Raul Vargas Reveals Retirement Plans By Donny Chu Despite his flourishing career in the English League, Stallions player Raul Vargas wants to become more than a sports star. At the Soccer Federation Awards on Saturday, the newly hailed Goalie of the Year revealed his plan to quit sports and pursue another profession. “Lately, I have been thinking of giving up soccer,“ Vargas said during his acceptance speech. “Receiving this award is a sign that it’s time for me to retire.“ Such words were never expected to come from the Brazilian, who is the most treasured goalkeeper in the league. During Stopwatch Magazine’s exclusive interview with the player, however, Vargas explained that he made the decision because he has responsibilities that have forced him to retire from soccer. “I have reached the point where I have fully achieved my dreams as an athlete,“ Vargas said. “More importantly, I need to become more involved with my family’s corporation, an obligation I have put aside since I began my career.“ Being the sole heir of the Biobras Corporation, Vargas was originally groomed to lead the company. His parents sent him to Brasilia University to study industrial engineering, with the expectation that he would take up a master’s degree in the United States later on. While preparing to lead the top biofuel company in Brazil, however, Vargas was making a name for himself as one of the best goalkeepers in college. Because of his impressive talent, Vargas was offered a spot on the national team immediately after graduation. Thus, he set aside plans of obtaining a graduate degree and entering Biobras Corporation, choosing rather to accept the team’s offer upon receiving the blessing of his parents. Soccer fanatics witnessed how the career of the 29-year-old boomed. Apart from playing for the national team, Vargas joined English clubs East Hampton, Armorshire, and Hemel Finstead before he was signed by the Stallions. “I have enjoyed putting on exciting matches with my teams. It’s rewarding to bring joy to football fans,“ Vargas said. However, Vargas has made the choice to take off his uniform and venture into the corporate world. “Nothing is permanent in the sports industry. I have to establish a more stable career, and I hope this decision will allow me to do it. Nevertheless, soccer will always be my first love,“ Vargas said.

Xyther Software Unlimited Please use the form below to contact us. Name Caleb Guillory E-mail cguillory@bwmail.com Phone 555-6074 Subject Software Problem Message I purchased a software program at your shop on September 3, but I’ve been having some problems using it. I was able to install it successfully on my desktop computer. However, every time I use the program for more than five minutes, the operating system automatically shuts down and then restarts. The same thing happened when I tried using the application a second time, and it has continued to happen since. I cannot seem to figure out what the problem is. I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with this issue before the 90-day warranty ends. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon. To: cguillory@bwmail.com From:custserv@xythersoftware.com Date: September 28 Subject: Inquiry Form No. 95204-Received September 27, 4:58 P.M. Dear Mr. Guillory, Thank you for your e-mail. We are so sorry for the troubles you have experienced in using our software. In the past three months, we have received inquiries from other customers who also had difficulties with their purchases, so we decided to conduct a series of tests. The results suggest that defective source codes caused the various programs to malfunction: Web Browser is unable to load pages completely: error messages appear upon the start-up of Database Organizer: certain files cannot be opened using Document Manager: and Image Editor shuts down computer systems after operating for about five minutes. Rest assured, we have fixed the errors and would be more than happy to replace your software. Please do not forget to submit your official receipt when you return the item to our shop. And to make up for the trouble this incident has caused, we have attached a printable coupon that you can use on your next purchase. Sincerely, Customer Service Team Xyther Software Unlimited
