Leg lengthening surgery is a type of limb lengthening surgery that ultimately allows you to increase your height. Once the growth plates have fused, undergoing leg lengthening surgery is the only options for adults to avail themselves of in order be able to amplify their height. Leg lengthening surgery cannot only be undergone for the purpose of correcting uneven leg heights in order close the height gap between height discrepancies in legs, but also can be undergo for the purpose of significantly amplifying the individual's height. Undergoing leg lengthening surgery is able "to stimulate bone growth in the legs", thereby increasing a person's height. As part of the leg lengthening surgical procedure, several surgeries are often performed not only on the legs, but also on "the tendons in the legs" in order to "stimulate bone growth". Undergoing leg lengthening surgery can render someone a maximum height of six to eight inches taller if they are willing to undergo leg lengthening surgery on the femurs and another leg lengthening surgery on the tibias. Undergoing leg lengthening surgery is not without is inherit risks and adverse health complications. Undergoing leg lengthening surgery can induce "joint stiffness, soft tissue tightness, skin pain", and can also render someone at a heightened risk for succumbing to bone fractures. Additionally, undergoing leg lengthening surgery can render someone at a higher risk of contracting an infection. Furthermore, undergoing leg lengthening surgery can cause "broken bones, blood clots, swelling, blood vessel injuries, nerve injuries, scarring, and can induce complex regional pain syndrome". Moreover, additional adverse health complications can ensue from undergoing leg lengthening surgery if you adversely react to the anaesthesia provided, if you damage the fixator, and if you experience delayed bone healing. Most people however staunchly believe that the benefits of amplifying their height preponderantly outweigh the risks involved with undergoing leg lengthening surgery. There are two disparate surgical approaches that surgeons can utilize to perform leg lengthening surgery. Both of these surgical approaches are ineffably painful to experience the brunt of first-hand. One surgical approach to perform leg lengthening surgery entails "applying pins and a frame outside the leg called an external fixator". The other surgical approach to perform leg lengthening surgery "inserting a nail, called an intramedullary nail into the bone. The nail can be lengthened over time to support bone growth and elongation". The typical surgical approach to perform leg lengthening surgery involve "cutting the bone in a key area, applying metal pins and screws in the bone, and attaching external metal devices to the pins. The 'fixators' are able help to pull the cut area of the bone apart in order to stimulate new bone growth. The success rate for limb-lengthening surgery is about 95%, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery".




The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society


Book Description

This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.

The Belmont Report


Book Description




The Challenge of Crime


Book Description

The development of crime policy in the United States for many generations has been hampered by a drastic shortage of knowledge and data, an excess of partisanship and instinctual responses, and a one-way tendency to expand the criminal justice system. Even if a three-decade pattern of prison growth came to a full stop in the early 2000s, the current decade will be by far the most punitive in U.S. history, hitting some minority communities particularly hard. The book examines the history, scope, and effects of the revolution in America's response to crime since 1970. Henry Ruth and Kevin Reitz offer a comprehensive, long-term, pragmatic approach to increase public understanding of and find improvements in the nation's response to crime. Concentrating on meaningful areas for change in policing, sentencing, guns, drugs, and juvenile crime, they discuss such topics as new priorities for the use of incarceration; aggressive policing; the war on drugs; the need to switch the gun control debate to a focus on crime gun regulation; a new focus on offenders' transition from confinement to freedom; and the role of private enterprise. A book that rejects traditional liberal and conservative outlooks, The Challenge of Crime takes a major step in offering new approaches for the nation's responses to crime.

The WEIRDest People in the World


Book Description

A New York Times Notable Book of 2020 A Bloomberg Best Non-Fiction Book of 2020 A Behavioral Scientist Notable Book of 2020 A Human Behavior & Evolution Society Must-Read Popular Evolution Book of 2020 A bold, epic account of how the co-evolution of psychology and culture created the peculiar Western mind that has profoundly shaped the modern world. Perhaps you are WEIRD: raised in a society that is Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. If so, you’re rather psychologically peculiar. Unlike much of the world today, and most people who have ever lived, WEIRD people are highly individualistic, self-obsessed, control-oriented, nonconformist, and analytical. They focus on themselves—their attributes, accomplishments, and aspirations—over their relationships and social roles. How did WEIRD populations become so psychologically distinct? What role did these psychological differences play in the industrial revolution and the global expansion of Europe during the last few centuries? In The WEIRDest People in the World, Joseph Henrich draws on cutting-edge research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology to explore these questions and more. He illuminates the origins and evolution of family structures, marriage, and religion, and the profound impact these cultural transformations had on human psychology. Mapping these shifts through ancient history and late antiquity, Henrich reveals that the most fundamental institutions of kinship and marriage changed dramatically under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church. It was these changes that gave rise to the WEIRD psychology that would coevolve with impersonal markets, occupational specialization, and free competition—laying the foundation for the modern world. Provocative and engaging in both its broad scope and its surprising details, The WEIRDest People in the World explores how culture, institutions, and psychology shape one another, and explains what this means for both our most personal sense of who we are as individuals and also the large-scale social, political, and economic forces that drive human history. Includes black-and-white illustrations.




"Cancer"


Book Description




The Emperor of All Maladies


Book Description

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, this New York Times bestseller is “an extraordinary achievement” (The New Yorker)—a magnificent, profoundly humane “biography” of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist’s precision, a historian’s perspective, and a biographer’s passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.




Development and the Next Generation


Book Description

"The theme of The World Development Report 2007 is youth - young people between the ages of 12 to 24. As this population group seeks identity and independence, they make decisions that affect not only their own well-being, but that of others, and they do this in a rapidly changing demographic and socio-economic environment. Supporting young people's transition to adulthood poses important opportunities and risky challenges for development policy. Are education systems preparing young people to cope with the demands of changing economies? What kind of support do they get as they enter the labor market? Can they move freely to where the jobs are? What can be done to help them avoid serious consequences of risky behavior, such as death from HIV-AIDS and drug abuse? Can their creative energy be directed productively to support development thinking? The report will focus on crucial capabilities and transitions in a young person's life: learning for life and work, staying healthy, working, forming families, and exercising citizenship. For each, there are opportunities and risks; for all, policies and institutions matter."
