Lambic images
Those images you added are excellent: thank you for finding them! – ClockworkSoul 13:25, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * hehe, I had a lot of fun taking them and trying them, will upload more of the series to commons later this week with a bit of help from user:eloquence. I've also uploaded several pictures of beerglasses and beers to commons under the same nick. henna

 * That sounds like alot of fun to me! If you ever find yourself with a little free time, we sure could use a hand at the newly created WikiProject Beer :) – ClockworkSoul 21:34, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * oh my, I'll need help with translations for that :) I don't know all the names in english :( henna

 * I'll be happy to help where I can. :) – ClockworkSoul 15:12, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

vandalfighter
Hi Henna, v3.0 didn't work, but I'm now running 3.1.1 which works perfectly. All the bugs I reported have been fixed (for me at least) and I have struck out my reports on the VF page. I'll get round to trying v3.2 at some point and will let you know of any problems. Thanks for all your work on this, keep it up. Cheers. -- Cactus.man  ✍  06:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Update: I think the problem with VF3.0 was an incompatible JRE version. I was running 1.4.2.09 but updated to 1.5.0.06 before running VF3.1.1. I just tried VF3.0 again and it worked without problems. I presume you are using some new classes / methods that are not available in older JRE versions? I have added a Troubleshooting section to the VF page regarding the JRE version - please modify it as necessary. -- Cactus.man  ✍  07:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure the problem was the incompatible JRE version. All working well now though, so that's good. -- Cactus.man  ✍  16:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Tried the 3.2.1 version, and it does work on Windows ME, unlike the 3.0 version. Thanks, Henna. Colocho 22:04, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

VF page layout and manual
I added the manual to the main page and moved bugs/feature requests into sub-pages.

Please let me know if you want a different layout for the VF related pages. I won't be offended if you would prefer it to be done in a different manner.

VF improvements
Hi there! Good to see someone is maintaining this fantastic tool. Anyway, I thought you might be interested in my improvments. Here's a patch for the vf.java file: 2522c2522 < 								.openURL("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress"); --- > 								.openURL("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&section=1"); 2529c2529 < 										+ " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism_in_progress"); --- > 										+ " http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&action=edit&section=1"); 2543c2543 < 											+ ".org/wiki/User_talk:" + str); --- > 											+ ".org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:" + str + "&action=edit"); 2553,2554c2553,2554 < 											+ ".org/wiki/User_talk:" < 											+ str); --- > 											+ ".org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:" > 											+ str + "&action=edit"); It does two things: Keep up the good work! Regards, Misza 13 T C 11:11, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) The "B" column leads to the WP:AIV page instead of WP:VIP (and actually straight to editing the "Alerts" section), because RC patrol is a fast-paced "game". You'll also need to change the description in the GUI.
 * 2) The "T" column goes straight to editing the talk page instead of viewing it.

Welcome to VandalProof
Thanks for your interest in VandalProof! You've been added to the list of authorized users, and feel free to contact me or post a message on VandalProof's talk page if you have any questions. AmiDaniel (Talk) 00:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.1 is Now Available For Download
Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 06:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

VF integration
Hi Henna. Haven't seen you lately on MSN. I'd like to get back to our previous discussion. If you can, please send me the most up-to-date version of the Vandal Fighter so I can remake the changes I did to integrate it on JMWE to send you a correct diff. There is another suggestion to make. If you lost my MSN contact, here it is: nunotavare at hotmail.com. Best regards, Nuno Tavares 01:35, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

VF on Mac
No problem.

Is there an option to view the diff between current and previous instead of between to oldid's? Because after a long time using Lupin's tools, comparing oldid's seems awkward... --M1ss1ontomars2k4 18:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
 After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalfighter redirect
Howdy! I saw that you created a VandalFighter redirect in mainspace that pointed to userspace. I've deleted it, this type of cross-namespace redirect isn't appropriate. Good tool, but you should keep the documentation in your userspace. Regards, C HAIRBOY (☎) 06:17, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

VF
Hi! I'm an user from es: Wikipedia. I'd like to tell you a problem that I'm having with the vandl fighter.

Well, let's begin, I downloaded and executed the 3.5 Vandal Fighter seeing the es: RC. The next day, I put it again, but it worked on the en: wikipedia. I decided to change the configuration and it didn't work, though. I run more times the VF with configuration on es:, but it always doesn't work... it only works on en:

It happened to another Wikipedian friend... Do you know what it could be or shall I use the 2.2 version? =P

I downloaded the 3.3 version, but it work in the same way...

Thanks and sorry for my english, --Equi 23:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Now, I found out that if I download the 3.3 version, in the first time, it works... When I close it and execute it again, it lose the configuration... Equi 01:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

vf dead links
hello,

as you may have noticed every link is dead on VF's page. first, would be nice to resurrect them. then, would you somehow like to have some mirrors? if you can make the dirs reappear notify me and I'll start a daily mirror on the site, just in case your server decides again to stop. --grin ✎ 13:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

fixed the links, had forgotten to repair them yesterday when rescuing stuff of a slightly malfunctioning drive. Mirrors are greatly appreciated. Henna 19:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Category watch
Hi Henna,

I was reading User:Henna/VF - note it still says you are doing pre-wikimania stuff, probably needs some update :-).

I actually was looking for something a little different. Monitoring changes in real time, like VF is assisting, is helpful but not always possible. I was thinking of a different, complementary approach, of some way to make sure all "important" articles are monitored. It would be great if there were some mechanism to automatically enable WATCHING not just individual articles, but whole categories, complete with their descendent categories.

That way, if one user watches the articles contained in, say, Category: Engineering, he or she would be able to catch and revert vandalism in any of the articles in the category. Users who do nothave time to monitor a top-level category can of coures choose to watch sub-categories instead. This would make watch lists more systematic and not sporadic, as they are today.

I am mostly active in the Hebrew Wikipedia where I'm a sysop, so I hope you're the right person to ask - was such a tool already developed somewhere in wiki space? Thanks! Odedee 01:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

you could try the recent changes/category: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=Category%3ALiving_people Henna 15:46, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I didn't know this could be done. This seems most helpful. Do you know if a removal of an article from the category would also show up using such a filter? E.g. if an article is blanked so that it is out of all categories, would it still show up? Odedee 15:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * dunno, you can also make 'related changes' lists by putting articles you want to watch on a page and then isiting the 'related changes' for that pageHenna 16:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, those articles I have on my watch list already; however it is sporadic - I'm looking for a systematic way to ensure complete catgories are being watched, not just articles I edited in the past. We may need to write a bot for this. Odedee 18:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

No need for a bot, you can use Catscan. It is limited to listing 1000 articles per category/subcategory per query but, you could periodically scan main sub-categories to catch all of the articles. Doing this sort of scan can have unintended problems, like if another huge category is listed as a sub-category, and that one has another one, you could end up with a list of almost every article on Wikipedia :)

You may want to use the Category Tree tool to make sure that you won't end up in a loop like that.

Here is an example Catscan report for and its sub-categories and articles.

Here is the category tree view for that same category

 * -- That Guy, From That Show! 19:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, this is superb. What a great tool! I will advertise this tool to the entire Hebrew wikipedia. Thank you so much, Odedee 21:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

VF Bots
Hey Henna, I've noticed you've had PIRC bots pop up from time to time in the #vandalism-en-wp-2 channel. They are usually named vf######, and seem to somehow relate to your vandal fighter. I've just wanted to let you know that we've now opened the main channel, #vandalism-en-wp up to everyone, and since the other channel no longer has a 24 hour reporting bot in there, and will likely become obsolete in the near future anyway, you might want to redirect the bots to #vandalism-en-wp. Just thought I'd let you know. — P ilotguy push to talk  23:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Kewl (magazine)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kewl (magazine), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 13:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to events in June and July: bot, script, template, and Gadget makers wanted
I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's 1-3 June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or help with visa or hotel, just mention it in the registration form.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily talking about ResourceLoader and Gadgets (extending functionality with JavaScript), the switch to Lua for templates, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.

Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, including lots of people who have not attended such events before. User scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile, structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we want you to come!

I also thought you might want to know about other upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC and our other events.

Best wishes! - Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation's Volunteer Development Coordinator. Please reply on my talk page, here or at mediawiki.org. Sumana Harihareswara, Wikimedia Foundation Volunteer Development Coordinator 14:23, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

National Renewable Energy Laboratory

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in the US specializes in the research and development of renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy systems integration, and sustainable transportation. NREL is a federally funded research and development center sponsored by the Department of Energy and operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, a joint venture between MRIGlobal and Battelle. Located in Golden, Colorado, NREL is home to the National Center for Photovoltaics, the National Bioenergy Center, and the National Wind Technology Center.

History
The Solar Energy Research, Development and Demonstration Act of 1974 established the Solar Energy Research Institute, which opened in 1977 and was operated by MRIGlobal. Under the Jimmy Carter administration, its activities went beyond research and development in solar energy as it tried to popularize knowledge about already existing technologies, like passive solar. During the Ronald Reagan administration the institute's budget was cut by nearly 90%; many employees were "reduced in force", and the institute's activities were reduced to R&D. In September 1991, the institute was designated a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy by President George H.W. Bush, and its name was changed to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Renewed interest in energy problems improved the laboratory's position, but funding has fluctuated over the years. In 2011, anticipated congressional budget shortfalls led to a voluntary buyout program for 100 to 150 staff reductions, and in 2015 budget cuts led to staff layoffs and further buyouts.

Martin Keller became NREL's ninth director in November 2015, and currently serves as both the director of the laboratory and the president of its operating contractor, Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC. He succeeded Dan Arvizu, who retired in September 2015 after 10 years in those roles.

Department of Energy funding

In fiscal year 2020, congressional appropriations for the Department of Energy contained $464.3 million for NREL. This total included the following amounts for its renewable energy technology programs:

 * Solar energy: $122.4 million
 * Wind power: $30.0 million
 * Bioenergy: $56.3 million
 * Hydrogen and fuel cells: $17.6 million
 * Geothermal: $1.8 million
 * Water power: $15.8 million

Commercialization and Technology Transfer
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) engages in technology transfer, working with private sector partners to facilitate the application of research in renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies in practical settings.

In recognition of its efforts in innovation and technology transfer, NREL has received numerous R&D 100 Awards. These awards acknowledge advancements in scientific research with potential market applications. Additionally, NREL offers an external user access program. This program is designed to enable researchers from outside the laboratory to utilize the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF), providing them with an opportunity to collaborate with NREL’s staff in the development and evaluation of energy technologies.

National Center for Photovoltaics
The goal of the photovoltaics (PV) research done at NREL is to decrease the "nation's reliance on fossil-fuel generated electricity by lowering the cost of delivered electricity and improving the efficiency of PV modules and systems."

Photovoltaic research at NREL is performed under the National Center for Photovoltaics (NCPV). A primary mission of the NCPV is to support ongoing efforts of the DOE's SunShot Initiative, which wants to increase the availability of solar power at a cost competitive with other energy sources. The NCPV coordinates its research and goals with researchers from across the country, including the Quantum Energy and Sustainable Solar Technologies (QESST) Center and the Bay Area PV Consortium. NCPV also partners with many universities and other industry partners. NREL brings in dozens of students annually through the Solar University-National lab Ultra-effective Program (SUN UP), which was created to facilitate existing and new interactions between universities and the laboratory.

The lab maintains a number of research partnerships for PV research.

Research and development
Some of the areas of PV R&D include the physical properties of PV panels, performance and reliability of PV, junction formation, and research into photo-electrochemical materials.

Through this research, NREL hopes to surpass current technologies in efficiency and cost-competitiveness and reach the overall goal of generating electricity at $0.06/kWh for grid-tied PV systems.

NREL identifies the following as cornerstones to its PV R&D program: the Thin-Film Partnership and the PV Manufacturing R&D Project.

The Thin Film Partnership Program at NREL coordinates national research teams of manufacturers, academics, and NREL scientists on a variety of subjects relating to thin-film PV. The research areas of the Thin Film Partnership Program include amorphous silicon (a-Si), copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2 or CIGS) and, cadmium telluride (CdTe), and module reliability.

NREL's PV Manufacturing Research and Development Project is an ongoing partnership between NREL and private sector solar manufacturing companies. It started in 1991 as the Photovoltaic Manufacturing Technology (PVMaT) project and was extended and renamed in 2001 due to its success as a project. The overall goal of research done under the PV Manufacturing R&D Project is to help maintain a strong market position for US solar companies by researching ways to reduce costs to manufacturers and customers and improving the manufacturing process. It is estimated that the project has helped to reduce manufacturing cost for PV panels by more than 50%.

Examples of achievements under the PV Manufacturing Research and Development Project include the development of a manufacturing process that increase the production of silicon solar modules by 8% without increasing costs and the development of a new boron coating process that reduces solar costs over traditional processes.

Testing
NREL is capable of providing testing and evaluation to the PV industry with indoor, outdoor, and field testing facilities. NREL is able to provide testing on long-term performance, reliability, and component failure for PV systems. NREL also has accelerated testing capabilities from both PV cells and system components to identify areas of potential long-term degradation and failure. The Photovoltaic Device Performance group at NREL is able to measure the performance of PV cells and modules with regard to a standard or customized reference set. This allows NREL to serve as independent facility for verifying device performance. NREL allows industry members to test and evaluate potential products, with the hope that it will lead to more cost effective and reliable technology. The overall goal is to help improve the reliability in the PV industry.

Deployment
NREL also seeks to raise public awareness of PV technologies through its deployment services. NREL provides a number of technical and non-technical publications intended to help raise consumer awareness and understanding of solar PV. Scientists at NREL perform research into energy markets and how to develop the solar energy market. They also perform research and outreach in the area of building-integrated PV. NREL is also an active organizer and sponsor in the DOE's Solar Decathlon.

NREL provides information on solar energy, beyond the scientific papers on research done at the lab. The lab provides publications on solar resources and manuals on different applications of solar technology, as well as a number of different solar resource models and tools. The lab also makes available a number of different solar resource data sets in its Renewable Resource Data Center.

Facilities

NREL's Golden, Colorado campus houses several facilities dedicated to PV and biomass research. In the recently opened Science and Technology Facility, research is conducted on solar cells, thin films, and nanostructure research. NREL's Outdoor Test Facility allows researchers to test and evaluate PV technologies under a range of conditions, both indoor and outdoor. Scientists at NREL work at the Outdoor Test Facility to develop standards for testing PV technologies. At the Outdoor Test Facility NREL researchers calibrate primary reference cells for use in a range of applications. One of the main buildings for PV research at NREL is the Solar Energy Research Facility (SERF). Examples of research conducted at the SERF include semiconductor material research, prototype solar cell production, and measurement and characterization of solar cell and module performance. Additionally, the roof at the SERF is able to house ten PV panels to evaluate and analyze the performance of commercial building-integrated PV systems. Additionally, R&D in PV materials and devices, measurement and characterization, reliability testing are also conducted at the SERF. At the Solar Radiation Research Laboratory, NREL has been measuring solar radiation and meteorological data since 1984.

National Bioenergy Center
The National Bioenergy Center (NBC) was established in October 2000. "The National Bioenergy Center is composed of four technical groups and a technical lead for partnership development with industry. Partnership development includes work performed at NREL under Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA), Technical Service Agreements (TSA), Analytical Service Agreements (ASA), and Work for Others (WFO) contract research for DOE's industry partners."

The main focus of the research is to convert biomass into biofuels/biochemical intermediates via both biochemical and thermochemical processes.

The National Bioenergy Center is currently divided into certain technology and research areas:
 * Applied Science
 * Catalysis and Thermochemical Sciences and Engineering R&D
 * Biochemical Process R&D
 * Biorefinery Analysis

Some of the current projects are in the following areas:
 * Biomass characteristics
 * Biochemical conversion
 * Thermochemical conversion
 * Chemical and catalyst science
 * Integrated biorefinery processes
 * Microalgal biofuels
 * Biomass process and sustainability analysis

The Integrated Biorefinery Research Facility (IBRF) houses multiple pilot-scale process trains for converting biomass to various liquid fuels at a rate of 450–900 kg (0.5–1 ton) per day of dry biomass. Unit operations include feedstock washing and milling, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, fermentation, distillation, and solid-liquid separation. The heart of the Thermochemical Users Facility (TCUF) is the 0.5-metric-ton-per-day Thermochemical Process Development Unit (TCPDU), which can be operated in either a pyrolysis or gasification mode.

National Wind Technology Center

NREL has produced many technologies that impact the wind industry at a global level. The National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) is home of 20 patents and has created software such as (FAST), simulation software that is used to model wind turbines.

The NWTC is located on NREL's Flatirons Campus, which is at the base of the foothills just south of Boulder, Colorado. The campus comprises field test sites, test laboratories, industrial high-bay work areas, machine shops, electronics and instrumentation laboratories, and office areas.

The NWTC is also home to NREL's Distributed Energy Resources Test Facility (DERTF). The DERTF is a working laboratory for interconnection and systems integration testing. This facility includes generation, storage, and interconnection technologies as well as electric power system equipment capable of simulating a real-world electric system.

The center is the first facility in the United States with a controllable grid interface test system that has fault simulation capabilities and allows manufacturers and system operators to conduct the tests required for certification in a controlled laboratory environment. It is the only system in the world that is fully integrated with two dynamometers and has the capacity to extend that integration to turbines in the field and to a matrix of electronic and mechanical storage devices, all of which are located within close proximity on the same site.

Website wireframe

A website wireframe, also known as a page schematic or screen blueprint, is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website. The term wireframe is taken from other fields that use a skeletal framework to represent 3 dimensional shape and volume. Wireframes are created for the purpose of arranging elements to best accomplish a particular purpose. The purpose is usually driven by a business objective and a creative idea. The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website's content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together. The wireframe usually lacks typographic style, color, or graphics, since the main focus lies in functionality, behavior, and priority of content. In other words, it focuses on what a screen does, not what it looks like. Wireframes can be pencil drawings or sketches on a whiteboard, or they can be produced by means of a broad array of free or commercial software applications. Wireframes are generally created by business analysts, user experience designers, developers, visual designers, and by those with expertise in interaction design, information architecture and user research.

Wireframes focus on:
 * The range of functions available
 * The relative priorities of the information and functions
 * The rules for displaying certain kinds of information
 * The effect of different scenarios on the display

The website wireframe connects the underlying conceptual structure, or information architecture, to the surface, or visual design of the website. Wireframes help establish functionality and the relationships between different screen templates of a website. An iterative process, creating wireframes is an effective way to make rapid prototypes of pages, while measuring the practicality of a design concept. Wireframing typically begins between "high-level structural work—like flowcharts or site maps—and screen designs." Within the process of building a website, wireframing is where thinking becomes tangible.

Wireframes are also utilized for the prototyping of mobile sites, computer applications, or other screen-based products that involve human-computer interaction.

Uses of wireframes
Wireframes may be utilized by different disciplines. Developers use wireframes to get a more tangible grasp of the site's functionality, while designers use them to push the user interface (UI) process. User experience designers and information architects use wireframes to show navigation paths between pages. Business Analysts use wireframes to visually support the business rules and interaction requirements for a screen. Business stakeholders review wireframes to ensure that requirements and objectives are met through the design. Professionals who create wireframes include business analysts, information architects, interaction designers, user experience designers, graphic designers, programmers, and product managers.

Working with wireframes may be a collaborative effort since it bridges the information architecture to the visual design. Due to overlaps in these professional roles, conflicts may occur, making wireframing a controversial part of the design process. Since wireframes signify a "bare bones" aesthetic, it is difficult for designers to assess how closely the wireframe needs to depict actual screen layouts. To avoid conflicts it is recommended that business analysts who understand the user requirements, create a basic wire frame and then work with designers to further improve the wireframes. Another difficulty with wireframes is that they don't effectively display interactive details because they are static representations. Modern UI design incorporates various devices such as expanding panels, hover effects, and carousels that pose a challenge for 2-D diagrams.

The main benefit of wireframes is that they can be used to iterate on any interface in an agile manner. This happens through a process oftentimes referred to as usability tests, where users are provided with an opportunity to interact with the interface and either think aloud about their thought process or answer more structured questions throughout. After each trial with a user, a user experience researcher can identify common interactions with the interface, synthesize the data, and redesign accordingly.

Due to the generally lower-fidelity nature of wireframe, it is very easy and cost-efficient to make changes. The point of a wireframe is to capture the design of the fundamental structure, high-level interaction pattern within an interface, otherwise known as the critical points, so it really allows a designer to work quickly, perfect for an agile environment where group members work collaboratively to "sprint" to the next iteration.

Wireframes may have different levels of detail and can be broken up into two categories in terms of fidelity, or how closely they resemble the end product.

Low-fidelity

Resembling a rough sketch or a quick mock-up, low-fidelity wireframes can be quickly produced. These wireframes help a project team communicate ideas and collaborate more effectively since they are more abstract, using rectangles and labeling to represent content. Dummy content, Latin filler text (lorem ipsum), sample or symbolic content are used to represent data when real content is not available. For example, instead of using actual images, a placeholder rectangle can be used.

Low-fidelity wireframes can be used to facilitate team communication on a project and is used in the early stages of a project.

High-fidelity

High-fidelity wireframes are often used for documenting because they incorporate a level of detail that more closely matches the design of the actual webpage, thus taking longer to create.

For simple or low-fidelity drawings, paper prototyping is a common technique. Since these sketches are just representations, annotations—adjacent notes to explain behavior—are useful. For more complex projects, rendering wireframes using computer software is popular. Some tools allow the incorporation of interactivity including Flash animation, and front-end web technologies such as, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

High fidelity wireframes include more real content, specific typography choices, and information on image dimensions. Unlike low fidelity wireframes, high fidelity wireframes can include actual images. Color choices are not included, but different values in color can be represented in grayscale.

Elements of wireframes
The skeleton plan of a website can be broken down into three components: information design, navigation design, and interface design. Page layout is where these components come together, while wireframing is what depicts the relationship between these components.

Information design
Information design is the presentation—placement and prioritization of information in a way that facilitates understanding. Information design is an area of user experience design, meant to display information effectively for clear communication. For websites, information elements should be arranged in a way that reflects the goals and tasks of the user.

Navigation design
The navigation system provides a set of screen elements that allow the user to move page to page through the website. The navigation design should communicate the relationship between the links it contains so that users understand the options they have for navigating the site. Often, websites contain multiple navigation systems, such as a global navigation, local navigation, supplementary navigation, contextual navigation, and courtesy navigation.

Interface design
User interface design includes selecting and arranging interface elements to enable users to interact with the functionality of the system. The goal is to facilitate usability and efficiency as much as possible. Common elements found in interface design are action buttons, text fields, check boxes, radio buttons and drop-down menus.

Wild in the Country

Wild in the Country is a 1961 American musical-drama film directed by Philip Dunne and starring Elvis Presley, Hope Lange, Tuesday Weld, Millie Perkins, Rafer Johnson and John Ireland. Based on the 1958 novel The Lost Country by J. R. Salamanca, the screenplay concerns a troubled young man from a dysfunctional family who pursues a literary career. The screenplay was written by playwright Clifford Odets.

Plot
Glenn Tyler (Elvis Presley), a childish 25-year old, gets into a fight with and badly injures his drunken brother. A court releases him on probation into the care of his uncle in a small town, appointing Irene Sperry (Hope Lange) to give him psychological counselling. Marked as a trouble-maker, he is falsely suspected of various misdemeanors including an affair with Irene. Eventually shown to be innocent, he leaves to go to college and become a writer.

 * Elvis Presley as Glenn Tyler
 * Hope Lange as Irene Sperry
 * Tuesday Weld as Mrs. Noreen Martin
 * Millie Perkins as Betty Lee Parsons
 * Rafer Johnson as Davis
 * John Ireland as Phil Macy
 * Gary Lockwood as Cliff Macy
 * William Mims as Uncle Rolfe Braxton
 * Raymond Greenleaf as Dr. Underwood
 * Christina Crawford as Monica George

 * Pat Buttram as Mr. Longstreet, the Mechanic (uncredited)
 * Jason Robards Sr. as Judge Tom Parker (uncredited)
 * Red West as Glenn's brother (uncredited)
 * Michael Intlekofer as Noreen’s infant son (uncredited)

Development
The film was based on the debut novel by J. R. Salamanca. He wrote it over seven years.

Jerry Wald bought the screen rights to the novel in March 1958, before the book had been published. He wanted Bradford Dillman and Margaret Leighton to play the lead.

In August 1959, Wald said Joe Stephens was writing the script.

Philip Dunne was approached to make the film by producer Jerry Wald when they were shooting In Love and War together. Wald always intended to cast Elvis Presley in the lead and originally wanted Simone Signoret to appear opposite him.

In August 1960, Clifford Odets signed to write the screenplay, with Dunne to direct. Filming was to start in November. "It pained me to hear him rationalise writing the screenplay", said Odets' colleague Harold Clurman.

Dunne says the studio came under the control of Bob Goldstein, who refused to meet Simone Signoret's salary demands, and insisted Dunne and Wald use someone under contract to the studio. At one stage Barbara Bel Geddes was cast. They eventually cast Hope Lange, even though Wald and Dunne felt she was too young for the part. The studio then refused to keep paying Odets, firing him two weeks before filming.

The film was Millie Perkins' second film under her contract at Fox. The first was The Diary of Anne Frank filmed two and a half years previously.

Presley's fee was reportedly $300,000.

Dunne says the studio fired Odets with the script only half written so he had to finish it himself. Dunne did not want to do this, but was persuaded otherwise.

Shooting
Wild in the Country started filming in November 1960. It was the last movie to shoot at the colonial mansion which had been on the studio backlot since 1934 – this was knocked down and sold after filming completed.

The movie was also shot on location in Napa Valley and in Hollywood Studios, although it is set in the Shenandoah Valley. The cast and crew created a public sensation in Napa for over two months of filming. The motel where many of the cast stayed, Casa Beliveau (renamed the Wine Valley Lodge, now supportive housing for the homeless), was so mobbed that Elvis had to be moved to the St. Helena home that was being used in the film as Irene Sperry's house, where Glenn Tyler went for counseling. Now a top-rated inn in Napa Valley and known as The Ink House, the room where Presley stayed for over two months can still be rented.

Other Napa Valley locations featured in the movie. The opening scene was filmed along portions of the Napa River. This section of the river is located at what is now the Casa Nuestra Winery, between Calistoga and St. Helena. Calistoga's downtown main street was used as the hometown of Glenn Tyler's uncle and his cousin. Other filming locations in Napa Valley include the Silverado Trail between Calistoga and St. Helena, the Cameo Cinema (then The Roxy), an old movie theater still in operation in downtown St. Helena where the dance hall scenes with Elvis and Tuesday Weld were filmed, and the hills and farmland behind what is now Whitehall Lane Winery just north of the town of Rutherford.

Dunne recalled, "For his love scenes with Hope Lange, he couldn't get the right tempo so, I had him listen to Bach's Fifth Brandenburg Concerto. Presley listened intently, then said, 'Hey, man, now I get it!' And he did the smooching very slowly, in one take."

The Ink House was used as the house and backyard where a drunken Glenn Tyler tries to hose down Irene Sperry through the porch window, and the nearby 1885 barn is where Irene Sperry drives her DeSoto in to attempt suicide when she is so distraught over her suspected romance with Glenn and the scandal it has caused. In one scene, Betty Lee slaps Glenn. Millie Perkins suffered a broken arm while doing the scene, and before the film was released, the scene ended up being cut out of the movie.

Philip Dunne says that 20th Century Fox insisted on the insertion of four songs for Elvis Presley. Three were used in the film.

This was Elvis' last dramatic lead role until Charro!, as his next film, Blue Hawaii, was his first big budget musical-comedy and was a box office sensation. All his subsequent movies were largely formula musical-comedies which were quite lucrative but never gave him the chance to develop his potential as a serious actor that was very apparent in Wild in the Country. With the future formulaic musical-comedy routine in the making, Presley's fate had been sealed as a B-movie actor.

Presley began an off-screen romance with Hollywood "bad girl" Tuesday Weld but the relationship was short-lived after Elvis's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, warned him against his involvement, fearful it would harm his image. Elvis and Hope Lange also were quite taken with each other, but her separation from her husband did not result in a divorce until the next summer making her unavailable for a serious relationship. She was also involved in a relationship with Glenn Ford.

Other notable members in the cast included Jason Robards, Sr. (in his final role), Christina Crawford (daughter of Joan Crawford), Pat Buttram and the legendary Rudd Weatherwax who trained the animals used in the movie.

Reshoots
In the original script and rough cut of the film, Lange's character, Irene Sperry succeeds in her suicide attempt. However, preview audiences reacted negatively to it and the scene was redone in which Irene survives and sees Glenn off to college.

Soundtrack
Recording sessions took place on November 7 and 8, 1960, at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California, under the supervision of producer Urban Thielmann. Five songs were recorded for the film, with "Lonely Man" and "Forget Me Never" left out of the film.

Since Wild in the Country showcased Presley the actor rather than the singing star, RCA elected to release neither a long-playing album nor an EP as the soundtrack for a Presley film. The Colonel promised 20th Century Fox to assist with promotion by releasing some songs on singles. Despite being cut from the film, "Lonely Man" was actually the first song from the score to be released, appearing on February 7, 1961 as catalogue 47-7850b, the B-side of Presley's chart-topping hit single, "Surrender."

The title track to the film, "Wild in the Country" (included in the film), was released on the very next single, catalogue 47-7880b on May 2, 1961, as the B-side of the No.5 hit "I Feel So Bad." Both B-sides made the Billboard Hot 100 independently of their A-sides, "Lonely Man" peaking at No.32 and "Wild in the Country" at No.26.

The songs "In My Way" (included in the film) and "Forget Me Never" would be included on the 1965 anniversary compilation album Elvis for Everyone, while "I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell" (included in the film) appeared on the 1961 album Something for Everybody.

The soundtrack was re-released on the Follow that Dream collectors label with unreleased outtakes of all the songs.

Reception
The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote: "Nonsense, that's all it is—sheer nonsense—and Mr. Presley, who did appear to be improving as an actor in his last picture, is as callow as ever in this. The few times he sings are painful—at least they are to our ears—and his appearance is waxy and flabby. Elvis has retrogressed. So have Jerry Wald, the producer; Philip Dunne, the director; and, alas, Mr. Odets."

Variety wrote: "Dramatically, there simply isn't substance, novelty or spring to this wobbly and artificial tale ... It is difficult to accept the character as a 'potential literary genius' and, for that matter, the lovely and sophisticated Miss Lange as a lonely, learned widow with surprisingly few male admirers but a penchant for resurrecting lost, young, boyish souls. It's a credit to both that they do as well as they do."

Harrison's Reports graded the film as "Fair", calling the screenplay "unsophisticated but well-paced."

Charles Stinson of the Los Angeles Times called the film a "fairly acceptable melodrama", crediting a "sharp and unpretentious script by Clifford Odets, who adapted it from a novel by J. R. Salamanca. But credit must also be given young Mr. Presley who, with every film, keeps on improving as a performer. 'Wild in the Country' will take no prizes but it proved a lot better than this reviewer was steeling himself for."

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "In view of the generally murky photography, art direction and acting and Philip Dunne's soporific direction, the film's one rewarding feature—Hope Lange's sensitive and (wherever possible) intelligent playing of the psychiatrist-literary agent—is nothing short of a miracle. Presley gives an unassuming, sub-sub-Brando performance—even a likeable one in the hotel love scene: but one can't help feeling he was infinitely better off in every way prior to this misguided bid for class."

Phil Dunne later wrote that the film "fell between two stools. Audiences who might have liked a Clifford Odets drama wouldn't buy Elvis and his songs; Elvis's fans were disappointed in a Presley picture which departed so radically from his usual song-and-sex comedy formula. On both factions his fine performance was tragically wasted."
