WELCOME TO THE PREVIEW OF THE 2019 BROOKLYN QUIRK’S EVENT! Since 1986, Quirk’s Media has been dedicated to promoting the understanding, use and value of marketing research and customer INSIDE... insights across all industries by delivering a wide range of free resources for marketing research professionals, from our magazine and e-newsletter to our Webinars and directories of research product and service providers. In 2015, after seeing the need for a low-cost, inclusive conference for marketing researchers, we held the first-ever Quirk’s Event in Brooklyn, N.Y., a gathering that has sold out of exhibitor and attendee space every year since. To keep costs low for attendees and exhibitors alike, we eliminated the keynote speakers and sit-down luncheons of other industry events. By making it affordable for everyone, the goal is to maximize attendance and provide the most inclusive marketing research experience with the best ROI for all. This year, in addition to Brooklyn (March 5-6), we have expanded The Quirk’s Event schedule to include gatherings in London (February 12-13) and Chicago (April 2-3). The Quirk’s Event is a two-day experience, packed with more than 70 30-minute education and learning sessions delivered by client-side researchers or research vendors (sometimes both!) on a range of topics, from case studies and explorations of best practices to deep dives on specific Great tips for methods or techniques. Speaking slots are chosen based strictly on educational value and are not experiencing Brooklyn. sales pitches. (Presenters must agree to adhere to the Quirk’s Q-mandments, page B26 which stipulate that sessions must be interesting, informative and sales- free.) At the center of the action is the exhibit hall, which is designed to be a fun, interactive venue for face-to-face meetings between attendees and our valued industry supporters. In the following pages you’ll find profiles of selected speakers and sessions along with overviews of networking opportunities, dining options and expo exhibitors. (While current at press time, information is of course subject to change!) At the show, you’ll find a daily agenda, map and list of exhibitors as well as information about food and drink and special exhibit hall experiences. We want to make The Quirk’s Event a regular part of your ongoing efforts to learn and grow as an insights professional, so please let me know your thoughts on how we can improve your experience.

  • Paper 2: the Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with Extra Images July 2015
    Industrial Lyme - Paper 2: The Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with extra images July 2015 Like all research, this is on-going. If you know more, or are descended from any of the families involved, please get in touch with the author via Lyme Regis Museum. Summary Woollen cloth has been made in the Lim Valley from at least medieval times, but this paper is more about the factories in Lyme Regis and Uplyme that made high-quality West of England coat cloths. The factories in Lyme were bankrupt in 1847, leaving the Uplyme factory to soldier on against Yorkshire competition until it was destroyed by fire in 1866, whilst being modernised. In Lyme the factories were started up again in the 1850s to make silk thread and hemp twine, but only for a short period; these are the subjects of other papers in this series. This paper contains: the background to the trade, the history of the factories and a walking trail to see the mills. Cloth making – the essential process in a nutshell Sheep fleeces are packed on the farm into big canvas bags called woolsacks. At the factory the fleeces are scoured (washed) to remove lanolin (wool- grease), dirt and adhering vegetable material. Then the fleeces are scribbled (torn up into pieces), combed and carded to produce rovings, long strips of wool ready for spinning. Washed and combed fleece being fed into a carding machine at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon Industrial Lyme Paper 2 – The Woollen Cloth Industry © R Bull & Lyme Regis Museum 1 Spinning means to draw out and twist - and by this process the scales of the individual wool fibres lock together to produce a thread known as a single.

  • Textiles Under Mughals
    Chapter V Textiles under Mughals- The advent of the Mughal dynasty gave an undeniable boost to production of the up-market textile, as to other craft. Textiles are singled out for mentioned by Abul Fazl, the minister and biographer of Akbar (1556-1605), in his Ain-i-Akbari, compile in the 1590‟s as a subject in which the emperor took particular interest. Akbar favoured woollen garment – the chosen wear of Sufis (Muslim mystics) – „from his indifference to everything that is worldly‟ in preference to the richer stuffs. His penchant for wool is also indicated by the steps he took to improve shawl manufacture; especially in the relation to dyes and width of fabric.1 Ain-i- Akbari goes into fascinating details on the manner of classifying garments in the imperial wardrobe (toshkhana). The textiles were arranged according to the date of entry which was recorded, sometime with other information, on a label tacked on to the piece (practice which survived in provision toshkhana into the 20th century). Price, colour and weight were also taken into account. Within these boundaries, textile took precedence according to the nature of the day, astrologically auspicious or otherwise on which they were received. A further refinement took into account the colours, of which thirty five are listed in the order of precedence. Abul Fazl further records that imperial workshops had been set up in the cities of Lahore, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Ahmedabad, where the best of the local craftsmen were requisitioned to supply the needs of the court.2 Persian masters were brought in to teach improved techniques.

  • A Clinical Study Comparing Helicoll with Scarlet Red & Opsite in The
    A Clinical Study Comparing Helicoll with Scarlet Red & Opsite in the Treatment of Split Thickness Skin Graft Donor Site Article Type: Manuscript Institution where the Clinical Study was performed: Shriners Burn Hospital 815 Market Street, Galveston, TX 77550-2725 Authors: Prema Dhanraj, MD; Iman AL-Haj, MD,FRCS; David Chinkes, PhD; Steven March, RN,BS; David Herndon, MD,FACS; Robert McCauley, MD Abstract: Split thickness skin graft (STSG) is a key method in the reconstructive ladder for covering skin defects utilized widely by surgeons from all specialties. The donor site is often a source of delayed healing, associated with considerable pain and discomfort even more than the recipient wound. Various methods are used for dressing of split thickness skin graft donor sites, unfortunately many of these techniques have the potential for contributing to pain, delayed healing, interference with ambulation and scarring. The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to compare Helicoll®, a type I pure collagen dressing, to Opsite® dressing and to Scarlet Red® dressing in the treatment of standardized split thickness skin graft donor sites. Thirty patients, over a 3-month period, underwent various reconstructive procedures, necessitating the use of split thickness skin grafts. Analysis of data: donor site pain, healing time of the donor site, initial absorption of the applied dressing and rate of infection with the three different dressings form the basis of this paper. Results: Patients in the Helicoll group reported significantly less pain and required no dressing change. The infection rate of the donor site in this group was less when compared with the Opsite or the Scarlet red groups.

  • Online Retailing, Big Box Stores, and the Rise of Restaurants*
    The Recent Evolution of Physical Retail Markets: Online Retailing, Big Box Stores, and the Rise of Restaurants* Francine Lafontaine and Jagadeesh Sivadasan Ross School of Business, University of Michigan This draft: December 16, 2019 Preliminary draft – Please do not circulate, comments welcome Abstract We examine changes in the retail sector in the US over the period 1999 to 2017, a period during which new technologies and forms of competition have been associated with what has been dubbed a “retail apocalypse” in the trade press and beyond. Consistent with this notion of “retail apocalypse,” we begin by confirming a sizable decline in the number of establishments in the retail sector defined per the currently used NAICS classification scheme. We further document a strong increase in e-commerce sales from nonstore retailers, and find suggestive evidence that sectors experiencing greater penetration of e-commerce exhibited larger relative decline in sales, number of physical stores, employment, and total payroll. However, the growth of Big Box stores (NAICS 45291), the second main factor often blamed for the reduction in number of retail establishments, flattened starkly after 2009, and we find that changes in other retail activity in a county is, on average, positively correlated with increases in the presence of Big Box stores. Moreover, despite the documented lower number of physical stores in 2017 compared to the start of the period, we find that both employment levels, real sales, real value added and real payroll of brick and mortar
