Kid Kapichi Release Sweet EP 'Sugar Tax'
Today, alt rock collective Kid Kapichi have dropped their punchy EP Sugar Tax, which sees them progressing faster than anyone predicted.
The four-piece from East Sussex have punk undertones that resemble Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes but with a pop edge that's helped them gain mass appeal across the board. Sugar Tax follows on from 2018's Lucozade Dreams, and has a far more raucous feel.
Already Heard rated it 4/5, stating "Unafraid to explore and with plenty to say, Sugar Tax is everything its leading single promises. Wholly confident, from the blistering opening to its more unusual avenues, it proves Kid Kapichi have the potential to be your new rock n' roll heroes."
Rock Sins agree, ranking it 8/10 and adding "To think of the prowess with which this band can write on a debut release is truly exciting, and we can only hope that the plaudits they deserve come their way, and a full length is on the horizon."
Kerrang! also add that "The posturing lyrics of opening track 'Glitterati' make for an undeniable earworm, while the bass-driven, dual vocal assault of 'Revolver' impresses, but it's the riffy social commentary of […] '2019' that works best"
Kid Kapichi have also released the music video for closing track 'Death Dips' which you can also check out below!

Datasheets are used by customers as a guide whenever it is their first time to use a product. Also, datasheets can serve as references if people have questions and inquiries about the features of the product. With this, it is important for businesses to include instances and circumstances where the datasheet can be used within the actual content of the document.
Now that you can answer the question what is a balance sheet. Let's look at how to read a balance sheet. Investors, creditors, and internal management use the balance sheet to evaluate how the company is growing, financing its operations, and distributing to its owners. A single sheet won't tell you that much about the company, but a comparative report that shows two to three years of trend will tell you how cash is being spent, the amount of debt being paid off, and the level of investments being made each year. It will also show the if the company is funding its operations with profits or debt.

6. Telegram From the Department of State to the Embassy in Israel0
79. Following July 17 meeting to hear Israel's views of Arab-Israel arms balance (Dept pouching to Tel Aviv details this presentation which designed emphasize Israel's vulnerability to low-level air attack),1 Talbot reviewed with Israel Ambassador Harman following results of recent intensive USG study several major aspects US-Israel relations:2
- As accommodations to Israel views, Talbot said that:
- 1.
- USG has reiterated its concern for security and well-being of Israel.
- 2.
- US has confirmed its approval and readiness give appropriate diplomatic support Israel's planned water withdrawals from Lake Tiberias provided these adhere Johnston Plan allocations. Israel has given reciprocal assurances. This exchange is solid foundation upon which consider in coming months steps which may usefully be taken by Israel and US to ensure that execution of Israel's projects has minimum disruptive consequence for area stability.
- 3.
- US has examined previous practice of taking initiative in giving its views on status of Jerusalem to other governments when we learn establishment of a diplomatic mission in Israel is being considered. We have decided practice can be discontinued without consequence for our position on status of Jerusalem. We will continue regard interests of international community as paramount and precluding recognition of Israel's claims to Jerusalem as its national capital. This voluntary action [Page 13]and fact we have not taken stronger position closure FLO3 should not be construed as watering down of our stand on principle nor as inference we would acquiesce in moves by Israel which we would regard as eroding principle such as requesting that official Americans obtain visas for travel within corpus separatum or that US consular officers in Jerusalem obtain Israel exequaturs.4
- 4.
- While not prepared subsidize any fixed number of spaces, we willing support training in Israel of third country nationals on normal case-by-case basis and provided training in Israel clearly makes best sense for US programs.
- 5.
- Foregoing accommodations should be viewed against background of "uniquely generous" US economic assistance to Israel.
- Talbot said that as consequence
US deep concern for stiffening fibres area stability against new
tensions which will be caused by Israel's water withdrawal and in
keeping USG objective of facilitating establishment permanent peace
between Israel and Arab states:
- 1.
- US gratified have Israel's pledge that retaliatory raid has been abandoned as an adjunct of Israel policy toward Arab states and full use of UN machinery will instead be Israel's policy in efforts prevent serious trouble on frontiers. US will naturally continue use its influence seek restraint by Arabs.
- 2.
- US reviewing with UN several proposals for strengthening UNTSO. We hope these will shortly be put into discussion with Israel and other states concerned.
- 3.
- Department has carefully considered Ambassador's July 6 comments re desirability move for direct negotiations resolution at 17th General Assembly (Deptel 22 to Tel Aviv).5 We do not think such resolution would realistically contribute progress nor can we concur Israel's estimate its tactical utility for UN consideration of Johnson mission. On contrary, [Page 14] we see renewal moves for such resolution as certain feed immoderate Arab influences and place further obstacles in Johnson's path. We strongly and seriously urge Israel not pursue this course. US views will be made clear to other governments which seek them.
Re accommodations cited Section I, Harman expressed appreciation.
Re retaliatory raid, Harman said there might be situations such as prolonged series provocations by Arabs which would compel Israel take action restore the peace on its borders to which it entitled. Talbot said it important break cycle provocation and reaction.
Re UNTSO, Harman asked for opportunity present Israel views on strengthening this body, to which Talbot assented.
Re direct negotiations res, Harman asked whether US has abandoned its attachment to UN Charter and support of principle for concept of direct negotiations. He dissented sharply from US estimate tactical undesirability for Johnson mission of renewed proposal similar to 16-power Brazzaville res at 16th GA.6 Requested opportunity present Israel's views in detail and undertake general discussion Near East 17th GA issues at early opportunity. Talbot said Department would be glad hear Israel's views if Israel comes to assessment different from ours; i.e, if Israel concludes direct negotiations res will genuinely contribute to optimum atmosphere for advancing Johnson mission which is to USG of "extraordinary importance".
For USUN: In line Talbot statement II(3), Mission authorized express this US attitude re introduction direct negotiations res at 17th GA to such other delegations as may inquire. However, we wish avoid lobbying against this move.

- During the afternoon of July 17, U.S. and Israeli representatives held a lengthy discussion on the Israeli view of the Israel-Arab military balance. Ambassador Harman headed the Israeli delegation; Talbot headed the U.S. delegation. A summary record of the meeting's proceedings is ibid., NEA/IAI Files: Lot 70 D 304, U.S./Israel Discussions July 17, 1962.↩
- Talbot's July 17 conversation with Harman was recorded in two memoranda of conversation. (Ibid., Central Files, 611.84A/7–1762) A briefing memorandum from Strong to Talbot, prepared on July 16, is ibid., 611.84A/7–1662. It proposed that Talbot raise privately with Harman the subject of "Israel Embassy's Improper Efforts To Influence US Relations With a Third Country" by giving a U.S. journalist "inaccurate and misleading" information about UAR arms purchases. A marginal note on the briefing memorandum next to this point reads: "not raised." A legal opinion on the subject is in a memorandum from Hewitt (L/NEA) to Strong, July 6. (Ibid., 811.0086B/7–662)↩
- On July 6, the Israeli Government informed the Embassy in Tel Aviv that as of July 15 Israel would close its Foreign Liaison Office in Tel Aviv. Henceforth foreign governments with Embassies in Tel Aviv should send all communications directly to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem. After consultations with French, British, and Italian representatives in Tel Aviv, the Embassy advised that nothing could be done about the decision, which would have little effect on Embassy business. (Telegram 27 from Tel Aviv, July 6; ibid., 784A.13/7–662) The text of the U.S. note to the Israeli Government expressing regret over the FLO's closure is ibid., NEA/IAI Files: Lot 70 D 229, Status of Jerusalem.↩
- The Israeli Embassy followed up on the subject of the U.S. use of the term corpus separatum in regard to Jerusalem during discussions with U.S. officials on July 20 and 30 and August 6. On July 30 Strong qualified Talbot's remarks by indicating that Talbot's use of the term corpus separatum was in a geographic sense. (Memorandum of conversation, August 6; ibid., Central Files, 611.84/8-662) Additional information is in a memorandum from Ludlow to Crawford, August 8 (ibid., 684A.85/8-862), and a memorandum from Hewitt to Crawford, August 10 (ibid., 684A.85/8-1062).↩

Please turn CC on for English subtitles. Canon 8K technology was demonstrated with a prototype camera body during Inter BEE 2018. We talked about it with Toshiyuki Akimoto from Canon who is responsible for the development of 8K monitors and cameras. 8K resolution is slowly making its way in the line-ups of camera manufacturers. During Inter BEE 2018 we saw an interesting 8K camera concept from Astro. RED of course has already had working 8K cinema cameras for a while with their MONSTRO and HELIUM cinema cameras. Panasonic claims to have an 8K capable camera for the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. Now Canon also presented their 8K cinema camera concept. The Canon 8K camera concept presented at Inter BEE 2018 has quite a compact body very similar to the Canon C300 Mark II. It will have a super 35mm sensor and an 8K processing unit inside and mind you that recording will not be done internally. You will have to find and attach an external 8K recording solution. According to Canon, the purpose of this demonstration is to research the market and to gather the customer's opinion regarding future 8K demand. Since this 8K camera is still only a prototype and future technology demonstration, there is no detailed explanation of its functions or ergonomics yet. The presented camera, however, looks to being very close to the production stage. Canon has in fact already demonstrated the same system at the "Canon Expo" in 2015. It seems that Canon has had 8K technology for quite a while already. We can only guess the reason for not releasing a Canon 8K capable camera til now was because the 8K market has not grown enough yet. 8K is being promoted mainly in Japan – there were very few 8K demonstrations at international trade shows like NAB or IBC. As Akimoto-san describes in the above video, Canon is observing the market and they are also trying to find other markets than the broadcast and cinema divisions. Even though creating a beautiful image with high resolution shooting is the straight forward usage for a Canon 8K camera, there are other areas that can benefit widely from the ultra-high resolution. For example in the scientific or security field 8K can be very beneficial mostly because of the additional flexibility to zoom-in the picture after it was recorded. Finding a specific person in a crowd would be a typical example of the usage in the security field. In a similar manner as Panasonic, Akimoto-san mentioned the Olympic games in Tokyo in 2020 as a possible time for the release of a Canon 8K camera. We can probably also expect more affordable 8K consumer displays to be available by then. What do you think of the Canon 8K concept camera? When do you think we can expect a real 8K boom in the broadcast and cinema industry? Let us know in the comments underneath the article.Read more

The Canon C300 Mark II price has dropped by another $2,000, which brings it to the under-$10K price bracket. This is great news for prospective buyers, but not so great for those who purchased the camera at full-price. The Canon C300 mark II price drop was expected, after the announcement of the new C200 (review here) less than a month ago. Many people rightfully criticised the large price difference between the two cameras, where the C200 was more affordable, yet offered some advanced features over the C300 mark II. When the Canon C300 Mark II was initially introduced, it was out of reach for many filmmakers due to its $15,999 price tag. Despite its advanced and very desirable colour science, Canon faced heavy competition from cameras like the Sony FS7 or Blackmagic URSA Mini. In July 2016, we reported the first C300 mark II price drop, which was a significant $4000. Now we're closing in on its 2nd anniversary, but the C300 Mark II is still a competitive and interesting camera, especially at a price of $10,000. We have gone through the camera's features in detail in previous articles, including a full review, all its pros & cons, and a lab test. Check out some video shot on the Canon C300 mark II in our videolog.Read more

We're here at NAB 2016 and ran into Canon's technical mastermind Larry Thorpe who talked to us about an upcoming firmware update for the Canon C300 mark II, improving C300 mark II dynamic range and introducing C Log 3. You might have read one of our articles on the Canon C300 mark II dynamic range. There has been a debate wether the advertised 15 stops can be considered a realistic claim or not and it was partly my fault for having caused that discussion with my lab test. For us at cinema5D it is all about giving you, the readers a perspective when it comes to making an informed decision on cinema gear. That's why we have started comparing cameras with equal standards and in comparison to the 14-stop Arri Alexa the C300 mark II dynamic range lacked behind, so we rated it lower. It was nice for me to see that Canon's Larry Thorpe is still open to talk about their technology with us and it is always a pleasure to meet him and talk about camera science. In particular he told us about a Canon C300 mark II firmware update they have planned for July 28th of 2016 and about his perspective of the future of 8K cinematography. Canon C300 mark II firmware update The firmware update will introduce C Log 3, a new Canon Log Gamma described as follows: Canon Log 3 achieves a dynamic range of 1600% with 14 stops of dynamic range, and can be ideal for middle end users that have a limited budget for post-production, and need quick turnaround. As Larry mentioned this will gives less dynamic range, but also give us a less noisy image. On top of that Canon has also improved processing in the Canon C300 mark II which in turn should achieve a reduction in the dark noise levels in Canon Log 2 and also address the white streaking problem that we have found in our lab test. There are several other improvements to the camera that also concern the C100 mark II and you can read all about them on HERE.Read more

The Canon C300 Mark II is here and comes with a lot of high expectations by customers and a hefty price tag of $16,000. Many are willing to put down the investment as they anticipate superb image quality in return and a new flagship cinema camera that has been several years in development by Canon. In our test lab we took a closer look at the C300 Mark II's performance and found it less powerful than expected. [UPDATE:] Canon responded to our article. Read: How Canon Measured 15 Stops of Dynamic Range on the C300 Mark II At cinema5D we conduct camera reviews and comparisons. As manufacturers are not limited in the way they advertise their camera's performance we strive to put the numbers in perspective with unified tests on the latest cameras on the market. Being a shooter myself I know it's actually really hard to objectively pinpoint the performance of a camera. In this Canon C300 Mark II lab test I want to give you some insights into our findings about the new Canon C300 Mark II and show you how we tested. The Canon C300 Mark II's reputation The Canon C300 Mark II has raised a lot of eyebrows since the announcement in April. The first Cinema EOS camera, the C300 has been very popular and remains the go-to option for many TV, film and independent productions. With the C300 Mark II Canon introduced numerous advancements, most notably 12-bit 2K as well as 4K 10-bit internal recording and improvements in terms of sensor technology and image processing. According to Canon: "a 15-stop dynamic range is provided by a new photodiode design that simultaneously lowers the noise floor". Considering that the defacto cinema standard Arri ALEXA was announced with 14 stops of dynamic range the Canon C300 Mark II comes with a bold claim. The information surrounding the new Cinema EOS camera seems to suggest that Canon's new sensor could actually compete with the image quality of the good old Arri ALEV III sensor that is used in all 9 versions of the ALEXA Arri has released over the years. As with any new camera on the test bench I was curious, but eventually what I found during the lab test wasn't what I was hoping for. Testing the Dynamic Range So I looked at the dynamic range. At cinema5D we measure this using a DSC labs XYLA-21, an LED-backlit transmissive chart that displays 21 stops of dynamic range. Each vertical bar represents one stop of light. This way it's very easy to judge dynamic range just with your eyes. At the end we evaluate the recordings with a software by IMATEST that spits out a dynamic range value. There's some more science behind it, but I'll spare you the details. As we are recording each ISO value with each camera using the identical very sharp Zeiss 50mm CP2 T/2.1 makro lens with interchangeable mount we can compare all cameras to each other. In our database we have about 20 cameras on record so far. In our tests and according to our workflow it turned out the camera actually has 12.3 stops (measured) of usable dynamic range. Usable dynamic range. What is that? That means within this range you have picture information that you can use. Anything beyond a certain "Signal-to-Noise" ratio is so noisy we think it's unusable. I must say 15 stops of dynamic range is something I cannot find in the Canon C300 Mark II. There's always a chance there's some hidden setting in the menu to unleash the HDR potential of the sensor, but I couldn't find it. Reading comments of other camera enthusiasts it seems that many expect the new C300 sensor to hold up to the performance of the ALEXA cameras. What I see is that the C300 Mark II is still far away from matching this reference standard and almost on par with the Sony FS7 (measured at 12.4 stops). An additional surprise was that I saw a lot of noise in the dark areas on the Canon C300 Mark II even at its base ISO of 800. While the camera has a very clean image in the brighter areas and has a really neutral tone with minimal color noise, there is a point in the dark areas where the noise kicks in strongly. When I did some test shots of natural subjects I realized that images shot on ISO 800 that are just 1 stop underexposed can quickly become a little too noisy for my taste especially in comparison to a camera like the Arri AMIRA (our reference camera). That is rather the opposite of what I expected after all the talk about the Canon C300 Mark II sensor and processing being so new and advanced. Ultimately one has to admit the 5 year old Arri ALEXA sensor is doing better… Looking at the Test Charts Below you can see 3 different cameras compared with the method explained above. The Canon C300 Mark II, Arri ALEXA and Sony FS7. You can see the usable dynamic range highlighted in red. The two fields (stops of light) to the left are overexposed, the range to the right is too noisy (underexposed). It is interesting to see how close the Sony FS7 and Canon C300 Mark II are in terms of dynamic range performance, while the Arri ALEXA clearly has a wider dynamic range and much better noise performance. Furthermore you can see that the ALEXA has a much nicer highlight rolloff and a very nice "looking" noise overall even in the far blacks. The Canon C300 Mark II has very little color noise, which is nice, but at one point in the darks, the noise is getting very severe. You can see this much better in the following image. These are the same shots with gamma lifted equally so we can better see what is happening in the shadow areas, or what would happen when we push the image in post: Camera Settings: Canon C300 Mark II: C Log 2 – Cine Gamut | ISO 800 (native) | F/4.0,5 | 4K (downscaled to 2K) 10bit Arri ALEXA: Log C | ISO 800 (native) | F/2.8,5 | 2K, 12bit Sony FS7: Slog 3 (EI) | ISO 2000 (native) | F/5.6 | 4K (downscaled to 2K) 10bit I am aware that some people might have questions about our tests. Here are a few answered in advance: Why did I compare 4K to 2K? I decided to shoot the Canon C300 Mark II in 4k (not 2K) for this test as I felt the image looked better when downscaled to 2K. I am aware Canon says they achieve best image quality at 2K in 12 bit. I did not see any improvement for the tests conducted. 12 bit will not give you a higher dynamic range, only better gradations. Why didn't I shoot the Sony FS7 at ISO 800 also? The Sony FS7 has a base ISO of 2000 and performs best at this speed. I did not see any improvement in dynamic range shooting at lower ISO's. Same goes for the Canon by the way. One more thing I'd like to mention is that strip of light that is visible on the Canon C300 Mark II recording. In the very dark areas you can see a faint horizontal strip across the image coming from the opverexposed fields on the left. I have no explanation for that phenomenon. High ISO's? The C300 has a reputation of producing nice lowlight images and the Canon C300 Mark II is said to be even stronger in that regard, with an available ISO range of up to 102,400 it sounds promising. In my initial tests however I felt that the camera also didn't perform as good as I expected. Personally I thought I would probably not go beyond ISO 6400 for most projects, which is more or less in the ballpark of the Sony FS7's lowlight capabilities. Other DP's might of course go much higher. High ISO Canon C300 Mark II vs Sony FS7 When I compared the Canon C300 Mark II and the Sony FS7 with the chart I found that indeed they look quite similar in terms of usable range. The Canon I would say performs only slightly better at the same ISO speeds. You should know though that ISO values and the way they affect the image brightness are often varying on different cameras. Thus I had to open up the aperture about 1 stop more for the Sony to get the same exposure, meaning the Sony FS7 is actually about 1 stop less light sensitive at this ISO speed. Camera Settings: Canon C300 Mark II: C Log 2 – Cine Gamut | ISO 12,800 | 1/840th | F/4.0,3 | 4K (downscaled to 2K) 10bit Sony FS7: Slog 3 | ISO 12,500 | 1/1000th | F/2.8 | 4K (downscaled to 2K) 10bit Conclusion Even though the Canon C300 Mark II seems to be quite on par with the Sony Fs7 in terms of dynamic range, I must also say the image of the C300 Mark II is more neutral and the noise is less saturated and mushy in comparison to the Sony FS7. So while unfortunately there is a lot of noise in the shadows, at least it doesn't look so bad. Also the C300 Mark II seems to be about 1 stop more light sensitive than the FS7 at high ISO speeds. I must also mention: Curious about the 120fps (crop) mode in 2K I found that it's actually very soft (think 720p) making it much less usable. Personally I expected much more from the Canon C300 Mark II. Of course there are other aspects to consider about this camera, many of which are not related to the tests discussed in this article. A big point is that the internal codecs are much stronger than on the Sony FS7 and thus it can retain details much better. Also the ergonomics are different and can be a buying argument if you have gotten used to the first Canon C300. There is built-in Genlock and a few other features professionals might enjoy. Check out this comparison of specs between the C300 Mark II's main contenders for a basic overview. Personally I think the FS7 and C300 Mark II can compete well in terms of overall performance, but the Sony FS7's 240fps and other external recording options make it very competitive in regards to the Canon C300 Mark II that requires a much bigger investment. Eventually it is up to every user to decide which features and aspects of each camera's performance is important to them. We'll conduct some more tests at cinema5D and keep you up to date.

"We have stepped into this business and we're never gonna stop" – Larry Thorpe (Canon USA) The Canon C300 mark II was announced just two weeks ago and it is a camera that comes with some high end tech specs aimed at true cinema production. But what is inside the Canon C300 mark II that makes it so unique? When it comes to talking about innovation at Canon, Emmy Engineering Award winner Larry Thorpe is the man to talk to. In this interview he takes us through a comprehensive journey about the tech inside the Canon C300 mark II and shares a small hint about the yet to be announced Canon C500 mark II. As a reminder, here ate the tech specs at a glance: Canon EOS C300 mark II Powerful new Canon codec (XF-AVC) 10 bit 4:2:2 in 4K mode, up to 12 bit 4:4:4 in 2K mode 225 Mbps Up to 30 fps in 4K mode and 60 fps in 2K/HD mode Totally new image sensor with higher dynamic range and lower noise floor Dual pixel autofocus (with a newly developed "focus guide" and a cursor that can be moved around 80% of the image) Enhanced build in ND filter capability (2-4-6-8-10 stops) Two 2.0 CFast recording slots Improved OLED viewfinder (wider gamma colour and higher brightness) Sturdy handle External RAW recording 4 colour gammas (HD 709, Cinema DCI P3, UHD Rec 2020 and Cinema gamma for serious movie shooting as Larry describe it). Proxy recording on an SD card As with all new cameras, numbers and technical details should be translated into beautiful images. It will be interesting to see how well the Canon C300 mark II will hold up in real world shooting environments.Read more

It was just a hunch, really. Theo had been suspicious of the wrappers he'd find everywhere. It wasn't just random, like he'd find something every once in awhile, no. It would appear everywhere, a candy bar wrapper in places you wouldn't normally find trash laying around. It was weird, sure, but he thought nothing of it. Until, of course, he found wrappers in his dorm. He absolutely hated candy and never let his room get even slightly dirty. So how was this possible? Luckily, he formed a plan.

But beyond that, experts aren't convinced that the keto diet has any other scientifically-proven health benefits. In fact, it may have some distinct downsides. If you follow the keto diet incorrectly, for example (like by eating lots of saturated fats, versus healthy unsaturated fats), you're at risk of raising your cholesterol levels. "The best strategy to keep your heart healthy is to get as much fat as possible from unsaturated sources such as olive, avocado and canola oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, and olives," says Ansel.
It's true that it's much easier (and some would argue it's also more fun) to devour a significant number of calories that would be very difficult or maybe even possible to burn off through exercise. For example, let's take a hypothetical huge holiday cheat for example, where a person has consumed upwards of 7000 calories. How likely is it that they have the endurance or the time (or will) to burn off that many calories? This even rings true on a much less dramatic, day-by-day example, if you eat lousily and over your maintenance calories by 400 calories a day, for example. Eventually, it adds up to weight gain.
In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism.[1] The word diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons (with the two often being related). Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or ethical reasons. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.
A workout buddy is hugely helpful for keeping motivated, but it's important to find someone who will inspire—not discourage. So make a list of all your exercise-loving friends, then see who fits this criteria, says Andrew Kastor, an ASICS running coach: Can your pal meet to exercise on a regular basis? Is she supportive (not disparaging) of your goals? And last, will your bud be able to keep up with you or even push your limits in key workouts? If you've got someone that fits all three, make that phone call.
Granted, probiotics have been on the scene for several years, but the next wave of digestive health products have arrived, and the idea of being good to your gut is likely to last into next year (and well beyond). And science backs up this wellness strategy. There are trillions of bacteria in your gut, and they're largely responsible for keeping your immune system in fighting shape. Though we're still in the early phases of research, it's widely believed that a disruption to this delicate ecosystem, known as the microbiome, can lead to problems outside the digestive tract, such as body-wide inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic conditions, including weight gain and diabetes.
When you eat foods high in carbohydrates and fat, your body naturally produces glucose. Carbohydrates are the easiest thing for the body to process, and therefore it will use them first – resulting in the excess fats to be stored immediately. In turn, this causes weight gain and health problems that are associated with high fat, high carbohydrate diets (NOT keto).
Everyone has heard about the importance of following a balanced diet, but how do you know what the right balance is? The goal of a balanced diet is to consume an appropriate amount of calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and water. Food can be divided into food groups according to its calorie and nutrient content. This means that you can consume any food within a food group and get a similar amount of nutrients. The amount of calories will depend on the amount that you consume.
Eating a healthy breakfast is especially important on days when exercise is on your agenda. Skipping breakfast can leave you feeling lightheaded or lethargic while you're working out. Choosing the right kind of breakfast is crucial. Too many people rely on simple carbohydrates to start their day. But a plain white bagel or doughnut won't keep you feeling full for long. In comparison, a fiber- and protein-rich breakfast may fend off hunger pangs for longer and provide the energy you need to keep your exercise going. Follow these tips:
Fairly recently, the diet was introduced as a weight-loss diet by an Italian professor of surgery, Dr. Gianfranco Cappello of Sapienza University in Rome. In his 2012 study, about 19,000 dieters received a high-fat liquid diet via a feeding tube inserted down the nose. The study showed an average weight loss of more than 20 pounds in participants, most of whom kept it off for at least a year. The researchers reported a few minor side effects, like fatigue.
It's a no-brainer that diet and exercise are both crucial to your well-being and your waistline. And that generally adhering to recommended guidelines (like getting regular doses of aerobic activity and resistance training, filling half your plate with fruits and vegetables, and eating lean protein) is the best way to optimize your health overall. But what if you want to achieve something specific—to drop a dress size, say, or stave off heart disease? Research shows that, in certain cases, focusing on one over the other will give you better, faster results. Real Simple asked experts to consider five common goals. Here are their verdicts.
First reported in 2003, the idea of using a form of the Atkins diet to treat epilepsy came about after parents and patients discovered that the induction phase of the Atkins diet controlled seizures. The ketogenic diet team at Johns Hopkins Hospital modified the Atkins diet by removing the aim of achieving weight loss, extending the induction phase indefinitely, and specifically encouraging fat consumption. Compared with the ketogenic diet, the modified Atkins diet (MAD) places no limit on calories or protein, and the lower overall ketogenic ratio (about 1:1) does not need to be consistently maintained by all meals of the day. The MAD does not begin with a fast or with a stay in hospital and requires less dietitian support than the ketogenic diet. Carbohydrates are initially limited to 10 g per day in children or 20 g per day in adults, and are increased to 20–30 g per day after a month or so, depending on the effect on seizure control or tolerance of the restrictions. Like the ketogenic diet, the MAD requires vitamin and mineral supplements and children are carefully and periodically monitored at outpatient clinics.[48]
The keto diet isn't new, and it's been around for nearly a century. It was originally developed to treat people with epilepsy. In the 1920s, researchers found that raised levels of ketones in the blood led to fewer epileptic seizures in patients. The keto diet is still used today to treat children with epilepsy who don't respond well to anti-epileptic drugs.[2]
Disclaimer: Nothing contained on this Site is intended to provide health care advice. Should you have any health care-related questions, please call or see your physician or other health care provider. Consult your physician or health care provider before beginning the Atkins Diet as you would any other weight loss or weight maintenance program. The weight loss phases of the Atkins Diet should not be used by persons on dialysis. Individual results may vary.
Dr. Gardner and his colleagues designed the study to compare how overweight and obese people would fare on low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets. But they also wanted to test the hypothesis — suggested by previous studies — that some people are predisposed to do better on one diet over the other depending on their genetics and their ability to metabolize carbs and fat. A growing number of services have capitalized on this idea by offering people personalized nutrition advice tailored to their genotypes.

Hormones and specialized proteins found in body fat contribute to inflammation and oxidation, which in turn contribute to the development and progression of prostate cancer. Using diet and exercise to maintain a healthy weight helps limit your body fat and prevent this inflammation and oxidation. In addition, regular exercise and certain foods (especially fruits and vegetables) have natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. (Also, eating more fruits and vegetables may help reduce your intake of processed foods.)
Along with protein and good-for-you fat, fiber is one of those nutrition elements that keeps you full and fueled all day long. And if you're trying to get fit and shed pounds, fiber is your best friend. In fact, in one an American Heart Association study, participants who consuming 30 grams of fiber a day ended up losing weight and improving their heart health. So when it comes to staying healthy and slim, aim for that 30 gram fiber goal!

Thiamin: Also known as vitamin B1, thiamin is involved in nervous-system and muscle functioning, the flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid. Very little thiamin is stored in the body, so depletion can occur in a little as 14 days. Chronic alcohol intake and an inadequate diet can lead to a thiamin deficiency. Beriberi is the deficiency disease for thiamin. Sources of thiamin are pork chops, sunflower seeds, green peas, baked potatoes, and enriched and whole grain cereals and pastas.

"regular food," early 13c., from Old French diete (13c.) "diet, pittance, fare," from Medieval Latin dieta "parliamentary assembly," also "a day's work, diet, daily food allowance," from Latin diaeta "prescribed way of life," from Greek diaita, originally "way of life, regimen, dwelling," related to diaitasthai "lead one's life," and from diaitan, originally "separate, select" (food and drink), frequentative of *diainysthai "take apart," from dia- "apart" + ainysthai "take," from PIE root *ai- "to give, allot." Often with a sense of restriction since 14c.; hence put (someone) on a diet (mid-15c.).
People receiving cancer treatment need to be aware of food safety, because some treatments may weaken the immune system and lead to an infection. An infection occurs when harmful bacteria, viruses, or fungi, such as yeast, invade the body and the immune system is not able to destroy them quickly enough. Here are some basic food safety tips to reduce the risk of infection.
In addition, watching your weight may reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer. According to a study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the risk of dying from prostate cancer is more than double in obese men diagnosed with the disease compared with men of normal weight at the time of diagnosis. And obese men with local or regional disease have nearly four times the risk of their cancer metastasizing, or spreading.
Of course, many dieters regain what they lose, and this study cannot establish whether participants will be able to sustain their new habits. While people on average lost a significant amount of weight in the study, there was also wide variability in both groups. Some people gained weight, and some lost as much as 50 to 60 pounds. Dr. Gardner said that the people who lost the most weight reported that the study had "changed their relationship with food." They no longer ate in their cars or in front of their television screens, and they were cooking more at home and sitting down to eat dinner with their families, for example.
The ketogenic diet—also known as "keto"—has become the latest big thing in weight-loss plans, touted recently by celebs like Jenna Jameson, Mama June, and Halle Berry. The diet involves cutting way back on carbohydrates, to 50 grams a day or less, to help the body achieve a state of ketosis, in which it has to burn fat (rather than sugar) for energy.
To minimize the importance of exercise in the equation is to completely ignore the fact that working out has the capacity to strengthen your heart and your immune system, increase bone density, ward diabetes, cancer and heart disease, increase your lung capacity, and more. For this reason, we think it's irresponsible to downplay the role of exercise in both weight loss and health.
The ketogenic diet — a high-fat and very low-carb eating plan — can be tough to start. After all, it's likely a radical departure from the way you're eating now (a typical standard American diet is high in carbohydrates and processed foods). But many people are trying the keto diet, which puts your body in a state of ketosis. That's what happens when your body's carb-burning switch flips to a fat-burning one, a change that can cause weight loss and has even been credited with controlling diabetes. (1)
Prostate cancer treatment may affect your appetite, eating habits, and weight, but it is important for you to maintain a healthy weight, get essential nutrients, and remain as physically active as possible.If you have difficulty eating due to side effects from treatment, there are ways to make eating more comfortable. Working with a registered dietitian/nutritionist (RDN) can help make sure you are getting the nutrition you need.
Is it ladies' night? If you know you'll be imbibing more than one drink, feel (and sip!) right by always ordering water between cocktails, says Newgent. That way, you won't rack up sneaky liquid calories (and ruin your inhibition to resist those mozzarella sticks!). But your H20 doesn't have to be ho-hum. "Make it festive by ordering the sparkling variety with plenty of fruit, like a lime, lemon, and orange wedge in a martini or highball glass," adds Newgent.
There are many ways you can positively influence your health. Lifestyle choices, such as diet, exercise, and smoking or drinking, are influenced by habit, culture, and preferences and are different for each individual. Every day the foods you choose to eat and the amount of physical activity you get can impact your overall health as well as your prostate cancer risk, recovery, and survival.
Yet the new study found that after one year of focusing on food quality, not calories, the two groups lost substantial amounts of weight. On average, the members of the low-carb group lost just over 13 pounds, while those in the low-fat group lost about 11.7 pounds. Both groups also saw improvements in other health markers, like reductions in their waist sizes, body fat, and blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
On the other hand, nutritionists like Turoff aren't thrilled with the orange juice choice. "Orange juice is going to be high in sugar, so I wouldn't recommend it for the average person — instead, I suggest having a whole orange," says Turoff. By doing so, she says, you get the fiber from the whole fruit, which helps keep your blood sugar from spiking, like it does with juice.
The award for the most bizarre trend in 2018 goes to this plan, which eliminates some of the healthiest foods, including fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds, beans, and grains (including whole grains). What's left? Beef, chicken, fish, eggs, turkey, butter, milk, yogurt, and cheese. I'm typically open to any eating style that's practiced in a healthy way, but since this plan is virtually devoid of beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber, from plants, I can't give it any props. And in fact, even if you're losing weight eating nothing but animal foods, there's still a good chance this plan will do some long-term damage. One study found that within two days of shifting to a mostly meat-and-cheese diet, your microbiome shifts in a way that promotes inflammation and intestinal disease. Plant foods are key to optimal health, as we know from studying people who live the longest, good quality lives, so let's hope this diet trend gets dropped come the new year.
It's true that it's much easier (and some would argue it's also more fun) to devour a significant number of calories that would be very difficult or maybe even possible to burn off through exercise. For example, let's take a hypothetical huge holiday cheat for example, where a person has consumed upwards of 7000 calories. How likely is it that they have the endurance or the time (or will) to burn off that many calories? This even rings true on a much less dramatic, day-by-day example, if you eat lousily and over your maintenance calories by 400 calories a day, for example. Eventually, it adds up to weight gain.
In the 1960s, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) were found to produce more ketone bodies per unit of energy than normal dietary fats (which are mostly long-chain triglycerides).[15] MCTs are more efficiently absorbed and are rapidly transported to the liver via the hepatic portal system rather than the lymphatic system.[16] The severe carbohydrate restrictions of the classic ketogenic diet made it difficult for parents to produce palatable meals that their children would tolerate. In 1971, Peter Huttenlocher devised a ketogenic diet where about 60% of the calories came from the MCT oil, and this allowed more protein and up to three times as much carbohydrate as the classic ketogenic diet. The oil was mixed with at least twice its volume of skimmed milk, chilled, and sipped during the meal or incorporated into food. He tested it on 12 children and adolescents with intractable seizures. Most children improved in both seizure control and alertness, results that were similar to the classic ketogenic diet. Gastrointestinal upset was a problem, which led one patient to abandon the diet, but meals were easier to prepare and better accepted by the children.[15] The MCT diet replaced the classic ketogenic diet in many hospitals, though some devised diets that were a combination of the two.[10]
Bulk buy and cook. If you're someone who doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this is the best of both worlds. Buying your food at bulk (specifically from wholesalers) can reduce the cost per pound tremendously. Plus, you can make ahead food (bulk cook chicken thighs for pre-made meat, or cook entire meals) that are used as leftovers, so you spend less time cooking.
The effects that dietary fat has on your blood cholesterol levels will help you choose which ones to consume. According to the American Heart Association, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the "bad" cholesterol because when too much of it circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is the "good" cholesterol because it helps remove "bad" cholesterol from arteries and prevent blockage. The goal is to have a
There are theoretically no restrictions on where the ketogenic diet might be used, and it can cost less than modern anticonvulsants. However, fasting and dietary changes are affected by religious and cultural issues. A culture where food is often prepared by grandparents or hired help means more people must be educated about the diet. When families dine together, sharing the same meal, it can be difficult to separate the child's meal. In many countries, food labelling is not mandatory so calculating the proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrate is difficult. In some countries, it may be hard to find sugar-free forms of medicines and supplements, to purchase an accurate electronic scale, or to afford MCT oils.[54]
The ketogenic diet has been studied in at least 14 rodent animal models of seizures. It is protective in many of these models and has a different protection profile than any known anticonvulsant. Conversely, fenofibrate, not used clinically as an antiepileptic, exhibits experimental anticonvulsant properties in adult rats comparable to the ketogenic diet.[58] This, together with studies showing its efficacy in patients who have failed to achieve seizure control on half a dozen drugs, suggests a unique mechanism of action.[56]
"This is a great way of eating that I highly recommend to many clients, and I even model in my own life," says Elizabeth Shaw, RDN, who is in private practice in San Diego and is the co-author of Fertility Foods Cookbook. "Since the premise of the diet is designed to help people who have high blood pressure, low-sodium foods are recommended. But considering that most Americans exceed their daily sodium levels anyway, it's not surprising that dietitians recommend this style of eating for treating many different conditions, such as heart disease and obesity."

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe organisation selected is a civil engineering and construction firm. It is based on the Gold Coast and has been established for several years. The firm employs approximately seventy employees, both in the office and in the field. The purpose of this business report is to assess and evaluate the organisations recruitment and selection strategy and make constructive recommendations for the improvement of the organisations recruitment and selection process. Both interview questions and a questionnaire were used to research and gather information about the organisations strategy for recruitment and selection. In the first instance, the organisation was contacted and a meeting arranged with the HR manager. At this meeting, the HR manager provided me with background information regarding the organisation andcompleted the questionnaire that had been prepared. After the meeting, the information from the questionnaire was analysed and subsequently a set of interview questions was developed.
One week later, upon return to the organisation, a structured interview was conducted with the HR manager, with the goal to collect more in-depth information about the organisation and its processes for recruitment and selection.Several issues were identified that the organisation needs to address in the recruitment and selection process. Recruitment preparation needs to have a clear method of communicating requests for vacant or new positions such as a requisition form or memo. Employment agencies are a beneficial source to use for employing low skilled workers on a temporary basis, in order to keep the workflow uninterrupted, therefore, maintaining acceptable productivity, and lower staff turnover. Metropolitan daily newspapers are a good way of attracting suitable professional candidates for vacant positions. Advertising internally to fill positions and having a structured interview helps ensure that the right applicant is matched with the right job. Advertising internally also helps increase commitment amongst employees. Finally, by developing an orientation program and implementing it with new employees, the organisation can decrease staff turnover and increase commitment. Recruitment & Selection Clarke167
1. INTRODUCTION1.1 Purpose of the ReportThe purpose of the business report is to examine and assess the organisations strategy for recruitment and selection. An attempt to establish what level of understanding the organisation has of the recruitment and selection process is carried out. In addition, the current strategy and processes used to implement recruitment and selection in the organisation is being assessed. Finally, recommendations will be made based on the information gathered, whilst taking into consideration the current economic climate and the availability of suitable resources.
2. RECRUITMENT PROCESS2.1 Recruitment Preparation The organisation has no formal method of request for vacant or new positions. An informal request can be vague and misleading and may not supply the HR manager with the job description and person specification required to establish the selection criteria. This is because of a reliance on the effective communication skills of both the persons giving the verbal request and the HR manager receiving the request. Both parties need to be effective in passing on and receiving correct information. The request must set out the exact requirements of the new or vacant position. Job or person specifications should spell out
the requirements an individual needs to successfully perform the job as per the job description (Hite & Johnston 1998). The job description should highlight specific duties and responsibilities. The implication of not receiving clear direction on what is required for the position is that the selection criteria will not be valid. Consequently, the recruitment process can break down, as Journal of Management Practice Volume 5 No 1 168 the absence of valid selection criteria can affect the decision-making at a later stage (Compton & Nankervis 1998). This means that a simple miscommunication can result in the incorrect matching of an applicant to a job. The attitude and personal characteristics of the individual may not fit the specifications required. This can result in low motivation of the individual and can, therefore, lead to unsatisfactory performance (Mitchell, Dowling, Kabanoff & Larson 1988), thus requiring the individual to be replaced and causing unnecessary costs. Ensuring that the job description and person specification are correctly portrayed and, therefore, giving valid selection criteria, can avoid unnecessary costs.
production and absenteeism, can be compared to the cost of an employment agency. The use of an employment agency can be convenient for the organisation. The position can be filled at short notice using temporary employees with little effort from the organisation (Dessler 1991). The use of temporary employees for low skilled positions allows flexibility to go with the ups and downs of the industry, with minimal disruption to the workflow. 2.3 Vacancy Promotion The organisation uses the local suburban paper as a means for promoting the vacant positions for high skilled employees. As the purpose of recruitment and selection is to match the right applicants with the right jobs, the organisation needs to ensure that the true target market is reached. That is, that the advertisement reaches professional and managerial applicants. The implication of using the local paper for advertising vacancies is that you may not reach the desired target market of professional applicants. This means that the organisation may not attract an adequate number of suitable and qualified applicants for the position, which reduces the chances of matching the right applicant to the right job (Stone 1998). If the organisation cannot match suitable applicants to jobs, then the whole recruitment process is affected. Employing the wrong person for the job creates additional cost, low job satisfaction, decreased productivity, and increased turnover (Robbins et al. 1998). As discussed in Stone (1998), the most popular method used to attract managerial and professional employees is to advertise in state or metropolitan daily newspapers. Recruitment & Selection Clarke169 3. SELECTION PROCESS 3.1 Internal vs. External Recruitment The organisation does not have a written policy on internal recruitment. There is no procedure in place to facilitate the filling of positions through internal sources. One of the implications of not advertising internally within the organisation is that morale may be damaged which may contribute to an increase in absenteeism and a decrease in job satisfaction (Robbins et al. 1998). Another implication is that the most suitable applicant for the job may already be employed with the organisation, but because the position is not advertised internally that employee will not have the opportunity to put their case forward. Internal advertising can help identify people with talent who otherwise would not be known personally to management (Compton & Nankervis 1998, p. 71). Internal advertising and job posting can help facilitate the promotion of employees who are aptly qualified. Without the advertising of positions internally, it is difficult to develop succession planning (Walker 1992). 3.2 Interview Structure The organisation uses unstructured and semi-structured interviews. A disadvantage of using unstructured interviews is that the same questions may not be asked across each of the candidates being interviewed. This affects the validity of the interview, since decisions may be made based on different sets of criteria (Dessler 1991). Stone (1998, p. 626), states that the most valid interviews use a consistent structure. Interaction between the candidate and the interviewer may differ from one interview to the next, therefore lacking
consistency and reliability (Stone 1998). Also, the skills of the interviewer may affect the responses of the applicant. Structured interviews for professional or high skilled applicants can help ensure that decisions are made based on the answers to the same set of questions, thus comparing the same set of criteria (Stone 1998). Structured interviews are a vehicle used to establish a framework for decision-making. According to Dessler (1991), by using preset or predetermined questions, the interviewer can reduce the tendency to show bias to unfavourable information and, therefore, remain objective. 3.3 Interview Environment The room used to interview applicants is important as it contributes to the image of the organisation (Stone 1998). The interview room for this organisation is the boardroom. It is located immediately beside the main office and is set up as a traditional boardroom with a long table and chairs. The use of the boardroom table for interviewing may cause the applicant to become uncomfortable, as the seating arrangements may not facilitate a relaxed environment. According to Compton and Nankervis (1998, p. 184), the use of a desk between an interviewer and candidate can act as a psychological barrier. This environment may cause the applicant to become nervous and the quality of responses received may be affected. Consequently, responses that create a false idea or impression of the applicant may be considered as correct by the interviewer. This might cause the incorrect applicant to be selected, despite the information being false, which results in an unsuitable applicant being matched with a job. It may also result in an applicant missing out on a position because they understated their abilities due to feeling uncomfortable and nervous in the interview. By arranging the seating at equal levels, a positive environment is created both physically and Journal of Management Practice Volume 5 No 1 170 emotionally (Braun 1995). The applicant must be given every opportunity to perform well in an interview environment. 3.4 Orientation Stone (1998) describes employee orientation as an integral part of the training and development process. The organisation does not use an orientation program. Orientation programs can be cost effective to the organisation by reducing the anxieties of new members of the organisation. Consequently, positive attitudes, a sense of commitment and job satisfaction can be developed right from the beginning of the employees journey with the organisation (Stone 1998). Employees should be given the relevant information to learn how the organisation functions and what the organisational culture is made up of. All expectations and requirements should be clearly defined, in order to give employees the ability to perform efficiently and effectively in their new job. There are several implications of not putting employees through an orientation process. Employees may believe that the performance
expectation is considerably lower than what it actually is, as that expectation was not established initially (Stone 1998). Additionally, employees may not feel as though they are a part of the organisation. This can cause increased absenteeism, decreased job satisfaction, and lower levels of motivation, all of which contribute to a higher employee turnover (Robbins et al. 1998). 3.4.1 Timing of Orientation The timing of the orientation process is crucial to the type of impressions that are formed by new employees. According to McGarrell (1984), lasting impressions are formed in the first sixty to ninety days of a new employees experience with an organisation. The implication of not performing the orientation on the first day, or soon after, may be that the employee learns all of the required information regarding the organisation and their duties from another employee. This employee may not be trained in the orientation process and may give incorrect information to the new employee. Subsequently, the new employee may quickly become frustrated at the lack of accurate information and unacceptable performance levels may result. It is also possible for a negative attitude to be developed towards the organisation (Stone 1998). Consequently, the employee may need to be replaced resulting in the entire recruitment and selection process being carried out again. This causes unnecessary costs to the organisation, which could have been avoided if adequate information was provided in the first instance. 4. CONCLUSION For the purpose of this report, it was found that the questionnaire and interview questions were sufficient to obtain the information required to analyse the process of recruitment and selection within the organisation. It has been found that the organisation has a sound understanding of what processes need to be used in order to achieve effective recruitment and selection. In addition to this, several issues have been identified within the recruitment and selection process that need to be addressed by the organisation. The first issue identified is that the organisation needs to address the way it communicates the request for vacant and new positions to the person responsible for recruitment. Second, the need has been detected for the organisation to enlist the services of an employment agency for the recruitment of low skilled temporary staff. Thirdly, the need for the organisation to widen the coverage area when Recruitment & Selection Clarke 171
advertising in the newspaper for positions vacant has been established. It has also been found that this approach should be used for the professional and managerial vacancies, with the goal of hitting the desired target market. Fourth, it has been established that the organisation should advertise all positions internally, prior to searching outside the company for the most suitable applicant. Fifth, it has been shown that the organisation needs to change the current structure used in interviews for professional positions, from unstructured to structured to ensure that the right applicant is matched with the right job. Sixth, the need for the organisation to change the seating arrangements in the interview room has been identified. This can be achieved by purchasing, when possible, some comfortable furniture to enhance the interview environment. Finally, the need for the organisation to develop an orientation program to be implemented within the first week of an employee commencing employment has been established. By assessing the recruitment and selection strategy of the organisation, the needs of the organisation have been established and identified, therefore, satisfying the purpose of the report. 5. RECOMMENDATIONS The organisation develops a suitable formal written request such as a requisition form or memo. The organisation uses an employment agency for the recruitment of low skilled, temporary staff. The organisation advertises for medium to high skilled vacancy positions in the metropolitan daily newspaper. The organisation advertises all vacant positions internally in the first instance. The organisation uses structured interviews for all positions classed as medium to high skilled. The organisation obtains comfortable lounge-type seating and a coffee table to be used to conduct interviews in the designated interview room. The organisation develops and implements an employee orientation program. The organisation ensures that the orientation program is carried out with new employees on their first day, where possible or, alternatively, in the first week.

Clipping:Rewriting the National Agreements
|Add a Clipping
|Saturday, December 20, 1890
[reporting on the meeting of the conference committee 12/12] Feeling the necessity of advice upon the important matter of admitting the Western Association to the National Agreement as well as upon a necessary reconstruction of that famous compact, a task quite beyond the capabilities of Spalding, that gentleman decided to doff his cap to the ablest man base ball ever knew—A. G. Mills, the original author of the National Agreement—and secure the benefit of his advice and perhaps active assistance. Accordingly, Spalding invited Mr. Mills to meet him at dinner at the Manhattan Club with Messrs. Byrne, Day, Krauthoff and Thurman.
After dinner the situation was freely discussed, among other things considered being the relations of the humble Association to Mr. Mills' old pet, the League, and the reconstruction of the National Agreement, Spalding being desirous that some of the objectionable features of the reserve rule and sales system should be modified. In this connection Mr. Krauthoff's proposition for the admission of the Western Association to equal rights under the National Agreement was also brought up and fully considered. What conclusion was arrived at regarding all these important matters was not given out to the reporters, probably because nothing definite had been arrived at, and perhaps also because the learned gentlemen feared to give the reporters the task of writing something beyond their grasp and capacity to do justice to.
