SUNNYSLOPE MANSION, Hunts Point
by Kevin Walsh February 8, 2014
Most of the grand Hunts Point, Bronx, estates disappeared in the early 20th Century. Peter Hoe's magnificent Sunnyslope on Faile Street and Lafayette Avenue, a Gothic Revival extravaganza built in 1860, is still standing. The Hoe family business was printing; Peter's brother, Colonel Richard Hoe, invented the rotary printing press. The Hoe family was revered enough that in 1897, a series of streets in Longwood cut through Richard Hoe's estate, Brightside, was named for them: Hoe Avenue, Aldus Street and Guttenberg Street. The most famous name, Guttenberg, was renamed East 165th; Aldus Street is named for 16th Century Venetian printer Aldus Manutius. Aldus, an early name in computer printing software, sold its Pagemaker program to Adobe, Inc. in the 1990s.
Sunnyslope was originally built on land belonging to William Gilbert. Its asymmetrical graystone construction is said to be derivative of some of the houses and cottages Calvert Vaux, co-architect of Central and Prospect Park, was producing at the time it was built. It became a synagogue in 1919 and most recently has been the home of African Methodist Episcopal Bright Temple.

When I first saw the picture of the structure, it's Gothic Revival architecture never made me think the building was ever built for any purpose other than a church. Interesting article. I would love to see eary photos of the building when it was a residence in a rural setting. Out of curiousity, I checked an 1872 J.B. Beers Atlas of Westchester County and located "Sunnyslope" in the Town of West Farms on Hunts Point Road, part of a 15 acre estate owned by W.W. Gilbert. It was very close to the platted Village of Morrisania (which was just to it's west), which in two years time, (in1874), would be annexed to the City of New York, along with the entire Bronx west of the Bronx River. The Bronx east of the Bronx River would remain part of Westchester County until annexations in 1895 and the final annexation of 1898, with the consolidation of Greater New York. By 1885, the street grid ecompassed Hunts Point (according to Robinson's Atlas of New York City)apparently signalling the end of Hunt's Point and West Farms former rural nature.

Back in the 1940s &1950s this building served as Temple Beth Elohim which served the Jewish population as a synagogue.

Beautiful building — although that ten foot cyclone fence (topped with what appears to be razor wire) would certainly make the architect roll over in his grave.

My husband is stepson to the late Arthur James Hoe and this property was formerly owned by his relative, Peter Hoe. Cousin to Peter were Richard March Hoe and Robert Hoe's whose contribution to the arts and science is notable in that they were responsible for fastest printing press known at the time. The expression "hot of the press" is derived from the Hoe rotary printing press. The NYC mansion of Robert March Hoe at 11 East 36th street in the Murray Hill section is know know as the Morgan Lofts and was the Haviland China store after the Hoe mansion was destroyed. I hope to see this amazing structure before it too is destroyed.

Sheridan's Ride and the St. Albans Raid
October 17, 1864/2014
Sheridan Famously Rides Twenty Miles to Save the Day at Cedar Creek, VA, Giving Union Important Victory
October 19, 1864. Nearly a month after Union General Phil Sheridan defeated Confederate General Jubal Early at Winchester, Virginia, Early returned and attacked Sheridan's unsuspecting troops at Cedar Creek, driving them back. Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, the predecessor of other illustrated weeklies in the United States, reported at the time:
Thomas Read's painting of Sheridan's horse, Winchester, 1871
"General Sheridan was in Winchester [twenty miles away], when the attack began, and hearing the sound of guns, sprang upon his black charger and dashed toward Cedar Creek. Meeting on the way portions of his army in confused retreat, he galloped up to them, and waving his hat shouted: 'Face the other way, boys — face the other way! We are going back to our camp to lick them out of their boots!' Instantly the tide was turned, and following their commander, the troops hurriedly retraced their steps toward the lost battle ground."
Early's force was almost annihilated, and that put an end to hostilities in the Shenandoah Valley, the Confederacy's breadbasket.
Lincoln's chances for reelection had looked doubtful, but with the presidential election only a few weeks away, word of this important victory buoyed the Union cause and helped sway public opinion away from the peace candidate, former General George McClellan, and toward Lincoln and continuing the war to its eventual conclusion. (1)
Thomas Buchanan Read's poem "Sheridan's Ride," which tells the dramatic story, became immensely popular in the North. It celebrates its hero, General Phil Sheridan, and his Morgan horse named Rienzi, which was changed to Winchester. Winchester became so famous that, when it died in 1878, Sheridan had him preserved and displayed at a military museum in New York City. In 1922, it was transferred to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. (2)
Up from the South at break of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste, to the chieftain's door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away
And wider still those billows of war
Thundered along the horizon's bar;
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled.
Making the blood of the listener cold,
As he thought of the stake in that fiery fray,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there is a road from Winchester town,
A good broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush of the morning light,
A steed as black as the steeds of night
Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight,
As if he knew the terrible need;
He stretched away with his utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell; but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.

St. Albans Raid, Northern-Most Land Action of the War
On October 19, the same day that Sheridan launched a counterattack that turned the Battle of Cedar Creek into a decisive and important Union victory, approximately nineteen Confederate soldiers rode twelve miles south from Canada, and robbed three banks in St. Albans, Vermont. The raid was done with the full knowledge and support of the highest levels of the Confederate government.They shot one man who died two days later, tried to set the town on fire, and then raced north again pursued by a posse. The raiders all made it across the border, most were arrested, but none was extradited to the United States. Most of the stolen money was returned by the Canadian government. The Confederates hoped that the raid might, at long last, spur Great Britain to recognize the Confederacy. It was also hoped to acquire some desperately needed money for the Confederacy's coffers, and to cause Union strategists to move federal troops from the theater of war to guard New England's northern border. Measured against these goals, the dramatic raid cannot be considered a success.
Five of at least eighteen St. Albans Raiders following their escape to Canada and while they were held for trial in Montreal.

One response to "Sheridan's Ride and the St. Albans Raid"
Lorraine Patch Zigman
Thanks for the piece on Sheridan's Ride. My grandfather (my father's father) William Patch served in the Union Army mustering in at Johnson VT. He was at The Battle of Cedar Creek and witnessed Sheridan arriving on his horse which was lathered with sweat from the long, fast ride.

To Thine Own Faith Be True: Why are we willing to sell our souls for the sake of conformity?
Some of my more conservative acquaintances give me funny looks when I say I like Pink (the pop singer). Sometimes I think she is the more liberal, paler version of myself. If you are not familiar with this artist, I'll give you a brief description. She is the blonde pop singer who pretty much rejected the typical Hollywood and music industry image that was given to her and decided to go her own way. Her record label had tried to make her like Brittany Spears, plastic surgeries, dolly images and all. But Pink refused to conform and stayed true to herself. She is a white girl with the short blonde hair, no implants and short skirts. Her music is mostly about what she feels and believes. And once Pink decided to be true to herself, her music career exploded. She is now a multimillionaire!
See, that look on your face right there…is the same look I get when I say this to my conservative Christian friends! But please do, allow me to explain.
I am not all for hard partying and drinking as this may imply. But what I gather from this song is to forget trying to fit in. Don't you dare allow anyone to steal your joy! Do not conform!
The problem with many of us is that we can't accept being the "underdog". We have to be on top. We have to be with the "in" crowd….even if it means selling our very soul. Too many churches have compromised the gospel of Jesus Christ in efforts to fit in. They are more interested in trying to get along with the world. They are more interested in making deals with the devil in exchange for a large building, lots of wealthy members, a cool band and a nice paycheck. They are willing and have chosen to conform to this world.
Some of us try to justify our wrong by saying it is for the sake of peace. What peace will one find on this earth except in Christ Jesus?
Some say, we all worship the same God. My God, my Father would not agree with me holding hands with someone while they pray to the universe or the "blessed mother Mary". My God is a jealous God. He will not have any other God before Him. And by the way, dear heart, if your God is not the Jesus Christ of Nazareth who died on the cross and rose from the dead after three days for your sins, it is not the same God. If fact, your god is not GOD.
We have decided to embrace homosexuality as the new normal. We have allowed it in our churches and homes as if it is okay. Now, I will say that homosexuals should be welcome in the church. They, like anyone else, should be afforded the right to the gospel. Let's be clear, this lifestyle is not of God. (I fully intend to touch more on this subject later. Stay tuned) But the church has welcomed this sin into our fellowship to the point where gay men and women are openly leading churches now. And because the world says it is okay, we keep our mouths shut. Again, we have taken the price that Jesus Christ paid for us and marked it REDUCED.
I understand what it is like to be willing to compromise oneself for the affections of another. I once had a guy tell me that he would be more attracted to me if I got implants, wore glasses and wore my hair a certain way. If any of you know me, you know that my first instinct was to rebuke him and tell him where he could go. But what did I do?
I did not get the implants. But I did change my hair. I bought the little reading glasses and tried them. I never told him, but I did it.
Why? I forgot this verse.
I really liked the guy. So, I wanted to fit into his mold. I had forgotten about the mold that God had already custom made for me. I forgot about that person whom God loved and I loved. I wanted this person to love me. I was willing to compromise myself and my self worth to get that love. So, I wore the glasses and the hair for a little while. One morning, I looked in the mirror with those glasses (I could barely see with them) and I didn't see myself. Where was my ponytail? Where was my red highlighted hair? Where was my vision? I became so angry with myself. I snatched the glasses off and crushed them under my heels. I was so ashamed of what I had done. It had taken me years to grow to love myself. Now I was willing to throw all of that away and change. No way. So, I repented.
Conforming to this world leaves you feeling empty. It never satisfies you because you know in your heart that this person you have become or trying to become is not you. You know in your spirit that this person or thing or idea that you are trying to accept in your holy walk with the Father, is not right. Sooner or later, you will either repent or conform completely, thereby, loosing the battle. Beloveth please do not allow this to happen. Do not allow the enemy to win over you and your powerful soul! God loves you. God chose you. As born again Christians, we are to offer ourselves up to only further God's kingdom. God wants us to stand up and stand out in the crowd. Not fade away into it.
I, for one, am proud to say that I don't want to be popular. I don't care about conforming to a world that is not my home. I may be a dirty little freak to all of those who follow the crowd. But, that's okay. What truly matters is that Jesus Christ made me and you beautifully and wonderfully. It is His opinion of us that counts. It is His judgment of us that will decide our fate. So, my dear Christ centered brothers and sisters, join me as we proudly raise our glasses.


Do we deserve a second chance on a new planet? How can we explore the stars, but maintain the integrity of space? Space ethics is a new field that many are beginning to consider. Today on the podcast, I am joined with Dr. Tony Milligan, author of Nobody Owns the Moon – the Ethics of Space Exploitation, to discuss everything from space mining to colonization.
Not too long ago, Edie Steinhoff had a really bad day. In a household accident, she lost all of the fingers on her hand. But her university community rallied around her to engineer her a new hand. The team, led by Dr. David Grow of New Mexico Tech, work with Edie to design a prosthetic that works for her. It's not often that you can see how your research immediately benefits those around you!
This is the story of the day ZomBees were discovered in San Francisco. No, not the type that eat brains. We're talking about zombees – honeybees that have their bodies hijacked by parasites and are eaten from within. This is a very real threat to honeybees today in North America, and could affect our entire agricultural system. We talk to Dr. John Hafernik about zombees and the citizen science project ZomBee Watch.
What does the future of food hold in store for us? Are our current eating practices sustainable, or will a growing population paired with transportation issues force us to rethink how we eat? Today we talk to Max Elder from the Food Futures Lab about the future of food – everything from the evolution of our protein sources to GMOs to lab-grown meat.
AI and machine learning have become an increasingly prevalent part of our society. Companies use them to take snippets of information about you and to learn about your life, and even to make inferences about what you might do and what you believe. Today we talk to Dr. Rumman Chowdhury about the humanitarian and privacy concerns that result from the use of AI.
What was it like for women in the sciences at the beginning of the 20th century? Today we discuss one woman in particular – Ruby Payne-Scott. Ruby was a brilliant radio astrophysicist who also fought for equal rights for women in the workforce, and her career was shaped by WWII, her marriage, and when she had children. Today we are joined by Dr. Miller Goss, a radio astronomer, who wrote a book about Ruby's life. We discuss what it was like for women 1oo years ago, and how far we have come.
What is it like to see a total solar eclipse? It's hard to describe, but I hope that this podcast, with the cheers of pure joy from the people who saw it, might give you a little taste. We also talk about what science was done during the eclipse, from watching the oceans to watching the climate.
In this special podcast episode, I am teaming up with Dr. Meenakshi Prabhune. We interview each other about our work in science and science communication. In this podcast, I talk to her about how she uses animals and travel to communicate heavier topics in science, like biophysics and genetics. She then interviews me about this podcast series. Both of these interviews appear in Signal to Noise Magazine.
Autism has not always been well understood in the medical community. In fact, sometimes it was so poorly understood that people with autism suffered from misdiagnosis. Yet, these brave people fought their way in a world that constantly demanded they be normal. In today's podcast I talk to Anlor Davin, author of Being Seen, about her journey with autism, autism therapy, and about finding a balance of her own life through Zen meditation.
Food in space leaves a lot to be desired. But if we want to have a sustained presence in space, this will have to change. Today I'm joined with Sebastian Marcu and Neil Jaschinski of a company called Bake In Space, seeking not only to make bread safe to eat in space, but to actually bake it there as well! What challenges do they have to overcome? Find out!
Augmented Reality – It could be games like Pokémon Go. It could also mean talking to an old friend a world away, but it looks like they are siting in the chair besides you. It's exciting, but what ethical and privacy issues come along with augmented reality? Today we talk to Liv Erickson, a software engineer at High Fidelity who works on VR and AR, about the implications of augmented reality.
When we think of sustainability, we often think of making a better world for our children. In today's podcast, hopefully you will be encouraged to look at the even bigger picture. We are joined by Dr. Oliver Putz, a member of a sustainability think tank, to discuss how climate change and the ecological crisis are affecting plants, animals, and people a world away from us, and how, by thinking globally, we can find deeper meaning.
What do you do when landfills are full of recyclables and prone to fires? Design a robot of course! Today we talk to the young entrepreneur Jaidev Shah, who designed robots that can go into the landfills of India. These robots search and collect recyclables and can locate landfill fires before they become too large. His robots promise to help those who currently live in and around the landfills have better lives.
With great power comes great responsibility. The gene editing technology CRISPR-Cas9 has tremendous promise, from creating a malaria-proof mosquito to making our crops more pest-resistant. It can even be used on humans. But when we edit the genome, are we playing with fire? Here to talk with us about the ethics (and promise) of CRISPR is Dr. Leila Jamal, a bioethicists who is intimately aware of the ethical conundrums of CRISPR.
Your body is a delicate machine, and space is a harsh environment. Today we talk to Dr. Ronke Olabisi, a biomedical engineer, about the challenges that the human body has to withstand in space and ways to overcome them. These advances will make space safer for astronauts, and can make life on Earth healthier as well!
It's time to reimagine the carbon cycle. It's time to rethink where we get our energy from. Renewable energy not only keeps our environment cleaner, but can also be cheaper in the long-run. And new carbon-negative technologies can create energy and generate products, all when removing carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere. Today we talk to Dr. David Babson, a technology manager in the US Department of Energy, about steps to combat the global energy crisis and climate change.
Can children in the developing world, in areas where internet is scarce or nonexistent, have access to educational materials on the web? Today we talk to Dr. Laura Hosman, who has traveled around the world to places like Senegal or Tonga. She is working to bring these children a web-like educational experience through a small ruggedized computer called a SolarSPELL.
Many Tibetan monks are not familiar with modern math and science, despite the Dalai Lama's love of the subjects. To remedy this, the program Science for Monks was born - a program that helps Tibetan monks learn astronomy, physics, math, and biology. Today, we are joined by one of the teachers of this program - astronomer Dr. Chris Impey. He talks to us about his experience, what he taught the monks, and what they taught him in return.
What does it take to make a planet habitable? Of course, distance to the star is perhaps the most important variable that controls the planet's temperature and allows liquid water to exist. But what about conditions on the planet itself? Today we talk to Dr. Ramses Ramirez about how things like volcanism and tectonic activity helps a planet develop and maintain an atmosphere to keep it warm, and how the habitable zone might be bigger than we previously thought.
Is our Universe all that there is? Is it possible that there are actually more universes than there are atoms in the observable Universe? Such an idea - the concept of the multiverse, is hard, if not impossible, to prove, but is supported by scientific theories like inflation and mathematical theories like string theory. Today we are joined with Dr. Jerry Cleaver, who talks about what the multiverse is and the philosophical puzzles that it produces.
There are now instances when robots, machines, and artificial intelligence will need an ethical framework. From self-driving cars to autonomous weapons systems to robots in healthcare, machines will be called upon to make ethical decisions. But how do we even begin to describe morality in lines of code and mathematics that a robot can understand? Today we talk to Dr. Don Howard, a philosopher who speculates about a robotic moral code.
Why are some habits so hard to break? How much control do we have over our own brains? Today we talk to Dr. Alan Weissenbacher, a neuroscientist who drew his inspiration from his work with recovering addicts. By understanding how pathways in the brain form, we have insights into addictions, bad (and good) habits, and how we can build better brains.
Climate change is often viewed as a political problem. But in reality, it is a scientific issue, and perhaps equally as important, it is a moral and spiritual issue. How are religious communities responding? Today we are talking to three people involved in various religious environmental organizations, each representing a different faith community.

Best Shots review - Future State: Green Lantern #2 saved with Teen Lantern back-up story
By Matthew Sibley published 9 February 21
John Stewart, Hal Jordan, and the new Teen Lantern share the spotlight of Future State: Green Lantern #2
(Image credit: DC)
The main story in Future State: Green Lantern #2 picks up in the midst of the ongoing planetary evacuation while John Stewart has been captured by the Khund cult, but Geoffrey Thorne's scripting never stirs any emotion.
Future State: Green Lantern #2 credits
Written by Geoffrey Thorne, Josie Campbell, and Robert Venditti
Art by Tom Raney, Mike Atiyeh, Andie Tong, Wil Quintana, Dexter Soy, and Alex Sinclair
Lettered by AndWorld Design, Dave Sharpe, and Steve Wands

'Rama Rating: 4 out of 10
It's just difficult to care about a conflict when the writing itself seems disinterested in the characters that find themselves caught up in it, and the continued lack of context for why this is all happening hurts that potential level of engagement even more. The story only seems to exist because there needed to be a Green Lantern book being published. Not even the rugged texture of Tom Raney and Mike Atiyeh's artwork can make it seem like more.
The issue's saving grace is the first back-up, which comes from Josie Campbell, Andie Tong, Wil Quintana, and Dave Sharpe; it sees Teen Lantern, trapped on Mogo, the sentient planet, when the central battery stops. Stranded and alone, it's up to her to fend for survival. While somewhat slight due to the brevity, the team succeed in tackling this from the young character's point-of-view and in illustrating the character's potential within the wider mythos and not just as a part of Young Justice.
The second back-up is more of an ad for the ongoing series than an actual story. Robert Venditti's script opens with Hal lamenting how many Lanterns have disappeared or lost contact, so he sets off for the stars to get a handle on what threats are coming. Though what's worse than the thin material is how the dynamic stylings of Dexter Soy are flattened by Alex Sinclair's colors. There are hints of texture in the artwork, but the final outcome hews too close to the house style for an artist who has previously proven to be capable of anything but.
Green Lantern fan? Make sure you've read all the best Green Lantern stories of all time.


India's IT outsourcing giant Mahindra Satyam has resurrected former high profile Telstra and Optus executive Ted Pretty, placing him in the chairman's role for its newly fleshed out Australia and New Zealand operations.
Signalling a new push in A/NZ, Pretty has been tasked to drive Mahindra Satyam and Tech Mahindra strategy across network engineering and operations, business intelligence and analytics, cloud, mobility and security, the company said.
As one of Telstra's more prolific M&A men, Pretty's experience will also be leveraged to facilitate expansion plans in the region as the diversifies into "higher service suite" business offerings.
In April, the company announced that it was expanding its local HQ in Sydney, promising hundreds of new jobs over the next three to five years.
Mahindra Satyam Australia & NZ Venki Prathivadi said that Australian revenues had doubled in the last three years with local customers driving demand for rich data analytic services.
Local clients include Vodafone and Optus. Just weeks after flagging the expansion and job creation Optus announced a restructure that would include the loss of 750 jobs , many of which reside in the support and back office sweet spot for Mahindra Satyam.
"Australia is very important strategically for us. Our commitment will not just be financial it will be intellectual as well," Prathivadi said.


A reminder to our quilting & sewing friends that The Sewing Machine Doctor will be here tomorrow, Thursday, February 27th from 10am-1pm.
Also, if anyone knows a lady that dropped off her Brother to be worked on a month ago to be worked on. Please tell her to come pick up her machine. She did not leave her name & phone number. She just dropped it off & left it. There are a pair of scissors in a small square tupperware type box that says "Chris". The machine really needs to go home. I do know she just had twin grandkids born last month.


For many people, heading to the local wine shop can be an intimidating and anxiety-inducing experience. All you want to do is get in and get out with a bottle of wine you're going to enjoy. But in your state of panic, you're likely to make a few mistakes that may cause you to be less than thrilled with your bottle when you finally arrive home. These are the 7 most common.
This is probably the mistake that happens the most often. Sure, there are wine shop employees out there that can be snobby and elitist, but those people are in the minority. For the most part, people working in a wine shop are excited about the wine they're selling, which means that they've most likely consumed the majority of the wines on the shelf. Here is an individual who can actually point you in the direction of a wine you are likely to enjoy because they've tried it before. You just need to be willing to have a conversation with them.
We've all been there before: you get home with your bottle, and after popping it, you discover there's something wrong. Most people in this situation simply pour the bottle down the drain, but don't do that; instead take the bottle back. We know what you're going to say – "but what if there is nothing wrong with the bottle and the wine shop makes me look stupid?" Well then that's not a wine shop you want to be gracing with your business. Any shop that cares about the customer will take the wine back, whether something is actually wrong with it or not.
Everyone wants to walk out of the store with a cheap bottle that is also delicious, but that can be difficult unless you're willing to talk to the people that work in the shop. If you instead are going it alone, it's important to remember that the pivot point for quality is right around the $20 mark. If you spend $20 or more, you're likely to walk out of the shop with a great bottle you will enjoy. Spend less than $20 and it can be harder to find well made bottles mixed in with more mass-produced options.
If you don't step outside your comfort zone, then how can you be awestruck by a new wine? It's easy and safe to head to the Californian, French or Italian section of the shop, but every once in awhile try a wine from an obscure region instead, like Greece. You'll be glad you did.
For many the screw cap still seems to signify lesser quality wine. But this could not be further from the truth. Many winemakers of high regard are bottling their wine under screwcap because it protects the wine from cork taint, meaning a bottle under screwcap is less likely to be returned to the shop and you won't have to worry about determining whether or not your wine is corked.
When we head to the store we're usually only in the market for one or two bottles, but if you buy a whole case, you'll often get a ten to fifteen percent discount on your purchase. Plus, having extra wine on hand is always beneficial. You never know when you're going to want to host people on short notice or receive a last minute invite to a friend's dinner party.
Sometimes, this situation is unavoidable. But when it is avoidable, avoid it! It's always better to buy a bottle of wine when you have some time to actually browse the shop and talk to the employees. Doing this will prevent you from making a snap purchase that you may not be happy with later, and ensures you have time to consider all of the options being presented to you. Another way to avoid this situation is by buying that case, just as we discussed above.

R&Q still looking at sidecars to bring third-party capital into legacy deals
6th September 2019 - Author: Steve Evans
Randall & Quilter (R&Q) Investment Holdings, the specialist non-life insurance and reinsurance legacy investor and program manager, is continuing to explore the potential for third-party capital to assist it on undertaking larger legacy transactions.
In announcing its results today, R&Q explained that tapping the appetite of insurance and reinsurance linked investors to support its deal-flow would be attractive.
The legacy and run-off market has become increasingly focused on very large insurance and reinsurance portfolios, making having ample capital, or access to it, key to win the most competitive bids.
R&Q sees an opportunity to enter into much larger transactions by putting its expertise in understanding and managing the risk to work alongside third-party investor capital.
The firms Executive Chairman Ken Randall said today that R&Q continues to explore ways to achieve this.
"We continue to explore potential "side-car" arrangements with third party capital to finance larger acquisitions where we believe R&Q's originating and structuring skills are attractive to third party investors seeking exposure to discontinued non-life insurance business," Randall explained.
It's something the firm has been exploring for a while now, trying to find an optimal way to align its own and investors interest in a structure that allows for capital to flow more readily to support deals.
A third-party capitalised vehicle structured like a sidecar arrangement could be ideal for this purpose, providing a more permanent capital vehicle than an insurance-linked fund, which could have fixed terms and perhaps run through some kind of commutation and re-financing loop to extend the term
With legacy books of business typically featuring longer-tailed exposures there is a need for a fixed term for investors, to enable them to have a liquidity opportunity, but with an opportunity to reinvest and refinance also clearly available.
Achieving this means legacy books would have to be "seasoned" on a periodic basis, to give investors a clear view of how the book is performing, after which an entry and exit point could be arranged, to allow investor capital to leave and come in, perhaps.
The end result could be a structure that helps R&Q to finance larger run-off deals, making it more competitive in large deal bidding through the use of third-party capital from institutional investors.
Randall said the firm sees an increasing number of these large legacy insurance and reinsurance deals.
"There are increasing, and sometimes large, opportunities emerging where insurers decide to sell off Legacy portfolios in order to free up capital to support their ongoing business. Last year saw an increased number of major merger announcements and we expect this trend to continue. Such business combinations frequently give rise to Legacy opportunities following the post-merger rationalisation process," he explained.
Adding, "Our traditional Legacy business continues to thrive with five Legacy acquisitions and three Legacy reinsurances completed in the period. We are seeing a growing number of larger deal opportunities as the demand for Legacy solutions continues to grow."
Insurance-linked securities (ILS) investors have demonstrated an appetite for run-off and legacy risk through other existing vehicles, particularly of the mid to shorter-tailed kind.
Some specialist ILS funds already allocate some capital to these arrangements and other large institutional investors see the benefits of partnering with a legacy specialist to access prime sources of legacy risk linked returns.
Partnering is critical, as legacy and run-off is a particularly specialist business, where the ability to manage claims volume, season the portfolio of risk to better understand it and forecast profitable outcomes is key.
Large ILS investors with the appetite to access insurance or reinsurance linked returns from the legacy and run-off space and the ability to lock capital up for more than one-year would likely find partnering with a specialist such as R&Q the optimal way to achieve this.

Catching them young
TRISHA Ramabhai, a Grade Seven learner at Bishopslea Primary School in Harare, has an unusual but healthy passion for planting trees.
At a time when children of her age are mostly concentrating on watching movies or playing games, Trisha focuses on greening the environment.
The learner's objective is to plant as many trees as possible.
The Sunday Mail Society recently caught up with the 12-year-old as she was planting tree seedlings she had donated to the Greenwood Park in Harare.
With the help of her mother, Trisha, who is an ambassador of Forest Lovers, sourced for funds to buy the plants.
Forest Lovers is an organisation that encourages children to plant trees and conserve the environment under the "Every Child a Tree" campaign.
Among the tree species that were planted under the watchful eye of a Forestry Commission conservation extension officer, Mr Douglas Joho, were the jacaranda, schefflera and the Kenyan
croton.
For Trisha, who also donated and planted trees at the Harare Gardens last year, the activity is like a calling to her.
"Planting trees helps the environment. From the day I learnt from the internet about the important roles trees play in our lives, I decided to plant as many trees as possible," Trisha said.
Her favourite tree is the jacaranda, which she said produces beautiful flowers.
She urged both the young and the old to plant trees.
"One way of taking care of the environment is by planting as many trees as possible. Trees are life," Trisha said.
Trisha's mother, Mrs Bhakti Ramabhai, urged parents to encourage their children to plant trees.
"When Trisha told me that she wanted to donate trees, I supported her idea. Planting trees helps our environment, our country. I am going to help her plant as many trees as she can," said Mrs Ramabhai.
Mr Joho said young people are always passionate about planting trees.
"The department that I work for is charged with the well-being of our environment.
"We educate people and demonstrate to them how we should plant trees. When it comes to tree planting, children are
more than willing to learn," reckons Mr Joho.
Mr Bob Riyete Mavende, the founder and director of Forest Lovers, explained the organisation's mandate.
"This programme (Every Child a Tree) tries to give every child an opportunity to plant trees.
"Tree planting is one of the solutions to combat climate change. Zimbabwe is one of the countries in the world where there is a very high rate of deforestation," Mr Mavende said.
Working mainly with schoolchildren, Mr Mavende called on parents to emulate what Trisha is doing and encourage their children to do likewise.
"Kids are eager to learn and always take active roles in tree planting. I encourage parents and guardians to encourage
"If we have 100 kids planting, say 10 trees, this will take us far in terms of tree planting and combating climate change," he said.
Forest Lovers is targeting to plant more than 1 000 trees during this year's annual tree planting season.

What Movement Means To Me – A Letter by Julie T.


Should I Go to Therapy? - Collaborative Psychological Services, Inc.
It's common to ask, "Do I really need therapy?" It makes good sense given therapy involves a commitment of time, financial resources and emotional energy. You may wonder, "Will it really help me?" or "Don't most people go through this without needing therapy?" Determining if your problem requires professional help may be challenging.
We frequently know what to do for physical pain. If you injure your ankle, you stop and rest. You may elevate your foot and apply ice. If the pain impacts your ability to work, attend school or socialize, you seek out a medical professional. Knowing the steps to take for emotional pain are often less clear. However, the "You tried to heal it, and it keeps hurting. Get help," approach can also apply here.
It can feel uncomfortable contacting a therapist. Remember, most therapists chose this profession, because they truly enjoy helping people. I am glad when people call me for support, because I have tools to help manage anxiety, depression and stress. I invite you to contact me today if you're on the fence about therapy and need guidance.
* If you are in crisis and/or having thoughts of wanting to hurt or kill yourself, seek help immediately by contacting 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

Latest Review: Pushkin's Second Wife and Other Micronovels
An import from Peter Owen, Pushkin's Second Wife and Other Micronovels is Yuri Druzhnikov's latest book to be published in English and the latest addition to our review section. It was translated from the Russian by Thomas Moore and came out earlier this year.
The review is written by Irene Minkina, a student here at the University of Rochester who has been interning for the press this past semester.
Druzhnikov's most famous novel is Angels on the Head of a Pin, but this sounds pretty intriguing as well, especially since it's not a novel, and not stories, but a collection of "micronovels":
Yuri Druzhnikov is most well known for his novel Angels on the Head of a Pin (2003), which was included on the University of Warsaw's list of the top ten Russian novels of the twentieth century. Though six of his books have been translated in English, he has not received as much critical attention as other contemporary writers such as Victor Pelevin and Vladimir Sorokin. Pushkin's Second Wife and Other Micronovels (2007) is Druzhnikov's collection of ten "micronovels," a term which Druzhnikov explains in the postcript, stating that "in the twenty-first century this new genre has acquired legitimacy, filling a niche for a genre in which large-novel ideas accumulate energy in the space of a mere thirty pages."

Q: Accessing child element using jQuery Assuming I have this HTML structure:

            Text

How would I, using jQuery, go about accessing "Text"? I know I need to use something like $('a').text(), but my hangup lies in not knowing how to get down to that level when I only know the class of the UL at the top. I've tried using variations of .children() but I'm not quite sure how to traverse down that far.
Please assume that I cannot change any of the original HTML markup.
Thanks in advance.

A: this should handle it
$('.menu a').text();

edit: to include code for edited question
here is how to loop through all links in .menu
$('.menu a').each(function(){

   alert(  $(this).text() );
});

A: Here is an example that would even work if there are more links in the other divs:
$('.menu li div:eq(1) div:eq(1) a').text();

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/utJsu/

A: You could also give the anchor tag a specific class or id, then use that class or id to select it.
HTML
Text
Text

jQuery
$('.menu-link').text();

The benefit of using a unique class as a selector is that if you have other anchor tags under the menu, you will only affect the ones that have the given class.
The other link with no class will not be affected.

A: Since you have several a inside of .menu you can use each
$('.menu a').each(function(){$(this).text(); // gives you the text of each a});

Peer support is based on offering and receiving help based on shared understanding, respect and mutual empowerment.
