Most researchers believe that Olde Robert Selfe was the ancestor of most of the Self family in America. Arriving in Virginia in the 1600s, Robert Selfe appears to have been descended from Walter Selfe of Cripplegate, London, England. The name Self is thought to be a shortened version of Seawolf, dating back to the early Viking voyages along the English coast.
A stress reaction is the lowest grade of the three levels of bone injury. A stress reaction is essentially the early stages of a stress fracture. This occurs when the stresses affecting the bone occur at a faster rate than the rate at which the bone is able to rebuild itself.
In physiology, stress is anything that causes the body to respond by releasing stress hormones. The definition of stress, then, is: an event that causes by the body's natural fight-or-flight response. The stress response is what happens when the body reacts to stressors (noxious stimuli). Over time, the mental, behavioral, and physical symptoms of the stress response can wear us down.
