Lanvin () is a French luxury fashion house based in Paris. Founded in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, it is the oldest French fashion house still in operation. Since 2018, it has been a subsidiary of Shanghai-based Lanvin Group. Bruno Sialelli, a 31-year-old French designer, was named Creative Director of Lanvin in January 2019.

History

The House of Lanvin was named after its founder Jeanne Lanvin in 1889. Lanvin was born in 1867 and opened her first millinery shop in rue du Marche Saint Honore in 1885.

Lanvin made clothes for her daughter, Marie-Blanche de Polignac, which began to attract the attention of a number of wealthy people, who requested copies for their own children. Soon, Lanvin was making dresses for their mothers, which were included in the clientele of her new boutique on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Paris. In 1909, Lanvin joined the Syndicat de la Couture, which marked her formal status as a couturière.

The Lanvin logo was inspired by a photograph taken for Jeanne Lanvin as she attended a ball with her daughter wearing matching outfits in 1907. As stated by Alber Elbaz, “It's not a lion, and it's not a horse. It's a mother and a daughter, I find the logo very emotional."

From 1923, the Lanvin empire included a dye factory in Nanterre. In the 1920s, Lanvin opened shops devoted to home decor, menswear, furs and lingerie, but her most significant expansion was the creation of Lanvin Parfums SA in 1924. "My Sin", an animalic-aldehyde based on heliotrope, was introduced in 1925, and is widely considered a unique fragrance. It would be followed by her signature fragrance, Arpège, in 1927, said to have been inspired by the sound of her daughter's practising her scales on the piano.

After Jeanne Lanvin
When Lanvin died in 1946, ownership of the firm was ceded to her daughter Marguerite, who had shared management of the firm from 1942 with a cousin and then a fashion-industry expert. Because Marie-Blanche de Polignac was childless when she died in 1958, the ownership of the House of Lanvin went to a cousin, Yves Lanvin.

From mid-1960s through to the 1996 takeover by L'Oreal, Lanvin was run by Bernard Lanvin.
The export department was in the original factory in Nanterre where all the perfumes were made and bottled. The administrative Head Office was in Paris.
In 1979, Lanvin bought its independence from Squibb USA and a major PR promotional tour was arranged by Paris in the United States in the same year.

Midland Bank bought a stake in the company from the family in March 1989, and installed Léon Bressler to revamp the firm's faded image. However, in February 1990, Midland backed out and sold Lanvin to Orcofi, a French holding company led by the Vuitton family. From Orcofi, 50% of the House of Lanvin was acquired by L'Oréal in 1994, 66% in 1995 and 100% in 1996. Under L'Oréal's diverse umbrella, an array of CEOs who circulate within the French fashion industry directed the company.

Majority owned by Harmonie S.A., 2001–2018
In August 2001, Lanvin  was taken private again by investor group Harmonie S.A., headed by Shaw-Lan Wang, a Taiwanese media magnate. Wang bought out other investors in 2003.

In 2005, Joix Corporatic became the Lanvin ready-to-wear licence holder in Japan with retail value of €50 million. In Japan, Lanvin clothes are sold under a license owned by conglomerate Itochu, which held 5 percent in the company and in 2007 made an estimated $280 million in sales from Lanvin-branded clothes, more than the couture house made itself.  In 2007, Wang sold Lanvin's perfumes unit to France's Interparfums for 22 million euros, leaving the group without one of the traditional industry vehicles for brand development. That same year, Lanvin moved into profit for the first time in decades.

On 4 December 2009, Lanvin opened their first US boutique in Bal Harbour, Florida.

In 2011, Lanvin sales reached €203 million, not counting an estimated €4.5 million in revenues from licences. In 2012, Lanvin realized a capital increase of 17.5 million euros as entrepreneur Ralph Bartel increased his stake to 25 percent from 12.5 percent.

On 20 November 2013, Lanvin became the official tailor of Arsenal FC.

On 28 October 2015, Lanvin announced that Elbaz was no longer at the company, due to differences of opinion with the shareholders. He was replaced by Bouchra Jarrar in March 2016. Jarrar left the following year and was succeeded by Olivier Lapidus, who departed on 23 March 2018, after only two seasons. Lapidus' successor was not named upon his exit.

Majority owned by Fosun, 2018–present
In February 2018, Shanghai-based conglomerate Fosun International became the controlling stakeholder in Lanvin when it acquired shares worth €120 million from Wang and Ralph Bartel, who owned 75 per cent and 25 per cent of Arpège SAS, the holding company that owns the “Lanvin” name. After the acquisition, Lanvin appointed Jean-Philippe Hecquet as CEO; Hecquet stepped down in March 2020 after only 18 months. Joann Cheng, chairman of Lanvin's parent company and head of the board of directors of Lanvin, became interim CEO. Fosun Fashion Group was renamed Lanvin Group in October 2021 as the company pursues acquisitions to build a global portfolio of luxury brands. In 2023, Lanvin was listed on the New York Stock Exchange at a transaction value of $1.3 billion.

Creative directors since 2001

Alber Elbaz
In October 2001, Alber Elbaz was appointed the Lanvin artistic director for all activities, including interiors. In 2006, he introduced new packaging for the fashion house, featuring a forget-me-not flower color, Lanvin's favorite shade which she purportedly saw in a Fra Angelico fresco (Suzy Menkes, 2005.).
On 2 September 2010, it was announced by H&M that Lanvin would be their guest designer collaboration for the Winter 2010 collection. The collection would be available to view beginning 4 November 2010 at HM.com. The collection would then be available to buy in 200 stores worldwide, on 20 November, with a first look sale the day before exclusively at the H&M store in Las Vegas. The main face of the collection video was supermodel Natasha Poly.

Lucas Ossendrijver

In 2006, Lucas Ossendrijver was appointed the head of the men's line. The 2006 men's ready-to-wear collection was inspired by a Jean-Luc Godard film. He launched the first LANVIN urban sneakers, now with their patent leather toe caps, while presenting his AW 2006 collections; the shoes later became available in women’s collections. While enjoying a revitalized reputation in luxury, Lanvin received mainstream press in the United States in May 2009 when Michelle Obama was photographed wearing a popular line of Lanvin's sneakers made of suede with grosgrain ribbon laces and metallic pink toe caps while volunteering at a Washington, D.C. food bank. The sneaker shoes were reportedly retailed at $540.

Bouchra Jarrar
Bouchra Jarrar was appointed as Creative Director by Lanvin in March 2016. In 2017, and with the preparation of only two ready-to-wear collections, Jarar stepped down from her position. Upon her departure, Lanvin released the following statement: "Lanvin and Bouchra Jarrar have mutually decided to put an end to their collaboration".

Bruno Sialelli
French designer Bruno Sialelli was named the new creative director of Lanvin in January 2019. Lanvin revealed in a statement that Sialelli's appointment marks a "pivotal new direction". Sialelli had worked with Jonathan Anderson at Spanish brand Loewe prior to the appointment and was presumed to be facing "great pressure to turn things around for the maison."

Lifau is a village and suco in the East Timor exclave of Oecusse District. The village is located west of the mouth of the Tono River. 1,938 people live in the suco.

History
Lifau was the first European settlement on the island of Timor. Dominican brothers carried on missionary work on the north coast of Timor after 1556. In 1641 they arrived at Lifau and baptized the royal family of Ambeno. A permanent Portuguese settlement arose in the 1650s, as many Portuguese moved from their old colonial seat Larantuka on Flores to Timor in response to the Dutch colonial settlement in Kupang in westernmost Timor (1653). Lifau remained the centre for Portuguese colonial activities for more than a century, and was headed by a governor after 1702. In 1769 the colonial capital was moved to Dili due to military aggression from the Eurasian Topasses who opposed the politics of the governor. After this date the place lost its significance, since the Topasses preferred to keep their residence in Pante Macassar further to the east.

Mimetes cucullatus is an evergreen shrub with several, mostly not branching, upright stems of 1–2 m (3–7 ft) high, that has been assigned to the family Proteaceae. It is the most widespread and most common pagoda species that can cope with a relatively large range of environmental circumstances. It is known under several names including common pagoda in English and rooistompie in Afrikaans.

Description
Mimetes cucullatus is an evergreen, upright shrub of 1–2 m (3–7 ft) high, that has a firm woody tuber in the ground, from which several stems rise. These stems are upright, 3–8 mm (0.12–0.32 in) thick, mostly not branching but occasionally forking, initially covered in grey felty hair, but this tends to wear off with age. The leaves are alternately set along the stems, very narrow to broad elliptic or inverted egg-shaped, 2½–5½ cm (1–2¼ in) long and ½–2 cm (0.2–0.8 in) wide. Young growth is scarlet coloured, turning green lower down the stem. The leaves that subtend the flower heads are inverted fiddle-shaped in outline, folded backwards from the midline out, and during flowering are scarlet in the upper parts, gradually turning through yellowish to green at the base or entirely yellowish with a green base or softly orange.

The inflorescence that consists of many flower heads in the axils of the highest leaves on the stem is cylindric in shape and 6–10 cm (2½–4 in) long and 4–7 cm (1⅔–2 in) in diameter, topped by a tuft of smallish, more or less upright, narrowly egg-shaped, scarlet coloured leaves. Each flower head contains four to seven flowers and is subtended by a leaf that is fiddle-shaped in outline and the side bent away from the stem as to cowl over the lower flower head. These leaves are mostly scarlet with some yellow and green at the very base or more rarely entirely yellow with the very base green, while intermediate soft orange forms also occur in the same populations. These leaves have an entire margin or have three teeth near their tips. The bracts that encircle the flower heads are unequal in size, clasp the base of the flowers tidily, fringed by a rim of silky hairs, and together form a two-lipped involucre. The bracts below the attachment of the flowers are ellipse-shaped with a pointy tip, larger, 1½–3 cm (0.6–1.2 in) long and 3–12 mm (0.12–0.48 in) wide. The bract above the attachment of the flower heads are smaller, lance-shaped with a pointy tip, 8–10 mm (0.32–0.40 in) long and 1½–3 mm (0.06–0.12 in) wide.

The bract subtending the individual flower is linear with a pointy tip to awl-shaped and 6–10 mm (0.24–0.40 in) long. The 4-merous perianth is 3½–4 cm (1.4–1.6 in) long and curved in the bud. The lower part, that remains merged when the flower is open, is hairless, inflated, and about 1 mm (0.04 in) long. The middle part (or claws), are each about 10 mm (0.4 in) wide, line-shaped, powdery to thinly silky hairy. The upper part (or limbs), which enclosed the pollen presenter in the bud, are line-shaped with a pointy tip, difficult to differentiate from te claws and densely silky hairy. From the centre of the perianth emerges a style of 4½–5 cm (1.8–2.0 in) long. The thickened part at the tip of the style called pollen presenter is line to awl-shaped, 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long, with a ring-shaped thickening at its base, a sharply pointy tip and the sigmatic groove across the middle. The oval ovary is densely silky hairy, about 1 mm long (0.04 in) subtended by four fleshy awl-shaped scales.

Differences with related species
Mimetes cucullatus and Mimetes fimbriifolius differ from all other pagoda species by the gullet-type flower head. It functions in the same way as Acanthus and many Scrophulariaceae and Lamiaceae flowers. The bracts at the side of the stem are smaller, those in sight from the side are enlarged, while the leaf that is subtending the flower head above forms a brightly coloured hood. When the flowers open, the styles grow longer, break free from the perianth, and are pressed in the overhead leaf.

M. fimbriifolius can easily be distinguished from M. cucullatus by its branching, tree-like habit, the fringe of white hairs along the edge of the leaves, and the longer leaves of 4–7 cm long in M. fimbriifolius. M. cucullatus is a shrub with not or shyly branching stems that individually emerge from the ground, and the shorter leaves of 2½–5½ cm long lack a fringe of hairs.

Taxonomy
The common pagoda was first mentioned by Leonard Plukenet in his Opera 2 (Amalgest.) of 1696, in which he describes it as Leucadendros Africana, s. Scolymocephalus, angustiori folio, apicibus tridentatis [African white tree with artichoke head, narrow leaves with tips having three teeth]. In 1753 Carl Linnaeus provided the first valid description and called it Leucadendron cucullatum, but he changed his opinion and in 1771 collapsed Leucadendron into Protea creating the new combination Protea cucullata. Richard Anthony Salisbury called the species Mimetes lyrigera in 1809, but his is an illegitimate name because he says it is identical to Leucadendron cucullatum, and he thus should have adopted the older species epithet. This was corrected in 1810 by Robert Brown, who created the correct combination Mimetes cucullatus. Carl Meissner, who contributed a section on the Proteaceae in 1856 to the series Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis by Alphonse Pyramus de Candolle, recognized two slightly different forms calling them M. cucullatus var. brevifolia, and var. ludwigii. Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel created in the same publication M. ludwigii, but without a proper description. Michel Gandoger distinguished in 1901 three further forms as M. mixta, M. cucullatus var. dregei, and M. cucullatus forma laxa respectively. Gandoger and Hans Schinz in 1913 raised them to species level, creating M. dregei and M. laxifolia. In the same year Gandoger distinguished yet another form, creating M. schinziana. John Patrick Rourke considers the common pagoda a species with much variability, but found that the forms all grade into each other, and concludes all these names should be treated as synonyms of Mimetes cucullatus.

Names
Mimetes cucullatus is known as common pagoda, red pagoda, common mimetes or red mimetes in English, and rooistompie, or just stompie in Afrikaans. The species name cucullātus is Latin, means "hooded" and refers to the hood-like shape of the leaf that actually subtends the flower head higher up the stem. The name in Afrikaans "stompie" means stump. It may refer to its burt remains after a wildfire, but also to the squarely lopped off stems. Rooi is the Afrikaans word for red, and refers to the scarlet colour of new growth and the leaves that subtend the flower heads.

Distribution
Mimetes cucullatus is the most widely distributed pagoda species, found from west of the Olifants River valley near Porterville in the north and the Cape Peninsula in the southwest, to the Langeberg range in the east. It is particularly common along the coast between Hangklip near Pringle Bay in the Kogelberg area to Bredasdorp. There are three isolated inland populations of M. cucullatus in the Kouga Mountains, Klein Swartberg and Rooiberg, an isolated mountain in the middle of the Little Karoo. Another isolated population occurs on the Potberg. This makes it likely that its distribution used to be larger than today but, with increasing drought, it became limited to areas that are wet enough today.

Ecology

Adaptions to environment

This plant is a resprouter, which shoots up new growth from its base after a fire. This is unusual for Mimetes, as all other species are re-seeders; their seeds germinate after a fire, but mature plants are killed by fire.

It has proteoid or cluster roots, which enhance the uptake of nutrients, enabling it to grow in low nutrient soils.

Reproduction

This species, along with other members of the genus Mimetes, is adapted to bird pollination.

Mimetes cucullatus has special glands on the tips of its leaves called extrafloral nectaries, which attract ants. Ants may defend the plants against insect herbivores. In addition, ants are the main dispersers of M. cucullatus seeds.

Conservation
The common pagoda is considered a species of least concern, due to it large distribution and stable population.

Cultivation
Mimetes cucullatus is an unusual and beautiful plant. It is popular with people who have interest in indigenous plants and wildlife gardens.

Since M. cucullatus is a resprouter, it responds well to severe pruning, which makes it well suited as a cut-flower.

The Port of Eden is a small seaport situated in Twofold Bay, adjacent to the town of Eden, located in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.

The Port is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in New South Wales; and woodchip export is currently the major trade for the port, exporting  for the year to 30 June 2011. Major vessel movements occur between Japan, China and Korea.

Principal imports are break bulk and machinery and equipment, mainly for the oil and gas industry. Principal exports are hardwood and softwood woodchips, softwood logs, explosives, and machinery and equipment for the oil and gas industry.

Since 1 July 2014, the port has been managed by Port Authority of NSW, a corporation owned by the NSW Government.

Industries

The port is a principal export point for timber products. During the year ended 30 June 2011, South East Fibre Exports Pty Limited exported  in woodchips to customers located in Japan and Korea. Woodchip storage and packaging facilities were constructed by Harris Daishowa in 1971.

A substantial fishing fleet also operates from the port and from Snug Cove.

Minor port uses include import and export services for the towns of Eden, Bega, Bombala and Cooma, and as a stopover for national and international cruise ships.

In 1960 Mobil constructed a dedicated wharf, tanks and plant for small-scale petroleum imports and distribution to southern New South Wales.

Approximately 70 commercial vessels visited the Port of Eden during the year ended 30 June 2012; including two passenger cruise ships. Civilian shipping movements in the port are regulated by a harbour master appointed by NSW Maritime.

The port is also shared with the Department of Defence and serviced approximately 30 Royal Australian Navy ships for the year ended 30 June 2012. The Navy facility consists of a wharf, an access jetty and road, and a land-based munitions store  from the bay and surrounded by a  exclusion zone.

Facilities
The port consists of two commercial shipping wharves, the Mobil petroleum wharf, a cargo storage area and ancillary facilities.

The Breakwater Wharf caters for the timber industry, the fishing fleet and cruise shipping. The wharf is  long with depths ranging from  to the landward end and  seaward, with a tidal variation of . The wharf itself is concrete with rubber fending.

In 2003 a multi-purpose wharf and munitions facility was constructed to expand naval repair and refit operations and increase the port's timber export capacity by . The length of the multi-purpose wharf is , accessed via a  timber jetty. Berthing depth is  but maximum vessel raft is restricted by a low-water fairway depth of .

The common-user cargo storage area covers  with a gravel surface and sealed internal roads. Storage capacity was estimated to reach  in 2010/11.

Cruise terminal
The NSW Government spent  on an extension of Breakwater Wharf so that visiting cruise ships do not need to use ship's tenders to bring passengers ashore. The first cruise ship to use the updated wharf was the Pacific Explorer that visited on 14September 2019.

Cruise ships dock at Breakwater Wharf and are currently restricted to  in length.

On 11April 2022 a proposal was announced to allow more than 60 cruise vessels a year to dock as well as allowing the berth to be used between 10pm and 7am with consultations beginning in mid April ahead of a decision by mid 2023. The proposal would also include additional infrastructure to allow for Oasis-class cruise ships to dock.

History

European history
The bay was first charted by explorer George Bass in 1797 and has been used for commercial whaling and fishing since the 1840s. From the 1850s to 1950s the port was serviced by steamship companies, including the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company.

The Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo is a 2000 2D platform game developed by Sennari Interactive and published by Bay Area Multimedia for the Game Boy Color. It is based on the Powerpuff Girls, a cartoon series on Cartoon Network.

Bad Mojo Jojo is the first game of a three-game series, which includes The Powerpuff Girls: Paint the Townsville Green and The Powerpuff Girls: Battle HIM. Players can trade character cards across versions when linked together with the Game Boy Color's Game Link Cable accessory.

Gameplay
The Powerpuff Girls: Bad Mojo Jojo follows Blossom, the leader of the Powerpuff Girls, as she fights Mojo Jojo and his henchmen. Blossom can fly, but only for a short period of time. GameSpot cites this as a key problem, as whenever Blossom falls into water, she not only dies, but any progress in collecting required trinkets throughout the level is reset to nothing.

Reception
The game was a failure critically. IGN gave the game a 5.0, and wrote that, "It really boils down to a game where you fly around and collect icons thrown in different parts of the levels." GameSpot rated the game a 3.2 ("bad" rating), and reported, "Even younger players will find the game to be little more than an exercise in frustration."

Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI) is a Brockville public intermediate and high school that follows the Ontario curriculum.

The French immersion and extended core French programs involve approximately 125 students in grades 9–12. Business, mathematics, computers, science, liberal arts, and communication programs have produced many graduates, who have gone on to pursue careers in medicine, engineering, law, computer technology and business.

The school draws from ten public elementary schools, one separate elementary school, and one French Catholic elementary school and represent a variety of ethno-cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. It has a high level of student leadership and participation in many school activities including athletic Association, student council, yearbook, sound and lighting crew and the arts program. Nine tenths of the students pursues studies at the postsecondary level.

The longstanding motto is "Excellence in Academics, Arts & Athletics"

A number of school partnerships are linked to the co-operative education program; each year, 50–60 students are placed with employers in the Brockville community.

Students benefit from community participation and support in band boosters club, football group, and alumni. Those groups raise a good deal of money, which contributes to the football program, the purchase of musical instruments, auditorium renovations, and more than $30,000 annually in scholarships.

The school facilities (the auditorium and the gymnasium) are used by many community groups. Students are also involved in volunteering with community organizations and elementary schools.

History
Brockville Collegiate Institute was built on the present site in 1889 and was formally opened for the fall term in September of that year. It was originally known as Brockville High School before it change its name. The grey stone building of simple and dignified architecture stood near the centre of the block between Orchard St. and Ormond St. And faced Pearl St. on the south. A beautiful lawn in front extended the length of the block and was terraced to the playgrounds of the boys and the girls at the rear.

The school's basement had cloakrooms for pupils and a furnace room. The main floor had an office and a library in a shallow extension at the front and three classrooms on the north. The second floor held a laboratory above the office, and an assembly room and one classroom. The third floor had two gyms for boys and girls.

John McMullen, the author of A History of Canada and editor of The Brockville Monitor, was the head of the building committee. The citizens felt that at last, they had a splendid school, which would serve the town for ages. The new school evidently attracted more pupils, and soon, a small classroom was partitioned off the assembly room, which was required for classes as well.

In 1909, a north wing was added, containing the gymnasium on the ground floor, a laboratory and a classroom and, on the second floor, a large assembly hall, but that too proved quite inadequate for the growing numbers, and the assembly hall was divided by temporary partitions into three classrooms. The two gymnasiums of the original building had long been used for very unsatisfactory classrooms.

The school burned down on March 8, 1929, but it reopened two years later by architect George Roper Gouinlock, son for prominent architect George Wallace Gouinlock.

Twenty-seven alumni were killed serving in World War I and forty-six in World War II. A bronze memorial plaque is dedicated as a list of honour to the former students of Brockville Collegiate Institute and Vocational School who died in both wars.

Administration
The school is a member of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). Its feeder public elementary schools in the area include Commonwealth, Front of Yonge, Lyn, Maynard, Meadowview, Thousand Islands Elementary School, Thousand Island Secondary School, Toniata, Pineview, Westminster, St. Mary, Vanier, St. Francis Xavier, and J.L. Jordan.

There are approximately 760 students.

Academics
The school performs well in provincial academic testing, and an estimated 90% of its graduates continue to postsecondary education. In March 2007 it became the first school in the UCDSB to score 100% on the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test, with the provincial average being 84%.

In November 2006, BCI became accredited to offer the prestigious, internationally recognized International Baccalaureate program.

The school offers French immersion and extended core French programs.

Through its cooperative education courses, 50–70 students have work-study placements in the community.

In addition to those programs and the core curriculum, the school also offers students courses in such subjects as music theatre, food and nutrition, English media, multimedia, music, art, photography, drama, leadership, and peer support.

Extracurricular activities
The school also offers its students a wide range of extracurricular activities in athletics and service clubs.

School teams compete in badminton, basketball, cross country running, football, baseball, hockey, rowing (through an association with the Brockville Rowing Club), rugby, soccer, track and field, and volleyball.

Other extracurricular opportunities include the student council, the yearbook club, the Sound and Lighting Crew, Reach for the Top teams (which have placed as high as fourth provincially), the Rambotics Robotics Club, math teams, the Enviro-Club, the United Nations Club, the Ontario Students against Drunk Driving, grad Club, and a Link Crew.

In November 2010 the senior football team defeated Smith Falls 12–0 to win the EOSSAA championship and became the first BCI squad to advance to the National Capital Bowl, which was held at Trent University in Peterborough. The Rams faced Adam Scott of Peterborough and were defeated but marked a milestone for the team football and athletics in general.

In March 2014, the girls' curling team won the EOSSAA championship and then the silver medal at the OFSAA provincial championships. The team repeated that performance at the OFSAA provincials in 2015.

The Judge and the General is a 2008 Chilean-American documentary film about Juan Guzmán's attempts to bring Augusto Pinochet to justice for human rights crimes.

Plot
The Judge and the General tells a story of personal transformation, as a Chilean judge descends into what he calls the "abyss" of investigating crimes committed by Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship during the 1970s and 1980s in Chile.

Appeals Court Judge Juan Guzmán opposed the democratically elected Salvador Allende and supported the 1973 violent military coup led by General Pinochet.  Then in 1998, he was assigned by judicial lottery the first criminal cases against Pinochet.  (Judges in Chile investigate, prosecute, and try cases.)  Filmmakers Elizabeth Farnsworth and Patricio Lanfranco follow Guzmán's investigations as he solves cases of murder and kidnapping and considers whether to indict Pinochet.

Viewers watch as Guzmán confronts his past and faces his own doubts about whether Pinochet should be indicted or not.

The documentary begins with Judge Guzmán's expressions of anguish, as he watches supporters of Pinochet taunt opponents during the general's funeral in Santiago in December 2006.  The taunts – which laud the killings of the Pinochet years—take Guzmán back to the hatred and chaos of the Allende period, the 1973 Pinochet coup, and ensuing terror. The film flashes back briefly to those years, as Guzmán and others recall that time.

The film then follows two investigations which take viewers deeply into the story.

Manuel Donoso was a young sociology professor killed just after the coup. The documentary cuts back and forth between a disinterment of Donoso's remains and his wife's story, as she recounts his arrest, torture and death. The case widens out as the documentary moves between past and present, and other characters place the crime in context.

The other key case features Cecilia (Chechi) Castro, whose mother, Edita, faced a ghastly "Sophie's Choice." She led Pinochet's secret police to her daughter's hiding place in order to save a granddaughter's life. Judge Guzmán and detectives investigate this case from, among other locations, a boat off the Chilean coast, where underwater cameras capture the shocking images of divers bringing up rails that had been tied to bodies of political prisoners thrown into the sea.

Guzmán is, perhaps, "the good German," a citizen blind to the crimes around him until chance forces him into an investigation he never sought and didn't want. As a young man  he had served briefly as a clerk in the Court of Appeals during the worst years of repression under Pinochet.  Judges of that court had to decide on thousands of habeas corpus petitions filed on behalf of victims, many of whom had disappeared into secret detention centers. Nearly all the petitions were denied, and Juan Guzmán wrote some of those denials. Had they been granted, many lives would have been saved. Viewers watch as he struggles with this memory and describes how his investigation made him realize how "blind" he had been. " I would say it opened the eyes of my soul," he says.

Guzman's colleagues, attorneys and judges, had doubted Guzman's competence and his willingness to pursue Pinochet. By the end of the film, viewers will know whether they were right or wrong.

Awards
The Judge and the General won a duPont-Columbia Award for excellence in broadcast journalism. It also gained an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Historical Programming and a Directors Guild of America (DGA) nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary.

The A6121 is a short cross-country road in the counties of Lincolnshire and Rutland, England.  It forms the principal route between Bourne and Stamford and the A1 in Lincolnshire, continuing on through Ketton in Rutland to its junction with the A47 at Morcott.  Its south-western end is at  and its north-eastern end is at .  The road has increased in importance with the rapid expansion of housing in this part of South Kesteven.

The road is deemed to start from its junction with the A47 to the west of the A1, therefore it is allocated to Zone 6 and numbered accordingly. It was the only A road in the Stamford area that was not a trunk road before the A16 was de-trunked in 2010 to become the A1175.

Route

Morcott – Stamford

It begins in Morcott at the staggered crossroads with the east-west A47 and the B672 (its continuation to Caldecott), becoming Stamford Road near the White Horse Inn. It is crossed here by the Rutland Round and from here to Tinwell, west of Stamford, it follows the River Chater. From South Luffenham to Caldecott, the A6121 and B672 also follow the Rugby branch of the Syston and Peterborough Railway, which opened in 1851. The road passes through South Luffenham as Stamford Road, with a crossroads for the village and Barrowden (to the south), and the Coach House Inn. To the east of the village is the Wireless Hill roundabout for North Luffenham (to the west) and the A47 (to the south).

From here the road follows the main Syston and Peterborough Railway (part of the Birmingham to Peterborough Line), which it passes under a mile to the east, north of Luffenham Heath Golf Club, and the point where the road crosses the River Chater at Foster's Bridge. On the North Luffenham / Ketton parish boundary there is a junction for North Luffenham (to the west).

It enters Ketton as Luffenham Road, passing a crossroads for Edith Weston (to the west), and Geeston and Aldgate (to the south). On the eastern exit of the village is the large Ketton Cement Works, to the north. A railway branch line for the factory passes under the road, and further east is a junction with Steadfold Lane, for Great Casterton, to the north. In Tinwell it passes All Saints church, to the south, and the Crown Inn. West of Tinwell, the River Chater joins the River Welland, a few hundred metres to the south. Entering Tinwell, it meets Casterton Lane to the north (for the A1/A606 junction). On the eastern side of the A1 cloverleaf junction it enters Stamford, South Kesteven, and Lincolnshire as Tinwell Road. This entry into Stamford has the best view of the Welland Valley.

Stamford – Bourne
It crosses the former Roman road Ermine Street at the junction of Roman Bank to the north and Waterfurlong to the south. It leaves the main road (Rutland Terrace), following West Street, to the left near a Waitrose. It meets Scotgate (A606 and B1081) at busy traffic lights crossroads, which is the former Great North Road. It passes to the north of Stamford town centre, along North Street and East Street, which passes the police station and Stamford School. It briefly follows the trunk road A1175, then at a mini-roundabout, follows the road to the left as Ryhall Road, with Stamford and Rutland Hospital to the right. Further north is the former site of the Mirrlees Blackstone diesel engine works, on the right hand side, now a retail park. From Stamford School, this is also part of the Macmillan Way. There is a junction with Drift Road to the left (for New College Stamford and Stamford Leisure Centre) in the part of Stamford known as Northfields.

At Borderville, it re-enters Rutland. There is a staggered junction for Little Casterton (to the west), and Belmesthorpe (to the east). It passes Ryhall (to the east), and crosses the River Gwash, which the road follows from Stamford. There is a cross roads where the road bends to the right, with junctions for Great Casterton (to the west) and the B1176 to the north. It leaves Ryhall as Essendine Road, and crosses a 400 kV pylon line. It enters Essendine as Stamford Road, where it crosses the East Coast Main Line. As Bourne Road, it crosses the West Glen River. It enters Lincolnshire and South Kesteven south of the Greatford junction. Nearby to the east is the former Stamford to Bourne railway, which the road follows from Stamford. It passes on the eastern edge of Carlby, and from near Carlby Hawes wood, is the parish boundary between Witham on the Hill and Toft with Lound and Manthorpe (to the east).

There is a crossroads for Witham on the Hill (to the west), and Manthorpe (to the east). South of Toft it crosses the East Glen River. It passes the Toft Country House Hotel, and there is a left turn for Lound (to the north). There is a sharp bend to the left. Further north of Toft is a left turn for Lound. At Toft Lodge, it crosses over a tunnel of the former Melton Mowbray – Bourne railway (Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway). This is now Toft Tunnel Nature Reserve. North of here it enters Bourne, and further north is the junction with the A151, the terminus of the road, east of Auster Wood.

The QF 12 pounder 18 cwt gun (Quick-Firing) was a 3-inch high-velocity naval gun used to equip larger British warships such as battleships for defence against torpedo boats. 18 cwt referred to the weight of gun and breech (18 × 112 lb = 2,016 lb or 914 kg), to differentiate the gun from others that also fired the "12 pound" (actually 12.5 lb or 5.7 kg) shell.

Service

Royal Navy service

Guns were mounted in:
  commissioned 1906
 The last three s—, , and , commissioned 1906–1907
 s commissioned 1908
 Minotaur-class armoured cruisers commissioned 1908–1909

The gun was superseded in the anti-torpedo boat role on new capital ships from 1909 onwards by the far more powerful BL 4-inch Mk VII gun.

World War I land service

In World War I four guns were landed for service in the East Africa campaign, on 10 February 1916, and were used until September. They constituted the 9th Field Battery manned by Royal Marines. They were originally towed by oxen and later by Napier lorries.

Fourteen of these guns were mounted in coast defence batteries in the 'Middle Line' of the defences of the Firth of Forth when it was established in 1915 (the batteries on Inchcolm (8 guns), Inchmickery (4) and Cramond Island (2). During the general revision of the defences in 1916/17 two of the guns were removed to store, four moved to other batteries (Hound Point and Downing Point). The document setting out the armaments of the Forth differentiate clearly between the 12cwt and 18cwt types, both of which were in use in the fortress.

Ammunition
The gun fired the same 12.5 lb  shells as the other British "QF 12 pounder" guns, but used its own larger separate cartridge case to accommodate a larger quantity of cordite propellant.

"Do you know where your children are?" is a question used as a public service announcement (PSA) for parents on American television especially from the late 1960s through the late 1980s. Accompanied by a time announcement, this phrase is typically used as a direct introduction for the originating station's late-evening newscast, typically at either 10:00 p.m. or 11:00 p.m. While the phrase itself had appeared in newspapers as early as the 19th century, usage of it in broadcasting started in the early 1960s following the enactment of nightly youth curfews for minors in multiple large cities.

When proposing a nightly youth curfew in the state in early 1961, Massachusetts state senator William X. Wall notably urged all radio and television broadcasters to ask the question on-air, so as to remind parents to check up on their children. The first high-profile usage of the phrase was by KHJ-TV (KCAL-TV channel 9 ) in Los Angeles in 1964, which had the question read on-air by booth announcers during the nightly 10:00 p.m. station break. Following the adoption of a 10:30 p.m. curfew in Baltimore, WJZ-TV (channel 13) began running the announcement at 11:00 p.m. in consultation with the city's mayor Thomas D'Alesandro III; this followed a series of documentaries produced by the station regarding issues facing younger generations and was inspired by positive reception of the PSA on Milwaukee television. WJZ-TV's owner Westinghouse Broadcasting quickly adopted this phrase for other stations owned by the chain, including KYW-TV in Philadelphia and WBZ-TV in Boston.

WNEW-TV (channel 5) in New York City, along with WKBW-TV in Buffalo, New York, are two of the more notable stations to have utilized this announcement. WNEW-TV began using the phrase spoken by Mel Epstein, WNEW-TV's director of on-air promotions, in 1967 in response to the rising level of crime in the city; it is still used by the station—known as WNYW since 1986—on a nightly basis. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, the announcement was adjusted to encourage people to stay home during the pandemic with the phrase "Stay home. Stay safe. Stay strong. We’re all in this together."

The PSA was featured on Time magazine's "Top 10 Public-Service Announcements" list.

The PSA was often parodied. The line appeared in the Simpsons episode "Bart After Dark", upon which Homer Simpson responded to the television, "I told you last night — no!", and as the tagline for the 1999 film 200 Cigarettes.

Michael Jackson's compilation album Xscape, posthumously released in 2014, includes a track titled "Do You Know Where Your Children Are", which was originally recorded in 1986 by Jackson during his "Bad" sessions, and was reworked between 2013 and 2014. In it, Jackson narrates the events of an underage girl who undergoes child sexual abuse and neglect.

Franciscus Georgius Josephus van Lith, SJ  or often called Frans van Lith or affectionately Romo van Lith (Javanese:"Father van Lith"; 17 May 1863 – 9 January 1926), was a Jesuit priest from Oirschot, Netherlands who pioneered the Catholic mission in Java, especially Central Java.

He baptized the first Javanese at Sendangsono, founded a school for teachers in Muntilan, and fought for the education of Javanese people during the Dutch colonial rule.

He was renowned because of his ability to synchronize Roman Catholic teachings with that of Kejawen so that it could be accepted by the Javanese societies. Today in Eastern and Central java, Catholicism is a religion practised by quite a number of Javanese and people from the Chinese ethnic group.

Pope John Paul II, when giving a speech in Yogyakarta on 10 October 1989, said that he stood on that day at the center of the Island of Java to commemorate those who had laid the foundations of the Catholic people, Father van Lith, SJ and two of his disciples, Mgr Soegijapranata and  IJ Kasimo.

Biography
Van Lith arrived in Semarang in 1896 to study the culture and customs of Java. He was placed in Muntilan in 1897. He stayed in Desa Semampir at the banks of River Lamat.
On 14 December 1904, van Lith baptized 171 villagers from the region of Kalibawang in Sendangsono, Kulon Progo. This event is regarded as the birth of the Church among the Javanese when the 171 people become the first Javanese to embrace Catholicism. The location of the baptism is now the pilgrimage center Sendangsono.

In the small village of Semampir he built a school and a church. He also begun the building of the Catholic school complex in Muntilan, starting with the "Normaalschool" in 1890, a school for teachers or "Kweekschool" in 1904 and then a school for head teachers in 1906. This school for teachers was open for all native Javanese, from all religions. It started with 107 students, 32 of whom are non-Catholics.

In 1911 the Mertoyudan Seminary was officially founded, the first in Indonesia, built in part because some of the school's alumni wanted to become priests. One of them was Mgr A. Soegijapranata SJ (1896-1963), who would later become the Archbishop of Semarang, the first Indonesian native bishop.

The small church and school at Semampir would then develop into a complex of buildings, which was named Kolese Franciscus Xaverius in 1911. In 1948, the school complex was burned.

This education beginning in Muntilan would create Indonesian Catholic politicians, such as Kasimo, Frans Seda, amongst others.

In Klaten, van Lith tried to establish a Hollands Inlandse School (HIS, a primary school for Indonesian children).. Initially the effort did not receive the permission of the Assistant Resident, because in Klaten there was already a Protestant HIS. Because of the refusal, Father van Lith proposed directly to the Resident of Surakarta (Solo). His proposal was accepted, and in 1920 HIS Kanisius Klaten was established and education activities started.

Van Lith fought for the education of the native Javanese. He sent students to Dutch universities and urged the Society of Jesus to build colleges.

Politics
He was a member of the Education Council ("Onderwijsraad") in 1918. That year he was also elected as a member of the Commission for Hearing of the Statehood of the Dutch Indies (Commissie tot Herziening van de Grondslagen der Staatsinrichting van Nederlandsch-Indië). The commission was founded for the realization of the Dutch government's attempt to create the state rules of the Dutch Indies, which would involve both Dutch and natives. To the commission van Lith demanded a position for a native delegation in the "Volksraad".

He was also recommended as member of the "Volksraad" (People's Council) by the Sarekat Islam Party, led by van Lith's close friend, K.H. Agus Salim. However, he was never elected to the People's Council.

During his time as member of both the Education Council and the Commission for Hearing of the Statehood of the Dutch Indies, Romo van Lith fought for the causes of the native Indonesians, something which the Dutch government did not like. In 1920 van Lith returned to the Netherlands to tend for his faltering health. When he tried to return to Indonesia, he faced opposition from the Dutch government.

Return to Indonesia
In 1924 van Lith finally returned and chose to stay in Semarang, establishing a Hollandsch-Inlandsche School (HIS) and a "Standaardschool" while teaching Jesuit novices. Van Lith died on 9 January 1926 in Semarang and was interred in the Jesuit cemetery in Muntilan.

Pemmasani Ramalinga Nayudu was an army commander of a Vijayanagara military unit. An inscription dated to 1544 CE, which was found in Tallaproddatu, states that Pemmasani Ramalinga enjoyed the nayankara (feudal control) of the village.  Phillip B. Wagoner who analysed 17th century Telugu text Rayavachakamu noted that it is not known whether Ramalinga Nayudu served Krishnadeva Raya or some later ruler.

Ramalinga was named as a commander and 'chief general' of the Vijayanagara emperor Krishnadevaraya () in Rayavachakamu, and a later poetic rendition Krishnarajavijayam. According to Rayavachakamu, he was an army commander of a Vijayanagara military unit comprising nearly 80,000 soldiers. He was mentioned as a commander for the Vijayanagara king Krishnadevaraya at a certain 'Battle with the Turks'. Historian Venkataramanayya identified the battle as the one fought at Devni or Dewani (unidentified) in 1509–1510, within a year of Krishnadevaraya's accession. But some elements of the narrative are also reminiscent of the Battle of Raichur in 1520. Ramalinga is said to have played a crucial role in winning the battle against combined armies of Kalburgie, Golconda and Ahmednagar for Krishnadevaraya. Krishnadevaraya honoured him with gold threaded clothes and jewels following this victory.

He was the son of Pemmasani Timmanayudu II and Machamma. The Pemmasani Nayaks were a martial clan. During the Aravidu Dynasty of the Vijayanagara Empire, the Pemmasanis were in prominence as the chieftains of Gandikota sima and ministers at the Vijayanagara court. Burton Stein relays that the Pemmasanis controlled numerous small villages and many large towns and had large mercenary armies that were the vanguard of the Vijayanagara Empire in the sixteenth century.

Ramalinga and his brother, Erra Timmanayudu, fought and won various battles for Rama Raya, including the Battle of Juturu, Battle of Betamcherla, Battle of Bedakallu, and Battle of Adoni. It was mainly with their cooperation that Rama Raya won the succession conflict following the death of Achyuta Devaraya against Salakaraju Tirumala.
