In March 1992 a man living in Newtown near Boston Massachusetts received a bill for his as yet unused credit card starting that he owed $0.00. He ignored it and threw it away. In April he received another and threw that one away too. The following month the credit card company sent him a very nasty note stating they were going to cancel his card if he didn’t send them $0.00 by return of post. He called them, talked to them, they said it was a computer error and told him they’d take care of it.

However he got a bill for $0.00 stating that he had 10 days to pay his account or the company would have to take steps to recover the debt.

The next month, giving in, he thought he would play the company at their own game and mailed them a check for $0.00. The computer processed his account and returned a statement to the effect that he now owed the credit card company nothing at all.

A week later, the man’s bank called him asking him what he was doing writing a check for $0.00. After a lengthy explanation the bank replied that the $0.00 check had caused their check processing software to fail.

The bank could not process ANY checks from ANY of their customers that day because the check for $0.00 had caused the computer to crash.

Finally the man, who had wanted to buy his wife a computer for her birthday, bought her a typewriter instead.

George Stephenson
George Stephenson was an English civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives. G.Stephenson was born in Wylam, 9.3 miles (15km) west of Newcastle. His father was a fireman, earning a very low wage, so there was no money for schooling. At the age of 17, Stephenson became an engineman. He realized the value of education and paid to study at night school to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. In1802 he moved to Willington Quay where he worked as a brakeman, made shoes and mended clocks to supplement his income. In 1811 the pumping engine at his work was not working properly and Stephenson offered to fix it. He did so with such success that he was promoted to maintain and repair all the colliery engines. He became an expert in steam-driven machinery.

Stephenson designed his first locomotive in 1814. The locomotive could haul 30 tons of coal up a hill at 4mph (6.4 km/h). The new engines were too heavy to run on wooden rails, and iron rails were in their infancy, with cast iron exhibiting excessive brittleness. Stephenson improved the design of cast-iron rails to reduce breakage and managed to solve the problem caused by the weight of the engine on the primitive rails. The years between 1830-1840 were the busiest in Stephenson life. Many of the first American railroad builders came to Newcastle to learn from Stephenson. But G. Stephenson cannot claim to have invented the locomotive. Richard Trevithick deserves that credit. But Stephenson was the first to suggest the standard gauge, sometimes called “Stephenson gauge” which is now used throughout the world. As a tribute to his life and works, a bronze statue was unveiled at Chesterfield railway station in the town where Stephenson spent the last ten years of his life. G.Stephenson died aged 67, on 12 August 1848 in Chesterfield.

Switzerland, they can use the money they earn to import

Swiss chocolate — or to pay for Kuwaiti oil or a vacation in Hawaii. The basic idea of

international trade and investment is simple: each country produces goods or services that can be

either consumed at home or exported to other countries.

The main difference between domestic trade and international trade is the use of foreign

currencies to pay for the goods and services crossing international borders. Although global trade

is often added up in U.S. dollars, the trading itself involves various currencies. Japanese

videocassette recorder is paid for in German marks in Berlin, and German cars are paid for in

U.S. dollars in Boston. Indian tea, Brazilian coffee, and American films are sold around the

world in currencies as diverse as Turkish liras and Mexican pesos.

Whenever a country imports or exports goods and services, there is a resulting flow of funds:

money returns to the exporting nation, and money flows out of the importing nation. Trade and

investment is a two-way street that, with a minimum of trade barriers, usually makes everyone

better off.

In a interlinked global economy, consumers are given the opportunity to buy the best products at

the best prices. By opening up markets, a government allows its citizens to produce and export

those things they are best at and to import the rest, choosing from whatever the world has to

offer.

Some trade barriers will always exist as long as any two countries have different sets of laws.

However, when a country decides to protect its economy by erecting artificial trade barriers, the

result is often damaging to everyone, including those people whose barriers were meant to

protect.

The Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, spread around the world when the United States

decided to erect trade barriers to protect local producers. As other countries retaliated, trade

plumpered, jobs were lost, and the world entered into a long period of economic decline.
