Emeritus Prof Christopher May<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BAESystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BAESystems</a> have now confirmed that they have won the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/AUKUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AUKUS</a> contract worth nearly £4bn to develop a dedicated <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/submarine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#submarine</a> capacity... much of this work will come to <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Cumbria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cumbria</a>. This looks like pretty good news for <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> in <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Barrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barrow</a>, but the bigger Q. is whether this is the sort of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/investment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#investment</a> the UK should be encouraging?Given this looks a lot like 'military Keynesiansim' I reflected on this issue in a piece for <a href="https://mastodon.social/@NWBylines" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NWBylines</a> <a href="https://northwestbylines.co.uk/business/local-business/is-military-keynesianism-good-for-britain/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://northwestbylines.co.uk/business/local-business/is-military-keynesianism-good-for-britain/</a>

Emeritus Prof Christopher MayGood & bad news in the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NorthWest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorthWest</a>: Good: optimism about the future of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Barrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barrow</a> is in full effect, with <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/BAE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BAE</a>'s full order book offering the town 30yrs of work building submarines.... and as you can see their <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#productivity</a> is on the way up (while they still hope to attract more <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> to the 'longest cul-de-sac in the country).Bad: unlike Barrow, the rest of the North West is seeing further declines in productivity. For anyone hoping to move away from the <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/defence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#defence</a>, this is not good news.

b-unicylingI've been doing quite a bit of waterway mapping recently and discovered this 25m long shipwreck in the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Barrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Barrow</a> yesterday. Reported it to the National Monument Service today.

Prof Susan Oosthuizen6. "WELL", I can hear you asking, "WAS there a full <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solar</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/eclipse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eclipse</a> visible in Jutland in that period?" And the astounding answer is "Yes!" It happened on 5 May 2789 BC, just the period to which the disc is dated, making it a wonderfully vivid record of what its maker, the builders of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/barrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barrow</a>, and communities they lived in actually experienced in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Neolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neolithic</a> northern Denmark nearly 6,000 years ago. It is one of the most incredible archaeological artefacts I've ever seen 🎺🎺🎺. END.

Prof Susan Oosthuizen3. The disc was found in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Neolithic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neolithic</a> long <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/barrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#barrow</a> in east Jutland, and is believed to have been buried shortly after it was baked. So it is between 3,000 and 2,000 years old. Hold onto your hat!

Stories and FolkloreThe ancient crooked path that wanders its way across the western part of the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/IsleOfWight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IsleOfWight</a>, is one of the most ancient chalk roads in the country.
