Istanbul residents rally around their beloved stray dogs

As part of Istanbul's modernization push, the government wants to kick its dogs off the streets and into parks. Some city residents are howling.?

By Alexander Christie-Miller,?Correspondent / October 31, 2012

Few aspects of Istanbul's government-driven gentrification efforts have caused as much angst as a scheme to do away with the city's legions of stray dogs and cats.?

In recent weeks, several thousand people have marched through Istanbul and other Turkish cities in protest of a draft law that envisions the rounding up and relocation of stray animals to specially-created "natural habitat parks."

The law pits efforts to revamp the booming city?against a mindset that remains strong?within older districts, where?street animals are seen as?legitimate denizens of the city.

"These are the neighborhood's dogs," says Hamit Yilmaz Ozcan, as he sits with Chico, an elderly Alsatian, and Hercule, his younger, rust-colored companion, two strays that reside near his clothing shop in the neighborhood of Cukurcuma.

"They protect us and everyone loves them."

The government has expressed bafflement at the hostility, insisting its aim is to protect strays from the danger and hunger they face on the streets.

Authorities say the dogs and cats will be fed and cared for at the new "habitat parks" situated on city outskirts, where they will be visited by school children and available for adoption.

"The proposed law aims to make animals live," the Ministry of Forestry and Water, which drafted the bill, said in a statement last month.?"The aim is to prevent bad treatment of animals, clarify institutional responsibilities, and to strengthen the mechanisms of animal ownership.?

Currently Turkey's strays are rounded up by municipal authorities, who generally vaccinate and spay or neuter them before releasing them back onto the streets with ear tags.

Animal rights activists are suspicious of government motives.

?The intention is to massacre these animals in a place where people will not see it,? says Emel Yildiz, a film actress and one of Turkey?s most prominent animal rights activists.

A support network for strays

Street animals have been a part of Turkish culture for generations, and many Istanbul residents believe they have as much right to inhabit the streets as humans.

In the central Beyoglu district, a shopping and nightlife hub popular with tourists, stray dogs and cats are a fixture of the crowded, narrow streets.?They are fed and often groomed by local businesses and residents. Some even become local celebrities.

One such character is Nazli, an obese Rottweiler mongrel who spends her days waddling between caf?s, butchers, and fishmongers off Istiklal, the city?s busiest shopping street.

?Everyone loves her,? says Kubilay Bircan a caf? worker on Hazzo Pulo Passage, where Nazli often sleeps at night.??The shopkeepers feed her with different things: fish and meat mainly. We all take care of her,? he says.

Four years ago, local tradesmen, concerned about the length of her toe nails, wrestled Nazli to the ground so a veterinarian could clip them, recalls Rita Cindoyan, a shopkeeper in the passage.??You couldn?t just take [Nazli] to a new place because she has been here all her life and she is looked after,? she says.

At Coskun butcher?s shop in the nearby Fish Bazaar, where Nazli is better known as Zehra, manager Ibrahim Ersoy is blunt about the proposed law.

?We would not let it happen,? he said. ?In our language we have a saying that the one who doesn?t love animals can?t love people.??

Modernization?

Opponents of the latest scheme see echoes of the "Great Dog Massacre of 1910," an event embedded in the city?s folklore.?Ottoman authorities rounded up most of Istanbul?s 60,000 stray dogs and dumped them on the deserted island of Sivriada, a tooth of rock that lies in the nearby Marmara Sea. The dogs slowly starved to death.

Europe's unemployment rises to new record

LONDON (AP) ? Unemployment in the 17-country eurozone hit a record high of 11.6 percent in September, official figures showed Wednesday, a sign the economy is deteriorating as governments struggle to get a grip on their three-year debt crisis.

The rate reported by Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, was up from an upwardly-revised 11.5 percent in August. In total, 18.49 million people were out of work in the eurozone in September, up 146,000 on the previous month, the biggest increase in three months.

While the eurozone's unemployment rate has been rising steadily for the past year as the economy struggled with a financial crisis and government spending cuts, the United States has seen its equivalent rate fall to 7.8 percent. The latest U.S. figures are due this Friday.

With the eurozone economy fading, most economists think unemployment will keep increasing over the coming months and that the deteriorating economic picture will soon spook investors again after a brief hiatus.

"Financial markets have calmed somewhat, but we expect that the deteriorating economy will soon enough lead to more crisis headlines," said Tim Ohlenburg, senior economist at the Centre for Economics and Business Research

Five countries in the eurozone are already in recession ? Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Cyprus ? and others are expected to join them soon.

The region as a whole is expected to be confirmed to be in recession when the first estimate of eurozone economic activity in the third quarter is published mid-November ? a recession is officially confirmed after two consecutive quarters of negative growth.

"With surveys suggesting that firms are becoming more reluctant to hire, the eurozone unemployment rate looks set to rise further, placing more pressure on struggling households," said Ben May, European economist at Capital Economics.

Recession and unemployment make it more difficult for the eurozone to deal with its debt problem ? governments need to pay more benefits to the jobless and receive fewer tax revenues. That could push countries to take even more austerity measures, which in turn weighs on economic activity.

Once again, Spain held the ignominious position of having the highest unemployment rate in the eurozone, at 25.8 percent. Greece may yet surpass that ? its unemployment rate mushroomed to 25.1 percent in July, the latest available figure, and is due to increase in the face of what many economists are calling an economic depression. The country is forecast to enter its sixth year of recession next year.

Both countries, which are at the heart of Europe's three-year debt crisis, have youth unemployment above 50 percent. That risks creating a lost generation of workers and is straining the countries' social fabric. Extremist political groups in Greece and regional separatist parties in Spain have grown in popularity as the economy worsened.

Concern over the social impact of unemployment has also weakened governments and hobbled political decision-making.

In Greece, the three parties in the coalition government have tried for months to agree on an austerity package that is necessary for the release of bailout loans to prevent the country's bankruptcy.

The lowest unemployment rate in the eurozone was Austria's 4.4 percent. Germany, Europe's biggest economy, has a jobless rate of only 5.4 percent.

Separately, Eurostat reported that inflation in the eurozone fell modestly to 2.5 percent in the year to October, from the previous month's 2.6 percent. Inflation is still above the European Central Bank's target of keeping price rises just below 2 percent.

"High and rising unemployment, and relatively sticky inflation, does not bode well for consumer spending across the eurozone, especially as consumers in many countries are also facing muted wage growth and tighter fiscal policy," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at IHS Global Insight.

Above-target inflation has not prevented the ECB cutting its key interest rate to a record low of 0.75 percent, but few economists think financially-strained consumers will get any more help from the bank at next week's monthly policy meeting.

Halloween (1978) Movie Review ? 2012 Theatrical Run | Fister ...

Article by?FisterRoboto?of?lefthandhorror.com

Written by John Carpenter & Debra Hill

Directed by John Carpenter

Starring: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tony Moran

A psychotic murderer institutionalized since childhood for the murder of his sister, escapes and stalks a bookish teenage girl and her friends while his doctor chases him through the streets.

Original theatrical release 10/25/78

What a Halloween treat to see this in the theaters as an adult. Featuring a new ten minute documentary titled You Can?t Kill the Boogeyman, John Carpenter?s horror staple is enthralling in its new HD transfer. Nostalgia washed over me with the first sign of the orange text on the black screen, eerily backed up with Carpenter?s signature theme. 35 years later and Halloween still reigns supreme in the world of indie horror hits.

I was nine years old when my parents? poor judgement landed me in the front seat of their 1977 Oldsmobile. Armed with popcorn, a Coke, and my overactive imagination ? my young life was about to change at the local drive in theater. Horror took to me like a cat takes to warm milk. My Southern Baptist parents never really seemed too concerned about taking me to see movies like The Omen or The Exorcist; Maybe they thought I could handle it ? they can?t seem to remember why they deemed this appropriate. I?m just glad that they did. I became obsessed with John Carpenter?s indie masterpiece and still absorb new trivia whenever I run across it. Tonight brought an amazing opportunity: the chance to relieve this past glory and pivotal influence that generates my love the for the genre to this day.

We don?t know anything about young Michael Myers, we can?t even speculate on him being ?seemingly normal? before he violently butchers his older sister with a kitchen knife. To me, this is the most troubling thing about Myers in the greater scheme of horror villains ? the kid just snaps with no warning and murders his sister, Judith. His parents come home on Halloween night and Michael is sitting on the front steps of his Haddonfield, IL home with a confused look on his page. The police arrive and discover the ghoulish murder of Judith at the hands of six-year-old Michael.

Michael is taken to Smith?s Grove Sanitarium where he?s introduced to Dr. Samuel Loomis (Pleasance), his doctor for the next fifteen years until Michael escapes. Loomis spends an intensive amount of time with his new patient and is ultimately convinced pure evil resides behind those young eyes. ?Black eyes? as he calls them ?the devil?s eyes?. Michael never communicates, never reacts to his new life, he sits patiently for fifteen long years and escapes the day before Halloween. His destination is Haddonfield for his unfinished business.

I?m not going to do a play by play here. It?s a safe bet that most people frequenting my site have seen the film 35 times already. What I do want to talk about is all the reasons this film was/is such a magnificent piece of horror art for the ages. Carpenter not only wrote this amazing film, but he managed to deliver it to the studios for less than $400k ? making it an indie success and then some. The budget was so thin that the fresh-faced Jamie Lee Curtis (Laurie Strode), went shopping at a local JcPenny to buy her own clothes for the film. This was a perfect storm of possibilities. The actors and crew were so dedicated to this film, and it shows on each glorious frame.

Curtis is awesome as the teenage recipient of Myers? attention. She?s a little naive and sheltered, but sets the precedent for powerful leading ladies that can be felt in everything from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Anita Blake. I LOVE strong female leads. Pleasence is the only actor I can see portraying the obsessed Doctor determined to find and stop Myers. Being a horror movie, the local police are sure this escaped kid can?t even drive a car, let alone make it all the way back to Haddonfield to murder young Laurie. If you don?t know why he?s gunning for Laurie, then get the fuck out and do some horror homework.

Halloween isn?t dripping with gore, even the visible blood is minimal. What makes this work is the terrifying psychological approach Carpenter took to tell this tale. The unforgettable theme music was the pinnacle of horror themes then and now. Even more impressive is that Carpenter himself wrote the chilling music. Simple but effective. Carpenter?s directional style filled every second of the film with palpable tension and horror, relying on good old American film making instead of gore and extreme scenarios. Dubbed ?The Shape?, Myers is the penultimate killing machine. He never speaks, takes off his mask, or even breaks a sweat on his unstoppable journey back to Haddonfield and beyond. You can stab him, shoot him; it doesn?t help. Why he possessed these supernatural killing powers is beyond the audience at the time. Like every other serious Halloween fan, the Thorn bullshit they introduced as a back story for Myers was just that, a huge pile of theatrical bullshit. I don?t acknowledge the other Halloween films and neither should you. Halloween III has its own charm, but shouldn?t have the name associated with it. Rob Zombie made the film his own, and I love his version as well. Other than that ? total wastes of time.

This is a horror fan?s Christmas. An evil and mysterious killer, a young and innocent protagonist, kids to make the real life Boogyeman that much scarier, the score, the unrelenting Loomis on Myers? trail, and inevitable showdown all make this my favorite horror movie of all time. One could argue The Shining, Rosemary?s Baby, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are better films, but this is my favorite for all time, and contributes highly to the fact that this website and article even exist. Enjoy this movie in the dark, nothing but a lit jack ?o lantern atop your entertainment center.

Fear Factor ? Drinking tea, coffee and milk, in the light ... - ncs-ng.org

Today morning, I went to a nearby hotel for breakfast. In my last four years in Bangalore, majority of my daily meals were from hotels. In the counter, two people were standing in front of me. My eyes went through the menu list pasted next to the printing machine; after having a quick look I decided on Idly.

Next to that, price for tea and coffee were also listed. I am not a big fan of tea/ coffee. Last time, I ordered a full tea. But today, seeing the entry itself created a terrible feeling. After all, only yesterday I read the result of ?The National Survey on Milk Adulteration 2011?.

The National Survey on Milk Adulteration 2011

According to the survey ? ?to ascertain the quality of milk and identify different type of adulteration in the liquid milk throughout the country?,

1. ?total non-conforming samples were 1226 (68.4%)?.
2. ?non-conformity of samples in rural areas were 381 (31%)? [Packet samples: 64 (16.7%), Loose samples: 317 (83.2%).
3. ?In urban area, the total non confirming samples were 845 (68.9%)? [Packet samples: 282 (33.4%), Loose samples: 563 (66.6%).
4. ?deviations were found highest on account of Fat and SNF content in 574 samples (46.8%) of the total non?conformity, which includes 147 samples with detergent and two samples with neutralizers respectively?.
5. ?Detergent was also found in 103 samples (8.4%). Perhaps the reason may be dilution of milk?with water?.
6. ?The second highest parameter of non conformity was the Skim Milk Powder (SMP) in 548 samples (44.69%) which includes presence of glucose in 477 samples. Glucose would have been added to milk probably to enhance SNF?.
7. ?The presence of Skim Milk Powder indicates the reconstitution of milk powder?.

If I summarize,

1. 68.4% of milk is not fine for human consumption.
2. Apart from water, detergents are also present in milk.
3. People are adding milk powder.
4. Neutralizers are also present in the milk.

Regions

This issue is not limited to any single part of India. Survey was carried out by five regional offices of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in 33 states; sample size was 1791.

Moral Issues

After having breakfast, I walked towards a supermarket located some 200 meters away. Young man of around 30-32 years old was walking in the opposite direction. I could see half litre milk packet, inside a partially transparent plastic bag he was carrying. He may have a kid of 2-3 years old. It is also possible that the kid may drink this milk as well? which may contain detergents and other things.

We are buying milk (any other item for that matter) with the belief that, other side will play fair. Moreover, everybody can?t have a cow at their home.

Conclusion

It is a known fact that a good percentage of milk selling in India is not adhering to the highest standards, people made water as the twin brother of milk long time back; but detergents? adding milk powder?

Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) conducted a survey and enlightened the people. Good thing, but who will take action against the entities contaminating milk? Simply conducting an ?ease of doing business survey? will not increase the ease to do business. It should be firmly backed by action at ground level. Here, if I am not wrong, independent India always had food inspectors, regulators etc. Even this ?Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)? was not created yesterday. Still this is the situation.

It is important for government and its various arms to make sure the security of her citizens. Providing security is not limited to protecting borders or conducting income tax raids, it also includes the protection of consumer and sanity of market place.

Sajeev.

da:ns Fest 2012! Notion: Dance Fiction! Oppa Frankenstein! ? For ...

Joavien Ng performs in Choy Ka Fai's Notion: Dance Fiction. Photo courtesy of Yi-Chun Wu/The Esplanade.

Earlier this afternoon, Choy Ka Fai stuck some pads on my right arm and left cheek and let rip a few thousand volts of electricity.

I?m exaggerating of course. It was only a slight electrical jolt, but it was enough to make my arm contort involuntarily. And my face is still twitching ever so slightly. I hope the lady in the bus didn?t think I was coming on to her.

But at least I can say that for less than a minute, I became a butoh artist. Sorta. Kinda.

What if you can digitally map out, codify and archive dance movements? And what if, with a tweak of a knob or a press of a button, you can access and enact it?

That?s the premise behind Notion: Dance Fiction, Choy?s fascinating lecture performance that?s part of an ongoing project about muscle memory.

It?s all very Matrix-y. Plug in and voila! Instant Moonwalk.

Armed with his laptops, consoles and this afternoon?s collaborator, choreographer Joavien Ng, Choy presents the preliminary results of this unusual research.

In NDF, he reduces dance to, literally, a physiological tic, a muscle contraction brought about by electroshock. He aligns it to scientific developments stretching all the way back to the 1700s and to forays in contemporary art from artists like Stelarc and Daito Manabe.

Creating a programme that allows him to convert video images of dance pieces into electrical impulses, he sticks aforementioned pads unto his body and ?does? butoh artist Tatsumi Hijikata?s Summer Storm.

And then comes the fun part. He gets Ng to do the same thing. Using samples from his database of performances by contemporary dance choreographers, which are also projected onscreen, Ng does an Yvonne Rainer, a Vaslav Nijinsky, an Isadora Duncan, a Lin Hwai-Min, and even one of her earlier pieces.

Insider quips abound. A technical glitch during her Akram Khan moment sees her ?looped? (?The file is corrupted,? says Choy. A joke or a jibe?). She does a Jerome Bel?which basically entails doing nothing.

And then Choy complicates things, cutting and pasting, combining pieces: Rainer meets Pichet Klunchun, a Rainer, Klunchun and Merce Cunningham hybrid. A Frankenstein of dance.

Human agency is erased as dance becomes patterns filtered through machines. For some, the possibility is an ethical and artistic nightmare (what happens to genius? To chance?) For others, it?s a glimpse at a gamechanging breakthrough (I can become the next Messi! We can all become the next Messi!)

It?s a lovely debate to have, and indeed, a number of folks during the post-show discussion brought up questions having to do with one or the other.

But there?s something else going on here. If the title isn?t enough of a giveaway, the contrast between the crudeness and jerkiness of Choy?s earlier demonstrations and Ng?s rather fluid reenactments of some complicated movements should be enough of a hint.

You don?t have to try it out to see that right now, this proposition is really one for the future, but since I did, I?d have to point out that it can get pretty uncomfortable. Ng would have to be a masochist to go through all that. Heck, I don?t think the body?s even prepared for such abuse.

And that?s where the coolness of the piece really lies?that the two?have deadpanned their way through NDF, talking about and discussing muscle memory and all that scientific stuff, pushing a case for it, while at the same time interrogating it.

Seen in that light, NDF debunks its own arguments and proves its exact reverse: in the end, Ng combines all these different portions into one piece, without any outside assistance.

And through it all, we, the audience, are not so much deceived as made complicit by our very act of viewing in this continuous shuffling between fact and fiction.

While there is a twist to the proceedings, NDF is far from being a ?punchline? work. When it quotes the Rainer piece ?The Mind Is A Muscle?, you understand it not only in relation to the debate about where the art of dance really comes from, but also in relation to you sitting there and shaping your own cognitive experience of the show. Inasmuch as Choy and Ng are piecing together these mini-choreographies, aided by technology or otherwise, you are likewise doing the same thing.

Shocking, isn?t it?

Hurricane Sandy grounds thousands of flights

NEW YORK (AP) ? Hurricane Sandy grounded thousands of flights in the U.S. northeast Monday and upended travel plans across the globe, stranding passengers from Hong Kong to Europe. The massive storm threatens to bring a near halt to air travel for at least two days in a key region for both domestic and international flights.

Major carriers such as American Airlines, JetBlue and Delta planned to cancel all flights into and out of three area airports in New York, the nation's busiest airspace. According to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, nearly 7,500 flights had been canceled for Sunday and Monday. Both Philadelphia International Airport and Newark International Airport, a hub for United Airlines, each had more than 1,200 cancellations for the two days.

Delays rippled across the U.S., affecting travelers in cities such as San Francisco to Chicago, and disruptions spread to Europe and Asia, where airlines canceled or delayed flights to New York and Washington from cities that are major travel hubs including Berlin, Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Travelers such as businessman Alan Shrem, who was trying to return home to Boca Raton, Florida after attending trade fairs in Hong Kong and China's Guangzhou, were facing long waits for a new flight.

Shrem said he was "edgy" and "exasperated" after learning his Monday morning Cathay Pacific flight to JFK was canceled.

He learned he could be stuck in Hong Kong for nearly a week because the next available seat was Nov. 4. Cathay ticketing counter staff at the airport put him on a waiting list for seats that could become available earlier, but he didn't hold out much hope.

"I don't know what number I am, I could be 300. They don't even tell you. They just say: Yeah, it's a pretty big waiting list," said Shrem, throwing up his hands.

Shrem, whose company produces signed sports memorabilia, was one of a handful of travelers trying to rebook their flights at Hong Kong's airport. Cathay urged people whose flights had been canceled not to come to the airport. In the meantime, he'll have to fork out $400 a night to continue staying at a nearby hotel. The airline won't pay for accommodation for stranded passengers if delays are weather related.

"It's insane. It's crazy. It's going to wind up costing me thousands and thousands of dollars by being stranded here because of the weather," Shrem said.

Sandy, a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) as of early Monday, was blamed for 65 deaths in the Caribbean before it began churning up the Eastern Seaboard. Forecasters say the hurricane is about 425 miles (685 kilometers) southeast of New York City and the center of the storm is expected to be near the mid-Atlantic coast on Monday night, colliding with a wintry storm moving in from the west and cold air streaming down from the Arctic. Experts say the rare hybrid storm that results will cause havoc over 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.

At New York's LaGuardia on Sunday, crowds filled the American Airlines terminal near midday, with families sitting on the floor waiting for a flight out ? any flight out. A few travelers were sitting at a bar having a beer, watching football. Others nervously paced before flight information boards showing canceled flights, hoping their flight wouldn't be added to that list. It was almost double the normal crowd. Travelers were calm, but anxious.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs five airports in the area, said it expects all carriers to cease operations Sunday night. It advised passengers to check with their carriers before heading to the airport.

Passengers on Sunday were reporting multi-hour wait times at airline call centers.

Eileen Merberg, 50, was booked on a United flight from her home in Rochester, N.Y. to New Orleans, connecting at Washington D.C.'s Dulles airport.

First, the airline sent her an automated message via email saying that her Washington flight was canceled and that she had been rebooked on a flight through Newark. About an hour later that flight was canceled. Another email informed her she was rebooked through Chicago.

By that point, she already had told the higher education conference that she was scheduled to speak at that she wouldn't be coming. She tried to cancel her flight but United's phone lines were jammed. First she waited 62 minutes before her phone battery died. After recharging, she then spent 45 minutes on hold before a recording told her it would be at least another hour before a customer service employee would be available.

"Then I hung up," Merberg said.

A spokesman for United Airlines parent United Continental Holdings Inc. said the carrier has suspended an unspecified number of flights to New York and Washington-area airports beginning Sunday evening with plans to resume Tuesday as conditions permit.

JetBlue Airways Corp., which flies out of JFK, said it has canceled more than 1,000 flights from Sunday through Wednesday morning.

American Airlines and American Eagle canceled 140 flights Sunday and canceled another 1,431 flights Monday through Wednesday due to Hurricane Sandy, the company said.

US Airways said it had suspended all operations at the three New York airports Sunday evening and Monday and at Philadelphia and Washington on Monday.

Disruptions on the East Coast of the U.S. also impact international carriers. Air France has canceled four Monday flights into JFK and two departures. Lufthansa canceled three flights to the Northeast and one flight out of Newark.

A total of eight flights out of Tokyo's Narita International Airport to New York, Newark and Washington were canceled Monday.

Hong Kong's Cathay canceled its two daily flights to New York for Monday and Tuesday and Air India said its daily flights to Newark and JFK had halted since Sunday.

South Korean flag carrier Korean Air delayed a flight scheduled to leave Incheon International Airport for JFK on Monday by 22 hours. Asiana Airlines delayed its JFK flight from Seoul by 26 hours.

Video: Sandy taking 'unprecedented' path

>>> we're back now with a final check on the path of the massive storm as it takes aim at the east coast . hurricane specialist bryan norcross joins us from the weather channel headquarters. good evening.

>> good evening, lester. yes, this is an absolutely unique storm, but it is taking an unprecedented path. let me show you the storm. i want to show you what is so special about it. it's a combination of a hurricane right here in the center, and a nor'easter that's this big here. it's one storm embedded inside the other. it's going to move to the north and then turn inland. we have never seen a path like that. there is nothing like that in our record book for a storm coming from the south. now here are the damaging winds. this is where tree branches come down and we start to have problems and driving around becomes a problem. here we are tomorrow morning about 9:00 affecting cape hatteras and the tide water area at that time. the strongest winds are staying offshore. here we come to the north, monday morning early. notice at this point the strongest winds are now beginning to affect the big cities of the northeast and moving into new england. so we would not recommend driving around beginning early monday morning. and then moving through the day on monday, the strongest winds come in, pushing the seawater against long island, against the jersey shore , and in towards new york city . a lot more to talk about and look at tomorrow. back to you, lester.

>> bryan norcross , thank you. that's

Loki: The Disowned Psychic Shadow ? WiccanWeb

By Makarios, on October 27th, 2012

By Henry Lauer

How is it with Loki? In a previous article I proposed that ?part of the challenge [of life] is learning to be comfortable with the discomfort of uncertainty.? And then I suggested that this challenge is connected to Loki. What did I mean by that?

Loki is a classic shadow figure ? the bearer of everything disowned and rejected. He stands out as a challenge and a dare to each of us ? can we accept the destructiveness, the chaos, within ourselves? Or do we deny it and blame it on some external figure or figures?
