Buttermilk Junction

1 day

Today in History, On todays date 125 years ago, Friday, October 22, 1897, famous Italian-American chef Ettore Boiardi (1897 to 1985), better known by the Anglicized version of his name, Hector Boyardee, who was famous for his namesake brand of food products, Chef Boyardee, was born at the city of Piacenza, Italy.

Boiardi was working as an apprentice chef by the age of 11. He later learned more restaurant skills as an immigrant to Paris and London. On May 9, 1914, at the age of 16, he arrived at Ellis Island aboard La Lorraine, a ship of French registration.

Boiardi followed his brother Paolo to the kitchen of the Plaza Hotel in New York City, working his way up to head chef. He supervised the preparation of the homecoming meal served by Woodrow Wilson at the White House for 2,000 returning World War I soldiers. In 1926, he opened his first restaurant, Il Giardino dItalia, The Garden of Italy, in Cleveland, Ohio.

By the late 1920s, the Boiardi brothers had expanded into production of Italian foods that were distributed to grocery stores nation wide. For producing rations supplying Allied troops during World War II, Boiardi was awarded a Gold Star order of excellence from the United States War Department.

----------

Chef Boyardee is the best canned goods to send to the refugees and to the homeless, along with Campbell Soup, and canned sardines. And it is also good food to send to the grocery stores for the poor people in Kentucky.

Salute,

Tony V.

The students have declined in achievement big time with remote learning...

https://www.usnews.com/news/education-news/articles/2022-10-24/pandemic-prompts-historic-decline-in-student-achievement-on-nations-report-card

The students need to be in school in person, with real teachers, and there is also the social aspects, the kids make friends at school. And beyond that, I also support after school activities and sports for the kids.

While remote learning may be cheap and easy, it is not the best way to go for the children, the children need to be in real schools with real teachers.

Salute,

Remote learning is not easy or cheap but it was necessary at the time.

Kids are like Petri dishes and while their youth and immune systems may offer more protection what about those who live in multigenerational housing?

This is not year over year. We won't have a real sense of the cost until 2 and 3 years from now.

The results on that test have been declining for years. And another report just out gives a far more mixed result.

True. You are right. It was a crisis, and a lot of people died. We had to do remote learning at the time. But, as we advance and leave the crisis behind in history, we need to get our children back into real schools with real teachers. Our children are falling way behind, and they have mental health issues, and there is the issue of socializing and having friends, etc. And as we leave the crisis behind we need to expand after school activities for the children, etc, including sports, drama classes, and music lessons.

We had to do what we had to do during the crisis, but we need to move ahead as quickly as possible to get the kids back in school and we need to expand after school programs, etc. We have a lot of kids who are still not going back to school and they are missing out, we need to encourage the children to go to real schools.

Some people are also doing remote learning because of the school shootings, and they do not feel like the schools are safe, we need to expand armed security at the schools and make the schools safe so that the parents feel comfortable sending their children to real schools.

Salute,

Gonna buy an electric car?
Watcha gonna do when you're parked on the 4th floor of the hospital carpark and you are bamboozled by the tight twists and turns in it and you hit the corner and punch two holes in the tyre sidewall?
There's no spare tyre in most of them.
Roadside assistance?
Can't get a tow truck up 4 floors.

Many newer car have TPMS, and don't supply spares.  The system gives you time to get a repair before it's undrivable and if it doesn't then makers like Tesla provide a 24 hour roadside service with the warranty.  And those vehicles can ascend a parking garage just fine.  Stop getting your news from Rupert Murdoch's used toilet paper.

And in the US, all the major EV makers offer a spare tire option, which is used by many people living in remote geography.

Yeah, who needs new technology that's being refined and improved over time?  We should have stuck with telegrams, buggies and rug beaters.  Hope your PMS is better this morning.

News Item



The New York State Supreme Court reinstated all employees who were fired for not being vaccinated on Monday, ordering backpay and saying their rights had been violated.

The court found that being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19. New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed earlier this year that his administration would not rehire employees who had been fired over their vaccination status.

NYC alone fired roughly 1,400 employees for being unvaccinated earlier this year after the city adopted a vaccine mandate under former Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Many of those fired were police officers and firefighters.
