Why and at what height?
Women, respect, livelihood, only living once, wanted to be proud of the body I saw in the mirror. A lot of parts of life really suck when you’re short, I was just under 5′ 6″ (166) and now im just under 5 ‘ 9″ (174).

What Happened To The Prison Guards Of Dachau Concentration Camp When It Was Liberated?
Walenty Lenarczyk, a prisoner at Dachau, stated that following the camp’s liberation "prisoners swarmed over the wire and grabbed the Americans and lifted them to their shoulders… other prisoners caught the SS men.
The first SS man elbowed one or two prisoners out of his way, but the courage of the prisoners mounted, they knocked them down and nobody could see whether they were stomped or what, but they were killed."

Before and after limb lengthening surgery
Lengthening works by separating the bone and distracting (pulling apart) the bone segments very slowly so that new bone continues to form in the gap. As the bone segments are slowly distracted, the bone regenerates, resulting in increased length. The device that performs the lengthening is called a fixator.
Success Is An Eternal Struggle
Your goal shouldn’t be the end result, but rather the struggle, pain, and excruciating process that leads to it. The goal itself won’t make you better, it’s the grind, the process, and the struggle that will sharpen you, strengthen you, and make you tougher.
The metaphor of success being a mountain with an end point is flawed. There is no end. Believing in an end will take you away from what’s making you better – the grind, the process, and the struggle of an ambitious life.

10 Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse Reveal How It Has Affected Their Lives
1. When I was 11 or 12ish, I was abused by this disgusting monster of a man who I saw as a role model I could trust. He was one of those people who would always be suspiciously, unnaturally polite to people, and being around kids, nobody batted an eye.
I was called into his office in response to me acting out in school and from there i don’t remember much, but the abuse that occured then shaped the rest of my life. (this man went to jail later for a few years for filming young boys in the shower naked at a local school where he volunteered as a basketball coach, but is now FREE… and no accusers have come forth about anything else)
Broken Crayons: These Drawings Were Created By Children Who Were Being Abused
FLOATING
You’re looking at a drawing by an eight-year-old girl. That’s her on the left. The smiling boy is her older brother, and the animal is how she drew her mommy. Nobody knew it at the time, but they were both abusing her. When the doctors found out, they looked back at this picture. That’s when they realized the girl was floating, with no arms and no mouth. They say this means she felt helpless and voiceless, a major clue of abuse in drawings.
Why Does Frankie Pentangeli Immediately Change His Story When He Sees His Brother?
The finished film leaves unclear exactly what about his brother’s presence motivated Frank to change his story. The final film only states that Vincenzo is himself a Mafia chieftain in Sicily.
An early draft of the film explains that Vincenzo, shocked that Frankie is about to break his blood oath and betray the Corleones to government authorities, attends the hearing to remind Frankie that he must not break the Mafia’s code of silence, Omertà.

World War 1 Trench Raider
During World War I, trench raiding emerged as a tactic in trench warfare. It involved small-scale surprise attacks on enemy positions under the cover of night.
Typically, raiding parties consisted of small teams of soldiers who would darken their faces with burnt cork before navigating through the barbed wire and debris of no man’s land to infiltrate enemy trench systems. The distance between friendly and enemy front lines varied, but was generally several hundred meters. Daylight raids were futile as enemy machine gunners and snipers had clear visibility of no man’s land and could easily target anyone revealing themselves above the trench parapet.
