Microsoft Rewards' quiz on Polar Bears is linked through 'the bold hyperlinks' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
Polar Bears are #Bears covered in White |Fur (over Black Skin) who live in the Arctic Circle (near the North #Pole). \ #PolarBear #PolarBears
The word “Pole”---the 'end of Earth's axis'-meaning is built on ancient words that mean Revolve, Move |Round. \ #Polar #Multipolar #PoleStar #Polaris; the 'resident of #Poland'-meaning is built on ancient words that mean Field #Polack #Polish; the 'stake, staff'-meaning is built on ancient words that mean "to Fasten." #Beanpole #Flagpole #PoleVault #Ridgepole #Poles
The word "Bears" (the mammal of the family Ursidae) is built on ancient words that mean " |Bright, |Brown" or maybe "the Dark Animal" ( |Beaver, |Toad). \ #Bear #Bears #BearBaiting #BearHug #Bearish #Bearskin #Bugbear #CaveBear
International Polar Bear Day was created in 2005 by the conservation group called Polar Bears International to bring attention to the important role these alpha predators play in the Arctic ecosystem. This image was taken from the 2007 documentary film 'Earth,' which focuses on wild habitats and creatures across the planet.
I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Hugo Black, Johnny Van Zant (of Lynyrd Skynyrd), Donal Logue (Harvey Bullock on GOTHAM)
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's in Green.
