Min Byung-doo (Hangul: 민병두; hanja: 閔丙梪; born 10 June 1958) is a South Korean politician in the liberal Minjoo Party of Korea who has been a member of the National Assembly for Dongdaemun, Seoul, since 2012. He was formerly a party list member from 2004 to 2008. Min is a proponent of economic democratization. In early 2013 he announced plans to introduce legislation to protect fair contracts between convenience store franchisors and their franchisees. Later that year, during an industrial dispute that led to K-pop group JYJ being blacklisted from major broadcasting stations, Min introduced a motion to call JYJ to testify before the National Assembly along with the founder of their former record label S.M. Entertainment, Lee Soo-man, and the president of the Korean Federation of Pop Culture and Art Industry, Yang Yi-sik. He criticized \"large entertainment companies\" for \"using their influence to reign over broadcasting companies and singers\". In 2014, Min criticized civic groups involved in leaflet propaganda campaigns in North Korea for receiving public funding from the Prime Minister's Office. The director of the Union for North Korea Freedom, Kim Min-su, stated in response that the information was misleading, and that Min was either \"not a decent person, or incompetent\". As a student in 1981, Min was handed a 20-year prison sentence for his participation in a militant pro-democracy student organization, the National Democratic Students' League. Hwang Woo-yea, who would later become chairman of the Saenuri Party, participated in Min's trial as an associate judge. The conviction was formally quashed in 2012. Min was arrested in connection to another organization, the \"Constituent Assembly\", in 1986. He eventually graduated from Sungkyunkwan University in 1990; the university later selected him for an alumni award in 2016. Min was born in Hoengseong County, Gangwon. A Roman Catholic, he received the baptismal name Raphael. | Agent | Person | OfficeHolder |

The defendant, Philadelphia National Bank (PNB), is a commercial bank, a unique type of financial institution because \"they alone are permitted by law to accept demand deposits. This distinctive power gives commercial banking a key role in the national economy.\" In addition, commercial banks engage in the important services of \"the creation of additional money and credit, the management of the checking account system, and the furnishing of short-term business loans.\" PNB and Girard Trust Corn Exchange Bank, respectively, the second and third largest of the 42 commercial banks with head offices in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, proposed to merge. PNB had assets of over $1 billion, making it the twenty-first largest bank in the Nation. Girard had assets of about $750 million. If the two banks merged, the resulting bank would be the largest in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, with 36% of the area banks' total assets (nearly $2 billion), 36% of deposits, and 34% of net loans. It and the second largest bank (First Pennsylvania Bank and Trust Company, now the largest) would have between them 59% of the total assets, 58% of deposits, and 58% of the net loans. After such a merger, the four largest banks in the area would have 78% of total assets, 77% of deposits, and 78% of net loans. Both merging banks owed their present size to previous mergers. A trend toward concentration was noticeable in the Philadelphia area generally: the number of commercial banks declined from 108 in 1947 to 42 in 1960. Since 1950, PNB acquired nine formerly independent banks and Girard six; these acquisitions accounted for 59% and 85% of the respective banks' asset growth during the period, 63% and 91% of their deposit growth, and 12% and 37% of their loan growth. During this period, the seven largest banks in the Philadelphia area increased their combined share of the area's total commercial bank resources from about 61% to about 90%. The Comptroller of Currency approved the merger, despite reports from two other banking agencies and the Attorney General that the proposed merger would have substantial anticompetitive effects in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The Comptroller explained the basis for his decision to approve the merger: Since there will remain an adequate number of alternative sources of banking service in Philadelphia, and in view of the beneficial effects of this consolidation upon international and national competition it was concluded that the over-all effect upon competition would not be unfavorable. . . . [Also, the consolidated bank] would be far better able to serve the convenience and needs of its community by being of material assistance to its city and state in their efforts to attract new industry and to retain existing industry. The United States Justice Department's Antitrust Division then sued PNB to enjoin the merger, invoking § 1 of the Sherman Act and § 7 of the Clayton Act. The district court ruled for PNB and the government appealed to the Supreme Court. | UnitOfWork | LegalCase | SupremeCourtOfTheUnitedStatesCase |

In Greek legends, Procles (Greek: Προκλῆς, \"the renowned\") was one of the Heracleidae, a great-great-great-grandson of Heracles, and a son of Aristodemus and Argia. His twin was Eurysthenes. Together they received the land of Lacedaemon after Cresphontes, Temenus and Aristodemus defeated Tisamenus, the last Achaean king of the Peloponnesus. Procles married Anaxandra, daughter of Thersander, King of Kleonoe, sister of his sister-in-law Lathria, and was the father of Soos and the grandfather of Eurypon, founder of the Eurypontid dynasty of the Kings of Sparta. The title of archēgetēs, \"founding magistrate,\" was explicitly denied to Eurysthenes and Procles by the later Spartan government on the grounds that they were not founders of a state, but were maintained in their offices by parties of foreigners. Instead the honor was granted to their son and grandson, for which reason the two lines were called the Agiads and the Eurypontids. | Agent | Person | Monarch |
Star Chamber was an online collectible card game (CCG) first released as just \"Star Chamber\" in 2003 by Nayantara Studios, later owned by Matrix Games and Worlds Apart Productions, and now owned by Sony Online Entertainment. The game ran on both the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms. It was free to download and play, with additional cards available for purchase. There was one base set and five expansion sets released for Star Chamber. On March 30, 2012, Sony Online Entertainment removed server support for the game, and it is no longer playable. The game could be played as single-player (in practice matches, in \"skirmish\" matches, or with any of four campaigns, each of which comprises seven separate scenarios) or with between two and four players live over the internet. Two-player games usually required half an hour to complete, while three- and four-player games average closer to an hour. One of the game’s primary distinctions was that it combined traditional CCG elements (card collecting and trading, deck building, the use of cards in-game, etc.) with a board wargame-style map and unit production based on locations on that map, in some ways similar to the classic Master of Orion series. There were 43 unique maps, with random elements incorporated into some of those maps. The titular Star Chamber is a location at which voting session between players’ citizens took place every sixth turn. Players voted for the Power Play, Alien Support, and Peacekeepers (see Voting below). | Work | Software | VideoGame |

Abdissares ruled the kingdom of Sophene after the assassination of his father, Xerxes in 212 BC. There are no known western sources for this king, only numismatic. His coins are almost similar to those of his father. His name seems to include the Aramaic prefix \"Abd\" which means slave. Aramaic was widely used in that region, and yet why would he have such a name, compared to his Armenian father Xerxes or brother Orontes IV? This may have seem as a slur by the local Aramaic people, yet it is borne on his coins. \"Ssares\" sounds like Zareh (known in Greek sources as Zariadres), and it was Zareh who overthrew Abdissares in 200 BC. These coups were the workings of king Antiochus III which also saw Zareh's son Artaxias (Artaxerxes) overthrow Orontes IV to become King of Armenia. | Agent | Person | Monarch |

The 1944 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 7, 1944. All contemporary 48 states, were part of the 1944 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 16 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the President and Vice President. New Jersey was won by the Democratic nominees, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and his running mate Senator Harry S. Truman of Missouri. Roosevelt and Truman defeated the Republican nominees, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York and his running mate Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio. Roosevelt narrowly carried New Jersey with 50.31% of the vote to Dewey's 48.95%, a margin of 1.35%. Reflecting the closeness of the statewide result, Roosevelt and Dewey virtually split the state's 21 counties: Roosevelt won 10 counties to Dewey's 11. Despite winning 1 less county, Roosevelt edged out Dewey statewide with decisive victories in some of the most heavily populated parts of the state, while keeping the results close in heavily populated counties that he lost. In North Jersey, Roosevelt maintained his dominance in heavily populated Hudson County, part of the New York City metro area where the New Deal Coalition was very strong, breaking 60% of the vote in the county for the fourth election in a row. Roosevelt also won heavily populated Middlesex County, Mercer County, and Passaic County, although Dewey won majorities in Bergen County, Union County, and Morris County. Dewey also narrowly won Essex County with a plurality. Roosevelt performed much more strongly overall in South Jersey, winning majorities in six out of seven of the southernmost counties in the state; his strongest county win there was urban Camden County, where he broke 60% of the vote. In South Jersey, Dewey won only rural Cape May County. Besides his victories in North Jersey, Dewey also won Monmouth County and Ocean County in the central portion of the state. New Jersey in this era was usually a swing state with a Republican lean, and its results in 1944 adhered to that pattern. Roosevelt had carried the state in the midst of all three of his preceding nationwide victories, but with the exception of his 1936 landslide, always by very narrow margins. As Roosevelt decisively won re-election to an unprecedented fourth term, carrying 36 out of 48 states, New Jersey was his second narrowest victory in the nation. FDR's close 1.35% margin of victory in New Jersey made the state about 6% more Republican than the national average. | Event | SocietalEvent | Election |

The mountain was named in 1890 by U.S. Geological Survey geologist Israel Russell after Gardiner Greene Hubbard, first president of the National Geographic Society, which had co-sponsored Russell's expedition. Hubbard is the highest point of a large massif with three named summits; the other two are Mount Alverstone and Mount Kennedy. Alverstone and Hubbard form a corner of the Canada–United States border: the border extends roughly south from these peaks toward the Alaska panhandle, and roughly west toward Mount Saint Elias, approximately 100 km (62 mi) away. The Hubbard Glacier separates Mount Hubbard from Mount Vancouver to the west, while the Lowell Glacier lies to the east of the peak. Mount Hubbard is the eighth-highest peak in the United States, and the twelfth-highest peak in Canada. It is also notable for its large rise above local terrain. For example, its west face rises 7,500 feet (2,300 meters) above the Alverstone Glacier in less than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers), and the peak rises 11,000 feet (3,350 m) above the Hubbard Glacier to the southwest in only 7 mi (11.3 km). Mount Hubbard is just over 20 mi (32 km) from tidewater at Disenchantment Bay. However, despite its precipitous drops to the west, the eastern side provides a non-technical (though long) route to the summit. | Place | NaturalPlace | Mountain |

The High Value engine family from General Motors is a group of Cam in Block or \"Overhead valve\" V6 engines. They use the same 60° vee bank as the 60° V6 family they are based on, but the new 99 mm (3.9 in) bore required offsetting the bores by 1.5 mm (0.1 in) away from the engine centerline. These engines (aside from the LX9) are the first cam in block engines to implement Variable Valve Timing, and won the 2006 Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics for this innovation. For the 2007 model year, the 3900 engine features optional displacement on demand or \"Active Fuel Management\" which deactivates a bank of cylinders under light load to increase highway fuel economy. It was rumored GM would produce a 3-valve design, but that never came to be. These engines were produced primarily at the GM factory in Tonawanda, New York and at the Ramos Arizpe engine plant in Mexico. The assembly line for this engine was manufactured by Hirata Corporation at their powertrain facility in Kumamoto, Japan. As of the 2012 model year, GM no longer sells these motors in any US market vehicles. | Device | Engine | AutomobileEngine |

The 107th Infantry Regiment (107e régiment d'infanterie; shortened to 107e RI or \"107th RI\") was a French Army infantry regiment that dates back to 1469, where it was originally created as the Francs Archers Angoumois. In 1755, the Augoumois battalion was stationed in Louisiana on a harbor defense mission. The regiment was later stationed—similarly—on a mission in 1772 led by the Pondicherry regiment in India. The 107th was one of many regiments created under the Ancient Regime to serve on board naval ships and in the colonies, and subsequently, all such regiments were—in 1791—given a number in the line-infantry order of battle. This means that the 107th could be considered as \"ancestors\" of the naval infantry regiments. They are: \n* \"La Marine\" from \"\"Compagnies ordinaires de la mer\"\" (lit. \"ordinary companies of the sea\"), created in 1622 and became 11th Infantry Regiment \n* \"Royal-Vaisseaux\" which dates from 1638 and became the 43rd Infantry Regiment \n* \"La Couronne\" created in 1643 and became 45th Infantry Regiment \n* \"Royal-Marine\" created in 1669 and became the 60th Infantry Regiment \n* \"Amirauté\" created in 1669 \n* \"Cap\" created in 1766 and became 106th Infantry Regiment \n* \"Pondichéry\" created in 1772; white uniform with orange facings.

Wyatt M. Webb (died October 8, 2003) was a college basketball head coach for the Akron Zips men's basketball team from 1969 to 1975. When Webb was named head coach of Akron in 1968, it was unheard of for a young man in his mid-20's (Webb was 26) to be in such a position. After all, Webb had just finished his playing career at Akron just a few years back. But Webb proved the doubters wrong, compiling a 126-60 record in seven seasons and taking the Zips to three NCAA Division II tournaments, including a title game appearance in 1971-72. Even though he resigned after 1975, he stayed at the school as a teacher and chairperson. Webb died in 2003 at age 62. | Agent | Coach | CollegeCoach |

Mark Thomas (born 23 July 1983 in Stockport) is an English professional ice hockey player, currently playing for the Manchester Phoenix in the English Premier Ice Hockey League. Thomas began his professional career in 2002, playing for the Haringey Racers in the ENIL. Thomas took up ice hockey much later than most players but was able to thrive due to his natural talent and physical abilities. Thomas began playing ice hockey at Under-19 after watching his local team, the now-defunct Manchester Storm, then playing in the ISL. Thomas would start with a strong showing in his first season, when he played in 22 games and totalled 63 penalty minutes as well as helping out the offence with seven points. For the start of the 2003–04 season Thomas was a Telford Wildfoxes player, but played just once before being snapped up by then Manchester Phoenix head coach, Rick Brebant to play for the Phoenix in their debut season. The Phoenix had been established following the collapse of the Storm, the team that had inspired Thomas to start to play ice hockey in the first place. Thomas was an important part of the Phoenix's first season and played in 52 EIHL regular season games and featured six times in the play-offs. The Phoenix organisation was suspended in 2004 due to off ice problems and so Thomas was forced into moving. In the summer of 2004 he chose to sign for the London Racers, where he stayed for a season-and-a-half. It was financial problems that again forced Thomas to move, with the Racers franchise folding mid-way through the 2005–06 season. This mid-season move brought Thomas to sign for the Sheffield Steelers, arch-rivals of the Phoenix whom Thomas had played for just two years earlier. Thomas established himself as a key part of the Steelers defence, and was a rare British star player surrounded by foreign imports. It was that consistency that saw \"Tomo\" remain a fan favourite with the Steelers organisation for 10 seasons, and in 2015, he was rewarded with a testimonial season. Various events were held in his testimonial year, including a testimonial match which saw many former Steelers, including Scott Basiuk and Steve Munn, return to Sheffield. On 6 May 2015, it was announced that Mark Thomas was returning to his home town team, the EPL's Manchester Phoenix, who he had previously played for in their inaugural season in 2003–04. | Agent | WinterSportPlayer | IceHockeyPlayer |

The 'Braeburn' is a cultivar of apple that is firm to the touch with a red/orange vertical streaky appearance on a yellow/green background. Its color intensity varies with different growing conditions. It was discovered as a chance seedling in 1952 by the farmer O. Moran from Waiwhero in the Moutere Hills near Motueka, New Zealand. It was then cultivated by the Williams Brothers nursery as a potential export variety. It is thought to be a cross between Granny Smith and Lady Hamilton. The apple itself is named after Braeburn Orchard where it was first commercially grown. Braeburn apples have a combination of sweet and tart flavour. They are available October through April in the northern hemisphere and are medium to large in size. They are a popular fruit for growers because of their ability to store well when chilled. Braeburn apples are useful in cooking in that they hold their shape and do not release a great deal of liquid making them ideal for tarts. According to the US Apple Association website it is one of the fifteen most popular apple cultivars in the United States. | Species | Plant | CultivatedVariety |

The green oriole or Australasian yellow oriole, (Oriolus flavocinctus) is an inconspicuous inhabitant of lush tropical vegetation throughout New Guinea and northern Australia, including Cape York Peninsula, the Top End and the Kimberley. Green orioles forage slowly and methodically through the mid and upper strata of dense forests, taking fruit in the main. Typically alone or in pairs, they sometimes form small flocks in the non-breeding season. They are often difficult to locate, as their yellow-green plumage blends with the foliage and only their deep bubbling musical calls can be heard. They are nevertheless common in suitable habitat: rainforests, mangroves, thickets along watercourses, swamps, and lush gardens. Breeding takes place during the wet season (October to March). A neat, deep cup is constructed from strips of bark and vines, lined with rootlets, and slung between leafy branches, usually 5 to 15 metres up. They typically lay 2 eggs. | Species | Animal | Bird |

4660 Nereus (/ˈnɪəriəs/ NEER-ee-əs; Greek: Νηρέας, provisional designation 1982 DB) is a small (about 0.33 kilometres (0.21 mi)) asteroid. It was discovered by Eleanor F. Helin on February 28, 1982, approximately 1 month after a near pass by the Earth. Nereus is potentially a very important asteroid. It is an Apollo and Mars-crosser, with an orbit that frequently comes very close to Earth, and because of this it is exceptionally accessible to spacecraft. Indeed, because of its small size and close orbit, its delta-V for rendezvous of ~5 km/s is smaller than the Moon's, which is about 6.3 km/s. Nereus makes seven approaches to Earth of less than 5 million km between 1900 and 2100. The closest will be in February 2060, at 1.2 million km. The next close approach is in December 2021, when it will be 3.9 million km away. Its orbital period of 1.82 yr also puts it somewhat near a 2:1 orbital resonance with Earth, which means that an approximately 4-year mission could depart for and return from the asteroid on relatively near passes to the Earth.

The 1994–95 season was the 96th season of competitive league football in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. They played the season in the second tier of the English football system, the Football League First Division. This was the first full season since the completion of the redevelopment of their Molineux Stadium had been completed, and funding from owner Sir Jack Hayward were now fully focused on improving the team. Manager Graham Taylor spent close to £5 million during the season in an attempt to return the club to the top flight. Despite suffering extensive injuries to many players, the team finished the season in fourth place – their highest position in the football pyramid since 1983–84 – and so qualified for the play-offs. In the play-off semi-finals they were defeated by the eventual promoted side Bolton Wanderers 2–3 on aggregate. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | SoccerClubSeason |

The Perry Lumber Company was an early 20th-century company which owned timberland in Perry County, Pennsylvania. The company was organized by Harrisburg businessmen about 1900. By December 1901, they had acquired eleven tracts of forested land near the border with Franklin County. They planned to produce various types of sawn lumber products, as well as extract wood for a tannery in Newport. The owners of the lumber company originally hoped to have the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad converted to standard gauge to facilitate shipment, but they were unable to come to terms with the N&SV's owner, David Gring. As a result, when Perry Lumber began constructing a railroad into their timberlands, they built it to the 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge of the N&SV. The Perry Lumber Railroad used part of a roadbed originally cleared and graded by the Path Valley Railroad. Beginning at New Germantown, where it connected with the N&SV, it followed the Path Valley grade to Bryner's farm. There it turned between Trostle and Skinner Ridges and climbed up behind and around Trostle Ridge, along what is now Bowman Trail. It then made another sharp turn and dropped down between Rising Mountain and Buck Ridge on a 5.5% grade, now the Perry Lumber Road. At the base of the descent, a branch ran southwest about 1 mile (1.6 km) down Fowler Hollow Run along the present Perry Lumber Road. The main line turned and ran up Fowler Hollow Run to Shultz Run, where a company sawmill was located. It continued up the run and climbed between Amberson Ridge and Shultz Ridge alongside the present Couch Road. Running southwest along the south side of Amberson Ridge, it ended at Couch Camp, near Shaeffer Run. The entire railroad was about 12 miles (19 km) in length. The company owned one Class B 25-ton Climax locomotive, Alfarata, which was housed in a crude enginehouse at New Germantown. The N&SV shops built thirty lumber cars for the lumber company. Portable sawmills were moved along the right-of-way as necessary to saw the timber. The principal trees logged by the company were white pine, white oak, chestnut, and hemlock. While lumber was the principal product of the company, chestnut, hemlock, and oak bark were also shipped as extract wood to Newport. The timber was logged out in 1905, and the company closed up, selling the lumber cars to the N&SV and the engine to the East Waterford Lumber Company. In April 1907, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania bought its land, establishing the McClure Division of Tuscarora State Forest. Part of the grade also lies within Fowlers Hollow State Park. | Agent | Organisation | PublicTransitSystem |
