Home Heart Health Sleep, but not too much, to improve your heart health
Sleep, but not too much, to improve your heart health
Knowridge
In a new study, researchers found that even if you are a non-smoker who exercises and has no genetic risk to heart disease, skimping on sleep—or getting too much of it—can increase your risk of a heart attack.
They also found that for those at high genetic risk for heart attack, sleeping between six and nine hours nightly can offset that risk.
The research was done by a team at CU Boulder and elsewhere.
Previous research has long suggested an association between sleep and heart health, but because those studies were observational—looking at different groups to see who develops the disease—it's been difficult to determine whether poor sleep causes heart problems or vice-versa.
Many factors can influence both heart health and sleep, making it even more difficult to determine cause and effect.
The team analyzed the genetic information, self-reported sleep habits and medical records of 461,000 UK Biobank participants age 40 to 69 who had never had a heart attack, then followed them for seven years.
Compared to those who slept six to nine hours per night, those who slept fewer than six hours were 20% more likely to have a heart attack during the study period.
Those who slept more than nine hours were 34% more likely.
For instance, people who slept five hours per night had a 52%higher risk of heart attack than those who slept seven to eight hours, while those who slept 10 hours nightly were twice as likely to have one.
When the researchers looked only at people with a genetic predisposition to heart disease, they found that sleeping between six and nine hours nightly cut their risk of having a heart attack by 18%.
The team says sleeping too little can impact the lining of the arteries, or endothelium, impact bone marrow development of inflammatory cells but also lead to poor dietary choices and ill-timed eating (which can in turn impact weight and, thus, heart health).
Sleeping too much may also boost inflammation in the body, which is also linked to heart disease.
This study provides some of the strongest proof yet that sleep duration is a key factor when it comes to heart health, and this holds true for everyone.
Regardless of what people's inherited risk for a heart attack is, sleeping a healthy amount may cut that risk just like eating a healthy diet, not smoking, and other lifestyle approaches can.
One author of the study is Celine Vetter, an assistant professor of Integrative Physiology.
The study is published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Newport News Public Schools (NNPS) has been awarded a $1 million Department of Defense grant to implement the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) College Readiness Program in three NNPS high schools: Denbigh, Heritage and Warwick.
Denbigh High School students conduct an experiment in the lab.
The NMSI grant aims to increase the number of students taking and excelling in college-level math, science and English classes with an emphasis on traditionally underrepresented students. The grant, which serves schools with military-connected students, will fund training and online curriculum resources for teachers and study sessions, classroom materials and Advanced Placement (AP) exam fee subsidies for students.
Recognizing the benefits of AP coursework, NNPS encourages all students to prepare for and take at least one AP class. Studies show that AP courses move students towards a higher level of preparedness for success after high school. AP courses help improve writing skills and problem-solving techniques, develop good study habits for engaging rigorous coursework and provide students with a greater level of depth and detail in subject areas.
Newport News Public Schools has earned an award for financial management practices and transparency from the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO). ASBO awarded the school division a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report for fiscal year 2017.
The NNPS Business Department was recently recognized for earning an award for financial reporting. Pictured left to right: Dr. George Parker, superintendent; Kimberly Powell, accounting analyst; Mary Lou Roaseau, assistant superintendent; and Gary Hunter, school board chairman.
The Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting is the highest recognition for school district financial operations offered by ASBO and is only awarded to school districts that have met or exceeded program standards. The report is recognized for providing a variety of information including financial statements, supporting schedules, statistics and narrative explanations. The awards program is designed to encourage school districts to provide the public with a fair presentation of all funds and financial transactions.
Newport News Public Schools is one of 553 districts across the country to earn this award. This is the eighth year that the school district's comprehensive annual financial report has earned this award.

In war there's death, destruction & fear, there's also a lot of silence that's usually invaded by the horrific reality & morbid thoughts one tries to escape.
What will happen if of all of those gathered in one place to haunt you every night?
The war started in 2011 and since, it never ended, consequently many other things start along with it; death, destruction, hunger, tragedy after tragedy, but never seem to end. My understanding of life is that it's supposed to be a series of ups and downs, but apparently in some unlucky cases, it's just a down followed by a deeper down towards the bottomless pit of indefinite suffering.
Writing this in my room, in my family's house, we're always surrounded by the atmosphere of war. Because of the continuous fighting in parts of the city. We're few of the lucky ones though who didn't have to evacuate, the buildings might get hit by stray bullets every once in a while, but that's about it. The thing about civil wars is that you're many things at once, you're a victim, a target, a participant, a refugee, & a citizen. Your identity is constantly changing & you never quite know what you should think or feel, you just try to adapt the best way you can to anything you're hit with. I can adapt, my mom couldn't.. so she left, left the city, left us, left most of herself.. and chose to live quietly in a rural area near the desert, "it's so quiet." She says. So quiet her head is making up the sounds of war she thought she had escaped.
My dad though, he's what I like to call "An anchorless ship", he just follows and stays with whoever of us he deems sane at that moment.
The rest of the people here, including my two siblings and I, spend their days busy going through the "adapting" part, trying to figure a way of life when everything is basically crumbling down around you, trying to piece together something close to what we view as a Normal Life, it's not easy, but it's possible, especially since it's an acquired skill that you can develop as you're continuously hit with new challenges & circumstances that keep making you reconsider your priorities & path in life on daily bases.
This is what war brings, even if you are not directly involved in the fighting, the rules still apply to you, What rules ? Survival is a priority, anything else falls behind. You need the mentality of a soldier to maneuver around all obstacles in your pursuit of life, you need to emotionally separate yourself from many of the tragedies & obscurities surrounding you, because there are so many of them that if you stop to indulge in sorrow & desolation, you'll be as good as a sitting target. Some disagree, like my mother, they believe that overlooking mishaps is as bad as committing them, that limiting our sympathy is nothing but abandoning human qualities.
The laughter I'm hearing from my window of children playing outside & the noise of car horns stuck in traffic , are these considered a cold hearted deviation from humanity ? Or is it strong human will conquering a bad situation & refusing to be consumed by purposeless thoughts of misery & distress ?
I wonder, does it escape them? how we cannot really run away from what we feel, rather we merely bury it, humans can't abandon their humanity. It's simply buried & for every person it's only a delayed resurrection of everything they thought they've evaded.
For me, that said resurrection is every night.. that's where my thoughts are haunted by the things I restrained during the day, and so during the day I find that I am either absent-minded in parallel realities, angry at things in ours, or occupied with idle matters, it rather appealing & comforting compared to be being slowly dissolved in worries & desolation every minute of the day.
When it'snight time though, it's the dreadful return of the inevitable. It's terrifying, depressing, and so.. quiet. Every night feels like how that time preceding the apocalypse is always described, all agony coming to an end with one final blow of more agony.
Suddenly, everything is heavier, breathing itself is a struggle, your body feels like you're sinking deeper and deeper, and thoughts, become the most consuming burden you carry. I subconsciously try to do what I've trained myself to do, separating myself emotionally, so that my body would be as quiet as the night in a war stricken land can be, needless to say, it's useless.
Then it creeps further to my consciousness through all of my defenses, my own distributer of silence, residing the empty room next to me, the resurrected constant devastation of every thought & feeling I have, & everything I am.
The story is shorter than whatever I ended up telling..there was a mother, a father and three children, they were visiting their grandparents out of the city, but roads were blocked and they got stuck in a town on the way back, and the fighting kept getting more closer to them.. with no escape, the father managed to phone: "We're ok, can you send us food and clothes just in case ?", That was 3 years ago & the bags of food and clothes are still in that maybe-not-so empty room that's keeping me suffering, human, & awake.

"Believe in What You Sell" – (August '12)
Aaron Roth – HOPE International – "Believe in What You Sell" – August 2012
Hi everyone, we had a successful day of business training for school owners last week even though Hurricane Isaac was picking up speed here in the Dominican. This upcoming weekend I'll be heading to Haiti for the first time. Please pray for safety and our work there with the savings groups. Also, as a reminder, I'm planning to stay here in the DR until October 11th to help out with a HOPE event here before returning to the States this fall. Do please continue to support me through the fall if you feel led.

It's easy to sell something that you believe in.
If you've ever had an experience selling, whether it's lemonade from your lemonade stand, magazine subscriptions door to door, or fundraising booths at a public event, you know you have had a lot more success when you truly believe the product you're selling is good and people want it. On the other hand, when you have to peddle some sort of snake oil that you don't believe in, sales are hard to come by. It's just a simple rule of business and of life.
Riding around on a motorcycle taxi through La Romana and San Pedro inviting school directors to our business training workshop was probably one of the easier sales calls I had to make in my life. For example, I would show up with a letter of invitation, and explain to the administration that they were invited to a four hour training session led by a CPA with 15 years of experience working with small, affordable, private Christian schools. Immediately their faces showed interest and they were expecting the huge price to come next, but I continued on, explaining that with his financial advice, he would walk us through how to prepare an operational budget for the upcoming school year. We'd have coffee, drinks, and sandwiches. Best of all, it would be free.
You can imagine the look of disbelief on their faces when I mentioned the word "free." Even more, I went on to say that we are doing a series on business trainings this upcoming fall covering areas of financial sustainability in our Biblical business training curriculum. Part of our program with doing microlending to small, Christian schools in economically poor areas includes doing Biblical business training and teacher training using the AMO program: www.amoprogram.com
It was an easy sell. I was met with smiles and handshakes and a gracious disbelief of the free offer. And then, on training day, we had 43 people attend from 26 schools.
Maybe, if you've read my previous newsletters you think that this will be the point where I break in with the bad news. Well, don't worry, there isn't. Not even the rain of Tropical Storm Isaac stopped us. It was an amazing experience to see the good inputs turn into great results.
Katia from Centro Educativo Agape (God's Love Education Center) said "I wish I had heard this information four years ago when I started my school." Haidy from Colegio Paso a Paso (Step by Step School) expressed, "Now, this makes sense why my income has to stretch to cover the expenses at the end of the month, I should be charging 10-15% more." It was a simple recipe: quality material, easy to understand examples, relevant training for school leaders.
Economically, these are poor schools. They charge anywhere from $7 to $12 a month for students to attend and even to parents who struggle to afford this money, they pay it, because they know the alternative is unsatisfactory. Their children will be crammed into a room with 50 other students in the public school, and they won't learn anything. No parent would want that for their child.
But for us, as an American organization, when we think about aiding this economic situation, to subsidize the education for these Dominican children would simply be ineffective and very expensive. It's not feasible for us to fund the 6,600 public schools or the 4,200 private schools. We don't have the money, but maybe more importantly, when we prevent local leaders like Katia or Haidy from being able to teach students from their own knowledge and skills, modeling good behavior and hard work, we prevent raising up local leaders, thereby limiting long term development and success. We do business training because we believe in local leaders to accomplish the role of education in the communities where they live.
It really makes me think about a key point, through all of my mission work down here: It matters what we believe, it matters what we do, and what we dedicate ourselves to.
When we try to build up our own success, that's a small victory. But when we turn and seek out these educators, leaders, and entrepreneurs, and partner with them, they win, their teachers win, their students win, the whole community wins and so do we. When we believe that there are 43 leaders who can educate their children well, it will change what we say and the confidence we feel when we ride around La Romana and San Pedro inviting schools to a business training. I believed, and they believed as well.
For me, I gave up a lot to be here in the Dominican Republic to serve with HOPE International and Esperanza International. I don't make a salary here. I have been supported by my church, friends, and family. They believed in what I was doing because I believed in it myself.
This is still what I believe in. I believe that those affected by economic poverty deserve an opportunity to climb up and out of the depths of financial despair, and I believe fundamentally that there are better ways of doing economic development. Here at HOPE, we believe that to ensure long-term success, we have to give a hand up, not a handout. When you give people the right tools, when you partner with them in the right way, when you believe in the right things, you will see success far beyond what you could have ever anticipated.
He replied, ". . . I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)
I pray that you will believe what is good and true and that you will speak boldly from what you believe.
Blessings to you and your family,
-Aaron

Passport, A Renewal – Part 1
A small part of the American dream sits patiently in an enormous waiting room of high ceilings, six foot fans, and factory-style fluorescent tube lights. Lines swirl around the inside, and the outside, seats for the lucky or elderly, but no matter who you are, or when you arrive, all must pass through security. No cell phones, please. A noticed presence of aspiration and perspiration hangs in the air.
For non-citizens in the waiting room of the US Embassy, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, or at least, a once a year application maximum. Many people are dressed in their Sunday best, hoping for a positive first impression with the officer administering the visa interview. Forms stacked on forms, collated, stapled, and 2×2 photos done while you wait. It feels clinical. Like someone's going to probe further into your inner ear, to listen in on your nervous chatter.
I wasn't so nervous, no, this to me was not my last hope, nor my first step in making it to the New World; I was already a citizen. Along with Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, one thing we extend to all foreign nationals interested in becoming citizens is the right to wait in line. In some ways, I missed the familiar bureaucracy, the silly red tape, and yes, the policies and procedures of controlling the masses.
As I stood in line for over 2 hours for an application drop-off of 5 min, I heard many conversations surrounding questions of history, questions of interview strategies, and plenty of answers to proposed destinations. It seemed to me, truly, that everyone had an American Dream. My dream amounted to hoping that the simple renewal of my passport would happen without a hitch as it's set to expire one month from this week. Yikes. That simple crucial piece of travel documents that you can't leave home without. (As my uncle Lyle joked, "If you've got a credit card and a passport, you won't have any problem getting anywhere.")
I know, I should have gotten this passport thing done when I was home in the States this past year. Really, it's just a simple "mail it and wait" process, but I wanted my new passport to come from the part of tremendous journey beginning more than two years ago where I set sail to learn Spanish, explore Latin America, and volunteer for a cause I believed in.
President Obama congratulating the new President Medina
In October, I'll be saying goodbye to almost two years in the Dominican Republic. It's been more than two years away from normal American life. In some ways I'm tired of living withing a paid job, tired of consistent cultural challenges, and tired of being "another gringo" walking around the commercial areas of Santo Domingo. It's not that I want to unplug from expatriate life, it's that I want to plug in to American life.
But as I look at the stamps in my old passport, I'm filled with a sense of duty to carryout the mission I started. By no means do I want to call travel or serving overseas a closed chapter of my life, or a "I got it all out of my system" kind of thing. I don't want it to be all said and done, because I don't believe it is.
I left the embassy without a passport feeling confident that at least for my part of the process, I was finished. But I don't want the feeling of adventure and exploration to end, and I know it won't be.
I believe it's just time for renewal.
Maybe then, that is what I hope for, and maybe it's safe to stay, I still have an American dream.

"A Parachute for All" – (July '12)
Aaron Roth – HOPE International – "A Parachute for All" – July 2012
Hi everyone, this newsletter is about the Esperanza-Edify family camp we had in a school called "Colegio Bethesda" in La Romana, Dominican Republic in July. As I mentioned earlier, I'm planning to stay here in the DR until October 11th to help out with a HOPE event here before returning to the States this fall. Do please continue to support me through the fall if you feel led.

My first experience with a parachute, thankfully, was not when I had to jump out of a plane. My mother had found an old Army parachute at a yard sale, and my siblings and neighbors and I played with it for hours during a summer in the early '90's. I distinctly remember talking with our resident engineer, my brother, how much time (in milliseconds) I would have to deploy the old, tattered, white parachute if I were to jump off the roof of our house. Luckily, our mother caught wind of our plans, and disabled access to the roof and scolded us enough to dissuade us from taking such a leap.
What was your first experience with a parachute? My guess it was some form of summer camp when you and your friends stretched out around the edges of the colorful fabric and breathed life into the beast as you launched beach balls, water balloons, or maybe, just maybe, some young, lucky aspiring astronauts that your youth leaders deemed rugged enough to survive a few test orbit missions from your summer camp launch pad.
Two weeks ago was yet another reminder to me that kids are kids, and that all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are all precious in His sight.
In Microfinance, we don't usually do summer camps for kids. We stress the importance in giving people a hand up, not a hand out. We make loans to those who live in economic poverty to help them start sustainable businesses to help them improve their economic situation on their own.
In the partnership with Esperanza-Edify, we make loans to small, low-cost private schools to build more classrooms and computer labs; initiatives that increase a school's income and improve the quality of teaching at an institution. We believe the best way to launch a child into success is with a solid education, but yes, for fun, on this particular occasion we did let the kids play with the parachute (but not physically launching them, don't worry).
Colegio Bethesda is the economically poorest school of the 33 schools in our lending program in Esperanza-Edify. In the past 18 months we have lent over US $300,000 to projects relating to construction of new classrooms, infrastructure improvements, and computer labs. (Note: Microloans are actively being paid back so that we can use this capital to lend to other schools. I love this aspect of how microfinance works!) We make loans with good interest rates and terms to projects that will help a school in providing a better education for the children of their community, and right now we have almost 7,000 children in our program of 33 schools.
Colegio Bethesda is a school that I've spoken about before in my newsletters and blogs; it's a largely Haitian community, and this community is considered the economically poorest in La Romana, a large city in the east of the Dominican Republic. It's a community where there is no regular access to water, electricity, and just 2 months ago, they got their first paved road.
So to celebrate the progress over the past 12 months of Colegio Bethesda with Pastor Wisley Denis and his school administration team, and their three new classrooms they built from the loan we made last summer, we wanted to do something special. Something that we don't normally do.
With the 90 students, their parents and their community, we brought a summer camp full of activities of arts & crafts, English classes, and games. Within HOPE, Esperanza, and Edify, when we find an appropriate project to assist a school in a manner that is more donation based, we try to do it in a way that empowers the community, instead of just a group of Americans coming and giving away large gifts. Pastor Denis found workers from his congregation that wanted to make an impact in the school in the community. He was looking for parents and workers that were invested in the importance of education, so local Haitian workers from the community finished the three classrooms during the camp.
Pastor Wisley Denis said,
"We are all very excited about this summer camp. For these children, they know that other kids get to go to camp, but they know they could never go. They simply cannot afford it. By showing up, by being present here, we are showing them they deserve to be special."
I was the leader of the older kids, "Los Campeones," (The Champions), pictured in the yellow shirts in various pictures above. Like most older kids, they were reserved, and a bit timid, just waiting for an excuse to run off some of their energy. So we passed from English and then onto crafts and finally to recreation. The chance to run and play had finally arrived. They were desperate to blow off some steam.
Sometimes I have a moment where it all clicks for me, and when I find myself in an economically poor community, with parents struggling to make ends meet, the temptation of drugs, prostitution and crime, the sickness, grief and the pain, the need and the desire of the innocent trying to just be children, and then comes something that just covers the entire situation with a new face, a new hope:
outstretched in the courtyard of the church was displayed the color-filled canvas pulled taut by the joyous hands of 30 screaming Haitian children.
How beautiful.
The photo I captured here to the right reminds me of the spirit of joy found in children, no matter where they are from, or what color their skin is. They all just want an opportunity to play.
I believe that children deserve access to good education, a teacher that encourages them and cares about their future, an administration that promotes values and discipline, adequate facilities that promote their development, and an opportunity for higher education.
And there, under the parachute was a common ground, a place where we could all laugh at the majesty of the colors of our make-shift tent. We all fit, we all deserved to be there, we were all special in the way we were made.
Red and yellow, black and white, they are all precious in His sight.
I think most of the time in America, we worry about how much resources we have to make sure that all children are covered in the schools, lamenting that we only have room for so many. We cut programs that engender the creative prowess of our youth to make way for standardized tests and programs. Many times the kids that need it the most, don't fit under the parachute, and sit against the wall . . . and learn that their only place is by the wall while the rest of the world gets to be underneath the glowing tent of colors.
I've got an idea, let's find a way to make a bigger parachute.
Let's find ways to make solid education available for more children and youth in our communities locally and internationally. It doesn't have to be in a public school classroom, or a private school for that matter, it can take form in a church, even the courtyard of a church that's covered in dirt and rocks. It just matters that we show up, that we make ourselves present, and that we make our youth know they too deserve to be there. By making the investment in youth, we will see our communities grow and flourish, just like Colegio Bethesda in Villa Hermosa of La Romana.
"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

Dance like Everyone's Watching
This past Sunday night I went to an outdoor concert at the ruins of San Francisco in the Colonial Zone. From 6:00 – 10:00pm every Sunday, a group of Caribbean music professionals put on a free show for the local community. It's a mix of Salsa, Merengue and once in a while, Bachata.
To the outsider, it's cultural bliss. To the insider, just get there early, you don't want to have to stand on the sidelines. So clearly, when my group of American friends and I showed up, there were no available chairs. No problem though, we found ourselves standing next to a wall. I couldn't help but think we were the typical wallflowers, the foreigners who had not yet learned to dance like the locals. It felt a bit like 8th grade again.
I suppose one advantage to being on the outside is that you can see all that moves on the dance floor, and in one moment, we saw a beautiful young Dominican woman being spun around what appeared to be an older fella who didn't seem to be moving all that much. My friend's comment to my proposed criticism was that, "It's not so much what you can see that's important, it's what's you don't see that makes the difference."
On second inspection then, what appeared to be a grandpa who may have lost his way back to his seat, was instead a youthful, suave, Salsa dancing veteran decked out in red pants, red suspenders, a white shirt with accented red designs, and a red Kangol cap. If you know anything about dance, (or I suppose dating), it's the man's responsibility to make the lady look good. And did she!
The next song. Another woman. And one more after that. Now that we had better data, we realized that this guy was in high demand, and boy was he loving it. It was clear that he both danced like no one, and yet everyone was watching him.
He reminded me of Morrie, recounted in the book, "Tuesdays with Morrie" written by Mitch Albom
"He had always been a dancer, my old professor. The music didn't matter. Rock and roll, big band, the blues. He loved them all. He would close his eyes and with a blissful smile begin to move to his own sense of rhythm. It wasn't always pretty. But then, he didn't worry about a partner. Morrie danced by himself.
He used to go to this church in Harvard Square every Wednesday night for something called "Dance Free." They had flashing lights and booming speakers and Morrie would wander in among the mostly student crowd, wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants and a towel around his neck, and whatever music was playing, that's the music to which he danced. He'd do the lindy to Jimi Hendrix. He twisted and twirled, he waved his arms like a conductor on amphetamines, until sweat was dripping down the middle of his back. No one there knew he was a prominent doctor of sociology, with years of experience as a college professor and several well-respected books. They just thought he was some old nut.
Once, he brought a tango tape and got them to play it over the speakers. Then he commandeered the floor, shooting back and forth like some hot Latin lover. When he finished, everyone applauded. He could have stayed in that moment forever."
Well in our case, when our friend finally finished, he took off his red Kangol cap and bowed to the crowd. Hearty applause rang out. Applause to a guy who knows how to make the lady look good.
I need to take some dance lessons and get there earlier next Sunday. And if I'm gonna dance like everyone's watching I know I need to make the lady look good.

Those Kinds of Burglars
Take a look at this picture. See anything? Anything missing?
It's actually a picture of a ceiling inside the low-cost private school Colegio Paso a Paso ("Step by Step") where someone stole the ceiling fan.
I was sweating, sitting in a chair in the office of director, Haidy Guerrero, when she lamented that she couldn't turn the fan on for me. When I asked why, she pointed upwards and that's when I took the photo.
A few weeks prior, some thieves broke into the school and removed the six ceiling fans inside the classrooms. At about $65 ( a weekly salary of an average worker), that's a $400 replacement fee that the school could not afford. I think about me, sitting there sweating, and then those kids next door, so disciplined, paying attention to their teachers, not minding the heat reverberating off the concrete block walls.
Come to think of it, most of the schools in the Esperanza-Edify programs don't have ceiling fans in their rooms. The kids just deal with it. When students are paying less than US $10 a month to go to low-cost private school it doesn't leave a lot of room for the administration to use their funds for things like air conditioning or even fans.
But if you think this is a violation of national school policies, the public schools don't have fans, and most of these kids will go back to a home that is built from concrete blocks, where one or two wall fans will cool of the five or eight members of their family.
It makes me wonder then, if these thieves broke into the school for the fans, did they install them in their own homes?
Probably not, they resold them for the cash. It's hot in the Dominican Republic, and the demand for cool air is high.
"Save a Dollar" – (June '12 Newsletter)
Aaron Roth – HOPE International – "Save a Dollar" – June 2012
Hi everyone, this newsletter is about June and the HOPE International savings groups in Comas, Peru, and the July newsletter will be about the Esperanza-Edify family camp we had in Colegio Bethesda in La Romana, Dominican Republic. On another note, although my final date was to be August, I'm planning on staying to early October to help with an annual HOPE event here in the DR. Do please continue to support me if you feel led. More on my Fall departure will come in the next newsletters, and on my blog.

"I didn't know how to save my money, but now I do." is what Olga, 52 years old, member of the "Good Seed" savings group in Comas, Peru told me. Have you ever said that to someone? (Or do you know how to save?) Has your budget ever come up short during a month? Have you ever wanted to buy something but felt that it was just out of your reach? These are the questions that I use daily when talking with people about their money and their hopes and dreams for the future. In Olga's case, she has been excited about putting away $2-3 a week, something she's never done before in her life, and is amazed to see her stock pile grow which she will use to make inventory purchases in the future.
Last month, I had the opportunity to go work in Lima, Peru for six days during June 20-26 to help a volunteer from HOPE, Cindy Kalinoski, www.thewordhelper.com, do a series of interviews of the savings group members, the program team, and the local church that was implementing the project.
As a translator, it was my job to schedule the trips to the local market and facilitate the interviews while Cindy carried out the content of each meeting. Our work took us through three local markets of three districts of North Lima. Lima, Peru has a population of nearly 30 million people, and roughly nine million of those live in the capital in one of 36 districts. It was interesting and very enjoyable to be in another Latin American country that spoke Spanish, but instead of sea-level plains and Carribean plants, I was surrounded by mountains and the noise and hustle and bustle of the city.
In North Lima, our home base was a district called Comas where HOPE International has a partnership with the local church Iglesia Alianza Cristiana y Misionera de Comas (www.acymcomas.org) to carry out a savings group program. Members of the group make weekly savings deposits when they meet in small groups of their local congregation, and the groups save their funds together as a form of accountability and support. This similar savings model is what HOPE savings programs look like in Rwanda where we have more than 100,000 members with a partnership Urewego Bank (www.uomb.org), and in the Philippines where we have more than 200,000 members with a partnership with CCT (http://cct.org.ph).
In speaking with Pastor Angel Barriento, senior pastor of the Comas church, he relayed to us the state of the local economy: "Most of the local commerce in the area can be classified as "informal" meaning that the people are out in the streets and in the markets selling goods, instead of office buildings and corporate parks like you all might be used to. For those at the bottom of the social class pyramid, there are relatively few or no options to have banking services or basic savings programs."
The Comas church has been excited about this project because by offering this savings tool coupled with a financial ministry they are able to reach people they would never be able to meet by traditional methods. A basic strategy of finding new clients is to walk around through the markets (pictured right) and ask them where they do their banking and where they go to church. A member of the leadership team can then invite them to church and to the savings groups they are promoting. Simple and effective.
In Comas, Peru, in South and Central America, and indeed here in the Dominican Republic, you'll see in most economically poor areas that there is a basic lack of financial services: checking accounts, savings accounts, and reasonable rates for loans. In America, we don't even think twice about not having access to these services. With advertisements on our local streets or arriving in the mail, we are inundated with offers.
But in talking with the members of these seven savings groups in Peru, getting a savings account is pretty tough with the account requirements, distance to local banks, and the limited service hours. This is why HOPE promotes savings groups, and their specific strategy is managing these programs through an established community like a church.
I believe now more than ever that in order to have overseas development work well, we have to partner with local leaders. I was overjoyed to meet Pastor Roberto Peche and his family (pictured above wearing a tie with the leadership team). He's in charge of the men's ministry for the church and the financial ministry with the savings groups. He has such a passion for teaching and discipleship and this program allows him to go out into the communities to give them financial tools and training to prosper in their businesses.
Take for example the case of Milagros (pictured right.) She joined this savings group from the church about 10 months ago, when Pastor Roberto and his team came through the market where she was working. Through the savings group she learned how to manage her money, create her own budget, make plans for a future business, and was given a position of leadership and responsibility as the secretary of the group. What's most exciting is that recently, when the group was mature and built up its savings funds, the group gave Milagros a loan for $75. With that $75 dollars she was able to buy more inventory for her store.
I love this idea that this business that you see in the left picture did not exist 3 months ago, but with this loan from her savings group, a community of her friends, she was able to fulfill a lifelong dream – owning her own store. This store provides the necessary income for her and her three children, and since it is the only one in the local neighborhood she is helping her community have better access to needed goods.
For us, maybe the idea of saving a few dollars isn't anything special, but if you were to put yourself in the shoes of someone like Milagros or Olga, people who have no easy access to financial services, saving money was hard. But now, even these few dollars can make a big difference in their lives. They began trusting in the promise of savings, the promise of the solidarity and community that they find in their group, and a new hope in the truth they are finding in the church community, as many of the women in the group were not active church goers in the past.
I think so often that for us, we put so much stock in what we make, or what we are able to earn and buy. It can represent the value we have for ourselves and what we show our friends and family. We can get lost in what the role and the utility of money should be, and make it something more important than it is. By talking with these members of the savings groups, I see the value in appreciating money in the right way and by trusting in the promise of the Bible.
"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." (1 Timothy 6:17-19 NIV)
I pray that you would see the value in saving your money to save for the good purchases in life, and that stockpiling or making money would not distract you from what is really important.

Changunarayan Temple reopens for visitors
Published: July 26, 2015 11:18 am On: Kathmandu
Rastriya Samachar Samiti
Changunarayan Temple in Bhaktapur,. THT Online file photo
BHAKTAPUR: Changunarayan Temple in Bhaktapur, an ancient temple enlisted in the UNESCO heritage list, reopened to the public that was closed after heavy damages in the deadly April 25 'Gorkha Earthquake'.
Chief Archaeological Officer Aruna Nakarmi said that the temple was reopened to the visitors from July 17. The Department of Archaeology has installed three CC cameras for the security of the domestic and foreign visitors and temple conservation while the structures in the quake-damaged heritage site are given support with the help of lumbers.
The Changunarayan Temple witnessed serious damages in the quake while Krishna Mandir located near to the main temple has tilted four inch back, according to chief priest Chakradharananda Rajopadhyay.
Likewise, a sattal that was renovated two years ago with the investments of Rs 9 million is also completely destroyed and the 'living traditional museum' collapsed in the quake. However, Chhinnamasta Temple is not affected.
The Department said that Rs 300 million is needed for the maintenance and reconstruction of the damaged structures in theChangunarayan Temple premises.


Question: In at least one scene of the NYC mayor's office/residence, the flag on the other side of her desk from the U.S. flag appears to be the flag of Mexico. Is this correct?
Chosen answer: That's the flag of New York City - see http://flagspot.net/flags/us-nyc.html. While it does look similar to Mexico, the Mexican flag is green, white, and red instead of blue, white, and red.
Question: Did that animal in Crematoria's prison (during the "feeding") have his eyes change (start glowing) after his contact with Riddick? I thought maybe I had missed something, but it looked like he/it had eyes like Riddick's after.
Chosen answer: The animals appear to be somewhere between a minor-class mimic of their surroundings and emotionally-triggered chameleons. As a sympathetic gesture towards Riddicks' dominant nature, it may have been altered purposely, or it was the animals' native eye color, when unstressed.
Question: Why was the ship that stopped in the front of the library empty? Did the crew abandon ship? Or was there something more sinister?
Chosen answer: Hard to tell why, it was not depicted. During heavy storms, most people would be on call, attending watches in the engine room and bridges. They probably died during the storm (several causes, as such heavy trashing, being swept away, the cold) etc., but their bodies were not shown, as it was irrelevant to the plot.
Question: I understand that Faramir and Aragorn are both Rangers, but what is a Ranger as depicted in the "Rings" trilogy?
Chosen answer: Not as simple a question as it sounds, as, while Faramir and Aragorn are both described as Rangers, they're actually different types of Ranger. Faramir is one of the Rangers of Ithilien, a Gondorian group who specialise in using guerrilla tactics against the forces of Sauron in the land of Ithilien, between the Anduin river (which runs through Osgiliath) and the Mountains of Shadow that form the western border of Mordor. Aragorn is the current chieftain of the Rangers of the North, who came into being after the fall of the northern kingdom of Arthedain, ruled over by Isildur's descendants. After the loss of Arthedain, the people survived in the wild as the loose-knit organisation known as the Rangers. The two groups are related - both originate from the Dunedain, the long-lived descendants of the survivors of Numenor - but have been seperated for around 3000 years.
Question: Why did Pippin decide to be in the service of Lord Denethor?
Chosen answer: He says it specifically - he's offering his service in payment of what he sees as a debt to Denethor, in that Boromir gave his life to protect Pippin and Merry.
Question: How does Smeagol over time becomes the hideous-looking Gollum? Did the One Ring radically changed his appearance? Also, what kind of Hobbit was Smeagol?
Chosen answer: Smeagol was believed to have been a Stoor, a branch of the hobbits known for being quite large and strong (by hobbit standards). His mutation is because of the Ring - precise reason unclear, but almost certainly related to the fact that it has prolonged his life far beyond a normal hobbit span (Gollum is around 580 years old when he dies, easily five times the normal lifespan)- note that Bilbo, who, while old, is still within a normal hobbit lifespan, looks physically normal. Smeagol, through use of the Ring, has been influenced by the wraithworld, in exactly the same manner that the kings of men who were given the nine rings ultimately became the Nazgul - in time, he would presumably have become a wraith-like being like them. Gollum's current appearance may be some intermediate stage.
Question: Why did Anthony Head leave for some episodes of series 6? Was it purely a character/plot decision, or did he have other commitments?
Chosen answer: He wished to return to live in England with his family, so made an agreement that he would take a reduced role in the series.
Question: Whenever anyone wants to contact someone else from another part of the ship, they hit their badge and say (for example), "Picard to Engineering." In no episode ever is there an instance where we hear somebody call someone else who is not involved in the current scene. We should assume, therefore, that when communication like this is initiated, it is only heard by the recipient of the page. So the question is, how can the ship's communication system know ahead of time who the person is paging? In other words, if Picard says, "Picard to Engineering," what keeps sickbay from hearing his call? There can't be a time-delay (i.e., the computer does not make the page until it hears the entire page, and then directs it only to the intended recipient) because in many episodes we hear the reply right away. Can anyone explain this? Are we simply "lucky," in that we only hear pages made by or sent to people in the scene we're watching?
Chosen answer: Enterprise's computer directs the call to the aforementioned department. It is then answered by the ranking member of the department. For instance, if Engineering was contacted, and Geordi was in sickbay or off duty, the call would be answered by whoever was "officer of the watch" in Engineering. Mainly, it wouldn't do much for the show to say, "Picard to engineering", "This is engineering, go ahead." "Yes, I'd like to speak to Geordi about some more phaser power, please", "One moment, I'll transfer you."
There is a episode of Voyager where someone calls someone on their combadge and it gets rerouted to another station and someone else answers. Due to a communications error being fixed. The comm signal was rerouted.
Question: Could someone please explain to me the different ranks onboard the ship? Like there were the men in uniform, the kids in uniform, then the other guys who had no uniform?
Chosen answer: Traditionally aboard any type of Royal Navy sailing vessel you would have a heirarchy of officers. Beginning with the Captain (technincally not a real rank, Post Captain was the real rank. Post Captain meaning you had commanded a vessel three years or more and had shown yourself of distinction worthy of promotion), then going down through Lieutenants 1st through 5th. The younger boys were juinior officers, or non-commissioned officers, and thus had the lowest rank of any officer, Midshipman, meaning they had command authority in the event of the death of another officer or if it was bestowed upon them in the absence of a higher ranked officer. The non-officers seem to be a mix of ensigns and hired hands. There were also Marines aboard (guys in red and white uniforms), with their ranks usually including either a Lieutenant or Sergeant Major, his subordinates, and a number of infantry units, usually corporals or privates. The Marines were ususally at platoon strength or higher, meaning about 12-20 Marines. There were also what appeared to be Corpsmen (military doctors), but I couldn't really tell if the doctors on board were all civilians, or a mix of Corpsmen and civilians.
Question: I've got one question about Legolas' infamous jump on to the horse during the wolf-attack. Is it even possible to do something like that? How did they shoot that scene?
Chosen answer: It's a computer-generated Legolas. While experienced riders are capable of some pretty amazing stuff, I'd imagine that what's seen would be impossible to do in reality - certainly not without throwing the horse off a lot more than seen here. But then, Legolas is an elf, so all bets are off on what he's capable of doing.
Question: Forgive my ignorance, but what does Aragorn say after Legolas returns the Evenstar pendant?
Chosen answer: He says "Hannon le" - it means "Thank you".
Question: Does anybody know why the actress Anita Barone was replaced by Jane Sibbett as Carol Willick after episode 1.1? I know this kind of thing happens all the time, but I wondered if there was a particular reason.
Chosen answer: From tvtome.com: Anita Barone had auditioned for one of the three female leads in the show, but didn't get the part. The producers then offered her the recurring role of Carol. However, after only one episode as Carol, Barone decided that she was looking for a more full-time role and left to look for other opportunities, being replaced by Jane Sibbett beginning in episode 9.
Question: It shows in Reloaded that the Architect's room has hundreds of TV's in which to "Watch over" the Matrix. Why didn't he notice Agent Smith "Multiplying" earlier on and put an end to it before it got so out of hand?
Chosen answer: Undoubtedly he tried. During the Burly Brawl, for example, an agent appears, but is turned into a Smith. It appears he has very little control over rogue programmes.
Question: After that George (the Eminem wannabe) has been thrown out the window at the rap-club he and a friend of his walk past a parked car. Under the car you can see two feet sticking out. I don't think it's a crew member, I don't see any reason for a crew member to lie there. Is this any kind of joke or what? Why do someone lie there? Can someone please explain?
Chosen answer: It's just in the random nature of the films to have a dead body's legs sticking out from underneath a car.
Chosen answer: It's possible that the songs written for the character simply didn't suit his singing voice. There was an additional song written for the film, to be sung by Mufasa (called "To Be King") - this was eventually cut completely for a similar reason, namely that it didn't suit James Earl Jones' (very good) singing voice.
Question: I'm curious as to why Paéz is the narrator in the beginning and end of the film, when the movie focuses mainly on Canessa and Parrada as main characters. Almost all of the boys are alive today, and even if they weren't it is not Páez himself who is being interviewed but John Malcovich as Páez. So I'm still curious as to why they chose Páez instead of Parrado or Canessa, as they are both alive today.
Chosen answer: Keeping in mind that some parts of the audience were not familiar with the details of this story, using Paez as the narrator retains some of the suspense of Canessa and Parredo's journey across the Andes. If the audience is not told at the start that they survive, at least some viewers may have considered that one of them may die during their trek to civilization.
Question: I heard Keira Knightly was in this film, does anybody know who she played?
Chosen answer: She played Sabe, the queen's handmaiden and double.
Question: In this episode we see some of Spike's history - when he's human there's a bit where he walks down a street tearing up his poetry and bumps past Angel and Darla. We don't see their faces, but it's obviously them. I remember an episode of Angel when we see a flashback of Spike still human - can anyone remember the episode, and am I right in thinking that the bit we see is exactly the same moment in history, but we're focusing on Angel and Darla instead?
Chosen answer: This would be the episode "Darla", and, yes, it's exactly the same moment - I'm pretty sure that the same shot is used. In a nice bit of coordination, Darla is Angel episode 2.7, which corresponds exactly to Fool for Love, which is Buffy episode 5.7. - at the time, I think, the two series were shown on the same night, one after the other, making the two episodes, in effect, a double-length history lesson on the vampires of this particular bloodline. In an even nicer bit of coordination, this particular scene occurs at about the same point in each episode (around the 15-minute mark).

Balance is of utmost importance in any type of athletics. In Taekwon-Do, it deserves special consideration. When in a sparring situation, by keeping the body well balanced, a kick or a punch will be more effective and precise. Conversely, the unbalanced postion will be unstable and easily made unstable. The stance therefore, should be centred yet flexible, for both offensive and defensive movements.
To maintain good equilibrium, the centre of gravity of the stance must fall on a straight line midway between both legs with the body weight distributed equally. Or alternatively, if appropriate the centre of the foot to concentrate the body mass through one foot.
The centre of gravity can be adjusted according to body weight. Flexibility and knee spring are also important in maintaining balance for both a quick attack and instant recovery.
One additional point to consider; the heel of the rear foot should never be off the ground at the point of impact. This is not only necessary for good balance but also to produce maximum power at the point of impact.
Balance is something that is often mentioned in personal development and well-being circles. It is said you should eat a balanced diet, live a balanced life and seek a good work/family balance and strive for good mental health.
Experts believe exercise releases chemicals in your brain that make you feel good. Regular exercise can boost your self-esteem and help you concentrate, sleep, look and feel better. Exercise also keeps the brain and your other vital organs healthy, try to make physical activity that you enjoy a part of your day.
What does being physically active mean?
Physical activity. This can describe anything we do that involves moving our bodies.
Exercise. Any physical activity could be considered exercise, but when we talk about doing exercise we usually mean activities we do deliberately for fitness or training, rather than something that's part of our daily routine.
Sport. Sport usually refers to physical activities we do on our own or in a team for competition or fun.
How does excerise help your life balance? Write and let us know we'd love to hear your opinion.
Look out for our next article the letter C of our A to Z of Taekwon-Do.

Jacksonville, FL freight rates The northeast Florida city of Jacksonville is the self-proclaimed "America's Logistics Center." The city boasts 10 airports, four ports, a strong network of railways and convenient access to major highways and interstates. The region's deep water port, JAXPORT, has three marine terminals that handle 8 million tons of cargo annually, including more than 515,000 vehicles. Jacksonville is intersected by three major interstate highways (I-10, I-95, and I-75) and a back-door road to I-295 provides expedited access in and out of the city. Three commercial trade railroads also provide service to the region. A local Foreign Trade Zone encompasses six counties and the region has a well-established Latin American trade lane and expanding shipping business to and from Asia and Europe. Like with other Florida markets, Jacksonville freight rates will change with the seasons because of the tourist and citrus industries. LTL freight shipping is usually affordable due to the volume of goods moving through the state by truck and rail.
Cleveland, OH freight rates Cleveland offers direct-to-Europe express shipping service, cost-effective facilities and a prime location on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway system, a low-cost marine super-highway and the world's longest deep-draft navigation system. The Port of Cleveland is the closest major U.S. port of call on the Great Lakes for ships transiting the seaway system, which extends 2,300 miles and borders eight states and two Canadian provinces. Rail service is offered by two Class I railroads and truck carriers have immediate access to I-90 and two state routes with convenient access to I-77 and I-71. With only seven air cargo companies serving the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, the region offers less choice for air freight than other metropolitan areas. As a major manufacturing region, the majority of inbound freight consists of raw materials such as iron ore, limestone and steel, as well as heavy machinery and equipment, wind-energy components and other over-sized project cargo. Outbound cargo mostly consists of finished machinery and steel products.

# Stateless NiFi
Similar to other stream processing frameworks, receipt of incoming data is not acknowledged until it is written to a destination. In the event of failure, data can be replayed from the source rather than relying on a stateful content repository. This will not work for all cases (e.g. fire-and-forget HTTP/tcp), but a large portion of use cases have a resilient source to retry from.

Note: Provenance, metrics, logs are not extracted at this time. Docker and other container engines can be used for logs and metrics.
### Build:
`mvn package -P docker`

Docker image will be tagged apache/nifi-stateless:1.10.0-SNAPSHOT-dockermaven

### Usage:
After building, the image can be used as follows:
`docker run <options> apache/nifi-stateless:1.10.0-SNAPSHOT-dockermaven <arguments>`

Stateless NiFi flows can also be run using nifi.sh
`./bin/nifi.sh stateless <arguments>`

The <arguments> dictate the runtime to use:
```
1) RunFromRegistry [Once|Continuous] --json <JSON>
   RunFromRegistry [Once|Continuous] --file <File Name>   # Filename of JSON file that matches the examples below.

2) RunYARNServiceFromRegistry <YARN RM URL> <Docker Image Name> <Service Name> <# of Containers> --json <JSON>
   RunYARNServiceFromRegistry <YARN RM URL> <Docker Image Name> <Service Name> <# of Containers> --file <File Name>

3) RunOpenwhiskActionServer   <Port>
```

### Examples:
```
1) ${NIFI_HOME}/bin/nifi.sh stateless RunFromRegistry Once --file /Users/nifi/nifi-stateless-configs/flow-abc.json
2) docker run --rm -it apache/nifi-stateless:1.10.0-SNAPSHOT-dockermaven \
    RunFromRegistry Once --json "`cat /Users/nifi/nifi-stateless-configs/flow-abc.json`"
3) docker run --rm -it -v /Users/nifi/nifi-stateless-configs/kafka-to-solr.json:/home/nifi/flow.json apache/nifi-stateless:1.10.0-SNAPSHOT-dockermaven \
    RunYARNServiceFromRegistry http://127.0.0.1:8088 apache/nifi-stateless:latest kafka-to-solr 3 --file /home/nifi/flow.json
4) docker run -d apache/nifi-stateless:1.10.0-SNAPSHOT-dockermaven \
    RunOpenwhiskActionServer 8080
```

### Notes:
```
1) The configuration file must be in JSON format.
2) When providing configurations via JSON, the following attributes must be provided: nifi_registry, nifi_bucket, nifi_flow.
3) When running in docker, the configuration can either be provided as a string or by localizing the file into the docker container such as through the "-v" option.
```

### JSON Format
The JSON that is provided, either via the `--json` command-line argument or the `--file` command-line argument has the following elements:

- `registryUrl` : The URL of the NiFi Registry that should be used for pulling the Flow
- `bucketId` : The UUID of the Bucket containing the flow
- `flowId` : The UUID of the flow to run
- `flowVersion` : _Optional_ - The Version of the flow to run. If not present or equal to -1, then the latest version of the flow will be used.
- `materializeContent` : _Optional_ - Whether or not the contents of the FlowFile should be stored in Java Heap so that they can be read multiple times. If this value is `false`, the contents of any
input FlowFile will be read as a stream of data and not buffered into heap. However, this means that the contents can be read only one time. This can be useful if transferring large files from HDFS to
 another HDFS instance or directory, for example, and contains a simple flow such as `ListHDFS -> FetchHDFS -> PutHDFS`. In this flow, the contents of the files will be buffered into Java Heap if the
 value of this argument is `true` but will not be if the value of this argument is `false`.
- `failurePortIds`: _Optional_ - An array of Port UUID's, such that if any data is sent to one of the ports with these ID's, the flow is considered "failed" and will stop immediately.
- `ssl`: _Optional_ - If present, provides SSL keystore and truststore information that can be used for interacting with the NiFi Registry and for Site-to-Site communications for Remote Process
Groups.
- `flowFiles`: _Optional_ - An array of FlowFiles that should be provided to the flow's Input Port. Each element in the array is a JSON object. That JSON object can have multiple keys. If any of those
keys is `nifi_content` then the String value of that element will be the FlowFile's content. Otherwise, the key/value pair is considered an attribute of the FlowFile.
- `parameters`: _Optional_ - Key-value pairs (or objects if sensitive) that will be passed to the NiFi Flow as parameters.

### Minimal JSON Sample:
    {
      "registryUrl": "http://localhost:18080",
      "bucketId": "3aa885db-30c8-4c87-989c-d32b8ea1d3d8",
      "flowId": "0d219eb8-419b-42ba-a5ee-ce07445c6fc5"
    }

        "absolute.path": "/tmp/nifistateless/input/",
        "filename": "test.txt",

        "nifi_content": "hello"
      },

        "Username" : "jdoe",
        "Password": { "sensitive": "true", "value": "password" }
      }
    }

### TODO:
* Provenance is always recorded instead of waiting for commit. Rollback could result in duplicates:
    -StatelessProvenanceReporter.send force option is not appreciated
    -StatelessProcessSession.adjustCounter immediate is not appreciated
* Send logs, metrics, and provenance to kafka/solr (configure a flow ID for each?)
* Counters
* Tests
* Processor and port IDs from the UI do not match IDs in templates or the registry

What happens when the Internet of Things meets blockchain? Well Waltonchain definitely has a lot to say about it. Through the combination of IoT and blockchain, Waltonchain aims to create a genuine and traceable business ecosystem with complete data sharing and absolute information transparency.
Commercial blockchain applications are still in the early stages of development and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Waltonchain has come up with a solution that will take dapps to another level by uploading physical assets to the blockchain automatically.
Assuming that blockchain can help build trust, Waltonchain plans to create a new-generation IoT ecology where software and hardware interconnect, chains integrate into a network, data is shared, query and validation becomes cross-domain, and value is transmitted.
The vision of Waltonchain is to lead humanity to the reliable digital life via blockchain and bring about consensus, co-governance, co-sharing, and co-integration of IoT data and services in the information era.
The Waltonchain white paper describes an ecosystem which provides access to numerous child chains, traceability, and decentralization of products and information in different industries.
Waltonchain has proposed technological innovations such as chain cluster, WPoC, and PoL.
With ecosystem growth, Waltonchain will become a parent-child chain system similar to Ethereum smart contracts and cover most of the world's industries.
Currently, Waltonchain offers solutions for the agriculture and clothing industries.
Waltonchain's team is a group of pioneers specializing in the integration of blockchain, the Internet of Things, and RFID technology. The project has the strong support of senior blockchain developers, renowned investment institutions, prestigious lawyers, finance experts, world-class chip design experts, and the senior executives of China's top tech and clothing businesses.
Waltonchain has grown to a team of more than 200, nearly 80% of which are technical professionals. Waltonchain has set up research bases in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Quanzhou, and Xiamen in China, and Seoul in Korea.
In the Waltonchain system, you have to be a stakeholder to participate in the service, use it, or provide it to others. The service is data-centered. Being a stakeholder means you have to hold the WTC (ERC20) token. Only holders can contribute data to the system via uploading it to the blockchain and exchange data with value for more value. With the continuous growth of the Waltonchain ecosystem, more businesses will join it. A large amount of WTC will be consumed for packaging the parent and child-chain data.
WTC is the only parent-chain token of the whole business ecosystem. Any data and asset exchange across child chains needs to consume parent-chain tokens. When the ecosystem is formed, cross-chain data interaction becomes highly frequent.
You can store, send, and receive your WTC tokens in Lumi Wallet and rest assured that your digital assets are safe and sound.
First, you need to download our Lumi Wallet app. Create a PIN-code, And go to 'Settings' and write down your mnemonic phrase in the 'Backup wallet' section. Keep it safe and never ever share it with anyone!
Go to the 'Wallets' tab and tap anywhere on the white screen. You can add any wallet that you wish, just start typing in the name of the token or the project. Later on, you can easily navigate between your wallets, hide or swap their places.
Inside the wallet, you can check the price graph or your recent activity.
Sending and receiving WTC is also extremely easy: just tap on the 'Receive' button and share your address with the person who wants to send you the tokens or tap on 'Send' and fill in the details of the receiving party.
When it comes to managing your digital assets such as major crypto like BTC or ETH as well as ERC20 tokens, Lumi Wallet provides a smooth and easy experience. And we're always there if you happen to need some help or just want to chat about the crypto market news. Join us on Telegram or follow our social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit to get the hottest news from the blockchain industry!
