Ephesus

**Ephesus** (; ) was an ancient Greek city on the west coast of Anatolia, which is now in Turkey.  It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League.

The Apostle Paul is said to have addressed an epistle to the Christians of the city, and it is now known as the Epistle to the Ephesians in the New Testament.  The site still possesses many well-preserved Roman ruins side by side with rich history.

### Odeons

The most significant ruins are the odeons: concert halls or musical theaters which held around 1,500 people. They were used for artistic performances as well as city council meetings.

### Temple of Hadrian

Another important ruin is the Temple of Hadrian. It was built in the second century and has high-quality sculpture craftsmanship.

### Curettes Street

Curettes Street hosts many monuments and countless columns alongside its marble-paved ground. These include a fountain dedicated to Emperor Trajan.

The remaining parts of a statue there shows that Romans knew the world was round in the first century AD. The statue also depicts latrines (toilets), showing that the Romans cared about public sanitation.

### Library of Celsus

At the end of Curettes Street is the Library of Celsus. It was the third biggest library of the ancient world, after the libraries of Alexandria and Pergamon.

When seen from the building's facade, it looks like a two-story building, but in the past it had three stories. The facade shows a rare found craftsmanship. The building took twenty years (from 115 AD to 135 AD) to complete.

### Grand theatre

Another important ruin is Ephesus' grand theatre, which could hold 25,000 people. It was used for artistic performances, animal fights, and gladiator matches. The Acts of the Apostles (19:23-41) in the New Testament of the Bible calls the grand theater one of the sacred ruins of Ephesus.

The theater was the site of the "riot of the silversmiths." Because the Apostle Paul's preaching about a single God was bad for business, people who made silver figures of Artemis (a pagan goddess of the city) rioted.

In the 1st century AD, the Apostle Paul spent over three years in Ephesus. He gave many sermons in the grand theater, disapproving of pagan worship.

Je (Cyrillic)

**Je** (**Ј**, **ј**) is a letter of the Cyrillic alphabet, used in the Serbian, Macedonian, Azeri, and Altai languages.

In Serbian, Macedonian and Azeri this letter sounds like [y]. Since the letters Я (ya), Є (ye), Ё (yo), Ї (yi) and Ю (yu) are not used in those languages, they are written as Ja, Je, Jo, Jи and Jy.

It is also used in the Altai language to show [ʤ] or [j].

In Russian, Bulgarian, Ukrainian and Belarusian languages, Й is used instead of Ј.

Craniata

**Craniata** (sometimes **Craniota**) is a proposed clade of chordate animals that contains the vertebrates (subphylum Vertebrata) and Myxini (hagfish) as living representatives. Craniata includes all animals with a skull, or cranium, as the name suggests.

These two taxa lack proper vertebrae, which are characteristic for vertebrates according to the new interpretation, whereas traditionally—and confusingly—they were not (Hickman et al., 2007).
Ka (Cyrillic)

**Ka** (**К**, **к**) is the tenth letter in the Cyrillic alphabet. It sounds like [k].

It comes from the Greek letter kappa and is the same as the Roman K.

Bredevoort

**Bredevoort** is a small village in the municipality of Aalten, in the region of Achterhoek in the Netherlands.  It is between the towns of Aalten and Winterswijk. About 1,600 people live there.

Today they name Bredevoort also _Bredevoort boekenstad_ (_Bredevoort book town_).  There are now more than twenty second-hand book shops in the town.

## History

The name Bredevoort appears for the first time in 1188, when the earl of Steinfurt tried to sell his share of the castle to the bishop of Münster and the earl of Lohn tried to sell his share to the earl of Gelderland, a war broke out between the bishop and the earl of Gelderland. The fight lasted for almost two centuries. From 1326, Bredevoort was actual part of Gelderland. Between 1326 and 1696 the municipality of Bredevoort repeatedly changed ownership during the eighties years of war. In 1646, lightning hit the gunpowder tower of the castle of Bredevoort, causing an explosion that destroyed the castle and the town, killing Lord Haersolte of Bredevoort and his family, as well as others. Only one son, Anthonie, who was not home that day, survived. The former municipality of Bredevoort was comprised of the city, the castle Bredevoort, and the villages Aalten, Dinxperlo and Winterswijk. After centuries of war, its fortifications were demolished by its residents. In 1818, the municipality of Bredevoort was dissolved to become part of the city Bredevoort under the newly formed municipality Aalten.

Alsace–Lorraine

The **Imperial Territory of Alsace-Lorraine** ( or ,  or ) was a territory created by the German Empire in 1871 after its victory in the Franco-Prussian War. It was made up of almost all of the French region of Alsace and about a quarter of Lorraine, hence its name. France took it back in 1918 and it became part of that country as a result of Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Nazi Germany _de facto_ took it back in 1940 but France took it back in 1945.

The territory has been part of France since then. In 2016 it became part of the Region of Grand Est.
