  • Film-maker shares “Angelic Experience” He Had With UFO

    Film-maker shares “Angelic Experience” He Had With UFO

    NEW FILM OUT NOW ON TUBI AND AMAZON PRIME

    THE PARANORMAL UFO CONNECTION

    The new film by award winning film-maker Mark Christopher Lee is now streaming on Tubi. The film explores the paranormal nature to UFO encounters and investigates the links between them.

    Lee shares his own “Alien” experience he had as a child which he’s sure was Angelic in nature. He adds:

    “When I was young I had a weird experience of a blue shining light and face appearing on my bedroom wall, it was like a portal had opened from another dimension or world. It was breaking the “Angel” for want of a better word gave me a message that everything was going to be ok. Well, from the next day onwards my world turned upside down and my abusive childhood started but this divine or alien message gave me the courage to get through.”

    “At the time I was sure it was an Angel but now after investigating UFOs and Alien Experiences that people have had I think it may have been an alien encounter, or that Angels and Aliens are the same type of being or energy.”

    The film also explores the mysteries of Quantum Physics and how maybe quantum entanglement may hold the key to explaining both paranormal and UFO experiences. The film features Evelyn Hollow from TV’s Uncanny and also Yvette Fielding from Most Haunted.

    Ian Broadmore a world renowned Demonologist also looks at the links between Aliens and Demons and he states, along with Nick Pope who used to front the UK’s UFO desk for the Military, that many in both the US and UK governments believe that UFOs are demonic in nature. Pope states:

    “Luis Elizondo the whistleblower who used to work for the US government on UFOS was told by a prominent Pentagon official to leave UFOS and alone and to go away and read his bible. This is the attitude that is still prevalent and which why we are not getting full UFO disclosure.”

    The film is out now on Tubi and coming to Amazon Prime soon.

  • New MyŠkoda app combining several new functions in one application for enhanced customer experience

    New MyŠkoda app combining several new functions in one application for enhanced customer experience

    The refreshed MyŠkoda app now serves as a unified platform for owners of all current compatible Škoda models. It offers seamless vehicle access and introduces a wide range of new and further improved features, including smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel as well as Track & Explore and a loyalty program for users, initially rolled out in selected markets. Moreover, the integration of Powerpass into the app streamlines the charging process for electric Škoda vehicles, consolidating these services into one convenient, intuitively designed app.

    Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing, says: “At Škoda Auto, we put our customers first and strive to make their journey as seamless as possible. Listening to our customers’ feedback is therefore essential to enhance their user experience inside and outside the car through innovative new features. We are thus enhancing the functionality of the MyŠkoda app, migrating all features to one platform. With the integration of Powerpass, EV and Plug-in hybrid customers have direct access with our new app to more than 660,000 charging points across Europe. And with smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel, we are further facilitating everyday life of many more customers.”

    New features, easier to use and compatible with all current models

    With the updated MyŠkoda app, customers benefit from several new features bundled in one application as well as from a more intuitive design. Customers of all-electric, plug-in hybrid and conventional power train models receive access to new features that make their everyday life easier, for example through smart services like Pay to Park and Pay to Fuel. Introducing a completely new look, the updated app features a brand-new home screen, revised graphics and an informative widget, which makes the app even easier to use.

    All current and upcoming models support the newest update, including those with combustion engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains manufactured after July 2020. Users who previously used the MyŠkoda Essentials app can now make transition to the new MyŠkoda app, keeping their existing Škoda account. Meanwhile, owners of Škoda models produced until July 2020 will continue to use the MyŠkoda Essentials app for the time being.

    A wide range of new features

    The updated MyŠkoda app integrates numerous digital services from Škoda Connect and now covers additional parts along the customer journey. Users anticipating delivery of their Škoda car will appreciate the new Track & Explore function, which offers real-time information on the vehicle’s production status. Additionally, they can review their vehicle’s configuration at any time. For those eager to explore their new vehicle’s functionalities, the app provides access to how-to videos in the UK, Ireland, France and Spain.

    The improved MyŠkoda app now also includes new smart services for customers, who already received their car. With Pay to Park, the app simplifies the process of recognising of parking zones and paying for parking in various cities across Europe. Pay to Fuel is another new smart feature that enables automatic payments at selected fuelling stations, skipping the queue at the cashier.

    Integration of Powerpass: More than 660,000 charging points in one app

    For drivers of the Enyaq and PHEV models, the refreshed MyŠkoda app provides additional new features. Most important, Powerpass charging is now integrated directly in the MyŠkoda app – making the old app obsolete. The new feature is granting access to more than 660,000 charging points across Europe thanks to partnerships with more than 870 providers. It also simplifies the management of home charging solutions, such as the Škoda iV Chargers. On top of that, the app offers the possibility to manage charging plans, use the Plug & Charge function, and view the charging history. Current Powerpass users can download or update the MyŠkoda app, navigate to the Powerpass section and confirm their Škoda ID connection for a fully automatic data transfer. Checking the Škoda Enyaq’s charging status from home or activating the Climate Control before setting off are just two further examples of the extended functionality of the MyŠkoda app.

    A more intuitive design and additional entertainment options

    The app’s new design further improves the user experience providing a design comparable to a simplified home screen. Additionally, essential information – like the charging or vehicle status – can now be displayed through widgets on the home screen, enhancing accessibility. The new MyŠkoda app also adds convenience for guest users, allowing, for example, the remote control of charging and air conditioning for their partner’s Enyaq.

    In addition, the new MyŠkoda app offers a dynamic news feed featuring visuals and articles from the world of Škoda. Moreover, a loyalty programme has been introduced in the UK, Ireland, France, and Spain, allowing users to earn points by completing various challenges. These points can be redeemed for Škoda merchandise.

  • Empowering Rental Companies Worldwide: Supercar Sharing’s Commission-Free Platform

    Empowering Rental Companies Worldwide: Supercar Sharing’s Commission-Free Platform

    Supercar Sharing®, a innovator in the luxury car rental industry, has unveiled an exciting new listing platform including innovative features designed to optimize the way luxury rental companies connect with clients worldwide. With the launch of this platform, Supercar Sharing aims to elevate the rental experience for both renters and clients, offering unprecedented access to luxury vehicles from verified rental companies across the globe.

    Since its inception in 2021, Supercar Sharing has rapidly gained traction in the market, doubling its traffic from 2022. In 2023, the platform attracted over 30,000 unique visitors and generated more than 220,000 web views, as per Google Analytics metrics. With this impressive growth trajectory, Supercar Sharing is poised to become one of the most visited car rental platforms globally by 2026, providing a dynamic marketplace for luxury car enthusiasts and rental companies alike.

    Supercar Sharing’s newly introduced car management system allows rental companies to effortlessly edit vehicles from their inventory, ensuring optimal fleet control and organization. Coupled with comprehensive vehicle descriptions and data, rental companies can showcase their fleet with detail including engine soundcheck and even a 3d virtualization of their vehicles, captivating potential clients and enhancing their market presence.

    One of Supercar Sharing’s key differentiators is its commitment to empowering rental companies without charging commissions. While traditional rental platforms typically impose hefty commission fees ranging from 10% to 30% on vehicle bookings, which significantly diminishes a rental company’s revenue potential, Supercar Sharing disrupts this model by offering subscription-based listings. This enables rental firms to retain the highest profits possible, maximizing their revenue potential and driving sustainable growth.

    Moreover, Supercar Sharing empowers rental companies with flexible pricing configurations, enabling them to set rates based on various factors such as duration, season, location, and vehicle type.

    In addition to robust car management, presentation and pricing features, the Supercar Sharing platform facilitates direct communication between rental companies and clients, fostering transparency and trust throughout the rental process. Through integrated messaging systems, rental companies can address inquiries promptly and provide personalized assistance, enhancing the overall rental experience for clients.

    “We’re thrilled to introduce these groundbreaking features to the luxury car rental industry,” said Deivis H. Valdes, CEO of Supercar Sharing AG. “At Supercar Sharing, we’re dedicated to empowering rental companies with advanced tools and resources to thrive in today’s competitive market. Our commission-free model and subscription-based listings ensure that rental firms can unlock their full earning potential while providing a professional and transparent rental experience to clients. With our new platform, we aim to not only streamline operations but also elevate the industry standards, offering unparalleled convenience and profitability for our partners and clients.”

    The new feature serves as an additional platform for rental companies to showcase their fleet of luxury vehicles, allowing them to reach a broader audience of discerning clients.
