CSUN Students Join Affirmative Action Debate
NORTHRIDGE —
Students were leafleting the Cal State Northridge campus this week promoting a rally next week to "shut down" the university in support of affirmative action.
But unlike on other campuses, where the debate over hiring preferences for minorities has brought students and school officials into confrontation in recent weeks, the CSUN administration appears to be embracing the rally.
In a university news release, President Blenda J. Wilson on Thursday encouraged campus faculty and staff to join the rally if they want.
"I think what she is trying to convey is that a dialogue on this subject is welcome on this campus and you don't need to take a subversive stance," said Carmen Ramos Chandler, director of news and information for the university. "Dialogues on controversial issues are welcome and encouraged on this campus."
The three-hour rally scheduled for next Wednesday on the Oviatt Lawn in the center of campus is being organized by the Black Students Union and Chicano student leaders, Chandler said.
One of the sponsors, Black Students Union President Fabian Speights, said the rally was intended to oppose the proposed California civil rights initiative that would end preferences for women and minorities in state and local government hiring and contracting as well as admission to the two state university systems. Backers are circulating petitions and hope to place the initiative on the November, 1996, ballot.
"We're asking students to attend the rally in support of affirmative action and to receive the kind of information that will be beneficial to them when it comes time to vote," Speights said.
Speights said the organizers view the event as a discourse, and do not plan any confrontational tactics such as the tent encampment and hunger strike that led to the arrest of five students last weekend at UC Irvine.
The strikers were protesting the July decision of the University of California Board of Regents to abolish affirmative action policies for the 162,000-student system.
"Students really want to express their opinions and attitudes about affirmative action," Speights said. "We're really concerned about getting people aware of the issues, getting the issues out in the open in an unbiased way."
Wilson learned about the planned rally Tuesday when a student handed her a flyer during a university-sponsored debate between state Sen. Diane Watson (D-Los Angeles) and Joe Gelman, campaign manager for the California civil rights initiative.
"Blenda saw it as a wonderful opportunity for discourse on the campus," Chandler said.
When a staff member asked about the rally the next day at Wilson's regular open forum, she blessed the event, Chandler said.
"It gives us the opportunity to do what we do best, which is educate," Chandler said. "It's going to happen, whether the university approves of it or not, so why not turn it into something positive and useful? We're just taking advantage of it. We're going to piggyback on it."
Wilson took a public stance opposing Proposition 187, the successful 1994 initiative intended to restrict immigrants' access to education, health care and other government services.
She is expected also to make her view on affirmative action known soon, Chandler said.

An overview of the sea specialities to be tasted in Vendée!
Your hotel in Vendée allows you to taste a large part of local specialties. Oyster pots, sardines and Fisherman's pot are on the menu at the seafood buffets served at Le Plaisance restaurant in your hotel.
Our hotel in Vendée, les Jardins de l' Atlantique, is an ideal place for oyster lovers. It is located in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, where lies the Payré estuary, the largest natural area in the region. The oysters that are raised there benefit from remarkable conditions, with a very mineral and nutrient-rich water.
Moreover, the companies approved to exploit the pond still work with the traditional technique of wooden fish traps, more respectful of the environment and favoring the development of the ecosystem. Finally, the estuary allows the production of oysters in clear waters, which gives them a less pronounced taste than those from the open sea.
Restaurants of Vendée regularly offer oysters and other seafood on the menu. All you have to do is choose the size and the wine to accompany them.
Sardines: fished since the 17th century, sardine is a classic from Vendée. The technique of canning with olive oil comes from the region, for a maturing process that can take decades! The sardine of Saint Gilles-Croix-de-Vie has also obtained the Red Label Quality assurance, unique for a wild fish.
The sole of the sands: also known as "la Sablaise", is regularly found on the menu of restaurants in Vendée. Its firm flesh is cooked as well in fillets in a miller way.
Mussels: in addition to oyster culture, mussel farming also contributes to the region's reputation. Especially the mussels of bouchots, raised on these piles of oak planted in the water, sometimes a few centuries old. The result is a small but full product with a beautiful yellow color and a pronounced taste.
Salt flower: in Noirmoutier or in Sables d'Olonne, salt marshes use ancestral techniques to extract the salt flower from the brine, and then refine it to make it edible. Salt that one finds afterwards on the tables of the restaurants of Vendée and elsewhere.

Trinity's footballers could count themselves somewhat unfortunate to lose out 2-1 to Maynooth on Thursday, in their first game of the season.
Trinity Women's Soccer lost out to Maynooth University on Thursday in the first game of their Colleges and Universities Football League (CUFL) campaign, after a close game in which both sides created plenty in the way of opportunities.
Maynooth struck first, going ahead after some miscommunication at the back for the visitors. Trinity's defence of Nicole Moosbrugger, Clíodhna Ní Shé and Frannie Smith looked solid for the most part, however, and at the other end, Trinity nearly equalised later on after the Maynooth keeper was caught off her line when the ball was whipped into the box. Maynooth came close to adding to their lead a couple of times for the remainder of the half, but Trinity managed to keep the deficit at one goal going into the half-time team talks.
Trinity had a golden opportunity to equalise early in the second half after the ball was handled in the Maynooth box. Unfortunately for the visitors, they could not convert the resulting penalty kick. Possession was concentrated in the middle of the pitch with Trinity starting to dominate, and it was not too long before they finally drew level, with Moosbrugger finding the net from a corner kick.
However, Trinity were unable to maintain this period of dominance, and there was frustration towards the end as Maynooth managed to grab a late winner.
Both sides were evenly matched for much of the game, with equal shots on target for both teams. Maynooth have played at Premier level, so Trinity did well to remain in the game for so long. Next up, Trinity take on IT Tallaght in College Park on Tuesday.
This season has already seen plenty of change for Trinity's Women Soccer, with the club abandoning their old name, Dublin University Ladies' Association Football Club (DULAFC), in September. The name change came after reservations about the use of the word "ladies" in the title of the club were raised at last year's AGM. An EGM was called after a training session last month, and with 50 players in attendance, the motion was passed unanimously.

When a mysterious gate suddenly appears in Tokyo's Ginza district and begins spewing armed warriors and flying monsters, the world is thrown into turmoil.

Determined to secure peace, the JSDF must send an armed force into the Gate, but ogres, dragons and a ruthless Empire populated by elves, humans, and half-animal warriors aren't the only dangers they'll face. With the resources of two worlds at stake, the balance of power on both sides of the Gate is destabilizing, and betrayal can come at any time, from any quarter. There, trapped right in the middle of the ensuing firestorm, stands officer Yoji Itami and the JSDF's Third Reconnaissance Team as they plunge into the GATE.

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
A nugget worth two hundred dollars! Randy could scarcely believe his eyes and ears. He gazed at his uncle for a moment in open-mouthed wonder.
"You're in luck, and no mistake!" broke in Earl, as he also examined the yellowish lump. "Say, but that's a strike to start on, isn't it!"
He had hoped to make the first find himself, but he was too unselfish to begrudge his brother that pleasure. Leaving the lump in his uncle's possession. Randy led the way back to where the find had been made, and all three set to work without delay to empty the "pocket," as Foster Portney called it, and examine the contents.
"Here's another!" cried Earl, presently. "It's not quite so large, though."
"But it's worth at least a hundred dollars, Earl," answered his uncle. "And see, here are a number of little fellows worth from ten dollars to fifty each. Randy has struck a bonanza beyond a doubt. Don't scatter that dirt too much, for we must wash out every ounce of it for little nuggets and dust."
"And maybe there is a vein of gold back there," said Randy, proudly. "If there is, we can all work it, can't we?"
"Yes, unless the captain and the doctor have struck something equally good. There, that seems to be the last of the nuggets. Let us count them. Fourteen in all, and worth at least four hundred dollars. It paid to stay over in spite of what that miner said, didn't it?" And Foster Portney laughed, and the boys joined in readily, for the discovery of so much gold had put all into the best of humor.
The nuggets picked out, they set to work to wash out the sand and dirt. While Foster Portney filled the pan and washed, the two boys took turns in bringing up water from the pool, using for the purpose a rubber water bag the man had thoughtfully provided for just such an emergency. The washings continued until it was quite dark, and by that time half of the dirt had been gone over and something like two ounces of gold dust extracted.
"Not so bad," said Mr. Portney. "Perhaps tomorrow we'll do even better."
"I could keep on all night," declared Randy, who was loath to quit the locality. "Somebody may come in and take the claim away from us before morning."
"We'll leave the pick and the shovel in it, and that will prevent them," was the answer; and this was done. No miner dares to touch another's "prospect" so long as any tools remain in it.
When they got back to camp they found the doctor and the captain already there. The two had tried half a dozen spots, but only one had yielded sufficient gold dust to warrant their continuing to work it. They listened with keen interest to the account of the find made by Randy, and were quite willing to take a hand at prospecting that locality the next day.
Eight o'clock found all hard at work. While the captain and Earl washed, the others went into the opening of the cliff and brought out all that remained of the dirt and loose stones. There was not a great deal, and shortly after noon every shovelful was heaped up close to the artificial pool of water Dr. Barwaithe had constructed. While the washing continued, Foster Portney examined the sides and the bottom of the opening, and then moved forward through a tangled mass of brushwood and tundra until he came to the bed of a second gulch a hundred feet distance from the first.
"There is nothing more in the pocket," he declared. "And if there is any more gold, it is either in that gulch or this, and I am half inclined to think it is over there, although we may as well prospect this gulch thoroughly first."
By the morrow the washings from the pocket came to an end, with four more ounces of gold to the credit of the prospectors, making in all a find of about five hundred dollars. Previous to going into camp it had been decided that for the present everything found sliould be divided into five parts, one to go to the captain, one to the doctor, and three to Foster Portney for himself and his nephews. The Portney share, as we know, was to be divided, one-half to Mr. Portney and one-quarter to each of the boys. Thus the boys received each three-twentieths of the entire amount found; not a large portion, but then they had nothing to pay out for expenses, which were bound to be considerable, and each was perfectly willing that his uncle should have the one-tenth extra of the whole amount on that account.
"Three-twentieths of five hundred dollars is seventyfive dollars," said Randy to Earl, when they were alone. "We've each earned that, free and clear, so far. That's not bad."
"If only we can continue, we'll make our fortunes," replied Earl, earnestly. "But the pocket's at an end, and now we've got to prospect elsewhere."
The days went by, and they tried the first of the gulches from end to end, sometimes working together, and then each man and boy for himself. But though they struck gold often it was never in paying quantities, and the end of the week saw them somewhat discouraged.
"It wouldn't be so bad, only we made such a fine start," grumbled Randy. "Now there's no telling when we shall find gold again."
"That's the fortunes o' prospectin'," said the captain. "It may be we won't git a smell o' gold in the hull district ag'in!"
"I move we try that other gulch on Monday," put in the doctor. "It's full of loose sand, isn't it?" he went on to Foster Portney.
"Yes, the sand and gravel are at least two feet thick," was the answer. "I believe there is gold there, as I said before, but to clear off the brush and moss will be no easy task."
"We came out here for work," said Earl. "I didn't expect to sit around and sun myself." And all laughed at this remark.
It was Sunday, and late on Saturday night a miner had been around announcing a religious meeting to be held over at the Bottom at noon. Mr. Portney, the boys, and the doctor walked over, nearly half a mile, leaving the captain in charge of the camp. They found about fifty miners collected around an improvised platform, where an earnest-looking young man was reading a chapter from his Bible. A song by three of the women present followed, and then came a short sermon on the brotherhood of man and the value of a faith which would carry a man above the temptation to do wrong, even in that desolate region. At the close of the service a collection was taken up, for the preacher's benefit, some of the miners giving ordinary money, and others pouring gold dust into the little chamois bag the preacher had provided for that purpose.
At this meeting the Portneys again met the Wodley crowd, who had located about a mile up Gold Bottom Creek, at a place called Rosebud, a name particularly inappropriate, since no roses were to be found in the vicinity. Wodley and his companions were doing fairly well, and thought the "doctor's flock" might do worse than to locate just above them.
"We'll remember that," said Foster Portney. "But first we are going to try again over where we are."
Wodley had heard again from Tom Roland and Guardley. He said the gang, as he termed it, which they had joined had gone up Hunker Creek and staked out three claims somewhere above Discovery, as the first claim on a creek or gulch is called. The claims had overlapped some already staked out, and the miners in that section had had several fights and had threatened to drive out all the newcomers if they did not do what was right.
"I was going over to Hunker Creek myself," concluded Wodley. "But I don't want to quarrel with anybody."
Monday morning found the entire Portney crowd over to Tangle Gulch, as Mr. Portney christened it. It was a name well chosen, for the tangle of bushes, vines, and moss was "simply out of sight," so Earl said, although as a matter of fact it was very much in sight—that and nothing else. No one could move forward more than a yard before having to stop to loosen himself, either from the bushes and vines or the clinging moss, and muck under the moss. And to add to their discomfort they stirred up a legion of mosquitoes, gnats, and black flies, which hovered over their heads like a cloud.
"Let us burn the brush first of all," said the doctor, when at last the middle of the gulch was reached. "That will clear the surface and scatter those pests overhead. Oh, my!" He broke off short as he went down into a concealed water hole which was several feet deep. "Here's another of the pleasures of hunting gold in Alaska!" and this was said so comically that everybody roared.
Axes and knives had been brought along, and soon a large pile of the brush had been cut and piled in a heap and set on fire. As it was green, it burnt slowly and raised a large smoke, which made the mosquitoes scatter immediately. From that day until the end of the summer they kept a smudge fire for protection. The brush cleared from the sides of the gulch, which was very narrow, they went at the tundra, throwing the moss wherever it would be out of the way. This took a long time, and it was not until almost nightfall that they got down to the sand and gravel of the choked-up watercourse.
"Now we'll see if there is anything in this gulch or not," said the captain, as he scooped up the first panful off the bedrock. "If there isn't, then we've had most all-fired hard work fer nuthin', eh?" And he started in to wash up the sand, gravel, and dirt, while the others looked on in breathless interest.

IObit Advanced SystemCare 9 released and here's what's new in it
Iobit has just released version 9 of its popular Windows PC tweaking software, Advanced SystemCare, for all users.
And let's dive right in and see what's new in it.
The UI of the app has received a major overhaul, compared to Advanced SystemCare 8. The new theme looks really good and polished, and the scan button stands out well.
Advanced SystemCare 9 consists of five main tabs, the primary one is what you see above, the Clean & Optimize section. This is what you are most likely to use often as it lets you clean the registry, your junk files and optimize the performance of your system.
The second tab is Speed Up, and helps your PC [...]
Twitter for Windows 10 now supports multiple accounts, curating lists, inline videos
Twitter launched its official app for Windows 10 a few months ago, much to the surprise of users.
That's because the social network had never updated its app for Windows 8, in like forever.
But even though the new app was good, it did have some major drawbacks. For starters, it did not support one great feature of Twitter, Lists.
In case you aren't aware what they are, Twitter lists are user created set of accounts, whose Tweets which the user wants to read without following the accounts, or make categories of various similar accounts in a genre, e.g: Tech, News, etc, using which you can read Tweets quickly without the hassle of going over your [...]

I haven't been blogging very much lately, but I have been busy sewing and finishing up a few of my WIPs. Today I'm thrilled to share my finished swoon quilt.
This was a quilt I started last year during a quilt along hosted by the pattern designer, Camille. However, I struggled to keep up with and the quilt along and once it was all over my project got put on the backburner.
For my version I used prints from the Blush and Bloom collection by Iza Pearl Design for Windham Fabrics. I just love the large scale floral designs and think these big blocks show them off really well. There's also 18 prints in the collection, making it perfect for a swoon quilt.
I'm also pretty pleased with the quilting - I quilted it myself on my domestic machine. While it seemed to take forever, love the texture of the finished quilt.
I'm linking up with the 2018 finish-along and Elm Street Quilts One Monthly goal as this was on my list of proposed finishes for quarter 1 and my specific goal for March.
Just a quick post today to share my One Monthly Goal (hosted by Elm Street Quilts) for March. This month I hope to finish the swoon quilt I started over a year ago, using the Blush and Bloom collection by Iza Pearl Design for Windham Fabrics.
I've got all the blocks made and have just finished piecing the quilt top, but still need to quilt and bind.
I'm looking forward to getting this one finished and on my bed.


I'm so happy to share my most recent collaboration with you. This beautiful headband is from Headbands of Hope, a wonderful company that provides a headband to a child with cancer for every item purchased. I'm so grateful to be a part of this effort and I think it's such an important cause.

Q: output which has first and last letter as vowel(a,e,i,o,u) I want output like. I have to print those city which has first and last character as vowel.
ashoke
eureka
onkar
okkko
uae
eau

to this I have written below query. any effective way to do the same.
select distinct city from station where city like 'a%%a' or
city like 'a%%e' or
city like 'a%%i' or
city like 'a%%o' or
city like 'a%%u' or;
 city like 'e%%a' or
city like 'e%%e' or
city like 'e%%i' or
city like 'e%%o' or
city like 'e%%u' or
 city like 'i%%a' or
city like 'i%%e' or
city like 'i%%i' or
city like 'i%%o' or
city like 'i%%u' or
 city like 'o%%a' or
city like 'o%%e' or
city like 'o%%i' or
city like 'o%%o' or
city like 'o%%u' or
 city like 'u%%a' or
city like 'u%%e' or
city like 'u%%i' or
city like 'u%%o' or
city like 'u%%u' ;

A: Assuming all the city names are all lower-case letters, you could do something like this:
select city
from   station
where  substr(city,  1, 1) in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
  and  substr(city, -1, 1) in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')

substr(city, 1, 1) takes the substring of city starting at position 1 and of length 1 (meaning, just the first letter). substr(city, -1, 1) is very similar, just the position is different: -1 means first letter from the end of the string - so this will give you the last letter of the city name.
If city may have both upper and lower case letters, in the WHERE clause use lower(city) instead of city.
EDIT: By popular request, here is how the same can be done with regular expressions. There is no point in using a regular expression approach here though; the standard string functions (like SUBSTR) are almost certain to be much faster than anything based on regular expressions.
....
where regexp_like(city, '^(a|e|i|o|u).*(a|e|i|o|u)$', 'i')

(a|e|i|o|u) means exactly one of those characters. ^ means anchor at the beginning of the string, and similarly $ at the end of the string. Strictly speaking, this requires the city name to be at least two letters long; if one-letter city names are possible, this can be modified easily. (The SUBSTR approach would require no changes.)
The last argument, 'i', makes the regexp matching case insensitive (just in case that is needed).

A: This is a simple alternative answer to the question
select city
from   station
where  left(city, 1) in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')
  and  right(city, 1) in ('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u')

A: select distinct city from station where city like '%[a,e,i,o,u]' and city like '[a,e,i,o,u]%'

A: SELECT DISTINCT CITY
FROM STATION
WHERE LOWER(LEFT (CITY,1)) IN ('a','e','i','o','u')
AND LOWER(RIGHT (CITY,1)) IN ('a','e','i','o','u');

The Fad That Would Not Pass
The spirituality craze indulges only the self and fails to help improve the world
The religion of the "new age" is "spirituality." For years I persisted in believing that "spirituality" was the immediate successor to EST, a controversial movement of the 1970s. I was sure that the spirituality fad, too, would soon disappear, to be succeeded by some other cult that promised serenity and enlightenment.
But I was too optimistic. The search for spirituality has become broad enough so that it now includes visits to the Dalai Lama, and more recently, a growing breed of self-appointed kabalistic masters who promise to open the doors of ancient Jewish esoteric knowledge in a few hours. Sometimes when I read accounts by those who have visited with the Dalai Lama in his headquarters in North India or who have read some pages of the kabalah--and are thus able to enlighten the lesser breed who seek inner peace--I find myself humming a song of my youth. The call went out some fifty years ago that one could learn the new, exotic, and sexy South American dances by taking "six lessons from Madame La Zonga." It is that easy.
So what is the new hunger for "spirituality" really about? What does it represent? At the very root of modern sensibility is the quest for nourishment for the "hungry I." That is the name that was given, prophetically, to a nightclub in Haight Ashbury, the swinging neighborhood of San Francisco in the 1960s. It defined the contemporary illness: men and women wanted to realize themselves by feeding the deep hunger that they felt in their lives.
The adult generation of those days thought that it had found the answer. This generation had grown up in the era of the Great Depression and of the Second World War. It was sure that happiness meant material achievements. Those were the days when the larger house, or the larger car, was proof that you had arrived and that you were happy. In a decade or two, their children realized that the larger kitchen or the house with the swimming pool was not enough to make them content, and so they looked for other ways of feeding their hunger. The focus moved to the soul, to the inner self. Possessions could not make you happy if the soul was empty.
The new generation was convinced that it had rejected the shallow materialism of its parents and exchanged it for the much more honorific "spirituality." It is not so. The obsession with the self has remained the same.
The materialistic parents who bought ever-longer cars and the "spiritual" children who find ever-more esoteric and expensive gurus are doing the same thing. They are living self-centered lives. Over and over again, even as they have changed the ways of trying to fill their emptiness, parents and children, and now even grandchildren, are repeating the fatal and disastrous modern delusion that happiness is the result of stuffing your wounded and empty soul. This is false doctrine. Salvation cannot be found in feeding yourself. The "hungry I" will remain forever unfulfilled.
Jews have known for many centuries that "spirituality" is none of the above. We were taught in the Bible itself that the essence of the religious experience is in obedience to the commandments that are recorded in the Five Books of Moses. Two thousand years ago, when this definition of biblical rule was challenged by various sectarians--and especially by the early Christians, who asserted that the laws of the Bible had now been superseded by "the law of the heart"--the rabbis of that day reacted with great vehemence. They insisted that no attention was to be paid to "heavenly voices," even if you were sure that you were hearing them loud and clear. The followers of Moses had committed themselves to follow the Law of God as defined in the Bible and in rabbinic commentaries.
Late in the nineteenth century, two great Jewish teachers faced the question of "spirituality" and answered in the name of classic and time-honored Jewish values. Rabbi Israel of Salant, the most important Jewish moralist in the nineteenth century, defined spirituality as the teachings that impel us to make life more bearable for others. He insisted: if you want to save your own soul, spend your time saving other people's bodies. This doctrine is, of course, the absolute antithesis of self-involvement. Men and women can find happiness only in forgetting the self and working at making the world better for others. Happiness will always elude the self-involved.
But the question remains: the soul does yearn for union with God. How can this connection be found? Solomon Schechter said one hundred years ago that the whole system of commandments defines the "normal mysticism" that Jews experience. Every mitzvah, every commandment that Jews observe, brings them into communion with God. We are one with Him, as we, his children, do the will of our Heavenly Father.
Jewish spirituality is about following after God and trying to help perfect the world. As the Book of Psalms says in its very first verse, blessed is the person who does not follow the counsels of the wicked and avoids the companionship of the irreverent. This caution by the Psalmist does not lead us toward self-involvement, not in our bodies and not in our souls. It leads us outward toward the world that we must help perfect.

Joel Fuhrman, M.D, from Flemington, NJ, is a board-certified family physician, six-time New York Times best-selling author and internationally recognized expert on nutrition and natural healing, who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods. Dr. Fuhrman coined the term "Nutritarian" to describe his eating style, which describes in detail a diet of nutrient-dense, plant-rich foods. His work clearly explains the latest science for applied nutrition-in-action.
For over 25 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes, cancer and many other chronic illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his multiple books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.
As noted, Dr. Fuhrman created the Nutritarian diet, an eating plan that incorporates the latest advances in nutritional science. At the center of the Nutritarian Diet is the simple health equation, H=N/C. This equation expresses the concept that you can predict your health (H) by your nutrient intake (N) divided by your calorie intake (C). His ANDI Scoring System (featured in Whole Foods Market), which measures the relative nutrient density of conventional foods, provides millions of consumers with specific instructions on how to eat an anti-cancer diet-style.

Dentists commonly recommend the following brushing technique.
1. Place the bristles at a 45 degree angle to the teeth.Slide the tips of the brush under the gums.
2. Jiggle the bristles very gently so that the plaque growing under the gum will be removed. Be sure to brush the outside, the tongue side and the chewing surfaces of your teeth.
3. For the front teeth, brush the inside surfaces of the upper and lower jaws by tilting the brush vertically and making several up and down strokes with the front part of the brush over the teeth and gum tissues.
4. To remove bacteria that cause bad breath, use a sweeping action and brush your tongue and roof of your nought. You may take a little time to get used to this, but it's an important .
1. First, take a piece of floss about 40 – 50cm in length.
2. Wind the floss around your 2 middle fingers and grasp 1 – 2cm of floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.
3. Insert the floss between your teeth carefully.
4. Hold the floss taught and curve it around one of the teeth.
5. Scrape the floss up and down against one tooth and then the other. The main purpose is to remove the film of plaque on your teeth, not just food particles.
6. Using a new length of the floss, continue flossing, even tooth surfaces, which have no tooth next to them.
7. Rinse thoroughly to remove any loosened particles.
By not flossing you are missing out on cleaning 35% of your tooth surface.

Baby Name Directory
Rare Baby Names
December 21, 2011 August 27, 2015
Ayanna, Yohance, Inte & Gration
Dick Gregory (b. 1932) is an African-American comedian and civil rights activist.
He's also, with his wife Lillian, the father of 10 children: Michele, Lynne, Paula & Pamela (twins), Stephanie, Gregory, Christian, Miss, Ayanna (b. 1971) and Yohance (b. 1973).
Those last two births are notable because they inspired other parents to use Ayanna and Yohance, and the resultant upticks in usage made Ayanna and Yohance the top baby name debuts of 1971 and 1973, respectively.
Ayanna
1970 – (fewer than 5)
1971 – 194 baby girls named Ayanna
Dick and Lillian Gregory found the name Ayanna in Jet magazine, which claimed Ayanna was a female name from East Africa meaning "beautiful flower."
This information probably came from The Book of African Names (1970) by Chief Osuntoki. Name expert Dr. Cleveland Evans says Osuntoki was "half right" about Ayanna:
Ayana is a name used for both males and females in Ethiopia, but its meaning is uncertain. Ayyanaw is a male Amharic name meaning "we saw him." Ayana is an Oromo word for the spirits believed to mediate between the high god, Waka, and human beings in the ancient indigenous religion of the Oromos, but it's unclear if either of those is related to the common Ethiopian name. ln any event, it's easy to see how parents looking through Osuntoki's book would seize upon Ayanna as one of the few names included that fit in well with the look and sound of American names of the time.
Yohance
1973 – 44 baby boys named Yohance
A 1973 issue of Jet states that Dick and Lillian found the name Yohance (Yoh-HAHN-seh) in a book called Names from Africa, and that Yohance "means "God's gift" in the Hausa language of Nigeria."
The only sources I've found that mention Yohance are baby name books, so I'm not entirely convinced that Yohance is a legitimate Hausa name. Some of the books claim Yohance is a form of John, but an online Hausa bible I found translates John as "Yahaya" — similar, but not quite the same.
You'll note one of Dick Gregory's children is named Gregory. Just like Tifft and Gatewood, Gregory doesn't have a first name. Here's the explanation:
My oldest son, Gregory, has just one name. His birth certificate does not read "Gregory Gregory," but rather simply "Gregory." In the American system, whose computers, bureaucracy and institutional requirements demand two names to function, my son Gregory is a symbol of independence of the built-in entanglements which predetermine the destiny of the "two-namers" in a controlled society.
One of Dick Gregory's daughters is named Miss, making her full name "Miss Gregory." Here's why:
At the time of her birth, racial hangups in the United States made it difficult for some white folks to call a black woman "Miss" and a black man "Mister." So to be on the safe side, my wife and I named our daughter Miss. All her life, anyone who calls her by her proper name will have to say, "Miss Gregory."
Inte & Gration
The middle names of Dick Gregory's twins Paula and Pamela are "Inte" and "Gration." Dick wrote in his memoir:
On March 18, 1964, one year and three days after Richard Jr. was born, Lil gave birth to Paula and Pam. We gave them the middle names of Inte and Gration so they would always remember the sacrifice their mother had made while they were still in the womb.
Lillian's sacrifice was that she'd been jailed for attempting to dine at a restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. (She went to the restaurant knowing she's be arrested; her intent was the draw attention to the fight for civil rights.)

5 thoughts on "Ayanna, Yohance, Inte & Gration"
Wow Nancy, what an interesting story about Miss and Inte & Gration! This man really put a lot of though in his children's names.
I think Yohance sounds very much like the former no 1 name in The Netherlands: Johannes (Yo-HAH-nes), which is Dutch for John.
I'm glad you mentioned that. There really is a similarity. I wonder whether the Dutch influenced naming trends in colonized areas of Africa during the 17th century, and if "Yohance" can somehow be traced back to that.
Miss-Misty says:
Thanks for this info. My dad named me Miss-Misty, noting the same reason as Mr. Gregory. He actually told me when I was younger that he'd gotten the idea from Dick Gregory. I didn't believe him until I decided to search this fact and I found this website. Thanks for the verification Nancy, now I can continue to take extreme pride in my unique name.
Nancy Man says:
Miss-Misty, you're welcome! I'm glad you found what you were looking for.
OMAR REID says:
I invited Dick Gregory up to Hamilton College in upstate New York in the mid 70s and met his daughter Pamela in Boston where she provided natural health treatments ranging from colonics to herb use. Her Dad and Pam have contributed to my consciousness as a Nubian Man. Love the Gregory family.

Katrina Kinder and Isabella Kinder are sisters from Grenada, Mississippi. Having been raised by their mother who had a strong interest in filmmaking, its no wonder that they have become filmmakers themselves. Katrina and Isabella now own and operate their production company, Diamondback Productions LLC. Their films have played at numerous festivals and have won many awards around the world. Most recently, the sisters have been involved with projection mapping shows that have been on display for the entire city.


A timeline for completion of The Crossing, an eight-acre mixed-use project in the Highland Park area of Dallas, has not yet been disclosed.
DALLAS — Chicago-based Convexity Properties has broken ground on The Crossing, an eight-acre mixed-use project that will be located near Southern Methodist University in Dallas. The development will include 500,000 square feet of residential space, which translates to 330 apartments according to The Dallas Business Journal, as well as 90,000 square feet of street-level retail and restaurant space. The site also houses a 225,000-square-foot office building.

Recommended Book: The Coldest Winter, David Halberstam
On January 26, 2008 By Tobias S. HarrisIn Observing Japan Blog
As the six-party talks continue to dance around the question of the future of the Korean peninsula — and the major powers plan for the collapse of the DPRK — it is worthwhile to look back to the (unresolved) conflict that cemented the division of the peninsula and had untold consequences for US Asia policy.
In his final book, The Coldest Winter, the late David Halberstam, who died in April 2007, provided a magisterial account of the Korean War that weaves together biography, political analysis, and historical narrative to explain how the war unfolded at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. As the subtitle suggests, his focus is on the war's impact on the US and much of the narrative is told from the American perspective, but he takes time to look at the war from the perspectives of Pyongyang, Moscow, and Beijing (if not the perspective of Chinese and Korean foot soldiers).
The greatest virtue of this book is the care Halberstam took to embed the war in contemporary American debates about the future of US foreign policy and the growing struggle between anti-communists, most notably Senator Joseph McCarthy, and the foreign policy establishment, epitomized by Secretary of State Dean Acheson and his fellow "wise men." This book is in many ways a prequel to his earlier The Best and The Brightest. Halberstam showed an America that in 1950 was still unprepared for the global role envisioned by policymakers. For all the commitments that Washington had undertaken 1945-1950, in 1950 the American people were still mentally unprepared to meet those commitments. Part of that mental unpreparedness was a tendency to embrace the crudest anti-communism, the anti-communism of the "Asia-Firsters — the China Lobby and General Douglas MacArthur — that minimized the importance of Europe and called for a "crusade" that would reverse the "loss" of China by the Democrats and begin the process of rolling back communism worldwide. This facile anti-communism eliminated all nuance from US Asia policy, leading the US to ignore signs of tension in the Sino-Soviet relationship and to view all indigenous independence movements in Asia through the prism of the cold war. (It also led to the purge of the "China hands," those policymakers who might have been able to implement a more nuanced Asia policy.) The result was a quarter-century of unmitigated Sino-US hostility and all the wasted opportunities that entailed; the enduring protection of Chiang Kai-shek's government; the disastrous intervention in Indochina; and the overall failure of the US to appreciate the significance of decolonization.
The failure of the US foreign policy and military establishments was total. The "eastern" liberal elites, overwhelmingly focused on containing Soviet expansion in Europe, underappreciated the role the US had to play in Asia, leaving them open to the hysterical charges of isolationist-turned-Asia First members of Congress and the media. On the defensive, they found it difficult to elaborate a more sensible Asia policy. They were unable to explain to the American people that backing Chiang — a corrupt, incompetent, unpopular leader — was a dead end, and that China wasn't America's to lose in the first place. They were also unable to say no to MacArthur, darling of the Asia-Firsters, who was dangerously out of touch with reality on the ground during the war and inexcusably contemptuous of his military and, more importantly, his civilian superiors.
Of course, as far MacArthur is concerned, by the time the war began it was too late for Washington to be able to curb him. As members of the Truman administration came to realize during the war, five years as the unquestioned ruler of Japan made him effectively a foreign sovereign and thus as impossible to control in war as in peace. Halberstam's portrait of MacArthur is, not surprisingly, unflattering, not least because of the contempt with which he treated the lives of the soldiers under his command.
The foreign policy elite do not, however, deserve all the blame for the fiasco. In some way it was inevitable. The Truman administration had been painted into a corner. With Republicans hungry to reclaim the White House after losing five straight elections (after 1948), they needed an issue with which to hammer the Democrats. The Soviet menace combined with the Chinese Communist victory proved the perfect formula: the Democrats, whether as a result of incompetence or, in the McCarthyite version, communist sympathies, were dangerously unprepared to resist monolithic communism, which was supposedly on the march everywhere. The result was that Democrats came to feel the need to look tough on communism — and cower in the face of those seen as tough on communism (i.e., MacArthur). This psychological need for Democrats to appear strong on foreign policy lingers today, and could become an incredibly important factor in US foreign policy should a Democrat win the presidency this year. (It is not at all hard to see Republicans in opposition once again castigating a Democratic president for being soft on what they say is an existential threat to the US, in this case Islamic terrorism — and the Democrats overcompensating in response, with disastrous effects.)
In their campaign against the administration, the Republicans had the backing of much of the American public, who were simultaneously convinced of the communist menace (and in the case of China, the administration's failure to protect a democratic ally of the US from it) and unwilling to support properly the global commitments necessary to resist communism. (Hence the US military was dangerously unprepared for war in Korea when it came.) In Kennan's containment policy, the US had a prudent strategy for resisting Soviet expansionism — but as Halberstam made clear, the American people and their elected representatives were not up to the strategy. Indeed, the conversion of the US from isolationism to superpower was messy, especially in Asia, where wartime propaganda about "our ally" China contributed to a major overreaction to the communist takeover.
The result of all this was a bitter, inconclusive war on the Korean peninsula that destroyed for two decades the possibility of a modus vivendi between the US and Mao's China (and ensured a lingering element of mistrust in the relationship even after the opening). It was a war that took the lives of more than 36,000 American servicemen and hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Chinese, and, as a result of the brittle anticommunism it engendered, contributed to the deaths of thousands if not millions more as the US intensified its commitment to fight communism in Indochina. And it bequeathed to future generations flashpoints that might yet be the death of us all.

Karachi's photographers unite to reveal the city's secret stories

Despite protests and heavily jammed roads on the evening of June 12, people in large numbers managed to visit the I Am Karachi Museum set up at the Alliance Française de Karachi.
The two-day event, held under the consortium of I AM KARACHI and The School of Writing (TSW), was an audio-visual exhibition of photographs taken by amateur and professional photographers from all six districts of the metropolis namely Korangi, Malir, East, West, Central and South.
"It's not just a photography exhibition. We have collected 70,000 photos, creating Karachi's largest archive to date," said Mohsin Tejani, the founder of TSW.

Prior to the exhibition, the photographers had travelled around the city's busy streets, bazaars and colonies, shrines, churches, temples and mosques in their endeavour to capture the true essence of Karachi.

Clicking the not-so-quintessential Karachi:
Visiting unfrequented places like Ranchor Line, Chowkandi Tombs, Essa Nagri and Shanti Nagar was quite a challenge, one of the participants told Dawn. But anyone could witness the distinct aesthetics of the stories through their lens. You could gaze at a picture for minutes and not get bored by the striking composition, colours and expressions of the subject.

Such was the case with one visitor, who couldn't stop himself from being poetic, and shared a verse that came to him after looking at a photograph of a railway station porter.
Ghar to aisa kahan tha magar
Dar badar hain to yaad ata hai
(Had a home like no other,
Yet only when I am vagrant do I remember it)

Photographer Danial Shah, who also mentored the students from Malir and West district, lauded the creativity of young learners from Mowach Goth when he told us how it was difficult to credit the images as most of the students shared point-and-shoot cameras. The photographs were so good that it was hard to decipher the difference between photographs taken from a DSLR and smaller cameras.

Public reading as a trend
The two-day event also featured public readings by writers Bina Shah, Shandana Minhas and Haseena Moin.
After reading two chapters of Tunnel Vision to a crowd of participants and their families, Shandana Minhas said to Dawn that solely highlighting the lighter side of life wasn't the job of an author: "It's not just rainbows, flowers and positivity that form a healthy society, but a group of writers who are mature enough to see the uglier parts of the city and co-exist with them."

Up next was Bina Shah, who read an excerpt from her short story-turned-novel, Peter Pochmann Goes to Pakistan, in which she has used dark humour to narrate a tale of an insecure American who visits Pakistan on a work tour. The audience burst out in peals of laughter as she read out the translated names of Karachi neighbourhoods like 'Machchar Colony (Mosquito Colony), Resham Gali (Silk Lane), Lakhpati Hotel (Millionaire's Hotel), Geedar Colony (Jackal's Colony) and Khamosh Colony (Silent Colony).

It was interesting to observe how she translated Machchar Colony to 'Mosquito Colony' when the name is actually a shortened form of the word 'machera' and refers to the 'fishermen's colony'.
Getting fresh writers on board
Another reason why many thronged to attend the event was that it was not only published authors who shared their works, but chartered accountants, lawyers and students, who read out their pieces as well as their experiences.
Attendees could perhaps relate to their writings because the amateurs were not bound by language. English and Urdu both made beautiful mediums of expression as a student described the picturesque Poona Bhai Tower at Ranchor Lane.

She went on explaining how it was not acknowledged by citizens on a daily basis, but holds great importance for the small communities that surround that area. It also accommodates a bell, which is rung at special occasions like Christmas, Eid or 14th August, which is their celebration of religious harmony, an aspect much needed in the city.
A tale from a participant
A participant from Mowachh Goth at the four-week programme, Sameena Ali, fell into reminiscence, as she told Dawn about the best moment of her travelogues — a visit to Qasim Ali Shah's mazar near Gidani:

"We had to climb to get up till the gates of the shrine, but once we had visited and taken pictures inside it, getting down was the most challenging part. As we held hands with our fellow participants, we all conquered the fear of falling, with the courage of being united."
Literary notes followed by musical ones
Later, in the evening, Asif Sinan along with Qaiser, Strings' former drummer, performed 'Nadiya' and some Balochi melodies.

There was also a traditionally set dhaba with straw walls beautifully decorated with lights and photographs of Karachi.

Those who stopped to have the piping hot aaloo and anda parathas also enjoyed the melodies; some even got up to shake a leg to the beats of the drums and tabla.

Karachi, which is so often reviled as a city of death or terror, once again saw the resilience of its dwellers as the two-day event ended on a buoyant note. Despite the barriers put forward by protesters and VIP visits, people got together to enjoy the camaraderie of strangers united for the cause of celebrating the city they call home.

If only more attention would be paid towards the nurturing of the artistic side of our young citizens instead of the forceful culture of bandwagon studies, we could surely embark on another golden era of the city.

Beautiful; that's the true spirit of Karachi - ebullient and engaging. It touches us more since we are away from our beloved City. Great work done by I AM Karachi team; my sincere salutations. Keep it up, Guys
haider rehman
Nice , priest however looks sad, wonder what is bothering the poor fellow.
Its a great effort to show Karachi's sites by photographs but it's also very difficult to bring these efforts to words. A true interpreter of photographs, the person who has given words to this effort. Excellently written.
@haider rehman - I have yet to see a cheerful Pakistani Hindu's face.
I wish Manal had stayed a little longer to discover that Haseena Moin couldn't show up for the reading. I enjoyed reading the feature but it needs a correction. Racing to publish the story first shouldn't be a priority. I see how a small mistake marred the impact of entire feature for me as a journalist. Best Wishes!
More Realist
@Realist Haseena Moin did show up. I was there too. I wish you had stayed a little longer.
@More Realist Not for the reading though. I have explicitly mentioned that she didn't show up for the reading session. While, the writer provided the pic of Shandana and Bina, she missed the picture of Haseena's reading session?!

It's sad Karachi has lost its charm of the 50s and 60s - democracy in Pakistan has ruin this province with mushroom of political parties erupting since 1970.

While living in Brossard, Quebec, (near Montreal) Canada, I enjoyed the I AM KARACHI collage very much. Keep up the good work!

Hearts need to bit harder !!! Lets bring our city back to life... Wonderfull initiative... We Pakistanis are great with our art... Let that be our weapon to re-awaken our spirits
Shaukat Ali
Not bad; but not good enough. Karachi is much much more beautiful.
Karachi was one of the cleanest, greenest and prosperous city and was competing with Mumbai before partition. There were a lots of Hindu businessmen doing export from Karachi port. I hope the glory of this city needs to be reinvented.
Citizen of Karachi
Karachi, oh Karachi while most of your people slept There were others who, for you, wept For what you are now, what you could have been For what you are now, what you should have been ... Hats off to the team who keep the faith alive.
