This study examines the hypothesis that psychological interventions have beneficial effects on quality of life including psychological well-being and disease progression in early HIV patients recieving no medication.
Condition | Intervention |
HIV Infected Individuals |
Behavioral: Self-hypnosis Behavioral: Johrei - a Japanese stress management system |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind Primary Purpose: Educational/Counseling/Training |
Official Title: | The Effects of Two Psychological Intervention Techniques, Self-Hypnosis and Johrei Healing Method, on Quality of Life, Psychological Well-Being, EEG Measures and Various Immunological Measures Including CD4+ Counts in Early HIV: a Randomly Controlled Pilot Study |
- CD4 T-cell counts
- Other immunological parameters (Viral load levels, NK cell counts)
- Psychological questionnaires (Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), STAI, Beck depression Inventory (BDI))
- Endogenous hormone levels (cortisol, DHEA-S and melatonin)
Estimated Enrollment: | 100 |
Study Start Date: | June 2003 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2004 |
Hypothesis: This investigation is based upon the hypothesis that psychological intervention may counteract the detrimental effects of stress both on psychological well-being and on general health.
Background: HIV infection may be considered to be a life-long biological and psychological stressor leading to detrimental outcomes associated with disease progression. Stress reduction in these patients may have beneficial effects through delaying disease progression via the proposed interactive psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune network.
Inclusion Criteria:
HIV infected individuals CD4 T-cell counts above 200 cells/mcl Receiving no anti-retroviral drugs Individuals who signed the informed consent form
Investigative approach: Self-hypnosis and a Japanese non-touching, laying-on-of hands-like technique, called Johrei, were used to investigate the effects of psychological intervention upon immune parameters (especially in CD4 counts) associated with disease progression along with phenomenological associations between stress perception and stress hormone levels in HIV-infected patients receiving no medication.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 20 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV infected
- CD4 T-cell counts above 200 cells/mcl
- Signed the informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
- receiving anti-retroviral drugs

Hydra-C Facial Exfoliating Gel
This is a very good, fragrance-free cleanser that also functions as a scrub.
Hydra-C Double Action Cleansing + Exfoliating Cloths
The fragrance-free formula is gentle and relies on a mix of oil and mild cleansing to leave skin smooth and clean.

Marcelle At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; Marcelle provides complete ingredient lists on its Web site; drugstores that retail this brand provide testers, including makeup testers; almost every product is fragrance-free; some good cleansers and makeup removers; impressive eyeshadows; great lipsticks and lip glosses.
Weaknesses: The hypoallergenic claims are misleading because this claim isn't regulated and there are no standards governing its use; formaldehyde-releasing preservatives not recommended for those with sensitive skin; the anti-acne products are mostly alcohol, which is damaging to skin and can increase oil production, making acne worse; dated moisturizer formulas; some greasy cleansers; a general lack of state-of-the-art ingredients; foundations with sunscreen do not provide sufficient UVA protection; average to poor mineral makeup; no shades for those with tan or darker complexions; mostly lackluster mascaras.
Nestled among the flashier lines filling the shelves and display cases in Canadian drugstores is this unassuming, attractively priced skin-care and makeup product line. The packaging is simple and the message clear: These are "hypoallergenic and perfume-free," ergo great for sensitive skin. In reality the claim that these products are hypoallergenic isn't accurate in the least—much like Almay—but that claim is Marcelle's major selling point.
First, the term "hypoallergenic" is not regulated; that is, there are no standards in place for that term so a cosmetics company can attribute hypoallergenic to any product they want, regardless of the ingredients. The second point is that even the most scrupulous company, even if it takes the greatest care about what ingredients it includes in its products, simply cannot know what your skin may be allergic to. Marcelle showcases the elimination of "perfume," (aka fragrance) but fragrance is not the only potential culprit in a cosmetic formulation. And third, allergic reactions are not the primary problems that a cosmetic can impart to skin. Irritation is far more pernicious and, indeed, many of Marcelle's products contain ingredients that have a high potential for causing irritation, such as alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (e.g., imidazolidinyl urea, DMDM hydantoin, and Quaternium 15; one of their products even contains hydrochloric acid. (Can you believe that?!) Irritating skin-care ingredients not only cause free-radical damage but also lead to an increase in oil production in the pore and break down collagen.
Aside from the erroneous claims, Marcelle hasn't kept up to speed with their formulas in comparison to several other lines at the drugstore. You can easily find moisturizers from other lines that have far more elegant textures and formulas teeming with beneficial ingredients just not from Marcelle. Almost every product Marcelle sells is woefully out of date; their rudimentary formulas are akin to using a typewriter instead of a computer.
Color-wise, you'll find the foundation, concealer, and powder shade ranges are limited to those with fair to medium skin tones. Although it's great that the Marcelle displays provide testers for the makeup, much of it is better left alone. There are some high points, particularly the powder eyeshadows, lipstick, and lip glosses, but the mascaras are barely exciting, the pencils all need sharpening, and the powder blush fails to impress.
All told, Marcelle is best viewed as a line with a few sleeper products worth checking out at price points that won't stress most consumers' budgets, although a few dollars more will get you infinitely better options.

Trials are a way of life in many industries either as a part of new product development (apparently only 5% of new product development makes it to a final marketed product) or as part of the continuous improvement process (think of how Dyson has changed the vacuum cleaner to a bag less cyclone system with a ball rather than wheels). It is no different in brewing.

New Law Compels Toronto Shops To Sell Only Shelter Pets
In an effort to curb puppy and kitty mills, the Toronto city council approved a new resolution that restricts the kinds of pets shops can sell. Now, pet shops will only be allowed to sell dogs and cats that come from a shelter, a Humane Society or a registered rescue group.
The National Post reports on the reaction of one of the people behind the law:
"I think we're the second major municipality in Canada to do this, so that from coast to coast, we're going to protect dogs across this country," said a jubilant Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, who had championed the partial ban.
"For all intents and purposes we've shut the taps to the puppy mills at retail locations in Toronto. We won't eliminate them because people will still sell at Kajiji and there is other ways to sell puppy mill dogs, so those evil people will continue but there's a lot less demand for their product," said Mr. De Baeremaeker. "Eventually, hopefully, there won't be any puppy mills at all."
Dan Karpenchuk reports for NPR's Newscast that the ban comes after news of a massive puppy mill bust in Quebec. Karpenchuk filed this report:
More than 500 dogs were taken from the mill by authorities in what could represent the largest case of animal cruelty in Quebec's history. The animals are now in the care of Humane Society. Many of them are suffering from skin and respiratory problems. A representative of the society says the operation involved some of the worst conditions she's ever seen.
It's just the kind of tragedy that prompted the action by Toronto's city council. Many animal rights activists hope the action by the country's largest city will furhter the movement to ban or restrict pets being sold in shops across Canada.

Name: "Big Show" Paul Wight
Height and Weight: 7' and 441 pounds.
Born: February 8, 1972 in Aiken, South Carolina
Signature Moves: Chokeslam; Knockout Punch; Colossal Clutch
WWE Debut: 1995
Titles Held: Big Show is a 1x ECW World Heavyweight Champion, 1 x World Champion, 5x World Tag Team Champion, 1x WWE Intercontinental Champion, 1x WWE United States Champion, 3x WWE Tag Team Champion, 2x WWE/E Champion, 3x WWF Hardcore Champion. He was also the Twenty-fourth Triple Crown Champion, and the Twelfth Grand Slam Champion.
What'd You Say?:
Did you just call that Fathead Junior a poster?! The Big Show Press Slam - Junior is way better than a poster. When did WWE posters or stickers give you the magnitude and attitude that the Big Show Press Slam - Junior gives? You can move and reuase a Fathead junior; it's tough, but it won't hurt your wall.
No matter the size of your passion, this Big Show Press Slam - Junior wall decal will make you say, "WOW! That's no WWE poster. That's a Fathead Junior!"
What Is A Fathead Junior?: Fathead Jr. has all the fun action and real-life details of our REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphics in a more space-friendly size. Fathead Jr. fits all kinds of spaces including doors, fridges, windows, tables, dorm rooms, etc. Kids can put them up and move them with ease. Fathead Jr. makes a great complement to Fathead Real.Big. Wall Decals.
What It's Made Of: This Fathead Jr. Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you tremble, worry no more, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be easily moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a minute and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Fathead Juniors are the perfect fan decor for smaller spaces such as doors, fridges, windows, desks, tables, dorm rooms or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces, it may stick at first but it will likely not stay there for very long. Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself because your Fathead will not let go without a fight.

Applying REAL.BIG. Fathead decals that require the rub on transfer application requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, they are not movable or reusable so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the buttons below:

Re: Critical Mass
CM is not a protest movement, just a bunch of people who get together to go for a ride. There are no causes, policies nor representatives - just a love of riding bikes. Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Critical Mass
That's a terrible way to present the group Pete. I understand from their movement site that they do have an objective. If they didn't and also deliberately cause traffic delay, then they really have no more defence of their action. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Critical Mass
In among the tumbleweeds
In short, critical mass don't set out to achieve anything & so far they have met that objective, much like "occupy Sydney". Perhaps we should ask Nobody, apparently he organises it in Sydney
. . . . . . .
Re: Critical MassWell, you can tell why I didn't want to be part of this debate.
Re: Critical Mass
I can't believe he's associated with them, but then again Nobody's perfect!
Re: Critical Mass
Occupy doesn't interfere with the general public (apart from their use of space and visual impact) and has a clear message. It's also a sore for the wealthy and ruling elites in the society. CM is not in the same league. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Critical MassCritical Mass is a hard one - I understand that to make a change you need to get noticed and CM has this, it is radical and while this means it gets noticed, it often strays from being an acceptable protest. As times change, progression is key. I havn't been on a Critical Mass for well over a decade and don't see the concept and principles evolving with the times. I still picture loonies who go beyond the principles of making a stance to being aggresive and putting themselves in dangerous situations, ' standing infront of oncoming traffic on the habour bridge to make a point' rather then keeping to one or two lanes. I have also seen an overreaction of authorities, throwing people in paddy wagons who have not broken laws but are part of the group (who are acting lawfully) so are thus deemed to be a general disturbance despite their legal right to ride a bike on city streets.
In short, it can be enjoyable, it can be ruined by idiots, conceptually it needs to evolve. Help me Raise $5000 in my Adelaide to Darwin charity ride: TourXOz Details and Fundraising
Re: Critical Mass
And respected for it! Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Critical Mass
They are not loonies. I am starting to get less and less amazed at how conservative and how different and cohort is found on BNA forums vs the actual cyclist cohort. These aren't loonies involved in critical mass, these are regular cyclists. There is a whole another world of cycling out there beyond the constrained cohort of road cycling. It is sad that there is such a rift, you can see this on MHLs and other such topics. Just saying...
Re: Critical MassHopefully some people will go on the rides today and report back on their findings.
Motorists hate cyclists and cyclists hate the motorists and the pedestrians hate the bikers and everybody hates the trucks.
Re: Critical Mass
He didn't say they were loonies, he said "I still picture loonies" and I think he has hit the nail on the head. If you assume that Critical Mass has evolved and is no longer what it was, then it still has a major problem with how it is perceived. The fact is people still picture loonies being aggressive and disruptive. If CM wants to help cycling rather than hinder it then they need a re branding, their past is inescapable.
Re: Critical Mass
CM is not a public relations firm or large corporation. 'Branding' doesn't really enter the picture. "Loonies being aggressive and disruptive" = any cyclist who doesn't stick to singe file (in the minds of most drivers) Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Critical MassBut, CM does suffer from that perception. Even if it isn't warranted any more, they do still have the perception and they need some big PR efforts to change that and give it a good image. I'd love to see it not only advocate for its usual stuff, but also be a vehicle to get more people into cycling. Despite the image of being aggressive, not all cyclists are like that. Most of them I meet are really friendly.
That perception I think is what the chief of this site was hinting at. This topic even suggests that CM still polarises opinions, given the robust debate on the issue here.
Re: Critical Mass
What topic doesn't around here? Saying that CM suffers from a image or branding problem silly. As long as you are appealing to your target market then their is no branding problem. (Their target market is NOT all cyclists, it simply cannot cover that range.) It is like saying that Bathurst (the car race) suffers from an image problem. Those that love the culture don't see a problem. Those that dislike the culture perceive a problem. I'm sure many would CM would find lycra clad culture not appealing.

Re: Critical MassFor clarification (and thanks Alien27) most participants on the critical mass events are well behaved.
There were always the odd few people who I call loonies who went to far, the specific example when the Critical Mass went over the Habour Bridge and 99% of cyclists were content to keep left, these are the ones who felt it necessary to stop oncoming traffic - i.e. without the critical mass. In my view the grassroots action was probably more effective - we would print hundreds of flyers and hand them out to drivers - this starts a dialogue where we would briefly explain that we won't be too long 'thanks for their patience' and would more often than not is a friendly encounter - it is a protest.

Re: Critical Mass
Its not silly when the question I'm trying to answers was the OP's original one; "Are they (CM) helping or hindering cycling?" they need a re-branding if they are going to help cycling, otherwise their past and the public perception of them just makes it near imposable for them to get their message through. i would also imaging that no cyclists are their primary target market. Targeting cyclists would preaching to the converted wouldn't it?
Whether CM's branding enterers the picture or not in their eyes doesn't mean its not a problem for them.
Re: Critical MassI think our version as I described earlier is a fair example of where you can take critical mass. Well it might be an option for smaller cities/towns because the "mass" side of it has less to no impact on other road users. The most I have seen on ours in the time Ive been going is around 70. That was when it was promoted a bit via a blog and flyers. Ive been on rides in winter with 6 people.
The point is to turn up, enjoy yourself. Its nice having a chat to people, it can be a good grapevine to what is going on with cycling issues around the place. We get more positive response than negative on the road. The fact that 15people riding bikes together around the city stands out so much that peds will stop to watch or point phones. That's all we are trying to change, that groups of bikes on the road is an unusual sight. Well apart from roadies in training bunches but they don't count because they wear lycra Like the Penguins at the end of Madagascar.....Just smile and wave boys...smile and wave
Re: Critical Mass
You are presently making a PR statement defending CM. PR is everywhere and does not have to be a firm or large corporation. Bianchi, Ridley, Montague, GT, Garmin and All things Apple
Re: Critical Mass
We all have different perceptions of what "cycling" is and what "helping cycling is". Sometimes I don't think the obsession with lycra, strava, speed and bunch helps the "cycling brand".
Who said they are trying to preach to non cyclists? Who said they are trying to preach?
Re: Critical Mass
I dont disagree with any of that
Its a figure of speech... you suggested that their target market was cyclists, I was just making the point that considering one of their broader aims seems to be educating people about sustainable transport and sharing the road, then you would imagine that their target audience wouldn't be bikes as that would be say educating the educated, no? I may have become aware of them and made my mind up about them when they were at their 'worst' as it were. It may have been just a bad period in their history with a few outliers causing a lot of trouble and giving them a bad name. I didn't even know they were still active and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that now they are a much better behaved group. I still think they would do well to drop the Critical Mass name though, there's a lot of baggage out there associated with that name. I think i have had more than my fair 2c here and will bow out now.
Re: Critical Mass
Branding isn't necessarily a concept limited to business. Branding is an abstract idea that essentially relates to public perceptions combined with the story behind the name. You have a personal brand. Where you work has a corporate brand. Charities have brands. You can appropriate a brand to almost anything. CM certainly does have a brand. Whether or not they are in need of a re-brand: I don't know, probably. I know very little about CM and I'm a cyclist. I can't help but think that your average person knows nothing about CM. One would think they need a refresh, to go back to their values and goals and think about how to actually achieve them. Then create a brand surrounding it, one that both appeals to cyclists and makes sense to the general public.
Re: Critical MassSilly me.......I kind of thought that the name "Critical Mass" indicated the aim of the group.
As in getting enough cyclists riding together to form a "critical mass" of sufficient numbers of cyclists to cause maximum effect on other traffic on their route. I therefore see no problem with their brand, as it describes what they do........just can't see how their actions benefit cycling. However I can see how their actions could make more motorists dislike cyclists as a group.
Re: Critical Mass
That is all part of their brand. Brand isn't just about name. It's about the story behind the name, the public perception, etc. Most brand names mean nothing or very little when separated from the brand. Nike, Vans, Trek, Colnago, etc. Each have different stories. The story that CM is trying to tell is pretty fragmented. Sure they are trying to achieve a critical mass - but how, why. And how will it benefit people -why should people get involved. ETc etc so on and so forth.
Re: Critical MassActually, despite all the low keyed representation in this thread, Critical Mass is in fact a multi-national brand, stretching from North America to Euroland and many many other parts of the developed/developing world. Followers count in tens of thousands. All true!

It is our dedication to our customers and franchisees that has made us the most powerful automotive franchise in the industry.
We provide multiple franchise programs to fit most investment levels and situations. Region Developer Program: Strong six-figure income potential. This program allows a developer to obtain a larger territory with the intention of selling and developing future Honest-1 franchises. A Region Developer will pay a franchise fee for the right to own the area as well as develop and service a specific number of centers. In return the developer receives a percentage of the initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties. We want the RD to focus 100% on selling and opening unit franchises so we do not require the RDs to open a unit. Each RD has a development timetable within which to sell unit franchises in their exclusive territory.
New Franchisees: Little or no industry knowledge? No problem. We provide an extensive and ongoing training program for new and existing businesses. We will also work with real estate developers and have you up and running in a new "build-to-suit" center.

Region Developer: A strong sales ability sales and/or marketing background with management experience is needed. The developer should be an extrovert and networker who is money motivated. They should be good at multi-tasking and have the ability to coach owners. Unit Owners: An automotive background is helpful but not required. Solid business acumen with marketing aptitude is required, as well as the ability to motivate staff and supervise day-to-day operations. The owner will spend 50% of their time in the center, and 50% networking, marketing and developing fleet accounts.

A little help goes a long way
Derrick Rollins remembers that the transition to college wasn't easy. He needed help to succeed in and out of the classroom. It's something he's been paying back ever since.
Derrick uses his own college experiences to help make first-year students studying chemical engineering feel like they belong. That's why he's a mentor and has created several organizations like the Summer Program for Enhancing Engineering Development. It's a program that works like an internship to prepare students for their freshman year.
This September Derrick was honored for helping students with a national Tau Beta Pi-McDonald Mentor Award. Marion and Capers W. McDonald and the Tau Beta Pi association established this award in 2005. It recognizes an outstanding engineering educator or professional for helping in the development of their students and colleagues.
The professors at Iowa State go out of their way to help students feel a part of the community. They believe it lets them reach their academic potential. That's why you'll see professors starting organizations, learning communities, and mentoring students in classrooms and research laboratories.
Derrick is currently working with students to make their experience unforgettable and showing them that a little help can take them a long way into their future.
