LEE MAIR says Partick Thistle still have their sights set on seventh place in the Premiership - despite dropping to 11th in the standings.
Alan Archibald's side crashed to a shock 4-2 defeat to crisis club Hearts at Firhill and it was to prove a day to forget for both clubs, with St Mirren's dramatic victory over Motherwell putting the Jags into the play-off place and sending their visitors down to the Championship.
With just the five post-split fixtures to go this term, it is Thistle who now have the biggest fight on their hands as they look to emerge victorious in a four-way battle to beat the drop.
But defender Mair reckons seventh-placed Hibernian, who face Aberdeen tonight, are also within the Jags' reach as they bid for a flying finish this term.
He said: "We're not thinking about the drop - we're looking at seventh. We're four points off Hibs who have a tough game against Aberdeen. All four teams should be looking at seventh as it's within touching distance.
"It's about ability and character now. You could get 11 fans who would work as hard as anyone but you need to control it. It's like playing a cup final - you play the team and not the occasion.
"There's five cup finals left and we need calm heads and ability. I'll easily take all the pressure because I'll handle it. If it takes the pressure off the younger guys then great because with their ability they shouldn't be where they are in the league."
Thistle got off to the perfect start against Gary Locke's side as Kris Doolan fired them ahead after just five minutes but by the time they added to their tally in the closing stages through Jordan McMillan, the Jambos had hit the goal trail to wrap up the points.
Strikes from youngsters Dale Carrick and Billy King and a Ryan Stevenson double ensured Hearts went down fighting and Mair knows it was an opportunity missed for Archibald's side.
He said: "There's four teams and four points separating us all and there's 15 points to play for so nobody is safe. It's in our own hands. If we can take the performance of the first 25 minutes into the remaining games then I'm sure we'll be fine but we need to dig deep.
"We've got players who will take chances so if we're creating I have no doubt we can stay in this league. We should have put the game to bed but we didn't and Hearts capitalised."
WHILE Thistle's defeat was all but secured with half- an-hour to go at Firhill, it was the drama in Paisley that would rub salt into their wounds come the final whistle.
St Mirren's late heroics against Motherwell lifted them out of the play-off zone as they also gained ground on Kilmarnock and Ross County.
The fight for survival is set to go down to the wire and former Buddies star Mair is well aware of what is at stake in the coming weeks.
He said: "I have a little bit of banter with the St Mirren boys but it's livelihoods you're talking about and you don't want to see anyone go down - it's horrible.
"I looked at the Hearts kids on Saturday and they don't know about their futures and that's the life of a footballer in Scotland.
"You need to look after yourself and for me that means Partick Thistle."

What is the gall bladder?
The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ situated directly under the liver in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
What is the function of the gall bladder?
Its main function is to collect and concentrate the bile that the body uses to digest fats. Problems with the gall bladder and biliary system are very common and consist of –
- Inflammation of the gall bladder and bile ducts
- Muscular spasms and/or poor contraction of the gall bladder wall
- Stones forming in the gall bladder and/or bile ducts
- Obstruction to the free flow of bile
What causes gall bladder problems ?
- Production of toxic bile by the liver
- Inadequate production of bile by the liver
- Sluggish flow of bile
- Excess amounts of cholesterol in the bile resulting in stone formation
- Infection of the gall bladder
- Poor dietary choices with excess consumption of gluten, other grains, sugar, dairy products and fried foods.
- The hormonal changes of pregnancy
- The oral contraceptive pill and some types of hormone replacement therapy
- Some types of blood disorders
What are the symptoms of gall bladder conditions?
- Indigestion and nausea after eating (especially fatty foods)
- Vomiting attacks
- Pain in the right upper abdomen, which often radiates to the right shoulder and back.
What causes gall stones?
Sometimes crystals precipitate out of the bile to form gallstones. Generally speaking the gall bladder becomes diseased or dysfunctional because the liver is producing unhealthy bile. The bile is either toxic or contains excess amounts of fat and bacteria.
What are the symptoms of gall stones?
The majority of gallstones stay in the gallbladder and cause no symptoms. However, if a stone moves it may obstruct the neck of the gall bladder or common bile duct giving rise to severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.
A stone in the common bile duct will frequently cause jaundice. Jaundice is a condition in which the skin and the eyes become yellow due to accumulated bile pigment. Some people with large stones in the gall bladder will never have any problems, and should not rush into surgery. In such cases you may want to try and dissolve the stones gradually over several years by following the recommendations given below. Of course you will also be doing your liver a good service, as you will be removing the unhealthy fats from the liver.
Acute cholecystitis is when the gallbladder becomes distended and inflamed often with resulting localized peritonitis or sometimes pancreatitis. It usually follows obstruction to the neck of the gallbladder or cystic duct by an impacted stone. Acute cholecystitis classically affects females in the 20 to 40 year age group but may occur at any age. The pain in the central and right upper abdomen is continuous and severe and increases in intensity over 24 hours. It frequently radiates around to the back and may be associated with nausea and vomiting. Fever is usual. The presence of gallstones and acute cholecystitis can usually be confirmed by an ultrasound scan. Repeated attacks of cholecystitis may occur if the condition remains untreated.
Recommended books
Generally speaking the gall bladder becomes diseased or dysfunctional because the liver is producing unhealthy bile. The bile is either toxic or contains excess amounts of fat and bacteria. To improve gall bladder problems, we must improve the quality of the bile, by improving the liver function. Even after the gall bladder is removed there may still be problems in the bile ducts inside & outside the liver. This is because the underlying problem of toxic bile has not been corrected.
Indeed after gall bladder removal the following things may still happen –
- Stones and gravel may form in the bile ducts inside and outside the liver
- The liver may develop fatty changes
- Thus it is important to take extra care of your liver if you have gall bladder problems, or if you have had your gall bladder removed.
- The best eating principles are outlined in the book "Save your Gallbladder and what to do if you've already lost it"
- Try to maintain a normal body weight. Include often – high fiber foods like raw fruits and vegetables, especially apples and pears, fish, chicken and grass fed meat.
- Avoid all dairy products and gluten.
- Avoid foods that contain high counts of bacteria, fungi and viruses – these are preserved meats, delicatessen meats, hamburger meats, smoked meats, and processed or junk foods. This is because these foods will trigger or exacerbate gall bladder infections.
- Avoid refined sugars and refined carbohydrates.
- Drink plenty of filtered water throughout the day – 8 – 10 glasses at least.
Remember: Dairy products, margarine and deep fried foods are not suggested for those with gall bladder and liver problems!
Raw juicing
Raw juicing is vitally important. Drink raw vegetable juice every day. Recommended juice recipes found in "Raw Juices Can Save Your Life" book are:
- "Gall Stones and Biliary Problems" juice on page 93
- "Liver Dysfunction" juices on page 116
Juices made freshly from raw fruits and or vegetables have unique healing and rejuvenating properties.
Common questions about the gall bladder:
Can I still do the Liver Cleansing Diet or follow Liver Cleansing principles even though my gall bladder has been removed?
Yes – in fact it is highly recommended as even after the gall bladder is removed there may still be problems in the bile ducts inside and outside the liver. This is because the underlying problem of toxic bile has not been corrected.
I have been diagnosed or believe I have gall stones – should I do a gall bladder/liver flush?
No – this is not recommended as a first step.
These flushes using olive oil, lemon juice or apple juice etc. work by shrinking the stones and causing the gallbladder to contract forcefully to hopefully expel the stones to be passed in the feces. Alternatively, a teaspoon of good quality apple cider vinegar mixed with a teaspoon of honey in a small glass of warm water and sipped slowly during every meal can be taken to help dissolve the stones.
These flushes are best done after at least 6 months of following the "Liver Cleansing Diet" principles and taking the recommended supplements to shrink and soften the stones before flushing. Once this has been done – the shrunken softened stones and remaining sludge may then be safely flushed out.
It is recommended to have an ultrasound of the gall bladder before undertaking the flush to make sure. The reason being that if the gall bladder is full of silent gall stones and a flush is undertaken – these stones may become impacted in the narrow bile ducts as they are flushed out. This may cause a tear in the duct.
Orthodox Medical Treatment
Gallstones which are not causing any symptoms require no treatment. Acute cholecystitis is commonly managed conservatively with bed rest, nil by mouth and intravenous fluids, plus an antibiotic. Strong analgesia (pain relief) is also usually needed. As repeat attacks are likely, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is recommended at some future date. This is also the preferred option for any gallstones which are causing symptoms.
These days, the operation is frequently done via a laparoscope (operating telescope) requiring only a very small incision ("keyhole surgery"). This means a much shorter hospital stay and much faster recovery. Other possible treatments for gallstones include the administration of bile acid preparations which can be used to dissolve certain types of stones. This takes anything from six months to two years and after the treatment is stopped 50 percent of the gallstones recur, especially if you don't follow our dietary recommendations. For these reasons it is rarely advocated.
Shock-wave treatment (lithotripsy) can be used in some cases to break up the stones, followed up by bile acid therapy. The role of this approach is still being evaluated. In our experience, by using these dietary and natural therapy measures, surgery can often be avoided.
Recommended supplements:
- Take1 teaspoon twice daily in raw juices or water. MSM is an organic sulphur which assists in improving function of the liver, gall bladder and biliary system and helps to reduce inflammation.
- Take 1 teaspoon twice daily in juices or 2 capsules twice daily with food – Improvement of liver function is vital. A good formula containing dandelion, St Mary's thistle, globe artichoke, lecithin and taurine should be taken daily. Lecithin is helpful as it aids in fat digestion and increases the phospholipid concentration in the gallbladder. Patients with gallstones have an abnormally low phospholipid : cholesterol ratio in their bile. Increasing the phospholipid concentration may therefore inhibit the development of gallstones and possibly decrease the size of pre-existent stones. Dandelion will not only help to prevent gallstones but can actually help to dissolve them. Dandelion increases bile production and causes the gallbladder to contract to expel any small stones and gravel. It also increases the amount of cheneoxycholic acid, which over time dissolve the stones.
Fibertone Powder
- Take 1 to 2 teaspoons with breakfast to assist in removing excess fats and cholesterol from the body.
Olive Life Tablets
- Take 2 capsules twice or three times daily – Olive leaf is a natural antibiotic helping to fight infection.
Selenium Complete Tablets or Selenomune Designer Energy capsules
- Take 1 tablet or capsule daily with food. Selenium will assist in reducing gall bladder inflammation and is a strong antioxidant.

This problem could be called the "horizontal seam reach" since the pebble broke a few years ago. I skip the pebble except as a foot hold later. The reach move is more about wing span than height. There are plenty of high feet at the crux. If this was on a route in Eldo, with a bolt at your chest, it would be rated 11a. One of the best highballs on Flag.
I've seen a friend fall twice grabbing the big sloper after the crux reach. It was a nice clean feet first fall onto the pads. And he was fine.

On that night, no one slept. It was a night of mourning. We cried and we tore our clothes. We pulled the hair out of our heads. We sat on the ground and mourned our martyrs. People who were left single with no families said, "We must escape immediately. Now, it is very clear what the Germans are planning, and anyone who refuses to escape will stay here to be hung." Nevertheless, some of us said, "winter is coming. Where will we escape to with little children?" Others tried to console themselves by saying that the Germans were building a big theater and that they would need us for at least six months so we should stay here until spring and then try to escape.
It was a night of tears and desperation until the morning came. We went to work, but we were like human shadows. A few survivors from the slaughter in Kurenets came to Vileyka. They Stealthily hid in the Zsinstand camp. It was more complicated to reach our camp inasmuch as it was watched carefully.
One day, around noon, I entered the barn to take some water to boil. All of a
sudden, I heard a strange noise from the roof. At first, I was sure it was a
cat. However, when I kept hearing the sound, I guessed that it wasn't a cat,
but a person. I called, "Who's there?" I thought that someone was
trying to commit suicide so I went out of the barn to let other people know.
Gitel Kapelovitch, the wife of David the tailor, stopped me and said,
"Don't run anywhere." She started whispering to me that her sister,
Dvushka, the wife of Eliyahu Chaim Alperovich, was brought here a few days ago
by Ingeleh Byruk, a gentile from Kurenets who saved many Jews. He hid her in
his carriage under a pile of hay for a few days, and now she was concealed here
and no one knew of it. Dvushka came down from her hiding place crying and
begging me not to tell anyone. Maybe later she said she would convince Shuts to
let her stay. Dvushka was beautiful, with all the prettiness of a Jewess. She
sounded so naïve when she said this. I said, "Dvushkaleh, don't stay
here. Run to the forest. Find people who will help you and you will survive.
For the love of God, don't stay here." My heart was crying inside. As if
to mock, she was blossoming in her beauty. After a while, Shuts took her to
work as a cleaning woman. A short time later when she left to work outside the
camp, some of the Kurenets inhabitants recognized her and immediately informed
the Germans that she had escaped the slaughter and that she was with us
illegally. One evening, two killers from the SS entered the camp. They found
her and took her, the next day she was released. We were very happy to see her
among us. We said, "Dvushkaleh, you must run out of here
immediately." "Where will I run," she begged with tearful eyes,
"My face will be a testament that I am a Jew anywhere. I must stay near my
sister. I am already lost." The next day, the two killers returned. She
cried and begged for mercy. She was held in prison for two weeks, where she was
tortured by every killer. Later, together with Itka Chadash, she was shot by
the killer, Gravah, behind the jail.

Many times I returned to his home and each time I returned to the camp very depressed because he would delay giving me the weapon. Every time he would raise the amount of money, he wanted for it. Finally, he took me up to his attic and gave me the "supplies". With excitement, I started kissing his hands. He was not satisfied with just kisses and asked me to give him some leather for boots, the only break he gave me was that I could give him the leather on a later occasion. He put the gun in a rag and tied it around my leg in case someone would check me. My heart was beating with happiness and excitement and in great spirits, I returned to the camp.
Of my secret, I only told my friend Yosef Zuckerman, and his eyes lit with happiness. However, both of us had no knowledge of weapons. I knew that Hertzel Alperovich used to serve in the army, so I was sure that he would know something about weapons. How shocked I was when Hertzel told me that you could not even try the gun because it locked the barrel with bullets.
My heart broke. My spirit was lifted again thanks to Kopeleh Specter who was
an absolute genius and in his hands, the gun became lethal. He fixed the gun
according to the exact rules. Now all I needed were bullets. Therefore, again I
started running around looking for the correct bullets amongst my Christian
acquaintances. Finally, I got three bullets.

When I returned to the work area, the group of killers entered. Amongst them were Koobah and the commissar for our area, Schmidt. They were followed by guards. Everyone was armed as if ready for a battle. At once, I turned the fox around to the inside and the smooth skin to the outside. I put it on a piece of wood and with a knife, I started working the skin. Our nervousness became fear when we heard the sounds of their creaking boots. All the workplaces were very busy. You could hear the sounds of hammers, saws, iron, etc. I was the last one to be visited. Koobah looked at me and at what I was doing with a look of great disrespect. He listens to my explanation of what I was doing. My heart died inside until we finally reached the blessed moment and they left. Now I could sigh with relief.
The results for our camp were only our great fear, but Koobah gave an order to eliminate the camp of Zsinstand. A few months later, on Saturday in November early in the morning before we even left for work, two young girls came to us running. One was the sister of Shalom the tailor from Kribitz, the other was Hashka, the daughter of Israel David from Kosita Street. Their hair was all messy and their eyes were turned around and strange with fear. They were talking in very confused order and crying hysterically. They told us what had happened in their camp. The night, when it turned dark, the killers had taken all of the children out of the camp on trucks. They were taken to the forest near the Jewish cemetery and all the children were murdered. Again, everyone in our camp started crying.
I had a particular part in this tragedy. My only sister, the baby of our family, Chanaleh. We could hardly walk to work. The carpentry was on the second floor, they could see through the window the black smoke from the direction of the Jewish cemetery. Again, people talked about escaping. The people who were single announced, We are going to escape, we are getting out of here immediately. Today we are going to run. We are not going to perish because of the families here who believe the Nazis. Look at the smoke, they yelled, Look and see. This is your own blood burning here. What are you waiting for? Very soon, they will bring their clothes for us to sort. Who is going to sort your own clothes? Who? Some of the family people said that they were right, but still among us were true professionals who believed that they were needed at least until Passover.
The Germans were building a theater and our work was necessary they said. These people would not let us run. They threatened us that they would stop us by force saying that if we escaped, everyone that stayed would be annihilated. Secretly some people managed to escape on that Saturday since that day the watch was not very careful, the guards were busy preparing for Sunday celebration. So on that day, about twenty escaped, amongst them Chetskel (Charles Gelman) Zimmerman, Tuvia Kopelovich, Moshe Lazer Torov, Chalvina Torov, Shimon Zimmerman, and Riva Gordon Zimmerman. Everyone thought that the German revenge would come soon. Women started calling to their husbands, What are you sitting for? Run and escape with them. We must save whoever we can. We dressed the children with the few clothes that we had and stood ready as if we were standing in the train station with our little bundles. All of a sudden, Shuts came and said, It's fine, the governor said that nothing bad would happen to us since we were useful Jews." Shuts continued saying that he thought we would manage to save ourselves through this war. We didn't really trust those promises. We knew that those were lies, but we were very fearful to escape on a winter day with little children. Therefore, for now we decided to stay.
On Monday, all the women were sent to take the clothes, the shoes, and other
belongings from the Zsinstand camp. They came back from their work destroyed
emotionally. We felt as if the gates of pity and the gates of revenge were
forever locked for the Jews. We were broken people and had no means to do
anything to control our fate.
One day, I with seven other men was called by Shots, it was a very early morning hour. I did not have any time to say goodbye to my wife and son. I could find no way of escaping. We were surrounded by Belarussian police, who were armed with machine guns, dressed in black clothes with gray straps tied to their sleeves. They ordered us to take shovels for digging. We were sure that our end was coming that they were taking us to dig our own graves. As usual, they made us work in pairs going in the direction of the Jewish cemetery. We immediately realized that that is where they were taking us, and Yitzkale, who was my partner, could hardly walk. I whispered to him, Itzka, if they ordered us to dig our own graves, we must escape. When they shoot us, at least we will be running. We shouldn't just accept our death quietly. We all told each other to do this whispering to each other. Gershon from Rakov, my business partner, said, With my shovel, I will kill at least one of them. I will cut him into two from up to down. And then I will die. Clearly, he would have been able to do this even without a shovel, just with his hand since he was so strong.
The local Christians were looking at us smiling and the Belarussian police were laughing saying, Say hello in heaven to the rest of the Jews. They brought us near the Jewish cemetery where they had killed our sisters and brothers, the citizens of Kurenets. Two of the police walked away to look for something and they ordered us to sit on the ground. The three other police stood around and said, Anyone who tries to escape will be immediately killed. Our teeth were shaking although the day was not cold and there was little rain and fog on the ground. They ordered us to get up and start to dig. One of us said, Why are you torturing us? If you wanted to kill us, do it right away. A policeman from Vileyka, someone, who used to be a shoemaker and learned his job with one of the Jewish shoemakers, started cursing us very dirtily. He ended is "speech" saying " first you must put in the ground the bodies of the Jews from the annihilated Zsinstand camp. Now, there is a danger of disease spreading to Vileyka", then he continued, "Your turn to die would come later."
The horrible sight is very difficult to describe. I don't think anyone has the strength to describe the details. Still today, I see it with all its horror constantly. There was a broken bathhouse in the area. In the chimney, which was all broken, there was a skeleton of a man that must have tried to hide there and was shot right there? All around the field were torn parts of bodies eaten by dogs and wolves. There was a cloud of black crows that covered the area. It looked like the plague of locusts had arrived. We had to fight them to get to the area. The smell was unbearable. The police let us tie something around our noses and mouths. There was no way we could work but the police said that they would kill us if we did not work. We will bring other workers and they will bury you too, they said. They started hitting us with their rifles so we returned to the job. Deep in our hearts we knew that our horrible job was a "mitzvah" since we were bringing to Jewish burial our dear ones. With our last might, we started collecting whatever was left of the bodies and put them in the hole that we dug. Here and there, we could identify from the clothes that were left some of the bodies. I could recognize Velvel Markman from Smorgon Street. He was saved from the slaughter in Kurenets and later reached the Zsinstand Camp. He begged to get a job there. I recognized him because he was a big man and I knew his coat and his color. I knew that my darling sister, Chanaleh, would be there. I thought that maybe I would find her body and I would bring her to a Jewish burial. I looked among the clothes. I also recognized another Jew from Smorgon. His name was Simon Danishevsky. At one point, he had worked with me as a painter. I recognized him by his short fur coat and his rubber boots that were full of paint. I buried him and continued looking.
All of a sudden Chanaleh, my Chanaleh her body was without a head
or arms. I recognized her from her blue coat. The coat was torn and full of
blood. I also recognized her belt. I couldn't control myself anymore. I fell to
the ground and held to what was left of her body. I started tearing my clothes
and ripping my hair out and cried with horror. My friends tried to separate me
from the body. The police knew what was going on and understood that I was
going insane so they took me away from the burial area and put me lying on the
ground. My friends continued without me. I was so destroyed that when we
returned I could not walk. They had to support me. This is how we returned to
the camp. The news that we brought that day was like salt on our open
We kept sending with him things that we wanted to safe keep. For us this was a miracle. This rare occurrence to find such a Christian man. He would sneak into our camp endangering his life each time. Danger could come from anywhere for him. We started preparing to go to the forest in full force. We prepared double souls for our boots we made them from the blankets. We started sewing warm clothes and underwear and we made duffel bags with sewing kits and anything else that could help us for life in the forest. We were preparing as if we were going on a long journey. Through that time, we were constantly worried that someone would leave prior to the set day and then the rest of us would be annihilated. People were particularly worried that I would go prior to the set day. Even my little three-year-old son would beg me, Take me to the forest. I also want to survive. He would say that every time I would wear my jacket to go to the Christian homes to talk to one of them about our plans. My heart was crying inside when I heard him beg. Each time I had to convince him that I was leaving but that I would also return.
Shuts was now convinced that hard labor would not save us. He knew very well that most of the people in the camp were planning to escape. Still, I was worried to let him know that I had weapons. However, I knew that he had good connections with a German native that hated the Nazis so I talked to Shuts and he talked to the German man. Eventually, the man sent me through Shuts sixty bullets for my gun and another gun for Yosef Zuckerman. To find a German behaving like this was unheard of. He was always telling us, Escape to the forest. The time of defeat for Hitler and his murderers is coming soon. Escape to the woods. Here, you won't survive. Yonah Riar from Ilya also got a gun, but when we finally escaped, he had no time to get hold of it.
Spring was approaching and the air was getting warmer and our hearts filled with good hopes. We all watched the tree branches to see signs of blooming. After a day of hard labor, hunger and fear, we would all gather at nighttime and all we would talk about was escaping and planning how to get the children and women out. The main thing that working against us was the fact that Vileyka was situated in a geographic area that was very hard to escape. A large portion of the town was surrounded by the river Vilya. From the north, the train tracks were constantly watched by the Germans. Moreover, that was the only way we could the large forests surrounding Kurenets.
During the slaughter in Kurenets, Gravah collected some Jews and brought them to the yard of the jail were he was living. There, he arranged them according to their profession to work in a big wooden barrack. With them were some laborers from the towns of Ilya, Krivitz, Smorgon, Oshmena, Voshenva, and other towns. There were professionals he brought to be used for his project. There were about thirty people, all single with no children. Among them were a few women. We knew of them being there, and they knew of us. They wanted to get in touch with us therefore occasionally they pretended that they did not have tools and they came to our camp to borrow tools. This way we knew of what was going on with them.
I remember at one time on Sunday morning the bell rang for us to go to work. We were all prepared for inspection. We were all sure that Shernogovitch was coming. His terrible name was known to every Jew in Kurenets. He was responsible for dozens of killings. When we saw that he was approaching, we all ran. However, when he came close, we realized it was not Shernogovitch, but it was Meir Alperovich son of Zalman and Reshka daughter of Yuda Alperovich. When he saw us running, he started yelling to us in Yiddish. We surrounded him and started asking, How is it that you are wearing Shernogovitch clothes? How could you be a policeman for the Nazis? Meir told us that yesterday the Germans murdered Shernogovitch, the collaborator, and for some reason, they ordered him to take the clothes off the body and to wear them. He ended his tale saying "maybe we would be lucky and revenge all our killers. Hopefully, I would be lucky enough to also bury Gravah the Horrible."
Gravah was eventually killed by land mines while he was strolling in his
carriage with his wife and child. The mines were put there by the partisans.
Just like our connection with Meir, we met other Jews who wanted to escape.
They also waited for spring. Their situation was much more difficult than ours.
They had less freedom, less food, and more torture. Still, some of them managed
to survive. At one point, they brought to Vileyka huge number of Jews from
Branovitz. They were all men who were survivors from many different slaughters
in the area of Branovitz. They told them that they were taking them to Russia
for productive work but they brought them here and they all lived in one big
barrack near the train station. The barrack was originally built as a barn for
produce by the Russians. They only put a little hay on the ground and that was
how they lived. They gave them very little food and no sanitary help. Many
diseases spread amongst them. People died every day. The Germans would also
kill a lot of them. Their main job was cleaning the tracks, putting supplies on
the train, and taking supplies off the train. We had some communication with
them, but it was very difficult. We could only meet them when we were sent to
the train station to take some coal. There we would have a minute to tell them,
Escape to the forest. We quickly told them the forests and villages
where they could find Jews and partisans. We tried to help them in any way we
could, giving them cloth to bandage their wounds. They also, like us, had
different opinions. Some thought that they should continue working, and others
thought that they should immediately escape. However, every day some of them
would die. At the end, only very few managed to escape to the forest. A few of
them survived.
Other than these professional people, the Gentiles did not know some professions. On that account some Jewish people who were herbal medicine makers worked for the Germans. From Germany came merchants who established a factory for pharmaceuticals. Among those people were people who were saved from the Kurenets slaughter. Among them were Gershon Ayeshevsky, his wife and children; Cantor and his father-in-law Mendel Canterovitch. Originally, they all escaped to the woods but they could not withstand the difficult conditions there so they returned to Vileyka. We were very bitter when we thought about that. For us, the forest was the ideal, the aim of our desires. Here they came and destroyed the image of our idea. We still kept in touch with them. The letters that The Beard would bring us from the Kurenitzers said one repeated thing, Bring weapons. Bring bullets. Go the forests and save your lives. When we would read the letters, we would shake from excitement. Everyone was looking for bullets. Each time, prior to The Beard's arrival, Hertzel Alperovich would take two pieces of wood with a deep space between them, and there we would hide bullets. Once the bullets were in, we would cover the sides and put dirt on it with mud so that no one could see that it was recently disturbed. Then, we would take it to a place in the yard of the hospital that was next to our camp and put it on the ground. The Beard would go all over the yard, as if he was looking for junk and he would take our wood with the bullets together with other junk to bring to our brothers in the woods. We would call the wooden plaques, the Tablets of Revenge. We did not have much chance to send such merchandise because it was very dangerous and it was hard to get bullets.
Spring was coming and we sat there as if we were sitting on hot coals. Each day seemed to us like a generation. The three brothers from Vileyka knew that their end was coming. The students already knew their jobs, so they decided to escape to the woods. They left with a lot of possessions, clothes, money, and valuables. They had many acquaintances in the villages around and we all were very envious of them. We were very worried that day, thinking that the Germans would punish us for their escape. However, the incident passed with no problems. To their homes their assistants entered. The fear subsided. Now we were very happy that they escaped and we were telling each other how they had weapons and how they were so strong and that they contributed a lot in the fight since they knew the villagers.
Not many days later, we were all shocked. The oldest of the brothers came to our camp dressed as a farmer so no one would recognize him. We found out that he came as a messenger for his brothers to beg the killers to let them come back. He came to beg for forgiveness for him and his two brothers saying, "We did a foolish thing. The police told us that they were going to kill us, but now we know they were joking, we are sorry for what we did and come to ask for forgiveness and to let us be come back". We saw him as totally insane and we would have done right by his brothers and family if we had killed him immediately before he went to the authorities. If we had done so, we may have saved the rest of his family.
Although there was some truth about the difficult life in the woods, to us it was nonsense. We spit in his face and warned him not to do it. Despite the difficulties in the woods, he was better off there. However, he refused to listen. This was used as a big enforcement to the people who were against going to the forest. They said, Look. Those strong brothers with their connections could not withstand the conditions in the forest, so how could the rest of us do it? We answered that the day of death would come here and that we would not stay here waiting. We would escape to the forest. The Germans were very happy with this incident saying that the Jews would not be thinking anymore about going to the forest.
They let the three families return to their jobs. When the three families left,
they took with them Yosef Norman, but he did not return with them. He had found
connections with Jews and partisans in the forest. He survived and now lives in
Israel. Some days later, Shimshelevetch, the veterinarian, was taken out of his
home to be transferred to the Zsinstand camp, but he succeeded in escaping and
survived. After a few weeks, the Germans killed the brothers who returned with
their families.
We watched with envy the local Christian citizens walking around freely enjoying the splendor. Here we were imprisoned waiting to be slaughtered.
Some urge, I did not know where it came from, made me not go to work. I stood strong against Shuts and did not go to the train station to put the coal for the hospital as he ordered me. I stayed only in the hospital yard to help with taking down some things. For some reason, I just could not be useful that morning. All I could think about was our "Tablets of Revenge" (the wood planks with the bullets) that were lying at the edge of the yard of the hospital. I was intently waiting for The "Beard" to come and take them. I was looking all around searching for him, and the rest of the workers did not understand my nervousness. Only Shmuel Ashkenazi, the son of Sipka the widow, knew the secret and would answer the people who were questioning my strange mood saying, Leave him alone. He is not healthy today.
Finally, at noon, I found The Beard inside the camp. I did not know how he entered the camp without me seeing him. He brought a letter telling us to be ready to escape this coming Saturday. The letter said that across the train tracks their would be carriages to take the women and children, and a young Christian women would come and help us escape. Our hearts were filled with excitement and we wanted to dance with happiness and to kiss the feet of our savior. Grandfather, may he rest in peace, would say he was the spirit of Elijah. We kept blessing him and thanking him, but we knew that he should not stay for long. I said my goodbye and told him I would see him in his home next time. He got out using a side alley and I returned to the job. My heart was beaming with excitement. I could not wait for evening to come to let the rest of the people who were working in other areas the good news. The Beard was walking around the yard taking all kinds of junk, among them the Tablets of Revenge. It seemed like everything was fine so I returned to the camp through a hole in the fence. With me also Shmuel Ashkenazi. We were ecstatic, but very quickly everything turned upside down.
The tale goes like this There was someone in the camp that knew the secret of the tablets, and he told the secret to his wife. Naturally, she told another woman about the secret. When The Beard took the junk and left the yard, they saw that a Belarussian policeman approached him and took him in the direction of the German police. Here in the camp, people were sure that the beard was arrested. The woman who knew the secret of the tablets could not control herself. Full of fear, she ran to her room, gathered her children, and started screaming that any minute the Germans would come and kill us. Not only this, but she ran to the area where the carpenters were working and told them the awful news. Immediately, everyone panicked. When Shuts heard this, he got his gun and suit and ran. Shmuel Ashkenazi and I were paralyzed. We did not know what to do. At first, I wanted to tell them to calm down, but soon I realized it was like a big wave that was going sweep me with it if I did not save myself. I ran to my wife and yelled, Rosa! Quickly take the child and run to Navashevah. Navashevah was a Christian woman who promised to help us in our time of need. Her family was very helpful to us prior with encouragement and helped us getting weapons. I took the weapon and had no time to take all the bullets, only the bullets that was in the weapon. I put the new boots and the short fur coat on, but the rest of the clothes that I had prepared, I had no time to take. I could not forget my loyal friend Yosef Zuckerman who helped me so much, so I quickly ran to his wife and told her to run with my wife to the Christian woman. Yosef was at that point busy painting not far from the camp. I was afraid to run to him using the regular road, so I jumped over the fence to let him know.
In the paint shop, I found Eliyahu- Moshe the painter, and he told me that
Yosef went to get paint. I told him to immediately escape. I returned to the
camp to see if Yosef was there. There, my wife Rosa told me that Yosef, his
wife and son, had already escaped. They wanted to take her but she waited for
me. I said for her to take the Jewish signs off herself. While talking, I
started taking all the signs off her clothes and ordered her to immediately
run. My little son was begging me to take him with me. I was surprised at my
decision for them to run alone, but I realized that this was the best way since
if we went together on a working day it would cause more suspicion. Soon, I
said to myself, we would meet at Navashevah's house. I walked on the sidewalk
with my hands inside the fur coat holding the gun. I thought that if someone
stopped me I would immediately shoot him. The people of the camp spread all
over. While walking, I met Yitzchak Alperovich, his wife Batshevah, and the two
children. Yitzchak was walking holding a shovel as if he was going to work, but
how foolish it looked going to work with two babies! I walked by them and
without stopping I said, "Are you taking a leisure journey or are you
escaping? Hold each child and run to separate areas. Don't walk together.
I walked by our first living space where I had been so tortured. The place
where my sister, Chanaleh, was taken to her death. From afar, I saw a group of
German soldiers doing some physical exercise. Should I return? No, I decided to
continue thinking that they would be too busy with their exercise to pay
attention to me. I arrived at the house of Navashevah, the Christian woman. I
stood by the gate at her yard but to my surprise, it was locked from the
inside. From the house, I heard the pleading voice of Navashevah. She told me
that there was no way she would let my wife in when the Germans were standing
across from her yard. This could have caused death to her home. She suggested
running to the forest and surely, she said I would find my wife there. While
saying this, she locked her shutters.

Boyle to play more minutes. Youngsters paired on blue line
Defenseman Dan Boyle, who was mostly regulated to power play and 4-on-4 minutes in his return from a freak wrist injury Monday, will not be limited tonight as the Lightning face the Devils.
After playing most of the season rotating the defensemen around, Lightning coach John Tortorella said he will use some fixed blue-line pair ups. Paul Ranger will play with Filip Kuba. Boyle will play with Brad Lukowich on another line.
Tortorella feels comfortable pairing two youngsters together: Shane O' Brien (24) with Mike Lundin (22) on the blue line. The emergence of Lundin, who has gone from playing at the team's rookie camp in Traverse City to 20 minutes of ice time, combined with the disappointing play of the veteran Lukowich has been one of the surprising stories in the first month of the season.

Cattle ranching a way of life; Ron Eagon keeps it in the family
Ronald Eagon dreamt of being a carpenter until he was in the eighth grade and was tapped to take over his father's farm.
He left the farm to work at the elevator in Rhames and later in the oil fields for more than 20 years, but something called him back to agriculture.
Now age 63, he wakes up each morning at 5 a.m. to begin work on his more than 200-head cattle ranch 12 miles south of Marmarth, near the Little Missouri River. The ranch is a family operation with his son, Neyl, working as his right-hand man and his wife, Lori, formerly of Mott, pitching in.
"The plans right now are that I'll ranch for three more years and then see where things are," Ronald Eagon said. "If my son wants to run it, I will help him out. I'll probably stay in the cattle business, if my health stays as is, for another 10 years. If my son takes over, I'll still be able to travel and just more or less help him out. This is a job that is hard to get me away from because I really like, especially in the winter when I feed cattle. It's fun to feed in the manger or the pasture. I just spread the chopped hay and watch the cows come."
Neyl Eagon, who has worked on the ranch for six years, focusing on the cows, spraying and fencing, shares his father's sentiments.
"I like it better than an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job," he said. "I get to set my own hours and do what I need to do without anyone overlooking me. Cattle ranching is great."
Julie Ellingson, executive vice president of the North Dakota Stockmen's Association, said there are approximately 11,000 to 14,000 cattle ranches of varying sizes across the state.
Among those ranchers is Ronald Eagon, who has about 25 years of experience working with cattle and is in the fifth year of running a hay grinding business.
"I bought the grinder for my own use, but it was more than I needed for my small operation on the ranch and decided to start the business," he explained.
He grew up on a ranch with cattle and sheep, but when he went out on his own, he decided to stick strictly with cattle.
"Out of the sheep deal, I pretty much just learned how to shear them," he said. "Work with the sheep was great, but they take extra time and the wool prices are not that great, so I decided to go strictly with cattle, and I really like cattle when you can build up the breed to what you want."
Ronald Eagon had to explain his business to his wife when the couple married more than a decade ago and moved to the ranch.
Lori Eagon said the farm life had never appealed to her growing up in the city limits of Mott, but she wouldn't have it any other way now.
"When I met Ron, we lived in Rhames and he rented this land we live on now and raised cattle. One day, I asked him to take me out to the ranch, and although it was strange for me to be living on a farm, I've decided that I would never want to live in town again," she said. "In Mott, there's a lot of vehicle noise and more traffic too. Out here, you can hear the birds, your neighbors aren't too close and you can see the stars clearly every night. It's peaceful on the ranch. The only thing I'm definitely still afraid of out here are the snakes."
The newest addition to the ranch came last August with the purchase of two male alpacas.
The ranching way of life is the only way of life now for the Eagons.
"It's the type of life that once you get into it, it's hard to get out," Ronald Eagon said. "It's not stressful like it was in the oil fields where you have people you have to answer to. There's always something to be done, but you're able to work at your own leisure for the most part. Yes, there are things that you have to get done, but so much of what you need to do can wait till tomorrow if need be."

Beginning with the pontificate of John XXIII, the popes have worn red Moroccan-leather loafers with white cotton socks in both everyday and liturgical contexts. It wasn't always that way: For centuries and up through the pontificate of Pius XII, "the popes also made use of richly embroidered velvet slippers, often sewn with gems, which matched the colors of the liturgical vestments," notes The Church Visible: The Ceremonial Life and Protocol of the Roman Catholic Church by James-Charles Noonan Jr.
It is often claimed that Pope Benedict XVI wears red shoes made by Prada. In fact, they are made by an Alps-based shoemaker, according to Zenit.
Have you always wondered about some aspect of the faith?
Or maybe you're curious about Pope Benedict trivia.

I love your web edition of ncregister. I read it every day and have subscribed to the print edition. I have also told everyone I know to do the same. I am trying to find where I can purchase a new missal when they are available. If you could come up with a list of resources on the web for obtaining a new missal it would help a lot of people.
Thank you and God bless.

By SHANNON WATKINS
Saturday's Pulaski Grand Slam Bluegrass Festival at Calfee Park had a modest turnout and, despite the intermittent light rain, much milder weather then the previous two years' events.
Joey Cox and Company performed first, in a steady set of traditional and original songs, including a soulful cover of "You Put the Blue in Me" and a playful rendition of "More Pretty Girls Than One."
Although Cox is a Pulaski native, this was his first Grand Slam festival. He bantered with the crowd between songs. "I'm the last house on Cox Hollow Road," he said. "If you're a redneck, you might have ridden a four-wheeler up there."
Adam McPeak and Mountain Thunder of Max Meadows took the stage next, offering a strong act, including songs such as "That High Lonesome Sound" and an especially well-received cover of Flatt and Scruggs' "Head over Heels."
Last up was the James King Band of Danville, giving the crowd a spirited performance. King also joked with the audience, switching with ease from the haunting tone of songs like "Crazy Heart I Wish I Didn't Love You" and "Rank Stranger" to a lighter mood when he asked, "How do I look? I went on Weight Watchers and lost 146 dollars."
Each of the three bands played a 45-minute set; in between each set, items were raffled away to ticketholders. Numbers were read off by of various helpers of the day's emcee, Pulaski Economic Director John White, who called winners down to the field to receive their goods.
Prizes included guitar magazines, gift certificates for free food from Tom's Drive In and Bella Pizzeria, free bike rentals from Pulaski Bikes LLC, free greens fees from Pulaski Country Club and free T-shirts.
A child-sized T-shirt went to a distinctly grownup gentleman, prompting White to tell him, "Wear it with pride."
The winner received his prize with good humor, saying, "Any time you can go hear bluegrass music is a good day."
In addition to the main giveaway was a 50-50 raffle, in which one winner would receive half the money the raffle raised. Ticketholder Brenda Schnell, a North Carolina native who has lived in Pulaski since 1982, came down but declared she was giving the money back.
"I would like to donate this in hopes that we have the festival next year," she said, to surprise and applause.
"That's a winner!" said Jennifer White, assisting John White with the cash giveaway.
Schnell later said the gesture was spontaneous. "Well, it's just because I love bluegrass music. They've had this for three years and I've been every year. I just love every kind of live music but especially bluegrass." She continued, "I think if the town goes to the trouble of putting on a live event, we should support it."
The festival ran from 2 p.m. until after dark. Popcorn, soda and water were sold by the park's concession stand, while J&D Productions of Dublin sold hot dogs, nachos, lemonade and other fare from a food truck. CDs and band merchandise, along with festival gear, were sold near the entrance.

The northern and western boundaries are the first horizontal/vertical lines on their respective map edges. The southern boundary is the horizontal line just above the words "House Springs". The eastern boundary is the first really vertical line from the right side of the map (to its right is a nearly vertical line that is very heavy at its bottom end - the result of a crease in the scanned paper map). The river in the northwest corner of the township is the Meramec.

JPMS Awapuhi Wild Ginger line Debuts
John Paul Mitchell Systems has gone back to the future by celebrating its 30th anniversary with a line launch that harkens back to the iconic Awapuhi Shampoo that started it all.
Company Co-Founders Paul Mitchell and John Paul DeJoria established a sustainable solar-powered farm 30 years ago in Hawaii to grow and harvest the awapuhi ginger root, which natives of the Islands had long recognized as a source for healing and restorative hair and skin care.
Awapuhi Shampoo was the first product in the John Paul Mitchell Systems vast collection of professional hair care products. With the growth of chemical services and thermal styling tools, salon clients can get just about any hair they want, but the price is often dry, damaged and moisture-starved hair. It is reported that more than 90 percent of the population describes their hair in these terms.
The Awapuhi Wild Ginger Luxury Hair Care line from John Paul Mitchell Systems is fortified with the companyâs KeraTriplex blend to heal hair from the inside out. Kera Triplex, which is nearly identical to human hair protein, is derived from New Zealand sheepâs wool. The products are also sulfate free to protect and preserve hair color.
The eight-product Awapuhi collection is comprised of two keratin treatments, a shampoo, a conditioner, two texturizing products and two finishing products.
⢠Kera Triplex Treatments: step-one in the treatment process, this product is applied from a vial and the keratin protein is absorbed in the hair.
⢠Keratin Intensive Treatment: Step-two: A deep penetrating cream, this product is applied with 10 minutes of heat. It can also be retailed as a weekly, at-home treatment.
⢠Moisturizing Lather Shampoo: Sulfate-free shampoo that hydrates protects color and contains keratin protein to repair damage.
⢠Keratin Cream Rinse: A daily conditioner that detangles, strengthens and adds moisture and shine.
⢠Texturizing Sea Spray: Adds the coveted, tousled beach look while adding volume and movement.
⢠Styling Treatment Oil: A lightweight oil that eliminates frizz and adds softness, shine and silkiness.
⢠Finishing Spray: Provides flexible, shiny hold with humidity and UV protection.
⢠Shine Spray: Provides a natural finish with a fine, lightweight mist.
Robert Yates, vice president of marketing for John Paul Mitchell Systems, says this of the new line, âIâve never been more excited about a product line than I an with the Awapuhi System. This line gets down to the basicsâreplenishing hair with moisture and keratin protein for strength. You can actually watch the moisture and protein working into the hair.â
John Paul Mitchell Systems is supporting the new line with an extensive consumer print advertising campaign designed to drive demand among salon clients. To learn more, visit paulmitchell.com.
To commemorate the company's 30th anniversary, John Paul Mitchell Systems has launched Awapuhi Wild Ginger Luxury hair care products, made with the awapuhi root found in Awapuhi Shampoo, the company's iconic first product.
The new Awapuhi Systems collection of treatment and finishing products, leaves hair full of moisture, strength and shine.

Steinberg Twins Are Two of a Kind
Three weeks after graduating from Kogod, Danny Steinberg, BSBA '10, began competing on one of the biggest poker stages in the world.
He's sitting next to the biggest names in the game along with thousands of other competitors - including Max, his identical twin brother - with a multi-million dollar prize on the line.
After several weeks of smaller events, the most rewarding tournament of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has begun: the main event.
Danny and Max, who also studied at Kogod, are both trying their hands at the $10,000 buy-in no-limits Texas Hold 'em main tournament that crowns the unofficial World Champion of Poker.
The brothers are putting years of perfecting their poker faces to the test as they try to cash in, Vegas-style, on their first visit to the WSOP. This is the first year the twins were age-eligible to compete.
Max (who left AU in 2008 to play poker full-time) won $352,916 and placed second in a smaller no-limits Texas Hold 'em tournament in June.
"Unfortunately I have not had much success in a tournament yet," his brother Danny said of the WSOP. "It's frustrating... Even though poker is predominantly a game of skill, luck is still a big factor, so maybe it will turn around soon."
Although Danny has won a modest amount in the WSOP so far, he's found most of his poker success online. In fact, he was nominated by the website pokertableratings.com as one of the top ten online poker players in the world.
Both brothers have an affinity for playing online and regularly contribute to poker forums and strategy discussions through their shared blog, "Suited Aces."
"I'll continue to play mainly online," Max said. "Maybe I'll play a few more big tournaments... but I think online poker is still the most profitable poker for me."
Looking beyond the virtual tables, Max plans to invest his WSOP winnings in real estate in the brothers' home state of Iowa.
After his run in Vegas, Danny will return to Iowa to play poker full-time with a business career waiting in the wings.
"I don't know how long I'm going to keep this for a living," he said. "Even though it's a fun and high paying job, doing something entrepreneurial is a really exciting idea to me."
Danny specialized in finance while at Kogod and says that his knowledge from the game translated in the classroom.
"I learned a lot about finance from playing poker – concepts of variance, ROI, theory," he explained. "I feel like my skills would translate really well to [investment banking]."
Max says that, because of poker, he feels more prepared for his future than ever.
"When I went to American for a few semesters I wasn't ready to work as hard as I needed to," Max said.
"Now, having worked hard in poker I've come to realize that if I'm going to succeed in anything, I will need to put in the hours."

Bryan Burrough
If one thing is comforting during these times of economic distress, its the occasional dose of schadenfreude. Not to say that we love hearing about financial ruin or anything, but when a very rich man has to publicly downgrade from, say, a new Bentley to a reconditioned Beemer, we secretly feel pretty good. Get a fix with The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes, the new book by Vanity Fair writer Bryan Burrough, which chronicles the ups and downs of erstwhile oil moguls Roy Cullen, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison and Sid Richardson. Money aside, there are plenty of salacious details: Cullen was an elementary school dropout, Hunt was a bigamist and Murchison did dirty deals with J. Edgar Hoover. Meet Burrough at Brazos Bookstore and hear about the demise of the superrich. Trust us, itll make you feel better. 7 p.m. 2421 Bissonnet.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan wants to prove that General Motors Corp. can profitably build small cars in the United States.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm told reporters Wednesday that the state is "being as aggressive as we have ever been" to land the roughly 1,200 jobs that would come with producing small cars for the automaker.
GM is considering moving production of a new subcompact car from Asia to plants in Orion Township, Mich., Spring Hill, Tenn., or Janesville, Wis. The plants are scheduled to go on standby later this year or are already closed.
Granholm says Michigan is going to show that the car can be built "in a competitive fashion."
Michigan lawmakers expect GM will announce a decision by the end of June or early July.

Tunisia - Selling and buying
Reaching the consumers
Marketing opportunities
The importance of the idea of a brand: the brand image is a fundamental part of the positioning of a product and the reassuring of the consumer. The reputation of the brand seems to be an important factor for 81% of people polled.
The importance of communication: the effect of a person's family or friends (58%) influences purchasing much more than advertising (26%).
After sale services are more and more appreciated. Local customers are not very confident with new products and brands without a local representative. Direct marketing is not very developed.
Distribution network
In spite of the notable changes that the distribution sector has seen over the last few years, especially with the spread of supermarkets and the opening of hypermarkets, the market share of organized distribution is barely 12%. The sector remains dominated by the retail trade which is the essential element of the distribution circuit, especially in foodstuffs.
In Tunisia, the exclusive distribution contracts are prohibited. Wholesale and retail marketing is not allowed for foreign companies. To protect local business, hypermarkets need authorisations in some areas.
In spite of the unquestionable evolution of the distribution landscape in Tunisia (with an average annual growth rate of 15% over the last four years), the sector presents a substantial growth potential.
At the present time, the organized distribution sector in Tunisia hinges on three main actors:
- The Mabrouk Group, the owner of Monoprix since 1999. This group has rapidly set up an expansion strategy, both internal and external. In particular the group bought out the Touta chain in 2003 then bought the main outlets of the chain "Le passage". At the same time, the group went into partnership with the French group Casino, which allowed it to set up in the hypermarket segment (Géant). With a market share estimated at 36%, the Mabrouk Group, under all its names, is the leader in the sector.
- The Chaibi Group, which began in the hypermarket segment (Carrefour) and is growing in the supermarket segment under the name of Champion. The group recently bought out the Bonprix supermarket chain, which brings the estimated market share of the group to 31%.
- The public Magasin Général, which remains the leading supermarket chain in terms of number of outlets (43), with a turnover of 152.2M TND, below that of Monoprix. This firm, which has been put on the list of companies to be privatized, could see substantial growth once it is controlled by private investors, favoring the emergence of a third important actor in the sector. It seems probable that the authorities will favor this scenario ( a third actor) rather than a take-over by one of the other two actors.
Finally, let us note that Promogro (13% of market share) is a rather different case as it is positioned on the "wholesale-retail" market.
Market access procedures
Bilateral agreements with the European Union.
The country is also part of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), a pact of the Arab League entered into force in January 2005 which aims to form an Arabic free trade area.
Pharmaceutical industry is protected. All imports of pharmaceutical products are controlled by the Central Pharmacy of Tunisia. Agricultural products from Arab and North African Nations have preferential tariff rates.
Tunisia sometimes applies anti-dumping duties for which the basis and the reasons for application are not clearly defined and which can sometimes be considered as minimum prices for the calculation of Customs duties.
All goods benefitting from the free import regime are imported under cover of an import certificate and a commercial invoice.
Goods excluded from the free import regime can only be imported with import authorizations issued by the Ministry of Trade. These import authorizations are valid 12 months except for certain sensitive goods.
These applications, obtained from Chambers of Commerce, are filed against a receipt with an approved intermediary who sends them to the Ministry of Trade.
Imports made under the compensation scheme and imports without payment are subject to special regimes.
Customs procedures are as follows: either quick collection by simplified procedure (Request for collection authorization: DAE); or carriage to the factory under Customs seal or under escort; or inspection at the factory by the on-site Customs officer; or later regularization before export.
Imported goods could pay tariff rates up 200%. All goods are subject to a fee of 3% of total duties paid in the import. VAT is also applicable (18% for most of goods). There is a consumption tax for goods competing with local production. Rates vary from 10% to 700%. Luxury goods pay the highest rate.
Organizing goods transport
96% of Tunisian foreign trade is carried out by sea. More than 27 million tons of goods transit through Tunisian ports. The port of Radès has an important place in the national transport chain through its specialization in container traffic and rolling units (essentially trailer traffic). It carries out 22% of global traffic, 90% of the tonnage of containerized goods, 90% of the tonnage of goods loaded on rolling units, 92% of container traffic in TEU, 91% of the traffic of rolling units and 23% of ship traffic registered in all Tunisian commercial ports.
The airline company Tunisair carries one third of passenger traffic and half of goods traffic in the region. Around 45,000 tons of freight transit through Tunisian airports.
There are three motorways linking Tunis and M'saken, Bizerte and Béja. Road transport dominates land transport of passengers and goods.
The railway line Tunis-Borj-Cédria is the main line. The line Tunis-Sousse-Gabés has been electrified. More than 3.200 million tons/km transit through rail traffic.

Hyderabad: Prevailing severe heat wave conditions is taking a toll on poultry industry in Telangana. Chicken production has dipped to an all-time low due to non-availability of water required for rearing birds. As a result, dressed chicken prices in the state have shot up to Rs 200 per kg.
Many poultry farms are closing down as the managements are finding it difficult to procure water to keep the sheds cool to protect chicks from heat. Most of the borewells around the poultry farms have gone dry. Mortality rate is also high among the surviving birds due to scorching heat.
Telangana has over 10,000 major poultry farms with about 70 million (7 crore) live birds of broiler and layer breeds. Speaking to The Hans India, Telangana Poultry Federation leader D Sudhakar said the heat wave conditions had an adverse effect on chicken production. It has gone down by 20 percent to 30 percent.
In the normal season, chicken production would have been around 3.5 crore kg per month in Telangana districts. Under the influence of the heat, bird weight was not increasing up to the expected mark. In the normal weather conditions, each bird would grow up to 1.5 kg to 2 kg weight.
But now it is less than 1.5 kg, Sudhakar explained. Most of the poultries are located in Ranga Reddy , Warangal and Nalgonda districts which bore the brunt of severe water crisis this year."Birds cannot withstand a high temperature of about 40 degrees and we were helpless in bringing down the temperatures in the poultry farms," Sudhakar said.
Sudden decline in chicken production has resulted in steep hike in the prices of chicken. It has now touched Rs 200 from Rs 150. Though chicken consumption is low in summer, scarcity of the commodity has led to abnormal increase of prices across the state. The heat wave had similar effect on egg production.

The former official facing the most charges in the alleged looting of the working-class suburb of Bell was ordered Wednesday to stand trial on yet another charge, this one involving his interest in a horse-racing venture with a fellow city official whose engineering firm received more than $10 million from Bell.
Superior Court Judge Henry J. Hall ruled at a preliminary hearing that there was sufficient evidence that former City Manager Robert Rizzo knew his involvement with former Planning Director Dennis Tarango represented a conflict of interest. He ordered Rizzo to return to court March 30 for an arraignment.
Rizzo now faces 55 counts, including charges of misappropriation of public funds, conspiracy and falsification of public documents.
Prosecutors say he was the ringleader of a scam that looted more than $6 million from Bell, using public funds to pay himself and others exorbitant salaries that were illegally hidden from the public. His former assistant and six former members of Bell's city council also face charges. Rizzo and the others have pleaded not guilty.
When he was fired last year, Rizzo had an annual salary and compensation package of $1.5 million. Four of Bell's five part-time City Council members, all since recalled, were paid about $100,000 a year for service to a city where one in six people live in poverty.
Tarango testified Tuesday that he and Rizzo formed Golden Aggie Ranch in 2004 and got into the horse-racing business as a tax shelter. Tarango, who has not been charged, said he believed the deal was legal.
In addition to being Bell's planning director, Tarango ran an engineering firm that was paid more than $10 million for its work with the city.
Hall dismissed a second count against Rizzo, involving misappropriation of public funds for a payment Bell made to Tarango's business that Tarango signed over to Golden Aggie. The judge said there was no evidence Rizzo was involved in that.
But Hall added that enough evidence was presented during the two-day preliminary hearing to indicate prosecutors could also file perjury charges against Rizzo.
Rizzo's attorney, James Spertus, had argued that the conflict-of-interest charge should be dismissed. He maintained that it was simply a separate business agreement among friends and that Rizzo never reaped any financial benefit from Tarango's work with the city.
This was the third preliminary hearing involving the eight former Bell officials, who were arrested last year after the Los Angeles Times reported their salaries.
At the first hearing last month, Hall ordered the six former council members to trial on nearly two dozen fraud charges. Last week he ordered Rizzo, his assistant and two of the six council members to trial on additional charges.

On top of what baratron said, putting 84 skill points into wands will cause you to recover some MP between rounds, provided the battle lasts more than one round. Also, you can eventually make an item called a Goddess Ring that will recover MP while you walk (outside of battle; useless in battle). See the Alchemy Recipe Guides on the FAQs page to see how to make one (or hope you find one). The ingredients can either be made (a real pain, mostly) or found (if you're lucky).

When you fight you could go on the misc. option and choose equip then do to staff then maybe it will work, but rember mages don't have high strength they have magic might and magic mending there strength level doesn't go up much that is why your attack has low damage i hope this helped you :)
Blue_Karma - 7 years ago
Equip your Mage with a wand instead (e.g. Wizard's Staff, Staff of Summoning) and level up the Wand ability. At various levels in Wand you gain an MP boost all the time the wand is equipped, which is very useful.
Mages are generally rubbish at physical attacks, so keep the wand equipped at all times. Some wands come with an attack you can use, for example Wizard's Staff casts Frizz, Staff of Summoning casts Woosh, Staff of Divine Wrath casts Swoosh. This doesn't cost you MP. To "use" the wand's own attack go to Items and select the wand.
You can change wand mid-battle without losing the MP boost from the Wand skill. To do this, select Misc. on your main character. This gives you three options: Tactics, Equip and Line Up. Choose Equip and then your Mage character, then choose the Wand category, and scroll through to find the wand with the attack you want.
Don't know how far through the game you are, but you can buy Magic Waters for 500G at Bloomingdale (and other places after it), They restore 30 MP. They're kinda expensive though because your Mage can burn through 30 MP in no time at all.

A Maldon woman aged in her 80s has been left distraught and angry after fraudsters posing as a bank official and police officer conned her out of her £14,000 life savings.
Sadly, she only realised she had fallen victim after reading last week's Maldon and Burnham Standard story about how the con artists were targeting people in Maldon and Burnham.
She was called last Tuesday by someone claiming to be from her bank, saying police had been in contact to say there was a problem with her bank account.
She was then asked to call 999 and ask for Det Con Bailey at Charing Cross police station, who turned out be another fraudster.
He persuaded her to withdraw her money for forensic fingerprinting tests.
The pensioner said: "At the time I had no idea that it was a fraud.
"I think the people at the bank were suspicious when I went to take out the money and the cashier asked me to the manager.
"They asked me if I was being coerced into taking out the money. But at the time I did not think I was.
* Full story in today's Standard.

Loved it!!! Tom Petty brings back way to many pre marrige/kids time! Lots of partying to him!
It wasn't long enough. My 7 year old was rocking out to it and we've replayed it about 5 times already. Tom sounded great.
I like Tom Petty but I honestly thought it sucked! It could have been so much better! It has all gone down hill since the Janet/Justin incedent!
