Travel: A roadtrip through Poland should be top of everyone's list

PEOPLE who know me will tell you that if there is an easy way of travelling somewhere, I will more than likely do the exact opposite.
Most people intending to visit Krakow find they can fly direct and be enjoying a Zywiec beer on the city's Rynek Glowny within a few hours of leaving the house.
However, due to time constraints, I had to find another way of getting there.
That's how my fiancée and I found ourselves on a two-day 1,000km road trip around central Poland.
After flying into the northern city of Poznan, we picked up our hire car.
Aside from being on the wrong side of the car, it took me a few minutes to get used to the fact that it was also an automatic, so we sort of lurched our way on to the Polish roads.
After the small matter of not making any sense of the road signs and heading 20 miles in the wrong direction, we found ourselves on the road to Lodz.
Guidebooks and websites warn of the state of Polish roads, and I will do the same shortly.
As it turns out, our route took in part of the E30 autostrada which stretches across most of Europe (from Cork to Moscow) so is a major haulage route.
In Poland it is a toll road, so be prepared to stop at up to four toll points en route.
Our arrival in Lodz was not problem-free. At one point the city centre road we were travelling on suddenly disappeared in front of our eyes and we found ourselves on a tram line.
Later, another street we were using which had signs saying it was one-way, actually wasn't.
Therefore, it was with some relief that we pulled up at the Grand Hotel – one of the most historic hotels in Poland.
The hotel is more than 100 years old and guests had included political leaders like Himmler and film stars such as Robin Williams over its existence.
Inside, it is a rabbit warren of corridors and the chequered history resonates around its walls.
Doors to the rooms open outwards into the corridors, which are, it must be said, slightly spooky.
In the gloom, we saw a pile of sheets that looked quite body-like from a distance, but it all added to the atmosphere.
Rooms are comfortable and breakfast is served in the ornate ballroom, which was once the region's communist headquarters.
Walls in the corridors have historic photos of the hotel in its heyday.
The hotel is situated on the longest pedestrian street in Europe and is surrounded by interesting shops, bars and restaurants.
Sadly our time in Lodz was short, as we found ourselves back on the road quite early the next morning on our way to Krakow.
Facade of Schindlers Fabrika factory. Oskar Schindler saved about 1100 Jews from Nazi extermination by making them work under a false name in his pottery factory. The director Steven Spielberg told his story in the famous film Schindler's List.
The route we took was a dual carriageway, but unlike any I have driven on before.
The inside lanes have been worn down by years of heavy lorries passing over, so it means that car wheels travel in ruts in the middle of the lane.
The roads are a patchwork of "fixes" too. When you throw in many random sets of traffic lights and cars pulling out of rural tracks into the fast lane, driving in Poland could be described as a challenge!
If you ever find yourself on that stretch of road, keep an eye out for the airplane that's been converted into a restaurant, which is certainly an unexpected sight.
Krakow is a city that means different things to different people.
To many, it is a popular venue for stag and hen parties.
To others, it is of deep historic significance with direct links to the Second World War and the Holocaust.
Our visit was the latter. We based ourselves in the Klezmer-Hois, a traditional hotel in the Jewish Quarter.
We visited Oskar Schindler's factory, which has been transformed into a museum, as well as the memorial site at the city's Plazow camp.
Given that the Schindler's List film was produced in that part of the city, everywhere we turned we saw a building or laneway we recognised.
The Kazmieriez area has many quirky pubs and wine bars, like the atmospheric Singer Café, where every table was a Singer sewing machine.
As we were visiting from an historic perspective, we felt it important to see Auschwitz, an hour from Kraków.
It is hard to comprehend the horrors that went on there during the Holocaust and it is not uncommon to see people visibly upset as they walk around the remaining buildings.
Visiting the main Auschwitz camp, and the neighbouring Birkenau, is something that everyone should do if they can.
Arrive before 10am and you can avoid the busy obligatory guided tours and walk around the site at your own pace.
Back on the road north to Poznan, we made good time and found ourselves with an hour or so to spare before catching the plane so decided to find something for dinner.
At this point, I can say I will never again trust "Siri" when I ask my phone to find a pizza restaurant. We ended up in a backstreet pizza parlour in the middle of a huge housing development in an area of the city that could not be described as salubrious.
Having said that, the pizza wasn't too bad and was cheap!
Whilst brief, the trip to Poland was an education and has left me looking forward to returning to see more of the country soon.
There are direct flights from Glasgow and Edinburgh to cities such as Katowice, Krakow and Wroclaw so you can start your driving adventure wherever suits.

"The JSE/Liberty Life Investment Challenge, now in its 35th year, is undoubtedly one of the most focused and far-reaching educational youth programmes in South Africa. The Challenge is aimed at introducing South African high school and university learners to the world of high finance. Last year a total of 7 048 school learners and 1 232 university students entered the challenge, many of whom came from less advantaged schools and institutions," said Maureen Dlamini, Senior General Manager: Education at the JSE.
The challenge allows learners to buy and sell virtual securities on the JSE and also teaches them to manage a virtual portfolio of R1 000 000. Prizes from the game are generous and are given to winning teams at an awards ceremony at the conclusion of the game. The team that wins First Place receives R25 000,00; Second Place: R20 000,00; and Third Place: R15 000,00 in securities.
"In an attempt to improve the performance and participation rates of less advantaged schools the JSE has partnered with the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) in a collaboration that will see 15 SAICA students mentoring the learners in the game. The mentors, all students at the Universities of Fort Hare and Limpopo, have been chosen from students who will themselves be participating in the University Investment Challenge. They will be servicing schools in the Alice, East London and Polokwane areas," continued Maureen.
The SAICA mentors will look after up to 5 schools each and will spend 2 hours a week with each mentored school. The mentors will also undergo training and assessment at the JSE. Those who make it through the assessment process will visit the schools to ensure that the school children are actively participating. If there are any problems that are affecting the participation of the learners the mentors will bring these issues to the urgent attention of the JSE Education Division.
"Mentors helping the youngsters from these schools are making a valuable and sustainable contribution to their communities and gaining invaluable knowledge and exposure for their own financial futures in the process," concluded Maureen.


With the NHL Trade Deadline looming in less than a month, speculation and excessive trade rumours are just about to explode in the hockey world and all over social media.
Most of those trade rumours will be downright ludicrous. Every year, some speculated trade gets spread all over social media and people begin to believe the rumours. However, today, we're going to look at 5 of the most realistic predictions to occur before the Trade Deadline at 3:00 PM EST on March 2nd.
At this point of the year, most of the sellers in the league have already made it known that they will be looking to retool their roster. At the trade deadline, this usually means the last 5-7 placed teams in the league standings. Some of those teams have already let the league know that they have some premier players available.
So, what can you expect to see go down on the big day? Something very close to the following five predictions.
The lowly Buffalo Sabres will likely be holding the dead last position in the league come March 2nd, for the second consecutive year. Last year, they dealt away Steve Ott and franchise goaltender, Ryan Miller, to St. Louis before the deadline. They also traded Matt Moulson, Jaroslav Halak and upgarded some prospects. This year, they seem to have a little less to offer.
The Sabres are sure to be contacted about the likes of Drew Stafford, Matt Moulson and perhaps even Cody Hodgson. But, the players they will end up parting with will be Chris Stewart and Tyler Myers. Stewart is a big body power forward who could be a useful asset in the playoffs. While Myers and Buffalo haven't exactly gelled since his Calder Trophy winning rookie season. The 6'8 defender isn't as horrible as he may seem while playing in Buffalo. A new environment and coaching style could jumpstart the 25 year old's career.
Carolina was beginning to look like a contender when they acquired Jordan Staal at the 2012 NHL Draft, but injuries and underachievers put that possibility to rest. The Hurricanes now appear to be in the midst of a quick rebuild.
Teams may look to acquire the odd-man out, Alex Semin, and perhaps even Jordan Staal, but the Canes likely will not get what they want for those players. However, two other stars will be dealt named, Andrej Sekera and Jeff Skinner. Sekera, who compiled a 44 point season last year, is a solid defender who could be the depth multiple teams are looking for. While Skinner, who's having a down year, has scored 30 goals twice in his five year career. It would be a blockbuster, but if a more offensive team could get the 22 year old winger, he could become a sure 30 goal scorer for plenty of years to come.
Arizona, who was expected to be a playoff contender before the season began, currently holds the 3rd overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. They've been horrible all year and Don Maloney is ready to take action. He recently told media that the only untouchable on the team is captain, Shane Doan. That leaves guys like Sam Gagner, Martin Hanzel and even Oliver Edman-Larsson available. But, I see Maloney asking for far too much for those players which will shoots down possibilities.
However, Antoine Vermette and Keith Yandle seem almost certain to be traded. Vermette may not bring in great return as a UFA, but regardless, he's sure to be dealt. Meanwhile, Keith Yandle will likely be what improves Arizona's future. Rumours had been swirling of a Yandle for O'Reilly trade, but that's quieted down lately. Arizona will surely be one of the most interesting teams to watch near the Trade Deadline.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs bowing out in the second half of the season for the second year in a row, multiple players are very much available. Of course, in the Toronto media, rumours begin to swirl of Kessel and Phaneuf trades, but those are simply too complicated to get done before the deadline.
However, UFA's Mike Santorelli and Cody Franson look almost certain to be gone by March 2nd. Franson, likely the Leafs best all around defenceman, has been unable to get anything going in contract negotiations so far. Also, Jake Gardiner could very well be out of Toronto. The 24 year old is a young, offensive, puck moving defenceman. He is sometimes prone to turning over the puck though, which had been his downfall with previous coach, Randy Carlyle. Gardiner could certainly garner some attention by a ton of teams, but the Leafs would likely want a fair bit in return.
The Edmonton Oilers are well on their way to having a top-10 draft pick for the 7th straight year. In what seems like the longest and most unsuccessful rebuild in NHL history, the Oilers are almost certain to draft either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel in June.
At last year's Trade Deadline, Edmonton let go of Bryzgalov, Hemsky and Schultz, while they acquired Fasth and draft picks. They will likely be very busy again this year. With rumours of a possible Taylor Hall trade gathering attention, it appears nearly everyone could be available, if the price is right. Realistically, Edmonton could very well trade away one of their once budding superstars come March 2nd.
While Jeff Petry, a pending UFA, is all but gone already, there are many more possibilities as well. Teddy Purcell, who was acquired from Tampa Bay for Sam Gagner, could easily be dealt. Meanwhile, Jordan Eberle could be a hot topic among 20 or so teams. The Oilers would likely want a first round pick and a developed Top 6 forward in return. The possibilities seem almost endless for Edmonton at the Trade Deadline, so here's hoping they pull the trigger on a blockbuster.
In no way at all am I guaranteeing all the above trades. What I will guarantee though, is that each of the listed teams will be among the most active on Trade Deadline Day. Each of the teams will make at least one trade for sure. For the sake of entertainment, let's hope there are some blockbusters.
Who do you think will be traded for sure before the Trade Deadline? Discuss i the comments!

"The Smithsonian is an institution that is an instrument of Congress. That's a very important thing. It's an institution that needs to engage people across the board. If you're a public museum in a city, you have an audience. The Smithsonian's audience is a nationwide audience...At the same time, we recognize that the Smithsonian is a place, especially as we move in new directions, where we're going to have controversy over our exhibitions....In making a decision at the Smithsonian, you have to consult as many people as you can. And that takes time, whereas the bloggers go to work right away. They can heighten and inflame an issue and it can get out of control before you ever have a chance to think seriously about what you're going to do."
-Smithsonian Secretary G. Wayne Clough on who to really blame for his decision to censor the National Portrait Gallery's "Hide/Seek" exhibit on gay artists through history--bloggers.
So bigoted culture-warrior congressmen and phony self-appointed community spokesmen, complain away! (After all, you are our "nationwide audience.") But if all you have is a Google account and you're on the left, then stop having a hissy fit and let the adults decide what is the "right" thing to do.
Yes, don't listen to people who want to "heighten and inflame" an issue beyond reason. Listen to Bill Donohue!

This is why people like G. Wayne Clough need to do the work to understand their "why" -- because decisions have to be made quickly, and if your sense of ethics is the result of what other people tell you, then you are totally screwed. Welcome to the 21st century, Wayne -- this is the speed life moves at.

The Health Annex is a clinic located in Southwest Philadelphia that provides an interdisciplinary approach to care for patients regardless of their ability to pay. As a Health Benefits Advocate, I am involved in various aspects of a patient's health. Sometimes I am helping patients apply for health insurance, SNAP, and LiHeap. Other times I am ordering and providing clothing to children through Cradles to Crayons, restocking our food cabinet for patients experiencing food insecurity or hosting a health insurance event to educate patients.Throughout my time at the Health Annex, I have learned that in order to help a person be healthy, you have to focus on more than treating an illness. Providing medication for the cold or flu is important, but health encompasses so much more. Patients often come to the Health Annex for a regular check-up, but after you engage with them you learn there are multitudes of issues that the patient is experiencing. In meeting with patients, I find myself addressing problems with their housing, mental health, family issues, not having enough food, clothing and many other things. While serving in this capacity, I realized that my role was more than providing health insurance; I am a listening ear and a connection to resources patients never knew existed or need help accessing. More importantly, it is about being able to educate patients to the best of my ability.
I believe that all health facilities should look at more than treating illnesses and diseases; they should use a holistic approach to healthcare that includes addressing food insecurity, clothing, housing, mind body health, nutrition, education, and advocacy. My service with NHC shows me that in order to treat a person's health, you need to take a holistic integrated approach and explore how external factors can also have an impact on a person's physical health. Lack of nutrition, heating, and food cannot be treated with medicine. However, education, awareness, and those who are capable to speak out and advocate in underserved and underprivileged communities can help relieve these many issues. I believe my experiences at the Health Annex will make me a better person both professionally and personally by continuing to advocate for people who aren't able to advocate for themselves.

Morattico is an unincorporated former post office town along the Rappahannock River in Lancaster County, Virginia, United States. It sits across Mulberry Creek from Belle Isle State Park. "Morattico" is an anglicized version of "Moraughtacund", the name of a Native American tribe whose primary village may have been on or near this site.

History
The Moraughtacunds and their site were discovered by Captain John Smith in 1608. He would mediate a feud between the Moraughtacunds and their neighbors, the Rappahannock tribe. The Moraughtacund tribe moved further west by 1650.

In 1706, the site was deeded by Joseph Ball I, who originally purchased it in late 1698. He began building Morattico Plantation, also referred to as Morattico. In 1711, Joseph Ball I would die, and the plantation would be inherited by his son Joseph Ball II. However, the site would mainly be run by Joseph Chinn, Ball's nephew, due to Joseph Ball II's primary residence in England. After Joseph Ball II died in 1760, the plantation's ownership was transferred to his daughter, Frances Ravenscroft Ball Downman. Her son, Joseph Ball Downman would take over the site after her death in 1782. In 1799, James W.P Downman would inherit the plantation after his father, Joseph Ball Downman's death. Eventually, James W.P Downman would die at a young age in 1834, leaving neither an heir nor a will. In 1835, his surviving siblings petitioned to have Morattico Plantation to be divided into eight equal parts, which succeeded. From 1835 to 1845, George William Downman and Sarah Downman purchased most of the plantation. George William Downman would die at an unknown date, leaving his share to Sarah Downman, his sister. Littleton Downman Mitchell, Sarah's nephew, would inherit the plantation after her death in 1849. Around 1850, the original dwelling was dismantled by Downman himself. From 1864 to 1868, Downman lost his ownership of the site, and his creditors would purchase the plantation. Decades later, the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane would reportedly cover the first floor of all buildings in the Morattico area except for the Morattico Plantation itself. L.C Thrift would then dismantle the plantation in 1935, using some materials from it to construct a two-story farmhouse.

The Village of Morattico Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Landmarks

Historical buildings
The Morattico Waterfront Museum chronicles the history of Morattico and is located on the site of the original Morattico Wharf that operated from 1889 to 1933.

The Norwood Church was established in 1893 with the present church being built in 1897. It is located east of the local village and north side of Morattico Road. The denomination of the church is Baptist and it contains a cemetery.

Bodies of water
Mulberry Creek is a -mile long tidal stream that enters the Rappahannock river around 26 miles above the river's mouth.

Morattico Creek is a body of water located in the town. Its name is thought to have originated from the second Morattico Indian Reservation.

Frog Pond is a swampy area located westside of Mulberry Creek Road. A well that provided water to many residents from the 18th century to the mid-20th century was located in its northwestern boundary.

Other
Carpenter's Landing is an area used as a boat landing from both the early 19th century and early 20th century. It is located between the mouth of Mulberry Creek and the mouth of Raccoon Cove.

Raccoon Cove is a cove located on the north bank of Mulberry Creek.

Elishas brother Abner died of measles at Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond on 5-15-1862 (46th Va Infantry). Elishas brother, Robert, died of measles in May 1862 in Petersburg (probably in war).
After the war, Elisha returned to Appomattox Virginia and on December 18, 1867 married Lucilla Catherine Conner born on May 4, 1849 the daughter of Allen Abendigo and Lennis Ann Ferguson Conner. They had nine children Joseph, Edward, Littleton, William H., Ira L. Florence, Della, Mollie, and Robert H. Many of the descendents still live in and around the Appomattox area.
Elisha was a farmer on property surrounding the Surrender Grounds. The family cemetery is located on this land and this is where Elisha was laid to reset when he died on August 20, 1904 of typhoid. Catherine died November 21, 1919.
On November 5, 2000 the Appomattox Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy placed a Confederate Grave Marker of Honor at his grave so every visitor to this site will remember this Confederate Hero.
Stephen Thomas Marsh was born May 13, 1840 to Johnson and Elizabeth Childress Marsh. He was twenty-one years old when the Civil War erupted. Some service records indicate he was conscripted into the Confederate Army in 1864, but his daughter and my Grandmother, Ethel Judson Marsh, believed he fought from 1861 on. He was ill several times while in the Army and the records indicate he was a patient at Chimbarao Hospital in Richmond, Virginia in 1864 and was on convalescent furlough home for a month, apparently after a bout with typhoid. He served in Company B of the 18th Virginia Infantry Regiment.
At the battle of Saylor's Creek his unit was in the thick of the fighting_ it is unknown if he either was captured and escaped or avoided capture when his unit was taken. He arrived home April 7, 1865 and heard news of the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. The next day he rejoined his unit at Appomattox Court House and received his parole.
He didn't talk a great deal about the war but his children remember some of his experiences, as he told them. According to his son Thomas Gordon (Tom) he mentioned that food was lacking especially toward the end of the war. He also told the story of soldiers sleeping on the ground, and their long hair would freeze to the ground, they would have to have their hair cut before they could get up in the morning.
He died September 25, 1933 at ninety-three years of age. He and my Great-Grandmother had nine children, raising eight (one died in infancy) they were pious Christians, he was very active in the life and work of Red Oak Baptist Church where he was a deacon for many years and also served as Sunday School Superintendent.
Colonel McDearmon owned considerable property in and around the village of Clover Hill, operating both a store and a tavern in the village. He served the Virginia House of Delegates and also as a State Senator. He was a Major in the Appomattox Regiment of the Virginia State Militia from 1849 to 1855.
During the War Between the States, Colonel McDearmon served as an aide to General Henry A. Wise, commander of "Wise's Legion" in the fighting around Sewell Mountain and Gauley Bridge in an ill-fated Kanawha Valley Campaign in western Virginia in 1861, when the Virginia volunteer troops were trying to keep the Northern forces out of western Virginia.
There's an interesting story told about the McDearmons. It seems that at one time Samuel wished to move to Nebraska, but his wife, Mary Frances, wanted to go to Texas. They loaded up and started west, but when they reached the railroad, three miles from the starting point, they stopped to rest and feed the horses. Apparently they had a heated discussion about which way they were going from there and as the story goes, Mary Frances said, "Damned if I'm going to Nebraska". So Sam gave in and they built a home where they were an called it "Nebraska". The home they built is still standing today. It is the back part of a home on Church Street, Appomattox, Virginia!

Charles E. Moorefield was born in Charlotte Co., Va. in 1840, the son of Isaac & MaryAnn S. Guthrie Moorefield. He was one of at least 4 of Isaac & Mary's sons to take up arms for the Confederacy during the course of the war, all of whom served honorably. It is possible that a fifth son, Lewis, died in 1863 of disease in a Richmond hospital during his enlistment, however, there is conflicting information that makes us uncertain in this regard. The others were fortunate enough to come home, battle scarred but alive.
Charles first enlisted in July 1861 at nearby Meadville as a private in Company H, 14th Virginia Infantry. Company H was known as the "Meadville Grays. He was 21 years old, married and the father of a nineteen month old son, David Emerson. Because of his young son and as his services were needed at home to help with the operation of his father's grist mill, Charles was allowed to furnish a substitute to fight in his place, a common occurrence during the early part of the war in families that could afford it. Walter Covington was that replacement. Unfortunately, Covington died of disease in Chimborazo Hospital in Richmond, Va. in June of 1863.
Charles operated Moorefield Mill, located less than a mile from his burial site, during the first 3 years of the war. This mill, along with several others in the area, was instrumental in providing the Confederate Army with staples of flour & cornmeal, and with grain for their animals. This supply line became the target of the Wilson-Kauntz Raid on the Staunton River Bridge between Randolph and Clover in June of 1864. Since Charles was here at the time and knowing the importance of that bridge to the community & to his business, it is quite likely that he, along with his father Isaac, was among the civilian volunteers that helped defend the bridge from the invading Union forces.
At this time during the war, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had sustained heavy casualties. The loss of men at Gettysburg alone had been devastating. It became necessary to enact a draft to replace the losses. Now the father of 2 more children, John Edward and Ida, Charles was drafted in October of 1864 to actively serve, again with the 14th Va. Infantry. There is a record of clothing being issued to him in December of 1864, but where he camped that winter is not stated. His 4th child Carrie, named after her mother, was born that January. Charles saw action in March 1865 in Richmond and at Hatcher's Run. On April 1st, 1865, he was captured at the Battle of Five Forks & taken to City Point, Va. as a prisoner. From here, he was transported to Point Lookout, Maryland where he remained a prisoner until after the war's end. He was released in June of that year after taking the Oath of Allegiance.
Charles returned home to Halifax Co. and resumed his trade as a miller & a farmer. After the death of his first wife, soon after baby Carrie was born, Charles married his wife's sister, Harriett Traynham. Together they raised his 4 children, the descendents of whom still today honor the memory and service of their Confederate ancestor. Charles E. Moorefield died in 1916, and is buried in his Family Cemetery located in Nathalie, Halifax County, VA. He left behind a legacy of service to the Southland that should always be remembered with pride.

Leander A. Moorefield was born in Halifax County, VA on February 9, 1840. He was one of Stephen & Eliza Wilmouth Moorefields sons to take up arms and serve honorably for the Confederacy during the War Between the States.
On November 22, 1860, Leander married Elizabeth F. Wilmouth, a daughter of Yancy & Susan Whitlow Wilmouth. In 1861, the war began. Even though Leander was a newly wed at the time, his patriotic duty and pride lead him to enlist in what he considered The War of Northern Aggression. Leander never owned any slaves, but he felt that he had to protect his state and property from destruction by the Union Soldiers.
Leander first enlisted at the age of 21, as a Private on May 28, 1861 at the Clover Depot in the Clover Rifles, Company H, 20th VA Infantry Regiment. Upon enlistment, he was described as having a fair complexion, blue eyes with light hair, his height was 5 feet 4.9 inches. He listed his residence as Halifax County and his occupation as a Carpenter.
He first saw action at Seven Pines, VA and then on June 26, 1861 at Laurel Hill, VA. On July 11th while fighting in the Battle of Rich Mountain, WV, Leander was captured along with his brother, Elias, and they became Prisoners of War. They were paroled of July 17th at Randolph County, WV and then discharged on November 1, 1861.
During 1861, Leander & Elizabeth became the proud parents of their first born son, James Calvin Moorefield. After his discharge, Im sure that Elizabeth had hoped that his fighting days were over and that he was safely back home to stay.
During the course of the war, the Northern Army of VA had sustained many casualties. Leander decided once again to enlist on August 27, 1863 as a Private at Charlotte County, VA in the Charlotte Rifles, Company K, 18th VA Infantry Regiment, under General Pickett.
During his second enlistment he was involved in nearly every major campaign in VA, and one in Martinsburg, WV.
He was still listed on the rolls December 31, 1864, but there is no Military Service Record after this date.
Leander returned home after the war and he & Elizabeth had 6 more children: Leroy, Andrew Jackson, Josephine, L. (died at one day old), William Charles & Ida Belle. He resumed his trade as a Carpenter & Farmer for as long as he was able. He filed for pension on May 17, 1900 because he was no longer able to work to support himself and his family due to rheumatism, old age and exposure during the war. This pension was finally granted on June 9, 1902.
Leander died May 24, 1910 in Halifax County, and is buried on a Wilmouth Family Farm in Scottsburg, VA. Leander A. Moorefield left behind a legacy of service to the Southland that should ALWAYS be remembered with pride.

Nicholas Hudson Morris was born in 1848 to John Morris and Sarah Mitchell Morris. He was one of seven children. Nicholas enlisted in the Confederate Army on October 9, 1863 in Company C, 17th Regiment Virginia Infantry. He was only 15 years old. He was absent from duty in January, February, March and April with leave on Surgeons Certificate. He was discharged from the hospital on April 11, 1864 and was reported to return to guard duty at Stinston, NC.
Nicholas lived at 307 Chestnut Street in Lynchburg Virginia. He worked at Glamorgan Pipe and Foundry. He married first to Mary Davidson Garrett and had two children, Emily Ann and William Thomas. After the death of Mary, he married Laura OBrien Lindsay (born 1857, daughter of Francis Kirkpatrick OBrien and Judith Forbes OBrien). Laura was the sister of John Harrison OBrien and Thomas Henry OBrien. They had no children. After the death of Laura, he then married Lucy Jane Harper Wooldridge and they had one child named Lucy. Nicholas died on March 13, 1913 of apoplexy. He is buried at Presbyterian Cemetery, Section M, lot 38 in Lynchburg, Virginia. Duiguid Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements. His son William paid for his funeral. The cost was $57.00.

Thomas was born on December 6, 1842 one of eight children of Francis Kirkpatrick OBrien and Judith Forbes OBrien.
Thomas Henry OBrien joined the Confederate Army on May 22, 1861, at the age of 19. Thomas was a Private in Co. A 57th Virginia Infantry. He served the CSA until 4-1-1865, just 8 days before the Surrender at Appomattox, when he was captured at Five Forks near Dinwiddie Courthouse and was taken to Point Lookout, Maryland where he was held until June 15, 1865 when he signed the Oath not to take up arms against the United States. He then returned to Buckingham County.
He married Parthena Bettie Elizabeth Bagby on November 30, 1870. Bettie had a sister named Mildred Frances (Fanny) Bagby who was married to Thomas H. Wooldridge. Bettie and Fannie were the daughters of James H. and Pauline Smith Cason Bagby.
Thomas and Bettie had ten children: Mildred, Martha, Louis, Elnora, Edna, James, Lelia, Theodosia (sis), Henry, and Joseph. The children were born and raised in Buckingham County in a house known as Patteson Tavern, which was a stagecoach stop between Richmond and Lynchburg. There was a Dr. E.P.F. Trent who lived there as well and Thomas studied with him to learn how to pull teeth, sew up cuts, drain abscesses and other medical procedures.
Thomas was very active in his church, and in 1902 he helped to organize a Sunday School at Chestnut Grove Baptist Church.
Thomas and Bettie are buried in a small family cemetery located behind the old Patteson Tavern, on property now owned by his Great Grandson Ed Cook and his wife Ann.
Here is a letter written to the Times Virginian in 1915 / 50 years after the war.
I was born the 6th day of December 1842 in the county of Buckingham, Virginia and entered the Confederate service the 22nd day of May 1861, a company being the first from the county. Under Captain Carter H. Irving our company was sent to Staunton the last of June and from there we marched one hundred miles to Beverley. We were under Colonel Pegram and Major Tyler.
I received my first baptism of fire in that trip to Rich Mt. the 11th day of July 1861. The Yankees got the best of us, owing to numbers. They killed, wounded, and captured most of our company. I was among those who came out under Major Tyler. This company was disbanded and I joined the Second Company from this county under G. B. Hayes, captain. This was Company A 57th Regiment, Armisteads Old Brigade, Picketts Division. We were called Picketts Foot Cavalry. I was in all the engagements that Picketts command was in from 1862 to April 1, 1865.
Near Dinwiddie Courthouse, or Five Forks, as it was called then, I was captured about 4 oclock in the afternoon along with eleven hundred of Picketts Division. Landed at Point Lookout the 5th day of April 1865 and was a prisoner until June 15th 1865. So you see I was in the army near four years and am thankful to be alive, after participating in all the great battles from Newbern, N.C. to Gettysburg and in all that Picketts Division was engaged in from Rich Mt. to Dinwiddie Courthouse. I was absent from my company but once in all that time and that was on a pass for four day. While in the lines near Chester Station, I was slightly wounded twice on the finger near Howlet House and in the ankle at Gettysburg. You can see I was strictly in it.
I defy the boy that saw more hard service that those of us that composed Picketts Foot Cavalry. I never was put on double duty or in the guardhouse or excused from duty but once and that but a short time for sickness while in the lines near the Howlet House. I still enjoy a reasonable portion of good health. I have the rheumatism a little in one limb, but with this exception I am yet hearty, thank God.
Ancestor of Alison Hockman Freeland, Carolyn Evans Austin, Frances Wooldridge Evans, Joan Reynolds Butler, Valorie Austin Tillett.

This lovely piece of raw gold in quartz was found last year by a prospector using a metal detector in a remote part of Siskiyou County, California. Gold veins are scattered all throughout this piece, with small outcrops of gold visible on all sizes in many locations. A fine example of truly high-grade ore from California.

Choosing a primary school: what do you look for?
In the previous article in this series on primary school applications in Hong Kong, I sketched out the boundaries of the local school choice battlefield, introducing the basic types of local Hong Kong schools, and how they go about admitting students. But any good general out on the field needs more than a map: he needs a battle plan that sets out a proactive sequence of moves that must be made to win the day.
This is part of a series on how to choose and apply to a Primary School in Hong Kong. You can see the full list of articles on the left.
If you've reached this page via a search engine, you'll probably want to read the introduction first.
With my arsenal of martial metaphors temporarily discharged, let's move on and put the whole schools application process into a different kind of order – a chronological one. If you're looking for a school for your child, this may turn out to be the most useful approach to the whole mess, because once any one of the umpteen deadlines you'll face has been missed, it's really missed. Schools here don't seem at all interested in granting do-overs.
The actual primary schools admissions-and-interviews firefight (sorry; I was wrong about the metaphors) in Hong Kong can take over a year. We put in our first application form in May 2007, had our initial interview in late June 2007, and although we've been spared the need to participate in the central allocation and the last-minute jockeying for places that will go on in June 2008, many parents are not.
But if you want to be well-prepared for the hour in which the bullets begin to fly (I promise I'll stop; really) you need to initiate your reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering (that's it) even earlier.
Since the process itself is so long, it may appear that there will be lots of time to get things done – to research schools, to prepare application packages, to write letters. But we found ourselves frequently feeling rushed; deadlines crept up quickly, and since there are so many of them, at times we wished we'd been better prepared.
I'd therefore suggest the following rough timeline for preparing for, and engaging in this application process. I've included key dates in approximate terms only, since the actual days on which these deadlines fall will vary a bit from year to year. My calendar dates are oriented in relationship to the day your child will start school, i.e. in September of a new school year. We'll call that benchmark 'E-Day' (for education, of course). The dates therefore are stated in months before E-Day, beginning, as you'll see, weeeelllll in advance.
It's also now that you should start thinking about how you might assemble an application portfolio. I'll discuss their composition (as well as their general ridiculousness) in a later article, so for now suffice it to say that some schools really do look at the certificates and awards your budding genius may have earned. At one interview, for example, the teacher who interviewed Mrs Tall and me flipped through Daughter Tall's portfolio right in front of us, and then assigned an 'extra-curriculars' score on her application form on the spot.
You might also consider enrolling Junior in an interview prep course at this point. We didn't do so with Daughter Tall, but in retrospect, I'm even more appalled to admit that, again, it might really have done some good. More on this later, too.
May-November (E-Day minus 16-10 months): These months are a grind devoted to downloading/sending for/picking-up-in-person application forms for DSS and private schools, submitting them by the stipulated deadlines, and then escorting your darling to interviews. Oh, and to watching the mailbox.
Most DSS and private schools will have informational sessions for parents in conjunction with their interviews. It's of course a good idea to attend these if you can, as you're going to get a better feel for the school simply by being there. Government-funded schools may also hold open days or information sessions during this period as well.
Our earliest interview was in late June; the last one we attended was in October, but many schools' are later. The schools also varied greatly in sending out their results. Some did so within a couple of weeks of the interview, others took months. One -- ironically, the one that granted Daughter Tall her very first interview way back in June -- we're still waiting to hear from, and I guess now probably never will . . . .
At this point it – if you haven't already done so – it would really help to put together a calendar or spreadsheet or table or something that sets out clearly what schools you have in mind, their distinguishing characteristics, the elements needed for their applications, and the details and deadlines of their application processes. That way you won't miss the application deadlines as come up. It's also helpful just to keep from getting confused about which school is which. This never seemed to be a problem for Mrs Tall – who as a native Hong Konger already had a mental image of most of the schools we applied to – but for me getting thoroughly mixed up was par for the course. I had especially perplexing problems remember schools whose names are transliterations from Chinese, and found it incredibly hard to remember which schools were DSS, which were private, and so on. I also could not be trusted to remember deadlines for submitting application forms.
The key is, I had the preternaturally-organized Mrs Tall to rely on; you do not. Make up that table, put the dates in your PDA, write them on your toenails, whatever – just don't count on yourself to remember all of them in time.
Mid-September-early October (roughly E-Day minus 11 months): time to fill in the Discretionary Place Admission scheme form (these are usually distributed to kids at their kindergartens) and submit it. Note that you can choose only one school to apply to for a discretionary place, and that you'll need to submit the application form directly to that school, in person, at a designated time.
Late November (E-Day minus 9.5 months): the Government releases Discretionary Admission scheme results, to joy for some, and rending of garments and gnashing of teeth for many others. If your kid gets a place, and you decide to take it, you'll need to register within just a couple of days of getting the good news.
Late January (E-Day minus 7.5 months): Parents whose kids haven't got a DSS or Discretionary Place go to an allocation centre to submit a list of schools for the Central Allocation scheme.
Early June (E-Day minus 3 months): Central Allocation scheme results released.
Throughout June (E-Day minus 2-3 months): The Great Shakeup commences, as people holding onto multiple places for their kids are forced to finally make up their minds, and open places appear all over the spectrum for people willing to hunt them down.

Q: new to Bash. Simple script I am new to bash scripting and I am practicing some code.
I am trying to create a script that displays the following output and loops until the user types x or X
Menu 1
C) Calculation
X) Exit
C
Menu 2
Enter an integer or press X to exit:
22
Menu 3
+) Add

Menu 2
Enter an integer or press X to exit:
50
Menu 3

Menu 2
       Enter an integer or press X to exit:
23
The difference of 50 and  23 is 27
Menu 1
C) Calculation
X) Exit
X
Here is my code for it:
add ()
{

((sum=n1 + n2))
echo  "The sum of $n1 and $n2 is  $sum"
exit
}

subtract ()
{

((difference=n1 - n2))
echo "The difference of $n1 and  $n2 is $difference"
exit
}

 while true
 do
 echo "Menu 1"
 echo "C) Calculation"
 echo "X) Exit"

 read opr

 if [ ${opr} = 'x' ] || [ ${opr} = 'X' ]
 then
  break

 elif [ ${opr} = 'c' ] || [ ${opr} = 'C' ]
 then
 echo "Menu 2"
 echo "Enter an integer or press X to exit:"

 fi

 read n1

 if [ $n1 = 'x' ] || [ $n1 = 'X' ]
 then
     break

 else

 echo "Menu3"
 echo "+) Add"
 echo "-) Subtract"

 fi

 read opr

if [ $opr = '+' ]
then

echo "Please enter another integer to perform addition"
read n2
add

elif [ $opr = '-' ]
echo "Please enter another integer to perform subtraction"
read n2
subtract

fi

done

I am receiving this error message:
./myscript.sh: line 72: syntax error near unexpected token fi'
./myscript.sh: line 72:fi'
I believe if I make menu1, menu2, and menu3 into functions I could achieve what I desire my output to be instead of this version of it.
But I know that I will still have a problem with those fi ... any idea where I should put them or what do I need to do for my code to work and not give an error?
Thanks
Pill

A: You simply forgot an then after elif
Look the general example from http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/06/bash-if-statement-examples/
If [ conditional expression1 ]
then
    statement1
    statement2
.
elif [ conditional expression2 ]
then
    statement3
    statement4
    .
.
.
else
    statement5
fi

In your code:
...
elif [ $opr = '-' ]
then  <<<<<<< missing in your code!
    echo "Please enter another integer to perform subtraction"
    read n2
    subtract

fi

EDIT: Why the program did not loop
If you write exit in your add and subtract method, your script will exit. Why it should not? Tip: remove both  exit and the loop have a chance :-)

RTB Rent Index shows drop in standardised average Rent Level in Cork City since July
Galway City has overtaken Cork City with the second-highest standardised average rent level between July and September of this year.
Maeve Lee
The Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) has published the quarterly Rent Index for the July September period (Q3) of 2020 which shows the national year-on-year growth rate has remained below 2 percent for two consecutive quarters for the first time since late 2012.
On an annual basis, rents grew nationally by 1.4 percent in the third quarter of this year, going from €1,239 in the third quarter of 2019 to €1,256 in same quarter this year.
In Cork, the standardised average rent in the city between July and September of this year was €1,220 while per month while Galway City stood at at €1,269 per month in Q3 2020.
In the second quarter of this year, Cork City's average rent was €1,208 with Galway City slightly behind Cork at €1,169.
Out of all of the cities, Waterford City had the lowest standardised average rent of all the in Q3 2020 at €839 per month.
However, while annualised rental inflation rates in Dublin City, Cork City and Galway City were all below 2 percent, strong annual growth occurred in Waterford City at 8.8 percent and in Limerick City at 4.3 percent per annum.
In Q3 2020, eight counties had standardised average rents above €1,000 euros per month including Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kildare, Limerick, Louth, Meath, and Wicklow.
This is the first time that standardised average rents in Limerick exceeded €1,000 per month.
The RTB Rent Index is compiled in conjunction with the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) and it is based on actual rents paid on 25,193 private tenancies registered with the RTB, which is made up of homes new to the rental sector, new tenancies in existing housing stock and renewals of existing tenancies.
Speaking on the findings for the third quarter of this year, Padraig McGoldrick, Interim Director of the RTB said that the impact of Covid-19 is obvious.
"The effect of Covid-19 on the rental sector can be seen once again in the third quarter of 2020. There is an ongoing moderation in rental price growth which can be seen throughout the country, most notably in Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area.
"We know Covid-19 has impacted on both landlords and tenants and the RTB are working to support both by ensuring that information is available on new rental legislation and supports are available for those affected.
"We continue to encourage those who are experiencing issues in their tenancies to visit our website for information on how to resolve issues," he added.

For the Highest Good of All?
I have always believed that everything happens for a reason. As I've matured in this notion it has deepened in my knowing that the universe is indeed perfect. That everything is always happening for the highest and best good. That everything unfolding is always for a higher purpose.
Even when it's something we don't prefer. Even when it's something that looks really ugly.
Can we make the shift into believing that this is all happening for a reason? Can we change our perception to know that this is what Divine Intervention looks like? We get to choose our reality. Nothing outside us is in our control, but we do get to control how we RESPOND to what life is dishing out.
There are only two dimensions in the attitudes we will project. Either you behave as if you are a victim of circumstance, or you take full responsibility for your situation. At low levels of frequency human beings look outside themselves when they experience an emotional high or an emotional low. The human tendency is to look for outer causes for our moods, rooted in the essential core belief that we are victims of our material reality. In order to escape from prison one must first realize that one is in a prison.
Last night my husband and I consciously decided to check out of the collective consciousness. We unplugged from the swirling fear that was vibrationally consuming our country by retreating into our hot tub. Joking that we were getting into a time machine. We agreed to unplug from all media, to shut off our personal devices and to retreat into our own little world. Lighting a candle FOR THE HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED, which burned all night and remains lit today. We prepared ourselves for the shift humanity was about to go through. Whether we liked it or not.
What a Divine and perfect Spiritual Curriculum Trump lays before us.
For much of the population on our planet humanity is stuck in victim mode. People blame for all the things going wrong in their life and they wait quietly in a corner for some savior to save the day.
I believe that as humanity transitions out of the mode of victimhood and towards freedom, the only way this can happen is for everyone to come into the knowing that no one can save them. No one can save you except yourself. I do not say this as a cynic, but rather as the deep knowing that I am in control of only one thing – me. I control my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I can make a choice to see this historic world event as a natural world disaster or to shift my perspective into the knowing that, while I may not be able to see it at this moment, that all is happening as it should. As it must for the continued evolution of our world.
This is an opportunity for humanity to realize that even a mogul like Trump can't make them richer or happier or healthier. That regardless of his promises and their belief, that he is not a savior. He cannot (and I predict, will not) solve their problems and sooth their hearts.
Only we can do this for ourselves.
Trump is here to be the catalyst for the change in which people claim their own power. He is the catalyst for which people will learn that they can rely only on their own strength, their own knowing, their own truth. For the people to rise-up and know that they are the creators. That they have all the answers and all the resources inside themselves and by our thoughts alone, that we are creating our realities. He is the catalyst by which we will all come into this knowing. He will be the underpinning that births the revelation that is not about one. It's about oneness.
I have been begging my husband to meditate with me for a year. I want him to experience the rich juicy deliciousness of Spirit providing that yummy e-ticket Disneyland ride that takes place on my bedroom floor each morning. He has declined with his many reasons asking me to please stop pushing and that his meditation is in front of his canvas. It was this morning that he sat down next to me. It was today, on this day, he chose to go within. I saw this as symbolic for what needs to occur in our country. Although he sat for only five minutes, I allowed the tears to stream down my face as I came into the awareness that this is what will rebalance our country. Going within.
We have a choice. We can plug ourselves into the continued unfolding angst, the sadness, the upset and the drama. Or we can ask ourselves, "what is here for me? What is unfolding at this time that is for the greater good of our world? How can the chaos, the disruption and what appears to be the opposite of peace be disguised as a gift to lead us to just that?
We can know that the spiritually-guided Universe is wiser than our ego-based selves, and that the Gods are at work. That no matter how ugly things may appear, that all is unfolding for the greater good. THE HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED.

Robert O'Hara Burke
Robert O'Hara Burke (1821-1861), explorer, came to Australia in 1853 and joined the Victorian police force. A charismatic daredevil, he was anxious to be appointed to the exploratory expedition from the south to the north of the continent, although he was without experience as an explorer and the trip, made on behalf of the Royal Society of Victoria, had no clear objective. In 1860 he took command of the expedition. Burke's instructions were minimal, and practically incoherent, but they did clearly stipulate that the base camp was to be at Cooper's Creek. Burke disregarded this directive and split his party several times, with dire results. He and Wills did reach the mangroves of the Gulf of Carpentaria, but on the terrible return to Coopers Creek one of their party of four died. When Burke, Wills and King got to Coopers Creek they found that the waiting party had just left, with most of the provisions. Determined to travel light, Burke had jettisoned most of his own party's food. Dying of starvation and exhaustion, he reportedly asked King to leave him unburied on the desert ground, his pistol in his hand.

The rest of the set features notable contributions from Muddy Waters, Magic Sam, Jimmy Reed, Lightnin' Hopkins, Professor Longhair, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Rogers, Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, T-Bone Walker, and Bobby Bland. There are also less essential contributions from Robert Cray, Charles Brown, Johnny Adams, Otis Rush and others that tip the scales in the opposite direction. This isn't a bad collection, necessarily, but there are overall far better collections out there to spend your money on. ---Cub Koda, All Music Guide

Q: Return type from custom method is not the same as expected in XAML I have a custom method that returns a Brush that will be used as a background:
class ListBoxBackgroundSelector : BackgroundBrushSelector
{
    public Brush fondo1 { get; set; }
    public Brush fondo2 { get; set; }
    private static bool usado = false;

    public override Brush SelectBrushStyle(object item, DependencyObject container)
    {
        Brush fondo = null;
        if (usado)
        {
            fondo = fondo1;
        }
        else
        {
            fondo = fondo2;
        }

        usado = !usado;

        return fondo;
    }

which extends from the abstract class
public abstract class BackgroundBrushSelector : ContentControl
{
    public abstract Brush SelectBrushStyle(object item, DependencyObject container);

    protected override void OnContentChanged(object oldContent, object newContent)
    {
        base.OnContentChanged(oldContent, newContent);

       Background  = SelectBrushStyle(newContent, this);
    }
}

And I am using it in the following XAML declaration
<Grid.Background>
   <local:ListBoxBackgroundSelector Background="{Binding}" fondo1="#19001F5B" fondo2="#FFFFFFFF" />
</Grid.Background>

But Visual Studio highlights the local:ListBoxBackgroundSelector line with an error that says

The specific value cannot be assigned.  The expected value is "Brush"

But the method returns a Brush!  And its return is being assigned to the Background, which indeed expects a Brush.
The project compiles and run, but when it reaches the page where is all this stuff, it just breaks with an "Unhandled Exception" and nothing else to look at.
There is something in the middle that I am not aware of.  Can anyone help?

A: The method you wrote returns a brush, but you didn't place the method in the Background, you placed your class, which inherits from ContentControl. The way I see it, you now have a few options. The most obvious to me would be to place a binding to whatever controls the state of your background, and add a converter to return the correct brush, something like this:
public class BackgroundConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return new SolidColorBrush((bool)value ? Colors.Red : Colors.Blue);
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

Or you can place the class you already have as the main control in your view.
Another option is to create a MarkupExtension of your own, similar to binding with converter, if you'd like that bit of extra control over it.

UK manufacturers could invest £2.5bn in clean energy by 2025, Barclays claims
British manufacturers could inject £2.56bn into the UK economy and cut energy consumption by nearly a third over the next decade by investing in clean technologies and efficiency measures, according to research from British multinational bank Barclays.

Share UK manufacturers could invest £2.5bn in clean energy by 2025, Barclays claims from edie via Email
Economic modelling from Barclays shows that greater investment in energy efficiency and clean technologies could result in significantly higher levels of profitability and value added by the UK manufacturing over the medium and longer term. According to Barclays, the increased investment represents a significant opportunity for UK manufacturing to enhance its international competitiveness through better export performance and protection against low-cost imports.
The Barclays Corporate Banking Powering On report also examines current attitudes of UK manufacturers towards energy supply and management and models how manufacturers could reduce their energy demand.
A survey of 525 managers in the UK manufacturing industry conducted late last year reveals UK manufacturers consider energy resilience as 'critical' to the sectors maintaining international competition. The research also demonstrates that availability, reliability and energy costs are among high concerns for businesses, with 27% of manufacturers surveyed suggesting that energy supply is a higher concern to businesses compared to beginning of 2016.
Barclays head of manufacturing, transport and logistics Mike Rigby said: "Energy resilience and costs are vital considerations for UK manufacturers and are a critical element of our manufacturing sector's ability to compete internationally.
"In recent months, attention has focused on the future of energy supply but we need to look at all aspects of energy. By considering energy management on the demand side in intensive sectors such as manufacturing, we can ensure the UK remains competitive."
Energy concerns
The survey shows that manufacturing managers view energy shortages and rising energy prices as significant risks for the UK manufacturing industry. Most of the sector (63%) believes that they are vulnerable to energy shortages and are concerned that current preparations are insufficient, while 60% believe the risk of costs increases and supply disruption will increase the amount of energy as UK imports increases.
Additionally, the survey demonstrates that 75% of respondents are concerned about energy prices and almost half (46%) believe they are vulnerable to effects of energy price increases. Energy availability and reliability is also a major concern, with 58% and 45% of manufactures citing these as concerns.
This survey follows a similar one conducted by npower Business Solutions (nBS) that revealed that 87% of manufacturing businesses are worried about the impact of European energy policy in 2017, with almost two-thirds highlighting Brexit as the main concern for their companies.
Sector solutions
With these significant risks being a point of concern throughout the industry, many manufacturers are investing in energy management technologies or have plans to within the next 12 months. Barclays states that more than a third (35%) of manufacturers are investing in energy efficiency, while 22% are negotiating lengthier energy supplier contracts, and 21% and 13% are looking into material efficiency and self-generation measures respectively.
Barclays claims that if all manufacturers worked to be as energy efficient as current sector leaders, this could create an industry worth £160bn to the wider economy by 2025 and 5.1% increase in value terms compared to 2015, and a £306m increase on the projected value.
Rigby continued: "We know manufacturers are already taking steps to improve their energy resilience, from investing in energy efficiency to self-generation and partnering with resource recovery parks.
"However, our research shows that increasing this investment will not only protect the sector from future fluctuations in energy supply, but will also benefit the wider economy by making the sector more internationally competitive through reduced costs and increased productivity."
