An Amy-zing battle
I left the pokemon centre overcome with pride. Pippa was admiring my Volcano Badge pinned on my belt but Amy was too occupied with summing up Munchlax.
"How could a normal-type succeed where a water-type failed?" she kept asking
"I guess Munchlax is just really strong" I shrugged. Munchlax nodded and flexed his muscles in agreement. Amy smiled and gripped one of her pokeballs
"How about a 1-on-1...to see how strong he really is" I stared over at the Seafoam Islands where I could see the remains of Jacko's fire. It inspired me.
"You're on! Pippa you referee!"
Amy stood over on one side of the beach and I the other. We had drawn a battlefield in the sand. Pippa stood on the halfway line where she declared the battle started.
"Go Bulbasaur" Amy called her glasses sliding down her nose. I was disappointed when the starter pokemon jumped into action. I was hoping for a new exciting pokemon...oh well.
"Munchlax use lick!" the long tongue darted towards Bulbasaur who fended us off with a vine whip. Munchlax gripped his aching tongue before being struck by razor leaves. Amy was good. "Metronome!" luck was mildly on our side. Munchlax fired off a signal beam which would have been super effective if Bulbasaur wasn't a poison type as well. It hit Bulbasaur directly in the face.
"Bulbasaur use Poison Powder" the toxic dust hurricane towards us. I commanded a defence curl which prevented any entering Munchlax's eyes or mouth. We were safe...for now. Amy tried the move again whilst Munchlax's wagging fingers produced a Mach Punch. The toxic powder was stuck on Munchlax's fists and back now. We were in trouble.
"Metronome!" I cried. All I could do was hope and pray. I barely had the courage to watch. All I heard was Amy shout:
I looked on aghast as a powerful beam erupted from Munchlax's mouth. Bulbasaur was buffeted about. Munchlax finally stopped but looked exhausted. Bulbasaur, however, had taken the attack and still looked ready to battle.
"Sleep Powder but use Razor Leaf to speed it up!" Amy cried. This unique attack struck my tired partner. His fatigue slipped into sleep. I watched helplessly as Amy proceeded to use a variety of moves on the sleeping pokemon. Bulbasaur finally gripped Munchlax with his vines before slinging him into a tree. Munchlax collapsed, not from sleep but from weakness. Amy had won. She recalled Bulbasaur and bid farewell. Pippa and I watched as she flew away atop a Fearow. My first defeat. Would it be my last?

Columbia County shooting suspect turns himself in
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. - The Columbia County Sheriff's Office said a man wanted in relation to shooting a security guard at the Elks Lodge in Lake City early Saturday morning turned himself into authorities late Wednesday evening.
Officers learned an argument between two unknown females and a single male, Robert Church, 29, began inside the Elks Lodge at closing.
Police say the on-site security guard attempted to separate the parties involved and escort them outside.
Once outside, Church fell to the ground during a struggle.
Church then reportedly went to a vehicle in the parking lot, retrieved a handgun and returned. He shot the security guard once and fled the area.
The security guard was transported to UF Health Gainesville.
The bullet that passed through the guard struck a female bystander and she was taken by her husband to Lake Shore Hospital where she was later transferred to UF Health Gainesville. Both victims were out of the hospital as of late Wednesday night.
Church was booked on no bond into the Columbia County Detention Facility on charges of discharging a firearm in public, felon in possession of a firearm and aggravated battery.

"There should be no formal government interference in the dissemination of information through a medium which is perhaps quintessential representative of democracy...what we want is consensus and not a decision. Consensus which will then be formalised through which we can deal in future," Sibal said.
The minister said that some aspects of the Internet are completely protected by freedom of speech but some aspects of it may not be protected by free speech.
He said that with time the nature of governance is changing and in the same manner, the definition of freedom is evolving.
Sibal also expressed reservations on the title of the event, 'India Internet Governance Conference', where he was speaking.
"Quite frankly, I don't like the word governance. You are having curtain raiser on India Internet Governance conference. I think we are starting on the wrong foot," Sibal said.
He said that as India empowers its democracy further, the country will fully embrace Internet.
"Any technology that is in human hand can be misused. The problem here is do we need governance structure in order to deal with that problem or do we need an evolving structure which builds consensus to be able to deal with that issue," Sibal said.
The minister reiterated that he and the government would neither want a governance structure nor control over the Internet.
"We need a modicum of consensus but that consensus should evolve with honest open discussion with all the key stakeholders. This is the way we will go forward but what we want is consensus and not a decision. Consensus which will then formalised through which we can deal with in the future," he said.

UNICEF Says The Drought Situation In Africa Getting Worse
Category: UNICEF
UNICEF says that there are 1.4 million children in drought ridden Somalia that will likely suffer from acute malnutrition this year. That is a 50 per cent increase from the first estimate which was made in January. The figures include more than 275,000 children who are likely to face a severe form of acute malnutrition which is life threatening and are nine times more likely to die of diseases such as measles or cholera. UNICEF spokeswoman Marixie Mercado says the combination of dehydration and malnutrition added to displacement is deadly for children.
Children could die within hours
Ms Mercado added that a child that was severely dehydrated and malnourished can die within a few hours if they fail to receive treatment for diarrhoea or cholera. Measles is also a major threat because it is airborne and can spread like wildfire in the camps. It is estimated that 2.9 million people in Somalia face the prospects of famine. In North-East Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen 17 million people are at risk says the United Nation. In pockets of South Sudan, famine has already been declared.
Huge increase in children suffering from malnutrition
So far UNICEF has treated roughly 56,000 Somali children for malnutrition since the start of the year which represents an increase of over 88 per cent over last year said Ms Mercado. UNICEF funds nutrition and cholera centres but has no data on how many children have died from hunger and disease in Somalia. Ms Mercado said that during the 2011 famine an estimated 258,000 people perished over a year and half period. 133,000 of the people who died were young children.
"Every mother I spoke to said their children were sick, either with diarrhoea, or vomiting or feverish. Most had never been vaccinated before because of the insecurity across the country," Mercado said. "The pace and the scale of displacement have risen exponentially."
Millions displaced
Approximately 615,000 Somalis have had to flee their homes since last November because of the drought and crop failure. They join the 1 million people that have already been internally displaced. The UN has managed to achieve approximately 60 per cent of its funding target for its humanitarian appeal of US$ 720 million for Somalia. A spokesperson for the agency said it is in a race against time.
British Public Shows It's Generosity With Millions Raised For Crisis in East Africa
Category: Concern Worldwide, Oxfam, Save the Children
The British public has once again showed its generosity by helping to raise £50 million in 22 days for East Africa. The money will be used to enable aid agencies to step up their efforts to deliver food and assistance to millions of people who are on the brink of starvation. The total amount raised by the UK to help with food shortage in Yemen and East Africa is £72 million when you include the £15 million the UK government has also contributed.
Helping to save lives
This means the British people are already helping to save lives says Saleh Saeed CEO of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). Mr Saeed says the £50 million raised for East Africa will provide millions of people living in the drought afflicted areas with food, water and access to medical care for more than two years. The Yemen appeal which was launched back in December last year has so far raised £22 million.
Assistance being delivered despite of obstacles
More assistance is already being delivered to those in need in spite of the fact that there are many challenges. For example, as a result of the conflict in Yemen the cranes in the port of Hodeida have been destroyed. In South Sudan fighting is taking place and in Somalia vast swathes of the country are controlled by terror groups who have blocked access to aid. Famine has been declared in parts of South Sudan and in Somalia people face the prospect of starvation with roughly 20 million people affected.
All the leading charities are contributing
The DEC is made up of the UK's leading charities and is lending its support in East Africa where food shortages are most acute. According to Mr Saeed there have been reports that the delivery of aid has had an immediate impact to the lives of people affected by the crisis. Concern Worldwide has set up a nutrition centre just outside Mogadishu the capital of Somalia. Save the Children is also working with about 40 drought affected communities in Ethiopia and Somalia and providing them with food, water, and medical care. Oxfam is delivering water and providing sanitation to hundreds of thousands of people in Kenya.
Still lots more to be done
Mr Saeed said whilst the he was very grateful for what has been provided so far, there is still far more to be done as the crisis get worse. He added that the UK can be proud of its response to the East Africa and Yemen appeal. A lot of money has been raised and the UK government and the British public are leading the charge.
Oxfam Says Climate Change Already Impacting Africa
Category: Oxfam
Oxfam said ahead of the recent Climate Change March on Washington, that global warming is responsible for making drought and humanitarian disasters worse. The United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) estimates that roughly 12 million people across Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya are at risk of starvation due to recurring droughts. The agency believes that Somalia in particular is at risk of entering into a state of famine for the second time in six years.
Climate change a real threat
Nigel Tricks, regional director for Oxfam said in an interview that in East Africa, climate change is a very real problem that poses a threat today in East Africa. Mr Tricks added that what were once previously thought to be once in a lifetime droughts now seem to be routine. According to Mr Tricks, for the first-time camels and donkeys which are typically resistant to lack of water are dying by the score and this is causing havoc in the lives of pastoralists.
Thousands of people participated in the March
Thousands of people took part in the People's Climate Change March held in Washington at the end of April. Last month President Trump signed an order to repeal climate change regulations that were enacted under the Obama administration. President Trump was keeping a promise to provide support to the coal industry and the move was provocative because it raises the question of whether the US will support an international deal in the fight against global warming.
Years of low rainfall
Oxfam says that this is the third year of very low rainfall in East Africa and this is combined with above average temperatures, which is part of trend that started in the 1980's. One activist for an aid agency said that in the Kenyan town of Kilifi, people were going hungry and cattle were dying as a result of drought which really started to have an impact last year. Southern and Eastern Africa were hit badly by drought in 2016 which was exacerbated by El Nino which is when the surface temperature of the Pacific Ocean rises. The combination of the two has wilted crops, slowed economic growth and caused food prices to rise.
Save The Children Condemns Attacks On Civilian Evacuees In Syria
Category: Save the Children
Save the Children says it strongly condemns the recent appalling attack on busses that were being used to evacuate civilians from two towns in North-West Syria, Foua and Kefraya. A number of people including children are thought to have been killed in what appears to be a savage attack. Sonia Khush who runs Save the Children in Syria says people have been living under siege for the past couple of years and the condition they live in are truly horrific.
Attacking civilians with impunity
In a strongly worded statement Ms Khush added that once people finally had the chance to leave all sides participating in the conflict continue to attack civilians with no repercussions. This has had devastating consequences for children and their families. Ms Khush says civilians should never be targeted. The attack took place whilst thousands of people were being evacuated from four towns that are under siege.
Children are dying
Two towns are government held and are Foua and Kefraya, whilst the other two towns, Madaya and Zabadani are held by opposition forces. Whilst under siege, critical aid such as medicine and food are prevented from entering for months at time. To add to that, children are dying from starvation, sniper fire and bombing. Save the Children is urging all parties involved in the conflict to make sure that the remaining evacuees are completely protected and given safe passage.
Millions of people not receiving aid
650,000 people still live under siege in Syria. There are also more than 4 million people living in parts of the country that are considered 'hard to reach' and simply not accessible to aid agencies. Despite the fact that various participants in the conflict have pledged to increase aid access, over 90 per cent of people living in these parts of Syria have no seen a single aid convoy in 2017.
UNICEF Appeals For Donations To Support Children In Eastern Ukraine Affected By War
Category: UNICEF
More than 200,000 children or nearly a quarter of all children who live in the two areas that are most affected by the continuing conflict in Eastern Ukraine are in urgent need of immediate assistance and psychosocial support says UNICEF. These children need help to deal with the trauma of living through more than three years of violence. The children who most desperately need support live in Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts which are within 15 kilometres of the line that separates government and non-government controlled which is where the fighting is at its fiercest.
"The world has forgotten about this invisible crisis in eastern Ukraine, but hundreds of thousands of children are paying a heavy price, one that could last a lifetime without adequate support. We urgently need funds to reach these traumatized children," said UNICEF Ukraine Representative Giovanna Barberis.
Living in chronic fear
The children who live nearest to the line of control are living in chronic fear and uncertainty which is caused by the sporadic shelling and unpredictable breakout of fighting. They are also confronted by the dangers of landmines and other unexploded devices. These children risk their lives just to get an education. During the most recent escalation of violence that took place this year between February and March, seven schools were damaged. Over 740 schools or 20 per cent of schools in Eastern Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed since the beginning of the conflict back in 2014.
Children require intense psychological support
The vast majority of the 200,000 children that require intense psychological support in Eastern Ukraine are simply not receiving proper care. Services are underfunded and over extended. Social workers and specially trained teachers as well as psychologists are working 24 hours a day. However, as the proxy war continues additional funds are necessary to meet the needs of the children.
Appealing for donations
UNICEF is asking for donations totalling US$31.2 million in order to deliver support to these children and their families that have been scarred by conflict in Eastern Ukraine. This includes $5.5 million to deliver protection for children as well as psychosocial support. At present, UNICEF has not even received a third of the funds it needs and child protection is critically underfunded.
"Children should not have to live with the emotional scars from a conflict they had no part in creating. Additional support is needed now so that young people in Donetsk and Luhansk can grow into healthy adults and rebuild their communities," said Barberis. "Children and their families urgently need peace. We call on all sides of the conflict to recommit to the ceasefire signed in Minsk to end this senseless violence."
Concern Worldwide Seeks €25 Million For East Africa Crisis Appeal
Category: Concern Worldwide
Concern Worldwide, the international aid agency has launched an East African Crisis Appeal and is looking to raise €25 Million. The money will be used to deliver emergency support for 1.8 million people in the region that urgently require food assistance as a result of drought and conflict across what is an incredibly fragile region. The aid agency has sent in Emergency Response Teams to deal with humanitarian situation that is worsening by the day in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and South Sudan.
20 million people affected
There are more than 20 million people who require immediate assistance in the form of food, water and shelter. In some parts of South Sudan, famine has already been declared affecting 4.9 million people or 40 per cent of the country's entire population. These people urgently require food assistance with 100,000 people already at risk of starvation. Conflict as a result of ethnic tension combined with drought has made the problem even more acute. Staff from Concern that are there on the ground are reporting harrowing accounts of families who are fleeing the violence.
Starvation across the continent
Somalia is in a very similar situation with conflict and drought combining to produce famine-like conditions with 6.2 million people or 50 per cent of the country's population in urgent requirement of food assistance. It is estimated that 363,000 children in Somalia under the age of five is acutely malnourished. In Kenya 2.7 million people face food insecurity whilst in Ethiopia 5.6 million people will require food assistance as a result of the rains failing to arrive.
Concern delivering aid
Concern is delivering a wide variety of services ranging from food, water, nutrition, shelter, sanitation and cash to all countries affected by the crisis. But it urgently requires €25 Million to reach nearly 1.8 million people before the crisis escalates further. Feargal O'Connell who was the most recent country director for South Sudan says that hunger levels across East Africa has reached critical levels. It is predicted that malnutrition rates will climb further with a number of states experiencing extreme shortages of food. Mr. O'Connell says this is a humanitarian crisis that has reached breaking point.
Oxfam Looking For Volunteer Stewards For This Summer's Festival Season
Category: Oxfam
If you want to spend this summer attending some of the UK's best festivals, you should apply to Oxfam to act as a festival volunteer. The charity is looking for friendly people to be staff at festivals across the country during the summer such as Glastonbury, Shambala, Latitude, Leeds and Boardmasters. For those folks who sign up, they will have the opportunity to develop important new skills, make new life friends and enjoy the festivals free of charge. Organisers of these festivals pay Oxfam for volunteer stewards and this is one of the way Oxfam raises money to fund the important work it does fighting poverty.
A dream for music lovers
George Upcott of Oxfam says if you are a music lover then being a volunteer at festivals will be a dream come true. Each volunteer does three shifts at each event, but in between shifts volunteers are free to enjoy themselves just like any other attendee. The best thing about becoming a volunteer says Upcott is the chance to meet a great bunch of other like-minded people. Volunteering either as a campaigner, steward or at an on-site Oxfam shop is the ideal way to not only have a great time but also help Oxfam in its fight against poverty all over the world.
Help keep people safe
People who volunteer at festivals help keep people safe and offer information and advice to festival attendees. The type of jobs they carry out including welcoming attendees, checking their tickets or wristbands and controlling access to stages as well as managing crowd numbers. The stewards act as the face of the festival and take care of all areas such as campsites, gates and arenas.
The great leveller
Mark Grayson who has been a volunteer for the last 25 years says at Glastonbury there are more than 2,000 Oxfam stewards with people ranging from 18 years' olds up to people who are in their 70's. Grayson says it's a great leveller. Everyone leaves their normal lives behind and it's no longer important what car people drive, where they live or what their background is. He adds there is no pretentiousness and everyone displays a sense of warmth with the community raising money for Oxfam.
Steven Smith Plans To Take On The London Marathon Despite Spinal Cord Injury
Category: News
Steven Smith got some bad news following a burglary that turned violent at his property. He was told by doctors that he would never walk again. That may seem sad but the fact has not daunted Steven who has committed himself to participate in the London Marathon on the 23rd April 2017. Steven will take part to raise money for the Nicholls Spinal Injury Foundation (nsif) which is an organisation dedicated to developing a cure for spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis.
Surprising his doctors
Steven was at his holiday home in the South of France when the attack took place 5 years ago. Armed men broke into his house surprising him. In order to escape he jumped from his first-floor window but landed in a ravine breaking his spine in the process. He has consistently surprised his doctors with his recovery following his spinal injury and with the help of a walking stick is able to walk.
An incredibly difficult challenge
Whilst that is an amazing recovery Steven still has to face a whole host of complications caused by his injury. His goal is to finish the marathon in under 14 hours which is nothing short of incredible given the fact that he faces considerable difficulty and pain whilst moving. Steven is seeking to raise £250,000 for nsif which will use all the money raised to finance ground breaking research to source a cure for spinal cord injury.
Steven said "After my injury in 2011 my legs often feel extremely heavy – they feel like they are made of lead. I won't be training too much, as I don't want to aggravate the injury. I think I've only got one marathon in me and I don't want to run out of steam too early!"
Mike Milner, CEO of nsif commented, "The London Marathon is an enormous challenge for anyone taking part – but to undertake a challenge of this scale when every step is a struggle will really push Steven to his limits. Steven has shown incredible mental and physical strength in his attempt to recover from his injury. Many people don't realise the extent of the complications that a spinal cord injury can cause, it is a life-long battle for good health due to the hidden effects of the injury. We believe in a future where there will be a cure for spinal injury and we are enormously grateful to Steven taking on this epic challenge".

Save The Children Says Syrian Children Experiencing Toxic Stress
Category: Save the Children
Save the Children says that millions of children in war torn Syria could be living in a state of "toxic" stress as a result of extended exposure to the horrors of war. The charity says that an entire generation of children could be damaged irreversibly without immediate aid. The stress of war has caused children to engage in self harm, bed wetting, attempted suicide and aggressive behaviour. The findings were based on hundreds of interviews with children in Syria.
The largest study of its kind
The study by Save the Children is the largest of its kind covering the mental health and well-being of children stuck in Syria's protracted civil war which is now 6 years old and has left more than 300,000 people dead. The report titled "Invisible Wounds" concludes with the fact that the mental health crisis of children trapped in the war is simply terrifying. The aid agency spoke to over 450 people as part of its research including kids of various ages, parents, caregivers, teachers, aid workers and teachers.
Almost all children affected
The study found that almost all children and 84 per cent of the adults said bombing and shelling were the main cause of stress for children. Two thirds of children have lost a loved one or had their home bombed or shelled. 71 per cent of those interviewed said that children were increasingly wetting their bed and involuntary urination is a symptom of toxic stress or PTSD. 48 per cent of adults interviewed said they had seen children losing their ability or suffer from speech impediments since the onset of war.
Toxic stress impedes development
About 2.3 million children have managed to flee the conflict in Syria and at least three million children under the age of six have never known anything other than war according to the report. Toxic stress can impede how the brain and other organs develop, increasing the risk of mental health problems developing in adulthood according to researchers.
"After six years of war we are at a tipping point, after which the impact on children's formative years and childhood development may be so great that the damage could be permanent and irreversible. The risk of a broken generation, lost to trauma and extreme stress, has never been greater " said Dr Marcia Brophy, a senior mental health adviser with Save the Children.
Study conducted only in safe areas
The research for the report was conducted in parts of Syria where Save the Children and its local partners were able to work. According to the aid agency the survey was conducted in mainly opposition-held areas. The report suggests that kids in areas under the control of either the government or the Islamic State where the agency is unable to work are also more than likely to be experiencing traumatic events.
Unicef Working To Help Deliver Aid To Drought Stricken Kenya
Category: UNICEF
Last year a severe drought began which has affected arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya and potentially threatens millions of people. Unicef is providing aid to the Kenyan Government through the implementation of an emergency response effort that is saving the lives of households affected by the lack of rain and shortage of food. The agency is also strengthening its coordination activities with the government and monitoring the most vulnerable groups.
2.7 million people affected
The most recent data measured at the end of February suggests that 2.7 million people require water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance. 1.1. million children are facing food insecurity whilst over 100,000 children are severely malnourished and in need of treatment. The drought has also forced 174,000 children to leave school.
National disaster declared
The Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has declared the drought a national disaster and has requested international support. Unicef is working with a number of other aid agencies to provide assistance and is the sector lead for nutrition, child protection, education and WASH. The agency is also expanding its sectoral coordination. Werner Schultink Unicef's representative in Kenya says the agency should not only strive to alleviate the suffering but also help families become more resilient as well as improve the local government's capacity to deal with future droughts and other natural disasters.
Delivering aid
Through its partnership with other agencies and stakeholders, Unicef is delivering aid to children in 23 arid and semi-arid land counties. By January 2017 the agency had delivered 12,000 cartons of essential Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods for the treatment of 12,000 severely- malnourished children. Aside from the ability to enable people to access water, Unicef is working with county governments throughout Kenya to rehabilitate broken borewells and provide water purification commodities such as soap. The aid agency is committed to reaching all children and their families that have been affected by the drought and is scaling up its contribution to the Government led response.

Hello guys! In this article, we are going to show you how to monitor data usage in Windows 10. Also, we will show you how to reset those numbers back to zero.
So let's start. Go to Start button and click on Settings. Once the settings panel is open, go to Network & Internet.
Here we have an overview of data usage, so if you want to look more in-depth, you can click button and it will show you some details.
In this list, you can see all the items that have been using your network data. In our case, we can see the apps like Microsoft Edge, FoxitReader and OneDrive. So, this is how you can monitor your data usage. You need to know, that you can monitor network data usage only from last 30 days.
If you want to reset these figures, just close this window and go to the search area. Type msconfig and open up the System Configuration. Once you got this, go to the Boot section. We are going to safe boot, because you cannot delete the data without being in safe mode.
After that just restart the system. This should take straight into a safe mode.
Right click on Start menu and go to the File Explorer. Then we are going to go to C: Drive -> Windows -> System32 -> sru. What we need to do here is just delete everything inside.
Once you have deleted all the content in that folder, reboot the system again. But before that you should go to msconfig and take off the safe boot mode. Apply changes and now restart the system.
Now go back to Network & Internet and you will see that all the data is now being reset.
There are many other ways of monitoring your network, but if we are talking about Windows, it is the easiest way. Of course, it is a bit of a nightmare to reset the data, but that is how it works. If you have any questions, you are free to leave them in the comments section below.

THE STONE Roses played their first live gig in public for 15 years last night,
The Sun can reveal.
John Squire, 49, Ian Brown, 48, Gary "Mani" Mounfied, 49, and Alan "Reni"
Wren, 47, stunned fans when they appeared on stage at The Ritz, in their
home town Manchester.
The band were playing a benefit gig for the victims of Hillsborough, on the
same bill as indie rockers The Farm.
Fans posted messages on Twitter hailing the surprise appearance.
@SarahCityLife said: "I am watching Ian Brown and John Squire sharing a
stage and LOSING MY MIND!!!"
The Sun revealed earlier this year how the band were reforming after a bitter
15 year feud between frontman Brown and guitarist Squire.
They buried the hatchet at the funeral of Mani's mother in April, paving the
way for the full reunion.
The band held a press conference last month to announce a world tour in 2012.
The band sold 225,000 tickets for three dates at Heaton Park within minutes of
going on sale.
They will also headline T In The Park, V Festival and Benicassim in Spain next

2a : opposed to one's interests an adverse verdict heard testimony adverse to their position; especially : unfavorable adverse criticismb : causing harm : harmful adverse drug effects
3 archaic : opposite in position
Examples of adverse in a Sentence
The Bankruptcy Code requires that debtor's counsel be disinterested and not have an interest adverse to the estate. —Lawyers Weekly USA, 4 Oct. 1999
On more than one occasion his decrees provoked riots, and there were those who voiced adverse opinions on the Duke in public. —Alison Weir, The Princes in the Tower, 1992

adverse vs. averse
Many people find themselves confused when faced with the choice between adverse and averse. While these two adjectives have many similarities, they are not used interchangeably.
If you want to describe a negative reaction to something (such as a harmful side effect from medication) or dangerous meteorological conditions (such as a snowstorm), adverse is the correct choice; you would not say that you had an averse reaction to medication or that there was averse weather.
Averse is most commonly followed by the preposition to (as in "she is averse to shellfish"), but not in every case; you can, for example, describe someone as "risk averse." Normally, averse to signifies a degree of dislike and avoidance, but when preceded by the word not (as in "he was not averse to having another drink"), it may be used as a pointedly understated way to express an interest in something.
In short, adverse tends to be used to describe effects, conditions, and results; while averse refers to feelings and inclinations.
Origin and Etymology of adverse
Middle English, from Anglo-French advers, from Latin adversus, past participle of advertere —see 1advert
First Known Use: 14th century
ADVERSE Defined for English Language Learners

Some users of iMac have been experiencing problems with their ATI Radeon graphics cards. The chief problem is that the system stops responding while working. Now, Apple has re-released the iMac graphics firmware 3.0. The word re-released is being used because Apple released this version back in August last year and has now released it again under the same version number. This means the new update essentially contains few changes and is meant primarily to fix the aforementioned problem.
This firmware update form Apple specifically deals with the problems some graphics card on iMac systems have been causing. It is a download that includes the ROM flasher for Radeon GPUs. Apple hasn't specifically mentioned what problems this new update fixes. However, it has claimed that the new update will resolve the problems that lead to system hang – so naturally, it is being surmised that the new firmware update deals with the graphics card problems.
Apple has also not detailed the systems for which this update is valid. So you can confirm this by opening the 'Software Update' on your iMac and see the patch. If you are able to view the patch listed, then the update will work on your iMac. But if opening the update prompts a message that it is not supported on your system, naturally it isn't applicable to your system.
Do not forget to back up your system before you apple the update. During the course of installation, the update may cause your system to restart a number of times, but that's perfectly normal, so you need not worry about it.

Three Days Later
I managed to avoid Cameron for three days. They'd been the longest three days of my entire life. I'd see a dumb commercial and want to call him to complain. I'd get a stupid customer at work, who didn't understand the concept of '2-for-1', and want to laugh with him at our obviously doomed civilization.
But, I couldn't bring myself to call him. I was embarrassed. I knew that if I saw him, it would just be awkward for both of us. I couldn't bring myself to dial his number. I knew that there would be some awkward silence, followed by the dreaded 'So...'.
Clearly, from the lack of urgent texts on my cell, Cam felt pretty much the same.
Unfortunately, because we did so many of the same things, our paths did cross. Luckily, when they eventually did, in the library at the University, he wasn't with Erin.
"Hey, you." he said.
"Hey...you." I echoed.
"I haven't seen you in ages, where have you been, Charlotte?" He often called me this, because he found it humourous with my last name, Webber.
"Not a whole lot Cam...I...have to go..."
"Don't keep avoiding me, I miss you! What are you doing, like...right now?"
I'm standing here, awkwardly talking to you, avoiding the topic we're both thinking about...
I bit my tongue. "Just getting out a couple of books for the psych essay."
"Let's go and grab a bite to eat. We can maybe go and catch a movie or something after!" He seemed genuinely enthused by prospect.
"Sounds good." I tried to fake a smile and push 'the incident' into the back of my mind. If he was willing to ignore it, I was too.

I'm going with Chase Utley as my infielder, Brad Hawpe as my outfielder and the San Francisco Giants as my pitching staff (with two starts from Matt Cain).

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
To those interested:
I am a physiologist currently working with the English Institute of Sport, and am looking for talented runners to participate in a research study.
The basics are it will involve two visits to our performance laboratory based at Loughborough university. One visit for a full physiological assessment including submaximal and maximal running assessments, body composition and several anthropometric measures, lasting roughly 2 hours in total. The second will entail a session of uphill and downhill running (all subtempo paced), lasting one hour in total (~25 minutes of running in total). The only stipulation we have in terms of times for these sessions is the latter has to be performed in the morning (between 8 and 10.30am) following a light breakfast.
We are unable to subsidise any travel to and from the facility. However, in return for participation, you will be provided with full feedback of the physiological assessment, including a full breakdown of the results and how this may be translated into your training programme.
For more details, please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com

HurtAs I walked to class wearing my usal T-shirt,jeans,army jacket,and combat boots,I got a couple of dirty looks from the rest of the girls around me.As usual I just tried to shake it off.I walked into class the teacher wasn't there because I always came in early.I was met with Zander.I turned to walk away and to my desk.But there he stood stareing down at me."What do you want"I asked. "For you to be normal"He said pushing me down.My books flew everywere.I hit the ground hard and struggled to get back up.He picked me up off the ground to only throw me back down again.He beckoned for the rest of his gang.Everyone gathered around me.I was kicked,punched, slapped,and cut.Tears burned in my eyes as they left.I hugged my knees and burried my face in my arms,starting to sob.The teacher came in."Zane,whats the matter"She asked kneeling by me.I looked up and wiped the tears from my eyes. "I'm fine" I said picking up my stuff and walking to my desk.
During class a paper ball was throwen on my desk.I opened it. "Kill yourself" it read.I picked up my bag and right in the middle of class I got up and left.I ran from the school and feel to my knees. "I'm perfect,I'm fine,I'm okay,I'm human" I said to myself. "I'm a worthless,I'm a mistake,I need to die" I heard in my head.I replayed those true words in my head.I was worthless.I was a mistake.I did need to die.I quickly felt tears burn in my eyes again."Don't pity yourself with tears,Zane" I said trying to blink back the tears.But I couldn't help it.I sobbed.When people walked pass and asked if I was okay.I looked at them straight in the face with tears running down my face saying "I'm okay".

|Student Sample
This is a lesson that I've feared doing for quite some time now. My first experience doing one-point perspective with students was when I was student teaching at a middle school a year and a half ago. The teacher I was working with often taught his 7th graders how to write their names in one-point perspective... and so I designed a project that would be very similar to his. I spent HOURS putting together a custom animated powerpoint (which was indeed amazing) to show students how to draw in one-point perspective. I THOUGHT I would just show them - and then they'd be good to go. Ohhhh how naive of me. ;) haha
So I knew going into this one that I might have some issues teaching it effectively but ended up being pleasantly surprised!
On Monday I started by showing my 5th graders a Powerpoint which explained what drawing in one-point perspective means and entails. The powerpoint also had some custom animated slides which demonstrated to students the steps of drawing in one point perspective (horizon line, vanishing point, 'receding lines' - otherwise called orthogonal lines, and parallel lines).
After showing the Powerpoint I gave each student a piece of paper and asked them to draw a horizon line in the middle of their paper and a vanishing point. The along with them on my white board, we drew six shapes and put them into one-point perspective. *This is one thing I learned when teaching in middle school - no matter HOW well animated your powerpoint is, you STILL need to draw it in person along side them. Some students just need to physically see you do it!
On Tuesday we began with a new blank sheet of paper on which I had students draw a horizon line and vanishing point. This time however, I had them go ahead an draw two receding lines from the vanishing point towards the edge of the page (to make the road). I then demonstrated step-by-step how to draw their shape face (which ends up being the side of the building) so that the bottom corner touches the edge of the receding line. Then they draw a line from the top corner of their shape to the vanishing point. Then students line up their ruler with the side of their shape and slide it towards the vanishing point (without changing the angle) to determine their buildings length - then draw a line. Once those steps are completed, students erase all the lines they no longer need (extra receding line, horizon line inside their form, etc.).

Finally on Wednesday-Friday we move onto the big 12"x18" paper to create our final drawings. Students begin in pencil, then outline in sharpie, and then color in with color sticks (I'd love to try watercolor instead). Because I know how frustrating and confusing drawing in one-point perspective can be (I still remember tearing up over it as a high school student) - I created a worksheet (which is left on their table while they are drawing) to refer to in case they forgot how to do a step.

Valentine's Day is one of those annoying holidays created by merchants to make a few bucks off us by guilting us into remembering our sweethearts.
The Whitman's Sampler is one of the most horrible chocolate abominations ever created. If you're going to give chocolate, give Godiva. *drool* Now, if there was a Whitman's Sampler of ammunition in all varieties, that would be fun.
I'm happy to see my sweetheart carrying his new knife daily, though he has to deep conceal it because he's not allowed to have any kind of weapon at work.It's hard for women to find something appropriately lovey-dovey for guys. It's "assumed" that the gift given has to be romantic. What does that leave us with? Smelly cologne the guy will never use and will make me sneeze anyway? I've decided to screw the candy and fluffy teddy bears and stick to sharp pointy things and other manly things like football tickets and socket wrenches.I went through that for a little while until I just sat my wife down and said, lets go shopping. We'll get you something you want and me something I want. It works for us.

... But did you know NASCAR's cannot be run on a wet track surface. So after waiting patiently for the majority of the day, watching the rain get heavier and then lighter, we were a but guttered to hear that racing has be postponed until Sunday.

This modern rustic home is situated on 3-acres among the trees and has a stunning garden surrounding the house. It is situated on the hills above the lake and allows for a 180 degree view of the water.
The serene master suit is located on the entire upper floor of the home and furnished with a superior king sized bed. Enjoy a soak in the claw foot tub while taking in the beautiful mountain view.
On the main floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room and two bedrooms. The main floor sleeps 4, with a spacious king bed and bunk beds in the neighbouring room.
Steps from the house is a detached suite with a comfy hide-a-bed. This cozy space is a relaxing reading area with a fireplace and small table.
Guest have the house completely to themselves! If there are any questions or concerns I am a quick email or phone call away.
A five minute drive leads you to boat/sea-do rentals, restaurants, golf, horseback riding, hiking trails and much more. Within a 5-7 minute drive you can spend the day at one of our many stunning beaches, including Traders Cove Park, Bear Creek Park, or Raymer Bay. All of these options include playground and picnic areas, with large sandy beaches.
Downtown Kelowna is a short 20 minute drive away. There you will find additional beaches, local shows, wine tours, nightlife and more. There are also restaurants, movie theatres and grocery stores located at the beginning of Westside Rd.
My name is Erin and this is my husband Kyle. We like to think of ourselves as relaxed, carefree people! Our hobbies include being outdoors doing pretty much anything. Animals are one of the most important things in our lives and we will never go through a day without them.
We are super excited to share our lovely home with others. This 'retreat' as we like to call it, is our favourite place on earth. The moment we walked into it we could feel the amazing energy throughout every room and just wanted to stay. So we bought it! We truly want others to have the same experience and fall in love the way we did. This space, indoors and out, is something that everyone has to experience.
As hosts we want all of our guests to feel as though they are home, with a little something extra. We will go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is comfortable and has everything that they could need and more. We refuse to post 'rules' because we like to believe in mutual respect, and hope that our guests will treat our home as they would their own.
This gorgeous cottage, with its luxurious bedrooms, living space, kitchen and linens, spectacular lake view and peaceful, remote setting was the PERFECT home base for a relaxing week in Kelowna.
Spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable, we had everything we needed to feel right at home.
The days were spent doing trips throughout Kelowna, and evenings were spent on the hammock and deck, roasting marshmallows. The beach was a 3 minute drive north, and a few lovely parks were a 5 minute drive south. The beds were soooo comfortable, and the bunk beds were perfect for kids. Even the dog had a blast there! Erin and Kyle were unbelievably friendly, quickly answered our emails, gave us a heads-up about local roadwork and even took the extra effort after checkout to search for our daughter's lost stuffed animal.
2 recommendations for future guests -- the grocery store is about a 25 minute drive south (longer with the road closures), so it helps to have a bunch of groceries with you when you check in, to avoid heading back into town again. Also, the roadwork on Westside road is pretty disrupting, so calling the information hotline helped a lot -- the road is shut down for a few hours a day, and when it's not closed, it's on 15 minute alternating lanes. So heads up if you're heading out for a scheduled event. Will stay here again and again. Thanks for a fantastic time.
Our family has travelled extensively and we have stayed in two man tents in the middle of the outback to deluxe Fairmont hotels and this home was the best of the best.
More than a year ago when our daughter and her husband decided they wanted to get married in Kelowna I needed to find a home large enough to accommodate 8 adults and two large dogs and we lucked out.
The owners went out of their way to ensure that the wedding was a success, they quickly answered my multiple emails over the year with patience and great information and even contacted me the morning of the wedding to ensure all was well.
The house is beautiful, the view stunning, and the seclusion for our family and dogs was perfect.
They thought of everything from iron and ironing board to poop bags for your dogs, to starter amounts of dish soap, kleenex, toilet paper, soap and shampoo, spices, garbage bags, linen, beach towels, battery operated lanterns for the deck at night.
The rooms are spacious, immaculate, beds are very comfortable, plenty of hot water for showers, lots of parking, the kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave and full stove/oven and a dishwasher too!
The gardens are so beautiful that the photographer decided to take pre-wedding photos of my daughter there rather than at the golf course where the wedding was to take place.
The deck in the front of the house was perfect for meals and for hanging out in the evening.
The yard has fencing around so the dogs could wander and not be on leash all the time.
We were very excited to stay in this home for our two weeks in Kelowna and our expectations were fully met.
Well done, Kyle and Erin and thank you both!!!
We stayed a week in early August in this house and everyone of our party love this place! It can comfortably house two families. The garden was stunning, so is the view of the lake. The house has most of everything we need during our stay. Erin was very responsive in answering questions in a timely manner and gave timely and helpful instructions before our arrival. the check-in and check-out was painless. The house is located on the quiet side of the lake, and takes only a quick drive to access everything else.
Everything was simply amazing! The house and location are beautiful. Perfect for a peaceful, relaxing vacation with the family. Kyle, Erin and Mike were great at getting back to us and we couldn't have asked for more. The gardens are outstanding and the view of the lake is breathtaking.
This place was awesome! It was clean, cozy and scenery is the perfect getaway for a couple or family. My family and I stayed for 4 days, and really enjoyed it! There was a small problem that came up, but the owners responded quickly and addressed the issue right away! I was really satisfied! The drive was a little inconvenient at this time because the road had a lot of construction. However, the house is incredibly worth it!
The house is amazing. Spacious, stocked with everything you need and an amazing view. The only thing better than the house were the owners. They were so accommodating, responsive and willing to be flexible and help any way they could. Highly recommend this rental.

Martial Arts In Movies: A List Of The Best Martial Arts Seen In Film
In 1955 Spencer Tracy played a one armed stranger who takes on a town full of hoodlums in "Bad day at Black Rock." While the plot may sound familiar what made the film unique was that Tracy took on his opponents using martial arts. It was the first time audiences had ever seen a proper combat system used in a film. But it would certainly not be the last. Martial arts films have become a genre unto themselves in Hollywood. Beverly Hills martial arts also play an important role in almost any action blockbuster. Here we look at some of the most notable examples of martial arts that featured in movies.
Jason Bourne – Kali
In the Bourne series Matt Damon's super spy is an unstoppable martial arts machine. This fast paced martial art style originated in the Philippines. It is notable for being very useful when you need to quickly transition from fighting using an empty hand into holding a weapon. Jason Bourne uses this facet of Kali to great effect in the Jason Bourne films. Your see his character often making use of found objects to take down as opponents. Kali also emphasises an extreme form of combat which often involves inflicting critical levels of damage to the person that you are fighting. Just the thing you need when you are evading a government Black Ops team!
The Raid – Pencak Silat
The Indonesian martial arts action film "The Raid" grabbed critical and public attention for its incredible fight choreography. The martial art featured in the film is Pencak Silat a traditional Indonesian combat system. The lead actor in the Raid was Iko Uwais who actually studied the martial art style Pencak Silat since the age of ten. Indonesia is a collection of thousands of different islands, many of which in ancient times had their own kingdom. Silat originated on the battlefield between these kingdoms. It was important not only to defeat your opponent but to defeat them in the most efficient way possible. This was put to great effect in the Raid as Uwais takes on a brutal crime lord and his gang.
Enter The Dragon – Jeet Kune Do
Bruce Lee is unquestionably the most famous martial artist to ever appear on the silver screen. While Bruce Lee would appear in many different Martial arts films "Enter the Dragon" stands apart. The film is often considered the best martial arts film ever made. Not only is an incredibly entertaining it had a huge cultural impact. The film is responsible for starting the kung fu craze. In the film Bruce Lee uses the martial that he had created himself. Known as Jeet Kune Do this hybrid martial art is distinctive for not having a fixed for patent. The underlying philosophy though is to use minimal movement with the maximum impact and at the fastest speed. This is something that Lee put on a great display in the film.
Red Belt – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
In Red Belt martial arts teacher and Brazilian jiu jitsu studio owner Mike Terry is faced with a series of moral dilemmas. Should he compromise his own beliefs to keep his martial arts studio afloat. Terry believes that fighting for money is not honorable and so although he desperately needs prize money he refuses to enter the ring. At the end of the film Terry puts on a stunning display of Brazilian jiu jitsu taking down the reigning jiu jitsu champion. The film shows just how incredibly effective Brazilian jiu jitsu can be when used by someone who knows what they are doing.
Karate Kid – Karate
No list about martial arts in movies would be complete without reference to the film the Karate Kid. The 1984 martial arts drama inspired a generation of western children and teenagers to take up the Japanese martial art karate. It also made famous the phrase "wax on, works off", killing flies with your chopsticks and a dozen other martial arts tropes. In the film Daniel played by Ralph Macchio learns to overcome bullies and win the girl by studying karate under Mr Miyagi. While more than a little bit cheesy, the Karate Kid is undeniably entertaining and many 80s kids entry point into the martial arts.
The diversity of martial arts means that there is still plenty of rich territory for Hollywood filmmakers to explore. Martial arts with their fast paced, kinetic motions are perfect for the silver screen. We can expect to see martial arts used in ever more innovative ways in the future.
