Choosing Interventions
Purpose
The purpose of this session is to explore how a psychologist chooses empirically supported interventions.
Objective(s)
To describe how one chooses empirically supported interventions.
1. To identify sources of information about empirically supported interventions.
2. To explore the advantages of using interventions that are supported by research
3. To identify ways in which one can contribute to the literature about interventions
(Working with Juveniles in the Juvenile Court System)
Locate at least one resource that provides guidelines for choosing empirically supported interventions in your specialty area or for the setting where you are working or for clients with whom you work. Please list this resource in your post this week.
This week we will discuss choosing interventions. It is always important to be able to explain why you are doing whatever it is you choose to do in counseling or other psychological interventions.
How do you choose specific interventions? Where does theory fit into your choices? Where does the treatment/care plan, the diagnosis (if you use one), the goal and/or objective fit? Where does the concept of "best practice" fit in? To what degree are interventions chosen based on the characteristics of the client? Of the problem? Is there a "preferred" (or even mandated) theoretical approach at your site? Incorporate your practicum experience into your response. If citing a case, please take care to appropriate mask specific details e.g. client's demographic information.

Real Business
Let’s roll up our sleeves and use what we’ve learned this week in a real-life business situation. Each week, you’ll encounter a scenario where you will assume the role of a business person who works with or at a national discount retail store, like a Walmart or Target. These companies provide important, everyday staples for millions of people across the country and have become very successful businesses in the process.
Discount retail stores have locations in communities across the country. They often have strong and recognizable brands that are household names. We will explore how business works throughout this course by taking on a few of the many different roles at successful companies like these.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.

Testimonial guidelines
1. nuskintestimonialguidelinesforMarkets
The policies and procedures of Nu Skin require that all non-corporate produced marketing materials meet our Global Market-
ing standards and be approved prior to distributor use. We prefer that distributors use corporate materials and testimonials from
corporate initiatives (such as the Keep Your Age a Mystery Contest), however, we recognize the positive impact that high-quality
distributor testimonials contribute.
When submitting product and opportunity testimonials for the Global Testimonial folder on the CRD, please follow the basic
guidelines listed in this document. Please only submit testimonials that meet these Global Marketing guidelines and have been
legally approved for use in your markets. The corporate legal department will also review all testimonials before they are approved
or made available on the CRD.
Overall Objectives, Guidelines, and Principles
• All testimonials must be consistent with our policies and procedures, which require all distributor marketing materials to be ap-
proved by markets and corporate
• Representations and testimonials must be truthful and not misleading
• All testimonials must provide a realistic portrayal of the benefits, ensuring that most consumers may experience similar results
• Implied or explicit claims must be represented in a manner consistent with approved product claims
• Demonstrations (photos, testimonials) must be consistent with Nu Skin’s prestige brand standards and image (clean, fresh,
youthful, tasteful, professional, aspirational, etc.)
• Testimonials must disclose important facts that would be relevant to consumers making a buying decision
• Testimonials must disclose the Nu Skin distributor relationship
Before and After Photos
Before and after photos are powerful tools that show the positive impact Nu Skin products can have for the typical consumer.
However, they are considered to be “product performance claims” and, therefore, need to follow these guidelines.
1. In before and after photos, the following must be the same:
• Lighting
• Clothing
• Background
• Makeup (should be minimal, if any)
• Clarity and resolution
• Person’s body position, pose, angle of face, and facial
expression
2. Photos must accurately depict benefits that may be achieved by a typical consumer through actual product use.
3. Photos must only support legally approved product claims.
4. Photos must be accompanied by a caption that indicates what products were used, how long the products were used, the
frequency of application, any additional products used, the person’s name (first name and last initial is fine), and market. All
distributors must disclose that they are distributors.
5. Outrageous differences or dramatic improvements not likely to be achieved by a typical consumer will NOT be approved. We
know there are extraordinary results from time to time, but we cannot suggest that these extraordinary results may be achieved
by most or are to be regularly expected.
6. For photos showing weight loss product results or the ageLOC Galvanic Body Spa results, subjects must be good examples
of the Nu Skin brand, image, and high standards. Subjects must be dressed modestly and appropriately for the type of product
they are highlighting.
• Women should wear a swimsuit or workout clothing
• Men should wear workout clothing or swim trunks
7. For all before and after pictures, including half-face demos and body shots where one side was treated, it’s helpful to include
arrows that point out the areas of improvement.
8. Photos must be original and not retouched or modified with programs such as Photoshop.
The following is an example of an approved Before and After photo.

2. BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO SUBMISSIONS FOR AGELOC BODY AND WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS
It’s important for distributors to follow some general guidelines to ensure that photos provide a highly credible representation of
benefits and fit within Nu Skin’s corporate image and standards. ageLOC Body and weight loss photos should follow the same
requirements as before and after photos, with a few additional guidelines.
• Photos must be tasteful—women should wear swimsuits or shorts that cover their buttocks (no thongs); and men should wear
shorts. Excessively suggestive photos or those revealing too much skin may be rejected.
• Photos must look believable and be representative of what a typical consumer may achieve while using Nu Skin products—
before and after differences that look “too good to be true” will not be approved.
• For ageLOC Body testimonials, photos must show an approved targeted area (arms, abdomen, buttocks, or thighs). While the
buttock area is an approved target area, subjects must wear a swimsuit that appropriately covers the buttocks. Results can be
seen below the buttocks on the back of the upper thigh.
The following is an example of an approved ageLOC Body photo.

• Must contain the name of the product
• Must only make approved product claims
• Must include the person’s name and market
• Must be on point and concise
• Distributors must disclose that they are distributors
Written Opportunity Testimonials
Opportunity testimonials should be upbeat and motivational and describe how the Nu Skin business has positively impacted the
