University Hall (Dublin)

University Hall, also known as Hatch Hall, is a building on Hatch Street, Dublin 2, Ireland which has housed a Jesuit university hall accommodation, a direct provision accommodation centre for asylum seekers and refugees and in 2020 a plan was lodged for its conversion to a 60-bedroom 5-star hotel.
The building was designed by Charles B. Powell in 1910 in a late-Victorian and gothic-revival style which contrasted markedly with its predominantly Georgian townhouse surroundings.
Founded by the Jesuits in 1913, University Hall provided accommodation for third level male students studying in Dublin until its closure in 2004. The Jesuits promoted a spirit of 'Friendship, Faith, Involvement', and the hall was well known for its community spirit. The hall's motto was Sic Luceat Lux Vestra (in this way let your light shine).
Initially the hall catered to only a small number of students, mostly studying medicine in UCD, but its intake grew progressively larger throughout the twentieth century to a yearly average of over 100 male students.
In 2004 the property was bought for €16m by Gerry Barrett, a property developer who intended to develop the hall into a hotel. Permission for an 81-bedroom hotel was initially granted permission by Dublin City Council before being rejected by An Bord Pleanála.
Later the building was operated as a direct provision centre being used as accommodation for asylum seekers and refugees.
The building was acquired by Red Carnation Hotels for €20m in 2019 and is to be converted into a 5-star boutique hotel.
The undisputed annual highlight of the Hall's calendar was the 'Hatch Ball' a large formal dinner held in the nearby Shelbourne Hotel. It was by no means, however, the only social gathering; with intermittent discos in nearby nightclubs, nightly parties in private rooms usually proceeding to Dublin nightclubs and regular excursions to the beloved local pub, Hartigans of Leeson Street, the social scene was always vibrant.
The hall also supported a number of societies including film, debating and photography. The management actively encouraged hall residents to become active members of the local community through charity events and homework clubs.
Former residents of Hatch hall still meet socially in Hartigans pub on the first Wednesday of every calendar month; a social gathering known as "Hatch Wednesday". Past residents of the hall have included Desmond O'Malley, founder and former leader of the Progressive Democrats; Brian Cowen T.D and Michael O'Leary, Ryanair CEO.
Hotel Metropole, Dublin

The Hotel Metropole (The Met) was a notable landmark hotel in Dublin, Ireland. It was located next to the General Post Office building in O'Connell Street. Originally four Georgian buildings, they were combined to form a unified hotel in a high-french style by architect William M. Mitchell in 1891–93. Various architectural additions and embellishments were included to make the building look more French including a mansard roof with rounded dormer windows. This followed the style other Dublin hotels were adopting at the time including the Shelbourne Hotel and nearby the Jury's Hotel at College Green.
The building was badly damaged during the Easter Rising and the remains were ultimately demolished. The hotel's owners received significant compensation following the final report of the Property Losses (Ireland) Committee.
In 1922, a neoclassical building, designed by Aubrey V. O'Rourke, was built out of the ruins - The Metropole - and this building included a cinema and a ballroom, as well as a couple of bars and a restaurant, the Georgian Room. The Met closed on 11 March 1972 and the building was sold to British Home Stores who demolished it.
The replacement was a modernist nondescript modern retail building constructed by G&T Crampton in 1977. As of 2022, the building houses a large Penneys shop.
The Helix, Dublin

The Helix, formally The Helix Centre for the Performing Arts, is a multi-purpose venue located on the Dublin City University main campus in Glasnevin, Dublin. Officially opened by then President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, on 5 March 1996, the Helix contains a concert hall, theatre, studio theatre, exhibition space, artists-in-residence studios, and a green room and other support spaces, along with an in-site café.
Originally conceived as an aula maxima for the university, and also as the "North Dublin (Performing) Arts Centre," the Helix was built at a cost of €56.5 million between 1996 and mid-1998.
The Helix was designed by the late Polish-born Dublin-based architect Andrzej Wejchert of A&D Wejchert & Partners Architects. It is a three-level building with elevations of contrasting glass and granite, and with an open void through which light spills from the roof. The 11,650 square metres of the building are built around a wide foyer with inclined columns and a helix-shaped stairway - the building was named for the helical structure that dominates the entrance.
The performance spaces include the main concert hall, "The O'Mahony Hall," main Helix theatre, "The Space" - a studio theatre, exhibition space, artists-in-residence studios, and a green room, while ancillary spaces include a café, box office, small shop, toilets and other amenities.
The Helix has been host to world-class performances ranging from Zach Bryan, the Russian State Philharmonic Orchestra, The St Petersburg Ballet, international theatre and world singers through to popular West End shows. Opera singers performing have included Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Lesley Garrett and Bryn Terfel. Rock musicians Van Morrison and Lou Reed have also played at the venue. Irish groups such as Celtic Thunder have also performed there.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic it is being used as a vaccination centre since February 2021. The centre is scheduled to be operating 8am-8pm seven days a week. The capacity of the car park was a factor in choosing the building. The vaccination centre is the work of collaboration between general practitioners, practice nurses, medical students, Order of Malta Ambulance Corps, Order of Malta Ambulance Corps, Department of Health, Dublin City University and Dublin Airport.
Many TV programmes have been broadcast from or recorded in The Helix.
Iveagh House

Iveagh House is a Georgian house which now contains the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin, Ireland. It is also sometimes used colloquially as a metonym referring to the department itself.
Iveagh House was originally two houses, nos 80 and 81 St Stephen's Green. No 80 was designed by Richard Castle in 1736 for Bishop Clayton. It was later the home of barrister and Master of the Rolls John Philpot Curran.
After both houses were bought by Benjamin Guinness in 1862 he served as his own architect, combined the two houses and produced the building as it now stands. On the Portland stone facade pediment he placed his parents' arms: on the left the Milesian lion, with the Red Hand of Ulster above, for the Magennis clan of County Down; and on the right the arms of the Lee family, Dublin builders from about 1700. The building has nine bays, with the central three broken forward and pedimented. The interior of the building is hugely elaborate and decorative, with a staircase and ballroom lined with alabaster. The staircase also has ornate ironwork, marble columns and circular roof lights.
The building was donated to the Irish state by Benjamin Guinness's grandson, Rupert, Lord Iveagh, in 1939, and was renamed Iveagh House. The original Iveagh House is still a part of the Iveagh Trust nearby.
The Iveagh Gardens at the back of the house were given to University College Dublin (UCD), by The 1st Lord Iveagh in 1908, in connection with the formation of its campus on Earlsfort Terrace. The gardens have since been transferred to the OPW and are now used as a public park. The conservation and restoration of the Gardens commenced in 1995 and to date most of the original features have been restored, for example the Maze in Box hedging with a Sundial as a centre piece. The restored Cascade and exotic tree ferns all help to create a sense of wonder in the 'Secret Garden'.
Monsters Tour

The Monsters Tour was the final comedy tour of British comedian Lee Evans. The tour visited Bournemouth, Brighton, Nottingham, Sheffield, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Aberdeen, Liverpool, Newcastle, Dublin, Belfast and Cardiff with tickets going on sale in late May 2013. The tour follows a fairly similar route to Evans' 2011 Roadrunner Tour. A live DVD was recorded at the NIA, Birmingham on Saturday 20 September with Lee receiving a standing ovation following the finale. On 20 November, Lee announced the tour to be his last ever, subsequently announcing his retirement from comedy.
Aghinagh House

Aghinagh House is a building in Caum Townland, County Cork, Ireland which was probably constructed sometime between 1799 and 1815. The building is an example of Irish Georgian architecture. Historical maps label the house as Ashton and Rectory.
The most notable owner of Aghinagh House was Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, VC (May 1880 through June 1963), a renowned figure in British military history. Sir Adrian is buried in the grounds of the church adjacent to Aghinagh House.
Maia (nurse)

Maia was the wet nurse of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun in the 14th century BC. Her rock-cut tomb was discovered in the Saqqara necropolis in 1996.
Maia bears the titles "wet nurse of the king", "educator of the god's body" and "great one of the harem". Her origin and relatives are not known. Apart from Tutankhamun, the Overseer of the Magazine Rahotep, the High Priest of Thoth, and scribes named Tetinefer and Ahmose are mentioned in inscriptions. Due to the close resemblance of Maia with Tutankhamun's sister Meritaten, it was suggested that the two are identical.
Maia's tomb was discovered in 1996 by the French archaeologist Alain Zivie and his team in the vicinity of the Bubasteion complex dedicated to the deity Bastet at Saqqara. The outside of the tomb is built on limestone with four pillars forming a square. The side walls of the entrance are decorated with colourful and well preserved inscriptions. A relief in the tomb's first chamber shows Maia sitting on a chair with Tutankhamun on her lap and surrounded by six people honouring the young king. On the opposite wall there is a badly damaged scene showing Maia in front of the king. Only three limestone blocks of these scenes are preserved. A door leads to a second longer chamber found full of rubble and partly burnt mummified cats. The second room is dedicated to the burial rites associated with Maia. Maia is shown in front of offering bearers. She is depicted as a mummy in relation to the opening of the mouth ritual and she is standing before the underworld god Osiris. Another door opens to a third chamber, a hall with pillars, also found full of rubble. The pillars are decorated with the image of Maia. The back of the room shows a stela carved into the rock with Maia in front of Osiris. From this hall, a shaft leads to a lower level of the tomb. The tomb's chapel contained a limestone sarcophagus with a cat mummy inside. Masonry work carried out in later periods covered wall paintings in the third chamber and included several pillars into the chamber's walls. Once uncovered, these pillars revealed paintings of Maia. A stela carved out of rock in the back of this room bears reliefs and inscriptions.
In 2001, the team started to explore the tomb's first lower level, which also contained large amounts of cat mummies beside human mummies, votive objects, statues and sarcophagi. This level had also been reused in later periods of the tomb's history. On this level, the skeleton of a male lion was found in autumn 2001. It did not have any bandages, but showed signs of mummification similar to other cat mummies found in the tomb. It had probably lived and died in the Ptolemaic period.
The second lower level was explored in autumn 2002. It is smaller than the previous levels and has not been reused.
In December 2015 the tomb was opened for the public.

Kopi robusta

Kopi robusta (Coffea canephora) merupakan keturunan beberapa spesies kopi yang tumbuh baik di ketinggian 400–700 mdpl, temperatur 21-24 °C dengan bulan kering 3-4 bulan secara berturut-turut dan 3-4 kali hujan kiriman. Kualitas buah lebih rendah dari kopi arabika dan liberika.
Kopi robusta mewakili antara 40% dan 45% dari produksi kopi global, sebagian besar sisanya adalah Coffea arabica. Terdapat beberapa perbedaan komposisi biji kopi dari C. arabica dan C. robusta. Biji dari C. robusta cenderung memiliki tingkat keasaman yang lebih rendah, lebih pahit, dan rasa yang lebih berkayu dan sedikit rasa buah dibandingkan dengan biji C. arabica.
Tanaman ini memiliki sistem akar yang dangkal dan tumbuh menjadi pohon atau perdu hingga mencapai 10 meter. Masa berbunganya tidak teratur dan membutuhkan sekitar 10-11 bulan bagi buahnya untuk masak, hingga menghasilkan biji kopi yang diinginkan. Kopi robusta menghasilkan lebih banyak panen daripada jenis arabika, dan mengandung lebih banyak kafein, yakni 2,7% dibandingkan dengan arabika yang mengandung 1,5% saja. Selain itu, robusta juga lebih tahan terhadap serangan hama dan penyakit, sehingga membutuhkan lebih sedikit herbisida dan pestisida daripada perkebunan arabika. Meskipun demikian, sejumlah patogen seperti Hypothenemus hampei, Zeuzera sp. Xylosandrus sp, Coccus viridis, Ferrisia virgata, Cercospora, Psychidae, dan Pratylenchus coffeae dapat mengganggu produksi kopi robusta
C. canephora berasal dari hutan dataran tinggi di Ethiopia, yang juga tumbuh di bagian Afrika Tengah dan Afrika Barat, terbentang dari Liberia hingga Tanzania dan bagian selatan Angola. Tetumbuhan ini tidak dikenali sebagai spesies kopi hingga tahun 1897, seabad lebih setelah penemuan spesies Coffea arabica. Robusta juga dilaporkan telah diperkenalkan di Kalimantan, Polinesia Prancis, Kosta Rika, Nikaragua, Jamaika dan Antillen Kecil.
Salade niçoise

Salade niçoise adalah salad yang berasal dari kota Nice, Prancis. Salad ini secara tradisional terbuat dari tomat, telur rebus, zaitun Niçoise dan ikan teri atau tuna. Salad ini sudah populer di seluruh dunia sejak awal abad ke-20, dan telah disiapkan dan dibahas oleh banyak koki. Delia Smith menyebutnya "salah satu kombinasi bahan salad terbaik yang pernah ditemukan" dan Gordon Ramsay mengatakan bahwa "itu pasti salad musim panas terbaik dari semua".
Salad ini yang dikenal di Nice pada akhir abad ke-19 adalah kombinasi dasar tomat, ikan teri dan minyak zaitun, yang digambarkan sebagai "makanan sederhana untuk orang miskin". Seiring waktu, bahan-bahan segar dan kebanyakan mentah lainnya ditambahkan ke salad seperti yang disajikan di Nice. Resep tahun 1903 oleh Henri Heyraud dalam sebuah buku berjudul La Cuisine à Nice termasuk tomat, ikan teri, artichoke, minyak zaitun, paprika merah dan zaitun hitam, tetapi tidak termasuk tuna dan selada. Sausnya termasuk minyak zaitun, cuka, mustard, dan herba halus.

Lontong sayur

Lontong sayur atau lontong gulai adalah makanan Indonesia berupa irisan lontong yang disajikan dengan sayur-sayuran yang dimasak dalam kuah santan encer. Bahan sayuran ini diiris-iris dan dicampurkan ke dalam kuah santan. Sayuran yang digunakan antara lain labu siam, buncis, nangka muda, kemudian dapat ditambahkan pelengkap seperti tempe, tahu, telur rebus, sambal dan kerupuk. Hidangan ini dapat ditemukan dalam tradisi Betawi, dan Minang.
Lontong sayur sangat mirip dengan ketupat sayur, perbedaannya hanya dalam pilihan menggunakan ketupat atau lontong. Di Jakarta hidangan ini adalah pilihan menu sarapan yang populer selain bubur ayam dan nasi uduk.
Lontong gulai Minang memiliki bumbu kental khas masakan Minang. Kuah santan yang kaya bumbu rempah sudah dikenal sebagai salah satu cara memasak ala masakan Minang. Beberapa lontong gulai ini antara lain; lontong gulai paku, lontong gulai tauco, lontong gulai cubadak.

Emping Garut

Emping Garut adalah makanan khas yang dikembangkan oleh warga masyarakat sekitar lereng Gunung Wilis, antara daerah Wungu dan Dagangan. Makanan ini dibuat dari garut (sejenis umbi-umbian) yang ditumbuk halus dan dikeringkan dan dibentuk menjadi bulatan-bulatan kecil yang setelah kering siap untuk digoreng. Cita rasa emping ini gurih dan tidak mengandung kolesterol.
Sampai saat ini, emping garut masih menjadi andalan industri rumah tangga di Ds./Kec. Dagangan, dengan jumlah produksi yang semakin meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Tetapi, produksi emping garut bukan tanpa adanya hambatan. Hambatan terbesar yang dihadapi pengrajin adalah kurangnya pasokan bahan baku garut. Hal ini dikarenakan masa panen garut yang hanya satu kali dalam setahun, yaitu antara bulan Mei sampai Oktober.
Saat ini, Emping garut juga sudah merambah pasar luar kota, antara lain Kediri dan Malang. Di mana setiap bulannya, dari wilayah Ds./Kec. Dagangan sendiri memasok kurang lebih 1 sampai 2 ton Emping Garut ke dua kota tersebut.
Emping beras

Emping beras adalah salah satu makanan atau camilan khas dari Pulau Belitung, provinsi Bangka Belitung, dengan lokasi persebaran pada Kabupaten Belitung Timur. Makanan ini terbuat dari beras yang diambil dari bulir padi. Bulir padi ini direndam sekitar satu hari dengan air santan, setelahnya baru ditumbuk. Selama proses penumbukan ini, tahap terbentuknya emping beras dimulai dengan bulir padi berubah bentuk menjadi pipih yang menyerupai emping. Biasanya, untuk memastikan emping beras betul-betul bersih, kulit dipisah dari isinya dengan menggunakan tampah. Setelah jadi emping beras yang mentah, penyajian makanan ini dilanjutkan dengan pembuatan kuah yang menggunakan bahan-bahan seperti air putih, santan, gula merah, gula pasir, garam, dan daun pandan.
Pada sejarah kebudayaan masyarakat Pulau Belitung, terdapat kelompok masyarakat yang disebut Orang Darat. Masyarakat ini memiliki tradisi agraris yang disebut Maras Taun. Dalam perayaan Maras Taun, masyarakat menghidangkan makanan khas berupa lepat, dan didampingi dengan emping beras. Representasi dari emping beras ini merupakan gambaran dari Orang Darat yang hidup sebagai peladang huma.
Camilan ini mulai jarang ditemukan di tempat umum ataupun rumah makan sehingga kondisi budayanya sudah berkurang. Namun, kuliner ini masih dapat dinikmati pada beberapa kelompok masyarakat yang menyelenggarakan acara Maras Taun, seperti pada Desa Balok Kecamatan Dendang, Desa Jangkar Asam, dan Desa Air madu yang terletak di Kecamatan Gantung. Kuliner ini hampir tidak mungkin ditemukan pada hari-hari biasa karena proses pengerjaannya melibatkan banyak ketika saat yang dibuat khusus sebagai hidangan pada ritus Maras Taun. Dengan demikian, kuliner ini merupakan makanan khas yang dapat ditemui pada saat-saat tertentu saja.
Nasi goreng pattaya

Nasi goreng pattaya, or simply nasi pattaya, is a Southeast Asian fried rice dish made by covering or wrapping chicken fried rice in thin fried egg or omelette. Despite its apparent reference to the city of Pattaya in Thailand, the dish is believed to originate from Malaysia, and today is also commonly found in Singapore. It is often served with chili sauce, tomato ketchup, slices of cucumber, and keropok.
In Indonesia, this kind of nasi goreng is often called nasi goreng amplop (enveloped fried rice), since the nasi goreng is enveloped within a pocket of thin omelette. However, due to proximity and neighbouring influences, today this kind of fried rice is often also called as nasi goreng pattaya in Indonesia. Today, the dish is popular throughout Southeast Asia, it is one of the fried rice variants favourite in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
The name is believed to be derived from Pattaya, a popular beach resort in Thailand. However, despite its Thai connotations, the dish is actually more common in Malaysia than in Thailand. The omelette-covered pattaya fried rice is hardly found in Pattaya itself. It is most likely that the dish did originate in Malaysia, and that the "Pattaya" moniker was probably used for novelty or marketing purposes.
A similar dish exists in Japan, and is called omurice (from the English words omelette/omuretsu and rice). It is a fried ketchup-flavoured rice sandwiched with a thinly spread beaten egg or covered with a plain egg omelette.
Chahan (dish)

Chahan (Japanese: チャーハン/炒飯, Hepburn: chāhan), also known as yakimeshi (Japanese: 焼飯 or 焼き飯), is a Japanese fried rice dish prepared with rice as a primary ingredient and myriad additional ingredients and seasonings. The dish is typically fried, and can be cooked in a wok. Chahan may have originated in the 1860s from Chinese immigrants arriving at the port of Kobe. Chahan is a staple food in homes in Japan. Some restaurants outside Japan serve the dish as a part of their fare.
Chahan may have originated from Chinese immigrants who arrived at the port of Kobe, Japan in the 1860s. In Chinese, fried rice is called chǎofàn (炒飯); these same Chinese characters have a Japanese reading of chāhan.
Chahan is a Japanese fried rice dish that is typically cooked in a wok. Rice is used as a primary ingredient, and a wide range of additional ingredients can be used including scrambled egg, vegetables, onion, garlic, edible mushrooms such as shiitake, tofu, pork, as well as seafoods such as crab meat, roe, and shrimp. Oils such as canola oil, sesame oil and sunflower oil are used to fry the dish. The dish can be seasoned with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper and katsuobushi, a dried and flaked tuna product. Shiso, an Asian culinary herb, may also be used to flavor chahan. Nori, a dried edible seaweed product, can be used as a garnish.
The use of a hot wok for frying and cooking chahan quickly can prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, and using warm rice also prevents pan sticking. The use of pre-cooked and refrigerated rice is also conducive toward enhancing the cooking process.
Takana chahan is prepared with takanazuke (pickled takana) as a primary ingredient.
List of crackers

This is a list of crackers. A cracker is a baked good typically made from a grain-and-flour dough and usually manufactured in large quantities. Crackers (roughly equivalent to savory biscuits in the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man) are usually flat, crisp, small in size (usually 75 millimetres (3.0 in) or less in diameter) and made in various shapes, commonly round or square.
Dare Foods

Dare Foods, Limited is a Canada-based food manufacturing company. They have seven factories in Canada and the United States. Their products are distributed in North America and in more than 50 other countries.
In 1892, the founder of Dare Foods, Charles H. Doerr, began making and selling cookies and candies in a small grocery shop in Berlin, Ontario, Canada. By 1919, Doerr had created the C.H. Doerr Company, which distributed his goods throughout Ontario. Following Charles's death in 1941, the company was led by his twenty-four-year-old grandson Carl Doerr. Carl had been raised by his paternal grandparents after both his parents died of the Spanish flu.
On February 16, 1943, a fire destroyed the company's factory at Weber and Breithaupt in Kitchener, killing nightwatchman Julius Eckstein and risking the future of the company, then known as C.H. Doerr Co. Ltd. Carl quickly moved to rebuild, relocating the same year as the fire to a plot of land on what is today Kingsway Drive in Kitchener.
The name of the company was changed to "Dare" in 1945 because it was easier to pronounce. Dare products became more popular Canada-wide by 1954, and began to be exported to the U.S. in 1956.
Dare is known for adopting the resealable "tin tie" packaging for their cookies in 1954. The resealable bag ensured freshness and soon became the standard packaging for cookies across Canada.
Dare continued to grow rapidly by expanding their product lines and starting new trends in the food industry. Due to the recent awareness of peanut allergies, Dare declared all of its facilities to be "peanut free." They were one of the first large food manufacturers in Canada to do this. The following is a list of traditional products they make:
Dare provides snacks for families. A few of their new promoted products are:
Since 2003, they have produced Canada's Girl Guide cookies.

Oyster cracker

Oyster crackers are small, salted crackers, typically rounds about 15 millimetres (5⁄8 inch) in diameter, although a slightly smaller hexagonal variety is also common. Oyster crackers are often served with oyster stew and clam chowder and have a flavor similar to saltine crackers.
Oyster crackers are popular in the northeastern United States, where they are served as an accompaniment to soup, and in the Cincinnati area, where they are frequently served with that city's distinctive chili. In New England, oyster crackers are served with oyster stew and chowders. Plain oyster crackers are sometimes seasoned with various spices or pepper sauce and served as an appetizer or snack. Oyster crackers have a taste similar to saltine crackers, but usually are less salty. In other areas of the United States, they are among the choices for crackers with soup or salads and are often available in restaurants in single serving packages.
Many different companies produce oyster crackers with different combinations of shortenings and other ingredients, but retaining the same general shape and size.
The origin of the term "oyster cracker" is unclear, but it may be that they were originally served with oyster stew or clam chowder or possibly that they look somewhat like an oyster in its shell. Other names include "water cracker," "Philadelphia cracker," and "Trenton cracker".
The Westminster Cracker Company, currently of Rutland, Vermont, claims to have been making oyster crackers since 1828. However, a counterclaim credits Adam Exton with inventing the oyster cracker nearly 18 years later.
Adam Exton, a baker in Trenton, New Jersey, immigrated to America from Lancashire, England, in 1842. In Trenton, Exton opened a cake and cracker bakery with his brother-in-law, Richard Aspden, in 1846. Although Aspden died the following year, Exton continued with the bakery (the "Exton Cracker Bakery" or "Adam Exton & Co."). He invented a machine that rolled and docked pastry and solved the sanitary problems of hand-rolling crackers.
The history of the oyster cracker was related by Exton's nephew, also named Adam Exton, in the Trenton Evening Times newspaper on May 31, 1917:
EMP 44

The EMP 44 was a prototype, all-metal submachine gun produced by Erma Werke in 1943. It was rejected by the Heereswaffenamt.
The EMP 44 fires from an open bolt. The caliber is 9×19mm Parabellum. The length of the gun is 892–950 mm depending on stock position. The barrel length is either 250 or 308 mm long. Its rate of fire is 500 rounds per minute and has sliding two 32-round MP 40 magazine wells. The practical range was 150–200 meters.
The gun was crudely assembled with a stock made of pipes welded together. This was part of its design philosophy for the weapon was created in response to the requirements of the Primitiv-Waffen-Programm, more or less in an attempt to imitate the British Sten gun and to a lesser extent the PPSh-41. Ultimately, its crude looking design was what made it to be rejected by the German army.
The gun was probably designed in 1942, with the sole exemplar known having serial number 15, and having February 1943 as its manufacture date. One theory as to fate of the prototypes is that most were cannibalized for their dual feed mechanism which was then installed on MP40/I.
The wide use of submachine guns by the German armed forces in the Second World War led to a strong dependence on the industrial capacity of arms factories that brought out simplified designs at lower production costs. In 1944, Erma, the main MP 40 producer, submitted the EMP 44. The receiver was produced out of welded steel tubing like the Sten. The flash suppressor was formed in the same manner as the Russian machine pistol PPS-43 muzzle brake from stamped steel. The EMP 44 was rejected due to its failure to pass acceptance tests, but mainly because new weapons like the MP 44/STG 44 were already produced with the goal to replace both the MP 40 and the Karabiner 98k.

DeFacto was founded in 2003 by Zeki Cemal Özen, the owner of Ozan Tekstil. Their present CEO is İhsan Ateş, who started his career at LC Waikiki.

Other brands were phased out to concentrate solely on the DeFacto brand of men's, women's, and children's wear, for the first two years without its own retail stores.
In 2003, the company's market data showed that only 6% of customers were willing to spend more than 50 Turkish lira on shirts.

In 2015, DeFacto opened its first store in Morocco, in Marrakesh and the following year had opened 5 stores in that country. It also opened a design office in Barcelona.
As of September 2015, DeFacto had 277 stores in about 63 cities in Turkey and 50 abroad, with the company's Sustainability Report indicating presence in at least nine countries.
In 2016, DeFacto acquired 24 C&A-branded stores of the company C&A Moda Ticaret AŞ. As of that year, the stores with the highest sales were the ones in Baghdad, Federal Iraq.
In 2018, 30% of the company shares were offered to the public. The same year, DeFacto opened stores in Pakistan and Malaysia, bringing the total number of countries to 24 including Turkey, and 125 stores outside Turkey.
In 2023, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) invested US$59 million into DeFacto. Franklin Templeton is another investor.
As of 2024, DeFacto stores operate in Turkey and 33 other countries (launch year in each country in parentheses/brackets if known):
