St. Paul’s PACE Partners with San Diego Food Bank to Expand Food Access for Seniors
San Diego, Calif. (September 6, 2024) – St. Paul’s PACE – Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly – has partnered with the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank to address food insecurity among PACE participants. The partnership was born from a collaboration between St. Paul’s PACE Dietary, Supportive Housing, and Social Work teams, who joined forces to coordinate additional food resources for low-income PACE participants lacking access to nutritious food.
During a routine Food Bank visit to restock the St. Paul’s PACE food pantry, PACE Diet Technician Myrna Flores Olachea teamed up with Supportive Housing Support Specialist Donna Alley to try something new. Together, they collected 600 pounds of fresh produce to deliver to PACE participants living at the Quality Inn and West Park apartments, St. Paul’s supportive housing partners. The food was distributed in less than one hour. One senior shared, “It’s always hard to afford food at the end of the month, especially with how expensive it is now. I’m usually scrounging at this time, so this helps a lot.”

According to research conducted by the San Diego Hunger Coalition in March 2024, an estimated 172,000 older adults (age 60+) in San Diego County are unable to provide three nutritious meals per day for themselves and/or their families.

“Food insecurity profoundly affects seniors’ health and well-being beyond just hunger,” said Flores Olachea. “Having access to fresh fruits and vegetables can help prevent chronic diseases and even mitigate other health concerns such as depression.”
The success of their efforts led to the decision to implement a monthly delivery schedule. The teams will continue to visit the Food Bank during the last week of each month, when many seniors face shortages in CalFresh/EBT funds, to provide fresh produce and non-perishables to PACE participants living at the Quality Inn and West Park.

“The San Diego Food Bank is excited to welcome St. Paul’s PACE to our network of nonprofit partners, ensuring seniors who participate in PACE’s programs have access to the nutritious food they need to thrive,” said San Diego Food Bank CEO, Casey Castillo. “By working together, we’re not just addressing hunger; we’re nurturing the overall health and well-being of our entire community.”

St. Paul’s PACE is accepting donations of non-perishable food, toiletries, personal hygiene products, and clothing for its annual St. Paul’s Essential Needs Drive (SPEND). The initiative supports low-income PACE participants who struggle to afford items essential for daily living. Visit StPaulSeniors.org/SPEND for more ways to donate.

Quantum Chain: Pioneering the Integration of Quantum Computing in Blockchain Technology
Singapore, 27th Mar 2025, – Just as the internet, after becoming publicly available in the late 1980s, evolved over decades into the technology we rely on today, blockchain has also continued to advance in the 16 years since Bitcoin first emerged in 2009.
Bitcoin is widely regarded as the first-generation cryptocurrency, followed by Ethereum as the second. Today, many coins claim to be third-generation, boasting improvements in speed, security, and smart contract functionality. However, most of them compromise the core philosophy of decentralization. Additionally, since they still rely on traditional computing-based blockchain infrastructure, they continue to face significant challenges in speed and security.
Amid countless efforts to simultaneously address decentralization and speed, South Korea-based blockchain development company Maxpia ICT has achieved a world-first breakthrough. By integrating quantum mechanics principles from quantum computing into block verification, the company has drastically reduced verification time, achieving transaction speeds over 100 times faster than traditional blockchains.
By integrating quantum computing, Quantum Chain employs the Quantum Random Sampling (QRS) algorithm, which selects block verifiers through randomized sampling of unspecified nodes. This enhances security with quantum resistance while simultaneously reinforcing decentralization, speed, scalability, and security. As a result, Quantum Chain stands as the only fourth-generation blockchain to overcome the blockchain trilemma, setting a new industry standard.
With a total supply of 3.5 billion coins and a 3-year halving cycle, Quantum Chain operates on a 100% Proof-of-Work (PoW) model, ensuring that coins can only be acquired through fair mining. Its hybrid mining system, which combines GPU and quantum computing, results in high mining costs, reinforcing its intrinsic value as a premium digital asset.
With its superior speed, security, and decentralization, QuantumChain offers a robust mainnet-based infrastructure, enabling numerous project tokens to operate seamlessly within its network. As a result, it is poised to attract widespread adoption in industries that require reliable blockchain solutions.
Real World Asset (RWA) tokens, which are backed by tangible assets, require a blockchain that enables fast, secure, and cost-effective asset transfers. Quantum Chain is well-positioned to dominate this rapidly growing sector, becoming the preferred blockchain for RWA adoption. The first RWA token on Quantum Chain, NIC, has already been issued, backed by real-world nickel mining assets in Indonesia. In the near future, numerous RWA tokens are expected to launch on Quantum Chain from Dubai.
As the first blockchain company in South Korea to receive venture certification, Maxpia ICT has established itself as the country’s leading blockchain R&D firm, operating its own dedicated research lab. After more than three years of development, Quantum Chain was born. Now, to drive its global expansion, Maxpia ICT has chosen Dubai—one of the fastest-growing cryptocurrency hubs—as its strategic basecamp, launching a full-scale international marketing campaign.
With its mainnet launch event set for May 2025, Quantum Chain will transition to public mining, allowing anyone worldwide to participate. This shift will further decentralize the mining process, expand the ecosystem’s foundation, and reduce social costs in specific regions, positioning Quantum Chain as a sustainable, value-driven blockchain for the long term.
Efforts to tackle unresolved challenges in the digital world—such as human health, natural disasters, climate forecasting, and the mysteries of the universe—continue through the exploration of quantum computing and the quantum realm.
As the world’s first blockchain to integrate quantum mechanics principles from quantum computing, Quantum Chain has now taken its first step into the quantum era.
QuantumChain will continue to expand the applications of quantum computing in blockchain, moving beyond block verification to support token issuance, NFTs, and smart contracts, driving the next stage of blockchain innovation.
In the blockchain sector focused on enabling fast, secure, and cost-effective transfer and storage of real-world asset value, South Korea’s Maxpia ICT aims to drive industry growth by collaborating with numerous projects and advancing blockchain technology.
With growing interest and business participation from Dubai, the U.S., Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China, Quantum Chain is on track to establish itself as a major global blockchain platform.
Blockchain technology began with Bitcoin, but its full potential will be realized through Quantum Chain.

Press Release
Inspired by Two Stranded Astronauts, 17-Year-Old CEO Max Kopp Is Building AI-Powered Sensors to Prevent Future Spaceflight Emergencies
Now, With Astronauts Safely Home, His Mission to Protect Future Crews Gains New Momentum
United States, 27th Mar 2025, –

Blue Bell, PA –In June 2024, two NASA astronauts aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft became stranded on the International Space Station following a critical coolant system failure. Originally scheduled for a brief mission, they remained in orbit for over nine months while NASA and Boeing engineers worked to resolve the issue and ensure their safe return.
On March 18, 2025, at 5:57 p.m. EDT, their capsule finally splashed down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, concluding one of the most closely watched space incidents in recent memory.
For most, the story was a dramatic technical challenge.
For Max Kopp, a 17-year-old scientist and entrepreneur from Pennsylvania, it was deeply personal.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about them,” Max recalls. “They were out there for nearly a year—isolated, vulnerable, and waiting. I remember reading every update and feeling this mix of anxiety and helplessness. What if they hadn’t made it back?”
That moment of helplessness turned into a mission. Inspired by the real dangers astronauts face, Max began developing a system that might one day prevent similar emergencies: a real-time structural sensing network powered by AI and nanotechnology, capable of detecting damage or failure in spacecraft before it becomes critical.
“I may not be Elon Musk. I can’t launch rockets or bring people home from space,” he reflects. “But I kept asking myself: what if I could prevent something like this from happening again?”

(Capiton: An astronaut demonstrates the installation of a flexible nanomaterial sensor panel inside a spacecraft, part of a next-generation structural monitoring system designed to detect stress, cracks, and leaks in real time using AI-powered analytics.)
That question sparked the beginning of his next innovation — a nanotechnology-based, AI-driven structural monitoring system designed to detect spacecraft damage in real time. Already known for founding Vitasense, a medical tech startup developing wearable, noninvasive glucose monitors, Max took his deep expertise in nanomaterials and AI and applied it to a very different but equally urgent problem: how to keep astronauts safe.
Spacecraft are vulnerable to undetected micro-damage, stress fractures, and seal leaks — all of which can have catastrophic consequences. Current spacecraft monitoring systems still rely heavily on manual inspection and ground-based diagnostics. Max’s system uses inkjet-printed nanomaterial sensors, embedded directly into spacecraft structures, to constantly track physical integrity and detect anomalies long before they become dangerous.
These thin, lightweight sensors send live alerts through AI-powered analytics, providing astronauts and mission control with early warnings if something is going wrong — from hull stress to potential leaks.
“This is like a nervous system for spacecraft,” Max explains. “It’s designed to feel things before they break.”
His approach unifies the same core technologies he has applied to his medical research: nanomaterials for sensing, and AI for interpretation. In Vitasense, they are used to help diabetics monitor glucose painlessly and affordably. In space, they might protect a small crew on a long mission from an invisible threat.
“What connects both of these projects is the reason I started them,” he says. “Whether it’s millions of people managing diabetes every day or two astronauts stuck in orbit — I just want to help people live safer, better lives.”
Max’s aerospace project is currently in development and gaining attention from institutional mentors and science competitions. He is preparing to pursue mentorship and collaboration with NASA and other aerospace research labs. In the meantime, his work continues to receive recognition across elite global competitions, including the National Junior Science & Humanities Symposium, the S.-T. Yau High School Science Award, the Conrad Challenge, and the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, where he was named Most Innovative Winner.
Max also leads The Kopp Foundation for Diabetes, his nonprofit dedicated to supporting accessible medical technology and raising public awareness about biosensor research. It’s another example of his interdisciplinary approach to scientific innovation — and his heart-led philosophy.
“When they made it back, I was so relieved,” he says of the astronauts’ return. “But I also thought — what if next time, someone doesn’t make it? What if the difference is just a better sensor, a faster alert, a few more seconds of warning?”
Whether developing wearable tech to transform healthcare or building silent safety systems for deep space, Max Kopp is driven by the same question:
What if I can help? Even in a small way.
