Nearly a third of people experience motion sickness – and to this day we don’t exactly know what causes it. The prevailing theory suggests it is triggered by a poor perception of movement Departure to and return from summer holidays seem moments especially prone to this sickness’ stealthy advances We (or at least those of us inclined to travel sickness) are more often ill during these particular journeys than during our normal comings and goings Let’s note too that lots of travellers feel a sense of fatigue, drowsiness, apathy or lack of energy without having done any particularly exhausting activity. These are in fact symptoms of mild motion sickness which show that many more people are affected by the condition than you’d think Why this apparent heightened susceptibility during holiday trips all with the potential to increase the incidence and severity of symptoms In a car, the further one travels, the more likely one is to feel ill, as shown by a number of mathematical models which predict motion sickness It’s the adding up of unpleasant movements which takes us over the threshold where we feel symptoms. For certain people, this can happen after just a few minutes); for others it develops more slowly will this latter group be pushed over their limit and start feeling unwell In summer, the temperature inside a vehicle is difficult to control, with the sun often imposing a stifling heat; conditions which tend to accentuate the symptoms of motion sickness When it’s hot, our body has to make an effort to regulate its temperature These various signals amount to ‘primary symptoms’ as they can contribute to the appearance of other more substantive symptoms: dilation of the blood vessels To counter these effects, one is tempted to switch the air conditioning on, which could itself, perversely, worsen the situation for passengers highly susceptible to motion sickness Ventilation and cabin air systems also push people toward their nausea thresholds It’s also known that there is a region of the brain – the area postrema or chemoreceptor trigger zone – which can trigger over-production of saliva and nausea specifically when certain smells are detected – a protective reflex against toxins and other poisonous substances In a car, it isn’t speed that makes one ill but changes in speed Acceleration and breaking movements aggravate the human body In practice, variations in speed are often forced on the driver by road design (speed limits, crossings, traffic lights), but also by the state of the traffic. A car stuck in jams will be forced to speed up and slow down at random intervals, which grates, even at low speeds Traffic jams also have a psychological element. Delays to a journey (which might already have been very long), anxiousness about arriving at the arranged time, which is looking less and less likely, tiredness, stress and irritation can all cause the passengers’ mood to crash. It’s been observed that these factors significantly impact the degree of motion sickness symptoms It would be better to take these setbacks calmly and stay in a relaxed frame of mind but that’s of course easier said than done If you’re driving with passengers with a tendency to be car sick some adjustments to your travel habits might help you Take regular breaks. This allows passengers to take a breather, and to reduce to a significant extent or even get over their symptoms. Sometimes symptoms can take a while to disappear but generally 15-30 minutes is enough Try to cut down the amount of hard acceleration and braking you do Keep as far as possible to the same speed and adopt a smooth driving style Avoid taking corners too sharply on winding roads. Passengers should be jolted in their seats as little as possible Sit as far forward in the vehicle as possible. Any movement while travelling is better absorbed by the body from this position. It’s in the driver’s seat that people are least affected by car sickness since one has control over the vehicle’s movement Avoid looking at screens and other visual content (books, etc.), particularly when the vehicle isn’t moving at a constant speed. Instead, try and look forward out of the window Shut your eyes or try to sleep Tilt your seat back This allows you to be less destabilised by the vehicle’s movements Go for car games with the other passengers if you get bored: play “I Spy”, sing songs, count cars of a particular colour or make, and other old favourites of proven effectiveness to help pass the time and, above all, take your attention away from the queasiness The emergence and disappearance of symptoms is mainly a psychological phenomenon hoping your journey conditions are as good as they can be Translation from French to English by Joshua Neicho This article was originally published in French Published: Invalid Date THE snowiest and most popular Christmas market in Europe has been revealed - and you've probably never even heard of it Every year, the French town of Montbéliard hosts an intimate Christmas market called Les Lumières de Noël The German-style Christmas market first opened in 1986 and it is believed to be one of the most popular Christmas markets in France Since it first opened, 140 wooden stalls selling handmade gifts and Christmas delicacies have set up shop in front of the Temple Saint Martin - the oldest Lutheran church in France As well as foodie delights, the French Christmas market also has another important draw - the strong possibility of picturesque snowfall in November and December A team of travel experts at European Waterways recently revealed the best Christmas markets to visit in Europe for a white Christmas and they compared it against Europe's most popular Christmas markets with the possibility of 24 snow days between November 1 Salzburg Christmas market in Austria took second place Meanwhile, Metz in France and Basel in Switzerland were both predicted to have 20 days of snow.

The Guinean central defender was playing in the French Ligue 2 for FC Sochaux-Montbeliard. "Florentin Pogba leaves Sochaux-Montbéliard the Guinean International wanted to discover a new championship and has transferred to ATK Mohun Bagan FC which plays in the Indian championship," said Sochaux-Montbéliard in a release Florentin Pogba played 62 matches for Sochaux-Montbéliard after signing up for them in the summer of 2020 has played for French Ligue 2 club Saint-Étienne and American club Atlanta United who won the ISL thrice in the guise of ATK finished fourth in the league standings last season They made the playoffs but lost to eventual champions Hyderabad FC in the semi-finals "This is a new opportunity for me,” Florentin Pogba said “It will give me a chance to know the country I am able to enter the field with a club rich in tradition The 6-foot 4-inch defender also has the experience of playing for the junior French national team before moving to Guinea to play at the senior level Florentin Pogba has 31 international caps for Guinea after making his debut in 2010 This is the second major signing for ATKMB ahead of the AFC Cup 2022 inter-zone play-off semi-finals in September ATK Mohun Bagan had announced the signing of 29-year-old central defender Brendan Hamill who played for Australian A-League side Melbourne Victory Indian midfielder Ashique Kuruniyan from Bengaluru FC also signed up for ATK Mohun Bagan on a five-year deal earlier this month Plessis and Wantiez are moving heaven and earth to propose a viable budget in order to field Sochaux in the French third-tier this season They will soon present their budget to the DNCG for approval to enter this season’s competition Should the DNCG give a greenlight to Sochaux the Doubs club would be eligible to play in National 1 Sochaux would then ask the French FA to be drafted into the third-tier the sale agreement between Nenking and the new owners would become null and void the Chinese Conglomerate would file Sochaux for bankruptcy before Belfort’s Commercial Court Around 25-30% of the population regularly suffers from motion sickness - a figure which some reckon to be conservative Symptoms of this poorly understood illness include nausea Mildly affected patients might also experience drowsiness It is estimated 60 to 70% of travellers will suffer from it at some point Motion sickness is experienced most commonly in cars, giving rise to the term car sickness. Passengers are prone to feeling sick because they are deprived of the capacity to anticipate trajectories in more than a century of automobile development the issue of carsickness should have been be solved As road vehicles continue to undergo technological metamorphosis digitalisation and automation of vehicles come with benefits - and issues some technological advances may create or worsen the feeling of imbalance and prevent vehicle occupants from anticipating the itinerary they increase the risk of undergoing sickness symptoms more frequently Below are those whose effects are already documented The use of regenerative braking, which captures the kinetic energy from braking and converts it into the electrical power that charges the vehicle’s high voltage battery, can also upset passengers’ balance. The decelerations induced by this system are usually low frequency which is typical of a sickness-inducing motion force Another technological advance inducing motion sickness is the growing presence of ever larger and numerous screens inside vehicles These screens overburden users with visual information which discourages them from looking outside They thereby lose their ability to take in the ‘correct’ visual signals – i.e the external view of the vehicle – which allow them to correctly perceive their position in space The race among car manufacturers to create the first fully-automated vehicle is also likely to worsen the problem While today’s vehicles are only partially automated this is problematic when we know the act of driving is the best way to anticipate trajectories and curb symptoms this is another idea that may constitute a psychological bias toward symptoms Another promise of the autonomous vehicle is to allow its passengers to devote “idle” travel time to productive tasks or entertainment. The increasing appeal of taxi and Uber travel, where users tend to gaze at their digital devices, goes hand in hand with this trend. Here again, such distractions deter passengers from engaging with the landscape let us not forget the incidence of motion sickness ultimately remains moderate in non-automated cars because of drivers’ ability to adapt their driving style when their passengers report discomfort This human dimension is set to disappear in autonomous vehicles whose driving style will be less flexible and less natural than that of a human driver In the absence of effective means to mitigate motion sickness in cars, aggravated symptoms may ultimately lead consumers to reject such highly-evolved vehicles psychological and legal dimensions related to their development it may be that human beings would become the main obstacle to the adoption of these new types of vehicles For these reasons, automotive manufacturers and suppliers have shown growing interest in this phenomenon in recent years Their purpose is to better understand it to alleviate it effectively - not out of public interest but because it could compromise the successful launch of their future products but also the programming of a comfortable driving style that imitates that of a human being and limits sudden acceleration This article was originally published in French Following the news that Sochaux may be forced to move out of their stadium French radio station France Bleu invited Samuel Laurent president of the Pays de Montbéliard Agglomération With the rental agreement due to expire at the end of March Sochaux are unlikely to be able to host Nancy next weekend “We have a ten-year agreement,” explained Demouge We have today proposed an extension of six months it was agreed by the elected members of the agglomeration that all tenants of any establishment pay their utility costs It’s not my fault if today energy prices have increased What we ask of FC Sochaux-Montbéliard is that they pay their utility costs “When my team went to see the PMA on 9th March to start negotiations ‘we will extend the contract by six months what the PMA was saying was ‘we’ll take six months to negotiate but you sign first.’ And sorry but there I say no It’s a negotiation that should take into consideration the interests of both parties I understand that the PMA’s finances have suffered the TV rights crisis… Football has hit rock bottom.” the negotiations are still ongoing,” replied Demouge Laurent explained why he had considered finding the club a new home It would be a terrible logistical problem for us and it would be heartbreaking for the fans We’re having our best season for seven years it’s possible that the league might consider the stadium unapproved.”a Toulouse have announced the signing of striker Thijs Dallinga from Excelsior Rotterdam who were promoted to the first tier after winning the play-offs to the Eredivisie The 21-year-old scored no less than 36 goals and registered 9 assists in his 44 matches in all competitions last year and becomes the latest Dutchman to join this Toulouse team after Branco van den Boomen and Stijn Spierings L’Équipe report that the forward has moved to the south of France for a €2.5m with last year’s top scorer Rhys Healey said to be on his way out and is the latest in Toulouse’s recent data-driven recruitment strategy which has bore its fruits so far Dallinga had also been the subject of interest from Rangers and Vitesse Arnhem following his impressive campaign – which saw him named player of the year in the Eerste Divisie – but it’s with the newly-promoted Ligue 1 team that the striker will start the season Saber Desfarges is reporting that Sochaux

Ligue 2 play-offs last season whilst he also scored twice in three Coupe de France appearances Since arriving from Lyon for €300k in 2020 he has scored seven goals in 33 appearances for Sochaux who lost Auxerre in last season’s Ligue 2 promotion play-offs Le Havre finished the season comfortably mid-table and Kitala would represent the club’s fourth summer recruit should the move be completed as
