Methoxy-Iso Protein – Vanilla 2.2 lbs $31.34 Time proven anabolic compound resurfaces with incredible results. During the late seventies, researchers strived to develop a compound that was a synthetic isoflavone. With all the research taking place to develop a new anabolic compound that could be used in the pharmaceutical and livestock industry, several patents were issued for 5-Methyl-7-Methoxy-Isoflavone. The main patent was filed in 1977 by a Hungarian company, who, for some reason, never did anything with it in the human industry. With the popularity and availability of anabolic steroids, this compound was hidden and buried.The livestock industry picked up on it in the early eighties, by passing some of the USDA stick regulations dealing with hormones and drugs to increase lean muscle. 5-methyl-7-methoxy-isoflavone was graded as acceptable and virtually undetectable. This new compound became the secret weapon of all livestock producers. |

BREMENN Research Labs Hylexin Eye Cream Paraben-Free $59 If you have serious dark circles—the ones that make you look older, tired, and exhausted—there’s Hylexin™, a unique product specifically developed for serious dark circles. In clinical studies, Hylexin has been shown to help reduce hemoglobin degradation by-products by optimizing enzymatic activity, causing the red-blue pigmentation of dark circles to fade. Studies also confirm that Hylexin actually helps strengthen the capillary matrix to help stop the "leaking," so the delicate skin in the orbital eye area is protected against further damage. Paraben-free. Direction: Gently apply Hylexin concentrate twice daily to clean, dry skin, using a light, circular motion, until completely absorbed into the orbital eye area. Use sparingly. Hylexin is a concentrated formula. Do not exceed three applications per 24-hour period. Note: As Hylexin begins to work, you may experience a moderate feeling of warmth… this is normal. Net Weight: 0.5 oz./15 ml |

After Tobacco: What Would Happen If Americans Stopped Smoking? $35 States have banned smoking in workplaces, restaurants, and bars. They have increased tobacco tax rates, extended “clean air” laws, and mounted dramatic antismoking campaigns. Yet tobacco use remains high among Americans, prompting many health professionals to seek bolder measures to reduce smoking rates, which has raised concerns about the social and economic consequences of these measures.Retail and hospitality businesses worry smoking bans and excise taxes will reduce profit, and with tobacco farming and cigarette manufacturing concentrated in southeastern states, policymakers fear the decline of regional economies. Such concerns are not necessarily unfounded, though until now, no comprehensive survey has responded to these beliefs by capturing the impact of tobacco control across the nation. This book, the result of research commissioned by Legacy and Columbia University’s Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy, considers the economic impact of reducing smoking rates on tobacco farmers, cigarette-factory workers, the southeastern regional economy, state governments, tobacco retailers, the hospitality industry, and nonprofit organizations that might benefit from the industry’s philanthropy. It also measures the effect of smoking reduction on mortality rates, medical costs, and Social Security. Concluding essays consider the implications of more vigorous tobacco control policy for law enforcement, smokers who face social stigma, the mentally ill who may cope through tobacco, and disparities in health by race, social class, and gender. |

Corporate farming $89.99 Corporate farming is a term that describes the business of agriculture, specifically, what is seen by some as the practices of would-be megacorporations involved in food production on a very large scale. It is a modern food industry issue, and encompasses not only the farm itself, but also the entire chain of agriculture-related business, including seed supply, agrichemicals, food processing, machinery, storage, transport, distribution, marketing, advertising, and retail sales. The term also includes the influence of these companies on education, research and public policy, through their educational funding and government lobbying efforts. “Corporate farming” is often used synonymously with “agribusiness” (although “agribusiness” quite often is not used in the corporate farming sense), and it is seen as the destroyer of the family farm. Critics argue that the ultimate goal of corporate farming is to vertically integrate the entire process of food production, up to the point of the distribution and sale of food to consumers. |

Customer Service Intermediate Level Full Certification Kit – Complete Skills, Training, And Support Steps To The Best Customer Experience By Redefining And Improving Customer Experience $49.95 Practical, concise help for dealing with customers: The book and its accompanying eLearning course and Certification paves the way for the Best Customer Experience by Redefining and Improving Customer Experience: An Innovative Strategy by the Industry Leader in Effective Customer Service Training.We deal with Excellent, and not-so-good customer service every day. Customer Service is always on the agenda. However, these two words involve so much more than simply serving customers. It is solving problems, reassuring the uncertain, calming the infuriated, finding the lost and fixing the broken. The customer service professional is required to be jack-of-all trades to satisfy the expectations of the customer and promises of the company.Organizations know that their customer service staff are the frontline of their business. Sales positions are no longer filled with the unmotivated, the unfriendly, the unhelpful and the untrained personnel from yesteryear. They are the point of make-or-break sales and there is now a greater emphasis and importance on maintaining and improving high quality customer service and staff.Research has shown highly successful service organizations have lower marketing costs, fewer upset customers and more repeat business – customers are “voting with their feet” which is key when customer loyalty has become obsolete. An added bonus to good service is morale, job satisfaction is higher, and employee absenteeism and turnover are lower.This Customer Service Intermediate Certification Kit builds on the Foundation level, with this specific focus on Customer Service:- Customer Service and Contact Centers- Communication Strategies- Customer Relationship Management- Delivering Presentations and Public Speaking- Customer Service and Sales- Building Relationships with Customers- Customer Service and Retail- Conflict Resolution- Decision Making and Assertiveness |

Developing New Food Products for a Changing Marketplace $104.95 Far exceeding the dynamic evolution prophesized by the editors of the first edition, food product development outstripped all expectations by incorporating several new phenomena. The demands of aging boomers for food that provides both taste and nutrition, the overwhelming consumer demand for convenience, the rapidly changing landscape of food retailing, and scientific breakthroughs in ingredient, processing, and packaging technology underscore the industry’s propensity for change in the marketing, packaging, and development arenas. Such drastic change demands an up-to-date review of this expanding field. Navigate a Changeable Landscape Driven by the recognition of the interdisciplinary philosophies that underlie this dimensionally volatile landscape, the editors and contributors of Developing New Food Products for a Changing Marketplace hardwire their vision of holistic food product developmentin their breakthroughsecond edition.

Economic Logistics: The Optimization of Spatial and Sectoral Resource, Production, and Distribution Systems $128.98 This work uses techniques of optimization and operations research to develop the first comprehensive survey of the entire field of the optimization of resource, production, and distribution systems. Sten Thore proposes an economic logistics that is similar to the well-known concept of military logistics, but which is expanded to include such features as the optimal location of plants, inventories and retail outlets, and the management of hierarchical multi-echelon production, inventory, and distribution systems. The study of individual features of this supply process is familiar from operations research, but Thore joins these elements together into larger analytic structures encompassing the production and distribution system in an entire industry. Following an introductory chapter and a review of the saddle-point theory, coauthored with W. W. Cooper, Thore explores the three dimensions of the supply process synthesis: the spatial dimension (as in simple transportation systems), the vertical dimension (extending from resources to finished consumer goods, as in activity analysis), and the time dimension (as in inventory accumulation and investment). The combination of these then leads to models of such diverse subjects as regional warehouse systems, activity analysis and activity networks, multi-stage warehouse systems of intermediate goods, distribution networks, and spatial equilibrium. Each chapter contains its own exercises which are solved numerically and discussed in great detail, and illustrate such optimization techniques as linear and nonlinear programming, goal programming and goal focusing, chance-constrained programming, and infinite games. This work is designed for use ingraduate courses in economics and mathematics modeling, and will also be a useful addition to college and university library collections. |

Exploring the impact of franchise participation on small professional services providers. $49.99 Less than half of the business services enterprises launched in Canada between 1984 and 1994 remained in operation after four years. Franchise participation was said to improve a small business’ chances of success in the restaurant and retail sectors but its value within professional services was unclear. Benefits of franchise participation revealed through qualitative content analysis of semi-structured expert interviews with small Ontario professional services franchisees and independent owners included access to proven methods of operation, training, and faster development consistent with previous research while the importance of access to an established brand name was only partially supported. Recommendations for franchisors included using promotional vehicles targeted at all entrepreneurs rather than those seeking franchise opportunities, proactive and wide communication of the value of quality control and services received in return for royalties, and consideration of branding alternatives that let franchisees keep their professional identities. Recommendations for further research included: how franchise participation helps individuals change industries; any consequences that less education or lack of certification among franchisees may have on the quality of their services; the desire to become a franchisor in the future as a motivation for franchise participation; the prevalence of multi-unit franchisees in the professional services sector; and how age, industry and risk aversion impact entrepreneurial behaviors. |

International Research Forum 2009 $26.15 In April 2009, some of the leading figures in industry and academia gathered in Dresden, Germany for the International Research Forum. This gathering, sponsored by SAP Research, explored the future of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things represents the frontier where the digital and physical worlds meet. It is network of interconnected devices that provide real-time information about the world. These technologies are now expanding outside the closed loops of factories and supply chains and extending into broader and more complex applications. This explosion of digital information will transform business processes along the entire product lifecycle: raw materials, manufacturing, logistics, retail, consumer, and even disposal and recycling.For two days, these thinkers at the IRF 2009 put their collective intelligence to work to explore this frontier and envision its future. They heard presentations from prescient observers, engaged in lively debate, and made bold predictions. The sessions explored four cornerstones of the Internet of Things:• End-to-end real-world awareness• Infrastructure of the Internet of Things• Potential killer applications• Future manufacturing These sessions produced many provocative questions-not all of which could be answered at the forum. The authors of this book conducted several months of follow up research to ascertain how the Internet of Things would unfold in key areas. Unlike most other conferences, the IRF2009 did not end with the final session but continued to generate insights long after the participants had gone home. The second half of this book illuminates how the Internet of Things will play out in domains such as:• Standards• Data management• Barriers to adoption• High-resolution management• New business models in diverse sectors such as manufacturing, supply chain management, retail, services, and energy• |

Kmart’s Ten Deadly Sins: How Incompetence Tainted an American ICON $36.95 News that discount giant Kmart was filing for bankruptcy in early 2002 sent shockwaves through the retail community. How could a brand as widely recognized and firmly fixed in our cultural lexicon be teetering on the brink of extinction? Depending on who you talk to, Kmart’s fall from grace can be attributed to any number of factors. In the first in-depth examination of Kmart, author Marcia Layton Turner reveals the real reason behind Kmart’s troubles–bad management–and discusses how the large personalities and even larger dreams of Kmart’s misguided leaders played a significant role in transforming this once profitable retail titan into a bankrupt behemoth. Even though Kmart has emerged from bankruptcy, the truth is that the company has made a number of bad decisions throughout its forty-year history–some seemed like good decisions at the time, while others were obviously off base. But what really hurt Kmart is the fact that most of these decisions were made by rogue managers who shirked their duty to shareholders and company.Kmart’s Ten Deadly Sins spins an intriguing tale of the missteps and miscalculations of a retail giant which once had the industry in the palm of its hand, and foolishly let it all slip away. Interviews with financial analysts, former employees, and industry observers, coupled with in-depth research of SEC filings, news reports, and background data, paints a clear picture of exactly how Kmart management’s thinking emerged as well as what went on behind the scenes–and why.Weaving corporate history with financial analysis and expert commentary, this engaging book identifies and examines the ten management mistakes, which ultimately brought Kmart to its knees. You’ll learn how a combination of . . . Brand mismanagementLack of customer knowledgeUnderestimating the competitionLousy locationsIgnoring store appearanceTechnology aversionSupply chain |

On Target: How the World’s Hottest Retailer Hit a Bullseye $0.99 "When I go into a competitor’s store, I have this uncontrollable urge to get whatever I need and get the heck out. With Target it’s more like, ‘Stick around for a while, relax.’"–Target customerIf you’ve ever shopped at Target you’ve probably felt the same way, roaming the aisles for an hour or two, enjoying the great merchandise, clean environment, and impeccable customer service. But low prices and quality products aren’t the only factors that distinguish Target from its competition. It’s the "human touch"–which almost all other discount stores lack today–that draws people back to Target time and again. Founded in 1962 by Minnesota-based department store Dayton’s, Target exploded in popularity during the mid-1990s and continues its success today. For over four decades, through its edgy products, innovative store designs, memorable image campaigns, and remarkably generous philanthropy, Target–the discount chain with the trademark bull’s-eye–has developed a cult-like following among American shoppers. With exclusive merchandising partnerships with designers such as Michael Graves, Mossimo, and Todd Oldham, "Tar-zhay," as some like to refer to one of America’s most profitable retailers, has made it hip to be spare by selling bargains and cachet.In On Target, award-winning business journalist Laura Rowley skillfully uncovers–through vivid firsthand stories, candid interviews, and in-depth research–the strategies, motivations, and leaders behind the Target phenomenon, and examines how they have led to such runaway success. You’ll go behind the cash registers and down the aisles as Rowley takes a close look at:How the seeds for Target’s culture were planted in its unique retail history How Target reinvented the discount store concept, carving a niche that would allow it to thrive even in the shadow of industry giant Wal-MartHow Target’s best practices in |

Principles of Inventory Management: When You Are Down to Four, Order More $50.77 Inventories are prevalent everywhere in the commercial world, whether it be in retail stores, manufacturing facilities, government skpile material, Federal Reserve banks, or even your own household. This textbook examines basic mathematical techniques used to sufficiently manage inventories by using various computational methods and mathematical models. Such models discussed include: EOQ model and extensions, power-of-two models, single and multi-period models, probabilistic lot sizing models, multi-echelon shastic models, Laplace and Normal demand models, exact Poisson model, and many more.Principles of Inventory Management begins with an introductory chapter in which the basics of inventory systems and mathematical assumptions for all models are grouped together. The text is presented in a way such that each section can be read independently, and so the order in which the reader approaches the book can be inconsequential.

Private Label: Turning the Retail Brand Threat Into Your Biggest Opportunity $13.44 Private labels, also known as “store brands” or “house brands,” have long been associated with inexpensive name-brand knockoffs.  In recent years, however, retailers have begun marketing higher-quality products under their private labels.  The result has been a huge increase in the market share of private label brands.  Of every $100 spent around the world, $17 is spent on a private label.   The private label industry is worth an estimated one trillion US dollars, and its growth is outpacing that of manufacturer brands.Private Label is a gripping and persuasive study of this retail phenomenon.  Based on exclusive worldwide research by Saatchi & Saatchi X, it encourages brand owners to see the private label problem as a genuine business opportunity that will inspire them to really innovate.  This book is for retailers too, as they need to control private labels profitably without damaging their own business.  The way forward, the authors argue, is cooperation between brands and retailers.Punchy and provocative, Private Label encourages both brand owners and retailers to reinvent themselves continually.   By making use of megatrends, shopper insight, and value innovation, all parties can add value to their businesses. |
