There are early signs that media will be one of many industries to take a huge blow from the COVID-19 pandemic, with sharp declines in ad revenue and significant layoffs. Podcasting is unlikely to be an exception; Podtrac recently reported that downloads have fallen 10% since the beginning of March, while unique listeners fell by 20%.

A different picture emerged when I spoke to Ross Adams,  CEO of podcast advertising company Acast, which works with both bedroom podcasters and large publishers like the BBC and PBS NewsHour.

Adams said listenership is not down — it’s just that audiences have changed when they are listening and what they’re listening to, with Acast  seeing its largest weekends ever in recent weeks. And plenty of people want to start new podcasts; signups for the Acast Open platform increased 49% month-over-month in March.

Dr. Alexander von Paleske ---- 18.8. 2024 ---- In der vergangenen Woche hat die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) wegen der Affenpockenepidemie (Mpox) eine Gesundheitliche Notlage von internationaler Reichweite (PHEIC) ausgerufen.Es ist nicht das erste Mal im Zusammenhang mit Affenpocken.. . Bei dieser viralen Infektionskrankheit handelte es sich um eine – bisher - weniger gefährliche Verwandte der schwarzen Pocken, die dank Massenimpfungen vor 45 Jahren ausgerottet wurden.

Yes, I had planned on going to Simple Forum. I'm still very impressed by it. But, I wanted to customize it to my site and change not only the appearance (which can easily be done through CSS), but also the content of what is included and where.

Unfortunately, although the PHP code is all available, it is very tightly written and is not easy to change. I'd have to be very much an expert at PHP to do it properly. And such custom modifications would make it very difficult to upgrade to future versions. I wouldn't want to get stuck at the current version.

So we hereby redeclare the winner to be bbPress. Works just like WordPress. It can also be easily extended by plugins, but more importantly almost all of it is easily customizable. I should be able to add some really useful features, such as showing you the topics you started and all the topics you participated in.

I commented last entry that bbPress was "primitive". Well, yes it is. But it is just starting to take off, and people are really getting excited about it and starting to turn it around. And as far as handling large forums goes, just check out the Wordpress Support Forum which has well over 600,000 posts already. It uses bbPress.

The one intangible I really like about it is that I can have it in its own directory called "forum", rather than under the blog directory as "blog/forum" or as a strange url such as "blog/?page_id=6" as Simple Forum requires since it is a plugin under WordPress. People on Unix boxes can use pretty permalinks and can change that, but on my Windows host, I can't.

I decided to completely reinstall WordPress and bbPress and start fresh. After all those databases I tried, I really gunged everything up and needed to clean it out and be sure it's all working. That only took a day and now I'm merrily customizing and integrating it into my new site design. Still not done, but its getting there.

About five years ago online data backup services began to emerge as an alternative method of backing up your data. The best advantage of online data backups is that they, by definition, are remote, so if a fire burns down your home you'll still have a backup to roll your data back.

It’s been nearly a year since I got my hands on RS Taichi’s waterproof backpack, which is available in five colours and a unique Resident Evil edition. I’ve gone for the plain black shade due to its stealthy look and was quite eager to see just how usable this bag would be during monsoon. The WP backpack’s construction mainly comprises polyester and thermoplastic polyurethane. The bag consists of a primary 25-litre waterproof compartment, a smaller compartment located near the primary compartment’s opening and an external quick-access pocket that isn’t waterproof.

The bag uses a roll-up top system to seal the main compartment and can be adjusted based on how full it gets. It’s easy to use and even includes a Velcro strap to keep it tightly sealed. Its 25-litre storage is a boon for when I’m travelling, and over time, I’ve fit huge items in this compartment, including Rishaad’s fully packed Kriega R25 backpack!

The secondary compartment is only water-resistant, even though it uses the same opening as the main compartment. It can be used for smaller items, such as a pair of gloves, balaclavas and cleaning cloths. The third external pocket is mainly designed for items you’d like to keep handy that aren’t fazed by the rain, like a set of keys.

This bag gets a chest harness and a waist belt; both of these can be further adjusted to your size and do a good job of preventing the straps from slipping off the shoulders and distributing luggage weight evenly, especially when on the bike.

The overall fit, finish and feel of this bag are premium, and it feels
built to last. However, after all this time, I did lose the rubberised end on the zipper pull tab located on the external pocket. Honestly, this is quite a minor issue and can be easily replaced. I’ve had absolutely no complaints with this bag otherwise. It’s been quite handy and dependable through my daily commute during peak Mumbai monsoon.

Given that this bag is waterproof, you are prone to wearing it outside your protective rain gear, which can make it susceptible to dirt and grime being flung on it by the rear wheel. In such cases, a quick wipe-down with a wet cloth helps, and fortunately, the bag doesn’t stain permanently. This bag is currently available on special order at 6kiom.com and will cost approximately Rs 15,000.

I managed to buy it for far less overseas, and you may also have to wait anywhere from one to four months for it to be delivered. Just like most imported products, the RS Taichi WP backpack comes at a price, but it gives you good quality and performance in return.

There are various ways to say you’ve arrived in life, and the Maybach badge is one way of doing it in style. When it was put onto the GLS, though, not only was it a power statement, it added a cool quotient, too. It doesn’t just say you’ve arrived; it shouts it. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift design

The 2024 version continues the pimped-out look with loads of bling all over, but with more Maybach logos and badges all over the car. We counted 61, with surely a few more tucked away where we did not notice. So, if you’re looking for understated, maybe look elsewhere. The pomp and attitude extend to the now-famous Free Drive Mode (or Bounce Mode, as it’s lovingly called on Instagram), which is meant to bounce the SUV on its air springs to unstick you from soft sand, but in reality, it syncs up nicely with your favourite rap song.

It’s easy to get carried away talking about this car’s many fun elements, but let’s get to the changes for the 2024 version. The flashy chrome grille that stares at you like a flashing grin has been tweaked slightly with thicker outlines. The bumper is redone, and where the air intakes were, you get a multitude of logos made of plastic, which seem amiss and don’t look Maybach-level. 

While it comes in five regular colours, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you can get dual-tone paint options and even up the wheels from 22 to 23 inches. In fact, since this is a CBU import, you can pretty much have it tailor-made. At the rear is a new tail-lamp signature, and the Maybach chrome tailpipe surrounds are back. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift interior and features

Inside, there aren’t many changes, but here, too, there’s plenty of customisation potential. The open-pore wood in this car looks lavish, coupled with the Nappa leather with contrast double stitch. The steering wheel is new, the MBUX software is now the latest version and gets a fingerprint sensor, and the new graphics are crisp and clean. The graphics quality can be truly experienced when you pull up the Energiser Package menu, which combines sounds, visuals, ambient light and massages to transport you to your happy place, be that a forest, a club, or, in our case, some summer rain on a sweltering day like the one when we tested the GLS.

The Maybach GLS now also gets Level 2 ADAS, and the features list remains extensive, with 11.6-inch rear screens, a 590W Burmester sound system, and heating, ventilation and massage functions for all four seats. There’s a tablet controller for rear passengers, blinds and wireless charging. Though there are a lot of options, Mercedes has kept the standard specification for India high.

One option you simply must tick is the First Class rear seating package with the fixed central console, 43.5 degrees of recline, and leg rests. You can then opt for a refrigerator, but be warned that it eats up a lot of boot space, and honestly, it might be easier just to put a cooler in the boot. 

Climbing into the Maybach GLS is a haul up as the SUV rides quite high, but like before, there’s a cool retractable side step that folds out as you open the door, like a valet preparing your entry. Once in the rear seats, you’re transported into a world of first-class travel. Reclined, with my legs up, all cool and comfy, the Mumbai traffic seemed to be far away as I was ferried along serenely in the well-insulated cabin. 

A lot of tech has gone into ensuring passengers feel that level of luxury, not only in the silence of the cabin but also in the ride. In Maybach mode, the responses are softened: suspension, acceleration and gear changes. In fact, it’s so smooth that cutting through a construction zone makes me wonder whether the work has been completed. It’s thanks to the optional e-Active Body Control that reads the road ahead and pre-adjusts the suspension, so you feel like you’re floating. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift performance

But a petrolhead like me couldn’t stay pinned to a rear seat for long, and I switched over to the driver’s seat. First up, I toggled the drive mode to Sport, and as I accelerated away, I was amazed by how smoothly and quickly this 2.8-tonne luxury liner gained momentum. The 4.0-litre V8 was smooth and strong, delivering power from the get-go. The 9-speed auto shifted smoothly and seamlessly, keeping up the reputation of refined luxury. However, when you plunge your foot to the floor, it takes a breath before dropping down the gears. You can circumvent that pause with the paddles if you’re in a spirited mood. 

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift ride and handling

New tail-lamp pattern for 2024, but bling remains the name of the game.

The steering is light, letting you tuck into traffic gaps with ease you can’t imagine, and while it’s not quick, it does give you enough feedback around corners, too. There’s some roll around corners, but e-Active Body Control comes to the rescue again. Its Curve Mode will lean the car into corners to counter the roll, much like a bike. But the Maybach GLS is most comfortable cruising silently on a highway, ferrying its passengers on a cloud of comfort. It also has off-road modes and assistance, but I doubt owners in India will venture anywhere off the road in this car.

Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 facelift price and verdict

The new Maybach GLS 600 starts at Rs 3.35 crore, Rs 39 lakh higher than before. While the basic specification is good, you can spend as much as Rs 1.5 crore more on options, only some of which are fitted to this car. It gives you loads of attitude, a cool quotient, ultimate comfort, and luxury. And, oh yeah, it can dance, too.
