What is the ideology of al-Qaeda?

Prior to his death in May 2011, Osama bin Laden designed al-Qaeda to symbolize the globalization of terrorism in the twenty-first century. The network is perceived by many to represent a quintessential model for small groups of like-minded revolutionaries who wish to wage transnational insurgencies against strong adversaries. Although al-Qaeda certainly exists as a loose network of relatively independent cells, it has also evolved into an idea—an ideology and a fighting strategy—that has been embraced by sympathetic revolutionaries throughout the world.Al-Qaeda leaders such as the late Osama bin Laden and his successor as leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, consistently released public pronouncements of their goals, often by delivering audio and video communiqués to international news agencies such as Al Jazeera in Qatar. Based on these communiqués, the following principles frame the ideology of al-Qaeda:aThe struggle is a clash of civilizations. Holy war is a religious duty and necessary for the salvation of one’s soul and the defense of the Muslim nation.Only two sides exist, and there is no middle ground in this apocalyptic conflict between Islam and the forces of evil. Western and Muslim nations that do not share al-Qaeda’s vision of true Islam are enemies.Violence in a defensive war on behalf of Islam is the only course of action. There cannot be peace with the West.Because this is a just war, many of the theological and legal restrictions on the use of force by Muslims do not apply.Because U.S. and Western power is based on their economies, large-scale mass-casualty attacks that focus on economic targets are a primary goal.Muslim governments that cooperate with the West and do not adopt strict Islamic law are apostasies and must be violently overthrown.Israel is an illegitimate nation and must be destroyed.These principles have become a rallying ideology for Islamist extremists who have few, if any, ties to al-Qaeda. Thus, the war on terrorism is not solely a conflict against an organization but is also a conflict against a belief system.Discussion QuestionsWhat is the ideology of al-Qaeda?Why did a network of religious revolutionaries evolve into a potent symbol of global resistance against its enemies?Which underlying commonalities appeal to motivated Islamist activists?

· Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.

Assignment 1: Applying Current Literature to Clinical PracticePsychiatric mental health nursing practice is one of the newest disciplines to be licensed to provide psychotherapy As such, the majority of psychotherapy research is centered on other disciplines such as psychology, social work, marriage/family therapy, art therapy, psychiatry, and mental health counseling. This makes it essential for you to be able to translate current literature from other disciplines into your own clinical practice. For this Assignment, you practice this skill by examining literature on group work and group therapy and considering its applicability to your own clients.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:· Evaluate the application of current literature to clinical practiceTo prepare:· Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on group work and group therapy.· Select one of the articles from the Learning Resources to evaluate for this Assignment. (See attached file)Note: In nursing practice, it is not uncommon to review current literature and share findings with your colleagues. Approach this Assignment as though you were presenting the information to your colleagues.(A clear purpose statement (The purpose of this paper is to…) is required in the introduction of all writings)The AssignmentIn a 5- to 10-slide PowerPoint presentation, address the following:· Provide an overview of the article you selected, including answers to the following questions:o What type of group was discussed?o Who were the participants in the group? Why were they selected?o What was the setting of the group?o How often did the group meet?o What was the duration of the group therapy?o What curative factors might be important for this group and why?o What “exclusion criteria” did the authors mention?· Explain the findings/outcomes of the study in the article. Include whether this will translate into practice with your own client groups. If so, how? If not, why?· Explain whether the limitations of the study might impact your ability to use the findings/outcomes presented in the article.Note: The presentation should be 6–10 slides, not including the title and reference slides. Include presenter notes (no more than a half page per slide) and use tables and/or diagrams where appropriate. Be sure to support your work with specific citations from the article you selected. Support your presentation with evidence-based literature.

Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using book value weights.

QUESTIONS : 7. Brite Lighting Corporation wants to investigate the effect on its cost of capital based on the rate at which the company is taxed. The firm wishes to maintain a capital structure of 30% debt, 10% preferred stock, and 60% common stock. The cost of financing with retained earnings is 14% (i.e., rs = 14%), the cost of preferred stock financing is 9% (rps = 9%), and the before-tax cost of debt is 11% (rd = 11%). Calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) given the tax rate assumptions in parts (a) to (c) below.(a) Tax rate = 40%.(b) Tax rate = 35%.(c) Tax rate = 25%. 8. Westerly Manufacturing has compiled the information shown in the following table: Source of CapitalBook ValueMarket ValueAfter-tax CostLong-Term Debt$4,000,000$3,840,0006.0%Preferred Stock$40,000$60,00013.0%Common Stock Equity$1,060,000$3,000,00017.0%Totals$5,100,000$6,900,000 (a) Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using book value weights.(b) Calculate the firm’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) using market value weights.(c) Compare your answers found in parts (a) and (b) and briefly explain the differences. Other things equal, would you recommend that Westerly Manufacturing rely on its book value weights or market value weights in determining its WACC? 9. To help finance a major expansion, Delano Development Company sold a noncallable bond several years ago that now has 15 years to maturity. This bond has a 10.25% annual coupon, paid semiannually, it sells at a price of $1,025, and it has a par value of $1,000. If Delano’s tax rate is 40%, what component cost of debt should be used in the WACC calculation? 10. Roxie Epoxy’s balance sheet shows a total of $50 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 8.00% and a yield to maturity of 7.00%. This debt currently has a market value of $55 million. The balance sheet also shows that that the company has 20 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $65 million. The current stock price is $8.25 per share; stockholders’ required return, rs, is 10.00%; and the firm’s tax rate is 40%. Based on market value weights, and assuming the firm is currently at its target capital structure, what WACC should Roxie use to evaluate capital budgeting projects? 11. Bruner Breakfast Foods’ (BBF) balance sheet shows a total of $20 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 8.00% (assume each bond to have a maturity value, M, of $1,000). The yield to maturity on this debt is 10.00%, and the debt has a total current market value of $18 million. The balance sheet also shows that that the company has 10 million shares of stock, and total of common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $30 million. The current stock price is $4.50 per share, and stockholders’ required rate of return, rs, is 12.25%. The company recently decided that its target capital structure should have 50% debt, with the balance being common equity. The tax rate is 40%. Calculate WACCs based on target, book, and market value capital structures (Note: I am asking for three (3) separate WACC values here).
