  • 5-June Issue-1
    JULY 2013 ISSUE Indiana Governor’s Cup Weather Wins in Madison by Craig Fjarlie Cancelled The Ohio River can be a fickle friend. Over the years it has served as a boundary line, a source of transportation, irrigation and power, and a place for work and play. It also has been a source of misery through flooding, danger, destruction, even death. The river’s down side was on display when it was time for the 2013 Madison Regatta. On Wednesday before the race, officials met and cancelled all activity on Friday. It was still hoped the events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday could go on as planned. Yes, the water level would have to drop, and adjustments would need to be made to the layout of the pit area, but it was premature to announce cancellation of the entire event. On Friday, hope began to dim. Activity on Saturday was cancelled, but there was still a possibility that conditions would improve enough for an abbreviated program to take place on Sunday. Friday evening, all the boats went through the Regatta parade. On Saturday, the boats were lined up on Vaughn Drive above the pit area. The public was allowed in to get an up-close look. Drivers held an autograph session. Vendors made some sales, enough to avoid a complete bust. A replica of the first Gale V was on display. Saturday evening the sky was clear and the fireworks show went on without a hitch. Sunday, the boats were again lined up on Vaughn Drive. There was another autograph session, and the public again could get close to the boats.

  • Understanding Costco
    UNDERSTANDING COSTCO June 2004 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?” The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand. Before helping to found Coriolis Research, Tim was a consultant for Swander Pace and Company in San Francisco, where he worked on management consulting and acquisition projects for clients including Danone, Heinz, Bestfoods and ConAgra. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details.
