From teens to young adult addicts, the fear and desperate depression that can be associated with the thought of a permanent state of being can even lead to thoughts of suicide, or attempts to self-harm. It is critically important that those around the young addict form enough of a support net to get the treatment needed because this is truly a horrifying and life-changing time for an addict in their early development years.
Generally, for the young adult or teen who is exhibiting behaviors associated with addiction, the family or school is the first to note the change in behaviors and personality traits. The intervention process, which brings the addict to an understanding of their behavior and asks them to consider change for the benefit of those around them, is something that can best be facilitated by a trained professional. If the addict is able to properly respond to the intervention, the chance of recovery treatment having long term success is higher.
Following the intervention, many young people enter in-patient treatment. This type of program has a higher success rate for all addicts in recovery, but in particular can be important in the teen or young adult's treatment. So much of the young person's life in school is dictated by forces that seem outside their control that being removed from the people, places and situations that may have facilitated addiction in the first place is very beneficial to the psychological and physical recovery.
There are a large variety of programs in existence, and it is important that the program be specially geared toward the young people it's treating. The therapist's, groups, and activities need to be engaging to a young person, and offer a meaningful peer group. When a young person enters a treatment facility that is primarily populated by addicts in their forties, can be a limited point of relationship. The group bonding that a person can experience as they re-socialize during recovery is not going to be as meaningful or useful in the long term, and the perspectives shared are not going to make enough sense to the young person that true empathy can develop. Since the relationships of recovery, the process of re-socialization, and learning how to develop healthy and comfortable boundaries are a significant part of the recovery process and seemingly predict the ability of the recovered addict to stay sober after treatment, this "fit" is extremely important.
Additionally, it is critical for a program to be built around the strengths and limitations of the young people its serving. For a group of young men who are in treatment, the best results are going to be found in experiential learning and an all-male environment where it is safe to share. The pride and self-deception of addiction must be stripped away during recovery in a secure environment in order for recovery to succeed.

Education New Zealand (ENZ) raises awareness of New Zealand as a study vacation spot and helps education suppliers and businesses to export their services and products. A sound education levels the taking part in discipline in a rustic where the sphere has a number of entry points, however just one entrance for blacks. So too would coaching in entrepreneurship, creating the flexibility to seize alternative and promote one's abilities and resources. Our focus is high-quality education to offer researchers the instruments they want, no matter the place those instruments are to be found. A few days in the past Rob Rhee wrote AND SIGNED a report that was extremely vital of Florida's LLM in tax program.
The opinions expressed here are these of the writer and do not symbolize the official place of the National Education Policy Middle, Arizona State University, University of Colorado Boulder, nor San José State University. The Education Indicators in Focus brief n° 22 looked into the problem of instruction time in additional element, however didn't find any conclusive evidence on the connection between instruction time and the quality of learning. While I agree that educational parity is vital in a relationship, I take difficulty along with your generalizations and stereotyping. College students at tertiary educational establishments often graduate into joblessness and low morale.
With the final education subjects slide down to the basic education, universities can inject more particular and advanced topics which can be associated to varied degrees. The Early Entry to Faculty Cross Sectoral Placement Committee is searching for expressions of curiosity to affix the committee; from a college principal, an early childhood teacher and a registered psychologist experienced in the identification and education of gifted younger youngsters. You have got, not solely demonstrated a keen insight into the public education debacle, but you will have offered us with practical solutions as effectively. This discuss was recorded on the 2012 Save Our Colleges People's Education Convention in Washington DC. To mark this event, we're planning a 'Special Edition' of the History of Education Researcher journal for publication in May 2017.
Considering that many ACE college students are self-sponsored whereas several others are children of public staff who are being owed backlog of salaries, the result of this is that many college students will be denied access to public education and forced to attend for one more 12 months at home. Represents every little thing fallacious with a lot of the opposition to improving education in America when the purpose is defending America as an entire, quite than taking a State-centric view. Lecturer at Connie L. Lurie School of Education, San José State University; Emeritus Regents' Professor at Arizona State College, and Senior Researcher on the National Education Coverage Middle at the College of Colorado Boulder.
To place this in correct perspective, though, it's first essential to recognize that since within the United States minorities are disproportionately working class and poor, lower socioeconomic standing overlaps significantly with racial and ethnic inequality, increasing the chance that a low-earnings baby will come from a negatively stereotyped and culturally oppressed group, thereby placing further obstacles in the best way of educational achievement.

In order for you not look through the Internet trying to find pieces of information about CCS3 gradient tutorials we've decided to unite most essential info in a single place. Gradients are very useful in creating website layouts, CSS3 – desired feature often used and, of course, useful in the design and layout.
In graphics software for digital image editing, the term gradient or color gradient is used for a gradual blend of color which can be considered as an even gradation from low to high values, as used from white to black in the images to the right. Another name for this is color progression.
This is what Wiki says about gradients. If by chance you're just starting with CSS here are 35 websites that will help get through your learning. So let's get back to our subject matter – CSS3 gradients. Basically there are two types – linear and radial. We'll consider both types to understand specifics of their usage.
Linear Gradient
Linear gradient is the one which changes the color from one to another in proportion between two points in a straight line. This is the easiest way – here is an example:
div {/*-prexix-linear-gradient(first color, last color);*/
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#FFF, #000);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(#FFF, #000);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#FFF, #000);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#FFF, #000);
This is a simple example of a linear gradient that starts with white and ends with black.
Lest consider a bit complex example and change the direction of the gradient. In CSS syntax direction is called point and has five values: top, bottom, left, right and center. Accordingly, in the direction you should mention two values – the first is "from", and the second – "to." There is one BUT- if only one value is mentioned the second by default will be center.
div {background: linear-gradient (center top, # FFF, # 000);}
div {background: linear-gradient (top, # FFF, # 000);}
These lines are similar to the previous ones, for the simplicity the direction values were omitted, as unnecessary.
As an alternative you can use angles value which can be set in several terms, including degrees, radians, and other geometric values. But for simplicity – it is better to use degrees, so that everyone will understand your code. Graduation is clockwise – 0 or 360 is the height, 90 – right, 180 -, and 270 bottom – left. Entries with minus sign are also valid, in this case the grading goes counterclockwise.
ex1 {background: linear-gradient (left, # FFF, # 000);}
ex2 {background: linear-gradient (right, # FFF, # 000);}
ex3 {background: linear-gradient (225deg, # FFF, # 000);}
Degrees allow better directing the gradient that can't be achieved with words.
Adding a Color Stop
So far we have only used a simple gradient, consisting of two colors. Let's have a look at a more complex example:
div {background: linear-gradient (left, # 000, # FFF, # 000);}
Here we've added white between two blacks. The result is a gradient that goes from black to white and back to its original state – to black. Visibility of color stops are shown in a few examples:
ex1 {background: linear-gradient (left, # 000, # FFF, # 000);}
ex2 {background: linear-gradient (left, # 000, # FFF 75%, # 000);}
ex3 {background: linear-gradient (bottom, # 000, # FFF 20px, # 000);}
ex4 {background: linear-gradient (45deg, # 000, # FFF, # 000, # FFF, # 000);}
The result is below:
Ex1 – white is between two blacks;
Ex2 – white is between two blacks, here we've specified the place where to place the color stops, here – 75% from the start;
Ex3 – value of the position of the stop colors can be used not only as a percentage, but in pixels (as well as all other units that CSS understands, but are mainly used percentages and pixels;
Ex4 – five color stops, changes of direction. It is rather simple.
CSS3 Radial Gradient
Radial gradient is a bit more interesting than the linear. But, unfortunately, it's a bit difficult to fit into the design. Radial gradient is the one that extends from a point in the center along its radius.
E {background: radial-gradient (
position or angle, shape or size, stop from, the stop-color, stop to
The syntax is almost the same, with one difference – shape and size are added. The form is of two kinds – the ellipse and a circle (ellipse and circle, respectively, default value: ellipse) size value can be one of the six values. About them below.
The simplest syntax looks like this:
div {background: radial-gradient (# FFF, # 000);}
Radial gradients need to specify a vendor prefix of the browser:
div {
background:-moz-radial-gradient (# FFF, # 000);
background:-ms-radial-gradient (# FFF, # 000);
background:-webkit-radial-gradient (# FFF, # 000);
This is how it looks:
Let's consider more difficult code:
div { background: radial-gradient(contain circle, #FFF, #000); }
Here circle means that the gradient is circular, not elliptical.
Contain - the keywords, which can take a selector size.
Closest-side – the nearest side, gradient extends from the center toward the near side of the element (for circle), or both, horizontal and vertical sides (for the ellipse).
Closest-corner – the gradient extends from the center to the nearest corner of the element.
Farthest-side – gradient extends from the center towards the farthest side of the circle.
Farthest-corner – the gradient extends from the center to the farthest corner of the element.
Contain – similar to the closest-side.
Cover – similar to the farthest-corner.
Some examples for illustration:
ex1 { background: radial-gradient(circle farthest-side, #000, #FFF); }
ex2 { background: radial-gradient(left,circle farthest-side,#000,#FFF); }
ex3 { background: radial-gradient(right top,circle cover,#FFF,#000); }
ex4 { background: radial-gradient(80% 50%,circle closest-side,#FFF,#000); }
The code result:
Ex1 – round gradient, that extends to the far side (used farthest-side);
Ex2 – the center is on the left side, the gradient extended to the far side;
Ex3 – the center is at the top right side, the gradient extends to the far corner;
Ex4 – the center is located in the point 50% of the width, 80% height.
Adding a Color Stop
As with linear gradients – radial are also able to work with multiple colors. Their use is no different from the linear, so here are a few examples:
ex1 { background: radial-gradient(circle farthest-side,#000,#FFF,#000); }
ex2 { background: radial-gradient(circle farthest-side,#000,#FFF 25%,#000); }
ex3 { background: radial-gradient(left,circle farthest-side,#FFF,#000 25%,#FFF 75%,#000); }
ex4 { background: radial-gradient(40% 50%,circle closest-side,#FFF,#FFF 25%,#000 50%,#FFF 75%,#000); }
Now it's time to have a look at some tools and tutorials that will definitely ease your work with CCS gradients.
The CSS gradient feature was introduced by Webkit for about two years but was rarely used due to incompatibility with most browers.
The buttons are scalable based on the font-size. The button size can be easily adjusted by changing the padding and font-size values. The best part about this method is it can be applied to any HTML element such as div, span, p, a, button, input, etc.
Safari 4+, Chrome 1+, Firefox 3.6+, and Opera 11.10+ are all now supporting CSS3 gradients. This wide browser support makes using them for progressive enhancement all the more appealing. More good news, CSS3 gradients fall into the camp where you can specify fallbacks (i.e. images) so that browsers that don't support them just use the image instead.
Select the format you would like your colors generated in. Available options are HEX and RGB.
CSS Gradients – Quick Tutorial
CSS3 gradients aren't something new, but because of cross browser incompatibility, they weren't used that much until now. However, you should know that they are available to use in Safari, Chrome (Webkit) and Mozilla Firefox (from 3.6) browsers.
Lots of CSS gradient code for most popular browsers. Check it out!

After Apple, Inc.'s high-profile entry into the marketplace in April 2015, most of us are now aware of "smart watch" technology.
Once the initial hype had dissipated, it seemed that only hard-core techies continued to tweet and blog about it … with one notable exception. Dan Diamond, executive editor of the Advisory Board Company's "Daily Briefing" newsletter for healthcare executives, has been watching Apple Watch technology even before its official launch — and his observations are very enlightening.
Recent surveys show that more than 50% of consumers are interested in buying wearable technology such as fitness monitors and, like its competitors, the Apple Watch offers health apps:
- Apple Health provides an easy-to-read dashboard of the wearer's health and fitness data
- Apple HealthKit synchronizes 22 health and fitness apps on the watch and, with the wearer's permission, makes the device accessible to physicians, hospitals, technology developers, and others.
Last month, Apple was reportedly engaged in high-level talks about the possibility of the Cloud-based HealthKit becoming the health data hub for some of the nation's leading hospitals.
For Diamond, the implications and value proposition for hospitals and physicians are unclear.
Although the technology sounds transformative, he cautions that physicians and hospitals don't know how to use the data or if it has value to them; centralized data from health trackers (e.g., information on calorie counts and step taken) will not necessarily help physicians and accountable care organizations to manage their highest cost patients.
While Apple's vision for HealthKit may come as no surprise, its ResearchKit has real potential for what some call "creative destruction" — a process through which something brings about the demise of whatever existed before.
Apple believes that this technology will change the way researchers identify participants for their clinical trials by allowing more than 700 million Apple users (worldwide) to "opt in" to clinical trials via their Apple Watches or iPhones.
In theory, ResearchKit will improve real-time, accurate data collection in clinical trials, and, because of users' propensity for wearing their devices (or keeping them at arm's reach) 24/7, Apple's strategy might succeed.
Perhaps because of Apple's iconic stature, many well-respected organizations have already been willing to experiment with ResearchKit; for instance:
- When Apple announced five clinical trials last spring, there was record demand from potential participants — more than 7,000 in 6 hours, according to Sage Bionetworks.
- Apple collaborated with the University of Rochester, Xuanwu Hospital, and Capital Medical University in a design incorporating ResearchKit in a Parkinson's disease study.
- Apple has created apps for: diabetes research in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital; asthma research in partnership with Mount Sinai Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College; cardiovascular disease research in partnership with Stanford University and the University of Oxford; and breast cancer in partnership with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, UCLA School of Public Health, and Penn Medicine.
Despite these pioneering collaborations, Diamond predicts that this technology will not become the industry standard any time soon for several reasons: HealthKit's healthcare data model and measures lack sophistication; patients remain skeptical about pharmaceutical industry research; and, importantly, when "consumers" become "human subjects," Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) issues must be addressed by ResearchKit developers.
The bottom line is that we in the healthcare industry should take note as this technology evolves — and watch the Apple Watch.
