MEMORANDUM
To: All maintenance staff
From: Janice Lai, Supervisor
Subject: Daily report submissions
Date: December 16

I realize you all have demanding schedules, and we appreciate your hard work. But you must comply with
the policies regarding the completion of your daily reports in a timely manner. Let me remind you that all
report information must be fully entered by the end of each work day for the hours that you spent on
maintenance tasks. In November, I received several time sheets more than two weeks late, and I still have
some that have yet to be provided.

Additionally, for those reports that were submitted on time, I noticed that many were missing important
details. Remember that these reports are used not only to track the number of maintenance tasks, but also
to determine how efficient we were at completing them.

In order to address this issue, a new policy will go into effect next month. I will be checking your reports
weekly to ensure they are complete and posted on time on the company Web site. If there are any
problems, I will follow up on them with you in person.

I appreciate all of your cooperation in this and hope that these issues cease to continue from now on.

Questions 172-175 refer to the following article,

Thoughts on Sharing Economy


By Adriana Solo

In recent years, mobile applications and Web sites have made it easier
and cheaper for people to do things like get a ride, find a place to stay,
or arrange a babysitter. Referred to as "the sharing economy," this new
Internet-dependent system brings more wage-earning opportunities to
a wider range of people. However, as the practice of purchasing
services from individual people rather than conventional businesses
grows in popularity, some municipalities have opted to regulate it, or
even ban it outright.

Ghorinburg, for instance, has emerged as a strong opponent of the


sharing economy and the local government has prohibited residents
from participating in it. Mayor of the city, Robert Smollet, who
became mayor last year in a landslide victory, says that its advantages
are not as great as they seem on the surface. "When you can hire
someone to work on a freelance basis for a lower rate, why bother
going to a company that will charge much more? Ultimately, the
sharing economy can cause businesses to close and the people who
work for them to lose their jobs."

Ghorinburg does not stand alone, as other municipalities across the


nation are following suit. In smaller cities, like Browenville, Marog,
and Quentintown, where local businesses play a vital role in the
growth of the economy, restrictions have likewise been adopted. Only
time will tell whether attitudes remain this way, as technology is
certain to spread to even more aspects of our lives.

(A) The profitability of innovative services (A) A mobile application was introduced.
(B) Consumption patterns among online shoppers (B) A new mayor was elected to office.
(C) The adoption of new training programs (C) A business association held a protest

services. (B) Local businesses are essential to its economic

SUBJECT Re: Post-conference activity
DATE April 30

Evan,
I checked the Port Royal Cruises Web site you mentioned. I agree that it would be a fun activity for those
of us from the company attending the conference in Jamaica in June. I contacted the company to find out
about renting the ship, and the cost is $7,500 per day including meals, staff, accommodation, and tours. So,
a two-day rental would fall within our budget. We could depart on Friday and be back in Port Royal on
Sunday morning, in time for our return flights to Edmonton in the afternoon.

If needed, the ship has audiovisual equipment we can use, and Internet access is available. It also has a
paid laundry service, and the cruise line's bus can pick us up at the Mont Drake Resort where the
conference is taking place.

I'll proceed with the booking once you give me your consent.

Health Note March

The Truth About Supplements? (continuedfrom page 19)


So, ideally, maintaining a varied diet is enough to satisfy the nutritional requirements of adults aged 65 and
older. However, some seniors may find this difficult to do, as they lack time and find preparing nutritious
meals to be too challenging. In such cases, many doctors agree that taking vitamins and other supplements
may be helpful. Even so, physicians believe that these supplements should be carefully regulated so as not
to cause unintended harm. According to a controlled study1 by the Research Institute for Aging, some
vitamins and minerals can be toxic when ingested in large amounts. For this reason, getting the advice of a
trusted and qualified physician before beginning a vitamin regimen is recommended.

Gloria Arden [8:20 A.M.] I've been looking over everyone's progress reports on the software project.
Based on what I've seen, I don't think we'll be able to meet our scheduled
release date.
Isabel Cabrera [8:22 A.M.] You may be right about that. Since Bob and Carol moved over to the new
hardware project, we've had some trouble meeting the initial deadlines.
Gordon Brickyard [8:26 a.m.] Couldn't we just reschedule the release? Pushing it back a month ought to
give us enough time to finish up.
Joe Freemont [8:28 A.M.] But remember that the product is supposed to be available for the holiday
season, which is our peak sales period. If we miss that deadline, we could
lose many potential customers.
Gordon Brickyard [8:31a.m.] My team has a lot of urgent responsibilities, so I think it would be a good
idea to hire some independent contractors to help out.
Gloria Arden [8:32 a.m.] What are you thinking?
Gordon Brickyard [8:33 a.m. Well, they could help my team finish writing the user manual, for one
thing. And they could probably handle product testing as well.
Gloria Arden [8:35 a.m.] I see. What's your opinion, Isabel?
Isabel Cabrera [8:37 a.m.] It could end up being expensive, but I like the idea. Our graphic designers

Barriston City Unveils New Development Project


By Wendy Ogilvy

The Barriston City Planning Commission announced plans last Thursday to begin work on a revitalization
of the art district on Chestnut Avenue, Long considered the hub of Barriston's art scene, the area has fallen
into disrepair. The project will involve widening the sidewalks, repaying the street, and building a park in
the area. In addition, two information billboards showing maps of the district will be installed on the
thoroughfare for visitors.

But the highlight of the project is a new outdoor staging area which will be located at the corner of
Chestnut Avenue. Designed by local architect Theresa Vergara, the stage will be used to host musical
concerts and theatrical productions, with outdoor seating for up to 500 people.

Also, a portion of the city government's budget has been allocated to the restoration of buildings along
Chestnut Avenue. Inspectors will evaluate the structures to determine what work needs to be carried out.
Proprietors will not be charged, but according to city tax assessor Peter Jones, property tax levels will
increase in the district by 1 percent, starting next year.

With many proprietors of local businesses in the district reporting dropping sales figures and a decline in
visitors, the commission hopes the project will help draw people back to the area. Evan Sweeten, chair of
the planning committee, said, "We believe that this work will help revitalize the area and bring it back to
its former glory."

168. Why was the article written? 170. The word "draw" in paragraph 4, line 2, is
closest in meaning to
(A) To publicize the opening of an art

Recruitment Fairs

It will soon be that time of year again when Cofton College sends staff to university
recruitment fairs around the country to attract new students. Ms. Malkovich will, of
course, be in charge of this as our marketing manager and will be attending all of the
events. Unlike other major private colleges in the UK, we like to emphasize the amount of
personal attention that students receive from their teachers. Thus, not only do we keep
class sizes to manageable proportions, but we also promote healthy social interactions
between students and faculty. For this reason, we try to have at least one member of the
teaching staff attend each recruitment event. The four events we will be attending in the
next month are listed below:
• Thursday, February 10, Mercia Hotel, Birmingham
• Wednesday, February 16, Hartford College, London
• Saturday, February 19, Leeds Metropolitan Convention Centre, Leeds
• Wednesday, February 23, Brighton and Hove Conference Centre, Brighton
Please get in touch with me at lsullivan@coftoncoUege.co.uk if you have the time to attend
any of these events. Anyone willing to work the weekend event will be paid at the usual
hourly rate for overtime.
I look forward to hearing from you all.

Is franchising right for you? (continued from page 1)

As I learned when I spoke to experts at the recently held Franchise Expo in Fort Myers, franchising is
not for everyone. Franchise Friendly's Sam Romanek told me, "Franchises may pose fewer risks than
start-ups, but they may not be a good fit if you value total independence and control."

As for choosing the right franchise, FBA's Barbara Allied advises doing your research. "Don't just
look at a company's recent performance," she said. "Find out how the overall industry is doing." For
instance, she cited the promising outlook for home services and a diminishing one for personal fitness.
"Fitness clubs have boomed in recent years," she added, "but the market is now saturated."

Subject: Re: Order no. 209154-68
Date: May 5
Attachment: Prepaid return shipping label

Dear Ms. Plummer,


I apologize for your recent experience. We always do our best to ensure that every item we ship is
received in good condition by wrapping each piece separately in impact-resistant packaging.
However, damage can still sometimes occur, particularly when items are sent overseas.
The problem is, as indicated on our Web site, that our shipping provider does not offer insurance, so
they don't cover the cost of items damaged during delivery However, we will compensate you at our
expense. Just mail the damaged item (item number LV-98201) back to us, and we will issue you a full
refund. We have attached a prepaid return shipping label for your convenience. Thank you, and we hope
that you will continue to do business with us in the future.
Sincerely,
Joel Nesbitt

Belaiar University to Ooen High-Tech Hub

Malaysia's Belajar University yesterday announced that it is beginning to build a new campus in
Malacca City that is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The new campus is part of an
outreach strategy to encourage students from other parts of Malaysia to apply to the prestigious
university, the campuses of which are primarily located in the capital Kuala Lumpur. "Although we
have seen an increase in the number of applicants from outside Kuala Lumpur in recent years," said
university vice-chancellor Abdullah Mohammed, "this new campus is sure to attract even more."

The new campus is also being partially funded by the Malaysian government, which considers it a
key part of its plan to develop the southern part of the country into a high-technology hub. Because of
this, the campus will feature a number of state-of-the-art computer laboratories that will be used to
develop new types of microchips and computer processors. A new high-speed rail link between the
capital and Malacca City is also being constructed by the government as part of the process of
encouraging technology companies to relocate to the smaller town.

Qing Weihai, governor of Malacca State, said, "We welcome this decision by the Malaysian
government and Belajar University and expect the new campus to create thousands of new jobs in the
region by encouraging businesses to move here."

fftotiee t@ Visitors

We've had a great summer season here at the Newport County Amusement Park and Zoo, but as the
winter season approaches, we're going to be closing sections of the park for maintenance and repairs.

Starting on October 1, the Mach One rollercoaster will be closed for inspections and repairs until the
beginning of the next summer season. In addition, certain animal enclosures will be shut down
temporarily to allow workers to perform needed renovations. These measures are vital to ensure the
future safety and enjoyment of all park visitors.

To make up for the inconvenience, we have some new winter attractions coming up. The days may be
getting shorter, but that just gives us a great excuse to hold a fireworks show, every day at 7 p.m. from
October 22 to December 4. On top of that, all of our restaurants will be serving our brand-new winter
menu starting on September 30. The menu was created by celebrity chef Alexandre Mapouche and is
based on European winter delicacies.

If you have any questions about these changes, please ask any member of our helpful and informative
staff.

Subject: Feedback

Dear madam or sir,

I would like to report an issue I had at the Newport County Amusement Park and Zoo regarding
the closure of one of your rides. My son had wanted to visit your park for many months so he
could ride the Mach One rollercoaster. I finally found the time to take him, and he was very
excited. However, upon arriving at the park, we saw the notice outside the ticket office
announcing that the Mach One was closed for maintenance.

We decided to visit the park anyway, as we had traveled all the way from Colebrook, but my son
was very disappointed. I believe that, at the very least, we are owed an apology since you did
not announce the closure on your Web site; and perhaps we are even entitled to a refund of half
the amount we paid for our tickets because the attraction we were most Interested in was
| unavailable.

I look forward to your response.

Pure Mix
PO Box 12525
Oregon City, OR 97045
Paul McCall
898 Manatee Lane
Madison, WI 53716
Dear Mr. McCall,
We have received your inquiry about our natural daily vitamin supplement. You asked if our product
contained any chemicals or nonorganic materials. Also, you inquired about some of the ingredients
used to make the vitamin powder, as you are allergic to strawberries and cannot ingest grapefruit for
medical reasons.
As advertised, we are a provider of certified organic products, so there are no chemical or unnatural
materials in our products at all. Our organic ingredients are of the highest quality available, made only
from fruits, plants, and naturally raised animals.
As stated, our products do include fruits. However, the daily vitamin supplement does not contain
strawberries or grapefruit as ingredients. You can ingest it safely without any worry about an allergic

A Very Fruity Idea

Our cities are filled with trees, and the vast majority
of those trees produce edible fruits. — [1] —. But
with no one to collect and process them, most 11 ^
simply fall to the ground and rot, wasting a
potentially excellent source of nutrition.

One new organization wants to change that. — [2] —. Fresh From The
Tree is a non-profit group that aims to collect as much fruit as possible
from the city's trees, and then make it into delicious snacks that can be
sold at low prices to local residents.

"We have been doing a survey of the locations of all the fruit trees in
town," says co-founder Michaela Anderson. "Once we have identified
a promising tree, we contact the homeowners and ask if we can pick
the fruit for them. — [3] —. They usually don't have time to manage
it themselves."

After the volunteers collect the fruit, they give half of it to the owners
of the residence, and keep the other half to turn into fruit pies, jams,
sorbets, and other tasty but healthy desserts. The group only has a
handful of volunteers at the moment but are hoping to recruit more in
the coming months. — [4] —. They are also negotiating with the city
to collect fruit from trees on government property.

..... . ... . .

CITY OF GRIGGSTON PUBLIC MEETING NOTICE

A city hall meeting has been scheduled to discuss proposed plans for two road improvements,
specifically the extension of Marigold Street from Route 103 and the road hazard repairs on Hartford
Street. The first project on Marigold Street will be conducted over two weeks while the latter is
expected to take five days. The Griggston Office of Transportation Planning has provided funding for
both projects.
The work is expected to cause some disruption to traffic and some disturbances to homes and
businesses in the area. The city has already put together a traffic rerouting plan for the duration of
both projects and will allow the usage of noisy machinery during daytime hours.
Please note the meeting details below.
Date: Tuesday, January 10
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Location: Griggston City Hall, Room 5A in basement level one
This room is fully-accessible for persons with disabilities.
Representatives from the Office of Transportation Planning, along with project contractors and
consultants, will present an overview of the roadwork while providing the opportunity for questions
from the audience. Should you have any inquiries about this meeting or comments regarding either
project, they may be directed to our senior city planner Lois Oliveira at l.oliveira@griggstoncity.gov.

The Regency Scotia School of Design Hosts Historic Royal Costume Display

Threads of Royal Histoiy, launched on Friday, is the latest exhibit from the Regency Scotia
School of Design (RSSD) in Glasgow. It is a treat for period costume enthusiasts. For the exhibit,
the school borrowed 52 outfits belonging to both historical and current monarchs from museums
around the world. Of particular note are the 4,000 year old headdress and accessories on loan
from the Cairo Museum in Egypt as well as several stunning robes from the Forbidden City
Museum in Beijing. In addition, fashion students from the school have created 38 replica outfits.
All of the items are beautifully displayed on specially designed mannequins.
The exhibit will last for a month, concluding on April 30. Regular admission is £6.50, but
students and faculty of the RSSD are admitted for free. Senior citizens pay £5.00, and children 10
and under pay £3.50. Inquire about student group rates by calling 555-3400. The exhibit space is
located in the school's Leighton Hall, which is open from 10 a.m. through 8 p.m., Monday through

money on transportation! The application connects you with other users in your area that are
interested in carpooling at specific times. All our members undergo a screening process and can post
reviews about other passengers and drivers. With fees starting as low as $6 per month for a basic
package, Wheel-Pals is sure to be as popular here in Auckland as it is in Brisbane, Sydney, and
Melbourne! Go to www.wheelpals.com for more details.

USER REVIEW: Wheel-Pals Carpooling Application


By Jason Diaz (jdiaz@vastpost.co.au)

Wheel-Pals recently launched its service in the Auckland area, and having already used the
application while living in Brisbane, I was one of the first to sign up. As before, I purchased the
basic package because, in the past, it had enough services to help me form carpool groups with
other drivers or riders that live nearby. However, I don't think Wheel-Pals has done enough to
promote its launch in this area. I sometimes find it difficult to find people to carpool with. In
Brisbane, I only drove my car to work once or twice a week, but now I have to do it more often.
Also, few people that I know locally are even aware of the application.

available for this date and, if so, what the cost would be?

Dear Mr. Fletcher,

hit the region yesterday and has caused serious damage. The airports you were scheduled to use in

Airport officials believe it will be four days until air traffic will return to normal. And as the storm
travels, other tour destinations may be affected as well.
At this point, we can offer you and your wife a complete refund for the tour package. Your total
purchase price will be refunded to the credit card you used to book the tour. Alternatively, we can
book a tour for you at a later date. If you choose this option, we recommend waiting at least until
May so that your visit to the different locations is as pleasant as possible. Should you decide to
take the tour at a later time, we will also provide you with hotel upgrades at all the locations on
the itinerary.
We sincerely apologize for the situation as we understand that it is a last-minute cancellation, and
you have probably already prepared for the trip.
Sincerely,
Customer Services

I've been invited to speak at the Great Lakes Real Estate Convention between June 18 and

new regional manager. Beryl Twispe, is getting along in her new position. Could you
contact her and find out if this would be a good time for me to visit? If so,
I would prefer traveling to Minneapolis by train, but I am not sure if it is a reasonable
option. However, if a train trip will take too long, go ahead and make reservations for a
flight out of Milwaukee.
I'd like to depart the day after the conference ends, and I'll also require accommodation in
Minneapolis. You don't have to take care of the arrangements for my stay in Milwaukee
as I was informed by the organizer of the convention, Brenda Orson, that she will deal

Everything Video Opens Store


By Kelly Warren

Everything Video, a pioneer in the used electronics marketplace,


recently opened its fourth store, this time in San Diego. With
popular branches in Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino,
the chain's new store, located in the Seaside Mall, is its largest
location yet. The space boasts an incredible variety of thousands
of games for multiple platforms that date back to the 1980s.
There is also a smaller section of game consoles, handheld
players, and an assortment of other vintage video game devices.
Used movies on videotape or DVD are also available.

Kendra Brown, founder of Everything Video, says, "A lot of


people miss owning physical objects." She explained that the
shift in recent years to playing games and watching movies
online has indirectly created a demand for physical products.
"Often, our customers buy these items for sentimental reasons."

Not only can customers do some shopping, but Eveiything Video


buys stock as well. If you have games, movies, or devices they're
interested in, staff offer cash payments or store credit to use at
any of their locations in exchange for them.

According to branch manager Dane Cruz, as an introductory


special, shoppers who buy three games or more will receive a 20
percent discount off their total purchase amount. The offer is
valid until August 1 and is only available at the San Diego
branch.

Dear Mr. Macaulay,

My name is Allan Carpenter, and I just recently moved into the Cornwood Condominium. I have two teenage
daughters, Tamara and Kristin, who are interested in signing up for the swim lessons being offered this
summer. Tamara is 13 and is already quite an accomplished swimmer, having been a varsity member at her
previous school for two years. The younger one, who is 11, has had less experience as a swimmer, but she is
certainly not a beginner.

I am planning to visit administration office this week with my daughters to sign them up, but I wanted to
find out whether you accept credit cards as a method of payment. Please let me know as soon as it is
convenient. Thank you!

Leo Kinghorn [3:36] Everyone in the purchasing department is wondering how we will be affected
by the change. Are there any firm details available?
Mimi Hanway [3:38] It's my understanding that administrative functions will be carried out in only

Jude Mason [3:41] Any idea how that will change my routine?
Helen Gatlneau [3:42] You'll stop at both facilities before taking your deliveries to the retail store,
Jude. We'll hire additional warehouse workers to speed things up so you have
time to visit both spots. They will help you load items.

Questions 168-171 refer to the following foreword of a book.

Starting Up
A Foreword by Michael Lawman
Starting Up is Anne Schubert's first nonfiction publication, tracing the events in her life that led her to
become a successful businessperson. Schubert reminds us through her compelling life story that
creating a start-up company is not something that one can do without planning, — [1] —. Sufficient time
and hard work are both necessary to make one's own business profitable, and the process of how to do
that is outlined in detail throughout this book,
Schubert discusses how even from a young age she had always thought herself something of an
inventor. Trying to come up with original products that others would find useful in their daily lives gave
her inspiration. — [2] —. She also had to overcome the multiple challenges that go along with
promoting a new product and ultimately landed contracts to supply Venus Footwear and Constant
Sports Equipment,
And it didn't take Schubert long to open a start-up company in Seattle called Swift World, which
eventually led to her becoming CEO of Swift Enterprises International, Now with over 280 shoe stores
across six different countries, we learn in the book how Schubert came from nearly nothing and
developed Swift Enterprises into one of the nation's most lucrative retailers. — [3] —.
Not only is Starting Up incredibly insightful and educational for entrepreneurs, but it is an entertaining
read with lots of personal stories about the highly competitive world of product development and retail.
I've been fortunate enough to be Schubert's professional peer for many years and have benefitted a lot
from her insight and intuition. — [4] —, Now, with Starting Up, you too can have a look inside

A New Hotspot for Business Travel


The western Chinese city of Chengdu has, for a long time, been overshadowed by
more famous eastern cities like Shanghai and Beijing. But with China increasingly
becoming the world's economic powerhouse, cities like Chengdu are becoming
important destinations for business travel. However, conference halls and
boardrooms aren't the only things visitors should see in this amazing and attractive
metropolis. If you have some spare time during your trip, why not go and see
some of the sights?
• The panda sanctuary is the biggest draw for tourists in the city, and the only
chance you'll have to see these wonderful and endangered creatures up close.
English-speaking tour guides are available, and there are around 60 pandas
including newborns. Note that the animals tend to be asleep between noon and
2 p.m. because of the heat. Due to its popularity, advance ticket purchases and
reservations are recommended.
• Luodai Ancient Town is a region of Chengdu that has survived the demolition
and development of recent decades. It contains a number of traditional houses,
and local Sichuan street food is available at stalls. Bus and train services to
Luodai are available, although the bus takes longer due to traffic.
• Mount Emei is located just outside Chengdu and is one of the most famous
mountains of Chinese Buddhism. If you have an opportunity to go, take the cable
car to the summit and enjoy a long but easy walk back down.
• If you have several days available, your hotel will be able to help you arrange a
trip to some of the smaller Tibetan towns that surround the city. In these towns,
you can ride horses, stay in traditional Tibetan accommodations, and visit the
many temples and libraries.
All of these sights (except the Tibetan villages and Mount Emei) are easily
accessed by a taxi from the center of the city, which should cost no more than
50RMB,

Dear Mr. Karrington,


I am writing to express my disappointment in your limousine services. As a first-time customer that was
hoping to take advantage of your company's special discount offer, I am sorry to say that I experienced
several issues with the service provided.
I had requested that a driver and stretch limousine meet some important visitors at the airport for
Saturday, December 10. However, after waiting for nearly an hour in the arrivals area, nobody picked them
up, and they were forced to call your company. They were informed that the car and driver were waiting at
the domestic terminal instead of the international one. I clearly indicated in my reservation form that the
flight would arrive at 6:30 p.m. in Terminal 1. Unfortunately, all of these delays meant our visitors waited
around for an extra hour and a half.

192 ^aA MP3 Hackerslngang.com


The driver then took our visitors to the Crown Diamond Airport Hotel instead of the branch located
downtown. This added another 30 minutes to the trip. These visitors are potential investors in my company,
and I was very embarrassed by their first impressions,
I booked and paid for a return trip from the Crown Diamond Hotel to the airport for December 16 at 10:45 a.m.,
but at this point I wish to cancel. And I would appreciate a refund for the return trip. You may send the
funds to the corporate credit card used to pay for your services,
I hope to receive a response from you shortly. Please e-mail me a confirmation as soon as the refund is
processed.

NOTICE: Upcoming maintenance


Posted on May i

County Line Bank's mission is to do everything we can to earn the trust and respect of our
customers. We extend that mission to our online services as well. To do this, we must
continually update our computer systems and software. Unfortunately, making these
necessary improvements requires that we shut down parts of our online banking services for
short periods of time.
In this regard, on May 22 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m, some online banking features will become
temporarily unavailable. During this time, customers will be unable to check balances, pay
bills, transfer money, stop payments, or deposit money for checking and savings accounts
registered on our online system.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. To take care of time-sensitive
transactions during the shutdown period, you may call our 24-hour customer service line at
1-800-555-3278. You will be required to provide your account number and may also be asked
security questions to verify your identity. Alternatively, you may conduct all regular
transactions available through any automated teller machine or visit any County Line branch

i am an account engineer with Datup Solutions, specializing in online systems. I have learned that you
are the director of information technology for County Line Bank. I would like to discuss briefly with
you how our company is helping clients like you to minimize their system downtime.
Datup recognizes the financial consequences for companies or institutions who regularly have to take
parts of their systems offline for maintenance, as your bank does with its site. With this in mind,
Datup's main business focus has always been to keep systems running during upgrades and upkeep.
We have been successfully helping financial institutions, insurance firms, and online retail companies
do exactly that for four years now, with most clients reporting substantial returns on their
!V| investments.
•vj i
If you are interested, I would like to meet with you and any other key personnel related to your
system s operations. Ideally, it would be a good idea to have an appointment one week before your
upgrade takes place. We can review the bank's current system, and my associate Michaela Owens
and I can explain to you face-to-face how Datup can help to improve the situation. We are available to
meet with you any day this week apart from Thursday, which is the day of a company conference. And

Please provide all the details about the problem you experienced, and we will answer you within
24 hours.

I recently ordered some paint on promotion from your store, but it seems that the wrong paint
color was delivered. I got cobalt blue instead of warm gray. Perhaps one of your attendants
confused the two since they have some similarities in their packaging. Could you look into this
and take whatever actions are necessary? If possible, I'd like to return the wrong item and have
the correct one sent to me without any additional charges for shipping. Thank you.

Restructuring in Preparation for Farnsworth Capital Bank

The government has approved the merger between Capital Status


Bank and Farnsworth Regional Bank. Both banks have exhibited
average profitability when compared to other financial institutions,
and each bank has strengths that the other does not. The combined
board of directors of the new institution, Farnsworth Capital Bank,
expects profitability to start improving in about five years.

Bob Altman from Capital Status Bank has been selected to be the
chief executive officer of the new organization, and Emily Carter from
Farnsworth Regional Bank will serve as the chief financial officer.
The board of directors has not yet appointed a chairman, but
spokesperson Ryan Salazar has stated that someone from outside both
organizations will be hired,

Mr. Altman said that because of the region's rapid growth, employee
layoffs will be kept to a minimum. Instead, some employees may be

extra weekly shifts. Our second option would be to hire temporary employees, train them for some of
the less complex tasks, and dismiss them when the job is done. We need input from each employee,
so please think about what you'd prefer. You will be meeting with your managers individually sometime
this week to let them know your preference.

Our best-selling software BizzSpec has now been updated to version 4.0! Just like with BizzSpec 3.9,
you can create comprehensive business reports and presentations. At the same time, the new version
imports data, text, and images from various sources, which can be inserted into a format that you
design. In addition, the upgrade improves the functionality, look, and features of the program, allowing
it to start up and import files faster than ever before while completing tasks more effectively. Now.
users can customize the home page and main menus to reflect the functions that are used most.
The updated version is now available to download for existing users of BizzSpec 3.0-3.9 at no cost.

any questions.

Reviewer: Johnny Nestor

I recently installed BizzSpec 4.0 and have worked with it for two weeks. I
liked the features in the 3.0 version I had before but used it only
occasionally as it was slow and difficult to navigate. The new version
addresses both of these problems. The ability to customize the menu
means that you can remove functions that you don't use and arrange the !
\
icons in a way that works for you. The functions aren't deleted from the
program, so if one is needed at a later date, you can retrieve it. Whether
you customize the main menu or not, the program starts quickly and
moves seamlessly between tasks.

However, I have two minor complaints. First, the length of the setup time
stated in the company's Web page was inaccurate as the process took
much longer than that. Secondly, there are a few older file types that the
updated version is unable to read.

Overall, it's a great tool that is now easier to use. If you create a lot of
reports and presentations, I recommend the update.

number one hits.The album's strong social commentary appealed to many fans.

and "Bright Days Ahead" was the sole song on it to make the top ten list.
Little Thoughts
After taking a break from the industry, Krall came back with this reflective album. Critical reviews were mixed,
but fans appreciated its similarity to some of Krall's early work.The album sold 2.8 million copies, and all songs
were written in collaboration with Ken Lewes.
On The Whole: For her fifth release, Krall has re-recorded ten of her most famous songs with a live orchestra.

Questions 196-200 refer to the following e-mails and invoice.

TO: Gene Lipton <geneIipton@beetleadagen


FROM: James Nichols <jamesnichols@beet
SUBJECT: Change
DATE: April 8
ATTACHMENT: New script

Hi Gene,
I got the revised script for the Tungsten motorcycle television commercial this morning. The client
understands that giving us a new version now is short notice as we are scheduled to shoot on Thursday, but
the changes appear to be very minor. Anyway, I will forward the new script to the cast as some of their
lines are different, and I've attached a copy for you, too.
Also, I spoke to Noah Pierce at the filming venue and asked him if we could extend the shoot until
8 o'clock. He said there is another shoot after ours at 6 p.m., so it wouldn't be possible on that date.
However, if we booked the day after, he could extend our shoot. I am fine with delaying filming by a day.
If you're in agreement, let me know, and I will confirm the rescheduling with Noah. It will give you the
extra filming time you requested.
I'll be out of the office for the rest of the day, so just send a text message to my mobile phone if you have
any questions. Thanks, and I'll see you at the production meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Also, you provided a selection of menu options for the luncheon, and I have had some time to

tossed salad for the main course. For dessert, I will go ahead and select your cherry
cheesecake. Also, I forgot to ask you about what types of beverages are offered, and I don't

Blake Dunlap 10:28 a.m. Hi, everyone. I'm happy to announce that Alstrop's board of directors
has decided to open a sixth branch in Cleveland. Consequently, diey'd
like to transfer existing employees so that the branch is launched as
quickly as possible. In fact, I need each of you to submit some staffing
recommendations.
Cathy Schiiltz 10:30 A.M. Would the transfers be temporary? Many of our staff members have
lived here in Inglewood their entire lives. They won't be happy about
this.
Blake Dunlap 10:31 A.M. That will depend on the preference of each employee. Naturally,
performance is also a factor.
Roy Reese 10:31 a.m. When's our target opening date?
Blake Dunlap 10:32 a.m. The branch must be fully operational by November 15 to take
advantage of our year-end tire sale.
George Kesterson 10:32 a.m. If you're looking for an office administrator, I think Tammy Roselli

Sonorum Brings Vixo Mob One Step Closer to Reality


By Albert Lepke, music correspondent

Music giant Sonorum, which holds the rights for over 80 record labels, has struck a global licensing deal
with online streaming provider Vixo, paving the way for the launch of Vixo Mob, a paid music subscription
service. Vixo already has the rights to stream content from several major record labels. — [1] —. But until
now, it lacked access to Sonorum's vast catalog of contemporary music.

The agreement with Sonorum will significantly increase the amount of content Vixo will be able to offer,
making Vixo Mob's long-awaited introduction more likely to occur. The premium service has been in
development for two years. — [2] —. "We're clearly excited about the prospect of seeing our artists' work
distributed through Vixo's Internet and mobile platforms," said Sonorum CEO Sandra Scheine. "While we
appreciate our existing partnerships with some of Vixo's competitors, none of them have the reach that Vixo
has."

Vixo has more than 180 million regular users, whereas the next largest streaming service, SoundStonn, has
only 20 million. — [3] —. The way the sites are used explains the disparity. Most people visit Vixo to watch
free videos rather than to stream music. Meanwhile, over 48 percent of Soundstonn's users subscribe to the
site for a monthly fee so they can listen to music. — [4] —. It is unknown whether Vixo Mob's users would
be willing to do the same.

Subject: Furniture
Date: June 25
Attachment: Furniture Images

Dear Martha,
Thank you so much for the e-mail yesterday containing photographs and details of some items you have
found that may be appropriate for my new house. I can see that you have a clear idea of the design and
look I'm going for, and I appreciate your effort. I have selected some of the items you recommended, as I
think they will match well with the contemporary look of the home, and the furnishings and decor items I
already have:
For the living room: The Pendleton ottoman and an armchair
For the dining room: The Regency International oak high-backed chairs and dining table
For the kitchen; The Best-West set of two wood chairs and a small circular table
For the music room: The leather couch from Fulton Furnishings and the two-person sofa in black from
Eversmith Interiors
Attached to this e-mail are photos of some of the furniture items I will be bringing with me to my new
house. I hope that you can incorporate them into your final designs.
I also visited Bards Flardware Supplies to check out the selection of paint as you recommended. I do like
the hues you suggested for the kitchen and dining area, but I think I would prefer something less colorful
than yellow for the living and music rooms. I think I would like something more neutral like white,
brown, or gray.
I look forward to meeting with you again next week to see your design proposals and to leam about some
of the other features you plan to include.
Regards,

To: Mark Summers <msummers@speedmail.com>

Subject: Re: Furniture
Date: June 25

Hi Mark,
Thanks for sending me the photographs. You have some lovely pieces, and I've
already started incorporating them into your home design plan.
I don't really have any Issues with the furniture you've selected to purchase, but I
will say that the two-person sofa seems far too big for the space you have. You may
want to consider a one-seat armchair of the same style produced by the same

254 Hackers.co.kr
company, as it would fit better in that location.
With regard to the paint colors, I will go ahead and place an order for the blue and
yellow paint for the kitchen and dining room, respectively. If you'd like something
neutral for the other two rooms you mentioned, I would say that a beige or ivory
color would go very well with the furnishings you have selected for them. However,
if you prefer brown or gray, I can work with those preferences as well.
Anyway, my team and I are already hard at work on this project. I also have some
fabric samples for curtains and cushions, which we can go through together during
our meeting next week on June 29.
In the meantime, please feel free to get in touch if you have any other requests or
requirements.
Best Regards,
Martha

Coming Soon ... Duty-Free Shopping at Botwell Department Store


Botwell Department Store, situated in the heart of Cape Town, is pleased to announce that on April 12 it
will be opening a new duty-free store designed for all international travelers. Located on Botwell's fifth
floor, the establishment will feature luxury goods such as cosmetics, perfumes, liquors, jewelry, and
more. In celebration of the opening, all items by Moreno Luggage and Lydia Cosmetics will be marked
down by 20 percent until May 15. To buy any product being sold in the duty-free store, customers will
need to provide a passport and a ticket that will be used for an international departure within 28 days.
Those who are members of the Botwell Frequent Shopper program can receive an additional 10 percent
off all duty-free products.

BOTWELL DEPARTMENT STORE


I'm very grateful to everyone for helping to make the first week of our duty-free store a success.
Overall, I am pleased with your efforts and with how well the store ran. However, there are a few
important things to take note of.
First, I received a number of complaints about our voucher program. Please recall that it is our
policy to give vouchers to customers who make purchases totaling $500 or more. These vouchers
allow them to take advantage of discounts on our partner establishments' Web sites. Please
remember to give one to every eligible customer.
Second, if a member of our frequent shopper program has lost his or her card, we cannot offer the
reduced price. However, shoppers may keep their receipts and get reimbursed for the difference
once the card has been located or replaced.
Thank you for your attention to these matters, and keep up the good work.

Questions 158-161 refer to the following article.

Gordon Institute Publishes Study on Americans' Eating and Exercise Habits

In its last survey conducted a decade ago, the Gordon Institute found that many Americans were not as
active as they should be and often ate excessively. Now, the Atlanta-based nonprofit organization has
released the comprehensive results of a new survey on the same topic.
According to the survey, 45 percent of Americans exercise once a week for 30 minutes a day or more.
An additional 25 percent exercise three times a week for 30 minutes a day or more, and a further
10 percent exercise at least 30 minutes every day of the week. — [1] —.
Of the Americans who do exercise, 65 percent say they jog slowly, 25 percent say they lift weights,
and the remaining 10 percent say they walk long distances or perform other activities. — [2] —. About
40 percent of this group say they don't make any effort to regulate their food intake, while about
60 percent say they strive to eat healthily at least some of the time. — [3] —.
These results make for an interesting comparison to a similar survey the Gordon Institute published
20 years ago. In that survey, only 23 percent of Americans said they exercised at least once a week.
Furthermore, the percentage of those monitoring their food intake and endeavoring to make smart food
choices has risen 11 percent. — [4] —.

Questions 172-175 refer to the following online chat.

O Andrew Walker [4:45] Revenco is growing faster than we could ever have imagined, and
although we receive resumes all the time, the majority of applicants
do not seem appropriate for our needs.
Jolene Gibson [4:46] I agree. We need to focus on recruiting talented people who already
have experience. WeVe participated in job fairs in the past, but the
problem is that most people at those sorts of events are recent
graduates.

o Andrew Walker [4:47] To attract potential candidates, we need to get the word out that
we're hiring and offer a competitive compensation package. Does
anyone have any ideas?
Luke Gamier [4:49] Well, I suppose we could actively browse profiles on employment
Web sites and directly contact people who meet all our criteria.
Alice Page [4:50] I like the idea of reaching out to specific candidates who we would
want to work for us. There's just one thing. I think corresponding
back and forth with each of them could take a lot of time.

o Andrew Walker [4:51] What do you propose then?


Alice Page [4:52] We can hold an open house either here at headquarters or at the
Pendleton branch and only invite people we're interested in hiring.
They can get a chance to see our offices, meet the staff, and learn
about some of the projects we're working on.
Jolene Gibson [4:54] That sounds like a really good idea. It would help with the screening
process, too. Those who respond to our invitation and come will
show us that they're genuinely interested.

o Andrew Walker [4:55] I like it, too. Alice and Luke, I'd like you to start making a list of
names. We'll work on organizing an open house once that's done.
Alice Page [4:57] Great. I'll get started right away

Subject: Problems with Ped-Routes Mobile App
Date: April 30

Dear Ms. Hawk,

I recently downloaded your group's mobile application and wanted to mention an issue I
encountered. I tried to use it to find my way around Providence. I just moved here last month for a
job, so I'm still unfamiliar with the area. While I found that the app successfully guided me down
some quiet, pleasant streets, it also once suggested that I take a much longer route than necessary.
I followed the suggested route, and I later calculated that it took me over 40 minutes longer than
the most direct route would have.

I appreciate that the application is primarily designed for bicyclists, but I still feel that this flaw
needs to be addressed to make the software more useful. With that said, I would like to commend
your organization for the general quality of the interface and the impressive speed at which the
app works.

Charles,
I compiled a report regarding the advertisements we ran in Shelton Media's community newsletters
over the course of the past 12 months in an effort to reach more local clients. I've attached it for your
convenience.
Based on the number of service inquiries we received from clients who had seen the ads, I
recommend we advertise in the newsletter again for the same amount of time. We paid $233 per ad
last time, but I think we should print our new one in the next size smaller to save some money. There
is also the smallest size, which is even cheaper, but I think it would be difficult to fit all the content we
need into a space that limited. I believe we should get our new ads into the newsletter as soon as
possible because it's almost spring and our services will be more in demand.

Posted by Enrique Turner on February 10

I recently got back from Borderland Tours' 30-day Sahara Tour. At first, all I could focus on was
what we were going to eat. I had been excited to try African cuisine, but I generally found it to be
disappointing. Because we didn't stop anywhere for very long, the tour company provided most of
the meals, which became repetitive. Anyway, the journey started in Morocco. We drove through
Marrakech, Meknes, and Fez before traveling by camel to where the desert meets the ocean.
From there, we crossed the border into Western Sahara and continued along the coast to
Mauritania. In Mauritania, travelers can choose to go south to Nouakchott, camp out in Banc
d' Auguin, take a train to Atar, or join a camel caravan to Tagant. The majority of our group
wanted to go by caravan, so that's what we ultimately did. It wasn't my first choice, but I was

Autumn Leaf to Open Second Location in Buenos Aires


By Leonard Oldinan
Autumn Leaf Hotels has announced plans to open a second branch in Buenos Aires' Liniers district.
Autumn Leaf public relations director Angelo Suarez said that the new hotel will be more like a
temporary apartment building for businesspeople visiting the city. "There is a lot of demand from
visitors who need to stay in Buenos Aires for long periods of time but don't wish to spend a fortune on
a full-service hotel," he said. He went on to say that the hotel will consist of large units with living
areas as well as kitchens so that guests can prepare their own meals. Although the new hotel will not
house a restaurant or offer room-service like the main branch in Monserrat, there will be a 24-hour cafe
on the ground floor, housekeeping staff, and a concierge desk. The hotel will open sometime in August,
and prospective guests may make bookings or inquire about rates at www.autumnleafhotels.com.

Dear Mr. Oldman,


Thank you for writing the article about our hotel chain's expansion. We appreciate the publicity.
However, there were a couple of errors. The article mentioned that bookings for the new hotel can
already be made on our Web site. We have been receiving inquiries from readers of your article
about this, but unfortunately, your information isn't accurate. We will only start accepting reservations
several weeks before our opening date, which hasn't been established yet. Your article specified the
month the hotel would likely open, but we are actually planning for somewhat later than that.
I would be grateful if your publication printed corrections in an upcoming issue.

Sincerely yours,

Notice to All Library Users

Please note that over the next month, the West Springs Library will be
moving from its current location to a much larger space that will allow
us to provide more and better services to our users. We have signed a
lease to occupy the former Benchmark Cinema building on the corner
of Wentworth Rise and 9th Avenue, and we will be renovating the
structure before relocating our collection there. This building is in a
more central location, which will allow us to reach more library users.

Unfortunately, the process of moving will create some temporary


disturbances to our services. Users will not be able to borrow any items
from the library after April 6, and we ask that all items currently out on
loan be returned by April 13. After this, the library will be closed from
April 14 until May 1, when our new location is expected to open. We
are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. The nearest public
library available to you during the closure will be the facility in Coach
Hill.

Thank you for your understanding.

March 3
Judy Mayer
Whole Nutrition Pet Foods, Inc.
1930 Industrial Street
Lawton, OK 73501
Dear Ms. Mayer,
I am writing to apply for the position of manufacturing plant electrician for your Lawton
location. I have been a certified electrician for 15 years. I recently left my job of three years
at the Oklahoma City facility of Loyalty Limited to relocate to Lawton. I am now seeking
employment and your advertised job would be a good fit for me.
I worked on the general electrical needs of the factory and its equipment for my most
recent employer. My assignments required a lot of problem solving as well as electrical
knowledge. The equipment setup and adjustments I carried out regularly involved
computer technology.
About eight years ago, I earned an associate's degree in computer technology so that I
could work in the capacity of an equipment electrician. Since then, I have kept up with
developments in the field through training courses. I have included more details about my
accomplishments in my resume, which is enclosed with this letter.
Given my latest experience working at a company that manufactures similar products to
yours, I think I could make an easy transition. In fact, it is highly likely that your company
uses much the same equipment.
I thank you for your consideration and do hope you will contact me for an interview at
rilaney@postmail.com or at 555-9483.
Sincerely,
Rick Delaney

From: Mike Duff <mduff@farlington.net>
Date: February 3
Subject: Account information

Hi Janice,
This is Mike from Information Technology Services. After you gave me your list of newly hired
employees yesterday, I created usernames and passwords for them. Before I finish setting up their
personal account pages, however, I want to confirm that all their names and corresponding job
titles are correct. Here is the information I have:

John Firth: Personnel Associate


Margret Wurst: Account Executive
Leslie Yang: Assistant to the Marketing Director
Fred Braxton: Junior Personnel Associate
Jamie Martinez: Intern

I need to make sure I have their correct job positions, as those details determine what information
each person has access to. For example, an account executive will be able to view our database of
clients, e-mails, whereas an intern would not be allowed to see that information. Please let me
know at your earliest convenience what changes, if any, are needed.
As soon as I hear back from you, I can get to work on the account pages and have them up and
running in just a few hours. Once that is done, each employee will need to log in with the
temporary password I will send to their company e-mail accounts. They will then be prompted to
enter a new password, which must be eight characters long, containing a mixture of numbers and
letters. You may also want to recommend that they change their passwords quite regularly.
Best Regards,
Mike Duff

Subject: Re: Account information

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the message you sent yesterday. All of the information regarding job titles is correct. Please go
ahead with your assignment, and let me know when the personal pages are running.
However, you mentioned that interns do not have access to our client e-mail database. Generally, this is
policy, but I would like to authorize an exception. The intern we have selected is actually going to be
sending a significant number of e-mails to our clients, so it would help if she had all their contact
information on hand and could view past communications. I can make her sign a confidentiality agreement
if necessary.

New Peckham Gift Store Aims For Quality Above All


The latest addition to the up-and-coming area of Peckham is London Gifts. Opened just three weeks ago, the store
sells a variety of products created by independent artists, craftspeople, and publishers from across the country. The
store primarily specializes in books, artwork, and clothing—but everything has a British theme that appeals to
locals as well as tourists.
Most of the goods sold so far have been from London-based companies, but the shop has already begun
expanding its offerings, selling products from Finlay Street Books of Birmingham, Southern Clothing of
Southampton, and the Manchester-based artist John Stamp. London Gifts manager Stephanie Blanc is planning to
increase the variety even more in the future, giving shoppers an even greater selection of unique souvenirs and
gift items.
"There are already a lot of stores aimed at tourists in London," said Blanc, "but they tend to sell mass-produced
items. Our aim at London Gifts is to sell well-designed, beautifully crafted pieces that people will be interested in
for years to come after they return home."
London Gifts can be found at 12 Goldsmith Road, a 10-minute walk from Queens Road station, and is open
Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

From: Sarah Broadhurst <sarah(d)oceanside.co.ul<>
Subject: Business proposal
Date: February 3

Dear Ms. Blanc,


My name is Sarah Broadhurst, and I run a small business called Oceanside Woodworks. We are
based a few buildings down from one of your suppliers, Southern Clothing, and it was the
manager of that business who gave me your e-mail address.
At Oceanside Woodworks, we make a number of products—including coasters, placemats, and
artistic pieces—and many of them would complement the selection you currently sell in your
store. In particular, we have a range of products with pictures of characters from classic British
books engraved on them. I have enclosed our catalog for this year so that you can get some
idea of the merchandise we produce.
I am always looking for retailers willing to sell our quality products in their establishments and
believe that a partnership could be of benefit to both our businesses. If you are interested in
discussing this possibility further, I would be happy to travel up to London next week with
some samples to show you. Please let me know by e-mail or by calling me at 555-6366.
Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Sarah Broadhurst
Proprietor

Planet Voyage September Issue
The Solo Traveler: Seabird Ocean Liners
By Rica Foust
Seabird Ocean Liners offers getaways from Los Angeles to a variety of destinations on the West Coast
of North America. I booked myself a three-night cruise from Los Angeles to Baja, and must say that the
experience was well worth the cost of the trip. The rooms were modern, comfortable, and spacious for a
cruise ship. Housekeeping was exceptional and my stateroom was always clean.
Although smaller than some cruise liners, the vessel I took boasts a modest pool, a restaurant, and a
recreational deck. Because of the vessel's size, I found it easy to get the crew's attention and to get to
know my fellow passengers. In fact, I made several new friends on the trip. If you're not the outgoing
type, the crew organizes fun activities designed to help passengers relax around one another. Now,
whether your goal as a solo traveler is to enjoy time alone or to meet new people, I think you will be
satisfied with the overall experience. Taken against the backdrop of Baja's beautiful scenery, it was one
I will remember for years to come.

To Whom It May Concern,


I ordered a Flash-805 distance recorder on your Web site this morning. My order number is 7891000.
I told my coworker about my purchase, and she is also interested in ordering the same item since you
offer the lowest price she has found on the Web. In addition, she was intrigued by its ability to reduce
distortion automatically. 1 was wondering whether I could simply add her recorder to my current
order. If so, would there be an additional fee to do that? We just wanted to see if we could save on
shipping. Even if you cannot change my order, my friend will go ahead with the purchase anyway.
I hope to hear from you today so that my friend can take advantage of this limited-time offer.
Sincerely,
Chris Altman
