Frontline: Halo Anniversary Special
In our new regular series, we examine the current state of a variety of online-enabled games - be they new entries or classics a year on since release. We take the fight to the frontline to weigh up whether the multiplayer aspect, now a huge part of some titles, is worthy of your time and money. First up, a special report on Halo: Anniversary.
Mike Holmes
I've been mixing and matching my multiplayer kicks of late. Recently I've got some Battlefield 3 action going on PS3 - though I'm a long way off being any good at the game. I've also just started on the Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer; I'm still dying a lot more than I'm killing - which is never a good thing. On top of all that I've been trying furiously to capture a feeling long lost by playing multiplayer on GoldenEye: Reloaded - sadly it isn't working, it will never be GoldenEye 007 for the N64. Last but not least there's Halo. Ah Halo, my beloved, my favourite, my precious.
The last couple of nights I've played a little bit of both Halo and MW3; more so I could make I direct comparison than for any other reason. Usually Tuesday night is 'Halo Night' for me and my brethren, lately the number of players available for our weekly incursion into the future has been dropping. Nobody seems to have the time to play Bungie's sci-fi shooter anymore. It got me thinking; are my friends and I a microcosm of a larger trend? Just how many people are playing Reach at the moment? I took down some notes and here are my findings.
I took my numbers at roughly 10.30pm. Eerily enough, they are very very similar day by day. This is also something I am going to observe over a longer period of time, just to see how it pans out, I'll keep you posted. It will be no surprise to anyone to hear that the playlists on Modern Warfare were rammed. There were 746,000 players on there on Monday, 748,000 the next and the following evening there was 802,000.
Despite my genuine affection for the game, it's not looking good for Halo: Reach. I fully expected the Anniversary Map pack to inject some much needed energy into the multiplayer but, sadly, it doesn't seem to have done the trick. On release day I was surprised by how few people were online playing the new maps (the statistician in me wishes I'd taken the number down now), and I was annoyed by the amount of problems me and my buddies had with getting a game. You can put the connection problems we experienced down to teething pains for the new maps, but the fact that only handful of people are playing the game can't be ignored. Last night (again at 10.30) a disappointing 5939 gamers were on the new Anniversary maps, the night before it was an equally underwhelming 5854 (6469 the night before that). On all three evenings there was roughly 39,000 players playing across the entire Halo multiplayer.
Gameplay-wise both games are much the same as they ever were. MW3 is slick and satisfying, but I don't know it well enough right now to comment on anything other than the repeated beatings I had to take. I remember getting shot by helicopters a lot; something which always infuriates me. I can't wait until I've unlocked the Barebones playlist.
Having been on the receiving end of a considerable kicking, I thought I'd change discs and have another bash at the new Halo: Anniversary maps. Whereas killing/dying is a bit more straightforward on MW3, in Halo there's the Spartan armour offering extra protection, allowing players to be a little more speculative as they move around the map.
The smaller maps are perfect for 4v4 action, and although I was up against some quality players, I think it's fair to say that I had a good time. The larger maps were, disappointingly, a bit of a let down. Both of the times I tried to play Big Team, within a minute of the match starting, the opposition teams lost half of their players. Fair play to those who remained, they gave it a go, but ultimately the game was lost when their 'team mates' jumped ship like the scurvy rats they were! This uneven contest soured my experience on the larger maps (except for the moment when I hit an unsuspecting sniper on the back of the head with a sticky grenade on Breakneck - blueballs!). It's difficult to draw conclusions given my recent experiences, but here goes: Ridgeline looks excellent for vehicle based combat(and there have been plenty of players lamenting the lack of vehicular slaughter in Reach) and Breakneck is seriously cool, no matter the weather.
The 4v4 maps were much more satisfying to play. Solitary seems to be the players map of choice. That's no surprise: It looks good and plays even better. The Armour Abilities only add to multilayered charms of this level. High Noon is another excellent map, and when two equally matched teams face off against each other on this arena, you know you are going to be in for a tense, hard fought affair. Penance is a good laugh, but if you come up against a team who know what they're doing then it can be very hard to get a foothold in the game. Last but not least, there is Battle Canyon, which I enjoyed very much, even if I was playing a team of clueless halfwits who didn't have the faintest idea how to play Assault.
The one thing that has struck me more than anything else was how the Halo community has started to thin out. Comparing the numbers to MW3's is perhaps a little unfair, especially considering COD was the biggest entertainment release ever and came out this month and Reach is well over a year old now. What it does is highlight the plight of Microsoft's once all-conquering title.
Halo used to be the jewel in the Xbox's crown, but I'm not sure that this is the case anymore. Sure, there are still thousands of people playing it, but those thousands were once hundreds of thousands. Microsoft were probably hoping that the maps included with Halo: Anniversary would bring players back to the Reach multiplayer experience, but it on the face of it it doesn't look like this has happened.
I'd love to recommend you get the Anniversary Map Pack and come and join the action, and on paper I can do just that as the maps are beautiful and well structured. However, and it's a big however, when you get online you might start to wonder where all the other players are.
The maps look good, they play well, they evoke memories of classic Halo skirmishes; there's just not enough people playing them.

Monika S. Sep 09 .
Excellent selection of produce, flowers and wine! Prices are reasonable, quality is quite favorable and use of local farms a plus.
Sarah S. Jan 18 .
Very reasonable prices for organic and locally sourced foods. At Christmas I was looking for pomagranate syrup, when I called they only had 1 bottle left and held it for me.
E. W. Dec 19 .
Want to enjoy grocer shopping? Go to New Seasons Market for all of your grocery needs, and have fun while shopping. Excellent selections, large vitamin/supplement section, great home cooked bread, organic vegetables and fruits and the friendliest staff in the Portland-Metro Area.
Cate C. Aug 13 .
New seasons is such a great market for fresh produce and organic products. Not to mention they always have tons of great food to choose from if you want to have dinner their. I love that the staff appreciates the needs of customers and the family friendly attitude. I forgot my wallet once after ordering food and the girl said not big deal pay when you come in again. Although I was embarrassed she made me feel great and that experience has stuck with me. If you want fresh healthy selection of foods this is your market.
by nickvegas at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Great place if you're feeling indecisive. Great pre-marinated meat section that you must try. Deli and bakery has a veritable cournucopia of deliciously cooked foods is sure to satisfy anyone having trouble making a decision.
by foxyfey at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Fresh organic breads, amazing cheese selection, the best deli around, and an obviously happy staff that I often see laughing (sometimes even dancing) and are always overly helpful when I have a question.
by kingjosh at Citysearch Nov 10 .
The day the New Seasons opened out here I was ecstatic. Finally a place I could go for lunch from work and have a healthy, fresh, fast sandwich for a reasonable price! The first time I went the person preparing my sandwich accidently put the wrong mayonnaise on it, she told me that I could have it for free. I said I didn't want it for free, but would rather have the correct mayonnaise that I ordered. She gave me the fresh one for free! Then she offered the other sandwich to my co-worker who was with me! The service is amazing, you'll forget you're eating at a grocery store! While you're waiting there's always some sort of strange, pungent, delicious cheese sitting in a sample tray to try!
Best Cold Sandwich You Can Get Anywhere!
Pros: Great Value, Great Service, Huge Variety!
by mangoswartz at Citysearch Nov 10 .
New Seasons is our favorite place to shop, eat and just hang out! The best quality and priced produce, great deli, clever atmosphere, delicious samples, awesome bakery, huge bulk food section, extensive cheese and wine/beer selection, and above all--excellent customer service and friendliness! We always feel at home at New Seasons Market!

My goal is to create functional works of art out of glass and ceramic.
If it can withstand temperatures in excess of 1500 degrees minimum, then its the medium for ME. I only work hot. I am a glass and ceramic artist. I create one-of-a-kind lampwork glass beads, and fused glass, in my studio. In addition, I specializes in hand built and wheel thrown and altered Judaica pottery.
In my glass studio, I work with a blowtorch and use three types of glass: Moretti, Lauscha, and Vetrofond, to create lamp work glass beads. The process of creating lamp work beads involves many steps. First, I wind many colors of molten glass onto a stainless steel rod called a Mandrel. Then I balance the glass on the mandrel by constantly rotating the glass, and fighting the force of gravity. This process forms a round bead. Finally, I heat the beads in a kiln overnight, a process called annealing, to provide the beads with added strength and durability.
I also create fused glass pieces to be used in jewelry. I layer different colors and types of glass to get depth in my pieces. I enjoy the interaction with the kiln in creating these glass pieces. Every minute counts when fusing glass. If the glass over fires it will drip right out of the kiln. Fused pieces must be observed and when properly fused, the kiln is opened and "crashed". I deliberately drop the temperature of the kiln 500 degrees as a fast as possible, usually within two minutes. This keeps the glass from devitrifying or separating and getting a film over the top of the glass.
My pottery features many Jewish themes. My favorite works exemplify a unique Jerusalem theme symbolizing the ancient blocks of the Kotel. I utilize my Jerusalem theme, as well as other Judaica themes, on various functional, ritual pieces including Seder Plates, Menorahs, Washing Cups, Apple & Honey sets, Mezuzzot and Shabbat objects.
Now that you know what I do, here is a little tutorial of how I do it.
This is how I make a bead!!! Enjoy!
When beginning to create a Lampwork Bead, the glass rods must be prepared by melting and pulling long STRINGERS of glass (even thinner rods of glass). Stringers are like glass paintbrushes to be used for any detail placed in the bead. Some stringers are made by combining many different colors of glass into one stringer.
Next, a rod of glass and a mandrel coated with bead release are heated. As the glass rod starts to melt, the mandrel is rotated to let the glass melt onto the mandrel evenly. The mandrel is kept continuously spinning to keep the glass from dripping off. After the base color is on the mandrel, it is time to start decorating the bead.
Essential for every Tool Box and Crafts Kit.
Very pliable and moldable when heated to 140+ degrees. Hard when cool.
Easy to use. Reusable. Safe. Non-toxic. Biodegradable.
Materials/Milieu: Thick Canvas, high quality oil or Acrylic colors. The depth is 2/3Inch (2CM).
You use spacers in glass beads.
Established in 2002, Reflecmedia has released a range of chroma key products give improved flexibility for chroma key production.

Russkiy Mir in the EU?
Daugavpils: More than 70 percent of people in the regional capital are Russian speakers (Photo: Groundhopping Merseburg)
Brussels, 7. Oct 2014, 07:36
Welcome to Latgale in south-east Latvia: If there is any EU region which looks like a soft target for Russian-manufactured separatism, this is it.
The street names may be in Latvian, but most people - more than 70 percent in the regional capital Daugavpils - are of Russian origin.
They lived here for generations or they were shipped here by Stalin.
Older residents speak only Russian. Old and young consume only Russian media, read Russian history books, go to see Russian plays, and celebrate Russian holidays.
They tend to work in Russian-language offices and many go back and forth across the Russian border, which is still being demarcated, without a visa.
But they cannot get a Latvian passport, or vote, unless they learn Latvian. Their children can do only half their classes in their mother tongue and their MPs are locked out of ruling coalitions.
Meanwhile, the countryside is littered with skeletons of Soviet-era factories.
Miroslav Mitrofanov - who was born in Latgale and who co-chairs Latvia's second biggest Russian-Latvian party, the PCTVL - says neglect by Riga and the EU means 20 percent have left in search of jobs.
We feel like "second-class people", he adds.
Russian media was never kind to Latvia. But since the Ukraine war, Russian-Latvians hear on TV that EU-backed "neo-Nazis" are slaughtering Russians in east Ukraine and that Latvia is sponsoring "a rebirth of fascism".
They also hear that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ready to protect the "Russkiy Mir".
The phrase, which means "Russian World", refers to ethnic Russians inside or outside Russia, but it also refers to a resurgent myth: that the Russian civilisation is unique and destined for greatness.
For his part, Konstantin Dolgov, a senior Russian diplomat, in a speech in Riga in September claimed Latvia will shortly "liquidate" Russian language schools.
At the same time, Latvian security police says Moscow is working with at least 12 NGOs or fringe parties in Latvia - some of which have demanded Latgale autonomy - in what it calls the "most significant threat to [Latvia's] constitutional order".
It also says Russian intelligence is recruiting border smugglers as agents.
Protesters have four times in recent months marched round Riga with Russian and Ukrainian rebel flags.
Latgale residents have also told Latvian TV the Russian embassy in Riga is helping people go to Ukraine to fight for Russia.
The police is investigating three men, two from Latgale, who did go. They raided homes in connection with the case and found small arms.
Mitrofanov himself went to observe the Crimea "referendum" on independence in March.
He says he saw no signs of Russian coercion, adding: "We sympathise with those who are close to us in language and culture … If Ukraine develops the same way that Latvia has been developing since its independence in 1991, Russian speakers in Ukraine will be marginalised the same way we've been marginalised".
'Ukraine scenario impossible'
But even if Latgale looks like a soft target, Latvian authorities say it is not.
"We live in times when any provocation cannot be excluded, but a 'Ukrainian' scenario for Latvia is impossible", its foreign minister, Edgars Rinkevics, says.
His spokesman, Karlis Eihenbaums, notes that some Russian-Latvian activists have a new air of menace: "They don't say it openly, but you can feel it: 'If you don't fulfill our dreams than Crimea-type things can happen here'."
But he points out the pro-Russia protests got almost no support. "If you can gather 40 or 50 people in a city of 1 million, that's nothing", he says, referring to Riga, also a majority Russian-Latvian town.
Gunta Skrebele, a spokeswoman for the interior ministry, agrees.
"We have witnessed some pro-Russian organisations tying to provoke Latvian society. Those attempts were not successful", she says.
If they are right, then why does the Russkiy Mir hold so little appeal?
Andis Kudors, a Latvian academic who specialises in Russian soft power, says the reasons are mostly economic.
In Ukraine, public institutions were dysfunctional and insolvent. Elderly people in Crimea, for instance, had lousy pensions compared to Russia. But Latvia is better governed and offers more opportunities.
"I was born in Latgale and this idea of autonomy is impossible", Kudors says.
"Even with the social problems in the region, there are no radicals who would fight to be part of Russia because people know that Russian living conditions, especially outside St Petersburg or Moscow, are much worse".
Nils Usakovs, the mayor of Riga and the head of Latvia's largest Russian-Latvian party, Saskanas Centrs, says the same.
Asked if any Russian-Latvians would like to live under Putin, he replies: "No. I don't think so".
His main concern about the Ukraine war is not that it will deepen divisions in Latvia, but that EU-Russia sanctions will hurt local businesses.
"As in any country, the unhappy ones are people with low income, with lack of social security and healthcare, with insecurity about tomorrow. That doesn't depend on their nationality", he says.
Even Mitrofanov agrees.
He warned that if incomes or language rights erode in the coming years then "people's mood might change".
But he distanced himself from Dolgov, saying the Russian diplomat's claim about liquidation of Russian schools is "not true."
"Autonomy is not interesting to Russians in Latgale because it won't solve their problems, the poverty", he adds.
Moral dimension
The economy is not everything, however.
For Kudors, one side of life in Latgale's mini-Russia is that Russian-Latvians there feel "happy, confident" in their identity despite the horror stories on Russian TV.
Mitrofanov noted that after 23 years of living together, there is a "moral" dimension to Russian society in the country.
"We feel that we are Latvians, even if in our native language and culture we feel that we are Russians", he says.
"We see our future in the next 50 years as coming closer together. In Finland there is a Swedish minority, but Swedish is an official language and Swedish people have the same opportunities as Finns at all levels of society. We want to build Finland in Latvia", he adds.

New manager says Making Rooms can make ideas come to life
23rd November 2016 25th July 2017 , Business News & Events, News
Blackburn's creative technology hub, The Making Rooms, has appointed a new manager.
Tom Macpherson-Pope will be part of a team running workshops at the new facility and engaging with businesses and the public to help them make the most of the equipment.
The Making Rooms, which opened last month, is a three story facility that boasts one of the country's biggest and best equipped Fab Labs (Fabrication Laboratory) where residents can use digital manufacturing machinery such as laser cutters and 3D printers to develop products, artwork or bespoke designs.
In addition, the Exchange Street building has a coffee bar and an exhibition space along with two floors of workspaces that will be used as incubators for start-ups, training or meeting rooms, and artist studios.
Tom, a 26-year old Computer Science graduate, is no stranger to Fab Labs having volunteered at the Manchester one for the last six years.
He also has been working in a technology start-up business developing educational electronics for the past four years. They include accessories for the popular Raspberry Pi computer such as the PiFace range and CodeBug, an engaging device for teaching children how to code and play with electronics.
In addition, Tom has had experience with online crowdfunding, including a Kickstarter campaign for a clip together photo frame designed to waste as little material as possible.
He said: "Fab Labs are such an amazing way to learn new skills and meet interesting like-minded people, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be involved in the direction of a fledging lab in a new community."
He added: "We're living in a time where anyone can make their ideas come to life, with crowd funding sites allowing people with a great idea and a lot of determination, to develop their own products and found start-up companies. Places like Making Rooms and Fab Labs are the first steps on this journey."
The Making Rooms is funded by Arts Council England, Blackburn with Darwen Council and the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership LEP.

Monique Fischer painted faces on children and adults. Image sourced by TK Devasia The district administration has sought the assistance of the navy to rescue those it cannot reach with boats.
If an issue arose, the league's members were invited to participate in a central meeting, the Tagfahrt "meeting ride", sometimes also referred to as Hansetag, since He worried that in February, an Iranian drone infiltrated Israeli airspace from Syria, which was shot down and found to be loaded with explosives, apparently intended for a terrorist attack.
Prussia's main interest, on the other hand, was the export of bulk products like grain and timber, which were very important for England, the Low Countriesand, later on, also for Spain and Italy. Ina mixed nationality survey team was sent out to settle the issue.
Denmark had regained control over its own trade, the Kontor in Novgorod had closed, and the Kontor in Bruges had become effectively moribund.
Hollanders also circumvented the Hanseatic towns by trading directly with north German princes in non-Hanseatic towns. Boats are the only means to rescue many people in Kuttanad. The dominant language of trade was Middle Low Germana dialect with significant impact for countries involved in the trade, particularly the larger Scandinavian languagesEstonianand Latvian.
The very existence of the league and its privileges and monopolies created economic and social tensions that often crept over into rivalries between league members. As a result, Israel was caught utterly unprepared, and on its holiest day, heavy casualties were inflicted upon the Jewish State before its enemies were demolished by the IDF in a few days.
Neither Sweden nor Finland could come to a decision as to who owned the islands and in they asked the League to adjudicate. The Poles quickly overwhelmed the Russian army and made a swift advance into Russia.
The Treaty of Versailles had given this port to Yugoslavia. Hollanders also circumvented the Hanseatic towns by trading directly with north German princes in non-Hanseatic towns. By the late 16th century, the league had imploded and could no longer deal with its own internal struggles.
River control devices such as spur dikes and embankment protection are not required or are in a stable condition.

Mass Flow ONLINE B.V, the e-commerce channel of Bronkhorst High-Tech B.V has added two new models to its MASS-VIEW series – the MV-108 mass flow meter and MV-308 mass flow regulator.
These new additions extend the MASS-VIEW product line to gas flow rates up to 500 ln/min (N2-equivalent), fulfilling demands from industrial users for gas supply in burner applications, chemical processes, and systems in the food & beverage industry.
The instruments can provide local display as well as an electronic output signal and offer accuracies of ±1% RD plus ±0.5% FS up to 250 ln/min and ±2% RD for higher flow rates.
Both models have four pre-installed ranges (100%, 40%, 20% and 10% of maximum FS range) selectable via a menu, using a four-way navigation button. The user can select from one of 10 pre-installed gases – Air, N2, O2, Ar, CO, CO2, N2O, CH4, C3H8, C4H10, eliminating the the need to recalibrate for different gases. The maximum operating pressure is to 10 bar(g) / 150 psi(g).


"I am grateful we are all okay," a neighbor said after waking up to flames.
EUGENE, Ore. -- Neighbors on the 5000 block of Fox Hollow Road said they woke up to flames and screams on Monday at around 4 a.m.
They said they feared the fire would spread to their homes and quickly called 911.
"I am grateful we are all okay," one neighbor said.
Eugene Fire and Rescue officials said the cause of the fire is undetermined but a possible factor could be a candle or cigarette being used near combustable material. There's $160,000 worth of damage, and one person was displaced.
Eugene-Springfield Fire crews responded and said it was challenging to get equipment and personnel to the house fire because of the narrow driveway. Most of the emergency vehicles had to park on Fox Hollow Road.
The battalion chief said the fire was burning mainly outside the home at the back of the house.
Fire officials confirmed that the fire did spread to the inside of the home, causing damage to walls.
One person was inside the home at the time of the fire, and fire officials confirmed that person got out safely.
After fire crews got the fire under control, they went through the house to make sure no one was inside, and they did not find any occupants.

The European Commission, following the voting procedure in the plenary of the European Parliament, welcomed the ratification of the proposal for the relocation of 120,000 refugees from Greece, Italy and Hungary, and thanked the European Parliament for its immediate reaction.
"The path is now paved for the Council to approve our proposal," according to the statement, calling on member states to take the "necessary decisions" on the extraordinary Council of Justice and Home Affairs on September 22, 2015.
"At the last Council of Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs on September 14, the majority of member states expressed their readiness to proceed as quickly as possible", the same statement noted and continued: "It is now time for action."
Finally, the Commission is ready, if the Council adopts the decision on Tuesday, "to work with member states and the relevant European organisations in order to proceed with the transfer of refugees immediately and reduce the pressure on the most affected member states."
BRUSSELS (ANA-MPA/ M. Aroni)
The EU Commission's proposal for the relocation of 120,000 refugees from Greece, Italy and Hungary was approved on Thursday by the European Parliament in an emergency vote by 370 ballots in favor, 134 against and 52 abstentions.
EU Interior Ministers will have to approve the plan in a meeting in Brussels next Tuesday.
In a strongly worded response to the statements of Hungarian officials attacking Greece's stance in the migrant and refugee crisis, the Greek foreign ministry on Thursday countered by denouncing the Hungarian side for unacceptable treatment of refugees arriving in their country.
"We are unable to follow either the stream of statements by Hungarian officials against our country or, chiefly, the unacceptable - according to the United Nations Secretary General - behaviour of Hungarian forces of law against the refugees, even babies, that are experience the tragedy and misery of war," foreign ministry spokesman Konstantinos Koutras said in response to questions.
The use of violence, armed patrols and the driving of innocent victims of war into Balkan minefields are not befitting conduct for an EU member-state, he said.
"It is clear that the burden of this unprecedented refugee crisis cannot be taken on by just one country, in this case Greece, which is doing everything humanly possible. These extraordinary circumstances require humanity, cooperation, solidarity and coordination with the other European partners, and not brutal cynicism, provocative statements, the use of violence, or a return to Cold-War walls, the spokesman concluded.
The police and coast guard were in control of the migration situation, the head of the Greek police Aliens and Border Protection service Zacharoula Tsirigoti said on Thursday in an exclusive interview with the ANA-MPA. She estimated that the assistance of the army will not be needed, even if there is an increase in the influx of migrants and refugees.
Tsirigoti said that between 3,500-4,000 people were arriving on islands of the northern and eastern Aegean daily. These individuals were being identified and processed at a rate of about 3,000 a day, she added, and singled out the greatest problem as the lack of first reception facilities on the islands of the Aegean.
According to Tsirigoti, the current rate of migration and refugee flows was unprecedented in any European Union country, including Greece, and all services were making an effort to meet the challenge.
"Experience until now, both on Lesvos and on Kos, has shown where the weaknesses are, what we can improve and what we must do to deal with this phenomenon. Solidarity, coordination and honest effort are primarily what is needed from all the agencies involved," she said.
Asked whether the army might be called in to assist, as in other countries, Tsirigoti noted that the armed forces were already helping in some areas, such as providing food, technical resources and in setting up tents.
"Using the Army at the external borders or anywhere else in the interior of the country is a purely political decision that I believe will not be made, because we will not need to reach that point. The situation until now is controlled, both by us as police and by the coast guard," she said.
She also praised cooperation between the police and FRONTEX and the assistance by European organisations generally in tackling the crisis.
SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras once again ruled out the prospect of a 'grand coalition' with New Democracy as being "against nature" in an interview published on Thursday by 'Efimerida ton Syntakton'. He stressed that such a plan, which would cancel SYRIZA's identity and strategic plan, must not be allowed to proceed and pointed to the "painful experience" of the last such experiment with the Papademos government.
"SYRIZA and New Democracy represent different social interests," Tsipras said, adding that ND remained the party of Antonis Samaras and was organised around the same people and programme.
"It represents the interests of the oligarchy, of the social forces that came out winners in the crisis," he said.
Tsipras noted that his party and the European Left "have the only viable plan and form the core of the forces fighting to overturn neoliberalism in Greece and Europe, to put an end to austerity and deepen democracy." This plan was able to help the social classes subjected to exploitation extricate themselves from the dead ends of neoliberalism, he added.
Referring to likely political developments in Europe, such as the recent elections of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour party leader in the UK, Tsipras stressed that SYRIZA must win the upcoming elections in order to play a catalytic role in the shifting power balances of the EU.
If elected, SYRIZA will continue with initiatives started by the previous government, such as the draft bill on television licences and legislation for combatting illegal trading in fuel and tobacco, he said. Referring to the promises he made as part of the Thessaloniki programme a year ago, he noted that many of these had been implemented and that the "fight continues". Over the government's entire four-year term, he added, "the total of the Thessaloniki commitments will be implemented policy."
SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras expressed confidence on Thursday that Greeks will disprove the polls that show the two main contenders neck and neck and grant him a comfortable majority.
"I'm absolutely certain that the Greek people will once again disprove the messages of the polls which predict a derby," Tsipras said during an election rally in the town of Agios Nikolaos, in Crete.
"We bled ourselves so as to stop our people for bleeding, because it was the promise we gave and we kept it until the end" he said and reiterated that the dilemma is whether the old establishment will govern or a government that struggles. "[Do you prefer] a government that will reveal the Lagarde list, or those who will cover it up?"
Tsipras said that he's not asking for a second chance, but rather a chance to continue the first effort. "We didn't have the opportunity to move ahead and complete the implementation of our work."
Sunday's election battle is the second referendum for the future of Greece, SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday during an election rally in the town of Patras.
"The battle of September 20 is the second great referendum for the future of our people and our country," he said, adding that "on Sunday we vote to reject the return of the old status quo of servitude, dependence, corruption and vested interests."
He urged voters to reject New Democracy which represents in the best way "the system of vested interests and dependence of Conservatism and oligarchy."
Tsipras also noted that the result of the elections will decide on the government of the next four years and therefore people must choose SYRIZA, so that people may have on Monday its own government. He also called on all voters to participate in the elections.
SYRIZA deputy Nikos Pappas, in statements to MEGA TV, expressed his certainty over the party's victory.
"I think that SYRIZA will win the elections with a clear difference," Pappas, who is also former State Minister, said on Thursday.
Pappas estimated that the aim of the parliamentary majority can be achieved. "This is our aim. I think we can achieve it and if we don't, we will be so close to it that the country will not be dragged to elections again," he said.
Finally, he estimated that Independent Greeks (ANEL) will enter the Parliament and the most probable scenario will be to cooperate again.
New Democracy leader Vangelis Meimarakis pointed out on Thursday the need for consensus after the elections to get the country out of the crisis, clarifying however that this can only be achieved by those who want it.
"We chose Omonoia (=Concord) square to symbolize the path we want for the country. W sent messages of unity to all the Greek people," Meimarakis said during an election speech in central Athens, while asking the people to trust ND.
"With God's help and the people's will, we'll form a government on Monday with ND as thre main party. A government of the worthy and the capable, a government of all the Greeks," he said and addressed separately the young, the women, the mid-sized businessmen, the employees of the private and public sector, the uniformed employees and the unemployed.
Commenting on SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras, Meimarakis criticized him for "plunging the country into chaos" noting he's trying to fool Greeks into voting him for the second time.
"Greeks don't want any more SYRIZA experiment, don't want any more populism. It's time to finish with incompetence. The SYRIZA experiment ends on Sunday," he said.
"It is a difficult battle that will be given vote by vote until the last moment," New Democracy leader Evangelos Meimarakis on Thursday said in an interview with ANA-MPA.
Regarding the next day, Meimarakis warned that "there are no easy ways and we have difficult months ahead of us." He called on citizens to vote for New Democracy, reiterating that the party is "determined to work hard in order to implement the required structural reforms."
Meimarakis expressed his certainty that New Democracy will be the first party and it will receive a mandate to form a government on Monday. He underlined that the most capable persons from political parties and the society will participate in his government and called on SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras to also participate in the government.
As regards a possible coalition government with SYRIZA, he said that compromises have a limit: "If you consider compromise to adopt the view that the Aegean does not have maritime borders or that excellence in education is a bad thing, I am telling you that there is no basis for such a discussion."
Referring to the refugee-migration issue, he said that the society and the economy have exceeded their tolerance and argued that "the policy of open borders creates deadlocks." However, he noted that "we must face a real problem, the problem of the explosive increase of refugee flows based on a plan and humanity. We have to separate refugees from undocumented migrants, taking advantage of EU resources, and effectively guarding the country's borders."
The full interview is available for subscribers at ANA-MPA website.
Independent Greeks (ANEL) must enter the Parliament because it is the only force that can protect the people amid these difficult times, deputy candidate Elena Kountoura said in statements to Praktorio 104.9 FM.
"We are the only stable force, the only force that can ensure security," Kountoura, who was also Alternate Tourism Minister, underlined on Thursday.
The implementation of the memorandum after the elections is pre-determined, communist party KKE secretary general Dimitris Koutsoumbas on Thursday said in statements to ANT1.
"Nobody is talking any more about the first 100 days. Everything has been voted," he said. He estimated that the crisis in Greece is deep and the way chosen to solve the problems is wrong. Therefore, he called on citizens to vote for KKE bacause as he said "we have tested all the others."
Communist Party leader Dimitris Koutsoumbas urged Greeks on Wednesday not to give a second chance to the parties which voted for a third bailout program and support his party instead.
"Don't give a second chance to those who, wearing the mask of pride and dignity brought the third memorandum and crashed hopes, belied expectations," Koutsoumbas said during an election rally on Athens' main Syntagma square.
Popular Unity candidate deputy Nadia Valavani on Thursday in statements to Praktorio 104.9 FM said that SYRIZA's contribution to the Greek society was negative.
She argued that SYRIZA "has turned a live anti-memorandum part (of the parliament) to a pro-memorandum one" and that we run the risk in the forthcoming elections "to have a memorandum parliament, in which Popular Unity will be the only anti-memorandum voice. "
A SYRIZA lead over its main rival New Democracy was recorded in most opinion polls published on Thursday, just three days before Greeks head for the polling stations to vote.
A poll conducted by e-voice and published by dikaiologitika.gr showed SYRIZA 3.6 percentage points ahead, while the latest Pro Rata poll published in 'Efimerida ton Syntakton' put SYRIZA's lead at 4 percentage points. A Kapa Research poll for 'To Vima' by contrast reduced SYRIZA's lead to a marginal 0.6 pct, while a Macedonia University poll for SKAI put ND first, about half a percentage point ahead.
According to the e-voice poll of voter intentions, SYRIZA would win the election by 29 pct, followed by ND with 25.4 pct. The far-right Golden Dawn party ranked third with 7.2 pct, followed by Potami (5.1 pct), Communist Party of Greece - KKE (5 pct), PASOK (5 pct), Popular Unity - LAE (4.2 pct) and finally Independent Greeks - ANEL just squeaking into Parliament with 3.1 pct. Union of Centrists was seen staying outside Parliament with 2.6 pct, undecided voters accounted for a further 6.6 pct and the remainder said they would cast their vote for smaller parties or abstain.
Asked to estimate which party was most likely to win the elections, 55.1 pct of respondents said SYRIZA and 26.1 pct said ND.
The poll was conducted over the phone on September 15-16.
According to the Pro Rata poll, SYRIZA leads with 28 pct, ND is second with 24 pct and Golden Dawn ranks third with 7.5 pct. It is followed by Potami (5 pct), KKE (5 pct), PASOK (5 pct), LAE (3 pct), Union of Centrists (3 pct) and lastly ANEL with 2.5 pct, leaving it outside Parliament. An additional 2 pct said 'other' and 15 pct replied 'Don't know/ won't answer'.
The Kapa Research poll, also conducted on September 15-16, forecast a SYRIZA victory with 29 pct with ND a close second at 28.4 pct. Golden Dawn ranked third with 6.7 pct, followed by PASOK (5.9 pct), KKE (5.5 pct), Potami (5 pct), LAE (3.5 pct), Union of Centrists (3.2 pct) and ANEL (3 pct). A further 2.4 pct of the vote went to other parties and 7.4 replied 'Don't know/won't answer'.
The Macedonia University poll predicted an ND victory with 30 pct, followed by SYRIZA (29.5 pct), Golden Dawn (6.5 pct), KKE (5.5 pct), PASOK (5 pct), Potami (5 pct), Union of Centrists (4 pct), LAE (3 pct) and ANEL (2.5 pct). The percentage of undecided voters was 6 pct.
The German government announced that despite the election campaign, Greece should respect the timetable for the implementation of the reforms envisaged in the third country's bailout, as well as that any government resulting from the elections must implement the agreed programme.
"I guess that very few things are proceeding," German Finance ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said regarding reforms. "However, the agreed timetable still applies," he added.
He also underlined that the reforms provided in the third bailout will have to be implemented regardless of the new government.
"Whatever agreed with Greece is binding," he cleared out. "They cannot change because of a new government."
If during the election campaign in Greece an impression that the new government would renegotiate the economic programme was created, Jaeger stressed: "We do not see it that way."
The spokesman of the German Finance ministry did not say which candidate Berlin prefers. "What we care for is that an efficient government is formed after the elections."
Paul Mason, economic editor of British broadcaster Channel 4 and author of several books, among them "PostCapitalism- A guide to our Future", talks to ANA-MPA about the economic situation in Europe, the debt crisis and the refugee crisis.
Paul Mason believes that Greece "is more than just a hostage of the international banking system. It is a laboratory of a new kind of Europe" and thinks that there isn't a single serious economist who believes Greek debt is viable. He also points out that the refugee crisis has just began, and is threatening the European project.
This is the full text of the interview with Paul Mason :
Q - Mr. Mason in a speech a few months ago you declared that "capitalism is dying". What's next?
P. Mason - Capitalism is going to take a lot of time to die. And in my book "PostCapitalism" what we are exploring is the impact of information technology on the market. Now this seems a long way from what is happening in Greece. Greece's problems are incredibly immediate and due to the old forms of capitalism we know as neoliberalism. Greece is going to be put through yet another memorandum of austerity. But I think that even in a country like yours we do see the beginnings of an alternative economy which I've been writing about. The "Omicron project" in Greece recorded something like seventy alternative economic projects, parallel currencies, time banks. Even in beleaguered Greece there is the beginning, I think, of an economy that can change the way we live.
Q - In Greece many people think that the country has become a hostage of the international banking system.
P. Mason - Greece is more than just a hostage of the international banking system. I think it is laboratory of a new kind of Europe. The euro, we as economists observed emerging in the early parts of the 2000 decade, was advertised as a collaborative project to create a single currency and eventually a single banking system. What we have now, I think, is a machine for destroying jobs. It's not only destroying jobs in southern Europe, where as you know we have youth unemployment that is at spectacular and tragic levels, but even in Germany where we have the so called "black zeros" principle of no government deficit. It is strangling investment, it is strangling the ability of Germany to modernize itself and my fear is that the new orthodoxy, the German imprint on the euro, will actually strangle the European economy. So whatever happens to Greece, the project itself is in danger.
Q - Regarding the big problem in Greece - the Greek debt. Is there any way that it could become viable?
P. Mason - I don't know any serious economist who believes the Greek debt is viable. That is why in the aftermath of the third memorandum I said that either there is debt restructuring or there will be yet another debt crisis and this applies of course to whoever is in power - whether it's New Democracy, whether it's SYRIZA, whether it's a new coalition - they are going to have the problem that the measures designed in the July memorandum will cause another recession and unless the debt is completely restructured it will not be paid. I think that this is the number one fact Greeks have to get their heads around.
Q - Which political party in Greece could negotiate and maybe persuade our lenders to change their view regarding our debt ?
P. Mason - I don't know. My job as a journalist is to stand above, to cover the political debate, but to stand above from it. I think that it is clear from the response of the population to what happened in July, that there is still an incredible attachment of the Greek people to the euro as a project. And therefore it is logical to say you certainly can't do that kind of social justice project containing the "Thessaloniki program" of SYRIZA inside the euro. Not inside the euro dominated by Germany. But you can do a lot. You can do other things. This I think is the logic of Tsipras' argument in the current election; that the elected government can do other things. And of course if there were an elected government that succeeded in negotiating debt restructuring then that would be a very interesting moment because in addition to the third memorandum, that gives Greece much better terms on the primary surplus requirement, if on top of that you got debt relief, I think you'd have to call that some kind of qualified victory. There is a kind of helpful faction inside the euro - the French and the Italians - and there is a vindictive faction inside the euro which is the Germans, the Lithuanians and the Estonians and the vindictive faction probably believes that it will never grant debt relief, unless it is to a Greek government it likes, which means a government to the right.
Q. - Mr. Joseph Stiglitz estimates that the economic crisis in the Eurozone is not over and the situation in Greece will worsen. I would like your estimation on that.
P. Mason - He is right on both counts. Actually the economic crisis in the euro depends on - first of all whether or not the global economy can survive the slowdown in China. If there is a slowdown in China and China reacts with its own monetary loosening - so this means that it prints more money, that it gives more soft loans and it devaluates its own currency against the world - then this is like canceling the impact of the eurozone's quantitive easing, and then the eurozone will have to do more. And my fear is that the global economy will enter a deflation period because effectively the only growth engine that was left to us was China and its growth matters. The Eurozone is the opposite to a growth engine; it is a stagnation machine and no amount of jobs created, you know, cheap labor jobs created in Hungary and in Germany can offset the huge structural unemployment the system is creating across southern Europe.
Q - And finally, which problem is most severe for Europe - the debt crisis or the flow of refugees?
P. Mason - I think that the refugee crisis is something that those of us who knew the issue - I've covered the refugee problem and the plight of the refugees in Greece for the last three or four years - so people like me knew in advance and told people that this would happen. I think that the big problem with the refugees is only beginning because the Hungarians insist on closing their border with razor wire, and this will create a very rapid backwash of very distressed people going right the way from the Serbian-Hungarian border, right the way through to Piraeus, right the way through to Lesvos, right the way back to Anatolia, in Turkey. The message from Merkel, "come to Germany", would become "Hey, we couldn't come to Germany and what would we do?" My most immediate worry is for the incoming government in Greece to get its head around what it does about migration. I think there was an unannounced policy of turning Greece into a transit route. It may be an option in three or four weeks' time, unless there is a Europe-wide solution. So obviously the answer to your question is obviously the most pressing issue right now, not just for the Eurozone, but for the European Union, is to do something coordinated on refugees. If it doesn't, which I think we have seen twice during the summer, we will see major European institutions and values disregarded. If Europe cannot do something for the refugees then Europe as a project will look very dysfunctional.
-Christos Kalountzoglou
Greek parties strongly condemned on Thursday comments by Golden Dawn leader Nikos Mihaloliakos, who said during an interview with private radio station Real FM that his party assumes the "political responsibility" for the murder of an anti-fascist musician in 2013, though not the criminal responsibility.
The statement comes a day before the two-year anniversary of the murder of Pavlos Fyssas.
SYRIZA said the assumption of political responsibility of the murder of the musician by the leader of GD one day before the anniversary of the murder, "outrages every democratic citizen who is struggling and wants the rule of law."
"The heinous crime revealed to the entire Greek society the odious face of GD: a murderous, fascist gang directed against the weak, using as a pretext a spurious anti-systemic rhetoric, which is absolutely convenient for the system," SYRIZA added.
New Democracy noted the need to defend democracy by being alert. "We shuddered from the brazen statement on taking the political responsibility for the death of Pavlos Fyssas by the head of Golden Dawn. It is a provocative confession made during the election campaign to terrorize citizens and parties." The party also noted that this event shows that a punishment vote reinforces extreme parties and hurt democracy.
"Mihalliakos' confession proves that the murder of Pavlos Fyssas was not an isolated incident, but a result of the fascist ideology, organization and action of the neo-Nazi organization," Popular Unity said in a statement. The party described Mihaloliakos' statements as a "shock-confession" which proves Fyssas' murder was not an isolated incident.
Potami said the admission shows in the "most unequivocal terms the criminal character of this organization" noting that after this undisguised confession nobody has the right to say they were misled. "Every vote to Golden Dawn is a reward for its criminal acts. It is everyone's duty to fight so that on Sunday they will not to allow the leader of a criminal gang to claim the third exploratory mandate," the party said.
"Greek men and women must respond to the provocation and close the door to the gang of murderers," PASOK said in a press release.
On their side, the Independent Greeks (ANEL) lambasted Mihaloliakos for his "immense cowardice" and the "repugnant face of the neo-Nazi organization", adding that the statement highlights "the cynicism of the purely electoral considerations" he made with the provocative confession.
The European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday lowered the ceiling for emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) Greek lenders can tap from the Greek central bank by around 200 million euros to 88.9 billion euros.
The situation in the Greek banking system will be re-assessed on October 6.
More than 23 pct of Greek businesses - or nearly one in four - were found to have infringed tax rules during on-the-spot inspections conducted by various branches finance ministry inspectors last week. The ministry services conducted 2,959 inspections on 2,940 businesses and discovered violations in 691 cases.
The rate is slightly higher than that of recent ministry inspections over a series of weeks, where 6,970 violations were recorded in a total of 35,859 inspections of 34,642 businesses.
The majority of the violations, around 88 pct, concerned a failure to issue or the issue of inaccurate tax information, such as receipts. Tax office inspectors also confiscated six cash registers.
Delinquency rates were even higher in the inspections carried out by the Public Revenue Investigation Service, running at over 50 pct, and again involved mainly the failure to issue receipts.
Greek unemployment rate fell significantly to 24.6 pct of the workforce in the second quarter of 2015, from 26.6 pct in the first quarter and 26.6 pct in the second quarter of 2014, totaling 1,180,141 people, Hellenic Statistical Authority said on Thursday.
In a report, the statistics service, said that structural problems such as high unemployment among young people (49.5 pct) and that long-tern unemployment accounted for 73.1 pct of total unemployment still remained.
The number of unemployed people fell 7.3 pct compared with the first quarter of 2015 and by 7.8 pct compared with the second quarter last year. Unemployment among women was 28.3 pct (down from 30.4 pct in 2014) while among men it fell to 21.5 pct from 23.5 pct.
The unemployment rate in the 15-24 age group fell to 49.5 pct from 52 pct last year, in the 25-29 age group it fell to 35.7 pct from 40 pct, in the 30-44 age group it fell to 23.8 pct from 25.5 pct, in the 45-64 age group it eased to 18.8 pct from 19.9 pct and in the above 65 age group it fell to 9.9 pct from 10.2 pct. A 13.2 pct of unemployed people sought exclusively full-time job, while a 80.1 pct was willing to work part-time job if necessary and a 6.7 pct was searching for part-time job or no job at all. Unemployment among foreign citizens was 29.6 pct, while people with no education at all recorded the highest unemployment rate (52.5 pct).

The Special Synodical Committee for Pilgrims Tours of the Church of Greece and the Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourist Agencies (HATTA) announced on Thursday their collaboration in an effort to strengthen religious tourism.

The European Court ruled on Thursday that "even in the event of a flight cancellation on account of unforeseen technical problems, air carriers are required to compensate passengers."
However, certain technical problems resulting, in particular, from hidden manufacturing defects affecting the safety of flights or acts of sabotage or terrorism may exempt air carriers from their obligation to pay compensation.
Under EU law, in case of cancellation of a flight, air carriers are required to provide adequate care for the passengers concerned and to pay compensation (between 250 euros and 600 euros, depending on the distance).
Greece's wine production is expected to be very low this year, according to the first estimates of the Production Reconstruction Ministry on Thursday.
More specifically, the total production volume is seen at 2.65 million hectoliters, down by 5.36 percent compared to last year.
According to Greece's central cooperative union of vineyard products, this year's production will be 12.28 percent lower compared with the average volume of the last five years and by 30.1 percent lower compared with the average volume of the last decade. The main reason for the decline in production is the adverse weather conditions which hit large vineyard regions such as Achaia, Korinth and Herakleion, Crete island.
Greek stocks ended flat on Thursday as the market froze ahead of Federal Reserve's decision on monetary policy in the US and ahead of a crucial vote on Sunday in the country.

The Greek bond yielded 8.33 pct and the German Bund 0.77 pct. Sentiment in the market is steadily improving, in contrast to what usually happened in previous elections in the country.

"Our town no longer exists." Syrian refugee Aime sits in her wheelchair in Mytilene port, along with her husband Omer, their two children and three or four thousand other migrants and refugees, recounting her family's story in perfect English.
"Our country Syria no longer exists either," Omer cuts in. They are both less than 30 years old, their children under five. They paid 1,500 dollars each for a place on one of the flimsy rubber dinghies that make the crossing to Lesvos each day, as well as 750 dollars for each of their children and an extra 1,000 dollars to take Aime's wheelchair!
A form of myopathy has left Aime disabled from the waist down but this does not prevent her from caring for their two children, nor does it prevent Omer from loving and caring for her. They left Syria, fleeing the war, and crossed the border into Turkey between water pumps and barbed wire. At one point, Omer was forced to carry Aime, the children and the wheelchair to get across.
"There was nothing else I could do," he said.
"Where are you heading?" we ask them.
"Germany," they reply.
When asked what they will do when they get there, all they say is that they want to live.
Then we lose sight of them among the throng of fellow refugees, to fight another battle: that for the ticket that will allow them to get on a boat to Piraeus and complete another leg of their long journey.
We wish them good luck. They're going to need it.
Fourty-seven relatives of the victims of the fatal sailboat wreck near the islet Farmakonisi last Sunday will be called at the hospital of Rhodes on Thursday morning to identify the bodies recovered from the sea, authorities announced on Wednesday.
The relatives arrived by ferry from Leros earlier today, assisted by the Southern Aegean Prefecture which is covering the cost of their transfer, food and accommodation.
The sailboat sank on the early hours of Sunday (Sept. 13) off the island of Farnmakonisi, resulting in the death of 34 people, including four babies and 11 children. Five Syrian and two Pakistani nationals who were arrested as suspected traffickers and operators of the boat appeared before the prosecutor in Kos on Wednesday and were charged with committing a felony.
Mostly fair weather and northerly winds are forecast for Friday. Wind velocity will reach 7 on the Beaufort scale. Temperatures in the northern parts will range from 17C-33C. In the western parts from 18C-33C and in the eastern parts between 15C-33C. Sunny over the Aegean islands and Crete, 22C-32C. Fair in Athens, 20C-33C; the same for the Thessaloniki, 17C-31C.

Who Will Win Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat, BBL 2018-19?
Brisbane Heat, after going down in the tournament opener against Adelaide Strikers, will hope to secure a win when they go up against Hobart Hurricanes in this fifth fixture of the Big Bash League 2018-19. The match is scheduled to be played on December 22 at the Carrara Oval (Metricon Stadium) in Queensland. Live telecast will begin at 6 PM local time.

Toss/Bat Flip Prediction
The Carrara Oval has not hosted enough matches which makes it difficult to gauge the nature of the pitch. However, since the wicket is unlikely to change after the first period of play, the team that wins the 'bat flip' in this match will probably prefer to field first.
Read on for team previews, betting odds, betting tips and match prediction for Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes, Big Bash League 2018-19...
Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
BRH Team News
Brisbane Heat will have the whole squad to choose from for this upcoming encounter against Hobart Hurricanes as the team does not have any injury concerns. Also, none of their players will be away on international duty. However, they are expected to retain the entire group of eleven from the tournament opener even though they ended up losing that game. Max Bryant will probably continue to open the batting alongside Brendon McCullum with Chris Lynn taking up the number three slot.
BRH Key Players
Chris Lynn and Brendon McCullum are the key figures in Brisbane Heat's batting line-up. Lynn looked in good touch in his knock of 33 in the opening game versus Adelaide Strikers while McCullum was the team's leading run-scorer last year. The latter cracked a half-century against the Hurricanes last time and he will be expected to make a sizeable contribution here as well. Joe Burns and Max Bryant are the others to watch out for with the bat. Brisbane Heat will be counting on the likes of James Pattinson, Mark Steketee and Mujeeb Ur Rahman to do the trick with the ball. Pattinson was the pick of the bowlers in the last match with figures of 2-23 from four overs. Steketee was the Heat's best bowler last year while Mujeeb, who was pretty economical against the Strikers, will look to build pressure on the Hurricanes in the powerplay.
BRH Recent Form
Brisbane Heat have kicked off their BBL 08 campaign on a losing note as they were downed by the Adelaide Strikers by five wickets at the Gabba. They had faced defeats in their final four league games last season which means that they have now lost their last five matches in a row. Their middle order failed to click in the last game and they could muster only 146 runs in the end which eventually proved insufficient.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing 11
Max Bryant, Brendon McCullum, Chris Lynn (c), Joe Burns, Sam Heazlett, Ben Cutting, Jimmy Peirson (wk), James Pattinson, Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HBH Team News
Wicketkeeper-batsman Matthew Wade has taken over the captaincy from George Bailey and is set to lead Hobart Hurricanes in this eighth edition of the BBL. The club has released Cameron Boyce and Dan Christian to Melbourne Renegades and have brought in all-rounder James Faulkner as Christian's replacement. Tim Paine is currently with the Australian national team and so he won't be playing this match. The Hurricanes could open their batting with Alex Doolan and D'Arcy Short.
HBH Key Players
D'Arcy Short has hit tremendous form in the previous two BBL seasons and he even topped the runs charts last time with 572 runs. The left-hand opening batsman blitzed a century and a fifty against Brisbane Heat last season and the team will want him to replicate that form in this match. There will also be high expectations from Matthew Wade and Ben McDermott who both shone with the bat with scores of 71 and 67 not-out respectively in the semi-final game against Perth Scorchers. Jofra Archer, Tymal Mills and James Faulkner are all match-winners with the ball and the Hurricanes will be hoping for this trio to be at its best on Saturday. Archer was amongst the tournament's top five bowlers last season with 16 wickets in 12 matches and the speedster is likely to trouble Brisbane Heat the most. Mills and Faulkner are experienced campaigners and it will be crucial that they provide good support to Archer.
HBH Recent Form
Hobart Hurricanes won five and lost as many matches out of the ten they played during the league phase of the previous season and made it through to the playoffs, finishing fourth on the points table. They went into the semi-final on the back of three consecutive defeats but recorded a resounding 71-run victory over Perth Scorchers in the semis to set up the title clash with Adelaide Strikers. The Hurricanes then lost the final by 25 runs to finish runners-up.
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing 11
D'Arcy Short, Alex Doolan, Ben McDermott, George Bailey, Matthew Wade (c/wk), Simon Milenko, James Faulkner, Johan Botha, Jofra Archer, Clive Rose, Tymal Mills

Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes Head to Head
BRH vs HBH Head to Head
Brisbane Heat have won four while Hobart Hurricanes have won eight out of the twelve matches that have been played between these two teams in the Big Bash League.
Hobart Hurricanes have won four of their last five encounters against Brisbane Heat and they even did the double over them in the previous season.
Hobart Hurricanes had registered a six-wicket win in the most recent encounter against Brisbane Heat this year in January at the Bellerive Oval. Batting first, the Heat posted 165/8 on the scoreboard before the Hurricanes overhauled that total in the 19th over.
Matches Played: 12; Brisbane Heat Won: 4; Hobart Hurricanes Won: 8
Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat Betting Odds
Brisbane Heat begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this fifth match of the Big Bash League 2018/19. They are being offered at odds of 1.66 on Betway, 1.72 on Bet365 and 1.79 on Betfair. Hobart Hurricanes find themselves as outsiders for this game at a higher price of 2.16 on Betfair and 2.10 on both Betway and Bet365.
Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes Prediction
Hobart Hurricanes certainly have the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record as they have beaten Brisbane Heat eight times out of twelve in the BBL. Also, having finished runners-up in the previous season will also make them feel confident going into this game. Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, have not made the kind of start they were hoping for but they do have the resources to help them bounce back. In Chris Lynn and Brendon McCullum, they have two of the world's most dangerous T20 batsmen in their side and if these two get going on Saturday night, the Hurricanes will find it very tough to stay in the game. The Hurricanes may have had plenty of success against the Heat in the past, but we expect the latter to shrug off the disappointment of the previous defeat and come up with a strong all-round performance in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Brisbane Heat to beat Hobart Hurricanes at 1.66 with Betway, 1.72 with Bet365 and 1.79 with Betfair.

I'm Srihitha Ramasahm. I'm pursuing my MSc in Project Management at University of Northampton. AbroadOptions helped me in finding a beautiful university (University of Northampton) and they have guided me very well. The University options they gave me were more than 10 and they were all in my budget too. Initially, i was in a dilemma to choose a course, i have done my bachelors in commerce and was looking for a masters degree in Management in the UK. So, they suggested me MBA or MSc Project Management would suit my profile really well. After considering the Pros and Cons of both the options, i have chosen MSc Project Management. They helped me in every possible way they could and i'm really happy with all the decisions I've made under their guidance. I hope my review helps you to make a decision wisely. Thank you 😊

Jens Bullerjahn, né le  à Halle-sur-Saale (Allemagne de l'Est) et mort le  à Eisleben (Allemagne), est un homme politique allemand, membre du Parti social-démocrate d'Allemagne (SPD).

Il est vice-ministre-président et ministre des Finances de Saxe-Anhalt entre 2006 et 2016.

Jeunesse, formation et vie professionnelle
Jens Bullerjahn achève ses études secondaires à l'école polytechnique de Bernbourg en 1979, puis entreprend une formation pour d'électricien. Celle-ci prend fin en 1981. Au cours des trois années suivantes, il accomplit son service militaire obligatoire dans l'Armée nationale populaire (NVA).

Après son retour à la vie civile en 1984, il décide de suivre une formation d'ingénieur électronicien à Magdebourg. Elle prend fin en 1987 et il se voit alors recruté pour un poste d'ingénieur en automation au sein du combinat de Mansfeld.

Engagement politique

Débuts
Membre du Parti social-démocrate d'Allemagne de l'Est (SDP) à compter de 1989, Jens Bullerjahn rejoint le Parti social-démocrate d'Allemagne (SPD) en 1990, quand ce dernier absorbe le SDP. Il participe alors à la fondation de la section de Grunddörfer.

Cette même année 1990, il est élu à trois reprises. Il intègre ainsi le conseil municipal d'Ahlsdorf, l'assemblée d'arrondissement d'Eisleben, et le Landtag de Saxe-Anhalt.

Ascension
En 1993, Jens Bullerjahn est choisi comme secrétaire général () du groupe parlementaire social-démocrate, qui se trouve alors dans l'opposition. Aux élections locales de 1994, il abandonne son mandat municipal mais est élu à l'assemblée de l'arrondissement du Pays-de-Mansfeld.

Réélu député peu de temps après, il joue un rôle de premier ordre pour la constitution du  (), une combinaison parlementaire permettant un gouvernement minoritaire des sociaux-démocrates bénéficiant du soutien sans participation du Parti du socialisme démocratique (PDS, gauche radicale héritière du SED).

Il ne se représente pas aux élections locales de 1998, ne conservant que son mandat parlementaire. En , il est choisi comme nouveau président du groupe SPD au Landtag, renvoyé dans l'opposition en 2002.

Ministre des Finances de Saxe-Anhalt
Pour les élections régionales du , Jens Bullerjahn est investi, à 43 ans, chef de file () du SPD, prenant la suite de l'ex-ministre-président, Reinhard Höppner. Le jour du scrutin, les sociaux-démocrates obtiennent 21,4 % des voix.

Il négocie alors la formation d'une  avec la CDU, le ministre-président Wolfgang Böhmer ayant perdu sa majorité après le fort recul enregistré par les libéraux. À la suite du succès de ces négociations, Jens Bullerjahn est nommé vice-ministre-président et ministre des Finances du second cabinet Böhmer le .

Retrait de la politique
Jens Bullerjahn annonce, en , qu'il n'a pas l'intention d'être à nouveau chef de file électoral aux élections de 2016, se justifiant par sa volonté de se concentrer sur ses responsabilités ministérielles.

Le , il quitte le gouvernement, donc la vie politique.
