The document discusses various social media and networking tools including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Yelp, Google+, Spotify, and Foursquare. It then discusses how to organize information from these sources, describing the "old school" method of using a web browser to search for information as time-consuming versus the "new school" method of using a news aggregator to automatically collect news feeds and read them later on a mobile device. News aggregators like RSS readers and apps like Flipboard and Google Currents allow users to easily access updates from multiple sources in one place.

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

accompanied by the latest tweets relating to the piece
you’re reading so you can see what people think.

interests, subscriptions and your location, Prismatic is a
brilliantly handy app, but the only problem is that (so far),

symbols. As the app doesn’t automatically subscribe you to
your Google Reader content, it means that its better if you want
to quickly check updates from certain publications.

How Do You Organize This?
• OLD SCHOOL – I go to my web browser and use my
search engine to “find” the information that I am looking
for.
• Takes a lot of time.
• Very tedious.
• Many don’t do it because it is time consuming.
• NEW SCHOOL – I let set up my news aggregator to go to
news and other web sites and pull information down for
me. When I get a break, these RSS feeds are already on
my smartphone and I read them at my convenience.
• ARE YOU OLD SCHOOL OR NEW SCHOOL?

Examples of News Aggregators -
Prismatic
• Prismatic (iPhone) - Prismatic is probably one of the
best designed iPhone reader apps out there. Its interface
is easy and a nice touch is that any article you read will be
accompanied by the latest tweets relating to the piece
you’re reading so you can see what people think.
Alongside numerous suggestions based upon your
interests, subscriptions and your location, Prismatic is a
brilliantly handy app, but the only problem is that (so far),
it’s only available for iPhone, although it is available for
Facebook.

Examples of News Aggregators –
Flipboard and Google Currents
• Flipboard (iPhone, Android, iPad) - Flipboard makes the
entire reading process as stylish as possible and integrates all
your social media accounts like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn
and Instagram. Its most recent update now features video,
giving your content more variety.

and strikes a balance between style and practicality. As well as
syncing your Google account (as is standard with all of
Google’s products), the app recommends a vast range of
publications for you to subscribe to and groups them using
symbols. As the app doesn’t automatically subscribe you to
your Google Reader content, it means that its better if you want
to quickly check updates from certain publications.
