Great with students, workers, family, etc. For example: With games like Jeopardy and Family Feud, players can pick practically any answers. The person who is running the game will have to have all of the answers in order to determine if players are correct or not. However, with a game like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the players only have a choice between answers, A, B, C, or D. Therefore, when the player decides their answer, the person running the game clicks it, and the game will tell them whether they are right or wrong.

Transcript: Conservation of fishing cat Introduction of fishing cat Health: Fishing cats are susceptible to carnivore protoparvovirus, a disease known to kill them. This disease significantly damages the kidney, spleen and gastrointestinal tract of the body. The fishing cat is also vulnerable to diseases and medical conditions such as feline hemoplasmas, transitional cell carcinoma and canine distemper virus. Conservation Threats Wild life Shamim khan 2225138043 Bs Zoology 2022-2026 Since 2016, the fishing cat is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, as the global population is thought to have declined by around 30% in the years 2010–2015; the destruction of wetlands and killings by local people are major threats to the fishing cat.[1] The destruction of wetlands includes increased pollution or conversion for agricultural use and human settlements. The conversion of mangrove forests to commercial aquaculture ponds is a major threat in Andhra Pradesh, and in some places fishing cats are killed. Over-exploitation of local fish stocks and retaliatory killing by local people are also significant threats. The fishing cat is included on CITES Appendix II and protected by national legislation over most of its range. Hunting is prohibited in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Hunting regulations apply in Laos. In Bhutan, Malaysia, and Vietnam, it is not protected outside protected areas, and no information is known about its legal protections in Cambodia. It is the state animal of the Indian state of West Bengal. Its survival depends on protection of wetlands, prevention of indiscriminate trapping, snaring and poisoning. fishing cat The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. It has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Adults have a head-to-body length of 57 to 78 cm (22 to 31 in), with a 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) long tail. Males are larger than females classification of fishing cat: Scientific classification Domain: Eukaryota Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Suborder: Feliformia Family: Felidae Subfamily: Felinae Genus: Prionailurus Species: P. viverrinus Characteristics: The fishing cat has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Two stripes are on the cheeks, and two are above the eyes running to the neck with broken lines on the forehead. It has two rows of spots around the throat. The spots on the shoulder are longitudinal, and those on the sides, limbs and tail are roundish Endangered in Pakistan: In captivity: Fishing cat captive breeding programmes have been established by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria and the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums. All the fishing cats kept in zoos around the world are listed in the International Studbook of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.Zoos in Thailand house around 30 individuals; birth rates are not particularly high.They have been placed in captivity as an "insurance population" due to their vulnerable status in the wild Taxonomy Topic: fishing cat Submitted to: Dr Najiya Al-Arifa Behaviour and ecology Phylogeny: Distribution and habitat: The fishing cat lives among dense vegetation near water and is thought to be primarily nocturnal. It is known to be a proficient long-distance and underwater swimmer. Adult males and females without dependent young are solitary. Females have been reported to range over areas of 4 to 6 km2 (1.5 to 2.3 sq mi), while males range over 16 to 22 km2 (6.2 to 8.5 sq mi). It has been observed resting in thick grassy habitats, often near a water body but sometimes far away from them. Adults have been recorded to vocalise "chuckling" sounds The fishing cat is broadly but discontinuously distributed in South and Southeast Asia. It predominantly inhabits densely vegetated wetlands around slow-moving bodies of water like swamps and marshes.These include low-salinity bodies such as oxbow lakes, and high-salinity ones such as tidal creeks and mangrove forests. Along these bodies of water, it conceals itself within the thick cover of forests, scrublands, reed beds, and grasslands. Most records are from lowland areas. Reproduction and development: Wild fishing cats most likely mate during January and February; most kittens in the wild were observed in March and April. However, fishing cats may mate as late as June. In captivity, the gestation period lasts 63–70 days; females give birth to an average of two to three kittens; the litter size can be as small as one to as large as four.

Transcript: IS A MERGER A GOOD IDEA Value Synergy the potential additional value from combining two firms, either from operational or financial sources. - Operating Synergy: Come from higher growth or lower costs - Financial Synergy: from tax savings, increased debt capacity or cash slack. Synergies can be beneficial in many ways. A lower cost structure might allow a company to shift its emphasis to a more price-sensitive market segment, for example, generating new sources of revenue. But managers should seek synergies only after focusing intently on sales and marketing, for the quest to reduce redundancies and costs could draw their attention away from markets and customers—where real value lies. Advantages Economies of Scales Reduction of Fixed Cost + Better discount on Raw Materials + Better financial interest International Domination World Leadership on their business, Kill the competition Opportunities to increase their leadership Bigger capacities to invest in R&D : To be more innovative How can you estimate the value? Selecting a leadership team is one of the most important decisions the CEO of a newly combined company will ever face. Employees, investors and board members will be watching closely because the selection decisions set the tone for both the near-term integration process and long-term capabilities and culture of the business. CEOs face tremendous pressure to reward loyal lieutenants who were good soldiers for the old company REBRANDING AND POSITIONING Crucial for Vinci Bechtel to re-brand itself and reposition its offerings directly after a merger. For example: Vinci deals in a project called Vinci Concession that develops and operates a unique portfolio of transport infrastructure and public facility, Bechtel deals with Fossil, nuclear power plants, pipelines etc. The merger of the two provides an opportunity for the new company to reposition as Construction leader in Energy and Concessions . The company’s strategy here is to design a new corporate identity, while capitalizing on the existing reputation and clientele of both ex-companies. 1) Sharing of know-how and industrial knowledge. 2) The after-merger will be able to raise more capital and loans Both companies pool their capital, both tangible and intangible. Bringing together of physical assets + monetary injection. Share capital + debentures 3) Government Restrictions Construction norms and standards are not the same in European context vs US context. To bear differences in mind. Cultural integration This starts with understanding the cultural aspects of both companies and use that to the adv. of the newly merged company. Integrate different methods of operation into one effective method. This may mean to re-allocate resources and capital. Ha ving a plan moving forward. Communicate Accounting method A number of companies have shown that such tactics (customers) can even help improve postmerger growth, regardless of whether synergies yield cost improvement. For instance, the merger of two large construction-equipment companies led to a decline in the operating profit margin, but revenue growth increased by more than 18 percentage points. Vinci Construction Should they be combined using their existing recorded values? Or should both be restated to their current market value? Or should be an agrred price between both companies? Current rules say that if the merger is a pooling, the assets are combined at their book values. If one company is “purchasing” the other company, the purchased asset is recorded at its purchase price. New Merged Company becomes ONE: VINCI BECHTEL CO. LTD 1) Filling of Company Articles (State of Delaware) Because the state provides a complete package of business entity services as well as being a leading domicile for international businesses. To incorporate the new company: File new articles of incorporation in country in which company is registered. Include: Purpose of new corporation Names of directors and founding members Business address and Headquarters Supporting Documents outlining: Powers and purposes of the newly merged company + Broad outline of business plan. RESTRUCTURING When the merger occurs, it is likely that both companies will have similar staff performing certain functions. 1) Also, making sure employees are engaged in the newly Unified Co. “people factor” -workers are an imp resources and vital to the company’s operation To avoid overlap and reduce costs: to identify where layoffs are necessary and restructure of the remaining staff. This helps the new company to remove unproductive workers, review job descriptions and reinvent the remaining positions. Key Activities Right After a Merger After Merger Management Expectations NOW WHAT Funds: - The new firm may take over both company's capital reserves, making them part of their own operating reserves. The funds are acquired at their current market value. - It is possible, however, that the remaining funds can be distributed to the disappearing company's
