Patricia Evangelista's "journalistic masterpiece" is a detailed account of the Philippines' state-sanctioned killings of its citizens. The book, which was published by The New Yorker, is a deeply humane chronicle of the country's drug war. Evangelista, who came of age after a street revolution, documented the killings carried out by police and vigilantes under President Rodrigo Duterte's regime. The book captures the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides to prioritize certain lives over others. It also delves into the grammar of violence and human impulses to dominate and resist.

Organizational Betrayal - How...

Charol Shakeshaft

In Organizational Betrayal, educational researcher Charol Shakeshaft advocates a system-wide approach for safeguarding K–12 students against educator sexual misconduct. 
 
 
 
Based on decades of inquiry into cases of student abuse in educational systems, the work reveals that sexual abuse of children in US K–12 schools is more prevalent than we'd like to believe. Examining the root causes and contexts, Shakeshaft concludes that school cultures and institutional structures are often complicit in cases of sexual misconduct. 
 
 
 
Shakeshaft suggests straightforward actions that can interrupt patterns of abuse and trauma, including teaching both potential bystanders and potential victims of school employee sexual misconduct the policies regulating adult–student interactions in schools; training all members of a school community to recognize red flags and boundary crossing; and investigating the difference between good teaching and questionable tactics that should trigger suspicion. 
 
 
 
The documentation provided in this book is persuasive, and it compels examination of school cultures, decisions, and practices, with a goal of preventing the abuse of students by school employees.

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

The series premiered on August 11, 1991, and ran for 9 seasons, totaling 172 episodes. It is Nickelodeon’s third-longest-running animated series, behind SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents. The series is also notable for depicting observant Jewish families. Rugrats received numerous awards, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A reboot of the series premiered on Paramount+ in 2021.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The series Rugrats was created by the then-husband-and-wife duo of Gábor Csupó and Arlene Klasky, along with Paul Germain. The trio were also animating The Simpsons at the time and decided to create their own series after Nickelodeon announced that they were launching their own line of animated series.
The original pilot episode of Rugrats, titled "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing," was never actually aired. This pilot was eventually released on DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment in 2001.
The character of Angelica was based on a bully from Paul Germain’s childhood. Although Klasky initially disliked the character of Angelica, she eventually came to appreciate her role in the show.
