<p>Addictions can be of varied types. Some of the addictions could be using drugs like hash, cocaine etc, some addicts use medicines which have soothing and relaxing effect on mind and body like oxycontin etc., some of the people follow the most easily accessible addictive, alcohol. <a rel="nofollow" onclick="_gaq.push([" href="http://www.soberliving.com/"><strong>Alcohol addiction</strong></a> begins as social habit, which eventually turns into an addiction. People suffer on personal as well as professional front due to addiction. Basically, addiction means physical and psychological dependence on substance that are psychoactive. These substances get beyond the brain and blood barrier after they are ingested into the body. Their grasp is so effective, that the person actually gets under their influence and cannot control own activities.</p>
<p></p>
<p>These substances alter the chemical environment in the brain. </p>
<p>Once the brain gets influenced by the secretion of chemical substances from the drugs, activities get automatically influenced. A person gets completely influenced by these psychoactive substances. An addiction is not always substance related, there are various types of addictions such as compulsive shopping, compulsive cleanliness etc. A compulsive repetitive activity can also be tagged as addiction. It is well described in one of the online encyclopedias that, in a non substantive addiction a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, is observed, despite harmful consequences, as deemed by the user himself to his individual health, mental state, or social life.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Adderall (adderrall) is an amphetamine.<a rel="nofollow" onclick="_gaq.push([" href="http://www.soberliving.com/resources/addictions/california-treatment-center-for-adderall-abuse"><strong>Adderall abuse</strong></a> is one of the problems majorly faced by the youth. This is a drug used mainly for more concentration. It is commonly prescribed by the physicians to those students who face problems due to lack of concentration. It is a study drug, many have nick- named it as "college crack". Students who take Adderall for studying report that they can concentrate on their books for hours at a time, and can then do better on the subsequent exam than they would without the drug.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This drug helps in increasing the concentration levels, which help the students in studies mainly. But the addiction of this drug does not limit itself to the youth only; it has spread its impact among the adults as well. Cutting off the supply of this drug may turn into more dangerous. It is always recommended to seek help of the experts in this matter. The withdrawal symptoms are mental depression, nausea or vomiting, stomach cramps or pain, trembling, unusual tiredness or weakness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">IELTS exam is quite a tough test but it not impossible to crack this examination. The basic aim of this examination is to test English language skills of students that are needed to succeed in various graduate programs. The assessments are very rigorous and thorough. IELTS expects that four main tasks in the examination i.e. reading, listening, writing and speaking, to be done in a specific way. This way is not specified by the authorities.

Your answers must be exactly in accordance to what is mentioned in the question paper. If it is mentioned “Write no more than five words” your answer should not exceed that figure.<br />
Try to answer all the questions. In the IELTS listening test there is no penalty for wrong answers.<br />
Start writing the answers on the question booklet itself. Make sure that the initial writing is clear. You will have to transfer all these into the answer booklet later on. If you write down in indecipherable handwriting then there will be problems while finalising.<br />
Your answers should be grammatically fit for the questions. Make the changes in sentence structure if it is so required after listening through.<br />
There is 30 seconds of “Check your answers time”. You can utilise this by reading ahead and studying some questions from the next section.<br />
When you are reading ahead make sure to highlight the keywords or important words in the question. It will help in focusing attention.<br />
Recording is played just once, so be very attentive and listen to each and every word with care.<br />
You can understand the structure of a listening by taking up an IELTS preparation course Manchester. There are basically 4 sections in this test. First section is a conversation among two people , section 2 is a monologue (popularly a telephonic message), section 3 comprises of a discussion between 3 or more people, and section 4 is again another monologue (consisting of a talk or lecture).<br />
First two sections are easier then the later two. So, you should try and get maximum questions in first couple of sections to improve your overall score.<br />
Speakers often say something and then change the answer, so change the answers accordingly.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Screening services are required for conducting background check of an individual, also called background screening. Background screening is mostly made use of in organizations which employ the service providers in investigating the background of a presently working individual or a prospective job candidate. These providers compile reports based on the information collected from the background verification of a prospective or an existing employee, and forward it to the employer.</p>
<p>These records can be all or any of the following types:</p>
<p>· Criminal Record<br />
· Financial Record<br />
· Commercial Record</p>
<p>Need for Screening Services</p>
<p>This screening procedure is basically followed by the employers when they want to recruit candidates for a position requiring high security. It may also be conducted when the employer may want to verify a candidate's background information so as to decide if to retain him/her in the company or not. </p>
<p>In most cases while making fresh recruitments, the company wants to make sure they are absorbing the most eligible and trustable candidate. A screening helps evaluate the candidate's qualifications and in the process points out the potential risks.</p>
<p>Typically, a background check comprises the following tasks:</p>
<p>· Credit score check<br />
· Criminal record check<br />
· Employment history verification</p>
<p>Types of Screening Services</p>
<p>Potential employers employ different kinds of investigative screenings before making the final decision of selecting a particular candidate. There are providers who offer specific or customized background search services. These, usually, require performing comprehensive checks on the background of an individual, furnishing the company with all action letters and also throughout the whole process, guarantee compliance.</p>
<p>Here follows a list of the some of the widely employed screening services:</p>
<p>· Credit reports<br />
· Driving record<br />
· Criminal record<br />
· Reference checks<br />
· Sex offender record<br />
· Credential verification<br />
· Patriot Act investigation<br />
· Past Employment verification<br />
· Educational background verification</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Substance abuse is a widespread societal problem and, therefore, a problem in many workplaces. But employers leeway to deal with the problem as they see fit is constrained by the privacy rights of employees and federal and state laws. The federal laws that most impact the issue are the Drug-Free Workplace Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. There are many state and even some local ordinances, as well, that may affect how the employer may discover substance abuse and treat substance-abusing employees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This article explains the general relevant parameters of the three federal laws and suggests some best practices in dealing with the problem of substance abuse among employees. The Drug-Free Workplace Act requires businesses holding government contracts of ,000 or more, and institutions that receive federal grants or other forms of federal assistance, to establish drug education and awareness programs for their workers in an effort to maintain a drug-free workplace. </p>
<p>To comply with the act, steps employers must take include <br />
Giving employees notice that the company prohibits possession, use, and distribution of illegal drugs in the workplace and spell out specific disciplinary action that will be taken against violators.<br />
Educating employees about the dangers of drug use in the workplace.<br />
Making information on counseling and rehabilitation available to employees with drug problems.<br />
Giving each employee a copy of the drug-free policy and requiring them to agree to abide by the policy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The act does not, however, require any testing for drugs, but various court cases that have been filed challenging drug testing of employees provide some guidelines. Where the employee is in a safety sensitive position, such as train driver or security guard, courts have generally held that an employer's drug testing program is reasonable. Drug testing of current employees not in safety sensitive positions can be more problematic. Any positive results should always be confirmed with a second test. Results of all tests and any other medical information must be kept confidential.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Handling the Substance-Abuser</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you suspect an employee has a substance abuse problem but don't know for sure, keep your discussion with the employee on job performance. Only if the employee tells you that he or she has a substance abuse problem or if the problem is completely obvious to any reasonable observer should you mention that the company has counseling services available through your employee assistance program (EAP) or talk about outpatient and inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation programs. It's very important to document employees performance, both good and bad, so that you have a record of deteriorating performance whether due to substance abuse, or any other problem.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If an employee asks for leave to enter a residential or full-time treatment program, he or she is most likely entitled to unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act and under the Americans with Disabilities Act.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before the employee enters rehabilitation the terms of his or her continued employment should be spelled out in an agreement signed by the employee. Typically, the employee agrees to comply with treatment rules (such as regular attendance at AA or similar meetings); to avoid any further use of illegal drugs during the rest of his or her employment; to meet regularly with EAP counselors, who may report any relapses; to submit to random, unannounced drug testing for a specified period of time or indefinitely; and to report to the employer any conviction for drug- or alcohol-related offenses. The agreement should also spell out the penalties if the employee violates the agreement. Some employers allow employees a second chance at rehabilitation while others take a relapse as grounds for immediate termination. Whatever your policy, it should be spelled out, so that the employee knows from the beginning what happens if the agreement is violated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ADA</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employment discrimination against employees and job applicants who have successfully completed or are currently in a rehab program and are no longer illegally using drugs. A rehab program can be any program that provides professional (not necessarily medical) assistance and counseling for individuals who illegally use drugs or abuse alcohol. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since the ADA also protects people who are perceived as having a disability, employers risk violating the law if they have blanket policies against employing anyone who has a past history of drug convictions, unless there is a proven job-related reason for doing so, such as a high degree of safety or security. Each applicant must be evaluated individually on a case by case basis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sadly, many people who go through rehab and are able to stay clean for a while relapse and then go back into rehab. There are no hard and fast rules about this under the ADA but, logically, if the person has remained employed and has relapsed, then he or she has arguably engaged in current drug use while employed and is no longer protected by the ADA, which protects only those who are no longer using illegal drugs. When this issue has reached the courts, most have said that one chance at rehab is all the employer is legally obligated to provide.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As for alcohol abuse, alcoholism is a protected disability under the ADA which means alcoholics the employer is required to provide reasonable accommodation. This does not mean, however, that the employer has to tolerate unacceptable behavior, excessive absenteeism, safety lapses, etc. An alcoholic or drug abuser can be held to the same performance standards as all other employees. If, however, an alcoholic asks for time off for treatment or for other reasonable accommodation (e.g., changing a lunch hour so the person could attend a noon Alcoholic Anonymous meeting), the employer may be required to provide it. </p>

<p>Drug testing with drug test kits of all types is a routine part of employment procedure in the workplace, due to federal safety regulations, as well as professional sports' mandatory testing of athletes for performance-enhancing drugs. As it has become an increasingly pervasive part of modern life, more and more people have had to "run the gauntlet", so to speak, which entails, usually, being subject to a "laboratory test" which collects and analyzes urine, sweat, blood, hair, saliva, and even fingernail clippings. Drug tests are officially divided into federally mandated and general workplace or home tests, and consist of several other "sub-types"of tests, including diagnostic screening, pre-employment, random, and post-incident tests.</p>
<p>Most people will be tested with what's known as a NIDA 5 (National Institute on Drug Abuse) or SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.completedrugtestingsolutions.com/Multiple-Substances-Tests/c13/index.html">five panel drug test</a>, consisting of a paper strip, which tests for "the big five" - cocaine, methamphetamine, THC, opiate, and PCP. If the test comes up positive, the sample is then sent to another lab for a GC/MS (Gas Chromography/Mass Spectrometry) analysis and "quantitative verification". If the test comes out negative, it's reported negative and never sent on for GC/MS testing. Another common type of drug testing kit is hair follicle testing, or "follicle screen", where the lab techs will take about 1 </p>
