article: Avoid scratching as much as possible. Scratching your skin can exacerbate symptoms, or cause other problems, including a skin infection. Keeping your nails trimmed may help you avoid scratching. Consider wearing gloves at night and while you sleep to help keep you from scratching. Moisturize the skin on your hands and feet before you go to bed to help minimize itching or prevent it. You can help bolster your moisturizing by using a humidifier in your room, Apply moisturizer to your skin at least once a day. The best time to apply is after a shower or bath while your skin is still damp. Concentrate the moisturizer on the areas that itch the most both after your shower and before bed. Make sure to use unscented and uncolored moisturizers that will not irritate your skin. Keeping a humidifier in your bedroom can ensure that the air is moist and won't dry out your skin and make you want to itch while you're sleeping. Avoid temperature extremes which can dry out skin. Taking a bath in lukewarm water can soothe itchy skin and help decrease inflammation. You may want to consider adding a colloidal oatmeal preparation to help further soothe your skin. Sprinkle water with baking soda, uncooked oatmeal or colloidal oatmeal, all of which can help calm your skin. Stay in the bathtub for only 10-15 minutes. When you soak in the bath for too long, your skin can get dried out, which in turn could cause it to itch more. Make sure that the water is lukewarm rather than hot. Hot water can remove the natural oils from your skin, causing your skin to become dry and even itchier. After taking a bath, rub lotion on your skin before fully drying off, concentrating on your hands and feet. Doing this will lock the moisture from your bath into your skin, keeping your skin hydrated and less likely to become itchy. Place a cold, cool, or wet compress on your hands and feet when you go to bed. Cold packs or compresses can help relieve itching and inflammation associated with pruritis by constricting blood flow and cooling the skin. You can place a cold compress on your rashes intermittently for 10 to 15 minutes or until you fall asleep. If you don't have an ice pack, you can use a bag of frozen vegetables for the same effect. Do not let the ice rest directly on your skin. Make sure to wrap the ice or ice pack in a cloth. If ice is left to rest on your skin too long, it may cause frostbite. Prevent and relieve itching by wearing pajamas that won't irritate your skin. These garments can also serve to protect your skin against further scratching. Wear cool, loose, smooth textured pajamas made out of cotton or merino wool to keep yourself from scratching and prevent excess sweating. Cotton clothing is good because it lets air pass through the fabric and is soft to the touch. Consider wearing socks and gloves to help prevent scratching. Sleep in a bedroom that is comfortable, cool, and well ventilated. By controlling factors such as the temperature and darkness, having comfortable bedding, and keeping air circulating, you may help prevent your hands and feet from itching. Set temperature in bedroom to between 60-75 degrees for optimal sleeping conditions. Use a fan to keep air circulating or open a window. Sleep in comfortable, natural fiber sheets, such as cotton. When you have dry, itchy hands and feet, you may be at a higher risk of getting a superficial superficial skin infection, also known as cellulitis. If you notice any of the following symptoms, call your doctor right away: Redness Swelling Pain and/or tenderness Skin that feels warm to the touch Fever Red spots, dimpling, and/or blisters

article: In laws will always want to know that you are treating their son or daughter well. Be kind and loving to your partner, and show them you have a good relationship. Avoid fighting with, nagging, or putting down your partner when you're around their in laws. If you have something you need to work out, save it for when you're alone. Your in laws will want to be valued in your life. One way to show that they matter to you and your partner is to ask for their thoughts and advice. You can either give them a call to get their opinion or pull them aside for a one-on-one chat when you're all hanging out together as a family. You could try asking them for advice on big things, like "Will you come house hunting with us?" Asking for advice on everyday things will impress them, too (i.e., "What do you think I should wear to the holiday party?" or "Do you know anything about oil changes?"). Go out of your way to keep your in laws in the loop. If you check in on them just to see how they're doing, they will appreciate it, and you'll score some major respect points. It's natural to connect with family around holidays and other events. Try calling or texting your in laws once in a while "just because." They'll probably appreciate the gesture even more since it was unprompted. Call your mother in law, for instance, and say something like "Hi, I just wanted to call and see how you're doing! It's been a hectic week for me, and I bet yours has been long, too." Bring one of your in laws' favorite dishes when you come over, or make it when they come to your house. This can be considered very thoughtful. They will be impressed that you took the time to learn about what they like. Even if they say you didn't make it perfectly right, the gesture will still be appreciated! If you aren't sure what they're favorites are, ask your partner. Casually ask them in conversation what they enjoy eating. For example, ask them "What kind of food do you enjoy?" or "What's your favorite dessert?" Gift-giving times, like holidays and birthdays, can be great opportunities to show your in laws how much you care. Try to give them things you know they'll love. They'll be impressed with your thoughtfulness. For instance, if you know that your mother in law collects things with farmyard motifs, giving her a set of hen and rooster salt and pepper shakers will probably mean more to her than a gift card. Some families like to take vacations with their in laws, and this can be a good bonding experience. But quality time doesn't have to be a huge undertaking. Everyday things like going shopping with one of your in laws or inviting them over to watch the game are really meaningful.

article:
The simplest algebraic equations, those involving just a few variable terms with whole number coefficients and no fractions, radicals, etc., can often be solved in just a few steps. As with most math problems, the first step to simplifying your equation is to write it out! As an example problem, for the next few steps, let's consider the expression 1 + 2x - 3 + 4x. Next, search your equation for like terms. Remember that like terms have both the same variable(s) and exponent(s). For example, let's identify like terms in our equation 1 + 2x - 3 + 4x. 2x and 4x both have the same variable raised to the same exponent (in this case, the x's aren't raised to any exponent at all). In addition, 1 and -3 are like terms, as neither has any variables. So, in our equation, 2x and 4x and 1 and -3 are like terms. Now that you've identified like terms, you can combine them to simplify your equation. Add terms together (or subtract in the case of negative terms) to reduce each set of terms with the same variables and exponents to one singular term. Let's add the like terms in our example. 2x + 4x = 6x 1 + -3 = -2 After combining your like terms, construct an expression from your new, smaller set of terms. You should get a simpler expression that has one term for each different set of variables and exponents in the original expression. This new expression is equal to the first. In our example, our simplified terms are 6x and -2, so our new expression is 6x - 2. This simplified expression is equal to the original (1 + 2x - 3 + 4x), but is shorter and easier to manage. It's also easier to factor, which, as we'll see below, is another important simplifying skill. In extremely simple expressions like the one dealt with in the example problems above, identifying like terms is simple. However, in more complex expressions, like ones that involve terms in parentheses, fractions, and radicals, like terms which can be combined may not be immediately apparent. In these cases, follow the order of operations, performing operations on the terms in your expression as necessary until only addition and subtraction operations remain. For example, let's consider the equation 5(3x-1) + x((2x)/(2)) + 8 - 3x. It would be incorrect to immediately identify 3x and 2x as like terms and combine them because the parentheses in the expression dictate that we're supposed to do other operations first. First, let's perform the arithmetic operations in the expression in accordance with the order of operations to obtain terms we can use. See below: 5(3x-1) + x((2x)/(2)) + 8 - 3x 15x - 5 + x(x) + 8 - 3x 15x - 5 + x2 + 8 - 3x. Now, since the only operations left are addition and subtraction, we can combine like terms. x2 + (15x - 3x) + (8 - 5) x2 + 12x + 3
