    This story records two years in the life of a survivor of World War 1, and his adventures as a member of the staff at the British Embassy in Cairo where he was the Military Attaché, and then in Aden. He was on leave and had completed family business in London. He stopped at a Lyons Corner House for refreshments before driving home. Also in the cafe were two young ladies, who had been to a party. They were very distressed as there had been a rail crash that would stop them returning to their parents. Russell offered them a lift as he lived close to them. The drive was uneventful except that Russell, who was a committed bachelor, and Miss Sabrina Severn a committed spinster, were attracted to each other. Russell had to attend a conference at the Commonwealth office and was then reassigned to Aden on a secret mission. He had a few weeks of leave left, and spent as much time as possible with Sabrina, and they became engaged just before Russell took up his new post. They obviously exchanged letters frequently. In Aden Russell spoke to an old acquaintance who was now Harbour Master to find out about the local Al Hafrey family because of rumours that oil had been discovered on their territory. Russell accepted an invitation to a reception given by the son of Sheikh Al Hafrey, and discovered that his supposedly secret mission was known to Jalal Al Hafrey in detail. He was warned that if he interfered with Al Hafrey's plans he would be emasculated. Russell returned to London to alert the government about a spy active in the Colonial office but was dismissed because his leader concealed the truth from his superiors. Due to the unexpected intervention of "The Thunderer" he was reinstated and promptly resigned as he had no wish to work with people like Ellis again. Russell drove home one evening and he and Sabrina were attacked outside their front door with chloroform. She was left on the drive and Sir James disappeared. A very astute policeman discovered where Sir James was imprisoned, and he was rescued before Jamal Al Hafrey could carry out his threat.. Shortly after their marriage Sir James and Lady Sabrina moved into a villa in Cairo, and Sir James started to work for the High Commissioner. Sir James was betrayed by a colleague, and taken prisoner by the uncle of Jajal Al Hafrey. He was saved when an army sergeant shot Jalal's father's right hand with a single shot, just as he was abut to murder Sir James.

    Freedom of choice is what brings health and happiness to all humankind. In freedom there is love, life and light.Love has in it, discipline or it is not true love. Life has to be moving in a direction of health or it is not true life. Light has to have peace, perfection, balance and harmony or it is not true light. Knowing the above will help the present generation to choose more wisely and push away unhealthy traditions that come from the people, schools and religions that raised them. You choose to get up or stay in bed and both have a consequence. The choice is free but the consequence will always follow creation first even when creation's consequences are seen with time and then come the consequences from the parent's rules, state laws or laws of the government. Look at the animals of creation. Do they worship? Why not? Because they are created in their perfect sphere and need nothing! We as humankind should take note as we too are created in a sphere of perfectness and when we see creation and our Creator as truth we shine with life, love and light.

    The Reverend Oliver Francis Walby (O. F Walby) was in the forefront of religio-sexual innovation. His notorious Naked Mass, performed at the Episcopal Church of Saint Henry the Eighth in Hollywood, attracted free-spirited worshipers. But when it was discovered that the audience/participants included underage girls, the District Attorney as well as his Bishop were forced to take action. Rev. Walby, accompanied by his close companion, Elliot Spenseric (scion of a once wealthy Beverly Hills family), must flee to the South American country of El Santo. Once in the high Andean country the holy gentleman lapses into a state of semi- narcolepsy. His affairs must be managed by Elliot, who keeps his eyes on the prize of spreading Walby's doctrine of "Che-su", a politico-theological philosophy that combines Jesus' love for the masses with Che Guevara's call for armed rebellion. With the evanescent Walby in tow, Elliot sets out on a comic pilgrimage to make contact with the "true revolutionaries" of FARS (Frente Armado de la Revolucion Santense) and its charismatic leader, La Mama.

    The modern field of total knee arthroplasty began over 50 years ago in the 1970s when the FDA approved cement for implant fixation, and durable plastic that replaced the meniscus became available. Simultaneously, alignment evolved into two opposing and contentious philosophies, the anatomic approach (forefather of kinematic alignment, ) and the 'cookie-cutter' or mechanical alignment. In 2006, the concept of personalized surgery initiated a paradigm shift away from the philosophy of mechanical alignment to calipered kinematic alignment total knee replacement. Dr. Howell, a professor of biomedical engineering and a sports medicine surgeon, developed the kinematic alignment technique. To perform the surgery, he created the first commercially made patient-specific guides designed to assist the surgeon in setting the components coincident to the patient's pre-arthritic joint lines, which is the kinematic alignment target.In 2007, early adopters' clinical experience, particularly Dr. Meade, persuaded over 300 surgeons to perform more than 20,000 kinematically aligned total knee replacements by 2011. Between 2011 and 2020, many worldwide studies reported that kinematic alignment improves patient satisfaction, function, ease of recovery, soft tissue balance, flexion, and joint-line and limb alignment compared with mechanical alignment. It is a winning approach.This primer uses the familiar concept of the Ten Commandments and selects ten topics for the surgeon to follow. The success of kinematic alignment requires caliper measurements of bone resections and intraoperative recording of verification steps. These recommendations reduce the risk of complications, a topic of great interest to the patient! Patients that research options in total knee replacement surgery will come across the kinematic and mechanical alignment philosophies. The mechanical alignment technique is a 'cookie-cutter' approach that places the components the same way in everybody regardless of their legs' shape. Because the method changes the patient's joint lines, the healthy ligaments are released, making the replaced knee feel unnatural. Kinematic alignment restores the patient's knee alignment before arthritis developed and preserves healthy ligaments, promoting patient satisfaction and high function.We hope this primer is useful for those investigating knee replacement surgery. Those who chose kinematic alignment, ask your surgeon whether they use the caliper and intraoperative verifications to position your new knee optimally!
