Tanglung Cina

Tanglung merupakan satu elemen kebudayaan masyarakat Cina semenjak tahun 250 SM lagi.
Dalam masyarakat Cina, tanglung bukan hanya perhiasan. Ia digunakan dalam majlis tertentu untuk mengalu-alukan tetamu, untuk menghebahkan kelahiran, kematian, atau amaran bahaya.
Warna serta tempat di mana tanglung digantung membawa makna tertentu. Contohnya, mereka yang baru menyambut kelahiran bayi atau perkahwinan akan menggantung tanglung berwarna merah di pintu rumah. Ini sebagai tanda kemeriahan dan kegembiraan kerana warna merah membawa maksud tenaga dan kecergasan.
Tanglung merah juga digunakan semasa perayaan atau keraian, seperti perayaan Tahun Baru Cina.
Bentuk asal tanglung tidak banyak berubah dari dahulu. Kebiasaannya tanglung diperbuat daripada kertas dan rangkanya daripada buluh. Tetapi ada juga tanglung diperbuat dari sutera dan kain.
Semasa pemerintahan Dinasti Song, tanglung-tanglung diperbuat dari kaca dan permata digunakan sewaktu menyambut pesta dan perayaan. Di negara China, tanglung yang mudah dan ringkas bentuknya digunakan untuk menerangi jalan masuk ke rumah, digantung di tiang sampan, di luar rumah, dan kedai. Kanak-kanak sekolah juga diajar membuat tanglung.
Semasa musim luruh, mereka mengadakan pesta tanglung sebagai tanda berakhirnya musim Tahun Baru Cina dan meraikan kedatangan cahaya dan musim bunga.
Tanglung yang berbagai-bagai bentuk dan warna digantung di merata-rata tempat.
Di Malaysia, disambut pada hari ke-15 bulan pertama Tahun Baru Cina iaitu semasa bulan penuh.
Sudah menjadi tradisi masyarakat Cina menggantung tanglung semasa malam bulan penuh ini. Kadang-kadang mereka menulis puisi dan teka-teki pada tanglung-tanglung dan cuba menyelesaikannya.
Tahun Baru

Tahun Baru ialah peristiwa yang diadakan apabila sesuatu budaya meraikan berakhirnya satu tahun dan bermulanya tahun berikutnya. Budaya-budaya yang mengikut kalendar tahunan semuanya menyambut Tahun Baru.
Berikut ialah tarikh-tarikh sambutan moden yang terpenting, disusun mengikut kalendar Barat biasa.
—
Kalendar Rom purba cuma ada sepuluh bulan dan tahunnya bermula pada 1 Mac, kesannya masih terlihat pada nama beberapa bulan yang berasal daripada bahasa Latin: September (ketujuh), Oktober (kelapan), November (kesembilan), Disember (kesepuluh). Sekitar tahun 713 SM, bulan-bulan Januari dan Februari ditambah oleh raja kedua Numa Pompilius, beserta bulan lompat Intercalaris. Tahun yang digunakan dalam tarikh ialah tahun konsul yang bermula pada hari apabila konsul-konsul mula memegang jawatan — ditetapkan oleh undang-undang pada 15 Mac 222 SM[1], sebelum dibawa ke 1 Januari pada tahun 153 SM. Pada tahun 45 SM, Julius Caesar memperkenalkan kalendar Julian dan menggugurkan Intercalaris; namun begitu, 1 Januari tetap dijadikan hari pertama tahun baru.
Masa yang agak lama berlalu sebelum 1 Januari diterima secara meluas sebagai permulaan tahun baru. Tahun-tahun penerimaan adalah seperti berikut:
Malam Tahun Baru Cina

Malam Tahun Baru Cina ialah hari sebelum Tahun Baru Cina. Menyambut Malam Tahun Baru Cina selalu menjadi hal keluarga di China, ia merupakan hari majlis perjumpaan bagi setiap keluarga Cina. Sambutan ini telah berkembang dalam tempoh masa yang panjang. Asal usul Malam Tahun Baru Cina dapat dijejak semula pada 3500 tahun yang lalu. Malam Tahun Baru Cina berasal di Dinasti Shang (1600 – 1046SM), apabila orang Cina mengadakan upacara korban sebagai penghormatan sempena dewa dan keturunan pada penghujung setiap tahun. Kemudian di Dinasti Zhou (1046 – 256SM), frasa “Nian (Tahun)” muncul dan kemudian amalan budaya tertentu menjadi popular dalam kalangan orang Cina seperti menghantar dewa pintu, membakar buluh.
Memandangkan orang Cina menggunakan takwim qamari, tiada tarikh tetap bagi Malam Tahun Baru Cina. Berikut adalah jadual bagi tarikh Malam Tahun Baru Cina dari 2000 hingga 2020.
Amalan Malam Tahun Baru Cina ialah kelompok sejarah dan tradisi perayaan ini selama beribu-ribu tahun, terdapat banyak amalan di China yang berbeza-beza kerana orang di rantau yang lain mempunyai adat yang berbeza. Kebanyakan amalan wujud selama beribu-ribu tahun dan masih digunakan pada masa ini.
Orang Cina di Melaka

Orang Cina Melaka berasal daripada keturunan pengikut-pengikut Puteri Hang Li Poh yang datang ke Melaka untuk berkahwin dengan Sultan Mansur Syah dan sebahagian dari mereka juga adalah keturunan daripada kaum Cina yang datang beramai-ramai ke Tanah Melayu sewaktu pemerintahan Inggeris, untuk bekerja di lombong-lombong bijih timah. Mereka datang ke sini untuk mencari kehidupan yang lebih baik, tambahan pula kerajaan China pada masa itu menggalakkan penduduknya berhijrah ke negara lain kerana masalah kepadatan penduduk di negara mereka. Kebanyakan orang Cina di Melaka menjalani kehidupan sebagai peniaga, tidak kira perniagaan besar ataupun kecil kerana minat mereka dalam perniagaan telah sebati dengan jiwa mereka berbanding masyarakat lain.
Kebanyakan kaum Cina di Melaka berbangsa Hokkien dan beragama Buddha. Mereka merupakan masyarakat yang berpegang teguh pada pegangan agama yang telah diwarisi sejak turun-temurun dari nenek-moyang mereka. Namun terdapat juga masyarakat Cina yang menganut agama lain seperti Kristian dan Konfusianisme. Masyarakat Cina berpegang teguh terhadap kepercayaan bahawa roh nenek-moyang perlu dipuja kerana mereka merupakan golongan yang telah banyak berjasa kepada keturunannya. Oleh itu, setiap ahli keluarga mengadakan beberapa upacara sebagai memperingati nenek-moyang mereka terutama yang telah lama meninggal dunia.
Antara beberapa cara untuk menunjukkan kasih sayang ahli keluarga terhadap nenek-moyang mereka ialah dengan mengeluarkan belanja yang besar bagi menyediakan upacara pengkebumian yang baik oleh keluarga, berkabung seperti yang teradat dan yang telah diperintahkan, menziarahi dan membersihkan kubur dan bersembahyang sekurang-kurangnya ketika perayaan Cheng Beng pada awal bulan April dan pada Tahun Baru Cina serta menyediakan tempat persembahan untuk keluarga, membakar gaharu, jamuan buah-buahan dan makanan.
Setiap tahun, mereka merayakan Tahun Baru Cina yang jatuh pada hari pertama dalam kalendar Cina. Pada hari istimewa tersebut, seluruh kaum keluarga akan berkumpul untuk makan bersama serta mengunjungi keluarga dan sahabat handai. Perayaan Chap Goh Mei pula disambut pada hari yang kelima belas selepas Tahun Baru Cina, dan menandakan tamatnya perayaan bagi tahun itu dan biasanya diakhiri dengan upacara sembahyang untuk memuja dewa-dewi. Sementara Hari Wesak pula disambut bagi memperingati tiga peristiwa penting yang berlaku dalam hidup pengasas agama Buddha, iaitu kelahiran, makrifat, serta kematiannya. Pada hari tersebut, semua penganut agama Buddha pergi beramai-ramai ke kuil untuk bersembahyang dan ada sesetengah kuil yang mengadakan ceramah tentang pelajaran agama Buddha.
Tarian yang popular di kalangan masyarakat Cina ialah tarian Singa dan tarian Naga yang ditarikan pada hari perayaan seperti Tahun Baru Cina, dengan cara mengunjungi setiap rumah dan kedai untuk memberi berkat kepada tuan punya.
Hanfu

Hanfu ([Tulisan Cina Ringkas|Cina Ringkas]: 汉服; Cina Tradisional: 漢服; "Pakaian Han"), juga dikenali sebagai Hanzhuang (漢裝) ataupun Huafu (華服), ialah pakaian tradisional untuk kaum Han. Perkataan Hanfu berasal daripada Buku Han.
Dalam zaman moden ini hanfu dipakai oleh golongan peminat hanfu ataupun sejarah Cina pada perayaan-perayaan istimewa.
Semenjak dari dinasti Song dan Yuan, rekod rasmi mula menggunakan istilah "Hanfu" untuk menunjukkan pakaian kaum Han. Pada dinasti Liao, maharaja Liao dan kalian pegawai Han memakai Hanfu, manakala maharani dan kalian pegawai Khitan memakai pakaian kebangsaan sendiri. Pada dinasti Yuan, pegawai telah merekodkan "Hanfu" dalam Sejarah Liao.
Istilah "Hanfu" ialah untuk menunjukkan sistem pakaian kaum Han. Walaupun istilah ini tidak sentiasa digunakan oleh golongan Han, namun ia lebih sentiasa digunakan oleh kumpulan etnik dan negara lain. Tujuan tersebut adalah untuk membezakan sistem pakaian Han dengan sistem pakaian kebangsaan sendiri.

Pekan Cina, Brisbane

Pekan Cina adalah kawasan di Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia. Ia berpusat di Chinatown Mall, sebuah jalan pejalan kaki yang menduduki semua Jalan Duncan. Mall berjalan selari dengan Brunswick Street Mall, dan menghubungkan Jalan Wickham dan Jalan Ann. Presint adalah lokasi restoran dan kedai Cina, dan merupakan tempat untuk acara termasuk Tahun Baru Cina dan Valley Fiesta. Tanda jalan di kawasan itu ditulis dalam Bahasa Inggeris dan Cina.
Kemasyhuran Pekan Cina dengan orang Cina Australia telah menurun dalam dua dekad yang lalu, dan Sunnybank dilihat sebagai hab budaya Cina di Brisbane. Ia juga merupakan rumah kepada banyak restoran yang menawarkan masakan Cina, Korea, Indonesia, Jepun, Thailand dan Vietnam. Sifat pan-Asianya juga ditekankan melalui penganjuran banyak perayaan Asia termasuk perayaan tahunan India, Diwali.
Chinatown Mall dibuka secara rasmi oleh Datuk Bandar Sallyanne Atkinson pada 29 Januari 1987, hari pertama Tahun Arnab. The Mall was designed by architects and engineers from Guangzhou, and was intended to reflect Tang architecture.
Pada tahun 1995 sebahagian daripada Jackie Chan's First Strike (1996) digambarkan di Mall. Pemandangan ini mengejar kereta dan letupan. Pagoda Mall telah musnah semasa penggambaran dan kemudiannya dibina semula.
Majlis Bandaraya Brisbane memulakan pengubahsuaian Chinatown Mall pada tahun 2009. Projek ini, yang direka oleh Urbis, menelan kos $8,000,000. Mall itu sepatutnya selesai pada September 2009 tetapi ditangguhkan, dibuka semula pada 14 Februari 2010.

Jalan Tun Perak

Jalan Tun Perak dahulunya Jalan Mountbatten (1961–1981) Mountbatten Road (1946–1961) dan Java Street (1889–1946) adalah jalan utama di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Jalan ini merupakan antara jalan yang tertua di pusat bandar Kuala Lumpur.
Sementara kaum Cina menetap di sebelah timur kuala Sungai Gombak dan Klang, orang Melayu menetap di utara kuala sungai. Justeru, penamaan Java Street (atau Jalan Jawa) dan Malay Street (kini Jalan Melayu) berdekatan. Kongsi Boyan (tempat kediaman perkauman) pernah terletak di sepanjang Jalan Jawa dan di utara jalan itu terdapat sebuah kampung yang dipanggil sebagai Kampong Rawa. Jalan pendek berhampiran tanah perkuburan Melayu itu, di mana Masjid Jamek kini berdiri, berkembang menjadi salah satu jalan perniagaan paling sibuk di bandar ini pada awal abad ke-20, mungkin menyaingi Petaling Street ketika itu. Sementara Petaling Street memenuhi keperluan Cina, Jalan Jawa menjadi syurga membeli-belah untuk orang Eropah yang, pada tahun-tahun awal Kuala Lumpur, juga melakukan membeli-belah mereka di Market Street (kini Leboh Pasar Besar).
Walaupun begitu, The Malay Mail melaporkan pada 25 November 1903 yang:
Jalan Jawa kemudiannya dinamakan Mountbatten Road sempena Laksamana Armada Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten, Earl Mountbatten Pertama Burma sekitar tahun 1946 dan kedai-kedai mewah seperti Robinson’s, Whiteaways Laidlaw, John Little dan Gian Singh beroperasi di sana. Hari-hari Krismas menjadi agak meriah kerana seluruh jalan itu dihiasi dengan lampu berwarna-warni dan bermacam perhiasan. Lama kelamaan, popularitinya sebagai kawasan membeli-belah merosot. Robinson’s ditutup dan bangunan megah telah dirobohkan untuk memberi laluan kepada Bank Perdagangan Bumiputra. Whiteaways dan rumah kedai yang bersebelahan juga mengalah kepada pemodenan. Ketika menurunnya perniagaan di Jalan Mountbatten, keadaan berbeza pula di jirannya Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, yang menjadi lubuk emas di Kuala Lumpur.
Pada 1981, Jalan Mountbatten dinamakan semula sebagai Jalan Tun Perak dalam usaha kerajaan menasionalisasikan nama-nama jalan daripada nama-nama Inggeris kepada nama berunsurkan sejarah tempatan.
Digliserida

Digliserida atau diasilgliserol (DAG) merupakan gliserida yang mengandungi dua rantaian asid lemak yang diikat secara kovalen kepada molekul gliserol melalui rangkaian ester.

List of Paper Mario characters

The following is a list of characters from the Paper Mario series of video games, a spinoff of the Mario franchise in which the characters are, or can become, 2D paper cutouts.
The first two Paper Mario games were noted for introducing unique, original companions that were either existing Mario races or related to the Mario universe, with well-known examples being Goombella, a student Goomba, Madame Flurrie, and Vivian. However, after Thousand-Year Door, the series largely moved away from this in favor of using existing characters or introducing new characters unrelated to the Mario universe. This restriction was dubbed the "Mario mandate" by fans and critics and was controversial due to causing characters to lack uniqueness. However, the 2024 remake of The Thousand-Year Door featured a purple Toad with a unique design, which seemed to contradict such a mandate and was cited as evidence that the restrictions could be loosening.
Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Luigi are the four playable characters in the Paper Mario series. Matt Casamassina of IGN notes that the main characters are "all fun to play for different reasons" and that the ease of moving between playable characters "is a plus since there are some well-designed puzzles that require you to use two or more of the heroes to continue forward."
In his adventures, Mario is assisted by various partners.
The Star Spirits are a group of deity-like beings that reside in Star Haven in the heavens and watch over the Mushroom Kingdom, granting the wishes of good people using the Star Rod. They also possess the power to neutralize the Star Rod's power should it fall into the wrong hands. In Paper Mario, Bowser steals the Star Rod and captures the Star Spirits, turning them into cards and having his most powerful followers guard them. They also appear in Mario Party 5.
In the first three Paper Mario games, Mario and his friends are assisted by a character named Merlon, as well as his similarly named family.
Kammy Koopa is an old female Magikoopa, and head advisor to Bowser.
Rawk Hawk is a boss based on Hulk Hogan who can be fought at the Glitz Pit.
Count Bleck, originally known as Lord Blumiere, is the presumed main antagonist of Super Paper Mario, who seeks to use the Chaos Heart to destroy all dimensions.
GameAxis Unwired praised the characters as "colorful".
Paper Dragon

"Paper Dragon" is a song by Australian singer Dami Im. The song was announced on 31 August 2020 and released on 18 September 2020. The song is the first by Im on the ABC Label, following a successful run with Sony and a number of self-released singles throughout 2019 and 2020. It was written by Im and Eleanor Witt, and produced by Konstantin Kersting.
The track was originally intended to be Im's entry for Eurovision – Australia Decides, in an attempt to represent Australia at Eurovision 2021, but with the cancellation of the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Montaigne's internal selection for the 2021 event, Im "decided to release the song anyway".
The song did not enter the ARIA top 100, but debuted at number 1 on the Australian Independent chart.
A piano version was released on 9 October 2020.
In an album review of My Reality in November 2021, David from auspOp called "Paper Dragon" the album highlight.
Im worked with an Italian stop-motion animator, who created the whole video using paper cutouts. The music video was directed by Stefano Bertelli at Seen Film Studio and premiered on 17 September 2020.

There, Eleni and many other girls work as prostitutes. They stray from God's path, but they are sensitive and kindhearted. Each of them has her own story: Eleni, the protagonist, originates from Romania and travelled to Greece looking for a better life; however, because of choices she has made, she is now the most famous of the prostitutes. Anna is a young woman in love with Captain Nicholas. She has a child with him, but he doesn't know. Mary (Mairi Chronopoulou) is the eldest of them and the most "masculine" in manners. A young customer named Angelos falls in love with her, and soon they begin a passionate love affair. Marina, a girl from a village far away from Athens, is madly in love with Doris, her "manager." All of them work in the home of Madam Pari (Despo Diamantidou), a professional madam and former prostitute herself. Katerina is a kindhearted, poor, abused, and ignored cleaning woman and servant there. She is married to an old man who is institutionalized. Michalis is Eleni's "manager" and also in love with her; however, she hates him.
Soon, another woman joins their "home." Myrsine is a 16-year-old girl who becomes one of them after being pursued by a cop. Michalis tries to seduce her but doesn't succeed. After Captain Nicholas leaves, Anna tells Helen that she has a child with him and that no one knows. Anna then tells her son Alex the truth about his father and waits for Captain Nicholas' return. On Christmas Eve, Angelos proposes to Mary, but she laughingly rejects him. Doris leaves Marina, who is crying and screaming, threatening to kill herself.
Eleni arrives at the Christmas party after having had a romantic dinner with Petros. Petros follows her, and when he discovers her secret, he beats her. Crying, she tries to explain everything, but he leaves crying, too. After everything that's happened, The Red Lanterns close down. Anna awaits a letter from Captain Nicholas, but she discovers that the entire Eternal Ship crew, including Captain Nicholas, died in a storm. Mary, Marina, and Myrsine try to find a place of their own so they can continue working. Michalis once again tries to seduce Eleni, but she and Petros reunite and are happier than ever. The movie ends with Katerina leaving the Red Lanterns with her husband, poor but happy. He asks her, "Isn't life beautiful?" to which she responds, "It's fine."

Tealive

Tealive is a Malaysian tea beverage chain established in 2017. It is owned by Loob Holding Sdn. Bhd. It was founded as a demerger of the then-existing Malaysian franchise network of Taiwanese company Chatime after long-standing disagreements between both Loob and Chatime over brand royalties and supply chain management. It has since spread as the largest lifestyle tea brand in Southeast Asia with branches in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. As of 2023, Tealive has over 800 branches throughout Malaysia. Among the items sold at Tealive are pearl milk tea and various flavored teas.

Chief Executive Officer, Bryan Loo launched the brand at the Pavilion KL store near the exact spotwhere he introduced the brewed tea before opening 165 branches by the end of 2016. Tealive previously known as Chatime and Cha means tea in Chinese. So Chatime means tea time. However, in early 2017, La Kaffa International, the parent company of Chatime decided to terminate its deal with Loob Holdings, a Bryan Loo company. The agreement between LaKaffa and Loob, was terminated due to Taiwan's disagreement over the business direction of Chatime in Malaysia. Two months after losing his Chatime franchise, Loob Holding CEO Bryan Loo started his own brand, Tealive, which opened its first international outlet in Vietnam recently.
The first Tealive branch in Malaysia was founded at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on February 26, 2017. It was launched by Bryan Loo three months after the closure of 165 Chatime branches in 2016. It also introduced four new menus: Signature Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea, Roasted Milk Tea with Handmade Pearls, Signature Passion Fruit Green Tea, and Grapefruit Chia Tea Booster.
On September 25, 2022, Tealive opened its 800th branch in Batu Kawan, Penang, with plans to reach 1000 branches by 2024. In early 2019, Tealive launched its first drive-thru branch in collaboration with Petronas in Subang Jaya, Selangor.
On June 27, 2018, the Court of Appeal ordered Tealive, owned by Loob Holdings Sdn Bhd, to close all its operations after being found guilty against Chatime, owned by La Kaffa International Co Ltd from Taiwan. This was because La Kaffa claimed that Tealive had violated the agreement as its franchise and had altered the drink ingredients without La Kaffa's approval as the parent franchise company.

Le Travel Store

Le Travel Store, based in San Diego, California, was a retail store that sells travel gear. Founded in 1976, Le Travel Store claims to be the first business to call itself a "travel store," and, the first retail store to cater to backpackers and other independent travelers, selling luggage, travel accessories, guidebooks, maps, and backpacks in a single retail location.
Joan and Bill Keller opened the first Le Travel Store in Pacific Beach in November 1976 after noticing that independent travelers going to Europe, Asia, and Latin America were often using outdoor gear such as backpacks rather than more traditional luggage, but that no retail businesses were specifically geared towards these independent backpackers. The founding of Le Travel Store coincided with an increase in the popularity and feasibility of independent travel, which was also gave rise to numerous other companies, such as Lonely Planet, Eagle Creek, and STA Travel, that sought to cater to these travelers.
Le Travel Store was one of the original tenants when Horton Plaza opened in 1985, and then in 1994, it was one of the first retail businesses to move into San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter during that neighborhood's urban renewal. Since its early days, Le Travel Store has done mail order business, at first with a print catalog, and then, from 1996 on, at its ecommerce website.
Le Travel Store closed its doors in 2013 when the owners retired.

The company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008, but was unsuccessful in its attempts to reorganize and emerge from bankruptcy. In 2010, it was liquidated and its map assets and domain name were sold to East View Cartographic in Minnesota.
East View Map Link acquired Benchmark Maps in 2024.

German Armed Forces Badge of Marksmanship

The German Armed Forces Badge for Weapons Proficiency (German: Schützenschnur) is a decoration of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The decoration is awarded to German military personnel of all grades but is only allowed to be worn by enlisted members. The German armed forces regulations point out that "the Schützenschnur is a decoration for weapons proficiency for enlisted soldiers." Officers can receive the award, although it is not currently authorized to be worn on their uniforms. Foreign military members also may be awarded the badge. The German military regulation on officers still applies, permitting only enlisted members to wear the badge.
The history of the Schützenschnur dates back to the Eighty Years' War where Spanish troops were ordered to hang any Dutch person who carried a musket. Therefore Spanish musketeers began to carry ropes which were often carried over one shoulder. Awarding a cord as a decoration began in the early 18th century in Prussia under Frederick William I of Prussia.
With the reorganization of the Prussian Army under Gerhard von Scharnhorst the Schützenschnur became an official military award.
The Reichswehr and later the Wehrmacht adapted the Schützenschnur as an award for proficiency in marksmanship. The award existed in 12 different levels with different versions for infantry and armored troops.
In 1957 the Bundesgrenzschutz introduced the Schützenschnur.
A similar decoration existed within the East German National People's Army and the Border Troops of the German Democratic Republic.
To earn the award one must successfully shoot weapons from all three classes:
The awarded grade is determined by the lowest weapon qualification (e.g. if you qualify all gold and one bronze, you are awarded the bronze.).
The number of exercises depends on the chosen (or ordered) weapon and the grade of the badge. A member of the medical branch, for example, can reach the bronze badge by two exercises with the pistol. A paratrooper needs for the gold badge one exercise with the G36 rifle (or three with the G3 rifle) AND two with the MG3 machine gun (or two with the Panzerfaust).
The German Armed Forces Badge for Weapons Proficiency in Gold is awarded with the number 5, 10, 15 etc. for annually retaking.
Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey

Fishdom H2O: Hidden Odyssey is a hidden treasure hunting game released on April 10, 2009 by Russian studio Playrix. The game was originally released for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computers, but was later released for the Nintendo 3DS on July 4, 2013 in North America. The game has the player go through the game as Jennifer (Jennie), an intern at a marine biology institute. Her grandpa, called Grandpa Jack throughout the game, says that she should create fish tanks with unique fish and decorations over her summer break in order to impress her boss, Old Barny. The game then has you dive for hidden treasure in various levels. The items the player must find are taken off of a list given to the player by Grandpa Jack. When all of the items are found, the player is rewarded with various amounts of money based on the speed of the items found and how many hints were used. The money you gain from diving can be used to purchase fish, decorations, and equipment (filter for the tank, fish vitamins, etc.).
The player must dive for treasure in 5 different levels and retrieve 12 items on a list given to them by Grandpa Jack. The game has over 1000 items, though sometimes different lists will have the same items. When all 12 items on the list have been found the player is rewarded with money. The amount of money depends on the speed that all of the items were found and how many hints were used. The money that the player receives is used to buy fish, decorations, and equipment. The aquarium has three meters, fish, beauty, and comfort. Fish fill up the fish meter, decorations fill up the beauty meter, and equipment fill up the comfort meter. Once all three meters have been filled, the player is rewarded a trophy for that tank. Then, the meters reset, and you have to buy even more items, fish, and equipment to fill them back to 100%. In order to fill the fish meter the second time, the player must buy at least 10 fish, though more expensive fish fill up the meter faster. To fill the beauty meter to 100%, the player must buy all decorations available for that tank, and the same goes for the comfort meter. Each tank can only have one of each decoration and piece of equipment, though you can have unlimited fish. There are three tanks in the game, Hawaiian Vacation, Jolly Roger, and Wild West. Each aquarium has its own set of decorations and fish, though equipment remains the same. In addition to the classic treasure hunt mode, when the player dives for treasure, they will sometimes randomly be assigned a speed challenge mode, where faster finding means much more money, a collection mode where the player must find 10 of the same item in a time limit, and gold rush, where the player gets as money gold items as possible. Gold rush rewards much more money than the other modes, but is the most uncommon mode to get.
Balikutsa

Ang balikutsa, binabaybay ding balikucha o balicucha, ay isang uri ng tradisyonal na binatak na kending asukal mula sa Pilipinas. Ginagawa ito sa pagpapakulo ng purong katas ng tubo o asukal na kristal (karaniwan, maskabado o asukal ng palma) hanggang sa makaramelisa ito at maging sirup. Pagkatapos, ito ay hinahatak at itinutupi nang paulit-ulit sa isang pako hanggang maging parang puting krema ang kulay nito. Hinahati ang nagresultang mga lubid ng kendi at kinukulot ang mga ito sa mga magkabilang dulo, na nagreresulta sa isang natatanging hugis na kahawig ng pasteleryang palmier. Hinahayaang matuyo ang mga ito sa ilalim ng araw bago ibenta.
Maaaring kainin ang mga ito nang ganoon na lamang, at sikat itong kendi sa mga bata. May matigas at magaspang na tekstura ang mga ito na natutunaw sa bibig. Ginagamit ang mga ito para patamisin ang mga maiinit na inumin tulad ng kape, tsokolate, at tsaa, dahil agad na natutunaw ang mga ito. Maaari ring tunawin muli ang mga ito para maging sirup na pampatamis sa mga panghimagas tulad ng karioka (mga pritong bola ng malagkit).
Ang balikutsa ay katulad ng tira-tira ng Katagalugan (na tinatawag ding balikutsa) at butong-butong ng Kanlurang Kabisayaan, ngunit nagkakaiba sila sa paraan ng paghuhubog: ang tira-tira ay hinuhubog sa hugis ng maliliit na patpat, samantalang ang butong-butong naman ay hinuhubog nang paikid. Sa Kabisayaan at Mindanao, tumutukoy ang balikutsa sa ginaok, isang tradisyonal na kending maligat na gawa sa pinatigas na gata at nilutong asukal.
Ipinagdiriwang ang balikutsa sa taunang Pista ng Balikutsa ng bayan ng Santa Maria, Ilocos Sur tuwing mga buwan ng Marso at Abril.
