City of Luxembourg: its Old Quarters and Fortifications - Luxembourg
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/699Because of its strategic position, Luxembourg was, from the 16th century until 1867, when its walls were dismantled, one of Europe's greatest fortified sites. It was repeatedly reinforced as it passed from one great European power to another: the Holy Roman Emperors, the House of Burgundy, the Habsburgs, the French and Spanish kings, and finally the Prussians. Until their partial demolition, the fortifications were a fine example of military architecture spanning several centuries. 2024-04-... WHS Apr 28, 2024, 7:38 AM cowpoke

The author advised the aspiring writers in the crowd to develop an authoritative voice by sticking to subjects within their ken [kɛn]. // [beyond/outside/within one’s ken.] [It is beyond my ken!]ken [kɛn]
noun
Ken refers to someone’s range of perception, knowledge, or understanding, and is most often used in phrases like
- [beyond/outside/within one’s ken.]
Need a word that can encompass all that one perceives, understands, or knows? It’s just ken. So when someone says something is “beyond” it, the topic or question at hand is beyond their particular range of knowledge or expertise.
Ken in the 16th century: the distance bounding the range of ordinary vision at sea. English Apr 28, 2024, 7:31 AM cowpoke
