Vigilant Guard exercise prepares Virginia National Guard, partners for hurricane season

By Cotton Puryear | Virginia National Guard Public Affairs Office

More than 2,000 National Guard personnel from six states and Washington, D.C., took part in the Vigilant Guard 18-3 emergency response exercise May 7-10, 2018, at multiple locations in Virginia. The goal of the exercise was to improve response to a natural disaster and enhance relationships with local, state and federal emergency response partners. It simulated a Category 4 hurricane making landfall in Virginia and exercised how the Virginia National Guard would assist in the state’s response with a full mobilization of personnel and coordination to bring in additional National Guard capabilities to help the state’s response effort.

“Vigilant Guard was an Olympic-sized event that gave the Joint Force Headquarters – Virginia team the opportunity to learn and experience a massive exercise that stressed the organization so they better understand the challenges we would face in a real world event,” said Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia. “The massive amount of planning that went into the exercise paid off, and this was one of the largest training events in our history. We brought together units from across the mid-Atlantic region that had never trained together in a situation like this, and this will help us be better prepared as we look at hurricane season starting June 1.”

Williams explained that while the Virginia National Guard already has a longstanding and strong relationships with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, the Virginia State Police and many other state, regional and local emergency response organizations, Vigilant Guard provided an opportunity to expand those partnerships even further. In particular, the Pennsylvania National Guard’s Homeland Response Force provided tremendous mission command capabilities, and it was exercised for the first time in Virginia working with multiple National Guard chemical response forces.

“The best thing about Vigilant Guard is that it reminded us how important these partnerships are, and how critical the team effort is when it comes to providing the support our fellow Virginians would need in a severe weather situation or any other kind of natural disaster,” Williams said.

The Virginia National Guard hosted Vigilant Guard 18-3 in partnership with the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, and the overall program is sponsored by U.S. Northern Command in conjunction with National Guard Bureau, explained Army Col. Todd Hubbard, the exercise director. It was one of multiple exercises taking place the first two weeks in May as part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s National Level Exercise using a common scenario with more 250 agencies participating. The Maryland National Guard will host a Vigilant Guard exercise as well, and other events include NORTHCOM’s Ardent Sentry, the U.S. Coast Guard’s District 5 Hurricane Exercise, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers North Atlantic Division Hurricane Exercise and U.S. Navy Fleet Forces Command Citadel Gale 2018.

The Virginia National Guard conducts domestic operations as part of a coordinated multi-agency state response, and usually in support of a lead agency like the VSP, Virginia Department of Transportation or local law enforcement or emergency services organizations. VDEM receives support requests from Virginia localities and the Virginia National Guard is one of many organizations that provides capabilities to help meet their needs.

VDEM, along with 18 other state agencies and 39 localities, exercised its hurricane plans and tested how well local, state and federal agencies work together to address hurricane damage as part of the 2018 National Level Exercise. Exercise play began May 1 and lasted through May 11 with the majority of Virginia’s participation taking place May 7. Participants will test activities related to pre-landfall preparedness and warning, emergency response and recovery, maintaining essential functions during a major disaster, and management of long-duration power outages and critical interdependencies.

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam toured the Virginia Emergency Operations Center May 7, bringing his entire cabinet to see first hand the work that goes into coordinating a large-scale event and the many agencies involved.

“We are so proud to be able to work with so many great individuals and prepare not for if, but when, these emergencies will occur,” he said. “It was important to me, and to my cabinet, to come out and see what you do. When these emergencies occur, it takes all of us working together. It takes a tremendous amount of work, but days like this are important to really get ready for a big event.”

In the training scenario, a Category 4 hurricane made landfall in Virginia, causing severe loss of life and damage to residences, businesses and critical infrastructure throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The simulated storm caused long-term power outages and cascading effects to critical infrastructure in the National Capital Region, including transportation and communications systems.

During the exercise scenario, the JFHQ-VA staff focused on the coordination required to generate response capabilities from outside the state. The Fort Belvoir-based 29th Infantry Division was activated as Joint Task Force Omaha and provided mission command for all military operational forces in the state and coordinate directly with VDEM Regions. About 2,000 personnel were on the ground conducting training and another 8,000 were simulated as conducting operations.

“The JFHQ-VA team did a very good job of anticipating requirements, moving from routine operations and then responding to a major weather event that exceed capabilities of Virginia and the Virginia National Guard,” explained Col. James W. Ring, the Virginia National Guard Director of the Joint Staff. “They worked through the process of bringing additional resources and capabilities into the state to get people the help they needed.”

Vigilant Guard also exercised the dual-status commander process where a National Guard officer is put in command of federal active duty and reserve forces in addition to Guard forces to provide unity of command for all military forces responding to the event.

While Virginia has very robust emergency response capabilities and highly experienced first responders, a Category 4 hurricane would exceed Virginia’s civilian and National Guard capabilities, Ring explained. Additional capabilities in active or reserve Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine or Coast Guard units could join the response effort, all under the control of the dual status commander.

“A complex disaster response requires a whole-of-government approach that incorporates federal, state and regional capabilities to save lives and reduce suffering,” Ring said. “After Vigilant Guard, the JFHQ-VA staff is better prepared for the challenges they would face in responding to that sized event.”

The exercise featured “boots on the ground” field training exercises in Stafford County, the Hampton Roads area, Chesterfield County’s Enon Fire Training Center in Chester and the Virginia National Guard’s Maneuver Training Center Fort Pickett near Blackstone, Virginia. It also simulated the process the Virginia National Guard would use to bring in additional capabilities to the state through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.

Field training exercises included point of patient evacuation, distribution operations, responding to a collapsed building, testing for possible chemical contamination and aviation rescue hoist.

Anticipated National Guard capabilities for this type of event included evacuation support, damage assessment, search and rescue, communications support, debris reduction, wide area security, point of distribution operations, ground and water transportation, water purification and chemical, biological, nuclear and high explosive response support.

Key training tasks for JFHQ-VA included operational control of response forces, coordination with VDEM, mission command of subordinate units, tactical-level logistics support, force employment, identification of capability gaps and management of transitioning units within task forces.

The Virginia Defense Force provided support for the exercise as well. The VDF is authorized by the Code of the Virginia as the all-volunteer reserve of the Virginia National Guard and serves as a force multiplier integrated into all National Guard civil support operations.

VDF personnel augmented the staff at the Virginia National Guard Emergency Support Function 16 cell in the VEOC, and they also augmented the Virginia National Guard personnel operating at VDEM Region 5. They assisted with mission tracking, and VDF communications personnel also maintained regular high frequency radio communications between Portsmouth, Fort Pickett and the JTF Omaha headquarters in Bowling Green.

Units taking part in the field training exercises included the Pennsylvania National Guard’s Homeland Response Force, the Virginia National Guard’s 34th Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear High Yield Explosive Response Force Package, known as the CERFP, National Guard civil support teams from Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Delaware, North Caroline and Washington, D.C., and the Virginia Helicopter Advanced Rescue Team.

A CERFP is capable of providing support to first responders and civil authorities after a chemical, biological or nuclear incident. The team is capable of conducting tasks including consequence management, incident site communications, urban search and rescue, mass causality decontamination, technical decontamination, medical triage and stabilization and human remains recovery.

There are 10 National Guard-sourced HRFs that are regionally oriented, and eight of the 10 are hosted in a state in each of the Federal Emergency Management Regions. At the core of the HRF is a response capability similar to a CERFP, and it also has substantial command and control and security capabilities. It operates alongside other National Guard-sourced CBRNE Consequence Management forces like Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams and CERFPs, as well as federal-controlled elements.

There are 57 National Guard Civil Support Teams in the country. The team is comprised of 22 full-time Army and Air National Guard Soldiers and Airmen and is equipped with a wide range of the latest military and commercial CBRN equipment. Their mission is to support civil authorities in the event of a domestic CBRN incident with the identification and assessment of hazards, advice to civil authorities and facilitating the arrival of follow-on military forces. The team maintains a high rate of readiness and can deploy an advance team within 90 minutes of notification with the rest of the team following within three hours. The CST includes six sections: command, operations, communications, administration and logistics, medical and analytical, and survey. Members of the team can scientifically identify nearly all chemical, biological and radiological substances, assess current and projects consequences of those hazardous substances, advise an incident commander on response measures ad assist with requests for additional support.

The Virginia Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team consists of Virginia National Guard Soldiers assigned to the Sandston-based 2nd Battalion, 224th Aviation Regiment, 29th Infantry Division and members of Chesterfield County Fire and Emergency Medical Service Scuba Rescue Team. They work together to provide trained and ready personnel capable of conducting aerial rescue evacuation in situations where there is potential loss of life, limb or eyesight or significant property damage. The two organizations train together on a regular basis.

The CERFP is unique in that it is a task force that includes elements from multiple different units rather than one specific unit. Units in Virginia’s 34th CERFP include the following:

– Soldiers assigned to the Petersburg-based 276th Engineer Battalion provide command and control and incident management.
– Soldiers assigned to the Rocky Mount-based 229th Chemical Company serve as a mass casualty decontamination element.
– Soldiers assigned to the Powhatan-based 180th Engineer Company operate as the search and extraction element.
– Airmen assigned to the 192nd Medical Group stationed at Langley Air Force Base provide the mass casualty medical triage and treatment element.
– Airmen assigned to the 192nd Communications Flight at Langley Air Force Based provide communications capability using the Joint Incident Site Communications Capability, or JISCC.
– Airmen assigned to the 113th Service Squadron from the D.C. National Guard operate as a Fatality Search and Recovery Team.
– The Virginia Beach-based 329th Regional Support Group provides training readiness oversight for the CERFP.

Don’t Freak Out About The Giant Hornet

THIS POST HAS BEEN MOVED AND UPDATED. Click here for the new post.

You’re welcome to continue reading it here, but the new post is better (and wordpress is going to show you ads on this page–there are no ads on the new post).

We know that a lot of you are hearing about the Giant Asian Hornet, which is being called by a super scary name. You do not need to panic or freak out about this. Here are some things we wanted to share, since Ruby has been following this for a year, not just since the media pounced on this story yesterday. Folks have been anticipating the arrival of this invasive species for several years, so there are robust networks in place to identify and track these insects.

They look scary, and they are bad news, but do not panic!

There have been very few confirmed sightings of the giant hornet in the US and Canada. TWO of these hornets were identified and confirmed in Washington State in 2019, and a nest was found and destroyed in British Columbia. This year, ONE was found in British Columbia (near the site where the nest was) and ONE was found (dead specimen) in Washington state in May of 2020. The reason these were found is because there is (and has been) a huge effort in the PNW to educate beekeepers and the public to identify and trap them, so that we can stop the spread. Additionally, a few have been identified in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Yes, they look scary and their sting sounds very bad, but generally speaking, you do NOT need to panic about this.

If you are a beekeeper, you ALSO do not need to panic about this. You do need to educate yourself, know how to identify them (and how to differentiate them from cicada killers which look similar and are also quite large), and if you’re in the PNW, it is a good idea to learn how to trap them and install a trap near your apiary. Here is the information on how to build a trap for them (they are TOO BIG for the normal yellow jacket/wasp traps).

Calling this insect a “murder hornet,” a moniker that has come up seemingly overnight, is really inaccurate and unnecessary.

The Asian Giant Hornet Watch / Washington State Department of Agriculture has already posted announcements warning people to stop killing random bees they see, thinking they are these giant hornets. Apparently people are killing bumblebees, which breaks my heart because they LOOK NOTHING LIKE A HORNET.

If you think you see one, TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO and get the fuck away from it.

Don’t try to kill it because 1. you’re probably wrong about what type of insect you’re killing, and 2. if you’re right, you’ll likely get stung which sounds truly terrible.

To report an Asian Giant Hornet sighting, contact the Washington State Department of Agriculture Pest Program at 1-800-443-6684, or online at

For questions about protecting honey bees from hornets, contact WSU Extension scientist Tim Lawrence at (360) 639-6061 or

Here are some scary claims being made and their basis in reality:

They can sting through a beekeeper’s suit: True, but so can all wasps and all hornets and also honey bees (ask me how I know).

Their sting can kill you: True, if you are allergic one sting can kill you. If you’re not allergic, typically it takes multiple stings for fatality to occur. FYI, you can also die from being stung by many other insects that are more populous in the US. So the risk is low.

They kill about 50 people per year in Japan, the country where they are most prevalent – there are 126 million people living in Japan so the risk of dying from being stung is 0.0000432%. Given there were only 2 confirmed Giant Asian Hornets in the US (and they were killed), your risk is considerably lower than that.

They murder honey bees: True, but so do LOTS of other wasps and hornets (I’ve had two hives killed by yellow jackets), as well animals such as as skunks, marauding humans, and bears.

Honey bees in Japan have demonstrated a defensive behavior against these hornets in which the bees surround the hornet and literally cook it with the heat coming off their bodies. (This is a behavior common among honey bees in response to hornets or wasps trying to rob their hives; however the University of Washington has said honey bees here in the US have not used this behavior defensively against these hornets).

P.S. For the love of all things holy, can we retire the “murder hornet” name? It’s so stupid and nobody needs any extra inspiration to panic right now.

    • unfortunately probably not. like many wasps and hornets, the colony dies in the fall and a pregnant queen overwinters underground, builds a small next and lays 6-10 hornets, then the group of them establish their big nest for the year.

  1. Thanks for the dose of sanity and reassurance! I’ve had a phobia about bees, hornets, and wasps since I was young. While I won’t be taking up beekeeping any time soon, I’ve made peace with bees and don’t need any extra anxiety these days! Your post helps put things into perspective. Thank you!

  2. We have had that hornet in the US much longer than your article implies. We’ve had them in this country at least the last fifteen or twenty years. They are dossel as compared to our native hornet but can and do sting. Also, they are primarily nocturnal. All of this is through personal observation.

    • They were not introduced here purposely, University of Washington and the folks in Vancouver are trying to figure out how they did get here, but often with invasive species, we don’t know the original source of how they got here. They were definitely not introduced on purpose.

  3. Your math on deaths is wrong. 50/160,000,000= .0000004 = .00004%
    That’s1000x higher than what you posted here

  4. Great info, can you please take the “F” word out so I can share this with my gardening group. Thank you!

    • I chose the language here purposely, to indicate the severity of the suggestion to stay away from them, so I’m not planning to change it. Perhaps you could share with a “head’s up” there is one swear word in it, so people could know it’s there and avoid it if they don’t want to read that word?

  5. Thank you for your great information, however there is an error in your math.

    Your risk calculation of percentage of Japan’s population is off by a factor of 1000.

    50 ÷ 126,000,000 = 0.0000004 which equates to 0.00004 % not 0.00000004 %. To obtain the percentage you multiply the result of the division by 100.

    As the double check, the result of 0.0000004 x 126,000,000 = 50.4 and to get the percentage of 126,000,000 you multiply the result 0.0000004 x 100 = 0.00004 %.

    Thought you might want to know.

  6. I’ve seen these bees my entire life here in the south. We’ve been dealing with them as long as we’ve been dealing with kudzu. Yellow jackets are much more dangerous and harder to kill.

    • These are new to the US – there are some large wasps and hornets in the South for sure, but these are different. These new hornets are more dangerous and harder to kill than yellow jackets.

  7. I remember stories about Killer Bees from South America when I was growing up. TMZ has accomplished what it does best, and that’s overstate an issue, create a stir, then move on to the next big thing.
    Thank you guys for being honest and forthright about this issue.
    For those of us living outside the PNW I for one am thankful for your candid honesty. I wish you health and sanity in this crazy new world we are living in!

    • Thanks for the feedback! The main thing people are freaking out about is the fear they will kill you, so I tried to provide some numbers to show that’s unlikely. The other thing is that people think there are a LOT of them here or its an “invasion” so I also clarified that. I tried to put the threat to honey bees in context, and to clarify some of the claims being made that sound scary if you don’t know a lot about stinging insects (for example almost everything can sting through the bee suit, that isn’t special about this bug).

  8. Hello!

    This article was extremely informative as someone who knows nothing about Asian Giant Hornets or insects in general! Thank you for taking the time to write this, it was succinct and easy to comprehend.

  9. Maybe I’m just old and crochety–but I would respectfully urge the writer of this blog to avoid language like this: If you think you see one, TAKE A PICTURE OR VIDEO and get the fuck away from it. I’d encourage nature-lovers of all ages to read about what you write about, to respect and revere nature and learn as much as you can about the world around us–but language like this is unnecessary and excessive. Please re-think this and reconsider your audience of (I hope) all ages, before you use profanity like this. If we toss around words like this so casually, what’s left for when we really need such extreme (and hopefully, seldom-used) words?

    • Thank you for the feedback. I chose the word consciously, and not casually. The sentiment I’m expressing is stronger with vehement language. My intended audience for this piece is not children, so I hope the adults reading it can skim over that one word if they find it offensive.

  10. Thank you so much for this! My husband was watching videos on YouTube last night, and it was causing me so much anxiety because I’m allergic to hornets. I feel much better after reading this, and will share it!

  11. European honeybees don’t try to cook this hornet. There’s a YouTube National Geographic video showing them attacking European Honeybees in Japan. The European Honeybees try to sting them to no avail,

    • You’re right, and that’s why I noted that UW has said they have not observed this behavior here, but it is possible they could learn this behavior, so I thought it was worth mentioning.

  12. The European Hornet (Vespa crabro) is similar in shape but is smaller than the Japanese Hornet (Vespa mandarinia). It is not aggressive unless disturbed and is mostlikely what some of the commentors here have seen.. They are most commonly seen in the Fall feeding on apples on the ground and in the trees in NY. Seen next to an Eastern Yellow jacket, they look huge but the Japanese hornet makes the European hornet look small.

    The honeybee in Japan that has the defense against these is Apis cerana which has had ample time to be naturally selected for resistance against this hornet. They are a native Asian honeybee which has been kept in hives and has co exited in Southeast Asia with this hornet long before man put them in hive boxes.

    Like some of the other recent genetic selections we have done to the European honeybee, we would probably need to do some alterations for them to gain the behavior to defend themselves against this hornet.

    • Excellent information! Yes, most people claiming to have seen the AGH have probably seen the European hornet or cicada killer/cicada wasp.

      And yes, apis cerrana co-evolved with the AGH so they have developed defenses. Interestingly, another key problem for apis mellifera (european honey bee) are varroa mites, which also co-evolved with apis cerrana and don’t cause the same devastation for them.

      Our best chance is to keep this invasive species out, because the evolution of defense mechanisms takes a long time, and it’s not guaranteed that they will develop defense mechanisms before too much damage is done.

  13. I have 5 beehives and seems like everything is a threat to their mortality. I hate the thought of this guy beheading an entire hive for a few carcasses, and for that reason I think the “killer” moniker is justified, and would like to see it eradicated as quickly as possible.

    PS – The get the f away from it comment made me laugh.

  14. I really appreciate the article, was a good read.

    o Alfalfa said the behavior wasn’t observed by NG in *Japan*, not Washington.
    o I’m not the least put off by the occasional expletive but will go along with the others, in that if ‘There’s no need to freak…’ why not just calmly walk away rather than ‘get the f- away’?
    o We’re calling them ‘Murder Hornets’ because when we call out anything bad as ‘Asian’ i.e. Giant Asian Hornets, we’re accused of being xenophobic.

    • Thank you.
      I’m not sure who “alfalfa” is or what you mean by “NG” but I think you’re talking about the defensive response that Japanese honey bees (apis cerrana) use against the Asian Giant Hornet.

      The murder hornet moniker was invented to be salacious and get more eyeballs on the media articles. In the fall and winter, when first discovered, there were several media articles using the proper name. It didn’t get the kind of widespread attention that it did, when all of a sudden it was being called “murder hornet” by every media outlet.

      I’ve addressed the use of the F word in other comments, but the reason I used it is that I wanted to convey a level of vehemence that no other word effectively conveys.

      I think it’s definitely good to be conscious of language and not reinforcing xenophobia, but just using the term “Asian Giant Hornet” which is the common name for the species isn’t xenophobic by default. I personally like “giant hornet” – it’s descriptive and not salacious and avoids any hint of xenophobia. Hope that helps.

  15. Thank you for this information, it is very helpful! I live in Central Oregon and a woman I work with said one was found here this last week on her brother’s farm, “the first confirmed sighting in Oregon” according to her. Are you at all familiar with this?

Last night, I was invited to attend a pre-dinner reception that featured members of the Vancouver Canucks, Canucks Alumni, Vancouver Whitecaps, BC Lions, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Ashleigh McIvor, comedian Brent Butt and Special Olympics BC athletes.

Silent auction items

The beautiful Vancouver Convention Centre West formed the backdrop for a speed raffle, Pucks for Bucks (where guests chose a puck from a wall to have it autographed by a Vancouver Canuck), a photo booth with various Vancouver Canucks posing with the Art Ross Trophy, Selke Trophy, and Jennings Trophy, Wii games and table hockey.

There's our coach

Most of the Canucks were on hand, including coach Alain Vigneault, to help raise money for these two prominent local causes. I was impressed by both the sheer amount and variety of silent auction items available for bidding, including a team signed stick, Canucks tickets, specialty wines, an iPhone 4, and even a chance to go on the road with the team.

The silent auction opened at 5:30. The evening featured three master of ceremonies: Brent Butt, John Shorthouse, and Tamara Taggart. I have no doubt that last night’s event will prove to be another successful fundraiser.

Although I wasn’t able to stay for the dinner, I’m certain that Convention Centre Executive Chef Blair Rasmussen created a top notch feast for both our local sports heroes and attendees!

Our society has given “courage” a number of different definitions, most of which revolve around the ability to defend an unpopular principle, do something boldly countercultural, or otherwise take a stand.

But there is a variation of courage called “social” courage, a concept that has recently circulated in both popular media and academia. It’s gaining prominence in an age that is increasingly disconnected and lonely—an age that glorifies the independent, autonomous individual to the point of eradicating life-giving community in the day-to-day.

There’s no universally accepted definition of social courage, so it can seem like a nebulous concept. Generally speaking, it is a variation of courage itself, but specifically applied in certain social situations and to how we relate to the world. Perhaps it’s best understood through examples: when we’re children, social courage looks like sitting at the lunch table with the school pariah rather than making fun of her so you can fit in with the popular girls. In college, it may look like choosing not to drink at a party before turning 21 even though your friends are all imbibing.

In adulthood, however, social courage often manifests itself in subtler ways—and yet, it’s just as important. Choosing to be socially courageous can be as simple as engaging a stranger in conversation, but the collective fruit of these small opportunities can help bridge the divide between us and those who feel “other”—transforming the tenor of our culture from individualistic to communal.

The epidemic of loneliness

Even though technological advances constantly connect us to one another more than ever, we are nonetheless reporting skyrocketing levels of loneliness and feelings of isolation. A May 2018 study from Cigna reported that loneliness has reached “epidemic” levels in America, with nearly half of the respondents reporting “sometimes or always” feeling alone. The report also found that two in five Americans “sometimes or always” feel that their relationships are not meaningful and that they are isolated from others.

Various authors, academics, and nonprofits are working to shed light on this loneliness epidemic. One example is the annual event called New York Encounter, a three-day public forum in New York City featuring a host of panels on culturally-relevant topics. One panel discussed the loneliness epidemic in society and identified social courage as one way to heal the wounds caused by deep-seated, systemic loneliness. Panelist and author Emily Esfahani Smith, said that seeing another person as a “real, embodied, three-dimensional human being” is a powerful way to build meaning, as is “having conversations that really matter.”

To illustrate, Smith cited the example of a friend who lived and worked in New York City. Each morning, he would buy a newspaper from a street vendor. Although both he and the vendor had every incentive to rush through the transaction, they would stop for a moment to talk and get to know one another. Over the years, they developed a deep camaraderie. One day, Smith’s friend didn’t have the right change to purchase his paper and the vendor told him not to worry about it; the paper was on him. But her friend insisted and visited a nearby drug store to buy something he didn’t need in order to make change. When he returned to the vendor with the change, the vendor drew back and appeared wounded. By offering to cover the cost of the paper, the vendor had been trying, as Smith put it, to “raise the stakes of intimacy” between them. In refusing this gesture, Smith’s friend rejected the vendor’s “bid for affection.”

Smith’s story shows that we can build up a sense of belonging that cuts against our culture of loneliness, but we can also break it down through our actions and words. By choosing to be vulnerable, to accept acts of kindness from others, and to connect rather than to disengage, we can repair the wounds caused by our individualistic and isolating culture.

Understanding the loneliness epidemic highlights why social courage is so important. It can make a tremendous difference in disrupting our culture of loneliness and radical individualism by initiating a counter-cultural shift into community—viewing people as people rather than just passersby, opportunities to transact business, or worst of all, obstacles standing in our way.

It doesn’t take much, but small acts of social courage can make tremendous strides in the direction of a more connected, unified, and less lonely culture. So what does that look like for us, as modern women living in a post-social age?

01. Make eye contact and smile.

The simple act of looking at others and smiling is powerful because it shows that they matter. That they are worth noticing. That they are more important than the text messages or images on your smartphone screen.

02. Ask how someone’s day is going.

When I first started dating my now-husband, something that drew me to him was his genuine concern for everyone—from the janitor at our law school to the barista serving us coffee. He would always ask people how their days were going. It was evident that many of them had never been asked that question before while on the job. Some looked taken aback, while others broke into a huge grin. The simple act of asking someone how she is doing shows that she is more than just someone who cleans the halls or pours coffee—she is a human being with dignity, someone who matters.

03. Schedule a friend date with someone you admire.

Make the first move in asking someone to coffee or lunch. Often, others want to connect with us, but if we are not the first to reach out in authentic vulnerability, it may never happen. Being the first to make a move in initiating a friendship is a powerful way to exhibit—and spread—social courage.

04. Pay someone a compliment.

In a world where we are constantly rushed and pressed for time, taking a moment to stop and pay someone a sincere compliment can truly brighten her day. A simple “I like your coat” or “that color looks beautiful on you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. It’s more than just flattery: it is about showing a person that she is seen—that she matters enough for you to not only notice her but to call her out, even in a small way.

Instead of resigning ourselves to a standard of loneliness and isolation, let’s choose to be socially courageous. From engaging someone who feels marginalized to accepting a gesture of kindness from another, doing something that feels a little bit radical—even the smallest thing—has the power to change our culture.

How much data does a YouTube video use?

In today’s world, Youtube is the world’s most popular video streaming website. And the Youtube algorithm is so good to get you engaged to watch videos back to back or even for hours at a time and fall directly down the rabbit hole.

So, unless you have an expensive unlimited data plan, you might need to keep an eye on how much data you are using every month. And streaming videos on youtube is probably the biggest culprit to suck up your data quota.

Its common knowledge that using low-quality videos of 144p uses less data. Still, the popular video streaming giant offers more playback-quality options and lets you watch videos in 4K Ultra High Definition (UHD).

But as the video quality improves, the consumption of data increases.

So, how much data does YouTube use? The data used by youtube is dependent on many factors like bitrate, frame-rate, and how much bandwidth is required for each video. Depending on which mode the video is playing, it ranges from Auto(240p) to 4K resolution.

If you are interested in watching YouTube videos, you will probably want to watch the most significant volume of videos possible. Therefore, your best bet would be to store the majority of the video data on your computer so that you could watch as many of your videos as possible without having to spend an incredible amount of time retrieving them.

data does a YouTube video use

Stream QualityData Per Minute (MB)Data Per Hour (MB)Data Per Hour (GB)
4K (HFR)135MB2700MB2.7GB
1080p (Full HD)12MB600MB1.65GB
720p (HD)7MB400MB0.87GB
480p (SD)4MB250MB0.26GB
240p (144p widescreen)2MB120MB0.11GB

You will have a basic idea of how much data Youtube uses for the type of video you are streaming on Youtube.

Also read:   How to Cite a Youtube Video

It is a rough figure after the researchers’ calculation, which shows that the data used differs significantly per video; videos with more colours or frame rates will use more data. It is impossible to give a number that tells you how much data (exactly) is used by watching Youtube videos. But it is possible to give a roughly average number on how much data will be used by watching Youtube videos.

And now, we know and can see how to reduce the data used.

Manage data for Youtube

Youtube’s default settings try to play videos with the best quality possible, and streaming videos on youtube at a lower resolution is the easiest way to reduce data and manage your monthly data plan to minimum usage.

Watching a video at a higher resolution and dropping it down to a lower resolution can reduce your data usage to a minimum. And it can make vast differences if you go from an even higher resolution.

How to reduce data usage on Youtube

  • While streaming any video, you have to tap the three-dot menu button on the video screen, and you’ll see the current quality. And choose your video quality and keep it minimum like Auto (240p).
  • Or you can make some changes to limit your data usage for youtube; when you open your Youtube app, click on account on the top right side and go to Settings > General and switch on Limit mobile data usage it will keep the video streaming to SD resolution when you are not in wifi connection.
  • Disable Autoplay next video, which will stop “Up next” videos from downloading automatically.
  •  Track your data by going for Mobile Data in your device settings on iPhone or Android devices. Your mobile carrier also tracks your overall data use by logging into your account.
  • Enable the option to restrict HD to wifi only by going to  Settings > General and Limit mobile data usage on Android and iOS; it is called Play HD on wifi only if you don’t want to change the quality of every video you watch.

Benny Jet Interviews Eric and Lisa 2017

Lisa Hagopian

Lisa Hagopian spent many hours as a child watching movies on TV after school. What an education in film history - from 1930s gangster flicks, to Gentlemen’s Agreement to musicals and every other genre imaginable. Her mother often took Lisa to the Fisher Theater in Detroit to see the latest Broadway play. Her junior high school would screen films like The Red Bal-loon and Night and Fog every year and it was during this time that she joined the school’s film club. This all led Lisa to a life-long love of film, theater and photography. She really caught the photography bug when she took photojournalism classes at Michigan State University. Video production and film appreciation classes came later. After polishing her skills, Lisa & Eric Harabadian produced a public access TV series called "The Arts Uncovered"

Eric Harabadian

Eric Harabadian has been a writer for nearly 30 years having been published in Downbeat, Music Connection, & Metro Times and Big City Rhythm & Blues just to name a few. He is also an accomplished songwriter/ vocalist/ guitarist and has been the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for the bands Chain Reaction. Eric started his filmmaking ventures as a pre teen making animated and super 8mm short films for his family and school projects. Shortly thereafter he learned guitar and was off and running with music. In addition to the series “The Arts Uncovered”, Eric volunteered for the Michigan Television Network. Besides music, writing and filmmaking, Eric is also a public relations consultant with Media Stew Public Relations.

Balsam bashing

balsam 1Flora and fauna : Balsam bashing

Himalayan Balsam colonises areas rapidly and quickly outcompetes the surrounding vegetation and reduces diversity. Himalayan Balsam is an annual plant; growing from seed, flowering and setting seed within a year before dying. All Himalayan balsam plants germinate from the previous years seed. Annual plants do not have the need for extensive root systems. Himalayan Balsam grows very rapidly which necessitates readily available access to soil moisture which is why it has colonised river banks which have an abundance of moisture and nutrients. This causes a problem because Himalayan Balsam does not have an extensive root system and it is crowding out perennial plants that bind the river banks with their root systems. During flood events the river banks are then vulnerable to floodwater because of the lack of perennial plants. There are also claims that the height of the plant causes a problem by restricting the flow of the river. It is, however, a good nectar plant for bees and wasps in late summer.

Himalayan Balsam is not a native species to the UK originating, as the name implies, in the Himalayas. The seeds of Himalayan Balsam are viable for up to two years and are commonly transported in waterways. The first indications that this would be a potentially invasive plant were the county Floras showing Himalayan Balsam tracing the line of waterways through the counties. Himalayan Balsam is tolerant of shade and it is now impossible to map the location of rivers using distribution maps of Himalayan Balsam because it has moved into woodland habitats and moist soils too.

If you want to help reclaim the Torrs Riverside Park, the Picker and Mousley Bottom from Himalayan Balsam then please join one of these sessions.

Saturday 18th July,11:00-13:00, The Picker, meet at old Pineapple Pub, Salem Bridge

Sunday 19th July, 10:30-12:30, Mousley Bottom, meet at DCC Rangers Hut

A River of Positivity

Something happened last evening that I want to mark.

Yesterday was a strange day. I wrote about some of in the last post. We were inundated with Pilgrims, even though we were selling nothing and have little to offer right now. But it reminded me of last summer when there were no beds and people came and camped in our yard. We weren’t selling anything then, either. But people came and we got to hear their stories. And yesterday, when there were breaks in the crowds of Pilgrims, I was able to speak to some – always long haulers – who shared their Caminos with me. And they talked about the grieving process of being just two days away from Santiago.

It was a lovely day, when the river of positivity that runs perpetually past our gate for 8-9 months a year invited us to jump in and swim in it. For just a bit. It’s like a baptism every time. You emerge energized and grateful for the experience. Jeff and I reflected upon it throughout the day.

Last evening, we decided to head into town. We can get gluten-free pizza prepared by Greek immigrants in Melide. And it’s really good. We ordered an Athena pizza, then sat down over our drinks, waiting for it to come out. At one point, we had to move tables as a group of very rowdy teenagers behind me were so loud I couldn’t hear Jeff speaking. It turned out to be a blessing. Because of this we met Alejandra, a Mexican peregrina walking the Way. She started in Sarria and was in terrible pain. And she struck up a conversation with Jeff.

‘I don’t know what to do. I know I only started in Sarria. But my legs are killing me.’

So many Sarria walkers feel the need to almost apologize for just walking from Sarria.

Jeff smiled. ‘You’re on day 3. That’s the worst day.’

Alejandra appeared skeptical.

‘I see these people that have walked from France.’ She told us, rubbing her leg. ‘They are flying. They don’t look like they hurt at all.’

Again, Jeff smiled. ‘They looked and felt like you feel now, 30 days ago in the Pyrenees before Pamplona. You will likely just be getting past this by the time you reach Santiago. Everyone goes through the same thing. No matter where they start.’

This seemed to make her feel better. Then we asked her about how a lady from Mexico City was here walking a Camino. It was an amazing story about having a vision from her deceased sister. She always felt that ‘someday’ she would walk the Camino. But the vision of her sister told her to go now. So she left everything and flew to Spain.

She cried telling us what this walk has done for her. The time to focus. To let things, the heavy things of life, fall away. To see miracles in the small moments on this walk. And to learn to appreciate the littlest things. A chair or a wall, upon which to rest. A water fountain when her bottle has run dry. Encouragement from another pilgrim.

I was impressed. Often, those of us who have walked ‘the whole thing’ often believe that walking from Sarria doesn’t allow for the type of spiritual or personal transformation that we have experienced over weeks and weeks of walking. But this woman dispels that myth. Caminos take many forms. A Camino with an open heart is all that is required to work it’s magic.

She asked us about how we ended up here in Spain. People we meet here always do. We told her the abbreviated version. Our own story bores us now. But she was intrigued, and we talked a bit about our plans for our food truck, the cabins and the free camping. How it was born last summer when beds were scarce. She was amazed.

‘And you didn’t speak any Spanish when you moved here?’

I smiled. ‘Barely a few words.’

‘But you came anyway. And now you are helping Pilgrims. God has called you.’

We finished up our pizza and said our goodbyes. Jeff went to pay but our new mexicana friend surprised us. She had paid for our meal! Then she hugged us both.

‘You are angels. You pass on good things to Pilgrims. And so I am passing this on to you.’

I am not a religious person, but truly, something happens in this place that I can not always explain. And it’s because of this river of positivity on the Camino, that all of this comes our way. Hmm… On second thought, maybe I’m not meant to really figure it out. Maybe we are just meant to accept it, and like Alejandra, pass it on. All with the same open heart.

One of a kind vs. repeating a design.

One of a kind vs. repeating a design.

one of a kind

One of a kind vs. repeating a design.

Is what this months blog carnival from Jewelry Artisans Community is about.
For me One of a kind means that you have made it only once, and when you take a look in my galeries you will see that most of my jewelry pieces are made only once.

Why all my pieces are different, not only in style but also in technique and the materials I have used, well I like to try out new things every now and then so you can find chain maille, wire wrapping, bead weaving and bead stringing all mixed in my galeries.
I like to jump back and forth between the styles and techniques and sometimes combine them together.

Here are a few samples of my one of a kind pieces.

There are some design that I repeated several times, mostly in a series, everytime with a different colour bead in it or so. I have a few of them in my webshop where you can see them grouped together.
Most of the pieces that I made in series can be found in my shop between my earrings, my beadies, some of the bracelets and a few between my pendants.

Geverfde hangers / Painted pendants from
Geverfde hangers / Painted pendants

Kunzite earrings from
Kunziet oorbellen / Kunzite earrings

I could go on and on about all the diferent pieces I made over the years but I think you can best go and look for your selves. You can find all my work in my galeries.

I will add the links from our other JAC members when available, so you can read their view on “one of a kind vs. repeating a design.”

9 gedachten over “One of a kind vs. repeating a design.

  1. I want to thank you for the exceptional post!! I surely liked every bit of it. Ive bookmarked your internet internet site so I can take a appear at the latest articles you post later on.

  2. Wow, so many beautiful pieces! I love all of them!

    I enjoy making the same design several times on my more basic pieces. I learn a lot by recreating something and often these are made to order, so I already know someone is going to be enjoying it. Also, it helps me save energy and time because I only need to do photography, pricing etc once but people (which includes myself 😉 ) can keep enjoying this for a longer period of time.

    When I get bored with a design I take it off-line and make others. I do enjoy making some unique pieces additionally, but generally I prefer the ones that take less time to make, I can get so frustrated with unfinished projects! 😛

    1. Thank you Laurien, for your comment.
      I too prefer the ones that take less time to make.
      The more time consuming projects I mostly make when I have 1 or more days of from work.
      So I can keep working on them and I don’t have to stop to go to work.

    1. You are right about that one, I’m working on a 3 row bracelet right now that is originaly from a 1 row tutorial.
      Have been beading all day, the base 8/o herringbone with clasp is done.
      Now I need to figure out where I place the crystal embellishments.

Capodimonte a gem on the lago di Bolsena.

Capodimonte, Steden, Bolsena, Blog

Capodimonte is a small beautiful town on Lake Bolsena.

Perhaps Capodimonte is the prettiest town at Lake Bolsena. Capodimonte has a pleasant harbor and along the boulevard with various beaches are several bars and restaurants and of course my favorite boat rental company la Bussola from Alessandro Checquolo is highly recommended.

As the name implies Capodimonte, a cap on the mountain dominates here the 16 th century palazzo Farnese (yes here they are again, the Farnese family) on this small mountain.

This palazzo is one of the many residences built in this region by the wealthy Farnese family in the 15th and 16th centuries. For example, there is a Farnese palazzo in it Rome , which is now used by the French Embassy. Gradoli on the north side of Lake Bolsena also has one palazzo Farnese and what about the beautiful palazzo in Caprarola ?

The palazzo in Gradoli was Allessandro’s favorite summer retreat. He liked to spend the summer months in the area where his family lived on Lake Bolsena. The palazzo has beautiful rooms with frescoes from the Raphael school. It houses a small museum with historical costumes.

Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, later Pope Paul III, commissioned architect Antonio Sangallo the Younger for the construction of all palazzi.

Of course, a good Pope was / is not a Pope without a decent art collection. The collection of Allesandro Farnese can be found in Naples in the archaeological museum and in the Palazzo Reale di Capodimonte .

The island of Isola Bisentina opposite Capodimonte also has a memory of this Pope. This is where he had a small palace and a church built. If you want to see this island up close, renting a boat or taking a tour boat from Capodimonte is a bella idea. From the pleasant boulevard in Capodimonte you can easily reach Isola Bisentina with your (rental) boat or tour boat.

Grazie #RomanoNatali that I could use your beautiful photos of Isola Bisentina and Isola Martana in the video below.

Classic Car Flicks: C’etait Un Rendezvous

Share With Friends:

When you dive deep into 20thCentury Automotive Cinema, there is no shortage of classic films which cater to a whole range of petrolheads. For lovers of classic American iron, there is Vanishing Point, American Graffiti, Gone in 60 Seconds and Two-Lane Blacktop. However, for the Europhile you have Ronin, Grand Prix, Le Mans, and of course, The Italian Job. Plus, many fans will say that the chase between Steve McQueen’s Ford Mustang GT390 Fastback and Bill Hickman’s Dodge Charger RT around the streets of San Francisco in â€˜Bullitt’ is the best car chase in film history.

While all the aforementioned films are brilliant, as is McQueen’s amazing tyre shredding masterpiece, one film, which often gets over looked by many, tops the list for me. It’s run time was a mere nine minutes and for many years, no-one even knew of its existence. The film in question is C’etait un Rendezvous, and its nothing short of magic.

Released in 1976, the film was the brain child of French Film maker Claude Lelouch, director of such classic French films such as A Man and a Woman. As the legend goes, Lelouch had just completed a film with an Elcair cam-flex 35mm film camera and still had nine minutes of film left on a reel. He therefore decided to mount said camera to the front of his 6.9-litre V8 Mercedes 450 SEL and drive as fast as possible across Paris to meet his girlfriend at Montmarte, filming his journey along the way.

Now, as I’m sure we all know, what normally happens when a film crew wishes to shoot a chase scene on location. They ask the city to close sections of public roads and keep the public way back and out of shot. Lelouch didn’t have that luxury, in fact no one even knew it was going on. Lelouch was caning his big Benz at 5:30am, just because he could.

That is what makes Rendezvous so unique, everything you see on screen, is happening for real! No stunt drivers, no crowd control, no accident team if something was to go wrong, it was just Lelouch driving bloody fast across Paris to use up some film.

The route starts at Boulevard PÃ©riphÃ©rique and ends at Montmarte. Along the way we take in such Parisian sights as des Champs-Elysees, the Arc De Triomphe, the Place de la Concorde, the Palais Garnier Opera House and the Sacre-Coeur Basilica. Lelouch ran countless red lights, crossed lanes, drove on the footpath and became perilously close on one occasion to bowling over a crossing pedestrian (its in the film!).

Lelouch had his assistant Elie Chouraqui stationed next to a blind-archway on Rue de Rivoli near the Louvre. The reason for this being that as Lelouch came flying through this section, he wouldn’t be able to see if any people were walking across. Chouraqui was told by Lelouch to radio in if anyone was crossing the road so Lelouch could slow down.

As Lelouch approached the arch-way, the radio was slient, so he put his foot down hard and blasted through the arch-way and along Rue de Rivoli. Lelouch later found out the walkie-talkies they had during the shoot were broken!

Upon examing the footage, Lelouch thought it needed some extra spice to make it sell-able, so he recorded the high revving V12 bark from his Ferrari 275 GTB and dubbed it over for use in the film, and boy is it the icing on the cake. Yes there are certain moments where the over dubbing contrasts how the Mercedes was being driven, but such errors are quickly forgotten when considering the scale of this epic undertaking.

After it’s release, legend has it that Lelouch was arrested and the film went underground. Over the course of the next 20 years, it became the motoring world’s best kept secret. Spoken of in hushed tones among car clubs and meet and greets, pirated copies of the film started to be shown. Rendezvous was literally a kind of secret cult.

However, much to the joy of fans, in 2003, Lelouch allowed Spirit Level Film to remaster and restore his original film for re-release on DVD. However, it wasn’t long before started doing the rounds on YouTube, so buckle up and watch the film in its entirety below. Soak up the aural symphony of that screaming Ferrari V12 and the sights of sleepy Parisian streets being used as a racetrack. For classic car buffs everywhere, including yours truly, its automotive and cinematic mecca.

The Mozambique Experience

As you slowly come to consciousness laying under your mozzie net, you hear nothing but crashing waves and palm tree leaves dancing in the warm breeze. Without even opening your eyes, you come to the realization that It wasn’t a dream.

This happened to me nearly every morning. I would wake up with a smile on my face before my feet even hit the floor.  As I lay here, I can’t help but reflect on the things I’ve done; the things that have lead me to this very moment. How could something I’ve dreamed about as a kid, be happening?

Chatting to one person at a bar one night in the Caribbean about Africa, later turned into meeting this person again for the second time, months later, to road trip up the African coastline for two whole weeks. Sometimes it’s all about the risk you’re willing to take to experience something out of the ordinary. “Sometimes you have to get lost to find a place that normally cannot be found”. And he’s kindly proved this theory to be true. Lets start from when I left cape town, my current “home base”…

Take off: 6:45am. Cape Town, South Africa.

Touchdown: 9am. King Shaka Inernational Airport (Durban).

Seeing a face I’ve only seen once before was oddly comforting, as most of my previous adventures involved completely new ones. Spearguns and Surfboards in the back, we begin our journey 5 hours up the eastern coastline of Africa straight for the small town of Sodwana Bay.

Sodwana Bay is commonly referred to as a “small drinking town with a diving problem”. Considered one of the best Scuba Diving places on the African coastline, there is no question to its beauty. I was lucky enough to be invited by Amoray Scuba Charter to ride along for free on their dive boats to freedive out at the scuba dive sites. I guess this gives a whole new meaning to “free” diving! The Indian Ocean, what an unreal deep-blue beauty. Diving down alongside the scuba divers was another strange but awesome experience. Free diving our way down through their bubbles, gave us this feeling like we were falling. Passing by schools of fish, jellyfish, and even seeing some sharks. Here its common to find ragged toothed sharks, bull sharks, whale sharks and even the occasional Great White. What a thrill to swim with such amazing animals. But we are always, always, respecting the ocean, as we understand we become animals of prey every time we enter the water.

Camping out in a caravan for a week, living with practically no cell phone service, no TV or internet, some days having nothing but a book to read, having braai’s nearly every night with nothing but the company and stories of others. I have to say, this place taught me a lot about patience, the ability to appreciate the present moment, and the value of a shared story.

Tuesday February 9th: Road trip further up the East Coast to cross the boarder of Mozambique.

That two hour drive from Sodwana Bay towards the Mozambique border was… interesting. Three of us squeezed into a bukkie (pick up), surfboards and spearguns in the back and the three of us in the front. There’s something about road trips with people you hardly know that make the experience that much more memorable because of how wild it feels.

The moment we arrived at the Mozambique border, the printer at immigration stopped working to print our visas. Portuguese is the main language so I’m having trouble communicating to them across the counter about the issue. Now, I’m not saying I’m a know-it-all or anything but I’ve had my fair share of crappy printers in my day. After about 30 minutes of watching confusion I politely work my way into their struggle and eventually end up fixing the printer and computer connection problem myself. I don’t think many can say they were behind the desk at an immigration border as they tried getting through, but needless to say I was quickly let into the country!

Immediately, paved roads turn to sandy dirt and we set out for the town of Ponta Do Ouro. Let me just start with saying getting around is practically impossible without a 4×4. These “roads” are no joke.
Ponta De Ouro is beautiful. Simply put, It’s a fishing/surfer town in Africa. The air smells of dry heat, salt water, and fire. Every local is waving and welcoming you into the area as you pass by. People living off of the bare necessities. Grocery stores and common shops don’t exist. You go to someone’s hut to buy food/drinks/etc. The only things they live off of are the things they can grow and access locally. Most live in huts made of concrete blocks and straw. And yet everyone is happy, smiling, sharing. Not once did I feel unwelcome, not once did I feel different.

We made our way over to our accommodation at the coziest, coolest little surf cottage right on the beach called Cassa Concha. The views are absolutely incredible. Welcomed would be an understatement, we were practically taken in as family.

The day’s started early, 6:30am some days. Throw on a bathing suit, walk 30 meters and you’re on the beach. Surfing, spearfishing and beautiful beach walks to rock pools were just a few of the things we did the days we were there. Palm trees, crystal clear beaches and warm breezes gives you the African version of the Caribbean. Breakfasts were a must, Sara and Sasha, the owners of the property were always making the freshest fruit smoothies and wonderful coffee, always accompanied by awesome stories and laughs. I know we were extremely fortunate to stay in such an awesome place in the middle of Mozambique. Take a walk up to the roof at sunrise or sunset where you have a panoramic view of all the rooftops, with the ocean and palm trees on the other

One trip we made was out to Alex’s Pizza Place, where we met a local from Italy who made the greatest Mozambiquan (real italian) pizzas! It was here I met the sweetest locals, children coming up to greet us, adults including us in musical performances. What a feeling this was! Playing a drum as they dance, sing, and play along. Now I understand where our rhythm originates from. Thankfully I had just enough! Another thing that really got to me was seeing a child’s reaction when he picked up my iPhone and it was turned to take a photo. The amazement that he could press a button and have a photo of us instantly lit him up. And in turn, it lit me up just as much if not more. What a thing that was. I love these people. So grateful for the little things.

It saddens me to know I have to leave this place, however it makes me happy to know I have a place like this to miss. I will be back to Ponta Do Ouro, and if and when I am, I will wake up under the same mozzie net in the same surfer cottage at Cassa Concha. What beautiful people I have found here in Mozambique.

I don’t know where I’ll go next, or what kind of people I will meet that will further change my outlook on life, but one thing is for certain, Mozambique was a great one.

Grateful. Thank you Mozam.

If you’d like a similar, incredibly hospitable, real, local experience of Mozambique. I HIGHLY recommend staying with Cassa Concha:

Still adjusting to life in EDT, where supper can come awfully early, but I’ll be more timely tomorrow.

Here are some remainders from today’s news:

* At The Atlantic, Simone Foxman sorts out winners and losers from the final EU-Cyprus deal.

* Mark Warner joins Claire McCaskill in the parade of Democratic senators announcing support for marriage equality.

* After considerable smoke from ex-staffers, Michele Bachmann faces Office of Congressional Ethics investigation of her 2012 presidential campaign finances to see if there’s fire.

* Sen. Tim Johnson expected to announce 2014 retirement tomorrow.

* At Ten Miles Square, Larry Bartels reports new research finding that–surprise, surprise–wealthy Americans think budget deficits are a very big deal, and favor cutting government spending to reduce them.

* At College Guide, Gregory Koger evaluates the uncertain effects of the Mikulski-Coburn “compromise” on NSF funding of political science research, and Seth Masket charts where these grants actually go.

And in non-political news:

* An entertainment biz look at TV’s renewed obsession with religion.

Passover begins tonight, and we’re into Holy Week, so happy reflections to all.

To close the day, here again are the Yardbirds, performing “Over, Under, Sideways, Down” in 1967.

Dave Bautista calls his role in ‘Dune’ a “blessing”: I’m not [just] a guy in ‘Guardians’ with his shirt off”

Courtesy Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures

Dave Bautista wants the world to know that he’s more than just an “action guy.”

In his latest film, Dune, Bautista says he had the chance to show his skillset as an actor when took on the role of Glossu Rabban, an enforcer for his evil uncle Baron Harkonnen.

“The thing with this character was it just gave me an opportunity to showcase a different type of performance,” Bautista tells ABC Audio. “And that’s what I really love about working with [director Denis Villeneuve], I get an opportunity to show myself as a performer in a different light.”

That different light, Bautista explains, is embodied in his Dune character, who he says is solely motivated by both cruelty and power.

“Like he really wants to be cruel,” Bautista shares. “He’s waiting for the OK from his uncle to say, ‘OK, Rabban, be cruel.'” That’s all he’s waiting for, because that’s all he cares about…”

As simple as his character’s motivation is in the sci-fi drama, Bautista says he’s thankful for his villainous role, which also offered him the opportunity to step away from his “action guy” persona.

“I’m not just a guy in Guardians [of the Galaxy] walking around shirtless and saying stupid s***,” he laughs. “[The role] really just gives me the opportunity to just play these like really, really deep characters. So that’s a blessing.”

Dune, also starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, is in theaters. Meanwhile, Dune part two is scheduled for release sometime in 2023.
