I love cooking for my family and friends. Using high-quality ingredients are of the utmost importance whether it's the freshest vegetables, meats, fruits, or specialty oil and sauces. Speaking of, I've happily been using Kasandrinos high quality organic extra virgin olive oil for a few months now and am pleased. This oil can be used in everything from homemade salad dressing, the base to fry up vegetables, to give my pasta meals an extra special pick me up, and so much more.
The Kasandrinos Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is wonderful. It smells and tastes delicious and fresh. It comes in a dark shaded glass bottle to keep it fresh for every future use. It is dated for freshness. The 500ml size is a generally good one so one is likely to use it up before its best by date. Anything that needs EVOO this oil is great for. I love using it on my salads and sauteed zucchini and other summer vegetables most of all. It's also a great choice for pasta meals like Shrimp Scampi. The bottle features a lovely design that's not too busy so it looks great if left on the countertop. I think it would make a nice gift to anyone that likes cooking at only $19.99 for a 500ml bottle. I highly recommend it. It can be purchased on the company website and on Amazon.com!
Kasandrinos International proudly offers a single source organic extra virgin olive oil and other high-quality food and skin care products. Kasandrinos International only offers this year's harvest of olive oil. Visit Kasandrinos - http://bit.ly/2epzWON to learn more.

NEA urges Congress to finish health care reform now
Health reform summit highlights reasons nation can't afford to wait or start over
WASHINGTON - February 25, 2010 -
Congressional leaders from both political parties today participated in a summit convened by President Barack Obama to try to get health insurance reform back on track. The National Education Association praised President Obama for his leadership in organizing the summit and called on Congress not to ignore the urgent needs of millions of uninsured people. The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"We applaud the President for his leadership in convening today's summit and his courage in not backing away from the critical issue of health insurance reform. Despite their differences, summit participants agreed that the American people are struggling with health care and the nation's economy will continue to suffer in the absence of meaningful health insurance reform. Discussions during today's summit focused on cost control, deficit reduction, insurance reform and expanded coverage – all essential elements of meaningful reform. Recognizing the differences and the risks, we still believe that the urgent needs of millions of uninsured must take precedence over partisan politics. A majority of working people understand the need for health insurance reform and support it. We now need our leaders to be smart and compassionate and to have the courage to do what's right for America—pass health insurance reform that ensures quality, affordable health coverage to everyone."

Breakers select Vector Arena
THE Breakers have today confirmed that Vector Arena will play host to all play-off matches the club might be involved in at the conclusion of this year's NBL regular season.
Game one of the semi finals will be played at Vector Arena on Friday March 30th, and should a third game be required in the series, the two teams involved (the Breakers opponent is yet to be decided) will return to Vector Arena on Saturday April 7th.
Breakers General Manager Richard Clarke confirmed the news at practice today.
"We are delighted to confirm the larger Vector Arena for all of our play-off games, with dates set aside now to cover all bases, depending on who we come up against and what travel there might be between games," he said.
"One of the key issues to consider in the play-off schedule is player recovery and making sure we don't compromise their chances of success. By playing three regular season games at Vector we have allowed the players and coaches to become comfortable with the environment there but we must also make sure we are not jeopardising their performances by shortening preparation.
Clarke said the venue will hold up to 8,500 fans for each game.
"I can also confirm that we will be operating at capacity, with seating at both end zones, taking seating up to approximately 8,500 - we won't know the exact number until we work out sight lines. Tickets are on sale as of today to our membership and key sponsors and we are also offering priority booking to fans who purchase club memberships for next season (available online), they must move quickly though as this is only available this week. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday next week via the club website www.nzbreakers.co.nz."
Demand is likely to be high given the huge over subscription for tickets to last year's play-off games at the smaller North Shore Events Centre and with the club already having sold out Vector Arena this year to set a record for crowd attendance at a basketball game in New Zealand, a new record and another sell-out is a distinct possibility.
Dates and times for any possible Grand Final Series matches will be made available if the Breakers qualify, first they must overcome either the Gold Coast Blaze, Townsville Crocodiles or the Cairns Taipans in a best of three semi final series, with that opponent not known until possibly the last day of the regular season.

You can always download the latest scripts from here.
Scripts have been completely reorganized and standardized, thanks to the work done by Stuart Herbert.
The main script is samsung-scripts and it has to be installed in /usr/bin/.
All the others scripts must be installed in /usr/lib/samsung-scripts/.
If you are a K/Ubuntu user, install the samsung-scripts package from my repository and everything will be set and ready to be used.
You can have a good summary of how the scripts work by launching the command 'samsung-scripts' from a terminal. This is the output:
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts - Utilities for your Samsung netbook
samsung-scripts status - show status for all devices
samsung-scripts bluetooth on|off|status - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts cpuperf auto|status - no params will switch to next perf option
samsung-scripts lcd on|off - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts webcam on|off|status - no params will toggle
samsung-scripts wifi on|off|status - no params will toggle
To check the current status of bluetooth:
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts bluetooth status
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts cpuperf
Code: Select all
samsung-scripts wifi
when the script is launched in an interactive session (ie, from a terminal), it prints its output on the standard output (ie, the terminal). When it's launched in a not-interactive session (for instance, from an hotkey), it shows its output in a notification bubble.
If you use the samsung-scripts package from my repository, a new rule is automatically added to sudo in order to run the 'samsung-scripts' script with admin rights with no need to insert the user password.
Also, the following hotkeys are automatically created:
- Fn-F4: launch the command 'switchscreenlayout.sh' - (switch to next screen layout, more informations here).
- Fn-F5: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts lcd' - (toggle the lcd brightness).
- Fn-F7: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts bluetooth' - (toggle the bluetooth)
- Fn-F8: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts cpuperf auto' - (show/switch CPU governors).
- Fn-F9: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts wifi' - (toggle the wifi device)
- <Ctrl><Alt><Shift>w: launch the command 'sudo samsung-scripts webcam' - (toggle the webcam)
- <Ctrl><Alt><Shift>m: launch the script 'wmswitcher.sh' - (toggle compiz, only available on Ubuntu)
There is a configuration file, /etc/default/samsung-scripts, for users with a netbook different from NC10, where various options can be configured. Open the file in a text editor and follow the instructions to customize it.

Fifth ATV named after Georges Lemaître
PR 4 2012 - ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATVs) are an essential contribution by Europe to running the International Space Station. Naming the fifth after Belgian scientist Georges Lemaître continues the tradition of drawing on great European visionaries to reflect Europe's deep roots in science, technology and culture.
The first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), which made a flawless flight in 2008, was named after French science fiction writer Jules Verne.
It was followed in 2011 by ATV-2, named in honour of German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler.
It will be the turn of the third ATV, named after the Italian physicist and space pioneer Edoardo Amaldi, to head towards the Space Station on 9 March.
ATV-4, aiming for launch in early 2013, carries the name of Albert Einstein.
Naming the last vehicle of the family, ATV-5, after Belgian physicist Georges Lemaître, father of the Big Bang theory, continues this approach.
The name, proposed by Belgium's delegation to ESA, was endorsed on 14–15 February by the ESA Programme Board responsible for Space Station matters during a meeting at ESA Headquarters in Paris.
On that occasion, ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain said: "Belgium has been a key participant in the European space adventure since its very beginning.
"Its contribution to ESA programmes and activities in general, and to the International Space Station in particular, has been a success for both Belgium and ESA.
"By naming ATV-5 after Georges Lemaître, we honour a world-class Belgian scientist who was instrumental in expanding our knowledge of the origins of the Universe."
The Belgian Minister responsible for Space, Paul Magnette, noted: "I am extremely happy that the great Belgian scientist George Lemaître, born in my hometown, is honoured in this way.
"This shows that his work and achievements have not been forgotten and are still relevant so many decades on.
"Clearly, Belgium's involvement in space in Europe has deep roots and is based on a long tradition.
"The ATV "Georges Lemaître" will carry supplies to the ISS, allowing today's – equally excellent – Belgian researchers to carry out experiments and research on the ISS, thus pushing the boundaries of human knowledge forward in the tradition of Georges Lemaître."
The Space Station depends on regular deliveries of experiment equipment and spare parts, as well as food, air and water for its crew.
Since 2008, every year and a half, an ATV has delivered about 6 tonnes of cargo some 400 km above Earth.
After launch on an Ariane 5 from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, ATV automatically navigates to a precision docking with the Station's Russian Zvezda module.
It remains attached to the ISS for up to six months before reentering the atmosphere and deliberately burning up together with several tonnes of Station waste.
Note for editors:
Georges Lemaître was born on 17 July 1894 in Charleroi, Belgium. He obtained his doctorate in physics and mathematics in 1920 and was ordained a priest in 1923.
He then became a graduate student in astronomy at the University of Cambridge in England studying cosmology, stellar astronomy and numerical analysis.
In 1925, after two years of studies at Harvard and MIT in the USA, he returned to Belgium and became a full-time professor at the Université catholique de Louvain, where he remained for the rest of his career.
In 1927, he discovered a family of solutions to Einstein's relativity equations that described an expanding Universe rather than a static one, and provided the first observational estimation of the Hubble constant. The theory later became much better known as the Big Bang theory.
Lemaître was awarded the highest Belgian scientific distinction and was appointed a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in 1936, remaining active there in until his death in 1966, shortly after having learned of the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation that provided further proof of his theory about the birth of the Universe.

AVAST Makes the Most Trusted Antivirus in the World Even Faster and More Effective
~ Smaller, more frequent updates allow the only antivirus with boot-time scanning to spot and stop malware faster ~
REDWOOD CITY, California, October 15, 2013 – AVAST Software, maker of the most trusted and recommended antivirus in the world, today launched avast! 2014 – the latest version of the antivirus solution used by a quarter of all protected PCs worldwide. With the only boot-time scan in the antivirus market, the 2014 version improves performance, download and install times, privacy, and protection.
"The new avast! 2014 delivers on our commitment to provide faster, better protection to the market," said AVAST Chief Executive Officer Vincent Steckler. "It's the culmination of 25 years of research and the experience of protecting nearly 200 million devices – far more than any other antivirus product."
The avast! 2014 solution offers a new Do Not Track function in the avast! browser plugin. This technology lets users decide which companies they will allow to track their online behavior. For AVAST subscription products, SafeZone provides additional security for financial transactions.
Additionally, avast! 2014 offers even stronger protection with DeepScreen technology. This allows avast! to clear away false code, misdirections, and other techniques malware creators use to mask the true intentions of their malware. By peeling away layers of obscure code, avast! 2014 is able to observe the binary level commands within the malware to better understand the hidden instructions embedded in it. New in avast! 2014 is the Hardened Mode feature, which lets users switch on a whitelisting mode that blocks files from executing when it is unclear whether they are infected or not.
The latest version also empowers users to create a bootable antivirus USB, CD or DVD. That way if anything happens to their PC, the user has the disk ready so they can clean and restore their PC to normal function. The Rescue Disk is built on Windows PE (pre-installation environment) which allows users to boot a PC even when there is no functioning OS. The Rescue Disk function is available in all avast! products and is an integral part of the new remediation module introduced by this new version.
AVAST has also redesigned the entire user interface based on input from its customers. Users will find it simple and straightforward, making it easy to find everything they need. Additionally, the interface puts everything in the same place for both the Free and Paid product lines, making migration easier.
"The avast! 2014 solution is a big step forward," said AVAST Chief Technology Officer Ondřej Vlček. "We now stream more than 250 micro-updates to active devices each day to improve zero-day detection and prevention. By protecting the most devices we have the best insight into the threat landscape, and that translates into better protection for our users."
In addition to releasing avast! 2014, AVAST will be conducting a contest in anticipation of its 200 millionth installation. Details will be announced soon.
The 2014 version is available in four consumer variations – avast! Free Antivirus, avast! Pro Antivirus, avast! Internet Security, and avast! Premier – and in more than 40 languages. AVAST also provides world-class protection for businesses and mobile devices.

Repair Your Energy Body With Nature
Crystals, sound healing, diet, meditation, prayer, fasting, chanting, psychedelics, healing modalities, and breathing exercises are common methods spiritual seekers use to help them improve their metaphysical abilities. Unfortunately, some of these methods are not always readily available or feasible (or sometimes even legal!) for everyone to try for themselves. As someone who assists others in developing their intuition, I find that there is one method that is almost always available and totally free: nature.
Dictionary.com defines "nature" as, "The phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape and other products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations."
-->Facebook Just Shut Us Down: We need your help in taking our power back from big tech, to overcome censorship and the attack on free speech. Click here to help!
This "phenomena" has a really quite amazing effect on the energy body. It heals, restores, cleanses, and much more. What's even more incredible is that each of the many aspects of nature (different environments, herbs, trees etc.) help to facilitate different types of energy healing. So really there is an unlimited number of combinations available to you at any given place on the planet.
Did you have a favorite tree that you liked to climb when you were little? Or flower you liked to pick? You may not have realized it then, but that tree and those flowers each had a unique energetic fingerprint that brought you healing on some level.
Why is this relevant?
Because it means that even if you don't have access to the lush Amazon forest, you can still tap into the awesome power of nature with even one flower or small garden.
Here are 5 ways nature can help repair your energy body:
1. Grounding Scattered Energies
Being immersed in a beautiful forest is an incredibly grounding experience. But even if you don't have access to a wooded area, meditating with a plant or even holding it for a few breaths can help settle your mind and calm your emotions. We need to "ground" our energies when we're overwhelmed or not thinking clearly, or when we need to get back to the fundamentals in life.
2. Cleansing Negativity
Besides having a nutritionally therapeutic effect, plants also benefit us by cleansing our energy. Because they are rooted in the earth, they have this wonderful ability to pull off sticky energies in the aura and release them into the ground. You can try this out by meditating with a plant or walking barefoot outside. After a few minutes, check in with your energy level. Your body and mind will often feel "lighter" or "clearer."
3. Energizing and Uplifting the Spirit
If you have the opportunity to surround yourself with a beautiful natural setting, you have access to an abundance of energy. It's unfortunate, but many of us rarely have a chance to get outside and soak up all that goodness the Earth has to give us. When we do get that chance, it's like the body behaves like a dry sponge, absorbing the abundance of energy that can be found by a body of water, a forest, or even in a garden. Depending on how depleted you are, this "absorption process" can take a great deal of time. But even five minutes a day is a great way to start giving back to your body and replenish its energy sources.
4. Healing with Sound
If you can't immerse yourself in nature, just listening to its healing sound is incredibly soothing for the mind and the soul. Chirping birds, a babbling brook, ocean waves slapping against the shore, the pitter-patter of rain hitting the ground: these are all sounds that are incredibly beneficial. If you can't get to an ocean, just listening to the sound of waves on your headphones can help bring you into a state of peace.
Below is a pretty cool track for meditation and relaxation. It includes the many beautiful sounds of the ocean as well as isochronic tones to help induce a state of deep peace.
5. Healing with Colour
You may not realize it, but the colours that you surround yourself with have an effect on your energy. Colours can be used for protection, healing, and cleansing, or to help rebalance the chakras. For example, the greens and browns of a forest are wonderful for the heart chakra, the deep blue of the ocean assists with cleansing, the brilliant golden sun helps to restore energy and rebalance the solar plexus chakra, and the rich red of a rose is both cleansing and grounding for the root chakra.
The above examples just barely scratch the surface of how wonderful nature is for healing and restoring us. So look to nature to help deepen your meditative practice, reenergize your spirit, and bring your mind into a peaceful state. Tell us about your favorite "nature spot" in the comments below. =)
Do you ever feel like you're looking everywhere for the answers?
Do you feel anxious and uncertain when you think about what you're meant to do in this world?
Do you wish someone could teach you HOW to discover your soul purpose for yourself?

Manifesting Your Vision Through "The Law of Attraction"
The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that all matter is made up of pure energy, which is in a constant state of vibration and spin.
The LOA implies that thoughts and emotions are also energy, each having a unique energy signature. Every energetic frequency is in a constant state of attraction or repulsion with all others. With the recent emergence of quantum mechanics, this notion has been largely supported at a micro level.
The Law of Attraction states that "like attracts like," and we are in a constant state of creating our reality through the energy we emit in the form of thoughts and emotion. We continuously interact with the fabric of reality (or quantum field), through thought and emotional energy, and whatever we focus on is likely to manifest. We are each creators of our own reality, and what we put out is what we will attract.
3 Things You Need to Know First
1. A key factor missing from the LOA is that we are creating on both a conscious and subconscious level. This accounts for the seeming contradiction between "opposites attract" and the major principle of LOA, "like attracts like."
We are still attracting the part of the whole that has been splintered and repressed into the subconscious mind. Basically, the actively repressed traits within ourselves are still charged, and this suppressed energy is also a point of attraction. Until we acknowledge and integrate it, it will still play a role in the creation of our external reality.
2. Our belief systems alter our manifestation process. If you want to manifest $10,000 in one week, but your underlying beliefs are largely identified with a state of lack, you will only manifest more lack.
This is because Law of Attraction works with both thought and emotion, and if you try to think your way into something that you don't believe, your emotional reaction will support your unconscious beliefs more than your conscious thoughts.
If you try to affirm, "I will be abundant," but don't believe it, those beliefs will surface via an emotional response that insinuates the opposite feeling. At that point, you are literally putting the gas and the breaks on at the same time, making manifestation very difficult.
One great tip to overcome this, as stated by Abraham Hicks, is to "start general, and then get specific" with your manifestation process. Start with what you can believe, and continue to expand as you see evidence of your manifestations taking place. This allows your thoughts and emotions to be in resonance rather than dissonance.
3. We are always manifesting according to our highest values. Renowned behavioural development specialist Dr. DeMartini (who was also featured in The Secret) discovered that we all have an inherent set of values that is largely governing our behaviour. DeMartini is quoted as saying, "All of our actions are strategies to align with our values as efficiently as possible," along with, "all of our positive and negative emotions are feedback as to whether or not we are living in our highest values." Essentially, the things we value the most filter our perception at a subconscious level. They are governing the way that we manifest, and the reasons we do.
This is why, for example, someone might set a new year's resolution to lose weight and never achieve their goal. If one of their highest values is social connection, their unconscious will perceive that taking the time to exercise and eat right actually conflicts with the time they would rather be spending at social events with others.
The trick, then, is to change your perception by tying in how exercise and diet actually support your high value on social connection. For example, you might feel more confident meeting new people when you are healthy and strong. Or you can approach it from the other end by tying your value into your goal. In this case, you could try to engage your value of social connection by going to the gym or to nutrition classes with your close friends.
What You Need to Know During Active Manifestation
These are some useful tips if you are meditating on your vision, or practicing visualization.
Clear your mind. To speed up the process of manifestation, presence and focus are key. If your attention is scattered, your manifestation will be too. Write down on paper whatever is bothering you, and vow to leave it outside of your visualization. This will help you stay present.
Open your heart for the process. Connect with the feeling of gratitude as you begin. This can be done by writing a short gratitude list, or by thinking of people/events that you are truly grateful for.
According to the HeartMath Institute, "The heart generates an electromagnetic field roughly 60 times greater in amplitude than brainwaves do." This field is measured by an electrocardiogram (ECG), and brainwaves were measured using an electroencephalogram (EEG) during these findings. The heart is a major point of attraction.
Be clear. The law of attraction is described as a law. This means it responds to everything, without exception. If you are mixed in your emotions or vision, it will slow the process. The clearer and more detailed you are, the faster your vision will come to life.
Engage your senses. Did you know that the brain can't actually tell the difference between experience and visualization? This is why visualization is so useful for athletes. This principle applies directly to the LOA. What do you see, hear, smell, touch, and feel when you have arrived at your vision? Feel each sense distinctly, and don't be afraid to sit with each one individually.
Engage emotion. This is how to charge your vision. Emotions are the driving force behind manifestation.
Align your intention with your values. Tie what you want to manifest into your highest values. More simply put, make sure you can see how your goals support the things that matter most to you in life. This will help you manifest congruently from both the conscious and subconscious mind.
Don't be desperate. Try to imagine that you are gently requesting. If you are being needy or desperate in your request, you are coming directly from an emotional space of lack. The emotional feeling of lack will counteract your thought-energy, and you are more likely to stagnate.
What You Need to Know After
Take action. Taking action will create momentum, while also building evidence toward creating the belief that your manifestation is unfolding.
Act as if it has already happened. "I AM" is a creative, powerful phrase. If you conduct your behaviour as the person you have already become, you are more energetically aligned with your goal.
Be aware of your internal dialogue. Remember, you are in a constant state of attracting or repulsing what it is that you want to achieve. Your internal dialogue is always creating a point of attraction, along with the emotional reactions it produces. Be congruent!
Allow! You must fully release your vision in order for it to manifest. If you are too attached to it, your need for control can actually stunt the process. Faith and belief in the process are key. It can be helpful to think in terms of being at a restaurant. Once you've placed your order, you have to give it time to be cooked up and served to you!
We are all creators, and we all deserve to live an inspired life. The Law of Attraction is a beautiful tool that enables us to consciously put our creative powers to use! In the words of George Bernard Shaw, "Life isn't about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself."

My Thoughts On "Spiritual Narcissism"
In Brief
- The Facts:
Narcissism, in a nutshell, is self-absorption to the extent that it will adopt any set of rationale to protect the ego which often includes a degree of self-deception. Is this happening to many in spiritual trends?
- Reflect On:
There is authentic being, and then there is self-absorption which pretending to be authenticity, are we aware of the difference?
We humans often have a hard time finding middle ground. We may be drowning in lack of self-worth one moment, and trampling over other's with our own self indulgence the next as we struggle to find balance. Narcissism is not simply about enjoying selfies in our social media-saturated world, it goes deeper than that.
It appears as liberation but is a trap that can ruin relationships, increase personal suffering, and keep a person from their true spiritual aspirations. Not surprisingly, increased mindfulness and compassion for this tricky human quirk is the best way to heal it.
What is Spiritual Narcissism?
The capacity to become overly self-indulgent is within all of us, and it becomes increasingly dangerous when we confuse it with spirituality. In many ways it is easy to see that all of humanity is dealing with a certain degree of self-absorption while we desecrate forests and oceans, causing plants and animals to go extinct on our material quests. In his famous book, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, Chogyam Trungpa gave a good foundation for westerners to navigate the pitfalls of our materialistic abundance.
We do not have to be ashamed of what we are. As sentient beings we have wonderful backgrounds. These backgrounds may not be particularly enlightened or peaceful or intelligent. Nevertheless, we have soil good enough to cultivate; we can plant anything in it. – Chögyam Trungpa, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
There is a difference between ego-self and the deeper universal soul within us, differentiating the two is important. Sadly, we have spiritual philosophies and religions that have been constructed to feed the ego, inflate self-righteousness, and create division while giving justification for all manner of activities including killing, exploitation, and oppression. Ethical conduct, regardless of spirituality, requires honoring the other and the self as one with each deserving to be respected, heard, and seen with compassion.
No matter what the practice or teaching, ego loves to wait in ambush to appropriate spirituality for its own survival and gain. – Chögyam Trungpa, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
Finding the Antidote to Self-absorption
Narcissism, in a nutshell, is self-absorption to the extent that it will adopt any set of rationale to protect the ego which often includes a degree of self-deception. Ego is an important aspect of our selves, it is part of self-preservation but when it becomes out of balance it actually has the ability to destroy us and harm relationships.
Many spiritual practices seek to increase our ability to witness and bring mindful awareness to ego drives which allow us to master, instead of being enslaved by our ego. When ego gets too big it can be hard to swallow, yet spiritual liberation invites us to expand our sense of self beyond the ego, beyond time and space.
The goal is to find a balance between the inner experience and the outer reality. How do we embody healthy self-love without becoming an ego-maniac and hurting personal relationships? Meanwhile, self-loathing, and low self-esteem are also manifestations of ego out of balance. Selflessness can often be quite selfish, over-engagement can be as problematic as disengagement socially. Luckily we are here to find this balance through living fully, from making mistakes, and evolving our sense of self-awareness. Healthy self-awareness is the only antidote to self-absorption.
The Story of Narcissus and Echo
One day Narcissus was walking in the woods when Echo, an Oread (mountain nymph) saw him, fell deeply in love, and followed him. Narcissus sensed he was being followed and shouted "Who's there?". Echo repeated "Who's there?". She eventually revealed her identity and attempted to embrace him. He stepped away and told her to leave him alone. She was heartbroken and spent the rest of her life in lonely glens until nothing but an echo sound remained of her. Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, learned of this story and decided to punish Narcissus. She lured him to a pool where he saw his own reflection. He didn't realize it was only an image and fell in love with it. He eventually recognized that his love could not be reciprocated and committed suicide. -Wikipedia
Since intention is subjective, a person is often understood within their community by their actions or image. This becomes extra tricky in our age of social media and the materialism that has found it's way into yoga, meditation, and spirituality. It is possible to put on a good act, to fool those around us and ourselves (temporarily).
We can have the latest yoga clothes, read the right books and hang out with all the "cool" people, but if our actions are not grounded in a deeper spiritual practice, basic consideration for others, and respect, it is still hollow. A common analogy is the guy who everyone likes but then goes home kicks his dog, or is rude and unaccountable to his wife.
Deep spirituality makes us more sensitive to the feeling of others, encouraging an open stance of courage where we can drop our protective shields and accept the vulnerability to be seen as we are. Narcissistic sensitivity, however, is focused solely on the subtle nuances one's own internality, and resists looking at hard, uncomfortable truths that may upset the self image. One who is narcissistically sensitive is easily offended by the "coarseness" of others, seeks to make his environment change to align with the contours of his needs, and gets angry or offended when this does not happen. -The Allure of Narcissistic Spirituality, Huffington Post
How to Identify Narcissistic Behavior
The ability to identify narcissistic behavior in yourself and others is the best way to heal it. It is not your job to diagnose others or tell them they are narcissistic if they are not interested in hearing it or healing it. However, if you draw appropriate boundaries for them you will protect yourself and encourage them to become more mindful. This is a loving and compassionate way to handle narcissism.
It is always healthy to make boundaries and speak your truth in a loving and compassionate way. Whether the narcissist hears it or not is out of your control. Common responses from narcissists will include belittling your feelings, a hollow apology without effort to modify behavior, or ignoring you altogether. Basically, they will use any excuse they can in order to not look at it, or to make the situation your fault. This is your cue to make appropriate boundaries for yourself.
Within yourself be open and receptive when others tell you that you have been inconsiderate of them. Accepting constructive feedback from loved ones is a great way to keep a balance between internal needs and external relationships. This is also how we grow as individuals.
Common traits of narcissism courtesy of BPD Central.
- Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
- Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
- Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
- Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
- Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
- Requires excessive admiration
- Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
- Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
- Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Evolving Unhealthy Patterns
Hopefully, this will help you navigate tough interpersonal relationships and also better yourself. It is a beautiful thing that psychology is allowing us to have terms to identify and evolve unhealthy patterns emotionally. As we learn to live in community, we learn many aspects of love. This is how we help ourselves and those around us grow!

New Moon In Libra: Seeking Balance
We are having a New Moon in Libra on October 16th throughout most of the world and in the morning of the 17th in the East. This is initiating a 29.5 day lunar cycle and new wave of energy for the coming month; however, the astrological configurations mentioned in this article will be more prominent over the following two weeks. This cycle will include a Full Moon in Taurus on October 31st/November 1st.
This New Moon occurs days after we have reached the halfway point of Mars' retrograde in Aries which concludes mid-November. It is also days after Mercury began its retrograde which is currently in Scorpio and moving backwards into Libra before it moves forward again post November 3rd. Both of these planets being retrograde at the same time reflects a period of significant adjustments pertaining to how we express these planets, the signs they are in, and how they are configured to our individual astrological blueprints (natal chart).
Generally Mars retrogrades are a period in which the circumstances, developments, and our inner guidance is helping to facilitate a shift in how we apply ourselves and take action in specific areas of our lives. This is something that happens approximately every two years, which is less frequent and usually more significant than Mercury's retrogrades. I wrote separate articles for each of them, you can read more about Mars Retrograde here and Mercury Retrograde here.
Libra season began on September 22nd/23rd, just over three weeks prior to this Lunation, and will end on October 22nd/23rd when Scorpio season begins. However, this New Moon (along with other planets) will still carry some of its Libra themes into the first week of Scorpio season prior to the Full Moon.
This is a good period of working with and co-creating with the energies of this sign. As an Air sign, Libra is socially and mentally oriented. Ruled by Venus, it is associated with relating, relationships, charm, harmony, compromising, art, creativity, and aesthetics. There is a big focus on others. Libra is also diplomatic as it seeks to find balance, equality, fairness, and common ground.
Negatively, Libra can be overly codependent, passive aggressive, superficial, insincere, indecisive, vain, and judgemental. Although this sign is about politeness and harmony, retaliation can be triggered when imbalance and unfairness is perceived. Libra is also associated with people-pleasing which can have either positive or negative implications.
New Moon Aligned With Spica, In A Hard T-Square Pattern
This New Moon has an interesting mix of energies. It is tightly aligned with the fixed star Spica which is known to be the most benefic and fortunate star. However, it can be tricky to interpret how a star's energy can manifest, especially in this case considering other astrological factors that are quite different.
Like Libra, Spica is connected to art and creativity, but also has spiritual, scientific, and inventive qualities. It is associated with harvest season and represents the 'gifts of harvest', both metaphorically and literally. However, it can also reflect unfruitfulness (depending on other variables) and injustice to innocence according to legendary astrologer Vivian Robson.
This New Moon is opposite Mars Retrograde in Aries which are both in a T-square with Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn. The Sun has been in an opposition with Mars in the week before this New Moon (peaking on the 13th/14th) which has been a significant part of the Mars retrograde process in influencing how we assert ourselves.
However, this energy is also configured into this New Moon and can play out as conflicts (internally or externally with others), impulsiveness, aggression, anger, competitiveness, or sexual tension. Mars in Aries wants to assert individuality, ego, personal needs, and self identity while the New Moon in Libra is looking for consideration, common ground, diplomacy, equality, and fairness.
This opposition in a square to Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn can reflect power struggles, obstacles, and issues pertaining to beliefs, opinions, and perspectives. Saturn has the most power as it is strongly placed in its home sign (ruling Jupiter and Pluto) as the Sun and Moon are also moving towards a square (strong on the 18th/19th) with it while separating from the aspects to the other planets in this configuration. This calls for a need to be realistic, cautious, practical, disciplined, structured, or orderly. The combination of this and all the retrograde energy can call for some sort of refinement.
Venus Opposing Neptune, Trine Planets In Capricorn, and Square The Lunar Nodes
The ruler of this New Moon, Venus, has been in Virgo in the previous two weeks and will be there until October 27th/28th. Venus ruled areas of values, love, relationships, friends, social life, pleasures, money, aesthetics, beauty, art, taste, sensuality, desires, and attractiveness can be expressed in ways that are practical, conscientious, discerning, picky, detailed, organized, analytical, health oriented, productive, efficient, adaptable, or fault finding/surfacing.
At the time of this New Moon, Venus is moving towards an opposition to Neptune and trine to Jupiter which have been in a sextile over the previous weeks. This energy is strong from October 18th-19th and can be good for creative or artistic efforts as well as social interactions that have spiritual, compassionate, broad, or philosophical themes. It can also reflect expansiveness, growth, morals, optimism, idealism, along with confusion, deception, escapism, and delusion affecting Venus areas of life (as mentioned in above paragraph).
Mars retrograde will also be in a square with Jupiter at that time which could also reflect conflicts around beliefs, opinions, and judgements. Excessiveness, overconfidence, and spreading ourselves out too much can also play out. Mercury retrograde will be moving towards an opposition to Uranus (peaks 19th/20th) which can make it harder to focus and can bring disruption, changes to plans, and perhaps communication problems.
Venus approaches a square to the Lunar Nodes on October 20th/21st. We may be reflecting on the past and future, or perhaps at a crossroads, when it comes to relationships and values. Venus is then in a trine with Pluto (October 21st/22nd) which can bring an empowering, deep, intense, or insightful energy to things associated with Venus. Following this, it moves to a trine with Saturn (October 24th/25th) which can have a committing, strengthening, supportive, responsible, practical, or stabilizing effect on these areas.
Making Intentions & Things To Consider
What can you do to improve how you relate with others? Is there a need to compromise, find common ground, or achieve fairness and equality? What has come up for you in the week leading up to this New Moon? Should you change the way you assert your needs or individuality? Are circumstances in your life pushing you to think differently about something? What can you learn from any obstacles that have been coming up in your life? Is there anything that needs to be restrained?
These are just some examples of what to consider or focus your intentions on at this time. However, it is good to reflect on anything else that is coming up for you. It is generally best to make any intentions within the first 24 hours following a New Moon. The exact moment it will occur is 7:31pm Universal Time on October 16th. You can click here to see what that is in your time zone.

Learn more tips on how fathers can share stories about their family history with their children to help them to value both their heritage and who they are as individuals. With our NRFC Spotlight on Dads Forever Family: Ancestors Who Shaped Our Lives, available in English and Spanish.
Knowing their family's history can be a source of strength for your kids. Research has found that kids who know more about their parents' and their ancestors' lives are more resilient. Sharing the family's history, including traditions, also encourages bonding.
The holiday season is the perfect opportunity to explore your family history with your kids and to create new memories for future generations. Here are some suggestions:
- Storytelling - Because holidays bring families together, this is a great time to ask everyone to share stories from their childhood. While positive and funny memories are always the best, don't shy away from talking about the tough times. When children learn about how their ancestors bounced back from difficulty, it helps them feel more confident about facing their own challenges.
- Photo albums - Gather your children and pull out those family photo albums. As you go through it, share stories and memories about the people in the pictures. Now is a great time to print and add some new pictures from the past year.
- Decorations - Decorating together can give kids a sense of belonging and a deeper connection to the holiday. Whether it's cleaning up, hanging lights, stringing popcorn, or making ornaments, help kids find a way to be part of the process. If you have decorations or ornaments that are special to your family share the story behind those items with your kids. Add your child's name, age, and the year on the back of special ornaments and decorations you create together. This makes them a part of your family's history! It will be fun to unpack them every year and remember the fun time you had making them.
- Traditions - Nothing makes a family feel more like a family then having its own traditions. You can create new traditions or enact old ones. Share with kids the history behind old traditions and what you love about creating new ones with them. Don't be afraid of being silly, sometimes the silliest traditions are the most beloved. After all, it's the traditions, not the gifts, that your kids will remember when they grow up.
Family Day is a national initiative created by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse to promote simple acts of parental engagement as key ways to help prevent risky substance use in children and teens. Learn more about CASA Family Day on their website.

So soon enough, you will be hearing a lot about the joint interview with tech legends–Microsoft's Bill Gates and Apple's Steve Jobs–that Walt and I will be doing exactly a week from tonight at our D: All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif. (You can read Dow Jones's press release on the May 30 event here.)
We've certainly got a lot of important questions to ask this pair, who really are the twin icons of the digital revolution and key players in its evolution. They also have had a dramatic professional relationship and, just as often, rivalry.
Given the long history of cooperation and competition they have shared, that they have agreed to show up to be interviewed together should make for great high-tech theater.
After next week, Gates will have been onstage at all five D conferences and Jobs will have been four times (he will also appear in a solo interview earlier in the day next Wednesday).
This site will have all sorts of coverage, from live blogs to photos to video excerpts of the whole event (more on that later).
But in the spirit of user-generated content (we mainstream-media types are fast learners), I will be going around all this week with my little video camera and asking well-known tech types and also average folks–good thing I live in San Francisco, where there is a large concentration of geeks–what they would ask the pair if they could.
Starting tomorrow, I will post the video queries, but you can also add questions in the comments section below. Until then, here are three photos by Asa Mathat of the duo at our third D in 2005 at dinner, sharing obviously amusing tales (I would love to know about what), and three more yukking it up with another tech icon, Mitch Kapor.

Terrence Malick's TO THE WONDER is ambitious, occasionally inspired and often interesting, but there is just no way to call it a good movie. Yet he is one of the greatest directors in the world, the best American film director living, in my opinion. You can read my review of TO THE WONDER here.
Hey, it happens. And it's not a bad thing that it happens. Artists take chances, and it's only by going out on a limb that you can come back with something that no one has ever done before.
Above we take a look at some directors at their best and worst — in some cases, it's quite an enormous range.
And take a look at the reviews of the other movies opening this week at sfchronicle.com:

[ Copied from a github post here. ]
TL;DR: If you want to use the UART console during booting on a Pi3 then you need to add `enable_uart=1` to config.txt. Also, you can use the normal UART pins for other functions without pinctrl getting in the way.
A new firmware package has been released to both rpi-update branches - master and next. In time it will roll out to apt-get upgrade and a full Raspbian release. It includes the following key changes:
1. The automatic UART initialisation should work on all RPis, whether or not the loaded kernel/U-Boot is DT-capable. The choice of UART to initialise is controlled by the "serial<n>" aliases in the DTB, as set by the pi3-miniuart-bt and pi3-disable-bt overlays, but the default is the mini-UART on Pi3 and PL011 on other models. Note that if a custom dt-blob is in use that remaps pins 14 & 15 to something other than TXD0/RXD0 (even on a Pi3 - don't hard-code TXD1/RXD1) then the pin function is left unchanged to allow, for example, the VGA666 interface to be used.
2. A new config.txt setting has been introduced - "enable_uart" - the purpose of which is to control the initialisation of the UART(*). The default value varies according to the primary UART on the platform - if the PL011 is the primary UART (that used for the console and boot messages) then enable_uart defaults to 1, and if the mini-UART is the primary then it defaults to 0.
The reason for the additional setting is that making use of the mini-UART requires the core frequency to be fixed, so setting enable_uart will limit the core to the minimum (unless force_turbo is set, since that will fix the core frequency to the maximum, provided the Pi is adequately powered and cooled). The previous default behaviour, which rendered much of the output illegible, was not useful, but we didn't want to restrict all users (even those who don't care about the UART) to the minimum core frequency. We also wanted to be able to remove the restriction when the PL011 is chosen on a Pi3, hence the need for a dedicated setting indicating the _reason_ for the frequency limit.
3. Now that the firmware initialises either UART as needed, it is no longer necessary to claim the UART pins (GPIOs 14 & 15) using pinctrl, so the base per-platform DTBs no longer do this. This makes it easy to use an overlay to change the pin functions without first having to change the pins claimed by one of the two UARTs.
(*) Failing to configure a UART can lead to a lock-up due to polling indefinitely for some operation to complete. Instead, always initialise the UART, but leave the pins set to be inputs (unless overridden by a custom dt-blob.bin).

JavaScript Working Group
From Joomla! Documentation
The JavaScript Working Group is a Production Working Group. It is responsible for establishing standards for JavaScript and seeing that the JavaScript and/or JS frameworks are integrated and maintained.
- 1 Coordinators & PLT Contact
- 2 Announcements
- 3 External resources
- 4 Deliverables
- 5 Technical Work produced by this group
- 6 Communications
- 7 Roadmap
- 8 Meetings
Coordinators & PLT Contact
- The coordinator for this working group is Joe LeBlanc.
- The PLT Contact for this working group is Andy Tarr.
- There is now a JavaScript GitHub group: https://github.com/Joomla-JavaScript
- Much of our work overlaps with JUX. Join here as well: http://ux.joomla.org/
- For now, communication will occur on the Joomla CMS Development Google Group: https://groups.google.com/group/joomla-dev-cms If we end up needing more space, we may create a separate group in the future.

Loads of beautiful JavaScript!
Technical Work produced by this group
Primary communication will occur on the Joomla CMS Development list. The JUX site will also be used for specific tasking and discussion.
Ultimate Goal
Make Joomla an enjoyable and preferable tool for JavaScript programmers to use.
Intermediate Goals
- Come up with JavaScript coding standards for the Joomla project, based on existing ones
- Integrate jQuery with noConflict mode enabled by default
- Replace frontend MooTools dependencies with jQuery code
- Add JavaScript library management and CDNs
- Replace code that interpolates JavaScript and PHP
- Unit test JavaScript in Joomla
jQuery Integration Plan
The overall goal for integrating jQuery is to maintain backwards compatibility in a predictable fashion, while having a plan for upgrading as newer versions come out. While jQuery has broken backwards compatibility in the 1.x series, it always happens with minor releases and not patch releases. They are planning on removing things in 2.0 while deprecating them now: http://blog.jquery.com/2011/11/22/call-for-jquery-1-8-ideas/
For Joomla, the general policy should be to stay with a specific minor release of jQuery for a specific minor release of Joomla. That is, if jQuery 1.7.x is still current, Joomla 3.0 will adopt it. If jQuery 1.8 comes out before Joomla 3.1 is released, Joomla 3.0 will continue to stay on the 1.7.x branch of jQuery. If Joomla 3.0.1 ships with jQuery 1.7.2 and then jQuery 1.7.3 comes out, 1.7.3 would be rolled into Joomla 3.0.1 after testing core functionality.
Rare exceptions to the general policy could be made in the event of a security issue or some other such pressing need.
J! and Beyond 2012
Managing jQuery noConflict, potential solutions:
- add at the end of jQuery javascript file
- load no_conflict.js
- patch submitted by Beat: pre/post JavaScript
- clean up library manager plugin
- JSLint - add to the unit tests
- JavaScript compression
- Stop writing JavaScript in PHP!
- Idea: module parameters for adding CSS and JavaScript (rather than adding it in the HTML body)
- Ordering: Ability to add a declaration before or after
- Browser Caching - ?#342384623749873 <--- cache bust
- Joomla Caching - addScriptDeclaration: doesn't cache properly.
- Different behavior in modules vs. components
Where to load JavaScript?
- Add JavaScript at the END of the document.
- OR: use defer for asynchronous loading.
Possibility: add code on the client side to detect whether libraries are loaded.
- Would need to document
- Or: Joomla.library('nameoflibrary', '1.0', 'libraryurl');
- Just use Require.js (or don't, it's madness, has ordering issues because it's asynchronous)
- Just use the plugin Joe authored. Or the patch Beat submitted.
- writing inline JavaScript! (causes "flashes") (although Geraint disagrees (and so does Peter (and Danielle)))
- Don't code onClick events directly into markup! Use stopPropagation.
- Geraint brings up a good point: maybe you need to do something before DOMready... but it's on the level of eval()
- Optimize: We're currently loading everything.
- As long as we're still using it, use it modularly, the way it was intended.
- Might have to be done server side.
- Look at LABjs.
Follow up
- Start a GitHub branch
- Start a Google Group - or do it on the CMS list.
- Sort out 2.5 issues from 3.0 features
- Look at replacing frontend MooTools
- Get email addresses

Motion Graphics, the solo project of NY based electronic artist Joe Williams, makes its Domino debut and official first release later this summer with a self-titled LP. Operating between NY, Baltimore & LA, Williams, a prolific producer, musician, and collaborating force, serves as a core member of Future Times' Maxmillion Dunbar's ongoing Lifted ensemble, first released last year on PAN. Williams' contributions can be heard on Baltimore based CoLa's Moody Coup LP and Williams' original score for 12 O'Clock Boys, a dynamic feature-length documentary on the notorious dirt bike riders of Baltimore's Westside. Original Motion Graphics productions have also surfaced in his mixes for DIS Magazine and NTS Radio.
Motion Graphics' first album, comprised of ten widescreen digital compositions, covers vast sonic ground while referencing Williams' manifold influences which span the likes of '80s-era Japanese techno-pop and the jazz sounds of ECM Records, to the audio effects of contemporary menu systems and the ambient foley that decorates today's auditory landscape. "Interface sounds, notifications from devices, or even the sound of household appliances—this is the ambient music that we live with," Williams explains, "and I see this conversation happening between these sounds and what are considered more 'musical' sounds. These everyday, quotidian sounds are really characteristic of our time, and to me, in many ways are much more informative to popular music."
With the inception of Motion Graphics, Williams set out to make a techno-pop record, of the sort Ryuichi Sakamoto's Yellow Magic Orchestra or Kraftwerk had made in their time. However, Williams was not interested in simply emulating the sounds of those classic groups, but rather, like those groups, he aimed to make music that would reflect the technological realities of his time. Kraftwerk had the Autobahn and the birth of computing; YMO embraced the innovations of the Japanese product market with Walkmans and the rise of the video game console; Motion Graphics has the oblique rhythm of the Twitter timeline and the alert sounds from the menu systems of touchscreen devices. Bringing this idea full circle, Williams' freelances as a UX/UI sound designer for a device developed by a prominent tech startup.
Equal parts instrumental and vocal, Motion Graphics spans 30 minutes, embracing and exaggerating the capabilities of modern-day technology within its creative process. Using software instruments intended to replicate orchestras for film and television, Williams pushes uncannily realistic woodwinds and strings beyond the capabilities of a human performer. "I'm using software instruments that are marketed as hyper-realistic, or as realistic as you can get with current technology, but I'm sequencing them faster than someone's understanding of these instruments would be used to hearing," he explains. "Not just in terms of speed, but patterning too—using arpeggiators and manipulating the rate of notes to the point where it blurs the listeners expectations and makes it unclear how someone, or even a group of musicians, could in reality perform these patterns." A technique heard across the album, this sequencing of woodwinds at impossible speeds appears in full focus on a forthcoming Motion Graphics 7", released later this summer on Future Times, and which Pitchfork's Philip Sherburne recently described as a piece of music akin to "an ambient, zero-gravity rendition of Philip Glass' intricate clockworks."
Using Max for Live, Williams also pieced together custom software, including an instrument that "scrolls" randomly through a bank of sounds. "If you look at the Twitter timeline, you find vastly different perspectives between a string of tweets," Williams explains of the instrument's inspiration. "It could start with something ordinary, such as a tweet about today's weather forecast, and then below that a tweet about a war overseas, followed by an advertisement above a tweet from a comedian, perhaps. And as the media stacks together, there is an almost dream-like stream of consciousness quality to it. At a basic level, that is the way this scrolling instrument behaves: it literally scrolls through a bank of samples arbitrarily, in part mimicking the total randomness we experience when scrolling through the Twitter timeline or other aggregated news feeds."
These are just a few ways that Williams endeavored to "make music that relates to the time that we're in," reflecting back fragments of the attention economy, the constant pop-ups, the unsolicited digital interruptions, and the streams of Buzzfeed journalism that pervade our digital lives. Beyond these meditations on the world's technological state, Motion Graphics is ultimately a compelling collection of richly detailed electronic compositions. At times frantic and scattered, at others, sparse and gentle or colorfly free-flowing, Motion Graphics is an ambitious debut from an artist adept at manipulating the sounds and digital tools ubiquitous to the everyday, revealing the music below the surface that so often goes unnoticed.

If you've never tried acting, our play reading events are a great place to start. It's essentially off-stage acting. Depending on the number of characters in the chosen play, it may be that you have the chance to read for several characters. A great chance to test your versatility. Play reading events are also a great opportunity for us to assess a play as a potential future production. You can choose to read a part or just sit and listen. We usually hang around for a chat afterwards.

Two entertainment icons, J.J. Abrams and Edgar Wright, are teaming up for a mysterious science fiction movie called Collider. Could this be our first big Hollywood picture about the Large Hadron Collider? And is it the same as the God Particle project that Abrams was linked to recently?
Not much is known about this secret movie, besides the fact that it is based on an original idea by Wright. But Deadline is reporting that Wright will direct, screenwriter Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) will write the script (along with Wright), and J.J. Abrams will produce. That's enough firepower to make this a fascinating project right off the bat.
What does this mean for Ant-Man? Nothing yet, since Marvel still hasn't set a date for that picture. Meanwhile, Abrams is finishing up Star Trek 2 — so it's really anyone's guess when he'll have time to work on this. But based on the speed with which Abrams starts and finishes movies, we're betting this Bad Robot picture hits the big screen long before anything Ant-Man-related. But first, Wright has to shoot The World's End, his collaboration with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost which was recently greenlit.

What is EGNOS?
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) is the first pan-European satellite navigation system. It augments the US GPS satellite navigation system and makes it suitable for safety critical applications such as flying aircraft or navigating ships through narrow channels.
Consisting of three geostationary satellites and a network of ground stations, EGNOS achieves its aim by transmitting a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy of the positioning signals sent out by GPS. It allows users in Europe and beyond to determine their position to within 1.5 metres.
EGNOS is a joint project of ESA, the European Commission and Eurocontrol, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. It is Europe's first activity in the field of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and is a precursor to Galileo, the full global satellite navigation system under development in Europe.
After the successful completion of its development, ownership of EGNOS was transferred to the European Commission on 1 April 2009. EGNOS operations are now managed by the European Commission through a contract with an operator based in France, the European Satellite Services Provider.
The EGNOS Open Service has been available since 1 October 2009. EGNOS positioning data are freely available in Europe through satellite signals to anyone equipped with an EGNOS-enabled GPS receiver.
The EGNOS Safety of Live service has been officially declared available for aviation on 02 March 2011. Space-based navigation signals have become usable for the safety-critical task of guiding aircraft - vertically as well as horizontally - during landing approaches.
