Re: Opportunity
Date: May 9
Dear all,
I’d like to let you know about an upcoming professional development opportunity. Andy Chambliss, a top consultant in our field, will lead a seminar on trends in information management on June 2 at the Demiralp Center. I met Mr. Chambliss at a conference recently, and was very impressed. He started out as an information officer for Ellis-Iversatt Ltd. before joining Recall Force Ltd. as a senior data management consultant. In this role, he has helped many companies, including the Hong Kong-based Mahlmar Industries, develop data storage solutions. He is an original member of the Information Science Association (ISA), and has twice won that organization’s “Creative Data Solutions” award. He is also a member of the examination development team for the Information Management Competency Exam (IMCE), a new certification test scheduled for first administration soon at Inland Business University in Los Angeles.
I’ve directed Human Resources to assist any employees who want to participate in his seminar. Those interested should contact Jarrod Spalt. | 151. Why most likely did Ms. Moore write the memo?

Questions 161-164 refer to the following article. | Pate Takes New Approach to OntMusic
TORONTO (June 8) —Pop star Leila Pate has posted a message on her personal Web site declaring a split from OntMusic, the leading online music seller.
Ms. Pate recently became a co-owner of Saroto, an up-and-coming rival music store. — [1]—. Her message explained that she and Saroto’s other co-owners, who are also musicians, intend to “give power back to artists” by ensuring that they earn a larger share of the total profits from digital sales of their music. Similarly, she believes Saroto’s users benefit from the greater technical sophistication of its platform. “We are improving the experience of buying music online,” she claimed. —[2J—.
However, Ms. Pate also made it clear that she will not completely sever ties with OntMusic. “In appreciation of our long and mutually beneficial relationship, my previously-released songs and videos will continue to be sold on OntMusic,” Ms. Pate wrote. — [3] —. “Nonetheless, my future albums will only be made available there three months after their original release dates.” Music lovers who want to buy them before that time will have to use Saroto.
OntMusic has not yet made a public statement about the change. —[4]—. Purchases made through its store, one of the first entrants into the online music market, account for more than half of all digital music sales in Canada. Still, some warn that Saroto may be its most serious challenger to date. | 161. According to the article, what is one reason for Ms. Pate’s decisions?

Beth Ito [9:43 a.m.] That’s not good. Remember, the longer the restaurant is closed, the more likely it is that my employees will decide to quit and find other jobs.
Rick Stayton [9:44 a.m.] Yes, I know. We’re going to try to minimize the delay by working in other areas until the shipment comes. For example, we can get some of the outside work done.
Beth Ito [9:46 A.M.] Oh, actually, I wanted to talk to you about the exterior. I think it would be better to hang the sign up higher on the north wall, so that it can be seen from farther away. Do you think it would make that wall look unbalanced, though?
Rick Stayton [9:47 A.M.] Well, we’re going to work on the roof today. I’ll let you know when we’re getting close to installing the sign.
Beth Ito [9:49 A.M.] All right. Is there anything else you can do to speed up the process'
Rick Stayton [9:52 A.M.] Well, I can phone Cook-Demi Ltd. early next week to start coordinating the installation of the kitchen appliances you had ordered from them.

Questions 172-175 refer to the following post on a Web site. | Braydon Regional Park Authority (BRPA) update posting
Date: March 7
The five-year ecosystem improvement project for the western half of Braydon Regional Park is now in its second year, and the BRPA is pleased to announce that it is proceeding as planned. Under the leadership of Director Elaine Roteff, 500 trees of various species native to the area have been planted over a 20-acre stretch of the land, and efforts to combat the overpopulation of insects that harm such trees have succeeded. BRPA engineers are also stabilizing the slopes of hillsides that line Braydon Creek, thus improving the quality of the hills' soil and allowing the creek water to flow without blockages.
In fact, the project has been so successful that it has caught the attention of the International Forest Society, an organization dedicated to protecting the world's forests. Director Roteff has been invited to lead several sessions at its upcoming conference in Rio de Janeiro to pass on the insights that have been gained from the project, which is a tremendous honor.
Lastly, the BRPA is most excited to report that it has just lifted a restriction on accessing this part of the park. Thanks to the help of the BRPA's professional staff, it is now possible to take a two-hour guided walk around the twenty-acre area to view the project's progress. This free group tour will be offered at 10 a.m. every Saturday, except during the summer, when 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. tours will be added. The western area of the park may only be visited as part of this official tour. It remains off limits to the public at all other times to avoid interfering with work crews. | 172.

Hello,
I recently retired, and Rebecca Tucker, a coworker at my former job, suggested that I try your group classes to stay active. She said she finds them very effective. Before I visit the center to register as a member, though, I wanted to learn about what kind of options you have for classes that are held five days a week. I’m in my 60s, so I’m looking for something that has a mild level of activity and mainly focuses on stretching. Could you recommend a class that fits these criteria?
Thanks.

Hi Diane,
I won’t be able to come to work today for personal reasons, so I need you to take over my duties. One of these, of course, is acting as a manager’s assistant to Ms. Naquin, but since you’ve done that before, I won’t go into detail about it.
The only unusual task will be accepting the furniture delivery this afternoon, but the attached invoice contains almost all the necessary information. Oh, and I should tell you that the delivery truck will park in our back lot.
Also, in case other people are out of the office and can’t claim their furniture, remember that the wooden desks and bookcases go to the managers, the plastic desks go to staff, and the storage cabinets should be placed by the far wall of the office.
Finally, if Lance Gray comes by, give him the envelope on my desk.

Hi Sidra,
I just wanted to share an idea I had for the national SANBC competition next month. Remember how I felt like our performance on the twelfth seemed to be lacking something? I think I’ve figured out what it is. Instead of having the foam blocks on stage to represent other people, we should use actual people. We could dress them in grey, and maybe even have them walk around a little bit. That would be much more visually memorable. We can use a few people from other local troupes that didn’t make it past the regional round.
I know that this is a big change, but I really think we need to do something special to beat Donald Naidoo and the rest of Mastley Dance Company. Think about it tonight, and we can talk it over at practice tomorrow.

Ballet Earth, Co-Director & Performer | | Ballet Earth Wins Top Award at SANBC
(18 February)—Ballet Earth was chosen as the group division winner of the most recent South Africa National Ballet Competition.
Sidra Kirmani, Ballet Earth’s co-director and choreographer, expressed surprise at the group’s victory, citing stiff competition from runner-up Mastley Dance Company and others. “I can’t believe this is happening. Considering the pool this year, this is an incredible accolade. We’ll try to live up to it.”
The 13-person troupe was recognized for Haunting the Pavement, an eerie work set to a beautiful orchestral score. Dressed in flowing white clothing, the dancers moved gracefully among grey figures meant to symbolize busy pedestrians on a city street.
The SANBC, an event created to support nonprofessional ballet groups, will issue Ballet Earth a prize of R 12,000, while Mastley Dance Company and second runner-up Ballet Gosnell will receive R9,000 and R6,000, respectively. The remaining troupes will take home R 1,000 for their efforts. | 191. What is stated about the SANBC?

We have investigated the matter you brought to our attention yesterday and determined that, unfortunately, Mr. Benoit is correct. Contrary to what she told you, the employee who handled your account, Ms. Stefanski, did not have permission to use his music.

I apologize on behalf of Fischlin Services and want to assure you that Ms. Stefanski will face serious consequences for her actions.
