It's not much unlike sticking your hand into a nest of honeybees. It's a twist on a test of manhood in the Amazon jungle. See All National Geographic Videos http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/?source=4001

Surreal animated cartoon from the Fleischer brothers.

With the release of Richard Linklatter's feature-length cartoon version of a Philip K. Dick novel, I thought it a good opportunity to turn, however briefly, to what is still, to me, the gold standard in animated cinema. People who apply the term 'Surreal' to films produced in the early 30s by Max and Dave Fleischer are really missing the point. Indeed there are elements that correspond to that swell in the tidepool of European formalism, but to say that it's a defining characteristic (or even an important one) is to, in the same breath, dismiss everything that made their work so unique. As is plain in even a gem as dark as their 1931 film Bimbo's Initiation, the Fleischers were not just following the aesthetic footprints of Old World models, they were running on the freedom granted them by the knowledge that the only restraint on their vision was the limits of their ability. Nothing else accounts for the exhilaration in the center of their finest work. This was a time when popular art accomodated the strange and the unkempt and the lurid and the beautiful far more easily than any point since, a circumstance that brought forth the wild ether in which something like 'Bimbo's Initiation' could be created. There's more joy and horror in thses seven minutes than in all the latter-day cartoon emanations of the last quarter-century. Tom Sutpen

Todd Rundgren & Utopia - Initiation - Live 1977

COVINGTON, La. — An Oklahoma woman invited to a rural Louisiana campsite for a Ku Klux Klan initiation ritual was shot and killed after she asked to be taken back to town, the sheriff of a New Orleans suburb said Tuesday. Eight people were arrested after authorities found the woman's body hidden under some brush, on the side of a road several miles from the remote campsite where the initiation was planned. Investigators found weapons, several flags and six Klan robes at the campsite, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said in a news release. Strain said the woman, whose identity was not released, was recruited over the Internet to participate in the ritual and then return to her home state to find other members for the white supremacist group. But Strain said the group's leader, Raymond "Chuck" Foster, 44, shot and killed the woman Sunday after a fight broke out when she tried to leave. Foster was charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bond. Capt. George Bonnett, a spokesman for the sheriff's department, said he didn't know what the initiation involved. "We haven't completely sorted out if they finished the initiation," he said. "I assume that they had started it, but I don't know if they were finished." Bonnett said he doesn't know if Foster has an attorney. He also said that in three years with the department, this was the first time he had seen a case involving the KKK.

In January 2002, 150,000 people from throughout India, the Himalayas, and around the world received the Kalachakra initiation in Bodhgaya. The Kalachakra or "Wheel of Time" is an ancient system for awakening the positive forces within both individual and community. Its basic concept is independent of any single religion or nation and is concerned solely with the fundamental ethical values of the individual with relation to the whole. It is founded in a tantric cosmogony -- a traditional sacred explanation of the creation and structure of All. In the description, the microcosm that is Man is not different from the macrocosm that is the Universe.

This video has been produced by UNICEF to save the lives of babies by making sure they have what they need to begin breastfeeding in the first few moments of life. And what they need is to be placed on their mother, naked skin to naked skin, and left to get on with it. Do make sure you stay with it until you see the latch happening at the end. All babies are born to breastfeed, and as you can see, come with the instincts and skills hardwired. Unfortunately, many modern birth practices disrupt this process and prevent it happening. Baby is taken from mother, washed, dressed, and handed around. Well meaning helpers try to push baby onto the breast, or force it to open its mouth before it is ready. Sometimes the baby is trying, and someone will push the back of the baby's head up onto the breast - would you do what was wanted if someone treated you like that? Drugs from modern births pass into the baby's bloodstream, and babies can come out sleepy and disorganised. Sometimes it's a day or two before baby 'wakes up' and by that time, damage has been done by pushing the baby and stressing out the mother. If your baby doesn't achieve this 'miracle' in the first few moments of life, don't despair! You're not alone! Many mothers have sleepy and uninterested babies and go on to a happy and successfull breastfeeding relationship. Protect your milk supply by stimulating your breasts and emptying them regularly, and keep baby naked skin to skin on your chest. Babies can find your breast at any point in the first few weeks, so Don't Panic! http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/baby/back-to-breast.html But it is lovely to see how it can happen, if all the conditions are right. :-) There is a lovely clip of it happening in a more 'Western' setting, on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLboKrCeVOA If you are failed by lactation services, or from lack of support, and end up having to use formula, you should know of the risks, and how to minimse them. This video gives the facts and references you'll need. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M8BjnGCNahU#GU5U2spHI_4

There are millions on this planet that have been infected with a dis-harmonic static that acts like a malignant virus to create a pattern of stress, tension, drama, confusion and disease. It functions within the astral level of character of the being and there is a denotation of violence, dishonesty, degeneration and evil intent. It is in these beings that there is a soul/spirit combination that is expressing in direct confrontation with the energies of the soul in this timeline. As the Planetary Throat Chakra awakens to speak the magical words of creation this empowers the solar plexus and the sacral centers to bring up the kundalini from the root chakra and spin through the Galactic Emerald Heart - www-premieres-com

http://ozoutback.com.au/: Two boys are painted in their "Djapi" initiation ceremony that will culminate in their circumcision in Numbulwar, an Aboriginal community on the western Gulf of Carpentaria.

Baba Rampuri takes you inside the initiation of Naga Babas, traditional naked yogis, at the Kumbh Mela. Intimate and enlightening take on a forbidden world.

A dhapi' initiation ceremony for a Djinba boy in north-central Arnhem Land. Djinang-, Djinba- and Burarra-speaking clanspeople participated in this ceremony, which reached its conclusion on the final day with the circumcision of the young boy (Dhuwa moiety). Powerful scene of men enacting shark, after the circumcision of the boy. Actual 'cutting' scene is not shown, nor other sensitive or restricted material. Notice the distinct difference in the language spoken by the two men (Djinang and Ganalbingu) towards the end of the clip, compared to the more common variety of Yolngu Matha (Dhuwal', Dhuwaya', Dhuwala') in the east (Yirrkala, Galiwin'ku, Gapuwiyak etc.)?
