Seamus Grimes explains the intricacies of Apple's global value chains in Asia, something which even Donald Trump will not be able to change.
DW Economic Journal: Could you summarize your research area and your interest for Apple's global value chain (GVC)?
Prof. Séamus GRIMES: About seven years ago I began to realise that if I was to say anything meaningful about multinational technology companies in regions like Europe, I would need to gain some insight into how these companies had shifted much of their production and assembly activities to China. The other important aspect of this study was to understand how emerging regions like China have become increasingly integrated into global value chains, which can present both opportunities and challenges.
Examining the global value chains of technology companies like Apple presents an opportunity to delve beneath the aggregate trade data which frequently hide quite complex interrelationships between global companies and their many suppliers across national boundaries. Much of China's trade in the ICT sector is of intermediate goods or components which are imported from elsewhere and assembled in China as final products before being exported to other countries or sold in China. Apple is one of many companies that have little choice but to exploit the extensive range of suppliers and contract manufacturers that constitute China's rich ICT ecosystem.
Despite what some have suggested about attracting the manufacturing of Apple products back to the US, what Apple is doing in China would be very difficult to replicate in other regions. Part of the reason is the scale of operations of Apple's main contract manufacturer Foxconn, and also the availability and flexibility of both unskilled and engineering workforces, and the relatively lower cost of operations, particularly as production has moved further inland. Apple is a particularly good example of this phenomenon because despite outsourcing almost all its production to contract manufacturers, it controls its complex supply chain by having its own engineers monitoring each stage of product development. Analysing Apple's supply chain in China also provides an opportunity to evaluate the extent to which China has benefitted from Apple's activities in the country, and how China's own role in the global ICT value chain is evolving.
You said in the introduction of your article (China's evolving role in Apple's GVC) that there are a priori 2 positions regarding the participation of emerging regions in the supply chain: one with a positive view and another one which sees a subservient relationship…, what is your final analysis? What is specific when we are talking about continental China? And what is specific when we are talking about Apple's policy?
The relationship between Apple and China provides us with a microcosm of a fascinating evolution in what could be called a "cat and mouse game" between western technology companies seeking to benefit both from the comparative advantage that China offers as a location for ICT production and testing, and gradually also for innovation, and how Chinese policymakers have been adapting their policies over time to try to ensure that China benefits from this relationship. In addition, while Greater China accounted for almost 25% of Apple's revenue in 2015, the company is becoming concerned about the growing capabilities of local companies like Huawei and Xiaomi and Oppo to displace it in the smartphone market.
Our analysis of Apple's supply chain in China, however, reveals that few Chinese companies are involved with most of the high value components coming from non-Chinese companies and often from suppliers in the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. This is also true of most Chinese smartphone companies, whose revenues are significantly reduced by high royalty payments to these core component suppliers. China's main role, therefore, within the East Asian value chain is that of assembly which is mainly carried out by Taiwanese companies such as Foxconn.
The predominantly low value-added functions carried out in China present a major challenge for policymakers since China's traditional export-oriented model is increasingly under pressure from falling competitiveness. Despite their determination to move China's economy up the value chain, the ongoing dependence on core technologies such as semiconductors from other countries makes this major shift very challenging.
So, while China benefits in many respects from Apple's significant presence, the Beijing government is clearly not happy with the balance in the relationship. Apple brings much of its needed intellectual property from outside China, has the opportunity to exploit China's comparative advantage in assembling its products there, and continues to benefit from a growing market for its products. The Chinese policy approach, however, seeks to ensure that the country continues to benefit from the significant economic activity generated by the company, while giving Apple and other foreign technology companies clear signals that their days of growth in the Chinese market are numbered.
In particular, almost no foreign companies have succeeded in China in the internet sector and many suggest that the main reason is a lack of understanding of the peculiarities of the local market. But, while this sector experiences intense competition, the competition is primarily between Chinese companies as the regulatory environment makes it very difficult for foreign companies to grow in this market. The banning of Apple's iBooks Store and iTunes Movies service in 2016 is an example of how China exerts its influence in this market.
Part of the difficulty faced by foreign internet companies in China is the local requirement to provide government access to user data and the need to control any material that might be politically sensitive. It should also be acknowledged, however, that Chinese regulators are equally tough in controlling the content provided by Chinese internet companies. Thus, despite the wide appreciation in China of the excellence of Apple's products, the potential for Apple to grow its services revenue in the country may be quite restricted. Apple has responded to these setbacks by making a $1 billion VC investment in China's rise-hailing service Didi Chuxing, and also announcing its plans to establish two new R&D centres.
Did you have the opportunity to analyse the modifications of the Apple supply chain between the first iPhones in 2007/2008 and the latest models?
Not really. This is an important question because it touches on the direction in which the value chain is evolving over time. From the many company interviews I have conducted in China in recent years I can say that local companies are improving their capabilities across the board, despite the continued major gaps in core technology areas. From the analysis which my co-author Yutao SUN and I did, it would appear that many foreign supplier companies found it necessary to have a presence in China, although this varied between companies from different countries. Japanese companies seemed to be somewhat more reluctant to locate their supplier subsidiaries in China.
Over, time, however, with such a high volume of ICT production taking place in China, it is inevitable that functions such as R&D will also follow. Many foreign technology companies already have large R&D centres in China to support their growing business in the country. I think it is inevitable, that despite the current situation, with so few Chinese companies directly supplying Apple in China, over time this will change and local companies will acquire the necessary capabilities. It may take a longer period for this to happen in relation to core technology areas such as semiconductors.
In addition to the digital goods there are all the less visible values like the patents and the licences agreements (cf. Apple which asked its suppliers to not pay Qualcomm…). How do you see the trend, which would give more and more importance to business models based on the control of the intellectual property? What are the issues for the global trade or for the commercial trade agreements between Europe and the other regions?
I think there is a lot of shifting ground in this area. The major global technology companies have had huge control over the trajectory of technology development mainly because of their ownership of core technology and patents. This obviously creates enormous barriers to entry for companies in countries like China. But the ground is definitely shifting in many respects. The traditional model was for these global companies to invest hugely in R&D to preserve their dominant position in the market and when necessary acquire innovative competitors.
Qualcomm is a fascinating example in China where it gains more than half its revenue and much of that comes from license fees. But the recent fine of $1bn against Qualcomm for exploiting its monopolistic position in China has been followed by additional severe fines in other countries. Even Apple is currently refusing to pay Qualcomm the high fees demanded. Latecomer countries like China have faced major disadvantages in the race to catch up with IP-rich regions of the world and to some extent they are demanding a rewrite of the rules which preserve the advantages of those countries. China, because of its huge market, may well be the first country in a position to insist on a more balanced approach to intellectual property, which does not continue to Interview with Séamus GRIMES, NUI Galway 171 create obstacles for greater levels of innovation in emerging regions. The quid pro quo of an attractive market may well help to bring about this balance. This is evident in the recent joint ventures established in China between Qualcomm and Intel with local Chinese companies.
What are the other trends you see in the relationship between International trade and the digital goods?
The future as we know is not in the physical devices, but in the potential revenues which services can generate. And alongside these services one can observe in China how the mobile phone is transforming daily life. The WeChat phenomenon in China in many respects points to the future and despite China's many challenges in catching up with developed regions it is a major leader in technology applications.
Some argue that the Chinese government has been very clever in creating a protective market in which its own internet companies can first thrive at home and then move internationally. I'm not convinced that this model will prove to be the most effective in the long run, but China is perhaps the first country that has had the political wherewithal to shape its future global integration. The convergence of these new internet services with China's rapid recent growth creates a dynamic for future change that is difficult to predict. There is little doubt, however, that the current culture of technology entrepreneurship in China which feeds off a huge consumer market impatient for the latest tweak in services will definitely bring about major changes in how we conduct our daily lives.
Whether this ecommerce dynamic which is evolving in China will result in Chinese internet companies like Alibaba and Tencent becoming global companies remains to be seen. For a variety of reasons, the western internet giants have not been successful in China, but it should not be overlooked that China's most successful internet companies have benefitted from considerable foreign investment. It is quite paradoxical that the internet sector, which should, in theory, be the one leading to significant global transactions is one of the most regulated areas of China's economy, resulting in a very controlled form of global integration. And this is happening at a time when there is growing networking between entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and in China.

Canadian classic Sloan performs in Fredericton
Fans packed the Farmers Market floor as Sloan came to the stage | Photo by Ally Buchanan
Juno-award winning rock quartet Sloan played the Boyce Farmers Market on Thursday, Dec. 5, as part of the tour for their newest album 12.
Fans of all age groups packed the Farmers Market floor as Sloan came to the stage - half an hour late. The band started the show with a joking apology.
"Sorry, guys. I couldn't find my glasses," explained vocalist Chris Murphy.
The band played hits off of almost all of their twelve albums, including "Underwhelmed" from their first album Smeared, "Everything You've Done Wrong" from 1996's One Chord to Another, "Other Man" from 2001's Pretty Together and multiple songs off their most recent album 12.
Many fans in the crowd had been listening to Sloan for years. The volume of their constant singing often rivalled that of the performers. Murphy frequently turned the microphone to the audience, allowing them to shout every word to the chorus of popular songs.

Sloan have a laid-back demeanor on stage, informed by their decades of performance experience. The musicians joked around with each other throughout the show, making faces at the audience and laughing about mistakes.
"I've never heard that version of the song. We've only played it 10,000 times," said Murphy after guitarist Patrick Pentland started a song on the wrong key.
Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sloan shared with the audience fond memories of the east coast and Fredericton. The band mentioned recording an album here and have since regularly included the city on their tour schedule.
"We've been through here a million times. We were here a few years ago and played our second album Twice Removed all the way through. Were any of you here?" asked guitarist Jay Ferguson, receiving shouts and cheers from the audience in response.
Towards the end of the show Chris Murphy voiced his appreciation for the venue, posing a riddle to the audience.
"What is sometimes a farmers' market, and sometimes looks like Madison Square Garden?" he asked, referencing the beautiful light work done by the crew.
After playing for an hour and a two-song encore, Sloan wished the crowd a good night and a safe trip home. Pentland raised a glass to the audience, with hands holding beer cans and plastic cups lifting in response.

A quick Core Maths update.
I've gone through all of the graphical aspects that my students need to cover including box plots, cumulative frequency, histograms and stem and leaf diagrams. If I'm honest it was a fairly dry approach making use of lots of GCSE examples and questions. It was difficult to manage having students that hadn't covered the material due to doing foundation tier while others were already comfortable having covered them at higher GCSE. It's certainly an aspect I'll have to talk to other teachers about and get some better ideas/approaches for next time. This is definitely the topic I've found hardest so far as it's felt like there's been a lot of material to cover in a short amount of time and I opted for the 'here's how to do it, now here's some questions'. I would like to teach this through some sort of project really but I was worried that there would be very little practise of the actual skills involved. Anyone, that's one to plan better for revision and next year.
I'm quite excited about teaching the finance aspects as it's definitely one of the main topics that students have taken the course for. It's also a major selling point for parents when I was talking about the course at the sixth form open evening.
It's still very early days and there's a lot to look through and filter out. I've decided to start with looking at payslips (it's very hard to find convincing looking mock ones!) and then move into Tax and National Insurance using the preliminary material that seems consistently used in the AQA course.
I've had a look through and I'm sure there are some useful bits in it (the extensive glossary if nothing else!) but it does seem very text-heavy at first glance. No doubt once I've had more time to look through again, I'll pull out the most useful parts.
I've been teaching since 2001 and in that time, there have been (many) things I've taught but not really understood. There have also been things I've taught but can't actually really do very well (I'm looking at you year 13 pure maths). Usually, I've managed and have had a network of other, experienced (or simply better at maths) teachers to lean on, however finance is definitely an area where I feel a bit like I'm somewhat in the dark. I'm going to go out on speculative limb and suggest that might be the same for many core maths teachers. I'll be honest, I didn't know the difference between AER and APR (I do now and the secret is they're basically the same but ones for saving, ones for borrowing) and I actually am not sure how to do some of the finance questions.
The way I would do it is 100*41.32^(15/365). But I'm guessing different payday loan companies would structure they're repayments in different ways.
By the way, thanks for the blog and sharing your resources. I found them excellent with my groups.
Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased you're finding it useful!


EDITOR'S NOTE: This article marks the apparent return of one of Charlestown's strangest political figures - Tina Jackson, whose 2012 failed attempt to defeat Charlestown's much respected former state Representative Donna Walsh is the stuff of legends.
Despite multiple arrests and convictions for drugs, bad checks and assault, Jackson claims she was just the right person to represent Charlestown. Voters didn't agree.
The House of Representative is set to authorize a study to determine if offshore wind facilities are killing whales and other sea life.
The sponsor of the proposed legislative commission, Rep. Sherry Roberts, R-West Greenwich, sought the study after a juvenile humpback whale washed ashore in Jamestown in June 2017.
The story received international attention after conservative media websites publicized speculation that the Block Island Wind Farm was to blame for the whale's death.
Former commercial fisherman and Republican political candidate Tina Jackson of Charlestown is convinced the five turbines are to blame for killing the whale. She said she warned the community that Deepwater Wind's Block Island Wind Farm would hurt the environment. She has offered no proof.
The death of the Jamestown whale is one in a spike in humpback whale deaths along the Eastern Seaboard that began in January 2016 and continues today.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) fisheries division classifies the deaths of 76 humpback whales as a marine mammal "unusual mortality event."
Vessel strikes appear to be the leading cause of deaths, but only about half of the whales have undergone partial or full necropsies. Most of the deaths, including the Jamestown whale, are classified as "undermined."
Richard Fuka, president of the Rhode Island Fishermen's Alliance, said the study should be done before larger wind facilities are built in the designated offshore wind area between Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The fishing industry in both states is at risk of destruction, he said.
Current studies, Fuka said, are done on the behalf of wind developers and therefore don't present an unbiased view of the problems, such as the limitations on fishing in and around the turbines.
"We know what's happening on top of the water. We don't know what's happening on the bottom of the water," he said.
In April, the National Coalition for Fishing Communities asked Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker to approve no more than 400 megawatts of offshore wind projects in the wind energy area on the outer continental shelf, a prime fishing location.
"A detailed study plan that enjoys broad support among fishing stakeholders is urgently needed," according to a coalition statement.
Last month, Massachusetts approved an 800-megawatt wind facility and Rhode Island was awarded a 400-megawatt project in the federal wind energy area between Block Island and Martha's Vineyard.
Most existing studies, including a 14-part series completed in 2017 by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, have concluded that wind turbines alone don't harm sea life but rather that the pile driving of the structures scares away dolphins and other mammals. The operation of the wind turbines also contributes to the many sources of noise in the ocean that affect sea life, such as ships and sonar.
Jackson claimed that the mainstream studies are vague and confusing and don't refute the risks from the rare metals in the turbines' magnets, which, she said, are worse than nuclear waste.
Wind turbines "are highly detrimental to the environment all the way around," Jackson said.
The House is likely to authorize the study commission next week. The five-member board would have until May 7, 2019 to issue a report.

Chris Weitz previously co-directed, with his brother and collaborator Paul Weitz, the award-winning hit film, About a Boy, also adapting the screenplay from the Nick Hornby novel. The screenplay received an Academy Award® nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as similar nominations from BAFTA, Writers Guild, Chicago Film Critics and Humanitas; the film was named one of the AFI's Movies of the Year and was nominated for the Golden Globe award for Best Comedy, winning Best Studio Comedy Feature at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival.
In 1999, Chris and his brother formed Depth of Field, their Los Angeles-based production company. Their diverse slate of upcoming projects include A Stolen Life, a remake of the Bette Davis classic to be directed by Miguel Arteta (The Good Girl); the feature adaptation of Michael Moorcock's fantasy epic The Elric Saga; the comedies Army Geek and The Last Bachelor Party; and the WWI drama Silent Night.
Weitz's first directorial collaboation with Paul was on American Pie, the phenomenally successful first installment of the Pie franchise, which was followed by American Pie 2 and the final installment, American Wedding, both of which he also executive-produced.
Prior to their screenwriting work on About a Boy, the brothers collaborated on several screenplays, including Antz and Madeline (adapting the popular children's book). Chris also made his acting debut in the Sundance Film Festival hit, Chuck and Buck.
Born in New York, Weitz earned his Bachelors and Masters degrees in English literature at Cambridge University. He went on to work as a journalist for several newspapers in the U.K. and U.S. before starting to work in film.


This Monday will mark 132 years since the first Labor Day, which was celebrated in New York on September 5, 1882. It was not until twelve years later, 1894, that the United States would make Labor Day an official federal holiday.
Labor Day has always been intended to celebrate the American worker, but it was enacted by Congress at the insistence of President Grover Cleveland in response to political pressure resulting from millions of dollars in damages and the loss of thirty lives during an unpopular strike originating in Chicago.

Pretty bad when you make the Puzzle it fails to give you tickets! It's bad enough that they changed the Puzzle Format! UGH!
Thank you SO much for fixing this. Although the jigsaw puzzle has always been one of my favorites, I didn't realize just how much until I couldn't do it. Got my fix today!
format of the puzzle. Please report any and all problems on any and all games you have a problem(s) with!
Go to Help and leave information.
If they get enough complaints maybe we can see results.
The puzzle has been a disappointing mess all week. How annoying and sad for those of us who enjoy working the daily puzzle. Wish the tech people would straighten this out ASAP.
Today's puzzle pieces do not fit very well at all. What a mess! That being said I did manage to complete it and receive my tickets but if this continues it will take all the enjoyment out of doing the puzzles and I will not do them anymore which does not make me happy as it is my favorite!
This reply was modified 10 months, 1 week ago by aussie_1.
Same problem here. I used to love working the puzzle every day!
The puzzle was one of my favorites, until now. This new puzzle format is awful! I really hope this wasn't the plan. Who could possibly think this adjustment to the puzzle was a good idea. Hopefully they will go back to the old format, ugh!
I totally agree. The new puzzle is really bad!!!! I haven't gotten my tickets for a couple of days now.
NEED TO FIX PUZZLE PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT LOADING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This new format is very difficult to work with; I am not doing the puzzles anymore unless they fix this!

A Cleveland man was indicted on drug and firearms charges, U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman said.
A four-count indictment was filed charging Michael L. Young, 34, with use of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute cocaine, being a felon in possession of a firearm and being a felon in possession of ammunition.
Young on Sept. 13, 2017, possessed cocaine, a Kel-Tec .380-caliber pistol and ammunition. Young has numerous prior convictions that prohibit him from having firearms or ammunition, including convictions for felonious assault, drug trafficking, drug possession, and other crimes, according to the indictment.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kelly L. Galvin is prosecuting the case following an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Cleveland Division of Police.

MSF: We Must Address Humanitarian Failings
By Preethi Nallu
Posted in Africa, Near & Middle East, Politics
Pro-Médecins Sans Frontières street art. UK, 2010.
After Médecins Sans Frontières' withdrawal from the World Humanitarian Summit, its U.S. executive director, Jason Cone, warns against conferences that blur the line between state and NGO responsibilities and calls for better humanitarian responses on the ground.
Last year, a sizeable influx of people flooded into Katanga province,tucked away in a remote part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They were not fleeing conflict, but a more pedestrian kind of threat: measles. Although there have been vaccines for the disease since 1963, at least 40,000 people were affected by the outbreak and 500 people died.
International NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, stepped in to help and to document the Katanga outbreak as a "telling example of the challenges for epidemic response" in conflict-riddled regions.
Given MSF's decades-long focus on delivering effective aid during conflicts and emergencies as a building block for long-term stability, its decision earlier this month to drop out of the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul was less surprising than it may have seemed.
Relegating the landmark gathering as a "fig leaf of good intentions" that will do little to meet the immediate needs of the most vulnerable populations, the NGO criticized the international community's failure to set a concrete agenda in Istanbul. In particular – at a time when its own facilities in conflict zones across the globe have been regularly targeted – MSF cried foul at the vague wording of the summit's key documents.
"The core questions around humanitarian failings that we've seen and documented quite extensively, be it Sudanese refugees flowing into South Sudan or the slow response in Central African Republic, are not at the heart of the agenda," said Jason Cone, executive director of MSF USA, during a conversation with News Deeply's Preethi Nallu.
"Very noble ideas of 'doing aid differently' and 'ending need' are good sound bites but they don't really address the fact that the aid system is struggling to meet the most basic needs of people, let alone end the idea of need entirely," he said.
Given the nature of MSF's work as an emergency aid organization, access – including the ability to cross political lines in conflict zones – is at the forefront of the organization's agenda. In the absence of an explicit acknowledgement of these issues in Istanbul, MSF will continue its engagement with the international humanitarian community outside of the summit grounds and external to the gathering's remit.
Last year, MSF became a prime quarry in Syria, hit by the warring groups' squeezing of humanitarian access. At least 63 MSF-supported health facilities were targeted during the year, with 81 medical staff members killed and 12 centers completely destroyed. In February of this year, government airstrikes leveled the al-Quds hospital, an MSF-supported facility in an opposition-held neighborhood of Aleppo, killing upward of 50 civilians.
The broadly worded core principles of the summit, MSF says, will do little to protect doctors and patients in places like Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan.
In this interview with News Deeply, Cone gets to the heart of the challenges in providing effective humanitarian assistance to displaced communities, especially in Syria, and the problems that arise when organizations try to combine humanitarian assistance and broader development into "resilience strategies."
News Deeply: MSF has been involved with organizing the summit for the past 18 months. That is quite an investment of time and resources. What were the pros and cons that you considered in pulling out?
Jason Cone: The pros and cons are whether our participation is in any way going to influence the outcomes. After two years of engagement in this process, participating in particular meetings, engaging with the UN leadership as well as our peers in the NGO community and donor governments and foreign aid agencies, we didn't necessarily see that the most critical issues were at the heart of the agenda – mainly the real dearth of both qualitative and quantitative assistance for people in places like Syria, Yemen, South Sudan and Afghanistan. We see also that there have been shortcomings in terms of responding to epidemics – not just Ebola, but also measles epidemics and even the yellow fever outbreak that started in Angola and other cases imported into countries in Africa.
News Deeply: Could you comment on the deliberate targeting of doctors who are just doing their jobs, especially in Syria? Is this being explicitly addressed at the summit, given that world leaders will be present?
Jason Cone: Last week, we had the UN Security Council unanimously pass the resolution, along with 85 member states, strongly condemning these attacks, calling them for them to be investigated and holding those [perpetrators] accountable. This wasn't a new law. It was a restatement of existing responsibilities that apply to states and nonstate actors.
So following through on this, we need to move from rhetoric to action. We can't have the UN Security Council passing resolution after resolution that doesn't actually change things on the ground. We've seen some of that happen with Syria, at least, particularly on the targeting aspect, with some impact on the cross-border assistance into the areas that have been besieged. But no one can begin to talk about whether assistance is being manipulated, when you have medical supplies pulled off aid convoys going into these areas. States need to do what they are required to do under the laws and resolutions that have been passed over the decades. This needs to be explicitly addressed.
News Deeply: Did you notice the process derail in the lead-up to the Istanbul summit or do you feel that it failed to evolve?
Jason Cone: MSF has seen that there are some dangers in putting the responsibilities of states and nongovernmental organizations on equal par. Speaking from personal experience over the years of watching various multilateral conferences, I think there's always a struggle between the accessibility of civil society, if you will, and the role of states.
So this summit, I think, in the very practical sense of it, is an intergovernmental process where essentially half of the states that are members of the UN are in attendance. This created a somewhat weird setup that has confused both governments and NGOs trying to take part. Who gets to speak? Who gets which platforms? Do we delineate the responsibilities to states, as the secretary-general himself has said, in upholding basic norms?
We also still see very large gaps between the numbers of actors on the ground – for example in Yemen. I think trying to strike a balance between inclusiveness and the agencies that can get things done on the ground remains a critical question.
I also think there are questions about how local organizations can tap into international funding sources. This is more my opinion than established MSF policy per se, but I think aid agencies or NGOs that have come up in places like West Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East should be able to tap into resources to carry out the work, if the work they're doing is good.
News Deeply: Should this summit better address the issues that internally displaced people face, as internal displacement is the first step, before a person flees the country? Perhaps, if people were better aided while inside Syria, they would not flee in such large numbers?
Jason Cone: Absolutely. We viewed the right to enter Syria to provide assistance in opposition-held areas quite differently to the UN, a body that reinforces sovereignty rather than deconstructing it. So we viewed that negotiating with the opposition groups and elements who were in control of areas with the gravest needs was humanitarian action in its core sense.
We obviously try to work with the acceptance of governments and not just the groups that have the control of certain geography. But when we're denied that ability, we'll try and find other means because we think the primacy of the individual needs of the patients is above the sovereign rights of the states that deny aid.
News Deeply: In what way does the summit agenda skirt a realistic discussion of the critical issues?
Jason Cone: We're particularly concerned about the kind of convergence of humanitarian assistance and broader development into so-called "resilience strategies" for aid. We've been pretty consistent in viewing them as separate. Not that they aren't both important in and of themselves, but for instance the need to negotiate with different groups to cross front lines and provide assistance in a conflict setting is very different to the kind of development strategies that lead to the building [reconstruction] of the state.
When you have a civil war situation, the state itself is being contested. So as an aid agency, when you become subject to the policies of the national government, it becomes problematic from an independence and impartiality standpoint that MSF and, I think, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), are seeing. This especially affects accessing populations across multiple front lines in conflicts today.
News Deeply: What are the immediate needs of the displaced that must be addressed?
Jason Cone: These needs are medical care, basic shelter, water, sanitation – and this is not just in areas that are very highly insecure. We see this in places like the Burundian refugee camps in Tanzania, where it's an arguably stable environment and where aid should be able to reach rather quickly, but doesn't. We see some problematic issues with policies around refugees. The E.U.–Turkey deal, for instance, is problematic in terms of how it puts asylum seekers, including Syrian refugees, back into a vulnerable situation.
News Deeply: You mention that even in stable situations the basics are not reaching those in need. Why is this happening? Where is the disconnect? Is it because the UN and state-led agencies are not grasping what is needed?
Jason Cone: There's the question of aid effectiveness and what agencies are actually doing in terms of providing concrete assistance on the ground.
MSF is an organization that largely relies on private funding from the general public. We're a bit removed from public institutional funding that we receive in small amounts. So some agencies will tell you that a lot of it has to do with the funding flows, how the funding is portioned and how aid appeals are financed. If you look at the UN appeals, many would say they are largely underfunded.
But I do think there is another key question: when the funding is there, how effective is the response on the ground? And that gets into the fundamentals of deployment of aid and the quality of staff. There's also has been a sort of subcontracting that occurs between the so-called large international aid agencies and those who actually implement things on the ground. That sort of subsidiary funding also dilutes accountability.
You have agencies like the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) that deploy aid, receive aid and are also donors that award funds to different implementing partners. So you also have structural issues in terms of the multimandate roles that humanitarian agencies play.
News Deeply: How does the politicization of aid impact its effectiveness?
Jason Cone: Aid has always been politicized. Dealing with the political environment is the precondition to being able to reach populations. Negotiating with an opposition group or a government that sees "denial of assistance" as part of their war strategy requires us to engage in politics to a certain degree and to create the necessary tension between those groups in order to get access. But it is also a matter of the independence that aid agencies retain around those choices, for instance, the compromises we have to make to reach populations – for example, pushing back through operational and other strategies in a place like Syria, where you're forced into a situation in the government-controlled areas or opposition-controlled areas.
News Deeply: How will MSF continue to engage with the international humanitarian system?
Jason Cone: We will continue to share our experience on the ground – where we see gaps in the aid response, where the system is failing patients and beneficiaries. We use an evidence-based approach to demonstrating these gaps. But we are also highly engaged with the UN system and our peers in the field. We engage in the U.S. with USAID, for example, and our colleagues in Europe, whether it's DFID [the U.K. government's Department for International Development] or ECHO [the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department] at multiple levels: the field level, capital cities and where MSF sections are present, in Geneva and New York. So this [absence at the summit] is not disengagement. It is an attempt to send a strong signal that we feel that this summit has the potential to miss the mark on the core issues on the ground.
News Deeply: You said you're engaged with the UN. system. What kind of reforms would you like to see within the UN, so it can be a more effective partner to engage with?
Jason Cone: It's not about the engagement. It's about the substantive impact in the field. We've documented countless times very serious lags in response. In Bangui, in the Central African Republic, you had essentially an IDP camp at the airport, and then you had diplomats and others whisking in and out of that country, with incredible deficiency in the amount of assistance provided, even to those populations.
In Yemen, we see the Saudi-backed coalition in many ways has been given effectively carte blanche to bomb, not just hospitals, but also other parts of civilian infrastructure, be it schools, gas stations, things that people need to be able to live. There was – albeit it's been lifted – a serious blockade of Yemen, both in the sea and air, for many months, depriving the entire population of basic needs that could not be met by humanitarian assistance alone.
We want to see substantive change on the ground. We want to see UNICEF doing better. We want to see UNHCR doing better. We want to see delivery on the ground, rather than just solely saying that there are shortcomings in funding.

Working with world-leading audio component manufacturer Classé, B&W has developed a bass management system for the CT800 range whose clarity and power will leave you speechless. In conventional home theatre systems, the very low bass from the front and surround channels is often squeezed into a single subwoofer along with the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.
Contrast this with a CT800 system, where a subwoofer is actively combined with each of the front left and right channels, so that they are truly full range and preserve directional information to the lowest frequencies as intended. In fact you can assign up to 4 subwoofers to any of the front or surround channels. The single LFE channel is then distributed to all the subwoofers, giving a much more natural sensation of space and ambience. Even at very high volumes, the system retains consummate control over its output. All you have to do is hold on to your seat.

As I stated in my festival intro, while Theda Bara may have created a cinematic archetype and inspired an evolution in movie publicity machines with A Fool There Was, her "vamp" character did not break any new thematic ground. In the wake of Bram Stoker's 1897 literary sensation Dracula, the vampire became a popular cultural figure, and the "vamp" was his essence-sapping female offshoot, non-supernatural but just as sexually carnivorous. A Fool There Was actually originated from a hit 1909 Broadway play, itself an expansion of an 1897 Rudyard Kipling poem inspired by a painting called The Vampire.
Theda Bara helped create the screen character of the "vamp" in Frank Powell's 1915 "psychological drama", and while she technically plays a supporting part in the film, she owns the picture from the first time we see her gleefully crushing flower petals in her palm. In fact, the enduring images from A Fool There Was are not of Bara seducing anyone, but of the smile that washes on to her face whenever she bends the will of one of her many male "fools", even when they helplessly try to wring her neck. She takes pleasure in dominating dim-witted males, and laughs "like the devil" when one of her spurned conquests commits suicide in front of her.
Bara's character is referred to as "The Vampire" in the film, even by the daily newspapers, which seems like a libel lawsuit waiting to happen. She is presented as a coal-eyed, alabaster-skinned "other", clad in feathers, flowers, and prints in contrast to the virtuous ladies clothed all in white. It is notable that besides wielding her sexuality like a weapon, the Vampire also hires non-white servants, another sign for 1915 audiences of her withdrawal from polite society.
The Vampire has already left a trail of ruined "fools" in her wake before she gets to John Schuyler (Edward Jose), the middle-aged bureaucrat who becomes the film's protagonist. Her interest in John springs from a perceived slight by his lily-white wife, with Bara casting her seductive powers in an act of revenge, like a witch's curse. When John gets sent to England on a diplomatic mission, The Vampire follows and strikes ("away from America/family" = "away from familiar moral standards"), and within two months he is an idle zombie-primitive completely under her spell.
From there, A Fool There Was follows John as he descends into alcoholism and sloth, abandons his family, and tarnishes his respectable name, while his long-suffering wife struggles to break The Vampire's spell. It is far from a silent masterpiece, and although released the same year as D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, it displays that level of technical and narrative sophistication only a couple of times (most memorably, in a scene involving John shamefully hiding his face from his daughter while they travel side-by-side in moving cars). The intertitles are mostly florid garbage, filled with puffed-up piety ("Innocence breakfasts.") and dim-witted foreshadowing ("Storm and darkness. Is it an omen?").
Any interest in the film is largely due to the myth-making performance of Bara. If you need proof that the bipolar nature of movies was established in its primordial ooze, just realize that John's wife (Mabel Frenyear) is presented as a paragon of moral virtuousness and The Vampire as the embodiment of the sinister "other". Yet the wife character and the actress who played her make no impression and are forgotten to time, while the disgraceful Vampire made Bara an overnight star, and her power still resonates nearly a full century later. The wife was intended to appeal to moral standards, but The Vampire is what actually appealed to ticket buyers, and that appeal endures to this day.
*ABOVE: Clips and stills from Theda Bara's performance as Cleopatra in 1917, which like most of Bara's 40-some movies, does not survive. Over the second half of the video, there is audio from a later-in-life interview with Bara, where she talks about her craft and an imminent comeback in a manner befitting Norma Desmond.
Bara is compelling and she gives a delightfully vicious performance – certainly a predecessor to the femmes fatale that dominated film noir thirty years later. But I would also like to add that Edward Jose, who plays the poor fool who falls under Bara's curse, has a lot of good moments as well, especially in the second half of the film, when he turns into a zombified slave under Bara's curse.
It's not a very good movie, overall, but you make an excellent point about how it is structured around the notion that Bara is actually the appealing woman of the film. Given the choice, of course he'll stay with the sexual animal versus the virginal wife! It's an early example, too, of how easily cinema slipped into and perpetuated Victorian conventions about womanhood. From pretty much the very beginning, women were subject to an irreconcilable double-standard, one that acknowledged the allure of sexuality while declaring purity as the cross a good woman must bear. In "A Fool There Was," the two facets are incompatible, leaving both women incomplete. And isn't that the real tragedy for man?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is how doctors and medical professionals collectively refer to a group of progressive lung diseases that obstruct your airflow and breathing.
And COPD is nothing to sneeze at. With more than 15 million American adults diagnosed with COPD, it's the third most common cause of death after cancer and heart disease. The good news is that if you take a proactive approach and work with your doctor on proper management, most people with COPD are able to control their symptoms and enjoy a good quality of life while also reducing their risks of other serious health problems.
And one of these symptoms that many COPD patients struggle with managing is COPD mucus.
Most of the early symptoms of COPD are initially missed by the person with COPD. Things, like getting tired or experiencing shortness of breath, are easy to attribute to other things, such as a poor night's sleep or the weather.
But as your COPD progresses, so do your symptoms. Many of those early signs of COPD turn into something much more noticeable: A tightness in your chest, and a heavy cough (akin to a smoker's cough) that often includes mucus and even small specs of blood.
Understanding why you're coughing up so much mucus starts with understanding the underlying factors.
In your lungs and airways are mucous glands and goblet cells (the types of cells that are responsible for producing mucus). If you have COPD, you have more of these glands and cells than a healthy person who does not have COPD.
As these glands and cells produce mucus, the mucus triggers coughing because coughing is how your body naturally gets rid of anything that's irritating or blocking your airways.
Unfortunately, if you have COPD, your lungs are not at their strongest. This creates a weak, inefficient cough, which in turn fails to clear your airways, which in turn makes your coughing worse…and the cycle continues.
There are also additional COPD-related issues and conditions that may cause your body to produce extra mucus. This includes smoking (many people with COPD also smoke, as smoking is a high-risk factor for developing COPD) and infections (your health is compromised when you have COPD, leaving you more vulnerable to various bacterial and viral infections).
Not all mucus is the same. When you cough up some mucus, check your bathroom tissue or napkin to see what color the mucus is that you just expelled.
For most people, mucus is gray or clear. If you notice strange colors, such as bright greens or yellows, it may be a sign of an infection (i.e., bronchitis or emphysema). Discuss this with your doctor, who can conduct tests and provide treatments for any infections that may be affecting your lung health and COPD flare-ups.
You should also talk to your doctor if you notice blood, as that may be a more serious sign that something is wrong that your doctor needs to investigate.
The best way to limit discomfort and prevent more serious complications is to efficiently remove mucus from your lungs – without fatiguing your body more than you need to.
Deep coughing. Rather than hack with all your might, cultivate a deep cough by first drawing a deep breath and holding it for a few seconds. When you exhale, use your stomach muscles to help you push all the air out in one smooth, forceful breath to stimulate a deep cough. The deep breath will help open your airways and loosen the mucus, and one powerful exhale will save you the effort and energy of multiple coughs.
Huff coughing. This technique calls for three short, quick exhalations to loosen the mucus. Draw in a moderately deep breath, expel it in three short bursts, and follow with some deep, controlled breathing to get things moving. This should make it easier to cough up the mucus.
You might find that controlled coughing is more effective at certain times of day, like when you first wake up or right after meals, so take advantage of those times to clear your airways. If coughing alone isn't helping enough, try postural drainage: lay down in horizontal or inverted positions to let gravity help clear the mucus from your lungs.
Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids can help keep your mucus thin, and thus easier for you to cough up and expel. You may want to consider herbal teas and warm soups, which may soothe your airways and also loosen the phlegm.
Consider medications. Your doctor may recommend guaifenesin. This medication, which comes in either liquid form or pill form, is a type of expectorant. That means it helps you to cough up and get rid of mucus by thinning the thickness of your mucus. Your doctor may also suggest anticholinergics, which are a group of drugs that may help to reduce how much mucus your body makes.
Change your posture. Maintaining a more upright posture can help your lungs to cough more effectively. When you go to bed, you may also consider using a pillow to elevate your head, which may make coughing easier and may also make breathing easier.
Avoid irritants. Minimize your exposure to anything that could irritate your airways, which triggers both mucus production and coughing. The first and most important thing to avoid is smoke. If you're a smoker, work with a professional to help kick the habit as quickly as possible. You may also want to consider air purifiers and filters to remove allergens, dust, and other airborne irritants. A cool humidifier can also help with air quality while moistening the air to soothe your airways.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Both can dehydrate you, which may lead to thicker mucus that's harder for you to cough out.
Some people produce too much mucus to clear it with coughing, but certain tools will make the task easier.
Flutter valve. Many COPD sufferers use a flutter valve (it goes by the brand name Acapella), a small plastic device that works with your breath to stimulate your lungs. When you breathe into the valve, a small steel ball moves up and down to vibrate your airways and provide some resistance. The idea is to breathe in and out through this valve several times, alternating between regular and slow breaths, until you cultivate a productive cough.
The Vest System. Although learning to work with your breath is important for managing your COPD, tapping the chest can be a powerful way to stimulate the airways. You can use your hands to do this, but you will probably find that The Vest System (or simply, The Vest) is a more effective approach. It features an inflatable lining and a pump to inflate and deflate it very quickly, which puts continuous, gentle pressure on the chest wall to loosen the mucus. It's not invasive, plus it's portable and completely safe for anyone to use.
What's Next for Your COPD Mucus Problems?
Don't let mucus and coughing affect your quality of life and your comfort. Talk to your doctor about the above home-based treatments and create an action plan and strategy to ease your coughing, get rid of COPD mucus, and help you to better manage your symptoms during a COPD flare-up.


Hey, folks. This is just a nice, organized list of my horror movie reviews arranged by year of release (i.e., the earliest release date including film festivals). These are my horror movie reviews including links to our Podcast Discussions.
Hey there, this index is fantastic!! Kind of hard to find, though. If I might make a suggestion, it would be to make this a separate link along with your other links under 'Categories'. Awesome blog though!!
The list has gotten a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot bigger.
Sweet! Gotta check some of these reviews out. May start with The Howling. Nice going!
Glad you're excited about it. This page is better than "Archives" but not as good as a filtered sort. I wish all movie blogs had something like this.
Thanks. It's an ongoing labor of love keeping this somewhat current.


The assembly of these is a bit of a chore, but once you roll one or two, you get into a rhythm. Plus, they look freaking impressive. These traveled well in a picnic at our favorite winery.
Place the shrimp in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add the lime zest and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Heat one Tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and sear on all sides about 3-4 minutes until opaque and cooked throughout. Don't overcook. Remove to a plate to cool.
Prepare vegetables while the shrimp cools. After the shrimp have cooled, slice them in half. This will enable them to lay flatter on the wrapper when rolling.
Place the rice noodles in a bowl with some warm water to soften them. Drain.
Add some warm water to a shallow dish (I used a pie tin), submerge one rice wrapper in the warm water for approximately one minute to soften, being careful not to let the sides fold in. Remove and spread the wrapper out on a cutting board or other flat surface. Place vegetables and parsley and/or cilantro leaves on the bottom third of the wrapper. Add a few of the rice noodles. Place 3 to 4 shrimp, cut side up, above the noodles on the wrapper.
Start rolling the rice paper from the bottom and over the vegetables, tucking as you go. Once you have rolled over the vegetables once, tuck in the sides of the rice wrapper to form a package. Continue folding and tucking all the way, until it resembles a burrito. Cut in half with a sharp knife.

UK Officials Reportedly Planning for 2-Week 'Post-Christmas Lockdown' Over Omicron Variant Concerns
December 18, 2021 Winston Irie
According to UK media reports, ministers will decide over the weekend whether tougher coronavirus restrictions are needed.
By Svetlana Ekimenko for Sputnik News

Winston's Comment – So much for "Plan B"…
The current Plan B introduced to curb the spread of the coronavirus in England following the rapid spread of the Omicron variant includes such measures as COVID health passes for certain events, compulsory face masks in "most public indoor venues", including theatres and cinemas, and people being urged to work from home if they can.
UK ministers are drawing up proposals for a post-Christmas two-week "circuit breaker" lockdown to slow the spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, reported The Times.
Under these measures, England would return to a ban on indoor social contact except for work purposes, while pubs and restaurants would be limited to outdoor service, similar to the rules imposed this April.
The ministers are allegedly acting on advice from scientific advisers, who have warned that measures are urgently needed beyond the currently in place Plan B, According to cited leaked minutes of a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage).
According to Sage experts, modelling indicates that hospital admissions could peak at "at least" 3,000 a day in England unless the restrictions come in before 1 January.
"The timing of such measures is crucial. Delaying until 2022 would greatly reduce the effectiveness of such interventions and make it less likely that these would prevent considerable pressure on health and care settings," the leaked minutes of the meeting are cited as saying.
The measures proposed by scientific advisers hail back to those introduced this spring in Step One and Two of the UK "roadmap out of lockdown". At the time, a ban was installed on both indoor social contact and indoor hospitality.
The current Plan B for dealing with COVID-19 infections this winter involves mandatory introduction of health passes – proof of double-vaccination or a recent negative test – to enter nightclubs, big sports matches and other large events. However, experts reportedly insisted that adhering to just Plan B could result in "at least" 3,000 hospital admissions daily across England. Throughout the past week, admissions have been between 800 and 900 a day.
Introducing a "circuit-breaker" soon "could substantially reduce the peak in hospital admission and infections compared with Plan B alone," according to the report.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who faced the largest Tory rebellion of his tenure in the Commons on 14 December over "Plan B" tougher COVID-19 rules for England, with measures passed by MPs 369 to 126 thanks to Labour support, was allegedly presented on Friday with several options for a so-called Plan C. These range from "mild guidance to nudge people, right through to lockdown," according to the Financial Times.
According to UK media reports, ministers will decide over the weekend whether tougher coronavirus restrictions are needed. Whether or not a joint response to the threat of the Omicron variant is needed across the UK will be considered at a Cobra meeting with the devolved nations over the weekend, according to Downing Street.
In the wake of the reports of a possible "Plan C" in the pipeline, a Treasury spokesperson was cited as saying:
"We recognise how important the festive period is for so many businesses and the government will continue to engage constructively on how it can best provide ongoing support to the businesses and sectors affected."
This comes as on Friday a further 93,045 COVID-19 cases were recorded in the UK – the highest daily total recorded since the pandemic began. Amid concerns over the Omicron strain of the virus, thought to be much more transmissible than Delta, a total of 26.3 million people aged 18 and over half of adults in the UK have now had a COVID-19 booster dose.
United Kingdom Daily Coronavirus (COVID-19) Report · Friday 17th December.

Of the daily figure of cases, 3,201 were of Omicron compared to Thursday's 1,691. This takes the UK's total for the new surging variant to 14,909, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - - The Belmont men's tennis team completed day 3 in the CCB Invitational today, in which they went 1 for 2 in doubles play and 1 for 3 in singles play to conclude the tournament.
In doubles play, Grant Kelly and Dawson Blankinship faced off against Sebastian Rios and Cotter Wilson of Ole Miss. in the final round of their doubles draw. In this match, Kelly/Blankinship could not quite overtake their SEC counterparts and lost the one-set match 8-4.
In the consolation match, Briggs and Faulkner faced off against Fernando Vargas and Giovani Pasini of University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). The sophomore duo was able to defeat the junior pair of UAB by a score of 8-4.
Grant Kelly went to three sets in his consolation match against South Alabama's Nathan Fruh and was able to hold on for the win. Kelly won the first set 6-4, while Fruh grabbed the second set by a score of 7-5. From there, they went to a tiebreaker set, in which Kelly was able to prevail and win by a score of 10-8.
Dawson Blankinship faced off against David Skrabut of in-town rival, Lipscomb, in his consolation match but was unable to come away with the victory, as he was defeated in two sets (6-3, 6-2).
Like Dawson Blankinship, David Faulkner played in a Battle of the Boulevard matchup against Lipscomb's Pedro Uribe but lost to the sophomore in two sets (6-4, 6-3).
The next event for Belmont men's tennis, as well as the last event in the fall, will begin on Wednesday, November 7, as Hendrik Inno and Marko Ilic travel to Surprise, Ariz. to compete in the doubles tournament bracket of the Oracle ITA National Fall Championships.

Q: How to create a rails staging environment in engineyard? I have a production instance in engineyard up and running well. I would like to create a new staging instance for internal testing. I cloned the existing production instance, changed Framework Environment to staging. I can deploy all the code to staging instance from Github. Engineyard reported the server is fully configured and ready.
I have subdomain-fu in my Rails app, as I have some subdomain handling in my app. I set the subdomain initializer like this....
SubdomainFu.tld_sizes = {:development => 1,
                         :test => 0,
                         :production => 1,
                         :staging => 2}

As the production instance is using the domain xxxxx.com, I would like my staging instance use the domain staging.xxxxx.com. But I got an error when open this domain. Seems the app use xxxxx.com as domain but not the staging.xxxxx.com.
I checked the engineyard database.yml. It use xxxxx_production database, I supposed it should be xxxxx_staging.
Seems the engineyard instance is not set to staging environment, but just clone all the setting from production server. Does anyone have experience with this and can show me the way on how to fix it?
Thanks. :)

A: Try
SubdomainFu.configure do |config|
 config.tld_sizes = {:development => 1,
                     :test => 0,
                     :production => 1}
end


Can I edit your invoice template? You may ask. Yes absolutely! All our templates are editable and fillable - although we usually use the term "customize" instead of "edit", but the fact is that our templates are not protected with password. You can freely download and customize / edit the template to make it suitable for your business.
Please also refer to Customizing Invoice Template. And, here also come the templates for you to EDIT!
We also add 3 columns to the original Excel invoice template, i.e. "Consumer Name", "Authorization #Number" and "Service Date". Please refer to General Vendor Invoice Template and Invoicing Guidelines for Vendors for more information on usage and purpose of these fields.
To create Hourly Service Billing Template from c4001 Template with 4 Columns, we moved out the Shipping Address section because this is a service billing template, and then change the column headings from Quantity and Unit Price to Hours and Rate. It is a basic sample on how we customize the invoicing templates here on InvoicingTemplate.com. As long as you follow the guidelines detailed in the Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software) documents, all templates customized in this way will work with Invoice Manager for Excel (namely Uniform Invoice Software) without problem. One last word, however, always protect the Invoice worksheet once you have done your customization. This prevents unexpected modifications to the format and layout of the template.
Designed for electrician and wireman, this free electrician service invoice template differs from any other forms here on InvoicingTemplate.com by using a watermark image that shows a happy electrical engineer working with a screwdriver and a universal meter.
Like c4046 Construction Invoice Template, this template has 4 columns too, namely "Description", "Quantity", "Unit Price" and "Line total". This differs from c1001 Construction Proposal Template and c1005 Construction Contract Template, where there is only 1 column and the total amount is manually editable.
The formula of the "Total" cell includes credit card fee.
Download this free blank legal service invoice template to print beautiful and professional legal service invoices in Excel, or send the PDF invoice to clients with email. The form features a cartoon lawyer image on top-left of the sheet.
As described 10 Invoicing & Payment Terms You Need To Know, "when you have clear, specific, and consistent payment terms you can increase the chances of getting your invoice paid-on-time". That's why almost all templates available here on InvoicingTemplate.com has the "Payment Term" field placed on top of the detail section.
The 3 lines of "Job Location" fields are now defined as custom fields. The fields are added to the "Invoice Header" database table. See How to use custom field to learn more.
The idea to remove the "Taxable" boxes is that for many business entities either all the invoiced items are taxable, or all are not taxable (or tax-exempt). In such situation showing the "Taxable" boxes on the printable form is not necessary and redundant, as the boxes occupy editable Description space on the form. With the removal of the "Taxable" options, we also modify the Excel formula assigned to the fields that calculates taxes. So in this version, taxes are calculated based "oknSubtotal", but not "oknLineTotalTaxable".
A default value is the value assigned to a field or cell. The value of the cell must be changeable / editable, but if it is not changed or edited, the default value appears on invoice and save to database.
This trash Removal Invoice sample is based on c4070 Labor Invoice. As the original design, it is a service invoice template. While in the original format the columns are titled as "Hours" and "Rate", this redesigned template has the columns titled as "QTY" and "PRICE". The Excel formulas that calculate the line totals remain the same. It looks like the sample given below.
This invoice template has 11 columns on the invoice detail section (invoice body) that allow you to itemize the sizes of clothes sold out. Clothing stores and manufacturers could use this template for creating professional invoices.
Step 2: Open the voucher template as usual, switch to design mode by clicking the "Design Mode" button on the "Invoice" worksheet.
Adding a new column is a bit complex than just moving cells. With the previous generation of Invoice Manager for Excel, which is named Excel Invoice Manager, you have to use Database Designer to add new fields to the Invoice Body database definition file and database table (and the field with the same name to the Product table, if you wish to fill the cell automatically when a product / service item is picked up), and then name the cells based on the database field name.


The only problem with Chesterton's essays is that there are too many of them. Over five thousand! For most GKC readers it is not even possible to know where to start or how to begin to approach them.
So three of the world's leading authorities on Chesterton, Dale Ahlquist, Joseph Pearce, and Aidan Mackey, have joined together to select the "best" Chesterton essays, a collection that will be appreciated by both the newcomer and the seasoned student of this great 20th century man of letters.
In Defense of Sanity is stocked with a variety of topics: barbarians, architects, mystics, ghosts, fireworks, rain, juries, gargoyles and much more. Plus a look at Shakespeare, Dickens, Jane Austen, George MacDonald, T.S. Eliot, and the Bible. All in that inimitable, formidable but always quotable style of GKC. Even more astounding than the variety is the continuity of Chesterton's thought that ties everything together. A veritable feast for the mind and heart.
In a world that is increasingly going totally insane, this book is a real breath of fresh air and sunshine. If GKC was anything, he was one of the most "balanced" men of modern times, and balance is a key to many things, especially in times like ours just now. His subjects herein are varied (not exactly a surprise, since he connects everything to everything else, much like Einstein's Theory of Relativity), deeply perceived and very easily and pleasantly described in a most palatable way. One simply cannot read him without being edified, touched by Truth and humbled before God.
I guess you could say I recommend this book very highly.
