One world trade center

One world trade center has 94 floors according to List of tallest buildings and 104 according to List of tallest buildings and structures. Why do they differ and which is correct? -- SGBailey (talk) 07:06, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

This site,[1] for what it's worth, says there are 94 actual floors but that the height is 104 "standard floors", whatever that mean. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 07:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

The article lede states "The building has 94 stories, with the top floor numbered 104" though it says later "the 94th floor was numbered "floor 100", because the extra space was occupied by the high-ceilinged 91st floor, which was used for mechanical purposes".--Shantavira|^{feed me} 08:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Stock exchange market

If a stock exchange market visitor makes a public offering but no one buys shareholding in the company (the seller expected 10 buyers but not even 1 came), what then?

I would assume that after some time celling the public offering will be closed/deleted but still ask. 49.230.60.189 (talk) 11:30, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Is there a reason you have specified “a stock exchange member”? Under US rules, membership is unrelated to a public offering.DOR (HK) (talk) 12:33, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

User:DOR (HK) Not really, I have just learned that in the Israeli Bursa in Tel Aviv membership is required but I I removed that word from there because I basically meant "anyone who is not prevented from make a public offering".

As our article Public offering states, regulations vary according to jurisdiction.  --Lambiam 14:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay, but is there a plausible scenario about what would become of a stock, in that case?

The disappointed seller will withdraw the public offering. No existing shares change hands, and no new shares are issued.  --Lambiam 01:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

Research around parent teacher conferences held virtually

I am trying to find any articles or research showing increased participation or satisfaction by participants when conferences are held virtually. All I can find is a small study from 2010 in Turkey. I have searched some of the commercial article databases but nothing seems relevant I have a reference question (talk) 15:35, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
