Temple de la reine Hatchepsout
Le temple de Millions d'Années de la reine Hatschepsout à Deir el-Bahari, bâti au pied d'une falaise occidentale de la montagne thébaine, est un spéos (en partie creusé dans le roc). La paroi rocheuse intervient comme un arrière-fond scénique d'un théâtre naturel impressionnant. L'édifice, construit par l'architecte Senenmout, s'élève sur trois terrasses. Les salles et chapelles sont dédiées à diverses divinités dont Amon, Hathor et Anubis. La troisième terrasse abrite une chapelle creusée dans le roc qui servira de lieu de culte funéraire à Thoutmôsis Ier, Thoutmôsis II, ainsi qu'à la reine Ahmôsis. Ptolémée II l'a creusera plus profondément la chapelle afin d'y inclure le culte des deux personnages divinisés d'Imhotep, l'architecte de Djeser, et d'Amenhotep fils de Hapou, architecte d'Amenhotep III.
Auguste Mariette, qui découvrira le site à l'état de ruines au milieu de XIXème siècle, achèvera ses fouilles en 1896. Les principales dégradations seront le fait de Thoutmosis III, évincé du trône pendant vingt ans par la fille de Thoutmosis Ier, qui s'efforcera de faire disparaître toutes les traces laissées par la première femme-pharaon de l'histoire égyptienne. Cette dernière est représentée avec la barbe traditionnelle des pharaons sur certains bas-reliefs de son temple funéraire. Akhénaton effacera toutes les références à Amon, avant de transférer sa cour à Tell el-Amarna. Les Chrétiens, qui l'utiliseront comme monastère aux VIème et VIIème siècles, détruiront ses bas-reliefs païens et lui donneront le nom de Deir el-Bahri (monastère du Nord).Le lundi 17 novembre 1997, vers 08h45, un groupe de 29 touristes descendus d'un premier bus visite le temple d'Hatshepsout dans la partie droite, alors qu'un autre groupe venant d'un second bus s'intéresse à sa partie gauche. A environ 09h00, un commando de six hommes déguisés en policiers locaux, conduit par Medhat Mohammed Abdel Rahman Assan (terroriste du mouvement islamiste Al Gama'a Al Islamiyya) arrive à la porte extérieure du temple. Les premières détonations d'AK 47 tueront les gardes de sécurité. Le commando se divisera en deux groupes. Un premier de trois hommes, chargé de la surveillance de l'entrée, maintiendra le périmètre sous contrôle afin de garder à distance les forces de secours. L'autre groupe de trois personnes pénétrera dans le temple et ouvrira le feu sur les premiers touristes qui se trouvaient à proximité. Certains parviennent à s'enfuir ou à se cacher. La plus grande partie d'entre eux se retrouvera coincée entre les murs du temple et un pan de montagne.
Dès cet instant, les terroristes se livreront à une tuerie. Ils poursuivront les touristes occidentaux à l'intérieur du bâtiment, les rassembleront contre un mur ou les obligeront à s'agenouiller avant de les exécuter à bout portant. Des survivants raconteront avec quelle tranquillité et sérénité ils abattront méthodiquement les hommes, femmes et enfants. Agés d'une vingtaine et d'une trentaine d'années et habillés de noir, le front ceint d'un bandeau sur lequel figure l'inscription "Jusqu'à la mort", les terroristes psalmodieront en tirant. Ils tueront 62 touristes dont 35 Suisses et en blesseront 24 sur à peu près 400 qui se trouvaient dans le périmètre.

Recover, Repair, Recycle
Benefit from Huntron's 30 years of providing quality Diagnostic Tools for PCA Recovery
With today's val
id concerns for protection of our environment, the recovery, repair and recycling of printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) is a positive move towards sustainable environmental-friendly practices.
Huntron has been helping businesses troubleshoot and repair printed circuit assemblies for over 30 years. Repairing rather than discarding failed PCAs keeps the potentially harmful chemical components such as lead out of our world's landfills and disposal sites.
Below is a list of Huntron products to help you recover, repair and recycle PCAs:
• Huntron Tracker 2800
• Huntron Tracker Model 30
• Huntron TrackerPXI
• NFSA RF Prober
New Version of Huntron Workstation Available!
A new version of Huntron Workstation is now available for download. Go to the Workstation Support web page to download version 4.1.3273! Update December 22, 2008.
New Automated Near Field Signature Analysis
Combining the Huntron Access Robotic Probing Station, Huntron Workstation Software and the new Test Evolution (TEV) Non-Contact RF Near Field Probe with local synthetic measurement technology sets the standard for Near Field Signature Analysis (NFSA).
Placing the sensor, receiver and signal processing in one compact RF Probe assembly allows the sensing of EM fields emanating from RF circuitry. A specific position in a Near Field is defined as a Virtual Test Point™ (VTP) where a NFSA measurement is made. Identical circuits emanate nearly identical fields at the VTP. The combination of Huntron Prober and TEV RF Probe allows accurate positioning and measurement of VTPs. This provides the repeatability to measure VTP's from 200MHZ to 3GHZ on RF assemblies.
When used for test, an engineer examines the UUT schematic with an eye toward following the RF signal path. Using Huntron Workstation Software, points along that path are selected for Virtual Test Points (VTP). A set of known good boards are then scanned making and saving Near Field signatures at the VTP's. Unknown UUT's are scanned with the same VTP's against the saved signatures. Any deviation against stored signatures indicates areas of concern.
Near Field Signature Analysis (NFSA) is close proximity sensing of EM fields emanating from RF circuitry. Near Fields are close to active circuits with the strength dependent on power and circuit design. AC circuits radiate a unique frequency and magnitude “signature” being a function of frequency of operation, magnitude, distance to the test probe and geometric location of the probe.
The RF NFSA Prober will be available from Huntron to USA customers only in early 2009. Contact Huntron for more details on Near Field Signature Analysis.

Huntron's flexible, automated diagnostic solutions help people solve circuit card problems.
Huntron was founded in 1976 with the introduction of the Huntron Tracker®, the pioneering troubleshooting tool that uses power-off signature analysis to identify component failures on printed circuit boards.
Today, Huntron's reputation in providing automated power-off diagnostics results in instrumentation and software for test, inspection and repair of electronic printed circuit assemblies.
As density and complexity increase, printed circuit assemblies become tougher to probe and test. Huntrom complements conventional test equipment with access and test tools that catch the elusive problems other test methods often miss. The keys are physical and virtual access, which translates into meaningful results such as shorther design cycles, improved production yield and lower warranty costs. When you need to test, diagnose or troubleshoot complex circuit boards, Huntron lets you access, explore and discover more.

Tracker Model 30 shown with Scanner II underneath
Adding a Huntron® Scanner to your Tracker Model 30 system lets you access components using standard DIP clips and cables, custom cables to PCB connectors or interface to a bed-of-nails.
You can compare one component with another in real-time (64 pins max.) or use your PC to automate testing and scan up to 128 pins.
Huntron Scanners can be used with a Huntron Access Prober to provide Common line connections while the Prober is probing a PCB. This method gives you up to 128 selectable Commons to use. For example, you can connect the Scanner to a connector on a PCB mounted in the Prober using a common ribbon style cable. While the Prober is probing, any one of the lines on the connected ribbon cable can be selected as the Common reference. This would provide you true point-to-point testing capabilities.
Note: The ProTrack Scanner will be replaced by the Scanner II and/or the Scanner 31S effective 1/1/2008. This applies to commercial sales only.
Scanner II and Scaner 31S users may want to consider these Optional Accessories to enhance their test capabilities.
Highlights:
* The Scanner II and Scanner 31S accessories add scanning capability to the Tracker Model 30
* All Scanners have a minimum 64 pin capability
* The Scanner II can scan up to 128 pins when the A and B channels are combined
* The Scanner 31S use standard IDC style connectors
* The Scanner II uses the common SCSI-2 (68 pin) style connectors
* Up to 8 Scanner IIs can be “daisy-chained” to increase the available number of test pins
Selecting Accessories for your Scanner II
The Scanner II accessories for interfacing to your printed circuit board come "ala carte". This means that you select the accessories you want included with your Scanner. Choose from SMT or through-hole style DIP clip and cable kits (Scanner Adapter required with Scanner II) or a mutli-pin breakout cable. Details on these accessories are provided on this page.

La Grave and the massif of La Meije offer the biggest lift-accessed off piste skiing in the world! Not only that but it is one of the few massifs which has an incredible 2150m 2300m of (7050ft) vertical drop. This off-piste mountain range can provide exhilarating skiing terrain for the advanced skier, snowboarder and tele-marker. The Skiers Lodge is perfectly positioned within only 3 minutes walk to the lift! This lift ascends from the village at 1400m to stations at 1800m, 2400m, 3200m, and finally to Dome de la Lauze, “the Glacier”, at 3550m. A typical ski descent offers limitless variety from tame to steep terrain commencing on this glacier, proceeding down spectacular open bowls, winding its way through small chutes, crossing glacial moraines into seemingly endless steeps and deeps in the serenity of the forest. Legendary descents from the Girose glacier, with direct lines of 2300m explain why so many riders come back year after year to enjoy free-riding with one of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Alps. FMGA Mountain Guide Pelle Lang, the founder of Skiers Lodge, has come across this spectacular mountain village during his search for big mountain skiing. His dream was to create a lodge owned and operated by skiers for skiers. In 1989 this dream becomes a reality. "Careful thought is given to the itineraries that are chosen for each day. The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings."he Skiers Lodge Guide Service, for which Pelle works daily as the chief guide, represents the ski part of the concept.

The goal is to keep clients challenged by the terrain, but not terrified by the surroundings. La Grave, de la Meije is not a ski resort. Ski resorts adapt to skiers whereas here the skier must adapt to the mountain. This is best achieved by the guidance received from the experienced guides within the Guide Service allowing the client to enter terrain otherwise inaccessible to him/her in a safe manner. All guests are given safety equipment which they are trained to use. Groups are limited to 5 persons ensuring a good level of safety and allowing for different skiing pace.

The Skiers Lodge Guide Service is willing to show riders what it considered to be the best lift access free riding in the world. All it takes is a spirit of adventure for you to share in the ultimate riding experience. A revolution in attitude, style and equipment is making the sports of skiing and snowboarding better than ever.When international ski manufacturers launched their new breed of Extreme Skis, La Grave was the chosen spot. A combination of its long ski runs, its varied terrain and its untouched and unspoiled routes, has given birth to a freedom a freedom to create and shape exciting new styles, attitudes and equipment. Local riders long ago adopted a Free Rider attitude. This means taking responsibility for ones actions on the mountain. As the world of skiing and snowboarding pushes the limits of equipment, the industry pops out more modern equipment with a design and understanding of the 21st century rider. It is now easier than ever to float in the deepest powder, to hold an edge on the steepest terrain and to leave pencil-like tracks of a groomed snow surface

With Brian (Nathan's Friend who had come to join us for a week) in tow we visited Lake Atitlan for a couple of days and stayed at the beautiful Hotel Atitlan just outside of Panajachel. Atitlan is definitely one of the most beautiful lakes in the world with amazing volcano views and a magical aura about it.

After sipping on wonderful margaritas for a day, we took a boat tour around the lake, first visiting the most important indigenous town of Santiago Atitlan. The highlight was probably the indigenous culture and also Maximon, a fun Mayan god who drinks lots of Alcohol and smokes like crazy.

YACHT HOLIDAYS
city-country Monaco Foster + Partners has designed a yacht club that features a nautical iconography, to be more precise – that of a luxury yacht. The stepped decks, aerodynamic perimeter, fully glazed facades, and – off course – flags on the back.The building is mainly used as a stage, simultaneously for yacht-races at the seaside and the famous F1 Grand-Prix at the roadside. The decks are further programmed from the lower level upwards with shops, a rowing club and sailing school, then a clubroom, bar and restaurant, further up a ballroom, and to finish an apartment for the club secretary together with a series of cabins for visiting guests.The iconography and function of the building is similar to the stacked-decks-pavilion that David Chipperfield designed for the America Cup, in the city of Valencia.Platinum, the world’s largest yacht, here in DubaiIronically the Yacht Club looks more like the traditional yacht, than the new yacht that Foster + Partnershas designed for YachtPlus, a company founded by some rich guys from the city of London that aims to provide a shared ownership of fully staffed and serviced yachts around the world. The Foster-designed yacht uses the bubble-design that Norman applies to all his buildings, eliminating a sun deck on the front of the boat, in favor of a very spacious interior.
Danimarka
Bilimadamlarının demokrasi, sosyal adalet ve barışçı atmosfer kriterlerini baz alarak yaptığı geniş çaplı bir araştırmada, dünyanın en mutlu ülkesinin Danimarka olduğu ortaya çıktı.
Amerikan hükümetinin finanse ettiği Dünya Değerleri Araştırması'nın sonuçlarına göre ABD sıralamada 16. oldu. Siyasi çalkantılarla boğuşan fakir ülke Zimbabve ise son sıraya yerleşti. Danimarka Krallığı, ya da kısaca Danimarka (Danimarkacada Danmark) Kuzey Avrupa'da İskandinavya'da başkenti Kopenhag (København) olan bir ülkedir. Danimarka anayasal bir monarşi olup, devlet başkanı 2'inci Margrethe'dır. Grönland ve Faroe Adaları da Danimarka'ya aittir. İzlanda ise 1944'e dek Danimarka'nın egemenliği altında kalmıştır.
Danimarka'nın büyük bir bölümü Jylland yarımadası üzerindedir. Başkent, Danimarka adalarının en büyüğü olan Sjaelland'ın üzerinde kurulmuştur. Sjaelland, dar bir boğaz olan Sont Boğazı ile İsveç'ten ayrılır. Ayrıca, (bir köprü ile Jylland'a bağlı olan) Fyn, Lolland, Falster, Langeland ve Baltık Denizi'ndeki Bornholm adaları da Danimarka'ya aittir. Ülkenin güney komşusu Almanya'dır.
Danimarka 1973'ten beri Avrupa Birliği üyesidir.
Danimarka'ya hakim olan ilk kavim 8.-11. yüzyıl hüküm süren Vikinglerdir. Savaşçı bir ulus olarak tanınan Vikingler batıda Britanya, İzlanda, Grönland ve hatta Kuzey Amerika'ya kadar ulaşarak sömürgeler kurdular. Doğuda ise Karadeniz ve Hazar Denizi kıyılarına kadar uzanan yerleşim birimleri kurmuşlardır. İngiltere'nin büyük bir bölümü bu dönemde Viking egemenliği altında kaldı.
İskandinavyalı Mavi Diş Harald 980 yılında ilk defa olarak Danimarka ve Norveç'i birleştirerek bir krallık kurmayı başardı. Ayrıca Alman misyonerlerin etkisiyle Hristiyanlığı kabul etti. 1363 yılında Danimarka kralı IV. Valdemar'ın kızı I. Margrete, Norveç kralı VI. Håkon'la evlenerek iki ülkeyi bir bayrak altında birleştirdi. 1397 yılında İsveç, Norveç, Danimarka ve sömürgeleri (Faroe Adaları, İzlanda, Grönland ve Finlandiya) birleşerek Kalmar Birliği adı altında büyük bir İskandinav İmparatorluğu haline geldiler.
Danimarka'nın tarihinde ilk defa Mavi Diş Harald tarafından kurulduğunu belgeleyen Jelling kayaları.
1521 yılında İsveç Kalmar Birliği'nden resmen ayrıldı. Bu arada İskandinav ülkeleri Martin Luther tarafından Almanya'da başlatılan Protestan Reformu ile sarsıldı. Danimarka ve Norveç 1821 yılına kadar Danimarka-Norveç adı altında birlikte hareket etmeye devam ettiler. 19. yüzyılın başlarında Danimarka Napolyon Savaşları'yla temelinden sarsıldı. Birleşik Krallık filosu 1801 yılında Kopenhag'a saldırdı. Danimarka'nın müttefiki olan Fransa savaşı kaybedince Danimarka 1814 yılında imzaladığı Kiel Antlaşması uyarınca savaşı kazanan tarafın üyesi olan İsveç'e Norveç'i bırakmak zorunda kaldı.
20. yüzyılın ilk yıllarında Danimarka'nın Karayiplerdeki sömürgeleri ABD'ye satıldı. Danimarka I. ve II. Dünya Savaşları'nda tarafsız kaldı. Ancak 9 Nisan 1940 tarihinde Nazi Almanyası tarafından işgal edildi. Buna karşılık Birleşik Krallık ordusu Faroe Adaları ve İzlanda'yı işgal etti. İzlanda 17 Haziran 1944 tarihinde bağımsızlığını ilan ederek Danimarka'dan ayrıldı. Faroe Adaları ise 1948'de Danimarka'ya geri verildi.
Dünya savaşlarından sonra Danimarka tarafsızlık siyasetine son verdi. 1945 yılında Birleşmiş Milletler'e üye oldu. 1949 yılında ise NATO'nun kurucu üyelerinden biri oldu. 1 Ocak 1973 tarihinde de Avrupa Birliği'ne katılan Danimarka bazı konularda Avrupa Birliği'nin dışında kalmayı tercih etmektedir. Örneğin 2000 yılında yapılan bir referandumun reddedilmesi üzerine Danimarka Avro Alanı dışında kalmayı yeğlemiştir.

GOLF
Golf is a sport in which a player, using many types of clubs including a driver, a putter, and irons, hits a ball into each hole on a golf course in the lowest possible number of strokes. Golf is one of the few ball games that does not use a standardized playing area; rather, the game is played on golf "courses", each one of which has a unique design and typically consists of either 9 or 18 holes. Golf is defined in the Rules of Golf as "playing a ball with a club from the teeing ground into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in accordance with the RulesA golf ball next to a hole.The first game of golf for which records survive was played at Bruntsfield Links, in Edinburgh, Scotland, in A.D. 1456, recorded in the archives of the Edinburgh Burgess Golfing Society, now The Royal Burgess Golfing Society. The modern game of golf spread from Scotland to England and has now become a worldwide game, with golf courses in the majority of countries.Golf competition may be played as stroke play, in which the individual with the lowest number of strokes is declared the winner, stableford points play (as devised in 1931 by Dr. Frank Stableford of the Wallasey & Royal Liverpool Golf Clubs), in which the individual with the highest points score is declared the winner, or as match play with the winner determined by whichever individual or team posts the lower score on the most individual holes during a complete round. In addition, team events such as fourball have been introduced, and these can be played using either the stroke, stableford or matchplay format. Alternative ways to play golf have also been introduced, such as miniature golf, sholf and disc golf.Golf has increasingly turned into a spectator game, with several different levels of professional and amateur tours in many regions of the world. People such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Lorena Ochoa, Pádraig Harrington and Annika Sörenstam have become well-recognized sports figures across the world. Sponsorship has also become a huge part of the game and players often earn more from their sponsorship contracts than they do from the game itself.Golf is a game the exact origins of which are unclear. The origin of golf is open to debate as to being Dutch[3] or Scottish. However, the most accepted golf history theory is that golf as practised today originated from Scotland in the 1100s.[4]Scholars have claimed references to a form of golf from hieroglyphs found on stone tablets dating to ancient Egyptian Pharoahs. A game somewhat similar to golf was first mentioned in Dōngxuān Records (Chinese: 東軒錄), a Chinese book of 11th century. It was also mentioned on 26 February 1297 in the Netherlands in a city called Loenen aan de Vecht. Here the Dutch played a game with a stick and leather ball. Whoever hit the ball into a target several hundreds of meters away the least number of times, won.Modern golf is considered to be a Scottish invention,as the game was mentioned in two 15th century laws prohibiting the playing of the game of gowf. Some scholars have suggested that this refers to another game which is more akin to modern shinty, hurling or field hockey than golf. A game of putting a small ball into a hole in the ground using clubs was played in 17th century Netherlands. Flourishing trade over the North Sea during the Middle Ages and early Modern Period led to much language interaction between Scots, Dutch) and other languages. There are also reports of even earlier accounts of a golf like game from continental Europe.However, these earlier games are more accurately viewed as ancestors of the game we call golf, as the fact remains that the modern game of golf we understand today originated and developed in Scotland: The first golf club memberships were formed in Scotland. The earliest permanent golf course originated there too, as did the very first written rules, as did the establishment of the 18-hole course. The first formalized tournament structures also emerged there and competitions were arranged between different Scottish cities. Over time, the modern game spread to England and from there to the rest of the world. The oldest playing golf course in the world is The Musselburgh Old Links Golf Course. Evidence has shown that golf was played here in 1672 although Mary, Queen of Scots reputedly played there in 1567.As stated, golf courses have not always had eighteen holes. The St Andrews Links occupy a narrow strip of land along the sea. As early as the 15th century, golfers at St Andrews, in Fife, established a customary route through the undulating terrain, playing to holes whose locations were dictated by topography. The course that emerged featured eleven holes, laid out end to end from the clubhouse to the far end of the property. One played the holes out, turned around, and played the holes in, for a total of 22 holes. In 1764, several of the holes were deemed too short, and were therefore combined. The number was thereby reduced from 11 to nine, so that a complete round of the links comprised 18 holes. Due to the status of St Andrews as the golf capital, all other courses chose to follow suit and the 18-hole course remains the standard today.The major changes in equipment since the 19th century have been better mowers, especially for the greens, better golf ball designs, using rubber and man-made materials since about 1900, and the introduction of the metal shaft beginning in the 1930s. Also in the 1930s the wooden golf tee was invented. In the 1970s the use of steel and then titanium to replace wood heads began, and shafts made of "graphite" (also known as carbon fiber) were introduced in the 1980s. Though wooden tees are still most popular, various designs of plastic tees have been developed in recent years, and the synthetic materials composing the modern ball continue to be developed.Golf balls are famous for "dimples". These small dips in the surface of the golf ball decrease aerodynamic drag which allows the ball to fly farther. Golf is also famous for the use of flags. These show the position of the hole to players when they make their first drive and are too far away from the hole to aim accurately. When all players in a group are within putting distance, the flag is removed by a "caddy" or a fellow competitor to allow for easier access to the hole.World popularityIn 2005 Golf Digest calculated that there were nearly 32,000 golf courses in the world, approximately half of them in the United States. The countries with most golf courses in relation to population, starting with the best endowed were: Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Canada, Wales, United States, Sweden, and England (countries with fewer than 500,000 people were excluded). Apart from Sweden, all of these countries have English as the majority language, but the number of courses in new territories is increasing rapidly. For example the first golf course in the People's Republic of China opened in the mid-1980s, but by 2005 there were 200 courses in that country.The professional sport was initially dominated by Scottish then English golfers, but since World War I, America has produced the greatest quantity of leading professionals. Other Commonwealth countries such as Australia and South Africa are also traditional powers in the sport. Since around the 1970s, Japan, Scandinavian and other Western European countries have produced leading players on a regular basis. The number of countries with high-class professionals continues to increase steadily, especially in East Asia. South Korea is notably strong in women's golf.[11]The last decade or so has seen a marked increase in specialised golf vacations or holidays worldwide. This demand for travel which is centered around golf has led to the development of luxury resorts which cater to golfers and feature integrated golf courses.In the United States, the number of people who play golf 25 times or more per year fell from 6.9 million in 2000 to 4.6 million in 2005, according to the National Golf Foundation. The Foundation reported a smaller decline in the number who played golf at all; it fell from 30 million to 26 million over the same period
