A Russian super airplane bringing medical drugs and devices to India hit by the third Corona wave. The BBC reports from Northern Ireland:  

More aid is coming from Germany and other Western countries. The daily infections rate mounted to about 400.000. Oxygen for treatment and human resources are lacking. One of the hotspots is the state of Maharashtra with the megacity of Mumbai (Bombay) in the West. How is the famous charity ADAPT (formerly Spastic Society of India) providing physical and psychological treatment for handicapped children (mostly from its shanty-town Dharavi)? I am in contact with its staff:

"Hope you and the other people of ADAPT are safe. Please let me know how you are protecting the handicapped children in Dharavi. How is vaccination going on in Mumbai?

Best wishes from Ekkehard"

Answer from Varsha, deputy of Dr Mithu Alur, the charity's founder, on 07/05/2021: 

Hi. We are all safe, thank you. Dr. Alur had started tele therapy and online teaching immediately so we are in touch with the children and young adults. Some have returned to their villages of course.... They've started vaccinating you above 18 now... Most of us have taken the first dose of the vaccine. Waiting for enough vaccines to be available for the second shot. Hope you and Helen are well... And have taken both the shots. Regards".

    It’s no secret how President Donald Trump feels about sports teams turning away from Native American mascots. He’s repeatedly called for the return of the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, claiming their recent rebrands were part of a “woke” agenda designed to erase history.

    But one surprising team has really gotten the president’s attention: the Massapequa Chiefs.

    The Long Island school district has refused to change its logo and name under a mandate from New York state banning schools from using team mascots appropriating Indigenous culture. Schools were given two years to rebrand, but Massapequa is the lone holdout, having missed the June 30 deadline to debut a new logo.

    The district lost an initial lawsuit it filed against the state but now has the federal government on its side. In May, Trump’s Department of Education intervened on the district’s behalf, claiming the state’s mascot ban is itself discriminatory.

    Massapequa’s Chiefs logo — an American Indian wearing a yellow feathered headdress — is expected to still be prominently displayed when the fall sports season kicks off soon, putting the quiet Long Island hamlet at the center of a political firestorm.

    The district is now a key “battleground,” said Oliver Roberts, a Massapequa alum and the lawyer representing the school board in its fresh lawsuit against New York claiming that the ban is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

    The Trump administration claims New York’s mascot ban violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal funds from engaging in discriminatory behavior based on race, color or national origin — teeing up a potentially precedent-setting fight.

    The intervention on behalf of Massapequa follows a pattern for a White House that has aggressively applied civil rights protections to police “reverse discrimination” and coerced schools and universities into policy concessions by withholding federal funds.

    “Our goal is to assist nationally,” Roberts said. “It’s us putting forward our time and effort to try and assist with this national movement and push back against the woke bureaucrats trying to cancel our country’s history and tradition.”

    Rok 2000. Data symboliczna, przełom tysiącleci, czas oczekiwania na technologiczne cuda i jednocześnie obaw związanych z
    "pluskwą milenijną".

    In this question, we're exploring the potential impact of the Russian airplane's delivery on international collaboration in response to the pandemic, a thought-provoking and relevant topic for this forum.


    Hope you don’t mind a quick tip about learning resources

    Just while searching for educational platforms I stumbled upon a site https://tools.veryuseful.website/

    They’ve collected:
    - online libraries (like "Українська Література"),
    - free courses via Prometheus,
    - Duolingo for learning Ukrainian,
    - information about schools and universities.

    Useful for both students and adults.

    Also found an awesome Ukrainian learning platform — maybe worth checking!

    Any other cool learning sites to recommend?

    Hope you don’t mind a small digression — it’s about shopping wisely

    Just a few days ago I came across a site called resource for wise buyers.

    They share great tips like:
    - how to read product ingredients,
    - checking expiration dates properly,
    - not overpaying just for brand names.

    Really useful if you shop carefully.

    Do you check ingredients when shopping too?

    Could the strategic cooperation between Russia and India in supplying essential medical resources during this crisis pave the way for a new era of economic and political partnership, potentially reshaping the global response to future pandemics?


    Maybe off the main topic, but could be worth a read

    Just while scrolling I ran into a site called news.veryuseful.website.

    It’s packed with record-breaking facts from athletics to swimming.

    Usain Bolt’s 9.58 seconds?
    Phelps’ 28 Olympic medals?
    Bubka’s 35 world records?
    It’s all there.


    Have you seen this kind of collection before?
