God's Word or Men's Opinions
A group of tourists bound for a certain ancient city, were in conversation
with some men in their compartment, also going there, and who appeared to be
citizens of that place. Many questions were asked. As they approached their
destination, they saw a great castle, in an extensive park surrounded by the waters
of a beautiful river. "Who lives there?" asked the visitors. With a wide sweep of his
hands, one citizen answered, "The Lord who owns all this country." "Can we visit the
castle?" "0 yes," replied the same man. "It is open to every one." "Not at all,"
contradicted another citizen, and went on, "At the entrance to the bridge is a
warning, 'Trespassers will be prosecuted', and at the entrance to the castle, another,
'Beware of Dogs'." The first citizen asked mockingly, "Have you seen these warning
boards yourself?" "No, but the king's servants say so, and the guide book tells the
same." The first citizen spoke laughingly, "I don't believe the servants, and I don't
believe the guide book either Reason tells me that all people should be free to see
the castle and walk in the park." The second citizen retorted, "In case the servants
and the guide book tell the truth, it will go bad with us." The first citizen answered,
"Who has seen the king? Who knows that those servants are really his? Does the
guidebook truly show his instructions? Anyway, we believe the king is kind. Will such
a ruler really punish so terribly those who break his rules?" A third citizen spoke, "I
feel the servants are either knaves or idiots. Our ideals are equality, and possessing
all things in common. In accordance with human rights we need no permission to see
the castle or its grounds." The second citizen said again, "What's there in applying
for permission to the king's son, his only son and heir, who is managing everything
for his father? We need not run any risk!" The first citizen said in a bantering tone,
"Yes. And, it seems, if we keep close to the prince he will protect us from the fangs
of those bloodhounds. Is it not sheer nonsense? Nobody speaks about a queen, the
lady of the castle. Whence comes this prince then? Whoever that young man may
be, he can be no more son to the king than you or I." They talked on in that strain.
When they arrived at the city, the tourists went aside to discuss what they
had heard. Each bought a guidebook. "This is a mystery," said they. "This guide book
clearly confirms what the second citizen said." One tourist spoke: "But the fact
remains, that not one of those fellows has been anywhere near the bridge, to be
sure of what he says. Those who warn us seem to take for granted, whatever the
servants or this guide book says." A second tourist answered, "What need for
personal experience? Does not reason say, that in this 20th century, no king or
prince can claim an exclusive right to his property? This is the age of democracy. The
people's voice is the voice of God. The subjects should be consulted for making
rules." The citizens had not really dispersed. These came up, and offered to conduct
the visitors to the castle. The tourists were extremely pleased. "Throwaway those
books. They are not a guide really. Trust us," they said. The first tourist clutched his
guidebook to his bosom, and refused to follow the citizens. One or two more of them
did the same. "Poor fools," thought their companions, and told them before they set
out, that they would soon rejoin them at the hotel where they had booked their
rooms. A few of the citizens also refused to make the venture saying, that they were
not so sure that the guidebooks were wrong, after all.
The party which had so rashly set out, decided to do the castle first, and
then to saunter in the park, and lunch in the restaurant -if there was one there.
Then, as if doing the visitors an honor, the citizens asked the tourists to enter the
gate first. But as soon as the unfortunate men stepped in, with hellish howls a pack
of bloodhounds fell on them. Seeing this, the citizens took to their heels the guards
who had been shadowing them all the way, 'arrested those and hand-cuffed them
immediately. The sentinels at the gate drew back the dogs before they tore the
intruders into pieces, and handed over the bleeding tourists also to be handcuffed.
They were all hauled up before the prince who sat on his judgment seat. The
wounded strangers were asked whether they had not read their guidebooks. "But our
friends who are very learned and respectable citizens and experts, were of the
opinion that all people were free to visit here," they answered. "But what does the
guide book issued under my seal, in my father's name, say? Don't you know that this
is my father's property and he can make what rules he likes about it; and that I go
by my own published word, and not according to the opinions of your learned men?
The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge; and not those who reject me
and receive not my words. Had you contacted me, I would have done all the needful,
and you would have been my father's guests. Now you have to pay the utmost
penalty for ignoring my commandments." The guard took the whole party and threw
them into a dark and deep dungeon from which they could never, never escape.
This is only a parable. But it illustrates the truth about the Kingdom of God.
It is God's own domain, and we can enter it only on His own terms and conditions.
Our own ideas, imaginations and plans will not work there. God has declared and
proclaimed in His Word, the Holy Bible, the conditions for admission into His
Kingdom, and has put up clear warnings of the doom of those who reject or ignore
His commandments. He will go by His Word on the Judgment Day, and the Bible will
be the witness against unbelievers who will with crooked teachings keep people from
recognizing their sins, from repenting for their sins, and from going to the Lord Jesus
Christ for salvation.
Paul says, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed"
(Gal. 1:8). The Son of God, our Savior the Lord Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). Now, DEATH
is going to carry you off some day, sure and certain. Then you will find yourself in
ETERNITY. Is it safer for you to trust your Creator, Who knows what He says, and is
anxious to save you from everlasting damnation, or to put your trust in the
miserable theories and opinions of men like yourself, who can neither save you, nor
themselves from the just wrath of God? "For many deceivers are entered into the
world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh...If there come any
unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid
him God speed"(2John7,10).

Warara appointment raises stink
THE appointment of lawyer Charles Warara as a member of the tribunal to investigate Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) commissioner John Makamure has raised stink following revelations that he was not recommended by the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ).
This follows the recent swearing in of retired judge Justice Maphios Cheda as chairperson of the tribunal to look into Makamure's fitness to hold office. Other members include Warara and Regai Thandiwe Hove, also a lawyer.
Makamure is accused of directing one Lee Sung to allegedly fund his political campaigns in Gokwe in return for his protection.
He is also accused of failing to disclose his interest as the founder and trustee of the Southern African Parliamentary Support Trust (Sapst) whose objectives are allegedly inconsistent with the functions of the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission and government.
It has, however, since emerged that Warara, following a probe by human rights lawyer Beatrice Mtewa, was not on the list provided by LSZ to Mnangagwa.
Section 187(4)(b) of the Constitution states that at least one member of the tribunal "must be chosen from a list of three or more legal practitioners of seven years standing or more who have been nominated by an association, constituted under an Act of Parliament, which represents legal practitioners in Zimbabwe.
"We inquire if Mr Warara's name was on the list you provided to the President for this national duty. If his name was, we inquire why, as a representative of legal practitioners in Zimbabwe the Law Society would send a list consisting of the same person for three different tribunals as this naturally affects both the efficacy and the credibility of the findings of such tribunals as the sentiment is now that the result of such tribunals' findings is a foregone conclusion," a letter sent to LSZ on October 29, 2022 by Mtetwa read.
The LSZ denied recommending Warara, which raises questions on the credibility of the tribunal amid reports that Makamure is being politically targeted.
"I advise that Mr Warara's name was not on the list provided to the President by the Law Society of Zimbabwe in respect of this matter. Mr Warara was on our List in October 2020 for the Justice Erica Ndewere Tribunal," LSZ executive secretary Edward Mapara wrote.
"He has not been on our list for all subsequent tribunals that have been set in terms of Section 87 of the Constitution."
In 2020, Warara was also part of the tribunal appointed by Mnangagwa to investigate High Court judge, Justice Erica Ndewere on allegations of misconduct.
This year in April, he was part of the tribunal tasked by Mnangagwa to probe misconduct allegations against another High Court judge, Justice Edith Mushore.

The boat was used as a family ski boat on the Swan River in Perth very extensively from 1962 until about 1972, when the family took a liking to sailing.
During the late 1960's, PH-ABLE was used as the official tow boat for ski competitions in WA, with Ron Marks staying at the Herron household.
Brett has taken custody of the boat. It was restored in 1990 and won the "Best boat in show" at the 1992 WA Wooden Boat Festival. Some decking has been replaced, but otherwise the boat is original.
The boat is still on its original trailer and cross-ply tyres, as well as retaining its original upholstery. The white painted hull is now varnished to show off her timber hull.
PH-ABLE is powered by a Holden 6 cylinder.

1965 – Life Begins At Conception
Long before Roe v. Wade the editors of Life Magazine recognized and documented life in the womb in the April 30, 1965 article, "Drama of Life Before Birth."
Trump's National Emergency Declaration Establishes Dangerous Precedent
personhood,
Pro-life,
Long before the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, along with its companion case Doe v. Bolton, that purported to legalize killing an unborn baby for any reason and at any stage of development, the editors of Life Magazine recognized and documented life in the womb in the April 30, 1965 article, "Drama of Life Before Birth."
This article, which is an unprecedented photographic feat for the 1960s, documents the stages of growth of an unborn baby from fertilization to 28 weeks. In the section detailing fertilization, the article states, "The birth of a human life really occurs at the moment the mother's egg cell is fertilized by one of the father's sperm cells."
In extraordinary photographs using a specially built wide-angle lens and a tiny flash beam at the end of a surgical scope, the photographer was even able to shoot a picture of a living 15-week-old unborn baby.
Despite Democrats' recent horrendous push to pass legislation that broaden abortion laws, they once accepted the fact that life begins at conception. In 1994, the federal advisory board appointed by former President Bill Clinton, affirmed that "The preimplantation human embryo warrants serious moral consideration as a developing form of human life."
The fact that human life begins at conception has also been confirmed by medical professionals for years. A 2014 research brief on the scientific view of when life begins, published by the Charlotte Lozier Institute stated: "Human embryos from the one-cell (zygote) stage forward show uniquely integrated, organismal behavior that is unlike the behavior of mere human cells. The zygote produces increasingly complex tissues, structures and organs that work together in a coordinated way. Importantly, the cells, tissues and organs produced during development do not somehow 'generate' the embryo (as if there were some unseen, mysterious 'manufacturer' directing this process), they are produced by the embryo as it directs its own development to more mature stages of human life. This organized, coordinated behavior of the embryo is the defining characteristic of a human organism."
The research brief concluded in no uncertain terms: "The conclusion that human life begins at sperm-egg fusion is uncontested, objective, based on the universally accepted scientific method of distinguishing different cell types from each other and on ample scientific evidence (thousands of independent, peer-reviewed publications). Moreover, it is entirely independent of any specific ethical, moral, political, or religious view of human life or of human embryos."
A study published in March 2017 by the American College of Pediatricians stated: "The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature."
The study further noted that in 1965, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology attempted to redefine conception to mean implantation as opposed to the previous understanding that it becomes a life at the point of fertilization.
"Despite how much politicians try to deny it, every human life begins at conception, and medical professionals, and even Life Magazine in 1965, confirm this truth," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. "It should go without saying that every unborn and born baby has value, no matter the stage or circumstances. However, the womb, which should be the safest place on earth, has become the most dangerous."

It's said of muscle cars that "only the green survive" as all of the "good" colors have already been mercilessly hooned to death, impaled on telephone poles along the rural highway or wrapped sideways into lampposts at the strip mall.
Few cars look as menacing as a '71-'74 Charger. Especially with faded paint and cracked lights. Imagine picking up a date in this ride.
I'm certain that half the trunk space is compromised by an awkwardly-placed full-size spare wheel. Still good for hauling bodies though.
American Racing wheels wrapped with cheapo Pep Boys rubber. Light 'em up and let the vaporized tire combine with the cloud from that last bong hit for eau de stöner.
Ha - iPhone headphones draped from the rear-view mirror. I'm thinking this car doesn't have any Y&T or Iron Maiden tapes in the glove box.

Uber gives up the fight in Russia
by Chris Isidore @CNNTech July 13, 2017: 3:48 PM ET
Uber: A history of controversies
Uber's international retreat continues.
The ride-hailing service has agreed to cede its operations to a rival in Russia and neighboring countries. Uber is creating a yet-to-be-named service with Yandex (YNDX), which is winning the battle with Uber on its home turf.
Uber will invest $225 million and contribute its UberEats service to the joint venture. Yandex will invest $100 million. But Yandex will own 59%, while Uber will own 37% and employees will hold the rest. And the CEO of Yandex, Tigran Khudaverdyan, will be in charge of the combined business.
Related: Uber CEO Travis Kalanick resigns. Now what?
Yandex is the largest ride-hailing service in Russia, although it gets most of its revenue from its search, portal and e-commerce business. The ride service had been profitable until last year, when it cut its minimum fares. That gave it a big boost in market share, and revenue more than doubled. Despite that increased volume, the unit started losing money, although the overall company remains profitable.
Uber executed a similar strategy when it sold its China operations to rival Didi Chuxing in 2016, and it shut down its service in Denmark in April.
Customers will be able to use either the Uber or Yandex app to arrange rides. The company will also serve Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Georgia.
Combined, the two companies provide more than 35 million rides a month in the region. They say that figure has grown 400% compared with a year ago, though they don't break down how much of that growth is from Uber and how much from Yandex.

Uber tried to portray the decision on Russia as a expansion, though it is clearly a retreat.
"This deal is a testament to our exceptional growth in the region and helps Uber continue to build a sustainable global business," said Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, the head of Uber in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Uber lost $708 million in the first quarter of this year alone, though its revenue grew 18% to $3.4 billion. It recently dumped its CEO, Travis Kalanick, after a series of crises, including allegations that Uber managers didn't adequately address reports of sexual harassment.
Shares of Yandex (YNDX), which are traded on Nasdaq, soared 15% on Thursday.

Finch's recreated flight began from Oakland International Airport at Oakland, California, on March 17, 1997. This was 60 years later to the day of Amelia Earhart's 1937 infamous around-the-world flight attempt in her twin-engine plane. Finch's flight took 10 weeks to complete as she flew in increments of eight hours to 18 hours at a time on average. This was her length between landings where she had rest periods.
Retracing the flight path of Amelia Earhart, Finch closely followed the same route that Earhart flew, stopping at 36 way-points in 18 countries before finishing the trip two and a half months (a total of 73 days) later when she landed back at the Oakland Airport on May 28. The trip was about 26,000-miles long. Finch's flight and education programs were supported by The Hartford Currant, with a reporter and photographer. Reid Dennis provided a videographer, and a support plane to assist in telling Amelia's and Linda's message - "That you can have your dreams - and they should be big dreams". Earhart had none of these modern electronic equipment devices. The Electra's cabin is not pressurized and it does not carry oxygen and, like Earhart, Finch had to fly below 10,000 ft for much of the flight.
Finch touched down on five continents while mirroring Earhart's route and stops as best she could. She was unable to secure permission to overfly Libya and made more stops while crossing the Pacific than were planned by Earhart because some areas didn't have the right fuel for the restored Electra. Her next to last leg was an eight-hour flight from Kiritimati to Hawaii. In that leg Finch did not land at Howland Island, the destination that Earhart never reached, because of the deteriorated state of the airfield on the one-mile-long island. She did however drop a single wreath over Howland Island from her aircraft in honor of the pioneering aviatrix. Finch's last leg on May 28 was an estimated 15-hour flight between Hawaii and Oakland, California. At the time of this historic flight in 1997, Finch was 46-years-old, five years older than Earhart's age on her final flight.
Finch believed that Earhart's courage, heroism and limitless vision are powerful inspirations for young people of all ages. Finch tied her flight to an educational program called "You Can Soar." Finch's team, and Pratt & Whitney, developed a comprehensive free multimedia educational outreach program as part of the historic recreated flight. It reached a million at-risk and minority middle school students and their teachers in the United States as they followed her progress daily. Finch met with groups of school children at all her stops in the United States and many of her stops overseas. Pratt & Whitney provided World Flight 1997 an official web site with a multimedia school program that used the flight to teach geography, science, weather and mathematics to students. As well, the high-tech computer and communication equipment in her aircraft allowed children in some 200,000 classrooms around the world to chart her progress via the Internet. The website was accessed approximately 30 million times in 2 1/2 months. Finch said she used a laptop in the cockpit of the Electra to answer e-mail messages and she spent four or five hours every day after landing to keep in touch with her businesses and her three children: Julie, Leslie and Katie (ages 28, 21 and two at the time).
Following the world flight, Finch appeared at numerous aviation-related events including the EAA Convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to describe the "wonderful ride." The Lockheed Electra 10E, S/N 1015, N72GT used in the historic flight, as of early 2008, is registered in Cody, Wyoming, and hangared in New Mexico. Help The Museum of Flight to acquire the Electra and return it to its purpose - educating and inspiring young people. Contact the museum at 206.764.5720.

There's More To The Humble Durian Than A Roadside Feast
From the experience to health advisory and traditional remedies.

There is usually a shed in a clearing in the middle of a durian orchard. It's a simple raised platform to keep it off of the ground, with a roof to provide shade. If you're lucky, there will be some rambutan trees. If you're unlucky, there will also be some fire ants.
The rambutan tree will bear clumps of fruits, ready for picking when durian season is approaching. Most are red, some are yellow, a snack while waiting for the fickle durian. Its wood and leaves would be burned to make smoke, to chase away the insects.
For those in the know, there would also be mangosteen somewhere. This purple-skinned fruit is often eaten with durian back in the day because they go well together, and the mangosteen is said to counter the "heatiness" of the durian.

A novice would get excited as the noon breeze picks up speed. From up high came a sudden sound, like splashes of leaves, that ended as abruptly as it began, with a thud.
Sometimes it's just the one, sometimes it's more, but it is almost always too few. As the breeze turns into a gust, it is up to the experienced to hold back the novice's compounding excitement. Rushing for the durian fruit before winds calm down and the fruits have stopped dropping would mean certain injury.
The durian trees grew tall. It takes at least 5 years before they bear fruit. The large multi-kilogram fruits are laden with thorns and could drop from its branch without warning, onto an unsuspecting victim.
Sorting it all out

After the fruits are safely collected, they will need to be sorted. The ones that broke open had to be consumed first, or be made into tempoyak (fermented durian).
Each tree would have its own personality and taste. Some would be early, some would be late in the season. Some would bear small fruits, and some would bear delicious ones. Those with experience would know which is which.
They would also know that those with holes in them, made by squirrels or monkeys, are the best ones. The animals always knew how to pick the fruits better than us.
Even after all that, the durian would still put up a fight. Opening one takes skill, a bit of know-how, the right tool, and of course, experience.
Now durian is in everything from ice cream to pizza. It can be found almost all year round, plentiful, and ready to be consumed.
Advice from the Ministry of Health
NutitionistKKM / Twitter
Since it is the durian season, the Nutrition Department of the Ministry of Health put out an advisory for all durian lovers in the form of 5 tips to make your durian eating experience better.
Avoid eating durian on an empty stomach. Remember, it is not a meal.
Have durian after the main meal. Eating this fruit without eating something else first may amplify the fruit's side effects.
Take durian with plenty of water, not sugary drinks.
Eat durian moderately. The ministry's service suggestion is 3 pieces. Not 3 whole fruits.
Limit your intake of foods with high sugar and coconut milk (fat) such as cendol, porridge, durian dodol (taffy), and others.
The ministry also noted that the side effects of durian such as feeling heaty, headaches, and gassiness, are not prevalent and are not something that is experienced by everyone.
While the nutrition value of a durian differs from fruit to fruit and piece to piece, it is still considered nutritious.
A durian contains no cholesterol, a lot of energy, full of dietary fibre, and is a source of vitamin C. At the same time, it is high in fat and carbohydrates.
The traditional way
Serenity Mitchell / Unsplash
While the side effects of the durian do not affect everyone, it has been a problem that durian lovers have faced ever since one of these fruits fell from the sky and almost killed them.
Remedies are plenty and they address two main problems: heatiness, and the smell which comes from sulfur in the fruit.
Some pair the fruit with mangosteen, one of the most common practices is to drink water from the durian shell.
However, the most hard-core of the durian eaters would take the white membranes from inside the durian, put them in a bottle, and fill it up with water. They will then drink plenty of this water, refilling it after each durian session.
Finally, a pro tip that both health professionals and veteran durian aficionados would agree: never have durian with alcohol.
Bonus Tip: To get rid of the durian smell from their hands, some folks wash their hands using a durian seed. It works just like stainless steel soap. It binds with the sulfur that gives the fruit its smell and washes it away.

Supps: The MOVIE. An Interview with Director Alex Ardenti
Posted on November 15, 2017 by Mike Roberto | 1 Comment
Update: The movie has now been released! Find it on Amazon!
World-renowned bodybuilding photographer and director Alex Ardenti is directing the first feature-length film devoted entirely to the supplement industry in Supps: The Movie. Check out all the info!
The supplement industry is bigger than ever, and the use of dietary supplements has never been greater. We've witnessed rapid market expansion the past few years, yet there's really never been a feature film honestly covering the ins and outs of the industry which we're all so passionate about it.
Until now that is:
We recently sat down with Alex Ardenti, one of the most prolific bodybuilding photographers and directors in the industry to discuss his history in the industry, his passion for supplements, and what ultimately led to his desire to create a feature-length film about supplements.
If you're not familiar with Alex, or his work, give his name a quick Google search and you'll see that he's one of the biggest and best names in the game. He's made it his mission to deliver a truthful, unbiased portrayal of the supplement industry spanning its origins to its current state.
The feature film is aptly titled — Supps: The Movie and hits theaters summer 2018 (see the movie's IMDB page for the current cast, which is growing to this day).
More about SUPPS: The Movie
Meet the man behind the film — Alex Ardenti. Bodybuilder, photographer, actor, and director.
Before we get to the interview, here are some important notes about the upcoming feature-length film:
SUPPS: The Movie is 100% independent of the supplement industry and is financed and produced by Ardenti Films.
It's currently being shot in Hollywood and other parts of the US (November 2017) and hopefully Europe and Australia
ZERO funding has been accepted from any brand for product placement, and no one from the supplement industry has helped finance the film.
A big focus of the film will be of the marketing of supplements and the origins of supplement advertising beginning from 1901.
Release date is slated for sometime Summer 2018.
Interview with Alex Ardenti
Here's some highlights from our conversation with Alex:
What was it about the bodybuilding culture that drew you in and how has it impacted your own bodybuilding career?
"I'm from Rome, Italy and was 12 years old at the time I fell in love with bodybuilding, supplements, California, and the Joe Weider / Arnold Schwarzenegger relationship all at the same time when I picked up a copy of Muscle Builder magazine (now Muscle & Fitness) in 1976.
One glance at photos of Arnold running on the beach in Santa Monica with girls in bikinis and I knew exactly what I wanted to do and where I wanted to live for the rest of my life. I had every intention of going on to be an architect but all that flew out the window when I started working out.
At 17 I won Jr Mr Italy and at 19 Jr Mr Europe. I then won Pro Mr Italy and moved to California after completing my mandatory Italian Military service in the Police Force."
Given the success you experienced in bodybuilding, what drove you to pursue a career photography and forego the competition life of a bodybuilder?
"Coming to California had the opposite effect I was hoping for on my career. I realized once I was here that I didn't want to be a pro bodybuilder because most of the competitors I saw were jobless and jumping from one rich girl to the next. Nothing wrong with that really as long as everyone involved is happy but it's certainly not sustainable.
It really dawned on me when a top pro at the time that was all over the magazines would show up at Gold's Venice on a bicycle twice a day, not because he needed the cardio but because he honestly couldn't afford to buy a car. 'I just go back and forth to the gym everyday anyway' he would say.
It became clear that ending up like him was a strong possibility if all I did was train and hang out at the beach and I went through a few years of severe depression.
I snapped out of it when I decided to get an agent and started booking a lot of national commercials that paid well and bit parts on TV shows. In 1990, I bought a camera and started to take head-shots of actors, and their agents all of a sudden started giving me tons of photography work for all their other talent.
Then, after sending a few pics of a bodybuilder to Muscle Mag International, Robert Kennedy called me and not only did he give me lots of photo assignments he actually started mentoring me and explaining how the whole industry worked. He gave me a job shooting for a new company called Muscletech that his young employee was about to start and that was my foray into the advertising world. I felt that I had found my calling around 1990 and in no time was working for 30+ magazines around the world."
You've photographed and worked with some of the most popular bodybuilders of all time, any "favorites" among all those you've worked with or funny stories during your one on one time with the athletes. Any awkward moments you can or want to share from the sets?
"I treat everyone the same on my set whether they are multi Mr Olympia winners or nervous first-timers. I enjoy working with all athletes really, but I have to say Jay Cutler and Milos Sarcev stick out in my mind just because of their professionalism throughout the years and eagerness to be on set and get the best shots possible. Some of the newer "champs" have a lot more arrogance than the legends of the sport. Maybe because they have more Instagram followers and that seems to go to their head. They are constantly fed BS from their fans and they can't differentiate what's real and what's not anymore.
I have to say that driving around Ronnie Coleman, Kevin Levrone, Nasser El Sonbaty, Milos Sarcev and others around Rome dressed in full gladiator outfits for a Muscle & Fitness shoot will be unforgettable. At one point Ronnie jumps out of the van in the middle of traffic to hop into a pharmacy with his leather skirt, helmet and sandals and Roman traffic come to a complete halt including everyone on the sidewalk. He then nonchalantly pops back into the van and we resume our trip to the Colosseum and the Appian Way for our shoot."
You've done a good bit of acting, directing, and photography…which is your favorite and which one are you most passionate about?
"Acting was and still is a lot of fun. I don't go on cattle calls anymore, but I am called in on select projects that call for a native Italian mostly. I will always shoot stills, but photography for me just evolved into filmmaking and directing commercials. It was a natural evolution for me. I stopped counting when I landed my 1,500th magazine cover. There was really nowhere else to go as a fitness-magazine photographer.
There's no natural segue from Muscle Mag to Time magazine or Vanity Fair. Hollywood was a huge and scary challenge and that's what attracted me to it in the first place. There are no ex-bodybuilders that are working directors in Hollywood."
What was your driving motivation to make a feature film about the supplements industry? Passion of supplements, bad experience with a shady product, or just looking to address a major category that's never been addressed before?
"SUPPS: The Movie is a first-person documentary about my involvement with the sports supplement industry and bodybuilding throughout the years. My passion and keen interest in supplements drove me to create the film.
I want to showcase all the positive and interesting aspects of the fitness and bodybuilding industry also at the same time. Supplements and fitness have been intertwined for well over 100 years now."
What do you hope to accomplish with the release of the Supps movie? Bring about change? Broaden appeal of the category to people outside the lifting world? Etc.
"We owe it to ourselves to show the general public that the people who take hardcore supplements and train diligently are not a bunch of idiotic meatheads that live for the pump alone and will throw any kind of garbage in their bodies to get a little extra muscle.
The mainstream news media does an excellent job of portraying that image so we don't need to feed that fire. We often have a tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot. SUPPS is obviously about sports supplements but bodybuilding will have a strong presence throughout the film. I have yet to see a positive feature-length documentary on our world since Pumping Iron and I am certainly not the only one to feel that way."
Do you foresee Supps: The Movie painting a favorable light on the industry, or mores as a call to action to clean up the unscrupulous tactics that seem to be more and more commonplace these days with endless amounts of companies constantly popping up on the scene?
"It's not a "gotcha" kind of documentary-like say Roger and Me or Supersize Me was. There is no villain to go after and expose to the world. On the other hand it won't be a 'sugar coated' film by any means, but for the most part it's showing the great success stories we have had and no one in the general public knows about.
My target audience is the mainstream public and I think they will be intrigued, educated and possibly even inspired by some of our key personalities that started literally with nothing and went on to build empires. We have guys that started selling one single private label product driving around from gym to gym to get it out there and subsequently went on to become CEOs of major companies.
That's the American Dream right there."
Which companies do you think are truly innovating and paving the way for the future of the supplement industry?
"I need to be impartial and completely unbiased if I am to do justice to the film and the subject matter. I don't want SUPPS to be Alex Ardenti's opinion on what works and what doesn't. The audience doesn't care about that.
As a filmmaker I will give some brief accounts on what some supplements did to me, especially as a competitor, but for the most part I let the scientists and experts talk about key ingredients we all know and use.
I go into the whole history of supplement marketing and endorsements and try to unravel the evolution of supplements from a scientific point of view as well as a marketing and advertising point of view as best as I can."
The industry is under some pretty intense heat from the government with a batch of raids and high-profile lawsuits. What are your feelings towards regulations of supplements? Should we have more stringent regulations or a more laissez-faire approach?
"My personal opinion is that it should be illegal to manufacture any supplement outside a cGMP facility. Period.
There are so many great labs in North America and Europe that it would be very silly to not make your product in a facility that can be inspected by the FDA at any moment without notice. You should demand that kind of quality.
I have friends that own such facilities and their labs are simply amazing. They are anal about not breaking any kind of rules on the premises because they can be shut down by the authorities at any time. cGMP labs are very regulated and you can ask any of the lab owners what they have to do for each batch to meet FDA guidelines. The government shouldn't allow some moron to package pills in his/her kitchen and put them up for sale on eBay saying that they are supplements. That should stop immediately. It's illegal in Europe and Australia and it should be illegal here also.
SUPPS: The Movie will hopefully shed some light on some of these topics without it being a boring "legislative-heavy" documentary. I'll try to make it as entertaining as possible. I work for the most part in the sports supplement advertising industry and it's a relatively small niche but one that I truly love. I am friends with a lot of great people and some very intelligent and forward thinking scientists. Some of them have truly inspired me throughout my career It's about time we show everyone what we are all about. If we don't tell our story correctly no one else will."
Will the proverbial "bubble" burst on the supplements industry anytime in the near future and do you think Supps: The Movie helps or hurts the growth of the industry?
"SUPPS will no doubt help the supplement industry and the current legislation doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon so I see the growth continuing at a fairly rapid pace."
OK, we've gone through the heavy-hitting questions, now time for some easier, more fun questions…What's the first supplement you ever used?
"First supplement was Weider's Crash Weight Gain Drink Formula 7 at 12 years old. I get into that in SUPPS. I grew like a weed on that stuff."
Who's your favorite bodybuilder of all time?
"Arnold."
Who's Ready to See SUPPS?!
Don't be surprised if you start seeing ads all over the place in the muscles magazines for Supps: The Movie.
If you thought the supplement industry was wild, just wait until SUPPS: The Movie hits mass market theaters! The popularity, and scrutiny, or supplements and the entire industry will surely skyrocket following the release of SUPPS: The Movie.
You can check out the IMDB page to see who's in it – at the time of writing, we have industry celebrities including the following:
Grab your popcorn folks, this will be fun to watch!

La construcció de pau és una activitat que té com a objectiu resoldre la injustícia de manera no violenta i transformar les condicions culturals i estructurals que generen conflictes que poden ser mortals o destructius. Gira al voltant del desenvolupament de relacions personals, de grup i polítiques constructives a través de les fronteres ètniques, religioses, de classe, nacionals i racials. El procés inclou la prevenció de la violència; gestió, resolució o transformació de conflictes; i la reconciliació posterior al conflicte o la curació de traumes anteriors, durant i després de qualsevol cas concret de violència.

Com a tal, la construcció de la pau és una tècnica o mètode intersectorial multidisciplinari que esdevé estratègic quan funciona a llarg termini i a tots els nivells de la societat per establir i mantenir relacions entre les persones a escala local i global i, per tant, genera una pau sostenible. Les activitats estratègiques de construcció de pau aborden les causes originals o potencials de la violència, creen una expectativa social per a la resolució pacífica de conflictes i estabilitzen la societat políticament i socioeconòmica.

Els mètodes inclosos en la construcció de pau varien segons la situació i l'agent de construcció de pau. Les activitats de construcció de pau reeixides creen un entorn favorable per a una pau duradora i autosostenible; que inclou reconciliar els oponents; evitar que el conflicte es reiniciï; integrar la societat civil; crear mecanismes d'estat de dret; i abordar els problemes estructurals i socials subjacents. Els investigadors i els professionals també troben cada cop més que la construcció de pau és més eficaç i duradora quan es basa en les concepcions locals de la pau i les dinàmiques subjacents que fomenten o permeten el conflicte.

To continue yesterday's thought, the recent Supreme Court decision has profoundly affected people I know, of course. It has made some of them very happy, it has made others very UNhappy, and seems to have left those not on either end of those extremes with a general sense of bemusement.
In other words, a fairly standard human reaction to any kind of change.
So how does the recent Supreme Court decision on marriage affect me personally?
Sometimes it amazes me how many prolific and once famous authors are out there that almost nobody has ever heard of these days, much less read. Sometimes out of literally hundreds of works, an author is remembered, if they are remembered at all, for a handful of sentences at best.
If that's the future legacy, so to speak, that most authors can look forward to, why bother? More specifically, why do *I* bother?
Meh . . . because it amuses me in the now.
Yesterday I stumbled across a favorite movie of mine, Mister Frost. Now if you haven't seen it (and odds are you probably haven't), it's a difficult movie to describe. it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea, and not in the "you either love it or hate it" sense either, but more in the "you are either enthralled by it . . . or bored by it." And even though I like the movie, a quick re-viewing of some key scenes reminded me how much I found it "over-stylized" at points, particularly in some uses of lighting and soundtrack, as well as in at least one "excessive use of overdramatic close-ups of over-horrified faces" scene.
Even so, I remain enthralled by this movie, but it's definitely not done in your "average" movie style, and that got me thinking . . .
Sometimes people just want things both ways, I suppose, even when having it both ways is mutually exclusive.

Now Rihanna's Instagram Is Just Fucking With Us
Kate Dries
Perhaps you logged on to Instagram this morning to look at photos of babies and food and hilarious things of an irreverent nature. But perhaps you were instead greeted with a photo of Rihanna ass in a denim thong (there is such a thing). She's probably shooting her new music video, you figure, as noted from the hashtags: "#pouritupvideoshoot #whenday2becomesday3 #whenthephuckdid8amgetthere."
In my case, I took a screenshot — not because I have a burgeoning collection of celebrity nudes (I don't), but because the rule of thumb is: If Rihanna posts something sexy, there's a 50 percent chance that in an hour, it won't be there.
The last time this happened in a distinct fashion was at the end of March, when Rihanna visited a strip club and chose to Instagram photos of the nude strippers with captions like "$strip club$ and $$ bills$" (a lyric from her new song "Pour It Up" that she was shooting the video for) and "I still got mo money", perhaps referencing the fact that yes, she probably does have more money than the strippers she was watching perform. She deleted the photo and, that same night, tweeted "This is terrible", which she also deleted. Perez Hilton speculated that she could have felt bad about Instagramming the strippers, which, as far as I know, isn't allowed in most clubs, though Rihanna probably doesn't have to follow those rules. Others felt it was in reference to her on-again-off-again relationship with Chris Brown, who is usually engaging in some super adult social media drama with Rihanna and Karrueche Tran. Or she could have just thought the strippers weren't doing a very good job. The depths of her psyche are endless.
In April, Rihanna repeated this Instagram behavior, posting a headless shot of someone's chest that was removed but of course made its way online in no time at all. She later clarified that those weren't her breasts and nipple piercing, so we're left assuming that the photo is of a fan of hers who "went to #WERK" after leaving her show by the tweet that accompanied the image:
This type of Instagram behavior has prompted other celebrities like Jessie J (if you would call her that, I'm still waiting for the music industry to stop trying to make her famous) to call out the exhibitionist behavior:
Jessie J then hastily clarified in a series of tweets that she wasn't calling out Rihanna specifically, adding, "But I will openly say the amount of pictures including men and woman nude and girls and guys promoting smoking drugs on the internet these days is a lot." She continued:
"Feels like the boundries are disappearing. Its become fashionable and in my opinion its too much. Call me what you want but that's MY opinion and I'm intitled to one."
The photo that does remain from Rihanna's long ass-filled Tuesday night paints a slightly alluring – if much less scandalous – image of the pop star's life. We can gather that she's playing (or playing with) a stripper in her new video. It sounds titillating, if you're into that sort of thing. But it's not all-together that interesting.
Rihanna understands that the value of nudity increases when you tease it. At this point, I doubt that she's just posting these photos in a spur-of-the-moment fashion, only to get yelled at by her team to take it down because she's setting a bad example/getting bad press/getting too naked. Even her own mother, who has yelled at her for doing it, hasn't managed to stop her entirely, as she explained to Elle UK in an interview that leaked a few days after she'd Instagrammed another ass shot:
"I'm not afraid of any person in this world but my mother, I'm terrified of her! She called me...and reeled me in about two naked pictures [my friend] Melissa put up on Instagram, a sneak peek from a photo book she's making about me.
She went crazy on me, I was like, embarrassed. I felt like I got my ass whipped in front of my class at school! She humbled the fuck out of me."
It's difficult to imagine that, even at her young age, Rihanna doesn't know what she's doing. Many argue that she doesn't give a fuck – something she actually proclaims in a terrible song – and that might be true. She seems to relish the female form, both hers and that of woman around her, using it as a way to demonstrate her life is exciting and rebellious. She flagrantly disregards — or at least toys with — Instagram's #2 basic term, which reads:
"You may not post violent, nude, partially nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service."
She's notably managed to do this without diluting the value of her brand and has possibly even increased it. She's not alone; supermodel Chrissy Teigan recently flouted Instagram's no-nudity rules in what appears to be a joke coupled with a bid to get attention. It's the female celebrities that do similar things and are treated as trashy that are worth looking at, usually the ones whose brands seem unsure and sketchy, like Aubrey O'Day, who basically floods the market with her half-nude body, or Annalyne McCord, who accidentally Tweeted a nip pic but wasn't very famous to begin with. For others who have an established place in whatever field of entertainment they've chosen, carefully chosen nudity only heightens excitement about them.

Perpetual sexy schoolgirl AnnaLynne McCord, who regularly makes out with her sister in front of…
It's unlikely that Rihanna's going to wake up one day and say, Oh man I've got to stop Instagramming sexually graphic content, though she might; she's young enough that she's got to get a new routine eventually. I assume her current routine is something like a recipe she's made a thousand times: Snap that carefully posed pic, and upload it. Then, set the timer on the phone and wait an hour. When the timer goes off, delete. Final step: Wait for people to start paying attention.
