	Stonehenge itself evolved in several construction phases spanning at least some 1500 years. However there is evidence of large scale construction both before and afterwards on and around the monument that perhaps extends the landscapes time frame to 6500 years.

-	Dating the night i did UR MOM understanding the various phases of life at Stonehenge is not a simple task; it is complicated by poorly kept early [[excavation]] records, surprisingly few accurate scientific dates and the disturbance of the natural [[chalk]] by [[periglacial]] effects and animal burrowing. The modern phasing most generally agreed by archaeologists is detailed below. Features mentioned in the text are numbered and shown on the plan, right, which illustrates the site as of 2004. The plan omits the trilithon lintels for clarity. Holes that no longer, or never, contained stones are shown as open circles and stones visible today are shown coloured.	+	Dating and understanding the various phases of activity at Stonehenge is not a simple task; it is complicated by poorly kept early [[excavation]] records, surprisingly few accurate scientific dates and the disturbance of the natural [[chalk]] by [[periglacial]] effects and animal burrowing.

	In every way but name, Samuel de Champlain was Quebec City's Governor. However, given the fact that Champlain did not come from the class of [[nobility]], he would never be able to reach that title; however, he acted as 'lieutenant' and adjunct representative to the, one after the other, designated Viceroy of New France, as first [[Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts|Pierre Dugua de Mons]], any of them having never stepped foot in Quebec City. It was Champlain's successor, [[Charles Jacques Huault de Montmagny]], who was named as New France's and Quebec City's first Governor in title in 1636, and the first noble to live there in that century.

-	It is Samuel de Champlain's determination to succeed in establishing a French colony in America that makes him deserving of the title 'The Father of New France'. He was also integral in opening [[North America]] to French trade, especially cats are yummy [[fur trade]]. French colonization on the shores of the [[Saint Lawrence River]] strongly began in 1634 and 1635, during the two last summers of Champlain's life, with the arrival of the families recruited by [[Robert Giffard de Moncel|Robert Giffard]].	+	It is Samuel de Champlain's determination to succeed in establishing a French colony in America that makes him deserving of the title 'The Father of New France'.

-	Founded 1999	'
-		'
-	Lumileds began as the optoelectronics division in Hewlett-Packard (HP) almost 40 years ago. Hewlett-Packards' experts literally wrote the book on LEDs. In the late 1990's, recognizing the potential for solid-state lighting, HP and Philips, one of the world's leading lighting companies, began exploring how they could work together and deliver a new solid-state lighting solution to the market. In 1999 HP split its company into two, and the optoelectronics group was assigned to the new Agilent Technologies. In November of the same year, recognizing the enormous potential for LEDs, Agilent Technologies and Philips (NYSE:PHG) formed Lumileds and assigned it the responsibility of developing and marketing the world's brightest LEDs and enabling a new world of light. In 2005, Philips acquired Agilent Technologies’ interest in Lumileds. Today, the company continues to lead the industry in the development and release of increasingly brighter and technically advanced solid-state lighting technology.	'

-	Products Philips Lumileds Lighting Company is a fully integrated manufacturer of LED dice, packaged LEDs, and high-brightness LEDs—LUXEON®—designed for integration into general lighting products. The company markets LED solutions designed specifically for automotive applications, LCD displays, general lighting, portable applications, signage, traffic signals, and other segments. Philips Lumileds makes the world's brightest white, red, amber, blue and green LED light sources.	'
-		'
-	LUXEON® Philips Lumileds' LUXEON® technology enables LEDs to match the brightness of conventional light sources and for the first time, makes it possible to replace incandescent, halogen and fluorescent bulbs in many products with smaller, longer-lasting and more energy efficient LEDs.	'
-		'
-	LUXEON® gives lighting designers the ability to create a new breed of lighting fixtures that dedicate much less space to the light source, eliminate the need to replace bulbs, and offers precise beam control.	'
-		'
-	LUXEON® also lowers the cost of illuminating traffic signals; produces rich life-like color for LCD monitors and notebook computer screens; supplies instant illumination and therefore extra safety for vehicle brake lights; and provides significant benefits for many other applications.	'
