Beschreibung

Omaha, 1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, eighteen-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school.When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder.Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter.If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.

    The Satavahana Empire, one of the earliest and most influential dynasties in ancient India, emerged in the Deccan region after the decline of the Mauryan Empire. The origins of the Satavahanas remain a subject of historical debate, but they are believed to have belonged to the Andhra region, gaining prominence as local chieftains before consolidating their rule into a powerful dynasty. Their rise marked a significant transition in Indian history, bridging the gap between the Mauryan administration and later regional powers. 
    The early history of the Satavahanas is primarily reconstructed through inscriptions, numismatic evidence, and references in ancient texts. The Puranas mention them as the Andhra dynasty, while inscriptions such as the Naneghat and Nasik inscriptions provide valuable insights into their rulers and governance. The first known ruler of the dynasty, Simuka, is credited with establishing Satavahana rule by overthrowing remnants of Mauryan authority in the Deccan and expanding his control over parts of present-day Maharashtra, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. His successors continued to strengthen the empire, laying the foundation for centuries of Satavahana dominance. 
    Following Simuka, his brother and successor Krishna further expanded the territory, but it was under the reign of Satakarni I that the empire gained considerable power. Satakarni I led successful military campaigns, extending his influence northward to the Narmada region and challenging the Shunga and Kshatrapa rulers. His achievements were commemorated in inscriptions and coins, some of which depict him performing Vedic sacrifices such as the Ashvamedha, indicating his aspirations for imperial legitimacy. This period also saw the Satavahanas emerging as key players in trade, administration, and culture, integrating diverse communities into their governance system.

    Healthy communities strive for their members to support one another, share their passions, and achieve personal growth. This book will help you learn to be connected and defeat loneliness by understanding where and how we belong. No matter the kind of organization, company, or social group, this book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a community or strengthen the ones they already have. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on both 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for developing connected communities that last. These include: Boundary: the boundary between members and outsiders; Initiation: the activities that mark a new member; Rituals: the things we do that have meaning; Temple: a place set aside to find our community; Stories: what we share that allows others and ourselves to know our values; Symbols: the things that represent ideas that are important to us; and Inner Rings: a path to growth as we participate. 
     
     
     
    With hands-on tools for applying these principles to any group—formal or informal, mission driven or social, physical or virtual—this book will guide you in your journey to become a community builder that brings people together.

    Monday, 4 September 1967 
    Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
    the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
    Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
    mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
    of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
    The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
    Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
    I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
    leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
    Then hell on earth broke loose. 
    Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
    the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
    men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
    Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
    men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
    M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
    superior foe bent on their destruction? 
    Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?
