Pap tests and checkups
What's a Pap test and why is it so important?
A Pap test, also called a Pap smear, is a simple test that can help your doctor check the cells on your cervix (the lower part of your uterus) to detect abnormal cervical cells before they have a chance to develop into cervical cancer. This helps catch cervical cancer while it's still early and easy to treat.
How is a Pap test done?
A Pap test is usually done during a pelvic exam, when your doctor checks to make sure the parts of your reproductive system (such as the vagina, uterus, and ovaries) are healthy and also screens for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Pap test procedure
Although it may sound a little scary, it's really not that bad at all. During the Pap test, your doctor will insert a device (called a speculum) to hold your vagina open just enough for him or her to insert a small stick-like instrument. Some cells are scraped off your cervix (which you'll barely feel) and are then smeared on to a slide. This slide is sent off to a lab for examination.
The test doesn't take very long, typically only a couple of minutes, and it shouldn't hurt, although you could feel some pressure while the cells are being removed. You may also experience a bit of light bleeding after the test. If you're feeling uncomfortable about having a Pap test, ask a friend or family member to come with you to the doctor.
When should I have my first Pap test?
In Canada, it is recommended for most women to begin Pap test at age 25, and usually at regular intervals every 3 years thereafter until the age of 70. If symptoms of cervical cancer are present, if the previous screening results are abnormal, or if you are immunosuppressed, the recommendations do not apply. However, each province has slightly different guidelines for start time and frequency of Pap tests, so it is important to check with your doctor.
Women who have been vaccinated against some types of HPV still must have regular Pap tests, since the vaccine doesn't prevent all types of HPV infection. The Pap test is the only way to know if you have abnormal cells.
Don't put off your Pap tests. According to recent statistics, up to 50% of women with cervical cancer didn't get their Pap tests as recommended. Cervical cancer can be treated much more successfully if caught early. A Pap test can do just that.
If the doctor says the results of your Pap test are abnormal, it doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer. Every year, about 4 to 5 million Pap tests are done in Canada and about 350,000 of them show abnormal results. The Pap test detects changes in the cervical cells. An abnormal Pap test may mean changes in the cells of the cervix for a variety of reasons, including vaginal infection, other STIs, or hormonal changes. Sometimes, an abnormal result may just mean the sample taken from your cervix was not adequate.
Depending on the type of abnormal result, your doctor may repeat the Pap test, treat any infection, or perform further tests. Some physicians may choose to take a "wait and see" approach along with more frequent Pap tests for mild cases of cervical dysplasia, as these cases may go away on their own. It can be scary to be told you have an abnormal Pap result - remember that most women with an abnormal Pap result do not have cancer.
Talk to your doctor about when you should have a Pap test, and about other ways to protect yourself from HPV infection.

World number one Rory McIlroy was named the European Tour golfer of the year on Tuesday.
McIlroy succeeds Luke Donald as winner of the coveted award, having also replicated the Englishman's previously unprecedented achievement of winning both the Race to Dubai and US PGA Tour money list in the same season.
The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland captured his second major title in August, winning the US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record eight shots, matching the winning margin of his maiden major triumph in the 2011 US Open.
McIlroy also won three times in America before playing a vital role in Europe's stunning Ryder Cup victory at Medinah, while he ended the year in style with five closing birdies to win the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. "Everyone who knows me knows how special the 2012 season was," McIlroy said. "A couple of wins, including a major, and consistent performances in big events all helped me win The Race to Dubai for the first time.
"To win that was a massive highlight of an amazing season and I hope it will be the first of many. Now, to have been named as The European Tour Golfer of the Year puts the icing on the cake. "It is a very special honour indeed and you only need to look down the list of players who have preceded me as the winner of this award to see precisely why; quite simply, it is a Who's Who of golf and I'm delighted to now be a part of that in the history books.
"We play golf because we relish the opportunity to win major championships and world-class tournaments around the globe. But when we do that, to be recognised for these achievements is a great thrill and I thank all the members of the panel who voted for me."
McIlroy the European golfer of 2012

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Several labor unions say more than $400,000 in contributions by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. since 2010 helped bring about the creation of an unusual taxpayer-paid subsidy last month to help employers offset a higher minimum wage in New York.
Senate Republicans, who had long opposed an increase in the minimum wage along with some business groups, called the unions' claim "complete and utter nonsense." Republicans senators never had any conversation with Wal-Mart on the issue, spokesman Scott Reif said.
In March, the Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo increased the minimum wage to $9 an hour over the next three years, up from the current minimum wage of $7.25. The law also included tax credits for employers who hire seasonal employees ages 16 to 19 who are still in school. That subsidy is estimated at $20 million to $40 million a year with no cap on the payments.
The provision is expected to provide millions of dollars to big-box stores like Wal-Mart.
Lawmakers never announced the subsidy, but it was discovered in the bill after months of closed-door negotiations. The allegations come as the unions seek public financing of campaigns.
"This provision was part of a budget compromise that will keep young workers from losing their jobs," said Reif. "In fact, we are surprised that these unions would oppose this provision given the high unemployment rate among young New Yorkers, especially minorities."
There was no memo or other link between the Wal-Mart donations and the minimum wage provision, and Wal-Mart also said it didn't pursue the provision.
"Wal-Mart plays an active role in the political process, serving as an advocate on issues that are important to our customers," said Wal-Mart spokesman Kory Lundgerg. "We support candidates on both sides of the aisle, but that doesn't necessarily mean we agree on every issue.
"Contrary to what you are hearing, Wal-Mart did not play an active role, either in support or against this legislation," he said. "Our goal, everywhere we operate is to provide our associates a competitive wage, affordable benefits and an opportunity to build a career."
Wal-Mart has contributed more than $105,000 to Republican senators and Assembly members over the past two years as Democratic support for the issue grew, state election records show. In addition, Wal-Mart provided $400,000 since January 2011, most of it in 2012, to a state Republican Senate account that can be used for several purposes.
Unions are also among New York's biggest contributors of campaign donations. For example, the RWDSU and its locals contributed $92,000 since 2010 to local and state candidates, mostly Democrats. The UFCWI union and its locals contributed $288,000 during the period.
Republicans had long opposed the minimum wage increase pushed by Cuomo, the Assembly's Democratic majority, and a group of Democratic senators who caucus separately from the party and share control of the Senate with Republicans. Republicans said raising the minimum wage would dampen a sluggish economic recovery and cost jobs.
Several unions that are pushing for public financing of campaigns call the contributions "legal bribery."
"Donate enough money to the Senate GOP as an investment that will end up making their corporation an enormous amount of money, all on the backs of hard-working, taxpaying Americans," said Patrick Purcell of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents workers in grocery and retail stores, and in food-processing and meat packing companies.
The group is one of several seeking public financing of campaigns now being considered in Albany and opposed by Senate Republicans. Other powerful unions in Democratic politics are part of the effort including the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.

Crossing the Kalandia checkpoint to pray at Al-Aqsa on the last Friday of Ramadan

Last Friday of Ramadan at Al-Aqsa brought in about
worshipers, but for the Palestinian-Muslims crossing over from the Kalandia checkpoint, it was a hassle navigating to the holy site due to heavy traffic and heightened presence of Israeli forces throughout Jerusalem's Old City.
Nabil Tahir, 62, from the northern city of Nablus in the West Bank, told Palestine Monitor, "it is my right to be able to come to Al-Aqsa, but I only get a chance during Ramadan, so I makes sure to come every Friday no matter how hard they [Israel] make it for us."
The journey to the mosque took Tahir over two hours, which is a shared reality for many of those who crossed over the Kalandia checkpoint on Friday morning. Crossing the border on foot in the scorching heat, only to be greeted by long lines for the buses headed to Jerusalem, coupled with the constant reminder that any altercation between Israeli forces or the Jewish settlers could mean denial to entry at the mosque are depictions of the restrictions put on religious freedom under the Israeli occupation.
With crowds of Palestinian-Muslims rushing to make it to the scheduled prayer at noon, it is a scene bearing both uncertainty and tension due to the volatile nature of Israeli-Palestinian relations.
According to Basel Lafi, 28, who was in attendance at the Friday prayers, "Israeli soldiers have denied me entry to Al-Aqsa several times before. They would ask me to show them my ID before entering, and they would decide whether to let me in or deny me on random basis." He continued, "sometimes they would hold on to my ID to make sure I would leave the mosque right after the prayer."
After an
that resulted in the death of three Palestinians and an Israeli policewoman by Damascus Gate on June 17th, Palestinian media reported that most of –if not all- permits given for the month of Ramadan to Palestinians in the West Bank were revoked, although women of all ages, men above 40, and children under 12 were still allowed to cross over to Israeli territory
This has been a contributing reason to the increased deployment of Israeli forces in the Old City, which can be spotted at every corner,
making sure to block entrances to the mosque for non-Muslims and subjecting Palestinians to body searches over any suspicious activity.
After the afternoon prayer, the children gather to play in the Al-Aqsa compound as families and friends greet each other with warm embraces and share their plans for the upcoming Eid festivities. Vendors in the Muslim quarter return to their routine, while tourists maneuver their way through the maze that is the Old City.
Luba al-Samri
, Israeli police spokesperson, said the Friday prayers ended "with peace and safety," although the same could not be concluded regarding this past week, during which Israeli forces used
rubber bullets and tear-gas
against worshipers, when they protested against the presence of Israeli settlers in the compound.
After the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel has maintained control of Al-Aqsa in cooperation with the Islamic trust that is in charge of the mosque. Non-Muslims are not allowed to pray at the compound, and are restricted from entry during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
Despite the risks, "spending Ramadan and Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa is us claiming our right to pray and live [in Jerusalem]. This our connection to Islam, it is our identity," said Lafi.

On the Day of Archaeology2015 I shall be designing a new project. Quite unexpectedly, Siena University in a partnership with The American University of Rome has been awarded a prestigious ERC Advanced grant by the European Union (under the Horizon 2020 scheme). Giovanna Bianchi (who lectures at Siena University) and I thought up the concept and gave it a very academic title:
'The creation of economic and monetary union (7th to 12th centuries): mining, landscapes and political strategies in a Mediterranean region'.
This mouth-full is not exactly what comes to mind when you think of the Maremma, with its glorious miniature Sienas at Massa Marittima and Campiglia Marittima. Our ponderous title, though, is rich with romantic promise. The Tuscan coastal strip runs from the Etruscan promontory sanctuary and port at Populonia past Piombino, the industrial gateway to the island of Elba, and as far as Grosseto.
The motive for the project lies in the hills that discretely rise up from the coastal plain and disappear under a thick covering of chestnuts and firs. These are the Colline Metallifere. The Etruscans first procured copper and iron here, transporting it down to Populonia to ship to the Celts and the Greeks. The Romans seemingly acquired better mines and let the hills be. But a Lombard family with strong Frankish connections, the Aldobrandeschi – whose scions still live in these parts – returned to the Etruscan adits. On and off a thousand years of metal prospecting followed. In recent decades mining has given way to acquiring sulphur and gas, providing continued employment for the tight villages connected by snaking woodland lanes. Here, believe it not, are the riches that helped to shape Tuscany, becoming as it did by the 12th century the cornerstone of medieval Europe.
Our project is explicitly a scientific one. Our objective is to understand how this region that was reduced to prehistoric circumstances in the later 6th century (after the Gothic wars), by steps was transformed to boast splendid townscapes like Massa Marittima by the later 12th century. After decades of research by my old friend, Riccardo Francovich, and his energetic pupil, Giovanna Bianchi, the Siena University hypothesis is that mining in the hills started in the later 9th century at lost villages like Cugnano. The ore was then passed down a river corridor to a lost port on the coast at Carlappiano. Close by is the earliest castle excavated in Italy at Ventricella.
So, working with many collaborators, we aim not only to excavate at these three points in the procurement chain, but also to use a battery of new techniques to analyze the mining and the coins minted from the local silver, while new research takes place on the plentiful 8th-to 10th century charters here.
With this squad of scientists there is a wealth of material to add a vital new chapter in Mediterranean history. Added to this, there is the prospect to make the Maremma the centerpiece of a new medieval story, part of Charlemagne's legacy and the stage upon which the Renaissance was constructed.

18 September 2014 ( Mikhail Shishkin theguardian) The formula for saving any dictatorship is universal: create an enemy, start a war. We are back in Soviet times of total lies. I remember that as a child I read about black holes in a popular science magazine about space and it scared me. The idea of our world being sucked into these breaks in the universe kept bothering me until I realised that it all was so far away that it would not reach us. But then a black hole tore our world very close to us. It started sucking in houses, roads, cars, planes, people and whole countries. Russia and Ukrainehave already fallen into this black hole. And it is now sucking in Europe in front of our eyes. This hole in the universe is the soul of one very lonely ageing man. The black hole is his fear. TV images of the demise of Saddam Hussein, Hosni Mubarak and Muammar Gaddafi were messages that fate sent him from exotic countries. Protest rallies that gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Moscow ruined his inauguration and signalled approaching danger. The disgraceful flight of Ukraine's Viktor Yanukovych earlier this year set off alarm bells: if Ukrainians could oust their gang, it could serve as an example for the brotherly nation. The instinct of self-preservation kicked in immediately. The formula for saving any dictatorship is universal: create an enemy, start a war. The state of war is the regime's elixir of life. A nation in patriotic ecstasy becomes one with its "national leader", while any dissenters can be declared "national traitors".

|Despite decades of studies the etiology of alcoholism remains elusive. Recent work strongly supports genetic models, estimating the genetic contributions to risk at 32% - 73%. Further, studies have implicated inhibition as a key factor in alcoholism it is known to be comorbid with a number of disinhibitory disorders, including Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Tourette s Syndrome, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. However, work by Cloninger and colleagues suggests that two distinct forms of alcoholism exist, and that these forms have correspondingly distinct biological components.; To examine this relationship in more detail, this study employed a behavioral control model first proposed by Jeffrey Gray, differentiating activation (the preparation of a response) from inhibition (the cessation of a potential response prior to overt action). Pre-adolescent twins were examined in the context of this model utilizing the P300 Event-Related Potential (ERP). P300 ERPs elicited during both NoGo and Oddball tasks were first examined for their relationship to behavioral control, as measured by impulsive response (NoGo errors). These P300s were thenexamined within twins at risk for both types of alcoholism, as defined by paternal alcohol abuse and paternal antisocial behavior. Finally, genetic analyses were performed on the P300 ERPs using the entire twin sample, in order to understand the etiology of inhibition and activation themselves.; Results showed different patterns of relationships between the NoGo and Oddball P300 ERPs with impulsive responses (NoGo errors), suggesting that NoGo P300 ERPs most likely index the inhibitory pathway of the behavioral control system, while Oddball P300 ERPs most likely index the activation pathway. Twins at risk for either type of alcoholism differed from controls in both NoGo and target Oddball P300 ERPs, but did not differ in novel P300 ERP amplitude. Conversely,Type I and Type II risk groups differed in novel Oddball P300 ERP amplitudes, but not NoGo or target Oddball P300 ERP amplitudes. This suggests that inhibitory differences underlie the risk for both types of alcoholism, but that activation differences underlie only Type II risk. Genetic analyses revealed that a two factor common pathway multivariate model best described the measured P300s, with one factor loading primarily onto novel Oddball P300s, and the other loading primarily onto NoGo P300s. It is concluded that these factors likely represent some form of activation and inhibition, further supporting the notion that inhibition differences are a common factor underlying all alcohol abuse risk, while genetically distinct activation differences underlie Type II but not Type I alcohol abuse risk.

- Catherine I. Mortensen 14:43, 26 March 2013 (EDT):There's always a chance that bacteria can mutate and become resistant to antibiotics such as amoxicillin. What if viruses were used to reverse bacterial resistance to certain antibiotics in combination with antibiotics... so phage therapy and antibiotics used together. This would really kill a disease. Here's an article about reversing bacterial resistance to antibiotics [1]
- Kevin Baldridge 11:25, 28 March 2013 (EDT):Cool idea, I like their application idea for using it as a surface disinfectant in high-risk areas for antibiotic resistance, i.e. hospitals. However, I wonder how long it will be effective before bacteria adapt a response to the phage? They adapted to antibiotics, and we know they have an innate "immune system" CRISPR paper in Science 2007 which helps them adapt to viral assault.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 23:21, 28 March 2013 (EDT):Like the paper. It seems like it would be hard to get any system for adding a gene to existing organisms so effective that it would make 100% of them susceptible to an antibiotic.
- Neil R Gottel 15:39, 31 March 2013 (EDT):Agreed. The use of phage therapy would be to increase the number of research avenues to pursue when guarding against bacterial infection. The real silver bullet would be hospitals that entirely closed systems. Or nanites.
- Jeffrey E. Barrick 23:21, 28 March 2013 (EDT):Neil, you make it sound like it's easy to find or create a phage capable of killing any bacterium. Where do I find the phage that I use to tailor my microbiota? Are there any groups of bacteria that just don't get infected by phage?
- Neil R Gottel 15:35, 31 March 2013 (EDT):Joke answer: contact The Phage Hunters! A more serious approach would be to first determine what your microbiota looks like using 16S rRNA next-gen sequencing, followed by isolation and screening of individual strains. Once you've found some strains you want to target (maybe you've got some species that has been associated with a higher risk of colon cancer), then we'd start screening lawns of those targeted bacteria against an array of 1 μm filtered environmental samples. I'd start by using filtrates from soil and sewage treatment plants. Maybe even other people! Once we start seeing plaque formation, the phage can be isolated for further study. Ideally we'd have several related strains of phage, which we could gene shuffle, mutate, or rationally design, in order to prepare a phage cocktail with a variety of slightly dissimilar phage (the goal of using a variety of slightly different phage is to take out different variants of the targeted bacterial strain, and reduce the risk of survivors remaining). The phage cocktail is administered, and your microbial community is monitored for any changes.
- Neil R Gottel 15:35, 31 March 2013 (EDT):For your second question: a brief search fails to turn up anything. However, I suspect certain environments would make it impossible for phage to survive for long periods of time outside a host, such as radioactive environments. Since phage can't repair their genomes as they're floating around looking for a host, we can imagine a combination of high radiation and low bacterial density that makes it impossible for an infection to propagate. Therefore, we should take a field trip to Chernobyl and do some metagenomic sampling.
- Gabriel Wu 15:11, 1 April 2013 (EDT): SAR11 is a highly abundant bacteria found in the ocean, but not culturable in lab environments. One speculation was that its success was due to a particularly robust defense against virus infection. This hypothesis was countered by this recent paper.
- Thomas Wall 23:46, 28 March 2013 (EDT): So this wasn't the article I was looking for, I remember reading one on clostridium difficile (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/10/04/1206136109). But, this sort of thing led me to wondering if we could engineer probiotic mixtures to make phage against all kinds of things we don't want in our guts.
- Neil R Gottel 15:35, 31 March 2013 (EDT):Found a 2012 paper that describes a naturally occurring example of the "Ecolicence to Kill" iGEM project (without the weird conjugation part of it). It's a gut bacterium that uses prophage to kill other competing strains.

Terry Gilliam has revealed that he threw a diva strop while filming Monty Python And The Holy Grail.
In an Ask Me Anything online chat with fans on Reddit, the Python said that one of his favourite memories of filming with the rest of the comedy group was losing his cool over a stunt.
He said: "I have a great memory of shooting Holy Grail and trying to get the others to kneel down in a hole in the ground with a camera while trying to get their heads under the parapet of the camera so we could throw animals over, and they were all b******s and complaining, and I said, 'Well f*** you! You wrote the script and I'm just trying to make it work for you. And if you don't do this it won't.'
"And then I flounced off in one of my b***** moods, and went off and lay in the tall grass and had a lovely day until we had to film the next bits."
But Terry admitted he owed his career in film, which has included directing Brazil and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, to being part of the Monty Python troupe.
He said: "It was probably the most important thing in my life, because I wouldn't be making movies now if I wasn't a part of Python."
One fan asked if he had felt like the odd one out in Monty Python because he was the only American, or because he also worked on the animations, unlike the others.
He replied: "Both reasons. I was a foreigner, doing a very different job than the rest of them. But what it did allow me was more freedom than the others."
On the upcoming live Monty Python shows, he said: "I'm not excited, it's something to do, it'll be fun while we're doing it, and it will be a relief when it's over. Because then I can get back to my own life."

Best Sports Betting System Guaranteed to Win!
In this article, we'll explain 6 popular betting systems that you can experiment with in your online casino gaming experience. Truth be told, these timeless, tried and true betting systems originated in the world of offline betting, but they apply equally as well to online casino gambling, no matter what the game, no matter what the betting structure.
Before You Begin: For most of these systems, you will need to decide what your betting unit will be ahead of time (such as the minimum allowable bet at the game and online casino in question).
1-3-2-6 Betting System
This is what's called a Positive Progression system, meaning that as you win, your bets increase. The foundation of this online casino betting system is the premise that a player can win any game a maximum of 4 times in a row before they'll probably lose.
Here's how the system works:
- Bet 1 unit each betting round until you win a round;
- After you win a round, bet 3 units on the next (second) round;
- If you win a second round in a row, bet 2 units on the next (third) round;
- If you win a third round in a row, bet 6 units on the next (fourth) round;
- Then, no matter what happens (win or lose) return to the beginning of the pattern, betting 1 unit per round until you win one, etc.
The risk-reward scenario with the 1-2-3-6 betting system is simple. You can win as much as 6 times your original bet after 4 rounds of play while only putting 2 units of your own at risk.
The worst case scenario with the 1-2-3-6 betting system is that you lose 6 consecutive times in the second round. No matter, though. You can make it all up by winning 4 times in a row.
The Martingale System
This is a Negative Progression system, meaning that as you lose, your bets increase.
The foundation of this online casino betting system is the premise that a player cannot possibly lose an infinite number of times without ever winning a single round. Therefore, what the Martingale system is designed to help you do is offset all of your accumulated losses with a single win.
Whether you consider it cynical, realistic, or both, this system works best in cases when the online casino game is paying out a 1 to 1 payout ratio on each bet. Here's how it works:
- First, place whatever bet you've decided to start with;
- If you win, bet the same amount again, but if you lose, bet double the amount;
- If you lose again, you double your bet again.
The downside to the Martingale system is that you need a large bankroll to start out with as well as the resolve to keep increasing your bets as your losses compound. Not just anyone can pull this online casino betting system off.
In the rarest of cases, you may, after enough losses, reach the online casino's betting maximum and then not be able to raise your bet further or offset your losses with one win.
The D'Alenbert System
This is another Negative Progression system. It's also considered an Insurance System in that, as you win, the size of your bets increase. Here's how it works:
- Each time you lose, you raise your bets by one unit;
- Each time you win, you lower your bets by one unit;
This system also requires a large enough online casino bankroll to pull it off.
By adding the insurance system to the negative progression system, you're hedging your increasing losses by pulling some profits off the table each time you win.
The Labouchere Betting System (a.k.a. The Cancellation System)
This system, another Negative Progression, is somewhat more complicated than those listed so far. Depending on the odds in whatever online casino game you're playing, you'll come up with some sequence of numbers -- of any length you wish -- and not necessarily sequential.
Each number in your sequence is a multiple of your predetermined betting unit (7 therefore is 7 times your betting unit; 5 is 5x, etc.) Here's how it works:
- Your first bet should be the sum of the first and last numbers in your sequence;
- If you win, cross out those two numbers you just added together (the two outermost in your sequence) and bet the sum of the next two;
- If you win again, cross out those two outermost numbers and repeat the process
- If you continue winning until you have no more numbers in the sequence to add together, you simply start from the beginning with the entire, original sequence.
- If you lose, you add to the end of the sequence, the sum that you had just used, thus creating a new sequence;
- Crossing out no numbers at all (because you didn't win yet), add the first number in the sequence to the new last number that number and use that new sum as your multiple;
The supposed benefit of this complicated betting method is that anytime you have to start over with the original sequence, you come out with a profit. The drawback is that you can accumulate enormous losses before you ever win (if you ever win).
Your success at the Labouchere system really depends on selecting the right sequence.
The Paroli System (a.k.a. The Anti-Martingale System)
This is another Positive Progression system. More than simply selecting a unit of betting, with the Paroli system you also need to determine two other criteria before you begin:
1. A cap: The uppermost amount at which you will stop increasing your wager and return to your starting unit;
2. A multiple: How much you'll increase your bet every time you win (1 unit, 2 units, 3 units, etc.)
You should base these factors on the odds of the online casino game you happen to be playing. The appeal of the Paroli System is that you can play at the online casino for a while with a small bankroll. You cut your losses and let your profits ride.
The Parlay System
This is another Positive Progression system. Similar to the Paroli System, the effect of the Parlay system is to "pyramid" your profits, meaning that every time you win you wager both your winnings and the amount of your initial bet as your next bet.
The reward of the Parlay system can be huge. The risk is that you can lose it all in a single bad online casino beat.

Pan-Fried Brats With Parsley Spaetzle and Mustard, Bacon, and Apple Sauce Recipe
Cooking projects for people who'd like nothing more than to spend a sunday afternoon surrounded by the wonderful aromas of the kitchen.
While the inclination to stuff brats into a bun is understandable, treating them like a straight-up sausage has its merits, too. Here, they're pan-fried with bacon, apples, and onions in a mustard sauce and served with parsley-flecked spaetzle—the perfect thing for sopping up the juices.
If you can't find fire-roasted peppers, regular canned ones will work just fine. A little bit of heat is nice here, too, so if you can get your hands on canned, fire-roasted green chilies or jalapeños, consider using them.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 25 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- For the Brats:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided use
- 1 1/2 pounds brats (4 to 6 links)
- 2 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 medium apple, cored and roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup canned fire-roasted green or red peppers, finely chopped
- 4 ounces beer
- 2 ounces homemade or store-bought low sodium chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon grainy mustard
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- For the Spaetzle:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add brats and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate. Add bacon and allow to brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, about 5 minutes.
Add onion and apple and continue to sauté until they begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and peppers, reduce heat to low and cook a minute more before adding beer, stock, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar. Return brats to pan. Bring to a simmer and add mustard, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper and continue to simmer over low heat to allow sauce to thicken.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Mix flour, egg, milk, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl.
Working in batches while using a sturdy spoon, force spaetzle through holes of a spaetzle maker or large-holed colander into the boiling water. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until noodles float to the surface. Drain well into a colander, and quickly shock spaetzle with cold water.
Heat butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming subsides. Add spaetzle, shake once to distribute evenly, and cook without moving until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately with brats.

Here's Who Needs a Chromebook Pixel
The tech pundit jury has apparently reached a solemn, sober verdict on the Chromebook Pixel laptop Google launched Thursday. And the verdict is ... "Oh my God, look at the sticker price!" (Tech pundits faint with shock.)
This rush to judgment, most of it without so much as seeing the device, is a great pity. I've been using the Pixel all day, and it's one of the most gorgeous pieces of hardware I've picked up in a while.
The Pixel is a pleasure to use, with a screen that's just as eye-poppingly beautiful as a Macbook Retina — except you can navigate it by touch like a retina-display iPad. (And if you don't want to touch the screen, the giant glass trackpad on the keyboard is just as awesome.) The i5 chipset is incredibly fast. A great deal of thought went into every aspect of its construction, from the click of the keyboard to the solid car-door clunk of the magnetic latch.
No, it is most definitely not for the casual user, or for media-making professionals who need a proper workstation. Yes, at $1299 for the wi-fi version and $1449 for LTE, it's a pricey device. And yes, it runs Chrome OS and thus largely relies on Internet access.
But not entirely; with QuickOffice built in to the browser, you can access your documents offline. With 64GB of local storage, if there's something you want to get to at all times, you certainly can. And for anything you can store online, you get a free terabyte in the cloud.
Google hammered one phrase home when asked who the Pixel was for: "the power cloud user." Now, that's not a particularly evocative piece of jargon, so let me offer this alternative: If you're a busy executive whose work requires you to be online and on the go, if the biggest hassle in your day is finding a coffeeshop with Wi-Fi or rooting around in your bag for a 3G dongle, you should seriously consider the Pixel.
If you're in that kind of position, you (or your company) can afford to splurge on the LTE version. I would not suggest you consider the Wi-Fi-only version; it would defeat the purpose.
The purpose is to have a device where you can simply forget about ever having to connect to the Internet.
Imagine never having to enter another Wi-Fi password, or ask another barista to restart their router, or choose where you're sitting based on the number of bars in your Wi-Fi signal. If the entire world was your coffeeshop, if you were a fully empowered road warrior, where would you work?
Also, lest we forget, LTE is actually faster than Wi-Fi. It is well on its way to being as widespread as 3G, and will surpass it sooner than you think (satellite companies are building LTE infrastructure now, not just telecoms). No, it isn't there just yet, but when purchasing a computer you ought to consider how the world will change during the lifetime of the device. This is Google's calculation, and it may turn out to be a shrewd one.
Cloud computing is the future; we've known that for years. This is what a high-end cloud computer looks like.
Your lifestyle and budget may not suit the Pixel, and that's fine; Google isn't looking to sell it to you. But you can't espouse the glories of the cloud on the one hand and then run screaming when you see what it produces. Tech pundit jury, I'm looking at you.

text: Top 5 Bridal Looks from Romantic Comedies January 12, 2017 Natasha Blog (0) You might already follow a bunch of wedding related shows and about a million Pinterest boards for your wedding vision. BUT, what would your perfect bridal look really be without a little inspiration from classic rom com movies? Aren't they what had us believing in true love in the first place? Since you finally found that show-up-at-your-doorstep, kisses-you-in-the-pouring-rain kind of love that you see in the movies, you want to achieve a bridal look that gets your groom thinking he married a girl straight out of a fairytale (or rather, a romantic comedy). So take note ladies, these bridal looks are worthy of imitation and they're going to have your hubby-to-be's jaw on the floor. Mamma Mia! - Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) Planning a destination wedding? Or at least a lakeside wedding? Look no further than Sophie's bridal look from Mamma Mia! Let's talk about the dress first: layers of tumbling chiffon encrusted with jewels are absolutely stunning on Sophie and go perfectly with the island setting. Not to mention her long, textured waives are flattering for any hairstyle and the flower crown added to this beautiful bohemian bridal look. Sophie kept it simple with the jewelery -- no necklace, small studded earrings and a bracelet. This bohemian-inspired bracelet from Gottlieb & Sons features black and white diamonds in a leaf silhouette – perfect for your island bride look. Bride Wars - Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) Besides being one of the cutest wedding movies about BFFs, the film also features two of the most gorgeous bridal looks in rom com history. Liv looks like she just stepped off the top of a wedding cake, and Emma's elegant dress was passed down from her mother (thankfully her mom had good taste). Liv's Vera Wang dress has all the tulle layering you could ever dream of (seriously you could get lost in it) and an innocent satin bow defines her waistline, while her Bridget Bardot bangs give her a bit of an edge. Two-tone drop earrings from Gottlieb & Sons would pair perfectly with her up do. Em's taffeta dress with an off the shoulder strap gives more of a romantic feel, with a classic curled up do. Pair them with a more vintage-inspired earring from Gottlieb & Sons, like these rose and white-gold diamond clusters. The Notebook - Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams) Now what would this list be without the most romantic movie of all time? Let's just forget she didn't actually walk down the aisle in this look. Soft, romantic old Hollywood curls on this gorgeous redhead's character are stunning. Her post WWII gown features gorgeous lace details and an off-the-shoulder illusion with nylon material covering her shoulders kind of reminds us of Kate Middleton's dress -- and who doesn't want to look like a princess on their wedding day?! Now for the jewelry...think vintage-inspired like this square classic from Gottlieb & Sons. Top it all off with a long, flowing veil and a crown of pearls and you'll be looking more beautiful than Ryan Gosling's ex beau (It's tragic they're no longer together). The Hangover - Tracy Garner (Sasha Barresse) For an extremely light-hearted movie, this girl's got some serious style in the bridal department. This look is for the bride that wants a sweetheart silhouette. Her strapless silk gown with a swan-like fit complements her shape. The satin ribbon adds just a hint of spice to this classic dress. Tracy breaks the rule that you can't rock a ponytail to your wedding – her gorgeous side-swept hairdo with floral details fall effortlessly on her bare shoulders. Finish it off with this diamond necklace by Gottlieb & Sons, adding just the right amount of bling to this bridal look. The Vow - Paige (Rachel McAdams) Rachel McAdams' bridal look in this movie is quirky yet cute. Now we're not saying you have to go all out with the floral pink AND short gown, but you could do one or the other. Short dresses are certainly making a return and they're perfect for summer weddings, while pink makes a statement that's naturally unforgettable. The bouncy pink veil adds more fun to this look, while the jewelry is minimal to balance everything out. To add the ideal finishing touch, this white, yellow and pink halo diamond ring from Gottlieb & Sons is a beautiful cross between classy and unique. One of these ideas is bound to strike some interest for your perfect bridal look -- after all, Hollywood is where all the style trends tend to begin. But the best part is, your romantic comedy doesn't end when the credits come on!

Location: New York University's president, John Sexton, told The Observer a couple of months ago that opponents of NYU's expansion in Greenwich Village should 'move to Sioux City' if they don't want to confront growth. The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation isn't against NYU expanding, just against its expanding in the Village. How is it possible for NYU, however, not to expand in the Village?
Mr. Berman: There's two really important competing interests here. One is NYU's need and desire to grow. The other is the need and desire for the Village and the East Village to kind of stay the dynamic, very diverse neighborhoods that they are. As we've always said, NYU is a key ingredient in that. If NYU becomes the sole defining characteristic of that, the Village and the East Village cease to exist as the places that they've been for the last 200 years.
So the way to really serve all the competing interests is for NYU to do what we've been calling on them to do for the last couple of years—and they're finally recognizing that they need to be looking for locations outside of the Village and the East Village to absorb their future growth. It's what Harvard, Yale, Columbia and basically every top-flight institution is doing now, which is looking for satellite campuses.
We're not asking NYU to reinvent the wheel. They currently have a second campus in east midtown for all their medical school, nursing school, dental school, things like that. For about 100 years, they had a second campus in the Bronx, which in the 1970's they closed off and sold off. So, this is not like some experimental new idea that none of us are sure could work.
The society's opposed to the 26-story NYU dorm going up on East 12th Street. It will be the tallest building in the East Village. Why's that a bad idea, building up, rather than out?
Two things. One thing is that scale is one of the defining characteristics of those neighborhoods. I'm not saying that there are no high-rise buildings there, but they're really more the exception than the rule. The other thing is that I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and thinking back 25 years to when I was a teenager, the presence of NYU in these neighborhoods was palpably different than it is now.
How was it different?
It was much more limited. There were probably two or three blocks right next to Washington Square where you were like, 'Hey, I'm in the middle of NYU.' Now, there's literally dozens and dozens of blocks and you're surrounded by nothing but NYU. And NYU is currently planning for what the university will look like 25 years from now, and I don't want the trajectory for the next 25 years to be the same trajectory of the last 25 years—because, if it is, these neighborhoods will be unrecognizable.
Have you ever met Mr. Sexton? What'd you think of him?
For me, the real test of John Sexton is whether he can walk the walk as well as talking the talk. He's an eloquent talker; he's said a lot of neat things about the need to preserve the fragile ecosystem of Greenwich Village, as he called it. So far, his actions have not followed his words.
We'll see if his legacy is going to be one of perpetuating basically a huge fraud upon this neighborhood, or of following through on his commitments.
On to Donald Trump. He plans a big unveiling later this month for the Trump SoHo Hotel Condominium. What are the chances of stopping it at this point?
At this point, the chances of stopping it are only legal ones. The city has made clear that they believe somehow, through this Alice in Wonderland logic, that this fits the zoning laws—even though, I think, a 5-year-old could say, "That's not a hotel." But the wheels are in motion for a legal challenge. We are restrained by our own internal rules that we will not be a litigant in that case, but we are working very closely with the people who are putting together that case.

Fans get early look at `Elysium' footage
The year is 2154, and Earth belongs to the poor. The wealthiest citizens live on "Elysium," an idyllic, disease-free utopia they built in space.
On Monday, a few hundred film fans in Los Angeles, Berlin and Sao Paolo got an early look at the future home of the 1 percent as imagined by "District 9" writer-director Neill Blomkamp.
Blomkamp showed about 10 minutes of footage from the anticipated film during a special screening. Matt Damon, who stars alongside Jodie Foster, introduced the footage in Berlin and appeared at Hollywood's Arclight Theater via satellite.
In the film, Earth is a trash-filled landscape policed unforgivingly by robotic droids. Flying military tanks patrol the sky.
Damon plays a diseased Earthling trying to infiltrate Elysium to save himself, and perhaps all of humanity. A group of Earth-bound rebels outfit him for the journey with a tentacled "strength suit." They use a drill to affix a digital box to his head that allows him to transfer brain contents as effortlessly as computer files.
Foster plays an Elysium administrator determined to keep Damon out. The star of "District 9," Sharlto Copley, plays a bearded villain who works on Earth to protect the wealthy space enclave.
Speaking to reporters after the screening, Blomkamp hinted that there could be a sequel to his breakthrough debut.
"I think the world of `District 9' has a lot of very interesting race and impression-based ideas that I would still like to explore in that world," he said.
"Elysium" opens Aug. 9.

Eurozone's Rescue Plan Needs A Quick Fix
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. European leaders meet in Brussels next week with an urgent mission: agree on a plan that to keep debt-ridden countries like Greece and Spain from default and save the euro. A plan is emerging now in broad outline - this and coordinated action by central banks around the world - boosted investor confidence. NPR's Eric Westervelt reports.
ERIC WESTERVELT, BYLINE: Midweek, the market surged on news the world's leading central banks would make it cheaper for banks to get U.S. dollars when they need them. The move underscored the rising global anxiety about the ability of European banks to make good on their debts. This is leading to a credit crunch. Banks are growing reluctant to lend to each other, which, in turn, can cut the money available to lend to businesses and lead to a downward spiral. But economist Simon Tilford at the Center for European Reform says the expanded credit lines, in fact, will have little impact on the larger crisis.
SIMON TILFORD: It's a positive step, don't get me wrong. It's a welcome step, but it's not going to be a game changer.
WESTERVELT: Then by week's end, Paris and Berlin proposed rewriting treaties for what they hope will be a new Eurozone stability union. The changes Berlin wants include tighter fiscal controls that Chancellor Angela Merkel said should be linked to stronger stricter rules for budget sinners who run up big deficits.
CHANCELLOR ANGELA MERKEL: (Speaking German)
WESTERVELT: Rules must be adhered to. We must keep close tabs on this, Merkel told lawmakers Friday. Any breaking of rules will bring about consequences. National responsibility, she said, is a prerequisite for European solidarity. As she prepared to head off to Paris and Brussels next week where talk of a new fiscal union will dominate, Merkel also told lawmakers the crisis was like a marathon and that a solution would be years in the making. That, once again, smothered hope of a quick Eurozone rescue.
And that, critics say, is the problem. Leading economists are worried European leaders lack a sense of urgency and that Chancellor Merkel's careful slow approach to solving the crisis downplays the real risks of a banking catastrophe unless the European Central Bank moves more aggressively to buy up bad Eurozone debt. The new ECB chairman has suggested a willingness to act if Eurozone countries promise to take bold steps to enforce fiscal discipline. Eric Westervelt, NPR News, Berlin.

| 3.3°C Belfast
Everton face an anxious wait to discover the extent of a knee injury sustained by Ross Barkley in training.
Press Association Sport understands the England midfielder received a knock on Friday when preparing for the Premier League opener at Leicester.
Barkley will undergo a scan in the next couple of days to assess the damage.
He was a key player for manager Roberto Martinez last season and earned a place at the World Cup on the back of his club performances.
However, the 20-year-old could be facing several weeks out and that would be a significant blow to Everton.
It has been reported that he could miss between six and eight weeks, meaning he could be out until the middle of October, missing Everton's opening seven fixtures of the season in the process.
Barkley made 34 league appearances in the league in a breakthrough 2013-14 season, scoring six goals, with his performances earning rave reviews.
An academy graduate, Barkley had been linked with a move away, with Manchester City and Chelsea rumoured to be interested in the youngster, but he outlined his commitment last month by signing a new four-year contract to remain at Goodison Park.
Friday evening's news also represented a potential blow for Barkley's short-term England chances.
Having made two substitute appearances and one start in Brazil over the summer, Barkley would have been looking to cement his place in Roy Hodgson's first team on a permanent basis.
But he may be forced to watch from the sidelines as the Three Lions begin their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign against Switzerland next month. If he is indeed ruled out for eight weeks, he would almost certainly miss the Group E clashes against San Marino and Estonia.

TOKYO - Safety concerns after a recent crash have put plans to briefly deploy the U.S. Osprey aircraft to a Japanese city on hold, officials said Tuesday.
Opposition to the plan to temporarily base the helicopter-like planes in the city of Iwakuni has been rising since the fatal crash in April left two Marines dead in Morocco.
Japan's defense minister said Tuesday he may go to the city of Iwakuni to persuade local officials to accept the temporary deployment. But after meeting with ministry officials on Monday Iwakuni's mayor said he needs more assurances that the aircraft is safe.
The U.S. military wants to replace aging helicopters on the island of Okinawa with the Osprey after bringing them to Iwakuni for about two weeks later this year for assembly and testing. Local approval is not essential for the project to go ahead, but Japan's central government prefers to have the support of local officials.
The $70 million Osprey is the U.S. military's latest-generation transport aircraft.
It combines airplane-like wings with rotors that allow it to take off and land like a helicopter. Its engines roll forward in flight, allowing it to fly faster than a standard helicopter.
The Osprey program was nearly scrapped after a history of mechanical failures and two test crashes that killed 23 Marines in 2000. But development continued, and the aircraft have been deployed to Iraq.
While the General Accounting Office questioned the Osprey's performance in a report last year, the Marine Corps has called it effective.
An Air Force version of the aircraft crashed in Afghanistan in April 2010, killing three service members and one civilian contractor.
The United States has about 50,000 troops based throughout Japan, with most of them on Okinawa.
Opponents of the bases often complain of the danger of accidents involving local residents, and some have complained about the impending arrival of the Osprey.

- "Kage, Revived!!" (影、復活!!, Kage, Fukkatsu!!)
Kabuto sees that Mū stopped moving and wonders if he was detected. He has Mū summon the Second Mizukage, the Third Raikage, and the Fourth Kazekage. The Kage discuss their situation. Gaara learns whom his division will fight. Darui and his division also prepare to fight. At the alliance headquarters, after receiving intel from the Sensor Division, Shikaku proposes a strategy to the Fourth Raikage. After agreeing to it, the leaders make one amendment and send the Third Tsuchikage to fight the Second Tsuchikage due to his abilities. Black Zetsu arrives at the location of the daimyō of the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
Chapter 526
- "Fierce Battle! The Darui Division!!" (激戦!ダルイ部隊!!, Gekisen! Darui Butai!!)
The Black Zetsu's attempt to capture the daimyō of the Five Great Shinobi Countries fails due to decoys. The Mizukage escorts the Frost Daimyō to a new location. The First Division goes in to battle against the White Zetsu Army. Chiyo's group arrives at the Surprise Attack Division's location. Ōnoki provides backup for Gaara's division. Darui faces the Gold and Silver Brothers.
Chapter 527
- "No-Good Words" (NGワード, Enujī Wādo)
Darui, Samui, and Atsui battle the Gold and Silver Brothers. The Fourth Raikage and Tsunade talk about the history of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. Both Samui and Atsui are sealed away in the Benihisago. Darui's word soul is cut and cursed by the Shichiseiken, and then recorded by the Benihisago. Meaning, if he says the word he has said the most during his life, he will be sealed away.
Chapter 528
- "Overcoming "Dull"" (「だるい」を超えて, "Darui" o Koete)
Darui realises if he stays silent too long he will be sealed away. Ginkaku tells Darui that he is just a tool of the Raikage. Darui then tells Ginkaku that he is the Fourth Raikage's right arm, and is more than just a tool. As he begins to be sucked into the gourd, Darui realises that two words he said sounded like his taboo word "dull". As he is sucked in Darui apologises to many people, making "sorry" the word he has said the most. Darui knocks Ginkaku into the rope, and manages to steal the sword, and gourd. Darui curses Ginkaku with the sword, and as Ginkaku pleads for Kinkaku's help he is sucked in to the gourd. Enraged of his brother's capture, Kinkaku then enters into his Version 2 form.
Chapter 529
- "Golden Bonds" (金色の絆, Konjiki no Kizuna)
While training to master his new technique, Naruto senses something. Kinkaku rampages on the battlefield, and the alliance headquarters are notified. The Fourth Raikage orders the fifth treasure be sent to the battlefield. Shortly after its arrival, backup arrives from the second, fourth, and fifth divisions. With the help of Shikamaru, Chōji, and Ino, Darui seals Kinkaku within the fifth treasure.
Chapter 530
- "Chōji's Determination" (チョウジの決意, Chōji no Ketsui)
Shikamaru, Chōji, and Ino are confronted by Kakuzu. Kakuzu points out that Dan Katō and Asuma Sarutobi are among the battle. Knowing they are the only ones that can defeat him, Team Asuma agrees to fight their former teacher. Elsewhere, Ibuse paralyses the Surprise Attack Division, where Mifune engages Hanzō in combat.
Chapter 531
- "Reunited, Team Asuma!" (再会、アスマ班!, Saikai, Asuma-Han!)
Ino, Shikamaru, and Chōji prepare to fight Asuma. Mifune and other samurai arrive to assist the Surprise Attack Division and battle Hanzō, Chiyo, and Kimimaro. Mifune disables Hanzō's ninjutsu by attacking him between his formation of hand seals. While fighting each other, Mifune remembers the first time he fought with Hanzō. He then surprises Hanzō with his ability to dodge several of his attacks, and was still able to cause damage to him.
Chapter 532
- "Mifune vs. Hanzō, the Conclusion!!" (ミフネVS半蔵、決着!!, Mifune Bāsasu Hanzō, Ketchaku!!)
Mifune reminds Hanzō of what Hanzō had told him during their prior fight as Mifune lay there dying from the poison he received from Hanzō's kusarigama strike. As Mifune laid there dying, Hanzō appreciated his bravery and gave him an antidote for the poison. Reminded of his prior life and in a tremendous demonstration of will, Hanzō places his faith in Mifune and overcoming the talisman that governs him, he commits "seppuku" (切腹, Literally meaning: stomach-cutting) with his broken kusarigama. Piercing the internal venom gland located within his body in the process, an enormous poisonous cloud is released that paralyses the entirety of Hanzō's movements, creating an opening for the Fifth Division to exploit in order to seal him away for the remainder of the war.
In the battle between Asuma and his former students, Shikamaru was able to use his Shadow Imitation Technique to herd Asuma close enough to Chōji for him to strike. But as Chōji uses his Partial Multi-Size Technique on his arm to strike at Asuma, he holds back and stops. This gives Asuma the chance to strike Chōji and prepare to use Wind Release: Dust Cloud Technique, warning his students to run away.
Chapter 533
- "The Time of Vows" (誓いの時, Chikai no Toki)
Ino saves Chōji from being hit by Asuma's technique. Asuma tries to goad Chōji into fighting, to no avail. Ino fights for Chōji, and she, Chōza, and Shikamaru remind him of his oath. Shikamaru remembers Asuma's last request, and urges Chōji to man up. Kakuzu runs from Izumo and Kotetsu. Tenten finds the Bashōsen, and uses it to destroy Kakuzu's lightning mask. The First Division asks for Chōza's aid in battling Dan. Chōji releases his butterfly wings without ingesting the Three Coloured Pills, much to the amazement of his father; Asuma is pleased that Chōji is ready to fight.
Chapter 534
- "Farewell Ino–Shika–Chō!!" (さらば猪鹿蝶!!, Saraba Ino–Shika–Chō!!)
Chōji sprouts butterfly wings as he, Ino, and Shikamaru make their final attack against their sensei. Ino uses Mind Clone Switch Technique on two of White Zetsu, and uses them to attack Asuma, Shikamaru uses Shadow Sewing Technique to make Asuma jump as Chōji attacks and punches him into a wall. Shikamaru throws Asuma's chakra blade to Chōji who punches it, sending it flying towards Asuma. The blade lands on Asuma's shadow, immobilising him. Asuma says their formation was perfect, thanking them as two Sunagakure shinobi seal his body. Naruto Uzumaki and Killer B take a break from training, and Naruto notices that he is not the only shinobi who possesses the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's power. Naruto gets suspicious and runs out to find a group of Konohagakure ninja barring his way.
