		Body modification (or body alteration) is the permanent or semi-permanent altering of the human body for non-medical reasons, most often religious or aesthetic.
		One controversial form of body modification is people attempting to resemble another race, such as Asians having their epicanthic folds modified to resemble Caucasian eyes or skin lightened with dyes, or African-Americans straightening their hair.
		Modification of another's body without their consent for non-therapeutic reasons, such as in routine male and female neonatal circumcision, is also highly controversial.

	Body modification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Body modification (or body alteration) is the permanent or semi-permanent deliberate altering of the human body for non-medical reasons, such as spiritual, various social (markings) or aesthetic.
		One controversial objective of body modification is the attempt to resemble another race, such as Asians having their epicanthal folds modified to resemble non-Asian eyes or skin lightened with dyes (or even surgically), suntanning, increase in lips, or buttocks size by Caucasians, or African-Americans straightening their hair or getting a nose job.
		Those opposed to the practice of sexual reassignment surgery may consider it genital mutilation, done for psychological reasons; this is universally rejected by those in favor of it, who more often consider the reasons medical.

	CAST: Curriculum Modification
		Although the major focus of this study was on the modification of materials, the results suggested that teachers' perceptions regarding the effectiveness of curriculum modification shifted from uncertain to preferable, and that such a positive shift of teacher perceptions would affect the successful practice of modified inquiries.
		Buxton emphasized that curriculum modification needs to be student-centered in a way that the content of modification is connected to students' own lives, and that students need to understand the value of their prior experiences and to help teachers tailor the instruction.
		Comfort suggests 4 factors fostering curriculum modification: (a) a school system curriculum of appropriate breadth and specificity, (b) the curriculum development and implementation processes that include an integral role for teachers, (c) the expectations for greater collaborative relationship, and (d) the provision of orientations to and encouragement of the practice of curriculum modification.

	Weather Modification
		Along with attracting attention as a potential water supply source, weather modification is of interest because of its varied and changing status in the scientific and public policy communities; it has an aura of controversy.
		During the early years of weather modification work in the 1950s and 1960s, the shift from research to actual application was too rapid.
		The policy statement concludes that the science of weather modification is mostly still in a research and experimentation stage, with more work to be done to establish a sound scientific basis.

		The purpose of this rule is to establish criteria for the modification of manual rates through the application of insurer rate modification plans and to the reporting of pertinent information concerning the utilization of such plans, in order to determine whether rates developed thereunder meet the standards of the rating law.
		"Rate modification plan" means a rating plan or procedure which provides a listing of various risk characteristics or conditions and a range of modification factors which may be applied for those characteristics or conditions to the manual rate of a particular insurance risk.
		An insurer's filing of changes or revisions to rate modification plans it previously filed may not result in the elimination of a debit or credit established under the prior plan for a risk currently insured by the insurer.

	Mod (computer gaming) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mod or modification is a term generally applied to computer games, especially first-person shooters and real-time strategy games.
		Mods in general are required to be non-commercial (free) when they include any parts from another mod, or the main game, which by their nature they always do.
		In general the most modification friendly games will define gameplay variables in text or other non proprietary format files (for instance in the Civilization series one could alter the movement rate along roads and many other factors), and have graphics of a standard format such as bitmaps.

	RFC 3214 (rfc3214) - LSP Modification Using CR-LDP
		That is, modification is not defined nor allowed during the LSP establishment or label release/withdraw phases.
		In the event of a modification failure, all modifications to the LSP including the holding priority must be restored to their original values.
		However, in this case the L3 bandwidth modification is performed with a lower priority (higher Mp value) since L3 is routed on a secondary path, which results in the higher bandwidth allocation priority being given to the LSPs that are on their primary paths [2].

	Modification
		This increase in the number of modified people lead to two things, the growth of the body modification industry, which lead to the development of scarification in the west, as well as new modifications such as transdermal implants, and the separation of body modification from the subcultures with which it was associated.
		Body modification was no longer a practice of fringe subcultures, but it still carried the same stigma as the cultures it "\Ãwë was formerly associated with.
		Body modification has not only been accepted by the MTV generation, but has spread through mainstream society to be found in nearly all walks of life.

		The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.
		While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril.

		Weather modification is the effort of man to change naturally occurring weather, for the benefit of someone.
		that (1) the modification attempt did, in fact, alter the weather and (2) the modification of the weather was, in fact, the cause of the plaintiff's damage and that this damage would not have occurred otherwise.
		Scientists who are experts in weather modification may be more sympathetic to the defendant cloud seeder than to injured plaintiffs, so it may be difficult for plaintiffs to find credible expert witnesses to testify on their behalf.

	Institute of Food Science & Technology: Genetic Modification (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The collective term "Genetically Modified Organisms" or GMOs is used frequently in regulatory documents and in the scientific literature to describe plants, animals and micro-organisms which have had DNA introduced into them by means other than by combination of an egg and a sperm or by natural bacterial conjugation.
		It must also contain a dynamic element to take into account that the continuing modification of a food will require that the most recent novel food is compared with an appropriate former novel food and not necessarily with the original and traditional counterpart.
		Whilst investigations into this case have shown that the problems were not directly related to the genetic modification as originally claimed (and still perpetuated by some) they emphasise that a greater awareness of the possible areas of concern is needed when assessing the safety of GM foods.
