Read the future
by Allyson Blood
Weekends without her son are lonely ones, and Linea fills them up with her have-to list. Today is one of those days, and she finds herself heading downtown to visit a co-worker who's recently had her second child, a girl. Linea goes early, to avoid the inevitable jostling on the Dundas streetcar. Some days she doesn't mind the crush of people, almost needing the physical touch of strangers, but today she needs space. She leaves her apartment, remembering to take the pink gift bag, and inhales deeply as she walks toward the streetcar. The leaves are turning red early this year. Linea and her small son, Caleb, live on a tree-lined street near the chocolate factory. She can't decide which smell is sweeter: the daily intoxicating aroma of chocolate or the fresh burst of today's September roses. She loves this neighbourhood mixed with Italian and Portuguese families who take pride in growing thick, colourful gardens in their tiny front yards and clusters of small, sour wine grapes in the back. She imagines what sunny gardens these immigrants left behind in their birth countries, and how they have tried to transplant something from their old home into their new. The Toronto grape season passes too quickly each fall and it is such a secret pleasure to sniff deeply when she passes through this neighbourhood. The grape vines and the requisite home winery equipment are mostly hidden from view, as if part of a secret society, but not the flower gardens. Linea never knew there was such a wide variety of roses until she walked through the side streets that weave toward College Street. Deep red chrysanthemums, tiger lilies, irises, sunflowers, zinnias and black-eyed Susans bubble out through freshly painted wrought iron fences. Some gardeners go a step farther and weave flowery vines through the antlers of iron deer or the rungs of stone archways or wooden gazebos. Fibreglass bunnies and gnomes peer out from under masses of green foliage. Solar butterflies line the cement paths that lead to the front doors. Linea feels the competition among neighbours but has a feeling it is not spoken of. Polite pride hangs heavy in the air. She never knew roses could bloom so late in the autumn until she ventured up Beatrice Street one day. It all reminds Linea of Edward Scissorhands, and Johnny Depp's ghostly face keeps her company as she heads for the Dundas car.
"He fucked me and left me!" she bellows today. Angry as usual.
When Linea can't be with her own child, who is spending this weekend with his father, she doesn't want to be reminded of the lucky ones who can. She even envies those mothers who look harried, dragging back stray strands of hair and sighing, whispering threats in a language she doesn't know to their little ones who can't sit still any longer on the streetcar's red seats. It is shopping day for many and people go early to get the freshest produce. The streetcar lurches toward Spadina, and regrettably, she is sitting right in front of the old woman with dirty straw hair and a thick European accent, who always shocks her fellow passengers by suddenly screaming crude obscenities and intimate, sordid stories of her life.
"He fucked me and left me!" she bellows today. Angry as usual. Assorted faces look away in annoyance and embarrassment. Most have heard this monologue before.
"And they caught him and hid him so I couldn't find him and even when I asked they wouldn't tell me where he was and my son at my breast wouldn't change their minds! I wanted to spit in his face for leaving! And when we found him my son spit out my breast and spit at his father and we called him a dog no better than the dogs on the road that bit our heels when we ran past the meat factory!" Each time she says spit she does exactly that.
Then her voice softens and she whispers loud enough for those close by her to hear.
"But then I knew where to find him in the forest and I brought chocolate and red wine and I picked mushrooms and berries and we vomited and we all went to sleep and in the morning I left with my son but I always knew where to find him after that."
And then she laughs a throaty laugh and stares up at the ceiling of the streetcar. Something there catches her attention and she becomes quiet.
Strangely, Linea hears truth in the woman's stories and squirms inside for wanting to hear more, even though the woman's shrill voice doesn't allow Linea to escape into her own thoughts, as she occasionally likes to do during her time alone. For a little while, Linea loses her own identity as the streetcar careens past cafés, the hospital and on toward the sea of Saturday shoppers.
Soon Linea is pushing the intercom button of her friend's apartment near Dundas and Spadina. She walks past the graffitied lobby and wonders who had the courage to deface public property. Linea smiles softly to herself as her son pops into mind. At four years of age, he is already well on his way to becoming a graffiti artist. Every week or two, she discovers a new little piece of art on one of their rented walls at home. Last month he moved aside his toy shelf and used the wall space behind as his canvas for his black, indelible marker. It was like a secret room back there, decorated with hearts and flowers and little people and cars. The brilliant part was a perfectly written little sentence: "I love U Mama." Linea generally forges through motherhood feeling like she is one or two steps behind Caleb. They frequently have serious talks about art etiquette and respecting the fact that the walls are not theirs to draw on.
"Where do you need to do your drawing and writing, Caleb?"
"On paper . . . sorry, Mama."
"That's right. And Mama's given you lots of paper and markers to write with." "Yep, right there on my desk."
"So next time, where will you draw?"
"On the paper."
"Thank you, Caleb."
And then, more drawings, more reminders, more apologies. And each time Linea knows he knows that she is not angry with him because she cannot hide the fact that she is impressed by his art. Linea half-heartedly attempts to wipe off the drawings but secretly likes them to stay so she can look at them when he is away with his father.
Noura and her son, Ahmed, open the door of their apartment and usher Linea in. "As-salaam alaykum!" They smile. "Hello and welcome!"
Even though the infant is asleep on the sofa, the Koran tucked carefully under her frilly pillow, there is no pretence of quiet. Noura believes that it is better for babies to learn how to sleep through noise. There will be no tiptoeing around this baby. Linea agrees in theory, but gave birth to a baby who could hear a pin drop a mile away. She spent the first two years shushing people just to get a little extra break from the relentless demands of mothering. Everyone stands around admiring the new baby girl, who doesn't yet have a name. Her father and mother disagree on whether to name her after one of her father's many aunts who still live in Egypt or to choose a Canadian name. Her father, Abasi, likes the traditional names of his aunts, like Acenath or Quibilah, but Noura wants to name her after a close Canadian friend Claire, who has been like family here in Toronto. It seems to Linea that the couple argue a lot about traditions, about loyalties, about family and where they came from.
"It's like Abasi is stuck in Cairo still," Noura whispers to Linea when Ahmed is engrossed in watching TV.
Noura has moved on. Egypt will always be her main identity, but she is Canadian now, her children are Canadian, and she hates that Abasi pretends they are not.
"People must change with the times. We've been here ten years already." She shrugs. "Why does he act like none of this exists?" She sweeps her arm around the dark apartment. "We are here. It's like living with a ghost sometimes."
Noura invites Linea into the kitchen for coffee. While she grinds the coffee beans, the freshly painted walls remind Linea of Barney. Linea stares in wonderment not only at the bold choice of colour, but at the fact that the brush strokes reach onto the ceiling. She knew what her landlord would say about that; "Don't forget, Miss Linea, when you move out you must to paint it back to white or I charge you for to paint myself!" Linea's father, a house painter by trade, taught her how to paint walls when she was young. He was so precise. There could not be even the tiniest drops of paint where they shouldn't be, and if there were by accident, he took immediate care to use the white drip cloth to wipe it off. His attention to detail had so worked its way into her own life that she still gets utterly distracted by anything out of place. Noura notices where Linea's eyes have landed and laughs.
"No one ever looks up there after all. All we need to see is down here!"
Linea laughs too, and makes a mental note to lighten up.
While the coffee brews, Noura suddenly slaps at the wall. Startled, Linea asks her what she is doing.
"Cockroaches," she replies, and her eyes dart around the room looking for more. They don't have to wait long. Three more appear suddenly and Linea is amazed at the agility and swiftness with which Noura kills the intruders. Noura laughs again.
"Before we had Quibilah," she says, "I used to say these cockroaches were Ahmed's brothers and sisters! They eat with us, they sleep with us . . ."
As they laugh together, Linea wonders if she notices the name she has just called her baby. Noura always says she lets her husband get his way. She says life is too short for fighting. Noura catches Linea's eye. "Quibilah means peaceful," Noura tells Linea as they wrap their hands around their coffee cups. Linea admires her friend's ability to let go of issues, and her mind wanders to Caleb's father. What might have been if she had let go of more also? Could they have stayed together, had more children? Some days, Linea feels stuck in the muddy past, trapped by details of what might have been.
Noura believes that crying together with someone washes away the sadness, leaving you cleansed and able to move on.
Linea lets Noura's strong coffee wash over her, and for a quick moment she is back in Cairo. She was there once, the year before she met Noura. It felt like a dream throughout that holiday, and it has become an even sweeter dream over the years. She can still taste the fruit-flavoured hookahs, smoked giddily in the Khan el-Khalili while wedding guests rejoiced in the street near her table. Life there was lived with one another. People celebrated together, grieved together, always knowing there was someone there who would hold you up when you fell from the hardness of life. She admired the way men embraced, locked arms, cared for each other. Things are so different here—things were so different with her own family when she was growing up. When they cried, they cried alone. Noura believes that crying together with someone washes away the sadness, leaving you cleansed and able to move on. Linea's life in Toronto can be so lonely, even with family and friends close by. Linea still cries alone.
Linea's thoughts are interrupted by Ahmed, who has come into the kitchen for a coffee of his own. Linea expresses surprise that a child of eight is allowed to drink coffee. Noura assures her it is healthy, in fact, she says, it is better for children than tea. Noura is always so sure of what she says. When Ahmed was a baby, Linea was shocked one day when Noura cracked open an egg and poured it into his bottle of formula. When Linea warned her of salmonella poisoning, she dismissed her with a wave of her hand and said everyone does this, it makes the baby healthy and strong. Noura's unwavering confidence makes Linea doubt things she has always believed in.
Quibilah is passed around, showered with kisses, and Linea melts into this world that feels more like her own than her real life does.
There is a knock at the door and more of Noura's friends arrive to admire the baby Quibilah, shower attention upon her mother, drink coffee and discuss life. Linea knows none of these friends, but it doesn't matter. They are all friends by association and conversation is easy. The talk is mainly in English for Linea's benefit, but now and then Arabic words are thrown in when someone is very excited or the right word cannot be expressed in English. Quibilah is passed around, showered with kisses, and Linea melts into this world that feels more like her own than her real life does. After a while, though, she is reminded too much of the piece of her that is missing this weekend, and tells Noura she has to leave. Linea passes Quibilah back to her mother's ready arms and pulls herself away.
Linea hops back on the streetcar heading toward downtown and covers her ears when the wheels squeal too loudly on the tracks. She knows this driver. Now and then he shouts out something he thinks might be of interest to the riders, as if he is a tour guide and they are all foreigners. Some people smile at his exuberance, others have that same embarrassed look as if the old European woman was shouting out her past life. There are more people now, some finished their shopping already and heading home. Linea smiles sadly at a little boy who stares at her while his father talks loudly into his cell phone. There is always a piece of Linea missing when Caleb is not with her, holding her hand, telling her impatiently to look this way or that.
More than ever she minds the crowd of people who lean into her suddenly when the streetcar swerves jerkily around a corner. There is no such thing as personal space here on public transit, and it's when Linea is without her son that she needs it the most.

The FDA Bans Triclosan
Category: Stop Poisoning Ourselves
The FDA recently issued a rule banning triclosan and more than a dozen other chemicals commonly used in antibacterial soaps.
This will affect a large number of products. "If the product makes antibacterial claims, chances are pretty good that it contains one of these ingredients," according to an FDA spokeswoman. Companies have a year to comply with the new rule.
Triclosan is the trade name for 5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol. It's manufactured from the same raw material as 2,4-D, a component of the infamous Vietnam-era defoliant, Agent Orange.
According to the FDA, antibacterial soaps are no better at preventing infection or illness than washing with soap and water. Advocates of natural health have been saying this for years. Many so-called "germs" are essential to the body's optimal bacteria balance. They act as probiotics for the gut and skin; are naturally anti-inflammatory; and boost the immune system.
This ban has been a long time coming. In 1978, the FDA proposed to regulate antibacterial soaps and allow on the market only those it determined were safe and effective. However, it created a loophole: if there wasn't enough data to know whether a chemical was safe and effective, it stayed on the market until a final determination was made.
Until now, the FDA had not made a final determination on triclosan, probably because of industry pressure. Meanwhile, its use in consumer products has mushroomed—until an estimated 75% of antibacterial liquid soaps and body washes sold in the US now contain it. The chemical is also found in mouthwash, toothpaste, and toys.
Here are some of the dangers associated with triclosan and triclocarban (a related chemical agent):
Animal studies have shown that both of these chemicals can interfere with hormones critical for normal development and functioning of the brain and reproductive system.
Triclosan has been associated with lower levels of thyroid hormone and testosterone, which could result in altered behavior, learning disabilities, or fertility problems.
Triclocarban has been shown to amplify or unbalance artificially the effects of sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and may be carcinogenic. It can also cause muscle damage.
Furthermore, laboratory studies suggest that triclosan and triclocarban may be contributing to antibiotic resistance in bacteria known to cause human infections. Infections caused by bacteria with resistance to at least one antibiotic have been estimated to kill more than 60,000 hospitalized patients each year.
Why is the FDA taking this action now after so many years? We think it might be because banning triclosan in personal care products will keep prices of the raw material for 2,4-D low for Bayer, Monsanto, and DuPont. As current pesticides lose effectiveness, companies and farmers are increasingly relying on this component of Agent Orange from the 1940s to kill weeds.

Emotional Support Animal Deposit
By Julie • Updated: 07/19/22 • 3 min read
An emotional support animal (ESA) can be just as helpful to a person with a disability or medical condition as a service animal. A person with a disability or medical condition who requires the use of an ESA should be able to obtain one easily. These animals can then provide therapeutic benefits to their owners, such as calming anxiety or stress.

It is important that people with disabilities have access to the same rights and protections as everyone else. This includes the right to own an emotional support animal and not be discriminated against when they travel with them or live with them.
Because of this, people may want to know what it takes to get an emotional support animal. They may also want to know what kind of protection federal and state laws can give them and their emotional support animals. This is what our article will cover.
Laws Around Emotional Support Animals
You may be wondering what rights you have to own an emotional support animal. In some cases, you may be able to take your emotional support animal on a plane or in a hotel.
However, it is important to note that federal and state laws differ on this topic. Some states have more protective laws than others when it comes to the rights of people with disabilities and their emotional support animals.
For example, New York City is known for having lots of protection when it comes to emotional support animals. These animals are allowed in the subway, hotels, and most office buildings. This is in contrast to other states which may extend such protection to service animals, but not emotional support animals.
One of the biggest matters to consider is housing laws. Many states have laws that allow people with disabilities to live in housing with their emotional support animals, even if the building has a no-pet policy. This can be a huge benefit to those who require the use of an emotional support animal.
Do Pet Deposits Apply to Emotional Support Animals?
Usually, apartment complexes require that regular pet owners pay a pet deposit. In most cases, however, the pet deposit may be waived for those who are taking their emotional support animals with them. In this scenario, emotional support animals are granted the same perks that service animals get.
This is because assistance animals are protected under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). These laws make it so that landlords and airlines cannot charge a fee for an assistance animal. This is true even if there is a no-pet policy in place.
While this is true, there are still some situations where emotional support animals may be denied access to an apartment or building. This is if the animal poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others, for example. Landlords and airlines are also allowed to deny access to emotional support animals if they are not a good fit for the building and the accommodations that they have to provide are too unreasonable.
Julie is a graduate of the University of North Carolina, Wilmington, where she studied Animal science. Though contrary to the opinion of her parents she was meant to study pharmacy, but she was in love with animals especially cats. Julie currently works in an animal research institute (NGO) in California and loves spending quality time with her little cat. She has the passion for making research about animals, how they survive, their way of life among others and publishes it. Julie is also happily married with two kids.

By John Beverly Butcher, M. Div.
The people assemble at an agreed time in a quiet place in nature, a warm and friendly home, a church, or some other sacred space. A creative liturgist is responsible for guiding the people through the Liturgy of the Eucharist and enabling free, open, and natural participation by all who are present.
As the people gather, they will normally form a circle around a table, preferably one that is octagonal or round in shape. When there is a larger number of people, a series of concentric circles may form in a natural way around the table which serves as an Altar. On the altar is placed a large chalice of water containing an oil lamp or floating candle in the center.
This liturgy is a celebration of the Life and Wisdom Teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and Mary of Magdala. It reclaims the first century ritual of passing bread and three cups: first a cup of water, then a cup of milk and honey, and then a cup of wine. When a smaller group of participants chooses to use one chalice instead of three, then offer prayer for water, fill the cup and pass it around the circle until the cup is empty. Do the same with the milk and honey and then with the wine.
Liturgical celebrations are empowered by chanting Odes, singing songs, praying spontaneously, and releasing other outpourings of the Spirit. A Liturgist welcomes everyone to the celebration, and states clearly the purpose of this ritual:	A Chalice of Mystery ritual is designed to enhance your awareness of Mystery by stimulating your imagination, arousing your senses, releasing your emotions, and awakening the Spirit. You are invited to celebrate this ritual with the intention of entering into Holy Union and becoming One Body. We begin by Lighting the Chalice, symbol of ourselves as open Chalices ready to be filled and ignited by the Fire of Mystery.
An opening tone is sounded on a Tibetan bowl, Japanese bowl, or similar instrument, creating a sound conducive to centering.
One or more passages from sacred writings and a selection from one of the Gospels are read. Dialogue, song, dance, instrumental music, other art forms, and silence may be included.
In silence and aloud, focused attention is given to Mother Earth, the people of the earth, contemporary events around the planet, personal concerns, and individual needs. When desired, there may be praying with laying on of hands. A vessel of oil may be available for anointing for healing and for releasing the Holy Spirit.
Four People bring to the Altar: Bread and Three Chalices with cruets of water, milk and honey, and wine. All four face the Center.
The Eucharistic Prayer may be offered by two people, preferably a man and a woman, praying alternating paragraphs, or between men and women alternating.
Amazing Mystery, Pulsating Energy of the Universe!
You are Darkness and Light, You are Fullness and Emptiness, You are Known and Unknown, You are Silence and Voice, You are the Name of the Sound and the Sound of the Name.
You are the Mother and the Womb that gives shape to all.
You hide yourself in everyone and reveal yourself within them.
You move in every creature. You give life and take it away.
You shatter and You bring together. You are union and dissolution.
And we praise you as long as we have breath.
living in movement and rest.
who is arrested, tried, tortured, and crucified, who dies and returns to his Mother the Earth, who lives in all who allow the same Spirit to breathe through them.
we offer as much as we know of ourselves to as much as we know of You.
Break the bonds that constrain us and set us free!
Take our minds, passions, emotions, and wills!
Pulsating Energy of the Universe!
You are Mother, Father, Teacher, and Lover!
You are the TAO of ten thousand Names!
Make us your living chalices!
Empty us and rinse us out!
Fill us with all that You Are!
Enlighten us and set us on fire!
You transform grain into bread and give us the Bread of Life!
Fill this Chalice and us with the flowing Water of Life!
Fill this Chalice and us with the Milk and Honey of Life!
Fill this Chalice and us with your transforming Life Force!
Relate freely and openly with all you meet….

Here are 2 sides from Ma Rainey's second recording session.
Thomas J. "Tommy" Ladnier (May 28, 1900 – June 4, 1939) was an American jazz trumpeter. Clarinetist/writer Mezz Mezzrow rated him second only to Louis Armstrong.
Ladnier moved to New Orleans in his youth. He was influenced by early New Orleans trumpet/cornet players Bunk Johnson and Joe "King" Oliver. About 1919 he moved to Chicago, where he started making records in 1924. In 1926 he moved to New York City to join the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. Two years later Ladnier toured Europe with Sam Wooding's band, then returned to the States to rejoin Fletcher Henderson, and then played in Noble Sissle's Orchestra, with whom he again toured Europe. In the 1930s Ladnier co-led a band with Sidney Bechet called The New Orleans Feetwarmers, with whom Ladnier made some of his best recordings.
Tommy Ladnier died of a heart attack in New York City at the age of 39.
Jimmy O'Bryant (c. 1896, Arkansas or Kentucky – June 24, 1928, Chicago) was an American jazz clarinetist, often compared to Johnny Dodds.
O'Bryant played with the Tennessee Ten in 1920-21, then in a group with Jelly Roll Morton and W.C. Handy in 1923. In 1924 he played with King Oliver. From 1923 to 1926 he recorded extensively with Lovie Austin's Blues Serenaders, and also did sessions with his own Washboard Band. He died in 1928 at the peak of his career.
Gertrude Rainey v / Tommy Ladnier c / Jimmy O'Bryant cl / Lovie Austin p.
Recorded in Chicago on December 12, 1923.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, can stir one's soul like the early recordings. The echo, the tinny sound of a piano, a trumpet, the voice through a megaphone. Love these Paramounts.

Open Letter from Artists to Carnegie Hall: Cancel the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's Performance
We are conscientious artists who support justice, human rights, equality, and democracy in the Middle East and around the world. Consequently, we are dismayed by Carnegie Hall's upcoming October 2012 hosting of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The IPO is an organization that whitewashes Israel's ethnic cleansing of indigenous Palestinians. We call on Carnegie Hall to cancel the IPO's upcoming October performance for reasons set forth in greater detail below.
How the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra Whitewashes Israel's Oppression of Palestinians
The IPO is not an apolitical cultural institution; it is actively complicit in whitewashing Israeli human rights abuses, apartheid, and occupation of Palestinian land.
In 2006, the Israeli government launched a public relations initiative called "Brand Israel," which seeks to use art and music to distract from Israel's human rights violations. According to Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, by sending Israeli artists and musicians abroad, "you show Israel's prettier face, so we are not thought of purely in the context of war." The IPO website aptly notes that the Orchestra serves as "Israel's musical ambassador throughout the country and the world." American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra calls the IPO "Israel's finest cultural emissary" and notes that "[t]he goodwill created by these tours … is of enormous value to the State of Israel." This cynical use of art and music serves to obscure Israel's military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, home demolitions in Jerusalem, kidnappings, bombings, multiple forms of collective punishment, and countless other grave abuses.

Inside Carnegie, Trumpets; Outside, Bullhorns
The 2011 American tour by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, a seven-city, eight-concert trek that reached Carnegie Hall, was meant to be a festive occasion. Unquestionably Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic make up a significant and valuable artistic alliance. Still, not everyone was of a mind to celebrate. Opponents of the Israeli government's policies and actions toward the Palestinians have deemed the orchestra, in its role as one of Israel's most visible and successful cultural exports, complicit, however quietly.
Protest Against the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in NYC, 2/22/11
New Yorkers protest Israel Philharmonic for whitewashing apartheid, protests planned in other US cities
February 22, 2011 – Seventy New Yorkers protested the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra's (IPO) performance at Carnegie Hall Tuesday evening, using chants, songs and street theater to highlight the IPO's role in whitewashing Israel's apartheid policies against the Palestinian people. The orchestra's performances are being met with protests in six of the seven cities on its US tour, including a protest last Sunday evening in West Palm Beach, an upcoming Wednesday protest in Newark, and further protests in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles, as reported by the Israeli news website YNet.
Noelle Ghoussaini from Adalah-NY explained, "Tonight we sent a clear message to the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Israeli government's "Brand Israel" campaign that their music cannot drown out Palestinians' calls for justice." The US protests respond to the call from the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) to boycott cultural institutions like the IPO that work to normalize Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories and whitewash the oppression of Palestinians in Israel, the occupied territories, and in exile.
