The Beswick Pottery in Loughton, Stoke-on-Trent was founded in 1894 by John Beswick and his father James Wright Beswick, producing domestic bone china and earthenware. In the 1930s it expanded into making animal figures and some time later came the famous Beatrix Potter figurines.
In 1948, Beswick launched the Beatrix Potter range following a suggestion from Lucy Beswick, wife of the chairman and managing director.
Mrs Beswick was from Cumbria and returned many times to the Lake District to holiday. It was during one of these holidays, which included a trip to Hill Top Farm, Beatrix Potter's home, that the idea is said to have come to her.
So, Arthur Gredington, chief modeller, set about creating a model of Jemima Puddle-Duck, with great care being taken to be as true to the original illustrations as possible. The model of Jemima was quickly approved by Mr Beswick and the other directors and copyright was sought and successfully obtained from Frederick Warne & Co, publishers of the Beatrix Potter books.
Jemima Puddle-Duck formed the first piece in the original ten character collection launched in 1948. The other characters in the series were Tom Kitten, Timmy Tiptoes, Squirrel Nutkin, Mrs Tittlemouse, Little Pig Robinson, Benjamin Bunny, Samuel Whiskers, Mrs Tiggywinkle and of course, Peter Rabbit!
The collection was incredibly popular and still is today. Beswick was bought out by Royal Doulton in 1969 but the Beswick backstamp was in use until 1989 when it was replaced by the Royal Albert backstamp. Despite a change in ownership, Potter figures continued to be made and by 1977 all her characters had been captured in clay.

We are mostly known in the Pacific Northwest for our residential cabinetry, so it is fun for us to showcase a recent project in Bellingham's latest hip coffee stop, Camber Coffee.
The owners of Camber had a specific aesthetic in mind when design started. The cafe had to be able to transition from welcoming coffeehouse to cultivated bar, selling carefully curated wine and beer. This all required a streamlined layout, highly functional back of house and carefully selected finishes that patina well with use and age. We worked hand in hand with [bundle] design studio and Spiral Design Studio on design, resulting in a stunning, highly functional space.
Our crew enjoyed the challenge of this tenant improvement project. We were able to utilize existing building features such as the radiator, exposed timbers, and existing windows, all of which took some 'polishing.' We knew that the robustness of materials and design would be tested, so we opted for hardy, authentic materials. We also understood that time was of the essence, and worked diligently to meet the owners timeline.
Working on tenant improvement projects like Camber allows us to do two things we love: build community and renovate functional, beautiful spaces. And, as foodies, when those projects are restaurants we're really on Cloud 9! Check out Camber next time you're downtown.
Here's a review from Sprudge about the Camber experience. Enjoy!


Looking for an intriguing place to study? Look no further than New York! One of the earliest US colonies, New York was originally known as New Amsterdam by the Dutch before English settlers renamed the area. With a culture rich in history, as well as people, interests, and flavor, studying abroad in New York is a fantastic choice for your scholarly aspirations.
Found in the Mid-Atlantic area below Canada and above New Jersey and Pennsylvania, New York is alternately known as the "Empire State" or the "Big Apple." New York's capital city is Albany, though New York City is the largest city in the state. And though "New York, New York's" urban sprawl may come to mind, much of the area is dominated by farmland, forests, mountains, and bodies of water.
Dairying is the most important farming activity, with over 18,000 cattle farms, though other agricultural products include vegetables and apples. Other industries of note? Printing and publishing, machinery, and tourism (hello, New York City).
On average, the warmest month in New York is July, whereas the coldest is January, with cities like Binghamton and Rochester incurring typically cooler temps during the year than New York City (due to urbanization).
Though studying abroad in New York you may expect to speak just English, many of the state's inhabitants speak a second language, with Spanish, Chinese, and Russian being the subsequent languages of choice (in that order).
As of October 2013, prices in New York remain at the high end of comparative expenses in the United States. While studying abroad in New York, you can expect the (approximate) price of items like rent in the city to be around USD$2,825, an inexpensive meal to be USD$15, and the price of milk to be USD$1.32. Getting around isn't pricey, though: 1 kilometer by taxi is USD$1.24.
New York City most certainly gets the most attention with its Broadway shows, museums, and other hot spots like Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty. Despite the bright lights and grandeur, other cities dotted around the state are equally as fascinating, perhaps for other, perhaps dissimilar, attractions.
With over 700 miles of subway, and 70,000 miles of rivers and streams, it's an understatement to say New York stays well-connected. Despite that, it's possible to remove yourself from the hustle and bustle of larger cities: for example, Adirondack Park, larger than Glacier, Grand Canyon, Olympic, Yellowstone, and Yosemite Parks combined, is a draw to visitors of upstate New York and offers scenic hiking trails, stunning views, and even shopping, markets, and fall festivals. Other items to top your must-see list? Niagara Falls in upstate New York, the Catskills for skiing or golf, the Finger Lakes area for eclectic wineries, and Cooperstown for the Baseball Hall of Fall.
Baseball? Various teams, like the Yankees and Mets for baseball, the Giants and Jets for football, and the Knicks for basketball, make New York a popular place for sports buffs.
Some food items New York may be better known for include "New York-style" bagels, pizza, hot dogs, and bay scallops. Lesser known items that may tempt your palate during your study abroad tenure? Salt potatoes from Syracuse, Coney Island (hot) dogs, duck in Long Island, chicken wings from Buffalo, and potato chips from Saratoga Springs.

Experimental study of the diffusion-controlled acid degradation of Class H Portland cement
Edward N. Matteo, George W. Scherer
The rate of acid corrosion of Class H Portland cement was measured using time-lapse video over a range of temperature (T=30-80°C) and pH (0-3.7), both for hydrochloric acid and carbonic acid. The process was found to be diffusion-controlled, and the dependence of the slope, S, of corrosion depth vs square root of time was obtained as a function of T and pH. The slope decreases by about a factor of 3, if the leachate is allowed to accumulate on the corroded surface; however, a flow rate as low as 4cm/h is sufficient to flush the surface and establish an equilibrium rate. With or without accumulation of leachate, the cumulative cation mass loss is proportional to the depth of leaching, indicating that the phases extracted are very similar in both cases. The corrosion rate between 30 and 80°C is characterized by an activation energy of 39.6kJ/mol and a power-law dependence on acid concentration, S~[H +] 0.35. The resulting equation describes the present results, and agrees within a factor of 2 with rates reported in the literature by other workers. On the basis of this equation, estimates are provided of the leakage rates from a reservoir that is sealed with a sound plug of cement (where escape of the acid would take millions of years) or where an annular gap extends through the caprock. In the latter case, corrosion in small annuli (≤10μm diameter) is predicted to be concentrated near the bottom (i.e., near the reservoir-caprock boundary), so that penetration of acid into the overlying formation will take centuries.

I am off to a leaving party tonight in some swanky bar. I know that I shall drink too much and shall spoil the entire weekend for myself now. Unfortunately, I also know that there is nothing that I am going to do about it and so I will have to live with that. I think it's an age thing. They always said you would increasingly become aware of own limits as your get old and I know mine. I also know that I am worse-than-awful at stopping when I have hit my limits – weather that's drinking, staying awake etc. A weekend in a haze is predicted. On the upside, today has been a lovely, normal working day without too much stress and, for once, it looks like I am about to leave on time. Maybe that's a good sign.

Florida State football coaches send 'thoughts and prayers' to University of Virginia
Ehsan Kassim
As Florida State football turns its focus this week for its game against Louisiana at noon Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium, the football game was not the only thing on the minds of head coach Mike Norvell and his staff Monday.
At the weekly press conference for Norvell and his coordinators, each took time to send thoughts and prayers to Charlottesville, Va., and the University of Virginia.
The community is mourning after three members of the football team were killed in a shooting Sunday night.

Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr., and D'Sean Perry were the three victims who were killed Sunday. All three were junior football players for the Cavaliers.
Chandler was a wide receiver from Huntersville, N.C., while Davis, a wide receiver, is from Dorchester, S.C. The third victim, the linebacker Perry, is from Miami.
The alleged suspect in the shooting, who police identified as former Virginia walk-on football player Christopher Darnell Jones Jr, was taken into custody.

Here is what the FSU coaches had to say about it during their press conferences Monday.
Head coach Mike Norvell
"Just want to start off today with the news of what happened up at the University of Virginia. Our thoughts and prayers are with that whole community, (Virginia) coach (Tony) Elliott and that football program, and our hearts go out to the lives and families that have been tragically affected.
"Just a terrible event that has occurred. Just want to express our remorse for the families and for the whole community there at Virginia."
Offensive coordinator Alex Atkins
"First thing I want to do is offer prayers and condolences for what is going on at the University of Virginia. It's a sad deal and a reminder of how precious life is. There's no words that can provide any sort of comfort or help. But just acknowledge we're praying for those families and everyone involved in that situation."
Defensive coordinator Adam Fuller
"Before we get started, I want to send our thoughts and prayers to the UVA community, families and friends of the victims. I think all of our hearts are heavy today."
Special teams coordinator John Papuchis
"Just before we get started I wanted to share my thoughts and prayers down with everybody in Virginia with what their program and university are going through. It's super tragic as a parent, as a coach. You never want to hear anything like that. Thoughts are with this as we move into the week."

Lapa è un comune del Brasile nello Stato del Paraná, parte della mesoregione Metropolitana de Curitiba e della microregione di Lapa. È situata ad una distanza di  dalla capitale dello Stato, Curitiba.

La città venne fondata il 13 giugno 1769 e si trova a 62 km dalla capitale dello Stato Curitiba.

La sua popolazione, secondo il censimento della popolazione del 2010, è di  abitanti anche se, secondo le stime del 2018, ammonta  abitanti.

Lo sfruttamento e la coltivazione della Ilex paraguariensis, dalla quale si ricava il mate, fa parte delle attività economiche storiche. Attualmente, nonostante sia un comune con attività economiche diversificate, grazie al suo passato storico e alla bellezza del suo patrimonio storico e culturale, è meta di turisti. Il suo primo nome fu quello di "parrocchia di Santo Antônio da Lapa", sotto la giurisdizione della città di Curitiba. Nel 1806, a causa della sua rapida crescita prese il nome di "Vila Nova do Príncipe". Dopo alcuni cambiamenti giurisdizionali, infine, il 7 marzo 1872, Vila Nova do Príncipe, fu smembrata da Vila Rio Negro ed elevata allo status di città con il nome di Lapa.

Gli abitanti di Lapa sono noti come lapeani.

Sito particolarmente degno di nota è la famosa grotta del monaco.

Le attività commerciali sussistono con difficoltà a causa dell'incipienza del settore secondario e sono prive di nuovi investimenti per la creazione di posti di lavoro e reddito. Lapa è una città tranquilla. Ha una buone infrastrutture igienico-sanitarie, scolastiche (anche superiori), per i trasporti, per la salute e per il tempo libero.

Il comune è noto storicamente per il famoso assedio di Lapa. Nel 1894, ci fu un sanguinoso scontro che contrappose i pica-paus ai maragati. I secondo erano contrari alla dipendenza del Rio Grande do Sul come unità federativa all'interno del Brasile. Durante l'assedio cadde in combattimento il generale Ernesto Gomes Carneiro.

Origini del nome
Lapa è un nome femminile derivante dalla parola pre-celtica "lappa". Essa si riferiva a una grande pietra o lastra che forma un riparo.

Storia
Nel 1731 fu istituito lo sbarco di Capão Alto, prima denominazione di quella che è oggi la città di Lapa. La prima famiglia a stabilirsi a Capão Alto fu quella João Pereira e sua di moglie Josefa Gonçalves da Silva di Braga. Il 13 luglio 1797 Capão Alto venne elevata alla categoria di parrocchia. Il 6 giugno 1806 Capão Alto fu ribattezzata Vila Nova do Príncipe.

Lapa, ex distretto e villaggio con la denominazione di Vila Nova do Príncipe, fu elevata allo status di città con il nome di Lapa dalla legge statale nº 293 del 7 marzo 1872.

Assedio di Lapa
Durante la Rivoluzione federalista del 1894, Lapa divenne l'arena di un sanguinoso confronto tra le truppe repubblicane, i cosiddetti picchi, e gli oppositori alla repubblica, i cosiddetti maragatos. Lapa resistette coraggiosamente fino a quando i lapeani guidati dal generale Ernesto Gomes Carneiro caddero in combattimento. Resistettero all'assedio per 26 giorni ma alla fine cedettero di fronte al più numeroso Esercito repubblicano.

L'episodio divenne noto come "assedio di Lapa", e diede al maresciallo Floriano Peixoto, capo della repubblica, il tempo sufficiente per riunire le forze e detenere le truppe federaliste. In tutto c'erano 639 uomini tra forze regolari e volontari civili, che combattevano contro le forze rivoluzionarie di 3000 combattenti. I resti del generale Carneiro, così come molti altri caduti durante la resistenza, sono sepolti nel Pantheon degli Eroi, permanentemente custoditi da una guardia d'onore dell'Esercito Brasiliano.

Economia
Lapa ha clima e un suolo adatti alla coltivazione di vari prodotti agricoli che favoriscono l'economia del comune. Soia, mais, fagioli, patate, e piante da frutto sono alcune delle colture praticate. Sono presenti anche aziende che praticano l'agricoltura biologica che si sta sviluppando ed espandendo nel mercato.

Attualmente è parte di una delle più grandi aree di produzione di frutta con nocciolo del Paraná. Pesche, prugne e nettarine vengono vendute alle aziende che producono dolci, succhi, gelatine e prodotti affini.

Anche il bestiame svolge un ruolo importante nell'economia di Lapa. Il Núcleo Leiteiro noto come Progetto di insediamento, che dal 1991 è chiamato "la riforma agraria che ha funzionato" è un centro nella produzione di latte. Tutta la produzione, oltre ad aiutare a rifornire Curitiba e la regione metropolitana, serve le cooperative lattiero-casearie che producono formaggi, yogurt e bevande a base di latte.

L'industria del pollame è in espansione e i suoi prodotti sono distribuiti in Brasile ed esportati in molti paesi.

Diversi progetti sono già stati installati, tra gli altri: Naturalat, Café da Lapa e Mega Placas.

Lapa si trova a 64 chilometri da Curitiba e a 160 chilometri dal porto di Paranaguá. L'autostrada BR-476, che attraversa la città, è stata recentemente rilevata da un concessionario ed è la principale rotta del Mercosur. Essa collega le regioni sud-occidentali di Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul e altri paesi sudamericani.

In passato erano attive anche due cave ma entrambe sono attualmente disabilitate.

Sometimes I need to force (in the audit table) an update on a field (new revision: new date and boolean at true for this field) while this field has not changed.
Is it possible by default with Envers?
If not, can I extend the mechanism?

A: It's not possible with Envers and I don't think there are any extension points which would allow that. The fields are compared using .equals().

By CONNIE KOENENN Personal Rain Saver: Rain won't go to waste with the pro-planet saver...BD: TIMES STAFF WRITER
March 19, 1996 12 AM PT
It's such a nuisance to keep moving the footstool when you're trying to dust a row of high shelves. Wouldn't it be handy to have a pair of step-sandals, with tripods attached, like little stepladders on your feet to stomp around on?
That's the paradoxical philosophy behind Chindogu, an emerging art form that has captivated Japan and is advancing on the United States. It is a tribute, sometimes silly, sometimes brilliant, to all the inventions that are aimed at simplifying our lives--but don't quite make it.
"The literal translation is 'demented tool,' " says journalist Dan Papia, who is introducing the concept in the United States.
Known as the art of the "unuseless idea," Chindogu was founded several years ago in Tokyo by inventor-visionary Kenji Kawakami, who has published four Chindogu books. His fast-growing International Chindogu Society has already attracted 10,000 members who have eagerly contributed their own ideas for tools that look as if they could make your everyday life more convenient but always fail the test.
Such as? The "earring safety-net cups" that strap on each shoulder and catch an earring if you lose it; a spoon with a telescopic handle that expands to reach the bottom of a deep jar; the toothbrush with bristles on both sides so you can brush upper and lower teeth simultaneously; and the tiny training wheels on high heels for teenage girls who are just learning.
"It can be seen as a parody of a consumer-driven society," says Papia, an Angeleno who met Kawakami in Tokyo, became his collaborator and now has translated "101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions" into English.
Published in December, the book sold out so fast it is being relaunched in April, says Jenny Dworkin, a publicist at W. W. Norton & Co. She believes the Chindogu concept appeals to our innate ingenuity. "We've all had an idea about something that would make life easier, then thought 'Oh, that's too silly.' This book encourages us to hold onto those ideas."
Because the art of the "unuseless" is easily misinterpreted, Kawakami has drawn up 10 tenets governing Chindogu, including rules that the invention must truly exist but cannot be patented and is not for sale.
Papia is accepting membership applications (no fee, but include a G-class stamp) at 18433 Hatteras St., Suite 507, Tarzana, CA 91356.
"Anyone who submits one Chindogu is a member, whether we use it in a book or not," says Papia, who requests that an illustration be included. One woman, he recalls, had invented an extra sink in the bathroom that he'd envisioned the usual way--side by side. But when she sent a picture, it revealed that the second sink must be strapped onto the back of the person using the first sink. Exquisite Chindogu.

Dai Prefecture, also known by its Chinese name Daizhou, was a prefecture (zhou) of imperial China in what is now northern Shanxi. It existed intermittently from AD585 to 1912. Its eponymous seat Daizhou was located at Shangguan in Dai County. The territory it administered included all or part of what are now the counties of Dai, Wutai, Fanshi, and Yuanping in Shanxi's Xinzhou Prefecture.

Name

Dàizhōu is the pinyin form of the Standard Mandarin reading of the Chinese placename . In the system of romanization devised by Thomas Wade and systematized by Herbert Giles, the same pronunciation is written Tai Prefecture, Tai Chou, or Tai-chou. It appeared as Taichow or TaichowSha on the Chinese Postal Map. Although "prefecture" only refers to an administrative office or area in English, the Chinese name can refer to either the prefecture or to the prefectural seat at old or new Guangwu. The prefectural seat was also known for a time as Yanmen. During periods when the prefecture was demoted to county status, its seat was also known as Daixian.

Daizhou was named after Dai Commandery, which was abolished around the time of its formation, even though Guangwu County, in which Daizhou is located, had not been part of it. The commandery in turn had been named after the former capital of the Baidi Kingdom of Dai, whose name represented a transcription of the native name using the Chinese character , which is pronounced dài in present-day Mandarin but had probably sounded like  in Old Chinese. That city had been in Hebei's Yu County, but it was used for a series of petty states and appanages during the Warring States, Eighteen Kingdoms, and Han which spread the name into Shanxi's Yanmen and Yunzhong Commanderies. This confusion sometimes caused some medieval writers to erroneously conflate locations in Dai Prefecture (like Mount Wutai) with places from the ancient stories concerning the Zhao conquest of the first Dai Kingdom.

History

Dai Prefecture was created by renaming and reorganizing the earlier Si Prefecture in Yanmen Commandery. This occurred in AD585 under the Wen Emperor of Sui. Its seat was at present-day Daixian, which was known as Guangwu until 598 and then as Yanmen when its surrounding county was renamed due to the Chinese naming taboo. It was abolished and merged with Yanmen Commandery .

Dai Prefecture was reëstablished by the Tang in 618, abolished and merged with Yanmen Commandery again in 742, and reëstablished a second time a few years later in 758. Under the Tang, it formed part of Hedong Circuit. During this period, the seat at Daizhou administered a prefecture covering what are now the counties of Dai, Wutai, Fanshi, and Yuanping.

Under the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming, it was demoted to a county for six years beginning in 1369.

Under the Qing, Dai was removed from the authority of Taiyuan Prefecture and made a directly-administered prefecture in 1724 or 1728. Following the Xinhai Revolution, it was converted into various counties in the Republic of China.

What's in a name
At the restaurant, LaTaberna de Lucia, by the marina in Santa Pola the fish of the day is on display in a chilled cabinet from which you can choose. When we visited in June they had a fish with the distinctive "thumbprint" which suggested it could be John Dory which I knew in Spanish as Pez de San Pedro.
The waiter said it was Gallo, which I found strange and confusing as I knew gallo as Megrim sole and this was not any kind of sole; although flatish, it was not a 'flatfish". The sharp spiny dorsal fin should have confirmed my suspicion that this was John Dory. I questioned the waiter further, testing my shaky Spanish vocabulary and his "poco" English and he said "chicken fish" which seemed logical as gallo is cockerel in Spanish, but I remained confused.
I resigned myself to solving the problem when we got home and settled down to eat but the fish, which had been deep fried as thin steaks plus the spiny appendages, served on a bed of potatoes with aubergine topped with two fried Quail eggs (which I thought an unnecessary addition!)
It looked and tasted like John Dory and was absolutely delicious. Other views of this restaurant can be found on Trip Adviser
Back home, however, Alan Davidson came to the rescue (eventually). I looked in the index of "Mediterranean Seafood" and "gallo" was listed as Whiff, Sail-fluke or Megrim Sole as I had thought. Looking at the section on John Dory, however, Davidson gave the Catalan name as Gall and although the usual name in Spanish is San Pedro and in French is Saint-Pierre, he gave an alternative French name, Poule de mer (sea chicken). Davidson's "Tio Pepe guide to the seafood of Spain and Portugal" was more forthcoming. Gallo in the index referred to the entries for both John Dory and megrim sole. Gallo appears to be the name for megrim sole but gall or gallo is the Catalan name for John Dory. The local language in the Santa Pola area is Valencian which is very similar to Catalan.
I also have a rather ancient book (1957) "Spanish Cooking" by Elizabeth Cass (originally published by Andre Deutsch but reprinted in 1968 for The Cookery Book Club, which gives the name gallo as well as San Pedro for John Dory. Dr Cass describes gallo as the name used in Andalusia. Just to add confusion she gives Gallina del Mar (hen of the sea) as an alternative name for Gurnard but confirms that the widely used term gallo is a member of the sole family i.e. megrim. Another fish, with a similar name, gallineta, is mentioned which she describes as a variety of rockfish related to rascasio (scorpion fish). Davidson's Tio Pepe guide confirms that gallineta, (gallineta rosada in full) is the French rascasse rose or slender rocklfish in English.
Leaving aside confusion over names, the long and the short of it is that John Dory is delicious and widely available in both Spain and the UK and I can't wait to try my hand at cooking it. Unfortunately, John Dory has a lot of spines and waste so a reasonably sized specimen yields little flesh and when I looked in my local fishmonger in Hove last week, John Dory was £17 per kilo and one fish weighing just over a kilo would have produced only two fillets, albeit of a generous size, so I am waiting to see it on sale in UK at a much lower price or waiting till I return to Spain. In the meantime I would welcome any suggestions for recipes.

A New Bipartisan Bill Could Clear the Way for CBD Supplements
Cannabis stocks soared on a potential solution to U.S. regulatory issues.
Jim Crumly
(TMFSpeyside)
Jim bought his first stocks in 1967 with paper route money and has been invested in equities ever since. He's still learning, though, and enjoys studying and investing in a wide variety of businesses. He has a BS and MS in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and retired after 34 years with a large technology company.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday that would give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) flexibility to allow hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) to be sold as a dietary supplement, boosting shares of cannabis stocks such as Charlotte's Web Holdings (OTC:CWBHF), which was up 18% today on the news.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson, D-Minn., filed the bill amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C), and it is co-sponsored by James Comer, R-Ky.; Chellie Pingree, D-Maine; and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
Peterson said in a press release, "This bill will allow FDA to regulate CBD that comes from hemp as a dietary supplement, providing a pathway forward for hemp-derived products." The bill would also require the Department of Agriculture to produce a report on the regulatory and market barriers faced by hemp farmers.
The FDA threw cold water on the CBD industry in November when it issued a warning to consumers and CBD producers saying that it was illegal to market CBD by labeling it as a dietary supplement. Although the agency cited "many unanswered questions" about the safety of CBD, the real issue was a provision of the FD&C that prohibits an active ingredient of an approved drug to be sold as a dietary supplement. Ironically, the FDA implicitly outlawed CBD as a supplement when it approved the CBD drug Epidiolex from GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GWPH) as safe and effective.
Cannabis investors, and no doubt hemp farmers, were cheering the possibility that regulatory barriers for the CBD market could be removed by congressional action.

Home prices in S'pore to grow by up to 7% in 2023 – URA reacts, boosting land supply by 17%
Disclaimer: Opinions expressed below belong solely to the author.
Despite property market cooling measures and rising interest rates, demand for homes in Singapore shows no signs of abating, even if a slight slowdown in the pace of inflation can already observed.
In 2021, year-on-year prices of apartments in Singapore went up by 12.5 per cent for resale HDB homes and 10.6 per cent in the private market. Projections for 2022 (as we still have a couple of weeks to go), place it at nine to 10 per cent on top of that, for both segments.
But if you were hoping this may finally come to an end, then I have some bad news, as an abrupt halt to inflationary trends doesn't seem to be on the cards.
Prices for private homes are still expected to go up by another seven per cent in 2023 (as reported earlier a few weeks ago by Bloomberg) and given the market conditions, HDB is unlikely to be far behind either.
Source: Urban Redevelopment Authority
While both markets are largely separated, they tend to show correlation and both have surged to their historic highs following the post-pandemic rally.
Can the government do anything to cool the market?
While the authorities have enacted several property cooling measures, hoping to stop housing inflation, realistically speaking, there's little it can do to achieve it other than boosting supply significantly — and even in this case, a lot of time has to pass before effects can be seen.
First of all, it doesn't really matter how many hurdles are raised to dampen demand. The truth is that people need and want homes, and we can see this in the regularly oversubscribed Build-To-Order (BTO) launches.
Since not everybody is lucky enough to eventually land his new home this way, people turn to resale market, since even a costlier apartment is clearly better than no apartment for at least a few years into the future (which you still have to wait for a new apartment anyway even if you got your BTO).
Wealthier investors are back to buying private apartments as rents soared, given the sudden return of tens of thousands of expats who left during the pandemic. Some have reported getting their renewal rents increased by up to 70 per cent, as reported by Channel NewsAsia, with frenzy pushing desperate people to deposit money even before viewing an apartment.

Another expat CNA spoke to, who wanted to be known as Alex, said that tenants like herself are now forced to overbid on places they want and cannot negotiate any terms with landlords or agents, unlike in the past.
"Everyone is just panicking … People transfer deposits without visiting the place," added the Frenchwoman, who currently rents a one-bedroom condominium unit in Redhill with her fellow expat boyfriend for S$2,300 a month.
She said she would have opted to extend her two-year lease, which is up in January next year, if her landlord did not choose to almost double the rent to S$4,300.
Finally, last but not least, Singapore is seeing an influx of foreign home buyers from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, given the lengthy Covid-restrictions (which are only now thawing) and political uncertainty.
While transactions involving foreigners account only for about three per cent of all private market activity, they must have some influence on the prices, given different motivations of the buyers.
Not even the 2021 hike in additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) — which was boosted to a whopping 30 per cent of the price for foreigners — has really hurt demand, as people accept it as a fee for security of their wealth and, very often, their families as well.
URA to boost land supply in 2023
Earlier in December, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) announced the details of Government Land Sales Programme for the first half of next year, for a total of 7,715 private residential units, including 855 in Executive Condominiums.
More importantly, it added close to 600 units on the Confirmed List of projects (i.e. those which are sure to go on sale), up by close to 17 per cent from the 3,505 units in the second half of 2022, and 2,785 in the first half of 2022 (over 46 per cent year-on-year).
How does that affect you?
You may be wondering,"So what? I want my HDB. I'm not paying a few million for a condo; how does this help me?".
Well, for starters, as I said, the two markets may be separated, but they are correlated. The fewer HDBs there are, the higher the demand for private properties — if not by the same buyers, then at least due to rising demand for rentals (the next best thing you can do if you can't buy, after all).
Conversely, the larger the supply of private housing, the lower their prices and monthly rents, with pressure on public housing going down as well (as alternatives to HDB are a bit more accessible).
The only real way to stop prices from growing is to fulfil the pent up demand by raising supply. The challenge is, of course, how to do it quickly.
Fortunately, the pandemic-induced slowdown in construction is about to finally ease. Latest additions by the URA will bring the total number of units in the pipeline to 65,000, with over 33,000 to be completed in the coming two years.
This is very nearly three times as many as the 11,500 completed since 2021.
It's not likely to affect the prices next year, but as more of them are released to owners, the inflationary pressures on properties should weaken.
At the same time, however, the high interest rate environment is affecting not only buyers — now forced to pay more for their mortgages — but also developers, who find it more costly to finance their investments.
This is despite the fact that their stock of unsold units has melted to just a quarter of what it was before the pandemic.

Recession to the rescue?
Ironically, then, the best hope for a meaningful price drop — or at least a halt to inflation — can be found in an economic slowdown, which is also on the cards for 2023.
A reversal of interest rate hikes abroad would bring them down in Singapore as well, as the Monetary Authority of Singapore doesn't use them directly in its monetary policy (focusing instead on SGD exchange rates).
Cheaper money means lower risks to banks and, by extension, to developers, while also reducing the upward pressure on prices.
While seemingly going against the market logic, which would dictate that higher prices should incentivise higher supply, the combination of regulatory obligations, administrative costs, construction costs and borrowing expenses contribute to higher risks for developers, who by now must also be wondering where the end to this inflation is.
After all, nobody wants to buy high and sell low. And as long as this uncertainty persists, the market may not see a return to pre-pandemic levels.
