Questions 149-150 refer to the following e-mail.

To: All Residents
From: Dan Madsen
Date: 20 September
Subject: Georgetown Marathon

To all Thompson Towers residents:

The 25th annual Georgetown Marathon will be held next Saturday. This year, for the first time, the race will turn off of River Street and proceed onto Elmont Avenue. So on Saturday, there will be nearly 5,000 registered contestants running along the stretch of road that provides the only access to our Thompson Towers parking garage entrance. Unsurprisingly, Elmont Avenue will be closed to all vehicle traffic between 7:00 A.M. and 10:45 A.M. This means that residents’ cars will not be able to enter or exit our parking garage during this event. If you know that you will need to use your car during this period, we recommend that you make arrangements ahead of time for either leaving early or parking elsewhere.

For more information about the race, including maps, registration guidelines, and alternative parking locations, please go to www.georgetownmarathon.co.uk.

Sincerely yours,

Dan Madsen
Property Manager, Thompson Towers

Questions 151-152 refer to the following page from a handbook.

One reason that corrugated fiberboard has become such a popular material for shipping fresh vegetables and fruits is the ease of labeling the containers. Information such as the brand, size, and grade of the produce can be printed directly on the box after it has been formed. Although this method, known as “postprinting” is the most economical way of labeling fiberboard containers, it is limited to only one or two colors. Full-color graphics can be obtained by printing the information on the box before it has been formed. This method, known as “preprinting,” costs about 15 percent more, but many supermarket managers prefer it because customers are attracted to the colorful displays, which leads to increased sales.


151. What is indicated about corrugated fiberboard boxes?





152. Why do store managers generally prefer boxes with full-color graphics?

From: Takeshi Ishiguro
To: All Sevastya employees
Subject: Update
Date: December 13

Dear Sevastya employees,

I am writing to give you an update on this year’s sales so far. — [1] —. I am happy to report that currently our sales volume is up 20% from last year. This is due in part to the fact that we have been very successful in expanding our international reach.

— [2] —. In Brazil, sales increased 57%, which can be attributed to the Rio de Janeiro Fashion Show where our evening wear was featured. A similar trend emerged in Russia, where sales were up by 32%. — [3] —. There we anticipate sustained growth for the rest of the year, especially in our winter apparel line. We also saw sales growth in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but growth was a modest 10% due to fierce competition. That said, in this market, sign-ups for our credit card were strong. Finally, in Korea, where we have had our most successful international market launch thus far, favorable news articles about our products drove very strong sales.

— [4] —. Thus, overall, it’s been an excellent year so far. I am confident that our new program, which offers discounts to customers who invite others to shop with us, will begin to boost sales growth at all locations.

Sincerely,

Takeshi Ishiguro
Vice President of Sales

I thought I had been reassigned to the McMillan project instead.

Okay, I see.

Lynda McCann (1:19 P.M.)

I’m available on Wednesday and Friday as well, but only before 3 P.M.; i’ll be meeting with the sales team on Wednesday at 3 P.M. and the research team on Friday at 3:30 P.M.

http://www.nozawamotors.ca/newsroom

About Nozawa | Newsroom | Forums | Driver Stories

The new Nozawa 10 is finally here! We have made our dashboard navigation system fully voice enabled. With our Nozawa Navigation Interface (NNI), drivers can stay focused on the road. We have also added cupholders between the front seats, enhanced the back-seat speakers, and expanded the cargo area by 29 liters. Check out our new model at your Nozawa Motors dealer, and let us know what you think!

Do you have any comments, questions, or concerns?

I've been a Nozawa customer for more than a decade, and I recently got a new Nozawa 10. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but I am not pleased with the new position of the cupholders. Some air vents could have been placed there instead, and it would have made the heating and cooling system more efficient.

Like other drivers, I too have had some problems with the NNI system. I do, however, really like being able to fit more in the trunk, and this model's acceleration power seems to have improved compared with previous models.

If you would like to receive a personal reply to your survey response, please enter your contact information.

Attention Pink Begonia Farms Customers!

Also, we would kindly request that if you use our baskets or wagons to move your purchased items to your car, please do not leave them in the middle of the parking area. Thanks!

http://www.retaileropinion.com/ reviews/pinkbegoniafarms

I had a wonderful experience shopping at Pink Begonia Farms. Recently I was preparing a client’s property for sale, and I needed extensive landscaping work to be done. The front entryway needed extra color and greenery before I could show the house to potential buyers. Knowing nothing about plants, I asked the store staff to help me pick out an assortment of local favorites that would require very little manual watering or care. When finished, the house looked so much more inviting. Thanks Pink Begonia Farms for your excellent service!

From: Milos Adamek <milosa@wistartravel.org>
Subject: Travel arrangements
Date: April 17

Hello Thanda,

I hope you are well. I looked into available flights from Concord to Sumneyfeld for your writers’ conference and discovered that discount carrier Alterr Airlines offers daily direct service on that route. The tentative itinerary would be:

Concord depart: Friday, May 8, 8:50 a.m.
Sumneyfeld arrive: Friday, May 8, 11:05 a.m.
Sumneyfeld depart: Monday, May 11, 1:20 p.m
Concord arrive: Monday, May 11, 3:35 p.m.

I will book this as soon as you confirm. Keep in mind on your return trip that the Sumneyfeld Airport is advising passengers to arrive a full two hours before departure because of extensive renovations being done there.

By the way, you might be interested in an excellent Peruvian lunch place near the Sumneyfeld Airport. Just let me know and I will give you the name.

Best,

Milos

Milos,

Quick update before you book. I will need a few days to consider whether I should depart for Sumneyfeld on May 8 or leave one day earlier. There is an early conference workshop the evening of May 7 that I might attend. Actually, a publisher representative with whom I would like to talk regarding my latest manuscript may be in attendance! I will let you know shortly.

Thanks so much for your help, as always.
