The lengths of the specimens were used to estimate ...

Governments were so thrown apart by statements like this that people were decried as heretics, beheaded or sent into exile. These scientists went against what was mainstream thinking ...

Preamble

Addressing the trade balance’s nature, it seems worthwhile noting that its indicator reflects the difference between the state’s exports and imports. Talking more scientifically, it is a pecuniary ratio amid the amount of money received for goods and services exported outward a country and the cash paid for imported goods and services. If exports’ money exceeds the currency accepted as exchange for the imported articles, the circumstance stands for external surplus. Otherwise (if market conditions reveal vice versa), the case is generally called as red ink.
