5 of the Best Ice Cream Shops in Los Angeles to Celebrate National Ice Cream Day
America's National Ice Cream Day is celebrated each year on the third sunday in July in the U.S., which is July 19 this year — it's perfect timing to use the excuse of a summer indulgence for a trip to one (or five) of the best LA-born and bred ice creameries in the Greater Los Angeles area.
There are few things in this world that I love more than ice cream — and both luckily and unluckily, the Greater Los Angeles area is enormous which makes it very difficult to narrow down to just seven shops for this list. Therefore, I must also link to these top LA ice cream shop lists via Thrillist, Eater, LAist, and TripSavvy to offer plenty of opportunities to properly celebrate this once-a-year treat.
Here are five of the best ice cream shops in LA that I've had the privilege of visiting here in LA — with a bit of backstory on what makes them each so special (in addition to their stellar ice cream, of course).
[Editor's Note: As of July 2020 Los Angeles County is still enforcing precautionary rules that prohibit in-room dining services to stop the spread of COVID-19, but these special shops are offering to-go orders and offering pints to go/shipped to your doorstep to celebrate this special day]
The Dolly Llama (Koreatown, DTLA, Sherman Oaks)
The Dolly Llama and its creation has an interesting background. The shop's name was inspired by a real life llama that resides on a farm in the South of France, which had a significant impact on Samuel Baroux, owner/founder of The Dolly Llama! Sam wanted to bring his passion for food and dessert to the United States while tying in a touch of nostalgia and fun from his home back in France and viola- "The Dolly Llama" became a real conception in Los Angeles, in 2017.
My bubble waffle cone itself has a backstory too. Also known as an "egg waffle," this dessert originated from Hong Kong as the #1 most popular Hong Kong street snack- but The Dolly Llama puts its own special twist on this dessert by using hand-made batter and stuffing the voluptuous cone the brim with added sweet treats right in front of your eyes.
You can choose one of their formulas, or build your own (why yes, I'd like whipped cream on top!). Traditionally, there's there's seating downstairs to watch all of the ice cream making action happen, as well as an upstairs enclave to enjoy in elevation — but right now, it tastes just as good as take-out.
Coolhaus (Culver City)

Coolhaus (was founded by Natasha Case and Freya Estreller in 2009 when the two realized they felt that Millennials, women, and especially gay women, were not properly represented by any dessert brands that were currently sitting up on shelves. They left their full-time jobs in architecture and non-profit real estate development to create a brand that they themselves would want to buy (and which apparently a lot of other people still want to buy, too).
As a women-founded and women-led company, Coolhaus's mission seeks inspire women and younger generations to rethink the industries in which they want to succeed (and then go out and do it).
This is all in addition to creating fantastic frozen desserts. Coolhaus offers neat flavors such as fried chicken and waffles, horchata, and street cart churro dough…
MILK (Silver Lake, Fairfax)
MILK business Owner Nayla Audi was born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, and always had a particular infatuation with world of gastronomy — after completing her degree in Political Science, she embarked her chosen career in Los Angeles, CA because it's a land of culinary opportunity.
She spent time in the kitchen of restaurant PATINA in LA and learned the art of Ice Cream making, which grew into becoming her true passion. Audi then returned back to Beirut in 1997 and founded her own Ice Cream company, naming it OSLO (which also has a fascinating story you can read about, here).
In 2007 Audi brought her talents of making frozen treats back to Los Angeles, and MILK's first location was established on Beverly Boulevard near The Grove. These treats are made with natural ingredients — and include MILK's specialty blue velvet cake, classic desserts such as sundaes, banana splits, brownie and blondie sundaes, shakes, malts, floats, cones, and my favorite — macaroon sandwiches — there's certainly no shortage of treats to enjoy.
Gelateria Uli (DTLA)
Gelateria Uli is a small-batch gelato shop with a rotating assortment of experimental flavors located in downtown Los Angeles' Historic Core district. The shop's name is inspired by founder Ulviyya Nasibova's nickname — "Uli!"
Nasibova who is originally from Baku, Azerbaijan and immigrated from Baku on a full scholarship from the Colorado College in the United States to earned a degree in liberal arts. In 2014, she quit her stable job working at an investment management firm in Los Angeles to cash out her 401(k) and began constructing the dream which has successfully become Los Angeles' beloved Gelateria Uli.
"My goal is for my gelato to taste and look like Los Angeles," Uli states on her website. Offering diverse flavors that mirror the diverse backgrounds of Los Angeles such as horchata and black sesame, yellow peach sorbet and California pistachio represent the region's seasonal produce; and stracciatella and pistachio pay homage to classic Italian gelatos. Uli is able to do this and more, by offering happiness through delicious ice cream.
Wanderlust Creamery (Multiple Locations)

Adrienne Borlongan and Jon-Patrick Lopez's Wanderlust Creamery began as just a small shop in Tarzana (a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region). After the two opened a booth at the well-known Smorgasburg LA outdoor food market, their dream quickly grew into a successful, local franchise with locations all over the Greater LA area.
The shop speaks true to its name — it specializing in artisanal small batch ice cream made in-house with flavors that inspired by international destinations such as Thai-inspired "Sticky Rice and Mango, "Japanese Neapolitan" that combines matcha, hojicha, & black sesame, as well as "trademark 'Ube Malted Crunch' – a playful take on the ubiquitous Filipino purple yam flavor" and purple cone made from purple yam.
Wanderlust Creamery offers an ever-rotating, seasonal menu. This month's July seasonal flavors include: "Gaz" (Persian Nougat) which was inspired by Isfahan, Iran and "Australian Pavlova" which was inspired by Australia. As the team is always adding new and seasonal flavors inspired by worldly locations, there are no shortage of dreamy destinations to inspire these creamy creations at Wanderlust.
This is just a small sampling of the shops that I've been lucky enough to visit so far, while I've been living here (I have a lot of work to do). Even though times are tough and this summer looks a lot different than summers of the past, there's one thing that hasn't changed: worldwide appreciation and love for good ice cream.
One might dare to say that you can travel the world, this National ice cream day through the diverse flavors inspired by the flavors from cultures across the globe, at these local businesses…. Check them out to celebrate, today!

Biden is Now Caught in One of the Biggest Lies
Joe Biden is once again telling lies and trying to gaslight the American people. Blaming your opposition for exactly what you are doing is a typical Democrat tactic, but at this point it's questionable whether Biden is doing it on purpose, or whether he's just senile.
Biden is trying, and failing, to convince the American people that Donald Trump, his GOP allies, and a significant portion of GOP voters are the only ones who have ever questioned the results of an election in the history of the United States.
"In America, if you lose, you accept the results," Biden said in a speech at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Let's see, has there ever been a time where Democrats didn't "accept the results" when they lost?
These headlines might answer that question:
"Clinton opens door to questioning legitimacy of 2016 election" – CNN, September 18, 2017
"Experts Urge Clinton Campaign to Challenge Election Results in 3 Swing States" – New York Mag/The Intelligencer, November 22, 2016
"Hillary Clinton on Trump's Election: 'There Are Lots of Questions About Its Legitimacy'" – Mother Jones, November 17, 2017
"Column: Was the 2016 election legitimate? It's now definitely worth asking the question" – LA Times, July 28, 2018
"One-third of Clinton supporters say Trump election is not legitimate, poll finds" – The Washington Post, November 13, 2016
"Hacked or Not, Audit This Election (And All Future Ones)" – Wired, November 23, 2016
"Still time for an election audit: Column" – USA Today, November 18, 2016
"Why I Support An Election Audit, Even Though It's Unlikely To Change The Outcome" – FiveThirtyEight, November 28, 2016
Not only did Hillary Clinton question the results of the 2016 election, most of the mainstream media did too. Some even called for audits, which Democrats and the media now vehemently oppose (sounds like they have nothing to hide, right?).
Beyond that, even Joe Biden questioned the results.
Kyle Becker, CEO of Becker News, shared this hypocrisy on Twitter, writing: "Remember, undermining confidence in elections is literally the worst threat to democracy since the 'Civil War.' Right, @POTUS?"
In Becker's post, he shared an old tweet from Joe Biden, where he stated that "We need a President who will… take immediate steps to ensure the security of our elections."
Remember, undermining confidence in elections is literally the worst threat to democracy since the 'Civil War.' Right, @POTUS? 🔻 pic.twitter.com/ASuHZIFsTG
— Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) July 14, 2021
That's a curious statement, considering the fact that Biden and the Democrats are now doing everything in their power to prevent any type of election security legislation from passing, telling lies about GOP legislation, and proposing laws that would actually make our elections less secure.
Of course, Biden won't admit to his hypocrisy, his lies, or his gaslighting.
"You don't call facts 'fake' and then try to bring down the American experiment just because you're unhappy. That's not statesmanship, that's selfishness. That's not democracy; it's the denial of the right to vote," Biden said in the same speech.
So, according to Joe Biden, questioning the results of the election is calling facts "fake," and is "the denial of the right to vote."
The funny thing is, Biden and the Democrats are proposing legislation that would make our elections less secure, thereby allowing illegal and fraudulent votes to cancel out legitimate ones. Isn't that infringing on people's right to vote?
Democrats have proposed legislation that would effectively eliminate voter ID laws in states, and unconstitutionally federalize elections. Yet, they are calling it "voting rights legislation." What about states' rights to control their own elections? What about the 80 percent of Americans who believe voter ID is necessary to ensure election integrity? The Democrats don't care about voting rights, they care about making sure Republicans never win an election again.
"Peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country," Biden said in his speech.
Now, this is the first thing that Biden is correct about. Peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country. But he's wrong about who these "peddlers of lies" are.
Here are just a few of the common Democrat lies and contradictions:
The 2016 election was fraudulent, but 2020 wasn't fraudulent because our elections are secure
Donald Trump is a Russian asset
Babies aren't human beings with rights
Men can be women (and vice versa)
Men have no biological advantage in sports
Voter ID is wrong and racist but vaccine passports should be mandatory
A cake baker has to bake a gay wedding cake even if it is against his religious views, but Facebook/Twitter/YouTube can ban conservatives because they are "private companies"
Cubans are protesting about COVID, not freedom
The left's lies are threatening the foundation of the United States, and our culture. Yet somehow, Republicans are the ones lying and destroying the country.
Will Joe Biden and the Democrats ever be held accountable for their lies and manipulation? Unfortunately, the answer is likely no.

Q: Spring Boot App shutdown immediately under spring-boot-starter-parent version 2.0.1.RELEASE I was studying JavaBrain's spring boot video and I ran into the same error as the link below.
Why does my Spring Boot App always shutdown immediately after starting?
I have specified the dependency of spring-boot-starter-web, but still got the error. My pom.xml looks like this. The thing is when I change the version of spring-boot-starter-parent to 1.4.2.RELEASE everything works fine(I can access the localhost:8080).

A: I already solved the problem. When I used mvn compile manually, instead of clicking the RUN button in eclipse, more details showed up, where some of the dependencies cannot be resolved. So I checked those dependencies in the local repository. The problem is that some dependencies are not downloaded completely(with a ".inprogress" suffix). So the way to solve this is to delete all those broken dependencies and recompile the application, which will download the dependencies again. I guess this problem is most probably occurs in China, where the connection to the maven repository is not stable because of the Great Firewall. And why 1.4.2.RELEASE worked is simply because all the dependencies are downloaded successfully by chance.

Director Bryan Singer's film X-MEN back in 2000 knocked my dinosaur-patterned socks off! Being a huge X-Men fan (Cyclops!), and seeing my mutants on the big screen in live action was just wonderful. He nailed it. And he really set the bar for what a superhero film could and should be at that time. As the years move forward, what constitutes a "good" superhero film is changing a bit and leaning more towards reflecting the source material, colorful costumes and all. But it was X-MEN that showed us the water was warm enough to dip our collective toes in. Singer's follow-up in 2003 X2: X-MEN UNITED proved the first was no fluke and it's still considered the most solid X-film to date by the majority of fans I've spoken with. Theeeeen, things get a little stinky and sour much like most third entries in a superhero film series (SUPERMAN III, BATMAN FOREVER, BLADE TRINITY, SPIDER-MAN 3, etc.). This is largely due to Singer (and James Marsden, aka Cyclops) leaving the franchise for the "love it or hate it" SUPERMAN RETURNS. The result was the much loathed X-MEN: THE LAST STAND in 2006 directed by Brett "whoops" Ratner. Fans of the established movie franchise and comic book universe alike all collectively yelped as if Professor X himself mentally stabbed their brains. A rant for another time (sigh). Since then, we were shown that it could be worse and "worse" it was when 2009 rolled out X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE and slapped us in the face when we were down. After that, something had to change and luckily it did. Audiences were treated to something unheard of…an X-Men not starring Wolverine! And by gosh thanks to a talented team of creators and artists (mainly director Matthew Vaughn), we were treated to 2011's X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. A film that explored the origins of Professor X and Magneto's relationship and the beginning of a new era for the X-Men film franchise. Success! Soon after in 2013, we got a great stand alone Wolverine film, simply called THE WOLVERINE, that served as a sequel of sorts to THE LAST STAND, and it too was pretty darn great. And now that FIRST CLASS showed us X-movies could be good again, series originator Bryan Singer stepped back in the directors position for X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST and proved one thing…he needs to be directing these movies. Yes my friends, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is damn good!
For those of you not "in the know", DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is loosely based on a comic book of the same name and features most of the main players from the original X-movies (Professor X, Magneto, Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Kitty Pryde and Iceman) along with some familiar faces from the FIRST CLASS reboot (younger Professor X, younger Magneto, Mystique, and Beast). The surviving mutants from the original films (with a few extra buddies in the form of Warpath, Bishop, Sunspot, and Blink) are now desperately surviving in a dark and disturbing dystopian future where humans and mutants alike are almost wiped out from an army of shape-shifting robots called Sentinels. It is a losing battle, and out of desperation, Kitty Pryde must use her "stage-two" mutation (don't ask) to slingshot Wolverine (the only one powerful enough to withstand the physical trauma) back into the past to stop the deadly Sentinels from being created in the first place. And apparently it all revolves around the mutant Mystique and her decision to murder the creator of the Sentinal program Bolivar Trask. Yeah, this film is pretty plot heavy. And I will admit, for a film that deals with time-travel, it all makes a lot of sense and is done quite well (except for Professor X being alive in the future without explanation of course). Once Wolverine is thrust back to the 70's to save the day, we meet up with our friends from the FIRST CLASS era and they team-up to stop the future they have in store for themselves in order to save their friends and humanity. Basically they are going to save the world. Classic. The interesting aspect DAYS OF FUTURE PAST has is that it is a sequel to both the original X-Men films that Singer started long ago and a sequel to FIRST CLASS creating a wholly unique movie-going experience rivaling THE AVENGERS massive team-up films.
Many will argue that these X-Men films just have too many mutants. And I wholeheartedly disagree. That's what X-Men is all about! A crap ton of mutants bouncing off one another! The issue lays with a creative team and director that simply can't handle all the awesomeness that is the X-Men universe. Bryan Singer is definitely the man for this job as far as I'm concerned. Not only did he balance a film bustling with a wide array of mutants, but he even managed to navigate the complicated nature of having younger and older versions of many characters throughout. When the dust settles with DAY OF FUTURE PAST, one of the key things I noticed was how each main character had a purpose, an interesting story arc, and mostly equal screen time. A balancing act most directors would struggle with. Once again seeing Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as older versions of Professor X and Magneto was a dream come true. They simply shine on screen and were absolutely perfect as they stood together one last time and reflected on all the things they regret about the past and their complicated relationship. And seeing a hardened Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page), Colossus (Daniel Cudmore), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), and Storm (Halle Berry) struggle in their horrible future was very exciting. Each of these original X-team actors brought their A-game and it really made me yearn for a true sequel with those characters. In the dark future segments, we also have newcomers Bishop (Omar Sy), Blink (Bingbing Fan), Sunspot (Adan Canto), and Warpath (Booboo Stewart) who are all pretty fun while we have them. Due to the randomness of these included mutants (except for maybe Bishop), it is my guess that these characters are some of Singer's favorites and thus included for fun. Even still, they are pretty cool to watch on screen here and add to the growing list of live-action mutants seen on screen.
Returning from the FIRST CLASS side of things, we have Michael Fassbender as Magneto who is as stunning as ever. After seeing Ian McKellen on screen as Magneto for so many years, I never thought he could be replaced…until Fassbender came around that is. He is McKellen's compliment in every way here and really owns the role. And James McAvoy as Professor X continues to impress. Especially here in DAYS OF FUTURE PAST where he really has to confront the kind of man he wants/needs to be in order to become a leader. Honestly, if I had to pick one person as the star of this film, it would be Professor X. He is like the anchor to the main plot points of this film and his decisions resonate the loudest. Other notables from the FIRST CLASS side include Jennifer Lawrence returning as Mystique (so says a 3 picture deal), Nicholas Hoult as Beast, and Lucas Till as Havoc in a hugely limited role due to the character being drafted for war in the film. Just like in FIRST CLASS, Lawrence and Hoult shine and give us great performances. Mystique is a character I usually don't care about, but her relevance in this film is unavoidable, and Beast just hit a sweet spot with me here (see my drawing below!). He is such a likable character in these films and I just want to see more of him. Hoult is pretty cool. We also have a few brand new characters worth mentioning in the form of Evan Peters as the lightening fast Quicksilver and Peter Dinklage as the evil Dr. Bolivar Trask responsible for crafting the Sentinels in the first place. Both these guys are scene-stealers. Peters' Quicksilver arguably has the best action scene in the film, and Dinklage hams it up as Trask and stands out as an interesting addition. All around great casting if you ask me. And last, but not least we have our mainstay in the form of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Like him or not, Jackman IS Wolverine. He has been this character for 14 years now and hasn't lost a beat. Sure he looks a bit older (appropriate for this film), but man does he still have it. He's a force to be reckoned with and is really the constant in this film franchise and has been there for better and for worse…and even worse. My only question is when the man will pass on the role to someone else.
Really what I admired most about DAYS OF FUTURE PAST was it's spot-on pacing and overall engagement. There was never a dull moment and I found myself glued to the screen in a tunnel-vision like trance for the entirety of this film's 131 minute run time. I just had to know what happened next! Simply put, I was enthralled from start to finish. And isn't that what any good movie should do? Enthrall and transport me somewhere else for while. The dark future segments with the original cast and friends was beautifully haunting, Wolverine finally battling side by side with the FIRST CLASS crew was a treat, and the time travel narrative here was perfectly fitting considering just how big this X-movieverse had gotten. Something else I realized about this movie was that it really wasn't a traditional X-movie at all. Think about it. There was never really a time where the X-Men "suited up" and fought as a team (besides in the dark future). What we have here is a multi-layered narrative that breaks the norms and centers around a bunch of struggling characters as they battle through the ages to prevent a tragic and dark future. So in a sense, it was a team-up, just not the kind we are use to.
At its core, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is a summer blockbuster. And with that comes some expected action and spectacle right? Well, DAYS OF FUTURE PAST never skimps in this department either. Everything in the bleak future is just a battleground full of amazing mutant abilities, turmoil, and death-filled battles. Seeing our original heroes duke it out against a common evil one more time was pretty damn fun. And once we hit the 70's, the action does not let up. We have a few fun mutant scuffles, we finally see the Sentinels in action, Wolverine slashes and grunts his way through a few battles, and Magneto absolutely decimates his surroundings all leading up to one of the characters finest action sequences on screen. And as mentioned above, Quicksilver steals the show and wins the award for best action sequence of the film echoing the awesomness that was Nightcrawler in X2. Whatever happened to that guy!? My point here is that the action delivers.
So the credits are rolling and I'm at that nice time in between the feature and the inevitable "after credits" sequence Marvel movie fans are so accustomed to. My mind is still racing with thoughts about how amazing this film was. Singer really out did himself and has really crafted what is possibly the best X-film to date. I also have to touch base upon one of the final scenes where Wolverine wakes up in the X-Mansion and takes a stroll through the hallways. It was just perfect. It was like a dream to me and really embodied everything I ever wanted out of an X-Men film. The Mansion is full of students, the main X-Men are all teachers doing their thing. There is a hustle and bustle energy all around. Beast says hello, Rouge and Bobby share an affectionate moment, Kitty and Colossus team-teaching, Jean standing in a hallway speaking to Professor X in his office, and just as Wolverine is about to embrace the return of Mrs. Grey…CYCLOPS!! Yes! Anyone who knows me must know the sheer amount of joy coursing through my veins seeing James Marsden back in character as Scott Summers. It was movie-going bliss I tell you! And the cherry on top!? He grabs Wolverine's arm and pretty much tells him to back away from his girl reigniting the classic love triangle comic fans know all too well. What did Bryan Singer do you say!? He basically course corrected the franchise he began and put all things where they belong. Some may scoff at this time-traveling solution for all the franchises' problems (something the comics have done time and time again), but I say it was masterfully done and a true gift to all us diehard fans who have been waiting for that moment ever since THE LAST STAND. I've been very patient as Cyclops' #1 fan. While I imagine the final scene was more of a final goodbye to that cast of characters, I can only dream of at least one last adventure with the team that started it all in 2000. But alas, it looks like the franchise has re-set and will continue on with the FIRST CLASS crew and recast all the main players such as Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm in their younger forms. While I would love for the old cast to get their own movie again, I am at peace knowing that no matter what angle they take, Cyclops and Jean Grey can be a part of it all once again. My shoulders can finally slump and rest easy.

Helping Your Child Fall in Love with the World
The community's role in raising globally minded kids.
by Meena Viswanathan
Images provided by National Civil Rights Museum
Have you ever heard of the African term Ubuntu? It means "I am what I am because of who we all are."
According to South African Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, it describes the essence of being human and how we all are interconnected in this global community. In other words, you can't be human all by yourself, what you do (and say) affects the whole world.
So the question is, how do we help our children befriend the world? As the old proverb goes, it takes a village to raise a child and it becomes every individual's responsibility to create a safe and healthy environment, planting the seeds of compassion and love.
As the nation commemorates the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death, his legacy still lives on and reminds us of King's words, "Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."

Opening the topic for discussion – how and when
Last October, Sandra Brown Turner, director of Barbara K. Lipman Early Childhood School and Research Institute at the University of Memphis, conducted a workshop at the Collierville Burch Library on the topic, "How to talk with your children about race?" During the workshop, she shared practical ideas on how parents have the opportunity to help define the concepts of fairness, social justice, and cooperation to children.
"It is important to understand how children perceive their worlds," notes Turner. "We do not bring the subject up in a forced manner. We listen to them, their conversations, their questions, and respond to them at their developmental level."
Social cruelty is out in the open — teasing/name-calling, exclusion/rejection/scapegoating, bullying, and hazing. In Give Your Child the World, Jamie Martin talks about paying attention to the news, but not too much attention. When parents come to a strong foundation of what they want their family to value, then it becomes relatively easier to discuss such issues and help children understand the world they live in.
"Children should get information from reliable sources — parents and guardians fall into that category," points out Terri Lee Freeman, president of the National Civil Rights Museum. "We used to teach 'sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.' Well, that's simply not true. Words can cut like a knife. And with the access that young people have to social media, our words and their words are that much more important."
Freeman was one of the guest speakers at the recent TEDx Memphis conference held at the Halloran Centre. In her speech on the topic "Apologetically Human," she stressed the point of how communication is fundamental.
At Home & School – Giving children the tools to embrace the world
In Best Friends, Worst Enemies – Understanding the Social Lives of Children, Michael Thompson points out that a secure attachment is the first friendship and, among other things, a securely attached child can trust or believe that we hold him/her in mind.
"Attachment is part of how the child learns whether or not the world can be trusted — parents, caregivers, family members," observes Turner. "A child who sees adults demonstrating friendship and caring will know that having a friend is an exchange of the heart and mind."
Be it school or community, exclusion still remains the number one problem. It makes it hard to witness the traits of empathy and kindness — "Everyone is welcome here" and "You can't say you can't play."
Turner makes a valid point. One of the most important words for an adult to say to a child is, "Look!" That implies putting our phones, iPads, and other screens away and paying attention ourselves to what there is to see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. As the child's observation skills develop, the best question for an adult to ask a child is, "What were you thinking about when you asked that question?" When you make such authentic conversation, you are speaking with children.
For instance, when a child overhears a racist comment and relates the incident to you, pay close attention to the information being shared and listen for their take on it. After hearing the whole story, change the script for them, if necessary, and show them what is right. You could say, "In this family, we work toward loving everyone," Turner emphasizes.
Community's role in encouraging good citizenship
The National Civil Rights Museum just celebrated King Day, drawing around 7,000 visitors from around the country to be part of the event.
"Museums represent truth," remarks Freeman. "I think museums are safe spaces for children and adults to learn and be comfortable asking questions that they may not be able to get answered from their parents or friends."
She adds, "While museums like ours have a specific mission to pass on history that is focused on treating all people with dignity and recognizing the diversity of our world, even museums that don't specifically focus on history share a cultural component and teach diversity inclusion by having diverse people represented in their exhibits."
Turner talks about the importance of participating in consciousness-raising events where children come to understand what it means to be a human within the context of other human beings.
The Lipman School observes annual Peace Day in October as a way to counteract fearful events such as 9/11 and begin a lifelong conversation about making peace. Last year the school had 14 countries represented at their Multicultural 'Peace-Nic' Lunch. Other highlights of the celebration included "Wings of Grace" Peace Dove Release and a performance and a sing-along with Dr. Thomas Moore, an early childhood consultant and children's recording artist based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"Tolerance only brings us so far together," concludes Turner. "Acceptance means we offer our own talents and gifts of the heart and mind and ask others to do the same so that we all are better for the outcomes."

It's the daily Talk Show Episode 821.
Happy fat Friday gronk. So what's happening? What's going on? So, the premise was, I was ordering you what I wanted to wait for fat Fridays and yet we're ordering me What? You wanted to wait for some Fridays. Yeah, yeah, Saudis fat Friday. So you got it. We had to sort of indulge Your food is here, Josh, do you wanna go get it? Yeah, I'm gonna go Okay. I'll say, Okay, so, today's fat Friday, guys, I had the idea that Josh could look through the UberEATS app and find something that he really wants for himself. So it's his. It's what he wants. And then he has to send that to me. And then I do the same. I have to look through the app and find what I really want to eat, and then send that to Josh. So he's already got his food. Mine's on here. who passed by Okay, I'm very
happy. Thank you.
Yeah, happy Yeah. You say it already?
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's come in the bag. Funnily enough wouldn't disturb you to know that I've actually what you've ordered me I've had this way.
can I explain? Yeah, so
yeah, yeah, explain expired because I really feel like eating this right now. But
thanks, Tommy it says on the side. Enjoy the Berg's. give feedback. grilled.com de au forward slash feedback for what you've gotten me is the trio sliders, breed check. Classic Zen chick. Pepsi Max and
VCs jet. This is Jessica Lucas inspired producer Jess. It's her. She's the they call her the the the slider or they call the trio or they call it now that's a slot is she? This is her go to slider The trio of sliders from grilled cheese. I mean, never, never had it. I saw it. I thought, I want that. And I had to give what I wanted to use. So what do
you think that I've gotten? You
might say you're you're sort of more central to the cost of the city. There's more options. I feel there is only a handful of things you can get me in the suburb that, that I'm in Tulane, so most likely, it's a kebab, or a pizza, or
I reckon that's it. That's all
it is Aranda you could be really onto something how far off is actually I can tell you how far off you're. Hopefully nothing's happened. In the meantime, let's see. Just having a look at the Uber Eats app. I've actually used the business function. Oh no, like I put in the card out. It's the first order I've done on the business expense yet. I normally leave that to you. There's a whole section on UberEATS where you put in your business is that what is that what you do?
Well, I did say that and then you can assign other people to be able to use it. It seems. I mean, it's Yeah, it's so same it's pretty thought through
arrival for you within four minutes
are great. I just say, I mean, I've had I see it was one of these things where she's like I said, I can't wait to share this with Josh on the show. She said Don't you dare put on the show. And then then
you heard what he said with that Bray Yes.
That makes it and then she said that makes you want to do it more does it doesn't it when I when I say don't put on the show, but Yeah, it does. It definitely does. That one of the most infuriating This is silly, because it's such a basic question infuriating. Every time she's going outside. She says to me, well, what's the weather? Is it cold? Should I put on it? Should I put on a jumper I actually came to the conclusion that it's pretty safe that in wintertime, always go warm. Yeah, always go warm. It's not like summertime is like you can be looking outside it looks a bit and then you go out and spring the hot spring that safe to wear a jumper and then just put it hold it. And so there's just this infuriating commentary
going like, What? Why you going out? And then once I mean planning,
I'm at home and she's just going to do some shopping. It's always what's the wind? Is it cold outside? Is it cold enough for a jumper? I'm just wanting
to say, Look, I'll just tell you if it's hot.
That's a good one. That's a good one. That's the that's my relationship rule. I will inform you when the weather is too hot for a Jamba. And then that's when you so other than that, it's always a jumper that you'll be taking.
I mean, I need to be aware of is when you bring up stuff within your relationship. That's very low level. You are opening yourself up for feedback. I got some food and he had time. Yeah. Did you get a text message? unsolicited or always unsolicited? When am I ever asking people for their opinions in any sort of context? Right, so I got this from Ben Fordham at 8:37pm last night.
Right You got it you got breakfast radio in about three hours. What are you doing? I'm messaging Josh.
So Max and it's all it's all written out it like very sort of spread out to small Wow. by your own fucking coffee. Get up first. Get in the shower first by the fucking coffees, bro is not your mum or your personal assistant? If it means something to take control? Thanks, bro. bf
best friend or
ABC. I think it's I mean, I don't like being told what to do. So I didn't get the coffee this morning. Because I felt like I'd be doing it for band. If I'm gonna do it. For brain i
that is Ready is funny. I'm pumped for this food.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you how it's very hard to concentrate. Isn't that when you're
trying to decide you gotta when you get a delivery buddy just got a delivery from his grandparents. He was so excited up and he he got a he got a brand new transformer.
I actually brought you one of the slides breezy. Do you want to? I got sliders. Do you want to join it you can have you can have one of them. And just put the other two on the play that you pick the one that you want.
Oh, now that is a generous guy.
You know don't listen folks.
What what's what's the guy's giving out one of these sliders? And it's definitely I'm not doing this for optics. I was gonna do it anyway. I forgot we're recording.
Do you know I actually got it thinking because I am always considering I wouldn't Bri like, wants to eight yes to it's like a fun time for us.
And I thought you could have given one so I'm glad You didn't I didn't have to tell you. I hope to do as well. He takes one of the chicken ones to find out what to chicken
well, birdies favourite food at the moment. I don't know if it's a food. It's definitely not a food. Vitamin C tablets that tastes like orange. He's obsessed.
I mean the whole game doing that a bit like you're going in the vitamins Yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's always always good feeling a bit under the weather. But I gave it I crack off half and so he gets half a tab. But now I've realised that I can't go for a drive with him because sometimes I want him to go to sleep and we have to go for little Hoon around the suburb. I can't give him a vitamin C around the time that we go in the car where he might be sleeping. Because this week in the car, and I'm tired when you're trying to get a kid to sleep it's like usually coincides with you being really tired as well because you're like, aka when when this kid sleeps. I can just like put my chair back and just have Little have a little nap because you weren't sleeping a bed during the day sleeps it so you go into the
you go to a car park or something.
I have many nights I have been everywhere. On the Carfax lurking the guy
that got a fine because he was in his car. Do you hear about this? Yeah, yeah, yeah look there was a that he's housemate was having loud sex was that
was after curfew though. It was after curfew, okay. And so your gronk if you're out after curfew, it's just it's the rule don't leave the house after I whereas I'm dry like he might go into a petrol or I'm just, I'm heading out right. I'd be so surprised if they actually find you and you're like, Man, I've got a
good story. I feel like oh, yeah, like credit video on? Oh, definitely.
Definitely. And also, so body's trying to sleep and he doesn't, it's a bit sour for him to crunch up the vitamin C tablet. And so what he started doing is just Just looking at like a cat licking a Salt Lick. And so in the back, he's like he's falling asleep. And then he drops the vitamin C and wipes out. Where's and he's panicking, panicking where's my vitamin C gone, who's stolen it? grabs it. And then there was a few times where we actually dropped it down onto the ground. And I had to pull over and fight and get this thing. No more. No more. What about an
gobstopper?
Oh, remember those things have
been a bit you can still meet them if I got if I sent you guys one as a gift for Bodie. Would you let him have it?
Not not he'd become obsessed with it. It'd be like some sort of weed weed sort of tick of his he'd just have it in his pocket and just be pulling it out every five minutes. It's it's freaky. Did you have one as a kid? No. Yeah, we went to the I used to get them from the shops, smaller ones and then the big ones. I got too impatient with them. So I'd like to like write them open. And then like you get a different flavour and there's a bit of fees on the inside. I'm actually surprised Bodi is a he, he he holds stuff. Like he, um, he, he doesn't go, necessarily, I would think because he loves chocolate. He would just go like this is Duffy's face Do you like Heinz? No, he just he goes slower and he's say visit. I was really impressed
with vitamin C or is this actually chocolate because it was smashed their easter eggs?
Yeah, he was but they're a bit like a bigger piece of chocolate. Some deserve your orders and the last one. Is it is it. Alright, I'm gonna go check this Hang on. Sorry,
everyone what I've gotten him into McDonald's. I got him. nuggets, Big Mac and something else and some sources to come in. Listen, I hate

disappointed. No, no. I know. I'm happy. Because now there's a Big Mac in there. I'm not unhappy.
Well, the Big Mac was free.
Was it? Yeah, well, it can have the Big Mac. I'm happy though. I, I had the rule of not eating beef, meat. And so now this is good. So this is great, because it's actually what I would never go and buy. And so it's always nice when you get something to kind of describe what you buy. Alright, so I've got chicken mcnuggets 10 of them
wasn't 2010 Oh, hang on.
two packs of Tanja. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Got two of these. I got a Filipino fish very in theme with this way because when you show

We've got sweet and sour. Yeah, you standard stock standard and then what else is down here?
What's in this shaker fries. Oh,

Oh, here we go. Okay, so I've shaken up the shake of fries. And I've got
oh well do they taste different,
hates different
So it's giving them a full flavour. Like Mac OS chips are just salty. Now these are like
actually adding a flavour to it. So shaker fries. When did they like I wonder if you can just buy because I saw I nearly got this for you but I thought it would have been annoying. You can buy milk and bread from Mac is now should have got me so I really got you like groceries from MCAS but I thought you would have been pissed off. Do you
know in the back of my head today because I haven't eaten meat from like I said for a couple of years. Meat being beef. I literally like I mean I just get lucky because I want to burgers today. So you nailed it. Even I and I was like maybe I'll just get like a duty Big Mac or something
like that. Well you have the Big Mac
I spent a while on it. Yeah, I think have it because so you're having the the fellow a fish relay a fish
if Philae fillet o fish. It's been Yes or No in a minute. Yes. Yeah, I can feel I Oh fish now so they put a lot of Tata sauce
a lot. That's good,
huh? Happy?
Yeah, I'm happy and it's actually Amy's favourite Boga. Really?
Is it fishy?
It definitely tastes like fish.
Yeah, like a big finger. A fish finger. We big fish. I thought that bit better. Okay.
Yeah, we had them we had them.
Amy was a big fish finger kid. Is it a rectangle?
Is it because I think I remember when I worked at Mac is they were like small rectangular.
It's at the bottom and it's, it's complete. It's just like a it's completely melted. Okay, and so I couldn't tell you what shade Okay, that's fine.
All right. I'm sorry. You're gonna have your Big Mac then. Yeah. Okay. I feel like this is one of the whole cases of mine. Now you got me a Big Mac? And then I was like, No, no, no, no, no. So you don't have to know.
I didn't say it. I've got willpower, but off the alcohol
you have a certain amount of willpower.
You reckon?
Yeah. Drink any there was really so there was, um, it's a thing called ego depletion. So look it up, we will have a bucket of willpower. And there's only certain, a certain amount like it's not endless amount. So if you decide, I'm going to eat well, that uses up a bit of your willpower. Then if you decide, okay, I'm going to get up at 6am that uses some more and you can get to a point where there's no willpower left. And that's ego depletion. And if you get to that stage, you start doing shit that you just want to do. So let's say our fact that I'm gonna eat the Big Mac because you've got no none left in your bucket.
Why ego depletion egos driving your what's, what's the ego drive? Yeah, it's
interesting. I'll tell you. So, ego depletion theory. I think I read this in I think Dan Ariely, the organisational psychologist spoke about it, he goes to publish it, this is on Wikipedia. ego depletion refers to the idea that self control or willpower draws upon a limited pool of mental resources that can be used up with the word ego used in a psychological sense rather than the colloquial sense. When the energy for a mental activity is low. self control typically is impaired, which would be considered a state of ego depletion.
So, okay, so it's almost like it's more of a you when you're vulnerable, when you're really tired. You've had a huge day. And so if you're relying on your, your will like that willpower or that holding off It can be affected by the times that you are tired or it's all a bit too much, which is where the non negotiable thing I guess, becomes a powerful thing. So you're not relying on power, or you know, self control because it's a, I don't do that.
Well, this is the whole thing. So this is the thing so the word gets uses it when it comes to food and things like that. So if you if you don't want if you want to lose weight, or if you want to control your calories, if you if you want to avoid ego depletion, one of the senses is you. It's like a language change. So normally, when people are at a party, and they're on a diet and they they're serving cake, there's two different ways that you can say it and the like decline the cake and depending on how you say it will depend on whether it will potentially use some of your willpower or not. So the first version you I can't have that. Or I'm not allowed. I'm not allowed that. And so if you do that, that is using I think more willpower because you are potentially wanting it. Whereas if you change the language to I don't want that. No, no thanks. I don't want any that then is way more powerful because you're actually not entering into that. The bucket of willpower.
Yeah, yeah, I get it because then when you like, Oh, I miss it. I wish I could have it. And then you're saying no, then you you feel the pain in that? Because you're longing for it to that moment? It's um, Amy's getting stuck rod into that Phillip Oh, fish. Really? And you said I fucking love you happy Abigail in this. This is good. For me the drinking stuff. It's like having such a clean No, in my head. Doesn't I don't feel like I'm requiring any women. Power. I don't need anything.
Exactly. I think that's because you've reconciled that this is a choice that you want to make. It's not happening to you. Yeah, you were choosing. And that's where like, if you work somewhere, you have way more likely, like there's a higher likelihood to succeed if you're at a workplace. And you say, this isn't perfect for me right now. But I'm working here, because I'm going to, I'm making money to be able to go on to the next thing or because I'm doing this or that, versus if you say, if I can hate my job, I don't want to be here, but I have to be here. All of a sudden, you're, you're entering into a space where you're a bit of out of control, and you're going to have to enter into your willpower and then all of a sudden, if you're using your willpower for that, then all of a sudden when a Big Mac comes in front of you like it has now Yeah, I mean it's too late it and so, I mean, you can you can actually say that, like how many times have you in the last lecture. I can relate to this anyway. It's like, you give yourself a break how many times you like I forgot to give myself a break. Like, fact I've worked out all day. I'm just going to order food. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. And I think the reason is, is because if you're in Victoria right now, we're having to enter into willpower because we are not deciding to be stuck at home right now. And so I think that that's why for me, I was very keen in the early days to be like, we're making the choice of moving early, as a way of it not feeling as though it was being forced upon us or it was it just that it was a decision that was made by us, if it's a decision made by us ownership, and all of that sort of stuff is at a higher level. Yeah, anyway, big man. Yeah.
I mean, I, I could I put my sort of blinkers on it helps for certain things. And I think about how it can be destructive to be Sort of single focus, like if you are sort of that rigid rule, and then what kind of energy that brings. And the actual one requires some level of trade off about being so just like, No, that's not what I do at this moment, has a whole bunch of ricochet effect. But then there's, it's like weighing up. So this is like some negatives in that sort of really sort of strict thinking about how I don't do it. And that's, you know, but then on the other side is a higher benefit or higher reward than any of the little negatives that come out of having a really focused mindset. And so, I mean, look at athletes, it's like, some of them is so like, what it requires to achieve whatever they're doing training and not doing all the things you see how it's like, it can be really disruptive when they come at the other side because it's, it falls apart because they were able to achieve in a certain area and have all this sort of strict rules around behaviour, and then when you release it, what happens there it's like
well all of a sudden you have choice encountered and so what happens with so you deciding not to drink all of a sudden, you don't have to necessarily use the willpower like you had to before so if it was, if you had the option of I have a balanced diet and I drink whenever and it's like, I'm just it's all about balance, you're potentially having to use that willpower. There's a great there's an old you know
what it avoids though it sorry just to say it of what you avoid. So for me that that approach of I'll just do it sort of you know, every now and then blah, blah, blah, not nothing specific. It's just, I end up might drink fucking five days in a row and then have three weeks off and then whatever it be once a week for multiple weeks. Whatever happens is the the feelings about it myself. And so then it's like, how you are looking at yourself. And that's that self talk of like, are you piece of shit, you haven't done this right? Or you're not, you know, that's where the pain can come from. Whereas the strict No, allow it, like you're not entering into those feelings. And so it definitely works for some, it's just about, is it consistent? Can you keep it consistent for the rest of your life or for a long period of time?
But then there's, I think it's a TED talk, the Paradox of Choice. View, if you watch that, Now, remember, the guy's got really good jeans on He's like, old school, sort of, what kind of do you think, you know, they like,
like a lot. So BJ,
yeah, they'll call jeans. But there's, it's what year 2006. So it's 14 years old. But um, the Paradox of Choice. It's even a book. The theory is rather than just writing out I'll just tell you what I remember but it's just the whole thing. of why Is it that we have Netflix, Stan, and all of this all these different fucking streaming services, yet? We can't work out what fucking movie to watch. And so I think that this plays into it as well where it's like more choice doesn't mean that life's easier. Like it actually gets harder. That's why it's great like In and Out Burger is freaking awesome because it's like you've got only a few things on the menu. And that's where, from Apple's perspective, in the 90s, Apple had so many different products and they were failing. And when Steve Jobs came back, it was all about simplifying it was giving consumers less rather than more choice, which I think is something that gets gets lost because you just want to add so much more. And we
are Yeah, it was. It's like an illusion. That multiple options gives you you feel good confident, I've got lots of sort of got lots to choose from.
So I fit you know, it's like, you can only do it on
you, but then that is a thing. So that's the paradox. I love having lots to choose from any like, Fuck, I can even choose one. It definitely happens. Yeah, so often. Yeah. And so and I just like I always land on watching the world's toughest prisons, let's be honest, it's whatever. And it's like, when you like, you know, there's choices that you make when it's like you fed up with everything else. And so you've given up at that point, and you're watching something just because it's, it's there. You don't you don't care for it. And you're like, whatever. I found that the other night and I was watching world's toughest prisons. And it was like season three or something in this host. He was awesome. And he was like, I was like, is this guy tough motherfucker or what? Like, I can't tell. He goes in and stays in the prison for five days. And he's you know, he's in like South America or is in this is where there was the German one German Yeah. Yeah, the German German where they've got stuck in everything. It's it's a kingdom. No, no,
I have but I have the class are destroying the Christian
but I was looking this guy up and let me find him. He served 12 years in prison and he was talking because I thought he was just like, you know a bit of a poser would be like me in there doing presenting is like someone's like this guy. Anyway he did 12 years in prison and he was wrongfully convicted. He never committed a crime.
That's fun.
Isn't that horrible? Yeah, it's not ideal.
Yeah, my goal at the moment with that like just having a fallback is shits Creek. shits Creek. Yep. You've mentioned that right? Yeah. So brain is like, so easy. When you have a show that you can watch. Then we go for like 20 minutes. So you can like punch out to when it's no problem, but just having the at the end The day we know what we're watching. Yes. is so much easier.
Yeah, I think so this guy, his name, I think is Rafael row Rafale row. And in prison he learned journalism. That's cool. Yeah. He studied journalism and coming out the other side. Now, Lanza TV, I mean, imagine those lives where you're just like, you know, in people, people that just have gone through, you know, high school got a job, you know, had a pretty easy just, you know, life, you know, it's meant to be where it's meant to be. It's like, very easy to say that. But when you have something very tough, like being sent to prison, when you didn't do the crime, oh, and then your life actually turns out well on the other side, or you get it back on the straight and narrow, and then you you know, it's a serving. It's a serving belief to think this all happened for a reason. I am here because of x, y and Zed and if it didn't, you know the lessons I learned from those Tough times.
I mean, what else? What else have we got to really pull on?
Well, yeah, everyone's got their own unique story. Ray Mooney, who was my old screenwriting lecturer. He, he was the first Australian prisoner to get his degree in prison.
Wow. And that was pentridge Prison wasn't
Yeah, it was at age division there. But it was just interesting. Like he he started off writing plays and then films and yes, it's it's interesting because I remember he's such a Yeah, he was he had such an impact in regards to how he taught he was such a he's such a great teacher. Yeah, and yeah, it's it's it's interesting to think about things like I think that people go into what did you like, what did you do or what the whole thing it's, it's interesting with a lot of people who have those experiences you don't feel You don't necessarily feel comfortable doing Big Mac is that what that sound is? Sorry, this is a nugget. Okay. Would it really shiny?
Yeah, I think he had an interesting perspective. Like, yeah, yeah.
So interesting. I think that like he, he he's written some interesting books on, on, on sort of the topics of things that he's learned whilst beat like so where he's become friends with inmates and then sort of learned about different things. Yeah, yeah, I just remember like, because I was younger, like I was 21 when I found out like, it was in fact in prison. It's just like, it's that whole two weird thing like the first time like, do you have you? Have you ever become friends with someone then found out that they've had some crazy pass?
No, I think it's I think it's the Curiosity around someone that may have a disability be in a wheelchair, you know, could have had an accident and it's the Curiosity around how it happened. You know, because I think everyone's thinking Thinking in them about themselves at that point, it's like, wow, like you're looking at your own life thinking about if you went to prison or if you had were in a car accident, all these things, and I've had friends that have been all in all of those situations prison, paraplegics, you know, it's it's all of that suicide What happened? You know, you just it's instantly taken to the place. But um, I mean, we've had MC hole on the show who served quite a long time in prison and now he's, you know, helping people. kick kick the habit kicking drug addiction within reason. Yeah, rehab facility de hab. And I mean, that's where it's like, it would feel like a new existence, it would feel like you've had two lions, right. A lot of these people like that have been in prison have had a belief system to survive those places. And then if they're coming out, they're needing to climatized to a whole new Not just environment, but internal environment, but how to live in this world. And so it's a unique perspective that you can't get without the without having that experience. So there's definitely something different about the people who have been through it.
Have you had friends that have gone to juvie that were able to come out on the other side? a better person because I know what I was reading, but I I was reading something the other day around. Maybe the book, the listening society, but we're talking about how juvie basically just fucks with it, like it's actually not Yeah, it doesn't serve like there needs to be some sort of intervention that happens at a young age, but it needs to be around education or trying to work out a purpose for the for these individuals rather than putting them into a system that where everyone's committing crime and that's a weird Yeah, it's sort of becomes a systemic thing.
Ah, My friend would call me most nights from juvenile and he'd and so he call so what the way I do it was because he can't call
numbers I can serial
da yeah but so what he did his mom would call me and then bring me in on the three way and then we would just chat and so we were connected and then we'd be chatting but he definitely the what I heard from him about that environment. Imagine being at a school camp. I don't know if you've had the experience with like the boys, which is probably the most negative part of having the boys where you feel like this stack someone it's like, you don't feel safe you feel like on Yeah, it is like if I can, things are getting thrown you're all staying in one room. You know, I had a bottle, a two litre bottle of water thrown in the dark and it fucking hit me on the dick and my balls went up into my chest. And it's just like, I just remember that feeling of I'm you're not safe in this moment. He that What you're on edge in those places? I don't think there's it. I don't think you can just think you're at home. You don't. And so I think he had something to do with a banana and now some guys were fucking with him and like these young young kids, but they're nasty as fuck a lot of them that's why they're in there. They're not in there because they're just good, good little kids. They're in there because they
feel what's the solution? Do you think?
I don't know. I mean,
it could be something around real world examples with so real world life life lessons I don't know there could be some kind of system that takes young kids and partners them with adults that you know, know a thing or two have been through similar experience experiences and come out the other side role models, but this is the thing we're not we're trying to solve the judiciary was it called the judicial system of the fuckin
like That sounds
like it's even broader than that. Right? It's the Yeah. Where does forgiveness? Where does environment versus like, if I can genetics, like where does that all sort of fit? Like, are there people that are born that are just fucking
tweakers? It's mental health. And so I mentioned to MC Hall who was in prison for many years, it said in some of the hottest prisons in Australia, I said, I, you know, it's for they're trying to reform you and he laughed at that point. Like, they're not they they're locking people up, they don't want to, maybe there's a small case of people coming out really reformed and more educated than when that went in more empathetic and more like whatever. But I think there is the other side where it's like, they're locked up your caging you caging humans. Yeah. And this is without looking at what they've done because there's many that fucking deserve to be locked away and there's not much coming back. For a lot of them, but
it's a look at their life experience and how fucked up things that they may have experienced. And then,
yeah, I mean, this
world cyclical, probably world's toughest prisons is a version of looking at what the system looks like in different countries. And so South America, this one, there was it's a full hierarchy, like, there is a market stall within the prison where people are running businesses. And this one guy was running a business that was making more money on the inside than what he was making on the outside as a drug dealer. And so he lost his house. And now he was the kingpin in this space without being like a when you say kingpin is not like some killer, he was just like a guy that ran his area and literally become a business person and had bought a house since being in there for his family on the outside like, it's it's fascinating. It's worth watching because then you jump over to Germany. It's a different thing. And he jumped over to Asia and it's like, fuck me.
And if you see some of the things that's like, oh man, so entrepreneurial if they could just move it to something that wasn't illegal, they would actually do really well.
Right. I knew a lot of drug dealers when I was young. Could be like for what they were selling. They were good operators good product. Yeah, you know, you know, it's supply and demand. I tell you, bro,
can you? Can you wait the Big Mac?
I've Yeah, I've already been eating it. I've already gone through it. Yeah, it's good.
It's great. Man, Mike Big Mac bite. Yeah. Huh.
Tastes like a Big Mac. It's good.
And on that note, I'm gonna go I didn't want to eat on camera. I had a few but I've got shit in my teeth. It's annoying the heck out of me. I need some floss. Well, I'm gonna go watch world's toughest prisons. Perfect. You know, I'm gonna go watch. It's great. It's a dialogue. Talk Show if you haven't yet. Tony lodge the legend she has her own podcast.

Gresham: Jones resigns as provost, to leave for MNU at end of year
Dr. Mary Jones has resigned as provost effective at the end of the school year, according to President Loren Gresham. (Photo from snu.edu)
By Brad Crofford, Editor-in-chief
Dr. Mary Jones has resigned as the university's provost, according to President Loren Gresham in an email to faculty provided to The Echo.
Jones will serve through the remainder of this academic year before beginning as provost at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kan.
Jones arrived at SNU as a marketing professor in 2006 and began serving as provost in 2008. Prior to her time at SNU, she had served as the Chief Academic Officer at Africa Nazarene University in Nairobi, Kenya from 2001-2006 and had taught business at MNU before that.
"She has worked tirelessly through the challenges of HLC reaccreditation, stresses brought on by the economic recession, the retirement, resignation and/or replacement of valuable faculty colleagues, and many other items of service," Gresham said.
Gresham said that the Kansas City area, where MNU is located, has been Jones' lifelong home, and "she still has family there to whom she will be available."
"Dr. Jones is a generous and gracious lady who has dedicated her life to Christ and to His causes. She has established many friends at SNU among faculty and staff. She will be missed," Gresham said.
Plans for filling Jones' position are still in development as Gresham was informed on Friday, Feb. 15, of the vote by MNU's trustees.

Tim is the eco-expert for Homebuilding and Renovating magazine, regularly contributes to a number of other magazines, and regularly presents seminars and master classes on ecological house building and renewable energy. Tim's first book Simply Sustainable was published in Spring 2008. In 2011, Tim's second book The Sustainable Building Bible was published.
Tim's career started in 1969 as a carpenter's apprentice and he moved quickly up the hierarchy to site manager working on housing and commercial projects in London and the Home Counties. Tim's interest in renewable energy and sustainability started in 1975; this was inspired by visits to the Festival Hall heat pump and the Edmonton heat-from-waste projects. This initial burst of enthusiasm lead to converting his own coast house in Kent.
A career shift gave him a 10 year spell as a management consultant helping clients, including building companies, estate agents and property developers to achieve best practice standards. He moved to a small-holding in Wales in 2000 where he became involved in property development. This was another opportunity to further explore sustainable development.

The end of 2008 is quickly arriving, but it is not too late to donate monies to the school of your choice through the Arizona State Tax Credit program. A tax credit donation to the school of your choice will reduce your 2008 income tax owed to the state of Arizona, dollar for dollar. The donation will cost you nothing since your donation will be returned to you when you file your state income tax return next year.
Those wishing to donate are not required to have children. Anyone with or without children, married or single, is eligible to take advantage of this tax credit. The $400 maximum state tax credit is available for taxpayers that are married and filing jointly. A husband and wife that file separate returns for a taxable year in which they could have filed a joint return may each claim $200. For a single individual or a head of household, the tax credit is $200. You may donate less than $400 and still be eligible to receive the state tax credit in the amount of your donation.
We recommend donating to the tax credit program. It's a win-win for all and it's a great way to help students. To qualify for 2008, donations must be postmarked no later than Dec. 31. Four school districts - Ash Fork, Grand Canyon, Maine Consolidated and Williams - are located in our immediate area. For more information on any of these school districts, contact the Ash Fork School District at (928) 637-2561, Grand Canyon School District at (928) 638-2461, Maine Consolidated School District at (928) 635-2115 or the Williams School District at (928) 635-4473.
