Here is a simple filament runout sensor. I was going to use an optical sensor, but I print using clear filament sometimes, and wasn't sure how it would work. In any case I had several of these microswitches laying around and decided to use them. These have a flag, but no roller. Note that I slightly bent down the end of the flag, so that the filament would slide either way, but you want the primary direction to be so that it goes with the flag. I put a mark on the outside of the assembly so I would know which way to the filament goes. To secure the two haves, you need 3x M2x12mm bolts and nuts. I created versions for 3mm and 1.75mm filament. It will clamp onto entry or exit tubing. I assumed 6mm tubing for 3mm filament and 4mm tubing for 1.75mm filament.
Nothing special required. Miles and miles of filament passing thru could eventually grind down the channel, so I guess tougher is better. I used HIPS.
Runout sensor mount, you will need three 2mm screw and bolt.

I have got eye infection and it is swollen and itching from this morning. I think I should not use any medicine for this. Any home remedy for this. And will this effect the LO.? Please suggest.
I've had this for over a week now - itchy, dry eyes. At times it's enough to drive me mad! I spoke to my doc and she said it was ok to use eye drops as long as I use them in appropriate dosage. It helps, but the problem hasn't gone away - apparently it's a hormonal thing and may well last for a while!
Thank you Ranji and Monika..

Relax and let us spoil you on the Eco Rainforest River Sunset Cruise. Come aboard Jasmine, our all weather cruising boat and explore the riverscape as the sun sets over Mount Chincogan in the east, and the glorious colours of the sky colour the water.
We will welcome you aboard piror to departing the harbour, entering the river and heading downstream to see the popular swimming beaches at the river mouth. Be entertained by our fun, informative commentary on the area's fascinating history, environment, local aboriginal culture and bush stories.
We turn upstream and glide gently along the Brunswick River enjoying the wonderful scenery and wildlife, noting our resident nesting sea eagles, darting azure kingfishers and pied cormorants, as well as visiting migratory species. You may see a sea turtle, all sizes of stingrays, and large schools of mullet and sand whiting.
Our award winning team are on hand during the cruise to point out sites of interest and answer questions. Relax and enjoy the riverscape unfold from comfortable seating on the open top deck, from the comfort of the interior cabin, or the front or rear of the boat.
Sunset cruises include a complimentary drink from the bar. Choose from a Brookies Gin and Tonic or Slow Gin, a Stone and Wood locally brewed beer, a range of soft drinks or fruit juice. Enjoy a wonderful selection of local produce on our complimentary tapas platters, with small goods from Salumi, olives from The Farm and a range of gourmet cheeses.
A perfect event for special occasions, meeting friends, family gatherings, visitors and groups.
Are there age restrictions for who can come on the cruise?
Anyone of any age is welcome to come cruising. For younger families, kids love the boat and travelling along the river, and our skipper may even give them a chance to steer the boat. Nursing mothers are able to find a private space to care for their child, and books and play toys are available for toddlers. For older travellers access is easy onto the boat, and the lower deck doesn't require any steps or climbing to access.
How far does the cruise go along the river?
Depending on the tide and sand movements we cruise up to 10km to just outside of Mullumbimby, before returning to the mouth of the river to explore the north and south arms of the Brunswick River.
What can I expect to see on the cruise?
There is an abundance of wildlife along the rivers course, as it is part of the Cape Byron Marine Park. Stingrays, turtles and a variety of fish species are easily seen from the deck. Migratory birds nest along the river and forage in the shallows, as well as resident species such as our magnificent sea eagles, brahminy kites and azure kingfishers. We provide binoculors to get a close up view of the beautiful wildlife.
Where do I park / drop off for the cruise?
There is free and plentiful parking at the Brunswick Heads harbour to leave your car while you enjoy your cruise.
You can also order an Uber or a taxi from Go Byron .
Can you pick me up to come on the cruise?
Yes we can! We can pick you up from and deliver you back to your accommodation or a central location in Byron Bay, Brunswick Heads or other location in the Byron Shire (by arrangement & an additional fee of $10 per person may apply).
Do you cruise when it is raining?
Yes we do! When the beach is closed, the river is open. Our boat Jasmine is suitable for river cruising in all weather. The Brunswick River is alive with wildlife in all seasons, and the landscape and riverscape is ever changing, come rain or shine.
What is access like for elderly or disabled passengers?
There is one disbled accessible parking space available which is located on the opposite side to the harbour. There is access for passenger drop off close to the boat for those who may not be able to walk distances.
How easy is it to get on and off the boat?
There are 4 steps from the wharf down to the boat access and 2 steps down onto the boat deck. Suitable for people with walkers with assistance. We also have a carpeted loading ramp if needed for easier access to the boat. Our crew are happy to help people boarding. Unfortunately we do not have wheelchair access. Companion Dogs are welcome - please advise when booking.


For an organization transitioning to agile development, creating software architecture isn't incompatible with your new processes. Consider the principles in the Agile Manifesto, involve team members who will be using the architecture in its development, and reflect and adapt often, and you will end up with an architecture that meets the needs of your team and your enterprise.
Software architecture is the design and specification of the rules by which software will be built and by which components of the system will behave and interact. It could be as high-level as "We will build out the solution using REST services" or as detailed as naming the particular services to be developed and what data we expect to pass in and out of each.
Architecture also includes establishing design considerations for the development team, such as "no returning null values" and "all code must be peer reviewed before release," as well as producing and maintaining a list of third-party libraries that are approved for use when building code.
When I look at the Agile Manifesto, several principles stand out that guide the development of an agile software architecture.
Architecture specifications, design documents, approval processes, etc., may be important, but only when they bring us closer to our goal of working software. These artifacts are only a means to an end, not a goal themselves, so they must never be prioritized over delivering working code.
This principle is closely tied to the Agile Manifesto value of working software over comprehensive documentation. If we spend too much time documenting our architecture instead of building working code, we are moving away from agile principles.
"Ivory tower architectures" developed by architects that are not involved in the day-to-day development of the software may not fit the immediate needs of the software and the team. The team has the best vantage point to figure out what they actually need to build and how that aligns with architectural guidelines.
If you consider that the customer for the architecture is the development team, this principle and the related Agile Manifesto value of customer collaboration over contract negotiation suggests that a big, up-front architecture created by an architectural team will not be as effective as embedding an architect into the team working with the developers throughout the project. A creative collaboration involving someone who will actually be using the finished product will lead to an architecture that fits the team needs as well as the requirements of the enterprise. An architectural contract handed down from on high will often not.
Up-front architectural designs often try to accommodate anticipated future needs that may never actually be realized. That causes more work for a payoff that never arrives. Building and designing based on perceived future need is not agile and wastes effort. Try using team-based design, where your design is incrementally built along with the code, refactoring it as you go.
Architecture is there to guide the team to a solution that fits the needs of the software and the enterprise. If the team members aren't involved with the development of the architecture, they may not understand the objectives and values, so they are more likely to be prone to following the letter of the law without understanding the spirit. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
Agile doesn't mean "no design" or "no architecture." Best practices still apply and will help the team develop more effectively. A well thought-out architecture makes it easier to change directions as customer needs change or become better understood.
Too much architecture can make it more difficult to adapt. Agile architecture must strike the right balance for the team, the software, the environment, and the enterprise.
What was expected in the early stages of a project almost never matches with reality as the project matures. This holds true for design and architecture just as it does for requirements. By designing iteratively and reflecting on what is providing value and what is hindering the team, the team can adjust the architecture as it is tested and proven through actual use, and they can reevaluate and adapt it as the project changes.
In order to be agile, we must develop the architecture in an iterative manner, beginning with enough definition for the team to start development. The architecture has to guide the team in a direction that will give them the best chance for success, without specifying so much that they don't have the flexibility to build the software in an agile manner.
There is a trade-off between allowing a team to choose what makes sense for their project while ensuring they don't pick technologies that are incompatible with the rest of the enterprise. This trade-off is making sure the team builds software that aligns to the overall enterprise architecture without forcing the team to use an architecture that won't be effective for their project.
Like any mature agile process, an agile approach to architecture relies on doing just enough definition up front to get started, gathering feedback as we go, adjusting as needed, and iterating frequently to keep architecture and design in sync with the emerging application.
Prior to the first sprint, a high-level enterprise or system architecture should be created (if it doesn't already exist) and discussed. As part of each sprint kickoff, team-based design is used to update the as-is design from the last sprint to account for feature additions and enhancements that will be made in the current sprint. As stories are tasked out for development and testing, the team will use this new "to be" design to help determine what will need to be implemented in order to satisfy the expected design.
Sprint review meetings should present how each story fits into the bigger picture of the whole application and the enterprise. Sprint retrospectives should include architecture and design in the discussions of what is working and what isn't.
By collaborating with the development teams, we can be sure the architecture reflects real-world needs and isn't just an "ivory tower" architectural approach that makes sense on paper but fails in actual use.

UNWTO: Guatemala to Launch Sustainable Tourism Observatory
Madrid (Spain) – May 17, 2019 (travelindex.com) – The new Observatory is located in the city of La Antigua Guatemala, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a leading tourism destination. Led by the Instituto Guatemalteco de Turismo (INGUAT) and supported by the Guatemalan government, the Observatory will periodically collect data and scientific evidence as it monitors the effect tourism has on the historic city. This data will then be used to assess how tourism can best be used to help drive sustainable growth and development.
"We warmly welcome Antigua´s entry into our global network of observatories. This demonstrates Guatemala's strong commitment to tourism as a force for good," said UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili. "The Observatory will generate more and better evidence of the economic, environmental and social impacts that tourism has on Antigua and the surrounding area. This will facilitate decision-making so that tourism can continue to drive sustainable development."
The establishment of the new Observatory was announced during the 64th meeting of the UNWTO Regional Commission for the Americas, also held in Antigua (15-16 May). Moving ahead, the Observatory will work with an interdisciplinary group of local experts. This commitment to the input of local stakeholders is a key feature of the INSTO Observatories around the world.
Jorge Mario Chajón, Director General of INGUAT, adds: "This project will have a real multiplier effect, maximizing the economic as well as the social benefits that tourism brings. We welcome the opportunity to partner with UNWTO and work together to make tourism a key part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."
About INSTO
The UNWTO International Network of Sustainable Tourism Observatories (INSTO) was created in 2004 with the main objective of supporting the continuous improvement of sustainability and resilience in the tourism sector through systematic, timely and regular monitoring of tourism performance and impact at the local level. The network connects committed destinations around the world, helping them to exchange and improve knowledge and understanding of the monitoring activities throughout the destination and the responsible management of tourism.

"The Standardization of Terminology of Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction" (1996), Richard C. Bump, Anders Mattiasson, Kari Bø, Linda P. Brubaker, John O.L. DeLancey, Peter Klarskov, Bob L. Shull, Anthony R.B. Smith
In 1996, a team of researchers associated with the International Continence Society published "The Standardization of Terminology of Female Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction" in American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Pelvic organ prolapse is characterized by the descent of the pelvic organs into the lower portion of the pelvis and is often caused by a weakening of the muscles and ligaments that normally hold the organs in place.

"Levator Trauma is Associated with Pelvic Organ Prolapse" (2008), by Hans P. Dietz and Judy M. Simpson
Hans Peter Dietz and Judy Simpson published, "Levator Trauma is Associated with Pelvic Organ Prolapse," in the journal BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2008. In their article, Dietz and Simpson estimated the risk of pelvic organ prolapse in women who attained injuries to the pelvic levator muscles. The levator muscles, also known as the levator ani, are a major muscle group that comprise the pelvic floor. Along with other muscles, the pelvic floor supports organs in a woman's pelvis, such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
"Pelvic Organ Prolapse" (2007), by John E. Jelovsek, Christopher Maher, and Matthew D. Barber
In 2007, physicians John Jelovsek, Christopher Maher, and Matthew Barber published, "Pelvic Organ Prolapse," in The Lancet. In their article, Jelovsek and colleagues provided an overview of pelvic organ prolapse in women and described the epidemiology, risk factors, symptoms, and management of the condition. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when a woman's pelvic floor is weakened or damaged from stress or trauma such as vaginal childbirth.
Organisers and Genes (1940), by Conrad Hal Waddington
Conrad Hal Waddington's Organisers and Genes, published in 1940, is a summary of available research and theoretical framework for many concepts related to tissue differentiation in the developing embryo. The book is composed of two main conceptual sections. The first section explores the action and nature of the organizer, while the second section delves into genes and their influence on development.
"Epidemiology of Surgically Managed Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence" (1997), by Ambre L. Olsen, Virginia J. Smith, John O. Bergstrom, Joyce C. Colling, and Amanda L. Clark
In 1997, physicians and researchers Ambre Olsen, Virginia Smith, John Bergstrom, Joyce Colling, and Amanda Clark published, "Epidemiology of Surgically Managed Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence," in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. In their article, the authors retrospectively analyzed data from patients who underwent surgery for pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence two years prior in 1995. Often due to a weakening of or damage to their pelvic muscles, women with pelvic organ prolapse can experience a descent of pelvic organs into the lower pelvis and vagina.
"Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) - A New Era in Pelvic Prolapse Staging" (2011), by Cristian Persu, Christopher Chapple, Victor Cauni, Stefan Gutue, and Petrisor Geavlete
In 2011, Cristian Persu, Christopher Chapple, Victor Cauni, Stefan Gutue, and Petrisor Geavlete published "Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) – A New Era in Pelvic Prolapse Staging," in the Journal of Medicine and Life. In their article, the authors explain the need for a reliable diagnostic method for describing the state of a pelvic organ prolapse, or a condition that can result from weakness or damage to the muscles that support the pelvic organs, sometimes leading to bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction.

The Origin of Species: "Chapter Thirteen: Mutual Affinities of Organic Beings: Morphology: Embryology: Rudimentary Organs" (1859), by Charles R. Darwin
Mutual Affinities of Organic Beings: Morphology: Embryology: Rudimentary Organs is the thirteenth chapter of Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species, first published in England in 1859. The book details part of Darwin's argument for the common ancestry of life and natural selection as the cause of speciation. In this chapter, Darwin summarizes the evidence for evolution by connecting observations of development in organisms to the processes of natural selection.
The Organism as a Whole: From a Physicochemical Viewpoint (1916), by Jacques Loeb
Jacques Loeb published The Organism as a Whole: From a Physicochemical Viewpoint in 1916. Loeb's goal for the book was to refute the claim that physics and chemistry were powerless to completely explain whole organisms and their seemingly goal-oriented component processes. Loeb used his new account of science and scientific explanation, marshaling evidence from his embryological researches, to show that physicochemical biology completely and correctly explained whole organisms and their component processes.
The Sex Side of Life (1919) by Mary Ware Dennett
Mary Ware Dennett, an activist in the US for birth control and sex education in the early twentieth century, wrote an educational pamphlet in 1915 called "The Sex Side of Life, and it was published in 1919. The pamphlet defined the functions of the sex organs, emphasized the role of love and pleasure in sex, and described other sexual processes of the body not usually discussed openly.
"On the Induction of Embryonic Primordia by Implantation of Organizers from Different Species" (1924), Hilde Mangold's Dissertation
Hilde Proscholdt Mangold was a doctoral student at the Zoological Institute at the University of Freiburg in Freiburg, Germany, from 1920-1923. Mangold conducted research for her dissertation 'On the Induction of Embryonic Primordia by Implantation of Organizers from Different Species' ('Ueber Induktion von Embryonanlagen durch Implantation artfremder Organisatoren'), under the guidance of Hans Spemann, a professor of zoology at the University of Freiburg.

In the spring of 1891 Driesch performed experiments using two-celled sea urchin embryos, the results of which challenged the then-accepted understanding of embryo development. Driesch showed that the cells of an early embryo, when separated, could each continue to develop into normal larval forms.
"Kangaroo Mother Care to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Low Birthweight Infants" (2016), by Agustin Conde-Agudelo and José Díaz-Rossello
In 2016, physician researchers Agustin Conde-Agudelo and José Díaz-Rossello published "Kangaroo Mother Care to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Low Birthweight Infants," in which they compared the effectiveness of Kangaroo Mother Care to that of traditional treatments for low birth weight newborns. Physicians began using Kangaroo Mother Care in the 1970s as a treatment for low birth weight infants. The treatment, which involves exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact, was created to help mothers care for low birth weight infants in developing.
The 'Kangaroo-Method' for Treating Low Birth Weight Babies in a Developing Country" (1994), by Nils Bergman and Agneta Jürisoo
In the 1994 article "The 'Kangaroo-Method' for Treating Low Birth Weight Babies in a Developing Country," authors Nils Bergman and Agneta Jürisoo evaluate the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Care method in treating low birth weight infants at Manama Mission Hospital in Gwanda, Zimbabwe. Low birth weight infants face many medical complications. In developing countries, where the prevalence of low birth weight infants is highest, there is limited access to the technology or skilled personnel required to keep those infants alive.
Butt Out for Baby (2003), by Child and Youth Health, South Australia
Butt Out for Baby was a smoking cessation intervention guide, aimed at community health workers, that the Child and Youth Health group published in 2003. The literature was released as the chief publication of the Butt Out for Baby Project, a multiple-resource smoking cessation program directed toward young parents and pregnant smokers, following the revelation of a relatively high rate of smoking among that group. The authors published the pamphlet in Adelaide, South Australia, and did not credit themselves individually.
"An Extended Family with a Dominantly Inherited Speech Disorder" (1990), by Jane A. Hurst et al.
In 1990, researcher Jane Hurst and her colleagues published "An Extended Family With a Dominantly Inherited Speech Disorder," in which they proposed that a single gene was responsible for a language disorder across three generations of a family. Affected individuals of the family, called the KE family, had difficulty producing, expressing and comprehending speech. Hurst and her team studied the KE family and the disorder at the Department of Clinical Genetics at the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, England.
"Abstinence Education: Assessing the Accuracy and Effectiveness of Federally Funded Programs" (2008), by Government Accountability Office
On 23 April 2008, the US Government Accountability Office, or GAO, released a report titled, "Abstinence Education: Assessing the Accuracy and Effectiveness of Federally Funded Programs," hereafter "Abstinence Education," in which it investigated the scientific accuracy and effectiveness of abstinence-only education programs sanctioned by individual states and the US Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS. GAO is a government agency whose role is to examine the use of public funds, evaluate federal programs and activities, and provide nonpartisan support to the US Congress.

"Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid" (1953), by James Watson and Francis Crick
In April 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick published "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure of Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid" or "A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid," in the journal Nature. In the article, Watson and Crick propose a novel structure for deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. In 1944, Oswald T. Avery and his group at Rockefeller University in New York City, New York published experimental evidence that DNA contained genes, the biological factors called genes that dictate how organisms grow and develop.

Millions of people slip and fall in the United States every single year. While most of them are quickly on their feet again, more than 8 million are sent to the emergency department.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 5 falls results in a serious injury such as broken or fractured bones. Falls are also the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries.
Nearly 20% of all falls result in a severe injury.
If you were hurt in a trip or slip and fall accident, you may have grounds for a premises liability claim. Whether or not your claim has merit depends on whether your fall was caused by another person's negligence.
Discuss your case with a slip and fall attorney.
You may feel that slipping and falling is no one's fault but your own; however, if your fall was caused by a spilled beverage, a floor that was wet after mopping, a crack in the sidewalk, a concealed hole, a staircase that lacked proper lighting, or another hazard that was caused by someone else's negligence, you can bring a claim for any damages that you incurred.
They failed to remedy the hazard or to provide adequate warning to other people.
Besides the incident report and photos of the scene, your attorney may also rely on eyewitness testimony and surveillance footage of the accident to prove liability. After demonstrating that the defendant is responsible for your damages, your lawyer will then have to prove the value of your injury-related losses such as medical bills, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
Proving liability and the value of your damages can be complicated. You should expect the insurance company and/or defendant to look for reasons to dispute your claim. To avoid a liability or damages dispute, be sure to follow the tips listed in this blog, and do not hesitate to contact a lawyer if you sustained significant damages or if you anticipate a dispute.

The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (also shortened to just Billy & Mandy) is an American animated television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network, originally part of Grim & Evil. It follows an extremely dimwitted happy-go-lucky boy named Billy and a cynical remorseless girl named Mandy who, after winning a limbo game to save Billy's pet hamster, gain the mighty Grim Reaper as their best friend in eternal servitude and slavery.
Billy & Mandy began as a series of segments on Grim & Evil, from which it was a spin-off, along with Evil Con Carne, on August 24, 2001. Although the 2003 episodes were produced for Grim & Evil, the show ran as a separate series from June 13, 2003, to November 9, 2007, on Cartoon Network. Two made-for-TV movies, Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure and Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen, aired on March 30, 2007, and July 6, 2007. A crossover special with fellow Cartoon Network series, Codename: Kids Next Door, entitled "The Grim Adventures of the KND", aired on November 11, 2007. One more made-for-TV movie, Underfist: Halloween Bash, intended to serve as a pilot for a new spin-off series, aired on October 12, 2008. During its run, the series won two Emmy Awards and one Annie Award, with nominations for one Daytime Emmy Award, three Golden Reel Awards, and two other Annie Awards. Billy & Mandy has also been made into a video game as well as various licensed merchandise.

Main article: List of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy characters
The show's main characters. From left to right: Billy, Mandy, and Grim.
The series is centered around the exploits of Billy (Richard Steven Horvitz), an idiotic and happy-go-lucky boy; Mandy (Grey DeLisle), a cynical and cold-hearted girl; and Grim (Greg Eagles), a Jamaican-accented Reaper. After Billy and Mandy cheated at a limbo match against Grim (in retaliation for putting the limbo rod too low for them to go under), he is enslaved in a permanently unwanted friendship with the children.[1] Grim is miserable in the first days of his servitude, and even fantasizes about killing them multiple times. However, as the time passes, he gradually adapts to the new life, and even grows to care for Billy and Mandy, if only somewhat. Despite this, he retains a love–hate relationship with the two and desires to eventually break free from his servitude.
Billy and Mandy use Grim's supernatural abilities and powers to venture into supernatural locations or environments, such as the Underworld, or the Netherworld, inhabited by an assortment of grotesque monstrous beasts. The pair also use Grim's enormously strong supernatural abilities or ties with a number of beastly characters to achieve goals or desires for themselves, often with twisted results. Famed fictional monsters including Dracula, the Wolfman, and the bogeyman are also comically depicted in the series.
Supporting characters include Irwin (Vanessa Marshall), a nerdy awkward boy who has a crush on Mandy; Harold (Richard Steven Horvitz), Billy's father who is even dumber than his son; Gladys (Jennifer Hale), Billy's loving yet mentally unstable mother; Mindy (Rachael MacFarlane), the snobby, stuck-up, and spoiled queen bee of Billy and Mandy's school; Sperg (Greg Eagles), the local bully who has a sensitive side; Fred Fredburger (C. H. Greenblatt), a simple-minded, irritating underworld creature who loves frozen yogurt and nachos; Dracula (Phil LaMarr), a selfish elderly vampire who is revealed to be Irwin's paternal grandfather in the final season of the show.
The show lacks continuity for the most part, as many episodes end with characters killed, exiled, or stuck in a situation. Characters sometimes display an awareness of some events from previous episodes, but there are no clear character arcs or coherent plot lines tying the show together.

The series had its genesis in 1995, when Maxwell Atoms, while he was a junior at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, made a two-minute short film for his thesis project. Titled Billy and Mandy in: The Trepanation of the Skull and You, it centers around Billy and Mandy (prototype versions) discussing trepanning with each other. In the end, Mandy drills Billy's head, causing him to pass out after too much blood loss even though he says he feels great. The short had never been shown publicly until April 30, 2016, during the first annual TromAnimation Film Festival.[2] After the screening, Atoms uploaded the film, albeit in a deteriorating state after years of storage, on his YouTube channel.
Atoms originally pitched the Billy and Mandy concept to Nickelodeon, but it was rejected by the network. The show's existence is the result of a viewer poll event by way of telephone and the Internet called Cartoon Network's Big Pick which was held from June 16 to August 25, 2000.[3] The three final choices were Grim and Evil (later splitting into two separate series: The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Evil Con Carne), Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones?, and Longhair and Doubledome.[3] Out of the three, Grim and Evil attained the most votes with 57%; Robot Jones came in second place at 23% while Longhair and Doubledome received 20% of the vote.[3][4]
Originally part of Grim & Evil, Billy & Mandy served as the main show. In each episode, an Evil Con Carne short was put between two Grim shorts.[3] On occasion, it was the other way around, with two Evil shorts and one Grim short. The series premiered on August 24, 2001, during the Cartoon Cartoon Fridays Big Pick Weekend.
Another batch of 13 half-hour episodes were produced for Grim & Evil, but on June 13, 2003, the network separated the two segments and gave each their own half-hour program. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy ran for 6 seasons, the first of which contains 18 half-hour episodes, consisting of 49 Grim & Evil shorts along with the bonus short "Five-O-Clock Shadows", while Evil Con Carne was cancelled once the already-produced season had aired. Evil Con Carne characters occasionally appear on The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. General Skarr appeared in "Skarred for Life" as Billy's new next-door neighbor.[5] In "Company Halt", the ninth episode of the final season which also functions as the true series finale for Evil Con Carne, Ghastly, Hector, Boskov, and Stomach restart their evil organization and convince Skarr to rejoin them, but their plans are ultimately foiled by Billy and Mandy, and Skarr goes back to living his life as a normal person.[6]
Common Sense Media gave the show a 3/5 star rating and stated that it has "goofy punchlines and obscure cultural references" and recommends the viewer age be at least 8 years old.[7]
The series has won one Annie Award, two Emmy Awards and has been nominated nine times for various awards.

Three TV movies were made for the series. The first one was called Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure and was released on DVD in April, 2007.[13]
A second movie, Wrath of the Spider Queen, was also released in 2007. It was based on a spider queen from Grim's distant past, who tries to take revenge on him because she was meant to be the reaper. Meanwhile, keeping up with the spider theme, Billy learns to love his spider son Jeff.[14]
On October 12, 2008, a third and final spin-off movie, titled Underfist: Halloween Bash, premiered on Cartoon Network. The movie's primary focus is on Irwin, Jeff the Spider, Hoss Delgado, General Skarr, and Fred Fredburger accidentally coming together to defeat an invasion of chocolate bar monsters, led by an evil marshmallow bunny, on Halloween night.[15]
The score composers for the series are Gregory Hinde, Drew Neumann and Guy Moon.[16][17][18] In addition, two songs were made for the show by Aurelio Voltaire, the episode "Little Rock of Horrors", which parodies the musical Little Shop of Horrors, features a song titled "BRAINS!"[19][20] and, in Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, the song "Land of the Dead" is played in the opening credits.[21] Both songs are a part of the album Spooky Songs For Creepy Kids.[19] The season two episode "Battle of the Bands" also featured the song "Darkness" by metal band SPF 1000. There was also an instance at the end of the Christmas special entitled "Billy & Mandy Save Christmas", where the end credits music is the song "Round and Round" by heavy metal band Ratt.

Due to the large number of cylindrical rollers in each of the rows, with line contact between them and the raceways, there is a minimal amount of elastic deformation in the bearing under load from any direction.
To provide maximum stiffness the rollers are calibrated during assembly so that a preload is achieved in each row once mounting is complete. Appropriate preload extends bearing service life, improves rigidity and running accuracy, while reducing noise levels.
As a result of the closely controlled preload, stiffness in any direction can be considered constant.
In cases where a heavy axial load acts on an axial-radial cylindrical roller bearing, the loaded roller set can deflect and reduce the preload on the second thrust roller set. In severe cases, the second thrust roller set can become completely unloaded, which can cause the rollers to skid and damage the raceways or subject the cage to impermissible stresses. For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Preload for the thrust roller sets and stiffness values, together with the axial unloading force, are listed in the product table. They are valid for bearings mounted properly and attachment bolts tightened to the recommended torque values (→ product table).


By the way, the person who actually did refer to "our people" was President Reuven Rivlin, who arrived a few minutes later. But why split hairs? The truth is less important when you want the world to picture a sympathetic Netanyahu standing above Ahmed's bed, as his uncle looks on and cries as he hears Dear Leader's big promises.
Perhaps someone should remind him how many bodies of Palestinians Israel is currently holding? Because Palestinians also deserve a dignified burial, and not after months of being frozen and under restrictive conditions set by the army and the police. Of course these Palestinian families, who according to military law cannot even assemble to mourn, do not appear in Netanyahu's speech.
Let's summarize: a soldier who enters Gaza in a tank in order to go to war, and his parents are eligible for a flight to New York with the prime minister. On the other hand a Palestinian who may or may not have been wielding a knife and who was shot and killed by soldiers is thrown into a freezer for months on end.
During his speech Netanyahu spoke about an imaginary Palestinian teenager named Ali. Netanyahu is very worried about what is happened to young Ali. He claims that Ali is being abused, force-fed incitement, racism, and hatred — both in his school and outside of it.
Only this week, at two in the morning, did over 10 army jeeps raid the village Bil'in in the West Bank, where they confiscated computers and telephones, barging into dozens of homes. An entire, non-imaginary village did not wake up for school. The children did not stay at home in order to learn hatred from their schoolbooks — they were busy picking up the mess the most moral soldiers in the world left when they ripped their clothing out of closets and deliberately broke their tables.
Where does Netanyahu get the gall to claim that Israel is different? Just yesterday, as Netanyahu was giving his speech, the State Comptroller published a report according to which the education system is failing to tackle racism. Where in Israel do Jews learn to love Palestinians? What system is feeding these children who, one day, may end up shooting a dying, incapacitated man in Hebron, or who may end up writing "hating Arabs is a mitzvah?" Bibi Theresa, leave your preaching of peace and love to the others.
What can I say, Netanyahu's speech gave me a craving for oranges. Jaffa oranges made a cameo in Netanyahu's speech as proof that a tiny state could turn oranges into an Israeli trademark created by European Jews who danced in circles after a long day of work. The only problem? That orange was also stolen from Palestinian fields, where they grew before the 1948 War. Those Palestinian farmers became refugees and left the orange groves behind them.
I waited for Netanyahu to mention the Mufti. It didn't happen. He didn't talk about the Holocaust, Iran came up briefly, and Hezbollah only made a cameo. What happened to Israel's token enemy?
Year after year Netanyahu chooses a different country or group to blame for their hatred, anti-Semitism, and desire to wipe out Israel. This time he went all out: everyone. The UN, the General Assembly itself, the chairs, the UN Human Rights Council, world representatives — everyone hates Israel. No one is innocent, apart from the United States. The U.S. is the Jewish people's only true friend. Everyone else is anti-Semitic, extremist, hypocritical — only America proves its loyalty time and time again. And all the weapons, planes, and missiles that we receive from Uncle Sam only prove how deep and unbreakable this love truly is.
And if that wasn't enough to cause you to tear up, Netanyahu finished off by offering his well wishes to Shimon Peres, who suffered a stroke a week ago. "I always admired his optimism," said Bibi, and all of us — in Israel and across the world — understood the hint: soon Peres will go, and all you will have left is me. Me and me alone.

Dubai Airshow: Ethiopian Air stresses trust in Boeing following fatal crash
Ethiopian Air, Boeing sign services deal for B787 model

Dubai: The head of Ethiopian Airlines reiterated on Sunday his trust in Boeing, even after a fatal crash of one of the carrier's Boeing 737 Max aeroplanes earlier this year.
Tewolde Gebremariam, chief executive officer of Ethiopian Air, said that the African carrier is still working with Boeing on upgrades to the 737 Max jets, and that he will wait to see the completion of that process before deciding on whether to take delivery of more 737 Max jets.
"Boeing is more than 100 years [old], and it's a high quality engineering company, so we have to trust it," he said. "[The 737 Max updates] are still work in progress, and we are working together, but that is not yet completed, so we will have to see."
His comments were made to reporters at the Dubai Airshow just after Ethiopian Air signed a services deal with Boeing to improve connectivity on the 787 aircraft model. Under the agreement, Boeing will upgrade the internet connectivity on board all 29 of the carrier's Boeing 787 jets. It will also provide engineering, design, and project management for the modifications, along with on-site technical assistance to Ethiopian Air.
The airline said at the signing ceremony that the deal is a "continuation of [its] long-term strategic partnership" with Boeing, and thanked the American manufacturer for providing its services.
Gebremariam said the agreement was not at all connected to the compensation provided by Boeing to Ethiopian Air for the crash of the 737 Max jet. He added that the two parties were still in discussions about the compensation, and no value has yet been determined.
Boeing had earlier said it will be compensating airlines across the world that have had to ground their 737 Max aircraft following two fatal accidents involving the model. In early March, an Ethiopian Airlines jet crashed, just months after another Boeing 737 Max jet operated by Lion Air also crashed.
