 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Munkacs
Of its history during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries we know very little, especially in regard to the mode of episcopal appointment, although it was probably by election until 1561, with the exception of the nomination in 1458.
In King Wladislaw II's documents a certain John is mentioned as bishop in 1491 and 1498; thence until 1551 we hear nothing more about the bishops, nor are we even sure that the see was occupied.
King Joseph I appointed Joseph Hodermarszky bishop in 1705; Francis Rákóczi II, as Lord of Munkács, filled the episcopal office independently; the Holy See, on its part, appointed an administrator, not regarding the see legally established for lack of canonical creation.

 The giant protein titin helps build muscles
Scientists at the Hamburg Outstation of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and collaborators from King's College in London have now discovered that something similar happens to a protein that is crucial in the formation of muscle tissue.
Wilmanns' lab and the team of Mathias Gautel, an EMBL alumnus and now at King's College, have thought that a molecule called titin, the largest protein made by human cells, is involved.
Other molecules enter the Z-disk from sarcomeres on both sides; it is likely, the scientists think, that some of the connections follow the example of titin and telethonin.

Prepare for battle as King Mathias and his brave Knights, Danju, Jayco, Rascus, and Santis, do battle against the evil Vladek and his minions.
A few years ago LEGO had an unexpected hit with their BIONICLE line, a hybrid action figure/building set that was backed by a rich mythology that combined elements of Maori aboriginal culture with Heavy Metal- styled sci fi.
There is a storyline behind these figures, with King Mathias leading his mean against a rogue knight, Vladek, but it's tied into a collectible card game, and figuring out those things makes my head hurt.

Since the Book of Morcia belongs to the King, Vladek was granted access to it as long as he sat upon the throne.
Too late, we discovered that Vladek himself was responsible for the King's disappearance, and that he had his own twisted reasons for wanting the Book, which somehow protects him and increases his own power.
