E’ sorprendente come twitter stia frastornando facebook. Ma forse no.
Dopo questa mia profonda riflessione, consiglio a tutti – anche a quelli che schifano i social network – di appuntarsi l’account di Giovanni (che twitter si può seguire anche senza starci dentro). Io lo seguo e lui mi onora seguendomi.
Lo voglio celebrare con questo post parafrasando il Travaglio della prefazione al libro della banda Spinoza:
“Appena leggo un tweet di Giovanni, finito di ridere mi incazzo con me stesso perché avrei voluto tweettarlo io”.
Dopodiché, quando penso a Giò, spesso mi viene in mente l’inconfondibile voz de Julio. Ma si sa, non ci deve essere sempre un motivo per tutto.
Marcia,
The Census Bureau will be partnering with many organizations as we approach the enormous challenge of mobilizing the entire country to participate in the 2010 Census. Partners include Catholic Charities, Univision, Telemundo, BET, Marathon Oil, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Blind Veterans Associations, the American Statistical Association, Goodwill Industries, Target Stores, and even Western Union, to name just a few. We expect to have more than 100,000 partners overall. Many of these organizations have strong ties to traditionally undercounted populations. They are especially helpful in encouraging groups such as the poor, the linguistically isolated, or new immigrants to mail back the census forms and cooperate with enumerators. They know their local conditions and circumstances, and they can help to expand participation.
The agreements we sign with our partner organizations are informal commitments that they make to raise awareness about the census and encourage their members or customers to fully participate. The Census Bureau does not provide payments or grants to partner organizations.
We are now discussing with our partners how to leverage their unique capabilities to help achieve the Constitutional mandate to conduct an enumeration. The Census Bureau will carry out this mandate by counting everyone living in the United States once, only once, and in the right place. They will not be recruiting or hiring census employees, providing questionnaire assistance centers, or helping people respond to the census.
2010 Census partners are not Census Bureau employees, and they have no responsibility for collecting or processing census data.
Our Partnership Program combines the strengths of state, local, and tribal governments, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, schools, media, businesses, and others to ensure an accurate 2010 Census. Our partners carry the message to members of their communities that participating in the census is important, it is safe, and it is essential to serving local needs.
You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart.
I feel that getting college students involved in the census is a very good idea. College students make up a large percent of the population and they deserve to be included in the census. Most college students also want to be more independent and start doing things for themselves to prepare them for real life situations that they will have to face in the future. Many college students that go away and live in dormitories or in their own apartments assume that their parents will fill one out for them but in reality, they are living on their own elsewhere and should be liable to fill out their own census. I also agree with Emily that alerting college students through their email service is an effective was of getting them to participate. Most students in college aren’t going to remember to do the census and are bust with their own lives and tremendous amounts of work that they probably wouldn’t remember to do this. By emailing them they are notified and reminded to take a few minute to fill out the census. Colleges should also educate and inform their students about the census and why it is important to fill it out. If the students have a better understanding of how the census works and how it benefits our country, they will be more encouraged to participate and fill it out. I also feel that they should be offered a reward or have a motivation for participating in the census so that more people are represented in the upcoming census.
The Clean Diamond Trade Act also states the KPCS is an ongoing process and the U.S. government will continue to strengthen the KPCS and monitor its effectiveness. I really appreciate to this blog.
I went over this web site and I think you have a lot of excellent information, bookmarked (:.

Cool photos and thanks for the update! It looks like you are having beautiful weather. Watch out for baboons!
Rosanna,
For the most part, I like the AES Direct system and applaud the paperless efforts of everyone. However, there have been some quirks using the system that I have experienced since the beginning. In order to have more control over compliance for my company, I try to complete the AES before the shipment ever leaves my dock. However, there are things that are out of my control like Departure date, port of Export or unlading, that I have no clue what the carrier is going to use for these fields. Sure, I can have the carrier file the AES on my behalf, but then I lose control and have no idea if a fatal error or other problem exists. There have also been times when I use a certain HTS number (that I know is still current because I check my numbers frequently all year) and the database comes back as an invalid number. Other than that, I think the changes that have been made to the program over the last couple of years have improved (like who thought of a search field where you type in a question mark and hit the tab key). Keep making positive changes and making it more user friendly and I bet there will be less compliance issues. I want to be in compliance and the easier it is, the better I will be. (I bet others as well).
Thanks
