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.
An exploration of high-profile women, contemporary and historical,
real and fictional, who commit violence against men, this book was
originally inspired by the Bobbitt case and reactions to it. In
essays on Lindy Chamberlain (the "dingo baby" case), Myra Hindley,
Winnie Mandela, Lorena Bobbitt, Rosemary West, Ruth Ellis and "the
Brookside Two", among others, the contributors tease out the
blurred boundaries between myth and reality which always surround
violent women and attempt to demolish the old either/or
explanations of powerless victim or evil demon.
Lorca, icon and polymath in all his manifestations. A Companion to
Federico Garcia Lorca provides a clear, critical appraisal of the
issues and debates surrounding the work of Spain's most celebrated
poet and dramatist. It considers past and current approaches to the
study of Lorca, and also suggests new directions for further
investigation. An introduction on the often contentious subject of
Lorca's biography is followed by five chapters - poetry, theatre,
music, drawing and cinema - which togetheracknowledge the polymath
in Lorca. A further three chapters - religion, gender and
sexuality, and politics - complete the volume by covering important
thematic concerns across a number of texts, concerns which must be
considered in the context of the iconic status that Lorca has
acquired and against the background of the cultural shifts
affecting his readership. The Companion is a testament to Lorca's
enduring appeal and, through its explication oftexts and
investigation of the man, demonstrates just why he continues, and
should continue, to attract scholarly interest. FEDERICO BONADDIO
lectures in Modern Spanish Studies at King's College London.

This book offers a comprehensive framework for the study of moral
panics. It provides an up-to-date overview of the history and
development of the concept of panic, and discusses the key
criticisms and debates that have stemmed from its use over the last
four decades. While investigating the critical connections between
crime reporting and panic development, Wright Monod also highlights
the overall importance of social context, and social theory, for
understanding episodes of moral panic. Two case studies - one on
murdering teens, and the other on gangs and guns - are explored to
demonstrate the efficacy of the framework, and five research phases
for panic study are extensively analysed. Drawing on the nature of
sensationalist media coverage, and considering the impact of new
media ecosystems in panic development, this innovative study
considers the shape of the field of moral panic scholarship today
and, crucially, the directions in which its study is heading. This
is an informed and original book which will appeal to scholars of
risk, deviance, and criminal justice.
This accessible guide explores how our brains react to stress and
offers a fresh perspective on how we define "trauma." Probing how
the words we use can influence our understanding of distress, this
text focuses on expanding awareness of excess stress and reducing
judgment of its potential impact on relationships and day-to-day
life. Helpfully split into three parts, the book introduces the
terms "cortisprinkled," "cortisaturated," and "cortisoaked" and
provides a rationale for why these states of brain occur. The role
of culture and society are highlighted, and an in-depth focus on
coping and offering support to others is presented. Whether caused
by sexual assault, social rejection, abuse, the taboo of sexuality,
disadvantaged status, or other difficulties, chapters detail
specific coping skills and step-by-step strategies to deal with a
variety of stress responses. Advice is offered on reconnecting with
sexuality, phrasing difficult questions, and ways to offer
validation, with concrete recommendations on incorporating
healthier practices into everyday life. Both metaphor and
real-world vignettes are interwoven throughout, making Redefining
Trauma an essential and understandable resource for therapists and
their clients, parents and support givers, and anyone looking to
develop practical, informed methods for dealing with stress and
trauma and reclaim life with intention.

In this, the first full-length treatment of the child in Spanish
cinema, Sarah Wright explores the ways that the cinematic child
comes to represent 'prosthetic memory'. The central theme of the
child and the monster is used to examine the relationship of the
self to the past, and to cinema. Focusing on the films from the
1950s to the present day, the book explores religious films,
musicals, 'art-house horror', science fiction, social realism and
fantasy in Spanish film and includes reference to Erice's The
Spirit of The Beehive, del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth, Manas's El Bola
and the Marisol films. The book draws on a century of filmmaking in
Spain and also intersects with recent revelations concerning the
horrors of the Spanish past. The child is a potent motif for the
loss of historical memory and for its recuperation through cinema.
This book is suitable for scholars and undergraduates working in
the area of Spanish cinema, Spanish cultural studies, and cinema
studies.
DIGNITY is a transformative set of ideas to help individuals and
communities identify and address barriers to authenticity. The
author was inspired by a question in the Episcopal Baptismal
covenant: Will you strive to respect the dignity of every human
being? DIGNITY is seven actionable tenets (diversity, identity,
growth, nurture, integrity, transparency, and yield) with which we
can identify our purpose, articulate our aspirations, and equip
ourselves and others for both the opportunities and challenges of
honoring this covenant. They are prompts to be reflective about who
we are and what we value. This practical guide will help the
spiritual community bridge the gap between where we are, and where
we want to be. For we know that "you can develop a healthy and
robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results
only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other,
treating each other with dignity and honor" (James 3:17).
Love yourself by telling your story. Our stories anchor us as we
experience the vicissitudes of life. They strengthen us, inspire
us, and encourage us as we grow older. This book offers Jesus'
story as a real-life mirror to our own stories, ultimately making
God's story, our story, and our story, God's story. From Begotten,
to Suffering Death, to Glory, and the Life of the World to Come,
the author uses spiritual reflections, poetry, and the Nicene Creed
to give new meaning to real-life circumstances of identity, pain,
family life, dealing with depression, and ultimate healing.
Becoming Who I Am encourages us to embrace and tell our whole
stories and to discover our divine capacity for true life
transformation and joy.
An important contribution to the understanding of the theatrical
output of major figure of Spanish literary canon. Drawing on
anthropology, psychoanalysis, and literary theory, this book uses
the image of the trickster to argue for a fresh and original
reading of Garcia Lorca's plays, highlighting androgyny, male
fantasy, masochism, masqueradeand the carnivalesque. The study
includes detailed textual analyses of Amor de Don Perlimplin con
Belisa en su jardin, Asi que pasan cinco anos and El publico, as
well as extensive examination of La zapatera prodigiosa and Bodas
de sangre; in addition it makes reference to the lesser known El
sueno de la vida, Retablillo de Don Cristobal, Dragon and El loco y
la loca, together with a relevant selection of Garcia Lorca's
drawings and prose. Dr SARAH WRIGHT lectures in Hispanic Studies at
the University of Hull.
This book addresses the power of stigmas surrounding depression. It
breaks down their power and builds hope for those who may be
struggling with depression to recognize the symptoms, respond to
them by seeking help and to ultimately get relief from this
illness. Based on her own journey with depression, Dr. Wright uses
humor, faith and a practical sensibility to turn 10 common stigmas
on their heads and to educate and encourage people to feel safe and
courageous when facing depression.
Me? Depressed?: A Story of Depression from Denial to Discovery is
an uplifting, inspirational story of hope and healing through
depression. In her own words, this well-educated, professional
thirty-something wife and mother, describes her journey of an
unexpected diagnosis of depression from complete denial to her
discovery that depression does not discriminate, is not "her"
fault, needs to be openly and honestly discussed and there is
always hope.
There was a time that the idea of me writing this page in a book
which I had authored would have been inconceivable. Then again, I
never imagined that at forty-five I would be a widow. But, as this
life would have it, here I am. Most importantly, I didn't know that
losing someone so special in my life would lead me closer to God.
But, praise the Lord, it did. Let me begin by thanking God for
being my life-line and for being faithful to me and my children in
this process. God's goodness and faithfulness brought me out of
darkness and into His marvelous light. To my Friday morning bible
study ladies, I couldn't have done it without you. The time it took
to go through this journey was incredibly healing and filled with
laughter, tears and the true joy of Jesus. God showed us the way. I
am so grateful we had the courage and heart to follow.
Loneliness in the workplace has received relatively little
attention in the literature. The research surrounding loneliness
tends to focus almost exclusively on personal characteristics as
the primary determinant of the experience, and largely ignores the
workplace as a potential trigger of loneliness. As such,
personality tends to be overestimated as the reason for loneliness,
whilst only modest emphasis is given to environmental factors, such
as organisational environments. Therefore, the aim of this study
was to explore the notion of loneliness in the workplace, with a
particular emphasis on examining the antecedents and outcomes of
its development in work contexts. The results from the study
indicate that environmental factors such as fear, lack of community
spirit, and value incongruence play a role in the experience of
work-related loneliness and have an overall negative effect on
employee withdrawal behaviours and job satisfaction. The findings
from this study offer insight into possible areas for
organisational intervention and future research.
