Homeless Man Found Outside Of Animal Shelter.

When They Learn Why, They Answer His Prayers

Sadly, you can find homeless people anywhere.

But there is one place that seems a bit abnormal.

An animal shelter.

And that's exactly where this young homeless man was found.

But his reason for staying there was one that has been grabbing the hearts of thousands.

No, this man didn't choose DeKalb County Animal Services out of mere comfort.

So the workers were confused when they saw him sleeping right outside the front door.

As they began to talk to the man, they discovered this man's story.

They even found out why he choose there to sleep.

And it broke their hearts.

"Our kennel tech woke him up, and the man said his dog had gone missing," Sia Karen

Hirsch, who is the spokesperson for the shelter.

He also mentioned that he had spent all of his money that he had collected in order to

pay for a bus ride to the kennel.

He was hoping that his dog would have been found, and picked up and taken to the kennel.

And he was in luck, as his lost dog had been picked up around 2 weeks earlier.

But the problem?

She was being held at the animal service's new facility, which was all the way across

town.

The homeless man was extremely upset, knowing he had no way to get there other than walking,

and that would take too long.

The kennel tech felt terrible for the man.

He knew he didn't have any other way to get there.

So instead of forcing him to walk, the kennel tech decided to cover the cost of the train

ride over.

The homeless man broke down in tears.

He hadn't been shown such friendliness in a long time, and this just meant the world

to him.

He was finally going to be reunited with his best friend, and nothing could possibly make

him happier.

At that point, rescuers at the facility had become acquainted with the little dog, who

they named Tata.

She was happy and healthy, and was just a loving dog.

When the homeless man arrived to pick up little Tata, it was clear to them that this little

dog may not have had a lot while living with this man, but she was loved deeply, and loved

him in return.

"You could see the joy in his face when they were reunited.

It was wonderful.

The joy for both of them was palpable.

It lifted everyone's spirit to see it.

Love is love, no matter who it's coming from.

He probably puts the dog first in his life, because without her he doesn't have anything,"

said Hirsch.

The shelter was even so kind as to waive their normal fees for the man, in order to reunite

them.

As well as offering them assistance in the future.

DeKalb County Animal Services also started an outreach program, which is helping homeless

people in the area care for their animals.

"Some people don't understand giving a pet back to a homeless person, but some of

those people take better care of their pets than some of us with homes.

If you see a homeless person with a pet, and are hesitant to give them money, you can give

them dog good, or even flea medicine.

They are need bottles of water.

Just basic supplies that humans and dogs can use.

Their pet is sometimes the only thing they have in their lives," commented Hirsch.

We are just so thankful that this man was reunited with his puppy.

We could tell just how much it meant to him, and we wish them both the best!

Kate Winslet reveals how often she weighs herself - and her answer may surprise you!

Kate Winslet has purposely avoided weighing herself for more than 12 years. The 41-year-old has often come under intense scrutiny in Hollywood because of her curvy figure.

And the actress has previously spoken of how she was advised to settle for the fat girl parts during her time at drama school.

However, in an interview with The Sun newspaper to promote her new movie The Mountain Between Us, in which she co-stars with Idris Elba, the mother-of-three admitted she has no idea how heavy she is, as she hasnt weighed herself since around 2005.

Kate made the admission as she discussed a scene in which Idris has to drag her from a stream. It was very hard on him, she said. I dont know how much I weigh.

I havent weighed myself in 12 years – top tip it is great for the mood. But pulling my body weight, plus soaking wet with water and those clothes – it was pretty rough on poor old Idris..

Since Kate became a star in 1997 movie Titanic, she has been body-shamed for her normal figure. In an interview with Harpers Bazaar she spoke about the pressure to be thin, and how she prefers puts her health and sanity first.

I so didnt want to be one of those: Oh, wow, shes back in shape after 12 weeks women, Kate insisted to the publication. When I read things like that, I just think: Oh, for f**ks sake, thats actually impossible.

If you spend too much of your time focusing on the wrong stuff, like how much you weigh, then you forget to enjoy the fun stuff, dont you? Im no stranger to the occasional dodgy juice, but it doesnt taste very nice and its bloody boring..

Is Blockchain Technology Really the Answer to Decentralized Storage? - Duration: 11:40.

Is Blockchain Technology Really the Answer to Decentralized Storage?

The Blockchain has become much more than a simple piece of technology. It has become a symbol for freedom, transparency and fairness.

With this being said, it's no wonder we see projects leveraging Blockchain tech as a "one-size-fits-all" tool to solve all sorts of problems, many of which could not be further from the original purpose of the Blockchain.

Nowadays, the words "Blockchain technology" are thrown around alot and sometimes the use of the technology itself is unnecessary.

Tim Swanson, Director of Market Research at R3CEV has even coined the term chain washing to describe companies/startups that are using or trying to use Blockchain technology in certain areas when in fact, they could be using more advanced technology for the purpose at hand.

This becomes especially evident when it comes to file and data storage.

Although the Bitcoin Blockchain is basically a decentralized database for transactions, accounts and balances, keeping that information on a decentralized ledger is already proving to be a challenge due to capacity issues.

Nevertheless, several projects and companies insist on looking at Blockchain-based solutions for storage and, while there are clear cases of misguided enthusiasm when it comes to the use of Blockchain technology, there are some projects out there that are worth taking a look at.

Blockchain Technology as an Incentive Layer. When it comes to a mutualistic relation between Decentralized Ledger Technology (DLT) and data storage, the most common use case for the Blockchain is as an incentive layer.

This means that data isn't stored on the Blockchain itself, but the network at hand is able to leverage the Blockchain as a ledger for automatic payments and/or for value exchange, enabling users to pay for storage or access to files.

In this case, the advantages for using the Blockchain over any other technology are clear. These include faster settling times, lower transaction fees (which enable microtransactions), higher privacy and the ability for transparent and immutable record keeping.

While the Blockchain isn't being used for data storage, it is providing the foundation on which the decentralized network is built, allowing it to run with no central authority whatsoever.

There are several projects leveraging the Blockchain in such a way. Storj, one of the first and most successful decentralized storage networks on the cryptosphere, comes to mind.

The project started out using a Bitcoin-based asset but later moved to an ERC20 token on the  Ethereum Blockchain.

This token, the Storj Coin (SCJX), is used by clients to pay for storage and acts as an incentive for nodes that keep part of the client's files.

These files have been previously shredded, encrypted, and distributed to multiple nodes in order to ensure their safety and availability. Another popular example is Filecoin, a project developed by Protocol Labs, the creators of the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).

In case you aren't familiar with IPFS, it is an alternative p2p hypermedia protocol that allows files to be stored in a permanent and decentralized fashion.

This provides historic versioning for files, removes duplicates and even allows users to save on bandwidth since files are downloaded from multiple computers and not from a single server.

While IPFS provides a basis for the storage of files, Protocol Labs took this one step further with the development of Filecoin which, according to the whitepaper, "works as an incentive layer on top of IPFS.

" The system is different from the one used by Storj on many levels.

In Filecoin, miners are paid to store and retrieve files, while also receiving mining rewards from their "useful Proof of Work. There is also no set price for file storage.

Instead, users and miners place buy and sell orders in a decentralized storage exchange, making Filecoin a competitive marketplace in which prices can adapt to outside conditions.

While Filecoin and Storj focus on providing affordable cloud storage services, a project named Decent is currently working on a decentralized content sharing platform which allows users to upload and monetize/share their work (videos, music, ebooks, etc) without the need to rely on a centralized third party.

Users can access content in a much more affordable way by skipping these intermediaries while the nodes that host the content are rewarded with fees. Much like Storj, the files stored by the nodes on the Decent network are shredded and encrypted.

Blockchain for storage? Is it possible?. Storing data on a Blockchain like Bitcoin would be doable, in theory. However, Bitcoin's current blocksize limit only allows for 1MB of data to be stored every 10 minutes.

Even if you remove that limit, nodes will eventually stop being able to maintain a copy of the Blockchain due to its size, resulting in a centralized and easily-disruptable network.

Of course, the scalability problem hasn't deterred developers from trying to use the Blockchain as a storage solution and a project called Archain may just have found a solution.

Archain is a cryptocurrency project that wants to address online censorship by creating a decentralized archive for the internet.

To do so, Archain will leverage a new Blockchain-derivative data structure, the blockweave which according to the whitepaper, allows the network scale to an "arbitrary size..

Once a user submits a page for archiving on the Archain system, it is stored on the blockweave with the fees paid by the user being allocated to the miner that finds the block at hand.

Since the  Archain requires miners to store both the current block and a previous block that has been randomly picked from the blockweave, miners have an incentive to store as much as the data as they can without being forced to store the entire blockweave.

As such, Archain is able to ensure that content requested by users is always available without the need for it to be stored by every single node on the network.

Archain is also able to address download speeds by incentivising users to propagate poorly-mirrored blocks.

You cannot talk about chain washing for too long without talking about private Blockchains. The concept of a private Blockchain is, to a degree, paradoxical as there is really no use for a Blockchain if the network is closed.

To put it simply: If a Blockchain network is not immutable, open or transparent, then a regular database will usually be far more efficient than a Blockchain.

Yet there is a little known project leveraging a private Blockchain in combination with the public Waves Blockchain to provide clients with the "best of two worlds.

We are talking about Sigwo Technologies LLC, a company that focuses on providing dApps and consulting services for legacy businesses that want to integrate Blockchain technology for data storage and disaster recovery.

Although Sigwo Technologies LLC provides a wide range of services, its use of the Jupiter Blockchain, the Mercury token and the Waves Platform caught my attention. Jupiter is a private Blockchain built specifically for encrypted information storage.

Different networks are created for different companies, allowing authorized nodes to join in and download the data on the chain. So far, Jupiter is not much different from any other private Blockchain.

What makes it stand out is how Jupiter is able to ensure transparency and immutability despite being a private Blockchain.

Once data is stored on Jupiter, the block hashes from the private Blockchain are stored permanently on the Waves Blockchain. This is done by adding the block hash to a Waves transaction.

Since Waves transaction can be paid for with a custom token, the Mercury token is used which makes the process affordable.

Since block hashes are stored on the Waves Blockchain, any change made to the private Blockchain will be publically detected. This happens because the hash from a certain block will always vary according to the information contained in the block.

What we're left with is a Blockchain in which large amounts of data can be stored by specialized nodes (unlike public Blockchains) while remaining publicly verifiable. Conclusion.

As we have seen, there are no shortage of projects that are using Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to make decentralized storage possible.

However, it is also worth noting that DLT is still in its early stages and it is possible that other, more advanced technologies can replace it with respect to specific use cases.

In other words, Blockchain may not be the answer for everything.
