Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is once again about the hilarious Christmas story for children of all ages, Christmas Pig. Nick discusses Rowling's many interview statements about the Things which were lost and how many of them match up with things she has lost; he takes a deep dive into the Blue Bunny episode outside the Gates of the City of the Missed and Rowling's embedding herself and her daughter Mackenzie in the story. John talks about the Blue Bunny and his being “found” or “saved” as an allegory of the human condition written in the Rowling shorthand-symbols for (and obsessions with) love, salvation, and what is real.New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? Our second look at Christmas Pig with Nick explaining the history of the Murray Family and their beanie pig toys as well as a likely source for the defenestration of DP (in Esquire magazine, no less). John talks about the promise and the limits of reading literature through a biographical lens and then explains the anagogical meaning of the Power palace kangaroo court trial of CP and Jack.

There's much more work to do on this wonderful work!1. Chiastic StructureRowling's fixation on planning in general and with structural patterns specifically in all of her work continues in Troubled Blood. From the first reading, it became apparent that in Strike5 Rowling-Galbraith had taken her game to a new level of sophistication. She continued, as she had in her four previous Strike mysteries, to write a story in parallel with the Harry Potter septology; there are many echoes of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth and equivalent number in the Hogwarts Saga, in Troubled Blood. Just as Phoenix was in important ways a re-telling of Philosopher's Stone, so Troubled Blood also echoes Cuckoo's Calling — with a few Stone notes thrown in as well. The new heights of Rowling's structural artistry, though, extend beyond her patented intratextuality; they are in each of Strike5's first six parts being ring compositions themselves, the astrological chart embedded in the story chapters, and the six part and two chapters correspondence in structure between Troubled Blood and Spenser's Faerie Queen.* Structure Part One* Structure Part Two, Notes Two to Six* Structure Part Three, Notes One to Three* Structure Part Four, Notes One to Three, Eight, and Ten* Structure Part Five, Notes One to Four, Nine* Structure Part Six, Notes One to Four* Structure Part Seven, Ring Latch, Story Axis* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled Blood* Career of Evil Echoes* Order of the Phoenix Echoes* Cuckoo's Calling Echoes* Philosopher's Stone Echoes2. Literary AlchemyPer Nabokov, literary artistry and accomplishment are known and experienced through a work's “structure and style.” Rowling's signature structures are evident in Troubled Blood (see above) and her characteristic hermetic artistry, literary alchemy, is as well. Strike5 is the series nigredo and Strike and Robin experience great losses and their reduction to their respective and shared prima materia in the dissolving rain and flood waters of the story.* Strike's Transformation* Robin Ellacott and the Reverse Alchemy of the First Three Strike Novels* Lethal White as the Alchemical Pivot of the Strike Series* The Wet Nigredo: Troubled Blood's Black Names, Holiday Three Step, and Losses3. Psychology/MythologyRowling told Val McDermid that if she had not succeeded as a writer than she would have studied to become a psychologist:V: If it hadn't worked out the way it has. If you'd sat there and written the book in the café and nobody ever published it, what would you have done with your life, what would you have liked to have been?JK: There are two answers. If I could have done anything, I would have been really interested in doing, I would have been a psychologist. Because that's the only thing that's ever really pulled me in any way from all this. But at the time I was teaching, and I was very broke, and I had a daughter and I think I would have kept teaching until we were stable enough that we were stable enough that I could change.Because of her lifelong study and pre-occupation with mythology, it is fitting that in Strike5 readers are confronted with a host of references to psychologist Carl Jung and to a specific Greek myth which Jungian psychologists consider essential in understanding feminine psychology. All of which leads in the end to the Strike series' equivalent of the Hogwarts Saga's soul triptych exteriorization in Harry, Hermione and Ron as Body, Mind, and Spirit, with Robin and Strike as Handless Maiden and Fisher King, the mythological images of anima and animus neglected and working towards integration.* Carl Jung and Troubled Blood* A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus* The Anima and Animus: The Psychological Heart and Exteriorization of the Cormoran Strike Novels4. Valentine's DayThe story turn of Troubled Blood takes place on Valentine's Day and the actions, events, and repercussions of this holiday of Cupid and Heart-shaped candies, not to mention chocolates, shape the Robin and Strike relationship drama irrevocably. Chocolates play an outsized portion of that work symbolically, believe it or not; the word ‘chocolate' occurs 34 times in the first four Strike novels combined but 82 times in Troubled Blood. I explore the importance of this confection in two posts before beginning to explain the importance and appropriateness of Valentine's Day being the heart of the story, one that is in large part a re-telling of the Cupid and Psyche myth.* Troubled Blood: Interpreting the Poetry of Cormoran's Five Gifts To Robin* Troubled Blood: Poisoned Chocolates* Troubled Blood: The Secret of Rowntree* A Mythological Key to Cormoran Strike? The Myth of Eros, Psyche, and Venus5. Edmund Spenser's Faerie QueenTroubled Blood features several embedded texts, the most important of which is never mentioned in the book: Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queen. Serious Strikers enjoyed the luxury of not one but two scholars of Edmund Spenser who checked in on the relevance and meaning of Rowling's choice of the greatest English epic poem for her epigraphs, not to mention the host of correspondences between Strike 5 and Queen. Elizabeth Baird-Hardy did a part by part exegesis of the Troubled Blood-Faerie Queen conjunctions and Beatrice Groves shared her first thoughts on the connections as well. Just as Lethal White's meaning and artistry is relatively unappreciated without a close reading of Ibsen's Rosmersholm, so with Strike 5 and Faerie Queen.* Spenser's Faerie Queen (Above)6. The GhostsRowling's core belief is in the immortality of the soul and her favorite writer of the 20th Century is Vladimir Nabokov, whose work is subtly permeated by the otherworldly. No surprise, then, that Troubled Blood is haunted by a host of ghosts, most importantly the shade of Margot Bamborough but to include the women murdered by Dennis Creed and Nicolo Ricci. Their influence is so obvious and so important that it has spurred discussion of the spectres that haunt the first four Strike novels whose presence had not been discussed prior to the revelations of Strike 5.* Troubled Blood: The Dead Among Us* The Ghosts Haunting Troubled Blood* The Ghosts Haunting Cuckoo's Calling, Silkworm, Career of Evil, and Lethal White7. The NamesThe Cryptonyms or Cratylic Names of Troubled Blood are as rich and meaningful, even funny, as those found in Lethal White. From Paul Satchwell's “little package” to Roy Phipps as the Spanish King Phillip, from the nigredo black elements of Bill Talbot and Saul Morris to the Spenserian echoes of Oonaugh Kennedy and Janice Beattie, and the Rokeby-Oakden coincidences, Strike5 is full of name play. Did I mention that the detectives solve the mystery largely through their exploration of names? Douthwaite and Oakden only pop-up after Strike has revelations consequent to serious reflection on their names and pseudonyms. Rowling-Galbraith really wants her real-world readers to be reflecting on the Dickensian names of all her characters.* The Cratylic Names of Troubled Blood: A Top Twenty Round Up8. The Flints and GaffesRowling commented in one of her interview tableaus for Troubled Blood that she had worked extra hard to get the dates right in this most complicated of novels and that her proof reader and continuity editor found a big mistake. Serious Strikers, though, were left crying “Alas!” and laughing aloud at the number of bone-headed gaffes in The Presence's longest work to date. It remains her best as well as her longest book to date, but, really, get the woman the help she needs to comb the book for errors pre-publication. Can you say, “Isla”?* Troubled Blood: Flints, Errors, and Head Scratchers* Troubled Blood Gaffes: A Second Look at Ages and Dates9. The AstrologyThe principal embedded text in Troubled Blood, the one Robin and Cormoran read repeatedly, create keys for, and discuss throughout the book, is Bill Talbot's ‘True Book.' It features an astrological chart for the exact time and place of Margot Bamborough's disappearance in 1974, which map Talbot used to try and solve the case. Strike is profoundly disgusted by this approach but spends, as does Robin, much of his time trying to figure out the chart or at least what Talbot made of it. Troubled Blood, consequently, turns into something of an exploration of astrology and its relevance to understanding ourselves and the world. Unpacking what Rowling means by it, not to mention what the natal charts of Robin and Cormoran tell us about these charactes, their relationship, and Rowling-Galbraith's intentionally hermetic artistry, is a large part of the exegetical work to be done on Troubled Blood.* Nick Jeffery: Troubled Blood — The Acknowledgements* Part Three, Note Five* Troubled Blood: Strike's Natal Chart* Astrological Clock Structure of Troubled Blood* Astrological Allegorical: The Sun Signs of Characters in Troubled Blood* A Second Look at Talbot's Chart: What Does it Reveal to the Unbiased Eye?10. The Tarot Card SpreadsWe know that Rowling has significant skills when it comes to astrology. What is less well appreciated is that almost from childhood she has played with tarot card reading which knowledge has informed her work. This is comic in Trelawney, say, but comes to the fore in Troubled Blood‘s card spreads: the Celtic Cross in Talbot's ‘True Book,' his embedded three card spreads in the illustrations of that tome, and Robin's two readings, one in Laemington Spa and the other in her flat at story's end.* Part Three, Note Six* Part Four, Note Five* Part Five, Note Five* Part Six, Notes Five, Six, Eight* Bill Talbot's Tarot: The Embedded Occult Heart of Troubled Blood* Robin Ellacott's Tarot: The Missed Meanings of Her Twin Three Card Spreads in Troubled Blood11. Who Killed Leda Strike?To Rowling-Galbraith's credit, credible arguments in dedicated posts have been made that every person in the list below was the one who murdered Leda Strike. Who do you think did it?* Jonny Rokeby and the Harringay Crime Syndicate (Heroin Dark Lord 2.0),* Ted Nancarrow (Uncle Ted Did It),* Dave Polworth,* Leda Strike (!),* Lucy Fantoni (Lucy and Joan Did It and here),* Sir Randolph Whittaker,* Nick Herbert,* Peter Gillespie, and* Charlotte Campbell-Ross12. Embedded TextsAll of Rowling's novels feature books and texts, written work as well as metanarratives, with which her characters struggle to figure out in reflective parallel to what her readers are trying to do with the novel in hand. Troubled Blood is exceptionally laden with these embedded texts. Beyond Talbot's True Book and Spenser's Faerie Queen noted above, we are treated to selections from The Demon of Paradise Park, Whatever Happened to Margot Bamborough?, Astrology 14, and The Magus.13. The Murderers: Creed and BeattieA demon-possessed psychopath and the brain-damaged lonely woman… Each is described as “a genius of misdirection” and being without remorse or empathy. The actual murderers in Troubled Blood are distinct, certainly, but paired as well, as one of the many mirrored pairs in this story.14. FeminismTroubled Blood, Rowling has said, is a commentary of sorts on changes in the history of feminism. It is an unvarnished, even brutal exploration of the heroic age of the feminist movement, its front and back, largely through the personalities, circumstances, choices, and experiences of two pairs of women, Margot Bamborough and her plucky Irish side-kick Oonaugh Kennedy and the paired through time couple of Irene Bull-Hickson and Janice Beattie.15. Rokeby 3.0Jonny Rokeby makes his first appearance, albeit only by phone call, in Troubled Blood and yet it has reset thinking about Strike and his biological father considerably. Kurt Schreyer thinks the head Deadbeat is more Snape than Voldemort — and, if this is the case, we need to re-read the series to see how much Strike's emotional injuries from childhood neglect have misshaped his understanding of his dad so he lives in upside-down land.* Guest Post: Rokeby Redux – Is Strike's Father More Snape than Lord Voldemort?

Join me as I explore the wonderful world of goal-setting and the importance of understanding your "why" through a unique children's book by KC Aubin, "Red Bunny and Blue Bunny: Don't Build a Treehouse." In this episode, I review this beautifully illustrated story that perfectly complements Simon Sinek's principles from his book "Start With Why." Discover how this fun and engaging tale teaches kids (and adults!) the crucial lesson of focusing on the reasons behind our goals rather than just the goals themselves. You'll hear how the two bunnies, Red and Blue, embark on a mission to build a treehouse but ultimately learn that their true objective wasn't the treehouse at all. This story serves as a delightful reminder that starting with "why" can lead to more meaningful and satisfying outcomes. Plus, I'll discuss the book's interactive reflection section that encourages readers to identify the real problems they're trying to solve. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone interested in goal-setting, this episode offers valuable insights wrapped in a charming narrative. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation!

As a busy mom of three and the founder of Chaos N' Cookies, keeping moms from crumbling is my main objective. After gaining 10+ years of experience as a Director of Marketing helping build multiple 6 & 7-figure businesses for other women I've created the Chaos Control System to equip moms to overcome their own objections so they can live the life they want to live and start that business they have always wanted. The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home. For new biz owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other business platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-tos and hands-on coaching. I have helped hundreds of women to be more productive and self-sufficient in their homes and businesses allowing them to reclaim control of the chaos. www.chaosncookies.comhttps://www.instagram.com/chaosncookies/https://www.instagram.com/theheathergreco/https://www.facebook.com/Chaos-n-Cookies-111324364538688https://chaosncookies.com/shophttps://linktr.ee/hsteinker Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Allie Lefevere is a mother + writer/marketer and podcaster. She runs Obedient Agency with her best friend, specializing in humor marketing. Join us, as we talk with Allie about:Ambivalence in pregnancy: Allie openly talks about her uncertainty with entering motherhood, and once she became pregnant with her daughter, how that uncertainty didn't magically fade away. Life after baby: A typical day in the life for Allie changed when she had her daughter, but not as dramatically as you might think. As she says, her and her husband had 14 years to discuss how they wanted their lives to look like when they became parents.Parenting with intention: For her and her husband, keeping their jobs, their social life, and their identities were non-negotiable. Allie didn't want her identity to be just a mom; she was and is confident in what she needs in her life in addition to motherhood to thrive.Confidence in entrepreneurship: Trust in yourself enough to know that you'll figure out a way. Allie explains her transition from corporate consulting to entrepreneurship, and how “if we're carving our own path, there's no way to feel inferior.”Silly goose fun: How Allie embraces motherhood by just being silly with her girl. Fun can coexist with everything else that goes into motherhood, and life in general.Allie has spent the last decade creating, launching, and scaling fun-centric global programs for brands; whipping up their humorous branding and advertising campaigns, and making sure every touchpoint of the customer experience is unforgettable, unconventional, and most importantly, un-boring. Rooted in the power of fun and the potency of humor, her agency—Obedient—believes that traditional marketing is dead, and invites brands of all sizes and at all stages to join them in dancing on its grave. She would never brag that her work has been published in places like: Adweek, The New York Times, VICE, Vogue, Esquire, New York Magazine, and GOOP, but this is a bio, so she'll make an exception. In addition to her client work—brands like Blue Bunny, Native, Choice Organics, Clif Bar, Alleyoop, and The Dallas Cowboys—she cohosts a trio of business and comedy podcasts: Can They Brand That? a video brainstorming show where they pick a brand, set the clock for 20-minutes and ideate as many creative ideas as they can, Brandsplaining—a business-casual podcast, and Fangasm—a comedy podcast reading steamy, pop-culture fanfic (Think: Marvel, Schitt's Creek, The Office, Harry Potter, Star Wars, etc.) that was ranked top comedy podcast by Buzzfeed and Apple Podcasts.At the end of the day, Allie lives to prove that you don't need to prey on the fears of your consumers to make the kill. Instead? Excite them to death. RIP, your sad sales and long live fun. ;) Where to find Allie:Obedientagency.comhttps://www.instagram.com/obedientagency/ https://www.insMOTHER PLUS INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mother_plus_podcast/MOTHER PLUS FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/motherpluspodcastMOTHER PLUS PERMISSION SLIP: https://www.motherplusser.com/Permission-SlipMOTHER PLUS NEWSLETTER: https://www.motherplusser.com/signup-pageMOTHER PLUS BLOG: https://www.motherplusser.com/blog

According to the National Weather Service the day will start with patchy fog again before 9 a.m. in the Cedar Rapids area.

The actual total is likely much higher, given the availability of at-home test kits, the results of which are not reported to the state.Linn and Johnson counties have gone from a “low” to a “medium” community transmission level, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Hospitalizations from the virus increased to 255, up from 233 the previous week.Coralville-based developer Watts Group is looking to build a $10.7 million multifamily housing facility and two four-plex buildings at 705 16th Ave. SE in the Oak Hill Jackson neighborhood.According to the details outlined Tuesday at the Cedar Rapids City Council meeting, the project will add 32 market-rate rental units and two four-plex townhome buildings at the site, which is owned by St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church.Of the 32 units, Scott Mather, the city's economic development coordinator, said 24 would be one-bedroom units, and the other eight would be two-bedroom units. The five-story complex would have first-floor parking.According to the Associated Press, Italian confectioner Ferrero said Wednesday it will acquire Le Mars-based Wells Enterprises, one of the largest U.S. ice cream makers including Blue Bunny, in a deal that will broaden both companies' offerings.Wells, a 100-year-old family-owned company, also makes Halo Top and other brands.It employs 4,000 people and produces more than 200 million gallons of ice cream per year at plants in Iowa, New York and Nevada.The Ferrero Group, which was founded in Italy in 1946 and is now based in Luxembourg, also is family owned. Its brands — sold in more than 170 countries — include Kinder, Nutella, Tic Tac and Ferrero Rocher.Nearly a month after Election Day, a Republican was declared the victor in the tight House District 81 election in Scott County.According to reporting from the Quad City Times, Democrat Craig Cooper congratulated Republican Luana Stoltenberg on winning the district by 11 votes after a recount was completed.This is the second time the winner of the race flipped after recounts — the first after an auditor-run recount and this time after a candidate-picked board reviewed the ballots.

The CPG Guys, Sri & PVSB, are joined in this episode by Doug Bouton, the founder & CEO of Halo Top International and its US Subsidiary DoJo Brands which manufacturers Gatsby ChocolateFollow Doug Bouton on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-bouton-b1205a59/ Follow Halo Top International on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/halo-top-international/ Follow Halo Top International online at: https://halotop.com/Follow Gatsby Chocolate online at: https://www.gatsbychocolate.com/Doug answers these questions:1) You market Gatsby as a “safe addiction” food. To a degree, this is how you marketed Halo Top when you introduced pints of ice cream that contained less than 300 calories. Can you share with us your thinking in marketing products with indulgent legacies that have been formulated to reduce the caloric impact while retaining the experience?2) HaloTop was one of the first brands to adopt a revolutionary product locator on its site that allowed consumers to not just find stores that carried HaloTop but actually specific flavors. Can you share with this audience how this helped you in engaging consumers interested in your assortment?3) In 2013, you negotiated the sale of Halo Top NA operations to Blue Bunny while retaining the international business which you still operate now. Can you walk us through how that all transpired and why you didn't just sell the whole company?4) How do you operate Halo Top International in so many markets and how does it work when you share the “brand equity” of the Halo Top name?5) Chocolate candy is a large industry dominated by some major players operating out of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Why enter this market segment and what did you see as being the defining characteristics of Gatsby that would differentiate it from the competition and deliver sustainable growth. Also, why the name Gatsby?6) What are the primary marketing channels that Gatsby is leveraging to build awareness and foster brand loyalty? How do you go about designing an effective marketing mix?7) You've also invested in a high protein milk-based beverage brand: Slate Milk. Can you help us understand your interest in this category and why you think there is a significant opportunity for growth?8) What's next for DoJo Brands? Are there specific categories within food & beverage that you think offer significant growth entry opportunities?Please provide the CPG Guys feedback at http://ratethispodcast.com/cpgguysCPG Guys Website: http://CPGGuys.comCPG Guys on Instagram: https://instagram.com/cpgguysPlease follow the Network of Executive Women at http://newonline.org/cpgguysDISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

“Creative thinking is the fuel for getting things going. Dreaming about the project is a huge part of the process. The actual 'doing' requires following through on the dream, but the dream is the rough sketch. I encourage people to ponder and conjure the vision, but eventually I'll nudge you to "prove your groove." Don't just say you are a writer... Write. Don't just dream about making a film... Pick up the camera and go!” Have you ever wondered how to empower the dreamers in your life to be the fullest expressions of themselves? To take audacious leaps? To connect with their passion in a meaningful way to serve the world? In this episode, you’ll learn the 4 questions you can ask to connect students with their purpose, the top two ways anyone can generate new and creative ideas, and the most important question everyone should be asking themselves in order to live a life of joyful intention. I am thrilled about this remarkable interview, with the best-selling, award-winning author, Peter H. Reynolds. Join us as we deep-dive into creativity, dreaming, and joyful expression.
