  Classical Japan - Art Power and...

  The classical era of Japan was defined by a rich interplay of art, power, and evolving traditions, spanning the Nara, Heian, and Kamakura periods. The Nara Period saw the establishment of Japan’s first permanent capital, heavily influenced by Chinese culture, with Buddhism gaining prominence and shaping religious and artistic developments.  
  The Heian Period marked the height of imperial court culture, where poetry, literature, and refined aesthetics flourished under the rule of aristocratic families like the Fujiwara. It was also during this time that the kana writing system emerged, giving rise to literary masterpieces such as The Tale of Genji. As courtly elegance gave way to the rise of the samurai, the Kamakura Shogunate ushered in a new era of warrior rule, led by the Minamoto clan.  
  The establishment of a military government transformed Japan’s political landscape, laying the groundwork for feudal society while facing external threats like the Mongol invasions. These three periods together shaped Japan’s cultural and political identity, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to influence the nation today.

  And a Dog Called Fig - Solitude...

  An artist's solitude is a sacred space, one to be guarded from the chaos of the world, where the sparks of inspiration can be kindled into fires of creation. But within this quiet also lie loneliness, self-doubt, the danger of collapsing too far inward. An artist needs a familiar, a companion with emotional intelligence, innate curiosity, an enthusiasm for the world beyond, but also the capacity to rest contentedly for many hours. What an artist needs, Helen Humphreys would say, is a dog. 
   
   
   
  And a Dog Called Fig is a memoir of the writing life told through the dogs Humphreys has lived with and loved over a lifetime, including Fig, her new Vizsla puppy. Interspersed are stories of other writers and their own irreplaceable companions: Virginia Woolf and Grizzle, Gertrude Stein and Basket, Thomas Hardy and Wessex—who walked the dining table at dinner parties, taking whatever he liked—and many more. 
   
   
   
  A love song to the dogs who come into our lives and all that they bring—sorrow, mayhem, reflection, joy—this is a book about steadfast friendship and loss, creativity and craft, and the restorative powers of nature. Every work of art is different; so too is every dog, with distinctive needs and lessons. And if we let them guide us, they will show us many worlds we would otherwise miss.

  When a once-failed contractor takes a second shot at success, he quickly learns that working in the field was the easy part. The real challenge? Creating operating and financial systems that won’t crumble under pressure. 
  In Blueprints for Success, Timothy Wingate Jr. pulls back the curtain on the messy reality of construction entrepreneurship. Through raw, relatable storytelling, he reveals how disorganized finances, poor hiring decisions, and a compulsion to micromanage nearly buried a man’s dream beneath the rubble of his struggling construction business. 
  Everything changes when Timothy steps in to help confront the foundation-level cracks in the operation. 
  This is field-tested wisdom for contractors tired of watching profits vanish, dealing with constant turnover, and wondering why growth always feels out of reach. Inside, you’ll discover practical strategies for: 
  • Building the right team (and knowing when you can afford to bring them on) 
  • Creating financial systems that actually make sense for construction 
  • Implementing technology that connects your field to your office 
  • Scaling your operation without sacrificing quality—or your sanity 
  Whether you’re barely staying afloat or ready to build something that lasts, these blueprints offer the structure you’ve been missing.

Gary calls upon his extensive background as a Federal Air Marshal and defensive tactics instructor to explain these methods in simple terms that will greatly improve your general understanding of how, when and where violence occurs.
