Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Realize that a heroic action is voluntary. Understand that heroic acts are not performed for personal gain. Realize that you take a risk when you act heroic.

Answer: Many people believe that when you engage in a heroic action, you are doing so voluntarily and not because you are obligated to do. This means, for example, that you act on your own accord, and not at the behest of another individual or organization. When you act heroic, you are not doing so to feel better about yourself or for material gain. To most people, a heroic act is selfless and done in service to another individual or a community. When most people think of a hero, they think of someone who has risked their quality of life, social standing, or physical health and comfort to help someone else. For example, acting heroic can involve taking a psychological, social, or material risk as you perform an action in the service of another. Many view risk as a defining characteristic of acting heroic.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Meet with a lawyer. Identify which substances you will test for. Determine who you will test for drugs. Decide how often you will test for drugs. Discuss the consequences of a positive drug test. Determine who will handle the urine sample. Choose who will administer the test.

Answer: Although federal law allows student-athletes to be drug tested, your state constitution might not. In some states, such as Pennsylvania, the state's Supreme Court has said that schools can require drug tests only if there is a showing of specific need. There is no easy way to find out your state's law without seeing an attorney. It is difficult for non-lawyers to find court opinions, but a lawyer can find that information quite easily. A lawyer will be helpful in other ways. For example, the lawyer can look over your draft policy and offer suggestions. You can get a referral by contacting your state or local bar association. Once you have a referral, call the lawyer and schedule a consultation. Before you can begin testing for drugs, you need to identify which drugs you will test for. Any athletic organization you belong to might specify which drugs you have to test for. If you are designing a collegiate-level drug testing policy, then you need to adhere to your collegiate association's requirements. The NCAA, for example, has a list of banned substances you must test for. Your athletic director can get this information from the NCAA. If you are a high school, then your athletic conference might have a list of banned substances. Contact your conference. If your athletic conference does not require that you test for certain drugs, then you will need to come up with a list on your own. It is common to test for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, PCP, and opioids like heroin and prescription pain relievers. You could also test for alcohol and steroids. Before drafting your drug testing policy, you need to decide which student athletes you will test. Typically, you can test the following: An entire athletic team. This is the most comprehensive testing, although it can be the most expensive, depending on the size of the team. You can test at the very beginning of the season, as a precautionary measure to catch anyone who is doing drugs. Random sampling of a limited number of athletes. This type of sampling can act as a deterrent for the entire team. Because any athlete could potentially be tested, there is an incentive not to use drugs in the first place. Any athlete you reasonably suspect has done drugs. If a student is arrested for drug possession, then you would have reasonable suspicion to ask the student to take a drug test. All of the above or any combination. You also need to decide how often you will test. You need to consider the costs of extensive testing versus the deterrent effect of the tests. Teams usually test in the following manner: Periodically. Periodic, unannounced testing is a good way to deter drug use. You may select five male athletes and five female athletes during each random testing period. At the start of the season. You might want to test the entire team before the start of the season, in order to weed out people with drug or alcohol addictions. Before letting an athlete back on the team. If someone has been suspended for drug use, then you might require a test before you welcome them back. At regular intervals, if the student has had at least one positive drug test. As a condition for letting someone back on the team, you could test them regularly. You also need to decide what will happen to the student if he or she tests positive. You will need to include this information in your written drug testing policy, so you might as well decide beforehand what consequences the student will face. Remember, the purpose of drug testing isn't merely to "punish" students for doing drugs. Instead, you want to get them the help they need. You can have a "multi-strike" policy. For example, after the first violation, you can suspend the student-athlete for a portion of the season (e.g. 20%) and recommend that he or she meet with a drug counselor. After the second violation, you could suspend the student from a larger portion of the season (e.g., 50%). You could also require the student to undergo weekly or random drug testing for the rest of the season. After the third violation, you could permanently bar the student from participating for the remainder of the season. Alternately, you could also simply have a "one-strike" policy and end the student's participation in athletics for the remainder of the season. You need to designate someone to collect the urine sample and keep it safe until it is taken to the tester. Typically, you should have a man and a woman serve as monitors. You also need to establish a chain of custody. Come up with a protocol for labelling the test sample. For example, the monitor who collects it can write the student identification number on the specimen container. Then the monitor can give the sample to the other monitor. The second monitor will write the student identification number in a log. You can store the urine samples in a refrigerator in a locked room until testing. If you are delivering a sample to a lab, then come up with procedures for delivering it to the lab. For example, you might have a monitor take samples to the lab and have the lab sign a document that they received the sample from you. In this way, you create a chain of custody. You won't be able to implement a drug testing program for free. Accordingly, you will need to discuss who will perform the testing and also budget for that purpose. On average, a student drug test can cost $10-30 per specimen. For example, you could purchase FDA-approved drug testing kits and perform on-site testing. If you get a positive result using an on-site kit, then you should send the sample to a lab to confirm the positive result. Alternately, you could send all samples to the lab to be tested. This would be the more expensive option. At the lab, a Medical Review Officer will review the results and contact the school administrator to confirm a positive result.

Answer: Transfer the shrimp from their containers to a colander, placing a plate underneath to catch water.

If you need to thaw shrimp quickly, turn on your sink's faucet to warm water. Leave the shrimp under the warm water until they become soft to touch and have thawed completely.
