monuments. One of her greatest achievements in architecture was two obelisks, built in her honor. One of the obelisks is still standing in Egypt today. Did you know that we have an obelisk in Washington D.C. and it’s one of our greatest monuments? If you have never been to Washington D.C. to see it, why not go to Egypt to see one!
Tutmosis II had only four years ruling Egypt until his death. Tutmosis III was still a young child, and could not rule. So Queen Hatshepsut was his advisor. She was only supposed to rule until he was of age, but she refused to give up the throne. Tutmosis III did not say or do anything about this, but let Hatshepsut rule. Determined to keep Tutmosis the Thirds mind set, and to show Egypt that she could be a real Pharaoh, she dressed as a man, even wearing false beards. She ruled until she died, at a young age, though some archeologists thing that she might have died at age 50. That would be 20 years past the Egyptian life expectancy.

A mysterious death? A Queen who became a King? A monument she built is the mirror image of one of ours? A great Pharaoh who was erased from history forever? Queen Hatshepsut is all of these things along with being one of the greatest female Pharaohs of Egypt.
Queen Hatshepsut married her brother Tutmosis II at age 15 after her father died. Hatshepsut had one daughter, Neferue who died at a young age. Since Hatshepsut had supposedly no other children, Tutmosis II fathered another child, Tutmosis III whose mother is not known.
Hatshepsut lived in the 18th Dynasty, in the beginning of the New Kingdom. She built many temples, and

Queen Hatshepsuts toumb was found on Sunday July 15 2007. Untill then most people believed that her mysterious death was caused by her stepson who was jelous of her. He assured all of the people that she was mummified and saftly in her toumb. The break through on the discovery was a simple box, that had Hatshepsuts cartosh.

Qflix

August 8, 2007

Sonic Solutions, which owns the Roxio DVD creation products and high-end DVD authoring systems, has announced Qflix, a certification and licensing program which will enable users to burn downloaded, Hollywood studio video to DVDs protected with Content Scramble System (CSS) encryption—and these DVDs would be playable in any standard consumer DVD player. The catch: Qflix requires a completely new end-to-end system to work: Qflix-created disks will require special DVD media, burning software will have to be updated to support Qflix, and burners will either have to be replaced or upgraded via firmware. Sonic also has to roll out a network of secure key servers to support the technology. But that’s all easy stuff, right, for the benefits of a simple buy-download-and-burn solution for distributing DVD friendly digital video. (Right?) Sonic will detail the solution—which will come in two flavors, Qflix for consumers and Qflix Pro for enterprises—next week at CES.

Part of Sonic’s vision with Qflix is to enable the creation of in-store kiosks which would enable users to select from thousands of movies, television shows, and video titles, choose to burn them to DVD right there in the store, and take them home. Burning a DVD would take 10 to 15 minutes and would be compatible with nearly all consumer DVD players. The appeal of kiosks is that they can offer television shows and obscure titles which are too expensive for video stores too keep in stock, but which could, in aggregate, generate significant revenue if they could be brought to market in an easy, accessible manner.

Sonic has announced support from Warner Brothers, video download service Movielink, kiosk manufacturers like Lucidiom, hardware manufacturers like Plextor, and Verbatim is on board to create the Qflix DVD media. The Qflix service is possible in part because the DVD Copy Control Association eased restrictions on DVD copying to enable DVD jukebox kiosks—and perhaps download-to-burn online movie stores—last summer.

“The floodgates of digital distribution are about to burst, so now is the perfect time to provide an innovative technical solution that combines the advantages of electronic delivery with the simplicity and universal playback capabilities of CSS-protected DVDs,” said Jim Taylor, general manager of Sonic’s Advanced Technology Group. “Downloading to computers, portable devices, and Internet-connected TV set-top boxes are all emerging pieces of the digital media ecosystem, but the entertainment value chain is incomplete without a cost-effective way to digitally deliver content that can be owned and viewed in the consumer’s entertainment venues of choice, including the living room. Qflix delivers this and opens many new channels for vast amounts of video programming such as TV shows, back-catalog movies, special interest programs, independent films, educational titles, and much, much more.”

We’ll see. In the meantime, keep an eye out for Qflix-branded media, players, and software in the coming year.
