Woodchat Shrike - - Lanius Senator
Shrikes are medium sized predatory birds with hooked bills, sometimes known as butcher birds in recognition of the way in which they catch their prey and feed (from the Latin genus derivative Lanius meaning butcher).
The adult male woodchat shrike has predominantly black upperparts and white underparts with a rufous crown, nape and upper mantle. The forehead is black extending to a black mask across the eyes and along the side of the neck finishing just prior to the rufous nape. Chin and throat are white as are the flanks and breast. The shoulders are a bold white partly obscured by a black lower mantle which becomes obvious when the bird is in flight. The back, upper wing and upper tail areas are in the main dark brown or black and the rump and the tip of the central tail feathers white. There is a broad white bar near the base of the primary feathers on the upper wing extending from the area of the alula (bastard wing) across to the median coverts, again particularly prominent in flight. The eye is very dark and the legs and stout hooked bill are black. Adult females are similar to the male although the crown and nape is paler and less rufous than the male and there is a whitish stripe across the top and around the eye and she is duller overall. Juvenile birds have grey brown upper parts with mottling to the head and shoulders and pale grey underparts with darker grey horizontal bars.
The preferred diet is one of beetles or spiders, caterpillars or large flying insects frequently caught on the wing or attacked on the ground from above but can also include small birds and lizards. The Woodchat spends a great deal of time perching in the open from where it can easily spot its potential prey and launch its attack.

44 years of abandonment and neglect, the second jetty from where copper was loaded for export.
The name Cyprus is a derivative of Kúpros, which the Greeks called the island, and means Cuprous, synonymous with copper. Copper production can be dated to the fourth millennium BC, when it was used to make tools.
During the Roman period Cyprus was able to satisfy almost all of the world's copper requirements, but after the downfall of the Roman Empire, copper mining went dormant until the 19th century. From the 19th century the mining industry was revived and continues to this day in a limited capacity.

The only reason we took this long cruise was
for me to take my own photo of this famous place in Willemstad.
It’s fitting that Curaçao’s name is a derivative of "coração",
the Portuguese word for "heart". For centuries, the Caribbean
island was the pulsing center of European trade in the region
and a melting pot for Dutch, Iberian, South American, African,
tropical, and even Sephardic Jewish influences.
Colonized by the Netherlands after its independence from Spain in 1634, Curaçao’s capital, Willemstad, has a distinct architectural tradition kept alive by its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage City.
Curaçao and St. Maarten have become autonomous countries
within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, joining Aruba,
which gained the status in 1986.
Thank you.
Iris ensata is the original species from which various horticultural derivatives collectively called the Japanese iris have been developed. At Higashiyama Botanical Garden, Nagoya, Japan.

kestrel (from French crécerelle, derivative from crécelle, i.e. ratchet) is given to several members of the falcon genus, Falco. Kestrels are most easily distinguished by their typical hunting behaviour which is to hover at a height of around 10–20 metres (35–65 ft) over open country and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects. Other falcons are more adapted to active hunting in flight. Kestrels are notable for usually having mostly brown in their plumage.
The barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the brant goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the cackling goose lineage.

I probably guilty of overlooking the Lola T70 and its various derivatives when I see them at events as they've never had the same appeal as the Porsche and Ferrari equivalents of the period. However the more time I spend looking at them, the fonder I get of them.
This example was shot in the pit garages at Silverstone, and again like many of my shots from that event, the reflections in the polished floor add an extra dimension.

The Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the Brent Goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the Cackling Goose lineage.The Barnacle goose was first classified taxonomically by Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1803. Its specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek leuko- "white", and opsis "faced".
In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles. It is sometimes claimed that the word comes from a Celtic word for "limpet", but the sense-history seems to go in the opposite direction.[2]The Barnacle Goose is a medium-sized goose, 60–70 cm long,[3] with a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. During flight a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible.
Barnacle Geese breed mainly on the Arctic islands of the North Atlantic. There are three main populations, with separate breeding and wintering ranges; from west to east:
Breeding in eastern Greenland, wintering on the Hebrides of western Scotland and in western Ireland. Population about 40,000.
Breeding on Svalbard, wintering on the Solway Firth on the England/Scotland border. Population about 24,000.
Breeding on Novaya Zemlya, wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 130,000.
A new fourth population, derived from the Novaya Zemlya population, has become established since 1975 breeding on the Baltic Sea islands (Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden), and wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 8,000.
Small numbers of feral birds, derived from escapes from zoo collections, also breed in other north European countries. Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.

Warum ist der Fliegenpilz giftig?
Schuld an seiner Giftigkeit sind die im Pilz enthaltene Ibotensäure und Muscimol. Ibotensäure bildet beim Trocknen oder Extrahieren der Pilze mehrere Derivate – also chemische Verbindungen, die aus einer anderen entstehen. Beim Fliegenpilz bildet sich durch diese chemische Reaktion Muscimol. Wie stark Ibotensäure und dadurch auch Muscimol im Pilz vorkommen, hängt dabei in erster Linie vom Zeitraum der Ernte, aber auch vom Fundort ab. Bestimmte Böden und Nährstoffe verstärken die Konzentration.
Why is the toadstool poisonous?
The ibotenic acid and muscimol contained in the mushroom are responsible for its toxicity. When the mushrooms are dried or extracted, ibotenic acid forms several derivatives - chemical compounds that arise from another. Muscimol is formed in the fly agaric as a result of this chemical reaction. The amount of ibotenic acid and therefore also muscimol in the mushroom depends primarily on the period of harvest, but also on the place where it was found. Certain soils and nutrients increase the concentration.

We arrived early in the morning, minutes after the cathedral opened. It was close to empty. The gothic architecture is fantastic, and the light and the colors coming from the windows makes it a beautiful experience, as well as giving some great photos.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, deliberately sounding more like Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band than The Boss himself at the height of his popularity, rode the mistaken identity ploy all the way to the top ten on the U. S. pop charts, anchoring the top-selling soundtrack album for the film "Eddie and the Cruisers (1983). The movie told the story of a rock band from New Jersey who in the 1960s had promise, but then their lead singer died (mysteriously). They had a reunion in the 80s as a result of a reporter's investigation into the singer's death. The soundtrack sounded much more 80s than 60s. The movie was a complete flop at the box office. And yet, here I am, playing air drums in public at an old drive-in theater just off Route 66, somewhere in New Mexico, I think.

Il Tagliamento (Tiliment in friulano standard, Tilimint nel friulano occidentale, Taiament, Tiument, Timent e Tuement nelle altre varianti locali del friulano, Tagiamento o Tajamento in veneto, Dülmende antico nome tedesco) è il più importante fiume del Friuli-Venezia Giulia con una lunghezza di 170 km ed un bacino fluviale ampio quasi 3000 km²; considerato l'unico dell'intero arco alpino ed uno dei pochi in Europa a conservare l'originaria morfologia a canali intrecciati, per questa caratteristica di elevata qualità idromorfologica, nonché per l'unicità dell'ecosistema fluviale nel suo complesso, viene anche detto il Re dei fiumi alpini.
L'idronimo Tagliamento trae origine probabilmente da una radice indoeuropea *telia / *tilia, che indica l'albero del tiglio. Secondo tale spiegazione, l'etimo del corso d'acqua starebbe ad indicare un "luogo dei tigli", un "fiume fiancheggiato da tigli". Una spiegazione alternativa, che non è possibile escludere, propende invece per un derivato della base celtica telo, con il significato di "sorgente d'acqua". In ogni caso, è probabile che il nome si sia formato in Carnia per poi estendersi a tutta l'asta fluviale.
La prima attestazione confermata dell'idronimo è quella dello scrittore romano Plinio, che nella sua Naturalis historia (III, 126) lo cita come «Tiliaventum Maius Minusque».

The Tagliamento seen from the Monte di Ragogna.
The Tagliamento (Tiliment in standard Friulian, Tilimint in western Friulian, Taiament, Tiument, Timent and Tuement in the other local variants of Friulian, Tagiamento or Tajamento in Veneto, Dülmende ancient German name) is the most important river in Friuli-Venezia Giulia with a 170 km long and a river basin almost 3000 km² wide; considered the only one in the entire Alpine arc and one of the few in Europe to preserve the original morphology with intertwined channels, for this characteristic of high hydromorphological quality, as well as for the uniqueness of the river ecosystem as a whole, it is also called the King of Alpine rivers.
The hydronym Tagliamento probably originates from an Indo-European root * telia / * tilia, which indicates the lime tree. According to this explanation, the etymology of the stream would indicate a "place of lime trees", a "river flanked by lime trees". An alternative explanation, which cannot be excluded, is instead inclined towards a derivative of the Celtic base cloth, with the meaning of "water source". In any case, it is likely that the name was formed in Carnia and then extended to the entire river course.
The first confirmed attestation of the hydronym is that of the Roman writer Pliny, who in his Naturalis historia (III, 126) mentions it as "Tiliaventum Maius Minusque".

Mariadistel (Silybum marianum)
De zaden van de Mariadistel worden al eeuwen lang gebruikt voor medicinale doeleinden. Uit de vruchtwand van het nootje worden stoffen voor medicinaal gebruik gewonnen. De vruchtwand bevat 4-6% van deze stoffen. De stof silymarine wordt gebruikt bij chronische leverkwalen en bij galblaaskwalen. Silibinine of een derivaat daarvan wordt gebruikt bij vergiftiging door amanieten, zoals de groene knolamaniet en de vliegenzwam. Ook wordt mariadistel veelvuldig gebruikt voor leveronderhoud bij het gebruik van orale 17aa-methylsteroïden. Verder komen nog de stoffen silydianine en silychristine voor. Mariadistel verlaagt ook LDL-cholesterol

The substance silymarin is used in chronic liver disease and gall bladder ailments. Silibinin or a derivative thereof is used in food poisoning amani, such as Amanita phalloides and the fly agaric. Also, milk thistle is frequently used for liver support with the use of oral 17aa-methyl steroids. Further, the substances silydianin and silychristin still occur. Milk thistle also lowers LDL cholesterol
Świnica (Polish) or Svinica (Slovak) is a mountain in the main crest of the High Tatras, on the Polish-Slovak border. The main peak is at 2,301 m AMSL. A marked trail leads through the summit. The Polish name Świnica (derivative form of a pig or swine) was given to this summit in the mid 19th century. It probably refers to the resemblance of the peak to silhouette of a swine. Another, doubtful explanation, is that the summit was difficult to reach

My granddaughter`s mug hand painted at play school, with some help.Esmé comes from the past participle of the Old French verb esmer, meaing “to esteem” or “to love.” It can also be considered a derivative of the Spanish name Esmeralda. Esmé was traditionally as masculine name, as in its original bearer, Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, and Esmée, with the same pronunciation, was the feminine form. Today both spellings are used as feminine given names.
The name kestrel (from French crécerelle, derivative from crécelle, i.e. ratchet) is given to several different members of the falcon genus, Falco. Kestrels are most easily distinguished by their typical hunting behaviour which is to hover at a height of around 10–20 metres (35–65 ft) over open country and swoop down on prey, usually small mammals, lizards or large insects. Other falcons are more adapted to active hunting in flight. In addition, kestrels are notable for usually having a lot of brown in their plumage.
Algebraic Chess Notation is the current and best form to learn of which Figurine Notation is a derivative swapping the piece names for figures to be langauge neutral. Chess Notation describes each move with the name of the pieces and the square to which it is moved. Each piece has its own letter abbreviation, except the pawn. If no piece is named, it’s assumed to a pawn move, and Knight is “N” not “K”, which is King.

Archaeologists exploring a cave in Spain in 1935 found baskets of poppy capsules laid beside human remains dating back to 4000 BC. On a 3,000-year-old statue from Minoan Crete, a Poppy Goddess statue wears an opium poppy headdress. According to classical Greek myths, poppies flowered along the banks of the River Lethe which flowed to Hades, and from which the dead had to drink to forget their former existence in the world of the living. Its petals are the colour of blood, and the opium poppy is a source of morphine, a powerful painkiller which made the physical agonies of war more bearable, and which was a derivative of opium.

#5151 - 2022 Day 37: What's this? Ken posting something derivative and not straight out of camera? Whatever next? Truth is I went to find Ctrl+Alt+I to resize and hit Ctrl+I instead, inverting the colours. I was actually intrigued enough to like it. That's ALL I've done though; everything else is indeed untouched.
The Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) belongs to the genus Branta of black geese, which contains species with largely black plumage, distinguishing them from the grey Anser species. Despite its superficial similarity to the Brent Goose, genetic analysis has shown it is an eastern derivative of the Cackling Goose lineage.The Barnacle goose was first classified taxonomically by Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1803. Its specific epithet is from the Ancient Greek leuko- "white", and opsis "faced".
In English, the term "barnacle" originally referred only to this species of goose and only later to the crustacean barnacles. It is sometimes claimed that the word comes from a Celtic word for "limpet", but the sense-history seems to go in the opposite direction.[2]The Barnacle Goose is a medium-sized goose, 60–70 cm long,[3] with a white face and black head, neck, and upper breast. Its belly is white. The wings and its back are silver-gray with black-and-white bars that look like they are shining when the light reflects on it. During flight a V-shaped white rump patch and the silver-gray underwing linings are visible.
Barnacle Geese breed mainly on the Arctic islands of the North Atlantic. There are three main populations, with separate breeding and wintering ranges; from west to east:
Breeding in eastern Greenland, wintering on the Hebrides of western Scotland and in western Ireland. Population about 40,000.
Breeding on Svalbard, wintering on the Solway Firth on the England/Scotland border. Population about 24,000.
Breeding on Novaya Zemlya, wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 130,000.
A new fourth population, derived from the Novaya Zemlya population, has become established since 1975 breeding on the Baltic Sea islands (Estonia, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden), and wintering in the Netherlands. Population about 8,000.
Small numbers of feral birds, derived from escapes from zoo collections, also breed in other north European countries. Occasionally, a wild bird will appear in the Northeastern United States or Canada, but care must be taken to separate out wild birds from escaped individuals, as Barnacle Geese are popular waterfowl with collectors.
