His team won the pivotal game 5-3. "A storybook ending here at Santa Barbara!" the announcer told hundreds of spectators at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club. A confident prince had predicted he would win the 18-inch-tall trophy, exclusively created by Tiffany silversmiths for the match. His wife, Catherine, awarded the trophy cup to William and his three teammates after the royal couple exchanged congratulatory kisses on both cheeks. She also gave Tiffany gifts to all 12 polo players who played on the three teams participating in the six chukkars, or six periods, of Saturday's play. Before the game, the prince declared he and wife Catherine arrived at "one of the most beautiful polo grounds anywhere in the world" to raise money for charity and compete. "I'm not a good loser," he joked with hundreds of guests under a white tent as they prepared to eat lunch, adding he wanted to win.

...The age of exploration. A time when exploring was arguably the most important thing to do in life. European exploration went everywhere. They explored the earth everywhere that they could. So it was of no surprise that China was a choice on the list. An explorer by the name of Marco Polo sailed to China in the 13th century , his adventurous life , and his contribution to the world , will be our topic of discussion . Marco Polo They called him “the man with a million stories.” People flocked to Marco Polo’s home to hear him tell exciting tales about his travels in distant lands. Marco Polo won fame for his journeys across Asia. He wrote a book about his travels that became one of the most famous travel guides in history. Marco Polo was born in 1254 to a family of merchants. His home was Venice, Italy. Venetian merchants bought and sold valuable Chinese goods, including precious silk cloth. Such goods were brought to Europe along an ancient route known as the Silk Road. The merchants also used the route to travel east on trading missions. This famous explorer left his home in Venice in 1271 to sail for a journey of a twenty four-year. A journey that took him where no European had been before. He went across the Middle East to Central Asia . Yet, when Marco returned home, he told the amazing stories to very few people. In the thirteenth century, European traders wanted to enlarge their business to new parts of the world. Among them were Marco, Marco’s father and uncle, who...

...Every student is taught that Marco Polo brought back goods and spices from Asia and introduced these to Europe. He sailed out of his home city and began a twenty four year journey that spanned the entire length of the Asian continent. He encountered diverse groups of people and learned about their cultures and traditions along the way. What most people don’t know is that Polo described his journey to Rustichello da Pisa while they were together in prison. Pisa carefully listened to his stories and helped him put his journey into writing. This collaboration resulted in an influential travelogue titled Description of the World, which was published in 1300 in Venice. This publication, which was read by quite a few upper class men and women in Europe, explains all aspects of Polo’s voyage. Many years later, Ronald Latham translates this book into English, which allows the majority of the world’s population to read about the brilliant journey of Marco Polo. Historians, students, and regular people are now able to read about Polo’s journey and gain a wealth of information of the journey itself and the things and people...

...grandfather. Because my grandfather likes walking and my grandmother doesn't. Well they stayed for 1 month and went back to Turkey. The next visitors were my mother's schoolmates (can you believe it!!). They stayed one month as well. We kind of went to same places, when they were gone that was the fun. We went to Chamonix and Venice. The best thing there was the Jacuzzi and the pool. In Chamonix, the mountains haven. The highest there was Mont-Blanc and Auguille du Midi. We climbed with a cable car; it was totally amazing and extremely cold. This point was 3842 meters high. And, of course, I should not forget Venice, it was also a haven but I didn't see much because we had small amount of time. The most amazing thing was the square of San Marco Polo and then the gondolas. The thing I really liked about my holiday was getting a brand new VW Passat and seeing my grandparents (first time in two...

...Klux Klan mask. Similar to the images of the Guerilla Girls, these open the possibility for the community to engage with its own history and problems in more critical and meaningful ways. The value of art is that it is one of the first steps towards altering perception and inspiring change. This is because although art reveals the truth, by denying certain forms of art such truth is unfortunately subverted. As a result, the potential to grow from art as a fluid narrative is also withheld. The reason why art must constantly reinvent itself is that there is not one single uniform truth when it comes to its interpretation and as time changes, interpretations change. The novel Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino includes discussions between Marco Polo and Chenghis Khan of Khan’s empire’s state of affairs that...

...Marco Polo was one of the most important European explorers that traveled from Europe to Asia. When Marco was fifteen, he, his father and uncle set off to Asia. The journey was about three years long and they stayed in China for seventeen years. Three years later they returned to Venice, and Marco Polo was appointed commander of a Venetian ship in a war against Genoa. He was captured and, while being held in a Genovese prison, he met a prisoner named Rustichello. Marco told him of all his adventures and Rustichello wrote a book about them called "Books of the Marvels of the World," or better known in English as "The Travels of Marco Polo.” Although the book was a huge success, some did not believe all of it was true. Marco still knew that it...

...Jason Chen Mr. Hampstead English 124 003 14 February 2014 Leaders of Yesterday Running an empire compared to a city-state is not that much different depending on who is in power. Some characteristics seem to be prevalent in history and carried over to modern times. Marco Polo conducts much analysis on the many regions of the worlds he visits but he has a specific goal in discussing leadership. Does he believe that a leader should be a moral character or more of a political ideologist? Is it better to be a smart leader or a good person? The main focus of Polo was Kaan, but his discussions of other leaders, such as the Old Man of the mountain and Lord Prester, gives insight to other leaders of the past. The Old Man of the mountain was a deceptive leader who tricked people into being his followers because they claimed he controlled a place of paradise. He trained a group called Ashishin or assassins. The Old Man would take a man from the paradise and ask him from where he came; the man would reply, “that he came from Paradise!” (Polo book 1 Chapter 24) The Old Man used this illusion to motivate men to do his bidding. The selected men were driven to do his work based solely on the desire to return to paradise. The Old Man of the mountain was a commander of deception. Even though he used an illusion he was able to secure his kingdom, making him an effective leader. He did not seem interested in invading other areas, but to maintain the system he had created. The Old Man’s...

...Chad Dellworth Case: Kansas City Zephyrs Baseball Club: A Baseball Accounting Dispute ACCT 6350 1. How Should Bill Ahern resolve each of the accounting conflicts between the owners and the players? After meeting with both the owners and the players, Bill concludes that the three main accounting areas of concern between both parties are: * 1) Roster depreciation * 2) Player compensation * 3) Owners’ stadium fees In all of three of these conflicts, I noticed that the players tend to make more assumptions about the owners’ intentions than they do factual statements regarding sound accounting principles. I only mention this because Paul, the players’ lawyer, felt that the owners were being greedy and “hiding” profit in their accounting books rather than split their extra income with the players. According to our class reading Accounting for Property, Plant, and Equipment and Other Assets, all assets—in this case being the players—have a depreciation value. Unfortunately, PBPA goes against this statement by claiming that the players shouldn’t be depreciated at all; in fact, they went as far as to say that the players add value if anything. Now I don’t exactly claim to be an expert on baseball myself, but I know enough to safely say that baseball players tend to wear down over time. For example, pitchers are known for having shorter careers by throwing out their arm. Therefore playing baseball has to be taxing, not to mention risky. If anything, baseball...

...DAILY LIFE IN CHINA - Gernet There are many references to Marco Polo’s visit to Hangchow and calling it “the finest and most splendid city in the world”. It was understandably the most advanced city in the world in the 13th century A.D. Marco Polo’s visit was thought to have started the silk trade, which was so valued by the Western world. I understand that fairly unrestricted commerce and trade contributed to its grand success. There is an important lesson here in economics, which aided in elevating the city to a thriving and important cultural status. The diversity of its peoples from other cultures, the influx of philosophers, poets, artists, musicians, free thinkers and foreign trades men made this truly a city that never sleeps. With the pouring in of wealth and the making of wealth, elevation of the middle and elite classes was assured. Much of that wealth was circulated back into the economy in the building of a canal which made trade easier and the erection of the first mult-storied buildings. Although there is much speculation that the peasants didn’t benefit as well, they were still a contributing factor in the creation of the City since they supplied most of the agricultural goods to make this capital a gastronomical center, which still to this day holds that honor. In all, my thoughts are that unrestricted trade, commerce and innovation are not only what made Hangchow great, but also made America one of the greatest countries in the world...

RELATED World Congress members to get a glimpse of Hyderabadi wondersNearly 400 BJP activists heldHyderabad bikers go on a Swachh drive to Anantagiri HillsStudents from war-torn countries flock to Hyderabad HYDERABAD: After a decade-long fight with the government, families of former soldiers in the erstwhile Nizam army are set to realize their dream, owning quarters in which they had been staying for decades. In fact, 120 occupants have received title deeds last week. The Hyderabad district administration had set the process of regularization (transfer of rights of government land) of Nizam's ex-servicemen quarters (nearly 700) located at five prime areas — Banjara Darwaja (Old stables, Golconda Fort), Band Lines (Fateh Maidan, Nampally), Mohammadi Lines (2nd Lancer, Shaikpet), Masab Lines (Asifnagar) and Saifabad Lines (AC Guards, Asifnagar) — in the city in 2008. Before the Hyderabad state was merged with the Indian Union, the then administration had allotted these quarters to soldiers in the Nizam army. The Hyderabad district administration had served notices to the occupants to submit the documentary evidence. Responding to the notices, 527 applications were received from 497 occupants. The authorities then verified the applications...
