Prep meets The Virgin Suicides in a haunting coming-of-age story for the digital generation and an examination of the hypocrisy of small town life, where no one quite knows where rumour ends and truth begins 'A provocative and timely novel that unsettles the reader and challenges our view of contemporary youth. Its subject matter is universal; parents and children around the world will recognise the difficult and fractured society it depicts' John Boyne Adamsville wasn't a place that people came to. It was a place you were from, where you were born, where you were raised, where you stayed... Before Carolyn Lessing arrived, nothing much had ever happened in Adamsville, Alabama. Each week, at dinner tables and in the high school assembly, everyone would pray for the football team to win. Each year, the Adams High hotlist would be updated, and girls would rise and fall within its ranks. Each day, everyone lived by the unwritten rules that cheerleaders did not hang out with the swim team, seniors did not date freshmen and the blistering heat was something that should never be remarked upon. But then the new girl came. All Carolyn's social media could reveal was that she had moved from New Jersey, she had 1075 friends – and she didn't have a relationship status. In beach photos with boys who looked like Abercrombie models she seemed beautiful, but in real life she was so much more. She was perfect. This was all before the camera crews arrived, before it became impossible to see where rumour ended and truth began, and before the Annual Adamsville Balloon Festival, when someone swore they saw the captain of the football team with his arm around Carolyn, and cracks began to appear in the dry earth.

Motion sickness susceptibility of five labyrinthine-defective (L-D) and 25 normal subjects was tested under the force environments encountered in parabolic flight (0 g and hyper-g). The L-D subjects were uniformly symptomless, while the normal subjects revealed great inter- and intra-individual differences in susceptibility to motion sickness provoked by standardized head movements during: (1) the hypergravic and (2) the weightless phases of the parabolic maneuver while restrained; and (3) the weightless phase while being rotated in a chair. Four of six subjects tested under condition 1 were completely unaffected by the condition while two reacted with symptoms. Condition 2 provoked severe symptoms in five of the twelve subjects tested and moderate symptoms in one. Fifteen subjects tested under condition 3 revealed either a marked increase or decrease in susceptibility to Coriolis acceleration in weightlessness compared to terrestrial baseline measurements.

Nineteen normal persons and three deaf subjects with bilateral loss of labyrinthine function (L-D subjects) were exposed to Coriolis accelerations during the brief periods of weightlessness in parabolic flighy by having them move their heads while rotating in a Barany chair at 30 rpm. None of the L-D but all of the normal subjects except three experienced motion sickness: Only one of eight subjects selected on the basis of insusceptibility to symptoms in standard parabolic flights was free of symptoms; the other seven were motion sick and completed on the average only six parabolas. Two of three subjects selected primarily on the basis of low susceptibility to Coriolis acceleration in a slow rotation room were symptom free, and one was motion sick but his level of symptoms did not reach the end point of severe malaise during ten parabolas. In addition to demonstrating susceptibility to motion sickness when exposed to Coriolis acceleration in the weightless phase of parabolic flight, the findings are important in emphasizing the difficulty in predicting susceptibility to motion sickness in novel force environments.

You know what you need to do to lose weight, so why can't you do it? Morbidly obese and desperately unhappy, Gregg McBride asked himself this question for years, until something different finally "clicked," and enabled him to embark on a weight-loss journey of 250 pounds that has now lasted ten years and still counting. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking in its honesty, Weightless is Gregg's story, but it is much more. It's an exclusive weight-loss plan with menus, recipes, exercises, and motivational techniques. Weightless will move, educate, entertain, and inspire anyone who is ready for change. Gregg McBride is a film and television writer and producer living in Los Angeles, where he works for companies including Disney, Paramount, Sony, ABC Family, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and others. His blog, JustStopEatingSoMuch.com, focuses on the topics of weight loss and food addiction. McBride has made multiple appearances on the Today Show and is also the author of the book Just Stop Eating So Much!, as well as a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. Joy Bauer, MS, RD, CDN, is the longtime nutrition and health expert for the Today Show, a contributing editor to Woman's Day magazine, and the New York Times best-selling author of Food Cures and Joy Fit Club.

This book focuses on all of the major problems associated with the absence of body weight in space, by analyzing effects, adaption, and re-adaptation upon returning to Earth, using sound scientific principles embedded in a historical context. Serious problems for space travelers range from Space Motion Sickness (SMS) to recently discovered ocular effects that may permanently impair vision. Fluid loss and shifts, spinal changes, and bone and muscle loss are also all results of weightlessness. Starting with a brief definition and history of weightlessness, the authors then address in detail each problem as well as the countermeasures aimed at alleviating them. In some cases, alternative hypotheses regarding what can and should be attempted are also presented. As plans for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars develop, it will be essential to find countermeasures to weightlessness that are effective for missions that could span years.
