Jamaica gets 'strong' ratings from IMF, end-September targets met
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says Jamaica’s overall policy implementation of targets under the extended fund facility is strong.
The IMF has confirmed that all quantitative performance targets and indicative targets for end-September were met.
It further says all structural benchmarks to date have also been met in a timely manner, with the exception of the tabling of fiscal incentives legislation, which was subject to a minor delay.
The Fund recently concluded a performance review of Jamaica’s programme.
In a statement the IMF points out that economic activity is tentatively estimated to have expanded in the July to September quarter by about 0.9 per cent year-on-year, while consumer price inflation increased to 10.5 per cent in September.
It further says that the Net International Reserves have fluctuated around US$900 million in recent months, with gross reserves at US$1.7 billion by end-October 2013, which is equivalent to three months of import cover.
And the IMF says the execution of the 2013/14 budget has been broadly on track.
The Fund says looking ahead, the critical challenge will be to support economic growth, while continuing to undertake the necessary fiscal adjustment.
It cites the need for tax reform, pursuing strategic investments, improving competitiveness and the business climate and strengthening the social protection framework.
The IMF says its Management and Executive Board will consider the second review of Jamaica’s extending fund facility in late December.
It says if approved the country will receive a drawdown of about US$30 million.
The Ministry of Finance, in a statement, says the Government welcomes the conclusion of this round of discussions with the IMF and look forward to similarly favourable consideration by the Board.
The ministry says Jamaica intends to continue to build on the progress that has been made in reforming the country’s finances, and will endeavour to ensure that Jamaicans benefit from the gains in the economy.

House prices continued to rise in Scotland in the fourth quarter of last year taking them to their highest level since current records began in 2003.
The data from the Registers of Scotland shows that the average house price in Scotland was £165,197, an increase 3.4% on the same period in 2013.
The figures also show that the total value of sales across Scotland was up by 3.1% compared to the previous year to just under £4.2 billion.
Moray showed the highest percentage rise, with the value of sales increasing by 21.7% year on year. Edinburgh remained the largest market with sales of just over £656 million, an increase of 2.8%.
North Ayrshire recorded the highest percentage rise in average price compared with the same quarter of the previous year, up 17.1% to £124,260. Aberdeenshire had the highest average at £232,331, a rise of 5% while the largest percentage fall in price was in Falkirk, which showed a drop of 4.3% with an average price of £123,180.
However, the total volume of sales across Scotland fell by 0.3%, the first decrease in sales volumes since 2012.
Argyll and Bute showed the largest percentage rise in the number of sales with an increase of 18.2% and Edinburgh again recorded the highest sales volume but this was down 1.5% on the previous year. The largest percentage decrease was in Stirling, which showed a drop of 14.2%.
All property types, with the exception of detached properties, showed an increase in average house price in this quarter, the biggest being in semi-detached properties at 5.5%. With the exception of flats, all property types experienced a decrease in sales volumes, with detached properties recording the biggest decrease of 4.2% compared to the previous year.
Property consultancy, CKD Galbraith, said it saw a steady growth in sales throughout 2014 which is continuing into 2015. There was also a 23% increase in the number of viewings against 2013’s figures for the same period.
‘Prices achieved for all properties sold by the firm during 2014 were on average 1.54% over the asking price. The past three months have proved to be busy and productive with buyers hesitancy around the referendum period translating into a surge of activity and successful transactions during the final quarter of the year,’ said Simon Brown, partner and head of residential sales at CKD Galbraith.
‘The momentum has continued throughout January and we expect there to be more movement at the higher end of the market before the stamp duty changes occur in April. Although the general election is likely to cause a slight slowdown in activity, we can say that 2015 looks set to be a promising year for the property sector,’ he added.
Scotland’s property market can continue to take confidence from these latest results, according to Peter Grant, chief executive officer of Grant Property. ‘It’s notable that total volume of sales continues to be up and this is reflected by our own business activity,’ he said.
‘From a buying perspective, all of the cities in which we operate, including Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Stirling and Glasgow continue to be extremely competitive with closing dates and offers over being the norm,’ he explained.
He also added that prime rental locations in Edinburgh and Aberdeen are the most in demand and it’s not unusual for over 20 parties to be putting in an offer. In Aberdeen, the majority of properties are going to closing and achieving at least home report value.
From a rental perspective, the firm is seeing increases of between 5% and 15% across all cities. In Aberdeen pre-let properties are achieving at least 10% higher rent in 2015 than last year and the firm said there is also stable growth across both Stirling and Glasgow.

Turkish banks have passed stress test, top banker says
Turkey’s banks successfully passed their most important stress test in August and September of this year, said Melikşah Utku, head of Islamic bank Albaraka Türk.
“The system has now left its worst days behind and has strengthened as a result following a liquidity test during this period,” Utku said, according to local media including Dünya newspaper.
It wasn’t immediately clear what stress test Utku was referring to. Turkey’s lira has slumped against a basket of foreign currencies this year but has gained in value since hitting a record low in August, when concern had grown for a full-blown financial crisis in the country. The government has pledged to carry out a stress test of the industry, but results have yet to be announced.
Utku said he expected credit growth to slow in 2019 as firms avoid borrowing at high rates of interest. Net interest income and commission earnings of banks will rise at a slower pace as a result, he said. Utku also stated that non-performing loans would rise due to the weak cash flows of non-financial companies, Dünya reported.

Moray Coastal Trail 50 ultra debuts in style
Easier access to your trusted, local news. Subscribe to a digital package and support local news publishing.
A NEW Moray ultramarathon debuted in style after attracting a strong field of runners.
The Moray Coastal Trail 50 got under way at Grant Park in Forres and took runners on a route through Findhorn, Burghead, Hopeman Lossiemouth, Buckie, Spey Bay and Findochty before finishing in Cullen.
A strong field of 92 participants set off at 7pm in warm, sunny and breezy conditions on the 50-mile course.
First to cross the finish line was Jamie Pallister in a time of 6:51:45.9. The first female runner to take the tape was Charlotte Black in 7:17:44.6.
Race organiser Kyle Greig was left delighted with the way the race went.
He said: "The race went really well with around 100 runners.
"There were a few drop-outs, which is to be expected, but it was a strong field.
"It was a warm and breezy day, although the breeze acted as a tailwind.
"My biggest worry s race director was that people would overheat in the warm conditions but there weren't any real issues. There were plenty of aid stations along the route where runners could rehydrate and refuel.
"One of the main items mentioned in feedback was just how beautiful the course is, which is absolutely right – it's stunning."
The inaugural Moray Coastal Trail 50 forms part of a four-strong suite of races which includes the Speyside Way Race, Moray Way 100 Mile and the Dava Way 50km.
Greig continued: "After the Speyside Way Race last November, we wanted to grow the races which use the Moray Way, which is a recognised long-distance walk.
"We've now got the Speyside Way Race beginning in Ballindalloch and finishing in Buckie, the Dava Way 50km which starts in Grantown and the 100-miler, which takes in the whole of the Moray Way.
"It's been quite exciting to organise."
Greig added that this year's Speyside Way Race, scheduled to take place on August 28 Covid restrictions permitting, would actually offer runners two options – the usual 37-mile route plus a 100km one.
Full race category winners: Overall and Male Senior – Jamie Pallister 6:51:45.9; Female 40-49 – Charlotte Black 7:17:44.6; Female 50-59 – Paula Boon 8:55:06.9; Female Senior – Chloe Sangster 7:19:46.5; Male 40-49 – John Ryder 7:14:08.4; Male 50-59 – James Crozier 7:06:52.4; Male 60+ – Richard Stark 7:44:15.3.
After the Speyside Way Race, next up is the Moray Way 100 Mile, which is due to get under starter's orders on October 2.
Rounding off the series for 2021 the series is the Dava Way 50km on November 13.

In days gone by, yarn was obtained locally. It was usually hand-dyed, of high quality and unique. Things changed, and knitters bought branded yarns that were chemically dyed, of regular though unremarkable quality and were the same the world over. Thank heavens things are changing, and fast! Today, we are seeing the resurgence of unique and beautiful yarns. What follows is a tiny selection of what's now available.
No matter how long you've been knitting for there is always something new to learn or yarns that you have not yet tried. If you're looking for a yarn that's different you're spoiled for choice. And, you do not have to go to craft fairs, knitting workshops or join specialist knitting groups to get hold of these beautiful, traditionally made yarns. Many yarn suppliers and yarn stored now stock these unusual yarns and, thanks to the Internet, you can even buy these yarns online.
Filaro Yarn is an exciting yarn fiber from knitwear designer Anna Gratton. Anna runs a yarn boutique and mill from her farm in Waituna West on the north island of New Zealand. She's been raising her own stock of colored Corriedale sheep since 1976. Corriedales produce merino wool of truly exceptional quality and softness. The silky soft fleece is in the 27 – 30 micron range. Filaro Yarn also produced a funky fiber called 'Mohair Sparkle'. It is a wonderfully soft brushed mohair boucle yet with a strand of lurex glitter that shimmers and glimmers without any scratchiness; Just perfect for a complete knitted garment or for adding that something special to a garments edge.
Another anitpodean, Margaret Stove, is renowned as a fine spinner and designer who is generous in passing on her knowledge. She's been spinning her own yarn for over 25 years using only the finest materials. Margaret Stove Lace Yarn is a two-fold New Zealand merino wool, which is known the world over for its quality and softness. You can buy Margaret Stove lace yarn from many approved retailers. All Margaret Stove lace yarn is hand-dyed and are available in 900m and 300m skiens. You can also get Margaret Stove lace kits; Her escarf kits are very popular with knitters of all abilites.
Rainbow Mills Yarn has a well-deserved reputation among knitters who appreciate quality yarn. Rainbow Mills Yarn is based in Philadelphia and makes handspun, hand-dyed yarns. The company produces different types of yarn but a particular favorite is 'Candy'. It is handspun, hand-shredded and hand-mixed before being spun. It is then spun over rayon, and twisted again with rayon after being spun. Candy from Rainbow Mills Yarn is artist hand-dyed in colorfast aniline dyes and the colorways produced are simply devine.
Twisted Sisters Yarn come about when Lynne Vogel and some her fiber-loving friends got together in Oregon to produce yarns of exceptional quality, feel and color. For well over ten years Twisted Sisters Yarn has become internationally known for producing one-off, hand-dyed yarn. The color blends produced from each one limited edition of Hand Paints makes every garment made from Twisted Sisters Yarn something that is unique and personal. But Twisted Sisters Yarn is not just about producing traditionally dyed yarn, they also produce modern, stylish classics like their Elektra and Roxanne yarn collections.
The above are just a brief overview of the new and unusual yarns that are now widely available. Other unique yarns come from the likes of Windy Valley Muskox Yarn and Artyarns Yarns. For those who want to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind creations the availibility of unique and exquisite yarn has never been so good.

A TD who claimed a £7m pay-off had been set aside for a Northern Ireland politician could face a Stormont grilling.
Daithi McKay said he intended to call Mick Wallace before the Assembly committee he chairs over allegations he made in the Dail.
Mr Wallace named law firm Tughans as having acted for Cerberus, which bought the Nama portfolio in Northern Ireland.
He alleged "a routine audit showed that £7m ended up in an Isle of Man bank account".
The independent TD added: "It was reportedly earmarked for a Northern Ireland politician."
Tughans has denied any wrongdoing, saying the practice is not linked to any political party and that it has not made any political donations.
It did, however, confirm that a former partner - understood to be ex-managing director Ian Coulter - did divert money into a bank account. He has since left the company.
Yesterday calls were growing for a full probe into the claims.
First Minister Peter Robinson said such stories "damage politics". "Those with information should give it to the authorities to test its credibility in a thorough investigation," he added. Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness called for an immediate and full police probe.
Mr Wallace could now be called before the Assembly's finance committee to elaborate on his comments.
Mr McKay, who chairs the committee, said he intended to convene an emergency sitting to consider its response to the allegations.
Officials from Cerberus, the US investment firm that bought Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio, could be brought before the committee too.
Mr McKay backed up claims Mr Wallace may be asked to appear. "I would intend to call on Nama officials and Mick Wallace to appear before the committee and the law firm involved to elaborate on their recent statements on the matter," he said.
Justice Minister David Ford said anyone with evidence of criminal wrongdoing should report it to police.
"This allegation is of the utmost seriousness," he added. "If Mr Wallace has something to report, I would encourage him to bring it forward to An Garda Siochana and the PSNI, and allow them to investigate thoroughly.
A Cerberus official said: "We are not and never have been a client of Tughans. We want to make it clear that no improper or illegal fees were paid by us or on our behalf, and we take any allegation to the contrary extremely seriously."
The PSNI said nothing had been reported over the claims.
Tughans said: "Tughans' duties of confidentiality to its clients are absolute and we do not comment on internal affairs. In response to the comments made in the Dail, we can confirm, however, that a former partner diverted to an account of which he was the sole beneficiary, professional fees due to the firm without the knowledge of the partners. We have since retrieved the money and he has left the practice. The practice is not linked to any political party nor has it ever made party political donations. Tughans reported the circumstances of the departure of the former partner to the Law Society."

As against an average of twenty and above cases being reported daily till last month, now the count has gone down to three or four, Dr V K Monga, MCD health committee chairman, said.

US President Donald Trump says there were no American casualties in the Iranian strikes on military bases housing US troops in Iraq and that Tehran appeared to be standing down.
The US Department of Defense confirmed that yesterday, Iran launched more than a dozen rockets against the US military facilities of al-Asad base in western Iraq and Erbil in the north.
Introducing his statement at the White House, Trump said: "As long as I'm president of the United States Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon."
He went on to say US forces are "prepared for anything," but for now, "Iran appears to be standing down".
"Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world," he said.
Trump said no Americans were harmed in yesterday's attack.
World powers must send a clear and unified message to Tehran, he said.
He said Iran has been the "leading supporter of terrorism" and that the country had "threatened the civilised world".
He called Iranian general Qasem Soleimani "the world's top terrorist", and said Soleimani's hands were "drenched in blood".
Trump said the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani sent a message to terrorists: "If you value you're own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people."
The US will impose "additional punishing sanctions" on Iran, which has already faced hardship from US sanctions under the Trump administration, he said.
"The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent," he said.
Trump stopped short of making any direct threat of military action against Iran. He urged world powers including Russia and China to abandon the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran and work toward a new agreement.
"We must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place," he said.
He added that he would ask Nato to "become much more involved" in the Middle East.
Iraq's foreign ministry has summoned the Iranian ambassador in Baghdad over the missile attacks.
In a statement, the ministry said Iraq rejected "the attacks on camps housing Iraqi and non-Iraqi forces, and we deem them to be a violation of our sovereignty".
"Iraq is an independent state and... its internal security is its priority. We will not allow it to become a battlefield," the statement added.
US political reaction
Republicans were quick to praise the president's leadership and back his call for US allies to do more.
Senator Rand Paul, who was critical of the Soleimani strike, said he was "pleased" at the president's decision to pull back.
His fellow Republican senator Richard Shelby was also supportive, and Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham called on America to "support President Trump's efforts to resolve the threat from Iran peacefully".
I am pleased that President Trump has pulled back and taken the preferred path of no further military action. I believe any further decisions on military action require a full debate and Congressional authority.— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 8, 2020
I'm heartened that our President stuck with the script, did not humiliate Iran & recognized that Iran is standing down. I'm glad the adults are now being heard! #NoWarWithlran— Rep. Hank Johnson (@RepHankJohnson) January 8, 2020
Across the aisle, Democrat Hank Johnson also offered some praise for the address - albeit with the quip: "I'm glad the adults are now being heard!"
Other senior US Democrats told reporters this morning that no schedule had been set yet for voting on a war powers resolution to limit Trump's military actions regarding Iran.
The officials said the legislation was still being drafted.
Democratic lawmakers want to put a check on the president's powers after he failed to inform Congress ahead of the US drone strike that killed Soleimani.
Reaction in Iran
The BBC spoke to people inside Iran about what they thought of the missile attack. Here are a few of the responses.
"This attack had to be done. War is not good but the USA has been a big bully lately. It had to be stopped. I am sure that Iran won't take further steps," Ramis said.
Another man, Afshin, expressed disappointment. "Iran's attack was pathetic. One of the country's biggest commanders was killed and in revenge, they [launch an] attack with no significant damage or casualties... This was like a failed test for Iran and from now, Israel and the US can do anything."
Nazanin agreed it an act of political theatre. "It was just some action to show the Iranian people that we took revenge. Both Iran and the US know the region's current situation and neither wants to go to war. It was just a political act to start negotiations."
Mohammed said the attack was a warning to the US that its actions would have consequences. "This attack was necessary. The US should know that if they want to harm us it won't be without an answer."

Manoj Muntashir, who is working on the screenplay and the lyrics, says, “We have locked the screenplay and are currently working on the dialogues"
Kangana Ranaut and Manoj Muntashir
Contrary to rumours, Kangana Ranaut’s Sita is very much on schedule. Manoj Muntashir, who is working on the screenplay and the lyrics, says, “We have locked the screenplay and are currently working on the dialogues. We will start the pre-production in September. Our director Alaukik Desai is a perfectionist; he is working on a water-tight script and production design before taking it on floors.” Reiterating that the movie will be made with Kangana, the writer-lyricist shares that she has loved the script. “She is our Sita beyond any reasonable doubt.” When probed about the reason for the delay since its announcement, Manoj asserts, “This much time is normal for a film of such magnitude.” He also revealed that Alaukik is working on the protagonist’s looks and planning workshops before they begin filming. Work on the soundtrack is also underway. He avers, “We will lock music by November. Since I am the common link between the script and the songs, I must get one job done before getting on to the other.” Manoj sums it up saying, “Sita is a film that must be made and we have everything under control.”
Confessions on the couch
Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani have denied dating ever since they collaborated on Shershaah (2021). In the upcoming episode of Karan Johar’s chat show, the filmmaker asked, “Now that you’re dating Kiara Advani, any future plans?” While the actor conceded, “I am manifesting it today,” the show host couldn’t help pursuing, “That you marry Kiara Advani?” Sid initially pretended to not hear, much to KJo and Vicky Kaushal’s amusement.
“I manifest a brighter and happy future,” he said later, but KJo and Vicky weren’t too convinced. Meanwhile, on the work front, Sidharth and Kiara are said to team up again. This time around, for a hatke love story titled Adal Badal. Apparently, the souls of their characters interchange in this supposedly mystic romance. Produced by Sunir Kheterpal, the rom-com will have extensive VFX and CGI. Sid and Kiara are said to be excited about this out-of-the-box concept, and an official announcement is expected after things are finalised.
Pouting like Kareena
Yesterday was Saif Ali Khan’s 52nd birthday. His actor-wife Kareena Kapoor Khan marked the special day with a special post on social media. Sharing a picture of the Nawab pouting, she wrote, “Happy Birthday to the best man in the world. You make this crazy ride crazier and God, I wouldn’t want it any other way... These pictures are proof. I love you my Jaan and I have to say your pout is way better than mine... What say guys? (sic)” Among many others, Prabhas also wished Saif the best year ahead. Prabhas wrote, “Can’t wait for the world to see your breathtaking performance in Adipurush.”
Nawazuddin Siddiqui will explore the fear of flying in director Pavan Kirpalani’s next, tentatively titled Fright Flight. The psychological thriller is said to be a sequel to Pavan’s 2016 film, Phobia. While the Radhika Apte-starrer dealt with agoraphobia — fear of being in public places with a lot of people — Fright Flight sees Nawaz play a character who suffers from overwhelming anxiety when aboard an aeroplane. Aerophobia, anyone?
Baby on the way
Bipasha Basu and Karan Singh Grover finally confirmed that they are expecting their first child. Sharing pictures flaunting her pregnancy, the couple shared that a new phase is adding another unique shade to their prism of life. Bips and KSG wrote, “Making us a little more whole than we used to be. We began this life individually and then we met each other, and from then, we were two.Too much love for only two, seemed a little unfair for us to see…so soon, we who once were two will now become three. A creation manifested by our love, our baby will join us soon and add to our glee (sic).” The duo, who celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on April 30, concluded their post expressing gratitude for the unconditional love, prayers and good wishes showered on them by their fans. They signed off saying, “Thank you for being a part of our lives and manifesting with us another beautiful life, our baby.”
Shraddha, Tiger to reunite?
The buzz around town is that after two years since Baaghi 3, Shraddha Kapoor is set to reunite with Tiger Shroff on screen. Apparently, she is being paired opposite him in his next biggie, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Starring Akshay Kumar, the action-entertainer is said to be director Ali Abbas Zafar’s upscaled version of Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda’s 1998 comic caper. Sources say things will be finalised after Shraddha’s dates and other terms are locked. The makers are still shortlisting leading ladies to be cast opposite Akshay. While the film is slated to roll early next year, Ali has reportedly begun scouting for locations in England and Scotland.

Lovely Paris people — oh how I’ve neglected you! It’s been a little while since I posted a new photo set, but the upside is that I’ve got 26 shots of Paris for your eyeballs this time around.
Thanks to all of you for supporting me with lovely comments and likes and subscriptions and such. The French Frye community is growing each week and it’s exciting getting to know you all through the internet and on my walking tours.
Allons-y and on y va — let’s get to the images!
Many areas that surround major museums feel like culinary black holes; it can be pretty tough to find quality food without extortion prices. The Musée d’Orsay area always felt this way to me, but I think I found a nice spot in Cocorico. The interiors are great, including this little nook which is perfect for a private VIP feel. And every plate of food coming out of the kitchen looked really good. You can find it at 5 Rue du Bac (7th arr).
Don’t remember the name of this shop but what a beautiful work of art in the window! This is along Rue des Blancs Manteaux in the Marais (4th arr).
God I hate getting up in the morning. Even worse in the winter. But sometimes the morning mist makes it worthwhile. This is one of my favorite recent captures.
This “living wall” is around the corner from the donut you’re about to see below. You’re looking at Rue des Petits Carreaux (2nd arr).
Don’t think of donuts when you think of Paris? A place called Boneshaker will change all that. Owners Amanda and Louis have created a delicious trend of high quality donuts and good coffee to boot. Do yourself a favor and check them out at 77 Rue d’Aboukir (2nd arr). That might sound like a plug or hidden ad, but it’s just me loving this place!
These were part of our house’s decoration for a Halloween gouter (afternoon snack) with friends. The French have never fully adopted this holiday, and our house got probably 5 trick-or-treaters all night. With all that affordable dental care you think they’d go hog wild with the candy, but no.
I’m a sucker for fall colors so I popped off this shot from my backyard. I wish the foliage could last longer, it’s so fleeting!
There’s a lesser-known market called the Marché Saint Quentin (10th arr). What a joy! Ultra local and very visual, this is a shot of some cheese that I couldn’t resist.
The dog days of…autumn. Can’t tell if this pooch is sad or just uber cool.
The Parc des Buttes Chaumont (19th arr) is where the most Parisian of Parisians hang out. It’s green, it’s open, and it’s one of those places I go to far less often than I should!
A scooter in the rain with some nice reflections in the cobble stones. It’s almost as if I’d staged it. But I didn’t.
Rue de l’Abreuvoir in Montmartre. This street isn’t a secret to anyone anymore, but it never gets old and at this time of year the doors entice me even more.
On my way to give a tour of Père Lachaise Cemetery (which you should join me on!) I found these mums. If you’ve been to Paris you know that the florists don’t mess around. They’re artists just as much as the pastry chefs and handbag designers. Paris is a city of people taking pride in their craft; just one of the reasons I love it to pieces.
This might be my favorite photo of the bunch, even though it doesn’t show Paris and even though I’m not a horse person at all. It was at a tiny farm in the suburbs and the light hit this guy just right so I snapped a few shots. Artistically I’m also proud of the crop here (I’m allowed to toot my own horn sometimes, right?).
How do you get a unique picture of Montmartre that hasn’t already been taken thousands of times? You start with this reservoir on Rue du Mont-Cenis. After I finish my Montmartre tours and head inevitably to Soul Kitchen for lunch, I always glance up at this beauty.
Eglise Notre Dame de Lorette (9th arr) is one of those forgotten churches and for that reason I always delight in walking around it. Nothing but locals here (though in truth there are a few tourists behind the building on Rue des Martyrs and for good reason — it’s a foodie haven).
Passage Jouffroy (9th arr) is just a classic, and when I give tours of the Covered Passages I love to show people the treasures ranging from pastries to doll house furniture to Chopin’s old stomping grounds. When the November light hit the ceiling the other day it was pretty glorious.
Let’s face it — Rue Saint Denis isn’t the most glamorous part of Paris. In fact if you’re ever curious to see what a Paris prostitute looks like, this is the place. But the area has two incredible old arches that marked the northern entrances of Paris centuries ago. I’m so glad they’re still around! I always feel like I’m time traveling in this area.
Not Paris, technically. This was part of a trip to the city of Tours in the Loire Valley. Right outside the big train station is this beauty.
A metro entrance in the 2nd arrondissement and another reminder (not that you need one) that Art Nouveau is so special. When I show these entrances to clients, I try to convey the idea of Paris always making aesthetic choices with its municipal and civil structures. That effort alone makes this city one of the prettiest on the planet. As a former art school nerd I’m so grateful to be surrounded by this stuff.
The tomb of Chopin at Père Lachaise is the one I could never find during my first visit as a tourist. I still remember that sinking feeling in my gut knowing that I may never come back to locate it. So now when I’m able to share this grave with other travelers I consider it a privelage and a personal victory. By the way Chopin is in this tomb but not ALL of him is here. Which part is missing? You’ll have to take my tour to find out! Or you could just Google it. But let’s face it, my tour would be more fun. :-)
Another shot of the farm outside town.
And some furry residents of the farm.
Another favorite shot of mine this week, sunset at La Concièrgerie. I could have Photoshopped the cranes out of the frame, but let’s keep things real shall we? :-)
Le Clos Montmartre, the little vineyard of the 18th district, has a new installation of flowers that I don’t remember seeing in previous years. What a great bonus to this already fantastic view!
Another view of Rue Saint Denis and its “portal” that once led you outside of Old Paris. I love blends of modern and ancient so this view tickled my fancy.
Phew, 26 photos — we’ve done it! If you’ve stuck around this long you must be a true fan.
Speaking of which, remember that if you’re in Paris on November 15th you can come meet me during a live episode of
The Earful Tower podcast with Oliver Gee and Paris author John Baxter. It’ll be a couple of hours of drinking, mingling, chatting, prizes, and all sorts of fun. Grab a ticket for the event here.
Or you can listen to this latest episode, where my “Corey Story” digs up some intriguing facts about the Nazi Occupation:
Have a lovely day everyone and happy Paris dreaming!

Snappin’ Country Lick!
This style is fun to play, with the snappin’ and poppin’ sounds you get when you pluck the strings with the picking hand. This style is called “hybrid picking”. Chicken picking is a general term for making the notes short and snappy sounding, by pulling on the string.
I got the idea for this from listening to Brent Mason. He’s a master at this technique.
Check out this album of his: https://amzn.to/31FTJOm – it’s really cool and full of amazing licks!Snappin’ Country Lick Snappin’ Country Lick – Soundslice


Providing API and Machine Learning Solutions
We think that AI can meaningfully improve people's lives and that the biggest impact will come when everyone can access it. While the technology will require a tremendous amount of management in areas like privacy and security, the potential of the technology to enhance our lives is significant and we love to create these on demand ai services.
The story behind iduna.ai
Why do we choose the name Iduna.ai?
In Norse mythology Idun or Iduna is the goddess of renewal and immortality and she is the guardian of the golden apples who gave the gods eternal youth and thus immortality.
So we thought as a technology company, we would like to support other companies in their web presence by offering fresh cloud api services. So Iduna's tree is the apple tree and that's how the idea for the logo of iduna.ai came about.
Iduna.ai logo and technologies
How do we come up with that logo?
Our logo features an abstract apple tree.
In the software development discipline, there is the Git tree, which also has multiple Git branches, like an apple tree.
So we can imagine that each branch represents a service, which will be developed by us in the near future. A round dot on top of each branch represents an apple or a commit in git. Our logo can also be understood as a Git tree from the world of developers.
Experts in frontend and backend development
Our team consists of different experts of frontend, backend development, UX / UI design and AI.
The team is young, dynamic and comes from all over the world and works remotely via git status and git commit !
This flexibility allows us to bring in resources from around the world to deliver products faster.
Creation and implementation of technical on-demand development projects.
Providing innovative tech products and cloud services
Iduna.ai's mission and goal is the constant further development and improvement of digitization with a focus on modern cloud and AI services. Our vision is to create cloud and AI services to help you finish your tasks faster, so you have more time to produce better products.
We develop scalable, secure and user-centric digital products and we also want to improve b2b and b2c existing processes by simplifying and automating these processes, so you can better focus on things that really matter.
Feedback is valuable to us because we constantly want to improve ourselves and our services. If you are successful then we are also successful and that is what we believe. In the near future, AI services should be available to everyone.
DevSecOps is made up of the words development, security and operations. Traditional software development processes typically take months or even years to develop and release new versions of applications. In this case, companies usually only have enough time in the final phase of development to subject the created code to a separate security and quality control in order to identify problems and weak points. In recent years, software development has changed fundamentally due to the spread of agile software development methods.
Automation and modern cloud-native technologies such as containers and microservices support developers and allow the development steps to be divided into many independently running processes. In addition, DevOps strategies ensure that development cycles are accelerated, reducing the time between releases and new application versions are available within weeks or even days.
Because the development phases are being accelerated, previous security practices are becoming obsolete: In many companies, the available time before the next release is usually not sufficient to effectively check the code for errors. This unnecessarily slows down development or neglects essential security measures and that's why the risk of bugs and opportunities for cyber attacks are increasing.
DevSecOps represents the evolution of the DevOps idea and complements the collaborative development organization with the topic of security. Security measures are integrated directly into the development process and everyone involved is jointly responsible for ensuring security standards. By taking the security aspect into account in the development process, agile processes are not restricted and there is always the possibility of reacting quickly to security risks.
We like to work with an end-to-end open source machine learning platform such as TensorFlow. It has a comprehensive, flexible ecosystem of tools, libraries and community resources that lets researchers push the state-of-the-art in ML and developers easily build and deploy ML powered applications.
We also do research on an open source machine learning framework like PyTorch that accelerates the path from research prototyping to production deployment. PyTorch is based on Python that provides two high-level features: Tensor computation (like NumPy) with strong GPU acceleration and Deep neural networks built on a tape-based autograd system.
The step of gathering relevant and reliable data is very important as the quality and volume of the data directly impacts the outcome of the machine learning model. After gathering data, we have to prepare it for use in our machine learning training in the following step.
Data Preparation ensures that the dataset is free of erroneous or corrupt data points. It also involves standardizing the data into a single format. The dataset is also split into two parts to be used for Training the Data Model and evaluating the performance of the Trained Model, respectively.
Training a Model
After preparing the data and choosing a specific model, we move on to what is often considered the main part of machine learning - the model training. The training data set is used to predict the output value and it is also used to gradually improve the model's prediction accuracy.
Once the model training is complete, it's time to evaluate its performance. The scoring process uses the data set provided in the data preparation process. This data was never used to train the model. So, testing the data model against a new data set gives an idea of how the model will perform in real applications.
Just because the model is trained and evaluated doesn't mean it's perfect and ready to go. The model is further improved by tuning the parameters. Prediction is the final step in machine learning. In this step, the data model is provided and the machine uses its learning to answer questions.
App Api Development
We focus on reliable, safe and user-oriented product development. Through the experience of various experts and through our many years of experience with technology and design, we know how to make applications visually appealing, user-friendly, secure and compliant. We use the latest UX & UI technologies and trends to build responsive and scalable applications that transform customer experiences across diverse channels.
Machine learning applications are all around us - in social media, shopping carts and entertainment media, as well as in many homes and even in our healthcare. Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and involves training algorithms to find patterns and correlations in large data sets and to make the best decisions and predictions based on this analysis. ML applications improve with use and become more accurate the more data they have at their disposal. We're focusing on the latest machine learning services and building them up so we can make them available to everyone in the near future.
Open Source Integration Service
Agility is now a business imperative. Today it requires an application architecture built with modern, highly responsive, cloud-native technologies that work, adapt, and scale to support rapid change. We believe, that the open source software can offer unlimited vertical and horizontal scalability that's needed for reliable software. We can help you to migrate your applications in different cloud providers or even on premise servers.

For all of you classic movie lovers out there, some interesting news came out today regarding a new biopic about the late (but unbelievably great) Grace Kelly. The film, titled ‘Grace of Monaco’ will star Nicole Kidman as Kelly, and I think the casting has the potential to be fantastic if Kidman is able to return to the form she was in around a decade ago. Directing duties fall to Olivier Dahan, who has already proven his ability to direct a portrait of a famous woman, with his amazing movie ‘La Vie En Rose’ starring Marion Cotillard as french singer Edith Piaf.
As a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, I was first exposed to Grace Kelly when I saw Hitchcock’s classic thriller ‘Dial M For Murder.’ I immediately fell in love with her, and then again in western classic ‘High Noon’ and another Hitchcock thriller with Jimmy Stewart, ‘Rear Window.’ Perhaps Kelly’s greatest role was in ‘The Country Girl’ where she took home the Academy Award for Best Actress. Kelly was insanely beautiful, in an effortless way and her acting was equally as effortless as she managed to bring a unique charm to every role she took on.
In her late twenties, Kelly married Rainier III who was the Prince of Monaco with whom she had three children. The film will apparently focus largely on this period of her life, and some of the personal struggles that she went through as well as the political struggles between her husband and famous French military general Charles de Gaulle, which naturally trickled down onto her. While I am an avid fan of Kelly’s and have studied her film career in depth, this is a part of her story that I am not as familiar with and for that reason I’m very interested to see the film, and I hope that it sticks as close to the truth as possible.
In 1982, Kelly was killed in a car accident that happened as a result of her suffering a stroke behind the wheel. She died far too young, at age 52. Whether or not the film will continue on this far into her life, I’m not sure, but I anticipate that it will delve into the fact that she was said to deeply miss her acting career and the stresses she was placed under as a result of her husband’s position in a monarchy under constant pressure from outside forces.
With some of the latest highly anticipated biopics like ‘J.Edgar’ and ‘The Iron Lady’ being slightly disappointing, hopefully this one will be more in the vein of Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ and provide us a fascinating and entertaining view of the lesser known life of one of America’s most beloved actresses. The film is set to hit the theaters on December 27.

In 1965, singer, songwriter and harmonica player John Sebastian joined forces with guitarist Zal Yanovsky. They added Steve Boone and Joe Butler, members of the nascent rock scene, and became the Lovin’ Spoonful (from a reference to Maxwell House Coffee as a metaphor for sex in the song “Coffee Blues”). The band’s first single was “Do You Believe in Magic?” and reached #9; follow-up singles “You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice” and “Daydream” also reached the Top Ten, the latter peaking at #2. At the height of the band’s success, the producers of the television series that later became The Monkees approached the band about featuring the group in the show, but conflicts over publishing rights and the band’s reluctance to change its name scuttled those plans.
Yanovsky left the band in 1967 and Sebastian followed at the end of 1968, effectively ending the group’s run of hit singles. Sebastian performed at Woodstock and later penned and sang the theme song for the television show Welcome Back Kotter. The band continued, with Jerry Yester replacing Yanovsky and Butler taking over most of the lead vocals. It broke up in 1969, but reconvened in 1991. The original quartet was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. Today the Lovin’ Spoonful is a quintet with Boone, Butler and Yester joined by drummer Mike Arturi and guitarist/vocalist Phil Smith.
Some of the influences and inspirations for the folk rock, pop band have been The Beach Boys, Lonnie Donnegan, Lead Belly and Jim Kweskin’s Jug Band.
“The good-time sounds of the Lovin’ Spoonful made the quartet a fixture during the golden age of Top Forty radio.” – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“Two guys with rock ’n’ roll backgrounds wanted to bring folk music into their music, and two guys with folk backgrounds wanted to bring rock ’n’ roll into their music. When the four of us meshed, it was instant chemistry. And you can’t discount the power of John Sebastian’s first two songs, ‘Do You Believe in Magic’ and ‘What a Day for a Daydream.’ I don’t see how we couldn’t have been successful.” – Lovin’ Spoonful bassist Steve Boone.

It was extremely difficult to narrow down even this big group of photographs from this shoot. I can’t explain the beauty I experienced in this patch of woods in Michigan over the past week. I just wanted to lay in the trees with a good book and a cup of coffee.
I thrifted this cape from one of my favorite vintage stores, Lost and Found. It was $20 and just too perfect for a fall shoot. It’s such a fun piece!

have posted over at the hand mirror on the personification of nations, and how these most often tend to be women.
also glad to see that the police have launched a religious diversity guide to be use for training purposes. i have to say that the police have been very active in taking on diversity issues and incorporating this at various levels in the organisation. the appointment of ethnic advisors in the last few years and the push to recruit from ethnic communities both have been extremely positive steps.
i have to say that i had a small hand in looking over the muslim section of the guide, and thought it was presented really well. this from the race relations commissioner is particularly pertinent:
“While we live in a secular state in New Zealand, this does not mean public servants should be ignorant about the beliefs of the communities they serve. To deliver public services effectively, public servants need to understand their clients and gain their confidence.”
so well done nz police. let's hope that other departments will be as proactive.

Women’s spending power was an undercurrent that lifted Q3 economic growth. The tidal wave of spending on shimmers and glam began with the Barbie movie, flowed through Beyonce’s Renaissance tour and crashed ashore with Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. But don’t count on that spending boost to prop up the economy much longer; it is simply not sustainable.
The economy grew at a pace of 4.9% in the third quarter fueled by consumer spending, which comprises two-thirds of the U.S. economy. Personal consumption expenditure (PCE), a measure of consumer spending, increased 4% in Q3 after rising just 0.8% in Q2.
Women’s summer spending lifted all boats
While post-COVID pent-up demand for travel and events played a role, women splurging on unforgettable experiences made the summer of 2023 an economic bonanza.
The Barbie movie and female-led concert tours contributed 0.7 percentage points to PCE growth and 0.6 percentage points to GDP in Q3, according to analysts. That translated to billions of dollars in economic activity nationally and locally.
Barbie topped $1.4 billion in global box office sales, grabbing the title for the top movie of 2023 and making history as the first film solely directed by a woman to break the $1 billion mark. Women went all out to see Barbie — curating pink and Barbie doll-inspired outfits such as Cowgirl Barbie, Sporty Barbie and Malibu Barbie; organizing gangs of friends and family to flood theaters and dining out to celebrate the women’s icon.
The appetite for women-themed, women-celebrating and women-led performances continued with two epic tours. Beyonce grossed $579 million as of early October through her Renaissance tour, grabbing the title of the highest-grossing tour by a female artist in history and the seventh-highest-grossing tour overall. T-Swift has since unseated Queen Bey by grossing over $800 million.
Fans shelled out several hundred to thousands of dollars a piece for tickets to these concerts — often buying multiple tickets for friends and family. Add to that spending on glamorous outfits, travel and dining which provided a big lift to local economies. According to the Federal Reserve, May was the strongest month for hotel revenue in Philadelphia since the onset of the pandemic, due to an influx of guests for the Taylor Swift concerts in the city.
Yelp termed it the Beyonce Bump. Search trends the week of July 6-12 leading up to her first U.S. tour stop in Philadelphia were eye-popping: Hotel and Travel searches dominated (+21%), followed by Shopping (+10%) and Beauty Services (+9%). Restaurants enjoyed a 31% increase in diners seated.
Women are financially stressed out
Women justified splurging on once-in-a-lifetime experiences as a chance to relive youthful memories or create new ones, but it may also have delivered many an escape from their day-to-day personal and economic realities. The rising cost of living continues to stress Americans out, especially women.
Nearly one in four (23%) women compared to just 5% of men say financial stress keeps them up at night, according to a Bank of America survey. Over half of women worry they won’t make ends meet due to inflation compared to a third of men. The percentage of women doing well financially hit a five-year low at 35%.
Elevated inflation — driven by massive needless federal spending — caused real wages to fall, leaving workers with a pay cut. Excess pandemic savings have largely been spent down. Women are working multiple jobs to make ends meet at a greater rate than men.
Many women racked up credit card debt to fund their summer splurges, but they are also relying on credit to afford everyday expenses. Credit card debt crossed the $1.03 trillion mark this year, car loan delinquencies hit the highest rate in 27 years and mortgage foreclosures are on the rise.
Freelancing is the solution to women’s financial woes
Women need more ways to generate income, especially flexible opportunities for those who balance priorities such as caregiving and health concerns. In polls, women express the need for greater flexibility in hours and working from home, greater control over their financial future and better work-life balance.
Freelancing through independent contracting delivers all of that even though the tradeoff is not receiving paid benefits. A record 72 million Americans were independent workers last year — nearly half of which were women.
For this reason, the Biden administration should not restrict independent contracting. The Department of Labor is expected to finalize a rule that would make it difficult for workers to retain their independent contractor status. The proposal rescinds a simplified, more favorable multi-factor test adopted by the Trump administration in 2021, and replaces it with a stricter standard that would lead to the reclassification of many independent contractors as employees.
Simultaneously, Democrats in Congress aim to pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), a pro-Big Labor bill that would employ an even more rigid ABC test to determine independent contractor status. The PRO Act would all but legislate freelance work out of existence.
The problem with reclassifying independent contractors is that would hike labor costs for businesses by a steep $18 – $61 billion weekly, according to the American Action Forum. Without enough steady work, freelancers simply may not be hired. Meanwhile, flexible freelance opportunities would disappear.
A similar crackdown on freelancing in California in 2019 led to lost businesses and livelihoods for entrepreneurs and small business owners. After Assembly Bill 5 (AB5) was passed, countless professionals and gig workers lost incomes, contracts and opportunities. National reclassification efforts would spread California’s hardship nationwide, and so freelancers are speaking out.
The summer of fun was a one-time economic boost. To spark ongoing economic growth amidst stubbornly high inflation and high interest rates, we must protect flexible work and allow freelancers to remain independent.

Changing Polish market drives new packaging demand
Massimiliano Persico and Regina Leone at the Carton Pack stand during Fresh Market Conference 2017 in Warsaw.
"We think that the Polish consumer will continue to evolve and embrace healthier lifestyles, with the younger generations leading the charge. It seems more and more difficult nowadays to stand out with new ideas and packaging can bring a lot of solutions, aesthetically, but also in terms of functionality. Quality and freshness have become key, and packaging plays a driving role on the route to innovation," shared Massimiliano Persico, Strategic Marketing Manager for Carton Pack.
Import and export is on the rise in Poland, along with well structured logistics centres, which according to Massimiliano, is why the company has had its eye on Poland for a while now.
"With renewed partnerships and a development plan for investments, we’re ready to start up our sales presence in Poland with a strong commitment, to support our partners and customers at best. We will focus on berries and apples to start with, which is the most logical, with Poland being a major European producer of both of these products." said Massimiliano.
The company plans on entering the market with their range of R-PET punnets, with and without lids or film covering for berries, along with the company's apple bags, which were on display at the recent Fresh Market Conference 2017 in Warsaw.
"I think that our soft fruit packaging has the potential to trigger impulse purchases and increase sales. Consumers are looking for consistency in terms of quality, shelf-life, taste and availability. That’s why "packaging" is a crucial element for the sales performance of fruit produce marketing," stressed Massimiliano.
Carton Pack was recently nominated for the Fresh Market Award 2017 at the Fresh Market Conference, for their CartonPET tray. The raw material and texture of CartonPET Tray is similar to paper-made packaging and is an eco-friendly and recyclable solution. However, the material rivals paper trays by providing better thermal insulation which results in extended shelf life, freshness and less thermal shock for food content after harvest. The CartonPET Tray also protects fresh produce from light and oxidizing agents.
"The demand for packaging has really changed in the last three years, choosing more branded solutions and eco-sustainable materials. The market is constantly searching for new concepts that combine functionality, together with appealing graphics and packaging formats. With the increase in demand of organics in Poland, we also see an opportunity in the future to extend our range towards biodegradable packaging materials or better eco-sustainable solutions like carton or paper packaging," concluded Massimiliano.
