Common Problems: Pictures misbehaving in Word?
New series
Our Copy Paste series is not yet over. But I am starting another one based upon feedback from readers. In this series, I will cover common problems and solutions. But you already have many such sites for quick troubleshooting or Tips and Tricks. That is like spoon-feeding. This blog is not a quick fix.
Therefore, after giving the immediate solution, I will also explain the concept behind it and related features. This way, you learn something specific as well as something larger and generic. It amplifies the benefit and makes you more capable and confident.
Problem 1 – Text does not wrap around a Picture
When you insert a picture which is smaller than the width of the document it just stays there and space around it is wasted. If you type something before it, the picture moves. Very irritating! You want the text to wrap around nicely.
Quick Fix
- Click on the picture.
- Picture Tools menu appears in the Ribbon.
- Click on it. Choose Wrap Text dropdown
- Click Square
- That's it
If you realize that you need to set the Square option often, click on the last option Set as Default Layout. Now onwards, when you insert a picture, the desired layout is applied automatically.
- When a picture is added, it behaves as though it is text – because that is the default setting In Line With Text
- It basically means that the picture is treated as text (like a large font text).. Therefore it moves around when you edit the text before it
- There are two modes in which pictures (or other objects) can be treated by Word
- As text or as a floating object
- Clicking on SQUARE option makes it a floating object and also specifies how it interacts with the document text.
- Word is smart enough to wrap the text around
- If you move the picture, the text will readjust
- Try different modes and see how it behaves. You will learn the usage.
More Knowledge
Look at the dropdown.
First option is treat the Image as text.
Next section (from Square, Tight, Through, Top and Bottom ) controls how the text wraps around the text.
The third section (Behind or In Front) decides the object position with respect to the text. Behind text is like having a paper on which you put a sticker and then printed the text on it. In Front of text is like you printed the text and then put a sticker on top of it.
More options of course give you more sophisticated options. If you need to do precise arrangements in layouts like newsletters, professional reports, case studies, brochures – you must know every option there. You will be surprised to know how sophisticated it is.
Final option is obvious. If you have changed the settings and you like them, then set those as the default.

Copy paste – Part 14 – Paste Special in Word
Copy paste goes wrong often while working with multiple word documents. Here is how to get it right – every time.
Question. Do you use styles in Word?
If the answer is NO, then we need a quick primer. If you already use styles, skip this section. Remember one general rule about using Office efficiently.
Office is created to help us. We are not born to help Office!
Sounds funny? It is not. Read on …
When we create Word documents, there is regular content and then there are topics and subtopics (headings or sub-headings). We usually format these topics manually to make them look prominent. That is a complete waste of time. That is what I call "we are trying to help Word". Why? Because we think it is not capable of understanding what we want.
Trust me – just expect a little more from Word (and Office). You have no idea how much effort has gone into creating the product. Even the smallest and rarest inconvenience is taken care of.
To cut a long story short, just type the heading and click Heading 1 in the Styles dropdown in Home tab.
There are up to 9 levels of headings. If you use styles you get many benefits like automatic navigation pane, table of contents, automatic numbering, ability to rearrange document just with drag drop of headings, ability to create a presentation automatically and so on. I will write a separate series on Styles.
But for now just start using styles instead of manual formatting.
Copy paste in Word
Word works like this. There is the copied content (from source) and the destination where you are pasting it. If there is no style used in either, then it keeps the source formatting. If styles are used, it tries to merge the styles.
Copy paste without usage of styles
Now if you select and copy something from source to destination – what do you expect? It should adjust to the blue surroundings. Unfortunately, the default is – Keep Source Formatting. Therefore, this is what happens.
The answer is obvious if you have read the Copy Paste series of articles.
If not, notice that small little icon. Click on it.
Merge Formatting merges the paragraph level formatting and keeps the character level formatting (Bold, Italic, etc is applied and remembered at character level).
Choosing Keep Text Only (A) achieves the desired effect because it only pastes the raw text so that the local formatting is fully applied.
This is how it works – even across documents where styles are not used.
Remember that you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL T.
Copy pasting when styles are used
This is relevant only while copy-pasting across different documents.
If source style is different than destination style, then the default option is
Use Destination Style. The logic is simple – the pasted text looks uniform.
The source Heading 1 style (brown) was adjusted to match
the destination Heading 1 style (blue). Notice that the formatting manually applied to the paragraph was retained. You will have to handle that separately.
If you want you can choose other options Keep Source Styles, Merge Formatting, Keep Text Only. But in case of style conflict, the default option works best.
Setting default paste
Word is a very sophisticated word-processor. Therefore, it provides very granular control over copy paste. Click the Set Default Paste… option and see for yourself.
There are four possible options. You can change the settings independently. I suggest that you try changing the first two options to Keep Text Only if you do lot of cross-document copy paste without using styles. The third and fourth option defaults are usually appropriate.
Try how it impacts your copy paste effectiveness. If it is not satisfactory, you can tweak the settings as required.
For IT professionals
I have not checked this personally. But I think you can set these defaults using group policy for Office 2013. Yes. In case you have not noticed it, Office has been providing full Group Policy integration using ADM files since 2003. High time you explored and used it to improve efficiency. Will write an article about it later.
In the next article I will discuss more Copy Paste settings available in Word
Copy Paste – Part 13 – A better shortcut for Paste Special
Most common ways of invoking Paste Special are:
- Alt E S keyboard shortcut
This was the older (2003 or before) version shortcut – Alt E = Edit Menu, S was the hotkey for Paste Special
- Open the dropdown of Paste in Home tab in the ribbon and choose Paste Special
- Right click – Paste Special
A better shortcut
Although all these methods work, Microsoft added a NEW shortcut since Office 2007. Most people don't discover it. The shortcut is
Why should you use this shortcut?
The reason is simple. Paste Special is a variation of Paste. Paste shortcut is CTRL V. For Paste Special CTRL ALT V is more intuitive. It is definitely better than using mouse anyway.
But there is more to it.
Compare the actual act of pressing the older shortcut –
On the fact of it, there are three keys to be pressed in either case. So what is the difference?
Let me show you the difference using a keyboard layout.
You try pressing Alt E S using left hand and see the position of fingers.
Now compare it with CTRL V and CTRL ALT V
Usually we press CTRL key using little finger and V using index finger. The middle finger is anyway resting near ALT key. Look at the photo on left side – I have intentionally flexed the middle finger to expose the Alt key.
You just have to decide is it Paste or Paste Special at the last moment. If it is paste, don't press the middle finger, if it is paste special – just press the middle finger (right side photo)
Another alternative is little finger for Ctrl, Index finger for V and thumb for Alt – which is also convenient. You try it out yourself and choose the method which is most comfortable to you.
This is ergonomics!
Imagine the amount of effort the Office team is taking to make our life easier and healthier… it is just that we simply don't notice these things and therefore are not able to utilize the products effectively.
By the way, the shortcut works across ALL Office products. Including Project and Visio.
No Paste Special option in OneNote. Why?
It does not work for OneNote because OneNote does not have Paste Special functionality at all. It does not mean that you cannot choose the paste format in OneNote. It does offer four paste options as expected:
In that case, the question is – why did Microsoft not choose a default format for paste and provide Paste Special in OneNote (like all other products)? Just to avoid a Paste Special dialog? That does not sound like a good reason.
This is my guess but I think that is the logical explanation.
The reason OneNote does not have two separate options – Paste and Paste Special – because :
- OneNote is used for various types of copy paste from diverse sources. And it is a comparatively new product – and most people don't even know that it exists – even if they have it installed! Therefore, Microsoft did not / could not finalize a default format based upon common user behavior pattern.
- If you have started right clicking instead of Paste or Paste Special – as recommended in my earlier article, you will realize that the demarcation between paste and paste special is simply irrelevant.
Next article
Although the Copy Paste series is far from over, I will deviate from it and show you how to find useful keyboard shortcuts and reduce the damage to your wrist and tendons (which can happen due to excessive usage of mouse, among other things).
Copy Paste – Part 12 – Reordering Thoughts and Content
The need
We often write content in the order in which it comes to our mind. We then tend to reorder it by copy pasting it. There is a better method.
Just remember these very powerful shortcuts
Shift Alt Up / Down Arrow
Whenever you write text with paragraphs, in any Office product, you can use the Shift Alt Up and Down arrows to move it up or down.
This works with:
- Word paragraphs. DO NOT select the paragraph. Just click inside and use the shortcut
- Word Tables – reordering table rows is extremely painful if done manually. Try this shortcut and you will curse yourself for not knowing it for so many years!
- Word Outline view to reorder entire Headings or Sub-headings (provided these are collapsed)
- PowerPoint bullets
- PowerPoint SmartArt Text Editor
- Outlook (because it uses Word as the editor)
- OneNote
- It does NOT work with PowerPoint tables. Because these are more of graphical elements and not formal tables.
- Excel is a grid – therefore this method does not in Excel as well.
Shift Alt Right and Left Arrow
This is even more powerful.
In case of Word, by pressing Shift Alt Left arrow, you actually promote the heading style – or apply Heading1 Style.
If you use Shift Alt Right arrow, it demotes the style (and outline level)
This is the fastest way of creating documents with styles. No need to click on styles or use keyboard shortcuts which are more complex (Ctrl Alt 1 2 or 3).
Like Word, it can be used for promoting and demoting bullets.
Usually to create sub-level bullets we use TAB key. But that works just after a fresh new bullet is added. If you are somewhere in the middle of a paragraph, pressing TAB key will actually insert a tab and increase spacing.
However, Shift Alt Left / Right arrows work irrespective of where your cursor is.
Now the most powerful usage in PowerPoint is to edit hierarchical information in SmartArt Editor. Try to insert a SmartArt of type – Hierarchy – choose some Org Chart and then go to the editor. You can easily promote or demote items very quickly using this shortcut key.
Try these simple yet powerful shortcuts. Let me know your feedback. If you find more uses for this shortcut, do let me know.
Copy Paste – Part 11 – Why do we need 24 clipboards?
In the earlier post, we saw how to get up to 24 clipboards. But why would you need so many of them?
On the face of it, this sounds like an overkill. We are happily using ONE clipboard for years. So it is looks like a useless feature.
Key Learning: There is nothing like a useless feature
This is a very important thing to remember. Adding a feature is a very complex and costly process. Microsoft is not going to add a new feature if it was not serving any purpose.
Those of you who understand programming know that behind every feature there is a need, a problem or a use case. Unfortunately, when you use a product developed by someone else, the feature is visible first and the underlying need may not be apparent.
So what do we do? We do it in two steps.
First, we learn the functionality – what does it do? In this case we already know that. At this stage you know the technical feature. But that is NOT called knowledge. That is partial knowledge.
The next step is more important. You must find the underlying need or problem it is trying to address. Why do you care? Simple! Because it may be your need. If you do not discover the need, you may never use the feature in spite of understanding how it works technically.
Finding your needs behind every feature is called Applied Learning!
Of course, there may will be features which you do not need in your current context. But in any case, if you know when they are useful, you will be able to use them if the need arises in future.
Multiple Clipboards: Usage Scenarios
Word: Executive Summary
Executive Summary contains key sentences which summarize details from the document. We write Executive Summary AFTER the rest of the document is created. Here is how you can do it faster.
- Write the document
- Activate Office Clipboard
- Move through the document, select key sentences and copy
- Continue the process till end of the document (or 24 clipboards)
- Go to Executive Summary and choose Paste All
- Each copy will be a separate paragraph
- If you want to combine these paragraphs into one paragraph, follow this sub-task
- Select all the Executive Summary
- Press Ctrl H (Find – Replace)
- Type ^p^p in the Find textbox
- Type ^p in the Replace textbox
- Click Replace All
- We will discuss how this works in a separate article (Word Find and Replace is a treasure. Very powerful, but very rarely used appropriately)
- Now your Executive Summary is ready
Excel: Combine Tabular Data
Very often we get tabular data from multiple files or sheets (regions, locations, months,etc). How do you combine this into a single master data sheet?
Copy – Paste to Master, Copy – Paste to Master, Copy – Paste to Master and so on.
Now you know what to do
- Enable Clipboard
- Copy – Copy – Copy
- Go to destination
- Paste ALL
PowerPoint: Collect Pictures and arrange them using SmartArt (Picture Layout)
This is a very powerful method. Let us say you are browsing for various products and you want to capture many images and put them on one slide. Another scenario would be logos of your customers.
Here is how you do it.
- Start PowerPoint
- Activate Clipboard
- Go to browser and copy various images as required. Right click the image and choose Copy (CTRL C will not work here as it is a web page and the focus may be ambiguous)
- In PowerPoint add a new slide
- Choose Paste All
- Unfortunately that does not solve your problem
- All images will be overlapping one another
- But don't worry. PowerPoint knows your problems.
- While all the pictures are selected, just choose Picture Tools – Picture Layout and choose a layout you want. (You can hover mouse over each to temporarily draw the picture layout and choose the best one. You can also do it later)
- Now, depending upon the overall area occupied by all selected pictures, PowerPoint will layout the pictures automatically
- Resize the area as desired
- Now it is a SmartArt object
- You can click on Design and change the layout if needed
- Finally, you will need to add captions for each picture
- DO NOT click in the textboxes to add them.. there is a small edit arrow (double or single arrow) on the left margin of the SmartArt bounding box
- Click that and add titles
Can you think of more usage scenarios?
If you find more scenarios, please post them here. I will also learn something new.

There is more to copy paste and the series is not ending any time soon. But I am sure you want some variation. So next article will be something different. We will continue the Copy Paste series later.
Copy Paste – Part 10 – How to get 24 clipboards
The limitation
All of us know that there is only ONE clipboard. WRONG! There are 24 of them if you use Word, Excel or PowerPoint.
When you copy something, whatever was already there in the clipboard gets overwritten. If you want to change that behavior you must activate these 24 clipboards.
Activating 24 clipboards
It is simpler than you think. Just click on that unseen, unnoticed yet extremely powerful arrow at the corner. Technically these guys are called Dialog Launchers. Why? Because these activate the dialog related to the name written next to it.
Just click on it and a new pane (docked window) will open on the left side of the application.
This shows the clipboard contents. If the clipboard has something in it, it will be shown. If not, the pane will be empty.
Now onwards, whenever you copy something, it will accumulate – it will NOT overwrite the existing clipboard.
Whenever you copy, notice what happens at the bottom right side of the screen – it shows you a small popup which counts how many clipboards are colledted (1 of 24, 7 of 24 and so on).
Try this NOW
- Open any Word Document
- Open the Office Clipboard
- Select a paragraph (triple click selects a paragraph, in case you did not know)
- Copy it
- Notice that it is shown in the clipboard
- Now open an Excel file
- Copy some data
- We have not opened the Clipboard in Excel, but still it is active
- You will see a notification at the bottom right of the screen (notification area)
- Now open some web page
- Copy something
- Now go to File Explorer and copy a file
- If you feel like, open some non-Office products and copy something
- Finally go to Word
- You will notice that all these copied items are there
- Now open PowerPoint – notice that we have not copied anything from PowerPoint
- Open the Clipboard in PowerPoint
- Notice that all the clipboards are available in PowerPoint as well
- Go back to Word
- Click on each item to paste it
- Or choose Paste All and see that all the items are pasted in the order in which these were copied
- Amazing! Is it not?
More details
Some kind of copying cannot be added to the clipboard – like copying files. In that case the popup will indicate the problem.
Notice the options
There are a few options. I will discuss these options in the next articles. But why don't you figure it out yourself, in the mean time.
I will also show you practical usage scenarios of this powerful feature.
Before you ask, it has been there for many years. It is just that nobody noticed it – like thousands of others!
Copy Paste – Part 8 – Opening a collateral file during a presentation
The Location
Writing this blog sitting under this beautiful Auckland Sky Tower… Lovely weather.
The need
- Let us say you are presenting sales performance by month
- In a particular month, the sales is very low
- Someone asks you to show details of the transactions
- You have to now open the original Excel file which contains the raw data.
- How do you do it?
- You have to stop the presentation, open Explorer and figure out where the file is
- Many things are against you right now:
- You are under stress… You may not find the file or find an outdated version
Worse still, you may open some unwanted folder
Common mistake: Stuffing raw data into PowerPoint
We want to avoid such trouble during a presentation. Therefore, we try to solve the problem by trying to copy pasting the raw data into PowerPoint. Unfortunately, large amount of data cannot fit into the limited space available on the slide.
This is not really a limitation of PowerPoint. It is just that you are using the wrong approach. Here is the correct way…
The solution: Be Prepared
When you suspect that someone may question you on your summary data, you need to be prepared. How do you do that? You already know.
First step is to get the context of the original file into the slide.
Use Paste Link, Embed or Insert Object
In either case, WHILE EDITING the presentation, you can write click on the pasted object and open the Excel file. What we really want is to have the same ability DURING THE PRESENTATION.
To understand how it is done, we need a small detour.
PowerPoint Presentation = Trigger + Action
I will cover this in detail in another article. But here is the shorter version.
A presentation contains slides. Each slide has various shapes and objects on it. When you run the presentation – PowerPoint shows the first slide and waits. When you click it goes to next slide … again waits … then you click – next slide … and so on till you end the presentation.
Is this a problem in word as well?
The CLICK is called the TRIGGER and MOVING TO NEXT SLIDE is the ACTION. In our case when we click on the slide containing the summary data, it simply goes to the next slide. If you right click, the menu now shows presentation related controls. The open worksheet command is missing.
This is the time we change the default behavior of PowerPoint and ask it perform a DIFFERENT ACTION when we click on the Summary object. How to do that?
- Click on the Excel object (it could be Paste Link or Embedded or Inserted Object icon)
- Open Insert tab on the ribbon and choose ACTION
- As you can see the default action is DO NOTHING (which means do nothing special – do the default action – which is going to the next slide)
- Choose Object action and select OPEN
- Click Ok
Now run the presentation and see what happens. On this slide, if you click anywhere outside the Excel data, it will just go the new slide as expected.
However when you move the mouse cursor over the Excel data, the cursor shape changes to indicate that it is a hyperlink. Click on it to open the Excel file.
Show the details and then press ALT TAB to come back to the presentation. It is still running undisturbed.
Next article: PowerPoint and Psychology
Although this method works with inserted objects, there is a practical problem there. In fact there is a psychological problem.
What is the problem?
Inserted Object is shown as an icon. Therefore, your audience knows that you have a collateral file. So even if they have no reason to trouble you, they may just ask you to show the file. You don't want that to happen. Why ask for unnecessary trouble?
We will handle that interesting situation in the next article.
Copy Paste – Part 7 – Insert Object
Please read the Intro post and the Embedding post before reading this article.
Insert Object embeds an existing file or new file into your document. In that sense it is like Embedding – which we discussed in the previous post. So what is the difference?
The starting point is different. In case of Embedding we first open the source document, highlight some portion of it and then paste it into destination while choosing EMBED option.
In case of Insert Object, we first go to the destination and then choose the ENTIRE FILE to be embedded. Therefore, we do not get any control over which part of the inserted file will be shown after it is added to the destination.
If you choose an existing Excel file and Insert it into PowerPoint it tries to show the contents of the Excel file in PowerPoint. Excel file can contain many worksheets. Which worksheet to show? PowerPoint does not know that because we never mentioned that – we just selected the file to insert. Therefore, PowerPoint shows you the contents of the sheet which was active when the Excel file was closed the last time.
If this sheet happens to have large amount of data, the Insert Object command may take a very long time to complete and the results will be very deplorable.
The solution
The solution is simple. We just need to specify that there is no need to show anything from the inserted file. Just show it as an icon. That option is shown in the Insert Object dialog itself :
Now the Inserted file looks like this.
It is a good idea to change that default description to something more business context specific. Click on change icon and change the title. Also note that there are many icons available. Choose the one which suits the content type.
File size
File size does increase as much as the original size of the file. While embedding files, make sure you are choosing the new file formats. If you embed older formats (XLS, PPT, DOC), the file size will be much larger.
Note that you can use any file in the Insert Object dialog. It need not be Office document. It could be any type of document.
Resizing the embedded Icon
The default size of the icon is very small. If required, you must manually increase the size of the icon to make it visible during the presentation.
Remember, if you make the icon visible enough, you are also taking a risk. Anyone from audience may ask you to show the contents of the file and then you must do so.
In fact that is the topic of our next article:
Next Post: Problem and Solution
You are presenting some summarized data – say – sales performance by month
- In a particular month, the sales is very low
- Someone asks you to show details of the transactions
- You have to now open the original Excel file
- You have to stop the presentation, open Explorer and figure out where the file is
- You are under stress
- You may not find the file, find an outdated version, open some unwanted folder… all sorts of things can and will go wrong
Do you want an easier solution?
Now that we know Paste Link, Embed and Insert Object, there is an easy solution. If you think you may have to show details during the presentation, use one of these approaches to make sure that you have the file either linked or embedded.
Now the question is – how to tell PowerPoint to open the file – ON DEMAND?
That is what we will discuss in the next article.
Copy Paste – Part 6 – Embedding
In the previous post, we saw how linking of files works. Now let us understand what Embedding means.
We will continue with the same scenario to simplify things. You have copied some data from Excel. Now you paste it into PowerPoint and choose the EMBED option.
It is still showing the Excel range you copied. It behaves like a picture if you try to resize it. But it actually made a copy of the ENTIRE EXCEL FILE and stuffed it into your PowerPoint presentation.
If the original Excel file was, say, 20 MB in size, the presentation size will also grow by 20 MB.
When to Embed?
If you want to package the Excel file with PowerPoint presentation, then this is the best option. The benefit is, you can still show specific summary data on the slide.
If you want to send the presentation with collaterals – this is the best way.
How to open the embedded file?
While editing the presentation, just right click on the object – Choose Worksheet Object and Select Open.
DO NOT choose EDIT. If you do, it tries to give you Excel editing capabilities in the small area in which you have pasted the data. The ribbon automatically changes to Excel options rather than PowerPoint options. This is called in-place editing. But most people get confused with it. If you want to expand the range of selection, this is a good option to use.
In either case, the Excel file which it opens is NOT the original file. It will have a name like worksheet in Presentation3. This file now lives inside the presentation (in geek language, it is called OLE File System).
Removing the embedded file
For any reason, if you feel that you should not have embedded the file, how to manage the situation? I am sure you will know this answer if you have read all the Copy Paste Series posts.
Copy the Embedded object, Paste it as Picture and delete the original embedded object!
Next post
We will explore the Insert Object feature in the next post. It is similar to Embed but with a small difference. In fact Insert Object and Embed are interchangeable!

The international network for district energy, promoting sustainable heating and cooling in Europe and beyond.
The International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Renewable Energy Policy Network for the 21st Century (REN21) published their first joint report on Renewable Energy Policies. The report outlines the options available to policy makers to support the development of renewables. An updated policy classification and terminology provides a global reference for policy instruments. The final chapter, "The Way Forward" proposes a holistic approach for policy making.
Policy frameworks need to take a systems approach with more fully integrated policies across sectors if we are serious about achieving the energy transition. To do this:
Renewables have experienced a remarkable evolution over the past decade now forming the cutting edge –with energy efficiency– of a global energy transition. The growth in the deployment of renewable energy technologies now outpaces that of any other energy source.
But progress has not been homogenous. Uneven uptake, barriers ranging from technology and financial risks, and integration challenges in markets with high shares of renewables persist.

With its state-of-the-art robotics, Magal Engineering's factory in the colorless outskirts of this busy commercial town west of London is an important component of Britain's booming car industry, churning out millions of sophisticated vehicle parts every year.
Yet as Britain prepares to leave the European Union, Magal is having to rethink its operations here.
The company has sister factories in France and Germany, imports components from them to assemble in Reading, and sends many finished products back across the English Channel — all with minimal paperwork and no tariffs.
Britain's departure from the European Union could change all that, ending the tariff-free trade that Magal enjoys, potentially disrupting the hiring of crucial engineers from abroad and requiring new hires to keep up with the added paperwork.
Britain's exit is a "big worry" and ideally would be stopped, says Gamil Magal, Magal Engineering's chief executive. But as a realist, he is preparing to live with it. That means suspending investment in Britain and contemplating production cuts here, even as the company continues to put money into France.
With Britain, the policy is "wait and see," Mr. Magal said, speaking in his office above this bustling factory in a building that once produced World War II aircraft.
Although Britain's economy has so far not suffered the economic blowback that many predicted would follow the vote in a referendum last year to quit the bloc, British companies that import or export goods and services are anxiously assessing the potential costs of departure.
Complicating matters is continuing uncertainty over the terms of departure that the government wants to negotiate. Prime Minister Theresa May plans to start two years of formal talks with the European Union on Britain's withdrawal, widely known as Brexit, by the end of March, and on Tuesday she is expected to give some more detail about her objectives.
"We don't know what is going to happen, the government doesn't know what is going to happen, and I am not sure that the government even knows what it is asking for," said David Bailey, professor of industrial strategy at Aston University.
There are signs that British-based companies might be taking action already, ahead of the actual Brexit. In a survey of 233 financial services companies published in The Sunday Times of London last week, 39 said they would reduce staffing because of the Brexit vote, and half of that number had already started to do so.
For British banks, a big worry is whether they will able to continue offering services to clients across the bloc.
"Most international banks now have project teams working out which operations they need to move to ensure they can continue serving customers, the date by which this must happen, and how best to do it," Anthony Browne, the chief executive of the British Bankers Association, wrote in The Observer last year. "Their hands are quivering over the relocate button," he added.
Sectors like agriculture, hospitality and construction are worried about labor. They all rely heavily on workers from Southern or Eastern Europe, whose right to employment here may be curbed to achieve Mrs. May's objective of reducing immigration.
Mrs. May has not said explicitly whether she wants Britain to remain in Europe's Customs Union, which provides for tariff-free trade across the 28-nation bloc, and includes some nonmembers like Turkey. Nor has she detailed what kind of relationship she wants with the European Union's single market, which aims to eliminate nontariff barriers and to forge a single services market. But she said in a recent interview that when Britain quits the union, it will not be keeping "bits" of its membership, suggesting that she will be seeking something closer to a clean break, or "hard Brexit." And with the clock now ticking toward a planned departure from the union in 2019, companies are already having to contemplate that outcome, even before Ms. May lays out her intentions on Tuesday.
For Mr. Magal, the threat of trade tariffs is forcing him to rethink the structure of his business. The company assembles thermostatic control units for car manufacturers, including Jaguar Land Rover in Britain and Daimler in Germany.
Tariffs could add anything up to 10 percent to the price of some of his products, an increase he can neither afford to absorb nor pass on. "We don't make 10 percent profit — that's for sure," he said, adding, "We won't be able to increase the price, because the customer will say, 'We will buy from the competition.' "
The logic is to reduce the amount of products that are made in Britain for continental Europe, and vice versa. Mr. Magal said that European clients were asking him to consider moving production.
"With all the new projects we are getting now from Europe, they are saying, 'Why can't you put it in your plant in Europe? Why do you need to do it in the U.K.?' " he said.
If there is a hard Brexit, as seems increasingly likely, some production might be shifted to Britain from the Continent to serve the British market, but more would shift the other way, Mr. Magal said, adding that some parts could be made only in Germany.
It is unclear what the impact will be on the Reading factory and its 230 jobs, or on another British factory that employs about 100 people.
Mr. Magal is also worried about recruiting engineers, who are in short supply in Britain, if new immigration restrictions are put in place. And he thinks he may have to hire more administrative staff to deal with possible tariffs and other red tape.
British car manufacturing, which has been booming in recent years after a period of decline, is particularly vulnerable to tariffs. Key components flow back and forth across the English Channel before a car is built, and then the assembled vehicle itself is often exported. That could mean paying tariffs repeatedly at different stages along the way.
Around three-quarters of the 1.6 million vehicles built in Britain in 2015 were sold abroad; about 57 percent of British car exports go to the European Union.
Last year, Gareth Jones, president of Britain's Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, called for continued "membership of the single market," and the ability to trade "free from barriers and red tape." He appealed to the government, "Don't screw it up!"
British officials say, however, that the country imports more vehicles from the European Union (800,000 a year from Germany alone) than it exports to it, so would be a net beneficiary, in revenue terms, from a tariff war.
Yet Germany has a bigger economic interest in keeping the 27 other European Union nations together in a single market than it does in cutting Britain a favorable deal that would undermine that market. A hard-fought negotiation seems inevitable.
And the longer Brexit uncertainty prevails, the less attractive Britain is likely to be for many manufacturers, including those from the auto industry.
"The value chain crosses borders numerous times, so anything that gets in the way — tariff or nontariff barriers — is likely to mean less investment," Mr. Bailey said.

Trainer Jillian Michaels is leaving The Biggest Loser to have a kid, two decisions she says were inspired by her time on her NBC spin-off Losing it with Jillian, Her replacement has been hired and will appear on the 11th season with Jillian, which will be her last. Jillian previously quit the show over its editing and fake drama; that was after the second season, and she returned for the fourth.
Jillian revealed this news on Twitter, where she wrote, "I want to take a year off TV and focus on becoming a mommy and doing more charity work." Jillian also wrote, "Shooting Losing It also had big impact on me. Living with kids I saw first hand what I was missing."
In May, Jillian, who previously revealed she's bisexual, said in an interview with MomLogic that "I learned very early on that I have endometriosis and polycystic ovaries. I was always told that fertility would/could be a problem for me. … I don't believe in using synthetic hormones. In order to get pregnant, I know it would require surgery. For me, it becomes a sort of 'I can't handle doing that.' I've always just accepted that this is my thing, and this must mean I was meant to adopt, and that's OK. But who knows — there might be advances in science for women with endometriosis, so I'll never say never. But, for now, I plan to adopt."
She will stay on the show, she wrote, "to finish out my contract," and said her replacement has been hired.

Rainy Day Activities
Rainy Day Activities
Nothing is worse than a rainy day to dampen the spirits of your little ones, especially on summer vacation! So, whip out some fun science activities to boost the spirits!
Make your own acid base indicator: Many of you have heard of purple cabbage juice—put cabbage pieces in a blender with some water—chop, pour off the juice—test with baking soda (base) or vinegar (acid)—observe the color changes.
Try some others—same procedure as above:
Purple grapes, Petunia flowers (especially purple ones) Try other foods or flowers that have a lot of pigment (blueberries, black berries, cherries, other purple flowers, herb teas?). Let me know your results!!
For more information: http://scienceblogs.com/ethicsandscience/2008/09/26/after-school-experiment-make-y/ , http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiments/red-cabbage-chemistry/ , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e13B0zfr0cU
Make a density column (or rainbow column): My granddaughters love rainbows, which make this a great activity for a rainy day! Take a bud vase or any other tall, clear cylinder you might have in your kitchen, or an empty plastic water bottle. Add liquids (the same amount) of different densities (pour slowly). Some liquids to try are honey, white Karo syrup, dish detergent, milk, water, and cooking oil to make the column. If you add food coloring to any of the liquids, mix it with them before pouring into the column. Then add various small objects from the kitchen, and have the kids predict if and where they will float (cork, paper clip, a screw or nut, toothpick, peppercorns, pop corn kernels, a plastic bead, a small piece of chalk, a small piece of crayon, a ping-pong ball etc.). What does this tell you?
For more information: http://www.hometrainingtools.com/a/density-column-science-project/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CDkJuo_LYs, http://www.ehow.com/how_10031828_make-layer-density-bottle.html
Penny Boats: If you have saved any empty ice cream buckets, or have something similar, now is the time to get them out! Give your little ones a piece of aluminum foil, and ask them to create a boat to hold the most pennies. You might preface this activity by asking them to think about boats, and what shape are the ones that carry the most cargo? Once the boats are constructed, have them place the boat in the water and add pennies one at a time until the boat sinks. Count the pennies to see whose boat supported the most. Repeat with a different design. (Flat barges tend to hold the most; canoes don't work very well, as there are no support ribs like a normal canoe would have. What if you did add ribs with a piece of spaghetti? )

Over the last six months there has been some creatively steaming activity in Novi Sad invloving a whole group of musicians/artists. Six music albums of original music were recorded, five of which i took part in. Few artists did the album covers then. We called the whole thing Horz, kind of like a music label but hoping perhaps to involve different forms of creative expression… we'll see where it goes.
There is some truly great music to hear, if you hop onto www.horz.co – there is something peculiar for everyone with a bit of an adventurous music taste.
Thanks to all involved in making this happen.

Marty Duda's artist of the week: Florence + The Machine
London-born Florence Welch has become an artist to be reckoned with ever since the release of her debut album, 'Lungs', in 2009. Welch is a powerful vocalist who has captured the hearts and minds of millions of adoring fans with her dramatic, often bombastic, songs. After taking a year-long sabbatical, Florence + The Machine return with their third studio album, which Florence describes as "less grand and more vulnerable". 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' has just been released and Florence + The Machine have been frequent visitors to NZ. No doubt they will be back soon.

A few weeks ago, I was thrilled to meet Thierry Wasser, "nose" and Exclusive Perfumer for Guerlain, creator of so many unforgettable scents (literally, too many to list here) and the genius behind the brand's latest La Petite Robe Noire fragrance. As charming and funny as he is talented (seriously, we were doubled over laughing at times), this special event was held at Montréal's Centre des Sciences and the evening featured several launches: the latest iteration for La Petite Robe Noire, Eau de Parfum Intense, along with new shades for both nails and lips in the La Petite Robe Noire Maquillage collection.
After briefing us about the inspiration behind this latest fragrance, we were then treated to an exclusive private fashion show featuring a variety of gorgeous black dresses (literally 'la petite robe noire', natch) with the makeup looks created by über-talent and Guerlain's International Makeup Artist, Maxime Poulin. The breakdown (all using Guerlain products):
- Skin: prepped with L'Or Primer, followed by Parure Gold Foundation & Precious Light Illuminator
- Face: Terracotta Classique under cheekbones (to create soft definition), a touch of Morning Rose Blush on the apples of the cheeks and Meteorites Pearls used in the centre of the face and on tops of cheekbones for added radiance
- Brows: kept soft with just a few pencil strokes, where needed
Eyes (three different looks):
- Sultry Smokey: using an upcoming Fall palette and Khol Kajal as a base, with the deepest smokey look using the most pigmented black blended even above the crease, black pencil along the lower lash line and layers of Maxi Lash mascara.
- Iconic: using upcoming new products with the lid kept 'clean' and the focus on the sharp liner
- Deconstructed: Coloured liner used both on top and bottom lash lines, half-way and extended far out with blue or purple for a unique fun look
- Lips: the 20 dresses seen in the show were all accessorized with a different La Petite Robe Noire lipstick and nail shade in unexpected mix & match ways
The show closed with the La Petite Robe Noire bride and Thierry Wasser riding off into the sunset (well, not really… just backstage) but the party continued and I was able to spend some quality time with my 'Guerlain Family', as I think of them all.
A review with swatches of the upcoming La Petite Robe Noire lacquer shade in Denim Jacket is at the end of the post — keep scrolling!

How could I pass up an opportunity to play the 'La Petite Robe Noire girl' with the creator of the fragrance?!
008 Denim Jacket Deliciously Shiny Nail Colour (CAN $27.00) | A true cornflower blue shade in a luxurious crème formula that can be summed up in one word: PERFECTION. With an excellent flow, density and opacity, this beauty is also self-levelling in application, comes to a glossy finish and is non-staining upon removal. As if all that weren't enough, there's the added bonus of it being scented with the La Petite Robe Noire fragrance, coming through once the polish has fully dried and which should last easily 48+ hours, although it can be revived with a layer of the matching top coat.
For those unfamiliar with Guerlain lacquers, you should know that their brush is one of my all time favourites; dense but slightly chiselled so that it splayed beautifully and evenly along the nail, making application effortless and a total pleasure.
Coats: 2, plus top coat

Maddy: Dancer
Bronx, NY
What Moves You?
"Wow. Good question. Oh boy. I just enjoy it. It sets me free. It helps me relax. I put music on at home and I'm just dancing. Just one of those things. If I get couped up or need an escape….I'm very within myself but dancing makes me free."
The joy of dancing washes away fears, releases tension, introduces happiness, and can be a starting point for self- awareness. These are the reasons I went into "dance" as a career and why I have so enjoyed teaching it to the seniors at PSS Davidson. When Maddy came into class (I think she was the first one actually!), she brought in her big spirit and easy temperament. She has been a wonderful advocate for how special and important movement is. She's such a treasure and I'm so happy to feature her this week on the blog. Here's to Maddy!

Robot Chicken: Star Wars
By John Latchem | Posted: 26 Mar 2008
Cartoon Network's Adult Swim hopes to put some 'Star Wars'-sized marketing muscle behind its upcoming DVD release of Robot Chicken: Star Wars. For that reason, Warner Home Video has pushed the street date to July 22 to coincide not only with the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con International July 24-27, but also the Aug. 15 theatrical release of the CG-animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
"We think 'Robot Chicken' fans are going to buy this," said Erik Resnick, senior director of Cartoon Network Enterprises. "We want to expand that circle to include 'Star Wars' fans as well. We're trying to be everywhere 'Star Wars' fans will be."
The half-hour special, which debuted on Cartoon Network last year, features stop-motion animated parodies of the "Star Wars" movies and pop-culture phenomenon, in the style of the "Robot Chicken" sketch-comedy show created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, and co-written by Breckin Meyer.
Green won an Annie Award for Directing in an Animated TV Production for the episode.Voice cameos include Conan O'Brien, Malcolm McDowell, Hulk Hogan, James Van Der Beek, Robert Smigel, Donald Faison, Abraham Benrubi, Joey Fatone, "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, and even "Star Wars" creator George Lucas.
"We're working really closely with Lucasfilm," Resnick said. "The DVD is advertised on the home page of the [StarWars.com] Web site."
The $14.97 DVD includes two hours of bonus material, including commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, alternate audio tracks, deleted scenes and panel discussions.
"The special features go on and on and on," Resnick said. "Seth's name isn't just on it as an executive producer. He knows about every aspect of what goes into making the show. Those guys put so much thought into them."
Resnick has reason to be optimistic about the potential success of Robot Chicken: Star Wars. Three years after the last live-action "Star Wars" film, the franchise remains popular. The Aug. 15 Clone Wars movie kicks off a new animated series on Cartoon Network. And a DVD of a special "Family Guy" episode spoofing the original "Star Wars" film earned the No. 1 sales spot the week it was released in January.
"'Family Guy' is a phenomenon," Resnick said. "But 'Robot Chicken' has a different place in the market. It's more niche."
Resnick hopes the wealth of bonus materials and inexpensive price will entice "Star Wars" fans who aren't already familiar with the material.
The DVD promotional tour kicked off with the Wizard World Los Angeles convention in March, and continues at the New York Comic Con with a "Robot Chicken" panel featuring Green and Senreich. At San Diego Comic-Con International, Green and Senreich are scheduled to appear at the annual Lucasfilm panel, and Cartoon Network is planning an evening "Robot Chicken" event, Resnick said. Also in the works is a merchandise line that includes an array of T-shirts.
The DVD was originally set for May 20. Prebook date remains April 15.
Robot Chicken: Star Wars follows the successful DVD release of the first two seasons of "Robot Chicken." Resnick said the "Star Wars" special will be a standalone DVD and the episode will not be included with the future third-season DVD release.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? A year after her breakout performance at the Olympics, Ruta Meilutyte is even faster than before.
The 16-year-old Lithuanian set a meet record in morning heats of the 100-meter breaststroke at the world championships Monday with a quicker swim than the ones that got her gold in London.
Meilutyte hit the wall in 1 minute, 4.52 seconds, Jessica Hardy of the United States was second in 1:05.18 and Yuliya Efimova of Russia touched third in 1:05.24.
At the Olympics, Meilutyte won in 1:05.47, although she swam faster in the semifinals at 1:05.21.
Meanwhile in other prelims, American teenager Missy Franklin got her first individual event off to a strong start by leading the 100 backstroke in 59.13 seconds.
Defending champion Lotte Friis qualified first in the marathon-like 1,500 in 15:49.18, just ahead of American favorite and 16-year-old Katie Ledecky, who was 0.08 behind.
In a low-key 200 free without Olympic silver medalists Sun Yang and Park Taei-hwan, Robert Renwick of Britain qualified first in 1:46.88, Olympic champion Yannick Agnel of France advanced in sixth and defending champion Ryan Lochte reached the semifinals in ninth.
Also, Ashley Delaney of Australia led the men's 100 back in 53.60.
Four finals were scheduled for the evening session on Day 2 in the pool: the men's 100 breast, the women's 100 butterfly, the men's 50 fly and the women's 200 individual medley.
There could also be some more fireworks from Meilutyte.
If the Britain-based Lithuanian swims just 0.08 quicker in the semifinals later or in Tuesday's final, she'll break Hardy's world record of 1:04.45 set in 2009 at the height of the rubberized suit era.
However, Meilutyte doesn't have two-time defending champion Rebecca Soni to push her, as the American is taking the year off.
But Hardy appears in form.
"I blew my expectations out of the water already, so it's going to be fun," Hardy said. "That was just getting the first-race jitters out."
Franklin got her jitters out by leading off when the Americans won the 4x100 free relay Sunday. That was first up in her Michael Phelps-like load of eight events.
"It was a perfect way to start off the meet," Franklin said. "But I'm really excited to get some backstroke in. So 100 back is the perfect event to come off the relay from."
Katinka Hosszu of Hungary qualified second behind Franklin in 59.40 and Elizabeth Pelton of the U.S. was third in 59.94.
"Awesome. I'm good with that, 59.1 is definitely better than I wanted to be this morning," Franklin said.
Hosszu plans to scratch from this event to focus on racing China's Ye Shiwen in the 200 IM final.
Franklin won the 100 back in 58.33 at the London Games.
Can she approach the world record of 58.12 set by Britain's Gemma Spofforth in 2009?
"I haven't even thought about it," Franklin said. "I'm just going to go out there and swim and have fun. When you focus too much on a number you kind of lose what swimming is all about. So I'm just going to go out there and see what I can do."
Ledecky, however, is clearly eyeing Kate Ziegler's world record of 15:42.54 in the 1,500 ? a non-Olympic event.
"I definitely have a lot left in the tank," Ledecky said. "I just wanted to win my heat and swim a controlled race."
Ledecky won the 400 free in a dominating performance Sunday.
"I just carried the energy and excitement from last night into this morning and recovered well," she said.

- Does racism really exist in our culture?
- How do I have a conversation with someone when I don't understand their point of view?
- Am I impacted by my culture's attitudes about race?
- What, if anything, can I do about racism?
Whew! There is no way to address this topic adequately, especially in the limited time and space we have on a youth group night. Hopefully Eniitan's lessons and stories will help spark conversation and so much compassion among your students. We truly believe that the next generation will have a better handle on this than those that have come before, but it is important to connect their faith with the cry of the marginalized. Unity, not sameness, is the crux of the early church. Our faith is one in which every tribe, tongue, and nation come together through the equalizing and transformative power of Jesus Christ.
We strongly recommend that you create a box where students can write down and submit questions as you go along. It's very likely they will be addressed at some point in the series, but this way you will know where your students are at in the process and you can tailor the lessons to them.
We are sure you can add to this list. We also know that there are not pat answers to any of these questions that will satisfy students long term. The most effective way to answer them is to allow students to experience the truth for themselves through a number of means. We strongly recommend that the curriculum prompts that include scripture, prayer, and discussion be utilized, but all that is up to you.
One of our foundational beliefs is that the Holy Spirit does the work of convincing. We encourage you and your team to lean into that belief as well. Our job is not to argue anyone into the Kingdom or to berate another's beliefs, but to present better questions, the testimony of people, and the scriptures.
This packet includes:
- Student Leadership Meeting
- Four Topical Lessons with Small Group Questions
- Graphic slides for use in your favorite display program
About Next
Long gone are the days of shallow and pat answers that have been common in our teaching. Students today live in a complex world and our teaching must rise to the occasion and help guide them through the maze of culture's complexities. Brock Morgan, along with this dream team of authors and thinkers, have put together what we believe is NEXT in youth ministry teaching and engagement. Through, in a more holistic manner, addressing the topics that are key in a student's burgeoning faith we have crafted a series that will direct investigation and appeal to the heart. Connected to The Amazing Next Conference, this series is meant to empower students and to help them have a sustainable faith that lasts; a faith that is thoughtful and engaged in what God is doing in the world.

Eniitan "Eni" Coker is a first generation Nigerian-American born as the youngest of 7 kids and raised by a dynamic and God-loving Nigerian mother in the deep South of the U.S. "Eni-" translates to person and "-itan" is equivalent to the English words history or story. All together, Eniitan is by name a "person with a history" or "child of story" and by practice, a storyteller. Her nuanced upbringing in Georgia as a Nigerian raised in African-American culture but consistently positioned in predominately white environments is woven into the narratives of the curriculum. Eni's calling to youth ministry that led her to the Northern Virginia has allowed her unexpected opportunities to explore what God has to say about issues of race, class, socioeconomic status and multi-ethnic ministry. This curriculum stems out of lived experiences, racial literacy courses, shared narratives, uncomfortable conversations, heart-breaking memories and hope-filled vision that has been held up to the word of God and the nature God.

His answer was that part of his pitch to clients nowadays is not his ability to get to journalists, but to get to the bloggers who influence those journalists.
It struck a chord. One of the surveys published in the past few weeks showed a surge in the number of journalists using Twitter as a source when writing news stories. That comes as no surprise because it is hard these days to read any news report without coming across some comment sourced from Twitter.
Obviously it makes a lot of sense but there are problems. One, of course, is that you can never quite be sure of the provenance of Twitter comments.
Second, in the days before Twitter, reporters used to phone sources one after the other until they found one with something useful and insightful to say. Today one gets the sense Twitter comments are often picked up because of who said them. They add little to the story.
There is also a quality problem. Using Twitter as a primary source often means journalists are not bothering to find and talk to those less famous people who nevertheless have real knowledge of the subject.
The last point is one uncovered by Compeer, a financial services research house, in a study of comms between wealth managers and their clients. It noted that the elderly and the wealthy were turned off by Twitter. This is largely because the ephemeral nature of electronic communication sits uneasily with the image of gravitas people like to associate with those to whom they have entrusted their money. Chief executives who think they are doing themselves good by tweeting to shareholders might care to think about this.
It is not too much of a stretch to see this same sentiment in newspaper readers who, at the quality end of the market, are older and more affluent. They too want to feel that what they are reading has been put together with some knowledge and thought. That is rarely the impression conveyed by Twitter.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips
Today's most reliable anytime goalscorer tips and predictions – shared for free by our team of experts. There's also a sign-up offer below to get started with some free bets.
Today's Anytime Goalscorer Tip
Looking for similar tips?
We have a huge range of free football betting tips available daily. Pick from a variety of popular bets and see our recommended wagers.
What are anytime goalscorer tips?
An anytime goalscorer tip is quite simply a prediction on which players will score a goal in a particular match. If you back a particular player and they score at any time your bet will be a winner. It doesn't matter if your nominated player is the first or last to score, as long as they find the net you are in the money. Our tipsters analyse the day's fixtures to identify players that are on a good streak of form and have a high chance of scoring in their next match.
What is a first goalscorer prediction?
A first scorer tip is the art of predicting the player that will find the back of the net first in a fixture. Because this type of wager is trickier than an anytime goalscorer bet the odds are higher, meaning you can bank a lot more profit from your stake if you are correct.
What are the best anytime goalscorer tips?
Some players in the past and present are pretty nailed-on to score in virtually every game they play – think Leo Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mo Salah for example – but the odds given by sportsbooks for such players to score are not usually that beneficial. We look for anytime goalscorer tips where you are going to get a decent return for your wager. Perhaps where a creative midfielder who nets around 10 goals a season is playing against a team with a weak defence, or a club's regular penalty-taker is in a match against a side prone to conceding penalties. We use all our footballing expertise to bring you the very best tips possible.
Anytime goalscorer accumulator
A great way to boost your potential profits is to wrap up a number of first and anytime scorer predictions into an acca. This can be done with four or more selections in a single acca bet.
When do we share our scorer predictions?
We like to keep ahead of the game, meaning we review matches as far ahead of their kick-offs as possible. You might wish to check our anytime goalscorer tips a few days before any games you are interested in take place. Once we make our predictions we constantly monitor the football news to keep abreast of any developments that might affect our predictions such as injuries, suspensions, managerial changes – anything that might increase or decrease the chances of our predictions being correct. It's usually best to wait until 24 hours or so before the game to consult our anytime goalscorer predictions and place your wagers.
How to back an anytime goalscorer prediction
It's easy to back an anytime goalscorer bet if you have an account at a leading sportsbook. Sign in to your account and then find the 'football' section, then locate the game in which your anytime goalscorer will be playing. Upon the row on which you'll find the game there should be a number on the far right. Click this and you'll find that a lot more markets suddenly become available for the game in question, including 'anytime goalscorer'. Choose the player you require and add the wager to your bet slip.
What happens if my selection doesn't start?
If the player or players you have backed to score anytime do not start the match, the bookmaker will typically void the bet. If you are unsure of the policy behind non-starters check with your chosen bookmaker directly. If your selection(s) go off injured or are substituted and have not scored, you will lose the bet.

Title: A Spy Called James: The True Story of James Lafayette, Revolutionary War Double Agent
Author: Anne F. Rockwell
Illustrator: Floyd Cooper
Publisher: Carolrhoda Books
Hardcover: 32 pages
Source: NetGalley
Summary: (taken from Goodreads)
Told for the first time in picture book form is the true story of James Armistead Lafayette, a slave who spied for George Washington's army during the American Revolution, and whose personal fight for freedom began with America's liberation.
* I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.*
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5
I very much appreciate this book for existing in the first place — it's a wonderful idea to introduce children to stories like these at a young age, especially stories like James's are hardly ever told in schools. At least, they weren't very often told in my schools when I was younger, but I hope that's changing. As the description says, James Lafayette was a spy for George Washington's Army during the American Revolution, and had to fight to obtain the rights that were given to other former slaves who served in the army because "spies" were not generally covered under the agreement that was made between slaves and the newly formed American government.
The story itself is simply told in a language that children will understand, but covers all the details. And I love the illustrations. They're soft water-color type illustrations with a lot of blended colors and soft lines. It's very child-friendly and I know I enjoyed looking at the pictures, so I think they might, too.
I could see this being in a classroom for children to enjoy during free reading time, or even have it being read aloud to children as part of a history lesson. And, of course, it's a nice addition to the home library, especially for a history-lover.

The rabbi, the priest and the imam receive a message from God. He's had enough of mankind's sins, and intends to punish them with a flood, more lethal than Noah's. The priest goes to his people, reports the message, and asks them to repent, confiding in Jesus for their admission to heaven. The imam goes to his people, reports the message and tells them to accept the will of Allah. The rabbi goes to his people and says, "Jews, we have a few days to learn how to live under water."

Hello everyone!! It's Nancy from the DT here to share a planner layout using the brand new Monster Carnival set from the Craftin' Desert Diva's June Release. I'm a huge fan of monsters, so when I saw this set I went crazy for it!! This is my favorite set from the release. However, it's really hard to make that statement as all the sets are amazing!!
I thought, if monsters were going to a carnival, they would probably take some selfies or visit one of those old fashioned photo booths. I knew that I wanted the monsters to have a strip of photos to take home with them. But typical photo booth strips are a little plain, so I googled film strip clip art and picked an image that was more appealing. I printed out the image, then used it as a template for my photo strip. I traced the outline of the photo strip onto black card stock in two sizes. I wasn't sure which size I would end up using. Then, using a craft knife, I cut out the picture portions of the template. Now I had a template for my photos. I traced the inside of the photo template onto sticker paper to give myself a frame to work within. I knew that I wanted each photo to contain multiple images to create a scene, so I first stamped all my monsters and set pieces onto sticky notes. I cut out all the images and set them aside. Then I masked around each of the photo frames. I placed the stamps in the frames before inking them to get an idea of what I wanted. Once I was happy, I did all the actual stamping. When finished, I removed the masks and began to color. I wanted everything to have a vintage feel, so I kept the colors in shades of black and gray.
I followed similar steps on the other side, but I didn't need a template to create the polaroid photos. I used washi tape in silver, black, and white to keep with the theme and accented with black and gray planner stickers.
Now remember, I said I had made the film template in two different sizes. As I wasn't sure which size I would end up using, I stamped and colored images for it as well. When the layout was complete, I couldn't bear to get rid of the smaller film strip that I hadn't used. I finally decided it would make a great shaker bookmark. I used my fuse tool and a sheet protector to create the pocket for my shaker. I filled the shaker with silver, gold, and iridescent star glitter. I then carefully sealed the top, and the shaker was complete. The support strip for the bookmark was a bit trickier. Because of the awkward shape of the shaker, if the support was set in straight, the book mark would be crooked. I ended up putting the support at an angle so that when the bookmark is attached to the planner it would sit straight. I then used the cover of my planner as a guide to punch the holes in the support. I think the bookmark came out great!! And I didn't waste any of my pieces!!
I hope you enjoyed my layout. This is a concept you could adapt for many others projects as well. Thanks for stopping by. Please make sure you check out the Craftin Desert Divas Event Page on Facebook for more inspiration and amazing projects from the design team.

Ashley says…
You know those little hometown restaurants like you see on tv where the owners and waitresses know all the customers and they chat about family, the farm, etc.? Tammy's Country Kitchen is just like that. It's not unusual to hear, "Hey, Earl. How's Betty?" or "How's the grandbaby?" or a laugh being shared as you are sitting there having your meal. You get a real family feel at Tammy's. Tammy herself is the one you'll usually hear. She not only owns the restaurant, but she's one of the three servers. Her daughter and her mother are the other two. If you get there on one of the days her mother is serving, once you meet her, you'll feel like you've known her for years. She's a sweetie. They all are, actually.
Located on State Route 817 (old US Route 35) in Frazier's Bottom, across the river from Buffalo, Tammy's is the only restaurant within several miles. Obviously the customers are mostly regulars and I figure most probably live in the area or over in Buffalo. I guess you could say my husband and I are regulars. We have been eating there about four times a month for the last six years. My husband loves to give Tammy a hard time and she's not shy to give it right back to him.
Tammy's specializes in, as you might have guessed, country cooking. Every day there are a couple of dinner specials in addition to the full menu. Some of the specials include salmon cakes and meatloaf. And there's always a list of daily side dish specials like broccoli casserole, sweet potato casserole and macaroni salad, to name a few. Regular menu items range from a pinto bean dinner with fried potatoes and cornbread to spaghetti with meat sauce to soups, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. Breakfast is served all day.
My favorite time to visit Tammy's is for breakfast. It's where I get the best omelet I've ever had. I always order the western omelet. What makes this omelet so good is 1) they use real eggs, not liquid eggs from a carton; 2) it includes big chunks of baked ham instead of little ham pellets; and 3) it contains American cheese. The American cheese is the real kicker for me. There's just something about an omelet with American cheese that sets if apart from omelets with cheddar cheese. The omelet is huge too. It's served with either hash browns or home fries. If I'm eating carbs, I get the home fries. They are real potatoes, peeled and cut by hand and fried in a skillet or on a flat top just like you'd have at home.
I also really like Tammy's pancakes. But my one complaint is they are too small. You get three cakes that are about the size of a small coffee can lid. I'm sure that's really all a person should eat, health-wise, but it just leaves me wanting more. The breakfast menu also contains other typical items such as eggs your way, sausage, biscuits and gravy and french toast. I only have one other complaint. They serve "fake butter" or "spread" to customers. I once asked if they had any real butter and was told no by Tammy herself. Surely they aren't using that crap to cook with. She could have brought me some from the kitchen like other places have done.
On our most recent visit, I opted for a simple grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of Tammy's taco soup. The soup contains a lot of the components of a taco, ground beef, tomatoes, peppers, black beans and spices. It's topped with a generous amount of shredded cheese and is served with sour cream and tortilla chips. It's got good flavor and is pretty filling. The grilled cheese was above average (grilled with REAL BUTTER, I'm sure.) I saved two cheesy bites of it for last.
I've had the salmon cakes more than once. They are close to like my mom makes. Same goes with the beans, fried potatoes and cornbread. And the meatloaf is really good too.
I've also had the baked chicken breast with gravy, the ground beef patty with grilled onions and gravy, a Reuben, a Chef's salad and a Grilled Chicken salad. One of my favorite sides is the sweet potato casserole. It's super sweet and topped with chopped pecans. It's really more like dessert. Oh, speaking of dessert, Tammy's has several homemade options each day such as pig pickin' cake (a white layer cake with coconut, orange and other flavors), fruit cobblers, butter pecan cake (sold out our recent visit) or if she gets strawberries from The Strawberry Lady, strawberry shortcake (with a homemade yellow sponge cake.)
Tammy's food is nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned country cooking that's served with a smile in a clean, nicely-decorated, homey-feeling place. THREE FORKS.

Empowering Grace
We need the empowering grace of God. We need the gospel. This is true both to save us and make us morelike Jesus. It is at times though in our Christian walk we function with a 'try harder' belief. We also are prone to a 'list based' religion with our will power being the force behind us. Such living is what is called morality or even legalism. These two things are not Chr...Keep Reading

Helichrysum (Everlasting / Immortelle) Essential Oil
- Product Code: EO-H03
- Availability: In Stock
- Ex Tax: £15.00
Available Options
Helichrysum italicum is a member of the daisy family. It is native throughout the Mediterranean but is mainly cultivated in Italy, France and Spain. The strongly aromatic plant can reach over 60cm in height and in summer it is covered in clusters of bright yellow flowers. The flowers retain their colour after picking and are often used in dried flower arrangements or pot pourri, hence their name 'Everlasting' or 'Immortelle'. The plant is also known as St John's Herb or the curry plant, because of its pungent smelling leaves.
The name Helichrysum is derived from the Greek words 'helios', for sun, and 'chrysos', meaning golden, which refer to the plant's bright yellow flowers. The ancient Greeks used the plant for its wound healing properties and it has also traditionally been used for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, regenerative and anti-allergic effects. Along with Frankincense, Myrrh, Spikenard, and Rose, Helichrysum is viewed as one of the world's most valuable, ancient healing substances.
Helichrysum essential oil is steam distilled from the plant's flowers. It has a lovely honey-like aroma and is often used as a fixative in perfumes, soaps and cosmetics. Like Lavender, Helichrysum is most active when used synergistically, i.e. when blended with other oils. It is a very safe, non-toxic and non-irritant essential oil, making it a great oil to use with babies, children and those with sensitive skin.
- Species: Helichrysum italicum

It can also be used in general skincare for its rejuvenating properties and to help soothe sensitive or inflamed skin.
The oil has calming, antidepressant and uplifting properties making it useful for all stress-related conditions. As a tonic oil it can be particularly beneficial for people who are feeling debilitated, exhausted or lethargic. Many believe it helps heal emotional scarring, opens the heart and enhances the flow of subtle heart energy, connects body and spirit, and aids spiritual growth.
Helichrysum essential oil can be useful for muscular aches, pains, sprains, strains and rheumatism. It can help with bacterial infections such as colds, flu and fever.

Tabigat Ecological Union
Tabigat Ecological Union, founded in 1991, is one of the first environmental NGOs in Kazakhstan. Its goal is to create ecological standards for industry, introduce advanced, non-polluting technology in the industrial sector and promote sustainable development in the region.
The first problem addressed by Tabigat is the threat of flooding by wastewaters from the Almaty City storage facility of Lake Sor-Bulak, which may affect 50,000 citizens in Balchshsky and Kurtinsky. In 1999, the Almaty Department of Ecology and Tabigat conducted a feasibility study of Sor-Bulak, which today serves as a model for other regions.
Another problem addressed by Tabigat was solid waste disposal. The authorities were to build an incinerator in the city, which would have an adverse effect on the air quality of Almaty. Tabigat opposed the construction of the incinerator and proposed alternatives for collecting and recycling the wastes, e.g. sorting the trash and redistributing it to different national industries.
Tabigat won support for establishing a resource center, which would collect and create a database for housing superintendents and apartment managers that allows interested organizations such as municipal offices and homeowners to access information on environmental issues.
In an effort to fight against desertification, Tabigat has encouraged the people of Kazakhstan to celebrate the traditional holiday of Nauryz with every Kazakhstani planting a tree. In 1998, Tabigat and the National Park "Ile-Alatau" opened a honeymoon park near the mountain of Medeo where newlyweds plant trees. In 1999, based on initiatives by Tabigat, more than 4,500 people planted 10,000 trees on 20 hectares surrounding the Vesnovka River.
In 1997, at the initiative of Tabigat, the Ministry of Ecology agreed to provide 500,000 tenge (national currency) for a feasibility study for the creation of Cherinsky, a national park between the Cherin, Chilik and Ily Rivers and the Togougir Mountains. The park will have restrictions and penalties for negligent tourists, poachers and other undesirable visitors. The plan calls for the development of ecotourism.
About 70% of emissions in Almaty come from transport. Due to the increase in vehicles and the pollution they cause, Tabigat organized a bicycle movement, which includes the development of bicycle lanes in the City and research into the flow of traffic on major city arteries.
