LABOR DAY | FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER
Labor Day on first Monday of every September recognizes the men and women who labor to build this country. Through a time-honored tradition with roots in the coordinated efforts of the labor movement of the 1800s, we salute the American workforce.
Since the founding of the United States, the country has relied on its workforce for its infrastructure. From its streets and buildings to its transportation and security, the nation runs on labor. The labor of what we create, build and harvest fuels our education and inspires our dreams.
- This National Day also signals the official end of summer. Those who work hard, need time to play, too. With the school year starting and summer winding down, the long weekend beckons. They use the extra day earned to spend with families and catch some R&R. Some will explore cities while others will seek outdoor adventure. No matter where it’s spent, it’s well earned.

10 Words That Came from Fashion
Clothing and fashion are a huge part of modern life. But did you know that fashion has also left its mark on the English language, with some of the most commonly used words in the English language having a connection to the world of fashion? In this blog post, we will look at ten words that have their roots in fashion.
Culottes
The first word on this list is "culottes". Derived from the French phrase “culotte courtes”, it refers to a type of knee-length trousers that are split up the sides. This garment was popular among both men and women during the Renaissance period, and the word eventually made its way into English.
Jeans
The word "jeans" is also derived from French, as it comes from the French phrase "bleu de Genes", meaning "blue of Genoa". This phrase is a reference to the city of Genoa in Italy, which was known for its high-quality blue dye. Eventually, the phrase was shortened to "jeans", and the rest is history.
Chiffon
The word "chiffon" is derived from the French word "chiffe", which means "rag". It is an extremely lightweight and sheer fabric, which was popular in the 19th century for evening wear and haute couture.
Sari
The word "sari" is derived from the Sanskrit word "sattika", which means "strip of cloth". It is a traditional garment worn in South Asia, consisting of a long piece of fabric draped around the body.
Denim
The word "denim" is derived from the French phrase "serge de Nimes", which means "serge from Nimes". This phrase is a reference to the city of Nimes in France, which was known for its high-quality serge fabric, which eventually became known as "denim".

What does "resplendent" mean?
Pungent
Clandestine
Loquacious
Radiant
What does "resplendent" mean?
Radiant
resplendent pronunciation: ri-SPLEN-dent
Definition: shining brightly; splendid or magnificent in appearance
Origin: from Latin resplendere "to shine brightly"
Example: The bride looked resplendent in her white gown and sparkling jewelry.
Radiant is a synonym for resplendent and means emitting light or shining brightly. The two words share the common theme of brightness and splendor, with resplendent specifically referring to outward appearance while radiant can refer to both appearance and inner qualities. Both words evoke a sense of awe and admiration, often used to describe beautiful landscapes, elegant clothing, or dazzling performances. The difference lies in the specific type of brightness being described, with resplendent suggesting a more formal or grand appearance and radiant being a more general description of something that gives off light or energy.

Flannel
The word "flannel" is derived from the Welsh word "gwlanen", which means "woolen fabric". It is a soft, lightweight fabric that is often used to make clothing, such as shirts, jackets, and trousers.
Tweed
The word "tweed" is derived from the Scottish phrase "tweel", which means "twill weave". It is a rough, durable fabric that is often used for tailored jackets and coats.
Brogue
The word "brogue" is derived from the Irish word "bróg", which means "shoe". It is a type of dress shoe with decorative perforations on the toe, which was traditionally worn by Irish peasants.
Kilt
The word "kilt" is derived from the Scottish word "kilt", which means "to tuck up". It is a traditional garment worn by men in Scotland, which consists of a pleated skirt-like garment that is worn around the waist.
Tuxedo
The word "tuxedo" is derived from the French phrase "toujours xédé", which means "always dressed". It is a formal suit that is typically worn to semi-formal or formal events, such as weddings and galas.
As you can see, fashion has had a huge influence on the English language. From "culottes" and "jeans" to "tuxedos" and "kilts", these ten words all have their roots in fashion. So the next time you're talking about clothing or fashion, remember that you may be using words that were originally derived from the world of fashion.

NATIONAL MACADAMIA NUT DAY | SEPTEMBER 4
National Macadamia Nut Day on September 4th recognizes a delicious nut found in many baked goods and desserts.
Delectable macadamia nuts have a creamy buttery taste. These nuts add a subtle richness to everything they grace. Also versatile, macadamia nuts originated in Australia. They were named for the physician and chemist, John Macadam, who discovered them. Macadam also pursued furthering the cultivation of the tree in Australia, making it more abundant.
Similar to large evergreens, the macadamia tree grows between 30 and 40 feet high. Although they are native to Australia, most of today’s world supply grows in Hawaii. Growers first began cultivating macadamia trees in Hawaii in 1921. Indonesia, South Africa, and California also grow this delicious nut commercially.
Like many nuts, macadamia may be eaten raw or roasted. Bakers particularly like to use them in baked goods, such as cookies. They pair exceptionally well with chocolate, too.
Since the macadamia is nutrient-rich, they are known for their health benefits. But, of course, being in the nut family has its benefits, too! Macadamias are a valuable energy source, high in dietary fiber, gluten-free, high in mono-unsaturated fat. They also provide an excellent source of minerals and contain many essential B-complex vitamins.

About the Exhibition
In 1776, many colonists made a great leap to a new idea: maybe they could do without monarchy and aristocracy. If they could unite with one another, “the common people” of the colonies might form a more equal society and government. American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, examines the continuing evolution of America’s experiment in a government “of, by, and for the people.” The exhibition will be on view at The Historic New Orleans Collection from June 17, 2023, to October 8, 2023. Admission is free.
Drawn from the permanent exhibition of the same name at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, American Democracy explores the challenges and triumphs that generations of Americans encountered as they sought to create a government based on the sovereignty of the people. It explores the history of citizen participation, debate, and compromise from the nation’s formation to today.
Featuring engaging multimedia experiences, immersive design, and artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution, state historical organizations, and The Historic New Orleans Collection, American Democracy demonstrates that self-government relies on every citizen’s active participation in the quest to form a “more perfect union.” Exhibition sections explore the origins of American democracy, the changing identity of eligible voters, the machinery of democracy, the right to petition and protest beyond the ballot, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens.
American Democracy is sponsored locally by the 2023 Bienville Circle, J.P.Morgan Private Bank, and WDSU-TV.
A companion exhibition, “Yet She Is Advancing”: New Orleans Women and the Right to Vote, 1878–1970, is on view through November 5, 2023. Expanding on a 2020 virtual exhibition on THNOC’s website, the exhibition tells a decades-long story through objects, images, documents, and interactive displays—and through the words of the New Orleans women who for nearly 100 years persisted in their struggle to obtain the vote

THE WINE: We’ll have two wine aficionados with us to showcase Marchesi Antinori and Prunotto Italian Wines — Mallory Young of Southern Glazer’s Signature Fine Wines & Spirits (the world’s preeminent distributor of wine and spirits) and Ashleigh Hammel, the Brand Development Manager for Ste. Michelle Wine Estates for Southern Glazer’s. Ste. Michelle Wine Estates has a partnership with Marchesi Antinori and Prunotto wineries.
- Marchesi Antinori — The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. All throughout its history, twenty-six generations long, the Antinori family has managed the business directly making innovative and sometimes bold decisions while upholding the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.
- Antinori also owns Prunotto — The winemaker’s vineyards extend over approximately 161 acres in the territories of The Langhe and Monferrato. Prunottos’ rich heritage and unique attributes are revealed in each bottle of wine, capturing the thousands of different expressions that each vineyard parcel is able to reflect. It’s a continuous challenge between tradition and innovation.
THE FOOD: European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer will prepare a four course gourmet Italian meal, complimented by the carefully chosen Italian wines. Chef Pfeifer is the current Owner of Middendorf’s and the former owner of Bella Luna, a fine dining restaurant in the French Quarter. He has a wonderful meal planned for “A Taste of Italy”… or perhaps we should say a delizioso meal. Buon Appetito!

It’s Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s Manchac & Middendorf’s Slidell! Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September, handmade paper-thin fettuccine is on the menu.
This mouth-watering dish is served with your choice of classic Alfredo or Marinara Sauce and topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese with optional add-ons of shrimp, crabmeat and chicken.
- Fettuccine with Alfredo Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 15.25
- Fettuccine with Marinara Sauce topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 15.25
- Optional add-ons:
- Shrimp 10.95
- Crabmeat 9.95
- Chicken 6.95
- Side of Fettuccine topped with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese 9.50
Fun Facts:
- Our handmade, paper-thin fettuccine was a guest favorite at Bella Luna in the French Quarter. Bella Luna was a fine dining restaurant owned and operated by Horst and Karen Pfeifer. It closed due to Hurricane Katrina and never reopened. The memory of Bella Luna lives on through Fettuccine Frenzy at Middendorf’s. Same Pasta. Same Taste. None of the Fancy.
- Middendorf’s Owner and European Master Chef Horst Pfeifer makes the fettuccine from scratch which consists solely of Semolina flour and eggs. It’s a very time consuming process to make the fettuccine so paper-thin, but it’s definitely worth it.
- Fettuccine is available all day (lunch and dinner).
- Our full menu is also available.
- Uncooked fettuccine is also available for purchase to make a quick meal at home.
We hope you can join us for Fettuccine Frenzy — Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in September!

Author Talk: "And the Dead Shall Rise"
Thursday, September 7th
In 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jewish man named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens.
110 years later, Steve Oney, author of And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank, will discuss why this chilling story of murder and revenge still matters -- and why we're still talking about it.
Join us at the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience for this free, in-person event on Thursday, September 7th at 6pm.

THE DOOKY CHASE KITCHEN: LEAH’S LEGACY cooking series celebrates Leah Chase, the “Queen of Creole Cuisine.”
The 26-part cooking series, produced by WYES-TV in New Orleans, was shot on location at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant with dishes prepared by younger generations of the Chase family who have led the restaurant since Leah’s death in 2019.
Viewers will meet Leah’s grandson, Edgar “Dook” Chase IV, who now oversees the restaurant’s kitchen; her niece Cleo Robinson, who joined Leah in the kitchen in 1980; and the restaurant’s newest chef, Leah’s great-granddaughter Zoe Chase. Paired with some of the menus are specialty cocktails crafted by Leah’s granddaughter Eve Marie Haydel, the restaurant’s beverage manager who has updated drink recipes from the restaurant’s earlier days. Granddaughter Chase Kamata narrates. Each 30-minute episode explores a new take on Creole classics and a different chapter of the restaurant’s history.
See it every Saturday at 10am and on Sundays at 11:30am. Watch on WYES-TV and stream on wyes.org/live and on the WYES and PBS Apps. Out of WYES’ viewing area?

Tulane business forum to discuss Louisiana’s next-generation economy
Lance Traweek,
As businesses pursue new opportunities in Louisiana’s legacy industries, a panel of executives and experts will discuss the state’s emerging economy and what they’re doing now to position themselves for future success.
For the 44th annual Tulane Business Forum, topics will include energy, health care, real estate and gaming.
Titled “Winning Strategies: Louisiana’s Next Generation Economy,” the forum will take place on Friday, September 15, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
Presented by the Tulane Association of Business Alumni (TABA), which represents more than 25,000 graduates of Tulane University’s A. B. Freeman School of Business, the forum is the association’s main event and one of the region’s largest annual conferences dedicated to local and national business topics.
“Louisiana’s economy has long been driven by industries like oil and gas, health care and hospitality, but now we’re seeing a shift, with visionary leaders embracing new technologies, approaches and business models,” Louis David, president of TABA, said in the news release. “The 44th annual Tulane Business Forum showcases some of these future-focused executives who are developing winning strategies for the future.”
“This year’s forum highlights many of the strategic themes we’re focusing on in our programs, including our newly redesigned MBA,” Paulo Goes, dean of the Freeman School and one of this year’s speakers, said in the news release. “Effectively managing the energy transition, assessing the financial impact of climate change, and understanding the metrics of key industries like real estate and health care — these are subjects that will play a growing role in business over the next decade and that every manager needs to be familiar with.”
Highlighting this year’s forum will be keynote presentations from two executives: Dan Real, chief experience officer at Caesars Digital and Caesars Entertainment Inc., who will outline the past, present and future of sports betting; and Gregory C. Feirn, CEO of LCMC Health, who will discuss the rapidly evolving health care business and his vision for LCMC.
The forum will also feature more than a dozen speakers addressing topics such as energy transition, real estate development, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), and changing state and federal tax regulations.
This year’s speakers include:
• Laura Beauchamp, Director of Resource Planning and Market Operations, Entergy
• Colette Hirstius, SVP of Deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Shell
• James Martin, CEO, Gulf Wind Technology
• Adrian A. D’Arcy, Founding Partner, D’Arcy Vicknair LLC
• Tara C. Hernandez, President & CEO, JCH Properties+
• Cullan Maumus, Managing Director, NORF Companies
• Daniela Mills, SVP, Practice Leader – General Property, Lockton Companies LLC
• Molly Crouch, Corporate Director of Sustainability North America, Sodexo
• Jarod Davis, Global Policy Director for Social Equity, Dow Inc.
• Alan Harrell, Partner, Phelps Dunbar LLP
• Richard J. Roth III, Founder and Managing Partner, Roth Law Firm LLC
• Peter A. Wilson, Jr., Partner, Roth Law Firm LLC
Panel moderators include:
• Lacy McManus, Executive Director, Future Energy, Greater New Orleans Inc.
• Andrew “AJ” Brooks, Lecturer & Director of Undergraduate Certificate Programs, A. B. Freeman School of Business
• Nene Glenn Gianfala, Vice President, Shareholder, Chaffe & Associates Inc.
Registration for the forum is available online or in person on the day of the event, and discounted registration is available for Tulane alumni.
The forum offers a variety of continuing education credits. Accountants can earn 5.0 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits, engineers can earn 5.0 Professional Development Hour (PDH) credits, and attorneys can earn 3.33 general Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits. For more information about continuing education credits, visit the Tulane Business Forum website.

DETAILED SCHEDULE WITH SPEAKER BIOS
Presented by the makers of the annual Joan of Arc Parade
- 10:00 a.m. Salon Begins, Welcome Remarks
-
10:00 a.m. “Pilgrimage in the Way of Joan,” by Stephen Binz, Biblical scholar and tour guide. Stephen Binz, a biblical scholar and pilgrimage leader, will describe his recent travels to the sites in France associated with Joan of Arc. His travelogue will include his photography and descriptions of the places associated with the calling, courage, sanctity, virtues, and martyrdom of the Maid of Orleans. As a writer and organizer of journeys to sacred places, Stephen will explore the ways that pilgrimage enhances the travelers’ encounter with Saint Joan as she continues to inspire communities today. See his work at Bridge-B.com.
- 11:15 a.m. “Emmeline in Orléans: The Maid from New Orleans in Orleans, France,” by Emmeline Meyers (2023 “Maid of Honor” for New Orleans)
- 12:15-1:30 Lunch Break outside under the oaks with giant dragon puppet demonstration. Presenting “Adversaire,” Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc’s walking 12-foot tall parade dragon with a 16-foot wingspan! Find out how he is made and see him get assembled and up on his feet. Stay tuned for a link to pre-order from for lunch, pick up a snack from the nearby Boot, or bring a sack lunch.
- 1:30 p.m. “Joan 2031: The 9-Year Novena,” by Catholic author Jaymie Stuart Wolfe. Krewe board member Jaymie Wolfe will present information on the 9-year Novena to St. Joan of Arc that began at the end of 2022. The 600th anniversary of Joan’s death (1431) in 2031 inspired Catholic philosopher Thibaud Collins to call for an extended spiritual campaign for the renewal of faith in France. Each year focuses on one of St. Joan’s nine virtues. Learn how you can participate in this spiritual journey of contemplation and find out everything you ever wanted to know about this traditional prayer form from our resident Krewe Catholic expert!
- 2:45-3:45 p.m. “French on Shifting Ground: Land, Language, and Place,” by Tulane University professor and author Nathalie Dajko. Professor Dajko will teach us about the history of the French language in Louisiana—from native peoples to Cajun and Caribbean immigrants—and how their journey of language and loss reflects the environmental erosion that is central to our state’s story.
- 4:00-5:00 p.m. “Joan of Art: The Journey of Creating Joan.” Local artists who have work on display in our 2023 Joan of Art show, as well as past exhibitions, will converse about what it’s like to make art inspired by Joan of Arc, what they learned by creating their work about her, and how her image has evolved over the years to reflect the time and place of artists portraying her.
- 5:00 p.m. Salon ends

September Writers’ Clinic:
The Elements of Fiction; Point of View
METAIRIE – Two local writers will make presentations for other writers on Saturday, Sept. 16 at the East Bank Regional Library, 4747 W. Napoleon, Metairie.
The sessions – for beginners or experienced writers – are free of charge and open to the public.
There is no registration.
9:30 a.m. - Christie Cognevich, PhD – Elements of Fiction
Christie Cognevich, PhD, a member of the staff of the Jefferson Parish Library, will discuss the main elements of fiction – setting, character, plot, conflict, and style.
She has an MFA in creative writing for children and young adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts (2022). She is the author of the YA non-fiction books Depression: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2020) and Dealing with Stress: Insights and Tips for Teenagers (2022), both published by Rowman & Littlefield. In addition to her non-fiction work on mental health, she writes YA fiction, picture books, and poetry.
Cognevich holds a doctoral degree in English literature from Louisiana State University, and she taught English literature and writing for more than a decade. Her scholarly specialties include Romantic and Victorian poetry. Her doctoral thesis focused on the late-eighteenth-century British sonnet revival and poet Charlotte Smith, who was one of William Wordsworth's early inspirations. In addition to Cognevich's published work in scholarly journals such as Essays in Romanticism, she has done extensive archival research and received fellowships to the Armstrong Browning Library at Baylor University to study its collection of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning papers and the Lilly Library at Indiana University to study its collection of Sylvia Plath papers.
11 a.m. - David Armand – Point of View
David Armand, assistant professor and writer-in-residence, Department of English, Southeastern Louisiana State University, Hammond, will discuss point of view, the “eye” or narrative voice through which a writer tells a story. When one writes a story, a decision must be made to determine who is telling the story, and to whom they are telling it.
Armand serves as associate editor for Louisiana Literature Press. In 2010, he won the George Garrett Fiction Prize for his first novel, The Pugilist's Wife, which was published by Texas Review Press. His second novel, Harlow, was published by Texas Review Press in 2013. David's third novel, The Gorge, was published on October 1, 2015, by Southeast Missouri State University Press, and his poetry chapbook, The Deep Woods, was published in September 2015 by Blue Horse Press. David's memoir, My Mother's House, was published in March 2016 by Texas Review Press. He is currently working on his sixth book, The Lord's Acre, as well as a second memoir and a collection of poetry.

Final Four Rematch: LSU WBB To Face Virginia Tech in SEC/ACC Challenge
Story by Zack Nagy
© Provided by LSU Country on FanNation
LSU will host Virginia Tech in a Final Four rematch on November 30 at 8 p.m. CT as a part of the ACC/SEC Challenge.
The Tigers and Hokies met last season in the Final Four as LSU came from behind in the fourth quarter to clinch a spot in the national championship game. The Tigers trailed by nine to start the fourth quarter but outscored the Hokies by 16 in the final quarter to claim LSU’s first national championship game berth. LSU defeated Iowa two days later for the national championship.
LSU will enter the season with multiple players returning from the program’s first ever national championship team along with a talented list of newcomers that include the nation’s No. 1 rated recruiting class and the top two players from this year’s transfer portal.

Forward Angel Reese headlines LSU’s returners as the defending Most Outstanding Player from the Final Four. She set the NCAA record with 34 double-doubles throughout the season as a dominant scorer and rebounder. Reese led the SEC in both scoring (23.0 ppg) and rebounding (15.4 rpg).
Guard Flau’jae Johnson is another returning starter for the Tigers who earned SEC Freshman of the Year. In her first year of college basketball, Johnson averaged 11.0 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. Guard Kateri Poole started in LSU’s final five games throughout the championship run, bringing a defensive physicality to the court while having a knack to knock down big shots for the Tigers.
LSU will also bring back contributors like forward Sa’Myah Smith who was named to the SEC All-Freshman and guard Last-Tear Poa. Both Smith and Sa’Myah played critical and productive minutes off the bench in the national championship win over Iowa.
The Tigers top-rated incoming freshmen class is headlined by guard Mikaylah Williams who was named the 2023 Morgan Wooten National Player of the Year as the top high school player. Forward Aalyah Del Rosario, the nation’s No. 7 rated player, played in the McDonald’s All-American game with Williams and the Tigers also bring in freshmen guard Angelica Velez who was named Tennessee’s Division II-A Miss Basketball and guard Janae Kent.
LSU was active in the transfer portal, adding guard Hailey Van Lith and forward Aneesah Morrow who were ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in ESPN’s transfer portal rankings. Van Lith averaged 19.7 points, 4.5 assists and 3.2 rebounds last season, earning AP All-America honorable mention honors while leading Louisville to the Elite Eight. Van Lith and Iowa’s Caitlin Clark are the only two players in the country who averaged at least 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists throughout the year. Morrow was a lethal scorer (24.7 ppg) and rebounder (12.2 rpg) at DePaul. Her and Reese were the only two players in the country to rank inside the top 10 in the nation in both scoring and rebounding.
