He is known for his work as a journalist , Conservative political advisor , UKIP political candidate , and for his invention of the mathematical puzzle Eternity .   Early on in his public speaking career topics centred on his mathematical puzzle and conservative politics . In recent years his public speaking has garnered attention due to his advocacy of climate change denial and his views on the European Union and social policy .

positive: British Columbia British Columbia ( BC ) is the westernmost province of Canada , with a population of more than four million people located between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains .  British Columbia is also a component of the Pacific Northwest and the Cascadia bioregion , along with the U.S. states of Idaho , Oregon , Washington , Alaska , and western Montana .   The first British settlement in the area was Fort Victoria , established in 1843 , which gave rise to the city of Victoria , at first the capital of the separate Colony of Vancouver Island . Subsequently , on the mainland , the Colony of British Columbia ( 1858 -- 66 ) was founded by Richard Clement Moody and the Royal Engineers , Columbia Detachment , in response to the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush . Moody was Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works for the Colony and the first Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia : he was hand-picked by the Colonial Office in London to transform British Columbia into the British Empire 's `` bulwark in the farthest west '' , and `` to found a second England on the shores of the Pacific '' . Moody selected the site for and founded the original capital of British Columbia , New Westminster , established the Cariboo Road and Stanley Park , and designed the first version of the Coat of arms of British Columbia . Port Moody is named after him .   In 1866 , Vancouver Island became part of the colony of British Columbia , and Victoria became the united colony 's capital . In 1871 , British Columbia became the sixth province of Canada . Its Latin motto is Splendor sine occasu ( `` Splendour without Diminishment '' ) .   The capital of British Columbia remains Victoria , the fifteenth-largest metropolitan region in Canada , named for the Queen who created the original European colonies . The largest city is Vancouver , the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada , the largest in Western Canada , and the third-largest in the Pacific Northwest . In October 2013 , British Columbia had an estimated population of 4,606,371 ( about 2.5 million of whom were in Greater Vancouver ) . The province is currently governed by the BC Liberal Party , led by Premier Christy Clark , who became leader as a result of a leadership convention vote on February 26 , 2011 , and who led her party to an election victory on May 14 , 2013 .   British Columbia evolved from British possessions that were established in what is now British Columbia by 1871 . First Nations , the original inhabitants of the land , have a history of at least 10,000 years in the area . Today there are few treaties and the question of Aboriginal Title , long ignored , has become a legal and political question of frequent debate as a result of recent court actions . Notably , the Tsilhqot ` in Nation has established Aboriginal title to a portion of their territory , as a result of the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision ( William -LSB- Tsilhqot ` in Nation -RSB- v. British Columbia ) .   BC 's economy is diverse , with service producing industries accounting for the largest portion of the province 's GDP . It is the endpoint of transcontinental railways , and the site of major Pacific ports that enable international trade . Though less than 5 % of its vast 944735 km2 land is arable , the province is agriculturally rich ( particularly in the Fraser and Okanagan valleys ) , because of milder weather near the coast and in certain sheltered southern valleys . Its climate encourages outdoor recreation and tourism , though its economic mainstay has long been resource extraction , principally logging , farming , and mining . Vancouver , the province 's largest city and metropolitan area , also serves as the headquarters of many western-based natural resource companies . It also benefits from a strong housing market and a per capita income well above the national average . While the coast of British Columbia and certain valleys in the south-central part of the province have mild weather , the majority of its land mass experiences a cold-winter-temperate climate similar to that of the rest of Canada . The Northern Interior region has a subarctic climate with very cold winters . The climate of Vancouver is by far the mildest winter climate of the major Canadian cities , with nighttime January temperatures averaging above the freezing point .

positive: Terra Nova Expedition The Terra Nova Expedition , officially the British Antarctic Expedition , was an expedition to Antarctica which took place between 1910 and 1913 . It was led by Robert Falcon Scott and had various scientific and geographical objectives . Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901 -- 04 . He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole . He and four companions attained the pole on 17 January 1912 , where they found that the Norwegian team led by Roald Amundsen had preceded them by 34 days . Scott 's entire party died on the return journey from the pole ; some of their bodies , journals , and photographs were found by a search party eight months later .   The expedition , named after its supply ship , was a private venture , financed by public contributions augmented by a government grant . It had further backing from the Admiralty , which released experienced seamen to the expedition , and from the Royal Geographical Society . The expedition 's team of scientists carried out a comprehensive scientific programme , while other parties explored Victoria Land and the Western Mountains . An attempted landing and exploration of King Edward VII Land was unsuccessful . A journey to Cape Crozier in June and July 1911 was the first extended sledging journey in the depths of the Antarctic winter .   For many years after his death , Scott 's status as tragic hero was unchallenged , and few questions were asked about the causes of the disaster which overcame his polar party . In the final quarter of the 20th century the expedition came under closer scrutiny , and more critical views were expressed about its organization and management . The degree of Scott 's personal culpability , and more recently , the culpability of certain expedition members , remain controversial .

negative: SGS/SCN SGS/SCN is an Australian regional television station serving the Spencer Gulf of South Australia and the Broken Hill area of New South Wales , owned by Southern Cross Austereo . The station is based in Port Pirie , South Australia with satellite offices in Broken Hill , Port Augusta , Whyalla and Port Lincoln , and studio and playout facilities based in Canberra .   Prior to 2004 , GTS/BKN was the only regional commercial station servicing the Spencer Gulf and Broken Hill areas . It broadcast a selection of content , ` cherry-picked ' from the three metropolitan networks Seven , Nine and Ten . GTS/BKN remained among the few stations that continued to ` cherry-pick ' content following aggregation in the 1980s , though after 2000 it began to favour content from Seven due to its ownership by Seven affiliate Southern Cross Television . In 2003 , Spencer Gulf Telecasters won the right to broadcast a second station in the same licence area , and in January 2004 , SGS/SCN was launched as a Ten-affiliated station , branded as Southern Cross Ten .

negative: Cherry picking (basketball) Cherry picking , in basketball and certain other sports , refers to play where one player ( the cherry picker ) does not play defense with the rest of the team but remains near the opponents ' goal .   If the opponents do not designate a player to stay near the cherry picker , they will have a 5-on-4 advantage as they try to score , but if the defense steals the ball , it could make a long pass to the cherry picker for an uncontested basket . Acquiring the ball by a violation or foul , or after a made basket , the cherry picker is less relevant , as the opponents have more time to put their own defense in place .   Disapproval of cherry picking stems from the fact that the cherry picker is not playing the `` complete '' game and accumulates statistics for points scored that exaggerate the player 's prowess .

negative: Cherry picking (disambiguation) Cherry picking is the fallacy of selecting evidence that supports an argument while ignoring evidence that contradicts it .   Cherry picking may also refer to :   Harvesting fruit from cherry trees  Cherry picking ( basketball ) , a strategy in basketball where a player stays near the opponents ' goal rather than playing defense  Cherry-picking tax avoidance , a form of tax avoidance in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s  Cherry-picking , moving only some revisions from one branch to another in version control

negative: Transmitter/studio link The transmitter/studio link ( or TSL ) of a radio station or television station is a return link which sends telemetry data from the remotely located radio transmitter or television transmitter back to the studio for monitoring purposes . The ` TSL may return the same way as the studio/transmitter link ( STL ) , or it can be embedded in the station 's regular broadcast signal as a subcarrier ( for analog stations ) or a separate data channel ( for digital stations ) .   Analog or digital data such as transmitter power , temperature , VSWR , voltage , modulation level , and other status information are returned so that broadcast engineering staff can correct any problems as soon as possible . These data may be attended to by an automated transmission system .

negative: MSU temperature measurements Microwave sounding unit temperature measurements have been obtained from the troposphere since 1979 , when they were included within NOAA weather satellites . By comparison , the usable balloon ( radiosonde ) record begins in 1958 but has less geographic coverage and is less uniform .   Satellites do not measure temperature . They measure radiances in various wavelength bands , which must then be mathematically inverted to obtain indirect inferences of temperature . The resulting temperature profiles depend on details of the methods that are used to obtain temperatures from radiances . As a result , different groups that have analyzed the satellite data have obtained different temperature trends . Among these groups are Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS ) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville ( UAH ) . The satellite series is not fully homogeneous - the record is constructed from a series of satellites with similar but not identical instrumentation . The sensors deteriorate over time , and corrections are necessary for satellite drift in orbit . Particularly large differences between reconstructed temperature series occur at the few times when there is little temporal overlap between successive satellites , making intercalibration difficult .   To compare to the trend from the surface temperature record ( approximately +0.07 ° C/decade over the past century and +0.15 -0.16 ° C/decade since 1979 ) it is most appropriate to derive trends for the part of the atmosphere nearest the surface , i.e. , the lower troposphere . Doing this , through January 2012 :  RSS v3 .3 finds a trend of +0.137 ° C/decade .  UAH v5 .4 finds a trend of +0.136 ° C/decade .   An alternative adjustment introduced by Fu et al. ( 2004 ) finds trends ( 1979 -- 2011 ) of +0.14 ° C/decade when applied to the RSS data set and +0.11 ° C/decade when applied to the UAH data set .   Using the T2 channel ( which include significant contributions from the stratosphere , which has cooled ) , Mears et al. of Remote Sensing Systems ( RSS ) find ( through January 2012 ) a trend of +0.082 ° C/decade . Spencer and Christy of the University of Alabama in Huntsville ( UAH ) , find a smaller trend of +0.046 ° C/decade .  A no longer updated analysis of Vinnikov and Grody found +0.20 ° C/decade ( 1978 -- 2005 ) .  Another satellite temperature analysis is provided by NOAA/NESDIS STAR Center for Satellite Application and Research and use simultaneous nadir overpasses ( SNO ) to remove satellite intercalibration biases yielding more accurate temperature trends . The SNO analysis finds a 1979-2011 trend of +0.128 ° C/decade for T2 channel .   The satellite records have the advantage of greater spatial coverage , whereas the radiosonde record is longer . There have been complaints of data problems with both records , and difficulty reconciling climate model predictions with the observed data .

negative: Francis Monckton Francis Monckton ( 7 March 1844 -- 30 September 1926 ) was an English Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1871 to 1885 .   Monckton was the eldest son of Gen. Henry Monckton of Stretton Hall , Staffordshire and his wife Ann Smythe . He was educated at Eton and Christ Church , Oxford .   In 1871 he was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Staffordshire West on the death of the previous incumbent , holding the seat until 1885 . He inherited the estates of Stretton and Somerford Hall from his uncle , George Monckton . He was High Sheriff of Staffordshire for 1895 -- 96 .   Monckton married Evelyn Mary Heber-Percy , daughter of Algernon Charles Heber-Percy and Emily Heber , on 16 July 1889 .

negative: Data (computing) Data ( -LSB- ˈdeɪtə -RSB- , or -LSB- ˈdɑːtə -RSB- ; treated as singular , plural , or as a mass noun ) is any sequence of one or more symbols given meaning by specific act ( s ) of interpretation .   Data ( or datum -- a single unit of data ) requires interpretation to become information . To translate data to information , there must be several known factors considered . The factors involved are determined by the creator of the data and the desired information . The term metadata is used to reference the data about the data . Metadata may be implied , specified or given . Data relating to physical events or processes will also have a temporal component . In almost all cases this temporal component is implied . This is the case when a device such as a temperature logger received data from a temperature sensor . When the temperature is received it is assumed that the data has a temporal references of `` now '' . So the device records the date , time and temperature together . When the data logger communicates temperatures , it must also report the date and time ( metadata ) for each temperature .   Digital data is data that is represented using the binary number system of ones ( 1 ) and zeros ( 0 ) , as opposed to analog representation . In modern ( post 1960 ) computer systems , all data is digital . Data within a computer , in most cases , moves as parallel data . Data moving to or from a computer , in most cases , moves as serial data . See Parallel communication and Serial communication . Data sourced from an analog device , such as a temperature sensor , must pass through an `` analog to digital converter '' or `` ADC '' ( see Analog-to-digital converter ) to convert the analog data to digital data .   Data representing quantities , characters , or symbols on which operations are performed by a computer are stored and recorded on magnetic , optical , or mechanical recording media , and transmitted in the form of digital electrical signals .   A program is a set of data that consists of a series of coded software instructions to control the operation of a computer or other machine . Physical computer memory elements consist of an address and a byte/word of data storage . Digital data are often stored in relational databases , like tables or SQL databases , and can generally be represented as abstract key/value pairs .   Data can be organized in many different types of data structures , including arrays , graphs , and objects . Data structures can store data of many different types , including numbers , strings and even other data structures . Data pass in and out of computers via peripheral devices .   In an alternate usage , binary files ( which are not human-readable ) are sometimes called `` data '' as distinguished from human-readable `` text '' . The total amount of digital data in 2007 was estimated to be 281 billion gigabytes ( = 281 exabytes ) .  Digital data comes in these three states : data at rest , data in transit and data in use .

negative: Rainier cherry Rainier ( pronounced : -LSB- reɪˈnɪər -RSB- - ) is a cultivar of cherry . It was developed in 1952 at Washington State University by Harold Fogle , and named after Mount Rainier . It is a cross between the ` Bing ' and ` Van ' cultivars .   ` Rainiers ' are considered a premium type of cherry . They are sweet with a thin skin and thick creamy-yellow flesh . The cherries are very sensitive to temperature , wind , and rain . About 1/3 of a ` Rainier ' cherry orchard 's crop is eaten by birds .

negative: Cherry-red spot A cherry-red spot is a finding in the macula of the eye in a variety of lipid storage disorders and in central retinal artery occlusion .  It describes the appearance of a small circular choroid shape as seen through the fovea centralis .  Its appearance is due to a relative transparency of the macula ; storage disorders cause the accumulation of storage material within the cell layers of the retina , however , the macula , which is relatively devoid of cellular layers , does not build up this material , and thus allows the eye to see through the macula to the red choroid below .   The sign was first described by Warren Tay , founding member of the British Ophthalmological Society , in 1881 , with reference to a patient with Tay -- Sachs disease .   The cherry red spot is seen in central retinal artery occlusion , appearing several hours after the blockage of the retinal artery occurs . The cherry red spot is seen because the macula receives its blood supply from the choroid , supplied by the posterior ciliary arteries , while the surrounding retina is pale due to retinal artery infarction . It is also seen in several other conditions , classically Tay -- Sachs disease , but also in Niemann -- Pick disease , Sandhoff disease , and mucolipidosis .

negative: Cherry shrimp Neocaridina davidi var . red or cherry shrimp is a variety of freshwater shrimp from Taiwan which is commonly kept in aquariums . The natural colouration of the shrimp is green-brown , however the red morph is more frequently sold . The density of coloration on adult shrimp , dependent on breeding , determines their sale price and `` quality '' ( grading ) . This `` quality '' is purely aesthetic , as the size , behavior and other characteristics of the animal is more or less equal across varieties . Full-grown cherry shrimp reach about 4 cm long . They prefer clean water , with a pH of 6.5-8 , and a temperature of 14 - They are most comfortable at 22 C. Cherry shrimp are omnivores that may live 1 -- 2 years . These shrimp have previously been classified as Neocaridina heteropoda and Neocaridina denticulata sinensis , however are now known as Neocaridina davidi which is based on the oldest known published description of the species .

negative: Williams–Landel–Ferry equation The Williams -- Landel -- Ferry Equation ( or WLF Equation ) is an empirical equation associated with time -- temperature superposition .   The WLF equation has the form   where T is the temperature , Tr is a reference temperature chosen to construct the compliance master curve and C1 , C2 are empirical constants adjusted to fit the values of the superposition parameter aT .   The equation can be used to fit ( regress ) discrete values of the shift factor aT vs. temperature . Here , values of shift factor aT are obtained by horizontal shift log ( aT ) of creep compliance data plotted vs. time or frequency in double logarithmic scale so that a data set obtained experimentally at temperature T superposes with the data set at temperature Tr . A minimum of three values of aT are needed to obtain C1 , C2 , and typically more than three are used .   Once constructed , the WLF equation allows for the estimation of the temperature shift factor for temperatures other than those for which the material was tested . In this way , the master curve can be applied to other temperatures . However , when the constants are obtained with data at temperatures above the glass transition temperature ( Tg ) , the WLF equation is applicable to temperatures at or above Tg only ; the constants are positive and represent Arrhenius behavior . Extrapolation to temperatures below Tg is erroneous . When the constants are obtained with data at temperatures below Tg , negative values of C1 , C2 are obtained , which are not applicable above Tg and do not represent Arrhenius behavior . Therefore , the constants obtained above Tg are not useful for predicting the response of the polymer for structural applications , which necessarily must operate at temperatures below Tg .   The WLF equation is a consequence of time -- temperature superposition ( TTSP ) , which mathematically is an application of Boltzmann 's superposition principle . It is TTSP , not WLF , that allows the assembly of a compliance master curve that spans more time , or frequency , than afforded by the time available for experimentation or the frequency range of the instrumentation , such as dynamic mechanical analyzer ( DMA ) .   While the time span of a TTSP master curve is broad , according to Struik , it is valid only if the data sets did not suffer from ageing effects during the test time . Even then , the master curve represents a hypothetical material that does not age . Effective Time Theory . needs to be used to obtain useful prediction for long term time .   Having data above Tg , it is possible to predict the behavior ( compliance , storage modulus , etc. ) of viscoelastic materials for temperatures T > Tg , and/or for times/frequencies longer/slower than the time available for experimentation . With the master curve and associated WLF equation it is possible to predict the mechanical properties of the polymer out of time scale of the machine ( typically to Hz ) , thus extrapolating the results of multi-frequency analysis to a broader range , out of measurement range of machine .

negative: EUREF Permanent Network EUREF Permanent Network ( EPN ) is a European Network of more than 200 continuously operating GNSS reference stations with precisely known coordinates referenced to the ETRS89 . EPN is the key instrument in the maintenance of ETRS89 geodetic datum . The EPN stations collect continuously the observation data from high accuracy GPS/GLONASS receivers . The data is processed in the centralized way in a few data processing centres . EPN is created and maintained by a voluntary agreement of about 100 European agencies and universities . EPN activities are coordinated by EUREF .

negative: Air data computer An air data computer ( ADC ) is an essential avionics component found in modern glass cockpits . This computer , rather than individual instruments , can determine the calibrated airspeed , Mach number , altitude , and altitude trend data from an aircraft 's pitot-static system . In some very high speed aircraft such as the Space Shuttle , equivalent airspeed is calculated instead of calibrated airspeed .   The first air data computer patented in the US was developed by John H. Andresen .   Air data computers usually also have an input of total air temperature . This enables computation of static air temperature and true airspeed .   In Airbus aircraft the air data computer is combined with altitude , heading and navigation sources in a single unit known as the Air Data Inertial Reference Unit ( ADIRU ) . This has now been replaced by Global Navigation Air Data Inertial Reference System ( GNADIRS ) .

negative: Cherry Hill station (Baltimore Light Rail) Cherry Hill station is a Baltimore Light Rail stop in Baltimore , Maryland . There is currently no free public parking at this station , but connections can be made to 3 of MTA Maryland 's buses from here .   The Cherry Hill stop is accessible to the streets via a walking tunnel . When the station opened in 1992 , this raised concerns about safety , as the tunnel could be a hideout for muggers . The agency then known as the Mass Transit Administration pledged to keep a police vehicle parked at the station at all times to address these concerns .

negative: Stretton Hall, Staffordshire Stretton Hall is an early 18th-century mansion house at Stretton , South Staffordshire . It is the home of a branch of the Monckton family descended from John Monckton 1st Viscount Galway . It is a privately owned Grade II * listed building , not open to the public .   The house built by John Congreve in about 1700 was originally two-storeyed with dormers above , a three-bay pedimented central block and two-bayed wings with a central pedimented entrance door .   General Henry Monckton ( 1780 -- 1854 ) , a son of Edward Monckton and Sophia Pigot of Somerford Hall , purchased the estate in about 1845 . He died in 1854 , passing the estate on to his son , Francis Monckton . Four years later , Francis inherited Somerford , which had passed through the hands of two childless uncles , Edward and George .  The Somerford inheritance included Coven and Engleton , two large neighbouring estates . Francis already resided at Stretton and moved the family seat there permanently , renting out Somerford Hall . In the 1860s he carried out extensive alterations at Stretton including a third storey and a new entrance front .   Several members of the family have served as High Sheriff of Staffordshire , the latest being Mrs Joanna Bird Monckton in 1995 .

negative: Climatological normal Climatological normal is a 30-year average of a weather variable . Climatological normals are used as an average or baseline to evaluate climate events and provide context for year-to-year variability . Normals can be calculated for a variety of weather variables including temperature and precipitation and rely on data from weather stations . Variability from the 30-year averages is typical and climate variability looks at the magnitude of extremes .


query: Rather, global polar bear numbers have been stable or slightly improved.”

positive: Polar bear The polar bear ( ursus #Latin maritimus #Latin ) is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle , encompassing the Arctic Ocean , its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses . It is a large bear , approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear ( Ursus arctos middendorffi ) . A boar ( adult male ) weighs around 350 -- , while a sow ( adult female ) is about half that size . Although it is the sister species of the brown bear , it has evolved to occupy a narrower ecological niche , with many body characteristics adapted for cold temperatures , for moving across snow , ice and open water , and for hunting seals , which make up most of its diet . Although most polar bears are born on land , they spend most of their time on the sea ice . Their scientific name means `` maritime bear '' and derives from this fact . Polar bears hunt their preferred food of seals from the edge of sea ice , often living off fat reserves when no sea ice is present . Because of their dependence on the sea ice , polar bears are classified as marine mammals ; an alternative basis for classification as marine mammals is that they depend on the ocean as their main food source .   Because of expected habitat loss caused by climate change , the polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species , and at least three of the nineteen polar bear subpopulations are currently in decline . For decades , large-scale hunting raised international concern for the future of the species , but populations rebounded after controls and quotas began to take effect . For thousands of years , the polar bear has been a key figure in the material , spiritual , and cultural life of circumpolar peoples , and polar bears remain important in their cultures .

negative: Ursid hybrid An ursid hybrid is an animal with parents from two different species or subspecies of the Ursidae ( bear ) family . Species and subspecies of bear known to have produced offspring with another bear species or subspecies include brown bears , black bears , grizzly bears and polar bears , all of which are members of the Ursus genus . Bears not included in Ursus , such as the giant panda , are probably unable to produce hybrids . Note all of the confirmed hybrids listed here have been in captivity ( except grizzly/polar bear ) , but there have been hybrids in the wild .   A recent study found genetic evidence of multiple instances and species combinations where genetic material has passed the species boundary in bears ( a process called introgression by geneticists ) . Specifically , species with evidence of past intermingling were ( 1 ) brown bear and American black bear , ( 2 ) brown bear and polar bear , ( 3 ) American black bear and Asian black bear , ( 4 ) bears currently distributed in Asia ( sloth bear , sun bear and Asian black bear ) . Overall , this study shows that evolution in the bear family ( Ursidae ) has not been strictly bifurcation , but instead showed complex evolutionary relationships .

negative: Polar Bear (locomotive) Polar Bear is a Bagnall steam locomotive built in 1905 for the Groudle Glen Railway , to supplement the similar but slightly smaller Sea Lion . The two Bagnalls were temporarily taken out of service in the 1920s when they were replaced by a pair of battery locomotives . These proved unsatisfactory , and Polar Bear and Sea Lion were returned to traffic . The railway was closed for the duration of World War II , and when the line reopened in the late 1940s only Polar Bear was returned to traffic . Following the 1962 closure of the GGR , Polar Bear was sold to the Brockham Museum Trust in 1967 . In 1982 it passed , with the rest of the Brockham collection , to the Amberley Museum Railway , where it was returned to traffic in the early 1980s . Polar Bear '' 's boiler was condemned around 1988 , returning to service with a new boiler in 1993 . Its boiler certificate expired at the end of 2010 ; with a retube and work on the firebox being required before a return to service . Since being based at Amberley , Polar Bear has returned to the Groudle Glen on three occasions ( 1993 , 1996 and 2005 ) to visit.Polar Bear was stripped down for overhaul in early 2011 . The boiler was moved to Chatham for overhaul , with mechanical work being undertaken in-house at Amberley . The boiler was returned to Amberley in January 2012 . Polar Bear was relaunched on 13 July 2013 by BBC newsreader and railway enthusiast Nicholas Owen , and is now in service sharing steam passenger duties at Amberley with the museum 's 1917 Bagnall 0-4-0ST Peter . ''   Polar Bear made its fourth visit home to the Groudle Glen Railway since it was preserved in late July 2016 . After its two week stay there , it returned home to Amberley museum .

negative: Ursus maritimus tyrannus Ursus maritimus tyrannus ( meaning tyrant polar bear ) is an extinct subspecies of polar bear , known from a single fragmentary ulna found in the gravels of the Thames at Kew Bridge , London . It was named by the Finnish paleontologist Björn Kurtén in 1964 and is interpreted to represent a relatively large subadult individual : the ulna is estimated to have been 48.5 cm long when complete . For comparison , modern subadult polar bear ulnae are 36 - long .   An unpublished reinvestigation of the fossil suggests that the fossil is actually a brown bear .

negative: Polar city A polar city is a proposed sustainable polar retreat designed to house human beings in the future , in the event that global warming causes the equatorial and middle latitudes of the Earth to become uninhabitable for a long period of time . Although they have not been built yet , some futurists have been giving considerable thought to the concepts involved . High-population-density cities , to be built near the Arctic Rim and in Antarctica , New Zealand , Tasmania , and Patagonia , with sustainable energy and transportation infrastructure , will require substantial nearby agriculture . Boreal soils are largely poor in key nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus , but nitrogen-fixing plants ( such as the various alders ) with the proper symbiotic microbes and mycorrhizal fungi can likely remedy such poverty without the need for petroleum-derived fertilizers . Regional probiotic soil improvement should perhaps rank high on any polar cities priority list . James Lovelock 's notion of a widely distributed almanac of science knowledge and post-industrial survival skills also appears to have value .

negative: Polar organelle Polar organelle ( German : Basalkörper-Membran , also referred to in some microbiological literature articles as `` polar membrane '' or `` polar cap '' ) is a specialized region of the lipid cell membrane in bacterial cells , usually located at or near the so-called poles ( e.g. the ends of a cylindrical cell ) . This region can easily be distinguished from the `` normal '' membrane regions in ultrathin sections of embedded bacteria by electron microscopy when the cell membrane is orientated perpendicular to the viewing direction . There , the membrane appears slightly thickened with a finely frilled layer facing the inside of the cell .  It is also possible to isolate these polar organelles from the bacterial cells and study them in face view in negatively stained preparations . The polar organelle bears a fine array of attached particles in hexagonal close packing and these have been shown to possess ATPase activity . The polar organelle is invariably found in close juxtaposition to the points of insertion of the bacterial flagella into the plasma membrane , especially where multiple flagella bases are grouped in a region of the cell membrane . It may thus be inferred that the polar organelle could be of importance in the supply and transfer of energy to the bidirectional molecular rotational motor situated at the base of each individual bacterial flagellum ( see also Electrochemical gradient ) .

negative: Polar capsule Polar capsules are structures found in the valves of Myxosporean parasites , which contain the polar filament . The polar capsule is constructed of a proteinaceous and a polysaccharide layer , both layers of which continue into the polar filament .   The mouth of the capsule is covered with a cap-like structure . This structure may function as a stopper , its digestion in the alimentary tract possibly triggering the discharge of the polar filaments .   Two ideas have been proposed to explain the eversion of the polar filaments . Firstly , that the hydrostatic pressure in the polar capsule pushes the filament out , rather like the cnidocyst of coelenterates . The second is that extrusion is an active process involving contractile proteins and is calcium-dependent ( Uspenskaya , 1982 ) .

negative: List of fatal bear attacks in North America Fatal bear attacks in North America have occurred in a variety of settings . There have been several in the bears ' wilderness habitats involving hikers , hunters , and campers . Brown bear incidents have occurred in their native range spanning Alaska , Northern and Western Canada , and portions of the Rocky Mountains in the United States . The locations of black bear wilderness fatal attacks reflect their wider range : all Canadian Provinces except the Atlantic Provinces and several major mountainous areas in the United States .   Bears held captive by animal trainers , in zoos , carnivals , or kept as pets have been responsible for several attacks . There have also been unusual cases in which a person entered a bear 's cage and was then mauled .   Bear attacks are extremely rare . Attacks are for predatory , territorial , or protective reasons . Most wilderness attacks have occurred when there was only one to two persons in the vicinity .   In this list , three species of bear are recognized : the brown bear ( Ursus arctos ) , the American black bear ( Ursus americanus ) , and the polar bear ( Ursus maritimus ) .

negative: Bear in heraldry The bear as heraldic charge is not as widely used as the lion , boar or other beasts .   In England it occurs mostly in canting arms , e.g. in the familial coats of arms of Barnard , Baring , Barnes , Bearsley , etc. . In English heraldry , a bear 's head is usually muzzled , and is more commonly used as a charge than the whole beast .   The bear in the coat of arms of Berlin is also used cantingly , and appears in representations of the Berlin coats of arms in the early modern period ( used alongside the Prussian and Brandenburg eagles until the early 20th century ) . Also canting , but associated with a legendary false etymology of the city 's name , is the bear in the coat of arms of Berne .   The bear is also used in arms representing Saint Gall , based on a legend of the saint involving a bear .  This is the origin of the bear in the coat of arms in the Abbey of Saint Gall and of Appenzell . The bear of Appenzell is represented pizzled ; omission of the bear 's penis from the coat of arms of Appenzell was seen as a grave insult , and was notoriously forgotten by the printer of a calendar printed in Saint Gallen 1579 , which brought Appenzell to the brink of war with Saint Gallen .   The saddled bear of Saint Corbinian 's legend is the heraldic symbol of Freising , Bavaria , and the Diocese of Munich and Freising . Pope Benedict XVI , former archbishop of Munich , also applied it in his Papal Arms .   In 1666 a polar bear on a blue field was added to the greater/royal arms of the king of Denmark to represent Greenland . It has since then been adopted by Greenland itself as its coat of arms , with the current version having been adopted in 1989 . The Greenlandic version bucks European heraldic tradition in favour of Inuit custom by having the bear 's left arm raised rather than the right ; when used in Denmark the right is raised . It is officially blazoned Azure , a polar bear rampant argent and as such neither version contradicts the other .

negative: Polar Bear Provincial Park Polar Bear Provincial Park is an isolated wilderness park in the far north of Ontario , Canada . It lies on the western shore where James Bay joins Hudson Bay . The terrain is part of the Hudson Bay Lowlands and features unspoiled low-lying tundra in the Hudson Plains ecozone .   Administered by Ontario Parks , the 23552 km2 Polar Bear Provincial Park is the largest park in Ontario . It has no visitor facilities , is reachable only by air , and special permission is required before visiting it . Its primary purpose is the preservation of habitat for wildlife , especially the several hundred polar bears that migrate through the area .   Visitors to Polar Bear should be prepared for any eventuality . They should bring at least one week 's extra supplies in case their departure is delayed due to bad weather . Tents should not rise any higher than necessary , due to the possibility of strong winds .  Polar Bear Provincial Park has been designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention since May 1987 .

negative: The Little Polar Bear The Little Polar Bear ( Der kleine Eisbär ) is a franchise about a polar bear cub named Lars who first starred in a number of books written by Dutch author , Hans de Beer .   It later became an animated TV series for BBC TV , Lars , der Kleine Eisbär , in the 1990s . The show proved to be popular in Germany , but its English-dubbed version ( titled The Little Polar Bear ) had also gained a cult following with UK viewers .   The show was later revived between 2001 and 2003 . For its first film , subtitled Der Kinofilm , Warner Bros. and animation studio Rothkirch Cartoon Film bought the rights to adapt the children 's books into a feature-length film , released in 2001 .   Following the success of the feature , several direct-to-video features were released , one of the new characters included was a tiger cub . In 2005 , another film , The Little Polar Bear 2 -- The Mysterious Island ( Der Kleine Eisbär 2 : Die geheimnisvolle Insel ) was released and also proved successful .   The score to The Little Polar Bear ( 1 ) was composed by Nigel Clarke & Michael Csanyi-Wills and recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London and was nominated for several awards .

negative: Stable nuclide Stable nuclides are nuclides that are not radioactive and so ( unlike radionuclides ) do not spontaneously undergo radioactive decay . When such nuclides are referred to in relation to specific elements , they are usually termed stable isotopes .   The 80 elements with one or more stable isotopes comprise a total of 253 nuclides that have not been known to decay using current equipment ( see list at the end of this article ) . Of these elements , 26 have only one stable isotope ; they are thus termed monoisotopic . The rest have more than one stable isotope . Tin has ten stable isotopes , the largest number known for an element .

It features a polar bear , a lion , a hippopotamus , a flamingo , a zebra , a boa constrictor , an elephant , a leopard , a peacock , a walrus , a zoo keeper and some children .   This is a companion book to Brown Bear , Brown Bear , What Do You See ? , published by Carle and Martin in 1967 , replacing the earlier text 's colours and common animals with sounds and less common creatures .

negative: Repetition priming Repetition priming refers to improvements in a behavioural response when stimuli are repeatedly presented . The improvements can be measured in terms of accuracy or reaction time , and can occur when the repeated stimuli are either identical or similar to previous stimuli . These improvements have been shown to be cumulative , so as the number of repetitions increases the responses get continually faster up to a maximum of around seven repetitions . These improvements are also found when the repeated items are changed slightly in terms of orientation , size and position . The size of the effect is also modulated by the length of time the item is presented for and the length time between the first and subsequent presentations of the repeated items .

negative: The Polar Bear Family & Me The Polar Bear Family & Me was a three-part nature documentary series produced by the BBC Natural History Unit . It follows wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan as he spends a year with a family of wild , but frosty polar bears , under the guidance of his biologist Jason Roberts , the polar expertise of the Antarctic region and Svalbard near Norwegian archipelago of the Arctic Ocean .

negative: Spherical roller bearing A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits rotation with low friction , and permits angular misalignment . Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the -LSB- bore -RSB- of the inner ring that may be misaligned in respect to the outer ring . The misalignment is possible due to the spherical internal shape of the outer ring and spherical rollers.Despite what their name may imply , spherical roller bearings are not truly spherical in shape . The rolling elements of spherical roller bearings are mainly cylindrical in shape , but have a profile that makes them appear like cylinders that have been slightly over-inflated .

negative: Main bearing In a piston engine , the main bearings are the bearings on which the crankshaft rotates , usually plain or journal bearings . The bearings hold the crankshaft in place and prevent the forces created by the piston and transmitted to the crankshaft by the connecting rods from dislodging the crankshaft , instead forcing the crank to convert the reciprocating movement into rotation .   While some small single-cylinder engines have only one main bearing , designed to deal with the bending moment exerted by the crank as a result of the force from the connecting rod , most engines have at least two main bearings , one at each end of the crank shaft and may have as many as one more than the number of crank pins . Increasing the number of bearings in an engine will generally increase the size and cost of the engine , but also provides stability to the crankshaft , which would otherwise have to endure greater bending moments from having the crank pin further from a bearing . The combination of bearing number and crankshaft design can also have an effect on engine balance ; a more stable crankshaft will better avoid unbalance from flexing , but increasing the crankshaft length or girth to accommodate an additional bearing increases the rotational inertia of the crankshaft , which can have the opposite effect .   Most modern automotive engines have one main bearing at each end of the crankshaft and another in between each adjacent pair of connecting rod journals , but not all engines conform to this generalization . Notable exceptions include the Ford flathead V-8 , which had only three main bearings , and Chevrolet 's inline-six cylinder engine , which had in various iterations , three , four or seven main bearings .   When describing a crankshaft design , the number of main bearings is generally quoted , as the number of crank pins is determined by the engine configuration . For example , a crankshaft for an inline six engine will be described as three bearing or four bearing depending on its number of main bearings ; The crank pins are not counted in this description . Similarly , when speaking of a crankshaft , the journals are the main bearing journals only . The crank pins are not normally called journals although they form the centre shafts of the big end bearings and are therefore journals in the more general sense .
