A quotation from Will Rogers

There is only one form of employment in our country that I can think of, but what has no bright spots, and that’s coal mining. There is generally an overproduction and they are out of work; if not that, it’s a strike. Then when they do go to work, the mine blows up. Then if none of these three things happen, they still have the worst job in the world.

Will Rogers (1879-1935) American humorist
Column (1929-12-19), “Daily Telegram: Will Rogers Enters A Plea For Families Of Lost Miners”
[1061]

Dedi Supriadi swings his hoe into the soil at his aubergine and cucumber farm – land where he once dug for gold in the hamlet of #CitorekKidul in #Indonesia.

The mountainous region is scarred by illegal #GoldMining , where workers carve deep into hillsides and caves and risk their lives in the process.

Tempted by the traces of #gold left behind by a former state-run mine, Aneka Tambang #ANTAM , villagers have turned to small-scale #IllegalMining , driving #deforestation and using #toxic chemicals like #mercury and #cyanide that #pollute water and kill #wildlife.

Critics and $environmentalists have called for stricter measures to stop the practice and encourage a return to traditional and less destructive ways of life like #farming.

A police crackdown and signs of change, such as several #miners recently switching to farming, have raised hopes of a possible turning point in the effort.

THE BLOODY #PIRATE MANIFESTO
"No #ads. No #VIP. #No god. Just seed.

Welcome to the Age of Monetized #Piracy.

Where “#free” comes with cookies,
Where “#anonymous” means “newsletter,”
Where every #pirate flag has a price tag sewn in.

You wanted to sail the high seas
They sold you a lifeboat subscription with #ads.

🦷 RULE #1:
If you make money off #piracy you are the #Navy.

#TARGETS:

Ad-plastered “free streaming” sites
→ You click "Play", they load 9 #JavaScript #miners and your ex’s #Facebook ad.
→ Solution: #Kill their #revenue. #uBlock, #TamperMonkey, Empty.gif carpet #bombing.

VIP #Pirate #Accounts
→ They sell stolen #Netflix access like it’s a f***ing bottle service.
→ Solution: #Leak it. #Fork it. #Burn it.

#Darknet Pirate Resellers
→ "Premium Ebook Packs - Only $29 #BTC"
→ Solution: #Doxx. #Spoof. #Blacklist.
(They sell what should be holy. Purify with fire.)

#FAKE #LIBRARIES ARE NOT #LIBERATION.

"#PDF download" — 9 popups later, your #RAM is crying.
"Buy 3 #EPUBs, get 1 free" — you just colonized knowledge.
"#DMCA takedown coming 😭" cry #harder, #bitch.

#Archive it. #Mirror it. #Share it. Don't sell it.

REAL #PIRATES DON’T RUN #ADS.

They #seed.

They #encrypt.

They #disappear.

Every time you monetize piracy, an #FTP server #dies in a basement.

THE #FINAL #RULE:

“If your #piracy has a #profit model,
then our #piracy will include you.”

#Ads? Nuked.
#Subscriptions? Hijacked.
#Privacy policies? Weaponized.

You are not a user. You are a bullet.

“You wanted #torrent #freedom.
They gave you streaming #debt.”
Now take it back. With #fire.

Victorian Cornwall’s leading sector: metal mining

There was no question about Cornwall’s leading economic sector in the mid-1800s. In terms of income, productivity and employment it was metal mining. The early 1860s marked the peak of Cornish mining. Deep copper mining had broken out of its eighteenth-century heartland west of Truro in the 1810s, first to mid-Cornwall in the 1810s and then further east in the 1830s and 40s, where it joined earlier smaller tin mining ventures. At the same time, the predominantly tin mining concerns of the St Agnes, Helston and St Just districts continued to employ a large number of miners.

In 1861 30 per cent of men aged 15 to 69 were enumerated in the census of that year as working on and in mines. This includes surface workers, enginemen, mine smiths, mine clerks and others, as well as the iconic underground tributer. A map of the relative distribution of these men clearly indicates the districts most affected by mining – west Cornwall from Perranporth to St Just, mid-Cornwall around the Hensbarrow granitic outcrop and east Cornwall (where it had spilled over the Tamar into west Devon in the 1840s.)

Few of Cornwall’s 212 parishes were wholly untouched by mining; a large block in north Cornwall made up the main non-mining district while other non-mining parishes were to be found along the south coast. But of the over 29,000 miners in 1861 over a quarter (7,453) lived in just four parishes – Camborne, Illogan, Redruth and Gwennap. These four comprised the Central Mining District. They accounted for more than twice the number of miners at work in east Cornwall for example, the relative importance of the latter being exaggerated by the lower population density of the area.

The role of mining is therefore perhaps better illustrated by a map of the absolute number of miners, which more clearly portrays the mining districts of Cornwall. Here it is.
