Joshua Gaunt, Bruce Bridgeman; Microsaccade directions are not correlated with cued locations in a spatial working memory task. Journal of Vision 2008;8(6):1176. doi: 10.1167/8.6.1176.
Although we know the eye moves imperceptibly during fixation, there is still debate concerning a functional role for microsaccades. We investigated this oculomotor activity in a spatial working memory task that had produced results used to argue for covert attention shifts as a rehearsal mechanism for locations of stimuli. Participants were briefly cued to one of many locations surrounding a central fixation cross, and were instructed to remember it pending onset of a probe stimulus seconds later. 2AFC responses were made indicating whether the probe was in the same location as the cue, or shifted inward toward fixation. Discrimination of large displacements was at ceiling, whereas small displacements were at floor. With the goal of affecting attention during the retention interval, another 2AFC task was imposed while participants waited for probes: Shape discrimination in one condition took place on 2/3 of trials, and color discrimination in another condition on every trial within selected blocks. These "choice" stimuli interacted with memory responses in a way not reported previously. We replicated some findings from the recent literature, such as inhibition of microsaccades after stimulus onsets, and a following "rebound" phase in which they occur at greater than baseline rates. However, we did not replicate behavioral results that would indicate the presence of covert attention shifts in the task, nor did we find directional bias of microsaccades toward cued locations during rebound phases. Moreover, the distribution of our microsaccade trajectories is anisotropic, with most of them oriented in the horizontal plane. Individual differences and strategy effects are brought to light in explaining results and suggesting future directions for inquiry. If microsaccades can signal the presence of some covert attention shifts, as it has been suggested recently, they cannot do so for all of them, or for shifts in all directions.

Canyon Inn, in Redwood City, Calif. provides joyous aspects for people of all ages.
One option at Canyon Inn is their delicious grilled cheese and crispy, thin-cut French fries.
Hidden in Redwood City, Calif. is a small restaurant called Canyon Inn. On the outside it may not look like the most extravagant restaurant, but once you enter through the heavy wooden door, you will find yourself greeted by a pleasant, welcoming atmosphere.
Canyon Inn would probably be most accurately described as a family-friendly, American restaurant. Canyon Inn serves anything from cheesy mozzarella sticks to perfectly-cooked burgers. Fortunately, if a picky younger sibling goes to Canyon Inn with the family, he or she can get a simple order of mac and cheese or French fries.
When I went to Canyon Inn this past week, I ordered a grilled cheese and French fries. I am a huge fan of Canyon Inn's French fries. I have become quite addicted to these fries and often find myself craving them, sometimes during random hours of the night.
I had never tried the grilled cheese at Canyon Inn, but I was definitely satisfied with the dish. It had cheddar and Swiss cheese that were melted to the perfect consistency on whole wheat bread.
While the food is always delicious, one of the most appealing parts of the restaurant is its atmosphere. The interior is set up with wooden booths that can seat up to six people along one of the walls. There are also bigger tables with chairs in the middle of the restaurant.
The walls of Canyon Inn are covered with photographs, magazine cutouts, and sports photos signed by local athletes.
A customer waits for his meal at Canyon Inn.
Covering the walls are old photographs of people and places, cut outs of magazines and autographed photos of baseball players or local football stars, giving the restaurant a family friendly yet nostalgic sort of vibe.
As far as the entertainment at Canyon Inn goes, there are televisions showing sports games for parents or friends to kick back and watch. Along the back wall of the restaurant are some arcade games for kids, or adults, to play while waiting for their food or for the rest of their party to finish eating.
Canyon Inn's family-friendly feel, somewhat sports-oriented theme, and affordable yet delicious food all add to the overall impression of the restaurant. I would, and do, recommend Canyon Inn to all of my friends and family.

DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG was one of four pioneers among Russian apples in America, along with Alexander, Tetofsky and Red Astrachan. All four were imported by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society around 1835. In European nurseries, the Oldenburg was propagated under the names Charlamowsky and Borowitsky. An extremely hardy variety, Oldenburgs "kept up the hope of prairie orchardists in times of great discouragement," according to The Apples of New York, Volume II, by S. A. Beach (J. B. Lyon Co., 1905).
The Duchess of Oldenburg is a stunning apple, with beautiful, yellow-and-red striped skin. Its flesh is yellowish, firm, crisp and juicy. A highly aromatic apple, it has excellent culinary qualities.
A relative of the Duchess of Oldenburg is another heirloom, Gravenstein. Beach's classic apple encyclopedia calls the Gravenstein "perhaps unexcelled by any variety of its season" for culinary purposes. Its origin is unclear, he writes, although "it is undoubtedly of similar origin with the Red Astrachan and Duchess of Oldenburg." Gravensteins, like the Oldenburg, were imported to the United States by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in the late 1820s.
A newer apple variety is also ready for picking where it is grown in New England orchards. Sansa was developed in New Zealand in 1969 and introduced in the United States in 1986. A cross between Gala and Akane, it is a red, medium large apple. Sansas are sweet apples, with a deep pink blush on a yellow skin. Its firm flesh is light green in color, and tender and juicy.
Try this moist and low-fat loaf cake that uses applesauce as a substitute for the oil (or butter or shortening). Old-fashioned oats are best to give this cake an even chewier texture and flavor. If available, try using white whole wheat flour in place of the denser whole wheat variety.
Mix early season varieties like Duchess of Oldenburg, Gravenstein, Sansa and PaulaRed to make your own applesauce. Simply quarter the apples and cook in a saucepan with cider or water until soft, and strain through a food mill. Use several apple varieties to give your sauce and cake a distinctive flavor.
Pour 1-1/4 c hot water over 1 c oats. Cover and let stand 15 minutes.
Stir in the oat mixture and 1 c raisins.
Pour into a greased and floured 8" x 8" square pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.
Beginning that evening through the weekend, the New England Apple Association and Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources will sample apples and give away recipes, brochures and other educational materials at a booth at the Sterling Fair.


– blog edition: comprised of the approx. 35+ entries posted below on 13 September 2015..
:: Three new confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) were reported in the week to 18 October, all of which were reported in Guinea. The country had reported zero cases for the previous 2 weeks. Of the 3 new cases, 1 was reported from the capital, Conakry, and 2 were reported from the subprefecture of Kaliah, Forecariah. Of note, 2 cases were not registered contacts, 1 of whom was identified after post-mortem testing of a community death. There are currently 246 contacts under follow-up in Guinea (70 of whom are high risk), and an additional 253 contacts identified during the past 42 days remain untraced. Therefore there remains a near-term risk of further cases among both registered and untraced contacts. Sierra Leone reported zero cases for a fifth consecutive week.
:: World Polio Day on 24 October is an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come in the last year and to pay tribute to the countless healthcare workers, volunteers, families, traditional and religious leaders, governments, donors, civil society organizations and partners who work tirelessly to protect children against polio. Join Rotary International and UNICEF for a live streamed global update on 23 October and for updates throughout the week from the partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative follow @Vaccines on Twitter.
:: The Independent Monitoring Board met in London in October to assess progress towards polio eradication and to make recommendations for the coming months. The report is expected to be published in the next few weeks.
:: Three new positive environmental samples were reported in the past week, two in Hilmand district of Hilmand province with collection dates of 19 and 20 September and one in Nangarhar district of Nangarhar province, collected on 21 September.
:: Mop-up campaigns are planned in October in Gulestan district of Farah using the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) and bivalent OPV with dates to be confirmed. National Immunization Days (NIDs) will take place on 1 – 3 November using trivalent OPV and Subnational Immunisation Days (SNIDs) are planned from 29 November to 1 December in the south and east of the country using bivalent OPV. Further mop up campaigns will take place in Balabuluk and Khak-E-Safed districts of Farah in November.
:: Three new environmental samples positive for WPV1 were reported in the last week. One was collected in Rawalpindi district of Punjab on 10 September, one in Quetta district of Balochistan on 20 September and one in Karachi-Gadap town, Sindh, on 22 September.
:: No new circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 1 (cVDPV1) cases have been reported in the past week. The most recent case had onset of paralysis on 7 July in the Zakarpatskaya oblast, in south-western Ukraine, bordering Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. The number of cVDPV1 cases reported in 2015 remains 2.
:: Ukraine had been at particular risk of emergence of a cVDPV, due to inadequate vaccination coverage.
:: An outbreak response has started in the last week in Ukraine with supplementary immunization activities taking place in every Oblast. The next few weeks will be critical in terms of continued political support and oversight to ensure all children are reached with the vaccines.
After an outbreak of circulating vaccine derived poliovirus was reported in Ukraine in September, a vaccination campaign using the oral polio vaccine has been launched.
A nationwide vaccination campaign with oral polio vaccine was launched today in Ukraine in response to a polio outbreak in the country. WHO applauded the decision taken by the Ministry of Health to begin the campaign, which is mandated by international guidelines as part of a comprehensive outbreak response. "With the campaign now under way, we call on health care providers and parents in Ukraine to exercise their right and responsibility to vaccinate all children in the designated age groups urgently to stop transmission of this dreaded virus," said Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe.
DAMASCUS, Syria, 18 October 2015 — A 5-day nationwide immunization campaign began today in Syria aiming to vaccinate 3 million children against polio.
The current campaign is part of a comprehensive response to the polio outbreak in October 2013. 15 mass vaccination campaigns reaching on average 2.9 million children each round have been carried out since. No new cases have been reported since January 2014.
On the heels of historic success against polio in Nigeria and across the continent of Africa, the global effort to end polio is receiving an additional US$40.4 million boost from Rotary to support immunization activities and surveillance spearheaded by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative….
… Following Nigeria's polio-free milestone, and no cases of wild polio in all of Africa in more than a year, Rotary is contributing $26.8 million to African countries to ensure the disease never returns to the continent: Burkina Faso ($1.6 million), Cameroon ($2.7 million), Chad ($2.6 million), Democratic Republic of Congo ($499,579), Equatorial Guinea ($685,000), Kenya ($750,102), Madagascar ($562,820), Mali ($1.5 million), Niger ($3 million), Nigeria ($6.9 million), Somalia ($4.9 million) and South Sudan ($1.5 million).
24 October 2015 — World Polio Day marks the milestones that have been reached in the past year towards a polio-free world, and most importantly, recognises the incredible contributions made by healthcare workers, volunteers, families, and partners. WHO and partners are marking this day by celebrating progress towards eradication and planning for what still needs to be done to achieve a polio-free world.
20 October 2015, Sana'a, Yemen – Ongoing violence and insecurity continue to limit the delivery of aid in Taiz, Yemen, where more than 3.3 million people, including 300,585 internally displaced persons, are in critical need of health assistance. WHO has provided 30 metric tonnes of medicines and medical supplies to Taiz and is distributing almost one million litres of water. It urgently needs US$ 60 million to continue life-saving response operations across the country until the end of 2015.
In an effort to accelerate timelines and decrease development costs of life-saving vaccines, the Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI) and Sanofi Pasteur today announced the establishment of the Global Health Vaccine Center of Innovation (GHVCI), to be headquartered at IDRI in Seattle. This project is funded in part by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The GHVCI represents an alliance among the three organizations, focused on accelerating the development of vaccines and associated technologies to fight a wide range of global infectious diseases, and ensuring that these critical vaccines are accessible globally, especially to people in need within developing countries.
Each partner will bring its respective world-leading expertise and technologies to the GHVCI and, collectively, the parties will collaborate with a wide range of other vaccine development organizations. Funding for the establishment, operation and growth of the GHVCI will come from Sanofi and the Gates Foundation, and additional funding will be sought to support collaborative research activities with respect to specific vaccines to be developed at the GHVCI.
…A Joint Steering Committee, comprised of representatives from each of the three partners, will mutually identify areas of research to discover, evaluate and develop novel human vaccines, as well as adjuvant/formulation platforms for the rapid response to emerging pathogens, that can prevent or treat infectious diseases.
Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of Sanofi, announced today the creation of a Global Health Vaccine Center of Innovation (GHVCI) with the Infectious Disease Research Institute (IDRI)… This project is also funded in part by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as the proposed R&D alliance is related to the Gates Foundation and Sanofi Pasteur's strategic agreement on a Vaccine Discovery Partnership signed in 2013.
…"IDRI is a partner of choice as they are a world-leader in the development and evaluation of adjuvant formulations, using a broad portfolio of adjuvants with different immune-stimulating properties," commented Jim Tartaglia, PhD, R&D VP for new vaccine projects at Sanofi Pasteur. "The Institute has a world-class staff and capabilities in immunology and GMP production".

"We were live on spotify green room yesterday afternoon. And i'm delighted what it was. It was great It's always a good time hanging out chatting austin That name was just in all caps typed in the chat for an hour People want to know what's going to happen. What do they do non-participant on wednesday. It's been revealed that it was a hamstring injury hamstring at the very last moment in time. Are you concerned. Who do you pick up. How you feel about old awesome excellent. Yeah i mean you have to be concerned This is a little bit too early for us to have great insight and great medical knowledge. I have not seen a report that specifies the greater if anything that just popped up right. This was this was Last evening we found out about it. it it. It's possible this could be nothing. He plays sunday in everything. Good but i mean that's just not what usually happens with a hamstring injury It doesn't just disappear in a second If you pull your hamstring you've gotta have rest and so at the very least right now. You need to be targeting. The backups. there is there's two guys there. I do not believe joshua. Kelly as talent So if you are going to be targeting someone. I think you should be targeting Justin jackson agree. I do justin jackson. Yes he has. He's been that guy several times for this team. I get that we have a new coaching staff. And so maybe they have a different take on. Maybe they really liked joshua kelly. But it's hard to imagine the The new regime just throwing out all the tape of justin jackson whose houston kelly does. He's more versatile. Yeah jackson is a good player. He's not better than austin but he's a very competent replacement they have dealt with so many injuries in the backfield over the last couple years and last year I was trying to remember when. I missed all that time and it was. It was a knee hamstring. Issue for him where he missed the five or six games whatever. It was so one of the reasons. I don't have muscles. I know that the that's true. The damage you can't get hurt if you have no muscle. no. I mean you see this. We've seen the flexes. What is dead may never die. Maybe stuff maybe stop flexing everything. Yeah and also we're not starts the week yet and this guy probably couldn't be too obvious but go ahead and fire up your keenan allen Could call good call. Thank you chris. Godwin left off the injury report we said yesterday. I didn't think you know godwin or brown was anything to be concerned about. You had a you know a thursday night. Game clyde edwards 'alerts practicing in full courtesy. Amiel this one is not great pulled out and pulled up during a route. He doesn't feel right. It's been a long time. It's not like curtis samuel was out there two weeks ago three weeks ago. It's been a a long time since we've seen curtis samuel in. We were talking about all. He'll be you know he knows the offense so he can just acclimate. the second. he's healthy is not healthy. Yeah and that's the issue is is it's official. I mean it's done. He is absolutely not held. Is a guy. I was high on. I talked about Just a couple of weeks ago i. I've drafted him everywhere. I've got him in our family. I've got him in a league record. I think i've got them. Oh no i got sniped in the listening loser but the reality is he's had so much time to rest and recover the fact that right when he gets back it is immediately. A problem again says that this is going to be one. He's not i. I think it's could go several weeks. I think this could be something that turns into a core muscle surgery situation He is bodied now in my rankings. And i tried to make trade offers. You know for the hopeful upside. Because you know we're not doctors we don't know maybe he is. Maybe he needs one more week of rest and gets back out there. But i am completely one hundred percent Pessimistic on the outlook of curtis samuel. So logan thomas gets a bomb longer time to end third round rookie. Diani brown i think is worth a speculative add thrown on the back of the bench. Yeah i mean jason's right which. I tend to agree that there's a chance that this lingers for a really long time into surgery when i hear doesn't quite feel right after this amount of time when you start the video like it just happened to be captured him running the route and he pulls up and you can see in his face like this is a man who knows that he's not gonna be playing. He's on a road. yeah just throwing this out there for week. One players that are not on the injury report that may have popped up during the offseason. Daryl henderson justin jefferson tyler lockett. Julio jones aj brown missed practice. But it was just rest. Dj charge marvin jones. Both playing track on smith. Adam trautmann boiling. Yeah adam trautmann was not on the injury. Football day miracle. Do you want to take away your want. Johnson drafted jam i think. Johnson's still worth a speculative ad in deeper leagues. But this is. This is incredible. news fellas. Why didn't know one share this with me earlier. We've been trying to keep it from you. Yeah clearly yet. It's been really Both producers didn't want to let you know.

Often the only time many families will rent a car is for travelling purposes. Even those who own expensive cars may find that renting a car is a better option for them. There are several reasons people rent a car for example, when going on a vacation, people prefer renting a car so they do not have to rely on public transportation. As well, for special occasions such as reunions, high school graduations, and anniversaries it is nice to rent a luxurious car or limo. Likewise, if you are moving furniture into a new house, renting a truck may cost less than paying for the delivery charges. Car rental companies such as Avis, Enterprise and National use commercials to demonstrate how their services are beneficial to the public and attract customers. Commercials are specifically designed to make the viewer attracted to purchasing their product. I believe that some advertisements are very persuasive and effective at creating desire for their rental cars. This essay will mainly focus on the comparison between Avis commercials and other car rental companies.
...his company uses their company's mission as there method of persuading and attracting others. By stating that they allow the consumer to have full control, they are establishing the customer's rights and benefits.

Q: SelectMany Linq Could anyone explain this SelectMany Syntax
List<string> animals = new List<string>() { "cat", "dog", "donkey" };
List<int> number = new List<int>() { 10, 20 };
var mix=number.SelectMany(num => animals, (n, a) => new { n, a });

I am not familiar with that syntax because I am used to use it for the purposes of flattening (to flatten a list inside list)
 public class x
 {
     public List<z> Zs{get; set;}
     public int Y { get; set; }
 }
 public class z
 {
     public int Y { get; set; }
 }
    List<x> Xs = new List<x>();
    Xs.Add(new x() { Zs = new List<z>() { new z() { Y = 15 } } });
    Xs.Add(new x() { Zs = new List<z>() { new z() { Y = 17 } } });
    Xs.Add(new x() { Zs = new List<z>() { new z() { Y = 19 } } });
    Xs.Add(new x() { Zs = new List<z>() { new z() { Y = 25 } } });
    Xs.Add(new x() { Zs = new List<z>() { new z() { Y = 50 } } });

Xs.SelectMany(x => x.Zs).Sum(z => z.Y);

A: Check the reference source from Microsoft here
Following is the SelectMany overload being utilized
        public static IEnumerable<TResult> SelectMany<TSource, TCollection, TResult>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, IEnumerable<TCollection>> collectionSelector, Func<TSource, TCollection, TResult> resultSelector)
        {
            if (source == null) throw Error.ArgumentNull("source");
            if (collectionSelector == null) throw Error.ArgumentNull("collectionSelector");
            if (resultSelector == null) throw Error.ArgumentNull("resultSelector");
            return SelectManyIterator<TSource, TCollection, TResult>(source, collectionSelector, resultSelector);
        }

        static IEnumerable<TResult> SelectManyIterator<TSource, TCollection, TResult>(IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, IEnumerable<TCollection>> collectionSelector, Func<TSource, TCollection, TResult> resultSelector)
        {
            foreach (TSource element in source)
            {
                foreach (TCollection subElement in collectionSelector(element))
                {
                    yield return resultSelector(element, subElement);
                }
            }
        }

How its working (this is also form of data flattening)

*

*Similar to a concentric for / foreach loops, traversing trough two collections and creating a combined list, which has the complexity of O(N^2)

*First we supply the number list as the IEnumerable<TSource>

*Add a Func, where for each number we supply the animal list

*Finally just get the result as the combined anonymous collection, where for each number an animal is added and thus the result is like
  n    a

  10   cat
  10   dog
  10   donkey
  20   cat
  20   dog
  20   donkey

New treatment helps Charles keep his chronic nosebleeds in check
Charles Horowitz, diagnosed with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, has suffered for years from chronic nosebleeds.
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic condition that affects blood vessels throughout the body—including the lungs, liver and brain. But it also causes chronic nosebleeds, which are sometimes so severe that patients faint or require blood transfusions.
August 12, 2015 | By Staff Writer
For years, Charles Horowitz lived with a roll of paper towels nearby, ready for the moment his nose started to bleed uncontrollably.
Horowitz has a condition called hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), which is found in one in 5,000 people. While the genetic disorder affects blood vessels throughout the body—including the lungs, liver and brain—its universal symptom is chronic nosebleeds, which are sometimes so severe that patients faint or require blood transfusions.
"People with HHT have learned to live with it, but there is always a risk that it will mess up our daily lives. It ranges from annoying to quite dangerous and you never know what to expect," said Horowitz. "You won't find many people in the HHT community wearing white shirts—because nosebleeds will show up too easily."
Traditionally, doctors treated the condition by cauterizing problematic blood vessels, and packing gauze into at patient's nostrils. Unfortunately, the process was painful, and temporary. The nosebleeds would often recur after the procedure.
University of Minnesota Health Otolaryngologist Holly Boyer, MD, wanted to find a better treatment. To do so, she modified a technique called sclerotherapy, which is commonly used to treat varicose veins and other internal bleeding.
During a sclerotherapy session, Boyer injects small amounts of solution into carefully selected blood vessels within the nose. The solution collapses the vessels, which forces blood to reroute through healthy veins. The process reduces bleeding. Eventually, the collapsed vessels disappear.
"This treatment has been around for years, but we were able to leverage existing sclerotherapy research and apply it to a new set of patients," Boyer said. "This treatment has great results, and patients can visit the clinic and leave the same day with little pain."
It's not a cure, but sclerotherapy research published in the International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology showed major improvements in controlling bleeding. Instead of routine visits, patients may only see Dr. Boyer once per year for the outpatient visit. In some cases, people can go longer than a year before returning for the treatment. Boyer has even started teaching the technique to other physicians from around the globe.
Sclerotherapy helped Horowitz when nothing else would. Horowitz, who is also a doctor, was at times forced to cancel his patients' appointments when his nose would bleed profusely. On a flight home from Milwaukee, he once passed out, forcing the pilot into an emergency landing. After seeing multiple specialists, he was eventually referred to Boyer for her pioneering treatment.

Since his first appointment, Horowitz has kept his bleeding nose in check. The paper towel roll he once kept near him is no longer a daily necessity and his quality of life has improved. He's grateful to have found Boyer, whom he sees just four times per year.
"Dr. Boyer's not one to boast about how her treatment is helping the HHT community," he said. "But this is a major advancement for patients. If people have severe HHT, this could be life changing."

Q: Submit with enter key Is there an idiomatic way for me trigger my formlet's submit action when a keydown event is pressed?
Should I drop back down to DOM manipulation, or is there some Enhancement that I can use?

A: Unfortunately, at the moment there is no standard way to do this. We do intend to add it in a future version though, either as an Enhance combinator or as a new option to Enhance.WithCustomSubmit*.
We actually encountered the same problem when creating FPish, and we use the following workaround:
[<JavaScript>]
let TriggerOnEnter (formlet : Formlet<'T>) =
    formlet
    |> Formlet.MapElement (fun elem ->
        let e = JQuery.JQuery.Of(elem.Body)
        e.Keypress(fun _ k ->
            // Opera uses charCode
            if k?keyCode = 13 || k?charCode = 13 then
                JavaScript.SetTimeout (fun _ ->
                    e.Find("input[type=button]").Trigger("click").Ignore
                ) 100 |> ignore
            k.StopPropagation()
        ).Ignore
        elem
    )

Note that it triggers the first button in the form, so you might need adjustments to the jQuery selector to make it actually trigger the submit button.

Five progressive freshmen to watch in NC's 2019 legislative session
By Clayton Henkel
The 2019 North Carolina General Assembly gavels in at noon today with an organizational session. Here are five progressive members of the freshman class worth watching:
Representative Allison A. Dahle
Represents: Wake County (District 11)
From her website: I am a proud supporter of the #MeToo movement. I believe the courageous women who have come forward to share their stories about a critical problem that has permeated all aspects of society. To combat and eradicate this abusive behavior, we need to change not only our laws and office policies, but also our culture. We need to get past the idea of "No means no" to "Yes means yes" and make affirmative consent the norm. We must also reform the process for reporting harassment in the General Assembly so that nobody falls through the cracks.
Other items of note: Dahle ousted incumbent Rep. Duane Hall in the May primary following allegations of sexual harassment.
Representative Zack Hawkins
Represents: Durham County (District 31)
From his website: Healthy people are working people. Working people contribute to and invest in NC.
Every North Carolinian should have access to high-quality health care, no matter where you live.
Expand Medicaid to more than 500,000 North Carolinians. Now.
Proactively and retroactively address public health crises and epidemics facing our state.
True economic development. Prepare today's workforce for the jobs of the future.
Other items of note: Rep. "Mickey" Michaux, who served 19 terms in the House before announcing his retirement, endorsed Hawkins as his replacement.
Representative Rachel Hunt
Represents: Mecklenburg County (District 103)
From her website: When my father left office in 2001, North Carolina was at the national average in terms of teacher pay. SInce 2000, we have slowly slipped into the bottom fourth. Our children deserve better! In order to recruit and keep the best teachers – we need to treat them like the professionals they are and pay them accordingly. In addition, we must restore teacher assistant positions so that our teachers can focus on our kids on not paperwork.
Other items of note: The daughter of former Governor Jim Hunt bested incumbent GOP Rep. Bill Brawley by just 68 votes. On the eve of the session, the conservative NC Values Coalition attempted to throw a wrench into the works urging that Hunt not be seated. [Update: The House Rules Chairman found no standing to the coalition's claim and Rep. Hunt was indeed seated Wednesday.]
Representative Julie von Haefen
Representing: Wake County (District 36)
From her website: As a long time public school advocate and PTA leader, I know that every child deserves a world class education, right here in North Carolina. From pre-K through high school, education should be free to students and well-funded by the state. For our state to compete economically and for all individuals to live fulfilled lives, a quality education is crucial.
Our state government needs to restore the respect of our teachers and administrators, respect that has been damaged under the current leadership in our General Assembly. We need to increase teacher pay, restore pay scales that reward teachers for advanced degrees and experience and end pay incentives based on test scores. We also need to support ALL students through increased per pupil spending and investment in their school buildings.
Other items of note: von Haefen defeated longtime GOP budget writer Rep. Nelson Dollar to win her seat.
Senator Mujtaba A. Mohammed
Represents: Mecklenbug County (District 38)
From his website: A longtime Charlotte resident, he was born in the United States to two hardworking immigrant parents from India. Mohammed served as a former staff attorney at the Council for Children's Rights and Assistant Public Defender in Charlotte.
Other items of note: Mohammed ousted incumbent Sen. Joel Ford in the May primary. He joins Indian American state Senator Jay Chaudhuri in the NC Senate. He also holds the distinction of being the youngest member in that chamber.

Recent Discovery of Exploding Ants of Borneo which Defy the Imagination. These newly discovered species of ant from Borneo, called the 'Exploding Ants', can actually tear their own body apart to protect their colony.
Most people who have ants in their homes know what a nuisance they can be. These are annoying pests that eat up and swarm on anything that contains the least amount of nutrients.
Yet, how would you feel if these ants started to explode?
It would be the grossest of acts. A species of Southeast Asian ants which live on trees are renowned for just this terrifying tendency.
There are several subspecies within the group but they all have one common habit: when threatened, their abdomens rupture and out comes a sticky, slimy substance that is truly toxic.
While this bad habit kills the ants right away, it also happens to harm the living entity attacking them. Ants are social insects. This process is called "autothysis" which translates to a form of self-sacrifice.
Although when this species was originally discovered in 1935, it was thought to be unique in the insect kingdom. Yet now we know better. Recently, over a dozen different subspecies have been discovered and they all share this self-exploding habit.
One of them which was found in Borneo recently is in particular very explicit in its self-explosive tendencies. Its sticky yellow slime spreads far and wide when its abdomen bursts all of a sudden.
Ants tend to be an intelligent species that are organized and also cater to their wounded comrades. They are a pest as well and infest homes. It is difficult to get rid of them once they find a way into your residence.
It is a relief for people that most ants do not explode like this recently discovered variety of exploding ants. These self-detonating ants clasp onto the fronts of creatures bigger than themselves. Then the exploding ants manage to release a spray of yellow toxic slime which oftentimes vanquishes these creatures.
The details about exploding ants are revealed in a paper that got published in the journal ZooKeys.

Sonnets Essay, Research Paper
Sonnets: An Insight into Shakespeare's Mind?
During Elizabethan times, 1550-1625, a great writer's explosive way of writing brought forth-new life to poetry. This outstanding poet, author and playwright, was William Shakespeare. Shakespeare wrote fourteen-line poems called sonnets. Although Shakespeare is known for his masterpiece plays, his sonnets are also worthy of this credit. These autobiographical sonnets are tales of love, deception, and betrayal. Although it is presumable that Shakespeare did write these sonnets about his own life, some experts are still puzzled by the possibilities. It seems as though Shakespeare poured his whole self into the sonnets. However, the idea of the sonnets being fictional comes few and far between. If one man can so exquisitely write fictional stories about love and still include a controversial issue in them, then where do we draw the line between fact and fiction? On account of much research, I have found that the belief of the majority of experts I reviewed was that the sonnets are most likely to be autobiographical. Some evidence shows this theory may be true. Therefore, Shakespeare, according to many experts, used his real life affair with a man and a woman in his sonnets. His recreations of pain, joy, and sorrow help to add to the drama of the sonnets. Also, Shakespeare has shown the possibility of writing to a distinct person. Many experts ponder the question of whom. Although they have narrowed down the group of possible candidate many agree on one specific in each category.
As the Black Death was making its voyage from Sicily to conquer the European countries, an eager Shakespeare might have been contemplating whether or not to write a comedy or a drama. However, as soon as the plague did reach Europe, theaters closed and there was nowhere for Shakespeare?s plays to be performed. This posed a problem for the young author. Shakespeare had to somehow exert his ability to another area of writing. What better way to fulfill his urge than to write sonnets? The sonnet was being used as a common way for expressing one's love for another. Shakespeare thought of this common way of writing as an outlet to do just what everyone else was doing. He would express his innermost thoughts and feelings to the people he loved.
The sonnet is a fourteen line lyrical poem written in iambic pentameter, a meter in which five accents are placed on the stressed and unstressed syllables in each line. English poets were eager to find some way to make their sonnet better so "when sixteenth century English poets discovered the Italian sonnet, they decided to alter the rhyme scheme to a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g" (Rozakis 354). Shakespeare used this discovered form in his sonnets. The concluding lines of the poem resolve the problem discussed in the above twelve lines of the sonnet. After Shakespeare?s death the English sonnet that he so profoundly popularized was renamed the Shakespearean Sonnet (Rozakis355).
After researching the grouping of the sonnets there is still much controversy about Thomas Thorpe's arrangement. Many of the experts doubt the accuracy of the order in which they are found today. The sonnets are currently found in an order called Thorpe Quarto. This order seems practical and does not pose any unanswered questions. ?Thorpe?s arrangement groups the Sonnets by whom he is supposedly writing to. Then they are numbered for practicality since no titles were provided?(Wilson). However, researchers find that this arrangement was just a guess on Thorpe's part and was not grouped by the poet himself. Nevertheless, when the sonnets are re-arranged they have no order or sense to them. Thorpe's arrangement also gave experts the ability to look at the sonnets in a way in which you could take the individuals addressed and say that there are two distinct groups.
The first group of sonnets, which run from sonnets one to one hundred twenty six, address two people of the male gender. Sonnets one hundred twenty seven to one hundred fifty six have a distinct person as to whom he is speaking, he addresses a "dark lady" who is supposedly seductive and sexy ("The Sonnets"1). This group of sonnets has been the contradicting side of many experts' theories. Sonnets one hundred fifty three and one hundred and fifty four are unusually unrelated to the two groupings. They relate to a Greek poem about Cupid and his torch ("The Sonnets"1). The first group then can be split into two smaller sub-groups. Sonnets one to seventeen tell how Shakespeare wants to marry and have children ("The Sonnets"1). In addition to the sonnets about a young man, sonnets seventy-eight to eighty-six are about a "Rival Poet, " who experts say "temporarily wins the favor and presumably, patronage, of the friend? ("The Sonnets"1).
The First Group is entitled by Thomas Thorpe is "The Friend,". Shakespeare was said to have a love for the boy written about. This statement brings up the question of homosexuality or bisexuality on the part of William Shakespeare. On the contrary, ?Shakespeare also said that his love for the boy was purely spiritual?? (Wilson). Shakespeare says in his sonnets that he "wants to marry and have children of his own, but only with a woman" (Martin). The controversial identity of Shakespeare's male lover has perplexed many experts. Yet, written on the inside cover of the 1609 edition of the sonnets is the following dedication, "To The Onlie Begetter Of These Insving Sonnets Mr. W.H. All Happinesse And That Eternitie Promised By Our Ever-Living Poet Wisheth The Well- Wishing Adventurer In Setting Forth" (Wilson). Mr. W.H brings the idea of a man with the initials W.H., such as William Herbert. ("The Sonnets" 2). William Herbert was the Third Earl of Pembroke. His candidacy seems most appropriate because of his thoughts on marriage. However Herbert was only thirteen in 1593, the year that many scholars would date the sonnets. ("The Sonnets" 2). This age difference suggests that his being the object of Shakespeare's spiritual love would be simply ridiculous (Martin). Because of this factor the reversal of the initials was brought to mind. Perhaps Shakespeare did not want readers to know the identity of his male friend. This could be true, however, scholars investigated the possibilities and one name came up in many instances. Henry Wriothesley was The Earl of Southampton. He being twenty in 1593 further supported the theory of the reversal of the initials. This is the basis of many experts' theoretical views on his sexuality. Was Shakespeare in love with this boy or was his "spiritual love" actually what it meant ? spiritual.
Shakespeare also wrote in the sonnets about yet another man. This man was said to be ma man of good stature. "?The so-called 'Rival Poet' who appears importantly in Sonnets seventy-eight to eighty-six," was said to have stolen the young man away from Shakespeare. The candidacy for this character runs with an outstanding agreement upon a George Chapman, who was never the friend of Wriothesley or Herbert. This posed questions of the relation of the "Rival Poet" to the young man. Shakespeare perceived the rival poet to be learned, possibly a university graduate. Shakespeare thought of this as a threat and presumably turned out as one (Wilson).
The Dark Lady is the second grouping of the sonnets. The Dark Lady series begins with Sonnet number one hundred twenty seven and addresses a distinct character. This "Dark Lady" is presumably beautiful and has dark features. She has dark hair, dark eyes, and dark skin. This may possibly be because of their deep sexual love. His thought about the woman were said to be sexual because he believed that, "a man's sexual parts belonged only to a woman,"(Wilson). The spiritual sonnets about his lover twist to a sexy, tempestuous tales of paradoxical love ("The Sonnets"4). Shakespeare did not use direct sexual statements in his sonnets he concealed them with puns and sexual allusions ("The Sonnets"4). The numerous candidates for this role have left many scholars in a puzzling disposition about the ongoing names have been narrowed down to a bantam amount. Mary Fittton, Emilia Lanier, Lucy Morgan, Penelope Rich, and William Davenant's mother are the most qualified people in the category. Now much evidence is provided on this subject area but the women have fit Shakespeare's detailed descriptions of her. However, Many scholars dispute the accuracy of the names.
In conclusion, it is my belief that the sonnets are arranged in a way that addresses particular people and that the Sonnets reflect his true life and are possibly autobiographical. Although the opinions of experts and scholars are varied the researching that I have done has given me the ability to make the appropriation that my statement is true. Shakespeare's self image is often doubted and yet his character as an author is not. There has to be some basis of this opinion. The Sonnets provide this foundation for thought. "Wordsworth believed that Shakespeare unlocked his heart in the Sonnets,"("The Sonnets"1) If this quote proves true then all the more Shakespeare he!

We offer a plurilingual education, for which we have opened a language academy. All our classes are dynamic and pleasant and are imparted by qualified native teachers, in reduced groups of 5 people minimum and maximum 15. They are all comprised of evaluations and quarterly follow-ups.
Learning a foreign language is very similar to acquiring the mother tongue. The child comes into contact with a simple, natural language, which won't be limited to a few words with a specific vocabulary, but rather it will become a tool with which they can access the reality that surrounds them.
By studying English from such a young age, we intend for their acquisition to be done in a playful, exciting manner; children who have this contact with a foreign language in Infantile Education will develop, with minimal effort, a set of aptitudes and capacities (mostly auditive and pronunciation comprehension) which will help them throughout their student years.
In the children's courses different activities are performed for a complete acquisition of a second language, developing the four skills in an integrated manner. The alumni work in reduced groups, giving them the opportunity of receiving individualised attention and active participation in class.
At the end of the course they will have the option of taking an examination which corresponds to their English level according to their course. There are three levels for English tests for Cambridge children: STARTERS, MOVERS y FLYERS.
Our objective is to make the learning experience of English an active process. The English courses for adults are designed for students of all levels from the very advanced CPE to the elemental KET level.
At the end of the course they will have the option of taking an examination which corresponds to their English level according to their course: CPE (C2), CAE (C1), FCE (B2), PET (B1), KET (A2).

The 80s reimagined with robots.
Stalenhag is my favorite artist, just the way he creates a world with just art is amazing. I want to know if anyone else here likes his art. And if you've never heard of him, take a look.
Oh yeah, I went through his galleries some time back, when the focus was more on 80's vans and flying ships.
It's definitely very cool stuff. The latest pictures there are great, but they really make me want to know what exactly is gong on in this world.
He wrote a book a while ago explaining his world, but it kinda ruined my perception of it.

Roof replacement is extremely important in protecting your home from the elements. A leaking roof will easily cause thousands of dollars in damage if it is not corrected quickly. However, leaks are not the only symptoms that may cause you to need to replace your roof. You should also be aware of large changes in your heating and cooling bills. The roof keeps warm air in the winter and keeps it out in the summer. A damaged roof can mean huge utility bills and a compromise in the energy efficiency of your home.
Installing a new roof system for your home is one of the most important investments you can make as a homeowner. You deserve a roof that you can rely on. DA Roofing specializes in residential roofing applications and it is our mission to ensure that the roof you choose is perfect for your home and your budget.

Is your roof leaking? Maybe some shingles or flashing have blown off? Perhaps the damage is more serious such as sagging in your roof or damage from a fallen branch or tree? No matter the need, the roof experts at DA Roofing can help.
It is essential to have regular repairs conducted on your roof. Even minor deterioration can be a big problem when water is involved. Water can seep into the ceiling and walls through even the smallest holes in a roof, causing structural damage and creating the perfect environment for mold and mildew. DA Roofing specializes in keeping roofs in great condition through quality service and expert craftsmanship. If your home is in need of roof repairs, call the experienced roofers at DA Roofing today.
A new roof usually represents a very sizable investment. Is this protected? DA Roofing can help answer that question. At DA Roofing, we realize the importance of regularly scheduled roof maintenance. We also realize that some manufactures warranties require yearly inspections to maintain the warranties. A regular roof inspection may not be on your mind, but during its lifetime, even the best residential roof is subject to wear and tear.
There is not much you can do to protect your roof, that is why we recommend a yearly roof inspection and maintenance. A simple inspection can save you thousands in potential damage by extending the life of your roof, identifying, and repairing minor roof problems before they become emergencies.
If your roof is damaged or leaking it will require immediate attention so that you have an opportunity to prevent more expensive problems in the future. Regular roof inspections by our residential roofing professionals will help to prevent avoidable issues. Our roof inspection specialists at DA Roofing will perform a comprehensive roof inspection that will determine the condition of your roof.

Q: Twitter pixel activating multiple times - error with pixel helper or page? I am seeing an issue alerted from my Twitter pixel helper extension that website tags are activating multiple times on a web page, but I can't work out why.
I am not a developer - I work in social media - but installing the odd tracking code is part of my role. I have taken out the actual codes in the below script.
If anyone else has experience this I would be interested to hear about their solutions! Thanks!
<!-- Twitter conversion tracking base code -->
<script>
!function(e,t,n,s,u,a){e.twq||(s=e.twq=function(){s.exe?s.exe.apply(s,arguments):s.queue.push(arguments);
},s.version='1.1',s.queue=[],u=t.createElement(n),u.async=!0,u.src='https://static.ads-twitter.com/uwt.js',
a=t.getElementsByTagName(n)[0],a.parentNode.insertBefore(u,a))}(window,document,'script');
twq('config','BASECODE');
</script>
<!-- End Twitter conversion tracking base code -->
<!-- Twitter conversion tracking event code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  // Insert Twitter Event ID
  twq('event', 'BASECODE+EVENT', {
  });
</script>
<!-- End Twitter conversion tracking event code -->
<!-- Twitter conversion tracking event code -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  // Insert Twitter Event ID
  twq('event', 'BASECODE+EVENT', {
  });
</script>
<!-- End Twitter conversion tracking event code -->

We aren't running ads at the moment so it's hard to test, but have had issues in the past with leads not being recorded when I had the event and base codes bundled together (ie all codes were in the same parameter). As an alternative I have separated them out - as above. But the Pixel code error remains the same.

How to make an Apple Music playlist in iTunes or on iOS
Because creating a playlist from scratch actually isn't as easy as it should be.
By Caitlin McGarry
Staff Writer, Macworld |
The Macworld staff is still on the fence about Apple Music. Some of us are really into the recommended playlists—which are sometimes eerily relevant—while others are still dealing with the aftermath of enabling iCloud Music Library. But even fans of the streaming service have noticed that making a playlist is nowhere near as simple as it could be. If you're looking for a quick guide to creating and adding to an Apple Music playlist on iOS or iTunes, we've got you covered. (Don't want to play tech support for your new-to-streaming friends and family members? Send them our way.)
Tap the tiny "New" option beneath "All Playlists" to create a new playlist.
To create a new playlist on your iPhone or iPad, tap the "My Music" tab on the bottom menu bar, and then the Playlist tab near the top of the screen. That will show your recently added playlists on top, and all of your playlists below. Under "All Playlists," tap "New." The font is tiny, so check out the screenshot to the right for a visual.
Name your playlist and customize it with a photo and a description. Then tap Done. If you try to add songs to a playlist before you're done creating the playlist, you won't be able to. Save yourself some frustration. (And forget about trying to add a song to a playlist you're creating on the fly, like you can with Spotify's app.)
Did you tap Done yet? OK, stay in your playlist and tap Edit, then Add Songs. Apple lets you create playlists from music you own as well as its streaming catalog, which is one of the service's big selling points—rivals like Spotify and Rdio don't do that. To add songs to a playlist from music in your library, you can use the search bar (just make sure you toggle over to My Music instead of searching all of Apple Music), or comb through your collection manually. Tap the + sign next to any of the song or album titles from your collection to add it to a playlist. Apple Music doesn't give an obvious confirmation that a song has been added, just a tiny notification at the top of your screen, but don't keep tapping that + sign—you'll find you just added the same song 10 times. (I may or may not be speaking from personal experience.)
You can search your music library by keyword or scour it manually, but either way, don't tap that + more than once to add a song to your playlist.
To comb through Apple Music's catalog, tap Apple Music and enter the song, artist name, or album title you're looking for. Once you find the tune you want to add, tap the ellipsis, or the three dots to the right of the song title. That will bring up a new menu of options like Play Next, Add to My Music, and Make Available Offline. At the bottom of the menu is Add to a Playlist. Tap that, then pick which playlist you want to add it to. You can keep hunting for songs and add them to your playlist, or you can stop and tap Done to wrap it up for the time being.
If you want to add songs to that playlist down the line, just tap the ellipsis next any song title to bring up the menu—Add to a Playlist is always at the bottom.
"Add to a playlist" is always the last option when you tap the three dots for more options.
In iTunes
We all know the way iTunes organizes and displays your music library is best described as a "hot mess," and Apple Music only made that more complicated. To make a new playlist, click on Playlists on your top menu bar. Then click the + at the lower lefthand corner beneath your list of playlists. Name your playlist and add a photo and description if you want. From here you can drag and drop songs from your Apple Music library—both songs you own and songs you've added to your Apple Music catalog—into the playlist, which is much easier than the rampant use of the three-dot menu in the iOS version of the app.

You can drag and drop tracks from your Apple Music library into a playlist if they're already saved.
But to add songs to a playlist that aren't in your Apple Music library, you'll have to use the search bar. And unlike Spotify, which lets you drag and drop song titles from the search bar into a playlist, Apple Music rips you out of your playlist and throws you into a page of search results, where you have to use the ellipsis (yes, it strikes again) to add the song you want to your playlist.
The three dots strike again in Apple Music's search results. You have to click the ellipsis to add a song to a playlist.
This is where it gets a little strange. Sometimes Apple Music will let me add a song to a playlist immediately when I open the menu behind the ellipsis. "Add to" will be an option right away. But other times, it forces me to add the song to My Music before it will show me the "Add to" option, which means I have to click two extra times to add a song. It's a mild annoyance, but still not the seamless user experience that Apple could offer here.
The fact that it takes so many steps to add music to playlists in Apple Music sums up one of the service's biggest problems: It is too complex, and buries what should be its most basic features behind layers of options. If Apple can't simplify Apple Music, it will lose subscribers to services that aren't trying to do it all.

A trending alternative to freestanding furniture, built-ins add desirable decor elements and function to a home. We design and install custom built-in features for homeowners throughout the Ocean County area that bring visual allure, added storage and interesting focal points to a space.
Built-ins are loved for their aesthetic, blending well with any décor and giving a room balance. Alternatively, free-standing furniture can often be bulky and challenging to fit into certain space layouts with other furniture. Installing custom built-ins allows a homeowner to fit unique dimensions and conform with any style of a room seamlessly.
Most homeowners could use more storage and built-ins are a terrific solution to that ongoing challenge. Custom designed to encompass an entire wall or section of a room without the bulk of a free-standing storage unit, built-ins will offer open shelves, closed cabinetry or decorative drawers that will do an excellent job at keeping a homeowners' belongings tidy and out of sight.
Free-standing furniture brings unwanted attention to certain areas of a room; therefore, detracting from an intended focal point. However, built-ins are a statement piece themselves, sleek in design and able to work in conjunction with any focal point. The right built-in will house a TV, encase a fireplace, showcase a piece of art and bring a spotlight to any other area of interest within the space.
It's typical to buy freestanding hutches and armoires for displaying antiques or storing belongings and garments. However, they can be bulky or throw a room off balance. That's why built-ins have become a huge trend. By installing dressing room shelving that configures to the space of a closet or bedroom or constructing cabinets and countertops that frame the washer and dryer, homeowners create function with a blended aesthetic.
Recessed built-ins require a little more work and planning, but they make a massive impact on function and are the perfect solution for small spaces. Homeowners can turn an awkward alcove in the kitchen into a cozy breakfast nook, create a perfectly snug workspace by installing a desk with attached shelving into the recess of the wall and even build bunk beds into the wall for a growing family!
Additional seating is easily created with custom built-ins that serve a dual purpose for storage! Customized window built-in benches add value to any room and large families really take advantage of mudroom seating combined with cubbies, hooks and storage cubes!
A client from Wall Township wanted to update their living room and add more functionality to the space. In the corner of the room they had a TV on a basic entertainment system that was encroaching on the fireplace, which caused the room to look off balance without a true focal point. The family wanted to bring better balance to the room, while also allowing for storage space for gaming systems, surround sound receiver and other media players.
Our team consulted with the family and suggested we mount the TV over the fireplace to create symmetry, eliminating the need for the bulky, out-of-place entertainment system. We then needed to tackle the storage challenge with a custom built-in that encased the TV and fireplace and provided shelving and cabinetry. We designed, fabricated and installed traditional white cabinets and shelves. Continuous crown molding added visual appeal and the TV was attached to a pulldown wall mount for comfortable viewing throughout the space. With fresh paint on the walls, LED recessed lights installed in the ceiling and added low voltage wiring for the media systems, this family was ready to enjoy their new family entertainment space.
If you're interested in creating custom built-ins for your home, call our team for a free consultation!

Busted – Live at Sheffield Arena
Twelve years on from their last visit, Busted returned to Sheffield with an unforgettable, hit-packed show on the fifth night of the massive UK reunion tour.
The aptly-named 'Pigs Can Fly Tour', named as such because until recently the likelihood of another Busted tour had been compared to pigs flying, had kicked off at Wembley Arena just under a week ago and having travelled via Glasgow and Newcastle, the Busted circus finally rolled into the steel city on Tuesday.
Fans of all ages flocked to the arena ready to re-live their youths with songs such as 'Year 3000' and 'What I Go To School For'. But before they could do that, they were warmed up by two excellent support acts.
First up was Emma Blackery, whose four-song set included the title track of her upcoming EP 'Sucks To Be You', before American alternative six-piece 'Wheatus' got the audience's voices warmed up in style with a singalong to their hit track 'Teenage Dirtbag'.
However, there were only three people the thousands in attendance really wanted to see and, after a dramatic build-up on the screens, James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis popped up through the stage and received one of the biggest cheers the arena can have ever witnessed.
Newly-released 'Coming Home' kicked things off before the crowd burst into life with the performance of 'Air Hostess' – the first of nine top-three singles performed by Busted throughout the evening,
The stage setup itself was impressive, with huge lighting and big screens surrounding the 'Pigsty' where some lucky fans were able to watch the show from the back of the stage. There was also a ramp encircling the 'OMFG zone', which housed fans wanting to get a little closer to the action, and the band made use of every inch of the stage – heading down the ramp early on for a couple of tracks including 'Falling For You' before returning back to the main stage for the likes of 'You Said No' and 'Dawson's Geek'.
But one stage just wasn't enough for Busted who, after a short interlude, were transported in crates through the arena to the 'B stage' in the centre of the venue. With James at the piano, the band performed number one single 'Who's David?', 'Meet You There' – which they re-recorded at Abbey Road Studios shortly after reforming, as well as treating the crowd to a glimpse of the future with new track 'Easy'.
The new album, expected for release in the Autumn, was again teased with 'One of a Kind', featuring James on his now-beloved keytar, once the band were welcomed back to the main stage by a thunderous solo from their touring drummer and YouTube star 'Cobus'.
'Sleeping With The Light On' provided a highlight of the evening as the whole arena was lit up solely by the crowd. And as the night entered it's second half, the hits came with more and more regularity – the likes of 'Thunderbirds Are Go', 'Crashed The Wedding' and 'What I Go To School For' among those performed before the band headed off stage.
But they weren't quite finished with the adoring crowd yet and quickly returned for their encore, which began with '3am' before the trio closed this memorable show on the perfect high with probably their most popular song, 'Year 3000'.
It was a triumphant return to Sheffield for Busted and those in attendance will now just be hoping that it isn't another twelve years before they're back!
Emma Blackery: Sucks To Be You // Perfect // Look What You Made Me Do // Let Me Be
Wheatus: A Little Respect // Fourteen // Lemonade // Leroy // Only You // Teenage Dirtbag
Busted: Coming Home // Air Hostess // Falling For You // Everything I Knew // You Said No // That Thing You Do // Dawson's Geek // Who's David // Easy // Meet You There // One Of A Kind // Thunderbirds Are Go // Sleeping With The Light On // Why // Crashed The Wedding // What I Go To School For // 3AM // Year 3000
