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.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
Recently, Rishi Kapoor bought himself a new set of wheels - a shiny new luxury SUV - and took it out for a spin yesterday. Mumbai Mirror couldn't help but notice the common thing between Kapoor's cars, old and new - the number plate digits of all cars in this Kapoor household total up to '8'.
A source close to the family told the tabloid that the Kapoor trio - Rishi, Neetu and Ranbir - have always considered the number '8' very lucky for the family. When Ranbir purchased his first jeep back in the late 2000s, the number plate was a one digit, '8'. Later, two cars that followed, one a fiery red sports car and another sedan, too featured a single digit plate.
On the other hand, Neetu, whose driven a blue SUV for the last couple of years, also has a number plate that adds up to 8. "It's also because it coincides with Neetu's birthday, July 8, and everyone in the family makes sure that the registration number totals up to it," the source added pointing out that even Ranbir's football jerseys always have the same number.
The Kapoor clan's affinity for numerology comes as no surprise, since it's always been about digits with Bollywood stars. Amitabh Bachchan, whose birthday falls on October 11, considers his lucky number to be 2 and many of his dozen cars feature the single digit on their plate, three of which have been photographed at multiple events.
Similar for Shah Rukh Khan, who has a triple five (555) on all his number plates. Shahid Kapoor also makes sure to flaunt his lucky number 700 on his plates and even added a custom plate to his Harley Davidson, with the three digit figure on it. Saif Ali Khan sticks to the number 7, since his birthday falls on August 16 and Sanjay Dutt always has a 4545 plate.
Also in the News:
HALIFAX—A Nova Scotia man fighting to have his last name — Grabher — reinstated on a licence plate says police have now forced him to remove an inactive Alberta plate from the front of his car.
Lorne Grabher said he received a call from police Monday after a complaint was lodged against the personalized Alberta licence plate he had on the front of his car.
Nova Scotia requires only one valid plate, at the rear, and drivers in the province often place inactive or novelty plates on the front of their vehicles.
Grabher says police told him he would face a stiff penalty for driving with a fraudulent plate if he did not remove the Alberta plate, which had his last name on it in capitalized letters.
The 69-year-old man said he feels he's being unfairly targeted.
"I've been red-flagged," he said from his Dartmouth home, noting the large number of vehicles in the province that have inactive out-of-province plates on the front.
It should be noted that the date denoted by a registration plate is the date a vehicle was first imported into the United Kingdom and registered with that registration system. For instance a vehicle manufactured in say 1991 and registered in Northern Ireland might have been given a 1993 registration letter when it was registered on the Swansea system. This also applies to vehicles imported from other countries. This is apparent by examining the registration document which will show a date of manufacture different from the date of first registration. The date of manufacture is notional, though, as vehicles may be manufactured and stored unused, for many years in some cases, and then registered as new when first registered into the system. This allows manufacturers to sell cars as new allowing for shipping, storing at dockyards etc.
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.
The current format of number plates started in September 2001 with the '51' number identifier as shown in the 'DE51YRE' example above. The idea was to make vehicles easily identifiable and to allow 2 changes per year instead of the traditional one issue per year. This took pressure away from car dealers and diluted the rush with registering all new vehicles at the same time. This new format created several million new combinations offering scope for specific unreleased numbers to be purchased.
Halfords has commissioned a survey which asked whether the respondents were in favour of number plates for cyclists. A "convincing" 59 percent of respondents were in favour of such a measure, said Halfords, with the retailer claiming the suggestion would "encourage responsible riding."
However, the survey has been criticised by motoring and cycling groups. AA president Edmund King told BikeBiz: "The AA believes that the introduction of number plates for cyclists would be impractical and unnecessary – police already have the powers to stop cyclists."
Cycling UK's head of campaigns and advocacy Duncan Dollimore said: "[The] government has consistently reached the conclusion that such proposals are disproportionate and unnecessary." And British Cycling's policy advisor Chris Boardman said: "No country in the world requires bicycles to be registered because it does not serve the public interest – it would be hugely expensive and drastically cut the number of people who cycle."
The number plate proposal from one of the leading UK retailers of motor-vehicle number plates is included in a press release that has been teased out to the mainstream media over the last couple of days. (The embargo ended one minute ago.) It's possible that the press release will result in some negative coverage for cycling, especially following the recent blanket media coverage given to Matthew Briggs' campaign to incorporate death and serious injury cycling offences into the Road Traffic Act.
The online survey of 2,042 adults was carried out in August by YouGov and has led to the production of "Sharing the Road", a 20-page infographic-heavy report produced for Halfords by its external PR company. The document has a foreword by the retailer's chief customer officer Karen Bellairs, who said "we wanted to examine whether there was a genuine willingness among cyclists and motorists to share the road."
The survey asked whether cyclists should have to take proficiency tests before being allowed to cycle on the public highway, and also asked whether motorists should be required to ride bicycles as part of the driving test. (The answers, respectively, were 50 percent and 18 percent in favour.) Respondents were also asked whether penalties should be increased for cyclists "who don't abide by the Highway Code" and ditto for motorists who "drove aggressively near cyclists." (86 percent and 80 percent respectively.)
Article continues below
While Halfords may claim that it is not itself advocating for cyclists to be forced to carry number plates, or for sanctions against cyclists to be increased, it's clear that they were the questions put to respondents by YouGov, and provided to them by Z PR of London on behalf of Halfords.
"What our new research makes very clear is that the car is still the nation's favourite means of getting around," said Bellairs, adding that "there is massive support among motorists for better training, more cycle lanes and improved facilities for cyclists." (45 percent of survey respondents said there ought to be "dedicated cycle lanes on all roads".)
Bellairs also claimed that the survey showed, with no evidence provided other than the online questioning, that there was a "genuine willingness" from Britain's motorists to "share the road." She said that this is something that "Halfords, which champions motoring as well as cycling, is very keen to foster."
The Sharing the Road report advises cyclists to "be a peacock" and to "always make sure you're wearing bright clothing when cycling, whether it's a high vis jacket or a high vis vest" but it does not contain similar advice for motorists (Halfords missed a trick here, it could have suggested motorists buy its spray-cans of yellow paint so they can make their cars more conspicuous).
The Halfords press release – which is headlined "Britons back tougher penalities for people who cycle aggressively but drivers and cyclists want to work better together" – states that "65% agree that cyclists should be required to wear reflective clothing, to give them the best chance of being seen."
Required? As in forced? That won't endear the company to many cycling customers.
There was no survey result – or, presumably, any question – about the compulsory wearing of helmets for everyday journeys, either for cyclists or motorists. However, there were questions and answers about cycle servicing. A perhaps surprising 48 percent of those asked said they could mend cycle punctures. And, in what will be news to independent bike shops, 43 percent of Brits can "tighten a loose chain"; 37 percent "know how to adjust their own brakes"; and 31 percent "can clean their gear mechanisms." (Those answers should make one wary of all the others.)
The report goes on to claim that an "overwhelming 93% think it would be beneficial for all education on road safety to be aimed at cyclists and motorists," as if it isn't already.
Responding to the Halfords report, the AA president told BikeBiz:
"Most cyclists are drivers and many drivers are cyclists so we need to live in harmony with each other. Rather than harsher penalties all round, we believe it is preferable to promote better training, infrastructure and positive attitudes."
King said he didn't believe there was a requirement for harsher penalties for law-breaking cyclists:
"There are already penalties in place for cyclists who don't abide by the Highway Code and we believe that targeted enforcement alongside education courses are a more effective way of making our roads safer."
The AA president added that existing laws need to be enforced first.
"We would prefer to see targeted police enforcement through schemes such as Operation Safe Pass whereby the police target dangerous drivers [who pass too closely to cyclists]," said King.
While careful not to criticise Halfords directly (the retailer and Cycling UK partnered for a project earlier this year) Dollimore was critical of the report's timing: "Given the uneven tone of the current debate on cycling, it was perhaps optimistic to expect this survey would be a constructive addition to the discussion."
He added: "We already knew some people instinctively think regulation and testing of cyclists is the answer. Those people frequently fail to appreciate the practicalities of imposing and enforcing regulations on children, the costs involved, or the public health and other implications of putting up further barriers to cycling. Fortunately government has consistently reached the conclusion that such proposals are disproportionate and unnecessary.
"Ultimately, there are opinions expressed in this survey which we agree with, and others we don't, but the truth is this is merely a summary of what people said in response to a series of questions. It's far better, when suggesting a need for change, to assess the arguments for and against, and this is precisely the point we will make to government as it considers its forthcoming cycle safety review."
Boardman said "compulsory proficiency tests and number plates, are quite obviously non-starters and cannot be regarded as a serious contribution to the public debate on road safety."
He added: "The reality is that [British Cycling], and other cycling organisations, already work with groups representing pedestrians and motorists to find ways to make our streets safer for everyone. Indeed Halfords themselves are part of our #ChooseCycling Network of British businesses that strongly believe more cycling is crucial to help business thrive, to encourage people to live healthier lives and to make Britain a greener, less congested and more pleasant place to live."
Boardman – who has an eponymously named brand stocked by Halfords – stressed that "laws should be developed using evidence, focusing proportionately on those with the ability to cause most harm. Around 1,800 people die on British roads annually and more than 99 percent involve collisions with motor vehicles."
It should be noted that there are no restrictions on using a vanity or cherished registration on a car that is newer than the original date of the registration plate, but it is prohibited to transfer a registration that is newer than the vehicle it is used on. This is to prevent the transfer of newer registrations to older vehicles as a measure to protect consumers.

Title: Ashwin
Author: Kit Rocha
Release date: 7 March 2017
Series: Gideon's Riders #1
Source: Review copy
Description: Lieutenant Ashwin Malhotra is a Makhai soldier—genetically engineered to be cold, ruthless. Unfeeling. His commanding officers consider him the perfect operative, and they're right. Now, he has a simple mission: to infiltrate Gideon's Riders, the infamous sect of holy warriors that protects the people of Sector One.
He's never failed to execute an objective, but there's one thing he didn't anticipate—running into Dr. Kora Bellamy, the only woman to ever break through his icy exterior.
When Kora fled her life as a military doctor for the Makhai Project, all she wanted was peace—a quiet life where she could heal the sick and injured. The royal Rios family welcomed her like a sister, but she could never forget Ashwin. His sudden reappearance is a second chance—if she can manage to touch his heart.
When the simmering tension between them finally ignites, Kora doesn't realize she's playing with fire. Because she's not just falling in love with a man who may not be able to love her back. Ashwin has too many secrets—and one of them could destroy her.
My thoughts: Ashwin launches the latest series from Kit Rocha, which will follow the fates & fortunes of the motorbike-riding bodyguards & enforcers who patrol the area known as Sector One - Gideon's Riders. There are eight 'sectors', arranged around the edge of a city called Eden, and Gideon is the leader of Sector One.
The book launches straight into the action. Ashwin and Kora cross paths in chapter two and you can feel the tension (and heat) between them straight away. Most of the conflict for the relationship comes from Ashwin's side of things: he knows some things about Kora and her past which she doesn't; will he/won't he tell her them? And he has some additional mission on top of inflitrating the riders: will people find out about that, will Ashwin stick to it as he becomes closer & closer to her, what consequences will it have for the relationship?
The story is told from several points of view, mostly Ashwin & Kora and I enjoyed hearing from both of them. Kora is an incredible doctor but is building a life for herself which doesn't just revolve around that. She's made choices to bring her to where she is, and she's a very determined person. Ashwin is very observant but doesn't really have people skills worked out well. He's not my favourite POV character but he was still very interesting to read about.
Looking at the bigger picture, this book lays a lot of groundwork on what life in Sector One is like, and some of the problems which might come up in later books. Kit Rocha has talked about there being a lot of 'court politics' type scheming in these books, with the hierarchy between the noble families being a very important aspect of Sector One. I'm really looking forward to that, but felt like we only dipped a toe into the pool of it in Ashwin.
Ashwin is a really good book to set up a new series and I can't wait to see where it goes. You meet a lot of interesting characters and I want to know more about almost all of them. The romance in this one was enjoyable to read, and I couldn't put the book down once I'd started. I'm giving it 7 out of 10.

Movement for a Democratic Society
Bill Ayers was born in December 1944 and was raised in a Chicago suburb. In the mid-1960s he taught at a radical alternative school -- part of the "free school movement" -- where students addressed teachers by their first names, and where no grades or report cards were given. By age 21, Ayers had become the director of that school. In 1968 he earned a B.A. in American Studies from the University of Michigan.
In the late Sixties, Ayers became a leader of the Weather Underground (WU), a splinter faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Characterizing WU as "an American Red Army," Ayers summed up the organization's ideology as follows: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents." One of Ayers' fellow WU leaders was Bernardine Dohrn, the woman who would later become his wife.
In a July 29, 1969 speech which he delivered at the University of Oregon, Ayers boasted of SDS's role in the Venceremos Brigades, a project initiated by the Cuban intelligence agency to recruit and train American leftists as "brigadistas" capable of waging guerrilla warfare.
Ayers was an active participant in the 1969 "Days of Rage" riots in Chicago, which were led by WU's antecedent group, Weatherman. In the mayhem, nearly 300 members of the organization engaged in vandalism, arson, and vicious attacks against police and civilians alike. Their immediate objective was to spread their anti-war, anti-American message. Their long-term goal, however, was to cause the collapse of the United States and to create, in its stead, a new communist society over which they themselves would rule. With regard to those Americans who might refuse to embrace communism, Ayers and his comrades -- including Bernardine Dohrn, Mark Rudd, Linda Evans, Jeff Jones, and numerous others -- proposed that such resisters should be sent to reeducation camps and killed. The terrorists estimated that it would be necessary to eliminate some 25 million people in this fashion, so as to advance the revolution.
In his 2001 memoir Fugitive Days, Ayers recounts his life as a Sixties radical and boasts that he "participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972." Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers writes, "Everything was absolutely ideal.... The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them." He further recalls his fascination with the fact that "a good bomb" could render even "big buildings and wide streets ... fragile and destructible," leaving behind a "majestic scene" of utter destruction.
All told, Ayers and the Weather Underground were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. "I don't regret setting bombs," said Ayers in 2001, "I feel we didn't do enough." Contemplating whether or not he might again use bombs against the U.S. sometime in the future, he wrote: "I can't imagine entirely dismissing the possibility."
In 1970, Ayers' then-girlfriend Diana Oughton, along with Weatherman members Terry Robbins and Ted Gold, were killed when a bomb they were constructing exploded unexpectedly. That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by hundreds of Army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Ayers himself attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, "tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too." Notably, Ayers' fingerprints were found at the bomb-making site, along with an assortment of anti-personnel weapons, stabbing implements, C-4 plastic explosive, and dozens of Marxist-Leninist publications.
After the death of his girlfriend, Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn spent the rest of the decade as fugitives running from the FBI.
Years later, Ayers would claim: "We [Weatherman] made a decision while we were willing to engage in extreme tactics, we would not harm human life.... We never hurt or harmed anyone. We destroyed property." But this claim was contradicted by Larry Grathwohl, a United States Army veteran and an FBI informant during the 1970s, who in 1974 testified before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security and reported that in 1970:
"Bill [Ayers] was the person who directed the 'focle' [a four-person task force, small in size to evade detection] that I was part of to place the bomb at the DPOA [the Detroit Police Officers Association] Building. He designed the bomb and told me that he would get the necessary materials, the dynamite, et cetera, and 4 days later Bill broke that focle that I was part of up ... and we were directed to go to Madison, Wisconsin."
Grathwohl talked about the case again at a 2012 conference sponsored by America's Survival, where he said: "During the meeting with Bill Ayers [in 1970] we were told that our objective would be to place bombs at the Detroit Police Officers Association ... and at the 13th precinct. Furthermore, Bill instructed us to determine the best time to place these explosive devices that would result in the greatest number of deaths and injuries...." When Grathwohl, at that time, pointed out to Ayers that a Red Barn restaurant next door would most likely be destroyed and the customers killed during the explosion, Ayers replied that "sometimes innocent people have to die in a revolution."
In 1974 Ayers co-authored -- along with Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Celia Sojourn -- a book titled Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism. This book contained the following statements:
The title Prairie Fire was an allusion to Mao Zedong's 1930 observation that "a single spark can start a prairie fire." Ayers and his co-authors dedicated the book to a bevy of violent, America-hating revolutionaries -- including Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin who had killed Robert F. Kennedy.
In 1980 Ayers and Dohrn surrendered to law-enforcement authorities, but all charges against them were later dropped due to an "improper surveillance" technicality -- government authorities had failed to get a warrant for some of their surveillance. Said Ayers regarding this stroke of good fortune: "Guilty as sin, free as a bird. America is a great country."
Next, Ayers embarked on a quest to radicalize America by working within, rather than outside of, the nation's mainstream institutions. In particular, he sought to embed himself in a position of influence within the education establishment. In 1984 Ayers earned a master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Bank Street College. Three years later he received a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Columbia University's Teachers College.
In 1987 Ayers was hired as a professor of education at the University of Illinois, a post he would hold until 2010. As of October 2008, his office door at the university was adorned with photographs of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Che Guevara, and Malcolm X.
In 1994 Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Michael Klonsky were among those listed on a "Membership, Subscription and Mailing List" for the Chicago Committees of Correspondence, an offshoot of the Communist Party USA.
In 1995, Ayers and Dohrn hosted a fundraiser at their home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors and political allies as Obama prepared to make his first run for the Illinois state senate. (This fundraiser was likely organized by the socialist New Party.) Also present at the meeting were Alice Palmer and Quentin Young.
There is strong evidence suggesting that Ayers wrote Dreams from My Father, Barack Obama's 1995 memoir.
In 1995, Ayers -- whose stated educational objective is to "teach against [the] oppression" allegedly inherent in American society -- founded a "school reform organization" called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), which granted money to far-left groups and causes such as the community organization ACORN. Ayers' teacher-training programs, which were funded by CAC, were designed to serve as "sites of resistance" against an oppressive social system.
Ayers also created, in collaboration with longtime communist Mike Klonsky, the so-called "Small Schools Movement" (SSM), where individual schools committed themselves to the promotion of specific political themes and pushed students to "confront issues of inequity, war, and violence." A chief goal of SSM is to teach students that American capitalism is a racist, materialistic doctrine that has done incalculable harm to societies all over the world. One of the more infamous students to attend an SSM school (Mountain View High School in Arizona) was Jared Lee Loughner, the gunman who -- on January 8, 2011 in Tucson -- shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head, leaving her in critical condition. Loughner also sprayed gunfire at others in the vicinity, wounding thirteen and killing six.
In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a board member alongside Barack Obama until December 2002, at which time Obama left. Ayers went on to become Woods' board chairman.
Notwithstanding his radical past, Ayers in 2001 rejected the claim that he and his fellow Weather Underground members had ever been terrorists. "Terrorists destroy randomly," he wrote, "while our actions bore ... the precise stamp of a cut diamond. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate."
Also in 2001, Ayers expressed his enduring hatred for the United States: "What a country. It makes me want to puke."
At a 2007 reunion of former members of the Weather Underground and Students for a Democratic Society, Ayers reemphasized his contempt for the U.S., asserting that the nation's chief hallmarks included "oppression," "authoritarianism," and "a kind of rising incipient American form of fascism." Moreover, he claimed that the U.S. was guilty of pursuing "empire unapologetic[ally]"; waging "war without end" against "an undefined enemy that's supposed to be a rallying point for a new kind of energized jingoistic patriotism"; engaging in "unprecedented and unapologetic military expansion"; oppressing brown- and black-skinned people with "white supremacy"; perpetrating "violent attacks" against "women and girls"; expanding "surveillance in every sphere of our lives"; and "targeting ... gay and lesbian people as a kind of a scapegoating gesture ..."
In November 2007, Ayers spoke at a Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) "Convergence" in Chicago. Though not officially listed as a member of MDS, he has referred to the organization's activities as "our work."
In March 2008 Ayers was elected (by a large majority of his peers) as Vice President for Curriculum Studies at the American Educational Research Association (AERA), putting him in a position to exert great influence over what is taught in America's teacher-training colleges and its public schools. Specifically, Ayers seeks to inculcate teachers-in-training with a "social commitment" to the values of "Marx," and with a desire to become agents of social change in K-12 classrooms. Whereas "capitalism promotes racism and militarism," Ayers explains, "teaching invites transformations" and is "the motor-force of revolution." According to a former AERA employee, "Ayers' radical worldview, which depicts America as "the main source of the world's racism and oppression," thoroughly "permeates" AERA.
Ayers has also contributed money to Teaching for Change and Rethinking Schools, groups dedicated to turning K-12 students into social and political activists.
In a December 2012 speech at New York University, Ayers emphasized the importance of using the education system, among other things, to indoctrinate young people and thereby transform American society. Said Ayers: "If we want change to come, we would do well not to look at the sites of power we have no access to; the White House, the Congress, the Pentagon. We have absolute access to the community, the school, the neighborhood, the street, the classroom, the workplace, the shop, the farm."
Author and longtime English professor Mary Grabar explains how Ayers has exerted a very large influence on the American education system:
"[Ayers] was successful in helping to transform and destroy education. And he did it at taxpayers' expense. He has trained hundreds of teachers. He worked closely with Obama and [U.S. Secretary of Education] Arne Duncan in Chicago in funding programs aimed at radicalizing students. One of his closest colleagues, Linda Darling-Hammond, was on Obama's education transition team, and was in charge of developing one of the two Common Core tests. And Bill Ayers has appeared at conferences with Duncan and other officials in organizations that devised Common Core.
"Education has always been the gateway for the smart and ambitious to get into the middle class. Ayers aims to destroy that opportunity, especially in the 'urban schools,' which is what the University of Illinois at Chicago, where Ayers taught, specializes in....
"Bill Ayers likens a traditional school to prison because it requires students adhere to dress codes, schedules, and rules of discipline. But he has had captive audiences and has used his power as a professor to indoctrinate future teachers. His education philosophy is based on anarchism, progressivism, and Marxism. It's all about radicalizing children in social justice lessons, and making them see themselves as victims of an evil capitalistic system.
"It's a toxic mixture, especially for the most vulnerable children who benefit the most from a traditional education, as studies show. His philosophy then filters down to practices and policies. Obama's Justice Department order on racial quotas for school punishment parallels Ayers' calls for eliminating discipline of inner-city students.
"The last thing that Ayers and his fellow Marxists want is for inner city boys to become middle class husbands and fathers. What they are producing is more Trayvon Martins, more rioters in the streets of Baltimore. The black community should be outraged that these upper-class white radicals are using their children in this way.
"Sadly, Ayers' books are among the most widely used in education schools. Future teachers study them. He speaks at education conferences, and as I saw in 2013 at one major conference, is revered as a legitimate academic and mentor.... What Bill Ayers would have in the classroom extends the 1960s agenda of smashing monogamy, ending the bourgeois family and its values, destroying the work ethic, patriotism. So what we have is kids indoctrinated with lessons about the police—the 1960s narrative about the 'pigs'—fatherless, rootless, joining gangs, and looting in the streets. It's a Marxist's dream come true."
Ayers' influence in education is not limited solely to his work in the United States. Indeed, he currently sits on the board of the Miranda International Center, a Venezuelan government think tank dedicated to bringing Cuba-style education to Venezuelan schools. (Ayers greatly admires Venezuela's Marxist President Hugo Chavez.)
At a May 18, 2009 rally organized by the Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine, Ayers joined Rev. Jeremiah Wright in addressing a crowd of more than 400 people at the First United Church of Oak Park (a Chicago suburb) just prior to participating in an annual walk designed to call attention to Israel's alleged crimes against the Palestinian people. Today Ayers is an affiliated activist of the anti-Israel organization Free Gaza, along with such luminaries as Bernardine Dohrn, Jodie Evans, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Adam Shapiro. Ayers is also an endorser of the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. To view a list of additional notable endorsers and supporters, click here.
In August 2010, Ayers announced that he was retiring from his teaching post at the University of Illinois. However, he continues his work with AERA and serves also as an editorial-board member of In These Times, a Chicago-based socialist journal.
Beginning in the fall of 2011, Ayers was a strong supporter of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, which he described as a "North American Spring," akin to the "Arab Spring." Said Ayers: "These kinds of movements expand our consciousness of what's possible." On October 19, 2011, Ayers led a "teach-in" for members of "Occupy Chicago" (that city's OWS contingent) on the tactics and history of "non-violent direct action." He lauded the Chicago activists for their "brilliance"; condemned America's "violent culture"; and derided the Tea Party movement as a bastion of "jingoism, nativism, racism."
In March 2011, Ayers addressed an Occupy Wall Street contingent in New York City and told them: "I get up every morning and think, today I'm going to make a difference. Today I'm going to end capitalism. Today I'm going to make a revolution. I go to bed every night disappointed but I'm back to work tomorrow, and that's the only way you can do it."
In November 2011, Ayers was a keynote speaker at the National Association for Multicultural Education's (NAME) international conference in Chicago, along with critical race theorist Patricia Williams and several others. In December 2012, Rick Ayers, a teacher-education professor at the University of San Francisco, was elected as NAME's co-president.
In September 2015, Ayers expessed support for the presidential campaign of socialist U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. "I believe," wrote Ayers, "that among the Sanders supporters there are thousands who are dissatisfied, who are disgruntled, but who do not have a coherent left analysis, who therefore are open to our ideas as they weren't before they got involved in the Sanders surge. These seekers will be open (certainly many of them) to ideas from the Left of Sanders.... So, why don't we joi[n] a Sanders local campaign or go to a mass rally? If it seems right, we could have leaflets about participatory democracy compared to the top down structure of the campaign. We could have lists of places and projects where anarchists and others are working with people in projects that are using anarchist and community participatory ideas and vision. Places where Bernie supporters might get involved once they knew about them."
Bill Ayers has authored a series of books about parenting and educating children, including: A Kind and Just Parent; The Good Preschool Teacher; Zero Tolerance: Resisting the Drive for Punishment in Our Schools; and Teaching Towards Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom.
Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn raised three children. One is named Malik (the Muslim name of Malcolm X). Another is named Zayd (after Zayd Shakur, a Black Liberation Army revolutionary who was killed while driving the cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard -- a.k.a. Assata Shakur -- to a hideout). The third, a boy named Chesa Boudin, was raised by Ayers and Dohrn after his natural parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were sentenced to lengthy prison terms for their roles in the 1981 Brinks murders, a joint Weatherman and Black Liberation Army operation that resulted in the killing of two police officers and an armed guard.

Are the New York Jets close to moving Darrelle Revis? It appears so.
The Jets have granted the cornerback permission to visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and take a physical, a Jets source told NFL.com's Albert Breer on Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news.
Revis arrived at the Buccaneers' training facility Sunday afternoon, and Breer reported that he is expected to take a physical.
The Revis-to-Buccaneers reports have been all over the place. It recently was reported that the Bucs were getting impatient with the slow-moving Jets. Other reports had the Jets prepared to make a move before the start of 2013 NFL Draft on Thursday.
The Jets seemed to be asking for too much early on in negotiations, but they might want to take what they can get in terms of draft picks. Getting the physical out of the way allows for an immediate deal to be reached.
|Take a look at the best photos of Darrelle Revis through the years.
Revis is continuing to rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered in his left knee last season. The Buccaneers, who will want to know as much about the knee before committing to a trade for Revis, hold the No. 13 overall pick in the draft and likely would have to give up that and a second-rounder. Another later pick is probable. The Jets already own the No. 9 overall selection.
What does Jets coach Rex Ryan think about the news? We knew you'd ask. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Ryan "expected it," according to a source who regularly speaks to Ryan.
Revis and the Buccaneers have been working on a long-term contract for several days, sources briefed on the process told Rapoport. Substantial progress has been made, Rapoport reported, and the Buccaneers seem comfortable enough to make the trade, knowing Revis wouldn't be a one-year rental. The physical is thought to be the trade's final piece before everything comes together.
UPDATE: The Jets traded Revis to the Buccaneers on Sunday. Revis signed a six-year, $96 million contract with no guaranteed money, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The Jets will receive a first-round pick in 2013 and a conditional third- or fourth-round pick in 2014.

Me in front of the Alps at the Bodensee, Bavaria, Germany
Hi guys!
It has been such a long time since my last post. I could start and find excuses and reasons of why I didn't post in over a month. Let's just hear the important one: I was on vacation!
I don't want to start right away to tell you my trip, it deserves several posts on its own. Lets just say that I had an amazing time and that I bought some yarn! I spend little time knitting (secret projects...), and I have a lot to do in the upcoming 2 weeks (some sleepless/knitfull nights?)...
Have a nice week-end guys, and stay tuned because I am back on track and I plan on blogging more and more!

Review: Metageek Wi-Spy DBx
Page 1 of 1
Metageek Wi-Spy DBxPrice: $799
Pros: analyzes both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands; Chanalyzer supports remote access to Wi-Spy; signature sidebar simplifies identification of interfering devices and networks
Cons: Chanalyzer software only runs on Windows
Getting a Wi-Fi network up and running can be as simple as plugging in and powering up the hardware, but ensuring your wireless network is operating at its full performance potential means considering--and mitigating--the impact of myriad potential sources of interference (like other nearby networks).
Metageeks $799 Wi-Spy DBx spectrum analyzer is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that lets you see the encumbering effects of other wireless networks and devices in your airspace. The Wi-Spy DBx, which is the latest addition to Metageeks family of Wi-Spy products, builds on the capabilities of its predecessor, the Wi-Spy 2.4x, by adding the ability to scan the 5 GHz wireless band as well as the more heavily utilized 2.4 GHz band. This dual-band capability allows the Wi-Spy DBx to survey the wireless landscape around of any type of Wi-Fi network802.11b, g, a, or n.
The Wi-Spy DBx is a compact USB dongle-style device that can scan frequency ranges between 2.400 and 2.495 GHz or 5.150 and 5.850 at a resolution of 24 kHz to 3 MHz, and has an amplitude range of -100dBm to -6.5 dBm at a resolution of .5 dBm. The DBx sports an RP-SMA antenna jack, so you have the option to replace the standard external omnidirectional antenna with a higher gain or directional antenna if needed. Included with the DBx is a copy of Metageeks Chanalyzer 3.2 software (for Windows VistaXP/2000) thats recently been updated with some new features of its own.
Calling interference
Chanalyzers topographic view is particularly useful for determining the presence of interfering devices, and the softwares signature sidebar can make identifying an offending device easier by letting you overlay the wireless emission pattern of common interference-causing devices onto the topographic view. When the DBx is in 2.4 GHz mode, Chanalyzers signature sidebar includes signals of numerous devices that can cause interference in that band, including 802.11 b/g/n access points, cordless phones, audio/video transmitters, and wireless PC peripherals, such as keyboards and mice.
Battle of the bands
You can easily switch the DBx to 5 GHz mode by right-clicking the Chanalyzer graph X-axis. In contrast to the 2.4 GHz band--which in most areas will be more crowded than a punch clock at quitting time--the 5 GHz mode is bound to be relatively quiet, though thats sure to change as 5 GHz n networks become more common. Our DBx detected the telltale sign of our 5 GHz n network at 5200 MHz, along with another one we temporarily set up on an adjacent channel. It also exposed signals produced by a 5.8 GHz cordless phone in use over at the high end of the band.
Anyone that wants to quickly identify the most hospitable frequency for a wireless network will appreciate Chanalyzers Wi-Fi Channel Report, which reports the duty cycle of each channel and assigns each a numerical grade.
One thing that the Wi-Spy DBx cant do irrespective of the band its surveying is tell you the SSIDs of the wireless networks it detects. But thanks to its new Wi-Fi sidebar, Chanalyzer can obtain that information via your systems Wi-Fi adapter. This lets you match faces to names by displaying SSID labels over the networks corresponding signal pattern in the topographic view.
Going remote
One of Chanalyzers most promising new features is its ability to connect to a DBx across the network. The option to leave the DBx running at one location and monitor it from another can come in very handy when you need to diagnose intermittent interference issues, which often calls for hours or even days of data collection.
Remote access requires a separate Metageek utility called Recon for Wi-Spy that allows a system running Chanalyzer to connect to the DBx by specifying the host systems IP address (and must be installed onto the computer with the DBx connected). When connected remotely, Chanalyzer can interact with the DBx much as it does when the device is directly attached--you can view real time data, save data recordings, view channel reports, etc.
One caveat is that the remote access feature didnt always work consistently; on some occasions we couldnt establish a remote connection, and on others the connection failed to deliver any data. (The Recon softwares help file reports that the utility is still under development and may contain bugs that need to be worked out.)
As more and more networks take up residence in the 5 GHz band to escape the overcrowding at 2.4 GHz, the ability to scan those higher frequencies will become increasingly important. With Wi-Spy DBx and Chanalyzer 3.2, youll be equipped to detect wireless interference wherever it occurs.

click on the card you want to read about!
We provide you with the latest updates happening around in the education sector. Be it the Indian cabinet approving the Indian institute of information technology bill or Hyderabad university getting 113 crore funding from the defense ministry, we keep you updated with the latest happenings buzzing in the world of education. For we believe, the more updated you are, better decisions you will make. The latest updates will help you shape up a better perception of the current scenario and help you choose a career path that will lead you to your dreams.
Many people value higher education for monetary reasons. They believe that a higher education will allow them to find more lucrative careers that have high salaries and bountiful opportunities for raises and bonuses. These monetary benefits may be able to increase a person's living condition because he or she will be able to afford housing and health costs. Despite these monetary reasons, there are other reasons why higher education is important.
Learning How to Solve Problems
During your higher education, you will be faced with a variety of problems. These problems will occur inside as well as outside the classroom. In the classroom, your professor may randomly call on you to explain a theory or a principle. You may have to solve problems with equations for your homework or during lectures depending on your major. Midterms and finals also demand you to be able to solve a variety of problems including problems that aren't on the test like how to manage your study time. As you face these problems, you will need to learn how to solve them on your own.
When solving problems during your time in school, you can learn how to approach them in different ways and be open to alternate solutions. You're also able to develop your critical thinking skills. By learning how to solve problems, you may be able to solve problems in your workplace or in your home much easier later on.
Learning How to Deal with Other People
While you're attending school, you may meet a variety of people from different social backgrounds, which is what you will probably face in your workplace. You will be dealing with professors as well as other students. When you're dealing with your professor, you can practice how you would approach a person in an authoritative position in a working environment. When making a request, would you ask in person or through an e-mail? When you feel like you're being treated unfairly, would you be confrontational or try your best to be polite? Other than professors, you will also be dealing with other students. Learning how to collaborate with other students especially during group projects may help you learn how to interact better in a group, which may benefit your career later on. Collaboration is often an essential aspect of any type of work environment.
A Final Thought on Higher Education
Higher education skills will help you find a lucrative career while teaching you how to deal with a variety of other real-life situations. The ability to solve problems and the ability to communicate with other people are even important in personal relationships. Higher education is more than a stepping stone to a career. It's about learning how to develop a better you.
The Indian education system has traditionally been marks-oriented and with the coercive pressure of burgeoning population of college aspirants, this structure is not going to change but become further deep-rooted.
Even with sweeping reforms, installation of novel state-of-the-art universities and enhancing the number of seats available, about seven million students are without an admission as of 2016. This number is expected to snowball to 15 million within a decade.
Even after securing above 90 per cent, no one is guaranteed admission even in the minor colleges. This has led to the mushrooming of hundreds of unrecognized private colleges of questionable affiliations, expertise or value of the degrees attained.
To avoid becoming a statistic or a graduate from a mediocre college, it is time for the students to be proactive and look for alternatives that can absorb them on a large scale and secure a thriving future.
Importance of foreign education
1) Western countries focus on the overall personalities and promote creativity
2) They look out for and recognise students with varied idiosyncrasies and uphold diversity
3) It opens the door to future success for all those who have eclectic potential, willing to explore beyond the marked boundaries and want an education from a new perspective
4) So, even if you didn't score the astronomical 99 per cent, your destiny can still shine brighter than best if you knock the right doors.
How can the education expenses be met?
1) Indian parents have had reservations about the exorbitant cost of foreign education and how quickly it can dent their lifelong savings. These qualms are now mitigated with colleges offering a multitude of scholarships to candidates with comprehensive profiles.
2) This means that instead of worrying about the college admission, parents, and students, must start building a portfolio that will make universities in the UK and the US such as Stanford, Oxford, Yale, Cambridge et al seek their child instead of the other way round.
USA is the top study destination for Indian students with almost 53 per cent students from India going to USA, alone. Its academic excellence allures a majority of students to apply for top-notch colleges. It boasts of almost an avalanche of 4,495 universities with global recognition for their excellence in imparting knowledge.
Students idealize USA for its blue-chip professional opportunities. Along with a solid education system, USA offers the most scholarships across the globe. With a proper profile, a student can achieve full scholarships (100 per cent) and also waiver on living expenses.
Several European countries, especially Germany and France, have universities that are government-funded and are welcoming overseas students to propagate diversity and make their countries alluring to the students who would otherwise prefer the US or the UK. Most of these universities teach in English and have ultramodern resources and offer up to 100 per cent scholarships.
Encounter a Unique Study Abroad Destination
Anybody can go to Europe, the Far East, or "Down Under", however the UAE is a generally new goal experiencing consistent and extraordinary change. Try not to be one of the group – make a beeline for the UAE for a radical new sort of experience!
Many Cultures in One Location
Consider in the UAE, and you will unquestionably take in a ton about the Emirati culture. Notwithstanding, Emiratis just make up around 20% of the nation's populace, with the rest of from everywhere throughout the Arab-Islamic world, and past! While the vast majority communicate in English, walk the lanes and you will hear discussions in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Tagalog, English, and any number of different dialects. You will leave far from this review abroad involvement with a wide learning and understanding into a wide scope of world societies. The UAE is the place to find the genuine significance of the word internationalization.
Advantage from Excellent Educational Facilities
There are a scope of study abroad open doors, from substantial state funded colleges to littler private universities, and everything in the middle. Huge numbers of these will be licensed both by the UAE's Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR), and by a certifying office in another nation. For instance, the American University of Sharjah (AUS) is certify mutually by MOHESR and by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in the US. That, as well as AUS's individual projects are authorize to the "best quality level" inside the US framework (i.e. AACSB, ABET, and NAAB). This implies understudies can proceed with their significant reviews in certainty at a great college, while encountering the greater part of the advantages and experience that review abroad in the UAE brings to the table.
Investigate All Seven Emirates
The UAE contains seven Emirates, each with their own particular laws, societies, scenes, customs, and Sheik, which is a deferential term meaning senior or pioneer. Abu Dhabi - the biggest Emirate and capital city - is known for: a higher extent of Emirati Nationals, immense oil property, and tree-lined roads. Another distinguishing strength is the progressing advancement of Saadiyat Island which will soon contain a branch of the Louver, the Guggenheim, a Performing Arts Center, the NYU Abu Dhabi Campus, and a scope of different attractions including current and imaginative design. Abu Dhabi likewise brags the wonderful Palace Hotel, Sheik Zayed Mosque, and green Masdar City.
