#int. -> vitaly.

“Good mornin’ to you too, doc.” Cían came to a lazy halt past the doctor’s office and leaned against it as he studied Vitaly’s attempt at order with a barely concealed snort of amusement. He’d been patched up well by the castle’s medical staff following Dmitri’s attack on the Russian councilman – Cían’s last minute close shave with martyrdom had been a hedonistic gamble; a risky move for the sake of substantial long-term gain if all went to plan. Naturally, it had, and now he found himself without a collar and some genuine independence for the first time in well over a century. Even if it had meant deceiving a few folks once or twice along the way, it’d been a worthwhile venture.

Cían eyed the younger hound with a muffled laugh after a beat. “Down, boy. ‘m not here to take up your time. Was on the way to the gym an’ was passing. I’ve been wanting to say thanks in person to the department for piecin’ me back together after the whole…” his voice trailed off as he mimed the explosion, sound effects included. “…thing. So, yeah, thanks a million for doin’ what you did– well, collective you, y’know, like– look, Florian was busy an’ your door was open. Don’t shoot the messenger.” Pausing, Cían eyed the tote curiously and leaned in a little closer to get a better look at the contents. “You need someone to take all this off your hands?”

He would be advocating, heavily for the spot of head doctor back. Vitaly wasn't exactly kind and didn't have the best bedside manner but the stock room looked like hell. Banging could be heard from it as he began rearranging the items to best suit his need. He'd gone only to become a better doctor, to improve his techniques. A small tour of the mayo clinic's specialty burn unit. When he returned, informed his position had been taken over, he wasn't hurt. But he sure as hell wasn't thrilled he'd have to answer to someone else. Chucking out useless items into a tote to take to the village later, Vitaly muttered under his breath. He heard steps approach the door and turned, still mildly irritated. "Da? You need help? We have nurses for reason. Go see one of them. This may take time." Though he wore a white coat, his gaze, tattoos, and demeanors left no room to debate that Vitaly wasn't feeling welcoming.

Former Moldova Defense Minister Vitalie Marinuta told Insider the attacks look to be Russian.

Marinuta believes Moscow is serious about connecting the territory to Russian-occupied Crimea.

Over the space of twenty minutes, that was the length of time that Svetlana played with Sofie, as if she was a rag doll, easily sewn back together, as if everything she was doing wouldn't leave marks that could never be taken back. But the state of the woman was what she believed to be only phase one. Her eye, now more blood than pupil, stuck out: the mace hadn't been kind. And the paralytic they'd administered had done the job: although, she had to admit; it was nowhere near as fun when she wasn't fighting back.

An hour.

Two hours.

Five.

Nine.

At that time, Svetlana had worked like she was an artist with a paintbrush. The wreckage of her body was a show of how little she cared for human life, how little the whines of a woman trapped in her own body. Broken, bruised, cut up...a singular piece missing. Sveta carefully wrapped it in cloth, placing it into the box that was placed upon the metal tray beside her. "I know that it wore off a while ago. Are you still with us?" a cruel laugh followed, head cocking to the side as she used her arm to wipe at her brow.

A break from the headphones had only been granted, so when they were done, they could prolong it. But even Vitaly stood in the corner, uneasy in his features as he raised his chin. "Think we should take a break?"

A cutting look was all she gave him: shut the fuck up. Did I ask?

"Cut a Russian symbol into her hand...seeing as you want to question me."

Sofie squirmed away from the needle on instinct, even though she had nowhere to go to escape it. For the first time since she'd come to, her eyes widened and her heart was beating hard enough to burst out of her chest. Physical restraints, she could handle. But losing control over her own body?

She breathed fast and shallow was the paralytic spread through her body. First her fingers and toes stopped responding to her furtive commands and then her arms and even her breathing became automatic. Sofie tried to move her head from one side to another, but it was useless.

There was one spot on the wall in front of her that was darker than the rest. She focused on that one spot as headphones slid over her ears. If she just stared hard enough, she wasn't in a dingy, Russian torture space, but back on a beach in Miami. Even the ear splitting music faded away as her brain did. She wasn't here. She wasn't here. She wasn't here.

Whyte vs Parker: Dereck Chisora knocks out Carlos Takam | Boxing News

http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=23340 Whyte vs Parker: Dereck Chisora knocks out Carlos Takam | Boxing News - http://www.internetunleashed.co.uk/?p=23340 By James Dielhenn Last Updated: 28/07/18 10:43pm 4:20 Chisora was in fantastic form during and after the fight Chisora was in fantastic form during and after the fight Dereck Chisora incredibly knocked out Carlos Takam in a comeback victory that took the roof off The O2. The popular heavyweight was on the verge of defeat until he uncorked two colossal right hands in the eighth round - Takam, who took Anthony Joshua into the 10th round last year, was floored twice and could not recover on the second occasion.The mainstay of British boxing leapt on the ropes post-fight to soak in the feel-good atmosphere generated by a crowd who have followed his career for a decade and willed him into extending it further. Chisora was in serious danger inside the first round, which exploded into a brawl fought in his corner. Takam established himself as the bigger and stronger bully, pinning Chisora to the ropes and repeatedly hurting him with punches at close quarters.Chisora survived, enjoyed the crowd singing his name, and refused to sit down between rounds. Experienced Londoner Chisora needed every ounce of his toughness to get through the second round, built up through a gruelling career that has featured fights against Tyson Fury (twice), Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Dillian Whyte. But Takam was hitting him too frequently.Chisora was savvy enough to stay in the fight into the middle rounds, by which time it became clear he was dangerous with single punches. The left hook, in particular, found a home in the fifth round. But Takam, who had been knocked out in the past by a hook from Alexander Povetkin, maintained a high work-rate that seemed to be wearing Chisora down.A sensational sixth round saw the fans willing Chisora, aged 34, to roll back the years - he was shipping punishment to the extent where the referee Howard Foster considered stopping the fight, but then showboated by relaxing on the ropes. Somehow, he ended the round as the aggressor. Then out of nowhere, an overhand right from Chisora clumped Takam on the top of his head in the eighth round. Takam got up but an identical punch hit him moments later and finished the fight.Chisora, clad in his trademark Union Jack across his face post-fight, earned the WBA international title and, in the context of his age and having gone 3-3 in his previous six outings, earned perhaps the result of his long career.

Crisi libica: la Sicilia non vuole la guerra

di Agostino Spataro (sito) sabato 14 gennaio 2017 

 Le notizie frammentarie che giungono dalla Libia confermano: da un lato la pericolosa precarietà in cui si dibatte quel popolo, vicino e amico, a seguito del disastroso intervento militare di alcuni paesi della Nato, fra cui l’Italia; dall’altro lato il persistere di scelte politiche dilettantistiche da parte “occidentale” di fabbricare governi, tenuti con lo sputo, che- come si vede- rappresentano poco o nulla di quella immensa e complicata realtà.

Tutto ciò, senza tenero conto che- per la cd “comunità internazionale- il “valore” della Libia è dato, essenzialmente, dalle sue produzioni e riserve d’idrocarburi (le prime dell’Africa) e che queste ricchezze si trovano, prevalentemente a est del Paese (fra la Cirenaica e il confine con l’Egitto). Per me la Libia (che ho avuto la ventura di conoscere in passato) non è solo petrolio e gas, ma è, prima di tutto, il suo popolo mite e pacifico, le sue bellezze naturali, la sua storia e civiltà antiche, gli innegabili progressi sociali realizzati durante la Jamahiria di Gheddafi. All’inizio di questa brutta, controproducente avventura bellica ho scritto un libro (http://ift.tt/2k9xgHQ...) per evidenziare, documentare queste e altre cose e per ricordare ai nostri, nuovi governanti la lungimiranza della politica estera italiana (da Moro ad Andreotti, da D’Alema - e un po’ anche- a Berlusconi) verso la Libia. Per non dire dell’intensa iniziativa, unitaria e responsabile, dei maggiori partiti italiani (Pci, Dc, Psi). Nell’ultima guerra alla Libia (dico ultima perche l’Italia ne ha già fatte altre) è stata coinvolta pesantemente la Sicilia. La nostra Isola divenne il fronte più avanzato dell’attacco di alcuni paesi Nato (senza la Germania, però!), da cui partirono navi e aerei per migliaia di micidiali bombardamenti. Oggi, di fronte al mutato quadro politico di riferimento, che vede il sedicente governo di Tripoli ai margini di ogni ragionevole prospettiva di soluzione della crisi, la Sicilia potrebbe essere re-investita di tale ruolo. Questa volta, però, rischiando di esporsi a probabili misure, a interventi di rappresaglia. Ferme restando le analisi e le valutazioni di ordine politico e strategico (per altro fatte nel citato libro), ho scritto questa nota sospinto dal timore- se volete banale, ma altamente umano che penso di condividere con i miei corregionali siciliani- che un’eventuale, nuova guerra (anomala, sporca) si possa spostare anche in Sicilia, dove noi abbiamo famiglie, figli e nipoti. Capito cosa voglio dire? Ovviamente, tale preoccupazione vale anche per il martoriato popolo libico che da sette anni non ha più pace, ma solo distruzioni e morte. Mi fermo. Se volete, date uno sguardo al sottostante capitolo VI (parziale) del libro segnalato, scritto in tempi non sospetti e soltanto per amore della pace e della vera sicurezza di tutti i popoli del Mediterraneo. (a.s.) CAP. VI - L’ITALIA E LA GUERRA ALLA LIBIA Berlusconi: dalla contrarietà alla partecipazione È noto che, sulle prime, il capo del governo italiano, on. Silvio Berlusconi, non voleva la guerra contro l’amico Gheddafi. Temeva che un cambio di regime a Tripoli mettesse in discussione accordi chiacchierati ma importanti per l’Italia e per alcuni gruppi industriali in particolare. In realtà, Berlusconi la guerra l’ha subita o, se si vuole, accettata di mala voglia. Sarà stato fortemente sconsigliato dal persistere nel suo rifiuto o rassicurato nelle sue pretese? In un caso o nell’altro, non può essere assolto delle sue responsabi­lità politiche, poiché un capo di governo non si fa imporre una guerra da chicchessia. Se non è d’accordo o la rifiuta o si dimette dall’incarico. A lui ovvero all’Italia la gloriosa Triade (Usa, GB e Francia) ha lasciato la sola possibilità di accodarsi, di fornire basi, mezzi aerei, logistica e assistenza militare e di pagarne le eventuali conse­guenze. Per risolvere la crisi libica, la comunità internazionale poteva ten­tare la via del compromesso per giungere al cambiamento politico nel rispetto dei principi democratici e della concordia nazionale. L’Italia, tutta l’Italia di maggioranza e d’opposizione, doveva so­stenere questo tentativo proposto non da Gheddafi, ma da Paesi importanti come i cinque astenuti in seno al CdS dell’Onu (Germa­nia, Brasile, Russia, India e Cina). Doveva farlo anche per tutelare i suoi enormi, legittimi interessi minacciati da certe mire sostitutive che si celavano, per esempio, dietro lo slancio “umanitario” del si­gnor Sarkozy. Forse, un bel dì si conosceranno i veri interessi della triade inter­ventista che, certo, non è an­data a bombardare per tutelare i diritti umani, per rimuovere le con­dizioni politiche illiberali, le sofferenze dei cittadini libici o di altri Paesi arabi in subbuglio... Guerra chiama guerra. Da oltre 10 anni, è in corso una guerra infi­nita, con la scusa della lotta contro le “armi di distruzione di massa” (mai trovate), il terrorismo integralista, sottobanco foraggiato e/o incoraggiato, delle “missioni umanitarie” che tali non si sono dimostrate poiché hanno mietuto più vittime civili di quelle provo­cate e/o minacciate dai dittatori locali…

Interventi, come quello attuato da alcuni paesi Nato in Libia, sono un abuso evi­dente che, se non sanzionato, rischia di creare precedenti pericolosi per tutti i Paesi che hanno problemi di unità interna.

In Libia è stato violato un principio fondamentale delle Nazioni Unite, grosso modo salvaguardato in questo dopoguerra, che im­pone la non ingerenza, specie militare, negli affari interni di uno Stato sovrano, nemmeno per abbattere un regime illiberale. D’altra parte, non si può scatenare una guerra contro ogni "dittatore".  Ce ne vorrebbero alcune decine (di guerre), quanti sono oggi i ti­ranni in esercizio in varie parti del mondo. Sarebbe più giusto e profi­cuo porre nelle sedi politiche internazionali preposte, in base alla Carta dell’Onu sui diritti dell’uomo, la questione dell’avanza-mento democratico e dell’equità sociale nel mondo per isolare e sconfig­gere i dittatori residui, compresi quelli “amici” che nessuno di­sturba. Non si può continuare a scherzare col fuoco poiché, una volta ac­ceso, sarà difficile spegnerlo. Le degnissime persone che hanno voluto trascinare l’Italia in que­sta avventura dovrebbero chiarire all’opinione pubblica le vere ra­gioni di tale intervento, costoso e subalterno, che chiare non sono. Compresi, i leader del centrosinistra che non possono giustificare scelte così gravi con la contrapposizione al berlusconismo. Specie, quando, come nel caso libico, c’erano in ballo gli equilibri di pace nel Mediterraneo e gli inte-ressi fondamentali, per certi aspetti vitali, dell’Italia. Prima o poi, Berlusconi passerà. Come passeranno i suoi avversari che oggi affollano, senza gran costrutto, la scena politica italiana. Resterà l’Italia con i suoi problemi e con le sue speranze, con la sua impoverita rete di relazioni politiche, economiche e culturali internazionali. Oggi, nel mondo, l’Italia conta poco. Sicuramente, meno che nel recente passato quando, almeno nel Mediterraneo, un ruolo è riu­scita a svolgerlo, talvolta con esiti brillanti, con il contributo deci­sivo della sinistra italiana. La sua immagine risulta appannata, alterata. Si sta correndo il ri­schio d’indebolire quel ruolo, di ridurlo a mero espediente politico per confermare o ricercare vecchie e nuove sudditanze! Con grave pregiudizio per l’autonomia e la sovranità nazionali e la stabilità del Mediterraneo e del Medio Oriente. Il ruolo della Sicilia nella guerra La guerra di Libia sarà anche ricordata per avere inaugurato il nuovo ruolo assegnato alla Sicilia di piazzaforte militare strategica e nucleare della Nato e degli Usa, minacciosamente proiettata verso il Mediterraneo, il Medio Oriente e l’Africa. Dalle basi siciliane (da Sigonella, da Trapani) sono partite migliaia di missioni aeree di bombar-damento verso le coste libiche. Questo nuovo ruolo, che ha richiesto l’insediamento a Niscemi del progetto MUOS, non farà che aggravare, desertificare la realtà ci­vile e culturale di questa nostra Isola infelice, taglieggiata dalla mafia, mal governata da un ceto dominante imbelle e clientelare, sottoposta a una pesante condizione di “servitù militari”. Tre fattori che, insieme, contribuiscono a creare una situazione politica molto speciale, una sorta di regime a “sovranità limitata”. In queste condizioni, il futuro della Sicilia e dei siciliani sarà vin­colato e segnato da una logica di guerra e non di pace. Quello che abbiamo temuto sta accadendo... Un ruolo pericoloso che contrasta con lo spirito dell’art. 11 della Costituzione italiana e vanifica ogni sforzo per trasformare l’Isola in centro propulsivo di pace e di ponte per gli scambi economici e culturali, reciprocamente vantaggiosi, fra l’Europa, l’Italia e i Paesi delle rive est e sud del Mediterraneo. In pochi mesi, con questa decisione bellicista, è stata bruciata una prospettiva che le forze democratiche e pacifiste siciliane hanno cercato di costruire negli ultimi 60 anni.

“Was only stopping by to say hello. Would’ve said welcome back, but I didn’t want to assume the vibes of your return,” Rhys’ grin was full of boyish charm as he hung around the doorway, drumming his fingers rhythmically against it as he scanned his gaze over the returning doctor. “Thought I’d get the first non-proposition fuelled greeting of your return in before anyone else. You need a hand with anything? Sometimes the settling in period’s a little easier with an extra pair of hands, from one staff member to another.”

He would be advocating, heavily for the spot of head doctor back. Vitaly wasn't exactly kind and didn't have the best bedside manner but the stock room looked like hell. Banging could be heard from it as he began rearranging the items to best suit his need. He'd gone only to become a better doctor, to improve his techniques. A small tour of the mayo clinic's specialty burn unit. When he returned, informed his position had been taken over, he wasn't hurt. But he sure as hell wasn't thrilled he'd have to answer to someone else. Chucking out useless items into a tote to take to the village later, Vitaly muttered under his breath. He heard steps approach the door and turned, still mildly irritated. "Da? You need help? We have nurses for reason. Go see one of them. This may take time." Though he wore a white coat, his gaze, tattoos, and demeanors left no room to debate that Vitaly wasn't feeling welcoming.

Venturing a little further in, Rhys snuck a glance at the troublesome display in question and made a quiet noise of sympathetic understanding at the sight. No wonder the poor doctor was at the brink; having any part of his office look anywhere as chaotic as Vitaly’s shelves did made Rhys almost nauseous. “You want a hand getting things orderly?” Waving a hand flippantly, Rhys’ telekinesis gently shifted a few bottles around until something beginning to resemble alphabetical order began to form. His magic paused at the hellhound’s words and Rhys glanced at Vitaly with a boyish grin, a one-shouldered shrug accompanying it. “You don’t look too terrible yourself– but out of all the years to head elsewhere, you definitely picked a good one. I take it you heard about the assassination attempts? We lost Spain and Portugal’s councilmen through them and even had a few attempts here that ended up requiring trials and threats of execution for those accused, but fortunately, nothing major. Other than that? Same old, same old. You’ve barely missed a thing. How was your time away? Bring back any nice souvenirs? I'm expecting a fridge magnet at the least.”

Vitaly sighed as he looked back to the shelves, hands on his hips. "You could point me in direction of moron who now stocks shelves. That would be good first step." He murmured as he looked at the mess. "You look like all's well since I've been gone." A year was hardly a long reprieve but for some, it felt like a lifetime. "Did I miss anything good? Or just same old same."
