Custody Of Children

Various communities in South Africa practise the custom of lobolo (payment in kind or cash by a prospective husband or the head of his family to the head of the prospective wife’s family in consideration of a customary marriage). These communities may be divided into two groups, those practicing theleka (the withholding of a wife by her father or guardian from her husband to coerce him to pay the outstanding lobolo) and those that do not. In the communities practising theleka the amount of lobolo is not fixed and the father or guardian of the wife may from time to time theleka the wife and demand one to three head of cattle from his son-in-law. The wife and her children, if there are any, may be held by their maternal grandfather until the payment of lobolo has been met. The main issue this article examines is whether the custom of theleka impacts on the custody of children or not. It also examines the concept of the best interests of the child and finds that theleka custom in its current form does impact on the custody of the child and conflicts with the child’s best interests. The article suggests that theleka custom needs to be developed to conform to the Constitution. It also examines whether or not the custom of theleka constitutes abduction and family violence. The writer submits that it does not constitute abduction and family violence and advocates that theleka custom be allowed to continue.

Chapter 3 continues the backstory to Innovation 25 and Prime Minister Abe’s plans to robotize Japan. The fictional ethnography of the Inobe family included in Innovation 25, which was expanded and published as a book, is translated and critiqued. Comparisons are drawn between the three-generation Inobe family and a wartime predecessor, the Yamato family. Eminent cartoonist Hasegawa Machiko was among the cartoonists who created the Yamato family comic, and her popular postwar comic strip Sazae-san is presented as another model for the invention of the Inobe family. In this context, parallels between Prime Minister Abe and his maternal grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, an influential wartime politician and postwar prime minister, are drawn with reference to the applications of technology and soft power.

Three Sisters

In the late nineteenth century after schooling in England, three sisters returned to their birthplace, Fuzhou, China to become CMS missionaries. They were the daughters of the “Fukien Moses,” Archdeacon J. R. Wolfe and his wife Mary, and cousins of the author’s maternal grandfather. Letters written by Minnie, Annie and Amy Wolfe to CMS Headquarters in London, for the first time, tell the story of the scope and nature of their interaction with Chinese women and girls in a significant cultural exchange. This particularly occurred through CMS schools, which, using Fujian dialects, provided grounding in Christianity, reading and writing. In addition, the sisters acknowledge their personal dependence upon, and valuing of Chinese Christian women with whom they worked. Born to evangelise, Annie once wrote “In spite of anxieties and disappointments this is the happiest work anyone could wish for.”

Francis William Rogers Brambell was born on 25 February 1901 at Combridge House, Sandycove, Co. Dublin. His family tree is best set out in diagram (see the table on the next page). As he said himself, he could not remember a time when natural history was not his chief interest, nor did he know who inspired this interest, unless it was his maternal grandfather, F. W. Rogers, who certainly encouraged it. Rock pools on the shore, the rubbish brought in by fishing boats, insects, birds and other animals absorbed much of his attention after he was five or six years old. When Brambell was eleven T. P. Le Fanu introduced him to R. M. Barrington of Fassaroe, whose influence was probably decisive in developing his bent for natural history. Brambell went with Barrington and his children on ornithological expeditions, had the free run of Barrington’s collection of bird skins, and through him got to know most of the Irish naturalists of the time. He was, Brambell says, a grand field naturalist with an extraordinary gift for inspiring young people. At thirteen Brambell started seriously collecting bird skins. He never, he says, ever had any encouragement in biology or any other branch of science from his school.

Maternal Grandfather

Approximately one third of the patients with haemophilia appears to have no affected relatives. The proportion of cases due to a new mutational event as well as the gamete origin of the mutation has been much debated. The objective of this study was to define the origin of the mutation in families with an isolated case by DNA analysis. We investigated 22 families with an isolated case of haemophilia A. Intragenic (Bell, Xbal) and extragenic (BglII/DX13, Taql/Stl4) RFLPs were investigated for. If necessary, paternity was tested by DNA fingerprint patterns obtained with the 33.15 mini satellite probe.In seven of the 22 families it could be demonstratedthat the abnormal X-chromosome of the haemophiliac was derived from the normal maternal grandfather. In six of these 7 families the mother of the patient had a high probability of carriershio on the basis of clotting factor VIII assays, so that, probably, the mutation had occurred in the paternal gamete. As a consequence, carriership could be excluded for aunts, nieces and more distant female relatives of the patient.In three families the abnormal X-chromosome was derived from the maternal grandmother, while, sofar, in the remaining 12 families no conclusions as to the origin of the mutation could be drawn.In contrast with earlier findings, these results illustrate that at least thirty percent of the isolatedcases of haemophilia A are due to a recent de novo mutation.

Iphigenia At Aulis

Produced posthumously along with Iphigenia at Aulis and Alcmaeon in Corinth and awarded first prize at the City Dionysia in 405 bce, Euripides’ Bacchae is one of his most well-known and influential tragedies. One of the most significant aspects of the play, attracting religious, gendered, psychological, philosophical, and metatheatrical readings, is the appearance as a major character of the god Dionysus seeking to establish his cult in the city of Thebes. Dionysus is simultaneously an outsider, setting off from Lydia with his band of Asiatic maenads, and a son of the city, conceived by Semele, a member of the Theban royal family, and born out of his father Zeus’ thigh after the death of his mother. Worshipping Dionysus brings ecstasy and joy, experienced through revels, music, and dancing, yet there is also a vengeful and destructive side to the god. He seeks to punish his maternal aunts for their lack of belief in his divine parentage and drives them from the palace onto the mountains along with the other Theban women. At the same time, the Theban elder Cadmus, Dionysus’ maternal grandfather, and the prophet Tiresias attire themselves in Bacchic garb and head for the mountains in a show of respect for the god. But Cadmus’s grandson Pentheus, the ruler of the city, is hostile to the establishment of Dionysus’ cult and refuses to accept the outsider. In the course of the play, Pentheus confronts Dionysus and attempts to constrain him by force to reassert his control over the city. Yet it is impossible for a mortal to defeat a god. Intrigued by news of the women’s Bacchic revels on the mountains, Pentheus is persuaded by Dionysus to disguise himself as a maenad and visit the mountains to observe the women. A messenger reports the terrible news of Pentheus’s death, torn apart as if he were an animal in a Bacchic ritual, by his mother and her two sisters. The play culminates with a powerful scene in which Agave returns to the palace carrying the head of her own son, believing it to be the head of a mountain lion they have killed. During the scene her father Cadmus gradually helps her to see that she has in fact dismembered her own son. The play concludes with the exile of the remaining members of the royal family.

Early Influence

Joseph Stanley Mitchell was born in Birmingham on 22 July 1909, the eldest of three children born to Joseph Brown Mitchell and Ethel Maud Mary Arnold, both of whom were schoolteachers and for whom education was always of prime importance. His maternal grandmother, born in 1848, was unusually progressive in her belief in the importance of education for women, and his maternal grandfather, a quiet and thoughtful man, who worked in the construction of machine tools, had an inventive turn of mind and was the author of several patents. Joseph’s mother was an outstanding pupil at, eventually, St Mary’s College, Cheltenham. Her interests included music (she played the violin), poetry, handicrafts and needlework, at which she was particularly skilful. She developed an illness after Joseph’s birth so that his first year was spent in the care of his Aunt Gertrude who had married into the de Saulles family, protestant refugees from Switzerland whom Joseph recognized as an early influence in his liking for languages and whose profession as makers of optical instruments likewise aroused his interest.

Dalziel Llewellyn Hammick died at Oxford on 17 October 1966, aged 79. He was born at West Norwood, London, on 8 March 1887, the eldest son of Llewellyn Sidney Herbert Hammick and Katherine Roy Hammick, née Collyns. There was a younger brother. His paternal grandfather was a London business man who took to the law and became a barrister, acting as secretary at the Registrar-General’s office and as Commissioner for Census, and who wrote The law of marriage (1873). He had changed his name from Hammack; earlier Hammacks were business men in London whose names are to be found back to 1713 in the records of the Plaisterers Company. A collateral branch existed in Shropshire. Hammick’s father was trained as an architect but does not appear to have practised. His mother was the daughter of a London tea-broker who had married Mary Dalziel of Ayr. Earlier members of the Collyns family were doctors and parsons in Devon. His maternal grandfather, C. P. Collyns, of Dulverton, was a well-known sportsman and author of The chase of the wild red deer .

John Henry Gaddum was born on 31 March 1900 in Hale, Cheshire, the eldest child of Henry Edwin Gaddum and Phyllis Mary née Barratt. He had three brothers and two sisters. His father was a silk importer whose main energies were devoted to charitable work in Manchester, where he was a Justice of the Peace, and Chairman of many of the leading charitable committees. He got them all together in a house which was later called Gaddum House. Manchester University honoured him by giving him an honorary M.A. About his father, Gaddum wrote: ‘As the eldest I got more help from him than did the rest of the family. He made me fond of riding and natural history, and taught me to use my hands. He constructed a large sundial which was also a summer house, and which told the correct time to within about a minute at all times of the year—making due allowance for the apparent irregularities of the sun at different times of the year. It also told the day of the year. He was fond of sketching and taught me to draw— but not very successfully. He made me fond of long walks in Wales and Switzerland, and of swimming and sailing.’ John Gaddum’s maternal grandfather, Alfred Barratt, was, as Gaddum wrote, a clever man. He went from Rugby to Balliol, Oxford, under Jowett, and there achieved what was then a record in examinations: a double first in Moderations followed by First Class in Classics, Mathematics and Modern History. He wrote two books on philosophy and died young (35). A first cousin of Gaddum’s mother was Sir Samuel Hoare, later Lord Templewood, at one time Foreign Secretary and Ambassador to Spain. Another first cousin of his mother was Dick Acland, who was Bishop of Bombay and by whom he was married. A first cousin of his father, Grace Joynson, married William Hicks, who became Lord Brentford and who was Home Secretary at the time of the General Strike in 1926.
