Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

But I knew even if my feet could move from the place where they had cemented themselves to the ground and I could run for my camera, I wouldn't be able to capture that moment. I had trusted him, I had loved him, and even though my body had changed that summer, he'd made sure to help me hold on to who I was inside, regardless of how the exterior altered. But then everything changed. He stole my innocence. He scarred my heart. He took everything I thought I knew about my life and fast-pitched it out the window, shattering the glass that held my world together in the process. I remember the lights. The passionate, desperate, hot strikes of red. The harsh, cruel, icy bolts of blue. They symbolized everything I endured that summer. And everything I would never face again.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.
