"Following an audit ……….last summer, we made it clear to……. In recent years New Look has been keen to show its commitment to ethical trading with films about the great conditions and happiness of its workers in Bangladesh. On its website New Look says it protects workers in its supply chain and promotes its ethical work in Bangladesh. It seems TS Knitwear has subcontracted work to the factory. It’s an order form from New Look and it’s addressed to a company called TS Knitwear (UK) Ltd, which is registered to another address in Leicester. While our reporter isn’t told the name of the factory where he is working for,he does find paperwork from New Look about the jumpers. His pay is later confirmed at £3.50 per hour, less than half the legal minimum. In November 2016, Belal has a new job in a factory right in the heart of the textile district, the company sign has been painted over– but the man who hires Belal doesn’t check Belal has the necessary documents to work legally in the UK.īelal works producing yellow jumpers destined for high street chain New Look, which retail at £19.99.īelal is told by another worker that the pay is £3 an hour, despite there being a poster on the wall about the national minimum rates for 2014/15. New Look also said all its suppliers were required to pay workers a living wage. At the time New Look told Dispatches that the factory had been subcontracted without their approval, and that they didn’t know about conditions there. They were making clothes for High Street fashion chain New Look. Undercover reporter in factory associated to New Look:īack in 2010 Dispatches filmed undercover in a Leicester factory where workers were being paid £2 an hour. They added: “Suppliers were informed not to use this factory for any further … orders … Sub-contracting without river Island’s approval is a serious breach of our Terms and Conditions.” In response to our findings River Island told us that Fashion Square was removed from their Approved Factory List in February 2016, following 2 failed … audits. in safeguarding and improving the rights and working conditions of workers in those factories which supply our products.” On its website, it says “we work actively with our suppliers …. Like many High Street shops River Island is signed up to the Ethical Trading Initiative, and has pledged that all workers in its supply chain should be paid a living wage. But in correspondence they denied anyone at the factory was paid below the legal wage. That’s £4.20 below the National Living Wage of £7.20Īt the time of writing this press release we have not received a statement for broadcast from Fashion Square Ltd. ![]() This is the situation.īelal leaves with a £110 for a week - which works out at £3 for packing and pressing these River Island dresses. How will they get it made cheaper here? If we pay everyone £10 or £6 then we will make a loss.īelal: You are comparing it with Bangladesh and places like that?īoss: Yes, yes, yes. We don’t get paid much for our clothes, and we need to compete with China and Bangladesh.They can get it cheap there. What were you paid in London?īoss: You won’t get that here. You won’t get paid as much as that for the work you’re doing here.īelal: I spoke to, and he said he’ll let me know how much he’ll pay me after he’s seen my work.īoss: Yes, yes. River Island’s most recent published accounts, 2014, show they made an operating profit of £144million.Īfter two days working in the factory Belal has still not been told how much he will get paid, or when.īelal should be paid at least the National Living Wage of £7.20 per hourįinally, Belal goes to the man who hired him to talk about pay.īoss: How much do you get paid in London?īoss: That’s why I’ve asked to see you. As a new recruit he is put to work at the end of the production line, Belal’s job is to stick bar codes and labels on clothes – labels for River Island. Undercover worker reporter filmed inside Fashion Square Ltd, worked on clothes for River Island:Ī Dispatches undercover reporter, Belal, gets a job in Fashion Square Ltd to report on the conditions inside the factory. How will they get it made cheaper here? If we pay everyone £10 or £6 then we will make a loss. We don’t get paid much for our clothes, and we need to compete with China and Bangladesh. Secret cameras capture one textile boss revealing that he considers he’s in direct competition with Bangladesh to meet the orders. Dispatches has returned to the city and discovered workers being paid less than half the national living wage and working conditions that pose a serious fire risk. In 2010 reporter Tazeen Ahmad exposed poor conditions in clothes factories located in Leicester, the heart of Britain.

The G-flat Major Impromptu was originally published in G Major, the editor believing the music to be too difficult to play in G-flat, a “black note key”. Composed in 1827, the year before Schubert’s death, around the same time as he wrote his great, searing song-cycle Winterreise, the third and fourth impromptus were not published until 1857. The G-flat Impromptu, the third of the D899 set, is perhaps the best known and most popular of all Schubert’s Impromptus. ![]() My original Editions Peters score was now too dog-eared to work from productively and so I replaced it with a smart Henle edition. When I returned to the piano as an adult, after some 20 years away from the instrument, it was to the Impromptus that I turned first. Nevertheless, I attempted to play them, and was fortunate that my then piano teacher did not discourage me but helped me find my way through this beautiful and varied music. I was a young piano student at the time, about 11 or 12, and the pieces were really too advanced for me. Schubert’s first set of Impromptus (D899) are amongst my most favourite pieces of piano music, ever since my mother, who admired the pianist Alfred Brendel, bought me the score of the Impromptus and Moments Musicaux after hearing Brendel perform them in concert. ![]() (2) If an existing previously occupied building Is extended or is subject to material alteration or repair, this Code applies only to the design and construction of the extensions and those parts of the building that are subject to the material alteration or repair. of Division B and Part 11 of Division B, if an existing building (2) If a building has been in existence for at least five years but includes an addition that has been in existence for less than five years, Part 11 of Division B applies to the entire building.

Summary of the Patient Data Following the Operation We recorded the preoperative displacement and postoperative reduction following bicortical screw fixation in all the patients ( Tables 1 and 2). Twenty three patients with 23 fractures (17 in zone II and 6 in zone I) were operated on using bicortical screw fixation at a mean of 6.96 ± 5.39 days (range, 1 to 23 days) after injury. Fifteen right feet and seven left feet were involved. There were 12 males and 11 females (median age, 44.3 years range, 16 to 74 years). The articulations of the fifth tarsometatarsal joint were involved. In six of the zone I fractures, all the fractures were intraarticularily displaced more than 2 mm. The mechanism of injury was inversion of the ankle and adduction of the forefoot, which was twisting and falling in 20 patients and sports injury in 3 patients. ![]() ![]() The displaced zone III diaphyseal fractures were treated with intramedullary screw fixation. The chronic, open or severely comminuted fractures were treated with open reduction and internal fixation with screws or wires. Our inclusion criteria for percutaneous bicortical screw fixation was acute, closed, not severely comminuted and more than 2 mm displaced intraarticular zone I and zone II fractures. Extraarticular zone I avulsion fractures, zone III diaphyseal stress fractures, severely comminuted fractures, pediatric fractures, open fractures and fractures that were treated by other methods of fixation were excluded. There were 23 such fractures (17 in zone II and 6 in zone I) that were treated by bicortical screw fixation. However, in the present study we included only the displaced intraarticular zone I and zone II fractures with displacement of more than 2 mm, which were treated by percutaneous bicortical screw fixation. We also evaluated the short- and long-term clinical and radiological results of the bicortical fixation of these fractures.įrom January 2003 through August 2008, a total of 84 fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal bone were treated operatively by one orthopaedic surgeon (JSS). ![]() Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous bicortical screw fixation for the displaced intraarticular zone I and zone II fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal. 6, 8 - 10) To date, no clinical study has evaluated the effectiveness of percutaneous bicortical screw fixation for these fractures. 7) Undisplaced zone I and zone II fractures usually respond well to conservative treatment however, operative fixation of the displaced zone II fractures and the displaced intraarticular zone I fractures has shown better results than conservative treatment. It is of utmost importance to distinguish between the acute fractures and the diaphyseal stress fractures for proper management.

9/13/2023 0 Comments Fish shell text color scheme![]() Fish gets this data from the manpages installed on your machine. So if you type “ls -” and then hit TAB, you will get the flags for “ls”. If you are unsure of a flag for a command, you can hit TAB while typing flags, and you will get a list of possible flags. As you type a command, hit TAB and you will be presented a list of possible commands. You don’t need to add any plugins or hack Fish in any weird way to get tab completion to work either, unlike with Bash or Zsh. Tab completions in Fish are really quite amazing. For example:Įcho (set_color green) "This text is green."Įcho (set_color magenta) "This text is magenta." Want to see a neat trick using colors? There is a function in fish called set_color which is used to control the color of the text in your terminal. Oh, by the way, fish supports 24 bit true color. So when you type just “c” it is colored red, but as soon as you add “d” for “cd”, the color changes to blue. Red means that the command you are typing is not valid. When you first start typing in Fish, you will immediately notice that it has an autosuggestion feature where, as you type, fish will suggest commands to you based on your shell history.Īlso, you will notice the commands that you type will change color. It has a number of smart features and improvements when compared to other popular shells, namely Bash and Zsh. this is because the theme colors are those of the terminal, not of zsh. Thus in the case of a dark background colorscheme, the normal relationship for background and body text is base03:base0 (please note that body text is not.
