Hi Pepi,

Looking at the previous newsletters (or at least number 10 onwards) I 
see that the articles are becoming longer as a function of time! My 
suggests are the following: either the format is changed as you suggest, 
and the text is wrapped around the figures, or we stick with the format 
and cut down the length of the articles and/or edit & add more images so 
they are approximately the same height as the article.

Many thanks,
Debbie
