INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're at any kind of party or gathering, or even a one-on-one conversation, it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a short-term goodbye much easier.  Notice if the crowd seems to be dwindling. If more than half the people have left, it might be a good time to leave. Find the host, or your friends, give a wave to the room, and leave. Try not to add too much emphasis to your leaving - this could make them feel as if you are desperate to get out. Leave when you want. If you know you won't be able to stay until the end then you could perhaps speak to them beforehand or at the beginning of the party. You don't need to wait for any special signal. If you're ready to go home, or ready for the conversation to move along, say, "Well, I'll be going. See you all later!" Overstaying your welcome is rude, but it can often be difficult to distinguish. People don't like telling you that they'd like you to leave, so try to watch for signals. This may be some other family members starting to pack up or the fact that there is hardly anyone left. If the host of a party starts cleaning up, or withdraws from the conversation, gather your friends or belongings and make your exit. It's also time to leave if someone starts checking their watch or seems otherwise restless. Even saying, "See you at school tomorrow," or "Can't wait to see you again at Christmas" keeps the goodbye light and focused forward. If you haven't already made plans, use it as an opportunity to make them. Even saying, "See you soon" suggests just that. Set up a coffee date or meet for lunch later in the week if it makes the goodbye easier, but don't commit to anything you don't want to. It's OK to just leave. It can be tempting to come up with a "good excuse" when you're ready to leave. You don't need to (lying could also make them feel hurt if they find out you didn't mean it). If you want to leave, just say, "I'm going to go now, see you later." It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that. If you want to extract from a conversation you're ready to end, "I'll talk to you later," is likewise plenty.

SUMMARY: Recognize when to leave. Watch body language. Make plans to see each other again. Tell the truth.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Not every station offers the same contests or prizes. In order to take full advantage of what radio contests have to offer, you have to listen to a bunch of different stations to see what kind of contests they're running. One station could have a call-in contest happening at 2:00 PM, and there may be another contest happening on a different station at 5:00 PM. Once the first contest is over, switch over to the next one and try again. The more contests you try to enter, the better your odds are of winning. If you can, listen to the radio at work, at home, in the car, or even the park.This way you can figure out what each stations' pattern is. See which stations offer more opportunities to win, which have better prizes, and what times the contests run during the day. In order to truly maintain a competitive edge, you have to listen to as many stations as possible and get to know them inside and out. You don't need to have a radio to be able to listen to radio stations. You can pick up stations on iPods, iPads, mp3 players, and your computer. Every station has a website and they usually have sweepstakes or contests you can sign up for on their websites where you don’t have to be listening live to win. Go to the website and register for them. This way, you can bypass the time restrictions of live giveaways and save effort. You can also sign up for their mailing lists for upcoming contests.  Occasionally, you will get extra clues or times e-mailed to you. Check all the radio stations in your area and see who is giving away what prize; you can switch stations during the day.  There are reportedly less contestants who play contests listed on radio station websites which means your chances of winning are higher. Time yourself accordingly to listen for when the call number or song of the day is announced, helping to avoid missing out at the last moment. If you have to call at 9:01 AM, then call at exactly 9:01 AM. You can use your cell phone, computer, cable box, anything that has the exact time. Usually, if a contest is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, they are going to give the signal to call, near the end of the show, to keep you listening as long as possible.

SUMMARY: Listen to various radio stations. Listen to the radio as much as possible. Research multiple winning avenues. Listen to the rules and clues carefully.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While high success rates might indicate a high-functioning fertility clinic, this might not be necessarily true. To successfully interpret a clinic’s success rates, determine if their success rates represent live birth rates rather than the percentage of cycles that end in pregnancies.  A quality clinic will list both IUI and IVF success rates by birth. These success rates should also be broken down by age and the type of technology used, i.e., IUI and IVF. You can fact check a clinic’s success rates by contacting the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). Costs vary from clinic to clinic, however the average cost of an IVF cycle is $12,000, plus an additional cost of $3,000 to $5,000 for medication. They also vary depending on your individual circumstances. When you are given a quote, it is important to know exactly what is included in that quote, i.e., diagnostic procedures and treatments.  The clinic you chose should have programs that help you pay for some of the costs. If they don’t, you might want to consider looking into another clinic. It is important to pick a clinic that is affordable and convenient for you to access, but try not to sacrifice quality for these things. When considering a clinic, determine which procedures your insurance covers and does not cover. Most women do not have any infertility coverage under their insurance, so you may need to pay out of pocket for any treatments you receive. Or, you might only have partial coverage. For example, if IVF isn’t covered by your insurance, your insurance might still cover fertility diagnostic procedures. It is important to choose a doctor that is covered in your insurance plan.   Double-check the clinic’s hospital affiliations. You want to choose a clinic that is affiliated with a hospital that your insurance covers.  When contacting your insurance provider, first, ask if your insurance covers infertility. If it does, then you can also say something like, “Before I choose a clinic, I want to make sure the doctors are covered by my insurance. I would also like to know if the hospital the clinic is affiliated with is covered by my insurance, and what other procedures my insurance covers and does not cover. Can you please give me this information?" When choosing a clinic, the size and location is also important. Since you may be visiting your clinic weekly or daily, you might want to choose a clinic that is close to your home or work. If your top choice is farther than your second or third choice, don’t sacrifice quality for convenience. Also weigh the pros and cons of the clinic’s size. A bigger clinic might have better technology, while a smaller clinic might have a more personal feel.

SUMMARY:
Analyze the clinic’s success rates. Understand the costs. Determine your insurance coverage. Consider the size and location of a clinic.
