We end the video with a photo the White House twitter feed. The photo shows the Haft Seen table from the 2023 White House Nowruz celebration with this message:
For more than 300 million people across the world, Nowruz marks the beginning of spring, the renewal of nature, and the welcoming of a positive and healthy new year. The Biden-Harris Administration wishes everyone celebrating a happy Nowruz!

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ( #USCIS ) announced today that we will conduct a nationwide trial of proposed changes to the naturalization test. The trial will include changes to the English-speaking portion of the test and content and format updates to the civics portion. The trial will not include changes to the reading or writing portions of the test as they are already standardized. (text of the full announcement uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-announces-trial-for-updates-to-the-naturalization-test)
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) invites you to participate in a national engagement on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023, from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern, to learn more about a nationwide trial for the naturalization test redesign initiative. You must register for the 1/12/2023 event:
During the first part of the engagement, we will give an overview of the proposed changes, provide the trial testing parameters and explain the volunteer process for trial testing opportunities. During the second part of the engagement, we will respond to questions and hold a listening session to hear your comments and feedback on all aspects of the trial testing process. We also invite you to email comments on the trial testing to natzredesign22@uscis.dhs.gov.
We look forward to participating in the redesign to the English-speaking portion of the test and content and format updates to the civics portion.
What do you want to see on the resigned test? Let's brainstorm at the new LINCS.ED.GOV community (community.lincs.ed.gov/group/152) . Thanks!

I wrote this quiz for several reasons. First, to honor Central/Eastern European-American Heritage. Second, to showcase the diversity in the American christian community. Third, to celebrate Easter.
In the past, Western Christians and the Eastern Orthodox have been divided by religion, history, and politics, but as Americans, we are united as one people, and this year, we are celebrating Easter on the same day.
This is recording is an update of a 2017 podcast featuring Branka and her husband Tony, both of whom were from the former Yugoslavia by way of Canada. Branka was a longtime colleague who at the time worked as a Projects Coordinator for OUTREACH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK (otan.us) and had recently became a new US citizen. She then moved on to lead the Capital Adult Education Consortium. In late 2021, she and her family returned to Serbia where she continues to consult on Adult Education and digital literacy matters.
Quiz answers:
Colonists came to America for freedom.
Freedom of religion is that you can practice any religion or not practice a religion.
America bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803.
The two parts of the US Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives
Dianne Feinstein is one of the two US senators from the state of California.
Joe Biden is the current President of the United States.
Kamala Harris is the current Vice-President of the United States.
Gavin Newsom is the current Governor of California.
The two major political parties are Democratic and Republican parties.
The President's Cabinet advises the President.
Ro Khanna is the US Representative of San Jose/Milpitas, California.
Two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy are join a civic group and join a community group.
