  • Police Officers' Attitudes Towards Colleagues with Mental Health Issues
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by LJMU Research Online Policing (Oxford): a Journal of Policy and Practice (Post-refereeing and pre-publication version) Title: “Break a Leg – It’s all in the mind”: Police officers’ attitudes towards colleagues with mental health issues. Mr. Sean Bell Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies (LCAPS) Liverpool John Moores University [email protected] 0151 231 5160 Dr. Yarin Eski Liverpool Centre for Advanced Policing Studies (LCAPS) Liverpool John Moores University [email protected] 0151 231 5160 ‘To not have your suffering recognised is an almost unbearable form of violence.’ Andrei Lankov The theatrical saying ‘break a leg’ is one of luck. However, one of the authors, being a police officer and Police Federation representative and advocate for officers with ill (mental) health, often hears the words used in somewhat different, more macabre circumstances. ‘Break a leg and you will get some sympathy, mention stress or depression and people think you are swinging the lead.’ Most officers are reluctant to discuss the matter with colleagues as they fear there is a taboo associated with this type of illness. Often they are wary of informing line managers, which can delay support and potential interventions, and could subsequently, prevent the matter escalating. This paper will first and foremost raise awareness of the problematique of mental health issues and related stigmas that exist in the police profession. As shall become clear, there is insufficient research in this field, making a strong case for police forces and academics to work in tandem to better understand the issue and make recommendations to address this problem and possible salvations.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Superstitions in the Theatre Business
    Superstitions in the Theatre Business BOUQUET OF FLOWERS The Superstition: To receive a bouquet of flowers at the stage door BEFORE the play begins is an omen of failure. However, it is very lucky for an actress to receive flowers AFTER a performance Origin: Real flowers must never be used on stage. The problem with real flowers is that they have to be replaced; especially on a stage, which is given to all kinds or false light and dark throughout a day. Real, fresh flowers can be expensive; and I've never known a theatre company that has money to spare. Not to mention actors who may have pollen allergy. FLOWERS FROM GRAVEYARDS: The Superstition: There is a closing night tradition in the theatre for the cast to give the director and/or leading lady a bouquet of flowers that has been stolen from a graveyard. Origin: Actors are typically poor and flowers and arrangements can be expensive. The site of a new funeral and freshly filled grave is a wealth of lavish flowers. For an actor, it seems, the macabre is no deterrent to thrift. REHEARSAL The Superstition: Professional actors consider it a bad sign if a rehearsal is perfect. The play will have a very short run after a perfect rehearsal, or will go very badly. Similarly, it is extremely unlucky to speak the tag line, or the last line of the play, during rehearsals. The line which completes the play must not be spoken until the opening night of the show. Origin: After a perfect rehearsal a cast and crew tends to feel as if they are 'prepared' for the production.
