Thank you all !!! About Chrichton:Crichton E. M. Miller, KGL, KStJA, Born in Glasgow Scotland in 1949 - is a polymath, inventor, and symbolic scientist whose work resurrects ancient knowledge systems to illuminate the forgotten foundations of civilization. Knighted and appointed Councillor in the Order of the Fleur de Lys under Royal Warrant by HRH Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, Miller's contributions to recovering lost history and decoding symbolic instruments have earned international recognition. As the patented creator of the Wheel Cross (GB2344654) and Latin Cross as precision measuring tools, he has redefined these icons as recursive memory devices—capable of mapping time, navigation, and consciousness. His book The Golden Thread of Time and numerous academic papers explore themes such as Archaeological Amnesia, Catastrophic Forgetting, and the entropy of cultural memory, offering frameworks for resilience in an age of technological acceleration. A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, Miller teaches across generations, blending empirical experimentation with symbolic cosmology. His mission is to preserve and transmit civilizational memory— ensuring that future generations inherit not just knowledge, but orientation.

In the last two episodes of our Kanreki tribute last month to the life and work of Joanne Rowling Murray, a.k.a., ‘J. K. Rowling' and ‘Robert Galbraith,' as celebration of her 60th birthday, we first explored perhaps the most ubiquitous and mysterious ‘Golden Thread' that runs through her work, namely, that of a ‘Lost Child.' We reviewed the forty plus appearances of this plot point in the just over twenty books she's written and searched for possible ‘Lake' sources in her life for this persistent, prevalent, and essential plot point.The most credible but entirely speculative possibility was that Rowling had had an induced abortion during her relationship with ‘Michael,' her off-and-on for seven years boyfriend from Exeter. On Rowling's birthday, we discussed the value this possibility has for interpreting her work, specifically in understanding the Harry Potter novels; most notably, the hypothesis would explain why every book features the exteriorization of something dangerous or deadly within and its beneficent elimination. In brief, the Hogwarts Saga, when read through this unresolved issue of Rowling's unconscious mind, seems to have been inspired and written as a defense for the intentional death of her child. In addition to explaining how this view of induced abortion as simultaneously necessary for women and the murder of an innocent, defenseless, and voiceless human being is the view of contrarian feminists such as Germaine Greer and Camille Paglia, we offered the Induced Abortion Hypothesis as the most obvious explanation for the Lost Child Golden Thread and demonstrated its potential critical value, if true. We asked repeatedly for listeners to share their objections to the hypothesis as well as alternative explanations for the Lost Child Golden Thread.And you did!The listeners who had followed us through the thirty-one Kanreki Lake and Shed conversations voiced in the comments beneath those posts both their discomfort with the idea and their admiration for the sober way we presented it. There were three challenging responses, as well, to our request for alternative explanations to the Lost Child Golden Thread: an argument from the biological make-up and consequent concerns of women everywhere, the point that “exteriorization of an evil within for elimination” is at least as easily read allegorically for the Christian doctrines of original sin and grace, and a find that the Gloria Conti story, the only explicit abortion narrative in Rowling's work, was lifted straight from The Godfather, Part 2. [See below for links to the sources of these three alternatives.]We discuss these three alternative ideas in the video above, their strengths and weaknesses, and applaud the one listener who shored up[ the weakest part of the Induced Abortion Hypothesis reading of Harry Potter, namely, how Prisoner of Azkaban fits the ‘exteriorization for elimination' pattern in that series. We close with thoughts about the imminent arrival of Hallmarked Man and our first thoughts of how we will be reading it at Hogwarts Professor — the subject of our next conversation in addition to our thoughts about the first releases and conflicting synopses for Strike8 that are in circulation.Please share your thoughts about alternative theories for the Lost Child Golden Thread and your ideas about how you would like us to cover Hallmarked Man.

K. Rowling's novels - Part One: Healing, Grace and Original Sin* Harry Potter and the Art of Theology 2: A Theological Perspective on J. K. Rowling's novels - Part Two: Sacrifice and MissionAurore's argument from the Biological Facts of Life about Being a Woman:* Whether or not Rowling herself has had an abortion, I think it makes sense she'd want to comment on the topic given her golden threads about violence against women & girls, pregnancy traps, and mothers' love.* It occurred to me after writing that comment: I don't think a woman has to have personally experienced an abortion to have spent most of her life thinking about the subject… I reckon a big part of the female psyche, from the time one is a girl, is a strange combination of awe and terror at the fact that falling pregnant is a power we have, but not necessarily one we can guarantee will always be in our control. * In my country, a 2023 landmark study showed 1/3 girls are victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse. But much more mundane than sexual and domestic abuse, I've known straight friends to fall pregnant by accident, even while using contraception. * I think it's a very unique issue in a girl or a woman's psyche because, on the one hand it is one of the worst possible consequences of rape, and therefore is part of women's (as Mad Eye would say) constant vigilance about the threat and reality of male-pattern violence. But on the other hand, and however an individual woman feels about children, it is something both inspiring and grave. As Spider-Man's Uncle Ben said, “with great power comes great responsibility!”.David Martin about The Godfather 2 as the Model for Gloria Conti's Abortion in Troubled Blood* In re Gloria Conti's abortion that Margo arranged for her: You will recall that Gloria Conti became interested in what seemed to her to be the “glamourous” Mafioso lifestyle by seeing the film The Godfather (1972). It may be worth noting that at the end of the film The Godfather: Part II (1974) Michael Corleone believes that his wife, Kay Corleone, has had a miscarriage and that her sorrow over that miscarriage is what has made her depressed. In an angry rant Kay tells him instead that she had an abortion, aborting what would have been his son, because she does not want his crime family to go on and she wants out. So – We have two (fictional) women, each seeking to limit or escape their involvement with a mobster and using the same means to do it. Even if Gloria Conti did not see The Godfather: Part II it's perfectly possible – perhaps even likely – that JKR did and so may have borrowed a bit of the plot.* "Strike paid in pain for the walk through the woods at Chiswell House the next morning. So little did he fancy getting up out of bed and heading downstairs to work on a Sunday that he was forced to remind himself that, like the character of Hyman Roth in one of his favourite films, he had chosen this business freely. If, like the Mafia, private detection made demands beyond the ordinary, certain concomitants had to be accepted along with the rewards." Lethal White ch 45Ed Shardlow's Prisoner of Azkaban Notes supporting Induced Abortion Hypothesis* Hi ladies and gents, I've been on holiday and just catching up on the end of the Kanreki series. I see that Snake Wood wasn't the big reveal because you were saving that for the final chapter!* Even the penultimate episode enumerating all the lost children and speculating on that theme's lake origins didn't dilute the impact of seeing how the classic Rowling themes of coercive relationships, motherly love, pregnancy traps, the protection of family and so on, not only come together in that one golden thread, but how it does indeed illuminate the whole HP series. * It certainly has the ring of truth for me. It certainly explains why morality and mortality are the crucial core to its meaning. The last episode was definitely one of those lightbulb-moment experiences for me. Love it!* I feel like there may be more abortion analogies in Azkaban... Perhaps the wolf inside Remus? I think there's something quite uterine about the shrieking shack... And maybe something obstetric? There's also the execution of the innocent Buckbeak. And the Dementors taking the souls of their victims, against whom the remedy is a reassuring and inspiring Patronus. Perhaps that's the embodiment of the good dad, saving the innocents under their guardianship.* This thread also offers another interpretation of The Christmas Pig - the traumatically obliterated DP, forever consigned to the land of the lost, and the replacement CP, carrying the love of his lost brother.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   John Barth (1930-2024) John Barth (1930-2024), who died on April 2, 2024 at the age of 93, was America's leading writer of metafictional and post-modern fiction. This interview was conducted by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on November 12, 2001 in the KPFA studios, while on the book tour for the novel Coming Soon. John Barth began to receive notice for his two earliest novels, The Floating Opera and End of the Road in the late 1950s, but burst on the scene with his epic comic novel about colonial life in Maryland, The Sot-Weed Factor, and his allegory of the Cold War, set on a university campus, Giles Goat-Boy. His short story collection, Lost in the Funhouse and novella collection Chimera cemented his reputation as a writer of meta-fiction, as the stories zoom back on themselves and on the writing of those stories. From Wikipedia: “In his epistolary novel LETTERS (1979), Barth corresponds with characters from his other books. Later novels such as The Tidewater Tales (1987) and The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor (1991) continue in the metafictional vein, using writers as protagonists who interact with their own and other stories in elaborate ways. His 1994 Once Upon a Time: A Floating Opera casts Barth himself as the protagonist who on a sailing trip encounters characters and situations from previous works.” After the 2001 interview, he continued to work in the same vein with a triptych of novellas, Where Three Roads Meet in 2005, interrelated short stories set in a retirement community, The Development: Nine Stories in 2008, and Every Third Thought: A Novel in Five Seasons in 2011. A, book of collected stories was released in 2015 and Postscripts (or Just Desserts): Some Final Scribbling came out in 2022. This interview was both the last interview conducted with Richard Lupoff as co-host, and the final interview recorded and edited on analog tape. This program was digitized and edited in July 2024 by Richard Wolinsky. Complete 46-minute Interview   Lorrie Moore is a celebrated short story writer and novelist.

Happy 60th Birthday, Joanne Rowling Murray! Thank you for close to thirty years of challenging, even edifying fiction, for the joys of community your serious readers enjoy in discussing your work, and for your philanthropic efforts on behalf of women and children everywhere. The faculty at HogwartsProfessor all wish you many, many years.As a birthday gift of sorts, Nick and John close off their month-long celebration of Rowling-Galbraith's life and work with a follow-up look at yesterday's review of the ‘Lost Child' Golden Thread that runs through her stories. After cataloging the almost forty ‘for instances' taken from the opera omnia in the penultimate entry in this series, Nick and John ask, “So What?” How does the possibility that Rowling had an induced abortion and is sufficiently unsettled by it that it inspires many even most of her books at least in part make any difference in understanding their artistry and meaning?John's answer is that, if read through the induced abortion lens, one can see shades of character reflecting Rowling's thought on this subject. More importantly, each Harry Potter novel can be read as a defense of induced abortion, i.e., that each features something evil within a person having to be exteriorized and eliminated, a process that readers celebrate as a ‘win.'A Kanreki celebration is a time when friends and family recognize the ending of a cycle and the beginning of a new life to the 60 year old celebrant. Here's hoping Rowling Studies, as with Rowling herself, will enter another era with this idea, one that the author can confirm, deny, or ignore. Regardless of her answer, Serious Readers are left with the mysteries of the Pregnancy Trap and Lost Child Golden Threads for them to ponder.Please do share your thoughts and questions in the comment boxes below. Nick and John hope to put together a Q&A post to answer the questions listeners have asked this month that they haven't answered and new ones sent in by Monday. Paid subscribers will be invited to join them live for that discussion.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? The hope is that, after sleeping in for the first time in a month, that we can put together for easy reference an Index post that has links to every Lake and Shed post we've sent out this month — and news of our plans for August and beyond.

It's the Day Before Rowling's 60th birthday so Nick and John tackle by reader request the never before discussed subject of the Lost Child theme in the author's more than twenty published works. They re-introduce the Golden Threads idea — see their Pregnancy Trap podcast or the two Kanreki series on this subject (here and here) — then they do a deep dive into the crowded waters of Lost Children in her work, and then they go out out on a high-wire to speculate about what specific spring in her Lake subconscious mind is responsible for this recurrent inspiration.

Two Days and a Wake-Up until Joanne Rowling Murray's 60th Birthday. In their home stretch conversation, Nick and John fulfill a reader request to discuss the book inside Deathly Hallows (one of three actually…), ‘Tales of Beedle the Bard,' a text that Albus Dumbledore leaves Hermione in his will for her to read and apply to the Horcrux Hunt. Nick tells the story of Rowling's creation of six hand-written copies as six-of-a-kind gifts for those who brought Harry Potter to life. John dives into the center story of the five tales, ‘The Hairy Heart,' and tells the meaning of Harry's heart to draw out what Rowling meant by describing Beedle as “the distillation” of the Hogwarts Saga.

“If I go to the good Hopi Indian quote, ‘We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' I sit in reflection of that and I hope the future generations will lead with heart and they'll be guided by the values that built this legacy to date. That they honor the past by innovating with purpose and with integrity. Everybody's always got to remember that stewardship is a sacred trust, and one that turns heritage into hope.”We're in great company with Shan and Bronwyn Varty, the mother and daughter duo behind Londolozi, who, with their family's one hundred years of history, are pioneering one of South Africa's original private game reserves as a living model of conservation development. Here, they are nurturing a Futuristic African Village, a prototype for village consciousness where wild animals and people alike, live together in dignity and harmony, with each other and the land. It is with an abundance mindset that they have chosen to share this land and legacy with worldly guests, committing to excellence in ecotourism with their accredited Relais & Châteaux status. In celebration of Mother's Day, in this episode, Shan and Bron paint for us a picture of luxury in its purest form—with time as the artist, the senses as the medium, and Mother Nature as the muse. Top Takeaways[2:10] With 100 years of family history living on this land, the Varty's roots run deep and strong as they grow and evolve with their environment.[4:50] The name Londolozi is Zulu for ‘Protector Of All Living Things,' reflecting their ambitious conservation ethic in stewarding our human relationship with the natural world. [7:00] They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” and there is sincere truth in that there is a power of resilience in community, as both Shan and Bron learned early on. [12:30] “When you live in nature, you live in an ecosystem of connection, not comparison.”[15:15] How meditative design is a way of practicing presence, learning to get out of the way and allow nature to lead, creating a sense of place that meets you where you are. [20:00] Londolozi's Camps are a collection woven together with a “Golden Thread”—each with their own significance, but all along a journey through legacy and luxury. [29:15] The Varty's are proud “Artists of Experiences”—curating luxury safaris for every chapter of life—from first-time safaris to multigenerational family trips, from honeymoons to wellness, with photography and more in store,[36:40] The “Ripple Effect” stands for Restoration, Innovation, Protection, People, Leadership, Education.[41:00] Rather than creating something new, Shan and Bron are celebrating 100 years of history by bringing back the old, polishing and preserving along the way.[46:15] Mother Nature's wisdom is in embracing a state of flow that changes with the seasons—recognizing that mothering is not something that is done, it is something that is felt—and can only be done so by slowing down. Notable MentionsNelson MandelaMaya AngelouThe Leopards of LondoloziPeter Reed LinensLand RoverSesaties, South African Kebabs Good Work FoundationTracker Academy Healing HouseVisit For YourselfLondolozi Website | @londoloziImages courtesy of Londolozi Game Reserve

Send us a textNiccolo Machiavelli is often held up as the paradigmatic political philosopher of the Italian Renaissance. But as James Hankins argued in an earlier book, Virtue Politics, Machiavelli in fact repudiates the framework common to many of the humanists of the Renaissance. Machiavelli is an outlier. Who then can replace him as the Renaissance's paradigmatic political philosopher? In his new book, Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy, Hankins proposes the little-known Francesco Patrizi, friend and protege of Pope Pius II, as Machiavelli's replacement. Hankins joins the show to make his case for Patrizi as emblematic of Renaissance political philosophy and to explain some aspects of Patrizi's life and thought.James Hankins's Political Meritocracy in Renaissance Italy: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780674274709James Hankins's Virtue Politics: https://amzn.to/4d0f0buAdrian Wooldridge's Aristocracy of Talent: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9781510775558The Patrizi Project: https://patrizisiena.hsites.harvard.edu/Nate Fischer's Meritocracy Must Not Be Our Goal: https://americanmind.org/salvo/meritocracy-must-not-be-our-goal/James Hankins and Allen Guelzo's The Golden Thread: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Thread-Ancient-World-Christendom/dp/1641773995New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Welcome back to City Road. In this episode, we reflect on 2024's Festival of 'Public' Urbanism and its panel discussion on how the public life of great cities takes place in our cultural buildings and civic spaces – from libraries to museums, town halls, streets, parks and playgrounds. This special Denis Winston memorial lecture, delivered by Dr Caroline Butler-Bowdon, State Librarian and award-winning author and curator, celebrates our crucial public infrastructure as the cornerstone of public and democratic life. The keynote address is followed by an eminent panel conversation between Dr Rob Stokes, former Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, and Professor Jennifer Barrett, Professor in Museum Studies and Pro-Vice Chancellor Indigenous at the University of Sydney. The annual Festival of Urbanism is brought to you by the Henry Halloran Research Trust with the assistance of the University of Sydney School of Architecture Design and Planning. Thanks for listening. See you next time on City Road. Host: Bill Code Editor: Mikayla McGuirk-Scolaro

Moen, Denmark Event - June 5, 2016 Evening. John chooses a surfing metaphor to explain how strong feelings of love can become a distraction from the golden thread of connectivity we really are, just a little deeper.

In this episode of Unearthed, hosts John Reade and Joseph Cavatoni, Senior Market Strategists at the World Gold Council, welcome George Cheveley, Portfolio Manager at Ninety One, for an insightful look into the dynamics of the gold mining equities market. With gold hitting record highs throughout 2024 and again this year, they dig into why mining stocks haven't kept pace and what's driving the disconnect. George shares how investors should think about mining companies today, what factors influence their performance – from cost pressures to growth metrics – and how sentiment is starting to shift from earnings to value. The conversation also covers what kind of growth matters most to investors and how to think about mining equities in the context of broader portfolio decisions. Tune in for a detailed breakdown of what's behind the headlines – and subscribe to Unearthed on your favourite podcast platform to stay up to date.    Additional Resources: Gold Demand Trends Q4 (Full Year) 2024  Gold Reserves by Country   Notable Quotes: “One of the things that I have heard from time to time is a production cliff looming for some of the producers, maybe five to ten years out, because of the pain the industry went through and the slowdowns in exploration.”     – John Reade  “ The gold industry has changed. The management of the industry has changed, and part of that is because of the circumstances that they went through in the last cycle.”    – John Reade  “ I think my own view is we're never going to end up with too few gold companies because every day there's people starting up junior gold companies. There's always somebody trying. I do think we probably could do with a bit more consolidation at the moment, but I also readily agree it's very hard to do.”    – George Cheveley    “I think time and timing is one of the big challenges and when we're feeling sorry for ourselves as fund managers. You know, sometimes we sit around and we say. The real problem with this job is we're talking to companies who are talking in decades and we're trying to service our clients who are talking in quarters, and we're trying to cover that spread, and it's pretty hard at times."    – George Cheveley     About World Gold Council We are a membership organisation that champions the role gold plays as a strategic asset, shaping the future of a responsible and accessible gold supply chain.

This month's guest is Civic Engineers associate director Sam Harland who talks to host Rob Hakimian about the Building Safety Act 2022 and how it is changing the way that engineers are working. They talk about how it has introduced new processes, particularly for structural engineers like Harland, with the tightening of design competency requirements, the introduction of the gateway process and the creation of the Golden Thread for buildings. The discussion particularly focuses on what this means for works on existing buildings and how engineers now have to carry out extensive investigations to uncover their structural health and history. Harland also provides insight on how implementation of the Act has been difficult and how it might drive the future of the sector. Prior to the interview portion, Rob is joined by NCE senior reporters Thomas Johnson and Tom Pashby to discuss some of the reporting they have been doing on the Havant Thicket Reservoir, water quality in the River Thames and the protracted consenting process for the Aquind Interconnector.  

Welcome back to The Brand Is You Podcast! Today, we're tackling one of the most frustrating struggles for entrepreneurs and creatives—branding yourself. It sounds like it should be easy, right? You are your brand. But when it comes to actually putting your message into words, defining your unique edge, and showing up consistently, things suddenly feel complicated. If you've ever overthought your brand message, felt too close to your own genius, or struggled to pinpoint what makes you stand out, this episode is for you. Branding yourself as yourself is tricky—but it doesn't have to be. I'm breaking down exactly why it feels so hard and giving you three simple strategies to make it a whole lot easier. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ Why branding yourself is so much harder than branding someone else ✔️ The three biggest challenges that hold entrepreneurs back from branding themselves ✔️ How to get clarity on your unique edge without overthinking it ✔️ The power of a Golden Thread (and why it makes branding feel effortless) ✔️ Why focusing on how you make people feel is the key to building an unforgettable brand Branding yourself isn't about being perfect—it's about being clear, consistent, and confident. And I promise, once you apply these three strategies, showing up as your brand will feel so much easier. Resources & Next Steps:

Project management is more than just schedules and deadlines—it's a powerful force for driving change across industries. In this episode, we welcome Professor Adam Boddison, Chief Executive of the Association for Project Management (APM) who talks about APM's Golden Thread research, conducted by PwC. He offers valuable perspectives on the skills that are essential for success, as well as strategies for breaking down common stereotypes about project managers.

We close out our prophetic dream about the "Golden Thread" and how we must cast our cares upon the Lord in order to turn the corner.  The Lord desires us to have faith in Him to deal with the issues of life so that we can move into the next realm of Glory.

This recording is a transmission done right outside the Osirion in Abydos during a sacred site visit to Egypt. The Osirion is a chamber over 9000 years old dedicated to Osiris.  The transmission was done outside at dusk right at the same time as evening prayers. The unique guidance in this transmission is that the energies from the Higher Beings engraved the central channel very slowly with symbols and hieroglyphs.  An inner engraving was also done on the central line of the central channel which is also referred to as the Golden Thread.  This transmission was meant to slowly and methodically build the central channel much like the high quality of the hieroglyphs found in the Abydos Temple created by Seti I.  You can repeat this transmission over many times to fully build the central channel with this symbolic engraving process going further down the central channel each time you do it. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gene-ang/support

The Consumer Behaviour Book: Exploring The Reasons Why Emotions Are So Important In Decision Making by Anthony “Tas” Tasgal  ABOUT THE BOOK: Neoclassical economics assumes that most people have well-defined preferences and make well-informed, self-interested decisions based on those preferences.  But in the real world, this is often not the case.  The Consumer Behaviour Book combines elements of economics and psychology to help you understand how and why consumers behave the way they do. Using behavioral economics as the foundation, the author explains the anomalies in consumer choices and what influences human behavior, preferences, and decision-making.   Often the case, emotional as well as economic factors play a vital role in consumer behavior.  Therefore, behavioral economics can be an important aid to business and marketing strategies by understanding how consumer decisions can be influenced. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Anthony “Tas” Tasgal is a man of many lanyards: trainer, author, TEDx speaker, brand and communications strategist, and lecturer.  His area of expertise includes storytelling, insights, and behavioral economics.  He is a Course Director for several organizations including the Chartered Institute of Marketing, the Market Research Society, and the Institute of Internal Communication, and he runs The Guardian masterclass on “Harnessing The Power Of Storytelling.”  He is the author of several books including the award-winning The Storytelling Book: Finding the Golden Thread in Your Communications, and The Insight Book: Enhancing Your Creativity By Learning To See Things Differently which was featured on episode 448 of The Marketing Book Podcast in 2023. And, interesting fact – he is the last British author who will be interviewed on The Marketing Book Podcast.
