Help. At one point I got a villager pregnant and then I couldn't add to the population because I did not have the last science item (which I ultimately found. So, she remained at 123 minutes for some time. After I found the last relic my population should have incresed to 100 allowing me 4 more villagers (It was at 96). However she remained at 123 minutes. I thought "ah ha" I will reduce her age. Now I have a 5 year old with a baby. Help! Any ideas?
Nobody in my tribe can bring the necklace to the chief i have completed the puzzles except earthquake on old village but no adult or child will bring the necklace it says there is no apparent place to put the necklace while the chief is resting in the old village is there anyone who can help me please???
how to get the jenga, collect tons of relics/science items and convert, before you have even done all the totems!
i was aggravated that i couldnt get the jenga, or find the stuff, or get my population up, even after ive converted them all-hence finishing the game. so i started a new game and discovered this....
you must already have a 'finished game' where you have all the godly powers. most importantly, the earthquake. i had started the game like normal, 2 males (both 16) 2 females (both 16) and a kid (6yrs). i did the food, the knowing totem, then did the pain totem by using the trick i read on here about going to an old game, choosing a godly power and hitting menu to bring it to another game.
i got to the part of building the clothing hut, when i thot about the jenga puzzle. so i went to my old game, grabbed the earthquake and started shakin the place up!
in the process of bringing down my building (it was at 83% when i started), as expected, got two rare relics right off the bat. but as i look around all the red and yellows are blinking!
thinking more of the jenga, i continued to quake the building, one hit after another...not waiting for lights to go off, just hitting the building.
each time after the 2nd or 3rd time, i converted a heathen! i am currently up to almost 40 villagers, and havnt even finished the clothing hut! it converted all heathens but the chief and the purple guys within 10 minutes! even rascal! not only that, but of course each time gave me the relics, so i am only missing about 5 on each side. i havnt even bought all the tech yet hehehe i have about 6 villagers already clearing the mausoleum right now, about 4 finishing the hut, 4 farming, and the rest are racking up the research points for me! this is a theory in testing. i have not reached the end of the game, am mostly wondering if they will clear the mud pit when i get the chief or what? or if this will in fact fix the population issue of the old game. if you do this, remember that you will need a lot of food, so keep using that insta-grow on your fields til they can sustain themselves! if anything its kinda fun lol.
ok well hope this helps someone out there. love VV hope this isnt the last of my little people...a new virtual families would be cool...or a way to design sum clothes! thanks!
For anyone who is wondering it is possible to acquire three collectibles with children, using the same principal as the double collection trick.
However you need to be extremely fast, you only get once chance with the third child. Simply put, when you see a collectible pause the game. Grab your first child and drop it onto the collectible while still paused. I recommend dropping the children in a triangle, usually in the upper left corner.
Grab the next child and position them about the middle of the collectible on the right side. As soon as you un-pause the game with the spacebar, you must drop the child and pause it as soon as you possibly can. This is where you will most likely screw up, you have to be as quick as you can on this one.
Once again grab another child and put them in the lower left hand corner of the collectible. Take care to try to space them apart just a bit, if you drop one on top of the others it doesn't work. Again un-pause the game using the spacebar and drop the child, timing is the key here, you need to be nearly synchronized with the spacebar. If you've done it correctly there will be a slight delay in the third child but they should reach down and begin the process. Using this trick you can triple the amount of tech points per collectible. Very handy in the beginning of the game or when you get an uncommon or rare collectible.
Hey everyone,
I'm having lots of trouble with the Blocking Totem and the Mausoleum, since I only have two Master Builders and 339 energy. I can get it to 82%, which REALLY frustrates me! I use Lightning, then Lightning, more lightning, then randomly find these common relics and use bees, but then my work goes down the drain. :/ Any tips? Besides wait for more Tech points for Construction and Spirituality?
I have pretty much completed the game w/108 villagers. What is hard to figure out is (Jenga), how can you use Earthquake on a partially built hut when you need all huts to get to a high number of villagers and a high number of villagers to get to Earthquake? It's counter productive. I have read most of the comments and have yet found the solution.
To EZEEKOOL--
I was wondering about the same thing. Never read anything anywhere before about 'end of world'. Hope Ian or somebody sets it straight.
TO Lawrence--
Jenga can be used on any building. Nursery, clothing hut, etc. First time I played I saved nursery for Jenga. Since then I've also used sewing hut cuz I got rainbow totem down before I even had that hut to build. All the housing huts will have to be built before you get earthquake power as you pointed out but hold off building the nursery until you have the 800 energy. Hope this helps.:)
Hi guys, I was wondering, how do I take down the blocking totem, because the most i've gotten is 40% before the savages repaired it. It's REALLY frustrating because all the yellows and reds are burying the mausoleum and my energy runs out before I can keep them away, also they seem to become 'immune' to the bees after awhile, the blockage is up to 687% !!!!
I can't do level 6, 7 or the eye one GRRRR!!!!!
To finish the blocking totem. I had 3 master builders. I put them on the block waiting for everyone to arrive to build it back. Then I used lightning. Put my 3 master builders back to work. I used bees to keep the red away and kids to keep the yellow away. I ended up letting ered and yellow come back and hitting them with lightning and bees again for the blocking totem to be totally demolished.
puddock : re master builders ---- I too had the same problem. What I did was used Thunder on the mauseleum to drive the everyone away and placed my builders to clear it. i kept the orange masks away by distracting them with children and kept them far away long enough with butterflies. They just kept chasing the children. I used the bees to keep the red mask away as long as possible. and just kept repeating it. But i didn't want to clear the maosoleum completely until i tear down the totem.
The best way to be the beat the Blocking Totem is to tear down the mausoleum at the beginning of the game. There are only 3 blue heathens and touching them with an adult they will run when you start tearing down the mausoleum. Once the mausoleum is completed all red and yellow heathens leave, and then no heathen bothers you when it comes time to tear down the Blocking totem. I realize if one has already started the game this is useless, but use it for further reference. During the game, Catherine Jernigan seems to have a good solution.
To: Samantha
First drop the time warp on your Master builder, he will run away. When he stops, find him and then put him at the challenge spot. Make sure the Master builder is sitting at his regular spot before you start. Your Master builder will clearly out build the heathen Master builder once you put yours down.
Put them on the rock formation below the hospital above the waterfall and the action bar will say "enjoying the waterfall" and then they will walk to the edge and jump in.
its better if you pause it, put 5-8 people on the rocks then play and then all the adults will come running to jump in aswell
ok..so how long do we have to wait for the "renew" god power? im constantly having to use the bloom on my crops and/or noni because i have 45 villagers *now got my twins YAY* and the food is going really fast. i left the game running while i did stuff yesterday and came back and had like 500 food left after the bin was overflowing. when does that power emerge so i can get my lake full of fish?
eventually rascal changes...he did for me.. and the mommy heathen from what i understand is only in the game ifyou bought it directly from last day of work...
help though...i've had three villagers stuck at nursing forever....and they are about to get old..are they goign to die before they let this kid go? I mean... i can have 95 villagers i only have 75 so i dunno WHY they aren't dropping the kids... i haven't messed with my clock or anything
Ania unless they've already had devotion you can't increase it. just as its very difficult to get the "master devotte young" unless you use the god power to make your adult a child. if they have some devotion already, you can set them to be devotee's and they will randomly honor at the statue *if its fully done*. but while you set them for that i also recommend you also have them do another "job" and have them go back to honoring randomly.sometimes it takes a while for them to start.
i don't know about the fourth hut though i only have three and my population can be 95. maybe once you reach the 100 stage you get one.
I tried you suggestion for Jenga and found out that you have to use Earthquake when you first start to build. If you get past 3% of the building, the Earthquake will not completely tear down the building, it will only reduce the building by 4%. Next time I will try on the nursery. FYI: I had an elder (68) with child die, I revived and the child was also revived. Then I granted her youth and she still held onto the child. A 4 year old carrying a child. Wonder what happens at feeding time?
You're right about the reduction of building going down a small percentage if you have any significant building done but I was still able to get star (trophy) for Jenga without having to completely destroy the building. My first game tho I had saved the nursery and I think I used earthquake at the beginning of building it (so long ago I don't remember exactly) but used it on sewing hut in latter games and it still gave me Jenga. BTW I also imported the earthquake power from my first tribe because I only had 26 villagers (4th tribe & speed game for me) and completed all puzzles. I got Jenga on hut that was over 30% built. You should have Jenga even when you reduce progress on building. That should be considered as 'reset a project'. My opinion, of course, but it did work for me. Tribe 4 still have alot of stars to do yet.(only got 24). Hope this makes sense! :)
To Aust:
If you received the game when it first came out you will have a "mommy heathen". It would show up on lower left side of your puzzle page. If it's not there then you don't have one. He/she will be the one with a blue mask carrying baby usually hanging at the 'filthy encampment". As for fixing the aqueduct you first have to have a master scientist and a few adept builders. Place your m.s. on broken part of aqueduct and they will supervise then put builders on and they will repair. You have to supervise a little yourself cuz they tend to roam away. Hope this helps!
To dawiccankitten and others: About women carrying babies for a long time.
It appears to happen if a woman has been 'granted youth'. It seems innconsistant, some eventually release the babies, sometimes the babies die while being carried, and sometimes the women die still carrying the babies It would appear to be some kind of glitch. I tried to 'revive' one of these women, but she died again emmediately.
I would be interested to hearing from anyone having any other info.
Thanks for the reminder that Eating is a healing activity! I should have used it when one of my first settlers had become Elderly and her Health bar was receding. (Reversed that with more Medical research ... for now.) Have used it since on less severe Health problems.
Someone asserted regarding a previous VV that Research was the hardest on Health--stress and/or lab accidents, perhaps--and Farming had the least Health impact. It may be so in VV5 as well.
Two questions:
1. I havae been playing the game for 4 weeks and only ever encountered 8 island events (and these were all WEEKS AGO!). Any suggestions?
2. I've been using the "lure Rascal into a corner and hit menu" trick to get rid of Rascal, but she keeps getting free and coming back after about 5 mintues. Again, any suggestions?
Thx, Tiff
To JennyHug81:
EZEEKOOL and I both want to know the same thing!! Back on March 20 someone called Ian posted on how to make end of world and about infinite energy. We're still waiting for a response. I, too, have had 4 tribes and haven't a clue as to what it's about.
To EZEEKOOL:
Sorry, can't help with baby problem, never had it. From what I've read it has something to do w/your population count. So many villagers have to die before mom will release child. If your population is overmaxed (from converting the last of the heathens) then I guess you would have to have your population lowered. Not positively sure but that may be the problem. :/
Try putting that villager on food hut several times. After a few times it should say that villager is healthier after eating. You'll have to do this many times depending on how weak they are. Seeing as there are no potions to make it's the only thing I know. Keep checking status after you MAKE them eat and you'll see it rises slowly. :)
I've played since Jan. and have only 13/50 events on my oldest tribe. Like villagers cured (63/100)it is a random event and probably will take a long time to complete.
2 Not sure about that 'lure and hit menu' thing but I have "held" rascal off many times by using a nursing mother or an extra kid as a lure. Get rascal (w/butterflies) to a remote area and while holding your 'lure' over rascal (or any yellow heathen)hit the M key. When you return from the map all heathens that were chasing 'lure' will be locked. I like the forst where they go when it rains but that's after its cleared of trees. Rascal usually breaks free at some point (hence the name) so I repeat when rascal becomes a nuisance.
Marygrace: That is called the filthy encampment and it will change after you've converted all heathens.
No matter what speed you're on, the lights take a few hrs. (usually 2-3)
So glad it helped. Keeping an eye on all villagers from time to time can alert you if there's a problem.
Hope this was some help! =)
just fyi something i noticed. when i converted rascal.. i didn't know until like.. a lil bit later cause i kept lookin for the lil bastard and finally had to count the heathens since he was in the encampent when i did it... his name changed and he grew up. rather scary. bonus he had devotion so that helped a lot.
Ok, so I have cleared mausoleum...or so I thought. It says there is 0% blockage, but there is still a construction thing outside of it and a big tree trunk in it, plus I can't get them to bury the dead there and it says that the puzzle hasn't been completed. Help! I've tried to put builders back on it, but since it says 0% blockage, they don't stay working on it because there's nothing to work on. I'm afraid it's just a glitch and there's nothing I can do to fix it. Any ideas?!?
i got two of my women to drop their babies... purely by accident really... i had been waiting and waiting for someone to die *sad isn't it* and i know there's more then one way to raise parenting up, and i needed more children so i started to use the 'speed up' on the eldery. Two of them were my women who've been nursing for a full RT week.. ^_^ they dropped the kid eventually before they croaked
I'm trying to solve the Big Kahuna puzzle. I finished the necklace, a child assembled it. Then 1st time I dropped a child on it and it was "confused", then I dropped an adult on it and it was also "confused", but the bottom of the screen said something like 'there's no where to bring the necklace'. So, i assumed I had to wait for the chief to come out. Now he's out (I have the game paused) and I'm getting the same results as above.
Any ideas? Does the chief need to be doing something specific?
i'm trying to destroy the totem by the aqueduct and have been trying to use bees and lightning, but neither seems to have much effect on the red heathen- lightning does absolutely nothing and bees will get it to move away to the other side for about 10 seconds, but it takes a long time to get there. any suggestions?
You can disassemble the rainbow totem WITHOUT the colored ink pots!
Simply use some well placed bees and the red masked heathen will move away enough that a few builder villagers will not be scared away. This may need to be repeated a few times.
This was one of the first few totems I removed without hardly any resources. Happy gaming!

mbd needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 119 designs submitted by 40 freelance designers.
The Impossible Odds Foundation
The Impossible Odds Foundation is committed to improving the lives of children around the world. In 2006, the Foundation developed a campaign to raise awareness of the role of the Internet in the lives of missing and exploited children. More than 2.8 million people visited the Light a Million Candles website. Recently, the Foundation has raised funds to benefit children orphaned or abandoned because of HIV/AIDS.
A small percentage of funds raised may be used to develop and support marketing programs for fundraising events. A record of all revenues collected and funds disbursed by The Impossible Odds Foundation are available upon request. Donors to the Impossible Odds Foundation will receive US charitable tax receipts upon request.
There are 196 sovereign nations in the world. 89 of those countries have no laws against the exploitation of children. The Impossible Odds Foundation is developing a strategy to address this issue. The need and the audience are global. We may proceed with this initiatve one country at a time. We might start with countries such as Taiwan, Japan and China. We will apply the knowledge we gain from these early efforts to other countries or territories. We may partner with the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
The website needs to explain who we are and what we do. It should be able to be modified to suit the different initiatives we may undertake. (Fundraising initiatives such as marathons or the Iron Man.) We would also want to be able to receive donations from the public. We would want to be able to receive communication from the audience. It is almost as important that we receive hits as it is that we receive donations. Our strategy is to raise the profile of the issue and raise funds to help address the issues we raise. http://www.lightamillioncandles.com was an extremely effective website. With very little promotion we drew over 2 million hits from every part of the world.
The first page should carry the Mission Statement of the Impossible Odds Foundation. There should be a section holding brief summaries of past initiatives. The site should be able to receive viewer's comments. There should be a blog and contact forms and the ability to receive donations.
The design will consist of 2 pages, the home page and a secondary page to be used as a template for various content pages: menu, about us, contact, history, etc. Both pages will have the same header and footer. The header will contain our name and menu items such as about us, contact, history etc. The footer will contain the same links as the header as well as badge icons for Twitter and Facebook.
There is no existing website for Protect the Children or the Impossible Odds Foundation.

September 24th is not too far away which means the very awaited for flick "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" is going to be here real soon, just a little over a month to be exact. If you remember, I submitted a lesson on one of the main characters named Soren. Today, I will be teaching you guys "how to draw Gylfie", step by step. Now, because I don't want to spoil the movie or book for those of you that haven't read any of the novels, I'm not going to say as much as I did when I wrote out Soren. Instead, I will just tell you that Gylfie is the second main character, and she is an Elf Owl from The Band, and she is also Soren's best friend. Instead of being born in a tree like other owls, Gylfie was born in a cactus from the Desert of Kuneer. Some other cool adventurous stuff happens with her life, but I will leave that as a mystery because if I say too much, you will not be surprise or the books and flick will hold no suspense for you. The only thing I can do with a clear conscience, is show you "how to draw Gylfie", from the book "Guardians of Ga'Hoole". I will be back once more with some other cool tutorials for you all to learn from. Stick around and keep busy by trying out this, and other lessons that catches your eye. Peace out people!

Weekly review of my spread picks – bad week for me last week.
NYJ @ TENN (-8.5) – If Pennington starts, it will be hard for me to root against him, but I will anyway because I think this could be a pounding by TENN. (nice call – a 4 point crappy game).
DEN @ SD (-8.5) – This is the kind of game Shanahan may be able to squeeze out. SD has already clinched but I can see some more second-guessing of Norv when he pulls LT early in the second half. (nice call again…blowout by SD)
WASH @ MN (-6.5) – After the Wash victory last week, I Salisburied and claimed they would roll over MN en route to the playoffs. I said this with serious, serious conviction. Now, I'm not sure they'll cover. (Looks like the Salisbury in me was right this time).

By default it seems the editor inserts images using an absolute path.
We're developing a site in /staging/ and plan to move it later on. Is there a way to get relative paths on images to display properly in the editor? Maybe there's a function or snippet in the editor that resolves to the upload path or something?
So for example, my images in my home page are:
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21" title="Authentic Chinese Food" src="wp-content/uploads/2011/04/panel_authentic.jpg" alt="Authentic Chinese Food" />
which display fine on the page itself, but not in the editor.
Thanks! John.

Superior energy performance & cooling performance from new digital inverter compressor
Auckland, New Zealand – Samsung announces its new Top Mount Freezer, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) earlier this year, will be available in New Zealand from mid-February.
The new addition to Samsung's Whitegoods line-up features the innovative Digital Inverter Compressor which automatically adjusts cooling speed in response to temperature fluctuations for more energy efficiency*.
The result is a 3.5 energy star rating for a powerful refrigerator with a top-mount freezer that is both durable and convenient.
Tura Gim, Whitegoods Product Manager for Samsung Electronics New Zealand, says the new refrigerator affirms Samsung's dedication to providing appliance innovations that deliver unparalleled performance, greater flexibility and more convenience for today's busy families.
"At Samsung, we pride ourselves on predicting what our consumers will need and we believe our new Top Mount Freezer delivers real solutions to everyday challenges," he says.
"It is these sorts of insights that enable Samsung to develop features such as the Digital Inverter Compressor, which keep the refrigerator working smoothly and minimise wear to extend product life."
The new Samsung Top Mount Freezer will be available from selected retailers nationwide from 11 February 2013. RRP$899–$1,399.
Durability, Reliability and Energy Efficiency
The Digital Inverter Compressor improves energy efficiency and cooling performance by automatically adjusting across five speeds of revolutions per minute (RPM) in response to cooling demands. Reacting to such things as frequent door openings, a hot plate of food or outside temperature changes, the intelligent compressor either rapidly provides cold air, or slows down cooling to reduce energy consumption.
The compressor operates only when needed, producing less noise and also comes with a 10-year parts warranty from Samsung.
The Moist Fresh Zone works to control air circulation to maintain optimal humidity, creating an ideal environment to store fresh vegetables and fruit for a longer period of time.
Space Efficiency and Convenience Features
The Easy Slide Shelf is specially designed for effortless food storage and removal; the shelf slides in and out enabling more efficient organisation and use of space.
Samsung's new Top Mount Freezer also comes with a wider and deeper door shelf to accommodate large bottles.
A high-efficiency LED light illuminates the new model interior more brightly than conventional models, while a modern style Easy Handle is recessed for streamlined design.

Sequester debate turns into blame game
Washington --
The good news for Republicans: Not as many Americans blame them for the current budget debacle as during the last game of political chicken on Capitol Hill, the "fiscal cliff" standoff just two months ago.
The bad news for Republicans: Americans still believe that GOP lawmakers deserve far more of the blame than President Obama for the stupefying series of self-created economic crises that have paralyzed Washington governance over the past two years.
"It's ridiculous," said Democratic consultant Harold Cook. "It's like 'Groundhog Day' for budgets."
As the clock ticks down on the latest fiscal melodrama, with $85 billion in automatic spending cuts scheduled to start Friday if Congress fails to act, the warring political factions are more focused on a public-relations blame game than in discussing ways to break the impasse.
From the right: "The president would rather engage in a fear-mongering campaign instead of working with Congress to find a real solution," said Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee. "Rather than travel just 2 miles from the White House to the Capitol, President Obama has decided to travel more than 5,000 miles on his sequester fear-mongering tour."
From the left: "Voters will see that the Tea Party Republicans are putting their absolutist ideology above the economic health of the country in an unpatriotic display of pique," said Democratic consultant Jason Stanford.
Dormant discussions
Two days before automatic cuts go into effect, policy discussions on Capitol Hill remain dormant, and what's known as the sequester seems all but inevitable. All of the energy of Washington's warring factions is going into shaping the inevitable blame game: Who is going to win the political battle underlying the posturing on the sequester? If anyone.
Obama, who talks of a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction, still seems to hold the trump card of public opinion over Republicans, who are insisting on a cuts-only approach.
"At the moment, the president seems to reflect public opinion better," said John Zogby, senior analyst at the nonpartisan polling firm Zogby Analytics. "The polls are pretty clear: People want a mix of higher taxes and budget cuts."
Still, more and more pundits are positing that Obama may be over-hyping the risks of deadlock by predicting a national economic "calamity" - to use the words of one Cabinet official - when across-the-board cuts kick in on everything from air traffic to border crossings to day-to-day government services.
"On the sequester, President Obama may be overplaying his hand, because by threatening that the sequester will dramatically affect daily life for all Americans, he risks looking foolish if it doesn't materialize," said Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak.
GOP bets on win
Unlike the fiscal cliff debate, where Republicans were gambling with a potential government default, GOP lawmakers believe that they can win a debate over the best way to reduce the federal deficit.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, bluntly instructed senators this week to "get off their ass" and pass a spending plan for the first time in four years.
Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, said that instead of spending $180,000 an hour in taxpayer funds to "fly around the nation scaring people, the president ought to come back to the Capitol and talk to (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid."
There's good reason why Republicans want to change the political dynamic in Washington. By 45 to 32 percent, voters say they would blame the GOP more for a sequester, according to a Pew Research Center survey, with 13 percent faulting both sides equally.
Still, the political climate is not as hostile to congressional Republicans as it was two months ago. During the December fiscal cliff-diving exercise, 53 percent of voters said they would have blamed Republicans, nearly twice the 27 percent holding Obama responsible.
White House falters
What's more, the White House political operation has not been nearly as sure-footed as it was during the fiscal cliff showdown in December, which ended with Republicans capitulating and allowing taxes to be raised on the wealthiest Americans.
This time, even some Democratic strategists worry that the president has been distracted by a tangential debate over who came up with the concept of a sequester, rather than focusing on the policy choices the nation faces.
"For everybody now to pretend that they had nothing to do with (the idea of a sequester) is kind of insulting, frankly," said Democratic consultant Cook.
Cindy Rugeley, a Texas Tech University political scientist, said there may be no winner emerging from the high-stakes political game that's under way. But there already are several certain losers.
"Americans are just sick of it all," she said. "I don't think shifting blame from Democrats to Republicans in Congress, or Republicans to Democrats, makes any difference. Congress has lost credibility, and the public sees it as a bipartisan flop."

KOffice 1.4.1 with Improved OASIS Support
The KOffice team today announced the first bugfix release of the 1.4 series. Among various bugfixes and translation improvements, the KOffice 1.4.1 release further improves support for the OASIS OpenDocument file format. More changes are listed in the changelog. Binary packages for Kubuntu, Mandriva and SUSE have been contributed and the KOffice Live-CD has been updated.
Is KDE going to use the OO icons for the Oasis MIME types?
By James Richard Tyrer at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: Icons
Probably not. Even the old OOo mime types had more KOffice-oriented icons, (modulo bug #95123).
Have a nice day!
By Nicolas Goutte at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: Icons
Then somebody needs to decide if we are going to use the current KOffice MIME type icons or if we need to request new ones. The current situation is as stated in that bug. The desktop files have names of non-existant icons. The KOffice MIME icons I made are associated with the KOffice apps so we really need new ones that are associated with the Oasis file types.
When somebody determines this, please post to kde-artists list, or discuss it there.

Re: Hopefully OpenDocument support works better now.
Yeah I saw similar stuff when inporting GNUMERIC datasets with KSpread. The tables looked wrong, colors not set correctly, borders missing and and and. But then I believe that it's just a matter of time and manpower once these issues are worked out.
By ac at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: Hopefully OpenDocument support works better now.
Not necessarily KOffice is always to blame. For example OOo released a Beta which wrote non-final OpenDocument standard documents.
Re: Hopefully OpenDocument support works better no
Thats why it is called BETA.
By testerus at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: Hopefully OpenDocument support works better no
Which unfortunately doesn't prevent distributions such as SUSE or Fedora to ship it as default office application.

Fedora again is Red Hat Beta.

KOffice is beginning to rock!
I just woke up to a new and excellent Koffice release. KDE is beginning to provide every single app that I need for work.
Koffice is beginning to rock pretty hard. Krita is a joy to work with. It may not have everything the GIMP has, but the discoverability of its features and its workflow is so much better.
Kword is finally beginning to be really stable and Kpresenter is incredible too. (I am not as impressed with Kspread right now, sorry).
I just mention these apps because they are the ones I use the most. If KOffice ever gets perfect document exchange with OpenOffice, and I feel like we are making tremendous progress, it will be able to replace OpenOffice at our non-profit for 90 percent of the people.
Keep the good stuff coming and a big thanks to all of the KDE devs.
Here in the trenches, I can tell you that my users love KDE 3.4 to the point that they bring their Windows computers from home because they want to have the nice KDE environment that they have a work.
We may not have the one killer app, but we have a killer desktop environment. I can only wait for KDE 4.0 and Plasmma and Tenor.
Thanks again.

Re: KOffice is beginning to rock!
Has kword improved table support ? last time I checked, tables
so also was pdf support. The pdf files generated from koffice
People would love to use koffice for its lightness and integration.
By Ask at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: KOffice is beginning to rock!
My pdfs look just fine. The table support is there and functional and there are some basic templates.
By Gonzalo at Tue, 2005/07/26 - 5:00am
Re: KOffice is beginning to rock!
There is always the possibility to embed KSpread into KWord, so there is no real reason to reimplement all table functionality in KWord.
IMHO basic table support in KWord is enough. Complex tables should be done with KSpread embedding.

Ghosting of pictures
One thing I just noticed is that whenever you move a picture frame around, there is ghosting on kword's screen and it only goes away when you minimize and maximize the application.
Is there a way to avoid this ghosting?

Re: Ghosting of pictures
Please submit a bug report (if it hasn't been reported earlier). That way all KOffice devs will see it.

January 2016 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Cases Filed in the Northern Division of the Central District of California
We bring you the numbers.
Mansfield Cheney, PC is committed to accurate information presented in context. For more information on our commitment, please review the information that follows the chart. Attorneys are presented in descending order based on number of cases filed. We take pride in the fact that we have two attorneys who are extremely active in representing people in need of a new beginning.
Most bankruptcy law firms in the region are solo practitioners or choose to file under one attorney. At Mansfield Cheney, PC each of our attorneys files the cases that attorney prepares and appears at the 341(a) hearing on behalf of our client.
Mansfield Cheney, PC as a firm filed 18 cases in the Northern Division in January 2016.
Use the search box to look for a particular attorney.
We do our best to provide factual information in context. We believe it is important for the public to consider the total number of cases filed by attorneys and law firms in the Northern Division of the Central District of California. To demonstrate that our claims are substantiated we provide information on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings from the United States Public Access to Court Electronic Records, also called PACER. These numbers may be readily and easily verified from public records. It doesn't get much easier than that.
California Business and Professions Code section 6158 ensures that attorney communications are not false, misleading or deceptive. The precise code section states:
"In advertising by electronic media, to comply with Sections 61571.1 and 6157.2, the message as a whole may not be false, misleading, or deceptive, and the message as a whole must be factually substantiated. The message means the effect in combination of the spoken word, sound, background, action, symbols, visual image, or any other technique employed to create the message. Factually substantiated means capable of verification by a credible source."
We cannot guarantee the accuracy of PACER information, though we believe it is reliable. We do not mean to imply that the volume of cases filed or handled should serve as the only metric by which one should choose a lawyer. We do not intend to indicate that number of cases filed provides a measurement of quality or service. Figures are for Northern Division of the Central District of California. Some attorneys in our region file in the San Fernando Valley Division. Those filings are not included in these statistics. Certain law firms have more than one attorney and this may factor into the number of cases filed by that firm. In addition, the volume of bankruptcy legal work performed by a law firm may include matters that do not result in a "filing." Such matters may include extensive litigation involvement, creditor representation, appellate work, or other financial distress representation.
This website is a communication. California Rule of Professional Responsibility 1-400 provides that a communication shall not contain any untrue statement. It also provides factual information must be presented fairly and in context. In particular, information on this and other attorney websites must not (among other things):
Contain any matter, or present or arrange any matter in a manner or format which is false, deceptive, or which tends to confuse, deceive, or mislead the public; or
Omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements made, in the light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading to the public.
All information on these pages is factual, verifiable, and presented for the benefit of the legal consumer. We try hard to ensure that the facts are not presented in a misleading manner. You can access PACER data to research these facts further and we encourage legal consumers to do just that. Some attorneys are uncomfortable presenting the public with this information. We aren't.
If you have any questions or suggestions on the presentation of this information, please let us know.

Will Algaecides & Herbicides Harm My Beneficial Bacteria?
Kenneth – Lawton, OK
Some chemical treatments can affect the performance of your beneficial bacteria. It's best to wait 72 hours after a chemical treatment to add bacteria. Certain chemical treatments contain copper, and copper can reduce the effectiveness of bacteria. If you wait a few days, you'll ensure no loss of bacteria from a chemical interaction and the bacteria will have a lot of newly killed weeds to feed on. If you can't wait, apply bacteria away from the treated areas of your pond. For example, if you put chemicals around the edge of your pond, add bacteria such Pond Logic® PondClear™, to the center. This will prevent the chance of overlapping chemicals with natural bacteria.

The short version
Here is an extremely natural hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{R}^n$, which I will call $R_n$ for resonance arrangement.
Let $x_i$ be the standard coordinates on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For each nonempty $I\subseteq [n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$, define the hyperplane $H_I$ to be the hyperplane given by $$\sum_{i\in I} x_i=0.$$ The resonance arrangement is given by all $2^n-1$ hyperplanes $H_I$. The arrangement $R_n$ is natural enough that it arises in many contexts -- to first order, my question is simply: have you come across it yourself?
This feels rather vague to be a good question, and after giving some background on where I've seen this I'll try to be a bit more specific about what I'm looking for, but my point is this arrangement has a rather simple and natural definition, and so crops up in multiple places, and I'd be curious to hear about more of them even if you can't specifically connect it to what follows.
What I knew until this week
I came across this arrangement in my study of double Hurwitz numbers -- they are piecewise polynomial, and the chambers of the resonance arrangement are the chambers of polynomiality. I don't want to go into this much more, as it's unimportant to most of what follows Though I will say that conjecturally double Hurwitz numbers could be related to compactified Picard varieties in a way which would connect this arrangement up with birational transformations of those. Also, the name "resonance arrangement" was essentially introduce in this context, by Shadrin, Shapiro and Vainshtein.
It apparently comes up in physics -- I only know this because the number of regions of $R_n$, starting at $n=2$, is 2, 6, 32, 370, 11292, 1066044, 347326352 ... Sloane sequence A034997, which you will see was entered as "Number of Generalized Retarded Functions in Quantum Field Theory" by a physicist.
You might expect by that rate of growth that this hyperplane arrangement is completely intractable, and more specifically, what I would love from an answer is some kind qualitative statement about how ugly the $R_n$ get. Which brings us to:
Connection to the GGMS decomposition
I got to thinking about this again now and decided to post on MO of it because of Noah's question about the vertices of a variation of GIT problem, where this arrangement is lurking around -- see there for more detail. Allen's brief comment there prompted me to skim some of his and related papers to that general area, and I found the introduction to Positroid varieties I: juggling and geometry most enlightening, together with the discussion at Noah's question could give another suggestion why $R_n$ is perhaps intractable. Briefly:
The arrangement $R_n$ is a natural extension of the $A_n$ arrangement. One common description of the $A_n$ arrangement is as the $\binom{n+1}{2}$ hyperplanes $y_i-y_j=0, i,j\in [n]$ and $y_i=0, i\in [n]$. However, one can consider the triangular change of variables $$y_k\mapsto \sum_{j\leq k} y_j$$.
This changes the hyperplanes to $$\sum_{i\leq k \leq j} y_k=0.$$
These hyperplanes are no longer invariant under permutation of the coordinates, and if we proceed to add the entire $S_n$ orbit of them, we get the resonance arrangement $R_n$.
From the discussion on Noah's question and the introduction to the Positroid paper, we see that this manipulation is a shadow of the GGMS decomposition of the Grassmannian, and describing this decomposition in general seems to be intractable in that it requires identifying whether matroids are representable or not. So, what I'd really like to know how is much of the "GGMS abyss", as they refer to it, is reflected in the resonance arrangement? Is it hopeless to describe and count its chambers?

Tonight's dinner incorporated two ingredients I've never used before…and was quite nervous about using!
1. Rice Sticks:
Much thinner than rice NOODLES, they are similar to cellophane or glass noodles and take just 3 minutes to cook!
2. Rice Paper Wrappers: The egg roll wrapper's chewier, rice cousin.
If you haven't guessed – I made Fresh Spring Rolls for dinner!
The good news is that fresh spring rolls are surprisingly fool-proof, thanks to a strong rice paper wrapper that seems rather impenetrable to anything besides a knife and my chompers, and that they are INSANELY, amazingly, delicious!
First we start with zee fillings:
- Cucumber
- Carrots
- Green onion
- Extra firm tofu (pressed, cut into strips and tossed with some dipping sauce)
- Rice sticks
- Avocado
- Basil
I laid them out next to a clean, dry plate and another plate which I flooded with warm water.
I was kind of freaking out because right out of the package the rice paper wrappers are pretty thick, sturdy and…textured? On the contrary – the fresh spring rolls you get at a restaurant are thin, delicate and chewy. At any rate, I pressed on.
After I dunked the wrapper in warm water for 10 seconds, I laid it out on my dry plate and added the toppings.
Magically, as the wrapper laid on the plate, it went from hard, to soft! Yes! I continued to wrap the roll similar to an eggroll – like this – except I rolled them as tight as I could. I thought the wrapper might rip, but it didn't. Impenetrable, I'm telling you.
Just like that, I had a fresh spring roll! I was slightly shocked, as it was so much easier than I thought! It was loose, but TASTY!!!!
I put the petal to the metal on the next ones, wrapping them super snug.
And it was good!!
SO good! Seriously – I am in LOVE with these things!
Chewy wrapper, fun noodles, creamy avocado and hearty tofu.
Plus you've got a nice crunch from the cucumber, carrots & green onion. Amazing texture combos goin' on!
I served my rolls (and tossed my tofu) with a quick & easy dipping sauce:
Peanut Dipping Sauce
2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons peanut butter
1 Tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon chili garlic paste
2 Tablespoons chopped peanuts
It was, dare I say, perfect? This whole dish was! Who knew making fresh spring rolls at home was so easy. I can't wait to make these again! :D
Have a great night!
What are some foods you were scared to eat or cook with for the first time?
Do you usually order appetizers when you're out at restaurants? How about dessert?
I was pretty petrified to cook tofu for the first time. Now I can't live without it!!! And nah, I usually just go for the entree!

The Centre for Integrative Ecology was founded within Deakin University's School of Life and Environmental Sciences in 2010 – our vision is to address the fundamental question: how does life react to change on both short and long time scales?
The relevance and timeliness of this subject is overwhelmingly obvious: we are facing dramatic changes globally, with humans exerting an enormous environmental footprint on the planet, more so now than ever before. This creates an urgency for ecologists to identify ways to mollify anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Ironically, these impacts also provide enormous opportunities for ecologists and evolutionary biologists to see how these perturbations influence biota over both short and long-term periods.
We are investigating the mechanisms of immediate and evolutionary response to environmental changes, not just what conditions endanger some species during change. To this end we combine ecology, evolution and ecological physiology. As a result our research falls into three overlapping focal areas: (I) environmental change has a direct impact on individual organisms, which is notably studied in the fields of sensory ecology and animal physiology. (II) With some delay these responses lead to changes at the level of populations and communities. (III) Environmental change, however, not only results in immediate responses but also imparts variation in selection pressures, ultimately leading to long-term evolutionary change.
In order to increase our chances of achieving significant advances in the ecological sciences, the Centre for Integrative Ecology aims to stimulate and promote collaborative research activities between these three normally discrete fields of research. The SRC aims to eliminate traditional borders between conventional fields of ecological research by promoting an integrative, multi-faceted, interdisciplinary research approach.
The goal for our research is to foster new conceptual understanding that advances fundamental science while also making innovative contributions to applied conservation and natural resource management.

For 23-year-old Charlimar it was a dream come true, gyrating like Latin pop star Shakira on an outdoor stage before 2,000 cheering people, in the first government-sanctioned drag show in the communist country.
Organized by the daughter of Cuban President Raul Castro, Mariela, the unprecedented show in the central city that revolutionary hero Ernesto "Che" Guevara conquered in 1958, drew stares and stopped traffic last Monday under the watchful gaze of local police.
"I've been a drag queen for three-and-a-half years, but it's hard to believe I've been blessed at such a young age when others waited much longer to see their dream come true," said fashion designer Dayan Marin, better known as the spandex-wearing Charlimar.
Iroshi Santos, a 22-year-old who goes by stage name Omega, predicted "this show will make history and people will start understanding us."
The closing attraction of International Day Against Homophobia, the drag show, was a far cry from 1960s and 1970s Cuba, where homosexuals were herded into reeducation camps.
"It's significant that today we should celebrate peacefully … all of us together spilling our good energy," said Mariela Castro, director of National Sexual Education Center, which sponsored the event.
The president's daughter is a fervent supporter of gay marriage and gay adoption. In January, she asked the ruling Communist Party to end gay discrimination within its ranks.
In all, 17 drag queens performed on the outdoor stage outside the "El Mejunje" (The Mix) cultural center, long known as the underground Mecca of Cuba's transvestites.
Gay pride flags and signs lined the street: "Don't let prejudice rule you," "Don't limit your freedom nor limit anybody else's freedom," some of them read.
A huge banner draping the front of a building proclaimed: "Homosexuality is not dangerous; homophobia is."
"It's wonderful that we can share the street with everybody … without rejection or discrimination," said 24-year-old hairdresser Lazaro Diaz, stage name Zulema Anderson, who is "eagerly looking forward" to having a sex-change operation.
The risky procedure has been legal and free of charge in Cuba since 2008, as long as the patient gets the green light from doctors and psychologists.
Ramon Silverio, who founded El Mejunje 26 years ago, was thrilled about the spectacle outside his clubhouse.
"There are people of all ages, all beliefs and orientations. The whole world is here, and that's really important," he said.
Not everyone was pleased, however.
"Making this a public spectacle is shameful. This is Che's city," said a woman who declined to give her name.
But Carlos, a 47-year-old nurse enjoying the show with his boyfriend of 10 years, Jose, saw nothing wrong.
"I'm gay, but I adore Che and I'm convinced a man like him would have accepted us," he said.
After seeing his dream come true, Charlimar is now working on another aspiration: Revealing his true sexual preference to his mom.
"It's my biggest wish, but I know it'll take time before she understands me," he said.

5.4 Million Dead In DRC
The previous estimate of 3.9 million was from an earlier mortality study also done by the International Rescue Committee. The latest figure of 5.4 million results from a 5th survey of the country.
[International: Congo]
A new report says the number of people who've died in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo is much higher than previously thought. The report from the International Rescue committee says 5.4 million people have died since 1998. That's nearly one and a half million higher than previous estimates for the DRC.
Dr. Richard Brennan is director of the International Rescue Committee's global health programs and one of the lead author's of the mortality survey. From New York City, he spoke to VOA English to Africa Service reporter Joe De Capua about the findings.
"What we've been able to document with our most recent survey is that the mortality rates are elevated right across the Democratic Republic of Congo. And those rates are almost 60 percent higher than what we would expect for sub-Saharan as a whole. And those sustained elevations in mortality mean that even more than four years after the official end of war, 40,000 people are continuing to die every month in Congo," he says.
The previous estimate of 3.9 million was from an earlier mortality study also done by the International Rescue Committee. The latest figure of 5.4 million results from a 5th survey of the country. "So, essentially we're just updating our previous studies with this most recent survey," Brennan says.
Asked whether the DRC can be compared to other conflicts considering the high death toll, the IRC officials says, "We do estimate that this is arguably probably the deadliest crisis since the end of the Second World War. Having said that, there are more concerted efforts to try and better document mortality associated with conflicts and humanitarian crises."
Most of those who've died in the DRC conflict were not victims of violence,. In fact, less than one percent were. Instead, most fell victim to such things as malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition. Children have been hit hard. About half of the fatalities were children under the age of five, even though children make up only 19 percent of the population. Much of this can be blamed on the breakdown of health care systems and programs.
"When you do have ongoing conflict, when you do have bad guys walking around with guns, it can still cause major disruptions in what we would call the livelihoods of communities. Clinics don't work; vaccination programs don't operate; farmers can't work their land," he says.
Brennan says there's "no quick fix" and that a protracted conflict will require a protracted recovery.
The findings of the IRC survey are based on visits to 14,000 households in 35 districts of the DRC's 11 provinces.

Internet Freedom Threatened – by Stephen Lendman
Candidate Obama promised to "(s)upport the principle of network neutrality to preserve the benefits of open competition on the Internet."
As president, his FCC and congressional extremists threaten it. On May 12, Senator Amy Klobuchar (D. MN) introduced "S. 978: A bill to amend the criminal penalty provision for criminal infringement of a copyright, and for other purposes."
Referred to the Judiciary Committee, June 22 hearings were held. So far, no further action was taken. If enacted, loosely defined unlicensed online streaming becomes illegal, punishable by up to five years in prison.
On May 12, Senator Patrick Leahy (D. VT) introduced "S. 968: Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011 (PROTECT IP)." Referred to the Judiciary Committee, May 26 hearings were held. So far, no further action was taken.
Leahy calls it a measure to "protect the investment American companies make in developing brands and creating content and will protect the jobs associated with those investments."
In fact, it introduces new censorship provisions that violate First Amendment freedoms, without which all others are at risk.
If enacted, Internet service providers (ISPs), search engines, and other "information location tools" will have to block user access to sites accused of very loosely defined copyright infringement.
On February 6, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R. TX) introduced "SJ Res. 6: A joint resolution disapproving the rule submitted by the Federal Communications with respect to regulating the Internet and broadband industry practices."
The bill was referred to the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. So far, no further action was taken.
On January 5, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R. TN) introduced a similar House measure:
"HR 96: Internet Freedom Act: To prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from further regulating the Internet."
The bill was referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and its Subcommittee on Communications and Technology. So far, no further action was taken.
Reportedly, Obama's also considering a so-called "three strikes" censorship deal, requiring ISPs restrict bandwidth speed, limit web access, and be educated about copyright infringement to prevent piracy.
Candidate Obama made many promises. As president, he broke all major ones that matter, including protecting a free and open Internet. Instead, he made intellectual property protection a priority over Internet freedom.
On October 26, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) headlined, "Disastrous IP Legislation is Back – And It's Worse than Ever," saying:
On October 26, Rep. Lamar Smith (R. TX) introduced "HR 3261: Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA): To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of US property, and for other purposes"
Referred to the House Judiciary Committee, no further action so far was taken.
In enacted, SOPA will "not only sabotage the domain name system but would also threaten to effectively eliminate DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) safe harbors" that spur economic growth and online creativity.
Along with Leahy's PROTECT-IP Act, SOPA will force ISPs to "disappear certain websites, endangering Internet security."
On the pretext of IP enforcement, entire domains may be blacklisted. As a result, thousands will be jeopardized, even ones operating properly.
SOPA language claims no "restraint on free speech" when, in fact, it lawlessly abandons constitutional protections.
Worse still, "service providers (including hosting services)" would be pressured to "monitor and police their users' activities."
Failure to comply "enough" could result in blacklisting, "even without any kind of court hearing….The bill also requires search engines, payment providers (including credit card companies and PayPal), and advertising services" participate in shutting web sites.
Instead of complying with constitutional law and DMCA rules, copyright owners could use this law to shut down sites by cutting off access to their domain names, their "search engine hits," their advertising, and their "other financing even if safe harbor" protections apply.
New streaming provisions would cause further damage. EFF calls SOPA "the worst piece of IP legislation we've seen in the last decade – and that's saying something," given how much has been introduced.
Bush administration extremists waged war on Internet freedom. Much more happened under his successor pledging to protect it.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D. CA) expressed alarm, saying "I'm still reviewing (SOPA), but from what I've already read, this would mean the end of the Internet as we know it" if enacted.
Leahy's PROTECT-IP is a companion bill. An earlier version was introduced in the Senate last year. At the time, Lofgren said:
"I'm particularly concerned that it could set a precedent for further control and censorship of the Internet by foreign governments, and risk the fragmentation of the global domain name system. Many prominent human rights activists and Internet engineers have voiced these concerns, and they deserve serious consideration."
Influential high-tech companies like Google and Yahoo strongly oppose SOPA. Some critics call it the E-Parasite Act. House leaders promised to correct PROTECT-IP flaws. SOPA's are worse by creating ill-defined sweeping new liability standards designed to censor.
If enacted, media companies will have unprecedented new powers. Internet freedom will be jeopardized. So will a free and open society.
Its provisions will empower the Attorney General to cut off access and funding for alleged "parasite" foreign sites. Domestic ones are also affected.
An Internet czar would decide if US interests are harmed. Once judgments are made, copyright/trademark rules apply. Court orders would force providers and others to block "parasite" sites.
Broadly defined search engines, payment processors and advertisers would be forced to cut ties with them. Non-offenders will face enormous challenges to reverse actions taken. Prosecutors need only claim that the value of content allegedly affected exceeds $1,000.
Avoiding felony convictions would require defendants to prove they committed no violations. A high bar would impede success.
Unlike under DMCA rules, SOPA provides minimal redress for erroneously targeting web sites committing no infractions. Penalties would only apply if claimants "knowingly materially misrepresent." Guilt is defined as being "dedicated to theft of US property."
EFF believes SOPA is so deeply flawed it can't be fixed. Killing it is the only option.
On October 27, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) called "(d)omain-name filtering….a blunt instrument." PROTECT-IP "raise(s) serious problems." SOPA is worse.
"Gone is any serious effort to narrowly target clear 'bad actors' " in very destructive legislation. The bill imposes "sweeping new risks and responsibilities on websites offering legitimate online services…."
It also lets a "new club" challenge alleged copyright infringers. The bill "mark(s) a radical departure from core legal principles embedded in (DMCA rules and) secondary liability jurisprudence. Abandoning those principles would pose major risks for online innovation, free expression, and the open nature of the Internet."
SOPA damages "the entire Internet ecosystem." Copyright infringement concerns are legitimate. Congress, however, needs entirely new provisions to "avoid throwing out the baby with the bath water."
Net Neutrality is the last frontier of press freedom. SOPA, PROTECT-IP, others discussed above, and earlier ones introduced but not passed want to destroy it.
Post-9/11, police state and other destructive laws put America on a fast track toward tyranny. Compromising Internet freedom accelerates its.

Curriculum vitae
Rolf Henke joined the DLR Executive Board on 1 November 2010 and is responsible for Aeronautics research. Henke was born in Lüdenscheid in 1956 and studied Aerospace Technology between 1975 and 1980 at the Technical University of Berlin (Technische Universität Berlin; TU Berlin). In 1981, he received a scholarship in the form of a postgraduate bursary from the British Council for a research placement at the Cranfield Institute of Technology (now Cranfield University) in the UK.
From 1980 to 1985, with some interruptions, he worked as a research fellow at the TU Berlin Aerospace Institute. From 1985 to 2006, Henke worked at MBB (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, now Airbus Operations). From 1985 to 1992, he was Test Manager for Special Projects, with particular emphasis on laminar flow technology, and went on to take charge of all laminar flow programmes at Airbus between 1992 and 1998. This work also included flight-testing of the Airbus A320. Alongside his work at Airbus, Henke was a lecturer in Aerospace Engineering at Bremen University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Bremen) from 1992 to 1996. In addition, he worked as Airbus Transnational Coordinator for the 'Technology Area Aerodynamics' during this time. From 1998, he was in charge of the German national concept for Adaptive Wing Technology (Adaptive Flügeltechnologie; ADIF) before becoming Head of Airbus High-Lift Technology in 2000. From 2002 to 2006, he also headed the EU technology platform AWIATOR (Aircraft Wing with Advanced Technology Operation), and was involved in wing technology development, and was a Senior Project Manager and a member of the Airbus Research and Technology Management team. During this time, he was also a co-initiator and founding member of the Steering Committee at the German High-Lift Center (Lenkungskreises Hochauftriebszentrum Deutschland; LHD), set up to safeguard the German work share, and was also Head of the Cluster for Conceptual Aircraft Design (CCAD) at LHD.
In 2006, Henke became Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Technical University of Rhineland Westphalia (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule; RWTH) in Aachen and Head of the Institute of Aerospace Technology (Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrt; ILR) there. At RWTH Aachen, Henke was involved in design, evaluation and simulation capabilities as well asin the development of a facility for conducting field measurements on aircraft noise emissions. He founded new courses on aircraft design and aircraft systems technology and was a member of various bodies such as the Faculty Council, the Teaching Committee and the RWTH Ethics Commission.
Alongside his work at Airbus and at RWTH Aachen, Henke was also engaged in various other assignments. For example, from 2002 to 2006, he was spokesperson for Germany's national Fluid Mechanics Working Group (Strömungsmechanische Arbeitsgemeinschaft; STAB) and, since 2013, he is President and a Member of the Senate of the German Society for Aeronautics and Astronautics Lilienthal –Oberth (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt – Lilienthal-Oberth; DGLR). Since 2009, he has been a member of the Programme Committee of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences (ICAS) as well as a member of the Editorial Board of the Aeronautical Journals of the Council of European Aerospace Societies (CEAS).
Henke will continue to teach through a special professorship at RWTH Aachen.
