NEXTBASE LAUNCHES SERIES 2 RANGE, INTRODUCING A NEW GENERATION OF DASH CAM TECHNOLOGY
TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE
• Nextbase, the world’s leading Dash Cam manufacturer, has unveiled a new range of products, whose technologies will redefine the sector.
• Nextbase’s ‘Series 2’ range is comprised of five new products – each with improved video quality – and an entirely new modular rear-view camera system.
• A potentially lifesaving ‘Emergency SOS’ feature will alert the emergency services in the event of a serious incident.
• Range introduces Bluetooth technology to the Dash Cam sector for the first time, streamlining connectivity to your smartphone with the new MyNextbase Connect App.
• ‘Series 2’ includes Europe’s first Dash Cams with Alexa built-in, so you can control your Dash Cam, ask Alexa to play music, get directions and more while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
Pioneering Dash Cam manufacturer Nextbase has brought further innovation to the sector with a complete overhaul of its product offering. In the biggest Dash Cam launch ever seen, Nextbase has introduced five new models to motorists across its international markets.
Nextbase, the world’s leading Dash Cam manufacturer, has used its knowledge of the sector to revolutionise its range, which had already received widespread critical acclaim and won numerous awards, cementing the manufacturer’s position at the top of the sector, one of the fastest growing areas of consumer technology.
The ‘Series 2’ Dash Cams continue to focus on video quality. Unparalleled access to the development teams at Ambarella, the leading semi-conductor manufacturer, has allowed Nextbase to create new firmware that ensures image quality is better than ever before, irrespective of the time of day or weather conditions.
‘Series 2’ is comprised of five Dash Cams and three modular, plug-in cameras that can record the rear or vehicle cabin. Ease of use remains a mainstay across the new 122, 222, 322GW, 422GW and 522GW, but each boasts an array of innovative new features. Nextbase has also introduced MyNextbase, a new software package that includes an App (MyNextbase Connect), desktop video player (MyNextbase Player) editing suite and free cloud storage at mynextbase.com to securely store user videos.
Every product is 35% smaller than its predecessor, making the cameras as unobtrusive as possible, and each features Nextbase’s new Click&Go PROTM mounting system with neodymium magnets, ensuring hassle free use. A sophisticated Intelligent Parking Mode is also now included in every model, helping owners to keep their cars safe even when stationary.
A significant first for the sector, Nextbase has introduced Bluetooth into its cameras, from the mid-range 322GW upwards. The Autosync feature uses Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi technology to automatically send video files to the owner’s smartphone. Access to the full high-quality file via Wi-Fi allows the owner to zoom in on number plate detail, while files can be edited and shared using the MyNextbase Connect App. A feat of engineering by Nextbase’s engineering team, this is the first time that this connectivity has been made available to Dash Cam users, making data transfer and sharing to third parties seamless. The 322GW and above also feature an IPS touch screen for clearer image viewing and ease of use.
At the top end of the range, Nextbase has broken new ground delivering Europe’s first Dash Cam with Alexa built-in. Based on the Alexa Mobile Accessory Kit, the 422GW and 522GW allow motorists to talk directly to their Dash Cam. The new Nextbase skills will provide additional features and capabilities on the device. For example, drivers will be able to use voice to control elements of the Dash Cam, with commands such as “protect a recording” if they witness something of interest on the road. Alexa can get directions, play music, place hands-free calls, control smart home devices, and more – all you have to do is ask.
What’s more, these high-end models come with potentially lifesaving technology that can alert the emergency services to a vehicle’s exact location if a serious collision is detected and the driver is unresponsive. Once an incident is detected, the system will follow a series of failsafe protocols, to ensure there are no false callouts, before ringing the owner’s phone. If the driver remains unresponsive, the emergency services will be alerted and the vehicle’s GPS position uploaded. Nextbase’s Emergency SOS system can be pre-loaded with medical history, such as blood type, and next of kin.
Richard Browning, Director of Nextbase, commented, “With almost 3 million Dash Cams now on UK roads, as and the market’s growth shows no signs of slowing, Nextbase’s new range comes at a crucial time. With 80% market share, we have cemented our position at the forefront of the industry but, as a brand that is constantly looking to innovate, we have been working hard to offer the customer a better, slicker and more inclusive product. Series 2 is the result, with unbeatable image quality and a range of features that positions Dash Cams as a must-have in-car safety product.
“The principle motivation for owning a Dash Cam is the peace of mind that comes with knowing your trip is being recorded, and the ability to prove liability in the event of an incident. Nextbase remains true to this concept with Series 2 but our team of engineers has also worked tirelessly to squeeze a myriad of useful technology into the products, to deliver an easier driving experience and ensure that the new models remain relevant for the foreseeable future. Despite all this extra hard work, we are proud to unveil these products without having to change their price points.”
Nextbase has additionally renewed its partnership with SureThing! to offer an increased saving on car insurance premiums. SureThing! will be offering 25% off the cost of policies to anyone that buys a Nextbase Series 2 Dash Cam.
Sure Thing! CEO, Brendan Devine, said, “We have continually been impressed by Nextbase’s efforts to push the boundaries of what is possible in the Dash Cam sector. Series 2 is the personification of that hard work, coupled with unrivalled expertise and experience in the sector. It was an easy decision to renew our partnership with the new range in mind. The cameras are the perfect tool for relieving the worry of the aftermath of an incident, saving both driver and insurer time and hassle when dealing with these inconvenient situations. With the improved features and video quality, Nextbase Series 2 Dash Cams can give all drivers the much-needed peace of mind they deserve.”
Nextbase’s Series 2 Dash Cam range is available nationwide from 13th May and will be priced as follows:
• 122 – RRP £49
• 222 – RRP £69
• 322GW – RRP £99

Whilst the unique marbled shapes and delectable roasted hazelnut praline flavour of Guylian chocolates are recognised internationally, what you may not realise is that the Guylian brand began with a love story. Guylian was created in 1967 when lovers Guy and Liliane combined their delicious praline recipe and delicate shapes to create the seashells that we now know and love.
Today, Guylian chocolates are still made with the same traditional craftsmanship and passion to provide an authentic, quality Belgian Chocolate taste experience, making them the perfect gifts for loved ones this Christmas. The delectable products on offer include:

As well as quality, sustainability is a priority for Guylian, which is why the brand has removed palm oil from all chocolate recipes, replacing it with shea butter and sunflower oil, resulting in a smoother texture and even better tasting chocolates, which also contain less saturated fat and sugar.
Guylian’s commitment to conservation is also shown through its partnership and sponsorship of Project Seahorse, an organization dedicated to preserving seahorses and other marine life throughout the world. Their long-standing partnership began in 1999 and continues as strong as ever.
Guylian is also a proud supporter of Project Cocoa, which is committed to improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities through the promotion of sustainable, entrepreneurial farming, improved productivity, community development, and the protection of nature. It is Guylian’s ambition to use 100% sustainable cocoa by 2025.

Add Zest to Holiday Gift Gifting with
Old Arthur’s Award-Winning Barbecue Sauce Gift Pack
What do you give to the grill master, meat lover, or soul food aficionado who has everything? Something new, unique and delicious: the Old Arthur’s barbecue sauce and dry rub gift pack. This heirloom collection of flavorful seasonings—passed down through five generations—boasts a history as rich as their flavor!
The gift pack includes their entire Legacy line of two 20 oz. bottles of barbecue sauce—one Mild, one Spicy—plus a selection of six unique dry rubs, variously designed to complement beef, pork, poultry and veggies.
Recipients will enjoy their intriguing names (like “Gold Dust” and “Righteous Poultry”) and unconventional ingredients (like bourbon and Kona coffee)—plus the fact that the sauces are among the lowest in sugar content.
The savory recipes are the creation of Arthur Watts, an emancipated slave whose photo adorns the label. Born in 1837, his job from childhood was cooking his master’s meals over an open pit. Upon gaining his freedom in 1863, he took his recipes—his only possessions of value—and parlayed them into a business, becoming a highly-regarded pit master catering social functions throughout central Illinois.
Although Arthur never learned to read or write, his family lovingly handed the recipes down, only recently making them commercially available. The original barbecue sauce won first prize in Peapod’s 2016 “Next Best” Gourmet Food Product contest.
The gift pack is sold for $45 on OldArthurs.com, where other gift sets and individual barbecue sauces and dry rubs are also available.
“We’ve stayed true to Old Arthur’s original recipes,” says Eudell Watts IV, Old Arthur’s great-great-grandson. “And if you’re wondering why we call him Old Arthur, it’s because he lived until 108!”

MAKE LIFE A LITTLE BIT SWEETER WITH JAM SHED
– THE SERIOUSLY JAMMY WINE THAT’S GETTING EVERYONE TALKING –
Jammy on the nose, wine on the tongue. Introducing Jam Shed – a deliciously uncomplicated Shiraz, unlike any other. You can’t spread it on toast, but it’s incredibly jammy, rich and smooth. Perfect for any occasion so enjoy it as you want: cold over ice, warm as mulled wine or as is, Jam shed makes life that bit sweeter.
No matter what the weather throws at us, Jam Shed can be enjoyed come rain or shine. An alternative to crisp whites or rosés, Jam Shed is perfect over ice. The juicy sweetness of the wine means that it holds its body and the berry flavours are enhanced when chilled. Refreshing and on-trend, this smooth serve is guaranteed to get the BBQ or get-together off to a great start. Sit back, take it easy and enjoy a chilled glass or two in the sun. Just don’t forget the ice cubes!
Jam Shed also packs a punch when heated and accentuates the hints of vanilla and cinnamon, making it the perfect base for mulled wine. This aromatic winter warmer is easy and quick to make: simply mix the wine with cinnamon, ginger, cloves and orange for your own delicious twist on a popular classic. Get toasty on chilly evenings or catch up with mates over a glass or two.
For a fuss-free evening, enjoy Jam Shed in a glass straight out of the bottle to taste the jammy red wine packed with forest fruit flavours and balanced with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. This smooth jammy wine tastes great on its own or with food – spicy and Italian pairs the best.
What’s more, the wine doesn’t just taste great, it has a pretty cool story too. It’s named after the original Leasingham winery, located in the historic town of Clare, South Eastern Australia. The locals fondly referred to the factory as ‘The Jam Shed’, as it had previously been a jam factory. The wine is inspired by this fond story of Australian heritage.
So, if you’re looking for a serious wine with a quirky story that can be enjoyed whatever the season, you’ve found your ultimate match. Light-hearted, fun and simple, Jam Shed tastes like it says on the bottle (but without the ‘Shed’ bit): rich, smooth and jammy. Look out for the pastel blue and burgundy label and let us do the hard work for you.
Jam Shed Shiraz is available to purchase at Tesco, Morrison’s and ASDA RRP: £8 a bottle (750ml/75cl – 13.5% ABV).

JURA ANCHOR ENSURES YOU’LL NEVER LOSE YOUR AIRPODS AGAIN
Creative masterminds behind millions-selling olloclip iPhone lens successfully launch perfect carry solution for Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro.
LONDON, NOVEMBER 2019: Jura today announced the launch of the Jura Anchor carry solution for Apple AirPods and AirPods Pro. One of the first accessories in the world to support the AirPods Pro, Jura Anchor utilises the Lightning Port and a proprietary connector and can support more than 15x the weight of the standard AirPods charging case. Combined with a choice of stylish Zinc Alloy or tough Titanium carabiner that attaches to just about anything, Jura Anchor ensures you will never misplace your Wireless Charging Case again.
“We love our AirPods and use them daily to listen to music and podcasts, but the problem was we were always losing our charging case,” said Patrick O’Neill, Jura’s co-founder. “We looked at all the existing carry solutions on the market, but they were all woefully inadequate. So, we launched a Kickstarter and set out to design our own.”
Jura’s founders, Patrick O’Neill and James Wharton, are no strangers to Kickstarter, having previously launched the olloclip iPhone camera lens on Kickstarter in 2011, which went on to sell millions worldwide. The Jura Anchor project was a similar success and was 229% funded on October 24, 2019, smashing its goal of $30,000 (£24,416).
A perfect complement to Apple’s classic design
Jura Anchor solves the inadequacies of existing carry solutions, while perfectly complimenting the design of the Wireless Charging Case. Jura even went the extra mile to design the carabiner, having searched the market and not found anything that provided the required combination of style, durability and ease-of-use.
Jura Anchor key features:
Innovative: Proprietary connector utilizing the Lightning Port and featuring high strength composite wings to help prevent side load damage.
Secure: Anchor can support more than 15x the weight of the standard AirPods and Charging Case.
Purposeful: Custom-designed titanium or zinc alloy carabiners. Titanium’s incredible strength and lightness makes it the ideal material; it has been used on space missions, race cars and medical devices, and now it can secure your AirPods too.
Elegant: Designed to perfectly compliment the design of the Wireless Charging Case, with the ability to personalize through a choice of titanium or three anodized zinc alloy carabiners (silver, gray, rose gold or black).
The perfect gift for Christmas
Jura Anchor will be available worldwide on November 10, 2019, from https://gojura.com

Oil Market Manipulation Exposed by Top Trader in Latest Book >> www.advfnbooks.com
– timely guide demystifies forces at work and reveals how to make terrific returns –
ADVFN Books is publishing An Insider’s Guide To Trading The Global Oil Market by Simon Watkins on November 25th, 2019.
In the book, the author – who was one of the top traders in the world for seven years – explains in detail how key players control this globally authoritative market via rhetoric, altering supply dynamics and gross price manipulation. The inner workings are laid bare and Watkins navigates readers through the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors governing the market, highlighting how to spot and capitalise on these manipulations and lock in substantial profits whilst carefully managing risk.
The premise of An Insider’s Guide To Trading The Global Oil Market is that once all the macro elements involved are understood and the agendas of principal agents recognised it is relatively simple to ascertain the future direction of the oil market. The book covers the history of the market including recent developments in the Middle East, China, Russia and the US so traders are equipped to identify major macro-trends in the oil market now and in the future. Using this knowledge, they can position themselves for long-term and extremely sizeable moves in this market and other related markets.
The title, which is fully illustrated with charts, is underpinned by analysis of the general trading methodology, strategies, and cross-market opportunity awareness that are the cornerstones of all the leading proprietary trading operations around the world.
“If the intricacies are understood, the oil market is a trader’s nirvana; it offers far and away the most opportunities out of any other market for high returns. This book unravels the market manipulations and tells you everything you need to know to profit significantly,” said Simon Watkins. “The oil market’s global importance cannot be underestimated, it is the lynchpin for trading other commodities, equities, bonds and forex.”
An Insider’s Guide To Trading The Global Oil Market is Simon’s sixth title for ADVFN Books. It is available as an ebook from Amazon, Apple and Kobo and in paperback from Amazon. It can be pre-ordered for Kindle now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Z837MJ2

Revealed! The gifts Brits are pretending to like (and the gift-giving occasions that are causing us the most stress)
• 1 in 4 Brits in a relationship can’t remember their partners’ birthday
• 55% find Christmas the most stressful occasion to buy for
• Over 29% of people admit to pretending to like clothing they have received as a gift
• 13% of women are guilty of regifting an item
• 74% of people say that giving a gift makes them happy
While for many people, giving gifts fills us with excitement and joy, for others, it can be a far more stressful experience. Interflora has surveyed 2,000 people from across the UK, to find out more about our attitudes towards gift-giving.
74% of people surveyed said that giving a gift makes them happy. The study also found we’re starting to think about what to buy an average of 30 days before the occasion.
It was concluded that Baby showers came out as the least stressful occasion to buy for, with only 23% of Brits saying they’ve felt stressed buying a baby shower gift. Meanwhile, Christmas was named as the occasion causing the most stress, with 55% of Brits saying festive shopping made them stressed out!
According to the research, people in the UK are spending more on their significant others than anyone else. However, 1 in 4 people in the study admitted to not knowing their partners’ birthday by memory! Newcastle has the most generous partners, spending an average of £184 per gift, whereas Brighton’s partners only part with £91.
When it comes to unwanted gifts, 29% of Brits admit to pretending to like an item of clothing, while houseware came out as the present most likely to be regifted. 13% of women are guilty of regifting an item, but only 8% of men would.
Finally, the study pits men against women, looking at who’s planning the furthest in advance and who are leaving it till last minute. Men came out as preparing 26 days in advance while women are preparing 34 days in advance. Good luck if you know someone from Bristol, however, as they put the least amount of time in, only start preparing 22 days in advance.

Fans of classic detective fiction will be thrilled with a Christmas gift made from the Sherlock Holmes tartan.
Sherlock’s elementary roots inspire new tartan
Pictured Great,Great,Great Step Grandson Harry Chamberlain and Lyra the Irish Wolfhound
Sherlock Holmes, the famous fictional detective, has become the first literary character to have his own tartan approved by the Scottish Register of Tartans.
Holmes was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who was born in Edinburgh and gained his medical degree from Edinburgh University. And it is a Conan Doyle descendant who has highlighted these Scottish links through creation of a uniquely Scottish textile for his most famous character.
Rather than a study in scarlet, the Sherlock Holmes tartan is predominately green and blue – reflecting Conan Doyle’s Irish and Scottish heritage – highlighted by a lighter blue line to represent the Reichenbach Falls and a yellow line to represent the deductive clarity of Sherlock.
It was designed by Tania Henzell, a great-great step granddaughter of the author, who worked with weavers the House of Edgar to finalise the design and have it registered.
She said: “Tartan has great design appeal, and it was a fascinating experience coming up with a pattern that reflects who Conan Doyle was as well as tying in elements that are entirely Sherlock.
“I was very fond of my step great grandmother Jean, who was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s youngest daughter, so creating the tartan has been quite an emotional and nostalgic process, but also very rewarding.
“My background is also in fashion design so I’m thrilled to be able to use my knowledge to create this unique family tartan.”
Sherlock Holmes has a distinctive style, which owes much to early cinema portrayals. Actor Basil Rathbone is often considered the quintessential Holmes, playing the detective in a string of classic movies, starting with the Hound of the Baskervilles in 1939 and continuing throughout the 1940s.
The deerstalker cap and Inverness cape became so iconic of Holmes that even television’s most recent interpretation of the character, played by Benedict Cumberbatch makes ironic reference to the headwear.
The new tartan is not only being used for deerstalkers and cape but ties, cushions, cummerbunds, handbags, waistcoats and trews are all being produced in the new wool fabric. It is perfect for sleuthing on the moors, uncovering grisly deeds in stately homes or whiling away an evening in a Baker Street apartment.
Sherlock tartan products are coming soon and will be available from the website: www.sherlockholmestartan.com. Certain items will be made to measure and new products will be added to the website on an ongoing basis.
Sherlock Holmes is the only literary character to have had a tartan approved by the Scottish Register of Tartans. And although Holmes the detective is associated with his deerstalker hat and Inverness cape (both available), the Sherlock Holmes tartan team has created a range of fashionable accessories that will appeal to men and women.
Rather than a study in scarlet, the Sherlock Holmes tartan is predominately green and blue – reflecting his creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Irish and Scottish heritage – highlighted by a lighter blue line to represent the Reichenbach Falls and a yellow line to represent the deductive clarity of Sherlock.
It was designed by Tania Henzell, a great-great step granddaughter of the author, who worked with weavers at the House of Edgar to finalise the design and have it registered.
Tania has recently introduced a kilt to the full collection, for those Sherlockians who also want to celebrate Scotland. Like all good kilts its multiple pleats will add swing to any celebratory activity and can be accessorised with matching cummerbund or waistcoat.
Other highlights of the 2019 collection include:
The Menswear Collection: the deerstalker, tie and scarf (also available separately). All made from 100% wool and the scarf is brushed lambswool making it both soft and warm to wear. (£160rrp)
Hipflask: Tartan and leather-trimmed, the flask holds 6oz (of the best single malt whisky), measuring 4″ x 4.25″ (10cm x 11cm). (£45rrp)
The Bonnie Bag: This practical bag has alternate tweed and tartan panels with a leather strap running through brass eyelets. The bag has a rectangular bottom with a circumference of 34” (86.5cm) when fully open, and 10” (25cm) in depth. The bag is lined with black quilted lining with a larger inner pocket, a magnetic clasp fitted on the top edge of the bag to keep it securely closed. (£66rrp)
Tania says: “With a background in fashion design I’m thrilled to be able to use my knowledge to create this unique family tartan. We’ve created a growing range of high quality items that not only look good but hold a connection to arguably the greatest literary sleuth. Sherlock Holmes is still reaching new audiences as he continues to be celebrated in new cinema and television productions.”
Sherlock Holmes tartan products are perfect for sleuthing on the moors, uncovering grisly deeds in stately homes or whiling away an evening in a Baker Street apartment. It is easy to deduce that they also make excellent gifts.

Violin Virtuoso Niccolo Paganini’s
Work Celebrated at
Paganini Honors Paganini
VIP Preview Party
Sabrina-Vivian Höpcker, Maria Elena Paganini, Kevin Zhu and Elly Suh ©Patrick McMullan
Maria Elena Paganini, descendant of famed Italian Violinist Niccolo Paganini, hosted a special VIP and media preview party for “Paganini Honors Paganini” at the Ascent Lounge in the Time Warner Center. Musicians and participants of the “Paganini Honors Paganini” Carnegie Hall concert were present and gave guests a taste of what they can expect to hear, while enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
Notable attendees included: Maria Elena Paganini, Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Detlef Vormschlag, Music Director/Violinist Edmond Fokker van Crayestein, Violinist Elly Suh, Violinist Stefan Milenkovich, Violinist Kevin Zhu, Violinist Sabrina-Vivian Höpcker, Florian Leonhard, Patricia Leonard, Violinist Ezinma, Dr. Mingi Choi, Heather Choi, Boh Yeon Han, Robert Hoogkamer, Walter Francia, Silvia Frieser, Camillo Stepanek, Jean Shafiroff, Maria Lagos Paganini and Carlos Lagos Paganini.
Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin opened the presentation, introducing Maria Elena Paganini who in turn introduced the audience to the history of Niccolo Paganini before welcoming Florian Leonhard and Music Director/Violinist Edmond Fokker van Crayestein. Florian and Edmond spoke about the detail and rarity of the instruments that will be played during “Paganini Honors Paganini”, which combined are worth about $70 million. Edmond Fokker van Crayestein then discussed the musical innovations of Niccolo Paganini, as well as the challenges of playing his compositions. Violinists Elly Suh, Kevin Zhu, and Sabrina-Vivian Höpcker each played a small part of the pieces that will be played at “Paganini Honors Paganini” on one of the selected rare violins.
Maria Elena Paganini hosted and presented, “Paganini Honors Paganini”, a tribute to her ancestor Niccolo Paganini, famous virtuoso violinist who received the nickname “the violinist of the devil”. The historic concert event took place at the elegant, intimate, and timeless Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall.
Niccolo Paganini’s compositions of diverse works, including violin concertos, sonatas for violin or guitar and violin, and the 24 caprices were performed by 5 highly accomplished violinists accompanied by the piano. This was for the first time a relative of this great violinist has organized a performance in his honor.
Musicians who performed were: Music Director/Violinist Edmond Fokker van Crayestein, Violinist Elly Suh, Violinist Stefan Milenkovich, Violinist Kevin Zhu, Violinist Sabrina-Vivian Höpcker, and Pianist Jochem Geene. The difficulty of the compositions will present a significant challenge to these artists, although being professionals, must project the emotion and the internal fire that Paganini transmitted. There is no doubt, the selection of musical pieces will be very attractive to the public. Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin will start the evening with a special introduction.
This was the first stage of a tour that anticipates visiting cities on different continents in the year 2020 under the name “Paganini Honors Paganini.”
