In today's fast-paced business world, staying connected with customers and employees is crucial. Hosted PBX solutions have emerged as a popular and efficient means of achieving this goal. These cloud-based telephone systems offer advanced features like unified messaging, automated attendants, conference calling, and call forwarding. Hosted PBX solutions not only help businesses reduce costs associated with traditional phone systems but also provide a reliable platform for seamless communication. With the flexibility of accessing features from anywhere with an internet connection, businesses can stay connected regardless of their physical location.
Definition of Hosted PBX
Hosted PBX, also known as Private Branch Exchange, is a telephone system that leverages internet and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology to facilitate communication between two or more users. This cloud-based service integrates multiple features such as voice mail, auto attendant, call routing, conference calling, and more. Hosted PBX systems are gaining popularity due to their cost efficiency and scalability.
One significant advantage of hosted PBX is cost savings compared to traditional landline phone systems. By utilizing the internet instead of physical lines, hosted systems eliminate the need for costly hardware installations. This helps businesses reduce upfront expenses, avoiding investments in expensive equipment and recurring fees associated with landline services. Moreover, hosted PBX systems are relatively easier to maintain, often requiring minimal IT support or specialized training.
Another key benefit is the scalability offered by hosted PBX systems. Businesses can easily add new lines without the need for additional hardware or software licenses. This flexibility proves ideal for growing companies with variable demand levels, allowing them to quickly expand capacity without incurring extra costs.
Benefits of a Hosted PBX Solution
In the modern business landscape, effective communication is essential for success. Hosted PBX solutions offer numerous benefits that can enhance efficiency and save money for businesses of all sizes.
A hosted PBX solution operates over the internet, leveraging the advantages of cloud-based technology. It provides businesses with advanced features such as voice mail, auto attendant, call routing, conference calling, and more, without requiring costly infrastructure or hardware upgrades. Additionally, these solutions offer greater flexibility as businesses are not tied to a single physical location and can easily scale up or down based on their needs.
Scalability is a major advantage of hosted PBX solutions. As businesses grow or evolve, the system can be easily adjusted to accommodate changing requirements without investing in new hardware or software licenses. This scalability is particularly beneficial for seasonal companies or those with varying demand levels, enabling them to quickly adapt to changing conditions without incurring additional costs.
Cost savings are another significant advantage. With hosted PBX solutions, businesses eliminate the need for upfront investments in hardware, reducing installation and maintenance costs. Moreover, long-distance and international call charges are typically lower compared to traditional phone systems. Businesses can enjoy cost-effective communication solutions without compromising quality.
Security Considerations
In an increasingly connected world, security is a paramount concern. When utilizing PBX solutions, it's important to consider various security aspects to protect data and privacy. Here are key security considerations:
- 1. Regular software updates: Keeping software up-to-date is crucial as updates often include critical security patches. This applies to operating systems, applications, web browsers, and plugins. By staying current with updates, businesses can mitigate potential vulnerabilities and protect against malicious attacks.
- 2. Strong passwords: Implementing strong passwords is essential for protecting accounts from unauthorized access. Strong passwords should include a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It's crucial to avoid reusing passwords across multiple accounts and regularly change them to maintain security.
- 3. Two-factor authentication (2FA): Enabling 2FA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring users to provide an additional code after entering their username and password. This code can be sent via text message or generated by a mobile app. Implementing 2FA helps prevent unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised.
Cost Analysis & Comparison with Traditional Phone Systems
When evaluating phone system options, conducting a cost analysis and comparison with traditional phone systems is essential. Several factors must be considered to determine the overall cost-effectiveness and performance of each system.
Installation costs play a significant role in assessing the cost of switching to a modern phone system from a traditional one. Traditional systems often require extensive wiring or physical installations, resulting in higher upfront costs. In contrast, modern systems, particularly IP-based solutions, require minimal installation, such as basic cabling or software configuration modifications.
Features offered by newer systems should also be considered when comparing them to traditional analog devices. VoIP-based phones, for example, often offer additional features like conference calling capabilities, voicemail-to-email forwarding, and advanced call routing options. These features can enhance communication efficiency and streamline business operations.
Case Studies & Examples of Successful Hosted PBX Implementations
To showcase the value and success of hosted PBX solutions, let's examine a few case studies:
- 1. Healthcare Provider: A large healthcare provider reduced monthly telephone expenses by 30% after implementing a hosted PBX system. Advanced features such as voicemail-to-email forwarding and automatic call routing improved communication across the organization, leading to enhanced efficiency and customer satisfaction.
- 2. Construction Company: A small construction company implemented a hosted PBX system with outbound Caller ID functionality to track incoming calls more efficiently. This allowed them to identify leads originating from marketing efforts, enabling better sales management and significantly increasing conversion rates compared to previous methods.
- 3. Retail Chain: An international retail chain used hosted PBX for seamless communication across multiple locations. The system's scalability and advanced features supported effective customer service, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and increased sales.
Summary & Conclusion
Hosted PBX solutions offer businesses an efficient and cost-effective way to manage communication needs. With easy setup, a wide range of features, and scalability options, businesses can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and provide better customer service. By leveraging modern technology and the power of the cloud, hosted PBX solutions enable businesses to achieve effective communication without heavy investments in hardware or software.

Many people are considering moving cross country, yet some are frightened to move at this time because of the Covid-19 disease. Some of these worries might be normal; still, with suitable and also careful mitigation you possibly can move securely and stay away from the risk of Corona Virus. Thankfully, you will find a few reliable moving companies that do everything to make sure your safety throughout this health crisis.
Before planning to move cross country it is best to ask the owner of the movers what they do to minimize the risk of the coronavirus spread. Consult if the mover is going to be wearing masks. Make clear that you do not want anyone to visit your old home or even your new home when they show symptoms of having the virus. Check with a crew member who you observe is coughing when you have the right to ask them to leave the building.
The best cross country movers actually have protocols and strategies in place to avoid the spread of coronavirus. Your selected mover must have healthy workers and they must be able to finish their jobs, and also mission to very carefully and securely move you quite seriously.
One wise idea that moving specialists are suggesting in this Corona Virus crisis is to get the movers move in the large furniture into position, the large stuff, and place all of those other unpacked boxes within the garage. You can easily disinfect the surfaces of the large furniture with Lysol or another disinfectant. For wooden furniture, hit them with Lemon Pledge to protect against any deterioration to the surface.
Any time you unpack the boxes, just move them out onto the front yard on a sunny day and start unpacking. When one is completed, start another one.
Even though, you will likely be in close distance to the moving crew, make an effort to keep this at a minimum distance 6-10 feet. When you always keep up with the distance, they will also out of good manners, it is human nature. You do not even have to mention it, just maintain the distance. Additionally, wear the mask once the moving crew is relocating. Keep children and also elderly members of your family inside a room in which no moving is being conducted along the way. Everything will be alright.
When the new neighbors come to introduce themselves, Say to them thank you, and let them know that you are under the quarantine because you moved from another location, but just for 14-days. Inform them that you really feel fine, but those are the rules. Say to them how happy you are to get nice friends and neighbors and that you will probably be so joyful when this is all over so you can easily become familiar with them and invite them to come to your new home.

"Oftentimes, local policy changes are the ones that are going to influence your day-to-day practice most directly—and are the ones where your voice has the most power because you're closer to the decision makers. There are so many ways for nurses to become involved in advocacy, and it can be simple things just like voting or being knowledgeable on the issues," Erica Fischer-Cartlidge, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, EBP-C, chief clinical officer at ONS, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS.

Highlights From Today's Episode
"We think of advocacy and policy, and our minds automatically go to the national level in Washington, DC. But advocacy at the local level, even within a local organization or regionally at the state level, are just as important, if not more sometimes. There are so many ways for nurses to become involved, and it can be simple things just like voting or being knowledgeable on the issues. And then even bigger like supporting a candidate or communicating with legislators." Timestamp (TS) 03:18
"Oftentimes, local policy changes are the ones that are going to influence your day to day most directly. And the ones where your voice has the most power because you're closer to the decision makers. For example, if your hospital was proposing policies around mandatory overtime or floating throughout the hospital, you would really be impacted by those decisions. But chances are, people who are making the decisions are also those you are interacting with on a routine basis. . . . So being involved and sharing your knowledge and experience with decision makers can really influence the outcome." TS 03:58
"Policy I see as a responsibility to my patients and colleagues now. . . . Politics, which is largely about the process of how things get done, is different from the policy, which is the principles we have to guide what we do. I may not like the process of how something gets done, but that doesn't mean I can turn away from the decisions that are made through the process, because they are going to be the standards that govern my day to day. Whatever side of the aisle you fall on, ultimately, we want to do what's best for the patients and the profession. That's what the policy is all about." TS 07:05
"Awareness I think is the biggest thing that nurses need. Take time to read what issues are up for discussion and the implications of them, sign up for newsletters related to healthcare advocacy so you're routinely informed, think about what you would want the people who are making the decisions on the issues to know. These are small steps that can really be the foundation." TS 14:26

The present investigation was conducted on "Evaluation of strawberry (Fragaria x anasassa Duch.) cultivars under sub tropical conditions of Punjab". The objectives of this study was to evaluate ten strawberry cultivars viz. 'Chandler', 'Camarosa', 'Sweet Charlie', 'Antana', 'Ofra', 'Gorella', 'Brighten', 'Catispill', 'Elaranthra' and 'Belrubi' for their yield and quality characters. The variability among different cultivars was evaluated on fruiting and biochemical characters. The significant variability was found for these characters among various cultivars. Cultivar Camarosa took maximum days to fruit set and maximum days taken up to fruit maturity was recorded in cultivar brighten. Harvesting period was early in Sweet Charlie and late in Camarosa and Chandler. The fruit length and breadth was maximum in Camarosa and Chandler. Number of flowers/plant was maximum in Antana and Catispill while the fruit weight, fruit yield/plant and fruit yield/acre was maximum in Chandler and Camarosa. Maximum TSS and TSS/acid ratio was recorded in Sweet Charlie, highest acidity was found in Gorella and maximum total sugars in Camarosa. Highest vitamin C and anthocyanin was recorded in Ofra and Sweet Charlie, respectively.

Coronavirus antibodies are antibodies or white blood cells that help the body fight against the Coronavirus. These Coronavirus antibodies prevent and kill the increasing amount of Coronavirus from growing further. In some cases, they can be in your body since childhood, but mostly, Coronavirus antibodies are injected into the body through vaccines. Before understanding Coronavirus antibodies, it is important to understand what antibodies are and what their work is.
What are Antibodies?
Antibodies are the name of the amount of protein present in the blood. These are Y-shaped proteins that are used by the immune system to identify and fight viruses. Antibodies fight and eliminate infections and dangerous viruses like coronavirus in our bodies. Diseases are cured only because of antibodies and without them, our body will become a home of diseases. That's why you should keep getting your antibody test. So that you can get the proper treatment for your disease at the right time.
Coronavirus Antibodies
Coronavirus antibodies are basically your strength and ability to fight against Coronavirus. When the Coronavirus enters your body, it first has to face your immune system; these antibodies are the immune system that protects you from external viruses. If there is the presence of coronavirus antibodies in your body, then the Coronavirus that has entered your body cannot survive for long.
Coronavirus Antibody Testing
Coronavirus Antibody testing or Serology is a type of blood test. Which detects the number of Coronavirus antibodies present in the body. Which helps our body to fight infections and Coronavirus. The doctor will first take a fine needle and prick it into your finger, which will cause little to no pain. After that, the doctor will press your finger gently and when a drop of blood comes out from it then the doctor will spread it on a small piece of glass. After that, this sample will be further sent to the highly advanced lab, where your blood will be tested, and you will get your Coronavirus antibody testing report in about 24 to 48 hours.
When You Have to Take an Antibody Test?
Although we should keep getting antibody testing or Serology because of Coronavirus, there are some conditions when you must have to get antibody testing.
- If you want to contribute your plasma, you should get your antibody test done once so that you can't infect someone else with a dangerous coronavirus.
- If there is a patient who is at risk of having the Covid pandemic virus and has not been tested before, then you should get his antibody test done.
- If a patient is showing symptoms of Covid, but his previous Covid report has come negative, then once to confirm, you should get the patient's antibody test done.
- If someone has accidentally come in contact with a patient with Covid and he starts showing some symptoms of Covid in himself, then he should get his Antibody test as soon as possible.
- If someone is suffering from Coronavirus virus and his condition is showing improvement, and the symptoms of Coronavirus are decreasing, then he should get his antibody test done so that his treatment status can be known.
What are coronavirus antibodies? What are its effects? Coronavirus antibodies help our body to fight against the Coronavirus. These are injected into our body, or they may already be in your body. The test should be done by professionals and experienced doctors. How do coronavirus antibodies protect us from coronavirus? How is the antibody test done? The answers to all these questions have been given to you in this article.

cards against disney is a card game where players use their knowledge of the Harry Potter books to create their own versions of "the wizarding world." I've been trying to get my players to try making their own version of Harry Potter for months, and I just don't think they're ready. They're still very young, and I hope with time they will begin to appreciate the magic of reading.
Its a little bit like a cross between The Sims and Magic: The Gathering, but instead of your players creating their own worlds, they are creating their own versions of the Harry Potter books. Players make one of nine worlds, each with its own set of powers and restrictions. For example, here is one of the nine worlds, a land that is a prison in its own right, and has very strict rules regarding visitors.
You can also make your own Magic cards, the kind that you can swap and exchange with other players with ease. You can also make your own magical objects, like a wand and a wand holder. You can even make your own weapons, like a katana and a katana holder. All of this gives you a lot of creative freedom, but it can also make you vulnerable to having your personal creations (like a magical sword) stolen by others.
It's important to note that this game isn't a game, it's a game about making games. And if you make your own cards, I guarantee it won't be long before someone steals the card you just made, because you've been playing cards with other players all along.
There are a couple of ways to avoid this. First, keep your cards away from other players. When I was in high school, we had a card game where we would make a set of cards and then use those cards to play cards against each other. I made a set of cards that looked like a deck of cards and then would play them to figure out who had some of my cards.
Another way to avoid this (and maybe this!) is to be sneaky. When I was in high school, we had a card game where we would make a set of cards and then use those cards to play cards against each other. I made a set of cards that looked like a deck of cards and then would play them to figure out who had some of my cards.
If you're going to play cards against each other then be sneaky. Use a deck of cards.
A deck of cards is a thing that shows you things that are going on in the world. It's just an expression of the rules of your own game. If you're playing cards against the rules then you'll probably only be playing cards that match the rules and not just cards that aren't there. If you're playing cards against a deck of cards it makes sense to play them to find out who's on your next card.
Cards Against Christmas is the new game from the makers of Pictionary, but it's much more specific than that. Not only do we have a card game, but we have a few rules to play it too: you must be a family of four at the same time. If youre with multiple families, you can play in person but you can only play against the family youre with. You can play against the entire family at once but you can only play against the family youre with.
With cards against disney, we're playing against the entire family at once. If we play against someone who is not a family, then we have a 20 minute game to figure out what they're doing and when to stop. You can win the game with the cards alone, but you can only play against the family members you have. There are also an unlimited number of variations, so you can play with family members from different places.

Maidenhead start up Fastbag begins regional roll out of on-demand grocery shopping
Berkshire start up Fastbag, a new player in the on-demand grocery delivery market has just launched in its hometown, Maidenhead.
Fastbag offers fully tracked, on-demand, fast grocery deliveries where customers can order branded items at supermarket prices through its dedicated app.
While on demand grocery delivery is available within minutes through companies in London, Fastbag says it has a unique competitive difference. By launching in unexplored market territories, Fastbag has created a scalable business model which can easily be replicated and adjusted for other UK areas. Currently only available in Maidenhead, the company will be expanding to other towns in the next few months.
Fastbag keeps its own stock inventory and operates from its own warehouses and dark stores and its dedicated delivery team means it manages the full customer experience from start to finish. The core team combines the commercial expertise, technical and operational knowledge and experience to enhance the platform on an ongoing basis and develop new features based on customer feedback.
Safak Erkol, co-founder of Fastbag, said: "Unlike our competitors we are focused on launching in smaller towns and cities where there is less density of shops which gives us a unique advantage in that our roll out process can easily be replicated.
"We also own our tech stack and have a developer team instead of depending on tailored software packages. Owning our tech resources, having our own drivers, local dark stores and stocks helps us manage and lead the full experience with the customer in mind.
'The AI and machine learning we have implemented for the driver route optimisation lets us track each step, navigate the orders and maintain a good level of service. As we adjust to normality after lockdown, life is likely to be busier than ever, so our aim is to make life easier and revolutionise the way people shop."

Louis van Gaal has said he is concerned Manchester United could start the new Premier League season with a lack of attacking options.
It follows reports Turkish side Fenerbahce have opened talks to sign Netherlands striker Robin van Persie, while luxury loan signing Radamel Falcao has been let go and the future of injured Mexico goal-getter Javier Hernandez is not clear.
"When we feel we can say he is gone, you shall hear it from Manchester United. We don't have the feeling yet."
Louis van Gaal on Robin van Persie
New signing Memphis Depay was unveiled on Friday but it means the former champions may have only England captain Wayne Rooney and James Wilson as regular starters on the club's summer tour of USA.
"I have to see how we solve this problem," said van Gaal, who has been linked with the likes of Harry Kane, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Muller.
Fenerbahce announced via social media this week they had opened talks with 31-year-old van Persie, who has one year left on his current contract and has struggled with injury and scored only 10 goals last season, but countryman van Gaal said the deal was not over the line.
He told reporters: "When we feel we can say he is gone, you shall hear it from Manchester United. We don't have the feeling yet."
Spain goalkeeper David de Gea has also been linked with a high-profile summer move to Real Madrid.
The highly-rated stopper has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford but van Gaal said he was confident the 24-year-old would report on Monday when the club take off for their pre-season tour.
He said: "I think he is a very professional player and he showed fantastic attitude until now."
Manchester United are currently priced 6.00 to win next season's Premier League and 1.25 to secure a top-four finish.
Don't forget, all Premier League matches are covered by the bet365 Euro Soccer Bonus, where you could earn a bonus of up to 100% on your returns on pre-match accumulator bets. T & Cs apply.

Washington, DC
The combination of a growing prison population in the United States and the interest of many employers in finding new sources of low-wage labor has raised important issues about the use of incarcerated workers and the sale of goods and services made by prison industries.
Organized labor nationally and in the states has consistently supported efforts to provide training opportunities for prisoners to help in their rehabilitation and to reduce recidivism, but always with the caution that prisoners should never be used in competition with free labor or to replace free labor.
Increasingly, however, prison labor is being used in both the states and by the federal government to perform work in both the private and public sectors ordinarily done by free workers. Twenty-one states have statutes that compel prisoners to work, and others enforce policies that penalize inmates who refuse to work. Prison laborers are generally denied coverage under minimum wage, unemployment compensation, workers_ compensation, collective bargaining and other worker protection laws.
The use of inmate labor in this manner appears to violate Convention No. 105, adopted by the International Labor Organization in 1957 and ratified by the United States in 1991, which prohibits the use of forced or prison labor for economic development.
The AFL-CIO opposes the widespread use of prison labor throughout the public and private sectors in the United States in unfair competition with free labor. We call on the federal government and the states to end any promotional programs to encourage employers to set up shop in federal or state prisons as an alternative to creating jobs and hiring workers in the general population and in direct, intentional competition with private- sector employers. We further call upon the federal government to vigorously enforce laws and regulations designed to prevent prison work programs that unfairly compete with free labor.

MySpiders: Evolve Your Own Intelligent Web Crawlers
The dynamic nature of the World Wide Web makes it a challenge to find information that is bothrelevant and recent. Intelligent agents can complement the power of searchengines to meet this challenge. We present a Web tool called MySpiders, which implements an evolutionary algorithm managing a population of adaptive crawlers who browse the Web autonomously. Each agent acts as an intelligent client on behalf of the user, driven by a user query and by textual and linkage clues in the crawled pages. Agents autonomously decide which links to follow, which clues to internalize, when to spawn offspring to focus the search near a relevant source, and when to starve. The tool is available to the public as a threaded Java applet. We discuss the development and deployment of such a system.

13th April:
Papeete, Tahiti
Another day, another country – and another timezone! Having said goodbye to San Francisco this morning, we're now on our way to Tahiti in French Polynesia and the capital town of Papeete. It's an eight-hour (ish) flight, courtesy of United Airlines, UA115, and there's another change to our watches. We were -8 hours in SF and we'll be even further behind the UK once we land. Strangely, jet-lag hasn't been an issue so far, we're just waking up earlier. 👍
Paradise Found!
Well, this is the BIG one! Probably the most varied and lengthy holiday we've ever taken!
As you can guess from the title, this 28-day jaunt near and around the Pacific Ocean involves land, air and yes (a lot of) sea! We originally planned to do this one a few years back, but Covid got in the way! But on a positive note, at least we've had plenty of time to pack!
Our Pacific Paradise began by heading to Heathrow by taxi, then taking the Virgin flight to San Francisco where we spent three days exploring the city. Next, it's now back on a plane to take us to Tahiti for two more days. We then pick up the Oceania Regatta for an 18-night cruise exploring French Polynesia (taking in the islands of Bora Bora, Rangiroa and Nuku Hiva) – or maybe NOT.. see below! It's then north towards the Hawaiian Islands. After twenty-six days, we disembark in Los Angeles, where we round it all off with two days in Venice Beach, before flying home to Heathrow, again courtesy of Virgin. Phew! 😁
Oh joy!!! 😟. Just as we hit the pillow last night, we received an email from Oceania, our Cruise Company, announcing that there was a change to our forthcoming itinerary, departing this coming Monday. They've removed TWO of the planned island stops, and replaced it with A SINGLE alternative. We'll get our head around the implications when we're fully awake, but we're not impressed, given the short notice! 🤬🤬
Bye-bye San Francisco – we'll be back! ❣❣. Next stop? Tahiti!!!!
We landed on Thursday evening just after 7pm, local time (Friday, 6am, Kettering Mean Time). The United Airlines flight was 'OK', nothing special but absolutely packed! Screaming sprogs encouraged the liberal use of headphones. Add to that, 'school-dinner' quality food for that all-round 'meh' experience! Oh, and the seats weren't that comfy! Then the TV system broke down for about three hours! 😮. Cue: Mr Grumpy!!!
It was dark when we docked and we were soon queuing with the masses to get through Immigration. It was a very slow affair with just four staff trying to handle about 300 passengers. The temperature outside in Papeete was a glorious 24℃ and inside the Terminal about 124℃! 🥵. C'mon peeps, why no AC????
It took us around another hour to get through the bureaucracy and once we'd retrieved our bags, we joined another queue at the Taxi Rank! Once we'd bagged our wheels, we had an opportunity to practise our O-Level French to get us to our Apartment. It must have translated well, because inside 15 minutes we were at our new home for the next few days.
Our Apartment
…and what an apartment! 👍👍
I think we're going to love it here! 😀👍
Some Facts About Tahiti
Tahiti is the economic, cultural and political centre of French Polynesia, and has been an overseas part of the French Republic since 1880. There are 121 islands across French Polynesia, covering some 1,200 square miles. The capital of French Polynesia, Papeete, is located on the northwest coast of Tahiti and we are spending a few days here. Tahiti was originally settled by Polynesians and today they represent about 70% of the island's population, with the rest made up of Europeans, Chinese and those of mixed heritage. Everything here is very French and this is the main language spoken by all the 190,000 locals. Despite being attached to France, the local currency is not the Euro, but the French Pacific Franc (and it was a real challenge getting hold of the currency before we left the UK!).
Papeete, which means 'basket of water', is an 'un cheval' small town – but busy! Despite the pretty manic local traffic, you soon wander into side streets and boulevards full of tempting French patisseries, Parisian-style pavement cafés and local shops selling the famous Tahitian pearls.
Just time to take a few pictures of the Apartment before we crash out – it's been a long day!
See you tomorrow! 👍👍

Two Students, One Alumna Receive Fulbrights
Two current Haverford students and one recent alumna will spend next year abroad thanks to the Fulbright program. Dan Arnstein '09 has been awarded a Fulbright Scholarship, while Angelina Gomes '09 and Elizabeth Gray '08 have received Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships.
Psychology major Arnstein will explore cognitive neuroscience in Groningen, Holland, specifically focusing on the neural mechanisms of empathy and understanding others' actions, intentions, sensations, and emotions."We're attempting to characterize the activity of human 'mirror neurons,' brain cells which fire both when we perform an action and when we witness the action being performed by someone else," he says."To do so, we will primarily use functional MRI scanning and EEG recordings."
Gomes, a psychology major with a Spanish minor, will teach English in a suburb of Madrid, Spain, called Fuenlabrada. She also plans to volunteer at a medical clinic. Gomes, who studied in Spain during her junior year at Haverford, is happy to have found an opportunity to return to the country."The Fulbright seemed like the perfect chance," she says."It allows me to pursue my interest in working with youths, while having the opportunity to really involve myself in the Spanish community and culture."
Gray will go to Uruguay to work in both a school with an English immersion program and a high school teacher development center. Additionally, she hopes to facilitate language classes for parents as well as English-language book clubs, and plans to take two classes at one of the local universities."As both a student and a teacher, I hope to gain a more nuanced understanding of the Uruguayan educational system, allowing me to relate better with my own students," says Gray, who majored in comparative literature at Haverford.

Ramping up new renewable energy projects in Africa could be revolutionary, promising new investment and an economic boost.
In order to ensure that locals benefit, domestic manufacturing could play a key role but, thus far, it has been largely neglected. Strengthening local supply chains could play a part in creating employment and also tackling challenges in local generation.
Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL), in a report launched in early 2023, said there were "opportunities for strategic partnerships" between Asian and African states.
"However, these manufacturers require a range of pull factors such as local market potential, availability of necessary infrastructure, favourable enabling environment and a strong local supply chain, to be in place before they will consider investment opportunities in Africa," it said.
Demand gap
The report, by Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL), said the energy transition could drive a 6.4% increase in GDP from 2021 to 2050 and create 8-14 million jobs. Furthermore, increasing domestic generation would reduce Africa's need to import fossil fuels.
"If we look at the solar supply chain in Africa it is not set to meet the increases in installed solar PV on the continent," said Rystad Energy senior solar supply chain analyst Marius Mordal Bakke.
"To meet the growing demand from around 4 GWdc this year to a forecasted 10 GWdc in 2025, we have around 800 MWdc of regional module assembly, 550 MWdc of cell manufacturing capacity. And of the early value chain commodities polysilicon and wafer we have respectively around 300 MWdc and 50 MWdc."
As a result, the gap between supply and demand for solar is "significant", Bakke said.
"This means that Africa will be dependent on, most likely, imports of Chinese modules to meet the demand for installation. As there are imbalances present in the value chain, Africa will also be dependent on imports of earlier value chain components to utilise their module and cell manufacturing capacities."
Local content
SE4ALL said China had the greatest potential to drive change. The three African states best positioned to capture some of this manufacturing are Morocco, South Africa and Egypt, the report said.
"It would be good to have manufacturing locally, but it needs funding. When developers are working on new energy projects they will go for the cheapest, which poses challenges for new industry. Too often, the local supply sources are not reliable," Linklaters partner Justin Faye said.
To drive the change, though, it will require further support from governments. Concrete incentives like reduced sales tax on locally produced equipment would be one such step that immediately encourages domestic plans.
"The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative that was launched in the beginning of 2023, which aims to unlock $850 million to advance manufacturing within renewable energy across the continent, could see further increases to the regional PV value chain," said Rystad's Bakke.
Some research suggests the cost of module manufacturing in African countries, compared to China, "implies that at least module assembly is likely to ramp up under the initiative. Looking to other regions that are currently trying to onshore the PV supply chain it is evident that this will take time, and the primary additions are likely to be within the cell and module manufacturing in the coming years."
Zimbabwe imposed a ban on raw lithium exports in December 2022, in order to encourage local processing. The country's lithium currently goes to China and South Africa. Namibia took a similar step in June this year.
Fitch Solutions warned that such steps could create a "serious bottleneck" for industry. In Zimbabwe, it said, "miners will likely be pressured to curb production to minimise operational complications".
Following examples
How to find the right balance for local content, of carrot and stick, is an inevitably contested area, even in more mature sectors such as oil and gas or mining.
"Local content is being developed in many countries in other sectors, such as mining and oil and gas. Nigeria, for instance, has local content requirements that have helped create a strong local industry," said Linklaters' Faye.
"Around the continent, there's more and more focus on local content. These local companies can have a competitive advantage but will need their own sources of reliable power – forcing manufacturers to look at their own energy supply chain."
Another step is to provide certainty for demand. Feed-in tariffs (FiTs) would be one such step, as would setting a timetable for future renewable energy licence rounds – and sticking to them.
South Africa
One country that started in the right direction and then lost momentum, because of a failure to maintain the pace of licensing, is South Africa.
The country looks like a bellwether for this energy transition. The country is largely reliant on coal, accounting for around 80% of power generation. It is also a major employer, with around 90,000 jobs involved in mining and another 50,000 or so at Eskom's coal power plants.
Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe is a key backer of the coal sector, defending it against competition from renewables. Employment plays a major role in his argument.
While new coal-fired power plants are probably impossible, the government is keenly aware of the importance of protecting jobs, particularly given unemployment in the country of around 33%.
Mantashe's ministry published a draft South African Renewable Energy Masterplan (SAREM) in July. The document made much of the employment opportunities presented by renewable energy. The first four independent power producer rounds, focused on renewable energy, created 63,291 job years, the report said. The solar sector in South Africa employs around 20,000 people already, it continued.
The early successes of the renewable energy bid rounds faded, though. Companies had set up shop in South Africa on the basis that the government would continue offering opportunities for new generation.
However, the pipeline of new projects stalled, with SAREM blaming local content rules and grid constraints.
"As a result, market confidence in South Africa's utility-scale public procurement appears too low to underpin industrial and inclusive development on its own," the report said.
The government's steps to relax rules on independent generation have seen a newfound interest in the sector. SAREM found that in 2021, only 86 MW of renewable energy projects were registered. In 2022, this rose to 1.6 GW and, in the first quarter of 2023, companies have registered 2.5 GW.
Battery production
One area of potential growth would be in domesticating production facilities for batteries. A Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) study in 2021 argued producing battery precursors in Congo Kinshasa would be three times cheaper than doing it in the US. It would also result in 30% fewer emissions than manufacturing in China.
A United Nations report suggested other countries that could develop production facilities for batteries included Zambia, South Africa, Morocco, Madagascar and Zimbabwe. Investments in such sites could leverage the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), it said.
The UN report went on to say creating jobs in the clean energy sector required a number of steps. These include integration of technology, industrial policies, education and skills training.
The SE4ALL report said there was insufficient local demand for a gigafactory. However, battery refining in Africa can compete on cost with Chinese facilities. Manganese sulphate costs, for instance, delivered to the European Union from China would be $972 per tonne. From South Africa, these costs fall to $661.
Security of supply
Discussions of supply chains in Africa, and their ability to meet new demand, is focused on employment. However, developers should also bear in mind access to equipment and some of the problems thrown up during COVID-19.
China's policy in response to the pandemic was famously draconian. Domestic lockdowns impaired the ability of manufacturers to export products around the world.
Rystad Energy reported in July the European Union was sitting on an increasing hoard of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. EU importers have become newly concerned around energy security, not least because of the traumatic disruption of gas supplies from Russia.
These two events – the invasion of Ukraine and the pandemic – both have demonstrated the fragility of international trade. Governments and consumers would do well to consider the benefits of local or "friendshoring" a manufacturing base capable of building equipment for the renewable energy sector.
Raising concerns over vulnerability in supply chains, IRENA has reported that China has more than 80% of the manufacturing process for solar panels and 60% of wind turbine manufacturing. More broadly, Asia accounts for 63.6% of jobs in the renewable energy sector.
Linking up
Africa is the next great frontline in the world's energy struggle. Power and energy consumption is incredibly low, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Low carbon emissions, in this case, making modern life impossible – with all the resulting challenges around health, economy and opportunities as a result.
Electrifying Africa in the cleanest way possible would provide benefits in terms of improving people's lives while also creating and enabling new industries.
However, tackling generation is just one of the interconnected problems facing Africa. In addition to insufficient investment in this area, many countries lack the needed grid connections that would link consumers to generation.
Natural resources should make Africa a natural destination for renewable energy investments. This, in turn, can drive low-carbon hydrogen production and a chemicals industry. For now, though, uncertainty about demand restricts the amount of investment available.
There are some positive signs. Earlier this year, Nigeria reported construction had begun on a Chinese-funded solar PV plant, near Abuja. It took 10 years to reach this point from the initial deal, demonstrating some of the challenges in such investments.
Manufacturing to support the renewable energy sector should be an easy win. This would boost domestic economies and should be able to attract development finance initiatives. Support from governments, both in terms of demonstrating demand and assuaging political risk fears, is critical for progress.

LS Fest 2018
Holley LS Fest is a unique event. The obvious thread that ties it all together is the GM Generation III and up V8 engine. Once you've slid one of these powerplants between your fenders, you're welcome here. This yields a staggering variety of vehicles, from stock Corvettes and Camaros to crazy drag cars, rock crawlers, and even Volkswagens. We even saw a twin-turbo Nissan Sentra. Anything goes.
Now take that crazy mash-up of cars and set them all in motion. This isn't an event where you sit in lawn chairs and drink tea. Staged at Beech Bend Raceway Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky, there is a drag strip, autocross course, and miles of curvy roads surrounding the track. These elements conspire to make the static show and shine a relatively small portion of the show. Cars were meant to be driven, right?
Speedway set up shop in vendors row and had a pretty good view of the action all weekend. Here are a few shots that we were able to grab while we weren't talking to customers or rolling around under our own race cars.
The beautiful weekend was only slightly dampened by the rain on Sunday. We made the best of the rainy day by seeking shelter in the National Corvette Museum, which is right up the road from the track. Check it out if you're in the area, there's a ton of Corvette cars and memorabilia that you're not going to find anywhere else.
By the way, what was Speedway's Project Chevelle doing at LS Fest with racing numbers in the windows? Interesting question. Stay tuned and it'll all make sense, we promise.
