NATIONAL EAT YOUR BEANS DAY
National Eat Your Beans Day is a "live healthy" holiday falls on July 3rd and celebrates the bean vegetable in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Beans (legumes) date back to the early seventh millennium BCE, making them one of the longest-cultivated plants.
Beans are a significant source of protein. If you're looking for complex carbohydrates, folate, fiber, and iron, eat some beans. They are excellent sources for each of those. A very healthy choice for any meal or snack, they are also an excellent source of fiber, low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, folate, and iron.
- There are approximately 40,000 bean varieties in the world.
- Only a fraction of these varieties are mass-produced for regular consumption.
That's a lot of beans! How do we know which ones to choose? Snacking on chickpeas provides us with one of the best choices. Also known as garbanzo beans, these legumes pack a whopping 12.5 grams of fiber, 71 % of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of folate, 84% RDI of Manganese, and 26% RDI of Iron per serving in 1 cup. Add chickpeas to stews like you would any bean. However, they also roast nicely with your favorite herbs and spices for a delicious and healthy snack.
With so many choices, celebrating with beans should be a delicious success!

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 with 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 and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun
- Most importantly, please stay hydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- 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.
For more information about heat-related illnesses and tips on staying cool, visit https://ready.nola.gov/plan/heat/.
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.

Beryl to re-strengthen in the Gulf
After hitting the Yucatan Peninsula early Friday, Beryl is expected to hit the southwestern Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm. Fueled by the Gulf's warm waters, forecasters said the storm is likely to regain hurricane force as it moves generally west or northwest.
The National Hurricane Center's cone shows Beryl reaching hurricane status again early Sunday before dropping back to a tropical storm at landfall on Monday.
People who live in Mexico, Texas and Louisiana should continue to monitor Beryl's movements at hurricanes.gov.

Essence Fest 'clean zone' is now in effect. Here are the rules.
As Essence gears up for its 30th annual Festival of Culture in New Orleans on Thursday, controversial rules that govern the area around the event are already in effect.
The "clean zone" rules, approved by the City Council in June, ban certain activities during festival week— from handing out free samples to selling items from push carts— in an effort to protect event sponsors and organizers from competition.
Similar rules are commonly approved ahead of major events like French Quarter Festival and the NCAA Final Four. But this year, the ordinance provoked a barrage of criticism from residents and business owners who said the rules prevent locals from benefitting from the influx of tourist spending and violate their first amendment rights. In response, the council approved a last-minute change in June to ensure the city, not festival organizers, had ultimate authority over permitted activities.
The clean zone debate is likely to take on greater prominence as New Orleans officials ramp up their preparations— including enacting a clean zone— for next year's Super Bowl, set to take place in the Caesars Superdome in February.
Clean zone rules and boundaries
Under the clean zone restrictions, which went into effect at 6 a.m. Monday and extend through midnight on July 8, the following is prohibited:
- Any "temporary structure or encumbrances of any kind" including tents, canopies, and inflatable structures.
- Transacting "any business upon the public streets, sidewalks, or rights of way" including mobile or push-cart vending "not otherwise permitted."
- Distributing food or beverage samples or any promotional giveaways.
- Advertising for products and services including "cold air balloons, banners, pennants, flags," and more.
- Playing amplified music outside of an enclosed structure.
- Closing streets for any other activity, including film shoots.
Any of these activities are punishable by up to a $500 fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
The clean zone includes the Central Business District, the French Quarter, and part of the Tulane-Gravier neighborhood. The City Council amended the boundaries slightly this year to exclude parts of the 7th Ward.
A subsequent resolution passed by the City Council aims to protect the rights of street performers, who council members say the ordinance does not apply to.
A pattern of controversy
It remains to be seen whether this year's Essence Festival will bring a repeat of some of the controversies that have emerged in recent years.
Last year, Essence organizers shut down a mini book fest hosted by local Black-owned bookstore Baldwin & Co., claiming it violated the clean zone law. A stream of negative publicity and backlash led Essence to drop its lawsuit against the bookstore just a few days later.
The incident followed a similar suit Essence filed against Spotify and local real estate developer Sean Cummings in response to an event held by the music streaming service during the 2022 festival. Essence dropped the lawsuit in 2023.
In June, Essence festival organizers responded to concerns with a statement noting a new process for "local minority and women-owned businesses" that would allow them to apply for free to become a "festival-sanctioned event" during this year's celebration.
It is unclear whether that application process has opened. Representatives from Essence Festival did not respond to a request for comment.

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The New Orleans Police Department is participating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign for the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
According to a news release, the campaign will run through the holiday weekend and aims to prevent drunk driving through increased visibility and enforcement.
New Orleans fire officials offer safety tips ahead of Fourth of July
NOPD officials said the department is “expanding its efforts” during the holiday weekend.
“The goal is to save lives. Even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability,” said NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick.
NOPD officials said drunk driving can lead to jail time and the loss of your driver’s license.
City of New Orleans opens cooling centers as high temperatures continue across city
The NOPD offered the following tips to prevent drunk driving:
- Have a designated, sober driver before drinking.
- There are options to get home safely, including having a designated driver, calling a taxi or using a rideshare service.
- Call law enforcement if you see a drunk driver on the road.
- “Always drive 100% sober.”
- “If it’s your turn to be the designated driver, take your job seriously and don’t drink.”
- “If you have a friend who is about to drink and drive, take the keys away and let a sober driver get your friend home safely.”

What is the modern equivalent of the word "ye"?
The
"The" is the modern equivalent of the archaic word "ye." In Old English, "ye" was used as a plural form of the second person pronoun "you." However, over time, the pronunciation of "ye" shifted to "the." Today, "the" serves as the definite article in English, used before nouns to indicate that they are specific or previously mentioned. It is a crucial component of the English language, appearing in countless sentences and texts. While "ye" has become obsolete, "the" has evolved to become an indispensable part of modern English, seamlessly connecting words and ideas to convey meaning and clarity.

NATIONAL CHOCOLATE WAFER DAY
If you love chocolate, National Chocolate Wafer Day on July 3 allows you to indulge in a delicately sweet cookie with a history. Have one for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Also called sugar wafers, these delicate snacks melt in your mouth. Made since the mid-1800s in the United States, makers called the cookies many names; wafer cookies, sugar wafers, sugar biscuits, fairy wafers. While many enjoyed them as snacks, they also became favorite after-dinner treats or served during teas. Lightly flavored and layered with a creamy filling, the thin cookies delight folks of all ages.
Numerous companies produced them in North America. Regardless of the company, each one considered the production of these cookies an art form. They took pride in everything from their ingredients to the employees and the recipe to the packaging. Over time, companies merged. By the 1930s, the number of production companies dwindled.
Today, they remain an American favorite. With a waffle surface pattern and thin layers, these cookies make an excellent addition to ice cream. Use them as an ingredient in cakes and cheesecakes. While you're baking, use them to decorate, too. If you prefer pie, crushed wafers make a delicious chocolate crust. There are so many ways chocolate wafers can be enjoyed. If you've never tried them, this holiday is the time to give them a whirl.
No matter where or how you are eating your wafers, these tasty treats are positively worth celebrating!

The Rise and Fall of Latin: How a Dead Language Still Lives in Modern Times
The Ancient Beginnings of Latin
The story of Latin begins in the 8th century BC, in a region known as Latium, which encompassed Rome and its surrounding areas in present-day Italy. Latin was the vernacular of these lands, spoken by shepherds, farmers, traders, and eventually, the grand orators and philosophers of Rome. As the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire expanded, Latin spread with it, becoming the lingua franca of an empire that at its height spanned three continents.
The Golden and Silver Ages of Latin Literature
Latin literature thrived, especially during the Golden Age (80 BC – AD 14) and the Silver Age (AD 14 – 200). The Golden Age saw the works of great authors like Virgil, Horace, and Ovid, whose epic poems and lyrical verses are still studied today. The Silver Age was marked by the philosophical musings of Seneca and the satirical wit of Juvenal. These works, written in a language that was both elegant and complex, helped establish Latin as a language of intellectualism and refinement.
Latin as the Language of the Church and Scholarship
With the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, Latin could have met its end. However, it found a new lease on life as the language of the Roman Catholic Church. Church proceedings, theological texts, and the Bible were all in Latin, thus preserving and promoting the language.
In the Middle Ages, Latin also became the language of scholarship. From Copernicus' astronomical theories to Newton's laws of physics, the major scientific works of the period were written in Latin. Similarly, Latin was the language of law, with legal codes and proceedings conducted in it. This use of Latin in various academic and professional fields reinforced its status as a language of learning, authority, and power.
The Decline of Latin
The decline of Latin began in the 17th century with the rise of vernacular languages. As more people became literate, there was a growing demand for books in the languages that they spoke and understood. At the same time, the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment promoted the idea that knowledge should be accessible to all, not just the educated elite. As a result, scholars began to write in their native tongues, leading to the gradual decline of Latin as a language of scholarship.
Latin Today: A Living Dead Language
Today, Latin is considered a 'dead' language, as it has no native speakers. However, it's far from being extinct. Latin lives on in the Roman Catholic Church, where it's still the official language. Latin Masses are held, and important documents are written in Latin.
Latin also survives in academia, particularly in the fields of theology, philosophy, and classical studies. It's also used in law, medicine, and science, with many terms and phrases still in Latin.
Moreover, Latin has had a profound influence on the Romance languages – Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian – all of which evolved from Latin. Even English, a Germanic language, has been heavily influenced by Latin, with about 60% of its vocabulary derived from Latin, either directly or through French.
Finally, the study of Latin continues to be valued for its cognitive benefits. Learning Latin can enhance vocabulary, improve understanding of grammar, and promote critical thinking skills.
In Conclusion: The Persistent Legacy of Latin
Latin's journey from the speech of Roman farmers to the language of an empire, from the voice of the Church and academia to a 'dead' language that continues to live, is a testament to its enduring influence. Latin may no longer be spoken conversationally, but its legacy persists in our languages, our institutions, and our culture. It's a language that links us to our past, and in a way, continues to shape our present. In this sense, Latin is not dead; it's immortal.

French places of memory in Louisiana – The old Ursuline convent
There are only a few architectural signs of the French colonial presence remaining in New Orleans; and there is no doubt that the great fire of 1788 is the main reason for it, making the Ursuline Convent one of the rare examples of what the city might have looked like if history had taken a different path.

Middendorf's Seafood Restaurant
·
Middendorf’s Seafood Restaurant turns 90 on July 4th. That’s right… 90 years of Middendorf’s and Thin Fried Catfish. We're ready to celebrate at both locations, Middendorf’s Manchac and Middendorf’s Slidell. There is something planned every day we're open the week of July 4th.
“90 years is really something, and we want to thank our guests for supporting us all of these years,” said Middendorf’s Owner Karen Pfeifer. “We put our heads together and came up with some really fun ideas for our birthday week including Spin & Win, Everyone Gets Cake, and a Stuffed Animal Giveaway. We love our Dorfers and are incredibly grateful for their support. We cannot do it without them.”
Middendorf’s started out as a small roadside diner back in 1934 in the middle of the Manchac, Louisiana Swamp. The first owners were Louis and Josie Middendorf. It was Mama Josie who created the delicious Thin Fried Catfish recipe that keeps hungry patrons coming back time and time again. We are proud to still be using her recipe today.
Since 1934, Middendorf’s has been locally owned and operated. Horst & Karen Pfeifer took the reins in 2007.
“We’ve had the restaurant now for 17 years, and it’s been both amazing and challenging,” shared Middendorf’s Owner Horst Pfeifer. “It’s hard work having the two locations, keeping them staffed and up to my standards. We’re also in Hurricane Season again, so there’s always a lot of planning and preparation involved. It’s all worth it for Middendorf’s. I love this restaurant and what it means to Louisiana.”
The 2024 Hurricane Season is the 90th one for Middendorf’s. Isn’t that something? See how Horst protects the restaurant in the latest episode of “Hangin’ with Horst” on Middendorf’s YouTube channel.... https://youtu.be/mWGO8-IlwFA?si=1hH5Anhro6vtCHp6
And, a final thought from Horst… “Whatever the future brings, running Middendorf’s is a true labor of love. We’ll keep doing the work to keep this Louisiana icon, the Home of the World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish, going strong. And hopefully, we’ll be talking about this all again at 100 years.”

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 8
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.
