    The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the two cruciate ligaments of the knee, the other being the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). These ligaments are the stabilizers of the knee. The ACL is a strip of fiber tissue, which is located deep inside the knee joint. It runs from the posterior side of the femur (thigh bone) to the anterior side of the tibia (shin bone) deep inside of the knee. The ligament is a broad, thick cord the size of a person 's index finger. It has long collagen strands woven together in a fashion that permits forces of up to 500 pounds to be exerted. The function of the ACL is to prevent the tibia from moving in front of the knee and femur. The ACL also prevents hyperextension (or extreme stretching of the knee backward) and helps to prevent rotation of the tibia.…

    Famous film director and entrepreneur George Lucas once said, “technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want”. Robin Sloan, author of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, contradicts Lucas’s opinion by organizing a plot that involves a secret “bibliophile cult” (113), the Unbroken Spine, and their quest to solve the Founder’s Puzzle. Aldus Manutius, the founder of the Unbroken Spine, composed the Codex Vitae without the use of technology, but with the help of Griffo Gerritszoon and his handmade typeface. When decoded, the Codex Vitae will hold the key to eternal life for all members of the Unbroken Spine. When Clay Jannon gets a job at Penumbra’s bookstore, he is intrigued…

While hunting in The Spine, a large range of mountains running down the West side of Alagaësia, which is believed to have mysterious happenings, Eragon is surprised to see a polished blue stone appear in front of him. After failing to sell or trade the stone, Eragon witnesses a baby dragon hatch from the "stone," which was in reality a dragon egg. He questions Brom - the elderly town storyteller - about the Dragons and the history and ways of the Dragon Riders. After this talk, Eragon names the dragon Saphira after hearing Brom mention the dragon's name. He raises the dragon in secret until two of King Galbatorix's servants, the Ra'zac, come to Carvahall looking for the egg. Eragon and Saphira manage to escape by hiding in the forest, but Eragon's uncle Garrow is fatally wounded and the house and farm are destroyed. Once Garrow dies,…

    Accessory navicular syndrome involves an extra piece of either cartilage or bone located on the medial side of the foot, on the navicular bone. The accessory navicular articulates with the navicular bone, while the navicular bone articulates with numerous bony structures. It articulates posteriorly with the talus, anteriorly with the cuneiform bones, and laterally with the cuboid bone. The joint associated with accessory navicuar syndrome is the talonavicular joint (Panchbhavi, V. K., 2015, December 11). The muscle involved in accessory navicular syndrome is the tibialis posterior, which originates on the upper half of the posterior shaft of the tibia and the upper half of the fibula between the medial nerve crest and the interosseous border.…
