Thick Wall Glass Candle Jar – Black 150mls

February 3, 2025 | News | No Comments

This is a very strong, thick glass jar and complies with ASTM 2179 AND 2147 testing methods. (Ensures glass is able to withstand heat and has no cracks or fractures)

Measurements: Height 7.5cm, Width 7.5cm.

Approximate Volume: 150mls

Finish: Black inner spray*

We recommend 2mm Cotton Wicks for this jar.

* As theses candle jars have undergone a water soluble paint finish, (rather than a solvent finish) they are more prone to scratching, so please take care when handling the jars. Washing, soaking and immersing the candle jars in soapy water will soften and deteriorate the finish. Use only a DRY – soft cloth (microfibre is best) to remove dust, prior to filling. The water soluble paint finish performs just like coloured glass during burning.

Whoever vs. Whomever

February 2, 2025 | News | No Comments

Whoever and whomever are both pronouns. Choosing which one
to use in a sentence, however, has been a challenge for many English speakers
and writers. You could’ve sworn these two are always interchangeable.

.

If you’re one of those people who are still confuse about
which one to use, just remember this simple rule:

  • he/she = whoever
  • him/her  =
    whomever

Whoever vs. Whomever Explained

Whoever

Keep in mind that whoever
is a subject pronoun. Its role is to be the subject of a verb. Here are some
examples:

  • Give the flyers to whoever asks for them. (Whoever
    is the subject of the verb asks)
  • Whoever
    is ready can go first. (Whoever is
    the subject of the verb is. We can
    verify it by saying “He is ready”)
  • My boss will hire whoever is nice to him.
  • The coach will kick out whoever skips basic training.

.

You can also use whoever
as a subject complement.

  • Whoever you are, I like you already.
  • Whoever it was did not leave any fingerprint.
  • Whoever he was appeared lonely.

Whomever

Whomever is an object pronoun. It follows a verb or
proposition. Examples:

  • You can marry whomever you love. (Whomever is the object of the verb love . “You love him, so you can marry him.”)
  • Whomever
    Jack chooses is OK to me. (Whomever
    is the object of the verb chooses. “Jack chooses her and it’s OK to me.”)
  • I will be happy to welcome whomever you hire today.  (Whomever is the object of the verb hire. “You hire him/her”)

Just get rid of them

Still can’t tell which one to use? Just remove
whoever/whomever altogether. Rewrite your sentences so you won’t need either.

.

Rewrite this:

.

Give this memo to whoever/whomever at the legal department
downstairs.

.

Into this:

.

Give this memo to somebody at the legal department
downstairs.

.

And this:

.

Whoever/whomever eat my
donuts, you’re in big trouble.

.

Into this:

.

The one who eats my
donuts is in big trouble.

.

See?  Problem’s
solved.

.

Anyway, if grammar is not your strong point and you have
more than just whoever/whomever to think about, just get some help. We’re
talking about using the online
grammar and spelling checker. It’s free and easy to use so you really don’t
have any excuse for not using it.

The Future of Peptide-based Drugs

February 2, 2025 | News | No Comments

The Future of Peptide-based Drugs
David J. Craik, David P. Fairlie, Spiros Liras, David Price
Chem. Biol. Drug Design, 2013, 81, 136–147.
DOI: 10.1111/cbdd.12055

The suite of currently used drugs can be divided into two categories – traditional ‘small molecule’ drugs with typical molecular weights of <500 Da but with oral bioavailability, and much larger ‘biologics’ typically >5000 Da that are not orally bioavailable and need to be delivered via injection. Due to their small size, conventional small molecule drugs may suffer from reduced target selectivity that often ultimately manifests in human side-effects, whereas protein therapeutics tend to be exquisitely specific for their targets due to many more interactions with them, but this comes at a cost of low bioavailability, poor membrane permeability, and metabolic instability. The time has now come to reinvestigate new drug leads that fit between these two molecular weight extremes, with the goal of combining advantages of small molecules (cost, conformational restriction, membrane permeability, metabolic stability, oral bioavailability) with those of proteins (natural components, target specificity, high potency). This article uses selected examples of peptides to highlight the importance of peptide drugs, some potential new opportunities for their exploitation, and some difficult challenges ahead in this field.

Here's the lowdown on how to subscribe to Allure's print edition for more beauty routines, recommendations, and features.

Lucy Hale is known for her thick, luscious, and highly photogenic eyebrows — but as it turns out, the former Pretty Little Liars star wasn't always a fan of the bold brow look. We know because, this weekend, she shared several throwback photos of herself on Instagram, including one from her teenage years in which she had pencil-thin brows á la the infamous '90s beauty trend. And well, we won't lie, folks: It's a little shocking to see Hale without her signature arches.

The Almay ambassador took to her Instagram Stories on Friday night to share the aforementioned photo with fans. As you can see, it's a black-and-white number that features Hale with a moody facial expression, long flowing hair, and barely-there brows. "Omg, look at my brows," Hale can be heard saying on her Story, followed by, "Yikes…"

It's definitely wild to see the actress without her the dramatic brows she's become famous for, and yet, it's also cool to see how far they've come over the years. Of course, we have to imagine Hale has received a slew of DMs from fans and friends who are just as mind-blown by the throwback photo as we are. It just goes to show how much impact brows can have on a person's whole look.

Ever wonder how Hale got so blessed in the brow department? In 2017, Hale revealed she inherited her gorgeous bushy brows from her father in an adorable selfie with him. "Ya wonder where I got my brows from?

High-immersive virtual reality technology, or VR, has become a true game-changer for the eCommerce industry. The same is true for modern-day consumers, given the fact that VR has made it easy and convenient for them to shop online. The technology is gradually seeing its popularity in the mass market, with several big brands seeking better and more informative ways of e-tailing.

How is VR shaping the customer online shopping experience

Besides selecting products from the comforts of their homes, consumers can now examine them closely, replicating a brick-and-mortar store. Thus, it can be safely said that VR is shaping the customer experience to a great extent.

In case you wonder how new-age online shopping is getting influenced by virtual reality, read this article until the end. Learn how this innovative technology affects purchase decisions and what the future has in store for VR. Let’s begin!

What is VR shopping?

In simple words, VR shopping is the application of virtual reality technology in an online shopping journey that offers a further immersive and personalized shopping experience to the end consumer. There are different ways of leveraging VR in marketing and promotions in the eCommerce realm. The ultimate goal of shopping through VR technology is to bridge the gap between in-store shopping and digital shopping, almost replicating a human touch.

Online shoppers thus get a multichannel experience that is interactive, personalized, and immersive.

With a VR shopping journey, there’s no time or geographical limit or barrier. One gets real-time virtual assistance, online interactions, virtual showrooms and trial rooms, and many more. These innovative marketing touch-points bring a global shopping experience, making customers better informed. They are also more inclined to browse other products of the brand.

How does virtual reality influence customers’ purchase decisions?

The beauty of VR lies in replicating a real-world environment within a virtual space. This immersive experience creates an immense sensory impact on online shoppers when they engage with the brand or the listed products. From a business perspective, this can be utilized as leverage for better customer interaction and user engagement.

There have been several successful marketing advertisements and promotional campaigns that have resorted to this virtually engaging eCommerce technology that acts on an emotional level. Emotional VR campaigns have now become a trend among global brands, especially apparel and beauty product chains.

With these emotional VR-driven promotions, brands can showcase their products in unique ways. At the same time, customers enjoy the products on an emotional level beyond computer screens. They can witness highly realistic product presentations or demonstrations, as they do during a physical shopping spree. The experiences can be scary, overwhelming, humorous, nostalgic, and so on; simply put, anything that tugs the sentiment.

The biggest advantage of VR is that shoppers can play around with and test a product within a virtual simulation while observing the product closely. This not only helps them make an informed purchase decision but also gives them value for their money. A lot of global eCommerce brands, namely Alibaba, IKEA, The North Face, etc., were the early adopters of VR-powered online retail methods. These virtual reality shopping experiments saw a significant rise in sales and customer satisfaction.

In what ways is VR technology shaping the online shopping experience?

Users can gain VR experience in various ways while they shop or shuffle through their favorite eCommerce platform. According to a PwC survey from last year, one-third of online shoppers have used VR to make purchases. This signals a paradigm shift in the online retail market, apart from the prevalent use of VR in games, TV shows, and movies.

Mostly, the millennials (people born in the 1990s) and the Gen Zs (people born between the late 1990s-2000s) are inclined toward VR-driven promotions. They love to create their personalized virtual “3D avatars” based on their own body measurements while trying out clothes. Fashion apparel brand Hugo Boss has adopted a similar digital fitting room where 3D models of customers can be used as lifelike mannequins.

Let’s check out a few more ways in which VR is shaping the online shopping experience for modern-day consumers. If any of our readers happen to be brand owners, they can get some food for thought on how to utilize the technology for their virtual store.

  1. Configure products through virtual “try-ons”

    Virtual “try-ons” are the latest buzz in the tech world that has gradually made its way to the consumer market. Several big apparel and luxury footwear brands have adopted the technology for their product listings. With this, prospects can try the product virtually and see themselves walking, running, and playing in it.

    This gives them a clear idea of the real-world functions of the product. They can also make more data-driven purchases instead of the guesswork that is often a problem while shopping online.

  2. Check the product in 360° view with VR tools

    To better examine products, customers can check them from all angles through VR headsets. Highly detailed and custom 3D models of the product are made in specialized software, which can be viewed through the VR tool within a real-life setting. Buyers can play around with the product, feel themselves in it, and be one with it before purchasing.

  3. VR shopping creates memorable connections

    The enhanced shopping experiences felt in a VR simulation are 100% life-like and hyper-realistic. This creates a feeling of mixed emotions that play on customer psychology. When customers are emotionally invested in an ad or a campaign, chances are higher that they will be inclined to buy the product.

  4. Consumers can see the products in action

    How a piece of furniture assembles, how a hi-tech looking kitchen appliance works, how a beautiful lighting decor looks in a real-world ambience – all can be seen in a virtual simulation. Buyers can closely examine how their ergonomic, modular furniture works without actually visiting the store.

    With product 3D animations, though, the utilities of an appliance or a furniture item can be shown, but VR simulation helps them gain the experience themselves, being almost close to real in-store shopping.

  5. Customize the commodities per their preferences

    Be it lipstick shades, foundations, hair colors, watch bands, eyegear, or contact lenses, prospective buyers can see for themselves which color suits them the best. Based on their preferences and skin tones, they can personalize the items from the virtual product display.

    For especially eyegear pieces, a person’s facial and bone structure matter the most. Through VR apps, customers can customize their selected items based on this. The recent shopping trends speak a lot about these personalization flexibilities.

  6. Simulations amidst different contextual settings

    Virtual reality also simulates different interior set-ups designed in 3D. Thus, with special >virtual reality apps, buyers can check the products for themselves in different contextual room settings. It can be a gym, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living room, attic, or basement.

    These VR rooms can be showcased in exhibitions and tech symposiums for massive brand awareness and product promotions.

  7. An immersive shopping experience for modern-age buyers

    The inherent essence of virtual reality lies in its gamification, interactivity, and immersiveness. Throughout the steps in a customer’s journey, from awareness to consideration to purchase – all the touchpoints become super-exciting and engrossing. The encounter feels like one is playing a computer game with VR consoles, goggles, and controllers.

    In a virtually created interactive shopping environment, buyers can pick and try stuff, move on to the next, and customize it per their choice. The VR-enhanced experience is one of its kind, ushering customers towards the final stage of the sales funnel.

The future of VR in eCommerce industry

The eCommerce industry has become a vast, never-ending realm where, each day, millions of online stores are formed. Be it small businesses, start-ups, SMEs/SMBs, or eCommerce giants like Amazon, Alibaba, Target, Walmart, etc., standing out in the crowd is the ultimate sales mantra. With product 3D modeling,360 degree product configurators, 3D product animations, etc., online sellers are trying to form an omni-channel user experience for rising online shoppers. There are different types of 3D product renderings used in marketing these days for faster brand recognition.

Also, with augmented reality marketing and the worldwide acceptance of AI, a sort of mixed reality (MR) approach is the imminent future for online commerce in the upcoming years. For instance, we are already witnessing the rise of AR in the furniture industry, as well as the growing effects of the metaverse and XR, also known as extended reality.

These innovative retail technologies will yield new possibilities for e-tailers to drive customer loyalty and carve a niche for themselves. So, together, we can see a completely digitally transformed consumer market that blends the human touch with digital innovations. All that eCommerce brands can do is ride the tide of adopting VR into their marketing strategies and accept it with its challenges and limitations.

Wrapping up!

If you have reached this point, by now, you have gained solid knowledge about virtual reality technology and how VR is shaping customer experience and online commerce. Developing powerful and intuitive VR apps and VR-driven retail innovations must be given due weight to ensure lifelong customer loyalty. In the coming years, we might get to see more of these immersive 3D visualization technologies driving further intuitive interactions for customers, making them feel valued, empowered, and better informed.

There are several accomplished 3D design service-providing agencies that develop custom VR-compatible 3D product models. VR models must be detailed and hyper-realistic when customers access them. The movements and postures must also be highly organic and accurate, replicating human movements. Thus, hiring experts in the domain generates the best possible results.

Until then, give this interesting article another read and get immersed in virtual reality. Good luck!

For as long as we can remember, we’ve been fascinated by the way things are made. Since childhood, we have been tinkering with toys and electronic gadgets, taking them apart so we could understand them and learn how to create those same items ourselves.

Along the way, one of the things we learned was the importance of access to great tools. We were very fortunate to attend incredible schools and join great companies which offered cutting edge technology and expertise. This gave us the opportunity to study and understand at a deep level the way things are made. We are keenly aware that such resources aren’t available to all.

And while there’s been a number of recent developments (e.g. falling costs + new desktop/software tools) that have sparked the world of hardware, we believe many looming issues remain in the current system that make bringing a commercially viable hardware product to market challenging — issues like no-quotes for students and new businesses, fragmented ecosystems, inefficient quote/order/tracking systems, and little competitive advantage for local vendors, just to name a few.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce today that Moddler and Fictiv are partnering to combat many of these very issues and help democratize hardware development together.

Going forward, Fictiv will be providing all of Moddler’s sales, support, and job scheduling needs through the Fictiv platform. And as a result, Fictiv customers will get even greater access to the amazing quality of work at Moddler.

When we first met John and his team 18 months ago it was apparent that the quality of their work was second to none. Moddler’s singular focus on providing consistent, reliable, and high quality 3D parts was unquestionable and the best we’d seen.

Vendors like Moddler are the cornerstones of the ecosystem for democratizing hardware development. Together, we’re committed to building a system that rewards smaller vendors who take pride in their craft and elevates them with the economies of scale that typically only larger manufacturing companies are able to realize.

Above all else, we believe that every designer + engineer that wants access to the same tools as Ford, Apple, and Tesla should have that opportunity. This alliance is an important step toward making this a reality.

We hope you’ll join us.
