Polybius for Kids - an ancient historian Polybius Polybius (po-LIB-ee-us) was a rich Greek man, who was born in the Greek city of Athens, about 200 BC . When the Romans conquered his city-state , they demanded some hostages from that city. The Romans took these hostages to Rome, and they said if the city-state tried to get free of Roman rule, or did anything the Romans didn't like, then the Romans would kill the hostages. Polybius volunteered to be one of these hostages, and so he ended up spending the rest of his life living in Rome . While he was there, he spent his time writing a history of Rome up to that point. Polybius wrote in Greek , because he was Greek, and also because he wanted to help Greek people understand who these Romans were that had conquered them. Today, Polybius is one of our best sources (the other one is Livy ) for the history of the early Roman Republic and the Punic Wars . Most of what we know about this time comes from either Polybius or Livy. Livy The Punic Wars Main Roman literature page Main Ancient Rome page ... Save to del.icio.us

Sources: Colts kicker Vanderjagt attempts life By CLIFF BRUNT, Associated Press Writer January 17, 2006 Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt attempted to take his own life yesterday at his Indianapolis home. Carmel 911 received a frantic call from Janalyn Vanderjagt at about 4:35 Monday evening. Apparently, Janalyn had just arrived home along with the couples son Jay Michael. Janalyn found her husband Mike attempting to hang himself in the couples bedroom. Janalyn tried to persuade Mike to rethink what he was about to do. Mike repeatedly attempted to kick the chair out from under him but was unsuccessful. Indianapolis Colts place-kicker Mike Vanderjagt did not attempt to commit suicide the day after missing a game-tying field goal in an NFL Divisional Playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Someone fabricated a spoof article (as evidenced by such jokes as "Mike repeatedly attempted to kick the chair out from under him but was unsuccessful") and mocked it up to look like a genuine Associated Press article distributed on-line via Yahoo!

The person writing the message intended for his audience to be able to read it. The Greeks were one of the first civilizations to use ciphers to communicate in secrecy. A Greek scholar named Polybius proposed a system for enciphering a message in which a cryptographer represented each letter with a pair of numbers ranging from one to five using a 5-by-5 square (the letters I and J shared a square). The Polybius Square (sometimes called the checkerboard) looks like this: A B C D E F G H I/J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A cryptographer would write the letter "B" as "12". The letter O is "34". To encipher the phrase "How Stuff Works," the cryptographer would write "233452 4344452121 5234422543." Because he replaces each letter with two numbers, it's difficult for someone unfamiliar with the code to determine what this message means. The cryptographer could make it even more difficult by mixing up the order of the letters instead of writing them out alphabetically.

Polybios Uit Wikipedia, de vrije encyclopedie Ga naar: navigatie zoeken Polybios Grieks : Πολύβιος, circa 200 - circa 120 v.Chr.), of verlatiniseerd Polybius , was een Grieks historicus die militaire en politieke functies heeft bekleed. Inhoud Leven Werk Literatuur Online ... bewerk Leven Polybius werd geboren in Megalopolis (op de Peloponnesos ), uit een vooraanstaande familie. Net als zijn vader bekleedde hij in zijn vaderstad belangrijke militaire en politieke functies. Hoewel hij voorstander was van een neutraliteitspolitiek ten overstaan van de supermacht-in-wording Rome , behoorde hij toch tot de 1000 Griekse gijzelaars die na de Romeinse overwinning bij Pydna naar Rome werden overgebracht. Daar raakte Polybius nauw bevriend met Publius Cornelius Scipio Aemilianus Africanus minor , die hij later als adviseur volgde naar Spanje en Noord-Africa, en in wiens gezelschap hij de verwoesting van Carthago en Korinthe meemaakte. Nadien trad hij op als pleitbezorger voor verscheidene met ondergang bedreigde steden in de Peloponnesos; aan zijn bemiddeling danken zij hun behoud. Polybius keerde uiteindelijk naar zijn vaderstad terug en speelde er opnieuw een politieke rol. Op enkele reizen na wijdde hij de laatste jaren van zijn leven aan de voltooiing van zijn historisch werk. Hij overleed op 82-jarige leeftijd aan de gevolgen van een zware val van zijn paard, hetgeen bewijst dat hij tot op die gezegende leeftijd actief is gebleven.

For instance h=23 and r=42. The idea was that a message may be transmitted by holding different combinations of torches in each hand. The chequerboard has other important characteristics, namely the reduction in the number of different characters, the conversion to numbers and the reduction of a symbol into two parts which are separately manipulable. As such chequerboards form the basis for many more ciphers. Varients of this idea are used to convert a single character into units which may be manipulated seperately, this can lead to some very strong ciphers, for instance the
