Interview with MOAC’s President Zhou Sha at the 2018 Global Blockchain Hackathon

SINGAPORE / ACCESSWIRE / August 28, 2018 / The 2018 Global Blockchain Hackathon event was held in the Silicon Valley on August 18th and 19th. The activity was in part a blockchain technology competition, but its main purpose was to establish a developer community that connects blockchain enthusiasts. Competitors showcased cutting-edge technologies covering industry trends, real-world applications, open source software, and solutions-based case studies among other topics.

The main organizers of the 2018 Global Blockchain Hackathon event are the International Data Engineering and Science Association (IDEAS), Node Capital, and Eigen Capital. IBM Blockchain and the Purdue Blockchain Lab also provided technical support for the activity. The organizers invited many distinguished guests to attend the event, including over 50 top blockchain technology, development trend, and investment experts. There were also dozens of influential Chinese and US media outlets in attendance.

MOAC’s president Zhou Sha was interviewed by several media sponsors during the event. Mr. Zhou founded the MOAC Foundation in 2017. He has led and supported many high-tech companies over the years, including those focusing on blockchain, VR/AR, robotic engineering, and autopilot technology. The portfolio of companies he has invested in or managed includes Outpost, Tersus, Wellwit Robotics, and more. He has authored several books on blockchain and big data, such as “Blockchain World” and “Blockchain and Bigdata”, and has extensive technical and managerial experience in the computer, communications, and data networking industries.

Interview Summary

1. The current state of blockchain

At present, blockchain only uses distributed ledger technology without tokens in the fields of big data and financial services. IBM’s Hyperledger, an example of this, has encountered many difficulties. This is referred to as a non-token blockchain in the blockchain field. However, tokens are necessary in blockchain technology.

In another example, there are several scam currencies surfacing that are using the Ethereum ERC20 standard. Scam currencies are built on a blockchain to support it. For example, Bitcoin is built on a chain. It is much harder to attack Bitcoin this year than it was last year. But if you used Ethereum to issue tokens, whether you issued contracts last year or this year, your value would be built on those contracts and that value would not increase. Therefore, scam currencies are like hot air balloons when they are listed on exchanges – they can fly high but there is nothing really there to support the value. This is the problem MOAC was to solve. Turning Ethereums one-click currency into MOAC’s one-click chain creation. This can solve the problems of non-token blockchains and scam currencies.

2. Cooperative models

Cooperative models are currently divided into three parts:

Non-token blockchains: Due to the influence of domestic policies on currency restrictions, companies are unable to attract blockchain talent and teams. However, MOAC’s microchains provide technical support for these companies, making it easier for them to enter the blockchain field.

Token-based blockchains: Many scam currency projects cannot be implemented, mainly due to logical knowledge of the application and the vastly difficult technical requirements of a public chain. However, MOAC can provide a stable and safe ecosystem for such projects to be implemented.

Some smaller applications can exchange their own native tokens, in addition to MOAC tokens, through atomic transactions. This can solve liquidity problems, eliminating the exorbitant market value and exchange fees.

3. The cost of blockchain deployments

It is free to join MOAC, but there are still certain costs associated with doing so. MOAC provides a large number of nodes and must pay mining fees to these nodes. A decision must therefore be made balancing business model income and expenses. After the business model is determined, projects can decide how much they are willing to pay and allow the miners participate in the maintenance of the chain. This is not a fixed fee scenario but rather a business model created to help predict costs.

4. Cooperative partnerships

Current large cooperative projects include Netease. Projects which have not been fully announced yet include the National Radio and Television Administration, Zhizhitong, Hai’er, and more.

5. Media blockchain applications

Blockchain applications in media are something that many companies are currently looking at. There are currently two types of blockchain media. The first is traditionally centralized media, which only report on blockchain related issues. However, some other media outlets have already begun to use blockchain technology, such as blockchain WeChat, blockchain YouTube, and more.

The important thing is to understand the pain points of the industry. One is incentivizing participants, content providers, and content consumers. This can be achieved through token incentive mechanisms. There must be qualitative changes before traditional advertising revenues can use token mechanisms to reshape the original relationship structure, and thus improve media influence, reduce costs, and increase revenue.

6. How to judge a blockchain project

Mr. Zhou reads many white papers. Evaluating blockchain projects relies mainly on understanding the team’s technology as well as the overall social mindset. Another aspect is the team’s ability to actually implement the project. This involves looking at the team’s industry experience and whether the industry pain points written in the white paper are correctly identified.

7. The current blockchain development trend

The number on-chain deployments continues to grow despite the bearish market, and the demand for blockchain talent remains high.

CCHR Florida Celebrates 29 Years of Protecting Citizens From Psychiatric Abuse

Starting out as a simple volunteer activity, CCHR has grown from a small group of dedicated human rights activists into a statewide movement that regularly garners newspaper and television coverage on mental health abuses.

Clearwater, United States – August 28, 2018 /PressCable/

The Florida chapter of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) recently celebrated its 29th year as a mental health watchdog dedicated to the protection of children and families from abuses in the mental health industry. Starting out as a simple volunteer activity in 1977, CCHR Florida became a formal chapter in 1989, growing from a small group of human rights activists into a statewide movement that regularly garners newspaper and television coverage on mental health abuses.[1]

In 29 years, CCHR Florida has created a track record of being the only non-profit resource that both educates and actively protects citizens against ongoing psychiatric abuses. As an example, the campaign to protect children from illegal Baker Acting— a statewide crisis that has resulted in 32,763 involuntary examinations initiated on children during 2016-2017— has reached over 184,000 Florida families.[2]

CCHR started the crusade to restore rights and dignity to the field of mental health in 1977 by taking the issue of consent to Tallahassee to promote a bill that would eventually result in a watershed victory for patient rights in Florida: helping to pass legislation that required informed consent before ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) could be administered to mental health patients. Prior to CCHR’s work to protect patients, those labeled as mentally ill would receive ECT treatments without their consent. ECT is the practice of sending 460 volts of electricity to a patient’s brain by use of electrodes— like what cattle receive in slaughterhouses— and has been documented to cause brain damage, long term memory loss, and death.[3] Thousands of survivors of ECT have complained of its traumatic effects on their lives, and in Texas— the only state that actually reports deaths 14 days post-ECT treatment— reported a death rate in recent years that represents an estimated 300 deaths nationally each year from ECT.[4]

In the early formative years, CCHR also instigated a statewide campaign to educate Florida’s citizens on the dangers of the drug Ritalin which has been documented to contribute to suicide, drug addiction and even early death.[5] This free public information campaign offered several alternatives to the use of Ritalin—especially useful since Ritalin began being prescribed 20 years prior to the age of the internet and there were little to no public resources on Ritalin available.[6]

Also notable was CCHR’s investigation and exposure of patient abuse at Anclote Manor Psychiatric Hospital, an inpatient mental health facility mainly for teenage boys that was located in Tarpon Springs—20 miles north of Clearwater. Anclote Manor had earned a national reputation due to judges from all over the U.S. giving troubled teenage boys two choices: face prosecution for their crime resulting in a permanent record for having committed a felony or be committed to Anclote Manor Psychiatric Hospital to receive treatment.

During the investigation CCHR exposed the abusive use of insulin shock, the wrapping of patients in freezing sheets and much more. Using public demonstrations depicting the abuses that were leaked out of Anclote Manor Psychiatric Hospital by patients and staff alike, CCHR was able to garner public attention to the truth of the hospital’s barbaric practices ultimately leading to the closure of Anclote Manor.

Protecting children is just one facet of CCHR’s push for human rights in Florida. In 1981, the widespread practice of using the mental health law to have the elderly declared “incompetent” was exposed by CCHR. At that time, and based upon a single petition from a relative, the court would order two psychiatrists to complete a surprise 5-minute interview on an unsuspecting senior at their home. In approximately 98% of the cases, the elderly person would be found incompetent by the psychiatrists, and would be stripped of any legal rights.

CCHR Florida spearheaded what became a massive investigation into this issue by helping to restore the legal competency of two senior citizens, one from Clearwater (who had been imprisoned in a locked psychiatric ward in a nursing home) and the other from Riverview. The Clearwater Sun decided to look into the abuses and the result was a 6-part series entitled “Guardianship— Protection or Prison,” which was highly critical of the entire mental health system. Once again CCHR didn’t just settled for exposing the abuse but embarked upon a public information campaign to educate seniors on their rights including the legal consequences of being declared incompetent, how to be restored to competency, uses and abuses of guardianship, and alternatives to guardianship.

Unfortunately, similar elder abuses still happen today. According to the Annual Report on the Baker Act, released in March of 2017, there were 194,354 involuntary examinations conducted under the guise of treatment in 2016— more than doubling from 2001— with 1 in 10 initiated on persons 65 years of age or older. That means that 13,800 of Florida’s elderly, including those with dementia, were sent for involuntary psychiatric examinations in 2016.

More recently, and having grown to more than 3,000 members, CCHR has helped to secure the safe release of more than 800 people from unjust Baker Acts since 2015 and is currently engaged in campaigns to stop the illegal involuntary psychiatric examination of children, to expose the deadly connection between violence, suicides and psychiatric drugs and to ban the use of electroshock therapy in Florida.

Anyone wishing to report psychiatric abuse is encouraged to contact CCHR Florida at 727-442-8820 or visit the center located at 109 N. Fort Harrison Avenue in downtown.

About CCHR: Initially established by the Church of Scientology and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz in 1969, CCHR’s mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, first brought psychiatric imprisonment to wide public notice: “Thousands and thousands are seized without process of law, every week, over the ‘free world’ tortured, castrated, killed. All in the name of ‘mental health,’” he wrote in March 1969. For more information visit, www.cchrflorida.org

Curious to Visit Announces Release of the Cutest Llama Family Pillowcase for Girls 3-7 Years

The European travel blog has combined the best of all worlds by releasing an adorable and very practical gift for those who have to travel far to see their family.

Nottingham, United Kingdom – August 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/

A pillowcase with charming pictures can be a perfect gift for a granddaughter’s birthday, Christmas, back-to-school or any other occasion. A pillowcase makes an adorable yet very practical gift – the cute pictures will warm a little girl’s heart every time she rests her head on the pillow, plus a pillowcase can be used as a décor element in a girl’s playroom or bedroom cheering up everyone who sees it. When traveling, a pillowcase does not take up a lot of space in a suitcase, in fact, it can be rolled up and carried in a handbag!

The problem for many grandparents and other family members who travel far to see their loved ones is that they want to bring their grandchildren something special, but many children’s toys are bulky, heavy and hard to travel with.

The curioustovisit.com travel blog, experts on European destinations, recently introduced their first ‘Llama Family’ Pillowcase, a perfect gift for girls 3-7 years, an adorable, very light, compact and practical gift for both children and their parents. The in-house design is uniquely produced by Curious to Visit, and cannot be found in high street shops.

The attention to a traveler’s needs is what sets Curious to Visit pillowcases apart. The product is designed for those who want to bring special gifts to their loved ones without cluttering up their houses, i.e. beauty and practicality combined.

“We’ve always admired beautiful yet practical gifts, gifts that can be easily transported and then used and re-used many times after the first ‘wow moment’.” said Vytene Laucyte, founder of curioustovisit.com “We created ‘Llama Family’ Pillowcase for those who want to bring something really charming to their little daughters, granddaughters, and nieces without taking up too much space in their already busy playrooms.”

When it comes to gifts, this ‘Llama Family’ Pillowcase is a gift whose impression will last. Every time a little girl rests her head on the pillow, she will remember the giver and that warm happy feeling when she unpacked the gift box. Plus it is not important how small her playroom or her parents’ house is, there will always be enough space for a standard size pillowcase.

“Our main goal with ‘Llama Family’ pillowcase was to showcase the limitless potential of small gifts and their power to warm up anyone’s heart. We all need beauty around us, and it does not have to be large and bulky.” said Laucyte. “We wanted to show people how much joy a simple yet adorable everyday item can bring to a little person’s life.”

‘Llama Family’ Pillowcase has just been released on Amazon.com. To celebrate, Curious to Visit is giving away a special 10% off Amazon discount coupon code to try their fun gift pillowcase.

ProCo Announces the Release of Their Stainless-Steel French Press Coffee Maker

Promoting a healthy, regenerative lifestyle, ProCo has released a premium coffee maker that helps in the intake of magnesium, potassium, and niacin from the French press method of steep coffee.

Fredericksburg, United States – August 28, 2018 /MarketersMedia/

ProCo, an ecofriendly company is releasing another product in its line of healthy, regenerative lifestyle products, the French press.

With this French press you get nothing but pure coffee, without the metal taste that you get from stainless steel brew pots.

You also get the health benefits of French press coffee, plus the 100% satisfaction guarantee that is offered with every product sold.

The problem with most French press coffee makers, is that they are easy to break or shatter and the filters are made of subpar materials. They tend to give way all too soon in the life of the coffee maker.

ProCo uses Borosilicate glass for the beaker, thus providing shatter resistance that other French presses do not possess.

To hold this carafe in place, is chrome plated metal sides, plus a sturdy plastic handle. This keeps the coffee maker away from the hands while pouring, yet is dishwasher friendly.

The filter is made from sturdy SS304 stainless steel for long lasting filtering of coffee grounds.

This French press is ideal for use at home or on the go; with tailgate parties, excursions, or camping.
Never again will you have to settle for bad tasting instant coffee. You can take this durable French press along and make coffee that others only wish they had.

Think of those cool days while watching sporting events and being able to have a hot mug of coffee. Or rising early at your campsite and enjoying the morning with a perfectly brewed cup of coffee.

ProCo would like for everyone to be able to enjoy this new French press for themselves or as a gift to others. To celebrate, ProCo is giving away a special 20% off Amazon discount coupon code to try this French press coffee maker. This way people can experience this great brand and product at the lowest possible price.

To get yours now, visit https://bit.ly/FrenchPress20percentOFF. The quantities are limited so please take advantage of this while supplies last. Remember to recycle your coffee grounds in a compost. Coffee grounds help in building the soil.
