Article in English: Controlling your noise level is the biggest part of behaving. If you are having trouble maintaining an appropriate volume, stop and take a deep breath when you feel yourself getting louder. Collect your thoughts and convey what you want to say in a respectful and reserved manner. Pay attention to your noise level and you can better control it.  Try to limit what you're saying to who you're saying it to. You rarely have to say something to an entire group. Know who you're talking to, and speak with a voice loud enough that they can hear you. Ask yourself if you really have to say something before you say it. If it's not necessary to the conversation, don't say it. Practice this technique regularly. Listen to how loud the people around you are. Match their sound level. If people are staring at you or reacting negatively, adjust your behavior. You should aim to fit in with whatever room you're in. Don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. If you try to dominate a room, you'll usually end up rubbing people the wrong way. Make your goals specific and long-term. Psychology studies have shown that abstract, big-picture thinking leads to self-control. Instead of focusing on the moment, look toward bigger goals like success in school or sports. Focusing on the future will help you behave in the present.  Being goal-oriented will teach you the art of self-denial. If you get the desire for a soda or to slack off and play video games, deny yourself. Start with small goals like denying yourself ice cream on weekdays. Move up to harder goals like making the starting basketball team. Stick with your goals and soon enough you'll be in total control of your thoughts and actions. Write down you goals and hang them up where you can see them regularly. Remind yourself of your goals regularly. Make behavioral goals too. Commit to behaving yourself in public and not having any unintended outbursts. Keep your goals positive. Get straight A's, keep practicing guitar until you're comfortable enough to play a gig, or exercise four...

Summary in Russian:

Обращайте внимание на громкость своего голоса. Развивайте такое качество как самообладание и учитесь проявлять его во всех сферах своей жизни. Уделяйте особое внимание социальным нормам и правилам, и когда возникнет желание их нарушить, то постарайтесь сдержаться. Следите за тем, что и как вы говорите.


Article in English: Controlling, difficult people often do not change easily, if at all. Even after asserting your boundaries, you may find yourself in frequent power struggles. Try to keep your expectations in check. You will probably always have issues with a controlling person, so don't expect a huge change. You can't change another person. Even if you've tried your best to address how their behavior is harmful, a controlling person will not change unless they want to. When interacting with a controlling person, remind yourself you will probably have to restate boundaries and tune out criticism. Controlling people usually have something going on under the surface. Underlying interpersonal issues, such as a tendency towards insecurity, often manifest in a need for control. When being confronted by a controlling person, remind yourself it's not about you. You are probably not doing anything wrong in the situation. The other person just has an intense need for control.  If you know why the person is controlling, try to remind yourself of this in the moment. This can help you remember it isn't about you. For example, "I know my dad is very demanding about my career choices, but his dad was the same way. He doesn't know how to trust me to make my own decisions. It's not about me." Try to look at the types of requests and demands they are making. Are they always about a particular issue, such as cleanliness or punctuality? If so, the person may just have certain preferences and needs. If the problem is more widespread, they may have control issues. This is especially important if you have to interact with a controlling person on a regular basis. For example, if you live with a controlling person or a controlling romantic partner, remind yourself self-care is necessary. When you're catering to the needs of someone who has to constantly be in control, you may neglect your own personal care.  You have a right to care for yourself. You're allowed to give yourself time to exercise, eat right, engage in fun hobbies, and do things that...

Article in English: Conventional ovens are the most basic way of roasting meat, while convection ovens will use circulating air to speed up the cooking process slightly. The cooking times for convection ovens will be slightly lower for all kinds of meat. While most meat is roasted in a traditional conventional oven, meat can be roasted in a variety of ways:  Cooking indoors in a conventional oven is the most common way of roasting meats. Meat should be roasted in the middle of the rack, at a temperature between 280 and 400 degrees F. Leaner meats should be roasted at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time while fattier meats should be roasted low and slow. Roasting pits and tandoors are very hot electric or wood-fire ovens that can be used to roast meat very quickly. In some regions, these are very common methods of commercial cooking, roasting meats at upward of 500 or 600 °F (260 or 316 °C) for a short period of time, which results in very juicy, crispy meat. Outdoor charcoal grills or smokers can be used to roast meat, though this is more typically called barbecuing, or smoking. Still, it fits the bill of cooking meat at a low temperature for a long period of time over indirect heat, provided you have a coal chimney to heat the cooking chamber. This is a particularly common way of cooking pork. Meat needs to be placed on or into some kind of dish to keep the juices from flowing all over the oven or the heat source. Typically, roasting pans are used, but different meats will need to be roasted in different vessels. If you don't have one, disposable roasting pans are available at all grocery stores, or you can fold one out of aluminum foil.  Roasting pans should be used for beef, poultry, lamb, and anything that you want to cook on top of vegetables. While the bottom of the meat won't be "crusted," cooking in a roasting pan is the easiest method. Roasting racks can be used to cook the meat on all sides. These are typically used for things like lamb, so the meat can sit up off the pan, and allow the juices to drip...

Article in English: Conventional produce is grown with chemical fertilizers and synthetic insecticides, while organic produce is grown with natural fertilizers and pesticides. Organic meats have far fewer harmful antibiotics, growth hormones, and medications that are fed to animals on conventional farms. Check labels to determine whether or not a food is organic. Organic foods should have a green USDA Certified Organic Seal. Getting enough water is essential to your health. Among its other health benefits, water helps maintain your body's fluid levels, which helps your kidneys flush out the body's main toxin, blood urea nitrogen. Drink lemon water. Add lemon, orange, or lime juice to your water throughout the day. These fruits contain citric acid, which helps your body cut down fat. Plus, adding flavor to your water can make it a lot easier to get those 8 daily cups in! Brush your teeth in between meals to prevent acid erosion from the citrus. Research has suggested that alcohol may be linked with the onset of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer in women. Though you don't have to cut it out entirely, stick to one glass of wine or beer a night, at most. . Consuming excess sugar on a regular basis can cause your blood sugar levels to spike, putting you at greater risk for heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers in the long run. Read all nutrition labels and beware of added sugars in bread, salad dressings, and sauces. These include carbon monoxide, radon, and asbestos, all of which may be found in homes.  Carbon monoxide is a potentially fatal odorless chemical that is produced from furnaces, grills, and car engines. Side-effects include headaches, dizziness, and lethargy. Consider getting a carbon monoxide detector in your home, and keep your home properly ventilated. Homes and buildings should be properly tested for asbestos and radon. . Many religions and philosophies advocate fasting as a way of refocusing the mind and developing a sense of peace. While you're detoxifying your body, try to rid yourself of...

Article in English: Conventional wisdom says you should wear a business suit to an interview, but that's not always the right choice. Dress in clothing that best reflects the dominant attire for people working in that industry.  If you're unsure about the dress code at the company where you're interviewing, take a trip down there around closing time and watch people leaving the office. See how they're dressed. It's always best to err on the side of formality. You may feel out of place if you wear a suit and everyone in the office is wearing jeans, but you likely won't make a bad impression. Even in a relatively casual industry, you should still wear clean, pressed clothing for an interview. Avoid graphic t-shirts, jeans, or anything that's frayed or ripped.  While you don't necessarily have to go out and buy new clothing for an interview, you also don't want to look like you pulled something off the top of a laundry pile. Make sure your clothing fits well. Avoid wearing anything that you'll feel the need to constantly adjust every time you move. Your interview will likely be held in a closed office or conference room with little ventilation. While you want to be clean and fresh, you don't want to overpower your interviewer. You also have no way of knowing if your interviewer has allergies. Giving your interviewer a migraine, or worse, is not going to leave them with a good first impression of you. Eye contact is one of the surest ways to convey confidence when speaking to someone. If you have problems maintaining eye contact, get a friend or family member to practice with you before the interview.  Although you want to maintain eye contact when you speak, staring can be off-putting. You might occasionally glance down at your resumé to break eye contact. Be careful about looking towards a clock or the door, or out the window – you might give off the impression that you're bored or have somewhere else you'd rather be. Good posture not only demonstrates confidence and a strong sense of self-esteem, it also makes you appear...

Article in English: Conversation holds the keys to all the beautiful women beyond her doors. The most important things to do are to open a conversation fearlessly, watch her reaction and realize that it takes lots of practice to converse comfortably. Everyone does it, most people do it frequently, including the girls you think are completely crazy attractive. Just keep it somewhere between classy and normal and you will look good.

Беседа – штука коварная, никогда не знаешь, чем она закончится и к чему приведет. Не нервничайте и не старайтесь слишком угодить.


Article in English: Conversations are like plants, you have to water them or they'll just shrivel up and die. You need to give something for a girl to respond to in a conversation, or the conversation will die. When you respond to something she has said, avoid lame replies, single-word answers, and you'll keep the conversation going.  If she asks, "What's up?" don't say, "Nothing" or "Just chilling." Be specific and give her the light-hearted details: "Helping my dad comb through ten years of strange auto-parts in the garage. We are the automotive Indiana Jones of the block. You?" If she says something funny, it's ok to write a quick "ha" or "lol" if you must, but it's a lot better to actually respond to what she says. If she sends you a hilarious picture of a bulldog on a waterslide, laugh at it, but then say, "Current mood?" or "That dog is my spirit animal" or "I suddenly feel so close to you." Even if she doesn't ask you a question directly, or say something that's pretty interesting, try to respond in a specific way to reignite the conversation. Keep following up to keep her at ease and talking. Let her talk about herself and be a good "listener" while you talk via text.  If she says, "School was so boring today" don't just let it drop, follow up. Say, "What was the most boring thing?" or "But what was the most EXCITING thing that happened in your boring day?" Get her talking by asking questions. If she's being really closed, just saying, "lol" or something to that effect, it may be better to just end the conversation instead of doing all the work yourself. She might be distracted, or just not that into talking right now. Don't get upset, just talk later. Some studies show that we're actually attracted to gentle teasing, because it creates a kind of electric energy in the conversation. If you want to inject a little tension into your texting conversations, teasing her just a little (be nice now) can make your texts a little more thrilling. If she just put up a bunch of selfies on Facebook, text her: "Scrolling through all...

Article in English: Converse shoes are a great match for flannel shirts. Several styles of boots, from combat boots to knee-high boots with heels, also work well. Opt for shoes in neutral colors so your flannel shirt is the star of the show. Avoid sandals or strappy shoes, as they’ll contrast with the cold-weather feel that flannel shirts have. If you’re sporting a flannel to the office or for a date, choose a dressier shoe to complete your look. Pumps, loafers, Oxfords, or brogues are great choices. Flannel shirts pair well with hats, especially for casual looks. Stick with a baseball cap in the warmer months or choose a beanie if the weather is colder. You could even add a straw or cowboy hat if the occasion calls for it.  A blue beanie, blue and green flannel shirt, jeans, and boots make for a smart, cozy outfit. Tuck your flannel shirt into a pair of jeans or chinos and strap on a pair of suspenders to create an outfit that’s perfect for a crisp fall day. Add a pair of boots or Brogues to finish it off. A simple necklace or bracelet are the perfect accessories for a flannel shirt. Avoid large or gaudy jewelry which could make your outfit look too busy. A pastel flannel over a white tank top, a denim mini-skirt, and a few bangle bracelets would look great for a movie date.

Article in English: Convert guilt into something empowering by being compassionate towards yourself. You are not the first to cheat—lots of others have stood in your shoes. Recognize that common thread of humanity and you won't feel so guilty for making a mistake.  You might softly caress your shoulders and back while saying “I am only human. I am not perfect. I will make mistakes.” This affirmation doesn't excuse your wrongdoing—it simply helps alleviate your suffering. You may add an addendum to the statement with something like "I did wrong, but I can try to make amends and do better in the future." Unload the painful feelings you are experiencing through a journaling activity. Doing so can help ease guilt and give you some objectivity about the situation. You may even uncover a solution while writing.  Write out in vivid detail exactly what happened. Express your thoughts and feelings about the situation. You might say, "I slept with my ex. I regret it, but I feel so guilty. I don't want my partner to find out, but I don't know how to move forward." If you are worried about someone else reading what you wrote, you might put the paper into a shredder or set it on fire. This act of destruction can also help symbolize that the cheating (and guilt) doesn't have to continue to affect you. Use your belief in a higher power to overcome guilt. You might do this by reading scripture, praying, meditating, fasting, or confiding in a spiritual advisor. Your faith may offer guidance as to how you can move forward after cheating. Following spiritual practices may give you peace and acceptance that ultimately minimize guilt. It's easy to get down on yourself about cheating, but dwelling on the past will only keep you hostage. Practice  thought-stopping when guilty feelings emerge. Rather than entertaining them, ask yourself “What now?” and try to continuously take positive action that moves you forward. For example, if negative thoughts arise about what you've done in the past, you might ask "What now?" and identify one small positive...

Article in English: Cook it on high for about 30 seconds. If it needs more time, keep cooking until it's entirely melted. Remove it from the microwave. Don't use plastic when you're cooking caramel in the microwave. The sugar gets very hot, and can destroy the bowl and cause a mess. Be sure to always use glass instead. This should be enough time for the mixture to get hot and bubbly. If it needs more time, cook it for an extra thirty seconds.  Be careful not to cook it for too long, or it could overheat and cause a mess in your microwave. Handle the bowl very carefully once you add the sugar, since it will get quite hot. Once it is no longer piping hot, transfer to a heat-proof jar or container. Store your homemade caramel in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Article in English: Cook the farro and other ingredients separately before tossing them together and serving.  Toss the cooked farro with 1/4 cup (60 ml) minced red onion, 1/4 cup (60 ml) diced tomatoes, 2 Tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil and wine vinegar to taste. Let stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour as the flavors lend. Fold in fresh parsley and fresh basil before serving. If desired, you could also add diced peppers, black olives, steamed greens, or cold poached seafood. Cook the two separately and toss together just before serving.  Small pasta, like orzo, tends to work best, but any type of pasta can be used. You can serve the dish warm or cold. Tomato-based sauces complement the flavor especially well. There are a number of dishes you can prepare with farro, beans, and cheese.  Make a type of risotto by sauteing diced onion, diced sweet peppers, minced garlic, and pinto beans. Add cooked farro and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of vegetable or chicken broth into the mixture, 1/2 cup (125 ml) at a time. Cook off each addition and served with Parmesan or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Add 2 cups (500 ml) of drained, rinsed pinto beans to cooked farro or to farro antipasto. You can also add a small amount of Parmesan cheese or toasted walnuts to the mix. Toss room-temperature cooked farro with ricotta cheese and honey to taste. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon as a garnish. Portobello and wild mushrooms can be tossed with warm cooked farro.  Pour a little olive oil into a skillet. Brown thick Portobello mushrooms or wild mushrooms with diced onion. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine. Toss with warm farro.

Article in English: Cook the ingredients until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. This should take about 15 minutes. Then, remove the pan from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes, giving the rice time to absorb the flavors. Allow it to cool to room temperature – this should take about 30 minutes. Chill the rice mixture for 8 to 12 hours. Heat it until a thermometer registers 375°F (190°C). Gently drop 2 krupuk in the oil. Fry the krupuk until they float to the surface and curl up and expand, which should take about 20 seconds. Then, turn the krupuk over and fry them until they’re pale golden – about ten more seconds. Then, transfer them to a paper towel with a slotted spoon until they drain. Fry the remaining krupuk in 3 batches in the same way. When the krupuk is cooked, cool it and break it into pieces. Do this with your fingers. This will help the rice absorb the other ingredients. Heat it until it's hot but not smoking. Then, add 2 cups of thinly sliced shallots and fry them in the heat for 1 minute. Add 2 large chopped garlic cloves to the mixture and stir-fry them for an additional 30 seconds. Add 1 lb. of sliced skinless boneless chicken breast to the mixture until the chicken is no longer pink, which should take about 2 minutes. Add 1 lb. of peeled and deveined medium shrimp, 2 minced hot red chiles, and 1 1/4 tsp. of salt to the mixture and cook them for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Add 1/4 cups of chicken broth and the ketjab manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) to the mixture and stir-fry it until the rice is heated, which should take another 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml). of Asian fish sauce and 4 sliced scallions until the mixture is combined well. Serve the Indonesian fried rice on a platter with krupuk, cucumber slices, and hard-boiled eggs.

Article in English: Cook the pastrami in your preheated oven until done and no longer pink inside. Instead of cutting the beef open, a better, more accurate way to check for doneness would be to insert a meat thermometer into the center of the beef. The internal temperature should be at least 145	degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Remove the wrapped pastrami from the oven and let it sit out at room temperature for roughly 3 hours. Place the wrapped pastrami in a large plastic freezer bag and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill thoroughly. Even though the pastrami is still wrapped in foil, the foil will not create an airtight seal as effective as a plastic bag will. For that reason, the plastic bag is highly recommended. Switch your broiler on and let it heat up for 5 to 10 minutes.  The oven rack should be about 6 to 8 inches (15.25 to 20.3 cm) from the upper heat source. Most broilers only have “on” and “off” settings, but if your settings are further divided into “high” and “low,” set the broiler to “high.” Unwrap the pastrami and place it onto a broiler pan with a raised rack. If you do not have a broiler pan, you can line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and use that, instead. Note, however, that a broiler pan is ideal because it allows more air to circulate, browning all sides evenly as a result. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes. Since the meat is cooked, you only need to worry about giving it enough time to brown. Watch carefully to make sure that the pastrami does not begin to burn or smoke. As fat renders off the meat, there is a mild risk of it catching fire in the broiler, especially if you are using a baking sheet instead of a broiler pan with a rack. Since the pastrami is broiled for such a short time, though, the risk remains quite small. Use a carving knife and fork set to shave off slices of the cooked pastrami, making each slice about 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick. The slices can be made with a regular carving knife, but if you can borrow a professional grade slicer, the process will take even quicker....

Article in English: Cook until the onions start becoming soft. This should only take a few minutes.  Pumpkin, fennel, apple, butternut squash, yam, tomato and sweet potato are also good bases if your cupboard is lacking in carrots. Don't like onions? Use leeks instead! Cover and bring to a boil. Vegetables take different times to fully cook through, obviously. Since it's all getting pureed later it's less of a deal, but you may want to start with your starchier veggies first. Carrots, potatoes, and similar dense veggies are going to take longer than, say, kale or spinach. Leafier veggies can be put in a bit later if it's something you'd like to be conscious of. When your fork easily slides into the body of the carrot, you know it's done. You're separating them now to get the solids alone -- you'll need the broth in a second. Pulse several times, then blend until pureed. Add broth as you go if the soup you are blending starts to thicken. Strain the resulting soup if you get celery strings or pieces that you don't want in your final soup. Do not fill the blender more than halfway. Do this in batches, if necessary. Cover with a lid and kitchen towel, just to be safe. Bring to a boil, and add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Really, you can add whatever spices you like! Cayenne, cinnamon, clove, cumin, garlic, nutmeg, paprika, and thyme all work swimmingly. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and strips of scallion or green onion, if desired. And be sure to serve hot and with some delicious bread and butter!

Article in English: Cook with citrus in the spring, berries in summer and apples and pumpkin in the fall. Food prepared at the peak of its freshness has unbeatable flavor and nutritional value. Instead, choose healthy ways to enhance the flavor of fruit in your cooking. For example, serve baked apples with frozen yogurt, cinnamon, walnuts and dried cranberries; or add balsamic vinegar to strawberries to bring out their natural sweetness. Fruit juice and dried fruit, when used in moderation, is a healthy addition to many meals. Cook a dish like Moroccan chicken with dried plums to boost the fiber content of the dish, or use freshly squeezed orange juice to give a citrus kick to a salad dressing. Applesauce is a great substitute for vegetable oil in muffin and bread recipes. You'll have to do some research to calculate just how much fat you can replace with fruit in your recipes, but the fruit can add the same moisture to your dishes without making your fingers greasy, so it's worth it.

Start by draining the corn of any excess liquid — you want your finished product to be soft, delicious corn kernels, not corn soup. See below for instructions.   Canned corn: Open the can with a can opener until the lid is connected by just a small piece of metal. Tip the can into the sink, keeping the lid on, and let the excess liquid drain. Remove the lid and pour the corn into a strainer, then rinse with water and allow to drain.  Refrigerated corn: Draining is less of an issue here because there will usually be less excess moisture. Toss the corn lightly in a strainer or use a slotted spoon to drain the corn. Season your corn now for a delicious taste as soon as it comes out of the microwave! Salt and pepper give the sweet corn kernels an excellent savory dimension, while butter keeps them moist and gives a smooth texture. You may use as much salt, pepper, and butter as you wish. If you're unsure, adding about one tablespoon of butter for every 12-ounce can of corn (the equivalent of about 1.5 cups of loose corn) and salt and pepper to taste should give great results. Making sure that your corn is in a microwave-safe container, transfer it to the microwave and cook it on "HIGH" or your preferred setting for about three minutes. Stop the microwave and stir every minute or so to ensure the butter and seasonings are combining well. Don't use an airtight cover or lid — you want to keep the moisture in, but if steam builds up in an airtight container, it can cause an explosion. Leave the lid oven a crack to allow excess steam to escape. Carefully remove the corn from the microwave, take the lid off, and check to see that the corn has heated evenly. If so, stir the mixture and serve immediately. If not, feel free to return it to the microwave for a minute or two. If you are cooking a large amount of corn (more than a can or two), be ready to microwave for a little extra time. In general, the more food you...

Article in English: Cooking food from scratch at home is a great way to save money on food. Even when cooking at home, many people buy pre-made meals. These are convenient but relatively expensive. Buy the ingredients and make it yourself.  Buy staple ingredients instead of pre-made meals. You will be able to make much more food for much less money, for instance, by buying a bag of uncooked rice than by purchasing microwaveable rice bags. If you eat large portions, cutting down a little can save you money. Try to save part of the meal for later. Freeze leftovers if you won't eat them right away.   Try new flavors and spices. A fish fillet or chicken breast can become a more exciting dish with a novel sauce or seasoning. Try a spice you are unfamiliar with, or a condiment from an Asian, African, or farmer's market in your area. Make a list of the food items you need. Buy only the items on that list.   Your grocery bill can double or triple if you make impulse purchases or buy things you don't really need.  Don't shop while hungry. If you make a weekly menu, use that to draw up your shopping list. Stick to the menu during the week.  Use coupons. A great way to save money is to find store or product coupons and then plan your meals around them.  If there is an excellent sale on meatballs, consider a meatball sub night. If you find a coupon for bread, it's time for  bread pudding or French toast. Certain inexpensive and healthy foods make a relatively small meal larger. For instance, adding more potatoes to a beef stew will feed more people. Other examples include rice, pasta, quinoa, and couscous. Turns out that a vegetarian diet can be cheaper than a carnivorous diet Make sure you take your supplements, or you could get deficiency diseases. Buying non-perishable items in bulk is a great way to save money. This includes pasta, canned items, dry boxed goods, common spices, cooking oils, frozen foods, and household items like toilet paper and paper towels. In the U.S., you can buy bulk items from wholesale stores like Costco.  Split...

Article in English: Cooking this recipe does not take too much time, but it does require forethought and advanced action. Before you go to start cooking, make sure your ingredients are prepped (i.e., mise en place). To make ginger-garlic paste, grate about a 2-inch (5 cm) piece of ginger and pound grated ginger with a mortar and pestle. Add the same amount in smashed garlic cloves and pound both into a paste. If you like it spicier, add 1⅓ tablespoon (20 g) fresh green chiles. You can use this paste during cooking or you can marinate the lamb in it with salt to taste for an hour prior.

Article in English: Cooking whole, raw corn on the cob is a cinch. Gather your corn (husks on) and set them in the microwave. You may place them on a paper towel or a microwave-safe plate, but as long as the husks are on and your microwave is clean, this isn't required. If you're cooking more than four ears, limit yourself to batches of four at a time — many microwaves will have trouble heating more than four at once.  Don't take the husks off yet. If you've already done this, your corn isn't ruined, but leaving the husks on will help keep the ears moist and delicious. You can wrap the ears in a paper towel if desired to duplicate the effect of the husks. Set your microwave to "HIGH" or its default cooking setting for between three and five minutes. Depending on the number of ears you're cooking, the precise cooking time can vary — one online source recommends three minutes for one or two ears and four minutes for three or four ears. Because microwaves can vary in terms of cooking strength, you may find that it's a good idea to cook a little less time than you think you need to, then check on the corn. You can always cook the corn for an extra minute or two if needed, but you can't "undo" the damage once it's overdone. After a few minutes in the microwave, the ears' outer husks may not feel terribly hot, but the insides are likely piping hot. To avoid injury, set the corn (husks still on) on a wire cooling rack for about five minutes to cool. You're ready to proceed when the silks (the stringy part inside the husk) and the tops of the leaves are cool enough to handle with your bare hands. One of the benefits of leaving the husks on (besides preserving the internal moisture of the ears of corn) is that they act like insulators, keeping the kernels fairly warm. As soon as you take the husks off, however, the kernels will start to cool much more rapidly, so wait until right before you're ready to eat to do your shucking. Be careful while you shuck the corn — the insides can still be hot. If you're unsure, peel back the husk a...

Article in English: Cooktops can be useful because you put them in an island or peninsula. They are also helpful when you want to install a built-in oven, which is easier on the back than a normal oven.  Cooktops also allow two people to work with separate appliances at the same time. Cooktops are also less visible than normal ranges because you can install them virtually flush with the countertop. Cooktops can also be easier to clean than normal ranges. If you have want to install your cooktop over an island and do not wish to have an exhaust hood then you can choose one that comes with downdraft ventilation.  This kind of ventilation brings the air from the surface to down below the cooktop. Some cooktops come with telescoping vents that rise above the cooktop while cooking and then can be pushed below the surface between meals. Traditionally gas cooktops were chosen because they provide an immediate response once lit and they can be seen for adjustments. However, modern electric cooktops also gain heat very quickly and come in very low heat versions.  You should also look at style, size, number of burners, color, cost, materials and safety features when deciding on a cooktop. Examine the cost of operation when choosing between gas and electric. You can also compare the prices of gas and electricity that will be used for your cooktop. In most cases of typical family cooking a four burner unit would be sufficient. However, if you host parties or family gatherings, or if you routinely host people at your home, additional burners could be incredibly useful. Decide on how many burners you will need for your particular uses. If you are replacing an old cooktop, check to see that the new cooktop will fit in the place of the old cooktop. If it is a different size then you should make sure there is space to cut the correctly sized hole for the new cooktop. Gas stoves can be a little more expensive to purchase but will usually cost less in the long run because fuel is cheaper than electricity. You should also consider the costs of...

Article in English: Cool water can help take the sting out of the cut. Be gentle with your wound. Scrubbing too hard can open up the paper cut further. In the absence of cool, running tap water, utilize a bulb syringe or poke a hole in a plastic bottle and squeeze. The properties that kill bacteria can also damage healthy cell tissue. While they rarely cause serious harm, they could slow your rate of healing. If the cut is bleeding a lot or it doesn't stop quickly, stop it by applying gentle pressure with a clean washcloth or bandage. Keep it clean. The air will help dry it out and within a day you’ll hardly remember it happened.

Article in English: Cool your heels for a bit first. Feelings aren’t facts, and sometimes they come and go. Before you take an irreversible step, be sure that your feelings for your best friend are actually of a romantic nature.  First, consider whether or not you strongly care for or love your friend simply because she’s a great person or is always there for you. Next, determine if your feelings are arising out of loneliness because you’re not seeing anyone, jealousy because she’s in a relationship, or fear because you  think the dynamic of your friendship is changing. Before you tell your friend how you feel, think about whether or not she will or can be receptive to your romantic feelings. Is she currently in a happy relationship in which she’ll feel blindsided by your news?   If she's in a relationship, you might try to figure out if she's happy in that relationship. If so, back off and wait until she's single again. Even if she's in an unhappy relationship, giving her some time could ensure that the two of you have a healthy start rather than you being a rebound. Reflect on your interactions with your best friend. Has she ever sent any signals that she might be interested in you, too? For instance, maybe she once said she'd date you if you weren't friends. If you’re a female, too, has she shown any indication that she’s interested in same-gender relationships? Seek out additional opinions from people who care about you. Tell people who know the two of you how you’re feeling and see if they think she feels the same way or if it's worth jeopardizing your friendship. Only get input from solid, trustworthy people and be sure you think can look at the situation objectively. Exploring a romantic relationship with a friend can be the absolute best thing ever, or the worst thing. If she’s into you as well, this may open up a brand new door that makes your existing relationship even more satisfying. If she’s not into you, this could change the dynamic of your friendship moving forward. But, if you really like her, these possible...

Article in English: Cooler months during the springtime and fall are the best to time to pick cilantro from your garden. Cilantro plants will not grow properly in warmer weather as the heat causes them to seed. Harvest cilantro early and often to encourage it to keep growing.  Once cilantro plants start to flower and produce coriander seeds, they can no longer be harvested. These seeds can be dried and used as coriander in recipes, though. Generally only the outer leaves of the plant should be removed, leaving the inner leaves to continue to grow A cilantro plant should produce new foliage appropriate for harvesting approximately every week for the duration of its blooming. Using sharp scissors or garden shears, cut the largest leafy stems of your cilantro plants just above the ground. Stems of fully grown cilantro plants are generally between 6 inches (15 cm) and 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Do not cut any stems that are smaller than 6 inches (15 cm). To make sure that cilantro plants retain their strength, trim no more than 1/3 of their mass when you harvest the herb. Losing any more of their structure would weaken the plants and possibly stunt their growth. Assess each plant visually and count the number of large stems growing from them before deciding how many to remove. To store large amount of cilantro leaves and stems, wash them and dry them thoroughly. Lay them flat and place them in a thin layer in a resealable freezer bag or airtight freezer safe container. Freeze cilantro and keep it for up to a year.  To use frozen cilantro, simply break off as much as you need and put the rest back in the freezer. If you are cooking with cilantro, use it straight from frozen in your recipe. To use the cilantro as a garnish, let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3 hours. Another way of preserving cilantro is to dry it out. Tie clusters of full cilantro stems together with twist-ties and hang them in a warm, dry room. Leave them there for several days until they are completely dried out.  Once the stems are dry, you can remove the leaves and...

Article in English: Cooler weather is scarf weather. A Burberry scarf is best matched with clothes you would wear in cooler weather, like jackets and sweaters. As such, this wardrobe addition will usually see the most action during autumn and winter, with a few appearances in the spring, as well.  When wearing a coat or jacket, opt for a more stylish variety than a casual type. Trench coats, pea coats, leather jackets, blazers, and sports jackets are all fair game. A Burberry scarf, with all its class, tends to look better with styles like these than with fluffy down ski coats, though. You can wear a Burberry scarf without donning a coat or jacket, but keep in mind that your outfit should still look appropriate for cooler weather. You can work with both short and long sleeves, but long pants or long leggings typically work better visually than shorts, capri pants, or short skirts. Since most Burberry scarves have a luxurious appearance and an interesting print, it generally works best if you avoid wearing other prints or accessories that might compete for attention. When too many separate components of an outfit stand out, they can clash.  Wearing a bold print scarf with a bold print blouse, for instance, might create an ensemble that is far too busy to please the average eye. Similarly, your accessories should work with the scarf, not against it. A simple yet stylish hat will usually work great, as will a classy pair of boots If you opt for jewelry, position the bling away from your scarf. Bracelets and rings work better than earrings, but earrings still work better than necklaces. Tuck the scarf beneath a coat or jacket, hiding most of it underneath the other piece. If the color or print of the scarf stands out well enough, you can add a chic yet subtle bit of flair to otherwise drab-colored outerwear. The way you wear your jacket and the way you tie your scarf can change the nature of this highlight. On days when you feel like leaving your jacket open, tie your scarf in a way that allows the ends to drape down over your...

Article in English: Coordinating conjunctions serve as connections within a sentence. The coordinating conjunctions in English are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So. An independent clause is part of a sentence that has its own subject and verb. It can stand on its own as a sentence. You should always use a comma when a FANBOYS conjunction connects two independent clauses.  Here is an example of a FANBOYS conjunction connecting two independent clauses: “I checked out three books from the library, but now I find it impossible to read them all.” If you removed the conjunction, each clause would stand as its own sentence. This conjunction does not connect two independent clauses: “Bai discovered he had everything he needed but a pencil.” The last part of the sentence cannot stand on its own. The presence of a conjunction does not necessarily require a comma. Only independent clauses need to have the comma between them.  For example, if your sentence joins only two words with a conjunction, do not use a comma: “Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.” If your sentence uses “for” as a preposition to join a dependent clause, do not use a comma: “I’m saving money for a Hawaiian vacation.” If your sentence uses “so” to emphasize another word, do not use a comma: “The teacher was so tired of grading bad essays.” If your sentence uses “so” in the phrase “so that,” do not use a comma: “Elena knew that she should eat her breakfast so that she would not be hungry later.”

Article in English: Coping with strong emotions can be hard, but dealing with them is a part of engaging in life. Being able to regulate your emotion and sooth your own pain is an essential part of mental wellness. Part of this is taking time every day to do things that make you feel good.  What makes you feel good will vary for each person. You probably already have activities that help you cope with emotion. Some great examples include talking with a friend, taking a walk, listening to music, or engaging in another soothing activity like a bubble bath. Be mindful of your own emotional responses to outside events. Take time to think about your reactions to difficult situations.  Instead of reacting immediately to a negative event, try to remove yourself mentally for a moment to note your emotional response. Many people find it helpful, for example, to take a couple of deep breaths, or count to ten before reacting. Think about what you are feeling without judgment. Doing this allows you the space to react in a way that is not impulsive, but that is thoughtful. Being aware of your emotions is especially helpful in navigating communication and relationships. Journaling can help you to organize your thoughts and feelings. This can increase your awareness of your own emotional reactions. It has both mental and physical benefits, such as boosting  your immune system and relieving stress. Here are some helpful journal prompts:  How are my feelings connected to this event? How are they not connected? What do these feelings tell me about myself and my needs? Am I judging my emotional response? What assumptions am I making through my judgments? Try to write in your journal for at least 20 minutes each day.

Article in English: Coping with this condition can be very difficult. It is useful to gain a clear understanding of what is going on in your body. This will help you understand how to deal with the symptoms. Endometriosis commonly affects women in their 30s and 40s, and the causes are not yet known.  Common symptoms include painful menstrual cramps, consistent pain in the low back, and pain or discomfort during and after sex. Once you have been diagnosed, work with your doctor to come up with a treatment plan. Make sure to candidly discuss your lifestyle and whether or not you plan to become pregnant in the future. Dealing with a chronic illness is very difficult. Make sure that you surround yourself with friends and family who are kind and supportive. You will likely need someone to talk to during the toughest days, so let your best friend know that she is on speed dial. It can often be helpful to discuss your condition with others who suffer from endometriosis. Look for a local support group. Your doctor should be able to provide you with some suggestions. . Your body and mind can benefit from frequent breaks. Regulating your stress levels can improve your overall physical and mental health.

Article in English: Copper jewelry should be cleaned regularly to avoid discoloration and tarnish. Each time the jewelry becomes noticeably dingy or dirty, give it a cleaning. Keep in mind, times between cleanings vary depending on the type and age of your jewelry and how often you wear it. Keep an eye on your copper jewelry and clean it as needed. Copper jewelry should be stored in a dry place as excess moisture can cause rust and discoloration. You should also store the jewelry in an airtight container or Ziploc bag to keep out extra moisture. Swimming can damage copper jewelry, resulting in the need for more frequent washing and polishing. Take your copper jewelry off before swimming in a pool or body of water to keep it clean.

Article in English: Copper tubing used for plumbing piping is available sized nominally, meaning that the outside diameter of the tubing is 1/8" (0.125 inches) larger than its stated size. In other words, 1" nominal copper tubing measures 1.125" inches in diameter. If you need to cut the pipe for your project, make sure that you use a tube cutter, clamping the pipe firmly and rotating the cutter around the pipe. It should take about 8 turns. Most nominally-sized copper tubing is available in four weights, or wall thicknesses, which is color-coded. Typically, though, residential projects will involve copper tubing of either Type L or M. Type L tubing is marked with a blue tag and is typically the most commonly used in commercial/residential installations. Type M is marked red and has the lightest wall that can be used for a pressurized system. Depending on your project, you'll probably need some combination of the following:  Male/Female adapters, which are used to join a solder pipe to a threaded pipe. Reducing adapters, which are used to go from a larger size pipe to a smaller size. Elbow joints, which are used to turn corners, typically 90 degree bends, but also available in 45 degree bends. Tees and crosses, which are used to join a branch tubing to the main tubing, using a tee, or two branches in the case of a "cross." For potable water systems, lead-free solid core solder must be used.  It is typically 95/5 (95% tin and 5% antimony), or an alloy of tin and a small amount of copper and/or silver, commonly sold in one pound rolls of 1/8" diameter wire. Solder with lead must not be used for potable water systems. This is typically a jelly with a zinc chloride or rosin cleaning component used to cover the cleaned surfaces of the copper to be soldered before assembly and heating. It is the function of the flux, upon heating, to facilitate further cleaning, exclude atmospheric oxygen, prevent re-oxidation, and to aide in wetting out the solder. Typically, a traditional electric soldering iron won't be hot enough to work with...

Article in English: Copying lines can only get you so far. If you can master shapes, you can begin to draw from imagination and improve the sense of perspective in all your drawings. Start by trying to draw 3D shapes. Adding a rough line across a circle, for example, gives you spheres seen from different perspectives depending on where you place the line. Link up the blocks to form the outlines of objects. At first start with simple or imaginary objects. You might make a table out of a series of rectangles and cylinders or a snake out of a series of circles. Once you can imagine the blocks that make up an object, you will have the creativity to draw them without having a model. Spend time observing subjects, figuring out how you can fit them into your forms. Arrange your forms to make the shape of the subject. As you go, erase and refine the lines so the subject takes shape. After you’re done, try drawing the subject from different angles. For example, a square nose with a circle cheek and triangle ears can form a side view of a horse, but there are many other perspectives. Refer back to these sketches to improve your other drawings. During a different session after correcting any mistakes on your reference, redraw your subject. At first, you can use your reference sheet. Use shapes to create a basic outline of the subject, then refine the details and clear up mistakes. With more practice, you’ll be able to draw poses from memory. Simplifications are okay and can lead to your own style. For example, it would be too time-consuming to memorize every muscle in a body.

Article in English: Coral reefs are damaged when the general environment around them declines. So, you can help protect coral reefs simply by leading a more sustainable lifestyle.  Plant trees. Trees reduce runoff into oceans, and runoff can damage coral reefs. Reduce your carbon footprint. This really matters. Increasing carbon dioxide in the air can lead to global warming, which can harm coral reefs. It's all interconnected. Ways to reduce your carbon footprint include biking to work and using a clothes line.  Use less water. This will help decrease runoff, which is a key way that coral reefs are harmed. Use organic fertilizer to avoid chemicals running into the ecosystem. Don't assume that chemicals in your garden or on your farm won't find their way back into the ocean just because you don't live near it. Some coral reefs are located near shores. They can be damaged by various aspects of land development and construction, including the building of marinas, docks, and plowing of fields.   When sediment and silt loosen because of development and construction and end up in the ocean, this can block sunlight and cause corals to die because they need sunlight to thrive. Sediment can actually bury the corals, killing them or stopping them from growing completely. Metals, pesticide, herbicide and other chemicals associated with mining, and runoff from landfills, agricultural, and urban development projects can damage corals as well as the fish around them. General worsening of the environment is an indirect way that people are causing harm to coral reefs. They are very sensitive to rising water temperatures, which cause them harm. Reducing your carbon footprint also helps stop global warming.  As little as a one-degree rise in water temperature causes coral reef damage. Coral bleaching is a key indicator that coral reefs are unhealthy, and it's been increasing since the 1980s. Algae inside the reef provide its color, and bleaching of the coral occurs when algae are either missing or die.  Warmer ocean temperatures can also spur the...

Article in English: Core-formed concrete, precast concrete panels, and ICF, or Insulated Concrete Form wall construction is essentially more waterproof than most other construction methods to begin with, meaning that it rarely needs additional waterproofing attention. That being said, the exterior walls of pre-fabbed concrete are often coated more for appearance than for weatherproofing. If you think your structure may need waterproofing, get a general contractor you trust to give you advice. He or she may suggest applying a liquid membrane and not much else, or suggest filling up any cracks or joints, instead of staging an elaborate waterproofing production. If you do decide to go ahead with waterproofing, nearly any technique you use will require your concrete walls to be in good standing. This means:  Caulking — to fill any expansion joints or larger cracks up to 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm), with a good quality polyurethane caulking. Concrete patching — to fill any joints larger than 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm), making sure the concrete patch is completely dried before proceeding.  Grinding — to smooth out any rough, uneven concrete so that your waterproofing membrane or slurry has an even surface to adhere to. With a stiff brush, some TSP (trisodium phosphate) and some water, wash away any loose material, oil, or dirt still clinging to the concrete. Most membranes like a clean surface to adhere to. Let dry before proceeding.

Article in English: Corn grilled without a wrapper will never be as juicy as the other options, and there's a risk of charring it into oblivion. When done correctly, however, the kernels will pick up plenty of flavor from the grill, caramelizing into smoky sweetness. This is also the fastest method of grilling corn. A medium temperature is the best option for your first attempt. Once you've got a feel for how the corn should end up, you can fire it up to very high heat for a quicker grill. Strip away the husks and silk. The silk will burn off on the grill, so you don't need to get every strand. Place the corn on an upper rack if you have one, to prevent charring. Keep a close eye on the corn, turning occasionally. The kernels will brighten in color, then turn brown as they caramelize. The corn is ready when there are many light brown spots, but most of the corn is still yellow.

Article in English: Corner kicks occur when the defending team plays the ball beyond their own goal lines.  This can be a great opportunity to send the ball back into play and score a quick goal.  Focus on the main concepts behind the kick, kicking technique, and teamwork to make the corner kick work for you. Send a corner kick to the box between the 18-yard line and the PK box.  Strike the lower portion of the ball with the inside of your foot. Send the ball towards your teammates who should be waiting near the goal. Your teammates should receive the ball and quickly shoot it into the net. Avoid kicking it towards the oppositions goalkeeper or other defending players. Free kicks allow you the chance to shoot the ball directly towards the goal.  However, the other team will be allowed to form a wall of players between you and the goal (though they have to be 10 yards away from the spot where you kick).  There are a few kicking strategies that you can use to overcome their defense and score a goal on your free kick.  Shoot the ball above the other players.  Strike the ball low and follow through with your kick.  Practice your aim as you won't want to shoot too high and miss the goal. You can try shooting the ball along the ground if you believe the players defending will jump up to try and stop your shot. It is possible to kick the ball around the blocking players.  This is the hardest technique and will require a lot of practice to get the proper power behind your kick and the right amount of bend in the shot. A throw in will result if the opposing team plays the ball beyond one of the side lines.  Throwing the ball in has specific rules that you will be required to follow.  However, a throw in also presents an opportunity to score a goal.  Work with your teammates and practice various methods of scoring on a throw in.  You must keep both your feet behind the sideline and throw the ball in with both arms. Throw the ball to players who are in a good position on the pitch. Try to throw the ball at your teammates feet, allowing...

Article in English: Corns and calluses are not the same thing, therefore the treatment approaches are different.  A corn can develop between the toes, has a core, and can be quite painful. Corns also develop along the tops of the toes, most often located just above a joint in the toe.  Corns are categorized as hard, soft, or periungual. A hard corn most commonly develops on the top of the toe and over a bone joint. A soft corn develops between the toes, usually between the fourth and fifth toes. A periungual corn is less common, and occurs along the edge of a nailbed.  A core is not always present, but is usually found at the center of the corn. The core consists of thick and dense skin tissue.  The core of the corn points inward and often presses on a bone or nerve which causes it to be quite painful.  A callus does not have a core, and is a broader area that is made of evenly distributed thicker tissue.  Calluses are not usually painful, although they can be uncomfortable.  Calluses usually develop on the bottom of the foot and just beneath the toe area. Calluses can also develop on the hands, usually on the palm side and just under the fingers.  Both corns and calluses are caused by friction and pressure. Salicylic acid is the most common ingredient found in over-the-counter products used to treat corns and calluses.  The use of over-the-counter products is helpful in removing corns and calluses, but their use is more effective when combined with general measures to take care of the skin.  Take steps to treat the immediate problem, but be sure to correct the problem causing the friction or pressure. Salicylic acid corn remover pads are available without prescription in strengths as strong as 40%.  Soak the foot in warm water for about five minutes to soften the tissue. Dry the foot and toes thoroughly before applying the pads.  Take care not to apply the pad against healthy skin tissue.  Most products recommend repeating the procedure every 48 to 72 hours, for up to 14 days, or until the corn is removed.  Salicylic acid is...

Article in English: Corns result from pressure and friction on your toes, and tight or uncomfortable shoes can be one of the culprits behind their appearance. One of the most important things you can do to prevent corns from developing and to reduce the severity of any corns you may already have is to stay away from shoes that put pressure on your toes.  Ideally, you should mostly wear shoes that you can wear socks with. Socks can cushion your toes, thereby minimizing the friction that can cause and worsen corns. Completely avoid high heels, especially those with narrow fronts. Choose shoes that are made from natural materials, such as leather and fleece. They are more breathable. Once you get home and kick your shoes off, you can further minimize the pressure on your toes by wedging a foam pedicure comb in between your toes. You could also try slipping on a pair of foam pedicure slippers or sandals. This footwear places wedges in between your  toes, separating them and preventing them from rubbing together as you move around. Foot powder can absorb moisture. As a result, the corns on your toes are less likely to become irritated or inflamed. Sprinkle the foot powder over and in between your toes before slipping on your socks and shoes in the morning. You can also reapply the foot powder throughout the day as needed if you sense that the skin in between your toes is getting sweaty. Soak your feet in lukewarm, soapy water for about 20 minutes to soften the skin. After that, gently scrub the corn with a pumice stone to remove some of the toughest skin on the top surface of the corn. Alternatively, try using an emery board instead of a pumice stone. When a corn develops in between toes, it can be difficult to scrub it with a pumice stone. An emery board or nail file should be used in these instances. If swelling and discomfort continue, you can can apply a cold pack or ice pack to the area for a few minutes to numb away discomfort and minimize swelling. The ice will not help heal the corn itself, but it can be used to treat the...

Article in English: Correlation refers to the statistical relationship between two quantities. The correlation coefficient is a single number that you can calculate for any two sets of data points. The number will always be something between -1 and +1, and it indicates how closely connected the two data sets tend to be.  For example, if you were to measure the heights and ages of children up to the age of about 12, you would expect to find a strong positive correlation. As children get older, they tend to get taller. An example of negative correlation would be data comparing a person’s time spent practicing golf shots and that person’s golf score. As the practice increases, the score should decrease. Finally, you would expect very little correlation, either positive or negative, between a person’s shoe size, for example, and SAT scores. The arithmetic mean, or “average,” of a set of data is calculated by adding all of the values of the data together, then dividing by the number of values in the set. When you find the correlation coefficient for your data, you will need to calculate the mean of each set of data.  The mean of a variable is denoted by the variable with a horizontal line above it. This is often referred to as “x-bar” or “y-bar” for the x and y data sets. Alternatively, the mean may be signified by the lower-case Greek letter mu, μ. To indicate the mean of x-data points, for example, you could write μx or μ(x). As an example, if you have a set of x-data points (1,2,5,6,9,10), then the mean of this data is calculated as follows:  μx=(1+2+5+6+9+10)/6{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=(1+2+5+6+9+10)/6} μx=33/6{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=33/6} μx=5.5{\displaystyle \mu _{x}=5.5} In statistics, standard deviation measures variation, showing how numbers are spread out in relationship to the mean. A group of numbers with a low standard deviation are fairly tightly collected. A group of numbers with a high standard deviation are widely scattered. Symbolically, standard deviation is expressed with either the lower-case letter s or the...

Article in English: Corticosteroid creams block certain inflammatory and itch-inducing chemicals in the immune system, and can be applied directly to itchy skin. Antihistamines are primarily used when itchiness is a result of an allergic reaction. They work by blocking the body’s production of histamines, which are involved in the inflammatory response system. Applied directly to itchy skin, topical anesthetics contain ingredients that numb nerve endings, thereby decreasing the sensation of itchiness. If you and your doctor determine that your itch is caused by an underlying psychological, emotional, or stress condition, you may be given Prozac or Zoloft, both of which have proven anti-itch properties. Your doctor may suggest using a topical calcineurin inhibitor, which reduces itchiness by blocking your body’s inflammatory response system. In some cases, your doctor may recommend light therapy, also known as phototherapy. This type of treatment exposes skin to various wavelengths of light in order to block the immune system functions that contribute to inflammation and itching. If your itchiness is the result of a fungal infection such as ringworm or athlete’s foot, your doctor may prescribe an antifungal agent. These can be applied topically or taken orally.

Article in English: Corticosteroids can help reduce inflammation of the nerves, the primary site of MS effects. Common corticosteroids that are prescribed by an MS specialist for for MS include prednisone (usually taken orally) and methylprednisolone (usually administered intravenously). Though often effective, corticosteroids carry numerous unpleasant side effects, including insomnia, elevated blood pressure, mood swings/irritability, and fluid retention in the body. Plasma exchange, also known as plasmapheresis, helps many MS patients during a period of MS attacks. During plasmapheresis, plasma is drawn and the blood cells mixed with albumin (a protein solution) before being returned to the body.  Plasma exchange is primarily used in patients with new symptoms, severe symptoms, or symptoms that have not responded to other treatment methods like steroids.  Plasma exchange may be performed when you are under the care of an MS specialist. Many people experiencing an MS attack/flare up suffer from symptoms like blurred vision or exceptionally spastic muscles. One way to help reduce the issues related to muscle control and regain control of your limbs is through physical therapy, though some experts recommend using physical therapy exercises in conjunction with a course of corticosteroids for maximum effectiveness.

Article in English: Cortisol is the hormone that helps us to manage stress. This hormone level should increase in situations where you are under physical or emotional stress, such as strenuous activity, infection, or injury. Have a doctor test the amount of the hormone in your blood to reveal your level. Cortisol can also be detected in your saliva, so your doctor might want to perform a series of saliva tests at different intervals.  Symptoms of low cortisol levels are chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, low blood pressure leading to dizziness and fainting, hypoglycemia, increase in anxiety, severe PMS, and inability to cope with stress. If you are diagnosed with low cortisol (in severe cases, called "adrenal fatigue"), your doctor may recommend cortisol hormone therapy. This involved taking prescription "bioidentical" cortisol. This hormone can be very beneficial for individuals suffering from adrenal fatigue, however taking bioidentical cortisol may further interfere with your body's nature cortisol production. Discuss these details with your doctor, and decide if prescription hormone therapy is right for you. . Cortisol production dramatically increases during stressful situations. Repeated bursts of cortisol may cause your adrenal glands to become fatigued. A stress-free body will allow cortisol to gradually increase in your system, instead of being produced all at once in high-pressure situations.  Try things like blog writing, journal writing, yoga, or meditation to reduce your stress. Spend more time with family and friends instead of being alone. Whenever you feel your stress-level rising, stop and take a few deep breaths. Cortisol production is highest during deep sleep. As a result, you need to be getting between six to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to naturally maintain adequate cortisol levels.  Try to go to bed at the same time every night. If your sleep cycle is regular, your adrenal glands will adapt to secrete the hormone at a particular time. Irregular sleep will make...

Article in English: Cortisone is a steroid with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Ask your regular doctor about getting plantar fascia cortisone injections to help reduce your inflammation and pain. Some regular doctors and general practitioners give the injections in-office, or they could refer you to a specialist for the procedure.  Cortisone usually starts working within 3 to 5 days after the injection. Effects can last for several days to a few months -- results will vary. Most people are good candidates for this treatment. Cortisone injections are usually a temporary solution and your doctor may limit the number you can have. Too many injections in that area can cause the plantar fascia to rupture. Keep in mind that many conditions can cause heel pain beyond heel spurs. Custom orthotic inserts are generally more expensive than generic heels cups and insoles purchased over the counter. However, they are specifically designed for your needs, making them very effective and helpful in the long run. If taken care of properly, custom orthotic inserts can usually last you up to 5 years. ESWT is a non-invasive medical procedure that involves high-energy shockwave impulses being sent to the tissues surrounding the heel. It may stimulate healing for damaged plantar fascia tissue.  ESWT is usually done in multiple sessions over a period of time determined by your doctor. You may feel an increase in pain right after the treatment, with relief usually starting within a few days.  ESWT does not have consistent results. It's typically used as a last resort before considering surgery. The reason that ESWT works for some people is unknown. It is possible that the shockwaves cause inflammation in the treated area and this causes the body to send more blood to that area, which promotes healing. Before performing surgery, doctors usually give home treatments about 12 months to work. If no other treatments ease your pain, talk to your doctor about surgical options. Surgery doesn't always help this condition and should be considered only as a...

Article in English: Cosmetic tattooing is done with an electric needle that rapidly deposits ink pigments into the dermis layer of skin. Cosmetic tattooing is also known as permanent makeup. These procedures are often used to create the appearance of fuller eyebrows, permanent eyeliner, or permanent lipstick, but using it to create freckles has become more popular in recent years.  A hollow, vibrating needle will pierce through the top layer of skin and release a droplet of pigment. While cosmetic tattooing is possible to remove, it is very difficult to do so, and your skin may never look the same again. To reduce the risk of negative side effects, like infection, make sure that the professional you hire knows what he or she is really doing.  Check each tattoo artist's credentials. Make sure that he or she is a properly trained and licensed aesthetician. Get a recommendation from a plastic surgeon or former client. Speak with former clients, and ask to see before-and-after photos of freckle tattoos. The professional may have suggestions, but in order to get the look you really want, you need to have an active voice in the matter. If possible, go over a few photographs to determine which freckled look is right for you.  The tattoo artist will help you determine the best hue and shade of color for your freckles. You should also discuss the placement of your freckles. When the time comes, schedule an appointment and get your freckles tattooed on. Before the procedure, the technician will sketch out the area that will be tattooed using a sterile surgical pen. Anesthetic gel will then be placed on the area to numb it. During the procedure, you can expect to feel a little stinging sensation. Make sure that the aesthetician uses sterile gloves and sterilized equipment during the procedure. You will need to reduce the swelling with a cold compress and apply an antibiotic ointment to minimize the risk of infection. Follow the tattoo artist's instructions about how to take proper care of the area while it heals.  Note that immediately...

Article in English: Cosmetics that do not clog pores are called noncomedogenic or non-acnegenic. The first ingredient in your makeup should be water. . Opt for mineral-based cosmetics, which will absorb excess oil and hide redness without irritating your skin. Noncomedogenic makeup does not interfere with acne medication. Use oil-free primer to keep your makeup in place. It can be especially difficult to keep concealer on an inflamed zit, but a dab of primer does the trick. Lightweight primers are less likely to irritate acne and are easier on oily skin.  Use a primer with SPF for protection from the sun, especially if you have scarring or hyperpigmentation. Sun exposure can slow the healing process. Apply the primer all over your face to help your makeup go on evenly and last longer. A mineral-powder foundation is less likely to clog your pores than a liquid foundation, though it will provide less coverage.  Opt for mattifying products: they absorb excess oil, and a matte finish conceals bumpiness.  Avoid shimmery finish, which will draw attention to bumps. Foundations that are designed to last all day are more likely to clog your pores, causing further acne. If you're interested in light coverage, an oil-free tinted moisturizer can work great on acne-prone skin. It also won't clog pores! Concealer that is too light or dark will highlight your trouble spots, rather than hiding them. Mix two shades of concealer if you cannot find one that matches your skin.  Keep in mind that oily skin can oxidize the concealer, which will make it look darker. You can avoid this by choosing a concealer that is 1/2 a shade lighter than your skin color. Setting powder can benefit oily skin, but can exacerbate dryness in other skin. If you choose to use it, find a light setting powder that is less likely to trap oils under your skin.

Article in English: Cosplay has a very passionate and inclusive community. If you don't already have friends that are into it, it's a good idea to meet some fellow fans. Because it's such a popular subculture, cosplay groups are quite easy to hook up with online. Look for public groups on social media sites like Facebook. If you join up with one of these groups, you can begin making friends by listing some of your favorite animes. The idea of going to conventions can be daunting if you haven't made a habit of going already. Depending on where you live, some travelling may be required. Cosplay conventions range significantly in size and scope. At first, it is recommended you choose a smaller one. They're less overwhelming, and it's easier to make friends with people when there's less chaos. Conventions usually cost around $20-60 USD to attend per day. While doing a cosplay project on your own is perfectly fine, many cosplayers find it more enjoyable to go as a group. If you're planning on going to a convention with some friends, you might decide as a group to dress as characters from a certain anime. Theme groups tend to leave a much bigger impression at conventions than individual costumes. Groups are also safer to go in. Conventions sometimes come with the risk of guys who harass attractive cosplayers. If you're in a group, it'll be easier to keep them at bay. Some people go to cosplay conventions purely with the interest of checking out other peoples cosplays. Some of them may be interested in taking your picture. Although it's usually to be taken as a compliment if someone asks to take your picture, it's ultimately up to you whether you're comfortable for that or not. Politely decline and move on if you're not okay with it. If you're worried about harassment, going in a group can help alleviate the pressure. It's usually recommended you have a friend there to look out for you in the slight chance there's an issue. You might not think so at first, but cosplay conventions can be physically exhausting.

Article in English: Costochondritis can cause extreme discomfort. Sufferers describe the pain as:  A sharp, aching, or pressure-like pain located on the side of the breastbone. Common locations are the fourth, fifth, and sixth ribs.  The pain may also spread to your stomach or back.   The pain may span more than one rib joint and be aggravated by coughing or deep breathing. The key difference is that during costochondritis the painful area is generally sensitive to the touch and the pain is reproducible when your doctor examines you and palpitates the area. Even so, in all cases of chest pain, it is best to see a doctor immediately to rule out a heart attack.  Like the onset of a heart attack, the pain is often on the left side. It may be sharp and worsen when you take a deep breath, turn your body, or move your arm. A heart attack is usually a dull pain and is associated with numbness in the arm and jaw. Costochondritis has various causes. Some frequent ones are:  An injury which damages the cartilage that joins the rib and breastbone. This may include a blow or straining sustained during carrying heavy items or severe coughing. An upper respiratory infection which causes severe coughing can trigger costochondritis.  Arthritis in the joint. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis can cause chest pain. An infection in the joint, such as tuberculosis, syphilis, or aspergillosis. Sometimes costochondritis is caused by a bacterial infection in the joint after surgery.  A tumor infecting the joint. In other cases there may be no clear cause.

Article in English: Cotton and linen are the most breathable fabrics, and they let sweat evaporate instead of forming a layer on your chest that clogs your pores and invites bacteria to grow. Eat a handful of walnuts every day to reduce skin inflammation. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Get lean protein, such as poultry breast or soy, into your diet, along with whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids.  People who eat more fruits and veggies, and less milk and sugar, tend to have less acne. Make sure you get 5 to 9 servings of healthy vegetables (especially leafy greens) per day. Healthy fats, like omega-3s, help fight inflammation and promote healthy cells. Omega-3s are damaged by oxygen, meaning if you eat foods that are rich in omega-3s, try to eat them raw. Foods rich in omega-3s include:  Fish, particularly salmon, sardines, and herring.  Seeds and nuts, particularly flaxseed.  Leafy greens, particularly spinach and arugula. Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Like other organs, it needs plenty of water to stay hydrated and functioning on a healthy level. Many doctors recommend that you drink between 9 and 12 cups of water per day (2.2 to 3 liters), depending on whether you are a girl or guy.  Cut sweet, sugary drinks like sodas, juices, and smoothies out of your diet. Although the evidence has been disputed for decades, new reports seem to indicate that diets do have a substantial effect on acne, listing sugar as a trigger. Sugars cause a spike in insulin, which in turn stimulates a certain pimple producing hormones. Unsweetened green may work, too. Green tea contains antioxidants that help fight free radicals; free radicals affect the cells that may be responsible for signs of aging in the skin.
