Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Future Rocks , the online marketplace for lab grown diamond jewelry, launched in 2021. However, co-founder and CEO Anthony Tsang firmly believes that physical activations are key to its ongoing expansion. “Physical activations provide us with the opportunity to interact in person with our customers, to let them see, feel, sense and wear our jewelry. For many, it’s the first time they have seen lab-grown diamonds in person. Doing this, we can engage with our customers 360 degrees: online plus offline.” “Physical activations also enable us to further amplify our marketing and PR efforts as they generate awareness in a different kind of way,” he adds. “Going forward, this is a strategy which we will continue to pursue and refine.” Following launches in Japan and China in the second half of 2022, the platform solidified its footprint in the Japanese market in January with a pop-up at Tokyo's luxury department … [Read more...] about Why The Farfetch Of Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry Is Getting Physical

WeChat: China’s Other Trojan Horse
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Momentum is growing behind a bill in Congress to do what we’ve been arguing for in this column for close to two years, i.e. banning Chinese social media app TikTok. It’s the app that some term China’s “Trojan horse” for inserting Beijing’s control over U.S. user’s data and hearts and minds. At the same time, China’s other social media Trojan Horse, WeChat, and its parent company Tencent, have been getting a lot less attention. When the Trump administration banned TikTok from U.S. markets in 2020—a ban which a federal judge blocked and then the Biden administration reversed—the executive order included another Chinese social media app, WeChat. While not as psychologically menacing as the TikTok app with its invasive ByteDance algorithms, WeChat may pose an even greater danger from the angle that alarmed government officials from the very start, as an app that gives the Chinese government direct access to user data in the US. … [Read more...] about WeChat: China’s Other Trojan Horse
James Cameron Finally Admits ‘Jack Might’ve Lived’ On Raft At The End Of ‘Titanic’
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Titanic director James Cameron has finally admitted that Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jack “might’ve lived” at the end of the movie when the titular ocean liner crashed into an iceberg and sank, Variety and Rolling Stone reported Thursday, giving credence to an obsessive 25-year-old fan theory. Key Facts To celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary, Cameron participated in a National Geographic special, “Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron,” in which three scientific tests were performed by stunt actors to determine if Jack could have fit on a makeshift raft along with Rose, which saved her life. In the one successful test, stunt actors who were roughly the same size as DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who portrayed Rose, performed the “strenuous activities” that the characters went through in the film before they got off the sinking ship, before balancing on the raft with only the lower portions … [Read more...] about James Cameron Finally Admits ‘Jack Might’ve Lived’ On Raft At The End Of ‘Titanic’
‘Marvel Snap’ Seems Determined Not To Let Me Play My Cards
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Marvel Snap has a weird, growing new problem, one that actually has nothing to do with its monetization or potential pay-to-win aspects. What’s happened with Marvel Snap is that in addition to introducing new cards over time, it also introduces new themed locations. And lately, many of those locations seem based around not allowing you to actually…play cards in your deck. The problem is that the more of these new locations exist, the more they can be paired together. And when one of them is a featured location, which can show up in 40% or more of every game, it can create for some truly obnoxious board states where you can barely do anything and if you’re lucky, the game may come down to a single lane. Right now, the current culprit is Plunder Castle, and lane where you can literally not play anything but 6 cost cards. And that means even six costs card that have been reduced to 5 don’t count. So it’s blank lane … [Read more...] about ‘Marvel Snap’ Seems Determined Not To Let Me Play My Cards

World Cancer Day 2023 | Precision oncology is a new way of looking at cancer treatment: Dr Sewanti Limaye
Dr Sewanti Limaye, Director, Precision Oncology, HN Reliance Hospital and Research Centre. Cancer is among the most researched diseases in the world. For most cancers, early detection is rare, and there isn’t enough consensus among oncologists, researchers and practitioners of non-Western medicine on its exact causes. Overall, a few broad causes have been conclusively established: Cancer may arise as a consequence of genomic abnormalities such as mutations, or when the body’s immune system weakens or collapses, or due to external assaults to the body such as tobacco use, exposure to chemicals and radiation and certain infections. But much like the human body, much of this disease is a mystery. There is no one cause and there is no one cure. As Pulitzer Prize-winning author and oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee has written in his cancer magnum opus The Emperor of All Maladies , “That this seemingly simple mechanism—cell growth without barriers—can lie at the heart of this … [Read more...] about World Cancer Day 2023 | Precision oncology is a new way of looking at cancer treatment: Dr Sewanti Limaye
It’s A Gas: Hyundai Hopes To Regain Hydrogen Leadership With Futuristic New SUV
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Hyundai Motor reveals its new FE Fuel Cell Concept, indicating the design direction for the ... [+] automaker's new fuel cell car, due out next year. JUNG YEON-JE/AFP/Getty Images Hyundai Motor announced last week that it will try to reclaim its early leadership in hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles by releasing a new fuel-cell SUV next year with an industry-best range of 500 miles. Corporate cousin Kia will produce its own fuel-cell vehicle by 2020, the Korean automaker said. The new hydrogen car is part of Hyundai’s plans to put 14 more eco-friendly vehicles on the road by 2020. The question now is: Can any automaker get consumers to care about fuel-cell cars? Hyundai began its fuel-cell program in 1999 and stuck with it as other automakers waned or dropped out and was the first to start assembly-line production of a fuel-cell vehicle – the Tucson Fuel Cell – in 2013. But a lack of hydrogen fueling stations – … [Read more...] about It’s A Gas: Hyundai Hopes To Regain Hydrogen Leadership With Futuristic New SUV
