Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.

Following the astounding America's Cup success one cheeky Kiwi is auctioning off a TEAMNZ number plate on Trade Me - with a starting bid of $20,000.
The user floppy9 has listed the plate from Taranaki. It urged buyers to "be the first to show them off around the streets of New Zealand".
Peter Burling was at the helm for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, when the Kiwis overwhelmed holders Oracle Team USA 7-1 to lift the Auld Mug off Bermuda on June 27.
Three bids had already been placed at the time of writing, bringing the total up to $20,100.
One buyer suggested a trade with their "ORACLE" plate that they wanted to get rid of.
Floppy9 advised to hold on to it until the next America's Cup as a good investment.
The seller divulged in the Questions and Answers section that they had bought the plates a very long time ago. They said the successful bidder would receive brand new plates instead of the ones pictured.
The Perak Road Transport Department (JPJ) is receiving many enquiries about three unique vehicle registration numbers that resemble the Malay phrase "Aku Boss" (I am the boss).
State JPJ director-general Mohd Zawawi Zakaria said they were expecting many bids for the vehicle registration numbers AKU 805, AKU 8055 and AKU 1305 over the next two weeks.
"The bidding starts today and ends on July 18," he told reporters at the JPJ building here.
There are three categories of numbers being offered, namely golden numbers, attractive numbers and popular numbers.
Mohd Zawawi said there is a minimum RM10,000 bid for golden numbers (1 to 10), RM2,000 for attractive numbers (11 to 19) and repetitive numbers (e.g., 22, 777, 9999), while bids for popular numbers start from RM300.
"Even though 805, 8055 and 1305 are normal running numbers, these numbers will be listed under the popular numbers category due to expected demand," he said.
However, he warned the potential winner of the AKU 1305 number to ensure JPJ specifications for registration plates are followed and not to place the "1" and "3" numbers so close together that it reads like a "B".

The first series of number plates were issued in 1903 and ran until 1932, using the series A 1 to YY 9999. The letter or pair of letters indicated the local authority in whose area the vehicle was registered, for example A - London, B - Lancashire, C - West Riding of Yorkshire. In England and Wales the letter codes were initially allocated in order of population size (by the 1901 census) whilst Scotland and Ireland had their own sequences incorporating the letters S" and "I" respectively, which were allocated alphabetically: IA = Antrim, IB = Armagh, etc. When a licensing authority reached 9999, it was allocated another two letter mark, but there was no pattern to these subsequent allocations as they were allocated on a first come first served basis. There are three interesting anomalies where a zero has been issued - The Lord Provost of Edinburgh has S 0 and his Glasgow counterpart has G 0 while the official car of the Lord Provost of Aberdeen has RG 0.

In fact, when the DVLA issues a car's registration plate, they actually follow a very distinct system.
While it may look like a random combination, a number plate can actually tell you how old the car is and where it was registered.
A new format for registrations was introduced in September 2001, meaning all cars registered after that date would have their number plate made up of three parts.
How to tell where the car is from
The first section of a number plate is the local memory tag – the first two letters of the plate.
This identifies where the vehicle was registered, and is itself broken down into two parts.
The first letter stands for the local area, for example E denotes Essex, while L stands for London.
The plate's second letter then identifies at which DVLA office in that area the registration took place – multiple letters can signify the same DVLA office.
How anyone can tell how old your car is just by looking at it
The two numbers in the middle of your plate identify how old the car is.
The DVLA issues two lots of number plate combinations each year on March and September 1st.
All plates issued between the 1 March and the end of August will use the same two numbers as the year they are registered.
For example, a car registered in May 2017 would have "17".
Vehicles registered between September 1 and the end of February the following year, use a similar pattern of higher numbers.
When the format changed in 2001, this group of vehicles were identified differently by starting the labelling from "51" rather than "01".
Therefore this second lot of numbers will always be 50 plus the year the car was registered – so after 2010, the number starts with a 6.
For example, a vehicle registered in December 2009 will show "59" on its plate but December 2011 will be "61".
Is any of the plate random?
The final three letters of the number plate tend to be a random combination that make the registration unique.
But it's not uncommon for cars with neighbouring letter sequences to be from the same manufacturer, due to batch allocation of new registrations to dealers by the DVLA.
The letters "Q" and "I" are excluded from the random sequence, along with any phrases that are deemed offensive.
Using the current scheme, there will be a sufficient combinations to last until the end of February 2051.
What about registrations before September 2001?
From 1983 onward, licence plates used a leading single letter to represent the year of first registration.
The letter "A" was used in 1983, progressing through the alphabet, finishing with "Y" at the end of August 2001.
The rest of the characters on the plate were random.
Prior to 1983, the same system was used, but with the year letter at the end of the plate rather than the beginning.
A PETITION against a police chief's decision to sell the first number plate issued to the county has gathered over 850 signatures.
Retired police constable Alan Matthews started the online petition after he found out that the 'AB 1' licence plate was up for auction.
Police enthusiasts have lambasted the decision to sell the plate, which has traditionally been used on the staff cars of Worcestershire's Chief Constables.
West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) John Campion claims the sale will enable him to invest in frontline policing.
Mr Matthews, aged 69, who worked for West Mercia Police from 1985 to 1994, said: "It's a piece of police heritage that shouldn't be sold off.
"It was the original number that the chief had. I just think that there's other ways the PCC could save money.
"I'm getting quire ratty about it. When you have been in the police you see how much waste there is.
"It's a sad thing that people in the UK have so much history but don't think much of it."
Jon Cherry, the director of regplates.com, thinks the plate will sell for between £225,000 and £275,000.
He said: "We have sold similar plates recently at this level and the market for high quality original issue number 1 plates is very strong.
"The buyers of these are intent on having only the best and only this plate will suffice!"
Mr Campion said his priority is use the assets at his disposal to make West Mercia a safe place.
"The prospect of a chief constable or any public servant using a private number plate belongs in a time gone by, both for security reasons and public expectation," he said.
"Therefore a considered decision has been made to market 'AB 1' and any sale proceeds will be reinvested towards frontline policing in West Mercia."
He acknowledged the history behind the plate but said it had not been used for around six years.
A spokesman for Mr Campion said he was not selling anything else apart from the number plate.
Vehicle registration was introduced in 1903 and it is believed 'AB 1' was first issued to Worcestershire's Chief Constable Herbert Sutherland Walker in 1908.
In 1989 a lot of these stored old models were registered in advance of legislation that required all new vehicles registered on or after 1 January 1990 to have catalytic converters fitted. This included vehicles held in storage and out of production for several years, in some cases five years or more. By the late 1990s, the range of available numbers was once again starting to run out, exacerbated by a move to biannual changes in registration letters (March and September) in 1999 to smooth out the bulge in registrations every August, so a new scheme needed to be adopted. It was decided to research a system that would be easier for crash or vehicle related crime witnesses to remember and clearer to read, yet still fit within a normal standard plate size.

Here at Inhabitat we love prefab house designs, and we like it even better when they actually get built! That's why we are very excited to report that Bellomo Architects' modular House Arc, which was just a prototype before, is now actually being fabricated. The House Arc can now be ordered online and shipped to any location, where it can be assembled by the user or community.
Inspired by the architects' Bike Arc design (a modular bike parking system) the House Arc was conceived as a modular housing system for communities in need but is also suited for people interested in low-maintenance, off-the-grid housing solutions. This compact house was designed for complete efficiency – it is naturally ventilated, easy to construct and can be outfitted with solar panels, and its lightweight structure made of recycled steel tubes is raised on concrete footings to allow air to flow underneath for passive cooling. Large windows allow natural light to filter through the house, while a shading trellis mounted on the roof prevents excess heat from reaching the interior. The entire unit has been constructed to withstand tropical winds and weather.
Weighing only 3,000 pounds and packed in remarkably small shipping boxes (4 x 10 x 3 feet), the house embodies the idea of compact living. "We designed the House Arc to function like a kit of parts so that it could be assembled quickly—like prefab furniture", says architect Joseph Bellomo.
The project will be a featured at this year's TEDxPresidio Conference, where the attendees will get the chance to view a full-scale section of the House Arc.

Scientists believe they are closer to working out how to stop an asteroid that could potentially wipe out Earth in 2880.
A paper published in the journal Nature by researchers at the University of Tennessee has found that blowing up the space rock, like in the movie Armageddon, could cause several collisions with the earth with devastating consequences.
They believe that the way to avoid calamity is to make changes to the surface of the asteroid in order to break it up in outer space.
The chances of the asteroid, 1950 DA, hitting Earth on March 16, 2880 is just one in 300. While the chances are small, for example, you have more chance of being shot dead in the US, scientists are not taking any risks with this one.
"Following the February 2013 asteroid impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia, there is renewed interest in figuring out how to deal with the potential hazard of an asteroid impact," Dr. Ben Rozitis, a postdoctoral researcher, told the journal Nature. "Understanding what holds these asteroids together can inform strategies to guard against future impacts."
The 1950 DA asteroid has a diameter of 3,280 feet (one kilometer) and is travelling at a speed of 8.7 miles (14 kilometers) per second. It would hit Earth at a speed of over 37,900 miles (61,000 kilometers) per hour.
The force of a collision would be like 44,800 megatons of TNT exploding and result in tsunamis and a huge change to Earth's climate.
Scientists say 1950 DA is rotating so quickly it is defying gravity and they have been puzzled as to why surface rocks aren't breaking apart from the asteroid.
"If just gravity were holding this rubble pile together, as is generally assumed, it would fly apart. Therefore, interparticle cohesive forces must be holding it together," Dr. Rozitis said.
During the meteor explosion in February 2013 an estimated 1500 people were injured, with the collision releasing more than 30 times the explosive energy of the Hiroshima bomb.
It ripped through the atmosphere at 11.8 miles (19 kilometers) per second and was equivalent to between 500,000 and 600,000 tons of TNT.

'The Voice' Battle Rounds Recap: Blake Shelton Keeps Liz Davis
On tonight's (Oct. 16) episode of 'The Voice,' coach Blake Shelton continued the previous evening's trend of making his battle rounds nearly impossible to call.
He struggled when making the choice for his team's sole battle of the night. He also contemplated a steal, but ultimately elected not to use it, since he wants his remaining steal for the absolute right addition to his team. He's well within his rights to do so, as it is his job to be the architect of the most well-constructed group.
So what went down with Team Blake tonight? Read on and find out.
Battle 1: Liz Davis vs. Nicole Johnson: Liz Wins!
Shelton had two country singers square off and sing his wife Miranda Lambert's song 'Baggage Claim.' It was rife with drama, since Davis and Johnson are both capable country singers, and they were tasked with singing a song of personal importance to their coach. Davis, a blonde bombshell, wants out of the honky-tonk scene in favor of a legit, stadium-sized country career, while Johnson's family moved in order to help her follow her dreams of a musical career, Taylor Swift-style. So both ladies had a fire in their belly and the motivation to take the battle round. Shelton appreciated Davis' experience, but told her to watch how nasally she gets. Johnson's youth and sweetness were appealing, but her "newness" worked against her.
When the ladies belted out Lambert's song, they were evenly matched. In fact, we could see them pairing off as a believable duo in the country scene, since they had a yin-yang, opposites attract thing going on. Davis was a leggy sexpot during the performance, while Johnson looked more prairie-friendly in her pink maxidress. Shelton struggled mightily with making the choice, and he paid the ladies a massive compliment by saying that when Lambert watches this episode, she will love what they did with her song. He also groused that his fellow coaches weren't helpful with their commentary. Christina Aguilera reminded him that this is his genre and he is the expert. Hence, why it was so difficult, because he had to pick between to quality representations of country music.
He chose Davis since she had better breath control and more experience. Poor Johnson was crushed. In her post-performance interview, she couldn't understand why Shelton "didn't want" her. It was so sad to hear her use that choice of words, since it wasn't the case.
The singer came up behind her to engulf her in a hug and told her she was great, so hopefully that offered her some comfort. We're convinced Nicole Johnson has a future in country music; tonight was just not her night and she is not the first nor will she be the last aspiring singer to face such tough rejection.
Shelton also elected not to steal Emily Earle, a country singer with a rock edge, when Cee Lo Green chose to let her go. Shelton liked her, and he thought about it, but he didn't feel she delivered a breakout performance worthy of using his remaining steal on.
Tune in next week to see how Team Blake continues to take shape on 'The Voice.'

2 energy workers burned in South Texas explosion
NIXON, Texas - Emergency officials say a fiery explosion at an energy company site in South Texas has left two workers with burns.
The Gonzales County Sheriff's Office says the explosion happened early Wednesday at a Vann Energy location near Nixon.
A sheriff's dispatcher says the workers were hurt during the fracturing process known as fracking. Chemically treated water is used to crack shale and release natural gas.
The dispatcher says both men suffered second-degree burns and have been airlifted to a San Antonio hospital. Their names and further details on their conditions weren't immediately available.
The cause of the accident has not been determined. Some nearby homes were evacuated for about two hours, as a precaution.
Company officials declined comment Wednesday.
Nixon is about 50 miles southeast of San Antonio.

Take away their leading scorer and starting goalie, and the Ducks still win.
Forced to adapt through a Sunday scratch of acknowledged leader Ryan Getzlaf (upper-body injury) and a last-minute illness to goalie Jonas Hiller, the Ducks weathered being outshot by Pacific Division rival Vancouver to win, 3-1, at Honda Center.
"You've got to be ready when you're called upon to give the team a solid chance to win the game," said rookie goalie Frederik Andersen, who found out he was starting for Hiller 30 minutes before the game and stopped 35 shots to improve to 6-0.
GAME SUMMARY: Ducks 5, Canucks 1
Owning the most points (31) in the NHL, the Ducks (15-3-1) are 8-0 at home and on an 8-0-1 run as they re-pack for a four-game trip that starts Tuesday in Florida. That trip will close a test of 20 games in 37 days and 12 of 15 road games.
"… January and February, we get a lot of time off. That seems like years away right now," said Ducks center Nick Bonino, who scored the decisive goal with 51 seconds remaining in the second period.
With an empty-net goal by forward Andrew Cogliano, the Ducks have outscored their eight home opponents by a combined 35-13.
Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau said the decision to scratch Getzlaf was made Sunday after the league's second-leading scorer (22 points) told the coach "he wasn't feeling right," experiencing lingering discomfort from a Friday morning-skate fall.
"It made for an easy decision," Boudreau said. "This isn't Game 77 or the fourth game of the playoffs."
Hiller was suffering through flu symptoms, Boudreau said.
The Ducks took just five first-period shots at Vancouver goalie Eddie Lack and — after scoring on two first-period power plays Friday with Getzlaf on the ice — let a high-sticking penalty pass with no real threat.
"The second-leading scorer in the league, one of the best players in the world, you're going to miss him, but we did a great job battling," Boudreau said.
Andersen kept the game scoreless through 20 minutes by stopping 13 shots.
Ducks General Manager Bob Murray has a tough decision to make. Goalie Viktor Fasth said Sunday he's recovered from an Oct. 17 lower-body injury and will be on the trip.
Andersen ranks second in the NHL in save percentage and third in goals-against-average (1.41).
"I want to just make sure it's a tough decision if they want to send anyone anywhere," Andersen said.
The Ducks first led when wing Corey Perry head-butted a bounding blue-line shot to the crease and tapped the puck into the net — his team-leading 11th goal.
Vancouver (11-7-2) answered less than six minutes later on Tom Sestito's first goal of the season.
Late in the second, Ducks forward Emerson Etem lured Lack to commit to his right, then delivered a pass allowing Bonino to score into an open net on Lack's left.
"We've had guys step in all year," Bonino said. "We've got a lot of character and a lot of depth, and it showed tonight."

Primus Aurelius Tergestus wrote:By the way, Mari, I like the idea of the Curatores being the Rectores. The body of all the Rectores could be a ruling Concilium for the Societas as a whole, subject to the limitations that sodales could recall their Rectores, etc.
This implies that we go back to the system that sodales sign up only for the Collegia that interest them - an idea that I've liked for some time. Only sodales inscribed in the rolls of a particular Collegium would be able to recall its Rector.
Now however, everything is on our forum, and I don't see how we could (or - in fact - why we would) still 'separate' our collegia.
Quintus Pomponius Atticus wrote:Any other reactions on this topic ? What do we want to do with the collegia / rectores ? Should the rectores be curatores or the curatores rectores (as is my suggestion, vide supra)?
Cleopatra Aelia wrote:To answer your question, could you just explain where the difference between a curator and rector would be?
Horatius Piscinus wrote:The real problem we had with rectores in the past is that we still have never clearly stated what we expect from our rectores. Under the proposed Regulae rectores can be appointed, and the curatores can give very specific instructions as to what role they wish a rector to perform in a collegium.
Quintus Pomponius Atticus wrote:I agree. The other problem was that it was almost expected that the rector had to 'keep the collegium going'. I think that was a wrong attitude from the beginning. I think a collegium needs to develop spontaneously, through the initiatives of all its members, rather than through the focused efforts of a 'headmaster'.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
What are the side effects of radiation treatment to the rectum?
Thank you,
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This is a question with two answers, since there are early and late side effects that can occur. The early effects of radiation to the rectum usually are minimal. The initial response is irritation. The rectum is a mucous membrane and like any mucous membrane when it is irritated, it makes extra mucous. Think about pollen or dust irritating your nose. People find their bowel movements are softer, "slippery," and more frequent. Some people will even leak a little brown mucous when they pass gas.
Other effects do include bladder irritation with urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia (urination at night). The skin around the area may get a sunburn and possibly peel; there is irritation of the vagina in women with dryness and adhesions in the vagina. Many women will go through menopause. There is a small risk of impotence in men.
Late effects of radiation for rectal cancer, which is usually done in conjunction with surgery, may rarely cause ulcers or stricture (less than 5% risk). With higher doses there is a risk of an ulcer. This usually occurs 12-36 months after radiation in a patch of scar tissue and is frequently caused by a scratch or other break in the mucous membrane. This allows a local infection to start and the tissue in the scar will die producing an ulcer. This is because the blood supply to the surface is reduced and the body has trouble fighting the infection, which allows the ulcer to get bigger. The infection causes swelling and the blood supply is further reduced. This is treated classically by applying a steroid enema or suppository to reduce the inflammation to increase the blood supply to facilitate healing. It also will interfere with the immune response to the infection. Recently, gastroenterologists have been looking at a new technique where they will laser the surface to stop the bleeding. Some physicians use the drug carafate (sucralfate), which was developed to treat stomach ulcers. It is sort of like spackling compound for the intestine and will stick to the inflamed areas. It promotes growth of the mucosa and it is antibacterial. This seems to work pretty well in most patients. The final late effect due to scarring is that it is possible to get a stricture as the fibrosis contracts as it matures. Surgery may rarely be required to deal with this complication.

(Trichosurus cunninghami)
Mountain Brushtail Possums are a little larger than the Common Brushtail Possum, weighing between 2.5kg to 4.5kg. They also have some other features that distinguish them from the Common Brushtail Possum. Their ears are slightly smaller and more rounded, and are usually darker in colour.
Mountain Brushtail Possums are found within the tall forest of the Great Dividing Range and along the coast from south-east Queensland to New South Wales and Victoria. They are patchily distributed and prefer to inhabit dense subtropical rainforests, wet sclerophyll and also tall eucalypt forests.
The Mountain Brushtail Possum's diet consists mainly of plant food such as leaves, fruits, berries, flowers, bark, fungi and lichens.
Their reproductive cycle is very similar to that of the Common Brushtail Possum. They become sexually mature at around two years of age, but rarely breed in this first year.
Possums communicate with each other in different ways, including using smells, sounds and visuals. Some sounds they use are hisses, clicks, guttural coughs and screeching. The noises of the Common Brushtail Possum are very similar to that of the Mountain Brushtail. They also have a variety of scent glands that provide each other with information such as identity, sex, and whether they are in season. They have around 11 scent-producing glands which are found on their sternum and cloaca, in their mouth and pouch, under their chin, on their ears and in between their digits.

Hannibal, (born 247 bce, North Africa—died c. 183–181 bce, Libyssa, Bithynia [near Gebze, Turkey]), Carthaginian general, one of the great military leaders of antiquity, who commanded the Carthaginian forces against Rome in the Second Punic War (218–201 bce) and who continued to oppose Rome and its satellites until his death.
Early life
Hannibal was the son of the great Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca. The Greek historian Polybius and the Roman historian Livy are the two primary sources for his life. According to them, Hannibal was taken to Spain by his father and at an early age was made to swear eternal hostility to Rome. From the death of his father in 229/228 until his own death about 183, Hannibal's life was one of near constant struggle against the Roman Republic.
Hannibal's earliest commands were given to him in the Carthaginian province of Spain by Hasdrubal, son-in-law and successor of Hamilcar. It is clear that Hannibal emerged as a successful officer, for, on the assassination of Hasdrubal in 221, the army proclaimed him, at age 26, its commander in chief, and the Carthaginian government quickly ratified his field appointment.
Hannibal immediately turned himself to the consolidation of the Punic hold on Spain. He married a Spanish princess, Imilce, and then conquered various Spanish tribes. He fought against the Olcades and captured their capital, Althaea, and he quelled the Vaccaei in the northwest. In 221, making the seaport of Kart-hadasht (modern Cartagena, Spain) his base, he won a resounding victory over the Carpetani in the region of the Tagus River.
In 219 Hannibal attacked Saguntum, an independent Iberian city south of the Ebro River. In the treaty between Rome and Carthage subsequent to the First Punic War (264–241), the Ebro had been set as the northern limit of Carthaginian influence in the Iberian Peninsula. Saguntum was indeed south of the Ebro, but the Romans had "friendship" (though perhaps not an actual treaty) with the city and regarded the Carthaginian attack on it as an act of war. The siege of Saguntum lasted eight months, and in it Hannibal was wounded. The Romans, who had sent envoys to Carthage in protest (though they did not send an army to help Saguntum), after its fall demanded the surrender of Hannibal. Thus began the Second Punic War, declared by Rome and conducted, on the Carthaginian side, almost entirely by Hannibal.
The march into Gaul
Hannibal spent the winter of 219–218 at Cartagena in active preparations for carrying the war into Italy. Leaving his brother Hasdrubal in command of a considerable army for the defense of Spain and North Africa, he crossed the Ebro in April or May 218 and then marched into the Pyrenees. Rome declared war shortly before it heard of his arrival at the Pyrenees, a decision spurred by Saguntum and Hannibal's crossing of the Ebro. Hannibal may have started from Cartagena with an army of around 90,000—including an estimated 12,000 cavalry—but he left at least 20,000 soldiers in Spain to protect his supply lines. In the Pyrenees his army, which included at least 37 elephants, met with stiff resistance from the Pyrenean tribes. This opposition and the likely desertion of some of his Spanish troops diminished his numbers as he reached the Rhône River, but he met little resistance from the tribes of southern Gaul. Meanwhile, the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio transported his army, which had been detained in northern Italy by a rebellion, by sea to the area of Massilia (Marseille), a city that was allied to Rome. Thus, Hannibal's access to the coastal route into Italy was blocked not only by the Massilians but by at least one army, with another gathering in Italy. As Scipio moved northward along the right bank of the Rhône, he learned that Hannibal had already crossed the river and was marching northward on the left bank. Realizing that Hannibal probably planned to cross the Alps, Scipio returned to northern Italy to await him.
Controversy has surrounded the details of Hannibal's movements after the crossing of the Rhône. Polybius states that he crossed it while the river was still in one stream at a distance of four days' march from the sea. Fourques, opposite Arles, is thought by some to have been the likely crossing place. Many also consider as possibilities the natural historic fording places between modern Beaucaire and Avignon. Hannibal used coracles and boats locally commandeered; for the elephants he made jetties out into the river and floated the elephants from those on earth-covered rafts. Horses were embarked on large boats or made to swim. During the operation hostile Gauls appeared on the eastern bank, and Hannibal dispatched a force under Hanno to cross farther upstream and attack them from behind. As the Gauls attempted to block Hannibal's crossing, Hanno's force struck, scattering the Gauls and allowing the main body of the Carthaginian army to transit the Rhône unopposed.
Hannibal then received friendly Gallic leaders headed by the northern Italian Boii, a Celtic tribe whose lands had been reduced by recent Roman settlements and whose superior knowledge of the Alpine passes must have been of the greatest value to Hannibal's plans. Indeed, Polybius makes it clear that Hannibal did not march toward the Alps blindly but instead had excellent information about the best routes. After crossing the Rhône, Hannibal's army seems to have marched north for about 80 miles (130 km) and passed into an area called "the island," the identification of which is the key to Hannibal's subsequent movements on land. According to Polybius, it was a fertile densely populated triangle bounded by hills, by the Rhône, and by a river that is probably the Isère. The confluence of the Rhône and the Isère marked the boundary of the Allobroges tribe, and on the "island" a civil war was being fought between two brothers, possibly both Allobroges chieftains. Brancus, the elder, in return for Hannibal's help, provided supplies for the Carthaginian army, which, after marching about 750 miles (1,210 km) in four months from Cartagena, was in sore need of them.
The Alpine crossing
Some details of Hannibal's crossing of the Alps have been preserved, chiefly by Polybius, who is said to have traveled the route himself. First to oppose the crossing was a tribelet of the Allobroges, who may have been angered by Hannibal's intervention on behalf of Brancus. This group attacked the rear of Hannibal's column in an ambush, possibly along the Isère at the "gateway to the Alps" (near modern Grenoble) and possibly where the river is at its narrowest, surrounded by high ridges of the Chartreuse and Belledonne massifs. Hannibal took countermeasures, but those involved him in heavy losses in men. On the third day he captured a Gallic town and from its stores provided the army with rations for two or three days.
After about four more days of passage along river valleys—very possibly the Isère and Arc rivers, although that is debated—through increasing elevations, Hannibal was ambushed by hostile Gauls at a "white-rock" place apparently one day's march from the summit. Those unnamed Gauls attacked the baggage animals and rolled heavy stones down from the heights, causing both men and animals to panic and lose their footings on the precipitous paths. Harassed by such daytime assaults and mistrusting the loyalty of his Gallic guides, Hannibal bivouacked on a large bare rock to cover the passage by night of his horses and pack animals in the gorge below. Then, before dawn, he led the remainder of his force through the narrow gorge entrance, killing the few Gauls who had guarded it and believed Hannibal to be trapped.
Mustering his forces at the summit of the Alps, Hannibal remained camped there for several days before his descent into Italy. Polybius makes it clear that the summit itself must have been high enough for snow drifts to persist from the previous winter; along with the other criteria extrapolated from Polybius, that suggests a summit elevation of at least 8,000 feet (2,400 metres). The problem of determining the exact location of the camp is compounded by the fact that the name of the pass was either not known to Polybius and his sources or it was thought not sufficiently important to provide to mostly Roman readers. Livy, writing 150 years later, sheds no additional light on the matter, and modern historians have posited numerous theories about Hannibal's exact course through the Alps. Proposed routes have included the low passes at Montgenèvre, Little St. Bernard, and Mount Cenis, as well as the high passes at Col du Clapier–Savine Coche and Col de la Traversette.
Along the end stages of the route, snow was falling on the pass, making the descent even more treacherous. Rockslides made travel on the narrow track hazardous, and the army was held up for most of a day while it was made passable for the pack animals and elephants. Finally, on the 15th day, after a journey of five months from Cartagena, with 25,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and most of his original 37 elephants, Hannibal descended into Italy. He had surmounted the difficulties of climate and terrain, the guerrilla tactics of inaccessible tribes, and the major difficulty of commanding a body of men diverse in race and language under conditions to which they were ill-fitted.
The war in Italy
Hannibal's forces were now inadequate to match the army of Scipio, who had rushed to the Po River to protect the recently founded Roman colonies of Placentia (modern Piacenza) and Cremona. The first significant action between the two armies took place on the Po plains, west of the Ticino River, and Hannibal's Numidian cavalry prevailed. Scipio was severely wounded, and the Romans withdrew to Placentia. After maneuvers failed to lead to a second engagement, Hannibal successfully goaded the army of Sempronius Longus into battle on the left bank of the Trebbia River south of Placentia (December 218). The Roman force was soundly defeated, although it is likely that the wounded Claudius Scipio did not take part in the battle, and it is uncertain if any of his legions were part of the action. That victory brought both Gauls and Ligurians to Hannibal's side, and his army was considerably augmented by Celtic recruits. After a severe winter Hannibal was able to advance in the spring of 217 as far as the Arno River marshes, where he lost an eye to infection. Although two Roman armies were now in the field against him, he was able to outmaneuver that of Gaius Flaminius at Arretium (modern Arezzo) and reached Curtun (modern Cortona). By design, that move forced Flaminius's army into open combat, and in the ensuing Battle of Lake Trasimene, Hannibal's troops all but annihilated the Roman army, killing at least 15,000 soldiers, many of whom were driven into the lake to drown. An additional 15,000 Romans and allied troops were captured. Reinforcements of about 4,000 cavalry under Gaius Centenius were intercepted before they arrived and were also destroyed. The Carthaginian troops were either too worn to clinch their victories and march on Rome, or Hannibal considered the city to be too well fortified. Hannibal, furthermore, nurtured the vain hope that the Italian allies of Rome would defect and cause civil war.
Hannibal spent the summer of 217 resting at Picenum, but later he ravaged Apulia and Campania; meanwhile, the delaying tactics of Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator's army allowed only skirmishes between the two armies. Suddenly in the early summer of 216, Hannibal moved southward and seized the large army supply depot at Cannae on the Aufidus River. There early in August the Battle of Cannae (modern Monte di Canne) was fought. Hannibal chose the ground wisely; he commanded the water supply of the Aufidus, and he forced the numerically superior Romans into a narrow plain bounded by the river and a sizable hill. He also positioned his army in such a way that the Romans had to engage it by facing into a hot summer wind carrying dust that irritated the eyes and reduced visibility. When battle commenced, the Gauls and Iberian infantry of Hannibal's centre line yielded (without breaking) before the drive of the numerically superior Roman infantry. The Romans continued their advance, exposing both of their flanks to the Spanish and Libyan infantry that comprised the Carthaginian right and left. Boxed in on three sides, the Romans' avenue of retreat was closed when Hannibal's cavalry returned after completing its rout of the Roman cavalry. The compressed Romans were butchered by Hannibal's army. Polybius gave the number of Roman dead at 70,000, while Livy reported 55,000; either way it was disaster for Rome. Virtually 1 in 5 Roman men of military age were slaughtered, and households at every level of society were affected. Dozens of senators were killed, as were many patricians and over 200 members of the equestrian class (Roman knights). Rome was now justifiably terrified of Hannibal, and he became a bogeyman to Roman children.
That great land victory, which came to be seen as the textbook example of a double envelopment, brought the desired effect: many regions began to defect from the Italic confederacy. Hannibal, however, did not march on Rome but spent the winter of 216–215 in Capua, which declared its loyalty to Hannibal, possibly with the hope of being made Rome's equal. Gradually the Carthaginian fighting strength weakened. The strategy suggested by Fabius after the Battle of Trasimene was again put into operation: to defend the cities loyal to Rome; to try to recover, where opportunity offered, those cities that had fallen to Hannibal; never to enter battle when the enemy offered it but rather to keep the Carthaginians alert in every theatre of war. Thus, Hannibal, unable because of inferior numbers to spread his forces to match the Romans and unable to employ that concentrated strength in a decisive battle, passed from the offensive to a cautious and not always successful defensive in Italy, inadequately supported by the home government at Carthage and, because of the Roman command of the sea, forced to obtain local provisions for protracted and ineffectual operations. That was a diplomatically challenging task, as Hannibal could not extract so much food as to alienate his local allies. In addition, many of his Gallic supporters tired of a war in which the promised plunder had dried up, and they returned north to their homelands. When combined with the slow but steady loss of his African veterans to combat deaths and injuries, the departure of Hannibal's Gallic soldiers represented a qualitative and quantitative erosion of his army.
Hannibal, except for the capture of Tarentum (modern Taranto), gained only minor victories (215–213). Reinforcements from Carthage were few. In 213 Casilinum and Arpi (captured by Hannibal in winter 216–215) were recovered by the Romans, and in 211 Hannibal was obliged to march to relieve the Roman siege of Capua. Hannibal marched to within 3 miles (5 km) of the strongly fortified walls of Rome in an attempt to draw away the Roman armies, but the move was unsuccessful and Capua fell. In the same year, in Sicily, Syracuse fell, and by 209 Tarentum, in south Italy, had also been recaptured by the Romans.
The wars in Spain and Africa
Meanwhile, Roman successes in Spain dealt severe blows to Carthaginian power there. In 208 Hasdrubal, detaching a force from the main Carthaginian army, crossed the Alps (possibly by his brother's route, although no great losses are recorded) to go to Hannibal's aid. Hasdrubal's army was defeated, however, at Metaurus in northern Italy (207) before the Carthaginian armies could effect a junction. Hasdrubal was killed in the battle, and his severed head was delivered to Hannibal's camp; that reportedly led Hannibal to lament, "There lies the fate of Carthage." His last hope of making a recovery in central Italy thus dashed, Hannibal concentrated his forces in Bruttium, where with the help of his remaining allies he was able to resist Roman pressure for four more years.
Scipio, elected consul in 205, overcame opposition within the Senate and won approval to take the fight to North Africa, breaking Carthage's principal ally, the Massaesylian Numidians, and endangering Carthage itself. In order to go to the help of his country, Hannibal was forced to abandon Italy in 203. Although a preliminary armistice had already been declared and the Carthaginian armies had accepted Scipio's severe terms (winter 204–203), Hannibal concentrated the remnants of the Carthaginian forces at Hadrumetum (modern Sousse, Tunisia). Almost at the very moment when the ambassadors were returning from Rome with the preliminary peace proposals, the Carthaginians violated the armistice.
Accounts of the campaigns that followed differ greatly, but they culminate at the Battle of Zama. Both Hannibal and Scipio, in order to link up with their respective Numidian allies, moved up the Bagradas River to the region of Zama Regia. Hannibal was now deficient in cavalry. The mercenary troops of his front line and the African infantry of his second line together were routed, and Scipio, seeing that Hannibal's third line, the veteran soldiers, was still intact, reformed his front and brought up the Numidian cavalry of Masinissa, his Numidian ally, in the Carthaginian rear. Hannibal lost 20,000 men in defeat, but he himself escaped Masinissa's pursuit. That marked the end of Hannibal's military campaigns on behalf of Carthage.
Exile and death
The treaty between Rome and Carthage that was concluded a year after the Battle of Zama frustrated the entire object of Hannibal's life, but his hopes of taking arms once more against Rome lived on. Although accused of having misconducted the war by his enemies in Carthage—chiefly, the merchant faction led by Hanno—Hannibal was made a suffete (a civil magistrate) in addition to retaining his military command. As suffete he was able to overthrow the power of the oligarchic governing faction at Carthage and bring about certain administrative and constitutional changes. Although Scipio Africanus, who had bested him at Zama, supported his leadership in Carthage, he became unpopular with a certain faction of the Carthaginian nobility because he challenged their graft. According to Livy, that led his enemies to denounce him to the Romans for inciting Antiochus III of Syria to take up arms against Rome. The strength of that accusation was questionable, but Hannibal was forced to flee, first to Tyre and then to the court of Antiochus at Ephesus (195). There he was welcome at first, since Antiochus was preparing war with Rome. Soon, however, the presence of Hannibal and the sound advice he gave concerning the conduct of the war became a source of embarrassment, and he was sent to raise and command a fleet for Antiochus in the Phoenician cities. Inexperienced as he was in naval matters, he was defeated by the Roman fleet off Side in Pamphylia. Antiochus was defeated on land at Magnesia in 190, and one of the terms demanded of him by the Romans was that Hannibal should be surrendered. Again, accounts of Hannibal's subsequent actions vary; either he fled via Crete to the court of King Prusias of Bithynia, or he joined the rebel forces in Armenia. Eventually he took refuge with Prusias, who at that time was engaged in warfare with Rome's ally, King Eumenes II of Pergamum. He served Prusias in that war, and, in one of the victories he gained over Eumenes at sea, it is said that he threw baskets of snakes into the enemy vessels in one of the earliest documented examples of biological warfare.
The Romans' influence in the east had expanded to such a degree that they were in a position to demand the surrender of Hannibal. In one account of his final hours, Hannibal, expecting treachery from Bithynia, sent out his last faithful servant to check all the secret exits from his fortress at Libyssa (near modern Gebze, Turkey). The servant reported back that hostile unknown guards stood at every exit. Knowing that he had been betrayed and was unable to escape, Hannibal poisoned himself in a final act of defiance against the Romans. The year is uncertain but was probably 183.
It is not to be expected that his Roman biographers would treat Hannibal impartially, but Polybius and Dio Cassius give the least-biased accounts. In spite of the charges of Hannibal's cruelty put forth by the Roman authors, he did enter into agreement with Fabius for the return of prisoners and treated with respect the bodies of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus (consul 215) and Lucius Aemilius Paulus (216), the fallen enemy generals. Of avarice, the other charge commonly laid against him, no direct evidence is found other than the practices necessary for a general to finance a war. Indeed, he spared Fabius's farm in Campania while ravaging the surrounding countryside, although that was done to fuel rumours that Fabius had reached an accommodation with Hannibal.
Much that was said against Hannibal might be ascribed to Roman propaganda, especially from Livy. One claim laid against him was that he cannibalized the bodies of his dead soldiers in times of great difficulty, but Polybius dismisses that charge as an idle suggestion made by a Carthaginian commander and offers no evidence that Hannibal acted upon it. In retrospect, Hannibal's physical bravery is well attested, and his temperance and continence were usually praised. His power of leadership is implied in the lack of rioting and disharmony in that mixed body of men he commanded for so long, and the care he took for his elephants and horses as well as his men gives proof of a humane disposition. His treachery, that punica fides that the Romans detested, could from another point of view pass for resourcefulness in war and boldness in stratagem. Of his wit and subtlety of speech, many anecdotes remain. He spoke Greek and Latin fluently, but more personal information is absent from his biographies. The only surviving portrait of Hannibal may exist in the form of silver coins from Cartagena, possibly struck in 221, the year of his election as general, depicting him with a youthful beardless face.

Sash Window Repairs Coton Green
Welcome to Classic Sash Windows and Carpentry, a leading specialist for Sash Window Repairs Coton Green.
Where the original sash window still exists but with the common problems of timber decay, sashes painted shut and inoperable or the sashes so loose that they rattle, let in cold air and allow the heat to escape and more often than not with broken or missing sash cords, we at Classic Sash Windows and Carpentry are experts at solving all these problems whilst being sympathetic to the heritage of the window and the property.
Mostly timber decay is limited to the main frame cill and possibly the lower sash bottom rail. Copies of these would be made and fitted so that it would be indistinguishable from the original. However, whilst the original window would have been manufactured from good quality slow grown and seasoned softwood, we do not have the luxury of such good material today, therefore all new windows or any timber used in the repair of a window that is exposed to the elements; a durable hardwood timber is used.
Whilst the window is being repaired and renovated, it is desirable, if not essential to include draught-proofing and maybe double glazing, whilst maintaining the appearance and functionality of the original. The Classic draught-proofing and Sash Release systems ensure that draughts are eliminated to BS6375 Part 1 standard and, with the draught-seals also performing the function of bearers upon which the sashes slide, it ensures the sashes will glide up and down without sticking or binding.
We also replace the sash cords and these have a special feature that allows quick and complete removal of both sashes for painting and maintenance without the need for tools or any special expertise. This is also useful for getting large items of furniture into the house. The massive additional benefit of this removal system is that the sashes can be stripped and painted away from the window and the remainder of the external box/frame can be painted from the inside, thus eliminating the need for costly scaffolding. We then offer the additional benefit of sealed unit double glazing. This is achieved by re-cutting the glass rebates to accept our Eco-Slim krypton gas filled sealed units giving a u-value of 1.9 Wm2k.
Occasionally if the glazing bars are very narrow, it may necessitate manufacturing new hardwood sashes to copy the originals but with slightly wider bars to accept the sealed units but this rarely upsets the originality of the window. Even fairly close up to the window, it is difficult to appreciate it is double glazed; hence it can sometimes be acceptable in listed properties.
So in summary, we can repair and retain your original 'antique' window whilst bringing it up to a high-performance level dictated by modern living standards – "Preserving the past – Protecting the future."
Our team specialises in sash window repairs Coton Green, so if you are based in Coton Green and would like to arrange for a free consultation, please contact Classic Sash Windows today.

Many of the technologies and strategies used in the RSF are a direct result of NREL's energy efficiency and renewable energy research efforts. The RSF uses 50% less energy than a building built to current commercial code and achieves the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum rating. Researchers working in the RSF use real-time building performance data to study the building's energy use and make adjustments.
Low-Energy Parking Structure
NREL completed a new, low-energy parking structure in February 2012. The structure's estimated energy use is 42 kilowatt-hours per parking stall, which is below the contract goal and represents a 90% reduction from an ASHRAE 90.1 2007 baseline. Ongoing monitoring and verification using end use metering will confirm energy use and allow researchers to tune systems to realize long-term energy efficiency.
NREL's state-of-the-art cafeteria includes many energy efficiency strategies, and uses about 25% less energy than a cafeteria built to current commercial code. NREL has applied for LEED Gold certification through the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program for the building. The cafeteria is located near the Research Support Facility, and provides a centralized location for NREL employees to dine, work, and host events.

Sidebar to the article Drugs, Race and Common Ground: Reflections on the High Point Intervention by David Kennedy
The story began in Boston in 1996, when an intervention called Operation Ceasefire largely stopped gang violence in the city. Operation Ceasefire combined problem-oriented policing with collaboration between law enforcement organizations and community stakeholders.
During face-to-face meetings, it was made clear to gangs that:
Operation Ceasefire was associated with a 63-percent reduction in youth homicide (ages 24 and under).
View larger image and text description
In October 2000, the Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative (SACSI) was launched. SACSI mirrored Operation Ceasefire in that it brought together law enforcement organizations, community partners and researchers to address crime problems. Most SACSI sites ended up working to reduce gun violence and using variations of the Boston model, but one site — Memphis — strived to lower the nation's highest sexual assault rate, with considerable success.
Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), established in 2001, builds from an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the SACSI model. PSN creates partnerships among federal, state and local prosecutors; law enforcement; researchers; media and outreach specialists; and community leaders. It tailors the intervention strategy to the needs of each individual district and to the gun problem in that particular area.
The High Point Intervention (also known as the Drug Market Intervention) draws on the principles of Operation Ceasefire, SACSI and PSN to not only stop gun violence, but also to shut down open-air drug markets and the chaos that comes with them: the street sales, crack houses, drive-through buyers, prostitution, gunplay and the taking over of public space. A separate program, the Comprehensive Anti-Gang Initiative, is using a similar approach to address gang membership. (For more information on these initiatives, see
topic pages on Gun Violence Prevention.)

Every victim of an unsolved homicide deserves to have a reward offered for information leading to capture and conviction of the killer or killers, according to a victims' advocate and mother of a murdered 16-year-old girl.
The killers of Jeanette Chavez's 16-year-old daughter, Sammantha Salas, were convicted three years ago and sent to prison.
Monrovia cousins Nickelis Blackwell, 30, and Rayshawn Blackwell, 28, began serving century-and-a-half prison sentences in 2010 for the Jan. 2008 slaying of Salas in an unincorporated county area near Monrovia.
Through her work with the victim advocacy group Justice for Homicide Victims, Chavez continues to fight to help other families pursue justice and carry on with their lives after being devastated by the slaying of a loved one.
And few things can have greater affect on a case than the offer of a reward to help capture the killer, Chavez said.
"Every homicide case deserves a reward," Chavez said. "No one should have to judge a person and say, 'Well, he was a murderer or he was a gang member.' The bottom line is getting these murderers off the streets."
Not only does the capture of a killer bring justice to a grieving family, but it also prevents dangerous people from going on to victimize others, she said.
"What can be more important that to catch a killer and protect the safety of the community?" Chavez added.
Whether through a monetary reward or media coverage, publicity is vital in unsolved cases, Chavez said.
"The best thing you can ever offer victims' families is rewards and media coverage," she said.
While a $10,000 reward offered by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors in Salas' case went unclaimed, Chavez said media coverage helped persuade a key witness in the case to come forward.
Unfortunately, rewards are not offered in the majority of homicide cases, she said, adding that she is "saddened" by each case in which a reward is not offered.
Many family members, including Chavez, have been told by their local city or county officials that a reward cannot be offered until detectives have exhausted all investigative leads in the case.
Many times, the reward is denied because of perceived wrongdoing on the part of the homicide victim, Chavez said, such as a weapon or drugs being found with the body.
Rewards vary greatly in amount, Chavez said. And in her dealings with officials and family members of homicide victims, as well as her own case, she said she's never been able to determine the reason.
"Why is it that certain cases get higher rewards than others?" Chavez asked. "Why are there inconsistencies? No one's death is more important. It should be a standard reward given across the board."
While the process of obtaining a reward should ideally be an easy one for family members, the current reality is that it often requires them to be proactive and act as the voice of their slain loved one.
Even when officials do issue rewards in cases, Chavez advised family members of homicide victims to keep track of the expiration date and make sure it gets renewed once elapsed.
"You have to knock at that door. Remind the detective. That's exactly what I had to do," she said.
One example of exactly such an involved family could be seen Friday at the corner of Studebaker and Foster Roads, where family members of a 20-year-old Norwalk man killed six months ago at the same intersection by a hit-and-run driver sold pins to raise money for a reward.
After trying unsuccessfully to get the city of Norwalk to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the driver who fatally struck Daniel Ortiz before fleeing the scene, family members elected to offer a $5,000 reward of their own in the wake of the fatal collision, Ortiz's sister Teresa Macias said.
They gathered Friday for a fundraiser to increase the reward amount.
Chavez said she saw no significant disadvantage to offering rewards in unsolved homicide cases.
"It's just another tool for the victim's families to know they have in hand, and another tool for the detectives," she said.
