NATIONAL JUNK FOOD DAY
July 21 dedicates a giant menu of items to National Junk Food Day. This day permits us to chow down on the foods we usually don't include in our daily diet.
Junk foods, by definition, typically contain high fats, sugars, salt, and calories and very little nutritional value. With the advent of packaged foods during the late 1800s, junk food made its way into American life. Still, home-cooked meals remained the standard for several more decades. Eventually, after World War II, the artery-clogging industry took off. Since the population ate out more, traveled more, the industry was primed to produce products at an increased rate.
From the frozen food aisle to fast food chains, a myriad of choices for consumers flooded the market. Potato chips, baked goods and so much more filled supermarket shelves, prepackaged and ready to go.
By the 1970s, junk foods earned a name and a bad one, too. Michael Jacobson, a microbiologist, is credited with coining the phrase. He also set out to curb our appetite for the high sugar, high salt, high preservative foods Americans consumed at an alarming rate.
While deep-fried, fat-laced foods increase our waistlines, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers, an occasional indulgence shouldn't impact a healthy, diverse diet and lifestyle. Also, producers make healthy versions of our favorite junk foods to entice us to enjoy a little.

NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY
Dish or cone? That's all we need to know. National Ice Cream Day on the 3rd Sunday in July offers up every flavor on the menu to honor the day! The holiday also lands in the middle of National Ice Cream Month.
Thousands of years ago, people in the Persian Empire put snow in a bowl, poured concentrated grape juice over it, and ate it as a treat. Even when the weather was hot, they would savor this sweet treat. Their trick? They placed snow in underground chambers known as yakchal where the temperatures kept the snow from melting. The Persians also hiked to the mountain tops by their summer capital to gather snowfall.
The Chinese, under the Tang Dynasty around 697 AD, took to freezing dairy with salt and ice. However, the results aren't exactly the ice cream we enjoy today. Frozen treats and beverages later, culinary folks point to Naples, Italy as the birthplace of the first ice cream. They give credit to Antonio Latini. He was born in 1642 and created a milk-based sorbet.
In the United States, the Quaker colonists earn the nod for bringing their ice recipes over with them. They opened the first ice cream shops, including shops in New York and other cities during the colonial era.
U.S. Ice Cream Facts
- Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson enjoyed ice cream.
- 1813 -First Lady Dolley Madison served ice cream at the Inaugural Ball.
- 1832 - African American confectioner, Augustus Jackson, created multiple ice cream recipes as well as a superior technique to manufacture ice cream.
- 1843 - Philadelphian, Nancy Johnson, received the first U.S. patent for a small-scale hand-cranked ice cream freezer.
- 1920 - Harry Burt puts the first ice cream trucks on the streets.

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
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.

ESPN names Tiger Stadium
the best college football stadium in America
Source: ESPN
By: Domenic Purdy
BATON ROUGE — Ahead of its 100th anniversary celebration, Tiger Stadium has been named the best college football stadium in the country in a new ESPN poll of college football writers.
According to ESPN, 14 of ESPN college football writers ranked the best stadiums in the sport with "no parameters, no criteria." Writers were asked to submit their top 20 stadiums in order and each stadium was awarded points based on their standings. Forty-two stadiums received at least one vote
Death Valley received 247 out of 280 possible points, with writer Chris Low calling the field "pure nirvana for football fans."
"When the Golden Band From Tigerland hits those first four notes upon stepping onto the field for pregame festivities, there's nothing else quite like it," Low said.
Rounding out the top 5 were the Rose Bowl, Michigan Stadium, Notre Dame Stadium and Beaver Stadium at Penn State.
LSU is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Tiger Stadium with new lighting and signage improvements, as well as a game honoring the stadium's legacy on Oct. 12 against Ole Miss.

It truly has been an honor to be commissioned by Tiger Athletic Foundation to create this commemorative piece of artwork to celebrate the monumental centennial birthday of Tiger Stadium! I wanted my artwork to reflect the highest of energy that only LSU’s loyal fans show every game day, especially in “Death Valley”. Our great state has only one SEC school, so when LSU plays, we forget about everything else and unite as ONE! I hope that when you see this print, you’re instantly transported to LSU’s game day in Death Valley… you’re filled with excitement and anticipation alongside countless fans to encourage our Tigers on to a big “W”! Who’s ready for this year’s season?!?! Let’s GEAUX TIGAHS!

The British Empire is considered the largest empire in history, covering 24% of the Earth's land and ruling over 23% of the world's population at its peak in 1913 and 1920. The empire began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries with trading posts and overseas possessions established by England, and expanded greatly in the 19th century. By 1920, the empire covered 13.71 million square miles, or 35.5 million square kilometers. The British Empire's influence is still felt today through its legal, linguistic, constitutional, and cultural legacy, and remnants of the empire include 14 small territories such as Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. | | | |

Doors open at 1:00 PM. This event is FREE and open to the public. Ample parking is available at the rear of the building. Enjoy delicious German food, tasty beers and a full bar.

Drew Brees to open ‘Pickle N Pins’ in Metairie, replacing Surge Adventure Park
CityBusiness Staff Reports
New Orleans Saints fans and local pickleball enthusiasts will be excited that Drew Brees will be busy this fall.
By the end of September, Brees plans to his open his next business venture, Pickle N Pins, a full bar, restaurant, and entertainment venue that will feature five pickleball courts, duckpin bowling, darts, padel, axe throwing, cornhole, among other activities. There will be two padel courts. Padel is a racquet sport combining elements of tennis and squash.
The family-friendly, entertainment facility will be located at 6930 Veterans Memorial Blvd. near Lafreniere Park. It replaces Surge Adventure Park, which was opened in 2017 by Brees and business partner Darren Balsamo, the same two partners opening Pickle N Pins.
“Pickle N Pins is truly one of a kind, nothing like this exists in the country and we are excited to bring it to Metairie first,” Brees said in a news release. “This will be the go-to destination for parties, events, get togethers, or just a fun night out. And for people who love pickleball or padel, it will be next level with leagues, tournaments, and open play.”
Brees also owns several business ventures in the greater New Orleans area, including Smalls Sliders, Walk On’s Sports Bistreaux, and Surge Entertainment.
Updates on Pickle N Pins will be available on the company’s Facebook page. Job fairs will be held at the location in the coming weeks.
In 2023, Brees launched the NOLA Pickle Fest, which will return this year to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center on Aug. 7-11, 2024. The festival featured 24 tournament courts, live music, food, and a celebrity exhibition match with Brees and John McEnroe. Proceeds benefit the Brees Dream Foundation.
Brees is also bringing his pickleball business to Biloxi. He is partnering with Utah-based Picklr to open an indoor pickleball facility in Biloxi. The location will be in a former Hobby Lobby building on Pass Road at Eisenhower Drive. The 14-court facility is set to open in October.
Brees’ Pickle N Pins will join another pickleball venture in Jefferson Parish that is expected to be completed by the end of the year in Metairie – nine outdoor pickleball courts at Mike Miley Playground on West Metairie near David Drive.
Orleans Parish is home to The Exchange Pickleball + Bar in the Lower Garden District, the only dedicated pickleball facility combining air conditioned indoor and outdoor courts, food and drinks in the Gulf South. The dinking, drinking, and dining started on Aug. 8, 2023.
The Exchange venue, in the former warehouse space near Tchoupitoulas Walmart, features approximately 25,000 square feet of six air-conditioned indoor courts, one outdoor court, ping-pong, corn hole, restaurant and full-service bar. Messina’s Catering, a more than 60-year-old New Orleans caterer, is the daily food and beverage partner and caterer for parties and events.
The Association of Pickleball Professionals estimates 48.3 million U.S. adults, or 19% of our entire population, have played at least one game in the last 12 months.

quagmire /ˈkwaɡˌmī(ə)r/
Definition: A soft boggy area of land that gives way underfoot. Alternatively, it can also refer to a complex or hazardous situation from which it is difficult to free oneself.
Origin: The word quagmire is derived from the English "quag", a dialect term for 'bog', and "mire", another term for marsh or bog, from Middle English.
Example: The hikers found themselves stuck in a quagmire after the heavy rain.
In response to "What does 'quagmire' mean?", a soft boggy area perfectly encapsulates the essence of the term. Quagmire refers to a marshy ground whose surface gives way when walked on, making it difficult to traverse. It's a natural trap, with a surface that appears solid but is actually quite soft and unstable. This reflects its metaphorical use to describe complicated or sticky situations that are hard to extract oneself from, much like trying to walk through a literal quagmire.

Fiddler on the Roof Jr.
Onstage This Weekend Only
@ Westwego Performing Arts Theatre
177 Sala Avenue in Westwego
Saturday, July 20 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, July 21 at 2:00 p.m.
This special adaptation of the nine-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Fiddler on the Roof JR. follows Tevye the milkman as he tries to protect his daughters and his way of life from a changing world. Created by Broadway legends Jerome Robbins, Harold Prince, Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein, Fiddler on the Roof JR. tackles the universal theme of tradition in ways that reach across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion.
Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to marry off his daughters and instill in them a sense of tradition in the face of growing anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia.

NATIONAL LAMINGTON DAY
July 21 is National Lamington Day on the National Day Calendar. This delicious food holiday celebrates Australia’s most famous culinary icon, the Aussie lamington. Today, we are encouraging people to try lamington while spreading the word about this tasty cake.
Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland, Australia from 1896 to 1901 receives credit for creating the lamington. Lamington consists of a sponge cake dipped in chocolate. After dipping the cake in chocolate, he decided to sprinkle the cake with fine pieces of coconut. The rest is delicious history!
All the stories about how the lamington came about involve Lord Lamington. One story suggests that his chef was called up on short notice to feed unexpected guests. The chef made the cake with the limited number of ingredients he had on hand. However, the tasty cake so impressed the guests, they asked for the recipe.
Another story suggests a mix-up in the kitchen for bringing us this delicious cake. In this story, a maidservant accidentally drops Lord Lamington's favorite sponge cake into melted chocolate. However, not wanted to waste the food, Lord Lamington suggests covering the chocolate-covered sponge cake with coconut. Besides being a tasty addition, the coconut would help keep his fingers from getting messy. Satisfied, Lord Lamington devoured the accidentally-created cake.
The first mention of the cake appears in an 1896 newspaper relating to events honoring Lord Lamington. Recipes soon followed, too. Queensland Country Life newspaper printed the first recipe for lamington as early as 1900.
No matter how lamington came about, Aussies and New Zealanders quickly made it one of their favorites. Today, they enjoy this iconic delicacy with strawberry jam in the center and a dollop of whipped cream on top. Other lamington flavors include jaffa, lemon, and raspberry. The cake is especially popular on Australia Day.

The Influence of Technology on Modern Vocabulary
In the modern era, technology is a pervasive part of our everyday lives. From the smartphones we carry in our pockets to the laptops we use for work, technology shapes our actions, communication, and even our language. Indeed, technology has significantly influenced modern vocabulary, introducing new words and changing the meanings or usage of existing ones. This article delves into the fascinating realm of how the rapid advancement of technology has impacted our lexicon.
The Birth of Tech Jargon
The rise of technology has spawned an entirely new category of words: tech jargon. These words, often used by professionals within the technology industry, have gradually seeped into everyday language, reflecting the ubiquity of technology in our lives. Terms like "cloud computing," "Big Data," and "Internet of Things" were birthed by the need for concise descriptions of complex technological concepts and systems. As these systems became more prevalent, so did their corresponding terms, expanding our vocabulary in the process.
The Evolution of Existing Words
Not only has technology introduced new words, but it has also significantly evolved the meanings and usage of existing ones. A prime example of this is the word "mouse." Originally a term used to describe a small rodent, the advent of the computer era added a new definition— a handheld device used to control the cursor on a computer screen. Similarly, the word "web" has evolved from describing a spider's creation to symbolizing the interconnected network of information that is the internet.
The Creation of Acronyms and Abbreviations
With the rapid pace of communication in the digital age, technology has also influenced the creation of numerous acronyms and abbreviations. Text messages and social media posts often have character limits, which has led to the proliferation of shortened phrases like "BRB" (be right back), "LOL" (laugh out loud), and "OMG" (oh my god). These abbreviations have become so ingrained in our language that they've even made their way into the Oxford English Dictionary.
The Influence of Social Media
Social media platforms have had a substantial impact on our vocabulary. They've introduced terms like "selfie," "meme," and "hashtag" into everyday parlance. Moreover, the nature of these platforms has also influenced how we use these words. A "tweet" is no longer just the sound a bird makes, but also a concise message posted on Twitter. "To google" has become an accepted verb for conducting an online search, exemplifying how technology brands can influence language usage.
The Impact on Linguistic Diversity
While the proliferation of tech terms and evolving word meanings can enrich our language, it can also pose challenges to linguistic diversity. English, being the dominant language of the internet and technology, often influences other languages through the introduction of Anglicisms - English words that are incorporated into other languages. For instance, many French speakers use the English term "email" instead of the French equivalent "courriel." This prevalent use of English can lead to a loss of linguistic diversity, as local languages adapt to the technological era.
The influence of technology on modern vocabulary is undeniable. It has not only expanded our lexicon with new words but also redefined the meanings of existing ones, created a plethora of acronyms and abbreviations, and significantly impacted social media language. While this evolution of language is a testament to our adaptability and creativity, it's also essential to acknowledge and address the potential threats to linguistic diversity. As we continue to navigate this technological era, we must strive to balance the enriching influence of technology on language with the preservation of linguistic diversity.

Beautiful, funny & tasty things
·Nicolas Geusens
■ Pizza
The man on the right was Raffaele Esposito. He revolutionized a dish considered "poor" in Europe and transformed it into a globally famous dish. He was the inventor of the Margherita pizza. Today, you can find Margherita pizza in almost every pizza shop or pizza brand around the world.
Before this, pizza was a popular dish only in the poor neighborhoods of Naples, Italy, and it was made without cheese, with just tomato sauce, garlic, and oregano, known as Marinara pizza. But in 1889, during the visit of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy to Naples, Chef Raffaele Esposito surprised the queen by preparing a pizza in the colors of the Italian flag.
He used red tomato sauce, white mozzarella, and green basil to create the flag on the pizza. Thus, in 1889, thanks to pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito, we were introduced to the Margherita-flavored pizza in Naples.
This teaches us that creativity and innovation can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary. By thinking outside the box and adding a personal touch, even a humble dish can become a global sensation. This reminds us to embrace our creativity, strive for excellence, and recognize that even small changes can have a big impact.

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans today reminded residents of the upcoming 2025 Budget Town Hall meetings, taking place next week. Residents are also encouraged to visit the City Budget Website to submit questions and comments ahead of the meetings.
These meetings will offer residents an opportunity to engage directly with City leadership on the proposed fiscal plans for the upcoming year. Two sessions are scheduled to include an in-person meeting and a virtual session to ensure broad accessibility and participation.
The in-person meeting will be held on Monday, July 22 at the University of New Orleans (UNO) University Center in the Senator Ted Hickey Ballroom (room 203), located at 2000 Alumni Dr. Free parking is available on-site.
The City will host a Resource Fair featuring service departments and local agencies from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. to engage residents and assist with any questions or concerns. The Town Hall will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and will feature a presentation on the City’s 2024 accomplishments and challenges as well as a question-and-answer session to solicit input from attendees on how to allocate funding for the 2025 fiscal year.
A virtual session led by City leadership will be held on Wednesday, July 24 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. A Zoom link is located on the City Budget Website. City department heads will participate in both meetings, which will be moderated by Kelder Summers-Jones.
The City’s 2025 budget priorities include investing in initiatives that view public safety through the lens of community health and wellness, allocating funds to repair, enhance and modernize critical infrastructure and funding programs and services aimed at improving the quality of life for all residents. Additionally, the 2025 budget will prioritize strategies that foster long-term economic growth and prosperity for future generations, as well as policies to ensure transparency, accountability and inclusivity in City government.

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 15
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.

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.

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.

New Orleans: The New Orleans Jazz Museum is more than a building; it is a living embodiment of New Orleans Jazz culture and music in New Orleans. This is due to the vision of one person: Greg Lambousy, Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
Through Greg Lambousy and his staff’s efforts, the New Orleans Jazz Museum has become the epicenter of the New Orleans Jazz scene. From festivals like the Danny Barker Banjo and Guitar Festival, Satchmo Summerfest, Jazz on the Balcony, Weekly free Jazz performances, and the most significant exhibits relative to New Orleans and early Jazz history presented in the correct cultural context, the City of New Orleans.
To paraphrase the great Professor Longhair, “When you come to New Orleans, be sure to go see the New Orleans Jazz Museum.”.
Presentation, 7:30 PM, August 23 at the George and Joyce Wein Jazz & Heritage Center, 1225 N. Rampart St, NOLA. Free Admission RSVP preferred to: festguide@gmail
Greg Lambousy is the Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Before accepting this position, Lambousy was Director of Curatorial Services for the National World War II Museum. He began his career at the New Orleans Museum of Art and later moved to the Louisiana State Museum (LSM). During his twenty-year tenure at the LSM, Lambousy managed the institution’s collections of more than 500,000 artifacts and other historical items, directed improvements to collections storage at the New Orleans Mint, developed conservation and digitization projects across collections and within the Louisiana Historical Center archives, conducted oral histories and guided the selection and accession of materials related to the State’s history. Since 2016, as Executive Director of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, Lambousy has led the expansion of the Museum in programming, education, exhibitions, international relations, and the development of the Gallatin Street Records label.
