MEMO

To: All Staff
From: Amaya Sodhi
Subject: Online Portal
Date: 22 August

The online portal is now up and running. To use it, patients must first obtain an activation number from a staff member here. Patients will then be able to register to access their records, get lab results, and book appointments.

We had also planned to launch a payment option within the portal. However, the Web developers are still dealing with issues with the billing system. As a result, that part of the system will be implemented at a later time.

It will take some time for all of us to learn how to work with the portal. If you have any questions, please contact Marie at extension 244.

Bev, I want to give you a heads-up. There's a broken water valve at the Eastbury Student Apartments. The water there will be shut off for 2 hours.

Bev Munoz (9:43 A.M.)

No problem. We can wash our hands at the Carlton Apartments after we finish this job.

Jim Szymanski (9:44 A.M.)

Right. We'll be doing the same thing this morning as we did last time. We'll enter each apartment unit and vacuum out the filter in the wall air conditioner. Any filter that looks too dusty should be replaced. Also, we should clear out debris from the vents.

Bev Munoz (9:46 A.M.)

Got it. Will all the apartments be unoccupied?

Jim Szymanski (9:47 A.M.)

The students are on school holiday. But you may want to knock on the doors just in case.

Bev Munoz (9:48 A.M.)

OK. I can handle Building A because I'm parked nearby. You could work on Building B. The work will go more quickly that way, and we'll have time for an afternoon lunch break.

Jim Szymanski (9:49 A.M.)

Exactly. Let me know if you need anything else this morning.

Your upgraded Impala card is in the mail!

At Impala Credit Union, your safety and convenience are paramount. That is why we are introducing contactless technology for all our member credit and debit cards. With this new development, you will no longer have to swipe or insert your card in a chip reader at checkout. In fact, you will not even need to remove your card from a physical wallet; simply hold it near a point of sale for it to be read!

There are a few important things to keep in mind. First, your current card will be deactivated on October 31. You may continue to use it until that time.

Second, the upgraded card may arrive before your current one expires. Once you activate the new card, the old one will automatically be deactivated and no longer be valid for use. You will need to manually activate your new card by following the instructions on the attached sticker.

Third, your contactless technology card will have a new card number, expiration date, and security number. When activating, you will be prompted to choose a PIN (personal identification number). The PIN from your current card will not automatically transfer over. Be sure to update your card on file for all preferred online retailers and app subscriptions to ensure continued access.

We hope that you enjoy your new card. For any questions regarding your contactless technology Impala card, feel free to contact customer service at 1-610-555-0168.

Cassie Alswith (9:18 A.M.)

Definitely. I'm not sure how available you will be, Ms. Jung, but we could send you an overview of the presentation on Thursday if you'd like.

I don't think that's necessary. Please be sure to highlight the revenue that we think will be brought into the region by the new businesses, as well as the positive environmental impacts our research group noted.

Austin Everett (9:23 A.M.)

Got it. We will make sure to do that.

Cassie Alswith (9:25 A.M.)

Would it be okay if I submit the weekly progress report on Monday instead of Friday? That way I'll have a little more time to prepare for the presentation.

Yes, that's a good idea.

Cassie Alswith (9:26 A.M.)

Great. Thank you!

Questions 176-180 refer to the following article and survey,

New Home for Theatre Group

AUCKLAND (11 July)—The south end of Darby Street is dominated by the imposing Victorian building that formerly held the main branch of Pacific Trade Bank. That building is now the home of the Cornata Theatre Company. After a grand-opening ceremony on Tuesday, tours of the new theatre were given to attendees.

The debut show is Relax, a comedy by Mi-Sun Yeo about a popular tourist site. Performances are scheduled to begin on Saturday, 16 July, and run until the end of the month.

According to Noah Larkins, the artistic director of the Cornata Theatre Company, “talk-backs” will immediately follow every performance. Talk-backs allow the director and cast members to share their thoughts about the play, and audience members can ask them questions. “We want to be part of the artistic communities in both Auckland and the larger community around us,” said Mr. Larkins.

The building houses a main stage theatre that seats approximately 325 people and a smaller studio theatre upstairs. The company will also offer acting classes for children and adults. For more information or to buy tickets, visit the company’s Web page at www.cornatatheatre.nz.

Thank you for attending Relax. Please take a few moments to tell us about your experience.

Comments: The play was a fascinating story, and the acting was brilliant. I'm delighted to be a subscribing member of the theatre this season. If all the shows are this good, I'll be very happy.

Mr. Melville,

I just received the job offer from Ventana Bank that we discussed on Monday. They are meeting my salary request and offering me money for relocating too.

This has been my goal ever since you hired me as a teller, right out of college. But now that I have been offered my dream job, I am having doubts. The new location seems so far away. I would rarely get to see my parents and my siblings.

I would welcome your help in this matter. Could we get together in the next few days for lunch or coffee? As you know, I have always valued your input, and I have missed our lunchtime conversations since you retired.

Quentin

When I was recently in Mexico, I purchased a block of your fine cocoa. It was the best I ever had! I did some research on your products, and I was very impressed with your process. I especially appreciate that your workers take care to remove the shells from the beans by hand.

I would like to purchase some more to make my own chocolates at home. Please send me information and pricing. I would prefer to purchase a one-pound block of pure, unsweetened Yucatan cocoa. I will be sweetening the candy myself, so I am not looking for sweetened cocoa.

Thank you.
