Ouidah (dříve také Whydah, Hweda nebo Ajudá) je město v Beninu (departement Atlantique). Žije v něm okolo 86 000 obyvatel.[2] Leží na pobřeží Guinejského zálivu 60 km západně od hlavního města Porto Novo. Obyvatelé žijí převážně z obchodu, cizineckého ruchu, výroby palmového oleje a z tabákového průmyslu.

Historie

Od šestnáctého století bylo místo pro svoji výhodnou polohu centrem obchodu s otroky. Domorodci z kmene Aja zde vytvořili bohaté království Whydah, založené na kultu posvátné krajty. Stát zanikl v roce 1727, kdy jeho území ovládlo Dahomejské království.[3] Portugalci založili roku 1721 pevnost Jana Křtitele, kterou drželi až do roku 1961.[4] Poslední otrokářská loď z místního přístavu odplula v roce 1860.

Ouidah patří k hlavním beninským turistickým centrům, je známé kulturními akcemi (filmový festival a největší světové setkání vyznavačů vodun), historickým muzeem a řadou památek: katolická bazilika Neposkvrněného početí, Hadí chrám, posvátný les Kpassè, galerie domorodého umění a pomník obětem otrokářství nazvaný Brána bez návratu.[5] Zdejší Stezka otroctví byla navržena na seznam Světové dědictví.

The public house the roundabout is named after. Treacle Mine Roundabout[1] is a suburban roundabout[2] between Grays and Stifford Clays, Essex, England.

In the hyperbolic plane, as in the Euclidean plane, each point can be uniquely identified by two real numbers. Several qualitatively different ways of coordinatizing the plane in hyperbolic geometry are used. This article tries to give an overview of several coordinate systems in use for the two-dimensional hyperbolic plane. In the descriptions below the constant Gaussian curvature of the plane is −1. Sinh, cosh and tanh are hyperbolic functions. Polar coordinate system Points in the p...
