How does a Saskatchewanian survive in a post-family farm economy? If you're lucky enough to live within commuting distance to a major centre, you can subdivide your grandpa's homestead. It's not hard these days to morph an ailing farm operation into a tidy acreage, surrounded by tacky vinyl plank fences and diminishing fields of underpriced wheat. Then you can sell your rural dream plots at a handsome profit to cash-rich Albertans. You don't want to be a renter in a boom economy. As I've witnessed before in Alberta, there's a fundamentalist zeal to a province in the throes of a housing boom. Everyone has a gleam in their eye and a wet paintbrush at the ready to test the market value of their property. Yet no one talks about how low-income people are faring. Ironically, it was affordab...

This article focuses on rural girls' aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls' imaginations of migration and its outcome. Furthermore,...

Another intense thriller is Hide (Bantam, 452 pages, $11) by New England's Lisa Gardner. When a long-buried pit containing the bodies of several young girls is uncovered, Annabelle Granger, who's been living under an assumed name and under the radar for many years, is thrust back into the public eye... and possibly into the clutches of a man who's been stalking her ever since she was a little girl. Annabelle, whose father moved them from state to state when she was young, keeping her safe from something she barely understood, is a strong and sympathetic protagonist, as is Bobby Dodge, the newly minted police detective whose single-minded determination to figure out the connection between Annabelle and the recently discovered bodies causes him to blur the line between personal and profes...

This paper documents the performance differences between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) and Joint Ventures (JV) in electrical and electronics industry in Thailand for the period of 2000 to 2004. Unlike other studies, we analyse the performance differences using DuPont analysis. The impact of capital structure on the profitability of WOS and JV is further studied in this paper. We find that WOS have significantly higher sales growth, have more efficient asset management and carry higher debt ratios. On the other hand, JV are more efficient in cost control and thus have better performance in term of ROS. Consistent with managerial overinvestment agency theory, debt ratio is positive and highly significantly related to ROE. In addition, better asset management and higher leverage of WOS l...

Who exactly threatened the Legislative Building? How does the Serpent's Chain feature into the story? Possibly, because [Rae Bridgman] intends to carry on these adventures, she feels that we don't need to know all the answers in one book, but their omission is troubling. Michelle is dared to try an old spell and run three times around St. Andrew's Church on the Red at midnight. She suddenly finds herself back in the 19th century, when the Hudson's Bay Company had its headquarters in the Lower Fort and native tribes camped nearby. They know that wide-open spaces always end in a fence. When the dog-filled boat bumps up against a huge ocean trawler, they are sure they've reached a fence, and when the crew feeds them plates full of hot dogs and sausage they're sure they've found doggy heaven.

There is a continuing debate about the extent to which women in the 19th century were involved in economic life. A sutdy utilizes a reading of a number of novels by the English author Anthony Trollope to explore the impact of primogeniture, entail, and the marriage settlement on the relationship between men and women and the extent to which women were involved in the ownership, transmission, and management of property in England in the mid-19th century. The marriage settlement, primogeniture, and entail play a crucial role in Trollope's plots, in the creation and transmission of family wealth. Although Trollope's treatment of them is ambivalent, they have negative as well as positive consequences. The portion and the settlement appear as indispensable elements of marriage, but with the ...

Throughout the series, conventional threats are posed by German and Japanese agents and bombs; however, Nelvana's primary foes are Kablunets, Mammoth Men, and Ether People - as one observer has noted, like other war-time superheroes, Nelvana counted on the Canadian military to deal with the Axis powers while she focused her attentions on repelling alien attacks in the North (Bell 1992: 9).
