Представитель мингорисполкома Беларуси сообщил, что в стране ожидается введение государственной монополии на импорт потребительских товаров.

Так, властями республики утвержден список оптовых операторов по обеспечению розницы импортными товарами, в который вошли «государственные оптовые базы и оптовики с долей государства».

Кроме того, с сегодняшнего дня в Беларуси дорожает бензин (на 20-25%), из-за чего на заправках образовались огромные очереди. А валюта в белорусских обменках так и не появилась.

Ранее вышло постановление правительства Белоруссии, согласно которому министерству торговли, совместно с облисполкомами и мингорисполкомом, рекомендовалось определять оптовых операторов по обеспечению розницы импортными товарами, а также объемы и перечень импортируемых товаров.

В то же время, в течение прошлой недели на потребительском рынке Белоруссии наблюдался ажиотажный спрос на ряд товарных позиций. Во многих населенных пунктах республики белорусы «сметали с полок» продукты долговременного хранения — крупы, макароны, соль. Кроме того, белорусские граждане, стремясь спасти свои сбережения от девальвации, начали раскупать бытовую технику, переоценка которой проводится едва ли не каждый день.

Среди наиболее востребованных позиций — холодильники, стиральные машины, телевизоры, СВЧ-печи, пылесосы.

В министерстве торговли Белоруссии признали, что повышенный спрос на ряд непродовольственных товаров, особенно длительного пользования, вызван, прежде всего, нестабильностью белорусского рубля, что спровоцировало диспаритет цен на отдельные товары белорусского и зарубежного производства в долларовом эквиваленте. «Данная ситуация носит временный характер», — выразили надежду в минторге.

Между тем, цены как на импортные, так и на белорусские продовольственные товары продолжают стремительно расти. Так, по информации Белстата, в апреле 2011 г., по сравнению с мартом 2011 г., выросли цены на масло растительное на 22,4%, чай черный — на 14,2%, майонез — 13,9%, рыбу мороженую — на 13,6%, сельдь соленую — на 11,1%, кофе — на 9,5%, крупы и бобовые — на 8,2%.

При этом больше всего выросли цены на фрукты и овощи, которые преимущественно импортируется в страну. Так, цены на помидоры выросли на 37,7%, перец сладкий — на 30,9%, капусту — на 26,1%, огурцы — на 20,4%, чеснок — на 16,6%, свеклу — на 15,8%, морковь — на 11,8%, картофель — на 7%, лук — на 6,6%.

Фрукты подорожали на 15,7%, в том числе яблоки — на 19,6%, бананы — на 19,5%, цитрусовые — на 18%.

Напоним, что официальный курс белорусского рубля к доллару, обнародованный на сайте Национального банка Беларуси, на вторник, 24 мая, составляет 4 930 рублей за доллар. Еще в понедельник он был 3 155 рублей за доллар.

Ok, here is this week’s summary.

We start off where with Tertium waiking up. he calls Zecht (?) Master, so yeah… Imm sure there will be plenty of discussion over this.

Anyway, its been 8 years since the war. Along with Secumdum, theres Nii (the small one with blonde hair) and [insert Latin word for 17 here], which makes a total of four. The same way Tertium has a title (The Averruncus of Earth), both Nii and 17 have them too, but I cant make out the romanization: Nii is the Adu—ru (アドゥール) of Fire, while 17 is the Adado— (アダドー) of Water. Secumdum seems to be of Thunder affinity.

We see the 4 of ‘em set off and destroying some city in the Magic World. After Secumdum rewrites a small girl trying to defend herself, Tertium likens themselves to evil Death Gods who’ve come hunting souls in this land ruled chaos. Secumdum responds to this that they are all mere illusions and that this is sheer mercy for them, as this land had no future now that it had been abandoned by The Confederation; also, that wat they were giving is not death, but salvation. You can see how much of a twisted personality Secumdum has.

The 4 of them are now talking about Nagi, who now has a price to his head after rescuing Arika. While Secumdum intends to settle his score with him, Nii seems to be more interesting on settling her (?) score with Rakan, which leads me to think that she has the memories of the Fire dude Rakan fought with in that last battle.

Secumdum goes on to say that Primum (the 1st Averruncus) must have been a failure for him to lose to Nagi, but he (Secumdum) is different; that he will bring upon Cosmo Entelecheia (the perfect world). Nii advices Secumdum not to let his guard down; as he was only activated 4 years ago, he has yet to fight Nagi. Secumdum is very confident in his skills, as they are all created by their Master to be “the strongest” and that theres no way that he’d lose to a mere human.

Next page we see Nagi beating the living crap out of Secumdum ;D (NOTE: they are fighting in the Old World). Nagi says Primum was way stronger and makes fun of Secumdum a little. Tertium then activates an earth-type sealing margic circle and Nii casts an Encendium Gehennea on Nagi. Nii wants to fight Rakan, but Nagi says that they should know that he cant come here (here is spelled as Earth).

Next page Secumdum taunts Nagi for getting caught and still acting tough. Meanwhile, 17
casts the same spell Eva used on the Demon God back in Kyouto; don’t remember if it has a Latin/Greek name, but the name in Japanese reads simply Frozen/Freezing World.
Arika makes her appearance. She dragged Nagi out just in time. Nagi picks on Arika a little for the nonchalant way she saved him and tells Al (the book on Arika’s waist) to stop just watching and help. Al responds that it tires him to materialize here (again, written as Earth). This, I believe, will be an important detail for later on.

Anyway, back to fighting. Nagi is about to land Secumdum a good one, but Tertium comes to the rescue. Nagi greets him and compliments him on the timing of the Circle back then. Tertium starts questioning Nagi; what does he think he can change with those fists of him, and that he is a helpless existence. Nagi agrees that it might be so, but they cant just give up just because of that; that they haven’t given up on people just yet, unlike them (referring to fate & co). Secumdum interrupts them and Nagi snaps cuz he was having a good time.

We then see the beaten Secumdum cursing at Nagi, while Nii gives him the proverbial “I told you so”. A frustrated Secumdum goes on to rant that they should be the strongest and that they should ask their Master to upgrade their stats. Tertium asks him why he is so passionate about the whole thing. Secumdum snaps at him that its only normal for him to be so passionate about his purpose in life and that he (Tertium) must be defective somehow, so he should go ask their Master to fix him.

On his way to meet their Master, Tertium ponders on the things they are doing and his wish to fight Nagi instead. Then he seems to have some sort of problems with his Core and falls.
Next page we see Fate waking up in some house and meeting Shiori for the first time.
