We are incorporated by royal charter and are regulated as a member of the UK The Scout Association, (see www.scouts.org.uk for more information.) As part of The Scout Association we are not required to be individually registered with the UK Charity Commission.
Every year we hold an annual general meeting where members of the charity executive committee (our trustees), are elected, any parent of a youth members can decide to be in the executive at the AGM and every parent has the right to attend the Annual General Meeting.

We will minimise the use of paper to only what is required for the event/camp.
Always keeping the paper records secure, especially when in transit.

If we publish a photograph or image in any public forum (such as a website or social media) we no longer have control over that photograph in so far as it can be downloaded and reproduced elsewhere (without our knowledge), so a withdrawal of consent once a picture has been published cannot be effective.
In the event that consent for photographs to be taken is withdrawn, the Group will undertake to publish further no photographs of the youth members concerned and will delete any images already taken from any sites and social media over which it has control. It may not be possible to remove all images and photographs from the historical record online or elsewhere.
Please note that as many Scouting events happen in the open air and in publicly accessible spaces, it is not possible to guarantee that photographs are not taken by people unconnected with the group. 1st Ince and Elton Scout Group may store an image of youth members and/or their parents/guardians on the Online Scout Manager (OSM) membership database as part of the personal information stored there.

While the college admission process is a well-known student stressor, a lot of people don't realize how much pressure it puts on parents as well. Not only are there financial factors to take into consideration (and let's face it—they can make your eyes water), but there's also the fact that you can only guide your child so far in the process. After that, they'll be navigating solo—perhaps for the first time in their lives.
But before you get all misty-eyed or start breaking out the moving boxes (or both!), one thing you can do is set your child up for a healthy financial future. And you can do this no matter what your financial situation is.
How? By learning about the connection between the ACT and scholarships. Spending just a few minutes debunking common misconceptions can end up saving you money—and your child thousands in student loan debts. With that in mind, let's take a look at the myths and realities surrounding the ACT and scholarship possibilities.
This is absolutely untrue. This myth arose because the PSAT/NMSQT serves as the test for the National Merit Scholarship, while the PreACT doesn't. Nevertheless, those are the "pre-" tests. There are thousands of scholarships available for students based on ACT scores. Sometimes the scholarships, particularly those offered by colleges themselves, will be based entirely on ACT scores. In other cases, factors such as GPA, essays, and recommendations will come into play.
Bottom line? If you're encouraging your child to take the SAT instead of the ACT because you're afraid taking the ACT will narrow his or her chances at scholarships, don't! Instead, suggest that your child take both an SAT and ACT practice test and see how well he or she does on each "diagnostic." Then he or she can start prepping for their choice of test.
Related: How do I choose between the SAT and ACT?
The ACT scoring scale runs from 1–36 in each subject area (ACT English, ACT Math, ACT Reading, and ACT Science), with the overall ACT score averaging the sectional scores. Scores above 30 make students extremely competitive, not only for scholarships, but for admission to top universities; after all, scoring above 30 means your student is scoring better than 90% of all test-takers.
But does your child need a 30+ score to get a scholarship? Absolutely not! Even though the average ACT score hovers around 21, students scoring in almost all ranges from 14+ can get scholarships based on other application factors.
First of all, there's a lot of great ACT prep resources out there that cost absolutely nothing. One of the first ways you can help your student prepare for the ACT is by encouraging your school district to invest in the PreACT (it's only given by schools). Given during students' sophomore year, this test only costs schools $12 a student (and costs you nothing) while introducing your child to the form and content of the test—as well as lighting a fire under him or her to start prepping for junior year college admission testing!
Even if it doesn't cost money, ACT prep still takes time, yes. And time is one thing there's never enough of. Without taking time away from your child's schoolwork, though, making ACT prep a priority will pay big dividends in the future, in terms of both college admission and scholarships. And every hour of study counts!
Still unsure? Let's take a look at Oklahoma State University's out-of-state freshman scholarship page. If your child scores a 24 on the ACT (and meets GPA requirements), he or she could get $32,000 over four years. If your child brings that up to a 25, though (with the exact same GPA requirements), he or she could get $39,000 over four years. That's a $7,000 difference for one point on the ACT!
At the end of the day, prepping for the ACT will come down to your student and the amount of work he or she is willing to put into it. But you should know that there are a lot of tools out there that can help you equip your child with the materials he or she needs to get the ACT scores now that will translate into a happy financial future later. So don't dismiss the ACT when it comes to test-taking options—it just may be the key to landing the scholarship that changes your child's life! And helps you get that beach house, of course.

Tim Tebow Commits Suicide, Apparently Depressed Over World Politics
DENVER–Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow was found dead late Tuesday evening in a ritzy Denver hotel room from an apparent suicide. The team and city are shocked, along with the nation's football fans.
"It was apparently a suicide, but the details are still coming in," a Denver County sheriff told reporters. "All we know is that a note was left at the scene, and we are working to confirm that it was written by the victim."
Sections of the letter, allegedly written by Tebow, leaked online early Thursday morning. It contained deep remorse and depression over the politics of the world, and the upcoming confrontation between Iran and the U.S., NATO, and Israel. The authenticity of the letter's sections online are being bickered over by sports fans everywhere. "It's gotta be a joke, man," one fan wrote on his Facebook page. "Tebow's forever."
Significant parts of the letter show a world famous NFL quarterback actively engaged in politics, and ultimately swallowed in the resulting despair. "We are headed for World War III and nobody seems to care, except about me. It's Tebow this, Tebow that, but nobody cares about the new embargoes on Iran, or the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz," the letter stated. "We're already at war with Iran."
"Eight or nine dollar gas will bankrupt what remains of the American middle class," the letter went on to say, "and will plunge the world's economy into an even deeper depression, if you can believe that. Sure, I'll be OK through it all. I've got plenty of money, but most of you don't, but you still don't care about what's coming."
The letter, from that point on, grew even darker and more serious, and betrayed a frantic superstar needing time away from the spotlight.
"Why can't people focus on what matters before and after the football game?" Tebow allegedly wrote. "Cheer for me for a few hours, fine, but then go home and do your country a favor. Research what's going on in the world. Educate yourself. But I know you won't do that, so I'm taking myself out from between you and reality. I think Jesus will understand. I hope every other sports or entertainment figure in my position does the same thing. Help make this world a better place."
The letter ended on a very remorseful, yet thankful note to family, friends, and fans. It was signed by Tim Tebow, but authorities admitted they weren't ready to confirm the sloppy signature as the quarterback's.
Broncos' Head Coach John Fox said this: "We are truly saddened by the news. We are stunned and humbled. We will use this energy to attack the Patriots on Saturday."
Tebow was drafted in the first round by Denver in 2010. He had a five year contract with the Broncos for a base value of $11.25 million. On Jan. 8 Tebow threw a career-high 316 yards and two touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and won in overtime 29-23. He set an NFL record for yards per completion (31.6) in a playoff game.

So many gorgeous pumpkins in the market right now and what to do with them other than decorate? I saw this recipe for Roast Pumpkin With Feta and Honey from Lorraine Elliott of Not Quite Nigella blog and couldn't wait to try it.
I love the sweet and tangy combination of the honey and feta. I made this last night and added sautéed swiss chard and it was fantastic! I served it with a maple mustard pork loin chop and actually skipped the side dishes to have a second serving! I also subbed the sesame seeds for dried cranberries which added an additional chewy sweetness. Yum!
Thank you for inspiring me today Lorraine!

Declining Misery Index Boosting P/E (excerpt)
Is "lowflation" good or bad for stocks? In her speech last week, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde warned that inflation might be too low: "There is the emerging risk of what I call 'lowflation,' particularly in the Euro Area. A potentially prolonged period of low inflation can suppress demand and output--and suppress growth and jobs." That sounds like a bearish environment for stocks. However, she then said that the solution is "[m]ore monetary easing, including unconventional measures…" Her advice was directed particularly at the ECB.
More ultra-easy monetary policies from the world's major central banks in response to lowflation is bullish for assets in general and stocks in particular. In the past, there has been an inverse correlation between inflation, as measured by the core personal consumption expenditures deflator (PCED), and the forward P/E of the S&P 500. Most recently, the P/E rose from a low of 10.4 during August 2011 to 15.5 last month. Over that same period, the PCED inflation rate, on a y/y basis, fell from 1.6% to 1.1%.
An even better fit is between the P/E and the Misery Index, which is the sum of the inflation rate and the unemployment rate. Since the 2011 low in the P/E, the Misery Index has declined from 10.6% to 7.8%.
Lowflation is bullish because the Fed is much less likely to tighten as long as it persists. While Fed Chair Janet Yellen caused a stir recently by suggesting that the FOMC might start raising interest rates six months after QE is terminated at the end of this year, she also said it depends on whether inflation rebounds back to 2%.
Today's Morning Briefing: Lowflation. (1) IMF chief warns about "lowflation." (2) P/E inversely correlated with inflation and Misery Index. (3) Central bankers are macroeconomists blindly following the "slack" model. (4) What if globalization, technology, cheap money, and competition are driving lowflation towards deflation? (5) Any signs of deflation in revenues, margins, and earnings? (6) A whole bunch of global forward earnings comparisons. (7) Focus on underweight-rated S&P 500 Materials. (More forr subscribers.)

Not always before dinner when it's rush hour... usually around 10:00pm when the kids are asleep, no one is around to ask questions and I can sit and try recipes out and make some experiments! Some of them (many of them) turn out a little like witches' potions, some turn out really good, so good in fact that most people tell me, why don's you sell these!

Jyotirao Phule
Mahatma Phule was a prolific social activist and thinker, who pioneered women's education in India especially in Maharashtra.
He was born on 11 April 1827 in Katgun, Satara District in Maharashtra. He belonged to the Mali caste of gardeners and his family was mostly illiterate. His family was well-off owing to success in the flower business. His father Govindrao carried on the family business while also owning some farmland. His mother Chimnabai died when he was just 9 months old.
Phule attended primary school where he learnt the basic 3 R's. He was then pulled off from school and engaged in the family business. However, a family friend on seeing the child Phule's intelligence convinced his father to enrol him in an English missionary school. Phule completed his English schooling in 1847.
It was in 1848 that he read American political activist and philosopher's work 'Rights of Man'. This book influenced his idea of social justice.
Phule understood that the lower castes and women in society were a disadvantaged lot and that their deliverance lay in education.
He taught reading and writing to his wife Savitribai. They then started a school for girls in Pune in 1848, which was the first such school by Indians. He faced social ostracism because of this and even had to leave his parental home.
Later, he started a school for children of the lower castes. He advocated widow remarriage and fought against female infanticide. As an example in the fight against the caste system and untouchability, he opened up the well of his house to people from all castes.
He opened a home for widows and infants as well.
He is credited with using the word 'Dalit' for the depressed classes for the first time. It is a Marathi word meaning 'broken' or 'crushed'.
Mahatma Phule founded the Satyashodhak Samaj on September 24, 1873. Through the society, he opposed caste system, idolatry and denounced the need for priests. He also championed the necessity of rational thinking. He promoted respect for all religions but shunned the rituals associated with them.
Phule inspired many latter-day leaders including B R Ambedkar.
Savitribai was also an active participant in the movement and she continued the work after her husband's death.
Phule was also the Commissioner of the Poona Municipality from 1876 till 1883.
Mahatma Phule passed away in Pune aged 63.

GM Recall List Grows
May 23, 2014 by Michael Tario Personal Injury Attorney Blog Bellingham 0 comments
The nation's largest automaker, General Motors (GM), has been through a lot this year. The first hit was a very recent high profile global recall of over two million Saturn Ions and Chevrolet Cobalts over faulty ignition switches. Now the company has announced that it is recalling more than 218,000 older Chevrolet Aveo cars in the United States and 214 Chevrolet Optra cars in the U.S. territories from model years 2004-2008. The most recent recall is because of a faulty part in the daytime running lights that could overheat and cause a fire, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Unlike the 13 deaths linked to faulty ignition switches, no reports of injuries or fatalities due to faulty running lights have been made. This week's announcement brings to total American vehicle recalls in 2014 up to 29, which is a record high. GM has now recalled almost 11.8 million vehicles in the United States and 15.6 million globally this year alone. Its previous record was in 2004 with 10.7 million vehicles recalled in the U.S.
GM has been fined a record $35 million by the NHTSA and is facing probes by the U.S. Department of Justice, Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission and several states for its handling of the faulty ignition switch, which was discovered by engineers in 2001. GM has been criticized by safety advocates for not recalling the vehicles affected by the bad ignition switch much sooner. In 2005, GM engineers had identified a problem with the ignition switch but executives decided there wasn't a business case for a recall despite the cost of the repair part being only 57 cents. GM expects to complete the internal investigation of its handling of the issue within the next two weeks.
GM spent $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2014 on recall-repair costs and estimates that it will spend an additional $400 million in the second quarter for the same reason. More than 70 lawsuits have been filed by customers who say their vehicles have lost re-sale value as a result of the ignition defect, according to court documents. GM has reached confidential settlements in several lawsuits brought by families of victims of accidents that have been linked to the ignition defect.
On Tuesday, two U.S. senators introduced legislation that would require federal judges to consider the public's interest before granting requests to seal court records in cases that have an impact on public health and safety. This bill was introduced as a response to the GM ignition switch recall.
According to the Center for Auto Safety, it is possible that hundreds more deadly or otherwise serious crashes will be linked to faulty ignition switches. In the past several years, 303 people died in the front seat of Cobalts and Ions, in front-end collisions in which the airbags failed to deploy.
If you own a 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, a 2007 Pontiac G5, a 2003-2007 Saturn Ion; a 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR or Pontiac Solstice, or a 2007 Saturn Sky, schedule an appointment with your nearest GM dealer and ask for the appropriate repairs.
If you or a loved one were injured in an accident, you have enough to deal with. Let an experienced accident attorney fight for the full compensation that you deserve.

Here comes a girl looking like a lemon, hey baalu ……(from the film Prem Loka * kannada)
Akhila Vasan made sure I saw this film. Akhila works for an NGO called the FRHS and has been involved in primarily research studies with young people on gender, sexuality and popular media. Akhila has been part of Blank Noise since 2005/2006
She writes about Prema Loka, a film made in the late 80's:
Prema Loka was a huge hit and inspired many a real life love stories. It was perhaps the first time that an actress was 'imported' from the Bombay film industry who wore 'bold dresses' with a kind of casual nonchalance.
This was a time when there was a crucial change in mainstream 'good and chaste' heroine and 'club- dancing' vamp morphed into one in mainstream movies. The female lead now was both the vamp and the 'good' woman - she wriggled and writhed on the dance floor on some pretext while being the ideal 'bahu' or the wifely material on the other.
Prema Loka became popular for its several nearly explicit kissing scenes. However it is the songs that continue to hold sway over the public even today. With this film, 'crazy star' Ravichandran created a niche for himself as someone who made 'sexy films'.
In this clip the heroine is introduced to the audience for the first time. And it is not surprising that she is reduced to several body parts- hips, lips, breasts….. the lyrics of the song is a description of these various body parts, comparing them to different things- vegetables, fruits - much like the food list here on the blog- a girl like nimbu, lips like tondehannu, breasts like balloon… legs like bale dindu (banana stem)… something that is to be consumed…. And that is what the camera does… titillate and tantalise them with close- up visuals of the woman's breast, lips, waist and hips.
The men in the song say they are happy to give away things for free to the woman….. because they have already got their money's worth of 'free show'.
The song is replete with sexual innuendo…. The first line of the song goes somewhat like this:
Here comes a girl looking like a lemon, hey baalu ……
By 'Baalu' one is supposedly referring to one of the men there but the visual shows a man squeezing balloons and in Kannada the English word 'ball' is pronounced as 'baalu'.
We showed this clip to a group of young college –going men and women in a peri- urban town. Girls were outraged that a girl could walk around a local market dressed like that. And they were quick to distance themselves from her and turn her into the 'other'- she was the typical rich, spoilt girl from a place like Bangalore where such things are 'common'… she was the kind who likes to attract boys' attention…. With a bad reputation…. She was also a threat to girls like themselves….
Boys' response also focussed on the girl and made her responsible for the kind of attention she was attracting in the clip:
'What do you expect if you wear tundu batte (tattered clothes) like that?'
'She wants boys to tease her. That is why she is dressed like that?'
Some even unabashedly shared what they felt like:
'I feel like raping her with my eyes'
The girls to whom u guys showed the clip should have been asked that have they never been harassed when they are dressed 'decently'. The reaction of boys was rather predictable. Whenever guys tells me that a show of skin is asking for rape, My answer to them is that if they happen to see a mother breast feeding a child do they feel like groping her. They have no answer. The scene of a mother breast feeding is something very sacrosanct. They feel no urge because the woman is doing her duty. Whereas if she wears 'less' for no reason whatsoever then she is asking for it. But really, we can't blame men. When women themselves feel that their body is just for the use of men and that they themselves have no claim over it, what can be done? We all women are conditioned to believe that our body is not ours to enjoy. So we must conceal or reveal depending on our lord and master's wishes. And anybody and everybody has God given right to decide our attire. He could be some relative, some roadside Romeo or some neighbour.
The Ignoramus said...
The scene of a mother breast feeding is something very sacrosanct.
Let me play the Devil's Advocate here.
This is what I call ascribing value to something when there exists none. Some men and most women would "like to believe" it is sacrosanct. But at the end of the day, they are breasts. Some conscientious men wouldn't look at a woman feeding her child. Others may not. I don't think anyone can sit as a moral judge and term these fellows as unscrupulous people. After all, they just lack self-control when they see a breast, albeit that of a woman feeding her baby. Might appear like cold logic, but that's what it is.
And anybody and everybody has God given right to decide our attire. He could be some relative, some roadside Romeo or some neighbour.
At least on this one thing, I guess, we are on the same boat. You know, I cannot wear sleeveless shirts and tees to my office, but my female colleagues do it a lot. When I wear the shirt with the top two buttons free, it is "indecent", but when a female colleague does it, it is (or should be) "acceptable".
And yes, when I wear my pant and shirt such that my navel/undies are seen out, I am again being "indecent", but when girls do that, we are not supposed to even see them, leave alone speak about them!!
I am just wondering, whose dressing is controlled more by the society - men's or women's?
And I guess I will continue to wonder till I hit my grave!
are such movies simply a reflection of what society thinks, about a woman's body etc, or do they contribute to influencing and moulding peoples opinion about these issues?
And so, should such scenes be censored?
IMHO, such scenes are rare these days (I don't watch too many movies). However, they were quite common in movies earlier, and I am sure, it has shaped the way men thought about women - that a girl wearing "modern" clothing is "seeking attention". As a matter of fact, even today, we guys do believe that some girls dress to kill (a.k.a. seek attention).
What is different between a civilized man and a non-civilized man is the way in which he responds to a girl who he thinks is seeking attention. The movie here shows uncivilized behavior, which, I think was the norm in all the movies released in those days.
Probably, in the modern movies, the response is more polished. But the aspect of the girl seeking attention by her dressing continues.
I find this website and comments rather bizarre. Bizarre because it is so paradoxical in the light of Indian history. I am a history buff and I'll give y'all a good history lesson.
Prior to the Muslim invasions, in many parts of ancient India, it was often common to see women wearing saris in the streets without any blouse and thus their breasts were often uncovered. In addition, you would also find dancers in the temples (the famous temple dancers of ancient India). Ancient India was a bastion of sexual promiscuity and liberalism. How do you think the erotic images in Kajuraho came into being? Kajuraho was reflective of the ancient Indian culture during the times of Asoka and before the Muslim invasions.
After the Muslim invasions, the society became more conservative in response to the Muslim influence as well as due to other factors. But the Brits really gave a new meaning to conservatism. The eunuch Queen Victoria was so conservative that it was rumored that she didn't have sex for decades. And she imposed her brand British Wahhabi conservatism on England and the rest of the British Empire. Thus her reign was called the Victorian Age. The British often emasculated the sexually liberal cultural practices of the Indians and the Indians, having acquired an inferiority complex since the Rebellion of 1857, became more and more conservative in order to deflect the British criticism of their "savage", "unclean", and "dirty" cultural practices such as temple dancers, uncovered breasts under saris, sexual liberalism, polygamy, polyandry, homosexuality, etc. How the sub-culture of chakkas/hijras survived the British influence, we will never know. The Arya Samaj led this conservative transformation in the Indian society, thus doing the bidding of the eunuch Queen of England and turning Indian society a model of the Victorian Wahabbi conservatism.
The end result is that today, it is considered anti-Indian to dress in sexually provocative Western clothes. Nothing could be further from the truth. Being sexually liberal is a hallmark of ancient Indian culture and I think that if the Indian society at large threw off the Victorian yoke of conservatism, it would become re-discover its roots in a liberal and tolerant society that is the definition of true Indian culture. I often find it amusing when the Shiv Sena rails against St. Valentine's day, Western clothes, and sexually liberal mores as being against the Indian culture. If only they could realize the irony of supporting the policies of an eunuch 19th century English queen as well as the conservative Muslims!
As for the epidemic of eve-teasing, it is nothing more than an expression of repressed heteroerotic fantasies of confused and possibly illiterate males with raging hormones who know nothing of their ancestors' glorious history in sophisticated erotica; they employ crude methods such as eve-teasing to seek release from the repressive influences of a conservative society. It is my strong belief that if every woman in the country was dressed in Indian clothes from the ancient times (the salwar kameez was unknown during the reign of Asoka), and the males understood the rules of a sexually liberal society, then there would not be any need for eve-teasing!
"Prior to the Muslim invasions, in many parts of ancient India,"
Firstly, India only came into existence after 1947,
"expression of repressed heteroerotic fantasies of confused and possibly illiterate males with raging hormones"
what does illiteracy have to do with 'eve- teasing'? why do we feel it is more common for the perpetrators to be 'uneducated' men?
What does our education teach us that might solve the problem of sexual harassment?
"then there would not be any need for eve-teasing!"
Implying that 'eve-teasing' is now a need? and it can be justified because of the context?
@ ignoramus,
"I am just wondering, whose dressing is controlled more by the society - men's or women's?"
Is a man made to feel he asks for it if he is sexually harassed when dressed 'indecently'?
also, when society tries regulates the way men dress, is it done with the intention to restrict their sexuality, or simply that shorts aren't appropriate in formal ofice atmosphere?
But a woman is often made to feel she ought to dress "modestly".
Is modesty such an important part of a man's life?
"and the males understood the rules of a sexually liberal society"
what are the rules of a sexually liberal society?
Do you think men sexually harass women because they are "sexually repressed? or is it just another symptom of a patriarchal society?
'Ancient India was a bastion of sexual promiscuity and liberalism.'
Dispute this: eve-teasing is a liberal sexual practice.
I have a problem with the binary that is being created in this site.
Somehow ,sexually liberal is equated with progressive.
Ancient India also had sages who fasted for days on end(no food,no sex) in the hope of spiritual rigour.
They weren't regressive.They gave us Yoga.
To be sexually inactive or active is a choice.For the Wahhabis or Queen Victoria or Akka Mahadevi who refused to be exploited in her own way.
And Anonymous,as for ancient Indian Society,I would have fallen in line with your argument that the Muslims brought all the regression, but our ancient Indian society also burned its widows, married off children and discriminated against entire sections of itself in the name of caste.
The world over, Muslim societies are being looked at as repressed because women veil themselves but its these same societies that also had kings with huge harems.
So no one can claim a meaning on the past on the basis of just one viewpoint.
@Tariq
You have completely missed the point.
The point is simply this: Irrespective of what the reasons are, there are restrictions imposed on the dressing of both men and women, by the society.
Also, there is no logical reason to accept one reason and reject the other. If you accept "inappropriateness" for men, you should accept "sexuality" for women. Else, reject both reasons, and pitch in for a society which lifts all kinds of restrictions on both men's and women's dressing. At least, I will appreciate you for your consistency.
Else, don't cry hoarse about women's dressing being "restricted" by society.
P.S: Times Life in Bangalore today carries an article of how fashion is taking a new turn, where girls go "mild" rather than "wild" these days. Obviously, some people have started feeling cloyed by unending exposure to skin in the celeb-world!
In response to tariq's comments on my original posting:
> Firstly, India only came into existence after 1947,
I was referring to the Indian subcontinent in ancient times, not the Republic of India. There was no need to point out the obvious.
> what does illiteracy have to do with 'eve- teasing'?
Higher literacy = higher maturity = lower incidence of eve-teasing.
> why do we feel it is more common for the perpetrators to be 'uneducated' men?
Because they're immature and are indifferent to whether they are labeled as immature or idiots. I would think that educated folks would not want to be called ignorant, immature, or other terms associated with people who engage in eve-teasing.
Even in the U.S., there is eve-teasing going on but it is often practiced by construction workers and other low-skilled laborers who have secondary school level education or lower. My argument is that illiteracy is one of the major causal factors of eve-teasing.
> What does our education teach us that might solve the problem of sexual harassment?
If our education emphasizes humanities as expounded by Tagore, Kalidasa, Kabir, Sarojini Naidu, and others, then the males would be sufficiently enlightened to the extent that their respect for women would prevent them from engaging in explicit eve-teasing.
> Implying that 'eve-teasing' is now a need? and it can be justified because of the context?
I'm afraid I made a poor choice of words. I had not meant to imply that eve-teasing is a 'need'. Rather, I should have said,
'there would not be any basis for eve-teasing'
This would be consistent with my earlier argument that illiteracy and immaturity forms the basis of eve-teasing.
> what are the rules of a sexually liberal society?
That is a very good question. That is for the historians to find out. I would love to know how the ancient Indian society operated within the framework of the interaction between the two sexes without any of the alien Victorian and Muslim strictures
> Do you think men sexually harass women because they are "sexually repressed? or is it just another symptom of a
> patriarchal society?
It would be the former. That is because the countries of Northern and Western Europe as well as North America have shown that even within a patriarchal society, the harassment of women is far less widespread than in the Indian subcontinent due to the more enlightened and liberal attitudes towards sexual relations. Indeed, during the filming of the popular U.S. reality TV show, "The Amazing Race" in India, the American female show participants often commented on the eve-teasing they experienced during the duration of the show, an experience that they have not experienced in their own country.
In response to screen sifar's comments on my original posting:
> I have a problem with the binary that is being created in this site.
> Somehow ,sexually liberal is equated with progressive.
> Ancient India also had sages who fasted for days on end(no food,no sex) in the hope of spiritual rigour.

You should not compare the voluntary celibacy of the ancient sages with the involuntary celibacy or strictures imposed on members of a society.
> To be sexually inactive or active is a choice.
Agreed. So if a woman wants to dress provocatively, the society should not comment on this choice, should not do anything about the choice, and simply should leave the woman alone. Just as the society does not say a word about the extreme celibacy of a sage and so the society should not say one word about the extreme promiscuity of a temple dancer.
> For the Wahhabis or Queen Victoria or Akka Mahadevi who refused to be exploited in her own way.
They may have refused to be exploited in their own way but they had absolutely no right to impose their extreme celibacy on the rest of the society. As you said, to be sexually inactive or active is a choice and it is an INDIVIDUAL choice.
> And Anonymous,as for ancient Indian Society,I would have fallen in line with your argument that the Muslims
> brought all the regression,
I never argued that the Muslims alone brought all the regression. I believe they contributed to the regression to some extent but they were were actually a lot more liberal about the mores of the Indian society than the British (Akbar was a prime example of the live-and-let-live philosophy of the Sufi-influenced medieval Indian Muslims). It was not until the British came with their Victorian strictures that the Indian society started to become far more conservative.
> but our ancient Indian society also burned its widows,
The practice of sati/sutee was mostly limited to the Rajputs during the medieval times. I doubt that it was a widespread practiced (if it even existed) during the times of Asoka. This would be a good subject for historical research.
> married off children
> discriminated against entire sections of itself in the name of caste.
Enforcement of caste was not widespread in Asoka's time. In fact, the enforcement of caste was mostly a creation of the British, as per the comment in Wikipedia:
"Caste" became an important element of Indian politics after the British imperialists used "caste"-based classifications as the basis of classifying the colonized Indian population, especially the Hindus, in the population censuses of late 19th Century. This became more specific in the 1901 Census, because the Indian population, not being aware of what the Brahmins thought of them, by and large did not understand what was meant by "caste" and gave their occupation, religion, education, etc. as their "caste".[2]. This time the census enumerators insisted on slotting the population into the four varna categories, even if it meant a loose fit. Thus the British succeeded in melding the empirical reality of jatis (communities) with the Brahmin's theoretical construct of varna (categorization of occupations), as "caste"(inherited social status), causing the popular modern perception of Indian society having been "always" divided into the four "hereditary" "caste" groups from "time immemorial".

Other things aside it's a pretty revolting clip, cause of the idiotic guys. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I can't understand what they're saying. Also I'd appreciate it if someone could explain what the heck they mean by 'looking like a lemon'.
To anyone who thinks that illiteracy is the only factor contributing to random harassment, there are guys rolling around in their cars, hooting and hollering and inviting random girls in. Still I back you up on there being a greater percentage of illiterate people doing it, which is not the same as saying all of them are pigs.
Finally, regardless of what caused the change to conservatism, the ancient asian subcontinent (India to all the non-pedantic people) was way more awesome, way more civilized and also way more liberal than our current situation. People tend to forget that. Perhaps instead of calling anything less than total cover up, 'modern' dressing (a term I really dislike) they ought to call it ancient.
@the ignoramus: Yeah I was annoyed by the same thing in the times life in my city, seems we get it a bit earlier. A true WTF moment.
I just realised that my blogger nick can be a magnet for malice here....don't get all worked up, it's supposed to be ironic. As in, funny cause I'm *not* a savage ape.

I have always noticed that South Indian movies i.e Tamil, Telugu .etc. have more sexual content and double meaning words than Bollywood movies.

screen sifar: where did you get that binary from?
@Rupesh Mandal- referring to your comment about south indian films vs bollywood, have you seen Heyy Babyy?
@The Ignoramus- you make pre-Muslim invasion India south like a paradise of sexual liberation. Did the Manusmriti not exist 'before the Muslims came'?
And sorry, it is the biggest myth in the world that education eradicates sexually predatory behaviour.
I think you have addressed the wrong person.
Sorry, that should have been addressed to the anonymous one.
Hi Hemangini!
where did I get that binary from?
It comes from growing up between sexism and feminism.
Sexism does'nt allow any reasonable articulation before the wedding night ,and feminism(mainstream) would urge you to masturbate.
A lot of our energies are spent in trying to build sexual mores for ourselves, and I don't want to walk in here and feel like all that I've done needs to be redone.We all have ways of coping, coming clean, expressing our sexuality...and the nature of blogging combined with all the sexual pain that we women endure in our lives makes this a difficult therefore interesting domain.
On my own blog, (and I write from a young Gujarati city) while some people might think of the sexual also as something funny there are others who would think it to be coquettish.
But what has to be said, has to be said.I think that I'm trying to say that you cannot plot a graph that says slut,frigid,conservative,da da da...
I'm being oblique.But I hope you understand?
screen sifar- feminism is a word or an idea that contains multiple meanings and interpretations. do elaborate yours so that one can understand.

i see nothing wrong with the way she's dressed. Am i missing something here?
Hmm, thats a very very big one:)
Tell you what, why don't you read some of what I've written on the blog(s).
Feminism means coming here even if I don't have to, because I have to.
It means taking aggression and throwing it back, and taking yourself seriously.
From being premature to just born to ripened to wise, it beats me to have to acknowledge you but I just did.
That's feminism.
sporadicbloggler, but education _does_ fix harassment. Mere learning/schooling does not.
I shall refer you to S. Clemens on that one.

Unfortunately, the people ogling at the actress are taporis (probably lower caste Hindus who don't exactly look and think {Thank God!} like Shashi Tharoor). I am sure the actress would be blushing in a sensuous scene if the eve-teaser was an educated, upper-class tall and handsome English speaking man. Whatever happened to all the Hindi and English songs which "objectify" women with much worse innuendo? Bloggers such as this are as much a reason for the hypocritical prudishness of Indians as are depraved unemployed youth (who are typically dark in complexion and probably from the poor/lower-middle class society). There are much bigger social and economic problems which demand urgent attention. The least that a feminist could do to help the country is by changing the subject of her blog. Unless there is a change in the general social and economic situation of the country, eve teasing and the anti-eve-teasing shrews will flourish.
"I am sure the actress would be blushing in a sensuous scene if the eve-teaser was an educated, upper-class tall and handsome English speaking man."
That's an extremely offensive generalization. Whether or not he was good-looking or upper-class is not the issue; if a so-called "educated" and "English-speaking" man were to sexually harass(eve tease) me in the street, it would NOT be a compliment. Eve teasing is never a compliment to a victim of it, no matter who the perpetrator.
ok screen sifar. hope you sort out why you acknowledge the project...going by your statement above...it beats me too! thanks for sharing your definition and being a supporter/ visitor/ 'feminist'?

Catalyst Successfully Completes First Subcutaneous Factor IX Dosing Group in Hemophilia B Clinical Trial
by Margarida Azevedo, MSc | September 29, 2017
Catalyst Biosciences recently announced that its collaborator, ISU Abixs, has completed dosing of the first subcutaneous cohort in an ongoing Phase 1/2 proof-of-concept clinical trial in people with severe hemophilia B. This patient group is the second of up to five involved in the study.
CB 2679d (also known as ISU304) is Catalyst's highly potent, next-generation coagulation Factor IX product. It is being tested for its potential capability of subcutaneous prophylactic (preventive) treatment of hemophilia B.
Three South Korean centers are conducting the Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT03186677), which is evaluating the bioavailability (the proportion of the drug that has an active effect) and clotting ability of CB 2679d. The trial has single intravenous and subcutaneous dosing groups, followed by daily subcutaneous injections of CB 2679d.
Catalyst announced earlier this month the first results of the trial, from the first dosing group, with positive outcomes. These results showed that an intravenous dose of CB 2679d was approximately 22 times more potent than an intravenous dose of BeneFIX (Pfizer's standard-of-care replacement therapy) used in the trial as an active comparator. These first results also showed that CB 2679d stayed in blood circulation for a longer average time than BeneFIX (34 versus 25 hours, respectively).
Interim top-line results are expected by the end of 2017. Complete trial results are expected in early 2018.
"The positive results that we reported earlier this month from Cohort 1 (N = 3) demonstrated the drug potency and circulation profile that we believe will support subcutaneous prophylaxis and may normalize Factor IX levels. Results from the Phase 1/2 trial will be reported at upcoming medical conferences," Nassim Usman, PhD, president and CEO of Catalyst, said in a press release. "Currently approved hemophilia B therapies require frequent intravenous infusions and do not result in sustained normalization of Factor IX activity – we aim to change this treatment paradigm."
In June, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) granted orphan drug status to Catalyst's CB 2679d for the treatment of hemophilia B.
"Hemophilia B is life-threatening and can be chronically debilitating for afflicted individuals," Usman said in a press release at the time of the orphan drug status announcement. "With this important designation, we are optimistic that CB 2679d may provide a significant benefit over existing treatments that rely on frequent intravenous infusions [IV administrations] by providing simpler subcutaneous [injected] dosing and potentially, normalization of FIX activity," he said.
