  • Relieving Stress Through Movement “I Really Tried to Eat the Right Foods
    The Parent’s Companion to Physical Health: Relieving stress through movement “I really tried to eat the right foods. While TJ was in the hospital, I ate 3 meals a day with him, even if we were both eating very little. I continued walking and doing yoga as I could. I also went to my yearly physicals with my doctors and talked to them about TJ’s diagnosis. I came away feeling encouraged and confident I could handle what was ahead.” — Sherri, TJ’s mom Your health matters too ou probably aren’t thinking about your own health right now. Of course you want to give all you can to your child, so it can be normal to put aside your own health needs. But caring for a child throughout the transplant journey is stressful. AlthoughY stress can be helpful over short periods of time, constant stress can be harmful. Think about a car when the gas pedal gets stuck. Constant speeding up causes strain on the tires, and wear and tear on the engine. Driving 100 miles an hour without ever slowing down also increases the chance of crashing. In the same way, a lot of stress can cause you to get sick more easily and take longer to get well. Physical Health Physical 1 The purpose of The Parent’s Companion to Physical Health is to help you practice simple physical ways to relieve stress. In this chapter: Burn off and turn off the stress • Stretching: Easy stretches you can do anywhere — it feels good! • Counting your steps: Why your movement matters and how you can move more and feel better • Getting the rest you need: Helpful tips that can help you fall asleep

  • Indiana Drivers Manual: Ch. 7
    CHAPTER 7 | Safe Vehicle Operation CHAPTER SEVEN | SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION Even the most experienced drivers can be distracted while driving. A defensive driver looks out for the actions of other drivers and anticipates potential problems. LANE MARKINGS Lane markings separate traffic and alert drivers when it is permissible to pass other vehicles. Yellow Lane Markings Yellow lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. You may cross a broken yellow line to pass another vehicle when it is safe, but you should not cross a solid yellow line except to turn. Two-lane road with a solid yellow line Two-lane road with a broken Four-lane road with a solid yellow line yellow line White Lane Markings White lane markings separate multiple lanes of traffic going in the same direction. Most roads with more than two lanes have broken white lines to separate the lanes. You may cross a broken white line when it is safe to change lanes, but you should not cross a solid white line. Three lanes of traffic with broken white lines CHANGING LANES AND PASSING OTHER VEHICLES Change only one lane at a time. When changing lanes to prepare for a turn, you must signal your intention to do so at least 200 feet prior to changing lanes or turning. Your signal distance must be at least 300 feet before the turn if you are operating a vehicle in a speed zone of at least 50 miles per hour. Do not weave in and out of lanes, which will greatly increase your risk of an accident.

  • The Device Approach to Emergent Properties
    arXiv:1801.05452, Version 3 Asking Biological Questions of Physical Systems: the Device Approach to Emergent Properties Bob Eisenberg Department of Applied Mathematics Illinois Institute of Technology USA Department of Physiology and Biophysics Rush University USA [email protected] January 17, 2018 9/23/2021 9:14 AM Abstract Life occurs in concentrated ‘Ringer Solutions’ derived from seawater that Lesser Blum studied for most of his life. As we worked together, Lesser and I realized that the questions asked of those solutions were quite different in biology from those in the physical chemistry he knew. Biology is inherited. Information is passed by handfuls of atoms in the genetic code. A few atoms in the proteins built from the code change macroscopic function. Indeed, a few atoms often control biological function in the same sense that a gas pedal controls the speed of a car. Biological questions then are most productive when they are asked in the context of evolution. What function does a system perform? How is the system built to perform that function? What forces are used to perform that function? How are the modules that perform functions connected to make the machinery of life. Physiologists have shown that much of life is a nested hierarchy of devices, one on top of another, linking atomic ions in concentrated solutions to current flow through proteins, current flow to voltage signals, voltage signals to changes in current flow, all connected to make a regenerative system that allows electrical action potentials to move meters, under the control of a few atoms.

  • Special Driving Situations
    Special Driving Situations Only practice and experience can make you a good driver. About 40 percent of highway crashes involve drivers under 25 years old (RMV Crash Data Department). Most of these crashes are caused by driver inexperience. To be a good driver, you must follow these rules. • Give driving your full attention. Don’t be distracted while driving. Talking to passengers, adjusting a car stereo, or eating can all be dangerous. • Drive defensively, and keep your eyes on the road ahead. By staying alert, you will see hazards and have time to avoid them. • Learn to drive in different situations. Practice highway driving, night driving, and handling a motor vehicle in different weather conditions. • Know how to handle emergency situations, such as skidding or tire blowout. • Know, understand, and obey the rules of the road. This chapter explains defensive driving and how to handle special driving situations. It also tells you what to do if there is a crash, even if you are only a witness. CHAP TER 5 115 Moving Emergency Vehicle • Always yield the right-of-way to fire engines, ambulances, police cars, and other emergency vehicles that are using a siren and/or emergency flashing lights. • If an emergency vehicle is coming from any direction, you must pull as close as possible to the right side of the road. Stop until the vehicle has passed. Slowly rolling is not acceptable. • Check your mirrors and find a safe place to pull over to the right. You should not pull your vehicle to the left or slam on your brakes.

  • CHAPTER 3: LEARNING to DRIVE This Chapter Provides Information That Will Help You Become a Safe Driver
    Chapter 3 - Learning to Drive PA Driver’s Manual CHAPTER 3: LEARNING TO DRIVE This chapter provides information that will help you become a safe driver. It covers these topics: • Choosing Safety First • Driver Factors • Everyday Driving Skills • Special Circumstances and Emergencies CHOOSING SAFETY FIRST You have important choices to make – sometimes even before you start your vehicle – that will affect your safety when you are behind the wheel. Begin by making sure you and your vehicle are “fit to drive.” VEHICLE CHECKS: PREPARING TO DRIVE 1. Adjust the driver’s seat – You must be able to easily reach the pedals and other controls and have a clear view out the windshield. Your owner’s manual provides information about how to adjust your vehicle’s equipment. 2. Fasten your seat belt – Fasten both your lap and shoulder belts on every trip. Pay attention to the information about Pennsylvania’s seat belt law, child restraint law and airbag safety information found in Chapter 5. DID YOU KNOW? WEARING YOUR SEAT BELT In 2011, 78 percent of people involved in crashes in Pennsylvania is the single most effective were wearing seat belts. Drivers, ages 16 to 24, had the highest thing you can do to reduce number of unbuckled injuries and fatalities of any age group and the the risk of death or injury! lowest seat belt use. 3. Secure loose items in the passenger compartment – In a crash, loose items in your vehicle become projectiles that continue to travel the same speed your vehicle was moving before the impact. Put heavier objects, such as backpacks, luggage and tools in your trunk, whenever possible, or secure them with the vehicle’s seat belts.
