Riya Shankar [9:10 A.M.]

I received a customer complaint about our Web site yesterday. I was wondering if you have time to look into it now.

Noel Mitchell [9:13 A.M.]

Was the complaint about our Frequently Asked Questions page? We finally finished fixing it last night. Everything should be okay.

Riya Shankar [9:14 A.M]

That's good to hear, but the problem actually concerns the store content page. The customer mentioned that several images of our latest products aren't loading.

Noel Mitchell [9:18 A.M.]

If it was yesterday evening, it was probably because we were updating the pictures. But I'll double-check the page and get back to you right away.

Questions 153 - 155 refer to the following information from a manual.

Using the RoadRunner Sedan 12’s dashboard has never been easier. As with last year’s model, the car features an innovative touch screen interface that allows you to control various operations. — [1] —. These include playing music, finding your way with a Global Positioning System (GPS), talking on a speaker-phone, controlling the temperature, and much more. The first time you put the keys in the ignition, the interface will appear and prompt you to select a language. Once you have done this, you are free to use the system.

Each feature of the interface is represented by an icon. For example, to access the GPS, simply press the map icon. This will bring up a digital map with several buttons. Simply type in your destination or say it out loud, and several routes will be suggested. — [2] —. To access other functions, press “MENU” or hit the back arrow to return to the main page.

To connect your mobile phone or any other device to the dashboard, plug one end of a USB cable to the device and the other to the car’s USB port. — [3] —. Once it is inserted, a message reading “DEVICE FOUND” should appear. If you want to play music, simply select the song on your device and hit “PLAY.”

Please note that the dashboard and all functions switch off automatically when the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off. — [4] —. This is done to prevent the car’s battery from losing power.

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 asked to move to a new location or accept a different position. No changes are expected in regard to the number of bank branches serving customers. As for where the new headquarters will be located, details have yet to be announced.

John Mallet [3:45 P.M.]

Hi, everyone. You'll be happy to know that management gave me approval to send some of our people to the career fair at Duluth University next month.

Janet Chan [3:48 P.M.]

That's excellent news. A lot of students have probably heard of our company, since Go-C Tech is such a short distance from the campus.

John Mallet [3:52 P.M ]

Exactly, however, our budget is limited, so we need to decide which departments should be represented. We can't send everyone.

Melissa Kovac [3:55 P.M ]

My marketing team recruited quite a few new people just last month. You can leave me out.

John Mallet [4:00 P.M.]

I'll keep that in mind. And I think the accounting department should participate. Management feels that they will need more help when our purchase of Stanfield Incorporated moves forward. I'll speak to Susan Edwards about it.

Peter Mercer [4:01 P.M.]

I need to supervise product testing in the research and development department for the next few months. Can I send someone in my place?

John Mallet [4:03 P.M.]

Of course. Who do you choose, Peter?

Peter Mercer [4:05 P.M.]

Amy Lintan. She doesn't have a lot of experience, but she's quite knowledgeable about our department's needs.

John Mallet [4:08 P.M.]

That’s fine. Perhaps someone who has been employed for a shorter time can provide a valuable perspective on what it is like to join our company.

Questions 170 - 173 refer to the following memo.

MEMO

To: All Keenan Company Production Workers
From: Karen Pollack, Director of Manufacturing
Date: May 27
Subject: Overtime work opportunity

We are very excited to announce that we have received a large order from the Saturn Moon Corporation. Saturn Moon has sold a lot of our products and foresees a continued growth in demand, which is why they have requested that we fulfill a much bigger order for them than we normally do. The order is due for shipment at the end of September.

We are unable to complete the order without making some changes. In this regard, we have two options. We can stay open longer from July 1 through September 30 and assign employees to work 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.

If we have enough workers willing to work overtime, we will adjust your schedules. Otherwise, we will resort to hiring temporary workers. Thank you for your participation in this process.

SUBJECT: Venue Inquiry
DATE: March 28

Dear madam or sir,

My company is planning to host a celebratory meal for a longstanding employee who is being promoted to CEO. For the occasion, we require a room that seats 30 people comfortably and allows easy access for an individual in a wheelchair. We would need it for about three hours on Monday, April 30. Is such a room available on that date?

If so, a colleague and I would need to come over and view it to assess its suitability. Please let us know when would be a good time to do this. If you require more information, you will need to contact Paul McGuire at 555 - 7263, or p.mcguire@corsoindustries.co.uk because I will be occupied for the next few days attending a seminar. He is fully aware of our plans and can make any necessary arrangements on the company's behalf. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.

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.

MUSICAL RECORDINGS BY: SHAWNA KRALL

Midsummer Day’s Dream
Krall's first recorded album from the 1980s is a collection of mostly self-written songs, with some composed by collaborator Ken Lewes.The album sold 3.5 million copies and propelled Krall to fame.

Listen Here
In her second album, Krall collaborated again with Ken Lewes, and two songs they wrote together became number one hits.The album's strong social commentary appealed to many fans.

The Temptation
Many called Krall’s third album her best work yet, citing the interesting musical arrangements and intelligent lyrics written by Ken Lewes. Despite receiving the most critical acclaim, the album sold only moderately well 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. The album contains two new songs written by Krall and Lewes.

ATTACHMENT: New script

Hi Gene,

I got the revised script for the Tungsten motorcycle television commercial this morning. The client i 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 1 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.

SUBJECT: Re: Schedule change
DATE: April 9

Hi Noah,

I got your message about the scheduling change. I understand that James Nichols wants to delay filming by a day. I'm free to do hair and makeup for the TV commercial on April 12 instead of on Thursday, but I have to leave by 6:30 p.m. I have a function at my children’s school to attend. This should be fine as I’ve checked out the script and photos of the actors, and the makeup and hair are going to be straightforward. Additionally, the cast for the production isn’t very big, and Juan Carlos will be there to do any necessary touch-ups on hair and makeup anyway. If you need someone there for the entire shoot, maybe ask Diana Watson to fill in, as I don’t think she’s scheduled for anything on Friday.

Let me know sometime today whether or not you’d like me to do the job.

Thanks!
