Seta

Seta /ˈstə/, plural: setae /ˈst/, is a biological term derived from the Latin word for "bristle". It refers to a number of different bristle- or hair-like structures on living organisms.

Animal setae

Invertebrates

Annelid setae are stiff bristles present on the body. They help, for example, earthworms to attach to the surface and prevent backsliding during peristaltic motion. These hairs are what make it difficult to pull a worm straight from the ground. Setae in oligochaetes (a group including earthworms) are largely composed of chitin. They are classified according to the limb to which they are attached; for instance, notosetae are attached to notopodia; neurosetae to neuropodia.

Crustaceans have mechano- and chemosensory setae. Setae are especially present on the mouthparts of crustaceans and can also be found on grooming limbs. In some cases, setae are modified into scale like structures. Setae on the legs of krill and other small crustaceans help them to gather phytoplankton. It captures them and allows them to be eaten.

SETA Corporation

SETA Corporation (株式会社セタ Kabushiki-Gaisha Seta) (Full company name Super Entertainment and Total Amusement) was a Japanese computer gaming company, founded on October 1, 1985 and dissolved on January 23, 2009. Seta was headquartered in Kōtō, Tokyo. The American branch of Seta was located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

As a video game publisher, it made games for the Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and various other systems. It made games in North America but mainly Japan (specialising in golf and puzzle titles). SETA also developed the arcade system, the Aleck 64 which was based on N64 architecture. Also, SETA co-developed the SSV (Sammy, SETA, Visco) system.

On December 2008, parent company Aruze announced that Seta decided to close shop after 23 years of existence:

"Based on the deterioration of economic conditions within Japan as caused by the current international financial crisis, Seta came to the conclusion that the continuation of its business on its own would be difficult, and thereby resolved its dissolution and liquidation."

    Love Is Like Oxygen

    by: Sweet

    Love is like oxygen
    You get too much you get too high
    Not enough and you're gonna die
    Love gets you high
    Love is like oxygen
    . . .
    Time on my side
    I got it all
    I've heard that pride
    Always comes before a fall
    There's a rumour goin' round the town
    That you don't want me around
    I can't shake off my city blues
    Every way I turn I lose
    Love is like oxygen
    . . .
    Love is like oxygen
    . . .
    Time is no healer
    If you're not there
    Lonely fever
    Sad words in the air
    Some things are better left unsaid
    I'm gonna spend my days in bed
    I'll walk the streets at night
    To be hidden by the city lights
    City lights
    Love is like oxygen
    . . .
    Love is like oxygen
