Lagrange Clothing to open European stores
November 7——Radcliffe, CEO of Lagrange Clothing, today announced his intention to take the thriving clothing retail business into international markets, with flagship European retail stores set to open in London, Paris, and Berlin. Construction has already begun on a new manufacturing plant and distribution warehouse in Brussels, Belgium, and these are expected to begin operations in early February, just one month before the opening of the flagship stores. — [1] —
This year has proven to be a banner year for Lagrange Clothing and saw Mr. Radcliffe attend the opening of the company’s newest retail location in downtown Houston. “We’ve enjoyed unprecedented growth over the last few years,” he told gathered journalists today. — [2] — “By moving operations into foreign markets for the first time, we aim to establish ourselves as one of the world’s leading clothing manufacturers.” — [3] —
Today’s announcement will likely see a boost to the company’s share price, with financial analysts forecasting a 50% increase by the end of next week. This will undoubtedly bring even more attention to the firm, and it is expected that sales will continue to soar over the coming year. — [4] — - refer to the following notice.
To All Tenants,
Please be advised that the water supply to the entire apartment complex will be shut off between the hours of 10 A.M. and 3 P.M. tomorrow. This is to enable the replacement of some old pipes, which have become corroded and fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair.
The plumbing company has requested that all tenants take precautions prior to tomorrow's start time, as changes in water pressure can cause problems when the water supply is reactivated. To avoid any such problems from affecting you or your apartment, please ensure that:
• All faucets are switched firmly to the 'off position.
• Plugs are removed from all sinks and baths to prevent flooding in the event of high water pressure.
• Toilets in your unit are not used throughout these hours. Toilets in the lobby will be available as normal.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and appreciate your understanding while this essential work is carried out.

Can anyone help me with a problem that I’m having with my Viewsnap R-400 digital camera?
Faye Montero

I own the same model. It’s intended for wildlife photography, so if you’re using it to take pictures indoors that might be why it’s not working as you want.
Tracy Adkins
8:42 P.M.
That isn’t my problem. I bought it because I take pictures for a nature magazine, so I know I’ve got the right model.

I’m responsible for repairs at Viewsnap. What exactly is your issue? I should be able to help you.
Tracy Adkins
8:45 P.M.
The shutter that covers the camera lens is stuck somehow. It only opens halfway when I turn the camera on. Obviously, I cannot take pictures.
Faye Montero
8:47 P.M.
Can’t you just return it to Viewsnap and have them give you a new camera?
Tracy Adkins
8:48P.M.
I’m afraid not. My warranty has expired, so they won’t do anything about it.
Chad Wilkes
8:50 P.M.
I have dealt with this problem before. The issue is a fault in the shutter’s mechanism. Often, dust or particles become lodged among the components, which prevents the shutter from opening fully.
Faye Montero
8:52 P.M.
I remember this happening to me once as well! The technician took the back cover off completely, sprayed compressed air over the circuit board, and replaced the back panel.
Chad Wilkes

Ms. Montero is correct. Those steps should resolve the issue.

We primarily operate an online store specializing in classic styles of clothing and household goods. On-site we have a medium-sized office, a large warehouse, and a small storefront. The office would need typical cleaning, and we would require only floor cleaning for the warehouse. However, we are looking for a business that can also provide extra services occasionally, including helping us with rearranging the retail apparel from time to time. Would this be possible? I look forward to hearing more about your business.

City Sidewalk Gets an Upgrade
By Judith Motley
Yesterday, Clarkton city officials announced that they will be repaving some of the city’s oldest and most uneven sidewalks this summer. Several pedestrians have complained about the cracked sidewalks for a while and the city finally has some funds to address the issue. The first street to be repaired will be Kincaid Avenue. Construction begins on August 20 and is expected to last for two weeks. After the completion of the first sidewalk, work will likely begin on Palin Drive, and later continue on Denton Parkway and Cardin Street as well. Updates will be released periodically as they become available.

Hi Abby,
Have you heard about the sidewalk repaving project that the city is going to do next month? I just read an article about it. I think it could create a problem for our business since it will be happening right in front of our store.
Businesses are encouraged to remain open, but I’m worried that customers won’t want to walk through a construction zone to come here. I’ve already submitted a contact request to our city councilor and suggested another time that they can do the work. While I wait for his response, could you contact our marketing team and suggest making some large promotional signs that we can put out front? I want customers to know that we are still open during the construction and that they can still come inside.
Thank you,
Edwin

Do you feel the membership is worth the cost?
I think the $125/year rate is a little high for what my membership gives me in return. However, I pay for the membership not because I want the benefits, but because I want to support the broadcasting you provide. The rest is just a bonus for me.
What is the most important benefit of membership?
I really enjoy my copies of the HDA Broadcasting magazine. It is quite interesting and full of useful information.
Do you have any other comments?
I recently renewed my membership, but only my free passes were included with the thank you letter I received. Could you please send me the item that I am still missing?
