Endorphines are neurotransmitters found in the brain that have pain-relieving properties similar to morphine. There are three major types of endorphins: beta endorpins, found primarily in the pituitary gland; and enkephalins and dynorphin, both distributed throughout the nervous system.

Sir Isaac Netwotn’s three laws of motion. Three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas). We live on the third rock from the sun. Our metric system of measurement uses metre, litre, and gram. Morse code is a reliable system as the signal is made up of only three parts – a long ‘on’, the dash; a short ‘on’, the dot; and an ‘off’ signal. Do you know what SOS means in Morse code?
Photomosaic of Triton
Photomosaic of Triton

Accession no. P34754This photomosaic of Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, was assembled from fourteen individual frames to show the great variety of its surface features. At the bottom of the image are remnants of the south polar cap, which contain dark streaks generally aligned toward the northeast. Even though these features are darker than others on Triton, they reflect nearly ten times as much light as the surface of the Earth’s moon. The region that scientists have informally dubbed the “cantaloupe” terrain, as a result of its small dimples with upraised rims and shallow central depressions, is visible north of the cap, in the western half of the disk. Long fractures that have opened and allowed some icy material to ooze up and form a central ridge crisscross the region and extend into parts of the polar cap region. Toward the south this terrain is covered with a light layer of frost.

Stroke – S.T.R.
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
