to create an effective and efficient terrorist group profile, you must be sure to include the following information:

• Aliases
• Bases of Operation
• Date Formed
• Strength/Number of members
• Organizational Structure
• Classification (i.e. Religious, Nationalist, etc.)
• Is there a leader?
  • Provide a photo of the group leader
  • Group Leader Demographics (i.e. DOB, Place of Birth, Citizenship Height, Weight, Eyes, Languages, etc.)
  • Is there a reward for the capture of the group leader? If so, how much is the reward?
• Financial Sources
• Founding Philosophy
• Brief History of the Terrorist Group
• Current Short Term & Long Term Goals
• Current Model and Trend of Terrorism (i.e. Rural, Urban, Insurgent)
  • Note: These three models represent general trends from 1945-Present. Since terrorism is dynamic, the models are generalizations. They illustrate shifts in strategy and specific tactics of terrorism. These models help to explain the evolution and practice of contemporary and modern terrorism.
  • How are law enforcement entities and government agencies using this information to track and catch these networks using counter-terrorist operational tactics?
• Methods or Tactics of Attack
• If applicable: Related Groups
• Has the United States designated this group as a foreign or terrorist organization? If so, in what year was this group designated?
• Have other international governments’ designated this group at all? If so, in what year was this group designated?

After reading Chapter 9 of the textbook, discuss the following questions to the best of your abilities:

-Let's pretend that you recently moved from Italy to the United States. How can you adjust to a new society and connect to people in a different community?

-In your own words, state what does “living in a diverse world” mean to you?

-Name two positive effects and two negative effects of using communication technology.

-Define “prejudice” and name three causes of prejudice.

-Describe why “I” statements are so important to successful communication with a close friend or partner.

Important notice: Your professor will consider these elements when assessing the quality and level of student participation.

Submit initial post(s) early in the session and subsequent responses to the posts of other learners at timely intervals throughout the duration of the session. The goal is to have a dynamic discussion around the topic that lasts throughout the entire session.

Your original post should be within a range of 75-100 words. If a post does not meet the minimum word count of 75, your professor will not count it toward your grade.

Your subsequent contributions responding to a classmate should have 50 to 100 words.

1. WBIM-FM is the Bridgewater college radio station. It broadcasts at a frequency of 91.5 MHz (MHz = megahertz = one million Hertz = 1,000,000 cycles per second = 10⁶ Hz). What is the wavelength of this radio wave? Compare its size to something you are familiar with (object you own, yourself, your car, a city block, etc. be original)

2. During what season will more insolation be delivered to a vertical south-facing window on a clear day? During what season will more insolation be delivered to a horizontal skylight on the roof of the same house?

3. The insolation reaching a surface is made up of three components of solar radiation. Name and describe these components.

4. Explain in your own words the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. Is nuclear energy a renewable or nonrenewable resource?

5. List five renewable energy resources consumed in the United States. List them in order from most to least used.

6. Sunlight is especially intense in the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Yellow light has a frequency of 525 THz (terahertz, 1 THz = 10¹² Hz). What is the wavelength of a wave of yellow light. Compare its size to your answer for the radio wave in question #         1 above.

Use the following data on number of deaths from drug overdose for sample of different states. We separated states to two groups based on whether a certain drug law is being enacted or not. The states where the law is enacted are called BLUE states and those not using this law are called RED states. (Note that there are 8 observations in each group)

Table: Number of overdose deaths every year in different states.

What is the t-statistics for testing the hypothesis that the average deaths in BLUE states is equal to 30 per year.

1.96

5.67

0.77

0.27

Same question for RED states:

2. What is the t-statistics for testing the hypothesis that the average deaths in RED states is equal to 30 per year.

7.57

1.22

2.36

3.46

3. What is the p-value for the two-sided test about average deaths in BLUE states being equal 30? (Use T-distribution)

0.23

0.11

0.92

0.46

4. Same question for RED states:

What is the p-value for the two-sided test about average deaths in RED states being equal 30? (Use T-distribution)

0.03

0.14

0.08

0.01

5. Given the t-stats (or p-values) that you have obtained so far for both BLUE and RED states, what can you tell about the two-sided hypothesis of 30 average deaths in either states at 5% significance level?

Fail to reject for both

Reject for both

Reject for BLUE ; Fail to reject for RED

Fail to reject for BLUE ; Reject for RED

6. Now we are interested to check the effectiveness of the new drug law:

5.14

9.53

10.19

6.71

7. Same as previous question: We are interested to check the effectiveness of the new drug law:

H 0 ; L a w i s N O T e f f e c t i v e v s . H 1 ; L a w i s e f f e c t i v e

or similarly

H 0 ; E ( B L U E ) − E ( R E D ) = 0 v s . H 1 ; E ( B L U E ) − E ( R E D ) < 0

What is the t-statistics for this hypothesis test?

-2.15

-0.27

-1.91

-1.23

Same as previous question: We are interested to check the effectiveness of the new drug law:

H 0 ; L a w i s N O T e f f e c t i v e v s . H 1 ; L a w i s e f f e c t i v e

or similarly

H 0 ; E ( B L U E ) − E ( R E D ) = 0 v s . H 1 ; E ( B L U E ) − E ( R E D ) < 0

8. Which of the following is correct given your answers to question 7 ? (Note: one-sided test. Also use Normal Distribution)(Hint: find p-value)

None of the given choices are correct

We reject H0 at 1% significance level

We FAIL to reject H0 at 5% significance level

We reject H0 at 10% significance level

On August 1, 2019, ABC Co. borrowed $10,000 on a one-year Note Payable with an interest rate of 12% per year.

a) What is the adjusting journal entry on November 30, 2019 to record the relevant expense for the month of November?

b) When the December 31, 2019 adjusting journal entry is made, a balance sheet account is impacted. Select the name of this account. Also, on January 1, 2020, after making the December 31 adjusting journal entry, what is the balance of this account?

c) As of August 1, 2020, after paying off the loan with interest, what is the total amount of interest expense the company will have recorded for 2020 and the total cash paid for interest in 2020? Do not include the $10,000 principal repayment.

d) If the company incorrectly recognized interest expense for August 2019 through July 2020 at the time cash was paid rather than when the expense was incurred, what would be the impact on the 2019 and 2020 income statements?

Question 2415 pts

Note: There are 5 parts to this question (3 points each).

Capital expenditures are added to the balance sheet as assets and (usually) are expensed over time. Revenue expenditures are expensed in the period in which the cost is incurred.
