Joe "Peppy" Sciarra was drafted into the U.S. Army the day after he graduated from high school. All four boys in his family served during World War II. After basic training, Sciarra was assigned to the Army's 25th Infantry Division, known as "Tropic Lightning." He was then ordered to be part of a heavy weapons platoon operating 81 millimeter mortars. The weapon would be critical to the U.S. driving the Japanese off of 47 separate ridges on the island of Luzon in the Philippines over five months in 1945.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Sciarra explains how the 81 millimeter guns were operated and why he sees them as the decisive weapon at Luzon. He also tells us about a suprisingly easy landing at Luzon, but there would nothing easy after that. He details the Japanese weapons that took a significant toll on American forces, what it was like fighting uphill all the time, how the Japanese ambushed our soldiers, and how he ended up with with a promotion he didn't want.Sciarra also takes us into the personal side of war, losing friends, and honoring the remains of the fallen. He also tells us about his harrowing journey to Japan for occupational duty and the serious illness he faced at the end of the war. But more than anything, Sciarra wants all Americans to appreciate the courage and sacrifice of the U.S. Army infantry in World War II and beyond.

From Natural to Even More Natural with Sensapure Flavors at IFT First 2025 Tyrus brings his characteristic energy and industry expertise to discuss everything from the natural vs. artificial flavor debate to international taste preferences, sweetener technologies, and the rise of the "clean label" movement. The conversation reveals how Sensapure Flavors differentiates itself through superior customer service, owned manufacturing capabilities, and deep understanding of the sports nutrition market. From his early days at another flavor house to his current role helping brands create flavor systems that drive consumer loyalty, Tyrus shares insights into why flavor isn't just about taste -- it's about building successful brands. In the Supplement Industry and Don't Know Tyrus?! You Should! The discussion also explores current industry controversies, including the Food Babe-driven movement away from natural flavors toward whole food extracts, the ongoing sucralose versus natural sweetener debate, and how American flavor profiles are conquering international markets.

La situación de fragilidad que se da en muchos residenciales para adultos mayores volvió al tapete este año a raíz de incidentes que provocaron la muerte de personas que vivían allí. En los primeros días de julio hubo tres incendios, con víctimas fatales, uno en Cerro Largo, otro en Salinas, Canelones, y el tercero en Treinta y Tres. Este último dejó un saldo de 10 adultos mayores muertos, la peor tragedia en estos centros en la historia de Uruguay. Por esas fechas, además, fue econtrada sin vida una anciana que vivía en un residencial clandestino de ese departamento. A raíz de estos casos, algunas gremiales privadas, que reúnen a dueños de residenciales, insistieron en su reclamo para que se mejoren los controles sobre estos establecimientos y que además, se acelere el trámite para obtener la habilitación y se baje los costos que ese certificado implica. El tema, además, se discutió en el Parlamento con los dos ministerios que tienen responsabilidad en esta materia: el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social y el Ministerio de Salud Pública. ¿Qué medidas se tomaron en estas semanas? ¿Cómo viene trabajando el Estado para mejorar las condiciones de los residenciales? Conversamos En Perspectiva sobre este y otro temas con el ministro de Desarrollo Social, Alejandro Sciarra.

Las políticas sociales del Mides han dado pie a varias discusiones políticas en este período. ¿Pero cuánto han cambiado con respecto a administraciones anteriores? ¿Son eficientes? ¿Dónde están los énfasis de este gobierno? Uno de los programas que marcó algunas diferencias con respecto a la anterior administración fue Accesos, la principal herramienta de inserción laboral del Mides, que suplantó al programa Uruguay Trabaja. Por ejemplo, se eliminó el sorteo para participar y se quitó la intermediación de ONGs en la ejecución del programa. Según las últimas cifras del Ministerio de Desarrollo Social, cerca de un 20% de los participantes se insertó en el mercado laboral luego de participar de Accesos lo que implica un aumento con respecto a la última edición de Uruguay Trabaja. Accesos se complementa con otros programas y énfasis de esta administración, como el trabajo en cárceles o con personas privadas de libertad. Pero también el gobierno anuncia que en febrero inaugurará en el corazón de la zona de Casavalle el primer Centro de Referencia de Políticas Sociales en la capital, impulsado por el Mides. Se trata de un ex predio militar donde habrá decenas de oficinas y servicios públicos en un mismo lugar. Pasamos en limpio cómo vienen funcionando todas estas líneas de trabajo, en entrevista En Perspectiva con Alejandro Sciarra, director nacional de Gestión Territorial del Mides.

Une médaille d'argent olympique à Sydney. Un joueur formidable. Des tirades historiques. Laurent Sciarra n'a jamais laissé indifférent. Il est l'invité cette semaine du podcast Basket Time en compagnie de Pierre Dorian, Frédéric Weis, Stephen Brun et Arnaud Valadon. L'ancien meneur de jeu revient sur l'épopée formidable des JO 2000 et se projette sur les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024. À ne pas louper !

11/6/23: Sen Jo Comerford on the candidates she's voting for & free menstruation products.; N'hmptn Mayor G.L. Sciarra on the police chief & Main Street; const. law prof Bruce Miller on keeping Trump off the ballot & guns at SCOTUS; Megan Zinn with local YA author Crystal Maldonado on “The Fall of Whit Rivera.”

Joe “Peppy” Sciarra was 16 years old when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. He was drafted into the Army the day after he graduated high school. He had planned on enlisting anyway. Sciarra was assigned to an 81 mm mortar squad of the 25th infantry division under General MacArthur. After 9 months training in New Caledonia and a stop for supplies on Guadalcanal, he and 68,000 men landed at Luzon in the Philippines. He would spend the next five and half months involved in terrible jungle fighting, capturing 47 different ridges from 100,000 Japanese. “My mortar tube was 45 pounds and my pack was 50 pounds, plus my weapon.   That made for some difficult climbing.” Despite the fact that he had many comrades killed to the left and right of him, Sciarra says his only injury was nearly knocking out his front teeth when the hit the ground a little too hard during shelling. After being ordered to venture ahead of the company in order to draw enemy fire, Sciarra vented his anger at the Lieutenant after the patrol. “I didn't care if he court martialed me, I had to tell him off”.  Sciarra and that Lt. would become close friends. Following the Japanese surrender he was assigned as part of the mainland occupation forces. He says it was surprising how courteously the Japanese people treated him. Sciarra suffered from the effects of malaria for a long time after returning home and faced numerous challenges securing his Veteran benefits because many of the records had been destroyed. He finally had to personally travel to Hawaii in order to secure proof of his service. TAKEAWAY: “I want these messages about what our guys went through to be known all across the country. Even though it has been 80 years I still think about all the men in my platoon who didn't make it.”
