PoacherCam
Panthera's state-of-the-art anti-poaching technology
With automatic weapons, snares, and poison, poachers are decimating wildlife populations. They target big cats for their skins, claws, teeth and other body parts, which are sold on the illegal wildlife market. But we're fighting back. Panthera is on the front lines of the fight against poaching, and our revolutionary PoacherCam is at the heart of these crucial law enforcement efforts.
We've been producing wildlife monitoring devices called PantheraCams since 2008 which evolved into the groundbreaking PoacherCam with a motion-triggered detection system to instantly distinguish between people and animals—the world's first camera to do so.
With an invisible infrared flash, the PoacherCam covertly captures human activities and sends images and locations to law enforcement officials in real-time via wireless networks. This trailblazing technology enables law enforcement officials and site security experts to identify, capture and prosecute poachers, saving the lives of big cats around the world.
In 2019 we debuted the PoacherCam V7 with multiple upgrades, including:
10% smaller than the previous version, making it easier to hide in the field
updated processor for quicker image analysis
WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities that allow images to be checked and set-up remotely

Panthera is continuing its work on improving the functionality and lowering the production costs of this technology so that we can expand its use and prevent more poachers from hunting wild cats and other wildlife. Combined with ranger training that encompasses technology, analysis and response, PoacherCams have become a real game-changer in the fight against poaching.

Home Tech Why WhatsApp Is Still the Better Than Telegram and Signal?
Why WhatsApp Is Still the Better Than Telegram and Signal?
After WhatsApp revealed its new privacy policy at the beginning of 2021, its 2 billion monthly users are now conflicted about using the same service or moving on to newer services like Signal and Telegram which are trying to increase the number of servers in order to accept their new users. The Facebook-acquired platform gave its users until 8 February 2021 for users to accept the new policy or delete their account. This is done in an attempt to unify the three platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
Unification of the three platforms will create personalized search ad engines on Facebook, and in order to do this, WhatsApp has requested access to personal data. This data will only be shared with WhatsApp and Facebook and no other third party can access it. With this ongoing debate to ditch WhatsApp or not, this section is about why WhatsApp is still the better option from all others.
WhatsApp's primary feature is encrypted end-to-end messaging, which means that the amount of content has restricted visibility on its site for this information. This encryption allows the users to see WhatsApp's primary aim at attracting its users: no ads, no sponsored posts, and no institutional messages. The platform also released WhatsApp business to help small scale and popular business sites Ajio, Jabong, Myntra to conduct business via WhatsApp. It is safe and secure, and no personal information is released via encrypted windows.
One of the most popular things about WhatsApp is its availability across almost every system like iOS, Android, Blackberry, Symbian, and Windows. The login is just your phone number and your phone checks the number of available registered users in your contact list, so you don't need to send friend requests and such invitations. WhatsApp is the only platform to work efficiently in both desktop and mobile apps, as most apps only function on phones and vice versa. Its Delete for Everyone option has also turned out to be a lifesaver as wrong messages can now be taken down immediately within minutes.
It's pretty easy to create groups on WhatsApp as well, and it can be customized as per our liking. The user is given the right to alter their visibility as their comfort rather than conforming to set guidelines as followed in other apps. WhatsApp has also introduced the Disappearing Messages feature and it is helpful in erasing conversations after a set period of time.
The timer is set and the data is erased automatically with this option. WhatsApp's audio messages, voice calls, and video calls are free of cost and are available in high quality for all users, which makes it one of the most preferred services to be used today. Apps like Telegram and Signal may be secure, but they are still developing apps and are just increasing the number of service operators globally, whereas WhatsApp is an established service and is unique to all other messaging apps.

The Email Syndicate Scam. Read This Review Before Joining!
If you are a regular reader of the Make Money Online Zone blog then you may recall a recent review that we wrote. Not so long ago we wrote a review for a product called The Guaranteed Email System. At the end of that article we said that we would need to delve deeper into that scam as there were more than one connection to further products. If you didn't read that review, you can do so by following the link provided above. But if you want the quick version of that article, The Guaranteed Email System was potentially one of the worst scams we had seen in some time.
Well, it would seem that the scammers behind the Guaranteed Email System also created the Email Syndicate Scam too! And things were only set to get worse as we delved deeper into this rip off.
Welcome to my Email Syndicate Review!
In this review I want to be completely clear about what you might hear online about this system. If you have done any research on this product, then you may well have found a few differences in opinion. There are a couple of reasons why this system actually gets good reviews. The first reason is because this product is actually promoted via affiliates through a popular affiliate network. Unfortunately, affiliates that promote The Email Syndicate scam are either misled or simply don't care how they make money. In this article I want to tell you how I believe this system works and why I believe it's survived for so long!
What Is The Email Syndicate?
This system is basically an email marketing system that supposedly allows you to make money by sending out promotional emails. This product makes the deal sound really good as they claim that everything is done for you and all you need to do is press a couple of buttons each day.
The Email Syndicate Scam – The Small Print!
The intro video gives us a guarantee of money with this system. However, the small print at the bottom of the page tells another story!
After entering some fake contact details we are taken to the member's area. And what a surprise to find exactly the same system and training area that we saw in the Guaranteed Email System!
How does the Email Syndicate Scam Work?
When anyone joins up to this system, the people behind it appear to be building you an email list. Building an email subscriber list is something that is very common in internet marketing and is indeed a good way to keep in touch with your customers and also to make money online. However, the Email Syndicate Scam builds a list for you on auto-pilot and also at record speed. If you have ever tried to build a subscriber list you will know how difficult it can be. But somehow this product manages to get you hundreds of new subscribers every week. Since you are paid per email click, the subscribers don't need to purchase anything either.
Is the whole thing completely fake?
Fortunately over the years we have gained a few resources online. So in the interest of everyone, we decided to investigate this list building scam a little further. I knew that I wouldn't be able to find out how this company was building everyone's mailing list. But I was able to find a member of the site who would test the mailing list to at least see if the emails collected were legitimate. The results were quite amazing!
On testing the email addresses given to us by the Email Syndicate scam, it would appear that they are all either fake, outdated or redundant. On testing the email addresses directly through the autoresponder, we received no responses. It is quite possible that this scam simply produces hundreds of fake email addresses and simply reuses them over and over.
So what about the earnings? Also fake?
On discovering that the email lists created within this scam are fake, then it doesn't take a lot to work out how the Email Syndicate can guarantee $100 in 24 hours of using the system. These guys have no intention of paying you any money that you earn. The earning figures displayed in the member's area are completely fake, along with the email list that you are paying to host as a member of this scam.
And then we found Joe Robertson. Joe was an unhappy ex-member of this scam who decided to take some action. Joe confirmed the fact that you don't stand a chance of seeing any payments from the Email Syndicate system.
The Email Syndicate scam is a website that makes its money from scamming its members. They make money from the membership sales as well as various upsells that they offer. They offer a trial of the membership at $1.95 for 5 days and then $47 after that. And then offer to upgrade the membership for $97 before a further offer of $77 to use your fake email list 3 times a day! The creators of this scam also make their money being affiliated to the autoresponder service that they recommend.
As Joe pointed out in his video, this company have no intention of paying out any money that you think you might have earned here. It's all completely fake and a total scam!
It would seem that the creators behind this system have found such a great way to scam people that they decided to duplicate it. We started out investigating one system that led us to the Email Syndicate Scam. But it would seem that the story doesn't quite end there either! Whilst investigating this system, we found yet another money maker by the same people.
Stay tuned as we investigate "My Email Mentor". Seems like these scammers have been really busy!
Looking for a totally legit way to make money online?
Have you had experience of the Email Syndicate Scam? Do you know of any other duplicate sites like the systems we have mentioned? If so, please post a comment below and we will investigate further. I would love to hear from you and promise that I will personally reply to each and every comment received. I wish you all the best with your online ventures and look forward to hearing from you real soon. Take care out there!
Thank you Andrew for a thorough review of Email Syndicate!
As you say, me too believe that the best way to build a Email list is to build it yourself, even if it takes time and effort.
But it's so easy to get tempted of "easy ways out" when hearing about helping systems and big promises. But it is a jungle to navigate between all false shots.
So thanks again! Reviews like yours is needed to help us keep out form the bad boys blacken the online marketing industry. Keep up the good work!
My pleasure Marika. Yes, building an email subscriber list of your own is the only way to do it in my opinion. The opt-in list that you build should be personal to you and your website. The people that are on your list should have opted in for a reason, if only to get a free report from you! Even if the Email Syndicate scam was a legitimate website, having someone else build your list from random people is just crazy.
There is a saying that "the money is in the list" however any experienced marketer will tell you that this simply isn't completely true. The money is actually within the relationship that you have with your list. If those people don't know you and have never heard of you, they will be less likely to trust your recommendations.
So yes, building your own list is definitely the way to go!
Thank you for an honest review of email syndicate as it is very dangerous to sign up for these things without doing thorough research to what they are.
I see that you mentioned Wealthy Affiliate is a better system… because we know email syndicate is a scam, will Wealthy Affiliate teach us instead how to build an email list that will scale and be successful?
Hello Ken! Thank you for getting in touch and thank you also for your question. They say that the money is in the list don't they? Well that's not always the case! Systems like the Email Syndicate and many others, will teach you supposedly easy methods of building massive lists of email subscribers. This really isn't needed to make money online. What is needed is "targeted buyers", and that's what Wealthy Affiliate can teach you.
Wealthy Affiliate will teach you how to build a website that attracts targeted traffic. People that are interested in what you are saying and what you are promoting are far more likely to purchase something and make you a commission. The likes of The Email Syndicate say they will build you massive lists quickly and on total auto-pilot. Although it would seem that these scammers just use fake email addresses, if they didn't it would still be a poor system. Whats better, a list of 10 targeted people to your niche or 10000 people that couldn't care less? My first ever email list had only 10 subscribers before it made me money. There's a lesson there!
Will Wealthy Affiliate teach you how to build that list and get targeted traffic? In my opinion it offers the best training online for just that. I also offer additional support in the members area, should you need it.
Feel free to join me. Just click the make money online link at the top of the page to get started!
Wow, Andrew this is very bad! I am sure there are tons of unsuspecting victims putting in money, effort and time just to see a system that works. Thank you for this review it will save a bunch of people. I was looking at this system but will avoid it now.
Which of the email leads system do you recommend? I know there must be a couple that works?
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. Hopefully this review will get to the people that need it the most. Glad to hear that you are avoiding this now!
In answer to your question, I do not recommend that you try any sort of automated lead generation system. The best and most trusted way to generate real, genuine leads and to build up your email subscriber list is to build it yourself. Offer a free ebook or offer on your site and then give it away in exchange for an email address. If you want to really ramp up your efforts, promote your squeeze page with social or paid traffic. At least that way, you know where your leads have come from and more importantly you know they aren't fake!

On Originality
Why are we always beginning everything all over again? Millions of people already play the violin much better than I do. Millions have already mastered French and Spanish. Millions more already know all there is to know about wine tasting and baseball card collecting.
Following in other people's footsteps is fine, as long as I'm big enough to fill their shoes. But why start from scratch if all I can ever hope to do is scratch the surface? Because our mistakes make us interesting. Like DNA recombination — each iteration introduces slight inaccuracies, which in turn produce the astounding variation we experience as originality.
"Let no one say that I have said nothing new", French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal averred. "The arrangement of the material is new. When playing tennis, both players hit the same ball, but one of them places it better." In the margin for error lies all our room for maneuver.
This essay originally appeared in the July/August isue of Ode Magazine.
Aphorisms by Robert D. Dangoor
Robert D. Dangoor has been in the property business for 30 years, and in the aphorism business for 25. He's written some 600 aphorisms, contained in eight editions of his book, The Way It Is.
Ten of his sayings were put on the back of sugar sachets and distributed all over the U.K. His aphorisms have been quoted in the U.K. national press, and The Oscar Wilde Society said of him: "Robert Dangoor, like Oscar Wilde, has an uncanny understanding of life and a very skilled way of writing about it." He's lived surrounded by books all his life, first as a bookseller, then in publishing, and now as a writer.He's also written a book of letters, Lifelines.
Mr. Dangoor comes from an Iraqi Jewish background and lives in London. Writing aphorisms "has been like a full time hobby for me," he says. "I like my aphorisms to be inspirational and make people think about the lighter side of life." A selection of his sayings:
When you don't have a friend in the world, befriend yourself.
Don't ride on your pride.
Better to teach someone who knows nothing than someone who knows everything.
You have to sacrifice something to get everything.
Nothing is free except what comes within you

Avengers endgame full movie download in hindi filmymeet
Onkar mehta July 24, 2020
Hello everyone the time has come this is our avenger's endgame full movie download in Hindi filmymeet review.
I can assure you that I'm not gonna do a recap of this movie Dennis I think we're just gonna jump right into it. So what do you think? Oh, I absolutely loved it as someone who grew up reading comic books and reading specifically this Infinity Gauntlet storyline in the comics and seeing how it's being translated and adapted to Their Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I was very satisfied with what they did and they built up a lot I loved infinity war, but I came in with a lot of apprehension Because of the stuff they set up but in my mind, it paid off In a very satisfying way, I will agree with the very end of what you said I think I'm at the point where I liked it a lot and I'm teetering on the edge of Loving it, and you know when I tweeted last night I will probably say that the initial tweet after seeing Avengers end game might be one of the most difficult Twitter reactions I've ever written because when I say the movie was a lot I mean it is a lot it's the culmination Of a 22 film arc. It's a three-hour movie There are so many key characters in the play the way that the story is structured is it's truly Mind-bending so walking away and having like a split second reaction.
Avengers endgame full movie download in hindi filmymeet full hd
It's a challenge I'm still not in love it territory and I think it's simply because The first hour of the movie it took a little while to get going I think what we see before the title card is very strong, but what comes after it? It's very talked heavy and I think the dialogue is spot-on It just took me a little longer than I would have liked to really connect and feel the momentum of the movie No, see I actually like that. I like that it has a different pace than any war was very like Okay, we're here.
Okay now a bunch of kinds of stuff happening or over here about where this one's like They have to fully realize and take in What happens in the last movie and I like the slow build and yes there's probably a point in the middle where it gets a little bit slower and a little more repetitive, but- Not enough for me to dig into too much I mean, it's a slight criticism, but for me, it's like where they end up I'm thoroughly happy with seeing that's the thing. That's really kind of messing with my head right now Is that at the moment when I was sitting there in the theater?
I was thinking to myself I'm not connecting with these characters and this mission as much as I would have expected to at this point but After seeing it and having let's say 12 hours to be removed from it to actually take a step back and see the bigger picture That stuff that I say is slow You need it in order to have the payoff at the end. And oh wow that payoff I mean really my mind is truly blown by the architecture behind this whole cinematic universe and in particular, when it comes to Infinity war and the end game narratives that build is just so incredibly well earned, it is not easy to craft a cinematic event like this and not have it simply feel like Oh, Fan service here. Remember when that happened? No.
Avengers endgame full movie download filmywap hd
Look at this character They earn every single moment in the story that they crafted here justifies it Yeah when you mention that there is a lot in this movie to unpack and but because the Russo brothers did such a good job and also the screenwriters as well of Weaving all the storylines and characters all into play it feels seamless to me and like you wouldn't think overall these movies with all these characters and What not they would be able to do it. But I Congratulate them.
I'm not convinced. It's seamless yet but the conversation that we were having After we had seen the movie when we started to put all the pieces together and started to string all the events together in particular It is it's it is very very satisfying. I think after your second watch. I think you will be back on here Or actually on our spoilers review you'll possible you're gonna be like, I'll I know where you're going with this. Yes, I think I think a second watch you may turn that that really really like into love it's totally possible and there is something about investing yourself in 10 years worth of storytelling and then sitting here for the movie titled endgame a Feeling that I will never forget and then the feeling that it left me within the end I mean,
Avengers endgame full movie download tamilrockers
I mean it justified these intense connections that I have with so many of these characters because similar to franchises like DC and Star Wars this is something that kind of seeps into your life in a very Different way than let's say just a single movie and not to say that a single movie can't have Major meaning for someone out there But to have lived with this for so long and to feel personally connected to these characters and to basically feel in real life what they reference in the movie the fact that they're Family that that's what this feels like to me and that's what that ending felt like and wow.
Wow, did they stick that landing? Yeah, I mean I grew up on all three Star Wars Marvel DC and so for me like, you know all these things I hold dear where I think some people especially the younger generation today They Star Wars for them is not their thing and they haven't connected to something some have but the MCU, in Particular, has resonated with them and they have connected with these characters in these storylines and so I feel like a lot of people are going to Get That payoff that they were looking for at the end of this movie. Yeah This one was heavily focused on the original six And it's not even just that they had more time this time around they had very well fleshed out arcs that serve this Individual movie on its own very well Obviously you need the events of in front anymore to get that but I thought it worked really well in this particular film and the way that it connects to Everything that's happening in this franchise is just something else and I am very very impressed that they pulled it off From the visual perspective this movie looks different in a number of different ways There are certain sequences with different color palettes that really stuck out to me
But I'm talking not even scenes or sequences I'm talking about single Frames that when you see that visual and you pair it with that score there is something about it that gives you chills goosebumps however you want to put it there's a number of those but there's one in particular and I'm very eager for other people to find it when they see the movie, but it meant a lot to Review And that was a great shot actually I think my favorite show is a few a couple minutes before that and I think I know what you're talking about. So, yeah This movie definitely has it. It's weird It has a similar tone to infinity war but also different at the same time It's still true to what was built. But obviously, with what happens in there There is you know more somber tone. Like you said the color palette is a less bright darker, but it does still have the Action the humor and emotion.
Avengers endgame full movie download tamilrockers in english
There's yeah there were several Emotional moments throughout the movie that I was like, oh my god. You know what? The more I talk about it the more I am You know, I'm still hesitant to use the word love yet until I watch it again But I'm teetering on that and it's all it's not just because of the in the moment experience of watching the movie It's also because of the conversation that comes after it. I really do think that they hit a great balance between having just enough comedy keeping that somber tone so that you maintain the stakes that were another thing that I was very impressed by because you know after the snap happened we were constantly talking about like How are we gonna get the rest of the MCU and ever have it feel like that? The moment had stakes and without kind of you know glossing over that and making it meaningless when Yuri watch infinity war, they handle it in an A-plus way that worked for me.
So well, yeah, I was concerned that it would retroactively Make infinity war a worse movie in a sense. I don't know if that's possible for some people but like, you know So I 'm glad that I was able to get out there satisfied not with endgame but also with infinity war I'm gonna give it a 9.5. I'm not sure what I gave infinity war. I think was around the same vein I think I'm coming in at an 8.5 right now an 8.5 out of 10 Which is it's still a very high score.
Avengers endgame full movie download in hindi freemoviewap
I liked this movie a lot again I give it that score because I found it a little slow to start but then when it ramps up it freak intakes off and it flies and I Really? I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I really can't get over how satisfied I was in the end and how it made me feel the fact that a franchise like this can be Constructed in a way that makes you feel a part of it in a way like obviously, these are characters and battles that we're watching happening on the big screen We're not really in the mix. But this kind of connection to a group of characters feels a little different than pretty much most other franchises out there and you know to have this movie is something special to have a cinematic event like this is Really kind of unheard of and I do think that any kind of franchise that wants to achieve something similar avengers endgame pulling this off with 22 films is a great model to follow not a copy and paste but if You want to look at something that really built over the course of ten years This is something else.
Yeah, I mean they looked at it like it was a high budget big-budget vision series and they had a They knew where they were going and so they know obviously There's gonna have things you have to change along the way but they knew what their endpoint was one other thing before we close This out I think another thing that makes this such a powerful franchise and such a powerful concluding chapter to something that will obviously continue but is The fact that you could feel the love for these characters It's not just about putting these stories on the big screen and wowing us with VFX anymore.
They created fully Developed layered characters that are people and you could tell like the love for those characters and what they're experiencing is Radiating off the screen from Kevin Feige and everybody underneath them I mean you felt it in the room for the premiere and you feel it when you watch these movies you saw it in infinity Where I think but you really see it at the end of endgame, so I will leave it at that All right.

Thornton's Budgens outlines plastic-free vision
By Robin Mannering2018-11-13T10:21:00+00:00
Budgens retailer Andrew Thornton believes his Belsize Park store will be "virtually" plastic-free within three years and has challenged retailers and manufacturers to follow suit in his vision to reduce plastic packaging.
Last week the North London store unveiled dedicated plastic-free zones showcasing more than 1,700 products including meat and fish, packaged in innovative materials such as beechwood nets, pulp, paper, metal, glass, cellulose and cartonboard.
Andrew told C-Store: "Our aim is to show the big supermarkets that it is not as difficult to go plastic-free as they think. If we, as one shop, can get more than 1,700 plastic-free lines together in 10 weeks, then surely the likes of Sainsbury's, Asda and Tesco can. Imagine what they could do if they put their minds to it.
"Then, if they applied it, the big manufacturers would suddenly have to put their products in non-plastic as well."
He added: "More than 1,700 out of our 14,000 products are now plastic-free. Our aim is to double that within six months and our vision is that in three years' time we'll be virtually plastic-free. But that requires the support of the big manufacturers."
Andrew downplayed questions over the cost of plastic-free packaging. "In terms of cost, paper packaging is no more expensive than the plastic bag it was in before. Some of the materials are more expensive, but the price of those will come down.
"We have absorbed some of that cost – our cheese, we've had to put the price up very slightly per kilo, but so little people would hardly notice. It is a myth that it has to cost more.
"The more head of steam we can get behind this, and the more big retailers say they're going to do, then the more efficient and sustainable it will be."
Sian Sutherland, co-founder of campaign group A Plastic Planet, said: "Thornton's Budgens is disrupting the market and showing that wrapping something as fleeting as food in something as long-lasting as plastic is the definition of madness."

Thornton's Budgens urges manufacturer support after adding 200 unpackaged lines
North London retailer Andrew Thornton has renewed calls for major manufacturers to "get on board" his plastic-free revolution after unveiling an 'unpackaged' range of 200 products in his Thornton's Budgens store.

Budgens is in "great shape" after recruiting 70 stores in the past year and expanding in to 12 new counties, according to brand director Mike Baker.

Commentary: US celebrates 35 years of diplomatic relations with the Holy See
U.S. President Ronald Reagan talks with Pope St. John Paul II. Courtesy U.S. Embassy to the Holy See
Ambassador Callista L. Gingrich
Vatican City, Apr 9, 2019 / 08:21 am (CNA).- Thirty-five years ago today, William A. Wilson presented his credentials to Pope John Paul II, becoming America's first ambassador to the Holy See. This historic moment marked the start of formal diplomatic relations between the United States and the Vatican.
Although our embassy was officially established in 1984, ties to the Holy See date back to our nation's founding. The early years saw the appointment of consuls and resident ministers to what was then the Papal States. Relations temporarily ended in 1870 following Italian Unification. The United States and the Holy See, however, continued to engage at a distance.
Throughout our history, U.S. presidents have recognized the important role of the Holy See in advancing peace and justice. From 1870 to 1984, several personal envoys were dispatched to the Vatican for discussions on humanitarian and political issues. During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt's envoy to Pope Pius XII worked with the Holy See to feed European refugees, provide aid to Eastern Europe, and assist allied prisoners of war.
But as the Second World War gave way to the Cold War, the destructive force of the Soviet Union threatened to sweep across the free world. Millions died under the thumb of communist rule and many more continued to suffer under its tyranny.
Two leaders were determined to change this: President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II. They quickly realized that an unofficial relationship between the United States and the Holy See was no longer adequate to meet the dangers posed by Communism.
Soon after taking office, President Reagan requested a meeting with Pope John Paul II. When the two leaders met in Vatican City in 1982, President Reagan asked the Polish pontiff when Eastern Europe would be free from Soviet domination. When the Pope responded "in our lifetime," the President grabbed his hand and said fervently "let's work together!"
President Reagan returned to Washington D.C., and within two years established official diplomatic relations with the Vatican. When Ambassador Wilson presented his credentials to Pope John Paul II on April 9, 1984, the Pope told him that renewed collaboration between the United States and the Holy See should mean "exerting common efforts to defend the dignity and the rights of the human person."
For the last 35 years, this unique partnership has done just that. It has existed, in President Reagan's words "to the benefit of peace-loving people everywhere."
Today the United States and the Holy See are a world-wide force for good – safeguarding religious freedom, defending human rights, and seeking peaceful solutions to crises around the world.
In all of these areas and more, the United States benefits from the Vatican's global influence and moral leadership. With 183 diplomatic partners, the Holy See is second only to the United States in the international arena. And like the United States, the Vatican is one of the world's largest providers of relief services.
As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See is honored to continue this great legacy of friendship and collaboration with the Vatican.

The opportunity for citizens living abroad to vote in their national elections has been the practice for many countries in the world, including several in Africa. So it is a touch ironical that we, who wear our badge of ? First to become independent in Black Africa? with so much gusto, should now be taking the steps to do that which citizens of many of our sister countries have taken for granted for so long. Thus, if we really need to find out how others have been able to make their kith and kin in the Diaspora feel that they still belong fully to the land of their birth, it should not be too difficult to find out how it is done and what must be avoided.
Giving the annual State of the Nation address to Parliament at the beginning of 1996, President Jerry John Rawlings promised that his government was going to take the necessary steps to have eligible Ghanaians living abroad to be registered to vote in the 1996 elections. That commitment by the former President must push us to resist the unfortunate tendency to view all maters of national debate from the jaundiced lens of partisan politics. Clearly, there is consensus within the country?s political leadership on the legitimacy and desirability of making it possible for Ghanaians living abroad to take part in our Presidential and Parliamentary elections. Therefore we must all resist the obvious and move this debate and discussion away from the cynical axiom of the business of the Opposition in Parliament being simply to oppose every action of Government and offer no alternatives. If the good intent of the NDC of 1996 failed to materialise, this is the time to affirm their continued commitment to the principle by lending its full weight to bi-partisan review and passage of the bill now before Parliament.
Article 42 of the 1992 Constitution states that ?Every Citizen of Ghana of eighteen years of age or above and of sound mind has the right to vote and is entitled to be registered for the purposes of public elections and referenda?. This means that the right to vote is the same for every citizen of Ghana, whether they actually reside in the country or not. However, the exercise of this constitutional right to vote is contingent on all citizens getting their names on the Voters Register, as compiled from time to time by the Electoral Commission under the powers conferred on it by Article 45 (a) which sets out the first function of the EC as: ?to compile the register of voters and revise it at such periods as may be determined by law?
The confusion about the voting rights of Ghanaians abroad has something to do with the law which governed the conduct of the first elections of the 4th Republic of Ghana in 1992, namely PNDC Law 284, which stipulated that the voters register in place at the time of the election would be used for the elections. That register, first compiled in 1987, and subsequently revised in 1991, specifically excluded Ghanaians living outside the country, with the exception of those working in Ghanaian embassies, international organisations, or serving in UN Peace Keeping operations from registering to vote in public elections in Ghana.
As the Constitution of the 4th Republic did not come into force till 7 January, 1993, there is no doubt that Ghanaians living abroad were not entitled to register to vote in the 1992 elections nor any other public elections before then. Now that the Constitution is in force, I am not so sure that the right of Ghanaians living abroad is in the discretionary authority of any institution, be it Government, Parliament or the Judiciary.
Yes, the Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to vote. However, that right can only be exercised when Ghanaians abroad can put their names on Voters Register. Being able to do so requires that we address and overcome a number of very practical issues which revolve around the very practical issues of establishing and authenticating 1) The Ghanaian Living Abroad; and, 2) The Resources needed to put bona fide Ghanaians living abroad onto the Voters Register.
Therefore our primary concerns for the current debate must focus on overcoming the constraints that have denied most Ghanaians living abroad from being able to exercise their constitutional right to vote up until now. I believe the key issues that should inform our discussion and debate on the current bill can be encapsulated in finding answers to the following basic questions: (1) Who is a Ghanaian living abroad?; (2) Does the right to vote mean the right to be registered in your foreign domicile?; (3) Who should undertake the registration of Ghanaians abroad?; and, (4) Who should pay for Ghanaians abroad to be registered?
Who is a Ghanaian living abroad?
The prerequisite for ensuring the integrity and general public support for the Government?s intent is to ensure that there are strict and unambiguous provisions which enable us to establish the bona fides and citizenship credentials of Ghanaians living abroad beyond any doubt. In this respect, I think it would be reasonable to assume that every citizen of Ghana living abroad who was born in Ghana before commuting to their present location must have a passport or equivalent legal documents issued by the Government of Ghana that confirms their entitlement to Ghanaian citizenship. The right to continue to enjoy Ghanaian citizenship is guaranteed by in Article 6(1) of the Constitution which states: ?Every person who on coming into force of this Constitution, is a citizen of Ghana by law shall continue to be a citizen of Ghana?.
It is also reasonable to expect that the children of Ghanaian living abroad, who qualify to be citizens of Ghana under the Constitution, and are desirous of doing so, would have taken the necessary steps to register their citizenship in their country of domicile or the nearest Ghana mission. The right of Ghanaians in the Diaspora to extended our citizenship to their to their progeny is guaranteed by Article 6(2) which states that: ?Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, a person born in or outside of Ghana after the coming into force of this Constitution, shall become a citizen of Ghana at the date of his birth if either his parents or grandparents is or was a citizen of Ghana?
I would therefore suggest that the possession of a valid Ghanaian passport living abroad who have valid passports, travel certificates or such other officially recognised documentation, establishing the right to Ghanaian citizenship, should be required as proof of eligibility for Ghanaians living abroad who wish to be registered to vote in our national elections.
However, in order to make sure that we limit possible abuse and reduce administrative problems of implementation, I would further suggest that the opportunity to register is limited to Ghanaians living abroad who have taken the time and trouble to register their details with Ghana?s diplomatic missions in their countries of domicile or equivalent designated points at the coming into force of the law currently before Parliament. I think it is fair and reasonable to suggest that any Ghanaian living abroad who is not already in possession of a passport or other documents of citizenship cannot really be interested in how the country gets along, or who governs it.
Nothing under the present laws of Ghana prevent Ghanaians living abroad from coming back here, at their own expense, to put their names on to the Voters register. Indeed, several thousands of Ghanaians have been doing so since the 1992 Constitution came into effect. So in that respect, one can argue that since the Constitution does not specify in-situ residency in Ghana or elsewhere as a requirement of eligibility to vote, the present situation of not registering Ghanaians abroad in their countries of domicile cannot be considered a denial of their Constitutional rights.
Therefore, in as much as Ghanaians in the Diaspora have a right to vote, they do not and cannot insist that they have a constitutionally-guaranteed RIGHT to demand or insist that they must be registered to vote where they live or anywhere else outside Ghana. By the same token, Ghanaians living abroad cannot interpret their right to vote as meaning a right to vote in Ghanaian elections in their countries of domicile or anywhere else outside of Ghana.
It is therefore essential to appreciate that the proper intent of the Bill currently before Parliament, which is to make it possible for Ghanaians living abroad to be able to put their names on the electoral roll and also be able to exercise their right to vote in our public elections without having to come back to Ghana to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, I must repeat that the Bill is not intended, nor must it purport, to give Ghanaians abroad the right to vote. They already have that right under our Constitution which is the supreme law of the land.
I believe that the registration of Ghanaians living abroad, as well as the conduct of elections outside of this country, must be undertaken by the Electoral Commissioner and no one else, period, even if the physical locations of the exercises are the offices of Ghana?s missions.
The Constitution has taken the very wise step of shielding the Electoral Commission from any interference by any external persons or bodies in the conduct of its work.
Article 46, states:?Except as provided in this Constitution or in any other law not inconsistent with this Constitution, in the performance of its functions, the Electoral Commission shall not be subject to the direction of any person or authority?. The only legal direction of another person or authority is in the appointment of the Commission, which is the President?s prerogative, acting in consultation with the Council of State.
Since Ghana does not have official missions in every country where our kith and kin abroad are living at the moment, nor will it be possible to establish registration centres in every city/town in those countries where we have missions, it will be necessary to restrict the conduct of voter registration and elections to the offices of Ghana?s diplomatic missions abroad which are in operation at the time. The Electoral Commission must publish a public notice laying out a timetable for when registration would take place in the various places.
If we want to ensure transparency, fairness and integrity of the exercise, especially to ensure that the exercise enjoys the full confidence of the Political Parties, we can extend the current practice of allowing each party to nominate representatives, at their own cost, to observe the various exercises at the designated centres. I would counsel strongly against the use of officials of Ghana?s missions abroad, especially heads of missions, both political and diplomatic, in the exercise. Sure, they can facilitate the work of the Electoral Commission staff, but must do so on a strictly ?When asked? basis.
On the due date, those who wish to register must turn up at their nearest registration centre, armed with their passports and requisite fee to be registered to vote in a constituency where they were born, as set out in their passports, or if they are foreign-born citizens, at the constituency of one of their parents.
Who should pay for the Privilege?
It is important for Ghanaians living abroad to understand and appreciate that what is being done for them is the granting of a ?Privilege of Convenience? by their kith and kin at home. As already stated, the fact of the matter is that they cannot insist that they have a right to vote in Ghanaian elections from the comfort of their external domiciles. The truth is that, as with the exercise of all privileges, the ability and willingness to give is determined by two principal factors, namely: (1) The willingness of the giver to grant the privileges; and (2) the ability to ensure that the recipient can receive and indeed enjoy all of the privileges.


When you walk into the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art's new exhibition "Freigedank" (Free Thinkers) by Israeli multimedia artist Guy Goldstein, you are immediately confronted with the notorious opera Rienzi by German composer Richard Wagner, played by a ghost orchestra of transistor radios, while a grid of coded dots projects onto the surrounding walls. However, with Goldstein's work, nothing is as it initially appears.
The multisensory and evocative installation marks the inauguration of the first-ever artist prize awarded by the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art. As the first recipient of the Keshet Award for Contemporary Art, sponsored by the Bar-Gil Avidan family, Goldstein was selected by renowned curator Louis Grachos to realize his exhibition.
Grachos, who is the executive director and CEO of The Contemporary Austin in Texas, was tasked with choosing the prize winner from a group of 10 finalists previously determined by the Award Committee.
Goldstein was born in Haifa in 1974, earned a bachelor's degree from the NB Haifa School of Design and a master's degree from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.
"Goldstein is known as a sound and installation artist, whose unique language translates visual image into sound, and vice versa, through innovative technological means," says Aya Lurie, director and chief curator of the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art.
In his installation at the museum, Goldstein expands upon themes reflected in his previous works, delving deeply into the social and political aspects of sound and music.
"I found this idea to be thrilling and rich with potential…to create a truly inspired and experiential exhibition that could engage audiences in a visceral way," says Grachos.
As an Israeli, and as the grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Goldstein does not shy away from "off-limit" ideas like Wagner's infamous opera Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes (1838-1840), which was banned in Israel due to its use in Nazi propaganda. Instead, Goldstein intentionally concentrates on this controversial piece in an attempt to spark a dialogue about censorship and how it can define social, political and cultural identities.
"Just like any other art form, music and sound are products of their cultures and tied into them very intimately," says Goldstein. "For me, it isn't about returning to the 'pure' original piece; that isn't interesting.
Goldstein's installation references the propaganda utilized by the Third Reich, while also cautioning about the dangers of censorship and art used for sectarian purposes.
The installation fills the entire gallery space with 20 chairs arranged to mimic the spatial experience of an orchestra. The chairs have been disassembled and reassembled to appear standard at first glance, but they have been modified in a way that eliminates their traditional function.
Atop every chairs is a radio transmitter, each of which is set to broadcast a single station, and each station plays a separate instrument section. Together, the radios form a full orchestra playing Wagner's opera.
"He uses the medium of sound – specifically, pirated radio transmission – to disassemble and restructure Wagner's opera, converting illicit text into music and transforming the physical space itself into a music box," says Grachos.
Goldstein's meticulous attention to detail is once again visible in the Morse code-like dots, projected onto a grid, moving across three walls of the gallery. This is, in fact, another deconstruction of the opera; Goldstein breaks down the libretto into a visual code of analog data, which can be read only by a machine.
"I wanted to create a space that has multiple inputs – including sound, visual, and informative – that viewers can move through, a space where the materials are available but their reception is not enforced," says Goldstein.
"The installation is truly experiential – to stand in Goldstein's 'music box' is to absorb through the senses the emotional intensity of Wagner in real time," says Grachos.
Through his installation, Goldstein forces thought-provoking ideas about societal responses to collective trauma and the intricacies of cultural censorship and sensitivities.
"I think it is essential for artists – and for anyone living in a democratic society – to continue finding new meanings in the images, sounds and signs around us, and not to subscribe to one version of their meaning because that should be something that always keeps changing, evolving and expanding," says Goldstein.
Following the exhibition in Herzliya, Grachos has invited Goldstein to exhibit at The Contemporary Austin in 2019.

Spoilers ► Sora is a heartless?
So, I was watching and thinking about the Nobody creation. To a Nobody come to exist, a heart that have darkness and light in it need to become a heartless or stripped away of the body. Them the body will gain a existence of his own, like a empty shell, right?
Then after Sora stabbed himself with the heart keyblade and became a heartless, roxas and naminé was born, and he managed to gain his preview form after huging kairi.
Okay so my doubt is... he was like Ansem SoD who managed to look like a human being even being a heartless.
So Sora was a heartless until he fusion with Roxas again in the begining or end of kh2? (never got if was in the beginig or the end they fusion).
I think that being a Heartless requires you to have your heart consumed by darkness, so Sora during CoM/the end of KH1doesn't really count. That said, he is a very unusual being at that time in the sense that he is just a heart without a body but isn't a heartless.


Following the publication by the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) of its first National Infrastructure Assessment, NIC Chair Sir John Armitt led a delegation to West Yorkshire to discuss the need for investment in West Yorkshire and Leeds City Region's infrastructure.
In the Assessment, the National Infrastructure Commission recognised that investment in the National Powerhouse Rail (NPR) route is a vital strategic investment in order to deliver long overdue improvements between major cities in the North. Bradford City Council leader and West Yorkshire Combined Authority chair Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe welcomed Sir John and his colleagues at Bradford Interchange, the planned site of an NPR station.
Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe walked the party through plans to develop the improve integration between bus and trains services and house a city centre Northern Powerhouse Rail station as part of the complex.
Cllr Hinchcliffe then chaired a round-table meeting at Bradford City Hall, to discuss the NIC's recent recommendations on building a digital society, transport, housing, drought and flooding risks and carbon. The meeting also included city region politicians, Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (The LEP) Chair Roger Marsh OBE and private sector business representatives.
In Leeds, there was a visit to the award-winning phase one of the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme at Leeds dock, which uses the UK's first state-of-the-art moveable weir flood risk reduction technology, followed by a tour of South Banks Leeds. Covering over 250 hectares to the south of the River Aire, South Banks Leeds will generate over 35,000 jobs and more than 8,000 new homes while helping to double the size of the city centre.
And, on the final part of their tour, the NIC group were show plans to remodel Leeds Station to maximise the impact of HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail.
Cllr Hinchcliffe, who had invited Sir John and his colleagues to West Yorkshire said: "Today's visit has provided the opportunity for us to have a meaningful discussion with the National Infrastructure Commission about our requirements and plans for infrastructure across Leeds City Region.
"We were able to show Sir John and his colleagues how we intend to develop Bradford Interchange to accommodate a Northern Powerhouse Rail station, which is forecast to transform our city centre and result in 15,000 new jobs and an additional £14 billion in GVA across the Leeds City Region.
Roger Marsh said: "All of the key areas covered in the National Infrastructure Commission's recommendations, digital development, transport and housing, flood alleviation, low cost low carbon and revolutionising road transport are key to our ambition to generate over £11billion and create 100,000 jobs while bring our City Region into line with global emission reduction targets.
Cllr Kim Groves, Chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Committee said: "The Combined Authority has already committed close to £150 million from our West Yorkshire-plus Transport Fund into infrastructure schemes designed to speed up journeys, make public transport a more attractive option, and encourage more cycling and walking as well as cutting the economic and environmental costs of local congestion.
Leeds City Council executive member for regeneration, transport and planning Councillor Richard Lewis said: "We were very pleased to welcome Sir John Armitt and the National Infrastructure Commission delegation to Leeds and the region today to see the impact significant investment can have to improve people's lives and to benefit the economy at local, regional and national levels.
Sir John Armitt said: "From the cycle superhighway to the award-winning flood alleviation scheme in Leeds, it's clear West Yorkshire is keeping a strong focus on improving local infrastructure for the benefit of residents and I was pleased to be in Bradford to hear about the progress being made.
Rosa Foster, strategic partnerships and projects manager in Yorkshire for the Environment Agency, said: "We are working closely with strategic partners such as the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, the Leeds City Region LEP, local councils, community groups, businesses and other organisations to get the most out of investments into physical infrastructure across the region.
"By working together, we will better protect communities from the risk of flooding, improve the environment by creating richer habitats for more wildlife as well as opening up key opportunities for regeneration.
"We need to increase the resilience of people, property and businesses to the risks of flooding. It is vital that people living in high risk areas sign up to our free flood warning service which will help them to have as much valuable time as possible to move themselves, their families and precious items to safety.

Microsoft Has Made A Massive Move Towards Metaverse
Coinbase Wallet Has Come Out In Support Of NFTs
Cryptocurrencynewslatestnews
Coinbase Wallet, the crypto exchange from the United States, had decided to make new upgrades to its wallet, which would now support NFTs. This move could exponentially lead to further adoption of its browser extension. On Tuesday, the company announced that the wallet will soon be able to provide support for NFTs, thereby providing users with the ability to check out their collections and thereby access the leading NFT marketplaces in the area like OpenSea.
Interestingly, the company never did specify the exact date for the rollout but has claimed that users would need to have the latest version of the extension for this browser installed in order to access the features provided.
Coinbase Wallet Could Revolutionize NFTs
It is pretty understandable that the Coinbase Wallet is looking out for itself in 2022, with its plans of expanding its support for other NFTs, as well as making its native decentralized exchange trading feature a lot more accessible and affordable. The Wallet for the company already has an integration feature for DEX which would allow the users to convert their holdings through multiple decentralized exchanges.
As reported by Cointelegraph, Coinbase recently brought forth its new standalone browser extension for the wallet that would allow users to access a far wider array of crypto assets on the DEXs.
The Coinbase Wallet is definitely going to be quite popular since the growth of digital collectibles has been one of the most defining moments of 2021- even if the mania for NFT has gone down in the last couple of months. According to Cointelegraph Consulting, it has been estimated that the total sales of NFT could top the sum of $17.7 billion this year. As far as data from NFT shows, the weekly sales did end up peaking in late August at around $1.6 billion.
With Coinbase Wallet turning into the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange behind Binance, it is assumed that people would flock towards the goldmine of opportunity.


There is a pleasant din as dozens of people converse across the long folding tables at the Southside Community Center gym. A woman walks by with a baby on her hip, her plate filled with Cajun shrimp, grits and salad. I ask the people sitting at my table, "Why did you decide to come?" The Asian woman and Latino man both laugh. The answer seems obvious. "It's great not to have to cook. And I want to get to know my neighbors. We just moved here." It's an auspicious start to a three month experiment.
What would it take to scale this up?, Adriane mused. Could this work in larger neighborhoods than EcoVillage? After graduating, Adriane started her own woman-owned company, Quinn Energy. She invited both Southside Community Center (SSCC), in a historically black neighborhood, and Learn@EcoVillage to partner with her to see if we could provide community meals for Southside residents on short-notice. This mimics the 48 hour notice that utilities use for demand response programs, to save energy.
Together we put on three meals, February- April, funded through a $500 mini-grant from Sustainable Tompkins. There were some challenges. Tragically, Leon Lawrence, the dynamic Director of SSCC, died suddenly just a couple weeks before the first planned meal. Then the Associate Director resigned shortly afterwards, leaving SSCC without a leader. However others from SSCC, including Nydia Blas and Charles Rhody stepped forward to lead the way. Together with about eight EcoVillage volunteers, and Adriane and her husband, we pulled off a successful experiment this Spring.
The events averaged over 38 community members per meal, with at least 100 community members total. It showed that people outside of the EcoVillage context showed strong interest in community meals, even when they were given short notice. Originally we had hoped to collect energy data for the participating households, but it proved to be too much for our volunteer staff to manage, on top of the publicity, shopping, meal preparation and clean-up.
In the future, we will continue to seek more funding to carry out a longer experiment. In the meantime, Adriane submitted an abstract for a presentation to the ACEEE Behavior, Energy and Climate Change conference. There was also interest expressed by the NYS Energy Research, and Development Association (NYSERDA) Behavior Program Manager and the NYC Mayor's Office for Sustainability staff.
It's wonderful to see how community meals at EcoVillage have inspired this project which could potentially be scaled up to make a dent in peak power usage in urban neighborhoods. Rather than build a new power plant, utilities may decide to provide a free neighborhood BBQ on a hot summer day. What could be more fun?

May 6th – May 29th
Eavesdroppings are the scraps of conversation that have become the foundation of the surveillance economy. Akin to Guano (the bird excrement that became a hot commodity in the 19th century), our chit-chat is part of the torrent of 'Data Exhaust' harvested by tech giants for free, and sold on for $$$$$$$$$!
Is your phone spying on you? Yes, it is. Is this a problem? You tell me!
Eavesdroppings presents solutions for audio surveillance, from the 'privacy leaf-blower' to the retro stylings of the 'tin-can telephone', a technology that's coming from the treehouse to your house, and guarantees you won't be secretly recorded by a nefarious app!
Come and meet your new best friend Cayla™, Alexa's baby sister, the doll banned in Germany! She's excited to talk to you! Only at Eavesdroppings (because they've taken down her app and she can't talk anywhere else).
Ben Coleman is a British multi-disciplinary artist residing in Denver, CO. His practice is rooted in sound-making and performance-making, but often plays with other media, including music, text, video and installation. His work most often focuses on how we experience sound, how we use sound, and how we think about, and with, sound.
Coleman grew up in theatre and music, forming his first bands in London while studying contemporary performance. Moving to the US in the 2000s, he dedicated some eventful years to musical projects and audio engineering. His practice now encompasses curatorial projects, and frequent collaboration with artists across disciplines, including choreographers, visual artists, and theatre practitioners.
His work has been presented by the High Museum of Art, Denver Art Museum, Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Contemporary, Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia, Gibney Dance, Georgia Institute of Technology, Emory University. Collaborators have included the Nap Ministry and Moog Music.

Upstart Marlins Shed 'Bottom Feeder' Label, Battle Braves in NLDS
By Ed Scimia on October 6, 2020 2 min read
One thing is certain when the Florida Marlins take on the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS beginning on Tuesday: someone has to give up some runs.

You wouldn't know that based on how both teams ripped through their respective wild-card series, with pitching performances that completely shut down their opponents.
Fried, Alcantara Earn Game 1 Starts
The Marlins allowed just one run over two games against the Chicago Cubs. The Braves did even better, shutting out Cincinnati over 22 innings of play in their series.
In other words, pitching will take center stage in the best-of-five series. Max Fried takes the ball for Atlanta in Game 1 after going 7-0 in the regular season and throwing seven shutout innings in Game 1 of the Braves' wild-card series. Fried showed no ill effects from an ankle injury he suffered against Miami on Sept. 23.
Marlins vs. Braves Odds (via FanDuel Sportsbook)
Game 1 Moneyline
Marlins (Alcantara): +168 Braves (Fried): -196
Marlins (+1.5): -118 Braves (-1.5): +100
Over 8: -118 Under 8: -104
Series Winner
Marlins: +245 Braves: -300
"I don't think we thought about Max's ankle or him not having that many innings," Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman told reporters. "I think we all knew Max would go out there and compete. Him competing at the highest level is pretty special."
The Marlins will counter with righty Sandy Alcantara, who gave up just one run over 6.2 innings in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday.
Oddsmakers give the edge to the Braves. FanDuel Sportsbook lists Atlanta as a -196 favorite over Miami (+168) in Game 1, and a strong -300 pick to win the series as a whole.
Marlins Continue to Surprise Oddsmakers
The Marlins have defied the odds all season long. On Opening Day, Phillies television analyst Ricky Bottalico referred to Miami as "bottom feeders," a moniker they've come to embrace. After an early-season COVID-19 outbreak threatened to cancel their entire season, Miami roared back to finish 31-29, then upset the Cubs in the wild-card round to reach the NLDS.
"This is such a weird year to begin with," Marlins catcher Chad Wallach said, via Newsday. "But when you lose 18 players to a virus and guys come in and fill in, and then you start getting those guys back, it brings the team together. It makes it family-like."
The Braves represent the biggest challenge yet for the Marlins. Not only can they pitch, but Atlanta boasts a powerful offense as well, led by NL MVP candidate Freddie Freeman. The slugger suffered through a severe case of COVID-19 before the season began, and started the year slowly. He turned it on over the final 45 games, however, finishing the season hitting .341 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI.
"How it started off three months ago, getting COVID, I didn't know what this year was going to have in store for me," Freeman told reporters. "But you know, I'm just glad to be here. It's been a special year so far."
