CONT

The balance of payments accounts are compiled using the system of double entry accounting, which calls for a credit and debit entry for each transaction. This means that all debit entries should have, in principle, counterpart credits. However, credits and debits do not balance in practice since the two sides of a transaction cannot be precisely matched with credit and debit entries. For example, the merchandise export data (credit) come from administrative data collected by Revenue Canada-Customs, while the counterpart account receivable (debit) is measured from survey sources.

A tragedy of overgrazing and lack of care which resulted in erosion and falling productivity of the English commons, prior to the enclosure movement when grazing rights became restricted to the few. ...

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Color can dramatically influence the flavor perception of food. Food technologists often use various colored lights in their tasting sessions to mask the color of the foods being taste-paneled so tasters will make their acceptability judgments based on flavor rather than color. One study dramatically illustrates the influence of color on food acceptability ... In this study, panelists were offered a dinner of steak, peas and french fries abnormally colored but served under color-masked conditions. Panelists enjoyed the meals until normal lights were switched on. The appearance of blue steak, red peas and green french fries was so overwhelmingly objectionable to some of the panelists that they became ill.
