Murakami Festival Amsterdam – Where is Booktunes?
Posted by Erik at Booktunes in Booktunes, Booktunes Compilations on December 22, 2013
Amsterdam has a Murakami Festival coming up! On Januari 11th, 15 small book clubs will spread throughout the city centre to read and discuss their favourite author. Hosted by the likes of Anna Drijver, Jeroen Vullings and Philip Huff this could be a fun nite out. If you do have tickets for this sold out Litfest you will get a bonus: an advance copy of Murakami's yet to be published De kleurloze Tsukuru Tazaki en zijn pelgrimsjaren (Colourless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage).
I do feel a tad bit sad missing out on this event. Once I completed my studies with a thesis on Mr. Murakami, and in the early days of Booktunes we were part of the 1Q84 book launch taking care of the musical program. "Well, Booktunes is on the back burner and you are reading Bukowski at the moment" is what my wife said.
Her remark got me thinking. Would I want to play (a role) at this fest? How? What about my plans regarding Booktunes in general? When do I see Job & Mina again and decide where to take this project?
Regarding the first and second question: Maybe not. I quit dj-ing and don't see any other role for me on festivals. Seriously.. personally.. festivals, public performances and get-togethers are music things. I do like to share thoughts on books, but preferably with my brother or Will (who is great).
The happening did get me fired up on the future of Booktunes though. I would love to build a new site that would function as a music and knowledge base for all music related books. An online community? Essential and a starting point will be the option to listen to the tunes straight away, no matter where you are. To have tunes at hand while reading.
So I re-upped the original Booktunes Soundtrack for Murakami's After Dark. A good opportunity to start testing some new music players as the WordPress audio options are way too basic (arent they?). Basic, but still worth tuning in to listen to some Murakami music and get ready for the festival on Januari 11th. Enjoy!

How do you get the hardest whitewater shot ever? Easy, you just repel down a cliffside, use a flash that's 800-times brighter than an Iphone and have one of the best whitewater paddlers go off a massive waterfall over and over. Ok…not easy at all. But that is exactly what Michael Clark and Rafa Ortiz did to some of the most unique whitewater camera shots ever.
Check out how they did it in the video below:

Ivan came in and cleaned all of our carpets, including one heavily pet stained carpet. After he was done the carpets looked like new. He was on time, super friendly, great pricing, I could not ask for more. I will be having him come back every 6 months for maintenance cleanings, as well as have him pressure wash the house this summer. So hard to find a company these days that really gives you your moneys worth when offering a service. Pro Green does that and beyond.. Phenomenal job guys.. You have a customer for life here.. Highly recommended.

Tex Mex Stuffed Potatoes
Share this recipe with others: Tweet
Prep: 15 min. • Cook: 10 min. • Serves: 4
- 4 (about 1 ½ lbs.) Biggins® potatoes, scrubbed
- ⅓ c. reduced-fat sour cream
- ¼ c. buttermilk
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp. prepared tomato salsa
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
- ½ c. coarsely grated Monterey Jack or sharp Cheddar cheese (2 oz.)
Pierce potatoes with a fork and wrap individually in a double thickness of paper towels. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Rotate the potatoes and microwave on high until tender, about 5 minutes more. Unwrap the potatoes and let cool slightly. Cut off a ¼-inch thick slice along the top of each potato. Carefully hollow out the potatoes with a melon baller or teaspoon, leaving the shells. Put the insides in a medium bowl, and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add sour cream, buttermilk, cilantro and salsa; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Fill the shells with the potato mixture. Arrange the potatoes in a microwave-safe pie plate or baking dish. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on High until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese and serve.

Yes, I want to join Keep Michigan Food Affordable and tell Lansing to pass legislation that keeps our food and beverages tax-free. Sign me up for updates.
Click here to verify that you are above the age of 13 and have read our privacy policy.
Keep Michigan Food Affordable is a group of business and community leaders who are calling on Michigan lawmakers to make sure food remains affordable, something Michigan families count on. Join us and say YES to tax-free food and beverages.
Michigan lawmakers are considering legislation that would prevent cities and municipalities from passing taxes on food and beverages. Why? Because we need to make sure these grocery items remain tax free – for the good of local businesses and the hard-working families who rely on affordable choices. In 1974, the voters of Michigan made food and beverages tax free and we want to ensure that sentiment is protected at all levels of government in the state.
We're working to put Michigan taxpayers first. We've seen what's happened in other states that have passed local food or beverage taxes. Jobs have been lost, prices have skyrocketed, small businesses have suffered and customers have fled city, county, and state lines to purchase the food and beverages they want.
Let's make sure Michigan paves the way forward.
Recent experiences in states like Illinois and Pennsylvania prove it's not. Too often, when government faces a budget problem, its first reaction is to take more of our money by raising taxes. We've seen it happen time after time after time. Michigan families already pay enough taxes.
The Michigan Food Access and Affordability Act will prevent local governments from going around the state constitution which prohibits taxes on food and the will of the voters by imposing local taxes on food and beverages. It's a common sense, good government initiative that puts Michigan taxpayers first – especially low and middle-income families who would be hit hardest by a regressive tax on their food.
Yes. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Cook County (greater Chicago), Illinois, have recently instituted local food or beverage taxes. As a result, hundreds of jobs have been lost, prices have skyrocketed, small businesses have suffered and customers have fled city and county lines to purchase the food and beverages they want.
The moves have drawn widespread, bipartisan opposition from taxpayers, farmers, business leaders, labor unions and state lawmakers.
Where pro-tax advocates have not been successful in their influence of local government officials, they have taken the effort to the ballot box. Most recently Santa Fe, New Mexico voters turned out in large numbers and decisively rejected a beverage tax.
Yes. Since 2008, voters and/or legislatures in 44 different state and local governments have rejected food and beverage sales taxes. Prohibiting a new regressive tax on food and beverages in Michigan will be following national best practices.
Real world evidence shows us that taxes on grocery items do not make people healthier. A study on the beverage tax in Mexico which took effect in 2014 found that the tax resulted in 4.9 fewer calories consumed per day out of an average daily diet of 3,024 calories, an amount not even measurable on a bathroom scale. The latest report on obesity rates from the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey showed obesity in Mexico has gone up since the tax was implemented.
A study on the Berkley beverage tax by a proponent of the tax found that the tax resulted in an average reduction of 6 calories per person, or less than a pound per year. In fact, the calorie reduction was greatly offset by a 32-calorie increase in purchases of non-taxed beverages. This means the calorie increase caused by the tax is five times that of the calories reduced by the tax.
If we want to get serious about addressing obesity, people need information and choices, not taxes that unfairly single out certain items.
Quite the contrary. Driving away small grocers and retailers with new local taxes would increase and expand food deserts in Michigan, making it more difficult for families to purchase the healthy foods and beverages they want and need.
A study conducted by economist Jason Fletcher at the Yale School for Public Health and published in the Journal of Public Economics also found that "... any obesity-related benefit of decreased soda consumption that comes from a soda tax is, on average, more than offset by the increased caloric consumption from other beverages." The study also reported that "[A] 6-calorie reduction in soda consumption is accompanied by an 8-calorie increase in milk consumption and a 2-calorie increase in juice and juice drink consumption."
Taxes on food and beverages hurt working families – and their jobs and wallets – more than anyone. According to researchers, a sales tax on grocery items is among the most regressive taxes in existence. They also kill jobs and slash hours for working men and women everywhere they're tried. That's why Republicans and Democrats, business owners and labor unions have stood together across the country to oppose these taxes.
According to the Tax Foundation, "families with high incomes (defined at $100,000 annually) suffered harm of $24.29, half the harm of $47.38 incurred by poor families (defined at $20,000 annually)."
According to researchers at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington D.C., food and beverage taxes are "four to five times as high for poorer families as for upper income families." "Few taxes are so regressive."

Primary tabs
"Extent, &c. - The parish of Stirling is chiefly confined to the town. The whole land in it does not exceed 200 acres. The castle, the constabulary, by which is meant a small portion of land, formerly annexed to the office of constable, are not reckoned in the parish of Stirling. As little are the Royal Domains, or King's park. They are exempted from all parochial assessment, and are in the parish only quoad sacra, and that only since the chaplain ceased to officiate, or reside in the castle. The landward part of the parish lies between the town and the Forth. It extends along the south side of the river, from Kildean, about a mile above the bridge of Stirling, to the east fo the town, with some parks on the south of it. These lands, on an average, are rented at 50 s. per acre. The small village, called the Abbey, which occupies the place where the celebrated Abbacy of Cambuskenneth, and which is situated in a northern link of the Forth, east from Stirling, has hitherto, along with the barony of Cambuskenneth, in which it is situated, been reckoned part of the parish of Stirling. What gave rise to this arrangement is not known, unless it was, that the servants belonging the Abbacy worshipped in Stirling; or that the Canons, Monks or Friars of that monastery, performed divine service, in the church of Stirling, and formed a kind of connexion which continued to subsist after the reformation. One thing is certain, that it has subsisted; for there is actually a seat in the church of Stirling, alloted for the inhabitants of that village; and it appears, that an elder from it has sat in the session of Stirling, almost uniformaly since the year 1559. The barony of Cambuskenneth pays a part of the stipend of the first minister of Stirling; but it is subject to poor's rates in the parish of Logie, and to the jurisdiction of the sherriff of Clackmannan. The commissary of Stirling also exercises his jurisdiction over it, as part of the parish of Stirling; and the commissary of Dunblane exercises his jurisdiction, as lying within the parish of Logie.

Description and Travel
- The transcription of the section for Stirling from the National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868).
- See also Edinburgh University's "Gazetteer for Scotland"
Scotland's sixth city and the largest settlement and administrative centre of Stirling Council Area, Stirling lies between the River Forth and the prominent 122m (400 feet) high crag on top of which sits Stirling Castle. Situated midway between the east and west coasts of Scotland at the lowest crossing point on the River Forth, it was for long a place of great strategic significance. To hold Stirling was to hold Scotland.

Hello My Friends in Health and Strength,
As one of my Christmas gives I am motivated strongly to donate to local food banks. This is pressing to me because increasingly young people, including students and what are called the walking working, are forced to visit food banks for sustenance. I am thinking right now, not only of my own daughters who are students (three of the four are in school and Mamma T didn't pay their way), and I worry for the people I haven't met who are in a similar situation.
In my local community there are countless food drives and I feel these places close to home are the areas we can make the biggest impact. Your dollars, cans and dried goods will serve people right in your area, so that is a direct impact of bounty which you and I can make happen. I have goods lined up and ready to go for donation at Zehr's (our local super grocer), the Orangeville Food Bank and Caledon Food Banks.
I urge you to seek out a food bank and make your donation of goods today. You will absolutely change someone's life for the better. Many of the people visiting food banks are not there because they are too lazy or unmotivated to care for themselves, they simply don't have the means. We can help.
Review my list of food banks below to learn where you can go to make a donation or volunteer. This is by no means an exhaustive list of North American food banks, but a great place to start. I encourage you to look online to find the food bank nearest you.
Hugs and giving,

Due to the highly-publicized events in Flint, Michigan and in other parts of the country, consumers are becoming more aware of just how bad lead can be for their health. However, unbeknownst to many, there are a multitude of products that contain trace amounts of lead.
One of the biggest industries where this truth comes across is in cosmetics; many lipsticks, lip glosses, lip liners, eye shadows, and lotions contain the element. While the amounts are too low to do any kind of immediate damage, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released guidelines that will decrease its use even further, to no more than 10 parts per million (ppm).
"[The FDA] has concluded that a recommended maximum level of 10 ppm for lead as an impurity in cosmetic lip products and externally applied cosmetics would not pose a health risk. We consider the recommended maximum lead level to be achievable with the use of good manufacturing practices and to be consistent with the 10 ppm maximum lead level for similar products recommended by other countries," the agency said.
Advocacy groups want more
The FDA arrived at its 10 ppm figure after thoroughly investigating several different lipsticks and their lead content. Its findings suggest that allowing for 10 ppm of lead would not pose a "significant health risk" to consumers. A previous study by the FDA of 400 cosmetic lip products found a wide range of lead levels – ranging from 0.026 ppm to 7.19 ppm. Eye shadows had a higher range of lead content, ranging from 6.7 ppm to 9.4 ppm.
The FDA says that the impact of the lead in these products is likely reduced even further, since the products are only applied to small areas of skin. However, there are many advocacy groups who believe that the product is too dangerous and should be eliminated entirely.
"Lead has no place in personal care products, especially products marketed to children, who are especially vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead. While we welcome renewed attention from the FDA, we urge the agency to prohibit the presence of lead in lip products marketed to children and to require a warning on all personal care products that contain lead," said Scott Faber, senior vice president of the Environmental Working Group.
Faber goes on to call for additional oversight of cosmetic products and other dangerous substances, saying that "Congress should also act swiftly to reform cosmetics law to require FDA reviews of other dangerous substances in cosmetics. Sadly, lead is not the only toxin hidden in our personal care products."

Skogh, Hans-Emil and Haeggström, Jonas and Ghodsi, Ali and Ayani, Rassul (2006) Fast Freenet: Improving Freenet Performance by Preferential Partition Routing and File Mesh Propagation. In: The 6th International workshop on Global and P2P Computing on Large Scale Distributed Systems, (CCGRID 2006), May, 2006, Singapore.
The Freenet Peer-to-Peer network is doing a good job in providing anonymity to the users. But the performance of the network in terms of download speed and request hit ratio is not that good. We propose two modifications to Freenet in order to improve the download speed and request hit ratio for all participants. To improve download speed we propose Preferential Partition Routing, where nodes are grouped according to bandwidth and slow nodes are discriminated when routing. For improvements in request hit ratio we propose File Mesh propagation where each node sends fuzzy information about what documents it posesses to its neigbors. To verify our proposals we simulate the Freenet network and the bandwidth restrictions present between nodes as well as using observed distributions for user actions to show how it affects the network. Our results show an improvement of the request hit ratio by over 30 times and an increase of the average download speed with six times, compared to regular Freenet routing.

Why do dictators love Johnnie Walker?
In a tiny village in the heart of the Afar region, in one of the most remote corners of Ethiopia, on a dusty shelf, in a bar that was scarcely more than a collection of chairs and stacks of dusty bottles sits a bottle of Johnny Walker. The sole recognisable bottle to our little group of adventurers, the little red figure in his distinctive tailcoat and pompous cravat winking back at us from the worn wooden shelf, a scene repeated in 1000's of bars throughout the continent.
Johnnie Walker is the world's most distributed spirit with the claim that six bottles of Johnnie Walker are sold throughout the world every second! This means that no matter where you venture, whether it's into the heart of Africa or the deepest recesses of Asia a bottle of Johnnie Walker will probably be available no matter how far your travels take you. Its history in Africa enjoys a colourful and long standing legacy – it came floating up the Zambezi river in the cases and trunks of Scottish engineers. The square bottle made it easy to pack and the high alcohol content means that whiskey remains drinkable even in the muggy surrounds of the African jungle. When I questioned my tour guide on the aforementioned trip to Ethiopia he told me that whiskey very much represented a sign of wealth in Africa. While everyone drank beer, the impression seemed to be, wrongly or rightly, that only the affluent indulged in a wee dram.
It's easy to see exactly how much a customer has spent; the various bottles are colour coded in order of price from the entry level red to the pricier black, green gold and the most expensive blue. There is also a raft of other iterations of the spirit which cater to the higher end of the market, including the wealthiest of the African ruling classes and the plethora of dictators who have dotted the continent over the last century. Johnnie Walker which has been around since 1908 floated out along the trade routes of the old empire into the darkest corners of the globe. When prohibition ended Johnnie Walker was able to meet the demand posed by the American market due to their adoption of the Coffey still which was rejected by the Irish distillers who had until that point been the world leaders in whiskey sales. The brand has built on this early success to become among the most recognisable spirit in the world.
"Johnnie Walker is a useful signifier of success," Nick Blazquez, the head of Diageo for Africa, told The Economist. As such, the company is downplaying the drink's Scottish origins, and marketing it purely as a status symbol. And the company is putting in the proper amount of thought, time, and money into the effort:
- A 20-story billboard on the side of a skyscraper will stridently sell the citizens of Nairobi on the merits of Johnnie Walker Black.
- Print ads featuring Olympic gold medallist Haile Gebrselassie will run throughout Africa, in a deal reported to be worth $100,000 to the Ethiopian runner.
- The company has a history of training bar staff in the finer points of serving Scotch, a drink many have never worked with before.

Robert Mugabe, Kim Jong –Un and Mohammar Qaddafi are three of the world's most infamous dictators who had in common not only a love of power but also a confirmed penchant for whiskey and specifically Johnnie Walker. Mugabe celebrated his 85th birthday with 2,000 bottles of Moet champagne along with 500 bottles of the Scottish spirit. As incomes across Africa have increased so too has the continent's appetite for Scotch. The world's burgeoning middle classes in places like Africa, China, and India are helping to fuel the massive rise in demand for whiskey worldwide. The last available figures show that demand for whiskey increased 34% between 2009 and 2010, with Johnnie Walker outperforming the market aided in no small part by sales in East Africa doubling to 790,000 litres in 2010.
Thus the simple answer to our initial question seems to be that Johnnie Walker is the most readily available spirit which can be used as a conspicuous display of wealth to anyone who's watching. Research made available through Diageo (Johnnie Walker's parent company) suggests that the rest of the African continent can be convinced to trade up from their locally brewed beers, just as other emerging markets have. In countries and regions where the chief currency is power, and appearances fuel the perception of that power, symbolism becomes king. It seems as though even the most power driven individuals of the world will still bow before one monarch – His Majesty, Johnnie Walker.

The official StarCraft II Australian launch was in Brisbane, but last night many keen video game fans rocked up at EBGames' George St store in Sydney at midnight to pick up a copy of Blizzard Entertainment's latest flagship game StarCraft II.
First the retailer's staff held a trivia quiz, complete with some tricky questions. Just what was the name of the StarCraft game that was never published? And what are the three abilities of the Zerg Queen in StarCraft II?
But then after another half hour of patience the decade-long wait for StarCraft II was over and the first copies were sold in Sydney.

To makes matter worst give the machina caculater his duty up and so sit here yet and write like his ancestors with pen and paper . Normaly had he not so much work to do but moon festival starts soon and with that start the intrigue between great and the small clans too . The most reports was accusations against other people with demonic activation as backround . The most conclusion are wrong or imanigary but the people hope they can use the templar for her affairs . Thats idea make Wasil so angry thats he push stronger on the paper with his pen .
The pen break and the balck ink flow over the report .
" Godammed Sharres , this f**** pen is so f**** useless . I ... " Wasil stop is wild barking and look ashamed to the sharres statue on the wall .
" Sorry great mother , you know i dont mean it so ." Exuse Wasil by the statue and tipp on his holy head tattoo .
Carfully clean he his table and take a new report . It was a another accusation from slave market . A femal naga named Lumibad was the holder from a slave house , her specialization was well trainend goblins . A Templar patrol hear rumors thats goblins are used for demonic things and a maded to redeyes . Wasil snort , its a another example how the common try to fought her personal problems out with the help of the kyrol clan . Wasil overflow the middel part in read the last part .
The slavehouse was closed for three days and was search from top to the floor . A clear clue for a demonic infection nonexistent , only a redeye in the personal service from Lumibad have not a license , nothing terrfyfing . Lumibad self give one of her adjutant , Milodaris is his name , the fault of this misunderstanding . She fire him on day before . From him left every trace in Chel , eye witness told the templar patrol thats he pass a gate to ravean .
This sorts of *missundertsandings* have wasil daily in this and his clan punish this sort of false statement . As Justicar was his holy duty to speak justice , he must send anybody after him to catch him and make a example on him .
But who can he send , everybody was on mission for the moon festival . Walis take up his glasses to relax his eyes as him come a idea .
He have anew one . Falma was her name , she was already dry behind her ears but not so important thats he can dispense for the mission . He push a gem on the wall to activate voice commnication with troop chamber an speak .

Quarterly Events
The second quarter of 2017 was relatively quiet from an enforcement perspective. Two Magyar Telekom executives settled cases that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") had filed against them, and two entities received declination letters from the Department of Justice ("DOJ").
In addition to the above-mentioned cases, statements by DOJ officials indicated that enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and cooperation with international regulators and prosecutor continue to be important priorities, despite a change in administration and leadership at the DOJ. DOJ officials also noted the importance of the FCPA Pilot Program in its efforts to root out instances of corporate bribery and corruption. Finally, in Kokesh v. SEC the U.S. Supreme Court held that disgorgement is subject to a five-year statute of limitations – which has potential to impact how long SEC FCPA investigations take.

The brand new President Barack Obama, whether wittingly or not, invested his whole political capital in reforming well being care in America. Good thing, as a result of medical insurance coverage costs for younger men in my state are 2 to three occasions what they was once. If my gender research diploma ever gets me a job, medical insurance will value me a fortune. Health Care Renewal is sponsored by FIRM, the Foundation for Integrity and Responsibility in Medicine, a US 501(c)three non-revenue. In 1992, a national well being care insurance program was initiated in Vietnam, and started to take effects in early 1993.
The lawsuit centered on two marquee ad claims that DeVry used for years but dropped in October in a settlement with the U.S. Training Division. Health is wealth;as a result of with out it nobody would have the ability to work productively and therefore, there can be petite chances and opportunities for earning and creating wealth.

Obamacare's insurance enlargement is on the path to trying like other security net programs we know, providing restricted providers to a predominantly low-revenue population. Whereas FDA continues to be a world chief in first-to-market medical products, larger investment within the FDA, together with bettering regulatory science, will help ensure the agency may help advance rising applied sciences while continuing to guard the public health.
The Obama Administration has made mental well being and substance use disorder parity a priority, and because of these efforts, greater than 170 million Individuals will benefit from improved insurance coverage protection for psychological health and substance use dysfunction care. I have been doing every part you suggest (except for the dietary supplements) & after vital weight loss I do really feel steady- but scared of the following assault. It additionally explains why the common individual retains returning to the conventional well being system regardless that well being enchancment isn't the end consequence. Susceptible" populations include people which can be medically-underserved due to inadequate well being protection, poverty, meals insecurity, or restricted English proficiency – among others. There may be inadequate funding in prevention (1.5% of health expenditure) and he or she asserted that there's even ageism in how that is spent.

Challenges In Building Maintenance
The construction of a building is not an easy task. There would be many factors that would have to be taken into consideration in order to finish a construction project in a successful manner. This would involve a lot of planning and implementation of those plans optimally. However, all the matters that are related to the building construction would not be over once the building is handed over. It would need to be maintained in an ideal manner. There are various matters that would need to be taken into consideration. Building maintenance has its own share of challenges as well. The way those who are in charge face these challenges would define the way that the building would stand the test of time. Therefore, it would be important for one to identify the challenges that could come and understand the ways that they could be faced.One of the main challenges that one would have to face in maintaining a building would be the water systems of the building. For any building there would be many water related systems.
The drinking water systems, the drainage systems and the right sewage systems would have to be maintained in a proper manner. The gullies would have to maintained in ways that they would not be blocked and it would be important to utilize pumps such as submersible pumps where necessary. When the possible challenges related to these areas are faced, it would be possible for one to have a building that would not have water blocks, leaks or any other related trouble.There would be certain challenges that would have to be faced depending on the climate and the area that the building is situated in.
As an example, if you building is situated in an area where there would be a considerable amount of rain, it would be ideal for one to install a stormwater treatment device. Such devices and other related equipment would have to be taken from reliable suppliers. What would be important is the way that one adapts to the changes in the external environment while applying the best suited solutions in building maintenance. When such matters are done attentively, it would be possible to maintain the building in an ideal manner ensuring that the building would serve its purpose well.Hence it should be understood that there are various challenges that would come to place with regard to the maintenance of a building. With the use of modern equipment and applying the right solution, such challenges could be faced in a proper manner.

The Marvel Universe has seen many momentous occasions: births, marriages, wars and deaths. As revealed early Sunday by the Associated Press, this Thursday in "Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America-Iron Man" writer Jeph Loeb and artist John Cassaday show readers another momentous occasion for the Marvel U - the funeral for one of its most beloved heroes, Captain America. CBR News spoke with both creators about the issue.
Like the other issues in the series, "Fallen Son: The Death of Captain American - Iron Man" was born when Loeb learned of Captain America's impending death. "I had missed a creative summit and Tom Brevoort had his head down and he's sort of mumbling his way through as he often does, 'In issue #25 Cap gets assassinated and dies. In Cap #26, the Falcon . . .'" Loeb told CBR News. "And I'm like, 'What! Wait a minute!' We then started talking about what eventually became 'Fallen Son.' JMS was the one who had the idea to do the five stages of grief. As soon as he said it I knew exactly what I wanted to do."
Loeb knew Iron Man was the ideal star for the issue of "Fallen Son" that would involve the final stage in the grieving process - acceptance. "To me it was always a Tony Stark story because the impact of what had happened had the greatest value to play on Tony because if you don't read 'Captain America,' you don't know Cap's secondary characters. So, it's a very insulated story when it's just those people" Loeb explained. "But when you open it up to the whole Marvel Universe, then if you're an Avengers fan or a Fantastic Four fan, you understand how the rest of the Marvel Universe is dealing with this. It made for a really interesting way to tell the story."
Once he mapped out which characters would star in which issue, the next step for Loeb was to talk with "Captain America" writer Ed Brubaker. "He was so incredibly helpful," Loeb said. "He had already written issues #25 through #27 and Ed felt like the story that he wanted to tell - and I think he's right - was the aftermath of the funeral."
Brubaker told Loeb he had no plans to show Captain America's funeral in the pages of "Captain America" and went on to share some details already established about the funeral, which would play a major role in "Fallen Son - Iron Man." "Ed really liked how people had said to Sam Wilson [AKA the Falcon], 'I can't believe how moving your speech was. I wish I could have said some of those things,'" Loeb stated. "I thought that was a really interesting way to tell the story because I've been to enough funerals unfortunately that that aftermath is extremely accurate. It's the thing that people often say to you when you speak at a funeral. So I thought he had really captured that particular aspect."
Following his talk with Brubaker and as he worked away on "Fallen Son," Loeb began to get a sense that much like with the death of Captain America, the events in "Fallen Son" would not go unnoticed by the mainstream media. "I was glad I had the instinct that this story was the 'Death of Superman' for this generation, in that it's been more than ten years since the death of a comic book character got into mainstream media and became the story that everybody was talking about even if they didn't read comics," Loeb remarked. "While we're at war you can't kill Captain America and not have every single newspaper in the country report on the story. The man wears the flag. So it went from being a little comic book story to sort of a statement on the political climate of the world right now. I think Ed was very happy with that and I really felt like if that was the case, then 'Fallen Son' was not going to go unnoticed."
It was the huge impact that Captain America's death had on both the comic book buying and general public that lead to Loeb's desire to write the funeral of the Sentinel of Liberty. "In doing the funeral there was really only one guy who could draw it and that was John Cassaday," Loeb said. "I said, 'We have to get Cassaday because there is no bigger Cap fan. There's nobody who has put their own signature on the character the way that John has.' Everybody in the room was like, 'Forget it. You'll never get him. He's doing the X-Men thing with Joss and he's got like forty other things to do.'
"Joe Quesada, to his credit, said, 'I want you to go to Joss first and make sure that it's cool,'" Loeb continued. "Fortunately Joss and I are friends. He didn't blink twice. He said absolutely and if they can work out the schedules it would be great. So, I pitched the story to Cassaday and I barely got three words past the funeral and he said, 'I'm in. We can work out the schedule. Let's do it.'"
Cassaday's feelings were mixed when he learned he was being given the chance to draw the funeral of his favorite comic character. "I knew that burying him would be a complicated experience and not completely unmorbid, as you might imagine," Cassaday told CBR News. "Regardless of what becomes of the character, this would be a real (if not final) chapter in his history. Jeph and I have been talking for years about working together and the death of Captain America had unique meaning to us both. Jeph specifically asked to write this series and I was his specific choice for the finale. I knew the outlets this story would present to him and how strongly he felt about it. Above all, Jeph is the reason I agreed to be involved. This would be a meaningful story."
Once Cassaday was signed on, Loeb was motivated to do something that he rarely ever does. "Because I have so much respect for Cassaday, very early on I got on the phone and I literally told him the whole story page by page. I hadn't written anything, but I wanted to let him know what I wanted to do, which was to tell the funeral and then have these big images of what Sam was talking about," Loeb explained. "They would be sort of these beautiful, almost posters of Cap's life. Some artists really respond to that and some are very intimidated by having to do that because it's a lot of very intricate detail work. You can't cheat that stuff, but that's the pool John swims in. There isn't any kind of big double page splash that he just doesn't make sing.
"So, the story became this really interesting and for me very personal challenge of combining very intense emotional story beats, which would be done sometimes in six panel grids, then the emotional release would be this beautiful painting or splash that would be Cassaday's rendering of what the character was talking about," Loeb continued. "So, there's a beautiful shot of Cap with an American tank liberating a concentration camp. There's a really cool action poster of the Invaders fighting the villains of that day like the Red Skull and Baron Zemo. I don't want to spoil all of them, but they go up to very recently."
When Loeb saw Cassaday's depiction of the funeral, he was blown away by what his artistic collaborator had done. "It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen," Loeb stated. "In the opening I said to him that it takes place in Arlington Cemetery and in the extreme foreground are the pallbearers, who are people that were close to Cap. Then in the background you see there's a memorial designed by Alicia Masters and everyone that's there for the funeral and I said that it's raining. So the way we can get away with not showing a thousand or tens of thousands of people is by showing tens of thousands of umbrellas. I figured John would draw three rows and you would figure that there were more beyond that. There must be a thousand umbrellas in that picture."
Cassaday made sure his art for both the funeral and the flashback sequences of "Fallen Son - Iron Man" accurately conveyed the proper mood and emotional impact, making sure all the attendees had appropriate reactions. "Everyone deals with death differently and I didn't want row after row of some kind of generic crying sadness," Cassaday explained. "Some are looking proudly on about who Steve was and some are simply still in shock. Part stoic, part lost. You run the gambit of human emotion when you consider the event. I've been to more than my share of funerals and the ones that matter the most remind us of what we had, not what was lost. The flip-side would be the flashbacks. Recreating magnificent epic chapters in Cap's career helped to balance out the downward mood of what the funeral would present. I wanted it to help place the reader in that 'proud to have known him' category."
Since the funeral and flashback sequences were such dynamically different events, Cassaday used different artistic techniques to depict them. "The funeral scene would be a moody affair, so I went with simple ink on paper and a middle range of rendering," Cassaday said. "On the flashbacks, I went full-on with ink rendering and graytones achieved with pencil and charcoal. In terms of color scheme, the funeral was a rainy overcast affair, so the palette would be very gray with most of the color sucked out. I also wanted no border line art in order to give the scene more sophistication as well as illustrating a greater difference to the flashbacks and remainder of the story. With the flashbacks, the coloring was all-out. Bumping up the saturation, we went with bright, beautiful, pure colors. I wanted these scenes to seem fresh and strong, while remaining a somewhat sentimental and romantic peek into an incredible journey.
"I think it would be knee-jerk of most writers to go for the easy doom and gloom, but Jeph covered the spectrum," Cassaday continued. "This is how life plays out. He kept it very real. Very human."
Loeb feels it was his artistic collaborator's attention to detail and willingness to commit himself that turned his script into something visually exciting and powerful. "You really get the impact of all the images and what the funeral was like from John's art," Loeb said. "Then it's beautifully colored by Laura Martin who just wakes up and turns on a computer and some how magic comes out of her hands. I don't understand how she does it and I don't want to understand. I just want to enjoy the hell out of it. It's so beautiful."
Loeb's artistic collaborators were able to recreate such a poignant experience as Captain America's funeral because the funeral was a very emotional thing for Loeb to write. "It's only been two years since I lost my son Sam and no one should have to go through that experience and certainly no one should have to go through the funeral part of that experience," Loeb said. "The piece that I chose to do at the funeral was that I wanted to show how many people's lives my son, Sam, had touched. It's difficult to understand, we were in this temple at the cemetery that would normally hold about four hundred people and there were about two thousand people. People were out on the lawn and they set up television sets. He was just so loved by so many different groups of people and I wanted to be able to acknowledge all of them.
"So I asked, 'If you knew Sam from high school please stand up. If you knew Sam because you were family please stand up. If you knew Sam from theater please stand up. If you knew Sam from comics please stand up,'" Loeb continued. "I went through the ten various places in his life that he had touched people's lives. There may have been more. Then I said, 'Now I want to show you something very magical.' And I said, 'Turn around.' Think about if you're at a funeral. You're looking at the stage, you're not looking at anybody else. What happened was that these very emotional people turned around and suddenly realized that everyone in the whole place was standing despite their differences in their ages and what they did for a living. They were all connected by the fact that they knew this great kid. It went from a sad moment to this kind of celebration that we were all sharing."
"I thought this was so personal to me in so many other ways that I really felt like it was okay to do that in the Marvel U, to have Sam ask for various members of different teams from different times because Cap's career spanned so many decades and affected so many different people," Loeb explained. "This was a chance to be able to show the reader the effects that Cap had not only on the superhero community, but on the entire world."
Given his personal experience, some people have asked Loeb about the choice of Sam Wilson to deliver Captain America's eulogy. "People who read the script, and even Richard Starkings who lettered it for us, asked me whether or not I chose Sam Wilson because of Sam Loeb," Loeb stated. "I said, 'No I didn't have anything to do with that. Brubaker actually picked that.' Tony was originally supposed to give his eulogy and then he couldn't because he was too emotionally overcome and then Sam got up and said what he was going to say. There are certain kinds of irony that you don't ask questions about. You just sort of let the universe tell you this is what is going to happen. I'm not a big believer in any of that stuff, but when it happens, you just sort of let it happen."
Each issue of the "Fallen Son" series has focused on how various Marvel heroes have dealt with their grief over Captain America's death, with Tony Stark a recurring character throughout, showing the different stages of his grief. Along with Cap's funeral, Stark's grieving process is one of the things that takes center stage in "Fallen Son - Iron Man." "In the Wolverine issue, Logan is so pissed and so badly wants to find a villain that he practically accuses Tony of having something to do with Cap's death. Tony's only response is that he lost a friend and in fact he probably lost his best friend. I really believe that," Loeb remarked. "When you get to the Hawkeye issue, you really see what Tony is struggling with and that he wants Captain America to live again so much that he is willing to try to convince Clint Barton that he could be Captain America and everything would be great if that would happen. The world won't let that happen. Hawkeye won't let that happen. Tony needs to go through the stages of grief in order to get to that place of acceptance. Whether or not he actually gets to that place I don't want to spoil for the reader because there is an ending which I would say is unexpected given what everybody knows about the story."
"Fallen Son - Iron Man" will play host to a large number of guest appearances, but due to the aftermath of "Civil War," not every Marvel hero is able to attend Cap's funeral. "There is a division between the New Avengers because Spidey says 'We should have gone.' And Wolverine's attitude is 'Yeah, so we can all get arrested.' And Jessica's attitude is 'Maybe we could have cut a deal. It was for Steve,'" Loeb said. "Iron Fist and Luke Cage are really sort of the voices of reason in saying, 'How could we possibly take that chance? And even if we did, how much more of a circus would this have turned in to?' Then it all lands back on Spidey, who says, 'I still think we should have gone.'
"I tried to take from experiences that I know of where people who live in the West and have a relative who died back East and they struggle with 'Should I have gone?'" Loeb continued. "'Would it matter to the person? Would it matter to the family?' It's a very personal and internal kind of thing which fortunately works very well with what's going on in the overall plot of the Marvel Universe. The idea that the New Avengers are criminals according to the Superhuman Registration Act becomes a great metaphor for the personal struggle that we have when someone dies; whether or not we want to take time from our lives, whether or not we can deal with it emotionally, or any of the other reasons why people don't attend a funeral, which are many."
For Loeb, everything about "Fallen Son" - from Wolverine's initial investigation up to Captain America's funeral has been a gratifying experience and made him remember why he's a comic creator. "I enjoy working in the field and I'm very proud of things like 'The Long Halloween' and 'Hush,' but other than the color books - 'Daredevil Yellow,' 'Spider-Man: Blue' and 'Hulk Grey' - I had been looking for something that I could write on that emotional level," Loeb explained. "Fortunately, this was the first thing that I got to do since I signed on with Marvel and it was extraordinary on so many levels. It was a story that came very easily and in many ways unfortunately because of what I had to experience in my life. But really it was great to have a chance to work with Lenil Yu and Ed McGuinness, of course, and John Romita Jr., which has always been one of my dreams. Also David Finch, who I insist that everything Dave does from now on he does with me. And then Cassaday and I have been dating for I can not tell you how long, but I could never get him to go home with me. To be able to get that done - even if it was only for one issue - was an unforgettable experience."

"The biggest room is the room for improvement."
This has been my motto for many years. And it has taken me to levels I never believed were possible.
I am thrilled to introduce my mindTV Training Program. It is the result of many intense years and thousands of sessions with children and adults. It really was the clients, that made mindTV what it is today. It was them, that led me to all my discoveries.
I now invite you to take the next step. To learn this exciting and highly effective visualization method.
At the core of every issue you will find an underlying negative feeling.
Kids and many adult clients find it difficult to see, understand and grasp a feeling. With mindTV you will learn exactly how to locate and then transform any feeling into an object. The child then has something to work with. Both the child and you will find it much easier to get rid of unwanted feelings.
Additional steps will help you restore balance and secure lasting results.
This is the secret, why mindTV will work so well for you.
A distressed mother turned to me seeking help for her daughter, 10 years old, experiencing painful jolts throughout the body. The doctors and neurologists had nothing left to offer. They gave the diagnosis of psychosomatic. This girl had a long history of ailments and had spent large parts of her young life connected to tubes in hospitals. Tied to the bed, she couldn't play with friends, leading to loneliness and sadness.
In the first session she visualized her mind room and quickly discover all sorts of alarm signals. In search for answers, it becomes clear that this girl is completely trapped in her own body. Negotiations with the body fail, so we resort to general clean up and resetting buttons.
In the following sessions the negotiations become more fruitful. Step by step we restore the balance of the Healthy Human Triangle. Despite steady general improvements, the jolts were still there. The fourth session proved to be the breakthrough. She finally becomes Boss of her Body.
2 ½ hours later, her mother confirmed, that the jolting had stopped. Goosebump moment.
The detailed outline of this case can be found in the main manual of the training program.

2) to successfully deal with the most frequent issues
3) to serve as inspiration for your own ideas

Granted, people are very different. Should the mindTV Method simply not fit your style, get in touch with our office. Let us know how you applied it and in which way it did not quite meet your expectations. We will refund you immediately. All refunds are discretionary.
mindTV is a world class product and we want to see world class people using it, loving it and having great success with it. Only by applying the principles can you recognize the true potential. We do not want you to just sign up to have a quick look. If you're not sure, just ask us. People that do have a genuine interest will be eager to try it the very next day anyway.
So, go for it. Get mindTV and start using it. And if you're not completely satisfied, get in touch. Yes, it's that easy.
While it's true that Sonya does seem to have an extraordinary feel for working with children, the biggest strength of mindTV is its simplified step by step procedure. Don't forget, the hardest part was getting to where she is today. It involved a lot of trying, failing, trying again. And again. And again. Until the results kept getting better. Thousands of sessions later, Sonya now uses this exact formula in her own sessions. It WILL work for you. And with all the add-ons you get an incredible set of tools that cover all the most common and difficult issues children are confronted with.
No shortage of trainings, courses and seminars out there, that's for sure. Not knocking any of the other methods; but we do strongly feel that most of them will still leave you wanting. Sonya also went through this for a long time. She spent a lot of time and money on all kinds of education and training. She then found the most promising bits and pieces of each training and eventually put them together in the puzzle that has become mindTV. The result is probably the most understandable, the most client AND practitioner friendly method to come along in many years. Especially for children, there simply is nothing comparable out there.
Well, we do admit that we're a little bit biased here :-).
Look, the truth is, in the field of "helping people" word of mouth is your only bet. Clients are immune to advertisements and bold claims, but not to stories. Having clients go out and tell their friends, will accelerate your business dramatically.
The best thing about helping children: Parents recognize the change and will also want to come to you.
YES, incredibly well! While the basic principles remain the same, you can just adapt some of the language and imagery to better suit the individual person. We strongly encourage you to apply this with anyone. Goose bump moments guaranteed.
In fact, part of the training program ist an adult extension. Also, quite a few add-ons are specifically designed for adult topics.
As an instructor herself, Sonya has trained people face-to-face for years. At first, she was indeed a little sceptical. She naturally assumed that live training had to be more effective and people wouldn't learn so well online. Then she discovered, that this was simply not true. Attendees of her live trainings would go home with the learning material, having heard everything only once. Days later they would remember only parts of what they had learned and really had nowhere to turn to, when questions came up. The mindTV training program allows you to try things out, watch the instructional videos over again. You can even freshen up shortly before session on your smartphone. And you can submit questions in your member area. We have found that learning, applying and coming back to reflect and review work exceptionally well and will have you working successfully with mindTV in no time.
No need to worry. You really just need to be able to use a keyboard, spell your name and know how to click on something with a mouse. Yes, it's that simple. A great deal of planning has gone into mindTV, to make it as easy to use as possible. The videos for example are streamed just like on YouTube - just push play. And if you do have an issue, our team will help you. Lightning fast.
