The Story of Your Book
About Genesis
Songs by George Harrison Volume Two
"George Harrison, writer of love songs – in my opinion, some of the best love songs of the period… And what a range he encompassed, from love songs to the social conscience of 'Taxman' and 'Tears of the World'. As I look down the vast output of this man's songs, my Foreword could turn into Book 3." – Ringo Starr
In 1985 artist Keith West, one of the finest botanical watercolour artists in the world, was introduced to George Harrison, and so began a close collaboration to produce a stunning set of watercolours illustrating the composer's many memorable songs.
This beautifully illustrated second volume contains 59 songs by George Harrison, including such classics as 'My Sweet Lord', 'Something' and 'All Things Must Pass'.
A recording of four previously unreleased tracks from George is provided, with the choice of vinyl or CD format.
"It has been pure pleasure for me to see these ideas go from a thought to pencil sketches to paintings, so taking on a life of their own." - George Harrison
Artist Keith West soon found himself travelling regularly from his cottage in North Wales to Oxfordshire to discuss with George Harrison the interpretations of his song lyrics. Keith submitted detailed pencil sketches for George's approval, and from these drawings his remarkable finished paintings were produced.
To complement these delightful images West has hand-lettered the words to the songs. The lyrics are embellished with additional small paintings that possess an irresistible charm.
The collection is punctuated with text contributions from Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, plus an afterword by George Harrison himself.
"Derek Taylor introduced me to George Harrison sometime during the late, great Sixties. And like a Harrison tune, the route was circuitous... Somewhere between the pages of this beautiful and cleverly illustrated book, you will find your own George Harrison." - Harry Nilsson
The lyrics to more than fifty of George Harrison's songs appear in this craftsman-produced book of 176 pages.
The edition includes 25 full-page plates, with song lyrics hand-lettered and accompanied by decorations in colour, reproduced in flawless facsimile. The book features two beautiful fold-out plates, and photographs in colour and monochrome.
Handsomely bound in three-quarter leather with gilt tooling, the limited edition is presented in a hand-made Solander box. Pull out the special drawer underneath the book to discover the extended play record or compact disc specially manufactured for this limited edition.

As 14-year-old Vang Thi Thu Ha listens to her male science teacher talk about genetics in a small school in the seventh poorest province in Vietnam known as Lao Cai, she wonders if she would ever become a science teacher. Pictures of Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, and Nikola Tesla hang on the wall, but there are no pictures of women. She turns her attention back to the teacher who points to a diagram of a biological structure and asks the class if they know what it is. She knows the answer but doesn't raise her hand. In Vietnam, half of all universities employ women and only eleven percent receive professorships. What is the point in trying if she has no role model to inspire her to become a scientist?
65% of the population of Lao Cai come from ethnic groups such as the Dao, Mong, and Tay tribes and it is indisputable that these children are not experiencing the same level of education as the rest of Vietnam. Girls in these ethnic groups do not get the same opportunities as girls in other parts of Vietnam because they may need to help their mothers take care of their siblings or they get married at a young age.
In many schools around the world, there are programmes designed to guide students towards a more science or math-based career. This programme is known as the STEM programme (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) program and it was first introduced in 2001 by scientific administrators at the U.S. National Science Foundation. However, schools in Vietnam do not have the proper resources, such as textbooks or qualified STEM teachers, to provide girls with opportunities that might change their futures.
In Vietnam, girls that belong to rural communities are particularly disadvantaged because they never have the opportunity to study STEM subjects at a higher level in high school and university. The Chief of Education for UNICEF, Simone Vis, explained that only 30% of Vietnam's poorest students continue to middle school and 90% of those students reach high school. The children that do not continue on to secondary school stay home and help the family. However, even students who do receive secondary education lack the chance to participate in the STEM Program because rural schools cannot fund science labs or equipment needed for an engineering class. There are also not enough teachers for many schools in rural Vietnam. According to Vietnam News, some math classes don't have a math teacher for several months or even years. They have to be replaced with a teacher who might specialize in English or Geography. Vang Thi Thu Ha mentioned that her best friend who lived in the remote Bac Ha district said that her primary school hadn't had trained maths teacher in two years. Without qualified teachers, the students won't be able to learn the skills of said topic and won't be able to pursue further study.
Vis explained why STEM has not yet been introduced to public schools and what UNICEF is trying to do about it. "When you introduce a new approach of teaching, you need all of the teachers to understand it and you need the curriculum, the textbooks, the exams, and assessments to assess what the children are learning," she said. Currently, many teachers are not trained to help and teach students to think creatively, solve problems, and embrace their curiosity for learning. This is why it is difficult to introduce STEM programs into schools in Vietnam.
Furthermore, teachers who went to the best teaching schools in Vietnam or elsewhere usually end up teaching in the more developed and rich regions in Vietnam such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Danang. This contributes to the shortage of qualified teachers in poor neighborhoods or rural villages. On top of that, the textbooks include famous male scientists or male mathematicians, making these STEM subjects far less desirable to the female students. It seems that STEM careers are mainly targeted towards men.
In many advantaged schools or public schools in Hanoi, there are STEM clubs.
The teachers know that they can't teach it as part of the curriculum because they lack the tools and knowledge to teach and assess these topics, so they made a club for those who are interested. However, the students have to pay around 120 USD per month to join. This creates the same problem that disadvantaged children cannot join these clubs as the cost of the club may be their parents' monthly income. To ensure that all students can join these clubs, UNICEF hopes to persuade the Ministry of Education to find a way to make these clubs accessible to all students regardless of their financial background. They want to try to integrate these STEM courses into the curriculum so that it can be considered as its own subject, instead of having expensive and exclusive clubs.
STEM has just been introduced to UNIS, bringing along with it a new subject, Engineering. Before STEM was introduced, the STEM-related subjects were separated and were rarely emphasized during class. Now, we have more crossovers between the four subjects (math, science, technology, and engineering) which makes the UNIS school programme a STEM programme. Some of the crossovers may include a maths class that uses engineering and math to build a bridge or a science class that uses math to calculate a volume of a chemical. These crossovers are important for students to use their STEM skills to solve problems from a variety of subjects.
Sarah Schneider, the STEM teacher at UNIS, became interested in pursuing a STEM career from a young age.
Recently, the arts have been included in the program as there is always a creative element in each of the STEM subjects. Many STEM programmes are now referred to as STEAM programmes.
Sarah Schneider explained that even if a student does not want to pursue a career in STEM topics, the subject could still aid them to learn how to solve everyday problems.

The Simple Cure for Your Short Temper
How to Keep Calm and Carry On
Do people accuse you of blowing things out of proportion? Here are five ways to put a stop to overreacting.
By Christina DesMaraisContributor, Inc.com@salubriousdish
Overreacting to a situation can get ugly. It's the kind of knee-jerk behavior that isn't thoughtful or reflective--in fact, it's usually damaging to relationships. And it makes you regret your actions soon after.
Call it a temper, short fuse or hot button, some people seem unable to slow down and think before lashing out at others when frustrated. Or maybe when something undesirable happens you engage in avoidant behaviors and negative self-talk, which can be equally counterproductive.
Both responses--exploding and imploding--are common forms of overreaction, says Dr. Judith Siegel, associate professor at New York University, corporate consultant and author of several books including "Stop Overacting: Effective Strategies for Calming Your Emotions." And while you may feel like your tendency to respond to stress by blowing up or crawling into a hole is an unchangeable part of your personality, you can learn to feel collected and in control regardless what life throws at you. Here's Siegel's advice.
Label the physiological responses you're experiencing.
The part of your brain that registers danger reacts to stress by producing cortisone and adrenaline which put you in a state of high arousal. The physiological response is something you can actually feel in your gut, which is connected to the brain via the vagus nerve. It's why you might feel "butterflies" in your stomach before giving a speech, asking your boss for a raise, or pitching an important new client.
By taking the time to identify and label what you're physically feeling--something Siegel calls "interoception"--you're building connections between the left brain and the right brain. Doing so helps you use information appropriately, learn how to read yourself and others, as well as make thoughtful decisions.
"So what we want to do is build neural networks that will allow people to not get hijacked," she says. "Essentially when something triggers them and they have a strong emotional response, they don't understand it, they don't know how to use it, the neural networks shut down and they end up overreacting."
Identify the emotional triggers that set you off.
When it comes to business people, several emotions commonly elicit an overreaction: rejection, criticism, envy, and issues surrounding control.
"It could be that there's a relationship that you feel left out of at work [or] that you're feeling other people are getting recognized and you're not. Or it could be that you've worked really hard on a pitch and then you lose that deal," Siegel says. "Rejection lights up a part of the brain that connects with the stomach as if you were kicked in the gut. It's that powerful."
Criticism is particularly prevalent in business and Siegel suggests thinking through whether the complaints directed at you are a form of competition, a displacement of someone else's own problems, or actually constructive observations.
Envy is common to mankind but in business it can be crippling.
"You don't want people undercutting each other and you don't want latent anger. That's not an atmosphere that builds cooperation or teamwork and often it's about how somebody gets recognized or promoted that if it's not handled well creates an emotional turbulence," Siegel says.
As for control, it can cause people discomfort in two ways.
"Some people feel uncomfortable taking control and that's something that is a trigger for them, a fear of making a mistake or losing face," she says. "And for other people they absolutely need to be in control and they have a lot of anxiety even if they don't want to recognize that when too much control is being taken over by someone else."
Do not ruminate.
Siegel says exercises such as deep breathing, repeating a mantra or using mindfulness can help calm the part of your brain that has your body on high alert.
Sometimes business people can have a hard time with this because of their tendency to want to problem solve which often translates into mentally revisiting the disturbing event over and over again. Unfortunately, this rumination does nothing to help you calm down and see things accurately.
"You're problem solving something that's probably skewed. You shouldn't be trusting in your cognition at that moment," Siegel says. "Your problem solving is based on your interpretation of material that isn't thoughtful. It's not the whole picture."
Take care of yourself.
If you're sick, tired, hungry, or otherwise not at your physical best you're more likely to overreact.
"When you have multiple stressors it does accumulate and it truly is the straw that breaks the camel's back," she says. "So you need to know when to... use some strategies of self-care because you're getting put or you're putting yourself into a high-risk situation."
Do a self-inventory.
This involves asking yourself two vital questions.
First, how intense is this experience? Maybe whatever you were hoping would happen was a long shot, and it not coming through isn't that big of a deal. Alternately, if you've been working hard for a year trying to prove to your boss you're the one she should promote it may feel devastating if you don't get the job.
Second, how in control of your emotions do you feel right now? Imagine you just found out the IRS will audit your books, you're already in debt, someone in your family just received a medical diagnosis that's going to cost a lot of money, and you open your mail to see an unexpected charge on your credit card. You might feel like one more thing might set you off. It probably will, unless you identify your weakness ahead of time.
"A self-inventory allows you to know 'I think I'm building control of my emotions. I can manage more and take on more and do well with it,'" Siegel says.

El Cancionero de Montecassino (Montecassino, Biblioteca dell'Abbazia, 871) o Cancionero Musical de Montecassino (CMM) es un manuscrito napolitano que contiene música del periodo renacentista de la segunda mitad del siglo XV.

El manuscrito
El manuscrito consta de varios fascículos que originalmente se encontraban separados y fueron encuadernados juntos a finales del siglo XVII. Mide 276 x 206 mm. y se compone de 228 folios, de los que 123 son de pergamino y 95 de papel. Al menos 70 folios se han perdido y algunos están encuadernados en orden incorrecto. La música está contenida en los folios de papel (pag. 247-436), que datan del siglo XV, mientras que los de pergamino, del siglo XIII y XIV, contienen diversos escritos de tema religioso, como libros de mártires, reglas de la Orden Benedictina, etc.

El repertorio musical se asocia generalmente con la corte aragonesa en Nápoles y se considera que proviene de un ambiente monástico. El copista principal del códice fue probablemente un monje del monasterio de San Michele Arcangelo de Planciano, en Gaeta o bien del monasterio benedictino de los santos Severino y Sossio en Nápoles. Los fragmentos sin texto de las páginas 323, 424 y 432 se deben a un escriba diferente. Según consta en una inscripción en la página 247, durante el siglo XVI el manuscrito estuvo custodiado en el monasterio de los santos Severino y Sossio, y fue llevado posteriormente, probablemente durante el siglo XVI o XVII, al monasterio principal de la orden benedictina, en Montecassino, lugar donde se guarda actualmente.

Las obras
El manuscrito consta de 144 obras, si bien dos de ellas están duplicadas, por lo que en realidad tiene 142. Además, 46 obras que aparecen en el índice se han perdido. Entre los compositores representados en el cancionero, podemos destacar a Loyset Compère, Philippe Caron, Hayne van Ghiseghem, Juan Cornago, Pere Oriola, Johannes Ockeghem, Guillaume Dufay, etc.

Las obras se pueden clasificar de la siguiente manera:
 70 Obras religiosas
 1 fragmento de Sanctus
 1 sección de misa del Ordinario
 3 Magníficats
 6 salmos
 35 himnos
 2 lamentaciones
 15 motetes

4 seasons in 1 day, that's exactly the weather we had over here over the past couple of days. Bright blue spring skies with a gentle warm sun followed by gusts of wind, rain and even snow. Best be prepared for everything with this super versatile street to stable all season look.
This outfit not only incorporates some of my personal favourites, but also shows off my absolute all season favourite color combinations.
Let's starts with he star of the show: the Asmar Equestrian 'all weather rider' in navy blue. You might have seen it pass by in a few of my posts or have read the product review (if not, do so HERE). This jacket really is your 4 seasons in 1 day best friend: lightweight enough to layer, warm enough to ride through cold gusts of wind and it will keep you dry when caught in an unexpected spring shower.
You've probably also seen me wearing my favourite brown vest over a mustard colored top quite a few times, here are some options for you to wear the same kind of look: The Horze Lara vest is a beautiful shade of brown and goes great with the Park Cross shirt. Wear it all with a pair of Asmar Equestrian super chic denim breeches and with a pair of my favorite Roeckl equestrian grip gloves.
Just a few more accessories to make this look extra versatile and stylish: a super cute 'evil eye' scarf by Slater Zorn for warmth and style and a pair of Rönner design customisable monogram slipper for the ultimate street to stable look.

One hundred years ago, Roscoe Pound wrote his famous article, "Law in Books and Law in Action." Considered an important step toward American legal realism, today this article is invoked more for its title than its content. I would argue that in the article, Pound did not clearly distinguish between two separate situations: (1) the departure of decisions of courts from statements of statutory (or constitutional) law, and (2) the discrepancy between doctrine in books and empirical data about law. This second observation has fed various strands of jurisprudence, if often only through the repetition of the well-quoted formula. It is not my purpose here to address all of the controversies concerning the relationship between legal science and facts. My target, more modestly, is to identify and analyze the connections between Pound's dichotomy and the European legal theories that are influenced by the ideas of Hans Kelsen, H.L.A. Hart, and Alf Ross about law and facts. My point of departure is the distrust of American legal theorists, who, as a group, consider themselves to be "legal realists," of Kelsen's normativism, which is too often presented by them as a simplistic and outdated theory without links to the modern practice of law. American legal realism and its intellectual progeny, it can be claimed, are better suited to the empirical study of complex legal orders that comprise more than the law enacted by the state. Although I would argue that Kelsen was both "shocked" and inspired to update his arguments when he discovered American realism upon arriving in the United States, he failed to convince Americans of the correctness of his Pure Theory of Law. In Europe, however, many positivists remain faithful to the theories of Kelsen and Hart. The conception of law as a set of norms and a "matter of social fact" is considered the core principle of legal positivism. As I will demonstrate, the problem raised by Pound in his 1910 paper is virtually identical to the one Kelsen tried to solve a few decades later: how to build a legal science without erecting a phantasmagoria of imagined law without connection to how law is actually used and actually works. Legal scholars continue to write law books and to describe legal orders, and they do so through making choices about what counts as law and is therefore worth presenting to readers. An analysis of these choices that legal scholars must make demonstrates the similarities between Kelsen's arguments and Pound's approach. To explore these similarities, I will focus on legal change; in particular, I will consider legal change in its historical context in order to give empirical content to the tension between black-letter law and rules "in action." I will use legal history, in part, as a means of emphasizing the importance of the rule of change among Hart's secondary rules, and I will argue that all legal phenomena are in constant evolution. If I am correct, then we can only bring law and facts into closer relation to the extent that we are able to understand why law is continually changing.

Our Story is Our Story – People Drive Change!
Companies love to publicize that they are driving social change, but often overlooked is how that change came about. It's people! After investing hundreds of millions of dollars for large companies driving social change through environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") investing or socially responsible investing ("SRI"), I had a feeling that companies could do more. But this wouldn't come from corporate executives at large-cap companies or corporate investing from large pension funds; it would come from customers, from shareholders, from people.
I never thought I would find myself in this career. With a chemical engineering degree, I interviewed with companies that were not eco-friendly. Although I enjoyed outdoor activities, the environment and sustainability were the last things on my mind. Then I worked as an environmental engineer. One project gave me firsthand experience on how the decisions people make can change the environment for better or for worse. The project involved the study of pesticides and their impact on the wildlife in the Long Island Sound. After the conclusion of that study I was hooked on promoting the environment, and from there my commitment to ESG/SRI only grew.
I'm a father of two and that changed my perspective. Prior to kids, and with a passion for finance, I had two major job goals: (1) become a "Wall Street" banker – Check; and (2) move into the private equity field – Check. It wasn't until a Father's Day gift from one of my kids that had me thinking about how my career decisions influenced them. Made at preschool was a "My Daddy" list. Extremely cute, but also providing perspective, two statements left a huge impression, "For fun, he likes to work on the phone." and "I love my Dad because I like to play with him when he is not working." While my kid only sees the amount that I work, it had me think more on the purpose of my work. After working as a banker and investor for numerous years, I wanted my work to serve a greater purpose. I want to leave a sustainable future for my family, my clients, those important to my clients, and society.
ESG/SRI. Finance. Family. The gears in my head were turning. My entire career involved working for a variety of companies focused on the environment, sustainability, social infrastructure, and governance. Why couldn't I do this for myself? Why can't my clients be individuals, families, small to mid-sized businesses, and non-profits? I can and they Can! And with that I had my solution; create a financial practice to foster my clients' investment AND sustainability goals.
I launched Envest Asset Management with a background in environmental engineering, investment banking in social infrastructure, and debt and equity investing in clean energy. I found that many advisors (independent or brokerages) offering Financial Planning and Investment Management services were missing a third, critical component – ESG/SRI. Independent, fiduciary, fee-only, client obsessive – Envest Asset Management provides financial planning and investment management focused on ESG/SRI investments to individuals, families, businesses, and non-profits. Envest Asset Management and its clients understand grassroots social, environmental, and sustainability advocacy can force significant change, which can be accomplished through investing. Envest Asset Management helps clients make an even greater social impact while preparing for their financial future. Come join me on this journey to Invest for the Future and for the Future Environment.

As part of our commitment to ESG/SRI, we utilize ESG practices in our day-to-day operations. We focus on waste reduction through our virtual services, and our third-party service providers are those that also have substantial ESG practices.
Envest Asset Management, LLC was formed as a grassroots effort to bring ESG/SRI practices to individuals, families, businesses, and non-profits. This came after a career that spanned from engineering to finance, which included environmental engineering, investment banking in social infrastructure, clean energy project lending, and, most recently, private equity investing in the clean energy space.
After working in the private equity space, I had a strong desire to bring ESG/SRI to a different set of investors through the financial planning and investment management industry. Many of the skills used as a private investor apply to ESG/SRI planning and investment management roles. As a private equity investor, I found ESG/SRI investment opportunities and took a deep-dive into the financial health of the opportunities to determine their long-term value. I often created or helped budget for operating performance and profit and losses and sought ways to maximize investor value. Under Envest Asset Management I can apply these same principals to my clients, their financial plan, and their investment portfolio.
I worked on all aspects of ESG/SRI. I look forward to educating clients in the space so that we can all make a positive impact together.

REF raises capital to promote educational advancements in the Ridgefield Public School ("RPS") system. WNC connects people to the habitats, plants, and animals of southwestern, CT through programs that build awareness, nurture understanding, and advance conservation.
Prior to launching Envest Asset Management, I worked at Energy Power Partners, a clean energy focused private equity fund. While the bulk of my finance career was spent there, I also worked in clean energy project finance lending for TD Securities and TD Bank. My finance career started as an investment banker in social infrastructure at UBS Securities placing municipal bonds for state and local governments and other municipal authorities. However, I cut my teeth in the ESG space when I started my career as an environmental engineer working in Long Island, NY and in upstate NY.
Outside of work, I am on the Board of Directors for REF and WNC. You may find me actively chasing my two kids around Ridgefield. Or you may find me running the streets throughout Wilton and Ridgefield as an avid distance runner. I also drive a hybrid vehicle.
I hold an MBA from the Simon Business School at the University of Rochester and a BSE in Chemical Engineering from Villanova (Go 'Nova!). I've been engaged as a guest lecturer or panelist at various clean energy related conferences.
