Dhampir
This sounds like a made-up theory. I've never heard of the word "Dhampir" in real life before. If there aren't any serious sources, this article should be deleted. --84.154.180.20 17:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep seems notable, having hits on Yahoo! and a dic. definition.  I also disagree that the article should be deleted bcause "[he has] has never heard of the word "Dhampir" in real life."  D. J. Bracey (talk) Image:St. Petersburg, Florida seal.png 17:43, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep used heavily in vampire role playing games (i.e.Vampire: The Masquerade)HoratioVitero 18:11, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that every one of this user's edits, save for one minor edit to Bible, is to VfD.
 * So it's a fictional term? The article makes "dhampir" look like a term that exists outside of role playing games.--84.154.180.20 18:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * actually, it is a folkloric term, just like it says in the text of the article. As far as making it look like a non-rpg term, check out the vampire page, makes it seem like you'll see them walking down the street some night and no one is complaining about thatHoratioVitero 18:22, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, if the vampire article does give that impression then it should be modified to make it more clear. That isn;t the impression I get from the page, but then I've been working on that page for a long time and rather dizzy from all the major changes on it recently and may not see it as it now is. DreamGuy 18:31, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Vampire looks fine to me--"Vampires are mythical or folkloric creatures..." is the lead sentence. Meelar (talk) 21:42, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Dhampir is more than an RPG term. Isn't Vampire Hunter D a dhampir?  Zoe 20:35, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeah. I think Blade (comics) is technically one, too.  -HX 04:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep - Article could use a lot of improvement, with less fiction and more real world info and sources for verifiability added, but it's an actual foklore term cited in several nonfiction books. DreamGuy 18:31, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Can you name a nonfiction book where this term is used? --84.154.192.168 18:07, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Matthew Bunson's The Vampire Encyclopedia mentions the term as being in real world Romany folklore and being practiced up until modern times. Bunson says the last reported dhampir ceremony was reportedly staged by Kosovo gypsies in 1959. DreamGuy 18:43, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. A relatively obscure but apparently genuine folkloric term that's become more widespread after being used in roleplaying games and anime. If I remember right, it was used as a title of a fantasy novel by Scott Baker about 25 years ago (as "Dhampire"), and then on a comic book series or graphic novel before "breaking out." Monicasdude 18:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'd stake my reputation on it. Alf the Impaler 19:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Ze chil-tren of ze night, zey zing Keep zo byoo-ti-vully. Tonywalton | Talk 20:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Word is mentioned in the Encyclopedia Mythica entry on vampires: . Seems real to me.  Of course, the article could always do with sources. --  Etacar11   20:13, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, very notable fictional term. Zoe 20:35, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. The section "The Harsh Reality" seems to imply that these creatures exist and have health problems. It could also do with verifiable sources. Capitalistroadster 00:10, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and cleanup. Better yet, split into two sections: one on the original folklore, another on contemporary gaming, anime and misc pop culture. A few proper sources wouldn´t kill anyone, either.

Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary

First published in 1918, Kenkyusha’s New Japanese-English Dictionary (新和英大辞典) has long been the largest and most authoritative Japanese-English dictionary. Translators, scholars, and specialists who use the Japanese language affectionately refer to this dictionary as the Green Goddess or GG because of its distinctive dark-green cover.

The fifth edition, published in 2003, is a volume with almost 3,000 pages; it contains about 480,000 entries (including 130,000 Japanese headwords, 100,000 compound words, and 250,000 example phrases and sentences), nearly all of which are accompanied by English translations. The editors in chief of the fifth edition are Toshiro Watanabe, Edmund R. Skrzypczak, and Paul Snowden.

Besides the print edition, the dictionary is also available on CD-ROM (EPWING format), online, and in electronic dictionary and iPhone versions. Electronic dictionaries that contain the fifth edition are generally flagship models. They include the Canon Wordtank G70, the Seiko SR-E10000 (the first electronic dictionary with GG) and SR-G10000, and the Casio "University Student" series (XD-D9800 in 2012) and "Professional" series (XD-D10000 in 2012). The Sharp PW-SB2, PW-SB3, PW-SB4 and PW-SB5 models also contain the full Kenkyusha dictionary. For both Casio and Sharp at least, the dictionary is also available on an SD or micro SD card that can be purchased separately for certain models.

There is also a companion English-Japanese dictionary, currently in its 6th edition, which contains 260,000 headwords.

History
In 1918, the publication of the first edition of Kenkyusha’s New Japanese–English Dictionary,, named after the editor-in-chief, , was a landmark event in the field of lexicography in Japan. Completed in under five years with the assistance and support of leading scholars in the field, and published when was still a minor academic publishing company, the Takenobu was the most authoritative Japanese–English dictionary of the time, and cemented Kenkyūsha's reputation in the field of academic publishing.

In 1931, Kenkyūsha undertook a major revision in the dictionary by expanding upon former entries and adding newer ones. The British diplomat George Sansom, who later became a renowned historian of Japan, was a major contributor and editor of this edition. Aside from the ever-evolving nature of the Japanese and English languages, competition from two other major dictionaries released in the 1920s – Takehara's Japanese–English Dictionary and Saitō's Japanese–English Dictionary, both of which were larger than the first edition of Kenkyūsha's – was probably a major driving force behind these revisions (although new editions of these dictionaries were never released, allowing Kenkyūsha's to assert and maintain its dominance among Japanese–English dictionaries). From this second edition onward, the dictionary became known as Kenkyusha’s New Japanese–English Dictionary. During World War II, reputable institutions in the United States and Great Britain, including Harvard University's Department of Far Eastern Languages, produced pirated versions of this dictionary for the war effort.

Because of the Pacific War, Kenkyūsha did not revise the dictionary for almost 20 years until 1949, when it decided to incorporate the many new borrowings from English that resulted from the American occupation of Japan. After five years of revision, Kenkyūsha published its third edition in 1954. Beginning with this edition and continuing through the 1974 fourth edition, the editors attempted to make the dictionary into a more scholarly work by citing English language expressions from English texts, particularly from literature; this, however, resulted in clumsy, artificial-sounding Japanese and English. The editors abandoned this practice for the fifth edition, which has entries that sound more natural to both native-Japanese and native-English speakers.

Features
Compared to the 1974 fourth edition, the fifth edition represents a dramatic increase in the number of definitions (from roughly 290,000 terms to 480,000 terms). Furthermore, the organization of the words has changed from an alphabetical romaji-style system (「ローマ字見出し」方式) to the kana-based system (「かな見出し」方式) that is most commonly used in Japanese dictionaries and encyclopedias. This change reflects the fact that most users of the dictionary are native speakers of Japanese, who are more comfortable with the kana-based lookup system.

Other new features are:
 * Larger numbers of katakana words and onomatopoeia words (e.g. ペラペラ perapera, ニコニコ nikoniko)
 * More colloquial slang and pop culture words (a new definition: オブラデ・オブラダ　「曲名」 Ob-LA-Di Ob-La-Da)
 * More specialized scientific and technological words (especially related to the recent Internet boom)
 * More names of famous people, places, works of art, works of literature, etc.
 * English translations that are more up-to-date and idiomatic, reflecting the greater participation of native English-speaking editors in the editorial process than for previous editions

The definitions themselves are also more expansive and detailed, as they often now include sample sentences.
 * For example, under the definition for オフ・シーズン (off-season), a katakana word borrowed from English:
 * オフ・シーズンにはそのホテルはぐっと安くなる. The off-season rates are much lower at that hotel.

Furthermore, there are also accompanying pictures and diagrams for words such as 馬 (horse) and サッカー (soccer).

At the end of the dictionary, there are some useful resources such as the entire Japanese Constitution; a chronological list of dates in Japanese history dating back to the Stone Age; a chronological list of dates in world history dating all the way back to the early civilizations that developed in Mesopotamia, the Nile valley, the Indus valley, and the Yellow River valley; charts on the proper formats of notices, envelopes, application letters, resumes, etc.; a section on email lingo and abbreviations; a section on the proper format of business cards; a section the proper format of help-wanted ads; a section on Japanese government titles; a section on American government titles; a chart on pronouncing Japanese kanji in Chinese; charts on the hierarchical organization of the Self-Defense Forces, the old Japanese military, the American military, and the English military; a chart on the names of all the countries in the world (along with currencies and measurement systems); and finally, a conversion chart between U.S. systems of measurement and the metric system.

The online version of the dictionary, available for a fee, is being updated on a monthly basis with new words and expanded entries.

Jungle Run

Jungle Run is a British children's television adventure series that aired on CITV as part of the ITV network from 10 September 1999 to 29 November 2006. It was a game show similar to shows such as Fort Boyard and The Crystal Maze. The show has had three presenters, referred to as the "Jungle Guide": Dominic Wood from 1999 to 2000, Chris Jarvis from 2001 to 2002 and Michael Underwood from 2003 to 2006. It was recorded at the disused air base, RAF Newton, near Nottingham.

Format
A team of children come upon a mythical jungle ruled by the Jungle King, where the goal is to win treasure from the Temple of the Jungle King. On their way they compete in 5 challenges (3 or 4 in celebrity editions) to win time inside the temple to better their chance of winning the top prize. In the first 2 series, bananas win them time in the final challenge. However, from series 3 onward, these are replaced with silver monkey statues, each one giving them 10 seconds in the final challenge. There was also one golden banana worth 50 bananas, later replaced with a Ruby monkey worth 20 seconds, in each episode, with the total amount of possible time standing at 3:20.

Gameplay
Challenges took place in a variety of locations. Some were swamps or waterfalls; others were obstacle courses or mazes, and some were just places out in the open. The same location could be used for multiple challenges, but each task could only be played in one place.

Usually, 100 bananas or four to five statues were available in each of the challenges. Occasionally, members of the team could be trapped by running out of time in an obstacle course or failing to complete a game involving cages; the rest of the team would then decide if they wanted to forfeit 50 bananas/one (later two) statues to release them, or leave without them and lose no time. If multiple team members are trapped in the same game, one team member can be released for free while each additional team member must be bought out to be released. In some games, Sid and Elvis (a pair of monkeys loyal to the jungle king) would try to distract contestants by throwing coconuts or other objects in their direction.

Games took approximately two to three minutes each, and included challenges such as:
 * Capturing statues while going down a zipwire.
 * Discovering bananas/statues in a maze or obstacle course; usually one member of the team would complete the course while others would provide assistance by using tools on the other side of the wall, or provision of guidance from above.
 * Collecting bananas/statues hanging above a swamp, using lilypads or a bridge.
 * Climbing up a wall and collecting bananas/statues hidden in ridges.
 * Diving underwater to get statues hidden in treasure chests.
 * Filling shrines with water, so statues would float within reach.
 * Using bamboo poles to hook baskets containing statues.
 * Finding and using a series of keys to unlock cages where contestants were imprisoned. (Statues were released by using the same keys in a machine.)
 * Remembering pairs of symbols on a board, and matching the symbols to win bananas/statues.

The Temple of the Jungle King
The final challenge involves contestants making their way through the Temple of the Jungle King, their time inside depending on the number of bananas/statues collected. Inside the temple is a series of chambers, each containing a challenge, the completion of which rewarded the team with a large monkey-shaped sacred idol that stood in each subsequent chamber. Once the challenge in each chamber is completed, the door to the next room opens. In series 1–2, teams would only win one prize based on the chamber they advanced to, but following this, teams won one prize per chamber completed. There were four challenges and one sacred idol for each completed chamber: Stone, Metal/Bronze, Silver and the Golden Monkey. In the 2003 Christmas special, these were replaced with large present sacks.

When a team has only 10/20 seconds left, a warning sound (a gong, a drum, or a chimp screaming) would be heard, signalling that they should make their way out of the temple. If some members or the entire team fail to get out in time, those people are locked in the temple and receive no prizes. In series 1–2 if anyone got trapped, even those who did get out with an idol received no prizes, but from series 3 onwards, anyone who made it out with an idol would win the prize. Anyone who took part would also receive a consolation prize, such as a t-shirt, backpack or monkey toy (depending on the series). When celebrities played their prizes are given to charity.

Challenges could involve:
 * Getting a ball in a hole by lifting up and rotating a maze.
 * Completing a jigsaw.
 * Each contestant matching their hands and feet to the correct symbols.
 * Solving an abacus puzzle.
 * Turning cogs.
 * Getting across a pit without touching the sand.
 * Spelling the solution to a riddle by standing on the right tiles.

Chris Thomas King

Chris Thomas King (born Durwood Christopher Thomas, October 14, 1962) is an American blues musician and actor based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

History
King was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. He is the son of blues musician Tabby Thomas. His early recordings were released under the name Chris Thomas. He has won awards including "Album of the Year" for both Grammy Award and Country Music Awards. King has sold more than 10 million records in the United States. He is featured playing the part of Tommy Johnson in the Coen brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?. He is also featured in Down from the Mountain and More Music from Ray soundtracks.

In June 2021, King's book “The Blues: The Authentic Narrative of My Music And Culture” was published by Chicago Review Press. The book posits that the Blues and related genres derive from the urban and urbane Creole culture of New Orleans. He further argues that the received narrative of blues’ genesis in the Mississippi Delta is both incorrect and that the narrative derives from erasure of New Orleans Creole accomplishments.

Artistic career
King is a pioneer of rap/blues fusion. He conceived the first sample-based blues concept album in the early 1990s by writing and producing the first all-rap/blues album for RCA Records titled 21st Century Blues… from da Hood.

As an entrepreneur King took control of his master recordings in the early 1990s, forming 21st Century Blues Records. He also established a publishing company, Young Blues Rebel, LLC. 21st Century Records signed the New Orleans Ninth Ward rap/blues duo the 21C-B-Boyz and the London, England-based NuBlues, to 21st Century Blues Records in 2003. King's acting career includes prominent roles in several films, including two music-related films. In the Oscar-winning film Ray he plays band leader and blues guitar player Lowell Fulson. During production he collaborated with Ray Charles in scoring the film. In O Brother, Where Art Thou?, he portrays a skilled blues guitarist who claims he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his skill on guitar. The character is based on blues musicians Tommy Johnson and Robert Johnson, both of whom have been linked to selling their soul to the devil at a rural Mississippi crossroads. King also accompanies the film's band the Soggy Bottom Boys on guitar; his rendition of Skip James's Hard Time Killing Floor Blues was recorded live during filming and included on the film's Grammy Award-winning soundtrack.

King also starred in the Wim Wenders art house film The Soul of a Man, as Blind Willie Johnson and Kill Switch as Detective Storm with Steven Seagal.

Étienne Bobillier

Étienne Bobillier (17 April 1798 – 22 March 1840) was a French mathematician.

He was born in Lons-le-Saunier, France. At the age of 19, he was accepted into the École Polytechnique and studied there for a year. However, due to a shortage of money, in 1818 he became an instructor in mathematics at the École des Arts et Métiers in Châlons-sur-Marne. In 1829, he was sent to Angers to be director of studies. The following year he served in the National Guard during the 1830 revolution. In 1832 he returned to Châlons after his post was abolished, and was promoted to professor.

In 1836 he began suffering from health problems, but continued teaching; declining to take a leave to recuperate. As a result, he died in Châlons at the relatively early age of 41.

He is noted for his work on geometry, particularly the algebraic treatment of geometric surfaces and the polar of curves. He also worked on statics and the catenary.

The crater Bobillier on the Moon is named after him.

Supplemental nursing system

A supplemental nursing system (SNS), also known as a lactation aid, is a device that consists of a container and a capillary tube. It is used to provide additional nutrients to a baby whose mother has low milk supply. During breastfeeding, the end of the tube is placed alongside the mother's nipple so that both the tube and the breast are in the infant's mouth.

The SNS container can be filled with pumped breastmilk, donor milk, or with infant formula.

The tubing is usually attached with removable tape. When the newborn infant suckles on the breast, the infant is nourished both by fluid from the capillary tube and by the mother's breastmilk from the nipple. The mother's milk supply is stimulated by the infant suckling, and in most cases the use of the SNS can be discontinued in a few days or weeks when the mother's milk supply has risen to meet the infant's needs. Mothers usually obtain SNS supplies from a lactation consultant.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Scimitar

Scimitar
[ Vote here] (46/4/0) ending 17:38 1 September 2005 (UTC) - I have been editing at Wikipedia since 5 April, 2005, and as a registered user since 5 May. During that time I have attempted to improve Wikipedia, both through improving existing articles and creating new ones. Although early on I made several mis-steps (particularly at VfD), I believe I've learned a lot, and now have a good grasp of Wikipedia policy, and have matured to the point that I would be a capable administrator. Thus, I request administrator tools. As a sidenote, I have over 3000 edits, and am on the List of non-admins with high edit counts. --Scimitar parley 17:38, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

 * In the interests of full disclosure, I am one of the editors who have been involved in the RfAr for Maoririder, which is currently here. I don't view it as a conflict; rather we're trying to help him see what he's doing wrong, and he's responded by ignoring everyone.  If you have any problems with my actions in this respect, please let me know. --Scimitar parley 18:54, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. There are a number of sysop chores that I would like to participate in. Several of the articles I've been involved with have suffered numerous vandalisms, and the rollback button would be an appreciated tool, altthough I will continue to revert manually if this fails.  Furthermore, until recently, there has been a massive backlog at Votes for Deletion; I'd like to assist in keeping it clean, and already close discussions where admin tools are not required (i.e., keep or redirect consensus votes).  It is my view that consensus varies, with 70% being the low threshhold, and I have no difficulty in instituting a ruling that goes against my personal viewpoint.  I certainly am not impartial in all areas; however, I recognize that I am but one cog in a vast enterprise, and that the decisions of the majority are to be valued over my own.  I also patrol New Pages, and it would be helpful to speedily delete pages rather than simply tagging them, especially in cases where the page is obviously a new user test.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. I'm particularly pleased with a number of articles. Among general contributions to NHL coverage, Canadian history and politics, as well as geography, a few articles stand out.  John Manley was my first major project, and I was quite pleased to overhaul it.  I rescued Okahandja from VfD, something I love to do and get to do all too rarely (perhaps because our nominators are doing it themselves).  My proudest achievement was getting Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, K.B. up to Featured Article status, since it was barely a micro-stub when I started and the man was a childhood hero of mine.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A.I've had a few tiffs in my short time here, although most were easily remedied misunderstandings. I played a bit role in the POV battles with Argyrosargyrou, and had my user page repeatedly vandalized for it.  I was quite upset, as this was my first real conflict, but now I generally remain calmer when faced with some troubles.  As I voted delete on the l0de Radio Hour article, I was stalked by a couple of anon IP's, and again, vandalized; however, all things considered, I view this as minor.  The most stressful thing, from my standpoint, is seeing strife between good Wikipedia users, of which the Schools debate is one example.  Simply because we have diverging opinions doesn't mean we shouldn't value one another's contributions and viewpoints, and I have a great deal of respect for those who clean up and expand school articles.  Although I feel most school articles don't particularly help the encyclopedia, these editors ensure that they don't hurt it through poor quality or shoddy writing either.  A wakeup call for me was when RickK left.  It made me realize that even the best editors are only human in the end, and deserve the same amount of civility and respect I would accord a flesh and blood person standing in front of me.  Thinking in this manner has helped me minimize the amount of stress I experience, and I will strive to treat other users with civility and respect, regardless of whether or not I serve Wikipedia as an administrator or an editor.
 * 4. You say you've "made several mis-steps (particularly at VfD)", but what you've answered to #3 doesn't sound like missteps (or is that what you were referring to?), so what are you referring to specifically? Keep in mind I think everyone is entitled to some mistakes and I'll likely vote support anyway, but I'd like a little more honest elaboration on what you meant. Thanks - Taxman Talk 22:28, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * A No, none of the incidents that I cited referred to my early errors. Most of my early VfD mistakes were a lack of policy understanding, and then a lack of civility.  In my first two weeks in particular, I tended to be sarcastic and not terribly civil- things I've tried to remedy since.  There weren't any huge, glaring errors, mostly just an early pattern of incivility that I hope hurt nobody's feelings.  Sorry for being vague originally.--Scimitar parley 14:08, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Emart

Emart Inc. is the largest retailer in South Korea. The retailer was founded on 12 November 1993, by Shinsegae, as the first discount retailer in South Korea. There were 160 stores across the Country as of December 2016.

Emart is South Korea's oldest and largest discount store chain, with a total sales volume exceeding US$9.4 billion in 2009.

Emart is the first South Korean retailer to open a retail store in China. In January 2011, Emart owned 27 stores in China. By February 2014, Emart owned 13 stores in China.

History
Emart opened its first store in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul, on November 12, 1993. and opened its first Emart Ilsan branch (No. 2) in Ilsan New Town on September 8, 1994. Emart was the first large retail store in South Korea. The store was constructed by Kumho Engineering & Construction at the time, and when the friction between Kumho Engineering & Construction and Emart broke out, Kumho Emart became the main body of lease.

On July 7, 1995, the third Ansan branch (closed in December 2012 ) opened. On December 1, 1995, the fourth Bupyeong branch (closed on June 28, 2018). On November 22, 1996, the fifth store opened in Jeju; on November 30, 1996, the sixth store opened in Bundang. On February 1, 1997, it became the first Korean retailer to enter China, opening its seventh Emart store in China and the first Emart store in Shanghai. On April 29, 1997, the company opened its eighth Namwon branch, its ninth Anyang branch on August 14, 1997, and its tenth Seobusan branch on August 29, 1997. On October 1, 2004, Emart opened an Internet shopping mall. In May 2006, Walmart acquired Walmart Korea, converting 16 Walmart stores into Emart stores. Walmart Korea was accepted and changed to Shinsegae Mart, and in 2008, Walmart Korea was merged entirely with Emart. For a period of time, Emart implemented a "lowest compensation system" that gave gift certificates worth 5,000 won if items were more expensive than other discount stores but ended the promotion in 2007, saying that "some advertisements are false hype".

As of September 2009, Emart has 127 and 4 distribution centers in South Korea, with 22 stores in the People's Republic of China. Emart stores in China also sell Korean products.

On May 13, 2011, Emart acquired Kim's Club Mart.

Emart opened a store in Ho Chi Minh City on December 28, 2015 and opened its second store in Sala, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City on November 3, 2022.

On April 8, 2016, the "Mart" experience center was opened in Busan, Kizania, and on July 28, 2016, it was opened in Ulaanbaatar.

It announced its withdrawal from China on May 31, 2017.

American company Good Food Holdings, Inc., parent of Bristol Farms, was acquired in 2018 by Emart for $275 million. In December 2019, Endeavour Capital announced that it would be selling the grocery chain New Seasons Market to Emart, specifically to its subsidiary, Good Food Holdings, in a sale transaction that was finalized in early 2020.

On May 16, 2018, the Gyeongsan branch and Bupyeong branch closed due to poor performance and overlapping commercial districts with the Gyeyang branch, Shizikolong Skychae was built after demolition, and the Bupyeong branch was built in Bupyeong Jewell. In addition, the company closed its Ulsan Hakseong Branch, Goyang Duck Branch, Incheon Branch, Gwangju Sangmu Branch, and Seobusan Branch and sold all of Costco Korea's shares to Costco's Washington headquarters.

In 2021, Emart24 convenience stores expanded to Malaysia to directly compete with CU, which Emart24's first Malaysian store opened in 2021.

In January 2022, Emart acquired a majority stake (80.01%) in eBay Korea, which it renamed "Gmarket Global". EBay retained a 19.99% stake in the company.

In December 2022, Emart24 launched in Singapore with the launch of the first two outlets on Christmas Holidays. During the launching event at Jurong Point outlet, chief executive Andy Choi has planned to launch 300 stores within the next five years.

Controversies
Food Safety
 * In September 2007, the Korea Food and Drug Administration announced that chlorphenapir, a pesticide component, was detected above the standard in Emart's first water powder green tea sold under its own brand.
 * On November 28, 2008, the Agricultural Quality Management Agency cracked down on Emart's Namyangju branch marking the country of origin as U.S. on the top of the meat package, but double marking as Australian was found on the barcode below.

Annalee Newitz

Annalee Newitz (born May 7, 1969) is an American journalist, editor, and author of both fiction and nonfiction. From 1999 to 2008, Newitz wrote a syndicated weekly column called Techsploitation, and from 2000 to 2004 was the culture editor of the San Francisco Bay Guardian. In 2004, Newitz became a policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. With Charlie Jane Anders, they also co-founded Other magazine, a periodical that ran from 2002 to 2007. From 2008 to 2015, Newitz was editor-in-chief of Gawker-owned media venture io9, and subsequently its direct descendant Gizmodo, Gawker's design and technology blog. They have written for the periodicals Popular Science, Film Quarterly and Wired. As of 2019, Newitz is a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times.

Early life
Newitz was born in 1969, and grew up in Irvine, California, graduating from Irvine High School, and in 1987 moved to Berkeley, California. In 1996, Newitz started doing freelance writing, and in 1998 completed a Ph.D. in English and American Studies from UC Berkeley, with a dissertation on images of monsters, psychopaths, and capitalism in twentieth century American popular culture, the content of which later appeared in book form from Duke University Press.

Around 1999, Newitz co-founded the Post-World War II American Literature and Culture Database in an attempt to chronicle modern literature and popular culture.

Career
Newitz became a full-time writer and journalist in 1999 with an invitation to write a weekly column for the Metro Silicon Valley, a column which then ran in various venues for nine years. Then they served as the culture editor at the San Francisco Bay Guardian from 2000 to 2004.

Newitz was awarded a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship for 2002 to 2003, supporting them as a research fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 2004 to 2005 Newitz was a policy analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and from 2007 to 2009 was on the board of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders, a Hugo award-winning author and commentator, co-founded Other magazine.

In 2008, Gawker media asked Newitz to start a blog about science and science fiction, dubbed io9, for which Newitz served as editor-in-chief from its founding until 2015 when it merged with Gizmodo, another Gawker media design and technology blog property; Newitz then took on the same leadership of the new venture. In November 2015, Newitz left Gawker to join Ars Technica, where Newitz has been employed as tech culture editor since December 2015. Newitz is a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times.

Newitz's first novel, Autonomous, was published in 2017. Autonomous won the Lambda Award and was nominated for the Nebula Award and Locus Award in 2018 for best novel.

Newitz's second novel, The Future of Another Timeline, published in 2019, was described on their website as: "[...] about time travel and what it would be like to meet yourself as a teenager and have a really, really intense conversation with her about how fucked up your high school friends are." The book was received with acclaim by critics,  and was a Locus Award nominee for Best Science Fiction Novel. Their 2014 non-fiction science book Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass Extinction was a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize. They also wrote Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age, published in 2021.

They have also written for publications including Wired, Popular Science, the New Yorker, the Atlantic, Slate, Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, and more. They have published short stories in Lightspeed, Shimmer, Apex, and Technology Review's Twelve Tomorrows.

In March 2018, with their partner and co-host Charlie Jane Anders, Newitz launched the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct, which "explor[es] the meaning of science fiction, and how it’s relevant to real-life science and society." The podcast won the Hugo Award for Best Fancast in 2019.

Personal life
Newitz is the child of two English teachers. Their mother, Cynthia, worked at a high school, and their father, Marty, at a community college. Since 2000, Newitz has been in a relationship with Charlie Jane Anders. The two began the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct in March 2018.

Newitz has used singular they pronouns since 2019.

John Perowne

John James Stewart Perowne (3 March 1823 – 6 November 1904) was an English Anglican bishop. Born in Burdwan, Bengal, Perowne was a member of a notable clerical family, whose origins were Huguenot.

Life
He was educated at Norwich School, and at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, becoming a fellow in 1849 and where his brother Edward was later Master. After holding a chair in King's College London, he became, in 1862, the fourth vice-principal of St Davids College, Lampeter, a college with which he was already familiar, for he had been external examiner between 1851 and 1852. The ageing Principal of the college took a back seat, and Perowne effectively 'took the reins' until his departure from Lampeter in 1872.

In 1868 he was elected Hulsean lecturer, taking as his subject Immortality or rather conditional immortality; stating "The immortality of the soul is a phantom which eludes your eager grasp."

He was elected canon of Llandaff in 1869, dean of Peterborough 1878, and in 1891 succeeded Henry Philpott as bishop of Worcester. While at Lampeter, Perowne had gained a great respect for the theology of his predecessor in the role of Vice-Principal, Rowland Williams, and when he became a bishop, he went to great lengths to avoid taking action against modernists in the church. Indeed, a work by one of his incumbents, which denied the Trinity, the Virgin Birth, the Divinity of Christ, the Atonement, and the concepts of the Resurrection of Christ and the Ascension was described by Perowne as  'an honest attempt to deal with great spiritual problems' . He resigned his see in late 1901.

In 1884 he served as president of the Midland Union of Natural History Societies.

Perowne was a respected Hebrew scholar of the traditional type and sat on the Old Testament Revision Committee. He is best remembered as the general editor of the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges. His chief works were a Commentary on the Book of Psalms (2 vols., 1864–1868) and a life of Bishop Thirlwall (1877–1878).

Descendants
Perowne married Anna Maria Raikea, daughter of Humphry William Woolrych, before moving to Wales in 1862. His son, Arthur William Thomson Perowne, became the first Bishop of Bradford and, subsequently, Bishop of Worcester. Another son was John Thomas Woolrych Perowne, a British Army officer, King's Messenger, and Gold Staff Officer.

One of his grandsons, Stewart Perowne, married Dame Freya Stark and was the more famous as Head of Education in British Palestine, archaeologist, explorer, and writer.

Stewart's brother, Leslie, was sometime Head of Music at the BBC and was responsible for bringing Albert Ketèlbey out of retirement to conduct a huge BBC Ketèlbey Concert at the Royal Albert Hall prior to World War II.

Stewart Perowne

Stewart Henry Perowne OBE, KStJ, FSA, FRSA (17 June 1901 – 10 May 1989) was a British diplomat, archaeologist, explorer and historian who wrote books on the history and antiquities of the Mediterranean. Despite his homosexuality, in 1947 he married the explorer and travel writer Freya Stark. The marriage was dissolved in 1952.

Early life
Born in Hallow, Worcestershire, into a distinguished ecclesiastical family, Stewart Perowne was the grandson of John Perowne, the Bishop of Worcester, and the son of Helena Frances (née Oldnall-Russell) (1869–1922) and Arthur William Thomson Perowne, who was the first Bishop of Bradford and subsequently also Bishop of Worcester. His older brother was Francis Edward Perowne (1898–1988). His younger brother, Leslie Arthur Perowne (1906–1997), was Head of Music at the BBC and was responsible for bringing Albert Ketèlbey out of retirement to conduct a huge BBC Ketèlbey Concert at the Royal Albert Hall prior to World War II.

Perowne was educated at Haileybury College, where he was a champion sprinter, and at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he studied Classical Archaeology and Architecture. He then studied at Harvard where he gained a graduate degree in classics. He went to Palestine in 1927 under the British Mandate, as Head of Education in the Palestine Government Education Service, teaching at the Anglican St George's School in Jerusalem. He became fluent in spoken and written Arabic. In 1930 Perowne transferred to the administrative branch of the Palestine Government, working for a time as Assistant District Commissioner for Galilee. In 1931 he was appointed an Officer of the Venerable Order of Saint John.

Diplomatic career
Perowne later served in Malta, Aden, Iraq, Barbados, Libya and Israel. He was awarded the Coronation Medal in 1937. In 1938 Perowne worked for the BBC, preparing talks and features for transmission by the overseas Arabic service. In the same year he deposited a collection of potsherds with the British Museum, most of which are of Bronze Age type and probably derive from the ancient site of Subr. In 1939 he was appointed Public Information Officer in Aden, where he developed a passion for archaeology, and where he discovered the seventh century BC sites of Imadiya and Beihan. In 1941 Perowne was appointed Public Relations Officer to the British embassy in Baghdad. In 1944 he succeeded the scholar Vyvyan Holt as oriental counsellor.

During his diplomatic postings he designed stamps for Malta (1936), the Aden Protectorate (1938), Barbados (1949), Libya (1951), and currency notes for the West Indies Federation (1949) and Libya (1951).

Marriage
Because of his career as a diplomat it was expected that Perowne should marry. As a homosexual he decided to embark on a mariage blanc, more specifically a lavender marriage, and on 7 October 1947 he married the explorer and travel writer Freya Stark at St Margaret's church in Westminster. She was his senior by eight years and had been his assistant in Yemen when he was Information Officer. Stark's biographer has argued that she may not have known of Perowne's homosexuality, and of his taste for men in uniform. "In 1947 people's sexual proclivities were still part of their private lives and … no one among Freya's friends seemed able to warn her of the pitfalls of marriage to a homosexual." Confused as to why Perowne would not sleep with her, she wrote to him, "I think you have left something lying between us, untold. Whatever it is, it will not make me think less of you or care less for you." Eventually, after skirting around the subject, he wrote to her:

"It is difficult to say what 'normal' is – my friend a counsellor of St George's Hospital always refuses to use the word and in both men and women, you have a wide and graded range from ultra-male to ultra-female with naturally most people in the middle ranges ... Now for myself, I put myself in the middle group. I have ordinary male abilities. I like male sports some of them, and I love the company of women. In fact, I find it hard to exist without it. At the same time, I am occasionally attracted by members of my own sex – generally. For some even pleasurable reason – by wearers of uniform."

Despite their similar interests the marriage could not survive and they divorced in 1952. There were no children.

Later years
In 1947 Perowne was appointed Colonial Secretary to Barbados where he was a member of the island's Legislative Council before becoming political adviser in Cyrenaica from 1950 to 1951. Here he discovered the ancient city-site of Aziris. Taking early retirement in 1951, after his divorce in 1952 he returned to Palestine, now the State of Israel, where he assisted Weston Henry Stewart, the Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem in designing and organising model villages for Palestinian Arabs who had been made refugees as a result of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. He was an Adviser to the UK delegation to the UN Assembly in Paris in November 1951. During this period he also began to write, his first book being Jerusalem, The One Remains (1954). Later books included The Life and Times of Herod the Great (1958), The Later Herods (1958), Hadrian (1960), Caesars and Saints (1962), The End of the Roman World (1966), and The Death of the Roman Republic (1969). Other books among the 18 he wrote include guides to Athens, Jerusalem, Rome and Malta. In addition, he was a frequent contributor to various edited works, encyclopaedias and academic journals, including Antiquity. Perowne was appointed OBE in 1944 and a Knight of the Venerable Order of Saint John (KStJ) in 1955. In 1957 he was named Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA). He was a Member of the Church of England Foreign Relations Council and a long-standing member of the famous Travellers' Club in Pall Mall, London. Works contributed by Perowne to the Conway Library are currently being digitised by the Courtauld Institute of Art, as part of the Courtauld Connects project.

Perowne's closing years were spent in the Distressed Gentlefolks' Aid Association's care home in Vicarage Gate, Kensington, London. He died in 1989 at Charing Cross Hospital in London aged 87 years old. He was survived by his former wife, Freya Stark.

Rote Insel

Rote Insel (literally, Red Island) is the name colloquially given to a neighborhood in the Schöneberg district of the German capital, Berlin. As such, the Island is part of Berlin's 7th administrative borough, Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

Overview
On the Berlin city map, the neighborhood is located within a distinctive triangle bordered by railway lines in the southwestern corner of the city center. The large trenches dug to accommodate the tracks for trains and light-rail make crossing one of the many bridges that span the tracks, and that form the area into an "island", the only ways to access this part of Schöneberg. Its comparative isolation from the adjoining parts of Berlin is why the area is considered insular. Its peculiar history is indicative of the sharp contrasts with which modern German history since 1871 abounds. Up until the end of World War I, roughly half of the Island's territory was marked by its extensive use by the Prussian army, whereas the other half was a distinctively working-class residential district, dominated by voters of left-wing parties (hence the "red").

As the Island survived the allied air raids during World War II virtually intact, it has managed to maintain much of its distinctive flavor. The neighborhood is populated by residents from varied ethnic backgrounds, with an unobtrusive Bohème charm, but lacking the mannerisms typical of the "hipper" quarters of post-reunification Berlin.

The best known person from the neighborhood is Marlene Dietrich, who was born in Leberstrasse 65 (then called Sedanstrasse) on December 27, 1901. The actress and singer Hildegard Knef, lived in the same street where Dietrich was born, in Leberstrasse 33. Both women are very much a part of the local folklore of the island. Alfred Lion, the co-founder of the American Blue Note jazz record label, was also born in the neighborhood.

Stuttgart Spring Festival

Stuttgart Spring Festival (in German called Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest or sometimes vernacular Cannstatter Wasen or just Wasen) was an annual fair that takes place in the German city of Stuttgart between the middle of April and the beginning of May. The festival took place on the Cannstatter Wasen, traditional fairgrounds in Stuttgart's Bad Cannstatt district. It was slightly smaller than the festival in the autumn (and therefore occasionally also called the "small Wasen"), but it was the largest spring festival in Europe. Like the autumn fair, the Frühlingsfest offered a variety of fairground attractions. The tallest attraction was the 47 metre Ferris wheel and the fair almost invariably featured a major roller coaster.

The Frühlingsfest started on a Saturday with the traditional opening of a beer barrel by the Stuttgart mayor.

The Fruit Column, a tall wooden structure decorated with fruits, was introduced to the Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest in 1995. Originally it was only present at the autumn Volksfest but in 1995 it was left to stand on the festival site all year round. However, in later years, this practice was changed and once again the column began to be dismantled in the autumn of each year, leaving just the base. This carried a large can during the Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest.

Periods of operation

 * The festival opened Monday - Friday at noon, Saturday, Sunday and holidays at 11 am.
 * Closing time was 11 pm on Sunday - Thursday and midnight on Friday, Saturday and before holidays.
 * Musical performances ended in the main tents half an hour before closing.

Massicot

Massicot is lead (II) oxide mineral with an orthorhombic lattice structure. Lead(II) oxide (formula: PbO) can occur in one of two lattice formats, orthorhombic and tetragonal. The red tetragonal form is called litharge. PbO can be changed from massicot to litharge (or vice versa) by controlled heating and cooling. At room temperature massicot forms soft (Mohs hardness of 2) yellow to reddish-yellow, earthy, scaley masses which are very dense, with a specific gravity of 9.64. Massicot can be found as a natural mineral, though it is only found in minor quantities. In bygone centuries it was mined. Nowadays massicot arises during industrial processing of lead and lead oxides, especially in the glass industry, which is the biggest user of PbO.

The definition of massicot as orthorhombic PbO dates from the 1840s, but the substance massicot and the name massicot has been in use since the late medieval era. There is some evidence that the ancient Romans used the substance.

It may occur as an oxidation product of other lead-bearing minerals such as galena, bournonite, boulangerite, either naturally or in industrial processing. When massicot is found in a natural environment, some other minerals that may be found with it may include cerussite, litharge, minium, wulfenite, valentinite and limonite.

Alan Sears

Alan E. Sears is an American lawyer. He served as the president, CEO, and general counsel of the Alliance Defending Freedom until January 2017. Sears was also the staff executive director of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, popularly known as the Meese Commission.

Education, faith, and family
Sears graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Louisville. He earned a J.D. degree from the University of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law.

Sears was raised in the Baptist church, but converted to Roman Catholicism in 1988 before marrying his wife, Paula. Sears and Paula were jointly invested in the Pontifical Equestrian Order of St. Gregory the Great on June 29, 2017.

Government
Sears served as a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's office for western Kentucky. During his time as a federal prosecutor Sears served as staff executive director of the Attorney General's Commission on Pornography also known as the Meese Commission. This commission was established by Attorney General William French Smith at the direction of President Reagan in early 1985. The commission became popularly known as the Meese Commission after Edwin Meese III, Smith's successor, announced the names of its eleven members in May 1985. Although he was not a voting member, Sears was influential on the commission and vigorously supported strengthening anti-obscenity laws.

Sears served as associate solicitor under Secretary Donald Hodel at the Department of the Interior.

Alliance Defending Freedom
Sears led the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian right legal advocacy group founded in 1994, for more than twenty years. Under his leadership, the ADF won a string of victories in lawsuits on behalf of the conservative Christian movement. By 2014, the ADF had an annual budget of $40 million and more than 40 staff attorneys, and had "emerged as the largest legal force of the religious right, arguing hundreds of pro bono cases across the country." Sears retired as ADF's president and CEO in 2017. However, he continued to be an employee of ADF until 2020, when he earned $800,000 in the role of "Founder."

In June 2017, Sears was named a knight of the Papal Order of St. Gregory.

Writing
Sears has co-written two books with Craig Osten, both published by the Southern Baptist Convention's media and distribution division B&H Publishing Group.

The Homosexual Agenda, published in 2003, has been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "an anti-LGBT call to arms that links homosexuality to pedophilia and other 'disordered sexual behavior'". The book was accused of claiming that allowing same-sex marriage was a part of a secret agenda by activists to “lead young men and women into homosexual behavior” and trap them in a homosexual lifestyle. The book also accused gay-rights advocates as trying to create a nation of “broken families and broken lives.”

Sears and Osten also co-wrote The ACLU vs. America: Exposing the Agenda to Redefine Moral Values, published in 2005.
