The number of platforms for video consumption is growing as well, with mobile video becoming huge. Mary Meeker’s Internet Trends 2015 found that video accounts for 55% of all mobile traffic. That’s up almost 10% in just three years. CMI’s own research found that nearly 80% of B2B companies are using some form of video in their content marketing. This percentage has been steadily increasing over the last three years (70% in 2013, 73% in 2014, and 76% in 2015). So, how do today’s marketers rise above the noise? As we started to explore this question, three overarching challenges emerged: How do businesses empower themselves to create videos (cost effectively) in the first place? Once businesses are creating videos, how do they scale this ability across the business? Once businesses have a functional process for creating videos, how do they use this new skill to differentiate the content they’re producing? In short, how do marketers start smart, scale up, and stand out by using video as an intelligent piece of a content marketing approach?

Experimentation allows product managers to make decisions based on data rather than mere intuition. But too many teams don't know what to test, which leads to poorly designed experiments and unclear results. How can a product manager be certain they’re making effective decisions when it comes to experimentation? Join Holly Hester-Reilly, Founder and Product Management Coach at H2R Product Science, as she shares her approach to high-impact experimentation. She’ll walk us through the entire process, from deciding what to test to sharing the results with stakeholders, to illustrate what strong experimentation practices look like and how they can be implemented in every organization.

10.1177/1066480704270150THE FAMILY JOURNAL: COUNSELING AND THERAPY FOR COUPLES AND FAMILIES / January 2005Lambert / GAY AND LESBIAN FAMILIES ❖ Literature Review—Research Gay and Lesbian Families: What We Know and Where to Go From Here Serena Lambert Idaho State University The author reviewed the research on gay and lesbian parents and their children. The current body of research has been clear and consistent in establishing that children of gay and lesbian parents are as psychologically healthy as their peers from heterosexual homes. However, this comparison approach to research design appears to have limited the scope of research on gay and lesbian families, leav- ing much of the experience of these families yet to be investigated. Keywords: gay men; lesbians; parenting; families The relationships and family lives of gay and lesbian peo-ple have been the focus of much controversy in the past decade. The legal and social implications of gay and lesbian parents appear to have clearly affected the direction that researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology have taken in regard to these diverse families. As clinicians, educators, and researchers, counselors need to be aware of and involved with issues related to lesbian and gay family life for several reasons. First, our professional code of ethics charges us with the ethical responsibility to demonstrate a commit- ment to gaining knowledge, personal awareness, sensitivity, and skills significant for working with diverse populations (American Counseling Association, 1995; International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors, n.d.). Coun- selors are also in a unique position to advocate for diverse clients and families in their communities as well as in their practices but must possess the knowledge to do so effectively (Eriksen, 1999). It is believed that work in this area not only has the potential to affect the lives of our gay and lesbian clients and their children but also influences developmental and family theory and informs public policies for the future (Patterson, 1995, 2000; Savin-Williams & Esterberg, 2000). This article will review the recent research regarding families headed by gay men and lesbians. Studies reviewed include investigations of gay or lesbian versus homosexual parents, sources of diversity among gay and lesbian parents, and the personal and sociological development of the children of gay and lesbian parents. Implications for counselors as well as directions for future research will also be discussed. GAY AND LESBIAN PARENTS How Many Are Out There? Unfortunately, accurate statistics regarding the numbers of families headed by gay men and lesbians in our culture are difficult to determine. Due to fear of discrimination in one or more aspects of their lives, many gay men and lesbians have carefully kept their sexual orientation concealed—even from their own children in some cases (Huggins, 1989). Patterson (2000) noted that it is es.

10.1177/1066480703252339 ARTICLETHE FAMILY JOURNAL: COUNSELING AND THERAPY FOR COUPLES AND FAMILIES / July 2003Fall, Lyons / ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS ❖ Ethics Ethical Considerations of Family Secret Disclosure and Post-Session Safety Management Kevin A. Fall Christy Lyons Loyola University—New Orleans The ethical issues involved in the disclosure of family secrets in therapy have been addressed in the literature, but the focus has typically been on secrets disclosed in individual sessions. The literature largely ignores the ethical issues surrounding in-session disclosure and the concomitant liability of the family therapist for the post-session well-being of the system’s members. This article explores types of family secrets, provides a case example of in-session disclosure, and presents ethical considerations and practice recommendations. Keywords: family secrets; ethics; confidentiality; abuse; safety A family without secrets is like a two-year-old without tantrums: a rarity. Virtually every family has secrets involving academic problems, relationship dynamics, or even various illegalities. Secrets permeate the family system before therapy begins, but with the introduction of the therapist, the system begins to change. The therapist ideally creates an environment that challenges the boundaries and rules of the system; this is the nature of therapy. As a result of the sense of safety within the session, it is conceivable that a family member may disclose information that has been hidden for a wide variety of reasons. Any unearthing of hidden material will create a disequilibrium within the system. Family thera- pists are trained to handle the consequences of such a disclosure in session and ethically lay the groundwork for timely disclosures. Dealing with this disclosure and its impact on the system often becomes the primary focus of the therapy, as the perturbation caused by the disclosure can serve as a catalyst to reorganize the system. However, not all information is disclosed at the “perfect time.” In fact, the idiosyncratic internal sensing of safety by any member of the family may trigger a disclosure prema- turely. Secrets are such an omnipresent dynamic in the life of family systems that it seems unlikely that any family therapist could avoid untimely disclosures. Even in these unpredict- able moments, a disclosure creates a disequilibrium that can be productive in the therapy process as the secret and the process of maintaining the secret are worked through in an atmosphere of trust and safety. The ethical question here is two-fold: What is the therapist’s responsibility in preparing the family members for the potential risks of counseling that may arise from such disclosures, and what is the responsibility of the family therapist to maintain the safety of the members after a disclosure? Although the International Association of Marriage and Family Counselors’ (IAMFC).

RATIONAL CHOICE, SELF-CONTROL, AND CRIME BRADLEY R. E. WRIGHT AVSHALOM CASPI TERRIE E. MOFFITT RAY PATERNOSTER Society’s efforts to deter crime with punishment may be ineffective because those individuals most prone to commit crime often act impulsively, with little thought for the future, and so they may be unmoved by the threat of later punishment. Deterrence mes- sages they receive, therefore, may fall on deaf ears. This article examines this issue by testing the relationship between criminal propensity, perceived risks and costs of punishment, and criminal behavior. The authors analyzed data from the Dunedin (New Zealand) Study, a longitudinal study of individuals from birth through age 26 (N = 1,002). They found that in fact, deterrence perceptions had their greatest impact on criminally prone study members. Keywords: deterrence theory; criminal propensity Society controls its members by threatening punishments, both formal, such as arrest and imprisonment, and informal, such as social disapproval and withholding of resources. Policymakers, as well as the general public, have widely accepted the punishment-as-deterrence doctrine (Liska and Messner 1999), and so the punishment of criminals, more than other, positive We thank the Dunedin Study members, their parents, teachers, and peer informants, Dunedin Unit Director Richie Poulton, and Study founder Phil Silva.

Of particular significance is the question, Does the threat of punishment differ according to a person’s motivation or propensity to commit crime? There are three basic, though seemingly contradictory, answers to this question that can be derived from the existing literature: (1) All individuals resp.

The weakness of traditional program models that are collections of largely unrelated courses reinforce this low regard. This article argues that we have learned a great deal about how to create stronger, more effective teacher education programs. Three critical components of such programs include tight coher- ence and integration among courses and between course work and clinical work in schools, extensive and intensely supervised clinical work integrated with course work using pedagogies linking theory and practice, and closer, proactive relationships with schools that serve diverse learners effectively and develop and model good teaching. Also, schools of education should resist pressures to water down preparation, which ultimately undermine the preparation of entering teachers, the reputation of schools of education, and the strength of the profession. Keywords: field-based experiences; foundations of education; student teaching; supervision; theories of teacher education The previous articles have articulated a spectac- ular array of things that teachers should know and be able to do in their work. These include understanding many things about how people learn and how to teach effectively, including aspects of pedagogical content knowledge that in- corporate language, culture, and community contexts for learning. Teachers also need to understand the person, the spirit, of every child and find a way to nurture that spirit. And they need the skills to construct and manage class- room activities efficiently, communicate well, use technology, and reflect on their practice to learn from and improve it continually. The importance of powerful teaching is increasingly important in contemporary society. Standards for learning are now higher than they have ever been before, as citizens and workers need greater knowledge and skill to survive and succeed. Education is increasingly important to the success of both individuals and nations, and growing evidence demonstrates that—among all educational resources—teachers’ abilities are especially crucial contributors t o s t u d e n t s ’ le a r n i n g . F u r t h e r m o re , t h e demands on teachers are increasing. Teachers need not only to be able to keep order and provide useful information to students but also to be increasingly effective in enabling a diverse group of students to learn ever more complex material. In previous decades, they were expected to prepare only a small minority for ambitious intellectual work, whereas they are now expected to prep.

Westefeld The University of Iowa Carolyn Heckman-Stone Iowa State University Crisis intervention is a role that fits exceedingly well with counseling psychologists’ interests and skills. This article provides an overview of a new crisis intervention model, the Integrated Problem-Solving Model (IPSM), and demonstrates its application to a specific crisis, sexual assault. It is hoped that this article will encourage counseling psychologists to become more involved in crisis intervention itself as well as in research and training in this important area. Recently, significant crisis events (e.g., sexual assaults, school shootings, terrorist attacks, and other violent crimes) have received major media attention. This has led, among other things, to an increased interest in this topic as a subspecialty among human service providers (James & Gilliland, 2001). In addition, it appears that we live in an increasingly fast-paced and technologi- cal society in which individuals may be less connected with family and other positive influences than in the past (Pitcher & Poland, 1992). Mental health professionals need to be prepared to help society cope with such crises, and counseling psychologists are particularly well suited for this type of intervention. Coping with life transitions, a major focus of counseling psychology throughout its history, sometimes involves the successful negotiation of crises (Brown & Lent, 2000). Counseling psychologists are particularly skilled in promoting self-enhancement among relatively healthy individuals, which is often the case in crisis situations. In addition, crisis intervention matches well with counseling psychologists’ skills at implementing brief, problem- solving, developmental, educational, and self-empowering intervention approaches. Relatively few articles have been published in The Counseling Psycholo- gist concerning crisis intervention and the role of the counseling psycholo- 221 Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to John S.

Indeed, we believe that the field of counseling psychology has not his- torically seen itself as working extensively in this area. Interestingly, in 1979—more than 20 years ago—Baldwin published an excellent manuscript in The Counseling Psychologist, wherein he reviewed crisis theory, discussed types of crises, and described his own stage model of crisis intervention. Baldwin’s model consisted of the following major steps: catharsis/assess- m.

10 What does a golfer, tennis player or cricketer (or any other professional sportsperson) focus on to achieve high performance? They nearly always give the same answer: “Repeat my process (that is the process they have practised a million times) – replicate it under real pressure and trust in my ability” That’s why Matthew Lloyd throws the grass up under the roof at Etihad Stadium. It is why Ricky Ponting taps the bat, looks down, looks up and mouths “watch the ball”. It’s unnecessary for Matthew Lloyd to toss the grass. There’s no wind under the roof – it’s simply a routine that enables him to replicate his process under pressure. Ricky Pointing knows you have to watch the ball. Ponting wants the auto pilot light in his brain to fl ick on as he mutters “watch the ball”. High performance in sport is achieved through focusing on your processes, not the scores. It is absolutely no different in local government. Our business is governance and we need to be focusing very hard on our governance processes. We need to learn these processes, modify them when necessary, understand them deeply, repeat them under pressure and trust in our capabilities to deliver. If we do that, the scores will look after themselves. I want to share with you my ten most important elements in the governance process. Let me fi rst say that good governance is the set of processes, protocols, rules, relationships and behaviours which lead to consistently good decisions. In the end good governance is good decisions. You could make lots of good decisions without good governance. But you will eventually run out of luck – eventually, bad governance process will lead to bad decisions. Consistently good decisions come from good governance processes and practices. Good governance is not only a prerequisite for consistently good decisions, it is almost the sole determinant of your reputation. The way you govern, the ‘vibe’ in the community and in the local paper about the way you govern is almost the sole determinant of your reputation. Believe me, if reputation matters to you, then drive improvements through good governance. So here are the ten core elements: 1. THE COUNCIL PLAN An articulate council plan is a fundamental fi rst step to achieving your goals. It is your set of promises to your community for a four-year term. Unfortunately, there are too many wrong plans: • Claytons Plans – say too little and are too bland. Delete the name of the council from these plans and you can’t tell whose it is! There’s no ‘vibe’ at all. • Agreeable Plans – where everyone gets their bit in the plan. There’s no sense of priorities, everyone agrees with everything in the plan and we save all the real fi ghts and confl icts to be fought out one by one over the four-year term. • Opposition-creating Plans – we don’t do this so often but we sometimes ‘use the numbers’ to enable the dominant group of councillors to achieve their goals and fail to a.

This research focus has been fueled by increased societal expectations for individuals with ID, advocacy efforts, and legislative priorities (e.g., strengthened accountability standards). Findings from this body of work indicate that children and adolescents with ID can obtain higher levels of reading achievement than previously anticipated (Allor, Mathes, Roberts, Cheatham, & Al Otaiba, 2014). Recent research also suggests that the historic focus on functional reading (e.g., signs, restaurant words) for this population of learners is likely too limited of a focus for many (Browder et al., 2009). Research outcomes suggest that integrating components of traditional reading instruction (e.g., phonics, phonemic awareness) into programs for students with ID will lead to increases in independent reading skills for many (Allor, Al Otaiba, Ortiz, & Folsom, 2014). These increased reading abilities are likely to lead to greater postsecondary outcomes, including employment, independence, and quality of life. Unfortunately, many teachers remain unsure of how to best design and deliver reading intervention for students with ID. We offer a set of 10 research-based tips for special education teachers, general education teachers, and other members of IEP teams to consider when planning literacy instruction for students with ID in order to maximize student outcomes. For each tip, we describe our rationale for the recommendation and provide implementation guidance. Our Literacy Instruction and Support Planning Tool can be used by team members to organize information to guide planning. Our aim is to provide educators and IEP team members with a framework for reflecting on current reading practices in order to make research-based adjustments that are likely to improve student outcomes. The Conceptual Model of Literacy Browder and colleagues (2009) proposed a conceptual model for early literacy instruction for students with severe developmental disabilities. We believe their framework provides guidance for designing and delivering literacy instruction for all students wit.

10 Most Common Errors in Suicide Assessment/Intervention Robert Neimeyer & Angela Pfeiffer 1. Avoidance of Strong Feelings – Diverting discussions away from powerful, intense emotion and toward a more abstract or intellectualized exchange. These responses keep interactions on a purely cognitive level and prevent exploration of the more profound feelings of distress, which may hold the key to successful treatment. Do not retreat to professionalism, advice-giving, or passivity when faced with intense depression, grief, or fear. • Do not analyze and ask why they feel that way. • USE empathy! “With all the hurt you’ve been experiencing it must be impossible to hold those tears in.” • Tears and sobbing are often met with silence of tangential issues instead of putting into words what the client is mutely expressing: “With all the pain you’re feeling, it must be impossible to hold those tears in.” • “I don’t think anyone really cares whether I live or die.” Helpers often shift to discussing why/asking questions as opposed to reflecting emotional content. 2. Superficial Reassurance – trivial responses to clients’ expressions of acute distress and hopelessness can do more harm than good. Rather than reassuring clients, these responses risk alienating them and deepening their feelings of being isolated in their distress. • Attempts to emphasize more positive or optimistic aspects of the situation: “But you’re so young and have so much to live for!” • Premature offering of a prepackaged meaning for the client’s difficulties: “Well life works in mysterious ways. Maybe this is life’s way of challenging you.” • Directly contradicting the client’s protest of anguish: “Things can’t be all that bad.” 3. Professionalism – Insulating or protecting by distancing and detaching from the brutal, exhausting realities of clients’ lives by seeking refuge in the comfortable boundaries of role definition. The exaggerated air of objectivity/disinterest implies a hierarchical relationship, which may disempower the client. Although intended to put a person at ease, this can come across as disinterest or hierarchical. Empathy is a more facilitative response. • “My thoughts are so awful I could never tell anyone” is often met with, “You can tell me. I’m a professional” as opposed to the riskier, empathic reply. 4. Inadequate Assessment of Suicidal Intent – Implicit negation of suicide threat by responding to indirect and direct expressions of risk with avoidance or reassurance rather than a prompt assessment of the level of intent, planning, and lethality. Most common among physicians and master’s level counselors – due to time pressures, personal theories or discomfort with intense feelings. • What they’ve been thinking, For how long, Specific plans/means, Previous attempts 1 • “There’s nowhere left to turn” and “I’d be better off dead” should be met with “You sound so miserable.

10 Introduction Ask any IT manager about the challenges in conveying IT risks in terms of business risks, or about translating business goals into IT goals. It’s a common difficulty, as the worlds of business and IT do not inherently align. This lack of alignment was unresolved until ISACA developed a framework called COBIT, first released in 1996. ISACA is an IT professionals’ association centered on auditing and IT governance. This lab will focus on the COBIT framework. The lab uses the latest two versions: COBIT 4.1, which is currently the most implemented version, and COBIT 5, which is the latest version released in June 2012. Because COBIT 4.1 is freely available at the time of this writing, the lab uses this version to present handling of risk management. Presentation is done making use of a set of COBIT control objectives called P09. COBIT P09’s purpose is to guide the scope of risk management for an IT infrastructure. The COBIT P09 risk management controls help organize the identified risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, enabling you to manage and remediate them. This lab will also present how COBIT shifts from the term “control objectives” to a set of principles and enablers in version 5. In this lab, you will define COBIT P09, you will describe COBIT P09’s six control objectives, you will explain how the threats and vulnerabilities align to the definition for the assessment and management of risks, and you will use COBIT P09 to determine the scope of risk management for an IT infrastructure. Learning Objectives Upon completing this lab, you will be able to: Define what COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology) P09 risk management is for an IT infrastructure. Describe COBIT P09’s six control objectives that are used as benchmarks for IT risk assessment and risk management. Explain how threats and vulnerabilities align to the COBIT P09 risk management definition for the assessment and management of IT risks. Use the COBIT P09 controls as a guide to define the scope of risk management for an IT infrastructure. Apply the COBIT P09 controls to help organize the identified IT risks, threats, and vulnerabilities.

10 Customer Acquisition and Relationship Management Dmitry Kalinovsky/iStock/Thinkstock Patronage by loyal customers yields 65 percent of a typical business’ volume. —American Management Association Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following: • Identify how organizational growth is best achieved by an HCO, and state the effect of the product life cycle on an organization’s revenues. • Discuss several approaches that an HCO can use to attract new customers, or patients. • Delineate the premises upon which customer relationship management is based. • Explain the advantages of database marketing, and identify ways for an organization to use a marketing database. • Provide examples of how an HCO can effectively manage real and virtual customer interactions. Section 10.1Organizational Growth Introduction This chapter focuses on how to attract and keep patients through understanding and meeting their needs. The long-term success of an HCO depends on its ability to attract new patients and turn them into loyal customers who not only return for needed services, but recommend the HCO’s services to others. This is especially important because of the nature of the life cycle for products and services, from their introduction to their decline. Attracting new customers and keeping existing ones involves interacting internally and externally with patients, analyz- ing data on current patients, and managing real and virtual interactions with patients. Manag- ing relationships with patients helps to ensure that patients stay informed and feel connected to the HCO through its internal and external customer relationship efforts. 10.1 Organizational Growth Most organizations have growth as a basic goal. Growth means an increase in revenue and a greater impact on the communities served. Growth also creates opportunities for staff to advance and take on new responsibilities. While many activities can help an HCO grow, the most important is the development of an effective marketing plan to provide a consistent platform for the organization’s visibility and to brand the HCO as an attractive option for medical services. The development of an effective marketing plan was stressed in Chapter 8 as a basic marketing need for an HCO: that is, to inform new and existing customers of the organization’s services and to persuade them to continue using or to try using these services. Product/Service Life Cycles Like people, products and services have a life cycle. The term product life cycle refers to the stages that a product or service goes through from the time it is introduced until it is taken off the market or “dies.” The stages of the product life cycle, illustrated in Figure 10.1, usually include the following descriptions: • Introduction—The stage of researching, developing, and launching the product or service. • Growth—The stage when revenues are increasing at a fast rate. • M.

10 ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE (FROM A TO Z) 1 PLOT (series of events which make-up a story) A 5-POINT PLOT SEQUENCE: Exposition: initial part of a story where readers are exposed to setting and characters. Situation: event in the story which kicks the action forward and begs for an outcome. Complication: difficulties faced by characters as they experience internal and external conflicts. Climax: watershed moment when it becomes apparent that major conflicts will be resolved. Resolution: (Denouement): tying up of the loose ends of the story. B SUB-PLOTS: PLOTS BENEATH AND AROUND THE MAJOR PLOT. Foreshadowing: hints and clues of plot. Flashback: portion of a plot when a character relives a past experience. Frame story: plot which begins in the present, quickly goes to the past for story, then returns. Episodic plot: a large plot sequence that is made up of a series of minor plot sequences. Plausibility: likelihood that certain events within a plot can occur. Soap Opera: multiple stories told along the sequence and spaced to sustain continual interest. 2 POINT OF VIEW (eyes through which a story is told) C First Person major (participant major): narrator is the major character in the story. First Person minor (participant minor): narrator is a minor character in the story. Third Person omniscient (non-participant omniscient): narrator is outside the story and capable of seeing into the heart, mind and motivations of all characters. Third Person limited (non-participant limited): narrator is outside the story and capable of seeing, at most, into the heart, mind, and motivations of one character. Narrator is objective if not omniscient. 3 SETTING (time and place of a story, both physical and psychological) D Physical (external) Setting: the time and place of a story, general and specific. Psychological (internal) Setting: mood, tone, and temper of story. E Major Tempers: Romanticism: man is free to choose against moral, spiritual backdrops. If you make good decisions, you will be rewarded. There is a God that is in control Existentialism: man is free to choose absent backdrops other than his own. If he feels it is right, then it is right. Naturalism: man is largely trapped, a cog in the impersonal machinery. He has no real way of changing his circumstances. Realism: eclectic view, but leaning toward the naturalistic position. Sometimes good things happen to bad people, and sometimes bad things happen to good people. That is just the way it is. F Other Tempers: Classicism: Man is free, but appears to be trapped due to conflicting codes. Transcendentalism: Offshoot of romanticism, nature is a window to divine. Nihilism: Fallout of either extreme existentialism or naturalism. Life is horrible and painful. It lacks meaning. 4 CONFLICT (nature of the problems faced) G Four Universal Conflicts: Person versus self Pe.
