  Overhang seat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Overhang seats can arise in elections under mixed member proportional (MMP), when a party is entitled to fewer seats as a result of party votes than it has won constituencies.
If a party is entitled to ten seats, but wins only seven constituencies, it will be awarded three extra seats, bringing it up to its required number.
In many countries, overhang seats are rare — a party that is able to win constituency seats is generally able to win a significant portion of the party vote as well.

 Underhang seat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Underhang seats can arise in elections under any list electoral system, when a party is entitled to more seats according to party votes than it has put candiates forward for.
For example, if a party wins enough votes for ten seats, but only have seven people nominated on its list, then there is an underhang of three seats.
Parties with underhangs usually have to have less representation within the legislature.

 Proportional representation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In practice this usually involves ensuring that political parties in parliament or legislative assemblies receive a number of seats (approximately) proportional to the percentage of vote they received.
Each party is allocated seats in proportion to the number of votes, using the ranking order on its list.
For the second count, if a candidate wins election his surplus (votes in excess of the quota) is transferred to his voters' second choices; otherwise, the least popular candidate is eliminated and his votes redistributed according to the second preference shown on them.

 Talk:Additional Member System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is another quirk in the New Zealand system, the number of seats that are allocated proportionally can be less than 120, if some of the constituency seats have been won by people who were independent or effectively independent (their party didn't stand a list).
This is all academic (so far) because we have never had an independent elected, and never had an overhang, although it's conceivable that the Maori Party may overhang at the election next year.
It is known as an underhang, and probably deserves its own page, indeed I'll start one up at underhang seat.

The illustration above is a cross section of a radiused steel valve seat insert showing typical issues where the insert transitions into the port wall, and where the top of the insert transitions to the chamber roof.
An underhang and a sharp edge where the seat cutting tool cut into the aluminum pocket wall are shown on the short side radius of this exhaust port.
For a radiused valve seat insert, it would appear that minor transition "issues" produce negligable-to-none reductions in flow capacity except for the exhaust port short side radius.

This can be done in order to discourage extremist parties - that are likely to be small - and to make majorities and coalitions easier to achieve.
In party-list proportional representation systems, an election threshold is a clause that stipulates that a party must receive a minimum percentage of votes, either nationally or within a particular district, to get any seats in the parliament.
The PR system was devised in the early 20th century, and was first used in European democracies such as the German Weimar Republic.

Certain of the interlocking elements integral with the lid may typically project downwardly to progressively underhang the primary flange structure, as the lid slides forwardly toward closing position; and such certain elements may project forwardly beneath the plane of the lid, at opposite sides and opposite ends thereof.
It is another object to provide flange structure which defines vertical through openings to downwardly pass a first group of such certain interlocking elements during forward sliding of the lid.
Additional locking elements are provided at 62 and 63 on the downwardly extending flange 64 at the rearward end of the lid, to project forwardly and move into position closely underhanging the lower edge 65 of rear flange section 19a on the receptacle, as the lid closes.

 PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Some proportional systems deliberately limit the amount of proportionality by requiring a party list to achieve the election_threshold - a certain minimum percentage of votes to receive any seats.
This is a system where each candidate who gets a minimum proportion of the votes (such as 5% of the total votes available) is allowed a seat.
However, when a representative votes on an issue on behalf of his constituents, his (or her) vote is weighted based on the percentage of citizens (s)he represents.

Renowned for its agility, the XR250R is perhaps the world's most nimble full-size off-road bike -- its precise steering ideally suited to Canada's tight, bumpy trails.
Its forward weight bias, low seat height and, especially, the tractable power delivery mean the XR250R frequently outperforms supposedly more powerful two-strokes when the trail gets really tough.
And many of the same traits that make the XR250R such a capable competition mount (low C of G, light weight and predictable power delivery) also make it a suitable bike for less experienced riders.

Then, aside from those who choose not to bother with toilet-paper at all, there are, in the first instance, those who don't hang their roll, but rather place it somewhere, typically axially vertically to guard against rolling.
Whilst this may be a suitable compromise between the overhangers and the underhangers, there is always the danger that the roll will topple off its perch and end up in the bath or the toilet bowl, or worse, out of the room and into the office.
