It has been a while since I have sat down to blog and I have a long list of blogs waiting to go up!
We feel like alot of what this entire Self Love Experience is about, is the un-doing of negative thought patterns. So much of what makes this experience as special as it is, is that the women who come to us are ready to finally let go of some of these emotions and detrimental thoughts about themselves that they have had, for most, nearly all of their lives. To unbind themselves from past feelings and while they literally strip down, they are also spiritually shedding these compulsory thoughts.
This is a practice in learning to be kind to yourself. The art you leave with is meant to serve as a daily reminder of what you felt during your shoot. The power and confidence you had during your shoot lives on in heirloom art.
It is insane to be saying this, but as most of you already know 2019 is completely sold out! I am now actively booking clients for 2020, while I continue to train Randi to be able to take on her own clients towards the middle of next year! If you want to be sure to lock in a date with me (obvs Lindsay typing here lol!) make sure that you reach out asap to start the process so we can lock in a date for you!!!!
"I've spent a significant part of my adult life being cruel. To whom you may ask? Well to myself. Some people may think this is an exaggeration. But when we are truly honest with ourselves, I think there are more women than can relate to this than you' think .
We punish, degrade and deprive ourselves with this mean inner monologue. Until, of course, we get to where we want. Then we just replace the variable, and find new parts of our bodies to be the victim.
We give ourselves an overwhelming amount of tough love.
In October when Lindsay approach me to shoot with her, the negative sound bites started slipping in. I had just been through a miscarriage. I had been spending more time than I'd like to admit hating my body. Hating it for the way it changed, the weight it had gained, and the way it failed me.
I had been following Lindsay's career and I loved her aesthetic. I was a huge fan. I couldn't miss on the amazing opportunity ( Have you seen her work!? Can you blame me?) , but I didn't "feel" ready. I wasn't ready to see the woman I had been seeing in the mirror, in pictures. She still had a lot of work to do before anyone could see her in lingerie.
I Didn't have time to wallow in my insecurities. I decided to be brave. To go meet these women, whom I was naturally intimidated by at first.
All I can say is Wow. I thought I could write a novel about all the ways that working with Lindsay Made me feel.I spent a few days thinking about the valuable insight I could give to other women. yet I found it almost impossible to put into words. The only true way to understand it, is to see for yourself. Indulge in the "Self-love Experience" Treat yourself like gold for a change. Rewrite the narrative. Experience yourself through Lindsay's lens. Its not just clever photo shopping (Although she will make you work those angles until you get that perfect booty shot) It is you. Its the self that everyone else can see. The reason that when you criticize yourself, in front of your friends or husband, they call you crazy. The you without all the lens you've collected over the years. The you when the negative self talk melts away.
I Can not thank Lindsay & Randi enough for inspiring me to truly look at myself again. To appreciate the body I have & soften the way I speak to it.
Oh and that girl in the mirror with endless flaws? She didn't even show up." ~ Mrs. C.

Grocery Prices In UK Hitting 'Near Record Highs', Says Kantar
July 19, 2022 8:21 AM By Steve Wynne-Jones
Grocery prices in the UK 'continue to soar to near record-breaking highs', according to Kantar, which revealed that like-for-like grocery price inflation stood at 9.9% over the most recent four-week period.
In the 12 weeks to 10 July, UK supermarket sales grew by 0.1%, the first time the market has registered growth since April 2021.
Prices have risen by 1.6 percentage points since last month, Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar said, describing it as the "second highest level of grocery inflation that we've seen since we started tracking prices in this way in 2008 and we're likely to surpass the previous high come August.
"With grocery price inflation at almost 10%, people are now facing a £454 (€535) increase to their annual grocery bills."

Private-Label Sales Growth
Consumers are increasingly turning to own brand products as they seek to drive down the cost of their weekly shop – sales of private-label products rose by 4.1% in the 12-week period, with sales of branded items down by 2.4%.
"It's a complex picture and the grocers are busy negotiating with their suppliers to mitigate impact at the tills as far as possible," said McKevitt. "We've seen this play out in the headlines in recent weeks, with some well-known brands temporarily disappearing from supermarket shelves over pricing disputes."
Dynamic Discounters
In addition, shoppers are turning to the discounters in a bid to save money, with Aldi (+11.3% sales growth) and Lidl (+13.9% sales growth) significantly outperforming the rest of the market during the 12-week period.
Of the 'Big Four', the only retailer to see sales growth was market leader Tesco, which grew by 0.1% – Sainsbury's reported a 2.2% sales fall, Asda's sales were down 2.3%, and Morrisons reported a 6.7% sales drop.
"Over 67% of people in Britain shopped in either an Aldi or a Lidl in the past 12 weeks, with 1.4 million additional households visiting at least one of the discounters in the latest three months compared with last year," said McKevitt.
"Both retailers reached a new market share high over the past three months. Lidl now holds 7.0% of the market while Aldi climbed to a 9.1% share."

Sturgeon Bay Clippers' improvement keeping them in the bowling playoff race
Kathy Franke
The Sturgeon Bay Clippers may not have a chance of going to state, but that's not stopping sixth-year coach Tim Jutila from making a run at it.
"I'm hoping to secure second place and to have fun in the playoffs," he said. "I'd just like them to get there and have a numerical chance."
Dillon Kroll has all new teammates this year, bowling with Hailey Blish, Jager Brusky, Jason Claybaugh and Brayden LeMieux. Despite Claybaugh being sidelined with an unrelated injury, the team averages 118.4444, has a combined fill percentage of 37.6733 and has recorded a high game of 151, including four games in the 140s.
RELATED: Southern Door I thrives with new coach
They practice regularly, fine-tuning their games and working at picking up spares, especially 10-pins. Their main goal each session is to "try to get better" and Kroll is more than happy with his improvement over last year.
"I've been better than last year," he said with a smile. "I've been trying to aim at the middle (of the lane) to get more strikes and spares."
Even though the Baker format is new for all but Kroll, they all enjoy it and the unique challenges it presents.
"It shows how one bowler can influence others with their score," LeMieux said.
For Blish, it's being able to anchor the team. "It's fun," she said, beaming. "I love it."
As such a young team, Jutila's biggest challenge is coaching accuracy.
"It's one of those things," he said. "You either have it or you don't. I have to find ways to work around it."
His favorite teaching technique is to compare outside interests to the tempo and rhythm of bowling.
"The boys are into sports," Jutila said. "So I try to impress the importance of follow-through by comparing it to baseball and golf. You don't stop your swing once you hit the ball."
Being able to represent their school elicits smiles and is one of the best things about the high school bowling program alongside "showing what you can do" and "meeting a bunch of different people who have similar interests."
For Jutila, though, it's about coaching.
"When you give them some kind of clue and it works," he said, just a little emotional, "you can kind of see that twinkle in their eye."
Bowler of the Month
Congratulations to Adam Kring on winning Apple Valley Lanes' December Bowler of the Month with series of 756-755-737-704-704.

Former Venezuelan drug smuggler says God called him to rescue others
By Ava Thomas
Jorge Reina (right), a missionary from Venezuela, talks with Ahmad Faraj*, the first young man Reina felt God leading him to disciple after he moved to Senegal a year ago. After deciding to follow Jesus Christ, Ahmad's family wanted to kill him, and he narrowly escaped by sneaking out through a window. He now lives and serves alongside Jorge at a home for boys in Senegal. *Name changed
Photo © 2014 IMB / Lina White
Ahmad Faraj* was 16 and grounded, locked in his room. He wasn't surprised he was in trouble, but he was surprised at how much trouble he was in. He held his breath, pressed his ear to the door and listened to his parents talk punishment.
Taking the car keys away — that wasn't their plan. Neither was taking away the TV. "We have to kill him," he heard his mom say. "We can't have a Christian here."
The minute Ahmad walked back into his hometown and told people he'd decided to follow Jesus Christ, his entire village got together and beat him to a pulp. Then his parents took their wounded son home, locked him up and began to plan how to finish him off.
He kept his ear to the locked door late into the night, until the house had gone silent, then slipped out the window and ran back to the place where a door was always open for him — Jorge's house. It's a house full.
From suicidal to saved
Jorge Reina, a burly Venezuelan man, moved to Senegal a year ago to take in young boys who needed a place to go – boys like Ahmad. In the sandy West African country, it's normal for villagers to turn their children over to leaders of the local religion who promise to give them care and education.
More often than not, the kids end up begging on the street. Jorge can't handle that. So he's taken in as many as he can, with plans to take in more. And the ones who roam the street barefoot, begging with dirty bowls — he invites those in, feeds them breakfast and shows them what Christ's love looks like.
"Many of them have no love at home because their parents think that the more they mistreat them, the better men they will become." So when Jorge hugs them and hangs out with them, "it changes everything" he said.
Jorge knows. He himself — drug-addicted and desperate — walked off the streets once and into the arms of people who loved him like Christ. "At the age of 16, I started doing drugs — all kinds of drugs," he said. "Twenty years went by, and I went through some very difficult times."
He was living on the streets. Smuggling drugs. Dabbling in witchcraft. Engaging in sexual sin. "I wanted to die … I decided to hang myself. The belt that I hung myself with broke in half and I felt my feet hit the ground and I gasped for air," Jorge said. "I said to the Lord, 'If You exist, help me. If you really exist, help me.'"
The next day, God led him to the house of the local Baptist pastor, who led him to Jesus Christ.
"The Lord saved my soul, my life, and I accepted Jesus Christ, and I actually started serving Him," Jorge said. "I said, 'Come into my heart, be my Owner, be my Savior. I am yours. I have nothing to pay You with; I can only offer You my life and my hands and whatever you want.' And that day I started experiencing the power of God in my life."
And it wasn't long before God began to show Jorge that He wanted to redeem his past and allow Jorge to make good on his offer.
From bread maker to missionary
One day, Jorge heard a story about men "from all over Latin America" who were serving God in parts of Central Asia

where the Gospel meets with deadly persecution. Men with pasts like him. Men who smuggle Bibles.
"I said, 'Wow, if I spent so many years taking drugs from one place to another for Satan, taking them from one place to another and I never got caught, well, I don't know … perhaps I can [smuggle Bibles].' And that was the first time that I felt the desire to leave my country to do something for the Lord's ministry," Jorge said.
He began to ask questions about missions. He enlisted at Venezuelan Baptists' cross cultural missionary training center, where IMB missionaries Paul and Robin Tinley took Jorge under their wing and began to disciple him.
And then one day he met Jesús Guillén. The two bumped into each other at a conference in southern Venezuela, and "Pastor Guillén showed me a different spectrum, a different dimension of what missions in Africa were like," Jorge said.
And he asked Jorge his profession, something Jorge was embarrassed to answer in the midst of the doctors and lawyers present. "I only know how to make bread," Jorge told him. "That's what I do."
Pastor Guillén was elated. "Would you like to know more about Senegal? You could serve the Lord there," he told Jorge, "and we need someone over there [who] can make bread." There were mouths to feed — lots and lots of mouths.
Jorge went home. He prayed. And when Guillén called him to ask again, he said "yes. The next thing Jorge knew, he was packing his bags for Africa, headed to meet a team of other Latinos, a house full of boys — and one big commercial bread machine.
When Jorge got there, Ahmad "was the first person I felt in my heart I should disciple," he said. So he began to encourage the young man, "spending all day with him over here, over there, wherever I went … praying." And teaching him how to make bread.
The desire of Jorge's heart, he said, is "for people to learn to make bread and to satiate their hunger," but that isn't the reason he came. "When one of those brave men gets up and says, 'I am convinced that Jesus Christ is the way,' and accepts Him, that's a great joy. It's wonderful," Jorge said.
That's the whole reason he and those he works with came all the way from Latin America, leaving their families — in Jorge's case, a young daughter — behind.
"I didn't come to make bread," Jorge said. "I came to show [the boys] that a man who lives in darkness can only be brought to light by Jesus Christ. When those guys decide to move toward the light, I say, 'Thank you, Lord,' because that's what I came for."

This is a well planned and well organised book with up-to date references, and with excellent photos and graphic illustrations...it will certainly be a welcome addition to the libraries of academic institutes... -Rajat Mazumder, in JOURNAL OF SEDIMENTARY RESEARCH, APRIL 2006 "The editor and publisher should be commended for the excellent physical production of the book. The chapters are well illustrated and typographical errors are almost absent. All illustrations and photos (except for the out of focus SEM photos in chapter 8) are in black and white and are clear (three photomicrographs are in color), and the tables are easy to read. This book will serve researchers and graduate students well as a reference book on several diverse topics in sediment geochemistry."

In order for us to be fulfilled, we must live in harmony with that for which we are made. The Catholic Church teaches us that God freely created us out of love for eternal life in communion with God. In other words, we are made for Love, for God is Love, and, therefore, we can only live a full life if we live into this Love.
The story of the Garden of Eden depicts just such a time. As beings made by Love for Love, our first parents enjoyed an existence absent from suffering. They shared completely in the overflowing abundance of God's love for humanity and the world.
However, our first parents were also susceptible to the birth of a disordered understanding of self because beings made for love must also possess a free will. Without free will, love, which gives itself away freely, is simply not possible.
Consequently, the state of communion that our first parents enjoyed in the garden required their ongoing choice. They had to choose and say, "Yes!" to this communion out of their own love for God. Naturally, this meant that they could also say, "No!" It was just this possibility that the serpent in the story seized upon. Of course, we know all too well that the serpent convinced our first parents to disobey God.
Because of their "No!" to communion with God, communion was ruptured. The woman and man suddenly felt like they were separated from God, a consciousness that reflected a lack of right relationship with God. Far from a fuller enjoyment of life, they moved from a state of abundance to an existence where suffering became all too real. This deformed understanding of self, or separateness from God, continues to plague us all, influencing our own choices for communion.
Life also truly thrives when it is in balance. However, this balance is achieved and maintained only by means of any number of fragile tensions. When these tensions are broken or lost, balance is lost and life succumbs to any manner of disorder and death.
For example, consider that our planet orbits a star. Any variation in gravitational forces could change the shape of this orbit or affect the earth's distance from the sun. Either of these would have dire consequences for life on earth. What's more, we are told by scientists that cosmic rays constantly bombard the earth from beyond our solar system. Again, these rays would spell the end of life on the planet. We are spared from this outcome only by the solar winds of the sun, which shield our solar system from these rays like the protective arms of a mother. At the same time, though, these same solar winds can kill us, too. Fortunately, our atmosphere protects us from these winds.
There are also innumerable natural processes, each with its own function in maintaining balance in nature. However, storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and the like can visit untold suffering on human beings. So while God's respect for human freedom can provide a reason for why God permits some suffering, what can explain God designing such a world?
St. Paul refers to Divine Love as "agape." "Agape" is a proactive searching out for opportunities to love rather than a mere passive reacting to particular situations with love. Jesus Christ makes it even clearer for us. Throughout the Gospels, we find that whenever someone asks Jesus what love is, they immediately get a task.
What is love? Feed the hungry; clothe the naked; visit the prisoner. What is love? Forgive your brother seven times seventy times. What is love? Go and sell all that you have and come follow me. What is love? Pray for your enemies. What is love? Lay down your life for your friend.
In other words, love requires us to act for "agape" is pure action. Love also requires us to deny our very self. Love is other-centered by its very nature. Love is self-giving and self-sacrificing. And God has loved us first.
From the loving act of creation to the Incarnation to Pentecost, God is revealed as a Love that seeks expression in the good of the other. And God, fully in the Three Persons of the Trinity, faithfully continues to love us first through a continual self-emptying.
Now we too are invited to do the same: to imitate God's self-giving love. It is a call that is renewed each time we face natural disasters. The suffering of others invites us to solidarity, which gives birth to our own "kenosis." Our own suffering also invites us to "kenosis" as we can imitate Christ in "offering up" our suffering for the redemption of others.

Environmental Monitor | What is Relative Humidity? What is Relative Humidity?
Without humidity, there would be no clouds, no precipitation, and no fog. Humidity is simply water vapor in the air, which is needed to form rain. Additionally, water vapor holds heat in the air. It is a greenhouse gas, which means it is a can absorbs heat and warms the atmosphere. This is why humid air feels warmer.
Relative humidity is reported as a percentage of the total amount of moisture that could be held in the air. For instance, if the air is only half saturated with water vapor, the relative humidity will be reported at 50%. If the air holds all the water vapor it can hold, it is 100% saturated.
A capacitance-type sensor is one way to measure relative humidity. Changes in relative humidity cause the shape of the sensor to change. When the sensor changes shape, it's capacitance, or ability to store an electrical charge, changes in a detectable and repeatable fashion.


There is an old saying that there is a time and place for everything.
This may be the time for signs, but certainly not the place.
Highland Park, between Stevens, Parker, Wilder and B Streets, was renamed the William T. Callery Park on May 22, 1966 to honor my brother Bill who was killed in the line of duty in Vietnam on Feb. 22, 1966.
The City of Lowell, with the assistance from the Lowell Post 87 VFW, organized a dedication ceremony with then Gov. John Volpe as the guest speaker and it was televised on Boston stations.
While this dedication could not bring their son back I know personally how proud my parents were when this occurred and how much this contributed to how they accepted Bill's fate.
Once again the signs in question here are I am sure for worthy causes, but as I mentioned above this is not the place.
Bill's family and friends consider this place sacred and second only to his actual and final resting place in St. Patrick's Cemetery.

Rod Carew
I bought a St. Paul Pioneer Press on Friday and was disappointed to learn that we missed seeing Hall of Famer Rod Carew, who had greeted fans during Thursday's home opener. I had considered showing up right when the gates opened at Target Field on Thursday, but given how cold it was, I wasn't sure my son and I were ready for an additional hour outdoors. It was that cold.
-It was cold all week, but Friday, despite the sunny conditions, was the coldest of them all. It was so cold that I now have a better sense of what Minnesotans put up with every winter. The temperature was around 20 degrees for most of the day, which wouldn't have been so bad if not for the wind. The wind and the wind chill temperature, which was around five degrees, was a killer. Even wearing layered clothes, the wind cuts right through those layers and makes you want to cover up from head to toe. And when it's that cold, especially when you're riding the bus or walking, it really limits what you can do. Even waiting a few minutes for the bus was hard.
-We stayed in the Merriam Park area of St. Paul, which is known for its older homes in a variety of architectural styles. It's a nice neighborhood, and I would come here again, but nothing seemed as close as I thought it would be. Everything seemed too far to walk to and yet too close for a ride-hailing service, so we took a lot of short trips on the bus. One question: Unless everyone is buying food at Target, where are the grocery stores in this city? Other than a convenience store, we found one: Whole Foods. And it wasn't that close.

The day got off to a slow start.
But things picked up at Twin City Model Railroad Museum. The museum has been around for 30-plus years, a volunteer told me, but only recently moved to St. Paul.

Hi, I'm Rolf Boone, Twins fan.
I became a fan of the Minnesota Twins after a friendly wager in the early 1980s. I survived Ron Davis, the meltdown in Cleveland, Phil Bradley at the Kingdome and then marveled at a rising generation of stars and two World Series wins in 1987 and 1991. Brad Radke made the 1990s bearable, while Kirby Puckett's eye injury, exit from the game and eventual death made it almost too much to bear. The new century ushered in more talent — Joe Mauer, Johan Santana, Joe Nathan, Torii Hunter, Justin Morneau — and consecutive seasons of playoff baseball, followed by consecutive seasons of losing baseball. A winning season returned in 2015. So here we are. Go Twins.

Charles Dickens by George Orwell. Search eText, Read Online, Study, Discuss.
Read George Orwell's commentary on the life and work of the great Victorian Author, Charles Dickens.
Since Pip is a child, Joe has been ¡°a mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easygoing, foolish, dear fellow¡± to him for a long time, and Joe is also the light and warmness in his dark and cold world. It seems Pip is very content with his status quo for he gets enough recognition from whom he loves and cares about. However, when he begins to get in touch with two totally unfamiliar worlds with his own£one of which is represented by Miss Havisham and Estella, symbolizing money and power, and the other is represented by Mr. Herbert Pocket, standing for knowledge and dignity£ namely, he begins to frequently get involved in the complex relationships with strangers, his little world of peace is broken. While standing in front of those strangers, with his intimate friend Joe¡¯s lack of sociability when speaking to them, Pip feels ashamed and embarrassed, though he loves Joe. It is because of the frequent and sudden changes in relationships between people, which symbolize a change in the society, that he is lost and falls into fear and confusion. Nevertheless, that he feels uncertain and instable is in the line with the psychological features of the Victorian period, which is induced by the change of society. His dissatisfaction with status quo arouses his desire for a new recognition and ambition for happiness in a strange world. He denies his present self and even his friend, Joe, because he wants to free himself from the shadow of the past and be able to freely embrace the great expectations in his imagination. Therefore, the spirit of the Victorian period£striving for recognition£is gradually emerging before us, with Pip¡¯s adventures and changes.
According to the whole story, Pip is not the only person striving for recognition in the novel, but also the other characters around him in diverse ways. Though Miss Havisham is a misanthropist, she is keen on recognition from Estella, who is becoming colder and colder, while the proud and ruthless Estella wants to get a new position by marriage to Drummle in order to escape from the world built by Miss Havisham. Joe tries to be accepted by the changed Pip. Herbert Pocket pursues his happiness in the business world, which is changed every day. All of the characters in this novel divert themselves to different ways. But one thing is similar that they are striving for recognition£a kind of new position for themselves£in the changing society.
However, the last phase of transition in Pip¡¯s life should be paid attention to. Why does Pip finally head to overseas to realize his dream as a real gentleman after so many adventures? Because in the last stage he does not live for others, but for himself, that is to say, he strives for recognition of himself so that he can come to be a changed person he longs to be and find a proper position in the new world.
Generally speaking, Great Expectations is profoundly concerned with the spirit of striving for recognition in the Victorian period. It seems that Charles Dickens wants to conduct people rightly, who are lost in this period through the story of Pip. However, depending on the ending of the novel, it can be easily summed up that a person should not live as a social animal, who blindly wants to get recognition by other, but lives as an independent person, who lives for himself, finding a proper position in the world, and at last can be recognized by both society and the individuals.
Though it's long in length, Geroge Orwell's commentary is interesting. He has a sharp and concrete view upon the works of Dickens. He seems to hold a knife and cut sharply open the nut of "Dickens" ---- you may cry to yourself,'Oh, what a surprising side of Dickens!' It's what I feel now. Really good essay.
Is this really an essay?
I'm pretty sure this is an essay rather than a book Chris, did you just include it as a book because it would not fit in the 'text' field in mysql and didn't want to switch to 'longtext'?

Labour demands bus cuts are eased to boost Suffolk rural transport
PUBLISHED: 17:46 22 August 2018

Labour transport spokesman Jack Owen. Picture: SUFFOLK LABOUR GROUP
Labour councillors in Suffolk have demanded an end to cuts to rural transport after revealing figures showing that bus subsidies have more than halved in the last decade.
Cabinet member Mary Evans. Picture: GREGG BROWN
Labour transport spokesman Jack Owen said figures obtained by his group showed that Conservative-administrations had cut the budget for bus subsidy from £4.31 million in 2008/09 to £1.75 million in 2018/19, a reduction of 59%.
He said these cuts were causing the "slow death" of bus services in the county with rural areas particularly affected.
Mr Owen said: "These numbers show the brutal extent of Tory cuts to public transport in Suffolk. The sad reality is that these cuts will fall hardest on the poorest families in rural areas where unaffordable and unreliable public transport links make it hard to find and hold onto full-time employment.
"It also limits educational opportunities for young people and further isolates our elderly population. The human, social and economic cost of these cuts is immense."
Mr Owen said the reductions in subsidy meant fares were being forced up as services themselves were being cut back – and he urged the Conservative administration to look at what had happened in other areas.
He said: "Other councils have already recognised this and have put an end to their bus subsidy cuts. It's time that Suffolk County Council do the same, protect our bus services, make them sustainable for the future and putting our residents first."
The Labour group has launched a petition calling for an end to transport cuts which can be found at: https://www.change.org/p/suffolk-county-council-end-the-cuts-to-bus-subsidies
Mary Evans, Suffolk County Council Cabinet Member for Transport, said: "The county council works extremely hard to ensure bus routes can be self-sustaining. We maintain good relationships with transport providers in the county so that we can have a good understanding of residents transport needs.
"We support the Dial-a-Ride service which is popular and widely used by residents, especially those in more rural villages, to book on demand journeys.
"We also recently launched the new Haverhill to West Suffolk Hospital bus service. This can be used by employees of the hospital and residents alike."

Dallas Cowboys 3 1/2 Point Favourites To Win on the Road
Published on December 4th, 2014 6:40 pm EST
Thursday night's game between the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears has big implications for both teams.
The Cowboys are currently second in the NFC East, one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles. By falling to 8-5, the Cowboys would likely have to settle for a wild card spot, which would certainly be easier said than done, as teams like the Lions, Seahawks and Chargers are all vying for the same spots. In order to continue their positive momentum, the Cowboys desperately need a win on Thursday night.
The Chicago Bears, on the other hand, are fighting for their very survival. Currently sitting at 5-7, the Bears desperately need to put together some sort of a run in order to salvage their season. Four straight wins is what it would take for the Bears to even have a shot at the post-season - a loss tonight would all but doom them. Four straight wins for the Bears seems unlikely, however, especially given their struggles so far this year.
The Cowboys are 3 1/2 point favourites on the road this evening:
Chicago Bears, +3 1/2, 1.91
Dallas Cowboys, -3 1/2, 1.91
Here are the straight up odds:
Dallas Cowboys, 1.50
Chicago Bears, 2.70
Finally, the total points:
Over 50.5 Points, 1.80
Under 50.5 Points, 1.95
Both teams have had their issues this year but the Bears have been particularly bad. Despite having a number of potent offensive weapons (Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, etc), the Bears have not been able to get things going. In addition, their traditionally ferocious defense has played poorly.
As mentioned, both teams desperately need wins tonight - who will step up and who will take a step back?

Q: What is the right construct for this expression?
Is there anything from whose perspective, this thing can be good.

I would like to know if this expression sounds right to natives? I think grammatically it is right, but it seems a little unnatural.
What would be the right construct for this expression?

A: Or, to keep more inline with the original sentence, you could say:

Is there any perspective from which this could be considered a good thing?

This makes it a little more "chatty", which is good, especially if you're using the word thing.

A: It certainly does not sound natural.  Grammatically, the comma needs to be deleted, and a question mark must replace the period.
A simpler, more natural rephrase would be Is there any perspective from which this could be considered beneficial/positive?

COVID-19 vaccines: Rural county is 'working to do the best with what we've got'
Gregory J. Holman
The director of Christian County's health department hasn't had much of a day off since she joined county government in May, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was ramping up in southern Missouri.
Dr. Karen Peak (her doctorate is in the field of nursing practice) had a neck surgery back in December; she worked the day of the surgery, she said. A salaried official, Peak has put in about 100 extra hours each month during the course of the pandemic.
Like everyone else, she said, she and her crew — just two nursing staff, plus 20 contact tracers paid for with "various" county funds, supplemented with help provided by the state — are tired. Peak's counterparts at rural health departments up and down the Show-Me State tell her they're bone-tired, too. Her board members, Peak said, recently told her that "once this is over," she deserves to take some time off.
But the pandemic is far from over, as new, highly-transmissible variants of the COVID-19 virus have mutated in places like the U.K., South Africa and Brazil and are now showing up in the U.S. As Science magazine reported this week, Moderna and other companies are now working to "tweak" already-released vaccines so they can be effective against new mutations. Some researchers fear that governments worldwide need to administer the vaccines already developed as quickly as possible to fend off more dangerous mutations of the virus.
Peak said that in terms of those dilemmas, "time will tell." She was busy with the job in front of her on Thursday, saying she was happy to be at work on the front lines of rural public health, even if she wore a neck brace for most of the day.
At First Baptist Church in Ozark, Peak and a crew of two dozen volunteers were busy at midday, vaccinating dozens of residents of the county of 89,000 people. The folks now eligible for vaccination were dubbed Phase 1b-1 and 1b-2 recipients — the elderly and those with underlying conditions like diabetes — and, Peak said, they are turning out in droves, at least for a county her size. By the end of this week, Peak expects some 1,100 residents of Christian County will be vaccinated. The health department began vaccinating last week.
Missouri's COVID-19 vaccine rollout efforts — ranked at the bottom among the 50 states in national media reports from last weekend — have attracted criticism from some quarters. Regardless, Peak believes local vaccination efforts in the Springfield-Branson corridor, at the geographic center of which is Christian County, are already bearing fruit.
She believes that two factors — locals getting vaccines, along with many locals simply recovering from being infected — might indicate the beginnings of herd immunity in the local population and thus could be behind declines in levels of infection that she's seeing in her county data over the past three weeks.
"We went from 100 cases a day, now it's about 47 a day," Peak said.
In the meantime, she acknowledged that on a macro level, COVID-19 vaccination hasn't been running as smoothly as the patient check-in stations that her team set up at the front of the church hall on Thursday morning.
"The system is broken, there's no doubt about it," Peak told the News-Leader at midday. "But we're working to do the best with what we've got."
Peak doesn't blame Missouri government officials for a vaccine rollout that's happening in fits and starts; she thinks most of the issues have been at the federal level. But, she said, there's a "positive" story unfolding right now as the health care system's front lines are playing with the cards they've been dealt.
Often, she said, she learns late on a Sunday night that her department will be receiving a supply of the fragile vaccines, which must be carefully refrigerated and handled to remain effective. Once she knows vaccines are coming, she faces a logistical scramble to set up vaccination clinic events like the one hosted at the church on Thursday: It's often unclear how many doses there will be to administer.
Meanwhile, sometimes she gets in Moderna vaccine; sometimes the one from Pfizer. That complicates planning because the two-stage COVID vaccines have different CDC-recommended time frames in which patients are supposed to get the second dose: 21 days after the first dose for Pfizer; 28 days for Moderna.
To efficiently get shots into arms, Peak has amassed a small volunteer army of a few hundred nurses, nursing students, medical assistants, doctors and other health care workers. They're all working for free, sourced from local hospitals and clinics as well as nursing schools linked to College of the Ozarks, Southwest Baptist University, Ozarks Technical Community College and Missouri State University.
Last week, she said, Christian County was supposed to receive vials containing 375 doses, but 444 people were vaccinated. Sometimes, she said, the vials hold more doses than listed, and they take advantage of the extra vaccine. In those cases, or when someone doesn't show up for an appointment, the department starts calling people who are eligible to see if they want to come get their shots.
Christian County folks are "very grateful" for the opportunity and the health department is not hearing anti-vaccine pushback, Peak and two of her volunteers told the News-Leader on Thursday.
"This vaccine is a beacon of hope for a lot of people," said Jessie Daniels, a nurse with CoxHealth who was volunteering in the room where Christian County patients were getting their shots — each one taking "about five seconds" — before being ushered to an after-care area to rest a little while before going home.
"These people, maybe they haven't been able to leave their house, they haven't been able to see their family," Daniels said. "So yeah, they're stuck inside, they're lonely, they're scared. They're scared for their health, for the health of their family. And so just giving them a small amount of hope is really rewarding."
Jack Mallot, 73, a former Strafford resident who now lives in Nixa, was vaccinated with his wife on Thursday. He was eager to get his Pfizer-BioNTech shot, said the wait was only a few minutes and he "didn't feel a thing" when a nurse poked him with a needle.
He'd been calling around trying to get in line for a dose for some time, Mallot said, starting with CoxHealth and Mercy Springfield and working his way through to the Christian County Health Department.
"I think they need to work on Missouri," Mallot said. "Seems like we're about the last one to get anything."
Mallot said his son in Arizona recovered from COVID-19 and is doing OK, while another son — a health care worker with an underlying health condition — is supposed to be vaccinated tomorrow.
"I think everybody should do their part to combat this disease and to wear your mask and roll your sleeves up," Mallot said.
Rosalyn Rayfield, 78, of Ozark, also said she'd been eagerly trying to get vaccinated for "several weeks."
She's been staying home a lot, washing her hands, wearing her mask and said no close family members have yet been infected by COVID-19.
"This is the first time I've got out where there's been so many," she said, gesturing to the socially-distanced crowd at the Baptist church who were relaxing after getting their shots.
Rayfield said she thinks vaccine rollout has been "a little slow."
"But I think eventually it will pick up," she said.
Peak, the health department director, urged Christian County residents who may be eligible for vaccination at this time to visit ChristianCountyHealth.com, where they can sign up for the waiting list.
Qualified health care workers living anywhere in the region can sign up for the opportunity to volunteer on the same website, she said.

Any fine wine should be so lucky to be served alongside this sandwich.
Looking for a wine bar in NYC, are you? Pop into Corkbuzz at Chelsea Market for a glass of something spectacular and a meticulously curated selection of cheese, charcuterie and other friendly small bites. Consulting chef Missy Robbins stacks meaty Italian cotechino (a type of salami) on a crusty baguette with herbed salsa verde and bold garlic aioli that any fine wine should be so lucky to be served alongside.
Find cotechino at an Italian grocery with a good salumi selection. Robbins recommends Cotechino Levoni, which is available online.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Submerge the eggs and bring to a light simmer for 6 minutes.
Strain eggs and chill in ice water. Remove the yolks; they should be set on the outside but still slightly runny in the center.
Finely chop the yolks and transfer to a bowl with the herbs, shallot, garlic, olive oil, and mustard. Stir to combine.
When ready to serve, season the mixture with red wine vinegar and salt, to taste.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade, blend the egg yolks, garlic and roasted garlic until very smooth.
Slowly stream in the canola oil to emulsify into a thick puree. Add lemon zest and salt to taste, being sure not to overmix. Keep chilled.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
Add the sausage slices in a single layer and sear on both sides until browned.
Slice baguettes in half lengthwise and toast until just crispy on the outside.
For each sandwich, spread aioli on the bottom half of the baguette and top it with sausage. Spread salsa verde on the top half of the baguette and on the sausage, and drizzle balsalmic vinegar over the top. Close each sandwich and serve hot.

Travelers Insurance Company Ltd v XYZ
Travelers Insurance Company Ltd v XYZ's Tags
In the Supreme Court, Travelers Insurance has been successful in appealing judgments of the lower courts on the application of non-party costs. In Travelers Insurance Company Ltd v XYZ [2019] UKSC 48, the Supreme Court describes and limits the extent that insurers can be held liable for such costs. Read on to find out how the lower courts' decision was overturned on section 51 non-party costs orders in insurance litigation. At the end of the article, we provide a helpful summary of the relevant issues.
Third party costs orders – recent developments
A number of cases are before the courts on the exposure of third parties to pay costs. Most notably, the Supreme Court unanimously allowed the appeal of insurers in Travelers Insurance Company Ltd v XYZ [2019] UKSC 48.
The case attracted considerable attention, and concern in the insurance community due to the heavy burden imposed by the lower courts. It has significant implications for GLOs where some claimants are insured whereas others are not.
We discuss this decision below, and other cases where these issues are being addressed.
Background to the XYZ case
This case arose from the "PIP" breast implant group litigation. This was not a case where the insurance was not sufficient to cover the full extent of claims. It was a case where claimants had incurred costs pursuing claims which were wholly uninsured. The claimants sought to recover their costs from insurers under section 51 of the Senior Courts Act 1981, which gives the court a broad discretion to award costs against non-parties.
More than 1,000 women were involved. They sued a number of clinics and entities which had implanted or supplied the implants. A Group Litigation Order was made in 2012, providing for sharing of common costs equally between the Claimants, on a several and not joint basis.
One of the Defendants was Transform Medical Group (CS) Ltd, against whom 623 claims were made.
Transform had product liability insurance with Travelers "bodily injury" occurring between 31 March 2007 and 30 March 2011. Of the 623 Claimants pursuing Transform, 197 fell within the terms of the Travelers policy. 194 were considered the "worried well", not alleging bodily injury (usually following rupture of the implant) although they were at risk of injury in future. The remaining 232 suffered bodily injury, but outside of the period of insurance.
Therefore, of the claims against Transform, 426 were uninsured. These Claimants were not aware of their status until it was voluntarily disclosed by Transform in June 2014. By June 2015, Transform had entered into Administration.
Travelers and Transform had jointly instructed solicitors to defend the claims. The claims against the 194 insured Claimants were settled in August 2015, and Travelers paid their damages and costs. Travelers had participated in defending the uninsured claims to a degree, in terms of whether offers/admissions should be made, but after the insured claims were settled, their obligation to fund Transform's defence costs ceased.
The uninsured Claimants obtained default judgment against Transform in March 2016, and subsequently sought a non-party costs order against Travelers, pursuant to section 51.
First Instance and Court of Appeal
At first instance, Thirlwall LJ granted the application for broadly the following reasons:
(i) the uninsured claims were separate and distinct from the insured claims, and Travelers had "no business" involving itself in the uninsured claims;
(ii) earlier disclosure of fact that the claims were uninsured would have avoided costs being incurred, as the uninsured claims would not have been pursued;
(iii) there was an asymmetry, or lack of reciprocity, in costs risk between the uninsured Claimants (who would have no recourse to recover costs aside from under section 51, even if successful) and Travelers (who could pursue costs from the uninsured Claimants for their share of that liability). Further, the involvement of the uninsured Claimants effectively 'diluted' and reduced the share of common costs that would be paid by each insured Claimant, reducing Travelers' costs outlay; and finally
(iv) Travelers had participated in the conduct of the uninsured claims by making/declining consent on offers and admissions.
The Court of Appeal, whilst upholding the decision, did not entirely agree with the reasoning. The question was one of "exceptionality and justice". The Court of Appeal agreed there was a lack of reciprocity and that this made the case exceptional. The Court also agreed that the delay in disclosure of the lack of cover led the uninsured Claimants to incur avoidable costs.
The decision was overturned by the Supreme Court on 30 October 2019.
Decision of the Supreme Court
Lord Briggs gave the leading judgment. He took the opportunity to consider the case law concerning section 51 Senior Courts Act 1981, drawing it together into a number guidelines:
(i) Whether the non-party has become the "real Defendant" or has "intermeddled" unjustifiably, is fundamental to the exercise of section 51 discretion. The conduct of the non-party is what matters, rather than the rarity of the case.
(ii) The "real Defendant" test will usually be appropriate where some part of the claim itself falls within the scope of insurance, but subject to limits of cover.
(iii) The principles set out in TGA Chapman v Ltd v Christopher are of assistance in deciding the "real Defendant" test, but not whether the non-party has unjustifiably intermeddled in an uninsured claim. This is the relevant question in this case.
(iv) Where there is some connection between insured and uninsured claims, the legitimate interests of the insurer will justify some decision making in the uninsured claims. Insurer involvement often arises, as here, from a contractual obligation. Here, there was a very close connection between the two sets of Claimants, with common issues, and Travelers' involvement was limited.
(v) Causation, as between the non-party's conduct and the costs incurred, remains an important element to a potential claim. If the costs would have been incurred in any event, it is unlikely section 51 discretion will be granted.
(vi) Non-disclosure (or as was the care here, late disclosure) of policy terms is unlikely to amount to relevant conduct, as the law permits such non-disclosure. In this case, the Claimants had, unsuccessfully, made an application for disclosure in 2013.
(vii) Asymmetry or lack of reciprocity in costs is unlikely, on its own, to be a reason to make a non-party order. Lord Briggs noted that asymmetry in costs risk is not, generally, uncommon (e.g. legally aided claimants, QOCS cases).
Applying these guidelines, Travelers' handling of the matter was vindicated and they were not liable for the costs of the uninsured Claimants.
This case was unusual, as it concerned uninsured Claimants, as opposed to the more common situation where limit of cover excludes the insurer's contractual liability for Claimant costs. The court recognised that greater certainty was needed to identify when insurers were at risk of a non-party costs order.
Rather than a vague test of "exceptionality", insurers would be at risk of a non-party costs order where the insurer had become, for all intents and purposes, the "real Defendant". The real Defendant test is mostly applicable where the claim falls within the scope of, but not limits, of insurance.
"Intermeddling" cases are likely to be rare. This may apply for uninsured claims where insurers direct the litigation. The starting point is that non-parties usually have no legitimate interest in the litigation of others. Each case must be judged on its merits. Not all involvement would be unjustifiable.
The case includes one of the final judgments in the hugely distinguished career of Lord Sumption, whose incisive commentary has featured in a number of insurance cases.
Similar issues arise in the long running case against a law firm: Various Claimants v Giambrone [2019] which is currently pending an appeal. It remains to be seen whether the appeal will be pursued in light of the guidance from the Supreme Court in XYZ.
In yet another case, Burnden Holdings (UK) v Fielding [2019] the High Court recently made a non-party costs order under section 51 against a firm which had unsuccessfully funded litigation. A partner of the firm was acting as liquidator.
The Supreme Court in XYZ made clear that the lower courts had extended the application of section 51 beyond permissible limits. However, section 51 remains very much part of the broader landscape. Insurers, and others involved in litigation in various capacities, should remain vigilant against exposures, which can prove significant.
