INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are considering getting an emotional support dog, you should discuss your options with your mental health practitioner. They should be able to advise you about whether an emotional support animal can help with your condition.  You will need the support of a mental health professional to get official documentation for the animal. If your doctor or therapist doesn't think you need an emotional support dog, then consider not getting one or finding a different mental health professional. In order to have your support dog allowed in no-pet housing or on board a plane, you will need a letter from your mental health professional. This letter will state clearly that you need to have your dog with you for mental health reasons.  The letters for housing and flying are slightly different. The letter for housing does not need to describe the actual mental disorder you need your pet for. The letter for flying does need to give a specific diagnosis and reason for needing the support dog. If you need an emotional support dog but you don't want to meet with a mental health professional in person, there are online services that can help. There are a variety of websites that allow you to get a letter of need from a mental health professional through an online assessment.  You will be asked to fill out an online survey that assesses your need for an emotional support dog. Your survey will be evaluated by a mental health professional. They will provide you with a letter of need if they determine you would benefit from an emotional support animal. The cost of getting this kind of service should be between $50 and $200.

SUMMARY: Discuss emotional support animals with your mental health professional. Ask for a letter of need. Consider using an online service.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There should be a top layer and a bottom layer.

Go to the websites of airlines that appeal to you and find their “careers” page. Make a list of all the jobs that appeal to you, and figure out whether you meet their requirements before proceeding. Some cities host flight attendant “open houses” to give potential flight attendants the chance to learn more about the career and meet employers. Do an online search to find out if there’s an open house coming up near you. Most airlines will require that you submit an application with your basic information, a resume, and sometimes a cover letter. Make sure your application materials are clear and well-written and stress your customer service experience.  It may be a matter of days or as long as several weeks before you receive a telephone call or an email from the airlines to whom you have submitted an application. Most major airlines have only one city in the United States where they conduct interviews, so you may have to travel to your interviews. Know what makes each airline unique, and be prepared to discuss the qualities that make you right for this particular airline during your interview. Airlines are quite selective when it comes to hiring flight attendants; the right candidates must have a special mix of cool-headedness, endurance and the ability to provide excellent customer service. Show that you’re personable, responsible, and that you care about people’s safety and comfort. Be personable and don't forget to smile. Know that many airlines conduct the first interview via video submission. Many interviews consist of two parts:  In the first part, your customer service skills will be tested with a written examination. If you pass, the second part of the interview will test whether you have good leadership skills. You'll be asked how you would handle different scenarios that could occur while working a shift in the air. For example, what would you do in an emergency if the aircraft started to descend?  Or how would you handle a drunk passenger? Use anecdotes to illustrate times when you handled a situation that required acting as a leader while others were anxious and stressed. If you’re hired for a position, you’ll have to undergo a medical exam before the airline makes it official. Find out what the exam will entail and make sure you’ll be able to pass it. Every airline has a slightly different system for training flight attendants. You may be required to take an online course as well as do field training on a plane. You'll receive training regarding how to handle an emergency landing and evacuate a plane as well as how to answer customers' questions and operate the drinks cart. Depending on the airline, you may also receive instruction on how to make announcements to passengers. You can take steps to prepare for this by learning your airport codes and understanding the 24-hour clock.  The four- to six-week training period is described by many as being difficult, but rewarding. Learn from your mistakes and always maintain a positive demeanor. Remember that every flight attendant started out as a rookie. You have a lot to learn, and a lot to look forward to. It's essential that you pass the training period in order to move into full-time status as a flight attendant. If you do not pass, your contract will be revoked. You may reapply after six months to a year, depending on the airline policy.

One-sentence summary -- Research airlines to find job openings. Apply to open jobs. Ace your interviews. Pass the medical exam. Excel during the training period.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As with homemade toothpaste, tooth powder can be made using a variety of recipes.  Often these natural products may sound a bit baffling — clay on your teeth? — so understanding the reasoning behind the ingredients in a sample tooth powder recipe is important:  Bentonite clay: this natural clay can bind to toxins in your body — including the mercury that may be found in dental fillings.  It is also rich in materials that can nourish teeth and gums. Baking soda: baking soda is a wonderful natural abrasive, and its alkaline qualities neutralize damaging acid. Sage: sage is a natural tooth-whitener and astringent. Xylitol: this natural sweetener is an important pH neutralizer and will help make homemade tooth powder more palatable. Be aware that xylitol is toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of your pet's reach. Sea salt: sea salt contains tooth-strengthening minerals and can alleviate gum inflammation. Don't use too much salt as large amounts may lead to swollen gums. Peppermint: peppermint has antibacterial, antiseptic, and pain-relieving properties in addition to its breath-freshening qualities. Use a non-metal spoon as some metals may react with your ingredients.  Mix 2 tablespoons bentonite clay, 2 tablespoons baking soda, 1 tablespoon dried, finely ground sage leaf, 1 tablespoon xylitol, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Drip 15 to 20 drops of peppermint essential oil into the mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Place in a container or jar with a tight-fitting lid, or consider placing in a squirt-top container (the grain of your mixture will be fine enough to "squirt").  Avoid metal containers. Store in a dry location. Dip your toothbrush in the powder, or squirt from your squirt-top bottle onto your damp toothbrush.  Use just as you would commercial toothpaste.

SUMMARY:
Recognize the benefits of tooth powder ingredients. Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly. Apply the dry mixture to your toothbrush.
