Part 2: Changing Climate Means Changing Oceans
Part 3: Youth Outlook 2030: Young Filmmakers Make Litter Scary
National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) presented its 11th National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment: Our Changing Oceans from January 19-21, 2011 in Washington, DC. Our Changing Oceans was held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.
Our Changing Oceans provided a forum to address the crisis facing our oceans, new knowledge and innovative tools to address the challenge, and the policy and governance needed to restore and protect the oceans.
Our Changing Oceans brought together over 1,200 attendees, including scientists, professionals, policy makers, university faculty and students, and educated citizens from a wide range of disciplines. Participants shared their perspectives and developed a set of policy recommendations which will be distributed to the appropriate decision-makers. NCSE submitted the recommendations to the National Ocean Council, in response to the call for comments on the Council's Strategic Action Plans. In an effort to maximize impact, the recommendations were first mapped onto the nine national priority objectives which include the following: Ecosystem-Based Management; Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning; Inform Decisions and Improve Understanding; Coordinate and Support; Resiliency and Adaptation to Climate Change and Ocean Acidification; Regional Ecosystem Protection and Restoration; Water Quality and Sustainable Practices on Land; Changing Conditions in the Arctic; and Ocean, Coastal, and Great Lakes Observations, Mapping, and Infrastructure. View the final recommendations here!
NCSE utilizes a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach to convene involved scientists and decision-makers from various sectors of society. Our conferences include renowned speakers, topical symposia to explore issues more in depth, and breakout sessions to develop a set of recommendations on how to advance science and connect it to policy and decision-making.

Giant Multi-Headed Dog
this wiki
|editGiant Multi-Headed Dog
|Volume #41, Naruto Chapter #375
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #131
|Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Game
|Presumed Deceased
A large, multi-headed dog with wings, this summon has a number of body piercings and Rinnegan, implying it is being controlled by Pain.
It was modified by Pain using the Amplification Summoning Technique, so that it can split apart, when struck, into individual dogs that can then merge back together. It gains additional heads every time it splits in this way, and each duplicated head carries the Chakra Receiver and the Rinnegan like the original. According to Nagato, the only way it can be defeated is by defeating its original summoner. In the anime, this summon is seen at different sizes, ranging from several stories tall to just tall enough to fit underneath trees.
This dog is also physically strong and resilient, since it broke through an ANBU Captain's Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop technique, and another's Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind, and received no more than minor burns from Fire Release: Fired Pottery Technique despite having its legs cut off by the Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique. Even a usually devastating attack, such as the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken couldn't kill it easily, as the dog merely continued to multiply.[1]
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
It was first summoned during Pain's fight with Jiraiya, but Gamaken was able to fend it off.
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
In the anime during the Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc, it appeared in front of Tsurugi and his hunter-nin unit and attacked them.
Invasion of Pain Arc
It was summoned again during his attack on Konoha, where it fought against Gamaken, Gamabunta, and Gamahiro. They were unable to prevent it from splitting and it only disappeared once Naruto defeated the Animal Path.
Shinobi World War Arc
It was summoned again during Nagato's and Itachi Uchiha's fight with Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B. Naruto attacks it only for Nagato to remind him that it can't be beaten directly. Later, after Itachi was freed from Kabuto's control with the use of a powerful genjutsu and his crow, he uses Amaterasu on the dog, incapacitating it.
- This animal summoning has the qualities of two Greek Mythological creatures, the Hydra (its abilities to produce more heads) and the Cerberus (its appearance of a dog with several heads).

- "Short range, high-impact automatic weapon. Popular with Cuban drug barons and other law-breakers. No social benefit to this one - unlike most machine guns."
- — GTA Vice City Website.
The TEC-DC 9 (commonly known as TEC-9) is a light submachine gun appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The TEC 9 has a slow fire rate holding 50 shots in the magazine. It is commonly used by gangs. When the Hitman skill level is reached in GTA San Andreas, the TEC 9 can be dual-wielded.
The TEC 9 is a cheap open-bolt handgun manufactured in the United States between 1980 to 1994 by Intratec. It is based on the Carl-Gustav M/45 submachine gun, more commonly known as the "Swedish K". Originally it was designed as a low-cost alternative to the M/45, but never found a military market. Not wanting to abandon the idea, Intratec put semi-automatic versions onto the civilian market. It gained infamy after criminals found the open-bolt design to be easily convertible to be fully automatic.
GTA Vice City
- Vice Point - Behind a house near the end of the cul-de-sac across the bridge west of the Well Stacked Pizza Co.

- Ganton, Los Santos - Inside the Johnson House after spraying all 100 Gang Tags.

- Used by most Los Santos Vagos in the mission Los Desperados.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Saint Mark's, Portland - On a long alleyway southeast of Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club.
- In GTA San Andreas, the TEC 9 shares the same weapon skill as the Micro Uzi and both level up through the use of either weapon.
- In GTA San Andreas, the TEC 9 is used by all Los Santos based gangs in missions only while it is only used by members of the Grove Street Families until it is replaced by the SMG when all gang tags sprayed over.
- In GTA San Andreas, firing while in a vehicle increases the weapons fire rate tremendously compared to the normal fire rate while on foot.
- In GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories, one TEC-9 bullet is equivalent to a Pistol bullet.
- In GTA San Andreas, the TEC 9 has no recoil animation.

Juanita Jackson Mitchell helped reestablish Twin Cities NAACP branches
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Juanita Jackson Mitchell (1913-1992) only lived in St. Paul for four years, but her impact during that stint laid an eventual path to many firsts in Minnesota. The Juanita Jackson Mitchell Crusader for Freedom Exhibit, a compilation of Mitchell's personal photographs and other artifacts, was on display at the State Capitol May 8-14. It is a traveling exhibit on loan from Roland Park Country School in Baltimore, Maryland, where it was established in 1995, three years after her death in 1992 of heart failure at age 79. "This exhibit [is] about her life," Minnesota State General Counsel Micah Hines told the MSR prior to the May 8 opening program and tour. Continue Reading →

Jamie Oliver slams 'weird' government; insists 'obesity bigger problem than hunger'
12:54 21 June 2012
"Devastated" celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has blasted the government as "illogical, unreasonable and weird."
Oliver is furious that rules on healthy school meals have not been enforced inside academies – which are quasi-autonomous from government.
Under current arrangements, it is claimed academies can by-pass regulations governing school meals.
Oliver slammed what he claims is an erosion of standards by the Coalition in power.
He lashed out following two 'pointless' meetings with Education Secretary Michael Gove about how to tackle obesity in children caused by unhealthy eating.
"I've lost faith in Government. I'll pay my taxes, but I don't particularly expect to see anything," said Oliver.
"Michael Gove is a nice enough chap and he's got great energy, but it took me a couple of meetings to realise there's no point in going back again.
"He's saying that he doesn't want to tell people what to do, but the thing is, you have standards for nursing, teaching and these are legal requirements and standards.
"I don't think in this current health environment, that one man has the right to take away something that would help prolong people's lives and make them more enjoyable and hopefully set up some better habits long-term."
The TV show Oliver hosted called Jamie's School Meals triggered reform of canteen menus across the country by setting new standards.
"I know people don't want to over-manage or micro-manage, but we are in the middle of two extremes - hunger and obesity," he said.
"For the first time, the latter has taken over famine. It's a massive, massive problem and what he's basically saying is that he's not going to change his mind about it, until he's out of power or if it proves to make a negative difference.
"The thing is, these standards will take about two or three years to fully erode. I don't understand why we have to go through this erosion one way or another," Oliver told the Press Association.
In parliament this week, Mr Gove hailed the famous chef's "passion."
"All schools need to improve the quality of their meals, and we'll be making an announcement shortly - not a U-turn - but building upon the platform that Jamie Oliver has created."

Good call, it's a wonderful map.
Map (Click to enlarge)
Created in: Photoshop & Inkscape
Some lovely detail and painstaking labelling in this map. Sapiento started with an outline map of North America, which he traced in inkscape and then overlaid the colour work in photoshop using inkscape again to create the flags. Note the little purple stamps in the bottom left corner and the shift of the pole to somewhere off the west coast.
The labels are particularly interesting to read: 'The Empyre of Texarado' has swollen to absorb the midwest, Alaska is now simply 'Laska' and the Flags tell of a democracy which has (d)evolved into a balkanised continent governed by theocracies and pseudo medieval noble houses (at least to my eye).
This map is all in the detail, and there's plenty of it to enjoy.

I'm honoured. And this for my first entry.
Very sweet.
I'm a Gamma World fan and am actually running a game right now - otherwise I'd consider snagging this as the new political map of Meriga.
Congratulations! Great looking map. And from a fellow Austrian, too.

Great stuff, I love the Fallout universe, and this kind of fits in a little (Post apocolyptic)
Wow - one of the best maps I have ever seen in my life. Can I say any more?
My first (and only) maps to date!:
Coa'q Island and Pinser Shore!
I know a guy with a website all about GIMP - have a look (he hardly has any members so he needs helping out)
Awesome map. I like the idea of a post apoc Amerika that isn't democratic.
wow, this map is a stunner
Something witty and pithy

May 5, 2016
A senior defense official says Bowe Bergdahl, the Army sergeant who spent nearly five years as a Taliban captive in Afghanistan, has been returned to regular Army duty.
As of Monday he is assigned to U.S. Army North at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston in Texas. That is the same location where he has been decompressing from the effects of his lengthy captivity.
His exact duties were not immediately disclosed.
The Army was expected to officially announce the Bergdahl move Monday. A senior defense official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to provide details about the decision on the record before the announcement.
Bergdahl was released from captivity on May 31 in exchange for five top Taliban commanders imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay.
(Copyright 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)
A CNN report filed by Barbara Starr said a defense official reported Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has finished his therapy and counseling at a Texas Army hospital.
That same official told CNN the Sergeant could return to active duty work as soon as Monday.
Bergdahl was released by the Taliban in Afghanistan, in May during a prisoner swap with the United States.
Since that time, he has been undergoing re-integration treatment at an Army hospital in San Antonio.

See also: Tobi (Zetsu) and White Zetsu Army
Zetsu (ゼツ, Zetsu) is a member of Akatsuki and Madara Uchiha's most loyal subordinate. The black half is known as Black Zetsu (黒ゼツ, Kuro-Zetsu), while the white half was known as White Zetsu (白ゼツ, Shiro-Zetsu).[1]
White Zetsu was among the first of the many artificial humans which were created by Madara Uchiha using a living clone of Hashirama Senju and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.[2] Madara implied that Yin–Yang Release was also involved in the creation of White Zetsu and his clone siblings.[3] Like the rest of Madara's creations, White Zetsu was tasked with intelligence gathering before he and another spiral-patterned clone were entrusted with looking after the rehabilitating Obito Uchiha. Over time, the duo became friends with the young Uchiha.[4]
At some point when Obito's rehabilitation was near completion, White Zetsu returned to the base and alerted Obito that Kakashi Hatake and Rin were being attacked by Kirigakure shinobi. When the spiral-patterned Zetsu offered to help Obito by encasing himself around the young Uchiha in order to enable him to leave the cave, White Zetsu served to guide Obito telepathically with the information he received from his clone brothers stationed outside.[4][5] When they returned to Madara, White Zetsu assured him that no one had seen them and relayed information on what had happened after Konoha reinforcements had arrived, noting that Obito didn't kill Kakashi.[6]
When Madara was on the verge of death, he manifested his will and covered one half of White Zetsu with it, creating Black Zetsu. This in turn made the complete Zetsu partially a clone of Madara, albeit weaker.[7] Both halves later accompanied Obito to Amegakure to locate Nagato, who had unknowingly been given Madara's Rinnegan as a child. Zetsu then accompanied Obito as he approached the orphans, introducing himself as Madara Uchiha.[8]
Accordingly with his two differently coloured halves, Zetsu has two personalities: the original White Zetsu being carefree and playful with a habit of teasing others, traits he shares with many of his clone siblings.[9] Black Zetsu, however, is more serious and knowledgeable, being Madara's clone. In the Japanese version of the manga, Black Zetsu only uses katakana for okurigana and furigana, while White Zetsu uses kanji and kana regularly. This is often conveyed in the anime through their different voice tones. While the two halves sometimes differ in opinions and frequently converse with each other, they are still able to function as a single entity.
Zetsu is extremely trustworthy, obedient and loyal, being entrusted with Akatsuki's secrets and knowledge of Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan, which his white half believed to be beneficial to mankind.[10] Because of his ties to Madara, Zetsu has been working with Obito for a long time, originally helping Obito find and convince Nagato to join them. This is furthered by White Zetsu's long history with Obito when the boy was saved by Madara during the Third Shinobi World War. Though he annoyed Obito at first, White Zetsu eventually won the boy's friendship.[4] Like his clone, White Zetsu believed Madara was a good man at heart and saw no harm in helping Obito without Madara's permission.[11]. Unlike White Zetsu, who was kind to his allies, Black Zetsu saw anyone beneath Madara as useless. When Obito lost the tailed beasts, Black Zetsu commented on how he was a more effective servant to Madara. He also had no qualms about using Obito's dying body as a host when he fought Kakashi and Minato, showing just how little he cared about the Uchiha's well-being, while deriding on Obito for being useless for his treason.
Zetsu's main role within Akatsuki is to function as a spy with other duties that were similar to those of a hunter-nin. He is also able to control his body and take part in the tailed beast sealing ritual simultaneously, which, in addition to being unique to him, allows him to act as a lookout while the sealing takes place.[12] When an agent of Akatsuki, or possibly even a member, dies, Zetsu is sent to devour their bodies so as to not have their secrets revealed, which further adds to his nature as a half-plant creature.[13] Zetsu is also the one sent to retrieve the rings of dead Akatsuki members.[14] Due to the role he plays, Zetsu is the only member of Akatsuki to act without a partner on a regular basis. As such, he operated on his own, often moving between the different locations where the other Akatsuki members were located. This resulted in other members often reporting directly to him, rather than the figurehead leader, Pain. Zetsu would in turn report directly to Pain along with Obito, who took full control over the organisation after Nagato's death and treachery.[15]
Zetsu is easily distinguished by the two large venus fly-trap like extensions that envelop his head and upper body, giving him a plant-like appearance. When his extensions are open and his head is visible, it is revealed that Zetsu has short green hair, yellow eyes, and that his body has two different coloured halves. His left side is completely white, while the right side is almost entirely black. The black colour does not cover his black half's entire body, as it only extends partially down his leg, which was originally his white half's right leg. Under his Akatsuki cloak, Zetsu wears blue pants and sandals. He also has both legs wrapped in bandages, which hide the area where his right leg's black colouring merges with his white foot.
Unlike White Zetsu, who possesses human-like facial features and a proper eye, Black Zetsu shows no visible orifices at all and only his iris is visible. Black Zetsu also has white dots along the edges of his body where the two halves meet; these are not flat markings, but rather protrude from his body, like little white bumps.[16] White Zetsu also has unusually rounded teeth. In the anime, his fingernails are painted pink and his toenails, as seen at his début, are blue. He also wears his green Akatsuki ring, which bears the kanji for "sign of the boar" (亥, gai), on his right little finger.
When the two halves split apart, the plant-like extensions split and hang from the waists of both. Their clothes also split in half along with them, leaving each with one pant leg or half of an Akatsuki mantle, although the two halves later discard their torn clothing. When they are emerging from the ground while split, their plant-like extensions surround the two halves in a circular pattern. The two have also demonstrated the ability to grow an additional leg to substitute for their missing half when split. After escaping capture by Chōjūrō and reshaping the black matter in his lower body into a new upper body, Black Zetsu no longer has hair.
Zetsu, as a whole, has yet to be seen in battle. The technique he has been shown using the most is Mayfly, which allows him to merge with the ground to quickly travel to a new location, though he isn't as fast as Obito's space–time travelling.[17] This technique is ideal for Zetsu's function as a spy, as it erases his presence as well, and is an ability that both halves, as well as White Zetsu's clones, can use. In the anime, this technique allowed a White Zetsu Army clone to bury Deidara's underground mines.[18] In addition to functioning as a single entity by communicating through their thoughts, Zetsu's two halves are able to split apart, which allows them to act independently. While separated, the two halves can extend roots underground to communicate with each other over long distances.[19]
Being an artificial human, White Zetsu is able to survive without food or water and does not need to carry out normal human bodily functions.[20] He can also telepathically communicate with other clones, as long as they are within a certain range.[21] White Zetsu has mainly been seen using support abilities and Tobi has referred to him as not being a "front line" fighter.[22] With his Spore Technique, White Zetsu is able to plant spores on the bodies of others, which are undetectable even to sensors and Kage-level shinobi. Once activated, these spores grow into a mass around the individuals they formed on by sucking out their chakra, which restricts their movements. The spores can also use this stolen chakra to replenish an ally's chakra supply by attaching themselves to him or her. Tobi had Zetsu attach several of these spores to Sasuke Uchiha in order to monitor, and even assist him when necessary.[23] In addition, White Zetsu is able to create and remotely communicate with near-identical copies of himself, which can be used as a special substitute by taking on the appearance and unique chakra of anyone White Zetsu touches. The clones are much weaker than the original and are therefore mainly used as decoys.
Black Zetsu has demonstrated the ability to "record" the things he sees, as he has stated that he recorded the battles between Sasuke and Itachi,[17] and between Kisame and Killer B.[24] He is also capable of showing these "recordings" through unknown means. Black Zetsu is also a very powerful sensor, as he was able to sense Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B as soon as they touched the ground upon leaving the Island Turtle, which was some distance away.[25] As a manifestation of Madara's will, Black Zetsu is able to telepathically communicate with Madara. Upon being bisected and immobilised, Black Zetsu separated from the white portion of his body by seeping the black matter in his lower half into the ground and subsequently forming it into a new upper body. This new body was then able to meld with and control a weakened Obito's body, forcing him to perform the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, as well as keeping him alive while melded, as otherwise Obito would have died as a result of using the technique.[26][27]
Nature Transformation
Because of his origin, Zetsu's genetic material is nearly identical to that of Hashirama Senju's, as seen from Shizune and Sakura Haruno's autopsy of one of the White Zetsu clones.[28] Because of this, Zetsu is capable of using Hashirama's Wood Release, albeit on a much weaker scale.[28] This has been most prominently demonstrated through Black Zetsu, who has been depicted transforming parts of his body into roots for offensive purposes during battle.[29]
Part I
Sasuke Retrieval Arc
After Sasuke and Naruto's fight at the Valley of the End, Kakashi and Pakkun appear to bring Naruto back home. As the three begin the journey back home to Konoha, Zetsu appears from the ground, having witnessed the whole battle. Later his silhouette appeared with the rest of the Akatsuki members where they discussed Orochimaru taking Sasuke Uchiha, the capturing of the Nine-Tails and the furthering of their plans.
Part II
Zetsu appears frequently throughout the series. In addition to serving his various Akatsuki duties, he watches battles of interest and then reports the outcome to the other members and eats the bodies of dead associates.
Kazekage Rescue Arc
During the extraction of the One-Tailed Shukaku, Zetsu is seen also spying on Team Guy and Team Kakashi and alerting Akatsuki. Later, he is sent to dispose the corpses of Mukade and Yura, finding Mukade a delicious meal.
After Sasori and Deidara were defeated, Zetsu and Tobi were sent to retrieve their rings, and dispose of their corpses. However, he was unable to eat Sasori due to him being a puppet, but was amazed to finally see what Sasori looked like. Tobi found Sasori's ring, wishing to take his place. Black Zetsu thought this was a bad idea, but White Zetsu thought otherwise, noting that Tobi was a good person. They later found Deidara's severed right arm and believe him dead until he arrived and proved them wrong. This caused Black Zetsu to wonder why Deidara hadn't captured Naruto Uzumaki, to which Deidara replied that he had already fulfilled his quota either way.
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
After Hidan and Kakuzu defeated Yugito Nii, Zetsu appeared to retrieve Yugito to start the extraction. When Hidan claimed that Akatsuki was just after money like Kakuzu, Zetsu told him that when he's sad and alone, all you can count on is yourself. Zetsu is later seen sealing the Two-Tails.
Itachi Pursuit Arc
Zetsu was seen to reveal himself right after Pain's fight with Jiraiya. During the fight between Sasuke and Itachi, Zetsu watched and recorded the entire battle. When Itachi died Zetsu noted that there was something different in Itachi's fighting style during the battle. He later appeared to inform Tobi of the result of the fight and was called "aloe vera" by Naruto. White Zetsu took some offence to the name while Black Zetsu told him to ignore him. He then led Tobi to where Itachi and Sasuke were.
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
Main article: Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc In the anime, Zetsu was present alongside the other Akatsuki members when they extracted the Six-Tails from Utakata.
Invasion of Pain Arc
After the battle between the Uchiha brothers, Tobi met with Zetsu on a bridge where they discussed the fact that Itachi — who had been hampering their plans — was dead and Zetsu enquired what Tobi's next move would be.
Five Kage Summit Arc
After Itachi's defeat and Sasuke's recruitment, Zetsu took a more active role in Tobi's ongoing plans as now there were only three Akatsuki members left, marvelling at the effort that went into getting Sasuke to work with Akatsuki. He was later revealed to have watched the entire fight between Pain and Naruto Uzumaki, and appeared next to Tobi as he argued with Sasuke about what his next objective was. There he revealed that Konoha had already been destroyed. When asked by Tobi, he revealed that Danzō had been named the acting Sixth Hokage. He then proceeded to explain the outcome of the battle between Pain and Naruto. When Taka agreed to go to the Kage Summit, Zetsu revealed his ability to split in half, and White Zetsu proceeded to lead Sasuke and his team to the Kage Summit while Black Zetsu remained behind and discussed with Tobi the fact that they might lose control over Sasuke and would therefore lose their last chance to have someone sync with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Tobi declared that he was tired of hiding, and explained that they needed to speed up the "Eye of the Moon Plan".[30]
White Zetsu stayed with Taka in the Land of Iron, observing the meeting of the Five Kage and trying to figure out a way to successfully assassinate Danzō. After identifying Danzō, White Zetsu managed to slip away from Taka unnoticed. At that time, Black Zetsu was in the Land of Iron with Tobi, who instructed him to "begin". White Zetsu then emerged in the conference room, telling the five Kage that Sasuke was somewhere around. After revealing himself, the Fourth Raikage grabbed the white Zetsu's neck, asked him about the whereabouts of Sasuke, and threatened to use force. Zetsu mockingly replied that he would give a hint, which prompted the Raikage, angered, to tighten his grip on Zetsu's neck. With his neck snapped, the White Zetsu collapsed on the floor and was presumed to be dead by everyone in the vicinity.[31]
After Sasuke had been struck by the Fifth Mizukage's Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique, Zetsu's Spore Technique, which had secretly been implanted on everyone in the meeting hall before the Raikage's attack, activated. The spores leached some of the Mizukage's chakra while binding the samurai guards, Mifune, Ōnoki and everyone else. Black Zetsu commented on how foolish the five Kage were, as they had failed to detect his technique. One of the spores then jumped onto Sasuke and gave him the absorbed chakra, allowing him to use an arm of Susanoo to escape from the Mizukage. The spores were later successfully neutralised by everyone present at the time of their release.
After Naruto and Sasuke clash, the aftermath of which sends Sasuke hurtling towards a wall, a clone of White Zetsu appears and wraps himself around Sasuke to cushion the blow. Revealing that Tobi had told him to keep an eye on Sasuke,[32] the clone contacts the real White Zetsu, who alerts Tobi. Upon Tobi's arrival, the White Zetsu clone, prepared to fight and capture Naruto, created several more copies of himself. Before he could engage in combat however, Tobi tells him not to as he wasn't a 'front line' fighter, and instead gives him the task of checking up on Kisame and rejoining with Black Zetsu.[33]
White Zetsu and Black Zetsu meet up at the site of Killer B and Kisame's battle only to reveal that Kisame's decapitated body was actually one of White Zetsu's shape-shifting clones. It is then revealed that Kisame, by having the clone fake his death, was then able to infiltrate Kumogakure while inside Samehada which was being carried back to Kumogakure by Killer B who intended to use it as his own weapon. Black Zetsu then stated that it was their feeding time and that they should merge once again.[34]
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc
Upon Tobi's return to the base, Zetsu, now with his halves rejoined, informed him that the scroll with information from Kisame Hoshigaki sent through his messenger shark had arrived. He also noted that everything seemed to be going in their favour. Kabuto mentioned that he could make Zetsu stronger and that he was the key to fighting the shinobi forces.
Tobi promised to give him "one Zetsu" if Kabuto captured the Nine-Tails. Later, Tobi revealed his army comprised of one hundred thousand clones of White Zetsu to Kabuto, which he would use to fight the numbers of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Shinobi World War Arc
Supervising Sasuke's recovery, Zetsu told him to be patient when asked if his bandages could be removed, remarking that when he did regain his sight it would be to a different world. As the Fourth Shinobi World War commenced, Black Zetsu departed to enact Tobi's plan to capture the daimyō and hold them hostage to force the opposition to bring Naruto and Killer B to them. White Zetsu, on the other hand, was left behind to make sure Kabuto could not abduct Sasuke during the confusion of war. Later, after Kabuto demonstrated the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground near Tobi. When asked if White Zetsu's spores had been placed on Kabuto's body, Black Zetsu confirmed, before being instructed to carry out his assigned tasks.
Emerging from the ground near the daimyō's hideout, Black Zetsu infiltrated the structure, despite alerting the enemy to his presence. However, upon discovering the daimyō's absence, Black Zetsu retreated and declared that they shouldn't underestimate his capabilities, as he was a part of the very land itself. Later locating his desired targets, he was instead obstructed by Mei Terumī and her squad, but sensing the Eight and Nine-Tails' chakra while confronting the team, he immediately communicated this to Tobi via White Zetsu. Told that the daimyō were no longer necessary with their quarry now in the open, Black Zetsu was ordered to continue with his guerilla tactics against the Mizukage's team to keep them from regrouping with the rest of their forces. The fight continued throughout the night.
On the second day of the war, White Zetsu was used as a test subject for Sasuke's new eyes and impaled by a blade formed from the black flames of Amaterasu, which was wielded by the youth's Susanoo, and was subsequently incinerated.[35]
Continuing to battle with Mei and her squad, Black Zetsu observed the arrival of Naruto's shadow clone to their location, who then proceeded to crash into a tree beside him. Growing roots from portions of his body whilst fighting, he used them to trip Naruto and avoid his Rasenshuriken, only to be bisected from behind by the enlarged blade of Chōjūrō's Hiramekarei. Immobilised, Black Zetsu wondered how the sword grew to such a size in an instant and was then sliced in half and pinned to the ground by Chōjūrō's blade as the Mizukage departed. Having been reincarnated, Madara telepathically communicates with Black Zetsu, ordering him to keep watch on Obito until after his "playing" with the Five Kage is done. Subsequently, Black Zetsu seeps into the ground, escaping.[36]
Return of Madara Arc
With Obito weakened after the tailed beasts were extracted from him, Madara enacted his trump card. With this, Black Zetsu suddenly emerged from underground and restrained him. As he began to meld with half of Obito's body, Madara was able to force Obito into using the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique. Apologising as this all unfolded, Black Zetsu noted that from the start, this was his sole purpose for existing. With Madara's revival a success, Black Zetsu attempts to retrieve Madara's Rinnegan eye from Obito until Minato and Kakashi intervene. Black Zetsu once more melds with Obito's body, using the Uchiha's body to battle his former team and noting that his merger was the only thing keeping Obito live.[37] While both sides were at a stalemate, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path emerged from Obito's artificial body, quickly being teleported. Afterwards, Black Zetsu again attempted to take the left Rinnegan. Obito, managing to resist Black Zetsu's control of his hand, told Kakashi to destroy the Rinnegan. Black Zetsu, realising what the summoning of the Demonic Statue meant, informed his enemies that Madara has regained his right Rinnegan.
Creation and Conception
In Naruto Hiden: Sha no Sho Character Official Data Book, Kishimoto revealed that he had originally planned for Akatsuki to be a group of monsters, "with almost no human characteristics", and that Zetsu's design was modelled after an insectivorous plant. He also stated that he had decided to make Zetsu half black and half white to "better show his split personality".
- According to the databook(s):
- Zetsu's hobby is observing unique shinobi.
- Zetsu wishes to fight people who are likely to leave behind a corpse that will make a good meal.
- Zetsu's favourite food is "chewy" people, while his least favourites are konnyaku and jelly.
- Zetsu's favourite phrase is "Independence unbending" (独立不撓, Dokuritsu Futō), which roughly means "The only one you can count on is yourself".
- Wherever Tobi is, Zetsu is never far behind.
- Tobi made a deal with Kabuto, in that he would give him "one Zetsu", provided he were to capture the Nine-Tails.[38]
- Zetsu and the White Zetsu Army clones are not dissimilar to the legends told of the mandrake plant used to create artificial men.
- Zetsu is the only member of Akatsuki that has yet to make a playable appearance in any video game.
- (To Tobi about joining Akatsuki) Black Zetsu: "Idiot, it's not that simple." White Zetsu: "It'll be all right, after all, Tobi is a good boy."[9]
- (To Hidan) White Zetsu: "Sorrow begets solitude…" Black Zetsu: "…The only thing you can have faith in is yourself."[39]
- Black Zetsu: "An expert with a pebble can still beat a novice with a shuriken."[40]
- Black Zetsu: "I can't believe no one noticed my Spore Technique… The Five Kage are a bunch of fools!"[41]
- Black Zetsu: "They underestimate my powers… I am the land itself!"[42]
- (To Obito) Black Zetsu: "No hard feelings, Obito… This has always been my one and only purpose…"[43]
- (To Minato and Kakashi) Black Zetsu: "I'm Madara's will. I'll eliminate whoever stands in his way."[44]

North African teams, still smarting from an all sub-Saharan final in the CAF Nations Cup tournament a while back, are having more food for thought after a badly organized return leg between Simba SC and ES Setif failed to dislodge Simba from the commanding lead they had built in Dar es Salaam.
Uncertain if a cold environment would be enough to put Simba sufficiently on the defensive for them to crawl back into the contention they organized a muscled reception, and a well orchestrated officiating of the game. Simba lost a defender in the early minutes of the game and had it tough to perform to their real worth.
The match was officiated by a Moroccan referee, an indulgence it seems that the continental federation is permitting stakeholders to entertain – more or less looking the other way if some shady deals for personal gratification take place.
It is said that in the home encounter for Simba the referee came from neighbouring Rwanda, and not surprisingly seeming a pal of club chairman Aden Rage, a Tabora-based businessman who should know 'who is who' in soccer in the neighbouring country.
So there is little point in blaming either CAF or Setif, as CAF allows indulgences, and Setif just did it a bit more resolutely.
Nonetheless the scrappy win at the end of the two ties is a relief for Simba because, outside dangers of being overconfident in the next stage of the tournament, they may have a more relaxed moment facing either the Mozambican railways side Ferroviaro or El Ahly Shandy of the Sudan.
Both these clubs are more or less equal strength with Simba, while ES Setif would appear a shade stronger owing to the more intense North African track record, and Simba more than demonstrated it can hold them. In that sense, on the basis of the route taken to arrive in the last 16 Simba would be better placed than Ferroviaro, etc.
Obviously this outcome constitutes a relief to the soccer fraternity in the country, which had of late started to pose questions as to what is wrong with the sport – and hastily picking on national coach Jan Poulsen.
Were Simba to make it to the quarter finals or beyond, not to speak of the big prize, everyone would agree that there is nothing especially wrong with the sport, since we can stand on our own at club level with some of the best.
And had it not been for uzawa madness, we could have clinched the CECAFA regional tourney at nations level with Poulsen, as he applied correct tactics to win it the previous year.

This 33 second movie clip shows an X-1E and B-29 taxi and takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base.
The first of the rocket-powered research aircraft, the X-1 (originally designated the XS-1), was a bullet-shaped airplane that was built by the Bell Aircraft Company for the US Air Force and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The mission of the X-1 was to investigate the transonic speed range (speeds from just below to just above the speed of sound) and, if possible, to break the "sound barrier".
The first of the three X-1s was glide-tested at Pinecastle Field, FL, in early 1946. The first powered flight of the X-1 was made on Dec. 9, 1946, at Muroc Army Air Field (later redesignated Edwards Air Force Base) with Chalmers Goodlin, a Bell test pilot,at the controls.
On Oct. 14, 1947, with USAF Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager as pilot, the aircraft flew faster than the speed of sound for the first time. Captain Yeager ignited the four-chambered XLR-11 rocket engines after being air-launched from under the bomb bay of a B-29 at 21,000 ft. The 6,000-lb thrust ethyl alcohol/liquid oxygen burning rockets, built by Reaction Motors, Inc., pushed him up to a speed of 700 mph in level flight.
Captain Yeager was also the pilot when the X-1 reached its maximum speed of 957 mph. Another USAF pilot. Lt. Col. Frank Everest, Jr., was credited with taking the X-1 to its maximum altitude of 71,902 ft. Eighteen pilots in all flew the X-1s. The number three plane was destroyed in a fire before evermaking any powered flights.
A single-place monoplane, the X-1 was 31 ft long, 10 ft high, and had a wingspan of 29 ft. It weighed 4,900 lb and carried 8,200 lb of fuel. It had a flush cockpit with a side entrance and no ejection seat.
This roughly 30-second video clip shows the X-1E landing on Rogers Dry Lakebed followed by the safety chase aircraft.

- JJ Clark: architect of the Australian Renaissance
- Author(s)
- Dodd, Andrew
- Abstract
- Colonial architect John James Clark was fourteen when he began practising as an architect. By the age of nineteen he had designed the Melbourne Treasury, Australia's finest Renaissance Revival building, which celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2012. Over six decades, he designed some of the most beautiful buildings in Australia and New Zealand Melbourne's Government House, City Baths and Royal Mint as well as the Treasury Building in Brisbane and the Auckland Town Hall. While he is little-known today, when he died in 1915 he was described as Australia's greatest architect. This fascinating biography reveals the inspiration and drama of Clark's controversial career, and contains original plans, elevations and previously unpublished sketches.

- "High taxes, socialism, constant darkness... Sweden really is proof that, if you fill a country full of hot women, people will put up with a wretched landscape. By pussying out of armed conflicts for the past 200 years and focusing instead on investment in education, healthcare and manufacturing, the Swedes now enjoy one of the highest standards of living the world. The result is a nation that's terrible at democracy but excellent at making ridiculously fast sportscars."
- ―Legendary Motorsport webpage
The Overflod Entity XF is a 2-door hypercar in Grand Theft Auto V.
The car's design appears to be heavily influenced by the Swedish styling of the Koenigsegg CC8S. The logo on the bonnet/hood is similar to that of the Maserati with white and blue details and has the size and shape of the Koenigsegg's. The taillamps are nearly identical to those of the Koenigsegg Agera's, the inside of the taillamps are also identical to those of the Lamborghini Aventador's.
The Entity XF's front end features fairly simple styling. The front bumper is elevated for the regions either side of the central area. The bumper features a small CFRP splitter at its base. The bumper features three front ducts inset in the bumper, the central duct spanning two-thirds of the car's width. Like its inspiration, the car features large ducts on the sides of the front bumper. The headlight units have edges parallel to a number of the car's body lines and feature four clear, circular lamps. The car's bonnet/hood features two levels of impression, the first creating a central area that runs from the base of the windscreen to the bottom of the front bumper. The second level of impression is contoured to the base of the windscreen and the side boundaries of the central region.
The sides of the XF are very bold in terms of styling. The wheelbase features a CFRP lip at its base. The sides of the car are dominated by the presence of a wedge-shaped impression that allows airflow to the main engine air ducts. Behind the impression, the body features a CF body accent. The body then curves until a flat, horizontal section of the body is reached, upon which aerodynamic wing mirrors are mounted at the front of the doors. The main section of the car's greenhouse is unique; it features a bold C-shaped arrangement for its windscreen, side windows and roof. Behind the C-shaped section's seats are two large bulges that sit in an impressed area of the rear. The car features five spoke wheels wrapped in low-profile tyres.
The car is able to reach a very high top speed of 240 mph, enabling it to battle with the Vacca, Cheetah and Adder. It is capable of burning excess fuel from its exhaust, similar to cars like Infernus, Buffalo, F620, Sultan RS and Banshee. It's acceleration is better than that of the Adder. It also has very high traction.

In a quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history. This new six-part series recounts World War II from a unique new perspective, uncovering the engineering secrets of iconic megastructures, telling the stories of the engineers who designed them and revealing how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever.
Part I - Atlantic Wall - July 17, 2013
To protect occupied Europe from an Allied invasion, Hitler demanded the construction of a defensive wall stretching thousands of kilometers from France in the south to Norway in the north. This is the story of how this vast engineering project sucked in huge quantities of raw materials and men from all over the Third Reich … and faced its ultimate test on D-Day.
Part II- U-Boat Pens - July 24, 2013
To create a haven in port for their lethal U-boat submarines, the Nazis built massive, impenetrable concrete submarine pens. Structures too immense to be hidden, they were constructed to withstand direct hits from even the biggest Allied bombs. Such was their size and strength that these pens survive today, a testament to their engineering.
Part III - V2 Rocket and Dome - July 31, 2013
The first ever long-range rockets were designed and built by the Nazis in a network of top-secret research labs, underground silos and hi-tech launch pads. This is the story of how scientist Werner von Braun heralded the birth of ballistic missiles and laid the technological foundations for the space race.
