The WWE Divas Championship was a championship in WWE competed for by women, called Divas by WWE.
It was established in 2008 and Michelle McCool was the first champion.
It was deactivated in 2016 in favor of the new WWE Women's Championship.
Charlotte was the final champion.
As a result of the WWE Brand Extension in 2002, the WWE Women's Championship was made exclusive to the Raw brand.
Thereafter, only Divas on the Raw brand were able to compete for the WWE Women's Championship, while the Divas on the SmackDown brand were unable to compete for a women's-exclusive championship.
The ruling was, however, ignored on rare occasions as Melina and Ashley have been the only divas who were on the SmackDown brand to challenge for the title.
This led to the creation of the WWE Divas Championship, which was announced on June 6, 2008 during an episode of SmackDown by SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero.
In order to determine the competitors for the new title, two 'Golden Dreams matches', the object of which was to retrieve a star that was hanging on a pole above one corner of the ring, were held.
The first Golden Dreams match was won by Natalya, and the second by Michelle McCool.
The championship belt was officially unveiled on the July 4, 2008 episode of SmackDown prior to the second Golden Dreams match.
Natalya and McCool competed against each other at The Great American Bash, which McCool won and became the inaugural champion.
At WrestleMania 32 on April 3, 2016, Lita announced that a new WWE Women's Championship would be created.
In the process, the Divas Championship would be retired.
Later in the night, the Divas Champion Charlotte beat Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks to win the new Women's Championship.
There were 26 reigns and 1 vacancy.
The first champion was Michelle McCool.
She beat Natalya to win the title at The Great American Bash on July 20, 2008.
The last champion was Charlotte.
She beat Nikki Bella at Night of Champions.
At WrestleMania 32, Charlotte beat Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks to win the new WWE Women's Championship, retiring the WWE Divas Championship in the process.

Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana) is a perennial plant of the Brassicaceae family.
The plant is probably native to southeastern Europe and western Asia.
It grows up to 1.5 metres (5 feet) tall, and is usually grown for its large, white, tapered root.
The unbroken horseradish root has very little smell.
When cut or grated, however, enzymes from the now-broken plant cells causes changes.
The enzymes break down sinigrin to produce allyl isothiocyanate (mustard oil).
This irritates the mucous membranes of the sinuses and eyes.
Once exposed to air (by grating) or heat, it needs to be mixed with vinegar.
Otherwise it becomes unpleasantly bitter-tasting.
Horseradish has been cultivated since ancient times.
Supposedly, the Delphic Oracle told Apollo that the horseradish was worth its weight in gold.
Horseradish was known in Egypt in 1500 BC.
Both root and leaves were used as a medicine during the Middle Ages.
The root was used as a condiment on meats in Germany, Scandinavia, and Britain.
It was brought to North America during Colonial times.
The word horseradish is known in English from the 1590's.
The root is similar in shape and size to a horse's genitalia.
Despite the name, this plant is poisonous to horses.
Horseradish is a perennial plant in hardiness zones 2–9.
It can be grown as an annual in other zones.
After the first frost in the autumn kills the leaves, the root is dug out and divided.
The main root is harvested for use in the kitchen.
One or more large offshoots of the main root are replanted to produce next year's crop.
Horseradish left undisturbed in the garden spreads via underground shoots.
The plant can become invasive.
Older roots left in the ground become woody.
They are then no longer useful for cooking.
Older plants can be dug out and divided to start new plants.
Pests and diseases
The larvae of Pieris rapae are a common caterpillar pest in horseradish gardens.
They are called cabbageworms.
The adults are white butterflies with black spots on the forewings.
They are seen flying around the plants during the day.
The caterpillars are green with faint yellow stripes running lengthwise down the back and sides.
Full grown caterpillars are about  in length.
They move slowly when poked.
They overwinter in green pupal cases.
Adults start appearing in gardens after the last frost and are a problem through the remainder of the growing season.
There are three to five overlapping generations a year.
Mature caterpillars chew large, ragged holes in the leaves leaving the large veins intact.
Handpicking is effective for control.
Cooks use the terms "horseradish" or "prepared horseradish" to refer to the grated root of the horseradish plant mixed with vinegar.
Prepared horseradish is white to creamy-beige in colour.
It will keep for months refrigerated but eventually will darken, indicating it is losing flavour and should be replaced.
The leaves of the plant, while edible, are not commonly eaten, and are referred to as "horseradish greens".
Horseradish sauce
Horseradish sauce made from grated horseradish root and vinegar is a popular condiment.
In the United Kingdom it is usually served with roast beef, often as part of a traditional Sunday roast.
It can also be used in a number of other dishes, including sandwiches or salads.
A variation of horseradish sauce, which in some cases may substitute the vinegar with other products like lemon juice or citric acid, is known in Germany as Tafelmeerrettich.
Also popular in the UK is Tewkesbury mustard, a blend of mustard and grated horseradish originating in medieval times and mentioned by Shakespeare (Falstaff says: "his wit's as thick as Tewkesbury Mustard" in Henry IV Part II).
A very similar mustard, called Krensenf or Meerrettichsenf, is popular in Austria and parts of Eastern Germany.
In the United States, the term "horseradish sauce" refers to grated horseradish combined with mayonnaise or salad dressing.
Prepared horseradish is a common ingredient in Bloody Mary cocktails and in cocktail sauce, and is used as a sauce or sandwich spread.
Upon crushing the flesh of horseradish, the enzyme myrosinase is released and acts on the glucosinolates sinigrin and gluconasturtiin, which are precursors to the allyl isothiocyanate.
The allyl isothiocyanate serves the plant as a natural defense against herbivores.
Since allyl isothiocyanate is harmful to the plant itself, it is stored in the harmless form of the glucosinolate, separate from the myrosinase enzyme.
When an animal chews the plant, the allyl isothiocyanate is released, repelling the animal.
Allyl isothiocyanate is an unstable compound, degrading over the course of days at 37 °C.
Because of this instability, horseradish sauces lack the pungency of the freshly crushed roots.
In Central and Eastern Europe horseradish is called khreyn (in various spellings like kren) in many Slavic languages, in Austria, in parts of Germany (where the other German name Meerrettich is not used), in North-East Italy, and in Yiddish (כריין translitered as khreyn).
There are two varieties of khreyn. "
Red" khreyn is mixed with red beet (beetroot) and "white" khreyn contains no beet.
It is popular in Ukraine (under the name of , khrin), in Poland (under the name of ), in Lithuania (krienai) in the Czech Republic (), in Russia (, khren), in Hungary (), in Romania (), in Bulgaria (, khryan), in Slovenia (, hren) and in Slovakia (under the name of ).
Having this on the table is a part of Christian Easter and Jewish Passover tradition in Eastern and Central Europe.
A variety with red beet is called  or simply ćwikła in Poland.
In Ashkenazi European Jewish cooking beet horseradish is commonly served with gefilte fish.
Red beet with horseradish is also used as a salad served with lamb dishes at Easter called sfecla cu hrean in Transylvania and other Romanian regions.
Horseradish (often grated and mixed with cream, hard-boiled eggs, or apples) is also a traditional Easter dish in Slovenia and in the adjacent  Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia; it is used also in the other nearby Italian region of Veneto.
In Croatia freshly grated horseradish(Croatian: Hren) is often eaten with boiled ham or beef.
In Serbia ren is an essential condiment with cooked meat and freshly roasted suckling pig.
Horseradish is also used as a main ingredient for soups.
In the Polish region of Silesia, horseradish soup is a common Easter Day dish.
Relation to wasabi
The Japanese condiment wasabi, although traditionally prepared from the wasabi plant, is now usually made with horseradish because the wasabi plant is rare.
The Japanese plant name for horseradish is , or "Western wasabi".
Both plants are in the family Brassicaceae.
Nutritional and biomedical uses
Horseradish has compounds that have health benefits.
Horseradish contains volatile oils, notably mustard oil.
This oil has antibacterial properties.
The fresh plant also contains average 79.31 mg of vitamin C per 100 g of raw horseradish.
The enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP), found in the plant, is used extensively in molecular biology and biochemistry.

Emigration is leaving one's country or area to go live in another.
Emigration (leaving) from one country is usually followed by Immigration (coming into) into another.
The difference between the two is the perspective (or point of view) of which country a person is leaving and which country they are going to.
The urge to migrate is a part of human nature.
People migrated well before we had written history.
Emigrants from a place are its diaspora.
People think that they benefit from moving elsewhere, because they have a better job, or they have a better chance of economic success, or they are economically better off.
This kind of migration is generally called economic migration.
The climate, or climatic events force people to move.
Climatic events include floods, droughts, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
This kind of migration is generally known as environmental migration.
As an example, people left Plymouth, on the Island of Montserrat, after a series of volcanic eruptions in 1995.
People have disadvantages where they live, often because they have special views or opinions, or they disagree with the majority or those in power.
Often they face persecution, for example because of special religious views or because they belong to an ethnic group.
Many people emigrated from Europe to what was the "New World" because they had religious beliefs that were different from the majority.
People who emigrate (or flee) from one country to another, for reasons including armed conflicts or wars are usually called refugees, once they arrive in another country.
Very often people move to where the rest of their family lives.

The World Economic Forum is a foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland.
It is known for holding a yearly meeting in Davos in the mountains of Graubünden.
Important leaders from politics (such as presidents) and the economy are given an opportunity to talk about subjects that concern everyone.
Very often, these subjects concern globalization.
Usually the Swiss army helps secure the area.
These meetings are often critizised because they are seen as a vehicle to further capitalism in the world by anti-capitalists and supporters of antiglobalization.
There is an organisation called Public Eye On Davos that organizes public information during the meeting.
During the meetings, which invole the G8, access to the village of Davos is heavily controlled.
A small demonstration happens every year in Davos during these meetings.
This is one of the rights given by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Bigger demonstrations are normally in the other cities in Switzerland during the World Economic Forum.

The Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, or in ; in Albanian: Krahina Autonome e Kosovës dhe Metohisë, commonly known as Kosovo and Metohija, or in ; in Albanian: Kosova dhe Metohija, or Kosovo, or in ; in Albanian: Kosova, for short, and abbreviated as KiM  or Kosmet from Kosovo and Metohija;  means the area of Kosovo as the Constitution of Serbia says.
The land is disputed between Serbia and the self-declared Republic of Kosovo, which currently has actual control over the land.
Before the Republic of Kosovo, the area was controlled by Serbia (while Serbia was part of Yugoslavia) between 1912 and 1999.
The Constitution and laws of Serbia say that Kosovo in the southern part of Serbia and covers the areas of Kosovo and Metohija.
The capital is Pristina.
In the past, Kosovo was an autonomous province of Serbia when Serbia was part of Socialist Yugoslavia (1946–1990).
When Socialist Yugoslavia ended in 1990, Kosovo became part of Serbia until the Kosovo War (1998–99).
After the war, it became a United Nations (UN) controlled area due to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 but legally it was still part of Serbia.
In that time, the United Nations Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) governed.
In 2008, some Albanian politicians said that Kosovo would be its own country.
98 member countries of the United Nations agree, but Serbia does not.
It still thinks that Kosovo is part of it.
In 1990, when Kosovo was part of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milošević's Anti-bureaucratic Revolution happened.
This meant that Kosovo's government became less powerful and that Serbia had more control, like in 1971–74.
That year, Kosovo's Albanian majority and also the Republic of Albania agreed with the declaration of independence of the Republic of Kosova.
Because of the Kosovo War in 1999, the Serbian army was kicked out of Kosovo.
In February 2008, the Republic of Kosovo declared independence.
Serbia does not agree, but in the Brussels agreement of 2013, it got rid of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija government.. Kosovo's independence is currently recognized by 95 UN member states.
In 2013, the Serbian government said it was getting rid of the Serb minority councils it had made in northern Kosovo, in order to allow the Kosovo Serb minority to become more like the general population of Kosovo.
The Assembly of Kosovo (, Skupština Kosova) is an institution linked to governing the territory of Kosovo.
The Assembly was created by the United Nations to provide for a democratic form of government.
The assembly has 120 seats.
100 seats are filled with people directly elected into the assembly.
The remaining 20 are always assigned as follows:
10 seats for the representatives of the Serbs.
4 seats for the representatives of the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians.
3 seats for the Bosniaks.
2 seats for the Turks.
1 seat for the Gorans.
The French Grand Prix (1906-1967: Grand Prix de l'ACF, 1968-2008: Grand Prix de France) was a race held as part of Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's (FIA) annual Formula One (F1) automobile racing championships.
Grand Prix motor racing started in France.
The French Grand Prix was open to international competition.
It is the oldest Grand Prix race.

Since 1991 its permanent home was the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours (often called just Magny-Cours).
The move to Magny-Cours was an attempt to stimulate the economy of the area, but many within Formula One complained about the remote nature of the circuit.
On 29 March 2007 it was announced by the FFSA, the race promoter, that the 2008 French Grand Prix was put on an indefinite "pause".
This suspension was due to the financial problems of the circuit.
Many in F1 did not like the circuit because of the remote location.
On 31 May, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed that the 2007 French Grand Prix would be the last to be held at Magny-Cours.
After negotiations, the future of the race improved.
Ecclestone himself stating "We're going to maybe resurrect it for a year, or something like that".
On 24 July, Ecclestone and the Prime Minister of France met.
They agreed to try to keep the race at Magny-Cours for 2008 and 2009.
On 27 July, when the FIA published the  calendar with a French Grand Prix scheduled at Magny-Cours.
The 2009 race, however, was again cancelled on 15 October 2008, with the official website citing "economic reasons".
A major remodeling project of Magny-Cours ("2.0") was planned, but canceled in the end.
FFSA, the race's promoter, started looking for an another host circuit.
There were five different proposals for a new circuit.
One in Rouen with 3 possible layouts: a street circuit, in the dock area, or a permanent circuit near the airport.
A street circuit located near Disneyland Resort Paris.
A location in Versailles.
And one in Sarcelles (Val de France).
They were all were canceled.
A final location in Flins-Les Mureaux, near the Flins Renault Factory was considered, that was canceled as well on 1 December 2009.
In 2010 and 2011, there was no French Grand Prix on the Formula 1 calendar, although the Paul Ricard Circuit has proposed itself for 2012.
The French Grand Prix was not included in the released 2012 schedule.

The British blues is a local type of blues music in Great Britain.
It started in the late 1950s and had its climax in the middle of the 1960s.
Blues came to Britain from the 1930s onwards.
Seamen brought records to British ports.
During the Second World War and in the Cold War GIs brought them to Britain.
During the 1950s Blues was popular with the British Jazz fans ( Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith and the blues influenced Boogie-woogie of Jelly Roll Morton and Fats Waller).
Also British labels like HMV and EMI began to sell jazz and blues records.
Many people heard Blues for the first time when during the skiffle hightime when acts like Lonnie Donegan covered the songs of Leadbelly.
When skiffle faded some of the musicians began to play pure blues music.
Two of them were the guitarist and blues harpist Cyril Davies and the guitarist Alexis Korner.
They ran a skiffle club in London but they closed the venue and reopened it as The London Blues and Barrelhouse Club.
The skiffle club was a center of early blues concerts in Britain.
Cyril Davis brought different acts to Britain like Big Bill Broonzy.
He played a folk blues set and blues was seen in Britain mainly as form of folk music.
This opinion had chanced when Muddy Waters came to Britain and played electric Chicago blues.
Influenced by Waters Davis and Korner formed an electric band named Blues Incorporated.
The band was important for the development of blues and rhythm ´n blues in Britain.
Alexis Korner is often referred to as "father of the British blues".
Many important musicians of the 1960s played in the band.
These included future Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Brian Jones and the Cream founders Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
Also Graham Bond and Long John Baldry were members.
Blues Incorporated played at the Marquee club.
There they recorded the first British blues album R&B from the Marquee for Decca.
The band splited up before the release.
Another important band leader was John Mayall, whose band The Bluesbreakers hosted many important musicians of British blues ( Jack Bruce, Aynsley Dunbar and Mick Taylor).
The most important band which was founded in the early 1960s were The Rolling Stones.
Other bands from London were The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Manfred Mann and The Pretty Things.
They played rhythm ´n blues influenced music.
The British blues boom overlaped with this bands.
The most important band were John Mayall´s Blues Breakers and Fleetwood Mac.
In the late 1960s Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After and Free played the first blues rock in Britain.
But Blues still had a bias in Britain.
American bluesmen like John Lee Hooker, Eddie Taylor, and Freddie King are well received in the United Kingdom .
The home scene was led by Dave Kelly and his sister Jo Ann.
They kept the acoustic blues alive.
Dave Kelly also was member of The Blues Band, which included also former Manfred Mann members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, Hughie Flint and Gary Fletcher.
In the 1990s great blues festivals were founded in Britain like The Swanage Blues Festival, The Burnley National Blues Festival, The Gloucester Blues and Heritage Festival and The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival at Colne.
One of the most important things of British blues was the reexport of blues to the USA.
The success of bands like the Rolling Stones woke the interest of many white young people in the USA in blues music.

The subphylum Hexapoda, meaning "six legs", is the largest  group of arthropods.
It includes the insects and three much smaller groups of arthropods without wings: Collembola, Protura, and Diplura.
All of these were once called insects.
It seems they are polyphyletic, and evolved independently from each other.
In other words, hexapoda is composed from the insects and the Entognatha.
Hexapods are so called because they have a thorax with three pairs of legs.
Most other arthropods have more than three pairs of legs.
Alternatively, the Hexapoda could be eliminated because they are polyphyletic, the Insecta promoted to sub-phylum, and the minor groups become incertae sedis.
This is a Latin term meaning "of uncertain placement" and used for a taxonomic group when its broader relationships are unknown or undefined.
Laurasiatheria is a large group of placental mammals.
The name comes from the area where advanced mammals evolved.
This was on the northern supercontinent of Laurasia, roughly corresponding to Eurasia today plus North America.
When Pangaea broke up, it split first into Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
The Laurasiatheria is defined by DNA sequence analysis.
The group does not share any obvious anatomical features.
It includes these living orders:
Eulipotyphla: hedgehogs, gymnures, moles, shrews, solenodons (cosmopolitan)
Cetartiodactyla: cosmopolitan; includes former orders Cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises) and Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates, including pigs, hippopotamus, camels, giraffe, deer, antelope, cattle, sheep, goats)
Pholidota: pangolins or scaly anteaters (Africa, South Asia)
Chiroptera: bats (cosmopolitan)
Carnivora: carnivores (cosmopolitan)
Perissodactyla: odd-toed ungulates
The Mysticeti  are one of the two suborders of the Cetacea.
They are often called baleen whales, or 'whalebone whales' or 'great whales'.
The difference is connected with feeding.
Baleen whales strain plankton out of the water, whereas the Odontoceti (toothed whales) eat larger prey.
Baleen
Baleen whales do not have teeth, except as embryos.
Fossil adult baleen whales did have teeth, but modern adults have only baleen.
The embryo teeth are replaced by baleen, which look like a curtain of long plates hanging down from the top of the whale's mouth.
Those plates might be 12 feet long, and a foot or more wide.
Looking at them from the outside, they look like straight knives hanging down, but from the inside, they are like a big toothbrush or comb.
Baleen is made of keratin, a tissue also found in mammalian hair and nails.
A baleen whale uses its baleen to eat.
In order to feed, a baleen whale opens its mouth widely and scoops in dense shoals of plankton and other small prey (such as krill, copepods, small fish and sometimes birds that happen to be near the shoals), together with a large volume of water.
Many baleen whales make sounds.
These sounds can be simple or complicated.
Scientists think whales sing to communicate over long distances.
Baleen whales are generally larger than toothed whales, and females are larger than males.
The group includes the largest living animal species, the blue whale.
Although they are very heavy, baleen whales are able to jump completely out of the water.
Humpback whales are known for their jumping skills, but other baleen whales also jump out from the water with their body or beat it loudly with their fins.
Nobody knows for sure why the whales do this.
It may be a type of communication.
The oldest true fossils of baleen are only 15 million years old, but baleen rarely fossilizes, and scientists believe it originated considerably earlier than that.
Genetic evidence from DNA sequence analysis supports this idea.
Baleen-related skull modifications have been found in fossils from considerably earlier.
Baleen is believed to have evolved around thirty million years ago, possibly from a hard, gummy upper jaw, like the one a Dall's porpoise has.
In fact, it resembles baleen closely at the microscopic level.
Many early baleen whales also had teeth, but these were probably used only peripherally, or perhaps not at all (again like Dall's porpoise, which catches squid and fish by gripping them against its hard upper jaw).
Importance to humans
From the 11th to the late 20th centuries, baleen whales were hunted for their oil and baleen.
Their oil can be made into margarine and cooking oils.
Baleen was used to stiffen corsets, as parasol ribs, and to crease paper.
Erinaceidae is a family in the mammalian order Eulipotyphla.
It contains the well-known hedgehogs of Eurasia and Africa and the moonrats of South-east Asia.
This family was once in the order Insectivora, but that  order is not used anymore.
Erinaceids are generally shrew-like in form, with long snouts and short tails,  but they are much larger than shrews.
All but one species have five toes in each foot (in some cases with strong claws for digging) and they have large eyes and ears.
Hedgehogs have hair modified into sharp spines to form a protective covering over the upper body and flanks, while gymnures have only normal hair.
Most species have anal scent glands, but these are far better developed in gymnures, which can have a powerful odor.
Erinaceids are omnivorous, with the major part of their diet consisting of insects, earthworms, and other small invertebrates.
They also eat seeds and fruit, and occasionally bird's eggs, along with any carrion they come across.
The dental formula for erinaceids is: upper=2-3.1.4.3; lower=3.1.2-4.3.
Hedgehogs are nocturnal, but gymnures are less so.
Many species live in simple burrows, while others build temporary nests on the surface from leaves and grass, or shelter in hollow logs or similar hiding places.
Erinaceids are solitary animals outside the breeding season, and the father plays no role in raising the young.
The young are born blind and hairless, although hedgehogs begin to sprout their spines within 36 hours of birth.

The Soricomorpha ("shrew-form") was a proposed biological group in the class of mammals.
It includes all the shrews, solenodons and moles.
It is divided into 4 families, one extinct.
The other three families are the shrews, solenodons and moles.
This followed the discovery, from sequence analysis, that the old order Insectivora was polyphyletic.
That meant it was not a single clade.
The proposal was discarded when it was discovered that a larger grouping was monophyletic, and formed an natural clade of insectivores.
That is the new order Eulipotyphla.

Peter and the Wolf is a composition by Sergei Prokofiev.
It was written in 1936 after his return to Russia, then part of the Soviet Union.
It is a children's story.
Prokofiev got the idea from Natalya Sats, who led the Moscow State Musical Theater for Children.
The idea was to introduce children to the different musical instruments in the orchestra.
For this reason, each character in the story has a particular instrument and a musical theme:
Bird: flute
Duck: Oboe
Cat: Clarinet (in A)
Grandfather: Bassoon
Wolf: 3 French Horns
Peter: String instruments
Hunters: Timpani and Bass Drum
In 1946, Walt Disney produced an animated version of Peter and the Wolf.
There are some differences to the original work, for example the animals are given names.
It was released on video tape in the 1990s.

is an action-adventure video game made by Nintendo.
It was first released in Japan on the Famicom Disk System on August 6, 1986.
In 1987 and 1988, it was released in Europe and North America on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
Years later, it was released for the Wii.
Metroid is the first game in the Metroid series and stars the character Samus Aran.
She later appears in all of the later games.
Metroid was one of the first non-linear video games.
This means that it did not force players to play through the game in one way.
Players could explore and go to all of the areas in whatever order they wished.
The basic gameplay is a mix of adventure, platform shooter, and action.
The player controls the main character Samus while exploring the game's cave-like environment.
Because Samus starts only with a weak attack and a short jump, players must find power-ups to make the attack and jump stronger, in order to get to new areas of the game.
While there are many different small enemies that players meet, there are also large bosses who must be killed in order to reach the last level of the game.
İzmir is a city in the west of Turkey.
It has one of the biggest seaports in the Aegean Sea region and all of Turkey.
İzmir is a popular destination for tourists, who come for beaches and cultural tours.
Izmir is the third largest city in Turkey.
This is an ancient city; many scholars think Homer was born in Smyrna.
An earthquake destroyed it in 187 AD, and it was rebuilt.
The Greek name for this formerly Greek city is Smyrna.
That name was also used in English until the 20th century.
About 30 km (20 miles) south of İzmir, there is an ancient Greek city named Ephesus.
İzmir was a candidate for Expo 2015.
However, Milan had more support, so İzmir lost.

The Washington Monument is a large, tall, white obelisk near the west part of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was built to remember George Washington, who was the first President of the United States.
It is the tallest stone structure in the world, and is 555 feet 5⅛ inches (169.294 m) tall.
The monument is made of marble, granite, and sandstone.
The monument was started in 1848 but was not finished until 1884.
This was because the American Civil War started soon after construction started.
Construction continued after the war ended, but the type of sandstone was changed.
Because of this, about part of the way up, you can see a change in color of the monument.
The monument opened on February 21, 1885 after 19 years total of construction.
Visitors to Washington, D.C., can tour the inside of the Washington Monument.
There is an elevator which takes people to the top.
From the top, it is possible to see the National Mall, the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Lincoln Memorial.
On Tuesday, August 23, 2011, the Monument was cracked by an earthquake.
A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck Northern Virginia, about  from Washington D.C. After inspection, cracks were found at the top of the Monument.
Initially  Monument and the plaza around it was closed indefinitely however after repair, it has been re-opened in Oct 2019, for visitors.
There were early reports that the Monument was leaning.
The National Park Service said that while there was damage, the Monument is not leaning.
