Economic History | Qatar | Computations are still based on the Standard International Tariff Code (S.I.T.C.). The S.I.T.C. is divided into ten main categories with single digit codes from 0 to 9, each of which is sub-divided into two-digit codes. (references) |
Qatar | It should be noted that the Qatar Central Bank's computations of the country's balance of payments show large changes from year to year, since their figures for the current and the previous year are usually provisional. (references) | |
Trade | Qatar | It is customary in Qatar for importers to build their L/C's computations on c&f basis, and not c.i.f. While c&f includes cost and freight expenses, Qatari merchants prefer to have insurance coverage provided by local and international insurance companies. (references) |
Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | GNOME, n. In North-European mythology, a dwarfish imp inhabiting the interior parts of the earth and having special custody of mineral treasures. Bjorsen, who died in 1765, says gnomes were common enough in the southern parts of Sweden in his boyhood, and he frequently saw them scampering on the hills in the evening twilight. Ludwig Binkerhoof saw three as recently as 1792, in the Black Forest, and Sneddeker avers that in 1803 they drove a party of miners out of a Silesian mine. Basing our computations upon data supplied by these statements, we find that the gnomes were probably extinct as early as 1764. |
