A Little Holy, a Little Hoot
I've decided to concentrate on one half at a time, just so I don't get bored stitching with one color for a day. I finished up the two little houses on this side, plus the moons, and started the orange line that will go around the biscornu. I love how the colors pop!
So today is the beginning of Ramadan, our holy month. It's a month of fasting (we don't eat or drink anything from sunrise to sundown) but it's also supposed to be a month of introspection and of trying to be a better person. I have cleverly taken this month off work, so I can concentrate on cooking our sundown feast (we call it Iftar) and taking care of myself and my family. We all need a little quiet time, don't we?
Oh, and don't forget to sign up for the 4th July traveling pattern! You can do so here.
Be blessed, everyone!

New Netherlands king takes over
Willem-Alexander becomes king of the Netherlands as his mother Beatrix abdicates.
Willem-Alexander becomes king of the Netherlands as his mother Beatrix abdicates.
In a farewell speech made last night, Queen Beatrix said she had been struck by "overwhelming expressions of heartfelt sympathy" since she announced her decision to retire.
She added, "With the abdication of my role as monarch, I'm fulfilled foremost with feelings of deep gratitude. Without your heartwarming and encouraging signs of affection, the burdens - which certainly there have also been - would have weighed very heavily."
"Now that my eldest son is taking on this beautiful and responsible task tomorrow, it is my dearest wish that the new royal couple feels supported by your loving trust. I am convinced that Willem-Alexander will commit himself with faithful devotion to everything a good king is indebted to do."
Colourful celebrations have taken over the streets of Amsterdam as Queen Beatrix abdicated after 33 years.
As Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands ends her 33-year reign and abdicates in favour of her son a look at the monarchies of Europe.

It seems everyone we meet has a different mascara they swear by. Yes, some cult favorites pop up time and time again, but we're always intrigued by the multitude of mascaras mentioned by makeup artists, models, and celebs alike. So, why are some lash enhancers cast aside by one person, yet totally beloved by another? It's because, just like hair texture or skin type, the state of your lashes is unique to you.
Unfortunately, mascara marketers don't use a problem-based approach to pedaling their products. So, it's not easy to tell which lash enhancer would best benefit your particular lash needs. To get to the bottom of it, we called in makeup artist Elisa Flowers. She's coated the lashes of many a top model and A-list celeb in her day, so we knew she'd have some insight into how to find the right mascara for every type of lash — from short to straight.
Click on through to discover your ultimate mascara match.

Stephen Kellogg was born on November 28, 1976. He grew up in Southern Connecticut and in 1997 began his musical career in Northampton while interning for the Iron Horse A few years later, he married his high school sweet heart and began a well-publicized affection for his role as husband and later, father to their four daughters. Over the last decade he has performed more than 1500 concerts in more than a dozen countries, both solo and with a band. In 2013 Kellogg gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe, SK (as fans often refer to him) made a detour to play the Middle East, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. His Americana-tinged, sometimes folk, often rock, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define but he embraces the notion of genre splitting to the fullest.

4 A Letter from Metro Center s Executive Director, Dr. Pedro Noguera: Welcome. We are pleased that you are joining us at this conference, From Risk to Resilience: Building Support Systems for Children and Schools. We have assembled a cadre of thought leaders, advocacy leaders, and practitioners to address issues of trauma and risk in children s lives. We are particularly concerned about those issues that are frequently overlooked yet are pervasive in urban areas like New York City. New York City public schools served 80,000 homeless children during the school year. 1 Child homelessness and child poverty rates have increased dramatically in recent years. Nationwide, children under 18 comprise 33% of people in poverty. An overwhelming 44% can be considered low-income, and one in five of America s children comes from a poor family. 2 In New York City, the numbers are worse: one in four city children lives in poverty. 3 As of December 2014, over 11,000 city children were receiving foster care services. 4 School systems, which often lack trauma-focused resources and professional development, struggle to adequately serve children who confront these issues. The Risk to Resilience conference will address current resources, practices, and services to help teachers, administrators, and other community leaders think strategically about support systems for this vulnerable population. This conference is the inaugural activity of Metro s initiative to provide a complement of resources for schools and district leaders as they build their service and practice resource pool. Our strategy is to disseminate information through three portals. 1. The dissemination of a conference program which will include proceedings of the two days, additional resource materials, and relevant web links. 2. A resource app which will allow one to access resources inclusive of location of community partners. 3. A web-based portal that includes archived videos of the conference and a webinar that can be used in schools for professional development. 1 Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness (2014).

7 DAY 2 Workshops 10:15am-12:00pm Children s Services. Continuum of Building Support Systems for Children in Crisis. *Workshops 1, 2, 3 and 4 are powered by Wediko. Concerned about the continuity of care and education, Wediko school-based services offer clinical consultation and direct services to families and children in public schools. Wediko has 80 years of experience developing opportunities and options for vulnerable students through a continuum of services, coordinating support and implementing best practice approaches. Workshop 1: Developing Awareness & Identifying Trauma*- Room 903 This workshop provides participants with a new lens to understand complicated and extreme, difficult to change behaviors. Understanding trauma allows staff to be more patient with students, families and each other, and not to personalize extreme and/or repetitive student behaviors. Workshop 2: Implementing Protective Factors*- Room 904 Participants will be guided to analyze systems and structures within their school from a trauma-informed perspective. Participants will be encouraged to problem solve using knowledge of trauma and psychological safety to identify existing protective factors and implement additional supports as needed. Workshop 3: Building a Support System*- Room 906 Participants will explore the characteristics of trauma-informed schools, including structures that support staff, students and families. Participants will be encouraged to share supports that exist in their schools and strategize about areas that require further attention. Workshop 4: Targeted Topics on Specific Environmental Risk Factors*- Room 905 This workshop will focus on the causes and nature of complex trauma, including environmental risk factors such as loss, incarceration of family members, poverty, and community violence. Workshop 5: The Miracle of Mindfulness Professor Josh Aronson & Suzanne Duran Crelin- Room 908 This workshop is about elevating teaching, learning, and school culture through mindful education. A growing body of research verifies that mindfulness naturally improves empathy, focus, executive functioning, and fosters compassion for self and others. Many schools including schools serving at risk students are beginning to implement mindfulness practices, weaving mindfulness into the fabric of school life. Join Principal Suzanne Duran Crelin and her staff to learn about evidence from controlled studies, and hear directly about the joys and challenges of bringing this effective approach to elevating teaching, learning, and school culture. 7 P a g e

Before coming to NYU, he was on the faculty at the University of Texas and was a postdoctoral scholar and lecturer at Stanford University. Aronson s research focuses on the social and psychological influences on academic achievement. Among the most widely cited social scientists in the past decade, Aronson is internationally known for his research on stereotype threat and minority student achievement, research that offers a strong challenge to traditional genetic and sociological explanations of why African Americans and Latinos perform less well on tests of intelligence than their White counterparts, and why women trail men in hard math and science. Aronson s research with colleague Claude Steele has been cited in three Supreme Court cases and is considered a modern classic in social psychology, with over 3500 citations in scientific publications. This research showed how stereotypes that allege lower ability among these groups depresses Black and Latino students test and school performance, and women's comfort and performance in advanced mathematics and science domains. Aronson has authored numerous chapters and scholarly articles on this work and is the Editor of Improving Academic Achievement: Impact of Psychological Factors on Education (Academic Press) and Readings about the Social Animal (Worth). His work for the past decade has been devoted to enhancing the school experiences of disadvantaged students and improving their learning and test performance. This work has been highly influential in the field of education, intelligence testing, law, and social psychology featured in best-selling books like Blink, The Nurture Assumption, How Children Succeed, and Mindset: The Psychology of Success, among many others. Aronson has received several awards and grants for his research 11 P a g e

Gladys Carrión Commissioner, New York City Administration for Children s Services Gladys Carrión was appointed Commissioner of the New York City Administration for Children s Services by Mayor Bill de Blasio, effective January 6, Commissioner Carrión has focused on prioritizing preventive services to protect vulnerable children and help families avoid crisis. Prior to her appointment, Commissioner Carrión served for seven years as Commissioner of the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), a $4 billion agency charged with overseeing New York State s child welfare services, including foster care, adoption and juvenile delinquency. As OCFS Commissioner, Carrión is credited with overhauling an abusive state juvenile detention system marred by an 89 percent recidivism rate. Under her leadership, OCFS shut down more than a dozen of the most egregious juvenile centers, rerouting youthful offenders into less costly and more effective therapeutic programs located closer to home. Carrión spearheaded far-reaching reforms in the child welfare system, supporting families accused of child neglect with services and interventions tailored to their needs rather than employing traditional law enforcement approaches. Under her leadership, OCFS implemented a landmark nondiscrimination policy to 13 P a g e
14 protect transgender youth in juvenile detention centers, which was heralded as a model for similar kinds of agencies all over the country by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Gladys Carrión s long career on behalf of low-income youth and families in New York began at Bronx Legal Services, where she represented families in the nation s poorest congressional district in cases ranging from family law to social welfare. She later served as executive director of the Inwood House, one of the oldest youth serving organizations in the city, which provided home, schooling, and parenting classes to approximately 150 pregnant girls a year who came through the foster system.

In this role, he is charged with building a city-wide system of community schools that integrate social services with high quality instruction to help schools better serve the needs of families. Community schools stand as centers of opportunities where families can get the supports they need to make sure students come to school ready and able to learn. Prior to joining the DOE, Chris was the Senior Vice President of ExpandED Schools at TASC where he oversaw TASC s expanded learning portfolio of 40 schools in three cities. There, he helped schools expand the school day with 35% more time, partner with community organizations, and enhance the quality of learning in an effort to improve educational outcomes. He also served for over eight years in the Bloomberg Administration where he helped develop and launch New York City s Out-of-School Time (OST) initiative. As the City s first Assistant Commissioner for OST, he grew the system from $46 Million to $110 Million in five years. The system consisted of over 500 programs providing a mix of academic support, recreational activities, and cultural experiences to more than 85,000 young people each day. Earlier in his career, Caruso worked for the Children s Aid Society, one of the country s oldest social service agencies, as the Program Director at one of CAS s nationally recognized community schools. In May 2010, Mr. Caruso was chosen by the Annie E. Casey Foundation as one of 18 professionals selected nationwide for the Annie E. Casey Foundation Children and Family Fellowship program.

If J. Gold can do a top 40 for Koreatown, I know Chowhounders can do a top 10 for Little Saigon!
Finding a Vietnamese restaurant in Little Saigon is very intimidating for those not in the know. (Like me.) There are tons of places that look very similar with very similar prices, but I know the quality must differ wildly among the various places. What are your favorite places in the following categories? (These categories, btw, are far from exhaustive. I mention them just to help as a primer for myself. Feel free to add more!)
Soupy Noodles including Pho and Bun Bo Hue
Vietnamese Speciality Foods like Cha Ca or Mi Quang
Delicious All Around Vietnamese Bistro where you cant go wrong
Bo Ba Mon (Seven Courses of Beef)
(Ive only been to Anh Hoang in Little Saigon - seven courses of beef - and thought it was quite good. But thats the sum of my experience since I live in LA so I have very little to contribute on this list. Sorry!)

This is my first time opening up our pool. I am looking for input on whether I should work with what we have, or start from scratch.
First, we live on a dirt road, so no matter what we do, we will wind up with dirt at the bottom. Since we didn't know what we were doing last year, and I couldn't get this dirt/sediment out, I closed it as-is.
The water is crystal clear and the quality is fine. But the bottom of the pool is gross. Our filter doesn't pick it up, and neither does the Mamba pool vacuum that I bought & tried.
Should I drain it, scrub & sweep it, and start fresh ($300 for water ), or try and work with what I have (??? Time & effort)
(Trying to attach a picture...working on it.)

Re: First time opening...
I suggest that you brush or scrub the bottom of the pool first to loosen up the sediment before using the Mamba. You will probably need to vacuum separately some areas where the Mamba doesn't pick up
Is the Mamba working correctly (moving around the pool)

**NOTE: I'm not sure why I put this one on first, because it's more complicated. You may want to scroll down and start with METHOD TWO.**
Cut two pieces of wire long enough so they can almost make a full circle (top to bottom) around your container.
Fold each piece in half and loop them together as shown.
- 2
- 3
- 4
You can cut the wire if it's too long, or to your own desired length. Make sure to keep some length for added support, though. I'd say at least one inch into your container at minimum.
- 5
- 6
Pinch closed with needle nose pliers, and repeat with other end of wire on the opposite side. You should have an upside-down U shape over your container. Carefully twist the top to form a small twisted circle for the next wire to pass through.
- 7
This picture is hard to see, but I connected the ends of the wire on this glass dish side-by-side instead of on opposide sides and looped them together at the top.
- 8
- 9
Cut a length of wire long enough to circle the mouth of your jar about 1 and a half times.
Twist a loop in one end, and hold it in place under the lip of the jar, pulling the wire around until you reach the opposite side (180 degrees from the first loop) and make a second loop.
Next, pull the wire back to the first loop (creating a full circle under the lip of the jar) and hook the wire around the first loop. Pinch closed with pliers.

So the Rabbis have ordained that Yeshivas serve superior to Eretz Yisrael [and the yeshivot in the Shtachim].
Thats like Moshe Rabbeinu [upon being banned from Israel] saying to Hashem, "you know, fine...I'll just go to BoroPark instead, mah ichpatli? - Eretz Yisrael - Shmeretz Shmisrael"
Unfortunately, Moshe didn't say that, and this is a bad bad move. One 100% political, and again, politics and geulah have nothing in common. I would have thought that yeshivot are supposed to stand for geulah. Maybe when mesechta Sota [no less] says in the End of Days the Beis Midrash will turn to znus - well, here is the znussiest of znuss: bad politics that seek to dismantle Israel.
I would be more positive if there was something positive here, but, there simply isn't.
A word to the wise is sufficient [will (have to) suffice].

To the editor:
I am not writing this to support any political candidate. I am writing this as a national letter to all Americans about something that needs to change in our country.
After taking a hiatus for a few months, an anonymous/nameless Twitter site is up again, and is insulting and mocking and trying to humiliate a political candidate for Congress, who I do not support. It is called "Fake Rachel Barnhart."
This kind of thing really bothers me and offends my sense of human decency, fairness, respect and justice. I am known for having a good sense of humor, but I find nothing funny about publicly mocking and insulting someone, and making accusations such as that she has an "outsized ego" (as if that is some kind of rarity among political candidates), and is somehow a "prom queen."
No one deserves to be treated like this, whether or not the accusations are at all valid and justifiable. This mocker and insulter should at least put his or her name to this, rather than being anonymous and nameless. That seems cowardly.
I am putting my name to this letter. Why doesn't this person do the same?
This is not how we should be treating each other in this country. Surely, we are better than this.

Lil Uzi Vert has been making the internet keep up with his new releases. Lil Uzi has dropped a few songs here and there since the release of his mixtape, Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World, in April. LUV vs The World is my favorite mixtape so far this year, and it's really not even close. Uzi has done some features for some big name rappers in the game, but he makes sure to maintain his focus on his own music.
"$UB ZERO" is a song Uzi randomly dropped on Soundcloud, which he does with all of his music. The songs begins with the Maaly Raw intro, a producer Uzi works with very often, then the beat drops. Uzi is pretty chill on this one, resorting to his off-the-wall flows only when necessary. Uzi will probably add this song to his set-list for his upcoming tour this June. Not one of my favorites from Uzi but it's most definitely a song I will play on repeat in the car. Uzi hasn't disappointed his fans yet and I think he knows that. I am highly anticipating the debut album.
I might review LUV vs The World, idk yet, but links below!

A Few Fun Friday Updates
Happy Friday freakoooos! The start of your weekend will be even more fabulous because Princess Adrian is releasing some fun new updates! YAYYY! I love this time of year, the start of Spring definitely brightens up My social life. It's so much easier to go out and shake My hot Princess ass when I don't have to deal with torrential rain, tornado warnings, slick icy roads and near freezing temperatures. Plus, I love being able to show off more skin...that's a win win situation for everyone! Two of My new clips I shot before going out for drinks, after a freshly done pedicure and a recent shopping trip for new spring accessories. The result was shimmery candy pink toesies I just had to show off and cherry pink lip gloss I just had to tease you with. 😉...read more

City Council members agreed Wednesday to create a citizens committee to help resolve a dispute over speeding boats in canals and lakes.
About 75 residents showed up at the council meeting to voice their opinions on a proposed ordinance that would ban gasoline-powered boats on most city waterways.
Wakes from boats cause erosion of waterfront land, several residents said. But other residents have disagreed, saying only a handful of teen-agers were causing the problem.

Culture Shock
Writing a Report
Report writing is very relevant to many forms of employment as well as your academic life. Unlike essays that are academic and theory based, reports are action based and with a wider scope. Reports use skills of application – applying what has been learned to a particular situation – not merely investigating and theorising.
Reports are commonly used to communicate ideas, facts, findings or actions to be taken.
Above all reports must be – objective, accurate and concise but sufficiently comprehensive for the reader to understand the issues. Reports aim to persuade, obtain agreement or cooperation.
You might use the same skills learned in report writing in writing your dissertation.
There are four logical stages: Preliminary – preparation – writing- review
Preliminary stage:
Why are you writing the report?
• To provide information – usually a straight forward statement of facts or explanation of events or findings – report on a conference – summary of new procedures – company's annual report for the shareholders • To make a request – to persuade or motivate the reader into action – a request to purchase a new piece of equipment – to change a procedure – to ask for a donation to a charity • To influence decision-making – a proposal to launch a new product • To solve a problem – results of an investigation are presented and recommendations offered based on findings Some reports may be a combination of two or more of these.
What are you writing about?
As with any introduction, it is important to identify the major subject matter or focus of the report and the themes and issues that will need to be included. This will help you collect the materials needed for the report.
Two different reports for two different organisations – environmentalists v. road construction company – may collect the same facts but emphasise different points to persuade their respective audiences.
Who is the intended reader ?
The report should meet the requirements, needs and interests of the reader.
• What does the reader know about the subject areas. Communicate at the appropriate level of knowledge. If you overestimate their expertise you may blind them with science – if you underestimate you may bore them • What does the reader want/need to know. This will help you prepare your case • What are the reader's opinions of the subject of the report. Is it important to the reader – will they support or oppose the recommendations. They may influence how you present your final report. • What are the reader's preferences. – what format or style would suit your audience – what about visual presentation of data – graphs, bar charts, pie charts etc.Would these aid understanding. If it is a company report – is there a 'house style'. • Are there any limitations. What resources are available – what time is available – what funding – how will you get information – is there published material – if not you may need to use primary source material –interviews etc.
What does my reader need to know about the subject?
Terms of reference:
You may be asked for a Terms of Reference in which you should : • Define the scope of the report
• Indicate how you intend to achieve the objective
• Outline the aspects to be considered
• Indicate the limitations to be observed
These form the basis of your report and in a report for university you may be graded on how successfully you have achieved your Terms of Reference.

Unootto Poker Table
from Impatia
The classic octagonal shape of the poker table is reinterpreted and developed by the designer Enrico Azzimonti around the artisan culture of the diamond, with fine leather crown and whose overturned pavilion consists of a delicate interlacement of crystal legs, giving light and ethereal dimension to the
structure and capturing the fascinating brightness of the gemstone. Unootto is the reinterpretation of the traditional professional poker table for A-Game, made lightweight, elegant and sophisticated.
The refined lines of Unootto welcome the player "in the zone," that magic area that gives name to the collection in which the individual becomes one with the table, plunging into the game to the point of being able to predict his opponents' moves and transform his own to elicit success. An exclusive
condition, an experience to be lived with a table game that is just as exclusive.
And, for a professional set of branded accessories, a special chest is also provided: a leather box, available in 5 colours, with an elegant crystal cover.
The Unootto Poker Table is designed of a unique crystal glass case and table legs featuring metal components. The top frame surround is leather covered and the cloth layouts available in 25 different colours.
Size: 72,5 cm X 157 cm X 76 cm 28,5" X 62"
