Hello, sugars!
I cam see recently every online shops are all about matte lip creams! And I think there's this trend going and it seems most brands came out with their own matte lip cream.
L.A. Girls USA Cosmetics
"Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss"

Despite it's chubby tube, the applicator inside is actually very firm and fine enough to draw in your lips without messing everything up!
Especially with dark colored lip product like this, accurate application is definitely needed because it's really easy for the product to get off your lips line!
The product itself, amazing. Lip creams are mostly have awesome pigmentation, and so this one does. Also, not to be confused with the name that contain "gloss" on it, this product has 100% matte finish. I think they put "gloss" because it does look like a lip gloss more than a lipstick. I don't know if this just me, but I'm kinda confused because when I tried it turn out 100% matte and I was like.. "where's the gloss..?"
Now, to compare Korean brand's lip cream to American / Western brand product is that Korean brand's lip creams are mostly still promote "moisturizing" effect on them, thus making their lasting power much, much weaker than the western brands.
Take 3CE lip lacquer or Etude House's Liquid Lips, comparing to this product. Sure they have the same matte & creamy texture, but you definitely can't compare the lasting power because this L.A Girl Matte Pigment Gloss stays on for like 8++ hours on my lips, even after a very brutal udon eating fiesta I had. But, in comparison, 3CE's and Etude House's are creamy enough for people with dry lips comfortably wear it. I'm just going to state it here because obv people are going to ask anyway since I mostly do Korean brand products review! :)
Now, back to the product review! The product itself is very creamy and easy to apply, very evenly. I think the lip swatch above is the prettiest swatch I ever did. Don't you think??? :")
Personally, for the shade I LOVE IT SO MUCH. The ol shop owner actually recommend me to try this one because this particular brand have darker shade, even though I was eyeing my eyes on other product (it was a sleek product!) - in which I chose a lighter shade. She was like, come on try this one, the shade is much darker and I think you'll like it. I was like, ok. AND SHE SENT BOTH ITEMS FOR ME. So much emotion ㅠㅠ
Oh! Do you notice HOW WHITE DOES MY TEETH LOOK. Awesome shade, not only it brightens up my complexion, IT BRIGHTENS UP MY TEETH :"))))
This L.A. Girls Matte Pigment Gloss is honestly great for everyone, they have 16 shades from light to dark (this one is not even the darkest). Though, they apply quite thickly so people who just into liquid lip product might feel "too makeupy", also they are kinda sticky and the stickiness didn't really came off even after a heavy meal, but also is the color, they didn't wear off.
Because they dries matte, very, very matte, it is best for people with dry lips to exfoliate before and moisturize well!
I Freakin' love this product. And I would say I love this product 85% because of the shade and 15% for the product itself. During the day, I feel that my lips are sticky, but I could just brush it off because the awesome lasting power and the perfect application I can make from this product!
Especially with this dark color, I don't really want to maintain it during the day! I just wish it was there as long as I need it (and this product really does that - without bleeding out!). Of course when it's the end of the day, you have to really check does it came off perfectly because it really doesn't come off :p
Wait, did I say that this product is super affordable? USD 5 on their website and IDR 85.000 at @SakuraBlossomShop!

Book Book Review, Title Heart Of Darkness, Author Joseph Conrad, Rating 5.0, Heart out of darkness
Heart Of Darkness
Joseph Conrad
Book Review
In Joseph Conrad's classic novella, Heart of Darkness, the sailor Marlow serves as the author's version of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, compelled to tell his story of conscience to whatever audience he finds. The story he tells is indeed dark, and indeed about the heart, albeit mostly the lack thereof. Conrad takes apart the European colonial enterprise, particularly the carving-up of Africa in the nineteenth century, and strips bare all of the tales of adventure from those times and places, along with the high-flown language of imperialism which was used to mask the utter barbarity of the undertaking.
The story takes place in Central Africa on a great river, where dominant Europeans dehumanized native Africans so as to enrich themselves with ivory. (This story is based on Conrad's experiences in the Belgian Congo Free State during the late 1800's.) He reveals the arrogant and amoral elitism which employed high-flown causes and euphemistic language to explain away the theft of land and resources from natives. It is easy to recognize the twentieth century dismissal and destruction of the Untermenschen by Nazi Germany in this European treatment of the natives, built on pure indifference to what should have been a civilized and Christian concern for life, family and health; Europeans systematically overworked, underpaid, starved, enslaved, and killed. The result? Europe became materially richer, and native cultures were maimed or destroyed, along with many millions of people.
Marlow's path leads inescapably to Kurtz, renowned for his mastery of colonial ivory trade, expected thereby to be elevated to high position. As it becomes clear to Marlow that the Kurtz, in this time and place, is a man of great talents and ambition, so much so that he yearns to meet him and learn from him, the sailor is confronted with the means and morality that Kurtz employs to high success, and finally the man himself. In Kurtz he finds a heart mired in darkness, the blackness amplified as it is hidden from societal view on the dark Continent, a man who subverts moral suasion to terrible ends, for the sake of? . . . more ivory.
In the telling, Marlow's story also reveals a heart out of darkness: his own. Marlow's initial plans were to profit from colonial opportunities, and his own prejudices were not initially respectful of the native people. But he was unable to stomach cold cruelty in the name of advantage: he did not become brutal, but despaired over the brutality he surveyed. Marlow's witness and recognition of cynical inhumanity was not itself a cynical exercise: As long as there are those who refuse to hard-heartedly exploit the relative weakness of others, there is hope for a world with less ruthless destruction and one-sided profit.
It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream--making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams...No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream-alone...
Conrad's skills as a novelist are on display here: This is tremendous writing, even more extraordinary as it was written in Conrad's third language, English.
Is the book hard to read? If only because the subjects are contempt for the lives and property of the other, and acquisitive savagery. Conrad does not shrink from his psychological description of the thoughts that are offered in the exercise of gain without moral restraint. His protagonist Marlow describes "the horror! The horror!" (page 215)
This novella maintains a passion and raison d'etre similar to Solzhenitsyn's master work, The Gulag Archipelago, which at many times the length of Heart of Darkness, retained a burning outrage at the deliberate destruction of Russians by their own government, and spelled out a truth of human existence: We can choose to be good to one another, or we can choose to destroy each other. Both are books that tell not only dark and ultimately unfathomable tales of inhumanity, but also of counter-currents of humanity, the impulse to treat others as fellow human beings, to share rather than to dominate. It has always been and will always be a choice.
Thanks to my brother Craig and my friend Tim, who were recently telling me how much they admired Joseph Conrad's writing, stimulating me to finally read some of his books for myself.

But instead of sitting at that desk and taking it easy, Regan spends eight hours a day in his shop. He's making six roll-top desks all at once -- one for each of his five children, plus a spare.

Top 3 Favorite Kinds of Food
Amanda - Italian (pasta, cheese, and sauce - what's not to love!), Chinese (fried rice, chicken with broccoli - yummy!), American (hamburgers, hot dogs, barbecue - all the great foods of a backyard cookout!)
Sean - Classic Australian foods - I have provided links to each to help explain what each item is. Meat Pies, Sausage Rolls, Rooster Rolls (I found this blog page who explains the rooster roll so well)
First 3 Things You Do in the Morning (Weekdays)
Amanda - Shower, MakeUp, Hair (I have the same routine every single morning)...all this happens with the local news in the background
Sean - Get dressed, Brush my teeth, feed the dog (It doesnt take me long to get ready so I have less things to do)
Last 3 Things You Do at Night (Weekdays)
Amanda - Pack lunch for the next day (one less thing to do in the morning), set the alarm (and dread it going off at 4:50), read (best way to relax from a long day)
Sean - Lock the doors/turn off lights etc, Brush teeth, Read (need to unwind)
3 TV Shows you NEVER Miss
Amanda - Top Chef, Project Runway, and Castle...it is a great week when all these shows are running new episodes, like right now!!
Sean - I prefer to watch TV shows on DVD or Netflix so I can watch them back-to-back, rather than stretched out like the TV does. The only show I am currently watching in the current season is "The Walking Dead"
3 Places You Want to Visit
Amanda - I can only pick three!?!? This is going to be hard. Ireland definitely (with stops in Scotland and London because they are close by)...Egypt (to see the pyramids)...Russia (specifically Moscow and St. Petersburg)
Sean - Germany (to drink the beer), Monte Carlo (to see the Formula 1 track), and Port Macquarie, Australia in May (to participate in the IronMan triathlon)
3 People You Can Always Count On
Amanda - Again, I can only pick three?!?! I am blessed to have many people in my life that I can count on. The top three on the list would be Sean (my hubbie is amazing!), my mom (because there are some days, regardless of how old you are, when a girl needs her mommy), and my dad (because I have no problem being 33 years old and a daddy's girl!)
***Honorable Mention goes to all my amazing friends who are there for me whenever I need them
Sean - Amanda, and my two In Laws. They are family to me and they would help me in any situation.
Our favorite question to answer was the three places we want to visit, so we are asking that question of you all. Where are three places you want to visit?
Happy Sunday!

In September of last year we reaffirmed that Apache Spark will replace MapReduce as the general purpose data processing engine of Apache Hadoop. At the same time we announced the One Platform Initiative to sharpen Cloudera and the Community's focus towards maturing the enterprise readiness of Spark, as a cohesive component of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. After all, at Cloudera we work with over 180 enterprise customers running Spark in production – often for large-scale, mission critical workloads – which gives us enhanced insight into the key areas where Spark needs to grow to better support these use cases.
Since the announcement Cloudera and the ever-expanding Spark community have been very busy. The community released two new versions: Spark 1.5 and Spark 1.6, and we are hard at work on the next major upgrade of Spark, version 2.0. Hive-on-Spark graduated from Cloudera Labs and went GA with the recent release of Cloudera 5.7. We are already seeing tremendous adoption across many workloads and inside more organizations. Our aim is to cement Apache Spark as a first-class citizen in the Hadoop ecosystem and uplevel its role in the Cloudera Enterprise platform as the primary execution engine.
One Platform Initiative: Notable Wins
The One Platform Initiative consisted of four pillars that highlighted the critical areas where Spark needed to mature to fully support enterprise requirements: management, security, scale, and streaming.
Since September, we have made impressive progress along each of these pillars:
Security: Spark makes a major leap forward with its 1.6 release in regards to security and can now be used for workloads even in highly regulated environments. The key improvement was encryption of data over-the-wire, i.e. data being transmitted over the network between the nodes of a Spark application. Intermediate shuffle files can be encrypted as well. Due to the "in-memory" tag that is associated with Spark, people often forget that every shuffle operation entails writing data to disk, and that data also needs to be encrypted. We worked with our colleagues at Intel to deliver encryption of on-disk shuffle files using libraries that can leverage AES-NI instructions present on Intel processors, which provide special optimizations for high-performance encryption workloads.
Streaming: Spark Streaming has established itself as the de facto tool for processing continuous streams of data. We identified in-memory state management optimizations as an area for further improvement. The Spark Community has delivered with flying colors, with a new optimized API called the mapWithState() API, which can deliver 10x higher performance than the previous API for in-memory state management.
Scale: A large proportion of Spark applications are written in PySpark, which is not surprising given the popularity of Python in the data science community and the popularity of Spark for data science. However the performance of UDFs or Lambda functions in PySpark is far from optimal due to architectural issues around JVM-Python interoperability and the high cost of moving data between processes. However, a shared in-memory columnar data format can enable more efficient data interchange. In February Cloudera, alongside the community, announced the Apache Arrow initiative to define and standardize a columnar in-memory data format specification, which will be leveraged to improve the scale and performance of PySpark.
Management: There are new capabilities that will surely bring a smile to administrators managing large multi-tenant Spark clusters. Spark applications can often be memory intensive, which can make it a challenge to set memory parameters appropriately and to understand how and where memory is being utilized. Spark 1.6 takes a significant step forward by removing the need to configure separate caching and execution memory segments, and by adding metrics to track per-operator memory. Secondly, for data scientists who are used to a wide array of Python libraries, we partnered with Continuum Analytics to offer one-click deployment of Anaconda Python environments on CDH clusters via Cloudera Manager.
A New Pillar of the Initiative: Cloud
We're excited to announce the addition of a new pillar: Cloud. A growing number of customers are running Spark in public clouds, and there are many opportunities for enhancing Spark to better leverage the unique characteristics of these cloud environments. Some of our focus areas include:
Spark on Transient Clusters: Spark jobs in particular can take advantage of the transient capabilities of deploying on the cloud, with periodically scheduled jobs able to run on clusters that are spun up when required, and decommissioned when the job is done. Significant improvements can be made to enable easier debugging and analysis of Spark jobs on transient clusters, even after these clusters are terminated.
Elasticity: One advantage of running in the public cloud is the ability to provision and acquire new resources on-demand. In such a world, isn't it futile if one has to pre-configure a cluster for each Spark application, with the exact number of executor nodes and memory? We aim to allow Spark jobs to seamlessly grow and shrink the cluster according to the resource demands of the job.
Spot Instances for Cost-Effectiveness: The cost (pardon the pun) you pay for using spot instances is that they can get revoked when demand goes up. This is not a problem for Spark Executor nodes. However, if the Driver node is running on a spot instance, which is suddenly yanked away, it may lead to a lot of redundant recomputation of data, increasing job runtime and thus more time and money spent. Hence, Spark and the underlying resource management layer need to be optimized to leverage spot instances more effectively.
Innovation at the Edge Complements Innovation at the Core
In addition to leading and innovating in core Spark, Cloudera is also focused on building components that are critical enablers of the architectures and use cases being implemented with Spark. To this end, we are excited to be working on an open source Apache licensed REST web service, called Livy, for managing long running Spark Contexts and submitting Spark jobs. Livy makes Spark development easier, by providing a secure, multi-tenant, and fault-tolerant way of communicating with Spark Contexts over REST. It effectively provides an easy interface for end-user applications to leverage Spark, thus enabling new use cases and architectures. Livy has a budding developer community, which includes employees from several companies, including Cloudera, Microsoft, and Intel. However, more on that in the near future.
By delivering on all five pillars and continuing a healthy cadence of development we believe that Spark will continue to advance the capabilities of each of Hadoop components as Spark becomes a first class citizen in the application stack and the dominant data processing engine in Hadoop. Expect to hear more from us around One Platform and further Spark integrations in the near future. To learn more about Apache Spark or enroll in Spark Training visit our website.

Anyone reading my previous two "Diary" offerings knows we have two different plot lines working toward dramatic resolution by Friday. Plot No. 1 centers on the Skokie Indians 12-year-old All Star team's effort to perform well on the baseball diamond at this week's Cooperstown Dreams Park Tournament. My son Rob plays on the Indians, and I help coach the squad. Plot No. 2 centers on my efforts to meet a Yankee favorite from my childhood, Clete Boyer. Upon arriving in Cooperstown this week, I learned that Clete is the proprietor of the Hamburger Hall of Fame restaurant a few miles south of town on Route 28. I'm happy to report that on Tuesday, each plot moved a little bit closer to what may be successful resolution.
First, the tournament. Yesterday morning our team beat California's Powry Flames by the score of 9-1. Then, in the afternoon game the boys spotted the Beechmont, Ky., Lightning three runs before rallying to win 5-4. These victories were particularly gratifying because Rob broke out of a month-long slump at the plate to contribute three solid, important hits. His relief was exceeded only by the relief of his parents and 16-year-old sister, Nora. Entering Wednesday's competition, our record now stands at four wins, two losses, placing us somewhere in the top third of the 48 teams. After a seventh game, all teams will be seeded for a single-elimination tourney to crown a champion.
Clete Boyer, the object of my second quest, knows the meaning of the word "championship." The slick-fielding third baseman played in five consecutive World Series for the Yankees from 1960 to 1964. I didn't meet him on Tuesday, but I came close. The Skokie entourage that traveled to Cooperstown for the tournament rented the Hamburger Hall of Fame for a party Tuesday night. Clete was supposed to have been there, but he was under the weather. A disappointment, to be sure, but in his stead Clete was represented by his girlfriend, Brenda, who is also a partner in the restaurant.
Brenda, a raspy-voiced redhead of about 60, was a most delightful pinch hitter. She told of meeting Clete on a sidewalk in Cooperstown a few years ago. "Hey, Red," he said with a smile. When he introduced himself, she was unimpressed by his credentials. "He was divorced. He was a ballplayer. He was a Yankee. And he'd hung around with Mickey Mantle. I knew what those guys were like," she told me in the restaurant last night. To make matters worse, the widowed Brenda was a dyed-in-the-wool Dodgers fan. She resisted his overtures for some time.
Eventually, however, Clete won her over. Brenda's affection for old No. 6 is apparent. At one point during the party, she ducked into the kitchen and returned with a program from a recent "Celebrity Sports Nite" held at Alfred State College in Wellsville, N.Y. Clete was a featured speaker and regaled the crowd with stories of Mantle, Billy Martin, and his close friend Roger Maris.
Brenda then regaled us with her impersonation of Clete entering the restaurant. Donning a Yankees cap, she strutted in the door, winking and waving to the assembled. When Brenda/Clete doffed the cap in recognition of being recognized, one of the waitresses giggled, "That's him."
"Does he wear a Yankees cap?" I asked.
"Always," said the waitress. "And other Yankee stuff, too."
Lest anyone be confused about her feelings for Clete, Brenda remarked that her beau had worked with current Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter. "Derek only made two errors after that," she said proudly.
But lest anyone think she isn't grounded in reality, Brenda laughed, "Whenever Clete mentions he was a star, I tell him he's stardust now."
Maybe. But I still want to meet him and hear his stories. Brenda said that if Clete felt better, he'd be in on Wednesday. Guess where I'm having lunch today.

Since it's all about 3D right now it was only a matter of time for the fashion industry to jump in the tridimensional mania. The fact that a British magazine, AnOther, has led the way is nothing new (why are the British so desperately modern? It makes me so desperately jealous), and it has done so in an all-British glamour style: Alexander McQueen clothes are worn by a Medusa-like Kate Moss. The film is a mesmerizing mix of luxury and despair; Since it was launched on AnOther's website about two weeks ago it's been one of my big favourites. So... Put on your (not at all glamourous) 3D glasses and enter a new dimension in fashion film!

J'ai toujours des doutes à propos de ça, mais au moins le film ça nous change un peu... le Vogue Italia avec Miranda Kerr était tout juste terrible!ReplyDelete

That remindes me the ambiguity of the MM latest collection with their almost bidimensional pieces comparing to this article of yours about 3D*

06 November 2015
left to right – DCS Gilbert Houalla, Thames Valley Police; DCC Janette McCormick, Cheshire Police and Insp Louis Provart, National Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Police Association.
The first ever national conference for the Gypsy Roma Traveller Police Association (GRTPA) was hosted at The Police Federation of England & Wales's (PFEW) headquarters in Leatherhead on Thursday 5 November 2015.
This was an opportunity for police officers associated with the GRT communities to hear from distinguished speakers and for them to have the chance to network with fellow police officers and staff.
Chairing the conference was GRTPA founder, Jim Davies. He opened the conference with an impassioned speech about the often conflicting pull he feels around being a proud and committed serving police officer and also his pride at being from a Gypsy community.
Jim Davies addressed the conference stating: "I care deeply about the police; but I want it to change how it treats Gyspy, Roma and Traveller communities." He went on to recall a time when he was on patrol with a police officer colleague who stopped a potential suspect and then let him go saying, "sorry I stopped you, I thought you were a Traveller."
Mr Davies spoke about his approach to dealing with these issues which he stated came very much from a position of care towards both the affected GRT communities and the police. He likened it to that of dealing with his own children. He explained, "The fact is you don't want to chastise them, but yet you recognise the need for them to be put on the right path when they need to be, because you know it will be for the better in the longer term."
Dave Bamber from PFEW, said: "The Police Federation of England & Wales was very proud to facilitate and support this, the first GRTPA Conference in the UK. The level of speakers reflected the quality and commitment that the GRTPA is able to bring, and their existence will hopefully go a long way in bringing about a real culture change within policing."
Also speaking at the conference was Jeannette McCormick, the NPCC National Diversity Lead for Gypsy Roma and Travellers. She spoke about the need for change and how, by making a stand, this could positively influence other people's behaviour. She also felt that as serving police officers, society expects them to perform at their best, yet felt this was very challenging for them if they felt unable to be honest about who they were in terms of their own background.
Other speakers included Yvonne MacNamara, Chief Executive Officer of the Traveller Movement which is a leading charity tackling issues that affect the lives of Gypsy, Roma and Travelling communities in the UK. They were also joined by Louis Provart, the Co-Chair from the National Gay Transgender Police Association who talked about how he deals with the challenges of being a member of a non-visible minority group working within the police force.
Marc Willers QC is one of the UK's foremost barristers specialising in Gypsy Roma Traveller Law and was prominent in the high-profile Dale Farm case at Crays Hill, Essex and he talked about his work with the GRT communities. Similarly Gilbert Houalla of Thames Valley Police spoke of his work leading a recent Thames Valley Review of Policing GRT communities within his force.
Rainer Schultz, a European expert and Professor of Modern European History at Essex University and the Founding Editor of 'Journal, Holocaust in History and Memory' gave an engaging presentation on the historic persecution and holocaust of the Roma community during the second world war. This served as a fitting reminder to underpin the importance for the GRT communities to unite and stand firm against discrimination where it is encountered.
Anyone interested in joining the Gypsy Roma Traveller Police Association should email email@example.com or visit the GRTPA website on www.grtpa.com and click on 'Join Us'. Full membership is open to all serving Police Officers, Community Support Officers, Special Constables and all other Police Staff members, regardless of their rank and ethnicity.

Soul Stirrer with embodied faith in action – Sally Norvell decided to become a filmmaker on the set of "Paris, Texas."
She has been an actress, singer, and filmmaker – most recently directing, producing and writing the documentary "Saving David Powell".
Sally writes,
"Saving David Powell" is a call to action to stop the execution of David Powell in real time. He is scheduled to be executed by the State of Texas on June 15, 2010, and there is no legal recourse left to stop this from happening. He has spent 32 hard years on America's most brutal death row, and even after all this time, with no history of violence for decades, they still mean to take him out and kill him.
David's case is not one of straight innocence, but it is clear that this man does not deserve to be executed. If ever there were a case for clemency, this is it.
"Saving David Powell" asks for a miracle – and asks the viewer to participate in creating one.

Every morning Grape the cat tries to steal my office chair. I have a fleece blanket draped over the seat, so that may be her draw, but anyway, it has become her mission in life to get this chair away from me. I'll tell you how the sneaky little thing does it.
She waits for me to sit down with my coffee and snack, like a gingerbread cookie or something, and then saunters into the room. She stops, looks at me and lifts a paw to lick—as if she hasn't really noticed me, or if she has, it isn't much to ponder on. After cleaning her paw for a moment, she makes a running leap to the computer desk. Back and forth she walks, under my nose, letting me pet her along the back. If I pet her too little, she gets annoyed. If I pet her too much, she stops and nibbles on my hand. Either way, I usually get a nibble. "Hey!" I yell, scooting back. "No biting!" Grape peers at me with mock surprise. Did I bite you? Oh, I did. Try and pet me again. BITE. "Hey!" You're a horrible petter, Amy Saia. Horrible.
I get up from the chair. I'll just leave the room and come back when little miss Grape has cooled down.
Five minutes later I come back and find her spread out across the chair, paws flexing in sublime joy. My document waits with blinking cursor, but the fear is too much.
Hello, this is Grape the kitteh. I never 'bite' Amy. I just taste her a little. Besides, she's always sitting in my chair tapping her fingers on this rectangle thingy . . . you know how it goes. A cat's gotta do what a cat's gotta do.

Interview: Steen Albrechtslund, Fitness World
The CEO of Danish operator Fitness World talks to Kate Cracknell about his plans for a business that already counts 12 per cent of Danes as members
When I joined Fitness World back in October 2015, I was surprised by the lack of differentiation between the brands in the market," comments Steen Albrechtslund, CEO of Denmark's largest health club chain, Fitness World. "There are the high-end boutiques that tell their own compelling story, but among the big chains – whether you're in Europe, Asia or the US – there's very little differentiation, very little attempt to tell a branded story within the four walls of the club compared to other retail sectors, such as apparel."
He continues: "I came to Fitness World directly from a retail role and with a very strong retail background that included running my own watch and jewellery company, which we ultimately sold to Fossil. In that business, we had our own branded channels – hundreds of our own retail outlets – and we very, very carefully managed the brand experience within those outlets.
"That's the approach I'm now trying to apply here at Fitness World because in my mind, we aren't fitness operators. We're health and fitness retailers.
Learning from retail
He continues: "We're setting out to tell a distinctive story in our clubs, including using signature colours, décor and equipment. We want to create a branded environment that strengthens the member experience, that has an impact the moment you come into the club. Think about when you go into a theatre – how you're catapulted into the environment and the experience. That's what we're trying to achieve from a consumer perspective in our clubs.
Space Optimisation
"On the operational side of things, I'm extremely focused on the idea of space optimisation. When I travel around, both to other operators' clubs and to our own, I see a lot of high-value space being wasted.
"In retail, you have to optimise space by selling what sells best. That sounds pretty obvious, but ask yourself this: do you really analyse what sells best? In retail, you have people whose entire job is to analyse what SKUs are being sold and what SKUs aren't selling. The latter you remove from the retail space, replacing them with the former – and you also product/develop the former, so you have exactly the right colours, right price point, right materials and so on.
"You can apply exactly the same principle in fitness retail. Here, the SKU is the type of equipment. If you have a club profile where people are more into cardio, but a lot of the space is taken up by weights, that's not optimised.
"Similarly in the studio, do we have the right SKUs in terms of classes – which ones are popular in that location and which aren't? Get rid of the less popular classes and do more of what's popular."
The ecosystem
This willingness to identify, and then prioritise, what's popular in each individual location has allowed Albrechtslund to apply what he calls an "ecosystem" approach to the Fitness World business.
He explains: "We went from being a single- to a multi-brand company in order to efficiently cover the market and tap into the different volume pools.
"Our core brand, Fitness World, sits in the low mainstream full-service segment, while our new Urban Gym brand is pure low-cost fitness. It's accessible via members' smartphones and has no staff or showers, just a small changing area in the middle of the gym floor – like you might see in a retail store.
"We launched Urban Gym with five clubs in the autumn of 2016 and we've now grown to 10 clubs. They're all performing well ahead of forecast and we're opening another batch this year."
He continues: "In general, the Danish market is extremely focused on price – we have the highest penetration of all the discount grocery stores worldwide. That's why we operate in the low mainstream and budget sector: this price sensitivity, combined with the small size of the market, means it would be very, very difficult to create a premium concept with a lot of scale in Denmark.
"But in fact, there are three dominant drivers in the Danish fitness market: location, price and classes. We aim to own them all. Location we certainly own: with it being such a small market, Danes expect everything to be nearby. We have 162 clubs, which means we're always close to wherever people are.
"We're also absolutely determined to own the entry price point in the Danish fitness market, as well as offering value for money across the board.
"And we offer the widest range of classes on the market, with about 60 different types of class.
"But this is where the ecosystem really kicks in because it allows us to deliver even better value for money and even more choice for our members.
"Again, this goes back to my retail experience: big retailers will have a flagship store that has all their SKUs in all sizes and all colours, and then scattered around it are satellite stores in an ecosystem. These satellite stores operate according to the 80:20 rule – you only need to stock the most popular SKUs there because these account for the majority of sales anyway. Then, if someone wants something you don't stock, they don't have too far to travel to get to your flagship store.
"We've tried to apply the same model at Fitness World. In each of our ecosystems, we'll have one club that offers a wider range of classes and equipment, and then satellite stores – which might be Fitness World or Urban Gym – which only offer the most popular classes and the most used equipment in any given location. If you want specialist equipment or a more unusual class, you just hop on your bike and cycle a couple of kilometres to the flagship store.
"We've identified 28 ecosystems in the Danish market, with some volume pools that are still untapped. Obviously, when you have half a million members and 162 clubs in a population of 5.5 million – all living within a very small area – there are limits to your growth potential. However, there's certainly still room for profitable growth in the Danish market."
Moving beyond Denmark
"We've worked with a team of anthropologists to segment our market. We now have a detailed segmentation, spanning member age, gender and needs, which allows us to look at the whole Danish market to see exactly where we're over- and under-represented. That's a fantastic tool for us because it allows us to create solutions that fill the spaces in which we're under-represented.
And it isn't only Denmark that Fitness World is fine-tuning its presence in. The brand currently has 17 clubs in Poland, and further growth is on its mid-term radar. "We want to have quite a significant penetration in certain parts of Poland that we find more interesting than others, but even here, we're looking at ecosystems more than we're thinking in terms of traditional markets or countries with borders."
Does that mean other countries might be on the radar too? "We haven't done any in-depth analysis on that yet, because first of all, we want to make sure we have a very strong platform for growth. I took over a very successful company that had grown very fast; we now need to put new systems and structures in place before we can embark on a new growth phase.
"Firstly, we want to have profitable growth in Denmark: there's some low-hanging fruit here. We need to explore all the different volume pools, assessing the number of potential members, but also their willingness to pay, which gives you the value pools.
"There are certain segments of volume and value pools in the Danish market that we're currently under-represented in – where we have a lower market share than our overall market share. We'd like to provide solutions that cater for these segments. Whether that's within our existing set-up or whether it's via new brands and new propositions is still to be determined."
He continues: "We also want to ensure we have all the moving parts in place in Poland: our clubs are performing positively, but we're not quite there with our branding and marketing just yet.
"Then, when I feel it's all running smoothly and we have the resources, that will be the time to investigate further growth opportunities – identifying new ecosystems and volume pools that are attractive to us, and looking at what solutions we might be able to bring to market within those ecosystems. It's all about finding the right spaces with the right solutions."
• Number of clubs in Denmark: 162
• Number of members in Denmark: 450,000+ (that's 12 per cent of the Danish population)
• Number of clubs in Poland: 17
• Majority stakeholder: Norwegian private equity company FSN Capital
• Membership at Fitness World: €25–30 a month
• Membership at Urban Gym: €15 a month
"The fitness business needs to be on its toes when it comes to digitisation, not only in terms of the member experience, but also in terms of avoiding getting trapped in the lower part of the value stack. It has to make sure it still has an influence over what customers are buying, and how they're buying it, rather than being sidelined by new innovations that create a new market.
"One solution I see is for strategic partnerships: a big operator could team up with other complementary providers, such as sports clubs, to create one single subscription that gives full access to their combined services via an app. The consumer would have far more choice, while the operator would retain control over the experience."

A federal court handed Nigeria's vice-president the power to carry out state affairs while his boss, President Umaru Yar'Adua, continues treatment in a Saudi Arabian hospital.
Seven weeks of constitutional confusion have followed Mr. Yar'Adua's sudden departure because he did not tell the National Assembly that he was going and did not officially pass the baton to his deputy, Goodluck Jonathan.
A judge in the capital, Abuja, on Wednesday ruled that Mr. Jonathan had the authority to take the reins in a judgment which immediately brought claims of skulduggery from demonstrators and those in the political opposition. Nigeria's political crisis has not been solved by this ruling, say analysts.
Opponents have been increasingly pushing for prescribed constitutional mechanisms designed to pass on power in case the president is incapacitated.
Three separate court cases were due to open in Abuja on Thursday, all aimed at forcing the president's office to concede control to Mr. Jonathan. But Wednesday's surprise hearing – few in Abuja knew that the case was scheduled – led to each of the other three legal hearings being adjourned.
Officially, power has not been handed to the vice president, a little known former governor of one of Nigeria's oil-producing southern states. Instead, Wednesday's court ruling simply stated that other sections of the constitution allow Mr. Jonathan to carry out the functions of the presidency even if powers have not officially been handed over.
Yar'Adua spoke publicly Monday
"This is completely illegal," said Benedict Ezeagu, an Abuja barrister and national secretary of the newly-formed Lawyers of Conscience pressure group.
"It may seem very technical, but it's of crucial importance – we now have no idea who really is in charge of this country, who can enact laws, who represents us at this very trying time."
"The constitution, such as it is, is there to assist us at exactly times like this," says Ezeagu.
Yar'Adua has been plagued with health problems since before he was elected in a disputed poll in 2007. He left for the King Faisal hospital in Jeddah on Nov. 23. He was not seen or heard from for 50 days until he gave a brief interview to the BBC's Hausa language radio service late on Monday. Hausa is widely spoken across Nigeria's majority Muslim north, where Mr. Yar'Adua is from.
He sounded weak, but said he was "getting better" and promised to return to work as soon as his doctors agreed to it. No date was given.
His absence has thrown Africa's most populous nation, which supplies almost a fifth of US oil, into even more of a political tailspin than it was before he left, when claims of inaction were regularly leveled at the presidency.
Since the president left, a peace process in the Niger Delta has effectively ground to a halt, with one militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, declaring it 'dead' and threatening to rescind their ceasefire.
Gas supplies have almost run out, because extra import licenses sit unsigned on the president's desk. Almost no new legislation has been approved.
"Just because a court says that the VP can carry on where the president left off does not mean that the crisis is past," said a Western diplomat in Abuja.
"There're likely to be series of legal challenges to anything Goodluck signs or agrees in the next few weeks, from people keen to agitate this situation to their political profit. We're not out of the woods yet."

Let's talk about Trolls, some more.
But Midsummer 2016 is quickly approaching. And they are getting quite excited. Well, as excitable as a Troll can get. I mean Skoggs is always down for a party, but Berg and Siku. Not so much!
And since the Trolls will be making a much bigger appearance in this years collection I thought I'd put out some sneak peeks to help get everyone excited and on board with the Trolls. These are not your lurky, creepy internet trolls. Real life Trolls would really appreciate it if maybe you could come up with a different term for people who lurk online, or better yet if you lurkers would just go away.
I'll be releasing a handful of little mini books, that will all come together to make up a full printed book, to be released in June. And we're going to start things off with one very big Troll misconception....

The kiddo and I had time to kill while the wife had business to attend to. We explored in the car and when the decision came to eat we pulled into the parking lot of Granite City Food & Brewery. If I didn't know any better I would have thought I was in BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Ohio. The interiors looked identical. The menus did not though.
The hostess who sat us was very friendly. She brought out a bowl of fruit for the kiddo right away which was a very nice touch.
I'm a sucker for fresh baked pretzels, even if they are just a frozen food service item. So I couldn't help myself ordering the pretzel sticks as an appetizer. Even the kiddo had one. I seem to remember not being too impressed with the Northern Cheese Sauce. Give me a spicy brown mustard or bold nacho cheese with my pretzels. They would have been even better with a beer but I'm very strict about not drinking and driving so I settled for a Diet Pepsi.
The daughter ordered Kraft Mac n' Cheese. I tried to talk her out of it because the last 10+ times she's ordered it anywhere she takes two bites and pushes it away saying it isn't cheesy enough. And she's right. And I'm tired of wasting food. But she decreed this batch to be good and ate almost the whole thing. She said the difference was the word "creamy" in the menu description. Right.
I ordered the lunch combo of Pepperoni Flatbread and Caesar Salad. I love love anchovies on my Caesar salad, unfortunately they did not have any. The salad was pretty mediocre I think because of poor use of cheese, barely any. The flatbread pizza was good. Cut into four small squares, maybe 3″ by 3″ which made for a lunch on the lighter side. The pepperoni was good as was the cheese. That might be the first flat bread pizza I've had
My daughter is a dessert fanatic. She burns thousands of calories per day thanks to gymnastics and soccer so it's not too bad of a bad habit. Yet. If a restaurant has a brownie sundae, she's ordering it. And so she did here. I don't have the sweet tooth and rarely order dessert. She let me have a bite and I found the brownie to be dry and on the cake side. I prefer a moister, fudgier brownie. She finished the whole thing though so it must have been good.

BERLIN—The European Union offered Monday to help Iran obtain the most advanced civilian nuclear technology if Iran halted work on uranium enrichment, a process that produces fuel for power plants and nuclear weapons.
The White House said it supported such an initiative, but the hard-line regime in Tehran showed no sign that it was ready to accept any plan requiring it to relinquish what it contends is its right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes.
U.S. and European officials believe Iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons under the cover of its civilian program, and they insist that no enrichment take place on Iranian territory to ensure that Tehran can't make nuclear weapons.
EU foreign ministers met in Brussels, Belgium, to consider a plan to reward Iran with expanded political and economic cooperation in return for suspending uranium enrichment and halting construction of a heavy water reactor, a device that produces large amounts of plutonium, which also can be used in nuclear weapons.
In a statement after their meeting, the foreign ministers said that the EU also would support "Iran's development of a safe, sustainable and proliferation-proof civilian nuclear program, if international concerns were fully addressed and confidence in Iran's intentions established. The EU hopes that Iran will not fail to take up such an offer."
EU officials declined to disclose further details of the plan, which is a beefed-up version of an offer made last August that Iran's theocratic regime quickly dismissed.
Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief, told reporters that the new initiative would give Iran access to the most advanced civilian nuclear technology.
"If they want to construct a nuclear energy power plant, they would have, in cooperation with the European Union and other members of the international community, the best and most sophisticated technology," he said. "If they reject that, it would mean that what they want is something different."
A U.S. official in Washington, who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk publicly, said the main difference between the August plan and the new one would be a proposal for the creation of an international consortium to construct civilian nuclear power plants in Iran.
The consortium, in which European, Russian and other companies could participate, also would supply Iran with low-enriched uranium to power the reactors and would take back and reprocess the spent fuel, he said.
The idea expands on a Russian plan for the creation of a joint Iranian-Russian enterprise to enrich uranium for Iranian plants on Russian soil.
The statement made no mention of sanctions if Iran refuses to give up enrichment. Sanctions being drafted by the EU would spare ordinary Iranians, but target senior government officials with travel bans, freezes on foreign bank accounts and other measures. Russia and China oppose sanctions or military action.
The EU plan is to be hammered out for a meeting in London on Friday of senior diplomats from the five veto-wielding permanent members of the U.N. Security Council: the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain.
A White House official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said, "The United States does not oppose (EU) cooperation with Iran in civilian nuclear technology once Iran has provided objective guarantees that its program will be solely for peaceful purposes."
"Objective guarantees" is diplomatic jargon for Iran's agreement to forgo all enrichment work on its territory.
Iran, the world's fourth-largest petroleum producer, claims it requires nuclear power plants to meet the energy needs of its expanding population.
It admitted hiding its nuclear program from U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors for 18 years and purchasing materials and technology, including bomb-related know-how, from a Pakistani-led smuggling ring.
The EU foreign ministers noted that Iran has failed to answer numerous IAEA questions and ignored calls by the agency and the Security Council to suspend its enrichment work.
Iran claims to have succeeded in enriching uranium to a level sufficient to run a power plant. Highly enriched uranium, the fuel for nuclear weapons, requires processing over a much longer period or with a much larger processing facility.

I thought I'd experienced writer's block, but after a recent experience, I realize that I had never really felt it until now. You know in caper movies, when the criminals are about to escape with the art/money/priceless antiquities, but then the alarm sounds and WHOMP! the impenetrable metal gate falls across the room and they're trapped?
Recently, this is what happened in my brain every time I tried to think about my book.
I'd be going about my business, and think that it might be okay to try to work on a scene, and WHOMP. Metal gate slams closed on the brain. Trapped with nowhere to go.
And then, to add insult to injury, for some time after that the mental block would spread to everything else I tried to do, even if it had nothing to do with my MS. It's like (to completely mix metaphors) the beach ball of death had come to my brain. It was still technically ON, but nothin' was happenin'.
[BBoD, the bane of every Mac user's existence]
Some people say that writer's block doesn't exist. Why do writers get a special excuse to not do their work? Plumbers don't get plumber's block!
But here's the thing. I'm sure plumbers do have times when they feel less than good about their jobs. Doesn't everyone? Like when you would rather poke your eyes out than go to work? When it seems like your brain has run off with your motivation and they're vacationing in Tahiti without you? But when plumbers go to work feeling crappy about it and not on their A-game, they still weld pipe A to fitting B and the sink still stops leaking, just as it would on their best day.
Not so for creative pursuits. Even on my worst day, I could force words down on the page, but they are going to be awful. Horribly crap-tastic. When writers, or anyone in a creative job, isn't feeling it, the work truly suffers.
Luckily, I figured out the cause of my writer's block. This is the key. I do firmly believe that it's not an incurable disease. Once you figure out the cause, you can figure out the cure. And next time: what that cure turned out to be.
What do you think? Does writer's block really exist?

Disaster recovery policies
From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
We developed our policies based on 6 potential scenarios, each with a different level of damage.
For each scenario, we mapped out:
- What to do
- Who is responsible for the tasks
- Who are the back up contacts for the tasks
The 6 scenarios are as follows:
Scenario 1: software loss (such as Acumen).
Scenario 2: we lose all delivery content (such as derivatives, descriptive metadata; everything in Acumen)
Scenario 3: we lose everything on the UA Libraries share drive.
Scenario 4: partial loss of archival files with no backups.
Scenario 5: total loss of archival files with only ADPNet content available for restoration.
Scenario 6: total loss of archival files and all backups.
