  • EXCLUSIVE: *NO WEB UNTIL 8PM GMT 13TH MAY* Christina Babin's mum joined the Children of God sex cult when she was just a baby. As she grew up, travelling from commune to commune around the states, she witnessed orgies, prostitution and extreme violence against other kids until the age of 11 when a married couple took her into their bedroom to teach her to "enjoy sex" Such was the control cult leader David Berg had over his followers who he urged to teach children the joys of sex. He also adopted a 'flirty fishing' policy - sending women out to lure men into the cult with sex. Christina was also raped twice "by perverts" during her time in the cult and at 12 sent to Japan where she spent a month in a tough camp being indoctrinated before being sent to communes around Japan for the next two years. When she was 15 she was sent to the Philippines with her brother to a reprogramming camp where she spent 18 months being bullied, having her mouth taped up if she laughed and was forced to read the bible and make pledges to the cult constantly. Other 'inmates' were beaten. Her brother vanished for two months after being put in solitary isolation for having "worldly thoughts" and admitting to once smoking. All through her life she saw kids beaten, had to follow a strict regime, was beaten and disciplined by commune members. Families didn't live traditional lives - the kids lived with the kids and slept alongside them in rooms while the adults had rooms of their own. Victims of the cult include Rose McGowan and the Phoenix acting family. 02 May 2018 Pictured: Christina Babin. Photo credit: MEGA TheMegaAgency.com +1 888 505 6342

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team.

So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears. Hailing from Nelapartipadu village in East Godavari district, Mangayamma was childless after 54 years of marriage. Sh

  • EXCLUSIVE: Erramatti Mangayamma, 73, was so desperate and determined to have a baby that she ‘underaged herself’ to avoid the chances of being ruled out for the IVF treatment. "She lied about her age to avail the treatment. But after fact-checking with her husband and kin, who in turn submitted her school records, we discovered that she was born on September 1, 1946. And we got to know about this after she conceived,” said Dr. S Umashankar, who headed the team of doctors at Ahalya Nursing Home in the southern Indian Andhra Pradesh state's Guntur town. The doctors told the family that they have to live in the hospital during the entire course of pregnancy. “I told her husband that I cannot let you go home as they would jeopardise our treatment plan,” said Dr Uma Shankar. 
Erramatti and her husband were fine with that arrangement. “But we didn’t know how to organise funds for such a pro-longed treatment and stay at the hospital.
It was then the hospital administration told us that we don’t need to worry about the expenses as the entire cost of treatment would be borne by the hospital trust,” said the new mother. The hospital authorities knew that they were staring at an even bigger challenge after they discovered that woman was carrying twins. It was a double whammy for the team. First the woman was 73 and not 65 as claimed by her and secondly, she had conceived twins. “We formed three teams for her. One to look at her nutrition status, second one looked at her cardiac and other health parameters and the third one looked into her pregnancy status,” said Dr Uma Shankar. So finally six-decade-long wait came to end. Mangayamma gave birth to two healthy baby girls on Sept. 5 morning. “Now, no one call me sterile. I thank god and the doctors who have this possible,” said an emotional Erramatti struggling to hold back her tears.

  • Nov. 9, 2013 - Traditional Xhosa culture has been unveiled in the news a lot lately for two reasons; Firstly, Nelson Mandela’s funeral. An unfortunate loss whereby all South Africans shared in mourning the death of their beloved Madiba and great leader. Secondly; the initiations in which young Xhosa boys have to endure. In December 2013, 41 boys lost their lives in an Initiation School, with many, many more around South Africa...For a Xhosa boy to become a man he has to go through an extremely tough initiation and the conditions are unbelievably bad, not to mention the horrendous hygiene issue. They get together in groups where they are taught about traditions and how to conduct oneself like a ‘proper’ (genuine) Xhosa man. They are then circumcised and sent into the bush to fend for themselves for an entire month! Circumcision is done with a blunt blade which all the boys have to share. The mortality rate is exceedingly high, as you can only imagine...In Nelson Mandela’s words (“The Long Walk To Freedom”) he explained when he experienced the first part of his own initiation:..“When I was sixteen, the regent decided that it was time that I became a man. In Xhosa tradition, this is achieved through one means only: circumcision. In my tradition, an uncircumcised male cannot be heir to his father's wealth, cannot marry or officiate in tribal rituals. An uncircumcised Xhosa man is a contradiction in terms, for he is not considered a man at all, but a boy. For the Xhosa people, circumcision represents the formal incorporation of males into society. It is not just a surgical procedure, but a lengthy and elaborate ritual in preparation for manhood. As a Xhosa, I count my years as a man from the date of my circumcision...It was a sacred time; I felt happy and fulfilled taking part in my people's customs and ready to make the transition from boyhood to manhood...

  • Nov. 9, 2013 - Traditional Xhosa culture has been unveiled in the news a lot lately for two reasons; Firstly, Nelson Mandela’s funeral. An unfortunate loss whereby all South Africans shared in mourning the death of their beloved Madiba and great leader. Secondly; the initiations in which young Xhosa boys have to endure. In December 2013, 41 boys lost their lives in an Initiation School, with many, many more around South Africa...For a Xhosa boy to become a man he has to go through an extremely tough initiation and the conditions are unbelievably bad, not to mention the horrendous hygiene issue. They get together in groups where they are taught about traditions and how to conduct oneself like a ‘proper’ (genuine) Xhosa man. They are then circumcised and sent into the bush to fend for themselves for an entire month! Circumcision is done with a blunt blade which all the boys have to share. The mortality rate is exceedingly high, as you can only imagine...In Nelson Mandela’s words (“The Long Walk To Freedom”) he explained when he experienced the first part of his own initiation:..“When I was sixteen, the regent decided that it was time that I became a man. In Xhosa tradition, this is achieved through one means only: circumcision. In my tradition, an uncircumcised male cannot be heir to his father's wealth, cannot marry or officiate in tribal rituals. An uncircumcised Xhosa man is a contradiction in terms, for he is not considered a man at all, but a boy. For the Xhosa people, circumcision represents the formal incorporation of males into society. It is not just a surgical procedure, but a lengthy and elaborate ritual in preparation for manhood. As a Xhosa, I count my years as a man from the date of my circumcision...It was a sacred time; I felt happy and fulfilled taking part in my people's customs and ready to make the transition from boyhood to manhood...

  • May 4, 2019 - BogotÃ, Cundinamarca, Colombia - Pro life and Feminist pro choice groups have a brief verbal dispute during the rally...Under the slogan ''I choose the two lives'' around 500 people demonstrated for the maintenance of traditional family values, against abortion and the killing of social leaders in the country. Catholic and right wing political groups joined the call of the ''United for Life'' Platform (Unidos por la Vida) a widely spread organization in Colombia. Besides the abolition of abortion the organization demands the end of same sex marriage and “gender ideology”. At the end a small group of radical feminists disrupt the congregation to demand fundamental women rights and the right of own choice. (Credit Image: © Eric CortéS/SOPA Images via ZUMA Wire)

  • June 16, 2017 - Kolkata, west bengal, India - Kolkata, West Bengal ,India : The Modi government has imposed a 12% G.S.T on sanitary napkins, while traditional patriarchal marker symbols like Sindoor have been made tax free. Out of 33 crore 50 lakh .women who menstruate in this country, only 30% have access to sanitary napkins, the rest 70% are compelled to use sand and dry wood, thereby causing cervical cancer which takes away 80,000 lives .yearly. Instead of making sanitary health widely accessible, the imposition of 12% G.S.T. makes the right to sanitary health more rare and limited, confined to a few and subject to the directives of world .capitalism, international pharmaceutical lobbies and the Modi Government. This tax reinforces the traditional patriarchal stigma and taboo upon such a normal bodily process as menstruation. An .humanitarian activist group of Kolkata called ' ebong Manobi ' organised a programme infront of Jadavpur university to aware people and to raise voice  against this heinous tax.

Man Lives with Giant Tortoise in Tokyo<br />
Tsukishima, Tokyo, Japan. Bon, the giant tortoise, is an international star online. Mrs. Mitani bought a small tortoise at a supermarket and brought him home 20 years ago. It was in the middle of August, during the traditional "Bon" holiday, which became his namesake. Now, 20 years later, Bon is a meter long and weighs about 70kg. His favorite foods are bananas, apples, cabbage, and carrots.<br />
African spurred tortoises come from a warm habitat, so he always wears a hand-made cloth when he goes out. He usually walks 5-600 meters and it takes him about an hour to an hour and a half to complete his route. <br />
In the interview, Bon’s owner, Mr. Mitani, said, "Bon is like my son." They sure looked like father and son, walking together side by side.

They say the mining company has brought nothing but misery in their lives, taking not only their land without compensation, but their houses too, which are cracked when blasting takes place at the mine. They also risk health complications as a result of a mountain of rocks and dust dumped by the mine as far as 20 metres from their homes. <br />
