Happy days are here again : Cocoa farmers, middlemen traders and the Structural Adjustment Program in southwestern Nigeria, 1986-1990s

This article examines the impact of the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) that was installed by the military regime of Ibrahim Babangida in 1986 on the cocoa economy of southwestern Nigeria. The structural adjustment program resulted in the dissolution of the Cocoa Board. The scrapping of the Cocoa Board engendered significant changes in the marketing of cocoa, as Nigerian, and non-Nigerian exporters (Syrians and Lebanese) sought to gain control of the cocoa trade. This resulted in a price war that led to a monumental increase in the price of cocoa. The cocoa boom from 1987 to 1988 was compounded by the heightened inflationary situation created by the structural adjustment program. Prices of farm implements rose and laborers also increased their wages. With the end of the cocoa boom in early 1989, some farmers found it increasingly difficult to maintain their farms, resulting in the intensification of sharecropping. Also, some laborers who had benefited from the windfall during 1987 and 1988 began to buy their own farms from cocoa farmers

Letter Written by Katherine Trickey to Her Folks Dated October 8, 1945

[Transcription begins] Mon. 8 Oct 1945 Dear Folks, It is quiet in the office this morning partly due to the fact that there is plenty of help again. I have two new girls to break in – Ida Copley who has been with me about 2 weeks and – Lenhart who has been here about 2 days. It is confusing teaching them but we can get the work done now. – It is good to be up-to-date again. We are in the process of changes, bosses again, Capt Smith has transferred to the Officers Section and we will have a Major Huen as boss, I believe, when he arrives. So I’m not doing much in the way of getting ready to pack the stuff up for storage until I find out how he wants to do it – Every officer has such individual ideas always. Marjorie Crockett made Staff Sergeant Saturday which made me very happy – She has always been so conscious of the fact that she was lower rank than I. She has a new job which she likes and is very pleased to get the rating before she leaves the WAC. It makes her feel that her work was at last appreciated. She plans now to get out when I do and we’ll spend a few days perhaps in New York together on the way home. – We’d both like to see a little more of the country before going back to Maine!!! If only it were spring or summer, we’d try for a trip to California on furlough rates – but December doesn’t seem a very good time to make a long trip like that. I have seen two good pictures this week-end – Sat night – we went to see “The House on 92nd Street” - It is an FBI picture which is authentic and very worth seeing. It showed the file room at the FBI. – Sure hope I never have to work there!!! Last night we saw Pat O’Brien & Ellen Drew in “Man Alive” – which was a crazy comedy that the title gives no idea about. It was so crazy but very funny situations. Marj and I took blankets and went out in the woods and stayed all yesterday afternoon. The weather was perfect – the bugs have gone and it was really comfortable. My sunburn is all over thank goodness. It was pretty uncomfortable for about a week. Time for dinner Love Kay [Transcription ends

Letter from John Muir to [Katharine M.] Graydon, 1904 Jul 21.

[Original letter returned to Miss Katherine Merrill Graydon]Martinez,California,July 21. 1904.Dear Miss Graydon:My little visit to you in your charming island home was delightful, and I have since wished it had been months instead of hours, and no doubt some of us will be with you again in good times to come.I found everybody and things here about as usual. Wanda and Helen are in the High Sierra having, of course, a grand trip. Helen is quite well again. The Colemans are putting up a nice new house. The Swetts are well. Frank has a wonder baby, a rival to Coleman\u27s.I\u27m hard at work again trying to write another book on Yosemite. In the big talus of letters piled on my desk I found not a word from Indiana. Professor Butler wrote me a long letter the other day, cheery and witty as ever. He is in his 90th year, hale and happy, a fine sight to see.I shall never forget that ride up the long hill with you and Professor Alexander, one of the great beautiful days of my life. Remember me with kindest regards to your cousin Alexander and to all those interesting people to whom you introduced me that College night, especially to my guide back to the [hotel] in the midnight dark.And believe [me], dear Katherine.Ever faithfully your friend.John Muir[Envelope addressed Miss Katherine Graydon, Oahu College.

Why employees choose to stay or leave you: A case based study of Chinese employees' retention and turnover in a Japanese owned firm

Abstract Children have played in an old man’s garden for several days. The old man is not happy with this. He wants the children will not come to his garden again. So he gives 25 pence to each child and says: ‘You let here become cheerfully that makes me feel younger and happy, so I pay you to show my appreciations about this.’ Children are so happy. The next day, they also come and play. The old man gives 15 pence to each child at the second day, and says: ‘Well done my good boys, but I am not very rich. So I can not give each one of you 25 pence in every day. Today I give you 15 pence each. Is that OK?’ The children are still happy with this. After 2 days, the old man reduces the payment to 5 pence each. The Children becomes quite angry and shout: ‘Just 5 pence? Do you know how hard we are working? We will not come again and play for you.’ In this story, the old man changes children’s intrinsic motive ‘play for their own happiness’ into extrinsic motive ‘play for get money’. Today, the story’s old man is like the employers and the children are the employees. Pence can be regarded as compensations, posts, personal relations, promotions, etc. Lacking intrinsic motives are quite common in today’s employment relationships where most employees work for their employers rather than for themselves, so most employees’ attitudes toward working are negative. When employees are unhappy with the job itself, incomes, posts, promotions, organisational institutions, working conditions, supervisors, personal development opportunities etc. supplied by employers, they reduce their efforts or quit the job quite often consequently inducing many negative effects to organisations. Under this background, this dissertation involving 5 staying employees, 5 leaving employees and 2 senior managers, attempts to provide some further understandings of the personal and organisational aspects contributing to employees’ retention and turnover

Letter from Eveline Merrill to John Muir, 1861 Jul 17

are all very, very happy. I know the pleasures of such meetings after a long absence Would that I could drop in upon your just now, instead of writing, and see father, and mother, and Maggie, and Sarah . Remember me kindly to them all, and tell them I feel almost acquainted with them through you. I know I would like them. Perhaps I could play Maggie better were I to see her. You know John what I did the best I could, under the cir- cumstances. I have had a good visit from my brother at Janesville, and expect him here again in a couple of weeks. He wants me to go home with him, but I shall probably remain here six, or eight weeks longer. When I do go, I will replace the book which has given you to much anxiety. I am sorry you have been such trouble about it as the loss can be so easily remedied. I am at the bottom of my last page, and will close hoping you will keep me informed of your whereabouts Very truly your friend Eveline Lone Rock July 17, 1861Dear friend John, I thank you very much for your two good long letters. It was in my heart to answer your first one soon after its reception, but I was then indebted to several friends for letters, which of course must first be answered Other duties then came in and finally Mrs Pelton came and spent eleven days with me, and while she was here Mr Pelton came, and spent a Sabbath, on his way to Madison where he expected to see you, but did not find you. Mrs P. looked very thin and pale, but she improved in health a good deal while here. I enjoyed their visit exceedingly. They both feel little Fannie\u27s death very much of course. I think Mrs. P. is more re- conciled to the bereavement than 00300 he-that is, she takes a Christian view of the bereavement, tho he tries to submit without murmuring. I think the affliction has had a very softening, happy effect upon both of them, but Mrs P. in particular. It was a very heavy blow upon them. How my heart has bled for them. Often have I wept over the event. You know John that little Fannie was very dear to me but I feel that she has escaped a world of trouble and is now happy in Jesus bossom, and I cannot wish her back again. Her memory is embalmed in my heart, and I hope to meet her in the future world. A letter is just at hand from Mrs Pelton. She is alone just now. Mr P. and Emily are up the river. Emily will be gone a week. Grandma is away too, and the Bissell\u27s have gone home not to return again, so that Mrs Postand Miss Chaffe are all the ladies she has in the house now. Mrs Post\u27s baby, is a wonder of course. Amos Snow is to become the pastor of the congregational church at the prairie. I should think from what Mrs P. told me, when she was here, that he was a man in whom all would feel interested. I am so glad they are to have a good minister, and good preaching there. We have the best of preaching once in two weeks in the little school house near by, and quite a good sabbath school every Sabbath [School deleted], with Miss Merrill for superintendent. Wont you come and visit the school, and see how I live in the country? I will teach you how to make cheese, if you do not know how already. I have become quite expert at the business. I am glad you are home, for I know yo

Letter from Helen [Muir] to [John Muir], 1908 Feb 22.

Daggett, Calif.Feb. 22 - 08Dear Papa -I got the box of good things yesterday ad we are all enjoying them - Mary is happy over the two pretty boxes of [Sonney\u27s?] chocolates, and Dix is delighted with the cigars, and thanks you. When the box was first opened the fragrance of the two big fine pineapples made me jump up and down - it was so good and we are all having a feast. Don\u27t worry about the apricots - the figs04071 2are so good they make up for their loss.Your letter reached me this afternoon. I have been afraid you were not well. Im so sorry that you and Wanda have had that miserable Grippe again. It must be dolefully lonesome for you in that big empty house. Take good care of yourself and come back to this grand country as soon as you can. There is no Grippe here, and I care more and more for this big glorious country. I\u27ll keep away from people - it is the040713great open sage country that I love. Last night we had a little sprinkle, but this morning is bright and sunshiney and I am enjoying the glorious air. The weather has been pretty good since I wrote last. I\u27m glad you are having some good sunshine in the valley after the constant fog and drizzle.Miss Brodt has invited an old maid friend of hers from Oakland to come and visit her here for about two weeks. I think Miss Cooper is coming04071 4about the first of March.We are all well and happy. I keep fat and comfortable and dont worry about anything. Just enjoy this desert of mine, and my horse and dog, my guitar and my letter, so I am very happy. A few days ago I rode up on the slope south of the ranch and made friends with a dear little burrowing owl. I got up to within ten feet of him and whistled and he blinked and walked around bowing to me - so funny I could hardly keep from laughing.040715Im going up there some sunny day with my camera to take his picture as he bows to me.I had a nice long letter from Dr. Merriam the other day, also a funny book. I\u27m going to write and tell him how finely Im getting along.Please send back that Calkins letter to me - I think I ought to answer it.Im very glad the ranch is all right, and everything looking cheerful. Take good care of yourself and write soon.Always yoursHelen0407
