For my project, I am thinking of using iMovie as my media platform. I have a MacBook so I think it will be easier to work with and also I have worked with iMovie before so I have experience making videos. My plan is to make my project look like a News channel using "Breaking News" and intense sounds and images to draw my audience's attention.
There are three ways I will structure my idea; First, I will use images of traveling during covid. Second, share my parent's personal story of traveling during this time. And third, news stories of passengers on Cruise ships. I'd like to use images of beautiful touristic places we all know that is all alone now.
My idea should be accepted to the symposium for the following three reasons. First, traveling is essential to life. Second, wanderlust gives us knowledge and experience. And finally, we need to acknowledge the negative effect that covid has caused in our life.
Here's the real deal, COVID has stripped us from our wanderlust.

Great documentary that has taught me a lot of things about different countries and cultures. The experience was surreal, super interesting how the main characters felt as they met new places and new people and the way of life.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of my journey, I asked myself what made people feel alive, and if others enjoy traveling as much as I do. My family and I enjoy traveling on cruises. Due to the current pandemic, life has not been the same. The traveling industry has taken a hard hit and is struggling to recover.

Two types of sources I first used was a news article on how COVID-19 has affected the cruise ship industry. The second source was a news cover on how the way life on the ship was for the passengers and how it affected the way they felt about the industry. This shifted my thinking by making me curious about how the industry can improve when it comes to difficult situations like this and make a life for passengers better. But also we are all human and tragic things happen that caused panic and fear. So maybe the people in charge of the ships were in panic mode and scared of interfering with reality.

I feel like I have found the answers to my questions.

I want to get others to think or to feel alive when traveling, to experience other cultures, and the importance that revolves all around our world because we live on this earth for a short period of time and we should take care of it and conserve it because it's our home.

In college, I learned that research is a really long process and you have to be precise and attentive to every detail. This will help get you all the answers you need and more. Using resources like librarians, professors, and classmates are super beneficial. Always ask specific questions. Search any and every option for all possible outcomes.

Summary: The source that I found to cross-pollinate my idea with was this documentary I found on Netflix. "Down to Earth with Zac Efron", by Netflix. The documentary is about Zac Efron and his travels around the world, it talks about the themes of travel, life, nature, green energy, and sustainable living practices. It inspires the viewers to travel and to experience the different ways of life that other live.

Response:
After watching this documentary, I learned so much and felt so inspired to go out into the world and experience everything out there rather than what's here in my community. At the end of the documentary Zac says "The more we learn and the more stuff we see, the more questions are asked. And I feel like there's endless doorways that have shown themselves to us. it seems like the more we, kind of, excavate, the more comes out to play." Zac took this journey to bring attention to serious topics that are going on around us; topics like poverty, natural disasters, ways we can begin using reusable energy, and global warming. He finds himself asking so many questions, he's always curious to what is coming next and how every single person and place he's met has changed his view of life. This has definitely been one of my favorite documentary I have ever seen, other having the biggest crush on Zac Efron I really did learn a lot about what's going on around the world and what they are doing to help our environment or simply their awesome way of life.

Connection:
People travel for so many reasons. Personally I travel because I enjoy meeting new places, new people, there cultures and way of life really make me appreciate everything around me.

Questions:
What drives people to travel?
Why do some people not believe in global warming?
What can we do to help our environment?

Some feedback for Mrs. Lew :)

In this class I have really enjoyed the class dynamic we have, when we review with Kahoot, having breakout rooms to discuss ideas, and having a research team to help us on our journey. Overall, I think this class is great. Personally, it is one of my favorite classes because the big idea of being on the journey really motivates me and engages me in my work. I love writing and I find this class super helpful. Thank you, Mrs. Lew, I don't really have any suggestions everything is working out for me. :)

Stop 6: What It's Like To Quarantined On A Cruise Ship For Coronavirus

# data[].attributes.body
Summary:
This second source is also a newscast created by NPR News it is titled "What it's like to be quarantined on a cruise ship for coronavirus", hosted by Rebecca Davis. Rebecca takes time to talk to passengers on the Diamond Princess about their experience of being quarantined in a cruise ship. First, she speaks to a couple who enjoyed their trip at first but as the quarantine began their feelings shifted. The ship was not the same anymore, complete silence surrounded the ship with no more enjoyment. Next, she talks to other passengers who talk about how they'd prefer to be quarantined at home and not on a ship. Lastly, she talks to a couple who is interrupted by the ship captain asking his passengers to check their temperature and if it is higher than 37.5 degrees Celcius to call a certain number.

Response:
After listening to this source, I can't help but imagine how this experience affected every single passenger on this ship. A passenger on this ship explains how she felt when the captain announced that a passenger had coronavirus. "The whole room became silent - the whole dining room - because everybody was kind of shocked at the news...We were in shock. I started crying." Think about the fear and anxiety that this must have caused. Families with children, older people, and people with harsh health conditions were easy targets.

My Thinking:
My thinking is being updated with every source I get. Passengers sharing their experience with us is very impactful because while we were here in our home safe and sound they were on a ship not so safe and not in the comfort of their homes.

Questions:

Will the passengers want to go back?

What will the industry do to prepare for future pandemics?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Passengers aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship are under coronavirus quarantine. They're confined to their cabins and passengers are getting restless - and anxious about rising cases of illness.

AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:

The largest cluster of coronavirus cases outside of China is on a cruise ship quarantined off the coast of Japan. Sixty-one passengers have tested positive for the virus and been transferred to Japanese hospitals. More than 3,000 people are still onboard. And as NPR's Rebecca Davis reports, they're getting anxious.

REBECCA DAVIS, BYLINE: Karey Maniscalco and her husband really enjoyed their two-week cruise on the Diamond Princess.

KAREY MANISCALCO: It had been a good trip, but we were tired, and we were ready to go home.

DAVIS: The ship pulled into port earlier than expected, and they felt confident they would make their flight home the next day. But then at dinner, the captain announced a passenger had the coronavirus.

MANISCALCO: The whole room became silent - the whole dining room - because everybody was kind of shocked at the news.

DAVIS: The next morning, another announcement - more passengers had tested positive. The Diamond Princess would be quarantined for 14 days.

MANISCALCO: We were in shock. I started crying.

DAVIS: Karey and other passengers were told that they would have to stay in their cabins. They can't leave. Karey says the silence is eerie.

MANISCALCO: It's quiet. You know, usually when you're on a cruise ship, people are walking down the halls, and you hear them talking and laughing or doors opening and closing. It's very quiet.

DAVIS: And in that quiet, it quickly dawned on many that they were going to run out of their prescription drugs. Katherine Codekas is a lawyer from Sacramento.

KATHERINE CODEKAS: That was a freakout for me was I didn't bring enough of my high-blood-pressure medicine. I only brought one extra week.

DAVIS: But Codekas says the ship has acted quickly making sure that everybody gets their medications. As for food, meals are delivered three times a day by crew wearing masks and gloves. They slip the trays through the cracks in the door. And with the news that more passengers have been infected, the anxiety level is going up.

GAY COURTER: This is Gay Courter on board the Diamond Princess in Yokohama harbor.

DAVIS: Gay is on the ship with her husband Philip.

PHILIP COURTER: I've been very relaxed. But now I'm beginning to realize that if more and more and more people are getting sick on this ship, what are we doing here? This is crazy. You know, I'm frankly now starting to get nervous.

DAVIS: As we're talking, the ship's captain makes an announcement over speakers in the cabin.

UNIDENTIFIED SHIP CAPTAIN: As requested by the Japanese Ministry of Defense...

DAVIS: The captain tells the passengers to take their temperatures with thermometers the ship provided.

UNIDENTIFIED SHIP CAPTAIN: If you discover that your temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius or above, you must immediately dial one of the following numbers.

DAVIS: The World Health Organization says every time there's a new case on the ship, the quarantine extends 14 more days. Passenger Philip Courter says he and his wife understand they need to be quarantined. They just want it to be somewhere else.

P COURTER: You know, this is (laughter) really kind of a doomed ship here (laughter), you know? I mean, how else do you look at it?

DAVIS: Courter says he and his wife would prefer to be quarantined back home in Florida.

Stop 5: Coronavirus Update: Cruise Ships Are Sitting Empty At U.S. Ports

# data[].attributes.body
Summary:
This newscast is created by NPR News it is titled "Coronavirus Update: Cruise Ships Are Sitting Empty At U.S. Ports", which is hosted by Alisa Chang accompanied by NPR's Miami correspondent Greg Allen and NPR health policy reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin. First, they discuss the issues that are occurring between science and politics. They shed light on Rick Bright's situation (federal scientist focused on vaccine development who has filed a whistleblower complaint with the Office of Special Counsel) was demoted for not wanting to promote a drug to treat COVID-19. Second, they talk about how the pandemic has left the cruise industry in a difficult situation. Carnival one of the largest cruise industry is waiting for approval from the CDC to begin sailing again. Also, they talk about issues that Carnival has faced by receiving federal help which leads to criticism. Finally, they discuss how Carnival is under investigation by Congress for knowing about COVID-19 and letting passengers on anyways.

Response:
Listening to this newscast really got me thinking about everything going on. This pandemic has made life stressful for me, but just imagine these industries that make billions of dollars a year and not making anything now due to the situation. Politics and science seem to be in conflict which is scary because if our leaders don't believe in the works and process of science how will we get better? Rick Bright a scientist who has been working on vaccine development talks about how politics have made his job impossible. "Time after time, I was pressured to ignore or dismiss expert and scientific recommendations and, instead, to award lucrative contracts based on political connections." (Coronavirus Update 00:00:19-28) Dr. Beight's actions caused him to be demoted from his position as director of BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority). If our leaders ignore scientific recommendations that can help what's our future going to be like?

My Thinking:
This source has really updated my thinking. As I began to research I found many sources that discussed the issues that the Cruise Industry faced during the pandemic. This industry truly is struggling to get back in business. Like I've said before my family and I love vacationing on cruises. Listening to this newscast has got me worried because one of the biggest cruise lines Carnival is so rushed to keep sales up that at the beginning of the pandemic they knew about it yet ignored it. During the newscast, Greg Allen talks about how Carnival is being investigated by Congress, "This is about what Carnival knew about the coronavirus when it allowed passengers to get on its ships. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure wants to know why Carnival didn't act sooner to protect the health of passengers and staff." An industry that solely functions on having passengers should really care about the safety and health of their passengers.

Questions:

Does this industry care for the safety and health of their passengers?

Is it all about money?

Will our leaders continue to ignore scientific recommendations?

AILSA CHANG, HOST:

A federal scientist who was focused on vaccine development has filed a whistleblower complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. Rick Bright says he was demoted because he was reluctant to promote the use of drugs like hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 patients.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

RICK BRIGHT: Time after time, I was pressured to ignore or dismiss expert and scientific recommendations and, instead, to award lucrative contracts based on political connections.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:

And at ports around the country, cruise ships are sitting empty thanks to a 100-day no-sail order imposed by the CDC. Carnival, the world's largest cruise line, plans to get back to business in August. But the coronavirus pandemic has left the cruise industry in a difficult situation, and at least one company is warning it might not survive.

CHANG: To talk more about all this, we're joined now by NPR's Miami correspondent Greg Allen and NPR health policy reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin.

Hey, guys.

GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: Hello.

SELENA SIMMONS-DUFFIN, BYLINE: Hi.

CHANG: All right. Let's start with the whistleblower complaint. Rick Bright had already publicly claimed he was reassigned against his will. This complaint, it does add more details to that. Selena, what new information have we learned here?

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Right. So Rick Bright had been working as the director of BARDA, which is the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. Last month, he says, he was moved to the National Institutes of Health in retaliation. So this complaint filed with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel is 90 pages long. It's extremely...

CHANG: Wow.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: ...Detailed, and it describes how Bright warned the Trump administration about the seriousness of the pandemic during a January meeting and foresaw shortages of masks and swabs. But he says he was brushed off. It also describes how he pushed back against the Trump administration's promotion of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine as treatments for COVID-19. He said these were unproven treatments, and his supervisors pressured him to promote them anyway. And you'll remember these drugs were mentioned frequently by the president himself in his press briefings for a time.

CHANG: Right.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: The lawyers held a teleconference for reporters with Bright today, and here is some of what he said.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

BRIGHT: Their eagerness to push blindly forward without sufficient data to put these drugs into the hands of Americans was alarming to me and my fellow scientists.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Overall, the complaint describes how higher-ups in the administration pushed Bright to put what he calls cronyism over science and how his resistance ultimately cost him his job. I reached out to HHS, Health and Human Services - the agency that oversees BARDA - and the NIH for comment. And a spokeswoman wrote back, in part, quote, "Dr. Bright was transferred to NIH to work on diagnostic testing critical to combating COVID-19." And the statement continued, "we are deeply disappointed that he has not shown up to work on behalf of the American people and lead on this critical endeavor."

CHANG: And it seems the story - it's prompted rumors of a Cabinet shakeup at the White House, I understand.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Yes. Multiple news outlets reported last month that the president was considering firing Alex Azar - that is the secretary of Health and Human Services - in part because Azar presented Bright's move to the NIH to the coronavirus task force as a promotion. So the White House felt blindsided when Bright began to portray it publicly as retaliation. Azar has not gone anywhere yet, but this news might add fuel to that fire.

CHANG: All right, Greg. Let's bring you in now. You have been following the story about cruise ships that we mentioned earlier. I mean, just weeks ago, we were hearing about severe outbreaks on these ships, where dozens of people had died and hundreds were infected. I mean, is it really possible that Carnival could resume cruises in August?

ALLEN: Well, Ailsa, I'd say it's theoretically possible at this point. Right now there's a no-sail order that's in effect that was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It goes to July 24, or in the words of the order, it says, or when the secretary of Health and Human Services declares that COVID-19 no longer constitutes a public health emergency. So Carnival says that it will do it if it gets the OK from authorities. It would start with just eight ships sailing from ports in Florida and Texas at first and then, at some point, ramp up. The company says it plans to take a measured approach, though, and will consult with, quote, "experts, government officials and the stakeholders on how to safeguard the health of its guests."

But like we've been saying, this is all dependent on the company getting approval from the CDC. The CDC says it's reviewing cruise lines' plans to respond to COVID-19. But in a statement, the agency says, quote, "at this point in time, we do not have enough information to say when it will be safe for cruise ships to resume sailing." So we'll have to wait and see on that.

CHANG: OK. Well, setting aside the question of whether people will even want to go on a cruise with a pandemic going on still, I mean, I can understand that companies want to start back up again. They must be losing - what? - millions of dollars every day.

ALLEN: Right. A Wall Street analyst recently estimated that the largest cruise line, Carnival, is losing $500 million a month while its ships sit idle. And just today, Norwegian, which is the third largest cruise line, warned that it may not survive the pandemic. It had a filing with regulators, and it said that it's not sure if it's going to have enough money to meet all of its financial obligations this year. The company says the pandemic, quote, "has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue." Norwegian says after the travel restrictions are lifted, though, demand for cruises will still remain weak, which might cause long-term problems for the industry and for the company itself.

CHANG: I mean, one problem is cruise lines don't qualify for federal aid because they're incorporated in other countries. But I understand that Carnival did get help from the federal government. So what happened there?

ALLEN: Right. What's very interesting here is that in March, the Federal Reserve took an unprecedented step by pumping billions of dollars into private credit markets that allowed companies like Carnival to raise badly needed funds. At that time, Carnival secured at least $6 billion in the bond markets at favorable rates, and that's money that they can use to tide it over till it resumes sailing. That led to some criticism from people who called it a bailout. One of those people was Sen. Bernie Sanders. But the company says, no, not a bailout. It was just getting credit on - that it needed.

CHANG: And I understand Congress is now investigating Carnival. What questions are they trying to answer there?

ALLEN: Right. That's not about the financial help. This is about what Carnival knew about the coronavirus when it allowed passengers to get on its ships. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure wants to know why Carnival didn't act sooner to protect the health of passengers and staff.

Some of the questions involved the Diamond Princess, which, you'll recall, was hit by a COVID-19 outbreak and was quarantined in Japan in early February. A month later, the company had major outbreaks and deaths from COVID-19 on two other ships, the Ruby Princess and the Grand Princess. And there have been numerous lawsuits filed about - against Carnival about both those cruises. The House committee says when travel restrictions are lifted eventually, it wants assurances that Carnival and the cruise line industry as a whole are taking steps to ensure the safety of passengers and crew. So we'll see how that investigation goes.

CHANG: OK. Back to you, Selena, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters today that the White House is planning to wrap up the coronavirus task force. Now, this is a task force that Pence will continue to run until around Memorial Day. What does this announcement tell us about how the White House is seeing things that they're going to wrap up pretty soon?

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Yeah. Many of us know the task force from the daily briefings. They've kind of become a fixture for people who are stuck at home. These briefings sometimes stretch on for hours. The president would often clash with the press, and there was sometimes misinformation about possible treatments and the real availability of testing around the country. But in any case, the task force itself has served as a way for agencies across government to work on a coordinated response to the coronavirus.

And today Pence told reporters that this organizational structure will be less necessary by the fall, and federal agencies can move to, quote, "begin to manage our national response in a more traditional manner," meaning kind of in silos, I guess. But it is not clear how much the country will have the epidemic under control in the fall. There is concern about a second wave, and this first wave we are currently in seems to be plateauing at more than 20,000 new cases a day. So it does seem somewhat in Congress to talk about wrapping up the federal task force even a few months from now.

CHANG: All right. That is NPR health policy reporter Selena Simmons-Duffin and Miami correspondent Greg Allen.

Thanks to both of you.

ALLEN: You're welcome.

SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Thanks, Ailsa.

1. Gives you credibility, ensures its fair and accurate, and is proof of evidence.
2. Three typical mistakes writers make when using quotes are   using too little or over-quoting, and assuming quotations speak for themselves.
3. Two focus points are choosing quotations wisely, and surrounding every major quotation with a frame explaining whose words they are, what it means, and how it relates to your own text.
4. "Framing quotations" means you need to build a frame around them in which it presents a quotation and explains its relevance.
5. A "dangling"/"hit and run" quotation is one where it is left without explanation.
6. it is bad because it makes it hard for the readers to make sense of what is being argued.
7. 5 lines.
8. Three parts of the quote sandwich are...
- statement introducing it = top slice of bread
- the quotation            = meat
- explanation following it = bottom slice of bread
9. Blue = statement introducing it, purple is the quotation, and the green is the explanation.

My second source was a YouTube video from ABC NEWS "What's next for the cruise industry? Passengers how COVID-19 impacted them" First, this source shows some passenger's experiences on cruise ships. These passengers tested positive for COVID-19, they take time to explain how they felt about the whole situation. Also, they talked about how the industry could have done more to protect them or prevent it.
After watching this video, I wonder how many passengers who were affected by this feel towards cruise travel? I wonder how many lawsuits the industry got after this incident? Are they going to begin sailing again? What are they doing to prevent the spread of the disease?
This source has given me so much information about passengers that have made this whole thing much more real. Personally, my family and I love traveling on cruises and this whole new way of life makes it seem so scary to travel on cruises.

What’s next for the cruise industry? Passengers discuss how COVID-19 impacted them

# data[].attributes.body
My first source is an article from The New York Times. Sheila Kaplan in the article "White House Blocked C.D.C Order to Keep Cruise Ships Docked" talks about the harsh effects that the Coronavirus pandemic has had on the Cruise industry. First, Kaplan explains the actions that the White House has taken to prevent any more spreading of the virus. A C.D.C order was placed to keep ships docked and out of business. Second, she talks about the confrontations that certain doctors have had with President Trump. Finally, she explains that these doctors are working towards preventing the spread of the disease while struggling with rumors from The White House. This pandemic has put a pause on this very popular tourism industry.
After reading this source, I wonder how the industry has worked to prevent the spreading and looking for options to open back up. "Dr. Stephen Ostroff, a former acting commissioner of the F.D.A., who serves on the Healthy Sail group, said the panel has recommended that cruise passengers are tested before arriving at the ship and then again before boarding." (Kaplan 2020) I wonder if these options can actually help or make the problem worse. This industry without passengers will not succeed. During this pandemic, I truly wonder if people will take a chance and travel on cruises again. Many people are afraid of taking that risk.
This new research has helped me find more information on how badly the Cruise Ship Industry has been affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

The C.D.C. director wanted a "no sail" order extended until February, a policy that would have upset the tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida.

The White House has blocked a new order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep cruise ships docked until mid-February, a step that would have displeased the politically powerful tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida.

The current "no sail" policy, which was originally put in place in April and later extended, is set to expire on Wednesday. Dr. Robert R. Redfield, the director of the C.D.C., had recommended the extension, worried that cruise ships could become viral hot spots, as they did at the beginning of the pandemic.

But at a meeting of the coronavirus task force on Tuesday, Dr. Redfield's plan was overruled, according to a senior federal health official who was not authorized to comment and so spoke on condition of anonymity. The administration will instead allow the ships to sail after Oct. 31, the date the industry had already agreed to in its own, voluntary plan, the agency announced late Wednesday night. The rejection of the C.D.C.'s original plan was first reported by Axios.

Dr. Redfield, who has been scolded by President Trump for promoting mask wearing and cautioning that vaccines won't be widely available until next year, worried before the Tuesday decision that he might get fired, and had considered resigning if he were required to oversee a policy that compromised public health, according to a senior administration official as well as a person close to Dr. Redfield.

Brian Morgenstern, the White House deputy press secretary, said that the administration's cruise ship plans were not politically motivated. "The president, the vice president and the task force follow the science and data to implement policies that protect the public health and also facilitate the safe reopening of our country," he said.

The C.D.C. under Dr. Redfield's leadership has received harsh criticism from scientists for its handling of the pandemic, beginning with its botched rollout of testing kits last spring. Political appointees in the health department pushed through C.D.C. guidelines - despite objections from the agency's own scientists - saying that people without symptoms did not need to be tested for the coronavirus. The agency then reversed course to recommend testing. It also recently issued new guidance on airborne transmission of the virus, only to take it down a few days later, saying it had been "posted in error."

Dr. Redfield, squeezed between the White House's desire to reopen the economy and scientists' concerns about further spread of the virus, warned that allowing cruise ships to sail without proper precautions could lead to a public health disaster.

The Diamond Princess cruise ship, owned by the Carnival Corporation, became one of the first examples of a coronavirus superspreading event this winter, when more than 700 of its 3,711 passengers and crew tested positive, and 14 died. Between March 1 and July 10, there were 2,973 cruise-related cases of Covid-19 or Covid-like illness, and 34 deaths, in waters subject to the C.D.C.'s jurisdiction, according to the agency.

The cruise ship industry has considerable political influence in Florida, a state Mr. Trump is fighting hard to win in the election. The Cruise Lines International Association said that the industry generates $53 billion annually in economic activity. The Florida Ports Council said that state's cruise industry, the largest in the nation, has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus.

Republican politicians in Florida and cruise industry lobbyists have called for ending the no-sail order. "I urge the C.D.C. not to extend or renew the 'No Sail Order,'" Carlos A. Gimenez, the Republican mayor of Miami-Dade County, said in a statement on Saturday.

On Sept. 16, Florida Senators Rick Scott and Marco Rubio, both Republicans, proposed the Set Sail Safely Act, which would create a maritime task force to work on the logistical changes needed for the industry to resume operations safely.

"The Florida delegation is very supportive, and is trying to work with the administration and the C.D.C. to see what efforts we can do to get the industry up and operating," said Michael Rubin, vice president of governmental affairs for the Florida Ports Council. "It's still the only industry that's not allowed to operate at the moment."

Mr. Trump had included the chairmen of three major cruise lines - Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian - on a White House task force formed in April to advise him on ways to reopen the country.

Although the cruise lines were hit badly by the coronavirus, they were ineligible for stimulus funds because they are incorporated overseas.

Nonetheless, Mr. Trump had repeatedly signaled his desire to help the cruise lines, and consulted with Carnival's chairman, Micky Arison, on ways to use his company's ships to help the country's coronavirus response.

The cruise industry association, which says it represents 95 percent of oceangoing passenger ship capacity globally, is seeking a gradual resumption of sailing, starting with voyages containing crew members posing as passengers. Its plan is based in large part on recommendations from the Healthy Sail Panel, which was established by several of the major cruise lines and was led by Michael Leavitt, the former Utah Governor and health secretary, and Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration. Some C.D.C. representatives attended the panel's meetings.

Dr. Stephen Ostroff, a former acting commissioner of the F.D.A., who serves on the Healthy Sail group, said the panel has recommended that cruise passengers be tested before arriving at the ship, and then again before boarding.

"The one thing that you want to make sure of is that the virus doesn't get on there in the first place," Dr. Ostroff said.

Dr. Ostroff acknowledged that passengers who are infected by the virus en route to the ship wouldn't necessarily test positive when they board but could still spread the virus to others. He also said that the group's other recommendations, such as allowing fewer passengers, enforcing mask wearing and installing improved air filtration systems, aim to limit the spread of the virus on a ship should an infected passenger board.

Dr. Redfield is in a precarious position after weeks of public confrontations with the White House.

On Friday, he told a colleague that he was concerned that Dr. Scott W. Atlas, one of Mr. Trump's top coronavirus advisers, was providing the president with misleading information, according to an NBC reporter who overheard Dr. Redfield's telephone conversation on a commercial airplane.

The incident followed Mr. Trump's rebuke of the director earlier this month, after Dr. Redfield testified at a Senate hearing that a vaccine would not be widely available until the middle of next year and that masks were perhaps even more important than a vaccine for curbing the spread of the virus. Mr. Trump told reporters later that day that he believed the director had "made a mistake." A vaccine would go "to the general public immediately," the president claimed, and "under no circumstance will it be as late as the doctor said."

White House Blocked C.D.C. Order to Keep Cruise Ships Docked

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The C.D.C. director wanted a "no sail" order extended until February, a policy that would have upset the tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida. The White House has blocked a new order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep cruise ships docked until mid-February, a step that would have displeased the politically powerful tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida.

Carr wants us to believe that we as humans have made the internet our primary source for information and it has affect our ability to read books or longer texts. "people have become so machinelike that the most human character turns out to be a machine...we come to rely on computers to mediate our understanding of the world, it is our own intelligence that flattens into artificial intelligence." The source Nietzsches has affected me the most because he went from writing with pen and paper to using a typewriter and overtime his style of writing changed.

# data[].attributes.body
In Carr's writing I noticed around 17-18 sources. Three sources that stuck out to me we. First, he referred to how Marshall McLuhan a media theorist pointed out that media wasn't just a channel for info but also for other things! Second, he talked about Bruce Friedman and how using the internet has "altered" his mental habits. Lastly, Friedrich Nietzsches and how his writing changed overtime while using a typewriter. I think Carr used so many sources because he wanted to get the bigger picture. He wanted every point of view there was to come to a conclusion. I learned that I should look at all kinds of sources to get out every possible view to analyze and satisfy every possible outcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I did some research on Fredrich Nietzsche to get a better understanding of who he was. I learned that his philosophy contemplated the meaning of values and the significance of human existence. I also learned that as he evolved his writing also began to change. After these few activities, I began to see both the good and bad sides to what Carr has been talking about.

A cruise ship is a luxury vessel many people vacation in. Cruise ships are known around the world and are very successful. My family and I usually travel on the Carnival Cruise Line. How much does Carnival Cruise make? Carnival cruise made $18.9 billion in total revenue in 2018.  Why is this business so successful? Vacationing is meant to be a relaxing time. Many people plan their vacation on Crusie Ships because it has everything you need, fantastic food, a place to sleep, and entertainment all in one place. Where do most of the passengers come from? The U.S. is the number one country that loves cruising with 11.5 million passengers.

Step onto a cruise ship, and the first thing that you likely notice is how luxurious - and big - cruise ships really are.

From grand promenades like something you'd see in a Las Vegas hotel to ships that measure 20 decks and more than 1,000 feet long, it's obvious that cruise lines spend a lot of money building the vessels. In fact, some of these newest ships cost more than $1 billion to build.

Of course, cruise lines wouldn't spend that much money if they didn't know they could earn it all back... plus a tidy profit. And with thousands of people on a ship, each trip made by the ship brings in hundreds of thousands - and even millions of dollars - in revenue.

But have you ever wondered just how much the cruise lines are really making each day? With dozens of cruise ships holding tens of thousands of people, the numbers have to be astounding. Meanwhile, how much are individual cruise ships making for every day that they sail?

Given that we've covered how much cruise lines make from each passenger in the past, we decided to see just how much cruise lines and the biggest cruise ships make each day they operate.

How Much Money Cruise Lines Make Each Day

Major cruise lines are publicly traded companies, with stock on the major exchanges. As such, they are required to file regular financial results. We took a look at the latest yearly results for three major cruise lines: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian to dive into exactly how much money they make.

Before we get too far, you should know that these calculations represent "back of the envelope" math. Today's cruise lines are highly complex organizations with a number of different assets.

For example, Carnival Corporation actually encompasses a number of different lines, including Carnival, Princess, Holland America, and more. Meanwhile, financial reports usually don't break down figures based solely on individual cruise lines. Therefore, we have to look at the company as a whole to get an idea of what it earns from each cruise line.

Carnival Corporation
As the largest cruise company in the world, Carnival Corporation is famous for the Carnival brand, but also features other lines including the aforementioned Princess and Holland America, and AIDA, Seabourn and others.

All told, Carnival Corp. brought in a staggering $18.9 billion in revenue across all of its lines for the 2018 fiscal year. Divided by 365 days, that comes out to $51,728,767 in revenue earned each day.

How much of that turns into profit? The cruise line had a total profit of $3.15 billion last year. Divided by the days in a year, that comes out to a daily profit of $8,635,616.

Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD
Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD is famous for the largest cruise ships on the planet, but did you know it is also the parent company of Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises, and Silversea Cruises? It also has joint partnerships in TUI and Pullmantur. In total, the cruise line operates nearly 60 ships that cover the world.

As you might expect, all those ships bring in a lot of money. In the past year, Royal Caribbean saw revenue of $9.5 billion from its business. That's a total of $26,010,545 divided out for each day of the year.

Royal Caribbean is also highly profitable. With 2018 profits of $1.82 billion, the cruise company earned a profit of $4,974,773 per day across its fleet.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has made waves recently with the introduction of its largest ships, including Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Joy, and the Norwegian Encore. However, it also operates cruises under the Oceania and Regent brands.

While Norwegian is the smallest of the "big three" cruise companies, it still brings in a healthy amount of money. Last year saw revenue of $6.1 billion, or $16,589,386 each day. As for profits, the company had a bottom line of $954.8 million - or $2,616,008 per day.

To summarize, here's how much these three cruise companies earned in 2018:

How Much Money The Biggest Cruise Ships Make Each Day

While it's interesting to see how much cruise lines are making per day, the numbers are so large that they can be difficult to wrap your head around. What is more approachable is how much the cruise lines make from their individual ships.

Again, before we get too far, you should understand this is a "back of the envelope" calculation. Cruise lines don't break down their revenue or profit from individual ships. Specific trips will earn more or less, so these figures are just an estimate.

To calculate how much a ship makes, we first calculated how many people sail on each ship. Cruise lines report an occupancy rate for the entire cruise line.

This figure is usually between 105-108%, indicating that all rooms have at least two guests on average, and some also have a third.

From there, we multiplied the number of guests by the revenue per passenger a ship makes each day. Revenue per passenger is calculated by dividing total revenue earned by the number of passenger cruise days during the year.

For example, if a ship holds 4,000 passengers and sails on a three day cruise, that's 12,000 passenger cruise days.

Carnival Horizon
Carnival Horizon represents Carnival's newest and largest ship in its fleet. First launched in 2018, the ship is homeported in Miami. It has 3,960 berths, but in 2018 Carnival saw an occupancy rate of 106.9%. Using these figures, we can estimate that the typical cruise on this ship has 4,233 passengers.

Meanwhile, given that Carnival brought in revenue $18.9 billion across its fleet and had 89.7 million "passenger days" on its ships, we can estimate the cruise line earned $211 per person, per day.

With 4,223 passengers spending an average of $211 per day, that would mean the Carnival Horizon earns an estimated $891,053 each day.

Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas
Symphony of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's newest ship and the largest in the world. All told the ship carries 5,518 passengers at double occupancy. But according to its financial reports, Royal Caribbean sees occupancy levels of 108.9%. So the estimated number of passengers in our calculation would actually be 6,009.

With revenue of $9.5 billion and 41.85 million passenger days on its ship, that means Royal Caribbean brings in an average of $227 per person each day on its ships.

In total, 6,009 passengers times $227 each gives a total estimated revenue of $1,364,043 each day aboard the Symphony of the Seas.

Norwegian Bliss
Launched in 2018, Norwegian Bliss made headlines not only due to its size (nearly 1,100 feet) but also its features. Notably, the ship offers a go-kart track at sea; one of the most unique features ever seen.

All told, the Norwegian Bliss has room for 4,004 guests, assuming double occupancy. However, like other cruise lines Norwegian sails above 100% capacity. In 2018, the occupancy figure was 107.6%. If Norwegian Bliss sails at this level, it means 4,308 passengers on the ship.

According to financial reports, Norwegian brought in just under $6.1 billion last year with 20.3 million passenger days. Quick division shows that the cruise line earned $299 per person, per day in 2018.

With 4,308 passengers on the Norwegian Bliss bringing in $299 per day, that would mean revenue of $1,288,092 for each day.

Here's how the estimated revenue figures we calculated stack up:

My origin story living life is about a time that I traveled to Alaska. I write about the feelings I felt as I admired Alaska's beauty. The beauty brought so much joy and curiosity. The thrill of meeting new places and new people was exhilarating. I spent a week on the cruise ship with thousands of strangers with the same desire to see the Last Frontier. The longer I spent on that cruise ship the more questions I had. How many people are on this ship? Why do people spend so much money on vacation? Why are cruise ships so successful? Who created the idea of traveling on cruise ships? Does vacationing make people happy?

First, I tried the Week 5 Virtual Classroom, where I got the chance to get feedback from other students. I got feedback that helped me improve on certain parts that I needed in help on. For example, a peer helped me fix parts where there had to be clarification on the speaker's point of view or paraphrasing quotes. Next, I had the chance to purchase Grammarly Premium to help me catch mistakes in my punctuation throughout the summary. Finally, I looked into using the CTRL+F shortcut on my laptop to help me find any first-person language and change it to the correct format, which is third-person language. Ultimately I learned how to correctly summarize a ted talk and use resources to help improve my writing.

In the Ted Talk "How to make stress your friend" Kelly McGonigal shares about how her view on stress and how it has changed over time. She takes time to change the audience's perspective on stress and gives useful tips to help cope with stress. Everyone deals with stress; over time it has become a negative thing. Kelly is a health psychologist with a mission to help people be happier and healthier.

As she begins, McGonigal uses studies to show how stress has become harmful to public health. She uses statistics to explain how people who had a higher risk of dying were also those who believed that stress is bad. Those who didn’t view stress as harmful had a lower risk of dying. Positively looking at stressful situations can save a person’s life! McGonigal introduces a hormone that humans have called Oxytocin also known as the cuddle hormone that makes people want physical contact with others. She explains that people’s biological stress response is the things driving them to tell others how they feel. This stress response helps people become aware of their surroundings and wants them to be surrounded by loved ones. Kelly McGonigal clarifies that stress gives people access to their hearts. This different view has allowed people to trust themselves during stressful situations and has reminded them that they don't have to do it alone.

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.

I reviewed with my sister and aunt. We talked about it during lunch. We were casually talking about different things that cause our stress. I then told them about a TedTalk that I watched that was all about "making stress your friend". I showed them a clip of the talk before explaining what it was about. I then talked to them about how the speaker really draws us in with evidence and certain things that can be very relatable. It was kind of a difficult conversation because we would go off topic and talk about something else. I used google docs to copy and paste the transcript, I then highlighted power verbs and added comments to each phrase on the margin!

# data[].attributes.body
Kelly explains how it is her "...mission is to help people be happier and healthier..." She uses the power verb mission to make her goal more meaningful.

Kelly talks about, "your biological stress response is nudging you to tell someone how you feel..." The power verb nudging seems to paint a picture in my head! I picture the response being a friend that pushing you towards your crush.

1. To activate my schema on my TedTalk I looked up Kelly McGonigal, the speaker of "How to make stress your friend".
Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University. She is the leading expert in the field of "science help". Passions of her include translating cutting-edge research from psychology, and medicine into practical strategies for health, happiness, and personal success.

2. Three ways you can activate schema:

Research about author/speaker

Watch a video about the topic

Read background text

Researching about the author/speaker is the technique that helps me the most. Learning more about the speaker helps me get a better understanding of the topic/text. The speaker's background makes it more important and relevant.

I grew up in church, there are so many things that have impacted my life in the best way but one of the most important to me is a place. Glacier View Ranch, an alpine Christian retreat/conference center has been a big part of my life forever. Our church would gather every year on the same weekend and at the same place as other Hispanic churches around Colorado. It became a tradition, where we would gather to enjoy nature and most importantly worship God together. As the years went by this location became so important to me.

Friday afternoon we gather up all of our things, getting ready to head out for an amazing weekend. Mom has prepared breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us to enjoy this weekend. Dad has loaded up the truck with all of our camping essentials especially our warm fuzzy blankets. Our family usually rents out a cabin next to the lake for the weekend. It is the perfect location, has the most amazing view of the lake, and has a good walking distance from the church. Thankfully we live 48.3 miles away from Glacier View Ranch, it takes us 1 hour and 14 minutes to get there. As we drive I admire the beauty that surrounds us. I reach over to put the window down and I listen closely to the river rush by, the sound calms me.

We arrive at the check-in booth around 7 p.m. My dad parks the truck next to this immense wooden cabin.

He tells me, “Mija, baja conmigo para conseguir la llave de la cabaña”

“Si, claro Dad” I respond excitingly.

Once we have the key we drive a few minutes up to our cabin. I slowly open the truck door and step out, the first thing  I feel is the autumn breeze swift through my hair, then I’m drawn to the stars and the moon that is so effortlessly painted on the lake, and lastly, my nose seems to be overtaken by the smell of burning wood making me want to be sitting around the campfire and singing, and eating smores.   At that moment I thought to myself. “Man does this place bring me so much peace and joy.” ever since I wondered, Do others have a happy place?

July 5th, 2019 I wake up in a bed that is not mine. On a cruise ship 2,591.3 miles away from home. I leap out of bed and race to the shower to get ready for an adventure. All my life I’ve dreamt of traveling to Alaska “The Last Frontier”.  As I’m having my routine shower concert I am startled by a bell in the hall, morning announcements in the ship gave me flashbacks to elementary school.
“Good Morning folks, We will be docking in Skagway, Alaska in the next few minutes.” Explained the Morning Captain.
“Because I’m happy ” I sang along to Pharrell’s  song “Happy”

Skipping toward the elevator I thought to myself, “Wow, Alaska has the perfect weather during summer, it isn't super hot and not chilly enough for a jacket.” I arrived at deck 9 also known as the lido deck for breakfast looking anxiously for the perfect plate of food. I walked by the breakfast bar and man did those pancakes look so fluffy, almost like a freshly fluffed pillow. I really appreciated the crew ship members that day for preparing such mouth-watering food.

After breakfast, my parents and I headed down to exit the ship. The fresh breeze of the ocean softly kissed my checks and instantly filled my heart with joy. Perambulating through Skagway I admired its beauty. The deep blue ocean filled with white tremendous glaciers and the tall staggering mountains crowded with green pines left me dumbfounded. It was at that moment I realized what made me grateful to be alive. As we hopped from gift shop to gift shop, I wondered to myself what makes people feel alive? Does traveling bring this much joy to others as it does to me?

Walking through those doors, time slowed down in my mind, I was dramatically walking by with my headphones in like the protagonist during the opening scene of a self-identity movie, carrying a backpack that could be used in a weight lifting class, and the daunting thought of walking into the wrong class or tripping in the crowded cafeteria. During my first year, I quickly noticed that my classes seemed to be full of all kinds of students. The typical stereotypes walked in the jock/popular kid, the nerd, the theater/band geek, the emo/goth, and the loner too. A building filled with kids who are so different but similar at the same time.

As the years went by I noticed all these students including myself were wrestling with self-identity. I crept those halls for four years and took a psychology class to realize that we were all figuring out who we were. We all made friends that made us look forward to going to class, we lost some due to terrible experiences, we cried when we felt hopeless and laughed so hard we got kicked out of class. I learned to love myself, where I came from, and what I believe in. I found that I was passionate about psychology and how it affects all of us. It was a spiritual awakening.
God said, "Lluvia you are meant to help others."

In the beginning, I questioned how those four years of my life would be like. I wondered if they would be the best years of my life or the worst. High school is the stage in our life where we question everything. Where we become our favorite version of ourselves or our least favorite. The place we discover who we are and what we like. I was content with the idea of who I wanted to be, I want to help others become the best version of themselves. Will we ever be satisfied with ourselves? Or will we want to become the best version?

I think it takes passion and curiosity to have a great idea! It begins with curiosity, the who, what, when, where, why, and how the idea comes to be. Passion is the thing that drives you to stay aware and true to the idea. Curiosity and Passion work well together to make a great idea.

Things I find to be true:
1. Self-advocacy is crucial to succeeding in a class!
- Ask question when unsure
- Make your feelings and thoughts clear
2. Interest/Passion in what you write!
- Find topics that make you excited to write about it!
3. Time Management
- Use time wisely
- Do not PROCRASTINATE!
4. Use resources available to you!
5. Build relationships with classmates
- Future References
- Accessible help

What are some things that make you passionate?
