New software |

Bradley, I’ve come across a new software program that I think will be very useful for creating checklists to organize our projects. — [1] —. It’s called Close Project, and it seems fairly easy to work with. — [2] —. Users log in to view a list of items that need to be completed for each project they are working on. — [3] —. This helps to keep better track of the progress of each project. There’s even a mobile application that allows users to take photographs to show an actual problem, such as a broken pipe. — [4] —. I’ve downloaded a sample program. Would you be interested in coming to my office this afternoon to go through it with me? Let me know.

Questions 164-167 refer to the following article.
New and Notable in Tarryville
Many in our small city thought we would never have a restaurant-delivery service. — [1]—. But thanks to two enterprising young people, we now have TLV Delivers! Alicia Kazarian and Theresa Cho were in their final year at the local university when they came up with their plan last May. “We were studying for exams one night and wanted to avoid going out for dinner. We were frustrated by the limited options available in Tarryville for food delivery. We wanted an easy way to find, order, and pay for our meals. — [2] —. But no such service existed here,” said Ms. Cho. In an effort to fill the food-delivery gap in Tarryville, TVL Delivers connects diners and restaurants on an online platform that serves each of their needs. — [3] —. Restaurants can reach a broader clientele, and customers can choose from an impressively diverse list of vendors, select and order their food, and pay through one of a number of online payment methods, all |
from the convenience of their home or office. The restaurants partnering with TVI- Delivers are spread across most of Tarryville’s neighborhoods and offer food options to suit any budget. — [4] —. “We think we’re off to a good start, but we already have improvements in mind,” said Ms. Kazarian. “Some food-delivery services promise that orders will be delivered in as little as 30 minutes. We hope eventually to deliver within a specified time, but we need to ensure that all aspects of our service are working properly before officially making that promise.” The head of the Tarryville Business Council, Barry Porter, expressed enthusiasm for the new business. “Of course, 1 am always excited for a new business to open here in Tarryville. But this is a business that local residents have long wished for. And, with the recent opening of Crisley Office Park on the south side of the city, I am sure TVL Delivers will be a success.”

Dear Mr. Tomasen,
I would like to thank you again for the opportunity to interview for the position of staff photographer with Slepoy Marketing.
