Questions 158-160 refer to the following press release. | Press Release
Georgetown, August 12 — NTA FiberArts, a manufacturer of fiber optic cables, today announced a new line of high-performance cables to be released before the end of October. The new cables will be coated with a material that is 15% stronger than previous models, which were best suited for urban and suburban environments.
According to company spokesperson Anthony Lang, this new product will allow service providers to lay cables in previously inaccessible areas, bringing high-speed Internet access to 250,000 more households throughout the country. “We have the capability to bring high-speed Internet to areas of the country that are still using dial-up,” he said. “In this day and age, those communities cannot be competitive if they’re using outdated technology.”
Although these cables are more expensive than the standard version, several Internet service providers have already expressed interest. Northwest Telecall, which provides service throughout that region of the country, has agreed to work with NTA FiberArts to begin laying these cables in November, with service to begin in three counties in December. | 158.

Sofia Alvelo 9:43 A.M.
I’m sorry to hear that. Do you know when he’ll be back? An issue has come up with Zamexon, Inc.
Anwei Chao 9:44 A.M.
He’ll be away at least until May 14, but I’ve been put in charge of many of his tasks. What’s going on?

I don’t know anything about Zamexon. I’ll leave you two to it.

So they want to take the other company’s offer?
Sofia Alvelo 9:47 A.M.
Right. I need to know if we can make a higher offer or not. If we can do it, we should, because it would be difficult for us to find another manufacturer at this stage.

Questions 181-185 refer to the following article and letter. Arts and Culture Today
August
Chicago native Sofia Carla did not study art the traditional way. She dropped out of The New York School of Fine Arts after taking only one sculpture class to go on a quest to see as much art as possible. After seeing the most famous paintings in the world in Paris, classic Chinese pottery in Shanghai and traditional masks across Africa, it was simple bead bracelets in South America that inspired her. “I like jewelry. It’s the perfect blend of form and function,” Carla explained during our interview. She recalled her first encounter with Peruvian jewelry in Cusco. “I just thought, I can do this. I can make these, and I can sell these,” Carla said. It seems she was right. She opened Las Pulseras, her studio, gallery and gift shop, last summer in Chicago, and it has enjoyed considerable success in its first year of operation. Her bracelets have been profiled in Chicago Circle magazine and are being considered to appear in CNO’s television series about ancient cultures. So has the recent surge of fame and business success changed Carla’s ambitions? “I’m still that same artist who just wants to make unique accessories. Actually, my one complaint is that I don’t have much time for actually making jewelry anymore!”
