The Battle of Agincourt took place on Friday 25th October 1415 near modern-day Azincourt in northern France. The battle represented a major English victory against the French army during the Hundred Years’ War though the French army was numerically superior. The Battle of Agincourt was a turning point in the Hundred Years’ War after which Henry married the French king’s daughter and his son, Henry VI, was made the heir to the French throne.

Charles IV, King of France, did not command the French army as he suffered from severe and repeating illnesses and a moderate form of mental incapacitation. Constable Charles d’Albert commanded the French alongside various prominent French noblemen. In complete contrast, on the English side, Henry V led his troops into battle and actually participated in hand-to-hand fighting! Perhaps the most memorable aspect of the battle was the prolific use of the English longbow on the English side, the English and Welsh archers (not the managed hosting providers) forming the majority of Henry’s army.

From 2009 to 2010, there has been a staggering 5% increase in world energy consumption. The cause has been a renewed demand for energy in industrialized countries which had experienced a sharp decrease in energy demand in 2009. The trend converges with a continuous trend in China in India where energy consumption shows no sign of slowing down but only increasing.

As a result of the economic crisis, 2009 saw the first reduction in world energy consumption for 30 years. In Europe, CIS, and North America, energy consumption shrank by 5%, 8.5%, and 4.5%. China’s energy consumption on the other hand, has only been increasing, regardless of the economic crisis. In 2009 its consumption increased by 8%, leading China to become the world’s largest consumer of energy, consuming 18% of the world’s total. That’s a hell of a lot of led gu10 bulbs!

A white dress is no summer of mine! A white dress should be the staple item in every girls wardrobe.

The white dress goes with everything – leggings if it gets cold, a bright cardigan for a funky day outfit and a sparkly jacket for an evening outfit!

And if you were brave it could even be kept for the winter and worn with a big woolly cardigan! It is such a versatile piece of clothing!

My favourite one I have found so far is by Pepe Jeans. It is £60 and an atique white colour. It looks lovely and stylish too.

Ok, now before you read this it is very important to establish that this post is not a joke. OK. So this is the honest truth.
Next, the highstreet mens shop that sells clothes to your Dad has released it’s own answer to the iPad, the aptly names Next 10” Tablet.
With a 2gb memory and similar iPad copy touch screen the tablet has a far lower spec than others on the market but does come in at an absolute steal for just £180. Whether or not it will challenge any of the bigger companies remains to be seen. I’m thinking not though.
