The Babylonian (Mesopotamian) World Map (700-500 BC), a diagrammatic labeled depiction of the world, discovered in Sippar, southern Iraq. It was first published in 1899 AD. The map was written in cuneiform script on a clay tablet, of which only the major portions survive, measuring 12.2 x 8.2cm. This tablet contains both a cuneiform inscription and a unique map of Mesopotamian world. Babylon is shown in the centre (rectangle in top half of the circle), and Assyria, Elam and other places are also named. Central area is ringed by a circular waterway labelled 'Salt-Sea'. Outer rim of the sea is surrounded by what were probably originally eight regions, each indicated by a triangle, labelled 'Region' or 'Island', and marked with the distance in between. The cuneiform text describes these regions, and it seems that strange and mythical beasts as well as great heroes lived there, although the text is far from complete. Details of the Map : 1. “Mountain” (Akkadian:šá-du-ú) 2. “City” (Akkadian: uru) 3. Urartu (Armenia) (Akkadian: ú-ra-áš-tu) 4. Assyria (Akkadian: kuraš+šurki) 5. Der (Akkadian: dēr) 6. Swamp (Akkadian: ap–pa–ru) 7. Elam (Akkadian: šuša) 8. Canal (Akkadian: bit-qu) 9. Bit Yakin (Akkadian:bῑt-ia-᾿-ki-nu) 10. “City” (Akkadian: uru) 11. Habban (Akkadian: ha-ab-ban) 12. Babylon (Akkadian: tin.tirki), divided by Euphrates 13. Ocean (salt water, Akkadian:idmar-ra-tum) Mythological objects. "The regions are shown as triangles since that was how it was visualized that they first would look when approached by water. "The map is sometimes taken as a serious example of ancient geography, but although the places are shown in their approximately correct positions, the real purpose of the map is to explain the Babylonian view of the mythological world" British Museum (92687) © I.L. Finkel, 'A join to the Map of the World: a notable discovery', British Museum Magazine: the-5 (Winter 1995), pp. 26-27

You Won’t Believe How the Sun Moves Through the Galaxy! ☀️
Earth takes one year to orbit the Sun. The Sun needs about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the center of the Milky Way. That’s one “galactic year.”
At roughly 4.6 billion years old, our star has completed only about 20 of these enormous orbits.
Nothing in space stands still. As the Sun moves around the galaxy, the planets keep orbiting the Sun. Earth’s yearly journey happens within a much larger journey through the Milky Way — both motions happen at the same time.
And the two orbits don’t line up: the plane of Earth’s orbit is tilted by about 60° relative to the galaxy’s disk. The familiar flat diagrams of our Solar System show only part of how we move through space.

The scientific base why people who do resistance training . They are less prone to have cold, bacterial & viral infections:
Your muscles do far more than move your body. They help regulate your entire physiology.
When you exercise, your contracting muscles release hundreds of signalling molecules called MYOKINES.
These molecules communicate with your brain, liver, fat tissue, blood vessels and immune system.
Here’s what happens when you move:
BRAIN: BDNF supports neuronal survival, learning, memory and neuroplasticity.
FAT TISSUE: Irisin may promote the browning of white fat. Exercise also improves how your body uses stored energy.
MUSCLE GROWTH: Resistance training stimulates muscle protein synthesis and activates pathways involved in muscle repair and adaptation.
INSULIN SENSITIVITY: Exercise helps muscles take up glucose and improves metabolic health.
MITOCHONDRIA: AMPK and PGC-1α signalling support mitochondrial adaptation and energy production.
INFLAMMATION: Exercise can promote anti-inflammatory responses. IL-6 released during muscle contraction behaves differently from chronically elevated IL-6 associated with disease.
LIVER & METABOLISM: Muscle-derived signals influence lipid handling, glucose regulation and whole-body energy metabolism.
CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Regular exercise improves endothelial function, circulation and blood pressure.
Your muscles are not merely engines. They are signalling organs.
Every workout is an opportunity to improve how your brain, metabolism, immune system and cardiovascular system function.
You don’t exercise only to build bigger muscles.
You exercise to build a healthier human body.
Train your muscles. Protect your future health.

Answer: Acute Appendicitis
Why?
The clue:
"Every bump on the road made the pain unbearable."
is a classic sign of peritoneal irritation.
When a car hits bumps, the inflamed peritoneum is jostled, causing severe pain. This is highly suggestive of acute appendicitis, especially when the pain has localized to the right lower quadrant.
Typical features
- Pain starting around the umbilicus, then migrating to the right iliac fossa
- Nausea/vomiting
- Low-grade fever
- Rebound tenderness and guarding
- Pain worsened by movement, coughing, or road bumps
Differential diagnosis
1. Renal colic → Patients are typically restless and cannot keep still.
2. Biliary colic → Pain is usually postprandial and not classically worsened by road bumps.
3. Pancreatitis → Pain radiates to the back and improves on leaning forward.

'He's tiny! It's blue!'
Charles Darwin Foundation scientists discover a new species of octopus nearly 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) down on the ocean floor near the Galapagos Islands. No bigger than a golf ball, the blue octopus has stubby little arms with only one row of suckers

Όταν απέτυχα στις Πανελλήνιες, ένιωθα "τελειωμένος". 10 χρόνια μετά, έχω πτυχίο και μεταπτυχιακό στην Φαρμακευτική με άριστα και τελειώνω Ιατρική. Η ζωή ΔΕΝ κρίνεται στα 18. Καμία σχολή δεν αξίζει όσο μια ζωή. Μη μετράτε τα παιδιά μας με μόρια. Φτάνει πια. #Ηλιούπολη #17χρονες
