Power of the Spark
He was in a spacious light, surrounded by silent music that flowed like water. He could breath the water and drink the air, he could see all the sides of all the objects in this space he created. As he stood in the focus of the spacious light, he could see a darkness spread out above and below him. In the darkness he could hear the eyes and smell the faces of the many figures that looked totally identical to himself. As he breathed in deeply the music of light, he closed his eyes
The light touched her and she suddenly found herself looking in on a brilliant light, and saw it to be the spark that he held. She tries to look around, but realizes that it is not possible. She is there conciously but not physicaly, and is only able to observe. She lets her thoughts travel, and is sudenly behind him, watching as he prepares himself for something incredible
She is here. The fact reverberates through the space, causing ripples in the light and music. He ignores her and focuses at the task at hand. Concentrating on the reflections of himself, he reaches out with his thoughts and absorbs the music and light until he can hold no more. As he fills with the beauty and knowledge, he shifts his attention to the closect copy of himself. As his focus lands entirly on the first, he is thrown into a spinning chaos of blue fire and red snow. The field has changed to a scene of oddities in which he stands face to face with the reflection he choose. The reflection explains which fraction of his mind it is. As the reflection esplains, he walks closer to it and places his hand on its shoulder... And stabs it in the heart with a dagger of light and music. As the reflection staggers back, it starts to fade and collapse on itself. Before it is gone, he kneels next to it and touches its forehead. A stream of light flows through his fingers and back into his head, and he becomes at peace with that part of his mind, and he blinks... He is back in the spark. the darkness has lessened, and many reflections are gone. He hears a thought that doesnt belong. he turns through the light and sees her standing behind him

Coventry City. .2
IT does not take much to be Coventry City's top scorer. The last Sky Blue to manage 20 in the League was Ian Wallace in 1977- 78, since when it has been a sorry tale of Thompson 8, Gibson 11, Regis 10, Speedie 8. If his temporary employers locate the pounds 250,000 Newcastle are asking for him, Mick Quinn, who scored his fifth and sixth for Coventry in his fourth outing, will get to 20 by St Valentine's Day.
They are already in love with him at Highfield Road, though as a Portsmouth old boy he was roundly booed by the local fans. He answered them as only a natural goalscorer can. He brings more than a nose for the net to his colleagues' play, but they have yet to taste victory since his arrival.
Coventry's dismal strike rate was greatly improved yesterday by the unavailability of Kenneth Monkou, but Southampton's defence was no more profligate than their visitors', and 2-2 is not an accurate reflection of the chances each side charitably laid on for the other. Peter Ndlovu, whose dazzling skills ought to be harvesting more goals, had three goodish scoring chances that another day he might have accepted.
Southampton are now unbeaten in six games, quelling recent calls for the manager Ian Branfoot's dismissal. Had it not been for Iain Dowie's draw-sealing strike just after the hour there would have been little to cheer about. Matthew Le Tissier refused to glow, so this draw was built on the dourer virtues displayed by Neil Maddison, Terry Hurlock and Micky Adams in midfield.
Maddison popped up in the ninth minute to equalise when Steve Ogrizovic flapped at a corner, but goals either side by Quinn proved that Coventry started with the initiative. For his first he sailed up unmarked to meet Lee Hurst's swirling free-kick. For the second he pounced on the ricochet when Tim Flowers blocked a close-range shot from the Premier League's bluntest weapon, Robert Rosario.
There was a shower of chances for both sides in the second half, but Ndlovu and Quinn could only shave the post at one end, while Francis Benali and Maddison could get no closer at the other. When Dowie pounced on yet another botched clearance, justice was seen to be done in an encounter in which neither side managed to be better than the other.
Southampton: T Flowers; J Kenna, M Adams, T Hurlock, R Hall, S Wood, M Le Tissier, P Groves, I Dowie, N Maddison, F Benali. Subs not used: J Dodd, N Banger, I Andrews (gk). Manager: I Branfoot.

On November 23, 2015, Education For Employment and partners Bayt.com and YouGov launched the research initiative First Jobs for Young Women in the Middle East & North Africa: Expectations and Reality.
With over a quarter of the region's young people locked out of the workforce, there are few issues in MENA that have proven as intractable as youth unemployment. The situation is particularly bleak for young women: in some MENA countries, over 40% are unemployed. Yet if women's employment equaled that of men's, the region could see a 47% rise in GDP over the next decade, according to a recent report. On a personal level, women's employment can foster the dignity and financial independence that transform individuals and families.
The First Jobs for Young Women in the Middle East & North Africa: Expectations and Reality focused specifically on young women in MENA to understand where their expectations around recruitment and workplace benefits might diverge from those of employers, and how the attitudes of each group might influence women's participation in the workforce.
The research points to concrete actions that employers, NGOs, governments and young women themselves can adopt to help more young women enter and stay at work.
1. First, we need to build better pathways into the working world.
2. Equipping job seekers with the right skills, information and expectations is equally important.
3. If we want to encourage more women to enter the workforce, the benefits and policies that employers implement should focus on what really matters to young women.
4. Finally, it is important to raise awareness of the current demand for women employees in the workplace, and further increase this demand.
There are tangible steps that governments, NGOs, employers and young women themselves can undertake to increase women's participation in the workforce. If they succeed, the impact of women on economies and societies across MENA could be profound. You can read the full white paper findings hereand read a blog with recommendations for employers and the development community featured by the Concordia Summit.

Phaneesh Murthy, currently the CEO of iGATE, has over the last two decades created three large transformations in the Global IT industry. In recognition of his exemplary entrepreneurship, Phaneesh received the "Outstanding Entrepreneurship" Award for 2011, instituted by Enterprise Asia.
In the 1990s, Phaneesh Murthy was an integral part of the industry that created the huge IT Outsourcing market in India. As the Global Sales Head of Infosys, he has been widely credited as the one who was responsible for taking the organization from just $2 million in revenues to $700 million in under 10 years.
Over the last decade, Phaneesh has embarked upon his second large transformation. Eight years since taking over as the CEO of iGATE, Phaneesh has transformed iGATE from a loss making staffing firm with negative margins, to a best-in-class earnings growth company with high focus on profitability, through his industry pioneering Business Outcomes based delivery model, that has now come to be accepted in the industry and is increasingly being adopted by Global customers. Under Phaneesh's leadership, iGATE grew from $80 million to $1 billion in under eight years. This has clearly reconfirmed Phaneesh as a thought leader in the industry.
Phaneesh's third transformation is already being pegged as a big trendsetter for the industry. Against all odds, in 2011 Phaneesh challenged the previously unheard of scenario of a mid-sized IT company buying out a company that is more than double its size, with the vision of making the combined entity not just a large Tier 1 player delivering Business Outcomes based solutions, but also one that would have the best-in-class earnings growth in the industry.
Phaneesh's achievements include:
- Responsible for the phenomenal surge in Infosys' revenues.
- Instrumental in the first NASDAQ listing by an Indian IT company.
- Pioneering the Outcomes based business model for the Indian IT industry.
- Transforming a loss-making, mid-sized company to a billion dollar Tier 1 player with best-in-class margins.
- Catapulting the market capitalization of a mid-sized company by over 10 times in less than seven years.
- Succeeding in completing IT industry's biggest leveraged buy-out by iGATE of Patni — a company more than double its size.
When not at work, Phaneesh loves reading murder mysteries and engaging in adventure sports.
Phaneesh graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai and did his Masters at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad — India's premier Technology and Management Institutes.

Interview Time Index (MM:SS) and Topic
Phaneesh, thank you for sharing your deep experiences with our audience.
"….It's a pleasure to be here and I'm happy to share some of my thoughts…."
Phaneesh, can you profile your work history and provide a defining and usable lesson you wish to share from all of these major events and roles in your life?
"….You have to keep a very open mind throughout the integration process….To me the percentage of ownership multiplied by the value you can create is the value you will end of getting and not just the percentage of ownership….Never worry about dreaming big or bold, but always follow it up with changing the rules of the game…."
Is there anything more that you can add about best practices and lessons for the founding of companies?
"….Never found a company with friends-only as your partners (if you don't know their work ethics, their appetite to run the long race, or what their stressors are in terms of liquidity needs)…."
What are the tremendous opportunities for innovative IT approaches with businesses out there?
"….At the end of the day, the mega changes or the mega jumps you can make in your business performance is only by innovation. Incremental changes you can make in your business performance by process improvement…."
What are the advantages of outcomes-based models?
"….With the 'dollars for time' model what you end up doing is you produce more time, which is not what the customer wants. With the outcomes-based model it creates a much better alignment between the customer and the vendor creating potential for better partnerships and at the end of the day it makes more people pull in the same direction of more outcomes….It's the integrated model and that is the big change I think that we are trying to bring about in the industry…"
Why are large IT solution providers well positioned to take on more risk, and make the initial investments in technology and operations to better serve their customers?
"….It's just a question of resources, you have more intellectual capability available….more financial capital available….and you can deploy the two together to really invest something for the future…."
Which emerging technologies or movements do you find exciting, scary, or that promise to alter our lives?
"….I believe that the world is going to get more and more complex; we are going to get better tools to get more productive. At the same time, it's scary as to how much technology overtakes our lives and you feel almost completely inept when you don't have all of that technology at your service…"
What changes do you foresee to the skills needed for this future? How can we prepare the workforce for this new reality?
"….Most people, having been exposed to very sophisticated consumer applications, expect the same level of sophistication in the business applications….The ability to write such simplified applications requires complex thinking and work and I think that's where the future will go more and more. The biggest change I find is miniaturization….The concepts of how budgeting and planning will be done, in addition to the technical skills, I think will all start to change…."
Do you feel computing should be a recognized profession on par with accounting, medicine and law with demonstrated professional development, adherence to a code of ethics, personal responsibility, public accountability, quality assurance and recognized credentials?
[See http://www.ipthree.org and the Global Industry Council, http://www.ipthree.org/about-ip3/global-advisory-council]
"….I believe that computing is a profession because at the end the day if you look at it, more than 55 — 60 percent of Fortune 500 capital investments have something to do with technology….As you formally get computing as a profession, the biggest improvement that I think will happen will be in quality standards and quality assurance for all the output in the industry, and I think that will be a very important thing…."
Phaneesh shares some stories (amusing, surprising, unexpected or amazing), from his extensive speaking, travels and work.
"….You (can) assume so much about people….Never assume anything…."
Phaneesh, if you were conducting this interview, what question would you ask and then what would be your answer?
"….What qualities or traits might make a good leader?…."
Phaneesh, with your demanding schedule, we are indeed fortunate to have you come in to do this interview. Thank you for sharing your deep experiences with our audience.
"….Thank you very much, it was a pleasure…."

Blue Blood
Jess is a regular fifteen year old girl, until she discovers that she has Blue Blood, and that she is the experiment of a famous scientist. With her dangerous knowlegde and unlimited powers as a result of it, Jess has become a dangerous threat to hermaster and his work. All the odds seem to be agaisnt Jess, and even her family has turned against.
Jess has only one question; why is she a Blue Blood?
They call me a Blue Blood. For the obvious reason that my blood is a startling sapphire colour, and dries on my skin like ink. Blue Blood is not a sign or a prophecy, quite the opposite in fact. It is the symbol of creation, but not of the natural kind. I was created in a lab, and my Blue Blood is supposed to be the code. If the scientist who created me was ever in doubt of who was an experiment and who was not, all he had to do was to prick their finger with a needle and watch as the Blue (or sometimes red) blood flowed.
Blue Blood was actually invented when one overly-confident scientist decided to fuse the red blood cells with that of a compound made of platinum and a couple of other elements. The platinum mixture welded with the red blood cells, and thus Blue Blood came into excistence. Blue Blood meant that me, and all others like me, had extraordinary abilities, abilities we could never have known about or imagined in the dreams we had.
I wonder what my life would have been like, how much it would have changed, if not for the events of that fateful morning, when I discovered my true identity, as a Blue Blood.

Alcohol Prevention: Strategies That Work
Research and experience show that successful alcohol prevention programs should incorporate one or more of the following three science-based strategies:
Reduce the availability of alcoholThe most documented principle in alcohol use prevention is this: Make it harder for young people to get alcohol, and they will drink less. Communities can make alcohol less available by promoting responsible adult behavior and holding adults accountable when they provide alcohol to minors; by raising the price of beer, wine, and liquor; or by reducing the number of places where alcohol is sold or served.
Improve the effectiveness of law enforcement
Communities can better enforce policies designed to stop drinking among children and adolescents. Studies find that existing laws regulating underage drinking are often not enforced. When these laws are ignored, it not only enables young people to drink, but also communicates a general indifference.
Change social norms
Children draw conclusions about alcohol-related social norms from what they see and hear about alcohol in their families and communities. These norms strongly influence their own attitudes and behaviors regarding alcohol. When communities consistently prevent underage access to alcohol, publicize and enforce alcohol-related laws, and limit the promotion of alcohol, they reinforce the message that alcohol use by young people is unacceptable.
Choosing an Initial Strategy
As you plan your campaign, you should choose one or a combination of strategies from this guide that will work best for your community. The ideas listed below will help you decide. The strategy should be:
Direct, so people will understand what is being proposed.
- Possible within the resources, constraints, and influence of your community or agency.
- Generally supported by citizens, businesses, and public officials.
- Able to show some results in the short term—in one year, for example.
- Able to help build coalitions or partnerships that will broaden the reach of the campaign.
- Start now and your community will be a safer and healthier place for young people of all ages.

Apple has made its first concerted move into the UK mobile advertising market as it seeks to take advantage of the burgeoning sector.
The iPhone manufacturer has recruited two mobile ad industry heavyweights as it plans goes head to head with Google.
Theo Theodorou
Apple has hired former Microsoft EMEA mobile advertising sales manager Theo Theodorou – who built Microsoft's mobile ad network in new territories – as head of sales EMEA at its recently acquired mobile ad network Quattro Wireless.
He joins from publisher Hachette Filipacchi, where he was appointed commercial director of digital sales in October (nma 5 October 2009).
Todd Tran
Meanwhile, Todd Tran, previously MD of Group M-owned mobile marketing agency Joule and a mobile ad industry veteran, has joined Apple as general manager for Europe of the Apple mobile ad network.
The moves come as Apple increases its focus on attracting UK digital media talent. It has appointed Jonny Freeman, Honda's digital marketing manager, as EMEA digital advertising manager, while Simon Thompson, former Lastminute.com chief marketing officer, joined as EMEA general manager of Apple's online store in August.
Apple bought Quattro Wireless last month for a reported $275m (£171m) (nma 5 January 2010). The acquisition followed Google's purchase of rival mobile ad network AdMob for $750m (£467m) last November.
It's likely Theodorou and Tran will take responsibility for building a network of publishers and advertisers across the mobile internet and apps.

The outgoing prime minister, Costas Karamanlis, congratulated George Papandreou, leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (Pasok), and resigned as leader of the conservative New Democracy party.
With most ballots counted, Pasok - which had been in opposition for more than five years - had more than 43 per cent of the vote, enough for an absolute majority. New Democracy had 35 per cent.
The result gives Pasok 160 seats in the 300-member parliament. mr Papandreou, 57, told cheering supporters in Athens: "We stand here united before the great responsibility which we undertake."
The campaign was fought almost exclusively on economic issues as the parties offered dramatically different visions of how to dig the country out of its worst financial crisis in years.
Widespread anger over repeated scandals had already whittled away support for Mr Karamanlis's government.
Mr Papandreou, a 57-year-old former foreign minister whose father and grandfather were both prime ministers, claimed that Mr Karamanlis's austerity plans for tackling the international financial crisis were wrong. He offered a more optimistic solution, saying he would inject up to €3 billion to reinvigorate the Greek economy.
Mr Papandreou's victory and a recent election win by socialists in Portugal buck a European trend that has seen a conservative surge in the continent's main economies.
Mr Papandreou warned Greeks they faced tough times. He said: "Nothing is going to be easy. It will take a lot of hard work. I will always be upfront with the Greek people so we can solve the country's problems together."
He has pledged to limit borrowing by reducing government waste and chasing tax dodgers. Greece's budget deficit is well over the European Union ceiling of three per cent of economic output and has been predicted to rise.Reuse content

- Kolkata gears up to celebrate Easter
KOLKATA: Christians thronged St John's Evangelist Church at Sealdah on Holy Saturday evening to usher in Easter. The Great Vigil of Easter started at 7.30 with a special Easter service followed by lighting of candles and hymns. Christian families in Kolkata had started preparing for Easter on the morning of Holy Saturday itself. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Jesus died on the cross on Good Friday, and came back to life three days later. His resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday, which also marks the end of Lent, the 40-day period of fasting which begins on Ash Wednesday. Easter is the celebration of victory over death, a celebration of new life. "Easter is a happy occasion and entire family celebrates it together. After the Easter service at our church in the morning we will have breakfast together. Easter eggs will ofcourse be a part of the breakfast. The rest of the day will be for visiting and hosting friends and relatives," said Michael Biswas, a resident of Surendra Sarkar Road in Entally. The confectionary section of New Market wore a busy look since morning with people out there to purchase Easter nom noms like Easter eggs, mud pies and cakes. Several families will also be participating in the Easter march from Bishop's college at 3pm on Sunday. People from several parts of the city and its suburbs will congregate at St James' School where a special service will be held. The Easter rally is organised by The Diocese of Calcutta and United Christians of Kolkata. "The objective of this rally is to tell the people of Kolkata about the resurrection of Christ. The entire community will come together and celebrate Easter. At St James we will have a special Easter sermon," said Father Reverend Pradip Biswas. Easter service at St Andrew's Church will begin at 9.30am. After the prayer and the hymns, Reverend Father Swarup Bar will deliver the Easter sermon. "Easter is about the mystery of god. It is also about hope and challenge. I will be talking about the resurrection of Christ," said Father Swarup Bar.
- Coimbatore woman sets up one-of-a-kind rosary museum
COIMBATORE: Located in a quiet residential locality of Annai Velankanni Nagar at Sowripalayam in Coimbatore is a museum exclusively for rosaries which could be the first of such kind not just in the city but in the country as well. In 2000, J Suganthi Rose, who had been a stamp and coin collector since childhood, received a gold rosary from the then bishop of Coimbatore, Ambrose. This gold rosary was given to Ambrose by Pope John Paul II. Since then she developed a passion to collect rosaries from around the world. So far she had collected more than 6,000 rosaries after travelling to five continents and several countries.Her dream of setting up a museum -Madhavin Manikal - exclusively for rosaries materialized in November, 2016. Rosary, a chain with beads, is a common prayer for Roman Catholic Christians. But very few are actually aware of its inception, history and its types, said Rose. There are themed rosaries that are released by the Vatican every year. I researched about them and travelled to various cities across the world to collect them. She has the oldest rosary called `catacomb' made of ivory that was hand-made and is believed to be from the second century . She has also collected a three-foot long rosary from Italy which is made from stones that were collected from the birth place of Lord Jesus. "We have rosaries made of various materials such as seeds, petals, flowers, glass and precious stones. But each has a meaning and history attached to it. Several rosaries are made out of mortal remains of various martyrs, apostles, saints and followers of the religion. Some are even 900 years old," she said. Collecting rosaries wasn't an easy task, she said. "We got in touch with bishops, fathers, our friends and relatives from various parts of the world. I even underwent a rigorous exam at Vatican to get a collection of some relic and martyr rosaries. We travelled to almost every city and country that we were aware of and wrote various petitions and letters to get these," said Rose. Apart from rosaries, she has also put on display types of chaplets (short rosaries made of 10-12 beads), rare statues of Jesus and mother Mary from across the world, spiritual coins and protection chains.
- Puniyani implores people to safeguard the constitution
Nagpur: "A plan to remove the current constitution and reintroduce the Manusmriti is on standby since 1998. Anyone who believes in democracy must be cautious," said social philosopher and author Ram Puniyani during a programme to pay tribute to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on his 126th birth anniversary, on Friday. Puniyani was speaking during a special event organized by Ambedkar Samyukta Nagari Jayanti Samaroh at Kasturchand Park. Ambedkari philosopher and author Yashwant Manohar, social activist Jayshree Shelke, Bishop Paul Dupare from Nagpur Diocese and president of Gurmat Prachar Sanstha Malkiyatsingh Bal were among other dignitaries present on the dais. According to Puniyani, those in power are distracting people away from critical issues like poverty, discrimination and atrocities and instead presenting topics which instigate hatred among the public. "Talking about demolishing mosques and telling people what to eat is not social politics. It is propaganda," the author said while hinting at the dispute over Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. Puniyani indicated that such a propaganda will lead to the re-enactment of the Hindu law which was based on ancient Sanskrit text staunchly opposed by Ambedkar. "Babasaheb created the constitution on the basis on equality and justice for all and the Manusmriti goes against these principals. That is exactly why Ambedkar said he would burn the Manusmriti," said Puniyani. "True saints are those who can empathize with the poor and downtrodden and work towards their uplift, while those who talk against equality for lower caste, minorities and women are an embodiment of evil," he said. Puniyani further said, "Ambedkar's revolution did not stop after 1950," urging people to take Ambedkar's vision of an independent nation forward, and added, "Revolution is not achieved in one day. It is brought about by days and years of struggle and hard work."

In the pastoral letter published in Idukki diocese bulletin, Idukki bishop urged girls to avoid wearing outfits shorter than knee-length while inside the church or on dais to read out the Holy Bible. He also asked women churchgoers who keep special clothes to be worn for prayers and rituals.
- Why brandy when you have wine
The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) has been vehemently opposing any attempt to raise the availability of alcohol in the state but that hasn't stopped its president archbishop M Soosa Pakiam from seeking 900% enhancement of the wine production quota under his Trivandrum (Latin) Archdiocese.
- Kerala Catholic Bishops' Conference circular against diluting liquor policy
The Kerala Catholic Bishops' Conference (KCBC) on Sunday raised its pitch on the liquor policy of the state. In a letter to all Catholic churches in the state on Sunday, the conference warned the LDF government against tinkering with the present policy aimed at implementing total prohibition by 2023.

Exonhit Joins €6M EU Consortium to Develop Tests for Predicting Avastin, Herceptin Response
Exonhit was awarded a €418,000 grant from the European Union's 7th Framework Program (FP7) to fund its participation in the Responsify Consortium, which is focused on the development of biomarker-based assays to predict tumor responses to the anticancer drugs Herceptin and Avastin. The ultimate aim of the project is to develop marked IVD tests for use in current clinical practice.
€6 million in FP7 funding has been pledged for Responsify, €4.8 million of which will be received at the program's start. The collaboration will involve 12 European partners, coordinated by the Charité University Hospital in Berlin. Exonhit will provide its diagnostics development and commercialization expertise, and exploit its Genome Wide SpliceArray™ (GWSA) platform to analyze patient transcriptome profiles. The firm will in addition be responsible for filing for IP protection of molecular signatures and associated tests developed by the consortium, and for progressing CE marking and commercialization of assays identified using its platform.
"This grant, which covers more than 70% of our costs in this project, enables us to add predictive tests in a key indication to our existing development portfolio," comments Loïc Marel, president of Exonhit's management board. "Exonhit's involvement in this consortium is evidence of the quality of its technology and know-how to identify novel biomarkers. Our collaboration with Institut Gustave Roussy regarding the Dx14 test was key."
The microarray-based GWSA platform is designed to enable comprehensive monitoring of RNA splice variants, the firm explains. Arrays cover whole genomes and monitor known and predicted alternative splicing events. The GWSA-developed Dx14 test is currently undergoing clinical validation for use in the differentiation of benign from malignant breast tumors.

Secret: Practising Simplicity
Jodi from Practising Simplicity writes about sacred secrets, worries shared, connections and growth in this very personal piece about being a teacher ...
When I started teaching pre-natal yoga classes, I was completely unprepared for confrontation. I didn't expect women to walk into the room and feel so at ease that they would share secrets of infertility, miscarriage and the heartbreak of stillbirth. I never predicted I'd hear stories of births so challenging that they left women with post-traumatic stress disorder. I was left in tears when one student emailed me to tell me her birth experience had healed her after years of childhood abuse.
I encourage all my students to get a pedicure before they go into labour (rubbing a pressure point on the big toe can induce contractions) … and besides, it's probably their last chance to be pampered for a good, long while.
Throughout their pregnancies, my students spend more time with me than they do their obstetrician or midwife; I have a responsibility to guide them with honest information. I'm not afraid to talk about the cervix or the vagina, and I don't shy away from the primal nature of birth or the reality of pain. When someone mentions the documentary Orgasmic Birth: The Best-Kept Secret and asks whether it's actually possible to orgasm while pushing, I'm frank with them: "Don't get your hopes up."
In pre-natal yoga classes, there are always tears, fainting episodes, exhaustion, laughter and a toilet queue. Much of our time is spent breathing into the belly, releasing the lower back in cat stretch and strengthening the legs and mindset in warrior two. I talk about long labours and anxious partners, the sting of crowning and the toe-curling pain of breastfeeding, the roaring sound of a labouring woman and the sweet exhalation of the final push.
Many midwives, doulas and yoga teachers encourage labouring women to visualise their cervix opening like a lotus flower.
Many of my students are first-time mothers and they carry palpable fear into each class. I come right out and ask them what they're scared of. At first they're confronted, but it doesn't take them long to divulge: pain, tearing, death, bleeding, needles, early labour, sleepless nights, depression, lack of financial independence, credit-card debt, pestering mother-in-laws, jealous pets. Their reasons are varied but valid.
To sit in quiet – bliss for a second, third or fourth-time mum.
Second, third and fourth-time mothers come to class for quiet and rest; to spend 90 minutes connecting to their unborn baby before they go home to children, chores and mess. Some bring vivid memories of trauma and fear into the space and we talk about making peace with one birth experience in order to prepare for the next. There are moments of unadulterated sadness and anguish that are followed by a profound sense of relief; the secret shared.
Beautiful decoration after a flower havan (yogic purifying ritual) in the studio.
I've taught hundreds of women over the past seven years and have heard every birth story imaginable. And while most of my classes are spent breathing deeply, limbering the body, celebrating pregnancy and preparing for birth, I feel I'm doing my students a disservice if I don't talk about the first year of motherhood. How to explain the enormity of it? I ask my students to sit against the wall, close their eyes and hold their hands under their bellies. And then I borrow Joy Kusek's words:
"The most difficult part of birth is the first year afterwards. It is the year of travail – when the soul of a woman must birth the mother inside her. The emotional labour pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, perhaps it is even more sacred."

H - StormMature
Hi, I'm Storominia. Please call me Storm. I can create storms. A storm is a result of my anger. If there's a storm and I'm not angry, it gives me a headache which makes me angry. I can also talk to animals.Though what help that's gonna be I have no idea. I can control people, which has turned out to be useful. I can change my appearance. I love confusing people with that. But the power I love the most is the ability to know everything about a person just be looking at them. At the moment I'm at this big building that a girl just ran out of.
"Hey!" I call to her. She ignores me. "HEY!!!! ALILA!!!" Ha! That got her attention. She stops and looks round at me. "Hey, I'm Storm"
