![]() ![]() It is evident that the cuff pressure selected during BFR training has the potential to promote different acute ( Clarkson et al., 2020) and chronic ( Slysz et al., 2016 Clarkson et al., 2020) responses. In addition to its use in clinical prevention and rehabilitation settings, RT with BFR may be an alternative method to maximize neuromuscular adaptations without increasing joint stress ( Lixandrao et al., 2018). Therefore, low-load RT with BFR may be an alternative to traditional high-load RT for untrained subjects and populations with severe physical limitations. Results from meta-analyses in healthy and clinical populations demonstrate that RT combined with BFR using 20–30% 1-RM elicits similar changes in muscular endurance, muscular strength, and hypertrophy versus traditional high-load RT ( Slysz et al., 2016 Lixandrao et al., 2018 Centner et al., 2019), and was superior to load-matched RT without BFR in promoting muscle hypertrophy and strength gains ( Slysz et al., 2016). It is evident that intensity ≥70% of the individual one-repetition maximum (1-RM) promotes substantial training adaptations ( American College of Sports Medicine, 2009), while for clinical populations (e.g., patients undergoing rehabilitation or having underlying disease) and untrained adults, RT with such high loads may be difficult to apply ( Clarkson et al., 2020).īlood flow restriction (BFR) is an emergent training method which uses a cuff placed at the proximal portion of the exercising limb to restrict venous outflow in working musculature ( da Cunha Nascimento et al., 2020). RT intensity is generally considered as one of the most important variables for developing muscular adaptation ( American College of Sports Medicine, 2009). Resistance training (RT) increases muscular strength, power, muscle mass, functional capacity, sports performance, and general health ( American College of Sports Medicine, 2009). In addition, RT with total BFR promoted similar responses of oxidative stress and markers of immune cell apoptosis versus traditional RT. Results: Data indicated that all training groups showed similar increases in muscular strength ( p 0.05).Ĭonclusion: Data show that RT with partial BFR can increase muscular strength but still does not augment biomarkers of oxidative stress in untrained men. Blood samples were obtained before and after the first and last training sessions. Over an 8-week period, participants performed six sets of arm curls until failure with 90 seconds of recovery for 3 days/week. Methods: Twenty-seven untrained men were randomly divided into three groups: traditional RT, RT with partial (20% 1-RM), and total BFR (20% 1-RM). Purpose: The present study compared changes in acute oxidative stress and markers of apoptosis in immune cells before and after 8 weeks of low-load RT with total or partial blood flow restriction (BFR) versus high-load traditional RT. Introduction: The characterization of immune and oxidative stress responses to acute and chronic exercise training is important because it may aid in the safety and dose–response prescription of resistance training (RT) in many populations. 4Physical Education Research Laboratory, Universidade Cidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.3Graduation Program on Physical Education, Catholic University of Brasilia, Brazilia, Brazil.2Department of Kinesiology, California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, CA, United States. ![]() 1Interdisciplinary Post-graduate Programme in Health Sciences, Cruzeiro do Sul University, São Paulo, Brazil.Fabio Rocha de Lima 1† Douglas Popp Marin 1†‡ Letícia Torres Ferreira 1 Celso Pereira Batista Sousa Filho 1 Todd Anthony Astorino 2‡ Jonato Prestes 3‡ Marcelo Luis Marquezi 4‡ Rosemari Otton 1*‡ ![]() In growing zones lower than USDA Growing Zone 7 Ranunculus corms should not be left in the ground over the winter. Here in the Kapuskasing Region we are considered to be USDA Growing Zone 2b, so a few extra steps are required to ensure beautiful blooms.

Varieties of Ranunculus available in our Farm & Garden Market for Spring 2022 planting. Ranunculus will take approximately 1- 1/2 months to start blooming from planting out, growth will slow in hot weather. Start corms indoors in Late Winter using the below instructions and direct sow or transplant pre-sprouted plants outside once risk of deep freezing has passed – approximately 1 month before last frost date for your hardiness zone. Zones lower than 4 should start March -April Zones between 6 and 4 should start February – March Be prepared to provide temporary protection in the event of unexpected cold/snow in Early Spring. To get blooms for Mid August through the Fall follow the same instructions but start plants in Mid June through Mid July. Extremely hot weather will slow the plants growth so be sure to select your planting location for your Fall plants where they will receive midday shade in the hottest part of the Summer without being in Full Shade by Fall, alternatively grow in 8-10″ pots or large containers that can be moved to provide shade in the hottest part of summer and moved to a Full Sun in Fall. Note: you will not get as many blooms in the Fall as you would in the Spring and you will have to keep an eye out for slug damage which is less of an issue in Spring. ![]() Ranunculus like to be Well watered but they do not like to be stuck in standing water or soggy soil as this will cause the corms to rot so selecting sites with good drainage is a must. ![]() There, on a page dedicated to Calhoun's experiment, he describes the Calhoun experiments as, "one of the most important in human history," and he delves into the meaning of all this for humankind. It's called Critical Mass, and you can learn about it at .Ī bioethicist named Jan Kubań has written extensively about this on a site called. Except now, it's happening in the world of humans.įilmmaker Mike Freeman has even made a film about these experiments. What we are witnessing in the world today, right now, with the self-inflicted annihilation of humankind, almost perfectly reflects observations from Calhoun's "mouse utopia" experiments. (Populations began to collapse at around 560 days, for reasons discussed below.) Each time the outcome was the same: Extinction within 1588 days. ![]() What happened to Calhoun's mice? He repeated the experiment multiple times using mice and rats. Within 4 years, however, the population had become extinct through self-annihilation even though all the resources it needed for survival were readily available, including ample space to live. It started with eight mice, who began to reproduce quickly, enjoying their newfound "utopia" with unlimited resources. This concept of stress related to over-socialization was a part of Calhoun’s experiments that positively influenced thought and research well after the 1970s.In the 1960's, a scientist named John Calhoun created a "mouse utopia" where populations of mice would enjoy everything they needed, essentially without effort: Unlimited food, water, living space, population growth without predators and so on. Calhoun cited creativity and art as giving people the ability to create distance between others in order to cope with overcrowding. These classist conclusions led some to ask: what are the positive contributions of the behavioral sink theory?Ĭalhoun began to explore the importance of “spiritual space” as well as physical space, a concept that aligned pretty directly with Freedman’s theory of coping strategies. Many felt that there was not only a higher rate of general crime in the low-income areas, but that there was also a higher chance that a crime would be committed against them. The theory played on the anxieties of those who disliked crowded areas, which were often people of low-income. “Rats may suffer from crowding human beings can cope,” stated Freedman in regards to Calhoun’s findings. Psychologist Jonathan Freedman conducted a similar, but significantly more humane, experiment with students to observe their behavior in situations of overcrowding in which he found no negative effects of overcrowding, but instead of over-socialization. The other controversy involved further experiments that proved the theory of behavioral sink did not hold up in human populations. ![]() For instance, some mice exhibited different sexual behaviors ranging from asexuality to bisexuality and third, in order to detect this behavior in human beings, some researchers used STDs and illegitimacy as equivalents, an obviously offensive comparison. The work eventually proved controversial for a few reasons: first, the behavior of mice cannot be used independently to understand the behavior of humans second, when scientists tried to study the behavioral sink theory in humans, they had to decide which human behaviors they would consider similar to the unusual behavior of the mice. The strange actions of the group of mice are assumedly correlated with the heightened population this relationship is then referred to as “behavioral sinks.” Calhoun reported the results of his mice experiment in the 1962 issue of Scientific American, and the concept of the behavioral sink soon garnered the attention of the public. Other mice resorted to fighting when in direct contact with other mice for prolonged periods. In the worst instances of overpopulation, pregnant female mice experienced a higher number of miscarriages and mothers were losing track of their children. The mice utopia quickly spiraled into chaos once overcrowding commenced. The theory is still largely contested and influences studies of human behavior, and this article will seek to answer the questions: what is a behavioral sink and how valid is the theory? The ExperimentĪt the start of the study, Calhoun crafted a utopia where the mice could thrive in a secluded space and reproduce without a fear of predators or a lack of resources. Calhoun studied the effects of increased population density on the behavior of mice and concluded his studies with the theory of the behavioral sink. Some of these inconveniences, like traffic and crowded sidewalks, are frustrating while others, such as a lack of resources, may be dangerous. A high population density may, in some instances, lead to inconveniences. ![]() ![]() Don’t forget what you can hang your weaves from.I have posted a lot of different ways to finish your weaves, whether you’re cutting your weave off the loom or using your warp loops to hang.

While we will always try to work around this so you can get back into game if we can, we are quite limited in what we can do when external software injects into the launcher and client. We have spoken to a few players who have confirmed removal fixed their issue. We have seen this software inject and intercept calls that has caused issues with launcher and client launching. In a log above, we can see “VK_MIRILLIS_LAYER” which likely relates to ‘Mirillis Action!’. While this isn’t going to be the case for everyone, we have noticed a rise in 3rd party software which has started to interfere with both the launcher and the game client, causing them to stop launching. I’m not part of the launcher team but have been involved in some of the discussions as we (launcher / engine) often investigate these issues together. Procmon records a lot of information (mine did 2.5m log entries in about 5 minutes) so it needs some heavy filtering, but hey, if you’re happy to try and diagnose and resolve the issue yourself, I’d recommend it. I ended the launcher task one more time, just straight up removed Action! attempted to relaunch the game and hey presto, it now launches for me… Proccess Monitor follows everything that runs on your machine, so I ended up filtering out everything that “EveLauncher.exe” was doing, then followed through the logs until I found where it was getting stuck.įor me, for some bizarre reason, the client was getting stuck hooking in Nvidia/Vulkan Libraries into a recording program I use called Action! (No, I have no idea why this is part of the launcher process, but hey, I followed the trail). Microsoft have a program called “Process Monitor” - which I ended up running, then launching the Eve Launcher. I could launch the client, but without the launcher, couldn’t get into the game. So update for myself - while I did what I said before, as suspected, was another dead end. Or like, when a program crashes and you re-launch a program before the last one finishes up and they both just hang.Įach time I’ve checked to ensure there’s a single instance running, I’ve even given it the benefit of the doubt and given it a couple of hours to do something, but alas, just hangs.Įven though the network diagnostics were successful anyway, I did check windows firewall settings and whilst there wasn’t an entry in there for the launcher, I manually added one, but didn’t make any difference either. It almost fills like the launcher is waiting for a service that is suspended and it just hangs (or for a response back from something). In resource manager, I’ve analysed the wait chain for the launcher as well and it seems to literally just be waiting on itself. Under Settings, I’ve tried the Beta Version type, Release Type and Development type as well.ĭoing it this way with the Eve LogLite running does actually get it to output into the program but its all blue (Informational) logs. While I was able too I hit “Network Diagnostics” - Basic, Traceroute, Download Test and SSL Diagnostics all also complete successfully. As long as you’re in the menu the 30 second counter starts counting into the negative. When it runs, however, it gives you a 30-second window before the update automatically installs - but - it loaded into the taskbar normally and it gave me access to the launcher diagnostic tools (The up-to-date launcher doesn’t load anything onto the taskbar, it never gets that far). ![]() Once it’s installed, it runs the old client completely fine, then finds and downloads the latest update. I wondered if it could be something with this latest launcher build - so I dug up an old eve launcher binary - The one listed here - which at least runs and installs the launcher. I’ve tried launching the client in windows 10 safe mode to make sure that there’s no 3rd party program interfering - still hangs in the task manager. Tried downloading the Res for the full game and re-running - no success. Tried re-downloading the launcher off of the website but the launcher hangs in task manager in exactly the same manner. I did actually use the Revo Uninstaller to remove the game and verified the Registry entry was cleared for it.Ĭache files in appdata were also removed. The process was hanging in task manager as Barret Vakot posted above. I originally launched Eve and it patched the client from an older version (which was working last time I played was back in July). Just to post a few other things that I’ve tried and how my issue came about: Another one here suffering from this same problem. ![]() Threesome with Evelin Elle & Ivi Rein IVI REIN Exposing Lust For Anal - Ivi Rein. ![]()

Age Groupsīased on Open finish rank, the top 10 percent of age-group athletes worldwide in each division advance to the Age-Group Quarterfinal, from March 31-April 2, 2023, to compete for a spot at Semifinals. The top teams in the Quarterfinals advance to the Semifinals for a chance to earn their spot at the Games. Team rosters for the Quarterfinals consists of four athletes, two men and two women, and two alternates, one man and one woman, who will compete in the online competition from March 29-31, 2023. The top 25 percent of the total number of teams per continent (for continents with a minimum of at least 50 teams) will be eligible to advance from the Open to the Quarterfinals on their continent. The top 40 men and top 40 women will advance to the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games. ![]() Thirty men and 30 women will be invited to compete at each of the Semifinals in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and South America. The top 60 men and 60 women from Quarterfinals will be invited to compete in-person at the North America East, North America West, and the Europe Semifinal. The Quarterfinals are an online competition in which qualified athletes compete over the course of a weekend, from March 16-19, 2023, for a chance to advance to the third stage, Semifinals. The top ten percent of individual Open athletes on each continent advance to the second stage of the competition, the Quarterfinals. ![]() QUARTERFINALS AND SEMIFINALS Individual Athletes The 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games Open takes place from Feb. The Affiliate Cup competition allows teams of athletes from each gym to compete with one another and potentially advance to the Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Games. ( Please note: Countries are assigned to athletes based on citizenship and assigned to teams based on location.) For example, athletes can search for the fittest in South America or Switzerland. The leaderboard will also be searchable by continent, country, or user-generated hashtags. Separate hashtag-based leaderboards will be available for teachers, military service members, healthcare workers, firefighters, college students, law enforcement officers, and hundreds of other professions, interests, and groups. The Open allows hundreds of thousands of individual athletes to quantify their performance and rank themselves with peers. Anyone who is at least 14 years old can sign up and join in the first stage of the CrossFit Games season with special divisions for teenagers, age groups, and adaptive athletes. During the three-week competition, one event will be released online each Thursday, and athletes have four days to record and submit scores. The road to the CrossFit Games starts with the worldwide Open, the largest participatory sporting event on Earth. This year, a worldwide Open competition involving hundreds of thousands of competitors will allow the best athletes to advance through Quarterfinal and Semifinal rounds, culminating in the 17th edition of the CrossFit Games from Aug. ![]() As top athletes began to train year-round for strength, speed, endurance, and skill, they were met with new tests each year that took them outside their comfort zone. Competitors are required to train for the unknown, and the scores of events have included distance swims, obstacle courses, 1-rep-max lifts, handstand walking, sled pushes, rope climbs, and odd-object carries. Instead, athletes from around the world are tested against a variety of unannounced events, each with different movements, equipment, and time domains. From their inception, they have been unlike traditional sports such as track and field, gymnastics, weightlifting, or even decathlon - all specialist sports in which the events are known long in advance. The Games began in 2007 in Aromas, California, as the first competition to objectively measure fitness. The international field of play has included athletes from over 120 countries. For the past 16 years, fans from around the world have attended the multi-day sporting event, streamed the competition online, or watched on ESPN, CBS, or a wide range of international broadcasts. The CrossFit Games are the ultimate proving grounds for the Fittest Man and Fittest Woman on Earth™ and are world-renowned as the definitive test of fitness. |
