Disclaimer: Articles of a Domestic Goddess Seat Belt Travel Pals are NOT crash tested. They are not meant to be used by infants in carriers or children who are still in seats which utilize a strap that is connected to a car seat or a 5 point harness. Please only use these with children who are out of safety seats. The only safe way to utilize these is for children who are in upright seats or boosters in which their safety strap is the actual vehicle seat belt strap. They are meant to be used only to cover a seat belt in a vehicle, NOT on a car seat strap. This is an unsafe practice. Do not attempt to use seat belt covers to prevent chaffing from seat belts. If seat belt is rubbing or chaffing then it is being used improperly and seat may need to be reinstalled or repositioned to ensure a better fit.

Sigh. It seems that the Domestic Goddess needs to take a break from the bon-bons!
I know what you're thinking…. this isn't crochet! But I named my blog Articles of a Domestic Goddess because I consider myself a well rounded individual and I would like to blog about things that affect myself and all Domestic Goddesses alike. There is nothing, I think, that affects us all so uniformly than our health. I would like to do more things like this and share recipes as I come up with them. If this is something you would like to see more of, give me a shout in the comments section and let me know YAY or NAY!
College years, everyone packs on a few. But now I'm 30 and I feel (and see) the damage that I have done to my body from the excessive weight fluctuations, 2 c-sections, and a poor lifestyle. Diabetes is rampant on both sides of my gene pool and with the 30 hump in hindsight, I am starting to look to the future. I have watched 30 somethings as a 20 something and noted how different their bodies were. Things just… don't quite bounce back as quickly. Those that made changes right around 30 seemed to have decent senior years. This is my last chance.
After my, now 6 year old, son was born, I was the largest I've ever been in my life. I was 270 lbs! I lost 70 lbs over the next few years with changes to my lifestyle. I followed a Weight Watchers plan, and worked out regularly (although, I'll admit it was mostly core training… I'm just not for gyrating) I was down to about 25 lbs from my high school weight; I felt AMAZING! Then, I got my wish and got pregnant! I had my daughter, and last child, 17 months ago. I would like to blame a lot of my weight issues on pregnancy, but the honest truth is, I am in control of my weight. I am in control of what I am putting into my body. I just don't care. I have allowed myself to forget everything that I learned. After my daughter was born, I only weighed 30 lbs more than I did when I got pregnant. Instead of buckling down to lose the weight I gave up and blamed it on breast feeding. I have gained 20 lbs since she was born and I feel bigger everyday. Shame on me.
Then I came across this video: This video not only made me think of myself and my own eating habits, but how my habits are affecting my already overweight husband (since I do all the cooking) and my children. My son is thin now, but I was thin until puberty. My daughter will probably be tall and I want to show her the right way to be healthy. I definitely don't want to give her a complex and I want her to be a kid, but if she is like me and my cousins, she will likely have some weight on her and I want her to know how to handle that as puberty comes. As a mother, I am affecting ALL the members of my family with my eating habits. This video left me in tears. My eating has got to get under control. There are so many emotional factors that play into food addiction. I have to remember that we eat to live, not the other way around. This weekend, I had an occasion that I had to dress up a tad for. Well, just blue jeans and a t shirt wouldn't cut it… What I found was heartbreaking for me. I ended up with my head in my hands saying how I hated my body. HATED. I feel trapped. I can't live like this.
I no longer smoke, which was a big problem for me. I quit with my son for 10 months, but picked up one, and that was it. My parents each smoked 3-4 packs, a day, a piece my whole life. (They are both hitting one whole month cigarette free this week! Bravo!) I am watching my father, who has COPD, Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis suffocate to death. He recently had a bout with his COPD and he came home with oxygen. I guess it scared him enough that he thought he would die this time. If I had any desire to smoke before, it is gone now. I will never smoke again. I am now 2 years and 2 months clear of cigarettes! So there's that.
I have started a group on Facebook that I believe can offer support to those looking to make a change to their lives, and food does not have to be the change you're making. Healthy Living Support Group is a place those who are looking to continue on their path to healthiness or those who are just starting out can all come together and offer support to each other. If you are already healthy and looking to maintain and speak to people with your same mindset, come join us! I would love to hear of your journey. We already have a very diverse, very open minded, non judgmental atmosphere. I am excited to see what we can make happen! Post weight loss photos, recipes, what works for you, ideas, whatever that you'd like to share. If you do a specific workout routine that you want to share, we'd love to hear it! I understand that different things work for different people. Hopefully this group can be also serve as a source for different options for even those who are looking for what will work for them.
Everyone likes to have a little fun! Fits toddler to adult. Can be easily adapted for smaller sizes. This was inspired by the life of Robin Williams. I have never been so upset about someone I've never even met before. I think it is because you could just sense that he was a beautiful soul. He was able to captivate audiences in dramatic roles because he was being genuine. He was able to captivate them in comedic roles because he was fun. I think the reason this death in particular is so touching is because I believe that most in America feel like he was a part of our family.
Cut length of round elastic cord 26 inches long.
written instructions. Each size tested three fold. Enjoy!
I created this hat for my mother in law. I wanted something textured and something fun that she would wear. What I ended up with was something I would even wear!


It may not be as sure as death and taxes, but most of us aging baby boomers will be hearing those four little words, �you need reading glasses� from your eye care physician. What has happened to your perfect vision? Even if you were used to wearing glasses, it still can happen. This natural loss of vision making it difficult to read is called presbyopia. It may be time for bifocals if you already have a vision problem, but what if you have never worn glasses and all of a sudden you find yourself with arms too short? Reading glasses are the solution for you. You may have seen some in the drug stores, you know, those funny little glasses hanging next to the counter. They have different magnifications or plus powers that allow your eye to see close up again. If you are new to the eyeglasses world, you might want to be careful the first time you put them on. They can make you a little dizzy because most of the world out there will be blurry. They are just as the name implies; glasses for reading. Some people have problems walking and definitely don�t drive in them. You should also know that reading glasses characteristically focus in on a specific thing. When you look at a paper in front of you, you won�t be able to see clearly twelve to sixteen inches from the paper. This can also be tricky to adjust to. If this really is a problem for you, talk to your eye care physician about other things you can do.
Some people that are already wearing contact lenses can have this feature built in their lens. They get along quite well with this alternating vision. You can look straight ahead for distance, and then down to read. These lenses might be shaped a little differently with a flat portion being closest to the lower lid, or it may be weighted. This stops the contact from rotating so your vision doesn�t get blurry. As you can imagine, the fitting of this lens is different from the regular contact lenses and will take some adaptation. Simultaneous contacts allow you to see distant and near objects at the same time. The vision distances are in rings of the contact instead of top and bottom. Monovision lenses have one lens focused for distance and the other focused on near vision. These are less expensive, but aren�t for everyone. No matter which type of contact lens you choose, there will be some type of adjustment period, so be patient with yourself. Accept the fact that you just need a little help reading the hottest new best seller. You can still look fabulous while doing it.

It's love data week starting Monday 15th February. I like playing with data but am so better at finding interesting ways to visualise it than I am at interpreting it!
As of the 6th of February, more people in Britain have died with a COVID diagnosis than the entire population of Ealing.
The data that impacts all of our lives right now is the UK COVID statistics. Helpfully, these are available from an API. My first idea for this data was to try to find a way for the numbers to land with people in an emotional way. I hit on the idea of showing milestones in UK COVID deaths in terms of city populations, getting the data from DBPedia. However this was a bit sparse so I expanded it to any "UK settlement of 1000 or more". Sadly, we were already past that threshold when I wrote it. You can see my COVID cities tool on the web, and the code is available from GitHub.
I thought a lot about how R is a terrible value for public understanding. R=0.9 good, R=1.1 bad. It's a measure of change in scale but not in a format anybody uses in their daily lives. I figured the one place the public are comfortable with exponential growth rates is mortgages so a clearer number would be, say, (R-1)*100 which would give a +/- percentage of new cases per case. But R is also very difficult to relate to what's going on and what's likely to happen next. It also really matters what the current number of cases are. Occasional spikes in R when there's 10 cases a day isn't a big concern. When there's 1000 cases a day it really is. So after a lot of though I've made a visualisation that shows things I think are more useful for public understanding of what's going on with COVID.
My COVID projection page shows the data I think is useful. The grey barchart is the 7 day averaged number of cases. The green & red bar is the daily change (this is very smoothed out by working out the weekly change in the 7 day average and converting that to a daily change. I think this is a really good indicator of when things were getting worse and better rather than the case numbers themselves. To make the recent values visible I truncated the really big growth from earlier in the year so it didn't skew the scale too much.
Next I wrote a function to work out how long it is taking cases to double or halve. I think this is a really good way to explain why the virus is different to cancer. This virus can double in cases every three days which sounds more like a loan shark than a mortgage. Writing this equation meant that I used log() for the first time in a really long time!
The final column is what I think of as the "EEEP!" factor. It projects today's cases (not the 7 day average) by the current growth rate for 28 days and sees where we're heading for if things don't change. For this to be a concern cases have to be high AND increasing. I think that EEEP! factor is good for showing why lockdowns were needed.
The final feature I added is to mark weekends and the national lockdowns and other events – although this is complicated buy the fact that NI, Wales, England & Scotland may not quite be doing the same thing as each other.
You can see that lockdowns followed peaks in the "EEEP!" factor, although lockdown #2 was several weeks after Eeeeep #2.
What it does show is that contrary to what you'd believe from my Facebook feed, there was a sustained fall in cases for many weeks after the Cummings incident. It makes it very visible when lockdowns started working and it does show a few notable spikes in the rate of increase – red peaks in the red/green column, which suggest something caused them in the days or weeks before hand.
Notable peaks in the rate of increase were July 8th, September 12th, October 9th, December 22nd, Jan 4th. I'm tempted to correlate Schools and Universities reopening and Christmas to explain the Sept, Oct and Jan peaks but correlation/causation and all that. I have no guess at what caused the spikes in July & December. Any ideas?
I'm not an expert at interpreting data so please don't quote my interpretations of this data as a source of truth!
[UPDATE: I got inspired this morning to add a new column, "Doublings" which shows how many times cases have to halve to get back to 1 case. Obviously by that point cases from borders will be more of an issue that community transmission, but it's sobering to see that with lockdown it takes two weeks to halve and to get to 1 case would take exactly half a year, so mid-August. Hopefully Summer and vaccines will change this picture]

Would be interesting to do this with hospitalisations rather than cases. Is that data available anywhere?

That data is available from the API. I'll see how hard it is to add an option.
Turns out it was really easy to add.

Sleep apnea is the involuntary cessation of breathing during sleep. It affects over 18 million Americans today and puts them at risk for other life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. A recent study by the Mayo Clinic has found that sleep apnea also has a strong connection with the eyes. The experts at Beach Eye Medical Group are well aware of the devastating effects that sleep apnea can have on the eyes. This is why they are committed to helping sleep apnea clients living in Huntington Beach and Irvine keep their eyes healthy!
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a type of sleep apnea that is characterized by the relaxing of throat muscles that eventually lead to the blocking of the airway. When left untreated, repeated air deprivation can lead to the development of diseases that affect the circulatory system, such as hypertension. When the circulatory system is compromised, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs is also affected.
Being a highly vascular organ, the eyes are dependent on a steady supply of blood and nutrients. Beach Eye Medical Group has successfully treated many sleep apnea clients living in Huntington Beach and Irvine, California. Our well-trained doctors and healthcare team have helped them minimize the effects of OSA in their lives.
There is a strong correlation between sleep apnea and glaucoma since the former is caused by high pressure within the eye. Studies have found that the severity of the glaucoma is directly related to the duration of apnea episodes in patients with OSA.
Non-arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) is the sudden, painless loss of vision in one eye. Surprisingly, researchers have found that up to 80% of patients diagnosed with NAION also have sleep apnea.
Papilledema is the swelling of the optic nerve. It is caused by an increase in the pressure within the skull and if unchecked, may lead to blindness. Papilledema is also a common finding among patients living with OSA.
Glaucoma, NAION and Papilledema are just some of the serious eye conditions that can stem from mismanaging your sleep apnea. Beach Eye Medical Group has seen hundreds of patients with sleep apnea and helped them stay on top of their eye health. Located in Huntington Beach and Irvine, CA, Beach Eye Medical Group is managed by well-trained ophthalmologists and surgeons and is equipped with the latest technology and equipment in the field of eye care.
Living with sleep apnea can be dangerous to your health. This is why it is important for you to get in touch with our professionals and set-up an appointment today. Remember, prevention is always better than cure.

Every year since 2005, Booz & Company has conducted the Global Innovation 1000 study, which investigates the relationship between how much companies spend on R&D and their overall financial performance. And every year, we reinforce the conclusion that there is no correlation between the two. Our findings and further analysis of what makes the most successful innovators great led The Economist to call the Global Innovation 1000 "the most comprehensive assessment of the relationship between R&D investment and corporate performance," and Tom Peters praised it as a "provocative, research-based article that is sure to get you thinking."
Since its inception, the study has been mentioned in more than 150 publications in 27 countries, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times. In 2007, we received the Special Achievement Award for Advancing the Innovation Dialog from Innovate Forum, and in 2008 the Product Development & Management Association presented us with its Best of Visions award. And we were privileged to present the study's results to the National Academy of Sciences & Engineering.
Since its inception, the study has included an analysis of corporate R&D by industry — the healthcare and software & internet sectors consistently spend the greatest proportion of their sales on R&D — and on global trends in innovation. Over the years, we have expanded the scope of the study to include critical issues such as the importance of customer-driven innovation and the recession's effect on R&D spending. Every year, the study has produced quantifiable insights and invaluable lessons for helping companies make more productive use of the R&D dollars they spend.
Succeeding at innovation requires two key elements: a focused set of innovation capabilities that is carefully tuned to a company's innovation strategy, and the ability to align the innovation strategy with overall corporate strategy. This year's Global Innovation 1000 reveals the capabilities best suited for each innovation strategy, whether it be need seekers, market readers, or technology drivers. Companies that achieve this, and then succeed in aligning their R&D efforts with overall strategy outperform their industry peers in terms of both profit margins and market capitalization growth.

Michiana woman recalls connection with President Obama and first family
By: Andrea Alvarez
Posted: Jan 10, 2017 8:22 PM EST | Updated: Jan 10, 2017 8:31 PM EST
As President Obama prepares for his farewell speech in Chicago, a woman right here in South Bend is prepping for his leave as well. She's a woman who says she's used to having an influence on many people in South Bend. But she told us on Tuesday, it's been president Obama who has been influencing her.
"I was proud to know Barack Obama," said Gladys Muhammad, an Associate Director with the South Bend Heritage Foundation.
When it comes to the President, Gladys Muhammad is one proud American.
"When he won I was.. ugh… elated. And I actually wanted to cry," said Muhammad. She and her sister made sure their father was part of that history.
"My father, he died a couple of years ago, he was 103. And we told my father that Barack Obama was gonna be the president. We took my father down to the County City Building to vote, and said 'you can vote for the first black president' and he said 'Oh no black man is gonna be President of the United States of America'. I said 'Yes he is too'," said Muhammad.
Gladys and her sister were right and Obama was elected.
"My father was alive when he won and… he still didn't believe it. But then he smiled and he said 'Well I'll be darned'," said Muhammad.
Gladys actually met President Obama twice and received several invitations from the first family!
She first met Obama during his first run in 2008 when he made a stop at Washington High School on his "road to change" bus tour.
"I worked on the committee and we were sitting in the audience at Washington High School, and the secret service people came to get me and some more people. And I said 'where are they taking us?' and we went in the back and Barack Obama shook all of our hands," said Muhammad.
She says she met and shook hands with Obama for a second time when he visited Elkhart. Her run-ins with the Obamas didn't stop there.
"I actually got an invitation to go to the inauguration," said Muhammad.
She couldn't make it to the inauguration, but no worries, Gladys received an invitation to attend the first lady's luncheon after that.
"I also was blessed to go to Michelle Obama's luncheon," said Muhammad.
Regardless of those experiences, though, she says she's proud of the fact of who her president was for the last 8 years.
"When he became president I was glad I was alive. It meant that this really could happen… and that it did happen. He was the right person. He believed in ethics and morals and values and all people to be treated right and fair," said Muhammad.

Responder steps down after 20 years serving the community
Silloth First Responders Team leader steps down
By Sam Smedley Reporter
The team on the Silloth Community First Responders stall are, from left, Lori Quayle, team leader Peter Gilmour and Judy Williamson, during the Silloth Green Day event, 26 May 2019 LOUISE PORTER.
One of the founders of a team of first responders has offered a heartfelt message in a plea to recruit more responders.
One of the founding members, Peter Gilmour has worked as part of Silloth first responders since their inception more than 20-years ago has now decided to step down as team leader.
He said: "I have had the honour and have been proud to be a small part of such a great team that is "Silloth First Responders"
"It was back in November 2000 when a small group of us had our first open meeting and we agreed to set the team-up.
"The team started training in January 2001 with the help of Andy Dalton and Steve Cremin (who helped with the team's training in our early years) and after everyone passed their assessment's, the team went live at the start of February and their very first call out not long after.
"In the team's first year on call, they had attended 74 call out's and with the help of the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) and skills gained we had two very good outcomes for two patients.
"I have been the team's Chairman/team coordinator from the start of the team up to date and was to be on call for the first ten years or so.
"This was alongside some very special people who gave up their time to volunteer and to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week or whenever they could help and give cover to the people and visitors to Silloth and the surrounding area.
"I would like to say a "massive thank you" to everyone that has played a part in the team from day one to now."
Sadly, due to his health he had to stop responding on call outs about ten years ago but was proud when his son became a First Responder.
He added: "I cannot believe it's nearly 21 years since we set the team up and went live.
"I would like to thank Owen Martin for taking over as team Leader.
"He's done a great job since the start of Covid in covering and responding to call-outs when possible, and he's made my decision to finish as Team Leader all the easier as I know he will do a great job."
If you are interested in becoming part of the team, please contact the team's Facebook page or if you would like more information, please have a look on the NWAS Responders page.

Gravity seems to have reminded everyone how good an old-fashioned outer space movie can be. The Last Days on Mars adds in some World War Z-style infected monsters to create a classic sci-fi "scientists in peril" plot.
Liev Schreiber (most recently seen in the excellent Showtime series Ray Donovan and playing LBJ in Lee Daniels' The Butler) leads a international cast of actors, some of whom were probably good for some financing because investors believed they'd help the box office in their respective home countries.
Mars is getting one released to iTunes and cable on demand this Halloween before getting a proper theatrical release on December 6th.


You may have fond memories of "analogue" Kiwi school holidays. Days spent unplugged, engaging in life's simple pleasures – playing outside, ice creams, camping trips, playing at the pool or beach and free time with family and friends.
too many devices online at home with outdated internet plans means slow connection times, and a halting, buffering connection.
Concerns about the amount of time kids and teens spend on their digital devices and the impact this could have on their child's development or health.
Safety concerns about content kids and teens are exposed to and who kids interact with online.
The good news is that there are simple steps that you can take today to protect your family online and avoid screen-time stress. Plus, you can upgrade your connection today so that you don't spend another school holiday suffering with a poor broadband connection.
Check out our top tips for protecting children online.
These top broadband providers provide ISP family filter services, along with high speed fibre broadband plans with unlimited data.
Stuff Fibre's SafeZone is included in their broadband plans. SafeZone helps filter out adult content, social media or anything undesirable. There are a range of pre-configured settings that can be customised to suit your family. SafeZone applies to every device connected to your home network.
Orcon's Family Filter service is available from $5 per month. It is a non-intrusive first line of defence against R16+ sites; dating, drugs, gambling; alcohol and tobacco sites; known hacked or infected sites; sites about hacking and illegal activity; and suicide or self-harm site.
Compass' family filter service is available from $5 per month. Compass' CyberGuardian provides parents with a simple to use and adjustable filter over what can be access online.
Choose a broadband provider with a family filtering services. Spend some time before the holidays begin to make sure you understand how your service works and that it is set up correctly.
Have a family discussion with your children / teens and agree realistic and achievable limits around screen time. Make a plan that establishes firm rules about how much time your child can spend with screens, and where, when, what and with whom they can use screen time.
Knowing what your child is doing online can make a big difference – are they spending their time on leisure or learning? Is it age appropriate? Are they active or passive? There are plenty of fun apps that can help children learn or develop important skills like hand-eye coordination, literacy skills, relationship skills and more. Common Sense media review apps, games, website and movies to help parents decide what is appropriate for their children.
Give kids plenty of warning before their screen-time will end. These simple spoken reminders allow kids to prepare themselves for the end of screen-time, and hopefully present a dreaded tech-tantrum.
Ideally, kids should only use screen in public areas of the house like the living room or dining room. Have clear rules about where it is ok to use screens and technology and make bedrooms, bathrooms and play areas tech-free.
One of the easiest ways to limit screen time during the school holidays is to plan tech-free activities each day. Try to plan plenty of opportunities to spent time outside with friends, engaging in physical activity, and outside in nature. We are lucky in New Zealand to have plenty of opportunities to enjoy outdoor spaces, library holiday programmes and community programmes. Plan bush walks, trips to the beach, museum visits, interesting crafts or projects.

Q: How do the the different parts of an ICC file work together? I took apart an ICC file from http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?MunsellCalcHelp.html with a look up table using ICC Profile Inspector.  The ICC file is supposed to convert Lab to Uniform LAB.
The files it outputs include headers, a matrix (3x3 identity matrix), Input and Output curves, and a lookup table.  What do these files mean?  And how are they related to the color transform?
The header contents are:
InputChan: 3
OutputChan: 3
Input_Entries: 258
Output_Entries: 256
Clut_Size: 51

The InputCurves file has entries like:
0 0 0 0
1 256 255 255
2 512 510 510
...
256 65535 65280 65280
257 65535 65535 65535

The OutputCurves file has entries like:
0 0 0 0
1 256 257 257
2 512 514 514
...
254 65024 65278 65278
255 65280 65535 65535

And the lookup table entries look like:
0 0 0 25968
1 0 0 26351
2 0 0 26789
...
132649 65535 65535 49667
132650 65535 65535 50603

I'd like to understand how an input LAB color maps to an output value.  I'm especially confused because a & bvalues can be negative.

A: I believe I understand how this works after skimming through http://www.color.org/specification/ICC1v43_2010-12.pdf
This explination may have some off by 1 errors, but it should be generally correct.
The input values are LAB, and L values are mapped using table 39 & 40 in section 10.8 lut16Type.  Then the 258 values in the input curves are uniformly spaced across those L, a, & b ranges.  The output values are 16 bit, so 0-65535.
The same goes for the CLUT.  There are 51^3 entries (51 was chosen by the ICC file authoer).  Each dimension (L,a,b) is split uniformally across this space as well.  So 0 = 0 & 50 (note 0 - 50 is 51 entries) = 65535 from the previous section.  The first 51 rows are for L =0 and a =0, but incriment b.  Every 51 rows, the a value increses by 1, and every 51*51 rows, the L values increases by 1.
So given L, a, and b values adjusted by the input curves, figure out their index (0-50) and look those up in the CLUT (l_ind*51*51+a_ind*51+b_ind), which will give you 3 more values.
Now the output curves come in.  It's another set of curves that work just like the input curves.  The outputs can then get mapped back using the same values from Tables 39 & 40.

Majuro 25 November 2018 — With next month's annual meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) facing numerous challenges and opportunities to improve fisheries management, the head of the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) said the foundation of success in the region is "rights-based management" that has been implemented by Pacific islands.
$3,000 (USD) cash prize award to one first place winner. The winner's work will be posted on the PNA and Pacifical websites.
$500 (USD) cash prize awards to two runners-up. The runners-ups' work will be posted on the PNA and Pacifical websites.
PNA MSC recertified
Upon receiving news that PNA MSC free-school skipjack and yellowfin fisheries will be recertified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), PNA CEO Ludwig Kumoru responded that it is "great news," but reflected that "It was inconceivable that the Independent Adjudicator ruling could have ever been otherwise. Even so, this is a big weight off our shoulders, not least financially, for our small economies.

Constitution Day in Dominican Republic in 2021
How long until Constitution Day?
Dates of Constitution Day in Dominican Republic
2022 Dominican Republic Mon, Nov 7 National Holiday
2021 Dominican Republic Fri, Nov 5 National Holiday
2019 Dominican Republic Mon, Nov 4 National Holiday (in lieu)
Commemorates the Dominican Republic's first constitution, which was adopted on November 6th 1844.
When is Constitution Day?
Constitution Day is a public holiday in the Dominican Republic on November 6th each year. Until 2011, this public holiday was held on November 6th. Since then, it has been observed on the nearest Monday or Friday to that date, to create a three-day weekend.
This holiday marks the adoption of the country's first Constitution on this day way back in 1844.
History of Constitution Day
1844 was a momentous year for this Caribbean country, which was commonly known as Santo Domingo until the 20th century. In February, the nation had proclaimed its independence from Haiti.
The first Constitution followed on November 6th of that year. It was signed in San Cristóbal, a town near the capital, Santo Domingo. It was modelled on the United States constitution and featured a presidential form of government with many liberal tendencies.
The importance of the Constitution was underlined a year later when an authoritarian regime had the courtesy to adapt the Constitution to reflect their approach to government. Even during the rule of the dictator Rafael Trujillo, he always made sure the Constitution was amended so that he operated within it.
Each of these amendments counted as a new Constitution. This means that the Dominican Republic is currently on its 39th Constitution, a world record.


The Kohl's Cares partnership was a significant component of the Trauma Services Injury Prevention initiative. From 2009 until 2017, the program focused primarily on Bike and Helmet Safety in the community. The Trauma Services department strived to ensure that all injury prevention teaching was provided to the community through monthly events in collaboration with Kohl's stores and various community organizations.
In addition to educating and facilitating safe bike riding for both the children and their families, the Kohl's Cares partnership allowed us to incorporate a more structured educational component by providing helmets to children in need, as well as educational coloring and activity books, informational brochures, pencils and stickers.
Parents were provided with educational brochures/hand-outs on Bike and Helmet Safety for their children and as guidelines for themselves. The Kohl's Associates in Action team assised the Trauma Services team with measuring and fitting the children for helmets and choosing the correct helmet for each child. Our educational materials included activities that range from identifying hazards to ensuring safety by applying preventive measures. During our monthly events, parents were encouraged to complete sign-in forms and safety questionnaires so that they may be contacted for safety follow-up and notified about future events.
Since 2009, Kohl's has donated over one million to Nicklaus Children's Hospital safety initiative made possible through the company's Kohl's Cares® program. Through this initiative, Kohl's sells $5 books and soft toys, where 100 percent of net profit benefits children's health initiatives nationwide, including hospital partnerships like this one. Kohl's has raised nearly $300 million through this merchandise program. Through Kohl's volunteer program, more than 1,100,000 associates have donated more than 3.7 million hours of their time since 2001, and Kohl's has donated more than $112 million to youth-focused nonprofit organizations. For more information, visit www.Kohls.com/Cares.
Riding a bike is a very fun and healthy activity. It is important to always remember to wear a helmet and follow proper bike safety. We have provided the materials below for personal use to help you learn about bike and helmet safety.

Arizona high court won't review child welfare worker firings
Law_Crime

By BOB CHRISTIE - Associated Press - Tuesday, May 16, 2017
PHOENIX (AP) - An Arizona Supreme Court decision not to review a ruling upholding the firings of five social workers who said they were made scapegoats has put an end to a 2013 scandal that enveloped the state's former Child Protective Services agency.
The high court in a brief order Monday declined to review a Court of Appeals decision that said the five women were at-will employees not protected by state civil service law.
"I'm deeply disappointed for these very nice ladies, but not surprised and not prepared to be critical of the Supreme Court," their attorney, Terry Woods, said Tuesday. "I thought the Court of Appeals ruling wasn't so good, but I understand the Supreme Court operates differently."
The five senior agency workers were fired months after the November 2013 discovery that thousands of child abuse hotline calls were labeled as not worthy of being investigated. The agency was then shuttered and a new Department of Child Safety was created.
The workers' lawsuit said they were top employees chosen to help review inactive cases under a plan devised by their superiors to try to cut down on a crushing caseload for field workers.
They said they were only following orders to go through thousands of cases and chose those to be investigated and those that could be closed. A deputy director of Child Protective Services' parent agency also was fired for approving their plan and did not sue.
The five women - Deborah Harper, Tracey Everitt, Michelle Parker, Jana Leineweber and Janet Sabol - claimed they were turned into scapegoats and sought unspecified monetary damages. The deputy director did not did not sue.
Their work became the subject of a statewide scandal in November 2013 when the head of the agency's criminal investigations unit, Greg McKay, followed up on a hotline report case that was never investigated and discovered thousands more.
About 6,000 cases of suspected child abuse or neglect reported to the hotline in the four years before the discovery were never investigated. It took more than a year for a new team to review all those cases, and they found that more than 400 children were removed from their homes after follow-up reports or investigations.
A team led made up of the five fired workers agency improperly designated the cases "N.I." - meaning "Not Investigated" - to help manage the heavy workload and focus on the most severe cases, agency officials said at the time. Under state law, all reports generated via the hotline must be investigated.
The scandal led to the agency's demise and the creation of the Department of Child Safety, now led by McKay.
The ex-Child Protective Services employees argued their terminations were the result of a scheme to provide political cover to then-Gov. Jan Brewer and Clarence Carter, who headed the Department of Economic Security.
The workers argued they were illegally fired for political reasons and not because they failed at their jobs. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Robert Oberbillig dismissed the case, saying state law allowed the firings even if they were scapegoats for others' actions.
Woods pointed to Arizona's employment laws, which limit fired workers' ability to seek help from the courts.
Many state employees lost civil service protections after then-Gov. Jan Brewer championed an overhaul of the state merit system protections through the Legislature in 2012. Between 2015 and December, about 500 workers at the state's largest agency, the Department of Economic Security, were fired.
Changes would be needed at the Legislature to stop alleged abuses Woods said led to his clients' firings.
"It's a thankless job being a social worker, because all you deal with is broken this and broken that," he said. "These were cream of the crop ladies. I'm just disappointed we couldn't help them."

Brady & Rudy get presents!
Foster mom Christine says that the duo pair of Brady and Rudy are finally settling down and wanted to thank Brady and Rudy's secret admirers!! All of their favorite items came today!
Since Rudy had some dental work, foster mom is holding onto the dinosaur chew toy until he gets better. But they both sure look happy.
Here are some photos of Vic & Bruno supervising dinner preparation last night. Bruno is obsessed with food, and Vic is obsessed with balls. Everyone has been sniffing through the gates at each other, and I let my dominant female meet the boys today. It went VERY well. She likes Bruno best, Vic hardly got a sniff.
Thank you so much Chris Cassner for taking these beautiful boys into your home!
Roxy (our NEBTR adoptee) and her brother Mugsy can't wait for Halloween.
We finally found a chewy treat that Patsy can enjoy for a long time. She so loves her treats!!
This is her video. It says it all.
NEBTR Tee Shirts - CORRECTION - Last Day to Order!
Two more shopping days left!!!
Vic and Bruno's foster mom has settled any food issues that have existed in the past with these two boys. They needed some training when it came to food time. This is the first step of their journey toward getting them ready for their forever families.
Fostering is so important and so rewarding and we give Vic and Bruno's foster mom, Chris, big kudos for catching and correcting this issue early on.
Hello everyone! Just a quick update on Sherry! She's doing we'll and loving life! I took her back to the vet yesterday and she is now on a two week antibiotic course for an infection on her lip. The vet said it's quite common. She's had this since I got her and I was cleaning it multiple times daily and using an ointment and so on and so forth and it would clear up but come back after about a week from her digging at it. As it turns out the vet believes it is due to allergies and her continually irritating that spot in specific. She she it should clear up quickly and told me to put Sherry on Benedryl to see if it helps with the allergies. She thinks its most likely due to the season and outdoors but it if continues during winter then we have to start testing for food allergies.
In other news, Sherry has lost almost two pounds!!! She looks great and has so much energy! The vet was very impressed. She now weighs in at 21.5 pounds! I've also noticed a significant difference in her skin and coat as well. She use to shed like crazy and she had very dry, flaky skin and now she's shiny and silky and hardly sheds at all. She's such a happy girl! She loves hiding and burying my other dogs toys on them :) She still does need to be separated from my resident dogs but she will often play through the gate with my Boston and lately I've witnessed a few play bows which is HUGE for her! She's good with my ten year old toy fox terrier because he couldn't be more uninterested in her so the two of them can be trusted together as long as there isn't food involved. She's only had one instance where she chased him away from her food bowl. She didn't attack him but she made it very clear to stay away from her stuff. That's all for now!
We think Kristy is a great foster mom for baking cupcakes for her girls! Cleo and her foster sister both had birthdays this week so she made them some dog friendly cupcakes (or pupcakes). All it takes is 1 pupcake, 2 girls who smell the pupcake and then the "chow down"!
Looks like think they enjoyed them.
I cut the recipe waaayyy down so that it only made 4 small ones and I stacked 2 together.
We then decorated the top with a few doggie treats and a little extra peanut butter.
Cleo ate hers like she had stolen it and we were going to take it from her while my Lucy politely nibbled hers off of her plate. They are so opposite it cracks me up!
I wish Cleo could relax around food more. She always seems to think she has to inhale everything or else some one is going to take it away."
Here is Bruno getting some play time. He loves these big stuffed toys!
Look at Rudy and Brady - they are so proud of their new harnesses, they wanted to model for everyone. Aren't they cute?!!
Hi I Stewie. I.m almost 9 months old and my foster Mom says I'm adorable. I'm still working on housetraining but I haven't had an accident in almost 2 weeks so Im. almost there. I'm still kind of in the chewing stage too so my foster Mom and Dad watch me like a hawk when I'm chasing my foster brother around the dining room table. When my foster brother gets tired out my foster Dad is always ready to play my favorite games, tug and fetch. My foster Mom told me she is going to find a great home for me with a brother or sister around my age that likes to rough house as much as I do. She says I'd do best in a home without young children (12+). We don't know how I am with cats but I do like to chase squirrels in the yard. I love to snuggle with my family on the sofa and sleep in bed with them every night so I would really like my new family to have that in common with me.
Thanks to Lisa Vaughan for fostering Smokey and to Stacie Kyle for making this beautiful video!
Now let's find Smokey a forever home of his own!
As soon as she came in from her morning potty break she dug herself a little cave in her blanket and went back to bed.
I can't blame her. That looks really comfy!!
Little update on former foster...now failed foster and adopted happy BT Popeye, now Cusie.
"We have had a fun year with our new boy. Cusie came to us underweight, sick, frightened, and possibly abused. In the last 3 months he has really come out of his shell and his personality is charming. He is super sweet and loves meeting new people.
He has had so many new experiences this past year. We travel quite frequently but going camping this summer was the highlight. He is just pure joy to watch swimming and splashing-he is a total water boy! He has a brother, Boston, and the two are the bestest of buds. We are so blessed to give this little guy the life that all souls deserve to live.
I took Brady and Rudy to the vet today for their first checkup since the were surrendered to me on Sat. they did really well. Rudy weighs 26.8 lbs. and Brady weighs 24.4 lbs.
Rudy, being the older dog, has some dental issues with his teeth in the way back. heavy tarter and gum inflammation and he may need to have some teeth extracted. he also has a heart murmur. some allergy issues too. but that was about it. he is up to date on all his shots so he didn't need the titer test. stool sample was negative for worms. he is getting neutered on Thursday.
Brady, the younger of the 2, was a little antsy but did well also. he got the titer test done as he was due for some vaccines. he got a grade a report from the vet. he is also going to be neutered on Thursday.
The Boston on the left sure can!
Here is sweet Augie just hanging out.
Just a quick update on the little guy. Augie is doing well except the rash on his tummy is back and as he is already on Benedryl I will try a couple of diet changes. & if needed go to the vet.

Ok, the funniest thing happened tonight with Marty. My son Jonathan had just finished taking a bath and was training the tub when Marty came in the bathroom and proceeded to investigate the water in the tub. Then he JUMPED IN!!! I was laughing so hard i had tears coming down. So i ran some more water and gave him a unscheduled bath. he stayed in the whole time, Has anyone else's Boston ever done this???? Now i have a nice clean Boston!!
Here's the handsome man catching some rays!
I was trying to get his brindle markings - can you see them?
Thank God for my dog. As insane and odd as she may be, somehow she manages to keep me sane.....well, as close to it as possible.
What a wonderful happily ever after for these two! They met in foster care with Cynthia and Craig Musselman, became bonded, and were adopted by Diane Kratz as a pair. A wonderful success story! And look how happy they are!
Brady and Rudy are Here!
Patsy says - Thank you NEBTR for all presents!

GARCIA, Caroline; GALINDO, Dolores e LEITE, José Carlos. Reencenação como experimento em política, ciência e psicologia: Bergson e Einsten sobre o tempo. Rev. Polis Psique [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp. 237-262. ISSN 2238-152X. http://dx.doi.org/10.22456/2238-152X.75038.
In this essay we argue that the adoption of reenactment as a methodological experiment allows a dramatic one that articulates unexpected effects to theoretical debates that, from the point of view of the History of Sciences, would be closed, producing rearticulations between politics, Science and Psychology. In order to approach re-enactment as a methodological resource, we take as a thread the debate about Bergson and Einstein about time.. The debate between Bergson and Einstein in 1922 about time, in which the former would have emerged as the defeated protagonist, without referring to the solutions already instituted on the controversies is an important methodological clue to avoid polarization and to get through the effects of the notion of time in the present. The perspective of the actor-network theory on the study of controversies allows to recover the epic debate of 1922 and to reinvent it by means of the reenactment, therefore, in bringing the conception of network like flows, circulations, alliances, movements, instead of referring to A crystallized entity, gives way to reenactment as a thinking device.

enginehistory.org :: View topic - CHRYSLER IV-2220 V-16 ENGINE.
Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 00:39 Post subject: CHRYSLER IV-2220 V-16 ENGINE.
There's not a lot of info on this fascinating motor in the lterature. However, members can learn quite a lot by going to the US Patent Office website at www.uspto.gov (Click 'patents'; click 'search'; click 'number search') and typing in 2468976.
This should bring up a fifteen page document describing the IV-2220 written by the designers, Alexander Herreshoff & Wade Lamb in 1942 entitled, "An Inverted V-type Engine."
The five pages of drawings are very useful in understanding this (overly?) complex engine and they include a good T.S. of the engine and a very good L.S. of the central region to show the central power take-off gearing.
The engine was characterized by the number of complicated castings used for the crankcase and cylinder heads, all designed, as the authors explain, to ensure rigidity for such a long engine.
Of the text, it is really only necessary to print out the first five pages unless you particularly want to read the endless "Claims"!
Does anyone know of any other sources of detailed info on this engine?
