I stood at the front of the class, full of enthusiasm, ready to deliver a training course on a wonderful, new, soon-to-go-live software product. It was a hands-on course with lots of exercises and fun quizzes. I'd worked hard with the project team to make sure we'd keep the focus on relevant features for the different departments who were completing the training programme.
What was missing?
Before we'd even switched on a machine, the questions were coming thick and fast. How will this change my role? How will I work with department x? Where will I find y? And.. why are we doing this?
Was explaining all that part of my job? I was the software expert, not an organisational change guru.
It was my job that day, and in a way, it still is now.
The things you can't see
Technical communicators create conceptual content as well as instructions. They build visual as well as text-based content. And today, all of this information can be consumed and shared via your web site by people, for whom a product purchase is but a twinkle in the eye of some far away budget holder.
The value that technical communicators bring is not in describing what the user can see, but what the user can't.
That includes: seriously technical content – how to build a complex customisation that you can't see yet; and it's content which answers conceptual and scenario-based questions – how do I relate this to my role, my world, to the thing I have to get done right now?
Today, there are lots of ways to gain insights into the things which your users cannot see clearly, without physically being in the same room as them. However, few come close to delivering an equivalent injection of empathy.
And you'll carry that with you for a long time afterwards.

Fairfield County Highpoint Trip Report
Date: April 22, 2007
Author: Don Desrosiers
The problems on this one were mine. My micro-level maps were correct, although I cannot say the same for the macro-level ones. Thus, I got to where I thought I should be, noted that the ground didn't look like what I was anticipating; and that the GPS indicated I was 4.5 miles from my desired destination. So, I just figured it out! Ha! Akin Hall, mentioned by Dan Case, is an impressive stone building that looks like a church but is in reality a library. Good landmark. Otherwise, I kept going, stealthed it in from about as far as you can drive in and, like Mr. Case, did not lose sight of my car. Finding the traces of old stone wall helped. On a personal note, this extends my home glob from GA to the MA-VT line and leaves me 2 counties shy of a ME-GA glob.

- Rinse the filter and brewer with hot water and dump the water out into the sink. This step is done prior to brewing, to prep the filter and to ensure that the coffee will not pick up a paper flavor.
- Now it's time to grind! Pour 50 grams of whole bean coffee into a grinder and make sure that it's set for a medium grind.
- Once you're done grinding, scoop the coffee into the filter at the top of the chemex.
- Next, use a pour over kettle to heat the water. Then, pour the hot water onto the bed of coffee and wait for about 30 seconds allowing the grinds to bloom. Continue pouring the hot water in a circular motion until the bed of coffee is fully saturated.
- Let the coffee brew for a few minutes and once you've reached your desired amount of coffee remove the filter.

Malaysian Muslims called for jihad against Cadbury after pig DNA was found in imported chocolates this week.
Cadbury immediately removed the affected chocolates from the Malaysian market.
Now affected Muslims want Cadbury to pay for blood transfusions.
Malaysia Chronicle reported, via Religion of Peace:
Advertisement - story continues below
Muslim outrage here over Cadbury's porcine-tainted chocolates far eclipses their response to greater sins such as corruption and exaggerates the gravity of the issue, former Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Asri Zainul Abidin said today.
The Islamic scholar said that while it was commendable for Muslims to protest against Cadbury as it was within their rights as consumers, they should not go overboard or go through "extreme" lengths in doing so.
TRENDING: RUMORS SWIRLING: President Trump's Recent Actions Indicate Something HUGE Is About to Drop
"It is unfortunate that at the same time we are not up in arms against matters which are clearly 'haram' such as usury, corruption, misuse of public funds and so on.
"This is the Islamic understanding of only thinking that pork is 'haram' but not gambling, usury or corruption, despite the fact that the sins from these are bigger than consuming pork," he wrote in a posting on his official Facebook page this morning, which has so far garnered over 26,000 likes and 9,000 shares.

Asri pointed out that Islam is not a "nonsensical and troublesome" religion, and that if a Muslim unknowingly consumes pork, he or she would not be punished by Allah.
He said that calls by some people for "blood transfusions" to cleanse one's blood due to consumption of the tainted Cadbury products was "excessive" and "extreme".

explora Rapa Nui
Tranquil spot with a dramatic location
Located on mythical Easter Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Explora Rapa Nui – Posada de Mike Rapu opened in December, 2007. Facing the sea, the hotel sits on 237 acres in the south-western part of the island, approximately five miles from Hanga Roa, the only town on the island.
Explora Rapa Nui is the most sought after property for travellers to Easter Island, a land whose origins and evolution remain unexplained. The lodge was the first in South America to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification from the United States Green Building Council. All of the rooms, which extend to the north and south from a central building, have excellent ocean views. The lodge has welcoming indoor spaces which integrate aspects of the local culture. The design is intended to have minimal impact on its surroundings, and the lodge is built on a site which is inappropriate for agricultural use and has no archaeological remains. The flora surrounding it has been maintained intact. The rooms of this all-inclusive hotel spread out from the central area housing the reception, living areas, bar, and kitchen. Next to the common areas is the Casa de Baños Hare Vai spa, with a pool, massage facility and open-air Jacuzzis. Explora Rapa Nui was constructed using volcanic rock and wood from the island.
Every day you can choose from a wide range of explorations on foot, by bicycle or by boat, a couple of hours or full day, relaxed or physically demanding. Explore with specialist guides the mysterious stone statues, or moais, that form an almost unbroken ring around the coast. Learn traditional fishing techniques or snorkel in crystal clear waters amongst abundant marine life.
Explora Rapa Nui is located on a tranquil spot from which the island's mysteries and dramatic isolation are in full view.
Why we like it
- Innovative architecture
- Environmentaly friendly
- Great cultural interaction
- Discover the island's unique geography and
- Heritage on foot, bike or boat

How To Locate your Main Water Shut Off Valve
Are You Prepared for Water Damage?
Oh no! There's a leak somewhere in your house! You see the water pouring out; maybe it's the water faucet leaking, or maybe it's the washing machine...Or maybe you don't know yet what's wrong, but you see the water on the floor and you need to stop this right away! Quickly, run to your water shut-off valve and turn it off to stop the leak! What? You don't know where it is? But the water is building up...You have to stop it NOW or could have thousands of dollars worth of damage!
Knowing Your House
Here at AdvantaClean we work with thousands of homeowners every year, and we've seen lots of instances of water damage; ruined drywall, mold growth, warped carpet and loss of family treasures. Sadly, in many of these cases the damage could have been much smaller, but no one in the family knew where the water shut off was. Precious time is wasted looking for the shut off, and in case of a water leak, time is definitely money - money you'll have to spend on repairs.
To avoid this situation, it's vital that you and your family prepare ahead of time and know where all of the water valves are in the house. Yes, that means that even your kids should know this information, to stop a bad situation in its tracks.
Main Water Valves
To understand the best way to solve a water leak during an emergency, it's important to know that there are two types of water valves; main valves (which regulate water to your entire house), and fixture valves (which regulate water to a specific fixture, like a sink).
Typically, when you look at the water meter, you will notice that there is a main valve on either side. One shuts off water to the meter, and the other shuts off the water from the meter to the house. If you are experiencing a water leak and need to turn off the water to the entire house quickly, it's always a good idea to shut off the valve on the house side of the meter first. This will usually stop the water flow.
However, if there is something wrong and it does not work, you can shut off the valve that leads up to the meter. Usually, this valve is reserved only for the utility company's use, but if the house-side valve does not work in an emergency (perhaps it rusted out), you might not have any other choice.
Fixture Water Valves
If you experience a water flooding emergency and know exactly which fixture is causing the problem, you may want to shut off that specific valve; thus leaving water for the rest of the house. Keep in mind, however, that fixture valves do tend to drip when shut off, so you'll want to have a bucket ready.
Prepare Ahead of Time
There is nothing worse than dealing with a homeflood emergency and not knowing where the shut off valve is. By looking for the valves ahead of time and ensuring that all of the family members in your home know how to operate the valves, you can save yourself a lot of money and panic in case of an emergency. So, moving forward, add locating your home's water valves to your family's contingency plan and don't forget to review it in detail at least once a year!

Of all the strange creatures in the documentary "Big River Man," including the slithering snakes, watchful crocodiles and something called the penis fish (you don't want to know), few seem as weird or wondrous as its title character. Otherwise known as Martin Strel, the big man here is an outsized Slovenian who, well into adulthood, decided to swim for reasons he can't truly explain the length of some of the longest, most perilous rivers in the world, including the Mississippi. An eccentric worthy of Werner Herzog, Mr. Strel was born to swim, at least on camera: he's a bobbing, at times foundering star attraction.
"Big River Man" tracks Mr. Strel's improbable 2007 conquest of the Amazon, which began in Peru on Feb. 1 and ended 66 event-and-parasite-filled days later in Brazil on April 7. For more than two months Mr. Strel, then 53, and his retinue along with the director John Maringouin churned through 3,274 miles of river on an adventure that crossed national and psychological borders and often seemed downright absurd if not entirely pointless. Mr. Strel liked to say he was swimming the Amazon in order to protect the rain forest, even if, as his son, Borut, freely says mid-excursion, "No one knew exactly what the hell he meant by that." But as the self-help books say, it's the journey that's important, not the destination. And so it is here.
How and why Mr. Strel decided to become an endurance swimmer remains as murky as some of the waters he braves in the movie, despite some biographical details. There's an abusive father lurking in the past. Mostly, though, you get the sense that Mr. Strel, a former (if not entirely reformed) gambler turned flamenco guitar teacher (really), wanted something to do. Whatever the case, he didn't take to his new recreational habit lightly. During training, Mr. Strel swims five hours a day and spends some of his remaining time in a cave. "He believes," Borut explains, "that if he thinks like an animal while he's swimming the Amazon, he will not get eaten." Given that the older Mr. Strel made it out alive, he might be on to something.
No man swims alone, especially for weeks at a time, and in "Big River Man" Mr. Strel is flanked by his usual assistants, including Borut, his closest aide, who serves as the movie's brightly descriptive, often very funny narrator. Joining them is Mr. Strel's navigator, Matthew Mohlke, a total dude who used to push supermarket carts back home in the States. ("I'm just a fisherman from Wisconsin," he says, though he seems more Californian.) Also along for the ride, of course, is Mr. Maringouin, a multitasker making his third feature, who shot the movie on HD and served as one of its producers and editors. (Among the other producers are the singer Olivia Newton-John Easterling and her husband, John Easterling, founder of the Amazon Herb Company.)
Although he stays out of the picture and largely out of earshot, Mr. Maringouin doesn't feign neutrality. The movie opens with some text, a quotation from the French writer Jacques Prévert, which is clearly meant to give you pause: "When I see a swimmer, I paint a drowned man." (The line, somewhat differently translated, is from the Marcel Carné film "Port of Shadows.") The quotation points you in a direction, certainly. But Mr. Maringouin doesn't force the issue, letting questions about Mr. Strel's mission and his fitness, physical and otherwise, emerge from the material. This seems less a matter of ethics or personal reserve: Mr. Strel's behavior he drinks booze, for instance, while he swims seems answer enough.
Mr. Strel is a documentarian's gift by virtue of his larger-than-life eccentricities and appetites. But "Big River Man" isn't a standout for its subject alone. It takes real filmmaking skill to turn a fat man in a wet suit, slimed in Vaseline and lanolin (a precaution against parasites), slicing through brown water for hours, weeks, months, into mesmerizing cinema, even with lurking crocodiles. As his attention to detail and beauty shots prove, Mr. Maringouin has a terrific eye: he brings you close to Mr. Strel, sometimes within panting distance, without forgetting the larger, lovelier world. Yet as is often the case with documentaries of this sort, which can involve countless hours of material, it is the editing that distinguishes and makes the movie.
Working with his co-editor, Molly Lynch, Mr. Maringouin has shaped a richly textured narrative about human endeavor that ebbs and flows, surprises and touches and sometimes even disgusts (just a little). Mr. Strel isn't terribly articulate: his son does most of his talking (and hustling), at least here, which limits how far you get inside his head. (In one late scene, though, Mr. Maringouin expressionistically evokes the delirium and loneliness of his long-distance swimmer through a flurry of jagged angles and cuts.) Yet while Mr. Strel seems incapable of explaining himself, the documentary, which churns, drifts and surges around him like water, is finally an argument for wonder: Why does this or any man swim? Because, as Mr. Maringouin suggests, we are a mystery.
Opens on Friday in Manhattan.
Directed by John Maringouin; co-directed and conceived by Molly Lynch; written and edited by Mr. Maringouin and Ms. Lynch; director of photography, Mr. Maringouin; music by Rich Ragsdale; produced by Maria Florio, Ms. Lynch, Mr. Maringouin and Kevin Ragsdale; executive producers, Olivia Newton-John Easterling and John Easterling; released by the Salt Company, Self Pictures, KNR Productions and Earthworks Films.

Have you ever been so freezing cold you can feel the frost bite migrating throughout your body? That was how I felt standing in line on Saturday night for a bar in the meatpacking district called 675. Since when do people stand on line for bars? All I could think was that they must have been giving out free blow jobs inside because the bouncer was not letting anyone in and not too many folks were coming out. We never made it inside due to hypothermia and impatience. Although, I walked away intrigued, and I will be back. We strolled over to Gaslight Lounge not too far away from 675. Nice crowd, some cute men, and many of them were wearing jeans. Don't get me wrong, they were nice jeans and this was meatpacking. But some men really feel they need to wear
Honestly, I have known some men who feel naked if they aren't wearing denim. I was never really one for the "nice jeans paired with a blazer or sports jacket" look but I guess it is mildly acceptable. (Downtown only of course) I know we all like to stay in our comfort zones at times but seriously, "step away from the jeans" Open yourself up to a world of dress pants, khakis, or dare I say corduroy?!?! There are other textures out there. Anything, other than jeans all the time. Everyone loves a good pair of jeans; I have even heard men say they feel that with jeans they can't go wrong. This is so foolish, you can go wrong my friends, by wearing jeans like they are your uniform. Beauty, fashion, and just plain looking good is about more than being comfortable. So get yourself over to a Bloomingdale's or a J.Crew or an Express Men or whatever store tickles your fancy (never an Old Navy!) and get yourself a nice pair of pants! Think about the famous scene from Donnie Brasco when Al Pacino's character Lefty looks at Johnny Depp's character Donnie who wears jeans all the time and says something along the lines of, "…go get a pair of pants, this isn't a f**king rodeo!" Jeans are allowed; they are comfy, sexy and downright American, they just can not be worn for every occasion possible. You would not want your crush whispering, "Is that the only pair of pants he owns?" would you? Change it up cowboy!
"I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity – all I hope for in my clothes." ~Yves Saint Laurent
Quick Aside: I hope it goes without saying that skinny jeans, tapered jeans, or Cavaricci jeans are never allowed, not even on AC Slater.

Transparency Market Research has recently announced the publication of a new market research report. The research report, titled "Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) Prognostic Technologies Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020," provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) prognostic technologies. A market overview, product segmentation, market drivers, restraints, market trends, and competitive landscape of the overall market have been analyzed in this research report. According to the research report, the global CTCs prognostic technologies market is estimated to reach US$2.16 bn, exhibiting 26.30% CAGR between 2014 and 2020.
Browse the full Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) Prognostic Technologies Market - Technologies: Tumor Cell Enrichment (Filtration, Centrifugation and Immunological & Immunomagnetic Methods) & Tumor Cell Detection (Molecular Methods and Optical Methods) and Applications: Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer and Others - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020 report https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/ctcs-prognostic-technologies-market.html
As per the research report, rising prevalence of cancer globally, along with substantial developments in therapeutic monitoring, is expected to propel the global CTCs prognostic technologies market. On the flip side, the high cost associated with CTCs diagnostics, lack of awareness about CTCs prognostic technologies and reluctance for the adoption of these technologies are some of the factors that are expected to hamper the growth of this market in the forecast period.
By technology, the two major segments of the global market for CTCs prognostic technologies include tumor cell detection and tumor cell enrichment. The tumor cell detection segment is further sub-segmented into optical methods and molecular methods. Among these segments, the optical methods segment is projected to exhibit 27.30% CAGR from 2014 to 2020. On the other hand, the tumor cell enrichment segment is divided into immunological and immunomagnetic methods, filtration, and centrifugation. In these sub-segments, immunomagnetic methods accounted for the largest share in the overall tumor cell enrichment segment.
By application, the global market for CTCs prognostic technologies has been classified into colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and others (such as ovarian cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer). Among these, the prostate cancer segment is estimated to exhibit 25.20% CAGR; whereas, the breast cancer segment is expected to register 27.10% CAGR between 2014 and 2020.
Geographically, the global market for CTCs prognostic technologies has been segmented into Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Among all these regions, North America dominated the overall CTCs prognostic technologies market. The high growth of this region can be attributed to the rising prevalence rate of cancer and increasing adoption of advanced prognostic technologies. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is also expected to register steady growth in the forecast period owing to the estimated rise in different types of cancers along with several research and development initiatives taken by the governments and major players.
Furthermore, the research report evaluates the competitive landscape of the global CTCs prognostic technologies market on the basis of several parameters such as company profile, inception details, financial overview, business strategies, SWOT analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and recent developments. Some of the prominent players operating in the market are Advanced Cell Diagnostics, AdnaGen, Rarecells USA, AVIVA Biosciences Corp., Celula, Veridex, Vitatex, Fluxion Biosciences, Silicon Biosystems, and Epic Sciences.

Covid-19 Update
We are shipping as normal. However, the shipping companies have been experiencing a lot of transit delays under the current situations. At this point it is not uncommon for shipments to be "stuck" for several days. Please understand and expect this right now. In virtually all cases, the shipments are arriving as expected, but many are taking longer than any of us are used to.
This modular sword scabbard can be used for both right and left handed swordsmen in all its different configurations and is made from top grain leather with stitched construction and will fit many swords with blades that are up to 37 in length. The buckles on both the scabbard and the straps are crafted from durable antique-finished steel. This scabbard is a good way to get an easy and affordable scabbard for swords which do not come with scabbards or for sword scabbards which can not be worn in the way you desire. Sizing info is below.
The scabbard can be modified to be worn in a variety of configurations with its system of separate straps and buckles. By utilizing some or all of the buckled mounting points on the scabbard a variety of wearing configurations can be achieved. These include:
1. Wearing the sword at an angle on the hip by using half the straps to create a sword belt
2. Wearing the sword at an angle on the back
3.Wearing the sword vertically on the back. For this configuration three different attachment methods can be used. The straps can be made to criss cross across the chest or they can be made to go horizontally around the chest and waist (not pictured). They can also be arranged to function as standard backpack style straps.
4. There is also a simple belt loop on the reverse of the scabbard which allows for the scabbard to slide onto a leather belt to hang vertically.
Please Note: These scabbards work best with swords that have a tapered profile shape which closely matches the scabbard. Perfectly straight blades may work if they are thin enough in width. Please be aware that not all swords of proper length may fit well if they have a blade shape too far outside the profile of the scabbard. Also, because these scabbards are designed to fit a large variety of swords they may not have a tight fit with your particular sword even if it fits into the scabbard.
The wearing method of having the sword over your back at an angle may not work well depending on the weight and balance of your sword. Hilt heavy blades will have a tendency to drag down the shoulder and you may find that you need to modify this configuration with your own additional supporting straps for optimum fit and security.
We do not recommend using leather scabbards for long term storage of your sword blades as leather has a tendency to collect moisture which will accelerate the rusting of your blade when extended contact is made with damp leather. Wooden scabbards are a better storage solution.
Please Note: Sword is not included and is shown in photos soley for demonstration purposes only.
Will fit blades up to 37'' in length
Width of Blade Slot at Opening: 2''
Straps extend to appx. 44'' max circumference - you may need to make your own straps if greater circumference is required,
Overall Length: 38''

With the end getting closer, I started to think about all the things I would miss about the Camino:
October 2, 2018
October 1, 2018
September 30, 2018
Usually we eat a breakfast of banana and yogurt that we buy the night before in a supermercado. If an albergue has breakfast, it's toast, coffee and orange juice. This morning at Pension Fernandez, we were greeted with a feast laid out for us when we woke up. We had toast, lots of different pastries, cheese, fruit, orange juice, and coffee. We were well fortified for a hike over the Galician Mountains. There was quite a bit of elevation gain, but it felt good after days of flat walking on pavement. When I hike uphill, nothing hurts for some reason. We hiked in the dark, as usual, for over an hour and as the sky began to lighten, we had an incredible view of pastures and mountains and the sunrise. I was thinking that there was no place else I'd rather be at that moment, just as Enrique turned to me and said, " Being up here right now is something else."
As we hiked, we left the province of Castilla y León and entered the province of Galicia, the province of Santiago! Each region marks the Camino differently, and in Galicia they have stone markers every kilometer with the distance left to Santiago. We have under 160 kilometers remaining which is less than 100 miles.
Partway up the mountain, we ran into Jackie and John, a couple from England we met over a week ago. We've been seeing them off and on. It was good to see them walking easily because they'd been having a lot of problems with blisters the last time we saw them.
Up and up and up we climbed. Our destination is a small village called Fonfria, population 41, mostly cows, I think. I was worried that a village this small would have an old run-down albergue, but the place we're staying, Albergue de Reboleira, is new and beautiful. There is a large room with bunk beds, but then the manager led us to a smaller room with bunk beds, but the bottom bunk is a king-size bed! That didn't make my list of albergue amenities because I never imagined that was possible. And we finished the evening with a Galician pilgrim dinner.

July 25, 2013 Body Falls From Air France Flight.
A body fell from Air France flight 547 on approach to Niamy, Niger before continuing on to Paris. The Airbus 330-200 originated from Ouagadougau, Burkina Faso. The person, a presumed stowaway, had most likely hidden in one of the wheel wells and fallen when the gear opened for landing. As the flight was only 261 miles long, it highly likely that the individual was still alive at the time of his fall. Most stowaways freeze to death due to the extreme cold from long periods of high altitude flight. Unfortunately, this event is not uncommon and happens several times a year from flights originating in Africa. A post flight inspection of the aircraft discovered blood on one of the wings and the plane has been grounded pending a more thorough inspection.
I really wish events like this didn't happen, but they do. Events like this only serve to reinforce the idea that something needs to be done to help the developing world.
As my normal signature would seem trite, I will only say be well.

February 12, 2013 How not to use a 777
The costs of flying a commercial plane are simple to understand. There is the fuel for the flight, the debt on the aircraft, the cost of the meals, the salaries of the pilots, FA's, and all of the ground staff, and the ground services. The more people that can be packed on the plane the less each passenger has to pay for his or her ticket. So, it's in the airlines best interest to do exactly that. While airlines are quick to announce improvements to their product, downgrades pass with little notice.
The 777 entered into service in 1996. Economy, Steerage, Y was originally designed with nine abreast seating. The common layout is 3-3-3, three seats on each side of the plane with a three seat center section. Some airlines used a 2-5-2 configuration. Anyways the nine-abreast configuration has been starting to disappear. Carriers such as Emirates and Air France followed by KLM have switched to a 3-4-3 configuration adding a seat to the center section. Seeing as the plane cannot get wider the space for the extra-seat comes from decreasing the width of all the other seats and the aisles by roughly an inch-and-a-half. That may not sound like much, but when one is crammed next to a person of size who is already spilling over the armrest, this change only makes that worse.
While Emirates and AF/KLM have had the 3-4-3 configuration for several years now it has seen a surge in popularity. Recently Air New Zealand and most distressing of all American Airline are both ordering their 777-300ers with the new configuration and this past week Air Canada order new 777-300ers in a 3-4-3 configuration.
In addition to the reduced width the 20-30 extra people require feeding and watering as well as facilities. More bodies using the same resources means fewer resources for everyone on the plane. On a two hour short-haul flight seat width and comfort may not matter, but on a twelve hour flight to New Zealand comfort matters, a lot. I would recommend avoiding those configurations if at all possible.
Happy Travels

July 5, 2012 AF 447, the final report
On June 1, 2009 Air France flight 447 from Rio to Paris fell from the sky over the Atlantic Ocean killing all 228 passengers and crew. Today July, 5th 2012, the final report on the accident was released by the BEA the French aviation authority. This report containing numerous recommendations represents the final word on what happened.
What happened? Well if you have seen the Nova film on the matter, then you have a good idea. If you haven't you should. I'll do my best to explain.
Cruise flight in a modern aircraft occurs at high altitude. Makes sense the higher the altitude the less air, the easier it is to move the aircraft through space. The downside is the aircraft has to be going fast enough to move enough air over the wings to generate lift.
Thus, infinite speed infinite altitude right? No.
At those speeds going though air is like going through soup. The aircraft causes disruptions in air. Too fast and these disruptions break the flow of air over the wings causing a high speed stall. Too slow, it stalls, too fast it stalls. The speed in-between is called the coffin corner. 20-30 knts either way at altitude and the aircraft stalls.
How do you measure speed. Well, at cruise flight speed is a function of pressure. The aircraft needs to know how much pressure is pushing against the front of the aircraft. They use pitot tubes. The measure pressure.
In this case the pitot tubes iced over. Thus the aircraft was unable measure pressure. So AF447's electronic brain concluded that the pilot should fly the plane.
Ok, so if you don't know the speed, you eventually stall and then you die.
No. If that were true there would be a lot fewer planes around. Airbus built in a setting where the aircraft will be airworthy. 85% power and 5 degrees nose up and the pilots will be able to control the aircraft.
If this is true why did AF447 crash? Well the pilots didn't fly the aircraft. Imagine this.
You're a commercial pilot, you're 3hrs in to a 10hr flight. The flight is going smoothly, systems seem ok, dinner was just finished, and through a combination of food, stability, and slight tiredness, you're not as alert. You know the majority of incidents happen on takeoff and landing, so there is not much to worry about. Oh and it is pitch black outside and inside. Then all hell breaks lose. Lights are now flashing on the control panels, audio alarms are going off proclaiming multiple emergencies, and you have no idea why all of this is happening.
The purpose of these alarms were to draw the attention of the pilot. The pilots of AF447 were both fairly junior. The senior pilot was having a rest. This is standard procedure for all international airlines. However, here the situation went from fine to catastrophic in a matter of seconds. The pilots did what anyone would do, panic.
Panic is something good airline crews plan for. It's called crew resource management. Step one of the plan is secure oxygen. Step two is fly the plane. Step three is assess the situation. Step four is take appropriate steps to remedy the problem. Granted this is an over-simplification but it works here.
The crew on AF447 didn't fly the plane. They got so caught up in alarms, systems, and other things, they panicked and forgot how to fly the plane. Nova showed what to do, set power and trim, fly the plane, then listen to the alarms.
Wait listen to the alarms is last? Yup, the pilots have to fly the plane. But the pilots are not all to blame here. (Though I think they are ultimately responsible)
Airbus shares a lot of the blame. People talk about the pitot tubes and that it was a parts failure. I call bull on this. Planes are designed to fly after an engine explodes, a pitot tube failure should not bring down a Cessna 152 (Do Cessna 152s have pitot tubes?) much less an Airbus 330.
Let's take an engine explosion. Qantas Airbus 380 flight from Singapore to Sydney had an engine compressor explosion after leaving Singapore. Plane returns safely to Singapore, no fatalities. In documentary about this flight one comment the pilot made interested me a great deal. He mentioned having to go through an acknowledge pages of alarms on his data screen as well as the rest of his control panel. He stated that he spent a lot of the emergency not dealing with the emergency but acknowledging that there was a problem. As if he didn't know from the engine explosion.
I think Airbus is overloading pilots in emergencies. Rather then encouraging the pilot to focus on flying the plane they are providing the pilot with too much information about the situation. I want my pilot flying the plane, no acknowledging a system prompt in the first few moments of the emergency.
Where the line is between too much and too little information, nobody knows. However, with fewer alarms would the AF pilots been able to save the flight, I think so.
Whatever happens now and in the future this sad chapter in aviation history closed.

The risks described below stem from a consideration of the features of Ansaldo STS group's market (demand and offer) and business, together with the key findings of the updated risk assessment process.
Risk assessment aims at identifying and evaluating the main risks that could have an impact on achieving objectives, for those processes identified as relevant, and the related mitigating actions, as well as defining additional actions to be taken to further reduce the risk or improve process performance.
Ansaldo STS's internal control and risk management system provides for the involvement of the following officers:
- Board of directors;
- Director responsible for the internal control and risk management system;
- Risk and control committee;
- Internal Audit Manager;
- Manager in charge of financial reporting pursuant to Law no. 262/2005;
- Supervisory body set up in implementation of Legislative decree no. 231 of 8 June 2001;
- Board of statutory auditors.
With the assistance of the risk and control committee and also on the basis of the activities of the director responsible for the internal control and risk management system, the board of directors defines guidelines for this system, so that the main risks to which the company is exposed are correctly identified and adequately measured, managed and monitored. It also determines the degree of compatibility of such risks with business management in line with the strategic objectives identified. In addition, within the scope of the definition of strategic business and financial plans, the board of directors defines the nature and level of risks, in accordance with the company's strategic objectives.
The methodological approach taken to evaluate and manage the internal control and risk management system refers to the internationally recognized Enterprise Risk Management framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO report).
The Internal Audit unit's audit plan was approved by the board of directors as required by Borsa Italiana's code of conduct for listed companies and the unit manager prepares regular reports for the risk and control committee.
Specifically, audit procedures performed in 2016 covered contract, engineering and development, purchases and compliance of certain significant procedures for compliance purposes and monitoring progress of the actions plans drawn up as a result of the audit work.
Anti-corruption and the prevention of corporate crimes
In order to ensure that the conduct of all those operating on the company's behalf or in its interests is always consistent with the principles of correctness and transparency in business dealings and company activities, Ansaldo STS has adopted an Organizational, management and control model (the "Model") in line with the requirements of Legislative decree no. 231/01 and the guidelines issued by Confindustria, Italy's main Organization representing Italian manufacturing and service companies.
The code of ethics is an integral part of this Model. The company has also set up a supervisory body to monitor application of the Model.
The Company ensures that all employees are completely familiar with the Model by providing them with informative reports when it is updated. Employees working in risk areas, as well as executives and managers, sign periodic statements to certify the respect of the Model and, when needed, to describe the most significant relationships with customers and representatives of public administration.
The Model was most recently updated with the board of directors' resolution of 27 February 201710. This latest update was adopted mainly in order to introduce (i) the offence of organ trafficking provided for by Italian Law 236 of 11 December 2016, which introduced art. 601 bis to the Italian Criminal Code, in Special Part "F" of the Model dedicated to "Conspiracy" and (ii) the new offence of unlawful brokerage and labor exploitation provided for by art. 25-quinquies of Italian Legislative decree 231/01, introduced by Italian Law 199 of 29 October 2016 by amendment of art. 603 bis of the Italian Criminal Code, to Special Part "C1" of the Model dedicated to "Offences of employing citizens of third-party countries whose stay is irregular and the reduction to slavery or its maintenance".
The Model is available on the company's web site.
Ansaldo STS S.p.A.'s supervisory body has several members, including two external members, one of whom serves as Chairman, and both of whom were selected among academics and professionals with demonstrated expertise and experience in legal, economic and financial issues, as well as one internal member who is the interim General Counsel & Compliance manager.
The board of directors approved the current composition on 16 May 2016 after expiration of the three-year appointment of the supervisory body, so all previously appointed members of the body were confirmed for another three years. Any conduct contrasting with the ethical principles described in the code of ethics or the indications in the Organizational, management and control model pursuant to Legislative decree no. 231/01 can be anonymously reported to the supervisory body, which evaluates the reports in accordance with the relevant company procedure currently in place.
In this respect, in 2016, no reports were made and no sanctions were imposed following violations pursuant to Legislative decree no. 231/01.
10. For additional details, reference should be made to the "Directors' report on the corporate governance system and the implementation of the code of conduct for listed companies for 2016".

I am happy to report that the saga has ended. My truck has been pulled free of its icy prison, and is currently resting happily, if tiredly, in the back alley driveway.
Really, the only unfortunate part of this ending is that I didn't procure it myself.
Yes, friends, I caved and called AAA.
But only after another afternoon of scraping, gas pedal tapping, and boiling pot after pot of water to pour on the stubborn ice. My housemate, Jordan, came out to help after a time, which was cause for additional optimism: Jordan recently bought (and maintains) a motorcycle. Jordan recently started a business consisting of himself and a friend performing oil changes for college students who can't afford to go to the local shop (or, heaven forbid, the dealer). Jordan had some ideas. He went to the garage and returned with several small planks of wood and a dirty towel. The idea was that the planks would give the truck some leverage, and that the towel could fill in the watery tire grooves for added support. It was a valiant effort, but after watching the planks shot forty feet from the truck by the force of spinning tires (I got out of the way, or else I would undoubtably be typing with my right leg missing below the knee), we decided that a tug was the only hope.
The AAA man was nice on the phone. "I'll send my son out," he told me gently, "he's going to delay his meal and head out there."
"Oh, he shouldn't do that!" I exclaimed, horrified at the prospect of the son, stomach growling, turning away his dinner in favor of helping an automobile-impaired college student who had managed to get her truck lodged in front of her own house.
The man insisted, though, and within a half hour, his son Tim was hooking a tow chain to the back of my truck. One good yank and then a push from Tim, his right shoulder braced in my front wheel bed, and I was free.
I thanked Tim, drove a victory lap around town, and then went to the grocery store for a celebratory (and much-needed) shop.

Climate science: Contemporary climate comparisons for North American cities in 2080
Nature Communications
February 13, 2019
An analysis identifying locations with a current climate that is most similar to the predicted climate of 540 North American urban areas in 2080 is published in Nature Communications. For example, Washington D.C.'s climate in 2080 would be most similar to that of Paragould, Arkansas today if emissions peak around 2040. The study also presents a web application that allows users to explore the results for individual areas.
Matthew Fitzpatrick and Robert Dunn used climate-analog mapping (matching the expected future climate of a location with the current climate somewhere else) to characterize how climate change may impact the lives of approximately 250 million inhabitants in North America in 2080. The authors mapped the climate for 540 urban areas (530 in the United States and 10 in Canada) using two emissions trajectories - emissions continuing to rise throughout the 21st century, or peaking around 2040 before declining.
They found that if emissions continue to rise throughout the 21st century, the climate in North American urban areas will become, on average, most like the current climate of locations 850 kilometres away and generally to the south. However, for many urban areas, they found substantial differences between the predicted future climate and the best contemporary climatic analogs. This suggests that by the 2080s many North American cities could experience novel climates with no modern equivalent. The authors hope the findings will provide an intuitive means of raising public awareness about the implications of climate change for urban residents.

The HTVNC17 agenda has flipped the script. We're so fortunate to have such a tremendous group of participants offering their unique insight. From exhibition space to volunteer opportunities for students, we have something to offer everyone - from breakthrough entrepreneurs to C-suite executives.
Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) October 06, 2017
The HealthTech Venture Network (HTVN) is proud to spotlight female entrepreneurship within the healthcare and technology sector at their fourth annual Conference where founders, investors, innovative practitioners and collaborators are invited to a keynote, six panels featuring 30 inspiring speakers and the ELEVATE pitch competition showcasing early stage digital health and med tech companies.
This day-long event will generate conversation that leads to further education on industry advancements, facilitate opportunities that lead to beneficial collaborations and inspire change that moves healthtech forward.
Tickets are selling fast and available through Friday, October 6th at 2 pm. Join HTVN for networking opportunities, exhibits, the pitch competition and panel discussions, surrounding progressive topics such as "Female Leadership Benefiting Tech Innovation," "How Innovating Tech with Patient Advocates Can Benefit Business" and "The Greater Value of Investing in Female Tech Founders." Other panel topics include, "How Healthtech Founders Can Leverage Growth Resources," "Behind-the-Grind with Successful Female Healthtech Entrepreneurs," and "Implementing Technology Solutions in Women's Health."
HTVN Conference Event Director Bree Goodrow shared her passion for the project, stating, "Planning this agenda and connecting with so many inspiring professionals has been a true honor. When Dr. Kingsley R. Chin - Managing Partner and CEO of KICVentures - suggested we highlight female entrepreneurship, I recognized the opportunity to make a powerful impact. In 2015 Rock Health reported that 78% of the healthcare workforce is comprised of women, a stark contrast from the male-dominated tech industry. Despite that fact, women in healthcare technology are still underrepresented on leadership teams and on conference agendas. The 2017 HTVN Conference agenda has flipped the script. We're so fortunate to have such a tremendous group of participants offering their unique insight. From exhibition space to volunteer opportunities for students, we have something to offer everyone - from breakthrough entrepreneurs to C-suite executives."

shades of blue....
working on Iris, September's mermaid this week. still slowly recovering from c spine surgery so i can't paint as quickly or as much as i'd like.
the nervous system never ceases to amaze me. especially how neck surgeries affect your arm and your hand. i guess that's why those neurosurgeons get paid the big bucks! they certainly deserve it! amazing how all that stuff works...
hoping to have beautiful little Iris done soon! :)

and it's beautiful little sapphire haired mermaid named Iris.
i've had just about enough of this rain forest like humidity and awful heat we've been having for the last few weeks here. soooo ready for september, fall...and dare i say....WINTER?! i'm ALWAYS ready for WINTER, but this summer is really one for the books! so over it!
i've been sketching out the remaining 5 mermaids over the last week, with september, october and may all sketched and ready to be laid out on the canvases. february and april are the only 2 left to sketch.
still recovering from the third c-spine fusion a couple of months ago, as healing this time around is going to take longer than i would like, due to all the surgeries in a short amount of time. so, i'm trying to pace myself and work a little slower than my usual rocket speed pace. but...doctor's orders :)
going to start painting beautiful little Iris here in the next couple of days and i can't wait to pick up the brush and work with gorgeous blues and violets on this one!

Trade them now: Three running backs who won't be starting by Week 9
By B.J. Rudell, special to SI.com
It happens every season, as predictably as Denver snow, Phoenix droughts and Los Angeles temperatures moving dramatically from the low-80s to the lower-mid-80s. It's midseason in the NFL, and that quick-cutting, fleet-footed running back you drafted in the fourth round -- the one you knew would put you over the top against that nerd in the accounting department -- is about to lose his starting job. Why didn't you see this coming sooner?
• Challenge your friends and win BIG in our weekly fantasy football league
A frighteningly high percentage of running backs who begin the year as starters end it as second- or third-stringers. The difference between fantasy success and failure hinges, in part, on your capacity to identify which tailbacks are not long for this fantasy world. Here are three players for whom you can still garner trade value. Get rid of them before they're worthless.
Shonn Greene
Greene has a few things going against him. First and foremost, he's a middling talent when compared to other starting running backs. He's currently playing over his head with 5.6 yards per carry this season after entering the year owning a career 4.1 mark. A negligible role in the passing game limits his appeal. Additionally, his longest run in 919 NFL carries netted only 36 yards. Simply put, Greene is a half-decent running back who's not good enough to make a meaningful fantasy impact more than once or twice a season.
Fact or Fiction: Evaluating Terrance West, Jake Locker and Knile Davis
No doubt, if Greene played for the Eddie Lacy-less Packers or Matt Forte-less Bears, his value would be higher. The Titans were 20th in points scored last year and are 24th this season. A tailback with more quickness and open-field running ability might be a better fit. But Greene's deficiencies don't line up well with his team's limitations.
And while free agent acquisition Dexter McCluster is nothing more than a role player, Bishop Sankey was supposed to give Greene stiff competition, but fell short during the preseason. Still, as the first running back taken in the 2014 draft, Sankey will be more than an occasional contributor; it's simply taking a little longer than some expected.
The 29-year-old Greene is winding down his career with few scoring opportunities on a two-touchdown-per-game team. By midseason he'll be taking a backseat to Sankey, making him unstartable in any fantasy league.
Toby Gerhart
Ranked No. 21 among running backs and No. 44 overall on the SI.com Top 300, Gerhart was another player I avoided on draft day. Most experts rated him among the top 20 at his position, touting him heavily as an RB2 and perennial fantasy starter. I've never bought into him, and neither should you.
Fantasy Fast Forward: Cousins proves his worth, more notes from Week 2
Principally, Gerhart is not an every-down back. He's the B-movie actor who gets the attention of an A-list director, is cast in a $150 million film and then reminds everyone that acting is harder than it looks. Entering 2014, the 27-year-old spent his entire career in Minnesota as Adrian Peterson's backup. Most touches occurred in garbage time and/or when the outcome was assured, leading to an impressive four-year mark of 4.73 yards per carry, including an improbable 7.9 yards per carry last season. Given his skill set, such numbers are unsustainable as a starter.
Also, Gerhart is probably the Jaguars' slowest tailback. His running style might keep the chains moving on third and two, but not on first and 10. In other words, facing starting defensive units on 18-22 touches per game, he'll continue to have difficulty breaking into the open field and racking up yards. Some insist he's faster than people think. But in game action, I don't see it. He's only averaged two yards a carry with no touchdowns, which is indicative of what's to come.
As for competition, Gerhart faces a group of younger (and arguably more talented) running backs vying for his starting gig. Chief among them is Denard Robinson, a more elusive runner with higher upside. Jordan Todman and Storm Johnson also could make a small-to-medium impact as the season progresses. Even if you believe Gerhart is better than all of them, for a guy who's never had more than 109 carries in a season, he's a prime candidate to wear down and give way to one or more of his more able-bodied backups.
By midseason, Gerhart will be a 25-45 yards-per-game, change-of-pace running back with almost zero fantasy value.
Steven Jackson
It's not just about age, although that's an important factor. A 31-year-old rusher isn't merely on the downside of his career; he's at the end of it. Like a boy band member hitting puberty, the high notes are fewer and farther between. Personally, I want to see Jackson kick butt. Realistically, the Falcons will need more from their running game to be a playoff contender.
Week 3 Waiver Wire: Donald Brown, Kirk Cousins among key pickups
Workload has also taken a toll. From 2006 to '10, the Rams ran Jackson into the ground to the tune of 298 carries (while averaging over 350 total touches) per year. He's currently 20th on the NFL's career rushing attempt list with 2,598. In that context, his injury-riddled 2013 season wasn't surprising. It would be shocking if he reached this season's midpoint unscathed.
At first glance, Jackson appears to be in control of his own destiny. Backup Jacquizz Rodgers' career yards per carry is 3.7. The 28-year-old Antone Smith has only eight career rushing attempts. Neither guy poses any threat to Jackson's playing time; nor would they belong in a fantasy starting lineup if Jackson were sidelined. The real competition in Atlanta comes from Devonta Freeman, who like several other rookie tailbacks has not made the immediate impact some expected. But an impressive preseason reinforces the notion that Freeman will challenge Jackson for touches before long, whether or not Jackson's health holds up.
By midseason, Jackson will be either sidelined with a nagging injury or relegated to part-time duty alongside Freeman, keeping his upside to 60 total yards per contest and a touchdown every three or four games.

The French army at Agincourt
In this article, Anne discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the French army at Agincourt.
As a leading French scholar of military matters in this period Bertrand Schnerb, professor at the University of Lille, has observed, 'The French army that fought at Agincourt has been much less well studied by scholars than the English army …this is probably due to a lack of sources and to the fact that a defeated army is less attractive than a victorious one' (Schnerb, 2015).
The popular view, at least amongst popular writers in England, is that the French army was exceptionally large, incompetent and leaderless. There is some truth in the last description. The English benefited considerably from the presence of Henry V in person. By contrast neither King Charles VI, nor his eldest son the Dauphin, were present: a decision was taken at Rouen on 20 October that neither should be involved in any battle. This reminds us not simply of Charles's mental problems but also of French fear that the English might win and capture the king or his son, as they had captured John II at Poitiers in 1356.
French perceptions of the English
The French did not underestimate English military prowess in the early stages of the campaign. Henry had invaded with a large army and they had not been able to raise an army large enough and quickly enough to challenge him at Harfleur. As time went on, and they had him on the run, then they made the decision to intercept him and bring him to battle. The French battle plan found by Christopher Phillpotts in the British Library in 1984 was for an engagement somewhere along the Somme. It was drawn up by Marshal Boucicaut, Constable d'Albret, the duke of Alençon and Arthur, count of Richemont. However, by the time of the actual battle the dukes of Orléans and Bourbon had also joined the army. As the nephew of the king it was the twenty-one year old and inexperienced Orléans who was in command on the day. Chronicles suggest that the older commanders (implicitly Boucicaut and d'Albret) advised against giving battle, but the young hotheads ignored their advice.
Structure of the French Army
In many ways the French army was very similar to its English counterpart. It was largely made up of companies raised by individual lords, with their households as the core: we know that more than 25 of the chamberlains of the duke of Orléans were killed in the battle. It was none the less a royal army. In late August an order went out that all men should wear a white cross on a dark background: this paralleled the English order that all should wear the red cross of St George. Its men-at-arms were armoured and equipped in a very similar way to the English men-at-arms: it is a myth that they had heavier armour which weighed them down in the battle and contributed to their defeat.

In neither country, however, was there a standing army save for troops held in garrison. Therefore troops had to be raised for the occasion. This put the French at a disadvantage as they could only operate in response mode to the English invasion. As in the English case, troops expected pay and therefore we can glean something of the French army from the financial records, which include musters taken to check that troops had turned out. The problem is that so much less survives than on the English side, as Schnerb noted. But we know that the French had raised a tax to support an army of 6,000 men-at-arms and 3,000 gens de trait (meaning crossbowmen and longbowmen). This reminds us that the French army, like the English, was funded out of taxation: one French chronicler, the Bourgeois of Paris (who, despite the name was a member of the clergy) commented that Charles had levied 'the heaviest tax that had ever been seen in the whole age of man'. This is somewhat of an exaggeration but we can see the wisdom of hindsight here. As the chronicler added, the tax 'did no good for the kingdom of France'. The French lost the battle.
Differences between the English and French armies
The army to be supported by the tax emphasises an important difference – indeed the key difference – between the French and English armies. Whilst Henry's army had large numbers and proportions of archers compared with men-at-arms (four to one at outset, probably five to one at the battle), the reverse was the case for the French. This was nothing new. The French always had more men-at-arms than bowmen. There was a large pool of nobility and gentry to draw on. Such men, along with others 'accustomed to frequent or serve in wars' were exempt from taxation in return for providing military service to the crown. Even though they expected pay, they were summoned to royal service by the semonce des nobles which was proclaimed through the baillis and seneschals, the French equivalent of sheriffs in England.
A summons was issued on 28 August in the wake of the English landing, ordering troops to Rouen to the presence of the Dauphin although the latter did not come to the city till 10 October. Over 230 companies of men can be found in surviving pay documents and musters by early October, totalling around 6,000 men. The summons dated 20 September, addressed to the bailli of Amiens, is given in full in the chronicle of Enguerrand de Monstrelet. The text also added a requirement for royal towns (known as the bonnes villes) to send cannons and other engines of war. Towns also had urban militias largely comprising crossbowmen: we know that some of these were present at Agincourt, although they seem to have been little used. We know that after the battle townsmen, such as those of St Omer, the nearest large town to the battlefield, went to the field to collect their cannons and equipment.
Whilst in English armies most captains brought both men-at-arms and archers, in France retinues tended to have one type of troop only. As in England, however, companies ranged in size from less than ten men upwards. The duke of Berry had 1,000 men-at-arms and 500 gens de trait under his command on 30 September although the duke himself, aged 75, did not serve at the battle in person. The duke of Orléans and the duke of Burgundy were both asked to provide 500 men-at-arms and 300 archers. Initially, given the recent state of war between these dukes, both were told not to come in person but simply to send troops. At the end of the day, however, there was a change of royal mind over the involvement of Orléans. The two brothers of the duke of Burgundy, the duke of Brabant and count of Nevers, were both killed at the battle, and there were several Burgundian captains present. Many troops came from Picardy, Artois and Upper Normandy. In some cases several members of the same family died together at the battle.
The French army at Agincourt
It is impossible to know for certain how large the French army was at the battle but the figures given in chronicles are too high, as they are for all battles of the period. Where we have full financial records, as for an army raised by Charles VI in 1414, we see a strength of 14,500 but with the king not present in person we might expect the size to be lower. A plan made at Rouen on 20 October and reported by the chronicler Jean Juvenal des Ursins envisaged three French battles, with Boucicaut, the duke of Bourbon and Guichard Dauphin in the vanguard, the dukes of Orléans, Alençon and Brittany in the main battle along with the constable d'Albret, and a rearguard containing the duke of Bar, count of Vaudémont, the count of Charolais and the count of Nevers. The wings were to be commanded by Arthur de Richemont and Tanneguy du Chastel, the prévot of Paris, with the cavalry to break the archers under Clignet de Brabant and Jean, sire de Ligne, seneschal of Hainault. But we know that several of these commanders were not present (Brittany, Charolais, du Chastel). The French also needed to see to the defence of Paris against the possible threat of the duke of Burgundy. Some commanders, such as the duke of Brittany, did not arrive in time. The duke of Brabant arrived late in the day. It appears that the French delayed the battle until 25 October as they were still hoping for more troops to arrive.
A total of 12,000 or so is therefore not unlikely, although some recent writers have put the figure slightly higher. We know that the French formed a very large vanguard of around 5,000 men. They hoped to overwhelm the smaller number of English men-at-arms but reckoned without the effect of the arrow storm which slowed down their advance. Not enough men were found to join the cavalry charge against the archers – a sign of weak command. And indeed, it appears that the divisions in the rear fled the field without engaging.
Agincourt is therefore a reminder of the fact that unless all men engage, the actual size of an army does not matter.
