Article: One of the biggest effects alcohol has on you is to limit your inhibitions. If you are typically worried about how people think about you, drinking may help you relax and stop worrying. This also means some of your base instincts may be revealed. If you are holding back a temper it may flare up out of control when you are intoxicated. If you know you have an issue like that, you need to work not only on your self-control, but also try to change your natural inclinations. If you are an angry drunk, you may find that you tend to be mad during the day. If that's the case and you want to act sober, you may consider anger management classes. There it's possible to learn techniques to avoid becoming angry in the first place. When your judgement is impaired by alcohol, your sober friends may be able to tell your state by your tells. Ask them to recount changes in your behavior. See if they would be willing to give you examples. Commit these changes of behavior to memory. You will need to work on hiding them to act sober. One way to ask your friends about your drunken behavior is to ask what type of drunk you are. Even if they do not have specific examples of your odd behavior they may have an overarching sense of how you are. Happy drunks tend to be very jovial the more alcohol they consume. Angry drunks tend to be mean and problematic. There are many other types but this would get the conversation going. You likely know how you normally behave too. If you record yourself when you are drunk, you may see more than your friends do. This could allow you to confirm your friends' observations if you think they are unbelievable. Furthermore, you will have clear documentation of your odd behavior. This will give you a good starting point when trying to identify your tells. You don't have to do this by yourself or even much of the time. You may have a friend record you with their phone when you aren't looking. You may even use your phone to take an audio recording to see how you sound later when you are sober. If you don't want people to know you are drunk, you have to stop acting abnormal. Drunk people can often be identified by their unique behaviors. Asking friends about your odd behavior or viewing/listening to a recording will give you information. Your goal is to identify your tells and write them down. This gives you a list of things to work on. Some tells you can avoid through practice. You have to maintain some level of non-drunkenness though. Once you have a list to work on, get drunk. In your drunken state, try to act as normal as possible. You will have to look at your list of tells and avoid doing any of those abnormal behaviors. If that's too difficult, you may be too drunk. Scale down your drinking for now until you get the hang of acting sober at a lower state of drunkenness. Keep in mind that the more drunk you are, the harder it will be to hide your tells. If you keep drinking, eventually you will not be able to hide it. Not all tells can be avoided. You will want to avoid giving people the opportunity to observe those aspects. For example, if you know you have alcohol on your breath, don't get too close.

Article: Clomid is classified as an ovulatory stimulant used by women with fertility problems. It works by binding to the estrogen receptors in your body, blocking them from producing, and causing your body to think you have low estrogen. This in turn causes your body to release the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This reproductive hormone causes the your body to produce more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which helps encourage egg production in the body. FSH stimulates the development of the follicles, which are the elements that contain the eggs in your ovaries. A doctor may prescribe you Clomid for a few different reasons. Clomid is used when you have an infertility condition in which you cannot ovulate, which means you cannot produce or release a mature egg. Indications that you may have issues with ovulation include absence of your period or having irregular periods. One common condition Clomid is used for is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS symptoms include irregular periods, excess facial and body hair, acne, and male pattern baldness. This condition can also cause cysts on your ovaries. There are different medications used to treat the symptoms of PCOS, but Clomid is used as first line treatment for infertility resulting from PCOS. Do not use if you are pregnant. Generally, your doctor will do a pregnancy test before prescribing Clomid. Your doctor should advise you about which concentrations of Clomid to use. However, in most cases, the starting dose is 50 mg by mouth daily for 5 days, starting on the 5th day of your cycle. If that does not induce ovulation, the dose may be increased to 100 mg by mouth daily for 5 days on the next cycle. The treatment can change from one cycle to the next, especially if there is no increase in ovulation. Do not increase or decrease dosage on your own. Make sure you always follow your doctor's instructions about dosage. There are a few common side effects of Clomid. It may cause some common mild side effects such as flushing or an overall feeling of warmth, upset stomach including nausea and vomiting, breast tenderness, headache, dizziness, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and blurry vision. This medication may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can occur during or after treatment. OHSS, while serious, is rare. OHSS may cause serious and dangerous issues such as fluid build up in the abdomen and chest. Get medical help right away if you develop severe pain or swelling, rapid weight gain, nausea, or vomiting. If you have severe vision issues, swelling of your abdomen or shortness of breath contact your doctor right away. Although Clomid can help with ovulation, you have to be careful with the medication. Clomid should not be used for more than six cycles. If you have used Clomid for 6 cycles and have not become pregnant, your doctor may recommend other options such as hormone injections or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Ovarian cysts may form from ovarian overstimulation. An ultrasound may be performed to look for ovarian cysts before beginning another Clomid treatment cycle. Long-term use of clomiphene, the medicine in Clomid, may increase the risk of ovarian cancer, but there are some recent studies that do not support this.

Article: Cut along the sides of the duct tape to even out the edge. Use a ruler to help guide you and make a straight edge. Don't cut too much off, as that will make your wallet too small. For a shorter wallet that will more snugly fit skinny American dollar bills, make your rectangle no smaller than 6 by 8 inches (15 by 20 cm). Cut pieces of tape that are the height of the sides of the pocket you've just made. Place a piece on each end, folding it over the cut edge and around the back. Smooth it out with your fingers. The edges should be up against each other when you wrap the tape around them.
