Das Tschubek-Bewässerungssystem (, kurz CIS) ist ein Kanalsystem im Süden Tadschikistans, das Wasser aus dem Fluss Pandsch in die landwirtschaftlich intensiv genutzten Regionen im Süden des Landes bringen soll.

Nutzen
Der Pandsch ist ein sehr wasserreicher Fluss, der der wichtigste Quellfluss des Amudarja ist. Aus dem wasserreichen Einzugsgebiet des Pandsch werden die Regionen im Süden Tadschikistans mit Wasser versorgt, das dort für die Landwirtschaft eingesetzt wird. Insbesondere in den Sommermonaten ist der Bedarf für Wasser in den südlichen Distrikten hoch. Durch das CIS werden im Jahr circa 4,5 % des Wassers des Flusses Pandsch abgeleitet.

Klima
Das Klima in der Region ist ausschlaggebend für die Notwendigkeit eines Bewässerungssystems. Es gibt nur in den Monaten von Dezember bis Mai ausgeprägten Niederschlag, im Sommer werden Temperaturen über 40° Celsius erreicht und es gibt kaum Niederschläge. In dieser Zeit besteht eine große Abhängigkeit der Landwirtschaft vom Wasser des CIS.

Bestehendes Bewässerungssystem
Das bestehende Bewässerungssystem stammt aus der Zeit der sowjetischen Herrschaft in Tadschikistan, der Hauptkanal wurde 1950 fertiggestellt, bis 1987 wurde das System weiter ausgebaut. Der Hauptkanal hat eine Kapazität von 150 m³ Wasser pro Sekunde. Das System dient der Bewässerung von 50.163 Hektar Land in den Distrikten Farkhor, Hamadoni, Vose und Kulob. Die Verteilung des Wassers erfolgt insgesamt zu 71 % durch Schwerkraftbewässerung und zu 29 % durch Pumpen. Verteilt auf die versorgten Bezirke wird in Farkhor die größte Fläche bewässert:

Ursprünglich basierte das System nur auf der Schwerkraft, aber um höhere Regionen zu erreichen, wie das auf 580 Metern Höhe gelegene Kulob, wurden schon zu Sowjetzeiten Pumpen in das Bewässerungsnetz eingebaut.

Pläne
Die tadschikische Regierung hat ein Projekt zur Modernisierung des Tschubek-Bewässerungssystems ins Leben gerufen, für Fördergelder bei der Asiatischen Entwicklungsbank und dem Green Climate Fund beantragt worden sind. Hauptziel ist die Steigerung der Effizienz der Landwirtschaft in den betroffenen Regionen, insbesondere hinsichtlich der Wassernutzung. Ein zentrales Problem ist die Verstopfung der Kanäle durch Sedimentgestein, das im Rahmen des Projektes entfernt werden soll. Außerdem sollen weitere Kanäle gebaut werden, um die Wasserversorgung in weiteren Regionen zu gewährleisten:

Zur Steigerung der Effizienz der Wassernutzung ist die Errichtung moderner Drainagesysteme vorgesehen. Zudem sollen die bestehenden Pumpen modernisiert werden, um gerade in Zeiten großer Nachfrage in den Sommermonaten die Versorgung sicherstellen zu können.

Die Umsetzung der Pläne soll in Zusammenarbeit des nationalen Amts für Landgewinnung und Bewässerung und der Behörde für Wasserressourcenmanagement angegangen werden. Außerdem wird das Projekt von der Asiatischen Entwicklungsbank (ADB) und Nichtregierungsorganisationen unterstützt. Das Projekt soll Anfang 2023 in Gänze abgeschlossen sein.

Why the SEP is opposing the California recall
By Jerry Isaacs
The World Socialist Web Site has received several letters criticizing the Socialist Equality Party's call for a "no" vote on the recall of California Governor Gray Davis. These letters raise fundamental political issues that need to be discussed and clarified.
BM, for example, writes: "It's clear that many in the labor movement interpret a 'no' vote on the recall, as a vote for Governor Davis. Art Pulaski, head of the state AFL-CIO, according to press reports, recently and repeatedly called Davis 'the best governor in 100 years.' Partly for that reason, I plan to vote 'yes' on the recall. I certainly, to paraphrase Eugene Debs, don't want to vote for what I don't want and wind up getting it."
In a similar vein, TL writes that our opposition to the recall provides "support" to the Democratic governor and undermines the SEP's fight to break the working class from the Democrats. He states: "While the SEP believes, as its program states, that the Democrats are equally responsible for the hegemonic designs of the US at an international level and the suppression of working people's rights within the US, there is no point supporting a wrong against a wrong."
As in the case of any other political phenomenon, we must concretely examine the political forces and interests involved in the recall campaign and define an independent standpoint for the working class. It is true that there may be some who interpret a "no" vote as a political endorsement of Davis, but the SEP is opposing the recall not as allies of Davis, but as socialists mobilizing the working class against an attempt by right-wing forces to use the recall to nullify an election and impose a political agenda that goes considerably further than the reactionary policies of the Davis administration.
We would urge both readers to examine our election statement much more carefully. In it we state explicitly that the SEP offers no political support to Davis, Lt. Governor Bustamante or any other representative of the Democratic Party. We are running our own candidate—John Christopher Burton—in the event the recall is successful, to provide a socialist alternative to both big business parties.
Another reader, DF, writes: "Gray Davis has been a complete vegetable in managing the state of California. That has been the sole reason why the voters have been given the opportunity to vote Davis out of office. Although Republican leaders are credited for initiating the recall, the fact is that the majority of California voters want Davis removed."
This version of events is simply not accurate. The Republican right and the media have fostered the claim that Davis, due to his malice or incompetence, has single-handedly produced the economic and social crisis in California. While he no doubt bears some responsibility, one cannot separate the situation in California from the profound crisis facing the federal government, virtually all of the US states and the world economy in general. The Bush White House has pursued a deliberate policy of bankrupting the public treasury in order to finance tax breaks for the rich and the exploding military costs of the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Moreover, the primary actors in California's economic meltdown include the closest corporate allies of Bush and Cheney, such as Enron.
The letter writer is also mistaken when she asserts that Davis's mismanagement of the state "is the sole reason why the voters have been given the opportunity to vote Davis out of office." The recall campaign is not the outgrowth of a popular movement from below seeking to replace Davis with a progressive alternative. On the contrary, it was organized by extreme right-wing enemies of the working class to reverse the outcome of the November 2002 election and impose a political agenda—aimed at lifting virtually all restrictions on the accumulation of personal wealth—that the voters had repudiated at the polls.
The initial recall effort, begun within weeks of the election, failed to garner public support. It only gained momentum once multimillionaire Republican Congressman Darrell Issa began to finance the effort, which ultimately cost $3 million.
As we say in our election statement, "The recall is the latest in a series of efforts by the far right to force through their political agenda against widespread public opposition, using methods of backroom conspiracy and employing huge financial resources." These include the shutdown of the federal government in 1996, the impeachment campaign against Clinton, the theft of the 2000 election and the ongoing redistricting efforts by the Republicans in Texas and Colorado.
When Gray Davis denounced the recall as a "right-wing power grab" he was stating a well-known political fact. While forced to lift the lid about this conspiracy because of his immediate electoral problems, Davis refuses to draw any further conclusions about the character of the Republican Party and the right-wing and fascistic forces that dominate it.
Davis will not say that the Bush administration is an illegitimate government installed on the basis of unconstitutional and illegal methods, nor will he bluntly warn the population about the dire threat that the Republican right poses to democratic rights. The governor and the Democratic Party as a whole are incapable of waging any serious struggle in defense of democratic rights because that could bring broad masses of working people into political struggle—a prospect that the Democrats fear far more than the conspiracies of the right.
In many respects, a letter from PR in Berkeley, California most fully articulates the general standpoint of the "left" supporters of the recall.
His letter begins, "Since you are the most qualified candidate on the ballot, why do you call for a "no" vote on the recall? Get Davis out and you in!"
For PR, the threat to democratic rights is not even a consideration. Instead he outlines an essentially opportunist approach to the recall, one that begins with the possible electoral gains the SEP might make if it supported the removal of Davis.
He writes: "Since you cannot win the election for governor (if you could you should be for the recall), you should at least have a 'defeatist' stand towards the two parties of American capitalism and have NO position on the recall."
These same arguments were heard during the impeachment drive against Clinton; i.e., that it was simply a dispute within the ruling class and of no concern to working people. Indeed the impeachment drive—like the present recall campaign—expresses the intense political warfare going on within the ruling elite, but the working class cannot afford to be indifferent to the outcome of this struggle.
Before he attacks the SEP, PR should look at the record of those on the so-called left who support the recall, beginning with their reaction to the impeachment campaign against Clinton.
The Green Party's 2000 presidential candidate, Ralph Nader, supported the campaign to remove Clinton from office, saying that if he had been a senator at the time he would have voted to impeach the president. Insofar as the Greens' presidential candidate publicly defended the impeachment it helped provide a cover of legitimacy to the political conspiracy by Christian fundamentalists, right-wing multimillionaires and fascistic elements.
The impeachment turned out to be the preface to the theft of the 2000 election. During the disputed vote count in Florida, Nader—who received 97,000 out of his 2.7 million votes in the state—remained silent as the Republicans blocked the counting of votes and the right-wing majority on the Supreme Court handed the election to Bush.
In the Bush administration—the most right-wing government in US history—we see what the proponents of Clinton's impeachment were seeking to achieve. Those on the so-called left who provided legitimacy to this political conspiracy, including the Greens, cannot avoid taking responsibility for the outcome.
In California, the Greens are once again in a de facto political bloc with the Republican right, with Peter Camejo, their candidate for governor, calling for a "yes" vote on the recall of Davis. What is the calculation of the Greens? They have embraced the recall at least in part to intervene and increase public exposure of their party in the hopes of gaining respect as a "legitimate" party in the eyes of the media and the powers-that-be. Lacking any genuine political independence, the Greens vacillate between the Democrats and Republicans according to what is politically expedient. Their concern is not developing an independent and anti-capitalist movement of the working class, but gaining influence in order to exert pressure on the two parties of big business.
A genuine socialist party, however, cannot be indifferent to the fate of the democratic rights of the working class. Part of the struggle to develop the political consciousness of working people is teaching them to defend their previous gains, including the right to vote and to have their votes counted, against the threats of the extreme right.
The Socialist Equality Party's struggle against the Democratic Party is a principled political struggle. It is aimed at educating the working class about the capitalist nature of the party and dispelling any illusions that the Democrats speak for working people or are capable of defending their most basic necessities.
We are not seeking to build the SEP on the basis of exploiting confused opposition to the Democrats—including chauvinist, anti-immigrant and anti-tax sentiments promoted by the right wing—but through winning working people to our socialist and internationalist program.
Behind PR's positions lies the deepest skepticism about the revolutionary potential of the working class and its ability to resolve the crisis of capitalism in a progressive manner.
He is almost in awe of the supposed power of the Bush administration and the Republican right. The Republicans, PR writes, are "by far the more dynamic and astute in dealing with the decay of the system; it is why they have become the majority party among the less than 50 percent of the population that votes ... and control all three branches of the federal government."
This inflated conception of the strength of the Republicans is indicative of the despair of many ex-radicals and their prostration before political reaction. Seeing no possibility for the independent revolutionary mobilization of the working class (which they write off as hopelessly backward) these elements hope desperately that if the Democrats are "punished" at the polls, they may put up some resistance to the Republicans. Indeed, the major constituencies of the recall campaign are ultra-right Republicans and disappointed Democrats, who have not broken with capitalist politics.
PR also makes the assertion: "Your NO on the recall puts you in the same camp as social democrats and the Stalinist CP [Communist Party] in giving back-handed support to the Democrats—a bourgeois party of war and racism just like the Republicans. This not a Trotskyist position but a reformist one. It is no different than that of the Democrat Bustamante except you call for a vote for yourself and not the lieutenant governor."
We have already dealt with the question of "back-handed support" for the Democrats. As for the "minor" difference with Bustamante, which PM refers to, this makes all the difference in the world. The SEP is running John Christopher Burton to mobilize the working class against both big business parties and resolve the economic and social crisis in California in the interest of working people.
There is one other question that arises from PR's letter. In it he poses the question: "If the SEP was a mass workers party, would your line be different (that is, if you had a chance of winning)?"
The short answer is no. Even if the SEP enjoyed a mass following we would oppose such a conspiracy and expose it ruthlessly before the public. Historical experience has demonstrated the disastrous consequences of a mass workers party making the fatal decision to support the effort of the extreme right to overthrow a more moderate capitalist party.
PR says our position on the recall is not "Trotskyist" but "reformist." Rather than bandying about radical phrases, he would be better off to actually study the political struggle waged by Trotsky, the co-leader of the Russian Revolution who led the socialist opposition to the Stalinist bureaucracy in the former USSR.
One such struggle, which is germane to the discussion on the California recall, is the fight that Trotsky took up against the ultra-leftism of the German Communist Party (KPD), which in 1931 decided to join hands with the Nazis to remove the Social Democratic Party (SPD) from power.
Having failed to force the calling of new national elections, the Nazi Party launched a referendum in July-August 1931 to take over the state legislature of Prussia—the largest state in Germany—by removing the Social Democratic-led coalition government.
Under the influence of the Stalinist bureaucracy in Moscow, the KPD—a party of hundreds of thousands of workers, which garnered millions of votes—supported Hitler's referendum, which it dubbed the "Red Referendum," on the grounds that the Social Democrats defended capitalism and were therefore no different than the fascists.
In his essay, "Against National Communism: Lessons of the 'Red Referendum,'" Trotsky denounced the KPD's policy, writing, "We have not the slightest ground for supporting [Prussian SPD Prime Minister] Braun's government, for taking even a shadow of responsibility for it before the masses.... But we have still less ground for helping the fascists to replace the government.... For, if we quite justly accuse the Social Democracy of paving the road for fascism, then our own task can least of all consist of shortening this road for fascism."
He also explicitly answered those who said opposition to the Red Referendum meant giving a vote of confidence to the Social Democrats. "When one of my enemies sets before me small daily portions of poison and the second, on the other hand, is about to shoot straight at me, then I will first knock the revolver out of the hand of my second enemy, for this gives me an opportunity to get rid of my first enemy. But that does not at all mean that the poison is a 'lesser evil' in comparison with the revolver" (Germany: Key to the international situation).
Although the Prussian referendum failed, the joint campaign by the KPD and fascists against the SPD demoralized and split the working class, opening the door for Hitler to take power less than two years later and crush the proletariat.
Historical analogies are of course limited, but there is more than an echo of the radical phrase-mongering of the Stalinists and their prostration before the Nazis in the support for the recall by the Greens and various middle class radical groups today.
Marxist politics are drawn from a class analysis of events, including the strategic experiences of the international working class. Our attitude to any given set of events is not based on expediency but a worked-out conception of elevating the consciousness of the working class to the level of its historical tasks. This is the aim of the SEP and its candidate for California governor, John Christopher Burton.

Tampa International Airport and Copa Airlines Announce Nonstop Service to Panama
TAMPA - Copa Airlines {NYSE: CPA} announced today it will begin nonstop service from Tampa to Panama beginning Dec. 17. Tampa will be Copa's ninth U.S. destination and its 66th destination overall.
"Copa Airlines is very pleased to offer the first direct nonstop service between Panama and Tampa Bay, a city with strong commercial ties to Panama, numerous corporate headquarters, a growing Hispanic population, and several academic institutions popular with Latin American students," said Joe Mohan, Senior Vice President, Commercial and Planning, Copa Airlines. "With Copa's new nonstop service from Tampa to Panama, passengers will be able to make convenient connections at the Hub of the Americas throughout Latin America and the Caribbean."
Copa Airlines will operate a Boeing Next-Generation 737-700 with 12 business class seats and 112 in the main cabin on the four-times-weekly flights to Panama. The flight will depart Tampa at 7:02 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving at Copa's Hub of the Americas in Panama at 10:12 a.m. The return flight will depart Panama on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 6:34 p.m., arriving in Tampa at 9:53 p.m. Copa's Tampa-Panama flight offers optimal connections to several cities in Brazil and Colombia, San Jose, Costa Rica; Caracas, Venezuela; Guatemala; Buenos Aires; Lima, Peru; and Guayaquil and Quito, Ecuador, among others.
"This is a huge win for the Tampa Bay region, opening an easy connection for business and leisure travelers to all of Latin America," said Joe Lopano, CEO of Tampa International Airport. "Our success in recruiting Copa is the result of tremendous cooperation with our community partners, who helped us make a compelling business case for this market to one of the world's most successful airlines."
"Our board of directors recruited Joe Lopano in part to grow nonstop international flights to the Tampa Bay region, and I applaud him for bringing together a team that's creating a true global gateway at this airport," said Robert Watkins, chairman of the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Board of Directors.
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, a member of the Aviation Authority board, traveled to Panama with airport officials in early 2011 to begin the dialogue with Copa.
"As Mayor, I've made building our city's international links a priority," Buckhorn said. "Copa will open up many opportunities for Latin American visitors and business investment to our community and their flights will be a catalyst for economic growth for years to come."
Working with Tampa International Airport officials to attract Copa were Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Visit Tampa Bay, the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, the Tampa Hillsborough County Economic Development Corporation and the St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce.
"We were thrilled to partner with the airport on a recent survey of business traffic to Latin America. Nearly 250 companies responded with enthusiastic support for nonstop flights, underscoring the need for this type of service in our community," said Bob Rohrlack, president and CEO of the chamber.
Rick Homans, President and CEO of the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation, said he's especially proud of the business recruitment plan the EDC has put together to build even more links between Tampa and Latin America.
"At the EDC, it's our job to join efforts with Copa to make this new flight a success," Homans said. "More than 60 percent of businesses that participated in the Latin America Business Survey said they would conduct more business in Latin America if there was nonstop service to Tampa."
"Opening up Central and South America via brand-new Copa service is a real game-changer for the entire Tampa Bay area," said D.T. Minich, executive director of Visit St. Petersburg/Clearwater. "The growth potential for this market is huge, and we're prepared to nurture this market like we have done with our European offices over the years."
Santiago Corrada, president and CEO of Tampa Bay & Company, said that his organization's efforts to attract conference planners and organizers from around the world will also benefit from the new service.
"Together as a team, we will sell our destination in Latin America," Corrada said.
From its Hub of the Americas in Panama, Copa offers flights to more international destinations than any other airline from any other hub in the Latin American region. In-transit passengers making connections do not have immigration/customs waits and baggage is checked to the final destination.
The airline operates one of the youngest and most modern fleets in the industry and its on-time performance above 90 percent is among the best worldwide. A member of the Star Alliance, Copa Airlines has a commercial alliance with United Airlines, including participation in the MileagePlus frequent-flyer program, joint operation of the Copa Club in Panama and select codeshare flights. Established in 1947, Copa transported more than 10 million passengers in 2012. Copa was just named "Best Airline in the Central America and Caribbean region" at the Skytrax World Airline Awards.
Copa's on-board service includes complimentary meals and beverages, including wines and spirits; a 12-channel audio-visual entertainment system in English, Spanish and Portuguese, with new movies monthly and complimentary headsets. Flight attendants are bilingual. Copa's website, copa.com, is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese; passengers may purchase tickets in U.S. dollars, as well as 10 other currencies.

A still from Golden resident Chad Willox's dashcam footage shows a westbound semi and trailer colliding with a pickup truck before his own vehicle hit the trailer during a six-vehicle collision on Highway 1 west of Sicamous on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. (Chad Willox-Facebook image)
'Blessed to be alive': Dashcam video captures Highway 1 collision with semi near Shuswap
Golden resident shares harrowing footage from July 15 incident
Lachlan Labere
Jul. 20, 2020 12:40 p.m.
"I am very blessed to be alive," Chad Willox wrote to his Facebook page following his involvement in a six-vehicle collision on Highway 1 near Sicamous.
The comment was posted on Sunday, July 19 by the Golden resident, along with an excerpt of dashcam video taken by the driver following Willox during the collision that occurred 10 kilometres west of Sicamous on the evening of Wednesday, July 15.
The harrowing footage shows a westbound white tractor-trailer unit coming around a corner, crossing double solid lines before falling on its side in the eastbound lane. In the process, the semi collides with the side of Willox's pickup truck and trailer before hitting the vehicle with the dashcam filming the incident.
"Time to make changes to Commercial Vehicle Regulations and Training. A twinned national highway would seem appropriate as well," commented Willox in the post.

Two semis, three pickup trucks and an SUV were involved in the collision that sent the driver of the westbound semi and three other people to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the westbound semi, a 32-year-old Calgary man, was charged by police for crossing double solid lines. Speed was believed to have been a contributing factor.
"This narrow two lane section of the highway has a rock wall on the eastbound ditch and a steep drop behind the concrete barrier on the western ditch," commented Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Murray McNeil. "It is extremely fortunate that this collision did not result in multiple fatalities considering the length the truck traveled before finally coming to a stop, and the extent of the damage sustained to all the impacted vehicles."
Witnesses of the collision were asked to contact the Sicamous RCMP at 250-836-2878.

If you still trust the government to control your life after this laughable bill, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe it's too late. ... See MoreSee Less
Give Black Westchester Magazine a big thank you for highlighting how NY's two controlling parties are decapitating other political party competitors. FANTASTIC!! The more people talking about this, the better.
"What I find most interesting is the two parties who hold congressional hearing to break up monopolies are in fact trying to succeed as one, protecting their position by making it harder for minor parties to exist. By killing off your competition you are becoming the most dangerous monopoly. I guess the correct word would be a duopoly in NY state by the Dems have made themselves a monopoly in Westchester County, especially in cities like Mount Vernon, where they strongly outnumber Rebublicans.
The current ruling two-party duopoly is so ubiquitous that we take it as a given. We teach the "two-party system" in government classes. Taxpayers pay for their primary elections, notwithstanding that legally, parties are private associations. We have allowed the two ruling parties to institutionalize themselves in our political and governing systems. They get preferential ballot access and legislative committee assignments and campaign finance laws are rigged in their favor . . . . just to name a few of the advantages they are afforded."

The Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center is located in the unique Moore-Ward cobblestone house. Exhibits in the main house focus on local and area history, featuring photographs, Native American artifacts, farm and ranch displays, and a hands-on children's room with hats and clothes to try on. The Art Annex gallery next door features rotating exhibits such as local art shows, traveling exhibits and temporary in-house displays. The museum offers special programs by arrangement and extensive outreach services as well. Mission Statement: To collect, preserve, and display objects and information relating to local and area history, and to make this history as accessible as possible to the visiting public.
The Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center first opened its doors in 1970, thanks to the generosity of the S.S. Ward estate in providing the quarters and the City of Artesia in providing financial support. Today, the museum's excellent and varied collections attest to the community's generosity and commitment to preserving our heritage. The museum's growth and expansion has continued with the supportive backing of the City of Artesia.
By 1982, a need for greater financial flexibility had arisen, and the Museum's Foundation was established as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization so that those who wish to make a financial gift directly to the museum can do so with the knowledge that the gift will be administered by a permanent foundation. Gifts to the foundation are used to sponsor many of the museum's events such as the annual Living Treasures Awards Ceremony, the Russell Floore Memorial Art Show, traveling exhibits, preservation projects such as our 1905 wooden Eclipse windmill and a 1951 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, and other projects for the benefit and enjoyment of the entire community.
If you are interested in making a contribution towards preserving our community's heritage, please consider making a gift to the Artesia Historical Museum & Art Center Foundation.
Russell Floore Memorial Student Art Show & Awards Reception Our annual student art show is up and running, featuring the latest and greatest from Artesia middle school, junior & senior high school students.

Slip and fall accidents are very common in the summer. People are outdoors exposed to all kinds of things that can put them at risk.In the unfortunate event of an accident, make sure a Ventura slip and fall accident attorney is by your side.
Posted in Slip And Fall Accident on Thursday, Jun 15, 2017.
Summer is already here. It's a time to enjoy and to create lasting memories with family and friends. But what about when you slip and fall during one of those amusing summer activities? As you prepare to celebrate outdoors, it's important you take some precautions in advance that will help prevent a potential slip and fall accident. In the unfortunate event of an accident, make sure a Ventura slip and fall accident attorney is by your side.
Be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes you are walking in a public place with dangerous conditions. Try to avoid any dangerous situation that may cause an accident.
Wet or slippery surfaces are generally the main cause of most slip and fall accidents. If the floor is wet, walk a little slower or avoid the wet area if possible.
When you see obstructions ahead, avoid them.
Try walking in areas well-lit that will allow more visibility of poor floor conditions.
Beware of summer footwear. Although sandals are extremely comfortable they can also be hazardous. They offer less protection and are less secure than regular footwear.
If you have fallen on any type of slippery substance, you will have to prove the accident was caused by lack of warning. Taking pictures of the accident can be very helpful. Without pictures it will be difficult to prove the accident was the property owner's fault. It might not sound fair to you after all the trouble you have gone through. But this is the cruel reality of litigation. Photographs are the best evidence to prove the accident actually occurred. Your attorney may access pictures from the premises owner when these are available but this may not always be the case. The attorney will also read the owner's maintenance and repair policies and analyze the records. Although this evidentiary support can be useful it might not be sufficient to describe the accident scene and understand how it all happened.
Handrail problems such as wrong height, no handrails or only one in place.
Problems with the depth of steps.
If you want to find out whether a staircase has a design problem, your attorney will request construction records and check how building codes were violated.
Slip and fall accidents are very common in the summer. People are outdoors exposed to all kinds of things that can put them at risk. Injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident can have lasting effects. Although summer accidents can be prevented, there are times when even the most cautious person will experience them. In order to recover medical expenses, lost income and receive compensation for pain and suffering, you may have to file a lawsuit. This is oftentimes the only away to get these complex legal issues resolved.

Jack Todd: Novak Djokovic is behaving like a spoiled brat
Anti-vaxxer is everything that drives those who are simply trying to survive into a blind rage.
Jack Todd • Special to Montreal Gazette
Serbia's Novak Djokovic reacts after a point against Austria's Dominic Thiem during their men's singles final match on Day 14 of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on Feb. 2, 2020. The vaccine-skeptic tennis ace was held after arrival in Australia on Jan. 5, 2022, his visa revoked for failing to meet the country's tough pandemic restrictions. Photo by GREG WOOD /AFP via Getty Images
It has all the elements necessary for a Boring Twenties melodrama: The entitled celebrity brat, the looming court battle, the right to collective health and safety versus one person's desire to do as he pleases.
Bored with Netflix? Watch Novak Djokovic the day after a positive test for COVID-19 in December, shaking hands and presenting trophies in Belgrade with nary a mask in sight. Fed up with anti-vaxxers clogging our hospitals? Shake a fist and curse the stubborn idiocy of Djokovic, setting himself up for a fall by refusing to get vaccinated, then casting himself in the role of victim and martyr.
Jack Todd: Novak Djokovic is behaving like a spoiled brat Back to video
For people who have lined up to get their vaccines, worn masks, washed their hands, accepted every restriction, even grumbled their way through the most recent unnecessary curfew, Djokovic is everything that drives those who are simply trying to survive into a blind rage.
Not without reason. Djokovic is one of the more conspicuous multimillionaires in the world of sport. His primary residence is a spectacular hillside mansion in Monaco, where he lives without the burden of income taxes. He owns an apartment in Miami that looks like the deck of an interstellar spacecraft.
All this and while Canada's men were quietly winning a brilliant ATP Cup title , Djokovic's whining was still centre stage Down Under.
Djokovic's rivals have been some of the great gentlemen in the history of tennis: Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray, Roger Federer. Next to them, Djokovic is a spoiled, childish clown, trotting his fake science around the globe.
Djokovic is hardly the only one. The NFL has Cole Beasley and Aaron Rodgers, who dodges the vaccines and lies about it. Hockey has Tyler Bertuzzi, who shows his great team spirit by refusing to get vaccinated so he can play in Canada. The NBA has flat-earther Kyrie Irving.
But Djokovic is the worst of the lot. He flouts rules and reason by attending a public function unmasked the day after a positive test, he expects an entire nation to bend its rules for him. He questions the right of a foreign nation to protect its borders and its people from disease. He refuses to take even the most basic precautions after a positive test.
Through it all, he casts himself as a victim, protesting against his brief stay in an immigration hotel with 33 souls who are in genuine limbo, including some who have been there as long as nine years.
A court in Australia will hear Djokovic's appeal Monday morning (Sunday evening in Montreal) and deliver a ruling, quite possibly too late for Tuesday's draw. Presuming he is turned away in Australia, he'll probably face the same dilemma if he wants to play at Roland Garros: Act like a grownup and get vaccinated or behave like a spoiled child and miss another Grand Slam.
Under the circumstances, it was refreshing to hear what the level-headed Nadal had to say: "I believe in what the people who know about medicine say."
"If I had never seen Guy Lafleur play hockey I don't think I would have ever become a sportscaster," says Chantal Machabée, who decided to leave RDS after 32 years to become the Canadiens' vice-president of communications. Photo courtesy of Club de hockey Canadien
Habs hit a homer! Rarely, if ever, do the Canadiens make a decision that is greeted with universal applause. They could trade Joel Armia for Connor McDavid and some fraction of the fan base would complain that they were losing size and toughness.
But the hiring of Chantal Machabée as vice-president of communications last week was arguably the club's most popular move since June 10, 1971 — the date Sam Pollock drafted Guy Lafleur.
I can't recall another decision the Canadiens have made at any level that was greeted by such unanimous approval. Machabée is loved and respected by absolutely everyone in and around the organization. Among the fan base, she is far better known than her predecessors because of her role with RDS, and unlike some of her male colleagues in the broadcast world, she isn't the face on anyone's dartboard.
It's a lot to put on the shoulders of the long-time RDS broadcaster, but Machabée should be up to the task. It won't be easy. The director of communications is pulled in every direction — by an owner who expects nothing but good press, by journalists who demand players' time and players like Shea Weber and Carey Price who don't want to give it, by a public that wants to know every detail of the lives of its heroes.
From the get-go she is going to have to manage the very delicate Logan Mailloux portfolio and to help burnish the public image of a club that has been seriously tarnished.
Machabée can succeed simply by being herself and by doing the things at which her predecessor failed most conspicuously: Be honest. Don't play favourites. Don't pit reporters against each other. Don't fire long-serving employees who have been fiercely loyal to the CH every step of the way.
It's in her DNA. Machabée will do fine.
Heroes : Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Steven Diaz, Brayden Schnur , Rafa Nadal, Anthony Calvillo , Max Pacioretty , Keegan Mitchell , Shuai Peng, &&&& last but not least, Chantal Machabée.
Zeros : Novak Djokovic, Kirk Cousins, Cole Beasley, Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving, Tyler Bertuzzi, Urban Meyer, Hockey Canada, the IIHF, Claude Brochu, David Samson &&&& last but not least, Jeffrey Loria. Now and forever.

Screenplay: From the album by Goscinny and Uderzo, with the participation of Pierre Tchernia.
The unforgettable rugby match, the turbulent visit to the Tower of London…All the best bits of the mythical album are re-enacted on the big screen for an epic Asterix film, for the delight of one and all!
One of the greatest Asterix albums proved sufficiently rich to provide enough basic material for an 80-minute film. This film followed closely on the previous one and ended the collaboration between Albert Uderzo, the surviving Asterix author, and the historic producer of the series.


Our Knights Battle Arm Bracers are great for LARP, theater and wearing to the Ren Fair. Arm bracers are a great compliment to your outfit and provide that perfect medieval look. These bracers are made of soft, chrome-tanned leather and have a suede backing so they are very comfortable to wear. They feature a lace up closure with brass-plated grommets and rivets. Stitching reinforces the structure and increases durability. With its traditional design, the Knights Battle Arm Bracers fits perfectly with both historical and high fantasy costumes.
All sizes are approximate. These are handmade and may vary slightly in size.
These are fantastic! They look even better in person. Extremely fast shipping and wonderful value! Thank you so much!


Sven-Goran Eriksson would be interested in talking to Newcastle about their managerial vacancy, according to his agent.
The former England coach has not worked since last summer's World Cup finals, but he would be tempted by the prospect of working at Newcastle.
Glenn Roeder resigned as Magpies manager on Sunday and former Bolton manager Sam Allardyce is favourite to take over.
He has been linked to a number of Premiership clubs as well as French club Marseille.
Eriksson polled well in a phone vote for fans over possible candidates that was carried out by a Newcastle radio station, although the club's chairman Freddie Shepherd has given no indication that the Swede is on his shortlist.


The Zika virus is a very scary thing indeed, and it is on the march here in America.
As of June 22, 820 cases have been reported in U.S. states and the District of Columbia, and another 1,860 cases have been reported in U.S. territories.
In February, President Obama requested $1.9 billion from Congress to fund Zika virus prevention. Congressional Republicans have responded with a bill that provides $1.1 billion in funding plus $622 million in reallocated funds.
It's not everything President Obama asked for, but under ordinary circumstances he'd probably be eager to sign it. But he can't sign this bill.
Why? Because Republicans have loaded the bill with a GOP wish list of exemptions from the Clean Water Act. Emergency pesticide use in cases like stopping the Zika virus is already exempt from these Clean Water Act regulations, but Republicans are counting on voters not to make such a fine distinction and just deregulate pesticide use in general. This bill also includes language prohibiting taxpayer funding for abortion (because the Zika virus causes birth defects), but the Hyde Amendment already prohibits that to begin with.
Republicans want to force President Obama to veto the bill so it looks like he doesn't care about stopping the Zika virus — even though he asked for this funding back in February. It's a poison pill: burying deal-breaker language in a piece of seemingly uncontroversial legislation just to embarrass your political opponents when they can't support it, and it's a tactic that both sides use all the time.
Since both sides agree that the funding is necessary, the games that politicians on Capitol Hill are playing with this legislation are wasting valuable time in the eyes of the people whose job it is to actually prevent the disease.
John Oliver, host of Last Week Tonight on HBO, did something truly incredible recently. He purchased nearly $15 million in medical debt…and then forgave it all.
As wonderful as that act of generosity was, it was barely a drop in the bucket for the gigantic problem of medical debt in the USA.
Disclaimer: It only cost John Oliver $60,000 to buy this debt, but that's still hugely generous.

Hello and welcome to the forth part of the SAP Fiori Customization Samples tutorial series. In this video I am going to show you how to create a custom Fiori tile for the Fiori Launchpad.
This tile can be used in order to display dynamic data in an intuitive way in order to provide information at a glance from the moment you open the Fiori Launchpad. This is the first video of a two-part episode and will be focusing on the structural part of the process.
First of all, let's take a look over the steps of that you will follow next.
You will need to gather certain files from the SAPUI5 framework that will be used as a base for your custom tile.
The second step will be to modify the files in order to fit your desired outcome. Afterwards register the application as a CHIP and include it in the Fiori Launchpad designer component. Near the end of the video I will try to add the new tile to the launchpad.
For this tutorial I will assume that you have admin access to the SAP system because you will need to modify a standard SAP component. Also, I assume that the SAp WebIDE landscape is set up and running as you will be using it for the development and the deployment. Other methods can be used as well, like manual uploading or using of the Eclipse IDE but this will not be covered in the tutorial.
First of all, you need to log into the SAP system that you wish to modify and start the transaction for the Fiori Designer. This is done using the transaction code /ui2/flpd_CUST.
Once the designer is loaded, open the developer console using the F12 key and navigate to the Network tab.
At the end of the URL you need to add sap-ui-debug=true in order to force the UI5 engine to load all the files. Due to the magic of editing, you do not need to wait at these very moment, but beware this is a long wait time.
Now that the files were loaded, you need to filter by the word "Dynamic". You should have three files left in the list. Save the content of the files to a temporary folder using your favorite text editor.
After you saved these three files, click one tile and wait for the next batch of files to be loaded. Now you should filter by the word "Configuration" and repeat the saving process for files configuration.view.xml and configuiration-dbg.controller.js.
After having the files saved, you need to create an SAP WebIDE project.
Please open your WebIDE and create a new project from template. Select SAPUI5 Application and enter the required fields. This will be the project that you will be working on.
Next, you need to delete the unnecessary files and import the files that you have saved earlier. They can be uploaded as a batch if you add them to a .zip file.
Create a new folder inside the webapp folder and name it myKpiTile. In this folder you will move both the views and the controller files.
Rename the app._launcher file to kpiLaunchar_dynamic.chip.xmland. Edit it in order to change the view path and the name of the custom tile.
Now set the view name to mykpitile.myTile.view.js and the title of the tile to "mydynamictile "and the description will be created by tutorial.
Rename the configuration controller also and get rid of the debug tab in the name.
You will need to update the namespace and the name of the view in the actual files as well, this can be done using the search and replace function by pressing ctrl+f . Using this you will change the previous namespace with ypur current path that is myKpiTile and the name of the View to myTile. This needs to be changed in the controller file as well and can be done in the same way.
In order to register the application as a CHIP you will need to deploy it as a BSP application in the SAP system. As you can see here, I had some issues while deploying the application because I forgot to delete some unnecessary files. You only need the files that you saved to be present in the project, or else it will crash while deploying.
You will now move to transaction se80 to check if the application was successfully deployed. After making sure that the deployment was successful, you can move on to registering it as a CHIP. This will be done using transaction code /ui2/chip.
Fill out a name and create the CHIP. Fill in the URL for the BSP application, the display name and the description. As this is a CHIP and not a regular UI5 application, don't forget to include the path to kpilauncer_dynamic.chip.xml.
Now that the CHIP was successfully registered, you can move ahead and include the new CHIP in the Fiori launchpad designer component. This can be done by launching the CUSTOMIZE_COMPONENT from transaction code se80 or by following the URL provided in the description.
You will need to have admin permissions in order to modify the standard component. Adjust the component chip_catalog_config and the configuration id will be Fiori Launchpad catalogue.
Let's check again the name of the CHIP that you created, Z_mytuttile. Be careful, there is no whitespace there. Now you can save it, assign it to a transport and it will be added to the system.
Let's go back to the Fiori Launchpad designer and try to add a new tile. As you can see, my custom tile: mY tutorial TILE is now present as an option to be added. Unfortunately, there is nothing different from the standard dynamic tile at the moment, but that will be changed in the second part of this tutorial.
I hope these first part of the two-episode tutorial was helpful for you. Do not miss the following part, in order for you to get a general understanding of the process. If you have any questions about this tutorial, don't hesitate to contact me. I will happily answer them.
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, this video is the third part of the tutorial series SAP Fiori Customization Samples.
The first part of this series shows you how to create an SAP Fiori Launchpad on the SAP Cloud platform and add apps on the Fiori Launchpad (German version available here).
The second part explains you how to customize your Fiori Launchpad.
The third part exemplifies you how to configure Single Sign-On between a Fiori Launchpad deployed on a BW system and SAP Business Objects.

Ej att förväxla med pingstpastor Erik Edin (1925–2009), far till journalisten Pelle Edin och musikerna Lasse och Bertil Edin från Edin-Ådahl.

Erik Johan Edin, född 23 januari 1920 i Hällesjö, Jämtland, död 21 november 2002 i Maria Magdalena församling, Stockholm, var LP-stiftelsens mångårige föreståndare, författare samt politiker (folkpartist).

Biografi
Erik Edin, som själv hade en missbrukarbakgrund, engagerades av Lewi Pethrus för att på 1950-talet inom Pingströrelsen bygga upp hjälparbete bland missbrukare. Han blev 1959 föreståndare för LP-stiftelsen som kom att bedriva omfattande behandlingsverksamhet. När verksamheten var som störst fanns 450 behandlingsplatser och 400 anställda fördelade på en rad olika platser runtom i landet, däribland det tidigare nöjespalatset Nalen i Stockholm. Man bedrev också industriell verksamhet i till exempel Järbo där man bland annat tillverkade furumöbler. Man övertog också Venngarns slott av staten och bedrev också där vård av missbrukare - speciellt kvinnor. Efter att stiftelsen 1997 gått i konkurs startade Edin en ny verksamhet med centrum i Venngarns gamla lokaler under namnet Erik Edin-stiftelsen.

Erik Edin var även politiskt aktiv och var under en period 1987 ersättare i riksdagen i Stockholms kommuns valkrets för Birgit Friggebo.

Edin begravdes den 19 december 2002 i närvaro av bland annat Lars Leijonborg och Alf Svensson (partiledare fp resp kd) och Karin Söder och Gertrud Sigurdsen (fd partiledare c resp fd socialminister). Erik Edin är begravd på Norra begravningsplatsen utanför Stockholm.

We advise students —so we've got lots of advice for you. Below you'll find our guidelines about what to do before you apply, while you're applying, and if you're preparing for an interview. Preparing to apply for a nationally competitive fellowship begins long before the actual application. It starts when you get to Hopkins.
But why not hear it straight from students who've already gone through the application process?
The classes that you choose during your undergraduate career should reflect the passions and interests that you will write about in your application essay. And they should give you a strong foundation for pursuing graduate studies and/or an independent research project. While your GPA is important in fellowship competitions, so is your selection of classes.
From your first semester, you should work to build up your research profile. Depending on discipline, this could mean seeking research training working in a lab; developing an original research project and seeking the support of a Provost's Undergraduate Research Award (PURA), Dean's Undergraduate Research Awards (DURA), or Woodrow Wilson Undergraduate Research Fellowship; or writing an undergraduate thesis.
Internships and active participation in volunteer work are essential components of a strong fellowship application. From your first semester, volunteer for an organization linked to your interests. The JHU Center for Social Concern can connect you with such community service opportunities and internships. Once you have explored fellowship options, you may choose to involve yourself with a specific type of service activity that increases your chances for that fellowship. For example, students wishing to apply for a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship will want to engage in tutoring or teaching activities that offer experience working in a classroom or one-on-one. The key is not quantity, but quality—aim for a deep level of involvement in a smaller number of experiences that are linked with your interests and thus the narrative of your application.
To apply for almost anything, you'll need letters of recommendation. These are most often academic letters of reference. From your first semester onward, cultivate relationships with your advisers and other professors, particularly those in your field. Attend their office hours to discuss readings for their classes, share your interests and goals, and ask their advice about coursework. They can also provide helpful advice about selecting graduate school programs. Once you decide which fellowship(s) you will apply for, ask faculty at least one to two months in advance to write a letter of recommendation. For most nationally competitive fellowships, letters written by professors—and not graduate students and instructors—carry the most weight. And not all recommendations are academic references. For some fellowship applications, letters from internship or service experiences can be highly relevant.
A number of fellowships give grantees the chance to live abroad; many require at least some knowledge of a foreign language. Studying abroad during your undergraduate career naturally demonstrates your ability to adapt to life in a foreign country during a post-graduate fellowship—something you'll want to emphasize in your application for that fellowship. By learning one or more languages, you not only open the door to additional fellowship opportunities, you also facilitate your ability to conduct future research in your chosen country.
While most nationally competitive fellowships require that students are in their senior year at time of application, a few award programs are geared toward freshman and sophomores. Begin researching fellowships during your freshman year, and take the steps listed above to put yourself in the most competitive position possible. Please note that some internal JHU deadlines for fellowships fall up to six months before the official deadline.
Many fellowship applications require two primary essays: a personal statement and a research statement (though not always titled as such). These essays are intended to complement each other. Therefore, be sure to read over your drafts with an eye for avoiding repetition and ensuring that you write a consistent narrative in both essays, a narrative that aligns with all parts of your application.
The winning essays that are available for you to read in our office or the Office of Study Abroad are seventh, tenth, or even twentieth drafts. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to start the writing process early. Ask your friends and advisors to critique your essays, send us your drafts so that we can provide you with feedback, and schedule an appointment with the writing center to work on the mechanics of your writing. It is not necessary to ask people who know your topic well to critique your work; in fact, sometimes it is better to ask a non-specialist to examine your essays since such people often compose the majority of a fellowship committee.
Letters of support are a crucial part of your application. They serve to complement your essays and the rest of your application; they allow a fellowship committee to hear impressions of your character, intellect, and drive from others.
It is advisable to select professors who know you well as a person, (i.e., you have made the effort to attend their office hours and interact with them outside of the classroom), who know your research well, and on whom you have made a favorable impression. The best-known professor in your department is not the best selection, unless she/he fulfills the above criteria. The strongest letters are those that demonstrate knowledge of the student's project and, therefore, highlight the project's significance and that can give precise, memorable examples of how *you* are a superior candidate for the particular fellowship. When considering whom to ask for a letter, the key question is: Who is motivated to write on your behalf?
Approach your referees early. Whenever possible, ask them in person to write a letter of recommendation at least one to two months in advance of the fellowship deadline. We highly recommend involving them in the early stages of your application process, while you are deciding how to present yourself in the application materials. Their insights will prove invaluable and they will be well-informed of your interests when they write their recommendations. Make an appointment to talk with each prospective referee and begin the conversation with a discussion of your goals and interests before asking for a letter of recommendation.
The last item is very important, as each program has a different nature, purpose, location, and focus. You want to give your referees the information they need to write the best letter possible for the specific fellowship you've chosen.
And keep in touch with your recommenders after the fellowship process. Send them a brief thank you note and give them updates on your progress through the stages of the competition, even if you're not selected. Should you need a recommendation in the future, this kind of follow-up communication will continue to foster a close, positive relationship with your letter writers.
Ask a friend to conduct a mock interview with the questions that we supply and ones that you find through a Google search, etc. You can also make flashcards with interview questions to practice on your own.
From your first practice interview onward, use the timeframe of the actual interview. If the real interview is 25 minutes, make sure each practice one runs only 25 minutes. You need to develop a sense of how much – or how little – can be covered in a given time span.
Be sure to carefully read the website of the fellowship you are applying to, in order to become as familiar as possible with its requirements and goals. For instance, for the Fulbright grant, each country has slightly different requirements even if the application is the same across the board. For another example, you should be prepared to answer what you will do during the fall semester if applying for a program whose start date is in January. And, of course, you should be able to succinctly answer how you are equipped to fulfill the particular goals of the fellowship.
Arrive at the interview with two or three strengths in mind—specific examples what make you an excellent candidate for the particular fellowship. Be sure to get these in, whether in response to an interviewer's question or at the end when given the opportunity to add anything else.
Arrive at the interview knowing what you wrote in your application backwards and forwards. Interviews can take place several months after you handed in your application, yet the interview panel likely has read your application the night before and might ask precise questions about details of what you wrote. At the same time, be ready for the possibility that the interview strikes out in a new direction and only barely references your written application materials.
Be on time. In fact, be at least 15 minutes early. Interviews are conducted back-to-back with interview rooms reserved for a limited time. If you are late and miss your interview there are no make-ups.
The informal talk that takes place before and after the interview itself is also important, because the committee is learning about you as a person during this time. Be sure to remain professional from the moment you walk into the room until you leave.
Greet each interviewer individually by making eye contact, shaking hands, and smiling.
From the start, treat the interview like a discussion. Don't be on the defensive.
Be sure to regularly meet eyes with all members of the interview panel, not only the person who asks you a question.
Keep your answers concise and precise. Imagine a 60-90 second initial response to each question. Interviewers will ask follow up questions if they wish to know more.
Answer the question directly in the first couple of sentences. If a yes/no question, state "Yes, I find that…," etc. If seeking a piece of information, let us know this information right away: "The biggest challenge to US national security in East Asia is…" Stating your answer up front allows you to better organize your response and to let the interviewers know immediately what they're listening for.
Don't be afraid to ask an interviewer to clarify a question. It's also perfectly acceptable to answer with "I don't know." At the same time, try not to stop at "I don't know" but instead pivot to another related topic you are comfortable talking about. This can keep the interview's conversational tone intact.
Avoid saying "never" or "always," as they invite assured challenges from the interviewers.
Keep relaxed, smile, and take your time. The people interviewing you want to be there and are excited to learn about you and your research.
When the interview is completed, thank the panel for their time.
[T]he NFP helped expand the vocabulary with which I could discuss the places I hoped to go and those that I had come from…The inward benefits of piecing apart ideas and putting together applications were as great for me as those outwards ones.

John Michael Talbot
In the northwest corner of Arkansas, atop one of the picturesque Ozark Mountains, sits The Little Portion Retreat and Training Center, owned and operated by the Brothers and Sisters of Charity community. Here you will find Little Portion's founder and benefactor, Christian singer/songwriter and monk, John Michael Talbot.
John Michael was born into a musical Methodist household in Oklahoma in 1954. He began playing piano and drums when he was six years old, and later took up the banjo, dobro, and guitar. He left school at 15 and together with his brother Terry, began his musical career as a guitarist for the country folk/rock band Mason Proffit. The group produced five albums during the '60s and early '70s, before disbanding just as they were on the brink of stardom.
Talbot became disillusioned with the rock music life. He never did drugs, and after a concert where Mason Proffit shared the stage with Janis Joplin, Talbot looked out over the arena floor, now strewn with empty wine and whiskey bottles and drug paraphernalia. "Suddenly it all seemed empty, sad."
Following the breakup of the band, John Michael began a spiritual exploration that included Native American religion, Buddhism, and finally the Bible. As members of the '70s Jesus Movement, John and his brother helped lead the way in the contemporary Christian music scene. By the end of the decade, John had written and recorded several albums, but had withdrawn from the public eye to pursue his increasing interest in St. Francis of Assisi. In 1978 he joined a secular Franciscan order in Indianapolis. He started The Little Portion, a house of prayer, and planned to live as a hermit. But having had a taste of his mellow and reflective new sound, people clamored for more, and so he started his music ministry.
In 1982 he and six friends moved to the Ozark Mountains, where Talbot had bought 25 acres while on tour with Mason Proffit. They established The Little Portion Hermitage. There are currently about 37 members of his Brothers and Sisters of Christ community, plus another 500 worldwide. Like Talbot, all the members have taken vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, and work to provide help to those in need.
Talbot likes to experiment with his music by combining text, music, and instruments of past and present, thereby spanning the ages. The Dove Award winner has raised millions of dollars, along with public awareness, for Mercy Corps International, a Christian emergency relief agency that helps people worldwide. In 1988 he was awarded Mercy Corps International's Humanitarian of the Year award.
Talbot, who has also written 13 books, had been nominated for the Dove Award 10 times and won in 1982 for Album of the Year with Light Eternal. His expansive discography lists 39 titles, recorded from 1976 to the present, with the most recent project being The Pathway Series, six instrumental albums designed for quiet contemplation. What makes him so prolific? "If you have something good, you're not afraid to share it," he says. And his fans, having bought over 4 million albums, have found something good with his soothing tenor voice and virtuosic guitar playing.
