Think of spiders and your imagination can really scare you. Great hairy things with long legs rushing at people like they do in the movies.
Most spiders are much smaller and don't look really scary. Some of them do bite though. Sometimes they can make someone feel quite ill although this rarely happens.
Since the use of anti-venom (something which stops the poison from working to make you sick) only one person in Australia has died of a spider bite in nearly 40 years (a red back spider bite).
"Everywhere in the world has something 'bitey' living there. Learn about your local 'dangerous beasties' and how to deal with them. That's a good way to keep yourself safe."
If you'd like to know more about spiders then look at this sitehttp://australianmuseum.net.au/spiders/
Look at the Spiders in history section to find out why King David, Yorimoto (a Japanese warrior), Robert the Bruce (a Scottish warrior) and the prophet Mohammad all had good reasons to be grateful to spiders.
We've provided this information to help you to understand important things about staying healthy and happy. However, if you feel sick or unhappy, it is important to tell your mum or dad, a teacher or another grown-up.

Atlas Rules Resources Adventures Stories FAQ Search Links
City of Telsadunby Alex Benson
Telsadun is just south of the Randel Line and slightly inland from the coastal city of Dmireton. It has a population of 2,400. Telsadun acts as the Rest and Recreation area for the Randel Armed Forces. The city is a decadent place. It caters to any and all whims of a body of men and women on leave. The flesh businesses primarily cater towards the male aspect with its dancing girls. Most female visitors find companionship with their male comrades.
All manners of vices and pleasures are available for the soldiers. Regulations are slight. However, three regiments of Dyurkan troops are kept on hand to take care of maintaining the peace. Patrols of Dyurkan troops maintain a visible presence in the city. The Dyurkans are the only feasible troops in Randel for the task as they are less likely to be swayed by the vices the city offers. In the past, locals as well as mercenaries have been tried. However, these troops were found unsatisfactory as they often were distracted by the attractions and vices.
Also on the common streets are a various assortment of entertainers and vendors. Each will approach visitors and try to sale their wares or entertainments. Entertainers and vendors are pretty much considered to be a nuisance, little more than beggars. Dyurkan troops are constantly looking to harass those that are too persistent in hawking their wares and talents.
There are actually two portions to the city. The largest section is the downtown section, which covers the businesses. This encompasses roughly seventy five percent of the city. These are the various wine houses, dance halls, shops, theatres, etc. that provide the entertainment factor. This portion of the city is of a colourful, if not tacky decor. Architectural styles vary from building to building, often altering primarily due to function and to advertise the establishment's wares.
The other portion is a small enclave commonly called the uptown, which acts as the residential section for Telsadun's wealthier citizens. It is a clean secure area with broad streets and walled estates. Most residents own one or more business downtown. The Baron's home and offices, Dyurkhan barracks, and a small market are located here. Most residents of Uptown keep several mercenaries on retainer. No businesses or slaves, other than household staff, are allowed in the Uptown section.
The ruler of Telsadun is Baron Fertistrar (C29 of Razud). He is a stern yet efficient ruler, who has managed to distance himself from the vices of his city. A renowned warrior in his days with the Randel Cavalry, he has a great deal of respect from the visiting troops and locals. The Baron is currently single and has no children. He is known to keep company with Commander Assillya (F22) commander of the Dyurkan troops.
Mayor Demerondiar (M16) administers the city's daily chores and acts as a liaison officer to the residents as well as the business owners. He is overweight and often viewed as an oaf. He is a merry sort who has a bad habit of self-indulgence. This attitude makes him popular with the businessmen, but it also affects his job performance. The Mayor is happy to pass his duties onto others such as the Custodian. Custodian Dloremia (F16) oversees the maintenance of the city. She is an energetic person who enjoys the work. She has assumed several aspects of the Mayors duties. She is happy with this added workload as she sees it as an excellent opportunity to display her abilities.
Subordinate to Demerondiar and Dloremia is Nertrigia (C32 of Asterius). Her role in Telsadun is to monitor the honesty of the games to insure that the visiting troopers and the game runner are not cheated. Nertrigia works on a commission that is forwarded to the Asterius Following. This commission is paid for from a collection drawn from the gambling establishments themselves.
Within Telsadun's walls, just about every form of amusement can be found. All venues are safe and without any risk or fraud thanks to tight city ordinances. The limiting factor to what one does lays with a person's personal wealth. Since most visitors are common troops on leave. Most entertainment is centred on them and their income bracket.
Ranking officers and soldiers of some wealth will find The Silk House a welcomed place to unwind. This building is probably the most elegant of any within the business district. There they are pampered by the best the Empire has to offer. Fine food, exquisite wines, fine musicians, and some of the most attractive and socially refined concubine slaves available. The Silk House's owner is Madame Aylanna's (M3). Madame Aylanna is the "hooker with a heart of gold". A former concubine slave, Aylanna picked up limited knowledge of magic from one of her favourite customers. It was this small inventory of spells that afforded her freedom. Since gaining her own freedom Aylanna has done little to expand her magical studies. She was a call girl in her youth and is well aware of the future her girls are bound for. She tries her best to find them husbands before they get too old. Once a match is made, she gives them their freedom. The Madame is well like personality and has many affluent contacts within Randel as well as the Empire. The Silk House keeps several name level fighters on staff to deal with patrons that get out of hand.
Madame Aylanna has two primary girls that she is trying to find matches for. Both have served their mistress well and their beauty brought a bounty of gold to her personal wealth. Now that they both have begun to reach their late twenties, the Madame has pulled them both from the ranks of her working girls and placed them as hostesses.
The first is Lillissa (normal human). She is of common Alphatian stock. The other girl is Dromedrian (normal human). She is of mixed Alphatian/Thyatian heritage. Both girls are drop dead gorgeous and have a grace befitting a debutante. The Madame has seen few promising matches within the current bevy of officers. The two women have, uniformly dismissed those few that meet the Madame's requirements. Undaunted the Madame continues her search.
The common ranks will find The Grounded Galley much to their favour. It is a large wine house decorated with a flavour of the military. Most types are on display in the decor. However, there is an obvious abundance of Aerial Fleet paraphernalia present.
The proprietor is Syvanstrick (M22), a retired officer in both Randel's Air Fleet as well as the Imperial Air Navy. He is rarely present, as he owns another establishment in Bluenose. When he does visit he is a good hearted and friendly sort to all present. The Grounded Galley is administered by Argostian (M12) a former comrade of Syvanstrick when they served in the Randel Aerial Fleet. Argostian is a quiet man who is at home on either side of the bar. A frequent visitor is Syvanstrick's paramour Taliandriss (C12 of Talitha) who stops by to check on things. She is an upstart woman with a dashing flair for grace and sophistication. She seems to relish heaping verbal abuse upon the Galley's dancing girls and serving wenches.
Those wishing to "play the odds" should visit The Bronze Buckler, Telsadun's most popular gambling establishment. Here, troopers can play dice or watch Hardball games via magical means. Refreshments, music, and dancing girls are there to add to the gambling experience. The Buckler has small arena adjacent to the gambling hall. Here, weaponry and spell demonstrations are held. And yes, duels are often held here.
The proprietors, Macek (F8) and Maera (M7), are identical twins. They inherited the business from an uncle who passed away a few years back. The two young men have done well to carry on the Buckler's reputation for entertainment. Aiding them are several of their uncle's employees. A collection of fighters, mages, and clerics they offer advice as well as security to the lads.
There is a little bit of everything to be seen and done in Telsadun. However, most visitors have to stop and see the Obsidian Tower, which sit directly in the centre of the small city. The Tower is a smooth surfaced tower reaching a height of some one hundred feet. Its base is about fifty feet in diameter. There are no windows. In fact, the Tower is a featureless cone reaching up into the sky.
Most residents know better than to attempt entrance. Several ambitious visitors have attempted to climb the edifice. Most perish as the Dyurkan troops quite unceremoniously shoot them down. Several mages have attempted to gain entrance via magical means. However, none have emerged to report the details of the interior.
If asked, most citizens of the city will truthfully say that they do not know what the Tower is, nor do they know who built it. It just appeared there one morning. Chances are good that the citizens will pass on a rumour or two about it. The most popular rumour is that the Tower is a shrine of sorts dedicated to the fallen King Randel II. This being rationalised, as the Tower appeared around the time the king perished in Thyatis.
Militarily, Telsadun is different from its contemporary towns and cities. The troop units stationed within its walls do not serve primarily as a protecting force for the city. Instead, they act as a police force to keep the revellers in line. This is not an easy task, for the vices on display there make maintaining discipline difficult. The temptations are just too strong.
The only troops disciplined enough to serve in Telsadun have proved to be Dyurkan Regiments. In Telsadun, there are three Dyurkan Regiments: 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regiments. Their overall commander is the Commander Assillya (F22). Though young for her rank, she is a devoted soldier, even by Dyurkan standards. A natural beauty, her tenacity and wisdom has calmed any fears by her fellow Dyurkans as to her being qualified.
Other Notables
Akordia (T27) is a noted performer. Her specialties are juggling, knife throwing, and gymnastics. Accentuating her performances is a charming comedic wit. Akordia is one of the town's most popular entertainers. She only performs once or twice a month. However, she can often be seen at local parties and entertainment establishments.
In Telsadun, visitors are required to leave all weapons, except daggers, with the Dyurkan troops at one of the city's gatehouses. Mages are exempt from this rule. Visitors are encouraged to take in all of the sights of the city. However, the display of blatant aggression and other rude behaviour is subject to the attentions of the Dyurkan troops. They act as constable, judge, and executioner. They are the law. Visitors are not allowed except by invitation to enter the Uptown section. In Telsadun, all kingdom as well as Imperial holidays are recognised. These holidays are celebrated in exaggerated manners to capitalise on the festival atmosphere of the city. Also, during Amphimir 15th through 28th, the city is closed to visitors so that the Dyurkans can celebrate the Mobakonas holiday, as they would back in the Highlands. Most non-Dyurkans use this period to rest and to repair and remodel their establishments.
DM Notes:
Taliandriss, of the Grounded Galley, is a cleric of the Immortal Talitha. She has established a small following within the city. Syvanstrick is unaware of her true nature. He is under her charms and quite content. Argostian does not like Taliandriss and suspects she is up to something but has remained quiet for lack of evidence. For her part, Taliandriss is well aware of Argostian thoughts on her. She knows that she cannot just get rid of him, for he and Syvanstrick are still good friends and comrades from the Army. That is a bond that she is ill at ease to challenge.
The performer Akordia is not just a simple showman. No, her true identity is as an agent for the Black Watch. Her duty is to gather information. With the constant flow of visitors from throughout the kingdom, she has a means to gather much information. This being Telsadun, people tend to talk more, especially at parties and after a few drinks.
The Obsidian Tower is the stronghold and residence of old King Randel IIs personal guard. After King Randel II fell in Thyatis, the remaining Guard vowed redemption. This redemption did not fully fall on a lack of fighting ability. Instead, many of the Guard had come under the influence of the Thyatians as well as become addicts of zzonga fruit. Blaming themselves for the loss of their King, they screamed for vengeance. Calling for the assistance of an Immortal to aid them, they got a response though at the time none knew it. The Immortal was none other than Nyx. Taking pity on them, she cast her Immortal magic. The spell manifested itself as the Guard members fell in combat and the bodies remained preserved.
By the time relief troops had fought through to them, only a scant handful of the Guards remained. At the behest of the survivors the dead Guards were ferried back to Randel for burial. On the way, the survivors were visited in their dreams by Nyx. She told them to take the bodies to Telsadun and place them in a newly constructed tower.
Arriving with the preserved corpses, they discovered that a black hued tower had appeared during the night in the very centre of town. Under the cover of night, the surviving Guard placed the dead inside. They tower's doorway closed sealing not only the dead in but also the survivors. The still living Guard members committed suicide to join their fallen brethren. Soon after the spell Nyx had cast fully manifested itself.
Those Guard members that had either fallen to the vices of Thyatis or had succumb to zzonga were turned to Death Knights (page 52 AD&D Monstrous Manual). These death knights are the source of the wails that emit from the tower from time to time. Those that had avoided the temptations were changed into Skeletal Warriors (page 317 Monstrous Manual), minus the soul ring aspect, and are completely sentient. Also among the King's Guard were a number of elves. These elves became Wyrds. The officer magists and clerics were transformed into liches. Their commander Deliantra (M36 lich) was turned into an Arch Lich. She still commands the troops she did in life.
The undead troopers are magically trapped within the tower. The Death Knights cannot use shadows to teleport out. The tower's interior is permanently lit by immortal magic from all angles, negating shadows. The liches remain studious with their spellbooks that were interred with them. The troops spend the years sitting about a large crystal sphere, which enables them to view the mortal pursuits of Telsadun. This is how they keep their sanity. It has also enabled them to keep up to date on current events. The undead troops share the people of Randel's hatred of Bettellyn, blaming their foot dragging as dishonourable.
The magic that keeps them inside will only drop if Randel is threatened. That done the doorway to the tower's interior will open and the undead troops can leave. Upon leaving, they will mount up on summoned Nightmares (page 269 Monstrous Manual) to carry them into battle.
Aside from the undead King's Guard, the tower is also the home for several other types of undead. Teleporting into the Tower is no problem, but teleporting out is. The magics that keep the undead in make it impossible for intruders to teleport out. With infiltrating the tower as such a popular venture with visitors, the undead body count has risen. There are numerous animated skeletons from the corpses of these would be adventurers. Not to mention a few other undead types.
In total, the undead in the Obsidian Tower number 65 Death Knights, 105 Skeleton Warriors, 16 Wyrds, 12 Liches, and 1 ArchLich. Lesser undead total 43 animated skeletons wearing an assortment of armours and weapons, 6 Wraiths, and 10 Crypt Things (one for each level of the tower). DMs are advised to expand the types of undead within the tower. But be reminded that the wards that keep them in makes undead such as vampires unlikely as they would perish for lack of feeding.

DeLaveaga Park Trail is a 4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Santa Cruz, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
Upper Delaveaga Loop Trail (1.5 mile loop) is a Moderate trail through mixed woodlands, with some steep and difficult sections. There is a nearby disc golf course, so bring your frisbee if you wanna play
A little challenging for beginners like me but I had a blast. It really is a nice trail.
Nice little 45 min loop. Good if you're looking for something quick, easy to navigate and free. Free parking in small lot across from golf course club house. Access upper redwood trail through gate near blue gas tank. There was a wider, flatter loop lower down that looked good for running. Not quite sure where the best way to access that would be.
There are three levels of trails and all of them run parallel (lower, middle, and upper). They are easy to follow, but this AllTrails map is really hard to follow because not all of the trails are marked. The trails are in pretty good condition for running. We were able to run 5 miles. The lower redwood loop is pretty. Lots of shade on all the trails. I took one star off because there were many dogs off leash. It's nerve wracking to run around a corner and be face to face with an unleashed dog. Leash your dogs!
I just did the Upper Delaveaga Loop. I'd say about 70% of the trail was in Redwood forest and the rest was more of a mixed oak woodland. Park in the small parking lot that is adjacent to the golf course clubhouse (there are no signs). The trail access is on the northeast side of the parking lot through a small gate in the chainlink fence next to a blue gas tank. I only saw 2 other people the entire time I was on the trail so this is a pretty peaceful and isolated hike for being so close to town. You can hear road and highway noise throughout much of the hike but the views make up for that. You'll also need to be aware of poison oak because there is a lot of it growing along the trail and sometimes it's overgrown onto the trail. The trail is mostly level but has quite a few sections with moderate to moderately steep inclines making for a nice workout hike. The upper loop can be done in about 45 minutes which is perfect for a lunch break hike.
Entrance at parking across of club house, a little bit difficult to find due to not sign . Good shade during sunny day . Easy to get lost if not watching sign carefully. Can hear highway noise . Good for 1 hour walk.
Great little Sunday hike. We only ran into a few people on the hike. Near the top, we cut down to the creek and took the lower trail back to the beginning. Our dog loved it!
Although DeLavega is not marked as dog friendly and doesn't come up when you use the dog friendly filter, it's is. A great dog walk. On a lovely Sunday in April we only saw a few other people. Many dogs were off leash. Everyone was friendly. There's road noise when you're near Branciforte Ave but not bad the rest of the time. The view from the Top of the World is worth it

Ogier has been named as a finalist in two categories of the HFM Asia Hedge Fund Services Awards 2017, as Best Offshore Law Firm overall and Best Offshore Law Firm – Client Service.
This is the second recognition of Ogier's achievements in the Asian marketplace this summer, following the firm's shortlisting as Offshore Law Firm of the Year in the Asian Legal Business Hong Kong Law Awards 2017.
The HFM Asia Hedge Fund Services Awards recognise hedge fund services providers that have demonstrated exceptional customer service, innovative product development and responsive to client needs.
Several members of Ogier's Hong Kong team have also been recognised for their work in the past year. Partners Nicholas Plowman and Anthony Oakes were both named in Asian Legal Business' top ten offshore lawyers (both appearing on the list for the second year in a row), and the same publisher named fellow partner Kate Hodson as one of the 40 top lawyers under the age of 40 in Asia.
Ogier's Hong Kong practice partner Nicholas Plowman said: "Our team is widely recognised as a leader in the investment funds space in Asia and our expertise in Cayman and BVI law in particular remains a key draw for clients. Ogier in Hong Kong continues to go from strength to strength, and this latest cluster of award nominations is testament to that."
The winners of the HFM Asia Hedge Fund Services Awards will be announced at a ceremony on 28 September at the Four Seasons, Singapore.

A/N: I don't remember why I wrote this. But this was, I think, a combination of my productive madness and hopelessly dying romantic side of me *shrugs* Thanks to my beta for fixing this despite the many beta works she has to do during Holiday season.
Disclaimer: of course PoT and it's characters aren't mine. Money? What are you talking about?
This wasn't exactly how Tezuka had envisioned his life to be in the future. He hadn't seen this coming, wasn't quite prepared for this. Tezuka had carelessly let his guard down, though this time he had very little to complain about.
In his teenage days, Tezuka could –with different degrees of difficulty- imagine himself in the future. He could see himself standing in the middle of the court in Wimbledon as the guards tried to stop the raging crowd of screaming brunettes with perpetually closed eyes and deceiving smiles, sitting in a private office overlooking the beautiful skyline of Tokyo where racquet-shaped cloud could be seen along with the swallow birds flying across the blue, or even standing on top of Mount Everest with his limbs miraculously intact, wearing nothing but a Seigaku tennis jersey while carrying a flag with a picture of cacti on it.
He didn't foresee himself commuting to the school where he used to study to teach biology every weekday. He didn't foresee being hit on by male and female students and fellow co-workers alike. He didn't foresee going home to prepare dinner while waiting for his lover to return home from his prestigious architect office downtown. Tezuka certainly didn't foresee said lover being Seigaku's genius, Fuji Syuusuke. However, despite having so many things –if not everything- in his life not going the way he wanted to, Tezuka was mostly content.
This evening Tezuka returned home with a bag of groceries containing their dinner (regular curry rice for him and an extra spicy one for Fuji), ready to begin his evening routine of making dinner, grading the papers from his students, having dinner, then continue to work on the papers before cleaning the house and joining Fuji in bed to be kept awake for god knows how long.
He didn't expect to see Fuji sitting on the living room couch, still in his working suit, with a serious look, which Tezuka should've had instead. He couldn't see what had brought the sudden seriousness, after all Fuji wasn't the one whose lover was constantly called by anonymous female clients every evening.
Tezuka greeted Fuji quietly, minding the lack of smile and the way those piercing blue eyes were locked on him. He didn't know what had caused the change, but knew that it meant he should keep his guard up in preparation for Fuji's whims. Tezuka learnt this quickly after he suddenly found himself and Fuji in a plane to the Amazon just two hours after entering their brand new house. Fuji's seriousness, Tezuka learnt, was reserved only for when he was determined to bow down to his sudden whims. It was only unfortunate those whims usually involved Tezuka's temporary misery and constant pleasure or else he would've put his foot down a long time ago. But then again, who was he fooling? He could never say no to Fuji, even if his bonsais' lives depended on it.
Tezuka only had the time to set down the groceries on the centre island before he was pulled back to the living room. He stared silently as Fuji pushed him to sit down on the couch he had previously sat on and knelt in front of him. Fuji's serious face still hadn't changed and Tezuka's heart began to throb madly in his chest. What was going on?
"Kunimitsu." Fuji began, calling his attention. His cerulean orbs were firmly fixed on Tezuka's brown ones, captivating him as they always did. "I have waited too long to say this to you."
Tezuka's eyes widened slightly. His body trembled in fear as his heart began to beat even faster. Was that it? Was this the end? Was Fuji going to leave him for that woman? Was he going to abandon him? Tezuka's body grew cold, his throat was clogged, his body paralyzed. He wanted to hold Fuji, beg him to stay, offer anything, everything to have him stay, but he couldn't say a word and his body was numb. How could he go on without Fuji? Fuji knew well he couldn't go on without him. He couldn't leave him. He couldn't…
Before Tezuka could rearrange his thoughts, Fuji reached into the inner pocket of his suit and drew out a small box. He opened it without averting his eyes from Tezuka, revealing a simple ring with a tiny blue jewel on it. Tezuka's stared blankly at the ring, his jaw hanging open slightly as his mind stopped working.
"I want to wake up to see your face every morning. I want your face to be the last thing I see before I sleep every night. I want to spend every second of the rest of my life with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Tezuka blinked, his senses and cognitive ability slowly returning at the speed of a snail. He gaped at his lover, successfully adopting the expression of Oishi's favorite goldfish, partially hoping to see that he was joking, that he was just going to drag Tezuka out of the house seconds from now to go to Antarctica to catch a polar bear. But he saw only seriousness in his eyes, the kind of determination that was impossible to break unless Tezuka made a serious effort in practicing pole dancing.
"But we're in Japan. We can't…," he said, trying to beat some sense into his lover's thick skull.
But Fuji, true to his nature, wasn't listening. "I want to share your happiness and your sadness. I want to share your tears and your laughter. I want to go through every obstacle, every surprise, and every dream that comes true, with you. I want to share my life with you."
"But our parents…" Tezuka tried again desperately.
"I want to give you all that I was, am and will be. I want to belong solely to you. I want to give you my body, my heart, my soul. I want you to know you have my love now, forever, and always. I want nothing but knowing that I have yours in return."
"But…" Tezuka's protest was cut short however when Fuji sealed their lips together. Tezuka tasted nervousness, stubbornness, passion and affection in the kiss and he was reminded once again why he agreed to be Fuji's boyfriend just weeks after their first meeting when they were in their first year of Junior High; he remembered why he insisted on going to the same high school and college as Fuji; he remembered why he agreed to move in with Fuji; he remembered why he never complain despite the back pain, headaches, mischief, and unpredictability that he had to endure everyday he spent with him; he remembered why he loved him.
"Be mine." Fuji whispered against his lips after they broke the lengthy kiss that, as usual, ended with Tezuka lying down with Fuji on top of him.
Tezuka gasped for breath, holding on to Fuji as he tried to gather his scattered wits. He struggled for a sensible reply, an explanation why Fuji's request was really out of line this time. But a look into that deep, soulful, loving eyes and Tezuka couldn't deny his heart anymore. "Yes." He gasped out.
The return of Fuji's smile was comforting. Tezuka couldn't help but hold him tighter and lean up to kiss him. It wasn't how things were supposed to be, but they had each other. Life couldn't get better than that.
Tezuka's eye twitched slightly when Fuji shifted to put the ring on his finger. He glared exasperatedly at his smug lover, but Fuji only looked at him with a wide smile and shifted again.
"Fuji." He warned his lover. The effect was lost however as he was blushing from the effect of the life changing event that had just taken place. Well, that and the fact that a certain upstanding member of Fuji's body was pressing incessantly against his thigh.
"Ne, Kunimitsu, can we begin the honeymoon in advance?"
A/N: The omake is for you, lafuego! Remember that Y!m conference weeks ago? Well it was an honor to have an upstanding member of TeFu community like you as my adoptive mommy! XDDD And I still can't write gen fic like you, godmommy a1y_puff . Though I can make death fic XDD

Product Features
Air-Guard 400™
Strong Sterilization
Photo-catalyst Honeycomb filter and the UV lamps provide an outstanding sterilization function.
Exceptional micro organism removal ability
Pre-Filter and the other filters remove 99.9% of contaminated dust. Hepa filter can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometres in diameter such as bacteria, viruses, mold, spores, dust mites, pollens, pet dander, carpet fibers. Particles of this size are the most difficult to filter and thus the most penetrating particle size (MPPS). Particles that are larger or smaller are filtered with even higher efficiency.
Strong Absorption & smoke removal
Photo-catalytic filter, on contact decomposes poisonous gases, smoke and organics passing through it. The active carbon holds the gases and organics in the cavities of the honeycomb filter, whereas filters with coating on aluminum or zinc meshes have limited capacity due to the lack of absortion.
Sustained Operability by restored cavities of the filter with active carbon
The filter with active carbon alone needs a replacement when its cavities are clogged, while one with active carbon and photo-catalysts with UV-C light attached saves replacement, for the photo-catalysts with UV-C light restore cavities in the filter by decomposing poisonous gases or organics. Changing filters within 1-2 years is recommended.
Steriliziation of indoor air with Ultraviolet-C light and Photo-catalyst
- Eliminates Volatile Organic Compounds such as Dioxin, formaldehyde and various hazardous compounds via active carbon.
- Decomposes various hazardous materials like smoke and smell.

Exploring Anda, Bohol
Location: Anda (municipality), Bohol (province), Philippines
Anda, Bohol
Because of its distance from Tagbilaran (3 hours), the main hub of Bohol, Anda is the lesser known beach area in Bohol, overshadowed by Alona Beach in Panglao. But Anda is more pristine, less commercial, less expensive, with the same fine white sand beaches that extend way out before it gets deep. The main beach area at the Poblacion is about 1.5km long, but there are other beaches along the coast. The shore is lined-up with a few resorts and lodging places for locals and travelers alike. It begged to be explored!
Ferd 'Toys' Aguilar
As good fortune would have it, my high school buddy from Manila was in Cebu and decided to join me in Anda. Ferd and I go back a long way from our freediving days in Mabini, Batangas, our island exploration in Polilio Island and Blues nights in Manila. Here in Anda, we spent a lot of time just watching tv, beer on the beach, coffee on the roof deck of Zenith's Bar and sometimes, heated arguments about quantum mechanics, genetics and family. It was good 'ol times again with Ferd until he headed back to Cebu.
Anda Lodge
Contact: Dodong Escobido
Mobile: 0917.540.9209
Google Map Location: 9°44'32.8"N 124°34'27.9"E
Reviews: Tripadvisor
Social Media: Facebook
For 5 nights, I stayed at Anda Lodge in a decent air-conditioned room with ensuite, wifi, water and cable tv for only P600/night/2 pax (low season)! This is the most affordable a/c guesthouse I know as far as my hotel scouring has taken me. It's a 2-minute walk from the beach and just across the street from the main eateries/market. This place is a winner for value! For a bigger group, they also have 2-bed and 3-bed family rooms.
Market Day
Tuesdays become animated as it's market day. Vendors occupy a big open lot behind the market to put up their booths. You get all kinds - fresh fish, veggies, ukay-ukay clothing, household items, etc. People from all the barrios in Anda make the trip to Poblacion to get their supplies.
Lamanok Island
This attraction is common in Anda but unknown outside its boundaries - not even in Tagbilaran. Lamanok is an islet you reach by boat from a mangrove forest about 7kms from Poblacion (tricycle, P30/pax one-way). From the main road, you take about a 100m walk on a bamboo bridge elevated by stilts along the mangrove forest. At the end is a resto fronting the sea. From there, you can take a boat tour, P300/pax, to explore the caves and nearby attractions. Unfortunately, I arrived too early. It was still closed so I walked along the bamboo bridge until I reached a locked gate. It was also fiesta in the area so I was advised that the people might sleep in a bit from an all-night fiesta activity.
After Ferd left, there wasn't much for social life. There were hardly travelers around. In the Philippines, it's not easy talking to the local travelers - it's not in the culture to be talking to local strangers unless you're a white guy. I usually default to the resident locals - not local travelers. I miss the company of backpackers - the kind of culture I've experienced along the backpacker trail of Southeast Asia. That's until I saw a group of backpackers eating behind the market. I approached them and started sharing travel insights. Later that night, we hung-out by the beach over some spirits. A group of local travelers from Bilar were there who invited us over to their tent. It was a fun night of socials and drinks.
Ending Thoughts
After staying in Anda for 6 days, it felt time to move on despite its many wonders I haven't seen yet. That will be for the next visit should I be favored to be here again. Anda feels like an onion with its many layered dimensions. Anda is more than just a white sand beach.

How to get to Anda from Tagbilaran Port
- take a tricycle from the port to Dao Bus Terminal (P15, 10 mins)
- at the bus terminal the yellow bus makes several trips/day to Anda (P95, 3 hours)
Departure times: 5:20am, 8:50am, 10:20am, 12:45pm, 2:20pm, 4:20pm and 5:50pm
- get-off at the Anda public market. The beaches and resorts are just a short walk away
Bohol FYI / Tips
- the tourist area where most of the hotels, restaurants, ticket offices, tour operators are, is located within the Alona Beach area
- the tourist attractions in Bohol are far apart and spread-out. It would be difficult to visit them all using public mass transit. Better hire a van (P3500/day) if in a big group, or rent a motorcycle (P400/day + gas)
- Bohol relies on its tourism for revenue. As expected, everything they can capitalize on from tourism is extensively used and developed
Tagbilaran Port to PanglaoYou can charter any tricycle from the port all the way to Panglao (~P300), but if you want to do it on the cheap,
- don't take the tricycles lined-up inside the port. Walk past the port gate and immediately outside, you'll see many tricycles. Take one to the bus terminal in Dao (~P15)
- in Dao, take the jeep that plies the Panglao route (~P20)

Things to do, Places to go in Bohol

Costco and Apple haven't always seen eye to eye over the years. But under Tim Cook's leadership, Apple's reach at Costco has slowly improved. This Christmas represents Apple's largest reach to Costco's faithful in years.
Costco is fortifying their warehouses with a large Apple kiosk, which essentially contains every major Apple product, the Mac being the only exclusion. Apple's 9.7" iPad, 10.1" and 12.7" iPad Pro, both sizes of Apple Watch Series 3, and Apple TV 4K are all available at Costco.
Some products, such as Apple Watch Series 3 42mm, are not yet stocked, but should be available within the next few days. If you have a Costco membership and are looking for some solid prices on Apple's iOS-based gear, Costco may be getting more of your holiday money this season.

A public consultation on setting the Council's three year budget for 2018-21 will launch next week.
The consultation, which will go live on Monday 9th October, will contribute to councillors' decision making about where and how the Council's budget is spent over the next three years.
Whilst the Council does not yet know its exact budget, with the Scottish Government not due to confirm the annual grant settlement until December, it is expecting to have to make savings in the region of £26million between 2018 and 2021.
This is in addition to the £37million of savings already made since 2012.
A range of proposed saving options have been identified to help meet the Council's expected funding shortfall over the next three years and these will be published for public consultation next week.
The Council estimates that it will have around 300 less posts than in the current council business. Working with Trade Union partners, the hope is to achieve these reductions without the need for compulsory redundancies.
However, in addition, new roles and retraining opportunities will also be created as the needs of the Council changes. For example, over the next few years we expect more than 200 new early years support roles will be created as the Council works to implement new government targets. Therefore overall it is anticipated there will be around 100 fewer posts by 2021.
Council Leader, Tony Buchanan, said: "I would encourage all local people to get involved and have their say when the proposals are put forward next week. Our budget covers a huge range of services, including our schools, roads, parks, health and social care, cleansing and housing. We have always taken a long term strategic approach to budget setting, which is why we're planning for three years. Millions of pounds worth of efficiencies achieved through more modern ways of working have already helped to off-set the impact of the savings needed on frontline services to date. However, with efficiencies already maximised in a range of areas the scope left available to find more savings by efficiencies is limited. We are therefore going to have to make tough decisions about where savings can come from during our forthcoming budget cycle so we want as many people as possible to get involved in the consultation.
Councillor Tony Buchanan - Leader of the Council
The consultation will be open from 9th October until 28 November, with the final budget being decided by elected members at a meeting of the full council on 8th February 2018.

Do you sleep too much? Do you fall asleep in the middle of the work day, or feel tired? Have you considered the Hab Pill that is called Modvigil? As a brand of anti-fatigue medicine Modafinil, the hab bill makes people more awake throughout the day. You want to but it without a prescription? You can buy Modvigil online at Modalert.net!
What Is The HAB Pill?
Modvigil, as it is called, is a generic form of Modafinil, which keeps people awake and fights fatigue. Hab Pharma makes it from India. Modvigil is a stimulant where, in certain dosages, it does not lead to addiction. The hab pills differ from other Modafinil medications in price and strength. It is less expensive than Modalert 200, a relative stimulant, but its efficacy is a bit less than others.
The hab pill is available in 200 mg or less tablets and taken once a day. Those who suffer from narcolepsy, a single pill in the morning is all that is needed. In minutes, energy will fill you up.
Certainly, you will be more efficient and productive. You can finish your tasks successfully. You can also help others finish their jobs. Having a graveyard schedule, you should take 100 mg Modvigil dosage one hour before your job. You will definitely become ready during your night shift work. You will be attentive and have a presence of mind.
Because the hab pill is cheaper and less strong, many people who use these medications, such as students and overnight works, prefer this than the other medications.
Why Modalert.Net?
At Modalert.net, we have multiple medicines to buy for cheap to help with any problem you need. This includes the hab pill, which can be bought in a sample pack or in a bundle. From $0.70 to $160.00, you can buy on sale a pack of hab pills.
Hab pills are ordered and shipped within 2 hours, getting the product to you fast and discreetly. We offer at a low price a pack of hab pills, and if bought for $130 or more, shipping is free. (All transactions are encrypted, protecting your personal information which is not sold to third parties.) Compared to other drug-selling websites, Modalert.Net is the safest place to buy hab pills online that are top quality products at very cheap.
So, don't wait any longer. Sign up, order online, and get your hands on some hab pills sooner than later with Modalert.Net.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we have animal control laws?
Laws protect people. They also protect pets. Though many people feel a pet is an individual's right, some animals do cause problems and have to be regulated. The laws described here provide better health and safety for the public. We hope you will read them and understand why there are certain laws which you and your pet must obey. Copies of the complete code are available for inspection on this website, as well as at City Hall.

Exceptions to this requirement include a thirty-day residency grace period and dogs/cats under the age of six (6) months on the required licensing date.
How long is the license effective?

What is the deadline for licensing?
The deadline for licensing is March 1, 2012.
Does my pet have to wear the tag at all times?
The license tag issued by the veterinarian shall be securely fastened by the owner to a collar or harness which shall be worn at all times by the dog/cat for which it was issued unless the animal is kept inside. It shall be unlawful for any person other than the owner to remove the collar from the dog or cat.
Who will be responsible for enforcement of the licensing requirement?
Enforcement shall be the responsibility of the Monona Police Department or its representative. Veterinarians shall in no way be responsible for the enforcement of the required licensing within the city of Monona.
What are the consequences if my pet is running at large or is not wearing a valid rabies vaccination tag?
A dog or cat shall be apprehended and impounded by law enforcement officials if the dog/cat is running at large and/or the dog/cat is not wearing a valid rabies vaccination tag or a rabies vaccination certificate is not presented to law enforcement officials. Any owner of any unlicensed dog or cat is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be punished by a fine up to $750 or by imprisonment up to 30 days.
If my licensed dog/cat passes away or I do not own the animal anymore do I need to notify the City of Monona?
Yes, if you do not notify the City of Monona, an automatic renewal will be sent to you. You may notify the City of Monona by calling (563) 539-2355, emailing at www.mononaiowa.com, or visiting the City Clerks office. Please assist us by notifying us of any address changes.
What should I do if I've lost my dog or cat, or my animal is loose?
As soon as you notice your dog or cat is missing, or loose, immediately check around your home and neighborhood. Ask friends and neighbors if they have seen your pet and if so, when and where? If your pet is not found after your initial search, contact the Monona Police Department during normal work day. They will attempt to find the animal and return it to you if it has been properly licensed. All other animals are taken to the Monona Vet Clinic and processed accordingly.
What if I lose the rabies vaccination tag?
Call or visit your veterinarian where you received the vaccination and they will issue another one. Then report that new vaccination number to the Monona City Clerk as soon as possible.

4 things every Ole Miss fan needs to know today
Happy Sunday, Ole Miss fans!
Another game day has come and gone and the Rebels are still in control of their own destiny in the SEC West. Ole Miss got a hard-fought road win against Auburn on Saturday, and it was wide receiver Laquon Treadwell who was responsible for the touchdown to put the Rebels up by eight.
Here are four things to know:
- Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze was obviously pleased to get the win. He knows wins, particularly on the road, don't come easy, and his team has put together two games in a row where they've played relatively well.
- The Rebels were so excited to get the win they celebrated in the locker room by claiming they were the Alabama state champions. Of course, Ole Miss defeated Alabama on Sept. 13 in Tuscaloosa.
- The win meant a lot to Treadwell. It had to be a fulfilling moment for the junior wideout to get the big score for Ole Miss against the very team he was severely injured against a year ago. Afterward, Treadwell insisted it wasn't a revenge game, but it still had to be a cool moment.
- Ole Miss defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche showed his pure strength as he abused an Auburn offensive lineman.
Other Ole Miss news from around the Internet
- Freeze got the dancing started early for Ole Miss Saturday by doing the whip with Ole Miss cornerback Tony Bridges.
- Here's the Associated Press story from Saturday's game for those of you who like to relive all the action.
- After back-to-back SEC West wins, is it safe to believe in the Rebels again? Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit says yes.
The best stories around the SEC
- Military hero who served six tours of duty surprised with new home at Florida-UGA game
- CBS Sports analyst: "I don't know why Mark Richt's name is being considered for any job"

If yes then come up with valid reasons why we should have a separate province and even your answer is No in that case too come up with reasons/statements to justify your answer.
31 thoughts on "Are you in the favour of Hazara as a Separate Province?"
this is in regards to the current political deceits of tehreek e sooba hazara. this movement was started by the local people for demanding a seperate province but due to the excessive support and enraged public emotions the selfish local leaders turned it into a pressure group which is now habitually black mailing the local business men who collaborate with the business men from peshawar and also the district administration is being black mailed to get advantages.
b) today tehreek hazara is no more a political movement but it has become a pressure group which is trying to black mail every one for the vested interests of its leaders.for your information,tehreek hazara is now increasingly interferring in the affairs of the district administration in all over hazara.this includes interferring in the businesses,people who have leased government land after fulfilling all the regulations are being targeted and are declared as "pakhtoon agents". every second day ,the subject of the agitation is not creation of a sooba but banning peshawari business men from doing business in hazara. one character who is called naseer khan jadoon is specially active in this case,he first got seperated from the tehreek hazara and established his own faction called"tehreek tahafuz e haqook e hazara" and tried to create pressure on the district administration. his demands were to cancel all contracts and lease agreements all over the hazara region and they should be re allocated and re privatised again according to the wishes of his party.this clearly shows that the motifs of the local politician is to get political and financial benefits.
c)if u study the local news papers of hazara region,you would come to know that today tehreek hazara is a reign less horse which has no direction and their demands are sene less. about two days ago tehreek hazara established a "complaint cell" which would act like "wafaqi mohtasib" clearly undermining and interferring in the government affairs. dear safi sahab, being a citizen of abbottabad,it is my concerned opinion that if tehreek hazara keeps on taking government functions in its own hands,soon hazara would be in total chaos.we are moving slowly towards civil anarchy and surprisingly no government official has taken notice of such mis use of public power by tehreek hazara.
d) being student of politics,i know that no political movement can take the law in its own hands and there fore tehreek e hazara`s continued intervention in the government affair on the pretext of defending rights of the people would develop an other lal masjid type situation. a time may come when all district offices would be black mailed by the small local workers of the tehreek hazara and there would be no much say of government.
today all the business men who have partner ships with the pathan/peshawai business men are being harrassed and blackmailed as if they are traitors.
this would result in lack of business activity and if peshawari people retaliate in the same manner,which they have not till now,then we would practically end up in riots.
e)the local news papers: daily pine,abbottabad, daily shamal etc are vehemently creating hatred for pathans among the residents of the hazara and these news papers wilfully publish and propagate all the news maligning the image and character of those involved in any business contacts with the peshawar. this situation suggests that sooner or latter hazara would be under civil chaos and disobedience as both police and the district administration has till now,not objected as to why the unknown local leaders have repeatedly taken law in their own hands and have created a parallel administrative setup where district administration has no say.
f) till now the leaders of the tehreek have politicised every issue from the strike in ayub medical complex to the government lease granted by abbottabad tmo and have demanded cancellation of all lease agreements without taking into consideration the investment and the stakes of the business men involved.
surprisingly the tmo and the dco abbottabad have not tried to complain,thwart or take any action against those who have been demanding cancellation of leases,contracts and banning of non local business men.this in amenability and lack of reaction on the part of the dco and tmo has served to encourage the tehreek hazara elements and they have become more lawless and courageous in crippling the district machinery.
there fore please use your pen on this aggravating situation,time has come that tehreek hazara should be exposed infront of the people

Wanuskewin's 25th anniversary to be celebrated throughout 2017
- NC Raine | August 07, 2017
As one of Saskatchewan's most important cultural institutions in Saskatchewan, Wanuskewin Heritage Park celebrated their 25th Anniversary with the announcement of a couple of initiatives to further foster the education and preservation of Indigenous culture in the province.
Wanuskewin will launch into a year of celebration and commemoration of their 25th year, with several special announcements planned throughout the year.
More on Wanuskewin:
- Full slate of National Aboriginal Day activities at Wanuskewin
- Wanuskewin campaign gets boost from Deloitte
- Thundering Ahead receives $500,000 donation from CN
- Thundering Ahead receives largest donation yet
- Thundering Ahead Capital Campaign launched
- Wanuskewin to seek UNESCO world heritage designation
One of the first special announcements being a digital scrapbook to collect stories, videos, and photographs from anyone who is interested in expressing their personal histories with the park.
"Wanuskewin was built on the blood, sweat, and tears of volunteers and employees who have incredible stories," said Andrew McDonald, Wanuskewin Sales and Marketing Manager. "Wanuskewin is truly a place that gets under your skin and fuels a passion for everyone who has been here. So, we want to hear some of those stories."
The digital scrapbook will offer a searchable collection of stories and videos, which anybody may contribute to in order to paint a picture of Wanuskewin's history, says McDonald.
"The stories really give you a sense of what things were like fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years ago. It always means so much to me to hear how the park has developed over the last twenty-five years," says McDonald. "We encourage everyone to be part of this year-long project."
Since opening its doors in 1992, Wanuskewin has hosted hundreds of thousands of visitors, tourists, and school groups who visit the site to learn and experience Indigenous culture, heritage and the unique ecology of the land.
"Wanuskewin, as it was 6,000 years ago, is as it is today. It continues to gather and grow communities," said Candace Wasacase-Lafferty, Wanuskewin Chair of the Board of Directors.
"Twenty-five years from now I'm going to bring my grandchildren here, and if I'm lucky, my great-grandchildren. That's why we are here today – to celebrate where we are, where we've been, and where we're going," she said.
The anniversary celebrations took place amidst a Wanuskewin facility and grounds accommodating several school groups of young children – reminding everyone present the importance of the park for generations to come.
"To make a strong, vibrant country, what we have to do is harness that energy and imagination of those children to see into the future," said Dana Soonias, Wanuskewin CEO. "What is it all going to look like in twenty-five years? That's where we're looking."

The Brain
The Brain
Steve Scouten
Psychology 202 09/23/2012 Professor Andy A. Gauler
University of Phoenix
This paper will assist you in knowing the difference between the inner core of the brain compared to the cerebral cortex or outer covering of the brain while defining the importance of each. I will cover the definition of sensation and perception, explain the difference between them and give a sound example too. Furthermore, I will give the results of the left/right brain test in addition to how my orientation will help me with my future goals.
The Brain
The brain is compiled of two different major cores, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core can be separated into four areas, frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital regions. The outer core is one continuous cover on the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Inner Core
The frontal lobe, located in the front of the forehead is the main control center for all of the muscles throughout the entire body. On top of that, it also is the master control area for your emotions and attitude. Planning and decision making initiate in this area, in addition to major problem solving capabilities. The temporal lobe, located on the side of brain, is an important area for processing auditory functions as well as contributing to maintaining a good equilibrium. Facial recognition is another important function of the temporal lobe. The parietal lobe helps us to feel pain and pressure. It also helps us to realize the sense of touch and even temperature. The Occipital lobe deals only with the visual aspects of everyday life and the things we see. Outer Core
The outer core is also known as the "Cerebral Cortex". The cerebral cortex is the main storage area of...

The MS-DOS version of PLATOTerm is now available for testing. You will need an MS-DOS compatible PC and a wifi modem attached to an available COM port, to test.
New developments on IRATA.ONLINE happen fast! Check the Facebook group for everything from new PLATOTerm ports, scheduling workshops and events, to announcements of new content on the service itself!
PLATOTerm ZX for Spectranet users has now entered alpha testing. If you have a ZX spectrum with at least 48K of RAM, and a Spectranet interface, then you can load PLATOTerm directly from our TNFS server by typing:
%mount irata.online
%load ""
We have also provided a preliminary documentation sheet with PLATO key mappings. Full documentation will be provided when PLATOTerm ZX is fully released.
Commodore 64 and Apple ][ testers with connectivity peripherals are needed to test the upcoming alpha version of PLATOTerm64.
You will need the following:
The release can be downloaded here: on GitHub
IRATA.ONLINE is provided for the benefit of retro-computing users to have a place to socialize, and develop interesting multi-user, interactive, and graphical games and social applications. It descends from the historical PLATO system, a massive time-sharing system that lasted from 1962 until NovaNET was closed in 2015. Wikipedia entry.
It is vital that communities grow, and to that end, IRATA.ONLINE is part of a rebirth of the PLATO system that started with the launching of Cyber1.org in 2004, and is the direct result of the efforts of that community to provide a distribution of the PLATO system that could be run on other systems. IRATA.ONLINE was initially intended to provide users of Atari 8-bit computer systems a customized experience that was easy to use. It is hoped that with the introduction of more PLATO terminals for other platforms that IRATA.ONLINE's reach can extend even further.
Where will it go? Who knows. This is an experiment to provide something better than a BBS, by making something that is not only multi-user, but provides a complete social development experience for its users.
IRATA.ONLINE is a PLATO based system, which has the following pervasive features:
If you have a PC or Mac that is already internet connected, all you need is the PTERM software, available from Cyber1.org
Download PTERM 5.0.8 for Windows
Download PTERM 5.0.9 for MacOS
Download PTERM 5.0.8 Source Code
Raspbian Jessie and Stretch APT repo for Raspberry Pi
(Linux binary builds coming soon. Setting up Package Repositories!)
If you have an Atari 8-bit computer, you will need:
We not only provide a complete protocol specification, but also two complete implementations in C, as well as the source code to the above Atari PLATO cartridge.
More details in the TECH section.
To connect to IRATA.ONLINE, use the following connection information:
If you want to try the system, before your account is approved, you can log in with the following sign-on:
user name: guest
group: guest
While this won't give you access to every part of the system (you will not be able to see users, or to use term-talk, for example), it will allow you to see the system, before your account is approved.
Shown here is a video providing an overview of IRATA.ONLINE, and its most basic and pervasive features. We log onto the system using both the PTERM and Atari clients, and walk through the various menus, showing quickly how notes (and personal notes) work, as well as show a quick glance of the games available, and a quick introduction to the unique programming environment available on PLATO systems.
The Protocol that IRATA.ONLINE uses is an ASCII based protocol developed for PLATO. it is ASCII in that it uses 7-bit characters and does not use the 8th bit of the byte. The protocol is completely documented in the "s0ascers" document, provided both below and accessible using either author mode or Go in the menu system. If you wish to make terminal software to access this service, this document is most useful.
S0ASCERS Document (HTML format)
S0ASCERS Document (ASCII text format)
To help foster adoption of the service, alongside the protocol implementation documentation above, and the pterm source code, also above. Steve Peltz also provided example implementations of a classic 68K Macintosh terminal (MacPAD) and a Sun SPARC terminal (XPad), both of these are sample implementations written in easy to understand C, that can be brought over to bootstrap other terminal program efforts. A big thank you to Steve Peltz.
Atari PLATO Cartridge (The Learning Phone) Source Code at github.
WIP code for a PLATO Terminal written in CC65, which compiles to Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Atari 8-bit and Apple II machines.
WIP code for an Atari ST PLATO Terminal written in Pure C
While not needed, it is possible for PLATO terminals to receive code from IRATA and execute it locally, possibly while interacting with code running on IRATA. A Micro Tutor interpreter exists within PTerm 6.0, and thus can be used to run Micro-Tutor lessons, and with appropriate implementations on other processors (6502, 6809, 68000, etc.), Micro-TUTOR could be extended to a wide variety of retro-computing systems. Source code in assembly for the Z80 Micro-Tutor interpreter is below:
Micro-PLATO Source Code extracted from IRATA's filesystem
Complete Level-2 Micro-TUTOR source code
The core interpreter for Micro-TUTOR level 4
IRATA.ONLINE like all PLATO systems, utilizes the TUTOR language for the majority of its programs and lessons. It is a very simple language to learn, and is designed to leverage the unique aspects of the service. The editor, debugger, and visual editors needed to make excellent programs for this service, are all built in, and available to users that ask for an Author sign-on.
There is also the =0introtut= lesson available from the Help menu and in author mode, as well as the =aids= lesson, which serves as a reference guide.
In addition, the fine folks at bitsavers.org and control-data.info provided a copy of The Tutor Language in PDF format, so you can teach yourself TUTOR quickly!

Very real, which gives pause for thought given the subject matter! And very exciting. I'm hoping to have the first draft of the follow up finished by June.

It's a fitting, eye-catching cover James. It makes it all real, seeing your name on the spine!
