Today female circumcision is common in more than 30 countries, mostly in many Middle Eastern and African countries. Doctors who practice female circumcision say that there are many reasons for this – from religious beliefs to the development of cervical cancer. However, this is not a good enough reason to endanger a woman, and especially child’s health. Often the process of healing after circumcision can take a long time and can be uncertain. This procedure can cause bleeding and infertility, and sometimes even lead to death.
In honor of the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad 284 families in Jakarta, Indonesia , received money for their daughters participating in a mass circumcision. Winner of numerous awards, photographer Stephanie Sinclair visited this ceremony and presents us these moving photos of the scene.

The mine has always been considered a very prospective business but lately the coal was abandoned in central region as a mean of power production. Decrease began in 1990s. And there were times when only in Tula Region there were 30 coal-pits speaking nothing about those in Ryazan, Tver and Smolensk.

Airbus with its A380 passenger aircraft delivers an unparalleled level of comfort that no other aircraft in the sky can match. The entire second deck of the plane is occupied by business and first classes. Seats can easily become beds and passengers are given futons for convenience. Every passenger has its own fridge with cool drinks next to him, and at the back of the plane one can sit in the high-end bar idly discussing a problem of the Large Hadron Collider launch with a talkative bartender. What else can you say? Only that there are two spacious shower cubicles at the front of the plane. It will be the first time you’ll wish the flight is never over.
