Outline:
Scope of the Problem: Child Workers and Small-Scale Mining in Tanzania
Pre-Pathogenesis
Primary Prevention
From the Paper
"An estimated one million children work in small-scale mining and quarrying throughout the world. These children carry heavy loads, inhale dust and other particles, work in small spaces underground with no ventilation, and stand for long periods of time knee- or hip deep in water. They work long hours, on average ten to fourteen hours per day. They are paid low wages, sometimes none at all if they work with their families as a unit. According to the International Labor Organization, mining/quarrying activities is classified as one of the worst forms of child labor (Ofosu, 2001). The extent to which the involvement of children in mining/quarrying negatively impacts their short- and long-term health outcomes categorizes this phenomenon as a major public health problem."

Abstract
This paper relates the case of Misty Mountain Inc., a mining company, which is facing multiple discrimination charges by the U.S. Department of Labor for having illegally discriminated and dismissed two local miners who complained about hazards, thus infringing the federal Mine Safety and Health Act. The author points out that this charge is based on the federal Mine Safety and Health Act, 1977, which bars companies from dismissing or harassing miners who deny work in hazardous circumstances and report matters regarding threat of safety at workplaces. The paper contends that the MSHA is juggling with the statistics of miners' deaths, which is a problem, because precise reporting of injuries related to mining activities is important to the persistent enhancement in the occupational safety in the mines of the country.

From the Paper
"In yet another case Castle, Mystic Energy Inc, mine employee, lost his life on July 26 in the mine premises when his vehicle dashed with a coal truck on a company haul road. MSHA has failed to take cognizance of the accident and has not termed it as 'chargeable'. Even though the policy of MSHA is unequivocal as regards workers/miners who lose their lives on the premises of the mines, the death of that worker is chargeable. Within the ambit of the definition of worker is included not just mine employees, but even salesmen, delivery people or others with business interests at the mine site."

Abstract
Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world, being depleted of its natural wealth and resources and now totally dependant on aid from the rest of the world. This paper provides an overview of the general state of progress of Tanzania in various fields in order to understand the difficulty this country faces, along with the rest of Africa, in development and progress in the field of e-commerce. The paper looks at Tanzania's media, government legislation relating to communication networks and business, and the efforts being made by the private sector to develop e-commerce.
From the Paper
"In spite of all the factors that work against the progress of Africa in the field of computers and e-commerce, there is a commendable amount of progress in the field of e-commerce and related fields. Quite a few small firms actively pursue this field and have started small businesses that use e commerce as their basis. In fact, Africa is unique because the government has taken a keen interest in promoting and developing e commerce, whereas in the past, all legislation was hindered by red tape, (E-commerce Practice and Policy) Initially, a framework was created whereby the outline of e commerce was laid out in simple steps. Trust in the new e commerce system had to be built in the minds of the largely uneducated people. After this was achieved, the next step would be to research and analyze and thereafter establish the rules for framing a digital and e-commerce network that would be of practical benefit to all."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the Gas and Mineral Extraction (G.A.M.E.) Company is a primary exploration, processing and distribution company. It looks at how the company's distribution occurs direct to consumers primarily in its headquarter location, the United Kingdom, and to third party suppliers, in other countries. The paper also examines how the company's goals include continued expansion of direct sales in other regions, via joint ventures and partnerships, and how, in order to facilitate the accomplishment of these goals, the effective use of human capital will be critical to the organization's success.
From the Paper
""Danger money", as G.A.M.E. has discovered, is being offered at most major global players in the industry, in order to entice increasingly unwilling nationals to work abroad. Even if G.A.M.E. were able to match or beat the current offerings from other competitors, the challenge does not end there. The increased hazard pay leaves employers vulnerable to litigation if problems arise, since it acknowledges that the organization has knowingly exposed their employees to risk. In addition, it could indicate that the organization was guilty of a certain amount of complacency regarding the preparations that were needed to prevent the incident in the first place ("Packages", 2003)."

From the Paper
"Tanzania is an African nation that took a "socialist" path to development. Tanzania is ruled by one political party, the CCM, and it exercises supreme authority over all state organs. Its constitution became effective in 1977, and the principal doctrines are that all human beings are equal, that every individual has a right to dignity and respect, and that only with socialism and self-reliance can a society of free and equal citizens be constructed. The party has a broad membership, and any citizen eighteen years or older can become a member by accepting the aims, beliefs, and objectives of the CCM (Kaplan, 1978, 104-105).
Prior to the Arusha Declaration, development policies for Tanzania had encouraged extensive private investment and large financial contributions from abroad, and these orientations were..."

British Columbian Coal, 2005.
A look at the battle between BC miners and the management in nineteenth and early twentieth century British Columbia.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper briefly reviews the simmering feud between BC miners and management in the lucrative British Columbian coal industry of the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. The paper argues that the miners' frequent uprisings against Dunsmuir and his ilk were not only acts of rebellion against the prevailing status quo but illustrations of the underlying social tensions bedeviling BC society during this period.
From the Paper
"Any analysis of British Columbian history must also take into account the grim struggle for control between the workers and owners of BC's notorious nineteenth and early twentieth century mines. This paper will do precisely that, while suggesting that while the miners frequently fell short in their avowed goals, their courageous determined struggle against injustice illustrated the economic and workplace disparities and incongruities that typified nineteenth and early twentieth century British Columbian life. With that foremost in mind, it is to a discussion of British Columbia's most memorable and angst-ridden workplace relationship that this paper now turns. In her 1991 book, The West Beyond the West, Jean Barman does not fail to discuss the hard-scrabble existence of many BC miners under the rough hand of the Dunsmuir clan and others of their ilk. "

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper traces the history of the mineral and mining industry in Michigan's upper peninsula. The paper describes the influence that the mining and mineral industries had on the development of Michigan and how they helped shape the location and layout of the upper peninsula's towns and the transportation routes that served them. The paper also explains that the industry not only contributed dramatically to the development of Michigan, it simultaneously destroyed or altered many of the hills and rivers in the region.
From the Paper
"The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the northern of the two major land masses that form the state of Michigan. The UP contains almost one-third of the land area of the state but only three percent of the population. Since the Upper Peninsula is very rich in mineral deposits, including iron, copper and silver, it is not surprising that the iron-ore- mining industry has been the single most formative influence in the area."

Introduction
Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Americans' interest in nutrition has grown in proportion to their waistlines over the last 30 years or so. Further, as healthcare in general improves and the population ages, problems associated with old age which were relatively rare in the past (because few people lived to see their 80th birthday) have become increasingly common. This has also contributed to the growing interest in nutrition among Americans. Unfortunately, this interest has most frequently taken the form of an act of desperation - people look for a silver bullet to slay the monster of obesity or senescence (Tomlin, 2001). The silver bullet itself most often takes the form of a nutritional supplement or a fad diet. People seldom address the root cause of their obesity or medical problems, usually a lack of self-discipline at the dinner table and/or the gym. Even when embracing a fad diet people usually lack the self-discipline to stick with it long enough for it to truly fail."
