Write an article based on this "State your purpose for adopting the policy. Describe your sampling procedure. Describe the collection process. Describe what happens to test results. Explain the consequences of failing the drug test. State the consequences of refusing to cooperate."
article: You should begin your written drug testing policy by explaining why it has been adopted. Your reasons may differ. However, it is a good idea to emphasize at the beginning of the document that you are testing students in order to protect their health and safety. You should also mention that the testing is meant to identify drug users so that you can get them help. For example, you could state, "The Board of Education is dedicated to ensuring the health and safety of students. The Board recognizes the district's role in protecting students from the dangers of illegal drug use and abuse. To support our substance abuse prevention efforts, the Board establishes a mandatory and random drug testing program for students participating in athletics. The testing program should provide a deterrent from drug use. It will also help identify current drug users and refer them to appropriate counseling and rehabilitative services." You should explain to the students how you will decide who to test. A description of your sampling procedure is particularly important if you are testing people at random. For example, you will want to explain that the selection will be done anonymously. Sample language might read: "At intervals chosen by the administration throughout the school year, five male and five female athletes will be selected on a random basis. To ensure anonymity, each student will be given an identification number at the beginning of the school year. A computer program will then select five male and five female student identification numbers at random. Only the student and athletic director will know the identity behind the number." You need to give the student some idea of what will happen if he or she is selected to give a sample. Tell them how much time they have to give the sample. Also explain who will collect it. You might state, "On the day the numbers are drawn, those students selected will be notified. They must promptly report to the designated place to produce a urine sample. They will be given a sample collector and provided a private bathroom stall where they can produce the urine sample. An adult monitor of the same gender will collect the sample once the student is finished." You should also tell students how you will handle test results. You want students to know that you are properly protecting their confidentiality. For example, you might destroy records at the end of the school year. You might also tell students that you won't report them to law enforcement if they fail. You might write, "The administrator of the test will be authorized to report results only to the school administration. Test results will be destroyed after one calendar year after the last day of the activity season, except with respect to students who have tested positive." "The district shall not release test results to law enforcement authorities." You need to let athletes know what will happen if they fail the drug test. Explain in detail your policy, including expectations of receiving drug counseling. Use bolded letters and underlining to bring home the consequences of failing a drug test. You don't want students to claim that they had no idea about the consequences. Athletes may try to avoid taking the drug test. You should treat the refusal as a failure. Accordingly, you should explain to the student that any refusal to give a urine sample will count as a "positive" drug test. One school uses the following language: "Failure of the student-athlete to cooperate with the testing policy shall be the equivalent of a 'positive' test result. That is to say, failure to appear for the testing process, failure to produce a test sample, or attempting to alter or destroy the test sample shall be treated as a 'positive' test result."

Write an article based on this "Try diversion feeding. Hang some suet in a small suet wire cage several feet from the feeder, in the squirrels' trees."
article: It doesn't always work that well, but if you can't beat the squirrels, at least enjoy them! Get a squirrel feeder and give them a little corn or some critter munchies. They can be very entertaining when pursuing their own food. If you prefer the entertainment value, make the feeder difficult to reach and enjoy their gymnastics trying to reach it. Suet is very cheap and it bribes the squirrels to eat the suet, which can help encourage them to leave the bird feeder alone. Once again, the entertainment factor will be high.

Write an article based on this "Ask for her number. Ask in person. Accept the outcome. Be direct. Plan a thoughtful and fun date."
article:
Before you ask her out, you will want to have a way to contact her first. If you don't already have her number, ask her if you could have it so you can call or text her sometime. If you don't see her often in person, you could reach out to her via social media to ask. You might say something like "I wanted to know if maybe we could talk or text sometime? If so, I'd like to have your number." If possible, make sure you ask her on a date in person. This will typically be received better, will be taken more seriously, and is more romantic than asking via phone or text. Try to identify a time when the two of you can be alone and ask her at that time. You could even text her something like "hey, are you gonna be around at 1PM today? I have something to ask you." Her response to you may be positive or it may be negative. Either way, you should work to accept the outcome. If she accepts your offer to take her out, then great! Work on planning a nice date for her. However, if she states that she is not interested, that is okay, too. Move forward and consider other options. Respect her privacy. She may be LGBT but not want others to know. If she communicates this to you, do not out her. Allow her to do that on her own terms. Avoid statements like "wanna hangout?" This could be construed by her as a completely friendly invitation to hangout in a non-romantic way. If you have intentions to date her, then you will need to be much more clear with her. Say something like "I was wondering if I could take you on a date this weekend to a new restaurant downtown." If she does accept your offer to take her on a date, you should now begin planning or finalizing your plans on where you will take her. It is nice when you do all of the primary planning for the date but find a way to include her interests and likes, as well. Ask her if she has any dietary restrictions so that you know what kind of restaurants to take her to or to stay away from. If you pick dinner, allow her to pick the movies.
