Circumcision 
 In Western culture (especially in the United States), parents circumcise their sons because it is easier to keep the penis clean and it is more common.
Circumcision 
 Many men and teenage boys in Western countries ask for circumcision simply because they like the appearance.
Circumcision 
 No major medical organization recommends universal circumcision of neonatals (newborns), and no major medical organization calls for banning it.
Circumcision 
 Circumcision reduces sexually transmitted diseases like HIV and HPV, prevents certain kinds of cancer, and gets rid of infections and unpleasant smells under the foreskin.
Circumcision 
 If circumcision is done soon after birth, it makes it less common for baby boys to get urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Circumcision 
 A study done in the United States found that the women prefer a circumcised penis, to look at and in sexual activity, especially if they are going to put their mouth on the penis.
Circumcision 
 In countries where most boys are circumcised as babies, parents sometimes think that uncircumcised boys will be teased.
Circumcision 
 Bullying was a bigger problem in the past when boys had to take showers together at school after gym class or before swimming.
Circumcision 
 The University of the Western Cape in South Africa lists these benefits of medical male circumcision (MMC):
Circumcision 
 Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs / STDs) - Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
Circumcision 
 Provides health benefits for sexual partners - by getting circumcised, you not only reduce your own HIV and STI risk, but your partner’s too.
Circumcision 
 Also, when a guy is not circumcised, moisture can get trapped between his penis and the foreskin, which creates an ideal environment for bacteria to grow.
Circumcision 
 Removing the foreskin gets rid of the wet, warm and dark environment that can sustain viruses such as HIV and other sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis, herpes and chancroids.
Circumcision 
 Reduces the risk of penile cancer - Although cancer of the penis is rare, it's less common in circumcised men.
Circumcision 
 Decreased risk of urinary tract infections - The overall risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these infections are more common in uncircumcised males.
Circumcision 
 Circumcision simplifies the task of keeping the penis clean and keeps you fresher, giving you more confidence
Circumcision 
 Truth: Although there can be some minor loss in sensitivity at the tip of the penis, MMC does not lead to a loss of sexual function and pleasure.
Circumcision 
 In fact, several studies conducted among men after adult medical male circumcision suggest that very few men report their sexual functioning to be worse after circumcision.
Circumcision 
 One study, conducted in 2015, determined that the foreskin does not provide a sexual response or serve a sexual function in men.
Circumcision 
 Instead, it is the corona and frenular (the area under the frenulum) areas which provide sexual response due to the high concentration of genital corpuscles.
Circumcision 
 Out of a large sample of Kenyan men in a controlled trial, 74.8% of men reported higher penile sensitivity two years after circumcision, while only 7.1% reported lower penile sensitivity two years after circumcision.
Circumcision 
 It was deduced that even a retracted foreskin would tend to reduce the stimulus to the corona and frenular areas, particularly on the outward stroke of intercourse.
Circumcision 
 The study determined that “any sexual effect of circumcision must depend solely on the exposure of the glans and not on the absence of the prepuce.”
Circumcision 
 The study concluded that male circumcision has no adverse effect on parameters relevant to sexual function, sensation, sensitivity, satisfaction, or pleasure.
Circumcision 
 The area of the outer and inner foreskin combined spans a wide range: 7–100 cm2 and 18–68 cm2 respectively.
Circumcision 
 In discussing vestigial structures, Charles Darwin stated, “An organ, when rendered useless, may well be variable, for its variations cannot be checked by natural selection.”
Circumcision 
 Others do not like circumcision because they believe it has no medical advantage, or that it is easy to clean under the foreskin, or that circumcision harms the penis or the mind.
Circumcision 
 People who do not like circumcision of baby boys say doctors and parents should not make this decision.
Circumcision 
 According to the CDC, the latest data (from NCHS) on male circumcision in the United States show a 2.5% overall increase in prevalence in males aged 14 to 59 years between 2000 and 2010.
Circumcision 
 The main reason for this 6 point drop is most likely the much faster increase in the Hispanic population, the ethnic group having the lowest circumcision prevalence.
Circumcision 
 The growing Hispanic population in the West accounts for most of the decrease in national prevalence.
Circumcision 
 Because Hispanic and black individuals are over-represented in poorer demographics, the withdrawal of Medicaid funding for elective circumcision in 18 states is of concern to public health, as was also expressed by the authors of the CDC’s recent report.
Circumcision 
 After controlling for other factors, states with Medicaid coverage had hospital circumcision rates 24 percentage points higher than states without such coverage.
Circumcision 
 A study of 96,457 male babies in the state of Maryland found that 75% of new baby boys were circumcised before they left the hospital.
Circumcision 
 It was less common for Asian Americans and Hispanic babies than for White Americans and African Americans babies.,
Circumcision 
 In the Jewish faith, circumcision is an important tradition because it represents the newly born baby being included in the covenant (or agreement) which God made with the prophet Abraham.
Circumcision 
 A mohel is someone who circumcises Jewish baby boys eight days after they are born in accordance with Jewish law.
Circumcision 
 Mohels are traditionally male, but most types of non-orthodox (not fully traditional) types of Judaism allow women to be mohels without restriction.
Circumcision 
 For Jews who observe religious law, the circumcision is performed at a ceremony called a Brit milah.
Circumcision 
 Others, such as Reform Jews may choose to have the circumcision done in a hospital before the baby goes home.
Circumcision 
 They may have a celebration afterwards, or after the birth of a baby girl for whom there is no ritual act.
Circumcision 
 However, there are some injunctions of the prophet Muhammad that explain and command only male circumcision, as a continuation of Abrahamic/Hebraic tradition.
Circumcision 
 For example, the prophet Muhammad said in a hadith that "Five are the acts which are part of  fitrah: Circumcision, clipping or shaving the pubic hair, cutting the nails, plucking or shaving the hair under the armpits and clipping (or shaving) the moustache".
Circumcision 
 Also, according to the Qur'an, Allah ordered Muhammad to follow the religion of Ibrahim (the Hebrew Abraham): "Then We inspired you: 'Follow the religion of Ibrahim, the upright in Faith'." —(
Circumcision 
 Many Islamic scholars say that is an important ritual and a symbolic step of purification along the lines of Abrahamic tradition.
Circumcision 
 It is an accepted tradition in almost all Islamic sects and among most Islamic scholars and theologians.
Circumcision 
 Circumcision is also important within Islam because Islam claims to be the 'truth' and the 'continuation' of the old and true message of Ibrahim/Abraham.
Circumcision 
 According to Islam, God's covenant with Abraham was passed on to Muhammad, whose mission was to continue the covenant.
Circumcision 
 The Quran discusses this covenant in detail in several places, including sura 14 (Ibrahim – Abraham).
Circumcision 
 Ibn Jubayr Sa'id reported: "Ibn `Abbas was asked the following question: 'How was it with you, [when] the Prophet, peace be upon him, died?,'
Circumcision 
 he said, 'I was circumcised at that particular time because the men were usually only circumcised when they became sexually mature.'"
Circumcision 
 And further, Ibn `Abbas reported: "When the Prophet, peace be upon him died, I was circumcised at that particular time."
Circumcision 
 Along with being an important rite of passage, circumcision may have helped people keep track of dates and place events into the correct time and place.
Circumcision 
 a. An Arabic word, literally meaning 'nature' or 'natural' – here it signifies doing the right thing or natural thing.
Moirai 
 Clotho spins the thread of life (begins a person's or creature's life), Lachesis measures it (looks at the how long it currently is), and Atropos cuts the thread.
Moirai

Whaling 
 As technology improved and demand for the seemingly vast resources remained high, far more whales were killed than were born.
Whaling 
 By the middle of the 20th century, there were not enough whales and they were at risk of becoming extinct.
Whaling 
 In 1986, the International Whaling Commission introduced a moratorium on commercial whaling so that whales might recover.
Whaling 
 Countries which are in favor of whaling want to do away with the moratorium, so they can again hunt whales as they did before.
Whaling 
 Countries and environmental groups say that whaling is immoral and should be banned, and that stocks have not yet recovered sufficiently.
Whaling 
 Once they were close to it, they would throw a  that was attached to a very long rope into the whale.
Whaling 
 When the animal died, the whalers would haul the whale onto the ship (big or small), skin it, then boil the blubber for the oil.
Whaling 
 More happily, whales are protected by conservation laws that stop people from killing too many of them.
Whaling 
 Also, chemists invented many products that take the place of whale blubber, and kerosene replaced whale oil in lamps.
Opinion

Side-scrolling video game 
 A famous side-scroller is Super Mario Bros. The character usually moves from left to right but sometimes it is the other way around.
Eating 
 People and animals need to eat because they cannot make their own food inside their bodies like plants.
Eating 
 When you are proven to be fat or obese through your body mass index (BMI), it means you are heavier than the average for your height.
Eating 
 Someone can eat junk food, but they can also balance themselves by also eating fruits and vegetables.
Bathroom 
 A bathroom (also known as a restroom, washroom, toilet or lavatory) is where people go for personal hygiene activities.
Bathroom 
 This includes use of the toilet, wash their hands, brush their teeth, take a bath, or take a shower.
Bathroom 
 The room may also contain a sink, often called a "wash basin", “hair basin” or "hand basin" (in parts of the United States) and often a "lavatory."
Bathroom 
 Baths go back to 3,000 B.C. Usually, a town would have a special building for people to take baths, which sometimes were part of a religious ceremony.
Bathroom

Transposing instrument 
 A transposing instrument is a musical instrument that does not play the notes you might think it will play.
Transposing instrument 
 That is because the transposing instrument is tuned above or below what the usual notes would be, and always above or below by the same number of notes on a scale.
Transposing instrument 
 When writing music for a transposing instrument, or teaching how to play the notes, the entire series of notes is written and described as notes moved up or down a number of semitones.
Transposing instrument 
 For example: playing the note that is called "C" on a B flat clarinet, produces the note that is called "B♭" when played on a piano.
Transposing instrument 
 All transposing instruments such as "horn in F" or "alto saxophone in E♭" mean F and E♭ in normal notes ("concert pitch").
Transposing instrument 
 The note "C" as written and played on the horn in F will sound like an "F" , and the same "C" written for the alto saxophone in E♭ will sound like "E♭".
Transposing instrument 
 The use of transposed notation (writing notes higher or lower than they really are) probably started with the slow changes in how to make instruments.
Transposing instrument 
 There was a "clarinet in C" when Mozart was alive, but was later replaced by the larger, richer sounding "clarinet in B♭".
Transposing instrument 
 Maybe learners of the modern day instrument in B♭ could re-learn how to use their fingers, so they could play with normal notes.
Transposing instrument 
 Instruments such as horns and woodwinds have a natural harmonic series, so it is easier and louder to play in certain keys.
Transposing instrument 
 Also, these instruments can only be played in tune in certain keys, because of a problem with something called "equal temperament".
Transposing instrument 
 Only the key the music is written in, the notes that harmonize with that key, and timbre (what the note sounds like, not just which key it is) change as the different sizes of instrument are used.
Transposing instrument 
 On a descant recorder, the note played with three fingers of the left hand (1-2-3-0-0-0) is a G.  To play a G on a treble (alto) recorder the fingering is 1-2-3-1-2-3.
Transposing instrument 
 This can be confusing at first, but with practice players can get used to changing between the different sizes of recorder.
Transposing instrument 
 That means, if their music is written in the wrong key for the instrument on which they are playing, they can still play it in the right key.
Transposition (music) 
 Transposition or transposing in music means playing or writing music in a way that makes it sound higher or lower.
Transposition (music) 
 This can be done by playing or writing the music in a different key, or by playing or writing it up or down an octave, without changing the key.
Transposition (music) 
 Transposing is a useful skill for people who play an instrument, especially the piano, organ, or some other keyboard instrument.
Transposition (music) 
 If a pianist is accompanying a singer and the song is a little too high for the singer’s voice, it is very useful if he is able to transpose it down so that the music sounds in a lower key.
Transposition (music) 
 For example, if the music is written in the key of C major, it could be transposed down a whole tone so that it sounds in B-flat major.
Transposition (music) 
 Most electronic keyboards and organs these days have buttons which can set notes to transpose automatically.
Transposition (music) 
 It is a good idea for people who play keyboard instruments or other kinds of transposing instruments to practise transposing.
Transposition (music) 
 For example, when transposing from C to B-flat major, each note has to be one tone lower: an A becomes a G, a G becomes an F, an F becomes an E-flat, and so on.
Transposition (music) 
 By watching or hearing the intervals between the notes in of the music and thinking of the same thing in the new key.
Transposition (music) 
 For example: when a note leaps up a major third in the old key, the same needs to happen in the new key.
Transposition (music) 
 Transposing by intervals is the a better way of transposing, but when people transpose they sometimes also transpose the notes the first way, one by one.
Transposition (music) 
 For example, someone who is used to reading music in the alto clef, such as a violist, can transpose up a tone from music written in the treble clef by imagining it was written in the alto clef and playing an octave lower (a note on the middle line in the treble clef is a B, but in the alto clef it is a C).
Erinyes 
 They are often shown with snakes on their heads, blood coming out of their eyes, and looking horrific.
Erinyes 
 Even the Erinyes accepted the decision, and from then on they were also called Eumenides, which means "the kind ones", because they could also let people go in peace if their crime was done for a good reason.
Indian subcontinent 
 The Indian subcontinent is a term mainly used for the geographic region surrounded by the Indian Ocean: Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Indian subcontinent 
 Geologically, the origin of the Himalayas is the impact of the Indian tectonic plate travelling northward at 15 cm per year to slowly hit the Eurasian continent, about 40-50 million years ago.
Indian subcontinent 
 The formation of the Himalayan arc resulted as the lighter rock of the seabeds of that time were easily uplifted into mountains.
Indian subcontinent 
 An often-cited fact used to illustrate this process is that the summit of Mount Everest is made of marine limestone.
Indian subcontinent 
 The existence of the Tethys has been proved by sedimentary rocks settled on the ocean floor, and the volcanoes that fringed its edges.
Indian subcontinent 
 The Indian plate is still driving horizontally below the Tibetan Plateau, which forces the plateau to move upwards.
Indian subcontinent 
 The Indo-Australian plate is still moving at 67 mm per year, and over the next 10 million years it will travel about 1,500 km into Asia.
Indian subcontinent 
 About 20 mm per year of the India-Asia convergence is absorbed by thrusting along the Himalaya southern front.
Horae 
 There are in fact two different groups of goddesses which were known at different times: today they are called the first and second generation to distinguish between them.
Alkmene 
 Alcmene gave birth to Heracles, who was the son of Zeus, and Iphicles, who was the son of Amphitryon.
Alkmene 
 Zeus wanted to kill her for yet another unknown reason of godlore, but Heracles, one day old, saved her.
Danaë 
 Because of that he put his daughter Danaë in a tower where noone was allowed to enter, so she could not have a child.
Danaë 
 But Zeus tells the sea-god Poseidon to help them, and so Danaë and her son come to the island Seriphos.
Akrisios 
 Because of that he put his daughter Danaë in a tower where noone was allowed to enter, so she could not have a child.
Akrisios 
 But Zeus tells the sea-god Poseidon to help them, and so Danaë and her son come to the island Seriphos.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 In Greek mythology, Andromeda (, Androméda or Ἀνδρομέδη, Andromédē) is an Aethiopian princess, the daughter of King Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 When Cassiopeia boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids, this angered the sea god Poseidon, who sent the sea monster Ceto to ravage the land as punishment.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 Desperate, King Cepheus consulted the Oracle of Delphi, who stated that Andromeda must be offered as a sacrifice to the sea monster; Andromeda was then chained to a rock by the shore.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 When the hero Perseus saw Andromeda (having flown over after beheading Medusa), he killed the sea monster and saved Andromeda.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 By Perseus, she is the mother of Perses, Alcaeus, Heleus, Mestor, Sthenelus and Electryon as well as two daughters Autochthe and Gorgophone.
Andromeda (mythology) 
 In Greek, her name means "ruler of men," from  ἀνήρ, ἀνδρός (anēr, andrós - "[of] man"), and medon ("ruler").
Bruntál 
 Its name is in the Unicov Charter published by Přemysl Otakar I. It is the oldest Czech city with Magdeburg Rights, meaning a city that can have its own wall and judges.
Bruntál 
 In Bruntál there are many places that tourists visit – for example, the Castle of Bruntál, the Decanal church of the Virgin Mary, Gabriel's house, Mildner's villa, Klippel's column.
Bruntál 
 Some of the most notable authors who wrote about the place include: Erwin Weiser, Bruno Hanns Wittek, Josef Lowag, and Kurt Langer.
Concerto 
 When an orchestra plays at a concert they might play a symphony (a piece for orchestra) and they might play a concerto (with a soloist).
Concerto 
 If the solo instrument is a violin the piece is called a “violin concerto”, if it is a piano it is called a “piano concerto”, etc.
Concerto 
 The conductor should listen to the way the soloist wants to play and make the orchestra accompany sensitively.
Concerto 
 The solo concerto became popular with composers like Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) who wrote over 400 concertos for various instruments.
Concerto 
 These are violin concertos, and each concerto deals in turn with one of the seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Concerto 
 Many other Baroque composers wrote concertos: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote several concertos for violin although only two have survived, the others have been lost.
Concerto 
 Handel sometimes put pauses in his concertos where the soloist could improvise (make up) some music.
Concerto 
 Concertos ever since have cadenzas where the soloist can show how brilliant they are at playing and at improvising.
Concerto 
 In the Classical period Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) wrote a few concertos including two for the cello, but he is better known for his symphonies.
Concerto 
 He also wrote five violin concertos, four horn concertos, two flute concertos and a clarinet concerto.
Concerto 
 He also wrote concertos for more than one soloist e.g. a flute and harp concerto and a violin and viola concerto which he called Sinfonia Concertante.
Concerto 
 By this time concertos always had three movements: a fast one (usually in sonata form), a slow one, and a fast movement (often a rondo) to finish with.
Concerto 
 The last one, known in English-speaking countries as the Emperor Concerto, is a very big, powerful work which looks forward to the music of the Romantic period.
Concerto 
 At the time everyone thought it was too hard for the soloist to play, but as composers wrote harder and harder music the players had to become better and better.
Concerto 
 People adored creative men like artists, musicians and writers (the time for women to be equal had not yet come).
Concerto 
 He played the violin like no one else had ever done, and because he was a thin, skinny man with a pale face and long hair people thought he looked like the devil.
Concerto 
 Some of the most famous violin concertos of the 19th and 20th centuries include those by Felix Mendelssohn, Max Bruch (no 1), Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Edward Elgar, Dmitri Shostakovich (no 1), Béla Bartók, Alban Berg, Igor Stravinsky and Sir William Walton.
