Plimut shahar Devonva eng katta shahar Angliya250 ming aholisi bo'lgan janubiy qirg'oq. Bu Londondan taxminan 310 km janubi-g'arbda, Plim daryosi va Tamar daryosi (talaffuzi "TAY-mar") Plymouth Soundning katta ko'rfaziga quyilib, mukammal tabiiy port yaratgan. Dengiz Plimutning markazida joylashgan, chunki u o'rta asrlarda savdo punkti va uning farovonligining manbai sifatida tashkil etilgan. Plimut qaysi nuqtadan edi ziyoratchilar otalari Angliyani tark etishdi uchun 1620 yilda Massachusets shtati - bugun Mayflower Steps-da xotirlandi.

Plimut - Angliyaning klassik okean shaharlaridan biri va asrlar davomida dengiz tashish markazi bo'lib kelgan; birinchi navbatda savdo va tijorat yuk tashish uchun, va bugungi kunda Qirollik dengiz floti uchun asos sifatida. Darhaqiqat, shaharning Devonport kema tersanesi G'arbiy Evropadagi eng keng dengiz bazasi hisoblanadi. Bo'sh vaqtni o'tkazish bilan suv ko'plab sayyohlarni Plimutga, shuningdek, uning turli muzeylari va boshqa sayyohlik joylariga olib keladi. Bundan tashqari, uning joylashuvi yaqin Dartmur va janubdagi Devonning boshqa diqqatga sazovor joylari sharqqa va Kornuol g'arbda uni Angliyaning janubi-g'arbiy qismiga sayohat qilish uchun ajoyib asosga aylantiradi.
Shahar Ikkinchi Jahon urushida kuchli bombardimon qilingan va shahar markazining katta qismi vayron qilingan. Urushdan so'ng, keng qamrovli rekonstruktsiya qilish rejasi dastlab shaharning 1950-yillarda qurilgan puxta rejalashtirilgan shahar maydonlarini va xarid qilish ko'chalarining oqlangan binolarini ishlab chiqardi. Biroq, byudjet cheklovlari tufayli 1960-70 yillarda qurilgan binolarning aksariyati me'morchilik sifati past bo'lgan va hozirda ular buzilib, shahar bo'ylab zamonaviy binolar bilan almashtirilmoqda (ba'zi bir sifat istisnolaridan tashqari, masalan, ro'yxatga olingan minoralar Qirollik paradidagi fuqarolik markazi). Natijada, ko'plab zamonaviy binolar, boshqalari esa qurilishi davom etmoqda.
Plimut - tengdoshlik tuyg'usi va o'z xalqi orasida ochiqlik tuyg'usiga ega bo'lgan do'stona shahar, va Angliyaning janubiy yarmining aksariyat qismida boylar va kambag'allar o'rtasida keskin bo'linishning kamroq dalillari mavjud. Ajoyib Devon va Kornuol manzaralari shaharni o'rab olgan va Xe, Barbikan va Plimut Ovozi kabi mashhur shahar joylarini har yili minglab odam jalb qiladi, ammo Plimutda boshqa ko'plab ingliz shaharlarida osilgan "sayyohlar tuzog'i" yo'q.

Shahar Devonning janubi-g'arbiy burchagida joylashgan bo'lib, Kornuol darhol shaharning g'arbiy qismida boshlanadi. U daryoning ikki og'zi orasida joylashgan - g'arbiy qismida Tamar daryosi ("TAY-mar") daryosi (daryoning og'zi Hamoaz) va sharqda Plim daryosi estaryosi ( Suv oqimi). Janubda Plimut ovozi (hamma uni shunchaki "Ovoz" deb ataydi), g'arbiy tomonda hozirgi Kornuolning bir qismi bo'lgan Rame yarimoroli va sharqda Batten tog'i yarim oroli bilan chegaralangan katta ko'rfaz. Bu dunyodagi eng ajoyib tabiiy portlardan birini ishlab chiqaradi, unda siz son-sanoqsiz yaxtalar, suzib yuradigan kemalar, baydaklar, boshqa zavqlantiruvchi hunarmandchilik va hatto kichik baliq ovlash kemalarini ko'rasiz (ulardan Plymutda juda yaxshi son mavjud). Ovoz dengizdan janubiy uchida katta qirg'oq suvi bilan himoyalangan bo'lib, uni qirg'oqdan osongina ko'rish mumkin. Uning atrofida ko'pincha dengiz kemalarini ko'rasiz.

Bu "umurtqa pog'onasi" Armada yo'li, keng piyoda ko'chada, asosan piyodalar, janubiy uchida kengash idoralari, shimol tomonga qarab do'kon va banklar va kafelar joylashgan. Armada yo'li bo'ylab sharqdan g'arbiy tomon yugurib chiqadigan boshqa zamonaviy shahar binolari, ammo xira bo'lib qolgan binolari bilan shahar markazidagi ko'chalar; Royal Parade, New George Street, Cornwall Street va Mayflower Street. Shahar markazidagi ushbu ko'chalar gavjum asosiy yo'llar bilan o'ralgan. Hoe ning sharqida Barbikan maydoni (tarixiy ko'chalari va katta porti / marinasi bilan) va Plimut Universitetining katta va ta'sirchan talabalar shaharchasi shahar markazining shimoliy-sharqidagi asosiy yo'lning narigi tomonida joylashgan. Buning ustiga boshqa yirik ko'chalarni topish mumkin.

Plimut Siti Devonning tarixiy okrugi tarkibida. Ushbu hudud birinchi bo'lib Domesday kitobida "Sudtone" (1086; keyinchalik Satton) sifatida qayd etilgan bo'lib, u bugungi kunda shaharning Barbik zonasi joylashgan joyda joylashgan. Taxminan shu vaqt ichida Plymstock savdo porti bor edi, u daryoning narigi tomonida (u hali ham shahar atrofi sifatida mavjud). Biroq, Plimstokdagi Plim daryosi XI asrda to'xtab qoldi va bu hudud asta-sekin "Plimut" nomi bilan mashhur bo'ldi. Dengiz har doim Plimut hikoyasining markazida bo'lgan va u uzoq va tarixiy dengizchilik an'analariga ega. Uning baliq ovining kichik qishlog'idan o'sishi va keyinchalik savdo porti dunyodagi eng yirik tabiiy portlardan biri va dengizchilar - baliqchilar, savdogarlar, xususiy mulkdorlar va keyinchalik Qirollik dengiz flotining korxonasida joylashgan.
Plimut Elizabethanning shaxsiy va qahramon / yovuz odamning uyi edi Ser Frensis Dreyk (garchi u bir necha mil shimolda Tavistokda tug'ilgan bo'lsa ham) va bu erdan reydlarini va boshqa dengiz sarguzashtlarini rejalashtirgan. 1588 yilda qisman Dreyk boshchiligidagi Angliya dengiz floti Plimutdan suzib, Ispaniya Armada. Aytishlaricha, Drey ketmonda piyola o'yini tugamaguncha portni tark etishdan bosh tortgan. Bu, ehtimol, tarixdan ko'ra afsona bo'lsa-da, bugungi kunda Xetda hali ham bovlar klubi mavjud. 1620 yilda Pilgrim Ota-onalar Plimutga ta'mirlash uchun kirib, diniy ta'qiblardan qochib, Massachusets shtatidagi Plimut koloniyasini tashkil etish uchun Yangi dunyoga suzib ketishdi. Plimut Angliya fuqarolar urushidagi parlament kuchlarining tayanch nuqtasi bo'lib, uning tarixi davomida Ozodlik maydonlari parki kabi joylarda yozilgan. Qayta tiklangandan so'ng, yangi qirol Charlz II katta qal'a qurishni buyurdi Royal Citadel) shaharni bosqinchilardan himoya qilish - uning strategik ahamiyati shunday edi. Ammo qal'aning qurollari ichki tomonga ham duch keldi, bu shahar aholisiga ularning sadoqati qaerda bo'lishi kerakligi haqida signal sifatida aytilgan! Qirollik qal'asida hanuzgacha armiya bo'limi joylashgan. The Qirollik tersanesi 1690 yilda Tamar daryosi bo'yida qurilgan. Plimut 1914 yilda Devonport va Stounxaus shaharlari bilan birlashib, 1928 yilda shahar maqomini olgan zamonaviy shaharni tashkil qildi. U Plimstok va Plymstockning tarixiy hududlarini o'z ichiga oladi. Plimton.
Davomida bombardimon qilish natijasida shahar jiddiy zarar ko'rdi Ikkinchi jahon urushi (1939–45) va keyinchalik shahar markazi keng ko'lamda qayta qurildi. Charlz Xochda vayron bo'lgan Charlz cherkovi ko'plab o'lganlarga yodgorlik sifatida qoldirildi. Uning ortida Drake Circus savdo markazi shaharni janubi-sharqdan ta'sirchan kirish joyi sifatida dramatik tarzda qurish uchun qurilgan. Ser Patrik Aberkrombining buyuk rejasiga binoan birinchi bo'lib shahar markazidagi savdo ko'chalari rekonstruksiya qilindi. Natijada Armada Vey, Nyu-Jorj ko'chasi va Kornuol-strit kabi ko'chalarda ko'rish mumkin bo'lgan 1950-yillardagi oqlangan katta binolar paydo bo'ldi. Biroq, bular endi tiklashga muhtoj. Qayta qurish ishlarining aksariyati 1960 va 70-yillarda shafqatsiz uslubdagi zamonaviy binolarni o'z ichiga olgan bo'lib, ularning aksariyati me'moriy ahamiyatga ega emas edi. Biroq, istisnolardan II darajadagi ro'yxatga olingan Fuqarolik Markazi ham bor edi. Ko'pgina tarixiy binolar, xususan, Barbikan hududida, shahar muzeyi kabi alohida shahar markazidagi namunalar, shuningdek, bombardimonning eng yomoni bo'lgan shahar markazidan tashqarida (masalan, Qirol Uilyam Yard) qolgan.

Plimut shahri ko'plab tosh turlarini qamrab oladi, shahar janubidagi Hoe, Devoniyaning ohaktoshidan iborat bo'lib, u shaharning juda katta qismini qurish uchun ham ishlatilgan (eski uylar va binolarning aksariyati kamida tosh). Vokzal atrofidagi devor loydan tashkil topgan bo'lib, u ham devonlikdir. Shaharning tashqi hududlari metamorflangan loy toshining tobora yuqori darajalariga ega bo'lib, tepaliklarda vaqti-vaqti bilan yostiq lava mavjud. Dartmur granitning katta batoliti (katta bo'lak), Kavsand va Kingsandda (Barbikandan parom bilan borish mumkin) turli xil magmatik tuzilmalar mavjud.

Oxir-oqibat, turgan toshni dengiz osti suvlari buzayotgani aniqlandi, shuning uchun uni 19-asrda Viktoriya dengiz chiroqlari bilan almashtirdilar va Smeaton minorasi yodgorlik sifatida Plimut Xoga ko'chirildi.

You'll likely also see yachts, sailing ships, fishing boats, and other watercraft in the Sound. You might notice the breakwater at the southern edge of the sound, with its Napoleonic fort.
- 3 Plym Valley Cycle Path, Plimton. Accessible from Plympton in the North East of the city, this path follows the Plym valley firstly alongside an old railway line and then on it through beautiful countryside all the way to Tavistock; there is very little infrastructure or facilities along the path, so any food or drink should be picked up before leaving Plymouth. There is a large Sainsbury's located at Marsh Mills, just before you reach the beginning of the cycle path. There is a viewpoint on the first large viaduct out of Plymouth overlooking a disused quarry where peregrine falcons nest in the spring.

O'rganing
Plymouth has two universities. The main university, and the one most visitors notice, is the immense University of Plymouth, with around 30,000 students. It is based on a large campus at the north-east corner of the city-centre, and puts on regular events for citizens and visitors. Even if you don't realize it, you are surrounded by its many students, particularly if you are in the city-centre, and in summer they open the halls of residence to visitors, providing good, affordable self-catering accommodation. You can walk around the impressive campus, and the Roland Levinskiy building is open to visitors to see its exhibitions, for events, and to visit the café. It stands out because of its scale, a tower of unusual shape in brown metal and glass. It became a university in 1992 having been a polytechnic for many years, but is one of the best-regarded of the former polytechnics which became universities that year. Plymouth's second university is University of St Mark & St John, usually abbreviated to "Marjon", with about 5,000 students. It is located in a northern suburb of the city, close to Dartmoor. It attained full university status in 2012 after being a university college for many years and offers an increasing number of degree programmes.
Plymouth is also home to nearly a third of all state schools in Devon, some of which are counted among the best in the country. Plymouth still has three selective grammar schools and a small independent school.
There are also a lot of private language schools, in particular in the city centre and around the railway station. Numbers swell in the summer as foreign school groups descend upon Plymouth to improve their English.
Sotib oling
This is a city from where great voyages have begun for centuries - and as no voyage can depart without supplies, there has always been a need to stock everything imaginable! Today you'll find fashion, clothing, local food and many other items.
City-centre shopping
Plymouth's city-centre shopping area is the largest and most comprehensive in the West of England outside of Bristol. Most stores as open M-Sa 9AM-5PM, Th until 8PM as late-night-shopping night, and Su 11AM-5PM. The main shopping areas are the streets of Armada Way and those running off it - the Royal Parade, New George Street, Cornwall Streetva Mayflower Street. These are housed in elegant 1950s buildings erected as part of the post-war reconstruction of the city, and mostly pedestrianised. Armada Way in particular is a broad avenue with trees, water features, and other interesting features running down the centre of the street. At the intersection of Armada Way and New George Street is the Armada Dial, a giant and striking sculpture of a sundial. However, these streets have been hit in the past few years by the closure of various major stores, including Woolworth's and the Derry's department store. It would be fair to say that these streets require some regeneration. But they are still busy during the day and especially on Saturdays, and you can find most chain stores here, as well as all the banks and some building societies that operate in England. There is a House of Fraser department stores here with entrance on Royal Parade.
- 1 Drake Circus Shopping Centre, 1 Charles St, PL1 1EA, ☏ 44 1752 223030. M-W and F Sa 9AM-6PM, Th 9AM-8PM, Su 10:30AM-4:30PM. However, many of the more upmarket stores have now moved to Drake Circus, an impressive shopping mall which opened in October 2006. There are entrances on New George Street, Cornwall Street, and Exeter Street. This is very much a 21st-century shopping facility equal to those of any other prosperous British city: Marks and Spencer, a large branch of the chemist/drugstore Boots, a Waterstone’s bookstore (with an interesting local interest section with books about Plymouth and Devon!), fashion chains Zara, Bank, Topshop/Topman, Next and River Island and numerous others, shoe shop Sole Trader, the Apple Store. There is a vast Primark and the Juice Moose. Drake Circus courted controversy on its opening, with some comparing it to malls designed in the 1980s (perhaps because car parking is on the roof), but in truth it is clean, welcoming, attractive and has a high standard of fit and finish which is comparable or better than most others in the UK.
There is no branch of John Lewis Waitrose or Ikea in the city (you have to go to Bristol for that). However, there is a Waitrose just over the Tamar Bridge, in Cornwall. There is another, older mall in the city, the Armada Centre which is on the corner of Armada Way and Mayflower Street. However, it is in decline and only features discount stores and pound-shops, though you might want to make a trip there for the big Sainsbury's supermarket.
Independent shops and markets
A visit to the independent shops in the Barbican area are a must - particularly on New Street and Southside Street. Here you'll find art and prints, antiques and collectables, and all sorts of other interesting shops - see what you can find! There are also all sorts of items on the Pannier Market which is held most days around Southside Street (this is not the same as the covered Pannier Market in the city-centre on Cornwall Street, which is usually known as the City Market). The Barbican area is also a good place for souvenirs of the city, which are also stocked at the Tourist Information Centre and the Edinburgh Woollen Mill, both near the Mayflower Steps.
Many tourists like to buy sea-themed souvenirs from their trip to Plymouth. There is a good selection at the Edinburgh Woollen Mill which is in a glass-faced shop in the Barbican, near the Mayflower Steps. Plymouth is the home of Plymouth Gin, and if you like English gin you may want to pick some up from the city it was distilled in even though the business is now owned by Pernod Ricard.
The 'Independent Quarter', to the West of the city-centre, contains smaller shops including a French-family owned bakery, a specialist pipe and tobacco shop, and many charity shops where second-hand goods donated by the public are sold to raise money for good causes.
Finally, you should pay a visit to the City Markets (previously known as the Pannier Market - but this is also the name of another at the Barbican which was confusing). The City Market is a covered indoor market of permanent stallholders similar to the St. Nicholas Markets in Bristol or the Grainger Market in Newcastle - but in an elegant modernist building constructed in the 1950s. The impressive scalloped roof fills the market with natural light. Here you'll find all manner of items for sale, including food (including produce fresh from farms in the region and freshly-caught local fish), clothing, collectables, decorative items, items for the household of all kinds, and many other things - and of generally high quality. There is no hawking or "hard sell" atmosphere as is found at some other places, nor the (albeit exciting) craziness and threat of the Camden Markets in London. Instead, there is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, as a microcosm of that in the city as a whole. Some of the shops round the outside and on the mezzanine are somewhat retro. There are also some old-style British cafés on a mezzanine floor, of the sort which have mostly disappeared from British high streets to be replaced by coffee shops. The atmosphere in the market captures the classless and community-spirited air of life in the city. The market has entrances on Cornwall Street and New George Street (at the western end of these streets) and is open 9AM-5PM most days.
Supermarketlar
If you are staying in self-catering accommodation, or just need to buy food other essential items, try the following:
- Tesco Metro has a store on New George Street (at the eastern end of the street), open 7AM to 10PM every night (except Sundays when it is 11AM to 5PM). This is a small supermarket which stocks most everyday food and other items.
- Sainsbury's has a store at the Armada Centre (entrance at the corner of Armada Way and Mayflower Street). This might be useful if you need a larger selection of items than at the Tesco Metro as it is somewhat larger. It's open 7AM to 8PM every night (except Sundays when it is 10:30AM to 4:30PM).
- The Cooperative Food has many small stores located throughout the city. These act as handy convenience-store outlets and are usually open until late. For example, stores are located at Southside Street and Hoegate Street in the Barbican, with another at Regent Street which is handy if you are staying at or near the University or its halls of residence. You'll also find them throughout the suburbs and other areas of the city.
Outside of the city centre, there is another larger Sainsbury's at Marsh Mills, an Asda in Estover (open 24 hours except Sunday) and two large branches of Tesco (one in Crownhill and one in Woolwell, the latter of which is an Extra and open 24 hours except Sunday).
Yemoq
For a city of its size, Plymouth does not have many fine restaurants, though it is home to the Tanners Restaurant run by brothers James and Chris Tanner. James is a well-known chef on British television. There are many good restaurants in the wider area. Among them: The Horn of Plenty at Gulworthy (20 miles), near Tavistock; The New Carved Angel da Dartmouth (35 miles) which was once voted the top restaurant in Britain; va Gidleigh Park Hotel da Chagford.
The Barbican has a number of restaurants and bars lined up along the quayside - notably few serve fresh locally caught fish ; a local peculiarity for a fishing city - North Sea cod is generally only served battered and fried, with chips. As with any major city, there are plenty of takeaway and fast food retailers within easy distance of most parts of Plymouth. Buying a takeaway in Plymouth can prove a cost effective alternative to a restaurant, with as many different food choices. Naturally, any visitor to the West Country should try a traditional pasty (if in Plymouth, asking for a 'Cornish' pasty may attract some derision - just say "pasty"; they iroda understand!) a meat and potato mix wrapped in pastry. Sinab ko'ring Ivor Dewdney's pasties to eat like the locals have done for over seventy years, or try the wonderfully entitled Oggy Oggy Pasty Company which has many branches, or the excellent Barbican Pasty Company on Southside Street in the Barbican area. The traditional filling is a mixture of shredded beef, swede, onion and potato, but various different flavours are available now - vegetarian fillings are often available. Traditionally, you eat by holding the thick pastry crust and eating from the soft pastry side - that kept your dirty fingers off the main part of the food if you were a miner (metal mining was big business in Devon and Cornwall in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially for tin, lead and copper) or fisherman. The thick crust meant that if you would be eating your lunch with poisonous tin or lead on your hands, you wouldn't be poisoned! Of course nowadays you can eat the whole thing, crust included!

If you're looking for a place to go out for a drink, there are two main places: the West End (especially Union Street and around Derry's Cross), and the Barbican.

However you can also find good pubs and bars in other parts of the city - including in the Mutley area, which attracts many students.

It is unlikely you'll experience any problems in Plymouth as long as you use common sense. Although certainly not the most dangerous of British cities, Plymouth has several areas which are best avoided at night, especially if you are alone. These include the area around Union Street late at night, where drinkers can get rowdy and the atmosphere can be unpleasant. It is not unusual to see drunken brawls in the Union Street area after dark. For this reason there is generally a police presence there at night.
The city has always struggled with a degree of social deprivation, with salaries still well below the national average and surrounding 'destination' towns and resorts in Devon & Cornwall themselves often patronised by incomers from wealthier regions. Beggars sometimes hang around the city centre - if asked, do not give them any money as this exacerbates the problem and your money is likely to be spent on alcohol or drugs. Avoid making eye contact with them, and if you are asked to "spare a little change please", just keep walking by while you offer a firm but polite "not today" or "no, sorry". The main police station is at Charles Cross.

- Take a boat from the Barbican in Plymouth to Cawsand, a small and very picturesque village just across the Sound in Kornuol (30 minutes). Cawsand has a small stony beach and nice pubs and cafes. From there you can walk through along the stunning South West Coastal Path via the sandy beach at Whitesand Bay, past the ancient windswept chapel at Rame Head and Napoleonic fortifications and through the beautiful 18th-century landscape of Mount Edgcumbe country park (3–4 miles) to Cremyll. You can take the Cremyll ferry back to Plymouth (get a timetable from the Tourist Information Office, but they're fairly frequent for the 10-minute trip). A fantastic day out. If you want a map, the Tourist Information Office have some or try Ordnance Survey Explorer 108 (Lower Tamar Valley and Plymouth)
- Take a bus to Wembury and walk back into Plymouth along the South West Coastal Path an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Scenically tucked away nearby are Noss Mayo and Newton Ferrers (30-min drive from Plymouth), a plutocratic ex-fishing village with a couple of well-sited up-market foody pubs by a crook in the river.
- Canoe tours Tamar Trails are a beautiful way to explore the magical winding Tamar Valley and depart from nearby Callington where you can also visit National Trust Property Cotehele, the ancient seat of the Edgcumb family.
- Antony House and Pentillie are nearby country estates in Kornuol open to visitors ; National Trust Saltram House is in Plympton, Devon with extensive landscaped gardens overlooking the Plym at Laira.
- Walk further along the South West Coastal Path. As a map try the A-Z Adventure South West Coast Path series (you can get these from city bookstores or the Tourist Information Centre at the Barbican), or an Ordnance Survey Explorer map for the area you plan to walk (e.g. Ordnance Survey Explorer 108 - Lower Tamar Valley and Plymouth).
- Try the beautiful coastal walk from Polperro to Looe (or vice versa).
- Tavistock is an attractive, historic tin-miners' town and is a good place to set as a hub for visiting Dartmoor. It can be reached by taking bus, number 83, 84 or 86. It also has an amazingly good cheese shop, [2].
- The cathedral cities of Truro, yilda Kornuol (1 hr 30 min drive, from 1-hr train - from £8 adult return), and Exeter (40-min drive, or 1-hr train - £7 adult return, or 'fast' bus from Plymouth taking around 1 hr 20 min) are worth a visit.
- About a 20-minute drive north will take you into Dartmoor National Park, where some fantastic views and walks are to be had. A good first stop would be in Princetown where the tourist information office will give you details on some recommended walks close by.
- Dartmouth a scenic town with the Royal Naval College and restaurants including the Carved Angel.
- Totnes, Salcombe va Kingsbridge are notably upmarket, bohemian communities of the South Hams to the east of the city with good restaurants and a foody, crafty, culture centred around Dartington Hall. Local wine and cheese production amid the fertile green coombes can be found at the well-known Sharpham Estate near Loddiswell.
- The Plymouth suburban rail services, such as they are, predominantly continue out of town up the Tamar Valley to the former mining districts around Calstock and Gunnislake. The journey is remarkably sedate (and therefore infrequent, since one train operates a shuttle all day), the scenery magnificent, the fares reasonable and the destination interesting. Gunnislake has good walking country, albeit with a lot of minor roads rather than minor paths, and the pubs are mostly worth a visit. There is a RailAle Trail for those planning this last option, which offers discounts on the drinks and urges responsible consumption. Owing to the rural nature of most of the line and the poor service offered to the urban stations, traffic levels are low and getting a seat will rarely be an issue for most of the day. It is a little-known route, so good for those wishing to avoid tourist hotspots.
