Amida is a genus of ladybirds primarily found in Asia. A relatively small genus although new species are still being discovered and described in China and Vietnam.
Amida was an ancient city in Mesopotamia located where modern Diyarbakır, Turkey now stands. Diyarbakir is considered the unofficial capital of Turkish Kurdistan. As such, it has been a focal point for conflict between Turkey's government and its Kurdish population. The Roman writers Ammianus Marcellinus and Procopius consider it a city of Mesopotamia.
The city was located on the right bank of the Tigris. The walls are lofty and substantial, and constructed of the recycled stones from older buildings.
is a Japanese ladder climbing puzzle video game developed by Sofix and published by Coconuts Japan for the Game Boy exclusively in Japan. It was released in Japan on Oct 23, 1990 and never saw a release in another territory. The game requires players to navigate the main character safely across several pre-set bridges. Each bridge is composed of a number of obstacles that the character will blindly navigate into. The player can utilize an animated platform to redirect the main character as they move through the stage. The game features ten main levels. Each level is further sub divided into 10 separate levels (ex. 1-1, 1-2, etc.) similar to other platform games like Super Mario Bros.
