The initial levels of Continental Airlines pre employment screening involves a thorough background check and commences with the candidate submitting their qualifications in the form of an up to date resume that can be in either the functional or reverse chronological order format and a covering letter that would include a clearly stated objective that would indicate to the company your potential for your targeted position.

The company needs to make sure that they invest in the best-fitting person for the job so you ought to state your work experience to so that they can guage disciplines and skills you have acquired for the desired position. Your educational background as well as earned technical skills must also be included with supplemental documents to prove your qualifications.

Should the candidate’s initial application prove successful, then they will be invited by the company to take part in the next stage of the pre employment screening process.

You need to complete the required medical tests, particularly drug tests and background checks to determine whether you are physically and morally fit to become part of this prestigious airline company. Employment is contingent to satisfactory background analysis, drug test, and other necessary medical test results.

The company’s commitment to maintain the highest levels of professionalism and customer service and very high expectations for it is employees means that the pre employment screening is a very tough process to complete. To get through it the candidate needs to self excited and driven.

Cranberry Juice – The Natural Diuretic:

Cranberry Juice is treated as a natural diuretic, which can be consumed at home. Having cranberry juice on the day of the test temporarily dilutes the urine. This will temporarily strip out THC from the urine. High quality cranberry juice is also consumed to balance the pH level of the urine and increase frequency of urination. Cranberry juice is praised for its ability to aid in maintaining natural kidney functioning.

Using Cranberry Juice to Pass the Drug Test:

Drug abusers drink a few glasses of cranberry juice before going to work on the day of the test. They ensure the urine in the bladder is as watered down as possible. Drug abusers begin by drinking a gallon or more of water and drink a couple of glasses of cranberry juice in between. The cranberry juice will ensure to urinate frequently.

If the company has a history of having tests on the work places instantly, drug abusers try to keep a bottle of cranberry juice with them always. They just drink it before the test, and possibly get a chance to urinate before the test to clean out the system with the aid of the juice.

How it Works:

Theory is to cause a “pH shift”, making the urine sample acidic – altering the chemistry of immunoassay tests. In reality – the body detoxifies the acid and dilutes to physiological pH. Between the frequent urination and the dilution of your urine with water, metabolites are unable to build up to a detectable level. For example, cranberry juice contains enough benzoic acid to produce a decidedly acidic urine specimen. Alterations of the urine pH outside the specified limits could result in a false-negative result.

This should help you to look for ways to prevent a potential drug addict from circumventing the test procedure.

1. Admit Fault. If you are reading this, you probably did not initiate the break up. You will fillet your history, every word, every gesture, every bad haircut, every sex act, every scene that could have possibly led to why he or she left you. Guess what? It wasn’t your fault. You did not do anything but be your own special beautiful self. It is the ex’s fault. The ex is the one who needs the therapy, not you.

2. Resort to alcohol or drugs to make you feel better. You’ll only depress your system more, and possibly face jail time or REHAB. This will only result in more depression, more money spent on legal fees and therapy, and ultimately, you’ll blame yourself for it all when in actuality, it’s the ex’s fault that you became a crackhead. You wouldn’t have resorted to a DUI conviction or an overdose if he or she wasn’t the one who started it? So just stay clean and sober.

3. Purchase those self help books. I read them all and what they did was make me wallow in it for longer than I needed to. Now I’ve got an Amazon.com bill that rivals my therapy bill and lemme tell ya: I may use a little extra cash right now. Just read this article. For free.

4. Speak to happily married friends about your break up. They have no idea how to relate to your problem. Sure, they have been dumped before, but that was years ago. And besides, you don’t want to be around their perfect house, kids, dog, and spouses while you cry at their perfect kitchen table. Find some desperately single friends to talk to about it. Chances are, they have been dumped recently also and know just how you feel RIGHT NOW. Married friends have to rely on memory and we all know how fast that goes as we age.

5. Sign on to ANY of those online dating sites. Crimeny. Those sites will just make you FEEL available when emotionally, you really aren’t. Plus, a lot of those weirdos (I’m just sayin’…) are probably recently dumped folk themselves, and have just as low self-esteem as you do. What you are looking for is someone with their ducks in a row. If you ask me, any site that matches me using a logarithm I have to pay for to conjure chemistry is questionable at best and will only add to your break up bill.

6. Eat more/Starve yourself. No. Remain the same healthy, beautiful person you were when the “hex” picked you up as a partner.

7. Listen to break up songs or songs about love. Somebody call 911 for you right now! Let me put it to you this way: you know that song (Nat King Cole’s version comes to mind) of “Our Love is Here to Stay”? Sample these lyrics: In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble/They’re only made of clay/But our love is here to stay Lies. All of it. Look on GoogleMap. The Rockies are STILL THERE! Gibraltar is a big freaking rock. It ain’t going nowhere and still stands! However, his/her love took off, crumbled into the sea as if it was discarded material from a potter’s wheel! Where is this “love” now? This song is a LIE! Do not listen to this one especially.

And as to the Bee Gees’ “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?”, I say behavior modification methods work well. Make certain to put a rubber band around your wrist. Every time you think of your “hex,” snap it and cause yourself pain. You’ll quit thinking about him/her in no time and the only thing you’ll need to heal is your wrist! Don’t listen to that song, either.

8. Watch romantic comedies. You fill in the blank here. And if you still can’t figure out why you shouldn’t do it, buy stock in Kleenex ASAP. Those stocks will split in NO TIME with all that you’ll be using. You can sell ‘em and that will help pay off your Amazon.com/therapy bills.

9. Stalk your ex on social networking sites. If you find yourself doing this, buy more stock in Kleenex (or possibly Zoloft) and get that debt compensated off even faster!

10. Change. Okay, let’s face it. We do have to own some of our failings and defects. This is a great time to do inventory on what makes you a jerk or a nag. That old proverb “Don’t change, man, don’t you ever change” should be our mantra until we remember that we are beautiful, awesome souls that some other jerk or nag couldn’t understand/appreciate. They are the ones at fault, remember, and if anyone should change, it’s them.

11. Go back to the ex when he/she begs/emails/texts/drunk dials/what have you. And repeat this disaster AGAIN? You’d be better off purchasing a roll of ride tickets from your local carnie. I say this because the probability is high that you’ll be riding this same nightmare again, so stock up on those tickets and barf bags. Break ups don’t have a height requirement and most carnies can’t pass a drug test anyway (I’m just sayin’…), so I would not trust them with my body, let alone my heart.

12. Find another jerk/nag just like the ex. You know that roll of ride tickets I told you to buy for those stoned carnies? Make certain to get ready to cash more in. You have made it through this article so far; why not go the distance and step out of the break up ride line and get in the one that sells those awesome caramel apples? It will taste a lot better than going through this pucky again!

These are my steps for How NOT to get over a break up. Go ahead. Do not take my advice. Do not read this article. Spit on me. I don’t care. I’ve already felt every humiliation possible due to my break up.

Locate a good flight training center. If you have any friends that are pilots, they are able to advise you on a good flight school. Often, they can either recommend their own school or direct you to a better one. It’s not difficult to make friends with other pilots. Pilots are generally very nice, friendly people. You will be welcomed into their extended family. Try asking around at a small airport and chances are good you’ll find plenty of answers from local pilots. If all else fails, search through your local phone book for flight universities.

Before you enroll in a flight school, check them out. There are many important things to know about a flight school, including how long they have been teaching pilots, the type of planes used for training, the age of the training planes, and how often the planes have had maintenance checks. The flight board requires that an airplane be inspected every 100 hours, but a reputable flight school will make these inspections more frequently. Ensuring that the flight school that you choose gauges their engine hour meters with Hobbs Meters may be a good choice. Instrumental in recording your accurate flight time, an engine hour meter will be used to record the time between the start and shutdown of your plane’s engine.

Complete your ground school training. It’s very essential that you obtain ground school training and endure flight hours. Before you can get into the plane, there are several topics you have to cover in the classroom, that’s what ground school is for. While some flight schools run ground school and flight training at the same time, most require you to finish ground school before you get any instruction in the air. Ground training will be defined by comprehending aerodynamics, airport protocol, and the basics of flying, while experiencing first hand tutorials on what it is to fly and how to ensure the safety of a plane. You will also be exposed to reading sectionals such as maps, radio frequencies, avionics, and the like. The written portion of your upcoming exam is taken from ground training.

Pass the medical exam. Passing your physical exam is the first requirement to being permitted to do any flying, including basic training maneuvers. The flight exam covers more than your basic physical. It also consists of a drug test, a blood test for health issues that could negatively affect your flying, and perhaps most importantly – an eye test. Yes, people with corrective lenses can still become pilots! However, a doctor must determine whether or not your vision is sharp enough to fly a plane without incident.

Log as many hours in the air as you possibly can. At the beginning of your training, you will spend many hours with an instructor, as the flight lessons will be mainly educational. You will learn many critical maneuvers, such as how to take off, how to stall, and how to land. It’s imperative that you learn how to stall the plane because this will inherently train you on how to get out of a stall. Power on stalling and power off stalling are the two forms of stalls that you will need to become familiar with. If a stall occurs while the plane is at full throttle and taking off, this is referred to as power on stalling. Another form of stalling takes place in the landing sequence when the plane resides at a low idle, and it is referred to as power off stalling. You have to be prepared for all scenarios in the event of a malfunction, thus it is very important that you know how to deal with both types of stalling.

You will go through the process of learning how to execute a number of techniques including ground reference maneuvers during your flight hours. The successful execution of ground reference maneuvers entails finding an object, and then circling it 360 degrees besides to maintaining your initial starting altitude and equidistance. During flight hours, you will learn how to read navigation panels and fly with and without instruments. After the basic training you will need to fly solo. At this time, you will be on your own to fulfill your needed amount of solo flight hours.

It’s imperative that you approach your testing very seriously. You can begin the actual testing process upon the completion of your ground training and when all of your flight hours have been amassed and collected. In this step of the process, it’s very important that you do very well in this area, and this is even more important if you are intending to pursue a career as a commercial airline pilot. Without success on every test, you cannot hope to become a commercial pilot; however, you are permitted to take a test over again if you do fail it.

Your instructor usually recommends a facility where you will take your written test. The test will cover items from both your in-air training and ground school. If you pass the written exam, you’ll then be able to take the final exam: a flight with a qualified examiner.

The flight examiner will be asking questions while this test flight, and it’s very likely that he or she’ll focus in on things that you may have erred on in the written portion. Among the tests you must pass are inspecting the plane prior to flight, flying proficiently according to your instructors commands, and landing the plane numerous times. If the flight examiner is satisfied with your performance, you’ll have passed your test and can expect your pilot’s license in the mail!

The drugs which can be tested for include THC, cocaine and heroin, alcohol, Ecstasy, barbiturates and amphetamines. These oral fluid collection tests may actually be superior at determining opiate usage than the urine test. This is the only test that shows whether a person is under the influence of a drug that he has just taken. This type of testing also has the added feature of being able to ascertain drug usage within the last 6 hours, something other tests couldn’t do. The only single preparation a testee needs is to refrain from any eating and drinking for at least 1 hour prior to having the oral swab taken. Most employees prefer this test as it involves merely a swab between the cheek and lower gum which allows oral saliva to be collected onto the cotton padding of the swab. These tests can be used in any remote job locations. Employers can always choose to hire someone on the spot, thanks to the efficiency and accuracy of these tests, if they wish. There do not have to be any restroom facilities available at the test site. No private rooms are ever needed and no private monitor is necessary to document the authenticity of the oral saliva collection procedure. There are some of these oral fluid collection test kits which will allow the testing of multiple people at one time. Technology, time management and cost effectiveness rolled up into one efficient kit. These tests are also available for home use.

The reliability and accuracy of these tests are in the 98-99% range and they are quite easy to read by those who are charged with administering and documenting the tests. No longer is there any worry about being splashed with bodily fluids and there is no cleaner method available for collecting a body fluid specimen. The employee is able to maintain his composure and dignity during the entire testing procedure and he does not feel violated, as many did under the constant observation during the urine tests. One of the better features of this test is the ability to isolate any of the target drugs that have just been taken. In the past, there were many stories about people that would actually take urine tests while high and yet the urine test would be clean because the drug was too new within the body to show up. With the use of the urine collection tests, the collection could only be done after the drugs had sufficient time to metabolize in the body. It was only after the drug metabolization had begun and the body had begun to excrete that the older tests were able to isolate traces of them. This isn’t the case any longer thanks to the advent of the new oral fluid collection technology. There is no loss of man hours due to waiting for the completion of a test or to get the results, it takes only a minute ,or so ,to do an oral test, and 10 minutes to see the results. There is no way of adulterating, falsifying or confusing this test. For many employers it is a wonderful innovation, for which there truly was a need.

Oral fluid tests can sometimes be hampered by a lack of oral saliva, and recent food or drink that has been ingested can also have an effect on the drug quantification. But these are quite small negatives. These tests are only geared, unfortunately, for the major types of abused drugs: opiates, cocaine and heroin, barbituates, alcohol and THC. They can only tell recent drug use. Which is one reason, their scope includes the more prevalent, illegal drugs, and the lab tests can not give any indications of any past drug histories. These tests can and do clearly show how greatly improved today’s drug testing method indeed is.

Although the number of drugs that an oral fluids test can check for is relatively small, this one small negative is offset by the numerous positive factors that oral fluid collecting kits have brought to the table. In the past, the procedures surrounding a urine drug screen did often cause humiliation and anger or resentment. An oral test manages to get the job done and over with almost as soon as the person can blink. And any employer would far rather know if an employee is actually using drugs at work, as opposed to knowing that an employee had drank some beer at his home during his time off. This type of test makes a great deal sense when it is applied and used in a proper setting. These tests may soon become the gold standard in the majority of workplace settings, particularly in settings where it is imperative that the employees are sober and alert, such as in the trucking or heavy machinery fields.

I don’t use illegal drugs myself, but I have researched the topic, and I’ve had friends who passed many drug tests despite regular drug use. I pass on the following hoping that you will use the information for justifiable purposes. In other words, if you are my taxi driver, I don’t care if you had a joint over the weekend, but if you are a school bus driver, please don’t toke up before driving.

If you want to at least stop using for a while, in order to pass a drug test, be sure you know what kind of test it is. A simple urine test can often be passed just by abstaining for a couple weeks. A hair test will detect use from months back, however, and it may look suspicious if you shave your head beforehand.

How To Pass A Drug Test – Most Of The Time

Fortunately for you, most drug tests are urine tests, because they are cheaper to do. These tests can be beaten in a number of ways, including the simple temporary abstinence mentioned above. That assumes that you have sufficient warning, of course.

Some people pass drug tests by using other people’s urine. It can be bought online, in liquid form or as crystals that need to be reconstituted. Alternately, users take a donation from a friend who does not do drugs (I have been asked). To use it though, it must be body temperature. Testers check this.

One way this is accomplished is by strapping a condom full of the urine next to the inner thigh. This keeps it warm enough usually. If testers aren’t watching too closely, it’s detached and slowly spilled into the cup and toilet to make the appropriate sounds.

I have known users who passed their drug tests by drinking a lot of water. It’s only logical. The test is for a certain threshold amount of the drugs in your system. Dilute your urine, and you might fall below that threshold. Drink several quarts of water in the hours leading up to the test,and you just may pass.

Good testers will notice that your urine looks like water, but there is little they can say. Be sure to take several B-complex vitamins with the water, and this will usually make your urine more yellow. If they require a new test because they suspect your trick, at least you have time to clean up your act.

You can also buy substances said to mask the drugs in your system, although users tell me most of them don’t work. None of these tricks work all the time, especially if the test is a complete surprise. Why not consider just saving your money and skipping the drugs? Now that’s how to pass a drug test.

Everybody experiences some amount of depression in one’s life. However, for some people, the amount tends to increase with time. When this amount increases to a great extent, it’s not normal. The stage affects a lot in a person’s mental and physical status.

When it comes to the normal blues, these are sometimes triggered by anything from a particular thing someone had seen, said, thought or feared. Sometimes, these blues occur without any valid reason, warning or explanation. This is the time where one just waits for the bad period to just pass by quietly.

However, if you are keen on knowing whether you have serious depression, it’s a wise idea to go for some kind of self tests. These self depression tests will explain you clearly about whether you have a serious depression or plain blues.

Answer the following questions to do self depressions test:

a)  Are you feeling totally withdrawn from pleasures of life? This is actually the most accurate self depression’s test. All you require to do is to try out something that you are aware of and used to give a lot of happiness in earlier days.

This may be anything from your favorite movie, hobby, shopping venture etc.  In case, you find out that all these things do not have anything to do with your pleasure now, then this is definitely a sign of serious depression.

b)  Have been forgetting a lot of things off late? Don’t forget that depression tends to cause hiccups in your memory and you would come to know that certain things are completely wiped out from the memory. The often leaves you totally baffled. This is another test that works towards providing you valid results.

c)  Is it becoming difficult for you to skip at night? Or have you been sleeping very little during the night? If yes, then it may be due to a lot of coffee or stimulants. Why do you like coffee or stimulants too much? If you don’t have an answer for this, than the self depression test is going to provide you a great answer for it.

d)  Have you lost your appetite recently? There are times when one does not feel like consuming. This is normal. However, if it becomes a common affair, the self depression test, confirms that it is a ‘yes’.

e)  In case, your answer to all the questions mentioned above is in ‘yes’, then you are definitely suffering from a serious depression. Here, it’s really important for you to get some hold or yourself and go for a professional help.

f)  There are some other tests you may go for. One of the most popular tests remains the gold berg test. This particular test was designed by Dr. Ivan Goldberg. The test consists of some eighteen questions. Each question is supposed to be answered by the individual. The use of a sliding scale of responses is mandatory. This actually shows how they have felt during the week that has just gone by.

As soon as all the questions are replied, scores are added for the final score wherein each score has a specific significance. The final score settles whether you are depressed or not.

The APA (American Polygraph Association) says on their web site that the problem is one of differing methods of measuring accuracy. Polygraph critics, they say, “who often don’t understand polygraph testing, classify inconclusive test results as errors.” An “inconclusive” result isn’t an error, they say, but I imagine that if you are accused of murder, and you are innocent, you might want something more accurate than “inconclusive” from your polygraph test. The APA will not call it a lie detector test, by the way, even though detecting lies is what it’s supposed to do.

One APA explanation: “If 10 polygraph examinations are administered and the examiner is correct in 7 decisions, wrong in 1 and has 2 inconclusive test results, we calculate the accuracy rate as 87.5% (8 definitive results, 7 of which were correct.) Critics of the polygraph technique would calculate the accuracy rate in this example as 70 percent, (10 examinations with 7 correct decisions.)” This argument isn’t entirely unreasonable, since there are several ways to measure accuracy.

What is interesting here, is that even in an argument from the biggest promoters of the polygraph, the example given is of of 87.5% accuracy, and 20% “inconclusive” results. This means that of a 100 people tested in a murder case, about 10 innocent people would be found to be “lying,” and 20 with an “inconclusive” reading. Those with inconclusive results might include both murderers and innocent people.

Lets look at this another way. Of a 100 murderers, 10 would be found to be telling the truth, and 20 would have inconclusive results from their lie detector results. In other words, out of 100 murders, 30 wouldn’t be identified, according to the accuracy assumed in the example above.

Now let’s consider the APA method again, with a new example. Suppose we question 100 innocent people about a crime, and just one was found to be telling the truth, while the other 99 tests had “inconclusive” results. A relatively useless test, don’t you think? It correctly identifies just 1 out of 100 innocent people. It leaves a cloud of suspicion over the other 99 people. However, the accuracy would be 100% if we measure the results the way the American Polygraph Association does.

The lie detector test is not considered science by most researchers. On the APA web site, you are able to find a little about the scientific evidence for the polygraph. A small excerpt: “Scientists conducted 41 studies involving the accuracy of 1,787 laboratory simulations of polygraph examinations, producing an average accuracy of 80 percent. Scientists conducted 16 studies involving the reliability of independent analyses of 810 sets of charts from laboratory simulations producing an average accuracy of 81 percent.”

Think about this for a moment. Is 80% supposed to be accurate enough?! Such a test would identify 200 out of a thousand innocent job applicants as liars, and many more as possible liars (“inconclusive”). Is this lie detector test really something that should be encouraged? Now you are able to understand item number 7 from the APAs “Checklist for the Polygraph Examiner”: “Carry a minimum of $50,000 or equivalent professional liability coverage.”

A better understanding of different types of pharmaceutical patents and ways to extend the life time of the drug patents is essential for the patent professionals involved in pharmaceutical research. The drug patents can be broadly classified into following categories:

1. Composition

2. Formulations

1. Product form

2. Drug release

3. Compound

1. New chemical entity

2. Physical form

3. Particle size

4. Selection patents

5. Active metabolites

6. Prodrugs

4. Dosage/dose

5. Method or process

6. Make certain to use or application

7. Drug delivery

8. Devices

1) Compositions

Composition patents, discloses combination of one or more than active ingredients (known or novel) and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients, such as solvents, buffers, fillers, binders, desintegrants and lubricants. The inventiveness of these patents is in the selected combination of molecules and their specific new function application.

In India, a novel pharmaceutical composition with a single active ingredient (whether known or novel) with an inert carrier isn’t patentable, as there is no synergy between the components viz.  The active compound and the inert carrier.

2) Formulation

A formulation patent relates to the preparation of particular composition in any specific desired form for better effect, form or release.

2.1) Product form: It relates to the different dosage form of new or already known drug or pharmaceutical composition having better active drug release method. The same active ingredient may be formulated in different forms, example, as tablets, capsules or aqueous solutions for parenteral administration. For example, an anti-inflammatory cream containing A would be regarded as clearly distinct from a tablet containing “A” for controlling diabetes. The cream is new because “A” has never been formulated in this form before, and it would be inventive if the previous use of “A” would not suggest its use in topical form.”

2.2) Drug release: In some patents, the claimed formulation is associated with certain effects, such as controlled release in blood of a drug. Other drug release methods include timed, extended and slow release .

3) Compound

These patents related to identification of new chemical, biological, herbal or drug molecule. Patent may or may not say anything about the composition (when added with other ingredients), application or use of the said molecules. In most cases, these new molecules are represented by different formulas in the claim (Markush claims). These compounds can be either new molecules form some sources (e.g., biological, herbal) or new chemical entity (NCE). It can be further categorized based on nature of compound, i.e., polymorph, isomers, physical forms (crystalline or amorphous) or salts.

3.1) New chemical entity: A new chemical entity (NCE) is generally represented by Markush structures in patent claims and discloses different chemical formulas and derivates of novel drugs.

3.2) Physical form: Polymorphism and enantiomerism property of the chemical compounds are exploited by the pharma companies to extent the drug life cycle by inventive new polymorphs, isomers, physical forms (crystalline or amorphous), enantiomers of the know drug.

3.3) Particle size: The dissolution rate of a drug is a function of its intrinsic solubility and its particle size. Particle size reduction can lead to an increased rate of dissolution and higher bioavailability, thus a lot of patents in pharmaceutical industries related to composition with specific particle size of the ingredients, along with dosage forms (e.g., suspensions or dispersions).

3.4) Selection patents: In a ‘selection patent’ claims a single element or a small segment within a large known group is ‘selected’ and independently claimed based on a particular feature not mentioned in the large group. For example, patent on a specific range (e.g., C3-C12) is claimed if a chemical having n-carbon atoms is already patented.

3.5) Active metabolites: In some cases, patents focuses on a compound and on the active metabolite that produces the desired effect in the body. It produces the same effect as the parent drug compound.

3.6) Prodrugs: When metabolised in the body, inactive compounds (called ‘prodrugs’) can produce a therapeutically active ingredient. Some patent claims cover a drug and its prodrug/s.

4) Dosage/dose

Some patent documents claim inventions consisting of the dosage form for administration (e.g., solid dosage form for oral administration) to patients of an existing product. These claims are normally equivalent to claims over methods for medical treatment, as the subject matter is not a product or process but the way in which a product is therapeutically used.

5) Method or process

These patents discloses the method or process to manufacture or preparing, either a compound or composition. They in most case also disclose the application of the said compound or composition. Another type of patents in this category is method of identification of new molecules, method of treatment, method of screening or diagnosis. These patents also include the different assays methods.

6) Be certain to use or application

The focus of this kind of patents is on the effect of compound or composition on a human body or other subjects, for instance, treatment and prevention of from specific diseases),

7) Drug delivery

These patents either disclose any method or device or system for delivering the drug into the human body. It includes both the general drug delivery and the targeted drug delivery system or methods.

7) Devices

It includes patents which disclosed any device, apparatus, kit or sometimes system for the drug delivery, manufacturing, monitoring, screening or diagnosis of particular drug and its activity.

Conclusion It’s a myth among patent analyst, that reading and understanding rug patent is tough. It’s true, but if you have clear knowledge about different patent types, drug formulations and basic terminologies used in the pharmaceutical patents, it’ll make your life easy. Careful reading of patent claims to identify the novelty and inventiveness along with title and abstract can provide high level information about the any patent.

Having stopped drug and alcohol use, the frequency, intensity and duration of cravings differ from person to person. The bad news is they occur; the good news is that over time they generally lessen in frequency and duration. The trick is to stay safe while riding out the wave.

One way to view abstinence and sobriety is simply preparing for that moment when a craving occurs, nobody is watching, and nobody would know if you used, except you. What do you do? That’s the moment of truth.

What follows are some tips and tools that may get you through that moment of danger. Not all tips work for all people, the trick is to find one that will work for you.

That being said, here are the tips to fight craving:

1. Buy yourself some time, distract yourself, with exercise, work or cleaning, get busy. Make certain to put yourself in a safe place where drugs and alcohol are not available. Cravings pass with time.

2. Play the movie forward. Do not forget that we are never talking about ‘just one’. Once you pick up, control goes out the window.

3. Speak to someone. This is the purpose of building a social support network, utilize it. Go to a meeting, call your sponsor, best friend, relative or counselor. Talking it out with someone who really understands helps.

4. Pray or meditate. Ask for help in just getting through this. Make certain to use the Serenity Prayer. The point is to ask for help outside yourself.
