Doing a mayday call over VHF is still the most common way to make a distress signal, however now all VHF sets have a DSC button which when hit send out an automatic distress signal to all receivers in range with location and distress information.
#1: If at night, by use of a searchlight to send Morse code. A regular flashlight will only work if you are in front of a very DARK background. #2: Day or night: Radio Morse code. #3: Daytime: Signal flags along your forestay or backstay. #4: Daytime: Semaphore flag signalling. #5: Day, or night with searchlight shining on it: Hang your country flag upside-down. This is the internationally-recognized sign of distress.

Paracrine signaling involves the release of signaling molecules that act on nearby cells, while endocrine signaling involves the release of hormones into the bloodstream to act on distant target cells. Paracrine signaling targets nearby cells, while endocrine signaling targets cells throughout the body.
The legal requirement to carry an orange distress flag while boating varies by jurisdiction. In the United States, the U.S. Coast Guard recommends carrying a variety of signaling devices, including an orange distress flag, but specific laws differ by state. It's important for boaters to check local regulations to ensure compliance with safety equipment requirements. Overall, while it's a best practice, it may not be mandatory in all areas.
While "of course" is the modern phrase, it began life as the phrase "as a matter of course" or "of the ordinary course". It was a term used in sailing in the 1500's.
Information can be transmitted through three main signaling methods: electrical signaling, chemical signaling, and mechanical signaling. Electrical signaling involves the use of electrical impulses, while chemical signaling relies on the transmission of neurotransmitters or hormones. Mechanical signaling involves physical interactions that convey information, such as touch or pressure.
