    A Member of Parliament is the representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title, such as senate, and thus also have different titles for its members, such as senator. Members of parliament tend to form parliamentary groups with members of the same political party. In everyday use, the term Member of Parliament is almost always shortened to the initialism MP, and this is also common in the media.

    A ski rack is a device or equipment designed to securely hold skis on a vehicle during transportation. These racks are generally mounted on the roof or the back of the vehicle, and are equipped with safety features like locks and straps to keep the skis in place, prevent them from swaying or slipping off during travel, and protect them from theft. Ski racks come in different shapes and sizes to accommodate different types and number of skis.

    The Powhatan is a Native American tribe that was historically based in modern-day Virginia in the United States. It is also the name of the chief who lead this federation of tribes. The Powhatan Confederacy, as it was known, comprised around 30 tribes, with Chief Powhatan as its leader during the time of the Jamestown settlement by the English in 1607. The Powhatan people played a significant role in American history, most notably in their interactions with the early English settlers.

    Polyurethane is a type of polymer, or large molecule composed of repeated subunits, that is widely used in many industrial and consumer products due to its versatility and durability. It can be rigid or flexible, and is typically used in various items including foam mattresses, insulation, adhesives, sealants, paint, and varnishes. The material is generally resistant to weather, oils, and solvents, which makes it suitable for many applications. The properties of a polyurethane can vary greatly depending on how it is produced, and can include qualities like elasticity, transparency, and resistance to abrasion, heat, and electricity.
