  The early history of Japan was shaped by three key periods—the Kofun, Yamato, and Asuka—each playing a crucial role in laying the foundations of the Japanese nation.  
  The Kofun Period, named after the massive burial mounds built for elite rulers, saw the rise of warrior aristocracy and the early consolidation of power by influential clans. This era transitioned into the Yamato Period, during which the Yamato clan emerged as Japan’s first ruling dynasty, establishing the imperial lineage that continues to this day.  
  The Asuka Period marked a profound transformation as Buddhism, Confucian governance, and Chinese cultural influences began shaping Japan’s political and social structures.  
  The Taika Reforms introduced centralized administration, strengthening the authority of the emperor.  
  These three periods together set the stage for Japan’s evolving identity, blending indigenous traditions with foreign influences to create a distinct and enduring civilization.

  In my line of work my phone is ringing constantly. It's my most important business tool, and so I don't spend much thought about when or where to answer it - it's a natural reflex. So when one day, I was out early to prepare a house for a potentially interested couple, I got a call from an undisclosed number, I wasn't very surprised by it; it happens all the time. 
  "Hi," said a female voice on the other end of the line. "So, where were we?" 
  "Hi," I replied, pausing for a moment to think who it might be that called. Did I forget an appointment? Was there a conversation that got interrupted? 
  Before I could say anything else, the voice continued: "Ah right. You were going to tell me how wet you are."

  Examples of leader actions and decisions—some humorous, some tragic—that will help guide you whether you are a military officer or a civilian in an office.   John Chapman is a longstanding observer and chronicler of leadership events. In Muddy Boots Leadership, he describes 285 military leadership situations and the actions leaders have taken to meet the issue at hand. The leadership lessons learned and relearned by military leaders are applicable to a wide variety of organizations, both civil and military. Many are truly surprising; all are written with a certain “spark” that those in leadership positions will immediately understand. The text is augmented with some truly classic sidebars.  “When officers are being asked to ‘do everything with nothing,’ it costs a leader nothing but muddy boots to walk with them—and it can inspire extraordinary effort . . . It doesn’t take money to get your boots muddy and lead by example. It does take courage and effort.” —Officer.com

  A Very British Cult - Rogue...

  A secluded country house. A rogue Anglican Priest. Ceremonial sex and mislaid fortunes.
  
  This is the almost-forgotten story of Victorian Britain's strangest religious sect and its wealthy, mostly female, followers who believed they could ascend directly to heaven. Henry James Prince was a rogue Anglican Priest with a flare for the dramatic, and the founder of the Agapemone, or 'Abode of Love'. He also claimed to be the immortal conduit of The Holy Spirit and purportedly engaged in free love and ceremonial sex with his mostly female followers. But Prince's eventual death didn't mark the end of this strange set... he was promptly replaced by another. John Hugh Smyth-Pigott - otherwise known as the Clapton Messiah.
  
  The Abode transformed a sleepy, rural corner of Somerset into one of England's most notorious locations. While the followers shut themselves away and waited patiently for the end of the world, outrage grew - the word 'Agapemone' because a byword for licentiousness or idleness, used by Charles Dickens and Ford Maddox Ford. The reclusive Clapton Messiah became a fixture in the nation's papers, with frenzied efforts to discredit the organisation and undermine its leader. And still the cult grew.
  
  Expertly drawing on primary sources to tell the story of the Agapemonites in details for the first time, Stuart Flinders shines a light on the people drawn to the cult - the forced marriages; the swindled fortunes; the women condemned to asylums; and those who managed to escape from the Abode. It is also the story of two extraordinary men, whose claims of divinity were at the heart of this very British cult.
