The war of words between NetSuite CEO Zach Nelson and his arch rivals at German software house SAP is one of the IT industry's long-running executive soap operas. But it took a mystical turn at last week's Cloud Business Summit when Nelson was asked for his predictions for the year ahead.
"One thing I predict that will happen this year is that SAP will take its Business ByDesign total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator," he told BusinessCloud9.com editor Stuart Lauchlan on the afternoon of 30 November.
Two days later, SAP's TCO calculator was gone, with the following message from the developer: "We are disappointed to see this tool, which was intended to provide customers transparency into all aspects of ownership costs for on demand solut...

BARCELONA (Reuters) - New Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde believes more is to come from Lionel Messi as he spoke of his excitement at working closely with the Argentine, whom he called the best player he has ever seen.
Messi finished top scorer in Europe's top five leagues last season with 37 strikes in La Liga and produced a vintage performance as he helped fire Barca to a 3-1 victory over Alaves in the King's Cup final last Saturday.
Outgoing coach Luis Enrique spoke of his gratitude after that game of being able to enjoy Messi at the peak of his powers and Valverde also heaped praise on the five times world player of the year in his official unveiling as Barca coach.
"I still haven't met him but I feel very lucky and it will be a unique experience, he's the best player I've ever seen on a football pitch," Valverde told a news conference on Thursday.
"Whenever it looks like he has reached his peak the next day he surprises you even more. I hope I can help him in any way possible and that I'll enjoy the experience."
Valverde, who is nicknamed "the ant" and is a respected photographer in his spare time, joins Barca after six seasons in charge of Athletic Bilbao, where he was the longest serving manager. He has also coached Barca's city rivals Espanyol in addition to Olympiakos Piraeus, Valencia and Villarreal.
He said he had not yet devised a plan on how to get the best out of Messi, who assumed a deeper role on the pitch in the last campaign, often dipping into midfield, yet still hit 54 goals in all competitions.
"He's decisive in whichever position he plays, although seeing him from the inside will be different from the outside. I've never trained a player of his quality. He will set the tone of our play, in a positive way," added Valverde, 53.
Messi's contract with Barca expires next year, although Valverde said he had been told the club's directors were confident the Argentine will agree a new bumper, long term deal in the coming months.
"I'm not worried about it, the information I have is that everyone is optimistic about it," he said.
Speaking in a calm, relaxed tone and giving long answers in a presentation that lasted just under an hour, Valverde looks set to operate in a more conciliatory way than his predecessor Enrique.
Valverde, who played for the club between 1988 and 1990 under coach Johan Cruyff, was close to being named Barca coach in the past and said he was ready for the constant demands and pressure of the job he has just taken on.
"The media focus here is non-stop, everything has an impact at Barca, every small question is made into a big one. I know that coaches are blamed for every defeat, I know what I have exposed myself to," he added.
"Barcelona needed a coach, they thought about me, and here I am. I didn't have to think too much about it."

AUSTRALIAN actress Teresa Palmer has been cast opposite Edgar Ramirez and former Home and Awaystar Luke Bracey in the upcoming Point Break reboot.
Palmer, who proved her action credentials with a scene-stealing performance as a kick-arse alien in I Am Number Four, is to play Bracey's love interest.
The movie will retain the original story of an FBI agent infiltrating a ring of criminals but will be set in the world of extreme sports.
POINT BLANK REMAKE: Why Gerard Butler pulled out of project
TERESA PALMER: The "lowest point" of my life
Ramirez (Zero Dark Thirty, The Bourne Ultimatum) will replace Gerard Butler as Bodhi, the role made famous by Patrick Swayze in the original 1991 film. The Gods of Egypt star pulled out last month due to scheduling conflicts.
The film has been scheduled for an August, 2015, release.
Palmer recently shot the crime thriller Kill Me Three Times, directed by Kriv Stenders (Red Dog) in Perth and Western Australia with Simon Pegg, Sullivan Stapleton, Alice Braga and Luke Hemsworth.
According to Variety, the 28-year-old actor is about to start work on the John Hillcoat crime drama Triple Nine with Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
The Warm Bodies star and husband Mark Webber announced the birth of their son, Bodhi Rain Palmer, in February this year. It is not known whether he was named after the Swayze character.

[Interview] Park Shin Hye Talks Having Good Luck with Men, 'Pinocchio' and More
Park Shin Hye truly has a pure looking face. With flawless skin and clear-cut features, everyone who meets her in person says she has a 'pretty face.' It's a face that looks graceful.
But despite having a graceful face, Park Shin Hye has a very cheerful personality. Watching the actress who is full of aegyo and laughter, it only makes sense why Park Shin Hye was chosen as the lead actress in numerous projects.
She recently added another to her filmography. It is SBS' Pinochio, which ended on January 15. In Pinochio, Park Shin Hye acted as Choi In Ha who suffers from the made-up disorder called 'Pinocchio Syndrome,' which makes her hiccup each time she lies. Acting as the reporter, Park Shin Hye showed fantastic chemistry with her costar Lee Jong Suk as well as her secret admirer Seo Bum Jo (Kim Young Kwang).
From the 'rising star' Lee Jong Suk to Kim Young Kwang, Park Shin Hye received love from such fabulous men. As the envy of all the female viewers, Park Shin Hye spilled on having lived as Choi In Ha for the past several months.
- The drama is over. How does it feel?
▶ It still doesn't feel real. I still feel like the drama will air on Wednesday and that the oppas will be there if I go to the set. More than anything, we were close to all the staff members. I can't believe that it's already over.
- Pinocchio was successful in terms of both quality and popularity. What is your secret?
▶ Things that are currently happening coincide with the situations in the drama. I think the viewers sympathized with the situations of looking for the one responsible or media manipulation in terms of various accidents, including the fire accident. When things that might happen in real life were made into a drama, it brought out great sympathy from people. I think that's what they found to be interesting.
- You acted as a reporter. Does it feel different now when you read articles about yourself?
▶ There are so many people who write good articles about me. But there were times when the things that I said were conveyed differently than what I really meant. I felt bad when that happened but I thought that I should speak clearly in order to not confuse them. I thought that I should choose my words carefully.
- Park Shin Hye seems to be an actress who has a lot of good luck when it comes to men. What do you think?
▶ I agree, hahaha. I really had a lot. It was luck. I just think the timing worked out well. Good scenarios came to me and it really was a blessing. On top of that, I acted alongside rising stars such as Lee Min Ho, Kim Woo Bin, Kim Young Kwang, Lee Jong Suk and more. I'm actually worried about my next project. (smile)
- You had great chemistry with Lee Jong Suk in Pinochio. You had a deep kiss scene in the final episode.
▶ The drama has many kiss scenes and although I feel embarrassed about them now, I didn't have any thoughts when I was filming them. I was busy discussing which angle would look the best with the PD or deciding what to do with my hands with Lee Jong Suk. I was embarrassed when I was filming the kiss scene in front of the udon restaurant because there were so many people watching.
- All the drama you have appeared have been earning good scores. Do you have your own standard on selecting projects?
▶ First, I choose the project that I feel most confident about. After I read the entire scenario, I think about what I can show through the project before I make the decision. This drama showed the life of a character who took her first step into the real world, which was similar to my situation as a 26 year old. I think that's why it matched well.
- Wasn't it hard to act out hiccupping?
▶ It said 'hiccup' in between the lines. I just had to memorize them, so it wasn't that hard.
- Is there anything you learned or developed through this project?
▶ The emotional details got better compared to the time I did The Heirs. Many people praised me saying that my eyes have changed compared to that time. They also tell me that I look less childish. (laughter) I feel like I got rid of the 'Candy character' and people tell me that they didn't know Park Shin Hye had such a cheerful side. I feel like I've gained a lot of things.
- What are your goals as an actress?
▶ I would like to be an actress who can turn people's steps. Anyone can watch the drama but a film has to turn people's steps to the movie theatre, where it is played. I think I lack the energy to lead the audience because I haven't acted in many films. I would like to work harder, learn and challenge myself to I have become an actress that can draw people's attention.

Kazakhstani Association of preschool organizations proposes to introduce specific requirements for non-standard kindergartens
At the site of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan "Atameken" was held a round table on the problems of private preschool institutions. One of the main items is sanitary rules and norms.
Director of the branch of the Kazakhstani Association of preschool institutions (KAPI) in Taldykorgan Marzhan Akhmedzhanova is sure that Kazakhstani sanitary rules do not meet the requirements of time and atypical private kindergartens, which are opened in the houses of cottage type, and on the ground floors of residential buildings.
It should be noted that the question of amending the sanitary rules was raised repeatedly. The following additions and changes to sanitary rules were introduced: the conceptual term "low-power building, adapted premises", the groups are formed from September this year to September of the following year; children missing for 3 or more days are accepted after examination by the health worker; regime of pre-school organization is developed and agreed with the parent committee and approved by the head of a pre-school organization; eliminate regulations for staffing of groups at preschool institutions, foresee occupancy of preschool institutions at 20% over the design capacity; to include standards for square of a building and economic territory of the site, the equipment requirements for the design of construction, reconstruction, repair, commissioning, water supply, etc .; for pre-school institutions with an incomplete day to provide homemade food in containers, and for a full day to enter into a contract with the catering company.
However, according to the profile association, even those not yet adopted rules will not solve all the problems of pre-school organizations. "KAPI proposes to consider the experience of neighboring countries, in this case Russia, which is delimited sanitary rules and outlined them in three versions: 1) for the typical objects of pre-school education; 2) for pre-school education institutions located in buildings adapted for kindergartens; 3) for the pre-school education, on the ground floor of residential buildings", - she said.
The head of the education department of Astana Kasymhan Sengazyev cited the following statistics: 70-75 children are born in Astana each day, in turn, 80-90 children stand in a queue for a place in kindergarten each day. "This is a very good figure. If we won't hear the problems that private kindergartens voice, then we will not solve 100 per cent coverage of children within preschool education by 2020", - he said.
"We recently organized a competition for public-private partnership, 10 projects were proposed by the existing standard rules, only 6 of them played. The other four were not interesting for business: they are very expensive, there are between 500 million to 1 billion tenge. This business is not profitable. There are many buildings that are empty. We must to rethink it, to review the types of sanitary standards, so that they are favorable to business. That is, they (the areas for kindergartens) must be cheap, there should be no unnecessary square, then the business will work. So far it is unprofitable for business to invest a billion and to build", - said Sengazyev.
The head of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Committee on Consumer Protection of the Ministry of National Economy of Kazakhstan Maral Rakhimzhanova also voiced her point of view. "The government now sets the task to ensure the conditions of the children in the 25 square meters ensure eat, sleep and play. And then there arises a question: why children often get sick? Yes, because we have no separate bedrooms. Earlier by technological chain while a child was asleep, the seating area was aired; when a child was playing – a bedroom was aired. (...) In these 25 squares there is furniture: cabinets for toys, utensils (because in the same room they have dinner), there is bedroom furniture in the same place and dining tables, which afterwards turn into drawing tables, then the room is transformed into a dance room. Further reductions – will it benefit anyone?"- wondered the representative of SES.
According to her, today the condition for the presence of a pool in the kindergarten was excluded, space, land plots requirements were eliminated. "Today there is no norm that children's organization must have at least few squares of a territory that has to be planted. We excluded this provision. I understand the problem of Astana - just to hand over the child. 8:00, while mum and dad work, and he has no one to sit with, let him be in any circumstances? I would not call these conditions healthy because a child sleeps and eats in one room", - she said.
Deputy Director of the Department of Small and Medium Business of NCE RK "Atameken" Irina Tyugina urged colleagues to mutual understanding. "Please, hear our colleagues," - she turned to Rakhimzhanova. "They want to divide Ssanitary rules. Let's take into account the realities of today. And they are such that there are are very few exemplary kindergartens. Business does not want to build kindergartens. Legislation was adopted for small business, but a year has passed, and no garden was opened by PPP. It means it is uninteresting, unreal. We say that we need to adapt to the current conditions. Mothers, who need to put a child at least somewhere, must have the right of choice: either into a model garden, or for less money - in the adapted garden, or in a very cheap small kindergarten in the apartment, where there are only 5 children. You must sit down with the Association and think about how to resolve this issue. Because specialized kindergartens will not cover the need for pre-school organizations", - concluded Tyugina.

The Tell-Tale Art of Tal R
Though the Danish Artist's Technique Has Evolved, His Work Expresses a Continuing Narrative
In a Copenhagen studio cluttered with clay sculptures, endless jars of vibrant pigments, brushes, crayons, pencils and pastels, half-finished canvases and hundreds of art books, the artist Tal R stands in front of a small pot full of rabbit glue. He picks it up and gives the gelatinous substance a stir.
Dressed in jeans, a plaid shirt and an orange corduroy baseball cap with a small "H"—for Hermès—embroidered above the brim, Tal R is boyish-looking despite his gray-specked stubble. Earnest and soft-spoken but...

Chappelle Was Right: Prince Was Secretly a Jock
It's time to assemble a stronger crew.
Most Popular
Eleven years after Dave Chappelle first put the idea into our heads that Prince was not to be messed with on the basketball court, new evidence has surfaced that Prince did, in fact, play high school ball. Libor Jany, a reporter at the Minneapolis newspaper The Star Tribune, tweeted two photos from his publication's archives asserting Prince's athletic prowess.

So yes, Prince is better at that than you too.

HD on main page[edit]
Congratulations!!!: I read it on the talk page but I had not have time until today to give you a note: The first time I had an article on the main page was an incredible sensation. Nevertheless be prepared to be that day full time online reverting vandalism :-). I will also try to keep an eye on the article. We did a fine job, didn't we? Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 09:44, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
We have an incredible section on history, however it may be getting too long. It also seems that you are digging into sources for this section these days. Have you thought of creating an specific subarticle and summarizing the section?: Right now it seems that with 6 long paragraphs and increasing it might be a good idea. What do you think?
On the other hand I was not sure if I answered your mail on the main page day (I was really messed up in real life those days). I suppose that it had to be an honor to receive a mail praising our work directly from Anita Harding and several HD organizations. What did you feel when you entered that day wikipedia and saw your work in the main page?
Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 17:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Garrondo - I had that feeling earlier that day, I've had a heap of helpful suggestions/corrections from Alice Wexler, I thought the most poignant bit was that there wasn't much evidence prior to vessie/davenport etc. promotion of the idea, about HD being linked to witchcraft etc, so thought I'd better dig a bit deeper - those papers were used as a reference a lot by researchers getting a brief overview of the past so the idea has had more resonance than was due! I am getting hold of a couple of books relevent to the history to sign, seal and deliver the most accurate version so might have to expand further. I do wonder though whether much of this material belongs in Huntington's disease clinical research - could be expanded with its own history section.. what do you reckon?
- No worries sorted it out - life is messy ! Goes to show how much appreciation there is out there that we don't normally hear of - most meat space people still haven't grasped the effort us editors put in - or the fact that editors exist and they could contribute themselves... it was very satisfying, but I did seem to spend most of my day trying to explain to meatspace the importance of all this. Ho-hum one day we'll all get medals! Not much vandalism to the article and a host of other editors looking after it so went to a haitian benefit gig in near Falmouth, got separated from my friends on the outskirts of a town I didn't know with no phone or numbers in my head to try and find my way back to a small village which I knew had a 'p' and an 'oo' in its name within 10 miles! Found several clubs and pubs and no locals could help but my description of the brdge in the village centre rung a bell for the taxi-driver guru of the area, two major missions in one day - beauty! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 14:46, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would rather prefer a history subarticle than have a history subsection in the clinical research article: Most probably those interested in history of science are not the same than those interested in clinical research.
- Yep we are in accordance - a history section of its own. If it looks like a good idea we could have a section related to its history in the clinical research article ( just a short summary with link to main history article ). Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 12:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Huntington's disease page is non-proprietory[edit]
You appear to believe that you have proprietorial rights in the page's content. You don't. You say that you moved the radio program link "to specialized subarticle". So where is that? You also appear to have an unfounded faith in the Open Directory Project. The ODP is a joke - it is out of date and uncontrolled. To send people off there when what they want is relevant information is a cruel trick. What exactly is your problem with listing national organisations in the page? I know that Wikipedia is not for lists per se but there are plenty of them where they are relevant and if the lists get too big to handle on a main article page, well hey we can put the list on a separate page eg Old Harrovians. If you want to have a be a proprietor of a page on the web why not apply to be come the editor of the HD page on ODP - it suits people of a bureaucratic disposition. Silent Billy (talk) 00:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, take a chill pill! To answer your questions:
- re:proprietory : I don't - I even worked on WP:OWN a while back
- re:location of link : At the start of Huntington's_disease#Society_and_culture is a pointer to List of Huntington's disease media depictions, as you see it was building up quite a list
- re : listing national organizations: Check out the HD talk page ( it might be archived now ), the IHA lists over 40 country specific organisations and there are plenty more .. we can't possibly cover these fairly in the external links ( which should strictly be to pages with more information about the subject than related organisations). Like I said the HDA is linked to in the article itself, the IHA is listed as a reference.
- re: ODP. Please check it out before casting judgement, the links to HDA and the Australian HDA are in the first five links on the page, the IHA is listed further down. I was editor of it for a bit, but it didn't suit me ;)
- I hope that helps, please be a little more civil in future! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 14:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Alcoholism and comma's[edit]
Hey Lee, just to let you know I have finished all of the major points raised in the GA review. The only remaining issue is punctuation issues, mentioned in the GA review in a couple of sections. Are you any good with commas? I am okish, I passed my English exams but not with flying colours lol and with it being a GA nomination would rather someone with better English skills do the finishing touches. If you could do that for me when you have the time it would be much appreciated. No hurry, I know you are busy. :)--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 18:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- spooky... I was just perusing the GA review and did have those fixups in mind, great work LG on all the other bits! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 18:45, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- Two great minds think alike. ;) Thanks, and thank you for persuing the remaining issues. It will be nice to see the article reach GA status.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 17:43, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Have you seen the medicine project talk page? HD is one of the articles that it is going to be externally evaluated by experts... That is great news but also a high responsibility, don't you think? Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 07:50, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- That's great, and a really exciting project altogether. They seem to have selected a selection of articles of all grades, so HD is one of the FA examples and from a cursory read seems the aim is to see how they can improve them. Bring on evaluation - and improvement I say... thanks for pointing this out garrondo! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 22:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well: both are great... I think I will add it to her talk page. :-). I am right now reviewing consistency on HTT and Huntingtin. We should be proud again... Reviewer agrees that article is great.--Garrondo (talk) 12:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Ah yes proud indeed! really pleased she came up with some improvements too! Note : I made a comment whilst you were editing - I'm still not completely convinced on the naming conventions, but we should definitely get to the bottom of it, and find the suitable guide/s to put the definition - in order to save others from this fate ;)

Hello, I was talking about you behind your back (all nice things of course. :) I was wondering if you are interested in being nominated for adminship?--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 22:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- I overheard the conversation - thanks for your confidence, I am considering it - all that talk about RFA looks intimidating, but along the lines of be bold and others beleiving the rfa process should be less harsh I would be happy to see if there is any flak! I fair few things on my real life - and wiki to do lists so have some catching up to do. Seems a possibility but have to think more and await reply as to what there is to do as admin .. I am quite happy editing content - there's more than enough to do , but if we need a few more admins to perform menial maintenance tasks that shouldn't require too much extra brain juice! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 12:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
To respond to your question, I think adminship is useful but I have personally strayed wide and far - my temperament does not allow Wikiwarring, and I now use my admin tools sparingly. That said, it would be very helpful with basic gruntwork such as undoing a controversial move. JFW | T@lk 20:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
To add to what Jfdwolff has already said, I don't think that you have too much to worry about on RfA. Reading over your talk page, and checking your block log, it looks like you have a "clean bill of health"; there is not much for the community to say against you. The only difficultish bit for you I think will probably be how you respond to questions posed by the community. There may be a couple of other people running for admin from Wiki Med, so if you are "on the fence" as to whether or not you run, you could wait until they have run before deciding if you would like to run.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 22:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks guys, I'll have to look into it a bit more methinks after I've caught up with current todos - whilst keeping an eye out for situations that admin tools would be useful... Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 23:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Yeap... I'll try GA some day, but it is still far from it... Maybe in a few months. I am going section by section in it. Right now I am improving the history section. If you want to help you can fix the l-dopa and levodopa issue. The prognosis, epidemiology and society sections are in very bad state, so if you want to search for some high quality sources and even begin rewritting them it would also be of great help... You can choose... :-) I have been alone in the article for 3 months so some company would be fun. Bests. --Garrondo (talk) 18:27, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- Just for curiosity: take a look to what I found a year ago and compare it with the article now... I am quite proud even if theres is still a lot of work to do...--Garrondo (talk) 18:31, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
RE: blast from the past[edit]
Hey Lee, I'm still around in a very much reduced capacity. I don't have much of an excuse to be so inactive given I've nothing to do until September so I might start collaborating a bit more on articles soon. As for the featured topics project, very few people really stepped up to the task (which is fair enough because it is some task making featured topics!). You're welcome to mark it as historical if you wish, especially if our numbers have dropped low enough to make the task unattainable. It might be worth marking it as 'inactive' rather than historical, as I would very much like to return to the idea of featured topics if we get the consensus to do so. Poliomyelitis got pretty far down the line, it'd be a shame if we didn't finish it off at some point!

Was that a criticism? I'm unsure. Tony (talk) 12:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, now I notice your edit-summary. Thank you very much! A few people have expressed concern that we don't put all of the featured pics in a gallery at the bottom. Then others have said it's fine without. Hmm ... my only concern is that people may not know they have to hit "nom" to see each pic at reasonable size, rather than the huge, slow-to-download images you get from the first-positioned links for each.

Hi :: the WP About page lead[edit]
Hi Lee, I didn't understand exactly what your edit comment on the About page "– if its not it doesn't need to be avoided" refered to. Trev M ~ 15:15, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oops, that is a head spinner like that! A crucial word got lost due to touchpad tussles! It was meant to say 'if its not there - it doesn't need to be avoided' , i.e. user will only see recent misinfo that hasn't been removed! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 17:55, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification... I needed a while to try to work out if there was anything else encoded in that sentence that your shortening took out with it, but I think I agree. Apropo the rest of the lead section, and discussions in the general Lead section talk page, if the lead is so long that the Contents box is off the bottom of the first reasonable resolution uncluttered screen, then the lead section is not doing what it's there for: to give a compact overview of the page before providing the reader with the opportunity to scan for specifics. I'm quite astonished, considering the profile the page has up there in the sidebar, and the 3000 odd watchers it has, that it is neither more refined nor more titchy about changes!

Huntington's disease[edit]
I notice you reverted an anon on the basis that "glutamate is different to glutamine", which is true of course. However, glutamine is the amino acid that the Huntingdin gene repeats code for and which does the damage. I'm not sure whether glutamate is involved at all. The reference immediately following this part of the article [1] talks about glutamine but not glutamate. It looks to me that the anon is correct, although I am not an expert in the area. If you do change it back, you might like to look at the mention of glutamate in the following paragraph as well.-gadfium 18:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease[edit]
Hi... How are things going? You made a few comments on the Parkinson's disease FAC. I tried to address your comments with best or worst luck. It would be great if you could give your opinion on them, make further comments and/or say if you believe that the article fullfills the FA criteria.
- That's all right - my comments are really suggestions for a second opinion and not solid comments, have been inundated recently to help as much as I wished...! Lee∴V (talk • contribs) 14:09, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
On the other hand a few weeks ago I took a look at the Huntington's disease article and the pathophisiology section has been growing over time since it became a FA. Most probably it would be a good idea to do some trimming over inconsistencies and mid-quality references; and also create a sub-article and summarize the section in the main article. Had you notice it? What do you think? --Garrondo (talk) 07:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yes have let a few edits slip to see how they panned out, and once its a little quieter plan a revisit and spring clean of the HD article, there's been a fair few developments since the lancet article was published which I need to look at again!

Prevalence of HD[edit]
Greetings and thank you for your work on the great HD page. I think the HD prevalence content just posted by our lab would satisfy some of your need for "Epidemiology global statistics and map of prevalence" noted in the Huntington disease Discussion page To-do list. As much work was done to assemble this information and references for a recent paper we want to make this available through Wikipedia on the Huntington's disease page so that the community can use this and ideally, keep it up to date. If you agree, how do you recommend we proceed? Is there a way to translate this large table to a form that is editable and compatible with the existing HD page? Deferring to your experience here and keen to get this information out there. We do have permission to use the map figure according to EJHG's rules: "According to the clause 2d of the License to Publish, it states authors retain the right to reproduce figures in other works created by them. All that is required is an acknowledgment of the journal and Nature Publishing Group." Best, SButland (talk) 18:47, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Issue I - May 2012
Hi, and welcome to the first issue of the Help Project newsletter! This is a new monthly initiative to keep project members and the wider community informed about our work to improve Wikipedia's help pages. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter.
I've initially sent this to all existing members of the project, if you don't wish to receive the newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. Conversely if you've just stumbled on this newsletter (perhaps through talk page stalking) and want to receive it in future then please feel free to sign up!

Issue II - June 2012
Hello from the Help Project, and welcome to the second issue of our newsletter!
The biggest project I've been working on this month has been a large survey of users to find out what they think of our current help pages. Preliminary results from this are now available, although there are more responses trickling in from the lower edit count groups since a batch of email invitations were recently sent out. Finalised results and further analysis should be posted next week.

The Help Project Newsletter
Issue III - August 2012
Welcome to the (slightly delayed) third issue of the Help Project newsletter.
The past month has once again been a busy one for my fellowship. The full results and conclusions from the extensive user survey on help pages are now available, and make interesting reading. These do confirm a number of our suspicions about Wikipedia help, and suggest that the current plan for the remainder of the fellowship is a sound approach.
Also last month I was fortunate enough to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC, where I gave a presentation about help pages and the aforementioned survey results. You can find the slides from this on Commons. Wikimania was also a great opportunity for many discussions with staff and community members, and these brought up some interesting ideas which I hope to follow up on.
One of the things much discussed was the planned tutorial pages. I've been working on a new design for them which can be seen at User:The wub/sandbox/1, please let me know what you think (especially if you spot any bugs!).

The Help Project Newsletter
Issue IV - September 2012
Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter.
It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article.
Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon.
In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist.
I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter.

Issue V - January 2013
Hello again from the Help Project!
In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already.
Another important and frequently used help page, Wikipedia:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages.
In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Wikipedia:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch.

To respond to your point, yes. The tables will be fine, as well as a one-sentence lead addition since it's just a general comment.

Open Help Conference
The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation.
It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help.
There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on.

Medical Translation Newsletter[edit]
This is the first of a series of newsletters for Wikiproject Medicine's Translation Task Force. Our goal is to make all the medical knowledge on Wikipedia available to the world, in the language of your choice.note: you will not receive future editions of this newsletter unless you *sign up*; you received this version because you identify as a member of WikiProject Medicine
Spotlight - Simplified article translation
Wikiproject Medicine started translating simplified articles in February 2014. We now have 45 simplified articles ready for translation, of which the first on African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness has been translated into 46 out of ~100 languages. This list does not include the 33 additional articles that are available in both full and simple versions.
Our goal is to eventually translate 1,000 simplified articles. This includes:
- WHO's list of Essential Medicines[2]
- Neglected tropical diseases[3]
- Key diseases for medical subspecialties like: oncology, emergency medicine (list), anatomy, internal medicine, surgery, etc.
We are looking for subject area leads to both create articles and recruit further editors. We need people with basic medical knowledge who are willing to help out. This includes to write, translate and especially integrate medical articles.
What's happening?
- IEG grant
I've (CFCF) taken on the role of community organizer for this project, and will be working with this until December. The goals and timeline can be found here, and are focused on getting the project on a firm footing and to enable me to work near full-time over the summer, and part-time during the rest of the year. This means I will be available for questions and ideas, and you can best reach me by mail or on my talk page.
- Wikimania 2014
For those going to London in a month's time (or those already nearby) there will be at least one event for all medical editors, on Thursday August 7th. See the event page, which also summarizes medicine-related presentations in the main conference. Please pass the word on to your local medical editors.
- Integration progress
There has previously been some resistance against translation into certain languages with strong Wikipedia presence, such as Dutch, Polish, and Swedish.
What was found is that thre is hardly any negative opinion about the the project itself; and any such critique has focused on the ways that articles have being integrated. For an article to be usefully translated into a target-Wiki it needs to be properly Wiki-linked, carry proper citations and use the formatting of the chosen target language as well as being properly proof-read. Certain large Wikis such as the Polish and Dutch Wikis have strong traditions of medical content, with their own editorial system, own templates and different ideas about what constitutes a good medical article. For example, there are not MEDRS (Polish,German,Romanian,Persian) guidelines present on other Wikis, and some Wikis have a stronger background of country-specific content.
- Swedish
Translation into Swedish has been difficult in part because of the amount of free, high quality sources out there already: patient info, for professionals. The same can be said for English, but has really given us all the more reason to try and create an unbiased and free encyclopedia of medical content. We want Wikipedia to act as an alternative to commercial sources, and preferably a really good one at that.
Through extensive collaborative work and by respecting links and Sweden specific content the last unintegrated Swedish translation went live in May.
- Dutch
Dutch translation carries with it special difficulties, in part due to the premises in which the Dutch Wikipedia is built upon. There is great respect for what previous editors have created, and deleting or replacing old content can be frowned upon. In spite of this there are success stories: Anafylaxie.
- Polish
Translation and integration into Polish also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The Polish Wikipedia has long been independent and works very hard to create high quality contentfor Polish audience. Previous translation trouble has lead to use of unique templates with unique formatting, not least among citations. Add to this that the Polish Wikipedia does not allow template redirects and a large body of work is required for each article.
(This is somewhat alleviated by a commissioned Template bot - to be released). - List of articles for integration
- Arabic
The Arabic Wikipedia community has been informed of the efforts to integrate content through both the general talk-page as well as through one of the major Arabic Wikipedia facebook-groups: مجتمع ويكيبيديا العربي, something that has been heralded with great enthusiasm.
- Integration guides
Integration is the next step after any translation. Despite this it is by no means trivial, and it comes with its own hardships and challenges. Previously each new integrator has needed to dive into the fray with little help from previous integrations. Therefore we are creating guides for specific Wikis that make integration simple and straightforward, with guides for specific languages, and for integrating on small Wikis.
Instructions on how to integrate an article may be found here [4]

Fantasy portraiture is my favourite subject. Bringing an original character to life is exciting, but can be difficult to achieve. To avoid mistakes and save time I try to follow a few rules. But they're really just guidelines, so feel free to adapt, change and test other techniques that might better suit your painting process.
The most important thing to bear in mind is to take your time. This is the best advice I can give, because nothing good comes from rushing a painting.
There's more to portraits than knowing . It's worth spending time and effort trying to understand how a face 'works', such as under a particular lighting setup. Such a skill won't be grasped overnight. Spend time experimenting with several techniques, and don't be afraid to fail. I've learned – and still learn – a lot more when I struggle on a painting, and when I'm stuck (on a mouth or nose, for example), I don't hesitate to redo everything… and have a coffee break!
The main challenge in a portrait painting is to make the character stand out. Usually there's no surrounding decor in the environment to help you achieve this goal, and a finished, polished portrait can often end up looking flat and boring. Thankfully, there are several simple and effective ways to achieve a striking portrait that will be remembered.
01. Preparatory sketch
Before starting an illustration, I always do some quick pencil drawings to lay down my ideas. This helps me to see more clearly what I want to do and express, and be more confident about the direction I want to take. I use these sketches to build the composition, reworking them slightly in Photoshop CC if necessary. Usually I like to keep them rough, because this gives me more freedom during the colouring process. I feel restricted by perfectly clean line-art.
02. Proportions of the head and face
It's important to be aware of the proportions of a human face. Of course, they're only guides – everyone has a different face shape that doesn't necessarily meet the beauty standard – but it's essential to know these rules, if you're going to play by them and break them. I recommend practising with facial proportions, until it almost becomes instinctual to apply them to a portrait piece. I always start with a basic oval and then slowly add the facial features, steadily building up the character's face.
03. Ensure your colour scheme is harmonious
Usually the biggest mistake in a portrait painting is the skin's colour: it's never either beige or black. Skin comprises a multitude of colours, from pale blue around the eye, pink, to hints of yellow for the mouth's corners. I start painting with very few colours, and progressively add more hues. I save my colour palette in a corner of the illustration so that they're always on hand. To avoid a muddy look, I avoid using pure black or white. Instead, I increase the saturation to the colour I using for the shadows.
04. Develop a dynamic composition
The composition and placement of the character in the illustration is essential for introducing dynamism to the painting. I always try to imply a slight torso movement, which avoids a straight and boring posture. Placing the character's face in the centre is a classic approach and works well, but I also like to nudge the character towards a corner of the image to add a little originality, and free up space in the scene. I find that slightly tilting the character's head helps to add visual interest and life to an image.
05. Working the background
The background can also help give more impact to the portrait. I don't like to overload it with details, preferring instead to leave it relatively plain to avoid any unnecessary visual distractions. I usually add subtle texture and a gradient to avoid a flat, lifeless look. Another alternative is to add blurred elements, such as a forest or a building, to give the character context and hint at their story.
06. Introduce realistic details
Small details such as veins or beauty dots won't be immediately apparent, but will give the last touches of texture and realism to portraits. These can also tell a story: for example, exposed veins can be useful for depicting a vampire or a person who's ill. I generally use the same brush to create these details: a very fine brush that allows for precise work. I slightly blur the brushstrokes' extremities, to unify and soften the details.
07. Emphasise key facial elements
It's easy to get lost in the details, even in an intimate portrait piece. To avoid this and save time I don't detail the entire illustration, instead only working up the areas that I want to draw attention to. For a portrait the most obvious area are the eyes, but depending on the lighting and the story I want to tell I can add a second focal point, usually a key costume element.
08. Eye contact
Even in the busiest of compositions, a face will always catch the viewer's attention. And to make the face even more powerful and striking, ensuring strong eye contact remains the most effective trick. The viewer is instantly connected with the character. It's an effect that I use a lot in my portraits… perhaps a little too much! But I also love to play with more subtle glances, which are less direct and help to develop a sense of mystery, raising questions in the viewer's mind.
09. Paint appealing lips
Lips are an important facial feature. They draw attention as much as the eyes do, and help the character to express emotion. To get them right it's just a matter of texture. Lips aren't a flat, plain element: I paint the little wrinkles with a very thin brush, which gives them texture and a lot of volume. Indeed, volume is the key to bring life to the lips, so I always add some intense dots of light to make them more realistic and attract even more attention.
10. Take the profile approach
Developing a character's profile is tricky because there's no eye contact to play with and only half of the face to show. I use light and contrast to compensate for the lack of interaction with the character, and enhance the costume design to hold the viewer's attention. Here, the figure's hair does almost everything: it defines her head shape and contrasts well with the bright, empty background.
11. Captivating eyes
The eyes are usually the main part of a portrait, and are my favourite element. They can look sad, sparkling, mysterious or dangerous… and done well, can bring any character to life. I like to give them a lot of intensity with unusual colours such as purple or yellow. The trick to make them stand out is to play with the light and saturation. I use a precise brush to create some colours variations in the eye and finish it a bright dot of light that will give volume to the eyeball.
12. Storytelling
A portrait leaves very little space to tell a story, so the general style of the character is important and can give a lot of indications and information about their life. I try to pay special care to their clothing, even if the viewer can only see a small part of it. I also spend time on their hair and details like a crown, to give the maximum amount of visual information. Their story can also be told by elements on the skin, like a tattoo, a scar or tribal markings.
13. Good lighting
The light is crucial in a portrait. If you get this right, it adds to the atmosphere of the piece, and brings life and volume to the face. I always start a portrait with neutral mid-tones and gradually add shadows and light. I love to accentuate the light in a chiaroscuro style; I think it brings a classic feeling to my fantasy theme. However, I keep my shadows very soft, and my gradients are usually very smoothed, because the face is made of curves and not sharp angles.
14. Skin texture
The skin is obviously an important element in a portrait painting, and a common mistake is to make it look flawless. It's relatively simple to paint clean, soft-looking skin, but if you're not careful your character will end up looking like a plastic doll, and besides nobody has perfect skin. To avoid this, I start with a textured base and use a soft brush with a little grain texture to recreate the skin's irregularities. I also add some dots of light to create pores, particularly on the nose and around the eyes.
15. Play with contrast
Another trick that works very well is to add contrast to the composition. I achieve this by adjusting the lighting, playing with complementary colours, or using warm and cold hues. The trick is to separate the character from the background. My favourite approach is to use a very dark background and an unusual light source to illuminate the character. The light captures the viewer's initial attention, who then moves on to my character portrait.

King Lear was a play by William Shakespeare. The First Doctor witnessed its debut performance and later reflected that Richard Burbage was a good actor, but "rubbish at portraying old men crushed by the delicious uncertainties of life".
When he was woken by James asking, "Now good sir, what are you?", the Doctor noted the irony and quoted the play, saying: "A poor man made tame to fortune's blows". (PROSE: Byzantium!)
One 1906 version of the production in San Francisco was directed by Charles Virgil McLean. (AUDIO: The Gift)
Arthur wanted to use a quote from King Lear as his dying words. (PROSE: The Death of Me)
Behind the scenes Edit
The 2008 film adaptation, broadcast on Channel 4, starred Ian McKellen in the role of King Lear. Others in the cast were Sylvester McCoy, William Gaunt, Frances Barber, David Weston, John Heffernan, Julian Harries, Kieran Bew, Peter Hinton and Ben Addis.
Paul Wheeler was the cinematographer for the film. It was filmed at Pinewood Studios.

Popular music video director, Clarence Peters, is the latest celebrity to come for the organizers of the Headies award following the nominees list they published a few days back.
Taking to his Instagram account, Clarence, slammed the organizers listing few names of music video directors, who should have also made the list.
He wrote:
In a year that these men gave us some of the most amazing visual interpretations mainly Darey's "Pray for me" by @mexemania & Kiss Daniel's "Jombo" by @ajefilmswork works, respectfully, it breaks my heart that The Headies don't deem it fit to recognize their outstanding work.
To my brothers: from Dir Q, to @adasacookey to Frizzle&Bizzle, from Gambit to LA, from Matt Max to Avalon to TOSIN IGHO, SESAN to MOE to MEJI etc …. We know what we put in.
Awards don't define us, WE DEFINE POPULAR CULTURE not just in Nigeria, but across the continent, so I salute you all.
Clarence, snagged a position in the category of 'Best Music Video' alongside, Banky W, UnLimited L.A, Sesan and Meji Alabi.

First of all I'd like to congratulate (Hanover) township on being named the most livable suburb out of 370 suburbs in the state by New Jersey Monthly magazine. But that might change for some of us in the Troy Hills section of town. The reason for this is that Dosch-King Company has applied to the Planning Board for amended site plans and variances to do some construction on their site which will further affect the quality of life in this part of town. We already have to live with the stench from the hot tar especially in the spring and summer when we have to keep our windows closed the black soot that appears on our patio and lawn furniture every day, not to mention what it's doing to our lungs, the engines from their tank trucks running in the middle of the night, with their workers talking to each other over the noise. And let us not forget the biggest fire in Whippany when Dosch-King caught on fire. My family experienced their first hand when we were told to evacuate the area during this tremendous fire. Neighbors are also concerned about the run-off into the Whippany River. If you want to keep the quality of life in Hanover Township, I urge everyone to attend the Tuesday, March 27 Planning Board meeting which will be held at 8 p.m. in the municipal building.
Thank you for your support.

Pedro Ximenez (also known as PX and many other variations) is the name of a white grape variety grown in certain regions of Spain, and also a varietal wine, an intensely sweet, dark, dessert sherry.
PX was originally grown in the Montilla-Moriles DO region of southern Spain, and along with Palomino Fino made up the majority of grapes used in the manufacture of Sherry. However, the strong resistance of the Palomino grape to disease has led to a great decline in the use of Pedro Ximenez in traditional sherry, and despite its continued use in the sweeter blends of sherry in Montilla-Moriles, Malaga and other regions of Andalusia, its fame now rests principally on its use in the varietal raisin wine of the same name.
The dessert wine Pedro Ximenez is made by drying the grapes in a time-honoured fashion under the hot Spanish sun for two or three weeks in order to allow the concentration of sugar, sweetness. The 'must' of these grapes ferment very slowly creating a wine of extraordinary depth and complexity, which are then used to create a thick, black liquid with a strong taste of raisins, figs, dates, molasses and coffee that is fortified and is used as a blender to sweeten Oloroso sherry and aged in solera.
Pedro Ximenez can be quite crisp and dry when vinified still but is more frequently used as a sweetening agent in Sherry. The grapes are dried in the sun to concentrate the sugars and flavours. In Spain the dried P.X. grapes are vinified and then aged, matured using the 'Solera and Criadera' system in barrel for many years and produce fortified wines of considerable character and sweetness.

Applied Topology
My research falls in a young and exciting area of mathematics known as applied topology. In recent years, researchers have applied topological methods to solve problems in engineering, computer science, biology, and other areas. Much of the success in these applications results from the use of topology to organize and analyze data.
More Information
The goal of my research is to develop mathematical, and especially topological, tools for data analysis. Within my research program, I have three focus areas:
