Conducting gestures are preferably prepared beforehand by the conductor while studying the score, but may sometimes be spontaneous. A distinction is sometimes made between orchestral conducting and choral conducting.
(Redirected from Genital mutilation) The terms genital modification and genital mutilation can refer to permanent or temporary changes to human sex organs. Some forms of genital alteration are performed on an adult at his or her own behest, with their informed consent.
In its report They Took Me and Told Me Nothing: Female Genital Mutilation in Iraqi Kurdistan, Human Rights Watch uses the term female genital mutilation or FGM. Female genital cutting (FGC) is a term that is also used by activists and health advocates to show the dangers associated with the practice. This term is sometimes also referred to as female genital mutilation/cutting or FGM/C. Female circumcision is a term used to describe the practice that does not take into consideration the harm associated with it. It is misleading because it implicitly compares the practice with male circumcision, regardless of the fact that FGM is a considerably more invasive procedure and is not conducted for medical purposes.
