Haws Corporation tempered water care and repair

dianahickburn — 2016-10-03 04:33:14 UTC

Here at Haws we are frequently asked if there are any periodic maintenance tips that we can offer for installed products. All Emergency Equipment is required to be activated weekly by ANSI. Purging the standing water out of the lines reduces buildup of stagnate water and helps remove rust from pipes in galvanized units.

In addition, purging helps guarantee that the water supply has not been inadvertently turned off, that there are not any missing or broken parts and most importantly that the units are working properly. Eyewash maintenance is especially important. In most units there is a SP509 inline screen strainer between the eyewash valve and bowl that must be periodically cleaned. The strainer cap must be removed by a 3/8” hex wrench and the screen can then be accessed and cleaned. During the weekly testing it is also crucial to check pathways leading to the unit to make sure there are not any obstructions that would hinder the access and use of the unit.

Drinking Fountains from 2003 to now have a front access 5874 push button valve which has a screen strainer under the cartridge that should be periodically cleaned depending on site conditions. In order to clean the strainer, water must be shut off to the unit and using the spanner wrench that comes with the unit, remove the push button, the inside ring nut and cartridge. The gasket screen should come out with the cartridge and should be cleaned thoroughly.

Water coolers also need periodic cleaning. The fan blows air over the condenser fins, so the condenser should be vacuumed every 6 months to remove lint and dust that builds up (cleaning may be need to occur more often if the unit is in a dirty environment). This is crucial to the proper functioning of the unit, because lint and dirt buildup causes the unit to overheat due to the restricted air flow. This overheating can lead to shortening the life of the unit, and even to damaging the compressor.

Oriental Consultants Limited: Social contribution

dianahickburn — 2016-10-04 05:27:46 UTC

Our core business is to help people lead safe and rich lives in Japan and beyond. We are proud that our services, in and of themselves, contribute directly to significant social development.

Many projects in which we have engaged have produced benefits in the form of local security and development. The photos below depict an example from the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. To address the threat of sea level rise, we constructed seawalls as part of an official development assistance project. When the Indian Ocean Tsunami occurred in December 2004, these seawalls shielded the islands from the deadly waves. As a result, there was no deaths in the Maldives. The local residents were very grateful, saying that Japan had defended their islands.

Moss Adams Business Consultants: Business owner succession

dianahickburn — 2016-10-05 04:41:14 UTC

For privately held companies, succession planning is central to the longevity of your business. Whether you plan to sell your company (or otherwise transfer ownership) now or in 20 years, having a plan in place helps you in many ways: Among other things, it can inform lenders who seek assurance of business continuity, provide incentives to key members of management, and structure a future transaction so that the business can fund your retirement without sapping its cash flow.

Yet despite these benefits, many business owners put off planning for succession. After all, there are pressing day-to-day business challenges they feel they need to address. This is understandable, but the absence of a succession plan can put your business at risk.

We can help you navigate a succession plan and discover new and better opportunities to cultivate the future of your business as well as your personal wealth. Regardless of where your company is in its life cycle (start-up, growth, or maturity), we can work with you to customize a comprehensive succession strategy.

Moss Adams Business Consultants Performance Audits

dianahickburn — 2016-10-07 04:26:32 UTC

When more is expected of your organization, lean on an advisor with a proven record and sensitivity to the public service environment in which you operate. Now more than ever, governments and not-for-profits are expected to demonstrate performance levels typically associated with businesses. As a result, boards, councils, and management teams have had to rethink how they operate and provide greater emphasis on continuous improvement, performance metrics, and return on investment.

This makes strengthening performance by enhancing economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency and reducing risk of vital importance to governmental entities and not-for-profits of all sizes and types. One of the key means of doing so is via a performance audit—a thorough examination of your operations, performed in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards, also known as Yellow Book standards.

We’ve earned a 30-year-plus track record of delivering high value to our clients, working with them to collaboratively define an objective assessment tailored to their organization, operations, and community commitments. Indeed, we’ve generally been able to achieve a return on equity of 1:1 or more for our performance audits, and our recommended improvements have saved some of our clients well over $100,000 annually.

The more than 30 professionals at the firm who provide performance audit services draw on best practices to develop solutions that are practical, achievable, and affordable, and we deliver results in a manner sensitive to the public service environment in which you operate.

Moss Adams Business Consultants Tips to boost cybersecurity

dianahickburn — 2016-10-11 02:56:20 UTC

We’ve all been there: That moment when you find an e-mail from your bank asking you to click on a link to confirm your account information, or perhaps you discover that a sum of money was mysteriously wired from your account. An estimated 5 percent of adults in the United States falls victim to these kinds of crimes every year. While technology continues to evolve and change the way we lead our lives, cybercriminals are right in step with those changes and intensifying their efforts to access your data.

Know what you’re up against and protect yourself this is the crux of cybersecurity. While we’re often reminded by financial institutions or security experts to fortify our information, the majority of us still don’t do it as methodically as we should, even when we know the alternative having your information stolen and exploited could be devastating. Malware, phishing, social engineering, and wire fraud are common tactics that criminals use to compromise a victim’s identity or login credentials. Some of these are more sophisticated than others. Let’s take a look:

Malware is the use of malicious software to gain access to private computer systems and gather sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, account numbers, passwords, and more. While malware can be inserted into a victim’s computer by various means, it often slips in when an unwary user clicks an unfamiliar link or opens an infected e-mail.

Phishing is one of the most common tactics used by criminals to acquire sensitive personal information via e-mail. Often times, a criminal will masquerade as an entity with which a victim already has a financial relationship and attempt to solicit sensitive personal data from the unwitting recipient.

Social engineering is a way for criminals to gain the trust of a victim over time through social and other electronic media and then manipulate that person into divulging confidential information.

Wire fraud has been around much longer than some of today’s emerging data security threats, but it’s experiencing a resurgence. The most common scenario involves fraudulent money transfer requests by phone or electronically. Many times, a compromised e-mail account allows a fraudster to gain access to personal information.

Hawkfield art consultants: Growing up with Artists

dianahickburn — 2016-10-24 02:49:18 UTC

Sally Caverly is not just the owner and curator of Hawkfield consultants, she is also the heart and soul of the establishment. Her fondness for art developed as she grew up with her parents who are both artists. With this kind of environment, she started to appreciate the importance of preserving and enhancing arts and its value. Art collecting came about as a natural product of interacting with her family and from her school and work environment.

Sally has a B.A. degree in Marketing from Simmons College, a diploma from Phillips Academy in Andover and later obtains a Master’s degree in Education. She was employed as a Market Research Department Head at Houghton Mifflin Company and currently serving as a Director at the North and South Rivers Watershed Association.

Being the youngest in the family, Sally was trained in the business in her early years as she was quite often tasked to serve as auctioneer for her parents who fortunately obtained a stunning collection of American impressionist paintings and sculpture. Later on in her twenties, she bought her first in her art collection which is a pastel drawing of wild ducks by William Henry Chandler.

You will notice on her collection her interest on artworks with ducks, geese and wild birds and animals. And even her attachment with her home environment in the East Coast is quite apparent in the art collection of Sally Caverly. Her love for art and vast experience has helped Hawkfield Gallery to maintain its charming appearance which attracts many clients in visiting the establishment.
