First, consider the cellular basis of long-term potentiation (LTP). Where in the brain does this occur and what happens? In your answer, include details of the neurotransmitters and receptors involved as well as what happens at the level of the receptor to enable LTP. Also, describe the changes that occur in both the presynaptic and post-synaptic cells as a result of LTP.

The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks accounted for the largest insured loss in the history of the world. The insurance companies providing commercial crime, commercial property, commercial general liability, and business income coverage were required to pay in most cases because the event was not legally considered an "act of war" or "catastrophe", which would have excluded it from coverage (see page 330). Very soon after that, every insurance policy added "act of terrorism" to excluded losses, leaving every business on its own to deal with the risk of a massive loss caused by an act of terrorism. Congress addressed that problem with the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. The act expired in 2014 and was renewed a week later for an additional six years.

In a nutshell, TRIA allows insurers to exclude losses due to acts of terrorism from standard commercial package policies, but it also requires the insurers to offer terrorism coverage in a separate policy and provides some federal assistance paying for losses caused by terrorism. But a business has the option whether to buy the terrorism coverage and it's very expensive.

Imagine all of you together (due to your advanced understanding of risk management) make up the committee at MGM Resorts that will decide whether the company should buy any terrorism insurance and if so how much. Each of you researches TRIA a little further on your own first and then begin by stating whether you should or shouldn't buy it and why/why not.

You’ll find that managers are also the shareholder or the owner of a company. In these cases, the shareholders interests line up with the goal of the firm. Technically, what benefits the company would also benefit the shareholder. You’ll also see that when the shareholder or owner is not playing the manager role, there’s a disconnect between both the shareholder and manager’s interest (Stout, 2002). The manager usually would make decisions based off of what will benefit him instead of the firm’s success. An example of this would be when a manager is spending the corporate credit card to buy non-business uses of an event. This lack of connect between the shareholder and manager’s interest is called agency problem. The unnecessary use of non-business purpose on the company’s credit card or expense can decrease the profitability of that firm. Poor performing companies have been built to take extensive defense against takeovers. When a takeover defense is made, this action triggers the defenses. When a takeover takes places, management are usually first to exit their roles in the firm. What usually increases the agency problem is putting in place a takeover defense that are not related to managerial packages. For example, continuance of underperforming will not be resulting in job loss or security. Therefore, managers are more than likely to put themselves first in this type of companies. These managers in takeover defense firms would have to put in the extra work for lower pay and also avoid such actions that can be damaging to the company.
