paragraph: Andre Williams (American football)

paragraph: Andre Rishard Williams (born August 28, 1992) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Boston College, where he was a finalist for the 2013 Heisman Trophy, and won the 2013 Doak Walker Award as the nation's best running back. During the 2013 season, Williams became only the 16th player in NCAA history to rush for over 2,000 yards and he finished his college career ranked 5th all-time for most yards rushed in a single season with 2,177 yards.

paragraph: Section::::Early years.

paragraph: Born in Poughkeepsie to Jamaican immigrants Lancelene and Ervin, Williams spent his first year back in his family's island nation before returning to live in Central New Jersey with his parents, sister, and two brothers. His family also lived in Atlanta, Georgia and Allentown, Pennsylvania.

paragraph: "By the eighth grade, " Williams would later explain, "I decided I was going to play Division I football." After transferring from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia, he attended Parkland High School in Allentown. As a senior, he had 1,913 rushing yards on 128 carries and 33 touchdowns for the football team. He earned All-State Class AAAA first-team honors as a senior running back, and was selected as "The Morning Call" Player of the Year. He led the Trojans to a 10-3 record in 2009.

paragraph: In addition to football, he was also a standout athlete for Parkland High School's track and field team. At the 2010 PA 3A state championships, he finished third in the 100 meters, with a time of 10.76 seconds, and second in the 200 meters with a time of 22.01 seconds. He was also timed at 14.61 seconds in the 110 meter hurdles in 2009.

paragraph: Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, he was rated as the 44th best running back prospect in the nation. He committed to Boston College over offers from Temple, Akron and Vanderbilt.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: While attending Boston College, Williams played for the its Eagles football team from 2010 to 2013. He graduated early with a degree in applied psychology and human development.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Freshman season.

paragraph: Williams's first three years at Boston College were relatively uneventful. Playing as a true freshman in 2010, Williams showed his potential while sharing the backfield with Montel Harris and Sterlin Phifer. He played in all 13 games, rushing for 461 yards on 95 carries with two touchdowns. In the final regular season game of the year, playing at Syracuse, he set the school record for rushing attempts in a game, running 42 times as the Eagles beat the Orange 16-7.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Sophomore season.

paragraph: As a sophomore in 2011, Williams continued to improve, but played less time with sharing the backfield with Rolandon Finch, Tahj Kimble, and Montel Harris, starting seven of 10 games and rushing for 517 yards on 124 carries with four touchdowns.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Junior season.

paragraph: As a junior in 2012, he continued to be a reliable option, although for a pass-heavy offense, starting eight of nine games, rushing for 584 yards on 130 carries and four touchdowns. His efforts were mostly in vain though, as the Eagles continued to progressively get worse, winning 7 games in 2010, 4 in 2011, and only 2 in 2012. His three years of experience, however would pave the way for his breakout senior year and a turnaround for the Eagles team.

paragraph: With a change in coaching during the offseason, Steve Addazio brought in new coordinators and a new style of offense focused heavily on the run. Williams started off the year as a powerful weapon, running for 114 and 204 yards respectively in wins over Villanova and Wake Forest, and scoring once in each game. He had his worst performance of the season against a strong USC defense, managing only 38 yards. However, he bounced back against #8 ranked Florida State and ran for 149 yards as the Eagles nearly upset the eventual National Champions.

paragraph: The next week during the Homecoming game against Army he exploded offensively, scoring 5 touchdowns and rushing for 263 yards, only 1 yard shy of the school's single game rushing record. He momentarily tied the record, but unfortunately lost a yard on his last rushing attempt of the game, bringing his total back down. After rushing for only 70 yards at Clemson, he gave two solid performances against UNC and Virginia Tech, rushing for 172 and 166 yards, respectively, and scoring three times. The next week at New Mexico State, Williams managed to break the single game record that he came so close to during the Army game, running for 295 yards and two scores. The win was the first road win for Boston College since 2011.

paragraph: On the following week, playing on senior day, Boston College's final home game of the season against NC State, Williams broke his own record and ran for 339 yards on 42 carries, scoring twice. The performance also surpassed the ACC record, previously set at 329 yards by John Leach of Wake Forest in 1993. During the game, he also broke the school's single season record for rushing yards, finishing the day with 1,810 yards. The win made BC bowl eligible for the first time since 2010, and tripled the previous year's win total, prompting the students and fans to rush the field and celebrate with the team following the win. Williams's performance was recognized by media across the country, as he was named the Walter Camp National player of the week, as well as ACC offensive back of the week. His successes and statistics as the league's leading rusher made him the front-runner for the Doak Walker Award as the nation's best running back.

paragraph: After the success against NC State at home, the Eagles took on Maryland for the first of their final two road games of the season. Williams had another big day, running for 263 yards and two scores, passing 2,000 yards and becoming only the 16th player in NCAA history to accomplish this feat. With this achievement, Williams became a part of the Heisman conversation.

paragraph: The final game of the regular season was at 5–6 Syracuse. Unfortunately, Williams re-aggravated a right shoulder injury that he had been dealing with since the UNC game. He left the game early in the 3rd quarter and did not return, having rushed for only 29 yards for the day. Despite the disappointing end to the game, those 29 yards put Williams over 2,100 yards for the season and placed him at 9th all time in the FBS single-season rushing list.

paragraph: The Eagles final game of the season was in the 2013 Independence Bowl against the Arizona Wildcats. The game featured a matchup between the nation's two best running backs in Williams and Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey, who was a consensus All-American in 2012 as well as a finalist for the 2013 Doak Walker award, which Williams won. The game was a blowout win for Arizona, as they cruised to a 42–19 victory. Williams ran for 75 yards in his final contest as a college back, finishing with 2,177 yards on the season, 5th most all-time in the NCAA.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:Senior season.:Postseason awards.

paragraph: Williams was one of six finalists for the Heisman Trophy in 2013, and finished fourth in the voting. He was the winner of the 2013 Doak Walker Award and was named a unanimous All-American. In addition, he was a unanimous first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) selection and was also a finalist for the Walter Camp Award.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:New York Giants.

paragraph: The New York Giants drafted Williams in the fourth round with the 113th overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut in the season opener against the Detroit Lions. In the 35–14 loss, he had five carries for nine yards. On September 25, in a 45–14 victory over the Washington Redskins, he scored his first professional rushing touchdown. On December 7, against the Tennessee Titans, he had 24 carries for 131 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in the 36–7 victory. Overall, he finished his rookie season with 721 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns. His production dipped in his second season as he recorded 88 carries for 257 yards and a rushing touchdown. He was released by the team on September 3, 2016.

paragraph: Section::::Professional career.:San Diego / Los Angeles Chargers.

paragraph: On September 4, 2016, the San Diego Chargers claimed Williams off waivers. He was released on September 24, 2016 and was signed to the practice squad two days later. He was promoted to the active roster on December 27, 2016. He appeared in the regular season finale against the Kansas City Chiefs and had 18 carries for 87 rushing yards.

paragraph: On March 9, 2017, the Chargers re-signed Williams. He was waived on September 2, 2017 and was signed to the Chargers' practice squad the next day. He was promoted to the active roster on October 7, 2017. In Week 14, Williams suffered a broken wrist on the final play of the game and was ruled out for the rest of the 2017 season. He was placed on injured reserve on December 12, 2017. Overall, he finished the 2017 season with nine carries for 25 yards in eight games.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Since his college years, Williams has been writing what he calls a "philosophical memoir," which is entitled " A King, a Queen and a Conscience." He expects to complete the manuscript in 2015.

paragraph: Williams is also trying to secure a patent for a "compression shirt" type of athletic gear that could improve backfield running.

paragraph: Andre wed Carolyn Jay, who also went to Boston College, in 2014. His first child, Barron Zavier, was born in February 2016. 6 months later, Andre

paragraph: Muriel Window

paragraph: Muriel Inetta Window (February 16, 1892 – August 29, 1965) was an American actress, singer, vaudeville performer, businesswoman, and Ziegfeld Girl.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Muriel Inetta Window was born in Burlingame, Kansas. Her mother was Catherine I. "Kate" Window. She was raised in Seattle, where she studied music.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Muriel Window was a Ziegfeld Girl, known as the "Peacock Girl" or the "Little Peacock" for her showy costumes. On Broadway she appeared in "The Passing Show of 1914". She also headlined on the vaudeville stage.

paragraph: During World War I Muriel Window performed in London and Paris, drove an ambulance, and sang at military hospitals and on a Canadian troop ship. She was honored by the Canadian government for her wartime service. Between the wars she toured in Australia with Harry Lauder, and returned to Broadway. She also earned a pilot's license. "I believe I was the first woman in Iowa to fly her own plane," she told an interviewer in 1931. She claimed to have introduced Marion Davies to William Randolph Hearst. During World War II Muriel Window Turnley volunteered to return to uniform in the war effort.

paragraph: Muriel Window Turnley owned the Peacock Lounge in Arnolds Park, Iowa. Jimmy Dorsey appeared there with his band, and wrote a song named "Muriel" for the proprietor. In Florida after 1954, she owned and entertained at another establishment, Muriel's Exotic Jade House, a seasonal tropical-themed restaurant north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. She was known to host visits from old vaudeville colleagues at the Jade House.

paragraph: Muriel Window married three times. Her first husband was fellow performer Robert Emmett Keane; they married in about 1916 and divorced in about 1920. Her second husband was wealthy Arthur S. Hanford Jr. They married in May 1920. They separated in 1928, but his murder trial in 1930 put off divorce proceedings until 1932. Her third husband was businessman Howard Chandler Turnley; they married in Mexico in 1934 and in Nebraska in 1935. She was stepmother to Howard's children, Howard Jr. and Alice, who lived with the Turnleys in Iowa. Howard Turnley died in 1946.

paragraph: Sir Baynham Throckmorton, 2nd Baronet

paragraph: Sir Baynham Throckmorton, 2nd Baronet (1606 – 28 May 1664), of Clearwell, Gloucestershire, supported the Royalist cause during the English Civil War and was a Member of Parliament for Gloucestershire from 1661 until his death on 28 May 1664.

paragraph: Section::::Origins.

paragraph: Throckmorton was born about 1606 to Sir William Throckmorton, 1st Baronet (died 1628) and Cicely Baynham, daughter of Thomas Baynham (died 1611) of Clearwell, Gloucestershire by Mary Winter, daughter of Sir William Winter of Lydney.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: Throckmorton received an education in law at the Inner Temple which he left in 1623. On the death of his father on 18 July 1628, he succeeded to the Throckmorton Baronetcy, aged 22.

paragraph: Throckmorton was a Justice of the Peace in Gloucestershire from 1634 to 1645. He served as Chief Forester in the Forest of Dean from 1634 to 1645. This last office he held probably as a result of the location of his manor of Clearwell within the forest, which manor had previously been held by his maternal ancestor Sir Thomas Baynham (died 1500) who had been constable of St Briavel's Castle, the official residence of the forester. In 1635 with three partners he took an active part in the iron industry in the Forest of Dean after acquiring a lease in the forest from the Crown. However the venture did not prosper and two years later he was obliged to place his estates in the hands of trustees to settle his debts.

paragraph: From 1642 to 1643 Throckmorton was Sheriff of Gloucestershire and at the start of the Civil War was appointed a Commissioner of Array for King Charles I. He was an active Cavalier between 1642 and 1645, holding the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel of Horse in the cavalry. He was captured by parliamentary forces and surrendered at Gloucester in December 1645. His lands were sequestrated by Parliament because they found him to be a royalist delinquent. He did not pay the fine imposed on him by the Parliamentary Committee for Compounding with Delinquents, with the result that his estate was sold to Thomas Gookin. However it is likely that this was a collusive purchase to circumvent the Parliamentary fine.

paragraph: In 1659 like many former active Cavaliers Throckmorton was held in preventative custody as a precaution against a Royalist and Presbyterian revolt. Parliamentary forces were successful in preventing a country-wide uprising and only the county of Cheshire partook in Booth's rebellion led by Sir George Booth. Sir Baynham was released on £2,000 bail.

paragraph: In July 1660, following the Restoration, Throckmorton was appointed an oyer and terminer on the Oxford circuit. He won a seat as one of the two MP's for Gloucestershire in the Cavalier Parliament, although his election was not confirmed until 19 April 1662, due to his having been listed as a friend by Philip Wharton, 4th Baron Wharton, who was now highly distrusted by the ruling party having been a Parliamentarian during the Civil War, a Puritan and a favourite of Oliver Cromwell. Throckmorton was active from the start and was appointed to 134 committees.

paragraph: Section::::Death.

paragraph: Throckmorton died on 28 May 1664 and was buried the next day at St Margaret's, Westminster. He had probably intended to be buried with his wife in The Gaunts, Bristol, but as Barker speculated "the fates disposed otherwise". A monumental inscription in his memory exists in the parish church of Newland, Forest of Dean, in which parish is situated Clearwell. He was succeeded by his son and heir Sir Baynham Throckmorton, 3rd Baronet.

paragraph: Section::::Marriage and progeny.

paragraph: Throckmorton married Margaret Hopton, daughter of Robert Hopton, of Witham, Somerset by Jane Kemeys, daughter of Rowland Kemeys about 1628. She was a co-heiress, in her issue, of her brother Ralph Hopton, 1st Baron Hopton of Stratton. By her he had two sons Sir Baynham Throckmorton, 3rd Baronet(c. 1628-c. 1681) and Major Thomas Throckmorton who was executed for mutiny in Jamaica in 1656. She died in childbirth aged 25 on 18 August 1635, which circumstance is possibly alluded to in the holding by her effigy of an infant dressed in swaddling clothes. Some sources suggest Throckmorton was married three times.

paragraph: Section::::Monument in The Gaunt's Chapel.

paragraph: On the death in 1635 of his wife Margaret Hopton aged 25, Throckmorton erected a very costly monument in a variety of coloured marbles to her memory in The Gaunt's Chapel, Bristol. The Gaunt's was a charitable foundation established in 1220 by Maurice de Gaunt (died 1230), who was a member of the Berkeley family of Berkeley Castle. The Berkeleys maintained close links with the foundation even after Dissolution of the Monasteries (16th century) and it appears that the Throckmorton monument was placed here on account of Sir Baynham's descent from his grandmother Elizabeth Berkleley, wife of Sir Thomas Throckmorton, the daughter of Sir Richard Berkeley (died 1604) of Stoke Gifford, Gloucestershire, whose monument is also in The Gaunt's Chapel. The monument is unusual in that it features the still living Sir Baynham, who would survive a further 29 years. He is shown in front of his wife, reclining and dressed in armour with long flowing hair. Over his shoulders he wears a wide lace collar, with knee-plates and wide-toed boots. His wife reclines behind him, half-raised and leaning on her right elbow, looking out towards the viewer. She is richly dressed and with one hand grasps that of her husband whilst with the other she holds their infant son, who is according to Barker "quaintly dressed". The monument contains the following inscription, much mutilated and worn, on two small rectangular black marble panels beneath the ceiling of the canopy:

paragraph: "Dedicated to the never dying memory of the Lady Margaret Throckmorton, the late wife of Sir Baynham Throckmorton, of Clowerwall, in the County of Glouc., Baronet, and youngest daughter of Mr. Robert Hopton, of that ancient and worthie family of the Hoptons of Witham, in the County of Somerset, Esquire, who lifted up her soule to God upon the 18th day of August in the year of our Lord 1635 and of her age above 25".

paragraph: The following lines of verse are contained within an oval tablet of black marble above the effigies:

paragraph: "A precious Femme, a Margarite, was lentbr

paragraph: To crowne Throckmorton with a rich contentbr

paragraph: Contented he his Margarite did setbr

paragraph: In's faithfull breast his choisest cabanetbr

paragraph: She wished no better till her lustre drewbr

paragraph: The King of Heaven to like her gracious huebr

paragraph: Who deeming it unfit a subject shouldbr

paragraph: Longer enjoy a femme of that rich mouldbr

paragraph: Tooke back his loane and fixing her abovebr

paragraph: Left to Throckmorton this sole pledge of lovebr

paragraph: "Mors rapax, urna capax, sed spes tenax"."br

paragraph: On the floor in front of the monument is a stone slab incised with the first part of the above inscription.

paragraph: Vologases I of Parthia

paragraph: Vologases I of Parthia () sometimes called Vologaeses or Vologeses or following Parthian usage, Walagash (Parthian: 𐭅𐭋𐭂𐭔 "Walaγš" , "Balāsh") was king of the Parthian Empire from about 51 until his death in 78.

paragraph: Section::::Family and ascension.

paragraph: Vologases I was a Prince of Iranian and Greek ancestry. He was one of the sons born to Vonones II from a Greek concubine, succeeding his father in 51. When he ascended the Parthian throne, he appointed his brother Pacorus II as king of Atropatene.

paragraph: Section::::Invasion of Armenia.

paragraph: In 52, Vologases I invaded Armenia, conquering Artaxata ("Artashat" in Armenia) and proclaiming his younger brother Tiridates I as king. This action violated the treaty that had been signed by the Emperor Augustus and the king of Parthia at that time, Phraates IV, which gave the Romans the explicit right to appoint and crown the kings of Armenia. Vologases I considered the throne of Armenia to have been once the property of his ancestors, now usurped by a foreign monarch by virtue of a crime. A winter epidemic as well as an insurrection initiated by his son Vardanes forced him to withdraw his troops from Armenia, allowing Rhadamistus to come back and punish locals as traitors; they eventually revolted and replaced him with the Parthian prince Tiridates I in early 55. Rhadamistus escaped along with his wife Zenobia who was pregnant. Unable to continue fleeing, she asked her husband to end her life rather than be captured. Rhadamistus stabbed her with a Median dagger and flung her body into the river Araxes. Zenobia was not fatally injured and was recovered by shepherds who sent her to Tiridates. Tiridates I received her kindly and treated her as a member of the monarchy. Rhadamistus himself returned to Iberia and was soon put to death by his father Parasmanes I of Iberia for having plotted against the royal power.

paragraph: Section::::War with Rome.

paragraph: Unhappy with the growing Parthian influence at their doorstep, Emperor Nero sent his general, Corbulo, with a large army to the east in order to restore the Roman client-kings. A Hasmonean named Aristobulus was given Lesser Armenia (Nicopolis and Satala) and Sohaemus of Emesa received Armenia Sophene. In the spring of 58, Corbulo entered Greater Armenia from Cappadocia and advanced towards Artaxata, while Parasmanes I of Iberia attacked from the north, and Antiochus IV of Commagene attacked from the southwest. Supported by his brother, Tiridates I sent flying columns to raid the Romans far and wide. Corbulo retaliated using the same tactics and the use of the Moschoi tribes who raided outlying regions of Armenia. Tiridates I fled from the capital, and Corbulo burned Artaxata to the ground. In the summer, Corbulo began moving towards Tigranocerta through rough terrain and passing through the Taronitida (Taron), where several of his commanders died in an ambush by the Armenian resistance; however, the city opened its doors, with the exception of one of the citadels, which was destroyed in the ensuing assault. By this time the majority of Armenians had abandoned resistance and accepted the prince favored by Rome.

paragraph: Nero gave the crown to the last royal descendant of the Kings of Cappadocia, the grandson of Glaphyra (daughter of Archelaus of Cappadocia) and Alexander of Judea (the brother of Herod Archelaus and the son of Herod the Great), who assumed the Armenian name Tigranes (his uncle was Tigranes V). His son, named Gaius Julius Alexander, married Iotapa, the daughter of Antiochus IV of Commagene and was made King of Cilicia. Nero was hailed vigorously in public for this initial victory and Corbulo was appointed governor of Syria as a reward. A guard of 1000 legionary soldiers, three auxiliary cohorts and two wings of horses were allotted to Tigranes in order to defend the country. Border districts were bestowed to Roman allies that assisted Corbulo including Polemon, Parasmanes, Aristobolus and Antiochus.

paragraph: Vologases I was infuriated by the fact that an alien now sat on the Armenian throne but hesitated to reinstate his brother as he was engaged in a conflict with the Hyrcanians who were revolting. Tigranes invaded the Kingdom of Adiabene and deposed its King Monobazes in 61, who was a vassal of Parthians.

paragraph: Vologases I considered this an act of aggression from Rome and started a campaign to restore Tiridates I to the Armenian throne. He placed under the command of "spahbed" Moneses a well-disciplined force of cataphracts along with Adiabenian auxiliaries and ordered him to expel Tigranes from Armenia. Having quelled the Hyrcanian revolt, Vologases I gathered the strength of his dominions and embarked toward Armenia. Corbulo, having been informed of the impending attack, sent two legions under the commands of Verulanus Severus and Vettius Bolanus to the assistance of Tigranes with secret directions that they should act with caution rather than vigour. He also dispatched a message to Nero, urging him to send a second commander with the explicit purpose of defending Armenia as Syria was now also in peril. Corbulo placed the remainder of the legions on the banks of the Euphrates and armed irregular troops of the nearby provinces. Since the region was deficient in water, he erected forts over the fountains and concealed the rivulets by heaping sand over them.

paragraph: Moneses marched towards Tigranocerta but failed to break the defense of the city walls as his troops were unfit for a long siege. Corbulo, although eminently successful, thought it prudent to use his good fortune with moderation. He sent a centurion by the name of Casperius to the camp of Vologases I in Nisibis located from Tigranocerta to demand that he raise the siege. Because of a recent locust storm and the scarcity of fodder for his horses, Vologases I agreed, and petitioned to be granted Armenia in order to achieve a firm peace. Vologases I demanded that both the Roman and Parthian troops evacuate Armenia, that Tigranes be dethroned, and that the position of Tiridates I be recognized. The Roman government declined to accede to these arrangements and sent Lucius Caesennius Paetus, governor of Cappadocia, to settle the question by bringing Armenia under direct Roman administration.

paragraph: Paetus was an incapable commander and suffered a humiliating defeat at the Battle of Rhandeia in 62, losing the legions of XII "Fulminata" commanded by Calvisius Sabinus and IIII "Scythica" commanded by Lucius Funisulanus Vettonianus. The command of the troops was returned to Corbulo, who, the following year, led a strong army into Melitene and beyond into Armenia, eliminating all of the regional governors he suspected were pro-Parthian. Finally in Rhandeia, Corbulo and Tiridates I met to make a peace agreement. The location of Rhandeia suited both Tiridates I and Corbulo. It appealed to Tiridates I because that is where his army had beaten the Romans and sent them away under a capitulation; on the other hand, it appealed to Corbulo because he was about to wipe out the ill repute earned before in the same location. When Tiridates I arrived at the Roman camp he took off his royal diadem and placed it on the ground near a statue of Nero, agreeing to receive it back only from Nero in Rome. Tiridates I was recognized as the vassal king of Armenia; a Roman garrison would remain in the country permanently, in Sophene while Artaxata would be reconstructed. Corbulo left his son-in-law Lucius Annius Vinicianus to accompany Tiridates I to Rome in order to attest his own fidelity to Nero.

paragraph: After Tiridates' visit in Rome, Nero summoned Vologases I to Rome several times, but when the invitations became burdensome to Vologases I, he sent back a dispatch to this effect: "It is far easier for you than for me to traverse so great a body of water. Therefore, if you will come to Asia, we can then arrange to meet each other."

paragraph: Section::::Later life and death.

paragraph: However, Vologases I was still satisfied with this result and honored the memory of Nero, though he stood in good relations with Vespasian also, to whom he offered an army of 40,000 horse archers during the Jewish Revolt. Soon afterwards the Alans, a great nomadic tribe beyond the Caucasus, invaded Atropatene and Armenia; Vologases I applied in vain for help to Vespasian, but did not achieve any decisive result. The Alans quickly withdrew with a lot of booty after plundering Armenia and Media Atropatene. Vologases I later died in 78, and was succeeded by his other son Vologases II.

paragraph: Section::::Vologases I and the Iranian Revival.

paragraph: His reign is marked by a decided reaction against Hellenism. He was influential in reverting the Hellenization by going back to Iranian customs and traditions of Achaemenid times. He replaced the Greek alphabet with the Pahlavi script, and on some coins the initials of his name appear in Pahlavi letters. He also reverted the Greek names of Iranian cities to Iranian names. According to Zoroastrian texts, Vologases I ordered the collection of the ancient Avestan texts. On some of his coins a fire temple appears for the first time, starting a tradition which continued for several hundred years to the end of the Sasanians.

paragraph: Vologases I built cities including Valashabad (also known as Valakhshkert, Vologesocerta, Valakhshgerd and Valakhshkard, literally meaning "Valakhsh built it") in the neighborhood of Ctesiphon, with the intention of drawing to this new town the inhabitants of Seleucia on the Tigris. Another town founded by him was Vologesias on a canal of the Euphrates, south of Babylon (near Al-Hirah).

paragraph: Urbanus Rhegius

paragraph: Urbanus Henricus Rhegius or Urban Rieger (May 1489, in Langenargen – 23 May 1541, in Celle) was a Protestant Reformer who was active both in Northern and Southern Germany in order to promote "Lutheran unity" in the Holy Roman Empire. He was also a popular poet. Martin Luther referred to him as the "Bishop of Lower Saxony".

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: He was born Urban Rieger, the son of Konrad Rieger, a Catholic priest, and his mistress (priests not being allowed to marry) at Langenargen on Lake Constance.

paragraph: He was educated at the Latin school in Lindau and then studied Arts at Freiburg University. He befriended Wolfgang Capito at the university. After graduating in 1510 he undertook further studies at Ingolstadt University specifically to come under the tutelage of John Eck, graduating MA in 1516. During this period he was created poet laureate by Emperor Maximilian.

paragraph: In 1519 he went to Konstanz where he befriended Johann Fabri, who encouraged him to train as a preacher, and after brief studies at Tübingen, in 1520 he became a Catholic priest in Augsburg, replacing Johannes Oecolampadius who had left to join the Reform Movement. A condition of this appointment was to gain a doctorate which he did at the University of Basel later that year. From 1521 he began to support the Reform Movement and was a clear admirer of Martin Luther. This forced him to leave his post, and he returned to Langenargen, before going to Hall in the Tyrol where he preached until 1523. Augsburg then invited him to return as preacher for the Carmelite Church of St Anne. Here he began to spread his own ideas in line with the Reform Movement. He initially avoided putting these views in print.

paragraph: In 1525 he Latinised his name to Urbanus Rhegius. It was under this name that he began publishing Protestant views. He married in this year, usually a forbidden practice as a priest, but accepted in the Protestant views.

paragraph: From 1527 he began publishing pamphlets against the Anabaptist Movement, which had begun as a rival movement to both Catholicism and Protestantism in that year. In these early years of Protestantism he proved an arbitor of the different views, particularly the different views on the Eucharist, expressed by Luther and Zwingli, and these views won the admiration of Philip of Hesse. In this capacity, in 1530 he was one of the collaborators (along with Luther and others) who created the Augsburg Confession.

paragraph: He stayed at Augsburg until 1530 then his final role was as superintendent of the Duchy of Lüneberg (under Ernst of Lüneberg), living thereafter at Celle. From 1535 he was a strong advocate of tolerating the Jews within Germany (an uncommon view at that time).

paragraph: He died in Celle on 27 May 1541.

paragraph: Eric Laithwaite

paragraph: Eric Roberts Laithwaite (14 June 1921 – 27 November 1997) was a British electrical engineer, known as the "Father of Maglev" for his development of the linear induction motor and maglev rail system.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Eric Roberts Laithwaite was born in Atherton, Lancashire, on 14 June 1921, raised in the Fylde, Lancashire and educated at Kirkham Grammar School. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1941. Through his service in World War II, he rose to the rank of Flying Officer, becoming a test engineer for autopilot technology at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Farnborough.

paragraph: On demobilization in 1946, he attended the University of Manchester to study electrical engineering. His work on the Manchester Mark I computer earned him his master's degree. His subsequent doctoral work started his interest in linear induction motors. He derived an equation for "goodness" which parametrically describes the efficiency of a motor in general terms, and showed that it tended to imply that large motors are more efficient.

paragraph: He became professor of heavy electrical engineering at Imperial College London in 1964 where he continued his successful development of the linear motor. He was involved in creating a self-stable magnetic levitation system called Magnetic river which appeared in the film "The Spy Who Loved Me" where it levitated and propelled a tray along a table to decapitate a seated dummy.

paragraph: He also worked at applying linear motors on the Tracked Hovercraft until its cancellation.

paragraph: In the 1980s, he was involved in creating a device to extract energy from sea waves (see patent GB2062114). Although the technology was successful in trials, it could not be made storm proof, so it never became a commercial success.

paragraph: Laithwaite was an able communicator who made many television appearances. Notable among these were his Royal Institution Christmas Lectures to young people in 1966 and 1974. The latter of these made much of the surprising properties of the gyroscope.

paragraph: In 1974, Laithwaite was invited by the Royal Institution to give a talk on a subject of his own choosing. He decided to lecture about gyroscopes, a subject in which he had only recently become interested. His interest had been aroused by an amateur inventor named Alex Jones, who contacted Laithwaite about a reactionless propulsion drive he (Jones) had invented.

paragraph: After seeing a demonstration of Jones's small prototype (a small wagon with a swinging pendulum which advanced intermittently along a table top), Laithwaite became convinced that "he had seen something impossible". In his lecture before the Royal Institution he claimed that gyroscopes weigh less when spinning and, to demonstrate this, he showed that he could lift a spinning gyroscope mounted on the end of a rod easily with one hand but could not do so when the gyroscope was not spinning. This was discussed in the BBC science series 'Horizon - 2015-2016: 2. Project Greenglow - The Quest for Gravity Control'.

paragraph: In his 1974 lectures, Laithwaite suggested that Newton's laws of motion could not account for the behaviour of gyroscopes and that they could be used as a means of reactionless propulsion. The members of the Royal Institution rejected his ideas and his lectures were not published. (This was the first and only time an invited lecture to the Royal Institution has not been published.) His lectures were subsequently published independently as "Engineer Through The Looking-Glass".

paragraph: Despite this rejection and the fact that Laithwaite later acknowledged that gyroscopes behave fully in accord with Newtonian mechanics, he continued to explore gyroscopic behaviour, maintaining the belief that some form of reactionless propulsion could be derived from them. Laithwaite set up Gyron Ltd with William Dawson and, in 1993, applied for a patent entitled "Propulsion System". See US5860317, for the US, UK and PCT application for patents respectively. A United States Patent, Number 5860317, was granted in 1999.

paragraph: Although Laithwaite is best known for his ideas concerning gyroscopes, he also held an idea concerning moths. He proposed that they communicate via ultra short wave electromagnetic phenomena (Inventor in the Garden of Eden, E R Laithwaite 1994 page 199). He persisted in this belief even after the pheromone which they actually use had been isolated and could even be bought "over-the-counter" — seemingly contradicting his account. However, he had argued in 1960 that there must be "two different mechanisms" for detecting pheromones: (i) The orthodox account of chemical-gradients (effective only at short-range), and (ii) some method for long-distance detection ( "100 yards") even when the wind was in an unfavourable direction — and the only credible solution then had to be electromagnetic (probably infrared). This explanation did not account for where the necessary energy might come from — a matter later taken up by P. S. Callahan, though he too suffered considerable controversy (largely due to Laithwaite's detractors overlooking his "(i)/(ii)" distinction).

paragraph: Laithwaite retired from Imperial College in 1986, but was offered no other research post until 1990, when he became Visiting Professor at the University of Sussex. He was persuaded by George Scelzo of PRT Maglev Systems in Chicago to submit a proposal to NASA for an electromagnetic launch assist track originally inspired by John C. Mankins of NASA. He died within weeks of the contract being awarded.

paragraph: The initial stage has been successfully continued by William Dawson and the contract with PRT for this development is still active. The track uses both levitation coils and linear induction motors and it can be seen in the "Magnets" episode of "Modern Marvels" on the History Channel.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.
