JUNETEENTH
Each year on June 19, we celebrate Juneteenth to commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The celebration takes place each year on June 19th, recognizing an event that took place in Texas in 1865.
The story of Juneteenth begins in Texas when Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston on June 19, 1865, with an announcement. As the community listened to the reading of General Orders, Number 3, the people of Galveston learned for the first time that the Civil War was over. After more than a century of slavery and years of war, it was official. All slaves were now freedmen.
"…the 19th of June wasn’t the exact day the Negro was freed. But that’s the day they told them that they was free… And my daddy told me that they whooped and hollered and bored holes in trees with augers and stopped it up with [gun] powder and light and that would be their blast for the celebration." - Haye Turner, former slave.News traveled slowly, even stubbornly during and after the War between the States. Over two years earlier, President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Only two months before Major General Granger arrived in Galveston, General Lee surrendered at Appomattox. And the country was already mourning the assassination of President Lincoln. Just weeks before Granger arrived, the official final surrender took place. And yet, this community in the west remained the last to know of their freedom. They required word, official word, to feel the effects of what was already happening in the rest of the country.

Tropical Storm Alberto has officially formed in the Gulf, making the system the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
Tropical Storm Alberto has officially formed in the Gulf, making the system the first named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season.
Alberto strengthened into a tropical storm Wednesday in the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center in Miami reported. It is currently located 295 miles southeast of Brownsville, Texas, and could produce winds up to 40 mph.
The system, described as large and disorganized, has been churning in the Bay of Campeche for days and got more organized and stronger by Wednesday morning.
Northeast Mexico and south Texas should brace for landfall impacts this week, including 5 to 10 inches of heavy rain, storm surge and flooding
The disturbances in the Gulf do not currently pose a threat to Louisiana.
National Hurricane Center forecasters have been monitoring two tropical disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico, both of which do not currently pose a threat to Louisiana.
NHC forecasters have been tracking a new disturbance in the southwestern Gulf since Tuesday morning. The system could gradually develop early next week as it moves west-northwestward or northwestward. The chance of it forming into a tropical storm within the next two days is near 0 percent. The formation chance within the next week is 30 percent, a 10 percent increase since Tuesday.
The second system comes while NHC forecasters have been tracking Potential Tropical Cyclone One in the Gulf since last Wednesday. The potential cyclone was located in the southwestern Gulf Tuesday, but it has moved to the western area of the waters. The chance of the disturbance forming into a tropical storm within the next two days or within the next week is high, meaning 80 percent.
There is another disturbance in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean that NHC forecasters have been tracking since last Tuesday. The system, currently located several hundred miles east of the Bahamas, is expected to gradually develop during the next few days as it moves westward or west-northwestward. NHC forecasters predict that it will approach the coast of the southeastern U.S. later this week.
It is not uncommon to see developments in the Atlantic or the Gulf this early in the hurricane season, especially if the 2024 Atlantic season could be above-normal, as predicted by researchers and experts.
"If we have an above-normal seasons, it's not odd to have a few more systems develop this early in the season," NHC forecaster Mike Efferson told The Times-Picayune Tuesday.

Ace Hotel, Josephine Estelle, Bar Marilou and more CBD venues get new names in Hyatt rebrand
By JUSTIN MITCHELL and STEPHANIE RIEGEL
The Ace Hotel officially rebranded to The Barnett by Hyatt in June 2024.
By JUSTIN MITCHELL
The Ace Hotel, which only a few years ago was among the trendiest spots in New Orleans, has officially been rebranded as a Hyatt property and the hotel, restaurant and coffee shop in the Central Business District now have new names.
The Carondelet Street hotel reopened Tuesday as The Barnett by Hyatt. Josephine Estelle, the popular Italian restaurant inside the hotel, and Lovage coffee house have also shuttered and have new names: Trattoria Barnett and the Cafe at the Barnett, respectively.
The interior of the hotel hasn't yet changed much. Guests are still greeted by valet drivers and lush greenery as they walk into the Art Deco building. Still present are the cool color scheme, leather couches and eccentric art on the walls. Hotel staff were waiting for the new Barnett sign to arrive Wednesday morning.
What has been removed is all of the Ace swag. Corporate representatives were in New Orleans over the weekend removing Ace-branded materials from the property. Ace T-shirts, keychains, lighters and toiletry bags once in display in the entrance near the check-in desk have been replaced by vases and other decorative trinkets.
Josephine Estelle, Lovage get new names
The menu board on the exterior of the building that once housed Josephine Estelle's offerings was empty Wednesday. Inside, the new name of the restaurant, and its hours, was marked at the entrance.
The iconic, mid-century modern interior of the restaurant, with large beams, green velvet seating and a large bar, appeared unchanged.
A menu is not yet posted to the Barnett by Hyatt's website, but the restaurant is described as an "award-winning osteria" that "celebrates the fusion of classic Italian recipes with the vibrant flavors of the American South, offering full-service dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
Lovage, the coffee shop, was popular among hotel guests, tourists and residents alike and gave locals a discount on food and drinks.
The coffee house was also known as an inclusive space for people of color and LGBTQ+ people. On Wednesday, the Pride flag and Black Lives Matter signs remained even as the Lovage sign was taken off the building. Anything with the Lovage brand on it, including insulated cups and pens, were also gone.
The food offerings appeared the same for the Cafe at the Barnett — a variety of pastries, overnight oats and sandwiches were available. Stumptown Coffee was still being poured.
Other amenities inside the new Barnett hotel have also been renamed. The bar at the pool is now called Rooftop at the Barnett. The event space on the first floor in between guest services and the cafe is now called Barnett Music Hall and can be rented as an event space.
Sister hotel, Bar Marilou gets rebrand, too
Just across the street from the former Ace is its sister property with a new name. Maison de la Luz is now called Maison Métier.
Bar Marilou, a trendy speakeasy-style cocktail bar at the property, is also shuttered and now called Bar Métier.
"Sample expertly crafted cocktails and gourmet small plates as you take in live music and shows," the website says of the bar space. The link to more details about the menu and space was broken on Wednesday.
The Ace rebrand
Last month, sources close to the Ace Hotel said that the hotel, which opened in 2016, would become a boutique property under the Hyatt brand.
The Ace opened at a time when the CBD and Warehouse District was booming with development and quickly turned into a trendy place to be in New Orleans. Ace's rooftop pool become popular for locals on the weekends, and Josephine Estelle was regularly full.
The property is part-owned by The Domain Companies. Founder and CEO Matt Schwartz, who developed the hotels in partnership with Ace, declined to discuss the rebrand in May.
Hyatt's partnership will also grow the company's footprint in downtown New Orleans. Before acquiring the Ace, Hyatt accounted for about 3,000 of the 25,000 hotel rooms downtown, while competitors Marriott and Hilton made up 10,000 and 5,000 rooms, respectively.
Len Wormser, a hotel broker with HREC Investment Advisors, said in May that the move by Hyatt made sense as the chain develops their own boutique-style brands.
"Now, everybody, all the major chains, have their own version of an Ace," he said. "It's not as cool as it was three years ago."
Hyatt could not be immediately reached for comment.

Which Famous Actress Dated Powerful Men, Including a President
Jean Harlow
Ava Gardner
Marilyn Monroe
Elizabeth Taylor
Before Hollywood legend Monroe died of an overdose in 1962 at the age of 36, the star and her relationship with former President John F. Kennedy had been the subject of speculation following her iconic "Happy Birthday" performance for Kennedy's 45th birthday at Madison Square Garden, which took place just months before Monroe's death.
"What happened to Marilyn Monroe is one of the great mysteries of the 20th century,” her biographer James Spada told PEOPLE in 2012.
Though Spada said he doesn’t believe there’s any proof that the Kennedys were responsible for Monroe’s death, "It was pretty clear that Marilyn had had sexual relations with both Bobby and Jack," using nicknames for the president and his brother Robert.
According to Spada, actor Peter Lawford introduced Monroe to the president in 1954. But when he tired of her, he passed her off to his brother. This happened, according to Spada, in the spring of 1962.

NATIONAL GARFIELD THE CAT DAY
June 19 is National Garfield the Cat Day to honor the fictional cartoon character, Garfield. Jim Davis created the comic strip Garfield and the title's protagonist, a tabby cat by the same name. The observance celebrates Garfield and the entertainment he brings us.
Garfield launched on June 19, 1978. The strip chronicled the life of the lead character, the cat Garfield (named after Jim Davis ’s grandfather). It also introduced Garfield’s owner, Jon Arbuckle and Jon’s dog, Odie. The publication became syndicated in 2013 in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals and holds the Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip.
Garfield was one of the cartoon characters to appear in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue.
Set in Muncie, Indiana, common themes in the comic strip include Garfield’s laziness, obsessive eating, love for lasagna and coffee, and hatred of Mondays and diets. While the focus is mostly upon the interaction between Garfield, Jon, and Odie, the strip introduces other characters as well.

Punctuation Power: Mastering the Art of Using Commas, Dashes, and More
Punctuation, the art of clarifying and enhancing writing, is often overlooked in its power to transform a simple sentence into a compelling piece of communication. Understanding how to effectively use commas, dashes, and other punctuation marks can make a significant difference in your writing, whether it be for professional, academic, or personal purposes. In this article, we'll dive into the nuances of these punctuation marks, offering insights and examples to help you master their usage.
The Comma (,)
The comma, perhaps the most common punctuation mark, is used to separate parts of a sentence, ensuring clarity and readability. Its main uses include:
- Separating items in a list:
- Example: "We need eggs, milk, bread, and cheese."
- After introductory words or phrases:
- Example: "Unfortunately, we can't attend the meeting."
- To separate independent clauses when they are joined by conjunctions like and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet:
- Example: "She is talented, but she is very modest."
The Misuse of Commas: The Comma Splice
A common error in using commas is the comma splice, where two independent clauses are incorrectly joined with a comma without a conjunction.
- Incorrect: "It's raining, I forgot my umbrella."
- Correct: "It's raining, and I forgot my umbrella."
The Dash (—)
Dashes are versatile and can add emphasis or introduce additional information in a sentence. They are longer than hyphens and serve different purposes.
- Em Dash (—):
- Used to create a strong break in the structure of a sentence.
- Example: "She was going to confront him—until she changed her mind."
- En Dash (–):
- Often used to indicate ranges, such as dates or numbers.
- Example: "The meeting is scheduled for 10:00 am–11:00 am."
Dashes vs Hyphens
It's crucial to distinguish dashes from hyphens, which are shorter and used to connect words (e.g., well-known, mother-in-law).
Other Punctuation Marks
The Semicolon (;)
The semicolon is used to link independent clauses that are closely related but could stand as sentences on their own.
- Example: "She loves reading; her brother prefers movies."
The Colon (:)
Colons introduce a list, an explanation, or a quotation. They can also follow a statement that introduces a conclusion.
- Example: "He had only one hobby: collecting stamps."
Quotation Marks (" ")
Used to indicate speech or quotations, and titles of short works like articles or poems.
- Example: "She said, 'I'll be there soon.'"
The Question Mark (?) and Exclamation Point (!)
Used at the end of sentences to indicate a question or an exclamation, respectively.
- Question: "Are you coming to the party?"
- Exclamation: "That was amazing!"
Conclusion
Mastering punctuation is not just about following rules; it's about understanding the rhythm and flow of language. Each punctuation mark can change the tone and pace of a sentence, adding clarity, emphasis, or emotion. By practicing and paying attention to how punctuation affects your writing, you can develop a stronger, more effective writing style that accurately conveys your message and engages your readers.
Remember, punctuation is the key to clear communication in writing. As you continue to write and edit your work, keep these guidelines in mind, and you'll find yourself becoming more confident and skilled in the art of punctuation!

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- June 21 — 9:08 p.m. — Strawberry Moon
- 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.

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.

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, June 24
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.

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.
