Victoria is the capital and largest city of Seychelles, situated on the north-eastern side of Mahé island, the archipelago's main island. The city was first established as the seat of the British colonial government. In 2010, the population of Greater Victoria was 26,450 out of the country's total population of 90,945; the area that would become Victoria was settled in 1778 by French colonists after they claimed the island in 1756. The town was called L'Établissement until 1841 when it was renamed to Victoria by the British, after Queen Victoria. Tourism is an important sector of the economy; the principal exports of Victoria are vanilla, coconut oil and guano. The Mont Fleuri campus of the University of Seychelles is in Victoria. Attractions in the city include a clocktower modelled on Little Ben in London, the courthouse, the Botanical Gardens, the National Museum of History, the Natural History Museum and the Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market. Victoria Market and the brightly coloured fish and fruit markets is the local hot spot for the Seychellois people.

Victoria is served by Seychelles International Airport, completed in 1971; the inner harbour lies east of the town, where tuna fishing and canning is a major industry. One of the largest bridges in Victoria was destroyed by tsunami waves from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Eight of the districts of Seychelles are in Victoria.

However, since in no month does the average monthly precipitation falls below 60 mm in Victoria, the city does not have a true dry season month. This lack of a true dry season month is a primary reason why the climate falls under the tropical rainforest climate category; the capital averages about 2,000 mm of precipitation annually. Although being rainy, skies are clear to clear and cloudy days remain scarce throughout the year during the rainiest months.

Sri Shiva Mailar Mallanna Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Khandoba. It is situated on the Bidar-Udgir Road, 15 km from Bidar, India. Said temple is located within the Vijayanagara empire; some of the languages spoken during this time were Kannada and Tamil. The temple's origin is connected with the demon Mallasur and his younger brother Manikasur, who gained the boon of invincibility from Brahma, creating chaos on the earth and harassing the sages; when the seven sages approached Shiva for protection after Indra and Vishnu confessed their incapability, Shiva assumed the form of Martanda Bhairava, as the Mahatmya calls Mallanna, riding the Nandi bull, leading an army of the gods. Martanda Bhairava is described as shining like the golden sun, covered in turmeric and appearing with three-eyes and a crescent moon on his forehead; the demon army was slaughtered by the gods and Khandoba killed Malla and Mani. While dying, Malla offered his white horse to Khandoba as an act of repentance and asked for a favor—that he be present in every shrine of Khandoba.

Thus, this temple is called Sri Shiva Mailari Mallanna Temple. The Mailar Mallanna Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Khandoba, it is situated on the Bidar-Udgir Road, 15 km from Bidar, India. The main day of worship is believed to be Sunday. Near the temple, trading takes place, they trade animals such as goats and cows. Devotees visit this temple to seek fulfillment of salvation, knowledge, purchase of vehicles and relief of diseases; this temple attracts millions of tourists and is beautiful to view. Vijayanagara's kings adopted deities and ritual practices and their sacred images were transported from distant areas to the capital; as new temples were constructed new sculptures were carved with one of them being Mailar. Mailar had a long history in South India but had been a regional God, worshipped by rural communities and pastorals. Sacred text suggest that this fierce protester deity began to be elevated from a regional folk deity associated with warriors, to a more widespread deity linked to Vijayanagara.

One of these texts depicts Mailar as "king on earth" worshipped by many Muslims. When deities were elevated in status it meant they were farce gods with warrior attributes and protectors. Famous in the North Karnataka area, the temple attracts millions of devotees from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh annually; the temple's main priest belongs to the Kurubas community. On Sunday, the principle worship day, the trading of goats, sheep and other animals takes place nearby. Devotees visit this temple to seek fulfillment of salvation, health and knowledge. Homa, or a fire offering, is common practice before performing Rudrabhishek; some of the offerings include seeds along with other materials. The holy bath of the Shivling is done after the fire offering; this is one of the most strengthening forms of worship. This cleanses, brings happiness, wealth and success to devotees. Devotees are offered a drink after the holy bath; the devotees journey to the temple is the individual's separation from his or her old identity or position in society.

The actual act of washing the Shivling is the liminal state in the process. The final stage in the passage is the journey the devotee takes on while on his way home to enter society with a new identity, it is believed that performing Redrabhishek will help an individual's success in life. Hinduism believes that reality or truth cannot be encapsulated in a creedal form, but instead needs to be sought out from various sources, the holly bath being one of them; these rites of passage stages are derived from Van Gennep's. He states. Architectural temples were an important part of Vijayanagara society. Sacred temples incorporated a range of regional architectural traditions that reflected those of Southern Deccan where the capital was located. Individual is physically touchable. An example of Individual when it comes to the Temple is Khandoba. Khandoba could be seen as an individual because it was he the individual who killed Mani. Self is established by experience as the key concept along with continuity.

Malla is an example of self. Malla what he had done, such as causing chaos. Looking back upon his negative actions made him to decide to offer Khandoba his white horse; this act of offering his white horse was a sign of repentance. Malla offered his white horse in order for his spirit to be welcomed in the temple. Person is defined as one's relationship to others. An example of self would be Shiva's part in the representation of the temple because he is the god people reach to in order to feel protected. To the people, Shiva represents t

Lahovče is a village in the Municipality of Cerklje na Gorenjskem in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. Lahovče is a clustered village along Reka Creek; the intermittent channel of Voje Creek lies above the village to the northeast. Both creeks are tributaries of the Pšata River; the part of the village near the inn is named Pod Budno. Fields surround the village and are known by microtoponyms; the soil is fertile. The name Lahovče is derived from the root Lah, today usually'Italian' but meaning'pre-Slavic settler'; the latter meaning is the source of the name, referring to a village inhabited at one time by non-Slovenes. Roman pitchers and urns were found in Kalvarija Meadow south of the village at the beginning of the 20th century, testifying to early settlement of the area. During the Second World War, four Partisans were killed on 4 October 1944 in the Cerklje Plain. A monument commemorating the men stands in front of the village church. In 1966, Britannia Airways Flight 105 crashed in the woods outside Lahovče, killing 98 of the 117 passengers and crew.

This is still the worst aircraft crash in Slovenia ever. The local church belongs to the Parish of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, it dates from the 17th century and was renovated in 1830. Lahovče Pond lies north of the village. Fishing is possible in the pond year round, it is used for other recreational activities; the locals use it for summer or winter gatherings.

The Siege of Fort Vincennes was a Revolutionary War frontier battle fought in present-day Vincennes, Indiana won by a militia led by American commander George Rogers Clark over a British garrison led by Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton. Half of Clark's militia were Canadien volunteers sympathetic to the American cause. After a daring wintertime march, the small American force was able to force the British to surrender the fort and in a larger frame the Illinois territory. On January 29, 1779 Francis Vigo, an Italian fur trader, came to Kaskaskia to inform Clark about Hamilton's reoccupation of Vincennes. Clark decided that he needed to launch a surprise winter attack on Vincennes before Hamilton could recapture the Illinois country in the spring, he wrote to Governor Henry: I know the case is desperate. No time is to be lost. Were I sure of a reinforcement, I should not attempt it. Who knows what fortune will do for us? Great things have been affected by a few men well conducted. We may be fortunate.

We have this consolation, that our cause is just, that our country will be grateful and not condemn our conduct in case we fall through. If we fail, the Illinois as well as Kentucky, I believe, is lost. On February 5, 1779, Clark set out for Vincennes with Captain Bowman, his second-in-command, 170 men, nearly half of them French volunteers from the village of Kaskaskia in the Illinois Country. In a letter to his friend and mentor George Mason, Clark described his feeling for the journey as one of "forlorn hope," as his small force was faced with a long journey over land, "in many parts flowing with water." While Clark and his men marched across country, 40 men left in an armed row-galley, to be stationed on the Wabash River below Vincennes to prevent the British from escaping by water. Clark led his men across what is now the state of a journey of about 180 miles. Clark remembered that the weather was "wet, but not cold for the season" but found "a great part of the plains under water several inches deep."

This made the men's march "difficult and fatiguing." Provisions were carried on packhorses supplemented by wild game the men shot. They reached the Little Wabash River on 13 February and found it flooded, making a stream about 5 miles wide, they built a large canoe to shuttle supplies across. The next few days were trying: provisions were running low, the men were continually wading through water, they reached the Embarras River on February 17. They were now only 9 miles from Fort Sackville but the river was too high to ford, they followed the Embarrass down to the Wabash River. Spirits were low: they had been without food for the last two days, Clark struggled to keep men from deserting. Clark wrote that "I conducted myself in such a manner that caused the whole to believe that I had no doubt of success, which kept their spirits up." So, a February 20 entry in Captain Bowman's Field Journal describes the men in camp as "very quiet but hungry. By February 22, Bowman reports. Lord help us!" and that "Those that were weak and famished from so much fatigue went in the canoes" as they marched towards toward Vincennes.

On February 20, five hunters from Vincennes were captured while traveling by boat. They told Clark that his little army had not yet been detected, that the people of Vincennes were still sympathetic to the Americans; the next day and his men crossed the Wabash by canoe, leaving their packhorses behind. They marched towards Vincennes, sometimes in water up to their shoulders; the last few days were the hardest: crossing a flooded plain about 4 miles wide, they used the canoes to shuttle the weary from high point to high point. Shortly before reaching Vincennes, they captured a villager known to be a friend, who informed Clark that they were still unsuspected. Clark sent the man ahead with a letter to the inhabitants of Vincennes, warning them that he was just about to arrive with an army and that everyone should stay in their homes unless they wanted to be considered an enemy; the message was read in the public square. No one went to the fort to warn Hamilton. Clark and his men marched into Vincennes at sunset on 23 February, entering the town in two divisions, one commanded by Clark and the other by Bowman.

Taking advantage of a slight elevation of land which concealed his men but allowed their flags to be seen, Clark maneuvered his troops to create the impression that 1,000 men were approaching. While Clark and Bowman secured the town, a detachment was sent to begin firing at Fort Sackville after their wet black powder was replaced by local resident François Busseron. Father Pierre Gibault convinced residents to support the American cause. Despite the commotion, Hamilton did not realize the fort was under attack until one of his men was wounded by a bullet coming through a window. Clark had his men build an entrenchment 200 yards in front of the fort's gate. While militia fired at the fort throughout the night, small squads crept up to within 30 yards of the walls to get a closer shot; the British fired their cannon, destroying a few houses in the city but doing little damage to the besiegers. Clark's men silenced the cannon by firing through the fort's portholes and wounding some of the gunners.

Meanwhile, Clark received local help: villagers gave him powder and ammunition they had hidden from the British, Young Tobacco, a Piankeshaw chief, offered to have his 100
