Inquiry: Humane is in the Midst of an Evolution in Meaning By LJ Frank
Credit: Jean Philippe-Cypres, photographer
Humane rests with context. The 20th and 21st century meld together with higher technologies being one of the consistent artificial ingredients that produces a metamorphosis from mercy outside a technological context to mercy within a technological context. To do unto others as you would have others do unto you is a romantic concept. It has all but disappeared on the world stage.
The English word humane from an etymological standpoint is rooted in "human" as one might expect. According to, The Barnhart Dictionary of Etymology and my bible of dictionaries, Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, unabridged (1959), the word arrived in writing and speech as "humayne" or that, which belongs to man in the mid 1400's C.E. (Common Era). Decades later around 1500 humayne attained qualities of human beings that were "gentle, friendly, courteous." A couple centuries later (1700s) words such as kind, merciful and compassionate towards others became interchangeable with humane. The downstream effects of the French Enlightenment and American Revolution helped inspire the change and there were also changes in western cultures as well in Asia, Africa and South America under different names.
The effects of the Industrial Revolution added to the moods toward being humane. The Social Gospel written about by Walter Rauschenbusch in the early 1900s, talks about the individual's responsibility toward society. The charitable efforts of that period are acts of mercy and compassion to the less fortunate. Cynicism was to become more noticeable with advent of advanced technologies, war and wealth in the hands of the few.
Wars change the fabric of society as new technologies are introduced. Since World War II and the use of nuclear bombs we find the word humane continuing to evolve within the context of technology. Technology can both enhance and deconstruct humanity. As robotic technology replaces people in their work at what point will it replace the need for the language that surrounds humanity and that which we have identified as humane or the idea of being merciful, compassionate and kind?
In Worse Than War, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen writes about genocide, eliminationism, and the ongoing assault on humanity. We live in an age where mass murder through the use of technology is greeted with a sense of awesome power in human hands that somehow we can control our own destiny when in reality such power ultimately describes man's inhumanity and wickedness. Will we continue to become bereft of our moral obligations to each other through our competition for resources? Humane suggests we cherish individual rights and not obscure them and cast them aside for the sake of fear that generates power to a few. Humane becomes technologically contextual when deciding who is to live and who is to die.
The competition for resources, power and recognition is deceptive. "Soldiers are pawns" as former Secretary, Henry Kissinger has stated within a technological and geopolitical context. In the future will we define a drone as a soldier, just as we define a corporation as an individual as ruled by the US Supreme Court?
Wars are symptomatic of a more provocative dilemma facing moral humans. The competitive games and sports we play with technological precision may be signs of a deeper malaise. In a competitive world there are always winners and losers and to the victors belong the spoils. The table has been set so to speak. You either have access to become wealthy with homes of lavish splendor or living on the edge of impoverishment with the thought of suicide entering your mind within the emerging 21st century of technological redefinition of living standards.
On the flip side of the technological coin can technology be programmed "to be humane" while cameras and drones telecast our every move and where even our memories are not private, as noted by the current FBI director. Can cooperation for the sake of humanity be developed on the same spirited level as those who seek wealth? In the years ahead, will we be able to decipher the difference between reality television and reality itself? And, in a competitive world on whose terms will the cooperation be conducted, for the sake of that which is humane?
Humane is evolving and morphing. Individually a woman or man may be merciful and compassionate. Will that mercy morph into an artificial computer chip? Who will then define humane? Final solutions by leaders are not needed, rather a sane process of mercy, compassion and kindness for those that suffer and otherwise are manipulated is necessary.
Humane is in the midst of an evolution in meaning.

Der Bioenergie-Tag in Deutschland
Bioenergy is Europe's leading renewable energy source. According to Eurostat data and calculations made by the European Biomass Association (AEBIOM), bioenergy will be able to supply 11% of the final energy consumption in 2017. An additional 7% comes from the other renewables, while the rest (82%) still comes from fossil fuels. Within this context, for 66 days the EU can run on renewable energies, 41 days of which are supplied by bioenergy—from November 21 to the end of the year.
For Germany, its Bioenergy Day is November 23, two days after the European average. Biomass is the most important renewable energy source in Germany accounting for approximately 59 percent of renewable sources comes from the use of biomass for energy in the electricity, heating and transport sectors.
To illustrate the often overlooked importance of bioenergy, the German Bioenergy Association (BBE) has placed it in relation to the total energy demand. According to the calculations, as of November 23 to the end of the year, Germany could run entirely on biomass sources.
Bioheat and biopower
According to BBE, it is the heating market that the special role of bioenergy is obvious – more than half of the energy consumption in Germany is for heat and bioenergy has an 11.8 percent share of the heat market.
With an annual production of 1.9 million tonnes 2016, the country is, according to AEBIOM, the largest producer of wood pellets in Europe. However, according to Deutscher Energieholz- und Pellet-Verband e.V. (DEPV) this is set to rise to 2.3 million tonnes 2017 whereas installed capacity is at 3.4 million tonnes. Pellet consumption is also set to rise for to over 2.2 million tonnes in 2017.
Biomass is also the second largest source of renewable electricity in terms of electricity consumption at 8.6 percent after wind power. Biogas is a major source with Germany having the largest biogas plant fleet in Europe, over 9 200 installations. According to figures from the German Biogas Association (Fachverband Biogas), Germany has an installed biogas capacity of almost 4.5 GWe.
At just under 90 percent of all renewables in transportation, biofuels also remain the main "pillar of climate-friendly mobility" in the transport sector, even though their share has fallen from 7.2 percent to 4.6 percent in the last 10 years.
Of economic importance
BBE highlight that bioenergy is a significant economic factor for Germany. The advantages of bioenergy are its enormous flexibility because it can not only be used for electricity, heat or biofuel production but it is on demand and dispatchable regardless of the weather or time of day. The use of domestic biomass replaces imports of fossil fuels and thus appreciably contributes to increasing energy supply security.
It also generates enormous economic impetus through the promotion of regional value chains, the strengthening of small and medium-sized enterprises in particular, and the revitalization of rural areas. According to Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie and Agentur für Erneuerbare Energien, this was worth approximately EUR 10.5 billion with more than 113 000 people finding work in Germany through bioenergy.
BBE notes that the share of bioenergy in primary energy consumption could be increased fourfold by 2050 by "resolutely mobilizing the sustainable potential" which according to Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe is currently just over 7 percent – with corresponding effects for more climate protection, more employment and empowerment of the business location Germany.
EU pillar of energy transition
Bioenergy is also the pillar of the energy transition in Europe. So the EU celebrated just ahead of Germany on November 21 its "EU Bioenergy Day". For 41 days, therefore, the EU could meet its current energy requirements exclusively via biogenic energy sources.
Thomas Siegmund, Executive Director of the German Bioenergy Association (BBE) and Vice-President of the European Biomass Association (AEBIOM) here seen addressing delegates at AEBIOM's European Bioenergy Future 2017 conference in Brussels, Belgium on November 21 – European Bioenergy Day 2017.
Individual member states such as Sweden (132 days), Finland (121 days) or Latvia (112 days) are already significantly further. The placement of Germany in the midfield of the EU Member States reveals the potential for improvement.
About European Bioenergy Day
The campaign will last 66 days, starting from November 21 through the end of the year. This is a symbolic date on which the European Bioenergy Day was celebrated by organizing the European Bioenergy Future Conference, held in Brussels, Belgium on that date.
Eleven Member States already achieved their EU 2020 renewable energy targets
Latvia's Bioenergy Day – bioenergy accounts for almost one-third of nation's final energy consumption
Estonia's Bioenergy Day – bioenergy accounts for 27% of nation's final energy consumption
Lithuania's Bioenergy Day – bioenergy accounts for over one-fifth of final energy consumption
ENplus passes 8 million tonnes certified pellets in 2016
Austria's Bioenergy Day – bioenergy accounts for 20 % of final energy consumption
Croatia's Bioenergy Day – wood an important renewable energy source
Germany – more UCOME than RME a cause of concern says UFOP
Portugal's Bioenergy Day
Slovenia's Bioenergy Day
Czeching out Bioenergy Day
Giornata Italiana della Bioenergia
As of November 21, Europe runs on bioenergy alone

Las Vegas man, 30, lives on 'Neanderthal-inspired diet' with raw lamb, rabbit and OCTOPUS
A Las Vegas man has revealed that he switched to a raw meat diet after a sour trip – claiming it made him stronger and smarter.
Flight attendant Rusty McEntire, from Las Vegas, always preferred his steak on the very rare side and tried small pieces of raw steak before cooking.
But eight years ago, he decided to take the plunge and ate a whole uncooked bison ribeye steak, which left him feeling "energised."
Mr McEntire, 30, hasn't looked back since and now follows a Neanderthal-inspired diet consisting of raw cuts of meat, fish and even more exotic animals such as octopuses.
He claims he eats between 3,000 and 4,000 calories a day — including two pounds of raw meat — and regularly posts videos of himself tearing up during his meals on social media.
Mr McEntire said of his first experience, 'I may have come from an acid trip, but it was one of the most invigorating experiences of my life.'
He said: 'When I eat an abundance of raw meat, I really feel an increased amount of energy and a sense of focus.
"It could be a mental issue, but personally for me, when I come off my raw diet, I feel a lot slower than when I eat it."
Rusty McEntire, 30, enjoys a raw steak for dinner alongside a glass of red wine and broccoli. He's been eating a carnivorous diet since he was 22
Mr. McEntire eats a hunk of raw meat, he doesn't want to cook it in case it loses its flavor and nutrients
Mr McEntire said he switched to his raw meat diet after worrying that he was losing vital nutrients during the cooking process.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) say meat should be cooked so that any germs that can make you sick are killed.
Cooking meat breaks down tough fibers, making it easier to chew and digest.
It also leads to better absorption of nutrients, and a 2011 Harvard study found that cooked meat provides more energy than raw meat.
Mr. McEntire emphasizes that he is not a doctor or nutritionist and draws his knowledge from his own research and experience.
He tries to buy grass-fed meats instead of raw steaks from supermarkets like Wal-Mart, to avoid lower quality meats.
He is taunted online for his carnivorous diet, with comments like 'You're an idiot' and 'Enjoy your parasites', but they don't bother him and he is happy with his choice.
His usual meal is raw steak, but he occasionally eats raw ground beef, rabbit and hamburgers
Some family and friends agree with the trolls, labeling his diet "wild," "wild," and "too hardcore."
But in general, his family is supportive while his mother also eats raw meat regularly.
And uncooked meat isn't Mr. McEntire's only quirk. He also drinks raw milk, which is unpasteurized.
Pasteurization is the process that kills potentially dangerous bacteria in milk, and the sale of raw milk is illegal in many US states.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prohibits the sale or distribution of raw milk between states at the federal level, but in Mr. McEntire's state of Nevada, the sale of raw milk is legal.
According to the CDC, raw milk and products made from it "can pose serious health risks, including death."
However, Mr. McEntire believes that eating and drinking raw has serious health benefits.
He believes it's a "healthier alternative" to pasteurized milk, saying it's only been made illegal in some states because "some people's bodies really can't handle it."
He said, 'Raw milk is almost the only kind I ever drink, and it never made me sick.
"It has been said that the presence of omegas and DHA in fish and raw meat made man evolve from the ape and gain a greater mental capacity."
Eating raw meat is common in some cultures, such as Inuit communities.
Meat is prepared by being buried underground so it can ferment for months – a process called igunaq.
If not prepared properly, it can cause illness or even death due to botulism, bacterial toxin poisoning.
How Eating Raw Meat Can Make You Sick
Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria, such as salmonella or E.coli, or a virus, such as norovirus.
Raw meat and unpasteurized milk are most likely to be contaminated.
Symptoms usually begin within two days of eating the food.
These can be:
Diarrhea, which may contain blood or mucus
Most people don't need treatment and get better within a few days.
They should make sure they rest and drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.
They should contact their doctor if their symptoms become severe or do not improve after a few days.
Physicians should be notified if the elderly, pregnant women, children, or those with underlying health conditions or a weakened immune system are affected.
Food can become contaminated if it:
Not well cooked
Left too long at room temperature
Not warmed up enough
Eaten past the expiration date
Touched with contaminated hands
Not stored below 5C

Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam said that DMK-Congress government and M.K. Kanimozhi did not ensure security to Sri Lankan Tamils during the Eelam War.
During his campaign near Anna Nagar here on Sunday evening in favour of BJP candidate Tamilisai Soundararajan, Mr. Panneerselvam said that Ms. Kanimozhi, who was among a team of MPs representing India in Sri Lanka, received the hospitality extended by the then Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa but did not take any constructive action to protect the Tamils.
"She has now been named the DMK candidate of Thoothukudi," he said.
He said that the AIADMK government had taken steps to ensure that the publication of the gazette notification on the Cauvery water scheme by the Union Ministry of Water Resources following the Supreme Court order.
"The AIADMK government passed a law in favour of jallikattu and the Centre, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was very helpful," he said. He added that the Centre should be strong and congenial to ensure development of the State.
The AIADMK government had increased the amount of gold given from four grams to eight grams under the 'gold for thali' scheme, and increased the financial assistance given to poor mothers from Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 18,000 under the Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy Maternity Benefit Scheme, Mr.Panneerselvam said.
"The DMK on the other hand is promoting a culture of violence," he said, citing various incidents in which the party members were involved in brawls.
During his address, a person in the crowd asked him to speak on the Sterlite issue. But he was removed by the police. Mr. Panneerselvam, who continued to address the gathering, did not speak on the issue.

Sprint CEO 'Concerned' About AT&T Deal
The stifling of innovation and putting too much power in the hands of too few are at the heart of concerns expressed by Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint Nextel Corp.
By Peter Svensson | March 23, 2011 | 7:36 a.m. ET.
Sprint Nextel Corp. CEO Dan Hesse said Tuesday that he's concerned that AT&T Inc.'s deal to buy T-Mobile USA would hurt his company and the industry, as the biggest two players strengthen their dominance.
The $39 billion deal was announced Sunday, but is expected to take more than a year to close, after scrutiny by regulators.
AT&T and Verizon Wireless already have two-thirds of U.S. wireless subscribers, and would have three-quarters if the deal goes through.
"I do have concerns that it would stifle innovation and too much power would be in the hands of two," Hesse said in a panel discussion at cellphone conference in Orlando, Fla., monitored by webcast.
The head of Verizon Wireless, Dan Mead, was asked on the same panel whether he had a stand on the proposed deal.
"We're certainly very interested in what's going on," he said.
BRAND CONNECTIONS
T-Mobile's CEO, Philipp Humm, did not appear at the panel as scheduled.
Sprint, the No. 3 carrier, has been struggling for years due to the troubled acquisition of Nextel. Last year, its subscriber numbers started improving, but it still has a hard time luring high-paying subscribers from AT&T and Verizon, both of which now sell the popular iPhone. T-Mobile has the same problem.
AT&T's agreement to buy T-Mobile, the No. 4 carrier, came as a surprise: media reports had previously pegged Sprint and T-Mobile as likely to combine their businesses. But AT&T was able to offer T-Mobile's parent company, Germany's Deutsche Telekom AG, much more.
The deal leaves Sprint "somewhat out in the cold," said Barclays Capital analyst James Ratcliffe.
Scale is important in the wireless business. It's very expensive to build out and maintain a wireless network, but once that's done, you add customers without incurring a lot of extra costs. That means wireless carriers with more customers can be much more profitable than smaller competitors. Larger carriers also have more clout when it comes to negotiating with phone makers.
The stock of Overland Park, Kan.-based Sprint has fallen 10 percent since the AT&T-T-Mobile deal was announced. In afternoon trading Tuesday, they were at $4.53, up 17 cents on the day.
However, Sprint's shares were the only ones to fall among cellphone companies. Those of even smaller wireless carriers actually rose, as investors calculated there might be something in the deal for them. The smaller carriers could be targets for acquisition by Sprint, or they could be in line to buy assets from T-Mobile or AT&T that regulators force the carriers to sell as a condition of approving the deal.
Shares of Dallas-based MetroPCS Communications Inc., the No. 5 carrier, were up 3.5 percent. No. 6 U.S. Cellular Corp., a Chicago-based regional carrier rose 5.4 percent. Leap Wireless International Inc., the parent of the low-cost Cricket service, was up 15 percent.
Shares of Clearwire Corp., which is building a wireless broadband network, also fell on Monday in response to the news, but recovered on Tuesday, trading up 22 cents, or 4.5 percent, at $5.28. Clearwire is majority-owned by Sprint and has a lot of wireless spectrum available for broadband, so there was speculation that it could have made some sort of deal with T-Mobile, which is poor in spectrum.
Shares of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) (VZ), which owns 55 percent of Verizon Wireless, rose on the news. The deal would let AT&T surpass Verizon Wireless as the largest carrier, but analysts said it's well equipped to compete with AT&T, and the deal would eliminate T-Mobile as a low-price competitor. (Vodafone Group PLC (VOD) of Britain owns the rest of Verizon Wireless.)
In Tuesday afternoon trading, Verizon shares were up 53 cents at $37. That was up 3.3 percent since the deal was announced. The shares are close to their 52-week high of $37.70.

Ixaris makes complex global payments fast, easy and accessible, and its technology enables enterprises within the incentive, travel, market research and financial services industries to take advantage of innovations in payments within their business processes. Headquartered in London, Ixaris has technology and customer operations divisions in Malta. Ixaris is a privately-held company, funded by leading UK institutional investors.
We have been fortunate to have worked with the marketing professionals at Ixaris to help them thru 2 brand identities and the development of a secondary platform branded EntroPay. A large amount of the sales for Ixaris are developed thru trade show marketing efforts. We have designed and managed the construction of their booths for shows in the UK, USA, Ireland and Turkey. Often, the time required to orchestrate a large booth construction is not feasible and for those smaller shows and last-minute opportunities, we developed a portable backdrop of stretch fabric that fits into a single container easily checked as airport luggage. The stretch fabric makes it easy to change graphics for specific shows.

About Lowell Thomas
The competition and awards are named for Lowell Thomas, an acclaimed journalist, prolific author and modern-day world explorer who achieved numerous "firsts" during five decades in travel journalism. He's known as a broadcast journalist, but his career touched nearly all disciplines. His indefatigable spirit of adventure and discovery epitomizes that of the inquiring travel journalist.
He began his career in newspapers and in 1914, at age 22, convinced his editor to send him on the road to write about a cross-country train trip. Bitten by the travel bug, he headed north to Alaska with a movie camera and upon his return started doing travel lectures, which first earned him national attention.
Appointed by President Wilson to help document the history of World War I, Thomas traveled to Europe and the Mideast as a war correspondent. Upon his return, his "With (Gen.) Allenby in Palestine" and "With Lawrence in Arabia" lectures in New York's Madison Square Garden led to a world tour and his first book, "With Lawrence in Arabia," published in 1924 – it sold 500,000 copies.
While he continued to write books (about 50), he became most famous for his radio broadcasts, starting in 1930 and lasting for 46 years with both CBS and NBC. In 1939, on NBC, he did the first televised newscast. He also served as the voice of Movietone News – film clips shown in theaters before featured movies in the 1940s and '50s.
As a globetrotting journalist, he became a celebrity in his own right, taking many listeners on his journeys to discover places that at the time were truly far away and entailed arduous travel to reach. He did a PBS TV series in the '70s about his adventures.
He assisted SATW in a 1960s public service campaign called "Welcome a Visitor," designed to encourage Americans to be friendly to travelers. His half-minute message, which mentioned SATW, was played on radio stations across the country.
Former SATW president Len Barnes knew Thomas personally. As Len and a small group of SATW members began forming the SATW Foundation in 1981, Len asked Thomas to be the first chairman. Thomas agreed – but died of a heart attack the next day at age 89. In planning a competition to recognize and reward outstanding travel journalists, the Foundation directors decided to name the program for Thomas.
A mark of his stature: His obituary in The New York Times spread across the top half of an entire page, with a six-column banner headline and copy that ran more than half a page deep – about 78 inches in all, including a picture of him on location with some African tribesmen.

Apogee was born out of an innovation that vastly improved the quality of audio recording.
In 1985 Apogee founders developed technology that addressed the inherit brittleness and distortion heard on the new listening medium of the day, compact discs (CDs). Apogee's unique 924 and 944 anti-aliasing filters were used in high-end Sony and Mitsubishi digital recording systems to make the CD format sound warmer and more like analog. These Apogee products were important factors in the acceptance and acceleration of early digital recording and forever established Apogee as a leader in the field.
Apogee continues to innovate with technologies and products that push the envelope. From the groundbreaking 924 and 944 filters to leading the studio-quality home recording revolution with Duet and Ensemble to MiC and JAM, the first pro products for iOS recording, Apogee creates the cutting-edge tools artists, audio professionals and audiophiles love and trust.
Our long standing commitment to manufacturing all Apogee products in the U.S.A. has remained essential to our mission. For 3 decades, Apogee has been designing and engineering products in Santa Monica, California. Building products in the U.S. allows us to better communicate with our manufacturing partners, react quickly to technological advancements, and maintain a higher standard of quality. We're proud that our mission and products support the U.S. economy, create local jobs and contribute to the country's manufacturing infrastructure.
Apogee Electronics has supported a number of nonprofit organizations around the world, as well as several in its immediate community. Today, Apogee funds a group of organizations in an ongoing effort to join the fight against child homelessness and abuse, world poverty and HIV/AIDS, among other issues. As Apogee grows, so does its commitment to the environment and the community within which it exists.
Apogee strives to achieve the most eco- friendly and balanced business possible.
From minimizing plastic and environmentally harmful components in its products and packaging to installing solar panels on its Santa Monica headquarters to offering incentives for employees to walk and bike to work Apogee is committed to constantly improving and evaluating its impact on the local and global community.
Apogee Headquarters in Santa Monica, CA is powered by 32 kilowatt solar array consisting of 152 panels that supply 60% of Apogee's total power and electrical requirements. The solar array also charges a battery backup system, which fulfills Apogee's power needs in the event of an emergency. Any surplus power generated on weekends and holidays is fed back to the greater Los Angeles power grid.


Spinach is a dark green leafy plant, with edible flowers and fruits. Spinach is well known for its health properties, and it is rich in vitamins, anti-oxidants, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also known for being full of iron, which is why it is commonly referred to as a 'superfood'. But even though spinach is a bit of a wonder-vegetable, it is most definitely not boring - it can be cooked in all sorts of ways in snacks and starters, used to bulk out main courses and even in sweet dishes such as our take on healthy mint chocolate chip ice cream and our green breakfast spinach smoothie. Read below for plenty of tasty spinach recipes.
There are generally two different types of spinach - one of which is known as savoy spinach, with crinkly leaves, with the other known as smooth spinach, with flat smooth leaves. Flatter varieties of spinach are best for using raw in salads, although they are also tasty when cooked in soups and other meals, whilst savoy spinach types are best wilted down or cooked in pies and other dishes.
Frozen spinach is very useful to keep in the freezer, as you can generally wilt it down from frozen, or you could leave it out to defrost overnight ready to use in any sweet or savoury dish that you're planning to cook. Fresh spinach is delicious, but it won't last for very long in the fridge so it's best for you to buy it right before you're ready to use it.
Take a look above for plenty of creative and delicious ways to prepare and cook spinach.

…And what is it to work with love?
Often have I heard you say, as if speaking in sleep, he who works in marble, and finds the shape of his own soul in the stone, is nobler than he who ploughs the soil.
May you taste the fruits of your labor and feel the fire of your sacred work lighting the way. And to further fan the flames of your heart, here is a brilliant Manifesto of the Passionate Creative Worker by John Hagel.


Ever since I shut down the 'dream series' respecting feedback of some bloggers I admire, I have a bit of difficulty in coping up in this august company.
The best way to do it, perhaps, is acknowledging the fact that I am more of a follower of the talent here than the talented guy.
That gives me the option to be present and active here and I spare no effort at an opportunity to express my appreciation of the valuable contributions of my blogger friends.
It's great to know that you are encouraging others to blog too!!
Wow Achu. That's the best compliment from the best source. I am very happy.
I love the photos you post of your corner of the world.


It is a delicious and hearty Indian snack which can be served as a starter, appetizer or simply evening snack. This easy bread cutlet recipe uses bread, mashed potatoes, boiled green peas and few veggies and uses shallow fry technique to make them stomach filling and healthy. Whether you serve it with tea or classic Indian green chutney, you are going love every bite of it.
Heat 1-tablespoon oil in a pan over medium flame. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until light brown or for approx. 1-2 minutes. Add grated ginger and green chillies, sauté for 30 seconds.
Add grated carrot, grated cabbage, boiled peas and garam masala powder.
Sauté for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the flame and transfer prepared mixture to a bowl. Let it cool for 4-5 minutes at room temperature.
Dip each bread slice in water and immediately take it out. Squeeze it to remove excess water and add to the veggie mixture. Add mashed boiled potato, 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs, lemon juice and salt.
Mix well and taste for salt, add more if required.
Divide mixture into 8 equal portions and give them ball shape. If you are not able to form balls, then add 1-2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs and try again. Take each ball and flatten it to form 1/2-inch thick pattie.
Take 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs in a plate. Roll each pattie into it to coat its surface with it and transfer it to another plate. Repeat the process for each pattie.
Heat non-stick shallow-frying pan on medium flame and drizzle 2-3 teaspoons oil over it. Put 2-3 cutlets on it and shallow fry them over medium flame until bottom surface turns light golden brown.
Flip them gently, spread 1-teaspoon oil over each of them and shallow fry another side until it turns golden brown. Flip and cook as required to make both sides golden brown. It will take approx 2 minutes on medium flame to cook each side. Transfer shallow fried cutlet to a plate.
Shallow-fry remaining ones and prepare for serving. Garnish each one with grated cheese and tomato ketchup.
To make it healthier, use whole wheat bread or multi-grain bread instead of using white bread.
You can also deep fry cutlets in oil. Make sure that oil is smoking hot before sliding raw cutlets in it for deep-frying. If oil is not hot enough, it may break into pieces.
You can avoid carrots and cabbage if they are not available.
Taste: Crispy from outside and soft from inside.
Serving Ideas: Serve it with tomato ketchup or tea as an afternoon snack. It is an appetizing starter when served with green coriander chutney.
Can you please give the recipe of green coriander chutney?
How to make bread crumbs? Please reply fast.
Response: Follow the given link to make breadcrumbs at home.
Can we add some chiken pieces to the masala? Reply fast, please.
Response: Hi Prajwal, I am sorry but I have no idea about adding chicken to the masala.
Thanks foodviva. Everyone was very impressed by this recipe.
Very good. Most useful for making good cutlets.
Please suggest me for how many days I can store this snacks ...minimum for a weak or so ?
Response: Hi Tanya, as we use the fresh vegetables and boiled potato, you cannot keep cooked cutlets for a week. However, you can prepare raw cutlets a day ahead and store in the refrigerator, as I have replied in the previous comment or store it in the freezer section (keep parchment paper between cutlet and store in an airtight container) for upto a week and shallow fry or deep fry them at the time of serving.
Considering I'm a newcomer in kitchen.
Can we prepared this one day before party and store the in freeze???? Please reply asap.
Response: Yes Deepika, you can store raw cutlets in the refrigerator in an airtight container or in a Ziploc bag a day before the party. Put a parchment paper or butter paper or plastic between raw cutlets to prevent them from sticking to each other. Shallow fry or deep fry them just before the serving on the day of party to get crispy texture.
It's delicious, my kids love this recipe.
Hi, I don\'t have bread crumbs. Is there any substitute for that? please help.
Response: You can use crushed corn flakes (makai poha), crushed rice flakes (rice poha) or crushed oats as a substitute of bread crumbs.
Nice and quick recipe for kids.


Memphis bound and doing us proud!
The gang fly out on a Qantas bird from Adelaide domestic at 9.30 am, off to Sydney then through to Memphis (via Dallas).
Tuesday 26th, Adelaide time Evan, Erica, Mario, Mick and Dave touch down in Memphis.
On Wednesday 27th, Adelaide time Both Lazy Eye and Mick Kidd & Dave Blight will perform during The International Showcase on Beale St.
Mick Kidd & Dave Blight will showcase at The Pig On Beale, 167 Beale St, Memphis, Tennessee.
"Our first gig on American soil and part of the "International Showcase" at the Memphis Blues Challenge - Plus it's my Birthday - I'm one lucky bloke!"
Also on the eve of the International Blues Challenge, Lazy Eye will perform a one hour set from 5.30 pm at the International Showcase, Club 152 on Beale St, Memphis.
As a part of the "Asia Pacific Blues Invasion" showcase, Lazy Eye will be the nominated South Australian act, and will perform a 30 minute set at B.B. Kings Blues Club on Beale St, at 12.45 pm on January 29th. Other acts performing at B.B. Kings will be fellow Australian "band" entrants, Zach Linton Band, Dream Boogie and Matt Roberts Trio as well as Blues Asia Networks representative, Lampoon Alley of the Philippines.
I had a quick chat over the phone with Mick Kidd and Dave Blight.
They tell me they've got their set planned all originals but one, 'I'm Not Drowning' which Dave will be singing.
"The rest of the set is pretty much what we performed at the ARBA Memphis challenge at the Semaphore Workers Club."
Mick Kidd says he plans to suit up, while Dave will be blending in to Beale Street with a white pinstriped black shirt and fancy footwear.
at the Purple Haze and Rum Boogie Cafe, both on Beale St.
Mick has written several more songs recently for a new MK & DB album for mid-year release and will be focusing on that when he returns, but says they may test them out on a Memphis audience at the International Show Case.
Mick Kidd will be heading straight back from Memphis, after IBC commitments, and will arrive back in Adelaide 9.30 am Tuesday 2nd of February for work commitments.
After his return you can catch up at the Bedford Hotel, Woodside Sunday Feb. 21st plus the Wakerie ( Riverland) Music Fest.. Sat. March 12th.
Dave Blight will be hanging in the US, catching up with some old mates and travelling together.
He heads to Nashville after Memphis then 3 nights in New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras, and expects to cross paths again with Evan and Erica in N.O.L.A.
He also plans to spend a little time blowing harp in the bars of Austin, Texas.
"Thanks again to ARBA and the Blues fraternity of South Australia for giving this opportunity to David and myself to perform in Memphis… We're just going to be ourselves and give it our best shot!"
Mick Kidd's Last show before they head off is on Friday 22 Jan., Solo @ the Blacksmiths Inn.
I also spoke to Lazy Eye about their preparation and trip.
"How excited are you about heading to Memphis and travelling together overseas as a band and with Mick Kidd and Dave Blight by your side? "
"Man, we're freaking out a little to be honest… I heard someone say the only difference between nervous and excited is a smile… believe me, with the support we've received we haven't stopped smiling!"
"We're working hard to bring it all together. The set times in Memphis range from 20 minutes to half an hour so we have to make sure everything's timed to perfection. We've checked out a lot of video footage from past years. I think the one thing Lazy Eye has always strived for is to take it to the next level as far as our music, performance and behind the scenes stuff goes. This has been a real catalyst for that. From what I've experienced, we've got some bloody good musicians in SA and we're really proud to be a part of an ongoing event that showcases that now and into the future. We owe everyone involved with the ARBA Memphis Challenge a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you."
"We're not staying on for too much longer, just heading down to Clarksdale then New Orleans for a few days to soak it all up.
We'll be back mid February and celebrating with a show down at The Semaphore Workers Club on the 19th."
Before they head off Lazy Eye are putting on a Farewell Show pool party with pig on the spit to be held at Bandarrah near Echunga in the Adelaide Hills on the 23rd January. This will be the last chance to catch them and wish them well, before they jet off.
Festivities begin at the family friendly time of 6pm.
Just $30 for food & entertainment (Kids free).
We would like to thank our major sponsors and supporters, without whom the completion and success of the 2015 ARBA Memphis Blues Challenge would not have been possible. We wish every success to our South Australian entrants in Memphis and look forward to the 2016 ARBA Memphis Blues Challenge and all it brings.
Applications for the 2016 Memphis Challenge open on the 15th of February.

Returning mussel shells to the sea, turning them into fertiliser or a component of bioplastic were among an ocean of ideas canvassed at an annual Smart+Connected Aquaculture forum last Friday.
Now in its third year, the forum brought together more than 50 people from the marine farming industry, science agencies, Marlborough District Council and other organisations to the Havelock event.
It started with eight 10-minute presentations on the forum's 2018 theme - maximising value and minimising waste.
Workshops then developed proposals for Smart+Connected Aquaculture's Value and Innovation working group to pick up and advance during 2019.
One of Friday's presenters was Nick McMillan from CFARMX, who thanked the group for its forum in 2016 on blue mussels and subsequent support. His company has been awarded $750,000 from the Government's Provincial Growth Fund to open a factory early next year to process blue mussels, initially into aqua feed and pet food.
NIWA's Sean Handley told the forum that currently mussel shells cost $90 a tonne to take to landfill but could instead help address sedimentation in the Marlborough Sounds which has increased 10-fold since human habitation. Returned shells, which are alkaline, could also help combat ocean acidification.
He said an application has recently been made by the University of Auckland for funding from the Sustainable Farming Fund to restore original mussel beds in the Kenepuru Sound, with support for the proposal from Marlborough District Council, NIWA, MFA and most mussel farming companies including Sanford.
Additional ideas for using shells included spreading them on vineyards to combat weeds and pests and promote grape yields, including them in hot composting systems and using them in bioplastic manufacture.
Other workshops promoted creating a top of South Eco-Hub to combine waste from aquaculture and other sectors and create a critical mass of added-value materials. Simon Thomas, manager of Omega Innovations (a division of NZ King Salmon) said the Omega Plus brand of premium pet food from salmon by-products showed there was no longer any 'waste streams', just 'remaining raw materials' which an Eco-Hub would support.
With seaweed often discarded during mussel processing, Helen Mussely from Plant & Food Research pointed to a huge range of potential uses for seaweed from food, to health and beauty products and bio-materials. Seaweed sandwich slices were among the ideas generated and there was also a call for a fast track process to get through compliance hurdles associated with growing seaweed alongside other species.
Cawthron's Dr Chris Cornelisen outlined the Precision Aquaculture project to develop and install sensors which could see every marine farm in the Sounds able to collect real-time data on crops, structures and the environment. Marlborough District Council's CIO Stacey Young said Council wants to acquire and manage this data for Council, science and industry use and would look for stakeholder collaboration once any Government funding for the project was confirmed.
Thinking outside the square was the theme adopted by Maegen Blom from Mills Bay Mussels, which is leading the 'raw shuck revolution.' Maegen outlined how frozen half shell mussels were the export backbone but her company's freshly shucked mussels were creating a lot of demand locally.
She outlined how the industry saw pea crabs in mussels as a problem, yet separate Japanese and Indian visitors to Mills Bay Mussels saw them as a bonus, even making salad dishes from them.
Meagen's key message was that a strong relationship with customers helps to uncover unexpected value-add opportunities.
Smart + Connected Aquaculture Value+ Innovation working group chair Zane Charman says this summed up the theme of the forum.
Smart+Connected Aquaculture steering group chair Brendon Burns says the initial forum on blue mussels proved how good ideas can be developed and supported through to creating a business and jobs, while reducing waste.
The information in this media statement was correct at time of publication. Changes in circumstances after the time of publication may impact on the accuracy of the information.


Great post! I'm fascinated by the Karoo in general and Graff-Reinet in particular. Really must visit some day. Also good to read your review of Kwandwe Reserve, as I'm not familiar with that one.
Sounds great. I need to keep that in mind as I might be attending a conference at the uni in Grahamstown next year.

Saurashtra Cricket Association Ground, Rajkot will host the 20th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 between home team Gujarat Lions (GL) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on 18th April. Being an evening match, temperature may not be considered but dew will be the factor on which teams will have to ponder on.
Gujarat Lions are at the bottom of points table with one win out of four matches played; out of the four, two of them were played at home of which they managed one win. GL is struggling with its bowlers. Playing with domestic bowlers for first three matches and including Andrew Tye for the fourth one. Praveen Kumar is out of line and length, he had given 7 wides and bowled at an economy of 10 runs in the last match against Mumbai Indians at their home. Dinesh Karthik is scoring consistently, and is at the best of his career from the past few months. Batting is returning on track and they definitely need to win this game to get a winning momentum.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost four out of five matches played and are at the bottom of the table. They have played three home matches and have been able to win only one of them. While RCB is the batting dominant side on paper, but they are struggling this season to execute; they were not able to chase 161 against Rising Pune Supergiant in their last match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, their home ground. They are trying different combinations with keeping Watson and Gayle in or out. But this time it looks that there may be some changes in bowling department to keep both Watson and Gayle in the side.
They have encountered three times in IPL 2017 out of which RCB won in 2 and GL, 3. While last two are won by RCB. Last time they had encountered at qualifier 1 of IPL 2016 where RCB beat GL by 4 wickets to enter final.

Stuck in the Psychedelic Era # 1201 (starts 1/5/11)
Title: Like A Rolling Stone
Source: 45 RPM single (stereo reissue)
Writer: Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan incurred the wrath of folk purists when he decided to use electric instruments for his 1965 LP Highway 61 Revisited. The opening track on the album is the six-minute Like A Rolling Stone, a song that was also selected to be the first single released from the new album. After the single was pressed, the shirts at Columbia Records decided to cancel the release due to its length. An acetate copy of the record, however, made it to a local New York club, where, by audience request, the record was played over and over until it was worn out (acetate copies not being as durable as their vinyl counterparts). When Columbia started getting calls from local radio stations demanding copies of the song the next morning they decided to release the single after all. Like A Rolling Stone ended up going all the way to the number two spot on the US charts, doing quite well in several other countries as well.
Title: She Don't Care About Time
Source: CD: Turn! Turn! Turn! (bonus track originally released as 45 RPM single B side)
Writer: Gene Clark
Label: Columbia/Legacy
The Byrds scored two # 1 hits in 1965, Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn! Turn! Turn!. Both songs came from outside sources (Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger), despite the fact that they Byrds had a wealth of songwriting talent of their own. Gene Clark in particular was writing quality originals such as She Don't Care About Time, which was issued as the B side to Turn! Turn! Turn! but was inexplicably left off the LP. More recently the song has been included as a bonus track on the remastered CD version of the album.
Title: Thunk
Source: LP: Bark
Writer: Joey Covington
Label: Grunt
The classic Jefferson Airplane lineup of Marty Balin, Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casidy and Spencer Dryden made their debut on the second Airplane LP, Surrealistic Pillow, and remained intact for the next three albums. In 1970, however, the oldest band member, drummer Dryden, left the Airplane and Joey Covington was brought in as his replacement. Covington's contribution as a songwriter was the offbeat a cappela tune Thunk, a song that is up there with some of Slick's more avant garde material on the weirdness scale.
Artist: Crawling Walls
Title: Inner Limits
Source: LP: Inner Limits
Writer: Bob Fountain
Label: Voxx
The Crawling Walls have the distinction of being the only band from the 1980s to get played on Stuck in the Psychedelic Era (besides the various theme music used on the show). I promised to reveal the story behind that on this blog, so here it is: The Crawling Walls were one of the first neo-psychedelic bands, and to my knowledge the only one in New Mexico. Led by keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Bob Fountain (who used a vintage Vox organ exclusively) the band also featured guitarist Larry Otis, who had previously recorded with the Philisteens, an early 80s alternative band (think R.E.M. or the Police). I had known Larry in high school in Germany (I hung out with his younger brother Jeff), and even then he had a reputation as a talented guitarist. The Crawling Walls recorded at Bottom Line Studios, a homemade studio in the basement of a rented house on San Rafael Avenue, just a few blocks south of Albuquerque International Airport and directly under the path of the backup runway. Generally this was not a problem unless the wind was coming from the south, in which case all studio activity would have to stop as a 737 or something flew over. Engineer Mark Shipman (whom I knew as a fellow volunteer at radio station KUNM) did a remarkable job on both the Philisteens and Crawling Walls albums, considering the conditions he was working under. Other artists recording at Bottom Line included guitarists Steve LaRue and Kenny Hume and experimental rocker Craig Ellis, along with a variety of bands including Civilian Joe, the Pheremones, the Soft Corps and the Mumphries. Bottom Line was dismantled in 1989 when the house was sold and the tenants (including most of the members of the Mumphries) were evicted. At that time I had only recently gained controlling interesting in Bottom Line Studios and ended up selling all the equipment to Kenny Hume and leaving Albuquerque in disgust. All of the music beds heard on Stuck in the Psychedelic Era were recorded at Bottom Line in the late 1980s.
Artist: Blues Image
Title: Fugue U/Parchman Farm/Wrath Of Daisey
Source: LP: Open
Writer: Allison/Blues Image
Label: Atco
Despite drawing crowds in south Florida and getting rave reviews from the rock press, Blues Image was never able to sell a lot of albums. This is a shame, as almost all of their material was as good or better than anything else being recorded in 1969-70. A classic example is the medley of Fugue U (emulating J.S. Bach), a jazz-rock arrangement of Mose Allison's Parchman Farm and the latin-rock instrumental Wrath Of Daisey). Guitarist Mike Pinera went on to replace Eric Brann in Iron Butterfly the following year.
Artist: Ultimate Spinach
Title: Your Head Is Reeling
Source: LP: Ultimate Spinach
Writer: Ian Bruce-Douglas
Label: M-G-M
Ultimate Spinach was one of a group of bands signed by M-G-M in 1967 and marketed as being representative of the "Boss-town sound". Unfortunately for all involved, there really was no such thing as a "Boss-town sound" (for that matter there was no such thing as a "San Francisco sound" either, but that's another story). All the hype aside, Ultimate Spinach itself was the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Ian Bruce-Palmer, who wrote and arranged all the band's material. The opening track of side two of the band's debut album is a piece called Your Head Is Reeling, which is as good or better than any other raga styled song of the time.
Title: You'll Love Me Again
Source: CD: Beyond The Garage (originally released as 45 RPM single B side)
Writer: Sean Bonniwell
Label: Sundazed
The day after recording this week's show I got word of the passing of Sean Bonniwell, leader of the Music Machine, on December 29th from cancer. Next week's show will feature an extended tribute to the musical genius whose influence went far beyond his commercial success. For now we have a song by the second incarnation of the Machine, recorded in 1967 and issued as a B side on Warner Brothers that year.
Artist: Jimi Hendrix Experience
Title: I Don't Live Today
Source: LP: Are You Experienced?
Writer: Jimi Hendrix
Label: Reprise
I remember a black light poster that choked me up the first time I saw it. It was a shot of Jimi Hendrix playing his guitar with the caption I Don't Live Today. I don't believe Hendrix was being deliberately prophetic when he wrote and recorded this classic track for the Are You Experienced album, but it still spooks me a bit to hear it, even now.
Artist: Merrell And The Exiles
Title: Tomorrow's Girl
Source: CD: Where The Action Is: L.A. Nuggets 1965-68 (originally released as 45 RPM single and included on LP: Fapadokly)
Writer: Merrell Fankhauser
Label: Rhino (original label: Glenn)
Merrell Fankhauser was a fixture on the L.A. music scene, fronting several bands throughout the 60s ranging in styles from surf to psychedelic, depending on what was in vogue at the time. For most of 1966 and 67 he led a group called Merrell and the Exiles (or Xiles), while holding down a somewhat more mundane day job between gigs. The last single by the Exiles was Tomorrow's Girl, originally released in 1967 on the tiny Glenn label and included on Fankhauser's Fapadokly album on UIP records later that same year.
Title: Ball And Chain
Source: CD: Cheap Thrills
Writer: Willie Mae Thornton
In June of 1967 Big Brother And The Holding Company, fronted by Janis Joplin, electrified the crowd at the Monterey International Pop Festival with their rendition of Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton's Ball And Chain. Over the years Joplin, both with and without Big Brother continued to perform the song. One of the finest performances of Ball And Chain was recorded live at the Fillmore in 1968 and included on the band's major label debut, Cheap Thrills. In retrospect the recording marks the peak of both Big Brother and of Joplin, who went their separate ways after the album was released.
Title: Your Saving Grace
Source: LP: Anthology (originally released on LP: Your Saving Grace)
Writer: Tim Davis
One of the most highly regarded of the Steve Miller Band's early albums was 1969's Your Saving Grace. A listen to the title track of the album shows why. As often as not, spoken sections in the middle of a song come off as silly or pretentious, but here Miller manages to make it work, enhancing what is already a fine recording.
Title: Roadhouse Blues
Source: CD: Best Of The Doors (originally released on LP: Morrison Hotel)
Writer: The Doors
Label: Elektra
Yet another classic rock radio standard makes its Stuck in the Psychedelic Era debut this week. This difference, of course, is that classic rock radio generally uses the live version of this track from the 1970 LP Morrison Hotel.
Artist: Cream
Title: Tales Of Brave Ulysses
Source: LP: Disraeli Gears
Writer: Clapton/Sharp
Cream was one of the first bands to break British tradition and release singles that were also available as album cuts. This tradition likely came about because 45 RPM records (both singles and extended play 45s) tended to stay in print indefinitely in the UK, unlike in the US, where a hit single usually had a shelf life of around 2-3 months then disappeared forever. When the Disraeli Gears album was released, however, the song Strange Brew, which leads off the LP, was released in Europe as a single. The B side of that single was Tales Of Brave Ulysses, which opens side two of the album.
Title: Interstellar Overdrive/The Gnome
Source: CD: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Writer: Barrett/Waters/Wright/Mason
Syd Barrett was still very much at the helm for Pink Floyd's first LP, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, released in 1967. The group had already released a pair of Barrett-penned singles, Arnold Layne (which was banned by the BBC) and See Emily Play. Piper, though, was the first full album for the group, and some tracks, notably the nine-minute psychedelic masterpiece Interstellar Overdrive, were entirely group efforts. On the original UK version of the LP Overdrive tracks directly into a Barrett piece, the Gnome. The US version, issued on Tower records, truncated Overdrive and re-arranged the song order. The only CD version of Piper currently available, heard here, follows the original UK ordering of the tracks.
Title: There's A Chance We Can Make It
Source: LP: Electric Comic Book
Writer: Gilbert/Scala
Following up on their biggest hit, (We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet, the Blues Magoos released There's A Chance We Can Make It, backed with Pipe Dream for their next single. Unfortunately for both songs, some stations elected to play There's A Chance We Can Make It while others preferred Pipe Dream. The result was that neither song charted as high as it could have had it been released with a weaker B side. This had the ripple effect of causing Electric Comic Book (the album both songs appeared on) to not chart as well as its predecessor Psychedelic Lollipop had. This in turn caused Mercury Records to lose faith in the Blues Magoos and not give them the kind of promotion that could have kept the band in the public eye beyond its 15 minutes of fame. The ultimate result was that for many years, there were an excessive number of busboys and cab drivers claiming to have once been members of the Blues Magoos and not many ways to disprove their claims, at least until the internet made information about the group's actual membership more accessible.
Artist: Buffalo Springfield
Title: Rock And Roll Woman
Source: LP: Buffalo Springfield Again
Writer: Stephen Stills
Buffalo Springfield did not sell huge numbers of records (except for the single For What It's Worth). Nor did they pack in the crowds. As a matter of fact, when they played the club across the street from where Love was playing, they barely had any audience at all. Artistically, though, it's a whole 'nother story. During their brief existence Buffalo Springfield launched the careers of no less than four major artists: Richie Furay, Jim Messina, Stephen Stills and Neil Young. They also recorded more than their share of tracks that have held up better than most of what else was being recorded at the time. Case in point: Rock and Roll Woman, a Stephen Stills tune that still sounds fresh well over 40 years after it was recorded.
Artist: Wishbone Ash
Title: Leaf And Stream
Source: LP: Argus
Writer: Wishbone Ash
One of the first bands ever to feature two lead guitarists was Wishbone Ash. The story goes that following the departure of their original guitarist bassist Martin Turner and drummer Steve Upton auditioned several lead guitarists and got it down to two finalists, Andy Powell and Ted Turner (no relation to Martin), but could not decide between the two. At that point they decided just to keep both of them, and a heavy metal tradition was born. Whether the story is true or not, the two definitely traded off leads for the next three years and five albums, even on relatively quiet songs such as Leaf And Stream from their third LP, Argus.
Artist: Simon and Garfunkel
Title: A Most Peculiar Man
Source: CD: Collected Works (originally released on LP: Sounds Of Silence)
Writer: Paul Simon
You would think that a high school on a US military facility would be inclined to use the most staunchly traditional teaching methods known to mankind. Surprisingly, though, this was not the case at General H. H. Arnold High School in Weisbaden, Germany, in 1967. In fact, the English department was teaching some sort of new system that dispensed with terms such as verb and noun and replaced them with a more conceptual approach to language. What I best remember about my Freshman English class is the day that my rather Bohemian teacher (he wore sandals to class!), actually brought in a copy of the Sounds Of Silence and had us dissect two songs from the album, Richard Cory and A Most Peculiar Man. We spent several classes discussing the similarities (they both deal with a suicide by someone representing a particular archetype) and differences (the methods used and the archetypes themselves) between the songs. I have forgotten everything else about that class and its so-called revolutionary approach (and even the teacher's name), but those two songs have stayed with me my entire life. I guess that teacher was on to something.
Artist: Kinks
Title: Tired Of Waiting For You
Source: CD: Best Of 60s Supergroups (originally released as 45 RPM single)
Writer: Ray Davies
Label: Priority (original label: Reprise)
After a series of hard-rocking hits such as You Really Got Me and All Day And All Of The Night, the Kinks surprised everyone with the highly melodic Tired Of Waiting For You in 1965. As it turns out the song was just one of many steps in the continually maturing songwriting of Ray Davies.
Artist: Leaves
Title: Too Many People
Source: LP: Nuggets Vol. 2-Punk (originally released as 45 RPM single)
Writer: Pons/Rinehart
Label: Rhino (original label: Mira)
The Leaves are a bit unusual in that the members were all native L.A.ins. Founded by bassist Jim Pons and some of his fraternity brothers at Cal State Northridge, the Leaves had their greatest success when they took over as house band at Ciro's after the Byrds vacated the slot to go on tour. Like many bands of the time, they were given a song to record as a single by their producer (Love Minus Zero) and allowed to write their own B side. In this case that B side was Too Many People, written by Pons and guitarist Bill Rinehart. The song ended up getting more airplay on local radio stations than Love Minus Zero, making it their first regional hit. The Leaves had their only national hit the following year with their third attempt at recording the fast version of Hey Joe. Eventually Pons would leave the Leaves, hooking up first with the Turtles, then Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention.
Title: Dirty Water
Source: LP: Nuggets Vol. 1-The Hits (originally released as 45 RPM single)
Writer: Ed Cobb
Label: Rhino (original label: Tower)
This song has long since been adopted by the city of Boston, yet the band that originally recorded this Ed Cobb tune was purely an L.A. band, having started off playing cover tunes in the early 60s. Lead vocalist/drummer Dickie Dodd, incidently, was a former Mouseketeer who had played on the surf-rock hit Mr. Moto as a member of the Bel-Airs.
Title: Daily Nightly
Source: Where The Action Is: L.A. Nuggets 1965-68 (originally released on LP: Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones, LTD.)
Writer: Michael Nesmith
Label: Rhino (original label: Colgems)
One of the first rock songs to feature a Moog synthesizer was the Monkees' Daily Nightly from the album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones LTD. Micky Dolenz, who had a reputation for nailing it on the first take but being unable to duplicate his success in subsequent attempts, was at the controls of the new technology for this recording of Michael Nesmith's most psychedelic song (he also sang lead on it). Here we have a slightly different mono mix of the tune, with the synthesizer a bit more prominent than on the stereo LP.
Title: Dear Doctor
Source: LP: Beggar's Banquet
Writer: Jagger/Richards
Label: London
The term Anglophile is usually used to describe Americans with a fascination for all things British. Just what is the term for the opposite situation? Whatever it might be, the Stones have always been an example, from their open idolization of Chuck Berry and other Chess Records artists to songs like this one, which sounds more like Appalachian folk music than anything British.
Title: Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square
Source: CD: Stand Up
Writer: Ian Anderson
Label: Chrysalis/Capitol (original label: Reprise)
Another rock band influenced by folk music, Jethro Tull incorporated traditional Indian instruments on Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square, one of a pair of tunes named for future bassist Jeffery Hammond.
Artist: Jan And Dean
Title: The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
Source: LP: The Little Old Lady From Pasadena
Writer: Atfeld/Christian
Label: Liberty
Just for something completely different we have this famous Jan And Dean hit from 1964. The song was inspired by a popular TV ad campaign for Southern California Dodge dealers that was a parody of the cliche about the used car that was only driven by a "little old lady from Pasadena to go to church on Sundays". Kathryn "Put a Dodge in your garage, honey" Minner, the chracter actress who had starred in the commercials, appeared with Jan And Dean on the album cover.
Title: Someone's Coming
Source: CD: Magic Bus-The Who On Tour
Writer: John Entwhistle
Label: MCA
Some songs just get no respect. First released in 1967 in the UK as the B side of I Can See For Miles, John Alec Entwistle's Someone's Coming got left off the US release entirely. It wasn't until the release of the Magic Bus single (and subsequent LP) in 1968 that the tune appeared on US vinyl, and then, once again as a B side. The Magic Bus album, however, was never issued on CD in the US, although it has been available as a Canadian import (heard here) for several years. Finally, in 1995 the song found a home on a US CD as a bonus track on The Who Sell Out.
Title: Baby Please Don't Go
Source: LP: Backtrackin' (originally released as 45 RPM single)
Writer: Joe Williams
Label: London (original label: Parrot)
Belfast, Northern Ireland was home to one of the first bands that could be legitimately described as punk rock. Led by Van Morrison, the band quickly got a reputation for being rude and obnoxious, particularly to members of the English press (although it was actually a fellow Irishman who labeled them as "boorish"). Their first single was what has come to be considered the definitive version of the 1923 Joe Williams tune Baby, Please Don't Go. Despite its UK success, the single was a flop in the US. Oddly enough, the song's B side ended up being the song most people associate with Them: the classic Gloria, which was released as Them's US debut single in 1965 but promptly found itself banned on most US radio stations (except in Southern Florida) due to suggestive lyrics.
Hey Hermit,
This is Bob from the Crawling Walls. I'm in Portland, Oregon now, still playing garage psych music. It's good to see a cut from Inner Limits in such good company.
The Hermit December 19, 2012 at 6:11 AM
You know the Crawling Walls is the only band from outside the late 60s/early 70s I play? Of course, just for that reason I make those appearances somewhat rare, but still am glad to have a copy of the LP.
Funny thing is, once Larry moved out of the Bottom Line house on San Rafael, I took over his old room and ended up doing all my studio work there as well, which is where all the instrumental tracks I use for theme music comes from.

Belgian CEO: Visit with Olin students his best business trip ever
By Neil Schoenherr June 10, 2014
Sebastian Delcampe (right), CEO of Delcampe.net, chats with Olin students in the Active Learning Lab in Knight and Bauer Halls. Delcampe traveled from Belgium to meet with students involved in a Center for Experiential Learning practicum project that focused on market entry strategy for Delcampe.net.

A Belgian company was so impressed with the efforts of a group of Olin Business School students at Washington University in St. Louis that the CEO traveled 4,300 miles to campus this spring for further interaction with the students, marking the first time an international practicum partner has visited the school.
A group of eight MBA students, working on a practicum project through Olin's Center for Experiential Learning (CEL), took on the task of developing a market entry strategy, competitor analysis and website overhaul for Delcampe.net, an online-selling platform based in Brussels.
"I really expect some great things to come as a result of this partnership," said Sebastian Delcampe, founder and CEO of Delcampe.net during the visit. "With the students' help, we're building a strategy for the future that I think is going to be very effective."
Since its founding in 2000, Delcampe.net has built a vast online third-party selling platform for a wide range of collectibles, including postcards, coins and postage stamps. With more than 800,000 registered users and close to 55 million items for sale at all times, Delcampe.net is one of the largest online collectibles marketplaces in the world.
The company has a strong presence with buyers and sellers in Europe, but has had difficulty breaking into the U.S. market. That's where Olin students and the CEL stepped in.
The CEL is a learning center focused on coordinating student teams with faculty oversight to tackle a wide variety of consulting projects for companies of all sizes with a variety of needs — from strategy and marketing to operations and logistics.
"I have been very impressed with how implied in the project these students are," Delcampe said. "During presentations, they say 'we' instead of 'you' or 'us.' They include themselves in our company, which I think is wonderful. It shows how invested they are to this project."
Connecting companies with students
The relationship started when Delcampe reached out to Alex Haimann, CEL's associate director. The two had met earlier at a stamp-collecting event. Delcampe wanted to know if students might have some ideas on how his company could better engage American consumers. Haimann was happy to oblige.
"We have around 20 practicum clients per year," Haimann said. "The students get fantastic work experience, and the businesses get help solving complex problems. In this particular case, things worked out quite well."
Delcampe paid for the students, who worked in groups centered around marketing, technology and business model consulting, to fly to Belgium for a week over spring break. The students met with Delcampe and his team and then began working on the problem upon returning to campus.
Delcampe and others from his company flew to St. Louis in April for final presentations and recommendations.
"As the team lead, I came into this experience focused on learning and practicing how to manage a group of students with very diverse backgrounds," said Carl Austin French, who graduated with an MBA in May and is now working at Exxon Mobil.
"In business school, you spend an incredible amount of time learning about, and discussing, big-picture business strategy, and this project was a wonderful opportunity to apply business strategy concepts and actually advise the direction of an established company," French said.
Teammate Megan Greathouse agreed.
"I was taking marketing research classes (last semester) and applying it directly to this project by developing a survey and analyzing the data to help Delcampe better understand its consumers," she said. "I learned a lot about the unique role and specific challenges of online marketplaces."
Other members of the team were Sonya Bearden, Bret Hoffman, Vishal Sharda, Brandon Smith, Iris Terolli-Hall and Manman Zhang.
By the time Delcampe and his team left campus April 27, they had committed to making significant strategic changes to the direction of the company based on the recommendations of the students.
Not only that, Delcampe told organizers it was the best business trip he had ever taken.
"Companies should feel free to reach out to us," Haimann said. "The CEL is always looking for opportunities to connect national and international companies with our great students."
