It has frequently been quipped that for investors, an accommodative Fed policy is like owning a "put" under the market, meaning that it protects them against losses at some market level. The thinking is that the Fed will only allow stocks to fall so far.
But on Friday, traders are instead buying puts of their own.
Sitting across the harbor from Halifax is Dartmouth, a small town that has been around since 1750. There are two primary reasons to visit this Nova Scotia town (aside from the scenic ferry ride across the harbor): First, to enjoy its natural landscape; and second, to take in its history. Known as "The City of Lakes," Dartmouth is peppered with 23 individual ponds, many of which are surrounded by public parkland and ideal for a picnic. Another scenic stomping ground is the Shubenacadie Canal, which was created in the early 1800s to connect Halifax Harbor to Shubenacadie Grand Lake and ultimately the Bay of Fundy near Nova Scotia's interior.
You should can spend an hour or two exploring Dartmouth's harbor, where you'll find a cluster of historic buildings that now house cute shops and cozy restaurants.
Dartmouth is just a twelve-minute ferry ride from downtown Halifax, though you can choose to walk or drive there via the Angus L. MacDonald Bridge. To learn more about what Dartmouth has to offer, you can visit the official town website.

President Donald Trump speaks to reporters at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, August 10, 2017.
During a press conference outside his Bedminster resort on Friday evening, President Donald Trump suggested the US was weighing military options in response to ongoing turmoil in Venezuela.
Asked about the US response to the political, economic, and social crises in the South American country, Trump said, "We have many options for Venezuela, and by the way, I'm not going to rule out a military option."
"We have many options for Venezuela. This is our neighbor ... this is — we're all over the world, and we have troops all over the world in places that are very, very far away," Trump added. "Venezuela is not very far away, and the people are suffering, and they're dying. We have many options for Venezuela, including a possible military option, if necessary."
Asked if it would be a US-led military operation, Trump said, "We don't talk about it, but a military operation, a military option is certainly something that we could pursue."
"I support peace. I support safety, and I support having to get tough if we have to" in order to protect Americans and people around the world, the president added.
After Trump's remarks, the Pentagon said that it had not gotten any orders on Venezuela from the White House, according to Idrees Ali of Reuters. The Pentagon added that, "Any insinuations by the Maduro regime that we are planning an invasion are baseless."

The US has already issued three rounds of sanctions against Venezuela officials since the end of July.
Thirteen officials were sanctioned during the last week July, ahead of the vote to elect members to a widely condemned constituent assembly that critics charge is a government maneuver to consolidate power by President Nicolas Maduro. After the vote on July 30, the US sanctioned Maduro himself, and this week the US Treasury announced sanctions against eight more officials.
Venezuela is now in the fifth month of a period of protests that broke out in early April, after the supreme court, considered by many to aligned with Maduro, attempted to strip the opposition-led National Assembly of its powers.
The supreme court backed off that effort, but the often violent protests that have taken place since have left at least 120 people dead, the majority of them anti-government demonstrators, and led to thousands of arrests.
This week, 17 countries from the region condemned the "breakdown of democratic order" in Venezuela and said they would not recognize the constituent assembly or any measures it may pass regarding future joint oil ventures or debt matters.

Trump administration officials have previously said all options are on the table" to penalize Maduro and his government, including import or export bans on Venezuelan oil or sanctions on the state-run oil company, Pdvsa.
A number of experts as well as US businesses have urged caution with sanctions on the oil industry. Venezuela gets about 95% of its export revenue from oil, and a reduction of that could hinder its ability to buy imported food and medicine, adding to the humanitarian crisis in the country.
Venezuela is also the US's third-largest oil supplier, and sanctions on that oil could affect jobs and gas prices in the US.
Venezuela under Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, has had contentious relations with the US and the two countries have not had ambassadors since 2010.
On Thursday, Maduro said Venezuela "will never give in" but also appealed for a meeting with Trump, who has called the Venezuelan president a "dictator."
During an address to the new, all-powerful constitutional assembly, Maduro told his foreign minister to approach the US about a telephone conversation or meeting with Trump.
"Mr. Donald Trump, here is my hand," Maduro said, adding that he wants as strong a relationship with the US as he has with Russia.

ARRI Group is a multifaceted operation. Its reputation as a leading designer and manufacturer of camera and lighting systems for the film industry, with a worldwide distribution and service network, is well known. But also important are ARRI’s other operations. The company is an integrated media service provider in post-production and equipment rental, and it supplies productions with camera, lighting and grip packages. In addition, ARRI’s medical business focuses on the use of core imaging for surgical applications.
ARRI’s entry into the manufacture of digital cameras, with the arrival of the Arriflex D-20 in 2003 and then later the D-21 in 2008, allowed the company to take a fresh look at its role in the production workflow, but the aim remains the same: to help filmmakers fulfill their creative visions.
“A digital camera is basically a computer and an image sensor, and we help cinematographers get the best image out of the camera,” says Stephan Schenk, managing director of ARRI’s Cine Technik and GM of the company’s Camera Systems business unit.
Just as digital technology revolutionized the camera market, the rise of LEDs has shaken up lighting on set. ARRI has been able to grab a large share of this market with its SkyPanel unit, as well as its other LED lights, while still offering the traditional tungsten and HMI lampheads.
“The conversion to digital in lighting was not as dramatic as the tectonic shift on the camera side, but if we were to have missed the train it would have been a disaster — luckily it looks like we were right on time,” says Markus Zeiler, general manager of ARRI’s lighting business unit.
The advantages of LED lighting are enormous: longer lifetime, more durability, lower use of electricity, far less heat and sigificantly less cabling.
The cost savings mean that LED lights can pay for themselves in one to two years, Zeiler says.
SkyPanel has been a huge hit for ARRI, which is producing around 2,000 units a month, contributing to a 40% increase in revenue for the lighting division last year. LED now accounts for 60% of the revenue for ARRI’s lighting unit.
ARRI prides itself on being able to cater to a filmmaker’s needs at all stages of a project’s life, from set to screen. Many of these services are provided by ARRI Media, headed by managing editor Josef Reidinger. It covers such areas as sound design and mixing, color grading, visual effects, restoration and DCP mastering and distribution, as well as co-production and international sales.
For the past three years, ARRI Media has been stepping up its role as an active co-producer, and has started to develop projects itself. It now has 20 projects in development, and intends to have five go into production each year.
Among other projects, it is co-producing two horror tales with “American Honey” producer Celine Rattray: Fritz Boehm’s “Wildling,” starring Liv Tyler, and Boaz Yakin’s “Boarding School.” The unit’s strategy is to focus on genre films — especially horror, sci-fi and thrillers — for the international market. Ideally it handles world sales for its project itself through its sales arm, ARRI Media Intl., headed by Antonio Exacoustos.
Shooting “Top of the Lake” with the ARRI Alexa, DP Adam Arkapaw turns a wilderness into a force for narrative and character.
As with other parts of the company, ARRI’s visual effects department adopts a collaborative approach to projects, and likes to be attached to them at script stage. “We try to be a partner of the production — to come up with ideas about how to accomplish the project in a way that benefits the story that is going to be told, not in a way that maximizes our effects budget,” says Michael Koch, head of visual effects.
ARRI is keen to handle audio and visual as one. “The idea behind the facility was to combine those technologies and have sound mixing next to color grading, just to see the movie as one thing, and go back and forth between the picture and audio,” says Daniel Vogl, head of post-production at ARRI@Bavaria.
ARRI Rental supplies professional camera, camera grip and lighting equipment. The company formerly consisted of offices with different names operating in multiple countries, but the entire operation was rebranded a few years ago under the ARRI Rental umbrella in order to provide a unified level of service and support. Rentals also gives filmmakers access to high-end technologies such as the Alexa 65 that they couldn’t otherwise afford.

New York (TADIAS) – As we wrap up the year we wish our audience around the world a happy and safe holiday season. And, as always, we look back at some of the top arts & culture stories that captured our attention in 2014. The list is organized in no particular order. Enjoy and see you in 2015!
The movie Asni was, hands down, one of the best Ethiopian documentary films released in 2014. Directed by Rachel Samuel and edited & co-produced by Yemane Demissie (Associate Professor of Film & Television at New York University), the documentary features the life and times of legendary Ethiopian musician and actress Asnaketch Worku. The captivating narrative gives us a glimpse into the performer’s popular and controversial past through her own words as well as those of her peers. The interview was recorded inside her humble home in Addis Ababa, while she was in bed-rest, a few years before she passed away. After watching the film my first thoughts were “What a woman Asnaketch was!” Free spirited, talented, curious, stylish, beautiful, outspoken and a trailblazer on the stage. It’s moving that at the end Asni — whom in her younger age was in many ways ahead of her time from the rigid and conservative societal norms of her generation — left us a lasting legacy that was built on passion for her profession and pure labor-of-love instead of on feckless pursuit of money and fame. That’s why, I personally believe, that today as Ethiopians everywhere we should cherish and celebrate Asni for she is our cultural treasure and irreplaceable. They did not call her The Lady with the Kirar for nothing. Asnaketch Worku was a born Ethiopian star.
Dinaw Mengistu dropped another of his mesmerizing and culturally-transcending novels this year (his third), firmly establishing himself as one of the most important writers of our generation. His latest book All Our Names was published in 2014. The New York Times notes: “All three of Dinaw Mengestu’s novels are about people who, for various reasons, come to this country and fashion new lives…For while questions of race, ethnicity and point of origin do crop up repeatedly in Mengestu’s fiction, they are merely his raw materials, the fuel with which he so artfully — but never didactically — kindles disruptive, disturbing stories exploring the puzzles of identity, place and human connection.” In addition I would say that All Our Names is a great read so share it with friends and family.
The year started off with a bang for Ethiopian cinema on international big screens with Difret by Zeresenay Berhane Mehari winning two audience awards — at Sundance and Berlin film festivals. And it ended with the feature drama becoming Ethiopia’s 2014 official Oscar submission for Best Foreign Language Film. Although there could be no doubt that Difret was the most talked-about Ethiopian movie of the year, I hope the film continues to invite conversations about the inherent cruelty of child marriage. (Here is a great review by The Los Angeles Times).
The Taitu Cultural Center marked its 14th anniversary in 2014. Perhaps it speaks more to the vision and determination of Ethiopian actress and playwright Alemtsehay Wedajo, the Founder & Director, that the organization survived for more than a decade without much resources in comparison to institutions of the same category in the Washington. D.C. metropolitan area. Over the last decade-and-half the center has become a staging-ground for established and aspiring Ethiopian artists, including poets, painters, musicians, comedians and Amharic book authors residing near the U.S. capital and beyond. The 14th anniversary celebration took place on November 2nd at Tifereth Israel Congregation in Washington. The event’s program featured a play called Yasteyikal. A comedy and selected poems of the year were also recited by legendary performers, including Alemtsehay Wedajo herself and Tesfaye Sima. Wishing Taitu much success for many years to come!
The Addis Photo Fest, founded by Ethiopian photographer Aida Muluneh, held its 4th exhibition in Addis Ababa this year. It’s not an easy task to curate an annual show not only because photography as an art form is still a complex subject, but also because choosing the right theme and artists is an even more daunting challenge. The reward, when done properly, is that photography exhibitions could actually be an effective medium to explore pertinent and timely social issues (both local and global) beyond the abstract and academic that are positive, as well as negative, and require the public’s attention. We congratulate Aida on her efforts and we look forward to the Addis Photo Fest continuing to receive the international recognition that it deserves.
Marcus Samuelsson never stops! And that’s not surprising given that he lives in a city that never sleeps either. The New York-based restaurateur and celebrity-chef, who was born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, highlights in his latest book, Marcus Off Duty: The Recipes I Cook at Home, the eclectic tastes and cooking-sensibilities of the world’s most diverse ethnic communities found right here in the United States. The following video is our interview with Marcus during his book talk and signing event last month in Washington D.C. where he was hosted by Joe Yonan, the Food & Travel Editor of The Washington Post. His book is available at Barnes & Noble or online at Amazon.com.
When it comes to climbing the corporate ladder in the American music industry, it almost can’t get any better than reaching the helm of the country’s historic label — Motown Records. In 2014 34-year-old Ethiopia Habtemariam was promoted to President of Motown Records following a major reorganization at Universal Music Group. It was announced over the summer that Ethiopia will also remain in her previous role as Head of Urban Music division at Universal Music Publishing Group. She was one of Billboard magazine’s “Women in Music 2014″ honored in New York this month along with Beyonce, Aretha Franklin, Taylor Swift and many more. We congratulate Ethiopia on her accomplishments and wish her continued success!
Ethiopian-born American painter Julie Mehretu, who was also one of the Executive Producers of the film Difret, was the featured guest speaker at the fifth American Artist Lecture Series at the Tate Modern in London on September 22, 2014. The program, a partnership between Art in Embassies, Tate Modern and US Embassy London, “bring the greatest living modern and contemporary American artists to the UK.” Julie, who was born in Addis Ababa in 1970 and immigrated to the United States with her family in 1977, is one of the leading contemporary artists in the United States. She has received numerous international recognition for her work including the American Art Award from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the prestigious MacArthur Fellow award. She had residencies at the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (1998–99), the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York (2001), the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota (2003), and the American Academy in Berlin (2007). Julie is an inspiration for many young people around the world and we look forward to more brilliant work in the future.
Last, but not least, in November 2014 UNICEF Ethiopia named young rap star Abelone Melese, a citizen of Norway with Ethiopian origin, as its new National Ambassador at a signing ceremony held at the UNICEF Ethiopia office in Addis Ababa. The organization notes that “the event was attended by Patrizia DiGiovanni, Acting UNICEF Representative to Ethiopia, Mrs. Tove Stub, Minister Counsellor/Deputy Head of Mission, Royal Norwegian Embassy, members of the media and UNICEF staff.” Big congratulations to Abelone Melese!
Public figures launch appeal to thwart Israel's membership to OECD.
They also called on Israel to abide fully with the OECD principles and benchmarks.
Meanwhile, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Israel's trade minister, accused Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister, of trying to block the country’s bid to join the OECD.
"We should not bring politics into organisations that deal with economics and trade," Ben-Eliezer said on Sunday.
He said Fayyad’s actions are especially serious coming at a time when Israel and the Palestinians are renewing peace talks.
Fayyad, who is a respected economist with strong international contacts, had previously spoken out against Israel's bid for OECD membership.
Omar Barghouti, a founding member of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC), the organisation behind the public appeal, told Al Jazeera that by accepting Israel, OECD members would show a blatant complicity with Israeli war crimes, destroying the very foundations of international law.
"Rewarding Israel entrenches its impunity and dashes any realistic hope for achieving a just peace in the region," Barghouti said.
"Officials of OECD member states are perfectly aware that Israel does not comply with any of the objective criteria put forth."
The 31-member OECD must vote unanimously to accept new members and Israeli finance ministry officials said that, despite opposition from some members, they expect an approval on accession.
"There are all kinds of countries with arguments, such as Norway, Switzerland, and Ireland, but these countries don’t have a majority, and the near-universal consensus is in favour of Israel's accession," a finance ministry officials said.
Lars Ohly, chair of Sweden's Left Party, said at the party's congress on Sunday that the Palestinian people face one of the worst examples of double standards of morality in the world today.
"The occupying state is rewarded with increased trade, with more military contacts, that it is now suggested that they become a member of the OECD ... This is a shame."
A delegation from the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC), a London based NGO, is expected to lobby the Turkish government on Monday to veto Israel's accession.
Turkey is the only Muslim-majority country that is a member of the OECD, and the delegation hopes to meet Abdullah Gul, the president, and Recep Tayyeb Erdogan, the prime minister, to convince them to prevent Israel from joining the organisation.
Seyfeddin Kara, IHRC head of campaigns, said: "Campaigners world-wide recognise that Israel’s accession will give it a legitimacy it does not deserve and confer economic favours that will contribute to and accelerate the dispossession of the Palestinian people."

Donald Trump, we know, has forged a special bond with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. We should forget Russia’s effort to subvert American democracy — Vladimir Putin is fine, just fine. Even European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker turns out to be a good guy when it comes to talking trade. Now the US president says he is happy to meet his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani. Last week he was threatening Tehran with all manner of fire and fury. Given the great deal Mr Kim got in Singapore, Mr Rouhani might do well to grab the offer.
You can see why all this might leave Beijing feeling edgy. Chinese president Xi Jinping was also once a recipient of the Trumpian best-of-friends treatment. But, as the crazy kaleidoscope that is US foreign policy keeps spinning, the White House war on Beijing’s trade policies is establishing itself as something of a constant. The president’s revised view of Mr Xi is that “he’s for them and I’m for us”.
Mr Trump has a point. Most of his generalised rage about trade is a measure of ignorance about globalisation and supply chains. He lives in the 1950s. In those days, things were made in one country — usually America — and then sold in another — preferably just about everywhere else. The modern world of bits and pieces, with components and semi-finished products moving to and fro across borders, does not fit the president’s template.
China is different. When Mr Trump accuses it of stealing intellectual property, shutting out imports and manipulating the Renminbi, he strikes a chord elsewhere. It is no coincidence that European governments — most recently Britain — are toughening controls to stop Chinese investment becoming a route to involuntary technology transfer. European businesses complain as bitterly as US ones about Chinese ownership rules. Charges of dumping are frequent. China fully exploits the rules of the World Trade Organization — and then ignores them when it suits.
So the prospect of a protracted trade conflict probably presents Chinese leaders with real cause for concern — the more so since the economy is slowing and there are visible cracks in the financial system. Even the most authoritarian regimes fret about their grip on power. Communist Party rule has by and large won acceptance because of accompanying rises in living standards. Mr Xi does not want to test the proposition that his writ would still run unchallenged during an economic slump.
Mr Xi’s China is also unaccustomed to such pressure. For a decade and more it has had more or less a free run on both economics and geopolitics. Whether it was because they were anxious to grab a share of the Chinese market or concerned to lure Beijing into the multilateral system, western governments have been loath to offend. The softly-softly approach is shifting. And Mr Trump’s trade war makes it easier.
And yet. Tempting though it is to say that China is fast emerging as the big loser from Mr Trump’s foreign policy, the reality is more likely to be the opposite. For all that the US president has discomfited Mr Xi, the noise obscures the longer-term impact of American policy. Any short term pain should be set against the immense strategic gain for China flowing from Mr Trump’s worldview. In the inevitable global contest between these two great powers, the US is already surrendering advantage to its rival. Chinese policymakers have long had a plan for global primacy. You could be forgiven for thinking that the White House has decided to lend them a hand.
The US starts out with the huge advantage not just of its military and technological superiority but an unparalleled international alliance system. Economic, defence and security agreements with allies across Asia and the Middle East and military bases in dozens of nations have become part of the architecture of American power. Beijing has only a handful of willing accomplices — think, say, Cambodia — alongside the deference it can buy with foreign investment. You do not find other nations saying they want to copy China.
So how is the US playing this advantage? For all the present let’s-be-nice mood in the White House, Mr Trump is progressively dismantling the pillars of the US-led international order. One way or another the president has undermined the US commitments to climate change, nuclear non-proliferation, Nato, the EU and longstanding treaty relationships with Japan and South Korea. No one can be sure that tomorrow he will not tear up the North American Free Trade Agreement or pull US troops out of the Middle East. The credibility and trust on which US power was built is draining away. If the US does not respect an American-designed order why should anyone else?
At the heart of the current, poisoned debate about global warming lies a paradox. Thanks to the ‘pause’, the unexpected plateau in world surface temperatures which has now lasted for 17 years, the science is less ‘settled’ than it has been for years.
Yet, despite this uncertainty, those who use it to justify a range of potentially ruinous energy policies have become ever more extreme in their pronouncements. Their latest campaign is an attempt to silence anyone who disagrees.
This reached a new and baleful milestone last week, with a report from the Commons Science and Technology Committee saying BBC editors must obtain special ‘clearance’ before interviewing climate ‘sceptics’.
The committee’s chairman, Labour MP Andrew Miller, likened sceptics to the Monster Raving Loony Party, suggesting they should be allowed to express their views with similar frequency. High profile commentators, including the Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey, often describe climate change sceptics as ‘deniers’, on a par with those who reject evidence of the Holocaust.
One Sunday columnist recently insisted the parallel was exact, because the evidence of global warming is as strong as that for Auschwitz.
Academics who deviate from the perceived ‘correct’ line risk vilification. The most recent example is Professor Richard Tol of Sussex University, who had the temerity to remove his name from a UN climate report because he said it was ‘alarmist’.
Another is Prof Roger Pielke Jnr of Colorado. His ‘crime’ is to have published evidence that, so far, hurricanes have not become more frequent, while financial losses from extreme weather have not increased as a result of climate change. His reward has been an organised campaign demanding he be sacked.
The Breakthrough Institute – an influential, and very green – US think tank has described those who try to close down debate in this way as ‘climate McCarthyites’, after the infamous 1950s Senator who sought to root out Communists from American public life. It is an increasingly apt analogy. Miller, Davey and their allies often cite a study showing that 97 per cent of academic papers dealing with climate say that human-induced global warming is real.
But here is the thing: so do almost all of those attacked as ‘deniers’, including Lord Lawson, whose appearance on the Radio 4 Today show in February sparked the current furore over sceptics getting airtime.
Where they differ from the supposed mainstream is not over the existence of warming, but its speed, and how to deal with it. Then, so do many scientists. The ‘pause’ means that the climate computer models, on which most forecasts are based, say the world should already be rather warmer than it is: in one expert’s words, they are ‘running too hot’.
Why is this? Many scientists are engaged in honest attempts to answer this question. Some suggest that the ‘climate sensitivity’ – a measure of how much the world will warm in response to a given increase in carbon dioxide – may be significantly lower than was widely believed only a few years ago. Moreover, the response to rising CO2 adopted thus far palpably has not worked. The emissions cuts agreed by the EU and other countries at the 1997 Kyoto Treaty and imposed by our own Climate Change Act have made energy more expensive, and exported jobs and prosperity to countries such as China – which adds billions of watts of coal fired power to its grid each year. CO2 emissions have continued to rise.
The architects of such policies know they have failed, but they have no alternative except more of the same. Maybe it’s because their argument is weak that they resort to climate McCarthyism. The cost, apart from higher energy bills, is to democracy, and free speech.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) In a story Jan. 22 about the documentary ”Happy Valley” about the Penn State sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press reported erroneously that an attorney for victims in the case, Tom Kline, had viewed and was satisfied with the film. In fact, it was Andrew Shubin, also an attorney for victims in the case, who viewed and was satisfied with the film.
PARK CITY, Utah (AP) – The filmmaker behind the new documentary about the Penn State sexual-abuse scandal says that both the family of Joe Paterno and the lawyer for the victims expressed satisfaction with the film.
”To have total polar opposite perspectives feel a sense of gratification that the film represents their perspective accurately is really something I am proud of,” said documentarian Amir Bar-Lev in an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, where his documentary ”Happy Valley” premiered. Bar-Lev screened the film for Joe Paterno’s widow, Sue, his two sons, Scott and Jay, and attorney Andrew Shubin before it premiered at Sundance. All appear in the film.
”Happy Valley” explores the case that engulfed the town of State College, Penn., where Penn State is based and which is also known as Happy Valley. Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach, was accused of molesting children, and key people, including former head coach Paterno, were said to have turned a blind eye.
