    The New Atlas From Boston Dynamics

    We have been impressed with the Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics and now that is about to change with the new Atlas. This new direction takes the robot into the future, which sounds like a strange thing to say, but even robots must evolve and the new Atlas is going to be powered by electricity, which is much better for the machine and easier for any industry that decides to use it within their sector. Standby for Atlas to be in service near you soon.

  • 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.

    Rental companies from all around the world are invited to participate in Supercar Sharing’s new platform. Interested companies can submit their applications to begin listing their luxury vehicles and profiles.

  • Get a year of motoring for less than £130 with Ohme

    Get a year of motoring for less than £130 with Ohme

    With electricity prices reduced from 1st April, EV drivers will be able to charge their cars for less says Ohme, the UK’s largest dynamic smart charging company.

    As the Standard Variable Tariff drops to 24.5p/kWh on 1st April, the lowest price in two years, drivers of electric vehicles will be able to enjoy greater savings when charging at home.

    However, while that will be welcome news for EV drivers keen to reduce their charging costs, Ohme is encouraging those same drivers to make even bigger savings by switching to a smart EV tariff.

    “As more people are trying to lower their household bills, this reduction in the price of electricity will be welcome news for drivers of EVs,” said David Watson, Ohme CEO. “However, they could easily lower those bills further by finding out if their electricity supplier offers a special tariff for EV drivers. If not, then they should consider switching to an energy provider that does to enjoy even bigger savings of running an EV.”

    Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest and lowest cost energy tariffs.

    Charging on the new Standard Variable Tariff in a typical EV for 6800 miles of driving (the UK annual average) would cost £417.00. On a smart EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go* however, the same mileage would cost just £127.50. The same distance in a petrol car would cost more than £1100.

    Ohme is the official charger provider for Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK, as well as Polestar and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland and customers on the Motability scheme, the largest fleet operator in the UK. Ohme has been named as Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards as well as Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV awards

  • APS launches itson batteries for young and urban demographic

    APS launches itson batteries for young and urban demographic

    As of 2024, Advanced Power Solutions (APS) introduces itson batteries, targeting a younger demographic and reshaping the landscape of the mobile energy industry. With a focus on local production and renewable energy, itson is not just a battery. It’s a lifestyle choice for the environmentally conscious, aligning with the evolving preferences of today’s consumers.

    Embracing a conscious lifestyle is no longer just a trend, but a fundamental choice for many. Especially among the younger, urban demographic. This conscious living involves actively seeking ways to reduce environmental impact, such as local shopping, minimising car usage, and avoiding plastics.

    Despite batteries being an integral part of our daily lives, finding eco-friendly options has been challenging. Enter itson batteries: “From everyday household applications to on-the-go products like hearing aids, headphones, and cameras, batteries can now support a more sustainable lifestyle,” says Izabela Blaszczyk-Janicka, Marketing Director at APS.

    A conscious choice

    As part of the brand’s sustainability efforts, both its alkaline and hearing aid batteries are crafted and sourced within the EU. While many batteries rely on resources from across the globe, the brand’s commitment to local production significantly shortens the supply chain, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

    “This is a meaningful step forward in our industry’s journey toward sustainability. By keeping production and distribution within the EU, we cut our supply chain length, resulting in up to three times fewer CO2 emissions than transcontinental supply chains,*” states Sebastian Schulte, Sustainability Manager at APS.

    In addition to a shorter supply chain, the brand emphasises the use of renewable energy in its battery production. itson’s alkaline batteries are manufactured using 100% renewable energy, sourced from solar and wind power. Following the same principle, itson’s rechargeable batteries are pre-charged with solar energy.

    Simplifying decision-making

    Besides its sustainable initiatives, the brand strives for simplicity. itson offers a focused and lean product range of alkaline, rechargeable and specialty batteries, presenting consumers with two distinct options: batteries for low- to mid-drain or high-drain devices, emphasising functionality over unnecessary complexity. The packaging of these two options employs simple language and practical use cases to further simplify consumers’ decision-making. 

    A vibrant approach to sustainable living

    With sustainability as one of the brand’s primary differentiators, itson sets itself further apart from other mobile energy brands by incorporating vibrant colours and engaging communication, making the products stand out on the shelves among other brands. This deliberate choice is rooted in their commitment to visual storytelling: “Our core audience, predominantly young and urban, inspired a playful and bold communication style, aligning with their positive impact mindset,” explains Blaszczyk-Janicka.

    The brand’s tone of voice, characterised by positivity and fun, reflects itson’s belief that sustainability and excitement can go hand in hand. This way, it seeks to inspire not only consumers, but all industry stakeholders. “We feel that the battery market hasn’t changed much in the past decades. We hope that our choices inspire the industry to innovate and rethink their ecological footprint.” With a clear vision of encouraging positive change, itson is determined to reshape the landscape of the mobile energy industry.

    Discover the full itson battery range.

    * Based on average transportation CO2 emissions of production in the EU vs. the production in China.

While many batteries rely on resources from across the globe, the brand’s commitment to local production significantly shortens the supply chain, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint.

    “This is a meaningful step forward in our industry’s journey toward sustainability. By keeping production and distribution within the EU, we cut our supply chain length, resulting in up to three times fewer CO2 emissions than transcontinental supply chains,*” states Sebastian Schulte, Sustainability Manager at APS.

    In addition to a shorter supply chain, the brand emphasises the use of renewable energy in its battery production. itson’s alkaline batteries are manufactured using 100% renewable energy, sourced from solar and wind power. Following the same principle, itson’s rechargeable batteries are pre-charged with solar energy.

    Simplifying decision-making

    Besides its sustainable initiatives, the brand strives for simplicity. itson offers a focused and lean product range of alkaline, rechargeable and specialty batteries, presenting consumers with two distinct options: batteries for low- to mid-drain or high-drain devices, emphasising functionality over unnecessary complexity. The packaging of these two options employs simple language and practical use cases to further simplify consumers’ decision-making. 

    A vibrant approach to sustainable living

    With sustainability as one of the brand’s primary differentiators, itson sets itself further apart from other mobile energy brands by incorporating vibrant colours and engaging communication, making the products stand out on the shelves among other brands. This deliberate choice is rooted in their commitment to visual storytelling: “Our core audience, predominantly young and urban, inspired a playful and bold communication style, aligning with their positive impact mindset,” explains Blaszczyk-Janicka.

    The brand’s tone of voice, characterised by positivity and fun, reflects itson’s belief that sustainability and excitement can go hand in hand. This way, it seeks to inspire not only consumers, but all industry stakeholders. “We feel that the battery market hasn’t changed much in the past decades. We hope that our choices inspire the industry to innovate and rethink their ecological footprint.” With a clear vision of encouraging positive change, itson is determined to reshape the landscape of the mobile energy industry.

  • Virgin Flies Atlantic On Sustainable Aviation Fuel

    Virgin Flies Atlantic On Sustainable Aviation Fuel

    What’s all the fuss about a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 787 flying from London Heathrow to New York JFK, after all this is something that happens every day! However, today Flight100 is very different from all of the other flights for one reason it uses Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) instead of the usual fossil-derived aviation fuel.

    The Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is made from 88% HEFA (Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids) made from waste fats and 12% SAK (Synthetic Aromatic Kerosene) is made from plant sugars. The object of the flight is to prove that firstly it is practical and secondly a viable replacement for the current aviation fuel as the industry aims for Net Zero 2050.

    60 Years of Avengers with Citizen Watches

    It doesnt seem to be right, but the Avengers have been around for sixty years now and to celebrate this Marvel and the popular watch brand Citizen have come up with a lovely collection of designs that feature some of the popular characters from Marvel and in particular the Avengers including Loki which is quite relevant considering the launch of the second series of Loki on Disney Plus.

    There are all of the Marvel characters that would think of in this collection and prices range from around £250 upwards, so this is not something that you are going to buy for the sake of it as this is a serious collection for serious Marvel fans who just like Loki like to have time on the hands, or as in this case, wrist.
