Child cured of HIV?

The "child cured of HIV" sounds catchy, but it's not significant. This therapy shouldn't work for most of infected population and cannot stop a reinfection.

Gene therapy may offer 'functional' cure for HIV is much more important story.

What does "Rainbow Power" mean?

It's the theme of the line of merchandise for this year. Last year was 'Crystal Empire', which tied in with season 3. Rainbow Power is suspected to somehow tie in with Season 4, but mostly ties in with the next Equestria Girls movie, Rainbow Rocks.

This pretty much means that the toy ponies will be decked out in rainbow-y tattoos (much like Stinky Pete à la Barbie at the end of Toy Story 2) for the rest of 2014.

Crimean industry

Crimea doesn't have industry, like any at all.

It's basically touristy-agricultural area.

No female bronies?

One thing to consider is how bad American female-oriented cartoons really were. Lauren Faust:

I assigned my ponies and my Strawberry Shortcake dolls distinctive personalities and sent them on epic adventures to save the world. On TV, though, I couldn’t tell one girl character from another and they just had endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying–which miraculously inspired the villain to turn nice.

I guess that "cartoons aren't for girls" was somewhat true.

It was former private residence of Victor Yankukovych.

Protesters flood Yanukovych's residential home. Mezhyhirya is his private estate. The house was donated by the state and equipped by some sort Doneck foundation while he was Prime Minister responsible for industrial reform. Very suspicious.
