Until recently only two indicators were used to evaluate malaria prevention with insecticide-treated nets (ITN): “proportion of households with any ITN” and “proportion of the population using an ITN last night”. This study explores the potential of the expanded set of indicators recommended by the Roll Back Malaria Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group (MERG) for comprehensive analysis of universal coverage with ITN by applying them to the Nigeria 2010 Malaria Indicator Survey data.
The two additional indicators of “proportion of households with at least one ITN for every two people” and “proportion of population with access to an ITN within the household” were calculated as recommended by MERG. Based on the estimates for each of the four ITN indicators three gaps were calculated: i) households with no ITN, ii) households with any but not enough ITN, iii) population with access to ITN not using it. In addition, coverage with at least one ITN at community level was explored by applying Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) decision rules to the cluster level of the data. All outcomes were analysed by household background characteristics and whether an ITN campaign had recently been done.
While the proportion of households with any ITN was only 42% overall, it was 75% in areas with a recent mass campaign and in these areas 66% of communities had coverage of 80% or better. However, the campaigns left a considerable intra-household ownership gap with 66% of households with any ITN not having enough for every family member. In contrast, the analysis comparing actual against potential use showed that ITN utilization was good overall with only 19% of people with access not using the ITN, but with a significant difference between the North, where use was excellent (use gap 11%), and the South (use gap 36%) indicating the need for enhanced behaviour change communication.
The expanded ITN indicators to assess universal coverage provide strong tools for a comprehensive system effectiveness analysis that produces clear, actionable evidence of progress as well as the need for specific additional interventions clearly differentiating between gaps in ownership and use.

This study demonstrates that many people who live in structurally weak regions with a high proportion of right-wing populist voters feel like they have been abandoned by politics. The 500 door-to-door interviews that were conducted for the study highlight the challenges that the respondents face in their everyday lives and demonstrate that current socio-political conditions – and not factors such as xenophobia – are often at the root of their anger and concerns about the future. This study uses the authentic views of the interviewees to decode the ways in which they think. The aim is to enable the views of this section of the population to be employed in the development of recommendations for action that would help regain their trust. The study the first of its kind to have been undertaken on the elections that took place in 2017 in Germany and France.
There is a considerable discrepancy between the issues that people view as the ‘biggest problems’ facing their country (which are immigration and the economy) and the challenges that they face in their everyday lives (precarious working conditions, worries about money and declining social infrastructure). Media and politics at the national level are criticised for not having properly adopted this ‘citizens’ agenda’. This problem also results in a sense of unfairness and disadvantage. As such, when people in these regions devalue others, especially migrants, they do so as a reaction to their own experiences of devaluation (this follows the ‘logic of comparative devaluation’). Importantly, the interviews demonstrated no intrinsic patterns of xenophobia.
The central narratives employed by the populists are far less prevalent in their strongholds than is generally assumed. When people are asked to describe political contexts in their own words, issues such as Islamisation, Euroscepticism, sweeping criticism of the media and the emphasis on national identity hardly ever crop up. Instead, more often than not the European Union, for example, tends to be viewed as part of the solution, not the problem.
Nationalist clamouring or demands that include a ‘Germany first!’ approach, are ultimately based on the view that politics sets the wrong priorities and focuses on issues that do not reflect the realities of people’s everyday lives. However, the interviewees did not necessarily view measures aimed at tackling the refugee crisis, or foreign policy commitments, as fundamentally wrong. Nevertheless, the interviewees often believed that a focus on immigration and foreign policy tended to result in less investment and fewer policy measures at the local level that would help tackle the tangible challenges that these people face in their everyday lives. This includes increased economic pressure faced by people on low incomes and the gaps in public services. Finally, many interviewees believe that politics has withdrawn from certain social and geographical areas. Importantly, this feeling has led to a strong sense of abandonment.
and confidence and assertiveness in the face of right-wing populist narratives.
A film team (snice movie production) has accompanied the study process and created the short film “Les Oubliés – The politically abandoned”. The movie was supported by Alfred Herrhausen Society. English and French subtitles available via the small wheel at the bottom right.
Das Progressive Zentrum and its French partner Liegey Muller Pons conducted 500 door-to-door interviews in structurally weaker regions of Germany and France that are also characterised by a high proportion of right-wing populist voters.
In line with ‚cultural intelligence‘, the study is aimed at strengthening mutual understanding between Germany and France through social narratives as part of a pilot project. The interviews were conducted with people who are often spoken about but whose voice is rarely heard in public debates. They took place in three regions in eastern and western Germany and in northern and southern France. The respondents were asked general questions about their situation, their living and social environment and their country. This included questions such as ‘What is going well/badly in the area in which you live?’ and ‘What would you change if you went into politics?’.
This open approach enabled a discourse analysis to be undertaken of the information gathered during the interviews with the aim of identifying the ways in which people genuinely think about their own lives and their country. The results contribute to the debate about the response to the shift to the right and offer a qualitative supplement to the representative studies that have been published elsewhere in this field.

The Genesis X1-A Swiss automatic limited edition watch by LIV became the most-funded watch in crowdfunding history.
Smartwatches might be outselling Swiss watches, but the classic timepieces are still relevant. Late last week, the Genesis X1-A Swiss automatic limited edition watch by LIV became the most-funded watch in crowdfunding history.
A month-long Kickstarter campaign ended Friday afternoon with $1,119,029 raised by 2,169 backers. But the $40,000 project, according to Forbes, topped that goal in just 34 minutes—a record for a non-smartwatch.
Pebble made history in 2012 with an uber successful Kickstarter campaign for its e-paper watch. When the company last year introduced its Pebble Time wearable, it quickly racked up more than $17 million from 67,000-plus backers, beating out the high-tech Coolest Cooler to become Kickstarter's highest-funded project of all time.
Assembled in Switzerland, the LIV watch is water resistant up to 100 meters, and features stainless steel accents, a scratch-resistant Sapphire crystal front and back, and limited-edition numbering.
Kickstarter backers were given the choice of orange, gray, white, blue, green, yellow, or steel-and-white coloring, with a silicone, leather, nato, suede, or canvas-style strap.
The wildly successful campaign, meanwhile, includes all stretch goals, like an extra strap, multi-watch case, metal bracelet strap, and watch winder.
Products are expected to begin shipping in May.

A boiler doesn't cease working if it's not being used regularly. A pipe is not going to all of a sudden burst open during work hours. Generally, whenever something fails with the plumbing, it will likely be beyond normal business hours. This means it might not be as simple for a property owner to be able to handle the issue as numerous plumbing technicians will not work in the center of the night or even on the weekends. Anytime someone must have Boiler Repair, leak repair, or aid in yet another domestic plumbing urgent situation, they're going to wish to contact an emergency plumber.
An emergency plumber is actually a plumbing professional that's ready to work beyond normal business hours. They are the professionals a person may call in case their own pipe bursts in the weekend or maybe if it's at the beginning of the early morning and they cannot get the boiler to work effectively. No matter precisely what the issue is, an emergency plumbing professional has the equipment and the ability to have every little thing serviced as fast as possible. The homeowners will be able to get in touch with them as soon as something happens so that they do not have to be worried about going without water since they need to shut off the primary water supply or even not having hot water because they are not able to get their boiler working properly.
If perhaps you have a domestic plumbing concern outside of typical business hours, you can still acquire the assistance you will need to have. Get in touch with one of the drain cleaning service right now in order to discover far more concerning precisely what they could do and when they're available to assist you. Along with the best assistance, your plumbing related issues might be fixed quickly and you will not likely have to be concerned about them any further. Speak to a plumber right now to obtain the help you will have to have swiftly.

Making sure your cat is healthy is not too difficult a task, just as long as you feed her properly and make sure she has access to plenty of fresh water.
Purchasing high-quality food for your cat is recommended. A trip to the vet can also help you discover what is the best diet for your cat. There are different life stages for your cat. Her diet should always be balanced for the stages she will go through.
Keeping a bowl of fresh water available for your cat at all times is a very important thing to keep in mind. There are many varieties of bowls to choose from. Anywhere from a basic non-tip bowl to a water fountain style waterer. And they all fit into any budget. Wash and refill your cat’s water bowls daily.
Feeders are no different. You can purchase any kind of feeding bowl from a portion control feeder to an automatic feeder, which are all great for when you must take small trips away from your beloved friend. Again, all feeder bowls are within every budget range.
Just as important as food & water is for your cat, exercise is also very important.
Playtime plays a huge part in keeping your cat fit. One of the great things about having a cat are the many ways to play with and exercise your cat, all the while forming a great bond with your friend.
Keep in mind that you should try to spend 10-20 minute increments throughout each day engaging your cat in some form of activity and play. Younger cats of course will be more willing to initiate play, as the older settled cats will play when it best suits them. But all in all, engage with your cat and play with her daily to ensure she gets much needed exercise.
Although it may not seem like it at times, your cat does need you.
All cats need a litter box. The best kind of litter to purchase should be unscented kitty litter. Cats have very keen smell sense. Anything that is too perfumed will be off-putting to your cat.
Also, cats are very clean creatures. She will not use a litter box that is smelly or messy. Solid wastes should always be scooped out at least once a day. Clumping litter can eliminate the need for you to dump out the litter to fully wash the cat box out weekly.
Cats love to scratch. You can get your cat a sturdy scratch post. It should be about three high. It should not wobble. The best surfaces for scratching range from burlap to tree bark. Scratching pads will suffice also.
Now you are on your way to caring properly for your cat. And showing your cat you care.
If you’re thinking about getting a cat this is a great article on general information about the feline fur babies. Hoe this article helps you make a decision.

Sometimes I feel a lot of love in my heart. It feels like an overwhelming wave of emotions and sometimes, I don’t know where to project it to. My heart beats slow and my breathing feels even slower. My eyes tear up and a smile plants itself on my face. Is this love? Is this what love feels like? And if this is what love feels like — can it be felt and portrayed without anyone to give it to or for no apparent reason at all? I feel a lot of things and a lot of times I don’t even know why I feel them. At times I believe I am able to feel such emotions and ride such highs because I’ve been through so many lows. Time and time again after life allows me to feel everything I am often seeking more. I want the good, I want the bad, I want the impossible. I believe I can feel such highs because I’ve been through such lows. I believe I can laugh loud because I’ve cried my eyes out louder. I believe I can love hard because I’ve lost harder. To me, feeling is a pleasure. I explore my emotions and seek and analyze them in order to find out what they’re trying to say. I dissect them, tear them apart and feel every little thing that comes with them. I imagine the experience of feelings being like waves. Every emotion, if it’s good or bad is simply a wave. I ride the good, I ride the bad equally and though some feel better than others — they both pass.
I often see people running away from the way they feel. It’s easy to feel the good emotions, but it’s sometimes unbearable to feel the bad. The pain, the suffering, the lows — they demand to be felt. People will drink themselves into oblivion, do drugs on drugs on drugs to avoid feeling a certain way, will focus and project their feelings onto other people to try and blame anyone but themselves for feeling this way. The thing about feelings is that they demand to be felt. They are the sensors to our bodies. If something hurts, it’s because something didn’t happen in a way that was according to your moral standard and your heart is trying to communicate that with you. If someone hurts you, you feel pain. Not because it’s a good feeling but because again — your body, mind and soul are communicating with you that this event, this person or this circumstances are not pleasant and there’s something to learn from them. It’s much easier to try and bury uncomfortable feelings than to deal with them or the consequences they bring. It’s not easy confronting someone who have hurt you or who you might’ve hurt, it’s not easy to ask someone for forgiveness, to put your heart on the line, to be vulnerable and be the bigger person. It’s never been easier and it never will be — but in order to grow — it’s necessary. Asking for forgiveness, stepping out of your comfort zone, reaching out, being rejected, accepting denial, forgiving, risking it all. These are all parts of growing. Dodging your emotions and trying to ignore them in order to not feel out of your element will not turn you into a great human. In order to grow, to be happy, to experience love and bliss we must know pain. We must be know pain and be comfortable with it.
Easy, comfortable times don’t make people. The sad, the lonely, the unbearable times make people. Standing up after you’ve been beaten down makes people, turning the other cheek makes people, being vulnerable and understanding that everyone is working from their highest level of consciousness makes people.
Be soft, be vulnerable, be forgiving, be brave.

Welcome to the Grazioni Family page at Surname Finder, a service of Genealogy Today. Our editors have compiled this checklist of genealogical resources, combining links to commercial databases along with user-contributed information and web sites for the Grazioni surname. As additional sources for vital records, original documents, vintage photographs and surname-based DNA projects are discovered, this page is updated to offer the best list for researching Grazioni ancestry. Share this page on Twitter!
It is important to remember that there is no single Grazioni family tree, as last names were assigned to people for various reasons. We are often asked, Where do I go to find birth, marriage, and death records for Grazioni family members? and you might be surprised at the answer.
Sometimes two people can look at the same handwritten record, and come up with different spellings of the name. Be creative when searching for your Grazioni ancestors -- we often search for misspellings intentionally to see if we missed any records. If you want to know Why can't I find Grazioni my ancestor in the SSDI?, then read this frequently asked question.
Vital records are essential for family history research because they were typically created at or near the time of the event, making the record more reliable. There are currently matching Grazioni records at Ancestry.com! Start exploring this online Grazioni family history resource today.
There are no clear, concise answers to why or how one of your Grazioni ancestors took on the surname. It may have been based on their occupation or a distinguising physical trait. Keep in mind that it was not unusual for a last name to be altered as an ancestor entered a new country.
Don't believe the hype! When DNA testing was first made available for genealogical purposes, some companies boasted how it could solve all your Grazioni family tree mysteries. DNA testing can be a useful tool, when applied properly to a given research issue. If you're not sure how DNA testing could aid your Grazioni research, read "Basics of DNA Family History Research".
For most people, just about every aspect of their life has been influenced in some way by their ancestors. Look beyond the names and dates to understand how and why your Grazioni ancestors lived and strived to make a better life for their descendants. Our team of seasoned experts are here to help you learn about different aspects of genealogy. Reading "Our Ancestors Paid Taxes" may help you think of some different tactics to compiling your Grazioni family history.
In the course of genealogy research, collaboration is key -- we really cannot do it alone, and one of the great benefits of participating in community message boards is building relationships that not only enlightens our research but strengthens bonds across the miles. The article "The Art of Posting Queries" provides some valuable tips for posting successful Grazioni queries.
You may also want to consider posting a query to the Community Message Boards at Genealogy Today to get assistance from other researchers on your most elusive Grazioni ancestors.

Pedigree charts and family group records are important genealogical tools, so bringing or creating on site a big family pedigree (or family tree) is sure to draw attention; at the same time, have plenty of blank family group sheets available for individual families to complete and submit to go into a "Grazioni family record book," which you can then digitize and share -- you can then bring the physical book back to the next reunion, adding new families each time. The article "A Great Way to Unite a Newly-Found Family" may provide you with tips for hosting a successful Grazioni reunion.

Goin on from past experiences it does sound a bit concerning that it's only beeing delayed by one day. Here's to hoping it won't end like some of the past patches.
It didn't appear to be a major major issue but it was enough that it was safer to cause a one day delay than potentially break anything. So far, things seem to be going smoothly and are on track.

Our Club Thrive member in the spotlight is Mindgrove, a professional training company for auditors, based at Thrive’s Station House in Warrington. We spoke to co-owner and director, Tanya Corlett.
Hi Tanya – tell us a bit about Mindgrove.
We launched in 2001 and we specialise in Audit, Risk and Control. Our trainers and consultants deliver support to organisations across all sectors. Our affiliation to the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors (CIIA) and Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) for whom we run events, has made us the first point of call for those seeking high-quality, low-cost, expert training. We are a small company with an international presence. I’m based at Station House with my co-owner-director, Stan Dormer, while the other team members are spread around the UK.
Brilliant. How long have you and Stan been at Station House?
We’ve been at Station House since September 2016 and enjoy sharing the space with like-minded people from other companies.
And what do you like best about the space?
Despite fears about having an office next to a rail station, we’ve become seasoned train spotters and watching folk on their travels can be more fun than work! We love the history that comes with the old Station House and its convenience – not only for popping out for a sandwich or bit of shopping, but for clients who can visit us using rail services.
That’s fantastic! Do you have any news you’d like to share with your fellow Club Thrive members?
This month, after patiently constructing it from Station House, we launched our state-of-the-art online learning academy with our most-often-requested training course: “Audit Report Writing”.
Thanks Tanya, we’re sure that’ll be a very popular course!

If you encounter a situation that you are unable to resolve on your own, please contact the program chairs. Your email will be entered into a task-management system to ensure it is handled appropriately. Please refrain from writing to the program chairs at their own email addresses.
Thank you for agreeing to serve for NIPS 2018! The community needs outstanding people like yourself to make NIPS a success, and we will work hard to make your duties as easy as possible. This page provides an overview of SAC, AC, and reviewer responsibilities and key dates.
SACs, ACs & reviewers enter domain conflicts, subject areas, TPMS information, etc.
Please respect deadlines and respond to emails as promptly as possible!
It is crucial that we are able to reach you in a timely manner. We will send most emails from CMT (i.e., email@msr-cmt.org). Such emails are sometimes accidentally marked as spam. Please check your spam folder regularly and if you find such an email in there, please whitelist the CMT email address so that you will receive future emails from CMT.
If you have changed or plan to change your email address, please update CMT accordingly. We have no way of knowing whether an email sent to you from CMT has bounced, so it is crucial that you make sure that CMT has the correct email address for you at all times. You should also make sure that your domain conflicts in CMT are up to date; these are important for preventing conflicts during the review process.
The NIPS definitions of conflicts of interest (and instructions for entering them) have changed a little from last year, so please make sure you read this year’s definitions.
NIPS uses the Toronto Paper Matching System (TPMS) to assign submissions to ACs and reviewers. Please log into TPMS here and make sure that your profile is up to date.
All participants must agree to abide by the NIPS code of conduct.
Senior Area Chair. With the growth in submissions, NIPS recently incorporated the role of senior area chair (SAC). SACs work alongside the area chairs (ACs) and program chairs (PCs). Each SAC oversees the work of a small number of ACs (around 7), making sure that the reviewing process goes smoothly. SACs serve as the first port of call for ACs if they need assistance or guidance. The reviewing process is double blind at the level of ACs (i.e., ACs cannot see author identities), but not at the level of SACs and program chairs; SACs are therefore responsible for identifying conflicts of interest (and other unusual activity, such as suspicious bidding patterns) and re-assigning submissions to ACs or reviewers accordingly. SACs are also responsible for helping ACs chase late reviewers, calibrating decisions across ACs, and discussing borderline papers. During the final decision-making phase, SACs will discuss all proposed decisions with the PCs. There is no physical SAC/AC meeting; most discussions with reviewers, ACs, and PCs will take place via CMT or email, with some video conferences toward the end of the reviewing process. Although reviewer identities are visible to ACs and SACs, they are hidden from the other reviewers. Please therefore refrain from using reviewers’ names during the discussion phase. After decisions have been made, reviews and meta-reviews will be made public (but reviewer and SAC/AC identities will remain anonymous).
Area Chair. Each area chair (AC) oversees around 20 submissions, making sure that the reviewing process goes smoothly. ACs are responsible for helping the program chairs (PCs) recruit reviewers, recommending reviewers for submissions, chasing late reviewers, facilitating discussions among reviewers, writing meta-reviews, evaluating the quality of reviews, and helping make decisions. The reviewing process is double blind at the level of ACs; each AC will work with a senior area chair (SAC), who is responsible for identifying conflicts of interest (and other unusual activity, such as suspicious bidding patterns) and re-assigning submissions to ACs or reviewers accordingly. SACs serve as the first port of call for ACs if they need assistance or guidance throughout the reviewing process. SACs also calibrate decisions across ACs. There are no physical meetings; most discussions with reviewers, SACs, and PCs will take place via CMT or email, with some video conferences toward the end of the reviewing process. Although reviewer identities are visible to ACs and SACs, they are hidden from the other reviewers. Please therefore refrain from using reviewers’ names during the discussion phase. AC identities are accessible by reviewers. After decisions have been made, reviews and meta-reviews will be made public (but reviewer and SAC/AC identities will remain anonymous).
Reviewer. Each reviewer will be assigned around 4--6 submissions to review. Reviewers are responsible for reviewing submissions, reading author responses, discussing submissions and author responses with other reviewers and area chairs (ACs), and helping make decisions. The reviewing process is double blind at the level of reviewers. There are no physical meetings; discussions with other reviewers and ACs will take place via CMT or email. After decisions have been made, reviews and meta-reviews will be made public (but reviewer and AC identities will remain anonymous). This year, as an incentive, ACs will be asked to evaluate the quality of each review using three scores: “exceeded expectations”, “met expectations,’ and “failed to meet expectations.” The 200 or so highest-scoring reviewers will be awarded free NIPS registrations. The next 800 or so highest-scoring reviewers will have registrations reserved for them (for a limited time frame). The lowest-scoring reviewers may not be invited to review for future conferences.
It is okay to be unavailable for part of the review process (e.g., on vacation for a few days), but if you will be unavailable for more than that -- especially during important windows (e.g., decision-making) -- you must let the program chairs know ASAP.
With great power comes great responsibility! Take your job seriously and be fair.
DO NOT talk to other SACs about submissions assigned to your ACs without prior approval from the program chairs; other SACs may have conflicts with these submissions.
DO NOT talk to other SACs or ACs about your own submissions (i.e., submissions you are an author on) or submissions with which you have a conflict of interest.
Be professional and listen to the reviewers and ACs, but do not give in to undue influence.
If an AC wants to make a decision that is not clearly supported by the reviews, please check that they justify their decision appropriately, including, but not limited to, reading the submission in depth and writing a detailed meta-review that explains their decision.
Help calibrate decisions by working closely with your ACs. It is your responsibility to figure out how best to work with your ACs during this process (e.g., over email, phone, video conferences, etc). Pay particularly close attention to borderline papers.
It is okay to be unavailable for part of the review process (e.g., on vacation for a few days), but if you will be unavailable for more than that -- especially during important windows (e.g., discussion, decision-making) -- you must let your SAC know ASAP.
DO NOT talk to other ACs about submissions that are assigned to you without prior approval from your SAC; other ACs may have conflicts with these submissions. In general, your primary point of contact for any discussions should be your SAC. Your SAC does not have any conflicts with any of the submissions that are assigned to you.
Be professional and listen to the reviewers, but do not give in to undue influence.
Make sure your reviewers read and (if appropriate) respond to all author responses.
After the author response phase, you must initiate a discussion via CMT for each submission and make sure the reviewers engage in the discussion phase.
Read all reviews carefully. After reading a review, please evaluate its quality by indicating (on CMT) whether it “exceeded expectations,” “met expectations,” or “failed to meet expectations.” You should use the information in the reviewer instructions (see the section “Review Content” below), as well as how helpful the review and subsequent discussion by the reviewer were in making your decision about the submission. The 200 or so highest-scoring reviewers will be awarded free NIPS registrations. The next 800 or so highest-scoring reviewers will have registrations reserved for them (for a limited time frame). The lowest-scoring reviewers may not be invited to review for future conferences.
Your meta-review should explain your decision to the authors. Your comments should augment the reviews, and explain how the reviews, author response, and discussion were used to arrive at your decision. Dismissing or ignoring a review is not acceptable unless you have a good reason for doing so. If you want to make a decision that is not clearly supported by the reviews, perhaps because the reviewers did not come to a consensus, please justify your decision appropriately, including, but not limited to, reading the submission in depth and writing a detailed meta-review that explains your decision.
It is okay to be unavailable for part of the review process (e.g., on vacation for a few days), but if you will be unavailable for more than that -- especially during a important windows (e.g., discussion, decision-making) -- you must let your ACs know ASAP.
Write thoughtful and constructive reviews. Your reviews must accord with the NIPS code of conduct. Although the double-blind review process reduces the risk of discrimination, reviews can inadvertently contain subtle discrimination, which should be actively avoided.
The reviewing process will be double blind at the level of reviewers and ACs (i.e., reviewers and ACs cannot see author identities) but not at the level of SACs or program chairs. If you are assigned a submission that is not adequately anonymized (e.g., includes author names, author affiliations, acknowledgements, or other identifying information) then please contact the corresponding AC. Under no circumstances should you attempt to find out the identities of the authors for any of your assigned submissions (e.g., by searching on Google or arXiv). If you accidentally find out, please do not divulge the identities to anyone, but do tell your AC that this has happened and make a note of this in the “Confidential Comments to Program Chairs” text field when you submit your review. You should not let the authors’ identities influence your decision in any way.
DO NOT talk to other reviewers, ACs, or SACs about submissions that are assigned to you without prior approval from your AC; other reviewers, ACs, and SACs may have conflicts with these submissions. In general, your primary point of contact for any discussions should be the corresponding AC for that submission.
DO NOT talk to other reviewers, ACs, or SACs about your own submissions (i.e., submissions you are an author on) or submissions with which you have a conflict.
Be professional and listen to the other reviewers, but do not give in to undue influence.
Read and (if appropriate) respond to all author responses. It is not fair to ignore any author response, even for submissions that you think should be rejected. Sometimes author responses contain clarifications that change reviewers’ minds.
Engage actively in the discussion phase for each of the submissions that you are assigned, even if you are not specifically prompted to do so by the corresponding AC.
It is not fair to dismiss any submission without having thoroughly read it. Think about the times when you received an unfair, unjustified, short, or dismissive review. Try not be that reviewer! Always be constructive and help the authors understand your viewpoint, without being dismissive or using inappropriate language. If you need to cite existing work to justify one of your comments, please be as precise as possible and give a complete citation.
If you would like the authors to clarify something during the author response phase, please articulate this clearly in your review (e.g., “I would like to see results of experiment X” or “Can you please include details about the parameter settings used for experiment Y”).
All reviews must be submitted via the NIPS 2018 CMT site. You may visit the site multiple times and revise your reviews as often as necessary. If you are both an author and a reviewer, please use the same email address for both roles in CMT. During the reviewing process, you will receive many emails from CMT (i.e., email@msr-cmt.org). Such emails are sometimes accidentally marked as spam. Please check your spam folder regularly and if you find such an email in there, please whitelist the CMT email address so that you will receive future emails from CMT.
Please note that NIPS is using CMT3 for the first time this year.
You must keep everything relating to the review process confidential. Do not to use ideas and results from submissions in your own work until they become publicly available (e.g., via a technical report or a published paper). Do not to talk about or distribute submissions (or the ideas and results described in them) to anyone without prior approval from the program chairs.
The reviewing process will be double blind at the level of reviewers and ACs (i.e., reviewers and ACs cannot see author identities) but not at the level of SACs and program chairs. Authors are responsible for anonymizing their submissions. In particular, they should not include author names, author affiliations, or acknowledgements in their submissions and they should avoid providing any other identifying information (even in the supplementary material). If you are assigned a submission that is not adequately anonymized (e.g., includes author names, author affiliations, acknowledgements, or other identifying information) then please contact the corresponding AC. Under no circumstances should you attempt to find out the identities of the authors for any of your assigned submissions (e.g., by searching on Google or arXiv). If you accidentally find out, please do not divulge the identities to anyone, but do tell your AC that this has happened and make a note of this in the “Confidential Comments to Program Chairs” text field when you submit your review. You should not let the authors’ identities influence your decision in any way.
Authors may submit up to 100MB of supplementary material, such as proofs, derivations, data, or source code; all supplementary material must be in PDF or ZIP format. Your responsibility as a reviewer is to read and review the submission itself; looking at supplementary material as at your discretion. That said, NIPS submissions are short, so you may wish to look at supplementary material before complaining about insufficient details, proofs, or experimental results.
Submissions are limited to eight content pages, including all figures and tables, in the NIPS “submission” style; additional pages containing only references are allowed. Authors must use the NIPS 2018 LaTeX style file. If you are assigned any submissions that violate the NIPS style (e.g., by decreasing margins or font size) or page limits, please contact the program chairs.
Submissions that are identical or substantially similar to papers that are in submission to, have been accepted to, or have been published in other archival conferences, journals, workshops, etc. should be deemed dual submissions. Submissions that are identical or substantially similar to other NIPS submissions should also be deemed dual submissions; submissions should be distinct and sufficiently substantial. Slicing contributions too thinly may be sufficient for submissions to be deemed dual submissions. If you suspect that a submission that has been assigned to you is a dual submission or if you require further clarification, please contact the corresponding AC and program chairs. For more information about dual submissions, please see the author guidelines.
We know that serving as a reviewer for NIPS is time consuming, but the community needs outstanding people like yourself to uphold the scientific quality of NIPS. Review content is the primary means by which ACs, SACs, and program chairs make decisions about submissions. Please make your review as detailed and informative as possible; short, superficial reviews that venture uninformed opinions or guesses are worse than no review since they may result in the rejection of a high-quality submission. We ask that you pay particular attention to the question, “Does this submission add value to the NIPS community?” Solid, technical papers that explore new territory or point out new directions for research are preferable to papers that advance the state of the art, but only incrementally. Review content is also the primary means by which authors understand their submissions’ decisions. Reviews for rejected submissions help authors understand how to improve their work for other conferences or journals. Reviews for accepted submissions help authors understand how to improve their work for the camera-ready versions.
Quality: Is the submission technically sound? Are claims well supported by theoretical analysis or experimental results? Is this a complete piece of work or work in progress? Are the authors careful and honest about evaluating both the strengths and weaknesses of their work?
“The technical content of the paper appears to be correct albeit some small careless mistakes that I believe are typos instead of technical flaw (see #4 below).
“While the paper is pretty readable, there is certainly room for improvements in the clarity of the paper. I find paragraphs in section 1 and 2 to be repetitive. It is clear enough from the Introduction that the key advantages of CHIVI are the zero avoiding approximations and the sandwich bound. I don't find it necessary to be stressing that much more in section 2. Other than that, many equations in the paper do not have numbers. The references to the appendices are also wrong (There is no Appendix D or F). There is an extra period in line 188.
“The main contribution of this paper is to offer a convergence proof for minimizing sum fi(x) + g(x) where fi(x) is smooth, and g is nonsmooth, in an asynchronous setting. The problem is well-motivated; there is indeed no known proof for this, in my knowledge.
Significance: Are the results important? Are others (researchers or practitioners) likely to use the ideas or build on them? Does the submission address a difficult task in a better way than previous work? Does it advance the state of the art in a demonstrable way? Does it provide unique data, unique conclusions about existing data, or a unique theoretical or experimental approach?
Please comment on and take into account the strengths of the submission. It can be tempting to only comment on the weaknesses; however, ACs, SACs, and program chairs need to understand both the strengths and the weaknesses in order to make an informed decision. It is useful for the ACs, SACs, and program chairs if you include a list of arguments for and against acceptance. If you believe that a submission is out of scope for NIPS, then please justify this judgement appropriately, including, but not limited to, looking at subject areas and previous NIPS papers. If you need to cite existing work, please be as precise as possible and give a complete citation.
- The problem of safe RL is very important, of great interest to the community and without too much in the way of high quality solutions.
- The authors make good use of the developed tools in model-based control and provide some bridge between developments across sub-fields.
- The simulations support the insight from the main theoretical analysis, and the algorithm seems to outperform its baseline.
- I found the paper as a whole a little hard to follow and even poorly written as a whole. For a specific example of this see the paragraph beginning 197.
- The treatment of prior work and especially the "exploration/exploitation" problem is inadequate and seems to be treated as an afterthought: but of course it is totally central to the problem! Prior work such as  deserve a much more detailed discussion and comparison so that the reader can understand how/why this method is different.
- Something is confusing (or perhaps even wrong) about the way that Figure 1 is presented. In an RL problem you cannot just "sample" state-actions, but instead you may need to plan ahead over multiple timesteps for efficient exploration.
- The main theorems are hard to really internalize in any practical way, would something like a "regret bound" be possible instead? I'm not sure that these types of guarantees are that useful.
1) Distributed variant of K-FAC that is efficient for optimizing deep neural networks. The authors mitigate the computational bottlenecks of the method (second order statistic computation and Fisher Block inverses) by asynchronous updating.
2) The authors propose a “doubly-factored” Kronecker approximation for layers whose inputs are too large to be handled by the standard Kronecker-factored approximation. They also present (Appendix A) a cheaper Kronecker factored approximation for convolutional layers.
- Paper presents interesting ideas on how to make computationally demanding aspects of K-FAC tractable.
- Experiments are well thought out and highlight the key advantages of the method over Synchronous SGD (with and without BN).
- “…it should be possible to scale our implementation to a larger distributed system with hundreds of workers.” The authors mention that this should be possible, but fail to mention the potential issues with respect to communication, load balancing and node (worker) failure. That being said, as a proof-of-concept, the method seems to perform well and this is a good starting point.
Your comments should be detailed, specific, and polite. Please avoid vague, subjective complaints. Think about the times when you received an unfair, unjustified, short, or dismissive review. Try not be that reviewer! Always be constructive and help the authors understand your viewpoint, without being dismissive or using inappropriate language. Remember that you are not reviewing your level of interest in the submission, but its scientific contribution to the field!
If you have comments that you wish to be kept confidential from the authors, you can use either the “Confidential Comments to Area Chair” text field or the “Confidential Comments to Program Chairs” text field. Such comments might include explicit comparisons of the submission to other submissions and criticisms that are more bluntly stated. If you accidentally find out the identities of the authors, please do not divulge the identities to anyone, but do tell your AC that this has happened and make a note of this in the “Confidential Comments to Program Chairs” text field.
You will be asked to provide a “Overall Score” between 1 and 10 for each submission. The ACs, SACs, and program chairs will interpret these scores via the following scale.
10: Top 5% of accepted NIPS papers. Truly groundbreaking work.
I will consider not reviewing for NIPS again if this submission is rejected.
9: Top 15% of accepted NIPS papers. An excellent submission; a strong accept.
I will fight for accepting this submission.
8: Top 50% of accepted NIPS papers. A very good submission; a clear accept.
I vote and argue for accepting this submission.
7: A good submission; an accept.
I vote for accepting this submission, although I would not be upset if it were rejected.
6: Marginally above the acceptance threshold.
I tend to vote for accepting this submission, but rejecting it would not be that bad.
5: Marginally below the acceptance threshold.
I tend to vote for rejecting this submission, but accepting it would not be that bad.
4: An okay submission, but not good enough; a reject.
I vote for rejecting this submission, although I would not be upset if it were accepted.
I vote and argue for rejecting this submission.
2: I'm surprised this work was submitted to NIPS; a strong reject.
I will fight for rejecting this submission.
1: Trivial or wrong or already known.
I will consider not reviewing for NIPS again if this submission is accepted.
You should NOT assume that you were assigned a representative sample of submissions, nor should you adjust your scores to match the overall conference acceptance rates. The “Overall Score” for each submission should reflect your assessment of the submission’s contributions.
You will be asked to provide a “Confidence Score” between 1 and 5 for each submission. The ACs, SACs, and program chairs will interpret these scores via the following scale.
5: You are absolutely certain about your assessment.
You are very familiar with the related work.
4: You are confident in your assessment, but not absolutely certain.
It is unlikely, but not impossible, that you did not understand some parts of the submission or that you are unfamiliar with some pieces of related work.
3: You are fairly confident in your assessment.
It is possible that you did not understand some parts of the submission or that you are unfamiliar with some pieces of related work. Math/other details were not carefully checked.
2: You are willing to defend your assessment, but it is quite likely that you did not understand central parts of the submission or that you are unfamiliar with some pieces of related work. Math/other details were not carefully checked.
1: Your assessment is an educated guess. The submission is not in your area or the submission was difficult to understand. Math/other details were not carefully checked.
Authors will be given the opportunity to respond to their reviews before decisions are made. This is to enable them to address misunderstandings, point out parts of their submissions that were overlooked, or disagree with the reviewers’ assessments. In previous years, some authors felt that their responses were ignored. As a reviewer, it is your responsibility to read and (if appropriate) respond to each author response. It is not fair to ignore any author response, even for submissions that you think should be rejected. Although it is possible that an author response will not change your assessment of a submission, you must convey to the authors that you have carefully considered their comments. As you read each author response, keep an open mind. Have you overlooked something? Please update each review to indicate that you have read the author response and whether you agree or disagree with it. You should be more specific than “I have read the author response and my opinion remains the same.” If that is the case, you should explain why it remains it remains the same, what the author response failed to address, etc.
After the author response phase, the AC for each submission will initiate a discussion via CMT to encourage the reviewers to come to a consensus. If the reviewers do come to a consensus, the program chairs will take it seriously; only rarely are unanimous assessments overruled. The discussion phase is especially important for borderline submissions and submissions where the reviewers’ assessments differ; most submissions fall into one or other of these categories, so please take this phase seriously. When discussing a submission, try to remember that different people have different backgrounds and different points of view. Ask yourself, “Do the other reviewers' comments make sense?" and do consider changing your mind in light of their comments, if appropriate. That said, if you think the other reviewers are not correct, you are not required to change your mind. Reviewer consensus is valuable, but it is not mandatory.

$10,000 because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident.
Under Montana law, motorists stopped for a traffic violation or involvement in a motor vehicle collision are required to show proof of insurance to law enforcement, in addition to displaying their driver license and vehicle registration.
In order to help enforce this law, the Montana Legislature enacted legislation that authorized creation of an online motor vehicle liability insurance verification system. Montana Code Annotated 61-6-157 directs the Montana Department of Justice to establish a motor vehicle insurance verification system capable of confirming that vehicle owners and operators on Montana roadways are in compliance with vehicle liability policy requirements. The Montana Insurance Verification System (MTIVS) was implemented to fulfill this requirement.
MTIVS uses information from Montana vehicle registration records and from insurance companies that write policies in Montana to access up-to-the-minute data to confirm if a vehicle has minimum liability insurance coverage.
Individuals can now verify their own insurance status using MTIVS.com. Individuals will need the Vehicle Number found on the Registration Card or on the Registration Renewal Notice, as well as the plate number.
Laws covering motor vehicle insurance responsibility and verification can be found in the Montana Code Annotated Title 61, chapter 6.
Laws covering certificates of title, registration, and taxation of motor vehicles can be found in the Montana Code Annotated Title 61, chapter 3.
For additional information about Montana auto insurance laws, visit the Commissioner of Securities and Insurance website.
I already have car insurance. What will change for me?
Nothing. It could even help you. For example, MTIVS can help verify insurance for a driver who has forgotten to carry the current insurance card in their vehicle.
Can MTIVS verify a commercial insurance policy?
We are self-insured. How does this work with MTIVS?
MTIVS provides a way to track separately or distinguish motor vehicles that are self-insured if a self-insurer wants to provide vehicle-specific information about their fleet. Otherwise, you may continue to rely on your proof of insurance card showing the “fleet” designation.
Can MTIVS verify an out-of-state insurance policy?
No. MTIVS only receives information from automobile liability insurance companies who are insuring vehicles registered in Montana. However, law enforcement may receive information about an out-of-state insurance policy status through other criminal justice networks, depending on that state’s law and procedures.
I presented an insurance card, but the system says I don’t have insurance or is not able to confirm my policy.
There are multiple causes for this situation.
There will be rare occasions when MTIVS is not accessible due to the computer system being down. The law enforcement officer will exercise discretion, based on the individual circumstances, as to whether a citation is issued.
There could be a discrepancy between the vehicle identification number (VIN) listed on your policy and what is listed on your vehicle title. Verify that the numbers match.
The response received from MTIVS supersedes an insurance card produced by a vehicle owner or operator, and notwithstanding the display of an insurance card by the owner or operator, the law enforcement officer may issue a complaint and notice to appear to the owner or operator for a violation of state law.
The exceptions to this are if the vehicle is: covered under a commercial insurance policy; part of a self-insured fleet; or, included in an insurance binder that has not been entered into MTIVS at the time the system is accessed.
Your new insurance company will give you a binder – a temporary card that’s good for a limited period. This will trump the status listed in MTIVS. Depending on how quickly your new insurance company updates its systems, that information may be available via MTIVS in a matter of days.
If my spouse’s vehicle is titled in their name but insured under my policy, will MTIVS verify insurance?
Yes, as long as that car is specifically listed on your insurance policy. MTIVS is a vehicle-based information system so it can only verify insurance if a particular car is associated with a specific auto liability policy.
My vehicle is not being used. Does it still need to be insured?
If the vehicle is registered, it must have minimum liability insurance on it.
Montana law requires drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance. Penalties for not having insurance can be severe. You can’t afford not to have insurance.
What are the fines/penalties for not having insurance?
Montana law requires that you carry proof of Montana auto insurance in your vehicle and produce it if a law enforcement officer asks to see it. Driving without car insurance in Montana is a misdemeanor. The penalty for a no-insurance citation is between $250 and $500 or up to 10 days in jail for a first offense.
A second offense will result in a minimum $350 fine or 10 days in jail. Your driver license will be revoked for 90 days. You will also get 5 points on your driving record; a total of 30 points will result in the revocation of your driver license.
A third or subsequent conviction is punishable by a fine of $500 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or both.
What is the financial impact of uninsured drivers?
Accidents involving uninsured and underinsured motorists cost drivers and insurance companies millions of dollars every year. Those who insure their vehicles legally essentially pay the cost of the uninsured drivers and the policies they should be carrying. So in states with extremely high rates of uninsured motorists out on the roads, insured drivers pay a huge premium for their compliance with the law.

July started on a full moon and ends on one too. The second full moon of any month is called a blue moon, but the term originally applied to an extra full moon in a season, not in a month, which gives us 13 full moons in a year instead of 12. The concept behind blue moon is rarity – as in “once in a blue moon”. And now you know.
Look up at the evening sky and take in the feast. Venus and Jupiter in Leo are at maximum brilliance as July opens.
Canada’s birthday coincides with a full moon in Capricorn. It’s an aptly descriptive solar return chart for Prime Minister Harper’s conflict ridden regime, our current political state of affairs, and Canada’s upcoming fall election. On a happier note, the sun’s trine to Neptune makes for a good day to relax, enjoy, and to give in to moment.
Whether it’s an inner dilemma or an outer circumstance, we are all working through something major. There are a lot of planetary contributors to this critical juncture along the timeline. Most notably there’s Venus to talk about.
Jupiter is a much slower mover than Venus. Jupiter in Leo was in tension aspect to Saturn from September through the start of Dec 2014 but the duo will finally perfect the square aspect from Leo (Jupiter) to Scorpio (Saturn) on Aug 3, two days after Saturn ends retrograde. If you are wondering why Jupiter hasn’t matched your expectations, now you know why.
With Venus about to turn retrograde, (July 25 to Sept 6) expect whatever is firing up to have a dynamic life force. It is a karmic cycle of major significance. Venus is the planet of net worth and self worth, it is a creator archetype, a survival archetype, and constitutes one half of the relationship duo. Venus in Leo brings us to the heart of the matter. We are embarking upon a heart journey, one that is meant to create an important re-centering, to put us back in touch with the light – our own inner light.
Venus dips into Virgo from July 18 to Aug 31. It will station to retrograde at 0 Virgo on July 25. This is the last time it will do so for the next quarter millennium. 0 Virgo is also the degree of the fixed star Regulus, the royal star. It is a suggestion of a critical healing mandate for the planet and humankind, of “the meek inheriting the earth”, of the need to return to a philosophy of service to the whole, rather than to the self-serving.
Usually when Venus stations to retrograde, circumstance come to a halt, but also on this same day, July 25, Mars in Cancer squares off with Uranus in Aries. Just 24 hours later, on July 26, Uranus stations retrograde. Mars/Uranus can be a volatile, sudden, eruptive, and fast forward influence. Uranus is an awakening archetype. To the negative, Mars/Uranus can bring revolts, revolutions, demonstrations, marches, riots, etc. The weather can be extreme too (fire, lighting, etc.) Both Venus and Uranus in retrograde uncover something specific. It is sure t could be a shatter through weekend or a break- point of significance. There are good transits in the week that follows and on August 1, Saturn ends the retrograde it began in the middle of March. No matter how it shapes up for you, expect to be on the move-along with something of critical significance to you.

Mars in Cancer keeps it fired up on the home & family front through the start of August. The transit is also appropriately timed for putting fresh energy into personal wellbeing, security matters (actual and emotional), and creative projects.
What does happiness look like to you? How close are you to obtain what your heart desires? Whether travel or a special event is in the works or not, Venus trine Jupiter opens July with something important on the go.
By the time Venus advances into Virgo on July 18 and turns retrograde on July 25, you may find that you aren’t as finished or as far along as you have previously thought. The few days before and around July 25 when Venus retrograde begins can make for difficulties with money, work, or health. Mars square Uranus on the same day can make for a sudden snap or eruption, for equipment breakdown, accidents, the unexpected, etc. It’s hard to maintain control, consistency or influence. On the other, things happen for a reason. See the moment as an exceptional opportunity.
The productive side of this transit is about making a purposeful sacrifice or taking a difficult or challenging step. To the plus, the sun is in good shape, forming several strong alignments. You could stumble upon something quite useful.
Thanks to Mars in emotional Cancer, you’ll feel everything with greater intensity. Venus/Jupiter can start the month on a high note, especially if you are at the start of a trip or a vacation.
Live it up and make good use of the first two weeks of the month. The stars are about to flick a major switch. Watch the days leading up to the new moon on July 14. Mars conjoins Mercury and both oppose Pluto. It could bring you to a sharp and abrupt edge. Even though a new moon is usually a quiet time, this one could be eruptive or disruptive.
The days around July 25 are also ones to watch out for as both Venus and Uranus station retrograde. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Do aim for purposeful upgrades, and vote in the direction of reinvention.
Venus retrograde is an important cycle for getting back in touch with yourself. Are you running along a successful personal track? Are you happy, well, and thriving? Have you got a good handle on life? If not, what upgrades do you need to make? Although it could take time to figure out, Venus in Leo urges you to love yourself better, to aim for better and more.
The start of the month dishes up a great time to travel, vacation, or get on the move. Perhaps there’s special news to share, a special event to attend, or a special someone to see.
The month ahead could see you burn through plenty of money too. Financial, health, or relationship wise, the decisive new moon on July could thrust the switch on something major. Fast action is called for.
Venus in Virgo, starting July 18, and retrograde from July 25, can see you revisit a health, home, or a family matter. A renovation project, trip, plan, or business matter may require a major rethink. Too, you could have more paperwork, talking, negotiating or repair work to do. It’s good when things get uncovered. See it as a blessing in disguise. It’s the beginning of an important fix, healing, or correction.
You’ll gain plenty of extra get-up-and-go from Mars in Cancer through the start of Aug. Mars is particularly hotwired on the new moon July 14 and on July 25, the day of Venus’ station to retrograde and the day before Uranus does the same. Mark these dates on your calendar and watch what builds in the preceding days as they may give you a heads-up.
Venus in Virgo and retrograde can force you to rethink your plans or to have another talk with yourself. It can show you where you’ve made a wrong turn or incorrect estimate. You may choose or be forced to back-out of something. It could bring relief and/or prove to be a saving grace. No matter what it looks like in the moment, Venus retrograde is meant to open a portal to and accelerate an improvement.
Your birthday isn’t July 1 (we all know its Cancer’s day), but thanks to Venus/Jupiter in Leo you could feel like it is. Whatever you get up to, it’s not a little, it’s a lot. Yes, go ahead, indulge, celebrate, shine, and aim for major mileage.
By mid month, you’ll feel a major energy shift or move on to other things. The July 15 new moon or the days leading up to it could be a cut-off or kick-start time. The good roll continues in the following week, but watch the weekend of July 25/26 for added action and/or excitement. That’s when both Venus and Uranus begin retrograde. While it is a good time to start a vacation, Mars square Uranus and Uranus retrograde can fire up the unexpected. The month ends with a full moon in Aquarius and Venus retrograde on a revisit to Leo.
Now through the middle of September, Juno, the contract asteroid, tenants your sign. On the bigger picture level, Juno’s tour through Virgo suggests it’s a time of personal renewal; that you are at the start of signing a new agreement/covenant with yourself. You’ll feel it instinctually and you’ll witness it outwardly too. This new cycle is one that is directed to repair, healing and self improvement at all levels. You can be at the start of a new job, work cycle, or training program. Simultaneous to your inner growth, you’ll see circumstances improve too. July 12 to 15 can be a turn-the-corner, move ahead, or break-through time.
From July 18 through the full moon on July 31, Venus says a quick hello to your sign. This Venus transit can be accompanied by a sense of promise or destiny to this next stage of your life. Perhaps you’ll feel like it’s your last chance, or that you have one last thing to do, say or accomplish in order to feel complete, resolved, ready etc. These statements will be felt the strongest if your birthday falls on Aug 23.
The last weekend of the month can be quite notable. This is when both Venus (July 25) and Uranus (July 26) turn retrograde. Mars also strikes flint (squares Uranus) on July 25, so try to maintain a vigil re safety measures. A disruption, eruption, accident, or surprise is within the range of possibilities. Venus at station is usually a stall-out influence but Mars square Uranus is anything but.
A new life adventure is calling. Mars in Cancer, Cancer month, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus put you on a major move along. Life, career, relationships, or ambitions can be heading in a new direction. Whether it’s sprung on you or you’ve been working toward it for awhile, the start of July hits full steam ahead.
Venus in Leo is great influence for pleasure-seeking, play, new love, socializing, exploring, discovering, and for reinventing yourself. It’s also great for vacation time and for enjoying the local happenings.
July 18 through July 31, Venus dips into Virgo. Use this time to pull back from spending or over-activity. Stop the inner critic, catch-up with yourself, relax and replenish. Tend to a short project, to take stock, to fix, revise, and improve as necessary.
Venus retrograde in Virgo is a good time to get off the hamster wheel, to take a vacation or time out. Another purpose of the cycle is to show you where you may have taken a wrong turn. It can make you question more so that you can edit, delete, or at the very least, minimize on the wrong turns or time wasters. If it’s too weak to survive, it probably won’t. Venus retrograde in Leo can see you get back into the swing of things, but you’ll do it with more conscious awareness and intention. Venus retrograde is a time to be more selective about what you show and to whom. It can also take you through a karmic interval with a specific someone or specific circumstance.
July 12 through the end of the month is an ideal time for a get-away, or switch-track. Time off or away is great, but don’t expect to be sitting still, at least not for long. The new moon on July 15, Venus into Virgo on July 18, and the start of retrograde for both Venus (July 25) and Uranus (July 26) are all strike-flint, switch-track dates. All are good for a getaway but know there’s also a potential for a shakeup, an added expense, or an inconvenience.
Venus conjoined with your ruler Jupiter at the month’s start makes it a great time to be a Sagittarius – especially so noting that both planets are energized by Uranus (by trine). Freedom, it’s a great feel. It’s what your sign lives for; – well, that and love, of course.
While Jupiter and Venus in Leo continue to keep your spark well lit, Saturn’s influence brings an awareness of a shifting reality and/or growing need. There’s a limit or end to the road ahead and it can’t be downplayed or ignored. July 6, 12, 13, and 15 are action dates; one way or another they move you further along.
Venus dips into Virgo from July 18 to 31. You could find that the timing isn’t quite right, that you aren’t quite ready, or that you aren’t quite free yet. A new necessity or reality could appear abruptly. Although the start of Venus retrograde can typically bring a stop or a stall out, the weekend of July 25 (and the days leading up to it) are sure to be catapulting, thanks to Mars in dynamic tension (square) with Uranus which turns retrograde on July 26. Something important is building. It has a life of its own. You can’t stop it. It’s likely you don’t want to either.
July opens on a Capricorn full moon, but rather than a day of conflict, it looks like a good one to indulge and enjoy. Do it your way and take delight in the reward it brings. If there’s tension to be found, you’ll see it into the evening or the following day, but overall you should feel that you are gaining on yourself and that life is also on a good move-along.
A vacation or change of pace hits it right anytime in July. There are three peaks to the month, the start, the middle, and the end of the month. All mark switch-track thresholds. The new moon on July 15 can be an especially emotional push come to shove time. It could feel like a full moon instead.
If you can’t get away, aim to pick up the slack with something fresh. If you don’t have a focus, a project, or anything specific on the backburner, watch for destiny’s plan to reveal itself. The start of Venus retrograde on July 25, and Uranus retrograde on July 26 can kick it into action.
Canada Day coincides with a full moon in Capricorn. A day off can be put to good use; perhaps there’s someone special to spend time with or something special to do. If it’s a day of work, it’s one to get through, but overall, you’ll stay on top of what you need to.
Venus and Jupiter in Leo continue to shine in your people and lifestyles sector but both progressively tighten an aspect with Saturn. Venus turns the corner on July 13; Jupiter squares off with Saturn on Aug 3. Both suggest that you gaining an awareness of the wear and tear on the system, this regarding finances, time, and matters of the heart. You are correct to be more selective regarding who, what, where, and when. Too, these transits suggest you are outgrowing a particular circumstance, and/or that you feel a growing need/desire to get moving in a new direction regarding career and personal life priorities. You are quite aware of the advancing hour. Venus/Saturn and Jupiter/Saturn keep you working your way toward a wrap-up, a goal post, or an important transition. As Venus dips into Virgo from July 18 to July 31, it can provide you with a clearer sense of what’s missing. It can also point toward what would be more useful and productive in terms of correcting, healing or fixing. Venus retrograde, July 25 through Sept 25, provides you with a time extension to observe and to re-evaluate. Venus retrograde in Leo helps you to get back in touch with your own creative centre, your own creative process. It’s all about figuring out what’s best for you.
While the day that Venus stations retrograde often produces a stall out, the weekend of July 25, 26 is likely to do just the opposite. Mars squares Uranus just after Venus turns retrograde, and just a day later, Uranus stations retrograde too. This is sure to give a significant kick to something. A vacation break or change of scenery is ideal. The days that immediately follow suggest a good deck clearing. The month ends on another energy surge, thanks to a full moon in Aquarius and Venus retrograde backtracking into Leo.
A full moon in Capricorn opens the month; a full moon in Aquarius ends the month. Between July 1 and 31 there’s a lot going on with Venus and the rest of the stellar gang. The full moon on July1 is accompanies by the sun’s trine to Neptune; overall it’s a good day to take in Canada Day, or to enjoy it your way.
Mercury advances into Cancer on July 8, which is a good transit for family and personal enjoyments. It’s also good for lovers. July 13, Venus surpasses Saturn (by square aspect) and by the Cancer new moon on July 15, Mercury will catch up Mars in Cancer. This new moon marks an action peak of the month. You may have started on it a few days prior; July 12 & 13 are both move-along dates. The next action peak is the last weekend of the month when both Venus (July 25) and Uranus (July 26) turn retrograde in your health and work sector.
Once Venus turns to retrograde, it will put more on brew inside of you. Allow yourself to monitor the thoughts and feelings, to consider your options. Try it on for size inside your heart and mind and wait for the answers or urge to build a life of their own.

text: In 1770 residents of Revilla, Mexico, established a village (4. 5 mi. W) on land granted by Jose de Escandon. The same year the Spanish built a fort nearby. In 1842 the men on the ill-fated expedition to Mier occupied the village while they foraged for supplies. First named "Habitacion," the town grew to be second largest on the Rio Grande. It was named for friendly Indians living in "carrizo" (cane) huts. In 1858, after Zapata County was created, the name changed to "Bellville" and then back to "Carrizo. " In 1898 "Zapata" was chosen for Col. Antonio Zapata, a rancher executed for his part in the 1839 fight to found the Republic of the Rio Grande. Henry Redmond, a well-known area rancher, was the first county judge. Another county judge was Jose Antonio George Navarro, son of Jose Antonio Navarro, one of the two native-born signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

St. Alphonsus School has an athletics program that is designed to offer opportunities to all students who are interested in participating. Through the Manitoba Catholic Schools Athletic Association, grade seven and eight students can participate in inter-school competition in volleyball, basketball and badminton. Students from grade 4 and up have the opportunity to join track and field in the spring. We strive to incorporate fair play in all of our athletic activities. Equal playing time, respect for competitors/ officials and good sportspersonship are essential elements to the program.
The school also endeavours to provide the opportunity for students less interested in this level of competition to play on teams during intramural activities or through the developmental league. These teams are based on the same fair play principles established for competitive teams but are open to all students who choose to participate. We offer extra-curricular clubs that encourage an active lifestyle including running club, badminton club and other activities as the interest arises.

That volatility would seem like a slam dunk for Team Krugman—except for one thing: the banks of that era did, in fact, face onerous government regulations that weakened the safety and soundness of the financial system. Krugman has picked an example that undermines his case; the Nobel laureate in economics and celebrated commentator has misread U.S. banking history.
As Steven Horwitz notes at Coordination Problem, banks were not allowed to operate branches across state lines, and this prohibition of interstate banking hindered their ability to diversify their portfolios and made them prone to panics. Moreover, federally chartered banks were required to back their currency with government bonds; this regulation made it too costly for them to respond to increases in the demand for money by issuing more bank notes, which in turn led to currency shortages and financial crises, such as the disastrous Panic of 1907.
