    By Joel A. Klein In a stanza from, “The Young Gallants Tutor, Or, An Invitation to Mirth,” an especially lusty song from the 1670s, the anonymous author praised several particular beverages: “With love and good liquor our hearts we do cheer, Canary and Claret, Cock Ale and March beer.” While Canary Wine, Claret, and Märzenbier are still consumed today, what exactly was Cock Ale? The short answer is that it was an alcoholic beverage made from ale, sack, raisins, and the flesh of a rooster, but..

    [[alternative]]The Effects of the Combination of Traditional and Media Teaching Method on Elementary Students’ Learning of Shuttle-cock Kicking

    [[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the teaching method that combines traditional and media teaching on shuttle-cock kicking of three different elementary groups on their understanding of the shuttle-cock kicking, performance in motor skills, and learning satisfaction. Therefore, the most suitable shuttle-cock kicking teaching grade could be identified, and to promote shuttle-cock kicking, a long-history traditional folk sport. The participants were 139 elementary students (55 4th graders, 45 5th graders, and 39 6th graders) who had no prior experience in shuttle-cock kicking. During the experimental period, all participants received eight 40-minute shuttle-cock kicking lessons as well as pretests and posttests on their knowledge and motor skills. The test results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, ANOCVA and paired-samples t-test to investigate differences between and within the groups. A semi-structured interview was used to investigate the students’ learning satisfaction after the experiment. The findings were: (1) There was no significant difference between groups on the achievement on students’ knowledge of shuttle-cock kicking. (2) There was significant difference between groups on the achievement on students’ motor skills of shuttle-cock kicking. 6th graders were significantly better than 5th graders and 4th graders. (3) The teaching method that combines traditional and media teaching on shuttle-cock kicking teaching gained approval of students and motivated them to continue to participate in shuttle-cock kicking. (4) The teaching method that combines traditional and media teaching on Shuttle-cock kicking teaching was effective for students’ learning of shuttle-cock kicking knowledge and motor skills. (5) The teaching method that combines traditional and media teaching was more favorable for students than traditional teacher-oriented teaching method in physical education. (6) The more suitable shuttle-cock kicking teaching grades were grade four and grade six. The findings of this study suggested that shuttle-cock kicking should be taught on grade four and grade six. In addition, more shuttle-cock kicking teachers should be trained to promote such a good sport. Key words: the combination of traditional and media teaching method, shuttle-cock kicking knowledge, shuttle-cock kicking motor skills

    Gymelloxes juliusboosi, sp. nov. (Figs 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b, 16, 17, 18, 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d) = Aepytus terea (Schaus): Cock (2003: 50) = Gymelloxes terea (Schaus): Cock (2017: 4) Diagnosis. Gymelloxes juliusboosi, sp. nov., can be distinguished from G. terea and G. prosopus only by examination of the sternite VII and VIII and the male genitalia. In G. juliusboosi, sp. nov., the sternite VII is hourglass shaped and the sternite VIII is membranous, while in all its congeneric species the former structure is rectangular and the second is sclerotized, respectively. The unique, conspicuous, mesal process of the posterior margin of the saccus is diagnostic for G. juliusboosi, sp. nov., while in G. terea and G. prosopus, the homologous structure is represented by two short, apically flat, and peg-like projections lateral to the median (Grehan & Mielke 2017). Description. Male (Figs 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b). Head. Antenna bipectinate with ~32 antenomeres; dorsal surface with lamellate scales, dorsal apex with tuft of longer narrow scales; flagellum inner surface carpeted with sensilla trichodea, outer surface with scattered sensilla chaetica. Eyes prominent, bulging from head. Head vestiture with erect orangish-brown scales over vertex, frons, and mouthparts. Intra antenna-ocular scales short, indistinct from vertex scales. Labial palp short, covering scales short and reddish brown. Thorax. Coloured as the head. Legs. Epiphysis and arolium absent. Forewing length: 18–24 mm; wingspan: 38–49 mm. Forewing dorsally. Elongated, tornus shallow; costal margin straight, slightly concave mid-length, apex blunt, outer margin convex, inner margin slightly convex. Ground colour pale yellowish-brown to light brown; stigma light yellow; when darker markings of light grey present, then basal area distinct greyish-brown concolours to postdiscal, premarginal bands and central patch proximately greyish-brown, and about six greyish-black bands between coastal margin and Sc/Rs. Hindwing dorsally. Orangish-brown, lighter than forewing. Forewing and hindwing ventrally. Uniformly coloured, light orangish-brown, but paler than forewing and without markings. Abdomen (Figs 16–18). Dorsally as the thorax, ventrally lighter; tip of the abdomen with longer scales. Tergum VII slightly narrower and longer than tergum VI. Tergum VIII with convex posterior margin. Sternum VII rectangular and constricted at mid-length. Sternum VIII membranous (see remarks). Male genitalia (Figs 19a, 19b, 19c, 19d). Tegumen (= intermediate plate) slightly distinct, but fused to pseudotegumen and projected dorso-posteriorly to form the digitiform process with the tergal lobes and the pseudotegumen. Saccus U-shaped, projected and tapered anteriorly; anterior margin broad, posterior and lateral margins projecting ventral to form a vertical wall or shelf with a single conspicuous mesal process, apically indented. Tergal lobes sclerotized, digitiform, projected posteriorly with rounded apex, and fused to pseudotegumen. Pseudotegumen rectangular; dorsal projection as for the tegumen; ventrally fused, curved ventrally with ventral apex strongly sclerotized. Valva spatulate, inner surface densely setose, apex rounded. Fultura inferior (= juxta) sclerotized, rectangular, wider than long, lateral and posterior margins slightly concave. Fultura superior (= trulleum) partially sclerotized in two rows of two irregular shaped blotches. Phallus membranous except for distal region covered with numerous spicules. Female (Figs 9a, 9b). Examined only as a photograph. Same pattern as the male, but paler and longer forewing. Forewing length: 47 mm; wingspan: 102 mm. Geographical distribution. Gymelloxes juliusboosi, sp. nov., is only known from Trinidad and Tobago islands (Fig. 20). Ethology. All specimens at the type locality were attracted to light at dusk. Host plant. Unknown. Etymology. Gymelloxes juliusboosi, sp. nov., is dedicated to the late Julius O. Boos (Boos 2010), who shared his deep knowledge of the Lepidoptera and ecology of Trinidad with the third author. Type material. Holotype male with the following labels (separated by forward slashes): / HOLOTYPUS, Gymelloxes juliusboosi C. Mielke, Grehan & Cock des. 2018/ Aepytus (Gymelloxes) terea Schaus male, Det. M.J.W. Cock 2001/ Trinidad, W.I., Off Saunders Road, Inniss Field, c. 50 m, At beginning of track to dam, MV light, dusk- 22.10h, 17.v.1999, M.J.W. Cock [leg.]/ Illustrated in Cock (2003), Living World. Plate 1.42/ (NHMUK). Figs 7a, 7b. Paratypes (in total 3 males and 1 female). All Trinidad and Tobago. 1 male, same data as the holotype (35.247 Col. C. Mielke; CGCM)); 1 male, Trinidad, St. George Co., Curepe, MVL: 22.–31.V.1982, M. J. W. Cock leg. (CMNH); 1 female, Trinidad, Morne Bleu, Textel Installation: 5.V.1989, R. G. Brown & T. Cassie leg. (UWIZM CABI.3927); 1 male, Tobago, Charlotteville, at light: 14.–18.VI.1999, R. Hammond leg. (UWIZM). Remarks. The membranous sternite VIII present in Gymelloxes juliusboosi, sp. nov., is an apomorphy, since all other Gymelloxes spp. examined show a sclerotized and undifferentiated sternite VIII. The newly described species is recorded from Tobago (Cock 2017) as well as Trinidad. Records are from both the north and south of Trinidad, mostly from forested situations up to 700 m (Morne Bleu), but one record is from a suburban area (Curepe).Published as part of Mielke, Carlos G.
