🪶 Helen has chosen #BestBeaks as #BirdOfTheDay theme; a bird with a beak/bill with striking colours, bold profiles or an interesting shape Alt. is #YellowElements; the colour yellow found on a bird - Pink-Backed Pelican, with a yellow bill #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

A Pink-Backed Pelican standing on a rock in an artificial pond, facing the camera. The bird is left of centre of frame and is facing the camera with its head turned to the left so that its left side is visible. It has a long, yellowish bill, which is tucked into its body and pointing downward, slightly open. The plumage on its head and back are a light grey and its underbelly is white. It has a white crest on the top of its head which is drooping behind its eye. It has pink, webbed feet with prominent nails at the end of the toes.
The rock is a light sand colour, washed from past bird droppings. The water around it has a green tinge and there is an artificial, concrete bank behind it with three shallow channels scored across it parallel with the water line. The background is a wall of boulders in shadow.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

A dark brown bird stands on a chain link fence. The feathers have cream colored highlights. The bird faces left and its beak is wide open. The wings are opening. But not fully spread.

A Nothern Gannet in flight across the sky. The bird is centre of the shot, to the right slightly and flying from right to left.
It has a long pointed bill which is blue-grey in colour. Its black skin can be seen around the bill and eye. It has a yellowish colouration around the head and neck and a snowy white body. The outer half of its wings, which are in a downbeat, are black.
The sky is a blend of blue and white, out of focus and featureless

A Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) in flight against a pale, overcast sky, seen from below and slightly to the side. The head and body are white with a warm golden-buff wash on the crown and nape, the wings mostly white with sharply defined black-brown flight feathers along the trailing edge and wingtip. The bird is captured mid-wingbeat with wings raised and slightly bent, neck extended forward and the pale blue-grey bill pointed down and to the right. Background is soft, featureless white-grey, keeping full attention on the bird's form. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.

Petroleum is from Latin/Greek 'petros' + 'oleum', so "rock oil". It first appears in De Natura Fossilium (1546), referring to liquid bitumen that seeps from rocks. Abbreviation "petrol" entered use around 1870. The French term "essence" is an abbreviation of "essence de pétrole."

In the Americas, it's mostly some version of 'gasoline'. To the British & India, 'petrol', but in France, 'essence'. 'Naptha/nafta' in Argentina & in Italy, Eastern Europe & North Africa: 'benzene' (or 'benzin'). Let's explore why "make-car-go-juice" has so many names.

From reddit, a map of the world color-coded by "What Gasoline is called around the World", and there are six categories, petrol, gasoline, benzene, essence, naphtha, and "others" which is mostly China.

It’s important to get your cats vaccinated too! More than 250 cats are reported to have rabies every year in the U.S. While this may seem like a small amount when compared to the total cat population, which numbers in the tens of millions, it's not insignificant. • www.dailypaws.com/cats-kittens...

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
