Quick, mobile, and adept at operating in zero gravity environments, rocketjocks can handle nearly any situation when aboard a spacecraft. Rocketjocks can repair or disable most technological devices they encounter and are even able to craft some of their own gear. They often make their living as bounty-hunters, crack pilots, or aerial troopers.
Prerequisites: This archetype can only be taken by a mechanic, and the listed alternative class features only replace mechanic class features.
4th-Level Alternative Class Feature
Swift Charge (Ex): At 4th level, as a full-round action, the rocketjock can fashion a makeshift battery with simple metals. It requires 50 credits worth of metals, but the rocketjock does not require a production lab or any tools to craft the battery. He can also insert or eject a battery as a swift action.
6th-Level Alternative Class Feature
Rocket-Pack (Ex): At 6th level, the rocketjock constructs their very own rocket-pack. The rocket pack functions much like a jetpack. It weighs 15 lbs. and has a charge capacity of 100. Just like a standard jetpack, it requires charges to function. The rocket-pack is custom designed for the rocketjock who built it and it cannot be made to function for another user.
Upon reaching 10th level, the rocket-jock can operate his rocket-pack as if its maneuverability rating was one level better. Its maneuverability rating increases by one for every 5 levels beyond 10th.

So… it's been a while. But I'm back! Kind of. Struggling to find time to maintain the blog as much as a I would like, but I am still writing! There are few secret, exciting projects come along, the first of which I can reveal to you here:
It's a novella!
It's called Biter!
It's got a creepy kid on the cover!
This is a gritty, "real world" take on the vampire story. The protagonist is an 11 year-old problem child, rapidly running out of schools to be kicked out of, with a thirst for fighting and an abusive step-father. The antagonist is his new classmate, a boy who calls himself Kostek but is far more (or less, if you like) than he seems.
Biter is now available for sale from:

Expand Your Business Using QR Codes
QR codes are the latest mantra in business marketing. If you've been wondering how these codes can help you expand your marketing campaign reach out to new consumers, you need to first know what these codes are.
QR code stands for Quick Response code, which is basically a two-dimensional barcode. QR codes can contain a lot more important information than your one-dimensional barcode can. All you need to do to read a QR code is to use your smartphone to scan the code. Your smartphone must have a barcode scanner app to do this.
QR codes can be used to link consumers to the URL you desire, including your landing page or your social media website. Once a potential consumer has come across your QR code, and scanned the QR code using his smartphone, he's able to access your mobile website, your social media page and other URLs.
How does inserting QR codes into all of your public marketing materials help your campaign? You can link potential consumers who have scanned your QR Code to potentially important information including product images and videos, mobile coupons or landing pages that induce consumers to buy your product. You can even track how much traffic a particular product receives via print advertisements by assigning specific URLs to QR codes in print advertisements
QR codes are like a business card that includes all your personal information, including your business name, website URL, blogs, and social media properties. All a customer has to do to add you to his Contacts is to scan your QR code.
A QR code can help connect customers to all your social media properties, including your LinkedIn and Facebook pages and your Twitter account. Customers can access these accounts by scanning the QR code on your print advertisements, flyers, and direct mail. You can even add your QR code to your e-mail signature.
Many companies are now adding QR codes to their product packaging to help link customers to their favorite products. Your QR codes can also be linked to Customer Service phone numbers, and other related information.
You can also customize the QR code to tie in with specific events or services. Say, for instance, your company is planning a sale or is launching a promotional event like a rock concert in order to promote a product. Your QR code in advertisements and flyers can link to a Google map, and an RSVP page that customers need to attend the event.

The nicest Sepaq park in terms of scenery (out of the 9 we have visited so far), located in the Laurentian Mountains, 50km north from Quebec City. This post is about our 4km loop winter walk "Les Cascades", a relatively simple walk for families (difference in altitude about 40m). The walk is beside a stream (mostly frozen in the winter) and inside a forest, reaching a viewpoint of the Sautauriski mountain. The first part of the walk is along the Jacques Cartier River, starting at the Sepaq discovery and visitor centre (at km 10).
Address: 103 Chemin du Parc-National, Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, G3C 2T5, QC
Region: Capitale Nationale
Drive: about 45 minutes north from Quebec City, 3h10 north-east from Montreal
Opening time: all year round, check the website for exact hours (as it changes according to the season)
Entry fee: Sepaq fees (check website for more details)
Free parking
Boutique shop: gear rental and some snacks are available
Gear rental: the park is offering amazing gear to rent such as snowshoes (for adults and children), fat bikes, walking pole, baby-carrier sleds and baby-carrier.
Not suitable for a baby stroller
Sepaq – Parc National de la Jacques Cartier
The park is arranged by several departure points, this trail is at departure point km 10 (The discovery and visitor centre). Once you reach the park, you will need to pay the entry fee at the booth, then continue driving until the centre (10km drive).
The centre is offering consultation and maps for different trails, information about the condition of the trails and gear rental. Leave the building and head left to start the trail.
The centre is next to the river (mostly frozen in the winter), you will need to cross the bridge towards the mountain range on the left.
Clear indications will show you how to proceed when the trail departs from other trails around.
First small viewpoint is nearby the river, cutting from the forest towards the frozen water:
The trail will then branch out, head left to walk along the frozen stream:
Once you pass this bridge, the trail will go uphill for some time, reaching the nice viewpoint:
Most of the walk is then going downhill back towards the visitor centre:
As this trail is a loop, you will reach the main path you took in the beginning, now heading back to the visitor centre.
Relaxing at the visitor centre after the walk, there is a nice kids corner with reading and colouring books.
If you are looking for more family activities in this park, it is worth checking the kicksled rental and the sledding hill with tubes.

The Ethics of Individuation, the Individuation of Ethics
Murray Stein, Ph.D.
Jungwas fond, as we know from many reports of his students, of the rain-maker storytold by Richard Wilhelm in a lecture at the Psychological Club of Zurich in theearly 1920's. The story, as retold by Jung in a seminar, has it that inWilhelm's city, Qingdao, on the northern coast of China, there had been a longdry spell and all the crops were failing for lack of rain. The people werefacing starvation. In desperation, they performed the religious rites theyknew: the "Catholics made processions, the Protestants made prayers, and theChinese burned joss-sticks and shot off guns to frighten away the demons of thedrought, but with no result. Finally the Chinese said, 'We will fetch therain-maker.'" So they sent a message to another part of the country asking forhis services. Eventually a "dried up old man appeared. The only thing he askedfor was a quiet little house somewhere, and there he locked himself in forthree days. On the fourth day the clouds gathered and there was a greatsnow-storm at the time of the year when no snow was expected, an unusualamount, and the town was so full of rumours about the wonderful rain-maker thatWilhelm went to ask the man how he did it." When asked, the old man said: "Icome from another country where things are in order. Here they are out oforder, they are not as they should be in the ordinance of heaven. Therefore thewhole country is not in Tao, and I also am not in the natural order of thingsbecause I am in a disordered country. So I had to wait three days until I wasback in Tao and then naturally the rain came."[1] Itwas quite simple. He put himself in order, and this put his surrounding worldin order. And this brought into play what the community needed to thrive. Junguses this story to illustrate the phenomenon of synchronicity.
Underscoring the magical (i.e., synchronistic) element in Confucianphilosophy, Herbert Fingarette, in his work Confucius – The Secular asSacred, quotes from the Analects of Confucius the following: "Shun,the great sage-ruler, 'merely placed himself gravely and reverently with hisface due South (the ruler's ritual posture); that was all' (i.e., and the affairsof his reign proceeded without flaw). (15:4)." The ritual gesture, in otherwords, resolves issues at the personal, social, and cosmic levels. When theruler is personally in good balance and order, the kingdom will prosper.Fingarette goes on to say: "The magical element always involves great effectsproduced effortlessly, marvelously, with an irresistible power that is itselfintangible, invisible, unmanifest. 'With correct comportment, no commands arenecessary, yet affairs proceed.' (13:6) 'The character of a noble man is likewind, that of ordinary men like grass; when the wind blows the grass must bend'(12:19) 'To govern by te is to be like the North Polar Star; it remainsin place while all the other stars revolve in homage about it.' (2:1)"[2]
The idea here is that the individual(especially the extraordinary individual, for there is a strong element ofelitism in these messages from Confucius) has the capacity to affect societyand the cosmos (for good or ill) because the individual, society, and thecosmos are intimately connected parts of a single unified overarching reality.[3]This implies that personal individuation has a profoundly ethical dimension anddoes not exist in isolation and apart from the greater whole. If an individualachieves harmony at a personal level – that is, finds a way to reconcile thepsyche's warring opposites within and thereby approaches the goal ofindividuation – this brings order and harmony (Tao) as well to the surroundingsocial and natural worlds. Conversely, if an individual promotes splitting,disorder, and chaos at a personal level, this will have a deleterious effect onthe surrounding world. John Donne's famous words, "No man is an island," mustbe kept in mind in any discussion of individuation. Individuation impliesethical behavior in the highest sense, in that it fosters general well-beingfor the community and the natural world, not only for the individual. Withoutthis connection to community and cosmos, individuation could be seen as simplythe pursuit of individual self-interest and fulfillment at the expense of therest of society. It would be a narcissistic self-indulgence and could be thuscalled seriously into question on ethical grounds. In this other understanding,there is no inherent conflict between individuation and ethics. They are twostrands woven tightly around a single central axis, the Self, personal andcollective.
From teachings and stories such as these we could conclude that theindividuation process, which means in its most general sense living inconscious relation to the dynamics of the Self, coincides by happy coincidencewith proper conduct (moral and ethical behavior) in the deepest sense, and thisharmonization of individual and collective needs has beneficial synchronisticeffects in the surrounding world of society and nature. This view places greatresponsibility, as well as awesome power, in the hands of the individual.
At a more immediate level of experience, however, people who strugglewith individuation issues concretely in daily life generally do not see soclearly that there exists such a smooth harmony between their individuationchoices and the moral order. Quite often, in fact, these two areas of concernseem to diverge radically, the one asking for individual choice andresponsibility and the other demanding conformity to social rules and customs.Generally speaking, no individuation process proceeds very far without steppingon or beyond the mores and customs of the collective one lives in. The conformistis not an individuating personality. So does individuation not, then, defymoral standards at certain points? Is there not an inherent conflict betweenthem?
I wish to consider two questions that have to do with the relationbetween individuation and ethics. First, does ethics play a vital and crucialrole in the individuation process as depicted in Analytical Psychology andencountered in analysis? And second, does individuation play a role in theelaboration of ethics? I am assuming that both individuation and ethics areopen and dynamic processes, not static and fixed programs. Individuationunfolds over the course of a person's lifetime and is full of ambiguities,false pathways, and contradictory tendencies. Ethics is not primarily aboutfollowing concrete rules and codes but rather about reflection on action from amoral perspective. Both involve an ongoing human endeavor to incarnate morefully the archetypal Self as it presents itself in a particular time and place,individual or cultural. The interesting thing is to see how they intersect,challenge each other, and ultimately enhance each other.
For psychology, individuation means in the first instance becomingconscious of who and what one is - and is not. It means recognizing one'sdistinctiveness and uniqueness on the one hand (the "I" as center ofconsciousness) and one's deep embeddedness and participation in the universal,archetypal, and generally human order on the other. This is one's selfhood or,said another way, one's "whatness" or "thatness," that is, one's individual"truth." As we know, consciousness of this does not come about as aonce-and-for-all "aha," but rather unfolds unevenly throughout life.Individuation is not a matter of settling on a discrete identity and staying withthat for life. In fact, conscious identity is fluid and changes profoundly asone ages. Individuation attempts to embrace as much as possible of the wholepersonality (the Self), in all of its complexity, and its lived manifestations.One continues to discover new facets of the psyche, personal and collective, aslong as one exists.
This project of making conscious who and what one is as an individual isimpossible without living through a wide and varied range of life experiences.Individuation is not approached, much less arrived at, simply by introspectionand reflection on life-in-general. It comes about through living a specificlife that draws forth many, if not all, of one's potentials as a human being,including shadow potentials, and then reflecting on these experiences anddiscovering in them the features that we name as persona, shadow, anima andanimus, complex, archetypal patterns and images, and so forth.
At every important step of the way along this path of individuationethical questions comes into play. Individuation calls for many decisions, andwhat decision of any importance is free of ethical problems? Questions offairness, justice, adequate object relations, duty to self and others playacross and through every major decision one takes. Sometimes the answers tothese questions are quite straightforward and easily discovered by checking amoral code or by considering conventional rules governing behavior in aspecific society or cultural setting. Since many people have trodden thesepaths before, a body of reflection and conscious deliberation is available. Onecan ask the pastor or the rabbi for advice. In some cases, however, the ruleeither does not apply or does not satisfy the need of individuation.Individuation irrationally (it seems) demands going beyond or outside of theconventional. In order to live one'sauthentic life, one must occasionally strike out on one's own and take personalresponsibility for one's unconventional actions. The pressure for individuationcomes from within, and this movement can and often does come into conflict withwhat the surrounding social milieu advocates or condones. One reaches thispoint typically when one has more or less satisfied social expectations andfound them falling short, unsatisfying, or detrimental to one's fulfillment ofimportant needs and desires. The fit between individual and collective isimperfect at best, and often social norms are too restricting, beside thepoint, or detrimental to health. Here individuation requires breaking suchpatterns and customs and violating cultural or religious proscriptions. Thismay be due to a realization that the culture is out of order and that its rulesand customs seem, if anything, unethical and immoral from another, more individualstandpoint.[4] At any rate, there com3esa moment when an inner demand is not satisfied by conventional patterns ofattitude and behavior. Individuation demands something that society does notoffer freely and without a price.[5]
Individuals typically reach a critical perspective on social custom andmores long before society at large does, and community values lag behindsometimes by decades and generations. Racism and sexism, for example, were (andare still) condoned in many areas of the world, and the individual whoquestions these or forms relationships outside of these norms must be preparedto take a great deal of abusive reaction that is collectively approved andsometimes violently enforced. The upholders of moral standards are notgenerally known for their mercy and understanding.
At this stage of individuation, the moral compass is not an externalone. One cannot consult a book or another person and take their advice.Society, culture, and religion may join forces to oppose a specific movement ina person's individuation process. The problem of orientation and decision nowfalls squarely upon the individual. It is the individual who must takeresponsibility for an answer to the question, "yes or no," without support fromcultural or religious tradition, collective consensus, or generally agreed uponnorms. Even if one agrees with Jung when he writes, "morality as such is auniversal attribute of the human psyche,"[6]this does not mean that the details are covered or that an appeal to moralitywill keep the police at bay. Only the general principle underlying morality –justice – is archetypal, but what to do in concrete cases and how to apply thearchetypal sense of morality are not givens. The case for social justice can beargued in many directions and with many different outcomes. The individual mustdecide on a particular interpretation in a specific case.
Perhaps in moments of crisis like this, one intuits or senses theguidance of a "higher law" or a "daimon" – an archetypal presence based on animage of justice or balance – that offers some perspective or suggestions. Eventhis, however, is often of little assistance in specific cases. One maytherefore easily shrink back and refuse to take a decision indefinitely,sinking into a state of confusion and uncertainty. The moral imperative behindconscience may cry out for an answer, but one cannot reconcile the warringopposites within. One voice says "Yea," the other "Nay," and the result is astalemate.
This is the critical moment that Jung alludes to several times in hislate essay, "A Psychological View of Conscience." He speaks there of "conflictsof duties," when one option cancels out the other and both sides claim thefavor of Kant's Categorical Imperative.[7]While one result may be stalemate and stagnation, a more dangerous possibilitycan emerge instead, that of "possession" by an archetypal power, which promisesa way forward, a "higher road," a "destiny" and absolute certainty. At firstthis looks like a God-given answer to the problem of insoluble conflict: the voxDei[8],an elevated kind of individual conscience, it seems has intervened and offersguidance. One begins to feel that a "higher power" is leading the way, that oneis being directed by an irrational numinous presence that knows the wayforward. Generally this conviction induces radical inflation and leads to blinddisregard for others' views and interests. Other people get treated as meansand their interests are not considered as valuable in and of themselves. Thisis a type of conscience that Jung aptly calls a "wrong" conscience: "besidesthe 'right' kind of conscience there is a 'wrong' one, which exaggerates,perverts, and twists evil into good and good into evil … and it does so withthe same compulsiveness and with the same emotional consequences as the 'right'kind of conscience."[9]Many of the most destructive individuals are firmly convinced in the rightnessof their actions because they are in a state of possession by an archetypalimage or idea that inflates them and draws them and others behind themunwittingly and blindly into the deepest realms of shadowy politics in the nameof a "higher vision". And their destructiveness is backed by "conscience," thatis, by a firm inner conviction of correctness, rightness, and mission[10].One thinks of the dedicated Nazis who believed completely and sincerely in the"ideals" of the Third Reich and in the justice of their racist cause, or of thereligious fundamentalist terrorists in our own time.[11]
This type of "wrong conscience" can easily come into play in the livesof individuals as they endeavor to take seriously their deepest psychologicaltrends and tendencies and seek to individuate. It colludes with the ego's needto defend itself from criticism. When individuation steps out of the collectiveparadigms of convention, it runs the risk of falling into a state of possessionby an archetypal figure that enlists the vox Dei on its behalf. Thisoffers a marvelous rationale against feeling the guilt that inevitably occurswhen one violates social mores and the conventional values of society.Conscience becomes inverted and then arrogantly dismisses the mores andcustoms of society as inferior to one's much "higher" viewpoint.[12]Taken in by this inflation, one feels freed of all external rules and moralcodes, superior to them, beyond their reach, like a Nietzschean superman whohas risen "beyond good and evil." Here a degraded kind of ethical reflection,sponsored by "wrong conscience," is engendered within consciousness and beginsto speak, in the name of the daemonic vision, for an "ethical view" thatsupports the inflated ego.
At this point, ethics has lost its relation to Tao and leads itsadherents on a twisted path into a moral desert. In fact, at this point ethicshas been taken hostage by archetypal possession and becomes a voice for thedemonic god in charge. Now it seems to be one's ethical duty to follow thisgod's injunctions to the bitter end and at any cost. Whether instilled by ademonic social order or by individual identification with an archetypal imageor idea, this amounts to a state of corruption and bondage in which the ego hasno access to the Self. This is a profound state of moral confusion depicted bythe great Gnostic text, The Gospel of Truth, as a nightmare.[13]
The psychological answer to this state of inflation and confusion isfurther individuation. Individuation in its first and decisive movement –separation - demands taking distance from all identities and identifications,be they ever so numinous and convincing. The inflated "mana personality" is notthe individuated human being, even though he usually will pose as such.[14]At such a juncture, the individuation imperative calls for resistance to theidentification that is responsible for inflation and its consequent "wrongconscience"; instead it reaches for more decisive separation, distance, andindependent reflection. Here I can see the rain-maker wisely stepping apartfrom the collective and going into his hut where in solitude he may take stock,achieve some distance, reflect, and reconnect to Tao.
One can say that individuation here speaks for a "higher ethics," for anethical reflection that does not submit to distracting and inflating archetypalpatterns, images, values or ideas, but stands apart and retains the capacity tojudge the gods. Rising above them and beyond them, the Self, as represented inthe idea of Tao and also by mythic figures of supreme detachment and balancelike the Egyptian Goddess Maat and the Greek Goddess Themis, backs this notionof a higher ethics[15].The severe ethics of individuation rises above the moral codex of thecommunity, past adherence to the vox Dei, and beyond all other forms ofidentification with collective voices, politics, rules, images, or religiousconvictions, and reflectively ponders the situation under the protection andauspices of the archetypal and uncontaminated image of Tao (the Self).[16]
This introduces the second great movement of individuation[17]: The integration of (not identification with)a transcendent archetypal image following upon separation from all priordistorting and inflating identities and identifications. It is by this meansthat the rain-maker brings himself into order and harmony with Tao. He separates(goes into a hut at the edge of the village), and there he connects inwardly tothe archetype of unity and order (Tao), not however by identifying himself withit and getting inflated with its numinous power. He brings himself intoalignment with the Tao.
In this double movement of individuation – separation and integration -one can discover also a potential for the further individuation of ethicsitself. By individuation of ethics, I mean the further incarnation of thearchetypal idea of Justice, a transcendent moral order.[18]Since this requires the extension and elaboration of ethical reflection interritories and fields where it has not been considered before, especially withregard to individual situations and differences as well as to novel culturalmovements, experience teaches that this work is best done within communitiesand by people skilled in this kind of reflection. The elaboration of ethics isa fully conscious undertaking, although its initial impetus and deepestgrounding are usually unconscious and archetypal. Practically speaking, it iswell nigh impossible for the involved individual to attain the necessaryobjectivity required for this type of complex ethical reflection. The moralarchetype (Justice), raised to consciousness in community by individuals andbrought into reflection by many people upon unique and new situations, canthereby reach further incarnation in new and specific areas of experience andapplication. This becomes a matter of urgent importance when individual and cultural/socialdevelopments critically outstrip collective consciousness and bring into viewspheres of human activity where ethical considerations and viewpoints have notbeen elaborated yet.
This was the case, for example, with respect to psychoanalysis andpsychotherapy in the early years of the 20th Century, when the kindsof relationship developed within these contexts were new and unfamiliar. Ittook several decades until ethics caught up and elaborated detailed codes ofconduct for therapists that took into the account the nuances and subtleties oftransference and countertransference, areas of psychological sensitivity andvulnerability that had not been considered before. Dual and multiplerelationships had to be noticed and reflected upon from the viewpoint ofanalytic understandings of transference. In recent decades, ethical codes andguidelines have emerged to cover these novel situations, to insure fairtreatment of patients in the sensitive positions they experience duringpsychotherapy.[19]
On a broader social scale in our time, at least in Western cultures, therise and advancement of feminism, consensual and long-term homosexualrelationships, and medical advances (such as those having to do with extensionof life under dire circumstances, assisted pregnancy, genetic engineering,etc.) have engendered profound reflections and debates on ethical issuesinvolved and implied. These reflections are on-going and far from complete. Allrevolve around questions of individuation and responsibility to self andothers, the focal issue being Justice (sometimes stated as Human Rights).Cultural values also play a role, but in the long run they are less decisivethan the archetypal Idea of Justice and the pressure to incarnate it more fullyinto cultural life.
Finally, I will say a few words about synchronicity in relation toindividuation and the phenomenon of conscience, to pick up on the magicalelement mentioned earlier in relation to the rain-maker story. Jung noted, ordiscovered, that a strongly constellated archetypal pattern is oftenaccompanied by synchronistic events. Since the process of individuationtypically brings archetypal energies powerfully into play as it passes throughimportant phases – the stages of transformation – synchronicity accompanies it.When individuation passes beyond the boundaries of social and collective norms,the archetypal factor of conscience is constellated. This may, however, notmake a mark on consciousness. If the voice of conscience (the so-called voxDei) is repressed or simply remains unconscious for some defensive reason,it affects a person unconsciously – dreams, compulsive symptoms, etc.[20] –and can also touch upon psychoid levels and thereby engender psychosomatic andother synchronistic phenomena.[21]On the other hand, if the voice of conscience is registered and deeply feltwithin, conscious reflection can bring Justice to bear in the form of guilt ona psychological level, and this may decrease the probability of synchronicity.In any event, restitution must be made in order for Justice to be satisfied,otherwise psychosomatic and other synchronistic phenomena remain strongcandidates for bringing Justice to bear on the guilty individual.
For people who individuate to an important extent and move out beyondthe fringes of the collective moral code, the penalty is inevitably an amountof guilt on this account. In the end, they may feel compelled to repay societyand the collective an equal benefit for the freedom they have seized to gobeyond its boundaries. They recognize an obligation to give back to others andto the community. Many great charities and foundations have come about throughthis motivation. The people whose individuation have brought them excessivewealth, whether on account of their greed, their brilliant gifts, or theirsimple good fortune, often feel a responsibility to put money back into theservice of humanity. Intimations of Justice demand it.[22]As Jung expresses in a lecture titled "Adaptation, Individuation,Collectivity," the individuating person "must bring forth values which are anequivalent substitute for his absence in the collective personal sphere.Without this production of values, final individuation is immoral."[23]Contributing something of equal value back to the human community serves toresolve the feeling of immorality that often attaches to individuation.
Put in a more positive light, individuation may also contribute to awider state of well-being synchronisitically. By entering consciously into a relation with the archetypal energies ofbalance and order in the Self, like the Chinese rain-maker apparently did,individuals may also touch upon psychoid levels that produce healingpsychosomatic and objective results. Synchronistically, they may engender aprocess that instills order and harmony in the surrounding world. To avoid theenormous power problem and the potential for inflation in this, they arecompelled to say, like the Chinese rain-maker, that they are not responsible.They are doing nothing. The energy just appears and does its own work.
In summary, at many points and stages of individual and collectiveindividuation, the moral codex suffices to guide choices and decisions becausemany people have been in the same territory before and have brought ethicalreflection to bear on the issues involved in individuation. One can learn fromtheir experience and follow suit without harm or damage to individuation. Herethe internalization of moral rules and ethics codes and guidelines suffices tosupport the decisions needed. The specific directives within what Freud calledthe super-ego[24] and Jung wrote of as themoral aspect of conscience (as distinct from the ethical) suffice until onereaches a decision point that produces a "conflict of duties" or demands achoice that contradicts the conventions and rules as stated by society. It iswhen individuation demands going beyond or outside of the received moral codesand ethical wisdom that conscience intervenes and brings about the need forconscious reflection on where the individuation impulse is tending. Thequestion then is: is Justice being served in another sense? Will this violationset things right in another direction and serve a more valuable purpose thansheer conformity would? Often, too, this is precisely where ethics needs toevolve, develop, and take new steps on the way to its own furtherindividuation. In these cases, the ethics of individuation and theindividuation of ethics move forward in tandem, although the lived experienceis difficult, often packed with guilt and anxiety, and fraught with the dangerof inflation. The elaboration of the archetype of Justice, an expression of theSelf, continues as human individuals and cultures evolve, change, and enterinto new and unfamiliar areas.

[3] Plato also portrayed such a state of harmony pertaining amongindividual, society, and cosmos : "An ancient ethical theory like Plato's Republicargued that a just person in a just society should be understood as a personwith a harmoniously structured psyche located in a harmoniously ordered societywhich itself was located in a harmoniously ordered cosmos. The idea thatharmony went all the way down and all the way up gave a sense of purpose – andthus comfort – to human life." (Lear, Freud, p.197)
[4] For an historical instance of this, I refer the reader to ErikErikson's Gandhi's Truth.

[9] Ibid., par. 835.
[10] The great political revolutions of the 18th, 19th, and 20th Centuries offer vividexamples of this sort of excess.
[11] Jung illustrates this point in his essay as follows: "… theprimitive form of conscience is paradoxical: to burn a heretic is on the onehand a pious and meritorious act – as Juhn Hus himself ironically recognizedwhen, bound to the stake, he espied an old woman hobbling towards him with abundle of faggots, and exclaimed, 'O sanct simplicitas!' – and on the otherhand a brutal manifestation of ruthless and savage lust for revenge" (CW10, par. 845).
[12] Jung discusses this in CW 7 under the heading of the "manapersonality."
[13] See my commentary on this text, "The Gnostic Critique, Past andPresent."
[14] See CW 7, para. 378-79.
[15] For a discussion of these figures in relation to conscience, see mybook Solar Conscience/Lunar Conscience.
[16] This is what, I believe, Erich Neumann was seeking to describe inhis brilliant work, Depth Psychology and a New Ethic. He was trying toresolve the problem of Evil by including a reflection on its inner realitywithin the context of individuation, instead of splitting off the shadow,rejecting it, and then projecting it on to others and attacking them.
[17] See Chapter One of my book, The Principle of Individuationfor an account of this double movement.
[18] This is not the place to go into a discussion of the ground ofethics. From a psychological viewpoint, however, it is sufficient to say thatethics is grounded in an archetypal aspect of the psyche. Ethics is not simplya set of rules made up at random by communities for the purpose of producingconformity and securing social structures. Social customs and mores are oftenchallenged by ethical reflection, which bases itself on the intuitions andimages initially offered by the transcendent archetypal Idea of Justice andlater spelled out in more specific rules and norms.
[19] See Hester Solomon's paper, "The ethical attitude in analytictraining and practice," for the best contemporary Jungian statement on thispoint.
[20] Jung opens his essay on conscience with a similar case of repressedconscience and resulting dreams. I once had a patient whose husband wascompelled to make a deathbed confession of his various adulteries because ofnightmares he was having of going to hell and being tortured there for hissins. He was a completely non-religious Jew who nevertheless experienced aCatholic Hell in his nightmares. After his confession, the nightmares stopped.Jung opens his essay on conscience with a similar case of repressed conscienceand resulting dreams.
[21] As an aside, it can be assumed that criminals who are unconsciousof their guilt are likely to constellate the archetype of Justice, which willbring the justice system synchronistically (and aggressively) into their world.The Greeks called this avenging angel Nemesis.
[22] One thinks of the Americans like John D. Rockefeller, AndrewCarnegie, and more recently Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
[23] CW 18, par. 1095.
[24] In Freud's theory, the super-ego is energized by aggressiondirected toward the self and made of contents derived from social rules andcustoms. Its function is to restrict the freedom of the ego and to control therelease of impulses from the id. See Jonathan Lear's Freud, chapterseven ("Morality and religion") for an excellent critical account.

The most important trouble definitely applies to all these gadgets, the question as to whether the function the processor does is worthy of the trouble of washing up all the gear later on in some scenarios the response will be a definite sure, earning dough for instance, but if there is only a tiny volume of mixing included i imagine it much more probably a single will do it by hand. Most aggravating about this machine is the packaging, or additional exclusively the sticker that goes practically all the way round the mixing bowl eradicating this took a lot more than fifteen minutes and a great deal of bother. Maybe soaking it in warm water very first would make it effortless to remove, but i you should not know, anticipating it to just peal off i lifted a single corner and pulled.

My initially machine labored two times just before failing to do just about anything. Now with a alternative the management knob on this a person has improved alignment and won't catch on the decreased portion when bringing the arm down. The handle button feels quite flimsy nevertheless and supplied the flakey mother nature of the 1st a person i am however anxious this will not very last prolonged. Apart from this the unit does the mixing task perfectly if with a good deal of sound and grinding audio which i suppose is from a complex array of gearing inside of. I've not made use of the shake mixer part yet. The unit is quite significant and rather weighty. The sucker pads are performing effectively and required as the unit wobbles about performing my pizza dough.
I have not had a mixer for years so thought i would give it a try and have been pleased with itit is very sturdy , has all the things i need , mixes well , a good idea with the plastic cover saves any messit is a bit noisy but not too much of a problem.
Even though it has not nonetheless had a terrific offer of use it is proving to be a. Even though it has not however experienced a good offer of use it is proving to be a lot easier than mixing by hand and what it has been applied for we have experienced very good effects.

OS updates are big and exciting events these days (we look forward to them too!). Unlike years gone by, where you'd be sporting the same OS for 3-5 years, software manufacturers have become increasingly agile (and competitive), resulting in a flurry of annual releases.
This year alone we've seen Windows 10 Anniversary Update, macOS Sierra, iOS 10 and Android Nougat. I'm not going to lie, I installed every one of these on the day they came out on my personally-owned devices and with some of them, I went as far as to install the preview builds; because with my personally-owned technology, if I can't print my train ticket, edit my photos or watch Netflix then it's not a big issue; I can wait until a fix is released as none of these activities are mission-critical.
But when it comes to university-owned devices it's a different story. We're an organisation that aims to provide security and stability. This extends into each and everyone's software and hardware requirements and a small, innocuous update can cause havoc; resulting in devices being unable to interact or connect to essential university services and leaving you unable to work effectively.
An example of this is our Managed Print Service. The recent macOS Sierra update was incompatible with the drivers needed for print and it took a couple of weeks following release until updated drivers were available. During this time, Macs running macOS Sierra were unable to install the drivers required to print at the University. Another issue we recently saw was with MATLAB. Mathworks made us aware of an issue which caused the corruption of documents which made use of a foreign character set.
Now you might not make heavy-use of the Managed Print Service or use MATLAB and be thinking "why can't I update?". These are only the issues we're currently aware of. There are bound to be many more issues lurking, more incompatibilities to be found. Indeed, every week, on my home computer, I'm still getting updates to software that "improves compatibility with macOS Sierra".
We think it's great that people want to be early adopters and we want to embrace that desire for the latest version but we also want our colleagues to be able to work effectively. For that reason, university-owned Macs may currently not be upgraded to macOS Sierra.
We're not quite there yet but we will soon be accepting sign-ups from Mac users into our Previewers group, giving you the opportunity to download and install new versions of macOS and other software, prior to them being made available for general release. Please get in touch if you would like to sign up.

Happy Tuesday all!
So I'm thinking that maybe yesterday's weigh-in wasn't as bad as it seemed yesterday. I weigh in every Monday with my personal trainer, as you know, but I also weigh in on Tuesday mornings with a group of co-workers for our own little "Biggest Loser" challenge that started at the beginning of the year.
I weighed in this morning at work and the result was that I was down another pound since last week's weigh in. That kind of flies in the face of yesterday's result of going up 0.6 pounds. I'm not sure which is a more correct reading but it does give me the sense that maybe I'm being given a second chance, so to speak, of continuing the weight loss momentum. Diet wise, this week so far has been going well so I think as long as I keep up at this rate I should be in for a good number next week. I hope at least.
Today, I made it 4.25 miles at 7.0MPH on the treadmill. I was aiming for 5 and then started overheating. I probably could have pushed it to make it that last .75 miles but I didn't want to be thrown off the back of the treadmill either. I think my body might be getting used to running a 5K distance and I need to vary the distance of my runs a little more. Or I just plain ran out of gas. One of the two. And I completely forgot to stretch after my run today. 0 for 2!
Tomorrow, it's a return to the bike which I'm actually looking forward. But importantly, tonight is Lost! Enjoy the day!

Delicious meat-free meals
Did you think vegetarian foods tend to be monotonous? Then you'd be wrong! We'd like to convince you otherwise because a diet without meat doesn't necessarily have to be boring. Freshness and diversity are two of the main features of vegetarian cuisine and dining.
Why vegetarian?
Many people are vegetarians and some of them have been for many years. They choose to be vegetarian for many different reasons, yet all of them know that vegetarian cuisine not only provides them with a wide array of culinary delicacies but also health benefits. The higher percentage of grains, vegetables and fruit that vegetarians eat give them high quantities of fibre, vitamins and secondary plant substances. This conscious way of eating involves putting far more thought into the choice of foods they eat. However, people who exclude all meat and fish from their diet have to take certain dietary supplements such as protein, vitamins B12 and D, iron, iodine and omega-3 fatty acids.
Vegetarian all year round
If you buy fresh vegetables, it's best to opt for vegetables from your region. But you have to be aware of when each type of vegetable is in season. Here's a brief overview of seasonal vegetables:
Spring vegetables
There are all kinds of regional and seasonal vegetables available in spring. Asparagus tops the list. These tender stick vegetables are available everywhere from mid-April to the end of June. One thing that many people aren't aware of is that both green and white asparagus also taste delicious raw and grated. Fresh-picked spinach is also available in spring. The green spinach leaves are so delicate at this time of year that you can also eat them raw in salads. In May/June typical vegetables such as carrots, turnip cabbage, radishes and onions come into season.
Summer vegetables
Summer vegetables are very colourful. Juicy red tomatoes, yellow bell peppers and dark purple aubergines are the culinary delicacies in the hot season. Mediterranean cuisine is famous for its many different variations on scrumptious summer vegetables. Whether you grate, fry, grill or stuff them - they all taste delicious with Kikkoman naturally brewed soy sauce.
Autumn vegetables
Roots, tubers and cabbages are typical autumn vegetables. And potatoes are obviously also a must. After all, they're the perfect base for vegetarian soups or hearty autumn soufflés. They go perfectly with onions, leeks and beetroot, which are also in season at this time of year. Finally, the pumpkin is a great autumn side dish and the ideal ingredient for a warming creamy soup.
Winter vegetables
Cabbages are also winter vegetables and winter shopping lists should include sprouts, green cabbage, Chinese leaves and white cabbage. But you don't always have to make traditional stews with them. Naturally brewed soy sauce is the perfect addition to unconventional dishes such as green cabbage curry or sprout antipasti. Some of the less familiar winter vegetables include turnip, parsnip, parsley root and black salsify, which is also known as winter asparagus.
Vegetarian facts
Vegetarianism dates back to the philosopher Pythagoras (approx. 570 - 510 B.C.). According to his teachings, people should exclusively or predominantly eat foods of plant origin. There are different kinds of vegetarians.
Ovo-lacto vegetarians supplement their predominantly vegetarian diet with eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat and fish. People who consume eggs, but not dairy products are called ovo-vegetarians. And people who eat dairy products but not eggs are known as lacto-vegetarians.
Pesci-vegetarians (also known as ovo-lacto-pesci vegetarians) don't eat meat, but they do eat fish and all other foods of animal origin.
Vegans avoid all animal products, including eggs, dairy products, fish and honey. They also generally don't wear shoes or clothing made of leather.
Fruitarians follow a diet that includes fruits, nuts and seeds, without animal products, vegetables and grains which would involve plants being damaged during harvesting to obtain them.

The laws of most countries contain different rules, applicable to the procedure of companies' liquidation – either voluntary or compulsory.
There are plenty of examples and cases when business owners simply forget or leave their companies which are no longer required, thus wanting to save time and money on the formalities related to the official liquidation / closure of such company in Dubai, UAE. In such cases, the required procedures of closure / liquidation of the company are not made in time or totally fail to be completed. The owners of such companies expect that the company will first be deleted from the companies registry for non-payment of annual fees, and, as a result, would lead to the automatic closure of the company in the UAE, and after a while will be completely liquidated.
But such type of solution is improper in its nature and can be quite dangerous. Why? First, in most countries, including Dubai and all other Emirates of the UAE, at the time of deleting of the company from the register, the liability of shareholders and directors of the company still remain in full power as the company has not followed the process to be closed. The assets of the company, including bank accounts, if they have not been moved out from the company, would become inaccessible due to the dissolution of the company.
In this case, if it becomes necessary to re-establish / reopen such company in Dubai, it can be very difficult or almost impossible.
In addition, as was mentioned above, the directors of such companies are liable for existing debts and liabilities of the company since it did not proceed with the procedure to close / dissolve, and such liability remains for a long period of time.
According to the examples above, a company in the UAE may cease to exist due to non-payment of annual fees and, as a result, this may lead to negative consequences which can even result the Dubai entry ban of the company shareholders or directors for a long period of time.
At the same time, in order not to face the problems above, you can get in touch with professional companies that specialize in closure / liquidation of companies in the UAE strictly in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations. Such company would execute the whole procedure to dissolve the company in Dubai or any other Emirate of the UAE and at the end of liquidation process would provide the official company closure certificate – Company's Dissolution Certificate.
Let's briefly see an example of core steps on how the liquidation / closure of the company in, for example, the Free Trade Zone of Ras Al Khaimah looks like and what shall be done in company owner decided to close the company in UAE.
If, during the liquidation of the company in the UAE, there are any assets, it is recommended to transfer such assets to its shareholders or to transfer such to the third parties.
Next, the board of directors and shareholders must prepare the resolution to liquidate the company and appoint the liquidator to approve the closure procedure of the company in the Emirates. Dissolution and liquidation of the company in the UAE can be done by empowered persons whereby such empowered persons must be duly empowered by all shareholders. In this case, the liquidators must approve the order of action of the company's liquidation – send confirmation that the company has no assets or any obligations.
Then then next step to be followed to close the UAE company is publishing in the local press of the notice on the beginning of the liquidation process.
Then there are a couple of other steps to be followed to fulfill the requirements for company liquidation. Their scope and nature depends on the type of company and the type of its activity. As an example, retail companies may be required to obtain confirmation letter from the UAE customs of not having any debts or outstanding customs payments.
Another important point – if dissolution of onshore company in Dubai was not carried out as required, and the shareholders and directors simply leave the company without the renewal, and after 2-3 years are going to enter the country on a tourist visa in the UAE, the entry to the country can be banned. To address this situation, the client will have to pay all the debts of the company for the entire period of time, even if he was not staying in the UAE and did not conduct any activities over such abandoned company. Accordingly, only the full payment of debts and penalties will allow entry into the country. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that in such case the restriction on entry may affect not only UAE, but also the Gulf region itself.
Therefore, we strongly recommend not leave the company in Dubai and use the applicable practice to liquidate / close it solely within the legal framework.
Our company provides not only the registration of any type of company in the UAE, but also companies liquidation and execution of all the steps and requirements within the companies dissolution in Dubai and other Emirates of UAE.

The UK's new Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education Scheme it will go live on 5th November. Anyone responsible for a drone or unmanned aircraft (including model aircraft) weighing between 250g and 20kg will need to register as an operator. The cost for this is now £9 per year.
You will also need to take and pass an online education test but don't worry, this is free and renewable every 3 years and can be done easily on line. Both of these requirements become law on 30 November 2019. When you register, you'll get an operator ID with your certificate of registration. You must display your operator ID on your drones and model aircraft. You can use the same operator ID for all your drones and model aircraft.
Now, we all like to keep our data safe so our advice would be to register directly with the CAA and not a 3rd party provider.
If you are under 13 years of age you can only register with a parent or guardian present.
We've now added the official CAA registration link to our website here, but remember, you can't use this link before the 5th November 2019.
Happy flying and remember, just because you are now registered does not mean you can use your drone commercially. If you need a commercial drone operator? You can find one really easily on our website.Search Pilots

I'm going to go to bed and read - I'm sorry I don't have a more substantial post for tonight, but some nights are like that. I hope to have more soon. (I think if I did one of those wordle clouds for this blog, MORE and SOON would be enormous.)
ANYWAY. Before I go to bed to read*, I will say that the photo at top is from The Grotto at Christmastime. I'll have more of these pictures later. I was having a fine old time by the end.
* I'm reading Running the Books right now - it's due day after tomorrow and blah blah blah. After I finished Jane E, and another book I read for bookgroup, I just wanted to read one of the quick novels I have piled up around here. I even literally said "I want to read a novel!", but then I saw that this was due and I probably wouldn't be able to get it again for 6 months, so I opened it up and it started pretty strong, etc. etc. etc. But I swear, novel next! Anyone have a recommendation? Read anything novel-y lately that you think I'd like? I can't promise I'll read it next, but I would add it to my list.

Talking to Kids About The Market
By KELLI B. GRANT
If you think the current market volatility is frustrating, just try explaining it to your kids.
When the markets dominate headlines, the evening news, and small talk among adults, there's little chance the kids will miss what's happening. That's not the same as them understanding it, though, and explaining the market's dips and dives is no easy feat (not to mention the debt downgrade) — especially for parents who may themselves be confused and uneasy. But it is important, experts say. After all, some 42% of Americans says they get most of their financial knowledge from their parents, according to a 2011 National Foundation for Credit Counseling study. And learning how to better handle money and make financial decisions in tough times can ultimately help kids grow up to be savvier, more confident investors and savers, says Peter Zaleski, professor of economics and statistics at Villanova University. "If you have experience with something, the ups and downs don't scare you as much," he says.
That doesn't mean it's easy. More parents are prepared to talk to their kids about drugs or sex than money, according to an April survey from ING Direct. For starters, many are afraid they aren't great financial role models, says Brent Neiser, a certified financial planner and the senior director of strategic programs and alliances for the National Endowment for Financial Education. They may also worry that sharing too much about a rough financial situation will create undue anxiety, or assume that their kids are unaware, he says.
But staying quiet doesn't protect children in quite the way their parents may hope. Kids are likely to pick up on bits of the news from classmates, the news or other sources, and draw their own conclusions. And impressions formed early tend to last. Young adults who were in their early teens when the recession hit in 2008 are now very distrustful of financial institutions, with 75% saying the stock market is "rigged," according to a June survey from the University of Arizona's Take Charge America Institute. That kind of fear without experience could create a generation less willing to invest or save, warned researchers. It already has, in slightly older generations :A new study from Betterment.com found that investors age 35 and younger were 33% more likely than other age groups to shift from stocks into less-risky bonds during market volatility. (Read: How to Teach Kids about Money.)
On top of that, kids figure out more than parents expect, which is why they could be anxious if you won't talk about it. "Parents invariably think their kids don't know much about family finances, whereas the kids tell us about family finances in all kinds of detail — how much money mom earns per hour, or which bills need to be paid next," says Martha Wadsworth, a professor of psychology at the University of Denver.
But talking to kids about money in general and the market swings in particular doesn't have to be hard, says Mark Zupan, an economist and dean of the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester. Even elementary-school age children can grasp some of the basic lessons: there are good times and bad, and right now we're in the bad part of that cycle, he says. It's a prime time to talk about the importance of saving over the long term and having a plan for your money. That said, parents should be careful not to get so detailed that their young child starts to fear that Ben Bernanke is the monster hiding under the bed. Emphasize that the forces affecting the economy aren't ones that they can control, and that they shouldn't worry, says Kimberly Foss, a certified financial planner and the founder of Empyrion Wealth Management in Roseville, Calif. "You want to give your kids the facts and the truth, not nightmares," she says.
Tweens and teens will benefit from even more detail, like how a declining market can provide a good opportunity to snatch up stocks at bargain prices, Foss says. They'll also need explicit lessons like how to manage a checking account. Use any investment accounts you have for them as a teaching tool, or better yet, give kids shares as a gift. PBS Kids, the government's Federal Citizen Information Center, 360 Degrees of Financial Literacy and theJump$tart Coalition have tools and games to use, too.
Parents who have been up-front with their kids about money say the results can be gratifying, if occasionally surreal. Maria Bailey, host of "Mom Talk Radio," was frustrated Wednesday to see Deere & Co. close at $68 a share — a far cry from the $95 she paid for it back in May. "Don't worry about it," advised her 17-year-old son Owen, who, along with his three siblings, participates in family dinner-table talks about the economy and picks several stocks each year to invest in as a holiday gift. "It's important to stay in the market long term. You're not buying stocks to sell them tomorrow." Says Bailey of the exchange: "It was one of those a-ha moments in my life where I thought, I must be doing something right as a mom."Read the Original Article

Fatty O'Leary's Dinner Party
Unabridged Audiobook
Written By: Alexander McCall Smith
Narrated By: Steven Crossley
Publisher: Recorded Books
Date: August 2015
Duration: 3 hours 47 minutes
An all-new, never-before-published original short novel by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, about a hapless American tourist's larger-than-life comical trip to Ireland. Shortlisted for the 2015 Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction Cornelius P. 'Fatty' O'Leary and his wife, Betty, plan a vacation in Ireland for his fortieth birthday, where they will tour his ancestral homeland and relax in the countryside. Almost immediately, things go terribly wrong: the seats in economy class on the plane are too small; the country hotel's dinner spread and bathroom fixtures leave much to be desired; and the down-to-earth O'Learys find their fellow guests are more than a little snobbish. In this amusing and touching portrayal of a kindly, misunderstood soul, McCall Smith has created yet another memorable character who will become an instant favorite to his many fans.
