	Open Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) - An Introduction
		ALIF may be utilized as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with posterior spinal fusion.
		The method with which ALIF is accomplished depends largely on the surgeon's preference and experience.
		ALIF should not be used as a stand-alone technique if the patients bone is very soft (osteoporosis) because the spacers will sink (subside) into the softened adjacent bone or the spacers will loosen and not maintain adequate distraction.

	The Alif as calligraphy's unit of proportion
		The width of the alif was equivalent to one dot.
		The alif also was used as the diameter of an imaginary circle within which all Arabic letters could be written.
		These elements were the height of the alif, the width of the alif, and the imaginary circle.

	Alif
		So it is fitting that on Alif such a world class musician as Omar Faruk Tekbilek would serve as a transdimensional ship, traveling from port to port, historyto future, style to style, sharing his immense gifts and reminding us that art is a glimpse of the Divine.
		Alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet, and it also signifies the first letter for Allah, the Maker, the Cause of All Existence,
		Alif (God) is the beginning and the end of all creation, the source of all happiness.

	Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) surgery
		While the ALIF is still a widely available spine fusion technique, this type of procedure is often combined with a posterior approach (anterior/posterior fusions) because of the need to provide more rigid fixation than an anterior approach alone provides.
		In the ALIF approach, a three-inch to five-inch incision is made on the left side of the abdomen and the abdominal muscles are retracted to the side (see Figure 1).
		Some ALIF procedures will be done using a minilaparotomy (one small incision) or with an endoscope (a scope that allows the surgery to be done through several one-inch incisions).

	Omar Faruk Tekbilek Alif - Love Supreme by Srajan Ebaen
		Alif, also the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and symbolic reference to the Creator, is dedicated to love songs, particularly -- and as the subtitle Love Supreme already indicates - to love for and of the Divine in its myriad forms.
		Even though Alif is sung entirely in foreign tongues, mental cognition of the words isn't at all required to capture and be charged by their inner beauty - yet another reminder that heartfelt music truly is the global language.
		Alif steps out of the "ethnic" rev limiter just far enough to appeal to our Western ears that find the instrumental quartertone slurs of the Middle East out-of-tune and the timbres of the zurna strident and off-putting save for occasional color.

		The favorable position with us is that it should be included, since most charts call what is really a hamzah an alif, the laam-alif then replaces the missing alif, but nonetheless, most charts have only 28 letters.
		The laam-alif is a representation of the true alif, which always is saakinah preceded by a letter that has a fat-h, as in the laam-alif.
		We do not have an Arabic chart for you, but found two links that have the Arabic alphabet without the laam alif, and lastly found a chart that has the alif as a separate identity from the hamzah, as it should be.
