Is there any country in the world who has more than one name. For example India has got three names 1. BHARAT 2. HINDUSTAN 3. INDIA

For example until the seventies it was all right to say The Netherlands or Holland when you were talking about the same country.
I am from Finland and the name of our country is "Suomi" in Finnish language. We have own Finnish names for example to next countries:
Germany - Saksa Russia - Venäjä Sweden - Ruotsi Estonia - Viro Denmark - Tanska Poland - Puola

List of alternative country names gives you a complete list - but includes antiquated and unofficial names, as well as those used for official purposes. Countries whose official names in English differ wholly from the official name used by the state's government (that is, with a wholly different derivation) include
Albania (Shqipëria),
Germany (Deutschland),
Greece (Hellas),
Hungary (Magyarország), and
Montenegro (Crna Gora). And (depending on your definition of "country"),
Wales (Cymru).

I think there's a difference between a country that has different names in different languages(every country will have that) and one that has different official names. Let's not forget Burma which according to its government is called Myanmar-and here the choice of name does have some political slant-because the government officially has named it Myanmar,using that name shows some support of them.The UK still uses Burma,implying a tacit non-recognition of the government.

Are there any websites (or other sources of information) that give estimates of the "going rate" for renting or leasing commercial property? In other words, if I were to rent out (or to rent) commercial property, I would not know if the rate were too high or too low or just about right. And I assume there must be some type of "industry standard" for this type of matter. Example: As a general rule, commercial property located in Hartford, CT, should expect to be leased at about $10 per square foot. Or whatever. Something along those lines. There must be some industry standard expectation rates, I would imagine. Does anyone know anything about this ... or can direct me to any good websites or other sources of information? Thanks. ( 64.252.65.146 ( talk) 16:22, 30 June 2010 (UTC))
Perhaps a better way to phrase the above question might be this. Where can I find the going commercial "reasonable rates" (i.e., in percentage terms) of an increase in rent from year to year? In other words ... regardless of the initial base rental price ... rents are generally expected to increase by XX percent per year. Is this type of information readily available on the interent or at any particular websites? Thank you! ( 64.252.65.146 ( talk) 18:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC))

Only around 2% of Wikipedia traffic comes from India & Pakistan, but I've noticed that many/most of the "do my homework for me" posts come from those nations. I speculate that there's a different cultural view on behavior that a Westerner like me considers " cheating", perhaps based on the greater stakes of living in a country with a lesser social safety net, but does anyone happen to have any solid data on this phenomenon? Thanks. -- Sean 19:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Looking for alternative/s to mainstream and Midwifery Today-- Jessica A Bruno ( talk) 19:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)?
Yet to reach this stage of life and etc. I'm just a student of life.
2nd guessing myself now if I should have looked into other media along those lines. To see if there was something more/much more cheaper then resubscribing to here (MTM). At the same time already tried most of the all other media before landing here. Found the other media are good in areas, but lacking in areas. Which I found that MT and MTC are good in areas and not lacking in areas. Still think I should have looked into another media besides here before deciding to resubscribing to MTM. Also, have resubscribed to 2 other meida that I used to get as well. Don't worry they aren't in this subject/s, but other subjects.
Think thats it for now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mybodymyself ( talk • contribs) 19:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

"batteries include circuitry to prevent this by limiting currents". I have to add that original batteries from serious companies which care about their reputation include this circuity. There is no guarantee that any manufactured will include it.-- Mr.K. (talk) 11:49, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
I'm scheduled for an online interview. I live in Kenya and the interview is slated for July 1, 2010 8:30 PM Eastern Standard Time. So in Kenya what time is it.
