April 7, 2010 — Abilene is pleased to announce that it has been selected for the renovation of the boiler room and heating plant equipment at the Seaview Towers complex located in Far Rockaway, New York.

Built in the 1960′s, the two towers that comprise Seaview Towers house almost 500 families. The buildings are currently undergoing a major renovation project; from the basements to the roofs. Abilene’s role will be to remove the existing forty-year old boilers and install a new high-efficiency heating plant in one of the buildings. The second building will be heated via an underground steam supply piping system originating in the boiler room and terminating at a steam-to-water heat exchanger system located in the adjacent building.

The building containing the boilers will receive three Best Boilers high-efficiency scotch-marine style steam boilers rated at 350 horsepower each, coupled with state-of-the-art Industrial Combustion combination gas/oil burners. The heating distribution system will be controlled by a Heat Timer hot water reset control system, and domestic hot water temperature will be regulated by a Tour & Anderson (PDF) electronic tempering valve system.

Heat and hot water services to the building will be provided by Abilene’s own state-of-the-art Mobile Steam Boiler units so that there will be no interruption of service to the tenants during the renovation project.

Construction on the project is currently underway and the new heating plants will be fully operational in time for the 2007-2008 heating season.

We will continue to issue press releases to update you on our progress.

Is it Time To Schedule a Consultation With an Orthopedic Doctor?

quarrieoriard20 — 2015-11-28 00:44:14 UTC

Howard Marans MD – No one likes to be in any type of pain. Sufferers from long-term tendon or ligament damage, muscle, and joint pain understand the need to find a solution to make life easier and pain free. Orange County Orthopedics is your ultimate solution for years of pain and suffering. Consistent problems involving, sprains, strains, or other types of back, knee, or shoulder pain may be resolved by a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon.

Signs That it’s Time to Consult an Orthopedic Surgeon

The main reason to consult Orange County Orthopedics is ongoing pain. Sprains and other minor ailments involve some level of pain while the body continues to heal. Knowing how much pain a sufferer should endure prior to making a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon will depend on the degree of injury. Is the pain due to an injury that is continuing to heal? If the answer is no, consider these prolonged pain situations as a way to decide whether to make a consultation appointment immediately.

Prolonged pain in the joints or muscles is interfering with daily routines by limiting range of motion in the injured area. Simple daily activities like walking up a small set of stairs or carrying a laundry basket seem to be overwhelming tasks. When a person cannot function properly throughout the day due to pain, it’s time for a consultation with an orthopedic surgeon.
Excessive pain in the joints, muscles, or tendons are preventing the patient from sitting for a long period of time or taking a simple nap.
If the pain is severe enough to keep a patient from getting a quality night’s rest, the ailment needs to be addressed.
Getting up in the morning brings pain for a prolonged period of time. If a pain sufferer is still enduring morning stiffness after 45 minutes, a chronic condition may be present.
Non-surgical methods are no longer helping to control the pain. Over the counter pain medicine or prescription drugs are not helping alleviate the pain, soreness, or stiffness of the ailment.

Persistent swelling around the pained area. Viewing swelling or feeling warm to the touch around the injured area may be signs of an infection or other serious issue.

Orange County Orthopedics will use surgery as a last resort after all other options have been explored. The surgeon understands that invasive treatments may make a patient apprehensive. Early diagnosis and treatment program can aid in the recovery process. The goal of the Orange County Orthopedics is to discuss the musculoskeletal issue while providing the best treatment program possible to bring back range of motion to the injured or diseased area.

Top California Orthopedic Doctor – Orange County Orthopedics

For optimal outcomes and a complete accurate diagnosis, consult Orange County Orthopedics for all pain symptoms. Having over 20 years of consistent experience, Dr. Howard Marans can give a complete, precise explanation of all the current treatments available, including both non-surgical and surgical options. Physical therapy and pain management may be utilized prior to engaging in surgical options. Howard Marans MD welcomes PPO and will work with other insurance companies to give the best treatment available. Please click below to schedule your consultation or call us at 714.979.8981.

Which? Files Supercomplaint Against Banks Over Transfer Fraud - Online Security

quarrieoriard20 — 2016-10-14 00:47:15 UTC

Banks may face formal inquiry into whether they can refuse to reimburse victims conned into transferring money into fraudsters’ accounts

UK banks should do more to protect customers tricked into transferring money to fraudsters, according to a consumer body that has lodged a “supercomplaint” with financial regulators. The move by Which? means banks could now face a formal investigation into whether they can continue refusing to reimburse victims.

The organisation submitted its first supercomplaint this year in the same week that official data revealed that fraud in the UK payments industry had soared by 53% as criminals develop increasingly sophisticated tactics to steal bank customers’ cash.

Which? said banks should “shoulder more responsibility” when someone is conned into transferring money to another person’s account, just as they reimburse customers who lose money due to scams involving debit and credit cards or fraudulent account activity.

Some customers have lost considerable sums. In March this year the Guardian featured the case of Sarah and David Fisher, who were conned out of £25,000 after a fraudster posed as their builder and emailed them a fake invoice that was virtually identical to the one they were expecting.

The explosion in online and mobile banking means UK consumers now make more than 70m bank transfers a month, compared with just over 100m in a whole year just a decade ago. Which? claims that “protections have not kept up”.

Using its legal powers, the organisation has submitted a supercomplaint to the Payment Systems Regulator, the watchdog for the UK’s £75tn payment systems industry, which must now respond within 90 days.

There are many financial frauds that directly target customers, such as phishing emails and phone- and text-based scams. However, among the biggest growth areas are impersonation and deception scams where fraudsters hack into someone’s email account and then pose as the builder, solicitor, landscape gardener or other tradesperson that the consumer has legitimately employed. Typically, the victim receives an invoice via email, which does not rouse suspicion because they were expecting it. It looks authentic and is usually for the correct amount – however, unbeknown to the consumer, the bank account number and sort code have been changed to those of the fraudster.

This is what happened to the Fishers, from north-west London. Last October they received a genuine invoice for building work that was being carried out, then what appeared to be a follow-up email from the same firm with a fresh invoice attached that included “our new banking details”. The couple duly paid the requested £25,000, and while it quickly emerged they had been scammed, by the time the bank that operated the account used to accept their money was alerted, the cash had been withdrawn.

Almost a year after the incident, they have yet to recover a penny of their money. Sarah Fisher, a record label manager, told the Guardian this week that the police had identified the fraudster as someone living in Denmark. As a result, the case was “not being progressed” and had effectively come to a halt.

She added: “We took it to the financial ombudsman, who said that Barclays [which operated the account] had not behaved improperly.” However, she said their MP, Tulip Siddiq, had said the case raised important issues and intended to pursue the matter in parliament.

Victims conned in this way currently have no legal right to get their money back from their bank, said Which?. Banks typically refuse to refund customers on the basis that they made the payment voluntarily. However, Which? said: “Consumers can only protect themselves so far. People cannot be expected to detect complex scams pressuring them to transfer money immediately, or lookalike bills from their solicitor or builder.”

The organisation said banks had invested in security systems to detect and prevent fraud where they were liable to reimburse the victim, but added: “There aren’t sufficient checks if someone is tricked into transferring money directly to another person’s account.”

Which? said it wanted the regulators to formally investigate the scale of bank transfer fraud and how much it was costing consumers, and propose new measures and greater liability for banks to ensure consumers are better protected.

The Payment Systems Regulator confirmed that it had received the supercomplaint and said it would examine the evidence Which? had supplied and gather its own, “to build a clearer picture of the issue and decide a course of action”.

Possible outcomes might include regulatory action, a review or a referral of the complaint to another body.
