The Carnegie Wealth Secret And The Law Of Attraction

Posted on by blogger

The law of attraction reached public consciousness about 4 years ago with the release of Rhonda Byrnes “The Secret.” Many who had practiced the law of attraction considered “The Secret” a little thin, and accused it of being just a “feel good” piece. But the facts are is that “The Secret” did a great service in bringing the law of attraction so much attention.

How To Use The Law of Attraction

The law of attraction, in its simplest form, involves deciding with great clarity the thing that you want to attract and then following these steps.

1. Create a sensory rich vision of yourself, after you have obtained the object.

2. Note the ideas that come to you about the vision. This might be something that you should do or even someone you should talk to. This may take several sessions to happen but as you practice you will find this comes faster.

3. Take action right away.

Action, Action, Action

Do the thing that has come to you. If you don’t act on your vision when it comes to you then you are wasting your time with this entire exercise. Take action, it is that easy but the results won’t be instant. Often great things multi step. As you track these kinds of projects through you might make a chart and break out the steps as best you can. Then take each up in turn so you can progress through your project.

When using the law of attraction this way step 2 becomes critical. If you are visualizing such a project in step 1 then in step 2 you may see the project broken apart into smaller pieces. Next time you visualize start with the larger project and see yourself stepping out into your first step.

Journal Your Vision And Action Steps

It is important to journal all of this. Failing to do so will likely mean that you will fail to attract results even for the smallest project as your thoughts will stray. Using a journal before and after your visualization will keep you on track. This is an important secret that most people skip when using the law of attraction.

The Law of Attraction is at work in our world. The law of attraction works for everyone — is it being directed by you to bring the things you want to your life, or is it bringing you random results?

Labor Law Protects Employer And Employee In Case Of A Wrongdoing

Posted on by blogger

Labor law is also known as employment law in some parts of the world. These terms can be used interchangeably as they are used to refer to the same thing. Labor law is a broad category that encompasses all area of employer/employee relations. Labor law also includes the negotiation processes and collective bargaining. The purpose of labor law is to protect the employer and the employee in the case of a wrongdoing.

The present day labor law dates back to the 1930s. The 1930s have been called the New Deal era. It was during this time that Congress acted to raise minimum wage there was reconsideration of the labor laws that were affecting both private and public sector employees. There have been no major new laws that have been passed over the last few decades.

Early Labor Laws

Some of the early labor laws included the following:

The Clayton Act:

The Act stated, “The labor of a human being is not commodity or article of commerce,” and provided further that nothing contained in
The Federal antitrust laws: shall be construed to forbid the existence and operation of labor… organizations… nor shall such organizations, or the Members thereof, be held or construed to be illegal combinations or Conspiracies in restraint of trade under the anti-trust laws.

The Railway Act:

This Act was passed in 1926. It required those employers to bargain collectively and prohibiting discrimination against unions. It applied originally to interstate railroads and their related undertakings. It was amended in 1936 to include airlines.

Acts forbidden under the labor law

1) Dominating or otherwise interfering with formation of a labor union, including the provision of any financial or other support.

2) Interfering with or restraining employees engaged in the exercise of their rights to organize and bargain collectively.

3) Imposing any special conditions of employment, which tended either to encourage or discourage union membership. The law stated, however, that this provision should be construed to prohibit union contracts requiring union membership as a condition of employment in a company — a provision that, in effect, permitted the closed and union shops. (In the former, only pre-existing members of the union could be hired, in the latter. new employees were required to join the union.)

4) Discharging or discriminating against an employee because he had given testimony or filed charges under the Act.

5) Refusing to bargain collectively with unions representing a Companys employees

Lemon Law Is Arbitration Just Another Stall

Posted on by blogger

A jury in Tallahassee, Florida just unanimously awarded plaintiff Shamair Coward a complete refund from GM for her 2007 Saturn Ion. When the vehicle was traveling at speeds of approximately 30 miles per hour, the engine would drag, lose power, the RPM’s would go up and the front of the car made a rattling sound. Ms. Coward was forced to put the vehicle into fourth gear to prevent the vehicle from losing power and to lower the RPM’s.

Ms. Coward satisfied the needs of the lemon law by returning the vehicle to the dealership on 3 different occasions for repair, as well as presenting her case in Floridas mandatory arbitration program for resolution. It was good she did not stop with the arbitration, however; in that venue, she lost the case.

Some states require that arbitration be pursued prior to litigation, said leading California lemon law attorney Norman Taylor. If state law does not require arbitration, I always recommend it be avoided.

Taylors reasons for this advice are quite sound. Manufacturers love any kind of arbitration, he continued. Informal dispute resolution takes time, and any delay favors the manufacturer, who is not the one driving the defective vehicle. Consumers are frequently unfamiliar with the law and with the arbitration process, which can lead to awards in favor of the manufacturer even where the facts are relatively clear. It probably does not help that the manufacturers themselves fund almost all of these so called independent dispute resolution processes.

In his many years as a consumer activist and lemon law attorney, Taylor has had much occasion to observe the arbitration process. He has been a lemon law specialist since 1987, and he and his firm, Norman Taylor and Associates, have handled over 6,000 cases for consumers with a 98 percent success rate.

Arbitration is rarely helpful, even if the consumer wins. An example of this may be that the arbitrator may issue an eloquently worded opinion finding that a defect exists, but that in all fairness it looks as if it could be repaired. Instead of awarding the refund or replacement required by law, the consumer is awarded just another repair attempt.

For the consumers sake, a qualified lemon law attorney should be contacted right away when a lemon is suspected. Careful and expert legal guidance can help them avoid many of the delaying tactics and pitfalls thrown before them in pursuing their rights under the lemon law.

Hadith, The Second Source Of Islamic Law

Posted on by blogger

The primary source of Islamic law is Divine Revelation. It has been given to humankind by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in 2 kinds. One is the Quran, the direct word of Allah (SWT), and the other is the Sunnah or the teachings of the Prophet (SAW). The Prophet (SAW) always acted according to the instructions of Allah (SWT).

Hadith which is usually applied also for Sunnah, is oral custom relating to the words and deeds of the Muslim prophet Muhammad saw. Lingually the word hadith means that which is fresh from amongst things or some informations communicated either in a micro amount or large. In Islamic nomenclature, the term hadith refers to report about the statements or actions of Muhammad, or about his implied approval of something stated or done in his presence.

The Quran and the Sunnah are complimentary. The meaningful of the Quran is in general in nature. The Sunnah gets it specified and particular. The Sunnah explains the instruction manual of the Quran. The Quranic injunction is sometimes implicit and the Sunnah gets in explicit by providing necessary components and items.

According to Islamic jurists, the Sunnah is second to fard. Fard means something is obligatory and it must be done; to neglect it without any excuse is a sin. The Sunnah is divided into confirmed (Sunnah muakkadah) and optional (Sunnah ghair muakkadah).

A hadith consists of two aspects: the text of the report (matn) containing the actual narrative; and the chain of narrators (isnad, or sanad), which documents the route by which the report has been transmitted.

Hadith are generally categorized as sahh (sound, authentic), da’f (weak), or mawd’ (fabricated). Other classifications used also include: hasan (good), which refers to an otherwise sahh report suffering from minor deficiency, or a weak report strengthened due to numerous other corroborating reports; and munkar (ignored) which is a report that is rejected due to the presence of a solitary and generally unreliable transmitter. Both sahh and hasan reports are considered acceptable for usage in Islamic legal discourse. Classifications of hadith may also be based upon the scale of transmission. Reports that pass through many reliable transmitters at each point in the isnad up until their collection and transcription are known as mutawtir.

Muslims who accept hadith believe that trusted hadith are in most cases the words of Muhammad and not the word of God. Hadith Qudsi forms a partial exception; these (few) hadith are said to recount divine revelations given to Muhammad but not included in the Qur’an. However, the words (as opposed to the substance) are believed to be Muhammad’s own, and not divine. Muslims also use the Ahadith to interpret parts of the Qur’an when verses are not clear or even when verses are clear to achieve an in-depth understanding.

Family Law – The legal rights of de facto couples versus married couples

Posted on by blogger

Since June 1999 the term De Facto has been used to describe the relationship between the two adults (over the age of 18 and including couples of the same sex) who:

1. live together; and
2. are not married; and
3. are not siblings, parent or child of the other party.

The Family Law Act defines De Facto relation as one where the couple is not married and are not related to each other and they are in a relationship and living together. A general requirement for De Facto couples is that they have been living together for a period of at least 2 years or they have a child together.

Other criterias to determine a De Facto relationship include:

1. how long the relationship has lasted;
2. whether the parties live together under one roof;
3. what the arrangements are between them in respect of their assets and finances;
4. whether they have come to own assets together since the commencement of their relationship, etc

Previously De Facto couples were not governed by the federal laws except when there were matters in respect of children. All other matters were governed by state and territory laws.

However, recent changes on 1 March 2009 allows De Facto couples to make applications to the Family Courts for orders in respect of division of property and maintenance for couples in a De Facto relationship. De Factor partners have a responsibility to provide financial assistance to their former De Facto partner if they are unable to maintain themselves and meet their own reasonable expenses from their income. The amount of support depends on the needs of the applicant partner and what the respondent partner can afford to pay.

The amount of non-financial contribution by either party will also be taken into account when considering the division of property.

An application for maintenance will have to be made within 2 years of the breakdown of the De Facto relationship.

Parties can choose not to be governed by the new laws by entering into an agreement which outline the distribution of property division and outline maintenance provisions if a relationship ends. These types of Agreements are called Binding Financial Agreements and can be entered into when both parties have obtained independent legal advice.
