  DARE to Say No - Policing and...

  With its signature "DARE to keep kids off drugs" slogan and iconic t-shirts, DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) was the most popular drug education program of the 1980s and 1990s. But behind the cultural phenomenon is the story of how DARE and other antidrug education programs brought the War on Drugs into schools and ensured that the velvet glove of antidrug education would be backed by the iron fist of rigorous policing and harsh sentencing. 
   
   
   
  Max Felker-Kantor has assembled the first history of DARE, which began in Los Angeles in 1983 as a joint venture between the police department and the unified school district. By the mid-'90s, it was taught in seventy-five percent of school districts across the United States. DARE received near-universal praise from parents, educators, police officers, and politicians and left an indelible stamp on many millennial memories. But the program had more nefarious ends, and Felker-Kantor complicates simplistic narratives of the War on Drugs. He shows how policing entered US schools and framed drug use as the result of personal responsibility, moral failure, and poor behavior deserving of punishment rather than something deeply rooted in state retrenchment, the abandonment of social service provisions, and structures of social and economic inequality.

  Gabrielle O’Donovan, award-winning organisational culture and change expert and author, shares her powerful memoir - Gino’s Contraband: Guilty Until Proven Innocent (The Change Press, 2025). This gripping adaptation of the award-winning print book recounts the wrongful assumption of the UK tax authority - His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) - that Gabrielle was responsible for a shipment of over a quarter of a million contraband cigarettes and related charges, and her challenging fight to reclaim her identity and dignity and clear her good name. 
  With compelling narration, the book immerses listeners in O'Donovan’s emotional journey - from bureaucratic horror where she is presumed guilty, to resolute advocacy. As she traces her experience - alongside that of her suicidal friend who is caught up in the broader Loan Charge Scandal affecting tens of thousands - the intertwined stories of these two friends become a vital testimony for democratic accountability, mental health resilience, and the need for a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. The book ends with a chapter of recommendations for institutional reform at HMRC. 
  Vital for political watchdogs, legal reform advocates, tax specialists and memoir listeners seeking emotional truth.

  We'll discuss many highly-effective negotiation tactics that enable you to get the best possible deal for yourself while also building a strong and trusting working relationship with the other party. You'll secure yourself a number of happy long-term business partners. 
  While some negotiation tactics use strength, the most effective tactics use intelligence, strategy, and finesse.

  To accomplish the objectives above, you'll learn negotiation tactics that combine timeless relationship building skills, scientifically proven principles of influence and persuasion, and the best strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu - the classic 2,000-year-old Chinese military strategy book. You'll ensure the other party feels they've been treated fairly and obtained a great outcome, even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. 
  The truth is, all that's necessary to get the results you want is for you to do a few basic fundamentals really well. Doing the basic fundamentals really well is always the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get excellent results. Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant.

  THE O.C. 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The O.C. is an American teen drama created by Josh Schwartz, which aired on Fox from 2003 to 2007. The series follows Ryan Atwood, a troubled teen, who is adopted by the wealthy Cohen family. The show explores themes of social class, relationships, and identity in the high-class world of Newport Beach. The O.C. was a pop cultural phenomenon during its first season. The show was known for its music, which featured indie rock and guest performances. Ratings declined after the first season leading to its cancellation in 2007. The series had a mix of melodrama and comedy and utilized meta-fictional humor. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The show's title, "O.C.", is an initialism for Orange County, the Southern California location where the series is set. Despite the show being set in Newport Beach, California, much of the filming took place in the Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles County region due to financial penalties for filming outside the studio zone.  
    
  The show was created by Josh Schwartz, who drew inspiration from his own experiences as a "Jewish kid from the East Coast" attending the University of Southern California, where he felt like an outsider among the wealthy students from Newport Beach. He also stated that the dynamic between the characters of Sandy and Seth Cohen was very much based on his relationship with his own father.
