Hey friends today is the day Disney has invited us out to board the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser. I am so excited to bring you guys along with me and show you all the cool offerings like lightsaber training and the nifty food Like blue shrimp and green rice. There are so many amazing things. I cannot wait to point them all out Any hoos. Let's go do this And here we go It's time to head on in event check-in and event transportation We're gonna have to board our shuttle to actually get to the Galactic Starcruiser If you don't know what the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is It's basically a Star Wars themed resort here at Walt Disney World. It's very luxurious It's very expensive and it's kind of like boarding a cruise ship But instead you're boarding a spaceship and going out to space on a space cruise And you're completely immersed inside the Star Wars universe Everything is space and Star Wars themed the food the beddings the the rooms everything is the windows You look out and you don't see like outside you just see like stars you see outer space and it costs just around $4,800 for two people in two nights and it's kind of expensive So make sure you guys let me know what you guys think is it worth it You know what I mean? Let me know in the comments if you guys think it's worth it or not And I'm just gonna show you all the amazing things that I get to do And we have finally made it here we are and we are heading in now look at this All right now we're going to head up into the atrium. We're going to take a watch by there. Oh Boy, we're heading in now. Well, look at this My lord Hello, how are you? Yes, yes, I'm excited to be here. Yeah. Oh, yeah, what's up there?  I'm I'm in love. I really I'm in love and it just started it just started How are you? What's your name? Oh, Nathan, yeah, well, thank you. I'm happy to be here. I'm looking to relax and enjoy and yeah Nice Oh, wow. Well, I'm very excited to be here. Thanks for having me Oh, yes, I'm ready. I'm ready to go to Batu I'm excited to do some lightsaber training. Yes Yeah, we also have our bridge training. Oh the bridge training. I'm very excited for that. Yeah Wow, is that right over there? Oh, wow, I'm gonna go check that out now. Yeah All right, thank you What are you drinking though? Oh, well, well next time Oh Yes, please what is this blue milk this blue milk Wow fancy a little First time trying some of the And I'm excited. Look at this fancy Oh, that's good. It's very nice Of the first order Whose lawyers means we do not know I agree Sympathizes and That would be Please I will be stationed at all the house here during this voyage.  I mean we're first-order loyalists right now, but we're heading to the engineer room now Thank you Quickly and efficiently All the way I'm pleased to see you all here. I began an investigation on the house Because I suspected there was resistance activity on board my intent was to investigate the crew But I did not foresee finding such loyal This you might say has been We the friends of the first order have worked Now you here among you witnessed the unbolting and freeing of the droid they call SK 6 to help you did But know this we have extracted plenty of data The resistance need not be so confident in their plans and who here has witnessed the disrespect of the first-order Anyone yeah, yes, what what have you witnessed? I've been so disrespected slandering On a brighter note who among you has helped to foil the plans of the resistance. I have done my best Thank you for your service and your loyalty those Reasons are why we are here today Continue the work that you Loyalists will you join me in this? Yes Taking down a ship of this size is no small operation It will require precision and coordination between the different factions of our groups Now the engineering is the heart of these systems that power and sustain the house in you can see in this schematic That they are all connected We are going to install a closed program that when a sim will allow us to infiltrate and Disable these systems At coolant systems back here That's me who has an eye for the table. Oh, that's me. Yes, that's me. That's me. Thank you We are joining up with the resistance We're joining up with resistance to try to power down the hyperdrive Cannot allow the resistance to win I say we enter a second override and this time we shall succeed. What say you loyalists Let's go Oh Okay Ju-ju-ju-ju-ju right here done. Oh, yeah, yep All right Ju-ju-ju-ju down right here pink. All right, it's in this one's going here Right here. We did it so much faster That's the young one. Yes Yep, we're good. We're good. That was not green green green. We're missing one green one green. Oh What about the top nine? Oh, we're good. We're here. Oh, we're good. We're good. Oh Second whoa All right, we gotta hold it now We're green We did it The house So that was absolutely amazing and terrifying at the same time I loved it though so so cool My name is Ashley I work with Walt Disney imaginary research and development group and today I want to talk to you about something You're about to experience in your cabin So I'm really excited to introduce to you guys D 309 the ship's logistics droid now Guests can choose to talk to D 309 in their cabins via a droid link panel where you can talk about your journey She loves to hear about the adventures you've been having well on board and we'll give you some context about the events That are happening aboard the Halcyon Star Cruiser Now D 309 is a play test and it's only being play tested here at the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser There we go, we're going into the rooms look at this Wow This is so amazing so these are the rooms that you actually sleep in with the cabins and look at this I Love it the bunk beds are amazing right here. Oh Oh This is really too cool like it is really cool And I also heard about this right here being the table that you can pull out because everything needs to be fastened Down because we are on a Star Cruiser itself. So let's take a look see look at this That's amazing, right Which one any All right, I guess you're right There we go Wow Going to course out now as we went through hyper space So if you just take a look at the room everything is rounded and kind of space themed We have a nice recycle and trash can there a remote. I Like it you have a little book light Plenty of pillows for the bed and then of course you have the bunk beds, but there is also a pullout bed Look at the little pullout bed they have here. Oh, I like it This is nice for the younglings, of course or the younglings at heart And then here's the thermostat too. So this is where you control the temperature in the room then your phone and It's so amazing lots of storage Some extra blankets and pillows Oh, yeah, especially when you go to hot and then the restroom itself even look at the soap look at this This is lotion and oh that would definitely be going in my purse. I love everything in here the shower This is it's it's it's it's it's amazing Contact me if anything changes Hello and welcome aboard My name is D309 the logistics droid of the Halcyon and I'll be available to you here during your journey Have you used a droid link panel before? First timers here. So tell me what brings you to our treasured ship Vacation and leisure you want an unforgettable vacation. You are on the right star cruiser What are you looking forward to? Relaxation galactic sightseeing perhaps some adventure in wild space Adventure in wild space sounds cool. Yeah Ventures passengers are my favorite now that we got the chance to check out the rooms Let's head out to the bridge and I was excited to see that All right, it's time to head to the bridge here Welcome to your bridge Now we're gonna take part in some bridge training and we haven't decided yet if we're for the order or if we are for the other side So it's kind of like 5050, you know Okay So I have to turn this to try to grab it and then once I get I grab and pull it in very easy. This one's easier. I think We got 14 14, how many did you guys get? Oh, you got eight we got 14 large we got 14 large look at that Yes Has intensified our suspicions Maybe leave the house and and it's crew are providing support to the resistance. It would be Disappointing to find that the captain was at the center Gathering close to me Are you all willing and prepared for this to enjoy the safety of the house here than everyone on it? Yes Not normally involved passengers in this sort of operation, but as I said before there is nothing normal about this situation To send a distress signal to the resistance Our friends here have all agreed to help right everyone. Yeah. Yes everyone. Please go back to your stations I need you to refamiliarize yourself with your consoles. Please go to your stations now, sammy You will need to use a secure Oh my lord, we're about to jump to hyperspace in three punch it So many spills, okay. All right, everyone. It's okay fields. This is a lot of them What do you say Bringing systems up Get down I couldn't have done that without all of you I know so I um When I first got on here, I thought I had to be this lone Resistance hero, but really I'm standing here looking at you Why Excuse me My lord one line two men a shipyard scoundrel Your first home will not be Ptolemy. It's time to make that Effective immediately I will be taking control of this ship A house is now under the authority of the first All of the bridge Resistance Your objection is dealing with it. But I'm afraid it doesn't matter Each of you have demonstrated your loyalty I'm out of here So we just got kicked off the bridge there and uh, yeah, the first order is really they've taken they've taken control of the ship Attention passengers of the halcyon The first order has imposed a blocking on the house The halcyon is now under the authority of the first order Destroy oh, but Samuel is I can't and just look I have As we speak Tie fighters are surrounding this ship star destroyers are moving into place the halcyon will not be allowed to leave this port You've gone too far with change. Okay. I'm not sure I've gone far enough My investigation has deeply on gulch and unfortunately My suspicions have been concerned. I have been concerned. There is indeed The nightness remain calm in the face of such power That is not what I was going to say those of you Who have been loyal to the first floor? Well done But there's still yet more work to do I am still undecided I don't know if I'm for the order or if I'm not I think uh I'll have to think about it a little bit longer until I decide give my final My final answer I am so excited for lightsaber training All right, it looks like we're ready to come in so please feel free to come in and we will meet Sasha Tyser Come on in friends. Don't be shy. Don't be shy. Come on in. Come on in Thank you We've got extra items outside of our hollow scanners Please put them on the back bench over there because we are going to move around just a little bit So we want to make sure that we can do that Hey, how are you? And uh, if you didn't know me now you do My family helped me jet up. That was once home to the sacred temple of the Kaiboran ancient border And now I and the other descendants of Jetta. We we passed all knowledge of the force those who wish to learn and That's you I say ready position. I want you to activate the stand as quickly as possible.  Now we'll move forward to ready position I like that you'll need that reaction time especially in line to the sub light lounge now students turn your awareness up front because these And they have been used in lightsaber training for generations And today each and every one of you get to continue this legendary tradition of training Now I know the training will hold fire low power energy blast what you must move your lightsaber to reflect about a four-inch blast There'll be a blue tracer beam now this beam is not the blast This is just a guide an indicator to let you know where the blast will come from. Do we understand? It's cool, right? Believe me that never gets old Now when you engage the training mode, you will meet the beam block the blast and return to center Meet the beam block the blast and return to center Always back to center always back in balance This will help you learn to control the lightsaber as you learn to wield it.  Yes, but it's also an art We love that Joe Joe's an art is as unique as each and every Saber up right now It's actually lightsabers. Yes Everyone take a deep breath in turn that awareness forward focus. Let's engage All right, meet the beam. Good. Block the blast Keep patient turn to center You got to stand you got it Joe Joe step it up now Your body weight the last Take a deep breath in focus forward I'm distracted on my small students It's gonna come fast you have a role as well These shields were designed specifically for this training But like the shields carry in a battle by the phone troopers. They were built through a stand Laster fire you'll be able to both see and feel the impact We have our any position in the shield as well. We find that same ground that stands find that stance We pull our shield in front of us ready to wait the battle ahead Good stance. Yes. That's it grounding. All right guardians up front. Are you ready ready? Are you ready? Yes. Let's hear you Ignite those lightsabers shields facing forward. Take a deep breath in everyone. Let's engage Now it's time to shield I got your lightsabers Shield facing forward everyone deep breath in and engage Deep breath in let's support each other engage Trust, faith, belief Open yourself to the force Then not just what is can you see But what will be The energy The light of the force Guide you it will Then sense where the past will be You can Don't just say it Know it I am one with the force. I am one with the force Yes, yes we are Together Now it's time to have to use the force to actually find the beam I got lightsabers shield facing forward bring them up everyone deep breath in engage Feel it Nate feel the force course through you So apparently Tim's feeling the force Up right Yes Oh my lord the lightsaber training is amazing and then as soon as we got out we trapped Some stormtroopers and inside of a door and then Chewie came and got arrested things are escalating so quickly Oh my lord We've all seen a walking before right saber training run Play cool Yeah, it was amazing So Carry on Yeah, let's go this way. Let's go check this out.  Just don't you worry. Okay The doors broke It's it's not working Oh We tried that's why we stuck around. Yes, we got you out I told you you cannot just exist on the pump course There are a lot of people here But I think we're all friends with Chewie, right? Yeah. Yeah, Chewie looks like you made a lot of friends. You're really popular He says he knows Are you just touring or wouldn't you Know what do you need to get? Okay, well, you know, there's some places we can't we can't go to the age group right now Does anyone know where the first order is No, well, Chewie that's not the way you need to go my friend if the the first order is in the engineering That's my well, I mean he has a mechanic so he does like the engineering rooms, but right now I don't think it's a place he could go so I don't know Chewie Chewie this is the youngest student I've ever had Oh Guys Luke Luke was in my training spot earlier and he All right, listen troopers. Hey, there's he's just existing like everybody else Let him go Well, what about the flat water Yes, I guess you're right sparkling water it is Actually, I want to try a little bit of the ambient water as well a little sparkling water I don't like that at all In the ambient water would he get some chilled water there? Yeah Cheers cheers Oh That's high quality h2o. Oh, yeah Now it is time for a galactic tasting We're going to be able to try some of the food they prepare here On the galactic star cruise and I'm so excited like I said in the beginning We have blue shrimp and green rice. I'm not even too sure what we're going to be able to try but uh I'm hungry. So I'll eat anything at this point Oh boy, look at this Oh, yes, it looks like it's getting better here. This is really fancy This is the crown of Corellia dining room and this is also a dinner show So Gaia is gonna be forming like right up here and I'm so excited to actually eat some food It looks so amazing in here. They have a menu. I'm gonna show you the menu But we're gonna be getting a sample of some of uh, like it's best So we're gonna get little tiny pieces of everything but they do have like a regular menu and it's right here Let me give you a quick look. So Taste around the galaxy mustafarian spreads and breads a nice little bread service for course run Taste around the galaxy We have a mustafarian bread service and then also we've got some faluchian shrimp and that's the blue shrimp that everyone's talking about and uh course three is going to be Braised Banta beef short rib and then also we're seared white fish. So that looks at that I mean that looks really really good sounds really good And then we also have an air cake to finish off But if you want like a kind of picky explorer like eater They do have some other offerings like on the kids menu or the younglings menu They have the tip yip, which is something that they actually serve over in docking bay seven And i'm just excited to try all this and then they see the show It looks like we're gonna have some specialty of beverages too. This is a poison spear And look at this Doesn't it look like really fancy for me to give it a go? I don't think there's any alcohol in this either Oh wow that is really good actually Oh we have some more Here is a look at the food This seems to be the whitefish right here and then we have the banter short rib over there And this looks like a little like baoban here Oh, yeah, look at that and I like how it's different colors. This is this is like really really fancy It looks amazing. I can't wait to dive into it and I think we're gonna get a hard Uh icebreaker right here. Look at the dropping them off right now fancy Icebreaker. Oh, what's in it? So it is kind of like a Refreshing citrusy lemonade with a nice kick into it. Oh, okay The garnish it is edible. Oh the garnish is edible. All right sounds good to me. Thank you Also look at how cool the silverware looks. I don't know why I just kind of get you know Happy about fancy silverware and I like this knife. You might want to put it in my purse Put it in your purse. Put it in your purse All right, here we go. We're gonna try the baoban and there's a Tip yip inside there. So it's like a chicken baoban and it looks really good though Oh, yeah, that's good Now we're gonna try the short wrap the banter short wrap How's everyone doing today? Excellent. Excellent. I am rave cole. I am guys manager and today I have The honor of introducing someone who is in every sense of the word a star Gaia Thank you dawlings. What a spectacular welcome I'm thrilled to be here with you on boy the house On that song and I do perform that song I often like to cool things down a bit Why My thoughts exactly I'm lady in the night everywhere I shine I'm lady on a tree I'm a lover before that song. I knew it would not be an easy one to sing Not technically. I've got that. No, I mean digging deep down and Bringing out those feelings that you'd rather keep sealed away But I have found throughout the things you have been a lovely audience and you've certainly risen to be vacation Now you all know my name. So one more time. What's my name? Gaia He shut down the ship. What about my dinner? What about the dinner? We gotta go we gotta get out of here. Can I bring my drink with me? They shut down the power I'm taking my drink and we're getting out of here Oh, yes, yes, yes, this is good Oh my lord You have it released of the responsibility I am in command of this ship And this ship is under the authority and control of the first order But I can't take all of the credit I didn't have help I'm some of your passengers I'm sorry Lawyers, you need not reveal yourselves now Yes, but no Very soon we shall celebrate our fifth hour ship Get out of here No, no I don't know what you mean New talk, are they sporting and training? Yeah Resistance, there's to be more But you have lost What's going on? Secrets of the first great imaginable power these secrets carry Keep these safe, you I once found the military company to take it I don't even know how to process Everything that just happened We're just sitting there enjoying dinner Listening to the gaya And then everything just it went horribly wrong And it turned into this epic showdown between gray and kylo red and it was it was amazing It was it was so so amazing The story literally has been unfolding since the beginning since when we first got here and now it just wrapped up like this is crazy Bye, thank you guys. Thank you Yes, I don't want to go. Goodbye And with that, I think we are done here today. What an amazing experience I have to tell you I felt like it never stopped We were only in there for about eight hours Maybe the whole entire experience is maybe maybe less than eight hours But I felt that it was there for days days and days and days And there were so many memorable moments and I'm gonna look back and cherish like forever Like me and Josh locking the stormtroopers into the doors Tim, Tracker and Jojo guiding me on lightsaber training Lightsaber training was one of my favorite things I didn't even get to eat the food Like I was so mesmerized by gaya and her performance and I was up close And I was just right there and I felt like she was singing directly to me I didn't even focus on my food And the next thing you know Everything went wrong and we had to leave and there was an emergency exit And we get up there and next thing you know Kylo Ren's there and Ray and Chewy and I loved it I mean this was this was so amazing I'm sorry I'm a little a little choked up I'm a little choked up because it was like wow But let me know in the comments what you guys think I feel like you really can't tell somebody whether or not it's worth it Because that's somebody's you know decision making I I can't tell you something's worth it I if you like something and you want to do it Then go ahead and do it If for me I would do it I mean I know I didn't pay for this Disney did you know host me But I want to bring my mom and sister do it And they don't even like Star Wars I think it would be a fun experience Because it's it's non-stop It's non-stop and this is something you actually have to put into play Some of the rooms at Disney World are just about the same price Like some of the rooms are like $2,000 a night here at Disney World And people are booking and staying in those rooms You know what I mean? You don't get all of that You don't get the dinner show You don't get to have all you care to eat They have blue and green milk on tap You just self serve Bada bing bada boom Like that's insane right? And that's like something that I think a lot of people are overlooking You know what I mean? And yeah just let me know what you guys thought Let me know what you guys thought And also let me know what your favorite thing was Because I tried to capture everything We didn't get to do everything But I can't wait I'm definitely coming back any hoos I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it We'll see you next time Bye

Infectious diseases are emerging globally at an unprecedented rate. Literally hundreds of new pathogens have emerged and re-emerged over the last few decades, and what we eat is responsible for most of the new diseases that have jumped from animals to humans. In response to the torrent of emerging zoonotic or animal-to-human diseases, three of the world's leading authorities— the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the United Nations and the World Organization for Animal Health— held a joint consultation to determine the key underlying causes. First on their list was the increasing demand for animal protein. The greatest swords of Damocles dangling are the H5 and H7, bird flu viruses blanketing much of the Earth. A bird flu pandemic could be devastating, given their current upwards of ebola-like flip of the coin death rates. Given that the emergence of these deadly bird flu viruses, H5N1 and H7N9, are linked to intensification of the poultry sector, there have been calls for the deindustrialization of animal production. For example, as suggested here in the annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, we're placing large industrial units with smaller farms with lower stocking densities, potentially resulting in less stress, less disease susceptibility, less intense infectious contact, and smaller infectious loads. Maybe they're the ones that could use a little social distancing. The American Public Health Association, the largest and oldest association of public health professionals in the world, has called for a moratorium on factory farming for nearly two decades now. Maybe COVID-19 is the dry run we needed, the fire drill to awake us from our complacency and reform the food system before it's too late. But if, as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations visualized it, the next pandemic starts with increased demand for poultry products before ending up with human-to-human transmission. Maybe we need to move beyond just giving these animals some more breathing room. This editorial in the Journal of the American Public Health Association goes beyond just calling for a de-intensification of the poultry industry, questioning the prudence of raising so many animals for food in the first place. It is curious, therefore given the pandemic threat, that changing the way humans treat animals, most basically ceasing to eat them, or at the very least, radically limiting the quantity of them that are eating, is largely off the radar as a significant preventive measure. Such a change, if sufficiently adopted or imposed, could still reduce the chances of the much feared influenza epidemic. It would be even more likely to prevent unknown future diseases. That, in the absence of this change, may result from farming animals intensively and killing them for food. Yet humanity doesn't even consider this option. However, thanks to food innovations, this may be changing. Have you looked in the dairy case at the supermarket lately? Some of America's largest dairy producers have recently filed for bankruptcy due to the constellation of new consumer choices. I was peripherally involved in the largest meat recall in human history. Remember the footage of the cows getting forklifted? A hidden camera investigation at a California slaughter plant for spent dairy cows led to a recall of nearly 150 million pounds of beef for violations of food safety rules meant to protect the public from mad cow disease. Downed dairy cows, too sick to even walk, were being dragged to slaughter with chains into the federal school lunch program. You don't have to worry about contaminated cattle brains in your oat milk, though. Plant-based milks are a no-brainer. But you can see what I'm saying, right? Yes, you can pass public health regulations to stop the cannibalistic feeding of slaughterhouse waste to dairy cows, or you can just provide the public better alternatives and let the market eliminate the risk entirely because there's no prions in plans. HIV AIDS likely rose from people slaughtering primates. 30 million people wouldn't be dead right now if we were eating meals from bushes instead of bush meats. We can't get coronaviruses from cauliflower. There is no flu in falafel production, no matter how tightly you crowd the balls together. What I'm saying is our food choices don't just affect our personal health, but our global health, not just in terms of climate change, but in terms of stifling pandemic risk. There's been a tremendous surge in interest in diversified protein sources, given the increasing consensus that reduced meat consumption is critical. For addressing both the climate crisis and our burgeoning epidemics of lifestyle diseases, eating less meat may not only help save the world, but could help prevent the loss of more than 10 million human lives a year. To their credit, in 2016, the Chinese government recommended that citizens cut their meat consumption in half in part to reduce their growing rates of chronic disease. A completely plant-based diet might reap $30 trillion from the health benefits alone, and that would be just from the lowered rates of chronic diseases, like cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, not even factoring in the decreased catastrophic pandemic risk. What we eat doesn't just affect our personal health, but our global health in more ways than one. Making healthier choices could also help mediate the next coronavirus epidemic, not only at the source by sidestepping wet markets, but by also decreasing the rates of comorbidities found to increase the risk in all the deadly coronaviruses— SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Consider the underlying risk factors for COVID-19 severity and death. Obesity, heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and chronic pulmonary disease. Inversely, all studies of vegetable protein is superior to animal protein in terms of lower rates of heart disease and type 2 diabetes and lower blood pressure than animal protein. Here's a meta-analysis published a few months ago on diabetes risk in animal protein consumption. For hypertension, meat, including poultry, may contribute to a higher risk of high blood pressure. Meat may even be associated with impaired lung function, increasing the risk of lung diseases like emphysema. The same diet that can help you survive this pandemic can also help prevent the next. So instead of propping up the meat industry to the tune of $100 million taxpayer dollars a month and forcing meat plants to stay open, pandemic proof your diet. Thankfully, expanded options are now hitting the meat case as well, no longer a niche market for vegetarians. Major meat producers have started blending in vegetable proteins to make hybrid meat products like produce chicken plus nuggets or Tyson's whole blend sausage links. Smithfield, the world's largest pork producer, recently debuted an entire line of plant-based products. Hormel has a new plant-based line to the purveyors of spam now believe in the power of plants. Check out this headline from a few weeks ago. KFC to roll out Cargill's plant-based chicken across China. Talk about a cultural revolution. And we're not talking about Tofurky. Cargill is America's largest private corporation and one of the biggest meat packers in the world. How many fewer curly-tailed, viral mixing vessels are there now that Dunkin' Donuts has a meat-free breakfast sausage? How many fewer hens are packed beak-to-beak now that egg-free mayo is taking the sandwich spread sector by storm? Corn, a brand of meat-free meat made from the mushroom kingdom, opened a single facility that can produce the meat equivalent of 20 million chickens per year. These products may not be the healthiest from a personal standpoint. A doughnut sandwich without pork is still a doughnut sandwich. But hey, swapping an egg-free omelet from Tim Hortons and from a pandemic standpoint, zero risk. Doesn't necessarily have to be plants, though. In this review on food systems in the era of the coronavirus, they noted that researchers are seeking alternative protein sources everywhere. Can't think of any possible alternatives to cow's milk. How about cockroach milk?  How about some of this on your corn flakes? Could be healthier than cow's milk and, hey, no lactose, no dairy allergy problems? An important alternative. I mean, I can't imagine anything else you could make milk out of. And gluten-free, too! The only downside, evidently, was to eat flavor. But the researchers, perhaps funded by BigBug, chalked this up to the fact that the judges knew there were cockroaches in the bread, and so they were all just biased. I think I'll stick with the plans. But if you're like, you'll have to pry that pork chop from my cold, dead hands, we may be able to have our meat and eat it, too. An even more innovative approach to pandemic prevention was suggested by Winston Churchill in 1932. In an article in Popular Mechanics entitled 50 Years Hence, he predicted that we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium. And indeed, the prediction is becoming a reality. Instead of taking a cutting from a plant and growing vegetables, you're taking a sample from an animal and growing meat. Potentially, lots of meat, like maybe a billion pounds from a single sample. Indeed, in terms of efficiency, growing meat straight from muscle cells could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by as much as 96% and lower land use by as much as 99%, but when you factor in pandemic risk, the benefits to human health of a slaughter-free harvest could arguably rival those to planetary health. Food safety has been considered the primary human health benefit of such an approach. There's been a six-fold increase in food poisoning over the last few decades, sickening tens of millions of Americans every year. Contaminated meats in animal products aren't the most common cause. So when the cultivated meat industry calls its product clean meat, that's not just a nod to clean energy. Food poisoning pathogens like E. coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella are due to fecal residue, traces of which are found on most poultry samples in the United States in about half of retail ground beef and pork chops. They're intestinal bugs, so you don't have to worry about them if you're producing meat without intestines.  Just like you don't have to worry about brewing up new respiratory viruses that could kill millions of people if you're making meat without the lungs. A culinary choice in South China led to a fatal infection in Hong Kong and subsequently to 8,000 cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome, SARS, and nearly 1,000 deaths in 30 countries on six continents. If only we had learned our lesson then. We may be one bushmeat meal away from the next HIV, one pangolin plate away from the next killer coronaviruses, and one factory farm away from the next deadly flu. Tragically, it may take a pandemic with a virus like H5N1 before the world realizes the true cost of cheap chicken. And I think many people don't think that How Not to Die was my first book, but it's actually my fourth. Before I started NutritionFacts.org, I had a career in public health specializing in emerging infectious diseases. That's how I got to defend Oprah Winfrey and got invited on the Kobera Report and testified before Congress. And in 2006, I wrote a book on pandemic prevention and preparedness and that had an entire pandemic preparedness planning checklist for families where I have the masks ready and the hand sanitizer and the disposable gloves and the food, the water, the toilet paper. I went through the whole thing. Of course, back then, few people paid much attention to the coming pandemic threat. But finally, I'm able to put that expertise to use. The current coronavirus crisis provided the impetus and time for me to kind of revisit that body of work. I was in the midst of a 200 city speaking tour for How Not to Diet. My last book before COVID-19 started spreading around the globe. I was sadly disappointed in my lectures and travel had to be suspended, it only made it to about 40 of those cities. But it enabled me to seize this opportunity to once again dive deep into the pandemic preparedness literature and bring you the latest science amidst all the prevailing noise and nonsense out there. The time is not for panic, but for common sense measures to protect yourself and your family, both now and in the future against emergent outbreaks. The current COVID-19 pandemic, as deadly as it may be, may just be a dress rehearsal for the coming plague. Decades ago, a flu virus was discovered in chickens that would forever change our understanding on how bad pandemics could potentially get. It was named H5N1 and appeared capable of killing more than half the people it infected. Half, imagine if a virus like that started spreading explosively human to human. Consider a pandemic 100 times worse than COVID-19, not the fatality rate 1 in 200, but more like 1 in 2, a coin toss. Thankfully, H5N1 so far remained a virus more poultry than people, but it and other new deadly animal viruses like H7N9 are still out there, still mutating, with an eye on that 8 billion strong buffet of human hosts. With pandemics, it's always a matter of when, not if, and a universal outbreak with more than just a few percent mortality wouldn't just threaten financial markets, but civilization itself as we know it. My new book, How to Survive a Pandemic, contains everything you need to help protect yourself and your family from the current threat, but also digs deeper into the roots of the problem and tackles the fundamental question, how can we stop the emergence of pandemic viruses in the first place? You know, if there's one thing I learned from my work on preventing and reversing chronic diseases, that is whenever possible, we should treat the cause. How to Survive a Pandemic? We'll be out in physical copies this fall, but the audiobook and ebook versions are going to be fast-tracked and out next month, May 2020. You can preorder it at nutritionfacts.org slash COVID-19. That's nutritionfacts.org slash COVID-19. And of course, all proceeds I receive from the book will be donated to charity. I hope How to Survive a Pandemic is useful to protect you and your family, the community, and this great, big, wonderful, happy human family.


Cast Lake Beena Boys looking to build another win streak after their first loss last week. First bucket of the game, Miguel Reyes up to Ethan Brown. Bangs home the triple. Later on, Justin Barrett for Red Lake.  Ties things up at five. Back the other end. Brown in the paint. Out to Jarell Jacobs. He's not going to miss many open shots. They go back up by three. Then later Reyes catches the defense napping. Up to Brown. Pure from long range. Red Lake puts up a good fight, but the Panthers, they win by 12.


Diana, Princess of Wales, has had her fair share of portrayals in recent times. We have Kristen Stewart's new movie Spencer, Emma Corrin introducing her to Netflix's The Crown in season 4, and now with season 5's casting overhaul, Elizabeth Dembeatsky is stepping into the princess's shoes. I'm Matt Rodgersen. Today we've got a first look at Dembeatsky's Diana and Dominic West's Prince Charles. But not only that, there has been some onset drama in relation to how the show is portraying Diana, and our new Queen Dolores Umbridge, I mean, Emelda Staunton, has spoken on the topic of season 5's release. Now I'm bringing you all the latest news and updates on The Crown, so in order to stay up to date be sure to hit that like button, subscribe and ring that bell to not miss a single thing. The Crown Twitter account has already given us a first look at Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II, but now we have the first official images of Charles and Diana. There has been some debate over Dominic West's likeness to the real Prince Charles, and I must say it is jarring after Josh O'Connor in seasons 3 and 4, but the casting directors haven't missed a beat yet, and I don't doubt we'll be used to him after the first few episodes. However, I don't think we'll be having the same issue with Diana, as Elizabeth Dembeatsky is uncanny in this first look of her in character. Some onset photos have also leaked with some of Diana's iconic looks, and I for one had to double take at a few of these photos, thinking they really were the princess. Yes, the actress already shows a resemblance, but it's also a huge achievement by the shows hair and makeup team. There has been ongoing struggles with casting look like actors for their children, especially Prince William, but the search is now over and they will be introducing Dominic West's real life 13 year old son, Seen and West. So we'll be seeing actual father and son on screen, most likely in the later episodes of the season when the prince will be around Seen and his age. For a breakdown on the rest of the confirmed cast, be sure to check out my video on what we know about season 5. As we know, the events of season 4 ended in the late 1980s, and reports say that we're likely to be covering events this season spanning from the 90s to the early 2000s, which was a dramatic time period for the royal family. The season will likely be covering the separation of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Princess Anne and Mark Phillips, and of course Prince Charles and Princess Diana. At the same time, the royal family was also dealing with the fire at Windsor Castle, closely followed by the divorce of Diana and Charles, and then the tragic death of Princess Diana. But how the show is depicting Diana has caused some issues behind the scenes. The website Looper has reported that television producer and show consultant Jamiah McCann has left the series fifth season, citing concerns over the portrayal of Princess Diana, whom she was closely acquainted with when the Princess of Wales was alive. For those that don't know to stay relatively historically accurate, the producer's higher advisers to stay on track. It's arguable how true to life this show really is, with some representatives of the royal family rallying to have a disclaimer at the start of each episode to say it is just a dramatization and not factual, but it's nice to see that they have, or at least had, some direction. It has been reported that McCann came to the realisation that the respect and compassion she hoped would be reflected on the show was not present. As a result, McCann asked for her contributions to be removed and refused to be credited in the show. With the crown already upsetting the real life royal family, notably with Prince Phillips' betrayal, it doesn't look like the royals will be too keen on this season either. But the show goes on and in an official recent update from the new queen herself, we now know when we will have our next instalment, but I'll let Her Majesty speak for herself. Well there you have it, unfortunately we aren't getting a 2021 season as fans would hope for, but I don't think any of us are surprised. But what can we watch in the meantime to scratch that royal itch, you may ask? Well I do have a few recommendations. The 2006 movie, The Queen, is covering approximately the same time period as season 5 will, and get this, it was actually written by the creator of the crown, Peter Morgan. So it's probably as close as you can get to what next season has to offer. Diana, in her own words, is a fantastic documentary that, as the title says, is told by the princess herself. And most recently, Pablo Lorraine Spencer with Kristen Stewart. This movie is yet to be released in Australia where I am, but if you've seen it, I'd love to hear what you think. So let me know, I'll be down there in the comments. But if you haven't already, be sure to subscribe for weekly videos covering your favourite movies and TV shows.

We needed a task force that was focused on integrating air and missile defense, so this seemed like the absolute right time to do it. So in phase three, that's when we'll complete Aegis of Shore Poland, and then we'll bring on a new, more advanced missile called the Scanner Missile 3-2 Alpha, and that missile gives us much more capability, longer range, and we'll be able to defend against future threats in the ballistic missile defense arena.


Good morning, everyone. Thank you for coming to the cloud native Node.js track. I'm Dave Ings. I'm from the IBM program manager for Node and I'll be your MC for the next couple of days Which means I get to basically let all the hard work be done by others including our speakers So it's a pretty good gig actually And so without further ado I'd like to basically turn things over to Michael Dawson who's one of our lead development managers and IBM for Who's going to basically give an overview of the two-day session and the speakers. Thank you, Dave So thank you all for coming to the Node.js track And I have the pleasure to be able to sort of give you a bit of a welcome and walk and Figured out how to pull it down to the 13 submissions that 13 talks that you're gonna see today I think you're gonna really appreciate the content It's it follows a nice theme and they did a good job of pulling out all that together In addition to that we have the the pleasure of having Mark Hinkel who's the new executive director for the Node.js foundation We heard from the Cloud Foundry Summit our Cloud Foundry executive director yesterday, and you know, we'll get to here today Right after I finished talking from our new director and his views of Node.js and the foundation going forward Which is great And we also have a good panel tomorrow where we have Tracy Hines and Michael Rogers from the foundation as well as Trevor Livingston To talk to us about their view of the state of Node.js. So I think we'll all find that pretty interesting as well It's really a good time to be talking about Node.js It's still you know if you're involved in note at all, you know It's really a growing ecosystem and actually at this point I'm curious you know how many of you guys are already developers who are using Node.js a show of hands great And how many of you are you know people you say using Java, but are interested to find out a little bit more about what's going on in this area Okay, that's good I think you'll find that you know the the talks that have something for everybody So if you're new there's some good good information about how to get into using Node with Cloud Foundry And if you already know Node there's some nice deep technical talks to let you learn some new things As I said, it's a great time You know the Node.js ecosystem is still really growing in a great way If you look at things like the module ecosystem There's over 400,000 modules out there is by far the largest module ecosystem by Something like two or three times and if you look at the red line, that's the growth rate So it's also growing at a much larger rate than a lot of the other runtimes of languages It's also going in terms of contributions I think we've had like about a hundred percent growth rate year after year in terms of people who are getting involved in Contributing to Node.js. So it's a really nice and vibrant Ecosystem and I have the privilege to talk to you a little bit more about things that we're doing in the community On that front later on in the talk The other thing that's happened recently is Node version 8 came out If you're familiar with nodes release schedule, we have an LTS release schedule And so every six months we have a new current the interesting thing about Node version 8 is that it is going to become the next LTS which happens every alternate current in October So although it's not necessarily recommended for production yet It's something you should be trying out and testing because when it does go to LTS in October It's something that you're going to want to consider how you move up to it has a number of you know New interesting technology and features of course like any other release. It has a new version of the 8 Brings npm 5 which is supposed to have a lot of new improvements It has one of my favorites the NAPI which is a new API for writing native native modules As well as things like a new debugger protocol standardized URL parsing If you're interested into promises, there's utl promise fi Which is this first step towards making it easier to use the node API's with promises As well as tracing and async hooks to sort of round out things in terms of like new ways and new features and technology to help Supporting and operate your your instances and really you know the reason we're talking about it here Is because no JS is really one of the the key cloud native run times from the data that we have in our cloud and bluemix You know no JS is you know the largest used run times of the key ones Why are we here as IBM sponsoring this track? We're really IBM is involved in all sorts of different things In the node community. We really think that open source is the way to go You know our development model is if we need something for our internal products customers We want to do that development out in the community and then bring those things back inside So we're involved all you know through all the different things. We're platinum sponsor in the foundation We have a large number of Contributors we have nine contributors right now as well as other people who have actually you know added commits and stuff like that And you'll see that we work through the things like you know core Core functionality we work in the groups that do the releases all the different working groups working on things that are you know of interest to enterprise customers and and Supporting your applications and that's something you know I'll talk to you a little bit later in the talk that I have later on today we also have products that bundle in node JS and We actually provide an internal SDK distribution of nodes. So just to say that you know We're no JS is very important to us. And you know, that's why we're here today New to node JS or new to cloud foundry. It's something that's going to help you get an on ramp to using those two those two together We then start to talk about there's a couple talks that are related to using microservices microservices are one of the key use cases for node JS and these talks are about either sort of Deconstructing your monolith into to microservices or building up microservices from scratch We then have my talk we're going to talk a little bit more about what's going on in the community and the things that We're working on to remove obstacles for getting on to the the path to you know, making a digital transformation I'm following that we have some interesting talks on integrating IOT and Cognitive services artificial intelligence with No JS and cloud foundry another really good place where node shines And finally we end up today with a talk on being able to rapidly put prototypes and API is using loopback Tomorrow we start to move into things where we're talking about you know using node JS and cloud foundry together How would you monitor that particular thing? We then have up the panel that we'll talk about where we'll have you know The people's views on the state of node JS and an opportunity for some of you guys to ask questions as well We then move into a couple talks that focus on deployment So deploying node with Kubernetes or being able to set up a pipeline that helps you do your deployments And then we finish off the overall date with a couple talks about tools that might be useful in terms of you know Maintaining or building your applications So I think you know everybody will find something in the talks that we have and without further ado I'll hand it over to mark


Over millennia, the interactions of Earth's surface, interior, oceans, and atmosphere have shaped the planet we inhabit today. Understanding these driving forces from the processes that build mountains to the microscopic actions happening in soil is the subject of Earth science. A fundamental tenet of Earth science is that the present is the key to the past. The converse is also true. Earth's past provides essential clues to its present and future. Addressing relevant science questions as well as societal changes such as climate change will require a deeper understanding of Earth's processes, understanding how geology and life are intertwined, and grasping the impact of human activities over time. Moving scientific understanding forward will require a strategic approach to research. A new report written by a committee of experts identifies 12 high-priority scientific questions that should be pursued by the National Science Foundation over the next decade. The questions cover topics ranging from plate tectonics, to elements hidden within the Earth, to the water cycle and biogeochemistry, and Earth's magnetic field. They open the door to new strands of scientific discovery just waiting to be explored. Explore our free resources to learn more about the processes that drive the planet and the research needed to propel our understanding of it forward.


Hello everyone, I'm Gabrielle and I'm here today at Oxmer Toyota. We're going to talk a little bit about 2021 Toyota Sienna. This is the XLE. So all the new Siennas are hybrids. Now this is going to have the LED headlights. You have it in the beautiful gray. As you can see that blue with the Toyota emblem that always is going to stand for the hybrid. Yep, that right there. All right for the wheels, you're gonna have 17 inch alloy wheels on the side there. You are going to see that it is a hybrid once again. Now going in the interior, there's a 9 inch touchscreen. You're gonna have Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. There's going to be a sunroof. Now this is going to have three rows and in the back there's going to be a 60-40 split and you're going to have the all-weather floor liners throughout the vehicle, which is great for days like this. Rainy, snow. Definitely will protect the the fabric in there. And we can go ahead and show you the trunk. Do you hands-free liftgate? So you can see there is plenty of trunk space and then again you can fold down the third row and you'll have even more space. And you do have this little cubby here on the left-hand side too. You can put stuff in. All right, so I can go ahead and show you how these can come down. You just pull this and it will have a one and then two and they're down. So very simple instructions pull and then yank on this little thingy right here.  And you can see that you'll have relatively level area here. So you could put furniture, mirror, whatever that you would need it for. All right, now if you all have any questions on this vehicle or any others here, please feel free to let us know. All of our contact information will be listed right here. Stay dry everyone. We'll see you soon. Bye.
