Even though Universal is closing their Parks, Team Members are being asked to report for their regular shifts. The Orlando Sentinel has exposed this situation with an article this morning. With 27,000 Team Members, Does UO really think of their Team's safety & health? Bad call for UO and upper management!.
Late last night Universal Orlando reevaluated the situation and not everyone will have to come in. https://twitter.com/aliciastella/status/1238673549436616705?s=21

Yikes, as a devoted theme park fan that has been visiting theme parks in the U.S. since 1965 I am shocked.
I understand that they all have no choice but to close for now but this is way too big and completely unprecedented to get my head around.
So unfortunate, so many billions in lost revenue, so many jobs affected. Hoping for a speedy return to some kind of normalcy.


K-PAC's neat, clean appearance attractively blend into its surroundings.
K-PAC's low 40" loading height allows even the most petite person can easily use the compactor. Close the lid, insert the key in the Power Pack console, and start the powerful hydraulic system. The packing blade will automatically cycle. Safety features unique to K-PAC are built into the design to prevent the compaction cycle from operating while the loading chamber is open.
Another safety feature is the "Mushroom Stop" button on the Power Pack console, which will immediately stop operation at any point during the cycle. K-PAC's key-operated system also allows the charge lid to be locked for controlled access and safety.

Martyrdom of Imam Hassan ibn Ali al-Askari (PBUH) : Prayer, a Cry for Justice [ 2014/01/10 ]
Prayer, a Cry for Justice
During the Imamate of Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH), the Abbasids used fear to suppress the people of Qum, and brought oppression and horror in ruling this area. They placed "Mousa Ibn Yahya" as the governor of the province of Qum who was a cruel man and distant from any emotions. He gave people a hard time and was very unfair to them. The people of Qum who had never seen such cruel rule, sent their most respected men to Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH). Imam taught the representatives a supplication to be recited in the Qunoot of each prayer, so that Allah (SWT) removes this major difficulty from their lives.
This supplication, similar to the others has been narrated by the Prophet's Progeny (PBUT), and offers a great encyclopedia, and in fact it is a political charter, a strategic and self-protective principle for moving forward. One can find educational methodologies, cultural views and political awareness in this prayer.
In this supplication, Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH) describes the situation in which a tyrant governor rules, and the difficult condition in which the Shia lived in (and are still living since the era of the Imams (PBUT)). Imam (PBUH) is teaching his followers how to deal with a situation when no action can be taken, and benefit from supplications as a defensive mechanism. Therefore, the nature of this supplication is such that the span of time does not affect its meaning or usefulness; one can benefit from it at the time of trouble in the society and request the Lord for help.
Imam Askari (PBUH) praises Allah (SWT) in the first part of the supplication and then speaks of the difficulties and hardship which the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) endure; he describes the circumstances very eloquently, in a manner particular to the Prophet's Progeny as such:
"O Allah! Calamities have surrounded us, the curtain of bewilderment has befallen upon us, and suffering has crushed us. Those who were not protectors of your religion have become our leaders, those who have become the sources of hatred and animosity (institutions of corruption), the same people who have cancelled your rituals, and have committed to destroy Your servants and Your cities have held on to our destinies.
O Allah! Our wealth (whom You have bestowed upon us), after we distributed it amongst us, went hand in hand and was usurped, and as divine rule and statehood was forced away from us through lobbying, despite being chosen (by Allah to be the Imam of the people) were deemed valueless. Thus, the result came to be usurping the money of the orphans and the widows (from the public treasury) to purchase entertainment. The (unbelievers) forcefully ruled over the believers, and the corrupt (man) of each tribe took over their affairs; therefore no defender has saved them from destruction, and no patrol seeks to protect them, and no caring person exists to quench a thirst. Thus, the pure seekers are on the verge of being wasted, and are held captive, and have allied with sorrow and belittlement….."
Here Imam Askari (PBUH) speaks of the era's political situation: the unorganized situation, the messed up social norms, the lost values and weakened beliefs, and the horrific losses which have befallen Islamic communities. It is clear that the words of the Imam is not limited to the rule of the Abbasid Dynasty, but rather, a call to identify the heresies and deviations of all corrupt rules.
In another section of the supplication, the Imam says, "O Allah! Do not leave a shelter for corruption, except that you destruct it, and do not leave a shield for it except that you collapse it, and do not leave a unified word (for it), unless you disseminate it; and do not leave (it) an army, unless you make it worthless; and do not give it any height, unless you make it one with dirt; and do not leave for it a waving flag, unless you collapse it; and do not leave it any greenery unless you destruct it. Disperse its friends from unanimity, and after unified words, disunite it; and after governing the community, dishonor it…."(1), (2)
This section of the supplication, speaks of the Imam's pain and great sorrow, whom has turned to the One Lord asking for the removal of the corrupt from the Earth. In effect, by this supplication, the Imam is breathing a breath of life into the human soul, and this reminds us of an important pillar, that no matter how much unrighteousness spreads, yet the Divine Hand is so powerful that it can remove its massive volume. So why the hopelessness?
But at the end, the Imam (PBUH) prays for the Awaited (May Allah Hasten His Appearance); the same man who will spread justice among the Ummah, destroy tyranny, and establish God's rule, which will revive hopes, servants and nations. Imam (PBUH) requests the assistance, success, and persistence for the goals of Imam Mahdi (PBUH).
Paying more attention to the details of this prayer will prove how the Shia point of view does not accept ignorance towards oppression and divergence from the origin of religion. Even when the social condition does not allow any action, recognizing and rejecting by heart the type of divergence and those who promote such is important. Likewise the supplication is a ground for expressing hatred for oppression and corruption. Similar supplications have also been narrated from Imam Askari (PBUH) that have had strong effects on people; they not only awakened people from individualism, which created a sense of sympathy with others, but also continues to make them sensitive to the corruptions in society.
(The above is a selection taken from, "The Life of Imam Hassan al-Askari (PBUH)", by Late Baqir Sharif al-Qurashi (with some changes and additions))
The Roshd Website offers condolences to all Muslims, especially you dear friend, upon 8th of Rabee al-Awwal, the anniversary of the Martyrdom of the flag of guidance, the light of piety, the ore of wisdom and knowledge, the 11th Imam of the Shiites, Imam Hassan ibn Ali al-Askari (PBUH).
1. Mahaj al-Da'awaat, p. 63
2. Considering the deep concepts proposed by Imam through the supplication, our effort has been to reflect an exact translation of the main concepts. To this goal the persian translations of Seyyed Hassan Islami and Muhammad Sadwiq Shariat have been used.

Weight Loss & Obesity - Prescription Weight Loss Drugs
Eating less and moving more are the basics of weight loss that lasts. For some people, prescription weight loss drugs may help.
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases: "Prescription Medications for the Treatment of Obesity.". FDA: "FDA Drug Safety Communication: Completed Safety Review of Xenical/Alli (orlistat) and Severe Liver Injury," "Medications Target Long-Term Weight Control."
Dr. Arefa Cassoobhoy: 4 new weight loss drugs were approved recently, and more are sure to come. So, the question is, should you try one? The truth is weight loss drugs CAN help. You may want to try one if you're obese, or if you're overweight with a condition like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. So, how much weight can they help you lose? About 10% of your excess weight. Now that may not seem like a lot, but it's a realistic goal to start with. And, once you tackle that first 10% you can set a new goal. Just remember, these drugs won't lose the weight for you. But they will give an added boost to your diet and exercise plan. If you think this is something you want to try, talk to your doctor. For WebMD I'm Dr. Arefa Cassoobhoy.
You'll still need to focus on diet and exercise while taking these drugs, and they're not for everyone.
Doctors usually prescribe them only if your BMI is 30 or higher, or if it's at least 27 and you have a condition that may be related to your weight, like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
The medication semaglutide (Wegovy) received FDA approval for treatment of obesity in 2021. More common prescription weight loss drugs which have been in use longer include: liraglutide (Saxenda), naltrexone-bupropion (Contrave), orlistat (Alli, Xenical), phentermine (Adipex-P, Ionamin, Pro-Fast), and phentermine-topiramate (Qsymia).
Before you get a weight loss drug prescription, tell your doctor about your medical history. That includes any allergies or other conditions you have; medicines or supplements you take (even if they're herbal or natural); and whether you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant soon.
Liraglutide (Saxenda)
How it works: Liraglutide is a higher dose of the type 2 diabetes drug Victoza. It mimics an intestinal hormone that tells the brain your stomach is full.
Approved for long-term use? Yes.
Side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, low blood pressure, and increased appetite. Serious side effects can include raised heart rate, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney problems, and suicidal thoughts. Liraglutide has been shown in studies to cause thyroid tumors in animals, but it is not yet known if it can cause thyroid cancer in humans.
What else you should know: If you don't lose 4% of your weight after 16 weeks of taking Liraglutide, your doctor may tell you to stop taking it, because it's unlikely to work for you, the FDA says.
Naltrexone HCl and bupropion (Contrave)
How it works: Contrave is a combination of two FDA-approved drugs, naltrexone and bupropion, in an extended-release formula. Naltrexone is approved to treat alcohol and opioid dependence. Bupropion is approved to treat depression, seasonal affective disorder, and help people stop smoking.
Side effects: The most common side effects include nausea, constipation, headache, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, and dry mouth. Contrave has a boxed warning about the increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors associated with bupropion. The warning also notes that serious neuropsychiatric issues linked to bupropion have been reported. Contrave can cause seizures and must not be used in patients who have seizure disorders. The drug can also increase blood pressure and heart rate.
What else you should know: If you don't lose 5% of your weight after 12 weeks of taking Contrave, your doctor may tell you to stop taking it, because it's unlikely to work for you, the FDA says.
Orlistat (Xenical)
How it works: Blocks your body from absorbing about a third of the fat you eat.
When a doctor prescribes orlistat, it's called Xenical. If you get it without a prescription, it's called Alli, which has half of Xenical's dose.
Side effects include abdominal cramping, passing gas, leaking oily stool, having more bowel movements, and not being able to control bowel movements.
These side effects are generally mild and temporary. But they may get worse if you eat high-fat foods.
Rare cases of severe liver injury have been reported in people taking orlistat, but it's not certain that the drug caused those problems.
What else you should know: You should be on a low-fat diet (less than 30% of your daily calories from fat) before taking orlistat.
Also, take a multivitamin at least 2 hours before or after taking orlistat, because the drug temporarily makes it harder for your body to absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Orlistat is the only drug of its kind that's approved in the U.S. All other prescription weight loss drugs curb your appetite, including the following.
How it works: Curbs your appetite.
Your doctor may prescribe this under the names including Adipex or Suprenza.
Approved for long-term use? No. It's approved for short-term use (a few weeks) only.
Side effects can be serious, such as raising your blood pressure or causing heart palpitations, restlessness, dizziness, tremor, insomnia, shortness of breath, chest pain, and trouble doing activities you've been able to do.Less serious side effects include dry mouth, unpleasant taste, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting.
As with some other appetite suppressants, there's a risk of becoming dependent upon the drug.
Don't take it late in the evening, as it may cause insomnia.
If you take insulin for diabetes, let your doctor know before you take phentermine, as you may need to adjust your insulin dose.
You should not take phentermine if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. You also shouldn't take it if you have glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, or a history of drug abuse, or if you are pregnant or nursing.
What else you should know: Phentermine is an amphetamine. Because of the risk of addiction or abuse, such stimulant drugs are "controlled substances," which means they need a special type of prescription.
Phentermine and topiramate (Qsymia)
Qsymia combines phentermine with the seizure/migraine drug topiramate. Topiramate causes weight loss in several ways, including helping you feel full, making foods taste less appealing, and burning more calories.
Approved for long-term use? Yes. Qsymia has much lower amounts of phentermine and topiramate than when these drugs are given alone.
Side effects: The most common side effects are tingling hands and feet, dizziness, altered sense of taste, insomnia, constipation, and dry mouth.
Serious side effects include certain birth defects (cleft lip and cleft palate), faster heart rate, suicidal thoughts or actions, and eye problems that could lead to permanent vision loss if not treated.
Women who might become pregnant should get a pregnancy test before taking Qsymia, and should use birth control and get monthly pregnancy tests while on the drug.
You also shouldn't take Qsymia if you have glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, heart disease, or stroke. Get regular checks of your heart when starting the drug or increasing the dose.
What else you should know: If you don't lose at least 3% of your weight after 12 weeks on Qsymia, the FDA recommends that you stop taking it or that your doctor increase your dose for the next 12 weeks -- and if that doesn't work, you should gradually stop taking it.
Semaglutide (Wegovy)
How it works: Semaglutide working by imitating an intestinal hormone that stimulates insulin production, lowering your appetite and making you feel full
Semaglutide was initially approved as a treatment of type 2 diabetes and is prescribed for that use under the names Ozempic and Rybelsus. As Wegovy, it is specifically for treatment of obesity.
Side effects include abdominal cramping, constipation, vomiting, passing gas, headache, Fatigue, and gastro reflux.
These side effects are generally mild and temporary.
In rare case, issues involving the kidney as well as blurred vision have occurred. Semaglutide has been linked with instances of disease of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Get medical help right away if you develop symptoms of pancreatitis, including: severe stomach/abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop.
What else you should know: Indications are that you would need to take semaglutide for life to manage your weight. Ceasing to take it could lead to regaining most of the lost weight.
You should also follow a low-calorie diet and exercise program.

Agreement to pave path between Nigerian university and UWindsor
UWindsor president Alan Wildeman and Igbekele Amos Ajibefun, vice-chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, sign a memorandum of understanding linking the two schools.
An agreement signed Monday will open a path to cooperation between the University of Windsor and an institution in south-west Nigeria.
Igbekele Amos Ajibefun, vice-chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, was on campus to meet with Windsor officials and sign a formal agreement that will enable its students to pursue studies here.

It's a very nice fit for UWindsor, says Ram Balachandar, vice-provost for international development.
"Our programs match up nicely in science, the social sciences and business," he says. "We are creating an opportunity for students to spend two years there and two years here. Hopefully in time, we can have our students go there."

Romeo Santos, Enrique Iglesias And More Contend For Latin Songwriters Hall Of Fame
February 7, 2017 - 3:04 pm by Shanice Davis TWITTER
The "King of Bachata" and the "King of Latin Pop" are up for the prestigious honor.
Romeo Santos and Enrique Iglesias are among 24 prominent artists nominated for the 2017 Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The "King of Bachata" holds it down for the Dominican Republic, while the "King of Latin Pop" represents for Spain as they contend with the likes of reggaeton elite Ivy Queen, famed producer Armando Avila and the first Panamanian woman to take home a Latin Grammy, Erika Ender.
Only six candidates will surpass the fierce competition to earn a spot in the coveted induction ceremony at the La Musa Awards in October, Billboard reports. "This year's La Musa Awards and inductees will be a star-studded event gleaming with some of the most notable Latin music icons of all time," said LSHOF founders Desmond Child and Rudy Pérez in a joint statement.
Before winners are announced in April, fans can cast votes by March 3 to ensure their favorite nominees get an upper hand. Check out the full list of nominees here.

Jennifer Lopez's Iconic Versace Dress To Be Transformed Into Swanky Watch
The iconic Versace dress worn by Jennifer Lopez that sparked the creation of Google Images is now a luxurious watch.
To mark the brand's Spring-Summer 2020 collection, the brand has decided to reprise the Medusa Frame jungle print by way of a sleek timepiece. In addition to the new collection, this also marks the 20th anniversary of Donatella Versace's legendary jungle print. Roman numbers are found in the dial along with an interchangeable black leather strap for additional styling. The piece will cause Versace and J.Lo fans a pretty penny at $1,495.00 when it hits retailers in May.
Since her jaw-dropping fashion moment, the actress-singer has rocked the print a few times. A jumpsuit version was worn in the visuals for "I Luv Ya Papi" back in 2014 with a revamped version of the gown making its way to Milan Fashion Week in 2019.
But the jungle print wristwatch isn't the only second coming of the print. The brand will also release shirts, heart-shaped necklaces, Squalo sneakers and beaded as a three-dimensional décor on Virtus handbags.
Originally worn to the Grammys in 2000, Lopez's take on the dress was both a music and fashion moment. Although the dress was worn by Spice Girls member Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, Donatella Versace and Sandra Bullock (in another color), Lopez's daring look cemented her spot in pop culture.
"I really didn't think about it. I didn't think it was all that risqué, to be honest," Lopez told Vogue in 2019. "I was more excited it was the Grammys. I wasn't even thinking about the dress all that much. I was just glad I had something to wear."

'Hustlers' Inspiration Sues Jennifer Lopez's Production Company For $40 Million
Samantha Barbash has filed a federal lawsuit against Jennifer Lopez's production company and others apart of the megahit Hustlers, with claims that her likeness was exploited in the film.
According to PEOPLE, Barbash's suit includes Lopez's production company Nuyorican Productions, STX Entertainment, Gloria Sanchez Productions and Pole Sisters LLC. Lawyer Bruno V. Gioffre Jr. claims filmmakers tried to "obtain a consent and waiver from Ms. Barbash for the production of the film and their ultimate portrayal" of her and failed after Barbash refused to sign over her life rights. The film was still made as it was based on a 2015 New York Magazine article titled, "The Hustlers at Scores," about Barbash and several co-workers who drugged wealthy clients for their money.
Released in 2018, critics and fans fawned over Lopez's strong performance but Barbash shared in several interviews she wasn't impressed. She is now seeking $20 million in compensatory damages and $20 million in punitive damages. Barbash and her lawyer pointed towards specific scenes in the film that weren't accurate like Lopez's character "using and manufacturing illegal substances in her home where she lived with her child."
"I'm a businesswoman. J. Lo doesn't work for free. Why would I? At the end of the day, I have bags that are worth more than what they wanted to pay me," Barbash told TMZ in September 2018. "She had my birthmark that I have. I used to have a piercing on the top of my lip. She had it on the bottom. She had a tattoo on her finger. I had it on my wrist. But her mannerisms? No. I am nothing like that in person."
Hustlers proved to be a hit at the box office, grossing over $33 million in its opening weekend. Lopez has also received critical praise for her performance and earned a Golden Globe nomination.

Camila Cabello Issues Apology For Resurfaced Racist Tumblr Posts
Camila Cabello has released another apology about disturbing racist posts she shared on her Tumblr page in her teens. Her Tumblr account, which went by the name "vous-etess-belle," shared various posts that mocked African-Americans and Asian people. The posts were pretty corny as they used stereotypes like chicken and watermelon to mock black people. One post also made fun of hip-hop music with a meme of Lil Wayne.

— 🌉 || fan account (@motivatefenty) December 17, 2019
The posts from the Tumblr page were circulated on Twitter by way of user @motivatefenty. While the posts were ultimately taken down, Cabello now 22, posted a lengthy apology on Twitter.
"When I was younger, I used language that I'm deeply ashamed of and will regret forever," she wrote. "I was uneducated and ignorant and once I became aware of the history and the weight and the true meaning behind this horrible and hurtful language, I was deeply embarrassed I ever used it. I apologized then and I apologize again now."

The singer has apologized in the past for her behavior and went through a revamp of sorts in 2016 by showing love to the Black Lives Matter movement, supporting Dreamers and donating money to various charities.
camila cabello is racist, homophobic, and problematic: a thread

"I'm 22 now, I'm an adult and I've grown and learned and am conscious and aware of the history and the pain [this] carries in a way I wasn't before," the post continued. "Those mistakes don't represent the person I am or a person I've ever been. I only stand and have ever stood for love and inclusivity, and my heart has never, even then, had any ounce of hate or divisiveness. The truth is I was embarrassingly ignorant and unaware. I use my platform to speak out about injustice and inequality and I'll continue doing that. I can't say enough how deeply sorry and ashamed I feel, and I apologize again from the bottom of my heart."
As previously mentioned, Cabello's past behavior has been highlighted in the past. The former Fifth Harmony singer operated a mock Twitter account called "Ratchet and Sassy" to use the n-word and also used the word to describe former bandmate Normani. She apologized in 2013, calling them immature.
Despite their past, Normani and Cabello are on good terms. In an interview with The Fader, the "Motivation" singer recalled the moment where she was bullied with racial slurs by the group's fans after they misinterpreted the singer's reaction to a question about Cabello.
"[The girls] offered support, but I'm not sure they could be there in the way that I needed because it's not their experience," Normani explained. "They don't have to face on a day-to-day basis the things that I have to. I definitely learned after that that I had to walk a different way. I can't look like everybody else. We're all on good terms. Conversations have obviously been had. I spoke to [Camila] at Billboard Music Awards. I saw her again at the VMAs, and no bad blood at all."
Meanwhile, Cabello's boyfriend, fellow pop star Shawn Mendes has also apologized for "racially insensitive" social posts he's used in the past. "I apologize wholeheartedly for what was said & understand how offensive those posts were," he said in August, according to CBS News. "There is no place for comments like that, and those words do not represent who I am. I stand for complete inclusivity, equality, & love."

Scorers: Leeds United: Lorimer, Madeley (2), Hibbitt, Jones. Southampton: Nil.
Leeds United: Sprake; Reaney, Cooper; Bates, Madeley, Hunter; Greenhoff, Lorimer, Jones, Giles, Hibbitt.
Southampton: Martin; Webb, Jones; Gabriel, Paton, Walker; Paine, Channon, Davies, Byrne, Saul.
Leeds United were amongst the goals when the entertained Southampton , which was quite a surprise as United went into the match lacking the services of Billy Bremner, Jack Charlton and Eddie Gray due to injury. Paul Madeley deputised at centre-half and Mick Bates was in Bremner's place in midfield while Terry Hibbitt came in on the left-wing. Saints had their £45,000 signing from Tottenham Hotspur, Frank Saul, on the left wing and switched nineteen year-old Mike Channon to inside-right.
Elland Road was frozen hard and there was a light covering of snow on it but United, who had beaten Fulham 5-0 at Craven Cottage in the previous League game, made light of the difficult conditions and stormed into a two goal lead inside twelve minutes. Peter Lorimer missed a sitter in the ninth minute, hitting high and wide but in the same minute he put United a goal up, lobbing the ball over the on-rushing keeper and running on to head it in. Less than three minutes later United increased their lead when Madeley fired home after a rebound and the versatile United man had the home fans in a 31,474 crowd cheering again when he scored a second goal and United's third in the first minute of the second half. A crisp drive from the left foot of Terry Hibbitt made it 4-0 and Mick Jones popped up five minutes from the end to head United's fifth and complete Southampton's misery.
Little had been seen of Saul, the winger who joined the Saints in a deal which took Martin Chivers to Tottenham. United's all round team display had seen to that and there was additional satisfaction to be gained from a victory, which took Don Revie's men into second place in the First Division. It was United's fifth successive win and this goal glut against the Saints helped them finish the season with seventy-one league goals, though they had to be content with a final placing of fourth in the First Division after losing their last four games of the campaign.

NY nurse becomes first American to receive COVID-19 vaccine
Posted: Monday 12.14.2020 2:03 pm Hassan Abbas Health, U.S.A
NEW YORK – On Monday, New York's Sandra Lindsay, an intensive care unit nurse, who has treated some of the sickest COVID-19 cases for months, became the first person in the U.S. to receive the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
"It didn't feel any different from taking any other vaccine," Lindsay said. "I feel hopeful today, relieved. I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history. I want to instill public confidence that the vaccine is safe."
NY Governor Andrew Cuomo tweeted the below photo of Lindsay as she received the injection at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, saying "This is what heroes look like." President Trump also wrote a tweet marking the ocassion: "First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!"
This is what heroes look like.

2.9 million doses of the vaccine, which is 95 percent effective against the virus, began being shipped to distribution centers around the country on Sunday. The first shipments shipped out of Pfizer's facility near Kalamazoo, Michigan, packed into trucks with dry-ice to maintain the necessary minus 70 Celsius (-94 Fahrenheit) temperature.
They were transported to UPS and FedEx planes waiting at air fields in Lansing and Grand Rapids. The vaccines are being transported to 636 vaccine-staging areas across the country over the next few days.
"This is the most difficult vaccine rollout in history," U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams told Fox News on Monday. "There will be hiccups undoubtedly, but we've done everything from a federal level and working with partners to make it go as smoothly as possible. Please be patient with us," Adams said, adding that he would get the shot as soon as he could."
The U.S. reached more than 16 million confirmed COVID-19 cases on Monday and is projected to surpass 300,000 deaths from the virus.

Deaths of two leaders left Korean society divided
Residents leave a memorial altar in front of Seoul City Hall, Sunday, after offering their condolences over the death of Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon.

Public split over evaluation of late Mayor Park, General Paik
By Jun Ji-hye
The recent deaths of two prominent national figures ― Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon and Korean War hero Paik Sun-yup ― have seen the emergence of polarized public opinion, focusing society on the deeply dividing and complex issues that the country already faces.
The conflict comes amid different assessments of the lives of the two leaders ― some argue that their accomplishments should be honored, thus they deserve respectful treatment in their funerals; while others claim that people should not overlook the wrongdoings they committed.
Park, a former civic activist and human rights lawyer, and three-term Seoul mayor, had been considered a potential candidate for the 2022 presidential election. But he took his own life Thursday, a day after he was accused of sexual harassment by a female former secretary.
Paik, the South Korea's first four-star general, led the 1st Infantry Division that played a critical role during Korean War in stopping North Korean troops from taking over the entire peninsula. But he was also regarded as a controversial figure due to his "pro-Japanese" activities before the Korean War broke out.
The late mayor, a member of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), was found dead on a path on Mount Bukak in Seoul at 12:01 a.m. Friday, a few days after his former secretary filed a complaint with police, Wednesday, over alleged sexual harassment since 2017.
Expressing condolences over his sudden death, the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) announced Friday that it would hold a five-day mourning period for Park at Seoul National University Hospital, in accordance with official guidelines, and also place a memorial altar in front of Seoul City Hall for the public to pay their respects.
Immediately after the announcement, some members of the public and politicians raised the question of whether it was appropriate to hold a "public funeral" for the late mayor who faced sexual harassment allegations.
A citizen posted a petition on the website run by the presidential office, Friday, calling on the memorial and funeral service plans to be cancelled.
"Because of Park's death, the police are on course to officially close an investigation of the sexual harassment complaint raised against him before it could even begin," the petitioner wrote.
"Why should citizens watch the lavish five-day funeral of an influential politician who apparently killed himself over the sexual assault allegation? What kind of message do they want to send to the public? I believe Park's funeral service should be held quietly among family members."

The petition has been signed by more than 510,000 citizens as of 1 p.m. Sunday.
Cheong Wa Dae is required to give an official response to a petition that generates more than 200,000 signatures in a month.
Amid a wave of angry comments in online communities, some politicians including Ahn Cheol-soo, head of the minor opposition People's Party, decided not to offer their respects to the late mayor.
"High-ranking officials and leading politicians in this country should take some time for self-examination regarding their behavior," Ahn wrote on Facebook.
On the other hand, there have been many supporters of Park who expressed condolences over his death, paying their respects to his accomplishments.
More than 9,000 residents have visited his memorial alters as of 10 a.m., Sunday, while more than 620,000 have offered condolences at an online memorial run by the SMG.
DPK Chairman Lee Hae-chan said, "The DPK pays tribute to the deceased in honor of his life dedicated to civic rights."
Yoo Yong-hwa, a visiting professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, said that what drove Park to kill himself remains unknown, but it is true that many people presume he committed suicide because of pressure following the sexual harassment complaint filed against him.
The professor added that it was also true that Park played many important roles as Seoul mayor for the best part of a decade.
"An objective assessment of what he has done well and what he has done wrong while he was in office should follow after his funeral," Yoo said. "And then, discussions about the victim in the alleged sexual harassment case should also follow to come up with proper countermeasures."
The death of Paik Sun-yup, Friday, has also been causing a confrontation between conservatives and progressives.
While the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs decided to bury his remains at Daejeon National Cemetery, the conservative opposition United Future Party called for him to be buried at Seoul National Cemetery considering his accomplishments.
But the progressive Justice Party claimed Paik should not be buried at any national cemetery, citing controversy over his service in the Gando Special Force, an independent battalion of the Manchuko Imperial Army, a military force which included many pro-Japanese Koreans, that was tasked with suppressing those opposed to imperial Japan's annexation of the Korean peninsula.

MIDDLEBURY – A crash between a pickup truck and a motor home north of Middlebury injured both drivers Friday morning.
It happened on State Road 13 south of Maple Ridge Drive.
Elkhart County deputies say the pickup, driven by 48-year-old Tracy Hagen of White Pigeon, went left of center crashing head on into the northbound motor home driven by 59-year-old Mark Wood of Sturgis.
Hagen suffered fractures to both legs and was flown to Memorial Hospital in South Bend.
Wood complained of neck pain and was transported to Elkhart General Hospital.
Deputies cited Hagen for driving left of center.


Data from Baker Hughes Friday revealed that the number of active U.S. rigs drilling for oil rose by 8 to 617 rigs this week. That marked an eighth weekly increase in a row. The total active U.S. rig count, which includes oil and natural-gas rigs, also rose by 12 to 768, according to Baker Hughes. April West Texas Intermediate crude was down 80 cents, or 1.6%, at $48.48 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices had fallen to intraday lows under $48.40 just minutes ahead of the data.

LAHORE :	Brig (r) Asif Ghazali's over 40 Quranic calligraphy works were displayed at the exhibition inaugurated at the Hamail Art Galleries on Thursday.
The calligraphic master pieces by Asif Ghazali have been produced in just six-month time. A brilliant combination of mesmerising color compositions and remarkable artistic skills by Asif, who has been nurturing this passion deep down inside him all his life but couldn't find time to realise his talent. Immediately after getting retired from Pak Army, Asif Ghazali, a Lahori based in Karachi now, started to learn calligraphy back in 2009, his lifelong passion.
According to Asif, "It is my incessant pursuit and passion for calligraphic art along with my affinity with the quranic verse's which shape my painting today. Art is a form of expressions it provides the artist with a means to reflect his deep emotions to the world of art lovers. Being a veteran and an engineer, I have moved a long way forward to a direction which is very different.
With the growing age, I feel an increasing urge satisfaction while painting calligraphic verses. In my paintings, I have tried to use simple shapes and forms of calligraphy which are easily readable have been able to exhibit".
A large number of artists, art students and art lovers converged at this spell-binding Quranic calligraphy exhibition.
