New Luxury Homeware Startup Launches To Disrupt High-end Shopping

A New Web-Based Startup Called Qosy Has Launched Today To Make Home Furnishing And Discovering Luxury Items More Interactive For High-End Shoppers.

2014-04-19

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 19, 2014 (Press-News.org) The website Qosy.co was launched today by digital marketing agency, Venture Harbour, to make home furnishing and discovering luxury items easier and more interactive for shoppers wishing to enjoy the finer things in life.

The website launched today with a basic beta-version, which features a full-screen area where users can scroll through inspirational interior design photographs - and click through to buy items that they wish to add to their homes. Conceptually, Qosy intends to become a comprehensive online catalogue that enlists products from popular high-end retailers. Instead of having lots of windows open, and comparing between websites, you will be able to compare products from different websites all within Qosy's intuitive interface.

Qosy will soon unveil the core sections of their website, which will include comparison guides, luxury designer spotlights, and in-depth reviews of luxury goods beyond homeware.

Marcus Taylor, CEO of Venture Harbour, the company behind Qosy, says: "Every now and again we have a 'hack day' at Venture Harbour, where we try to create a useful or creative web project in a short space of time. Qosy was one of the ideas that we built, and kept on coming back to. Although it is very much in its infancy, we hope for Qosy to become an influential player in the luxury space."

Marcus adds: "We will initially focus on creating exceptional content and building our influence in the homeware space, but we do hope to soon begin exploring luxury travel, gifts, and other aspects of luxury living. We intend for Qosy to be the 'go-to' site for luxury shoppers."

Venture Harbour is a unique digital marketing agency that focuses on building their own online businesses, as well as consulting to a small number of exciting and promising companies.

Qosy is a luxury homeware startup created to help high-end shoppers discover luxury items interactively and easily. For more information visit http://qosy.co

Counterfeit contraceptives found in South America

2014-04-19

A survey of emergency contraceptive pills in Peru found that 28 percent of the batches studied were either of substandard quality or falsified. Many pills released the active ingredient too slowly. Others had the wrong active ingredient. One batch had no active ingredient at all. To detect the fake drugs, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology developed a sophisticated approach using mass spectrometry to quickly assess suspected counterfeit drugs and then characterize their chemical composition. The study's results highlight a growing concern for women's ...

Treating depression in PD patients: New research

2014-04-18

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 21, 2014) -- A group of scientists from the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging has found interesting new information in a study on depression and neuropsychological function in Parkinson's disease (PD). Published in the journal Psychiatry Research, the study, which assessed cognitive function in depressed and non-depressed patients with PD, found that the dopamine replacement therapy commonly used to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease was associated with a decline in cognitive performance among ...

Flipping the switch

2014-04-18

Harvard researchers have succeeded in creating quantum switches that can be turned on and off using a single photon, a technological achievement that could pave the way for the creation of highly secure quantum networks. Built from single atoms, the first-of-their-kind switches could one day be networked via fiber optic cables to form the backbone of a "quantum Internet" that allows for perfectly secure communications, said Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin, who led a team consisting of graduate student Jeff Thompson and post-doctoral fellow Tobias Tiecke to construct ...

MRI, on a molecular scale

2014-04-18

For decades, scientists have used techniques like X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) to gain invaluable insight into the atomic structure of molecules, but such efforts have long been hampered by the fact that they demand large quantities of a specific molecule and often in ordered and crystalized form to be effective – making it all but impossible to peer into the structure of most molecules. Harvard researchers, however, say those problems may soon be a thing of the past. A team of scientists, led by Professor of Physics and of Applied ...

Stanford researchers rethink 'natural' habitat for wildlife

2014-04-18

Protecting wildlife while feeding a world population predicted to reach 9 billion by 2050 will require a holistic approach to conservation that considers human-altered landscapes such as farmland, according to Stanford researchers. Wildlife and the natural habitat that supports it might be an increasingly scarce commodity in a world where at least three-quarters of the land surface is directly affected by humans and the rest is vulnerable to human-caused impacts such as climate change. But what if altered agricultural landscapes could play vital roles in nurturing wildlife ...

Finding turns neuroanatomy on its head

2014-04-18

Harvard neuroscientists have made a discovery that turns 160 years of neuroanatomy on its head. Myelin, the electrical insulating material long known to be essential for the fast transmission of impulses along the axons of nerve cells, is not as ubiquitous as thought, according to a new work lead by Professor Paola Arlotta of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) and the University's Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology, in collaboration with Professor Jeff Lichtman, of Harvard's Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. "Myelin is a relatively recent ...

Researchers question published no-till soil organic carbon sequestration rates

2014-04-18

URBANA, Ill. For the past 20 years, researchers have published soil organic carbon sequestration rates. Many of the research findings have suggested that soil organic carbon can be sequestered by simply switching from moldboard or conventional tillage systems to no-till systems. However, there is a growing body of research with evidence that no-till systems in corn and soybean rotations without cover crops, small grains, and forages may not be increasing soil organic carbon stocks at the published rates. "Some studies have shown that both moldboard and no-till systems ...

Sun emits a mid-level solar flare

2014-04-18

The sun emitted a mid-level solar flare, peaking at 9:03 a.m. EDT on April 18, 2014, and NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel. To see how this event may impact Earth, please visit NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center at http://spaceweather.gov, the U.S. government's ...

Researchers find 3-million-year-old landscape beneath Greenland ice sheet

2014-04-18

Glaciers and ice sheets are commonly thought to work like a belt sander. As they move over the land they scrape off everything — vegetation, soil and even the top layer of bedrock. So a team of university scientists and a NASA colleague were greatly surprised to discover an ancient tundra landscape preserved under the Greenland Ice Sheet, below two miles of ice. "We found organic soil that has been frozen to the bottom of the ice sheet for 2.7 million years," said University of Vermont geologist and lead author Paul Bierman. The finding provides strong evidence that the ...

Religious music brings benefit to seniors' mental health

2014-04-18

A new article published online in The Gerontologist reports that among older Christians, listening to religious music is associated with a decrease in anxiety about death and increases in life satisfaction, self-esteem, and sense of control over their lives. In particular, listening to gospel music is associated with a decrease in anxiety about death and an increase in sense of control. These associations are similar for blacks and whites, women and men, and individuals of both low- and high-socioeconomic status. The article, titled "Listening to Religious Music and ...
