Q: 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.”
A: 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.

Q: Otherwise all your efforts may be in vain! Go to bed with an empty or dry stomach. Do not eat 3 hours before going to bed and do not drink 2 hours before going to bed. If you do, an episode of acid reflux will be even more likely. Avoid lying down after eating, too. Wait for at least 3 hours before lying down after eating to make sure that food is digested already. It gives your body time to empty the stomach, too. Fatty foods, such as fried foods and fast food meals stay longer in the stomach and are generally heavy and difficult to digest. The longer stay and more content in the intersection between the stomach and food tube promotes acid reflux.  Chocolates are high in fat and caffeine, which is also bad for acid reflux. It is also high in cocoa which prompts more acid production in the stomach and acid reflux. Fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, garlic, and onion are all known acid-reflux triggers. Chewing gum increases the production of saliva, nature’s gift for acid reflux patients. If you know you're about to consume something you shouldn't, bring a pack of gum with you to potentially offset the complications. Be careful not to choose the mint flavour though. Mint promotes acid reflux by momentarily relaxing the muscle valves and increasing acid production in the stomach. When your clothes are tight, pressure is put upon your stomach. This added constriction of the abdominal area encourages stomach acid to work its way into your esophagus, leading to acid reflux. If you're engaging in a heavy meal or eating foods that are known to trigger your acid reflux, be sure to stay away from tight clothes (including underwear) that may exacerbate the problem. and orange juice. Coffee keeps a person perky by injecting caffeine into the system. This caffeine also stimulates the acid production inside the stomach. Hyperacidity makes it easier for back flow of stomach contents. Anything that aids in acid production should obviously be avoided (like orange juice).  Orange juice and other citrus drinks are high in vitamin C or ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid raises the acidity level in the stomach further and promotes acid reflux. Caffeinated teas and sodas should also be avoided to lower acid production in the stomach. . Physical activity will improve the symptoms of acid reflux by decreasing the compression of the stomach. The key is to get 30 minutes of physical activity a day. This 30-minue goal can be divided into multiple sessions. For example, 10-minute walking sessions can be done thrice a day. Walking for 30 minutes every day will help accelerate fat loss. For people who find walking boring, other alternatives are gardening, swimming, walking the dog, and window shopping. . Overweight and obese individuals complain of acid reflux because the extra fat in the tummy compresses the stomach. This increases the pressure inside the stomach and forces its contents to flow back into the food tube. To reduce your acid reflux, you may want to reduce your weight. Avoid overeating to not only watch your weight but to lessen the chance of acid reflux. Eat smaller meals more often to maintain a desirable weight and avoid overloading your stomach. . Smoking is a known trigger of acid reflux. Over time, it can cause severe injury and cause esophageal cancer. Quit smoking now and feel immediate relief. There are a number of reasons you should quit smoking, apart from reducing acid reflux. If you do, you'll also reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, other cancers, and you'll see an improvement in your hair, skin, nails, and teeth.
