Barrios and Sahin were disappointedSomething seems wrong when you read this question, but after 91 minutes of an, again, great game from our side, we had to face reality. While reality meant that Schalke had not scored one goal, it also meant that we hadn't either. We had about 09 100 per cent chances that actually have to go in, but then again, Schalke had Manuel Neuer. If you have to face the best keeper that has been there for a long time, you may have to accept that you will go out of a game with nil goals scored. But fortunately there were pleasant things on this day as well. Throughout the weeks before the Derby we received various emails from fans from all over the world who would come to Dortmund to see the Derby live. Hungarians, Norwegians, English, Scots and people from Luxembourg. We all met up before and after the game, had a chat, had a beer and talked about Borussia Dortmund and the reception in all over the world. Before we went into the stadium, we took a few pictures and videos and of course everyone knew the chant: shalalala, Scheisse 04!!

Before the game

Since Subotic collected his fifth yellow card in the previous game against Wolfsburg, he had the joy to watch and enjoy the game from one of the stands while "Tele" Santana stepped in next to Mats Hummels. Other than that our coach Jürgen Klopp trusted the same team that had played so well against Wolfsburg.

First half

Kevin Grosskreutz against Metzelder and Co.The mood in the stadium was absolutely amazing, everyone was excited, everyone was right there, chanting along all the time. The signs were good and so the game began. The agitation that spread throughout Schalke's team, management and fans throughout the weeks before, was clearly visible in the game of the players. They were insecure, they lost most of the balls, or in other words: we simply dominated the game. Easily. Traitor Metzelder and his fellow defense had a hard time keeping up to our brilliant offense and so they were lucky that we hadn't achieved a 3-0 lead after only 09 minutes. It was Götze (3.), Kuba (5.) and Hummels (7.) who tried to overcome Manuel Neuer, but, as I mentioned before, he is just not anyone in the goal. He was right on spot, from whichever direction we came. Throughout the next minutes, Dortmund played a fantastic game. We were dominant, we were aggressive, we enjoyed ourselves, it almost felt like we were the Bundesliga and Schalke was some little team from somewhere else who once wanted to play against a big team. They were an absolute mess. No pass-playing was working, they lost every ball in the midfield, they seemed to be behind in every matter. Dortmund on the other hand did what they wanted to do. Until they reached Manuel Neuer. There was just no getting through this guy on that day. Something that Kuba had to witness two more times in the 17th and 21st minute. Furthermore, Neuer was the man of the matchBarrios found his master in Neuer in the 35th minute. Dortmund acted very strong on the right side since Kuba and Piszczek were always striving fast to the front. Schalke's defense had a hard time to keep up to that speed. Only a couple of minutes later, Schalke tried to prove that they were actually existing and playing along by shooting the ball towards the goal from quite a distance. No danger there. It seemed more like a warm summer breeze to Weidenfeller who actually had to move. Shortly after that, the whistle rang. It is difficult to explain the first half of the game. Dortmund was superior in every way you can imagine. It was their game. They ruled the game. But when they got in front of the goal, it seemed like it was either Manuel Neuer or their own unfortunate playing that saved Schalke from falling behind. Even further behind than they already were. In other games, this game could have been over after just one half because we would have scored so many goals.

Second half

Mario Goetze did a good jobDuring the second half of the game, we stepped down from the gas a little bit. Schalke seemed to be a little bit more concentrated now and Dortmund seemed to move a bit too little. It was not like Schalke became the dominant team. They just managed to organize their defense a little bit better. However, in minute 55, our Barrios managed to sneek through and appeared in front of Manuel Neuer's goal. But again, no luck for us. And when it wasn't Neuer who drove us insane, it was the goalpost, that Lucas Barrios hit this time. You almost started to go desperate. It seemed like this was a day where it just wasn't meant to be. On the counter draw, Schalke's Farfan suddenly appeared in front of our goal but missed. It went back and forth now. A few minutes later, in minute 65 of the game, our Bender tried his luck, but again, the monster Manuel Neuer was everywhere. While Schalke's Jurado had one more chance for Schalke (but hey, we got Weidenfeller as well), the last two chances of the game went into our account. First, Lewandowski (came in for Großkreutz) and then our young gun Götze managed to do what all the other before them did. They did not hit the goal. While Lewandowski had to face Neuer again, Götze had actually overcome Neuer. But being all by himself in front of the goal, with the Schalke players a couple of meters further, he only - of course - hit the goalpost. With only one minute of additional time (by the way a joke, since it took Schalke almost 5 minutes to position the ball correctly for a free kick), the game was over way too soon.

Sahin (r.) against HuntelaarIt was a very weird game that day. The positive thing about it? We played fantastically. It was a joy to watch them coordinate through the center of the pitch, watch them running, watch them fighting. There is nothing to complain about. I guess there are these day when you could continue playing for 2 more hours but still won't hit the goal. We found a strong opponent in Manuel Neuer that day. And as much as I hate to admit it, his game is perfect. After the game, someone said to me: If the game today had been called Borussia Dortmund against Manuel Neuer, he would have won. The rest of the silly players of that silly team don't need to be mentioned. They were a joke and a pity. And hey, 4 points out of the derbies is a good result. Next week, we will play in Kaiserslautern. Let's bring those three points home, boys. But some other happy news for today: Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern München both lost today. After all, it seems that this was a good weekend.

BVB: Weidenfeller - Piszczek, Hummels, Felipe Santana, Schmelzer - S. Bender, Sahin - Blaszczykowski (Zidan 89th), M. Götze, Großkreutz (Lewandowski 73rd) - Barrios

Only one point against GEScheisse 04: Neuer - Uchida, Höwedes, Traitor Metzelder, Schmitz - Annan (Papadopoulos 76th), Kluge - Farfan, Jurado (Hao 81st) - Raul, Huntelaar (Draxler 87th)

Hidden gems: 8 beautiful Hubble Space Telescope images you probably haven't seen before © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team

8 beautiful Hubble Space Telescope images you probably haven’t seen before

The Hubble Space Telescope launched 30 years ago on 24 April 1990.

In the 30 years since the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, this iconic feat of engineering has been revealing the wonders of the Universe while building up a library of some of the most shining sights in the cosmos. We’ve taken a look through the archives and collected the best images you’ve probably not seen before.

Veil nebula

Lifting the veil

Stars that reach a violent end and explode in a supernova will often leave behind a scar on the sky – a brightly coloured cloud of gas, known as a supernova remnant. The Veil Nebula is one such remnant, stretching out over 110 light-years.

Hubble took a look at the Veil Nebula back in 1997, only to return in 2015 when this image was taken. In the intervening years, astronauts had visited Hubble using the Space Shuttle and upgraded the main widefield and planetary camera for a second time. The improved resolution revealed the nebula’s delicate gas filaments in a new level of detail.

The original supernova appears to have exploded just 8,000 years ago (practically yesterday in astronomy terms) and is still expanding. In the 18 years between the first and second images, the cloud has grown in size. Astronomers have been able to pick out these changes, helping to understand how such nebulae evolve.

Pismis 24

Pismis 24 is just one cluster of stars in a large nebula, NGC 6357. The entire region is home to many young and growing stars, aka protostars. These grow up in thick dust clouds, which hide them from telescopes that can only view the Universe at visible wavelengths.

“Hubble can be used for UV, visible and some infrared observations. These panchromatic capabilities are incredibly useful for studying everything from Solar System activity to distant galaxies,” explains Jennifer Wiseman, senior project scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope.

Here, Hubble has been able to pierce through the dust, creating a window into where infant stars are born. It was thought the mass of the cluster’s brightest star, Pismis 24-1, was around 300 times that of the Sun, making it the heaviest in the Galaxy. However, Hubble puts it at a far more modest 100 solar masses.

Bubble nebula

Stellar shockwave © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
Stellar Shockwave

Also known as NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula was created by a petulant star, around 45 times the mass of our Sun, throwing out its gas, or stellar wind.

The gas is travelling at around 6.5 million kilometres per hour, and as the resulting cloud expands out, it slams into the surrounding interstellar medium – this is the gas which fills the space between the stars – creating a shock wave. The advancing wave causes the regions it passes through to heat up and glow, producing the bright bubble that gives this nebula its name.

The bubble is lopsided, however, with the star located in the top left. The interstellar medium in this region is much cooler, and therefore denser, making it harder for the gas to expand in that direction.

Herbig-Haro jet

Jet propulsion © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
Jet propulsion

Here, we see a Herbig-Haro jet, which spurts out of some newborn stars. After a star forms, there is usually a disk of gas and dust left around it. Complex interactions between this disk and the star’s magnetic field mean that some of the gas ends up being thrown out at incredibly high speeds.

The shock wave of the gas ripping through the interstellar medium creates this brightly glowing jet, as seen here.

Not only has Hubble’s high precision been able to reveal these jets in greater detail than ever before, we’ve been able to study them as they grow. As the jet moves further out, it hits new knots of gas, causing them to brightly flare up, then fade away over timescales of a few years. This has given astronomers a unique view of the usually invisible interstellar medium.

“Thirty years is not a lot of time in the astronomical realm,” says Jennifer Lotz, director of the Gemini Observatory. “But we now have movies that show ejecta from massive stars. This opens up new ways to understand these phenomena, beyond just an instantaneous snapshot of time.”

NGC 5033

Hot stuff © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
Hot stuff

Spiral galaxy NGC 5033 is much like our own. It’s around the same size, about 100,000 light-years across, and at its core is a supermassive black hole, weighing anywhere between 10 million and a few billion solar masses.

Unlike the Milky Way, however, NGC 5033’s black hole isn’t docile. Instead, it’s surrounded by a swirling disk of gas and dust, moving so rapidly that it superheats. This makes it glow brightly, forming what’s known as an active galactic nucleus.

Read more about black holes:

Over the years, Hubble has found hundreds of supermassive black holes by looking at the motion of dust in the centres of galaxies. If the material is moving rapidly, there must be a black hole holding it in place or it would speed off into the rest of the galaxy.

“Hubble observations of the centres of massive galaxies showed that supermassive black holes lived in the centres of almost every galaxy,” says Lotz. “We now believe that supermassive black holes play a critical role in shaping galaxies.”

The lonely star © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
The lonely star

Before Hubble launched, the only planets we knew about were those in our Solar System. Today, we know of thousands of exoplanets orbiting other stars.

“Hubble has been right at the forefront of studying exoplanets,” says Wiseman. “It’s not a great instrument for finding them – the field of view is too small and it only has a small window for searching the vast sky – but what it can be used to do, is carry out intimately detailed follow-up observations.”

One rare case where Hubble did find a planet was around the star Fomalhaut. The star is surrounded by a ring of dust stretching out to around 20 billion kilometres – that’s three times further out than Pluto.

Such rings are usually created by planets shepherding dust into a specific orbit. Hoping to track down this world, Hubble repeatedly took images of the system over a period of several years. Comparing the images, astronomers found a bright dot slowly moving around the disk. It was a planet, and the first one ever directly imaged in visible light.

Gravitational lensing

Cosmic lens © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
Cosmic lens

Galaxy clusters are one of the most massive objects in the Universe. They are so heavy that they warp the fabric of space-time, to the point that light gets bent as it passes by. Under the right conditions, this bending can act as a lens, magnifying galaxies located billions of light-years behind them, an effect known as gravitational lensing.

In the left-hand picture above, you can see several bright blue galaxies which have been lensed, though the process has distorted them into curved arc shapes. Such images are vital in tracking one of the most mysterious substances in the Universe, dark matter.

Read more about dark matter:

“Most of the matter in a cluster is dark matter,” explains Wiseman. “We don’t know what dark matter is, but through Hubble’s observations of lensing we can tell how it’s distributed and the history of how dark matter evolved throughout the history of the Universe.”

After studying the pattern of distorted galaxies, astronomers have created a map of dark matter within this cluster, shown in the right-hand image, in blue.

Galaxies colliding

When galaxies collide © NASA/Hubble Space Telescope Heritage Team
When galaxies collide

Two galaxies colliding into each other sounds like it should be hazardous, if not fatal, to the objects involved. In reality, it is the main way these stellar collectives grow and evolve. When they crash together, or even just pass close by, the resulting chaos stirs up the gas within them, creating knots of material which go on to form stellar nurseries.

Here, we see two separate galaxies that have recently passed close enough that they’ve pulled each other’s spiral arms out of shape. Hubble’s ultraviolet cameras have been able to pick out regions where hot, young stars are busily forming. These are the bright blue clumps clustered around the galaxies’ distorted arms, where the interaction would create the most turbulence.

Hubble’s unparalleled sharpness and ability to see in the ultraviolet is one of the key ways in which it differs from its Earth-bound counterparts. Our atmosphere soaks up most of the ultraviolet radiation that arrives at our planet, and so Hubble’s view above the atmosphere gives us a unique view of the Universe at these wavelengths of light.

Why are Venus and Mars so different to Earth? © Getty Images

Why are Venus and Mars so different to Earth?

The environment of each planet across our solar system is vastly different to Earth.

Asked by: Simone Walker, London

Venus is closer to the Sun and Mars is further away, but distance alone isn’t enough to account for the different conditions on these planets. The surface temperature on Venus, for example, is higher than on Mercury, even though it receives only 25 per cent as much energy from the Sun.

The explanation can be found in the three planets’ atmospheres. Billions of years ago Venus had water, but being closer to the Sun, most or all of this would have been in the form of vapour. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas, so heat from the Sun gets trapped and the temperature rises. This bakes carbon dioxide out of carbonate rocks, which increases the greenhouse effect and the temperature spirals up.

Mars is only a tenth the mass of Earth and further away. So it struggles to hang onto a thick atmosphere and water is present only as ice. Without greenhouse gases the temperature falls and any carbon dioxide condenses as dry ice, cooling the planet still further.

First ‘Aladdin’ Trailer: Disney Unveils Our First Look at the Live-Action Adaptation

Disney has dropped the first teaser trailer for Aladdin, the upcoming live-action adaptation of the hit 1992 animated film.

While a live-action take on Aladdin is certainly a questionable proposition, considering how great that animated pic remains, this tease is admittedly pretty exciting. That music, that confident design, the nods to the classic film. The first trailer below doesn’t offer up too much, but we do get our first look at Mena Massoud – born in Egypt, raised in Canada, for those playing at home – as the titular street urchin who discovers a wish-granting Genie.

The Genie, by the way, will be played by Will Smith; Naomi Scott (Power Rangers, Terra Nova) will star as Jasmine; Marwan Kenzari (What Happened to Monday, Ben-Hur) will play the villainous Jafar; and Navid Negahban (Homeland, Legion) is the Sultan.

It’s going to be interesting to see how director Guy Ritchie fares here. He’s certainly gone a more studio, crowd-friendly route from his Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch days, with films like Sherlock Holmes and The Man from U.N.C.L.E., but he’s never tackled a Disney film – let alone a musical.

The music will remain a key factor. We’ll be getting the classic hits, plus some additions created by La La Land and The Greatest Showman‘s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul with Disney music maestro Alan Menken. They’re also creating another duet for Aladdin and Jasmine; following “A Whole New World”… no pressure!

Aladdin will arrive in Australia on 23 May and hit the US on 24 May 2019. Just two months before that we’ll be getting Tim Burton’s live-action Dumbo, too.

Official synopsis for Aladdin:

“Aladdin” is the exciting tale of the charming street rat Aladdin, the courageous and self-determined Princess Jasmine and the Genie who may be the key to their future. Directed by Guy Ritchie, who brings his singular flair for fast-paced, visceral action to the fictitious port city of Agrabah, the film is written by John August and Ritchie based on Disney’s “Aladdin.”

“Aladdin” stars Will Smith as the larger-than-life Genie; Mena Massoud as the charming scoundrel Aladdin; Naomi Scott as Jasmine, the beautiful, self-determined princess; Marwan Kenzari as Jafar, the powerful sorcerer; Navid Negahban as the Sultan concerned with his daughter’s future; Nasim Pedrad as Dalia, Princess Jasmine’s free-spirited best friend and confidante; Billy Magnussen as the handsome and arrogant suitor Prince Anders; and Numan Acar as Hakim, Jafar’s right-hand man and captain of the palace guards.

The film is produced by Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich with Marc Platt and Kevin De La Noy serving as executive producers. Alan Menken provides the score, which includes new recordings of the original songs written by Menken and lyricists Howard Ashman and Tim Rice and two new songs written by Menken and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

The film, which was shot on practical stages in London and on location amidst the stunning desert vistas of Jordan, has a talented creative team helping to bring Agrabah to life, including: director of photography Alan Stewart, production designer Gemma Jackson and costume designer Michael Wilkinson.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s president-elect staked out a hard-line position Monday in his first remarks since his landslide election victory, rejecting the possibility of meeting with President Joe Biden or negotiating Tehran’s ballistic missile program and support of regional militias.

The comments by Ebrahim Raisi offered a blunt preview of how Iran might deal with the wider world in the next four years as it enters a new stage in negotiations to resurrect its now-tattered 2015 nuclear deal with global powers.

The news conference in Tehran also marked the first time the judiciary chief found himself confronted on live television about his role in the 1988 mass execution of political prisoners at the end of the Iran-Iraq war. Raisi offered no specific response to that dark chapter in Iranian history, but appeared confident and defiant as he described himself as a “defender of human rights.”

Behind a sea of microphones, mostly from media in Iran and countries home to Tehran-backed militias, Raisi took questions ranging from his views on the nuclear talks to relations with regional rival Saudi Arabia. He appeared nervous at the start of the hourlong session but grew increasingly at ease as he returned to vague campaign themes of promoting Iran’s economic self-sufficiency and combating corruption.

The 60-year-old cleric, a protégé of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, swept nearly 62% of the 28.9 million votes in Friday’s presidential election, which saw the lowest turnout in the Islamic Republic’s history. Millions of Iranians stayed home in defiance of a vote they saw as tipped in Raisi’s favor after a panel under Khamenei disqualified prominent reformist candidates and allies of relatively moderate President Hassan Rouhani. Tehran province had a staggeringly low 34% turnout, roughly half of previous years, with many polling stations noticeably deserted.

Concerning the talks over Iran’s nuclear deal, Raisi promised to salvage the accord to secure relief from U.S. sanctions that have devastated the Iranian economy. But he ruled out any limits to Iran’s missile capabilities and support for regional militias — among other issues viewed by Washington as shortcomings of the landmark deal that the Biden administration wants addressed.

“It’s nonnegotiable,” Raisi said of Iran’s ballistic missile program, adding that the U.S. “is obliged to lift all oppressive sanctions against Iran.”

Tehran’s fleet of attack aircraft largely dates back to before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, forcing Iran to instead invest in missiles as a hedge against its regional Arab neighbors, which have bought billions of dollars in American military hardware over the years. Those missiles, with a self-imposed range limit of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles), can reach across the Mideast and U.S. military bases in the region.

Iran also supports militant groups like Yemen’s Houthi rebels and Lebanon’s Hezbollah to bolster its influence and counter its regional foes.

When asked about a possible meeting with Biden, Raisi curtly answered: “No.” He frowned and stared ahead, without elaborating. His moderate competitor in the election, Abdolnasser Hemmati, had suggested during campaigning that he might be willing to meet Biden.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday the U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with Iran “or any plans to meet at the leader level, so it’s unclear that anything has actually changed on that front.”

She added that Biden views Iran’s “decision leader is the supreme leader. That was the case before the election; it’s the case today; it will be the case probably moving forward.”

Raisi will become the first serving Iranian president sanctioned by the U.S. government even before entering office, in part over his time as the head of Iran’s internationally criticized judiciary — a situation that could complicate state visits and speeches at international forums such as the United Nations.

Raisi’s election vaults hard-liners to top posts across the government as negotiations grind on in Vienna to try to rescue Tehran’s nuclear deal, which lifted sanctions on Iran in exchange for curbs on its atomic program.

In 2018, then-U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the agreement, setting off months of spiraling tensions across the Middle East.

Trump’s decision has, over time, seen Iran abandon every limitation on enrichment. Tehran is now enriching uranium to 60%, its highest level ever, though still short of weapons-grade 90%. Diplomats from parties to the deal returned to their capitals for consultations following the latest round of negotiations Sunday.

With the collapse of the deal, Rouhani and his fellow moderates watched their popularity plummet. Now, the ascendancy of a hard-liner hostile to the West has stoked concerns about the future of the accord and regional stability.

But in his remarks Monday, Raisi emphasized the deal’s importance, describing sanctions relief as “central to our foreign policy” and exhorting the U.S. to “return and implement your commitments.”

On Sunday, months after Iranian officials warned that U.S. sanctions were hampering their ability to procure parts for Iran’s sole nuclear plant at Bushehr, the facility underwent an unexplained emergency shutdown.

Whether Iran and the U.S. will be able to move beyond the deal to discuss further thorny issues remains in question, however.

“No matter the timing, a U.S.-Iran agreement in Vienna leaves unanswered whether the United States can achieve a broader rapprochement with an Iran led by an avowed proponent of the core tenets of Iran’s Islamic Revolution,” the New York-based Soufan Center said in an analysis.

On Saudi Arabia, which has recently started secret talks with Iran in Baghdad over several points of contention, Raisi said that Iran would have “no problem” with a possible reopening of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and that the “restoration of relations faces no barrier.” The embassy shut down in 2016 as relations deteriorated.

Raisi displayed defiance when asked about the 1988 executions, which saw sham retrials of political prisoners, militants and others that would become known as “death commissions.”

After Iran’s then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini accepted a U.N.-brokered cease-fire, members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, heavily armed by Saddam Hussein, stormed across the Iranian border from Iraq in a surprise attack. Iran blunted their assault.

The trials began around that time, with defendants asked to identify themselves. Those who responded “mujahedeen” were sent to their deaths, while others were questioned about their willingness to “clear minefields for the army of the Islamic Republic,” according to a 1990 Amnesty International report. International rights groups estimate that as many as 5,000 people were executed. Raisi served on the commissions.

On Monday, there was no somber tone.

“I am proud of being a defender of human rights and of people’s security and comfort as a prosecutor wherever I was,” Raisi said.

Cipio: European single direct secondaries total €1bn

Longer holding periods have created ‘a pent-up demand’ for liquidity, Cipio says.

The European market in single asset direct secondaries is now worth €1 billion per annum, according to Cipio Partners, a European direct secondaries specialist.

The firm arrived at this total by taking the 60 direct secondaries deals recorded in both 2012 and 2013, which averaged more than €600 million per year in total value, and estimating a further €400 million per year of unreported deals based on its own “confidential private information”.

Cipio said two trends were behind the development of such a sizeable market for buying and selling investments in single companies, as opposed to the portfolios of assets more often associated with directsecondaries transactions.

First, portfolio company holding periods have increased from an average of three to seven years over the last 10 years. “The misalignment of venture capital funds and corporate investment programmes’ investment horizons with this business reality has created a pent-up demand for liquidity,” the firm said.

It added: “The second change is that today there are more mature technology businesses in Europe that already have revenues of €10-100 million or above, yet are still intent on growing further before selling. Minority positions in these more mature technology businesses are being actively traded.”

Most single asset direct secondaries deals averaged below €15 million, Cipio found. Geographically, 85 percent of the transactions involved companies located in France, Germany, Scandinavia and the UK; the typical target company was 11 years old on average and employed fewer than 200 people. Software and internet businesses accounted for around 50 percent of the volume traded.

Cipio, which is led by a seven-strong management team including managing partner Roland Dennert (pictured), closed its Fund VI in January 2011 on €137 million, according to Private Equity International’s Research & Analytics division. The firm has approximately €300 million in assets under management.

Real estate vs. private equity secondaries fundraising

Secondaries fundraising is booming - but there's a gap between asset classes.

Both private equity- and real estate-focused secondaries fundraising are moving towards record levels this year, though a significant gap between the two remains.

Private equity secondaries funds are on track to raise a record amount of capital since 2008. An aggregate total of $15.62 billion was raised during the first half of the year, compared to the $20.42 billion raised during all of 2013. The most capital during the last seven years was the $21.68 billion raised in 2012.

Source: PEI Research & Analytics

Similarly, real estate secondaries funds raised $1.1 billion during the first half, giving the asset class potential to surpass 2010’s record fundraising levels. Real estate secondaries funds raised $1.9 billion that year, but fundraising declined to $1.2 billion and $200 million in 2011 and 2012 respectively. No real estate secondaries funds were raised last year, which also boosts this year’s activity.

Home Security Monitoring in Dayton By ADT Means Up To The Minute Protection

While your security system can tip off your family to an emergency when you are home, it’s the strength of ADT monitoring that delivers the real power to your Dayton home security system. When a sensor is compromised, a live person will implement your personal emergency plan to confirm you're safe and alert the appropriate emergency personnel. This transpires day or night, 24/7. So you can take comfort that someone is monitoring your home -- even when you are away.

How ADT Monitoring In Dayton Works

Think of ADT monitoring in Dayton as a gigantic watchdog for your house, ever primed to leap into action when alerted. Whenever an alarm sensor is activated -- a broken window, an unexpected stirring picked up by an alarm sensor, or a potential fire -- a unique individual will quickly call to ensure you are safe and alarm the appropriate authorities based on your custom-built emergency program. Seconds matter in a crisis, and the quick action of ADT monitoring can be a necessity for your residence and loved ones.

ADT Monitoring In Dayton Works With All Your Home Security Equipment

Dayton security monitoring sign
Dayton Home Security System: When a door, window or motion sensor trips, an ADT security professional promptly gauges the trouble and contacts you to make sure you are safe. Then they reach out to the needed emergency members based on your custom-built security arrangement.

Fire, Flood, and CO Equipment: Your Dayton fire equipment can recognize both smoke and high air temperature. When a rapid lift in heat or extra smoke compromises the alarm, an ADT monitoring expert can help you move to a protected location. They will also reach out to the fire department for you. And because your fire, CO, and flood detectors are hooked up to ADT monitoring, your residence is helped secured -- even when you are not home to listen to the alarms.

Home Health Emergency Response: If you or a loved one experiences a health emergency, like a spill or absence of breath, you might need help. Press a personal rescue button on your digital keypad or remote to connect with an ADT monitoring center. A representative will call emergency authorities and other loved ones on your custom-made security strategy. They will also stay in contact until help arrives.

Two-Way Voice Communications: Two-way voice connects your house in Dayton to ADT monitoring using the wireless control panel. The hands-free microphone can recognize your voice from 75 ft. away, so you can ask for help even if you can’t access the digital keypad.

ADT Monitoring Is The Top In The Security Business

With over 140 years of knowledge, ADT has become a household name in home security monitoring. ADT has a network of redundant stations, which means monitoring systematically shifts to another ADT center when one is shut down because of a power outage or natural disaster. That means your home won’t go without the comfort of a live pro backing up your personal security system.

After the snowfall, the owner is granted a reasonable amount of time to clear the snow and ice and to make a path.

The owner does not have to shovel until the snow stops. For example, if the snow stopped at 9 am and if the victim fell at 9:30 am, it is likely that a court would hold that the owner was not obligated to shovel since a reasonable time did not pass from the end of the storm. However, if the victim fell at 4 pm, many hours after the snow’s end, then the owner could be liable for failing to take reasonable steps to clear a path.

Furthermore, liability on the owner would depend upon the considerations set forth in the article on page 1, “Who is Responsible for the Sidewalk?” If the victim fell in front of a single family home occupied by the owner, then New York City would be liable. However, if the owner does something to cause or contribute to the condition, then the private homeowner can be found liable.

For example, if the building has a drain which drains water to the sidewalk, and the water freezes to ice, then the owner will be liable for causing or contributing an icy sidewalk.

Even where the adjoining property owner would be protected from liability based on the City Code, if the owner had a special use of the sidewalk, then he may be liable. For example, if a one-family home had a driveway, and the use of the driveway caused the ice and snow to be dragged onto the sidewalk by a car, then the one-family homeowner could be liable for a fall in the driveway.

The owner has an ongoing obligation to clean the sidewalk. If the snow melts and the water then freezes, the owner must salt and remove the ice even if this becomes a daily occurrence.

With ice cases, we urge early investigation. In the past we have been able to get to the scene in time to photograph the snow and ice before melting.

(Based on real questions from clients)

Q: I fell on ice on the sidewalk right in front of the entrance of my employer’s office building. My employer is one of many businesses in the building. Who is responsible?

A: The building owner would have the responsibility for keeping the sidewalk clear. Your claim would be against the landlord.

Q: Would I have a case against my employer? I was coming to work.

A: While you would not have a lawsuit against your employer in the courts, in addition to a case against the building owner you may have a workers’ compensation claim against your employer. Your entry and exit into the office building would be covered as a work-related activity even though your employer was not obligated to clear the sidewalk.

Q: I slipped on ice on a sidewalk which was not cleared. It was in front of a two family home. Who is responsible?

A: If the owner occupies one of the units and if the building is solely residential, then the City would be responsible. However, if there is a commercial enterprise in the building, such as a doctor’s office, then the private owner would be liable.

Q: I fell on a sidewalk at the beginning of the storm when there were snow flurries. It appears that there was neither collected snow nor ice which caused my fall. Would I have a case?

A: No. First, the owner has no obligation to shovel during the storm. Second, you must show a dangerous condition that caused you to fall. It appears that neither condition was met.

Q: I fell on ice in the street, i.e., the road. Who is responsible?

A: The City of New York owns the streets, and it would be responsible.

Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment
Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate
Senator for South Australia

8 September 2019

Advancing regional trade and investment opportunities

Following the recording of record export and trade data for Australia last week, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Simon Birmingham will represent Australia at ASEAN-related trade negotiations in Bangkok today and tomorrow.

Minister Birmingham said the talks on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the ASEAN Economic Ministers-Closer Economic Relations consultations were an opportunity to continue to advance Australia’s ambitious trade agenda.

“At a time of increasing global trade tensions, Australia is determined to work with our partners in the Indo-Pacific region to strengthen our trade relationships and provide new export opportunities Australian businesses,” Minister Birmingham said.

“Australia’s export performance is riding high at present but in a competitive world we must continually seek out the next opportunities, which is what I’ll be doing for our farmers and businesses during these negotiations in Bangkok.

“With negotiations to conclude RCEP entering the final phase, we have a real opportunity to move towards a deal that will build new trade and investment links across our region.

“RCEP has the potential to simplify the regional trade and investment environment, better integrate Australian businesses into regional supply chains and improve market access for Australian exporters.

“It will also further strengthen Australia’s relationship with ASEAN at a crucial point in ASEAN’s economic development, whilst at the same time bringing India and China further into our regional trade architecture.”

“Reflecting our Government’s commitment to trade outcomes that grow exports and create more jobs, trade agreements such as RCEP, are a vital part of our plan to ensure that around 90 per cent of Australia’s trade is covered by free trade agreements by 2022.”

RCEP countries account for 10 of Australia’s top 15 trading partners, 61 per cent of Australia’s two-way trade and almost a third of global GDP. No other active trade negotiation brings together parties with the collective economic weight of the ASEANs, China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea and New Zealand.

As an important member of your congregation, you realize how crucial building trusting and open relationships is with the members of your church. The first lesson in Church Marketing 101 is building and retaining relationships. This blog will show you how you do that through SMS.

In our modern age, more and more people are connecting and communicating through digital means, one of the leading methods being SMS messaging. SendHub works with many churches, and so we thought we’d put together church marketing 101 with 10 church promotional ideas using church SMS marketing.

At SendHub, we’ve worked with big and small churches that strive to connect with their members in new, innovative ways that makes sense for the sender, typically the church Pastors, Priests, and Staff, and the recipients, who are the church attendees. Using our simple, automated, and out-of-the-box bulk SMS solution, church leaders and staff can touch base with thousands of individuals with just the click of a button.

Churches often upgrade to custom plans to get access to SendHub’s short code which makes bulk sms easier and more professional. A custom plan could also grant API access allowing their engineers to integrate their existing church marketing software with SendHub. SendHub can get very technical with our API and/or keep it simple with our all inlcusive inbox that allows simple one-on-one and bulk text messaging campaigns.

We’ve compiled 10 church promotional ideas that can be utilized to optimize your church SMS marketing campaign with SendHub. Additionally, ReClaim Church, a SendHub customer since 2014, has agreed to let us share some of their real-life text messages as examples for this article.

Here are 10 SMS Ideas for Church Marketing 101:

1. Send Prayer Requests

Church marketing 101 calls for churches to send prayer requests out and actually get them read. How do you do this? Using text messaging of course.

Your church community leans on each other through thick and thin. When the time comes that a member of your congregation requires a thought or kind word said for them, you can use bulk SMS messaging to kindly send out a request to the other members of your church.

Here is an example text message that Reclaim Church sent out to it’s memebership. We’ve omitted the names of their members in this example:

SMS Prayer Request
You never know when someone is in need of a prayer. Accidents, emergencies, and needs happen at all hours of the day. With SendHub, your member could send in a request for a prayer with a simple text message.

2. Send Scheduled Service Reminders

On a weekly basis, you can choose to send out a scheduled service reminder to members of your church, and in turn, receive any information about patrons who cannot attend that week.

During Easter and Christmas, churches see a lot of people at service. Have the pastor ask everyone to text a keyword, such as “John316” to your SendHub number so they can opt in to your messages. Then, after Easter and Christmas, keep in touch with them by sending them Sunday service reminders.

3. Provide Daily Devotionals to Your Congregation

As a regular attendee and active member of your church, your community looks up to church leaders to help them work their faith into their everyday life. By sending out a daily devotional via SMS, you can provide members with a little reminder of their faith each and every day.

Here’s an example of what your church could send out:

SMS daily devotional.png

4. Give Reminders for Special Events

If your church has a special event going on, such as a family night or summer barbeque, you can send out an SMS message prior to the event acting as a reminder of the community gathering.

church service reminder.png

5. Host Contests for Your Congregation

Want to build up anticipation leading up to your next church service? Create a fun contest for church members. Perhaps for the next service, everyone who wears green will get a special gift. Have fun with your church promotional ideas by creating SMS contests!

6. Message Specialized Church Groups

Within many large churches, there are sub-groups who actively participate in other church-related activities, such as youth groups, men’s clubs, or women’s clubs. With SendHub’s business bulk SMS service, you can organize contacts into specific groups and easily communicate updates with these specialized groups.

Need last minute help in the church nursery? Create group in SendHub with anyone willing to volunteer with kids. Send a text and get a quick response. With SendHub, you’ll fill those slots quickly and efficiently. Here’s an example from ReClaim Church:

Church SMS Marketing

7. Incorporate Texts with Sermons

During the week leading up to a service, some church leaders like to prepare members for their sermons and discussions for the upcoming service. By incorporating texts with your sermons, you can help keep your members thinking about the important aspects of your sermon all week long.

8. Communicate Special Weekly Messages

As mentioned in number 7, incorporating texts with upcoming sermons can help keep faith in the minds of your church members. If you’d prefer to send less frequent updates to your church community, a special weekly message surrounding your sermon will set the pace for the week.

9. Send Emergency Updates or Last Minute Communications

Emergencies happen. If this is the case, SendHub’s bulk SMS services can help you quickly reach the members of your church and communicate any last-minute updates.

10.  Promote Holiday Services

Special holiday services, such as Christmas and Easter may occur at different times than your regularly scheduled service. Make sure that your members know by sending out a couple of SMS reminders surrounding the service so that your entire community can gather and celebrate together.

Whether you have a large congregation, or want a simple and accessible way to contact your entire church community, Church Marketing 101 would state that SendHub’s bulk SMS services can help you manage your communications and your church marketing with ease. At SendHub, we specialize in creating Church SMS marketing campaigns. Want to try us out for free? Start your 14-day trial with SendHub today!

Buying a new home should be a pleasant experience. We’d like to help make it that way by taking the worry out of applying for a mortgage for your new Liverpool, Baldwinsville, North Syracuse or Bridgeport home. That’s why we would like you to take our Home BuyAbility Test. It will help you find out how much home is right for you, so you can feel more comfortable when you apply for your mortgage loan with us.

Select A Mortgage Loan To Fit Your Financial Situation. Before you apply for your mortgage loan, you’ll need to decide which type of loan may be right for you.

  • Conventional Loans have a fixed rate and monthly payment for the entire life of the loan. It’s easy to budget for this type of loan because your payment will always be the same. The rate on a conventional mortgage loan is generally higher than an adjustable rate mortgage.
  • Adjustable Rate Loans usually start with lower rates than conventional loans. We’ll let you know how much the rate can be adjusted over the life of the loan, so you’ll know from the beginning the absolute maximum amount you would ever have to pay. If you will be moving in a few years, or if you think interest rates will be going down, you’ll want to consider an adjustable rate since monthly payments may be lower.

Once you know approximately how much of a mortgage you can afford, use the guide below or our convenient Mortgage Loan Calculator to estimate your monthly payments based on the principal and interest. Closing costs are normally paid in a lump sum at the time you take out the loan. Other annual costs such as taxes and insurance are also not included on the chart, but may be added to your monthly payments.

If you are starting to look for a home, you can complete our convenient digital mortgage pre-qualification form in ten minutes from the comfort of your home computer. A Seneca Savings representative will follow up to assist you further.

Monthly Mortgage Payment Guide

The above rates are for illustrative purposes only. They are based on the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) indicated for principal and simple interest with a term of 30 years. We offer a variety of mortgage plans.

Is Refinancing Right For You? Generally, it’s a good idea for you to consider refinancing whenever the interest rate for mortgages is more than two percentage points below your present mortgage.

Guide To Choosing A Yoga Mat

Yoga Mat Buying Tips

In the ancient times, yogis roamed around India and lived in caves.  During those times, yoga practice, which primarily involved training the body and mind in order to reach enlightenment only required them one thing – their self.

There were no yoga mats, no blocks or bolsters and other fancy trappings we have today. However, the yogis were known to use tiger skin or deer skin as their makeshift mats.

In the modern times, you can easily find a myriad of options when it comes to accessories for your yoga practice. In fact, the simple task of buying yoga mats can turn out to be a bit confusing as there are different varieties to choose from.

Why Buy Yoga Mats?

While yoga practice basically promotes going back to basics and take on a minimalist approach, investing in a good quality yoga mat along with other recommended props actually makes a lot of sense in order to protect the body from potential injuries. This is especially important when practicing yoga for beginners.

Yoga mats are specifically designed to provide cushion between the body and the hard floor surface. It also helps establish your personal space when attending yoga classes. The sight of a rolled up yoga mat can also serve as a good reminder to renew our commitment to practice yoga regularly. However, as mentioned, there are so many options to choose from when it comes to buying yoga mats. Read on and find out the features you will want to consider when choosing one.

1. Eco-Friendly

Typically yoga mats are constructed with PVC and/or latex.  However, among the common issues with regular yoga mats is that many yoga practitioners suffer from latex allergies. There is also the fact that PVC has been closely linked to diseases ranging from asthma to cancer.

Since yoga practice involves close contact with the yoga mat, it is highly recommended to buy yoga mats that are made with sustainably harvested rubber.

2. Weight and Thickness

You should also inspect and take into consideration the weight and thickness of your yoga mat. This is especially important if you constantly travel and will need to carry around your mat. Make sure not to buy overly thin mats as it will not provide you adequate cushion.

3. Style Of Yoga

When buying yoga mats, you should also take into account your style of yoga practice . For instance, you will need a different mat when you practice Bikram yoga in comparison to a gentle, restorative yoga. There are also mats that feature different levels of traction and some are textured to enhance grip. With this in mind, if you are not quite sure what yoga mat to buy for your specific practice, it is generally best to ask your yoga instructor for advice.

4. Sheepskin Rugs

There are also certain types of yoga that do not require you to buy a mat but instead of sheepskin rug, just like in the practice of Kundalini yoga. These are rugs that are popularly used to aid yoga meditation as well as provide cushion for the ankles and knees.

A night of watching…a study of Exodus 12:42

Written by Schalk_and_Elsa. Posted in Pesach, Unleavened Bread

We were in Israel last year with Pesach and just before the first day of Unleavened bread, the discussion of whether or not to keep a vigil on this night came up. Most of the believers in the Jerusalem hostel at the time were of the opinion that we are to stay awake all night, and that it was commanded to do so. This was new to us; we have read the verse they quoted to prove this many times, but we have never really seen it that way. We did a quick study, and their interpretation to stay up seemed to be right so we decided to err on the side of caution and just do it. It turned out to be quite a blessing. We did some Bible study and talked and when the sun stated to rise, we went to sleep for a while.

So, it is almost Pesach again, and we want to do a proper study of the subject to make sure our interpretation is correct, and we do stay up if we are indeed commanded to do so.

Remember and guard the Sabbath!

Written by Schalk_and_Elsa. Posted in Sabbath

We have written a few articles about the Sabbath before, however, circumstances have prompted me to write this to you. Circumstances that were caused by my poor planning and wrong choices. Do you realize how easy it is to compromise? It just kind of happens, and you only notice it when it’s already too late. So, please read this; maybe it will help you not to make the same mistakes.
