This document discusses drug addiction, including its causes, stages, effects, and strategies for overcoming it. Drug addiction is characterized as a chronic disease that affects the brain differently in each person. It progresses through stages as the user's life becomes increasingly centered around drug use. Addiction can cause a wide range of health problems, injuries, behavioral issues, and birth defects. Overcoming addiction requires deciding to change one's life and environment, building a sober social network, avoiding triggers, and developing a meaningful drug-free life.
Drug addiction is basically a brain disease that changes the functioning of brain. There is an uncontrollable desire to consume drugs, as a result of which addicted people engage in compulsive behavior to take drugs.
Drug addiction is a complex and chronic disease that affects your brain and behavior. If left untreated drug addiction will inevitably worsen over time, But when addicts do seek treatment for their drug abuse symptoms and are truly committed to their recovery programs they have real hope of finding lasting sobriety. You may need help from your family, friends, or rehabilitation center such as Navjeevan Rehabilitation center Patiala to overcome your drug addiction and stay drug-free.

"Youth" The Future Leaders! and “The Drug Problem“Andeel Ali
My first presentation on slideshare! This presentation was delivered in PYDN - Professional Youth Development Network's First Sindh Youth Summit which happened in 2010. And it was my first keynote presentation in any conference! :3
This presentation comprehensively explains the drug problem. I have given the Global Scenario i.e. How and When the United Nations decided to curb the World Drug Problem. Followed by the Local scenario of drug addiction i.e. How Pakistan and Sindh are suffering from it.
I have also explained how we can curb the drug demand in our society.
On a sidenote, this presentation can tell you how I have changed my powerpoint skills! :) i.e. from the generic mediocre style to what Jesse Desjardins @jessedee and Guy Kawasaki @GuyKawasaki advocate!
Addiction is the disease of the brain. it is believed that it can't be cured and it only depart taking life of the addicted. But addicts can recover no one is hopeless.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. INTRODUCTION TO DRUGS
• Drug addiction is A chronic disease
affecting the brain, and just about
everyone is different.
• Drugs affect different people in
different ways. One person can take
and abuse drugs, yet never become
addicted, while another merely has
one experience and is immediately
hooked

3. INTRODUCTION TO DRUGS
INTRODUCTION OF DRUG ADDICTION EXPLAINS AND IS CHARACTERIZED BYA
PERSON HAVING TO USE THE DRUG(S) REPEATEDLY, REGARDLESS OF THE
DAMAGE IT DOES TO;
- THEIR HEALTH
- THEIR FAMILY
- THEIR CAREER
-THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY
4. WHAT IS ADDICTION?
• Addiction is not limited to drugs and
alcohol. People can be addicted to many
things, such as food, gambling, shopping, or
most anything that gets in the way of a
healthy lifestyle. When things get out of
hand, and people behave compulsively,
regardless of the consequences.
• When the person is no longer in charge of
their life, regardless of the triggering
mechanism, they are addicted. The
addiction can take over a person’s entire
life. Nothing else matters.

5. WHAT CAUSES DRUG ADDICTION?
There are several factors and causes to consider with addiction. First there is a
genetic component, that is, what is passed on to you through your family.
• If your blood relatives had a predisposition to become addicted, chances are you
have that same tendency.
• Personality contributes to drug addiction.
• Peer pressure is huge, both for teenagers and adults alike.

13. CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG ADDICTION
Drugs are chemicals. Different drugs,
because of their chemical structures, can
affect the body in different ways. In fact,
some drugs can even change a person's
body and brain in ways that last long after the
person has stopped taking drugs, maybe
even permanently. 13
14. INJURIES
MORE DEATHS, ILLNESSES AND DISABILITIES STEM FROM SUBSTANCE ABUSE
THAN FROM ANY OTHER PREVENTABLE HEALTH CONDITION. TODAY, ONE IN
FOUR DEATHS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ILLICIT DRUG USE. PEOPLE WHO LIVE
WITH SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE HAVEA HIGHER RISK OFALL BAD OUTCOMES
INCLUDING UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES, ACCIDENTS, RISK OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, MEDICAL PROBLEMS,AND DEATH.

15. HEALTH PROBLEMS
• Weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to
infections.
• Cause cardiovascular conditions ranging from abnormal
heart rate to heart attacks.
• Cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
• Cause the liver to have to work harder, possibly causing
significant damage or liver failure.
• Cause seizures, stroke and widespread brain damage
• Produce global body changes such as breast development
in men, dramatic fluctuations in appetite and increases in
body temperature, which may impact a variety of health
conditions.
15
16. EFFECT ON THE BRAIN
• All drugs of abuse - nicotine, cocaine,
marijuana, and others - effect the brain's
"reward" circuit, which is part of the limbic
system.
• Drugs hijack this "reward" system, causing
unusually large amounts of dopamine to flood
the system.
• This flood of dopamine is what causes the
"high" or euphoria associated with drug
abuse.
16
18. BIRTH DEFECTS
18
• These and other illicit drugs may pose various risks for pregnant women and their babies.
Some of these drugs can cause a baby to be born too small or too soon, or to have
withdrawal symptoms, birth defects or learning and behavioral problems.
• Pregnant women who use illicit drugs may engage in other unhealthy behaviors that
place their pregnancy at risk, such as having extremely poor nutrition or developing
sexually transmitted infections.
19. PAKISTAN DEALING WITH DRUG ADDICTION
Widespread drug abuse may be indicated by
the fact that almost five percent of the adult
population is using drugs in Pakistan.As a
proportion of drug abusers, heroin users
have increased from 7.5 percent in 1983 to a
shocking 51 percent a decade later in 1993.
19
20.
21. UNITED NATION FIGHTING DRUG ABUSE
Pakistan is not alone in fighting this disease.
With the
globalization of the drug abuse problem in
the last two decades, the situation has gone
from bad to worse, so much so that the
united nations commission on narcotic drugs
no longer discusses individual situations. It
has argued that the solution does not lie in
the hands of individual countries. It has to be
worked out through mutual efforts by south
Asian countries.
