replies: text: Coming here to try to get a grip on the different parties' positions, I can certainly concur with the statement that "Estonian politics is a bit weird for foreigners". As a newcomer to the subject I would really appreciate if someone with knowledge of Estonian politics expanded the Wikipedia articles on the different parties - especially the Social Democrats and the Centre Party - with more in-depth information about what kind of economic and social policies they stand for in practice, as well as their ideological positions as stated in their programmes and platforms. (I found this article, on the Estonian Institute Estonica information site, rather useful as an introduction. Perhaps it could be used as a source - although I would find more in-depth analysis from the field of policial science very interesting.) Alarm 12:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, can I please ask two questions?
1. I see there is a fixed number of seats for each electoral district.  How are they distributed among the parties? With the D'Hondt method
?
2. Why do those "Russian parties" have such low scores? Do most of the Russian-speakers just vote according to ideology?  Or don't they show up or something? I know that a substantial part of the people in Estonia don't speak Estonian but Russian. I also know that many of those don't have the Estonian nationality but still... I find 1.2% quite low.  Can anyone explain this?
Perhaps some of my questions could improve the article (in an indirect way :) ).
Thank you,

CaughtLBW 15:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: In the development of educational software, an Authoring System is a program that allows a non-programmer to easily create software with programming features.  The programming features are built in but hidden behind buttons and other tools, so the author does not need to know how to program.  Generally Authoring Systems provide lots of graphics, interaction, and other tools educational software needs.
Authoring Systems are related to Authoring Languages.  An Authoring Language is the language that is behind the Authoring System, available for the programmer who is also developing educational software.  This programmer can take advantage of the tools built into the Authoring System (easy graphics placement, color, animations, etc.) and then fine tune the product by accessing the language behind it.  Think in terms of Dreamweaver with HTML behind it, Flash with Java behind it, and you can even do a bit with Power Point, if you get into the code of some of the buttons.  Hypercard was the classic example of an Authoring System, but it is not used anymore, nor is Director, which has been replaced by Flash.
So, no, an Authoring System is not the same thing as a Content Management System, and the two should not be merged.  But this section should defiantly be beefed up.

Talk:Kraal

message: The official Dutch dictionary quotes the following for 
# fraai gevormd stukje glas, hout enz. met een gat erin, ter versiering
# bolrond voorwerpje => oog
# omgebogen rand of verdikking van een dunne metalen plaat
# omsloten ruimte voor vee
# Afrikaans dorp
1-2 equal to bead, and 3 means a round edge on a metal plate.
However, 4 means "enclosed space for lifestock" and 5 "African village".
I looked it up because I knew in Dutch "Kraal" can have meaning 4. The question remains if the Boers got it from Dutch/Flemish, or the otherway around, since the web dict doesn't provide ethymology. For that you need the official dictionary with ethymology (Dikke van Dale)

Category talk:People from Saguenay

message: Why this category? After all, the city of Saguenay only exists since 2002 and its territory covers what used to be Jonquière, Chicoutimi and La Baie (the last one also the result of a merger which did not use the name of its most populous element). It's a somewhat arbitrary partial coverage of the Saguenay region. From a historical and cultural perspective, it should really just be merged with "People_from_Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean_Region", which covers all Bleuets. As of now, many individuals in this category have never lived in the city of Saguenay.--Boffob 15:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  It has been recorded (Richard Hummel and others who worked for Ihagee) that the pre-war Exactas (VP or Standard 127 rollfilm bodies and Kine or 135 small format) were so named for specific export markets but no specific reasons given as to why they thought the spelling important or if it was requested by agents in those markets. Post-war Kine Exactas (135 small format - popularly known these days as "35mm") were for war reparations and the spelling used (using surviving nameplates from the pre-war Kine Exactas) was so these items could be easily tracked or traced - in other words if a Kine Exacta was offered for sale in the West it would be apparent that it had come either from USSR or USA (and yes, war reparation production items, not just cameras and not just from Ihagee, were either shipped to USSR or allowed to be sold to USA and the resulting sale income given to USSR).

Talk:Refusal to deal

message: Material for an article:
*Many states have enacted statutes, based upon the Sherman Act, that allow purely private business manufacturers the right to use their discretion in choosing the parties they want to do business with. Additionally, a manufacturer may discontinue a sales relationship with a customer whenever it chooses, so long as, there is no monopolization, conspiracy or combination of either. Therefore, a manufacturer or distributor of a product may restrict its sales to authorized dealers or provide certain exclusive territories to dealerships. 
*Nevertheless, if a manufacturer or distributor creates an agreement with its customers,  dealers or franchisees that has an anti-competitive purpose or motive or if the agreement may produce the effect of anti-competition, even though there is no actual effect on competition, the State or Federal statutes may be violated. Such agreements are known as  horizontal restraints of trade and are illegal per se. Generally, exclusive independent agreements to deal are valid unless there is a conspiracy agreement refusing to deal or a  group boycott.

No there are not. The Securities Market Practice group tried to come up with one, which is the link at the bottom of the page. However, this is not exhaustive and is used for processing only.

For example a name change is a corporate event and for processing purposes is has an effect on all the paper issued by a firm. however, there is (generally) no material effect to the value of that paper, so the event is often not treated as a corproate action (and often missed, it must be said)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgnewbury (talk • contribs) 18:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
