About KANERE
The Kakuma News Reflector, or KANERE, is an independent news magazine produced by Ethiopian, Congolese, Ugandan, Rwandan, Somali, Sudanese and Kenyan journalists operating in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya. It is the first fully independent refugee-run news source of its kind to emerge from a refugee camp, and has attracted considerable international attention.
Leading scholars in the field of human rights and refugee law have contributed to KANERE's pages, including Dr. Barbara Harrell-Bond of the Oxford Refugee Studies Centre, Merrill Smith of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, and Dr. Ekuru Aukot, director of the Committee of Experts on the Kenyan Constitution. For links to international media coverage of KANERE's founding and progress, see KANERE in the News.
When sufficient funding becomes available, we aim to circulate a print version of the online news magazine in Kakuma camp and town. In the meantime, a limited number of print copies are made available for reading in public spaces around the camp. We will endeavor to publish on a monthly basis until funding allows us to increase our publications to twice a month.
KANERE is a registered National NGO in Kenya through the NGOs Coordination Board under the Ministry of State for National Heritage and Culture. Its initial development has been supported by a Fulbright Research Grant from the U.S. Institute of International Education. We continue to seek a more sustainable source of funding, and welcome all proposals or suggestions to this end.

Hi the editor-in-chief of KANERE and good people of Kakuma refugee camp. I work with MHI International and we will continue to advocate on your behalf for better living conditions with the hope that things will one day improve in your lives. We were in Kakuka in October of 2007 to see how our organization can help improve your lives, as well as some who are now relocated in the United States. Our interest in Kakuma started in 2004 when we started to work with about 600 ex-refugees from Kakuma now relocated in Denver, Colorado USA. Many of them are doing very well and we hope that one day you too will have your break. We hope to visit you soon. Continue the good work. Email us your current edition.
I am encouraged and inspired by the publication of KANERE within Kakuma Refugee Camp. I found your blog through a search for information about Kakuma after seeing the film "God Grew Tired of Us".
My 10th grade students living in New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States, were fascinated by the film. We are interested in developing a pen pal program with teenagers living in Kakuma. Please add me to your listserv and let me know how we might go about initiating or joining such a pen pal program.
Thank you,
Susan Ellwanger

Am very much impressed by the moves taken by the refugees in the camp. I was once a refugee at Kakuma. I came to realise Kakuma was one of the best places to be remembered ever in once's history if you've been there. I will never forget about the education processes we have underwent in the camp. People like Wakithae who was the headteacher of Napata made our days in schools. Now their wise saysings still rings in our minds.
To my fellow old boys and girls of Kakuma schools, join us in facebook at: Napata, Bortown and Kakuma Sec. Students and Teachers worldwide. This link is helping us to come together as one group though we are spread in the whole world.

Hi Solomon,
Thanks so much for your comments and i will take up your request, great to hear that you had lived at kakuma camp and during your stay met with the refugee lawyers you have mentioned above!
Understandably, i feel that you must be resourceful enough to contribute to KANERE issues and life experience both at the camps and abroad?
Greetings. I am a resettlement volunteer in the United States. I am interested in
communicating with residents of Kakuma about your experiences with the aid
organizations operating in the camp. Specifically, I want to hear your
opinions about which programs best promote human rights and agency, and why
you think this is so. Likewise, I am interested in hearing your critiques
of programs that seem less effective. How should aid organizations interact with residents of Kakuma?
If you are interested in sharing your opinions, please respond to the
questions here. By posting your opinions, you agree to have your ideas
incorporated into my study on perceptions of aid organizations in the Kakuma
refugee camp. You do not receive any direct benefit by sharing your
opinions; however, by doing so, you contribute to the open dialogue that
KANERE promotes. If you want to share your opinions privately-for whatever
reason-you may contact me by email at* firstname.lastname@example.com*. Your opinions will
be kept private and anonymous..
Dear Michele James,
Thank you very much for your comments on KANERE's blog and we welcome your research study. I know many refugees "Incentive" staffs and those who can afford to go online – however there are limited and expensive internet would be at Kakuma, they will find the discussions interesting and will take part in the discussion; Also trying to link up with the community leaders can add value…
im among of those refugees who living in kakuma refugee camp so can i get any suppot 4r any one who is willing to help me directly or even reply to me?
Thank u
Hi Janet,
Thanks for your good comments about our news paper. Its great that you have once visited kakuma camps and knowledgeable about the practical situations of what the camps look like and protracted refugees stays.
I welcome your research thesis and keep reading kanere and be in touch with us at any time possible!
KANERE Editor
Hello! My fellow kanere,i relly appreciate ur work experience as refugees in camps life 4 longtime and get more encouraged in bad situation, try to keep it runing unitl some more eyes will find you…
Welcome kakuma, i am Somali by nationality i leaving kakuma2 zone1 block5 i don't have many information for this program. i request a translator because i speak Somali,swahili,french,rwanda, burundi languages,thank you for bringing our sufferings to other donors – my contact number is 0716173302
I like this program.
I lived in Kakuma between 1997 and 1998. I did research with the wonderful, brilliant Dr Barbara Harrell-Bond. I loved the spirit of defiance and strength amongst the refugees who refused to lose their dignity, even in the camp. I loved the Turkana people who were fierce and proud and whose land people denigrated, but who loved their land. I loved the countryside, its harsh beauty. But I hated the razor wire fences, the humiliating conditions people were forced to live in, the undignity of ration cards, the dehumanising machinery of UNHCR, the corruption which I witnessed against people who were at their lowest ebb. I was surprised and amazed at how life just goes on, regardless, even in a camp. I got married there because I couldn't afford to go home to marry, and my husband to be only had enough money to come to the camp, marry me, and go home again!
What I would love to happen is for the camp to be dissolved, and the aid to be given to the local host community, in a fair, transparent, just way, along, perhaps, if necessary, with basic educational and renewable energy equipment. I would love to see the issue of climate change tackled right there in Turkana district, in an area which is experiencing longer and more severe droughts year on year, but which is ignored. I would love the cultures of the people in Turkana, and of the peoples of the camp, to all be respected, all the hierarchical thinking which seeped in and created huge tensions between different peoples and different groups to be tackled. And above all, I would love to be there when, as it well could, restoration of the land took place, real respect for nature and culture evolved, and the desert bloomed, as only deserts can.
If there is any way of contacting those people to whom I taught English in the camp, I'd love to know how you all are, and what you are doing now. If there's any way of contacting those people who were in Compound 4, or who knew me there, I'd love to hear your news. It was a great honour working amongst you and I am proud and humbled to have been a part of the Kakuma community, even though I made countless mistakes, and had huge personal difficulties during my time there. I hope you know that I was there because I utterly respected the people and the place, and that it shaped my life in very many ways for which I will always be grateful.
With Respect, and with Love,
I'd like to contact anyone who knew me in the camp. I was teaching English through the Windle Trust and I was collecting oral testimonies from young southern Sudanese boys. I just had a call from Festo Bonyo and will put him in touch with the site. You were a brilliant publication. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Hey kanere, I hope evrythng is runing smothly. I always think about the challenges that you are going through despite the honourable work that you are doing in this camp! We need this voice!! May God bless us. All the best,

How many organizations know about the eritrean refugees who are living in kakuma with out any assistance,this people are almost 0.9% of the total community.but unhcr have been using systematic isolation!!! have anyone seen 1 name of eritrean on the board for case profiling since 2010??? U have to speak out!!
I appreciate, cause I found just what I was having a look for.
You've ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a
nice day. Bye
Wow… I am really moved by such a good initiative.. Kakuma was my second home for the past 17 years. It was where i grew and learnt ABCD… I love kakuma with all of my heart n soul.
I am a South Sudanese, we the people who suffer the pain of killing and lost of our people and displacement of many, are now surprise of not being given chance for profile, how will we forget those memories? please give more attention to us, Kakuma cannot help us in that regard.
As a refugees sound please highlight the point to UNHCR.
Reath Kuol
My names Mark ndayizeye. i am Burundian, i like this work of Kanere org. It came to our time in the history of Kakuma refugee camp. Thank you
I would wish to write for KANERE news. Am a refugee too.
Last week one Somali Bantu family were almost refused to collect their ration card food at Kakuma 2 food distribution center as they were told that they were resettled and have finished their resettlement process, but unfortunately it is corrupted and replaced other people into their opportunity, so I would recommend you to investigate and display this kind of news which is also blessing for you to make them find their Rights
Thank you

Eight years ago, my friend Meg Ryan told me about The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. It's one of the most transformative books I've ever read; I keep a copy with me wherever I go, flipping through its highlighted pages time and time again. For anyone seeking to lead a more connected, vibrant life, The Power of Now is essential reading, and Eckhart's follow-up books—Stillness Speaks and A New Earth—explain the core principle that has resonated so deeply with me and thousands of others: The only moment we ever really have is this one. Happiness isn't in the future or the past, but in mindful awareness of the present.
Eckhart should know. By 29, the German-born author had become an eminent research scholar at Cambridge University in England, but success wasn't enough to halt his descent into a depression so severe that he considered ending his life. In what could have been his final hour, Eckhart stumbled upon an insight that started him on the path to becoming a spiritual teacher: We are not our thoughts. The very fact that we can objectively observe our thinking, he reasoned, suggests that the constant and often negative dialogue in our heads is separate from who we really are. Realizing this can bring us closer to the kind of fearlessness and peace that Eckhart has experienced since his dark night of the soul.
It was one of the great joys of my career to talk to Eckhart on Oprah & Friends on XM Radio as part of my Soul Series. He gave a kind of course on conscious living: trading our autopilot existence for intentional awareness; recognizing how we create our own suffering through obsessing over our past history; and learning how to be present, for ourselves and for the people around us, in a compassionate, nonjudgmental way. His encouraging inspiration has allowed me and many other people to see the possibility of an awakened consciousness. I think he is a prophet for our time.
OPRAH: In the beginning of The Power of Now, you describe how, at 29 years old and considering suicide, you thought, I cannot live with myself any longer.… And then suddenly I became aware of what a peculiar thought that was. Am I one or two? If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me: the "I" and the "self" that "I" cannot live with. Maybe…only one of them is real. I love this because it's the first time I thought, When I say, "I'm going to tell myself something," who is the "I" and who is the "self" I'm telling? That's the fundamental question, isn't it?
ECKHART: That's right. Most people are not aware that they have a little man or woman in their head that keeps talking and talking and whom they are completely identified with. In my case, and in many people's cases, the voice in the head is a predominantly unhappy one, so there's an enormous amount of negativity that is continuously generated by this unconscious internal dialogue.
OPRAH: What happened that enabled you to realize this?
ECKHART: One night, at the moment you were referring to, a separation occurred between the voice that was the incessant stream of thinking and sense of self that identified with that voice, and a deeper sense of self that I later recognized as consciousness itself, rather than something that consciousness had become through thinking.
OPRAH: When you realized that the voice in your head was separate from the awareness, did it blow your mind?
ECKHART: Yes, it did. I didn't understand it; I just realized the next day that I was suddenly at peace. There was a deep sense of inner calm, although externally nothing had changed, so I knew something drastic had happened. A while after this transformation, I was talking to a Buddhist monk who said that Zen is very simple: You don't rely on thought anymore; you go beyond thinking. Then I realized that was what happened to me. All that unhappy, repetitive thinking wasn't there anymore.
OPRAH: Where does our identification with these thoughts and this voice in our heads come from?
ECKHART: The sense of self that is derived from our thinking—which includes all one's memories, one's conditioning, and one's sense of self—is a conceptual one that is derived from the past. It's essential for people to recognize that this voice is going on inside them incessantly, and it's always a breakthrough when people realize, "Here are all my habitual, repetitive, negative thoughts, and here I am, knowing that these thoughts are going through my head." The identification is suddenly broken. That, for many people, is the first real spiritual breakthrough.
OPRAH: How is it spiritual?
ECKHART: I see it as not believing in this or that, but as stepping out of identification with a stream of thinking. You suddenly find there's another dimension deeper than thought inside you.
OPRAH: And what is that?
ECKHART: I call it stillness. It's an aware presence, nothing to do with past or future. We can also call it "waking up." That's why many spiritual traditions use the term awakening. You wake up out of this dream of thinking. You become present.
OPRAH: Your book Stillness Speaks is all about that awareness. I love this line: "When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice—the thinker—but the one who is aware of it."
ECKHART: That's right. The stream of thinking is connected with the past. All your memories, reactive patterns, old emotions, and so on, they're all part of that, but it is not who you are. That's an amazing realization. Of course, the mind may then say, "Well then, tell me who I am."
OPRAH: That's the big question. So what is the answer?
ECKHART: The answer is, who you are cannot be defined through thinking or mental labels or definitions, because it's beyond that. It is the very sense of being, or presence, that is there when you become conscious of the present moment. In essence, you and what we call the present moment are, at the deepest level, one. You are the consciousness out of which everything comes; every thought comes out of that consciousness, and every thought disappears back into it. You are a conscious, aware space, and all your sense perceptions, thinking, and emotions come and go in that aware space.
OPRAH: You've often characterized thinking as a terrible affliction, even a disease, that is the greatest barrier to the power of now. But isn't to think to be human? Isn't that how we differ from other animals?
ECKHART: Yes, and thinking can be a powerful and wonderful tool. It only becomes an affliction if we derive our sense of who we are from this dream of thought. In that case, you're continuously telling yourself what I call "the story of me." For many people, it's an unhappy story, so they're always dwelling on the past. That's a dysfunctional and unhappy state.
OPRAH: We live in a world where most people believe they are their story. "I was born in this family, this is where I was raised, these are the things that happened to me, and this is what I did." If you are not your story, then who are you?
ECKHART: That's a very good question. You cannot deny, of course, that these events exist; one's personal history has its place, and it needs to be honored. It's not problematic unless you become totally lost in that dimension. How do you experience your past? As memories. And what are memories? Thoughts in your head. If you're totally identified with these thoughts in your head, then you're trapped in your past history. So, is that all there is to who you are? Or are you more than your personal history? When you step out of identification with that and realize for the first time that you're actually the presence behind thinking, then you're able to use thought when it's helpful and necessary. But you are no longer possessed by the thinking mind, which then becomes a helpful, useful servant. If you never go beyond the thinking mind and there is no sense of space, it creates continuous conflict in relationships.
OPRAH: Tell me more about that space.
ECKHART: It's that spacious, aware presence that you can bring to any relationship. For example, when you listen to your partner or a friend or even an acquaintance, can you be there as the aware space that is listening? Or, while the other person is speaking, are you constantly thinking, preparing the next thing you're going to say? Are you judging and evaluating what you're hearing, or can you be there as the space for the other person? I would say that's the greatest gift you can give someone. It's especially important for parents and children, but also in intimate relationships. Can you listen to the other person in that simple state of alertness in which you're not judging what you're listening to? If you can, then you're there as a presence rather than as a person. You're not imposing mental labels, judgments, or definitions on the other person. There's a deeper level of awareness.
OPRAH: For those of us who are still working with this idea of separating ourselves from that voice in our heads, how do we become a nonjudgmental space?
ECKHART: You can invite it by bringing more awareness of the present moment into your life. For example, I recommend that people bring a conscious presence to the everyday activities that they do unconsciously. When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you're waiting for the elevator—instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.
OPRAH: Yes. Like when people take showers in the morning, they're not in the shower; they're thinking about getting to the office, what they have to do that day, and making lists instead of feeling the water, staying in the moment.
ECKHART: That's right. Bring those spaces into your everyday life, as many as possible. When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, I don't have time. But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.
OPRAH: The Power of Now has saved me many, many times. As a matter of fact, this has been one of the most hectic days. I just got back from Africa. I'm sleep deprived, and I woke up this morning thinking, Oh my God, I'm going to be so stressed. But I let that go and just thought, I will be present now. I taped four television shows today, and I was very excited about being able to talk to you, but I kept saying to myself, Don't think about how many other things you have to do. Just be present now. And that is what has gotten me to the end of the day, in this moment.
ECKHART: That's a continuous refocusing on what really matters—what matters most in anybody's life, which is the present moment. People don't realize that now is all there ever is; there is no past or future except as memory or anticipation in your mind.
OPRAH: But that's what throws me: In The Power of Now, you say there's no past. There has to be a past, because there are all of our memories, all these ways we defined ourselves.
ECKHART: Nobody can argue with the fact that there is such a thing as time. We used time to meet here—otherwise it would have been difficult.
OPRAH: Right. We agreed on this time, and we are here, because this is now.
ECKHART: Yes. So time is something that we cannot do without. We could even say time is what dominates this entire life that we experience here, the surface level of reality. It's completely dominated by time, which is the past and future in the continuous stream. People look to time in expectation that it will eventually make them happy, but you cannot find true happiness by looking toward the future. It's been said there are two ways of being unhappy: One is not getting what you want, and the other is getting what you want. If you think this, that, or the other thing is going to make you happy, when you get what you wanted, you will again be focusing on the next moment—never being in this moment, which is all we have.
OPRAH: That's another thing that changed me when I read The Power of Now: You wrote that all of our stress is based on thinking about what happened in the past or what should be happening in the future, and that, no matter what crisis is going on in your life, if you're able to take a deep breath and look at what is happening now, in this moment, you're okay.
ECKHART: That's right. Many people identify their sense of self with the problems they have, or think they have. As a reality test, I ask people, "What problem do you have at this moment? Not in an hour or tomorrow, but what problem do you have now?" Sometimes, they'll suddenly wake up when they hear that question, because they realize that at that moment, they don't have a problem.
OPRAH: Maybe at that moment, during a lecture with you—but what if you're in a dangerous situation in the present moment? That's a problem! What then?
ECKHART: If danger arises in the present moment, there may be an emotion. There may even be pain. But that's a challenge, not a problem. For a problem to exist, you need time and repetitive mind activity. In a dangerous situation, you don't have time to turn it into a problem. So when people ask how they can get over their problems, I suggest that they go into the present moment and see what the problem is now. They always have to admit, "Well, right now I don't actually have a problem." Even people serving life sentences in prison have written to me to say, "I understood your message, and I have become free." They're free inside.
OPRAH: Okay, what if you're not in a dangerous situation but have normal, everyday problems? I've got a lot of those swirling around right now.
ECKHART: Start by entering the present moment so that you find that space in which problems cannot survive. In that moment, you contact a deeper intelligence than the conditioned thinking mind. That is the place where intuition, creative action, knowledge, and wisdom come from. Make sure you're not in a state of negativity with the present moment, because you can take action on the basis of negativity—for example, you might feel angry about not having much money. You work extremely hard and after some years you become wealthy. But all that action is contaminated by negativity if it comes out of anger, and it will create further suffering for yourself and others.
OPRAH: How can you change that?
ECKHART: See how you relate to this moment. When you do that, what you're really asking is, What is my relationship with life? The present moment is your life. It's nowhere else—never, ever. So, no matter what the situation is when you align yourself with the present moment, find something to be grateful for. Gratitude is an essential part of being present. When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously, even if it's just gratitude for breathing, gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body. Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment; that's the foundation for successful living. Once you've made the present moment into your friend through openness and acceptance, your actions will be inspired, intelligent, and empowered, because the power of life itself will be flowing through you.
OPRAH: Even if what's going on in that moment is making you uncomfortable.
ECKHART: Yes, even if the mind judges the moment as negative. Sometimes the mind will tell you there's no point in even trying. But you don't have to believe every thought that comes into your mind.
OPRAH: Do you practice this all the time? Are you always in the now?
ECKHART: Yes. Occasionally if, for example, I see somebody inflicting pain on somebody else, anger may arise briefly and pass through. But it doesn't link into the brain and create an enormous amount of useless thinking. Emotions can come and go, but I'm in a state of surrender to what is, because what is happening is already the case. You can't really argue internally with what is; if you do, you suffer.
OPRAH: But does accepting whatever is happening leave you passionless for life?
ECKHART: No. In fact, you are more passionately alive when you're internally aligned with the present moment. You let go of this inner resistance, which on an emotional level is negativity and on a mental level is judgment and complaining. People have an enormous amount of complaining going on in their minds. Some even do it out loud.
OPRAH: And usually they're complaining about what happened in the past.
ECKHART: Or what should be happening but isn't. These are ways of denying the present moment. That's a very dysfunctional state because you're basically denying life itself. There is no life outside of now.
OPRAH: All right, but then how do we plan for the future? We're all told that we should do that, not be passive about it.
ECKHART: Yes, and by planning for the future, you won't need to lose yourself in the future. The question is, are you using time on a practical level, or are you losing yourself in the future? If you think that when you take a vacation, or find the ideal partner, or get a better job or a nicer place to live or whatever it is, that then you will finally be happy, that's when you lose yourself in the future. It's a continuous mental projection away from the now. That's the difference between clock time, which has its place in this world, and psychological time, which is the continuous obsession with the past and the future. There needs to be a balance between dealing with things in this world, which involves time and thinking, and not being trapped here. There is a deeper dimension in you that is outside that stream of time and thinking, and that's the inner stillness, peace, a deep, vibrant sense of aliveness. You're very passionate about life in that state.
OPRAH: Wow. That's what we're looking for here! The Power of Now is one of the most enlightening books I've ever had the privilege to read. Why did you feel the need to write a follow-up, Stillness Speaks?
ECKHART: The teaching evolved in the years after the book came out; I had some new perspectives on the basic truth. Also, there was more to be said about that which blocks the new consciousness in most of us; one way to describe it is the human ego.
OPRAH: This is my favorite thing to talk about. How does the ego block consciousness?
ECKHART: Well, first we need to see clearly what the ego is. It's not just being selfish or arrogant or thinking yourself superior; ego is identification with the stream of thinking. The beginning of ego is described in the Old Testament with the famous story of the apple: Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge, and they lost that state that is externalized in the Bible and called Paradise; they lost a deeper state of connectedness. I don't think it was as immediate as it's described in the Bible. To me, that story is about the rise of the ability to think, to make judgments: This is good, this is bad. And I believe it took a long, long time of increased thinking until people reached a point where they derived their entire sense of who they are from the stream of thinking, the mind-made entity composed of memories, past conditioning, and mental concepts. This is the ego that people identify with.
OPRAH: In your latest book, A New Earth, you write that the ego is no more than identification with forms—physical forms, thought forms, emotional forms—and if evil has any reality, this is also its definition: complete identification with form.
ECKHART: That's right.
OPRAH: And that it results in a total unawareness of connection with every other being, as well as with the source, and this forgetfulness is the original sin. When I read that I thought, You're right. Every evil act or sinful thing we've heard described is due to a complete disconnection, a lack of understanding that I am the person that I am attempting to violate.
ECKHART: Yes. By living through mental definitions of who you are, you desensitize yourself to the deeper aliveness of who you truly are beyond your thoughts. What arises then is a conceptual identity: I'm this or that. Once you're trapped in your own conceptual identity, which is based on thinking and image-making by the mind, then you do the same to others. This is the beginning of pronouncing judgments on another person, and then you believe that judgment to be the truth. It's the beginning of desensitizing yourself to who that human being truly is.
OPRAH: You also wrote about how we identify with labels in A New Earth, and that the more exclusive the label is, the more we identify with it.
ECKHART: Every ego wants to be special. If it can't be special by being superior to others, it's also quite happy with being especially miserable. Someone will say, "I have a headache," and another says, "I've had a headache for weeks." People actually compete to see who is more miserable! The ego that does that is just as big as the one that thinks it's superior to someone else. If you see in yourself that unconscious need to be special, then you already are free, because when you recognize all the patterns of the ego—
OPRAH: What are the other patterns?
ECKHART: The ego wants to be right all the time. And it loves conflict with others. It needs enemies, because it defines itself through emphasizing others as different. Nations do it, religions do it. If you identify with one particular religion, you need the nonbeliever—the other—to feel your own sense of identity more strongly.
OPRAH: You've explained this by saying that it starts when a baby first reaches for a toy, and if the toy is taken away or not given to them, they say "No, that's mine."
ECKHART: That's the beginning of identification with things.
OPRAH: And what happens is, we all grow up and just get bigger toys.
ECKHART: Yes. Ego is always identification with one form or another, which could be a possession—my house, my car, and so on. Your sense of who you are is in that thing. If that thing is then criticized by somebody else, you become extremely defensive or aggressive because your sense of self is being threatened. There are other forms of identification; opinions are mind forms. "I am right" implies, of course, that somebody else has to be wrong.
OPRAH: But tell me this: As long as we are in this human form, we must need the ego; otherwise we would have evolved out of it.
ECKHART: We're evolving out of it now. The ego has been here for thousands of years, and that means it has its place in the evolution of humanity. But our ability to think more and more, so that gradually we became so identified with thinking, was how we lost a deeper connectedness with life—with paradise. I believe we are now at an evolutionary transition where far more human beings than ever before are able to go beyond ego into a new state of consciousness.
OPRAH: You've said that we face a very stark and daunting choice—evolve or die.
ECKHART: This is the point where the evolution of consciousness, the awakening of humanity, is no longer a luxury. The effects of the dysfunctional ego are now being amplified by technology. What we are doing to ourselves, to our fellow human beings, and to the planet is becoming more and more destructive and devastating.
OPRAH: Yes. I had a conversation with Elie Wiesel, and he was saying that this will be known as the Sick Century because of our ability to do the sickest, most evil things to one another. And you're right: Because of technology, there are even greater bombs, ammunition that can kill from farther distances.
ECKHART: Sometimes people ask me if things are getting better or worse, and my answer is, at the moment, both; things are getting better and worse. There are two streams in existence now: One stream is the old, unenlightened, egoic consciousness, which is still continuing. You see it when you watch the news. The other stream is us sitting here now, talking. I'm not saying we're special, but the fact that we're addressing this and that many, many people are reading it and it's meaningful to them means there is another stream here, which is the stream of humanity awakening. Both are present at this time.
OPRAH: How can we not allow ourselves to be dominated by the ego? I know it's a lifelong process, but what can we begin to do today?
ECKHART: The ego cannot survive in stillness, so invite stillness into your life. That doesn't mean that stillness is something you get from outside; it's realizing that underneath the stream of thinking, everybody already has the stillness.
OPRAH: So you don't have to go to Hawaii and sit on a mountaintop.
ECKHART: No, and you don't have to do anything to create it because it's already there. Look very deeply into yourself and see your sense of "I-ness"—your sense of self. This "I" is bound up with the stillness. You're never more essentially yourself than when you are still. You can invite stillness into your life by taking a few conscious breaths many times during the day. Just observe your breath flowing in and out. Another way is to feel the aliveness of your body from within. Ask, is there life in my hands? And then you feel it. It's subtle, but it's there. Is there life in my feet, my legs, my arms? You can feel that your entire inner body is pervaded by a sense of aliveness, and that can serve as an anchor for stillness. It doesn't mean you turn completely away from the external world. It brings balance into your life between being still and being able to deal with things out here.
OPRAH: It's finding the space in between.
ECKHART: That's right. And you may also become aware of a short silent space between two thoughts. When you become conscious of that, then it becomes a little longer, so you have a longer gap of stillness.
OPRAH: But if you become aware for so long that you start thinking about it, then you lose it.
ECKHART: The moment you say, "Oh, look, I'm not thinking!" you're thinking again.
OPRAH: What did you mean when you wrote in Stillness Speaks, "Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness"?
ECKHART: When you watch a tree, just be there as the aware presence perceives the tree. Nature is very helpful for people who want to connect with the stillness. Man-made things generate more thinking because they are made through thinking. Go to nature. Eventually you can sustain the state of stillness even in the midst of a city. I enjoy walking along busy streets with infernal noise and people rushing about and feeling the deep sense of stillness in the background.
OPRAH: It's like being in the world, but not of it.
ECKHART: That's exactly what it is.
OPRAH: You've said that spirituality has nothing to do with what you believe but everything to do with your state of consciousness.
ECKHART: It's the stillness that's the spiritual dimension.
OPRAH: And beliefs are not spiritual?
ECKHART: No, because beliefs are thoughts. Thought in itself is not spiritual, though it can sometimes be helpful because it can be a pointer. If we say, "Find the stillness that's already inside you," that's a thought, but the thought is pointing beyond itself.
OPRAH: At the end of A New Earth you say that the foundation for a new earth is a new heaven, the awakened consciousness.
ECKHART: Yes. That's a wonderful thing. Jesus said, "Heaven does not come with signs to be observed. It is already within you."
OPRAH: The stillness.
ECKHART: Yes.
OPRAH: Do you think it will ever be possible to live peacefully in the now, or is that too much of a lofty goal?
ECKHART: Rather than asking if you can ever be free, because "ever" is a huge amount of future time, ask if you can be free at this moment. The only place where you can or need to be free is this moment. Not the rest of your life. Just now.

| 10.9°C Belfast
The rise to fame of Cilla Black is to be explored in an ITV drama series starring Sheridan Smith as the singer turned TV star.
The three-part series Cilla will look back at her friendship with The Beatles in the early days of the Mersey scene and her relationship with husband Bobby Willis as she established her career.
Sheridan - who won acclaim for her portrayal of the wife of the late Ronnie Biggs in ITV series Mrs Biggs - said: "I am thrilled to be playing Cilla, as she is a British icon.
"In the 60s, as a young girl from Liverpool, she had numerous number ones and sang with The Beatles, her life story is fascinating."
The drama, written by Jeff Pope who wrote the screenplay for movie hit Philomena, will begin filming in Liverpool next month.
It looks at her relationship with the late Willis - a baker who eventually went on to guide her career - and Brian Epstein, The Beatles manager who put her on the road to fame and success. By the 1980s she was one of the most popular names on TV as host of Blind Date and Surprise Surprise.
Sheridan's name was first attached to the drama last summer but at the time it was reported to be a one-off film.
She added: What an era. I can't wait to get up to Liverpool, my favourite city, and start filming. I'm really honoured and just hope I do her story justice."
ITV's director of drama Steve November said: "Jeff's scripts offer an extraordinary insight into Cilla's humble beginnings and meteoric rise to chart success.
"He captures Liverpool life back in the 60s through her eyes and it's fascinating to think of her hanging out back stage at the Cavern Club with The Beatles."

Private School Affidavit Filing Instructions
Updated October 1, 2019
HSLDA Member?
Contact Us with Questions
For your convenience, HSLDA's legal team has prepared these instructions to help guide you in filing the affidavit. If you are a member and still have a question after reviewing these instructions, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you are not yet a member, please join now for access to our legal staff.
The Private School Affidavit for the 2019-2020 school year is posted on the CDE's website. We have had an opportunity to review it, and it appears to be essentially the same as last year.
We do not believe there is anything that will negatively affect the homeschool family or private school satellite program filing a private school affidavit. Private school affidavits for existing private schools and new schools are to be completed and filed between October 1 and October 15 each year. New private schools that start up later in the school year should complete an affidavit and file it when they start up.
The law requires that you file this private school affidavit with the CDE in order for your children, who are enrolled in your private school (which happens to be based in your home), to be exempt from attendance at a public school.
If you are enrolled in a private school satellite program (a "PSP" or formerly referred to as an "ISP" or "umbrella school"), then you do not need to fill out a private school affidavit. Your PSP will do it for you.
If this is the first time you are filing a Private School Affidavit, print a blank copy before filling it out and review it. If you have questions not answered by our instructions below, please call our office for assistance.
Individuals who do not have access to the internet (either at home, the library or with the help of a friend, and with access to a printer) should contact HSLDA for help with filing a "Statement in Lieu." The CDE will not accept a print-out of the online affidavit manually completed by hand. You will need to write to request a hard copy of the affidavit:
Title II Leadership Office—Private Schools
California Department of Education
1430 N Street, Suite 4309
Sacramento, CA 95814-5901
Request by means of fax to: 916-319-0136; or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
First: Make sure your printer is working. You're going to need to print a copy of the confirmation page.
The CDE has stated that they will not accept a Private School Affidavit form that has been printed from the website and completed manually. The website form must be completed online.
The only information required to be reported on an affidavit or statement are the items specifically mentioned in EC § 33190. However, the computerized online affidavit form has been programmed by the CDE to require some additional information. We recommend that you provide only what is necessary to file the affidavit as indicated by the CDE on screen with an asterisk.
Getting Started
Access the Private School Affidavit form on the CDE website. Follow the links for "Filing the Private School Affidavit."
Select the appropriate category:
- Existing school with six or more students (password required)
- All other schools (blank form)
Check "Yes." You are filing as a private school under Education Code 48222.
School Information
1. Name of School: Select a name for your school. You may use your last name in the name of the school, but we do not recommend doing so.
2. Does not apply to new schools. Only applies to existing schools that have been previously assigned a school ID number (CDS Code). Small private schools with 5 or fewer students are not assigned a CDS Code.
3. Choose the appropriate county by selecting from the drop-box.
4. Select public school district by selecting from the drop box. If there is more than one (elementary/highschool) select either one, it does not matter.
5–13. Insert street address. Mailing address, fax, and website are optional. Telephone is required. The email address you enter is where you will receive an automated email confirmation.
14. Type of School: Private homeschoolers should check "Coeducational."
15. School Accommodations: "Day Only."
16. If your school does not provide special education services, leave it checked as "no."
17. Range of Grades Offered: Your choice can reflect an elementary school of grades 1–8; a high school of grades 9–12, or a grades 1–12 school. It makes no significant difference which you choose.
18. High School Diploma Offered: Private schools may issue diplomas.
19. Classification of School: Your choice. If you select "religious," most homeschoolers are not directly sponsored by their church, so use the drop box and select "Not affiliated with any denomination."
Prior Year School Information
20. Has this school ever filed a Private School Affidavit under a different school name? Unless your school has changed names, leave this field marked No.
21. Former name of school: Leave blank unless your school has changed names.
22. Has this school changed public school districts? If you filed an affidavit last year and have since moved, answer Yes.
23. Provide your prior school district if you have moved, otherwise leave blank.
Statistical Information
24. Range of Students' Ages: If you only have 1 student, that student's age will go in both boxes.
25. Enrollment on a single date October 1–15, 2019: Total number of students in your school.
On your Private School Affidavit, do not indicate enrollment of any children under 5 years of age. California's compulsory attendance laws only require that children be enrolled by their 6th birthday in the year in which they turn 6 on or before September 1 for the 2019–20 school year. You may, of course, teach your children who are under 5 years of age at home. They simply are not formally enrolled in your private school and therefore should not to be included in the number of students which you indicate by grade level on the affidavit form. By reporting any enrollment of children under 5 years of age, you could be perceived as operating a preschool program. The state Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division, rather than the Department of Education, has jurisdiction over the licensing of all private nursery schools, preschools, and day-care centers within the state. Any established, organized program for children younger than 4 years and 9 months of age is designated a preschool and must be licensed.
26. Number of 12th-grade graduates in the 2018-2019 school year: List appropriate number.
27. School Staff: You must have at least one teacher. So if you are not including a spouse or any other staff on your affidavit, you must count yourself as a teacher only. Leave the rest blank. You do not include outside instructors like piano teachers.
Administrative Staff
28. Site administrator: For homeschoolers this can be either the husband or wife.
29. Site Administrator Title: Select from options in the drop box. It does not make a significant difference which title you choose.
30. Site Administrator Email Address: This can be the same email address you listed in No. 9
31–34. Directors and Principal Officers: You must list at least one director. For the individual family, it may be the husband or wife, or both. Only one is required.
35. Email addresses are optional.
School Records
36–39. Custodian of Records: This can be either the husband or wife.Tax Status of School
40–43. Tax Status of School: Check No. 43 "None of the above." Nonprofit status is something you have to apply for with the IRS. Individual families cannot obtain a nonprofit tax status.
Acknowledgments and Statutory Notices
44–54. Acknowledgements: Check all the boxes indicating that you have read and understand the statements. Number 49 does not apply to individual families filing as a private school, but you must still check the box to acknowledge that you have read it.
Electronic Signature: The electronic signature is in lieu of mailing a signed copy to the California Department of Education. You are filing under penalty of perjury so a signature is required. The identifying questions they ask for as part of the electronic signature is information they need in case they ever need to verify that you were actually the person filing the private school affidavit.
Submit Form: Click on the "Submit Form" button at the bottom of the online affidavit to submit your completed affidavit to the CDE. It will generate a confirmation page. Print two copies of that page for your records.

U.N. Across America
The Humpty Dumpty Institute's "U.N. Across America" is designed to show ambassadors and other diplomats assigned to the United Nations parts of America which they might not normally have the opportunity to visit. Humpty Dumpty organized its first U.N. Across America program in partnership with the United States Mission to the United Nations in April 2005 with a visit to New Orleans, Louisiana by eight women ambassadors.
Since then we have taken over one hundred diplomats on visits around the United States. In 2007, Humpty Dumpty programmed 38 U.N. diplomats in Detroit, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis, Jackson, Wyoming, New England, Des Moines, and Nashville. These programs allowed the diplomats to take part in academic round tables, meet local and state political leaders, and gain a better understanding of the people, culture, and economy of the United States of America.

Several practitioners of alternative medicine have recommended the use of colostrum to fight the swine flu.
According to Dr.Kathi Fry - a Phoenix based Board Certified OBGYN and Homeopathic practitioner, colostrum might be helpful in mitigating the effects of swine flu, because of its immune boosting properties. Dr.Fry mentioned in a radio interview that, one of the trade names of Colostrum, the Immulox spray, is available in health stores and can be used to enhance one's immunity against the H1N1 virus.
According to Dr.Vijay Bhatkar, founder of Institute of Integrative Health Care in Pune, India, there is evidence of the use of colostrum, in the ancient Indian medicine of Ayurveda, to boost immunity against influenza causing viruses. Dr.Bhatkar mentions that the bovine colostrum has many vital ingredients including a component called "interferon", which can have an effect on viruses such as H1N1.

"I'll paint the whole world silver and gold if I could" was the determined childhood promise that led to a lifetime love affair with art for Kealey Farmer.
In 2003, having finally decided now was the time to make good of that innocent vow at her grandmother's house, the Derbyshire born and bred artist chose to step away from her successful project management career to commit to her true vocation and go professional. She was now a full-time artist.
This move has been proven to have been the right one as the Northants based mixed media artist is now known unequivocally as one of the most impressive, innovative and collectable contemporary British artists.
With over 25 years painting, drawing and personal study experience as a predominantly self-taught artist, Kealey's versatility and authenticity are major contributors to her success.
Having begun her career indulging in strong abstract pieces, dripping with colour and energy – her now signature move towards 3D elements began in 2006. The handmade elements that include glass, diamond dust, Swarovski crystals and finished by the artist herself in resin have become a much-loved fixture within her work.
Touching upon romance, love, relationships and family and possessing an ability to hand produce confident, absorbing, captivating artwork that is almost brash in its delectability; Kealey Farmer signed with Wishbone Publishing Ltd in 2016.

New Delhi (CNN) -- At least 28 people, many of them Hindu pilgrims, were killed and eight were injured when they were hit by an express train at a station in eastern India on Monday, authorities said.
The people were getting off a local passenger train when the fast-moving express train plowed into them, officials said.
People at the station reacted furiously, setting the express train on fire and severely beating its driver, railway officials said.
The collision took place around 9:15 a.m. Monday at Dhamara station in the eastern state of Bihar, said Syed Parvez Alam, a senior local official who gave the approximate death toll.
"It's very difficult to give exact number of casualties right now as bodies are badly crushed," a top Bihar police official, S.K. Bharadwaj, told reporters.
The deaths are another shocking example of the thousands of people who are reported killed on the tracks of India's colossal rail system each year.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed "deep sorrow and shock at the loss of lives of pilgrims," his office said in a statement.
Officials resign after stampede at rail stations kills 36
A Hindu holy month
Monday is an auspicious day in the holy month of Shravan, when many devotees of Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction, head to holy sites across the country.
India's state-run railway authorities said the local train passengers were walking on the tracks when the express train struck them.
"This station is a station in which there were two trains that were already standing because they were supposed to stop there and a super-fast express train was made to pass through there as part of the schedule," Arunendra Kumar, the chairman of the Indian Railway Board, told reporters.
"The passengers got out of the train and got on to the track, and they were moving on that track at the time the train came and got run over," Kumar said.
He said that it wasn't yet the right time "to talk about responsibility" and that "the primary focus is on relief."
Train mows down three elephants in India
Driver 'brutally beaten'
But Adhir Ranjan Choudhary, the Indian minister of state for railways, said that relief trains sent to the area had had to stop far away from the scene because of the violent reaction by the people there.
The relief trains are waiting for police to reach the scene before they enter the area, Choudhary told reporters.
Kumar said the driver of the express train was being treated for serious injuries at a hospital after being "brutally beaten" by the angry people at the station.
In his statement, the prime minister appealed for calm "so that the relief and rescue operations can be carried out without any hindrance."
About 15,000 people die each year simply trying to cross India's mammoth network of railway lines, a report by a safety panel said last year.
People are dying, it said, because of unmanned train crossings and a lack of barricades, fences and pedestrian bridges. Or the platforms are too narrow and stations lack facilities such as elevators for the disabled.
CNN's Sumnima Udas, Harmeet Shah Singh and Brian Walker contributed to this report.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications as recommended by your doctor, or according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Two main types of medications are available to treat BPH. One type relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate and the other kind decreases the amount of hormone that stimulates prostate growth. Symptoms of BPH can also be relieved by antimuscarinics, a group of drugs that work to relax bladder contractions. A phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme inhibitor can also be used to improve urinary tract symptoms.
Prescription medications
- Prazosin
- Doxazosin
- Terazosin
- Tamsulosin
- Alfuzosin
- Silodosin
- Finasteride
- Dutasteride
- Oxybutynin
- Solifenacin
- Tolterodine
- Darifenacin
- Trospium
- Fesoterodine
Phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme inhibitor
- Tadalafil
- Dutasteride and tamsulosin
- Prazosin
- Doxazosin
- Terazosin
- Tamsulosin
- Alfuzosin
- Silodosin
Prazosin, doxazosin, and terazosin were developed to treat high blood pressure. However, the same effect that lowers blood pressure lowers the tension in the muscular valve at the bottom of the bladder, making it easier to pass urine.
These drugs are generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are headache, fatigue, and lightheadedness. A first dose effect may occur that causes blood pressure to drop, which may result in fainting. For this reason, it is recommended that the first pill be taken at bedtime.
There are two different alpha-adrenergic systems, one for the blood pressure and one for the bladder. Tamsulosin, alfuzosin, and silodosin, types of alpha-adrenergic blockers, are specifically targeted at the bladder and prostate. Therefore, they are less likely to cause low blood pressure or fainting, although these adverse effects can still occur. Other side effects include runny nose, abnormal ejaculation, fatigue, and lightheadedness. Alfuzosin has been reported to be associated with less risk of abnormal ejaculation.
- Finasteride
- Dutasteride
Finasteride and dutasteride prevent the formation of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is responsible for the growth of the prostate. These medications may reduce your symptoms and improve your ability to urinate. Finasteride may also reduce your risk of needing surgery.
Side effects for both of these medications include changes in your sexual ability or desire and breast enlargement.
- Oxybutynin
- Solifenacin
- Tolterodine
- Darifenacin
- Trospium
- Fesoterodine
These drugs work by reducing the strength of bladder contractions. They may relieve symptoms of urgency and frequency. Side effects include dry mouth, constipation , dry eyes, and confusion. They may also cause increased difficulty emptying the bladder in some patients.
Tadalafil is a medication that is often prescribed to treat the symptoms of erectile dysfunction . The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved tadalafil as a treatment for BPH, as well. The medication can reduce symptoms, like difficulty starting to urinate, weak urination stream, and the urge to urinate frequently.
Potential side effects of tadalafil include flushing, headache, stomach upset, back pain, and congestion.
Note: You should not take tadalafil if you are also taking nitrates, because your blood pressure may become dangerously low. Also, tadalafil should not be taken in combination with alpha-blockers.
Research has shown that using alpha-blockers with dihydrotestosterone reducers may work better than using either drug alone in men with larger prostates. This type of therapy, called combination therapy, can decrease the development of complications and the need for surgical intervention. For instance, Jalyn is a medication that contains both tamsulosin and dutasteride, a dihydrotestorone reducer.
Certain over-the-counter medications, notably antihistamines and sleeping pills that contain alpha-adrenergic products, and several kinds of prescription medications can cause a worsening of urine flow. These medications can even lead to complete urinary obstruction in patients with BPH. Read labels carefully and check with your physician before you take any new medications or supplements.
A special precaution is issued for the use of alpha-blockers with medications used to treat erectile dysfunction. These medications include:
- Tadalafil
- Sildenafil
- Vardenafil
When taken together, these medications may cause a drop in blood pressure.
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Do not share your prescription medication.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills as needed.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed, they all make great reading, viewing and are inspiring, we are forever grateful to you all.
One of my New Year Resolutions this year is to accept an invitation to at least one Private View Exhibition each month. Naturally, I do not want to attend these on my own, so I am inviting our readers to contribute to each opportunity by supplying questions for the artist I am viewing. The first private view I will be attending this year, is in early February, with Tracey Emin, at her major solo exhibition entitled 'A Fortnight of Tears'. I'll be chatting with Emin there, so please forward any questions you would like me to ask her, on your behalf. Another of my New Year Resolutions is to try to give each individual artist more of my time. That's no easy task but I believe so strongly in all of your work, I want to encourage and help as much as I can. So, to each and every one of you, I wish you a very Happy New Year, with much good health, wealth and success!

We are a small minority, woman owned business oriented to selling IT hardware and software to the federal government.
Our target audience is government buyers and people in procurement. They are not necessarily tech savvy - the need to be captured and impressed by the professionalism but originality of the design. We need to capture the attention of both the young and the old.
We are looking to create a recognizable modern and chic/sharp design that sets us apart from the other resellers. We want to capture a bit of patriotism in our logo (looking for blue or red to be incorporated into the logo). We would like be able to put this theme of a logo towards a website.
We are looking for a red, white, and blue color scheme. It needs to be patriotic but in a very chic and modern way.
Some websites we are looking to compare to are
http://www.agsisystems.com; http://www.talon-edge.com; It needs to look professional and clean. There need to be several tabs where links will be inserted - just like talon-edge.com
Incorporation of important looking military vehicles and high tech servers/computers would be great!!
