Stephen Tse, the visionary of Harmony, was born and raised in Hong Kong. 1997 saw his family move to Vancouver, Canada. Stephen exhibited a strong early curiosity in mathematics and programming languages. After a double major in computer science and mathematics, he proceeded to get a Ph.D. in security protocols from the University of Pennsylvania. Stephen started his professional life working as a researcher at Microsoft Research after finishing his studies. Then he started working for Google as a senior infrastructure engineer, helping on massive projects involving hundreds of millions of people. Not content to stop there, Stephen also worked for Apple as a principal engineer in search ranking. He started Spotsetter, a mobile search engine company eventually bought by Apple, at this time. Stephen started Harmony in 2018, having a lot of technological knowledge. Simple but ambitious was his aim: to build a decentralized application supporting a fast, safe, decentralized blockchain platform. Harmony became the first blockchain to apply sharding in a proof-of-stake network under his direction, an astounding feat in the blockchain space. Harmony’s path has not always been clear sailing, though. The Horizon bridge of the network had a significant hack in June 2022 when $100 million worth of Ethereum tokens were pilfers. The corporation responded with a $1 million reward for the information on the exploit and the restitution of the pilfers. Moreover, some former team members and ecosystem builders claimed Stephen and other executives of mismanagement and promise delivery failure, which helped to explain the drop in platform users and developers. Conversely, there have also been claims of internal strife, including one in which a dissatisfied developer physically attacked Stephen in the Palo Alto office over a financial issue. Stephen keeps Harmony under direction with an eye on innovation and community involvement in spite of obstacles. To further blockchain education and research, he participates in several projects, including serving on the Advisory Board of the Center for Blockchain and Digital Innovation at the University of Wyoming. Reflecting his will to take Harmony and the blockchain sector to much higher heights, his passion for technology and community is still enormous. From Hong Kong to the top of the IT industry, Stephen Tse’s journey is one of vision, tenacity, and adaptation. Notwithstanding challenges and difficulties, his commitment to creativity and community always drives his leadership. His narrative reminds us that, behind every innovative technology, there is someone with a great ambition and the will to realize it even if the road is full of difficulties.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to tackling inflation and making life more affordable for Americans. Speaking in an interview with FOX News on Tuesday, Bessent detailed the administration’s economic priorities, including efforts to lower interest rates. Mortgage rates have declined “dramatically” since Election Day and the inauguration, Bessent said. He attributed this trend in part to upcoming bank deregulation. Bessent emphasized that the administration aims to lower interest rates to help Americans struggling with high borrowing costs, particularly those in the bottom 50% of income earners who have been “crushed by these high interest rates” over the past two years. According to him, lower interest rates would not only benefit homeowners but also help ease credit card and auto loan costs, which have disproportionately affected low-income Americans. “So we’re set on bringing interest rates down and I think that’s one of the greatest accomplishments so far,” Bessent said. While inflation is easing, Bessent noted that costs for essential goods, housing, and insurance remain high, largely due to excessive regulations imposed by the previous administration. “There’s affordability and then there’s inflation. Inflation is slowing, still not back to the Fed’s target area. Affordability is this massive spike that we saw over the past two and four years,” said Bessent when asked how affordability could affect inflation. “We’re going to try to bring the prices back down,” said Bessent, noting that deregulation is key to addressing costs across sectors like insurance and housing. “There’s several thousand dollars of administrative burdens every year, and if we can cut that red tape and bring that down, then that’s an excellent start on the affordability,” Bessent said. The administration’s tariff policies were another key focus of Bessent’s remarks. New tariffs—10% on all Chinese imports and 25% on imports from Mexico and Canada—went into effect this week, sparking market reactions. While some analysts fear potential price hikes, Bessent expressed confidence that Chinese manufacturers will absorb the tariffs rather than passing costs onto American consumers. “On the China tariffs, China’s business model is export, export, export, and that’s unacceptable,” Bessent stressed. “They’re in the middle of a financial crisis right now that they’re trying to export their way out of it. So with the China tariffs, I am highly confident that the Chinese manufacturers will eat the tariffs. Prices won’t go up,” he explained. He also pointed to recent moves by companies like Honda, which announced plans to shift manufacturing to Indiana, as evidence that tariffs are successfully encouraging businesses to bring production back to the US. “With Canada and Mexico, you know, I think we’re in the middle of a transition, and just like you mentioned, Honda moving to Indiana is a great start,” he said. The Treasury secretary also outlined plans to expand US energy production across crude oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. “We’re going big in nuclear and we are going to… it’s going to bring down costs, but we’re also going to become major exporters of energy, which will make the world more secure,” Bessent said.

Thoughts on chanting.. When you chant names, you find your breath taking on a subtle tone with a frequency that calms your mind, makes you focused, cuts the chain of thoughts, and helps you connect with the unknown dimension with more practice. The heart plays a crucial role in this connection—it is not just a physical organ but a vessel of deep emotions, intuition, and the silent language of the soul. When you chant with devotion, the vibration doesn’t just stay in the mind; it resonates in the heart, creating a bridge between the seen and the unseen, between the self and the cosmic rhythm. The heart, unburdened by logic and untouched by external conditioning, responds to chanting in its purest form—synchronizing with the breath, expanding in stillness, and opening pathways to divine communion. There are some special names like “Ram, Om, Radhe, Krishna” that are used for chanting—names that carry the collective belief of people from the oldest religion in history. These names have been chanted by gazillions of people over the course of thousands of years. They carry the weight of collective manifestation—if you believe manifestation works, then chanting works. But how does manifestation really unfold through chanting? When you chant, you are not simply uttering words—you are aligning your entire being with an energy field that has been charged with centuries of devotion. The universe, as many ancient traditions suggest, is not indifferent; it is a field of vibrations where thoughts, intentions, and emotions shape reality. Chanting is the act of pouring your deepest intentions into this cosmic field, reinforcing them with sound, rhythm, and faith. The Bhagavad Gita speaks of the power of unwavering devotion—how the mind, when constantly attuned to the divine, merges with it. The Upanishads whisper of the sacred syllables that hold the key to transcendence. Even modern quantum physics suggests that observation and intention influence the unfolding of reality at a subatomic level. Chanting, then, is not just an ancient ritual but a timeless method of bringing thoughts into form, aligning one's energy with the greater cosmic design. Chanting is the best way to manifest—when you chant, you manifest your relationship with the ultimate God; when you chant, you connect with cosmic energy with your heart, body, and mind, finding the perfect sync. When you chant, you begin removing the clutter of thoughts, discovering a new pattern in life where you experience fewer negative thoughts and more positive ones—your enthusiasm increases, your passion finds its way, you start to bloom, you find your calling, and you see the truth as it is. You become free from conditioning; chanting cleanses your heart and mind. And when you take care of your body too, you end up cracking the trilemma of life—having a great mind, heart, and body at the same time. Once you crack that, you find real joy, you find yourself, and you meet the ultimate source—whom we know by different names—who lives in all of us. It’s just that we never knew it until we try and walk the journey to meet our master—the master who is behind the screen on which the movie of life is being played, until our last breath.

Sandy Carter had never pictured herself at the vanguard of the Web3 revolution when she was younger. Originally wanting to be a doctor, one day a Duke University lecturer turned her life around. ” Look at programming,” he said. “You can create things that change people’s lives.” Those comments caught Carter’s attention. She chose then to delve into computers and never turned around. Sandy studied computer science, even toward postgraduate degrees. She studied eight computer languages and developed her thesis on how animal drug testing might be replaced by technology. “Technology can save lives, both human and animal,” she stated in an interview. Carter’s career extended beyond academia. She started walking among numerous tech giants, like IBM and Amazon Web Services (AWS), soon after graduating. She oversaw cloud computing and the startup environment at IBM. Turning now to AWS, she assisted in creating an artificial intelligence, blockchain , Internet of Things network of partners. One question, though, persisted in his mind: why is digital identity still so fractured? Why still do third parties control domain names and identities on the internet? Carter finally arrived at Unstoppable Domains from these questions. Carter signed on Unstoppable Domains, a startup seeking to transform how individuals own their digital identities, late in 2021. The blockchain-based domain names provided by Unstoppable Domains can be owned for life, unlike traditional domains that have to be renewed yearly. For Carter, this represents a significant first towards total control for online consumers. “Think of it this way,” he remarked during one conference, “if you own a Web3 domain name, it’s yours always. There is no annual charge; you can use it for everything from crypto addresses to decentralized email; nobody can take it away.” Carter, COO, is in charge of not just daily operations but also strategic alliances development. Introducing the .podcast domain to Web3 developers was one of his key undertakings. For her, it goes beyond business to create a future where digital identity really belongs to the individual. Carter came to see that men still predominate in the IT sector. She thus started Unstoppable Women of Web3, a project aiming at giving women in the blockchain ecosystem chances and knowledge. “We want Web3 to be really inclusive, not only for one particular group,” she stated. She also participates actively in the Girls in Tech group and keeps pushing more women into the industry. For her, the digital revolution has to include everyone—not only those with initial access or knowledge. Carter regards blockchain-based identity as having a bright future on the one hand. Blockchain domains will be used alongside traditional DNS systems, she projects, by 2026. Still, problems abound. ” We have to keep training the market,” she remarked. Many people are still reluctant to migrate to Web3 due to their concern about the technological complexity. But Carter thinks that change is just a question of time, given the correct stance. Carter, now more than ever, still harbors the same enthusiasm as he did when he first fell in love with computers. He wants to be part of the change as well as ensure it goes the correct route. “We’re building something that’s going to last,” he remarks, “and that’s the most challenging and the most exciting thing.” For Sandy Carter, technology is not only about creativity but also about how that creativity may improve quality of life. And he doesn’t appear to be stopping very soon.
