Silverlight is a Microsoft plugin that runs in your browser. This makes it possible to easily display animations, video or audio in a browser. Besides Windows and MacOs, there is also a Linux version available (Moonlight). Microsoft Silverlight includes a portion of the .net Framework and is written in C++ and C#. If it is a replacement of Flash, then why use Silverlight? Silverlight is based on a subset of XAML that makes it easy to create pages (Notepad is basically sufficient). Because it uses XML it would also be easier for search engines to be indexable.

E-numbers are additives (excipients) authorised by the European Union for use in consumer products. However, it is a global system and also contains substances for animal nutrition. If the auxiliary substance is authorised in the EU, the letter E is added to it. The important point is that substances which are no longer allowed are still kept the E.
The use of a number of additives (e.g. preservatives) is often justified on the basis of food safety. However, things like dyes and flavor enhancers are more (unconscious) wishes of the consumer who expects something in some way looks or tastes. The e-numbers are divided into certain categories.

A bestseller is actually a translation from English: Best sold. It is a name for a book that sells exceptionally well within a certain period (often in the first period of edition). It's hard to say what the numbers are. A Harry Potter or Dan Brown books sells more than a poet bundle. But this poet bundle can also be used as a bestselling book. It also happens that a book has been a long time old, but that certain events cause people to suddenly get interested in the book and thus still have a bestseller born.
