GDCC – A Platform to Redefine Peer-to-Peer Asset Transactions
Marius Bogdan Dinu
Altcoins GDCC Sponsored
GDCC is a blockchain platform that aims to take the peer-to-peer asset transactions concept to the next level. Specifically, it provides better security and facilitates faster transfers of digital assets. In addition, GDCC features an exchange platform, an automated market maker (AMM) pool, staking protocols, yield farming opportunities, and much more.
What Is GDCC?
GDCC is a secure and reliable way to trade digital assets, conduct payments, and enter the Web 3.0 world.
The Global Digital Cluster Coin offers several advantages over traditional payment systems. First, its peer-to-peer network lets users quickly and safely transfer money without intermediaries.
What does GDCC have to offer? We will answer this question section after section.
The Benefits of Using GDCC
The main advantages of using GDCC are:
Low fees: GDCC has a low fee structure for trading and transactions, making it an affordable solution for everyone.
Fast Transactions: The network is optimized to handle large volumes of transactions with almost instant confirmations.
Security: All data is stored in an immutable ledger, ensuring the user's assets are always safe.
Interoperability: The platform is compatible with other blockchain networks, allowing users to move their funds across blockchains easily.
Virtual Machine: GDCC features a virtual machine that allows developers and programmers to build and deploy their applications on the network.
Scalability: The platform's low costs and high speed play a fundamental role in achieving scalability.
We willingly excluded one of the main features of the project, its deflationary profile, from this section. We'll have time to dive deep into it later in our review.
A Large Ecosystem of Features
GDCC's website paints a clear picture when it describes the team's ideal ecosystem for the project. It leverages a wide range of features, such as:
A Decentralized Exchange (or "DEX") where users can trade digital assets.
A cross-blockchain bridge that allows trustless interoperability between different networks.
An Automatic Market Maker (AMM) to ensure continuous liquidity of tokens on the network.
A Staking platform where users can participate in consensus and receive rewards for their contributions.
Yield Farming opportunities that allow users to generate additional income by providing liquidity on the network.
An NFT Marketplace where users can buy and sell unique digital assets with real-world value.
A Metaverse dimension allows people to experience and explore different digital realms.
A blockchain explorer to help users examine the system in a fully transparent manner
These elements build a robust ecosystem that allows people to leverage multiple concepts in the crypto space.
With GDCC's commitment to interoperability and scalability, developers can bring their solutions to fruition without network limitations. This is especially beneficial to businesses that bridge different networks and projects together.
The team unveiled to the public three of their products. Specifically, we can expect a secure DeFi bridge, private transactions, and native token integration. Here are more details about each of them:
DeFi Bridge: Bridges help developers build decentralized applications (dApps) and wallets on the Global Digital Cluster Coin platform. Bridging multiple blockchains is essential to create a vibrant DeFi ecosystem.
Private Transactions: GDCC also offers its users the option of making private and secure transactions. All transactions through Hopium – the platform's DEX – will be untraceable, protecting user privacy and data safety.
Native Token Integration: Last but not least, the team's native token – $GDCC – will be integrated into the platform. This is essential for users to access and use various applications built on the blockchain. Additionally, it will act as a currency for buying and selling goods or services and making payments.
These products can create a more secure, convenient, and conducive ecosystem for developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and users. With them, GDCC aims to revolutionize the blockchain space by delivering a fully functioning platform for users and developers worldwide.
The Launch of Two Tokens
As mentioned above, the project will rely on the $GDCC token to fuel many of its features. However, this is not all. In addition to the $GDCC token, the project launched a second token – the $GUSD token.
If you are familiar with stablecoins, you may already know what the $GUSD token is all about. The $GUSD token is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, meaning its value will remain tied to the USD. This makes it an ideal asset for managing risk and completing payment operations.
Token Burning Mechanism
The main feature you should know about the $GDCC token is that it falls into deflationary tokens. This means that the token will decrease in total supply over time.
This is possible through a token-burning mechanism, operating each time smart contracts collect a transaction fee on the platform. However, half of this collected gas will enter an automatic burning mechanism, which will become permanently inaccessible and removed from circulation.
This process reduces the total supply of tokens in the system and directly affects the token's price. Therefore, as the total supply becomes scarcer, demand should increase in token value.
The burning mechanism runs automatically through smart contracts programmed into the protocol. Every transaction will automatically execute and enter the blockchain's decentralized ledger.
The GDCC burn mechanism affects the coin's inflation rate, as a percentage of each transaction will exit circulation. This ensures that users can confidently make transactions, knowing that a deflationary currency backs their investments.
This deflationary element helps to maintain stability within the platform. This is because it may reduce volatility's impact and helps keep prices stable.
What Does GDCC Roadmap Tell Us?
The project's website lists six milestones for the GDCC platform. First, we find the launch of its so-called "featherweight" architecture. This aims to maximize performance while minimizing resources consumed.
The roadmap also promises to bring robustness to GDCC's network by introducing smart contracts. This will help ensure that all transactions between users remain secure and reliable.
High compatibility represents another milestone listed in GDCC's roadmap. This will allow developers to use the platform to deploy and execute smart contracts through the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine).
No current project can succeed without cross-chain features, another milestone in GDCC's roadmap. The move allows users to make transactions across different blockchains with ease.
Finally, combining low costs and high-speed transactions will help GDCC stay competitive in the rapidly growing blockchain field. These features are fundamental for any project aiming to achieve scalability in the blockchain sector.
Bottom Line – Redefining Peer-to-Peer Asset Transaction
The GDCC project is an ambitious undertaking that seeks to redefine how we make peer-to-peer asset transactions. Its combination of deflationary tokens and cross-chain features makes it particularly appealing for developers and users alike.
GDCC's website and social media platforms represent a good starting point for learning more about the project. They offer a comprehensive insight into the platform's ecosystem, making it easier for newcomers to understand how GDCC works.

Liam, Please learn to use volume leveling
Sound quality is sub par. Having to turn up volume then down every couple minutes is a deal breaker. Narrator needs to learn about compression/limiter/leveling.

Great story, but very hard to hear
This author has a wonderful imagination, but his scientific background doesn't really exist. For example, events that occur in a Galaxy 100's of light years away are somehow visible as they occur, rather than hundreds of years after they occur. But that's not what really bothered me about this particular story. I'm quite happy to suspend belief in order to better enjoy as I listen. My problem was that it was so very difficult to hear the dialogue because the volume went up and down without any warning.

Huge meteor with a 'trail of flames' lights up the night sky over the UK
A huge 'multi-coloured' meteor streaked over the sky above millions of Britons last night – coinciding with a historic space launch in Cornwall.
Stargazers across England were left dumbfounded by the impressive natural phenomenon, which lit up the night sky on Monday.
The blazing fireball was spotted soaring over London, Sussex, Wilshire, Hampshire, Dorset and Devon – with some as far north as Wolverhampton, near Birmingham, reportedly seeing it.
The meteor was first seen shortly after 8pm, the Met Office said. Amazing video footage shows the shooting star erupting into a ball of flames as it burnt up in the atmosphere.
DID YOU FILM THE METEOR EMAIL TOM.COTTERILL@MAILONLINE.CO.UK
The stunning shooting star was spotted across England as it burnt up in the night sky. This security camera in Wolverhampton captured the moment it soared over the city
The Met Office tweeted: 'Reports of a meteor in the sky over the UK just now. If you managed to take any footage we'd love to see it'.
People took to social media to post footage they'd captured of the rare event – many on video doorbells or home CCTV systems.
One skygazer in Bristol captured the meteor on a Nest CCTV camera at around 8.01pm – as it headed east.
The meteor was so bright it startled stargazer Sophie Green – who feared the 'world was ending'.
'I saw it over Balham south London. Bright orange, so low, honestly thought it was a firework initially then I thought 'the world is ending'. Grateful to have seen it,' she tweeted.
The huge meteor was first spotted shortly after 8pm on Monday evening, with people nationwide sharing clips from their doorbell cameras
The stunning natural phenomenon lit up the night sky across England with its huge fiery tail
In one video, the meteor can be seen streaking through the sky, passing over a plane as it burns up in the atmosphere.
One woman from Chippenham, Wilts., said: 'I couldn't believe it. I was standing outside waiting for a lift to work when the sky lit up.
'A bright orange ball flew through the sky – it was incredible.'
Another person said: 'It wasn't just a shooting star, it was orange in the sky!!'
One Twitter user said they saw a 'huge white ball, red surround, long trail of shooting stars type tail', adding that she 'couldn't believe my eyes. Beautiful.'
Elsewhere, one woman said she 'had just turned my computer off and looked up out of the window' before spotting an object streaking across the sky, adding: 'It was perfect timing.'
Sightings poured in from across London, Hertfordshire and Wolverhampton, among others.
Laura, who did not wish to give her surname, from Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire, caught the flying object on camera at around 8pm from her front room.
Her video showed a light streaking through the sky above a residential area for just under 10 seconds before disappearing from view.
She told the PA news agency: 'I had just turned my computer off and looked up out of the window, it was perfect timing.
'It wasn't like a shooting star I have seen in the past. It seemed overwhelmingly close.
'It was large in the sky, orange with an orange blaze behind it, not what I would describe as a long shooting star tail but a shorter orange one.
'Then it just disappeared… Popped out of the sky. It seemed like it hadn't really happened. I tried to tell my husband but they didn't quite believe my account!'
Sightings were reported from London to Devon and up to Birmingham. Footage of the meteor showed it blazing through the atmosphere for several seconds before disappearing
The meteor was recorded by the Sheffield weather camera as it passed above the city on Monday evening
A Met Office spokesman told PA the time of day and clear skies contributed to the quality of the sightings.
The spectacular natural phenomenon comes on the same night a modified Virgin Boeing 747 took off from Newquay Airport, with a 21m LauncherOne rocket attached to its wing.
But the Virgin Orbit mission to deploy satellites into space failed after an 'anomaly' prevented the rocket from reaching its destination height.
In chaotic scenes the team behind the ambitious first UK launch announced they had succeeded in reaching orbit. But then moments later they said an 'anomaly' had actually stopped the LauncherOne getting far enough into space.
It was thought history would be made in the UK on Monday night as the first-ever orbital space launch took off from Cornwall just after 10pm.
British astronaut Tim Peake branded the mission's outcome as 'disappointing' and said: 'Getting to space is hard and valuable lessons will be learned.'
History was made in the UK on Monday night when a repurposed 747 jumbo jet – named Cosmic Girl by Virgin (pictured) – took off from Newquay Airport in Cornwall
The rocket was successfully released from the jumbo jet at 35,000 feet (around 10,000 meters) over the Atlantic Ocean to the south of Ireland at 11.10pm
But Virgin Orbit announced the rocket failed to reach its destination height on Monday night. Officials are pictured sharing the devastating news
British astronaut Tim Peake branded the mission's outcome as 'disappointing' and said: 'Getting to space is hard and valuable lessons will be learned'
Matt Archer, from the UK Space Agency, said the second stage of the launch suffered an 'anomaly', the cause of which was under investigation.
'In effect the rocket has not reached the required altitude to maintain its orbit or deploy the satellites and therefore the mission was unsuccessful,' he told reporters at Spaceport Cornwall.
'Over the coming days, there will be an investigation involving the Government and various bodies, including Virgin Orbit, to make sure we understand what caused that technical failure and again we'll work out what to do next following that.
A repurposed 747 jumbo jet – named Cosmic Girl by Virgin – took off from Newquay Airport at 10.02pm on Monday, after all the commercial flights had ended.
Viewers whooped and danced to Start Me Up by the Rolling Stones as the jet took off, with people climbing onto each other shoulders to see the launch.
Named in tribute to the Stones' 1981 hit, the mission involves a repurposed Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 and Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne rocket.
The 747, dubbed Cosmic Girl, took off horizontally from the new facility while carrying the rocket under a wing.

The rocket was successfully released from the jumbo jet at 11.10pm over the Atlantic Ocean to the south of Ireland at 35,000 feet (around 10,000 meters).
The rocket was carrying nine small satellites meant for UK defence monitoring, while others were for businesses such as those working in navigational technology.
In a series of tweets, Virgin Orbit said: 'We appear to have an anomaly that has prevented us from reaching orbit. We are evaluating the information.
'As we find out more, we're removing our previous tweet about reaching orbit. We'll share more info when we can.'
Melissa Thorpe, head of Spaceport Cornwall, told reporters: 'I'm not going to lie, it's gutting – we all heard at different times, so once we all got together, there were tears, and it was very upsetting.'
She said: 'I'm absolutely devastated.'

Q: How do i get a variable by concatenating? I understand there are topics which discuss concatenation.
However, i don't seem to figure out what's wrong with this
 $LEVEL0 = "Banned";
 $LEVEL1 = "Member";
 $LEVEL2 = "Subscriber";
 $Level =  "LEVEL".$userRow['user_level'];

 echo($Level);

It would always just echo the number stored in $userRow['user_level']
rather than echo the value of the variable itself.

A: Use Variable variables.
$LEVEL0 = "Banned";
$LEVEL1 = "Member";
$LEVEL2 = "Subscriber";
$Level =  "LEVEL" . $userRow['user_level'];

echo $$Level;

A: I think you are looking for this:
$LEVEL = array("Banned","Member","Subscriber");

$Levelval = $LEVEL[$userRow['user_level']];

echo $Levelval;

Abuse lawyer welcomes sex-assault priest's guilty plea
by	Peter Garsden	/ Wednesday, 10 July 2013	/ Published in Religious Abuse
Leading abuse lawyer Paul Durkin has welcomed the guilty plea of a catholic priest from Kent. Father Frederick McLennan pleaded guilty to a sex assault against a man from the north east of England when he was just a boy of 13. Mr Durkin is representing the father of two in his claim for compensation against the Catholic Church, which employed Father McLennan in the 1980s.
The abuse took place at St Simon's StockChurch, Chatham in Kent, in 1988 when the 13 year old was an altar boy. It continued until the boy reported it to another priest within the church. The abuse was never reported to the authorities, and Father McLennan went on to other posts within the church.
The 69 year old priest has already served a prison sentence after being jailed in 2009 for molesting other young boys almost 25 years before. At the trial in 2009, the trained medical nurse admitted three indecent assaults on boys dating back to the mid 1980s when he was working as an assistant priest at St Augustine's Catholic Church in Tunbridge Wells.
Paul Durkin, whose firm Simpson Millar has represented a number of victims abused by the church, said: "We are tired of the litigious attitude of the Catholic Church in compensation claims. It's time the church stood up and took responsibility for the actions of their priests. Along with my colleagues, I am calling for the Catholic Church to stop the concealment of evidence of child abusing priests, which only serves to prolong the inevitable suffering the victims have to endure. My client is understandably relieved that his abuser has pleaded guilty and that he has finally been believed. "
In 2012 the firm of solicitors called for a public inquiry into alleged abuse within church organisations in England and Wales, when along with other abuse solicitors nationwide, they criticised both the Catholic Church and the Church of England for their 'lack of transparency' and their 'culture of cover-up.' The campaign continues and has received nationwide support from survivor groups such as Ministry and Clergy Sexual Abuse Survivors (MACSAS).
McLennan had convictions for gross indecency in 1973, 1977 and 1989, involving offences in public lavatories with men, but escaped jail. He awaits sentencing.

Ural federal university: Chemists Create New Organic Materials for Lasers and Ultrathin Screens
International NewsUniversity News
By iednewsdesk	 On Jan 21, 2021
Chemists of the Ural Federal University and the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have synthesized new organic compounds that can be used in lasers and ultrathin screens. Together with physicists from Tomsk State University, scientists have constructed a prototype of an ultra-high resolution screen on the basis of these substances. The research was supported financially by the Russian Science Foundation.
More details on the work can be found in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology A: Chemistry.
White light is a stream of electromagnetic waves with different energies: the shorter the wavelength, the higher the light energy. We see this world colored in all the colors of the rainbow due to substances that absorb, reflect and emit light with a certain energy. The molecular structure of the material of which an object is composed determines its interaction with light. Modern chemists are able to predict exactly how this will happen.
In addition to reflection and absorption, some compounds are capable of emitting light, or luminescence, under certain conditions. The molecules of such substances, after absorbing energy, convert it into radiation. In the early 1950s, French scientists discovered a special type of substance that can do this using electricity. Devices developed on the basis of this phenomenon are called organic light-emitting diodes. They are used to create displays in which you can customize each pixel separately. Such screens are capable of providing a higher resolution for image transmission than liquid crystal screens. Due to the fact that the pixels are supplied not with light, but with electricity, black pixels remain black and adjacent dots do not light up each other. OLED displays are also better at rendering color depth.
Russian chemists have synthesized two new compounds, which, in accordance with their structure and properties, are organic dyes. The molecules of the obtained substances contain nitrogen and sulfur atoms in the composition of closed pentagonal and hexagonal cycles, connected in a certain sequence. It is a special structure, that is, the mutual arrangement of atoms in molecules, that determines the most effective absorption and redistribution of energy. Both substances turned out to be capable of stable fluorescence (a special case of luminescence) in the temperature range from -196 to 20 ° C. Molecular structure plays an important role in the creation of dyes. The glow brightness of the obtained LEDs is determined not only by the thickness of the organic layer, but also by differences in the structure of molecules: the radiation of one of the substances when the same potential value was applied was three times more intense.
In addition to creating displays, the resulting organic dyes can be used to create lasers. An electrical impulse causes an avalanche reaction in the solution, which results in the generation of a beam of light with a specific wavelength. Usually, lasers use complex crystals or gases that operate in a narrow range of emitted light. With the help of the obtained dyes, sources are obtained in which, under certain conditions, it is possible to switch the color of the beam by varying the applied voltage.
"The dyes we have obtained are the result of many years of research in the field of chemistry of nitrogen-containing organic molecules. By working together with colleagues from other fields, we are unlocking the potential of these substances. The introduction of organic materials is the basis for the development of technologies that will become less energy-consuming and more productive in comparison with those based on the use of inorganic compounds," explained Dr. Gennady Rusinov, associate professor of the Department of Organic Synthesis of the Ural Federal University.

Adrian lists out priorities in search of first clean sheet for Liverpool
Liverpool's stand-in goalkeeper Adrian has had a surprisingly busy start to life at the Reds, but is still looking for a first clean sheet.
While the Spanish stopper might have been expected to watch on and bide his time for a debut, perhaps in the League Cup next month, it has actually been the complete opposite.
An Alisson injury means that Adrian will face Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, playing his fifth game for Liverpool already.
One trophy is in the bag, thanks to the UEFA Super Cup, but he also impressed against Arsenal before a late consolation goal denied him, and the rest of the defence, a first shut-out.
Speaking to the club website ahead of the short trip to the Clarets, the No. 13 made it clear they all want that feeling of no-goals-against across the 90 minutes—but there's a bigger priority.
"A clean sheet for the 'keeper and the defenders means a lot," he said.
"Obviously we want to win the three points, that's the most important [thing]. But the second-most important thing is to keep a clean sheet. We didn't get it at the moment."
There's reason to expect that first clean sheet will follow, though. The Reds' performances have improved game on game, with the win against Arsenal last time out the most complete showing thus far.
Adrian knows it's a different challenge this weekend, but has his eyes on the prize as well as the points.
"We are improving game by game. The last game against Arsenal we did really well, we played 70 to 75 minutes at great intensity so Arsenal didn't have any chance to win the game.
"We go to a different kind of game at Burnley's pitch; a different size and a different style of play of them. But we are preparing well for the game and we go there to get three points – and hopefully to get the first clean sheet."
A clean sheet and a win sounds like the perfect way to head off into the international break with—and as well as already being a trophy-winner with the Reds, it would mean Adrian is part of a record-breaking team.
Four wins to start the Premier League season would be a new record for Liverpool, and 13 wins on the spin, spanning back to last season, would be another.
A big test is ahead and a first shut-out would go a long way toward helping reach those lofty targets.

LeBron James Makes More History in Cavs' Game 4 Win Over Boston
Needing a win for his team to even the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James produced another historic performance in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics.
By Stone Lexington

LeBron James was in a class of his own on Monday.
LeBron James knows how to pack a house, which isn't surprising considering his resume — frequently graces the covers of magazines and homepages of popular websites, spends his days as a family man and business mogul while moonlighting as the NBA's best player, champion, multiple-time league and Finals MVP, been known to carry his team on his back with the strength of Marvel's Hulk.
When James laces up his sneakers in Quicken Loans Arena, the forum in his native Northeast Ohio where he performs his artistry, locals and visitors from abroad fill the arena located in Cleveland's downtown metropolitan area. Where James plays basketball, people flock to like Angry Birds to little green pigs, which helped the Cavs set a franchise record Monday night with their 200th consecutive sellout at The Q (regular season and playoffs).
Dating back to the start of the sellout streak and entering Monday night's pivotal Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, James and the Cavs held a 152-47 record at home. Yet, finding a way to win on Monday was Cleveland's latest important mission, as they trailed the boys from Beantown 2-1 in the series.
You couldn't blame Cavs fans if they were fidgety and tore through a couple fingernails on Monday night, as the Cavs had plenty of opportunities throughout the evening to put the Celtics away. The scrappy and youthful bunch fought back every time Cleveland secured a large lead, but to no avail in the end, as the Cavs held on for a 111-102 victory to even the East Finals at two games apiece.
"Obviously, we were a lot better defensively, flying around, making them take contested shots and making them make the extra pass and still being able to fly around," James said of the difference with his team from the two losses in Boston to the two wins in Cleveland. "Our communication level has been up, obviously, in the last two games.
"As loud as it is in The Garden, we got to be able to transfer that energy and that communication into Game 5 in order for us to be better than we were in Game 1 and 2."
The Cavs needed another heroic performance from James to hold off the Celtics in Game 4, and he didn't fail to deliver. His 44 points were a game-high, while he also made a staggering 17 of his 28 field goal attempts. Speaking of James' field goals, he etched his name in another part of the NBA's history book on Monday. With his sixth field goal, James passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (2,356 FGM) as the NBA's all-time postseason leader in field goals made.
"Anytime I'm in the same breath with the greats, it's just humbling," James said. "To know where I come from, a small city 35 miles south of here, to hear I'm in the same category or talked about jumping these greats in the playoffs, it's like I was a kid and I watched the playoffs so much and I was like I'd love to be a part of that, that moment, that atmosphere.
"I think it's pretty cool, scoring and field goals made, and for a kid that really don't care much about scoring."
While that feat is incredible to fathom, considering James' age (33) and that he likely has plenty more playoff games in his future, his biggest buckets of the night came in the fourth quarter. As the Celtics made one of their late runs, James converted a layup with 3:39 to play that put Cleveland back up double digits, 104-93. His back-breaking three-pointer less than two minutes later put the Cavs up 109-95 and essentially iced the game.
"I thought we got a little stagnant in that fourth quarter, but we wanted to go LeBron in that fourth quarter, set the tone when he came back in," Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said.
The Cavs are attempting to do something they've only done twice in franchise playoff history, overcome an 0-2 deficit. The last time they accomplished the task was the 2016 NBA Finals in their epic comeback over the Golden State to win the franchise's first title. Monday's game slightly paled in comparison to the magnitude of that series with the Warriors, but Cleveland knew how important it was to get off to a good start.
The Cavs trailed Boston 10-9 with roughly eight minutes to play in the first quarter after Celtics point guard Terry Rozier pulled-up and sank an 18-foot jumper. However, Cavs center Tristan Thompson converted a layup on Cleveland's next possession to regain the lead, and the team never looked back.
The Cavs closed the first quarter with a 25-8 run to take a 34-18 lead when period ended. Cleveland led 68-53 at halftime, and Boston never came within a seven-point deficit the rest of the way.
"He's the best player in the game at evaluating the court and figuring out what he wants and where he wants it," Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said of James. The thing about it is that you just have to battle.
"You just have to make it as hard as possible, because he's going to find a matchup that he ultimately wants."
James and the Cavs moved to 7-1 at home in the playoffs, and a few of his teammates contributed to the cause on Monday. Thompson's night stood out the most among the other Cavs, as the big man totaled 13 points and 12 rebounds. George Hill chipped-in 13 points, while Kyle Korver (14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks) may have had his best game of the season on the defensive end of the floor.
All five Celtics starters scored in double-figures, but only three players from Boston's bench saw playing time and none scored more than eight points.
The Cavs handled their business by winning the last two games at home, but they still have to do something no team has done in the playoffs this year: win a game in Boston. Yet, as he's attempting to reach his eighth straight NBA Finals, all eyes are once again on James.

Almost 60% of home owners expect the value of their homes to fall in the next three months, according to a new survey from the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia and BankWest.
The survey of more than 700 homeowners also found that almost of quarter of respondents believed the price of their home had fallen in the last six months.
Pessimism was highest in Western Australia, where almost 70% of respondents expect their home will fall in price in the March quarter and 53.3% believe their house lost value in the last six months.
Victoria was the second most pessimistic state, with 63% of respondents expecting a fall, followed by NSW with 58 .9% and Queensland with 54.5%. South Australians remain relatively upbeat, with just 7% of respondents saying their home had lost value in the last six months.
The chief executive of the MFAA, Phil Naylor, says the result is the most pessimistic since the survey began in June 2006.
But he remains hopeful that the subdued market could convince bargain hunters – and particularly first home buyers – back into the market.
"The expected decline in prices will help address the chronic problem of housing being unaffordable for a lot of Australians, and first time buyers are likely to be enticed back into the market," he says.
There are already tentative signs that first home buyers are getting more interested, thanks in no small part to plunging interest rates and the expanded first home owners grant – the survey showed 50.5% of potential first time buyers and 45.8% of all respondents believe this is a good time to buy.
The survey has also suggested that households may not be doing it as tough as many believe, with 76% of mortgagees reporting they are "easily" meeting their mortgage repayments.
On top of this, the proportion of respondents likely to borrow actually increased from 15.6% in April 2008 to just over 18%.
"This survey has produced a lot of key markers that would indicate that the financial situation of the average Australian is not as dire as is being portrayed or is generally understood," Naylor says.

Watch generates trash and garbage that need attention on a regular basis to keep up cleanliness, safe practices in the workplace or home. Getting the proper equipment relates to waste management just like it will to other parts of successful business operations. Whenever a business supplies its employees and customers with comfortable access to waste containers, overall upkeep of the dwelling is created easier and buildings stay cleaner and neater. Nothing says sloppy like overflowing zbiranje odpadkov inside or outside of your building. You should purchase not just the right size cans and bins, but in addition an ample amount of such containers.
Garbage bins ought to be covered in order to avoid invasion by pests and insects, and reduce odor. Specialized can liners helps control leakage and odors. The garbage, if left loose and uncovered, can also create a fire hazard if scattered materials like paper can fly out in the cans and around the area. With the availability of many sizes, shapes and kinds of garbage bins and trash bins, there is no need to not provide enough waste containers for any building or property.
Trash and garbage containers are manufactured from sturdy materials like metal, plastic, wood or any other metals. Many are camouflaged with decorative stone materials and exterior coverings so they really fit unobtrusively but effectively into exterior landscaping. Cans and bins were created and designed for use indoors and outdoors, each with strength to match their use. For simple handling, some larger cans and bins come with rollers, wheels, or dollies, and special tops. Tops are flip tops, removable tops, circular, square, rectangular, or vented for options.

The location of medical waste requires special containment efforts. Safe disposal of possibly damaging medical waste and supplies have to be completed in line with current safety recommendations including using safe disposal containers. Which means that used syringes, blood bags, used paper products, and items like sanitary napkins needs to be placed in containers that are specially engineered to hold medical waste elements.
Another newer trash area that requires special containment is recycling. Blue recycling containers are often seen and are used, particularly when set close to regular trash bins. This placement alone can boost the implementation of recycling programs in a business.
Trash and garbage bins and cans, effectively placed around a structure or home, are the first step toward safe material handling and building maintenance. Make cleaning and janitorial speed up and easier when you purchase the correct waste containment systems and materials today.

Trude Lash, formerly Gertrude Pratt, née Wenzel (June 1908 – 4 February 2004) was a personal close friend of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and KGB operative, secretary of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, was active in may prominent liberal causes and a founder of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute at the FDR Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York.
Trude Lash was born in June 1908 in Freiburg, Germany. She taught kindergarten while attending the University of Heidelberg and studying journalism. In 1930 she earned a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Freiburg. Thereafter she emigrated to the United States and taught German literature and philosophy at Hunter College, and continued research at Columbia University.
Trude Lash joined the International Student Service (ISS), and returned to her homeland. In Germany she worked for a newspaper at the time of the National Socialist accession to power, and was critical of the new régime. Together with her first husband, Eliot Pratt, moved to the United States permanently, and assisted other refugees leaving seeking to leave Germany.
Trude succeeded Joseph Lash as general-secretary of the ISS. Joseph Lash was investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee, and became good friends with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Joe Lash worked closely with Molly Yard. Joe Lash and Yard were prominent members of the Popular Front and staunch fellow travelers of the Communist bloc. After divorcing her first husband, Trude and Joseph Lash were married in 1944.
A Venona decryption from May 1943 discloses contact with Trude was maintained by Aleksej Sokirkin, First Secretary of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C. for Soviet intelligence. The decrypt proposes using Trude to process information on Eleanor Roosevelt (Kapitansha). It also suggests bringing Elizabeth Zarubina, who handled many high-level important cases, into close touch with her.
Trude Lash served with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt on the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations. At that time Lash also served as Executive Director of the Citizens Committee for Children of New York and the Foundation for Child Development.
In 1987 Lash helped to combine the separate Eleanor Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt institutions into a single entity, the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI). The Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, founded in 1972, built the Eleanor Roosevelt wing of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park, New York. The Roosevelt Institute is a nonprofit partner of the FDR library and supports the Library's exhibits and programs.

NEW YORK — Call it the final frontier of mail: To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic science-fiction series "Star Trek," the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a new set of Forever stamps Friday (Sept. 2).
The new stamps were revealed just ahead of the Sept. 8 anniversary of the show's debut episode in 1966. A first-day-of-issue ceremony for the stamps kicked off the beginning of Star Trek: Mission New York, a three-day-long celebration happening at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
Four different colorful designs are included on the stamp sheet, including the show's starship Enterprise, a Starfleet insignia, Spock's famous Vulcan salute and a crewmember beaming away via the show's transporter technology. [See more photos of the new Trek stamps]
"For more than 50 years, 'Star Trek' has entertained us, engaged us and taken us on a tremendous journey, inspiring optimism and a better understanding of the American psyche," Megan J. Brennan, postmaster general and CEO of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), said during the ceremony.

Other speakers at the ceremony included actor and humanitarian Walter Koenig, who played USS Enterprise Navigation Officer Pavel Chekov in the original series, and Michelle Thaller, NASA's deputy director of science communication.
"I'm so old, I remember when you had to use your tongue to mail a letter," Koenig said, according to StarTrek.com. "I've always liked seeing the word 'Forever' on a stamp. It says to me we'll still be around, and for a long, long time."
The new stamps were designed by artists Jason Kernevich and Dustin Summers. "Our process was to create imagery that speaks to the iconic quality of the 'Star Trek' series and its vast visual language, as well as alludes to the aesthetic of 1960s science fiction," the artists said in a statement on StarTrek.com.
The stamps can be purchased in USPS officesor online here.
Because they are Forever stamps, they will "live long and prosper," and will always be valid for mailing First Class letters, regardless of the current postal rate.
