What Is So Fascinating About Japanese Whetstone?
The face of the stones will get worse over time. One of the crucial elements that assist with achieving this functionality is that the swords are created using two distinct metals that are forged and re-forged many times as a way to generate an intricate crystalline structure. Then again, after getting to be familiar with characteristics of particular sorts of stone, you can find one particular supplier who will provide all the stones you will need. This safe' pattern is reportedly an extremely uncommon characteristic.
After the block is designed for installation on a bench it's referred to as a bench stone. Each unit includes the accession of 1 oz. All sharpening systems arrive with 1 oz. After you have the equipment, it's simple to be sure it stays sharp using a whetstone. These machines generally include a tool rest that permits the wheel to stay steady when in operation. A grinding wheel stipulates the most dependable approach to sharpen your knives.
The finest quality diamond sharpeners utilize monocrystalline diamonds, single structures which won't break, giving them a fantastic lifespan. Both the knives are interchangeable, based on the type of job. At the moment, most kitchen knives are made from stainless steel. Various knives require the border of the knife to be put on the stone at a unique angle, based on the manufacturing specs. To get the appropriate angle, put the blade of you knife directly in addition to your stone like you were planning to try and cut the stone in half. Next, the blade will visit the polisher. Make sure you're using the correct steel for your knife as discussed in the past section on honing.
For all practical purposes, should you do an important quantity of sharpening, you'll need three or more stones. Japanese water stones are simple to get plane since they are soft, with a loose composition. A wide variety of stones can ensure it is difficult to pick out a workable combination. It's often used to refer to a little razor size stone also.
The larger The stone, the quicker you can do the job. Obsiously, synthetic stones are a lot cheaper in comparison to natural ones. Natural stones could have holes towards the center and the grit can change on various parts of the stone. Our large collection of stones from several well-known manufacturers will enable the connoisseur to locate the best stone for his requirements.
There's a fourth kind of stone, the nagura, which isn't used directly. These stones, too, are obviously meant to engender a grinding experience like that of organic stones. It's also a great stone. Smaller stones work equally well, they simply take a little longer. The finer-grained stones also get the job done very well. Sharpening stones arrive in a diverse selection of shapes, sizes, and material compositions. There are not any other stones that achieve such an ideal mirror polish.

A new model of HCV treatment access
Although the new drugs to treat HCV are very effective (at least 9 out of 10 people can be cured in 8-12 weeks), they are very expensive, especially for people who do not have insurance. Even for patients with insurance, co-pay costs may make treatment unaffordable. Prices are so high that state-funded programs like Medicaid are unable to treat all patients. This means that a lot of chronic HCV is left untreated, which can lead to liver disease, cirrhosis, and cancer. Two states in the US have developed ways to address the high cost of HCV pharmaceuticals. Using a subscription approach, the state contracts with a pharmaceutical company to pay a flat fee for a unlimited access to HCV medication for a set period of time. This means that states can shift their focus to treating as many people as possible. At STOP HCC-HCV, we recognize the potential for this model to transform treatment access, but understand the need for training more primary care providers to treat HCV so that every person who is infected can be connected to a provider who can treat them.
Learn more about what is happening in Louisiana here.
Learn more about Washington State's approach here.
If you or your patient does not have insurance that will cover HCV treatment, consider a pharmaceutical assistance program. For eligible patients, treatment can be at a reduced cost or even free. Learn more about available programs here.

With classes fully in session, it's time to see if your back to school content made the grade.
It's no secret that the back to school season is a big money maker. According to the National Retail Federation, the average family spent an average of $669 this year on clothes and supplies. Millennials even shelled out their own money to make sure they had the latest school gadgets in hand.
What did your brand do to capitalize on the financially-infused fervor that is back to school? Let's take a look at some brands that aced the test this year.
Walmart offers online tools
Like many brands, Walmart created several blog posts, including one that explains how the retail giant can save customers money, to promote the back to school season. However, the company went one step further with an online tool to help parents find their children's school supply list. With the Walmart Classrooms tool, parents could enter their child's school and get a print out of the necessary supplies.
Apple makes shopping easy
One of the most popular back to school marketing trends is to create a shopping guide. Apple, for example, put together this guide to inspire college students to buy electronics. At a glance, customers see a variety of products along with pricing information, the latter of which may make parents shudder.
Casetify cross-promotes content
Brands that used a diversified content strategy scored high marks this season. Casetify, a company that helps customers create smartphone and tablet cases from social media pictures, used a variety of channels to reach its youthful audience this fall. The company focused on email and social media marketing to maximize exposure this year, Jennie Yoon, business development specialist for Casetify, says.
The company used additional incentives in concert with their marketing campaign. "This season more players in the eCommerce industry worked to earn back-to-school dollars," Yoon says. "More people are shopping online and when companies like ours offer free shipping, customers realize that it's never been easier to shop from home."
Crayola giveaway generates social media buzz
How many of your friends posted a picture of their kids on the first day of school on Facebook? A ton, right? Well, Crayola decided to encourage this picture-posting frenzy by asking parents to share photos as part of a back to school giveaway. Parents love taking pictures of their kids, so it's no surprise that this marketing tactic blew up Crayola's social channels. The company even made a collage of social entries on its website.
IntelliResponse uses infographics to reach millennials
IntelliResponse, a company that offers virtual question and answer support to college students, created an infographic as part of its back to school marketing plan.
"The millennial infographic provides crucial insight into how today's college students are looking to interact with organizations," Tim Peters, Director of Marketing at IntelliResponse, explains. "They don't always want to have a face-to-face conversation anymore. Millennials want quick and easy answers to their questions across digital channels."
Rating your content
While the examples above highlight some of the latest marketing trends, you're probably wondering how to tell if your efforts were successful. Here is a quick list of questions to run through to explore your return on investment.
What do the metrics say?
From page visits to Facebook likes, get your hands on the numbers to see just how well your back to school campaigns did.
Was it engaging?
One of the great things about content marketing is that you can encourage interaction. Were readers commenting on your posts and sharing it on social media? Engagement is another barometer of success.
Did you use more than one channel?
Some of the most successful back to school efforts used not one, but several modes of communication. From emails to blogs; infographics to social posts, did you promote your content on several channels? If not, prepare to make adjustments next year.
Was the content creative and useful?
It's one thing to write creative content, but it's another to write creative and useful content. All of the examples above went beyond the basic blog post and gave readers something of value.

Brief History of Kilbrittain Church
Kilbrittain Parish Church was built in 1790. The priest at the time was Fr. Patrick Geran OSF (1760 – 1814). It was extended sometime in the 1840's. The Church was dedicated to St. Patrick on the 10th of June 1892. The steps up to the main door were modified in the late 1950s. The sanctuary was reordered in the late 1960s when the altar and surrounding Connemara marble were put in place. New colour glass windows were put in in 1968. The church was refurbished and reordered in 1981. The Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated on the 5th July 1981. The mansard roof effect was added at that stage to protect the walls from weather. In 2004 the roof was reslated and slightly modified at the south end and in 2007 a new floor was laid in concrete.
Pastoral Areas
Kilbrittain Parish belongs to the Pastoral Area consisting of a group of five parishes, Bandon, Enniskeane, Innishannon, Kilbrittain and Newcestown. Canon John Kingston of Bandon has been appointed Coordinator of this area.
Parish Records
Marriage records go back to August 1810. Baptismal records go back to July 1811. Unfortunately in the very early years there is just a list of names and no date of baptism. Up to 1923 there is only a date of baptism. After that the date of birth is also recorded.

Three sides of a story
In today(May 5th)'s INBOX, Patrick Donnelly cited Kevin Libin's National Post report about Chinese consulates arresting a trespassing protester. The Chinese "reportedly" threatened the protester's life.
No, that's a wrong citation. It is only reported that the president of the Tibetan Community of Alberta said so. Let's hear from the other two sides of the story, from the same National Post report.
Staff Sergeant Barry Balerud said Tuesday a report from officers called to the scene makes no mention of any threats or physical force.
Chinese officials of the consulate were not reached to comment. Their voice is mute.
I think the case is clear enough after you read the police officer's comment. If the president of the Tibetan Community of Alberta was telling the truth, the Chinese officials "blew smoke in his face...handcuffed him and twisted his hands . . .tore apart his pants...", he should have reported that to police to start an investigation. But he chose not to do so, but to tell the reporter. I think you know why. This is a free country, and you can say anything to a reporter.
"Handcuffed". Yes, if someone step into my lawn and cursing me, I would arrest him and handcuff him as well, before the police come.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro) was created by an interstate compact in 1967 to plan, develop, build, finance, and operate a balanced regional transportation system in the national capital area. Metro began building its rail system in 1969, acquired four regional bus systems in 1973, and began operating the first phase of Metrorail in 1976. Today, Metrorail serves 91 stations and has 117 miles of track. Metrobus serves the nation's capital 24 hours a day, seven days a week with 1,500 buses. Metrorail and Metrobus serve a population of approximately 4 million within a 1,500-square mile jurisdiction. Metro began its paratransit service, MetroAccess, in 1994; it provides about 2.3 million trips per year.
Metro is planning a three-year capital project that will reconstruct the outdoor platforms at 20 Metrorail stations to address structural deficiencies after decades of exposure to the elements. At many of these stations, temporary measures have been installed to stabilize the platforms to ensure passenger safety until reconstruction can take place. The project is estimated to cost between $300-400 million and will be the first major construction project to benefit from dedicated capital funding recently approved by the legislatures in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Rebuilding platforms is heavy construction activity that requires that tracks be taken out of service to allow for demolishing existing structures, access to the construction area, and concrete pouring.
Metro has already rebuilt platforms at 10 of the system's 45 outdoor stations; however, the process used previously resulted in years of single tracking and customer inconvenience. Rebuilding the two most recently reconstructed platforms, at Minnesota Avenue and Deanwood stations, took approximately three years.
Following extensive internal planning and consultation with construction contractors with the goal of minimizing customer impact, Metro developed a program that advances the reconstruction of the next 20 platforms primarily using extended shutdowns during summer months-rather than single tracking-to provide contractors with 24-hour access to selected work sites. The approach improves safety while significantly reducing project duration because workers do not have to repeatedly set-up and break down their equipment. The approach also minimizes customer impact by allowing Metro to continue to provide normal rail service elsewhere on the system.
Under the first phase of the plan, beginning next year, Metro is planning to demolish and rebuild the station platforms at Braddock Road, King Street and Eisenhower Avenue stations, resulting in a shutdown of rail service south of Reagan National Airport during the summer of 2019. Blue and Yellow line service will operate at regular intervals between the airport and Largo Town Center (Blue Line) and Fort Totten/Mt Vernon Square (Yellow Line). Six of Metro's 91 stations will be closed between Memorial Day and Labor Day 2019: Braddock Road, King Street, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn Street, and Franconia-Springfield.
Metro will partner with the jurisdictions and other transportation agencies to develop traffic mitigations and customer travel alternatives. Metro customers will be given at least three months of advance notice prior to any service change under the program.
Following the 2019 summer shutdown, Metro will reconstruct the platforms at Van Dorn Street, Franconia-Springfield, Huntington, and Reagan National Airport between September 2019 and May 2020. The location and configuration of these stations allows construction to take place while all rail stations remain open. During this phase, rail service is expected to operate normally except for the Blue Line in September 2019, which will be impacted by the reconstruction of Van Dorn Street Station.
The remaining 13 station platforms to be reconstructed in 2020-2021 are: West Hyattsville, College Park, Greenbelt, Rhode Island Avenue, Vienna, Dunn Loring, West Falls Church, East Falls Church, Cheverly, Landover, New Carrollton, Addison Road, and Arlington Cemetery. Service plans for these stations are being developed, including possible coordination with construction activity associated with the Purple Line in Maryland and the widening of I-66 in Virginia.
Metro GM/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld on March 10, 2018 issued the following statement:
"This morning, the Virginia General Assembly passed historic legislation that will provide, for the first time, a dedicated funding source for Metro's safety and reliability programs. On behalf of all Metro customers and employees, as well as the communities whose economic wellbeing depends on a safe, reliable Metro system, we are truly grateful."
Metro today announced nine new schools are joining Metro's University Pass program for the Spring 2018 semester.
U·Pass is now available to students enrolled in the Washington, D.C. programs at the following nine schools:
At about $1 per student per day, Metro's U·Pass offers an affordable transportation option for students to travel throughout the region for classes, internships, jobs and other activities.
Since the U·Pass program began in August 2016, students from American University, Washington College of Law and Carnegie Mellon University/Heinz College have taken more than 2.2 million rides on Metrorail and Metrobus using U·Pass.
The U·Pass program is available to any accredited college or university in the Metro service area. The decision to participate is made by each university community.
Metro is considering the redevelopment of the Park & Ride surface lot of the east side of the College Park-U of Md station into a multifamily residential building with ground floor retail. The proposed project concept by a private developer is anticipated to include:
To implement this joint development project, the surface lot on the eastern side of the station will be removed. In anticipation of this project, the State of Maryland and Prince George's County financed the construction of the 1,290-space Park & Ride garage that opened in 2005 to replace and expand the number of spaces lost from this proposed project.
Curtain grouting is a leak-mitigation technique used to treat an entire area that is leaking by adding a rubberlike membrane on the outside of the concrete tunnel wall. To do this, holes are drilled in the ceiling of the existing tunnel until the exterior of the tunnel is reached. From there, a proprietary polymer-based emulsion (PBE) grout is injected into the hole at high pressure, which begins cascading down the curved exterior of the tunnel (like the way chocolate syrup cascades down an ice cream sundae). Two holes are drilled every 10 feet for the injections. The holes are then sealed at the conclusion of the process. The injected material forms a rubberlike impenetrable membrane, or "curtain," between the exterior of the tunnel wall and the surrounding ground medium.
The contractor has successfully used this solution in the mining industry to seal ground water inflows - some with flow rates of 50 gallons per second.
Metro plans to test this technique in the two different environments that exist along the Red Line segment - one in a linear bored tunnel and one in a blasted-rock cavern. The linear tunnel segment that will be used for the pilot will be a 2,000-foot section of the inbound track between Medical Center and Bethesda. For the second test location, Metro plans to use the entire Medical Center interlocking area, which is a cavernous space that was constructed out of blasted rock.
Metro is seeking feedback on the two proposed projects: surface lot removal for a Capitol Heights Metrorail station joint development project and a surface lot reconfiguration at the Morgan Blvd Metrorail station.
Metro is considering the conversion of the Capitol Heights Metrorail station's surface parking lot into a new multifamily residential project with self-contained parking for residents and retail space facing the Kiss & Ride area and the Metro entrance as part of a joint development project.
Metro's contractor, KONE, replaced the escalators two at a time in succession. The overall project took more than two years to complete, including site preparation, demolition and removal of the old escalators, installation of complex gantries and cranes to move the new escalators and supporting structures into place, as well as testing and tuning.
"Metro's infrastructure is aging and this is another example of the kind of investment that is needed across the system to provide customers with good, safe and reliable service," said Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld. "Before being replaced, these escalators were more than 30 years old and beyond their useful life. With these brand-new escalators customers will see the improvement."
With the completion of the escalators at Woodley Park, construction will begin Monday, June 5, to replace five entrance escalators at Cleveland Park Station. The project is expected to take 20 months to complete. The station's elevators will remain in service for the duration of the project.

If you are injured on the job in Oklahoma, it is important to understand your rights and to make sure you are properly treated for your injuries. Business Insurance details the recent case that has clarified the laws regarding who chooses the medical provider to treat an employee who is injured at work. This can affect reimbursement for services, so it is especially important if you are already dealing with the financial ramifications of an injury that occurred on the job.
Can your employer choose your doctor?
Employers sometimes try to skirt workers' comp laws
It's a dodge used by some unscrupulous construction businesses in Tulsa and elsewhere: misclassifying employees. Like most shady business dealings, it is done to enhance a business's bottom line at the expense of employees. An employee misclassified as independent contractor can be denied unemployment insurance and other benefits. Perhaps the most important benefit that they can lose is when they are injured and need workers' compensation, the U.S. Department of Labor says.
Legal assistance after workplace injuries may benefit workers
Oklahoma workers who have never suffered an injury in a workplace accident may be unsure how to proceed with workers' compensation claims when needed. Gaining the necessary information about the level of coverage offered by the fund, and the required steps to take if workplace injuries are suffered may protect workers and their families financially. Typically, workers are covered for both physical and mental injuries caused by work-related accidents.
Utility workers suffer workplace injuries when struck by vehicle
Utility workers and those working in construction zones in Oklahoma often risk their lives. They are sometimes the victims of workplace injuries, and although motorists are expected to reduce their traveling speed and be on the lookout for workers, some drivers seem to be oblivious to the potential dangers when they approach these areas. A driver in another state may be facing charges after she caused injuries to several utility workers.
Workplace injuries follow break of inappropriate scaffold plank
Oklahoma workers in the building, roofing and construction industries may be aware of the hazards of their occupations. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration says fall accidents are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry. Unfortunately, some employers show complete disregard for the safety of their employees, leading to severe workplace injuries and deaths.
Fair compensation after workplace injuries may need legal assista
When workers' compensation laws initially became effective, they was touted as an equal exchange between employers and workers. According to the law, workers who suffered workplace injuries are, in general, barred from filing lawsuits against their employers. Employers must provide employees with workers' compensation insurance coverage. Injured workers may pursue claims for benefits for medical care, related costs and lost wages to enable them to provide for their families.
Workers exposed to workplace injuries from anhydrous ammonia
Oklahoma workers in food industries where they are exposed to refrigeration systems that work with ammonia should be informed of the health risks they are facing on a daily basis. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently cited a meat-processing facility for seven serious safety violations that could lead to workplace injuries. The citations include four violations related to anhydrous ammonia management.
Worker's fall into sulfuric acid causes severe workplace injuries
Workers in all industries face safety hazards everyday; however, some industries have specific areas that require compliance with additional safety regulations. Employers in Oklahoma and elsewhere whose employees work in areas where chemicals and heavy machinery are present have to comply with specific safety regulations that are prescribed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Some employers disregard these regulations in order to speed up processes and improve profitability, but such shortcuts often lead to workplace injuries that end up having an adverse effect on the company's bottom line.
Workplace injuries by worker's fault eligible for compensation
Oklahoma employers are obligated to carry workers' compensation for all of their workers. Workers' compensation could be seen as a type of bargain between employers and their employees. It creates a balance between company owners and workers, whereby employers agree to pay compensation for workplace injuries, and workers give up their rights to sue their employers, except in cases of gross negligence.
Workplace injuries at cotton gin leads to worker losing both legs
According to the strict safety regulations prescribed by the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Oklahoma employers are responsible for the safety of their workers. They are expected to inform workers about the safety hazards of their jobs and provide protective equipment as a preventative measure to help avoid workplace injuries. When workers are expected to operate machines, safety guards should be in place to avoid workers being pulled into dangerous equipment.

Following the most recent bombardments leading to the death of innocent Nigerians in Kano, Adamawa and Borno States, Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) seriously condemns the lackadaisical, selfish and nonchalant attitudes of Nigerian ruling class towards resolving the ongoing heightening insecurity in the country arising from attacks, kidnapping and bombardments.
It worrisome that despite the intensity of attacks in various parts of the country, the ruling class has refused to engage in constructive dialogue to bring end to insurgency; as their family members and relatives are excluded from the attacks. Instead of making sincere effort towards constructive dialogue, they are caught in various conspiracies to make live unbearable for innocent citizens. This among other things validates the reports that the attacks are reinforced by political battle triggered by continuous bloody struggles towards sustaining their miserable positions in 2015 and beyond.
In addition to the aforementioned, Former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, and Former Chief of Army Staff Lt. General Azubuike Ihejirika who were indicted in Steven Davis's report for sponsoring the insurgents are brazenly found in political reckoning and supported to deliberate on national issues. It is shameful that despite such serious indictment, the Former Governor is leading the front to campaign for the ruling People Democratic Party (PDP). This shows lack of sincerity by the government in fighting the insurgents.
CISLAC finds continuous massacre—under the pretense of religion, of innocent men, women and children from both Muslim and Christians' communities totally obnoxious and undesirable; as both religious strongly forbade unjustified attacks against innocent individuals and preach peace and unity.
While in the last four years, huge financial resources are committed to security and defence annually from national budget, yet the fight against the insurgents rages on with deadly consequences. It is regrettable that the insecurity has been reportedly remained persistent and intensified by bloody interests accrued to some unpatriotic parties, who benefit largely from security vote; as well as rampant corrupt practice and mismanagement flooding the security sector.
It is embarrassing that in several occasions, the State Security Service has told Nigeria deceptive stories of thousands insurgent members it has arrested without useful information so far to curtail subsequent attacks; as well as lack of sincere effort to thoroughly investigate Sheriff and Ihejirika for their contributions towards the insecurity. Similarly, Nigerian security forces have made series of scandalous claims to have killed leader of the insurgents with his subsequent resurface in new videos.
Giving the daily massacres and destruction of property across the country by the insurgents, various reports are of opinion that upgrading arms and ammunition for the nation's Armed Forces to tackle the insurgents would be of no benefit without constructive strategy to end the unwary attacks.
As concerned communities declared readiness by exploring the idea of Civil Joint Task Force to strategically brainstorm on the effective medium and collaborate with Nigerian security forces towards combating the insurgents, government has denied them adequate support to bring insurgency to an end.
Consequently, the communities remain the worst hit by attacks by insurgents.
Apart from being the victims of regular attacks, security personnel are not adequately equipped, fortified and compensated to curtail the attacks; and the degree of attacks by the insurgents have clearly indicated they are well positioned to be at advantage of the ongoing calamity.
While the Armed Forces groan in midst of poor working conditions and inadequate equipment, the Government has showed no appreciative effort to call to account the natural and artificial persons who have mismanaged various security contracts resulting in failure in national security
Meanwhile, the recurring nature of numerous attacks have rendered thousands homeless without means of livelihood to suffer a lot of depravity and other forms of hardship including loss of income from inability to work in places where they are relocated as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across the country. The vulnerable groups such as children, pregnant women and the aged are persistently kept under trees and in uncompleted houses and left uncared for. Also, victims and communities of previous attacks have not been adequately compensated, rehabilitated nor reintegrated into their communities
CISLAC therefore calls on National Assemble for prompt declaration of State of Emergency in Nigerian security sector; for the unresolved massacre of innocent citizens and mismanagement of national security vote. CISLAC calls on immediate support and intervention by international community into the ongoing mischievous and bloodshed of innocent citizens.
CISLAC demands immediate and patriotic efforts to recover and return the mismanaged and looted various security funds back to the treasury; thorough and exhaustive audit of defence spending since the return to civil rule in 1999 by National Assembly and other relevant stakeholders; constructive and sincere efforts by all levels of government and relevant stakeholders to strategically dialogue with the insurgent and bring the merciless attacks to an end; rapid provision of sufficient means of livelihood in terms of food supplies and medicine to mitigate the plights of internally displaced persons, especially women, children and the elderly.

The hoardings at Volkswagen showrooms rightly say "why only Volkswagen can manufacture a Volkswagen". True to the statement Volkswagen, the German car maker never ceases to impress with its cars. The Polo cross hatchback is the perfect hatchback for the Indian road. The company has seen to the important details such as providing ample leg space between the seats and head room.
PROS : One of the major features of the car is its comfort aspect. The car is powered by three cylinder engine which is well suited for driving around the town. The car offers a relaxed driving ambience which is expected from VW. The Polo cross has interiors which look plush and one of the best in its segment. The car has most of the advanced safety features such as ABD, EBD and airbags. The steering wheel packs many functional controls and is adjustable. The car is sturdy and has a nice build. The most impressive feature of the car is undeniably the ride quality. The bumps and the potholes are not much noticed sitting inside the car. The visual difference in the cross Polo can be clearly noted. The car has a bigger front bumper and the fog lamps are round and thus clearly differentiated from the regular polo. There is a new roof rail which looks distinctive adding a new and unique look to the Polo Car. The car is equipped with electric windows which add generosity to the car, since most of this segment car doesn't incorporate this feature.
CONS : VW has tried giving the Polo Cross a distinctive character. But still some of the important aspects of the car can be clearly seen as borrowed from the Regular polo. The car has a decent engine and the engine specs are very similar to the polo. The car is smaller, the leg space is enough but not comfortable. The shifts are not crisp and the gearboxes when driving through rugged roads feel a bit annoying. The car produces noise when driven through fast lanes and feels the car body feels jittery. The car is priced around 7.79 L * and we feel the car costs more than it should. Most of the cars which are placed under this segment have a sub 6 L price tag and come with more power packed engines.
Verdict : We don't want to have a hard say but the truth being that the Cross Polo doesn't offer anything new to the Regular Polo series. It is just little bulkier and with more plastic claddings the car looks muscular for a small car and creates an illusion of being a proper hatchback.

Dolly Varden's pretty little head was yet bewildered by various recollections of the party, and her bright eyes were yet dazzled by a crowd of images, dancing before them like motes in the sunbeams, among which the effigy of one partner in particular did especially figure, the same being a young coachmaker (a master in his own right) who had given her to understand, when he handed her into the chair at parting, that it was his fixed resolve to neglect his business from that time, and die slowly for the love of her―― Dolly's head, and eyes, and thoughts, and seven senses, were all in a state of flutter and confusion for which the party was accountable, although it was now three days old, when, as she was sitting listlessly at breakfast, reading all manner of fortunes (that is to say, of married and flourishing fortunes) in the grounds of her teacup, a step was heard in the workshop, and Mr Edward Chester was descried through the glass door, standing among the rusty locks and keys, like love among the roses――for which apt comparison the historian may by no means take any credit to himself, the same being the invention, in a sentimental mood, of the chaste and modest Miggs, who, beholding him from the doorsteps she was then cleaning, did, in her maiden meditation, give utterance to the simile.
The locksmith, who happened at the moment to have his eyes thrown upward and his head backward, in an intense communing with Toby, did not see his visitor, until Mrs Varden, more watchful than the rest, had desired Sim Tappertit to open the glass door and give him admission――from which untoward circumstance the good lady argued (for she could deduce a precious moral from the most trifling event) that to take a draught of small ale in the morning was to observe a pernicious, irreligious, and Pagan custom, the relish whereof should be left to swine, and Satan, or at least to Popish persons, and should be shunned by the righteous as a work of sin and evil. She would no doubt have pursued her admonition much further, and would have founded on it a long list of precious precepts of inestimable value, but that the young gentleman standing by in a somewhat uncomfortable and discomfited manner while she read her spouse this lecture, occasioned her to bring it to a premature conclusion.
'I'm sure you'll excuse me, sir,' said Mrs Varden, rising and curtseying. 'Varden is so very thoughtless, and needs so much reminding――Sim, bring a chair here.'
Mr Tappertit obeyed, with a flourish implying that he did so, under protest.
'And you can go, Sim,' said the locksmith.
Mr Tappertit obeyed again, still under protest; and betaking himself to the workshop, began seriously to fear that he might find it necessary to poison his master, before his time was out.
In the meantime, Edward returned suitable replies to Mrs Varden's courtesies, and that lady brightened up very much; so that when he accepted a dish of tea from the fair hands of Dolly, she was perfectly agreeable.
'I am sure if there's anything we can do,――Varden, or I, or Dolly either,――to serve you, sir, at any time, you have only to say it, and it shall be done,' said Mrs V.
'I am much obliged to you, I am sure,' returned Edward. 'You encourage me to say that I have come here now, to beg your good offices.'
Mrs Varden was delighted beyond measure.
'It occurred to me that probably your fair daughter might be going to the Warren, either to-day or to-morrow,' said Edward, glancing at Dolly; 'and if so, and you will allow her to take charge of this letter, ma'am, you will oblige me more than I can tell you. The truth is, that while I am very anxious it should reach its destination, I have particular reasons for not trusting it to any other conveyance; so that without your help, I am wholly at a loss.'
'She was not going that way, sir, either to-day, or to-morrow, nor indeed all next week,' the lady graciously rejoined, 'but we shall be very glad to put ourselves out of the way on your account, and if you wish it, you may depend upon its going to-day. You might suppose,' said Mrs Varden, frowning at her husband, 'from Varden's sitting there so glum and silent, that he objected to this arrangement; but you must not mind that, sir, if you please. It's his way at home. Out of doors, he can be cheerful and talkative enough.'
Now, the fact was, that the unfortunate locksmith, blessing his stars to find his helpmate in such good humour, had been sitting with a beaming face, hearing this discourse with a joy past all expression. Wherefore this sudden attack quite took him by surprise.
'My dear Martha――' he said.
'Oh yes, I dare say,' interrupted Mrs Varden, with a smile of mingled scorn and pleasantry. 'Very dear! We all know that.'
'No, but my good soul,' said Gabriel, 'you are quite mistaken. You are indeed. I was delighted to find you so kind and ready. I waited, my dear, anxiously, I assure you, to hear what you would say.'
'You waited anxiously,' repeated Mrs V. 'Yes! Thank you, Varden. You waited, as you always do, that I might bear the blame, if any came of it. But I am used to it,' said the lady with a kind of solemn titter, 'and that's my comfort!'
'I give you my word, Martha――' said Gabriel.
'Let me give you MY word, my dear,' interposed his wife with a Christian smile, 'that such discussions as these between married people, are much better left alone. Therefore, if you please, Varden, we'll drop the subject. I have no wish to pursue it. I could. I might say a great deal. But I would rather not. Pray don't say any more.'
'I don't want to say any more,' rejoined the goaded locksmith.
'Well then, don't,' said Mrs Varden.
'Nor did I begin it, Martha,' added the locksmith, good-humouredly, 'I must say that.'
'You did not begin it, Varden!' exclaimed his wife, opening her eyes very wide and looking round upon the company, as though she would say, You hear this man! 'You did not begin it, Varden! But you shall not say I was out of temper. No, you did not begin it, oh dear no, not you, my dear!'
'Well, well,' said the locksmith. 'That's settled then.'
'Oh yes,' rejoined his wife, 'quite. If you like to say Dolly began it, my dear, I shall not contradict you. I know my duty. I need know it, I am sure. I am often obliged to bear it in mind, when my inclination perhaps would be for the moment to forget it. Thank you, Varden.' And so, with a mighty show of humility and forgiveness, she folded her hands, and looked round again, with a smile which plainly said, 'If you desire to see the first and foremost among female martyrs, here she is, on view!'
This little incident, illustrative though it was of Mrs Varden's extraordinary sweetness and amiability, had so strong a tendency to check the conversation and to disconcert all parties but that excellent lady, that only a few monosyllables were uttered until Edward withdrew; which he presently did, thanking the lady of the house a great many times for her condescension, and whispering in Dolly's ear that he would call on the morrow, in case there should happen to be an answer to the note――which, indeed, she knew without his telling, as Barnaby and his friend Grip had dropped in on the previous night to prepare her for the visit which was then terminating.
Gabriel, who had attended Edward to the door, came back with his hands in his pockets; and, after fidgeting about the room in a very uneasy manner, and casting a great many sidelong looks at Mrs Varden (who with the calmest countenance in the world was five fathoms deep in the Protestant Manual), inquired of Dolly how she meant to go. Dolly supposed by the stage-coach, and looked at her lady mother, who finding herself silently appealed to, dived down at least another fathom into the Manual, and became unconscious of all earthly things.
'Martha――' said the locksmith.
'I hear you, Varden,' said his wife, without rising to the surface.
'I am sorry, my dear, you have such an objection to the Maypole and old John, for otherways as it's a very fine morning, and Saturday's not a busy day with us, we might have all three gone to Chigwell in the chaise, and had quite a happy day of it.'
Mrs Varden immediately closed the Manual, and bursting into tears, requested to be led upstairs.
'What is the matter now, Martha?' inquired the locksmith.
To which Martha rejoined, 'Oh! don't speak to me,' and protested in agony that if anybody had told her so, she wouldn't have believed it.
'But, Martha,' said Gabriel, putting himself in the way as she was moving off with the aid of Dolly's shoulder, 'wouldn't have believed what? Tell me what's wrong now. Do tell me. Upon my soul I don't know. Do you know, child? Damme!' cried the locksmith, plucking at his wig in a kind of frenzy, 'nobody does know, I verily believe, but Miggs!'
'Miggs,' said Mrs Varden faintly, and with symptoms of approaching incoherence, 'is attached to me, and that is sufficient to draw down hatred upon her in this house. She is a comfort to me, whatever she may be to others.'
'She's no comfort to me,' cried Gabriel, made bold by despair. 'She's the misery of my life. She's all the plagues of Egypt in one.'
'She's considered so, I have no doubt,' said Mrs Varden. 'I was prepared for that; it's natural; it's of a piece with the rest. When you taunt me as you do to my face, how can I wonder that you taunt her behind her back!' And here the incoherence coming on very strong, Mrs Varden wept, and laughed, and sobbed, and shivered, and hiccoughed, and choked; and said she knew it was very foolish but she couldn't help it; and that when she was dead and gone, perhaps they would be sorry for it――which really under the circumstances did not appear quite so probable as she seemed to think――with a great deal more to the same effect. In a word, she passed with great decency through all the ceremonies incidental to such occasions; and being supported upstairs, was deposited in a highly spasmodic state on her own bed, where Miss Miggs shortly afterwards flung herself upon the body.
The philosophy of all this was, that Mrs Varden wanted to go to Chigwell; that she did not want to make any concession or explanation; that she would only go on being implored and entreated so to do; and that she would accept no other terms. Accordingly, after a vast amount of moaning and crying upstairs, and much damping of foreheads, and vinegaring of temples, and hartshorning of noses, and so forth; and after most pathetic adjurations from Miggs, assisted by warm brandy-and-water not over-weak, and divers other cordials, also of a stimulating quality, administered at first in teaspoonfuls and afterwards in increasing doses, and of which Miss Miggs herself partook as a preventive measure (for fainting is infectious); after all these remedies, and many more too numerous to mention, but not to take, had been applied; and many verbal consolations, moral, religious, and miscellaneous, had been super-added thereto; the locksmith humbled himself, and the end was gained.
'If it's only for the sake of peace and quietness, father,' said Dolly, urging him to go upstairs.
'Oh, Doll, Doll,' said her good-natured father. 'If you ever have a husband of your own――'
Dolly glanced at the glass.
'――Well, WHEN you have,' said the locksmith, 'never faint, my darling. More domestic unhappiness has come of easy fainting, Doll, than from all the greater passions put together. Remember that, my dear, if you would be really happy, which you never can be, if your husband isn't. And a word in your ear, my precious. Never have a Miggs about you!'
With this advice he kissed his blooming daughter on the cheek, and slowly repaired to Mrs Varden's room; where that lady, lying all pale and languid on her couch, was refreshing herself with a sight of her last new bonnet, which Miggs, as a means of calming her scattered spirits, displayed to the best advantage at her bedside.
'Here's master, mim,' said Miggs. 'Oh, what a happiness it is when man and wife come round again! Oh gracious, to think that him and her should ever have a word together!' In the energy of these sentiments, which were uttered as an apostrophe to the Heavens in general, Miss Miggs perched the bonnet on the top of her own head, and folding her hands, turned on her tears.
'I can't help it,' cried Miggs. 'I couldn't, if I was to be drownded in 'em. She has such a forgiving spirit! She'll forget all that has passed, and go along with you, sir――Oh, if it was to the world's end, she'd go along with you.'
Mrs Varden with a faint smile gently reproved her attendant for this enthusiasm, and reminded her at the same time that she was far too unwell to venture out that day.
'Oh no, you're not, mim, indeed you're not,' said Miggs; 'I repeal to master; master knows you're not, mim. The hair, and motion of the shay, will do you good, mim, and you must not give way, you must not raly. She must keep up, mustn't she, sir, for all out sakes? I was a telling her that, just now. She must remember us, even if she forgets herself. Master will persuade you, mim, I'm sure. There's Miss Dolly's a-going you know, and master, and you, and all so happy and so comfortable. Oh!' cried Miggs, turning on the tears again, previous to quitting the room in great emotion, 'I never see such a blessed one as she is for the forgiveness of her spirit, I never, never, never did. Not more did master neither; no, nor no one――never!'
For five minutes or thereabouts, Mrs Varden remained mildly opposed to all her husband's prayers that she would oblige him by taking a day's pleasure, but relenting at length, she suffered herself to be persuaded, and granting him her free forgiveness (the merit whereof, she meekly said, rested with the Manual and not with her), desired that Miggs might come and help her dress. The handmaid attended promptly, and it is but justice to their joint exertions to record that, when the good lady came downstairs in course of time, completely decked out for the journey, she really looked as if nothing had happened, and appeared in the very best health imaginable.
As to Dolly, there she was again, the very pink and pattern of good looks, in a smart little cherry-coloured mantle, with a hood of the same drawn over her head, and upon the top of that hood, a little straw hat trimmed with cherry-coloured ribbons, and worn the merest trifle on one side――just enough in short to make it the wickedest and most provoking head-dress that ever malicious milliner devised. And not to speak of the manner in which these cherry-coloured decorations brightened her eyes, or vied with her lips, or shed a new bloom on her face, she wore such a cruel little muff, and such a heart-rending pair of shoes, and was so surrounded and hemmed in, as it were, by aggravations of all kinds, that when Mr Tappettit, holding the horse's head, saw her come out of the house alone, such impulses came over him to decoy her into the chaise and drive off like mad, that he would unquestionably have done it, but for certain uneasy doubts besetting him as to the shortest way to Gretna Green; whether it was up the street or down, or up the right-hand turning or the left; and whether, supposing all the turnpikes to be carried by storm, the blacksmith in the end would marry them on credit; which by reason of his clerical office appeared, even to his excited imagination, so unlikely, that he hesitated. And while he stood hesitating, and looking post-chaises-and-six at Dolly, out came his master and his mistress, and the constant Miggs, and the opportunity was gone for ever. For now the chaise creaked upon its springs, and Mrs Varden was inside; and now it creaked again, and more than ever, and the locksmith was inside; and now it bounded once, as if its heart beat lightly, and Dolly was inside; and now it was gone and its place was empty, and he and that dreary Miggs were standing in the street together.
The hearty locksmith was in as good a humour as if nothing had occurred for the last twelve months to put him out of his way, Dolly was all smiles and graces, and Mrs Varden was agreeable beyond all precedent. As they jogged through the streets talking of this thing and of that, who should be descried upon the pavement but that very coachmaker, looking so genteel that nobody would have believed he had ever had anything to do with a coach but riding in it, and bowing like any nobleman. To be sure Dolly was confused when she bowed again, and to be sure the cherry-coloured ribbons trembled a little when she met his mournful eye, which seemed to say, 'I have kept my word, I have begun, the business is going to the devil, and you're the cause of it.' There he stood, rooted to the ground: as Dolly said, like a statue; and as Mrs Varden said, like a pump; till they turned the corner: and when her father thought it was like his impudence, and her mother wondered what he meant by it, Dolly blushed again till her very hood was pale.
But on they went, not the less merrily for this, and there was the locksmith in the incautious fulness of his heart 'pulling-up' at all manner of places, and evincing a most intimate acquaintance with all the taverns on the road, and all the landlords and all the landladies, with whom, indeed, the little horse was on equally friendly terms, for he kept on stopping of his own accord. Never were people so glad to see other people as these landlords and landladies were to behold Mr Varden and Mrs Varden and Miss Varden; and wouldn't they get out, said one; and they really must walk upstairs, said another; and she would take it ill and be quite certain they were proud if they wouldn't have a little taste of something, said a third; and so on, that it was really quite a Progress rather than a ride, and one continued scene of hospitality from beginning to end. It was pleasant enough to be held in such esteem, not to mention the refreshments; so Mrs Varden said nothing at the time, and was all affability and delight――but such a body of evidence as she collected against the unfortunate locksmith that day, to be used thereafter as occasion might require, never was got together for matrimonial purposes.
In course of time――and in course of a pretty long time too, for these agreeable interruptions delayed them not a little,――they arrived upon the skirts of the Forest, and riding pleasantly on among the trees, came at last to the Maypole, where the locksmith's cheerful 'Yoho!' speedily brought to the porch old John, and after him young Joe, both of whom were so transfixed at sight of the ladies, that for a moment they were perfectly unable to give them any welcome, and could do nothing but stare.
It was only for a moment, however, that Joe forgot himself, for speedily reviving he thrust his drowsy father aside――to Mr Willet's mighty and inexpressible indignation――and darting out, stood ready to help them to alight. It was necessary for Dolly to get out first. Joe had her in his arms;――yes, though for a space of time no longer than you could count one in, Joe had her in his arms. Here was a glimpse of happiness!
It would be difficult to describe what a flat and commonplace affair the helping Mrs Varden out afterwards was, but Joe did it, and did it too with the best grace in the world. Then old John, who, entertaining a dull and foggy sort of idea that Mrs Varden wasn't fond of him, had been in some doubt whether she might not have come for purposes of assault and battery, took courage, hoped she was well, and offered to conduct her into the house. This tender being amicably received, they marched in together; Joe and Dolly followed, arm-in-arm, (happiness again!) and Varden brought up the rear.
Old John would have it that they must sit in the bar, and nobody objecting, into the bar they went. All bars are snug places, but the Maypole's was the very snuggest, cosiest, and completest bar, that ever the wit of man devised. Such amazing bottles in old oaken pigeon-holes; such gleaming tankards dangling from pegs at about the same inclination as thirsty men would hold them to their lips; such sturdy little Dutch kegs ranged in rows on shelves; so many lemons hanging in separate nets, and forming the fragrant grove already mentioned in this chronicle, suggestive, with goodly loaves of snowy sugar stowed away hard by, of punch, idealised beyond all mortal knowledge; such closets, such presses, such drawers full of pipes, such places for putting things away in hollow window-seats, all crammed to the throat with eatables, drinkables, or savoury condiments; lastly, and to crown all, as typical of the immense resources of the establishment, and its defiances to all visitors to cut and come again, such a stupendous cheese!
It is a poor heart that never rejoices――it must have been the poorest, weakest, and most watery heart that ever beat, which would not have warmed towards the Maypole bar. Mrs Varden's did directly. She could no more have reproached John Willet among those household gods, the kegs and bottles, lemons, pipes, and cheese, than she could have stabbed him with his own bright carving-knife. The order for dinner too――it might have soothed a savage. 'A bit of fish,' said John to the cook, 'and some lamb chops (breaded, with plenty of ketchup), and a good salad, and a roast spring chicken, with a dish of sausages and mashed potatoes, or something of that sort.' Something of that sort! The resources of these inns! To talk carelessly about dishes, which in themselves were a first-rate holiday kind of dinner, suitable to one's wedding-day, as something of that sort: meaning, if you can't get a spring chicken, any other trifle in the way of poultry will do――such as a peacock, perhaps! The kitchen too, with its great broad cavernous chimney; the kitchen, where nothing in the way of cookery seemed impossible; where you could believe in anything to eat, they chose to tell you of. Mrs Varden returned from the contemplation of these wonders to the bar again, with a head quite dizzy and bewildered. Her housekeeping capacity was not large enough to comprehend them. She was obliged to go to sleep. Waking was pain, in the midst of such immensity.
Dolly in the meanwhile, whose gay heart and head ran upon other matters, passed out at the garden door, and glancing back now and then (but of course not wondering whether Joe saw her), tripped away by a path across the fields with which she was well acquainted, to discharge her mission at the Warren; and this deponent hath been informed and verily believes, that you might have seen many less pleasant objects than the cherry-coloured mantle and ribbons, as they went fluttering along the green meadows in the bright light of the day, like giddy things as they were.

Starfleet and Klingon Empire Android Engineering Bridge Officer Candidates are Very Rare rewards given to players who reach 700 Day Veteran status. Unlike other Bridge Officers, they are not tradeable and cannot be sold on the Exchange. They are as customizable as any alien race, but come with nine unique Head Attach Tech options to choose from; each exposing a portion of the character's face to reveal exposed wiring and glowing circuitry.
Physical features[edit | edit source]
Androids come in a variety of humanoid shapes and forms, limited only by the capability of each unit's designer. They can appear totally organic, or completley mechanical. So long as they retain basic humanoid features, they are set apart from other robotic equipment.
Other information[edit | edit source]
Sentient Androids were officially recognized as free-thinking lifeforms in 2365 by Captain Phillipa Louvois of Starfleet's Judge Advocate General's office, who granted such creatures as "having the freedom to choose" when a sentient android (the first to serve in Starfleet) Lieutenant Commander Data's status came into question by the Associate Chair of Robotics at the Daystrom Technological Institute that year.
Traits[edit | edit source]
Android bridge officers come with four traits, two of which are exclusive to the species.

Having worked with established leadership businesses in various roles since 1988, I jumped at the chance to start something new with Ben. We met just before the 2012 Olympics and stuck to our vision through that hectic summer: to become the Number One choice of entrepreneurial business leaders, who are serious about achieving their Crazy goals. In my previous role as Managing Director of consultancy BlessingWhite, I led the team to create a hugely successful executive leadership programme – and I'm building on that experience to develop a world class performance programme here at Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?

25 working days.
It's getting real that I'm quitting my job. As many times as I've run the numbers with my financial advisors, as many times as they've assured me I can pay the bills, it freaks me out to think about giving up the paycheck. The idea of depending on Someone to pay bills if we fall on hard times is completely unfathomable. It's not in my nature to depend on somebody for money.
The other night, I had a bad dream. It wasn't even like my typical bad dreams – nobody died and there were no snakes. In fact, it started out good. In my dream, Someone, me, Erin, Emily, Sarah, and Sarah's "man friend" were going out to go to dinner to celebrate my retirement. For some weird reason, we were going to the Chimney Corner, a little restaurant in town that has been there for over 100 years. The food there is expensive and not even that great; I haven't been in there for at least 20 years. Anyway, this particular day (in my dream), they were having a buffet and the line of people waiting to get in was backed up all the way outside the restaurant, out to the street. Someone said, "Hey we'll go on in and get us a table – there's no need for all of us to wait in line." I agreed and they all went inside. It finally came my turn to pay. The cashier said, "That'll be $650 dollars." I about choked, but handed her my credit card without question and paid. Inside the restaurant, it was packed and noisy. I wandered all around the restaurant (which seemed enormous compared to how it is in real life) and never saw a familiar face. Eventually I concluded they must be outside waiting for a table, so I went out the back door. Sure enough, they were all standing around outside. Someone said, "Where the hell have you been? We already ate and have been waiting here for an hour."
That's when I woke up.
What was that dream about? The money? The money! $650 for dinner??
Our house has fallen to total ruin with all the hours I've worked since January. Someone has no interest in the condition or cleanliness of our living environment, and he has no intentions or ambition to help. He's always been that way, so it's just who he is. You live with what you marry; and accept faults to keep things peaceful.
I've been telling myself (since January) that I'm working myself to death so that I can amass enough $$$$ to pay for some new flooring, furniture, and repairs. Right now, we're in desperate need to get our gutters cleaned out and the porch roof either patched or replaced. We have trees and weeds growing tall in the gutters – that's how bad they are. To make matters even worse, the last few evenings when I got home from work, a squirrel family was sitting on the roof eating out of them. I love squirrels, but damn them for that. Is it not bad enough to see a forest growing out of the gutters without having squirrels dining out of them as well? I've called three different people who advertise they do roofing and gutter cleaning. None have even returned my calls. I'm to the point, it's like just name your price and I'll pay. Just come and get it done, PLEASE!
Last night, I bought a new screen door for our porch – the old one has rotted, is broken and hanging by one hinge. The reviews on the new door say it's shit, but it'll definitely be an improvement over the old door. It has a pet entrance so perhaps Gracie and Molly won't destroy it as quickly as they did the old one. Once the door is up, I will scrub down the porch and set my plants outside. With the door broken, the birds come in and make a huge mess. Maybe I'll get some new porch furniture this summer when it's discounted. The old stuff is duct-taped together in places and looks pretty crappy.
Last night, also, I bought a tall cabinet and a book shelf for my office space (aka dining room). This weekend is a 3-day holiday and a light-work one in terms of my classes at University #2. The dining room is my main task. Someone gave me the go-ahead to sell his big old table. It's a solid walnut antique that he bought cheap in an estate sale, but we have no chairs for it, we've only used it a few times, and it stays piled up with junk. It's going to a consignment store as soon as I clear it off, wipe the dust off, and find somebody to help me load it into my van (hopefully Emily's boyfriend and Emily). It's not an ugly table – in fact, I paid to have it refinished after Someone and I married. Then at some point, Emily scratched her name into the top of it. She went through a destructive phase (very destructive phase) in her preschool years.
So now I have many tasks waiting - furniture to assemble and a major decluttering effort (in just one room - my office space - for now). AND….flowers to plant. I have four flats waiting, and seeds. It's going to be an awesome weekend!!!

Your news and connections gathered from around the web.
From time to time, the basis of competition in an industry shifts so dramatically that shifting with it requires a new long-term vision that calls for the organization to do things it never would have done in the past. The hardest part is connecting long-term goals to near-term actions — especially when those new actions directly threaten the way you make money right now.
Consider the case of MedStar Health, the largest nongovernment health care provider in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region, as it navigates a dramatic shift from competing by offering integrated, comprehensive medical services to offering lower cost preventive care. Back before the passage of the Affordable Care Act, MedStar's leaders decided they needed a strategic plan to reimagine the company in 2020. MedStar operated nine hospitals, but realized that its long-held objective of increasing revenue and profits at those venues was unsustainable, given the outcries over runaway medical costs.
Instead, it mapped out a future in which more and more care was delivered outside its hospitals at a fraction of the cost. Doing that required developing a new business model in which MedStar would get paid to keep patients well. "We needed an enduring strategy independent of any legislation," recalls MedStar executive vice president Eric R. Wagner.
As in any large organization, the biggest challenge was how to keep this kind of long-range plan on track for a decade or more. After all, diverting investments away from core hospital budgets might be unpopular across an organization that is the largest private employer in the region. The new-growth areas MedStar mapped out included entering the general-population health insurance business as well as creating a major presence in ambulatory care – that is, outpatient locations aimed at preempting visits to the places where nearly all of its 30,000 employees currently worked.
These new ventures would operate separately from the core hospital assets and would compete in new ways in the health care marketplace. CEO Kenneth Samet, along with Wagner and the six other executives on the leadership team, set a long-term goal of building a major growth business from these new areas.

Resident Messaging Program
Faster and Easier Community Communication
CONSTANT RESIDENT COMMUNICATION IS a key factor in making residents feel like part of your community. But how do you keep in touch? Are you still taping leaflets to residents´ doors? Are you pinning paper notices on bulletin boards by the pool or mailboxes?
Use our exclusive Resident Messaging program instead. It's simpler and much more cost-effective. It can be accessed through your Control Panel quickly and easily. Plus, it's included free with your branded concierge program. The exceptional value of Resident Messaging alone is well worth providing the concierge service to your property.
Residents: Send unlimited email and text messages to any or all of your residents. Send announcements or notifications about upcoming property events, weather warnings, security alerts, package arrivals, late rent reminders, leasing notifications, maintenance notices—and anything else. All emails are sent via a simple-to-use interface with a custom header that includes your property logo.
Visitors: Send up to three promotional text messages to all your potential residents registered on the Visitor 30-Day Demo account. It's a very persuasive direct marketing tool that brings them back to rent from you.
Employees: Property Managers can send emails and text messages to one or all Leasing Agents and other staff members. It's the ideal way to help increase productivity.
Go Green with TAC
Save money, time—and paper. Stop printing leaflets and bulletins and taping them to your residents´ doors hoping they see them. Use Resident Messaging instead. It's far more efficient and it's environmentally friendly. You'll also know for sure that your residents are getting important messages.
Resident Messaging is the simpler and more cost-effective way to keep in touch with residents and staff.
