<br />
When more households self-respond to the census, census takers will have fewer households to visit. It has never been easier to respond to the census on your own, whether online at <a href="https://2020census.gov/en.html" target=_new>2020census.gov</a>, over the phone, or by mail. More than 95 million households in the country have responded on their own so far!<br />

See <a href="https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates/nrfu.html" target=_new>the state response rates</a>. NY is 60.3% self-responding, plus 12.0% in NRFU, or 72.3%. </b> <br />

As the U.S. Census Bureau continues to monitor the impacts COVID-19 has on 2020 Census operations, changes to operations are being deployed to ensure the safety of staff and the public while maximizing the number of households that respond on their own to the 2020 Census.</div>

“We are taking steps and adapting our operations to make sure everyone is counted while keeping everyone safe,” said Census Bureau Director Dr. Steven Dillingham. “Our commitment to a complete and accurate 2020 Census is absolute. In this challenging environment, we are deploying these tactics to make sure we reach every household in every community. If you haven’t responded, the time to respond is now! Responding to the 2020 Census online, on paper, by phone, or in-person with a census taker, helps secure vital resources for your community.”</div>

In order to supplement our capabilities to send census takers to households in person, the Census Bureau is training census takers to follow up with households by phone. Using information provided to the Census Bureau and third-party purchased data, the Census Bureau has a strong contact list for both landlines and cellphones assigned to houses on the Census Bureau’s address list. These phone calls will enable the Census Bureau to have maximum flexibility for conducting field operations and is one more method that census takers can use to reach nonresponding households. If a voicemail is available, the census taker will leave a message asking the household to call one of the Census Bureau’s call centers.</div>

<br />
The Census Bureau is cutting short critical door-knocking efforts for the 2020 census amid growing concerns among Democrats in Congress that the White House is pressuring the bureau to wrap up counting soon for political gain.<br />
<br />
Attempts by the bureau's workers to conduct in-person interviews for the census will end on Sept. 30 — not Oct. 31, the end date it indicated back in April would be necessary in order to count every person living in the U.S. given major setbacks from the coronavirus pandemic. Three Census Bureau employees, who were informed of the plans during separate internal meetings Thursday, confirmed the new end date with NPR. All of the employees spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of losing their jobs.<br />
<br />
"It's going to be impossible to complete the count in time," says one of the bureau employees, an area manager who oversees local census offices. "I'm very fearful we're going to have a massive undercount."<br />
<br />
Asked why and when the decision was made to move up the end of door-knocking, the Census Bureau replied in a written statement on Friday: "We are currently evaluating our operations to enable the Census Bureau to provide this data in the most expeditious manner and when those plans have been finalized we will make an announcement."<br />
<br />
About 4 out of 10 households nationwide have still not participated in the constitutionally mandated count of every person living in the U.S., and self-response rates are even lower in many communities.</b>Roger Owen Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459332441629702006.post-66711029351721806532020-07-30T03:19:00.000-04:002020-07-30T03:19:00.190-04:00Census response rates in communities of color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiDC0GwU874K6_8dOtAcSMtpTpZAqHhnXOa88JbChh9xwoOFmRqQALucfkwkiRXWjna9N9diFdrufhmjziUDj0Ju3Ulhcr3R5roTS5YegctdLg2QBKuTNPcSvjg4FhYLVTqEx4iwCy2EuF/s1600/census2020-storyimage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiDC0GwU874K6_8dOtAcSMtpTpZAqHhnXOa88JbChh9xwoOFmRqQALucfkwkiRXWjna9N9diFdrufhmjziUDj0Ju3Ulhcr3R5roTS5YegctdLg2QBKuTNPcSvjg4FhYLVTqEx4iwCy2EuF/s320/census2020-storyimage.jpg" width="320" height="180" data-original-width="800" data-original-height="450" /></a></div><b>From <a href="https://headwaterseconomics.org/equity/census-response/" target=_new>Headwaters</a>:<br />
<br />
The results of the census are important because they determine political representation and allocation of federal funding, but people are being undercounted. Residents are more likely to be undercounted if they are hard to find in dense urban or remote rural areas, are experiencing homelessness, have technological or language barriers, or mistrust the government and don’t want to participate.<br />
<br />
The 2020 Census is complicated by the coronavirus pandemic. In-person visits by census workers have been delayed. Many hard-to-count groups are also those who suffer more severe health and economic impacts from coronavirus.<br />
<br />
A disproportionate number of those who are not counted are people of color: Asian-Americans, Blacks, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native Americans.<br />
<br />
Every 10 years the U.S. Census Bureau attempts to count the U.S. population. The results determine policymaking and planning for the following decade, including:<br />
<br />
Distribution of federal tax dollars for health, education, housing, and infrastructure programs. These include Medicaid, the National School Lunch Program, Head Start, special education grants, and highway construction.<br />
Planning for new hospitals, schools, and roads.<br />
Disaster response.<br />
The number of congresspeople that a state can send to the U.S. House of Representatives.<br />
The number of Electoral College votes for each state.<br />
Boundaries for state and local voting districts.<br />

<br />
Millions of emails will be sent this week and then grow in numbers and continue into September. These emails supplement a final campaign reminding people to respond to the 2020 Census on their own, as census takers begin <a href="https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2020/nonresponding-households-follow-up.html" target=_new>asking households to respond</a> to the census.<br />
<br />
The messages alert households in low-response areas that time is running out and their response to the 2020 Census is important for their communities. The email messages will invite people to respond online at <a href="https://2020census.gov/" target=_new>2020census.gov</a>.<br />
<br />
People who receive the email and haven’t already responded should click on the link provided and complete the census online. It’s easy, safe, and important.<br />
<br />
The emails will go to all households that the Census Bureau has contact information for in census block groups with a response rate lower than 50%. This will include households who may have already responded. In total, the Census Bureau expects to email more than 20 million households in these low-responding areas.<br />
<br />
The email messages will come from 2020census@subscriptions.census.gov and will give recipients the option to opt out of receiving future messages. The Census Bureau is also considering sending text messages to areas that have a low response. <br />
<br />
The Census Bureau’s recent success with contacting households by email to participate in the Household Pulse Survey prompted the agency to add these methods to support the 2020 Census. This contact method will help increase response rates and reduce the need for in-person follow-up.<br />
<br />
The Census Bureau is continuing to review the use of text messages and will make an announcement prior to deploying that outreach. In addition to emailing households, the Census Bureau is increasing other outreach efforts during one last push to encourage everyone to respond to the census online, by phone or by mail. The Census Bureau recently announced that it has launched Mobile Questionnaire Assistance, a program that offers assistance with responding at locations such as grocery stores and pharmacies in low-responding areas.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the Census Bureau has expanded its paid advertising—launching a series of new advertisements aimed at increasing online response and expanding to a total of 45 non-English languages receiving some level of paid media support.<br />
<br />
Households have until October 31 to respond to the 2020 Census. However, census takers have begun following up with households that haven’t responded yet in select areas and will begin following up with households nationwide in August.<b></b>Roger Owen Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459332441629702006.post-79976913730820698982020-07-29T08:17:00.002-04:002020-07-29T08:17:55.434-04:00State Agency Databases Project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu-M4oxyg88d2CabDBPCi9-Oe8XpLsG5dPCzb5ODCLu_wBijTA5xUvETnok0eM6G0RDOGeTa-p1HhkY8Pzr0-b_dZfFoPL56jhj3BeCPqEUS2mtcxp3YBBrxMjPdHOZJoNb_vJritSIqAJ/s1600/onlinedatabases.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu-M4oxyg88d2CabDBPCi9-Oe8XpLsG5dPCzb5ODCLu_wBijTA5xUvETnok0eM6G0RDOGeTa-p1HhkY8Pzr0-b_dZfFoPL56jhj3BeCPqEUS2mtcxp3YBBrxMjPdHOZJoNb_vJritSIqAJ/s400/onlinedatabases.jpg" width="400" height="226" data-original-width="296" data-original-height="167" /></a></div>From <a href="https://godort.libguides.com/statedatabases" target=_new>GODORT</a>:<br />

Trump Sued Over Attempt To Omit Unauthorized Immigrants From A Key Census Count<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE, July 21, 2020<br />
<br />
SUBJECT: Excluding Illegal Aliens From the Apportionment Base Following the 2020 Census<br />
<br />
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:<br />
<br />
Section 1. Background. In order to apportion Representatives among the States, the Constitution requires the enumeration of the population of the United States every 10 years and grants the Congress the power and discretion to direct the manner in which this decennial census is conducted (U.S. Const. art. I, sec. 2, cl. 3). The Congress has charged the Secretary of Commerce (the Secretary) with directing the conduct of the decennial census in such form and content as the Secretary may determine (13 U.S.C. 141(a)). By the direction of the Congress, the Secretary then transmits to the President the report of his tabulation of total population for the apportionment of Representatives in the Congress (13 U.S.C. 141(b)). The President, by law, makes the final determination regarding the “whole number of persons in each State,” which determines the number of Representatives to be apportioned to each State, and transmits these determinations and accompanying census data to the Congress (2 U.S.C. 2a(a)). The Congress has provided that it is “the President’s personal transmittal of the report to Congress” that “settles the apportionment” of Representatives among the States, and the President’s discretion to settle the apportionment is more than “ceremonial or ministerial” and is essential “to the integrity of the process” (Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 799, and 800 (1992)).<br />
<br />
The Constitution does not specifically define which persons must be included in the apportionment base. Although the Constitution requires the “persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed,” to be enumerated in the census, that requirement has never been understood to include in the apportionment base every individual physically present within a State’s boundaries at the time of the census. Instead, the term “persons in each State” has been interpreted to mean that only the “inhabitants” of each State should be included. Determining which persons should be considered “inhabitants” for the purpose of apportionment requires the exercise of judgment. For example, aliens who are only temporarily in the United States, such as for business or tourism, and certain foreign diplomatic personnel are “persons” who have been excluded from the apportionment base in past censuses. Conversely, the Constitution also has never been understood to exclude every person who is not physically “in” a State at the time of the census. For example, overseas Federal personnel have, at various times, been included in and excluded from the populations of the States in which they maintained their homes of record. The discretion delegated to the executive branch to determine who qualifies as an “inhabitant” includes authority to exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status.<br />
<br />
In Executive Order 13880 of July 11, 2019 (Collecting Information About Citizenship Status in Connection With the Decennial Census), I instructed executive departments and agencies to share information with the Department of Commerce, to the extent permissible and consistent with law, to allow the Secretary to obtain accurate data on the number of citizens, non-citizens, and illegal aliens in the country. As the Attorney General and I explained at the time that order was signed, data on illegal aliens could be relevant for the purpose of conducting the apportionment, and we intended to examine that issue.<br />
<br />
Sec. 2. Policy. For the purpose of the reapportionment of Representatives following the 2020 census, it is the policy of the United States to exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), to the maximum extent feasible and consistent with the discretion delegated to the executive branch. Excluding these illegal aliens from the apportionment base is more consonant with the principles of representative democracy underpinning our system of Government. Affording congressional representation, and therefore formal political influence, to States on account of the presence within their borders of aliens who have not followed the steps to secure a lawful immigration status under our laws undermines those principles. Many of these aliens entered the country illegally in the first place. Increasing congressional representation based on the presence of aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status would also create perverse incentives encouraging violations of Federal law. States adopting policies that encourage illegal aliens to enter this country and that hobble Federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws passed by the Congress should not be rewarded with greater representation in the House of Representatives. Current estimates suggest that one State is home to more than 2.2 million illegal aliens, constituting more than 6 percent of the State’s entire population. Including these illegal aliens in the population of the State for the purpose of apportionment could result in the allocation of two or three more congressional seats than would otherwise be allocated.<br />
<br />
I have accordingly determined that respect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President’s discretion under the law.<br />
<br />
Sec. 3. Excluding Illegal Aliens from the Apportionment Base. In preparing his report to the President under section 141(b) of title 13, United States Code, the Secretary shall take all appropriate action, consistent with the Constitution and other applicable law, to provide information permitting the President, to the extent practicable, to exercise the President’s discretion to carry out the policy set forth in section 2 of this memorandum. The Secretary shall also include in that report information tabulated according to the methodology set forth in Final 2020 Census Residence Criteria and Residence Situations, 83 Fed. Reg. 5525 (Feb. 8, 2018).<br />
<br />
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this memorandum shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:<br />
<br />
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or<br />
<br />
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.<br />
<br />
(b) This memorandum shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.<br />
<br />
(c) This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.<br />

The rise in animosity was stoked by fiery anti-Muslim rhetoric from conservative commentators and politicians... Trump repeatedly has described Islam as a threat, retweeting anti-Muslim videos from a British hate group and keeping his distance from the religion, like when he decided the White House, for the first time in more than two decades, would not host a dinner to mark Ramadan.<br />
<br />
In reaction to feeling targeted, Muslims are getting political. Groups such as the Pluralism Project are supporting and training dozens of Muslim candidates in Maryland alone to run for office. A hijab-wearing Somali-American woman now sits in the House of Representatives in Minnesota; a Muslim man is running for governor of Michigan. There are two Muslims in Congress and more running in this year’s elections.<br />
<br />
Muslims in the United States are a racially and ethnically diverse group—and a growing one, despite a recent rise in anti-Muslim hostility. From dozens of different countries and representing multiple branches of their faith, Muslims now total about 3.45 million people, or one percent of the U.S. population. With roots dating back to the 16th century, the Muslim population is currently growing faster in suburbs than in cities, especially in southern and western regions. There are now more than 2,100 mosques in the U.S., up from 962 in 1994.<br />

<br />
Asking questions is key to good communication with your doctor. If you don't ask questions, he or she may assume you already know the answer or that you don't want more information. <br />
<br />
Don't wait for the doctor to raise a specific question or subject; he or she may not know it's important to you. Be proactive. Ask questions when you don't know the meaning of a word (like aneurysm, hypertension, or infarct) or when instructions aren't clear (for example, does taking medicine with food mean before, during, or after a meal?).<br />
<br />
Sometimes, doctors need to do blood tests, x-rays, or other procedures to find out what is wrong or to learn more about your medical condition. Some tests, such as Pap tests, mammograms, glaucoma tests, and screenings for prostate and colorectal cancer, are done regularly to check for hidden medical problems.<br />
<br />
Before having a medical test, ask your doctor to explain why it is important, what it will show, and what it will cost. Ask what kind of things you need to do to prepare for the test. For example, you may need to have an empty stomach, or you may have to provide a urine sample. Ask how you will be notified of the test results and how long they will take to come in.<br />

The September report’s key findings are that 1) the labor force for New York State has been decreasing and 2) there has been a surge in participation of older individuals (65+ years and older) in the labor force.<br />
<br />
This white paper will discuss Finding 1, which is notably prevalent in 5 of the 10 Economic Development Regions. Additionally, this white paper will discuss Finding 2 by exploring changes in population growth and labor force shares of “aged-out”prime working age individuals (65+). Unlike the September 2017 report, this paper has a focus on examining labor force trends by Economic Development Region.<br />

<br />
There is no doubt that car technology has moved from one level to another quite dramatically and Google today has come out with the much talked about self-driven cars.<br />
<br />
No one would have given too much importance to self-driven cars a few years back. However, we are today on the threshold of coming out with the first self-driven cars. <br />
<br />
It certainly is a major and path-breaking technological breakthrough and it might take the world by storm in the years to come. Yes, there certainly would be the need for a strong car battery.Roger Owen Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459332441629702006.post-85058902390684922742018-02-05T17:43:00.001-05:002018-02-05T17:43:59.093-05:00Best Portable CD Player 2018<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0sJunma3WnRzrwyeAy_bb9YIGttmk-XUy4QtEfa4B4AwU881HiVZresnFL6PbsljdXRkGgt1Qs3UVyL-22HM6EBlI4YnS02XT-uoy84cvPFeLBdvgoStWzQYDgjYnRJRrnNzNe8Vcsqi/s1600/portableCDplayer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0sJunma3WnRzrwyeAy_bb9YIGttmk-XUy4QtEfa4B4AwU881HiVZresnFL6PbsljdXRkGgt1Qs3UVyL-22HM6EBlI4YnS02XT-uoy84cvPFeLBdvgoStWzQYDgjYnRJRrnNzNe8Vcsqi/s320/portableCDplayer.jpg" width="320" height="241" data-original-width="566" data-original-height="426" /></a></div>From <a href="https://www.musicinstrumentscenter.com/5-best-portable-cd-player/" target=_new><b>Music Instrument Center</b></a>:<br />

Between the late 90’s and early 2000’s, almost everyone had the best portable CD player, cassette player. It is kind of strange to see one nowadays when we have the mobile phone, Bluetooth speaker …, but owning and using one of these guys is more common than most people think.<br />
<br />
Whether it is for listening to audiobooks or those original CDs you are so proud to have, a portable CD player can offer a higher sound quality than most MP3/4 nano players (and even better, they have a longer battery life!).<br />
<br />
In this article, we will take you through the benefits of owning a portable CD player, and we will tell you how to know if you are facing a really good device. Then, we will run down 10 best portable CD player available on the market.<br />
<br />
Next to newer technologies, a portable CD player might look like a big thing to carry around, but they do have a series of features that make them a better choice depending on your situation.Roger Owen Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459332441629702006.post-66745499584655468222018-02-02T12:32:00.002-05:002018-02-02T12:32:46.991-05:00Black) History Month: February 2018<table class="m_-4219895209786378337gd_combo_table" style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; width: 560px;"><tbody>

<span style="line-height: 19.6px;">To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, American historian Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week. The first celebration occurred on Feb. 12, 1926. For many years, the second week of February was set aside for this celebration to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist/editor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, as part of the nation’s bicentennial, the week was expanded to a month. Since then, U.S. presidents have proclaimed February as National African-American History Month.</span></div>

<br />
It’s no secret the world is a dangerous place. Every day, we hear about something – whether caused by humans or nature – that’s turned lives upside down. Bad news greets us in the morning and follows us to bed at night.<br />
<br />
What are we to do?<br />
<br />
Fear and stress are killers. They kill us from the inside out. We must find constructive ways to defuse the situation. Faith practices, physical exercise, counseling and peer groups… all can help, but there’s one thing everyone should consider: Get prepared.<br />
<br />
When you take the initiative to recognize potential problems and prepare to deal with them when and if they come, you not only position yourself to face those difficulties, but knowing you’re ready helps lower stress.<br />
<br />
In this guide, we’ll talk about disaster preparedness. We’ll talk about the supplies and equipment you and your family need to weather out the storm or make it through the crisis. And we’ll suggest ways you can save money and still get high-quality goods. <br />
<br />
By getting ready now, you won’t have to worry so much about what might happen. If a news alert says severe weather is headed your way, you’ll be ready for it.<br />
<br />
You’ll know that whatever comes down the pike, you’re not going to be joining the crowd desperately trying to find a store with something left on the shelves or wondering how in the world to live without water and electricity.<br />
<br />
We’ve tried to keep the recommendations here in line with those suggested by the American Red Cross. Responding to disasters is a big part of what they do every day.Roger Owen Greenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459332441629702006.post-51602353208821409602018-01-29T11:34:00.000-05:002018-01-29T11:34:14.209-05:00Which Congressional district is the most German?

From <a href="https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/1/1725137/-The-Most-District-Which-district-is-the-most-German-Wisconsin-s-6th" target="_new">Daily Kos</a>:<br />
<br />
You might be surprised to find out that German-American is the most common ancestry in the United States, at least according to the Census Bureau; 13.9 percent of Americans claim German ancestry, compared with 10.0 for Irish ancestry and 7.4 percent for English ancestry. <br />
<br />
(One theory is that many people who do have primarily English ancestry are from families that have been in the U.S. for so long that there’s no remaining sense of distinct roots, and some of them may end up claiming "American" ancestry instead.)<br />
<br />
But German ancestry is, despite how common it is, a fairly regionally-specific ancestry; there’s very little of it in the South, and while it’s more common in the Northeast, it’s by far most heavily concentrated in the Midwest, especially the Upper Midwest: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas. <br />
<br />
The largest flow of German immigrants in the 19th century was to the rapidly-growing cities of the Midwest like Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Omaha, and St. Louis. While these cities have lost much of their initial German identity thanks to subsequent waves of immigration and mostly ordinary domestic migration, German ancestry is still predominant in the rural areas of the Midwest where there hasn’t been much subsequent population growth. <br />

Billionaires saw their wealth increase by $762bn in 12 months. This huge increase could have ended global extreme poverty seven times over. <br />
<br />
82% of all wealth created in the last year went to the top 1%, while the bottom 50% saw no increase at all. Dangerous, poorly paid work for the many is supporting extreme wealth for the few. Women are in the worst work, and almost all the super-rich are men. <br />
<br />
Governments must create a more equal society by prioritizing ordinary workers and small-scale food producers instead of the rich and powerful.<br />

<br />
Tax identity theft occurs when a person uses someone else’s Social Security number to either file a tax return and claim the victim’s refund, or to earn wages that are reported as the victim’s income, leaving the victim with the tax bill.<br />
<br />
The FTC will partner with the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and others throughout the week to co-host free webinars and Twitter chats focused on steps consumers and businesses can take to help avoid tax identity theft and recover if it occurs. There will also be discussions about ways to identify and avoid IRS imposter scams that target consumers and businesses.<br />
