...Memorandum To: Big Wig, CFO, Big Bear Power From: James Albert Date: March 24th, 2016 Subject: The Bear Minimum Statement of Relevant Facts: Big Bear Power and Goliath Company entered into a contract in which Big Bear leased a combustion turbine. * The contract was signed on December 15th, 2004, but did not begin until January 1st, 2005. * The contract lasts for 10 years and is non-cancelable * Big Bear pays $500,000 in legal counsel fees, and are required to pay $1,000,000 in legal fees incurred by Goliath Co. * If Big Bear’s bank declares default, Big Bear will have to pay a penalty. * Big Bear is in default if “material adverse change” is proven (not defined in the contract) * The chance of default is remote. * The bank has no relationship with Goliath Co. * The annual lease payments are $1,000,000 and payable over 12 months at the beginning of each month * Big Bear will pay the minimum payment plus the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) (most recent increase is 4%) Identification of Issues and Alternatives: The issue with this case is determining if the stated provisions will be included in the minimum lease payments.

...In the last two centuries, grizzly bears had been hunted and persecuted to extinction and mistaken as black bears. Grizzly bears are often portrayed as dangerous, voracious creatures who hunt and kill people, but they're nothing like that at all. In fact, they are not aggressive unless you’re the one causing a ruckus or being a threat around their cubs or food sources. Grizzly bears are quite intelligent, beautiful and unique creatures who have great memory, senses of hearing, and smell. But, since they are incorrectly portrayed as a threat, people are most likely to not be in favor of them. The FEDS are ready to delist grizzly bears and hunters are ready to make them trophies. David Suzuki, author of Grizzly Bear Trophy Hunt Is a Sport Like Dogfighting is one of many who oppose to killing grizzly bears. David Suzuki finds it inhumane to kill these animals for your own selfish and pleasurable means. On the contrary, Steven Rinella, author of The Problem with Protecting Grizzly Bears is in favor of killing grizzly bears. Due to the amount of money put into protecting these bears from harm's way, it's a waste of money. By reading both positions, it becomes apparent that it is inhumane to kill a grizzly bear as a trophy you hang...

...In the book Touching Spirit Bear, the main character is a boy named Cole Mathews. He is very aggressive towards other people and as a result has been to multiple juvenile detention centers and police stations. There was one situation where he robbed a hardware store, trashed it, then bragged openly about doing it because the police hadn't caught him. A boy named Peter turned him in and as a result, Cole beat up Peter to the point where he had to be hospitalized and later had speech issues. Cole went to yet another juvenile detention center where an officer visited him regularly and informed him about a program called Circle Justice where instead of locking the kid up, they help them “heal”. Cole was accepted and they decided to put him on an...

...About one-third of Bigfoot sightings are concentrated in the North America, while Bigfoot advocates, postulate that Bigfoot is a worldwide phenomenon: Bigfoot researchers and critics agree that approximately 80% sightings are misidentification, as the reported size of Bigfoot approximates that of a bear standing on its hind legs, and bears have a high prevalence in regions said to be inhabited by Bigfoot. Bigfoot sightings or footprints are often demonstrably hoaxes as seen through this contemporary example. On July 9, 2008, Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton posted a video on YouTube claiming that they had discovered the body of a deceased Sasquatch in northern Georgia forest. They received $50,000 from Tom Biscardi; Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. Popular news networks covered the story of the men's claims across the globe. The alleged Bigfoot body arrived in a block of ice in a freezer with the Searching for Bigfoot team. When the contents were thawed, it was discovered that the hair was fake, the head was hollow, and the feet were rubber. Subsequently, the discoverers...

...teachers didn’t care about how you were doing in the class all they wanted to do it teach the material and test you on it. Cole would sleep and play on his phone or doodle and not pay attention in class because he thought that it didn’t matter. This really hurt him because he got decent grades in 8th grade but he could have done a lot better. The start of 9th grade was the most important year of high school besides senior year. This is when your grades count towards your transcript for high school graduation. Well as Cole found out this is also right around the same time that people started drinking and doing drugs. All of Coles friends began drinking and smoking and he thought oh no big deal everyone experiences it. Now that Cole and all his friends were drinking and smoking this played a really big effect on his school work. Instead of doing homework he was too lazy to do stuff so he just chilled and played Xbox all the time. Cole would miss school a lot too because he just didn’t feel like going to school. This was a bad habit Cole started that will continue until he does something about it. The next 2 years of high school we some of the best times Cole has ever had in his life but his school work and school in general needed to be fixed. Cole was having the time of his life but needed to focus a little more on school just to get by. Coles teachers and guidance counselors reminded him that he was doing bad in school and he should do something about it but Cole went on his way...

...threatening to remove grizzly bears from the Endangered Species list. While the grizzly bear population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has increased since the bears were added to the listing in 1975, the struggles to survive continue (U.S. Park Service). The Defenders of Wildlife agree that the government needs to keep protecting the grizzly bear because of the threats of human encounters, habitat availability and climate change. First, human encounters are a risk to the survival of grizzly bears. The National Park Service at Yellowstone reports that the management of grizzlies will not change within the park if these animals are removed from the list. Hunting will still not be allowed in the area. However, grizzly bears do not know the boundaries of the park. The states that surround the area could allow hunting of these animals during their regular seasons. As a result, the population of grizzly bears would decline. Next, habitats for grizzly bears are still fragile. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is an ideal place for these bears to live and thrive, but outside the area there are many dangers. Humans continue...

...Bears may be large and intimidating, but do not pose a threat to humanity. This essay will go deep into the myths about bears to uncover the truth behind these myths. What are these myths? Bears for years have been portrayed as deadly, overwhelming beasts which attack on sight, but after years of research, is this true? Primarily, over the years the years the media and public have made many false stories about bloodthirsty bears. One outrageous myth is that if bears taste human food, they don't go back; yet, “bears prefer natural, wild food unless it is difficult to find and human food is too easy to get” (Rogders). This is proof that bears do not go out of their way for humans; they prefer natural food. In summary, bears are not blood thirsty creatures but intelligent animals that do not pose a threat to humans if handled appropriately....

...sensationalized then ever before in human history. As people become more disconnected with nature and animals, more and more people are becoming depressed through their hectic lives and often yearn to be reconnected to the natural world again. However, the bond between humans and the wild are connected through the lens of a camera. As Chris Palmer has mentioned “During primetime in September 2008, more than 30 million viewers tuned in to Animal Planet, which is now seen in 94 million households in the United States and more than 220 million internationally.”(Palmer. Pg 5). Larger and more expensive productions such as Arctic Tale gives audiences a newer cinematic experience to the wild habitat. The films overall journey follows Nanu the polar bear and ** the seal in their struggle to find food because of the effects from...

A Harris poll indicated that Americans, on average, believed that there is a 50 percent chance that they will be seriously hurt in a car accident. In reality, the chance of this is about 5 percent. The average woman believes that she has a 40 percent chance of getting breast cancer. However, the chance of this happening is actually only one in ten, or ten percent. Women also believe that they have a 50 percent chance of having a heart attack, but the actual risk is just one in ten. The average man believes that he has about a 40 percent chance of getting prostate cancer, yet in reality the risk is also only one in ten. Although most people estimate their chance of getting HIV/AIDS to be about one in ten, the risk is actually about one in twenty, or 5 percent.

During the National address focusing on civil rights, President John F. Kennedy acknowledged that the nation faced a moral crisis.

...Known for their hump in between their shoulders the grizzly bear once ruled the very streets we walk on during the early 1800s; given the name “grizzly” due to the hair having golden-silver tips. With the influx of European settlers in North America came competition for space and food with the grizzly bear, these situations lead to a huge decrease in the number of grizzly bears roaming. The use of home decoration, sport, clothing, and same food sources lead to once about 50,000 grizzly bears diminished down to about 1200 during 1850-1920 and currently the Grizzly bear is threatened. The grizzly bear is a massive size creature that can grow to be as tall as 6ft on all fours and when standing can be 8ft tall. That height causes for much weight...

...I’ve been called to decide the cast for the movie of Touching Spirit Bear. To do this I’ve watched multiple auditions and had to pick the best ones. Everyone who auditioned gave a great effort but I’ve finally decided who got the lead roles. For the character playing Cole Matthews I’ve chosen a teenager named Bran from the book House On The Gulf . I think Bran and Cole are very much alike. The two guys are sneaky and regretful of their mistakes. Both characters have made mistakes that had a huge impact on their life. But both characters eventually made things right again. For example Cole told Peter, “‘I’ll do anything to help you and make things right’” (Mikaelsen, 235). And since Bran illegally lived in another family’s house, he had to work out a deal and make things right so he wouldn’t end up in jail....
