This week’s trip is lighthouse themed, there are a handful of lighthouses among the San Juan Islands and we toured a bunch of them. We had a smaller group this time, only 8 passengers, it’s nice sometimes to have fewer people to cook for and then I get more of a chance to talk to them.
Lunch: Hot turkey sliders, spinach salad with cucumbers and strawberries and honey mustard dressing, carrot salad with lemon vinaigrette
Dinner: Rock fish with romesco sauce, seared polenta squares and green beans
Dessert: Chamomile honey bundt cake with orange segments and whipped cream
Our first day out we stopped at Burrows Island Light Station, tendered people ashore and explored. The lighthouse itself was nice but the better part was the light keeper’s house, run down and abandoned. I went in through the basement and explored one half of the building and went through the attic to get to the other side, it’s a duplex. The Northwest Schooner Society is currently collecting donations and working on repairing the buildings.
Breakfast: Zucchini and corn frittata with sausage, grapes and English muffin bread
Lunch: Vietnamese caramelized pork with rice and zesty coleslaw
Dinner: Chicken piccata with spring greens pasta and green salad
The next day we stopped at Turn Point Lighthouse on Stuart Island, the shore party hiked out to the light and by the time they got back I had an appetizer laid out for them. It was a good thing I did too because they were cold and a little wet but Scott seemed to need it most of all. The battery on the small boat failed so the engine wouldn’t start so Scott rowed the wooden launch ashore to fetch the passengers.
Breakfast: Dutch babies with lemon curd and blueberries, yoghurt and granola
Lunch: Roasted cauliflower soup with sourdough bread and salad
Dinner: Pot roast with brown butter mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables
Dessert: Chocolate cobbler with ice cream
Finally, we got good weather on our third day, this allowed us to set the main sail, we hadn’t done it yet this trip because there was too much wind. Having a small group of passengers and not a lot of crew means that I sometimes end up helping raise the sails, the main is huge, it’s the largest on the West coast. We sailed close by to Canada and were able to see East Point Light on Saturna Island and then stopped at Patos Island Lighthouse to have a look around until it was time for dinner. It was another cold evening and a hot pot roast for dinner was very satisfying.
Breakfast: Potato farls, scrambled eggs, roasted tomatoes, herby goat cheese spread
Lunch: Pork tacos al pastor, Spanish rice and refried beans
On our way back to Bellingham we stopped at one more island for one last light station, Vendovi Island. Overall it was a great trip and I look forward to going on it again next year so I can make it ashore to a few more lighthouses.

“It will be much sweeter as sugar is the cheapest ingredient and can be used to hide the fact that there is less cocoa”Chocolate taster Angus Kennedy
In the future, bars will be bulked up with cheaper ingredients such as sugar, palm oil and vegetable fat.
Many of the world’s cocoa plantations have been taken over by rubber crops, which grow quicker and are more profitable.
Chocolate firms will have to make it mainly from nuts or nougat and it will be more bendy rather than brittle.
Agriculture experts said the change will happen by 2020.
Chocolate taster Angus Kennedy dubbed the future snack “chocolight”, adding: “I have tasted the chocolate bar of the future.
“It’s nothing like what we currently know and love.
“It will be much sweeter as sugar is the cheapest ingredient and can be used to hide the fact that there is less cocoa.
“Giving the bar a different shape cleverly hides the fact that it’s less chocolate.
“The chocolight bar is a lot thinner than we are used to.
“They will try to distract us from the fact that we are just buying less chocolate for the same price.”
Cadbury’s Dairy Milk and Galaxy recently revamped their bars while cutting down on their size.

Alternatives to Exclusion from School
Exclusion from school is a major concern for teachers, parents and children, and features in government initiatives to tackle social exclusion. This book takes a broad look at exclusion, mapping the extent of exclusions and showing what factors can lead to children being excluded, whether permanently or informally, from school.
The authors focus on various kinds of in-school alternatives to exclusion. They show how schools and teachers can make a difference to young people’s emotional and social development, as well as to their cognitive-intellectual development. For many children with difficulties in their families or communities, school can be a safe and supportive refuge. School is also much more than just the subjects

Billiards Pool Game for Beginners
Practicing straight shots can improve your technique, but easy shots like that rarely come along in actual games. So its time to get comfortable with angled shots.To improve your angled shots, keep the target ball close the pocket at first. Imagine a line connecting the pocket to the target ball and extending to the other side of the table. Place the cue ball so that it does not fall on the line, and aim it so it will be on the line the instant that it hits the target ball. If your aim is accurate, you will pocket the target ball.Practice angled shots from a variety of locations around the table.As with any game of skill, all it takes is practice to improve your game.

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet believes Black Cats will sign £14m Fabio Borini from Liverpool this week
- Sunderland agreed a fee for the striker four weeks ago
- Poyet is confident he has convinced Borini to move to the Stadium of Light
- The Italian will become the Black Cats' most expensive signing ever
- Brighton's Will Buckley is another target for Poyet this summer
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet is confident the Black Cats will complete their club record £14million signing of Liverpool striker Fabio Borini 'in the next few days'.
The two clubs agreed a fee four weeks ago, but Poyet's efforts to convince the player to move to the Stadium of Light have so far met with frustration.
However the Uruguayan has reiterated his desire to seal the deal with the Italian and believes it could be completed before the weekend.
VIDEO Scroll down for Liverpool v Roma: Fabio Borini shoulder injury
Confident: Sunderland manager Gus Poyet says the club are closing in on a deal for Liverpool's Fabio Borini
Record: Borini, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland, will become the club's most expensive signing
Poyet told Sky Sports News: 'The idea was to have the deal done a few weeks ago, but for different reasons it was impossible, but we are confident that maybe in the next few days we can do something about Fabio.
'I'm always thinking that we can add quality players, especially the ones we know, and let's hope that confidence I am trying to bring to the club is confirmed...with the signing of Borini.'
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan with the Black Cats, scoring 10 goals in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Poyet is continuing his bid to add reinforcements to his squad with Brighton wide man Will Buckley once again linked with a move to Wearside.
Sunderland failed in a bid to prize Buckley away from the Seagulls in January and the 24-year-old is known to Poyet having played under him at the AMEX Stadium.
Poyet added: 'Too many things going on and it is difficult to comment on every single one.
'Of course there are a few we know better - in terms of Buckley I know better because we had him at Brighton.
'But sometimes it is unfair, you comment on players and say names, I say if Im interested or not and then it doesn't happen.'

CPM says doors open for non-BJP forces as plenum begins
From the West Bengal perspective too, Yechury did not rule out any understanding with the Congress to counter the Trinamool Congress, which, according to him, is playing a “got-up” match with BJP.kolkata Updated: Dec 27, 2015 15:05 IST
On the eve of the CPI(M)’s four-day plenum in Kolkata, party general secretary Sitaram Yechury kept the avenues open for an accord with non-BJP forces, including the Congress, to counter the BJP and its allies nationally.
From the West Bengal perspective too, Yechury did not rule out any understanding with the Congress to counter the Trinamool Congress, which, according to him, is playing a “got-up” match with BJP.
“The current ruling force has three major threats --- communal agenda, an extremely aggressive liberal economic policy which even the earlier Dr Manomohan Singh government did not pursue, and a blatantly pro-USA external affairs policy. While CPI(M) has to prepare itself to resist these threats on its own strength, political forces who are also willing to counter these threat are also welcome,” Yechury said on Saturday.
Asked if the state units of Kerala and West Bengal would be free to take decisions based on ground realities ahead of the forthcoming assembly elections in Kerala and West Bengal, Yechury said they will have the liberty to take independent decisions and implement them after consultation with the party’s central leadership.
“The state units have the organisational liberty to take decisions based on ground realities. First, let the state unit start discussions and deliberations, which will happen only after the plenum, where the main point of discussion will be how to strengthen the party organisationally,” he said.
The ground realities in the two states are very different for the CPI(M). While in Kerala the Congress is the Left Democratic Front (LDF)’s principal political opposition, in West Bengal it has to fight with the TMC – for this, a major section of the party’s state leadership favours having an understanding with the Congress.
Asked if there is a chance of him meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Yechury said, “May be to wish a happy new year.”
Recently, in his article published in the party organ, People’s Democracy, Yechury strongly advocated for using “conflicts within sections of the ruling class parties while uniting with some of them” to achieve immediate objectives.

City of Sanctuary movement gaining momentum in Hackney
Around 100 people gathered in the blooming Dalston Curve Garden on Friday to celebrate a movement which wants to see Hackney accredited as a ‘Borough of Sanctuary’.
The City of Sanctuary movement sets a “gold standard” for cities, towns and boroughs in the services, support and welcome given to migrants.
“So much negative press, much of it based on misinformation and scaremongering, is given to refugees and other migrants,” said Methodist minister and committed activist for the Sanctuary cause Cathy Bird in a speech.
“We want to say that for most people the opportunity to live in a place which embraces those who come here, for whatever reason, is seen as being a gift, a cause for celebration.
“The Borough of Sanctuary movement gives organisations and individuals alike the chance to say what sort of society they want to live and work in, a society which is hospitable and welcoming to people whoever they are and wherever they come from.”

Abstract for: Economic Dynamics for Smarter Cities
The economy is studied at all scales, from micro to macro. With global trends toward rapid urbanization, one abstracted scale of the economy will become increasingly important to understand, that of a city economy. Working in close cooperation with the urban planning staff of a US city, the authors developed a system dynamics model of a city as a complex, adaptive, system of system. The economy sector of the model is distinguished by its incorporation of the city’s highly porous boundaries and unification of multiple definitional approaches to the key measure of City Gross Domestic Product. The result is a “system thinking” tool for policy makers to explore the relationships between citywide, policy-initiated changes and the structurally determined performance of the city economy.

News from the European Commission's Midday Briefing
Nouvelles du rendez-vous de midi de la Commission européenne
The European Commission today welcomed the launch of Education at a Glance 2012, an annual report providing data from 34 countries including 21 EU Member States (list below) on performance in education. The report, compiled by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), identifies several areas in European education that are likely to create challenges in the near future. An ageing teaching force is one of them: more than 40% of secondary school teachers in five EU countries (Austria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, the Netherlands, Sweden) are aged 50 or older – in Germany and Italy the share is even higher at more than 50%. Gender inequality is also a problem: the report shows that nearly a third more women than men are enrolling in higher education in the EU.

Many of the greatest moments in modern Olympic history have been where two champions have met and not just competed against each other to win gold, but also they have become inextricably linked. It could be because they were from the same or from different countries. It could be because they shared a strong friendship, or the reverse were bitter rivals. It could also be that one was on the way up, the other one the way down. So many Olympics have had their story told through the competitions between athletes like Zatopek and Mimoun, Powell and Lewis, Johnson and Yang, Thorpe and Spitz. From this type of perspective the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics will always been known for the legendary “Battle of the Brians”; the men’s figure skating competition where the American Brian Boitano and the Canadian Brian Orser went head to head in arguably the greatest men’s skating program at the Olympics.
Calgary won the right to host the 1988 Winter Olympics on September 30th, 1981, after two previously unsuccessful bids. Canadian Summer Olympic history was long and prestigious, however the Montreal 1976 Games had been a traumatic experience thanks to the cost blow-outs, the African boycott and the failure of any Canadian to win a gold medal at their home games. Therefore, with the Canadian passion for such winter sports as ice hockey, speed and figure skating, and skiing it was hoped that the Calgary Winter Olympics would do much to redeem the emotional and financial investment in Canadian Olympism.
Four years before the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics Canada found a new emerging figure skating star to support, who would hopefully bring them gold in their home-town Olympics. In the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics Ontario-born Brian Orser had skated well enough to surpass the eventual gold medallist American Scott Hamilton in both the short and long programs of the men’s figure skating, however his relatively poor performance in the highly technical figures meant that Orser ended up with the silver medal. The best result for a Canadian male figure skater at the Olympics, it was reasonable to assume he climb one step higher up the podium in Calgary. Between 1984 and 1988 Orser developed into a genuine gold medal hope with one world championship gold, two silvers plus the 1987 season saw him win almost every championship he entered. However there was one particular rival who loomed large as a gold medal threat; his name, Brian Boitano.
Boitano, an American from the state of California with Italian ancestry had first competed against Orser in the 1978 Junior World Championships where Boitano had won first place, followed by the Canadian in second. The first American male skater to land a triple axel, at Sarajevo he finished fifth. Then, at the 1985 ISU World Figure Skating championships he came third behind Orser again (with Soviet skater Alexandr Fadeyev winning the title), followed by winning that championship one year later in Geneva. Significantly for the build up to the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, at the 1987 World Championships in Cincinnati Orser reversed the preceding year’s result as Boitano failed to land a new move, a quadruple toe loop. The stage had been set; the two Brian’s were established as the leading contenders for the Calgary gold medal and whilst Orser was arguably more proficient artistically (which made him more attractive to spectators during the long program), Boitano arguably more athletic but not as inspired in his choreography. Naturally there would also be the home-town factor; unlike Sarajevo where neither of the two Brians had any support from local spectators, in Calgary it was to be expected that Orser would have fanatical Canadians willing him on to gold.
The 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary were in full swing by the time the men’s figure skating program began. After the first round (the compulsory figures) the men’s figure skating was actually led by the 1985 world champion, the Soviet skater Fadeyev, in front of Boitano (second) and Orser (third). However it wasn’t that part of the program which would define who would win gold; the artistic segments of the skating program where the skaters would spend most of their time on the ice with the greater potential benefit score-wise. Plus both the short and long artistic would bring to bear the influence of the spectators, both on the skaters and possibly the judges.
The short program saw Fedeyev drop dramatically down to 9th place, whilst as expected Boitano and Orser lifted into second and first respectively. The Ukrainian skater Viktor Petrenko rose into third, but his compulsory figures weren’t good enough to threaten the two Brians. It all depended upon the long artistic or free skates from Boitano (who had chosen a routine developed by his relatively new choreographer Sandra Bezic which aimed to show him off as less “a jumping robot”) and from Orser (who also used a military theme in his free skate, with music from Shostakhovich). Pundits noted that whilst Orser was perhaps more skittish on the ice, he had the advantage (or disadvantage) of Canadian expectations.
Boitano was the first to skate in the long artistic program, and his performance was near perfect technically. He scored five 5.9’s from the judges which reinforced the reputation of him as a strong and correct skater. His artistic points weren’t quite as strong, with three 5.9’s and one 5.7. The majority of the crowd may have been Canadian however they recognised a great skater with strong applause. The opening was there for Brian Orser to take the gold medal with a higher scoring performance, and as he skated out to begin Orser looked unusually confident.
For the first 90 seconds of his skate Orser was both technically and artistic brilliant. However when Orser attempted a triple flip jump he failed to laucnh off his toe pick correctly, and whilst he didn’t fall his two feet landing was a small flaw that the judges interpreted as a difference between him and Boitano. Then, at the 3 minute 41 second mark Orser flew into what was supposed to be a triple axel was performed as a double axel as Orser’s fatigue level increased. With the end of his free skate the two Brians were incomparably close, but the judges had two specific reference points to differentiate them on technically.
As the technical points were displayed for Orser’s free skate Boitano’s chances for the gold rose even higher. Orser was only able to secure one 5.9 score, yet this was compensated for with five 5.9s in the artistic scores plus one 6.0. Orser had skated with flair and imagination, but it was Boitano who got the nod from the judges, splitting the decision 5-4 in his favour. Two judges had both Brians tied, but when they looked to break the tie they went to the technical scores. The final score in factored places was Boitano rated a position of 3.0 whilst Orser ranked 4.2. Boitano took the gold, Orser the silver and Petrenko the bronze.
Sadly for the Canadians this meant that just as in Montreal they would be denied a home town gold medal at their own Olympics. Yet no matter the medals awarded to them, both Brian Boitano and Brian Orser were good friends with each other and they had provided the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics a defining moment. During the medal ceremony Boitano reflected on his rival and friend, saying afterwards “I almost felt guilty feeling great. I tried to hold it back, so me feeling great wouldn’t make him (Orser) feel worse.” The Battle of the Brians had been won and lost, yet as always in the best Olympic moments rivalry and winning was pushed into the background. The victor was not arrogant, the loser not humiliated; it was a sublime moment of competition elevated by generous human spirits.

Ticket booked for Sunday July 29th 2012!! http://www.cambridgefolkfestival.co.uk/
Acts scheduled to performing:
Music: 12 midday-11pm
Fay Hield & The Hurricane Party
Ross Ainslie & Jarlath Henderson Band
OK, I didn’t get to see all of those acts, and you never do succeed when there are at least two and often far more venues within one festival. Sadly, I didn’t make it to see Lau, Nic Jones and a number of others, but of those I did see The Unwanted, Karine Polwart, Seth Lakeman, Loreena McKennitt, The Staves and Habadekuk were all excellent and worthy of recommendation.
Strangely, I found Joan Armatrading‘s set a bit distant and uninspired, though it probably didn’t help that I had been standing undercover and out of the rain and thunder for about 5 hours by that time. The last time I saw her was at the NEC in the early 80s, when the music was, with the benefit of rosy-tinted hindsight, fresh and alive.
However, the stand-out performers were Ruthie Foster, whose smoky soaring voice is soaked in soul and gospel, and the amazing Angelique Kidjo (“Africa’s premier diva” according to Time magazine), who contrives to bring wonderful African music to the stage and be genuinely entertaining without trying.
As for Cambridge, I think I will go again!

The girls in Little Women are raised to hold fast to their moral principles, listening to their own consciences before they pay attention to anything else. The principles in this novel are firmly based on Protestant Christianity, although the novel rarely makes explicit reference to the Bible or even to God. However, the novel makes an attempt to depict these principles as universal, so that disagreement with small details of doctrine doesn't get in the way of learning ethical lessons. Morality here is also connected with hard work, self-improvement, and the resourceful American spirit.
Although the March family is strongly Christian, most of their principles are general and have broad appeal to readers of many different backgrounds.
Jo's struggle to behave ethically in all circumstances helps readers sympathize with her.

Ronin Main Engineering
Located on Deck 14, Main Engineering is the thriving heart of any vessel in space. It has access to almost all systems aboard the starship, and manages repairs, power flow, and general maintenance. It supplies all systems with power and monitors everything that has a blinking light through the system displays. If something goes wrong, an Engineer will have noticed. It is arguably the most important area of the ship though not the most remembered.
There are numerous ladders and access panels to Jefferies tubes, leading throughout the starship . The Ronin has a decent compliment of special access routes into Engineering to take into account. This is perhaps one of the reasons why Engineers never seem to leave the drive room.
The Ronin’s engines are the same M/ARA system that works on each of the Federation’s vessels. Apart from the standard Warp Propulsion systems, the Ronin is in essence a war ship and is equipped as such to outlast in near impossible conditions. As such, the warp drive of the Ronin can survive on ‘fumes’ for a short time while the crew are able to evacuate. For the same reason, the Ronin was also equipped with twin Warp Cores to provide maximum power to the weapons. However, full details on the systems are provided in the Academy Engineering Systems section.
Although the section isn’t exactly what it says on the tin, some of the Engineers on the Ronin have at some point been involved in technology research at Utopia Planitia. Using the resources and multiple opinions available to them, the Engineers on board are able to carry on research into a wide variety of deep space systems, including advancements in the LCARS system and an experimental EEH (Emergency Engineering Hologram).
Continued research into these systems has not had a direct benefit on the Ronin as of yet. No advancements have been made as much of the research hasn’t left the library. However, they’re forever hopeful.
Typical crew compliment in Main Engineering consists of twenty engineers and forty technicians of various grades. During Red or Yellow Alert, that number is increased. Perhaps a single fact about the Ronin is the senior ‘team’ they have, unlike other departments. Due to Engineering being such a vast department, it seemed necessary to have subsection departmental heads, working effectively. It hasn’t failed yet.
The current Chief Engineer is Lieutenant Tobias Walker

In Depth: China’s Great Ambition in Greater Bay Area
The Pearl River Delta has been a shining example of China’s economic success over the past four decades of reform and opening-up. Now, leaders want the region to continue to glow with an ambitious plan to make it even bigger and stronger.
A central government plan to develop China’s Greater Bay Area is set to be released as early as the end of May. The plan will transform the Pearl River Delta into a world-class city cluster by integrating neighboring Hong Kong and Macau — the two special administrative regions that were colonies of Britain and Portugal respectively until two decades ago.
Last week, Vice Premier Han Zheng, who is in charge of the region’s development as well as Hong Kong and Macau affairs, told reporters that the bay area development strategy has been “personally planned, mapped out and promoted” by President Xi Jinping, underscoring the importance to the project.
The Pearl River Delta region is crucial to China’s economy. The triangle of land on China’s southern fringe has been the nation’s most dynamic economic center, evolving from the world’s factory floor to a rising high-tech hub. Consisting of nine cities in Guangdong province, notably Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the region accounts for less than 1% of China’s territory and 4% of its population but generates nearly 10% of national gross domestic product (GDP).
With a population of 58 million — greater than those of Canada or Australia — the Pearl River Delta region in 2015 was named the world’s biggest megacity by the World Bank, surpassing Tokyo. Fan Gang, director of China Development Institute, in April predicted that by 2050, population in the Greater Bay Area will roughly double to 120 million to 140 million.
The central government envisages even greater potential for the region. During this year’s national legislative session in March, Beijing unveiled a strategy to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area to enhance connectivity, capital and talent flow and expand regional cooperation and growth.
By combining Hong Kong’s financial strength with Macau’s advanced services, analysts said, the initiative will create a massive city cluster with a GDP exceeding $4.62 trillion by 2030, rivaling famous bay areas in Tokyo, New York and San Francisco.
Waiting for the road map from the central government, local officials have begun preparations as the market heats up.
Officials of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau sought closer regional cooperation as early as 2009. That year, the three authorities jointly released a research report proposing greater economic coordination across the region.
But it wasn’t until 2015 that the idea of a Greater Bay Area started appearing in central government documents. The country’s 13th Five-Year Plan, released in early 2016 and running through 2020, pledged efforts to promote Greater Bay Area cooperation.
The idea drew broader attention in 2017 when it was written into the annual government work report delivered by Premier Li Keqiang to the congress. In July, the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau signed a framework agreement to develop the Greater Bay Area.
“The Greater Bay Area is a natural result after 40 years reform and economic cooperation between Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland,” said Chen Guanghan, an economics professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou.
Cities in the region have established their own unique strengths. Hong Kong is known as a global financial hub, Macau is advanced in entertainment and tourism, while Guangzhou and Shenzhen both aim to expand the services and high-tech sectors. Other cities in the region are focused on advanced manufacturing, according to a report by Citic Securities.
“The essence of the Greater Bay Area (initiative) is to complement the strengths of different cities,” said Ji Yanxun, China research head of real estate consultancy Knight Frank LLP. “It is crucial to work out a regional plan that can boost economic activities and mobility of people.”
Guo Wanda, deputy director of Chinese Association of Hong Kong & Macao Studies, warned that the regional development plan should provide a balanced strategy to allow different cities to thrive rather than concentrating resources on selected cities by administrative orders.
Economic integration will be supported by physical interconnection. Massive infrastructure projects to enhance regional connectivity are already underway. The iconic project is the 55-kilometer (34-mile) Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, the world’s longest road bridge, that is set to be open this year. The new bridge will halve the travel time between Hong Kong and Zhuhai.
A 140-kilometer high-speed rail line linking Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong is also expected to start operation this year. It will shorten travel time between Guangzhou and Hong Kong to 48 minutes from the current two hours.
The new bridge and railway line will enhance mobility between cities in the bay area, potentially relieving some of Hong Kong’s land shortage problems by allowing more Hong Kong workers who can’t afford the city’s pricey housing to live outside the city and commute, according to a recent report by UBS
Connectivity projects under construction also include tunnels, ferry lines and highway networks. In May 2017, the Guangdong government proposed 1.46 trillion yuan of transportation projects. Property services company DTZ predicted that by 2020, intercity railway lines in the bay area will expand from the current 3,200 kilometers to 4,400 kilometers, while highways will double to 8,800 kilometers.
But there are challenges beyond the physical integration. The bay area involves the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, where different systems and customs rules apply, posing hurdles to the mobility of people and goods. Guangdong Governor Ma Xingrui said in April at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference that the provincial government was drafting plans to deal with the issues to streamline integration of the bay area, such as issuing special permits for workers and vehicles to cross the borders.
Although the key development plan is still pending, investors are already going after opportunities in the bay area, pushing up the property market.
“Zhuhai’s property market has attract many (speculative) investors,” said an investment bank analyst. The city’s land prices have surged as more than 50 developers have flooded into the city, said another source from a Zhuhai-based property company.
Housing prices in most cities in the bay area jumped more than 50% between 2015 and 2017 as the Greater Bay Area initiative took shape and infrastructure construction began, according to local government statistics. The price increases have spurred authorities in cities like Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Zhongshan to impose measures to rein in speculative deals.
But analysts said the impetus behind soaring housing prices remains, especially in bigger cities as demand grows with economic expansion. To serve local development, authorities in the bay area have stepped up efforts to attract talent to the local labor force.
“Property prices will naturally rise in places where people flow in and the economy grows,” said Xiao Mingzhi, chief analyst at developer Logan Group.
A 2016 Shenzhen government report estimated that between 2016 and 2020, the city will have demand for 1.8 million new homes while newly built apartments will total only 650,000 during the period.
Xiao said the growing demand will test the governments’ ability to use market-oriented measures to guide the housing market. Simply imposing restrictions will only increase risks, Xiao said.

Recently I stumbled across a piece by the German artist Josephine Meckseper entitled "Afrikan Spir." Spir was an obsure Russian Neo-Kantian philosopher, who I've argued was an important influence on Nietzsche. I thought that no one outside a small circle of Nietzsche scholars knew about him at all. Why she chose to name the piece after him is a mystery.
This is for those interested in Nietzsche only, but I just posted a paper on SSRN, which is ultimately coming out in the Journal of Nietzsche Studies. In it I respond to criticism of my reading of Afrikan Spir that Nadeem Hussain offered in a number of pieces eight years ago. Yes, eight years ago. Things move slowly in philosophy, especially for me. The title is Was Afrikan Spir a Phenomenalist (and What Difference Does It Make for Understanding Nietzsche)? (I know, too long.)
For those wondering why I was in Brazil for over a week, this is the site for the conference.

Anti-Left forces killing its workers: Forward Bloc
New Delhi: The All India Forward Bloc, the second largest constituent in the ruling Left Front in West Bengal, Monday alleged that "anti-Left forces", including the Trinamool Congress, were using the Maoists to kill their activists.
Condemning the killing of three party activists by Maoists in West Bengal`s Purulia district Sunday night, Forward Bloc general secretary Debabrata Biswas said the people of West Bengal would "defeat the unholy nexus" between the Maoists and other anti-Left forces.
"This is not only the Trinamool Congress...all the anti-Left forces in the state use the armed Maoists to attack the Left leaders. Their aim is to terrorise the people. They want all the Left activists to be neutralised before the assembly polls. This is the old method," Biswas said over telephone from Kolkata.
Around 40-50 armed Maoists shot dead three Forward Bloc activists in Purulia district`s Pardi village late Sunday.
"We have lost seven workers in Maoist attack this year. Our workers are targeted as we are the second largest constituent in the Left Front," Biswas said, adding that the party would organise meetings across Purulia to protest the killings.
He said the people who were killed in the attack belong to tribal Majhi community.
Maoist posters claiming responsibility for the killings were found at the site, stating that all the Forward Bloc leaders were corrupt and were leading an anti-Maoist movement in the region.
Maoists are active in three western districts of the state - West Midnapore, Purulia and Bankura.
