Brain Stroke Survivor Will Sing For 26 Hours Non-Stop Without Food Sleep And Water To Spread Hope And Courage For Coronavirus

Brain stroke survivor Glenn Perry with his left side paralyzed will sing relentless for 26 hours with no food, no sleep, and a few sips of water in aid of Coronavirus awareness, with a message of hope, love, courage, peace, unity and solidarity.

Glenn who had a brain stroke few months ago will perform the 26 hour singing marathon at his home in Dubai on 22nd April at 11 am, and end the next day.

For the world's first of a kind singing marathon gig, he intends to sing around 300 to 400 songs which will be streamed live.

"By doing this I want to spread hope and love for the people and rejoice with them for a brighter future. I want everyone in the world to be optimistic about the health crisis, and enjoy time as a community". 

"I did a similar benefit singing marathon for 25 hours, some years ago. My fingers cut and were bleeding from playing the guitar. My vocal cords were fried. It felt like a volcano in my throat. Nevertheless I completed the 25 hours but I had decided never to do it again as it was torment.

But now since we have a pandemic, I am doing this to raise hope and courage and bring issues to light for the disease”.

Raising awareness is significant as it educates individuals and can save lives.
Glenn says "Stay at home, wash your hands regularly with soap and water, practice social distancing, cease all social affairs and build your immune system. Lockdown isn't easy. However it is the best remedy to contain Coronavirus".

As of late, Glenn additionally composed and released a song to raise awareness for Coronavirus titled 'Live like a Man'. Click link to view the video.

A true humanitarian, Glenn has often placed his life in danger by volunteering in the world's greatest Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricane, Floods, Typhoons, Cyclones and Droughts. With the experience he has gained from volunteering in disasters, he wants to help Coronavirus victims.

I need the world to comprehend that Coronavirus is a genuine malady.

Indeed, even if you have no symptoms, you could be having Coronavirus and spreading it to others.

"Love is the greatest cure for Coronavirus" says Glenn. "We can eradicate Coronavirus with love. If you truly love someone, then please stay at home since you could can get infected by heading outside and when you return home you will contaminate your family as Coronavirus is an infectious malady".

This is an unspeakable attack on humankind. Let us all get together and fight this monster. We can annihilate Coronavirus in the event that we as a whole together work towards a similar objective. Let's combat this Armageddon by remaining at home while the researchers accomplish their work to discover a fix.

The British School enables collaborative remote learning with Microsoft Teams

This February, Monica Bahl got the best birthday gift she could have asked for–her daughter surprised her by flying in from Hong Kong. But as the technology coordinator for primary students at The British School in New Delhi, Bahl was required to quarantine herself as per the school’s guidelines, put in place as a precautionary measure against COVID-19. 

“I couldn’t go to school, but that wasn’t going to stop me from teaching my students. I moved to Teams and conducted classes from home while my students were at school. I was the first teacher in the school to try it,” she says.   

Moving to remote classes was intuitive for both Bahl and her students, as the management at The British School was preparing for a situation like this for a couple of months. The preparation came handy for the 57-year-old school, especially now, when all schools are shut due to COVID-19, leaving millions of students without any access to classroom education. 

“For us, it is pedagogy that drives technology in our school, not the other way around. We weren’t just looking at using Microsoft Teams because of a crisis, we started using it before the crisis hit us. This process has shown the value of interaction and engagement that technology can enable; it has really been made abundantly clear. This is the tipping point. It is going to be the new normal.”

- Vanita Uppal OBE, director of The British School

“We’d been following developments around COVID-19 since January and saw how schools were impacted in China. We wanted to be prepared,” adds Satender Pal, head of IT, The British School. “We did one training workshop on Teams for our teachers with Microsoft representatives and created step-by-step guides for both teachers and students.”   

“Even before the Delhi government announced school closures, we’d already done over a hundred dry runs (for classes on Teams) across the school. On the evening of March 5, the government announced the closure of primary schools and at 8:05 AM on March 6, we delivered our first class over Teams,” Vanita Uppal OBE, director of The British School says with pride. 

Online learning, in the form of MOOCs (massive open online courses), has been around for years, but it lacks real-time feedback and collaboration. Distance learning is often viewed as an inferior experience as compared to traditional in-person classrooms. Would Teams be any different?    

“Human beings in general thrive on social interaction, which was missing in traditional e-learning platforms. You can never really replace a teacher because the teacher provides that human interaction, but I think platforms like Teams enable a teacher to be able to reach out to their classroom remotely and continue to interact,” says Uppal.  

Reaching a tipping point  

So, what happens when this pandemic is behind us, and we get our classrooms back? While this might have started as a contingency plan for schools to manage disruption, online, collaborative learning is likely to be the new standard, even when schools resume their regular operations. 

Case in point—teacher student interactions beyond school hours.  

“I’ve installed Teams on my phone as well, so my students can reach out to me whenever they see me online. This was not possible earlier,” says Prabha Iyer, who has been teaching mathematics at The British School for over 24 years now.  

“For us, it is pedagogy that drives technology in our school, not the other way around. We weren’t just looking at using Microsoft Teams because of a crisis, we started using it before the crisis hit us. This process has shown the value of interaction and engagement that technology can enable; it has really been made abundantly clear. This is the tipping point. It is going to be the new normal,” says Uppal. 

BetaBuilds Technologies announces OffWallet, a digital wallet platform that enables transaction with-out Internet

OffWallet can be the answer to the digital divide in fin-tech and other sectors.

BetaBuilds Technologies, a startup from Rourkela, India, today announced OffWallet, a disruptive digital wallet platform that would enable wallet companies and banks to provide services to their customers to make transaction without internet.

In India and in many other parts of the world, one of the major challenges the government and financial institutions face today in setting up a cashless-economy is due to the lack of internet infrastructure for providing access to the digital banking and wallets to the mass. In India roughly 2/3rd of the population do not have access to internet and most of who live across the rural and the sub-urban areas. Moreover there are almost half billion feature phone are in use, that do not support smart features that are typically required in the digital wallet.

To solve this challenge in an disruptive way, Beta Builds Technologies, a startup from Odisha, India has announced their patent-pending disruptive solution OffWallet that can be the answer to this problem. OffWallet, is a digital wallet innovation that would allow the users to transact money even without the need of the internet.

This is a technology that can also be scaled to work with the existing mobile payment systems, digital wallets, payment gateways to enable them to carry out transactions without the internet scenarios in a secure way, while keeping their existing transaction experience for the users seamless. The user experience of the offline transactions would be seamless, as the user can transact money in the someway as she/he would have done with the wallets with internet.

The OffWallet platform can be instrumental in enabling existing digital wallet and banking and finance institutions in reaching out to their customers in rural, sub-urban areas to provide the essential services in offline mode without internet via the solution. 

OffWallet as a platform for existing bank and digital wallet vendors is expected to be available initially for Android based phones, and subsequently in future it would support the feature-phone operating systems such as KaiOS which has a larger penetration in India via Jio phones.

The solution is also expected to enable critical services without internet to bridge the digital divide beyond the fin-tech sector, namely - agriculture, healthcare, governance, insurance, commerce, hospitality industry, travel aviation, logistics and power and energy sectors. 

The team at BetaBuilds Technologies is recognized under the StartUp-India and has applied under Startup-Odisha initiative, and is in the process of talking to potential investors for funding to scale up their solution.

BetaBuilds is expected to have their working proof-of-concept prototype ready for a public demo by the first weeks of  May  2020.

For more information and investment opportunities, the BetaBuilds Technologies can be contacted at admin@betabuilds.com.

With Hope on the Rope, A Request To God To Be On Our Side

God will help Indians to fight Covid-19 but with their cooperation. It's a collective responsibility wherein individuals and religious organizations can donate trust funds to help curb it.

It is no news that the whole world is on lockdown because of the novel Coronavirus otherwise known as covid-19. As a pandemic that has continued to trouble the world since late last year, India has had its share of this deadly decease. People are dying daily with little or no hope of survival. Therefore, Maadri.Prithviraj calls on all Temple trusts of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Zoroastrians and other religious affiliations to practice what they preach. They should donate in this time as it’s God’s money and only God can save us at this time.

However, this is the right time to stay home and pray. It is time to call on God our maker who has the solution to all our problems. It’s a time to reassure ourselves and other hopeless and helpless people that there is hope. Yes, God will surely sustain and help us come out strong from the Coronavirus pandemic.

Again, it is time for religious trusts who have More than 71,43,000 crore Rupees($1trillion +) to make their money available to the masses that are in dire need of ways of survival. They should share money directly to the citizens who have continued to suffer and die of hunger since the inception of Covid-19 and lockdown in Indian. They should try as much as possible to release even half of the money they have accumulated over time from their members to the Indian government to help fight this pandemic.

It’s time to show love to the people who are almost helpless at the moment. Many are finding it difficult to buy food and medicine. All religious Organizations and other spirited individuals should help the nation of India to fight this by donating relief materials, emergency support, encourage health care workers to combat this turbulent plague which has crippled every sector of human life. Support this humanitarian and selfless service. The time to fight this Covid-19 pandemic is now!
If you support or discuss more on this initiative please reach Maadri.Prithviraj

1 man feeds 1000 daily in Mumbai's suburb of Borivali

16 April 2020:- Ever since the Corona lock-down began in India, there has been mayhem due to a lack of proper information, guidelines and rules regarding what is permitted and what is not, specially travelling and going out of your own home. We have all seen the images of thousands of labourers trying to leave the metros specially Delhi and Mumbai, desperate to reach their homes in far away villages of the country. Though Governments have come out with day to day information, the very fact that it's too much causes confusion and panic. 

Even before the lock-down, Mauris Noronha from I.C Colony, Borivali, in Mumbai, informed the 120+ families in his housing society, that he would be delivering all required food grains, fruits and vegetables within the society's compound. He advised them to strictly stay at home and not venture out, as most people were already aware of the tragedy due to the Coronoa Virus and its rapid spread in China before. 

During these trying times, most middle and upper class families have access to essentials like groceries and dairy. Both physical access to the shops or deliveries, and more importantly financial access. Though every income class has been hit, the savings at one's home, enable the average Indian in metro cities to go through the 30-60 days period, albeit with difficulties. However, for those working as migrant labourers residing temporarily in the hutments and slums with their relatives and yearning to go home, the sudden lock-down has caused a double whammy.

Mauris Noronha and his team go door to door in these chawls and slums of Borivali and Dahisar and give the poor free daily and weekly rations of food grains that they cannot afford themselves. Till the 9th of April he had provided food to over 15,000 poor people and visited over 2000 homes in the slums and backward areas. 

Zero income, zero savings, and now they are a burden with the families they are staying at. These are the major category of people who wanted to cross borders, catch trains and rush home, but were stopped and stranded at many places. There is little help for such migrant labourers and even for the poor Marathi manoos in Mumbai. Whose incomes are suddenly a question mark and whose job security is at high risk? 

But thanks to the highly praised social work being done by this charitable person, at least the poor dwelling in and around Borivali West, are not going hungry.

The activities conducted by Mauris are, food grain and vegetable supplies to the poor, medicines for infants and elderly citizens, sanitizers and masks to ambulance staff as well as police stations and a regular ration distribution to the house maids and building watchmen of the housing societies in the vicinity. In total the food quantity just this one man has resourced and supplied is over 15,000 kg.
He has received hundreds of compliments from the citizens, both online and on ground, from the police and essential workers too. When we ask him, how he manages to procure & provide to so many people, he tells us "God is the provider, we are just his instruments". But on further prodding, when asked, what really keeps him going, his answer is - The smiles and joyful tears he sees each day when meeting the poor who are lost in these desperate times.

The facebook pages and whatsapp groups of Borivali are filling in with heaps of pictures of Mauris Noronha's charity work. The local press in Mumbai have covered him, and many such charitable organizations and NGO's are working together across the city. Here is a link to his youtube video showing charity work in Borivali I C Colony, and some images of Mauris Noronha’s free food distribution.

We spoke to some residents in the area and asked them how they feel about Mauris's work. A concerned citizen Mr. Gerard said, we are extremely happy and proud to see Mauris and his team work tirelessly each morning till sunset. We are still worried for them as individuals doing public service, cause any person in the team can easily contract the Covid19 virus, however, the humanitarian crisis overrides all things. It's good to see the high safety precautions that the team take with social distancing, wearing new masks and gloves each time and disinfecting as much as they can. Mr.Gerard goes on to say that things were worse in Goa where even the common man finds it difficult to get food and he prays that Mauris's good work will be a shining example to the some other brave-hearts all over the nation and even the world.

We couldn't agree more, and would like to conclude by saying this.  Even if you cannot feed 1000 a day with the monetary resources that Mauris may have in Mumbai, you can do your bit by checking on and taking care of just 1 poor family for a month. If each one of you readers did that, then you will have taken immediate action that will quench the hunger and thirst of a poor family before the PM's fund could probably reach them. These are tough times for our nation and let's be inspired by the few exemplary netizens like Mauris and do our bit.
