Au nord de la ville de Dakhla, dans la région du Sahara occidental administrée par le Maroc, un projet titanesque est en cours de réalisation : un port en eau profonde capable d'accueillir des porte-conteneurs et des supertankers. Dans le cadre de l'« Initiative Royale Atlantique », le port, entièrement financé par le royaume, a pour objectif de proposer un nouvel accès à la mer pour les pays enclavés du Sahel et de renforcer les échanges Sud-Sud, notamment avec l'Amérique du Sud. De notre envoyé spécial de retour de Dakhla,Sur les hauteurs de ce chantier pharaonique lancé il y a trois ans, en pleine zone désertique, une femme observe aux jumelles le ballet de camions. Iouzzi Nisrine est la directrice de suivi et de supervision de la réalisation du nouveau port de Dakhla Atlantique. La côte a été terrassée sur plusieurs centaines de mètres pour le stockage, façon Tetris, de milliers de quadripodes, ces petits plots de béton à quatre bras capables de dissiper l'énergie des vagues et fortifier les digues portuaires.Dakhla Atlantique, c'est 1 500 employés, plus d'un milliard d'euros investis par l'État marocain, pour une infrastructure multifonctions. « On parle du conteneur, on parle du trafic TIR, on parle justement des hydrocarbures verts, de l'hydrogène vert, de l'industrie de la pêche, et de la réparation navale. Tout cela, ce sont des segments d'activités qui ont beaucoup de potentiels et qui existent et qu'on a identifié pour pouvoir les drainer à travers un port en eau profonde, et un grand port comme le port de Dakhla Atlantique », détaille Iouzzi Nisrine.« Une opportunité pour augmenter le commerce extérieur »Selon la vision étatique, ce port permettra le développement économique des « Provinces du Sud », vocable marocain dans un contexte de territoire disputé. Ses concepteurs le présentent comme une nouvelle option pour les États du Sahel enclavés, qui n'ont d'accès direct à la mer. « Désenclaver les pays du Sahel,c'est également une opportunité pour augmenter le commerce extérieur, et également créer des investissements et la création d'emploi, et le développement économique de façon générale », assure la directrice de suivi et de supervision de la réalisation du port.Instrument d'ancrage territorial et outil de développement de nouvelles routes commerciales maritimes, notamment avec l'Amérique du Sud, les enjeux stratégiques, géopolitiques, sont nombreux, tout autant que les défis d'ingénierie et environnementaux, dans une zone écologique sensible. Pour gagner en tirant d'eau, et accueillir les plus gros porte-conteneurs, un pont de 1,2 km de long a été construit perpendiculaire à la côte, et l'équivalent de 28 hectares de terrain en mer. Nisrine Iouzzi, casque sur la tête, a troqué sa veste noire pour un gilet jaune de chantier : « On a pensé aussi que c'était important de ne pas totalement fermer le courant littoral, et donc on a réfléchi d'abord à faire le pont pour avoir les plus hauts-fonds et également aussi pour une question environnementale faire une digue pour ne pas fermer le contact entre le trait de côte et la première profondeur. »Le projet a atteint un taux d'avancement de 45 %, et la livraison du port est attendu pour décembre 2028, avec une mise en exploitation en 2029. 35 millions de tonnes de marchandises pourraient y transiter chaque année.

Mākslas vēsturniece, publiciste, "Piebalgas kultūrtelpas biedrības" vadītāja Elvita Ruka turpina stāstus par aizraujošām piebaldzēnu dzīves epizodēm. Tās tiek smeltas brāļu Kārļa (1904–1990) un Voldemāra (1912–2004) Ruku atmiņās, kas glabājas Jaunpiebalgas novadpētniecības muzejā Darbība notiek īsi pēc Pirmā pasaules kara Ruku dzimtā. Lūk, kā mazais brālis Voldemārs jeb Ruku Valdis apraksta lielā brāļa atgriešanos lauku sētā… "Kārļa pirmā aizraušanās jeb iziešana tautā plašākas publikas priekšā bija atturības propaganda. Viņš lasīja priekšlasījumus, dibināja skolās cerību pulciņus. Kad lektors jau bija iededzies citos pasākumos, vēl ilgi "Vecseviķu" istabaugšā glabājās uzskatāmības līdzekļi: mākslīgās sirdis, aknas un nieres. Alus dzērāja sirds bija pietūkusi, veidota divas reizes lielāka par normālo, bet šņabotājiem tā bija maza, sažuvusi, sačervelējusies." Kārlis bija pametis mācības lauksaimniecības skolā un ar plašu žestu piemājas tīrumā ierīkoja stādu audzētavu jeb kokskolu, ābeļu sēklaudžu atlasē nodarbinot arī mazāko brāli. Kārlim plāni bija kā Napoleonam un viņš bija sacerējies saimniecību pārveidot par īstu paradīzes dārzu. Tam bija vajadzīgi lieli līdzekļi. Tēvs pret aizņemšanos no bankas bija kategoriski pret, un Kārlis lepni devās pasaulē. Pabeidza lopkopības pārrauga kursus un braukāja pa Vidzemes sētām pienu svērdams, mērīdams un analizēdams. Braucienos līdzi bija gluži vai burvju mākslinieka kaste ar dažādiem instrumentiem. Voldemāram īpaši patika piena tauku procentu noteicējs, kas rūca kā aeroplāns. Kad to sāka darbināt, drebēja grīda un logi. Drīz vien Kārlis bija kļuvis par Madonas rajona lopu pārraudzības instruktoru, ar visu enerģiju cīnoties vispirms par Latvijas raibaļām un tad par brūnaļām. Šajā propagandas darbā viņam dzima gaiša doma – sekmīgai tirdzniecībai nepieciešams izdot sugas lopu biļetenu, kur drukātos gan sugas lopu pircēji, gan pārdevēji. Savu ideju Kārlis gribēja realizēt tikai savā vārdā, taču viņam vēl nebija 25 gadi un viņš nevarēja būt izdevuma galvenais redaktors. Kārlis ar visu dedzību un padevību metās pie tēva, arī Kārļa. "Tajā laikā politiskiem izdevumiem, it sevišķi sarkanajiem "strādnieku – zemnieku", galvenie redaktori ar nodomu bija izraudzīti tādi, kas par labu samaksu labprātīgi atsēdēja piespriestos soda mēnešus par savu pretinieku nepatiesu apvainošanu un pastāvošās iekārtas graušanu. Izdevuma vadošās personas darbu turpināja, sameklējot jaunus atsēdētājus. Tēvs, visu to labi pārzinādams, nebija pierunājams. Kad Kārlis svēti nosolījās, ka šajā biļetenā nebūs neviena vārda no politikas, tikai govslopu pirkšana, pārdošana un ciltsraksti, tēvs beidzot piekrita. Biļetenu drukāja, tā atbildīgais redaktors bija Kārlis Ruks, un neviens jau nezināja, ka juniors." Drīz vien jaunais censonis pārdeva sev atdalīto zemi, iegūto naudu ieguldīja spiestuves labiekārtošanā un Madonā atvēra izdevniecību "Provinces prese" Tajā iespiestas 14 rajona avīzītes, sarīkojumu programmas, dziesmu lapiņas, uzsaukumi un pat grāmatas. Šajā laikā arī mazais brālis ģimnāzists iesaistīts darbā, par ko uzrakstījis savu pirmo literāro darbu "Sludinājuma vācēja piedzīvojumi". Darbībai paplašinoties, Kārlis spiestuvi pārcēla uz Pļaviņām Daugavas krastā, vīnrūpnieka Upīša mājās. Blakus spiestuvei pagrabos gatavojās vīns pāri cilvēka augumam lielos traukos, bet nerimtīgā Kārļa darbīgais gars jau meklēja jaunus apvāršņus. Turpmākie brīvvalsts gadi viņu aiztriec uz Rīgu. Kārlis (un viņa pēdās Voldemārs) kļūst par dievturi, iesaistās politikā, audzē un tirgo redīsus, tad uzsāk dāliju selekcionēšanu un drīz vien "Mājas viesis" par viņu raksta tā: "Pašlaik lielākais dāliju šķirņu skaits esot dārzkopim K. Rukam, kurš paraugdārzos iestādījis ap 2000 stādu no 540 šķirnēm." Kārlis ir pret "sarkano mēri", taču kara laikā nokļūst gan Centrālcietumā, gan Salaspils nāves nometnē. Kā dzīves paradokss ir 1949. gads, kad Kārli viņa Aspazijas bulvāra dzīvoklī pamodina brutāli kareivji un ielādē vagonā uz Austrumiem. No šī notikuma viņš maz atceras, jo kādreizējais atturības sludinātājs esot bijis stipri piedzēries. Uz Sibīriju viņš izsūtīts brāļa Voldemāra vietā, kurš kā "Piebalgas budzis" bija paspējis sentēvu mājas pamest. Kad Kārlis no Jakutijas raksta, ka "pārtikas iegādei būtu vajadzīga bise", Voldemārs pa detaļām izjauc 12. kalibra divstobreni un pa porcijām aizsūta. Pēc brāļa atgriešanās abu avantūrisms izpaužas selekcijā un paraugdārzos, kā arī fotografējot Latvijas kultūras mantojumu. Par spīti 20. gadsimta spaidiem, abi brāļi saglabā Piebalgas zemnieku sīkstumu, optimismu un avantūras garu, to visu vēl cītīgi aprakstot – šķiet, ka mūzām piebaldzēni patīk. "Visā savā nodzīvotā dzīvē brālis bija kā kūsājošs, enerģijas pilns, pastāvīgi putojošs vīna trauks. Viņa dotības un aicinājums bija vadīt, iet pa priekšu, būt pirmajam. Runāt, dominēt, likt pakļauties savai domai un uzskatiem," Voldemārs formulē Kārļa Ruka dzīves kopsaucēju.

The Islamic State, once a local insurgency rooted in Iraq and Syria, has transformed into a global network with far-reaching influence. In this episode of the podcast, we chart how its operations have expanded beyond the Middle East, as the group leveraged technology, propaganda, and local affiliates to spread its ideology across borders. Host Lucas Webber is joined by Aaron Zelin, a Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and founder of the widely acclaimed website, Jihadology. Aaron explains how The General Directorate of Provinces, a global hierarchy structure responsible for overseeing and coordinating Islamic State's global affiliates, is central to much of the group's expansion.

Given the Executive Orders from the Trump Administration, withholding essential services such as inclusive, non-discriminatory healthcare, the Trans and Intersex community, has been affected as well. Among other key, vulnerable and marginalized communities in various countries, Zimbabwe included. The right to Healthcare, is a basic human right for anyone. Exclusion of key communities from inclusive healthcare, is a violation of this Universal Human Right. Trans & Intersex lives, have been proven by Science & Biology, that we exist. We are important too, just like any Human Being. Listen to 5 Trans & Intersex Community Champions, across 5 Provinces in Zimbabwe, as we narrate how the exclusion of essential healthcare has affected us, at a National, Regional and International scale.

Global Demographics' online database and apps provide forecasts of the demographic profile of 117 countries, 31 Provinces, and 625 cities in China. The forecasts from 2021 to 2045 (with historic data from 2005) include the basic demographic profile (age, by gender), births, deaths, migration, households, labor force, household income distribution, and expenditure patterns. The Company was formed in 1997 (as Asian Demographics Ltd) and has been building its databases, forecast models, and reports since then – originally for countries in Asia and then, as a result of client demand, for countries throughout the world. After 25 years of development, the coverage is now 117 countries and also China and India (each being around 20% of the world's population) by sub-regions (in the case of China down to all 2,852 counties) This episode uses a lot of visuals from Dr. Laurent.

Good and bad unintended consequences.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.The highest cost of losing a war is the rage of your children."Maybe the Canadian is not so much an 'ex' girlfriend?" Orsi leered. It was the old 'if he is so good that she still wants him back after a colossal screw up, I wanted a taste' expression."Do you think she will help you?" Katalin inquired."She'll help," Pamela huffed playfully. "My grandson has plenty of ex-girlfriends. Most of them want him back, despite his colorful lifestyle. It is one of his more amusing qualities.""Let's get something to eat," I tried to turn the conversation away from my past sexcapades."You are engaged?" Jolan didn't miss a beat."It is complicated," I sighed. "Let's just say I really like her, but she's seven years older, divorced with one young daughter and has a father who hates that I live and breathe.""Do you have any male friends?" Monika joined the Cáel Quiz Bowl."Yes," I replied with confidence. "My roommate Timothy and I are great friends.""He's gay," Pamela pierced their disbelief. "He and Cáel are true brothers-in-arms, I'll give Cáel that much.""Do you have any straight male friends?" Orsi was enjoying taunting me."Do Chaz or Vincent count?" I looked to Pamela."They are straight males, but they don't really know you yet," Pamela failed to be of much help. "I think Vincent insinuated he'd shoot you if you dated any of his three daughters. It was friendly of him to warn you. I supposed that could be construed as liking you.""Are all your acquaintances violent?" Anya seemed worried."Vincent isn't violent. He's with the US FBI," I retorted. Pause. "Okay, he carries a gun and shoots it, he's a law officer. They can do that.""You seem to be stressed," Orsi put an arm around my waist. "Let us ease your worries." Hallelujah!Note: One of History's LessonsIn the last 75 years of military history, airpower had been a decisive factor in every major conflict, save one. Most Americans would think the one exception was US involvement in Vietnam and they'd be wrong: right country, wrong time. Indochina's War of Independence against France was the exception. There, the French Air Force was simply inadequate to the task.Yes, the United States and its allies eventually lost the struggle in Vietnam. But it was their airpower that kept the conflict running as long as it did. For the most part, the Allied and Communist military hardware on the ground were equivalent. While the Allies had superior quantities of supplies, the Communists countered that with numbers, and therein lies the rub.Airpower allowed the Allies to smash large North Vietnamese formations south of the Demilitarized Zone and thus prevented the numerical advantage from coming into play. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong made one serious stab at a conventional militarily challenge to the Allies, the Tet Offensive, and after initial successes, they were crushed.With the NVA unable to flex their superior numbers, the Allies were able to innovate helicopter-borne counter-insurgency operations. The North Vietnam's Army (NVA) was forced to operate in smaller units, so the Allies were able to engage them in troop numbers that helicopters could support. The air forces didn't deliver ultimate victory, but air power alone had never been able to do so on land. It was only when the US lost faith in achieving any positive outcome in Viet Nam and pulled out, that the North was finally able to overrun the South 20 months later. But every major power today understands the lesson.End of Note(Big Trouble in Little China)The military importance of airpower was now haunting the leadership of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). Their problem wasn't aircraft. Most of their air fleet consisted of the most advanced models produced during the last two decades. The problem was that 80% of their pilots were dead, or dying. Their ground crews were in the same peril. Even shanghaiing commercial pilots couldn't meet the projected pilot shortfall.Classic PLA defense doctrine was to soak up an enemy (Russian) attack and bog down the aggressor with semi-guerilla warfare (classic small unit tactics backed up with larger, light infantry formations). Then, when the invaders were over-extended and exhausted, the armored / mechanized / motorized forces would counter-attack and destroy their foes. This last bit required air superiority through attrition.The twin enemies of this strategy were the price of technology and the Chinese economic priorities. With the rising cost of the high-tech equipment and a central government focus on developing the overall economy, the Chinese went for an ever smaller counter attack striking force, thus skewing the burden of depth of support far in favor of their relatively static militia/police units.So now, while the PLA / PLAAF's main divisions, brigades and Air Wings were some of the best equipped on the planet, the economic necessities had also meant the militia was financially neglected, remaining little more than early Cold War Era non-mechanized infantry formations. To compensate, the Chinese had placed greater and greater emphasis on the deployment capabilities of their scarcer, technologically advanced formations.When the Anthrax outbreak started, the strike force personnel were the first personnel 'vaccinated'. Now those men and women were coughing out the last days and hours of their lives. Unfortunately, you couldn't simply put a few commercial truck drivers in a T-99 Main Battle Tank and expect them to be anything more than a rolling coffin. The same went for a commercial airline pilot and a Chengdu J-10 multi-role fighter. The best you could hope for was for him/her to make successful takeoffs and landings.A further critical factor was that the Khanate's first strike had also targeted key defense industries. The damage hadn't been irreparable. Most military production would be only a month to six weeks behind schedule. But there would be a gap.It was just becoming clear that roughly 80% of their highly-trained, frontline combatants were going to die anyway. Their Reserves were looking at 30~40% attrition due to the illness as well. In the short term (three months), they would be fighting with whatever they started with. Within the very short term (one week), they were going to have a bunch of high-priced equipment and no one trained to use it. With chilling practicality, the Chinese leaders decided to throw their dying troopers into one immediate, massive counter-offensive against the Khanate.Just as Temujin predicted they would. Things were playing out according to plan.Note: World Events SummaryRound #1 had seen the Khanate unite several countries under one, their, banner. Earth  and  Sky soldiers had rolled across the Chinese border as their Air Force and Missile Regiments had used precision strikes to hammer Chinese bases, sever their transportation network and crippled their civilian infrastructure.Next, the frontier offensive units had been obliterated, the cities bypassed and the Khanate Tumens had sped forward to the geographic junctures between what the Khanate wanted and from whence the PLA had to come. In the last phase of Round #1, the Khanate prepped for the inevitable PLA / PLAAF counter-strike.Round #2 had now begun:Step One: Declare to the World that the Khanate was a nuclear power. As history would later reveal, this was a lie, but no one had any way of initially knowing that. Hell, the Khanate hadn't even existed 72 hours ago. Satellite imagery did show the Khanate had medium-range strategic missiles capable of hitting any location in the People's Republic. In Beijing, a nuclear response was taken off the table.Step Two: Initiate the largest air-battle in the history of Asia. Not just planes either. Both sides flew fleets of UCAV's at one another. It wasn't really even a battle between China and just the Khanate. Virtually all of the UAV technology the Khanate was using was Japanese, South Korean and Taiwanese in origin, plus some US-Russian-shared technology thrown into the mix.When the South Korean design team saw the footage of their bleeding-edge dogfighting UCAVs shooting down their PRC opponents, they were thrilled (their design rocked!), shocked (what was their 'baby' doing dominating Chinese airspace?) and anxious (members of South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration, DAPA, were rushing over to chat with them).Similar things were happening in Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the United States. The Communist Party leadership in Beijing were beginning to seriously consider the possibility that everyone was out to get them. Of course, all the Ambassadors in Beijing were bobbing their heads with the utmost respect while swearing on the lives of their first born sons that their nations had nothing to do with any of this.These foreign diplomats promised to look into these egregious breaches of their scientific integrity and were saying how sorry they were that the PLA and PLAAF were getting ass-raped for the World's viewing pleasure. No, they couldn't stop the Khanate posting such things to the internet, something to do with freedom. Paranoia had been creeping into the Potentates' thoughts since the Pakistan/Aksai Chan incident.As they watched their very expensive jets and UCAV's being obliterated, distrust of the global community became the 800 pound gorilla in the room. To add habaneros to the open wounds, the United States and the United Kingdom began dropping hints that they had some sort of highly personal communication conduit with the Khanate's secretive and unresponsive leadership. Yes Virginia Wolfe, the Western World was out to get the People's Republic.'Great Mao's Ghost', all that claptrap their grandfathers had babbled on about (1) the Korea War, (2) the Sino-Soviet grudge match, (3) the Sino-Vietnamese conflict and (4) the persistent support for the renegade province of Formosa all being a continuous effort by the liberal democracies and post-colonial imperialist to contain Chinese communism, didn't sound so crazy anymore.Step Three: Plaster all those PLA ground units that had started moving toward them when the air war began and the Chinese envisioned they would control the skies. The T-99 was a great tank. It also blew up rather spectacularly when it was stuck on a rail car (you don't drive your tanks halfway across China, it kills the treads).As Craig Kilborn put into his late night repertoire:"What do you call a Khanate UCAV driver who isn't an ace yet? Late for work.""What's the difference between me coming off a weekend long Las Vegas bender and a Khanate pilot? Not a damn thing. We've both been up for three days straight, yet everyone expects us to work tonight."Some PLA generals decided to make an all-out charge at the Tumens. Genghis's boys and girls were having none of that. They weren't using their Russian-built Khanate tanks to kill Chinese-built PLA tanks. No, their tanks were sneaking around and picking off the Chinese anti-air vehicles.The Chinese tanks and APCs engaged the dismounted Khanate infantry who, as Aksai Chin had shown, possessed some of the latest anti-tank weaponry. In the few cases where the PLA threw caution to the wind, they did some damage to the Khanate by sheer weight of numbers. For the rest, it was death by airpower.With their anti-air shield gone, the battle became little more than a grisly, real-life FPS game. It wasn't 'THE END'. China still had over 2,000,000 troops to call upon versus the roughly 200,000 the Khanate could currently muster. The PLA's new dilemma was how to transport these mostly truck-bound troops anywhere near the front lines without seeing them also exterminated from the air.After the Tumens gobbled up the majority of the PLA's available mobile forces, they resumed their advance toward the provincial boundaries of Xinjiang and Nin Mongol. There was little left to slow them down. The Chinese still held most of the urban centers in Xinjiang and Nei Mongol, yet they were isolated. And Khanate follow-up forces (the national armies they'd 'inherited') were putting the disease-riddled major municipalities under siege.All over the 24/7 World Wide News cycle, talking heads and military gurus were of two minds about the Khanate's offensive. Most harped on the fact that while the Khanate was making great territorial gains, it was barely making a dent in the Chinese population and economy. Uniformly, those people insisted that before the end of November, the Khanate would be crushed and a reordering of Asia was going to be the next great Mandate for the United Nations.A few of the braver unconventional pundits pointed out the same thing, but with the opposite conclusion, arguing:1.There were virtually no military forces in the conquered areas to contend with the Khanate's hold on the regions.2.Their popularity in the rural towns and countryside seriously undercut any hope for a pro-PRC insurgency.3.Driving the Khanate's forces back to their starting points would be a long and difficult endeavor that the World Economy might not be able to endure.When the PLAAF was effectively castrated after thirty-six hours of continuous aerial combat, a lot of experts were left with egg on their faces. One lone commentator asked the most fearful question of all. Where was the Khanate getting the financing, technical know-how and expertise to pull all of this off? There was a reason to be afraid of that answer.And while I was entertaining my six sailor-saviors, there were two other things of a diplomatic nature only just revealing themselves. Publically, Vladimir Putin had graciously offered to mediate the crisis while 'stealthily' increasing the readiness of his Eastern Military District. If there was any confusion, that meant activating a shitload of troops on the Manchurian border, not along the frontiers of the former nations of Mongolia and Kazakhstan.After all, Mongolia was terribly poor. Manchuria/Northeastern China? Manchuria was rich, rich, rich! From the Kremlin, Putin spoke of 'projecting a presence' into the 'lost territory' of Manchuria, citing Russia's long involvement in the region. By his interpretation of history, the Russians (aka the Soviet Union) had rescued Manchukuo (the theoretically INDEPENDENT Imperial Japanese puppet state of Manchuria) from the Japanese in 1945. They'd even given it back to the PRC for safekeeping after World War II was concluded.Putin promised Russia was ready and willing to help out the PRC once again, suggesting that maybe a preemptive intervention would forestall the inevitable Khanate attack, thus saving the wealthy, industrialized province from the ravages of war. Surely Putin's Russians could be relied on to withdraw once the Khanate struggle was resolved? Surprisingly, despite being recent beneficiaries of President Putin's promises, the Ukraine remained remiss in their accolades regarding his rectitude.In the other bit of breaking news; an intermediary convinced the Khanate to extend an invitation to the Red Cross, Red Crescent and the WHO to investigate the recently conquered regions in preparations for a humanitarian mission.That intermediary was Hana Sulkanen; for reasons no one could fathom, she alone had the clout to get the otherwise unresponsive new regime to open up and she was using that influence to bring about a desperately needed relief effort to aid the civilians caught up in that dynastic struggle. A Princess indeed. No one was surprised that the PRC protested, claiming that since the territory wasn't conquered, any intervention was a gross violation of Chinese sovereignty.End of Note(To Live and Die in Hun-Gray)Orsi may have been the troupe leader, but Anya needed me more, so she came first."I need a shower before we catch some dinner," I announced as we meandered the streets of Mindszent. My lady friends were all processing that as I wound an arm around Anya's waist and pulled her close. "Shower?" I smiled down at her, she was about 5 foot 7. It took her a few seconds to click on my invitation."Yeah, sure, that would be nice," she reciprocated my casual waist hold. Several of her friends giggled over her delay. We were heading back to the Seven Fishermen's Guest House."Do you do this, picking up strange girls you've barely met for, you know?" she said in Bulgarian, as she looked at me expectantly."Yes and no," I began, in Russian. "I often find myself encountering very intriguing women, for which I know I am a fortunate man. I embrace sensuality. That means I know what I'm doing, but I'm not the 'bring him home to meet the parents' kind of guy.""What of your fiancée? Do you feel bad about cheating on her?" Anya pursued me."Hana is wonderful. I've met her father and it went badly both times," I confessed."How?" Anya looked concerned for me."Would you two speak a language the rest of us can understand?" Monika teased us."Very well," I nodded to Monika, and turned back to Anya, "The first time, his son raped a girl and I threatened the young man's life," I revealed. "Jormo, Hana's father, wasn't happy when I did so. The second time, he hit me twice, once in the gut and once in the head," I continued."Why did he hit you?" Orsi butted in."I'd rather not say. You may think less of me," I confessed. Pamela gave me a wink for playing my audience so well. I'm glad she's family (kinda/sorta)."The boy, he is dead?" Magdalena guessed. "Hana's brother?""I really shouldn't talk about that," I evaded. "It is a family matter." That's right. The family that my grandmother had brought me into as her intern / slayer-in-training. There is no reason to create a new lie when you can embellish a previous one."Do you ever feel bad about what you do?" Katalin asked Pamela. We love movies."As I see it, if I show up looking for you, you've done something to deserve it," Pamela gave her sage philosophy behind being an assassin."Are you, bi-sexual?" Jolan murmured. Pamela smacked me in the chest as I laughed. "Did I say something wrong?" Jolan worried. Pamela was a killer."No, you are fine," Pamela patted Jolan's shoulder. "I'm straight and happily so. It just so happens that most of my co-workers are women. Day in, day out, nothing but sweaty female bodies working out, sparring and grappling together, and afterwards, the massages."That was my Grandma, poking all the lesbian buttons of the women around me. Best of all, she did it with the detached air of a sexually indifferent matron. She was stirring up the lassies while keeping them focused on me. We walked into the courtyard of our guest house."Don't take too long, you two," Orsi teased us."Ha!" Pamela chuckled. "That's like asking the Sun to hurry up and rise, the Moon to set too soon, or the sea to stay at low tide forever.""Anya," I whispered into her ear. "How many orgasms do you want?" Anya's eyes expanded. Her eyes flickered toward her friends, then back to me. She held up one finger, I grinned speculatively. Anya held up two fingers. I kissed her fingers.
