Valid, Void, And Voidable Marriages
Pridhi Chopra
The institution of marriage is an important subject matter to all human beings. Weddings are celebrated, acknowledged, and embraced by civilized society around the world. In India, the concept of marriage is much more cherished as it is believed to be a sacramental union between a man and a woman. Traditionally, marriage is an eternal union of a man and a wife. It is a legally and socially sanctioned union. Marriage marks the rights and duties of one partner towards the other.
Most societies had the concept of marriages for centuries. However, with changing times and the introduction of the law in social affairs, the meaning of marriage has gone through a substantial change. For example, in 1978, the legal age for marriage was increased to 18 years for women. This means that the marriage of a girl less than 18 years of age is not only illegal but also falls under the category of a voidable marriage.
The Indian Legal System, with the gradual change in social values, customs, beliefs, and modernization, has classified marriages into three heads: Valid Marriage, Void Marriage and Voidable Marriage. Marriage is called valid, void, or voidable as per the norms of their personal laws. India, being a secular country, has many religions, therefore, people of different religions have different practices concerning marriages. For instance, polygamy is not a crime for a Muslim man though it is a criminal offence for others under section 494 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.[1]
Marriage is a substantial part of the personal laws, as a result, the religion of the parties involved plays a crucial role in their marriage. In India, different provisions for marriages were made under the family law for different religions. Hindu marriages are regulated under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 while the Muslim Marriage Act, 1957 deals with Muslim marriages. Similarly, there is the Christian Marriage Act, 1872 and the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936 for the Christian and Parsi marriages in India. With the changing times, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 was also enacted for inter-faith marriages. These statutes have different provisions, making a marriage valid, void, or voidable.
Valid Marriage
A Marriage is said to be valid when it fulfils all the conditions stated by the law. Different religions have different conditions for a marriage to be valid. Among Hindus, marriage is believed to be a sacrosanct, permanent, and indissoluble union between a man and wife. As a result, there are certain conditions to be fulfilled for a marriage between two Hindus to be valid. The conditions for a valid marriage are mentioned in Section 5 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.[2] It includes monogamy, soundness of mind, age of the marriage (18 years for women and 21 years for men), beyond prohibited degrees of relationship and beyond sapinda relationship. If all these conditions in a Hindu marriage are fulfilled, then it is said to be a valid marriage.
In the case of Muslim marriage, the institution of marriage is seen as a contract between a husband and wife. A valid Muslim marriage is one that confirms the requisites as mentioned under section 6 of the Muslim Marriage Act. A valid Muslim marriage is termed as Sahih, which loosely means "proper". A marriage is said to be valid between two Muslims if both parties are competent, has attained puberty, is of sound mind, beyond the prohibited degree of relationship and there is free consent of the parties. Further, a Muslim Marriage is a contract, therefore there needs to be an offer (Ijab), acceptance (Qabool) and a minimum of two witnesses. A marriage without witnesses is not a valid Muslim marriage.
The Special Marriage Act deals with inter-faith marriages, it establishes provisions to declare marriages of parties of different religions valid. The act mentions the conditions relating to the solemnization of special marriages. The conditions are like those mentioned in the Hindu Marriage Act. For a marriage to be valid under the Special Marriage Act, there must be only one living spouse, soundness of mind, the legal age of marriage and should not be within the degrees of prohibited relationship. Such a marriage that fulfils all the above conditions is marked to be a valid marriage.
It is important to understand the sanctity of a valid marriage both socially and legally. Socially, only a valid marriage, which has fulfilled all the conditions are accepted and appreciated. While in the eyes of law, only valid marriages are recognized and are subject to legal remedies. A marriage that is not valid in the eyes of the law does not create rights and obligations between the parties. A marriage that is not a valid marriage is either void or voidable marriage. As the name suggests, a void marriage is null and has no value whatsoever in the eyes of law. While Voidable marriages are marriages that are valid unless avoided by one or both parties. Both these categories of marriage are incomplete in nature as it does not satisfy the social-legal conditions of a valid marriage in some way or the other.
Void Marriage
A marriage that does not fulfil the conditions of a valid marriage is often termed void. A void marriage is no marriage. In law, the term Void means "no legal effect". A void marriage is a marriage that has no legal effect. It does not create any legal liability, rights, or obligations on any of the parties. In other words, they are unenforceable by law. To substantiate, in the case of a living spouse, a second marriage would be termed as void under the Special Marriage Act. Likewise, under Muslim personal law, marriage to the fifth wife is void marriage (Batil). Further, marrying within the prohibited degree of relationship also falls under void marriages. The reasons for a marriage to be void are different under India personal laws, however, as mentioned earlier, a marriage within the prohibited degree of relationship or bigamy (except among Muslims) is deemed to be void under all personal laws.[3]
In cases of void marriages, the legitimacy of children born, maintenance, bigamy, the inheritance of property, rights and obligation of parties are crucial issues that are dealt with in different ways under different statutes. To substantiate, a child born out of a void marriage is legitimate under the Special Marriage Act. However, under Muslim personal law, the offspring is illegitimate.
Voidable Marriage
A voidable marriage is a valid marriage until it is avoided by either of the parties. In simple terms, a voidable marriage enjoys all the ingredients of a valid marriage if it not avoided by one or both parties by filing a petition in the court. It means, parties have the status of husband and wife, children are legitimate, and all mutual rights and duties arise between the parties. Some of the grounds of voidable marriage under Indian personal laws are impotence of respondent, unsoundness of mind or insanity, respondent's pregnancy at the time of marriage, force or fraud or age of the parties or concealment of religion.
Often, the grounds of voidable marriage are reinstated as grounds of void marriages. However, there is a notable amount of difference between a void and voidable marriage. A void marriage is void ab intio, i.e., void since the very beginning. While on the other hand, a voidable marriage is valid and binding in the beginning till it is avoided by either party. In the case of a void marriage, there is no change in the marital status or no mutual rights, or obligations arise between the parties. However, in a voidable marriage spouses are legally and socially obligated to live in the capacity of husband and wife. A void marriage is unenforceable by law, but a voidable marriage is a valid marriage in the eyes of laws until it is avoided.
The three categories of marriage, valid, void, and voidable, defines the complexity of marriage within the branch of family law. A Marriage is regarded as a socially and legally accepted institution as it regulates a man and woman by conferring rights and responsibilities to live as a husband and wife. The distinction of marriage into these categories (valid, void, and voidable) is crucial from a legal and social perspective. It provides options to the parties in case of moral or ethical wrong.

United States v. Harney
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit
United States of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
Jeffrey W. Harney, Defendant-Appellant.
Argued: August 6, 2019
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Covington. No. 2:16-cr-00038-1-David L. Bunning, District Judge.
Steven D. Jaeger, THE JAEGER FIRM PLLC, Erlanger, Kentucky, for Appellant.
James T. Chapman, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellee.
ON BRIEF:
James T. Chapman, Charles P. Wisdom, Jr., UNITED STATES ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, Lexington, Kentucky, for Appellee.
Before: SUTTON, GRIFFIN, and READLER, Circuit Judges.
SUTTON, CIRCUIT JUDGE.
This case presents the latest installment in the government's investigation of a child pornography website called Playpen. As part of a nationwide investigation into this website and as part of the nationwide search warrant that went with it, the government searched Jeffrey Harney's computer and found illicit images. Harney moved to suppress the evidence and asked the district court to require the United States to turn over all of the background information related to its search. The district court denied both motions. Harney pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography but reserved the right to appeal the denial of his suppression and discovery motions. We affirm.
In 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation gained control over Playpen, a large child pornography website. Agents moved a controlled server containing a copy of the website to a government building in Virginia and continued operating the site in hopes of nabbing its users. The nature of the site complicated the government's efforts. It uses "The Onion Router," known to insiders as Tor, which conceals users' internet protocol addresses and other identifying information.
Through a 33-page affidavit, the government sought a warrant that would identify the individuals veiled behind the usernames. The proposed warrant, the affidavit explained, would authorize additional instructions to the content that a computer automatically downloaded when visiting the site. The added instructions would cause the user's computer to send back seven specific pieces of information about the computer, including the actual IP address. A magistrate judge in the Eastern District of Virginia ...

Paul the Apostles, gives us the most example and replica of humility in the person of Jesus, who emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, ...who humbled himself and became dutiful unto death, even death on a cross. The Lord Jesus gives grace to those who seek him respectfully. Do we want to be a servant as Jesus served? Loving Infant Jesus, you became a servant for our sake to set me free from the oppression of sin, egotism, and conceit. Help us to be humble as you are humble and to love freely and courteously all whom you call us to serve.

When pressure is to blame for doctors behaving badly | Clare Allan

The GP who told his patient to go ahead and kill herself seems to have been failed by a system that can't cope with mental health issues
A woman with a history of mental health problems goes to the see her doctor and asks for a sick note because she is frightened of giving evidence at a rape trial. She tells the GP she is feeling suicidal and he tells her to go ahead and kill herself. "If you don't know how to do it," he says, "it's on the internet how to do it." Unbeknown to the doctor, the patient has recorded the conversation. A complaint is made and the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) suspends the doctor for three months.
I was shocked when I heard this story, which has been widely reported. A three-month suspension seemed a remarkably minor sanction for such a serious breach of medical ethics. Moreover, the fact that the woman had felt the need to record the conversation suggested this wasn't the first time the doctor had behaved unprofessionally.
Anyone with a mental health problem will know the difficulty of being believed when making a complaint, especially where it's your word against that of a professional. It is so easy to dismiss a complainant as paranoid, mistaken or "borderline". And if you keep on complaining, you are likely to be diagnosed with a personality disorder. I should be joking, but I'm really not.
So my feelings were three cheers for the patient and one big boo for the MPTS for failing to take appropriate action. A statement that the doctor's behaviour amounted to "serious professional misconduct" was hardly underlined by a paltry three-month suspension. The fact that the doctor failed to apologise or even to attend the tribunal was, I felt, significant. It seemed to accentuate his lack of respect for the patient. Anyone can lose their temper; the crucial thing is what they do about it.
But having read the tribunal papers, it is clear to me that the situation is a lot more complex than the version that was reported. And while I feel for the patient, I also have some sympathy for the doctor. What he said was completely unacceptable; surely no one disagrees with that, even the doctor – though the lack of an apology unfortunately means that this has to be an assumption. However, what emerges from the papers is the pressure, both general and particular to this patient, that the doctor must have felt under.
Although the patient told the tribunal that she had previously had a good relationship with the doctor, this was contradicted by several pieces of evidence that she had in fact been repeatedly abusive towards him and threatened on several occasions to go to the press.
She had threatened to kill herself only after the doctor had refused to give her a sick note unless she paid for one privately. Whatever the truth of the matter, the doctor clearly felt she was trying to blackmail him. The tribunal also noted that the doctor "was working on a daily basis with patients from a very deprived area, with a high rate of drug and alcohol abuse, who could be difficult, abusive, aggressive and manipulative".
Though I find this language problematic (who can't be manipulative, after all?), it does seem clear that in such an environment there was likely to be a considerable gulf between the life experience of the doctor and that of the patient. Such gulfs can be bridged, but to do so does take time. Time to develop a relationship, to learn how to communicate, build trust and understanding. Time that isn't available in a GP's seven-minute average appointment slot.
Though neither the doctor nor the patient comported themselves with much distinction, it seems to me that both were failed by a system that is simply not suited to dealing with mental health issues. It is surely time we did something about this.

Born and raised in the Midcoast area, Avary spent time traveling abroad and living out west before coming back home and putting her roots down.
After graduating, Avary spent time backpacking beautiful New Zealand, guiding and managing a guest ranch in Colorado, hiking and exploring Patagonia, and most recently living and working in McCall, Idaho. Though these places hold a special place in her heart there is no place like home and she is glad to be back.
Avary has a background in house renovation, construction and design. She has worked with her family restoring houses and barns, building timber frame structures, and landscaping design in the mid coast area. She thoroughly enjoys the 'sweat equity' that goes into these projects and loves to see a job well done. Through this work Avary's knowledge includes how a home layout can work for a variety of buyers and sellers, as well as what constitutes a house beyond the walls through the studs, framing, electrical and plumbing. Avary utilizes this knowledge while working with buyers and sellers from all backgrounds.
When not involved in real estate, Avary enjoys spending time with her dogs, hiking and swimming at her family's camp on Lake St. George, and working on renovation projects. During the fall you can find her hunting white tail deer, enjoying the outdoors, and snowshoeing into Winter.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy "A Man Killed By The Money Trust"
Martyr Series: John Fitzgerald Kennedy "A Man Killed By The Money Trust"
With the stroke of a pen, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal Reserve Bank of New York out of business. If enough of these silver certificates were to come into circulation they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve notes. This is because the silver certificates are backed by silver and the Federal Reserve notes are not backed by anything. Executive Order 11110 could have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level, because it would have given the government the ability to repay its debt without going to the Federal Reserve and being charged interest in order to create the new money. Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S. the ability to create its own money backed by silver.

Just in time for a bed-time story.
I wholeheartedly agree, it would appear to me that his downfall was the beginning of making brilliance remarkably unrewarding. His is a truly fascinating story, that seemingly nobody knows. My own father has a Masters degree in electrical engineering, and he hadn't even ever heard of him. Apparently, not only has his technology been suppressed, and but none of his contributions are even discussed in academia.
he Rand Corporation in the early 1960s developed the Delphi technique for the purpose of maneuvering segments of the public into accepting predetermined government policies. In the 1970s and '80s, it was ideally used to convince land owners of the merits of accepting joining and general plan maps. Now it is being employed to persuade the public to accept outcome-based education and the licensing of all employees, via endorsements in the Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM) and Certificate of Advanced Mastery (CAM) programs, a.k.a. school-to-work.
The goal of the Delphi technique is to lead a targeted group of people to a predetermined outcome, while giving the illusion of taking public input and under the pretext of being accountable to the public. For the Delphi to work, it is critical that the targeted group be kept away from knowledgeable people who could lead them away from the Delphier's predetermined outcome.
One variation on the Delphi technique is to use a series of meetings. The attendees are often given a number or a colored card when they enter the room, to determine at which table they are to sit. The purpose of this is to break up the groups of potentially knowledgeable people who arrive together so that they will be sitting with strangers and therefore be subdued.
Typically, at each table is a facilitator, someone who will know which way to help "steer" the group. Usually the people at each table are instructed to answer among themselves some of the questions and arrive at a table consensus. Someone is chosen to speak for the table, most of the time it is the person who has been secretly pre-briefed about the desired Delphi outcome. The table spokesperson is the only one allowed to address the podium and the others have little opportunity to address the podium or the crowd directly.
The questions are typically "loaded" questions. An example is the question asked of Oregon teachers on a Delphi technique survey: "Do you agree or disagree that the following elements of H.B. 3565 [Oregon's Education Act for the 21st Century] will lead to improved student learning if implemented?" The survey listed such items for the teachers to agree or disagree with; "site councils," "increased accountability for school site and districts," "full funding for preschool programs to enable all students to enter school ready to learn," "extended school year," "certificate of initial mastery," etc. The question is patently "loaded." For example, site councils are not charged with improving student learning. Their function is to implement the state law, dole out professional development courses and money to selected teachers, and apply for grants from foundations and the federal government. For the teachers to answer, "agree" or "disagree", that the site councils will lead to improved student learning is misdirecting the respondent.
The Delphi surveys serve to "educate" the people taking the survey. After the first survey is taken, the respondents are given an analysis and told that most people agreed or somewhat agreed on the predetermined outcome. Then usually they are given another survey and asked if they can be flexible and try to rethink the "few remaining" areas of disagreement. When the series of surveys are accomplished, the respondents are told that the majority of respondents achieved "consensus" with whatever direction the pollers wanted in the first place.
These techniques were developed decades ago. The Rand Corporation has more recently been developing games that groups of business people, site council members, organizations, etc., can use to help "sell" people on collectivism, consensus vs. majority rule, etc.
Never, ever compromise when it comes to "right and wrong." With the right attitude you shouldn't care what people think, as long as you are standing up for what is right. Accept persecution gratefully.
Nikola Tesla was so far advanced that Einstein could never rise to Tesla's level.
Tesla's technology has been suppressed, hidden and extrapolated into warfare/weatherfare technology.
So much of Tesla's technology has been subverted from his original intent into weapons of destruction. This is why I believe the DOTS and PTB suppressed Tesla's name and inventions......What's to come is what scares me.

Technology that the vast majority of the human race including the scientific community, doesn't even know exists, will be used against us. This is a certainty, because it is already being done. It's about to get really interesting. (just read "Operation Paperclip") Finding good solid and reproducible Tesla technology is virtually impossible. Learning the scientific principles that he discovered requires thinking way outside the establishments box. Grasping principles that are not taught anywhere, is a process. Putting them into practice, is like reinventing the wheel all over again. Everybody needs a hobby, this one is mine. Thank you for your assistance, it is much appreciated. I don't mind doing the experiments, that actually goes relatively quickly. It's the research itself that is extraordinarily time-consuming. Especially, when there are obviously people doing whatever they can to make sure it stays covered up.


The organizer of a GoFundMe page to fund a border wall says his efforts are now supported by Steve Bannon, the controversial former Trump strategist.
The man who started a GoFundMe page to fund a border wall now says he has new plans and new supporters, including President Donald Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Brian Kolfage, who started the "We The People Will Build the Wall" GoFundMe page in December, said he wanted to involve the community in group's plans to dispel any false rumors.
That's why he's hosting a "town hall" session south of Tucson on Friday.
Kolfage's GoFundMe border wall campaign became the instant subject of media attention, but also of criticism. There were questions about how the federal government could actually accept a donation for border security. A BuzzFeed News article suggested he used his position to push right-wing conspiracy theories and false stories on a number of conservative media sites — claims he denied. GoFundMe said in a statement last week that they would refund all donations, unless donors explicitly elect to redirect their donation to the organization's new plan.
In an interview Wednesday with The Arizona Republic, Kolfage did not address the issue of reimbursement — rather, he outlined a new approach that would bypass the need to forge a path for the money to get to the government.
One major misconception he said he wants to address is the idea that his group is trying to fund a wall across the entire southern border.
If the government builds 215 miles of the wall, Kolfage and his group plan to build an additional 215 miles "to increase border security." This portion of the wall would be privately, not federally, funded.
In the almost two months since the GoFundMe campaign began, it has raised over $20 million, a feat its founder says highlights the bipartisan level of support the wall has across the country.
The group has garnered support from big names associated with Trump, including Bannon, who had a high-profile falling out with Trump, and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who also was one of the architects of Arizona's controversial 2010 immigration-enforcement law known as Senate Bill 1070.
Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., another immigration hard-liner, also is expected to attend the event, as will Trump supporters Mary Ann Mendoza and Steve Ronnebeck, both of whom had children killed by undocumented immigrants.
According to Politico, this is the first time Bannon has publicly confirmed involvement with the project. He said he doesn't think $1 billion is necessarily feasible, but does think the group will be able to raise $100 or $200 million.
The funds raised would be a small fraction of the $5.7 billion Trump is currently seeking for border security. Officials have said that $5.7 billion would pay to replace existing fencing on about 115 miles of border and build about 100 miles of new fencing. The border is about 2,000 miles long.
Though his involvement has not been public for long, Bannon has long been helping the group with his Washington connections. Politico reported that he arranged meetings for Kolfage to discuss his ideas with Washington officials.
Bannon also told Politico that the group was looking into the possibility of using a hemp-based product to construct the wall, and that America's Hemp Academy agreed to supply hempcrete if that's the route they choose.
"Do you understand the irony of using hempcrete to keep out marijuana?" Bannon told Politico.
Both Bannon and Kobach will be in Tucson on Friday, but Kolfage said he can only guarantee that Kobach will attend the town hall. Bannon may not attend due to security issues.
The town hall will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Quail Creek Country Club in Green Valley. The club was not available for comment on the announcement of the event featuring Bannon, Kobach and Tancredo.
The event will be moderated by Jennifer Lawrence, the communications director for Kolfage's wall project. Arizona political junkies may remember Lawrence, a former Breitbart News reporter, from her work as a political operative in the state during the 2018 U.S. Senate cycle; Lawrence initially worked for Republican Senate candidate Kelli Ward before switching allegiance to one of Ward's GOP rivals, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

We arrived safely home last Sunday morning. It has been a challenging transition to "normal" life this year. We are grateful that there was a holiday last week to help us recover from the trip and the traveling, but the combination of change of pace, change of time zone and change of focus caused a significant disorientation which has just recently abated.
As I sit before the monitor, I find myself with the same blank stare as I did a week ago when I first attempted to write this final blog of our journey – How can I summarize our experiences? What words can adequately express the kindness and struggle, the joy and heartbreak, the laughter and tears of the two weeks of our trip? All I can think is to praise God for His unceasing work in and through His people throughout the world, and to thank all of you who have faithfully remembered us and the people of Central Asia in your prayers. It was very evident that God was dynamically involved in all the activities, conversations and events.
I like to have a plan. Planning is something that I enjoy, and something that gives me a great deal of comfort and satisfaction. I understand that there is a tendency to have more faith in ones plans that in the Lord, so we tried to hold our well-made plans loosely – which in this part of the world is usually best. Looking back on our trip, the events went pretty much along the lines of our plans, but as the events unfolded, it seemed constantly to deviate from the plans, always causing me to have to decide to push for the plan or wait upon the direction of the Lord. The regular interruptions and changes along the way became opportunities for us to be more reliant on the Spirit to guide and control. Often, I would feel that I had nothing to give, nothing to help – then, in that moment, God would provide a word, or a circumstance that brought into focus an encouragement or principle that was perfectly timed for the situation. What a wonderful experience to know that whatever we do, wherever we go, God is already there, working for His purposes and for His glory – even for our good. Yes, plans are important tools, but working through the plans requires faith, and perseverance to Him rather than the plan – it is amazing how it works out!
Thank you for following along on our journey, and for your patience in my first attempt to communicate through this medium. I hope and pray that I have provided a sense of the compassion of these wonderful people for the Lord and for their neighbors. I urge you to continue praying for the people of Central Asia. If you have been touched by their story, by their faithful service in the challenging circumstance of their calling, I would encourage you to look for a way to support the work being done in that region. We will be presenting at Calvary on August 5 in the Gathering Place. If you have questions or would like further information on how to get involved, please come see us there.

Q: Will nulling an object in session destroy it right away I have a large object I would like to store in session, maybe a minute to use, and than remove it from memory.  How long does an object stay in Gen0, Gen1 before it stays in Gen2 until GC?  If I NULL it after a minute will the memory be cleared right away or at least in Gen0 or Gen1?  I would like to free up that memory as fast as possible so it doesnt go to Gen2.

Occurrence of barley yellow dwarf virus serotypes MAV and RMV in over-summering grasses
S. J. McKirdy, R. A.C. Jones
Over-summering grasses were collected in the south-west of Western Australia in 1991 and 1992 and tested by ELISA using serotype specific polyclonal antibodies for presence of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) serotypes MAV, PAV and RPV (1991) or MAV, PAV, RPV and RMV (1992). In 1991, 33 samples from 33 sites were tested and MAV was detected in four of 12 samples of Pennisetum clandestinum found infected with BYDV. Presence of MAV was confirmed by retesting these samples using MAV specific monoclonal antibodies. In 1992, 802 samples from 16 grass species were collected from 579 sites in six regions. BYDV was detected in 214 (27%) samples at 178 (31%) sites. MAV was found in 50% and RMV in 38% of infected samples. Both were found either alone or in mixed infections with each other or with PAV and/or RPV; all four serotypes were found in 18 (8%) infected samples. The most important hosts were four perennials: Cynodon dactylon, Eragrostis curvula, Paspalum dilatatum and P. clandestinum. Eight other perennial and five annual grass species were also infected. MAV was most commonly found in C. dactylon and P. clandestinum and RMV in P. dilatatum. All four serotypes were present in the six regions sampled, but the relative proportions of the serotypes found varied from region to region. This paper represents the first extensive survey of MAV and RMV serotypes of BYDV in over-summering grasses in Australia. Aphid species found during this survey infesting over-summering grasses were Rhopalosiphum padi, R. maidis and Hysteroneura setariae. In the Mediterranean type climate of the south-west of Western Australia, BYDV and aphids on over-summering perennial grasses constitute the main reservoir of infection and means of spread to cereal crops. Factors favouring grass survival over summer result in increased cereal crop infection.

The Registrar of the University of Oxford is one of the senior officials of the university. According to its statutes, the Registrar acts as the "head of the central administrative services", with responsibility for "the management and professional development of their staff and for the development of other administrative support". The Registrar is also the "principal adviser on strategic policy" to the university's Vice-Chancellor and Council, its main decision-making body.

The university regards the role as having a 550-year history, as there are references in the records to officials carrying out the duties of a registrar in the 15th century, though the list of Registrars published by the university in the 19th century begins with John London, who died in 1508. As the administrative requirements of the university have increased, so have the number of staff employed in the university administration under the Registrar. The university decided to give the role increased importance after this was recommended by a commission in 1922.

, there are 16 administrative sections for the university, and the heads of 12 of these report to the Registrar. About 4,000 of the university's staff of approximately 8,000 are under the Registrar's control. The current Registrar, Gill Aitken, took up her duties in September 2018. The previous Registrar, Ewan McKendrick, held the post from 1 January 2011; he is also Professor of English Private Law and was previously one of the university's Pro-Vice-Chancellors. His predecessor, Julie Maxton, was the first woman to hold the position; she was previously Dean of the Law School at the University of Auckland.

History and duties
The list of former Registrars published by the university in the 19th century begins with John London, who died in 1508. Records show that there were people before London carrying out similar tasks in the 15th century, and the university regards the role as having a 550-year history. There is a record of a resolution by the university, of uncertain date in the 15th century, that a registrar or scribe should be appointed to draft letters, record the university's public acts, copy its documents, and record the names of graduates. The position carried an annual salary of four marks (£2 13 shillings and 4 pence); fees had to be paid to the Registrar by individuals obtaining their degrees or recording other permissions granted by the university. In 1448, a John Manyngham signed a letter for the university, and was permitted in 1451 to have a scholar make transcripts in the university's library; one historian of the university says that Manyngham may have been Oxford's first Registrar. John Farley, who signed his name in Greek letters as a sign of his erudition, carried out the duties from 1458 to 1464.

In 1588, the Registrar had to be paid four pence by a student wishing to be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, six pence for a Master of Arts degree and eighteen pence for a doctorate; in 1601, the fees for the bachelor's and master's degrees were raised to six pence and eight pence. In the 16th century, it was regarded as a lucrative position and Thomas Caius, who held the post for 17 years, reacted violently when the university voted to remove him from office for failing to carry out his duties for a year, leading to his temporary imprisonment. By the 19th century, the stipend was fixed at £600 and the Registrar no longer personally received fees paid by students.

The workload of the Registrar has increased over time as the university has increased in size and complexity. In 1914, the Registry had a staff of five; there were eight staff members in 1930 and forty in 1958. Typewriters were rare before 1925 and there was, until then, no diary of recurring dates, with everything depending (in the words of a later Registrar, Sir Douglas Veale, appointed in 1930) "on someone—generally the registrar's secretary—happening to remember." A commission headed by the prime minister H. H. Asquith recommended in 1922 that Oxford should improve its administration and that the Registrar should become a more significant figure; Veale's appointment was a recognition of this need. In addition, external pressures from the requirements of the University Grants Committee and other governmental funding mechanisms also required more work from the Registrar and staff. As the historian Brian Harrison put it, under Veale (Registrar 1930–1958), Oxford's administration was "edging ... slowly from decentralized amateurism towards centralized professionalism." However, Veale's successor Sir Folliott Sandford was "appalled at the amount of paper", which was "quite beyond [his] conception as a civil servant." The growth in Oxford's administration led to a move in 1968 to purpose-built accommodation in Wellington Square: until that time, the administration had been housed in the Clarendon Building in the centre of Oxford next to the Bodleian Library. , there are 16 administrative sections for the university, and the heads of 12 of these report to the Registrar. In 2006, about 4,000 of the university's staff of approximately 8,000 were reported as being under the Registrar's control.

The university's statutes state that the Registrar is the "head of the central administrative services", with responsibility for "the management and professional development of their staff and for the development of other administrative support". The Registrar is also the "principal adviser on strategic policy" to the university's Vice-Chancellor and Council (its main decision-making body). Other duties include oversight of "the University's external relations", responsibility for "communications which express the general policy of the University", and control of the university's records and publications. Before 1997, when amendments were made to set out the modern duties of the post, the statutes relating to the Registrar were predominantly an outdated list of record-keeping duties; a requirement for the Registrar to live in an official residence provided by the university was deleted at this time. Julie Maxton (2006–10) was the first woman to hold the position; she was previously Dean of the Law School at the University of Auckland. She was succeeded on 1 January 2011 by Ewan McKendrick, formerly Professor of English Private Law at Oxford and one of the university's Pro-Vice-Chancellors. Some but not all of the Registrars have been appointed to a Fellowship of one of the colleges at the university; unlike some of the professorships at Oxford, the position is not linked to a particular college.

HomeBlogTipsWhere can UK travellers enjoy some sun this Easter?
Fancy a bit of sun on a short Easter break from the UK? We've rounded up ten of the best places that you can reach easily where you're pretty much guaranteed some sun, mostly around the Med but a few further afield.
This pair of islands lies about as far south as you can get in the Mediterranean without hitting North Africa. So although a little rain might be expected, temperatures should be around 20 degrees. Part of the British Empire from 1814 until independence in 1964, English is widely spoken.
Out in the Atlantic about three hundred miles north of the Canaries lies the Portuguese island of Madeira. Without any major beaches, the superlative gardens are at their best in spring. Madeira gets a lot of rain in the winter, but by Easter, it should be over.
With a very mild climate and history of British rule, Crete is a favourite UK holiday destination. Temperatures should reach 21 degrees in the day and the wildflowers will be blooming. Head for the north coast of the Akamas peninsula to avoid the package holiday crowds.
Firmly established as all-year-round tourist destinations it's harder to get bargains to the Canaries at Easter, but you will get temperatures in the mid-to-low twenties. Fuerteventura is the island most exposed to the Atlantic winds so best avoided unless you're into sailing and kite-surfing.
Spring comes early to Crete and the south tends to be warmer than the north, as well as being less developed than the north. Easter is well-observed so you should be able to see some stunning local pageantry.
Being inland, this city is warmer than the Moroccan coast at Easter but as it's not high season there won't be too many tourists around. The best bet of all our picks for hot sun at Easter, there may be a little rain and it can be chilly at night but expect up to 27 degrees in the day.
In southern Spain, the city of Seville has celebrations throughout Holy Week although that can make it crowded. Along the Costa del Sol expect temperatures around 20 degrees, although the sea won't feel so warm.
Not as warm as some of the other places we've featured, Puglia is the 'heel' of Italy's boot. It's a wonderful place to relax, with many restored farmhouses to stay in and glorious local cuisine. Temperatures will be a little under 20 degrees.
On the other side of Italy, Sicily is great for sight-seeing with Greco-Roman ruins all over the island and many of the towns featuring Baroque architecture. Being surrounded by the Med it can be cool at around 15-17 degrees and there may be a little rain.
More of a gamble for the weather, Provence can be cold in the hills but warmer nearer the coast and rain is more likely than not. But the orange blossom looks fabulous and there are always local taverns and restaurants to hide in.
Wherever you choose and whatever the weather, we hope you enjoy your Easter break from all at Flights Compensation!

DoE opens RE to full foreign ownership
A WIND FARM is seen in Pililia, Rizal on April 25, 2021. – PHILIPPINE STAR/ MICHAEL VARCAS
The renewable energy (RE) sector in the Philippines is now fully open to foreign ownership, the Department of Energy announced on Wednesday.
Energy Minister Raphael PM Lotilla on Tuesday signed a circular amending the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Renewable Energy Sources Act 2008 to allow 100% foreign capital in renewable energy projects.
Section 19 of the IRR had previously limited foreign ownership of RE projects to 40%.
The Department of Energy (DoE) said the circular now paves the way for foreign nationals and foreign-owned companies to explore, develop and exploit RE resources such as solar, wind, biomass, marine or tidal power in the country .
"Given the impressive interest the DoE has received from both local and foreign investors in renewable energy development, particularly in offshore wind potential, the state can now directly undertake the exploration, development, production and use of renewable resources or enter into RE service or operation contracts with Filipino and/or foreign nationals or Filipino and/or foreign companies or associations," Mr. Lotilla said in a statement.
In the case of hydropower, he noted that the "appropriation of waters directly from the source in the Water Code should remain subject to foreign ownership".
Mr Lotilla said easing restrictions on foreign capital will help the Philippines meet its goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in the power generation mix to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040.
The current share of renewable energy in the power generation mix is 22%.
"The country has huge potential for renewable energy development," Mr Lotilla said, adding that the government expects higher investment in the sector, which would create much-needed jobs.
Previously, the DoE said opening up the RE sector to full foreign ownership will not come at the expense of Filipino-owned companies.
"The circular is as simple as we have tried to just focus on ownership. There is no intention to change any process or other vested interests that you as key players in the industry have. This is a mere opening, the lifting of ownership restrictions. The other processes will continue unchanged," the DoE said over the weekend.
Foreign ownership restrictions have previously been blamed for the lack of investment in the RE sector.
In October, the DoE obtained a legal opinion from the Department of Justice (DoJ) stating that "exploration, development and exploitation of inexhaustible RE resources are not subject to the 60:40 restriction on foreign participation as prescribed in Section 2. Article 12 of the 1987 Constitution."
However, the DoJ said the DoE would need to amend the IRR of the Renewable Energy Act to reflect the legal opinion.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. said his administration will focus on renewable energy development in the pursuit of energy security. — AEOJ

Known as the "silent killer," ovarian cancer is known as the deadliest gynecologic cancer. More than 21,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and approximately 15,000 women die from the disease in the U.S. each year. What's worse is that death rates for ovarian cancer have not improved in the last three decades. This is because unlike other cancers that effect women—breast cancer and cervical cancer, for example—ovarian cancer is difficult to detect until it has spread beyond the ovaries.
The five-year survival rate for ovarian cancer is 46%. This is drastically lower than the five-year survival rate for breast cancer (89%) and for cervical cancer (71%).
Epithelial tumors: This type accounts for approximately 90% of ovarian cancer cases. Epithelial tumors grow in the epithelium, the tissues covering the ovaries. This type of ovarian cancer is most common in postmenopausal women.
Germ cell tumors: A much less common type of ovarian cancer. The tumors begin in the ovarian cells that form eggs. Women in their early 20s are among the most commonly diagnosed.
Stromal tumors: Also a much less common type of ovarian cancer. Tumors form in the connective tissue cells that produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Although ovarian cancer only accounts for 3% of cancers among women, you may have a higher risk of developing ovarian cancer if you have a family history of ovarian or breast cancer, an inherited mutation in one of two of the "breast cancer" genes (most common in Ashkenazi Jews), are postmenopausal, or are infertile or obese.
Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect but the most common methods include pelvic examinations, during which a doctor can detect growths on the ovaries, ultrasounds, and a specific blood test called the CA 125. If diagnosis is confirmed, most victims of ovarian cancer will require having their ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus—as well as effected lymph nodes and abdominal tissue—removed followed by chemotherapy.
If you think you are experiencing symptoms of ovarian cancer—symptoms that are persistent and are getting worse over a period of several weeks—talk to your doctor. Write down the symptoms you are experiencing and any relevant personal information, including family history, medications you take, and any major life changes.


The best way to persuade someone that you can do something is simply prove to them that you have done it before. There's no real argument against solid, recorded evidence.
And there's no reason why that principle shouldn't apply in mountain biking here in the Peak District.
The trouble is, while we might have one or two examples (or more! see The Advocacy Files) of how brilliant the mountain biking community can be locally, we're often countered with evidence where riders haven't been thinking about the impact they're having not only on the environment but on the sensitive relationships being worked on by groups like Peak District MTB.
An Instagram photo of some cheeky riding. Digging in a Sunday afternoon walking hotspot. Hot-headed words to a walker on a trail. These are all things that have happened locally in recent months.
It can create an unfortunate domino effect.
It's often said that a rumour can run around the internet before the facts have even got their trainers on and there's some truth in that. No amount of evidence-supported, advocacy-promoted reason is ever going to win against a tidal wave of anger which can quickly result from one inflammatory photo or post on a forum. Reason has gone out of the window and the 'debate' inevitably ends up as a tiresome online slog between two increasingly frustrated people and some very worn out keyboards.
But the domino effect happens. Here at Peak District MTB we're working hard to open up access in some pretty sensitive locations; changing the opinion of landowners and working with authorities to plan long-term management. Generally it's gone well [http://peakdistrictmtb.org/welcome-roaches-christmas-present/], but we've also had instances where relationships have taken a dip as examples emerge of mountain bikers seemingly acting against the responsible riding approach.
That can lead to hard fought access being pulled. The dominoes fall and we're still public enemy number one in many peoples' eyes.
But of course, the domino effect could be the other way. The Peak is a sensitive place politically, environmentally, and across user groups. However, if we get that first, big project over the line; if we prove that we can deliver as a group, then we'll have that evidence to argue to do more. More access. More input to how things are looked after. More say in the shape of mountain biking in the Peak.
The best way to persuade someone that you can do something is simply prove that you have done it before. Let's prove we can do something massive here in the Peak District and get that ball rolling.
What's happening with the Macclesfield Forest trail closures?
