Wuthering Heights

Detective Ross leaned back in his chair and took a long, leisurely drag on a cigar. The redolence of smoke filled the room with the contented air of a man who receives money to do nothing but drink whiskey and smoke cigars, which was exactly what the detective did. However, he wasn’t lackadaisical by any means, but he was quite happy that the day was very taciturn, which meant he didn't have to go travelling around the neighbourhood. A tall man at 187cm with an ear piercing, blue eyes, short…

person who is unusually small but well-proportioned. The term has given way to the more favorable "little person." Midgets do not suffer from the same bone and joint problems as people with dwarfism. They grow normally, but do not exceed 58 inches in height. Midget, comes from the word midge "small fly" + -et, so that a midget is etymologically a "very small fly". The first reference to the word is found in 1848…

Finally, another very important thing for those with…

One in every 15,000 to 40,000 children have the disease known as achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is a genetic disease that occurs because of a mutation in the gene FGFR3 and is also the most common form of dwarfism known. The purpose of the gene FGFR3 is to make the proteins that are vital in the formation of bone tissue within the body. Because of this mutation people with achondroplasia have significantly shorter limbs than the normal person making them significantly shorter than most people…

camp in an area that has no grass and sigh. As soon as we begin to sit down we feel huge drops of water fall on our heads. “It’s pouring!” Dean says but Emunah corrects him by telling him that it was actually only sprinkling if they were at normal height. Dean just replies with a “Whatever.” Eventually, it actually begins to pour and the raindrops get as big as their heads. The siblings are forced to find shelter or they will struggle to breath. They look to bushes near their house that are good…

they usually experience rapid increases in height known as growth spurts during this time. It is generally agreed that height growth stops somewhere between ages of 16 and 20 when you reach physical adulthood. However, a man’s growth is dependent on a multitude of factors, like his genetic potential and environmental factors. So, it is still possible, though unlikely, to gain height even after your 20’s or on the other hand, stop growing in height before you reach your 16’s. Other FAQs on…

much until I was about eleven and I realized that I was the only one in my class still wearing clothes from The Children’s Place. I had always just assumed I’d catch up to my peers. My mother and father are 5’8 and 6’3 respectively, and they too had height deficiencies in their youth. They grew out of theirs, so why wouldn’t I? I suppose some things just can’t be explained, because I never did have the growth spurt I so desperately wished for. Right now I stand at a stately 5'2 (and…

full growth someone measures under 4’10”. People with dwarfism usually are born with normal intelligence. A fact that most people don’t believe is that someone who is born with dwarfism is more likely to be born to parents who are both of average height. There are more than 300 different conditions that cause a form of dwarfism. There are two main categories, proportionate, and disproportionate. Disproportionate is average-size torso and having shorter arms and legs. Can also be shortened trunk…
