Generals Zero Hour Quotes
Stanisha Kunselman
"There can be no effective climate policy without the peace ... There are still many for whom climate change is just rhetoric or marketing ... but not real action ... They are the ones who start wars of aggression when the planet cannot afford a single gunshot because it needs global joint action."
"The climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security, national security, and the very life of the planet ... It's more urgent than ever that we double down on our climate commitments. Russia's war only enhances the urgency of the need to transition the world off its dependence on fossil fuels."
"Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator."
"I'm here today to say that Brazil is ready to come back ... There is no climate security for the world without a protected Amazon. We will spare no efforts to have zero deforestation and the degradation of our biomes by 2030."
"The dystopia has already come to our doorstep ... The political advances we make here will have very little meaning on the ground unless there is a transfer of resources that shifts the needle on how people face the future."
The Global Risks Report 2023 ranked failure to mitigate climate change as one of the most severe threats in the next two years, while climate- and nature- related risks lead the rankings by severity over the long term.
"When nations such as Pakistan undergo the kind of profound shock they've just gone through, when small island nations in the Caribbean every year worry about in 12 hours losing a third or more of their GDP ... you have created an economically impossible scenario."
"Everybody was flexible for the cause of loss and damage and the disasters and people dying and the economy being lost. I thank all the parties ... who were not flexible initially but who were flexible now."
"We must see the so-called 'dash for gas' for what it really is: a dash down a bridge to nowhere, leaving the countries of the world facing climate chaos and billions in stranded assets, especially here in Africa. We have to move beyond the era of fossil fuel colonialism."
"We are, in fact, climate negative. But despite this, we are highly climate vulnerable ... Promises made must be kept. Therefore, on behalf of all children and the next generation, we urgently call on historic emitters to do their part to safeguard our world. My country is doing our part with the limited resources and capacity."
"Climate security goes hand in hand with energy security. Putin's abhorrent war in Ukraine and rising energy prices across the world are not a reason to go slow on climate change. They are a reason to act faster."
"It is up to the G20 countries responsible for 80% of global emissions that we are beholden to for our survival. Our survival is being held to ransom at the cost of profit and an unwillingness to act despite the ability to do so."
General Motors is committed to an all-electric, zero-emissions future. Electric vehicle (EVs) are a key part of this vision, and there are common misconceptions about costs, charging needs and at-home charging stations.
FACT: Switching to an EV becomes more cost efficient over time. Under the hood, EVs are different than internal combustion vehicles and require less maintenance, as there are fewer moving parts that need to be regularly inspected or changed, such as belts and engine oil. Compared with an average new vehicle of the same size, the EPA estimates that the Bolt EV could save an owner about $70 per month in fuel costs.
To save more money, Bolt EV owners can use Programmable Charging, including Electric Rate Preference, to start and end their charging session during off-peak hours when power is less expensive. General Motors is working with utilities to simplify the use of its smart charging functionality, saving customers energy and money by optimizing charging to occur when it is best for the electrical grid.
Putting a tab before all values before putting double quotes around them DOES prevent conversions to dates AND DOES prevent trimming of leading or trailing zeroes and the sheet does not even show nasty warning markers in the upper left corner of each cell.
Double clicking the csv file can open the file as a spreadsheet in Excel showing all values that are treated as just above, like text data.Make sure to set Excel to use the '.' as the decimal point and not the ',' or every line of the csv file will end up as one text in the first cell of each row.Apparently Microsoft thinks that CSV means "Not the decimal point" Separated Value.
I am using Excel 2010. Incidentally, Google Sheets will not open/convert a file formatted this way. It will work if you remove the equal sign thus "VALUE", - Excel will still open the file but ignore the fact that you want your columns to be strings.
You can create a service contract either manually or from a service contract quote. You can use a service contract quote as a forerunner of a service contract, in which your company makes an offer to the customer and obtains customer approval before you can convert it to a service contract. The procedures for creating either a service contract or service contract quote are similar.
When a customer has accepted a service contract quote, you convert it to a service contract. At the same time, you can create a service invoice for the starting period of the contract if the starting date of the contract is before the beginning of the next invoice period.
After you complete the following steps, a service contract is created with the status Signed. If a service invoice is created for the starting period of the contract, the invoiced amount is calculated in the following way, depending on whether the contract is detailed or not.
You can use a contract service credit memo when a customer cancels a prepaid service contract or removes a service item from a prepaid contract. You can also use it to correct an erroneous service invoice.
The Invoicing FastTab shows information copied from the Customer card. If you want to post the credit memo to a different customer than the one specified on the General FastTab, enter the number of that customer in the Bill-to Customer No. field.
You can compare the credit memo to the original posted document on the Posted Service Invoices page. Choose the icon, enter Posted Service Invoices, and then choose the related link.
On the credit memo lines, enter information about the items that have been returned or removed, or the allowance that will be sent. You can also use the Get Prepaid Contract Entries batch job.
To automatically create a credit memo when contract lines are removed from a service contract, on the Service Contract page, on the Invoice Details FastTab, select the Automatic Credit Memos check box.
Sometimes you have to change the terms of a contract after it has been created. In most cases, you open the relevant contract on the Service Contract page, and change it as necessary.
You can change the status of the contract, initially set to Locked, add and remove contract lines, and cancel a contract. If you want to see how your business is doing as measured by gain and loss, you can do quick business analysis using the contract trendscape feature.
When a customer purchases a new item and wants to include it in the existing service contract or contract quote, you can register the item as a service item and then add it as a new contract line to the contract or contract quote.
You may need to remove contract lines from the service contract as you remove corresponding service items from the service contract. Usually you remove a contract line that is expired or corresponds to the service item that has broken down.
If the contract is not detailed, you must update the value in the Annual Amount field on the Invoice Details FastTab on the Service Contract page, reflecting the loss of the service item from the contract.
If the contract is detailed and prepaid, and you have posted invoices for the contract, you can create a credit memo for the contract. Choose the Create Credit Memo action. This is unnecessary if the check box in the Automatic Credit Memos field on the Invoice Details FastTab is selected. In that case, a credit memo is created automatically when you remove a contract line.
You can add contract discounts on services for contract quotes and service contracts. The discounts can be on spare parts in particular service item groups, on resource hours for resources in particular resource groups, and on particular service costs.
You may need to change the owner of a service contract. If a service item in a service contract is registered in noncanceled multiple contracts owned by the same customer, then the owner of all service contracts that include this service item and of all other service items included in these contracts is updated automatically.
For example, suppose service item No. 8 is included in contracts SC00003 and SC00015. Contract SC00015 also contains service item No. 15, which is also included in the contract SC00080. In this case, the owner for all three contracts and service items will be changed.
If you work with prepaid service contracts, you must regularly post prepaid contract entries, thereby transferring the prepaid payments from the prepaid contract accounts to the regular contract accounts.
After the service contract is signed, the Change Status field value is automatically set to Locked. If you want to modify information in the service contract or service contract quote, first you have to change the status of the contract or contract quote from Locked to Open. Note that you cannot create service invoices for the service contract with the Open change status. After the contract or contract quote is modified, you have to change the status back to Locked to make it possible to create service invoices and ledger entries for the service contract, which includes the changes that you made to it.
