I recently received a last-minute invitation to a formal dinner. I bought a suit and needed it tailored as ---[135]--- as possible. A friend suggested that I use Antonio's Tailoring Shop in downtown Auckland. When I met Antonio, he gave me his full attention ---[136]--- his shop was busy. He took the time to listen to me and carefully noted all my measurements. He then explained all the tailoring costs up front and assured me that he could have my suit ready in three days, but he had it done in two! ---[137]---

Antonio has run his shop for over 30 years, and his experience really shows. He is a ---[138]--- tailor. I highly recommend him.

Special Announcement by Geoff Clifford, President of Moon Glow Airways

As many of you are aware, there was a problem with Pelman Technology, the system that handles our airline reservations. This outage has affected several airlines. It's been a rough week, but the good news is that it has been repaired, and we are re-setting our system. However, Moon Glow passengers may still face delays for a day or two. This most likely will include longer lines at airports. We have added more on-site customer service representatives at airports in all of our destination cities to assist customers with their flights and information. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

SOFTWARE TESTING REPORT

Version of Software Program: Konserted 2.5
Testing Dates: January 10–12
Number of Participants: 8

Software Testing Overview: Participants were asked to complete a series of tasks testing the functionality of the revised Konserted interface. In task number 1, participants searched for a concert in a designated area. In task number 2, participants searched for new friends on the site. In task number 3, participants invited friends to a concert. In task number 4, participants posted concert reviews, photos, and videos.

Initial Findings: Task number 3 proved the most challenging, with three participants unable to complete it in under two minutes. A potential cause for this difficulty may be the choice of icons in the menu bar. Clearer, more intuitive icons could make this task easier to complete for participants.

Dear Ms. Atiyeh,

To follow up on our phone conversation earlier today, I would like to extend to you a formal written invitation to speak at the eighth annual Mutamark conference, scheduled to take place this year from 17 to 20 September in Zagros. Because you drew a sizeable crowd when you appeared at the conference in the past, we will be making special arrangements for your visit this time. The Blue Room at the Debeljak Hotel holds only 120, so this year we are also booking the Koros Hall, which has a capacity of 270. We can offer you a 40-to-50-minute slot on the last day of the conference, when attendance should be at its peak. Please e-mail me to confirm your acceptance and to let me know more about your audiovisual requirements. We can provide overhead projection for still images if you will be using them again.

Very best regards,

Hi, Corinne. I just want to be sure that you saw the document I sent you. It's the combined market analysis and advertising proposal for the Keyes Elegant Home group. We're preparing it for tomorrow's presentation to the client.

Corinne McCall (2:53 P.M.)
Yes. I have just downloaded it. Is this about their new line of tableware?

Dennis Beck (2:54 P.M.)
Yes. I'd like you to read it over.

Corinne McCall (3:01 P.M.)
No problem. Would you like me to revise anything, or do you want me to just check that it is all clear?

Dennis Beck (3:02 P.M.)
Feel free to add information to the section "Advertising Strategies," since that is your area of expertise.

Dear Ms. Renaldo,

Thank you for your interest in selling your handcrafted items at the annual Staffordsville Craft Fair. Please note that all applicants must submit a $25 application fee, whether or not they want to share a space with another applicant. Moreover, all applicants must submit a minimum of four photographs of their work in order to be considered as a vendor. — [1] —.

In addition to photographs, we ask that you submit a rough sketch showing how you would display your work. Since you propose to share a space with a friend, local potter Julia Berens, it would be helpful if your sketch could indicate how you are planning to use the space jointly. — [2] —.

Also, because we hold the fair rain or shine, all vendors must supply their own tenting to protect themselves and their wares from the possibility of rain. — [3] —.

Finally, please be aware that every year we receive far more applications from jewelry makers than we can accept. We hope that you will not be too discouraged if your work is not accepted this year, as you are applying for the first time. — [4] —.

Thanks again, and best of luck with your application.

Dear Dr. Geerlings,

I am writing to thank you for your years of service on the faculty of the Jamaican Agricultural Training Academy (JATA) and to let you know about some exciting developments. As you know, JATA was originally established as a vocational school for agriculture but now offers courses in a varied array of disciplines, including cybersecurity, electrical engineering, and health information management. Our student body, which for the first ten years consisted almost exclusively of locals, is now culturally diverse, with students from across the Americas and Europe. Today's students work with sophisticated equipment, much of which did not exist in our early days.

To reflect these and other significant changes that JATA has undergone over time, the Board of Trustees has approved a proposal by the Faculty Senate to rename the institution the Caribbean Academy of Science and Technology. As a result, a new institutional logo will be adopted. All students and faculty members, both current and former, are invited to participate in a logo design contest. Information about the contest will be forthcoming.

The renaming ceremony and the introduction of the new logo will take place at 11 A.M. on 1 June, the twentieth anniversary of the institution. We hope you will be able to join us.

Sincerely,

Audley Bartlett
Vice President for Academic Affairs,
Jamaican Agricultural Training Academy

Ashley Montaine 8:54 A.M.: How did the interview with Mr. Erickson go?

Dan Campbell 8:55 A.M.: I really enjoyed meeting him. I think he'd be a great reporter here. He seems smart and organized, and his samples show that he's a great writer.

Ashley Montaine 8:57 A.M.: Brooke, can you contact Mr. Erickson to set up the next interview? Is that a problem?

Dan Campbell 8:58 A.M.: I'd really like to work with him. It is very important that he impress Mr. Peters.

Brooke Randolph 8:59 A.M.: Not at all.

Ashley Montaine 9:00 A.M.: Thanks. I also see that he has a varied work history. That will make him a well-rounded reporter.

Brooke Randolph 9:02 A.M.: When would you like to meet with him again?

Dan Campbell 9:03 A.M.: Ashley, I believe you will participate in the next interview. Note that Mr. Peters is probably going to ask why Mr. Erickson wants to transition from freelance writing to in-house news reporting. Also, Mr. Peters will want assurances that he's committed and will stick around for several years.

Ashley Montaine 9:04 A.M.: Brooke, Mr. Peters and I are both free Friday morning.

Brooke Randolph 9:06 A.M.: Great. I'll write an e-mail shortly.

Improve Your Office Environment Now!

Today's office environment, featuring numerous corridors, unexciting beige or white walls, and often rows of identical, windowless cubicles, might not inspire comfort, beauty, and energy. However, there are some easy, inexpensive ways to make your office space more inviting.

Air quality
• Add some green plants to the décor. Plants offer a natural filtration system, increasing oxygen levels. Nonflowering plants should be preferred, as they will not scatter pollen.
• A small, tabletop air purifier helps improve stale air and removes dust.

Light quality
• Take breaks and go outdoors. Even just five minutes before or after lunch break will provide your eyes with a respite from artificial light sources.
• Use desktop lamps with full-spectrum lightbulbs.
• Install double-glazed windows instead of blinds to reduce glare while maintaining natural light.

Stress relief
• Earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones can block distracting noise in an open office floor plan.
• Photographs of loved ones and places we have visited for vacation are reminders of our life away from the office. Select a few favorite pictures as important decorative elements.

Dear readers, if you have tips to add to this list, send them in and they will be published in next month's issue.

Lloyd Touring Company Review

This was my first trip to London. I decided to see all the major tourist sites on my own, but I wanted someone to help me discover the most interesting places to shop in London. My LTC tour guide, Larissa, was wonderful. She is an avid shopper herself, and at the beginning of the tour, she tried to get to know the participants. She was able to guide everyone to the shops that they were most interested in. It was such a personalized tour! And it was a bonus that Larissa also speaks French. My daughter and I were visiting from Paris, and we appreciated being able to communicate in two languages. The tour was very reasonably priced, too. I would highly recommend it. The only unpleasant part of the tour was that Oxford Street was extremely crowded when we visited, and it was difficult to walk around easily.

Anton Building

Clanton (12 October)—The planned renovation of the historic Anton Building by Jantuni Property Developers (JPD) is facing new delays. A JPD spokesperson says their negotiations with the city regarding a package of subsidies and tax incentives are ongoing and are proving somewhat contentious. According to the renovation plan, JPD must protect the historical integrity of the Anton Building while it creates a mixed-use interior, offering both office space and lower-level retail space. However, JPD's city permit to do the project is on hold pending the current negotiations.

This is making city revitalization advocates increasingly anxious. Aditi Yadav comments, "This plan to create useful space out of an empty decaying building will go a long way to restoring vibrancy to that area of the city. I sincerely hope that JPD does not back out. In creating their offer, the City Council should consider JPD's excellent record of beautifully restoring and maintaining several other historic buildings in Clanton."

Dear Mr. Rowell,

I am the owner of Lenoiva, a health-care technology company. We plan to expand our operations and we need new office space. The Anton Building is one of the locations in Clanton that we are considering. We have been informed that your restoration project of this building will be finished sometime this spring, which is good timing for us. We are particularly attracted by the easy access to public transportation services that your building offers. Do you still have spaces available for rent? We anticipate needing a space at least 300 square metres in size. Would there be any reserved parking for our employees if we rented there? We would appreciate any information you can provide.

Thank you in advance.
