NATIONAL METEOR WATCH DAY | JUNE 30
On June 30th, National Meteor Watch Day encourages us to look to the stars to witness one of the night sky's most thrilling sights. Also known as National Meteor Day, on a cloudless night, people turn their eyes to the heavens in hopes of spotting the glow of a falling star.
Daily millions of meteors enter the Earth’s atmosphere.
National Meteor Watch Day - A Learning Opportunity
When space debris, such as pieces of rock, enter the Earth's atmosphere the friction causes the surrounding air to become scorching hot. This "shooting star" streaking through the sky surrounded by flaming hot air is a meteor.
The majority of the meteoroids that cause meteors are only the size of a pebble.
Meteors sometimes occur in showers. It's an excellent time to plan for a meteor-watching party. Whether we catch a few stray falling stars or witness an entire meteor shower, this day calls for an evening with friends and family under the stars. Identify the constellations while waiting to make a wish or two. Sounds like a romantic night, as well.
Meteor, Meteoroid and Meteor Showers
In the Northern Hemisphere, one of the most active meteor showers is the Perseids. Named after the constellation Perseus where the majority of the activity takes place, particles released by the comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle cause the meteors to shower down onto Earth. One of the most impressive meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, the Perseids put on dazzling displays. Some years, on a clear night with a new moon, skywatchers view more than one meteor per minute! The Perseids are active from mid-July to late August.
We usually observe meteors at night, and they are visible when they are about 34 to 70 miles above the Earth. When they come within 31-51 miles of the Earth, they often disintegrate. Their glow time is usually about a second.
Despite the large number of meteors we see, a small percent of meteoroids hit the Earth’s atmosphere and then skip back into space.
Chemical Colors
The chemical composition and the speed of the meteoroid will cause different hues to the light. Possible colors and elements producing them include:
- Orange/yellow (sodium)
- Yellow (iron)
- Blue/green (copper)
- Purple (potassium)
- Red (silicate)
A list of meteor shower dates, as well as a guide to successful watching, can be found on the EarthSky website.

CITY OPENS EMERGENCY COOLING CENTERS AS EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CONTINUES
NEW ORLEANS - According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the New Orleans area could experience dangerously high temperatures over the weekend and into next week. A combination of heat and humidity could lead to daytime high heat index values, or “feels like” temperatures of 108 to 112 degrees over the next several days.
The NWS has issued a heat advisory for Sunday, June 30, and additional heat-related advisories or warnings are likely during the next week. Showers and thunderstorms may provide some relief from the heat, but temperatures are expected to remain high.
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 includes locations with free, indoor air-conditioned sites for the general public. Individuals in need of heat relief should check this interactive map for updated information on available cooling centers.
Residents are encouraged to visit ready.nola.gov/heat for tips on how to beat the heat.
Community organizations and/or businesses interested in providing a free public cooling site should email ready@nola.gov with the address, dates, and available operational 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:
- Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
- When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening hours.
- Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible.
- To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments.
- Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9-1-1.
- 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.

Rivertown Theaters for the Performing Arts, Kenner LA
'Grammaw and the Magic Goo' runs June 21-30 at Rivertown Theaters.
- Photo provided by Ricky Graham
Children’s theater often has life lessons for young audiences, but there could be more uses for the magic onstage.
In “Grammaw and the Magic Goo,” writer and director Ricky Graham and friends thought about solving some of the city’s problems, like potholes.
“When we started working on [the show] in 2020, we were like, ‘we hope the problem is still around,’” Graham says. “But we didn’t have to worry about it having an expiration date.”
June 21-30. Tickets are $23.84 (including fees) via rivertowntheaters.com

Toups' Family Meal is a non-profit founded by Chef Isaac and Amanda Toups, whose is mission is to bridge the gap of food insecurity in New Orleans. This summer we are focusing on feeding children while they are out of school.
Our June 30th fundraiser is being generously presented by Hardhide Ponchatoula Strawberry Whiskey and will feature the Lost Bayou Ramblers, food by Joel's Lobster Rolls, Cochon King BBQ, and Southern's Fried Chicken. We will also have a silent auction happening on-site. Doors open at 5pm, music starts at 6pm! Chef Isaac Toups will be our MC!
So far this non-profit has provided over 13,000 meals and is track to provide another 50,000 before the end of summer, assuming they get your support.
For more information about the summer food program, and how to donate, please visit https://toupsfamilymeal.com/
More about Toups' Family Meal:
Our goal is to feed underserved communities in our city, which is culturally known for some of the best cuisine in the world. Unfortunately, the disparity we are seeing is some of our hardest working citizens still can’t bring home enough to keep families fed. We find this to be unacceptable. One in three New Orleans families are currently facing food insecurity.
This summer, we are focusing on kids who rely on the free/reduced school lunches during the school year, and supplementing as many meals as we can while they are out of classes for the summer break. We have delivery drivers signed up to deliver meals directly to those who’ve expressed need, and will be dropping off on Tuesdays and Fridays every week. Cold sandwiches, meals ready to heat, as well as shelf stable snacks, fruits and veggies will all be included in our drop-offs weekly. We need help to accomplish this undertaking! Our food-safe certified staff at our restaurant (Toups Meatery) are preparing and assembling all meals, but we need donations to cover the cost of ingredients. Everything we raise is going directly to ensuring the kids who are being raised in the Big Easy are satiated and happy.

What does "erudite" mean?Knowledgeable
Discordant
Detailed
Effervescent
What does "erudite" mean?
Knowledgeable
erudite /ˈɛrjʊdʌɪt/
Definition: having or showing extensive knowledge acquired through reading and study; scholarly
Origin: from Latin eruditus, past participle of erudire "to instruct, educate," from e- "out of" + rudis "unskilled, rough, uncultivated"
Example: The professor's erudite lecture on Shakespeare left the students in awe.
Knowledgeable can be used as a synonym for erudite. Both words describe someone who possesses a deep and wide-ranging knowledge acquired through study and experience. However, while erudite emphasizes a scholarly aspect of knowledge, knowledgeable is a more general term that can refer to any type of expertise or practical knowledge. An erudite person is often associated with academic or intellectual pursuits, while a knowledgeable person is more likely to have practical or hands-on experience. Nonetheless, both words convey a high level of intelligence and expertise in a particular subject.

SOCIAL MEDIA DAY
Social Media Day is observed annually on June 30. In its short life, social media has redefined how people interact, communicate, and share with family, friends, and the world.
With the launch of Friendster in 2002 and MySpace in 2003, social media became mainstream. Then 2004 brought the founding of the king of social media, Facebook. Twitter encouraged us to be succinct by posting our thoughts with fewer than 140 characters. When we express ourselves better through imagery, Instagram, and Flickr offer all the sharing we can handle. And speaking of video, YouTube is the social place for everything from how-to to pop culture to what not to do with your fireworks on the 4th of July.
Social media makes it possible to stay connected and informed about those important people in our lives. Reconnecting with classmates, past work associates, and more is also a valuable part of social media. It has also made it possible to connect with ancestors and find relatives you never even knew existed. Yes, the family tree has become a social media platform as well. MyHeritage.com, Ancestry.com, and many others all supply a social platform where distant family members potentially meet and build their family trees.
Did Someone Say Food?
The Internet has long loved food, and social media is no different. Pinterest, Tumblr, and Wordpress share and socialize about the latest accessible and exciting food trends. This may be the most addicting part of social media. One moment a picture of a decadent, perfectly golden roast duck comes across your news feed. In an instant, the complete video detailing how to execute this delicacy in 17 easy steps is provided for you. One tweet later and you are off to the butcher. In a Snapchat -Instagram -Tumblr hour, you destroy your kitchen and end up with a Pinterest board titled "They Lied."

Language Hotspots: 6 Regions with the Most Linguistic Diversity
The Power of Language Diversity
Language is more than just a tool for communication—it is a powerful expression of a group's history, culture, and identity. With over 7,000 distinct languages spoken worldwide, our planet is a rich tapestry of linguistic diversity. However, this diversity is not evenly distributed. Some regions, known as language hotspots, are teeming with an array of languages. This blog post will spotlight six regions with the most linguistic diversity.
Papuan Languages of New Guinea
Papua New Guinea, a nation in the southwestern Pacific, holds the title for the most linguistically diverse country in the world. With over 800 languages spoken among a population of just under nine million, it is a linguistic hotspot like no other. These languages belong mainly to the Papuan, Austronesian, and Trans-New Guinea families. Despite the country's small size, the rugged terrain and isolated communities have allowed a multitude of languages to develop and thrive.
The Caucasus Crossroads
The Caucasus region, straddling Europe and Asia, is another linguistic hotspot. This region, which includes countries such as Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, is home to around 50 languages from different language families, including Indo-European, Turkic, and Kartvelian. The Caucasus is a crossroads of cultures and languages, with a complex history of migrations, invasions, and political changes contributing to its linguistic richness.
Africa's Linguistic Mosaic: Nigeria
Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, is a linguistic mosaic. Over 500 languages are spoken in Nigeria, making it one of the most linguistically diverse countries in Africa. These languages span several families, including Niger-Congo, Afro-Asiatic, and Nilo-Saharan. The three dominant languages—Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo—each have millions of speakers, but there are also numerous smaller languages, reflecting the country's ethnic and cultural diversity.
Amazon Rainforest: A Language Paradise
The Amazon rainforest, stretching across nine countries in South America, is not just a biodiversity hotspot—it's also a language hotspot. It is estimated that around 350 languages are spoken in the Amazon, many of them by small, isolated communities. These languages belong to dozens of different families, reflecting the deep history and diversity of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon.
Indigenous Languages of Australia
Australia, particularly the Northern Territory, is a significant language hotspot, with a high concentration of indigenous languages. There are around 120 Aboriginal languages still spoken today, representing a fraction of the languages that existed prior to European settlement. These languages, which include Arrernte, Kala Lagaw Ya, and Warlpiri, are a vital part of Australia's cultural heritage. Despite the threats posed by language loss, efforts are underway to revitalize and preserve these languages.
The Melting Pot of India
India, one of the world's oldest civilizations, is a melting pot of languages. With over 1,600 mother tongues reported in the 2011 Census, India is incredibly linguistically diverse. The languages belong to several families, most notably Indo-Aryan and Dravidian, but also Austroasiatic and Tibeto-Burman. Despite the dominance of Hindi and English, many regional languages flourish, underpinning the rich tapestry of India's cultures and traditions.
Preserving Linguistic Diversity
These six language hotspots represent the incredible linguistic diversity of our planet. However, this diversity is under threat, with many languages facing extinction. It is estimated that one language dies out every two weeks. Preserving linguistic diversity is not just about saving languages—it's about preserving the unique cultures, histories, and knowledge systems they embody. As we celebrate the richness of these language hotspots, let's also commit to safeguarding the world's linguistic heritage for future generations.

Ain't There No More New Orleans
Derby Gisclair
1867: St. Charles Street (Avenue)
an 1867 photograph by Theodore Lilienthal of St. Charles Avenue taken from Poydras Street. From his studio at 121 Canal Street (corner of Chartres Street), Lilienthal was among the pioneers in photography in New Orleans. But like most new technologies, Lilienthal supplemented his business by making picture frames, picture books, scrapbooks, and other related items. As his business grew he employed 23 people by 1881 as his prints became popular as far away as Mexico, Cuba, and South America.

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Safety & Permits’ Healthy Homes Administration today announced their next series of Landlord Information Sessions. After the success of the first session, held on May 30 at Gernon Brown Recreation Center, and due to overwhelming interest from residents, the Healthy Homes Administration has now planned an additional seven meetings.
Aimed at providing information for rental property owners across the city, each Landlord Information Session will offer landlords an opportunity to learn the requirements of the Healthy Homes Ordinance, as well as how to register rental property with the City of New Orleans.
The registry process for Healthy Homes is being implemented in a phased approach, based on the total number of units on each parcel. The next round is for parcels with 4 – 49 dwelling units. Registration for these owners must be completed between July 1 to August 15, 2024. Owners of parcels with 4 – 49 dwelling units are encouraged to attend one of these sessions to receive more information on the process.
There will be at least one meeting in each City Council District, including two in Districts C and E. The dates and locations are as follows:
- Thursday, June 27 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Andrew Pete Sanchez Multi-Service Center (1616 Fats Domino Ave.)
- Friday, June 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Treme Recreation Community Center (900 N. Villere St.)
- Monday, July 1 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.)
- Tuesday, July 2 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.)
Attendees must register here before attendinsession. More information about the Healthy Homes Administration can be found online at nola.gov/next/healthy-homes.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, July 1
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

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.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

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.
