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
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)."

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 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."

From the Paper
"Gold is an important component in the South African economic system and has been instrumental in helping South Africa develop into an industrialized nation in this century. It is also an important industry that has helped support the system of apartheid as a way of preserving a pliable and cheap labor force.
Gold and diamonds are the best-known and historically most important minerals mined in South Africa, though there are others, including copper, iron ore, manganese, asbestos, chromium, silver, beryllium, antimony, tin, and platinum. Gold remains the most important mineral in the country, and the spectacular rise in the price of gold in the 1970s allowed gold revenues in South Africa to increase dramatically, though prices have subsequently declined. Gold accounts for more than half the total mineral sales for the nation, and it is produced in three..."

"There have been many researchers who have indicated that nutritional practices among the elderly both affect the aging process and are, in turn, affected by same. ... reports that nutrition may interact with the aging process in three important ways. Foremost is that most tissue functions tend to decrease during adult life, with nutrition and other intervening variables tending to somewhat ameliorate this age-related loss of tissue substance and function. Second, the frequency of many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer, increases with advancing age and evidences the highest frequency for those aged individuals falling between 50 and 90."

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. "

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."

Bone Mass Density, 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses osteoporosis, a disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue that most often results in enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk. The paper further discusses the positive impact of exercise on women suffering from osteoporosis.
From the Paper
"Ernst's (1998) review of 21 controlled studies on the subject of osteoporosis and exercise concludes that. "Collectively, however, these studies leave little doubt that regular exercise can delay or halt bone loss in women." Specifically, he reports that exercises not involving any loading are not effective, or considerably less effective, than weight-bearing exercises. The optimal exercise regimen should thus avoid further bone loss and reduce injury risks. Weight-bearing exercises, as weight-lifting, jumping and running, appear best suited for improving bone mass. However, they can carry a risk of injury: patients experienced a higher than average incidence of vertebral fractures if they executed exercises with their spines flexed."

Transvaal-British Relations 1886 - 1899, 2004.
An analysis of the impact of the mineral wealth of the land on the Transvaal's relations with Britain between 1886 and 1899.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the financial interests central to the advent of the Boer War and how this war impacted on British - Transvaal relations. It also looks at the role Britain had to play in the wider context of the Empire, and how the events that took place between 1886 - 1899 impacted on relations between British and other imperial powers, for example Denmark.
From the Paper
"In the 1890's, Captain C Ballard of the Norfolk regiment wrote ' I am afraid we are fighting chiefly for the benefit of a lot of money - grubbing Jews.' This highlights important contemporary conceptions about why the Boer war was being fought and what led to it in the first place. Both at the time and afterwards, many people on both sides felt that Rand capitalists had a worryingly large influence over events in the Transvaal and even Kruger himself. The most famous proponent of the economic, capitalist view of bad relations between the Transvaal and Britain was Hobson. He wrote that British expansion in general was due to 'financial pressure groups in the metropolis finding new fields of investment in order to combat under consumption and circumvent the resultant over - saturated money market in the home country.'"
