Lisbon, Portugal - The Coolest Capital of EuropeJerry Daperro
Situated by the western shore of Europe, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Portugal has always been a land apart, on the fringe, sometimes the forgotten hem of Europe. Its identity as an separated nation had established its frontiers as long ago as the 13C, even though there are no insurmountable barriers separate it from Spain. The independent spirit of this small country, was to turn into the unknown world, with its discovery of the sea route to India. It became the first global empire and sea routes connect Portugal to all parts of the world. Began in the early 20C, Portugal began to transform itself into a modern. This proved to be a long journey. In 1910 the monarchy was overthrown. Portugal existed briefly as a republic. Then followed by 40 years of repressive dictatorship. Since 1976 Portugal has finally free itself and became a democracy. In 1986. it joined the European Community. Now for the first time in 500 years, Portugal began to look to a future within Europe.
Today Portugal has recovered from the deficit financing policy. It has a surplus in 2016 and the country is enjoying “sustained strong growth”. Today its service sector makes up three quarters of the gross value added (GVA), provided a quarter of the jobs. Fisheries and agriculture has 22% of the GVA and providing 25% of the jobs.

City and Spectacle: A Vision of Pre-Earthquake LisbonGwyneth Llewelyn
Workshop done for VAST2008/Eurographics in Braga, Dec 2 2008, covering Beta Technologies\' work in recreating Lisbon\'s Terreiro do Paço before the earthquake of 1755.
How do you define a company?
It’s an important question, because understanding a company’s motivation helps put the daily news and social media cacophony about a firm in context.
So what about Microsoft? What defines us?
We can begin with some numbers.
Let’s start with sales and earnings. For fiscal year 2012, we grew revenue to a record $73.7 billion, and totaled $21.76 billion in operating income. Additionally, we returned $10.7 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends. With these results, over the past decade we’ve now more than doubled revenue, tripled profits, and returned more than $180 billion to shareholders.

This presentation shows the current status of the "City and Spectacle" project, to be presented at the VSMM 2009 — 15th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia in Vienna, Austria (http://www.vsmm2009.org/). Changes include the "Patriarcal" church and piazza, new detail on the Opera House façades, a remodelation of Rua da Capela, new Palace Gardens, and a redesign of the Canevari Clock Tower. The video of the 3D models actually comes from OpenSimulator 0.6.6 and is very rude and amateurish. However, the superior capabilities of the modern Second Life viewers show how delightfully realistic the buildings can look like, thanks to the new lighting model that includes shadows.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
