Emergency Cooling Centers Remain Available for Residents to Stay Cool Amid Excessive Heat

NEW ORLEANS — According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the New Orleans area is experiencing dangerously high temperatures into this week. A combination of heat and humidity could lead to daytime high heat index values, or “feels like” temperatures, of 103 to 112 degrees between Monday, July 15 through Friday, July 19.

NWS has issued a heat advisory, and additional heat-related advisories and warnings are likely. Showers and thunderstorms may provide some relief from the heat, but temperatures are expected to remain high. 

NOLA READY HEAT RELIEF MAP 

The City of New Orleans launched the NOLA Ready Heat Relief Map, which can be found at Heat Relief Map / Recursos para aliviar el calor (arcgis.com). This interactive map lists locations with free, indoor air-conditioned locations for the general public. Individuals in need of heat relief should check this interactive map for updated information for cooling centers. 

For tips on how to beat the heat, go to ready.nola.gov/heat

Community organizations and/or businesses that are willing to act as a free community cooling site for the public should email ready@nola.gov with the address, dates, and hours to be added to the map.

SAFETY TIPS

These hot temperatures can become life-threatening if the proper precautions are not taken. Residents can visit weatherwise.nola.gov to find localized updates on weather conditions when considering outdoor activities.

Residents are advised to take the following precautions to prevent health emergencies due to overexposure to extreme heat:

• Stay indoors in air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day
• If you must perform outdoor activities, do so early in the morning or late in the evening
• Wear light, loose-fitting clothing
• Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun
• Be sure to drink plenty of water, and do not wait until you’re thirsty
• The very young, the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease, are at a greater risk for heat-related health issues and should take extra precautions to stay cool and hydrated
• Check on neighbors, children, the elderly & chronically ill to make sure they are okay, especially every hour if power outages occur

Children and pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle. Even in 70-degree weather, the interior temperature of a vehicle can increase rapidly to over 100 degrees in just 20 minutes. Cracking a window does not help. Leaving a child or pet unattended in a vehicle often leads to a life-threatening emergency. Anyone who sees a child or animal unattended in a vehicle is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately.

World War II in 2: The July 20 Plot to Assassinate Adolf Hitler

New episode available now!

WATCH ONLINE

World War II in 2 is a series featuring historians—in short, compelling, educational videos—describing a vast array of topics related to WWII history and events. In this new episode, Rob Citino, PhD, Distinguished Fellow at the Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, explores German Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg's 1944 plot to kill Adolf Hitler and how a series of small mishaps thwarted the assassination at the Wolf’s Lair.

He started Paw Paw’s Donuts in 2021 with a doughnut giveaway outside the Hey! Café coffee shop on the Lafitte Greenway after Hurricane Ida. It has since made a name at events and pop-ups and for its Carnival time king cakes.

Find Paw Paw’s Donuts at 619 Pink St. Thursday through Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Paw Paw’s Donuts continues its Sunday appearances at the Crescent City Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to noon at Tad Gormley Stadium (Marconi at Navarre).

disparate Pronunciation: /ˈdɪsp(ə)rət/

Definition: fundamentally different; distinct in nature or quality

Origin: Derived from the Latin word "disparatus," meaning "separated" or "distinct," which is a combination of the prefix "dis-" (meaning "apart" or "away") and "paratus" (meaning "prepared" or "equipped").

Example: The group of students had disparate backgrounds, with some coming from affluent families and others from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Different is an apt description for what "disparate" means. When something is described as disparate, it implies that it is fundamentally distinct or separate in nature or quality. It signifies a clear contrast or divergence between two or more things, highlighting their dissimilarity. Disparate can be used to convey the idea of a significant difference, emphasizing the contrasting characteristics or elements that set them apart. Whether it is used to describe contrasting opinions, diverse cultures, or contrasting features, disparate is an adjective that captures the essence of being fundamentally different.

The hilarious and poignant Broadway adaptation of Tina Fey’s cult teen movie that delivers sharp wit, catchy songs, and a powerful message about kindness.

July 17 - 21, 2024

Directed by Kelly Fouchi

Mainstage, Run time: ~2 hrs, Rated: PG-13

A high-energy and hilarious Broadway adaptation of the hit 2004 film. The show delves into the perilous world of high school cliques and the challenges of fitting in. It follows Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to the cutthroat social hierarchy of an American high school. As she navigates the treacherous dynamics led by the infamous "Plastics," Cady learns important lessons about loyalty, friendship, and staying true to oneself. With catchy pop-infused songs, clever lyrics, and witty dialogue, "Mean Girls" captures the zeitgeist of teenage life while offering a witty and satirical commentary on the damaging effects of bullying and societal pressures. This musical spectacle delivers a relatable and empowering message about embracing individuality and kindness.

2024 Full Moon schedule

(all times Eastern)

• 
  
• July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
• Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
• Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
• Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
• Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
• Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon

For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.

Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.

Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.

Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.

Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.

Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.

Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.

Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.

In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.

Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.

Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.

Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

6-7pm Intro to Swing

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

It's the first day after winter break at East High. The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians and Skater Dudes find their cliques, recount their vacations and look forward to the new year. Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella, a girl he met singing karaoke on his ski trip, has just enrolled at East High. They cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical that is being led by Ms. Darbus. Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella's alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.

The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.

Here's how the slate shapes up:

- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)

- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)

The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.

Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots

Quarter Horse Racing has returned!

We are so excited about the return of Quarter Horse racing to the Fair Grounds. Racing will begin August 15 and conclude on September 14. Join us on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays beginning at 12PM!

The New Orleans Saints will host two open training camp practices for fans once they return from California later this summer.

The Saints announced Monday that the two sessions will take place Aug. 20 and Aug. 23 at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University and at Caesars Superdome, respectively. The times of the practices and fan information will be revealed later.

The announcement came as part of the Saints’ unveiling of their training camp schedule. With the Saints holding camp at the University of California, the Saints will leave for Irvine on Monday, July 22 and stay out west until Aug. 19.

When in Irvine, the Saints will hold two days joint practices with the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16 in leadup to their Aug. 18 preseason showdown at San Francisco. The Saints also have another preseason game a week earlier, when they travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Aug. 10.

The Saints are holding their camp in California this year because of construction updates to their practice facility in Metairie. The team is building a new cafeteria, which is expected to be completed in the fall. Saints officials have said the team’s camp in Irvine will be a one-off, with the plan to have camp at the team’s facility next year.

Practices begin Wednesday, July 24.
