Are you ready for the Staten Island High Rock Challenge?

In memory of Police Officer John Kelly, the High Rock Challenge is an adventure run in the Greenbelt Trail System of Staten Island that is roughly ten kilometers in length. Teams consisting of two members must run together at all times and compete in five mystery events which are located throughout the course. Mystery events are designed to challenge and encourage teamwork as well as mental and physical strength. There will be food, beverages and entertainment at the finish. Previous year’s challenges brought competitors face to face with a 50 pound sandbag, an 8 foot wall, a word scramble test, a low crawl net and a suspended wire bridge over a murky pond.

How do you get ready for the Event?

With us of course. Only Nxt Level can get you prepared for the unknowable obstacles which you are required to perform during this event. Our program is the only training on Staten Island that has functional movements that are constantly-varied, high intensity workouts. We strengthen and condition and prepare you for whatever the challenge. Our classes are geared towards a high level of functional competency. To register, click on the High Rock widget.

Cybersex examined by UNB Fredericton student

 

 

Beginning of Story Content

A New Brunswick researcher is delving into the world of cybersex in a study that is drawing international interest.

Krystelle Shaughnessy, a graduate psychology student at the University of New Brunswick, said the topic came to her while she was in a long-distance relationship.

‘A key piece in the research I’m conducting right now is, who do you have cybersex with?’—Krystelle Shaughnessy

She said where her grandmother would have put pen to paper to maintain such an affair, and her mother would have picked up the phone, her natural medium was online.

Shaughnessy wondered how many other people were doing the same. She said while there is plenty of research into sex addiction, deviant behaviour and child pornography, there was little on “normal” online sexual activity.

“I think my key thing going into this was to try to normalize a behaviour I think is fairly normal,” she said.

The Fredericton woman’s curiosity led her to examine the online sexual behaviour of young adults.

Her first paper asked university students to define cybersex.

“Most people are saying cybersex is something that is interactive, involves at least two people and it has to happen in real time,” she said.

Her second study looked at gender similarities and differences. Her results showed most people engaged in some form of cybersex, ranging from viewing erotic material to maintaining sexual relationships.

She said she was surprised that in the relatively anonymous world of the world wide web, men and women behaved as they often do offline:

  • 83 per cent of men viewed sexually explicit videos or photographs online
  • 31 per cent of women viewed sexually explicit videos or photographs online
  • On average, men and women engaged in cybersex two to three times a month

Shaughnessy won the 2010 International Academy of Sex Research’s best student manuscript for her research.

She sampled 217 students in the 2005 work and is now expanding her work.

“A key piece in the research that I’m conducting right now is, who do you have cybersex with? One thing that is across the board — whether I’m talking to researchers, students, anybody — is this notion that cybersex is two strangers hiding from their offline partners engaging in sex online, and I don’t think that’s reality,” she said.

Try to follow these 7 principles everyday for everything you do !!

                   Nxt Level Coaches                              Sacred 7 Gym Principles
1. I promise to do my best. My best will vary from day to day, minute to minute. But in that minute I will do my absolute best.    

 

2. If I can run, I run. If I have to walk, I walk. When I am forced to crawl, I crawl. Then I rest and live to fight another day.

3. I may struggle, curse, and cry but I will never quit.

4. I will never criticize or beat myself up for what I can’t do today. I will just try again tomorrow.

5. I promise to believe in myself, beginning each workout with the thought that “I can do this!”

6. I show up to my workouts because I am committed to my health. My commitment to health is an act of self-love.

7. I acknowledge that my diet is the most important part of my program. The cleaner it is, the better I do.
