After installing OS on SSD, you may make the system or the programs that you frequently use start faster. Install OS on SSD, or migrate OS to SSD is a complex process, but it now could be an easy work with the help of third party software.
Solid-State Drive (SSD), also called a flash drive, is a type of hard drive. An SSD has much strength over a traditional hard drive. For example, compared with traditional HDD, it's more reliable both in fragmentation and durability. There's no physical read head, so an SSD doesn't care where the data is stored on its chips. SSD is inherently faster both in booting system or apps. So install OS on SSD can improve the PC's performance.
If you want to guarantee the safety of system or data or migrate Windows to larger or smaller storage devices in a single operation, install OS on SSD is a good way. By installing Operating System on Solid-State Drive, you may make the system start faster, or load the programs that you frequently use faster. While to achieve this goal, there are usually two methods: install OS on SSD directly and with AOMEI Partition Assistant.
In this method, you need to connect the solid-state drive to your pc first, back up the current drive and finally install your Operating System onto it. It's really time-consuming and complicated to install the OS and applications to SSD. Are there any other easy ways to install OS on SSD? Then you need to refer to the second method—with AOMEI Partition Assistant.
Free AOMEI Partition Assistant, its built-in "Migrate OS to SSD or HDD" can help you transfer OS on SSD with ease. The picture below is the interface of the software.
Install OS to SSD directly is a little complex and could be risk of losing data for many users, especially for newbie, so free AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition is such a great help for users in installing OS on SSD. By comparison, AOMEI Partition Assistant could be a perfect one. Now, you could free download the software from /download.html.

Game of Thrones fans are OUTRAGED over this leaked season 8 info ...

The wait is almost over for Game of Thrones fans with the show's eighth final season set to hit TV screens next month.
But some are fans outraged after it was revealed that the runtime of each of the six episodes is dramatically much shorter than the feature-length epics that had been rumoured to be in the works.

While many were expecting every episode to be around 90 minutes long, fans were disappointed to learn that the first episode will sit at just 54 minutes, while the season finale will be 80 minutes long.
Game of Thrones Season 8 episode runtimes:
Episode 1: 54 minutes
"I'm devastated by this new Game of Thrones runtime info," One person wrote on Twitter. "We were promised feature-length episodes."
I'm devastated by this new @GameOfThrones runtime info. We were promised feature length episodes 😭
8.01 54 mins
— Gabrielle Mannino (@gmanninophoto) March 12, 2019
Others on the social media platform shared their concern on whether the shorter length of the episodes would give the show – which has captivated audiences since it first aired in 2011 - enough time to "wrap everything up neatly".
"It's going to be a rush towards the end," one Twitter user noted.
HBO has officially confirmed the runtime for each episode in the final season of GAME OF THRONES:
E1: 54 mins
What happened to each episode being like a feature length film? Excited nonetheless! 🎬 #GOT #ForTheThrone pic.twitter.com/24YeAsjqmS
— Dead Horse Media (@DeadHorseMedia) March 11, 2019
Earlier this year actor Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on the show, teased that the episodes in season 8 would be movie-length in an interview with The Sun.
"We know we have six episodes - we are not sure whether they will run for 70 minutes or even 90 minutes," the 31-year-old star explained.
"There is so much work still to do. We haven't put together a full episode yet as there is more filming. The length will be a network decision. But we are busy," he added.
Regardless of the length, we can't wait to what Game of Throne's last ever season when it airs in New Zealand on April 15 on Sky's streaming service Neon.

There's nothing worse than an unexpected cold shower. Even in the heat of summer in Phoenix, you want to have consistent hot water throughout your home. If you have issues with your hot water supply, check out these common water heater problems. You'll discover what to do when your water heater stops working, and who to call if you need water heater repairs.
There are several differences between gas and electric water heaters. Natural gas or propane water heaters have either a black or copper gas supply pipe. They will also include a vent, usually 3-inch or 4-inch PVC. Electrical water heaters have a larger supply cord, typically gray or black. They don't require a vent, so you'll only see the two water lines and one electric cord.
Gas water heaters may not work due to a broken thermocouple. This important piece is required to keep your gas water heater working effectively. While it can be replaced on your own, consider contacting a professional to replace your thermocouple. An HVAC expert can make sure your pilot light, burning chamber, and other components are working properly.
Instead of a thermocouple, electric water heaters use a heating element to heat water. A bad heating element is a common issue with electric water heaters. Before you can inspect your heating element, you need to turn off the circuit breaker and empty the water out of your water heater. This process can be time-consuming and you should always use extreme caution when working around electrical systems and water. Professional HVAC technicians can easily check to see that the heating element is working properly without removing it, which can save you lots of time.
Another common reason your hot water heater is not producing hot water is the thermostat. Your thermostat may need to be adjusted or replaced. Adjusting a thermostat is an easy task, but replacing it can be difficult if you aren't experienced in electrical repairs. Be sure your hot water heater's thermostat is adjusted properly before contacting a professional. Newer water heaters feature a digital thermostat that is easy to adjust, but most older water heaters require you to remove an access panel with a Phillips head screwdriver to manually adjust the thermostat.
Before you pay to replace any parts, first check to see if you've tripped a circuit breaker. Gas and electric water heaters both require an electrical circuit, and any number of issues could cause the circuit to trip. Locate the circuit in your breaker box and see if any breakers are tripped. Sometimes, all you need to do to enjoy hot water in your home is to flip a breaker back on. If the breaker immediately trips back off, do not attempt to turn it on again. Contact a professional to find the solution, as there could be a dangerous electrical short in your water heater.
Does your home have hot water for only a few minutes? If you have hot water, but not enough, then you may need a larger water heater. A small water heater may not be able to keep up with your water demands. Consider upgrading to a larger water heater or a powerful tankless water heater for consistent hot water.
If you already have a large water heater, the issue may be a broken heating element. Most electric water heaters have two heating elements. If only one heating element is working properly, your home will have a small amount of hot water available, but the water heater won't reheat water fast enough to keep up with normal use. Contact an HVAC technician to determine whether you need a larger heater or replacement heating elements.
Why Isn't My Tap Water Cold in Arizona?
Does your tap only have hot water? On hot summer days in Arizona, you may experience lukewarm or hot water coming out of your cold tap. Thankfully, this is an easy fix. This problem is not caused by your water heater but instead is from your water lines being heated by the hot air temperature.
A common solution is to use pipe wrap or other insulation to wrap the water lines. This is particularly effective if you have water lines that are exposed to outside temperatures, like in an unconditioned basement or attic space. For more information, talk to a licensed HVAC technician who is familiar with the local climate.
How Do I Get Consistent Hot Water?
For quick and friendly service in Arizona, contact Day & Night Air today. Our licensed technicians have the experience necessary to effectively diagnose your water heater issues and make the necessary repairs quickly. We serve locations all around the Phoenix, AZ area, and are familiar with local heating issues due to our unique climate. Enjoy warm, consistent water all year with a repaired water heater.


Help the Ugly Duckling hatch at Brighton Fringe!
Above Bounds Theatre Collective need your help to raise £1,000 to take our latest piece of children's theatre The Ugly Duckling & Other Tales to the Brighton Fringe in 2017. We've been accepted to perform at the Warren, an excellent venue which will be a fantastic platform for our work as an emerging company.
Above Bounds - Who Are We?
To create exciting work for young audiences.
To create physical work with an interesting story at it's heart, a story that can educate, entertain and inspire.
To work with a mixture of mediums, puppetry, mask and comedy.
In 2015, we were selected participants on the Worboys Productions Theatre Farm Retreat, a programme which selects 3 emerging companies creating work for families and gives them chance to develop a new show with mentoring from top children's theatre specialists. The retreat is run by producer Sam Worboys, near Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk. On the retreat, we decided to tell a story using shadow puppetry as our main medium and so we experimented with Hans Christian Anderson fairy-tales, always keeping our target audience (children aged between 3-7) in mind. We all felt compelled to convey a positive message about body-image. Although the stories of the Emperor's New Clothes and the Ugly Duckling have been performed before, we wanted to make an updated version which would focus on body-image and bring about positive change in young audiences. In an increasingly digitalised society, where trolling and bullying are on the rise, we are seeking to encourage young people to celebrate difference and diversity.

I always hear from omnivores and vegan hopefuls that giving up cheese would be the hardest part of going Vegan for them. I completely understand! I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and cheese was everywhere! I said that exact thing but you know what? I've been happily Vegan for 20 years and not once have I ever missed cheese!
The secret is this: You are NOT REALLY craving cheese, as in, cheese, the curd made from cow's milk. There's no way that the human body is going around craving a food that is intended for growing baby cows into larger cows! Cows have four stomachs and are huge grazing animals that weigh about 1000 pounds! They're very different from us, structurally.
I don't know anyone with the goal to grow into a cow-like body, yet so many people are feeding themselves with the very things that will!
What are you really craving then? It's all about two ingredients – SALT and FAT. Of course we crave those things — they're building blocks of the human body!
To get the cheesy effect you crave, you can combine any of many different salt sources (Braggs Liquid Aminos, Tamari, Soy Sauce, Coconut Aminos, Himalayan Salt, Sea Salt, Miso, etc) with any of many plant-based fat sources (Almond Butter, Peanut Butter, Cashew Butter, Avocado, Coconut Oil, Coconut Butter, Coconut Milk, Olive Oil, Soy Curd aka Tofu, Flax Oil, etc).
Adding a few key herbs and spices can further duplicate certain cheesy flavors we know and love. But remember, these are added flavors, and not naturally occurring in cow milk curd. Flavors are by-products of the earth and plants, and they're good for you. By becoming self-aware of what it is we're really craving, we can leave those cows alone!


Hillary Clinton's latest book, entitled "What Happened," is due to hit bookstores in September. Word is that Clinton will explain why she lost the election, as if we haven't already heard that load of garbage from her every other month since the election. Has Hillary finally come to grips with the fact that she lost because most Americans didn't trust her and her crime syndicate? Will she finally concede that she was selling something Americans weren't buying? No, from the sound of it, Hillary has yet to get off the blame train.
Surprised that she would shift blame anywhere and everywhere but her own severe likability deficit, criminal behavior and bad campaign decisions? Don't be. Indeed, the only real question remaining is whether the sales of this book will improve upon her previous flop, "Hard Choices." If not, one wonders if Clinton will again lay the blame on Comey and the Russians.


This new trailer range is priced to compete with trailer manufacturers from Sleaford and Scotland, while keeping the design and build quality that Larrington Trailers are known for.
Like all Larrington trailers, The Harvester trailers are constructed from steel that is folded and formed on our 8m brakes press and cut on our 8m plasma cutter, which means there are made from one piece of steel where our competition joins smaller pieces together. This makes the Harvester trailer stronger from the start and it looks better too !
We are delighted with the new trailer and the response we have had at the LAMMA show. Before you make your next trailer purchase, visit your local Larrington Trailers dealer and see the trailer for yourself, we are confident that you will be pleased with the what you see !
Swivel Drawbar Stand that folds up; out of the way, and does not need removing. Preventing you from misplacing or losing your drawbar stand.
All harvester trailers are fitted with an adjustable Sprung Drawbar, allowing you to easily change the drawbar's angle should you change the height of your tractor, or the trailer's tyres size. This ensure the correct weight is on the drawbar at all times giving you a smooth ride, no matter what tractor driving, no matter what tyres you have fitted.
The hydraulic hoses run within a channel under the chassis. This keeps them safe while being easy to get to. Nothing hidden away inside the chassis frame.
Since 1996 we have been building trailers with a single tipping ram, and these trailers are no exception. They have a five-stage 175mm bore ram which needs less than 100psi of oil pressure per ton to lift the loaded body to an angle of 53°. Our competition only lift their bodies to 50° and use a much greater amount of oil pressure to push their bodies 'off' their chassis.
100mm 4-leaf Suspension As Standard.
A major amount of improvement is the design of the suspension. Other manufacturers fit springs that are only 76mm wide and range from three to four leaf, so depending upon the position and width of track, users can experience body roll. Larrington Trailers have designed the Harvester trailer for maximum stability by fitting a 100mm wide four leaf spring which stiffens up the suspension and reduces body roll.
No Joins in the Floor, no 'Snags' in crops.
The body is formed in full lengths of steel with the two side plates formed from 4mm. The single bottom floor plate is formed from 6mm plate. This offer a very smooth exit for all crops from the inside of the body and particularly when tipping potatoes which can be damaged by cross welds which other trailer manufacturers use to join the floor sheets.
Full vision front grill with plastic cover, which can be removed when using the trailer with root crops is included.
A newly designed taildoor which lifts the door upwards first and then pivots the door open. This idea is in use by other manufacturers and is well tried and tested but Larrington Trailers have gone one stage further; welded bushes that turn against the holding plates when the door closes reduce the wear on the locking pins. The holding plates can also be adjusted to maintain the seal around the door's edge. This is unique to the Larrington build and design, helping to reduce wear, maintenance, and down-time !

Intelligence sources of the Affirmative Repositioning movement inside and outside the Namibian Police have informed its leadership that certain activists have become the targets of possible arrest or other forms of intimidation by the current regime.
According to a statement by Job Amupanda, the lead activist of the AR movement, activist George Kambala and he were identified as the main targets of the police. He said other leading activists might also be targeted.
The leadership of the AR movement issued the statement in the wake of the arrest on Friday of activist Dimbulukeni Nauyoma, who was on the mission of the movement to prevent the regime from inflicting harm on the poor by illegally demolishing their homes.
Amupanda described Nauyoma as a political detainee and said that he sent a message from his hospital bed that activists and the poor should never give up.
According to Amupanda, Nauyoma will appear in the Katutura Magistrate Court. Nauyoma is set to appear on the charges of instigating public violence, obstructing police officers while performing their duties and unlawfully grabbing municipal land and erecting illegal structures on it.
He said the AR will also begin a series of legal actions against the regime and its political police. In these actions the AR will also engage other offices such as the Ombudsman and City of Windhoek on a number of issues.
With regards to becoming targets of the regime Amupanda said that the movement and its activists are fearless and will never stop standing with the poor.

Uzbek, Hungarian ministers discuss cooperation in nuclear energy
The leadership of the Ministry of Energy of Uzbekistan met with a Hungarian delegation to Tashkent last month, during which they discussed Hungary's willingness for partnership in the energy sector.

According to a statement published by the Uzbek ministry today, Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Péter Szijjártó expressed interest in cooperation between UzAtom and the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and the Hungarian Scientific Centre for Nuclear Energy and MVM Paksi Atomeromu Ltd in the construction of a nuclear power plant and in scientific exchange in the field of nuclear energy. They also discussed a proposal for 100 Uzbek students to take a course in nuclear energy at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
Officials from UzAtom - a government agency created in 2018 to manage Uzbekistan's nuclear power programme - and a number of other ministries and departments visited Hungary in 2018 and this year to become acquainted with its nuclear energy facilities. They learned about Hungary's project to expand its Paks nuclear power plant with two Russian VVER-1200 units.
In May, Uzbekistan's Ministry of Energy published a detailed 'Concept Note' outlining its strategy on electrical generation to the year 2030. The document anticipates a sharp reduction in the country's reliance on gas-fired power generation from the current 83% to 50%, and sets goals for new nuclear, solar and wind power production of 15%, 8% and 7%, respectively.
Uzbekistan and Russia signed an intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in December 2017, and in September 2018 a further agreement was signed for the construction by Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom of two VVER-1200 reactors. These are to be commissioned in 2028 and 2030, respectively. Alisher Sultanov, Uzbekistan's energy minister, later announced the country wants to build four units and not just two as previously stated.

Newly Proposed Metro Station in Paris Blends Into Its Neighborhood
The plans are part of the Grand Paris Express, a massive project meant to modernize transportation around the city
By Nick Mafi
Photography by Atelier d'Architecture King Kong
A rendering shows the canopy atop the metro station.
From its headquarters in Bordeaux, the French firm Atelier d'Architecture King Kong has recently released a proposal for a new metro station in Vitry-Sur-Seine, a southeastern suburb of Paris roughly seven miles from the Eiffel Tower. What's most striking about the firm's concept is the main concourse's sloping green roof, which is designed to blend in with the surrounding neighborhood. Circular holes have been carved into the concrete canopy, allowing natural daylight to stream through the space, effectively linking the indoors to the outdoors.
This bird's-eye view of the station displays the harmony between the canopy and the surrounding neighborhood.
The station will be connected to the red line of the Grand Paris Express, a year-old project aimed to bring more rapid modes of transportation around the dense city. Construction for various lines and metro stations for the Grand Paris Express are projected to continue through 2030.

Long and Lowe
Bobby Lowe (left), Herman Long (right) with Fred Tenney (standing) and Jimmy Collins (seated center)
Some things just go together. Take pepperoni and pizza. Try bacon and eggs. Think Big and Mac.
Baseball's like that too. Some things just go together. Jeter and Cano, Groat and Mazeroski, Tinker and Evers. See, don't you just sort of think of one when you think of the other? Way back in the 1890's there was another of those: Herman Long and Bobby Lowe.
Herman Long was a shortstop for Kansas City in 1889. He moved to the Boston Beaneaters in 1890, staying through 1902. After leaving Boston played for short stints with the Highlanders (Yankees), Tigers, and Phillies. Today he's primarily famous for making more errors than anyone else in Major League history, 1096. Of course if you play for 17 years mostly in Nineteenth Century ballparks with Nineteenth Century equipment, you have to be pretty good to stay around long enough to make a thousand plus errors. His fielding percentage was .906, which isn't all that good, with 765 double plays, which is terrific for the era. His range factor is 5.77 which is darned good in any era. He could hit a little too. He averaged .277, with an OBP of .335 and a slugging percentage of .338, giving him a .718 OPS. He scored 1456 runs, knocked in 1055, and had 2938 total bases. In 1900 he won the National League home run title with 12 and in 1893 led the NL in runs with 149. He died of tuberculosis in 1909.
Most of his doubles plays were in partnership with Bobby Lowe. Lowe came to Boston in 1890 and stayed through 1901. He then played for a short stint with the Cubs in 1902 and 1903, then went to both Pittsburgh and Detroit before retiring. Unlike Long he was one of the better fielders of his day. He managed a .951 fielding percentage, a 5.70 range factor, and only 389 errors (he was a second baseman, remember). He hit .273 for his career with an OBP of .325, a slugging percentage of .360, and an OPS of .685. He was a superior leadoff hitter for the era scoring 1135 runs on 1924 hits. He lived to age 86, dying in 1951.
What the two men did well together was win. Both men arrived in Boston in 1890, Long becoming an immediate starter. The Beaneaters finished fifth, 12 games back. Over the next 10 years, with both men starting up the middle, Boston took five pennants. They won in 1891 and to be honest, having Harry Stovey in right field and both John Clarkson and Kid Nichols on the mound helped Boston a lot, but both Long and Lowe were significant contributors to the improvement. The 1892 season saw a split season (the last until 1981) with Boston winning the first half, then beating up on Cleveland in the end of season pennant series. Neither Long nor Lowe did very well in the series. In fact to be honest about again, both did terribly.
Boston won again in 1893, slipped to third in 1894, and all the way to fifth in 1895. By 1896, they were back to fourth, then in both 1897 and 1898 won the NL title again. In 1899 they slipped back to second behind syndicate team Brooklyn (the owner of Brooklyn also owned Baltimore and cannibalized the two teams to put together one very good team.) In 1900 and 1901, their last two years together, an aging Long and Lowe finished fourth and fifth. But in 12 years together, 11 with both starting, they had, as mentioned earlier, managed to win five pennants. Thy also finished second once.
Neither man is much remembered today, neither is in much danger of making the Hall of Fame and thus returning to prominence. Both were major contributors to five pennant winners and good players in their own right. One really nice thing about the internet it that it gives people like me a chance to remind people like you about these kinds of players and how important they were to the game we love.

Protection of a Partner in a General Partnership
+ January (12)
Bulgarian investment immigration program
The general partnership is an arrangement among natural and/or legal persons to pursue a common business objective. When traders take part in the arrangement, the group is called a consortium and it is subject to the provisions of Article 357 et seq. of the Obligations and Contracts Act concerning general partnerships or the relevant company, depending on its legal form. Guided by the willingness to achieve the common business objective, the partners put their efforts into identifying the ways in which the objective can be attained and make an agreement in writing to avoid possible future disputes about the actual contents of the general partnership agreement. The identification of the risks related to the participation in the partnership in advance and the setting out of explicit provisions in writing on the rights and obligations, the distribution of the shares, the allocation of profits and costs, and the fixing of the period for which the partnership is established are all guarantees for the protection of any partner and his or her property rights in particular. Further safeguards are laid down in the Obligations and Contracts Act but those provisions and rather general and they cannot reflect the specific circumstances and actual relationships among the partners in each individual case. The property rights of a partner in a general partnership can be fully protected by making an agreement in writing to set out not only the essential characteristics of the general partnership, i.e. the common business objective, the common operations and the intention to enter into the partnership, but also the additional specific characteristics.
It is possible for the common operations to be carried out without common property, while the efforts of the partners can take various forms, including non-pecuniary contribution to the attainment of the common objective. The law does not require equal contribution by all partners, but it is necessary to agree on the share of the property and the profits in relation to the contribution. General partnership agreements are informal. The common business objective and the intention to enter into a partnership may be expressed in exchanged correspondence, and the rights and obligations could be set out subsequently through the participation in the attainment of the common business objective.
A failure of the partners to agree on their relationships in writing or to set out in detail their rights and obligations, the term of the partnership and the size of the shares could trigger disputes among the partners in the general partnership.
The concept of protecting a partner needs clarity on the consequences of the participation in a general partnership which is established to attain certain business objectives without being a legal entity itself. A general partnership is not a legal entity, and it cannot be a holder of rights and obligations or a duly recognised party to court proceedings. Hence a partner cannot claim protection of his or her rights derived from his or her participation in the partnership.
Any cash, replaceable items and items depleted in the course of their use constitute the common property of the partners, while all other items are considered to be contributed for common use, unless agreed otherwise. The general partnership is not a property owner and what is acquired through the partners' operations in the pursuit of the common business objective is the common property of the partners. Unless agreed otherwise, all partners' shares are equal and a partner is entitled to claim his or her share only upon leaving the partnership or when the partnership is dissolved.
It is interesting to examine the case in which the partnership has not been established on the basis of a written agreement, the partner has made a cash or non-cash contribution but the partnership has not engaged in any operations and continues to exist.
The grounds for dissolving a general partnership are set out exhaustively as follows: the objective of the partnership is attained or proves unattainable; the expiration of the term for which the partnership was established; the death or legal incapacity of a partner, unless agreed otherwise; a notice duly served by a partner at an appropriate time in the cases in which the partnership has been established for an indefinite period, unless it is agreed that the partnership will continue its operations with the other partners or there is a court ruling, and when there are valid reasons to dissolve a partnership established for a fixed period.
If there is no written agreement for a general partnership which has not engaged in any activities and none of the objective grounds set out in the law is in place, the partner who has made a cash or non-cash contribution has two options: either to serve a notice on the dissolution of the partnership or request its dissolution by the court.
In this particular case, the serving of a notice would not dissolve the general partnership if the notice is based on culpable non-performance by the other partners. Unlike bilateral agreements, general partnership agreements are multilateral, and the obligations undertaken by the partners cannot be counter claimed since they are mutual and oriented towards the common business objective.
Where no written agreement has been concluded, the partner could request the court to dissolve the partnership provided that there exist valid reasons to do so. The law does not contain any specific wording on what "valid reasons" could enable the partner to request the dissolution of the partnership from the court. By analogy to other legal concepts, the "valid reasons" for the dissolution of a general partnership by the court could be derived from the case law relating to the termination of a limited liability company where "important reasons" exist under the Commercial Code. The important reasons for the termination of a company are considered to be those reasons which create insurmountable obstacles to the implementation of the objects of activity or when the company has not engaged in any operations for a long period of time. The valid reasons for the dissolution of a general partnership by the court could also relate to the culpable non-performance of the other partners' obligations to achieve the common objective.
After the general partnership is dissolved on any of these grounds, the partner will obtain property rights to a share, to a portion of the profit and to recovery of the costs incurred in the dealings of the partnership. The partner's share is established on the basis of the calculation of the profit and loss in the joint operations. If the general partnership has not carried out any activity and the partner has made a cash or non-cash contribution, the question is what will be the share of this partner after the dissolution of the partnership and whether he or she is entitled to full recovery of the contribution or to reinstatement of the contributed property, as the case may be.
Where the general partnership has not carried out any operations from its establishment to its dissolution, it should be recognised that a partner who has made a cash or non-cash contribution to the attainment of the common business objective is entitled to recovery of the amount or property in full. But if the legal provision reading that all partners have equal shares in the absence of an explicit agreement is considered to be imperative, then the opposite conclusion could be drawn and the amount contributed by a partner would be distributed equally among all partners or the property would be partitioned, regardless of whether the other partners have fulfilled their obligations to make contributions. The recognition of equal shares of all partners in this case would violate the principle of fairness, the ban on inappropriate shift of goods and the ban on lion sharing companies which makes any agreement excluding a partner from participation in profits and losses null and void.
In this particular case, it could be argued whether any community of property has emerged in the first place or not so as to liquidate it after the dissolution of the partnership in accordance with the applicable rules.
As well as to a share, the partner will have a right to a portion of the profit, depending on his or her share, unless agreed otherwise, and to recovery of part of the costs incurred in the dealings of the partnership. If the partnership has not carried out any operations, the issues of profit distribution and cost recovery are irrelevant. Nevertheless, it should be noted that any share, portion of the profit or recovery of costs could be claimed only after the partnership is dissolved.
All pecuniary rights of the partner originate after the dissolution of the general partnership and if their scope is not agreed in advance, the applicable law provides for equal shares of all partners, distribution of profit and loss in accordance with the size of the share, and the right of the partner to claim recovery of the costs incurred, together with the interest accrued and the damage sustained in the dealings of the partnership.
This brief overview leads to the conclusion that the protection of a partner in a general partnership, and his or her pecuniary rights in particular, is set out in the law and that the law gives freedom to the partners to decide on the scope of their rights and obligations and on the duration of the general partnership. A written agreement on the establishment of a general partnership with detailed clauses on the type and time limits for making contributions by each partner, on the rights and obligations, size of the shares, duration of the partnership and rules on the participation in profit and loss is the guarantee that a partner could invoke the dissolution of the general partnership upon the expiration of its term and claim his or her share, portion of the profit and part of the costs incurred from the other partners.

Press Release - Rental Disputes Centre launches Rental Good Conduct Certificate service
· The first-of-its-kind initiative consolidates Dubai's global position as a transparent real estate environment and reduces disputes
· Judge Abdulqader Mousa: The new service implements the initiatives offered by the Centre to reduce rental disputes
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 9th September 2018: The Rental Disputes Centre (RDC) in Dubai launched the Rental Good Conduct (RGC) Certificate service, a first-of-its-kind initiative in the world that aims to enhance trust between land lords and tenants and reduce the rates of disputes that may arise between them.
HE Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of Dubai Land Department (DLD), commented: "The RDC's launch of the new RGC Certificate service comes in line with the vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish a distinguished operational system that elevates Dubai's position globally and offers the society facilitated and more convenient services. The RGC Certificate service also enhances the smart transformation of procedures provided to customers, contributing to achieving excellence and providing easily accessible services that ensure customer satisfaction."
Bin Mejren added: "Dubai, with its various administrative, legal, and judicial institutions, focuses on establishing a modern and advanced environment where everyone may enjoy safety and security for themselves and their finances. This is one of the main features that enhances Dubai's global position as a preferred investment destination and as one of the happiest city in the world."
HE Judge Abdulqader Mousa, Director of the RDC at DLD, said: "The new service implements the initiatives offered by the Centre to reduce rental disputes and was initiated following the monitoring of several cases where a tenant rents a unit and only pays the first instalment of the agreed total cost. At the end of the contract, the same person rents another unit and repeats the act in other properties, exposing the leaser to severe losses. This service will assist real estate management companies in finding rental information of a person they intend to contract with and avoid such mishaps."
Mousa added: "There are many benefits to this service: on one hand, a customer can inquire whether or not a rental case was filed against them to avoid being subjected to a sudden legal implication, travel prevention, or seizure of their accounts and property. On the other hand, it allows leasers to inquire about a person, and whether a rental case was filed against them, allowing them to make their decision on whether or not they want to sign the contract based on accurate information. In addition, it also allows tenants to inquire about the leaser and whether they are known to cause legal problems with tenants."
Mousa confirmed that the data is provided without violating the laws of confidentiality. The service provides information according to mechanisms that have been subjected to careful review, and is available to inquire about both individuals and companies.
The service can be obtained via phone by following specific steps: Download the RDC application from Apple Store or Play Store, click the RGC Certificate service icon, and then choose one of three options: inquiry on tenant, inquiry on leaser, or inquiry on request status.
Mousa concluded: "The main objective for establishing the RDC was to simplify procedures for all parties in regards to the rental contract, spread awareness among them, and reduce disputes, especially by defining each party's duties and rights and how best to comply with relevant laws and legislation. The figures issued by RDC indicate that the number of dispute cases continues to decline which confirms the success of our mission and the achievement of the goals for which RDC was established. It is certain that these initiatives will contribute to the establishment of a transparent and safe real estate environment that supports Dubai Plan 2021 which consolidates the Emirate's position as the ideal destination for living, working, visiting, and investing."
HE Hesham Al Qassim, CEO of wasl Asset Management Group, commended this initiative and described it as the ideal solution to address rent violations which subsequently may cause real estate management companies to suffer.
Al Qassim added: "We are confident that RDC finds proactive and helpful solutions to create a safe environment that benefits all involved parties, and maintains Dubai's reputation as a happy city and the preferred destination for living and investing."
RDC's latest initiative reflects its eagerness to employ artificial intelligence and digital transaction technology (blockchain) in support of our wise leadership's approach to globally position Dubai in the lead across all sectors and make it a happy city capable of shaping the future by reformulating and manufacturing the work methodologies of government agencies. This comes in support of the Dubai 10X initiative that aims to propel Dubai 10 years ahead of other cities around the world through government innovation.

The Chicago City Council assumed its modern form on April 16, 1923, with fifty wards each electing one alderman. Here is a list of the people who have served as an alderman since that time.

Since its incorporation as a city in 1837 Chicago had been divided into wards whose number varied but which were almost always entitled to two aldermen. In the early 20th century it was decided that reducing the number of aldermen to a ward to one would be a cost-saving measure, and an ordinance to that effect was passed in 1920, taking effect in 1923.

Aldermanic elections in Chicago have been formally nonpartisan since 1920. Nevertheless, many aldermen have had, and continue to have, de facto partisan affiliations that are reflected in this list.

This list is organized by which side of the Chicago River the wards were on as of 1923. Numbering the wards such that those on the South Side received the first numbers, followed by in order the West and North sides was a tradition that had dated to the City's founding and division into wards in 1837. Incumbent aldermen who started a new term in 1923 are reckoned as having started their term in 1923 regardless of whenever they actually started holding office, which is noted in the "Notes" column.

History
Chicago was incorporated in 1837 and initially comprised six wards.

South Side (Wards 1–19)

1st Ward
Originally covering the Loop, Near South Side, and the northern part of Armour Square, this ward was significantly moved to its current location in 1993 to help stymie corruption.

How accurate map database can prepare Japan for 40 million tourists?
Last year, a record 31.19 million tourists travelled to Japan. This made 2018 the sixth consecutive year to have registered an all-time high in the number of visitors to the Land of the Rising Sun. And this number is only bound to increase because later this year, Rugby World Cup is being held in Japan. And in 2020, Tokyo is playing host to Olympics and Paralympics. The government, in fact, is positive that the number of tourists visiting the nation will reach 40 million in 2020.
Naturally, with so many tourists visiting Japan – especially from areas like China, Europe, the United States, and Australia – the demand for local maps in mobile applications is bound to rise. And these maps not only need to be multilingual, but they must also possess a location precision so uncanny that the travellers are left impressed as well as encouraged to visit again.
The landscape of Tokyo city
This is where an accurate map database comes into the picture. Be it city map data, address data, points of interest (POI) data, road network data, 3D building data, phone number data, or voice guidance/illustration – high-quality, fresh, and accurate data is the backbone of any information system or service.
Map content provider INCREMENT P started the creation and maintenance of original map data in Japan in 1994, making 2019 their 25th year in the mapping business. Fully owned by car navigation hardware company Pioneer, INCREMENT P began its journey by providing map data to its parent organization's in-car navigation systems, before graduating to making digital map software for PCs and map software development kits for business use cases.
By 2002, the multiple-award-winning company was starting the distribution of map data to online connected car navigation systems – a first in the world.
In 2004, when its digital mapping software for PCs had already garnered a solid fan base of 1 million users, INCREMENT P started focusing on developing map content for mobile phones. And following the first support for multilingual maps in 2008.
INCREMENT P expanded its map business into Southeast Asia. They opened the branch office in Bangkok, 2015 and succeeded to release 10 ASEAN countries map data. (Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Brunei)
As for HD mapping project of Japan, INCREMENT P is one of the shareholders for Dynamic Map Platform Co. Ltd. in 2017 and involved common base HD map data for autonomous driving for expressways of Japan.
For their latest activity of the additional data to their map API, INCREMENT P will release traffic jam information through their Traffic API in this year. This enables accurate travelling time calculation for routing.
Today, there is no better company than INCREMENT P to provide the most accurate and up-to-date local "address point database" in Japan as well. Its dataset consists of five layers – prefecture, municipality, district, block, and house number. And it is so detailed that even if the same address is used for multiple buildings, these guys are able to assign an individual address point to each building. The official name and the commonly-used local names for addresses are also defined clearly to make sure tourists do not get confused by colloquial lingo.
The address polygon corresponds to reverse geocoding and can be associated with sales activity list and big data, making it perfect for marketing, disaster prevention, environmental enhancement purposes, etc. Meanwhile, postal data support ensures that tourists can easily conduct searches using postal codes as well.
And did you know that INCREMENT P has been driving all over Japan since 2005 and capturing pictures at intervals of 5-meters? The company wants to make sure it eliminates the alleys that are not suitable for driving and provide a road network data that is bang on – right from road names and signboard information to traffic restrictions and intersection information.
Another factor that makes INCREMENT P the perfect mapping database partner for foreign residents and inbound tourists is its support for multiple languages. The annotations are available in 13 languages – English, Chinese (both simplified and traditional), Korean, Thai, Indonesian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, and of course, Japanese. Phew!
Japan may be looking at an inflow of 40 million tourists in 2020, but with the right mapping database, companies can make sure that they make the visitors feel right at home. To know more about how INCREMENT P's data can help you, contact them here.
