With the big day at hand, I awoke around 3:30 am (alarm was set for 4:00) and began preparing, with my usual pre-race breakfast of oatmeal with milk, a cup of cappuccino, and a banana-blueberry smoothie. I was out of the house at 5:30 and on the 6:00 am MARTA train from Doraville. The excitement of the runners was palpable as we boarded the trains, and even more so three stops later, when the runners packed the escalator at Lenox Station. Lenox Road was closed to automobile traffic, and hundreds of prospective runners were already walking to the starting area. After finding my way to corral C by 6:30 am, I decided to walk around a bit and take some photos, and on my way to take a photo of the starting line, I saw my coaches Curt and Kathie Walker.
This year we were quite fortunate with the weather: thanks to a hurricane on the outer banks of North Carolina, the hot air had been vacuumed out of the southeast and the temperature was quite pleasant, 63 deg F at the start, and mostly clear skies with only a few light clouds. This is about as cool as it gets in Atlanta in July. With the excellent conditions, I hope that the elite runners will set some course records today! And I feel good about my own prospects for a good race.
Incredibly great weather for the start of the Peachtree Road Race!
My strategy for today's race evolved in the course of the week. I decided to break the race into two 5K races: the first 5K, with mostly level and downhill sections, would probably be the easiest 5K that I've ever run, whereas the second 5K, with the first two miles uphill, would undoubtably be the toughest 5K. My goal was to stay with the middle of the pack for the first 5K or 3 miles, not aiming to pass people, and just have a comfortable jog, letting the other runners in wave C carry me along. Then upon reaching the hills in miles 4 and 5, focus on form and take my time going uphill if I needed it. The point was to have a decent reserve of energy for the last mile, and hopefully even a burst of speed in the homestretch.
And a much larger group of runners behind.
As the clock passed 7:00 am, corral C quickly began to fill. I took a spot about 25 feet from the front of the corral, and warmed up in place while waiting for the start. While I was waiting, I felt a twinge of sadness that I had lived in Atlanta for over 15 years, yet I had never before participated in the Peachtree Road Race, not even as a spectator. I had let my fitness level drop quite badly over those years, until getting back in shape over the past year. But I pushed that negative thought aside with the mantra "Better late than never!" At 7:30 sharp, we heard the announcement of the elite runners beginning their race, followed by subseeded runners and wave A. As wave B moved up to the starting line, the fence blocking the front of our corral was removed. The buzz of excitement in our group increased, as we were soon to be released! It was ironic to feel an impending sense of freedom as we headed for the US flag in front of us, in our celebration of Independence Day! After another couple of moments, the corral official gave permission to WALK the block to the starting line. After walking a few dozen steps, everyone began jogging to the start line, we were all so excited to begin! The announcer picked up on our energy, although I don't recall exactly what he said, but something like "Wave C can't wait to begin!" The seconds ticked down quickly to 7:40:00 am, and the wave C runners were given the signal to start! As I crossed the starting line, it sank in: Finally, I am now running my first Peachtree Road Race!
Elevation profile and route map completed, with approximate mile markers on both maps. The downward spikes on the elevation map are artifacts from running over two bridges and the overpass at I-85. The GPS apparently recorded the elevation of the lower level, possibly from a topographic map.
Mile 1: I started out in the middle of the left lane, and managed to stay away from the medians throughout the starting mile. Wave C was the right wave for me, even though I had only one time that qualified me. I had no trouble keeping up with the runners around me. The large number of runners was not a problem given the width of the road (six lanes), and with everyone at a similar pace, the crowd was not holding me back. But to conserve energy, I held back from deliberately passing people, even though I felt that I could run faster, but remembering that mile 1 of a 10K was only the warmup. It was really fun to run past familiar landmarks in the first mile from the middle of the road, including the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Bistro Niko. I had read that most fans would be at the end, but was pleasantly surprised to see plenty of spectators cheering us on at the start. There were also a couple of bands playing upbeat music before we reached Piedmont Road. Unfortunately as I neared the mile 1 sign, my left shoelace came untied! I worked my way to the left of the road, pulled off to tie up quickly and resumed pace as quickly as possible. With the cheering crowds and the sounds of my fellow runners, I could not hear the alerts from my tracking program, but I felt that I was running a proper pace. When I checked afterwards, I had covered mile 1 in 8:01.
Mile 2: We proceeded through the intersection with Roswell Road and East Paces Ferry, as the road began perceptibly downhill. Everyone was running pretty easily. Occasionally another runner would dash by quickly but I didn't let it bother me, as I continued to keep pace with the crest of the wave. Wave B had a five-minute headstart on us, so there was apparently still a clear gap between our waves. When I heard a sideline announcer call out "Here comes wave C" I realized that I was still near the front of the wave! As we worked our way towards the intersection with Wesley Road, known as "Jesus Junction" due to the proximity of three large Christian churches within a couple of blocks, I saw the famous holy water spray on the right side. Mile 2 was completed at 16:20, 8:19 for that mile.
Mile 3: The downhill slope increased even more in this section, but not uncomfortably so. I realized that I was probably on a personal record pace for a 5K. I was just enjoying the thrill of hearing the spectators cheering for runners. We passed the metro-Atlanta population sign (now 6.2 million), sailed past the intersection with Lindbergh Road, and were quickly at the Peachtree Battle shopping center. Then I could see the bottom at Peachtree Creek, and the beginning of Cardiac Hill. A century ago, Peachtree Creek was a northern boundary of Atlanta, and during the Civil War, it was apparently the last natural barrier protecting the town of Atlanta, hence the name "Peachtree Battle" for a street and a shopping center just north of the creek. We started uphill and I could definitely feel myself slowing down. A band was playing Cuban music. They were quite good, but why were they playing in a minor key? I thought, why not a happy major key to encourage us as we started uphill?! Mile 3 was completed a few hundred feet south of Peachtree Creek, at 24:33, 8:13 for that mile.
at the top of Cardiac Hill.
Photo taken on July 5.
Mile 4: As I began working my way up Cardiac Hill, that pesky left shoelace came untied, again! I must find a better knot before my next race! The "Ian Knot" was clearly not reliable (or I wasn't tying it properly). But to find a safe place to pull off to retie the shoe, I first had to get past the free beer stand, which was quite popular. This time I tied the regular knot that I learned in kindergarten, as it had mostly worked for me with only a couple of exceptions for 46 years. Quite a few runners passed me or pulled ahead as I worked my way up the hill, but I just focused on standing tall, picking up my knees, breathing in-and-out in a six-step cadence, and pumping my arms. All of that helped, but unfortunately I began to notice a possible blister developing on the ball of my left foot. The pain wasn't too bad, and I felt that it wouldn't adversely affect me for the remaining miles, but something to work on avoiding as I take on longer distances. It didn't seem to take too terribly long to reach Piedmont Hospital, and I noticed the signs for the "Chest Pain" center at the top of the hill. I was tempted to slow down and take a photo of the "Chest Pain" sign, but decided that I was more interested in trying for my best time, so ran past. The road leveled out - actually the elevation map showed it as downhill, although it wasn't perceptible to me - and I completed Mile 4 at 34:20. 9:47 for the critical fourth mile, a time that would have delighted me if I had known it at that moment.
Mile 5: Shortly after beginning mile 5, we crossed Interstate Highway 85. I looked to both sides but traffic below was seemingly oblivious to our race. I also noticed for the first time that some runners with wave D bibs were passing me. Looking ahead, there seemed to be a solid mass of runners heading uphill, as we entered midtown Atlanta, so any gaps from the beginning were completely closed by this point of the race. The landmarks of Rhodes Hall and the intersection with 17th Street came up fairly soon; only seven blocks to the turn onto 10th Street! I was slowing down again but was determined not to stop running, even as I passed a couple of walkers none too quickly. The median strip divided the street in parts of Midtown, and I decided to run to the right of the median, as the runners on the left side of the median were running quite a bit faster. This was a good decision, as the few walkers in this area stayed well to the right. Then, disaster struck once again, with that left shoelace! I had to work my way to the right side this time, and tied it down really tightly, then resumed my run. There was another fairly steep uphill as we approached the High Museum and the Woodruff Arts Center. Some bloggers claim that this is the high point and it's downhill from here, but in fact there are still a few more blocks uphill, although not the slope is not severe, except for people who have already run 4-3/4 miles to that point. I was able to take a glimpse at my phone shortly before reaching the mile 5 marker, and was delighted to see 42 minutes and some seconds. Finally I knew that I was truly on a good pace and might match or slightly beat my 10K personal record, if I could maintain or exceed a 10-minute per mile pace. I completed mile 5 at 44:15, 9:55 for the fifth mile.
Mile 6: Upon reaching 12th Street, I knew, finally, that it would be mostly downhill the rest of the way. I wasn't able to pick up speed at first, but after making a sweeping left turn onto 10th Street, the descent was perceptible. Upon passing Juniper Street, I was able to force myself to go a little faster, then we reached Piedmont Road. Three long blocks to go? I was so happy to see the green expanses of Piedmont Park to my left, and that spurred me to press even faster. We passed under the overhead photographers, and I raised my hands with two thumbs up as I approached their station. Although I didn't see a sign for the 6-mile mark, it would be at Argonne Street, which I crossed at 53:40, 9:25 for mile 6.
Bonnie photographed me racing to the finish!
The final 0.22 mile: I was determined to give the finish my best, and was going to use every last available calorie. But I couldn't see the finish line for the longest time! It wasn't until we turned downhill that I could see the blue bar marking the finish line, just past the Charles Allen gate to Piedmont Park. I expended every bit of energy into running as fast as I could, even passing a few runners that were flagging at the end. I raised my arms in victory as I crossed the finish line. My official time: 55:36, a few seconds slower than my PR in February, but nearly two minutes faster than the Memorial Day 10K in Marietta. And now I'm optimistic that I can do better when the weather cools again, and running easier courses such as the Eastside Beltline and Charles Harris 10K races.
We continued jogging for about 100 feet along 10th Street to clear the finish area before turning into Piedmont Park, where volunteers gave us water, and then the official finisher's T-shirt. After checking in at the Atlanta Track Club, I saw a few friends from the Emory and Georgia Tech chemistry faculties. The Georgia Tech prof was wearing a sub-seeded runner bib, although I shouldn't have been surprised, as he won his 30-something age group in the Phidippides 5K back in December. Best of all, the Emory prof, who is a very good friend, had successfully recovered from an Achilles tendon injury while training for a marathon in March, had a pain-free race today, and finished just under 50 minutes! I then found three of the In-Training for Peachtree coachers, Curt, Kathie, and Chuck. The free food was grits from Waffle House (I was hoping for a breakfast burrito) so I skipped the food and accepted a cold Powerade. It took me a few minutes to find Bonnie and her parents but it was great to celebrate with them! We had lunch at Jason's Deli at a curbside table on 10th Street after watching Meb Keflezighi dash by on his quest to start as the last runner and pass 22,500 runners in a fundraiser for Kilometer Kids, a children's running support group sponsored by the Atlanta Track Club.
Goals: To have a memorable race: Achieved!
To finish in less than 60 minutes: Achieved!
To challenge my personal record of 55:29 for the 10K distance: 55:36, I'll take it!
Item to work on: tying my shoelaces in secure fashion!

Dr. Tadelech Atomssa Keyeta is the first Ethiopian woman to earn her PhD in Physics in Ethiopia.
bilisummaa June 2, 2015	Leave a comment
Discover Oromia in Africa
Her fields of specialization are Quantum Optics for her MSc and Laser Spectroscopy for her PhD. Quantum optics deals mainly with the quantum analysis of the properties of light generated by various optical systems such as a laser. Laser spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between matter and radiated energy using laser. The word laser is an acronym composed of the initial letters of "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". Laser is a powerful light that can detect aspects of matter; it is used for example in cancer detection and treatment. Dr. Tadelech loves her field and loves to teach others about it. It must show, because she was voted best instructor by the University Student Council for 2012 and 2013, because her teaching methodology is so effective.
Tadelech was born in Ambo in 1968 into a family that included a much older sister and a brother on her father's side. She grew up and went to school with her older brother's and sister's children most of whom were older than she was. Her father was a farmer and her mother worked in their home, caring for the children and the household. Both her mother and father strongly encouraged her education and she entered the local primary school in Guder when she was four, along with her nieces and nephews. One of her older nephews became an engineer and encouraged her to study engineering because she was talented in mathematics and science; so her first dream was to become an engineer.
In high school, Tadelech had a physics teacher in the 11th grade who was a tough and excellent teacher. Others had told her that physics was a difficult subject but she wanted to try it to see if she could prove that she could do it. She found her physics teacher inspiring and encouraging, and though it took patience, persistence and hard work, she mastered the subject and excelled. She also took the industrial arts stream in vocational training, and loved the technical work she was able to do, including electricity, woodwork and drawing. She was not the only girl in her industrial arts classes, but she was the only one who earned her diploma.
Tadelech then joined Bahir Dar Teachers' College where she studied physics and mathematics with the intention of becoming a science teacher. After she received her diploma at the age of 19, she taught high school physics at Batu Terara Comprehensive Secondary School in Bale Goba, Oromia, for 3 years, then at Robe High School in Bale for 5 years, for two years at Sebeta High School, one year at Higher 12 Comprehensive Secondary School and one year at Entoto Technical High School both in Addis Ababa.
Meanwhile, after she had taught for 3 years, Tadelech had joined Addis Ababa University's summer program to earn her B.Sc. in Physics, while teaching; she continued to complete the program requirements each summer, and finally, after teaching at Sebeta High School, she joined the regular university program and completed her B.Sc. when she was 31. She always loved to study and to keep learning more about her field. To enroll for her MSc, she had to compete for the one sponsorship available in physics – and to her delight, won. After earning her MSc, she joined the curriculum department of Addis Ababa City Education Bureau for one year as a curriculum expert, where she wrote a 7th grade physics text book.
After one year, she was invited to join Addis Ababa University as a physics instructor. Two years later, she enrolled in the five-year Physics PhD program at Addis Ababa University while she continued to teach physics to undergraduates half-time. Her doctoral dissertation, which was eventually published, analyzed the composition of the compounds and elements present in various kinds of tea leaves, using UV visible, and fluorescence spectrometry instruments available in Ethiopia as well as laser induced breakdown spectrometry which she was able to conduct in India. Among other things, she confirmed that green tea leaves have a much greater concentration of the catechins that have strong anti-cancer properties; there is one variety of green tea called Ethiopian green tea that grows in Ethiopia. She also confirmed that the caffeine in tea leaves is much greater per equivalent weight than in coffee, although a typical cup of tea has less caffeine than a typical cup of coffee, because the amount of tea leaves used is small. She also determined optical properties of caffeine and catechins in different solvents. Tadelech has presented a research paper on caffeine content in tea leaves in India, has published two papers in professional journals and submitted two more for publication.
Tadelech was the first woman to earn her PhD in physics in Ethiopia. While few women have studied physics at the university level, the number is growing. Today there are 2 women PhD students and one 4th year, three 3rd year and about 6 freshmen women students in physics. Tadelech always encourages women to join the physics department. Although there is always some drop-off from the numbers in freshman class to graduation, Tadelech says that this year's freshman class has more women than in previous years.
Tadelech believes that women students who drop out sometimes don't have the confidence that they can have a career in physics and still have marriages and families. When they marry and have children, they lose their hope of pursuing physics as a career. But Tadelech, who is married with two children, has found her husband and her children to be very supportive of her career. Her oldest daughter is a medical doctor, completing her education at Addis Ababa University, Black Lion Hospital and her son is in the 11th grade. It is difficult as a woman to balance the responsibilities of family, household and career, spreading your time and energy more thinly between your obligations. She says that careful planning and support from your family can make it all work.
Tadelech would like to conduct further research in the field of quantum optics and laser spectroscopy in the future, though she will have to find a way to acquire more equipment for the university in order to do more. The university has only one laser instrument, which is not powerful enough to do the kind of research she would like to do. She hopes to find sponsors to help acquire more and better equipment and to collaborate on research projects with colleagues in other countries. She would like her research to focus on using laser technology for studying and analyzing cancer, so that her work can be of direct benefit to people. At the moment, cancer patients who have the resources go abroad for their diagnosis and treatment. But Tadelech hopes that Ethiopia invests in its talent and the necessary equipment so that patients can be treated in Ethiopia. And she hopes the number of women holding PhD's in physics continues to grow.
Tadelech believes she was able to succeed as one of the few women in physics because she loves the subject and she always refused to believe she couldn't do it; she says her belief in herself is strongly embedded in her. If she decides she wants to do something, she plans carefully, works hard, and has the confidence to succeed and persevere. She always strives to go farther in her field and her career.
She says that her own experience has taught her that planning your time and using it efficiently make success possible. She advises girls and young women: "Use your time efficiently to achieve success in your chosen field. Know yourself and identify your abilities carefully. Be persistent and visionary. There will always be barriers to overcome, but you can be successful if you plan your time, do your work efficiently and work hard. "

Adria Airways: and then there were eleven?
With a fleet of twelve aircraft at its disposal this summer, Adria Airways has maintained a commitment to its existing route schedule and furthermore added services from Lodz and the eastern Slovenian city of Maribor. At first sight the evidence therefore points to a relatively healthy airline, indeed, passenger uptake has increased, heavily contributing to the steady upward trajectory of Ljubljana's Brnik Aerodrome, adding substantive credence to the feelgood factor associated with Fraport's acquisition of Slovenia's primary airport. As has been previously touched upon in this blog, statistics only tell a fraction of the story or of course, form part of a narrative spun to best suit those to whom the data pertains. It will nevertheless come as a large surprise to those versed or otherwise with the details of Adria's summer timetable that the flag-carrier only owns one of the twelve planes it has been operating.
Well, actually, call it eleven. One of the few larger Airbus A320 jets within Adria's fleet and leased from the Danish Air Transport company has recently been returned to the lessor, for reasons yet to be specified. Coinciding with a period where due diligence of Adria's books will be entered into by parties interested in acquiring the predominantly state-owned airline, the stark facts that point to the sum total of assets numbering just one modest sized Bombardier CRJ900-class aircraft will make sobering reading for those tasked with selling the airline as a viable going concern to the private sector. The precise terms of the wet lease agreement for the recently returned A320 are unknown but the prerogative of the lessor to request an early return of an aircraft or to impose additional restrictions of service on an agreement with the lessee places an airline that's far too at the mercy of such eventualities materializing in an invidious position. A carrier starting from a low base of aircraft cannot expect to elicit large offers but in defence of Adria's business model, the 2014 sale and lease back of two of its operational Bombardier jets was at the time the only available course of action to avert the permanent grounding of services and ultimately, the demise of the airline.
There are many reasons why the aircraft might have returned early to its parent company but all remain pure conjecture. Insufficient levels of advance sales suggesting there wasn't a need for a larger aircraft or a mechanical failure that invalidated the agreement cannot be ruled out, especially if Adria Airways Tehnika, the Brnik-based aircraft maintenance company formerly owned by Adria was unable to remedy the issue to present the jet as 'airworthy', especially one that is 22 years old. There does though forever remain a danger to airlines overly reliant on leased aircraft that the owners have received a better deal from elsewhere or have imposed additional, post-agreement caveats to the deal to which Adria are unwilling to accede. This could be the start of a broader trend by the airline to move away from leased aircraft but until more flesh is added to the story, theories will continue to abound as to why the A320 left Adria's service at least six weeks before the end of its summer schedule.

A Trust Deed Comrie is a legally-binding arrangement developed to support all those struggling against debt. It can assist you to get rid of numerous debts to various creditors, through one reduced monthly repayment, determined by that which you can easily afford. If at the conclusion of the agreement, which is usually set at 48 months, all the terms were met and no payments are missed, then any debt that has yet to be paid off is wiped out entirely.
Once we have set up your regular payment plan you will be protected from creditors. They can no longer make contact with you directly regarding money, and no longer have the option to take legal action against you and your family. Your creditors just contact us, and we will pass on all appropriate information directly to you. Trust Deeds were developed to support the tens of thousands of Scots battling with their finances to make a fresh start without needing to consider the extreme action of declaring bankruptcy.
To qualify, you have to be resident in Scotland, or have been inside the past 12 months, possess outstanding debt upwards of £5000 in unsecured finance, and also be in a situation in which you are not able to settle the entire sum which you owe.
The process of getting everything established with us company is a sequence basic, manageable steps.
Step 1: As soon as you contact our company we will examine your finances and get an idea of your circumstances. Once we are familiar with your financial condition we will evaluate what you could realistically contribute each individual month without allowing you to continue having difficulties.
Step 2: Should you choose to move forward, we will become your established trustee. We will offer the proposal to your creditors, explaining how your assets will be managed (your property and motor vehicle are safe more often than not), and make them aware of how much of your outstanding debt they can expect to collect over the predetermined fixed term.
Your creditors then have five weeks to acknowledge the conditions. If any objections we receive do not surpass a third of the value of the debt you owe, then your process can go forward – gaining protected status. If creditors never answer to the offer the assumption is that they have approved the terms.If the suggestion fails at this stage then we can provide alternate financial advice on how is best to move ahead.
Step 3: The trust deed Debt Advice Edinburgh will now have achieved protected status. From here, your creditors are unable to threaten you with legal repercussions or attempt to make contact in any way.
The only thing that you have to do is provide your individual cheaper monthly repayment; we will deal with everything else.
Step 4: All going well, after the 4 years fixed term you'll have paid, meaning than any of the debt that remain will probably be written off entirely. It's illegal for its creditors to attempt to get any more money from you.
Get back on top of your money by letting us turn your spiralling debt into a singular repayment that you can afford.
Once the arrangement is in place, your outstanding debt cannot rise any higher – interest as well as other fees which would normally be added can no longer be added.
Creditors will be unable to harass you with regular daunting letters and undesired telephone calls.
Essential assets like your house and vehicle can be secure.
Our company will deal with all of the mundane and complicated forms and communications.
Court measures are no longer a possibility open to creditors.
The cost of our services will be settled with the money owed to creditors – there won't be any advance costs to you. They are part of the monthly installment, or in some cases the liquidation of any assets.
Provided you stick to the arrangement and meet every repayment, after 48 months all of the leftover debt will be totally wiped out.
After a period of time, the record of the arrangement will be wiped off of your credit rating, allowing you to restore it and manage your finances much more easily.
In comparison to other debt solutions, a Trust Deed can be an effective method of protecting your most critical assets while dealing with your financial troubles.
Your Home – Unless you actively desire to, it is extremely rare that your property is required to be sold. Our consultants always hold your assets as a priority, ensuring you can stay in your own home.
Nonetheless, now and again you may be required to realise some equity (for instance, the value of a property that has a mortgage minus any charges towards it) in order to get the blessing of creditors. Any equity accessible to you will have been determined soon after you get in touch with us. It might need to be transformed into cash, or 'realised', but there are numerous methods of achieving this without you losing your home. These methods will be described simply but in depth by our experienced consutlants.
Your Car – If your motor vehicle is important for your everyday needs, it is unlikely that you are going to lose it.
However, if the car is of great worth you may need to swap it in for an older or more moderate vehicle. This will allow additional revenue that can go to creditors, so you can have an agreeable proposal. If you are involved in a Hire Purchase or another type of finance contract to own your motore vehicle, then this will be considered as part of your essential monthly expenses.
Again, in the event the vehicle you are 'paying up' is expensive, then this cost may be taken into consideration.
If anything remains unclear, our professionals are happy to clarify everything in detail for you. This is your chance to write off debt completely and join tens of thousands of Britons all over the United Kingdom in using a legislated debt solution to bring an end to creditor harassment!


The name 'Cousin Jack' was given to Cornish miners who went out into the new world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were the world's foremost experts in mining creating wealth and development wherever they ventured. They introduced the game of rugby to South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Our Cousin Jack is designed in fond memory of Eleanor Rodda Pascall, a true Cornish stalwart.

2/25/2016 - My helpers and I tore out the old shelves in the Howland High School Band Room and then after that we painted a coat of white paint on the back walls. Then, we splatter painted the walls and painted and installed the furring strips to hold the shelves. Next we measured and cut the wood for the shelves to length and installed the shelves. After securing them, we put black carpet on them.


Crispy Black Bean Quinoa Burritos with Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip are the perfect weeknight meal!
What's for dinner? Don't you wish you always knew the answer to that question! I do! We cook a lot and sometimes we still struggle with dinnertime. Just because we have a food blog doesn't mean we don't eat cereal for dinner some nights:) We do our best to put a healthy and tasty meal on the table most nights of the week though.
One of our go to recipes are Crispy Black Bean Quinoa Burritos. All three peas give this meal two thumbs up! If I had three thumbs, I would raise three thumbs. These burritos are that good!
I love these Crispy Black Bean Quinoa Burritos for many reasons. They are easy to make, healthy, affordable, and filling! Oh, and did I mention delicious? Because they are!
The burrito filling is colorful and full of flavor. We use black beans, corn, onion, garlic, peppers, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, and lime juice. We also fill the burritos with Cilantro Lime Quinoa and a little bit of cheese. If you aren't a quinoa fan, you can use our Cilantro Lime Rice, both are tasty!
We roll up the burritos and heat them on a griddle pan until they are nice and crispy. You don't need to fry the burritos to get a crispy texture. The griddle pan works wonders! And we don't stop there! We serve them with Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip. Dunking the burritos is Caleb's favorite part! And we always make more than we need so we can have leftovers the next day. Work once, eat twice…so very nice!
If you are not sure what to have for dinner tonight, I hope we just solved your problem. Crispy Black Bean Quinoa Burritos are the way to go! They make the perfect weeknight meal, especially since it's back to school time! We know you are all busy!
Crispy burritos with black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro, quinoa, and cheese. Serve with Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip and you have a fun, healthy, and delicious meal!
Note: You don't want to fill the burritos too full or they will be hard to roll up. You can also use Cilantro Lime Rice, instead of the quinoa.
Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Libby's, but our opinions are our own.
This looks so yummy! I have never made quinoa before, I must get some and try this recipe. I think black beans are about the best things ever. Thanks for another yummy post!
Wow, now I'm craving Mexican! You know what we're having tonight!!
This looks delicious!!! Burritos,fajitas, tacos—smethingTexMex 🙂 –are our weekend go-to meal. too.
training for a marathon and this would keep me going!
There certainly can not be enough quinoa recipes. Looks delicious and healthy!
I love making all my burritos warm and crispy!! These are right up my alley and I love them!
Such a perfect, filling, and healthy dinner idea! Thanks, Maria!
Those look great!! Can't wait to try at our house!
What a fun weeknight dinner! My kids could eat burritos every night 🙂 Looks great!
Nice and easy and tasty!
Yum!! I know my family would go crazy over these!
Love this! Easy weeknight meal is always a plus for this household!
The word "crispy" makes these sounds beyond delish! Totally drooling over that creamy avocado yogurt dip, too!
My kind of weeknight dinner!
These look fantastic! Would you suggest freezing them or no??
I made quinoa salads cookies and quinoa and zucchini patties and it's so healthy and delish !
This is a perfect way to use things that I have on hand in volume at this time of year… the CSA delivery will supply me with almost everything the filling calls for… can't wait to do this one!
I love the idea of putting quinoa in a burrito. And the dip sounds fabulous too!
What a cool idea to use quinoa instead of rice.
Such a perfectly healthy meal!
My go-to weeknight dinner is my creamy chicken and sausage pasta. But I've gotta try your quinoa burritos soon. It could be my new favorite!
I love quinoa and I have everything on hand. Dinner solved! Thanks.
My family would love this! Great tip about the griddle!
I just made this and it was FANTASTIC!!! Thanks so much for all of the inspiration and great recipes. I am trying to lose a few pounds and I'm following myfitnesspal. Could I have permission to post this their with your name on it. Or would you be willing to? It would be a huge hit I bet.
Any chance you know the nutritional values of this delicious sounding recipe?
looks like my kinda meal!
Burritos are always a favorite for dinner around here! They make everyone happy…especially when they look like a rainbow like these do!
THESE BURRITOS LOOK VERY EASY AND YUMMY. I HAVE MOST OF THE INGREDIENTS IN THE PANTRY ALREADY. AND YES THEY DO LOOK LIKE A RAINBOW…… DOUBLE YUMMY!
I really need to try these with the quinoa instead of rice. They look delicious!
I make something similar and it is so delicious! And oh would I love to win a food processor. I have asked for one for Christmas for years now and everyone thinks, why do you want a nice food processor? I tell them my life would be so much easier with one!
We whip up our own homemade garlic hummus with boiled chickpeas in a food mill and fry eggs in olive oil. A spread of the hummus on pita bread and toasted in olive oil with runny eggs is a yummy week night dinner!
Didn't know Libby's made beans/corn. I always forget to include corn in Mexican dishes but it makes such a difference. Avocado is a given and always key!
These look awesome! Burritos and tacos are my go-to dinner too!
You guys always share the best vegetarian dishes! I had a friend just ask me if I had any good vegetarian dinner ideas and I directed them to your site! These burritos look so tasty!
I have only started eating quinoa a few months ago, and I am addicted. This looks great!
OMG!!! just made these!!! so yum!!!!!
and so love your blog!!! yay!!
We made these the other night and they were great!!! We didn't have enough cilantro for the called amount and used maybe half that each of the recipes called for and still worked well. Thanks for posting!
Had these for dinner tonight. They were great!
Think these could be made ahead, frozen and then cooked (minus the avocado dip)?
After seeing your 31 days of vegetarian meals post, I made these for dinner last night (with sweet potato instead of bell peppers) and they were delicious! Turns out my 1 1/2 year old loves onions and quinoa – who knew? I can't wait to eat leftovers today for lunch!
They look delicious! But isn't is bad to use food packed it cans?
I saw in another post that these are a great freezer meal. This might be a silly question, but do you brown them up before or after the freezer?
just curious, since I will me making this for my dinner and dont have rice/quinoa. Do you think couscous can work?
Do u happen to have nutritional info for this recipe?
These are a great idea and a method I'm sure I'll use again and again. I made guacamole instead of the crema just due to preference. An easy meal, and the leftovers made for great lunches- just threw the leftover veggies and quinoa together in individual portions and they were perfect.
looks good!! can you puree this recipe??
When I think of Burritos I think about this huge brick stuffed with rice, beans and meat. In other words, not the healthiest of option.

The Reason Paul Stanley Was The 'Driving Force' Of KISS
Deep Cut News Rock
The Metal Guitarist Who Paid Over $1 Million For Gary Moore's Guitar
Elif OzdenDecember 19, 20215 mins read
In the late 1960s, Gary Moore started his music career after being influenced by Peter Green and Eric Clapton. At that time, he joined Skid Row and released two albums with them. After leaving the band, Moore joined and worked with Thin Lizzy. In the 1970s, the music icon embarked on a solo career and achieved phenomenal success with his signature song 'Parisienne Walkways.'
During the 1980s, Moore decided to shift towards hard rock and heavy metal. He then achieved international success but returned to his roots with his most successful album 'Still Got The Blues.' Following that, Moore continued making new musical efforts and occasionally collaborated with other musicians. Sadly, the musician died on February 6, 2011, after a heart attack while he was on holiday.
Gary Moore was known as a virtuoso and has been cited as a great influence by various guitar players. Throughout his music career, the talented musician was associated with his 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was sold to him by Peter Green for £100. As it seems, there was a metal guitarist who willingly paid a significant amount for Moore's 'Greeny' later on. Let's learn who that guitarist was.
Metallica Guitarist Kirk Hammett Purchased Gary Moore's 'Greeny' For Around $1 Million
Moore used his 1959 Gibson Les Paul for much of his career, including in the recording of his most-known song 'Parisienne Walkways.' Unfortunately, he had to sell his guitar in 2006 for reportedly somewhere between $750,000 and $1.2 million due to financial struggles. Phil Winfield at Maverick Music bought it, but they later put up the Les Paul for sale on the company's website for $2 million.
After a few more owners, the 'Greeny' made its way to Kirk Hammett in 2014. The Metallica guitarist was the one who purchased the 1959 Gibson Les Paul, which is known for its unique tone due to its reversed neck pickup. According to what he told Rolling Stone in a previous interview, Moore has been among Hammett's top five guitar influences.
In the interview, the Metallica icon even admitted that the opening lick of the guitar solo of 'Master Of Puppets' is a variation of a lick Moore played lots of times. Therefore, it's safe to say that Kirk sincerely looked up to Gary Moore, and he should even be credited for inspiring the amazing riffs Kirk in 'The Unforgiven.'
Kirk Hammett told Rolling Stone the following:
"Gary Moore is definitely on my list of top five guitar influences, right up with Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Michael Schenker. His influence is strong to the point that the opening lick of the guitar solo of 'Master of Puppets' is a variation of a lick that Gary Moore played a lot.
I remember the first time hearing his blues album and just getting totally blown away – not only by the playing but by the sound of it too, his tone. And I remember being so inspired that I wrote a couple of riffs just based on his sound and his feel. And those riffs ended up in 'The Unforgiven' on 'The Black Album.'"
In another interview with Guitar World, Kirk Hammett recalled the time he bought Moore's 1959 Gibson Les Paul. He said that he noticed it was Greeny after seeing the guitar at a store because he saw the pickup screws were inverted. Hammett then played the guitar and was astonished by its sound. However, he didn't purchase the guitar at that time until Jimmy Page told him he should buy it.
In the interview with Guitar World, Kirk Hammett recalled buying 'Greeny' as follows:
"Immediately, I knew what it was because I saw the pickup screws inverted. After about 30 seconds of playing, I thought to myself, 'Wow, this is not your standard Les Paul…' and I went to the middle position, because, you know, that's the revered sound, and I started ripping out, and I thought to myself, 'Holy shit, this is a total contradiction.'
It sounded like an incredible Les Paul in the bridge position and in the neck position, but when you put it in the middle position it kind of sounded like a Strat through a 100-watt Marshall stack! And then I got it. I got it. I understood completely what Greeny was all about.
The evening of the day I looked at it, I sent a message to Jimmy Page through a friend of mine saying, 'Jimmy, what do you think of this guitar?' And Jimmy's reaction was, 'I remember that guitar. You should absolutely buy it.' So I guess I should throw that in for the record that I have Jimmy Page's approval. When Jimmy says, 'Yes, you should buy it, Kirk,' then it doesn't get much better than that!"
Although he terribly wanted the guitar, Kirk Hammett had heard that it costs $2 million, and he told his friends that he didn't have that much money to spend on Greeny. Following that, Hammett's friend said $2 million was its original price 10 or 12 years ago. Even though Hammett didn't reveal how much he paid for 'Greeny,' it seems it was less than $2 million.
Kirk Hammet said about 'Greeny's price the following:
"I was like, 'Hey, hey, hey, hey. Wait a second here. Wait a second. I don't have $2 million for this guitar.' And my friend said, 'Oh, that's all poppycock. I don't know where that came from. That was the original price maybe 10 or 12 years ago, but that's since been adjusted.'"
Below, you can watch Kirk Hammett playing the guitar 'Greeny' at a Metallica performance at Pinnacle Bank Arena on September 6, 2018.

A night worth repeating
embed note
The night fell. One by one the yellow and white bulbs came on. From a distance it looked like a firmament. Already there an affable treatment was drawn between the guests, with laughter and jokes like the great stars. All this mixed in a perfect and harmonious place, the Vinotek, there in one of the corners of Villa Fraterna.
It was an initiative (correct, by the way) that the London Consulting Group, that prestigious international consulting company that operates in the US, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean, has at least 400 consultants.
The seal arrived in Bolivia in 1999. And little by little it grew. Currently there are more than 20 firms that work closely with him, including EL DEBER. "The idea is to help our clients to optimize the use of their resources within their work environment. We have linked up with leading Bolivian firms", said the commercial director, Alexandre Massart.
A wine tasting was the ideal for the occasion; It is the first time that LCG has made an appointment with these characteristics. After the success it meant for them, others will surely come. His 45 guests know that.

Both in terms of composition and critique, architecture and food define a repetitive link: we are ultimately dealing with "arts", which completely overlap. It is a known fact that there is a form of everyday building, that repeats itself on the basis of established models now part of a building tradition, of which the market iterates the results with very few variations. There is equally a daily, simple cuisine, linked to local eating customs, sometimes unfortunately globalized. There is, however, even if a minority, a form of architecture whose results are the fruit of research and study, works, which observing them, as Valéry would put it, talk to us and convey particular sensations and stimuli; in the same way, there is a cuisine that transforms flavours and the composition of aromas into an art, turning every meal into a unique experience. If we accept this hypothesis and, that is, that the overlapping of opinions, experiences and activities, we cannot but recognize that the value of differences and peculiarities, which opposes banality, clearly expresses how meaningless it is to diffuse an international taste that rejects cultural differences, that mortifies specific identities, that does not enhance local traditions and specificities of places and contexts. It is easier to explain architecture and its disciplinary peculiarities through a comparison with a particular dish or a meal, avoiding tackling the theme of an art with non professionals, that of composing in order to build, which sometimes appears overly complex and therefore misunderstood. In a nutshell, there is a relationship of methodological reciprocation, covering the process of preparation right through to the results, illustrating to us that basically both of these activities, living and eating, are essential to survive and, as such, should respond to a characteristic of necessity which in any case cannot be limited to the simple satisfaction of one's needs. Even more interesting is to understand how architecture behaves when it has to stage the food, when it has to accommodate places designed for eating, since ultimately, in these cases for the project, it is like revealing oneself or moving around in an area where opinions, as shown, completely overlap.
Markets, food courts, restaurants, wineries, artisan workshops, are not, therefore, simple containers or distributors of taste but places in which to narrate a sense of cultural belonging, that can transform each room into a multi- sensory experience, placing taste at the heart of its genetic code. Not only the best projects and the best works demonstrate how taste is inextricably linked to an aesthetic pleasure, to the point of constructing a figurativeness of knowledge, which is no less important, in relation to the purchase and consumption of food products and the quality of the ingredients. Environment and flavours ultimately constitute, in the best experiences, the development of that symbiosis which affects our senses in all directions, creating that "fullness" of feeling that leads to happiness. Naturally, for those who can afford to live outside the circle of that emergency, which when food-related, is also pertinent to housing and vice versa.


Former East 17 singer Brian Harvey has been arrested and hospitalised after threatening to self-harm during a YouTube live stream.
Police say they visited Harvey's home in Walthamstow, east London yesterday (March 21), after becoming alerted to "a man threatening to take his own life".
According to The Mirror, the video saw Harvey discussing his apparent financial troubles and asking Prime Minister Theresa May for a meeting.
The video sparked immediate concern for Harvey's welfare, prompting police to visit his home.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement: "At approximately 18:09 on Thursday, 21 March police were alerted to man threatening self-harm. Officers subsequently attended an address in Walthamstow to complete a welfare check.
Harvey's ex-girlfriend Danniella Westbrook also voiced her concern on Twitter.
He was arrested in 2017 on suspicion of sending malicious tweets.

Rural populations face significant challenges to their health care coverage and access. People who live in the most rural counties of America are spread across almost 2,500 counties that are heavily concentrated in the South and Midwest. Individuals living in rural areas are less likely to be employed and more likely to be low-income than individuals living in other areas. Individuals in rural areas also face significant barriers to accessing care, including provider shortages, recent closures of rural hospitals, and long travel distances to providers.
Medicaid plays a central role in helping to fill gaps in private coverage in rural areas. Although private insurance accounts for the largest share of health coverage in rural areas, nonelderly individuals in rural areas are less likely to have private coverage compared to those in urban and other areas (61% vs. 64% and 66%, respectively). Medicaid helps fill this gap in private coverage, covering nearly one in four (24%) nonelderly individuals in rural areas. Further, in many states, Medicaid coverage rates are higher in rural areas than in urban or other areas of the state. In some cases, these differences are large. For example, in California, the Medicaid coverage rate in rural areas is 16 percentage points higher than in urban areas, and Hawaii has a 13 percentage point difference between Medicaid coverage rates in rural and other areas. Similarly, rural areas in Arizona, Arkansas, and Florida have a Medicaid coverage rate that is about ten percentage points higher than the rate in urban or other areas.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion led to coverage gains in rural areas. Prior to the ACA Medicaid expansion to low-income adults, rural areas in Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states had similar rates of Medicaid coverage. However, in rural areas that expanded Medicaid, the Medicaid coverage rate increased from 21% to 26% between 2013 and 2015, while it increased by just one percentage point, from 20% to 21%, in rural areas of non-expansion states. As a result, as of 2015, nonelderly individuals in rural areas within non-expansion states were nearly twice as likely to be uninsured as those living in expansion states (15% vs. 9%).
Additional action to expand Medicaid within the 19 states that have not yet adopted the Medicaid expansion would likely lead to further increases in coverage among individuals living in rural areas. These non-expansion states are home to 59% of nonelderly uninsured individuals living in rural areas. Conversely, cuts to Medicaid could disproportionately affect people living in rural areas given the large role of the program in these areas.
People in rural areas face unique challenges in health care coverage and access, including low density of providers and longer travel times to care, limited access to employer-sponsored coverage, and greater health care needs due to older age and lower income. Medicaid plays an important role in helping to address these challenges. This brief provides insight into the role of Medicaid in rural areas and discusses how expansions or reductions in Medicaid such as those currently under debate could affect rural areas. The analysis is based on data from the 2013-2015 American Community Survey and classifies counties as "rural" based on an Index of Relative Rurality (IRR). We group counties into quintiles of rurality and define those with the highest degree of rurality as "rural," those with the lowest degree as "urban," and those in the middle as "other." While Medicaid provides assistance to many low-income elderly individuals, primarily as a wrap-around benefit to Medicare, this analysis focuses on its role in covering nonelderly children and adults. The analysis shows that Medicaid plays a particularly important role providing coverage in rural areas and that gains in Medicaid coverage have helped reduce the uninsured rate in rural areas. More detail on the methods underlying the analysis is available in the "methods" box at the end of the brief.
Where is Rural America and Who Lives There?
The nearly 20% of the nonelderly population, or 52 million people, who live in the most rural counties of America are spread across almost 2,500 counties that are heavily concentrated in the South and Midwest (Click here for a county level map). In contrast, the 20% of the nonelderly population (or 55 million people) who live in the most urban counties of America are spread across fewer than 70 counties that are heavily concentrated in the Northeast. Rurality varies widely by state (Figure 1 and Appendix Table 1). By the definition used in this brief, states such as Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming are entirely rural, whereas states such as Connecticut, New York, and the District of Columbia have little to no rural area. In 11 states, more than half of the nonelderly population resides in a rural area (Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, South Dakota, Vermont, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alaska, Iowa, Idaho, and Arkansas).
People living in rural areas are more likely to be older, White, and have lower levels of education compared to people living in other areas. A greater share of people living in rural areas are ages 65 and older than in urban and other areas (data not shown);1 however, there are not large differences in the age distribution of nonelderly individuals living in rural areas compared to those in urban and other areas (Appendix Table 2). Fewer than one quarter of individuals living in rural areas are people of color, compared to over half of people living in urban areas and four in ten people living in other areas (Figure 2). Similar to other areas of the US, nearly nine in ten people living in rural areas have at least a high school diploma or GED. However, fewer than two in ten people in rural areas have a Bachelor's degree or higher, compared to nearly four in ten people in urban areas and three and ten people living in other areas of the US (Figure 3).
People living in rural areas are less likely to be in the labor force, more likely to have a disability, and more likely to be low-income than people living in other areas (Figure 4). A smaller share of nonelderly adults in rural areas are working than in urban and other areas (70% vs. 74% and 73%, respectively). Further, nonelderly adults living in rural areas are significantly more likely to have a disability (14%) than those in urban and other areas (9% and 10%, respectively; Figure 4). Reflecting their lower employment rate, nonelderly individuals living in rural areas are more likely than those in other areas to be low-income (below 200% of the federal poverty level or $40,320 per year for a family of three in 2017).
What role does Medicaid play in rural America?
Medicaid plays a central role helping to fill gaps in private coverage in rural areas. Private insurance accounts for the largest share of health coverage among individuals in rural areas. However, nonelderly individuals in rural areas have a lower rate of private coverage compared to those in urban and other areas, reflecting greater employment in jobs that do not offer employer-sponsored health insurance4 and the lower labor force participation rate in rural areas (Figure 5). Medicaid helps fill this gap in private coverage, covering nearly one in four (24%) nonelderly individuals in rural areas, compared to 22% in urban areas and 21% in other areas. However, Medicaid coverage does not fully offset the gap in private coverage. As such, rural areas have a slightly higher nonelderly uninsured rate (12%) compared to urban (11%) and other areas (10%).
Within states, Medicaid generally plays a larger role in rural areas of the state compared to other areas. Medicaid coverage rates are higher in rural areas than in urban areas in 12 of the 19 states with both rural and urban areas (Appendix Table 3). Similarly, rural areas have a higher Medicaid coverage rate than other areas in 41 of the 43 states with both rural and other areas. In some states, the Medicaid coverage rate in rural areas is much higher than other areas. Figure 6 shows the six states with the largest differences in Medicaid coverage rates between rural and urban or other areas. For example, in California, the Medicaid coverage rate in rural areas is 16 percentage points higher compared to urban areas and in Hawaii there is a 13 percentage point difference between Medicaid coverage in rural and other areas. Similarly, in Arizona, Arkansas, and Florida, rural areas have a Medicaid coverage rate that is about ten percentage points higher than urban or other areas or the state.
How did Medicaid coverage in rural areas change under the ACA?
The share of people living in rural areas who are covered by Medicaid has grown under the ACA, corresponding with reductions in the uninsured rate. Rural areas experienced growth in Medicaid and private coverage that was similar to urban and other areas. In rural areas, the share of people with Medicaid and private coverage increased from 21% to 24% and 58% to 61% between 2013 and 2015, resulting in a decrease in the uninsured rate from 17% to 12%. Similarly, in urban and other areas, Medicaid and private coverage rates increased by 3 percentage points and uninsured rates decreased by 5 and 6 percentage points, respectively (Figure 7).
Rural areas in states that implemented the ACA Medicaid expansion to low-income adults experienced larger gains in coverage than those in non-expansion states. Prior to the ACA coverage expansion, which was implemented in 2014, rural areas in Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states had similar rates of Medicaid coverage. However, rural areas in non-expansion states had a lower rate of private coverage, which contributed to a higher uninsured rate for rural areas in non-expansion states (Figure 8). In rural areas, the Medicaid coverage rate in expansion states increased from 21% to 26% between 2013 and 2015, while it rose just one percentage point, from 20% to 21%, in non-expansion states. Reflecting the larger gains in Medicaid coverage in expansion states, the uninsured rate in rural areas within expansion states fell by nearly half from 16% to 9%. This reduction was nearly twice as large as the reduction in rural areas of non-expansion states. As a result, as of 2015, nonelderly individuals in rural areas within non-expansion states were nearly twice as likely to be uninsured as those within expansion states (15% vs. 9%).
These data illustrate that Medicaid plays a particularly important role in the most rural communities within our nation. This analysis shows that Medicaid helps fill gaps in private coverage within rural areas, helping to reduce disparities in coverage between rural areas and the rest of the nation. Medicaid coverage has grown in rural areas under the ACA, helping to reduce uninsured rates. However, states that expanded Medicaid experienced larger coverage gains than non-expansion states, leaving individuals in rural areas in non-expansion states nearly twice as likely to be uninsured as those in expansion states.
Further action among states to implement the ACA Medicaid expansion to low-income adults could lead to additional coverage gains in rural areas. As of April 2017, 19 states have not yet adopted the Medicaid expansion to low-income adults. These non-expansion states are home to 59% of nonelderly uninsured individuals living in rural areas. Additional action to expand Medicaid within these states would likely lead to increased coverage among individuals living in rural areas. In the four states (Kansas, Maine, North Carolina, and Virginia) that have had recent legislative activity related to implementing the expansion,5 nearly a quarter or more nonelderly individuals live in rural areas.
This brief is based on analysis of American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2013-2015. In this brief, rural areas are defined using the 2010 Index of Relative Rurality (IRR) measure, which is a continuous measure of a county's degree of rurality based on population size, population density, extent of urbanized area, and distance to the nearest metro area.7 For this analysis the IRR is divided into five equally weighted population quintiles based off ACS weighted data. County level data for ACS was obtained by using a public use microdata area (PUMA) code to county crosswalk based on the 2010 Census definition.8 Although the IRR determines the degree of a county's rurality and not if a county is rural or urban, throughout this brief, the population quintile with the highest degree of rurality is referred to as "rural," and the population quintile with the lowest degree of rurality is referred to as "urban." The remaining three population quintiles are referred to as "other." While the elderly population is included in the assignment of rurality, they are excluded from the remainder of the analysis, as our focus is Medicaid's role as a health insurer for children and non-elderly adults.

Anti-Open Grazing Law, The Anambra State House of Assembly is currently working on a law that would compel cattle herders to provide ranches for their herds.
The assembly on Thursday resolved to refer the bill on cattle ranching to House Committee on Agriculture for their input before final passage into law.
The House had debated on the law establishing the cattle ranches in the state.
Mr Charles Ezeani, who sponsored the Bill, said that if passed into law, it would put to an end to open grazing as currently witnessed in the state.
"The Bill seeks to regulate cattle rearing in Anambra with a view to arresting incessant massacre of innocent citizens by herdsmen.
"It will put to rest, open grazing by confining cattle and dog rearing to designated places as any cattle found operating in unapproved places shall be impounded.
"Also these herdsmen must show themselves by registering their ranches as well as pay taxes, in order to generate revenue to the state and ensure food security and retain our agricultural landmark,'' Ezeani said.
The Chief Whip, Mr Lawrence Ezeudu, Member Representing Dunukofia Constituency, Mr Obinna Emenaka, Representing Anambra East, and other members who made contributions noted that the Bill would stop herdsmen from encroaching on farmlands and also help to keep the environment clean.
Speaker of the house, Rt Hon Rita Maduagwu thanked those who made contributions, but referred the Bill to the House committee on agriculture.

15 Signs He Loves You Even If He Doesn't Say It Out Loud.


A man made a "ham-fisted attempt" at evading detection when he dropped heroin and tried to grind it into the ground with his foot.
Ebrahim Hassan, 51, of Gossaford, Brae, admitted dropping the Class A drug when he appeared at Lerwick Sheriff Court yesterday. He also admitted a separate charge of possession.
Hassan had been approached by police officers in Lerwick's Old North Road on 26th March when the incident happened.
Procurator fiscal Duncan MacKenzie said it had been clear from Hassan's "clenched fist" that he had been carrying something. Officers saw him drop the substance, worth £60, to the ground and make a "ham-fisted attempt" to try to get out of the situation he had found himself in.
Sheriff Philip Mann said Hassan could be facing a custodial sentence, given his lengthy record which includes drug offences.
Defence agent Tommy Allan said Hassan had been struggling after being released from his last prison sentence.
He said Hassan had been going through a relapse when the offence took place, but he was now trying to move on from that.
Mr Allan added that Hassan hoped to take up offers of work down south. He said his client had suffered a "panic reaction".
Sheriff Mann said Hassan's record meant a custodial sentence would be justified. But he called for background reports and said he was willing to look at alternatives.
Hassan was ordained to appear again on 30th October.

This is DEFINITELY One of the Silliest Movie/TV Tropes of All Time
In a high school English class, once, my teacher told me, "Make the unfamiliar familiar; make the familiar unfamiliar."
It's good advice -- and it helps explain the existence of movie tropes. (That, and the fact that, if you want to write a Hollywood blockbuster, you have to follow a pretty simple and predictable format -- see also Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need, by Blake Snyder. You'll love it, even if you have no intention of ever writing a movie.)
Since most people don't know a world-class geneticist, astronaut, geophysicist, or whatever, many writers rely on a familiar (and convenient) trope:
The Well-Rounded Scientist.
Scientists on the screen are often depicted as, say, a microbiologist who also has the skills of a mechanical engineer, computer scientist, medical doctor, chemist, botanist, and electrical engineer. He (or, occasionally, she) can do all things STEM.
Oh! And because he's "educated" and a "nerd," he can also quote Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Dickens, and Battlestar Galactica.
And, in the case of Breaking Bad, singing karaoke in Arabic.
In real life, most scientists are extremely good at the very specific thing they're good at. They're too obsessed with their science to go to the opera and read classical literature all the time. They often don't even know what's going on in other fields of science.
It's like this:
When you get your bachelor's in science, you know a little bit about a lot.
When you get your Ph.D. in science, you know a lot about a little.
Honorable mention:
The Human Lie Detector.
I took this amazing psycholinguistics class once, called Language and Deception. It's about the language and psychology of lying.
Psychologists and detectives in movies are often human lie detectors — they're "trained" to know when people are lying. In real life, even the world's top "experts" only do a little better than chance at lie detection. (Obviously, lab experiments are very different from real world experience, but still. In a lab setting, these "human lie detectors" are hardly rocking it.)
There is one surefire way to know when someone's lying — and it's not that they glance off to the left a lot or break eye contact.
It's to know the truth.
If I learned one thing in Language and Deception, it's that the only way to know when someone's lying is to already know the truth.
Of course, there are some tricks that you can use to slightly increase your odds of detecting lies — people who are lying, for example, use different pronouns than people who are telling the truth. They don't talk about the things they didn't see or notice. But knowing these will only increase your odds of lie detection a little. Learn more in The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us, by James Pennebaker. He's a great example of an innovative and interdisciplinary researcher -- but take these studies with a grain of salt, because some of them are stronger and more convincing than others.
Now, to be fair, the TV series Lie to Me is based on real research by a real scientist named Paul Ekman. In Emotions Revealed: Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life, Ekman shared his research on micro expressions, or brief facial expressions that last fractions of a second.
Yet Ekman's own research revealed that there is no microexpression for deceit, per se. There is no gesture, facial expression, or muscle twitch that itself indicates a person is lying. Sometimes, there are clues of emotions don't fit what the person is saying. But microexpressions do not show what intentions the deceiver is trying to conceal. They only provide the fact that there was emotional arousal in the context of the situation. (Which is basically how a polygraph works -- and why they can so often be wrong.)
Here's what is true about microexpressions:
As I wrote in These Specific Behaviors Will Make You More Charismatic, Starting RIGHT Now,
"It only takes 17 milliseconds to register someone's emotions. When you're with someone, but you're distracted by other thoughts or emotions, people notice. Maybe your eyes glaze over, or your reactions are a little off or delayed. Or maybe you're being super obvious about it and using a mobile device while "listening" to them.
This makes people feel... bad. Like they're not important. Or like you're not being authentic. And they're right -- you're not. You're thinking about something else -- whether it's an upcoming deadline, a personal insecurity, or a new crush. They do not have your undivided attention." Read more >
That's why Olivia Fox Cabane encourages her readers in her book, The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism, to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
If your sweater itches, if you're too hot or too cold, if you're worried about missing the bus, it shows. People see that you're uncomfortable, but they don't understand why. Being human, they assume it's about them.
This truth... is why shows like Lie to Me and Sherlock (and The Martian, and Iron Man, and so many others) work. In order for a show to be captivating and likable, everything has to be believable about it... except one thing.
If you can accept that, okay, Dr. Cal Lightman has a superhuman ability to do something I can somewhat do naturally, the rest of the show makes sense.
If you can accept that, okay, the botanist is also a mechanical, chemical and electrical engineer (and the U.S. government is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on his rescue), then The Martian makes sense.
If you can accept that the Arc Reactor is made of pure energy, then Iron Man makes sense.
Going back to Blake Snyder's book, Save the Cat -- tropes work because, for the most part, movie producers and audiences alike want you to "give them the same thing -- but different."
For the most part, I agree. But the myth of the well-rounded scientist is one that will always make me scoff.
Gaslighting Gus
Here's a nifty one. I was expecting it to be written by another "queer/trans/fatitivst POC looking to get a major art project funded" type, but this comes from an alleged clinical psychologist who runs a "boutique" (his term) psychotherapy shop on NYC's West side. And, yes, it parodies itself... gee, haven't I seen the exact same article fifty times on that damn site? They are just recycling listicle headlines at this point...
