The Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City was originally a working monastery and boarding school. Built in 1925, the property sits on 180 acres and was once home to more than 90 monks and 250 students. As the school closed, the monks looked to repurpose the gorgeous property. A trip to perform an exorcism at a winery in Palisade, Colorado opened their eyes to the potential of a winery at Holy Cross Abbey, and the rest is history. Now the winery offers tastings, local events and sells their wine at more than 200 locations along the Front Range.

Patricia Oddo est sophrologue, elle vit près de Chartres. En 2021, la publication de son autobiographie, Survivre au pire, a été relayée par de nombreux médias nationaux. Aujourd'hui pour Zeteo, elle témoigne à nouveau du drame effroyable qui a détruit sa famille et qui aurait dû l'anéantir. Patricia Oddo témoigne d'un instinct de vie miraculeux qui l'a sauvée du néant. Elle raconte son cheminement, parsemé d'épreuves et de joies, où l'ombre écrasante a été de plus en plus remplacée par la lumière. Nous sommes inégaux dans nos épreuves et nos souffrances. Le drame de Patricia, dans son ampleur, reste exceptionnellement rare. Son cheminement vers sa rédemption est tout aussi unique. Ce que nous apprend Patricia, c'est que nous sommes tous appelés au pardon, à la joie et à l'amour, là où nous sommes tous égaux dans le plan divin. À quelques jours de l'entrée en Semaine sainte, Patricia nous révèle comment ce plan divin a bouleversé sa vie. Pour lire Survivre au pire, le livre de Patricia Oddo, cliquer ici.

The tennis season has begun down under, and The Inside-In Podcast returns to discuss all the dramatic hard court action. Tennis Now writer Chris Oddo returns to the podcast to discuss Coco Gauff & Taylor Fritz's heroic efforts leading Team USA to the United Cup title, and explains how each American can make noise in Melbourne. Oddo also breaks down Aryna Sabalenka's title in Brisbane, Gael Monfils remaining an ageless wonder, and the new pairing between Novak Djokovic and coach Andy Murray. And looking ahead to the Australian Open, Oddo discusses whether anyone can challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in their respective quests for another major trophy. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Ospite speciale e straordinario ella puntata n.12 della nuova stagione è Massimo Oddo, terzino destro campione del mondo con gli Azzurri nel 2006 e colonna difensiva di molte squadre in Serie A tra cui Lazio e Milan.

En “Gestión del Patrimonio” en Cierre de Mercados hablamos con Leonardo López Vega, responsable para Iberia y Latam de Oddo BHF AM, sobre el desempeño de 2024. “Ha sido un buen año para los mercados con buenas rentabilidades”, nos dice. “Nos vamos de vacaciones con la satisfacción del deber cumplido”, añade Leonardo López Vega que recuerda cuál es la filosofía de inversión de Oddo. “Somos un grupo financiero de origen familiar; Oddo es el apellido de la familia que ostenta el 65% del capital del grupo con algo más de 140.000 millones de euros de activos bajo gestión. En resumen, somos una empresa familiar con una filosofía de inversión que apuesta por la calidad y por el largo plazo”. Le preguntamos por las perspectivas para los activos de riesgo que parecen atractivas aunque podríamos tener cierta volatilidad. Los riesgos continúan, ya que los mercados han descontado un ciclo de recortes de tipos interrumpido por el repunte de la inflación. Ha llegado el momento de que los inversores se replanteen la composición de las carteras y, por este motivo, charlamos con Oddo BHF AM. “Somos especialistas en Europa y el mercado nos conoce más en la parte de pequeñas y medianas compañías europeas; en la parte de producto multiactivo o producto mixto y en la parte de alta rentabilidad o high yield”. Leonardo López Vega insiste en que 2024 ha sido un año de renta fija y mirando al año que viene, cree que va a seguir siendo un año de renta fija introduciendo el producto mixto en un escenario desinflacionista y en el que los bancos centrales recortan tipos y se ha evitado un “soft landing”. ODDO BHF Asset Management: expertos en inversión en Europa ODDO BHF AM ofrece soluciones de inversión en renta variable, renta fija, asignación de activos, private equity y deuda privada a clientes institucionales y socios de distribución. La cercanía a los inversores y el profundo conocimiento de sus necesidades son nuestra prioridad número uno. Para ello, ODDO BHF AM cuenta con una fuerte presencia local en las principales ciudades europeas, así como un conocimiento en profundidad de los mercados en los que invierte la sociedad gestora. El estilo de inversión de ODDO BHF AM se caracteriza por una gestión activa a largo plazo, con el objetivo de crear valor sostenible a lo largo del tiempo para los clientes. Para ello, ODDO BHF AM lleva más de diez años integrando criterios ESG (medioambientales, sociales y de gobernanza) en sus procesos de inversión. De este modo, los clientes tienen acceso a un amplio abanico de soluciones financieras sostenibles en todas las clases de activos. El enfoque sostenible de ODDO BHF AM se basa en tres pilares: exclusiones, integración ESG y propiedad activa. Por lo que respecta a las exclusiones, hemos definido una base común de exclusiones que se aplica a todos los fondos de capital variable, centradas en siete aspectos, como la biodiversidad o el petróleo y gas no convencionales. Además de la base común de exclusiones, pueden aplicarse exclusiones sectoriales específicas adicionales. La integración ESG depende del universo de inversión. Para las empresas europeas, hemos desarrollado un modelo de calificación interna que incluye 34 criterios ESG, con especial hincapié en el capital humano y el gobierno corporativo. Para las empresas globales, nos basamos en el análisis y las calificaciones de nuestro proveedor de datos MSCI. El último pilar, propiedad activa, se refiere a la implicación con las empresas. Mantenemos contacto periódico con ellas para influir positivamente en su comportamiento corporativo y lograr rentabilidades sostenibles a largo plazo para nuestros clientes.

On today's show, Calvin and Alex sit down with the co-authors of a hot-off-the-presses article in Discourse & Society about journalistic reporting on US drone strikes in the Middle East: Dr. John Oddo (Carnegie Mellon University), Dr. Cameron Mozafari (Cornell University), and Alex Kirsch (MA Professional Writing graduate, CMU). In their article, entitled “Sustaining or overcoming distance in representations of US drone strikes,” they examine deictic language - words and phrases that “point” to contextual elements construed as “close” or “far away.” Specifically, they analyze how this type of language is used to make US audiences feel sympathetic or apathetic toward the US drone war and the suffering it caused to ordinary civilians in the 2000s and 2010s.In our conversation, we talk with the authors about how deictic language can position a reader audience as “near” or far” from descriptions of suffering in terms of space, time, veracity, sense perception, emotion, and perspective. They take us through the major findings in their article's comparison between how the Associated Press and The American Prospect used this language - to different extremes - in order to render people suffering from US military violence as immediate, worthy of attention and sympathy, or distant, opaque, and foreign. We also discuss the implications for how this language is used in reporting on other policy issues both foreign and domestic, and the affordances of this model for helping us understand how language in news reporting creates mental images.John, Cameron, and Alex's co-authored article:Oddo, J., Mozafari, C., & Kirsch, A.

On today's show, Alex and Calvin continue to break down the concept of “Manipulation” in rhetoric and political discourse, recapping part one of this series, demonstrating strategies for identifying and critiquing manipulation, and discussing how this kind of large-scale “mind control” is affecting contemporary foreign policy discourse in the US.The term manipulation, as we define it, comes from a school of linguistic and discourse analysis known as Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), which is primarily concerned with the ways language is used to reinforce inequality and power differentials in society. We walk through how the term is defined by CDS scholar Teun van Dijk, from his landmark 2006 article “Discourse and Manipulation.” In it, van Dijk gives us a toolkit for understanding 3 different levels of manipulation: (1) social, which designates the human relationships, power positions, and organizational and political resources required to effect manipulation at scale; (2) cognitive, which designates how manipulative language forms mental models that influence people's thoughts and actions in the world; and (3) discursive, which captures the various linguistic, stylistic, and rhetorical strategies that tend to recur in manipulation.This time, to put this term in context, we analyze an example of discourse manipulation surrounding US foreign policy, specifically as it relates to Israel's ongoing war on Gaza: President Joe Biden's November 18 opinion article in the Washington Post, entitled “The U.S. won't back down from the challenge of Putin and Hamas.” We closely analyze how President Biden uses manipulation strategies straight out of Van Dijk to persuade WaPo-reading liberals to ignore both the US's constant and substantial material support for Israel's war and its own military's history of bloody and destructive imperialism throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and elsewhere in the world. We also note various tactics that the president deploys to naturalize inequality and normalize bigotry, all while touting the US's role as the “essential” peace-loving, freedom-spreading nation. “The U.S. won't back down from the challenge of Putin and Hamas” - Joe BidenLink to Part One of this SeriesWorks and Concepts Cited in this Episode:Azoulay, A., & Ophir, A.

The 2023 season is in the rearview, and Tennis Now journalist Chris Oddo returns to the podcast to recap the final drama in the sport's calendar. Oddo discusses how Jannik Sinner was able to lead Italy to a triumphant Davis Cup Title, knocking off Novak Djokovic & Serbia in the semifinals to do it. The writer & podcaster explains why Sinner has the chance to be the very best in the sport, how Novak Djokovic's 2023 season compares to some of his other historic years, and why it's not crazy to expect even more from the Serbian in 2024. And Oddo also analyzes the Next Gen Finals taking place in Saudi Arabia, a region which could see more high level pro tennis in the near future. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

On today's show, Alex and Calvin break down the concept of “Manipulation” in rhetoric and political discourse. We outline some key strategies for identifying and critiquing manipulation, and discuss its social and political implications as a form of large-scale “mind control.”The term manipulation, as we define it, comes from a school of linguistic and discourse analysis known as Critical Discourse Studies (CDS), which is primarily concerned with the ways language is used to reinforce inequality and power differentials in society. We walk through how the term is defined by CDS scholar Teun van Dijk, from his landmark 2006 article “Discourse and Manipulation.” In it, van Dijk gives us a toolkit for understanding 3 different levels of manipulation: (1) social, which designates the human relationships, power positions, and organizational and political resources required to effect manipulation at scale; (2) cognitive, which designates how manipulative language forms mental models that influence people's thoughts and actions in the world; and (3) discursive, which captures the various linguistic, stylistic, and rhetorical strategies that tend to recur in manipulation.To put this term in context, we analyze an example of discourse manipulation surrounding student protests against the most recent flare-up in Israel's war on Gaza: Carnegie Mellon University President Farnam Jahanian's email to university students and faculty in response to a recent student vigil where the phrase “from the river to the sea” was chanted. We closely analyze the careful manipulations of emphasis and value that Jahanian creates in his discourse, which subtly demonizes student demonstrators advocating for peace and the cessation of violence between Israel and Hamas, while reaffirming the supposedly apolitical “commitments” of the institution he represents.Full Text Version of Farnam Jahanian EmailWorks and Concepts Cited in this Episode:Fairclough, N.

The Pentagon has denied his claims. Retired Maj. David Grusch’s highly anticipated testimony before a House Oversight subcommittee was Congress’ latest foray into the world of UAPs — or “unidentified aerial phenomena,” which is the official term the U.S. government uses instead of UFOs. While the study of mysterious aircraft or objects often evokes talk of aliens and “little green men,” Democrats and Republicans in recent years have pushed for more research as a national security matter due to concerns that sightings observed by pilots may be tied to U.S. adversaries. Grusch said he was asked in 2019 by the head of a government task force on UAPs to identify all highly classified programs relating to the task force’s mission. At the time, Grusch was detailed to the National Reconnaissance Office, the agency that operates U.S. spy satellites. “I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access,” he said. Asked whether the U.S. government had information about extraterrestrial life, Grusch said the U.S. likely has been aware of “non-human” activity since the 1930s. The Pentagon has denied Grusch’s claims of a coverup. In a statement, Defense Department spokeswoman Sue Gough said investigators have not discovered “any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.” The statement did not address UFOs that are not suspected of being extraterrestrial objects. Grusch says he became a government whistleblower after his discovery and has faced retaliation for coming forward. He declined to be more specific about the retaliatory tactics, citing an ongoing investigation. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/07/26/swiss-study-heart-injuries-from-covid-vaccine-3000x-higher-than-thought-n567151 Swiss study: heart injuries from COVID vaccine 3000x higher than thought It is a small study, but a very disturbing one. In fact, in a study with only 777 participants with a median age of 37--all medical professionals getting the COVID vaccine–the incidence of elevated cardiac enzymes 3 days after injection was pretty substantial, at almost 3%. The CDC did a study and from that, they claimed the rate was 0.001%, or one out of 100,000. 2.8% is a lot higher than 0.001%. Another 0.3% had “probable myocarditis,” putting the total at over 3%. That is 3000 times higher than the US government claimed. In this small study, nobody had serious complications, but with a myocarditis complication rate of 3%, you would have to expect that giving out hundreds of millions of doses is a pretty risky proposition. I think we all knew that already, but this study seems to put the nail in the coffin of “vaccine injuries are super rare” from COVID-19 shots. One oddity was that the rate of myocarditis among the participants was heavily weighted toward women, not men. That could be an artifact of the sample, or it could indicate that women are more likely to get a complication, but the complications are more likely to be serious among men. One reason the researchers posit for the vast difference between their results–which are based upon blood tests looking for cardiac enzymes in all participants–and the commonly asserted claim that vaccine-induced myocarditis is rare is that the only cases that are diagnosed without looking specifically for it are severe. In other words, most people don’t go to the doctor until there is a serious problem, so many people suffer from myocarditis without ever getting diagnosed. This suggests that there is a very large group of people who were afflicted but never treated. This in most cases would not be a huge problem, as the inflammation resolves on its own, but in some cases, actual damage to the heart was done without it ever being caught. In any case, this study sheds quite a light on just how deceptive the CDC, the FDA, and NIAID have been about vaccine safety. And also how intentionally ignorant they have chosen to be. This was not a complicated study to do. The researchers chose a cohort easy to recruit, tested them both before and after vaccination to create a baseline and comparison, and analyzed the data. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-plea-deal-appears-fall-apart-first-court-appearance Hunter Biden pleads 'not guilty' as plea deal falls apart during Delaware court appearance Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning and pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed the president's son is still under federal investigation. The president's son was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, as part of plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge. But Judge Maryellen Noreika did not accept the plea agreement, questioning the constitutionality--specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would receive. Hunter Biden was also expected to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate felony charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith filed an amicus brief to the court, requesting that testimony be considered ahead of accepting the planned plea deal, saying Hunter Biden "appears to have benefited from political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office." "In the interest of full transparency and fairness for all citizens, it is critical for the Court to have this relevant information when evaluating the Plea Agreement," Smith wrote in the brief. Meanwhile, on the eve of the court appearance, the judge threatened to sanction Hunter Biden's legal team after one of his attorneys allegedly lied about who she was while asking to remove IRS whistleblower testimony from the court docket. The defense, though, denied the allegations and called the incident "an unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/new-york-city-crane-falls-engulfed-flames New York City crane collapse: Construction equipment tumbles to ground as it is engulfed in flames A crane fell near the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan on Wednesday after a fire broke out on the construction equipment, but officials say it could have been much worse. The crane was engulfed in flames before part of it fell to the ground, hitting a nearby building in the process. The New York City Fire Department said that six people, including two firefighters, have injuries. The injuries to the two firefighters are "non-life threatening," while the four civilian injuries are "minor," according to the department. "As you see from the debris on the street, this could have been much worse. We are extremely fortunate, No. 1, that [it was] not during the busy time of the day — as you know, the Port Authority is here. Many of the buses move through here. We were extremely fortunate," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference. The first report of the fire to FDNY came at 7:25 a.m. local time, with officials saying the fire started in the engine compartment of the crane. The top part of the crane and a 16-ton load collapsed as firefighters were arriving at the scene. One of the injuries was described as "chest pains" for one of the firefighters. At a news conference Wednesday morning, fire officials said the fire had been mostly extinguished but that operations are still ongoing. Fifty units, totaling 220 fire personnel, responded to the scene of the fire, according to FDNY. New York City Department of Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo said the building where the crane fire occurred was an under-construction 54-story mixed-use building, which had all proper permits filed. Oddo said the only previous incident at the site was when construction workers hit a vault during excavation for the building. City officials also said the crane operator had attempted to put out the fire when he noticed it, but when he was unable to do so safely, he evacuated from the crane and is OK. https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/07/25/accept-deadly-blackouts-to-fight-climate-change-says-paper/ Accept Deadly Blackouts to Fight ‘Climate Change’, Says Paper The Los Angeles Times says that blackouts have to increase in order to combat climate change, while stunningly acknowledging the policy may cost people’s lives. The newspaper has asked its dwindling audience to consider “a larger conversation” in which people become more accustomed to changing their expectations, including the idea of living without electricity for large parts of their lives so as to prevent “climate catastrophe.” The piece also insists that “fossil-funded lies,” apparently spread by Republicans – such as the overall uselessness of solar farms and wind turbines – should not be considered within the discussion on how to address climate change. Instead, the conversation must be orientated towards adding “solar panels, wind turbines and all kinds of energy storage to the grid as fast as possible.” The newspaper also recognizes the risk of such a policy as it reports that someone dies every time there is a blackout, and includes a quote from the director of reliability assessment and performance analysis at the North American Electric Reliability Corp, John Moura, that “it’s not really about keeping the lights on. It’s about keeping people alive.” Accepting increased blackouts is yet another extreme measure being suggested to tackle climate change. One recent study suggested changing working hours from 9 am to 5 am to 6 am to 2 pm. Speaking of climate change… https://www.theblaze.com/news/npr-ridiculed-for-regurgitating-claim-that-the-movement-to-push-bug-food-on-the-masses-is-a-racist-conspiracy-theory NPR ridiculed for regurgitating claim that the movement to push bug food on the masses is a 'racist' conspiracy theory NPR's race-obsessed and taxpayer-subsidized show "Code Switch" recently peddled the notion that it is conspiratorial thinking to take proponents of the bug-food movement at their word. What's more, host Gene Demby's guest on the July 19 episode, entitled "This right wing conspiracy theory about eating bugs is about as racist as you think," has intimated that criticism both of bug food and of those technocrats who seek to alter consumer behavior may be racist. NPR has since been met with ridicule by those aware that the desire to supplement or replace normal food with bugs is not a conspiracy theory but rather a real initiative with substantial momentum, which has been long detailed and defended in academic journals, trusted publications, and even on NPR. NPR reporter Huo Jingnan joined "Code Switch" host Gene Demby on last week's episode to regurgitate talking points from his April NPR article, wherein he simultaneously held that the claim that "elites want people to eat bugs" was a right-wing conspiracy theory while also acknowledging the inclusion of bugs in human food was "an emerging, but still marginal, idea among climate scientists and food security experts." Jingnan hinted both in his article and on Demby's show there must also be a racial component to the growing concerns about the bug-food movement and the motivations driving it. While Demby appeared keen to write off the bug-food movement as "not that big a deal," and Jingnan intimated that it might just the MAGA crowd who are paying attention, critics have pointed that NPR's publication history suggests otherwise. Here are the titles of just a few NPR features in recent months and years: "These Pictures Might Tempt You To Eat Bugs" — July 18, 2013; "Making Food From Flies (It's Not That Icky)" — Sept. 19, 2013; "Even Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is Now Munching On Bugs" — March 23, 2015; "Street Food No More: Bug Snacks Move To Store Shelves In Thailand" — April 15, 2015; "Are Insects The Future Of Food?" — Nov. 17, 2016; "At Bug-Eating Festival, Kids Crunch Down On The Food Of The Future" — Sept. 14, 2017; "Your Ancestors Probably Ate Insects. So What's Bugging You?" — July 16, 2018; "VIDEO: 4 Ways That Wild Edibles, Including Insects, Will Wow You" — Dec. 20, 2018; and "Should Hyping Edible Bugs Focus On The Experience Instead Of The Environment?" — Jan. 10, 2019. The food of the future indeed…

The researchers chose a cohort easy to recruit, tested them both before and after vaccination to create a baseline and comparison, and analyzed the data. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-biden-plea-deal-appears-fall-apart-first-court-appearance Hunter Biden pleads 'not guilty' as plea deal falls apart during Delaware court appearance Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning and pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed the president's son is still under federal investigation. The president's son was expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax, as part of plea deal to avoid jail time on a felony gun charge. But Judge Maryellen Noreika did not accept the plea agreement, questioning the constitutionality--specifically the diversion clause and the immunity Hunter Biden would receive. Hunter Biden was also expected to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate felony charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance. House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith filed an amicus brief to the court, requesting that testimony be considered ahead of accepting the planned plea deal, saying Hunter Biden "appears to have benefited from political interference which calls into question the propriety of the investigation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office." "In the interest of full transparency and fairness for all citizens, it is critical for the Court to have this relevant information when evaluating the Plea Agreement," Smith wrote in the brief. Meanwhile, on the eve of the court appearance, the judge threatened to sanction Hunter Biden's legal team after one of his attorneys allegedly lied about who she was while asking to remove IRS whistleblower testimony from the court docket. The defense, though, denied the allegations and called the incident "an unfortunate and unintentional miscommunication." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/new-york-city-crane-falls-engulfed-flames New York City crane collapse: Construction equipment tumbles to ground as it is engulfed in flames A crane fell near the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan on Wednesday after a fire broke out on the construction equipment, but officials say it could have been much worse. The crane was engulfed in flames before part of it fell to the ground, hitting a nearby building in the process. The New York City Fire Department said that six people, including two firefighters, have injuries. The injuries to the two firefighters are "non-life threatening," while the four civilian injuries are "minor," according to the department. "As you see from the debris on the street, this could have been much worse. We are extremely fortunate, No. 1, that [it was] not during the busy time of the day — as you know, the Port Authority is here. Many of the buses move through here. We were extremely fortunate," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference. The first report of the fire to FDNY came at 7:25 a.m. local time, with officials saying the fire started in the engine compartment of the crane. The top part of the crane and a 16-ton load collapsed as firefighters were arriving at the scene. One of the injuries was described as "chest pains" for one of the firefighters. At a news conference Wednesday morning, fire officials said the fire had been mostly extinguished but that operations are still ongoing. Fifty units, totaling 220 fire personnel, responded to the scene of the fire, according to FDNY. New York City Department of Buildings Commissioner Jimmy Oddo said the building where the crane fire occurred was an under-construction 54-story mixed-use building, which had all proper permits filed. Oddo said the only previous incident at the site was when construction workers hit a vault during excavation for the building. City officials also said the crane operator had attempted to put out the fire when he noticed it, but when he was unable to do so safely, he evacuated from the crane and is OK. https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/07/25/accept-deadly-blackouts-to-fight-climate-change-says-paper/ Accept Deadly Blackouts to Fight ‘Climate Change’, Says Paper The Los Angeles Times says that blackouts have to increase in order to combat climate change, while stunningly acknowledging the policy may cost people’s lives. The newspaper has asked its dwindling audience to consider “a larger conversation” in which people become more accustomed to changing their expectations, including the idea of living without electricity for large parts of their lives so as to prevent “climate catastrophe.” The piece also insists that “fossil-funded lies,” apparently spread by Republicans – such as the overall uselessness of solar farms and wind turbines – should not be considered within the discussion on how to address climate change. Instead, the conversation must be orientated towards adding “solar panels, wind turbines and all kinds of energy storage to the grid as fast as possible.” The newspaper also recognizes the risk of such a policy as it reports that someone dies every time there is a blackout, and includes a quote from the director of reliability assessment and performance analysis at the North American Electric Reliability Corp, John Moura, that “it’s not really about keeping the lights on. It’s about keeping people alive.” Accepting increased blackouts is yet another extreme measure being suggested to tackle climate change. One recent study suggested changing working hours from 9 am to 5 am to 6 am to 2 pm. Speaking of climate change… https://www.theblaze.com/news/npr-ridiculed-for-regurgitating-claim-that-the-movement-to-push-bug-food-on-the-masses-is-a-racist-conspiracy-theory NPR ridiculed for regurgitating claim that the movement to push bug food on the masses is a 'racist' conspiracy theory NPR's race-obsessed and taxpayer-subsidized show "Code Switch" recently peddled the notion that it is conspiratorial thinking to take proponents of the bug-food movement at their word. What's more, host Gene Demby's guest on the July 19 episode, entitled "This right wing conspiracy theory about eating bugs is about as racist as you think," has intimated that criticism both of bug food and of those technocrats who seek to alter consumer behavior may be racist. NPR has since been met with ridicule by those aware that the desire to supplement or replace normal food with bugs is not a conspiracy theory but rather a real initiative with substantial momentum, which has been long detailed and defended in academic journals, trusted publications, and even on NPR. NPR reporter Huo Jingnan joined "Code Switch" host Gene Demby on last week's episode to regurgitate talking points from his April NPR article, wherein he simultaneously held that the claim that "elites want people to eat bugs" was a right-wing conspiracy theory while also acknowledging the inclusion of bugs in human food was "an emerging, but still marginal, idea among climate scientists and food security experts." Jingnan hinted both in his article and on Demby's show there must also be a racial component to the growing concerns about the bug-food movement and the motivations driving it. While Demby appeared keen to write off the bug-food movement as "not that big a deal," and Jingnan intimated that it might just the MAGA crowd who are paying attention, critics have pointed that NPR's publication history suggests otherwise. Here are the titles of just a few NPR features in recent months and years: "These Pictures Might Tempt You To Eat Bugs" — July 18, 2013; "Making Food From Flies (It's Not That Icky)" — Sept. 19, 2013; "Even Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is Now Munching On Bugs" — March 23, 2015; "Street Food No More: Bug Snacks Move To Store Shelves In Thailand" — April 15, 2015; "Are Insects The Future Of Food?" — Nov. 17, 2016; "At Bug-Eating Festival, Kids Crunch Down On The Food Of The Future" — Sept. 14, 2017; "Your Ancestors Probably Ate Insects. So What's Bugging You?" — July 16, 2018; "VIDEO: 4 Ways That Wild Edibles, Including Insects, Will Wow You" — Dec. 20, 2018; and "Should Hyping Edible Bugs Focus On The Experience Instead Of The Environment?" — Jan. 10, 2019. The food of the future indeed…
