Since then, I have kept up with developments in the field through training courses.

Questions 168 - 171 refer to the following article There May be Hope for Small Regional Retailers After All! By Doris Bentley In the highly competitive world of retail sales, it’s difficult for inexperienced entrepreneurs to turn a profit when the cost of renting a store or shop is so high. But regional retailers don’t need to look any further now than the Bradford Retail Cooperative building, opening on March 1. — [1] — The cooperative is located in the building formerly occupied by the Mega-B-Mart superstore on the outskirts of Bradford City. In partnership with the city government, Phoenix-Star Properties has updated the structure and renovated it to house 160 small retail booths. Director of Phoenix-Star, Brenda Nixon, said, “the old structure was an eyesore ever since the store it once held went bankrupt. — [2] —. Through a very small investment, we have been able to revitalize the building into a location that is not only useful to the community but will help improve local economic conditions as well.” Phoenix-Star Properties provided half the funds for the structural changes, and the rest came from the city development budget, which is funded by local taxes. — [3] —-. “We are really excited about the opening! And given Phoenix-Star’s incredible success doing similar projects with other abandoned buildings in locations across the country, I am sure we will experience the same popularity here,” said city government spokesperson, Beatrice Guzman The retail units will be available for rent to artisans, craftsmen, and private businesses owners from the region. With rental rates starting at as low as $500 per month, Phoenix-Star has confirmed that 90 percent of the spaces have already been filled. It seems clear that the Bradford Retail Cooperative building is already popular with local entrepreneurs. -[4]- | 168 What is the topic of the article?

Questions 176 - 180 refer to the following e-mails To: Janice Vespino <jvesp@farlington.net> From: Mike Duffcmduff@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 | To: Mike Duff <mduff@farlington.net> From: Janice Vespino <jvesp@farlington.net> Date: February 4 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 I do have one further request for you, though. Could you make sure that these new employees will be able to log on to their account pages in the NetSurfer Web browser? I know we’ve had trouble accessing account pages with that browser, but as it is installed on most office computers now, please make certain there are no similar issues for the new staff I appreciate your checking in with me Best, Janice Vespino Director of personnel | 176 Why did Mr. Duff write to Ms. Vespino?

Questions 181 - 185 refer to the following article and e-mail 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 | To: Stephanie Blanc <shop@londongifts.co.uk> From: Sarah Broadhurst <sarah@oceanside.co.uk> 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.

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 | 186 Why did Mr. Whitmore write to Ms. Foust?
