No full textTalorchestia morinoi Othman & Azman, 2007 Talorchestia morinoi Othman & Azman, 2007: 60, figs 1–4. Type material. Holotype, male, 9.6 mm, UKMMZ-1154. Paratypes: female, 10.2 mm, UKMMZ-1155; 2 males and 2 females AM P.72698); 15 males, 15 females UKMZ-1156. Type locality. Air Batang beach, Tioman Island, east coast Peninsular Malaysia (2°50.483'N 104°9.566'E). Habitat. Living among macroalgae in the supralittoral zone. Diagnostic description. Based on Othman & Azman, 2007: 60, figs 1–4. Antenna 2 short (shorter than first 3 pereonites) . Gnathopod 1 carpus 1.6 × as long as propodus, about 3.1 × as long as broad; propodus tapering. Gnathopod 2 merus and carpus appear to be fused; propodus about 1.8 × as long as wide, palm reaching about 50% along posterior margin, without protuberance near dactylar hinge. Epimeron 1 with 4 robust setae along ventral margin. Epimeron 3 with small subacute tooth . Uropod 2 inner ramus subequal in length to outer ramus. Uropod 3 ramus 2.7 × as long as broad. Telson with about 10 setae per lobe . Remarks. Talorchestia morinoi belongs to the group of nine species (T. brucei, T. dampieri, T. dili, T. gracilis, T. martensii, T. morinoi, T. seringat, T. sipadan and T. qeshm) without a rounded protuberance near the dactylar hinge on the palm of gnathopod 2. Talorchestia morinoi is similar to T. qeshm from the Persian Gulf. Both species have at least 10 robust setae per lobe on the telson and the dactylus of male gnathopod 2 reaching about halfway down the posterior margin of the propodus. But T. morinoi has a short second antenna (not reaching to the third pereonite, more than half body length in T. qeshm), the carpus of male gnathopod 1 is about 3 × as long as broad (2.5 × in T. qeshm), the merus and carpus of male gnathopod 2 appear to be fused in T. morinoi (although the carpus is small in T. qeshm it is distinct), the posteroventral corner of epimeron 3 has a small subacute tooth (large in T. qeshm) and the ramus of uropod 3 is free in T. morinoi (partially fused to the peduncle in T. qeshm). Distribution. Malaysia. Tioman Island, South China Sea (Othman & Azman 2007).Published as part of Azman, B. A. R., 2017, The talitrid amphipod genus Talorchestia from the South China Sea to the Indonesian Archipelago (Crustacea, Senticaudata), pp. 401-434 in Zootaxa 4319 (3) on pages 417-418, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4319.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/89224

As Lowry & Azman (2008) pointed out, <i>Gbroidea dingaalana</i> has been observed on three crinoid species: <i>Comathus briareus</i>, <i>Comatula rotalaria</i> and <i>Zygometra microdiscus</i>. The weakly developed mouthparts of <i>G. dingaalana</i> indicate that it is probably feeding on soft tissue, possibly epidermal tissue from the crinoid. This relationship appears to be very similar to that mentioned by Vader (1978) and Comely & Ansell (1988) for the uristid amphipod, <i>Euonyx chelatus</i>, which is an epiparasite of the regular sea urchin, <i>Echinus esculentus.</i></p> <p> Morphologically <i>Gbroidea dingaalana</i> appears to be most closely related to the genera <i>Cyproidea</i> and <i>Mokuoloe</i> by having similar shape and embellishment especially the rectolinear basis of pereopod 5 to 6, however both of the genera differ from the present species by having subchelate gnathopod 1. Ultimately <i>Gbroidea dingaalana</i> has no agreement with any other species shown in its unique association with the three crinoid species, apart from that it is easily distinguished by the, (1) absence of molar, (2) gnathopod 1-2 simple, (3) pereopod 5-6 basis rectolinear, (4) urosomite 1 elongate, without dorsal keel, (5) urosomite 3 not projecting over telson, (6) telson laminar, shorter than apex of uropod 3 rami.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. <i>Australia</i>.

Holotype, sex unknown, 1.9 mm, AM P70830 (in slides), Cobia Hole, Lizard Island (14°39.09’S 145°26.51’E), coarse sediment, 17 m, J.K. Lowry, 25 February 2005 (QLD 1666). Additional material examined. 1 sex unknown, AM P70799 (QLD 1654). Type locality. Cobia Hole, Lizard Island, Queensland, Australia (14°39.09’S 145°26.51’E). Etymology. This species is dedicated to Dr J.K. Lowry (The Australian Museum), collector of most of the type series for this study. Description. Based on holotype, AM P70830. Head. Head dorsal margin longer than pereonites 2 and 3 combined. Eyes large, circular. Antenna 1 slightly shorter than antenna 2; accessory flagellum 1-articulate; primary flagellum 4 articulate, each bearing a tuft of long aesthetascs ventrodistally. Antenna 2 slender, sparsely setose; gland cone stout, almost reaching distal end of peduncular article 3. Mandible molar well developed; palp absent. Maxilla 1 palp 1 articulate. Maxilla 2 outer plate longer than inner plate. Maxilliped inner plate narrow; outer plate extending beyond palp article 1; palp 4 articulate; palp article 3 with lobe on inner margin; article 4 falcate. Upper lip asymmetrically bilobed. Lower lip inner lobes undefined; shoulders of outer lobe risen, densely bristly. Gnathopod 1 scarcely subchelate; carpus gradually widening, carpal lobe extended distally to one fourth of propodus with three stout robust setae on distal margin; propodus almost straight and parallel, anterior margin with robust seta, palm with three robust setae; dactylus falcate with serrations along inner margin. Gnathopod 2 subchelate; merus subcylindrical, gradually narrowing distally, with several robust setae; carpus anterodistally produced, posterodistal end produced as gnathopod 1, with a number of robust setae along the margin; propodus as long as carpus, posterior margin gradually expanding distally with several robust setae at distal end; palm transverse; dactylus falcate with serrations along inner margin. Pereopod 3 coxa expanded, posterior margin gently concave; basis slender; merus gradually expanding on anteroproximal margin. Pereopod 4 coxa subquadrate, posterior margin extended backward; basis to dactylus slender. Pereopod 5 basis rectolinear. Pereopod 6 coxa expanded backward and downward; basis uniform in width with flange, anterior margin with several robust setae along margin; merus posterior margin gradually expanding. Pereopod 7 coxa semicircular; basis subovate, anterior margin slightly rounded with several robust setae along margin, posterior margin slightly rounded with flange; merus posterior margin gradually expanding proximally, distal extension subtriangular. Pleon. Urosomite 1 with dorsal keel. Uropod 1 well developed; extending beyond uropod 2, slender; peduncle subequal to rami in length with ventromedial process; both rami subequal to each other in length. Uropod 2 well developed; peduncle shorter than rami; outer ramus slightly longer than inner. Uropod 3 reduced; peduncle with ventromedial process; outer ramus longer than inner. Telson elongate, semioval, reaching two thirds of peduncle of uropod 3. Habitat. Coarse sediment, 17 m depth. Remarks. Narapheonoides can be easily distinguished from the remaining genera of the family Cyproideidae by these combined characters: (1) mandible with well developed molar and the absence of mandibular palp; (2) pereopod 6 basis expanded; (3) maxilla 1 palp 1-articulate; (4) urosomite 1 with keel. As mentioned by J.L. Barnard (1972), the genus Narapheonoides has the closest affinity with the Caribbean Hoplopheonoides Shoemaker, 1956, but differs from the latter in the presence of an accessory flagellum, the stronger palm of gnathopod 1 and pereopod 6 basis expanded. To date the genus contained only a single species, Narapheonoides mullaya J.L. Barnard based on material from Cape Naturaliste, Western Australia. However, the present specimen is readily distinguished from N. mullaya by having a narrower propodus and less defined palm of gnathopod 1, basis of pereopod 6 broader and by the posterodistal flange of pereopods 6 and 7. Distribution. Australia: Lizard Island, Queensland (current study).Published as part of Azman, B. A. R., 2009, Cyproideidae *, pp. 380-392 in Zootaxa 2260 (1) on pages 388-391, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2260.1.19, http://zenodo.org/record/532374
Dapur CikguRu: Better Taste / Hanis Hasanah Nor Azman
No full textBetter Taste is a sole proprietorship business that was established by Hanis Hasanah binti Nor Azman on April 15th, 2021. The nature of Better Taste's business is food, and the target market is not limited to youth, but includes people of all ages. It is because any food does not have to be age specific. Better Taste's food is suitable for all ages. The product that I have decided to focus on was Anchovy Floss or “Serondeng Ikan Bilis” that are made by Dapur CikguRu.
They are titled Dapur CikguRu and are produced by the onwer's mother. It is made using fresh ingredients, from the anchovies to the onions to the chilies, and it takes a long time to mix the anchovy floss until it is dry. As a result, patience is required. Facebook was chosen as the main platform for Better Taste to promote is because Facebook offers so many benefits and opportunities for business owners. Facebook is a low-cost marketing technique that is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses with a restricted marketing budget. Better Taste frequently posts soft sell and hard sell content on Facebook in order to engage with customers and cater to the market for product purchases
