It appears that the pattern of offending is that Mr J S Mann dupes well respected people, gets up a company setup and take money money for what is a worthwhile project, and then runs when there are zero returns on investment. I suggest strongly that BEFORE people do business with anyone, or takes on tenants or employees that a thorough background check is made first. I recommend a company called Verisure Investigations to ensure a thorough verification check.
I would strongly suggest you remove this article from your site. I am director of the company mentioned above. Mr Mann has been persecuted by a ex-partner in the past and more recently by an ex-landlord . Other allegations above are false.
IHO Ltd is a reputable company making a very sucessful product and allegations to the contrary will be met by the full force of the law. Please remove this article immediately.
Thank you for your post Dr Waters.
I am aware of your view and I am also aware that Jonathon Mann is running IHO. getting other people to front it.
Mann is a disqualified director and convicted fraudster who regularly cons good people .
May I suggest that you look at the warning signs . As a renal doctor should you be promoting a product which is out of your line of work?
Our research shows that the directors of IHO are acting as Puppets for A fraudster any one dealing with the company has a right to that information.
Jonathon Mann has destroyed too many lives already .
the following are samples of how Jonathon Mann works they are all replies to posts on this site and all digs at me for lack of transparency. in the interest of transparency I am publishing them Please note that the man had not even got the good sense to reset his ISP number.
Great article. Not. I don't see any problems with the MAF, only a scaremongering article writer?
Submitted on 2011/11/17 at 2:37 pm | In reply to transparencynz.
So transparencynz… according to you that neurosurgeon that saves lives everyday who is working at hospital because he wants money [private gain] and making a living off public resources shouldn't have a job.
Suggest he goes private and charges triple the price then are you?
Ahhh yes I found the article! So fjfkj wasn't lieing. I also read the article on Dr Walters in which comments seem to have been supressed. I am now of the strong opinion that this site is serving no positive purpose.
Your actions here now worry me. And I have been contacted by email by another follower of this site who suggested you blocked his opinions from being published (transparency needed?). My opinion of you is changing, for the worse.
Well Put. Great article. Thanks for making the truth known Grace!
Interesting karma@xtra.co.nz that you should share the same Isp 122.57.213.253 as all the others who have posted recently .. don't jest with karma it could come back to bite you .

East meets West : effects of justice on employees' commitment within the context of international joint ventures in China
Yui Tim, Edward WONG
Research output: Book Chapters | Papers in Conference Proceedings › Book Chapter › Research › peer-review
The studies of organisational commitment (Lavelle et al., 2009; Martin, 2008; Shore et al., 2008) and justice (Liao and Rupp, 2005; Walumbwa et al., 2008) are important today. Recent studies show that different types of justices have significant impacts on commitment (DeConinck and Stilwell, 2004; Liao and Rupp, 2005; Walumbwa et at., 2008). However, the preponderance of past researches on commitment and justice has focused on Western samples. This is a limitation, because these studies only show the conditions in countries with greater future orientation (e.g. U.S.A. and U. K.), but not for countries with greater future orientation (e.g. China and Russia). Cultural future orientation is the degree to which a collectivity encourages and rewards future-oriented behaviours such as planning and delaying gratification (House et al., 1999). Hence, the generalizability of these findings to other parts of the world is in question, and more cross-cultural studies in this area of research are needed. In view of its unique cultural traditions (Earley, 1989) and sweeping economic reform (Warner, 1993) during the past two decades, China provides an ideal research setting for studying commitment and justice in international joint ventures. Because human resources management in China is at the crossroads, as it encounters 'a fast-changing environment' (Warner, 2009). The studies of commitment in China are important. For instance, the study of Yu and Egri (2005) reveals the importance of human resource management practices in creating effective organizational commitment in international joint venture (IJVs) and state-owned enterprise (SOEs) in China. According to this research report, World Trade Organisation (WTO) membership has increased China's necessity to be globally competitive (Goldsmith, 2006). Researchers have studied different types of commitment (Gong and Chang, 2008; Wong and Lui, 2007; Wong et al. 2006) and justice (Chen et al., 2002; Leung et al., 1996; Wong et al., 2002) separately in the context of China. However, there is a lack of research in studying the casual relationships between different types of justice and commitment in China. Due to the rapid changes in China, it is meaningful to have further study about the effect of employees' perception of justice on their commitment in different Chinese enterprises today. This research in the Chinese context with both IJV and SOE will fill this research gap and contribute to the existing literature. It includes both organization with greater future orientation (e.g. IJVs) and the organization with lower future orientation (e.g. SOEs). The main purpose of this study is to explore the relationships of justice and commitment among Chinese employees working in IJVs today, and the conditions of employees in reformed SOEs will be used for comparison. In this study, distributive justices and procedural justice are considered as antecedents of affective commitment, and interactional justice is considered as antecedent of commitment to supervisor. Additionally, the model further suggests that affective commitment will affect employees' turnover intention and organizational citizenship behavior; and commitment to supervisor will affect employees' organizational citizenship behavior. A data set consisting of 247 employees in two international joint ventures and 253 employees in two state-owned enterprises in Shanghai and Southern China are used to test the hypotheses empirically.

Chapter 25 The Lesser Dragon's Lair challenge with Emily, Part Two
This chapter about adventure. Please turn off your adblock to support this site.
"We must defeat the Dragon!"
"Ouhhh!!!"
"O, ouh..."
""...""
Two days after the discussion.
<Running Wolves> and Emily left the guild to head to the Lesser Dragon's lair.
This time, the quest was led by the guild, and they were completely supported.
<Guild runner>, a trained bird for riding, will carry them to the temporary base set up by the adventurer's guild.
When it was time to unload and gear up, Emily shouted, followed by Alvin and Milis. Shinji and Renka were watching in silence.
"You're not in high spirits, are you?"
"That's right! Shinji, Renka!"
"Huh, Emily and Alvin are not a good combination for me."
Shinji looked at the two hot-headed men with a pouting face and let out a sigh.
"Look, don't be silly, let's go!"
Renka tried to lead the way.
However, Emily turned to Shinji as she stepped further forward.
"Can I kill the monsters when we heading to the nest?"
"Ah... yes. Renka, let's leave it to Emily. Alvin, since you have the opportunity, you should take a closer look. I hope you find something useful."
Renka seemed to want to say something, but if it would be helpful to Alvin... she quietly backed off.
With Emily at the front of the group, followed by Alvin, Renka, and Milis, and Shinji at the back, it was decided to set off.
"Oh, Scorpion."
Emily, who was running in the front, stopped, and everyone stopped behind her.
Everyone saw the <Scorpion>, it's a scorpion-shaped monster with the size of a human adult.
The monster also seems to recognize her and opens its scissors to threaten her.
"I'll do it quickly."
Emily, who carried a spiked iron club on her shoulder that was longer than her height, turned back to Shinji and looked at the scorpion. (*Note: Spiked iron club -> Kanabo)
Don! There was a heavy sound and vibration that shook the ground slightly.
In the blink of an eye, Emily, who should have been right in front of them, had moved several dozen meters away and was swinging her iron club in front of the giant scorpion.
A single flash of her powerful arm.
With a tremendous crushing sound, the scorpion was crushed.
It was an instant kill.
"I'm back ♡"
"Thanks for your hard work. Here's your potion."
The same sound was heard again and Emily came back to Shinji in an instant.
He handed the potion to Emily as if he was used to it.
In the meantime, Alvin and the others were silent.
"What was that...?"
"The application of self-strengthening magic... I guess. I'm using it in a somewhat unique way."
Alvin muttered in disbelief at what had just happened.
Milis and Renka remain silent.
"Common self-strengthening magic is used to cover the entire body like we do, right? Originally, it is a magic that strengthens the whole body evenly, and if you want to run faster, you can generally add more magic power on the legs to increase the strengthening factors. But for me, When I just kicked the ground and accelerated, I just concentrating only on my legs, and cutting off all the strengthening except where I needed it."
Shinji understood the theory, but he couldn't put it into practice.
Shinji has asked Emily what she does with the recoil from that speed, and how she stops, which is sure to hurt the place where the strengthening was cut.
The answer was.
<You can move faster by gathering all your energy into the soles of your feet and thumping them. And you just have to withstand the impact with your energy and stop with a bang."
As Emily spoke only with her senses, Shinji gave up trying to understand her.
"Hmmm, that's my specialty. Isn't that great?"
"That's quite something to say..."
"Well... I couldn't follow it with my eyes at all."
"That's amazing! She can move that fast! How do you do it?"
The same explanation was given to the excited Alvin with a confident look on her face.
Both Milis and Renka have a confused face and look at Shinji with a troubled look on their faces, but Shinji just shakes his head in resignation.
"Give it a squeeze and boom, then it stops with a bang... Okay!"
"Wait, Alvin!"
The second part of adventure. Please turn off your adblock to support this site.
Shinji hurriedly tried to stop the motivated Alvin.
At the time of Shinji's first attempt, he accelerated but failed to land and fell.
He was too full of momentum and rolled on the ground several times, breaking his arm in the process.
If Alvin was to make a similar mistake now and get injured, it would be a big problem.
However, Shinji was too late to stop him.
Arvin's figure disappeared with a booming sound.
The next moment, there was Alvin, a dozen meters away, slipping and sliding in a cloud of dust.
"It's so slippery! I can't stop properly!"
And then he comes back to Shinji and the others in the same way once more.
"Oh, wow! Alvin, you're so talented! I've never seen anyone do it so well from the start!"
"Really? I did it!"
Shinji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Alvin raising one arm in joy and Emily praising him.
"Alvin, please don't use this technique during this request... It's a technique that could cause serious injury. You can practice it later..."
"Seriously injured!? Al-kun, you can't!"
"I don't know how you can do it with that explanation. Maybe I'll practice later."
"Okay, okay. Sorry, guys..."
Alvin scratches his cheeks with an apologetic look.
"Can you teach me in person?"
"We'll talk about it later. The diversion team should be moving, so let's move quickly."
"That's right, let's go."
Everyone started to move again.

Q: Laravel Dusk junit doesn't log to file I've written some automated tests using Laravel Dusk and when I run them I get some errors, however I can't seem to scroll through the whole output. First I tried to pipe the output to less but less doesn't work properly for some reason. Then I tried doing:
php artisan dusk --log-junit /path/to/log/file.log

however the log file keeps empty for some reason. The teamcity version of the log works but there the errors are not described.
Also, when I run only the basic test, which comes with Dusk, it logs properly.
Googling doesn't reveal anything.
Any ideas?
EDIT 1:
I've narrowed down the problem to this test:

note that I can't see the top most part due to scrolling issues.
Also, note that when I run each of the methods of that test using filter everything works properly. Which is baffling.
EDIT 2:
Here is the Transform class used in the test:
<?php

namespace App\Logic\Dates;

class Transform {
    /**
     * Given a month in the following format: YYYY-MM
     * it returns datetime for the last second of the month
     *
     * @param $year_and_month
     * @return string
     */
    static function monthEnd($year_and_month) {
        $datetime = $year_and_month . '-01 00:00:00';
        $time = strtotime($datetime);

        $month_end = date('Y-m-t', $time) . ' 23:59:59';

        return $month_end;
    }

    /**
     * Given a month in the following manner: YYYY-MM
     * it returns a datetime for the first second of that month
     *
     * @param $year_and_month
     * @return string
     */
    static function monthStart($year_and_month) {
        $month_start = $year_and_month . '-01 00:00:00';

        return $month_start;
    }
}

EDIT 3:
So I've deleted the problematic test DatesTransform and rewritten it using vanilla phpunit, however when running phpunit I get an error which I again can't log it just logs the following:
PHPUnit 7.5.13 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.

.

here is my phpunit command:
vendor/bin/phpunit > /path/phpunit.log

EDIT 4:
Here is the new phpunit DatesTransformationsTest:
<?php

namespace Tests\Unit;

use App\Logic\Dates\Transform;
use Tests\TestCase;

class DatesTransformationsTest extends TestCase
{
    public function testMonthEnd()
    {
        self::assertEquals('2018-01-31 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2018-01'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-02-28 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2018-02'));

        self::assertEquals('2018-10-31 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2018-10'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-11-30 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2018-11'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-12-31 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2018-12'));

        self::assertEquals('2016-02-29 23:59:59', Transform::monthEnd('2016-02'));
    }

    public function testMonthStart()
    {
        self::assertEquals('2018-01-01 00:00:00', Transform::monthStart('2018-01'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-02-01 00:00:00', Transform::monthStart('2018-02'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-03-01 00:00:00', Transform::monthStart('2018-03'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-04-01 00:00:00', Transform::monthStart('2018-04'));
        self::assertEquals('2018-05-01 00:00:00', Transform::monthStart('2018-05'));
    }
}

A: Solved it, it turns out I've defined a method inside the schedule method of the Console's Kernel.php and that was raising errors as a duplicate definition for some reason, no idea why. Once I moved it into its own class problems disappeared!

Samples of produced water and oil obtained from the Enermark field (near Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada) were separated into oil and aqueous phases first gravitationally and then through centrifugation at 20°C in an atmosphere of 90% N2 and 10% CO2. Biomass that remained associated with oil after gravitational separation (1×g) was dislodged by centrifugation at 25,000×g. DNA was isolated from the aqueous and oil-associated biomass fractions and subjected to polymerase chain reaction amplification with primers targeting bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA genes. DNA pyrosequencing and bioinformatics tools were used to characterize the resulting 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The oil-associated microbial community was less diverse than that of the aqueous phase and had consistently higher representation of hydrogenotrophs (methanogens of the genera Methanolobus and Methanobacterium and acetogens of the genus Acetobacterium), indicating the oil phase to be a primary source of hydrogen. Many known hydrocarbon degraders were also found to be oil-attached, e.g. representatives of the gammaproteobacterial genus Thalassolituus, the actinobacterial genus Rhodococcus and the alphaproteobacterial genera Sphingomonas, Brevundimonas and Stappia. In contrast, all eight representatives of genera of the Deltaproteobacteria identified were found to be associated with the aqueous phase, likely because their preferred growth substrates are mostly water-soluble. Hence, oil attachment was seen for genera acting on substrates found primarily in the oil phase.

Q: web-service Ksoap2 Complex objects error I can´t solve this problem and go on...
I have a big problem in my app. Any help would be really appreciated, I will try to put all the code.
Thank you very much!
The main error is this one:
[ERROR] Exception occurred while trying to invoke service method almacenaCoordenadas
org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: Unknow type {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}Coordenada

The Coordenada class is also defined in the server and the funcion in the server that crashes waits a Coordenada object
The complex object that I want to send is this one:
import java.util.Hashtable;

import org.ksoap2.serialization.KvmSerializable;
import org.ksoap2.serialization.PropertyInfo;

public class Coordenada implements KvmSerializable {

private long longitud;
private long latitud;

public Coordenada(long lat, long lon) {

    longitud = lon;
    latitud = lat;

}

public void setLongitud(long lon) {
    longitud = lon;
}

public void setLatitud(long lat) {
    latitud = lat;
}

public long getLongitud() {
    return longitud;
}

public long getLatitud() {
    return latitud;
}

@Override
public Object getProperty(int arg0) {

    switch (arg0) {
    case 0:
        return latitud;
    case 1:
        return longitud;

    }

    return null;
}

@Override
public int getPropertyCount() {

    return 2;
}

@Override
public void setProperty(int ind, Object val) {

    switch(ind){
    case 0:
        latitud = Long.parseLong(val.toString());
        break;
    case 1:
        longitud = Long.parseLong(val.toString());
        break;

    default:
        break;
    }

}

@Override
public void getPropertyInfo(int arg0, Hashtable arg1, PropertyInfo arg2) {

    switch(arg0){
    case 0:
        arg2.type = PropertyInfo.LONG_CLASS;
        arg2.name = "latitud";
        break;
    case 1:
        arg2.type = PropertyInfo.LONG_CLASS;
        arg2.name = "longitud";
        break;

    default:break;
}

}

}

I send it by calling this method:
private String almacenaCoordenadas() {

        accionSoap = "http://ws.webapp.org/almacenaCoordenadas";
        metodo = "almacenaCoordenadas";
        String retorno="";

        try {

            // Modelo el request
            SoapObject request = new SoapObject(namespace, metodo);

            PropertyInfo primerParametro = new PropertyInfo();
            PropertyInfo segundoParametro = new PropertyInfo();
            //PropertyInfo tercerParametro = new PropertyInfo();
            primerParametro.setName("id");
            primerParametro.setValue(user);
            segundoParametro.setName("coord");
            segundoParametro.setValue(coordenada);
            request.addProperty(primerParametro);
            request.addProperty(segundoParametro);

            /*
            segundoParametro.setName("lo");
            segundoParametro.setValue(longitud);
            tercerParametro.setName("lat");
            tercerParametro.setValue(latitud);
            request.addProperty(primerParametro);
            request.addProperty(segundoParametro);
            request.addProperty(tercerParametro);*/

            // Modelo el Sobre
            SoapSerializationEnvelope sobre = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
            // si esta hecho o no en puntoNet
            sobre.dotNet = false;
            sobre.setOutputSoapObject(request);

                    sobre.AddMapping(namespace, "Coordenada", new Coordenada().getClass();

            // Modelo el transporte
            HttpTransportSE transporte = new HttpTransportSE(url);

            // Llamada
            System.out.println(sobre);
            transporte.call(accionSoap, sobre);

            // Resultado
            SoapPrimitive resultado = (SoapPrimitive) sobre.getResponse();

            retorno = resultado.toString();

            if (retorno!=null)
                Log.i("Resultado", "Envio correcto de coordenada");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            String s="";
            s+="ERROR - Envio de coordenada\n";
            s+=e.toString();
            Log.e("MainActivity",s);

        }

        return retorno;
    }

from this one: (is an AsyncTask)
@Override
    protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

        almacenaCoordenadas();
        return null;
    }

And the method in the webservice is this one:
public String almacenaCoordenadas(String id, Coordenada coord){
        String resultado="Coordenadas recibidas correctamente";

        System.out.println(id+" esta en las coordenadas:");
        if(coord!=null){
            System.out.println("Llega coordenada");
        }

        return resultado;
    }

The error is this one:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much!!

A: Enable debug by adding the following:
transporte.debug = true;//ADD THIS

transporte.call(accionSoap, sobre);

System.out.println("requestDump is :"+transporte.requestDump);//ADD THIS
System.out.println("responseDump is :"+transporte.responseDump);//ADD THIS

then post your request and responseDump above to see what your soap envelope looks like.

Daniele De Rossi Was Roma, Until The Very End
Photo: Paolo Bruno (Getty Images)
Daniele De Rossi's Roma career ended with a fittingly meaningless win in front of his adoring fans. More than any other player in this current era of the Giallorossi, De Rossi symbolized the duality of the team's good-but-not-quite-good-enough nature. In his 17 seasons at the Italian capital, De Rossi was a key part of a handful of solid Roma teams that pushed better-funded and more talented sides, without winning much himself. His only club honors are back-to-back Coppa Italia wins in 2007 and 2008, and the Supercoppa Italiana in 2007. And so now, after so many close calls and long seasons and a disappointing contract renewal saga, De Rossi leaves Roma without any major titles but with the undying love of a club and fanbase so often relegated to second-tier status.
As De Rossi slowed down over the last few years, the end creeped up on Roma fans, though it felt safe to assume that this captain would go the way of the previous one, Francesco Totti, who played on until he was 39 and retired in the only jersey he had ever worn. However, financial and political interests intervened. De Rossi offered to stay at Roma for a reduced and incentive-laden contract, but the club refused, offering him instead a director role. De Rossi believes he's not done on the field yet, though, and so is on his way out, with plenty of suitors willing to host him through the twilight of his career.
If Totti was Roma's living saint, with the 2001 Serie A scudetto (one of only three league titles in Roma's history) his canonizing miracle, then De Rossi was the beloved priest who never quite got his hands on the silverware that would've sanctified him. In his nearly two decades with the club, De Rossi finished second in Serie A eight times. In European play, De Rossi's Roma never made it to a Champions League final. Their best performance in the competition was last season's stunning comeback against Barcelona that sent them to their first European Cup semi-final since finishing runner-up back in 1984.
And yet, while Totti will always be Roma's number one, De Rossi is as much of a part of recent Roman soccer history. Despite starting his career as a striker in the Ostia Mare youth academy, De Rossi joined Roma as a teenager and soon established himself as a premier holding midfielder. Known equally for his ability to destroy opposing attacks and create ones of his own with his fantastic long passing, De Rossi was the steadying influence on what were often hyper-attacking Roma teams—the 2007 Roma team wouldn't have been as breath-taking as it was without De Rossi (and, to a lesser extent, his hard-working midfield partners David Pizarro and Simone Perrotta)—with his ball retention and his uncanny ability to always be exactly where he needed to be to frustrate opponents.
De Rossi was also part of the most successful generation of Italian national teams, winning the 2006 World Cup and finishing second to the historically great Spaniards in the 2012 Euros. The 2006 tournament was a perfect microcosm for De Rossi's career: his elbow of American striker Brian McBride got him a straight red and a four-match suspension as the Italians got by Australia, Ukraine, and Germany in the knockout rounds.
The then-22-year-old De Rossi made it back on the field in the final, subbing on in the 61st minute with the score tied at 1-1. When penalties beckoned, De Rossi (who always had a better nose for goal than you might expect) nailed Italy's third spot-kick, helping lead the Azzurri to their first World Cup title since 1982. The Italians weren't as lucky in the final of the 2012 Euros, as Spain demolished them 4-0, but the impressive tournament run did demonstrate De Rossi's versatility. Coach Cesare Prandelli played him as a sweeper/central defender in a three-at-the-back formation that befuddled Croatia and that same Spain in the group stage.
Though he won the biggest prize of all in soccer, was De Rossi's career a failure because he didn't win a scudetto for Roma? It was surely disappointing to come so close. In De Rossi's best club season, 2009-10, Roma led in the title race before losing 2-1 at home to Sampdoria four games from the end of the year. They eventually finished an agonizing two points below treble-winning Inter. In his defense, De Rossi faced some of the best sides in Italian history: the Milans and Inters of last decade, and the unstoppable Juventus juggernaut of the 2010s. There's no shame in finishing second to historic sides, and without De Rossi's longevity and consistency, Roma never would've gotten as close to the trophy as they regularly did.
De Rossi's exit might not have been as picture perfect as Totti's, but the soon-to-be 36-year-old got the send-off he deserved. He got to celebrate a win in front of the fans he fought for (sometimes too ardently; he was sent off 12 times in his career, nine for straight reds) over 17 seasons. The man once nicknamed capitan futuro became the captain of the present and is now the captain of the past, bringing a close to an era of Roman soccer no one embodied—in joy and in pain—better than De Rossi himself.

Counting with my Father by the Decades
Esmeralda Flores (Los Angeles County Office of Education)| August 2020
I was 11 when I first learned about the Census. It was 1990, and my father was working for the Census Bureau as a Special Place Operations Supervisor. I still have moments ingrained in my memory from the first time he brought me to the office while he worked. I sat in a corner and watched as all these people would move quickly back and forth throughout the office. I would listen to workers share stories – from almost being bitten by a dog to the latest resident that yelled at them. Thinking back, I'm sure that I wasn't supposed to be there! That year the only No. 2 pencils I used for school had the words "1990 Census Count" engraved on them. In fact, I think I had those pencils throughout the entire 90s.
2000 Census: Boldly Failing to Become a Special Place Operations Supervisor
When the 2000 Census Count came around, I was an undergrad at CSU Northridge and eager to serve, I applied for the same position that my father once had. At 21 years old, with limited work experience, I boldly and naively thought I qualified for this role. My application was hand-written and let's just say my penmanship was not one of my strengths. I specifically remember including on my application that "my father had this role in the 1990 Census, so he can help me if I need it". What's funny about it now is that my father told me to write that on the application! Needless to say, I didn't receive a callback.
2010 Census: Making a Difference Door to Door
In the 2010 Census Count I was living in San Francisco pursuing my graduate degree at SF State. Although my education was the priority, I was determined and humbled to join the Census team in any capacity. With a clipboard and questionnaires in hand, I was the proud Enumerator that really enjoyed going door-to-door. I remember counting a family of 12 and asking the head of household if there was anyone else that lived there, and to my surprise, she said "yes." Apparently, she had forgotten about another relative! I also recall a woman who was willing to provide her information, but only through her 2nd-floor window. It's a good thing I knew how to project my voice. When I would call home, I used to share these stories with my dad and in return, he would also share his Census experiences.
2020 Census: Census in a Time of COVID
This past year I worked for the 2020 Census Count as a Field Supervisor. My role was to ensure that addresses were accurate for the Census Bureau's future mailings. In this position I was managing roughly 15 individuals in Southern California who confirmed addresses by walking door-to-door, similar to the role of Enumerators. As a bonus for finishing early, I was sent to Yreka, California to help that community finish address checks. It was quite an experience to manage up to 30 workers scattered throughout Northern California in five different hotels. Some of them had to drive hours on narrow mountain roads to confirm a handful of addresses in remote areas. My project was completed on my 41st birthday, and I celebrated it by enjoying a nice long peaceful ride back home.
During this 2020 Census Count, I've been provided the opportunity to help lead outreach efforts for the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE). LACOE provides a range of programs and services to support the county's 80 school districts and more than 2 million preschool and school-age children. LACOE leadership recognized the detrimental impact that an undercount in the Census would mean for communities, including students and their families, in LA County. With the financial support of the California Complete Count – Census 2020 Office, they joined the campaign for a complete count.
As the Census Program Specialist for LACOE, I have been working alongside our small but mighty team to engage school districts and charter schools in LA County and provide them with 2020 Census resources and tools. Below are some of the tools and actions we have taken to support their outreach efforts.
With backing from our partner, WeCountLA and in conjunction with FENTON, we developed the LACOE Digital Toolkit for educators and school staff. This site provides click-to-share social media graphics, talking points for parent-teacher meetings, and digital fliers explaining the importance of the Census. All assets were created to be easy to customize.
We also house other important updates and tools created from our organizational partners, the US Census Bureau, and the California Complete Count on our LACOE Census Google Drive. There is a range of Census materials, including social media graphics, school guides and toolkits, scripts for emails, texts, calls and radio, as well as themed Census information for specific "weeks of action."
We host monthly Census Zoom meetings with districts and charters to provide updates on low-response rates, share upcoming opportunities for engagement, and exchange best outreach practices.
Newsletters are provided biweekly, with the latest information from the US Census Bureau, updated self-response rates, highlights from our schools, and local actions from partner organizations.
Our team has also been available to speak online for Census presentations and virtual events.
Currently, LACOE is hosting the LA County Census Chalkathon, from Aug. 17 – Sept. 7. During this time, students, families, and school staff are being invited to create sidewalk art promoting Census participation. All art pieces should include "2020census.gov" and "Everybody Counts!" LACOE will hold a weekly raffle of Census goodies and giveaways for participating students and community members who share their artwork on social media using #CaStudentsCount and #LACCensusChalkathon. Professional chalk artists are also being hired to create artwork in designated locations throughout the county. We are asking all LA County communities and Census partners to participate.
This year has been filled with unavoidable roadblocks that have challenged my spirit and strength in this work. I only wish that I could still share Census stories with my dad. On August 19, 2018, my father passed away, making this my first Census count without him. As I do this work, I often think of my father and the passion he sparked in me to speak up and advocate for others, especially for those who are most vulnerable, like our children.
A lot has changed since the 1990 Census, but some things remain. Los Angeles County continues to be one of the hardest to count. With less than 44 days left, we must all use our creativity and energy to rise to the challenge and work to ensure a fair and accurate count.
My father taught me the importance and impact of this once-in-a-decade undertaking. Now, it's my turn to continue the legacy of working to ensure that all families, especially our children, are counted.
The Census Misses More Black and Hispanic Young Children Than Other Young Children
Max Miller	October 29, 2018
Black and Hispanic young children have higher net undercounts than others. The graph below shows the net undercount rate for all children age 0 to 4 in the 2010 was 4.6 percent. But for Black Alone or in Combination…
