MEMO

To: All Employees
From: Don Wunder, Director of Facilities
Subject: Chanti Workspaces
Date: February 11

  

In a special partnership with Chanti Workspaces, five standing desks will be available to employees on a trial basis from February 20 to March 15. Standing desks allow you to stand comfortably while working. We will use the new Chanti B45 model, which is adjustable, so you can alternate between sitting and standing at the perfect height for you. Research suggests that standing desks can negate some of the harmful physical effects of sitting too much. They may also improve mood and overall health. Those wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should contact me. If we have more interest than desks, the recipients will be those who contact me first. Those using the desks will be asked to take a survey about their experience to help us determine whether we should make standing desks available to all employees.

Perth Daily Tribune

  

Beneath the Bright Blue Sea

(2 November)-If you are looking for Sara Nannup, start by checking under the sea. That's where she has captured all the images in her latest book of photography, Beneath the Bright Blue Sea.

Ms. Nannup began taking pictures when her father gave her an easy-to-use instant camera for her fifth birthday. When she went to university, however, she put the camera down to pursue a career in print journalism.

After she graduated, Ms. Nannup was hired as a staff writer by the Perth Daily Tribune and had little time for taking pictures. That changed when she attended an underwater photography workshop while on vacation in Bali, Indonesia. There her interest in photography was renewed, and she eventually left her job at the newspaper to devote herself to photography full-time.

Although she started with a child's instant camera, Ms. Nannup now works with advanced underwater cameras. To deal with wear and tear, she updates her equipment every few years. "Salt water and sand pose challenges for underwater photography equipment beyond those that an everyday camera would face," she said.

After years now of diving and taking pictures, she has yet to tire of her profession. "I still love being able to show people images of creatures and places that they have never seen," says Ms. Nannup.

Most of Ms. Nannup's work, including her latest release, focuses on the ocean around Australia. In May, however, she will travel to Greece to photograph underwater ruins in the Mediterranean for her next book.

I would like you to call the finalists, schedule interviews with them, and then make lunch arrangements accordingly. Keep in mind that Susan will be out of the office next week for a conference.

Questions 186 - 190 refer to the following article, Web page, and online order form.

KELOWNA (2 June)-A new enterprise is revolutionizing mealtime in Kelowna. Fine Fresh Foods is a meal-delivery service that was founded one year ago by Kathryn Mishra. The service allows users to go online and browse hundreds of recipes. They select the recipes they like and have the ingredients, with cooking instructions, shipped to them on a weekly basis.

Ms. Mishra first thought of the idea when she observed her friends' hectic lives. "My friends were too busy to plan, shop, and cook for themselves," she explained. "Most nights they would go to a restaurant and get takeout food. Some wanted to cook at home in their kitchens but didn't feel confident in their abilities."

Ms. Mishra has found a way to streamline the whole process. Fine Fresh Foods works with local suppliers-often small farms-that are required to be organic. The focus on working with local partners, as well as the convenience and reasonable price of the service, has made the business extremely popular. At the moment, Fine Fresh Foods delivers only within Kelowna, but expansion to other areas is planned in the coming year.

Petion-Ville, Haiti: Zaboka Guesthouse
Posted by Wi lford Gaines on October 7

I stayed at the Zaboka Guesthouse for three nights in April. There are several other hotels in the area, but in my view, this is certainly the nicest option within the price range. The lively courtyard and huge communal kitchen both present a great environment for meeting other guests. That was without a doubt my favorite aspect. If you plan to arrive in the even ing, make sure you get the code to enter into the electronic keypad at the door, as the street level entrance is locked after 7 P.M . This isn't something I was made aware of, so I had to wait a short wh ile to be let in. Other than that, I really enjoyed my stay!
