Pretty Shouldn't Stink: How a Healthy Nail Salon Program can help
July 23, 2015
Nail Salon employees are exposed to industrial chemicals without adequate protection or education. During their professional life, nail salon employees have repeated and prolonged exposure to toxic products and unsafe practices which increases their chances of cancer, birth defects, miscarriages and asthma. Currently, there is a lack of regulation for nail salon chemicals and lack of enforceable laws regulating the levels of exposure for nail salon employees. San Francisco was the first city in the country to adopt legislation to create a recognition program to help nail salons use safer products and practices and recognize them as businesses that enhance the well being of nail salon employees and customers.
Join the San Francisco Department for the Environment and the California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative for a webinar on July 23rd where they discuss how the Healthy Nail Salon Recognition Program was established, its key components, how to run a successful Healthy Nail Salon Program and the challenges faced. Speakers will also talk about the progress made towards legislation and what next steps are in store.

INTRODUCTION TO GAILHISTORY AND SUMMARY: GAIL (India) Ltd. (erstwhile Gas Authority of India Ltd), Indias principal gas transmission and marketing company, was set up by the Government of India in August 1984 to create gas sector infrastructure for sustained development of the natural gas sector in the country. The 2800-km Hazira-Vijaipur-Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline became operational in 1991. During 1991-93, three LPG plants were constructed and some regional pipelines acquired, enabling GAIL to begin its regional gas distribution in various parts of India. GAIL began its city gas distribution in Delhi in 1997 by setting up nine CNG stations, catering to the citys vast public transport fleet. In 1999, GAIL set up northern Indias only petrochemical plant at Pata. GAIL became the first Infrastructure Provider Category II Licensee and signed the countrys first Service Level Agreement for leasing bandwidth in the Delhi-Vijaipur sector in 2001, through its telecom business GAILTEL. In 2001, GAIL commissioned worlds longest and Indias first Cross Country LPG Transmission Pipeline from Jamnagar to Loni. GAIL today has reached new milestones with its strategic diversification into Petrochemicals, Telecom and Liquid Hydrocarbons besides gas infrastructure. The company has also extended its presence in Power, Liquefied Natural Gas re- gasification, City Gas Distribution and Exploration & Production through equity and joint ventures participations. Incorporating the new-found energy into its corporate identity, Gas Authority of India was renamed GAIL (India) Limited on November 22, 2002.

Adequate supply of affordable energy is a pre-requisite for sustained growth, especially in the developing and emerging economies. Natural gas has emerged as most benign fuel in this regard. Natural Gas is a new age fuel. With only one carbon and four hydrogen atoms per molecule, Natural Gas has the lowest carbon to hydrogen ratio, hence it burns completely, making it the cleanest of fossil fuels. Natural Gas satisfies most of the requirements for fuel in a modern day industrial society, being efficient, non-polluting and relatively economical. The periodic uncertainties and volatility in both the price and supply of oil, have also helped Natural Gas emerge as a major fuel in the energy basket across countries. Sector Natural Gas is used Generation As fuel for base load power plants In combined cycle/co- electricity by utilities generation power plants Fertilizer Industry As feed stock in the production of ammonia and urea Industrial As an under boiler fuel for raising steam As fuel in furnaces and heating applications Domestic and For heating of spaces and water For cooking commercial Automotive As a non-polluting fuel Petrochemicals As the raw material from which a variety of chemical products e.g. methanol, are derivedSUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 13
Natural Gas comes in 4 basic forms: Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) - Natural Gas which has been liquefied at – (Minus) 160 degree Centigrade. Natural Gas is liquefied to facilitate transportation in large volumes in cryogenic tankers across sea. Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) – LNG Re-gasified before transporting it to consumers through Pipelines. CNG Compressed Natural gas- Natural Gas compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm2 used as fuel for transportation. CNG decreases vehicular pollution on the virtue of being cleaner fuel than liquid fuels. Piped Natural gas, PNG - Natural Gas distributed through a pipeline network that has safety valves to maintain the pressure, assuring safe, uninterrupted supply to the domestic sector for cooking and heating / cooling applications. India's natural gas scenario is undergoing rapid changes and gas is poised to occupy a significant share in the energy mix. In order to diversify energy Natural Gas is a new age fuel. Natural Gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels. Natural Gas satisfies most of the requirements for fuel in a modern day industrial society, being efficient, non-polluting and relatively economical. Natural Gas requires a strong distribution network to not only support existing demand, but also fuel future demand. A big challenge lies in bridging the physical gap between demand and supply centers in an efficient, safe and eco-friendly manner. Pipeline transportation of gas offers a safe, economic and environmentally sound alternative to most other modes of energy transport. Meeting the emerging demand for gas requires transportation of gas across the length and breadth of India through creating gas transportation infrastructure of more than 2-3 times the present size. The Government and Regulator also recognize the need to augment the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the country. With the Petroleum and Natural GasSUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 14

WHAT IS A CANTEEN? A cafeteria is a type of food service location in which there is little or no waiting staff table service, whether a restaurant or within an institution such as a large office building or school; a school dining location is also referred to as a dining hall or canteen. Instead of table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls, either in a line or allowing arbitrary walking paths. Customers take the food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray. As cafeterias require few employees, they are often found within a larger institution, catering to the clientele of that institution. Eg. Within the factory or the plants.

ABOUT GAIL CANTEEN VAGHODIA The canteen at GAIL VAGHODIA is running on the contract basis where the caterer is given the contract according to the FACTORY ACT 1948 section 46, GUJARAT FACTORY RULES 1963. The location of the canteen is more than soothing and thus due to the HRSG project which is been taken over on the basis of which the workers even the GAIL employees are been provided food. The layout of the canteen is such that nearly about 40 employees in the canteen can eat food after day's work. The canteen here is providing food to around 70 to 80 employees working in the plant. Food provided here is basically divided into 2 major parts which is breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoons. GAIL mainly has installed workers on the basis of two shifts who avails breakfast and lunch and also tea or snacks in the evening. The canteen mainly delivers self service where the employees and even the worker duly stand in the queue and have their food.SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 33
DEFINING A QUESTIONNAIRE A questionnaire is a series of questions asked to individuals to obtain statistically useful information about a given topic. They are a valuable method of collecting a wide range of information from a large number of individuals, often referred to as respondents. The main perspective of the questionnaire is to meet certain objectives and gather information which would have been difficult or unviable otherwise. Purpose of designing an canteen Questionnaire POOR HYGIENE AND CLEANLINES CONCERNING AVERAGE ISSUES OF FOOD QUALITY GAIL LAYOUT VAGHODIA CANTEEN HIGH PRICES AND PAYMENTS OF FOODSUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 34
QUESTIONNAIRE DESCRIPTION The questionnaire is been designed based on five parameters which are useful for analyses. The five parameters are as follows: 1. SPACE 2. FIXTURES AND AMENITIES 3. HYGIENE 4. MENU, DELIVERY AND BEHAVIOR 5. PAYMENT AND PRICES The scale used to for these parameters to be analyzed is LIKERT SCALE on the basis of these scales the parameters are been defined. □ Strongly Agree □ Agree □ Partly agree & Partly disagree □ Disagree □ Strongly Disagree The questions asked under the questionnaire are basically CLOSE ENDED QUESTIONS. The suggestions column under the questionnaire is been kept more as the feedback or the comments are to be analyzed of the employees and the workers and thus conclusion is to be given. RESEARCH QUESTION QUESTIONNAIRE FEED BACK Th SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 35
Likert scale is the sum of responses on several Likert items. Because Likert items are often accompanied by a visual analog scale (e.g., a horizontal line, on which a subject indicates his or her response by circling or checking tick-marks), the items are sometimes called scales themselves. The purpose of using this scale is to define those five parameter which are been used in the questionnaire and thus can provide better feedback. General questions regarding space as to whether the space which is been provided under the canteen is adequate for the employees to sit and have their food in an comfortable manner or not… Questions related to furniture i.e. are the furniture and fixtures such as the table and chairs been maintained properly or the catering services been provided are in proper manner. Hygiene has been one of the acute provide for every canteen research as thus questions regarding whether hygiene factor is been taken in account keeping in mind whether the workers are been groomed for hygiene or things like cleaning of utensil and floor cleaning are been given more importance. Menu delivery questions are been segregated in such a way that person fiiling the questionnaire would take up whether the menu is been displayed or delivery of the services is on time and how is the behavior of the canteen workers with employees. Prices and payment questions are generalized in such a way that would cover major part of whether the payments and prices are soothing or not or changes are to be done.SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 36

ANALYSIS OF QUESTIONNAIRE AIM FOR ANALYSING THE QUESTIONNAIRE The main aim to analyze the questionnaire is to bring out whether the feedback which is given by the employees does meet the demand of the research which is been done. The questionnaire were been distributed among 100 GAIL employees out of which 60 employees feedback was collected in order to know whether the food services of the canteen which is been acceptable or improvements are been done. On analyzing the suggestions and getting the feedback the major area of concern is mainly the layout and hygiene. As given in the feedback above HYGIENE AND LAYOUT factors are the two important factors which are to improve on a large scale. HYGIENE QUESTIONNAIRE FEED BACK ANALYSIS LAYOUTSUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 57
GRAPHS Thus all the parameters are been thus analyzed and work was majorly done on excel on the basis of which research graphs were derived. The graphs were derived on the basis of scales on the employees gave their feedback rating from 1 to 6 horizontally and 1 to 7 vertically where the graphs were divided among 20 employees each who gave their feedback taking up the five parameters. 7 FEED BACK OF 20 EMPLOYEES 6 AGREE FIXTURES i) SPACE-(ADEQUATE) *HYGIENE ii) FURNITURE AND FIXTURES- 5 *MENU AND DELIVERY (OPTIMUM) *PRICES AND PAYMENT iii)HYGIENE-(GOOD) iv) MENU & DELIVERY-(VERY LOW) 4 v) PRICES & PAYMENTS - (LOW) AGREE AGREE AGREE 3 DISAGREE AGREE 2 STRONGLY DISAGREE DISAGREE DISAGREE 1 DISAGREE DISAGREE 0 1 2 3 4 5 6SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 58

But the major cause of concern after analyzing the graph the dissatisfaction among the employees is more which the hygiene and the layout factors compared to other. Thus improvement in the canteen is to be done on a larger scale with every suggestion of employee to be taken up.SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 59

Whereas other 30% of the employees are dissatisfied with the HYGIENE AND MENU AND DELIVERY of the canteen. Now remaining 30% employees want there shall be improvement in the PRICES AND PAYMENT also the FURNITURE AND FIXTURE to be maintained in proper manner. The conclusion of the analysis can be derived in such a way that the canteen facilities need a many improvements to be made as mentioned in the suggestions above many employees are dissatisfied with the food and services provided in the canteen and thus which has to be looked upon. Graphs majorly show that many employees are mainly satisfied with certain available services but the major cause of concern which is been taken up in this project is how the improvement can been done on a larger scale.SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 60
STEPS FOR IMPROVEMENT The chart given below shows certain suggestions through which improvement in the canteen is been done. THE KICTEN AREA SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN AND WORKERS IN CANTEEN SHOULD BE THE LAYOUT OF THE EDUCATED FOR HYGINE.

SUGGESTIONS ON CANTEEN REPORT SPACE As suggested by the DGM of GAIL (INDIA) LIMITED VAGHODIA I agree with his suggestion that an extra space must me created on the first floor as to increase the space of the canteen. According to me the layout can be changed in such a sense that both different spaces for the GAIL/NON GAIL employees in the canteen can be segregated. FURNITURE AND FIXTURES Chairs and tables in the canteen should be maintained properly where as the air condition in the system should be repaired. Water proofing work in the canteen should be immediately taken up after the rainy system. The kitchen area of the canteen should be increased and proper storage system for the food grains is must. HYGIENE The canteen persons should be properly groomed and thus and should be properly educated about the hygiene factors. The kitchen area should be properly kept clean and thus the worker in the canteen should be strictly advised by guiding them towards hygiene factors. Utensil and drinking water are the two main factors which may hamper the hygiene of the canteen and thus they should be looked upon firstly. Worker should be given plastic hand gloves and hat while serving food. MENU, DELIVERY AND BEHAVIOR A coupon system should be installed particularly for all GAIL/NON GAIL employees. Orderly menu chart for the food to be served during three times should be placed in the canteen. Hoardings regarding maintaining friendly relationship with the employees to be placed. PRICES AND PAYMENTS Prices and payment should be derived according to FACTORIES ACT 1948 and thus and electronic system or a punching card machine for direct payment can be a better option.SUMMER INTERSHIP PROGRAMME 2012 Page 62

Check these out, too...
He kept asking me who I like, and I admitted that I like him. But when I asked him, he said he doesn't like anyone. Is he lying?
HIS ANSWER: "I think that a guy who says that really does like you. At the same time, he's probably been hurt by a past relationship or is just nervous about getting into one.
I would say don't give up, keep talking to him, and let him know you like him in the things you do. Be there for him and let him know that he can trust you. Sometimes guys just take a while."
DECODED: Of course, you don't want to cross the line into needy or overbearing, but boys need support too, and that's something that many people don't often remember. Maybe you have a shy guy. Just take it slow and easy and he'll come around.
YOUR MOVE: Keep being his friend. If you can prove to him that you are in this, and that you really do like him, he'll probably get over his fears. Boys take a while sometimes, but they usually come around if they can actually be convinced that you like them and can be trusted to not hurt 'em.

Meat of cattle sacrificed on Eid al-Adha distributed among 30,000 poor people in Pakistan at initiative of Azerbaijan`s first lady - PHOTO
30 October 2012 [11:24] -
Some 250 heads of cattle were slaughtered in Lakki Marwat Tribal Area and 100 in Paraka-ho, Saidpur and Haripur villages of Punjab province of Pakistan on the occasion of Eid al-Adha and distributed among 30,000 poor people at the initiative of Azerbaijan`s first lady, President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, UNESCO and ISESCO goodwill ambassador, MP Mehriban Aliyeva.
The ceremony organized in Lakki Marwat brought together Chairman of Pakistan`s Senate Foreign Relations Salim Saifullah Khan, former petroleum minister, prominent politician Anwar Saifullah Khan, senator Osman Saifullah Khan, member of the National Assembly Humayun Saifullah Khan, political and religious figures of the region and journalists.
Salim Saifullah Khan spoke about friendly and fraternal relations between the two countries, the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh conflict and Pakistan`s position on this dispute.
He hailed the Heydar Aliyev Foundation`s event in Pakistan, describing it as a vivid evidence of friendship and brotherhood between the two countries.
Azerbaijan`s ambassador to Pakistan Dashgin Shikarov congratulated the event participants on Eid al-Adha on behalf of the Azerbaijani state.
The diplomat briefed the participants on the large-scale projects implemented in Azerbaijan and abroad by President of Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva.
As part of Eid al-Adha celebrations, Shikarov visited the Women`s and Children Hospital in Lakki Marwat financed by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, gave presents to the patients and medical staff on behalf of Azerbaijan`s first lady Mehriban Aliyeva.

NFLPA Sends Out Alert To Agents About Investigation Into Financial Advisor
Published April 20, 2012
ALERTS ALLOWED LAST MONTH: A source said that the NFLPA at its annual meeting last month in Marco Island, Fla., enacted a new regulation regarding allowing such alerts in the future. Attempts to reach NFLPA officials for comment Thursday were unsuccessful. Attached to the NFLPA memo to agents was a release from the SEC stating that judgments were entered against Westmoore Management, LLC, Westmoore Investment, L.P., Westmoore Capital Management, Inc. and Westmoore Capital, LLC in U.S. District Court in L.A. The SEC filed a complaint against the Westmoore entities in June '10, alleging that "Jennings operated an undisclosed Ponzi-like fraudulent scheme through the Westmoore Entity defendants and their subsidiaries in violation of the federal securities laws." The NFLPA e-mail alert to agents asked them to contact NFLPA Dir of Security Tim Christine if they had any information relative to the matter. Christine did not immediately return a phone call. At least one agent said he sent the alert to his NFL player clients.

Additional Information on Mara Zinfandel Reserve Marquise Luvisi Ranch 2006
Varietal: Zinfandel
The precise origins of what became known as the Zinfandel grape variety are uncertain, although it has clear genetic equivalents in both Puglia and Croatia. However, when it was brought to the New World in the mid 19th century, it became known as the Zinfandel, and has been consistently popular and widely grown ever since. These very dark and very round grapes have a remarkably high sugar content, resulting in relatively high levels of alcohol in the wines they are made into, with bottles often displaying as much as fifteen percent. What makes the Zinfandel such an interesting grape, though, is the fact that the flavors produced by this varietal vary considerably depending on the climate they are grown in. In cooler valley regions, the Zinfandel grapes result in wines which hold strong flavors of tart and sweet fruits; raspberry, redcurrant and sweet cherry, held in a very smooth and silky liquid. Conversely, warmer regions result in more complex and spicy notes, including anise, pepper and hedgerow berries.
Region: California
California has long been the New World's most important and prodigious wine producing regions, with a history which stretches back to the 18th century and the Spanish pioneers who settled here. Today, California produces vast quantities of wine, and if it were a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine on earth. Despite experiencing many problems in the mid 20th century, including a very serious blight which almost crippled the state's wine industry, the ideal terroir and excellent climate ensured that Californian wines soon became the envy of the New World once again. California produces a vast range of wines, and utilizes a long list of fine grape varietals, with many wineries and their produce more closely resembling those of France and other Old World countries in regards to character, practices and flavors
Country: United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
Appellation: Napa Valley
There are few places on earth quite as ideal for viticulture and wine production as California's Napa Valley, a place which is now considered something of a spiritual home for the American wine industry. For generations now, Napa Valley has consistently produced the finest wines to come out of the United States, and has used its ideal climate and terroir to coax the very finest flavors and aromas from a wide range of grape varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Zinfandel, amongst many others. Shielded from the oceanic climate by mountain ranges, the Napa Valley provides plenty of sunshine, heat and little rainfall in which grapes can grow and ripen fully, and express plenty of their superb terroir, much to the delight of New World wine drinkers across the globe.

AS&E introduces new Gemini parcel inspection systems
Left: Gemini generates two simultaneous images for comprehensive threat detetion.
The electronic clutter in the dual-energy transmission image (left)
obstructs views of the threats in the briefcase. The Z Backscatter image
(right) of the same briefcase exposes the Glock handgun and plastic and
liquid explosives.
American Science and Engineering Inc (AS&E), a leading worldwide supplier of innovative x-ray detection solutions, has announced the introduction of two new Gemini parcel inspection systems – Gemini 7555 and Gemini 100100. These solutions, along with the Gemini 6040, provide customers with a selection of systems to inspect everything from mail, baggage and break-bulk cargo within mailrooms, lobbies, checkpoints, airports, high threat facilities and other security sensitive areas.
Gemini continues to be the first and only conventional parcel inspection system to combine multiple technologies. AS&E's proprietary Z Backscatter x-ray technology and dual-energy transmission allows operators to obtain the most information about the contents of a parcel. Operators simultaneously view two images, a Z Backscatter image and a dual-energy image, dramatically increasing the likelihood of finding hidden illegal materials. Gemini's unique capability to detect both metallic and non-metallic threats – even in cluttered environments – makes it an invaluable inspection tool for security officials.
"With the introduction of additional Gemini systems, we are broadening our offering of the only proven multi-technology x-ray solution for screening parcels," said Anthony Fabiano, AS&E's president and CEO. "We believe that Gemini's combination of Z Backscatter and dual-energy transmission provides the most attractive value proposition for parcel inspection available today."

UC Irvine, head coach Russell Turner agree to five-year extension
Nov 7, 2013, 9:05 PM EDT
After making their first Big West tournament final appearance since 2008 this past spring, the UC Irvine Anteaters enter the 2013-14 season as the preseason favorite to win the conference and make their first NCAA tournament appearance as a Division I member. Armed with key returnees such as forward Will Davis II and guard Alex Young and a talented crop of newcomers, head coach Russell Turner has the pieces needed to make good on the preseason attention.
On Thursday the school signed Turner to a five-year contract extension through the 2017-18 season.
"I am pleased with the direction of our men's basketball program under the leadership of Coach Turner," Athletic Director Michael Izzi said in the relase. "Russell and his staff have recruited quality student-athletes who are outstanding representatives of the university.
"They have generated a great deal of interest and excitement for our program on campus and in the community."
In addition to that title game appearance the Anteaters picked up the program's first postseason tournament victory in nearly three decades, as they beat High Point in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. UC Irvine enters the 2013-14 season as arguably the nation's biggest team, with three players being at least seven feet tall and freshman Mamadou Ndiaye being 7-foot-6.
And in freshman guard Luke Nelson the Anteaters add an experienced guard with international experience, as he averaged 19 points per game for England's Under-18 team at this summer's U-18 European Championships. With the amount of talent on campus fans are hopeful that Turner and company can reach the Big Dance.
"I'm incredibly appreciative, along with my family, for the commitment that Mike Izzi, Chancellor Drake and many others have made to our program, staff and team. We're excited for the start of the season, the program's future and the possibilities that we can have together."
UC Irvine opens the regular season at home on Friday night against Fresno State, and with games against Washington, California, Oregon and Arizona State they'll have some opportunities to boost their regional/national profile before starting Big West play in January.

Quickie's Burgers & Wings: Fast Food, but Good
Quickie's, an old-time drive-through with locations in Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, has a unique approach to making burgers. All of its one-third or half-pound patties are cooked over hickory to give them a smoky, wood-fired flavor. Those juicy burgers are then topped with onion crisps and Quickie's own special sauce, a spicy mayo-based sauce with plenty of tang. The burgers aren't the only good thing there either. Quickie's wings are fresh and perfectly cooked with an assortment of homespun sauces like vinegary golden BBQ. And even though it's essentially fast food, everything from the crunchy fries with seasoned salt to the mahi-mahi sandwiches is made in-house daily. The staff is friendly, and both restaurants are done up in a green and blue décor that resembles a classic burger joint. For the truly brave, Quickie's serves what it calls the Mother of All Burgers. It's a pound of beef with cheese cooked inside the meat and topped with Quickie's sauce, onions, and French fries. Good luck with that!
