RESPECT FOR PARENTS DAY

On August 1, Respect for Parents Day recognizes the leadership roles parents play in not only a child's life, but also in our communities. Join National Day Calendar as we celebrate parents and parental role models around the globe.

Parents provide their children with the first expression of love and sense of security. As protectors and nurturers, parents set a foundation for leading and teaching children to be responsible. Each parent provides a form of communication and a way of making decisions and correcting mistakes.

A parent's role in the community is essential, too. In an effort to "make our families become united and strong by recognizing the leadership roles parents have, and to reinstate the respect for parents that was evident in the past," Respect for Parents Day was born. These are the words of Marilyn Dalrymple from Lancaster, CA, as she created the day, which is observed on August 1st.

This day was created as a reminder that parents deserve and require respect and for all to consider the value that parents have in society. This isn't limited to children only. Those who hold power over families must likewise respect the parent.

HOW TO OBSERVE RESPECT FOR PARENTS DAY

How do you show respect for your parents? If it isn't something you think about much, consider these approaches on August 1:

Call your parents and ask them about their day.
Schedule time each week to spend time with your parents doing something they enjoy.
Tell your parents how much you appreciate everything they've done.
Ask their opinion. Even if you don't take their advice, at least consider their perspective.
Help them with chores around the house, especially the heavy-duty ones, if your parents are older.
Listen to their wants and needs. When you do, you'll learn something you may not have known before.
Surprise them with a token of your love and respect. If you've been listening to them, you might even surprise them with something they've wanted for a while.
While you may disagree with them, consider their perspective. Their environment, when they were young, the experiences they have lived through (both good and bad) shape our parents and influence their choices.
Give your parents some credit for your successes. Showing them gratitude for the love, support, and lessons they've instilled in you will allow them to show pride in their children.
Cook for them. It's their turn to take a break and enjoy a relaxing conversation while someone else cooks for them.

Post on social media using #RespectForParentsDay and encourage others to join in.

NATIONAL IPA DAY

National IPA Day on the first Thursday in August celebrates the beer known as India Pale Ale Beer. Raise your glass on National IPA Day and enjoy this day with family and friends, while supporting your local craft brewers.

The IPA seems to have developed out of an idea from the 1700s when shipping ale to India, adding hops to the beer increased the longevity of the brew. Brewers thought that hops preserved the beer for long voyages to hot climates. One London brewer gained attention for his ability to brew this particular style of beer. George Hodgson shipped many casks of pale ales to India from London. However, no one knows for sure when or who coined the name India Pale Ale.

Brewers ferment barley to make India Pale Ales. Depending on the length of fermentation, the tannins may cause some bitterness in the beer, even after adding the hops. While IPAs have a reputation of being bitter and hoppy, not all are. They also tend to be crisper than other beers.

While the IPA is one of the most popular types of craft beers, it's also making a resurgence with local microbreweries. Many are experiencing success as their brew finds its way into local restaurants and pubs.

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 in 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
Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun
Be sure to drink plenty of water, and do not wait until you’re thirsty
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
Check on neighbors, children, the elderly and chronically ill to make sure they are okay, especially every hour if power outages occur.

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.

For more information about heat-related illnesses, tips on staying cool and to receive up-to-date alerts, please visit ready.nola.gov.

What a Wonderful Exhibit: Louis Armstrong’s Life in New Orleans

In this striking new exhibit, the New Orleans Jazz Museum offers a love letter to Louis Armstrong – just in time for Satchmo SummerFest.

– by Doug Brantley

For generations, Louis Armstrong has been synonymous with the Crescent City. From the international airport bearing his name to the Tremé park featuring his towering bronze likeness to the French Quarter’s New Orleans Jazz Museum, where each August the annual Satchmo SummerFest celebrates his birth, life and musical legacy, “little Louie” still looms large—both here and abroad—some 50-plus years after his death.

“Louis Armstrong is a pivotal figure in the history of modern music,” notes Jazz Museum director Greg Lambousy. “New Orleans is the Vienna of the 21st century in large measure because of his influence worldwide, embodying the music and culture of an endlessly interesting city.”

A special envoy for the U.S. State Department during the 1950s and ’60s, “Ambassador Satchmo” traveled the globe, winning over kings and commoners alike with his signature smile, trademark trumpet and waving white handkerchief, spreading the joy of New Orleans-born jazz and breaking through racial barriers of the day along the way.

Opening Aug. 1, the Jazz Museum’s new “Satchmo: Louis Armstrong’s Life in New Orleans” exhibit traces the beloved musician’s journey, from his ragtag beginnings “back o’ town” to his rise as a global culture icon, through a variety of artifacts and ephemera, including excerpts from his many manuscripts and massive collection of private audio recordings.

Born into poverty on Aug. 4, 1901, to help make ends meet, Armstrong spent his formative years selling newspapers, collecting salvage and delivering buckets of coal to Black Storyville prostitutes for the Karnofskys, a kind-hearted Jewish family with a shop on South Rampart.

Noting his musical leanings, the Karnofskys, who embraced young Louis as one of their own, taught him “to sing from the heart” and helped purchase his first horn, a cornet – which you’ll find on display in the exhibition.

Armstrong’s first horn belongs to the permanent collection on the New Orleans Jazz Museum and will be on display with the exhibit.

Armstrong’s big break came following his arrest at age 11 for firing a gun in the air outside of the Little Gem Saloon on New Year’s Eve, which landed him in the Colored Waifs’ Home for Boys. There, he fell under the tutelage of music director Peter Davis, who taught him both discipline and how to properly play the cornet, a talent later honed through the mentorship of Joe “King” Oliver who was heralded in the museum’s recent exhibit, “New Orleans Stomp.”

He was soon busking on street corners he’d formerly hawked papers from and performing with early brass bands in the city’s dance halls and honky-tonks. He would go on to replace Oliver, who moved to Chicago in 1918, in the Kid Ory Band. Armstrong followed a few years later to join Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, broadening not only his musical influences but his worldview as well.

Chicago led to New York and the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, which led to recordings with fellow New Orleanian Sidney Bechet and blues greats Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey, among others, including his own Hot Five band, which led to national tours, catapulting him to fame. Armstrong would not return to New Orleans until 1931.

But New Orleans’ now-favorite son wasn’t so warmly embraced back then. Greeted with great fanfare and jubilant crowds upon his arrival that June, Armstrong called it “the happiest day in my life.” His tune changed, however, a few days later.

Booked for a summerlong run at Suburban Gardens, a white’s-only club in Metairie, he packed the house with more than 5,000 opening-night attendees and an additional 10,000 Black fans listening from along the levee behind, with even more tuning into the show’s broadcast.

But despite his immense popularity, the evening’s announcer refused to introduce Armstrong because of the color of his skin. Undeterred, he took the stage and introduced himself, later claiming to have been the first Black man to speak live on New Orleans radio.

He revisited the city again for performances in 1938 and 1940, and famously in 1949 for Mardi Gras as king of the Zulu parade, which Armstrong recounts in a letter included in the exhibit. In between he toured Europe, played the Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall, appeared in numerous films, made his television debut, was featured on the cover of Time and purchased a house in Queens, N.Y., where he resided for the remainder of his life.

Though he held his hometown near and dear (often signing letters “Red Beans and Ricely Yours”), by the mid-1950s Armstrong swore off performing here altogether due to Jim Crow laws and restrictions, which prohibited his long-integrated band from playing together. “I’m accepted all over the world,” he told the Times-Picayune in 1959, “and when New Orleans accepts me, I will go home.”

That did not happen until 1965—following the passage of the Civil Rights Act, his Grammy win for “Hello Dolly” and the razing of Armstrong’s childhood home to make way for a new police complex—with a sole performance at Loyola University’s Field House. He would return only twice more before his death in 1971.

Armstrong with Don Marquis at the Blue Note in Chicago, 1951. Marquis was a noted jazz author and founder of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

“Armstrong knew what it meant to miss New Orleans,” wrote frequent Satchmo Fest speaker Ricky Riccardi, director of research collections at the Queens-based Louis Armstrong House Museum, in a recent essay. “To love New Orleans, to celebrate New Orleans, to be hurt by New Orleans and to hate New Orleans—but through it all, he knew that in many ways, he was New Orleans, with all of its complexities.”

Armstrong’s relationship with the city was a fraught and fractured one, not unlike that of New Orleans musicians and expats who fled for higher ground and greener pastures following that other August anniversary in 2005. The place that bore and raised him, his lover and muse, had also scorned and betrayed him.

During Katrina, a large section of roofing from the Old U.S. Mint, in which the Jazz Museum is housed, was torn away and mangled by the destructive winds that forever changed New Orleans. It took some time to patch up and repair, but by the following year, modern-day jazz greats were back on the Mint’s grounds performing Armstrong classics, as they will again Aug. 3-4 during this year’s SummerFest.

Meanwhile, indoors on the Legacy Stage, Riccardi and other Satchmo scholars will sing his praises just steps away from the new exhibit, chronicling his lasting impact on the city and the world.

More than a century after he first departed, “Little Louie” has come home. It’s so nice to have you back where you belong.

Note: The New Orleans Jazz Museum collaborates with the Louis Armstrong Music Academy to teach students about the music and its important history that is indigenous to New Orleans, as well as traditional and contemporary jazz and blues. The joint program instills in students awareness of the role that jazz has played historically and socially. Working with leading New Orleans music educators, the Teaching Artists provide arts integration on Jazz and New Orleans Brass Band music, strengthening existing school music programs with individual and ensemble-based instruction.

NATIONAL RASPBERRY CREAM PIE DAY

National Raspberry Cream Pie Day on August 1 takes advantage of ripe raspberries available this time of year. If you're fortunate enough to enjoy some fresh-baked raspberry cream pie, it's a day to celebrate!

Raspberries are the edible fruit of the raspberry plant. Not only do they grow on woody stemmed perennials, but they're a very commercial crop, too. The raspberry bush is part of the rose family, which is why their stems are prickly like rose bushes.

Approximately 100 tiny drupelets cling together to make up one raspberry. Raspberry pulp and juice fill the drupelets. The drupelets adhere to a receptacle attached to a stem. Once the receptacle is removed, the raspberry is left with a hollow core.

When you're eating your raspberry pie today, keep in mind raspberries are rich in vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. They also contain vitamins B1, B3, folic acid, magnesium, copper, and iron.

4 Raspberry Facts

All temperate regions of the world grow raspberries.
Raspberries were once a midsummer crop. However, with new technology, cultivars, and transportation, they can now be obtained year-round.
An individual raspberry weighs 0.11 – 0.18 oz.
One raspberry bush can yield several hundred berries a year.

Top 6 English Dialects That Sound Like Different Languages

Introduction

The English language is an amalgamation of different languages, cultures, and traditions, resulting in diverse dialects that sound completely varied. While all are English, some are so unique that they sound like entirely different languages. This variance in dialects is a testament to the linguistic diversity that exists within the English-speaking world. In this blog post, we will take a look at six such English dialects that could easily be mistaken for different languages.

Scottish English

Infamous for its thick accent and unique vocabulary, Scottish English can be quite a challenge to understand, even for native English speakers. Derived from the Old English spoken by the Anglo-Saxons, Scottish English has evolved over the centuries to incorporate elements of Gaelic and Norse languages. Words like "wee" for small and "aye" for yes, and the distinct pronunciation of "r" contribute to the unique sound of this dialect.

Newfoundland English

Newfoundland English, spoken on Canada's easternmost province, is another dialect that sounds like a different language. This dialect is a fascinating blend of English, Irish, and French influences, reflecting the area's rich cultural history. The distinctive vocabulary, pronunciation, and syntax of Newfoundland English can bewilder even the most experienced linguists. Expressions like "What are you at?" for "What are you doing?" and "Stay where you're to till I comes where you're at" for "Stay there until I come to you" are common in this dialect.

Jamaican Patois

Although English is the official language of Jamaica, the majority of Jamaicans speak an English-based creole known as Patois or Patwa. This dialect is a colorful mix of English, West African languages, and other European languages. It has a unique rhythmic quality that makes it sound more like a foreign language than a dialect of English. Phrases like "Mi deh yah" for "I am here" and "Wah gwaan?" for "What's happening?" are part of everyday conversation in Jamaican Patois.

Geordie

Geordie, spoken in North East England, particularly around Newcastle, is a dialect that can leave outsiders baffled. This dialect has roots in Old English and Old Norse and boasts a vocabulary and pronunciation that are incredibly unique. For instance, "gan" means go, "bairn" means child, and "howay" is a term of encouragement or exclamation. Moreover, the Geordie accent is known for its strong 'r' sounds and distinctive intonation.

Hiberno-English

Hiberno-English, or Irish English, is a dialect spoken in Ireland. With its roots in Old and Middle English, it has been influenced heavily by the Irish language, both in vocabulary and syntax. "Craic" for fun or news, "grand" for fine or okay, and "quare" for very are common expressions in this dialect. The Irish accent also adds to the unique tonal quality of Hiberno-English, making it sound more like a different language than a dialect of English.

Appalachian English

Last but not least, we have Appalachian English, spoken in the Appalachian mountain region in the Eastern United States. This dialect is a remnant of the Scottish, Irish, and English settlers who made the region their home in the 18th century. The distinct grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation of Appalachian English can be quite baffling for outsiders. Words like "a-feared" for afraid, "poke" for bag, and "yonder" for over there are part of the everyday language here.

These are just six of the many English dialects that sound like entirely different languages. These dialects remind us of the rich linguistic tapestry that makes up the English language. They are a testament to the myriad of cultures, histories, and traditions that have shaped and continue to shape the English language. Whether it's the rhythmic tones of Jamaican Patois or the unique vocabulary of Geordie, each dialect offers a fascinating glimpse into the diversity of the English-speaking world.

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

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)

(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.

The Saints also add another nationally televised game to their 2024 slate, with the Aug. 18 showdown against the 49ers being beamed to a national audience.
