Miles Teller and Justin Chon star in this comedy written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, screenwriters of 'The Hangover'. The night before the medical school interview that will determine his entire future, a promising college student is dragged out by his two oldest friends to celebrate his 21st birthday. But as one beer leads inevitably to another, the evening spirals into a grand misadventure of mayhem and debauchery that will have far-reaching effects for the whole trio.
Double bill of comedies from director Todd Phillips. In 'The
Hangover' (2009) Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis
star as three friends who lose their best friend, Doug (Justin
Bartha), just 40 hours before his wedding during the various
drunken misadventures that occur at his Las Vegas bachelor party.
The trio must attempt to retrace all the bad decisions they made
the night before and figure out where things went wrong. Heather
Graham co-stars. In the sequel, 'The Hangover: Part 2' (2011), Alan
(Galifianakis), Doug (Bartha), Phil (Cooper) and Stu (Helms) jet
out to Bangkok for Stu's wedding to his Thai girlfriend (Jamie
Chung). With the mortifying memories of Doug's bachelor party in
Las Vegas forever etched in everyone's minds, Stu decides to play
things safe. Surely nothing can go wrong with a sedate pre-wedding
brunch... or can it? The supporting cast includes Liam Neeson and
Juliette Lewis, while former president Bill Clinton makes a cameo
appearance.

Michael Scott Moore, a journalist and the author of Sweetness and
Blood, incorporates personal narrative and rigorous investigative
journalism in this profound and revelatory memoir of his three-year
captivity by Somali pirates-a riveting,thoughtful, and emotionally
resonant exploration of foreign policy, religious extremism, and
the costs of survival. In January 2012, having covered a Somali
pirate trial in Hamburg for Spiegel Online International-and funded
by a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting-Michael
Scott Moore traveled to the Horn of Africa to write about piracy
and ways to end it. In a terrible twist of fate, Moore himself was
kidnapped and subsequently held captive by Somali pirates.
Subjected to conditions that break even the strongest
spirits-physical injury, starvation, isolation, terror-Moore's
survival is a testament to his indomitable strength of mind. In
September 2014, after 977 days, he walked free when his ransom was
put together by the help of several US and German institutions,
friends, colleagues, and his strong-willed mother. Yet Moore's own
struggle is only part of the story: The Desert and the Sea falls at
the intersection of reportage, memoir, and history. Caught between
Muslim pirates, the looming threat of Al-Shabaab, and the rise of
ISIS, Moore observes the worlds that surrounded him-the economics
and history of piracy; the effects of post-colonialism; the
politics of hostage negotiation and ransom; while also conjuring
the various faces of Islam-and places his ordeal in the context of
the larger political and historical issues. A sort of Catch-22
meets Black Hawk Down, The Desert and the Sea is written with dark
humor, candor, and a journalist's clinical distance and eye for
detail. Moore offers an intimate and otherwise inaccessible view of
life as we cannot fathom it, brilliantly weaving his own experience
as a hostage with the social, economic, religious, and political
factors creating it. The Desert and the Sea is wildly compelling
and a book that will take its place next to titles like Den of
Lions and Even Silence Has an End.

The 21st century will witness the collision of two powerful forces
- burgeoning population growth, together with a changing climate.
With population growth, water scarcity will proliferate to new
areas across the globe. And with climate change, rainfall will
become more fickle, with longer and deeper periods of droughts and
deluges. This report presents new evidence to advance understanding
on how rainfall shocks coupled with water scarcity, impacts farms,
firms, and families. On farms, the largest consumers of water in
the world, impacts are channeled from declining yields to changing
landscapes. In cities, water extremes especially when combined with
unreliable infrastructure can stall firm production, sales, and
revenue. At the center of this are families, who feel the impacts
of this uncertainty on their incomes, jobs, and long-term health
and welfare. Although a rainfall shock may be fleeting, its
consequences can become permanent and shape the destiny of those
who experience it. Pursuing business as usual will lead many
countries down a 'parched path' where droughts shape destinies.
Avoiding this misery in slow motion will call for fundamental
changes to water policy around the globe. Building resilience to
rainfall variability will require using different policy
instruments to address the multifaceted nature of water. A key
message of this report is that water has multiple economic
attributes, each of which entail distinct policy responses. If
water is not managed more prudently--from source, to tap, and back
to source--the crises observed today will become the catastrophes
of tomorrow.
A companion volume to "Rural Revival: Growing Churches in Shrinking
Communities," this book is designed to help you, the rural pastor,
improve your prayer life and your preaching, grow your church, and
deal with the day-to-day opportunities and problems that you will
ultimately face.
