The Complainant is Six Continents Hotels, Inc., of Georgia, United States of America, represented by Robin Blecker & Daley, United States of America.
The Respondent is Ramada Inn, of Michigan, United States of America.
The disputed domain name <holidayinnmichigan.com> is registered with BulkRegister.com.
The Complaint was filed with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on August 22, 2003. On August 22, 2003, the Center transmitted by email to BulkRegister.com a request for registrar verification in connection with the domain name at issue. On August 28, 2003, BulkRegister.com transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact. The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on August 29, 2003. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5(a), the due date for Response was September 18, 2003. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent�s default on September 19, 2003.
The Center appointed Thomas P. Pinansky as the sole panelist in this matter on October 2, 2003. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
(a) The Complainant is a global hotel company and owns, operates or franchises more than 3,300 hotels and over 514,000 guestrooms in nearly 100 countries and territories. Its properties, marketed under the trade name InterContinental Hotels Group, bear well-known hotel brands, such as: CROWNE PLAZA®, HOLIDAY INN®, HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS®, HOLIDAY INN SELECT®, HOLIDAY INN SUNSPREE®, INTERCONTINENTAL®, and STAYBRIDGE SUITES®.
(b) HOLIDAY INN® hotels are located throughout the world in such diverse locations as small towns, major cities, along highways and near airports. With more than 1,567 full-service hotels in over 70 countries, HOLIDAY INN® hotels is one of the Complainant�s flagship brands and is a global hotel brand that is a widely recognized lodging brand.
(c) The Complainant has spent close to US $1Billion worldwide, at a current rate of about US $46 million per year in advertising and promoting the HOLIDAY INN® mark. The Complainant itself and through its franchisees have extensively used the mark HOLIDAY INN® throughout the United States and the world to promote the Complainant�s and its authorized users� goods and services (see Annex 7 of the Complaint).
(d) The Complainant owns all right, title and interest in and to the service mark HOLIDAY INN®, Registration No. 592,539, issued July 13, 1954, in international class 42 in connection with motor hotel services claiming a date of first use of March 1, 1952, and a date of first use in commerce of July 1, 1952 (see Annex 8 of the Complaint). Inclusive of this mark, the Complainant is also the owner of all right, title and interest in and to over 1,200 additional U.S. and foreign trademark and service mark registrations for the mark HOLIDAY INN® (word, and word and design) and various HOLIDAY INN® formative marks as well as pending applications relating to the mark HOLIDAY INN® and variations thereof, in over 180 countries throughout the world, including, but not limited to, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan and the United States (see Annex 8 of the Complaint).
(e) The Complainant also owns over 1,100 domain names, including the domain names <holiday-inn.com>, <holidayinn-hotels.com>, <holidayinntravel.com>, <holidayinnonline.com>, <holidayinnreservations.com> and <holidayinnworldwide.com>, as well as <holidayinndetroit.com>, <holidayinnlosangeles.com> and <holidayinnnewyork.com>, and operates websites associated therewith, which provide a wide variety of information on the Complainant�s and its authorized users� HOLIDAY INN® hotel (see Annex 9 to the Complaint).
(f) A search of the Complainant�s website at "www.holiday-inn.com" shows that the Complainant�s authorized franchisees operate approximately 17 HOLIDAY INN® and HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS® hotels within a 50-mile radius of the Respondent�s address in Flint, Michigan (see Annex 10 of the Complaint). Online business directories and visitors� guides for the local area list both the Respondent and the Complainant�s franchised hotels found within this 50-mile radius as providing conveniently located full-service lodging for cost-conscious travelers (see Annex 10 of the Complaint).
(i) The HOLIDAY INN mark is well known, inherently distinctive and famous, and serves as an identifier of the Complainant�s goods and services, based upon the Complainant�s many years of continuous, widespread use and extensive advertising and promotion under such mark.
(ii) As a result of the Complainant�s widespread and exclusive promotion and use of the mark, the mark has developed significant goodwill in the minds of consumers worldwide, and is a famous mark.
(iii) Without authorization from the Complainant, the Respondent registered the Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com> on February 23, 2000 (see Annex 1 of the Complaint), and the Respondent proceeded to post a website at "www.holidayinnmichigan.com", which promoted the Respondent�s Ramada Inn & Conference Center.
(iv) On December 7, 2001, the Complainant�s in-house counsel sent a cease and desist letter and domain name registration transfer agreement to the Respondent concerning the Respondent�s unauthorized registration and use of the Domain Name (see Annex 4 of the Complaint). A Domestic Return Receipt postcard, which had accompanied the letter, was returned to the Complainant signed and bearing a delivery date of December 15, 2001 (see Annex 4 of the Complaint). No correspondence or other communication was received from the Respondent in response to the December 7, 2001 cease and desist letter.
(v) On May 28, 2002, the Complainant�s outside counsel sent a cease and desist letter via Federal Express to the Respondent regarding the Respondent�s continued unauthorized registration and use of the Domain Name (see Annex 5 of the Complaint). An invoice from Federal Express indicates that the letter was delivered on May 29, 2002, and signed for by a "V. Bailey" (see Annex 5 of the Complaint). No correspondence or other communication was received from the Respondent in response to the May 28, 2002 cease and desist letter.
(vi) On March 24, 2003, the Complainant�s outside counsel received a telephone call from the Respondent, on his own initiative, offering to sell the Domain Name to the Complainant for US $700-$800. He also confirmed that he had registered several other domain names including the Domain Name. The Complainant�s outside counsel proceeded to contact the Complainant concerning the Respondent�s offer. The Complainant declined to accept the Respondent�s offer and has proceeded to file this complaint in response to the Respondent�s unauthorized registration and use of the Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com>. (see Affidavit of Marylee Jenkins, Esq., Annex 12 of the Complaint).
(vii) The Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com> is confusingly similar, if not virtually identical, to the Complainant�s Mark HOLIDAY INN®.
(viii) The Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com>.
(ix) Upon information and belief, the Respondent has registered and is using the Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com> in bad faith.
(x) Upon information and belief, the Respondent registered the Domain Name to prevent the Complainant from reflecting its marks in the corresponding Domain Name and has engaged in a pattern of such conduct.
(xi) Upon information and belief, the Respondent has registered the Domain Name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor.
(xii) Upon information and belief, by using the Domain Name, the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, internet users to its site, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant�s marks as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation and endorsement of its site or of a product or service on its site.
(xiii) Upon information and belief, the Respondent has engaged in "passive holding" of the Domain Name.
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules instructs the Panel to decide the Complaint on the ground of the statements and documents submitted and in accordance with the Policy, the Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable.
In the light of the above, the Panel may draw such inferences from the Respondent�s failure to comply with the Rules as he considers appropriate (see Rule 14(b); see Talk City, Inc. v. Michael Robertson, WIPO Case No. D2000-0009).
The Domain Name is <holidayinnmichigan.com>. As mentioned above, the Complainant owns several trademark registrations for the words " holiday inn" alone or in combination with different words.
The Domain Name is made up of a simple combination of the Complainant�s trademark and the geographical location of Michigan.
Therefore, the only difference between the domain name and the Complainant�s "holiday inn" mark is the addition of the word "Michigan" and the generic top level domain name identifier <com>. The addition of the geographical term "Michigan" does not prevent a finding of confusing similarity. In fact, in the Panel�s review, the addition of the suffix "Michigan" is apt to suggest that the Complainant�s goods and services are provided in that particular location.
This reasoning is consistent with many previous WIPO decisions in which it has been ruled that the addition of a country or a city name does not distinguish the domain name from the trademark (see among other BP p.l.c.v. Kang-Sungkun Portraits Production, WIPO Case No. D2001-1097; Rolls-Royce PLC v. Hallofpain, WIPO Case No. D2000-1709; The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. v Vidudala Prasad, WIPO Case No. D2001-1493).
Therefore the Panel finds that the Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Complainant�s trademarks pursuant to the Policy Paragraph 4(a)(i).
According to Paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy, the Complainant must prove that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name. In connection with the burden of proof, several WIPO decisions have held that "once a Complainant establishes a prima facie evidence showing that none of the three circumstances establishing legitimate interests or rights applies, the burden of production on this factor shifts to Respondent to rebut the showing" (see among others, Universal City Studios, Inc. v. David Burns and Adam-12 Dot Com, WIPO Case No. D2001-0784; see also International Hospitality Management-IHM S.p.A. v. Enrico Callegari Ecostudio, WIPO Case No. D2002-0683).
The Complainant has asserted that the Respondent has no relationship with or authorization from the Complainant for using the "holiday inn" mark; that the Respondent has not been commonly known by the Domain Name and is in fact a franchisee of a competitor; that the Respondent is not, and has never been, commonly known by the Domain Name. The Panel�s view is that these facts must be taken as proven provided that they have not been denied by the Respondent.
On the other hand, the Respondent has not submitted a proper Response, therefore, has failed to invoke any circumstance which could have demonstrated any rights or legitimate interests in the Domain Name under Paragraph 4(c) of the Policy.
Accordingly the Panel holds that the Respondent has no legitimate interests or rights in registering the Domain Name pursuant to Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy.
Both under past UDRP decisions (see for instance Nike, Inc. v. B.B. de Boer, WIPO Case No. D2000-1397; and Carolina Herrera, Ltd. v. Alberto Rincon Garcia, WIPO Case No. D2002-0806) and under the Policy (see Section 2), a well-established principle is that when someone registers a domain name, he represents and warrants to the registrar that, to his knowledge, the registration of the domain name will not infringe the rights of any third party. In the case at issue, the Panel reasonably finds that since the Complainant�s trademarks are very well known worldwide, it is very unlikely that the Respondent, at the time he registered the Domain Name, was not aware that he was infringing the Complainant�s trademarks.
As regards the Respondent�s use of the Domain Name to attract internet users to his competing hotel franchise, the Panel�s view is that, the diversion of the Domain Name to his hotel franchise, a competitor of the Complainant, is consistent with the finding that the Domain Name was registered and is being used in bad faith (see Caledonia Motor Group Limited v. Amizon, WIPO Case No. D2001-0860; Bass Hotels & Resorts, Inc. v. Mike Rodgerall, WIPO Case No. D2000-0568).
By using the domain name, [Respondent has] intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, internet users to [his] website or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant�s mark as to the source, sponsorship, or endorsement of [Respondent�s] website or location, or of a product or service on [Respondent�s] website or location."
The Respondent�s website is clearly intended to attract members of the public who may be wishing to reserve HOLIDAY INN hotel rooms, and then to offer them other hotel rooms and services. This conduct falls squarely within paragraph 4(b)(vi) of the Policy and accordingly the Panel concludes that the Respondent registered and has been using the Domain Name in bad faith.
In addition, the Respondent�s attempt to sell the Domain Name to the Complainant at a value in excess of out-of-pocket expenses is prima facie evidence of bad faith (see EMI PLC v. Jason Mace, WIPO Case No. D2000-0712).
In the light of the above, the Panel concludes that the Complainant has proven bad faith in registration and use on the part of the Respondent.
For the foregoing reasons, the Panel orders that the Domain Name <holidayinnmichigan.com> be transferred to Complainant.

These, along with the large balconies with glass and aluminum railings provide the owners with gorgeous views. Take in the majesty of the city, ocean, and the Intracoastal Waterway.
The homes are prewired for phone and cable hookups, and the kitchen and bathrooms feature designer fixtures. You will find either marble or granite countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, as well. The ceilings, depending on the unit, will be either 10� or 11� high.

Ghana is best place to do business in sub-region – President Akufo-Addo tells Business Forum in Abu Dhabi | GBC Ghana Online – The Nation's Broadcaster
By: Bright Ntramah
https://www.gbcghanaonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Audio-President-Akufo-Addo-speaks-on-doing-business-in-Ghana.mp3
President Akufo-Addo has urged the private sector and investors in the United Arab Emirates to make Ghana their first port of call when venturing into West Africa to do business.
This is because Ghana is the best place to do business in the sub region.
Addressing the UAE-Ghana Business Forum held on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, President Akufo-Addo stated that the Government, since 2017, has put in place measures needed to reduce the cost of doing business, and improve the business environment.
According to the President, "these measures made the Ghanaian economy not only one of the most business-friendly economies in Africa, but also one of the fastest growing economies between 2017 and 2020".
With Government working to restore the nation onto the path of high growth rates experienced prior to the onset of COVID-19 and the Russian/Ukraine war, President Akufo-Addo told the Ghana, UAE Forum that Ghana is seeking collaboration of the IMF to repair, in the short run, public finances, and give credibility to balance of payments, which have taken a severe hit in very recent times.

Athens News Agency: News in English, 09-07-10
Athens News Agency: News in English Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
[01] PM Karamanlis calls for intensified efforts on economy
[02] PASOK leader on Corfu visit
[03] ANA-MPA system upgrade-Temporary service disruption
[04] Decline at ASE opening
Prime minister Costas Karamanlis was briefed on the course of the economy and the national economy and finance ministry's activities, during a visit to the ministry on Friday, where he chaired a two-hour meeting of the ministry leadership comprising minister Yiannis Papathanassiou, the deputy ministers and the secretaries general.
Karamanlis noted afterwards that the global financial crisis has impacted all countries without exception, explaining that the Greek economy was facing severe pressures, on top of its chronic structural weaknessed.
The biggest burden on the Greek economy was the state debt, the servicing of which will require 12 billion euros in 2009 alone, he pointed out.
This year will be a difficult one, the prime minister warned, but added on the upside that Greece is the only European Union member country with a positive growth rate prediction, while unemployment is anticipated at one percentage point below the eurozone average.
"This, however, does not mean that we will be complacent. Our targets are not easy ones, and the first priority is to increase the state revenues" the premier continued, adding that "we are determined to combat tax evasion", which he described as an extremely anti-social attitude and sternly instructed his ministers and deputy ministers to exhaust all penalties provided by law on public servants who violate their responsibilities.
Karamanlis further noted the efforts being made to curb expenditures, stressing that changes and reforms were mandatory, and announced that the government will draft a new salary scale for newly-hired employees, the 'opening' of the so-called closed professions, the abolition and merger of state agencies, checks and controls on medicines, and other steps.
The premer also pointed out that the EU's Third Community Support Framework (CSF) has been completed, while more than 50 percent of the projects included in the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) have already been tendered. Further, regarding the Public and Private Sector Collaborations (SDIT) program, Karamanlis noted that the construction has begun of the first such projects, while from here on one new project will be tendered each month.
Finally, Karamanlis said he called for further intensification of efforts, so that "not a single day, not a single hour, will be wasted".
Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou is visiting the island of Corfu, where he will address an International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies in Education on Friday, organised by Canada's University of Fraser Valley in collaboration with the Ionian University. Papandreou will further take part in a discussion on "The Open School in Greece" and will meet with representatives of the local tourism sector.
Addressing a meeting of party officials in Corfu on Thursday night, Papandreou said that PASOK had achieved a very significant victory in the recent European Parliament elections, which gave the message that an alternative solution existed for the country, and that solution was embodied by PASOK and its efforts.
However, he continued, "we have ahead of us the major battle of the national elections", noting that PASOK has called for early general elections the soonest.
Due to an upgrade to be performed on ANA-MPA's two central servers and storage system, there will be a discontinuation of the renewal/updating of news on the agency's site on the Internet, but also in the direct links via leased lines, beginning at 20:00 at night on Friday, July 10, up to 13:00 on Saturday, July 11. The upgrade is being performed for the national news agency's better provision of services to its subscribers.
We thank you for your understanding.

The father of wantaway New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis does not want his son to play for the Boston Celtics.
Davis is seeking a move away from the Pelicans, with the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers reportedly at the forefront of the high-profile NBA pursuit, after agent Rich Paul revealed the All-Star will not sign a contract extension in New Orleans.
However, there is one team Anthony Davis Sr. would never want his son to play for and it is not going to make Boston fans happy.
"Boston...I would never want my son to play for Boston after what they done to Isaiah Thomas...No loyalty," Anthony Davis Sr. told ESPN. "Guy gives his heart and soul and they traded him...anyone can print that."
Isaiah Thomas led the Celtics to an Eastern Conference final appearance two years ago, but had to miss the last couple of games due to a hip injury.
Thomas ultimately had to have hip surgery and Boston would trade him the next offseason to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of a package for Kyrie Irving in 2016.
Anthony Davis Sr. insisted his opinion of the Celtics is not necessarily how his son feels.
"This is just my opinion, not Anthony's," he said. "I've just seen things over the years with Boston and there's no loyalty."

Reputation and Legacy
Francis D. Cogliano
Paper $25.00
Apr 2008 288 pages ISBN: 9780813927336
Jeffersonian America
Early Republic
In his probing new study, Francis Cogliano focuses on Thomas Jefferson's relation to history, both as the context in which he lived, and as something he made considerable, and conscious, efforts to influence. He was acutely aware that he would be judged by posterity, and he believed that the fate of the republican experiment depended to a large extent on how it was rendered by historians.The first half of the book situates Jefferson's ideas about history within the context of eighteenth-century historical thought. It then considers the efforts Jefferson made to shape the way the history of his life and times would be written: through the careful preservation of most of his personal and public papers, and through the institutions he left behind, including his home, Monticello, and the University of Virginia. The second half of the book considers the results of Jefferson's efforts to shape historical writings about himself and his period, which have issued forth in an unbroken stream from his day to our own. Although Jefferson seemed to have achieved apotheosis in the years following World War II, his rise above controversy was short-lived. Earlier political questions were replaced by arguments over race, class, and gender, and recent scholarship has criticized Jefferson's attitudes and actions with regard to civil liberties, Native Americans, slaves, and women, not least in the context of debates surrounding his relationship with his slave, Sally Hemings. Our complex feelings about Jefferson's relation to these issues are a reflection of the man who helped engineer their place in our historical discourse.

It's the default bitnami charts used. With only one master. I have 2 installs of this prod/pre-prod, on the 2 install 92Go/61go for this file.
So each time I need to change redis of node, or restart redis it's take 30min atm for start.
I have to fix it and keep a file with good start time, go a appendonly file < 5/10go max.
Any idea to solve this on long-term ?
For information: Manual call of BGREWRITEAOF do nothing.
Thanks.

A: Try AOF with RDB-preamble.
We got huge AOF file size decreases with it.

This gives us accurate reproducible physiologic rest position or the position in which measurements of muscle activity is calmest. The ultimate goal is relaxed muscles and relaxed muscles are free from tension and pain and will function properly when chewing, speaking and smiling. Tense muscles can cause head, neck and back pain and this new technology may help relieve some of these symptoms. An orthotic is constructed to fit over the teeth to help the muscles relax at the position as determined by Dr. Widen with the help of the J5. Phase 2 Once symptoms are relieved and the bite has been stabilized, Dr. Widen will move on to the next step to permanently stabilize your bite at the new position, this may include: smoothing and reshaping the enamel of the teeth, removable overlay partials, reconstruction with porcelain crowns/onlays/veneers or orthodontics (Braces).

A soldier has died at Puckapunyal Army base. Picture: Mark Stewart
Australian soldier dies in training exercise
by Rohan Smith
A SOLDIER has collapsed and died during a routine training exercise at an Army base in central Victoria.
The soldier, who has not been named, died yesterday morning at the Puckapunyal Army base, 116km north of Melbourne.
The Department of Defence said the soldier collapsed during training and efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. He was dead before paramedics arrived. The exact cause of death is unknown.
An Australian Army M1A1 Abrams tank fires at targets during Exercise Chong Ju at Puckapunyal training area in May last year.
In a statement, the Department said CPR was performed before paramedics arrived.
"Defence has notified the soldier's family and is providing support to them during this difficult time," a spokesman said.
He said the death was "a tragedy and deeply felt by the Army family".
The Puckapunyal base, roughly 40,000 hectares, opened in 1939 and is one of Australia's biggest field training bases.

We'll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Mark Spitznagel news every morning.
When the coronavirus pandemic sent financial markets tumbling in March last year, fund manager Mark Spitznagel had one of his most profitable periods ever. His Miami-based Universa Investments, which trades options and aims to make "explosive" returns in times of market crisis, posted hefty profits as the S&P 500 index dropped 20 per cent in the first quarter of 2020.
Such returns do not come along every day, even for Spitznagel, an outspoken trader who enjoys being the contrarian. His strategy involves suffering small losses for long periods when markets are buoyant, then making huge returns during very occasional market blow-ups. That, he points out, is almost the mirror image of what most investors are taught to do: make steady gains most of the time but accept the odd huge loss. "When someone wants to bet against a crash, I will take the other side," he says. "I can't have everyone agree with me. I need to be the contrarian, crazy guy that everyone sniggers at.
Dressed in a navy blue polo shirt, Spitznagel, is speaking to the FT by video link from a formal-looking, white-panelled room in his 100-year-old log house on the shores of Lake Michigan. It is one of two homes he owns in Michigan state; the other, a farm with 400 goats that produces award-winning cheese, is a short drive away.
Safe Haven, his book that has just been published, further demonstrates his delight in thinking differently to most other investors. Drawing on logic, probability theory and history, it aims to justify his investment theory and show that most perceived havens investors run to — be they bonds, hedge funds or tail-risk funds — do not work.
He also expresses his disdain for most forms of investing, so much of which he says is "storytelling, empty narrative". There are "frighteningly many ways that the investment industry regularly smokes people with complicated and unfalsifiable (and thus pseudoscientific) theories and cherry-picked market data", he says in the book.
Spitznagel's longtime friend and colleague Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable, puts it more bluntly. "This is [Spitznagel's] monumental 'f*** you' to the investment industry," he writes in the foreword to Safe Haven.
I can't have everyone agree with me. I need to be the contrarian, crazy guy everyone sniggers at
Spitznagel started out in finance at 16, as a clerk for traders who cleared their business through the firm of Everett Klipp. A second world war veteran and family friend, Klipp was a legendary trader on the Chicago Board of Trade and a mentor to young traders. He trained Spitznagel as a teenager, then more formally after he graduated from college and began trading in the bond-futures pit.
Spitznagel recalls eagerly reading research and presenting his findings to Klipp. "He'd laugh and say none of it matters," says Spitznagel. Rather than trying to forecast the future, the key was the ability to take small losses and move on, and not get wiped out by a big market move. That helped Spitznagel develop a philosophy of accepting small losses for a long period in the hope of bigger gains ahead.
Another key encounter came in 1999 at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, where Spitznagel met Taleb, then an adjunct professor. Quickly forming a friendship, the pair drew up plans to start a hedge fund, Empirica, which ran until 2005. Spitznagel describes the experience as "us figuring it out, beta testing".
Spitznagel went on to join Morgan Stanley as a trader for a little over a year before deciding to launch Universa in Santa Monica, California, in 2007. The timing could not have been better. As the global financial crisis hit, Universa made 115 per cent in 2008 — while the S&P 500 lost 38.5 per cent and hedge funds fell 19 per cent. Funds designed to protect against so-called tail events became the height of fashion. Spitznagel bought a mansion in Bel-Air, complete with its own moat, from the singer Jennifer Lopez.
"At no time were we a more contrarian strategy than in 2007," he says. "You could see a lot of complacency. No one [today] has the audacity to question whether the market can fall more than 10 per cent. [In 2007,] we were acutely having to make that case."
Mark Spitznagel beats drum for tail risks as markets stall
In 2014, Universa moved to low-tax Florida and Spitznagel commuted from Michigan on a weekly basis. Now providing hedges for close to $11bn in client assets, his strategy appears to have paid off over the long term. Returns calculated by EY, the consultancy, show his fund made average annual returns between the start of 2008 and the end of 2019 of 105.2 per cent. However, these returns are based on gains from the hedges themselves, rather than the wider portfolio they are protecting, and therefore are hard to compare with the performance of funds in other sectors.
While his strategy is designed to hedge against a market fall, Spitznagel is keen to distance himself from the $3.8tn hedge fund industry, which he says does not hedge and is expensive. "The term 'hedge fund' is a complete misnomer. I can't give you a reason the hedge fund industry should exist," he says. "What hedge funds have going for them is that they lose less in a crash and make less [in normal markets]. It just makes people poorer." Another popular haven, bonds, provide only "low returns in a crash" and investors have "to put a lot" in their portfolios, he adds. "For the rest of the time, the underperformance is costly."
But Spitznagel reserves special ire for the "tail-risk" funds that, along with Universa, became sought after in the wake of the financial crisis, for their perceived ability to protect against market shocks. The strategy, which involves buying expensive put options on stocks, is down 40 per cent since December 2007, according to the CBOE Eurekahedge Tail Risk Hedge Fund index. "It's garbage. They're building a portfolio I would short [bet against]," he says. "The cure should not be worse than the disease."
He is guarded about the secrets behind his own fund's returns. However, a person familiar with the strategy said Universa believes its size can allow it to act like a market-maker, meaning it can buy options more cheaply, and that it is better than rivals at matching hedges to clients' needs.
So what does he make of today's markets, with the S&P 500 not far off its record high in spite of the economic damage from the pandemic? "It's a terrible time for equity investing. It's the worst time for this generation," he says.
Market valuations make things difficult for investors. Valuations may point to low returns in future, but that does not mean markets rise and then simply plateau for several years, he argues. More likely is that markets rise and then fall sharply, for instance. On the other hand, an investor who "thinks they can hide in the weeds" and stay out of the market may eventually be forced to buy stocks to avoid missing out. That could ultimately also prove painful.
As to where markets go from here, Spitznagel, following Klipp's teaching, is wary of making predictions. Unlike many hedge fund managers, he claims no special foresight in spotting the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. But he does point to signs of investor over-exuberance. "It's very, very similar" to 2007, he says, although credit spreads and equity and bond valuations "are far more stretched today; NFTs [non-fungible tokens for digital assets] would have been laughed away in 2007".
Much of the blame, he says, can be heaped squarely on central banks, which "are acting like it's an emergency, despite [asset] valuations". Spitznagel points to the rescue in the late 1980s of Continental Illinois National Bank, which he says was the start of the "too big to fail" policy. The idea that the US Federal Reserve would provide a backstop against crises "let more and more irresponsibility happen", he says. "Investing is no longer about having to think about systemic risks in that way."
He is careful not to say when a crash might happen, but insists there must come a time "when you can't take on more debt". He adds: "It's a very strong view I have. What has happened in the past decades is . . . laying the groundwork for the next crash."

Global Affairs Office organized a Global Geopark High Island Reservoir Tour on 3 March 2019 (Sunday). The High Island Reservoir East Dam is in the only part of Hong Kong Global Geopark that is reachable on foot. It is the best location to observe Hong Kong's world class hexagonal rock columns at close range. The scenery is surreal and made even more so by the presence of thousands of dolosse blocks (huge cement barriers shaped like jacks) placed along the coast to break sea waves.


Read on to discover the daily word counts of several prolific authors (some of these may surprise you!), and the best way to set your own daily word count goal.
Just because someone is a prolific writer doesn't mean that they are hammering out 5,000+ words a day.
Over twenty years I have probably averaged five hundred words a day for five days a week. I can produce a novel in a year, and that allows time for revision and the correction of the typescript. I have always been very methodical, and when my quota of work is done I break off, even in the middle of a scene. Every now and then during the morning's work I count what I have done and mark off the hundreds on my manuscript.
Of course, there are writers like Stephen King (the author of 54 novels and nearly 200 short stories) who set the bar much higher.
I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words… On some days those ten pages come easily; I'm up and out and doing errands by eleven-thirty in the morning… More frequently, as I grow older, I find myself eating lunch at my desk and finishing the day's work around one-thirty in the afternoon. Sometimes, when the words come hard, I'm still fiddling around at teatime. Either way is fine with me, but only under dire circumstances do I allow myself to shut down before I get my 2,000 words.
Here is an inspiring list that shows the daily word counts of thirty-nine different writers.
You might be a Stephen King or a Graham Greene. Perhaps you might even start out with a 500-word goal and gradually work your way up to 2,000 words.
The important thing is to set a manageable goal that you know you can easily reach, and then make sure you show up at your computer to type out those words every single day.
If you're only going to write when you're inspired, you may be a fairly decent poet, but you will never be a novelist — because you're going to have to make your word count today, and those words aren't going to wait for you, whether you're inspired or not. So you have to write when you're not "inspired." … And the weird thing is that six months later, or a year later, you're going to look back and you're not going to remember which scenes you wrote when you were inspired and which scenes you wrote because they had to be written.
Gaiman is specifically addressing novelists but his words apply to any kind of aspiring writer.
If we want to improve our craft, we have to practice day in and day out.
Whatever our writing dreams may be (perhaps writing a nonfiction book or a novel), we need to break them down into easy, actionable steps. By setting ourselves a word count goal, we make our dreams attainable.
As we have seen, each writer needs to determine the minimum word count goal that is best for him or her. Though we should never shy away from challenging ourselves, we do need to be sure we are not demanding the impossible.
Personally, I am not yet at the stage where I can hammer out 2,000 words every day like Stephen King does. Sure, there are days where I reach that goal just fine, but that is not true for every single day.
So I have decided to set my goal to a minimum of 500 words like Graham Greene. Once that has become a daily habit where I am easily breezing through those 500 words each morning, I will push myself to aim a little higher.
Determining a realistic goal is the easy part. Following through is much harder.
To get myself into the habit of writing at least 500 words every morning, I've begun keeping a journal on my computer. I used to love keeping a physical journal, but my days are much busier now, and I find that I can write much faster when I am typing.
I use an app called Day One that has a simple and elegant interface. The app for the computer doesn't currently have a word count calculator, but I do not mind as it means I can write without pressure and tally up my word count afterwards (I find that I often end up writing more than 500 words).
You could probably journal in a Word Document if you like. The trick is to just start writing.
Usually, I write about my day or I may start fleshing out ideas for blog posts or for my novel. However, here's the key: nothing that I write in the journal will be published.
This means that I don't need to stress out about each sentence. It helps me to just spill words out on the screen and not be bothered with perfectionism.
After I complete my 500 words in the journal, I can move on to my other writing projects. My writing muscle is warmed up, and I feel confident and happy that I've already ticked off 500 words.
Maybe you decide to try journaling or perhaps you prefer jumping into your other writing projects right away. Regardless of which method you choose, if you follow through every single morning or afternoon or evening, despite the distractions and the craziness of your everyday life, you will gradually develop a daily writing habit.
And that means that you will also have developed an incredible amount of focus and determination and passion for your craft.
That is the secret to becoming a truly prolific and successful writer.
What is your daily word count goal? If you enjoyed this post, be sure to leave a comment and share with someone you would like to inspire.
Yes, writing a novel seems like such an overwhelming task, and yet in the end it only takes one small step each day. Thanks for your comment!
Hi, Nicole! Thanks for the encouraging article! You have inspired me to set a minimum word count for my daily writing. Does having the words in your head waiting to be written down count? LOL. I'm going to try starting out at 500 words daily as well as it seems pretty manageable. I think your comment here is insightful: "If we want to improve our craft, we have to practice day in and day out." So true. If we want to be an outlier or even come close to being one, we have to put the hours in.
I am so glad you found it inspiring! Yes, I have found 500 words to be the perfect length — it's neither too short nor too long. When I reach 500 words, I feel like I've produced something I can be proud of in a reasonable amount of time. All the best with your writing endeavors!
Good article. Reinforces my resolve to write every day.
I participated in NaNoWriMo six times now which meant cranking out 2000 words a day. I decided I wanted to keep the momentum going after NaNo so I have challenged myself to keep bumping up my "normal" daily goal. Currently I have 500 words as sort of my bare minimum like for on weekends or busy days, but can usually get to 1000 and often beyond as my new normal.
Thanks so much for your comment, Kaye! I am glad you enjoyed the article. Wow, that is impressive that you've done NaNoWriMo six times. I've participated two or three times and agree that it is a wonderful way to get into the daily writing habit. I'd love to write 1,000 words every morning as my normal too. Wishing you all the best with your writing projects!
Hi, Cynthia! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. 🙂 Yes, it can be so difficult to squeeze in writing time when there are so many other important things vying for our attention. I am planning to write a post about finding time to write when our lives are so busy — there usually is always a little window of free time that we can use for writing time. 🙂 So glad to hear you found the post inspiring & I hope you will be able to find time to do a little writing for yourself. It is so very rewarding.
Thank you so much for subscribing! 🙂 It's so lovely to have you on the newsletter list!
Hi, Nicole. I am multiversodb from Instagram. This is a very thorough post. For me, it is difficult setting a precise number but I try my best to get to 1,000 words daily. There are days when I write more but this is my magic number. I agree with you that we have to hone our craft. There are days where I just meditate and listen to myself and there I find newborn ideas or concepts to continue writing. Again very good post. Great to connect with you in here as well. Just subscribed to your blog.
Thank you so much for commenting and subscribing, Dolores! 🙂 I am so glad we connected on Instagram. That is wonderful that you are able to write 1,000 words daily. I've been writing consistently each day this month, and I've been noticing that my daily word count is slowly increasing so hopefully 1,000 words will become my new normal. 🙂 It is true, though, that sometimes it is good to take a day off to let your brain have time to think about all of the things you have been writing and to be able to come up with new ideas. Thanks again for your comment!
Great piece Nicole. I love the idea of baby steps. Your photos are amazing too! Well done on inspiring me to at least think about getting back to my novel.
Thanks so much, Nadia! 🙂 The photos are from a website called Pixabay. There is a link to it on my resources page. That makes me so happy to hear I have inspired you to think about your novel. I am looking forward to reading more of your writing!
I really enjoyed your post, Nicole 🙂 and I couldn't agree more on setting a daily word count. That's what helped me write my first novel last year. I joined an online Twitter writing group – 500 words a day – and that transformed the way I think. Some days those words were hard, but some days I'd pass 1000 and not notice. In less than half a year I had 82k and my book was finished. Using the same process I completed the sequel by the end of the year. That one was 94k. So yes, this system works!
Hi, Beverly! I am so glad to hear you enjoyed it. 🙂 Might you share the Twitter group? I've joined a Facebook group for writers where the goal is also to write 500 words a day. It's been so motivating! Thank you for sharing your story. It's very inspiring to me as I am working on my first novel right now. All the best with your third novel!

I think that perfectionism is a particular form of unhappiness. If you think about it, it is, by definition, never being satisfied with what you've just done. It's being really driven by a fear of failure or a fear of disappointing yourself or another person. It's really important for us to try and guide our kids away from perfectionism when we can. Because perfectionists tend to be anxious or depressed. They are much more likely to commit suicide in college when things go wrong. It is a pretty serious issue that we think of incorrectly. We assume that a person's perfectionism is, in part, responsible for their success. In fact, we know that perfectionism tends to detract from a person's success. When we redirect that energy that was going towards anxiety and not feeling very satisfied, to whatever the task at hand is, people tend to flourish. Some kids are naturally predisposed to be more perfectionistic. We, as parents, can help those kids in a variety of ways. I think the most important way is to not expect our kids to be perfect. We need to teach them that it is totally okay to make mistakes. In fact, we often learn life's best lessons when we make mistakes. Sometimes a B+ is a real cause for celebration and not something that we need to buckle down and work harder.

One Day Beginners Life Drawing workshop with Julia Burton:
"I loved every minute of your class! Even those bits when I felt a little (well quite a bit) paralysed with nerves. You really relaxed the group and brought out the best in us - certainly me - amazing when I look back on my pics and wish I'd taken a video at the end to show just how wonderfully you show cased our work and really made us see things in a different way and appreciate light and dark! Wasn't it an incredible journey!" N. Christie
"Thank you very much for a great day. I really enjoyed how you structured the day. It was especially good for me to do the short quick exercises using different materials. It highlights to me how my 'need to get it right gets in the way of my creativity. I really liked having the music in the background and the way you worked with the light on our last exercise. I would like to do a day again...." V. R.
"The Art Stables is the most wonderful spacious, light and airy space that anyone could wish for. The classes provide a lovely, environment, suitable for beginners or more experienced students alike." Eva Davies
"Julia is a great instructor who sets good exercises and gives valuable feedback." Simone Nyman
"It's wonderful, I really enjoy it" Angela P. Clay Sculpture Student.
"I am delighted that the Art Stables has opened, giving me an opportunity to once again try my hand at oil painting. It is nearby and the studio is a comfortable place to work in, light and airy, with large windows and good use of sinks, taps for cleaning brushes etc. Also the hot water urn for tea and coffee making." Rose Kochane.
What's it like working during Covid with safety restrictions in place?
"Good provision of hand gel. We are all encouraged to wear masks and reminded to wear them properly over your nose. Jess wears a mask instead of a visor, which makes me feel safer. There is very good ventilation, and we are always social distancing." Avigail O
"Brilliant teaching in a very Covid safe environment. So great to be here with a live model." Ruth
"I feel very safe and happy to be here. Good social distancing and COVID safe." Christine L
"It feels good to be here, and we feel that the precautions which are being taken are thorough." Ruth S
"The Art Stables provides a generous space and good facilities and materials. Covid safety is paramount and all government guidelines are in place to keep everyone safe.
The Intuitive Abstract Painting course has been a joy to me, and is my first experience with acrylics. Every member of the friendly group is encouraged and inspired during the lesson by the teacher, Julia. I am very much a beginner and have learnt so many techniques and experimented with numerous ideas on the course. But, however you like work is taken into account and there is absolutely no pressure to conform to a way of working, or indeed what type of paintings you produce.
For me, this is what Art is all about. I strongly recommend the Art Stables as a great facility, but particularly this course for it's balance of teaching and freedom to express yourself." C.Clark
"I have only been coming for a couple of terms, but I really enjoy being a part of this artistic team. The tutor is so kind and caring and always has a kind word as he explains the right way to do things. It really is GREAT therapy!" S. Green
"I am so pleased I found this place. Everything is very well thought out at The Art Stables and it's a pleasure to come here." Marie Odman.

Some days are just plain, flat out hard to seek the Lord. Yet, when we find just a few moments to sneak away and sit in His presence, He always shows up. Finding the times to seek the Father's face will result in intimacy, deepened relationship, and a heart that is filled to overflowing. Sneaking away with the Lord is like sneaking that piece of yummy chocolate!! Delicious and satisfying!
Yesterday morning Emma woke up just about the time that I did. Needless to say, those are the days when I don't get my "alone" time. Therefore, my day didn't go as planned. I was successful in accomplishing my "The Mommy Prep Plan" (my 12 week fitness and nutrition plan for mommy's to be-or anyone, really). But I didn't get that sweet time with my Lord.
I decided to do something I normally don't do. I texted Robert and asked him if I could be selfish for the night and just sneak away to worship the Lord for a few minutes when he came home. Robert obviously said yes. He is such an amazing husband!
So when Robert walked in the door, I had the house cleaned and dinner ready. We ate dinner together as a family. After dinner I snuck away to our bedroom. I had my Bible, although I didn't really use it. I had my iphone for youtube worship music. And I had my heart. That's it.
Question: How do your days look? Can you find just a few moments to sneak away with the Lord and sit in His presence? With no agenda, no to-do's, but just you and the Father. Sitting with each other "face to face" and seeking His heartbeat.
In my relationship with the Lord there have been times that I have snuck away to the bathroom, my car, my closet, etc. just to seek the Lord. What are some creative hiding spots that you have with the Lord? Share with us your secrets of how you sneak away with the Father to seek His face. I would love to hear them!


JRPG Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland is seeing the light of day on Tuesday 21st May according to Koei Tecmo. A sequel to the PS3 Arland trilogy - available individually or in a Deluxe Pack on Switch - sees you controlling a young woman named Elmerulia Lulua Fryxel, an apprentice alchemist.
Lulua studies diligently to fulfill her dream of becoming a great alchemist just like her mother, Rorolina Frixell; but during her training Lulua discovers a mysterious Codex, awakening an ancient power within her that enables Lulua to decrypt but a single page with many more riddles for her to unravel. Players will be tasked with performing actions focused around the core Atelier series gameplay Gathering, Battle, and Synthesis to allow them to decipher more of the text, as well as learn exciting new types of alchemy.
There are a few sparse details on Koei Tecmo America's website along with the pretty pictures we've reproduced here. No word on pricing yet, though.
Are you a fan of the series? Does this trailer get you in the mood to return to that world? Share your impressions below.
Cool. Can't wait to see the final release.
I've never played an Atelier game. I'd really like to give the Arland trilogy a go if it wasn't so incredibly expensive for a digital exclusive. Would be nice if they put it on sale leading up to the release of this.
nice i'll check it out, even if the trilogy is a steep 80 bucks just to catch up.
I've been eyeing this franchise with some befuddlement for a while now. What is it? I know it's an RPG, but I can't tell what the gameplay's like from videos. If anyone's played these, if they could give me a brief summary of the gameplay, that'd be appreciated. Also, if I could find out what it is you like about the series, that'd be nice too. I will admit, it looks like it possibly wouldn't appeal to me, but you can never be completely sure of that with RPGs.
@BenAV I agree, I'd love to get into the series but that price tag is frankly crazy.
I loved the arland triology. But the price really is bs. Especially since there was an appropriately priced collection for the PS3.
I also have been eyeing the series and would like a good summary of what to expect. It seems like something I would enjoy.
@Arcamenel Atelier is a slower paced rpg, with a heavy focus on crafting. E. G. If you encounter a boss which is too hard, tge solution is not to level, but to craft better equipment (armir/bombs etc).
The story is usually not big. In most games you goal is "just" to fulfill the dream of your main character,like becoming a adventurer, explore the world, find your missing sister. Sometimes yiu also have to save the world, but usually it is not.
The main appeal for these games are the crafting and the characters. Usually the characters are very likable and you want to help them. The slower pace of the game is also a nice contrast to a typical RPG.
A very endearing trailer and a damn grand protagonist name. XD As I've mentioned before, I'm a loooong way from Arland games and most other flagships in the Atelier binge queue, but I'm really glad all this stuff is landing on Switch.
@Orin41 I've only played some of the very first game so far, but AFAIK many staples apply to the others down the road (sans the assignment deadlines which I hear were ditched at some point). Basically, it's a JRPG series where item crafting plays the first fiddle. You can travel to various locations, battle your way out of dangerous encounters, gather a party of other characters - but it's not about saving the world or something like that per se. It's about taking orders, seeking and collecting ingredients, helping townspeople, solving some mysteries here and there while at it, unlocking new recipes and crafting, crafting, crafting. Needless to say, there are things to craft that will prove handy or life-saving in expeditions as well.
A good few of the latest games are available on Vita and now on Switch. There's also an upcoming spinoff this spring (Nelke and the Legendary Alchemists) where the protagonist can't do alchemy herself but recruits, sponsors and aids alchemist girls from across the franchise to build out and develop her town. If you have the means and would prefer something school-themed instead, two more spinoffs (Mana Khemia dilogy) are on PS2 and the first of them can still be bought off PS Store in its PSP incarnation. At least in the US.
PreOrdered the Japan release since it has extras with it. Haven't heard of a NISAmerica or other planned US release yet.
Will this have English voice acting? That's one of the best parts about these games, IMHO, and not having that in the last game was a big letdown!
@nhSnork Kind of sounds like Fantasy Life, except without a big focus on the combat-oriented lives. I did enjoy being a miner, blacksmith, carpenter and chef in that. Well, all right, then. It's good to be a little laid back, sometimes. I just might pick this up, then.
@keihtg my guess is it will have Japanese voice with Japanese/English txt option.
@BenAV I'm sure u already know this, but the Atelier trilogy pack is on sale as of right now, though I don't think it's very much. something between 10%-30% off. Also congrats to this article not having a comments section full of arguing and complaining!
Sounds pretty neat as long as the main JRPG mechanics are modern.
@BKPyrexx Sadly the sale is only in America though and is only 15% off. I could buy American eShop credit to buy it from there but with the currency conversion and markup price on codes online, it probably wouldn't end up being much cheaper for me. Although apparently I still have $33.56 in my US account which I completely forgot about so that makes it slightly more tempting, haha.
@BenAV oh sorry bout that.
@BKPyrexx All good. Thanks for the heads up. It's a bit cheaper to begin with before factoring in the sale price in the US eShop so I'm definitely tempted to grab it now.
