Fifteen years of lusting over digital strategy left us with Amazon owning e-commerce and the implosion of traditional retail. In this brief text, Kevin Hillstrom illustrates the techniques he uses to identify the problems in client business models. Once the problems are identified, businesses can "fix" their challenges. Mr. Hillstrom focuses on rolling twelve month analytics, comp segment analytics, life tables, merchandise forensics, repurchase tables, store trade area analytics and forecasting strategies. The techniques quickly identify what is wrong with a business, so that you can "fix it" immediately!

Eschewing the usual mathematical explanations for physics phenomena, this approachable reference explains complicated scientific concepts in plain English that everyone can understand. Tackling the big issues such as gravity, magnetism, sound, and what really happens in the Large Hadron Collider, this engaging look at physics also spells out why cats always land on their feet, why people appear to have red eyes in photographs, and the real danger of looking at an eclipse. For everyone who ever wondered how a light bulb works or how squirrels avoid electrocution on the power lines, this handbook supplies answers on the physics of everyday life and examines the developments in the exploration of subatomic particles. In addition to the question-and-answer section, an addendum of facts about physicists explains what the Nobel prize is and who has won it, and tells the story of the scientist who was incarcerated for agreeing with Copernicus. Answers more than eight hundred questions about physics, ranging from everyday life applications to the latest explorations in the field.
Life is louder than words can ever express because, from a biblical point of view, the world is broken by humanity's rebellion against its creator. Humanity is fragmented: all the offspring of Adam and Eve are born loving death. That is something that the modern age has tried to ignore and the postmodern age longs to embrace. More to the point, it is something that the church has tried to forget. However, we do so at our own peril. This work is a snapshot of the development of fragmentation in the Western world. It is also a map toward wholeness. We cannot move forward if we do not know where we are or where we are going. This searching for heart in a heartless world is an attempt to locate where we are on the map of history by examining the past through the corrective lenses of living faith so that we may be able to teach our children to have hope in hopeless times.
