SUBWAY® RESTAURANTS AND LIONSGATE TEAM UP FOR THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE
Companies Will Support Feeding America as Part of Collaboration
Milford, CT and Santa Monica, CA (July 8, 2013) – SUBWAY® restaurants, the world's largest restaurant chain, and Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, today announced that SUBWAY® will be the exclusive restaurant promotional destination for the film "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," the highly anticipated second installment of the global blockbuster "The Hunger Games" film franchise. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" will open in theaters worldwide on November 22. SUBWAY® and Lionsgate will utilize their promotion to support Feeding America, a non-profit organization consisting of more than 200 food banks nationwide.
SUBWAY® restaurants in the U.S. and Canada will be fired up in anticipation of the film's release, with a number of promotional assets planned for in-store, social, online, and broadcast. A special product line will be featured with thematic ties to the film, along with specially marked packaging with codes encouraging customers to engage online for their chance to win prizes. SUBWAY® customers can also pose with their favorite character's standees in the restaurants and are invited to share photos on social media for additional chances to win.
"There's nothing hotter than 'The Hunger Games' franchise," said Michelle Cordial, Director of
Marketing Development for SUBWAY® restaurants. "Being able to deliver exclusive 'Catching Fire' experiences to our Subway fans is something that Hunger Games enthusiasts can't find anywhere else."
"With SUBWAY joining as a promotional partner for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' Lionsgate has found new ways to reach a larger audience of fans of the film franchise," said Paula Kupfer, Vice President of Promotions and Consumer Products for Lionsgate. "Beyond providing fans with unique film experiences, what makes this promotion truly special to the studio is our ability to work with SUBWAY to support Feeding America and help provide to those in need."
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.

Stair Climbers for me is one of the most confusing names of cardio machines because in a store you can find that Stair Climbers can be called as Vertical Climber, Stepper, Twister Stepper, Climbing Stepper, Stepmill or even Elliptical Trainer and some other types of running machines. Surprisingly, Hand Trucks also can be called as Stair Climber, but it's not related to fitness at all. As you may notice from its name, Stair Climbers are a kind of cardio machine which works similar to climbing up the stairs. Unlike Stepmills where they have real stairs and it's exactly the same as climbing up the stairs, StairClimbers have two pedals that move independently. As any other stair workout, it develops your glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, abs and calves muscles.
I've included in the list below all kind of running machines that can be considered as Stair Climbers to avoid the cases when people can't find the things they came here for. As always, all items in the list have at least 10 reviews and 4-5 stars.


This is part 2 of a 6-Part Series: 'Excelling in a VUCA Environment Requires a Learning Mindset'. Click here for part 1, part 3, part 4, part 5 and part 6.
This article illustrates what VUCA looks like from the CEO's perspective across a variety of industries, highlighting specific disruptors—technology, competitors and market forces—that are impacting their companies. We found these environmental forces to be similar to what the Army experienced after the Cold War. Emerging global threats from new competitor nations, as well as non-state actors (terrorist groups) and dynamic market forces (e.g., changing geopolitical alliances and shifting national budget priorities), led the Army leadership to think differently about national security. Advances in digital technology played an important role in allowing the Army to respond to these new threats.
"We are an immediate consumption business," he says. "We sell products that are immediately consumable, and the e-commerce businesses are starting to encroach on our space. They are in fact beginning to redefine convenience as we have traditionally known it. The company that epitomizes this is Amazon. Once an e-commerce book company, they now disrupt businesses across many channels. For instance, Amazon's Prime business will deliver anything you want within 2 hours. In time, it will be much faster. That's why we have been so aggressive in ramping up our digital initiatives at 7-Eleven. We're working to move our company toward being more of a technology company that works in coordination with our traditional convenience stores. Customers can now order products from 7-Eleven that are picked up by Post Mates or some of our other partners, and then delivered to the customer within 30 minutes.
Bob Weidner, President and CEO of the Metals Services Center Institute (MSCI), the trade group representing the industrial metals supply chain in North America, shared a story of how adaptive manufacturing and 3-D printing might disrupt the traditional industrial metals manufacturing process in the industry. This disruption illustrates dramatic changes in the way industrial metals manufacturing firms think about business going forward.
A relatively new CEO to this particular service center was attending one of his first MSCI conferences. And on that program, we actually had a speaker talking about additive manufacturing and 3-D printing. Again, that would not necessarily be the content at a typical trade association's programming, but you know, I believe we have delegates in a ballroom for a finite period of time. Bringing new ideas is part of our value add – because we can see the world, by definition, through a very broad lens. We are looking at the world through a producer's lens. Through a service center's lens. We are looking at it through a lens of carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. And, again, our value is to identify on the horizon things that are going to be fundamentally changing their businesses.
The CEO went back to his company, pulled together his senior leaders and asked the question, "What do you guys know about 3-D printing and additive manufacturing?…I just came from an MSCI conference where I heard enough in the hour-long presentation that basically told me I don't know what I don't know, so I want you all to put together a little team and come back in 6 to 9 months (whatever the time frame was.) Come back with a plan for what our company should be doing in this space." Flash forward – that company recently bought a 3-D printing company.
Bob Leduc, President of Pratt & Whitney, with 2016 sales of $15 billion and 38,000 employees, described how the rapid pace of technological advances in the jet engine industry is requiring his company to become nimble in the face of a historic growth rate in commercial aviation, advancements in technology, and increasingly stiff competition.
"There is no question that we are in a VUCA environment right now," he says. "When you think about our business, we've got a very complicated landscape. We have established competitors, but also emerging competitors, particularly in China and Russia. We have technology that is constantly advancing, and we have commercial and military customers redefining what their business models are and [what] they value now vs. what they previously did. So basically, the whole landscape is moving on us in many different directions and, because of that, we needed to foster a culture that would allow the organization to move quickly.
Mike Fucci, Chairman of Deloitte, with 84,000 employees and $18 billion in revenue, spoke about how the changing nature of work and advanced technology is altering customer expectations in the professional services market.
"[I]t's almost a 180-degree difference [from when I joined the firm] as to what people need to be learning and how they learn. We don't work in offices anymore. We have people in London, on the phone with people in New York…people in South Carolina. The way we work is so different that training and learning (are different). It's more like an extension of college, as opposed to a way to actually help you build skills that help clients solve problems. When people enter different levels of their career, like we do a lot of work with new senior managers and new partners, it's helping them learn how to operate differently in those roles, and it's not just that what got you to where you were doesn't work at the next level. It used to be that that technical experience was kind of all you needed—you had a deep knowledge in something and you brought that knowledge to clients. We have to stay in front of disruption with our clients, and as the chairman, one of the things that actually concerns me a lot is how do we govern over disruption. It's hard enough to manage over disruption. How do we govern over disruption? So, how do I build really nimble leaders to be able to address a little bit of the unknown? That's why the VUCA analogy resonates with me, because it's really more about building leadership than it is about building technical skills.
These examples illustrate how executives understand their dynamic business environments. They all talk about the accelerating rate of change caused by advances in technology, which have brought new competitors into their market and forced a rethinking about the nature of work in their companies. In the next three articles, we will share the ways these leaders are transforming their organizations to respond to these disruptions.

# Your First NFT

This tutorial describes how to create and transfer NFTs on the Aptos blockchain. The Aptos implementation for core NFTs can be found in the [token.move](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/blob/main/aptos-move/framework/aptos-token/sources/token.move) Move module.

For reference, also see:
* [mint_nft](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/tree/main/aptos-move/move-examples/mint_nft) Move example on how to airdrop an NFT
* [mint_nft.rs](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/blob/main/aptos-move/e2e-move-tests/src/tests/mint_nft.rs) Rust end-to-end test

## Step 1: Pick an SDK

Install your preferred SDK from the below list:

* [TypeScript SDK](../sdks/ts-sdk/index.md)
* [Python SDK](../sdks/python-sdk.md)
* [Rust SDK](../sdks/rust-sdk.md)

---

## Step 2: Run the example

Each SDK provides an `examples` directory. This tutorial covers the `simple-nft` example.

Clone the `aptos-core` repo:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:aptos-labs/aptos-core.git ~/aptos-core
```

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">
  <TabItem value="typescript" label="Typescript">

  Navigate to the Typescript SDK examples directory:
  ```bash
  cd ~/aptos-core/ecosystem/typescript/sdk/examples/typescript
  ```

  Install the necessary dependencies:
  ```bash
  pnpm install
  ```

  Run the Typescript [`simple_nft`](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/blob/main/ecosystem/typescript/sdk/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts) example:
  ```bash
  pnpm run simple_nft
  ```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="python" label="Python">

  Navigate to the Python SDK directory:
  ```bash
  cd ~/aptos-core/ecosystem/python/sdk
  ```

  Install the necessary dependencies:
  ```bash
  curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3
  poetry update
  ```

  Run the Python [`simple-nft`](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/blob/main/ecosystem/python/sdk/examples/simple-nft.py) example:
  ```bash
  poetry run python -m examples.simple-nft
  ```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

Coming soon.
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

## Step 3: Understand the output

The following output should appear after executing the `simple-nft` example, though some values will be different:

```yaml
=== Addresses ===
Alice: 0xeef95e86c160fa10a71675c6075f44f8f2c6125f57b4b589424f1fbee385f754
Bob: 0x4dcd7b180c123fdb989d10f71fba6c978bda268c2e3660c169bdb55f67aab776

=== Initial Coin Balances ===
Alice: 100000000
Bob: 100000000

=== Creating Collection and Token ===

    },
    "name": "Alice's",
    "supply": "1",
    "uri": "https://alice.com"
}
Alice's token balance: 1
Alice's token data: {
    "default_properties": {
        "map": {
            "data": []
        }
    },
    "description": "Alice's simple token",

    "maximum": "18446744073709551615",
    "mutability_config": {
        "description": false,
        "maximum": false,
        "properties": false,

        "uri": false
    },
    "name": "Alice's first token",
    "royalty": {
        "payee_address": "0xeef95e86c160fa10a71675c6075f44f8f2c6125f57b4b589424f1fbee385f754",
        "royalty_points_denominator": "0",
        "royalty_points_numerator": "0"
    },
    "supply": "1",
    "uri": "https://aptos.dev/img/nyan.jpeg"
}

=== Transferring the token to Bob ===
Alice's token balance: 0
Bob's token balance: 1

=== Transferring the token back to Alice using MultiAgent ===
Alice's token balance: 1
Bob's token balance: 0
```

* The creation of two accounts: Alice and Bob.
* The funding and creation of Alice and Bob's accounts.
* The creation of a collection and a token using Alice's account.
* Alice offering a token and Bob claiming it.
* Bob unilaterally sending the token to Alice via a multiagent transaction.

### Step 4.1: Initializing the clients

In the first step, the example initializes both the API and faucet clients.

- The API client interacts with the REST API.
- The faucet client interacts with the devnet Faucet service for creating and funding accounts.

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">
  <TabItem value="typescript" label="Typescript">

```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_1a
```

Using the API client we can create a `TokenClient` that we use for common token operations such as creating collections and tokens, transferring them, claiming them, and so on.
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_1b
```

`common.ts` initializes the URL values as such:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/common.ts section_1
```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="python" label="Python">

```python
:!: static/sdks/python/examples/simple-nft.py section_1
```

[`common.py`](https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core/tree/main/ecosystem/python/sdk/examples/common.py) initializes these values as follows:

```python
:!: static/sdks/python/examples/common.py section_1
```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

```rust
:!: static/sdks/rust/examples/transfer-coin.rs section_1a
```

Using the API client we can create a `CoinClient` that we use for common coin operations such as transferring coins and checking balances.
```rust
:!: static/sdks/rust/examples/transfer-coin.rs section_1b
```

In the example we initialize the URL values as such:
```rust
:!: static/sdks/rust/examples/transfer-coin.rs section_1c
```
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

:::tip

By default, the URLs for both the services point to Aptos devnet services. However, they can be configured with the following environment variables:
  - `APTOS_NODE_URL`
  - `APTOS_FAUCET_URL`

### Step 4.2: Creating local accounts

The next step is to create two accounts locally. [Accounts](../concepts/accounts.md) represent both on and off-chain state. Off-chain state consists of an address and the public/private key pair used to authenticate ownership. This step demonstrates how to generate that off-chain state.

  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

```rust
:!: static/sdks/rust/examples/transfer-coin.rs section_2
```
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.3: Creating blockchain accounts

In Aptos, each account must have an on-chain representation in order to receive tokens and coins and interact with other dApps. An account represents a medium for storing assets; hence, it must be explicitly created. This example leverages the Faucet to create Alice and Bob's accounts:

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">

  <TabItem value="python" label="Python">

```python
:!: static/sdks/python/examples/simple-nft.py section_3
```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

  Since the Rust example here uses the same `transfer-coin.rs` function as in the [Your First Transaction](first-transaction.md) tutorial, it creates but does not fund Bob's account.

```rust
:!: static/sdks/rust/examples/transfer-coin.rs section_3
```
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.4: Creating a collection

Now begins the process of creating tokens. First, the creator must create a collection to store tokens. A collection can contain zero, one, or many distinct tokens within it. The collection does not restrict the attributes of the tokens, as it is only a container.

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">
  <TabItem value="typescript" label="Typescript">

Your application will call `createCollection`:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_4
```

```

  <TabItem value="python" label="Python">

Your application will call `create_collection`:
```python

```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

Coming soon.
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.5: Creating a token

To create a token, the creator must specify an associated collection. A token must be associated with a collection, and that collection must have remaining tokens that can be minted. There are many attributes associated with a token, but the helper API exposes only the minimal amount required to create static content.

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">
  <TabItem value="typescript" label="Typescript">

Your application will call `createToken`:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_5

```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.6: Reading token and collection metadata

Both the collection and token metadata are stored on the creator's account within their `Collections` in a table. The SDKs provide convenience wrappers around querying these specific tables:

<Tabs groupId="sdk-examples">
  <TabItem value="typescript" label="Typescript">

To read a collection's metadata:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_6
```

To read a token's metadata:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/examples/typescript/simple_nft.ts section_8
```

Here's how `getTokenData` queries the token metadata:
```ts
:!: static/sdks/typescript/src/token_client.ts getTokenData
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="python" label="Python">

To read a collection's metadata:
```python
:!: static/sdks/python/examples/simple-nft.py section_6
```

To read a token's metadata:
```python
:!: static/sdks/python/examples/simple-nft.py section_8
```

Here's how `get_token_data` queries the token metadata:
```python
:!: static/sdks/python/aptos_sdk/client.py read_token_data_table
```

  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

### Step 4.7: Reading a token balance

Each token within Aptos is a distinct asset. The assets owned by the user are stored within their `TokenStore`. To get the balance:

  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.8: Offering and claiming a token

Many users of other blockchains have received unwanted tokens that may cause anything from minimal embarrassment to serious ramifications. Aptos gives the rights to each account owner to dictate whether or not to receive unilateral transfers. By default, unilateral transfers are unsupported. So Aptos provides a framework for *offering* and *claiming* tokens.

To offer a token:

  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

</Tabs>

To claim a token:

```
  </TabItem>
  <TabItem value="rust" label="Rust">

Coming soon.
  </TabItem>
</Tabs>

---

### Step 4.9: Safe unilateral transferring of a token

To support safe unilateral transfers of a token, the sender may first ask the recipient to acknowledge off-chain a pending transfer. This comes in the form of a multiagent transaction request. Multiagent transactions contain multiple signatures, one for each on-chain account. Move then can leverage this to give `signer`-level permissions to all who signed the transaction. For token transfers, this process ensures the receiving party does indeed want to receive this token without requiring the use of the token transfer framework described above.

I have always loved Dr. Seuss! As a child and even a teenager, I was drawn to the wackiness of his themes and made-up words juxtaposed with the reason of his perfect prose. As I've studied early education and early literacy, I've come to love Dr. Seuss even more! His books are pretty much the best for building phonological awareness, the development of which is critical for reading (read more here). They not only expose children to rhythm and rhyme in an enchanting, almost intoxicating way, but they also introduce rhyming with invented words, which emphasizes further the importance of sound in rhyming – not meaning. These "nonsense words" also open the imagination and creativity of children in a simply magical way. In my opinion, his work is so critical to a good education, I refer to him as the Shakespeare of childhood!
Dr. Seuss (born Theodor Geisel) was a pioneer on the front of children's literature. His first children's book, And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street, came about when he couldn't get the rhythm of a ship's engine out of his head. He took that pervasive beat and used it as the meter for his prose in this somewhat reflective look at his childhood. It took some time to get published, but established him as a quality children's author. His most famous work, The Cat in the Hat, came about as a response to the claim that basal readers for children were too staid and boring, and that children were not developing as readers because the material they were given in school was not enticing enough. Using the same required 250 word list, The Cat in the Hat turned basals on their heads. Almost literally! The book seemed too radical to some in the education profession, but parents and children couldn't get enough! Another early reader favorite, Green Eggs and Ham, actually came about as the result of a wager! A publishing friend bet Ted that he couldn't write a book using only 50 words. He did, and decades later children still can't stop reading it!
Dr. Seuss was prolific and amazing, and he changed the face of children's literature forever! If you're a Seuss-ophile like I am, check out the biography Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel by Judith Morgan and Neil Morgan, it's fascinating! You can also read a summarized biography as well as check out some great activities and quotes at the Seussville website.
So in honor of Dr. Seuss' 106th birthday, I'm posting some of my favorite Dr. Seuss Book Activities!

It utilised to be that dwelling networking was focused on connecting PCs, but the rise of other networked devices over current years has broadened the appeal a lot. If you're connecting to an additional network employing a modem, your pc encapsulates the packets in a PPP frame. Software program options are normally intended to guard 1 personal computer and hardware options are intended to defend the whole household network. If the router receives a packet on the LAN interface that desires to be forwarded onto the frame relay link, it will strip off the ethernet frame and re-encapsulate the packet in a frame relay frame just before sending it on its way. Putting with each other a house network isn't trivial, but it doesn't have to be overly tricky, either.
In the case of Virtual Wi-Fi, the Ethernet card is optional so you can turn a laptop into a hotspot even if your laptop itself is connected to a Wireless network and not to an Ethernet cable. Virtual Router performs will all editions of Windows 7 except the Starter edition due to the fact Microsoft has disabled the Virtual Wifi function in that certain edition. The only way to cease broadcasts is to subnet a network into unique logical segments (sub-networks) applying routers which operate at OSI layer three. The downside of hosts files is that you have to have a single on every system on your network and if a modify demands to be created it demands to be created to all of the files manually by editing them with a text editor.
We can take one of the standard Class B private network ranges, say 172.16.., and subnet it by taking a piece of the computer aspect of an IP address (analogous to a phone quantity) and applying it to sub-divide the network variety (as with an exchange).
The layer 2 switch has two ports on the exact same vlan, one of the ports goes to the modem ethernet port, the other goes to what is commonly referred to as the wan port on the router. All you need to have is a cost-free application called Virtual Router and the laptop or computer connected to the world-wide-web have to be operating Windows 7. In other words, the 1st command sets up a static route to a particular program, though the second command sets up a static route to the entire 172.18.. network.
The easiest way to setup a wireless network, as we all know, is with the assist of a router – just attach a wireless router to your modem and any Wi-Fi enabled gear, that is located inside the signal range of your router, will be in a position to connect to the internet utilizing that lone Internet connection.


Getting the Hang of Psychobabble | Welcome to Carolina Counseling Services - Pinehurst, NC!!!
Like other professionals, counselors speak their own language to communicate with members of their profession and to distinguish them as a unique group. They use certain psychiatric terms that may confuse individuals outside that group.
Wikipedia defines psychobabble as a form of speech or writing that uses psychological jargon and expressions coined by health practitioners, researchers, and scholars. It is derived from the words "psychology" and "babble," which means unintelligible or meaningless sounds. Although psychobabble is intended to create an impression of truth, it is often difficult to follow and may unnecessarily complicate a simple idea.
Many professionals often speak in psychobabble while performing therapeutic work and conveying observations about clients. However, those with little training in psychology may also use psychobabble in improper contexts or without truly understanding the meanings of the terms. We could blame it on the proliferation of self-help books that use diagnostic terms in the guise of aiding the general public on mental health without an actual diagnosis from a professional.
Psychobabble: Is It a Barrier to Counseling Services?
Legitimate members of the counseling field are concerned that psychobabble is doing a disservice to clients by becoming a barrier to clarity. When it is used to describe a serious health issue, people tend to dismiss the issue as not real. This can result in prejudice and loss of trust toward the profession, causing individuals not to seek treatment for actual conditions.
For example, parents may disregard the symptoms of child depression as just sadness, thinking their child will grow out of it. While other children of the same age may eventually outgrow sadness, your child's depression can significantly impair his or her normal function if left untreated.
Psychobabble has also become a part of everyday conversation to describe life difficulties. People may say a friend is "bipolar" because of frequent mood swings, or may claim to have "OCD" if they like order and cleanliness. Many parents refer to their child's bad behavior as "acting out," when in reality there is an internal emotional struggle that needs to be diagnosed and evaluated by a specialist.
People receiving treatment for their psychological, emotional, or behavioral issues may be confused when professionals use psychobabble instead of discussing matters clearly and coherently. The language may interfere with an individual's ability to understand the ongoing treatment. It may be beneficial for therapists or counselors to refrain from using psychobabble to ensure that people under their care have adequate understanding of any diagnosis given.
Carolina Counseling Services — Pinehurst, NC, stands by its commitment to provide assistance to people seeking help for their psychological, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Help is available in a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental setting where independently contracted counselors wait to serve you.
In your search for the right therapist, you may find yourself deluged with multiple titles and labels. Don't think this is a psychobabble tactic. Behind all those acronyms are real professionals with experience, training, and credentials. Although there are different professions in the mental health field, they are collectively known as "Mental Health Counselors." They are often referred to interchangeably, but each one offers distinct services.
Knowing the specific differences between the professionals contracted with Carolina Counseling Services — Pinehurst, NC, will guide you when it's time to make a decision.
Psychiatrists: These are professional doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of various psychiatric conditions. Since they have medical training, they are licensed to prescribe medications.
Due to a shortage of psychiatrists in the state of NC, they limit the first session to between 30 minutes and an hour, and subsequent meetings are shorter in duration—just enough time to oversee the client's requirement for psychotropic medications.
Psychologists: With a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) in psychology, these experts have an average of five to seven years of education after receiving their bachelor's degree. Licensed psychologists must have at least two years of supervised work and pass a national exam.
Those with PhDs specialize in clinical practice, research, training, and assessment, while PsyD holders have primary training in counseling, psychotherapy, and psychological testing. Unlike psychiatrists, however, psychologists cannot prescribe medicine.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW): These specialists hold a master's degree in social work and have satisfied the licensing requirements of the state where they practice professionally. They must spend two years of work supervised by an LCSW and successfully pass an extensive licensure exam.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT): These professionals have graduate training in marriage and family therapy, and must have at least two years of clinical experience before taking the state licensing exam. They provide counseling within the context of marriage and family systems.
Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC): To become LPCs, these counselors must have either a master's or doctoral degree in counseling and 3,000 hours of post-master's experience. Passing the national counseling exam makes them licensed or certified to diagnose and treat psychological and emotional issues affecting individuals and families.
Maybe you find yourself confused by the terms "behavioral" and "mental." Although they appear to be synonymous, there is a distinction to be made. "Behavioral" denotes a person's actions, while "mental" refers to one's way of thinking. A post at Psychology Today states that there seems to be less stigma around the word "behavioral," as it implies a positive, hopeful, and gentle reference, and that's why it's preferred over the word "mental" in many facilities.
The overall point is that counseling should be accessible even if you hear psychobabble jargon during the process. Being aware of and able to understand the language shared by those you choose to work with when you decide to get counseling will open doors that were closed before.
This may not be everything you need to know, but you may find it useful when you need help from a professional. When life becomes challenging and your feelings become difficult to handle, don't hesitate to reach out to Carolina Counseling Services — Pinehurst, NC for help. Whatever your concerns are, they will not be lost in translation. Call now to request an appointment.

The hallmark of a well-written academic essay is the inclusion of credible sources. It's one thing to inform or persuade your readers with your own observations and thoughts. It's another thing to back up your ideas with statements from respected authorities.
Once you can bolster your work with the words of someone with proven knowledge, you'll be well on your way to a solid essay. Below, we'll discuss when to quote, paraphrase, or summarize someone else's work.
Quotation marks are reserved for lines of text that are identical to an original piece of writing. Anything inside quotation marks must match the original text, word for word, and be attributed to the original author.
Writers tend to use quotes when they want to maintain accuracy or highlight the specific words of another author. You never want to pack an academic essay with too many quotes because they're not expressing your ideas, but someone else's.
How to Quote Text
If you're only going to quote two or three sentences, you can include them within your current paragraph. Here's an example of a paragraph from an academic essay on punctuation. It contains a short quotation:
For non-native English speakers, learning to punctuate properly can be quite trying. Professor Kittelstad writes, "When joining two independent clauses together, you'll want to consider a semicolon if the ideas are related or a period to demonstrate a full stop." (Kittelstad, p. 92) All these fine details may seem overwhelming at first. However, the payoff in the end is a gift. Writing with precision is a skill that shouldn't be taken lightly.
If you'd like to quote a larger piece of the original writer's work, then you'll want to move into block quotes. A good rule of thumb is that anything over four sentences should be moved into a block quote. Your teacher's style guide will indicate how to use block quotes but, generally speaking, they're indented an inch and do not require quotation marks. Here's an example:
Commas, semicolons, and periods are often interchanged in error. Commas are used to indicate a slight pause. They're best suited between a dependent and an independent clause. When joining two independent clauses together, you'll want to consider a semicolon if the ideas are related or a period to demonstrate a full stop. (Kittelstad, p. 92)
Paraphrasing
When we paraphrase, we're taking a large section of someone else's writing and conveying the main message in our own words. We're restating something that's already been written - but in our own words - while still maintaining the original idea. Here's an example:
According to Professor Kittelstad, there's a difference between commas and semicolons. Commas should be used between a dependent and an independent clause. Meanwhile, semicolons should be used between two independent clauses.
Notice how this paraphrase was immediately attributed to the original author. It's good to paraphrase when the exact verbiage of the entire original text isn't as important as the main idea you're trying to convey.
Paraphrasing will allow you to maintain your own writing style and voice while sharing important points from a credible source in the field. In doing so, you're using your own intellect and understanding to share an important thought. Paraphrases tend to be shorter that the original text and, sometimes, easier to read. Still, it's very important to cite the original source in order to avoid any instances of plagiarism.
Summarizing
In a summary, we're putting the main points from someone else's text into our own words. Like paraphrasing, summarizing will condense the text and speak in generalities so that the reader can easily understand.
The key difference between a summary and a paraphrase is that a paraphrase doesn't have to shorten the text (although it usually does). A summary, however, is mainly intended to abbreviate a larger piece of text. Even though you're not copying someone else's writing word for word, it's still important to cite the original source and avoid any of these examples of plagiarism. Here's an example:
In Professor Kittelstad's textbook, The Art of the Comma, we learn semicolons can separate entire sentences while commas cannot.
This summary is even more clipped than the paraphrase above. It doesn't go into the nitty-gritty and use big terms like "dependent clause" and "independent clause." A summary will strive to get "straight to the point" in as few words as possible.
Citing Your Sources
Whether it's a simple, "According to Professor Kittelstad," or a citation within parentheses, it's important to cite your sources every time you're referencing someone else's work. This is definitely one of those cases where it's better to be safe than sorry. If you're struggling to find sources to back up your ideas, check out How to Find Credible Sources.
Once you have some great sources in mind, it's time to get to the business of following your teacher's preferred style guide. This will tell you where to punctuate around your quoted sources and more. To get you started, here are some APA format examples, Chicago Manual of Style examples, and MLA format examples.
To make sure you're fully covered and free from any instances of plagiarism, it's always wise to tack on a works cited page at the end of any piece of writing where you quoted, paraphrased, or summarized someone else's work. Like in-text citations, your works cited page will differ, depending on your style guide. Still, it's the best way to make sure you've covered all your tracks.
Quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing are nice ways to pay someone else's ideas forward. If you've read something that's pertinent to your current research topic, use it in your next essay. Any time you can substantiate your ideas with someone else's well-researched findings, it'll bolster the case you're trying to make.
Of course, you want to rely on your own ideas first and avoid the temptation to clutter an essay with quotes. But, once you strike the right balance, you'll have a beautifully written piece. On that note, here's everything you need to know about how to write an essay.

Q: How to convert numpy array elements to spark RDD column values I'm getting ready to use the built-in CSV printing facility of the spark dataframe (not pandas). I have an IndexedRowMatrix already built. As such there are sparse array columns in it. The conversion to dense array is performed by the x.vector.toArray() map call (below).  I cannot seem to figure out, how to get the dense numpy array elements into individual columns of a Spark DataFrame. (I am not introducing pandas please.) How to get this RDD into 7 column dataframe, consisting of a string column and six integer columns? My code so far:
X = CoordinateMatrix(sc.parallelize(entries))
Xirm = X.toIndexedRowMatrix()
colnames = "username," + ','.join(str(cell) for cell in itemids.keys())  # Make CSV header line
# Might need this for speed: Arrow:  https://bryancutler.github.io/createDataFrame/  See above conf=...
XX = Xirm.rows.map(lambda x: (lu[x.index], x.vector.toArray())) # ?
print(XX.take(2))
df = XX.toDF() #TypeError: Can not infer schema for type: <class 'numpy.ndarray'>
#df.write.csv(header=colnames, path=out_filename)

Here is the take(2) to see an example of the data:
[('kygiacomo', array([ 0.,  1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.])), ('namohysip', array([ 1.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]))]

See the problem is the RDD tuple has 2 columns, but I need 7 columns in a DataFrame. The number of columns is dynamically determined and I have the column names in the colnames variable but I don't know how to feed that in either.  Again, the goal is to output a CSV file "equivalent" (many partial files is OK) by using spark's built-in CSV writing function of the DAtaFrame. (Spark 2.3.0 is resident.) The reals will be converted to ints ideally, and no quotes surrounding any data values. But the 2-to-7 column conversion is the really tough problem here at the moment. Thanks for tips.

A: A simple conversion to plain Python types and unpacking should do the trick:
Xirm.rows.map(lambda x: (lu[x.index], *x.vector.toArray().tolist()))

same as
Xirm.rows.map(lambda x: [lu[x.index]] + x.vector.toArray().tolist())

Founding Fathers: Hamilton and the American Identity
by Rachel Perry-Watts
As many will be aware, and many will not, the hit musical 'Hamilton' recently released tickets to its West End show, opening at the Victoria Palace Theatre in November this year. According to the Telegraph, over 100,00 people registered to be notified of the general sale of these tickets. I was lucky enough to get one through the pre-release sales, however as time goes on tickets will undoubtedly become like gold dust. But what is it that has made this show such a global phenomenon?
The musical was written by the multi-talented playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda and tells of the life of the lesser known founding father, Alexander Hamilton, predominantly through the medium of rap and show tunes. To many, this might sound like an absolute nightmare, but to others, like myself, it gives a fresh new perspective on history; capturing the past and making it both relevant and accessible to audiences today. Although, the show is no stranger to criticism, and recently it received some less than positive feedback from everyone's favourite twitter troll and President of the United States, Donald Trump. Trump, who arguably represents the exact opposite of what the founding fathers set out to achieve, stated that 'The cast of Hamilton was very rude last night to a very good man, Mike Pence' and then demanded that they 'apologize!'. The incident he is referring to occurred a week or so after the American election, when Vice-President Mike Pence attended the show on Broadway. At the end of the show, the cast, who are a diverse group of Americans, gave a rousing speech, clearly aimed at Pence, asking that the new administration work for all Americans, not just those with wealth and power. Now this seems like a reasonable request, and an admirable one, but as happens all too often with Trump, he took to twitter to label to show 'overrated', a word which he also used to describe an actress who has received a total of 20 Oscar nominations.
I am not going to focus on questioning Trump's judgements, despite that I certainly don't agree with them, I believe there to be a far more fundamental issue at play here, and that Trump is merely the figurehead of this. National identity is something that can be extremely unifying, and yet extremely destructive. I am no political expert, but it does not take an expert to notice that in this era of post-truth politics, elections can be won on an almost entirely emotional basis. Something that the Brexit and the Trump votes have in common is that they can be seen as the result of a large group of dissatisfied people who feel they have been alienated and neglected politically banding together. The American identity has been polarised, and this is what may have led to a President who has promised to build walls and discriminate against people on the basis of race and religion.
As Hamilton so brilliantly portrays, America started as a nation of immigrants who worked together to start a nation that could be the 'Land of the Free'. Of course, America's origins are not perfect, the issues of slavery and the exploitation of native Americans were unspeakably awful. Yet, the America that the founding fathers envisioned was one of liberty and justice, two words that few people would associated with the current administration. Although it does not have an outwardly political agenda, there is surely much we can learn from 'Hamilton' and its stance on the purpose of America.

Who Shall Protect The People? – July 2020 Monthly Monitoring Report
By Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP)3 August 2020Democracy, Human Rights
The state of paranoia
During the first week of July, Transform Zimbabwe leader, Jacob Ngarivhume announced he was galvanising support for a July 31 demonstration against corruption. His announcement immediately drew the support of the generality of Zimbabweans such that even on social media, the hashtag #31July was trending. This announcement came amid revelations of widespread corruption in government, including the Drax Scandal, where government unprocedurally shelled out US$60 million Covid-19 supply contract to a shelf company called Drax without going to public tender.
This was followed by the revelation that top Zanu PF officials and sympathisers – including many who are still in government – had looted farm mechanisation equipment in 2008 and not paid back any cent. In that case, the question for the month of July would remain, who shall protect the people, when those assigned to protect them, are preying on them?
The situation, which came as discontent over economic mismanagement was rising, allowed for conversations on the demonstration to dominate the Zimbabwean online and offline spaces.
During this month, the cases of Covid-19 were rising sharply, and government announced stricter measures to restrict movement, including a 6pm to 6am curfew enforced by state security agents. The curfew was starkly similar to the one imposed by the colonial government during the liberation struggle.
Government, known for using brute force, did not attempt to deal with the concerns citizens were raising, but instead, got into a state of paranoia, and began a systematic targeting of individuals and issuing very strong threats to the people of Zimbabwe.
On July 20, police arrested Ngarivhume and Chin'ono, and ironically charged them for inciting violence, and at the time of writing of this report, the two are still languishing in remand prison after the State did all it could to deny them bail.
By the end of the month, and by July 31, the State's paranoia had reached unprecedented levels, and dozens had been arrested, hundreds brutalised, and Zimbabwe was in a state of fear, with the state security agents deployed in every part of the country, rural and urban.
The mass arrests, abductions and assaults targeted journalists, human rights defenders, opposition activists, and anyone who was courageous enough to utilise their constitutional right to self expression including international award winning author Tsitsi Dangarembga.
This report documents and analyses the state of human rights violations during the volatile month of July, and as evidenced by the statistics, the month of July marked the peak of the State's violence on its people.
Once again, the Zimbabwe Republic Police and the Zimbabwe National Army topped the list of the perpetrators of human rights violations with a combined 80.66 percent.
During the month, ZPP recorded 48 cases of unlawful detention, 68 cases of assault and 168 cases of harassment and intimidation, 15 cases of abduction and torture, with the majority of these being attributable to state security agents.

Steve Wozniak interviewed in 1982

Comments Off on Steve Wozniak interviewed in 1982
Steve Wozniak has given many interviews about the old days of inventing the Apple II and working with Steve Jobs. But back when the old days weren't yet old, Woz was interviewed by Michael Harrison, who hosted the Harrison's Mic talk radio show on KMET in Los Angeles, 1975–1986. Harrison has since transitioned from radio to podcast, and he's now re-aired this 1982 interview as an episode of his podcast, The Michael Harrison Interview. The episode is 33 minutes long, with the 1982 interview beginning at 4:49. It's a fascinating opportunity to draw parallels between Woz's observations and predictions, and the culture that eventually arose.
Woz wastes no time in sharing his insights into how the Apple II created a new generation of entrepreneurs:
It's really amazing to find how many 16-year-olds in high school right now are making more money than even anybody's parents in the schools are making… They've gone and written a program for a personal computer, like a game, a popular game, or a Rubik's cube program, or a chess program, and they'll market it through some of the companies that have sprung up to sell these programs, and good ones sell like hotcake… I don't know a single one that's as old as I. I'm 32. All the very popular names that are coming up, they're almost all 16, 18.
This echoes Tim Enwall at Misty Robotics, who recently attributed the success of the Apple II to this third-party innovation:
Apple didn't create or find VisiCalc. Based on the Apple II providing a relatively affordable, sufficiently powerful, and easily enough programmed platform, VisiCalc found it.
Woz also predicted the ubiquity of personal computers:
Harrison: Do you see that spreading to all of society in 10–20 years, where we're all going to become electronics freaks?
Woz: Oh, no. No. Not at all… We all have TVs. We all have Hi-Fis. And we're not TV freaks or Hi-Fi freaks or car freaks. But there's going to be a lot more exposure to it. It'll be commonplace.
This is the same thing Leigh Alexander meant during GamerGate when she wrote, "'Gamers' don't have to be your audience. 'Gamers' are over." — not that an audience or culture was dead, but that it had become so pervasive as to be meaningless. We can all enjoy a good game, computer, or recipe without being a programmer, engineer, or chef; you don't have to understand what's happening under the hood to appreciate the results.
Speaking of electronic games, Woz expressed some concerns about this emerging medium:
It's great when it's fun and it's a game, but you can get very intense into it, just like some people get into football very intensely and wind up hitting the TV set. When you take a game very seriously, it can be very addicting and result in a lot of negative behavior… We don't have any evidence, but we know it. We know that it's a problem.
I was surprised and disappointed to hear Woz take such a strong stance while admitting there's no evidence to support it. We live in a society that often ignores or contradicts scientific evidence when it contradicts our "common sense". Of course, at the dawn of personal computing, there was little evidence one way or the other; nowadays, I hope any opinion Woz has now was arrived after reviewing the available resources.
