1.8.1. Scripture
126.96.36.199. And everyone who has this hope [resting] on Him cleanses (purifies) himself just as He is pure (chaste, undefiled, guiltless).
188.8.131.52. But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy [and acknowledge Him] as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully. (1Peter 3:15)
126.96.36.199. So brace up your minds; be sober (circumspect, morally alert); set your hope wholly and unchangeably on the grace (divine favor) that is coming to you when Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is revealed. (1Peter 1:13)
126.96.36.199. Now... Faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. (Hebews 11:1)
18.104.22.168. This was so that, by two unchangeable things [His promise and His oath] in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled [to Him] for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before [us].
220.127.116.11. ...we do [strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity [all the way through] in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of [your] hope until the end,
184.108.40.206. And it is we who are [now members] of this house, if we hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].
184.108.40.206. [Resting] in the hope of eternal life, [life] which the ever truthful God Who cannot deceive promised before the world or the ages of time began.
184.108.40.206. With a view to this we toil and strive, [yes and] suffer reproach, because we have [fixed our] hope on the living God, Who is the Savior (Preserver, Maintainer, Deliverer) of all men, especially of those who believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to Him).
184.108.40.206. ...let us be sober and put on the breastplate (corslet) of faith and love and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
126.96.36.199. Recalling unceasingly before our God and Father your work energized by faith and service motivated by love and unwavering hope in [the return of] our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
18.104.22.168. Because of the hope [of experiencing what is] laid up (reserved and waiting) for you in heaven. Of this [hope] you heard in the past in the message of the truth of the Gospel,
184.108.40.206. This is in keeping with my own eager desire and persistent expectation and hope, that I shall not disgrace myself nor be put to shame in anything; but that with the utmost freedom of speech and unfailing courage
184.108.40.206. By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
184.108.40.206. ...through the [Holy] Spirit's [help], by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God [our conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us] to hope.
184.108.40.206. But I hope you will recognize and know that we are not disapproved on trial and rejected.
220.127.116.11. Since we have such [glorious] hope (such joyful and confident expectation), we speak very freely and openly and fearlessly.
126.96.36.199. If we who are [abiding] in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied.
188.8.131.52. And so faith, hope, love abide [faith--conviction and belief respecting man's relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God's love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1Corinthians 13:13)
22.214.171.124. May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. (Romans 15:13)
220.127.116.11. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)
184.108.40.206. This is the reason therefore why I have begged to see you and to talk with you, since it is because of the Hope of Israel (the Messiah) that I am bound with this chain. (Acts 28:20)
184.108.40.206. And now I stand here on trial [to be judged on the ground] of the hope of that promise made to our forefathers by God. (Acts 26:6)
22.214.171.124. So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, although He is not far from each one of us. (Acts 17:27)

3. Trinity
3.1. Jesus
3.1.1. Of prayerful habits, of a prayerful spirit, given to long solitary communion with God, Jesus was above all else, a man of prayer.
3.1.2. prayer was the law of life. By it He lived. It was the inspiration of His toil, the source of His strength, the spring of His joy. With our Lord prayer was no sentimental episode, nor an afterthought, nor a pleasing, diverting prelude, nor an interlude, nor a parade or form. For Jesus, prayer was exacting, all-absorbing, paramount.
3.1.3. The crux of His earthly history, in New Testament terminology, is condensed to a single statement.
3.1.4. Our Lord is the pattern for all preachers, and, with Him, It was the call of a sweet duty to Him, the satisfying of a restless yearning, the preparation for heavy responsibilities, and the meeting of a vigorous need. This being so, the disciple must be as his Lord, the servant as his Master. As was the Lord Himself, so also must be those whom He has called to be His disciples. Our Lord Jesus Christ chose His twelve Apostles only after He had spent a night in praying; and we may rest assured that He sets the same high value on those He calls to His ministry, in this our own day and time. No feeble or secondary place was given to prayer in the ministry of Jesus. It comes first-emphatic, conspicuous, controlling.
188.8.131.52. Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears, unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared."
3.2. Holy Spirit
3.3. Father God, Creator of the Universe
3.3.1. God wants elect men -- men out of whom self and the world have gone by a severe crucifixion, by a bankruptcy which has so totally ruined self and the world that there is neither hope nor desire of recovery; men who by this insolvency and crucifixion have turned toward God perfect hearts.
3.3.2. A Loving God who wants to be with us
3.3.3. It's impossible to come into contact with all that God is without change taking place.
3.3.4. God says to not be anxious about anything
3.4. The Word of God
3.4.1. The Word of God is inseparably linked with prayer. The two are conjoined, twins from birth, and twins by life.
3.4.2. Scripture
220.127.116.11. 1 John 5:14-15
188.8.131.52.1. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have hte petitions that we have asked of Him
3.5. God's Plan
3.5.1. Redemption
126.96.36.199. Bound up with Prayer
126.96.36.199. Frontage the imperative, universal and eternal condition
4. Law
4.1. Law of Attraction
4.1.1. Ask
220.127.116.11. Decide exactly what you want.
22.214.171.124. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want.
4.1.2. Affirm
220.127.116.11. When I am talking about how bad my current reality is, I am attracting more of it into my life.
18.104.22.168. When I am against something, I am attracting more of it into my life.
220.127.116.11.1. Like the Bagel, and the Vicodin, I was against it for Amber but then attracted it into my life
126.96.36.199. When I am worrying about something, I am attracting more of it into my life.
126.96.36.199. I am feeling extremly joyful right now because the joy of the LORD is my strength
18.104.22.168. I am expanding my mind by using mindmaps and reading books

188.8.131.52. I am focusing on what I want, and I am talking about what I want to everyone each day.
220.127.116.11. Bear in Mind
18.104.22.168.1. Bear in Mind: Create an affirmation that summarizes each goal. Make sure they adhere to the following guidelines: 1) Start with the words "I am …" 2) State it in the present tense. 3) State it in the positive. 4) Keep it brief. 5) Make it specific and measurable. (How much…by when.) 6) Include an action word ending with –ing. 7) Include at least one dynamic feeling word. 8) Make affirmations for yourself, not others.
126.96.36.199.2. When repeating your affirmations, close your eyes afterwards, and see yourself looking out through your own eyes seeing what you would see if the desired outcome were actually happening right now. Hear the sounds you would be hearing, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, feel the feelings you would be feeling. Your feelings amplify the intensity of your request and accelerate the speed of its manifestation.
4.1.3. Prepare the Soil

6. Spellprayers
6.1. The Prayer of Consecration
6.1.1. Not my will, but Your will be done
7. Hindrances
7.1. Worrying
7.1.1. Whenever I'm having trouble with worry, I set aside a specific time and place to get it all out. Then when the Devil comes back to me and tries to get me all upset about that situation again, I can refuse him. I'll say, "No, I won't take that back. I remember exactly when and where I was when I gave that to God. I told Him everything that was bothering me about that situation. Now it belongs to Him, and I won't touch it with worry."
7.1.2. As you do, you'll continue to pray powerful prayers, prayers unhindered by worry and care. Prayers that get results
7.2. Hurried devotions make weak faith, feeble convictions, questionable piety. To be little with God is to be little for God. To cut short the praying makes the whole religious character short, scrimp, niggardly, and slovenly. It takes good time for the full flow of God into the spirit. Short devotions cut the pipe of God's full flow. It takes time in the secret places to get the full revelation of God. Little time and hurry may mar the picture
8. Quotes
8.1. "Study not to be a fine preacher. Jerichos are blown down with rams' horns. Look simply unto Jesus for preaching food; and what is wanted will be given, and what is given will be blessed, whether it be a barley grain or a wheaten loaf, a crust or a crumb. Your mouth will be a flowing stream or a fountain sealed, according as your heart is. Avoid all controversy in preaching, talking, or writing; preach nothing down but the devil, and nothing up but Jesus Christ."
8.2. "One bright benison which private prayer brings down upon the ministry is an indescribable and inimitable something -- an unction from the Holy One... If the anointing which we bear come not from the Lord of hosts, we are deceivers, since only in prayer can we obtain it. Let us continue instant constant fervent in supplication. Let your fleece lie on the thrashing floor of supplication till it is wet with the dew of heaven."
8.3. "Speak for eternity. Above all things, cultivate your own spirit. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear and your heart full of God's Spirit is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin. Remember that God, and not man, must have the glory. If the veil of the world's machinery were lifted off, how much we would find is done in answer to the prayers of God's children."
8.4. "Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. God does nothing but in answer to prayer."
8.5. "If some Christians that have been complaining of their ministers had said and acted less before men and had applied themselves with all their might to cry to God for their ministers -- had, as it were, risen and stormed heaven with their humble, fervent and incessant prayers for them -- they would have been much more in the way of success."
8.6. "This perpetual hurry of business and company ruins me in soul if not in body. More solitude and earlier hours! I suspect I have been allotting habitually too little time to religious exercises, as private devotion and religious meditation, Scripture-reading, etc. Hence I am lean and cold and hard. I had better allot two hours or an hour and a half daily. I have been keeping too late hours, and hence have had but a hurried half hour in a morning to myself. Surely the experience of all good men confirms the proposition that without a due measure of private devotions the soul will grow lean. But all may be done through prayer -- almighty prayer, I am ready to say -- and why not? For that it is almighty is only through the gracious ordination of the God of love and truth. O then, pray, pray, pray!"
8.7. "I judge that my prayer is more than the devil himself; if it were otherwise, Luther would have fared differently long before this. Yet men will not see and acknowledge the great wonders or miracles God works in my behalf. If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great deal of the fire of faith."

Intro From the earliest open hearths to today's high-tech extravaganzas, the kitchen has always been the domestic center of any house. In fact, in colonial America, the kitchen often wasn't just the center of the house, it was the house: a single large room with a fireplace where people cooked, slept, and ate. Even when separate bedrooms and common rooms were added, the hub of the house remained the hearth, no doubt because it was the warmest room in winter.
The kitchen is still where family and friends are most likely to gather. Modern living rooms often lie empty while the kitchen assumes the role of social gathering place. Everything -- from marriage proposals to a child's first steps -- is likely to take place in the kitchen, and (oh, yes) it is also where we cook and eat!
The kitchen is a socially complace place to be sure, but it's also a physically complex one. A livable/workable kitchen must be ergonomically sensible, comfortable to work in, and visually pleasing. It's not surprising, then, that we place a great deal of importance on making this space as personally efficient and visually appealing as possible.
Odds are that you are at least somewhat unsatisfied with your kitchen. Regardless of whether it is new or old, you may have found it lacking in some way. I'm not talking about anything major: Perhaps there are a few places that you can't reach comfortable, or there isn't enough counter space or not enough storage. Possibly it needs some organization or just a little dressing up.
This book begins with some ideas on planning and/or choosing the projects you might want to build and why. Advice on scale and proportion is included, in case you have to adjust the size of a project to better fit your kitchen. It also points out other ways to customize your projects (for example, by choosing different woods for different projects) and offers some thoughts on finishing options. There's also a primer on the tools, techniques, and joinery used to build the projects.
The 17 projects presented range from a simple rolling pin to a full-size kitchen island. Many of these projects can be completed in a weekend, allowing you the quick gratification that comes from successfully completing a project. Others will take longer and be more challenging, leading to even greater satisfaction. Regardless of the degree of difficulty, these projects are all attractive and useful and should be interesting and fun to build.
Additionally, these projects are designed for a space that is central to everyone's life -- the kitchen -- which is arguably the most social and public space in your house. And what better gallery is there for you to display your work?

Richard Gorman for Hermès
Originally destined for a business career, in the family tradition, Richard Gorman's first love soon caught up with him, and overtook his life. In 1970, aged 24, he discovered Picasso's Guernica on a trip to New York. An Irishman born and raised in Dublin, he attended Trinity College and the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, before moving to Italy and establishing his studio in Milan, in the early 1980s. His first exhibitions were held shortly after, since when his work has featured regularly at Dublin's Kerlin Gallery, as well as in Cologne, London, Milan, Tokyo, and New York. A major colourist, Richard Gorman soon embraced Abstract Expressionism, deploying vast fields of colour from the early 1990s onwards, exploring the symbiosis and tension between their inherent geometry and the limits of their support. Gorman's powerful compositions are, he says, neither narrative, nor illustrative of an idea or concept of any kind. Painting is a process that begins with the choice of a surface, a support, and a set of dimensions: the starting point for a magnificent encounter with the world of Hermès, and the choice of a work, bringing Gorman's inimitable colour to the medium of a silk carré, for the first time.

Refectory in Philosophenweg
The "Verein Jenaer Studentenhilfe" (Jena Association for Student Assistance) commissioned a new building in 1927, since the existing facilities for students in Jena were not adequate. The contract for the building was awarded to the "Aktive Bauatelier" (Active Architectural Workshop) of the State College for Trades and Architecture in Weimar, represented by architects Otto Bartning and Ernst Neufert.
The foundation stone was laid in 1929 and the building officially opened in December 1930. The cubic steel frame structure with a flat roof has a red brick facade interrupted by large windows. The swivel windows and universal outside window sills are design innovations. The building included a kitchen, a large refectory, a room for talks and events, a café, small rooms for meetings, a library and staff flats. The Student House was completely renovated in the mid-Nineties and is still used today as a student facility with a refectory, rooms for events and offices of the Thuringian Students' Union.

I'm starting to think about my own bridal look and would love to see what you Bees have done yourselves or think is stunning.
Show me your hairstyles and makeup for the big day! 🙂
I love this whole look and plan on using it for inspo 🙂
I pinned a lot of braids and things. 🙂
And I am going for minimal/natural-looking makeup.
Love both not sure if going up or down yet:
I haven't gotten too concrete yet but I'm loving a loose updo with a pin or flowers and natural makeup.
Make up inspo:
Hair inspo:
I also bought a head piece thing, that I am debating on wearing.
Similar to this one:
I will be doing a waterfall braid along the back with the rest of my hair down and loosely curled. This is the photo I've been using to show what I want but the braid will be slightly lower with my veil.
I want very fresh, rosey, makeup with a slight cat eye.
I'm going pretty glam. Big hair *hopefully* and dramatic makeup. I love makeup and wear alot on a daily basis so I want to really glam it up for the wedding (40 days away!!!) so that I don't just look like my normal day to day self. My MUA really nailed the makeup in my opinion. She did my hair too but it wasn't as big as I wanted, but that was my fault. I told her I thought the curling wand would be better but she wanted to do curls with the straightener. We did my way and the curls weren't great, so we brushed it back out and did it her way. My hair could have been alot more voluminous if I hadn't given my 0.02 lol.
Makeup inspo pic:
All gorg! Please keep 'em coming!
I want glowy makeup with a smokey eye and for my hair to have curls parted to one side maybe with a brooch.
Here's my inspiration!!
I'll be doing my own everything, so I've already started practicing and playing with my makeup. This is my favorite so far;
As for hair Im not sure if I will still have my bangs but I think so. If yes then something along these lines with the veil fastened above the messy bun;
Here's mine!
I really never wear makeup except eyeliner and powder so I wanna keep it natural but still a little different for my wedding!
Here is my hair and makeup from my big day…I was going for a vintage glam vibe ☺
The topic 'Show me your wedding hair and makeup inspo!!' is closed to new replies.

A Circuit Court judge is considering granting a new trial to a man convicted of murder after his attorneys argued prosecutors violated the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights.
Judge Ronald Silkworth delayed Monday's sentencing of Richard Wayne Brooks, 53, of Severn. His attorney argued in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court that the prosecution's closing arguments to the jury made it sound like Brooks was required to prove his innocence rather than the state having to prove his guilt.
Karl Gordon said it was a violation of his client's Fifth Amendment rights where defendants are not required to testify nor should their lack of testimony be presented as evidence of their guilt.
Brooks was convicted by a jury in March of first- and second-degree murder in the killing of Mark Hatmaker in 2015, despite investigators not finding Hatmaker's body nor the weapon used to kill him.
Gordon made the argument in a motion Monday, saying that Assistant State's Attorney Jason Knight had led the jury to make inferences about Brooks' lack of testimony during his closing arguments.
A Severn man was found guilty Thursday of the murder of a Baltimore County man in 2015 over what prosecutors said was $40,000 stolen in a fake drug deal.
Knight had pointed to an interview Brooks had with police where he deferred questions from officers, asking them to put them in writing and give him two weeks to respond. Knight said "there is absolutely no answer" now in 2018 as to how Hatmaker died without the explanation being that Brooks killed him.
At the time, Christine O'Donnell, Brooks' other attorney, objected to the comment, but Silkworth overruled her and allowed Knight to proceed.
Gordon argued that Knight's comments, in addition to him pointing at Brooks during his closing arguments, was Knight "arguing the defense had a burden to explain how this occurred."
"Here we have him not commenting on the evidence, but commenting on the lack of evidence," Gordon said, adding that "the last thing the jury was left with was Mr. Knight's (comments.)"
Knight disagreed, saying that not only was he commenting on a piece of evidence — in this case, Brooks' statements to police — but even if his comments had crossed the line, the evidence against Brooks was "overwhelming." He said his comments should not be considered as disqualifying for an unbiased or unaffected verdict.
"I do not believe that it (shifts the burden) in any way," Knight said.
Brooks, clad in a black suit for Monday's hearing, sat quietly through much of the proceedings, only trading a few remarks with family members while being unshackled.
While Silkworth had not sustained O'Donnell's original objection, he decided after a brief recess and then a private meeting with both defense and prosecuting attorneys that he needed more time to consider Gordon's motion.
He postponed the sentencing until he rules on the motion, saying it would be "soon" without giving a specific date to expect his opinion.
Prosecutors had secured Brooks' conviction on largely circumstantial evidence. They said Brooks set up Hatmaker — a drug dealer with hundreds of thousands of dollars in loose cash and firearms in a storage locker — with a fake drug deal in Glen Burnie.
Hatmaker's mother, Lula, said that he had stopped dealing after the birth of his daughter, who was born with cerebral palsy and various ailments requiring constant attention and care.
Prosecutors said Brooks killed Hatmaker and stole $40,000 from Hatmaker, but Hatmaker's body was never found nor a murder weapon recovered, making it a difficult case for prosecutors.
However, evidence presented at trial tied Brooks to Hatmaker's death, including blood samples matching Hatmaker's in a truck rented by Brooks, along with large trash bags, a tarp and tape.
Brooks also owned an RV andchanged titles and registration after Hatmaker's disappearance, prosecutors said. Investigators found more blood spatter inside the RV.
Knight disputed the suggestion that his comments would affect the verdict given the evidence presented.
But Gordon argued there was evidence that would suggest Brooks' innocence, including data showing Hatmaker's cellphone and Brooks' cellphone moved in different directions from the crime scene.
"I don't think the evidence is overwhelming," Gordon said.
There is no set date as to when Silkworth is expected to rule.

Following in the lineage of fine china I produce objects for domestic service, adding my own sense of affect and defect. When you think of porcelain, you first consider its physical qualities of strength, fragility, translucence, then porcelain's class association and cultural significance. The work's primary use is that of a functional object and all the pieces perform as they should. My urban environment, Modernist architecture, backyard forts, 19th century European porcelain, Minimalism, and Song Dynasty porcelain all inform and affect the work.

Work Accident Solicitors & Accident at Work Injury Claims
Have you suffered an injury
following an accident at work?
Our Work Accident Solicitors are qualified legal professionals who have specialist experience in helping people claim compensation where they have sustained an injury at work.
If you have been injured in a Workplace Accident, we know what you'll be going through. Our solicitors have successfully settled thousands of work accident claims and you can be sure, we will help you get the compensation that you deserve. For a free initial consultation about your claim, get in touch with our specialist Work Accident Solicitors today.
Can I claim for an accident at work?
You will likely be able to make a Work Accident Claim if you've been injured following an accident caused by health and safety procedures not being followed. In certain cases, you may even be able to claim injury compensation if an accident at work makes an existing injury or health condition worse.
Employers are legally obligated to provide safe working environments for all staff. Unfortunately, not all live up to their responsibilities.
Sheldon Davidson Solicitors may be able to help you if you've suffered an injury at work. We believe that everyone should be able to carry out their work without having to worry about their personal safety.
To make a claim for a Workplace Injury, the incident must have been caused by your employer's actions – or lack of. If you were at fault for the accident, you will not be entitled to make a claim.
Workplace accidents commonly occur when…
- An employer does not provide the relevant training for a piece of equipment and/or a procedure
- An employer does not provide workers with the relevant safety equipment (faulty safety equipment counts as no safety equipment
- An employer fails to put up warning signs around hazards (such as liquid spillages) or fails to section off slipping or tripping hazards
The company you were for is legally obliged to insure you against accidents at work so that if an accident does happen for whatever reason, you are suitably compensated for your injuries.
We can also help you make a claim if you've contracted an industrial disease (which includes repetitive strain injuries, upper limb disorders, and many more conditions caused by unsound working conditions). It's important that you make your claim as quickly as possible. You have a three-year deadline from the date of the accident to begin your claim. If you have contracted an industrial disease which did not immediately become apparent, your deadline is three years from the date of diagnosis.
Employer legal obligations
for keeping employees safe
The law provides a framework for employers to adhere to in order to safeguard the health and safety of its employees whilst at work. It's a simple and fundamental legal requirement. As an employee you should, at the very least, expect to go to work and return home safe and well at the end of each day. In order to ensure this an employer is required to provide the following for every employee, all of the time:
- A safe place in which to work (including working from home, or an off-site location)
- Competent staff i.e. all staff who may be exposed to Health & Safety risks have been given adequate training
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and proper guidance on when and how it should be used
- Safe procedures and adequate supervision is in place to ensure employees operate in a way so as to eliminate the risk of injury
Despite these legal mandates, in reality, half of all serious accidents actually occur in the workplace. The reality is that many occupations, unfortunately, involve exposure to risk and as a result, the probability of an accident is higher than normal.
Unless the right procedures and safeguards are adhered to, all of the time, then as you may expect, mistakes do happen and unfortunately, sometimes people get injured as a result. Some common examples of accidents that tend to occur are:
- Work Accidents due to the carelessness of another employee
- Work Accidents due to the negligence of an employer (such as inadequate training)
- Construction site accidents (such as falling objects)
- Falls from height (such as scaffolding or high platforms)
- Slips, trips or falls (such as wet floors with no hazard signs or poorly lit areas)
- Work Accidents involving machinery
- Manual handling accidents or Repetitive Strain Injury
- Farm Injuries
- Electrical injuries
- Illness caused by exposure to hazardous substances such as chemicals or pesticides
Employers liability insurance
Employers are also required by law to have Employers Liability Insurance, which is designed to cover them in case an employee(s) does suffer an accident in the workplace. Despite this requirement for adequate insurance cover, many employees who suffer a Work Accidents are reluctant to pursue a claim for injury compensation, even when they have suffered injuries as a result of their employers' negligence.
As an example, it could be that the injured person was operating machinery without having been given the proper training and was seriously injured. In this scenario the employer would be deemed negligent in the eyes of the law for failing to provide adequate training and the employee is fully entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
It is understandable to some extent that some employees feel a reluctance to make a Work Accident Claim against their employer, as they may be fearful of the consequences, or fallout of such a decision. It may be that they are still working for the employer and so feel that their future prospects could be affected, or existing relationships could be damaged.
If you have been injured and this is how you feel get in touch with our expert accident lawyers today. They will put your mind at ease and guide you through explaining the legalities of the process. Put simply, if you have suffered an injury whilst at work due to someone else's carelessness, you are entitled to injury compensation and your company is more than likely covered by Employers Liability Insurance. It will, more than likely, not be your employer who our lawyers deal with to progress the case to a conclusion in any case. It will all be handled by the insurance company and it will eventually be the insurer who pays the claim. So, call us for some expert advice and reassurance and let Sheldon Davidson support you to obtain the compensation you deserve.
We are highly accomplished in the field of workplace accidents and our lawyers understand how complex and stressful bringing such a case can be for an employee. We will give you all the benefit of our knowledge and experience in such cases and can assure you that you will be in safe hands. Make that initial call today so you can make an informed decision as to how to move forward.
Why it is so important to record all
workplace accidents and injuries
In case an accident does occur in the workplace then it should be recorded properly in the accident book. All accidents, no matter how minor in nature must be recorded. Every employer is required to have an accident book and to maintain a proper record of any accident that takes place. As an injured employee you will be required to sign and date the details recorded in the accident book and so you should ensure they accurately reflect what happened.
The details in this book will serve as proof and evidence in any claim for compensation, so it is vitally important that what is recorded reflects accurately how the injuries were sustained. It is important to note also that any claim for compensation must be made within three years of the accident. Another reason why accurate accident book records are essential.
Useful evidence when making a Work Accident Claim
- Any witnesses who can testify to what actually happened
- Medical records of hospital or GP treatment as a result of the accident
- Photos of the site of the accident and/or the injuries sustained
- Health and Safety report carried out after the accident took place
If you can provide any of the above evidence your case will be stronger as a result.
How much compensation is awarded
for 'accident at work claims'?
It is impossible to put a definitive figure on this, as the circumstances of any accident and the injuries sustained by the victim are unique. As with any claim for injury compensation though there are two main factors to establish. The first is proof of negligence and the more evidence that can be provided, the stronger the case will be. The second is the impact on the victim's life as a direct result of the accident. This impact will be used to value the claim and could include such things as:
- Loss of earnings during recovery and projected loss of earnings in the future
- Costs of care provision, or resulting loss of earnings for close friends, or family having to provide care in the home
- Financial expenses incurred as a result of the injury such as traveling to and from medical appointments, medical costs, and childcare
- Costs of treatment by specialists such as a Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, or an Osteopath
- Cancellation, or inability to enjoy a planned holiday
- Costs of aids to support independent living

Back pain affects thousands of people throughout the greater Atlanta region, causing a variety of complications that ultimately diminish or impair quality of life.
Being unable to follow through with your favorite activities or professional obligations can cause other emotional, behavioral, and physical complications, which is why it's important to maintain a strong, healthy spine.
A proactive approach to spinal health protects you from possible back injuries, while also allowing you to remain active and engaged.
Spinal Health
Your spine serves as one of the most important parts of your body and requires constant support to function properly. Here are a few simple tips you can follow through with to maintain a healthy spine.
If you are already experiencing chronic back pain or recently suffered some injury, contact our Atlanta Chiropractors as soon as possible to schedule a free consultation or a complete examination.
Chiropractic Tips For Maintaining A Healthy Spine
Walking is one of the best exercises you can perform when it comes to strengthening your spine. Unlike other forms of cardio, walking helps support bone structure and improves personal flexibility. Both concepts help reduce stress and tension that naturally builds over time, while also reducing the risk of potential injuries.
If finding the time to walk each day seems difficult based on your hectic schedule, try taking a 10-minute walk every 90 minutes throughout the work day.
Wearing the right shoewear when walking and exercising is also important for spinal health. Comfortable shoes that protect you from the impact of your movements help provide a stable environment for your spine and keep your back muscles in their natural positions. When purchasing new shoes, make sure that the heel offers a firm fit and that the arches of your feet are properly supported.
Beyond walking, it's important to remain conscious of your core and to follow through with regular exercise that focuses on your abdominal muscles. Performing trunk rotations, planks, and crunches several times each week will strengthen and tone your abs, reducing the chances of developing chronic back pain over time.
Contact AICA Atlanta For More Information and Back Pain Relief
There are plenty of ways that you can support and maintain a healthy spine, as well as protect yourself from chronic back pain.
If you are interested in learning more helpful tips and activities that you can perform on your own, contact AICA Atlanta's Chiropractors today to schedule a free consultation. Our Chiropractors can create a personalized treatment plan that helps you reach your personal health goals and protects you from potential chronic conditions.

Jamaican Churchgoers Hold Anti-Sodomy Revival Meeting
By BCNN6 – Several church pastors in Jamaica led a revival meeting Sunday to oppose efforts to overturn the Caribbean country's anti-sodomy law and turn back what they see as increasing acceptance of homosexuality.
Roughly 1,500 people in their Sunday best gathered in a central Kingston park for a spirited religious service two days before a rare court challenge to Jamaica's anti-sodomy law. The island's Supreme Court is scheduled to begin hearing on Tuesday a petition by a gay rights activist who hopes to challenge the constitutionality of the 1864 law under a charter of rights revamped in 2011.
The colonial-era "buggery law" prohibits anal sex and "gross indecency" between men, outlawing sexual relationships between consenting men. The punishment is 10 years in prison in Jamaica, one of several Caribbean islands with anti-sodomy laws enforced with strong backing from religious groups. Barbados, Guyana and Grenada are among the regional countries that uphold laws prohibiting homosexuality.
Some in the Kingston crowd carried placards saying marriage should only be between a man and a woman and others pumped signs into the air saying "Keep the buggery law!" A similar prayer meeting was held in the northern city of Montego Bay.
A religious group called Prayer 2000, led by the Rev. Naila Ricketts, spearheaded the meetings. Pastors spoke about the power of prayer and the need to transform Jamaica as petitions were circulated urging the government not to abolish the anti-sodomy law. A gospel music band performed while the participants enthusiastically clapped, swayed and sang under the hot afternoon sun.
"We need our politicians to know that we need them to walk the path of righteousness," said Eleanor Johnson, who said she travelled from Jamaica's southern Clarendon parish to participate.
Church of Christ pastor Leslie Buckland urged the crowd to pray for the conversion of homosexuals and lesbians. He said gay rights activists are trying to "take over the world" by challenging anti-gay laws in the courts. He said that once Jamaica's sodomy law was repealed, gay activists would "go back to the court to make it a criminal offence to speak against the homosexual lifestyle."
During a televised debate shortly before leading her party to a dominating win in 2011 national elections, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called for a review of the law that would come in the form of a "conscience vote" by lawmakers. The information minister recently said Simpson Miller would soon take the matter to parliament.
Many people in this highly Christian nation perceive homosexuality as a sin.
Some say Jamaica tolerates homosexuality as long as it is not in the open. But gay activists say Jamaica is by far the most hostile island toward homosexuals in the conservative Caribbean. They say homosexuals in poor communities suffer frequent abuse and have little recourse because of anti-gay stigma and the anti-sodomy law.

Alexandria Nylen, an advanced PhD Candidate in International Relations, has had a paper accepted in the very prestigious European Journal of International Relations! This journal is ranked 6th by the most recent Teaching and Research in International Politics survey. EJIR accepts only 12% of papers, and to publish there as a PhD candidate is a tremendous achievement.
Alexandria's newly accepted paper, "Frontier Justice," was originally her Inter-Intra comp paper, chaired by Jamie Rowen and with Timothy Pachirat and myself as second and third readers. She completed it in one semester, and immediately submitted it to journals. The paper analyses US foreign policy rhetoric toward "lawless spaces" as justifications for the use of drone strikes in frontier regions of Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Nylen traces how the concept of the "frontier" as "lawless" and the association of "law" with "sovereign control" is used to create loopholes in international legal norms about where human rights law ends and war law begins.

In the past four years, Long Beach has had a remarkable rebirth as the state's seventh largest city.
More than $3 billion in construction work is underway, helping to strengthen the economy. The unemployment rate is at an all-time low of 4.4 percent. The overall poverty rate has been reduced by 3 percent. Tourism is up. Overall crime is down. As it becomes more digital, Long Beach is transforming into a city of the future and not the past. Much of the credit for this renaissance goes to Mayor Robert Garcia and members of the Long Beach City Council.
That's why the editorial board is endorsing Garcia for re-election in the April 10 primary as mayor, along with incumbents in contested City Council races.
Mayor: Robert Garcia
Garcia gets good grades for his work in increasing pre-school enrollment and making Long Beach a more digital and more inclusive city. He also stepped in and supported more public hearings on the controversial Land Use Element plan when it ran into opposition.
James "Henk" Conn, Garcia's sole opponent, deserves credit for his passion despite his underdog position. Conn, a substitute teacher and former social worker, says his major issue is lack of affordable housing. Conn favors rent control, an initiative which may be on the ballot later in the year.
However, Garcia clearly has grown in leadership since he was elected as the city's youngest mayor four years ago. He should be re-elected.
Third District: Suzie Price
Suzie Price has been a fresh, new voice representing the third district. Price has been a strong fiscal conservative, arguing for prudence in spending. As chair of the city's Public Safety Committee, she has taken a lead role in placing more police officers on the street. She supports the revised Southeast Area Specific Plan development and building the Belmont Beach and Aquatic Center where the old pool was located. Price favors updating the city's Land Use Element but not to the detriment of neighborhoods.
Price's opponents are Gordana Kajer, a small business owner and activist, and Robert D. Savin, a Naples resident and physics teacher at Schurr High School in Montebello.
Kajer says the council makes too many "predetermined decisions" without enough public engagement. She thinks the SASP plan should be modified to reduce congestion and says the Aquatic Center should be built elsewhere. Savin said the city should do more to help the homeless and build the Aquatic Center at a lower cost. He also would like to see more transparency in government.
Price is the best choice and should be re-elected to the city's third district council seat. We endorse her.
Fifth: Stacy Mungo
District 5, on the eastern edge of Long Beach, may be a quiet, primarily residential area most of the time, but it's a hotbed of political activity now. Incumbent Stacy Mungo, finishing her first term on the council, is facing three opponents: Rich Dines, a former Long Beach harbor commissioner; Corliss Lee, a community activist and retired aerospace finance manager, and John Osborn, a retired Army veteran who serves as CFO and COO at an eye care business.
As chair of the city's Budget Oversight Committee, Mungo touts her budget experience in helping to lessen the impact of the city's projected financial deficits. Mayor Robert Garcia, who has endorsed her, says Mungo knows how to collaborate and get things done on the council.
Although we endorse Mungo, Dines, a marine clerk at the Port of Long Beach, has compelling strengths. Dines says the city has spent itself into deep deficits and needs to grow revenue, not using what he calls band-aids like Measure A, the 10-year sales tax initiative approved by voters in 2016.
Lee fought higher densities in the LUE which the council eventually modified and wants more transparency in city government. Osborn said fiscal responsibility needed to be "on the front burner."
Mungo has grown in her first term on the council and has learned to do a better job of listening to people. She has earned re-election for her second term. The editorial board endorses her.
Seventh: Roberto Uranga
Roberto Uranga won the seventh district seat handily in 2014 and gets the editorial board's endorsement for a second term.
He is facing four opponents: nonprofit consultant Kevin Shin, filmmaker Jared Milrad, real estate agent Chris Sereno and community activist Oscar De La Cruz. Uranga, a former Long Beach City College trustee, says he has spent his first term building relationships with his council colleagues and in the community. He said the city is moving in the right direction, but more needs to be done and he wants to be the one to do that.
Shin said housing affordability ranks among his top issues. He supports rent control as a first step in protecting tenants. He also says the city needs to do more to eliminate pollution in the district. Milrad criticized the poor city services in the district and wants to create more business improvement districts. De La Cruz, one of the founders of a weekly walk at Hudson Park, is opposed to expansion of the 710 Freeway and he wants more police patrols.
Uranga has the better experience to lead the district. He gets our endorsement for re-election.

High Court: Notice of Board Meeting Need Not Contain Details of Matters to be Discussed at Meeting
23 April 2019
Rozilawati bt Hj Basir v Nationwide Express Holdings Sdn Bhd & Ors
[2019] 8 MLJ 8, the plaintiff's contract of employment as managing director ("MD") of the 1
defendant was terminated at a board meeting of the 1
defendant held on 30 May 2018 ("the board meeting").
In essence, the plaintiff contended that the notice of meeting and the agenda for the board meeting did not state or indicate that her contract of employment, or her performance, or conduct as MD would be discussed at the board meeting and that a decision would be taken to terminate her contract of employment. The plaintiff sought a declaration that (i) the board meeting was wrongly convened, ineffective, invalid null and/or void; and (ii) the resolution passed at the board meeting was wrongful, ineffective, invalid, null and/or void.
The relevant facts in this case are as follows –
Article 86 of the 1
defendant's Constitution was silent as to the need for any specific detail to be mentioned in the notice or agenda for the board meeting;
the notice of the board meeting issued to the directors merely informed the directors of the convening of the board meeting and did not contain further details; and
the agenda for the board meeting, issued subsequently, specified other items to be discussed, including 'to receive Matters Arising" and "to transact other matters" but made no mention of any proposal to discuss the plaintiff's performance as MD or to remove her from that position.
The Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim. Nantha Balan, J, relying on the English Court of Appeal case of
La Compagnie de Mayville v Whitley
[1896] 1 Ch 788 held that (unlike notices of meetings of shareholders) there is no mandatory requirement that a notice of a directors' meeting must contain specific particulars of matters that are to be discussed or deliberated. The judge acknowledged that as a matter of prudent business practice, corporate transparency, and possibly, fairness to the targeted individual, the notice or agenda ought to give a 'heads up' of what to expect at the meeting so that the relevant parties can equip or appraise themselves with sufficient information so as to address the issues that are likely to or will arise at a board meeting. His Lordship however added that:
these ideal or best practices or equitable considerations do not derogate from or denude the salutary principle that a notice of board of directors or agenda which states precious little about the matters that are to be discussed is not ipso facto invalid or null and void ...
The Court considered the decision in
Lee Nyuk Heng & Anor v Pembangunan Ladang Hassan Sdn Bhd & Ors
[2003] 8 CLJ 237 where the High Court held that a notice convening a board meeting was invalid as the notice merely stated that the meeting was to fix a date for the company's annual general meeting and did not state that it was also to appoint the 5
defendant as chairman of the board. The 5
defendant subsequently used his casting vote as chairman to remove the 1
plaintiff as managing director.
Ian Chin, J in
Lee Nyuk Heng
concluded that "
it is highly arguable that the failure to state the matter of the of the proposal to appoint the 5
defendant as the chairman was deliberate as the (sic) surely such matter is far more important than fixing of a date of meeting and since the fixing of a date of meeting deserves specific reference, the matter of the proposal to appoint a chairman also deserves a specific mention
The fixing of a date for holding the AGM is a ruse intended to disarm the plaintiffs of their vigilance against the intention of the said defendants to appoint the fifth defendant as chairman and therefore to wrest control of the companies. The notice of meeting was therefore invalid. Consequently, the appointment of the 5
defendant as the chairman and the removal of the first plaintiff as managing director, which are acts that flow from such invalid notice are themselves invalid as well
The judge in this case declined to follow the decision in
Lee Nyuk Heng
as it was a decision by a court of coordinate jurisdiction and does not accord with the correct legal position, as set out in
La Compagnie
should not be taken as authority for the proposition that there is no mandatory requirement in all situations for a notice of board meeting to specify the matters that are to be discussed at a board meeting. Arising from this case, the following points should be noted –
Paragraph 4 of the Third Schedule of the Companies Act 2016 ("CA2016") which is a replaceable rule (see section 212 of CA2016) provides that a notice of a meeting of the Board shall, among others,
include the matters to be discussed
. If the 1
defendant in this case had not adopted a constitution or had adopted paragraph 4 of the said Third Schedule in its constitution, it is possible that the High Court would have come to a different conclusion; and
In any given case on a similar issue, the applicability of the general rule laid down in
La Compagnie
must be considered in light of the relevant provisions in the company's constitution (if any). In the absence of a constitution, or of express provision to the contrary in the constitution, paragraph 4 of the Third Schedule of CA2016 will require the notice of board meeting to include matters which are to be discussed at the meeting.
It is to be noted that the default position set out in paragraph 4 of the Third Schedule of CA2016 differs from the position set out in regulation 79 of the Fourth Schedule of the repealed Companies Act 1965. Regulation 79 merely states that "
The directors may meet together for the despatch of business, adjourn or otherwise regulated their meetings as they think fit. A director may at any time and the secretary shall on the requisition of a director summon a meeting of the directors
" and does not specify details of the information which is to be included in the notice of a board meeting.
