tsunami in 2011, it resulted in the Fukushima plant going off the grid,
leading to blackouts in Tokyo which is in the East. However, it could
not import electricity from the West as Japan does not have a

1883 got its Alternating Current generators from the Germany
company X, which produced electricity at Europe’s 50 Hz whereas the

The use that these two phrases have in the present day
take their origins from bookkeeping in accounting. In
keeping the accounts, two different pens were used with
one being used for keeping accounts on the Debit side and

that it was easier to know what shape the accounts were
in when the entries were closed, and the use of separate
pens also denoted that.
