Nel saggio Fumo e cenere lo scrittore indiano Amitav Ghosh ricostruisce una storia di potere, razzismo e colonialismo attraverso l'oppio. Nel 1980 Vincenzo Sparagna e altri autori di fumetti fondarono la rivista Frigidaire, che presto diventò uno spazio di sperimentazione e libertà. L'artista afroamericano Lonnie Holley è un alieno nel mondo della musica e il suo nuovo album Tonki sfugge a ogni catalogazione. Il documentario GEN_ racconta i percorsi di affermazione di genere di chi si rivolge alle strutture pubbliche per superare le proprie sofferenze e trasformare la propria vita.CONMarina Forti, giornalista e scrittrice che collabora con InternazionaleNicolò Porcelluzzi, giornalista della rivista Il TascabileGiovanni Ansaldo, editor di musica di InternazionaleDonatella Della Ratta, professoressa di comunicazione alla John Cabot university di RomaSe ascolti questo podcast e ti piace, abbonati a Internazionale.

Rocco is a DTC mini-fridge company that wants to make people care about the big hunks of steel electronics they have in their homes. "Appliance brands don't actually have a brand," said Alyse Borkan, co-founder of Rocco. "I really saw an opportunity to do things differently than [what] the rest of the category was doing." Borkan joined this week's Modern Retail Podcast and spoke about her new brand and how she's hoping to compete with the big players like Frigidaire. Rocco launched last November with one product: a colorful fridge meant to showcase beverages. It works for both wine bottles and cans, and Borkan said the intention is to have an appliance that could complement a home's aesthetic. "People really kind of think about it as a little bar in their living room," she said. It's still early days, but the product does seem to be resonating. Rocco sold out of inventory two weeks after launching. Ever since, the company has been playing catch up with fulfilling orders, but plans to be fully stocked and ready for more expansion in the next few months. But Rocco isn't only direct-to-consumer. The brand launched in Nordstrom shortly after going live. "We really think this is something that people are going to want to experience in real life before they purchase," Borkan said. Rather than being one of hundreds in an appliance store, Rocco opted to be the only fridge in Nordstrom's furniture section. The plan now is to continue growing -- ideally adding more wholesale partners over the next year. That could mean launching in an appliance store, but it could also mean partnerships with other brands -- especially drinks brands. "We're hoping to grow pretty quickly just based on the initial interest," she said. Get more from Modern Retail with the daily newsletter, sent out each weekday morning.

Just a couple years after Thomas Midgley, Jr. invented leaded gas in the 20s, he followed up that achievement by inventing chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, which were sold by Du Pont under the brand name of Freon. The crown jewel of his work was the creation of Dichlorodifluoromethane, or CFC-12. This substance allowed for more people to experience the wonders of electric food refrigeration as well as indoor air conditioning. For over 40 years everyone assumed the Freon was perfectly safe, and in fact safer than other chemicals used in refrigeration. It wasn't until the 1970s, years after Midgley had died, that the horrible truth was discovered: CFCs were eating away at the Earth's ozone layer. The ozone layer is a region in the stratosphere that absorbs 97 to 99 percent of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light, which otherwise would potentially damage life. The deterioration of this protective layer threatened all life on earth with increased risk of cancer and other ecological problems. People realized the extent of the damage in 1985 when it was discovered that there was a massive hole in the Ozone layer above the Antarctic. This emergency situation led in 1987 to the creation of an international treaty called The Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer. Because of this agreement, which was signed by all of the members of the United Nations and has an extremely high compliance rate, climate projections indicate that the ozone layer will return to 1980 levels between 2040 and 2066. One possible apocalypse averted because of global cooperation. This is the story of one guy who just wanted to make money for himself and the companies he worked for (specifically Frigidaire, General Motors, and DuPont), and how his second big invention eventually forced the entire world to pull off a massive effort to avoid global ecological disaster.

On October 31st, 1994, police officers in the Apple Valley area near San Bernardino, California, received a call from two individuals who were out searching for rocks. They had found what appered to be a human skull which was part of a skeleton buried in a clandestine grave site with it's body wrapped in a plastic bag. It was that of a mixed-race female, 5'1" to 5'5" and anywhere from 25-55 years old. The body had been there for 18 months.Two years later, on July 8th, 1996, two ranch hands were hunting for coyotes in the remote farmlands of Rio Visto, California, when they also found a human skeleton. This was another unidentified female 5'7" in her mid-30s and had been dead for six months. And, finally, on March 29th, 1995, in Holt, California, some hippies scavenging for cans would find the skeleton of a 24-45-year-old woman, 5'8" and wearing very expensive clothes in a gold-tone Frigidaire refrigerator. She was referred to as "The Lady in the Fridge." While the first two women would come to be identified and their killers brought to justice years later, the identify of "The Lady in the Fridge" remains to be discovered and is still a mystery today.Show Notes: https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/20-years-later-refrigerator-ladys-murder-still-baffles-san-joaquin-county-investigators/#:~:text=SAN%20JOAQUIN%20COUNTY%20(CBS13)%20%E2%80%94,and%20dusty%20with%20no%20crop.https://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/who-killed-jane-doe/episodes-season-2/1000110579/

Mauro Baldrati"Madame"Bompiani Editorehttps://www.bompiani.it/Parigi, fine Ottocento. Veronique Fourier, anziana vedova di un generale di Napoleone, trascorre le giornate nell'oscurità del suo palazzo, aspettando gli inviti nei salotti parigini che sono stati e sono tuttora gran parte della sua vita. Durante un pranzo conosce un giovane, elegante e molto complimentoso, che la vuole intervistare, in cerca di informazioni per il suo saggio su Baudelaire, che lei ha conosciuto. La baronessa accetta, e fra i due si avvia un legame fatto di schermaglie e rivelazioni, affondi e memorie rivissute: prezioso per entrambi, perché allo scrittore in fieri dischiude la possibilità di avventurarsi in un mondo che non ha conosciuto di prima mano, e alla vecchia dama consente di ripercorrere le tappe di una vita tumultuosa, scandite dalla presenza di due uomini molto diversi – il poeta decadente, pronto a trascinarla con sé nell'abisso della sua disperazione, e il solido, affettuoso generale che l'ha salvata da sé stessa dandole una vita di agi. Il giovane intervistatore, che fa bottino di ciò che ascolta, si chiama Marcel Proust. Il dialogo tra due persone tanto diverse illumina il bozzetto di un'epoca e di uno stile di vita evocati con minuziosa levità.Mauro Baldrati è nato a Lugo di Romagna e vive a Bologna. È stato redattore di Frigidaire e fotografo.

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Kim Radaker Bays: You are never going to be able to make any deal work in underwriting if you assume the worst of the worst or the worst of the worst of the worst. So you're not going to hit your goals and your targets and your, you know, expected returns, if everything goes wrong, but you need to know that you're at least going to be able to float by if everything goes wrong. [00:00:17] Kim Radaker Bays: And what happens if half of the things go right and half of the things go wrong kind of a thing. So, you know, it's hard to underwrite it completely with everything going wrong, 'cause there, it just won't be competitive. [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Kim Radaker Bays has completed 20 transactions with over a 2x equity multiple in the last three years. She currently leads 10 properties, totaling over 3,200 units across DFW and Houston. Kim, welcome to the show.  [00:00:52] Kim Radaker Bays: Thanks so much for having me on. [00:00:53] Sam Wilson: Pleasure's mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes in the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:01:01] Kim Radaker Bays: Started with a finance degree, spent some time in the retirement plan industry working in 401ks and define benefit plans then got into some single family. And then for the past, almost 11 years now have been in multifamily. So started with the 77-unit property. And over time now between things we bought and sold about 9,500 units.  [00:01:18] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's a lot. That's a lot. 77 units now to 9,500 units in 11 years, you've seen a lot of things change. I mean, we've gone from everything was basically on sale and you could buy anything you want to now you can't hardly buy anything at all without a dog fight getting, you know, to get the deal done. Tell me about that. Tell me that story and how you guys are positioning yourself now.  [00:01:38] Kim Radaker Bays: Well, gosh, it sure was easy when everything was like $30,000 a door. Right. You know, now, now even the horrible, horrible stuff is a hundred thousand dollars a door. So it's a very different, very different marketplace. [00:01:50] Kim Radaker Bays: I suppose when I first started out, I was able to get one of, kind of the first loans that came back after the 2008, 2009 stuff. So it was in 2011. It was just when lenders were starting to actually lend on distressed properties kind of before that for a while, there was kind of no option to get loans on value add. [00:02:07] Kim Radaker Bays: So we, we were wondering if we were going to have to buy the first property actually for cash. And then today, fast forward, many, many years, many, many units, the lending environment has gotten a little crazy again. You know, for a very long time, it was a very close-packed groups of lenders. You know, the spreads were the same. [00:02:25] Kim Radaker Bays: The base rate was the same, you know, whether you wanted fixed or floating, there were, there were options for both. Now, I would say the fixed rates kind of have built in all of the potential yield curve and then some. So, you know, kind of have to almost go with floating rate at this point in time, but also the floating rate, you know, it used to be that basically everything was going to be in a narrow band, it's SOFR plus whatever, and you're going to have eight or nine loan quotes that are all going to be in that same band. And right now we've got some stuff and it varies somewhat based on leverage, but also just based on investor, on lender appetite right now. Some things are SOFR plus 250. Other things are SOFR plus 450. And so it just seems to be a little more all over the board in terms of lending terms and, and what's possible.  [00:03:09] Sam Wilson: Wow. I mean, is that just because lenders don't, they don't know, they, they don't think the market's found its footing, or what is it? [00:03:17] Kim Radaker Bays: I would guess it's a lot of that. I think they just kind of don't know exactly what it's going to happen, exactly where it's going to go. You know, definitely expected SOFR to increase, but for the spreads to have gone so wild over, so, I think, was a little unexpected. It's been very interesting and sort of, there's just a whole lot of uncertainty in the market right now.  [00:03:36] Sam Wilson: What have you guys done, I guess, to make it where, I mean, 'cause you got to underwrite to a certain, you know. [00:03:41] Kim Radaker Bays: Yeah.  [00:03:41] Sam Wilson: You got to plug a number in your underwriting spreadsheet. What are you guys doing on that front to kind of even be able to synthesize decent numbers, you know, when you're, when you're doing your underwriting?  [00:03:50] Kim Radaker Bays: You know, we're really kind of stress testing the whole gamut of things. What if we can get the loan for SOFR plus 300? What if it's so plus 350? What if it's SOFR four? You know, let's look at the yield curve that's going forward. How far into that can we underwrite a hundred percent of it, you know, only 50% of it? What does that look like? Make sure that kind of you're covered on the worst-case scenario, but understand sort of what that whole spectrum looks like. So you, you kind of have to rerun the numbers over and over again. Plan with it and kind of make a note of what the results are and seeing where that goes.  [00:04:23] Sam Wilson: You said that right now you almost have to go with a floating rate. What risk do you see in that?  [00:04:32] Kim Radaker Bays: I mean, most of the time you're going to have to buy some sort of an interest rate cap anyway. And really, I think the big thing is make sure that you're underwriting it with best and worst-case scenarios in mind. So make sure that you're underwriting it and all of those things, you are never going to be able to make any deal work in underwriting if you assume the worst of the worst or the worst of the worst of the worst.  [00:04:49] Sam Wilson: Right. [00:04:50] Kim Radaker Bays: So you're not going to hit your goals and your targets and your, you know, expected returns if everything goes wrong. But you need to know that you're at least going to be able to float by if everything goes wrong. And what happens if half the things go right, and half the things go wrong, kind of a thing. So, it's hard to underwrite it completely with everything going wrong 'cause there, it just won't be competitive. [00:05:12] Kim Radaker Bays: Although the big thing I'm seeing in today's market is that there are a lot of deals falling out. There are a lot of times that we are investing final on a project and suddenly somebody comes in and offers you. 2 million more, 3 million, more, 5 million more 'cause these are some large properties and, like, can't make the numbers work at that. [00:05:30] Kim Radaker Bays: It's that's too far out there. It's too risky. But a lot of times then I'm, like, don't go award it somewhere else. And so they do, but then sometimes people are getting a little bit more real as they're actually really getting lender quotes in, really seeing what's going on. And so sometimes they're walking away from deals now. [00:05:46] Kim Radaker Bays: And then the big thing that I'm seeing is that the brokers are coming back. They've already gone through a whole marketing process. They don't want to start from square one. Again, the sellers don't really want to start from square one again. Sometimes they've got a certain number that if we don't exceed this, we're just going to hold it. Other times they are just actually sellers. [00:06:02] Kim Radaker Bays: And so they're oftentimes bringing it back to just two or three groups that have toured that at least have underwritten it that are familiar with it. But that they have experience with, that they have transactional experience with that they know will close. And so there's been a lot of times that we've had at least second looks on things and sometimes, you know, sometimes it doesn't work out anyway. Sometimes it's still too expensive. The, yeah, expectations still aren't quite right. But at least really having those relationships gives you an opportunity at that last look.  [00:06:30] Sam Wilson: And that's a softening, I think, in the marketplace that we maybe weren't seeing 12 to 18 months ago.  [00:06:36] Kim Radaker Bays: Oh, for sure. That softening wasn't even there probably three to four months ago, but definitely has hit a bit now. I think the NOI growth from rent increases from inflationary pressures, particularly in a market like we're in Texas, I think will mitigate that over a longer term. I think the true uncertainty is probably a little bit shorter term, but I think there's going to, it's going to be a bumpy ride. And I think that really making sure that you're paying attention to the details of operating your assets is going to be hugely important in the short term. [00:07:09] Sam Wilson: Tell me about that. I mean, you guys have taken a unique angle on supplies and logistics. I mean, it's something that you told me about this off air. And I want to hear more about how you guys have solved a lot of the supply chain constraints around logistics around construction. Talk to me about that side of your business and how you have, you know, solved a problem that many people haven't.  [00:07:29] Kim Radaker Bays: Sure. we started out self-managing from the very beginning and still do. And so we also have a construction team that is in-house that does all of the interior renovations. We've found some fantastic GCs to work with as far as exterior, but it is just a very labor intensive piece to do the actual interiors of the units. [00:07:45] Kim Radaker Bays: And so we brought that in-house a long time ago. I think there's some newer players to that space that are doing things pretty well if you do want to outsource it. Haven't tried them myself personally yet, but the things that I tried years and years ago just didn't work out that well. So really bringing those things in-house. [00:08:01] Kim Radaker Bays: And then, we were fortunate on the second property we were buying, we knew we were going to need 200,000 square feet of flooring. So actually had a partner that was a Chinese national, went over to China with us, found sourcing for that. Over time, really built out that entire piece of the business, bringing in a lot of the renovation materials that we were going to need. [00:08:21] Kim Radaker Bays: And so obviously when tariffs hit, we had to realign the whole thing again and find other vendors in different areas. So we've done a lot of that. Also built a lot of domestic partnerships, distributorships for Frigidaire and GE and those kind of pieces. So it's not that we weren't without refrigerators for a little. But it was a much shorter lift thing than most people were experiencing for sure. [00:08:42] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Yeah. I think that's a business all in itself. And to build those out takes a lot of team and a lot of, I guess, planning ahead of time. I was at Reeding yesterday, there was something. But it was just talking about just entrepreneurship in general. And they said the main thing that, most entrepreneurs struggle with is documenting their processes early on 'cause they can just do it themselves faster. And then, you know, all of a sudden they're at scale mode and they go, oh my gosh, no one knows how to do what I know how to do. So how have you overcome that and scaled, I mean, you guys have a massive operation. How have you done that?  [00:09:14] Kim Radaker Bays: We do have a large operation. So we use EOS, which is Entrepreneurial Operating Systems based on the book Traction or Get a Grip if you like the storytelling portion of it better. So I think that's been hugely impactful. It's a good way to get information to where it needs to go to make the best decisions to really impact the business. They're obviously huge in documenting processes. I'm very, very fortunate. I've got a couple of members of my team, particularly one that is outstanding at documenting processes. So it is just sort of, even if it's totally not, her department, has nothing to do with the things that she normally touches. I'm always like, okay, teach it to Allie, get her to write it all down. She will put it with the screenshots, with the stuff and really kind of put that together and that, and that's been huge obviously as, as you grow it is hard to pull yourself out more and more.  [00:10:00] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. I love hearing, especially when, you know, you've gotten to a point where you guys are where you have not just built a multifamily business, but you've built a construction business. You built a logistics company. You've built a lot of different operations and they're all, you know, uniquely different. So it's one thing to build one company, but when you're building four or five, then I think it's certainly an interesting story and something we can always learn something from. Tell us, what are you guys doing right now to remain competitive? I mean, there is, like you said, we're seeing a softening in the market, but it's still a competitive marketplace out there. What are you guys doing?  [00:10:32] Kim Radaker Bays: I mean, I think the big thing is really sticking to our numbers. Not every deal is going to be a good deal, particularly not in the current environment. There's a lot of things that just got prices went up so fast so quickly that kind of everybody thinks everything is worth a fortune right now. So I think really paying attention to those things, digging into what it is, obviously with having our internal supply chain, with having some of the construction pieces in-house. There's a lot of savings that we're able to get from that in terms of just the general logistics, the supplies, the other pieces of that. [00:11:05] Kim Radaker Bays: So there's a lot of cost savings that can come just from that vertical integration piece, but also it's hugely important to just really watch the numbers, make sure that you've stress-tested your stuff. It's better to walk away from a deal than to get in a bad one. You know, it is hard to be competitive, but don't, don't get so enthralled in the thrill of the chase that you go after something you shouldn't. [00:11:26] Sam Wilson: Right, right. That is a personal flaw I'm trying to overcome as a deal junkie. It's like, oh man, it's so fun. But then you're like, no, no, no, this doesn't make any sense at all. So that's absolutely awesome. Tell me this. What's a mistake, maybe that, and I'll rewind the last 11 years, I think you said you started in 2011, is that right?  [00:11:44] Kim Radaker Bays: Yeah. [00:11:44] Sam Wilson: What's a mistake you've made. That you think other people could avoid making?  [00:11:50] Kim Radaker Bays: Well, I think one of the things is especially early on because we've been very capital gain focused and very kind of net worth building, not just for ourselves, but for our investor group is very focused on the general capital gain, much more so than cash flow. [00:12:02] Kim Radaker Bays: And so, we're always trying to sort of accelerate the process of get the renovation done as quickly as you can, get the rents increased. So, you know, we had one property where I probably pushed a little too fast and a little too hard. We were getting the rents for sure when we were leasing up, but kind of dropped occupancy a little more than I expected and stayed there for a little while. [00:12:22] Kim Radaker Bays: And we were fortunate. We were still cash flowing, even at a lower occupancy rate than I would've liked. But I think especially as the market has tightened and gone up so much, the big thing that I learned is to take it a little more gradually, even if it takes three or four years, you know, or a little bit longer to get through the project instead of, you know, two years and one month. [00:12:42] Kim Radaker Bays: Taking that time, you know, like I said, back then, it wasn't so much, I mean, it was, there were a few sleepless nights over it, but it was never actually a problem. But right now with where mortgage rates are and where property taxes have gone and where insurance has gone and all of those other pieces, there just isn't as much net to fall into anymore as there used to be. [00:13:04] Kim Radaker Bays: And so I think that's one of the things is I've taken it just a little more gradually, make sure that you kind of test it, work in steps, work in phases. Oftentimes the properties that you're able to find that are a good deal are the owners that haven't paid attention to the market at all and have cared only about as long as I'm 99% occupied that's all I care about. And so oftentimes they are three or $400 below market on some properties. And so, but you have to take that kind of in steps to make sure you don't clear everybody out all at once and end up with an occupancy issue.  [00:13:33] Sam Wilson: Right, right. Yeah. 'Cause if, if everybody's there is used to 400 bucks under market rent and suddenly you raise it, it could become a real issue. So that's really, really good advice. You know, I think a lot of people, when they look at where you are in your business, they say, gosh, I could never get there, right? 'Cause they think, man, now you got it, now Kim's got this figured out. They got this massive company, you know, they're kicking butt and taking names. [00:13:55] Sam Wilson: We can't get there. But I know that every business still has its own needs and its own things that you probably see from the inside looking out where you say, man, you know, we could improve X, Y, or Z. What are those things, if you don't mind sharing?  [00:14:06] Kim Radaker Bays: Some of the things I, we have been working on some software development, that's been a more challenging piece of it because neither of us are actually coders. We've hired some talent now obviously to get that done, but have tried to work through some offshore pieces and that's been a little harder it's, you know, with everything else, we are able to be like, just, just move out of the way out, install the light, picture myself, kind of a thing, or, you know, just give me the spreadsheet. It's fine.  [00:14:28] Kim Radaker Bays: And obviously anytime that you start expanding your business into areas, that can be hugely impactful and effective, but the skill sets that you personally have and you can't say, just get out of my way, hand it over to me, I'll fix it. That's definitely a piece. So that's we've been working really hard on trying to make sure that we find some top outside talent on the pieces that we don't know as well. [00:14:49] Sam Wilson: Gotcha. What are needs when you say software development? I'm really curious 'cause I'm, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. What's a software development need that you find that's not already in the marketplace?  [00:14:59] Kim Radaker Bays: A lot of it's just automating a lot of our processes in terms of the renovation piece. Some other pieces, some of the great skills that our accounting team has. There's a lot of things that we can just automate. Hey, go check and make sure all four water bills are in. Rather than having an actual person have to go look in the GL, click, and make sure all four water bills are in that number. You know, just, a lot of smaller things to just really speed up and. The more boring aspects of some of the business that are involved in really doing it right.  [00:15:31] Sam Wilson: Right, right. And those are huge things 'cause you know, suddenly you're two months later and the water company is, you know, calling you or shutting off your water and you're like, how did we miss this? [00:15:39] Kim Radaker Bays: Or your financials just look really screwy two months later 'cause suddenly there's one meter that didn't get put in. And so now, now you've got your books closed first, prior month and why'd you have this jump in water consumption? Well, I didn't, it's just something didn't get put in before the period got closed. [00:15:53] Kim Radaker Bays: It's always  [00:15:54] Sam Wilson: something it's always something. And I think, in its own right, is comforting to know that the problems never go away. They just change.  [00:16:01] Kim Radaker Bays: They do.  [00:16:01] Sam Wilson: You know, and obviously take on a different tone as you grow. It becomes less of like, how are we going to grow, but now how are we going to manage the growth that we have, which is a, I think a more fun place to be perhaps, but the problems never do actually go away. They just, like I said, they just changed. Kim, this has been a blast. Thank you for taking the time to come on the day, share about your business. You guys are doing awesome stuff there. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:16:25] Kim Radaker Bays: Sure. So we have two sides to our business, supply and logistics side of the business is Exist Multifamily. So you can go to existmultifamily.com and see, 'cause we service not only our own properties but about 250 to 300 other properties in terms of those supplies and logistics, getting everything in a single kick box for your upgrades so that your guys are not spending the whole day running back and forth to the shop or running back and forth to Home Depot, even worse. [00:16:47] Kim Radaker Bays: And then also on the investment side, invest@exppg.com. Tell us a little bit more about our general side and even emailing invest@exppg.com, whether it's for investment purposes or other pieces. That team is fantastic at finding the right person to direct you to inside the organization.  [00:17:03] Sam Wilson: Awesome. We'll make sure we put all of that in the show notes. Kim, thank you again for coming on today. I certainly appreciate it. This was a blast. [00:17:09] Kim Radaker Bays: Thanks, Sam. Had a great time.

Il primo numero di Frigidaire esce il 28 ottobre 1980 e viene presentato nel corso del festival del fumetto di Lucca. In conferenza stampa ci sono tutti: Vincenzo Sparagna, Andrea Pazienza, Stefano Tamburini, Tanino Liberatore, Filippo Scozzari e Massimo Mattioli. Insieme a loro, tuttavia, c'è anche una vecchia amica: l'eroina. È con questo biglietto da visita che Frigidaire si presenta al mondo e alla città di Lucca. Il primo numero di Frigidaire nasce da un viaggio a New York -«alla ricerca del segno degli anni Ottanta»- e contiene gran parte degli immaginari e delle storie che continuerà a raccontare nei suoi primi anni di vita. Dalle tavole di Andrea Pazienza fino al Ranxerox di Tamburini e Liberatore, dall'interesse per le sessualità altre, fino alla cruda documentazione della marginalità e delle nuove culture metropolitane. Un racconto del mondo che anticipa il nostro presente e ha il sapore della profezia.

Da anni Vincenzo Sparagna si è ritirato in un luogo ameno alle pendici dei Monti Martani, in Umbria, dove ha fondato la Repubblica di Frigolandia. A Frigolandia sopravvive un tesoro di valore inestimabile: l'archivio di Frigidaire (una parte del quale è già stato acquistato dall'università di Yale in America).Tuttavia l'esistenza di Frigolandia e dell'archivio di Frigidaire, con le sue tonnellate di carta, sono a rischio. Il Comune di Giano Dell'Umbria, proprietario delle mura di Frigolandia, ha ordinato lo sgombero della Repubblica. Gli amici di Vincenzo Sparagna e di Frigolandia sono tanti, ma forse non abbastanza per far cambiare idea al sindaco e al comune di Giano. La storia di Frigolandia sembra così giunta a un bivio.

È il capitolo più triste della storia di Frigidaire, ma tocca raccontarlo. Si tratta delle morti di Stefano Tamburini e Andrea Pazienza, a pochi anni di distanza l'una dall'altra, entrambe per overdose da eroina, raccontate da chi c'era e gli ha voluto bene. Erano giovanissimi e ancora enormemente ricchi di talento. Tamburini se n'è andato a 31 anni, Pazienza a 32. Ci lasciano un patrimonio di sogni e di segni incalcolabile. La loro scomparsa, a tanti anni di distanza, suscita ancora forte emozione, rammarico e un profondo senso di perdita.

Questo episodio è dedicato al rapporto tra la rivista e i suoi lettori, ovvero il rapporto tra un gruppo di artisti e un pezzo di popolo italiano, con le sue paure e le sue voglie. Un rapporto viscerale, una serie di scambi che diventa la fotografia di un'epoca. E allora i racconti dei detenuti politici, gli insulti, le avances, le provocazioni: perché i lettori si interrogano anche sulla natura della loro rivista preferita, sui rapporti interni alla redazione, si accorgono della graduale scomparsa di alcuni dei loro feticci, come Andrea Pazienza. Frigidaire ha raccontato i corpi e i loro desideri, i bisogni di una generazione di ragazze e ragazzi chiusi in casa a sognare, o sempre in viaggio, alla ricerca di avventure, per inseguire nuove illusioni o guarire dalle delusioni… Come veniva incanalata questa energia, nelle pagine della rivista? E che fine hanno fatto, questi lettori?

Senza Vincenzo Sparagna non sarebbe esistito Frigidaire. Oggi Sparagna è un vecchio saggio, un capellone ritirato nel suo monastero lisergico: ma qual è la sua storia? Lo scavo nel suo passato diventa un espediente per raccontare la seconda metà degli anni Settanta, le tante alternative alla cupezza del mito terrorista, le strane parabole esistenziali di quegli anni: figlio di un pittore che legge e scrive, Sparagna viaggia da Napoli al Sud America rivoluzionario e torna in Italia, dove lavora a un settimanale satirico, il Male, che finirà per vendere centinaia di migliaia di copie. Poi: l'incontro con i geni fumettari di una piccola rivista underground, Cannibale. Fedele alle sue radici, tra pericolosi reportage e fotoromanzi erotici Frigidaire continua a fare politica e satira politica: ma a modo suo.

Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12 —the first three verses there —Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #realtalk #face #instagram #amour #take #couple #dance #dancers #vogue #voguedqnce #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing H

Ben ritrovati Stupefan! Vi siamo mancati? Voi tantissimo! Siamo stati in giro a procacciarvi nuove storie perché purtroppo le cronache ci raccontano sempre la solita minestra riscaldata. Come avevamo predetto un paio di mesi fa, la propaganda russa a sostegno della guerra di invasione contro l'Ucraina continua a riguardare soprattutto le droghe: è diventato virale infatti un video falso che mostrava il presidente ucraino Zelensky al lavoro alla sua scrivania accanto ad una montagnetta di polvere bianca. Non è finita qui, perché (di nuovo!) la proposta di legge Magi-Licatini sull'autocoltivazione della cannabis è bloccata in commissione giustizia alla Camera, mentre Salvini dal Senato propone (di nuovo!) il progetto “droga zero” sotto forma di legge che, di questo passo, potrebbe venire discussa prima di quella che ha iniziato il suo percorso due anni or sono. Per questo abbiamo deciso di portarvi altrove, non vi meritate solo la desolazione delle notizie quotidiane.

What if the worst invention of all time wasn't the atomic bomb or some deadly viral pathogen, but the Refrigerator.  The US throws away 8o billion tons of food a year, most of which has been attributed to poor refrigerator organization. Food waste accounts for 40% of our total food supply and has an economic impact of roughly $1600 per family in the US. Compound that with the type of food that is being wasted and there is no confusion about why America is the most unhealthy of all industrialized nations. Is the solution to return the Maytag or Frigidaire? Most likely not. While CEO's are a plenty in this world, few will ever earn the moniker of "Shaper," someone destined to leave a positive mark on the planet. Like Elon Musk or Walt Disney, Greg Connolly is on a mission to lead a charge the reshapes the Earth. Trifecta is a home meal delivery company who's mission is to remove the possibility of diet failure by delivering fresh healthy meals directly to their customers doors. After speaking with Greg on this episode of Complete Human, we found that the mission goes far beyond that. From optimizing supply chains which decreases total carbon footprint, to innovating packaging that actually serves as compost, Trifecta seems destined to make a major dent in that 80 billion tons of food every year problem while addressing major climate issues and health problems.  Where Trifecta differs from other home meal delivery companies, and believe us, we've tried them all, is that you actually want to eat their food. They have clearly not sacrificed quality to chase margin. The variety of meals they offer and the quality of those meals are clearly one of the reasons that Trifecta is the largest business of it's kind. While giving back the refrigerator is not really an option any more, packing it full of Trifecta is one step that we can all take improve the health of the people and the health of the planet. To that end, we encourage all of you to check out Trifecta here and use coupon code completehuman to save 40% off your first order.

What I learned from reading Billy Durant Creator of General Motors: The Story of the Flamboyant Genius Who Helped Lead America into the Automobile Age by Lawrence Gustin.[0:32] DURANT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT AUTOMOBILE PIONEER: Of all the colorful men who propelled the United States into the automobile age, Billy Durant was perhaps the most unusual, and from an organizational standpoint in the pioneering era, the most important. Durant had a hand in shaping the beginnings of three of the four major American automobile manufacturing corporations that exist today.[4:16] HIS LIFE STORY HAS A SURPRISING END: The guy founded General Motors, Chrysler, and Frigidaire. Three gigantic, successful companies. How does he die with no money?[6:04] DURANT TRIED TO PROTECT HIS INVESTORS: He had an attitude, not a common among men of big money. He tried to protect the people who invested with him, even if this protection would break him. Finally, it did. And when he was unable to save the dollars of his supporters he plunged from multimillionaire to bankruptcy.[10:29] DURANT WAS SKEPTICAL OF AUTOMOBILES: Durant starts out as an automobile skeptic. He builds the General Motors of horse-drawn transportation and then takes that same playbook and uses it again to do the same thing in the automobile industry once he gets over his skepticism.[17:08] IF SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT TO YOUR BUSINESS YOU NEED TO CONTROL IT: We have seen this over and over and over and over again in these stories throughout the history of entrepreneurship. If something is important to your business, you need to control it. Durant line up a big contract for the buggies only to find that Patterson chanced upon the same buyer and told him that since the product was actually being made at his factory, the buyer could save money by buying directly from him. Durant that from then on they would build all their own vehicles.[19:12] DURANT ON SALES: Assume that the person you are talking to knows as much or more than you do. Do not talk too much. Give the customer time to think. In other words, let the customer sell himself. That system works best when you have a good product. Look for a self - seller. If you cannot find one, make one.[21:48] ON CONTROL. HENRY FORD REALIZED THIS. THE DODGE BROTHERS DID TOO: We started out as assemblers with no advantage over our competitors. We paid about the same prices for everything we purchased. We realized that we were making no progress and would not unless and until we manufactured practically every important part that we used. We proceeded to purchase plants and the control of plants, which made it possible for us to build up the largest carriage company in the United States.[31:36] DURANT WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME, WITH THE RIGHT SET OF SKILLS: For the first time, he began to see that the automobile had a future. The stockholders of Buick were so desperate that they were willing to turn over controlling interest to him. And perhaps most important, the Durant-Dort Carriage Company had a large, idle factory. [39:11] IT WAS HARD TO RAISE MONEY FOR GENERAL MOTORS: I had a long, hot session with our friends in New York yesterday and was pretty nearly used up at the finish. If you think it is an easy matter to get money from New York capitalists to finance a motor car proposition in Michigan, you have another guess coming. Money is hard to get owing to a somewhat unaccountable feeling of uneasiness and a general distrust of the automobile proposition.[44:25] BILLY DURANT'S MASTER PLAN FOR GENERAL MOTORS: Durant's aim was nothing less than to gain control of some of the biggest and best automobile companies in America. But he also wanted to get in on the ground floor with companies just starting. Durant: “They could be purchased by exchanging small amounts of stock, and who could tell what their patents, products, and inventions might bring? The automobile industry was in its infancy, the public was fickle, the only sure road to power and success was to have a wide range of products. I figured if I could acquire a few more companies like the Buick, I would have control of the greatest industry in this country. A great opportunity, no time to lose, I must get busy.”[51:30] DON VALENTINE TEACHES YOU BUSINESS IN TWO MINUTES: There are two things in business that matter, and you can learn this in two minutes --you don't have to go to business school for two years: high gross margins and cash flow. All companies that go out of business do so for the same reason- they run out of money." —Don Valentine[55:10] GENERAL MOTORS RUNS OUT OF MONEY! DURANT IS FORCED OUT: The bankers demanded control of the company. Durant had no choice but to accept. Automotive historians have generally described the terms as exorbitant. And Durant, in his memoirs, fumed: “The $ 15 million loan finally offered had outrageous terms which I was forced to accept. Under the terms, I received $ 12,250,000 cash ( not $ 15 million ), for which I gave $ 21,600,000 of the best securities ever created — the enormous interest of $ 9,350,000.[57:57] DURANT'S STRATEGY FOR CHEVROLET WAS TO FOCUS ON THE LOW PRICED MARKET BECAUSE IT HAD MORE DEMAND THAN SUPPLY : Henry Ford couldn't build enough cars to satisfy the entire demand for a low priced automobile.[1:04:50] THE UNUSUAL HAPPENS, USUALLY. BILLY DURANT IS THE OPPOSITE OF HETTY GREEN OR MARK SPITZNAGEL: In 1920 the boom that had followed the end of WWI came to a rather abrupt halt and the United States slumped into a sharp recession. The price of GM stock began to decline steadily. GM sold 47,000 cars a month. By November monthly sales were down to 12,000. Durant realized GM needed money.[1:10:26] BILLY DURANT'S LIFE SHOULD HAVE HAD A HAPPIER ENDING: All that can be said for certain about Durant's last days at GM is that his activities in the stock market placed him in an extremely vulnerable situation. Louis Kaufman said in 1927 that had Durant not become involved in the market he would have been worth $500 million and still in charge of GM. ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.
