Problem: Article: If only one of your tubes is blocked, and you are otherwise healthy, your doctor may suggest a course of fertility drugs  like clomiphene, Femera, Follistim, Gonal-F, Bravelle, Fertinex, Ovidrel, Novarel,Antagon, Lupron, or Pergonal. Several of these drugs (Lupron, Pergonal) shut down the pituitary gland so you can control it with medication. They may be used in combination with other drugs, which cause your pituitary gland to release follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), thereby increasing the likelihood that you will ovulate and become pregnant (using the open fallopian tube).  Note that this treatment will not work if both your fallopian tubes are blocked. If this is the case, you’ll need to begin with more aggressive treatment options. The most common risks of taking fertility drugs are multiple pregnancy and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS occurs when your ovaries become filled with too much fluid. If your doctor thinks you are a good candidate for surgery, they may recommend a laparoscopy to open blocked tubes and remove any existing scar tissue. Laparoscopic surgery does not always work.  The success of your procedure will depend on your age and the cause and extent of your blockage.  If your blocked tube is relatively healthy, you have a 20 – 40% chance of getting pregnant after surgery. The procedure will not be painful because you will be under general anesthesia. Risks of laparoscopic surgery include bladder infection and skin irritation around the surgery site.  If you have a particular kind of blocked fallopian tube known as hydrosalpinx, in which the tube fills with fluid, you may not be a good candidate for surgery. Discuss your options with your physician — they may recommend removing the tube. This kind of surgery increases your risk of future ectopic pregnancies (in which the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus). If you do get pregnant after your laparoscopy, your doctor should follow your progress closely and watch for signs of an ectopic pregnancy. Salpingectomy involves removing part of your fallopian tube. This procedure is done when a tube has a buildup of fluid called hydrosalpinx. This procedure is done before undergoing  an attempt at in vitro fertilization (IVF). If the end of the fallopian tube is blocked due to hydrosalpinx, a salpingostomy is performed.  This procedure creates an opening in the fallopian tube near the ovaries.  It is common for tubes to become re-blocked by scar tissue following this procedure. If you have a blockage that is close to your uterus, your doctor may recommend selective tubal cannulation – a medical procedure done by inserting a cannula through the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tube.  The cannula is used to open the blocked portion of the fallopian tube.  This is an outpatient procedure and less invasive than laparoscopic surgery. It is done by hysteroscopy, in which your doctor inserts a thin tube with a camera, which allows your doctor to see inside your uterus. You may or may not need general anesthesia. Tubal cannulation is not recommended if you have other conditions such as genital tuberculosis, previous fallopian tube surgery, and severe damage or scarring in your fallopian tubes.  Potential risks of this procedure include tearing of your fallopian tube, peritonitis (infection of the tissue around your organs), or an unsuccessful restoration of your fallopian tube function. If these treatments do not work (or if your doctor thinks you are not a good candidate for these treatments), you still have options for becoming pregnant. The most common of these options is IVF, in which doctors fertilize an egg with sperm outside your body, then insert the resulting embryo or embryos into your uterus. This method bypasses the fallopian tubes, so blockages do not present a problem.  The success of IVF depends on many different factors including your age and the cause of your infertility.  IVF is also very time consuming and expensive and can be very difficult emotionally for patients.  Risks of IVF include ectopic pregnancy, multiple births, premature delivery and low birth weight, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, miscarriage, and stress due to the emotional, mental, and financial burden.
Summary: Ask your doctor about fertility drugs. Consider laparoscopic surgery. Discuss the possibility of a salpingectomy  with your doctor. Try selective tubal cannulation. Move on to in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Problem: Article: If you are hiring a DJ, getting refreshments catered, getting professional help with the decorations, or hiring a professional photographer, start gathering quotes at least one month in advance.  Ask about any surcharges or equipment fees, as well as hourly rates. Inquire about what your vendors will supply, and what you are expected to have. For example, check with your DJ to see if they provide the sound system, or if you will need to rent one from elsewhere. Contact at least three options for every vendor to ensure that you get competitive pricing. Your budget will dictate much of what you can and cannot do. Talk to your student government treasurer to better understand how much money your committee has to spend on the dance.  Ask your faculty adviser to verify the budget. See if the school will contribute anything outside of the student government money. Plan your budget to encompass everything you will need. Use the quotes you got from your vendors as well as budget plans and receipts from previous years to figure out what the dance will cost. Do not let your budget exceed the amount you have available. Revisit your budget often to ensure you are on track. If your budget is not enough to cover the cost of the dance, create a fundraising plan with your committee. Explore multiple options both on and off campus.  Host bake sales on campus during lunch periods as well as before and after school. Work with other student groups to raise money by hosting events such as a car wash. Events that let you reach out into your community give you more opportunities to bring in cash. Ask local restaurants if they offer fundraising nights. Some restaurants may offer programs that donate a certain percent of profits for the night to a student organization. Partner with a local eatery and spread the word via flyers, emails, and social media.
Summary: Get quotes. Make your budget. Fundraise.

Problem: Article: In common usage, especially in the United States, municipal or municipality, refers to a city or town. However, in the realm of international law, municipal refers to any sovereign entity, including countries, states, counties, provinces, cities, and towns. In short, municipal refers to the internal law of a sovereign government. There are two primary forms of municipal, or domestic, law. The first is civil law, composed of the statutory law and regulations to administer those laws. Statutes are passed either by the legislative bodies of the state or by popular vote. Domestic law is also formed by the common law, which is law handed down by the lower and upper courts of the country. Common types of municipal law are criminal statutes, traffic laws, and government regulations. Basically, municipal law regulates the relationship of citizens with the government. Civil and common law are enforced in very different ways. For example, law enforcement agencies, ranging from local police to the federal investigative branches, have jurisdiction over civil criminal statutes. On the other hand, most common law, often called judge-made law, is referred to during legal issues such as contract law or disputes between domestic businesses.
Summary:
Define municipal law. Familiarize yourself with the basics of municipal law. Understand the enforcement mechanisms of municipal law.
