As licensed mental health practitioners, counselors are bound by a strict set of professional codes. State laws, along with the ethical guidelines of professional organizations, require professional counselors to act with their clients' best interests in mind. Since mental health counselors work with clients of all ages who are dealing with issues ranging from routine stress to debilitating mood and dissociative disorders, it is imperative that they understand the wide score of their ethical obligations and the professional liability issues that can arise from breaches in protocol.

Certificates of training are a tool people and companies use to prove that individuals have successfully demonstrated an understanding of a given subject, often after completing coursework and testing. According to "Certification Magazine," organizations develop certification programs when they want to create preference in the marketplace for certain types of people or technology. Developing a successful certification program involves a lot of resources and time, but certifications are a key step to establishing employee competency and complying with certain governmental and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements.

Putin's order, signed this month, follows news reports from October saying the Russian government was planning to drop Microsoft products in favor of a national open-source operating system based on Linux.

The transition to open-source, or free, software will begin in the second quarter of 2011, with the Ministry of Communications examining what base software packages are needed for government agencies, according to the documents. During the same quarter, the ministry and other agencies will develop proposals for user support centers and for mechanisms to support software developers, the documents said.

Russian agencies will also begin an inventory of their IT assets during the second quarter of 2011, the documents said. Pilot agencies will begin using a basic package open-source software in the second quarter of 2012, according to the transition schedule.

The Russian government also plans to build a national repository for open-source software.

Putin's support for open-source software could be "critical," wrote open-source-focused author Glyn Moody in the Open blog. Other attempts to move parts of the Russian government to open-source software have largely failed because of a lack of political support, he wrote.

"But if Putin says: 'make it so,' I suspect that a lot of people will jump pretty fast to make sure that it *is* so," he wrote. "And once that happens, other plans to roll out free software might well suddenly look rather more attractive."

The Business Software Alliance, a trade group representing large U.S. software vendors, estimated that 67% of software used in Russia in 2009 was pirated.

Disclaimer. This is not an advert or endorsement for any product mentioned in this article. Products are mentioned for informational and illustrative purposes only. Make sure you research competing products before making purchase decisions. I am not in any way shape or form affiliated with any of the companies.

Technology moves at a fast pace. Unless you keep up with the times, you may be unaware of what is now possible, that used to be out of your price range.

I am going to shed light on what is possible today for very little money, and hopefully be able to remove the vagueness on how to set things up too.

If in the not too distant past you could not afford a laptop, now you can get one for as little as USD80. An examle of such cheap laptop is the Menq EasyPC E790, made by a chinese company. There is a video review here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_k_kpO647s

For your $80 investment, you can do most of the things a regular laptop can do, such as:

Word processing,
Video/music playback,
Data organizer,
Web browsing,
etc.

But perhaps the most important use you can put this cheap little gadget to, is for making free phone calls using VoIP programs like Skype. It is OK if you do not understand terminologies like VoIP, Skype etc. All you need to know is that they let you make free phone calls.

Most of these kinds of laptops (netbooks) come with Windows CE installed on them. Windows CE is the Microsoft Windows operating system for small devices that have weaker processors.

Because the laptop runs Windows, it means you can install basic Windows programs like Skype.

How to get on the Internet...

Let us talk about how you can use your $80 laptop to get online.

First, you need an Internet account from one of the many wireless service providers out there.
One that a friend of mine has tried is http://mtnonline.com/products-services/ ... ta-bundles
The above page shows account options that range from N500 to N8000.
Glo-1 also offers something similar: http://www.gloworld.com/hsi.asp Unfortunately, I know nothing about what Glo-1 is offering.

The N500 option from MTN is a one day plan. This means after activation, you have 24 hours to use it all up, or lose any remaining credit.

My favorite is the N2500 option. This lets you keep your credits for 30 days, but can only be used at night between 9pm and 6am. Assuming you live in Nigeria, and have friends in the USA. This kind of night time account comes in handy, because night time in Nigeria is actually daytime in the US.

MTN also offers more expensive options, depending on your needs.

So, how does the MTN account work? How do you get the account to work with Skype on your $80 laptop?

It is simple.

When you sign up with MTN, you get a USB modem which looks like a flashdrive.
You insert the modem into one of the USB slots on your laptop.
Follow the instructions provided by MTN, and eventually you would be connected to the Internet.

Friends of mine have used MTN with varying degrees of success. Being a wireless technology, you sometimes suffer from frequent disconnects. But I must say I have witnessed hours of uninterrupted connections in the past. Friends I've chatted with in the past using MTN, are located in the Abuja/Minna area.

Once you are connected to the Internet using MTN, Glo-1, etc, you can now open your web browser, and go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-sky ... r/windows/
Download and install the free Skype program.
Create a Skype account if you do not already have one.
Once Skype is installed, launch it, and login with your Skype account.
You can now add your friends to Skype, and start making free phone calls to them. Video calls are also possible.

To give you an idea of how much money you can save with this cheap laptop, friends and family in Nigeria call me in the USA. In one case, after 10 hours of intermittent voice/video chat, only about 15% of the N500 MTN credit had been used. In othere words, a 10-hour International phone call for only N75! How much do you think a 10-hour phone call would cost on a typical mobile/cellular phone?

As you can see, for as little as $80, you can purchase a real laptop computer that lets you do most of the things you would do on a normal computer. But most importantly, you would be able to make free long distance voice/video calls, as well as be able to get online anytime anywhere within the ISPs coverage area.

My guess is that $80 is not outside the price range of most Nigerians. Imagine that most Nigerians could purchase this little computer. That means you no longer need to pay the phone company for long distance phone calls. You simple make free Skype/VoIP calls to each other. Furthermore, you can now get online from your own home, or from anywhere you happen to be.

The setup of Skype is not difficult. But those less tech-savvy may need assistance on how to set it up, how to add users, how to dial other Skype users and how to receive calls from them.

Now you no longer have an excuse not to own a computer. Go on and order a cheap laptop today.

How can you purchase one one of these $80 laptops? You can order one directly from Hong Kong - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/7-tft-lcd- ... -lan-39391 It would be shipped to you in Nigeria. The shipping is free too.

There are even rumors of $35 laptop coming soon out of India:

Rather than give you a dry definition, let me explain it with examples.

Once upon a time, you first downloaded your email to the local computer before you could read and reply to them.

All your mail stayed on that single computer, meaning you cannot access the downloaded mail from anywhere else. This is known as POP3 mail.

To be able to do the downloading, you need to first install a software, known as mail client. Examples of mail clients are: Eudora, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. One downside to this method of managing your mail is that, if the computer on which your mail resides crashes, you lose all your mail also.

This method of managing mail has changed. Today, you no longer need POP3. It has been superseded by IMAP. You simply need a web browser to manage all your mail. First you sign up for an account with email providers such as yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc. With a browser, and Internet access, you simply login from anywhere to manage your mail.

The idea of managing mail from anywhere, is a form of cloud computing.

How about we extend the same idea to everything else you do on your computer, such as word processing, graphics design, playing games, etc?

This is what cloud computing is all about. Just as in the case of email, you just need a web browser to manage word processing, spreadsheets, graphics design, games, etc. Any files you create will be saved on the remote server. If your local computer crashes, you don't lose any data, since all your data resides on the server.

This style of computing is known as Cloud Computing. With cloud computing, you no longer need to install your own copy of Microsoft Office, media player, accounting software, etc. A web browser is all you need for everything. Since every computer has a browser, it means you can work from any computer.

This is where computing is headed today.

Cloud Computing is the new buzzword in the computer world. Now you know what it all means.
