Q: Any adoption agency that you work with will want you to demonstrate that you are in good health. If you have a chronic health condition you will need a letter from your doctor stating that you are physically capable of caring for a child. Some states in the U.S. will also need a doctor's word that you will likely live to see the child reach the age of 16. If you have ever been on medication for a mental illness you will need a doctor's letter stating that you are mentally stable. All members of the household must also be considered mentally stable by a medical professional. If you are pursuing an independent adoption, you might need to provide your attorney with this information. In the US, laws vary from state to state, but independent adoptions are typically bound by the same regulations as agency adoptions. Typically, you will need local and federal clearance to adopt a child. This will vary from country to country. In the U.S., for example, you will be subject to a background check by both your state and the FBI. If you have an arrest on your record, you will need to write a letter explaining it. In some cases, the court might require some type of rehabilitation process. Some criminal charges might keep you from ever adopting a child. For example, you would not be allowed to adopt with a history of child abuse. In order to adopt, you will probably need to be able to demonstrate that you are financially stable. This is an important indicator that you are capable of caring for a child. Depending on where you live, an agency will perform an assessment of your finances. There is generally not an income minimum that you have to meet, but you will need to show that you don't have severe financial problems. You will also need to provide proof of comprehensive health insurance coverage. The agency will want to know some personal information about you. This isn't meant to be invasive, it's simply a way to help make sure the child would be going to a good home. You'll need to provide details about your marital history, as well as background information about every member of your household. In some cases, you might also be asked to provide letters of support from close friends or family. These letters will be a great way for you to showcase what a great parent you will be! For an independent adoption, your attorney should help you through this process.
A: Provide evidence of good physical and mental health. Share your criminal history. Disclose your financial information. Give information about your home environment.

Article: As noted above, one widely-spread home remedy for "cleansing" the body of THC is to sweat it out - usually via exercise, but sometimes via sauna. The reasoning behind this method is that THC is stored in the body's fat cells, so sweat-inducing, fat-burning activities will cause the THC to be excreted through sweat. In fact, there is no hard evidence supporting this claim. While exercise can boost the body's metabolism and thus might logically decrease the amount of time that THC remains in the body in the long term, some studies have actually found that exercise can raise blood THC levels in the short term, making this a bad last-minute choice. As with the method above, this method suggests eliminating fatty foods from your diet to reduce your level of body fat and, thus, the amount of tissue that THC can be stored in. For many of the reasons above, this method can also be classified as unsupported by hard evidence. Since there is no shortage of people looking for a quick way to pass a drug test, certain opportunistic companies selling supposed "detox" kits have capitalized on this captive market. Usually, these detox kits contain a regimen of pills or supplements designed to "cleanse" your system of THC and its metabolites before your tests. There is no scientific evidence supporting these companies' claims that vitamins or supplements can remove THC from your system. Any testimonials of testing negative after taking such supplements should be regarded as occurring in spite of, rather than because of the supplements. One widely-circulated rumor regarding hair tests is that washing with a specially formulated (usually fairly expensive) shampoo can eliminate THC from the hair. In fact, no shampoo has been scientifically proven to eliminate THC. In addition, some "home remedy" versions of this method recommend creating a solution from chemicals like bleach which can potentially irritate your scalp. When it comes to marijuana tests, use a healthy amount of discretion whenever rubbing strong chemicals into your hair - just as you normally would.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't try to "sweat it out". Don't bother eliminating body fat via diet. Don't waste money on a marijuana "detox" kit. Don't ruin your hair with special shampoos or solutions.

Problem: Article: Package directions for ranitidine tablets generally recommend that the medication be taken with water. Some prescription strength tablets may even be dissolved or mixed into water. Check your prescription packaging for details. Doctors and nurses typically suggest that ranitidine should be taken around meal time. If you are taking it to prevent a condition that is brought on by food, such as heartburn, it's best to take the medication half an hour to an hour before eating. Otherwise, taking the medication with or right after the meal is just fine. What qualifies as too much depends on your health and your condition, so talk to your doctor about your maximum daily dosage. Unless otherwise expressly instructed by your doctor, don't exceed the maximum daily recommended amount indicated on the package. While many users experience no side-effects, ranitidine has been known to cause headaches, dizziness, sleep problems, nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, and constipation. Talk to your doctor if taking ranitidine brings on any of these symptoms. If you have serious kidney problems, check with your doctor before taking this medication.
Summary: Take it with water. Use it right before or after eating. Do not take too much.

Q: Once your cat has linked the clicker and a treat, pick a time when it is attentive but relaxed. Just before you would normally feed your cat is a particularly good time, because the promise of treats to a hungry cat will sharpen its responses. Work in a peaceful place with few distractions so that the cat concentrates solely on you. Press your clicker and give the cat a treat to remind it of the connection between the clicker and the food. Gently lift one of your cat's front paws. It's a good idea to lift the same paw every time. The cat will learn the trick more easily if you are consistent. While holding the paw in your hand, press your clicker with the other hand, and then give your chosen command-word for the trick, such as "shake." Then give the cat a treat. Release the cat's paw and give it a couple of nice pets. This further reinforces that you are pleased with the cat's behavior, and makes the training experience more pleasurable for the cat. Repeat this cycle as many times as the cat is willing during a period of about five minutes. If the cat spontaneously lifts the correct paw at any time during the training, immediately click, say the command and reward. This sends a strong message that the behavior you require is to lift the paw. You want your cat to enjoy these sessions. If the cat seems uncooperative or disinterested, don't force this issue. Let it wander off and try again another other time. Later in the day, or the next day, repeat the entire process. Lift the cat's paw if it fails to do so on its own, and also immediately click and offer a treat when the cat does it spontaneously. It may take several sessions before your cat starts to raise its paw without you taking it first, and several more before it will do it on command. When the cat starts to frequently lift its paw on its own, try giving the command "shake" without the click. When it places the paw in your hand, then click and reward. The click promises a reward, and the command tells the cat the required action to get it. Your goal is to get the cat to respond to "shake" without the click because it associates the command with a treat. Eventually, it will become unnecessary to give a reward each time the trick is performed. However, do reward the cat at least every three to four times so it doesn't get disheartened. Always conclude each session with a treat. Ending the session with a treat gives the cat consistent, positive reinforcement of the desired behavior.
A:
Choose a time and place to train your cat. Click and reward. Take your cat's paw. Click, command, and treat. Release the paw and pet the cat. Repeat the process. Wait, then repeat. Command before the click. Reduce the treats over time.
