Gondar or Gonder is a city and separate woreda in Ethiopia. Situated in the Semien Gondar Zone of the Amhara Locale, Gondar is north of Tana Lake on the Lesser Angereb Stream and southwest of the Simien Mountains. Gondar filled in as a solid Christian kingdom for a long time, a religion that is still exceptionally solid in the area. 
Gondar already filled in as the capital of both the Ethiopian Domain and the ensuing Begemder Region. The city holds the remaining parts of a few imperial manors, incorporating those in Fasil Ghebbi , for which Gondar has been known as the "Camelot of Africa".

• Origin

Until the sixteenth century, the Solomonic Heads of Ethiopia as a rule had no settled capital town, however rather lived in tents in impermanent regal camps as they moved around their domains while their family, guardian and entourage ate up surplus products and chop down close-by trees for kindling. One special case to this manage was Debre Berhan, established by Zara Yaqob in 1456; Tegulet in Shewa was likewise basically the capital amid the main century of Solomonic run the show. Gondar was established by Ruler Fasilides around the year 1635, and developed as a rural and market town. There was a superstition at the time that the capital's name should start with the letter 'Gʷa', which additionally added to Gorgora's development in the hundreds of years after 1600. Convention additionally expresses that a bison drove the Ruler Fasilides to a pool close to the Angereb, where an "old and admired loner" told the Sovereign he would find his capital there. Fasilides had the pool filled in and constructed his manor on that same site. The sovereign likewise constructed a sum of seven holy places; the initial two, Fit Mikael and Fit Abbo, were worked to end neighborhood scourges. The five sovereigns who tailed him additionally assembled their royal residences in the town.
eginning with Sovereign Menas in 1559, the leaders of Ethiopia started spending the blustery season close Lake Tana, regularly coming back to a similar area every year. These camps, which thrived as urban areas for a brief span, incorporate Emfraz, Ayba, Gorgora and Dankaz. 

In 1668, because of a congregation chamber, the Sovereign Yohannes I decided that the tenants of Gondar were to be isolated by religion. This made the Muslims move into their own quarter, Islamge or Islam Bayt lit. "Islam house"), inside two years. This quarter came to be known as Addis Alem . 

Amid the seventeenth century, the city's populace is assessed to have surpassed 60,000.

By the rule of Iyasu the Incomparable, Gondar had obtained a feeling of group character; when the Sovereign called upon the occupants to desert and tail him on his crusade against the Oromo in Damot and Gojjam, as had the court and subjects of prior heads, they cannot. In spite of the fact that Gondar was by any definition a city, it was not a mixture of different customs, nor Ethiopia's window to the bigger world, as indicated by Donald Levine. "It served rather as an operator for the enlivened advancement of the Amhara's own particular culture. What's more, in this way it turned into a concentration of national pride... not as a hotbed of outsider custom and unethical behavior, as they frequently respect Addis Ababa today, yet as the absolute best encapsulation of their customary esteems." As Levine explains in a commentary, it was an orthogenetic example of improvement, as recognized from a heterogenetic one. 

The town filled in as Ethiopia's capital until the point when Tewodros moved the Majestic cash-flow to Magadala after being delegated Head in 1855 Tewodros  ravaged and consumed the city in 1864, at that point crushed it again in December, 1866. Abdallahi ibn Muhammad sacked Gondar when he attacked Ethiopia June 1887. Gondar was desolated again on 23 January in the following year, when Sudanese trespassers set fire to relatively every one of the city's holy places. 
After the military control of Ethiopia by the Kingdom of Italy in 1936, Gondar was additionally created under Italian occupation, and the Comboni ministers built up in 1937 the Latin Catholic Biblical Prefecture of Gondar, which would be stifled after its lone administrator's demise in 1951. 
Amid the Second World War, Mussolini's Italian powers made their last remain in Gondar in November 1941, after Addis Ababa tumbled to English powers a half year prior. The region of Gondar was one of the primary focuses of movement of Italian guerrilla against the English powers until summer 1943. 

Amid the Ethiopian Common War, the powers of the Ethiopian Law based Union picked up control of vast parts of Begemder, and amid parts of 1977 worked inside a couple of kilometers of Gondar, and seemed, by all accounts, to be at the purpose of catching the city. As a component of Operation Tewodros close to the finish of the Common War, Gondar was caught by the Ethiopian Individuals' Progressive Equitable Front in Walk 1991.

Haida Gwaii once in the past known as the Queen Charlotte Islands and the Charlottes, is an archipelago on the North Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Around half of its populace is Haida. 

Haida Gwaii Views

The islands are isolated from the British Columbia territory toward the east by Hecate Strait. Vancouver Island misleads the south, crosswise over Queen Charlotte Sound, while the U.S. territory of Alaska is toward the north, over the debated Dixon Entrance. 

Haida Gwaii comprises of two principle islands: Graham Island in the north and Moresby Island in the south, alongside roughly 150 littler islands with an aggregate landmass of 10,180 km2 (3,931 sq mi). Other significant islands incorporate Anthony, Langara, Louise, Lyell, Burnaby, and Kunghit Islands. A parallel name to "Ruler Charlotte Islands" utilized by American dealers, who frequented the islands in the times of the marine hide exchange and considered the islands part of the US-guaranteed Oregon Country, was Washington's Isles. 

A portion of the islands are ensured under government enactment as Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, which is generally Moresby Island (Gwaii Haanas in Haida) and abutting islands and islets. Likewise ensured, however under common enactment, are a few commonplace stops, the biggest of which is Naikoon Provincial Park on northeastern Graham Island. The islands are home to a plenitude of untamed life, including the biggest subspecies of mountain bear (Ursus americanus carlottae) and furthermore the littlest subspecies of stoat (Mustela erminea haidarum). Dark followed deer and raccoon are presented species that have turned out to be plentiful. 

On June 3, 2010, the Haida Gwaii Reconciliation Act formally renamed the islands Haida Gwaii as a major aspect of a compromise convention between British Columbia and the Haida individuals.

•     HISTORY

Haida Gwaii is considered by archeologists as a possibility for a Pacific seaside course taken by the principal people moving to the Americas from the Bering Strait. 
It is indistinct how individuals landed on Haida Gwaii; yet archeological destinations have set up human residence on the islands as far back as 13,000 years prior. 
Submerged archeologists from the College of Victoria are trying to affirm that stone structures found in 2014 on the seabed of Hecate Strait may go back at least 13,700 years prior and be the most punctual known indications of human home in Canada.

The Settlement of the Americas waterfront movement speculation proposes that the primary North Americans may have been here as the most established human stays known from The Frozen North or Canada are from On Your Knees Surrender. Anthropologists have discovered striking parallels between the myths, ceremonies, and staying sorts of the Koryaks—tenants of the Kamchatka Landmass—and those of the Local people groups of America's Northwest Drift. As of now the island was twice as expansive as today. There is solid hereditary proof for these early individuals having a cause there. The Koryaks were a matrilinear nautical individuals chasing whales and other marine warm blooded animals. Their god was Kujkynnjaku, the Raven. The greater part of the Raven myths are like those of the Koryak. 

The gathering of individuals occupying these Islands built up a culture made rich by the plenitude of the land and ocean. These individuals turned into the Haida. The Haida were a matriarchal society – the ladies settled on the choices before European disclosure. The Haida are a phonetically particular gathering, and they have a perplexing class and rank framework comprising of two fundamental factions: Hawks and Ravens. 

Connections and decent variety inside the Haida Country was increased through a cross lineal marriage framework between the groups. This framework was likewise critical for the exchange of riches inside the Country, with every group dependent on the other for the working of longhouses, the cutting of chain of commands and different things of social significance. 

Noted seafarers, the Haida possessed more than 100 towns all through the Islands. The Haida were gifted dealers, with set up exchange joins with their neighboring First Countries on the territory to California.
The archipelago was found by Europeans in 1774 by Juan Pérez, at Langara Island,and in 1778 by James Cook. In 1794, the Haida caught and sank a couple of European vessels, Ino and Determination, that were looking to exchange for ocean otter pelts. The vast majority of the boats' team were murdered. In 1851, the Haida caught the Georgiana, a ship conveying gold miners, and held its group for recover for about two months. 

The islands assumed an imperative part amid the sea hide exchange time of the late eighteenth and mid nineteenth hundreds of years. Amid the vast majority of that time the exchange the islands was ruled by Americans. The Oregon Arrangement of 1846 put a conclusion to American cases to the islands. Following the disclosure of gold in the 1850s the English tried endeavors to avoid whatever American regional cases may remain. 

The Province of the Ruler Charlotte Islands was an English state constituting the archipelago of a similar name from 1853 to July 1863, when it was amalgamated into the Settlement of English Columbia. 

The Province of the Ruler Charlotte Islands was made by the Frontier Office in light of the expansion in American marine exchanging movement coming about because of the gold rush on Moresby Island in 1851. 

No different organization or capital for the province was ever settled, as its exclusive officer or deputy was James Douglas, who was all the while Legislative head of Vancouver Island. Basically, the state was converged with the Vancouver Island province for managerial purposes from the 1850s to 1866 when the Settlement of Vancouver Island was converged with the terrain, which until the point when that point was the different Settlement of English Columbia.

• Geology    

The islands are situated along the Ruler Charlotte Blame, a dynamic change blame that produces noteworthy tremors each 3– 30 years. This is the consequence of the focalizing of the Pacific and North American Plates along the archipelago's west drift. Real tremors have happened in the Haida Gwaii in 1949 and 2012. In spite of the fact that the area is inclined to reasonable land action, there is little framework set up to accumulate precise data to caution local people of conceivable dangers. Numerous occupants, remarkably from First Countries people group, have been condemning of the way that they should depend on data originating from neighboring American states, for example, Washington or Gold country and from the USGS . Despite the irregularities, Condition Canada does consistently do handle tests over the Pacific bank of English Columbia identifying with this issue.
The Cascadia subduction zone poses some extra seismic tremor dangers, yet in particular the subduction zone postures guide torrent dangers to the beach front settlements on the western side of the islands.

• Enviroment  

Albeit no mammoth or mastodon fossils were discovered, the examination found compost eating parasites underground in antiquated peat by the Cape Ball site in Naikoon Common Stop on Graham Island. The tundra-like scene at that point advanced to a blend of snow capped backwoods and glades.
The last Pleistocene glaciation subsided from the archipelago around 16,000 BCE, around 2,000 years sooner than whatever is left of the English Columbia Drift's ice age . That, and its resulting disengagement from the territory, empowered Haida indigenous and natural activists in the 1970s to utilize the expression "Galápagos of the North", a remarkable biocultural zone with numerous endemic plants and creatures. The atmosphere of this calm north half of the globe forested district, similar to that of a great part of the English Columbia and Alaskan drift in the territory, is directed by the North Pacific Current, with overwhelming precipitation and generally gentle temperatures consistently.
The islands are home to the Ta'an Timberland, with a wide assortment of vast endemic trees, including the Sitka spruce, western red cedar, yellow cedar (Nootka cypress), shore pine, western hemlock, mountain hemlock, and red birch. The Verdure of the Ruler Charlotte Islands portrays plants from the islands.
Soils are variable. Peat is normal in ineffectively depleted pads and even on slanting ground in the wetter regions. Where waste is great, the develop soils are podzols which have exemplary improvement (very much characterized eluvial skyline, Ae under Canadian order) in undisturbed zones. A background marked by unsettling influence, as from logging or windthrow, sees the Ae blended with different skylines and just patchily unmistakable. Kiidk'yaas (Brilliant Spruce), a normally happening hereditary variation yellow-shading Sitka spruce tree, was close to the Yakoun Stream, the biggest on Graham Island. It was a mainstream vacation spot until the point when it was unlawfully chopped down in 1997 as a challenge against the mechanical logging rehearses.
From the spring of 1996 until November 30, 1997 a prevalent fascination for sightseers to the islands was the male pale skinned person 'White Raven'. He lived around Port Clements and would regularly be seen grasping sustenance presents from local people and guests alike. He kicked the bucket in the wake of reaching an electrical transformer. The White Raven was protected by previous Port Clements occupants, taxidermists Roger Britten Sr. also, Jr., and is in plain view in the Port Clements Recorded Society's exhibition hall.               

sodwana bay

Sodwana Bay is a bay in South Africa which is situated on the KwaZulu Natal coast, between St. Lucia and Lake Sibhayi.Sodwana Bay National Park is a narrow strip of forested sand dunes located along the east coast. Proclaimed a national park in the 1950s, it is frequented by anglers and divers.

Sodwana is situated in the Maputaland Marine Reserve and the only scuba diving area along the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park (now renamed to iSimangaliso) coastline. Classified as one of the top dive sites in the world this 50 km reef complex boasts around 95 species of hard and soft coral, sponges, other invertebrates and around 1200 fish species. It attracts 35 000 scuba divers every year. Vast 700m deep valleys, submarine canyons, are strewn over a distance of 2 km. It was in one of these that on 27 November 2000 that the coelacanth was rediscovered.

Although it is believed that in recent years fish species have declined significantly in this area of the South African coast, nothing could be further from the truth. Sailfish, king mackerel and all other pelagic species of game fish especially the kingfish migrate south down the east coast of Africa and since the activities of sea pirates off the coast of north east Africa healthy populations of pelagic game fish again reach all the way south off the coast of South Africa which has again properly re-established Sodwana as a favored and popular sport fishing destination. Sailfish are again in abundance and present in large numbers since it seems that the sea pirates off Somalia have driven away the foreign illegal Far Eastern commercial fishing trawlers.

The bay is famous for visits by endangered marine megafauna including whale sharks, great white sharks, hammerhead sharks, blacktip sharks, manta rays, orange-spotted groupers, potato cods, critically endangered leatherback turtles, loggerhead sea turtles, and even coelacanths, the 'living fossil' appear. The discovery of presences of Coelacanths made the region world-famous.

Whale watching targeting migratory or resident cetaceans is growing. Bottlenose dolphins live here and have been observed to swim with whale sharks rather regularly. Humpback whales migrate here during winter to spring seasons while southern right whales and other species are less common due to respective recovery statuses that were severely damaged by illegal hunts by Soviet Union and Japan in 1960s to 70s. Orcas are also present in the bay waters.

In the March 2011 issue of National Geographic, a short article titled Ancient Swimmers appeared, discussing the groundbreaking discovery of elusive coelacanths in the depths of Sodwana Bay and the surrounding area. A small section of the written article explains that:

"Since this chance sighting, Latimeria chalumnae have been found in several pockets in and around the Indian Ocean. No one knows how many there are - maybe as few as 1,000 or as many as 10, 000. Because of the depth of their habitat, they have mainly been photographed by submersibles and remotely operated vehicles. Divers first documented the fish  in 2000; in January and February 2010, a specially trained team dived to take pictures of small colony in Sodwana Bay, South Africa."

As a part of the continent of Africa, the land areas along the coasts are rich in terrestrial animals, too. the iSimangaliso Wetland Park was declared and various species such as lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, rhinos are known to live here.

Wellsprings Monastery is one of the biggest and best safeguarded destroyed Cistercian cloisters in Britain. It is found around 3 miles (5 kilometers) south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, close to the town of Aldfield. Established in 1132, the monastery worked for a long time getting to be plainly one

of the wealthiest religious communities in Britain until its disintegration in 1539 under the request of Henry VIII.
The convent is a Review I recorded building claimed by the National Trust and part of the assigned Studley Imperial Stop including the Remnants of Wellsprings Monastery UNESCO World Legacy Site.

                                            ADNATION

In 1146 a furious swarm, irritated at Murdac for his part in contradicting the decision of William FitzHerbert as diocese supervisor of York, assaulted the monastery and torched everything except the congregation and some encompassing structures. The people group recuperated quickly from the assault and established four little girl houses. Henry Murdac surrendered as abbot in 1147 after turning into the Ecclesiastical overseer of York and was supplanted first by Maurice, Abbot of Rievaulx at that point, on the acquiescence of Maurice, by Thorald. Thorald was constrained by Henry Murdac to leave following two years in office. The following abbot, Richard, held the post until his passing in 1170 and reestablished the convent's strength and thriving. In 20 years as abbot, he administered a colossal building program which included finishing repairs to the harmed church and building more settlement for the expanding number of enlisted people. Just the section house was finished before he passed on and the work was capably proceeded by his successor, Robert of Pipewell, under whose run the monastery picked up a notoriety for watching over the poor.

The following abbot was William, who managed the nunnery from 1180 to 1190 and he was prevailing by Ralph Haget, who had entered Wellsprings at 30 years old as a tenderfoot, subsequent to seeking after a military vocation. Amid the European starvation of 1194 Haget requested the development of asylums in the region of the monastery and gave every day nourishment proportions to the poor upgrading the convent's notoriety for administering to poor people and drawing in more allows from well off advocates.

In the primary portion of the thirteenth century Wellsprings expanded in notoriety and flourishing under the following three abbots, John of York (1203– 1211), John of Hessle (1211– 1220) and John of Kent (1220– 1247). They were troubled with an unnecessary measure of regulatory obligations and expanding requests for cash in tax assessment and demands yet figured out how to finish another huge development of the convent's structures. This included growing the congregation and building a hospital.

After Henry Murdac was chosen abbot in 1143, the little stone church and timber claustral structures were supplanted. Inside three years, an aisled nave had been added to the stone church, and the primary perpetual claustral structures worked in stone and roofed in tile had been finished.
In the second 50% of the thirteenth century the monastery was in more straitened conditions. It was managed by eleven abbots, and turned out to be fiscally flimsy to a great extent due to forward offering its fleece edit, and the monastery was reprimanded for its desperate material and physical state when it was gone to by Diocese supervisor John le Romeyn in 1294. The keep running of catastrophes that came to pass for the group proceeded into the mid fourteenth century when northern Britain was attacked by the Scots and there were further requests for charges. The climax of these adversities was the Dark Passing of 1348– 1349. The loss of labor and salary because of the assaults of the torment was relatively ruinous.

A further confusion emerged because of the Ecclesiastical Faction of 1378– 1409. Wellsprings Nunnery alongside other English Cistercian houses was reprimanded to break any contact with the mother place of Citeaux, which upheld an opponent pope. This brought about the abbots shaping their own particular section to control the request in Britain and subsequently they turned out to be progressively associated with internecine legislative issues. In 1410, after the demise of Abbot Burley of Wellsprings, the group was riven by quite a long while of turmoil over the race of his successor. Fighting hopefuls John Ripon, Abbot of Meaux, and Roger Candid, a priest of Wellsprings were secured strife until 1415 when Ripon was at last designated, managing until his demise in 1434. Under abbots John Greenwell (1442– 1471), Thomas Swinton (1471– 8), John Darnton (1478– 95), who embraced some genuinely necessary rebuilding of the texture of the monastery, including striking work on the congregation, and Marmaduke Huby (1495– 1526) Wellsprings recaptured solidness and prosperity.[citation needed]

At Abbot Huby's passing he was prevailing by William Thirsk who was blamed by the imperial magistrates for unethical behavior and insufficiency and was rejected as abbot. He was supplanted by Marmaduke Bradley, a priest of the monastery who had announced Thirsk's assumed offenses, affirmed against him and offered the specialists six hundred imprints for the post of abbot. In 1539 it was Bradley who surrendered the monastery when its seizure was requested under Henry VIII at the Disintegration of the Monasteries.[

                                       
                                                    ENDOWMENT
After a question and mob in 1132 at the Benedictine place of St Mary's Nunnery, in York, 13 priests were removed (among them Holy person Robert of Newminster) and, after unsuccessful endeavors to frame another religious community were taken under the assurance of Thurstan, Diocese supervisor of York. He furnished them with arrive in the valley of the Waterway Skell, a tributary of the Ure. The encased valley had all the regular highlights required for the production of a religious community, giving sanctuary from the climate, stone and timber for building, and a supply of running water. In the wake of persevering through a brutal winter in 1133, the priests connected to join the Cistercian arrange which since the finish of the earlier century was a quickly developing change development that by the start of the thirteenth century was to have more than 500 houses. So it was that in 1135, Wellsprings turned into the second Cistercian house in northern Britain, after Rievaulx. The Wellsprings priests ended up plainly subject to Clairvaux Nunnery, in Burgundy which was under the govern of St Bernard. Under the direction of Geoffrey of Ainai, a priest sent from Clairvaux, the gathering figured out how to commend the seven Standard Hours as per Cistercian use and were demonstrated to develop wooden structures as per Cistercian rehearse.

                                                   STRUCTURES

The convent region secured 70 sections of land (28 ha) encompassed by a 11-foot (3.4 m) divider worked in the thirteenth century, a few sections of which are unmistakable toward the south and west

Bulding Panoramics

of the monastery. The region comprises of three concentric zones cut by the Waterway Skell spilling out of west to east over the site. The congregation and claustral structures remain at the focal point of the area north of the Skell, the internal court containing the household structures extends down to the stream and the external court lodging the modern and farming structures lies on the waterway's south bank. The early monastery structures were added to and changed after some time, causing deviations from the strict Cistercian write. Outside the dividers were the convent's granges.

The first nunnery church was worked of wood and "was likely" two stories high; it was, be that as it may, immediately supplanted in stone. The congregation was harmed in the assault on the convent in 1146 and was reconstructed, in a bigger scale, on a similar site. Building work was finished c.1170. This structure, finished around 1170, was 300 ft (91 m) long and had 11 narrows in the side passageways.
