...Resubmission – M1 Another issue with Primark was regarding child labour; Primark had been using child labour in Bangladesh and India. Primark clothes were being made in India and Bangladesh by factories using child labour. Hundreds of people had been protesting outside Primark’s Oxford Street store in London to claim that Primark has been using Child Labour. Primark sacked three of its clothing suppliers in India after being told that the programme has evidence of its suppliers subcontracted the work to the factories using child labour. George Weston who is a chief executive of Associated British Foods and which owns Primark said the company's Indian contractors were guilty of ‘wholesale deception’. According to my research children as young as 11 were working in a squalid conditions, sewing tiny beads and sequins onto cheap T-shirts and also Primark’ s fashion sweatshops pay them just 60p a day which is lower than a minimum wage. Primark was alerted to the use of child labour in southern India by a BBC Panorama investigation. A spokesman from Primark said that ‘Primark is an ethical organisation and take its responsibilities seriously’. So at this point, I would say that it can be improved if the British government introduce regulation to prevent using child labour. Primark is working overtime to gain back its reputation and try to avoid any illegal labour practices and poor working conditions in its supply chain. Another issue was that one of Primark’s UK suppliers was found...

...discussion is George Weston Limited. The company was founded in 1982 by George Weston and became one of the largest publicly traded companies in the food industry. Through its subsidiaries, George Weston Limited is one of the largest food processing and distributing groups in North America. The Weston Foods operating segment I based on manufacturing fresh and frozen baking goods in Canada and frozen baking and biscuits in the United States. The other segment is Loblaw operating segment, which is operated by Loblaw Company Limited and its Canada’s largest food distributor and one of the leading providers of general merchandise, drugstore and financial services. The segment that I will be discussing about is Weston Foods segment, specifically western manufacturing branch in Calgary, Alberta. Starting in 2007 Alberta job market had a huge boom due to the oil and gas industry. Lots of people move from all over the country to Alberta as there were many well-paying jobs. That created huge problems for Weston Food Manufacturing as they were not able to compete in wages and benefits with oil and gas industry. Due to the large increase in the population housing demand increased and house prices went up more than 100%. Living in Calgary became very expensive. As Weston Food weren’t providing competitive wages and benefits people started to leave and look for better paying jobs. Turnovers were increasing and they were unable to maintain production. I started with Weston Foods in February...

...as CD phoenix is a team which is currently winning the league and are set to go to the National finals. CD phoenix was a lovely team off the court and an impressive one on the court. They really gave us something to aim towards. We arrived at the next match after an hour’s drive from our previous game at Loddon. We were tired but refreshed. This match was against Weston Park Blades, who are second in the South Region league. The court was very impressive, even equipped with an electronic scoreboard that counted the goals and ticked down the minutes of how long to go. We warmed up again, feeling slightly intimidated by their very big squad. When the first whistle blew, we launched into action. The first quarter was fast, both teams quickly settling into their pattern of play. We could tell immediately that Weston are a good team, but we knew that before we even started. However we played very well, in that first quarter, with great shooting and some turnovers. But Weston Blades was a quick team and the first quarter ended with them just ahead of us. We were pleased. The second quarter didn’t go as well. Weston put on their ‘big guns’ and their standard went up even...

...through solid rock except with cold chisels. An engineering crew that had to send three hundred miles to a foreign expert to get the dimensions for a proper wheelbarrow was not surprisingly short on all kinds of necessary instrumentation.” (Morrison21) Conclusively, I wouldn’t say that canal building was “a systematic botching of a very simple process” as Morrison stated. Even though there were many issues cause by inexperienced men even after being given very specific instruction, the act of building a canal wasn’t simple. It was complicated and required much more than adequate work hands and they simply didn’t have all of those things. The fact that they were able to build canals at all is impressive given the state of engineering in the United states at that...

...his more successful pieces. Becoming a more active member of the Sierra Club, Adams took his first venture on the High Trip, which is a month like hiking expedition into the Sierra Mountains with a group of around two hundred people. It was on this first trip that he met Albert M. Bender, who ended up sponsoring his first personal portfolio. Through the financial support and friendship, Adams realized he could become profitable, and slowly shifted his focus to photography, leaving his pianist career behind. Expanding his role in the photography world, Adams starts associating himself with well established artists in an attempt to expand his abilities in the “straight photography” style. While in San Francisco, he was introduced to Edward Weston, and along with some other photographs, founded the group f/64. This group, according to Jonathan Spaulding, with a belief that “precision and unaffected directness… were truer to the fundamental characteristics of the medium,” tried to take highly detailed images with technical perfection (p 21). For Adams, the motivation in straight photography was clear as he highly values the photographic process and very adamant on creating pieces while maximizing the abilities of the camera. With his new venture into straight photography, one of his first photographs adopted the new style marked a pivotal point in his career. Adams took Monolith, the Face of Half Dome on one of his nature walks with the Sierra Club, and was able to display his true...

...Honors American Author Essay In an interview, Anne Sexton claims, “Poetry is my life, my postmark, my hands, my kitchen, my face.” (“Anne Sexton Quotes Quotable Quote”). This statement accurately describes Anne Sexton’s life considering she wrote approximately 14 books of poetry while she was alive. Anne Sexton was born on November 9th, 1928 in Newton, Massachusetts and died on October 4th, 1974 in Weston, Massachusetts and was also was most closely associated with the Confessional Movement of the early to mid 20th century. Anne Sexton’s dark, deranged, and personal thoughts fit perfectly with the other writers that took part in the Confessional Movement but her poem, “Young” takes her to her parallel universe that she so hopelessly wished she lived in. The poem “Young” by Anne Sexton was part of her book of poems, All My Pretty Ones which was published in 1962. Throughout some of her poetry, including “Young” it is not so obvious to see why she was part of the Confessional Movement. When one reads the poem “Young” it can easily be interpreted that it is about a lonely young girl on a starry summer night, lying outside on the grass, thinking about how she is transforming from a child into an adolescent. It also touches base on what she used to believe as a child and what she knows is real now. There is almost a sense of mourning when she realizes that her old thoughts are not what they seem, especially when she speaks of God. One can also conclude that she’s dealing with...

For civilians in the southern United States, the tobacco industry was a lifestyle, which was centered around the means of selling the tobacco -- auctions. Auctions are comprised of four main groups, the warehousemen who own the warehouse where the auction takes place, the farmers who grow the tobacco and bring it to the warehouse to have it sold, the buyers who want to buy the tobacco and sell it for profit, and finally, the auctioneers who run the auction. These four groups comprise the auction sector of the tobacco industry and interact in unapparent web of complex and important relationships. Auctioneers are the most important player in the...

...Immigration Control Immigration control does not mean no immigrants, in actuality it should read, illegal immigration control. This hot topic needs looking at carefully, because immigrants do a lot for this country and if they were to all be deported, then parts of the economy of this great nation would decline even more and quicker than it is currently. We hear many stories of how immigrants are taking jobs away from the legal residents and speculation as to how much better life would be for its citizens if those that are here illegally would not take all the jobs and send the money out of the country. From the surface, this looks exactly like that. The economy of the United States is currently in a recession, if not depression. Many people on unemployment are unable to find jobs to support their families. The media capitalizes on the misfortune of so many, and stirs the pot by talking about the amount of illegal aliens that live and work within our borders. There are states that have implemented strict terms for employers when hiring new employees. South Carolina is one of those states that threaten businesses that do not properly check for citizenship of its workers. From South Carolina’s Department of Labor, License and Regulation, the following statement from the Office of Immigrant Worker’s Compliance say, “Failure to enroll in and use E-Verify to verify new hires will result in probation for the employer or suspension/revocation of the employer’s business licenses.”...
