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. -

Systems Biology and Its Relevance to Alcohol Research
Commentary: Systems Biology and Its Relevance to Alcohol Research Q. Max Guo, Ph.D., and Sam Zakhari, Ph.D. Systems biology, a new scientific discipline, aims to study the behavior of a biological organization or process in order to understand the function of a dynamic system. This commentary will put into perspective topics discussed in this issue of Alcohol Research & Health, provide insight into why alcohol-induced disorders exemplify the kinds of conditions for which a systems biological approach would be fruitful, and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing alcohol researchers.

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. -
Communication Theory in Biological Systems
SUMMARY CDI TYPE I: A Communications Theory Approach to Morphogenesis and Architecture Maintenance The assertion that biological systems are communication networks would draw no rebuke from biologists – the terms signaling, communication, and network are deeply embedded parts of the biology parlance. However, the more profound meanings of information and communication are often overlooked when considering biological systems. Information can be quantified, its flow can be measured and tight bounds exist for its representation and conveyance between transmitters and receivers in a variety of settings. Furthermore, communications theory is about efficient com- munication where energy is at a premium – as is often the case in organisms. But perhaps most important, information theory allows mechanism-blind bounds on decisions and information flow. That is, the physics of a system allows determination of limits that any method of information description, delivery or processing must obey. Thus, rigorous application of communication theory to complex multi-cellular biological sys- tems seems both attractive and obvious as an organizing principle – a way to tease order from the myriad engineering solutions that comprise biological systems. Likewise, study of biological systems – engineering solutions evolved over eons – might yield new communication and com- putation theory. Yet so far, a communications-theoretic approach to multi-cellular biology has received scant, if any, attention. We therefore propose to explore this interdisciplinary intellectual -
