Netcare Education, a division of Netcare, is regarded as one of South Africa's leading private education and training institutions of healthcare professionals, both in nursing and ancillary care and emergency medical services.
Netcare Education comprises two faculties, with campuses in Johannesburg and Pretoria in Gauteng, Durban North in KwaZulu-Natal, Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape and Cape Town in the Western Cape. The Faculty of Nursing and Ancillary Healthcare (FNAH) provides formal education and training in the fields of nursing and ancillary disciplines, and the Faculty of Emergency and Critical Care (FECC) provides formal education and training in the field of emergency and critical care as well as first aid training for members of the public.
2 campuses in Gauteng & KwaZulu-Natal
5 campuses in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape & Western Cape
Established 27 years ago, Netcare Education has built up a solid reputation for equipping students with the academic, clinical, practical and personal skills required for a professional career in healthcare.
Over 3 500 students registered with the FNAH on various nursing programmes in 2015 and 475 registered with the FECC on various emergency services programmes. On average, 1 500 students graduate annually in the various programmes.
Netcare Education strives to be the education, training and development provider of choice for the healthcare industry.
Netcare Education believes in the constitutional assertion that all people have the right to quality education and healthcare.
As such, our core objective is to ensure that our students will be capable and skilled healthcare providers who are able to proudly offer the best evidence based practice and care to their patients. In doing so, they will contribute to the strengthening of the South African economy, democracy and social fabric.
We will achieve this by offering outstanding industry-relevant training, education and development solutions.
We espouse the following principles:
We develop our curricula and conduct our programmes in such a way as to produce independent thinkers, researchers and healthcare providers who will excel in their chosen field of professionalism, and become the leaders of tomorrow's healthcare industry. We strive to be recognised as the healthcare industry education, training and development provider of choice.
Netcare Education's Faculty of Nursing and Ancillary Healthcare (FNAH) is dedicated to developing the clinical knowledge and practical skills of nursing students, nursing practitioners and other healthcare professionals.
This is achieved through combining theory with experiential learning in hospitals, thereby providing the best learning opportunity for developing knowledge, skills, attitude and values. Through collaboration, innovation and academic excellence in education, our students will be capable and skilled healthcare providers who are able to offer the best evidence-based practice and care to their patients.
The FNAH has been an accredited private nursing education institution since 1989. It is accredited with the South African Nursing Council (SANC) as a private nursing education institution and Netcare Hospital Management (Pty) Ltd, known as Netcare Education FNAH, has provisional registration with the Department of Higher Education and Training as a private higher education institution.
Netcare Education and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg have entered into an association agreement to provide programmes in nursing education in terms of the Nursing Act, No 33 of 2005 (as amended) the Higher Education Act No 101 of 1997 and other relevant health legislation, to students registered with Netcare Education for the programmes in Clinical Nursing Science (Regulation 212) as well as for advanced diplomas. The University of the Witwatersrand provides assistance with establishing and maintaining academic standards and is therefore represented at Netcare Education's senate and council meetings.
The Open Learning Group (OLG) provides logistical and administrative support to Netcare Education students. OLG furthermore provides logistics management services to Netcare Education including student and administrative support and marketing.
Selected programmes are aligned to the National Qualifications Framework. As such, they reflect the respective NQF level, number of credits, outcomes and assessment criteria. This ensures that the credits earned by successful candidates could count towards national SAQA-registered qualifications and might be considered for recognition of prior learning, thereby opening up opportunities for further learning.
All programmes are presented in English, and students are required to have English language competence at NQF level 4.

Beware of scam advertisements on certain websites, Facebook pages and emails advertising paid-for nursing learnership opportunities with Netcare. If you are in doubt and want to verify whether a training opportunity is legitimate, contact the Netcare Human Resources Shared Services Centre on 086 022 5547.
It has come to the attention of the South African Nursing Council (SANC) that some learners had access to the examination question papers prior to the date on which they were due to write certain examinations. In these circumstances, the Council had no option but to take the decision to cancel the examinations and to reconvene the examinations at a later date in June.
Netcare Education would like to inform all applicants that nursing education in South Africa is in transition. The previous nursing qualifications are being phased out by the South African Nursing Council (SANC) and will be replaced by entirely new nursing qualifications. The transition involves a large scale change in the country concerning many different stakeholders.
As previously communicated Netcare Education would like to reiterate that nursing education in South Africa is in transition. The previous nursing qualifications are being phased out by the South African Nursing Council (SANC) and will be replaced by entirely new nursing qualifications.
As per previous communication notifications 1-4 to prospective applicants, the basic nursing programmes, otherwise known as legacy programmes, which were previously offered by private nursing education institutions ("PNEI"), are currently in the process of being phased out.
The Pupil Enrolled Nurse (Reg 2175) and Pupil Auxiliary Nurse (Reg 2176) programmes have been discontinued by the South African Nursing Council (SANC) after the June 2015 intake, in anticipation of new nursing qualification programmes which are estimated to commence in 2017/8.
Private nursing education institutions (PNEIs) such as Netcare Education's FNAH are therefore not permitted to accept new intakes for these legacy qualifications as we are in the process of accreditation for offering the new nursing qualifications, namely the Higher Certificate in Nursing and the Diploma in Nursing Programmes.
Please be assured that this is a critical focus area for Netcare Education and we will therefore do everything within our control to meet requirements as soon as possible. Once the relevant legislative requirements and processes have all been met and finalised, Netcare Education FNAH will then be in a position to open applications for the relevant new nursing programmes as well as the academic development programmes.
At this stage it is difficult to give an estimation of possible application dates, due to the fact that this matter still lies with the relevant legislative bodies, over whose processes and timelines we have no control or influence. Netcare Education and Open Learning Group will make every reasonable effort, within the restrictions of the campus capacity, to accommodate all applications for the selection process for nursing programmes at the next available intakes.
As a result of the situation described above, all potential applications for nursing studies at Netcare Education has to remain closed until clarity about the accreditation and commencement of programmes can be obtained.
Please be assured that once applications open, we will send out a communication to all prospective applicants, informing you of the processes and dates. Please ensure that you provide us with your full name, email address as well as a current cell phone number.
Should you require additional discussions with us regarding the above, please do not hesitate to contact the campus manager or campus head at the Netcare Education campus nearest to you. You will find their contact details under the section, Contact us, on this site.
Intakes will be subject to campus capacity and the number of students registered for the programme. Note that not all post-basic programmes are offered at every campus. Contact the campus nearest to you for current intake details.
Registered nurses (RNs) and enrolled nurses (ENs) can further their careers by specialising in post-basic fields of healthcare by means of in-service certificate programmes or post-basic diploma programmes.
In-service certificate programmes provides the minimum skills for safe practise in a specialised unit. Post-basic diploma programmes are aimed at developing advanced intellectual and clinical competence in selected fields of interest, qualifying those who successfully complete a programme to work as a leader, consultant, educator or specialist practitioner in providing evidence-based care to patients, together with other team members, within the scope of practice.
Netcare Education's holistic and integrated approach to education and training combines theory with workplace based experiential learning in hospitals. Integrated training is provided in applied anatomy and physiology, disease entities, applied pharmacology, nursing diagnosis, and treatment of patients, with additional components covering research, administration, teaching and applied nursing dynamics.

Mouse Sculpture
We are proud to display a wonderful sculpture created in 2016 by Montpelier artist Ryan Mays, and generously commissioned and donated by Jay and Barbara White. The sculpture makes for a beautiful addition to the Main Street entrance of the library. Be sure to stop by and see it in person!
History of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library
A dramatic start
The saga of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library began in 1889, when Martin M. Kellogg, a New York City real estate magnate born in Barre, died of a heart attack, followed three months later by his widow, the former Fanny M. Hubbard, a Montpelier native. The couple had agreed their $300,000 estate should be given to the city of Montpelier to construct ornate entrance gates for the Green Mount Cemetery and to build a public library.
Bittermann Kitzmiller Room Friezes
The Library's second-floor fiction room houses three beautiful replicas of historical friezes: one from the Parthenon, and two from the cathedral in Florence.
This room was originally built as a lecture hall, and later housed the T.W. Wood Art Gallery from 1953-1985. The Wood Gallery bought the three friezes, which remained in the Library after the Gallery relocated to the Vermont College of Fine Arts campus.

The Molokai Leper Colony, located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, began in 1866 when the government of Hawaii forced anyone with the disease into exile on the island. At that time, there was no cure for leprosy, a chronic bacterial infection also known as Hansen's Disease.
The colony, also known as the community of Kalaupapa, was home to thousands of people with leprosy until 1969, when the government of Hawaii officially revoked its mandatory exile on patients with the disease. Many exiled patients chose to remain on the island after the forced quarantine was lifted, and many former patients remain there. As of 2015, the youngest resident is 73 years old, and authorities are currently considering opening the colony to tourists once the last inhabitant dies.

Join us on Saturday, June 5, 2010 for an Intimate Evening at the Jordan Vineyard & Winery, benefiting The Humane Society of the United States' Making History! Campaigns.
Making History! Campaigns
Join us for an evening at the Jordan Vineyard and Wineryand to support The Humane Society of the United States' Making History! Campaigns for dogs, farm animals, and seals.
Making History for Dogs:
Puppy mills are mass dog breeding operations that house dogs in appalling conditions to produce puppies for the pet trade. While their offspring are typically sold at eight weeks of age, breeding dogs spend their entire lives confined to small wire cages with little or no exercise or veterinary care and rarely become part of a family. Through our Making History strategy—a state ballot initiative in the largest puppy producing state, Missouri—we will force a systemic change in puppy mill standards and practices. A successful outcome will advance our goal to establish laws nationwide that ensure dogs used for breeding are raised in conditions that provide for their physical and mental wellbeing.
Making History for Farm Animals:
Sentient, complex creatures, animals raised for food are as capable of feeling pain and pleasure as dogs and cats, yet they are often treated as mere production units. Millions of animals are confined so intensively they can barely move their whole lives. They have almost no legal protections and their lives and deaths are filled with abuses that would likely result in criminal cruelty charges if the victims were dogs or cats. The passage of California's Prop 2 in 2008 launched our first Making History Campaign for Farm Animals. In 2010, we are taking Making History to a new level, with a similar ballot initiative in Ohio—where 27 million animals endure extreme confinement. A successful outcome will reduce the severe suffering of millions of farm animals, and create momentum for nationwide standards and practices.
Making History for Seals:
The global fight to end Canada's slaughter of baby seals is among the most iconic campaigns in the animal protection movement. Millions have worked for more than five decades to stop the hunt—a goal now in sight. The next 18 months offers a critical window of opportunity to achieve Canadian legislation to permanently end commercial sealing. Last year, through our Making History for Seals Campaign, HSUS convinced the 27 nations of the EU to fully ban trade in seal products. The impact of this ban was immediate. Prices for seal fur crashed, and more than 260,000 seals survived the slaughter as a result. This year through a more intensive economic and political strategy, we intend to end the hunt through a federal buyout of the commercial sealing industry.

To create involvement– Promotional paper cups engage consumers in such a way that conventional marketing can not. They stress the importance of your item and develop consistent exposure with the customers' continued use of the coffee cup for the duration of the event. The consistent use of top quality paper mugs will certainly produce brand name vibration with your customers as well as favorably influence your profits.
With various other types of advertising and marketing, you can stop working since your target audience has the alternative of just transforming their backs to your efforts. By preferring to market in-flight, you prevent this drawback since guests can't merely get off their seats and also leave. They need to remain seated, highly aware of what's going on around them. Visualize this– numerous passengers having nothing to check out besides the paper mug branded with your business. If you're like other person available, you will check out that paper mug yourself and also perhaps even do a little bit a research study to find out more about the company. And this is how you engage your future clients.
Matt coatings are a coffeehouse fave. The textured, practically rustic feel is very well matched to coffee residences as it does not jeopardize on high quality and provides an earthy feeling to the holder of the mug. Numerous printed coffee cup creates suit this wonderful, rugged feeling.
As well as across The U.S.A. the pattern for woody insides as well as rustic furnishings fits lots of tiny pastry shops and also coffee shops that naturally want to integrate matching lumber-like finishes right into their layouts.
This is nearly synonymous with the logo. You can not have a design representing your brand name without adding an expression related to your business and that tells a little bit much more concerning you on the design. Lots of could neglect the logo but if you make the catch phrase tacky and also fun, it will certainly most definitely.
Did you recognize that about 90% of the info a human being transmits to their mind is aesthetic? This is a fact, and not unusual, as humans are normally aesthetic beings. This is partially why pictures are the first point individuals see. One more factor is since the possibilities of customers purchasing something are higher if they see as well as rely on it. It's thus no surprise that photos are so important.
Custom printing paper cups can take your brand to your client's hand, and also trigger your client relationship. Besides, no matter if you go to a beauty parlor, coffee shop, workplace, institution, convenience store or the garage, there's always a need to serve warm or cool beverages to your clients. This is why published paper cups completely complement a firm's marketing project. Besides, your consumers can actually take residence your published cup!
An effective method of marketing your product is about helping your customers first and developing two-way conversations to deal with underlying demands or issues. Prior to you could promote a services or product, you should develop useful content first that supplies genuine worth for your possible target market.
Now if you are a majorly company that everybody is aware of, if you are a family name then there is possibly no factor of having this set up together with the logo design. Nevertheless, if you are simply beginning as well as are planning to put yourself available, after that there is absolutely the need to state plainly who you are. The logo could not pass the message plainly. And to avoid the customers having strange minute where they have no idea what firm it is they need to say thanks to for the excellent custom-made paper cups, be sure to add the name of your firm in your custom-made froyo cup style.
Individuals appreciate drinking coffee due to the fact that it makes them feel good. The antioxidants as well as the effects of high levels of caffeine stimulate the pleasure facilities of the mind. Drinking coffee gives individuals a possibility to forget their stress and anxiety and just enjoy the taste and scent of an excellent drink. After a lengthy evening's sleep, it's a best method to start the day.
Excellent style, and also I suggest style that will stand the test of time, takes some time as well as initiative to develop. The initial point all developers worth their salt will do is try to find out more about the clients' business. Where are you located, what will you be selling, that is your main group, that is your competitors, what fields of social media sites do you plan to utilize, will this ever be published, etc? These are all important questions I would ask, and also when I figured that out, I would certainly start looking for points that connect your business to the globe. Let's state, a customer approached me as well as wanted an identity based around breakfast. I have a pal who belongs to a breakfast club, as well as brunch dining establishments are exceptionally preferred, specifically with women, so an upscale, brunch dining establishment would most likely be a fantastic business!

Purebred rabbit hunting dogs, most commonly beagles, can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $2,000 on average. Known for its friendly personality, size and love of the hunt, the beagle is the most recognized rabbit hunting dog.
With their roots dating as far back as the 14th century in England, beagles became a common pet for hunting rabbits. Its small size, dense coat and nose allow them to find rabbits in heavy brush where rabbits hide. The American beagle generally weighs between 18 and 30 pounds and stands about 13 to 15 inches tall. Its U.S. roots date back to the 16th century.

Text Dating Etiquette – Are You Doing It Right?
Yes, texting is a fun way of getting to know someone. People, who are shy to initiate a conversation in person, often feel more comfortable talking through texts. If you have just started seeing someone, texting would help you bond with him/her. However, despite the fun factor, the world of text dating can be a bit tricky. You need to know what to say, and how to say it. If you haven't yet mastered the art of texting, check out the following tips that are sure to give you an upper-hand:
Don't be the one to initiate:
This one is for the ladies, and this is one rule that you must follow at least in the beginning of your budding romance. Guys may find it extremely unfair, but as far as the norm goes, they are the one who should take the first step. Women are coy creatures and they like their men to be brave! Besides, every woman loves a little attention, and they love the men who give it to them! Also, remember when a guy is genuinely interested, he will make the effort to text you.
Time your responses:
When you do receive a text from the man/woman of your dreams, you must be excited to reply back even before reading the entire message! But that is a wrong move for both men and women. You should wait a few minutes before you reply. Replying too fast may make you seem a bit desperate, and that is the impression that you must keep the other person from having about you! On the other hand, if you reply too late, trying to act cool, the other person may feel you are too disinterested to text them back! You need to find a middle ground when timing your responses.
Pay attention to grammar:
There is nothing more off-putting than bad grammar! If you are dating a person who is very proper in their communication skills, it is time you brush off your knowledge of grammar. We all feel the urge to use a lot of abbreviations when texting, but saying a good old-fashioned "See you tomorrow" is much better than saying "C U 2morw"! Punctuation is another major factor. They invented the comma, full stop and exclamation marks for a reason!
So these are some of the rule of thumbs of how to text chat when dating someone. Follow these etiquettes and you will surely have a fun time!

In 2010 my daughter was studying to be a nurse practitioner and needed a desk for school, so I worked up a simple design that could be portable (well, on wheels anyway) and serve as a homework station with a couple of drawers. Then she wanted a sliding puzzle tray, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how she found time to do puzzles while going to Vanderbilt full time. But being a good dad, I did it. I'm convinced that the desk helped her to graduate with a 3.4 grade average..
The 24' x 36" top is attached to the sides with biscuits and small angle brackets that are visible in the side view. the sides fit into a groove in the feet and the puzzle tray has an X patterned support glued beneath it for rigidity.
I put a golden oak finish on and it didn't look too bad. It's made of birch plywood.

The Imamat
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)-
Doctrine of the Imamate
Among Shi'a the term "Imam" traditionally has been used only for Ali and his eleven descendants. We (Shi'a) believe that the Imamate is one of the fundamentals of Islam (usul ad-din), and that man's faith can never be complete without belief in it.
It is wrong to imitate our fathers, family or teachers in this matter, even if we respect them, for it is just as necessary rationally to consider the Imamate as it is to consider tawhid (Unity of Allah) and nubuwwah (Prophethood). If a man does not believe in it, and supposes that it is not a fundamental of Islam, he should, nevertheless, examine the concept of the Imamate, if only to absolve himself of responsibility in this matter. The reason for this consideration is that, since we do not receive commands concerning our religious duties directly from Allah, we must refer in this matter to someone in whom we can trust, by following whom we may be sure that we will not be held responsible by Allah for having committed errors. According to our belief, the members of the Household of the Prophet fulfill such requirements.
We believe that, just as it is necessary for Allah to send someone as a prophet, so it is also necessary for Him to appoint an Imam. It is necessary that at all times there should be an Imam to represent the prophet, and that he should perform the duties of the prophet, such as guiding the people, and showing them the way of goodness and prosperity in this world and the next. He ought also to hold the highest position as a public authority in all aspects of people's lives, so that he may cause Justice to increase among them and eliminate enmity and oppression from between them. The Imamate is therefore a continuation of the prophethood, and the reasoning which proves the former's necessity is the same as that which proves the latter's.
It is for this reason that we may say that the appointment of someone as Imam can only be accomplished by the Will of Allah through the Prophet or through the previous Imam. People cannot choose someone as an Imam because they have no authority to do so, and, should they seek to depose him: "He who dies without knowing the Imam of his time, it is as if he dies in jahiliyyyah (the time of ignorance)". It will be seen from the above that it is impossible for there to be a time without an Imam appointed by Allah, and that it makes no difference if human beings deny him or not, help him or not, obey him or not, or if he is absent from people's sight. Just as the Prophet was absent from people in the cave and in the mountain pass, so is it possible for the Imam to be absent. It also makes no difference, logically, if the absence is long or short.
Allah has said: And there is a guide for every people. (13;7)
And: And there is not a people but a warner has gone among them. (35;24)
Doctrine of the Infallibility of the Imam
We believe that, like the prophet, an Imam must be infallible, that is to say incapable of making errors or doing wrong, either inwardly or outwardly, from his birth to his death, either intentionally or unintentionally, because the Imams are the preservers of Islam and it is under their protection. Their position in regard to Islam is the same as the Prophet's, and the reasoning which necessitates their infallibility is the same as that which necessitates the Prophet's infallibility, and there is no difference between them in these matters.
An Arabic verse says:
"For Allah it is not impossible:
to unite all the world in one person."
Doctrine of Obedience to the Imams
We believe that the Imams have authority, and that Allah has ordered people to obey them. They are witnesses for mankind, doors opening the way of Allah, guides to Him, guardians of His knowledge, interpreters of His revelation, pillars of His Unity, and custodians of His Wisdom. They are the cause of peace among the inhabitants of the earth, just as the stars are for the heavens. And so the prophet said:
My household is like the ark of Nuh; whosoever embarks upon it will be saved, and whosoever turns away from it will be drowned.
In accordance with the Qur'an, the Imams are: Honoured servants . They do not precede Him in speech and (only) according to His commandment do they act. (21;26-27)
those whom he has kept away from uncleanness and cleansed with a thorough cleansing.
We believe that their orders and prohibitions are Allah's orders and prohibitions, that obedience and disobedience to them, friendship or enmity towards them, are all the same as if towards Allah. It is a sin to deny them, for everyone who denies them in fact denies the Messenger, and that is the same as denying Allah.
It is incumbent on all people to submit themselves to the Imams, to follow their commandments and to obey their sayings. So we believe that all commandments must be learned from their pure teachings, and that if one refers to another person concerning a commandment of the din, one will not be cleared of responsibility towards Allah and will not be sure that he has correctly performed his duty. Like the ark of Nuh, everyone who goes on board is saved, but those who remain behind are drowned in the stormy sea of doubt, wandering, pretension and strife. We do not seek at this time to prove that they were the legal khulqfa' and that they possessed Divine authority, because this is not the place to do so, and discussing this question cannot bring back times gone by, nor restore things to their rightful owners. We only mean to show that we are obliged to refer to them to obtain the Divine commandments and to find out what the prophet truly said.
The path of those who were not educated by the Imams, or whose minds are not enlightened by knowledge of the Imams is in deviation from the straight path of Islam, and such a person will never be sure that he is free from the obligations and necessary duties that were revealed by Allah; for, granted that there are differences in opinion between Muslim groups as regards the commandments of the din, and that there is no hope that they will agree with each other in their opinions, one cannot just follow them blindly. It is necessary to consider each one until one gains positive assurance of the truth from one of them and is sure that he is doing what Allah commanded him to do. For if one is under an obligation, one must clear oneself of that obligation with certainty through rational means.
Clear reasoning thus obliges one to refer to the Household of the Prophet. We must refer to them concerning Islamic doctrine and legislation as they were revealed to the Prophet. The Prophet said:
I leave two great and precious things among you: the Book of Allah and my Household. If you keep hold of both of them, you will never go astray after me. One of them is greater than the other.
The Book of Allah is like a rope hanging from heaven to earth, and the other is my Family and Household. Remember, these two will never be separated from each other until they encounter me at Kawthar (in paradise).
This tradition is narrated by Sunni and Shi'a traditionalists alike. If you consider it carefully, you will be amazed and convinced by its good sense and by its excellent expression, because at first it says "if you keep hold of both of them, you will never go astray after me". What the Prophet left among us were two worthy things; together he considered them to be one, and he did not say that one need only hold on to one of them, but that one should hold on to both of them so as not to be misled. He explained the reason in the next phrase very clearly.
"these two will never be separated from each other until they encounter me at Kawthar". So, if a man separates them and takes hold of only one of them, he will never be rightly guided. So they are the ship of Nuh, and peace for the inhabitants of the earth. All those who do not take refuge with them will be drowned in the depths of perdition.
It is not correct to say that the meaning of this tradition is that it is necessary merely to love the Household of the Prophet, without following and obeying them; no-one can apply this interpretation unless he be a fanatic or totally ignorant, because this is an incorrect interpretation of the Arabic sentence.
Our Belief in the Imams
We do not exaggerate about the Imams as some sects have done:
A grievous word it is that comes out of their mouths. (18;5)
but we believe that they are human beings like ourselves, i.e. that if they do good they are rewarded and if they commit sin they are punished. Indeed, they are honoured servants and Allah has given them great dignity and authority, for they have the highest perfections, namely knowledge, goodness, bravery, generosity, chastity and every virtue and worthy quality. Nobody can equal them as far as morality is concerned. Thus, they deserve to be Imams; guides and authorities after the Prophet in those matters in which people require help: religious commandments (ahkam), judgement (hukm), legislation (tashri'), and the commentary (tafsir) and interpretation (ta'wil) of the Qur'an.
Imam Ja'far Sadiq said: Whatsoever is reported about us, if it is possible for one of mankind and you do not understand or comprehend it, do not deny it, but you can attribute it to us. However, if it is impossible for anyone of mankind, then deny it, and do not attribute it to us.
The Imamate must be from Allah
We believe that the Imamate, like the Prophethood, must be an appointment from Allah, through His Messenger, or an appointed Imam. From this point of view, the Imamate is the same as the Prophet hood.
It is wrong for people to dispute against him whom Allah has sent as a guide and leader for all people, for they cannot elect him. One who is able to bear the responsibilities of the Imam of the people and the guide of mankind can only be recognised and appointed by Allah. We believe that the Prophet declared who was to come after him (his khalifah), and that he appointed his cousin 'Ali ibn Abi Talib as the Commander of the Faithful (Amir al-mu'minin), guardian Of the revelation and Imam for the people on several occasions. The Prophet obliged everyone to take an oath to agree to 'Ali's succession on the day of Ghadir,[1] and he said at that time:
O faithful! for whomsoever I am his master (mawla) and the authority whom he obeys, 'Ali will be his master. O Allah! be friendly towards the friends of 'Ali; help those who help him, and hinder those who hinder him, and may the Truth always be with him.
The first place in which the Prophet declared the Imamate was when he had gathered his close relatives and kinsfolk and said to them: He ('Ali) is my brother, inheritor (wasi) and vicegerent (khalifah).
You must listen to him and obey him.
At the time the Prophet said this, 'Ali had not yet come of age.
The Prophet spoke many times on this matter:
O 'Ali! your place in relation to me is the same as that of Harun in relation to Musa; except that there will be no prophet after me. Other traditions indicate that 'Ali had guardianship over the people, as do the verses in the Qur'an such as:
Your friend is only Allah and His Messenger, and the believers who perform the prayer and pay the alms while they do ruku'. (5;55)
The last part of this verse was revealed about 'Ali who gave his ring to a beggar while doing ruku' in prayer. Naturally we are not able, in a book such as this, to q uote all such traditions and verses, and to consider them.
Imam 'Ali publicly declared the Imamate of Hasan and Husayn, and the latter declared the Imamate of his son 'Ali Zayn al-'Abidin, and similarly each Imam was appointed by the previous one.

A jury convicted hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam Wednesday on five counts of conspiracy and nine counts of securities fraud.
In October 2009, federal prosecutors and the SEC charged Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group, with insider trading in the stocks of several companies, including Advanced Micro Devices, Google, and Akamai. Prosecutors say he earned about $20 million in the process. Six others were also charged in the scheme.
This wasn't your garden variety insider trading case. It involved an extensive, coordinated investigation by officials from both the FBI and the SEC, complete with government wiretaps. It suggests a level of aggression by law enforcement against insider traders not seen in decades.
Most insider trading cases are brought solely by the SEC without the muscle of the US Attorney's office and the FBI behind it. The SEC can be commended for its efforts in the Rajaratnam case, but it won't answer the question of whether or not the agency is still the toothless cougar many believe it to be.
"The SEC has always been a relatively small agency with a relatively small budget," Thomas Gorman, a securities attorney for Porter Wright Morris & Arthur and a former counsel in the SEC's enforcement division, told me. And this is the agency with a mandate to ferret out and enforce cases of insider trading (among other financial misdeeds), which Gorman says is "difficult to detect and even more difficult to prosecute."
(For more on insider trading and how members of Congress -- and their staff members -- are exempt from insider trading laws, CLICK HERE)
Direct evidence of insider trading, like the wiretapped conversations obtained against Rajaratnam, is extremely rare. As two SEC officials pointed out at a symposium some time ago, "there are no smoking guns or physical evidence that can be scientifically linked to a perpetrator."
"Unless the insider trader confesses his knowledge in some admissible form," they said, "evidence is almost entirely circumstantial."
Moreover, the SEC has just about 1,100 people responsible for ferreting out and enforcing violations among this country's more than 12,000 publicly traded companies, 10,000 investment advisers managing more than $38 trillion in assets, nearly 1,000 fund complexes, 6,000 broker-dealers with 172,000 branches, and the close to $44 trillion worth of trading conducted each year on America's stock and option exchanges.
Seems like an impossible task. In that case, why not just legalize insider trading?
Amazingly enough, there are some who endorse this very idea.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman said, "You want more insider trading, not less. You want to give the people most likely to have knowledge about deficiencies of the company an incentive to make the public aware of that."
Dean emeritus Henry Manne of the George Mason University School of Law and the author of Insider Trading and the Stock Market, said in a radio interview that insider trading "helps to move the price of a share to its 'correct level'" and trades made using privileged information provide an "actual reflection of what's going on" with a particular stock.
And Donald Boudreaux, of the Future of Freedom Foundation wrote, "Perhaps the greatest benefit of insider trading is that it causes equity prices to disclose all relevant information as quickly as possible."
Gorman disagrees.
"I don't believe it would be appropriate to legalize insider trading," hesaid . "Putting information into the marketplace improves price discovery, but that information should be made public all at once so it gets absorbed into a stock's price immediately, rather than in dribs and drabs."
Gorman argues that insider trading is unfair and causes dislocation in the markets. "If people perceive the market is an insider's game, they won't use those markets and then liquidity dries up," he explained.
Minyanville Professor Kevin Depew, who writes frequently on market psychology, sees the issue from a different angle.
"Making insider trading legal would have no discernable impact on the markets," he told me. "It's already considered an insider's game, so why would making insider trading unenforceable by legalizing it have any effect on investor psychology? Every day, there are countless trades being made using inside information as well as trades being made on the assumption that someone else has some sort of inside information. Insider trading is already, essentially, legal."
However, in the eyes of the SEC commissioners, insider trading is still very much illegal. It wasn't too long ago that SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro was on Capitol Hill reassuring law makers that the agency is being revitalized and is redoubling its efforts vis-a-vis preventing criminal activity.
But Democratic Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, who sat on the Senate Banking Committee, pointed out that the SEC requested only a 1% increase in its operating budget for the following fiscal year.
With such a small enforcement presence over such a vast market, Gorman believes the SEC uses high-profile cases to help deter smaller fraudsters, and that's not the right approach. "Effective enforcement is the key to rejuvenating enforcement," he noted. "Not big number, big headline enforcement."
And this brings us to why the SEC goes after big names like Mark Cuban, rather than the countless others engaged in activities far more harmful to the public at large.
"You get these enormous headlines -- Martha Stewart and ImClone and problems like that -- and you think, oh, boy, the securities policemen are really doing their job -- they're doing nothing," Henry Manne said. "They're making headlines. They're not making enforcement of that law, because it's really impossible to do."
With the SEC boasting a national enforcement department that's one-thirtieth the size of the NYPD, it's painfully clear that Manne makes a more-than-valid point.
In 2008, insider trading charges were brought by the SEC against Dallas entrepreneur Mark Cuban selling his 6.3% stake in Mamma.com after the company's CEO, Guy Faure, informed him that the Internet search firm was planning a private stock offering which would dilute Cuban's shares. Cuban promptly dumped his Mamma stock, avoiding losses of more than $750,000. The charges were later dismissed, prompting Cuban to respond by stating that the Commission is "infected by the misconduct of the staff of its enforcement division."
Of course, if insider trading were ever to be legalized, there are still plenty of simple ways to break federal laws -- just ask the Cato Institute's Gene Healy.
He reminds us that it's a federal crime punishable by up to a year in jail to deal in the interstate transport of unlicensed dentures. Pretending to be a member of the 4-H Club when you're not will get you six months. So will misappropriating the character "Woodsy Owl" or his associated slogan "Give a hoot, don't pollute." It's also a federal crime to disrupt a rodeo.
Note to Raj Rajaratnam -- while you're under house arrest, awaiting sentencing, don't ship any false teeth to California. You're in enough trouble as it is.

Field Trip: A Look Inside West Elm's New Mill Valley Store
The opening of a new West Elm in Mill Valley, outside of San Francisco, is a welcome addition to the area, and the launch party showcased the store's holiday décor, along with a few new trends.
Natural history seemed to be a popular motif, with images of butterfly wings popping up on pillows, Christmas trees covered in colorful birds, curio style cloches covering displays, and pillars disguised as birch trees with cascading paper moths.
Another trend that was on display was the shift toward the handmade aesthetic. Dishes and glassware take on slightly more organic forms, and small details like handwritten fonts abounded, giving items a slightly more personal feel.

Regime Change Iran reports on Iranian President Ahmadinejad's statements at the recent "World Without Zionism" conference, at which he vowed to "wipe Israel off the map". Turns out that his threats regarding Israel, appalling as they were, amounted to just warming up the crowd:
For some reason the world media has largely ignored his statements against the USA. In his speech he said:
We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance [i.e. the West] and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years. ...
The issue of this [World without Zionism] conference is very valuable. In this very grave war, many people are trying to scatter grains of desperation and hopelessness regarding the struggle between the Islamic world and the front of the infidels ...
Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism? But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved...
So how would the Iranian regime achieve this?
You only need to listen to Ahmadinejad's chief strategic guru Hassan Abbassi, for the answer. Abbassi is the architect of the so-called "war preparation plan" currently under way in Iran. This is the same Hassan Abbassi who said:
"We have a strategy drawn up for the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization... we must make use of everything we have at hand to strike at this front by means of our suicide operations or by means of our missiles. There are 29 sensitive sites in the U.S. and in the West. We have already spied on these sites and we know how we are going to attack them."
Abbasi believes that when President Bush says that no option is off the table he is only playing chicken. According to respected Iranian analyst, Amir Taheri, Abbassi has said:
"The Americans are not ready to send a million men (to defeat the Islamic Republic)," Abbasi said. "Even economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic will fail thanks to opposition from the Western public opinion and the refusal of most countries to implement (them)..."
But it is not only the US that Abbasi wants to take on and humiliate. He has described Britain as "the mother of all evils". In his lecture he claimed that the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and the Gulf states were all "children of the same mother: the British Empire." As for France and Germany, they are "countries in terminal decline", according to Abbasi.
"Once we have defeated the Anglo-Saxons the rest will run for cover," he told his audience.
Why do you suppose these statements got zero play in the recent press cycle? Because people might actually get the idea that Iran represents a clear and present danger, not just to Israel and the Jews but to the entire liberal West. This would run against the fashionable view that the US and Israel are at the root of most of the resentment of the Muslim world, rather than an ideology that embodies hatred of Western societies and liberal values.
Instead, we are being told day in and day out that confronting this ideology is the problem, not the ideology itself. We are being told that in Iraq, US and coalition soldiers are dying needlessly in a war that was sold to us on false pretenses by a White House cabal of neocons. We are being convinced that our presence in Iraq is making things worse, not better, and that every car bombing, IED or attack on Iraqi civilians is occurring because of the presence of our soliders. In short, we are losing the information war:
As everybody from the President to the Lance Corporals say, 'when a terrorist lights a fire cracker, its news, but when we take down a terrorist cell, no one hears about it.'
This new battlespace is not fought on a fixed terrain. In war, it is often said that terrain and technology are neutral, i.e., night sights don't know who is wearing them, the ground doesn't care who is walking on it and a concrete wall will stop rounds from an AK-47 or an M-4.
The battlespace, the terrain of an information war, is not neutral, it takes sides. In the same way it would be impossible for Marines to win a firefight if the ground they were standing on convulsed or shifted from hard dirt to quicksand, so to is it becoming impossible for them to win a battle in the information war, for the terrain of an information war is not newsprint or radio waves, but the thoughts, opinions and prejudices of the reporters and editors.
Many of the reporters and editors are predisposed to oppose the American military. Some just dislike the military and military action, others, due to their personal political view of the President, use the war as a tool to criticize the President...
The Marines are fighting in a battle space that shifts on them, but the insurgents do not suffer that disadvantage.
It is estimated by some officers and analysts, that up to 50% of the Iraqi 'stringers' for news agencies are actually members or fellow travelers of the insurgency. It is very common for the insurgent stringers to mislead the major news organizations and for the reporters to believe them because it fits their preconceived story line and the stringers will line up 'sources' for the story. In a country where first run movies are available on bootleg DVD before the first box-office gross is tabulated, 'sources' are murky at best.
The military media relations officers will field questions from reporters based on the disinformation and offer them a flight to the area to see for themselves, but rarely do the reporters take up the offer.
The information war is not just battled in the media consumed by Americans, but in the Iraqi media and information networks.
If the Iraqi's view the insurgency as being strong, they are less likely to help the coalition. If the insurgency is viewed as winning, it is easier for the terrorists to recruit impressionable young men.
The insurgency has mastered the favorable battle space and is using it to every advantage through an extremely sophisticated disinformation network.
But of course, the above can't have any bearing on Iran. After all, Iran is a separate country, run by Shi'ite Muslims, whereas in Iraq the insurgents who are murdering civilians and government officials to prevent the establishment of a democratic government in Iraq are primarily Sunni Muslims, many of whom are secular Ba'athists who lost power when Saddam was deposed. They were and are mortal enemies. So there's no real common thread, right?
Can it be possible that we're really that deep in denial? Sadly, yes.

I might go back a little in time to show some of the "making of" of the wedding goodies…. but for now we can just talk about one thing- that garland!
I have been semi-obsessed with sewing paper goods (as evident in the thank you cards we just sent out last week!).
In my pillaging of craft stores in early months of 2010, I came to own a GIANT hole punch. I think it's a 2′ diameter punch. It was used primarily for the center of the table numbers, but then since I had it, and I had fabulous paper (also from the table numbers)- I punched, and punched with reckless abandon.
I took the punched colored paper in batches of 12-25… and then sewed them together using a contrasting thread to create a simple, yet colorful, garland. The garland was used on each of the guest tables and the sweets table.
Since the wedding, my handiwork has been in a clump in the garage. Yesterday it dawned on me that it could be put to another use!

Catch a sneak preview of renovated Castle Tea Room
What would Libby think? Libuse (Libby) Kriz-Fiorito called The Castle Tea Room home for almost 60 years. The foundation she established before her death in 2004 is responsible for the extensive renovations recently completed to the Lawrence landmark, located at 1307 Mass., the subject of this week's "Home and Away."
Kriz-Fiorito operated The Castle as a venue for weddings, events and children's parties.
Through the foundation, she hoped to ensure the castle's posterity and purpose.
"Our goal was to carry out Libby's directives, to rehabilitate The Castle Tea Room to serve the public for at least the next 100 years," says Craig Patterson, board member of the Libuse Kriz-Fiorito Historical Foundation.
The 19th-century limestone mansion, built in 1894 by famed architect John Haskell, features 15 rooms, each finished in a different, remarkably preserved wood and now enhanced by ambient lighting, elaborate window treatments, period furniture and William Morris-inspired wallcoverings.
State-of-the-art features including energy-efficient systems, business technology and universal design are inherent to the improvements, as are exterior modifications that increase the functionality for outdoor events.
"Home and Away" premieres at 6:30 p.m. today on Sunflower Broadband Channel 6. Replays are 9:30 p.m. Monday; 9 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tuesday; 9:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday; 10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 10:30 a.m. Friday; 10 a.m. Saturday; and 9 p.m. Sunday.

Codemasters has announced that a demo of the highly-anticipated Colin McRae: DiRT - featuring three different events and tracks - will be kicking up dust on Xbox Live Marketplace on May 24 and will also be available to download for PC the same day.
The demo will feature a Crossover challenge in which players must compete against driving legend Colin McRae, in a race around the Averlsbarhring in Germany. Both drivers will be buckled in behind the wheel of a Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec C, with McRae's ride adorned with his 2006 Summer X-Games No Fear livery.
The second race included in the demo is a fierce C.O.R.R. (Championship Off-Road Racing) competing, battling against nine other drivers who are all bombing around Michigan's Bark Rider Off Road Raceway in V8 650hp.
Lastly, Xbox 360 owners can test their mettle on one of the game's hill climb events, steering Mitsubishi Evo IX up Arizona's Windy Point. If you're playing on PC, however, you can take on up to 100 other players (not simultaneously unfortunately) to get the best time on the Sardinian rally stage at Mounte di li Conchi.
Colin McRae: DIRT is available on Xbox 360 and PC on June 16, with a PlayStation 3 version to follow shortly after. To download the PC demo when it's released, just head to the official website.

The Dakar
Motor racing in the Atacama Desert!
After the craziness of New Year, I have been road tripping through Chile for almost two weeks now this is basically what I have been up to:
2nd Jan – set off for the Chilean coast, Vina del Mar (3 nights). Ate lots of seafood empanadas and visited Valpariso the twin city to Vina, a quaint little run down city with lots of coloured houses.
5th – Said goodbye to Ricardo and Jen, Sophia and I set off for the North for 3 nights in La Serena. Visited the Punta Chorus National Park saw Dolphins, Sea lions, Seals and Penguins!
8th – Drove to Bahia Ingesa 3 nights camping on the beach......
Bahia is a small tourist town on the Northern Chilean coast popular for surfers and my absolute favourite place in Chile so far. Sophia had kindly arranged for us to camp in front of her friend's house, on a beautiful sandy beach less than 10 meters from the sea. It was quite simply spectacular! I love camping anyway but there is something quite special about camping on a white sandy beach and waking up to the sound of waves lapping the shore in the morning. Another thing quite special about this place that I have never observed before it is a place where the desert and the sea meet. The Atacama Desert is the driest desert in the world and starts from La Serena (N.Chilean coast ~5 hours north of Santiago) and stretches all the way north into Peru. It is quite strange for me that one minute you can be sunbathing on a beautiful beach and a five minute drive inland and you reach rolling desert hills – amazing. One of my favourite things about travelling is the surprises you get from being in the right place at the right time. After arriving in Bahia we learnt that the Dakar was taking place in the desert 20 km from Bahia and we were invited to go along with a group of Sophia's friends. I am not familiar with Motor racing but in the racing world apparently it is a big deal. It is named the Dakar because it previously took place in Dakar in Africa but they are unable to host it in the Sahara anymore and so last year it was moved to Chile and is set to stay here. It is basically a motor race through the desert for motorcycles, cars and small trucks. However the interesting thing about the race is that there is no set route, they are given certain marker points and they have to use their GPS systems to find the best way through the desert. Now here is the fun part, the spectators are not given any precise information about the location of the race so if you want to observe it it's a bit of a guessing game. Not being a fan of motor racing I wasn't sure quite what to expect but was more than happy to go along for the ride and boy was it a ride to remember. We set off early on the morning of the 10th in Sophia's truck. Unfortunately however there was some confusion and we realised that the truck was not actually four wheel drive and so we wouldn't actually be able to drive it into the desert. There was a bit of a panic but we got lucky and managed to hitch a ride with a fearless Chilean who had a four wheel drive and two spare seats in the back. It seems no GPS system for a Chilean is required. I'm not quite sure how but it seems that they have some internal radar they all know exactly where to go to get to the best spot to observe the passing vehicles. It was all rather tense, dramatic and exciting. To try to paint a picture you have scorching desert, blue sky, hundreds of trucks doted all over the desert, people on motorbikes and quad bikes, people camped out with tents, BBQ's going, music blasting out from cars – oh and as you can imagine the odd rescue mission or two. People tend to get a little overexcited and it's not uncommon for some trucks to roll. We saw one of these rescue missions taking place – I don't need to describe it the picture says it all but everyone got out safely and they managed to get the truck upright eventually!
As we were racing over sand dunes at what felt like more than 100km/hr it really was quite terrifying, thrilling and comical all at the same time. The drama was further intensified by a running commentary of the race being blasted from the car stereo, accompanied by music that sounded like it would be appropriate in a Star Wars film or a Sony Playstation game. While all this was taking place I couldn't help but feel like I was in a real life version of Mario Karts hence the comical part.
Even stranger was the fact in the middle of the desert we managed to run into the people that had invited us along. There were about 5 cars or so full of people we had met the previous night that had all gone separately to the race and turned up at the same spot at the same time within about 15 mins or so of each other, strange. After about 5 mins of being there the promotional team for the race arrived so we realised we had picked the correct spot to observe the race and the wait began. It was only about half an hour until the first motorbike sped past and then the party began. Out came the beers, the picnic and the factor 50 sunblock. The thing about being in the desert is that everything is so huge and you feel so small. It was really quite comical to see vehicles going past in the distance that looked like toy cars. As I have previously written the Chileans are really so very welcoming but also have a great sense of adventure. It was altogether a fantastic day and I can't quite believe how lucky we were to be in the right place at the right time and to know the correct people – what an experience!
