Annual disasters and upheavals are standard topics in traditional East Asian chronicles. By June of 2020 (a gengzi 庚子 year), we had already lived through more than our share: the coronavirus pandemic, severe economic downturn, government inaction and prevarication, Princeton’s shift to online teaching, dislocation of undergraduate and graduate life, shuttering of libraries and labs, disruption to travel, study, and research for students, staff, and faculty, the brutal murder of George Floyd, and the international renaissance of the Black Lives Matter movement. invigorate campus intellectual life, completing book This spring semester, the usual hum of summer manuscripts, or starting new projects. The heaviest burden, programming and plans for next academic year grew no doubt, fell on our language instructors.

CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties. -

Paper Number: 7 January 2003 Between Globalisation and Localisation: A Study of Hong Kong Popular Music Ho Wai Chung Hong Kong Baptist University The author welcome comments from readers. Contact details: Ho Wai Chung, Department of Music & Fine Arts, Hong kong Baptist University Email: [email protected] David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI) Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) LEWI Working Paper Series is an endeavour of David C. Lam Institute for East-West Studies (LEWI), a consortium with 28 member universities, to foster dialogue among scholars in the field of East-West studies. Globalisation has multiplied and accelerated inter-cultural, inter-ethnic, and inter-religious encounters, intentionally or not. In a world where time and place are increasingly compressed and interaction between East and West grows in density, numbers, and spread, East-West studies has gained a renewed mandate. LEWI’s Working Paper Series provides a forum for the speedy and informal exchange of ideas, as scholars and academic institutions attempt to grapple with issues of an inter-cultural and global nature. Circulation of this series is free of charge. Comments should be addressed directly to authors. Abstracts of papers can be downloaded from the LEWI web page at http://www.hkbu.edu.hk/~lewi/publications.html. Manuscript Submission: Scholars in East-West studies at member universities who are interested in submitting a paper for publication should send an article manuscript, preferably in a Word file via e-mail, as well as a submission form (available online) to the Series Secretary at the address below.

This order consists of all the moths and butterflies. Cutworm moths are common throughout the world. In Canada and the United States over three thousand species are represented, from the Arctic tundra to the arid deserts of southwestern United States. Many species are found in eastern North America, but the family is best represented in the mountains and on the plateaus of western North America. CLASSIFICATION AND NOMENCLATURE In zoology, classification is the systematic arrangement of animals into related groups and categories, and nomenclature is the system of names given to these groups. The cutworm moths are insects that belong in the class Insecta. Insecta is divided into several orders: Diptera, the true flies: Hymenoptera. the wasps, bees, and ants: Coleoptera. the beetles, and so on. The order Lepidoptera includes all the moths and butterflies. Each order is divided into a number of families, and the Noctuidae family, which includes all the cutworm moths, is a family of the Lepidoptera. -
KIT CHAN One of the Most Established and Multi-Faceted Artists
KIT CHAN One of the most established and multi-faceted artists in Singapore, Kit Chan is often dubbed Singapore's "national treasure". Since her debut in 1993, she has been a trailblazer who has proven herself in diverse areas including singing, theatre, television drama, poetry, songwriting, entrepreneurship, creative direction and community work. In 1994, Kit propelled Singapore’s pop music into the region when she took the Taiwanese market by storm with the album " 心痛" ( Heartache ) and went on to establish herself in the scene as a powerhouse songstress. A dynamic performer, Kit took her performances to many parts of Asia, the USA, Korea, and New Zealand. She has collaborated with symphonies and orchestras in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, winning numerous musical awards and accolades in Asia. Kit earned her moniker as Singapore’s “national treasure” when she became the first artist to do a solo performance of the National Day Parade theme song “Home” ( 家) in 1998. Her status as a national icon was further affirmed when she was appointed World Vision Singapore’s first celebrity goodwill ambassador, the National Youth Council’s first Youth Ambassador, followed by many firsts in her enduring career. In 2004, Kit took a hiatus from her illustrious performing career to further her studies, and hit the headlines when she joined prestigious international PR consultancy Hill & Knowlton as their Campaign Specialist in 2007. Even during the long break from her performing career, Kit was invited to front the first-ever Singapore Day in New York City in 2007. After her corporate sojourn, Kit performed the commissioned theme song “ One World ” at the APEC 2009 Gala Night before prominent world leaders, and made her much-anticipated return to the stage as leading lady (Li Qing) in the highest grossing Mandarin musical to-date in Singapore, “ 雨季” ( December Rains ) at Esplanade Theatre in 2010. -
Oenothera Biennis )
Wageningen University Laboratory of Entomology Plant genotype affects the herbivore community of evening primrose (Oenothera biennis ). Camille Ponzio Msc Plant Science April- August 2010 Report no. 010.22 Thesis ENT-80424 1st examiner : Marcel Dicke 2nd examiner : Jennifer Thaler Summary Intraspecific variation within a single plant species plays a key role in determining its associated arthropod diversity and community composition. In a field experiment I replicated 6 genotypes of evening primrose ( Oenothera biennis ) on which 5 treatments were equally applied (including herbivory from two leaf chewers) and looked at the abundance of the 10 most common insect species. While the effects of genotype on the herbivore community associated to evening primrose had already been in part documented in previous studies, the novelty of this study is that it showed that genotypic variation in evening primrose had differential effects on the generalist and specialist herbivores. Generalists tended to prefer genotypes which had been previously shown to be highly attractive to herbivory to the generalist Japanese beetle ( Popillia.japonica ) Specialists on the other hand avoided these genotypes and were highly abundant on the genotypes which are usually avoided by Japanese beetles. Variation in several plant traits could in part explain the variation in abundance, notably for the specialists. The phenolic compound Oenothein B, nitrogen content, water content and trichome characteristics accounted for 73 to 93% of the variation in the abundance of specialists. While no significant effects could be seen on the generalists, several trends indicated that the plant traits may correlate in the opposite direction with generalists. While the original goal of this study was to investigate the effects of herbivore induced plant responses on the insect community, remarkably the treatments had very little significant effects on a majority of the insects, with only the specialist primrose weevil (Acanthoscelidius acephalus ) showing a preference for plants damaged by conspecifics. -
