The word "Alpha" as a noun means "the first; beginning.In Astronomy, it is used to designate the brightest star in a constellation." And this word is also used as an adjective to denote "being the most prominent, talented, or aggressive person in a group" - for example, the alpha female or alpha male.
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek Alphabet.It is also widely used in Physics & Chemistry.So I hope this info was useful.
Alpha is a great name for the YFCI mag, in my opinion!

yes it is indeed.... I LOVE IT ;D the prob is that this is the first time I know the name of our magazine, I think we shud starting putting the name everytime we mention the magazine!! so instead of saying YFCI magazine, it shud be Alpha- YFCI magazine!! that wud be much better and wud make the name more known to others!! I have another question though: who thought of this name for the magazine?

Your guideline idea is awesome Anu, and I added that to the website as well Anu M has given it a gr8 name.It fits YFCI perfectly! It's okay ."Better late than never!" I have seen all the changes.The magazine website looks complete and professional after the addition of submission guidelines & of course the magazine's name! All changes are good.But the only thing is that in the heading on the magazine website, the spelling of magazine is wrong.It's "Magagazine" there.Please correct it. Thanks for the appreciation.I know the idea is good.

I have another question though: who thought of this name for the magazine? Yeah the name's gr8!Anu M is an intellectual.I really admire her. Yes you're right.The magazine name is everywhere now.We should call it Alpha whenever we talk about it. The magazine's name is on its first page Noor.It's towards the bottom right corner.Check it out again and you'll notice. I think Zach should add the magazine's name to the Member Magazine Topics document too.

Hehe, thanks Anu.. I can't believe I overlooked that. It's done now. As for the ALPHA! Topics, that will take a while. I have to re-configure the .pdf file, which might be a week or so. Hope you understand, thanks.. Anu Maheshwari is an amazing individual. You gotta love her

Yep. Oh.. I Googled "Alpha Magazine", and it looks like someone beat us to the name. So I think we should name it.. "Alpha: The Magazine To Youth, By Youth for Changing the World" or something like that? What do you think?

hmm, so the name is already there? BUMMER!! but I guess it wud be better to say first by the youth cuz we wanna tell who is it by then we wud say to the youth! so I think it wud be better if we said ''Alpha: The magazine by the youth for changing the world to the youth'' that sounds longer! I dunno.... thats what came to my mind... let's hear wat others have to say!

The name's too lengthy.Let it be Alpha only, in my opinion.So what someone already has that name?Our magazine has it's own distinct identity. But if you people want it to be different, then we can start thinking of an altogether new name.

as I was going thro the magazine closely today, I discovered a mistake! if u go to page 25 u'll find my pic there along with few lines and the prob is that those lines fit to another member also called Noor but she lives in Australia and I am in contact with her and she have written the story 'Ali the Iraqi orphan' not me!! so the pic shud be deleted and so with it my name at the bottom. I do not write stories!! so now wat?

That's a big mistake indeed.But what's the use of correcting it now?It's been 2 months since the magazine was published and sent to all members.I think we can publish a special note in the next issue, clarifying the mistake.
