Schizoaffective Disorder: History, Symptoms, and Treatment
But even with all those changes to the guidelines, it's still the best diagnosis for patients who might get the wrong kind of clinical treatment if their doctor saw it as just schizophrenia or just a mood disorder.
The history of schizoaffective disorder
George H. Kirby in 1913 and August Hoch in 1921 both described patients with symptoms mixed between schizophrenia and affective (or mood) disorders. Because neither patient kept on getting worse like they would with "dementia praecox," Kirby and Hoch put them in the group of manic-depressive psychoses that Emil Kraepelin came up with.
In 1933, Jacob Kasanin coined the term "schizoaffective disorder" to refer to a disorder with symptoms of schizophrenia and symptoms of a mood disorder. He also noticed that usually the people with this disorder would very suddenly start to have symptoms, mostly as teenagers.
But these people could usually function well in their lives, and a lot of the time there was a specific stress factor that came right before their symptoms. And they usually had mood disorders in their family history.
Around 1970, two things brought about a shift in the way people looked at schizoaffective disorder. This lead them to stop seeing it as a form of schizophrenia and started to see it as a mood disorder. The first thing that changed their mind was that lithium was just as effective for people with bipolar as it was for some people with this disorder.
And the second thing was a joint study done in the US and UK that showed that only reason their was a difference in the number of patients labeled as schizophrenic in the US and UK was that there was a bias. Basically doctors in the US put more weight on whether there were psychotic symptoms when they were diagnosing schizophrenia.
How do you diagnose schizoaffective disorder?
Like we said, the concept of schizoaffective disorder includes diagnostic aspects of both shizophrenia and mood disoders. So that means the way the guidelines for this disorder have evolved mirrors the way the other two disorders we've looked at have evolved too.
The main thing someone has to show in this disorder is that they have to have experienced a major depressive episode or a manic one (they're "full" of energy, don't sleep much, make huge plans, waste a lot of money, etc.) at the same time as they have some symptoms of the active stages of schizophrenia (delusions, hallucinations, etc.).
The symptoms of their mood disorder also have to show up as a major part of the active or residual stage of their psychotic episodes. And the DSM (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) also allows you to decide whether a schizoaffective disorder is bipolar or depressive.
You classify a patient as the bipolar kind if the episode they have is mixed manic (with major depressive episodes or without them). But in any other situation, you classify the patient as someone with the depressive kind of schizoaffective disorder.
Symptosm a person has to show to be diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder
According to the DSM-IV (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV), these are the symptoms a person has to show to be diagnosed with this disorder:
A. A consistent period of illness where at some point they have a major depressive, manic, or mixed episode. At the same time they also have to show symptoms of Criteria A for schizophrenia.
B. During the same period of illness they have to have had delusional ideas or hallucinations for at least 2 weeks without strong affective symptoms.
C. The symptoms that line up with the criteria for mood shift last for most of the time that the active and residual stages of the clinical illness are there.
How does schizoaffective disorder show up?
The signs and symptoms of this disorder are the same as schizophrenia, manic episodes, and depressive disorders. But the symptoms of schizophrenia or a mood disorder can show up at the same time or not.
It can progress in different ways. So there might be cycles where the person gets better and then worse with their symptoms before they take a clear downturn. A lot of researchers and doctors have wondered about the psychotic symptoms that don't line up with mood. What that would mean is that the psychotic content (hallucinations or delusions) don't match the patient's mood.
In general, when these kinds of symptoms show up in a mood disorder it usually means the person has been diagnosed wrong. This might also be true for people with schizoaffective disorder, but we still don't have enough information to be sure.
Symptoms of schizoaffective disorder
Like we said before, the symptoms of this disorder are the same as depression, mania, and schizophrenia:
Symptoms of depression
- Weight gain or weight loss.
- Poor appetite.
- Lack of energy.
- Loss of interest in enjoyable activities.
- Feeling hopeless or worthless.
- Guilt.
- Sleeping too little or too much.
- An inability to think or concentrate.
- Thoughts about death or suicide.
Symptoms of mania
- Little need to sleep.
- Agitation.
- Inflated self-esteem.
- Getting easily distracted.
- Increase in social, work, or sexual activity.
- Dangerous or self-destructive behavior.
- Quick thoughts.
- Speaking quickly.
Symptoms of schizophrenia
- Hallucinations.
- Delusions.
- Disordered thoughts.
- Strange or unusual behavior.
- Slow movement or no movement.
- Lack of motivation.
- Speech problems.
Does substance abuse play a part in causing schizoaffective disorder?
It's hard to prove a clear relationship between taking drugs and developing psychotic disorders. But there is evidence specifically linked to using marijuana. The more cannabis a person consumes, the more likely it is they'll develop a psychotic disorder. The risk factors are also higher if they consume it as a teenager.
A study done at Yale University in 2009 found that cannabinoides increase the symptoms of an established psychotic disorder and can lead to relapses. The two parts of cannabis that cause these effects are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).
On top of that about half of all people with schizoaffective disorders use drugs or alcohol excessively. There's also evidence that alcohol abuse can lead to a person developing a psychotic disorder.
Taking amphetamines and cocaine can also lead to psychotic episodes. Lastly, even though it's not a cause of the disorder, studies say that people with schizoaffective disorder consume more nicotine than the general public.
How do you treat schizoaffective disorder?
The main ways to treat this disorder are hospitalization, medication, and psychosocial interventions. The basic principles they outline for treating these disorders with medication say that you should use the same rules as you do with antidepressant and antimanic drugs. You should only use antipsychotics if the patient needs some short term relief.
If the treatments for improving their mood don't help control their symptoms, that would also be a reason to use antipsychotics. Some examples of these are haloperidol and risperidone.
The things we use to treat people with the bipolar kind of schizoaffective disorder are lithium, carbamazepine, valproate, or some combination of those. People with the depressive kind of schizoaffective disorder should get antidepressants and electroconvulsive therapy. You should always do that so that you can see if they respond to antidepression treatments.
As we'e seen, this is a complicated disorder. And that's true both when it comes to defining it and treating it. But the most important thing you have to be clear about is that the symptoms of this disorder are the same as schizophrenia, manic episodes, and depressive disorders. And that's exactly what makes it so complicated.

Abstract : This report discusses methods and preliminary results of a study of the disposition of radiant energy over bare land that is wetted or ponded in an arid, hot climate. Evaporative flux at the surface is evaluated from a triplicate precision weighing lysimeter installation. Other methods are conventional: (1) comparison of small with large evaporating surfaces show relatively small advective effects at the surface; (2) over large, wet areas, daily balances show, as a rule, no net extraction of heat from the air; and (3) heat flow into the air is extremely variable during the day, depending on the nature of surface and wind conditions. More detailed analysis of the data are planned as well as continued studies involving surfaces with a vegetative cover. (Author)

Erector spinae muscles
The erector spinae muscles are a group of muscles located in the intermediate layer of the intrinsic back muscles. The muscles are expansive; extending the entirety of the vertebral column from the pelvis inferiorly, to the base of the cranium superiorly. Erector spinae differ in size and composition at different levels along the vertebral column.
They are composed of fascicles that attach to different parts of the skull, cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and ilium. Individual muscles are defined by the attachment of these fascicicles and the regions that they extend across. There are three columns of muscle: iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis. Each column is then divided regionally according to its superior attachments.
The erector spinae muscles are located in a groove on either side of the vertebral column between the spinous processes and the angles of the ribs. Erector spinae are covered by the thoracolumbar fascia in the thoracic and lumbar regions. They lie deep to the serratus posterior inferiorly and rhomboids, splenius capitis and cervicis muscles superiorly. The erector spinae group is the main extensor of the vertebral column.
Iliocostalis: Angles of the ribs; lateral crest of sacrum; medial end of iliac crest, thoracolumbar fascia
Longissimus: Transverse process of C4-T5, lumbar intermuscular aponeurosis, anteromedial aspect of ilium, posterior sacroiliac ligament, spinous and transverse processes of vertebrae L1-L5, median sacral crest, posterior surface of sacrum and posterior iliac crest
Spinalis: Upper thoracic and cervical spinous processes;
Iliocostalis: Angles of the ribs; cervical and lumbar transverse processes
Longissimus: Mastoid process of temporal bone, transverse processes of vertebrae C2-C6, accessory and transverse processes of vertebrae L1-L5, transverse process of vertebrae T1-T12, angles of ribs 7-12
Spinalis: Spinous processes of vertebrae C7-T1 and T11-L2; nuchal ligament
|Lateral branches of posterior rami of spinal nerves
|Bilaterally: extension of the vertebral column and head; controlling flexion of the vertebral column by gradually lengthening
Unilaterally: Lateral flexion of vertebral column
|I Like Standing
This article will discuss the anatomy and function of the erector spinae muscles.

Iliocostalis is the most lateral portion of the erector spinae muscles. It is divided regionally into iliocostalis cervicis, iliocostalis thoracis, and iliocostalis lumborum.
Fibres of the iliocostalis cervicis originate from the angle of ribs 3-6. They insert onto the transverse processes of C4, C5, and C6. Iliocostalis thoracis arises from the upper borders of the angles of the lower six ribs. Its fibres are located more lateral to iliocostalis cervicis, inserting at the transverse process of C7 and the superior borders of the angle of the upper six ribs. Iliocostalis lumborum has both lumbar and thoracic parts.
Iliocostalis thoracis arises from the angle of the lower eight or nine ribs. Their tendons join to form a dorsal aponeurosis that covers the lumbar part of iliocostalis lumborum, attaching to the iliac crest. Iliocostalis lumborum originates from the transverse processes of L1, L2, L3, and L4. It passes inferiorly to insert onto the iliac crest.
Longissimus is the central component of erector spinae. Longissimus capitis is a narrow, flat band of muscle attached to the mastoid process, deep to the splenius capitis and sternocleidomastoid. It descends across semispinalis capitis and inserts into the transverse processes of the lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae.
Longissimus cervicis is a long thin muscle that originates from the transverse processes of C2-C6 vertebrae. It descends into the thoracic region between the tendons of longissimus capitis and longissimus thoracis to attach to the transverse processes of T1-T5.
Longissimus thoracis is the largest part of erector spinae. It consists of fascicles with small, fusiform muscle bellies that have short rostral tendons and long caudal tendons. The upper fascicles arise from the tips of the transverse processes of T1-T4. The remaining fascicles arise as bifid tendons from the transverse processes and adjacent ribs of the lower eighth thoracic segments.
The long caudal tendons of longissimus thoracis converge to form an aponeurosis, allowing the tendons to assume a variety of insertions. The tendons of the uppermost fascicles insert onto the lumbar spinous processes; the fascicles for the 7th to 9th thoracic segments insert onto the median sacral crest; and the fascicles from the 10th and 11th thoracic segments insert transversely across the posterior surface of the sacrum. The fascicle from the 12th thoracic segment inserts onto the sacrum and the dorsal aspect of the iliac crest.
Longissimus lumborum is formed by fleshy bundles that arise from the accessory process and medial half of the posterior surface of the transverse process of the lumbar vertebrae. The fascicles pass inferiorly and laterally. The first four fascicles converge on a common flat tendon that covers the lateral aspect of the muscle, separating it from the iliocostalis lumborum muscle fibres. This aponeurosis attaches to the medial surface of the ilium, just dorsal to the ala of the sacrum. The 5th fascicle attaches deep to the aponeurosis, onto the anteromedial aspect of the ilium, and the upper part of the dorsal sacroiliac ligament.
Spinalis is the most medial portion of erector spinae. Spinalis thoracis consists of fascicles that arise from the spinous processes of T11-L2. The fascicles overlap each other, varying in length. The shortest fascicles have the lowest origin and the highest insertion; the longest fascicles have the highest origin and the lowest insertion. Laterally, the muscles blend with the longissimus thoracis.
Spinalis is irregular and poorly developed in other regions along the vertebral column. When present, spinalis cervicis arises variably from the lower part of the ligamentum nuchae, and inserts onto the spinous process of C2-C4. Spinalis capitis consists of occasional fibres of semispinalis capitis that insert onto the spines of C7 and T1.
The aponeuroses of the thoracic fibres of longissimus and iliocostalis lumborum form a wide sheet of parallel tendons known as the erector spinae aponeurosis. The aponeurosis is attached to the lumbar spinous processes and supraspinous ligament, the median sacral crest, and the dorsal iliac crest, covering multifidus and the lumbar parts of longissimus and iliocostalis. It is formed exclusively by the tendons of the thoracic fibres of longissimus and iliocostalis lumborum; the lumbar portions of these muscles are attached separately to the ilium.
The thoracic and lumbar components of erector spinae are powerful extensors of the vertebral column. Acting concentrically and bilaterally, they extend the trunk. Unilateral action of the muscle produces lateral flexion of the trunk. However, the action of erector spinae is usually eccentric. From the upright position, the trunk can flex forward, initiated by the flexor muscles, largely rectus abdominis, and influenced by gravity. The erector spinae muscles control the descent of the thorax under gravity. Similarly, lateral flexion of the trunk is controlled by eccentric contraction of the contralateral erector spinae muscles, assisted by the oblique abdominal muscles.
The function of the cervical and capital components of erector spinae is less clear, they have very little force capacity and poor orientation to exercise tension or control flexion. Their extensor function is overshadowed by the action of the semispinalis and splenius muscles.
Innervation and blood supply
The arterial supply to erector spinae is by a large number of arteries that supply at different intervals along the length of the vertebral column. These include: the vertebral artery, the deep cervical artery, superficial and deep descending branches of the occipital artery, the transverse cervical artery, dorsal branches of the superior intercostal, posterior intercostal and subcostal arteries, and dorsal branches of the lateral sacral and median sacral arteries. The dorsal branches form an arterial trunk which runs in a groove between the erector spinae and multifidus muscles, giving off branches to supply the muscle tissue.
Venous drainage mirrors the arterial supply and is by the vertebral vein, deep cervical vein, the occipital vein, the transverse cervical vein, the superior intercostal veins, posterior intercostal and subcostal veins, and lateral sacral and median sacral veins.
Sometimes you might draw a blank and forget what the muscles consitute the erector spinae. Well, worry not! This simple mnemonic will always help you out. Just remember 'I Like Standing', which stands for:
(Lateral to medial)
And you're all set!
Back pain
Back pain is an extremely common issue. Back pain is one of the leading reasons why people visit their doctors and second only to headaches for cause of people missing work. Localised lower back pain is usually muscular, related to spasming of the muscle as a result of guarding, or contraction of the muscles in anticipation of pain. Common causes of back pain are sprains and strains.
Strains consist of a degree of tearing or stretching of the muscle fibres. Erector spinae muscles are most commonly affected by back strains. Back strains are usually the result of incorrect balancing of a load on the vertebral column, placing strain on the muscles. Using the back as a lever when lifting objects places immense strain on the back muscle, which is why lifting should usually be focused at the knees. The muscles spasm as a protective mechanism after injury.
Spasms are involuntary contractions of muscles which present as cramps, pain, and decreased function. Adequate warm up and stretching, as well as exercises to increase the muscle tone of the back muscles, such as erector spinae, are the main mechanisms for preventing back strains and back pain by stabilizing the vertebral column.

I thought it was time to check how savvy my children are about staying safe online.
They don't really use the computer to talk to their friends yet, but they do play on Club Penguin, which has moderated chat rooms and is probably a good introduction to the 21st century world of digital connections.
For months after Ben had started chattering about this great new game he'd found, I didn't even realise there were other, real people involved.
I was vaguely aware that there were a lot of strangely dressed little penguins scuttling about on-screen with brightly coloured, hairy bobbles following behind them.
But that was as far as it went.
Then one day Hannah mentioned that all the penguins in the room she was in suddenly disappeared when the moderator turned up to tell someone off.
I discovered that there were, in fact, other children operating other penguins, and that they could all select pre-determined messages to send to each other.
Things like "Hi" and "Wanna be friends?"
I discovered that Hannah has 80 buddies – far more than I have on Facebook.
She has some advice for me –
"I just go around asking people, Do you want to be my buddy? Do you want to be my buddy? And they do."
Simple, when you're 8.
So today, after Ben tells me he and some school friends have arranged to meet up on-line at 6.30pm in a pre-determined cafe on a particular Club Penguin server, I casually say –
"You do know not to give out your real name and address and phone number on line don't you?"
"Why?" asks Hannah.
"Don't they talk to you about things like that at school?"
"No," says Ben.
"Well, when you're on-line the people you're talking to might not really be who they say they are. They might be…" I struggle to find a way to describe the terrifying possibilities they don't yet know exist… "bad people, bullies."
"Well I don't see how they can bully me if they're not even in the same room as me," says sensible Hannah.
On one of my many trips in and out of the room containing the computer, I find Ben typing a message.
"What's that about?" I ask.
"It's a question for Aunt Arctic," he replies.
He's trying to get a letter published in the Club Penguin Times, and has drafted something along the lines of –
"Dear Aunt Arctic, I'm really worried that my friend keeps giving out his name and password. I've told him not to, but he says not to fuss. I'm really worried and I don't know what to do."
When I show concern that one of his friends is doing this, he says,
"I'm not really worried, I just thought it would be a good way of getting a question printed in the paper."
When they're in bed, and Hannah has reassured me that she hasn't met any burglars online, I can't resist sneaking onto the site to have a look around.
It's late, and Town seems to have been taken over by eco-warriers and disco-divas, all inviting each other to parties in their igloos and to "Turn green if you support Earth".
I'm masquerading as Ben (who foolishly told me his name and password) and am trying my best not to lose him any cash. This means I can't accept invitations to play games with anyone, as my ineptitude would surely mean losing some of the coins he has amassed in previous contests.
My constant refusals may give him a reputation for rudeness, but at least he will be able to buy food for his puffles (the brightly-coloured hairy bobbles that follow the penguins about) tomorrow after school.
I end up inadvertently interacting with someone, by inviting them for a coffee.
I follow them inside the cafe, but once there I can't recognise which penguin I've invited.
I spend a few minutes whirling around, wondering who I'm supposed to be sitting next to.
When I notice a penguin sitting on its own, its face to the wall with a sulky-faced emoticon hovering overhead, I waddle across to face the music.
But as I haven't yet found a way to say anything other than the pre-set "Hi" "Howdy" and "Hey There" options, I'm a bit stuck for conversation.
So my new friend gets bored and wanders away.
Time I did the same, before Ben is ostracised by all right-thinking penguins.

Rhubarb & Mascarpone
To cook rhubarb, place into a pot an add water (about 1/4 cup, or enough to cook the rhubarb), add sugar (up to 25% of the weight of the rhubarb, you can add none, but the sugar can assist with the taste). Cook for a further 5 - 10 mins once the water has started to boil, or once the rhubarb is soft. Put aside to cool. Any unused rhubarb can be keep in the fridge for up to a week.
To prepare slices, just layer the mascarpone onto each CORN THINS slice, then spoon on rhubarb. So simple & easy....& delicious.
3 CORN THINS slices
Bunch of Rhubarb (cut into 2.5cm slices)
Raw sugar (up to 25% of the weight of the rhubarb)
2 Tbs of Mascarpone (for a lower fat option, or if you want for breakfast, use creamed cheese)
Still Hungry?
Still Hungry, then why not try something else. Check what is in your fridge or pantry, or view any of our other CORN THINS recipes for some tasty ideas.

- I improved my kung fu a bit, so it was a good fight.
- Finished already? I can't even call that practice.
- Looks like I was the stronger of us!
- Your Kung Fu is not enough!
- That's right! They were ten years too early!
- Come back and try me again when you're ready!
- Try my Kung-Fu!
- You'd better not miss it!
- I'll follow your lead!
- Nice set-up!
- Think of the set-up!
Paired CharactersEdit
- Akira: I must become stronger... As strong as a tiger!
Pai: It's impossible for a person to become a tiger, Akira.
- Akira: I'm not even going to break a sweat here!
Pai: You should never underestimate your opponent, Akira.
- Pai: You're ten years too early to challenge us!
Akira: Save that line for after we win!
- Pai: An actress needs to learn from first-hand experience too!
Akira: I don't think you're going to learn anything from these guys, though.
- Akira: As long as no one encroaches upon me, I shall bring harm to no other...
Pai: But that doesn't apply to the bad guys!
- Akira: You're ten years too early to challenge us!
Pai: Haiyaah! They were definitely ten years too early!
- Akira: It seems I still can't see the eight stars...
Pai: Don't stress it, Akira. Just focus on improving your kung fu.
- Pai: What do you intend to use your kung fu for in life?
Akira: That's what I'm still searching for...
Solo CharactersEdit
- Akira: Fight with passion in your heart... That's what my fists tell me.
- Alisa: My fists don't tell me anything, but they can fly pretty far.
- Pai: He didn't mean it in the physical sense, Alisa.
- Akira: The initial approach is key. That's what the stomp is for! Hmph! Ha!
- Arthur: I think I understand! Hmph! Ha!
- Pai: Arthur! You lost your armor!
- Bahn: You seem a bit stronger this time, Akira.
- Akira: I've been working on my kung fu. Just you watch, Bahn.
- Pai: Now that I think of it, how old were you the last time we fought, Bahn?
- Bahn: Not bad, Akira. You want me to teach you my Dragon Upper?
- Akira: Sure, I'm always interested in learning new moves.
- Pai: Just don't get any ideas about learning to shoot ki from your hands, Akira.
Batsu IchimonjiEdit
- Batsu: Heh, the strongest one always wins! That's the way the world works!
- Pai: Batsu, it's not good to think of things so simply.
- Akira: What defines true strength is one of the biggest questions in all of martial arts.
- Batsu: I have another friend named Akira who uses Bajiquan, too.
- Akira: Now that is a coincidence. I'd love to have a match with your friend.
- Pai: It sure would make cheering you on hard...
- Akira: I heard they teach you detectives martial arts.
- Bruno: Yeah, I know a few moves. Somersaults, the giant swing, kouenraku, stuff like that.
- Pai: Umm, who taught you all that?
- Devilotte: The armies of my kingdom are full of soldiers as strong as this enemy!
- Akira: That's pretty impressive. I'd like to go and take a few of them on.
- Pai: And just how are you going to get into space, not to mention the future?
- Akira: A real man would work out and build more muscle
- Flynn: We do regular physical training in the Imperial Knights...
- Pai: He'd just look weird if he got all buff with a face like that.
- Heihachi: I recall a martial artist who once said that what makes a tiger so strong is that it lacks humanity.
- Akira: Pai, that was your...
- Pai: What's important is to live as a human and gain strength as a human.
- Akira: Stone are stones, but not stone at all... I've still got a ways to go.
- Heihaci: Bajiquan proverbs, eh? Looks like you have studied a thing or two.
- Pai: Huh? What are you two talking about?
- Imca: If you want to become strong, you must cast aside what makes you human.
- Akira: Sounds difficult. Is that really true?
- Pai: No, a human cannot become a tiger, nor should they strive to.
Juri HanEdit
- Akira: You use Taekwondo, right?
- Juri: Yeah, so what? Even an idiot could see that.
- Pai: I thought I saw a web come out of your leg for a second back there.
- Pai: Akira, Juri, your kung fu still isn't good enough.
- Juri: Don't be stupid. I know all the Taekwondo I need.
- Akira: No, you guys still need to know more Bajiquan.
- Lady: What's a movie star doing in a place like this?
- Pai: Things just work out that way sometimes. And Akira begged me to come.
- Akira: Hey, you're the one who's always dragging me around, Pai.
- Lindow: You guys do pretty good fighting unarmed.
- Akira: There are many parts of the body like the shoulders, elbows, and back that can become weapons if needed.
- Pai: It's the training until they can be used that way, that's the hard part.
- Neneko: Neneko wants to beat up the bad guys with kung fu too, you know.
- Akira: That's the spirit. After this is over, I'll teach you the horse stance for starters.
- Pai: The horse stance? Somehow I don't think Neneko will take to it very well.
- Akira: So that's it? Come back when you're stronger!
- Neneko: Neneko just hopes they don't come back too strong for us to beat, you know!
- Pai: Yeah, well I guess that is one thing to consider.
- Akira: So your Busujima style focuses on sending ki into your opponents? Sounds interesting.
- Rikiya: Akira, if you truly think so...then I wouldn't mind teaching you.
- Pai: Don't do it. A Tetsuzanko that makes your opponents blow up would be too dangerous.
- Sänger: Akira, Pai. What do you think of our foe?
- Pai: I think they're ten years too early to fight with us.
- Akira: Heh, you're supposed to say that after the fight's over.
- Saya: Maybe I should learn kung fu as a way to keep in shape.
- Pai: I definitely recommend it. You'll save money and improve your luck to boot.
- Akira: Come on now, you know it doesn't do all that.
- Servbots: We want you to teach us a Servbot Elbow attack!
- Pai: I think your arms are too small for that.
- Akira: Maybe they can learn the Tetsuzanko?
- Ulala: Do you have any messages for your families back home?
- Pai: Father, I will never forgive...
- Akira: Pai, stop right there. Otherwise, the entire galaxy will know about your family afffairs.
- Pai: A servant of the gods...Would you be interested in a career in film?
- Valkyrie: Film? What do you mean, Pai?
- Akira: Pai, I hope you're not thinking of using an angel to acheive fame.
- Vashyron: I'm not into shooting enemies in the back.
- Akira: But sometimes getting behind your opponent is the key to victory.
- Pai: I don't think that's what he meant.

CANNIBAL (the last survivor; carnivorous; jungle holocaust; the last cannibal world; il ultimo mondo cannibale) (1976 ITALY) D: RUGGERO DEODATO W: TITO CARPI/GIANFRANCO CLERICI RENZO GENTA W/P: GIORGIO CARLO ROSSI
After being in Umberto Lenzi`s trailblazing MAN FROM DEEP RIVER, Ivan Rassimov and Me Me Lai returned in this stronger variation filled with gore and nudity. A group of people scouting for oil land their plane in the jungle, only to be captured by a primitive tribe. As well as the staged violence acted out on humans, real footage includes a snake eating a lizard (a real big one) and the skinning of a crocodile. I thought the scenes inside a big cavern were unforgettable. Lamberto Bava was the assistant director and in charge of script continuity. Deodato returned with the incredible CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST.

Owners of the fifth generation Toyota Supra are thrilled about that car
In July 1993, the fourth and so far last generation of the Supra came on the market. Internationally, this type is called " Supra MKIV ".
In early 1986, the third generation of the Supra was introduced. It is also the first that has not been marketed with the suffix Celica.
The second generation was presented in the fall of 1981 and had a completely independent drive with the new (170 hp) 6-cylinder engines.
The first Supra built from spring 1978 to summer 1981 was still offered as a top version of the Celica first in Japan and later in the United States.

text: I have S32K144 development board. The board worked properly. I stopped working with the board for few weeks. Then I moved the board I wanted to continue working. But the board stopped working properly. I could connect the board to a computer, write a program, debug the board. But the board could not control outputs. I am sure that the problem is not in bad program, because I also tried your examples(which worked before). Do you think the board is broken by an ESD discharge? Or what could be the problem? Could you recommend any diagnostic work flow how to find out the problem or even how to repair the board? Thank you in advance.

Leaders of the Congressional committees that deal with education issues met late last week to lay the groundwork on how to proceed with a conference committee to resolve differences in the House- and Senate-passed bills to overhaul the current version of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), commonly referred to as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman John Kline (R-MN), Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN), Senate Ranking Member Patty Murray (D-WA), and House Ranking Member Bobby Scott (D-VA) took part in the discussions.
The group agreed to recommend that House Chairman John Kline (R-MN) chair the Conference Committee.
The House passed its version—the Student Success Act—on July 8.
The Senate passed its version—the Every Child Achieves Act—on July 16.
A bill must be agreed to by both chambers in the same form before it can be presented to the President. When there are differences in the bills passed by the two chambers it is common practice to form a conference committee to reconcile the differences between the two bills and develop a bicameral agreement that is then submitted to both houses in identical form.
(A conference committee is a temporary joint committee created to resolve differences between House-passed and Senate-passed versions of a measure; its task is to negotiate a compromise proposal that can be agreed to by both chambers.)
Among the issues on which the conference committee will try to reach a compromise are two provisions in the House bill that are not in the Senate bill: one would allow Title I dollars for low-income children to follow those children to the public school of their choice (known as "portability"); the other would eliminate language in the current NCLB law that allows the federal government to impose sanctions on schools and states in which large percentages of students are opting out of required annual assessments.

As part of the Student Rep Leaf Scheme, which rewards Reps for their contribution, Talia has written about her experiences of being a Foundation Year Student Rep:
'Becoming a Student Rep was for me a slightly impulsive decision. I came in to the role without a full understanding of what it meant to be a Rep, without a full understanding of what being a University of Sussex student meant. However as being a Student Rep has taught me, there is no one way to fill any of these roles. As a Student Rep I have had the privilege of engaging with hundreds of students across the foundation year programme; I have been able to effect change in my course and I have been able to make my voice and the voices of Foundation Year students heard.
With the strikes in full swing at the time of writing this article, one of the difficulties facing Foundation Year students is the way in which these strikes impact our course. In my capacity of Student Rep I have been able to make Foundation Year voices heard throughout the university. Being a Rep has made me more engaged with the University, with my lecturers, with my education and most importantly with my peers. Yes it is a lot of hard work but the snazzy hoodie and seeing the visible impact on students makes it all worth it.'

HookUp with a Hot Nice Ladies : ==> HOT GIRLS Today <==
Worst Twerk Compilation Ever
I will say it's amusing but wow I would hate for this to be my sister,
mother, or future wife lol think of the shame if these girls or so called
women's kids found this or even worst father.
First off, the first girl isn't even twerking. I don't even think there's a
word to explain what she's doing. Second, this is YouTube not a porn
website, so be naked somewhere else please. Learn to twerk before you make
a "twerk video"
U call tht twerking lol u need ur head to be tested..
Stfu haters….you knew what it was before you watched it
Thing that makes me most sad is the low quality cameras…. If your going
to make these videos ladies… buy the best cameras.
The one at 8 51 is my girl.Glad she stop all that shit.
There is nothing wrong with being sexy and having a good time, but present
day, who wants to be on the internet like this? It's not even only about
self respect, it's about the fact that there are predators all over waiting
for just this. You want to take your clothes off and dance until your blue
in the face, go for it, but putting it out there like this is only
initiating potential situations to happen
i just want to fuck them 😀 lol
There's no need
Songs ?please
im gay
Pls, give the artist and title first song from the clip.
Beautiful girls doing very sad things for attention. This is why men don't
respect you. :-(
Please excuse the pun but twerkin my arse
damn this is good :D
i love these gurls
Holy Shit! That first Girl Blond is HOTTER than Hell!!
If there is a guy that doesn't want to see this… then you must be a fag…lol
this is SEX !!!!
Worst compilation ever. They can't twerk!!!
Songs ?please
Shite choice of music
Ok what perverted old white dude that has been to one too many strip clubs
put this together? Ok this is NOT twerking one, and this music is all wrong
and obviously dubbed over the original! UGH!!!

The process of preparing, negotiating and implementing an agricultural land investment contract in a manner consistent with the principles and standards laid out in the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) and the CFS Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI Principles), can be very challenging for investors, governments, legitimate tenure right holders and local communities alike.
The International Institute for the Unification of Private Law (UNIDROIT), in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), is preparing a future Legal Guide on Agricultural Land Investment Contracts (ALIC), to cater for the needs of legal counsels working on the leasing of agricultural land from States and local communities.
The ALIC guide's aim is not to promote large-scale land acquisitions, but rather to raise awareness about alternative investment models. In acknowledging that land acquisitions continue to occur, however, the instrument will help to ensure that leases of agricultural land are done responsibly, with necessary safeguards to protect human rights, livelihoods, food security, nutrition and the environment, and that stakeholders' rights, including those of legitimate tenure right holders, are both protected and respected.
The instrument, building on the success of the UNIDROIT-FAO-IFAD Legal Guide on Contract Farming and the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts, is being developed by a Working Group of experts, representatives of international organisations, and stakeholders. The resulting Zero Draft is currently being circulated as widely as possible in order to solicit comments and feedback.
Structure of the ALIC Zero Draft
The instrument will address the following six main aspects:
(1) Legal framework: The applicable legal framework is made up of various domestic sources of law (e.g. legislation, judicial decisions, regulations and, in some instances, customary rules) and various international sources (e.g. international human rights treaties, investment treaties or soft law instruments). The framework may also vary according to the type of agricultural land investment contract, which might be an investment agreement, lease contract or related agreements.
(2) Parties, due diligence and formation: There are various possible parties to agricultural land investment contracts, and numerous stakeholders that could be affected by such contracts. Difficult tasks could include: (a) identifying both the holders of legal title to the land and any holders of legitimate tenure rights with respect to that land; (b) consulting with those various holders, including in customary settings in which the roles of various authorities might not be clearly defined; and (c) conducting detailed feasibility studies and rigorous impact assessments, with respect to possible tenure, social, environmental and economic impacts.
(3) Obligations and rights of the parties: The agricultural land investment contract, which may be a single agreement or series of agreements, can set out provisions addressing not only the particular tenure and related rights that are granted, but also necessary safeguards to bridge gaps in the State's law and possible impacts of the investment.
(4) Contractual non-performance and remedies: As leases of agricultural land usually involve long-term contractual relationships, it is important to understand the inherent risks in a particular investment and to promote cooperation between the parties and stakeholders.
(5) Transfer and return: The transfer of leased agricultural land from one investor to another can raise various concerns, including whether or not the granted tenure rights are actually transferable, the transfer complies with any contractual limitations, and such transfer is disclosed to the public.
(6) Grievance mechanisms and dispute resolution: Understanding the types of grievances and disputes that commonly arise under agricultural land investment contracts and the various mechanisms for resolving them (e.g. expert determinations, negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation) can also create a more balanced and sustainable contract.
Your views
In this online consultation we invite you to share with us thoughts and inputs you may have on the Zero Draft. Comments concerning the general approach of the Guide or on specific Chapters, sections or issues would be most welcome. In particular, we are seeking feedback on the following:
- Are there sections in the draft Guide that appear to be non-exhaustive or to have gaps in the addressed issues? If so, how would you propose to bridge them?
- Are there sections that lack clarity? If so, how would you propose to clarify them?
- Does the draft Guide present any sections where the content is redundant (i.e. has already been presented elsewhere)?
All comments received will be submitted to the Working Group and taken into account, as appropriate, for the draft's final revision, which is to take place between 1 October and 20 December 2019.
Subject to the final revision process in coordination with FAO and IFAD, the Legal Guide on Agricultural Land Investment Contracts will be adopted by the UNIDROIT Governing Council at its 99th session in May 2020.
Many thanks in advance for your time and valuable input.
Carlo Di Nicola
Senior Legal Officer, UNIDROIT

The 2.0 version of me is all about getting out there and trying new things.
When Was The Last Time You Did Something For The First Time?
Earlier this week, my daughter and I visited a charming little tea room in Pennsylvania. Our first formal tea party.
I love tea. No, I'm OBSESSED with tea! It's so healthy, soothing, and tasty.
I came across a pin on Pinterest about a Mother's Day tea party. My interest was piqued. I found a tea room near me called A Taste of Britain. The reviews were great, so I called and made a morning reservation.
The tea room is such a delightful place. The menu included a large selection of teas. I chose the lemon lavender rooibos and my daughter chose the peach black tea.
My tea was a perfect blend of lemon, lavender, and vanilla. It was calming, soothing, and citrusy. I was in tea heaven!
We ordered tea sandwiches because no tea party is complete without them. The sandwiches were cut into cute little triangles with the crust cut off. They were adorable and yummy.
We ordered our meals. I got an Apple and Brie Panini, and my daughter got The Old Fashioned. We also ordered two chocolate chip scones. Everything was delicious.
My daughter and I poured our last cup of tea around the same time. Then my daughter said, "It looks like our tea party is almost over. We should do this again."
Wait! Stop the Press!
My young adult daughter enjoyed our tea party and wants a repeat. Friends, I felt like a total rockstar. Just call me Mother of the Year.
If you have a teenager or young adult child, you know how big this is.
We talked for over an hour. . .nonstop. There is something magical about tea that connects people.
On the way out, we stopped at the gift shop. The gift shop has a wide variety of authentic British products. I saw a few unfamiliar tea brands that I plan on trying. I may be adding them to my list of favorites, which include Twinings, TAZO, and Adagio Teas.Shop Adagio Teas
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience and plan on going back soon.
Have you ever visited a tea room? What are your favorite tea brands?


text: At least six people have been killed in Nicaragua on Saturday as political unrest that has plagued the country for more than month continued. The Nicaraguan Association for the Protection of Human Rights (ANPDH) said the dead included a 15-year-old boy, as well as one police officer. Residents set up barricades to protect themselves from what they said were police and pro-government paramilitaries. Managua's auxiliary Roman Catholic Bishop Silvio Baez called on people in Masaya to stay indoors and warned of snipers. "The situation is very difficult. I have been told there are multiple snipers ready to shoot!" he said on Twitter. Police blamed the violence on criminal groups with firearms and mortars who they said carried out "terrorist acts". Police in riot gear riding on the back of pick-up trucks fire their shotguns towards university students taking part in a protest against Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega in Managua. [Esteban Felix/AP Photo] {articleGUID} In the capital of Managua, a US citizen was shot dead. According to ANPDH, the 48-year-old was killed by a pro-government mob. Police attributed the killing to anti-government protesters. US Ambassador Laura Dogu expressed her condolences in a tweet and said: "The death of a US citizen is of great concern to our embassy". Police reported looting, fires and riots in cities including Masaya and Managua between Friday and the early hours of Saturday. 'Lethal force' The violence comes days after 16 were killed in anti-government protests on Nicaragua's Mother's Day. More than 100 people have died in the country since the unrest began in April. Protesters have taken to the streets, demanding President Daniel Ortega stand down. Authorities have been accused of using "lethal force" to crack down on the protests. {articleGUID} Ortega, a former Sandinista rebel who first ruled between 1979 and 1990 before returning as president 11 years ago, has kept power by maintaining leftist rhetoric while ensuring an accommodation with powerful private industry and keeping up trade with the United States. But demonstrators have voiced frustration over corruption, the autocratic style of Ortega and Murillo, limited options to change the country's politics in elections, and the president's control over Congress, the courts, the military and the electoral board.

In order to use a multimeter effectively, you first have to ensure that you understand the basics of electricity. Although it is often defined as a flow of electric charge, there is so much more to it. Understanding the physics of the matter will not necessarily help you use a multimeter, but might give you a better idea of the things that can go wrong and put them in a context when troubleshooting one of your devices.
Before buying one, it is important for you to know its uses. A multimeter can be used to measure voltage, current and resistance. Also, it can test continuity and perform diode tests. There are standard and advanced multimeters on the market that can be used for very different purposes, so it is important to analyse your needs before investing in such a device. For instance, if you want to own a multimeter for home and occasional use, there is no need to invest in an advanced one, as you will probably never make use of all of its functions.
Using a multimeter isn't a difficult task, yet one must know how to read its display, its knob and ports. Also, it is good to know which the ranges of voltage, amperage and current that your devices require in order to function properly are.
Here is what you have to learn in order to be able to use a multimeter:
- The meaning of COM
COM stands for common and is the black probe that must always be plugged in into its own port. In case the multimeter does not work, it is highly probable that the probes have been entered incorrectly.
- The meaning of VΩmA / mAVΩ
As scientific as it may seem, this abbreviation stands for voltage, resistance and current and nothing more. In order for you to measure them, you must plug the red probe into its port. Also, it is important to know that voltage, resistance, continuity, and current can be tested using this port if they are less than 200 mA.
- The use of the 10ADC port
This port is also referred to as 10A and it must be used when measuring the above at more than 200 mA.
The most basic test that you can start with is testing the voltage of an AA battery. What you need to do in this situation is simply place the probes in the right plugs and make sure that you touch the black probe on the negative side of the battery and the red probe on its positive side. Set the multimeter to 200 volts and then take a look at the screen. The value that will be displayed represents the voltage. This is a general reading. If you want to obtain a more accurate one, you will have to lower the voltage. So, for example, you can turn the knob to 20 volts.
Testing voltage is the easiest tasks that you can start with. When confident enough, you can go ahead and learn how to test amperage and continuity. Owning a digital multimeter is extremely useful in a variety of situations, which is why you should start learning how to use one today.

German Lottery Operator Succeeds In Banning Lottery Betting Rival
A Gibraltar-based lottery betting company has been banned by a regional German court from receiving bets on the outcomes of state lotteries, but the regional court decision has again raised questions about Germany's lottery monopoly system.
The defendant, so far unnamed, argued against requiring permission to offer its services in Germany as the State Treaty on Gaming created a lottery monopoly, violating the "higher ranking law" of the European Union by limiting competition.
Rhineland-Palatinate's Koblenz Regional Court dismissed the argument as "irrelevant", on the basis that the defendant is not a traditional lottery due to a lack of "its own game plan".

The Home Office has long had a reputation as a glittering coffin. Many recent home secretaries have, as one of them put it to me, left the place feet first. There have been six New Labour home secretaries in the past 13 years – three of whom were forced to go.
To try to capture the culture and DNA of the most hazardous department in government for a new TV series, The Great Offices of State, I have had access to the latest Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, and his Sir Humphrey, David Normington, and I have talked to many previous home secretaries and their normally camera-shy top mandarins.
Nearly 30 years ago, the Home Office moved into new, specially built headquarters. Its brutal concrete and glass exterior seemed to reflect the distinctive culture that had grown up among its civil servants – secretive, defensive and designed to repel boarders. Sir Hayden Phillips, a long time Home Office mandarin, says: "There was a sense of being bunkered – always being got at and not being understood – with people not appreciating you were trying to do a good and honest job."
New Labour's first home secretary, Jack Straw, says that he and his officials would refer to the Home Office building as if it were a KGB jail. "We used to call it Lubyanka. It was like a prison and with little cells. As home secretary you could go up in the ministerial lift – you had your own loo. And with a bit of luck you'd never be contaminated by any other form of human life – except in a meeting. And later you'd go down in the lift and leave."
The Home Office has long had the reputation of being a backward-looking and closed society where the policies would continue unchanged, whoever came in as home secretary. Michael Howard says that when he was the last Tory home secretary journalists would ring the Home Office to ask about policy and would be told by officials: "Well, the Home Office policy is this – however, the Home Secretary thinks…"
Howard had come to the Home Office with a hard-line agenda to cut crime. But he came up against the Home Office's own distinctive view that had developed over the years. "I was shown charts which showed crime rising inexorably and the officials actually said to me: 'It is going to continue to go up and the first thing, Home Secretary, that you have to understand is that there is nothing you can do about it'."
Howard felt that in his four-year term he had managed to change that culture and he was saddened to hear what his successors had found.
"I hate to agree with Michael Howard about this," says David Blunkett, the former Labour home secretary, "but he and I shared the view that the Home Office didn't really believe that they could change the world – that they could really make a difference in reducing crime."
And Jonathan Powell, who was Tony Blair's chief of staff, recalls the presentation the Home Office gave to the New Labour Prime Minister: "They presented projected figures that showed crime inexorably rising during our years in government. And they said this was a result of the economy improving, and as the economy improved, there'd be more stuff to nick and therefore there'd be more crime.
"We were a bit bemused by this and I asked what would happen if the economy turned down and we suffered a recession rather than a growing economy? They said: 'Oh well, crime would go up, there'd be more people to nick things'."
The former Cabinet Secretary Lord (Richard) Wilson, who was the Home Office's top mandarin under both the Tories and New Labour, explains the official mindset. "In the Home Office, you do have a sense that you are the Department of Law and Order, in an age when authority may not be the most fashionable of the roles to play. They feel that faced with the growth in crime, this is the sum total of endless other failings which no one home secretary has the capacity – however brilliant and however powerful – to tackle."
Blair's first home secretary was Jack Straw, but over the years the PM came to feel that Straw had fallen prey to a defeatist Home Office orthodoxy on crime. "I did get irritated with Tony sometimes and used to say to him: 'I think you're asking me to push water up hill, aren't you?'," Straw says.
Blair chose the populist figure of David Blunkett to replace Straw. But the new home secretary came up against the new top mandarin, Sir John Gieve. He believed that Blunkett was more driven by getting good crime-fighting headlines than by hard analysis. "David Blunkett wanted to shake up the Home Office," Sir John says. "The political agenda was to seize this traditional bit of Tory ground and reclaim law and order as a Labour issue. That made the Home Office the main political battlefield."
Blunkett admits: "John Gieve and I did have our clashes and frustrations. But what I needed was a can-do attitude." Sir John counters: "I was responsive to David's policy agenda but he should have been looking to me not just to be a supporter, but to be someone who was telling truth to power."
Blunkett came to feel increasingly frustrated at the Home Office. And as his private life became entangled in official business he felt one day that even the run-down building itself was in revolt against him. "I went in one morning and the building was creaking, it was beginning to fall apart, a kind of metaphor really," says Blunkett.
"I walked into the upstairs toilets and I was very quick on the uptake in realising there was something amiss here. And I was very glad I did, because I called in one of the private secretaries: he declared with an entirely straight face that the sewage system had obviously gone into reverse and the whatsit was now in the washbasin and the bath area rather than down the toilet. And I thought, well that just about sums it all up."
After Blunkett resigned, the Home Office moved to shiny new hi-tech headquarters. Charles Clarke was the new Mr Fixit. But he become embroiled in a huge political row when it was revealed that the Home Office had, over six years, released a thousand dangerous and violent foreign prisoners – including murderers and rapists – without them being considered for deportation. The Home Office had no idea where they were, nor how many more such cases there were.
Charles Clarke says the scandal was the result of the "absurd and ridiculous system" where one part of his sprawling empire did not know what the other part was doing. And in our film he takes the highly unusual step of publicly pointing the finger at his top mandarin. "I made the mistake in relying on Sir John Gieve, who had assured me that he'd got the matter in hand in terms of dealing with the immediate situation – which turned out not to be the case."
Sir John responds: "We should have dealt with the thousand cases better over six years – actually, before I was there as well as when I was there. But obviously Charles Clarke had doubts about me, and" – Sir John added, after a lengthy pause – "I about him."
Sir John had left the Home Office by the time Charles Clarke was, as he puts it, "sacked" by Tony Blair over the foreign prisoners fiasco. The new home secretary was the Glaswegian hard-man John Reid.
Sir David Normington, who took over from Gieve and remains Permanent Secretary, says: "John Reid came in like a whirlwind. He was put here to steady the ship and take a grip." Sir David was at Reid's side in the Commons when the new home secretary famously described his division dealing with asylum and immigration as "not fit for purpose".
"I agreed with his analysis," says Sir David, "but wish he hadn't used the 'not fit for purpose' phrase, because of course that then became the label that attached to the Home Office for the next several years and to some extent still does when we run into heavy weather."
But what, I asked, had the phrase done at the time for morale in the Home Office? "Morale was low because the previous home secretary had lost his job," says Sir David. "That was the result of something that we had done wrong. We're here to serve our home secretaries, not to cause problems for them. Departments can lose their reputation in a moment and on that day our reputation was absolutely in shreds."
Over the past four years, Sir David has done his utmost to restore the Home Office's standing. Although he had strong personal reservations, he went along with the plan hatched by Tony Blair and John Reid for the biggest shake up in the Home Office's history. The department was split into two ministries on continental lines: criminal justice, prisons and probation were handed over to the newly created Ministry of Justice, and the Home Office became effectively the ministry of the interior, responsible for internal security, law and order, immigration and terrorism. That decision has led many former secretaries and leading officials to wonder whether the Home Office any longer deserves its designation as a great office of state.
Labour's latest Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, has no doubts that the Home Office is still one of the great departments: "And it had better stay one now I'm in it." But any future incumbents would be wise to heed the words of a beleaguered home secretary who wrote in a memo to his Sir Humphrey 50 years ago: "Poor old Home Office, we don't always get it wrong. But we always get the blame."
'The Home Office', the first of Michael Cockerell's three-part series on 'The Great Offices of State', is on BBC 4 at 9pm tonight.

Today marks the latest DC foray into the likely, yet unlikely, partnership of the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel.
"Batman Superman" No. 1 is out today and it promises to tell us how DC's greatest heroes first met in the universe that the company rebooted almost two years ago.
In years past, the two were partnered most famously in "World's Finest Comics" and most recently in "Superman/Batman." Various versions of their meet-cute have been out there in various forms over the years – including the time when Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent ended up sharing the same cruise cabin (hmm).
It's always been kinda difficult for me to see these two as heroic partners: You have the most powerful hero in the world paired with the one who has no powers at all. I love them each on their own but I've never seen them as two great tastes that taste great together.
But I'll buy anything if a story is well told. I never expected, for example, that Aquaman would one day be one of DC's most richly told books. But that's what happens when you bring top talent to the table.
Enter writer Greg Pak and artist Jae Lee, who certainly have the chops for a first-rate tale.
I asked Pak for the gist of the storyline, without giving too much away.
"We're telling the story of the first meeting between Batman and Superman, at a time when both men are young and raw and wild and new to this whole crazy superhero thing," he explained. "Without spoiling too much, each will immediately see the other as the most dangerous person on the planet — with some justification. The story will explore the worlds-shattering repercussions from that initial clash. And yes, I said "worlds," plural."
But what about the classic conundrum of DC's most powerful character teaming up with the one with no powers at all?
"It's no problem at all when the character with 'no powers' is Batman," he joked. "Seriously, though, there are always things that one of these heroes can do that the other can't or won't. And I'm not just talking about powers or abilities. The contrast in ethics and worldview is what makes the team-up so compelling.
"It's also worth noting that our story begins in the earliest days of the New 52 (the name of DC's revamped universe), when Superman's powers are still developing," he added. "He's still the strongest person on the planet, but he has more vulnerabilities than the Superman we might think of today. And if anyone's going to figure out those weak spots, it's Batman."
Pak said he's read "tons" of Batman-Superman stories, including the various first meetings told over the years. But he said he and Lee are "doing our best to tell a fresh, new story — something that could only play out this way in DC's New 52. I've had a total blast working on the book so far."
"This is my first project for DC, and it feels like the perfect time to be jumping on board, when the relaunch of these classic characters has established an intriguing, dangerous new status quo and plenty of room to explore new aspects of their relationships," he said. "And yes, there are a few Easter eggs here and there, although you might also just call 'em homages, including a pretty big 'Batman: Year One' hat tip in the first couple of pages of the book."
The first arc will be four issues. And, he pointed out, it's important for readers to pick up the "Darkseid" one-shot during DC's Villains Month initiative in September. The next arc will take place in the present-day, as opposed to five or six years ago, which is the dawn of the New 52 in comic-book time.
Pak also praised his collaborator as much as he did the characters.
"Jae's tremendous," he said. "We had the opportunity to meet in person as we were planning the book, which was a real treat. He's a genuine visionary. Every image he produces is so gorgeously, lushly designed, it takes my breath away. And at the same time, he's totally under the skin of these characters. He's bringing out all their subtle conflicts and vulnerabilities and inner thoughts. Such a pleasure working with him. I'd also love to give a shout out to June Chung, who's coloring the book and bringing so much atmosphere and emotion to every page."
"Batman Superman" No. 1 is available today in stores and for digital download.

When is Good Girls season 3 released on Netflix?
The dark comedy drama is set to return in 2020
Craving more Good Girls? Well, you're in luck – it is set to return for a third season in 2020. Despite losing a few viewers in its second run, US network NBC deemed the show successful enough to renew it for another set of episodes back in April 2019.
- The best TV shows airing in 2019
- Netflix release dates 2019
- Listen to the RadioTimes.com Podcast now: subscribe on iTunes/subscribe on Google Podcasts
Like its fellow NBC property Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the show about three moms-turned-criminals is streamed internationally by Netflix (it was amongst the most-watched shows on Netflix in June 2019).
Find out everything you need to know about Good Girls season 3 below.
When is Good Girls season 3 released on Netflix?
No release date has been announced as yet – but we expect the show to arrive on Netflix once it has completed its US run, which should kick off in February or March 2020. That should mean a Summer 2020 release on Netflix UK, if all goes to plan.
Who is in the cast?
Christina Hendricks of Mad Men fame, Retta (Parks and Recreation) and Mae Whitman (Arrested Development) are all expected to return as the central trio of Beth, Ruby and Annie.
But a cliffhanger at the end of season 2 hinted that Manny Montana's Rio is dead – so it's unclear whether or not he will return…
Is there a trailer for Good Girls series 3?
Not yet, but we'll let you know right here.

Pressure washers are great tools to have in both residential and business settings. They provide an easy way to clean driveways, walkways, building exteriors and vehicles, among other things. Purchasing a pressure washer is a big investment for anyone, and you know that it will require regular servicing and upkeep to maintain its efficiency and extend its lifespan.
Servicing pressure washers in Columbus, GA is an important part of owning this piece of machinery. If you don't plan on doing all repairs and tune-ups on the equipment yourself, you should look for a professional to help you and ensure that the machine is running as smoothly as possible.
Qualities to look for in pressure washer servicing companies
You don't want to buy parts from or take your pressure washer in for repairs to just any company. With a piece of equipment that's so important to your business or home, you want to make sure that the company you work with to service your equipment is the best around. When researching pressure washer maintenance professionals, look for these qualities:
- Experience: Make sure that the company you work with is experienced with pressure washers and similar equipment. The best servicing companies will have years of experience in installing and repairing all types of equipment and will know what equipment serves which types of customers best.
- Knowledge: You want to work with a company that really knows its stuff if you are going to trust them to keep your pressure washer working in top shape. Choose a company that is knowledgeable on many types and brands of equipment and will know what parts will best suit your machine if it breaks down. The technicians at your servicing company should be trained to know specific details about a variety of brands and models.
- Customer service: The best companies to work with are the ones that truly care about their customers and their needs. During your research, find out if the company you're looking at will provide the services you need when you need them, and if they deliver quality products and services each and every time.
- Positive reviews: Finally, look into the reviews of the company and make sure they have been positively recommended by other customers. If they are continuously providing excellent service, their reviews will reflect that, and you will know that you can trust them. Also, look for companies with positive ratings through the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB lists and rates reliable companies that are guaranteed to provide quality products and services.
If you need servicing on your pressure washer, don't settle for just any company. You should trust your expensive equipment with a reliable, knowledgeable and experienced team of professionals who are dedicated to providing you the best service possible. Make sure that the pressure washer servicer you go to meets all of these criteria, and if they don't, consider switching to a company that does.

It was nice to be able to see clearly out far but with the look unders I could still see my camera screen clearly also. Unfortunately the mask itself is not right for my face and leaked. No fault of GogglesNMore. I was not able to try masks on with no Tusa dealer anywhere near us and I took a chance. The nice thing is is these lenses fit at least three other Tusa masks so when I can get to a dealer I can get a mask and put these lenses back to work. 5 Awesome mask! Posted by Helen on 27th Jan 2014 I was very pleased with this mask. It arrived much earlier than expected, and any queries I had were answered straight away in a very friendly manner. I have used it for underwater hockey and diving and it is just a brilliant experience being able to see so well underwater!! I would definitely recommend this mask and this website to anyone. Thank you! :)
