        A mile-long train is moving at sixty 
      
      
        miles an hour when it reaches a mile-
      
      
        long tunnel. How long does it take the 
      
      
        entire train to pass through the tunnel?
      
      
        
      
      
        (See page 4 for the answer.)

        Rock’ And Roll’ Muscles 
      
      
        You should stretch before you work out, 
      
      
        right?  Most people say yes, but it’s not 
      
      
        good to stretch cold muscles.  First, you 
      
      
        should release the muscles by using a 
      
      
        foam roller (or anything round) to roll 
      
      
        your calves, thighs and upper back. If 
      
      
        you can’t roll, warm up your muscles 
      
      
        with some gentle cardio or a light jog.

        Astronomers have put together a 9-
      
      
        gigapixel picture that includes 173 
      
      
        million different objects, including 84 
      
      
        million that could be confirmed as stars. 
      
      
        If printed with the resolution of a book, 
      
      
        the image would measure 30 feet long 
      
      
        by 23 feet tall.    
      
      
        
      
      
        Medication Warning 
      
      
        Researchers are finding that 
      
      
        medications and supplements may 
      
      
        contain or be coated with plasticizing 
      
      
        chemicals (called phthalates) that can 
      
      
        lead to health problems. Keep an eye 
      
      
        out for delivery systems that are most 
      
      
        likely to use phthalates, such as 
      
      
        “delayed-release,”
      
      
        
      
      
        “time-release,” and 
      
      
        “enteric
      
      
        
      
      
        coatings.”
      
      
        
      
      
         Best advice: Ask 
      
      
        your pharmacist if a phthalate-free 
      
      
        version of your medication is available.  
      
      
        Relieve Eye Pain In Seconds
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Do you spend much of the day staring at a computer, sending text 
      
      
        messages on your phone, and ending the evening by watching a movie on a 
      
      
        high-definition TV?  No wonder your eyes are tired!  Here are four exercises 
      
      
        to relieve eye pain and make them not feel dry, itchy, blurred, and strained: 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Eye Roll:
      
      
          While keeping your eyes open and head still, roll your eyes 
      
      
        up to look at the ceiling, roll around clockwise slowly five times.  
      
      
        Repeat the motion counter clockwise. 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Palming:
      
      
          Rub the palms of your hands together until they are warm. 
      
      
        Cover your eyes and concentrate on your breath until your palms cool. 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Massage:
      
      
          Place your fingertips on your eyelids and gently move them 
      
      
        in a circular motion for 60 seconds. 
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        
      
      
        Temple Turning:
      
      
          Place the knuckles of your thumbs on the sides of 
      
      
        your eyes near the temples.  Massage by circling the temples three 
      
      
        times.  Do the same above the midpoint of your eyebrows and both 
      
      
        sides of the bridge of your nose. 
      
      
        
      
      
        It’s also a good idea to give your eyes a rest every 25 minutes spent 
      
      
        reading or sitting in front of back-lit screen (computer, tablet, phone, TV).  
      
      
        Simply get up and look around the room at other objects for 5 minutes.
