You will also be required to sign a contract regulating the unit’s use, which includes a list of prohibited storage items.

Every household in the building will be eligible to rent a single unit before May 31. After that, unclaimed units will be made available to households that want additional units. Since there are more storage units than apartments in our building and not all households may need separate storage, there are likely to be several available. Please express your interest in using multiple units when you rent your first one.

Questions 164-167 refer to the following announcement.

Sammons History Museum Special Exhibit

Sammons History Museum is proud to announce the opening of its special exhibit “Changing the Landscape: Mining in the Byerst Region” on April 3.

Copper and iron mining led to the founding of Sammons and many other Byerst cities and towns, and furnished a significant amount of the area’s income until just a few decades ago. Using real artifacts, “Changing the Landscape” will explore this important history from a variety of angles, touching on life as a miner, the uses of Byerst’s metals, Curtis Moss and other famous figures in mining, and more.

The exhibit has been curated by Fiona Chandler, Sammons History Museum’s head curator, and its funding was provided by a grant from the Byerst Heritage Association. The Byerst Historical Society also generously loaned some materials from its archives. “Changing the Landscape” will run through June 25. It will be open during the museum’s regular hours (10

Cynthia Gray (2:03 p.m.)

Hi team. Since I had to cancel our meeting on the Charleston trade show this morning, I was hoping to have a quick chat on here about it. Can everyone give me their status updates?

Victor Powell (2:04 p.m.)

I booked the accommodations and travel tickets as directed after the last planning meeting. Everyone should have received them in the first week of the month.

Khadija Abbar (2:05 p.m.)

Actually, Cynthia, I was hoping to talk to you about the trade show. I have a couple of ideas for creative product giveaways, and it would be faster to go over them in person.

Hyun-Gi Lee (2:06 p.m.)

I’ve been posting on social media about once a week to let people know that we’ll be attending. Next week, I’ll send out the e-mails to current and potential clients to schedule some booth meetings during the show.

OK, but I’m a little uncertain about including the part about how our product engineer came up with the idea. It’s cute, but it doesn’t feel necessary.

Cynthia Gray (2:13 p.m.)

Questions 172-175 refer to the following article.

Companies Work to Increase Recycling in Fashion Industry

Over the past two decades, clothing production worldwide has nearly doubled. At the same time, people are wearing each of their clothing items fewer times on average before discarding them. — [1] —. This means that the amount of clothing waste has increased, with much of it going into landfills. Fortunately, businesses are coming up with more and more ways to address this issue.

— [2] —. One such company is EverFabric, a textile recycling company based in Steenport. Like its competitors, EverFabric sorts the cotton items it receives and reduces them to a pulp, out of which it forms new fibers. However, the company’s patented fabric analysis technology enables more

detailed sorting, which means that some of the resulting fibers are of higher quality. EverFabric’s highest-grade recycled fibers have been used in Inger Apparel and Denney Sports products. — [3] —.

Martz Footwear approaches sustainability from a different angle. Its shoes are specially designed with the future in mind. — [4] —. When they are no longer wearable, their mostly-natural materials can be easily separated to allow for biodegradation (in the right conditions) or recycling. Martz even offers the latter service itself, and has teamed up with Nationwide Parcel Service to offer free returns of used shoes in order to encourage customers to participate.

For the planet’s sake, the two companies hope to continue attracting the industry and consumer interest necessary to make their operations successful.

To: All regional managers From: Heather Chavez Re: Announcement Date: May 15

Effective immediately, all Garmon Insurance management and staff are instructed not to ask job candidates about their current or past pay rates. The Rockwell state legislature has enacted a ban against the practice in order to reduce pay discrimination against historically marginalized groups. As a proponent of workplace diversity, Garmon Insurance has decided to mandate this change across all of our offices, even those located in other states. Our hiring guidelines will be revised accordingly. Please make your staff aware of this.

427 Grell Street, Melbourne +61 3 9428 5221 ∙ www.gs-studio.com.au

Grell Street Studio has been the recording home of some of Melbourne’s top musicians over the past 40 years. Mindy Briggs, The Emotioneers, and many more have made albums here. But while we are proud of our history, we always strive toward the future: the studio boasts the latest in audio technology, and we have just completed renovations to improve its acoustics. If you need a place to record your musical masterpiece, look no further!

Overview:

Grell Street Studio has a “live” room with ample space for a full band, plus two isolation rooms for recording individual performers. Though we recommend bringing your own guitars, the studio is stocked with some basic models, as well as a full drum kit, grand piano (tuning fee: $125), and more, all of which are at your disposal. If you need personnel, our experienced in-house recording engineers are available for reasonable rates, and we have many contacts among local freelance musicians.

Rates:

Full-day (10 a.m. – 8 p.m.) $500 AUD ($50 AUD per hour) Half-day (10 a.m. – 3 p.m. or 3 p.m. – 8 p.m.) $300 AUD ($60 AUD per hour) Nighttime (8 p.m. – 1 a.m.) $225 AUD ($45 AUD per hour)

Questions 181-185 refer to the following advertisement and e-mail.

I’m the representative from Grell Street Studio that you spoke with earlier this week. If you haven’t already booked another recording space, I’d like to give you the chance to use ours at a discount. We’ve had a sudden cancellation for our afternoon half-day session, so the studio will be free from 3 to 8 p.m. today. Since you’re recording an audiobook, which doesn’t require as much preparation as some of our other clients’ work, I thought you could take that slot. Because of the short notice, we would only charge you our nighttime rate. Are you interested? If so, please call us immediately.

Public Services Dept. Unveils New Work Order System

By Carolyn Woods PEARSTON (June 27) — At a press conference yesterday, Pearston’s Public Services Department announced that it has digitized its work order system. Under the new system, all of the departments’ crews that do on-site work will carry tablet computers that are connected to a geographic information system (GIS). The GIS carries information about the assets each division is responsible for; for example, as Stormwater Division head Enrique Herrera showed attendees, his crews can use it to see a detailed map of all of the city’s drains, pipes, and other structures. They can then instantly report and begin the process of addressing problems by selecting the affected facility and filling out an electronic work order form.

At the conference, representatives from several of the departments’ divisions praised the advantages and capabilities of the new system. Parks supervisor Tracy Kim said it would speed up repair processes, while Tom Andrews of Recycling & Trash Services pointed out that it would also reduce paperwork.

Attention, Public Services Department Employees:

In order to prepare you to use our new work order system, there will be training sessions in Conference Room A on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, June 14–16, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. All employees must attend one of these sessions (the contents of each session are the same, so attending on more than one day is not necessary). If you would prefer a certain session for scheduling reasons, please notify Annette Mueller (ext. 103); otherwise, employees will be assigned to sessions at the end of this week.

Review of “Architecture Tour” (Palm Hills Tours)

By Darryl Beck

This tour is a great introduction to Palm Hills architecture. It passes all the major sites, and the guide, Oksana, gives interesting explanations of their features and even some fun details about their history (you should hear her story about Merle White’s house!). However, even though our tour finished at 10:30

.

., the day was quite warm by then, making the cycling pretty tiring at the end. You really have to keep the heat in mind in Palm Hills.
