In Tibetan Buddhism, Siṃhamukhā (Tib. Senge Dongma) or Siṃhavaktra, also known as the Lion Face Dakini or Lion-headed Dakini, is a wisdom dakini of the Dzogchen tradition. She is represented as a fierce dakini with the head of a snow lion. Her mouth is depicted with a roar, symbolizing untamed fury and jubilant laughter. Her roar  disperses discursive thoughts. She is naked, symbolizing that she herself is completely free of discursive thought.

She is considered to be an emanation or manifestation of Guhyajnana Dakini (the principal Dakini teacher of Padmasambhava in Uddiyana), or of Mandarava (one of his consorts), or of Sangwa Yeshe. She represents the accomplished female practitioner. As a meditation deity, her main function is averting magical attacks.

According to both John Reynolds and John Lash, she is the Indian equivalent of the Egyptian goddess Sekmet.

Lineages
There are at least two major lineages of transmission, one in the Nyingma and another in the Sakya school. Although according to the tertön Nyangral Nyima Özer, the Nyingma Simhamukha is based on the Sakya tradition of Bari Lotsawa.

Nyingma
According to the terma (in Tibetan: gong ter, 'a treasure of the mind') tradition of the Nyingma school, Senge Dongma is a manifestation of Padmasambhava, a secret spiritual form of Guru Rinpoche specifically for removing spiritual obstacles and negativity. Accomplished practitioners often visualize Padmasambhava as Simhamukha during their meditative practices. According to Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo,

Sakya
The Sakya lineage began with a terma discovered by Bari Lotsawa (1040–1111), who transmitted the teachings to Sachen Kunga Nyingpo. According to Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo,

HMS Hector was a UK steam turbine passenger and refrigerated cargo liner launched in 1924. She was the fourth of six civilian ships to bear the name.

In the Second World War Hector was converted into an armed merchant cruiser. She was the eleventh HMS Hector in the history of the Royal Navy.

A Japanese air raid sank her in Ceylon in 1942. In 1946 she was raised and scrapped.

Building
Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company built Hector in Greenock, Scotland. Isobel Cripps launched her on 18 June 1924 and she was completed on 16 September.

Hector was the third of a set of four sister ships built for Alfred Holt and Company of Liverpool, who owned Blue Funnel Line and other shipping lines including the Ocean Steam Ship Company. Her sisters were  and  launched in 1923, and  launched in 1924. All were named after characters in Homer's Iliad.

Hector was  long,  beam and had a depth of . She had a counter stern, slightly raked stem, one funnel and two masts. She had accommodation for first class passengers only.

Hectors tonnages were  and . She had steam turbines driving twin screws via single-reduction gearing, which gave her a service speed of . By 1934 Patroclus had been fitted with wireless direction finding equipment.

Civilian service
Scotts delivered Hector to Blue Funnel on 23 September 1924 and she made her maiden voyage from Liverpool to the Far East on 24 September 1924. This was the regular route for Hector and her three sisters.

Naval service
On 27 August 1939, a few days before the outbreak of the Second World War, the Admiralty requisitioned Hector and had her converted into an armed merchant cruiser. Her primary armament was six BL 6-inch Mk XII naval guns and her secondary armament included two QF 3-inch 20 cwt anti-aircraft guns. Her conversion was completed on 20 December 1939.

Hector served on the New Zealand Station from January to July 1940 and the East Indies Station from August 1940 until February 1942. In March 1942 she was transferred to the Eastern Fleet.

Loss
Hector was dry docked in Colombo in Ceylon to prepare for decommissioning. On 5 April 1942 Japanese carrier-based aircraft attacked the port in the Easter Sunday Raid. The Japanese force had hoped to catch remnants of the Eastern Fleet in harbour, but most of the fleet had left earlier. Japanese aircraft attacked the few targets they could find, one of which was Hector. She was hit by five bombs that set her on fire, and after several hours she sank. The air raid also sank the destroyer  in the harbour. The cruisers  and  were sunk at sea later that day.

The Admiralty returned the wreck of Hector to the Ocean Steamship Company on 20 April 1942, but because of the war she was not refloated until 1946. She was beached  north of Colombo for assessment. She was judged to be beyond economical repair, and was sold for scrap.

Waterloo Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the northern dock system in Vauxhall and connected to Princes Half Tide Dock to the south. The site of Victoria Dock is located to the north.

History
The dock was designed by Jesse Hartley and opened in 1834 as Waterloo Dock, named after the Battle of Waterloo. 

In 1843 an observatory was built here for astronomical and meteorological observations and to provide accurate time for ships' chronometers.
In 1866, when the dock was redeveloped, the observatory was relocated to Bidston Hill on the Wirral Peninsula.

In 1868, Waterloo Dock was split in two separate basins; East Waterloo Dock and West Waterloo Dock. 

Initially planned eleven years earlier, the lock entrance from the Mersey was finally opened in 1949. Construction was delayed due to the Second World War.

The dock closed to shipping in 1988. The entrance channel from the river and part of the dock has since been filled.

In 2007, work began on a £20 million extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, providing a further  of navigable waterway and encompassing Princes Half Tide Dock. 
A new -wide channel from Trafalgar Dock to the northern end of West Waterloo Dock will be excavated as part of the canal route. 

The extensive Waterloo Warehouse has since been converted into residential apartments.

Great Lakes Airlines was a regional airline in Canada. It was formed in 1958 in Sarnia, Ontario by John Blunt and by 1983 became Air Ontario Ltd. In June 1987 Air Ontario Ltd. merged with Austin Airways to form Air Ontario Inc. which in turn subsequently operated Air Canada Connector code sharing passenger flights on behalf of Air Canada with Convair 580 and de Havilland Canada DHC-8 Dash 8 series 100 and 300 turboprops.  Air Ontario also operated Fokker F28 Fellowship jets at one point.

Aircraft in service with Great Lakes during the 1970s, being Convair 440 propliners and Convair 580 turboprops, were older and subject to vibrations during take-off, resulting in passengers nicknaming the company "Great Shakes".  Convair 580 turboprops operated by Air Ontario prompted the nickname "Scare Ontario".

Destinations in 1979 
Great Lakes Airlines was serving the following destinations in Ontario province in Canada with scheduled passenger flights operated with Convair aircraft in 1979:

 London, Ontario
 Ottawa, Ontario
 Peterborough, Ontario
 Sarnia, Ontario
 Toronto, Ontario

Countess Charlotte Brabantina of Nassau (Antwerp, 17 September 1580 – Château-Renard, August 1631) was the fifth daughter of William the Silent and his third spouse, Charlotte of Bourbon.  She lived in her life at the French royal court and performed many successful assignments as a mediator.

Life
She and her sisters lost their mother in 1582 and their father in 1584 and were taken care of by their stepmother Louise de Coligny, with whom they had a very good relationship.

In 1594 Louise introduced the elder sisters Elisabeth and Charlotte Brabantina at the court of Henry IV of France in order to find French Huguenot spouses for them. Elisabeth married the Duke of Bouillon in 1596 and Charlotte Brabantina married Claude de La Trémoille in 1598. She was described as a beauty and called La Belle Brabantine. She was widowed in 1604.

Charlotte Brabantina divided her life between the Thours castle, the French royal court and the Dutch court in The Hague, and was well liked by Henry IV, Marie de' Medici and Louis XIII.  Being well liked by most and with good connections, she was often given assignments as a mediator.  She acted as a mediator during the conflict between the Duke of Bouillon and Henry IV.   She also acted as a mediator in the negotiations resulting in the Treaty of Loudun in 1616. Louis XIII appointed her to chair the synd between the French reformed churches in Vitry in May–June 1617.

She maintained a correspondence with her stepmother and her sisters, who were also often politically active, and they often referred to themselves as 'femmes d'état' or female "statesmen".

Juan de Mendoza y Velasco (died 24 or 26 February 1628) was a minister during the reign of Philip III, a position he attained due to his family's history. Among the roles he held throughout his career were: Marquis de la Hinojosa, Governor of the Duchy of Milan from 1612 through 1616, Viceroy of Navarre from 1620–1623, and Spanish Ambassador in England. A knight of the Military Order of Santiago, he was awarded the title of marquis de la Hinojosa by King Philip III of Spain, on 11 February 1612.

During his career, Mendoza also became marquis of San Germán, Member of the Private Chambers of the king, Viceroy of Navarre, 1620–1623,  Captain General of the Spanish Artillery and President of the "Consejo de Indias", a Royal Political Bureau dealing with all the administrative events related with the administration, trade and tax collections of the very extensive American Territories, in the North, Central, and South.

He decreed the establishment of the church at the Castrojeriz School (). The scholars Marcus B. Burke, Peter Cherry called him "an important minister of the reign of Philip III". He died 24 February 1628. His wife was María de Velasco and his daughter was Ana María de Mendoza. The bodies of him, his wife, and his daughter were taken to a church at the Convento de Las Descalzas Reales, Valladolid on 25 February 1628 to be subsequently moved to the church at the Castrojeriz School.

Germany–Laos relations have existed on the bilateral level since the late 1950s.

History 
The Federal Republic of Germany established diplomatic relations with Laos on January 31, 1958, and East Germany on May 27, 1974. In 1975, both the Federal Republic and the GDR opened embassies in Vientiane, the capital of Laos. After German reunification, the German-Laotian Society was founded in 1998.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Laos Prime Minister Thongloun Sisolith at the Asia-Europe Meeting summit in Ulaanbaatar on July 14, 2016. The two leaders held another meeting in Berlin on March 13, 2019.

Economic relations 
Both countries concluded a bilateral investment agreement in 1999. In 2020, the bilateral trade volume was 154.7 million Euro, making Germany the second-largest trading partner for Laos within the European Union.

Germany has provided development aid to Laos since the 1960s. By 2022, aid payments were over 500 million Euro.

Cultural relations 

Almost 3000 Laotians have studied in the former GDR and today the German Academic Exchange Service awards scholarships to Laotian students. In higher education, there are various partnerships between German and Lao institutions. At the National University of Laos, German has been a separate subject since 2003.

Germany has assisted Laos with cultural preservation. In 2015–2018, buildings in the old town of Luang Prabang were restored with funding from the German Foreign Office.

Diplomatic missions 

 Germany has an embassy in Vientiane.
 Laos has an embassy in Berlin.
