Recording: Money, Till There Was You, Roll Over Beethoven, It Won't Be Long, All My Loving
Tuesday 30 July 1963 Studio 2 Comments
Studio Two, EMI Studios, Abbey Road
Producer: George Martin
Engineer: Norman Smith
This was The Beatles' second EMI session of the day; the first had ended so the group could record an interview and radio session for the BBC. The evening session began at 5pm and finished at 11pm, an hour later than scheduled.
The first song to be worked on was Money (That's What I Want). The Beatles had recorded the song during the 18 July session, but today saw George Martin overdub the piano chords in seven takes.
Till There Was You was another song begun on 18 July. The Beatles today recorded takes 4-8, the last of which was the best.
Five takes of Roll Over Beethoven followed, with George Harrison on lead vocals. The group then recorded two overdubs, only one of which was used, and an edit piece of the final guitar chord.
It Won't Be Long was completed next, following the morning's unsatisfactory attempts to capture it on tape. The Beatles recorded seven more takes (numbered 11-17) and six edit pieces (18-23). An edit of takes 17 and 21 was made on 21 August for the album.
The final song to be recorded on this day was Paul McCartney's All My Loving. The takes were numbered 1-14, although there was no take five. Of these, the first 11 were run-throughs of the song, and 12-14 were overdubs. The version on With The Beatles was a mix of takes 11 and 14.

I'm hoping folks on this site can help clear up something for me regarding the Beatles' recording techniques for two-track-tape sessions like this one. According to a free preview from the book Recording The Beatles — http://recordingthebeatles.com/1963ProductionPreview.pdf — it was impossible for EMI equipment in 1963 to erase the contents of one track on a two-track tape without also erasing the contents of the other track. The book states that the recorder used for Beatles sessions in 1963 "was not a true multi-track machine." (This all changed when they started using four-track recorders.)
For this reason, the Beatles would do overdubs in 1963 by playing back a performance from one session tape while adding new vocals/instruments, sending all of this sound onto a second session tape. This means the overdubs on early Beatles songs do not exist on the same session tape as the original 'backing track' performance.
But that description doesn't fit with the Abbey Road studio documentation for sessions like this one. For Roll Over Beethoven and All My Loving (maybe others recorded this day too), studio documents pictured in Lewisohn's Beatles Recording Sessions show that overdubs were recorded on the SAME TAPE as the 'backing track' performance.
How can this be? Are the authors of Recording the Beatles mistaken? Am I missing something?
robert Wednesday 21 August 2013
As far as I understand they did both and here's how.
Sometimes they did in fact feed original tracks into another tape recorder while recording a live track(s) at the same time – thus creating effect of either three or four tracks. That's why their earliest recordings have some elements that sound more muffled while others sound brighter.
The first track that is feed into the second machine loses a generation of quality.
Also, later on however they discovered – and for some reason I think it was Paul who discovered this – that if you remove the erase head from the tape machine you could then record right onto the very tape you'd already recorded on (without the sound degrading).
Also you could record the rhythm section on track one and then re-run the tape through the machine (with the erase head removed) and then record onto track two.
They did find that sometimes they over-saturated the tape itself.
And sometimes they did both methods together.
My guess is that (and I am sure informed people will clarify) for the session you reference they did the first method and used two machines.

Dauntless Software's Five by Five has been written to help hams and processionals to become familiar with the actual questions that will likely appear on their FCC tests and Ham Exams in the most efficient manner possible. By conscientious use of this program in preparation for the written test, it is very possible to score very highly on your test with a relative minimum of effort.
Passed missing only a couple of questions. Had a day and a half instruction. I used the 5x5 training app. I am a believer now!
Test was pretty easy. Questions were exactly the same as the 5x5 study questions, including the distractors. There is no grade, you get a proof of passing certificate. I'm sure I scored in the high 90s.
I used your "Five by Five" program to study for the Amateur General Class element. I studied the program for about a week and a half before going to an exam session this morning. I completed the test in under 10 minutes scoring 100%. The examiners couldn't believe how fast I handed the answer sheet back to them and making a perfect score at the same time. Kudos to you for such a great program and the Extra Class ticket is next in my sights.
This app is wonderful. I passed my test with flying colors--I am so glad that I found it. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get their GROL and it is a small price to pay for the work that has been put into this program. Keep up the great work you have done a wonderful job.Thank you so much!
First to complete the exam in my test session, passed with 100% correct!
with the help of your software ... I passed every test the FCC offers last year, with the exception of element 7 which now I will study for. I am quite proud of my accomplishment and could not have done it with out the aid of your program. I currently hold the amateur extra class, the GROL with Radar endorsement and the GMDSS radio maintainers license. Please feel free to use this in any product endorsements for your great software.
I just wanted to let you know the results of my amateur radio Extra Class exam using 5x5 software to prepare. Passed the 50 question exam quickly and easily with only 1 wrong (couldn't tell which question I didn't get right, but it certainly was acceptable). Software was extremely helpful to test and prepare me for the exam.
I received your Five by Five Preparation during the week. I studied for no more than two days. I aced my Technician exam this weekend. I am studying now for the General Exam...Keep up the good work!
JWJ | "West Virginia's Finest"
I know it's been too long to thank you for such a great product. I used 5 by 5 to get my tech licence in January. And used it again to upgrade to my General in June. Only missing 3 questions. Thank you for such a great product will be using it again this winter for my extra. I will recommend it to all my friends! Again, thank you.
I wanted to learn amateur radio in 1974 when I was 14 years old. I gave up learning morse code. I started studying again in 1987 and gave up again. Recently I heard morse code was no longer required. I was determined to complete it this time. Using your Five by Five testing program, my old books for reference and information from the internet (such as FCC Part 97), I aced the test (100%).
I am extremely impressed with your program. By saving each completed practice test section, I was able to reload and review only the answers I got wrong instead of wasting time with questions I was already confident with and got right.
Before I took the real test, I took the entire Five by Five Technician test over again. I was able to answer all 391 questions in a little over two hours. When I took the actual FCC test, I completed the 35 questions in about 7 minutes. It took me longer to fill out the forms than to take the test!
Your test made me extremely confident and well prepared. I am studying for my General now and I hope to take it in about 6 weeks.
Thanks for the great program, I wrote my GROL with Radar Endorsement, this program was well put together as after I finished with it, I walked away from all 3 exams in 30 minutes and aced the exams, it would be foolish to not use this inexpensive program. Thank You!
I purchased 5x5 FCC ExamPrep when I still ran Windows XP up to running it on Linux today. In that time, I got my Extra and my children got their Extra, Extra, and Techs. This weekend, my wife passed her Technician test thanks to your program. Just wanted to let you know. Now she is studying for her General!
Several weeks ago I downloaded and registered your 5X5 FCC test prep software. I used this software exclusively for three weeks and then wrote the element 4A radio exam. The test took ten minutes to complete. Great stuff!
I used your program as my sole preparation for my Tech test and obviously passed with plenty of margin. This last Tuesday I decided to start studying for my General. Today, I took my general test and had only one question wrong. I credit 5by5 for my success. The next step is the Extra class test. There is no doubt I will do fine with 5by5.
Thanks for making such a great software tool available! I passed the FCC General Radiotelephone Element 1 and Element 3 tests on the first try.
I just passed the Amateur Extra exam with a perfect score (50/50) and the Five by Five software was definitely a major contributing factor. The software allowed me to cover each area of the exam quickly and methodically and pin point areas that needed more study. Overall this is a very good product. Things I liked: 1) Identifies specific questions missed - major improvement over prior version. 2) User interface is intuitive and layout works well - figures on same screen and questions. 3) Links to Internet and email from within software 4) Technical support was very responsive and effective.
I just tested for the Technician and General Class ham licenses, and out of 70 questions total I missed only one. There's something to be said for each of the various study methods, but there's a whole lot to be said for Five by Five. I intend to test next month for Amateur Extra, and thanks to you folks, I'm not the least bit intimidated.
I took my Tech test today and I couldn't believe that every question and answer looked very familiar. I was totally prepared for the test by using HamExam. I completed the test in a very few minutes, my confidence grew with each question that I saw because I had seen them all before!
I missed two and both of those I knew the answer to but I got too confident and in too big of a hurry and misread the questions. Thanks HamExam! PS I am already studying for my General class.
After three evening sessions of about 4 hours each, I took the with an ARRL VEC team in Las Vegas, NV. I scored 33/35. Your software is the most efficient way that I've ever used to study for an FCC exam.
My only trouble was finding someone to thank. I purchased the program just a short month ago and yesterday I took the Technician exam in the afternoon and of the 35 questions I missed only two. There were about a dozen taking the exam. I finished first and it took me only 7 or 8 minutes. The examiners were surprised but elated that I did so well in so short a time. But that's what your program will do for anyone who stays focused. They have invited me to join the local club which I will be glad to do. I am so happy with myself. I wholeheartedly endorse your program. I'll let you know when I complete the "General".
Your program got me here with ease. You have a wonderful program and I would tell anyone that this would be the way to go. I have such confidence that even the next day I am studying for the "General" class. Thanks fellows!
I used your software for 8 days and breezed thru MROP EL1, GROL EL3 and scored a 90 on the Ship Radar endorsement EL8. The option of printing out only the correct answers is an awesome idea. Thank you making this software so affordable.
I took my test for the General Class license Sunday. With the help of 5by5, the ARRL answer sheet and two months of study I was able to ace the test in 15 minutes. I answered all but one correctly. Thanks for the great software. I intend to use it for the Extra Class license, also.
100% correct on element 9 - Thanks!
Want to say what a pleasure it was to use the [Five by Five] Ham FCC test preparation software.. I used it to pass the Technician - General - and yesterday the Extra. Without the help of this software I would not have had a chance obtaining any of these pass results.. A big thank you and may you continue to successfully create such clever so easy to use - wonderful software.
I have successfully passed all the way up to extra class as of last night. used 5X5 all the way there. I could not have done it without your software! Well worth the asking price!
I would just like to tell you your program is great. I bought it on November 06 2018 the day before the test. With only one day to study before the Ham test, I studied for an hour, and on November 07, 2018 I passed my first ever ham test for technician. I will continue to study for my general for the test next month. Once again thank you for making this great software.
Just wanted to let your software was a great help in taking and passing the Amateur Extra exam this last weekend.
Took the test recently, got 100%, thanks so much, studying for general now with five by five I am sure I will pass with no problems. Thanks again for a great program.
Thank you guys so much, this software is outstanding, helped me to better my career. You guys rock.
A week after I started studying with Five by Five, I took both the Technician and General exams. While I didn't get my numeric grades, the examiners said that I had done "very, very good" on both test. In retrospect I think I missed one question on the Tech test and probably aced the General. It took no longer than 20 minutes to complete both exams. I didn't encounter a single question on either exam that wasn't covered in some form on your practice test. I think the best use of your practice test was to identify areas where I needed more study. Once I had done that I could go online and research whatever information or concepts I lacked and use the information thus acquired to further my knowledge.
A hearty congratulations to our friends at the Washington State University Amateur Radio Club! The WSU cougars have used Five by Five to great effect in preparing their members for their Amateur exams. Thanks to JK to being kind in sending us this photo!
I used your software and mp3s to study up for the grand trifecta. Yes, I�m a glutton for punishment so I decided to go from NO license straight to Extra Class. I spent a little over a month studying. I�m a professional driver so I listened to the mp3s while driving and studied for around 8 hours total at home each week, between software and reading/memorizing.
1st the Technician test� 15 minutes and aced it no problem. 2nd the General test� 25 minutes with 3-4 problem questions, but passed with flying colors. Then there�s the Extra test� 45 minutes of torture, 15-20 of my "problem questions", equations, circuit diagrams, the whole shebang!
To make a long story short I walked away with my CSCE for Extra and am just waiting for the DCC ULS to show my very first call sign� and it�s going to be EXTRA!
Out of 120 questions I got 103 right which is a 85.8% average between the three. The VEs were all impressed and one said it�s been quite some time since they�ve had somebody test out all three at once.
Thank you for this software and especially for the mp3s, they REALLY helped me remember the material.
Does this software / app work for US Coast Guard (USCG) GMDSS Exams?
Yes! - Just prepare for either Maintainer or Operator, as required. The Coast Guard GMDSS exams are the same as the FCC ones. Just make sure when you purchase you select a package that includes the Commercial exams as the GMDSS exams are part of our FCC Commercial package.
Will Five by Five prepare me for the GROL license that I need to be an avionics technician?
It sure does. Having a GROL is an easy and useful add-on for any aviation mechanic. With a bit of study, in our experience and in the experience of many of our users, you could be ready for the GROL in under a day's sitting with Five by Five.
Does Five by Five include all of the charts and figures I will need?
Absolutely. Everything's included in the download.
What's the difference between the Five by Five software / apps and the audio preparation?
"Five by Five Audio" is our series of audio preps for the FCC commercial and amateur tests. The same basic material is covered in both the software/apps and the audio preps, though the software/apps have slightly more questions, as some questions with a large visual or calculative element are not included in the audio preps. The advantage of the audio preps is, for example, that you can burn the audio prep to a CD for listening to in the car or copy them to your iPod for listening elsewhere. ' Many users get both the software and the audio prep to help minimize their study time. The audio prep can be purchased instead of or together with the software/apps - there is on most platforms a discount for getting both, though to get this you must either purchase the software first and then the audio or both at the same time - there is no discount if you purchase the audio first and then decide to purchase the software later. To learn more about Five by Five audio, click here.
In the PC version, you can print out the charts and figures. You can print out the questions. You can print out result sheets to show your friends. You can even print out lists of questions in a "book" form to study from when you're away from the computer. The iOS and Android versions allow you to read PDFs of the figures which you might be able to print out, though printing from those platforms is a bit nonstandard.
Expensive? Compared to free web sites that offer a sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow HTML interface, perhaps. But Five by Five is very reasonably priced compared to all other books and software that we've seen. This software took hundreds of hours to write - your payment of our modest fees helps pay for things like programming tools and bandwidth, but you get in exchange a tool that is ideal for fast and efficient study - much more so than some website that only seems cheap until you start using it.. and the hours drain away.. ever so slowly.. because you can learn so many more questions in a short amount of time with Five by Five than any HTML-driven website.
Our software and mobile apps are serious things - not amateur efforts. What you're getting there is an exceptionally polished user experience optimized to help you study and learn FAST. It pays for itself in saved time and frustrtation in no time.
If we were out to make serious money, we'd be in a different line of business. We do this because we enjoy it. Hey, don't ask questions like this - just enjoy.
No problem - simply start the order process online. At one point, you will get to a screen that asks you your payment method - you will have a choice there of paying by alternate means (non-credit card) and/or completing your order (telling the sensitive bits) by telephone. That said, please recognize that in over a decade of business we have had zero credit-card purchase related irregularities over our secure server, and this really should be the best way for most people to purchase the software.
Five by Five is not intended to have direct explanations for each questions. Rather, it simply presents the questions in a convenient, highly customizable manner that has been designed to implant the correct answers in your brain. After using this program for a while, the correct answers will start to leap out at you so that in a great many cases you won't even have to read the questions. Actually, at one point, we considered making a version with explanations. This would be a LOT of work (as you might imagine - there are several thousand questions). To our great surprise, when we polled our existing users, the overwhelming consensus was that while explanations might be nice, not having them was just fine as those who wanted to really learn the stuff had supplementary material anyway, and for those who just wanted to learn the tests, what we offer is more than sufficient.
That said, 5x5 also features an integrated "JargonBuster" dictionary. What this is a massive collection of over 5000 ham radio and commercial radio terms and definitions. When you encounter difficult terms in the app, it presents you the opportunity to see the definition without losing your place. In practice, the definitons provided amount to detailed explanations for a significant percentage of the quesions. The definitions feature is very neat. While it is quite new at the time of this writing, we're getting a ton of positive feedback from our users on this. Suffice it to say, none of our competitors have anything even remotely like this.
Can I install the PC software on two machines?
When you register the PC software, you get a personal license to it - this means that you can use it on more than one machine (say, your laptop and desktop) -- as long as it's for YOUR PERSONAL USE ONLY. Please don't let others use your unlocked codes or the software that has been unlocked in your name. We hope you find this arrangement fair.
Don't fret - just let us know about it and we'll take care of it for a future edition. We're generally quite speedy about taking care of such things once somebody lets us know about them. If you have an issue with a particular question, Five by Five features a built-in question issue reporter so that you can let us know about it quickly and easily. In the "Classification" pane, you will see a web link. If you have an issue with a particular question, click as seen below to take you to the problem report page for that question - this will communicate with our back-end systems quickly so that the issue can be looked into ASAP.
My registration key doesn't work / I've lost my registration code / I want to upgrade to the current version!

Is this Software available on CD-ROM?
Unfortunately, no. Not at this time and it is unlikely to be in the future.
Just some guys who like Ham Radio and Airplanes. We're scattered throughout the USA. We've been making this software and keeping it up to date since 1996.
Visit our helpdesk, and go from there. This is good for technical support, pre sales questions, and anything else you can think of!
What happens when new test pools come out?
If history is any guide (and it usually is), we'll update the Five by Five soon-after. Software upgrades are always free to registered users. We have provided the latest official available test pools to our users within a week of their release, and usually considerably sooner, with every change to FCC Commercial and Amateur Radio tests from 1998 to today. During periods when a test changeover is coming to a new test bank, we generally keep both the current and imminent test banks active in our products at the same time so that users can choose what to study based on their test dates. We work hard to keep the software up to date so you have peace of mind!
Tell me more about the tests.
Five by Five will help you prepare for your FCC Amateur and Commercial written exams in the quickest and most painless way possible. Many people are able to be ready for their tests in only an evening or two of study with our software.
The software itself should be rather straightforward to use - simply select the test you're interested in studying for, select the chapters you want to concentrate on, and then select your study or learning mode. There are numerous options that allow you to customize the study, learning, and testing features to suit your best. These should more or less be self-explanatory, but you can also click on the little question mark buttons throughout the software for help with specific items. We have occasionally been asked "what is the best or recommended method to use to learn the material quickly?" There really is no such thing - while we do provide a series of "quick settings" buttons on the test options screen that progress from learning the material through various training modes and finally through simulated exam modes. This can be a reasonable way of studying, but it's just one of many - there is no "right"or "best" way. Please experiment so that you find a mode that works for you!
Yes! this software is 100% what you need to take and pass your FCC written tests (also known as "written elements"). You do not need additional materials to study for and to pass your FCC amateur and/or commercial written tests. This software has helped hundreds of people and will work great for you.
The questions provided by Five by Five are ACTUAL FCC QUESTIONS. They are regularly updated by our editorial staff. To make sure that you have the latest available version of the software and its data, click on 'Program Updates Check' from the main menu and use the built-in self-update tool. It is recommended that you do this regularly - while the questions don't tend to change too often, it never hurts to be sure.
This software features LIFETIME FREE UPDATES to registered users in good standing. What this means is that, for example, if you are planning on doing your Amateur (Ham Radio) exams now, you can take the Technician exam now, and when you're ready for the General or Extra, simply use the built-in self-update and study as you need to. The software is ready for you!

The amateur and amateur-satellite services are for qualified persons of any age who are interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest. These services present an opportunity for self-training, intercommunication, and technical investigations. Twenty-seven small frequency bands throughout the spectrum are allocated to this service internationally. Some 1,300 digital, analog, pulse, and spread-spectrum emission types may be transmitted.
Millions of amateur operators in all areas of the world communicate with each other directly or through ad hoc relay systems and amateur-satellites. They exchange messages by voice, telephoning, telegraphy, facsimile, and television. In areas where the FCC regulates the services, an amateur operator must have an FCC or Canadian license. FCC-issued Reciprocal Permit for Alien Amateur Licensee are no longer needed. Reciprocal operation in the U.S. is now authorized by Section 47 C.F.R. ?? 97.107.
All frequencies are shared. No frequency is assigned for the exclusive use of any amateur station. Station control operators cooperate in selecting transmitting channels to make the most effective use of the frequencies. They design, construct, modify, and repair their stations. The FCC equipment authorization program does not generally apply to amateur station transmitters.
The current classes are: Technician, General, and Extra (also known as "Amateur Extra".
Technician Class: The privileges of a Technician Class operator license include operating an amateur station that may transmit on channels in any of 17 frequency bands above 50 MHz with up to 1,500 watts of power. To pass the Technician Class examination, at least 26 questions from a 35 question written examination must be answered correctly. Technician Class licensees also have privileges in four amateur service bands in the HF range (3-30 MHz) (Refer to Section 97.301(e)).
General Class: The General Class operator license authorizes privileges in all 27 amateur service bands. Upon accreditation by a Volunteer-Examiner Coordinator (VEC), an individual can help administer certain examinations. In addition to the above written examination, the requirement for a General Class operator license includes a 35 question written examination for which 26 correctly answered questions is the minimum passing score.
Amateur Extra: The privileges of an Amateur Extra Class operator license include additional spectrum in the HF bands. In addition to the two above written examinations, the requirement for an Amateur Extra Class operator license includes answering correctly at least 37 questions on a 50 question written examination.
Additionally there are a few grandfathered (still valid, but not offered to new licensees) classes.
Operation of an amateur station requires an amateur operator license grant from the FCC. Before receiving a license grant, you must pass an examination administered by a team of volunteer examiners (VEs). The VEs determine the license operator class for which you are qualified through the testing of your skills and abilities in operating an amateur station. You can contact a VE team in your community to make arrangements for being administered the examination elements you desire. If you need assistance in finding a VE team in your area, contact a Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC).
After you successfully complete the exam, the VEC collects your Form 605 document from your VE team and, after carefully screening it, forwards the information thereon to the FCC for processing, usually electronically. The VEC may also handle registering an examinee with the FCC. Your operating authority begins when your license grant information appears on the amateur service licensee database of the Universal Licensing System.
International treaty requirements for Morse Code exams for Amateur Radio licenses using frequencies below 30MHz were have been nullified. Countries including the US have been reviewing and revising their regulations and are now free to remove all Morse Code requirements. "No-code" licenses which did not require any Morse Code examinations were available only for the Technician Class license from 1991 to 2007, and limited those licensees only to operation above 30MHz. That was most of what modern Hams wanted... use of handheld and mobile radios, Amateur Radio satellites, packet radio and most modern/digital modes.
As of February 23, 2007, Morse Code examinations are no longer required by the FCC. All three license classes, Technician, General and Extra, can be attained by written exams alone and have their HF privileges. The frequencies available to each class of license have not changed. In short - YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW MORSE CODE FOR ANY HAM RADIO LICENSE.
VECs coordinate the efforts of Volunteer Examiners (VEs) in preparing and administering amateur service operator license examinations. The coordinating VEC screens collected information, resolves all discrepancies, and forwards all required data to the FCC electronically. All VECs are authorized to coordinate examination sessions at any location an examination can be administered. A VEC, however, may choose to limit its area of operation to a particular geographical area.
An FCC-accredited Volunteer Examiner Coordinator (VEC) organization will hold the local exams which you will take to get your license. These exams occur in most metropolitan areas and many rural locations across the US. They are only held at pre-announced times and locations. To find the nearest VEC, please visit the FCC list of VEC organizations. The fees for the exams payable to the VECs are usually modest - as of 2008 generally less than $15 per exam.
The answer depends on whether you wish to operate or repair and maintain radio stations. If you only intend to operate a radio station, read the Radio Operations paragraphs below. If you intend to operate, repair, and maintain radio stations, read the Radio Maintenance and Repair paragraphs below.
CAUTION: These listings only describe when a commercial operator license is necessary. A commercial operator license does not constitute or imply FCC authorization to transmit radio signals. Before you operate any radio station, make certain that the station is licensed as required by the FCC. Citizens band and Radio Control radio stations do not require individual station licenses.

Grading The Kirk Hinrich Deal
Steve O Speak
Steve Shoup
WIZARDS GET:
PG MIKE BIBBY, G JORDAN CRAWFORD, SF MAURICE EVANS, 2011 1ST ROUND PICK
HAWKS GET:
PG KIRK HINRICH, C/PF HILTON ARMSTRONG
WASHINGTON'S GRADE: A-
I absolutely love this deal for the Wizards, and in fact I fail to see any downside. Mike Bibby might no longer be the Mike Bibby of 1998, in fact he's not even the Mike Bibby of 2008, but he still has a place in the NBA. He can give the Wizards valuable veteran minutes off the bench, while at the same time mentor John Wall. Is there a talent drop off between Hinrich and Bibby? Of course, but it isn't so much so that it is a real negative for this trade. Bibby was at one time on a higher plateau than Hinrich has been on, making him an even better example for Wall to follow.
The real area where the Wizards win in this trade is with Jordan Crawford and a first round pick in this draft. Crawford was a first round draft pick this past April, and a player I had long hoped the Wizards would acquire. He is an impressive young combo guard, who can create off the dribble, or be deadly sitting behind the arc. Crawford's numbers don't jump out at you, but he's only averaged 10 minutes per game this season, and couldn't crack the Hawks back court rotation of Bibby, Jeff Teague, Jamal Crawford, and Joe Johnson. I'm guessing he fairs better with the Wizards, and he has great developmental potential down the road. While it is a down draft, and it will likely be a pick in the early-to-mid 20's, the Wizards should still be able to find a quality player there. If not they could always trade the pick for a player, or a future draft consideration.
This was a no-brainer deal for the Wizards as Crawford alone would have been enough to make the trade worthwhile, adding a first rounder was the icing on the cake for Washington. While this move alone doesn't help make the Wizards contenders, they added two promising young prospects for a player that was superfluous to their team.
ATLANTA'S GRADE: C
I understand the Hawks needed to make some sort of move as they head into the playoffs, but I'm not sure that this is the right move. Hinrich is a little bit better than Bibby, but we aren't talking about a vast improvement. While barring a major injury they won't miss Crawford this season, I'm thinking they could miss him next year, when Jamal Crawford is a free agent and likely to leave. I do think that Hinrich could flourish in Atlanta given the level of talent around him, and his unselfish attitude, but I just get the feeling the Hawks will regret this trade. Had they even added another role player I might have understood this deal for their playoff run, but Armstrong is completely inconsequential. He is only going to see minutes if Atlanta is up or down by 20+ points, and even then he's not going to do much for them. The Hawks may be better this season, but I'm guessing by next year Jordan Crawford alone will have turned the deal in Washington's favor.

On any given day, I wake up around seven in the morning in my room at the Philosophy House. It's an ordinary residential home in Downtown Toronto, near the University of Toronto. I have enough space for my bed, my desk, and a bookshelf. The bathrooms are shared but there's usually enough of them to go around. There are about twelve persons in my community; we are all Jesuits. There's a kitchen, a dining room, some guest rooms, a room to watch TV, and of course a chapel where we have our daily mass.
There is no determined schedule in the morning. I like to pray Morning Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours before I start the day. That involves reading some texts of the Psalms and doing a slow, meditative contemplation of the fact that I am a creature in the presence of my creator, who is my source of love and hope. This usually takes me about forty-five minutes or so.
After a shave and a shower I head downstairs to the kitchen and have some toast with PB & J. Breakfast conversations are always interesting in a house full of academics. We usually comment on the newspaper. I dress like any student would – t-shirts or a collared shirt if something special is going on. There are no uniforms or cassocks, though I can wear a clerical shirt if there is a special occasion.
After breakfast I usually head to class. I'm lucky in that I can walk to school. I carry a notebook and something for lunch on most days. The classes are mostly regular university classes. I'm completing a Masters in Philosophy. I pick my own courses subject to the approval of a program coordinator who makes sure I'm getting everything I need.
The goal of Jesuits in formation is to have a strong grounding in philosophy in order to know how to think. They use these tools to approach all other problems. It's not just a process of learning facts but a pedagogy of teaching analysis, communication, problem-solving, etc.
Oftentimes I'll hang out with the other students after class to discuss things. It's nice to hear everyone's stories: where they come from, why they study. Most of my classmates are regular philosophy students, not Jesuits. I've been kindly invited to a few of their homes. Most of them are married, just starting out. It's wonderful to make friends with people my age who share common interests. Most of them are quite curious about me as a vowed religious as well.
Vowed means that while I am not yet a priest, I still follow the ancient religious rules of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Nothing I use is owned by me, it belongs to the community. I will not get married and will live my sexuality with modesty and affective maturity. And I will follow the rules of what it means to be a Jesuit. The rules can be summed up pretty simply: love God, love your Jesuit brothers and all people, and love yourself.
When I need to go somewhere, other than school, I take the subway. If I have a budget concern I fill in a budget form. If I want to make a change to my schedule, I think on how it will effect me and the people around me. We all want the freedom to do whatever we like. But once we have that freedom, we only ever truly desire to use it to shape our lives according to the people we love.
When I have no class, I usually have reading, researching, and writing to do. For entertainment I like reading web-comics. In the evening, at 5:30 p.m., the whole community gathers in the chapel. We, the students, are often called upon to serve at the mass, read, or give reflections on the scripture of the day. We're formed in liturgy over the course of the year; this makes sense as we'll be leading liturgy ourselves in the future. After the mass everyone gathers to spend some time together before dinner, chatting about the day and trading quips and jokes.
All the housekeeping chores are divided up among the group. It usually goes pretty smoothly as everyone is here because we want to be. Thanks largely to a balance of work and play, an attitude of serving rather than being served, and humour. We have time for fun and we have time to really talk and say what's on our minds.
At the end of the day, I always pray the Examen, a method the Jesuits use to review the days events and understand the flow of one's own emotions and habits. We believe that every event, every feeling we experienced during the day, was a way of God communicating to us. It might be through happy events or sad. We may have responded well or poorly. But God works in all situations.
That is what I do. That's what a day in my life, as a Jesuit, looks like.

Lemon Parade is the debut album of American rock band Tonic, released on July 16, 1996, by Polydor Records. The album has sold 1,300,000 copies to date and reached platinum status in the United States. Lemon Parade featured three singles. "If You Could Only See" was a hit single on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks charts, reaching number one, and it also reached number 11 on the Billboard Airplay Hot 100, spending 63 weeks on the chart.

Based on the success of Lemon Parade, in March 1999, Tonic released a live EP with enhanced material entitled Live and Enhanced.

In 2016, Tonic released an all-acoustic version of Lemon Parade entitled Lemon Parade Revisited. This celebrated the album's 20th anniversary and utilized direct funding from fans.

Production
After Emerson Hart and Jeff Russo founded the band in 1993, the additions of bass guitar player Dan Rothchild and drummer Kevin Shepard solidified the band prior to signing their record deal in 1995. Producer Jack Joseph Puig worked with Tonic to produce the resulting album, Lemon Parade. While members of the band have traditionally been hesitant to discuss the meaning behind their songs, Hart did elaborate on some of the songs from this album. For instance, on the title track "Lemon Parade", Hart explained the song came from a dream he had.
"I had a dream about this girl. I was riding this big Schwinn Sting Ray, and I rode by her working in a lemonade stand. She looked ugly and sad because kids were throwing lemons at her. Then later on, I saw her after high school and was crazy about her. They couldn't see how beautiful she really was."

Promotion and release
Four unique music videos were produced as part of the album's promotion, including two different versions of "Open Up Your Eyes", one of which was directed by Tonic and Niels Alpert that featured the band on roller skates and a cameo appearance by Mick Fleetwood. In terms of singles from the record, "If You Could Only See" reached number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks, and also reached number 11 on the Billboard Airplay Hot 100, where it spent 63 weeks on the chart. Lemon Parade reached number 28 on the Billboard 200, number 12 in Australia, and number 34 on the Canadian Albums Chart. In the ensuing years the popularity of "If You Could Only See" continued with its part in the video games Karaoke Revolution Party and Band Hero.

Reception

Critical response to Lemon Parade was mixed. Music critic Shawn M. Haney rated the album two and a half out of five stars, saying, "The record as a whole is full of the heavy, distortion-laden Tonic sound, and guitars that make them who they are. Although the recordings are murky at times, like shoes splashing through muddy puddles of water, the record's highlights -- such as the uplifting acoustic track 'Mountain' and the rawness of 'Wicked Soldier'—are still full of rich musical creativity."

Lebanon has long been a hub for commerce and political concern from various interests. A diverse mix of communities and governance issues have aroused the concern of neighbouring states at different times. Lebanon has housed waves of Palestinian refugees and more recently Syrians fleeing conflict, placing a significant strain on the country's resources.

School management and teacher training
Psychosocial support
The crisis in Syria has dramatically impacted neighbouring countries, especially Lebanon. With an uncertain end to the conflict, Palestinian refugees and Syrians experience profound hardship, unemployment, poverty and insecurity. Effectively, the situation in Syria has had an adverse impact on the education prospects of many Syrian, Palestinian and poor Lebanese children. Alone, Lebanon has to date registered approximately 800,000 Syrian refugees – 300,000 of whom are children. 80 percent of those children are out of school.
At present, UNRWA estimates that Lebanon hosts approximately 44,000 Palestinians from Syria who are also in desperate need of assistance. Moreover, Lebanon's Ministry of Education and Higher Education remains under resourced and struggles to serve the expanded caseloads of vulnerable Syrian refugees in public schools. The influx of displaced children from Syria has nearly doubled the number of education spaces necessary in Lebanon.
To help address the plight of Palestinian and Syrian children in Lebanon who have been affected by the conflict in Syria, EAC has partnered with UNRWA and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to increase education access to OOSC; provide a psychosocial and survival skills support system; deliver learning content adapted to the aggravated setting; improve the quality of teaching; ensure safe learning environments; construct/rehabilitate learning spaces; and train school management staff.

Equitable Access to Education for Out of School Children Affected by the Crisis in Syria
The crisis in Syria is now in its fifth year and every day the risk of a lost generation of children grows. Nearly 14 million children have been affected by escalating conflict. Half of all Syrians are displaced and close to 2 million children have fled for neighboring countries and are living in overcrowded camps, inadequate informal settlements, or host communities, where tensions are rising between refugee and local populations.
Reconstruction & Rehabilitation of Education Institutions Affected by the Beirut Port Explosion
In the aftermath of the explosion at the Beirut Port in Lebanon in August 2020, EAC and UNESCO have come together to help rebuild and rehabilitate the city's damaged education infrastructure.

14 Can cholestasis be treated?
15 Can cholestasis resolve itself?
16 What does poop look like with cholestasis?
17 What foods are good for cholestasis?
Is Cholangiohepatitis in dogs painful?
Canine cholangiohepatitis is most commonly associated with disorders causing stasis of bile flow, biliary mucocele formation, cholelithiasis, and surgical manipulations of the biliary tree. Clinical signs include anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, PU/PD, fever, and abdominal pain.
Is Cholangiohepatitis curable?
In cases of acute cholangiohepatitis, the prognosis is usually good, sometimes leading to a cure. Cats who become lethargic and stop eating should be seen by their vet to test for a return of this condition.
What causes dog cholestasis?
Cholestasis can occur due to number of underlying diseases, including diseases of the liver, gallbladder, or pancreas. Miniature schnauzers and Shetland sheepdogs are predisposed to pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and are incidentally at higher risk for developing cholestasis.
What is cholangitis in a dog?
Cholangitis-Cholangiohepatitis Syndrome in Dogs. Inflammation of the bile ducts and intrahepatic ducts — the ducts that carry bile out of the liver — is medically referred to as Cholangitis.
How do dogs get Cholangiohepatitis?
Cholangiohepatitis in dogs occurs most commonly due to a bacterial or viral infection. Bacteria gain access to the gall bladder and bile ducts from the intestinal tract, but bacterial and viral infections can be spread through the bloodstream as well.
What is the cause of Cholangiohepatitis?
Neutrophilic cholangiohepatitis is generally caused by a bacterial infection that travels from the intestinal tract into the gall bladder and bile ducts. In some patients, the inflammation continues after the infection is cleared, and becomes a secondary immune-mediated condition.
Is cholangitis an infection?
Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile duct system. The bile duct system carries bile from your liver and gallbladder into the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum). In most cases cholangitis is caused by a bacterial infection, and often happens suddenly.
What causes inflammation of the liver in dogs?
The most common causes of inflammatory liver disease in dogs include non-specific reactive hepatitis, chronic hepatitis (CH) and acute hepatitis (AH). Other common causes of hepatic disease in dogs include neoplasia, vascular anomalies (ie. portosystemic shunts) and biliary tract disorders.
What medications cause pancreatitis in dogs?
These include cholinesterase inhibitors, calcium, potassium bromide, phenobarbital, l-asparaginase, estrogen, salicylates, azathioprine, thiazide diuretics, and vinca alkaloids. There may, in some cases, be a genetic predisposition.
What are the signs of liver failure in a dog?
The signs of liver failure in dogs are jaundice, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, spontaneous bleeding, and dependent edeoma-swollen lower limbs. Treatment of liver failure is directed toward treating the liver disease that is causing it.
Can a dog recover from liver damage?
Because the liver is an organ that has the ability to regenerate, pets can sometimes return to perfectly normal lives even after near-death acute liver failure experiences.
Is cholestasis a disease?
Cholestasis is a liver disease. It occurs when the flow of bile from your liver is reduced or blocked. Bile is fluid produced by your liver that aids in the digestion of food, especially fats. When bile flow is altered, it can lead to a buildup of bilirubin.
Is cholestasis life threatening?
Cholestasis is a life-threatening condition that can cause severe pregnancy complications like stillbirth. Unfortunately, stillbirths due to cholestasis cannot be prevented even with constant monitoring of the baby via ultrasound or with the help of medications.
Can cholestasis be treated?
Taking a prescription drug called ursodiol (Actigall, Urso, Urso Forte), which helps to lower the level of bile in your blood. Other medications to relieve itching may also be an option. Soaking itchy areas in cool or lukewarm water.
Can cholestasis resolve itself?
You can get back to normal when your bile starts to flow the right way. You may need to change your medicine, have surgery, or get treatment for another disease. If you're pregnant, your cholestasis will resolve when your baby is born. Some causes of cholestasis may need long-term dietary and medical treatment.
What does poop look like with cholestasis?
During normal digestion, bile gives our stool its color. Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy can, in some cases, interfere with the flow of bile to such an extent that bile does not reach the intestines to give the stool its typical appearance, causing it to be pale gray clay colored.
What foods are good for cholestasis?
Foods to eat include:
whole fruits and vegetables.
lean meats.
beans and other legumes.
nuts, seeds, and healthy oils such as olive oil.
whole grains such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta, barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, and other grains.

What is the structure of the artery?
What is the floor of the skull?
What is the function of the lens of the eye quizlet?
What is the function of the roof of the mouth?
What is the function of the mediastinum?

Voucher Program Spurs Better Public Schools, Study Argues
By ELIZABETH GREEN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | September 19, 2007
https://www.nysun.com/new-york/voucher-program-spurs-better-public-schools-study/62940/
As a voucher program in Milwaukee has expanded, taking money and pupils out of public schools, the schools have responded by ramping up their own performance, a forthcoming study in the Journal of Public Economics argues.
The paper offers one of the most positive conclusions yet drawn in the heated debate over the effects of the 17-year-old Milwaukee program, which in 2007 sent more than 17,000 low-income Milwaukee students to private schools via publicly funded scholarships. It is the nation's largest publicly funded voucher experiment, having grown from seven participating private schools in 1990 to 121 in 2007.
At issue is whether the program has appreciably helped the students who are given places in private schools, as well whether it has hurt the students who stay in public schools.
The soon-to-be-published paper, by a Harvard University-trained economist who is now at the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Rajashri Chakrabarti, answers the second question with a solid no. Ms. Chakrabarti argues that two major changes in the program pushed public schools to improve after 1999.
The first was a court ruling that allowed religious schools — which in Milwaukee are primarily Catholic and Lutheran — to join the voucher program, giving students many more options to choose from. The second was a funding change that raised the amount of money public schools lost when a student left the school via a voucher.
Ms. Chakrabarti's analysis compares Milwaukee schools from which students left via vouchers to public schools outside the city with similar demographics that did not participate in the program. She found only small relative improvements in the Milwaukee schools' reading, language arts, and math scores prior to the two changes, but describes "a different picture" after they took effect, with affected public schools showing bigger improvements. She also found improvements in science and social studies, which were not tested until the late 1990s.
A political science professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison who has studied the Milwaukee program for years, John Witte, said any conclusion linking big effects directly to the rise of vouchers should be met with suspicion. Several factors make drawing a direct link to vouchers difficult, he said.
"Changes of superintendents, changes of school boards, changes of curriculum — the list of other things that could have an effect is as long as your arm," Mr. Witte said.
His own recent study of the program, undertaken with a professor at Stanford University, Martin Carnoy, who has been critical of vouchers in the past, studied the effects of the vouchers alongside the effects of other alternatives to public school in Milwaukee, such as charter schools and a program that allows inner-city students to transfer to schools in the suburbs, Mr. Witte said.
According to that analysis, only charter schools spurred a competitive improvement in public schools, and that effect was small, Mr. Witte said.
Messrs. Carnoy and Witte have quibbled with previous positive voucher studies, including one by a Stanford economist, Caroline Hoxby, whose results Mr. Witte said he could not replicate in a follow-up study. In comments published on the Talking Points Memo Web site this summer, Mr. Carnoy, who did not respond to a request for comment yesterday, argued that evidence of positive effects from voucher programs is so sparse that future programs should be tabled.
But an education professor at the University of Arkansas, Jay Greene, praised Ms. Chakrabarti's design, saying it appeared to control for outside variables carefully. He characterized previous studies by Ms. Chakrabarti as having been fair, drawing both favorable and unfavorable conclusions about vouchers.
"She does honestly call them as she sees them," Mr. Greene said. Ms. Chakrabarti told The New York Sun that her paper's policy indications are clear. Though the early version of the Milwaukee program "did not have much of a bite," her paper argues, the changes in the late 1990s "led to significant improvement in performance of the treated public schools."
"Design matters," she said, summarizing her paper's implications.

School vouchers and school choice are about parents choosing the most appropriate educational setting for their children. Instead of the government deciding where children will attend school, school choice allows parents to decide where their children will be educated. Parents can choose between public schools, private schools, charter schools, or home schooling. School choice allows all parents, regardless of income or ethnicity, to decide the best educational environment for their children. School choice policies can take the form of vouchers, individual or corporate tax credits, and fewer restrictions on charter school development. For more information, visit www.paths2choice.com.

The concept of Coworking is a revolutionary trend that is transforming the real estate sector. Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment, often an office. But unlike in a typical office environment, cowork users are usually not employed by the same organization; hence the main idea is that individual workers come together in a shared place to enjoy greater productivity and a sense of community.
Co-working is rapidly expanding and has transcended its origins as a functional alternative to the cliché traditional office space. Today, a broad range of businesses ranging from technology and professional service firms to consumer product companies, form a growing network that recognises the value of flexibility, community and shared resources.
In recent years, there has been a phenomenal rise in the adoption and impact of coworking globally and Africa. Various Sub-Saharan countries like South-Africa, Nigeria, Kenya among others have a number of shared space offices.
1. Flexibility: Big companies, as well as start-up firms, are being challenged to support more mobile and flexible forms of working.
There is also growing pressure to bring more flexibility to the real estate portfolio and create greater volumes of on-demand space. Coworking can help satisfy this growing demand for dexterity, variability, and liquidity of space, whilst allowing companies to experiment in a ring-fenced environment without the need for organisation-wide change.
2. Workspace Design: This is such a growing trend that is resulting in the upsurge of 'experiential spaces' to cater to those companies who want to push their shared office experience to the next level.
Many spaces, in a bid to secure the best and brightest tenants, are including a variety of enticing services and facilities, some of which includes: in-house gyms and fitness classes, workshops and opportunities to learn new skills, as well as social areas, such as cafes and bars.
Organizations are basically utilizing coworking models to tap into innovative ideas, technology and also to collaborate with start-ups. It is believed that a collaborative work environment positively linked to innovation, which is one of the key drivers of business growth. Coworking space can provide a positive atmosphere for creative thinking and access to new ideas, approaches, or technologies.
4. Coworking on Demand: We are currently in an era where technology has fast-tracked service delivery and people expect almost everything on-demand.
Plugging into this wave by establishing instant access to co-working facilities that suit individual needs is clearly the way forward. Start-up businesses and entrepreneurs should no longer have to wait weeks or go through lengthy admin processes to find their perfect desk space or meeting room.
Why Service Providers Need To Unite.
The stage is set for sub-Saharan Africa to fully integrate this new era in coworking brought about by the advent of new technology and emerging coworking trends. Organisations are plugging into this initiative as a means to cut down on overhead cost, drive innovation, build community and optimize productivity among others.
Exhibiting your services and spaces to prospective clients and also enlightening them on the benefits of becoming your tenants.
Considering the rate at which technological advancement is growing, it is important to keep up with the changing pace and stay updated with the tech innovations and solutions. It was technology that initiated the workplace revolution, and now it is the time that technology powers the workplace evolution.
