Nunavuts hunger problem We cant pretend it doesnt exist anymore Nutrition North only the latest proposed solution to stumble under mismanagement The Canadian Press Posted Jan 24 2015 600 AM CT Last Updated January 26 2015 Israel Mablick an Inuk father of five who cant afford food to feed his family is seen at his home with his baby Israel Jr in Iqaluit Whether a solution can be found to the norths hunger issues is anyones guess After all food shortages are nothing new to the Inuit Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press Israel Mablick opens the door of his refrigerator and takes stock of its meagre offerings This is all we have for food he says gesturing to the mostly empty shelves There is a small pot of leftover seal meat on the second shelf next to a tub of margarine and a couple of slices of bread Theres juice a bag of milk some water and a carton of eggs plus condiments and a small bag of shredded cheese Nutrition Norths impact on northerners uncertain auditor general says Leona Aglukkaq admits reading newspaper was a bad idea during question period In his freezer there are a few bags of frozen vegetables next to a carton of Chapmans ice cream Two cereal boxes Corn Pops and Corn Flakes are the only items in one of his cupboards Thats all we have Mablick says and theres six kids The 36yearold Inuit man shares a small twobedroom Iqaluit apartment with his wife and their five kids his mother his sister and his young nephew His is the face of hunger in Nunavut the bare cupboards and empty fridge emblematic of a longstanding problem that even todays government programs dont address The federal governments 60million food subsidy Nutrition North is only the latest of the proposed solutions that has stumbled under mismanagement and the enormity of the hunger problem A history of starvation Whether a solution can be found is anyones guess After all food shortages are nothing new to the Inuit Theres always been incidents of starvation said Frank Tester an Arctic historian at the University of British Columbia One of the worst episodes occurred in the late 1940s and early 1950s when a shift in caribou migration patterns caused widespread starvation in the southern interior of the Kivalliq Region to the west of Hudson Bay The collapse of the fox fur trade after the Second World War was devastating to the Inuit who relied on it as a source of income to buy flour tea sugar hunting traps rifles and ammunition Economically Inuit were now in really serious trouble Tester said In some cases Inuit were relocated to other parts of the North with more abundant natural resources Inuit were moved around The attitude was Well you know what the hell They can survive any place theres snow and caribou and foxes to be had said Tester who has studied and written about the relocations But such relocations proved controversial There was a royal commission in the 1990s Ottawa eventually agreed to pay 10 million into a trust fund to compensate the families of the Inuit who in the 1950s were moved 2000 kilometres from Inukjuak in northern Quebec to what is now Resolute and Grise Fiord the two most northerly communities in Canada Government apologized in 2010 In 2010 thenaboriginal affairs minister John Duncan apologized on the governments behalf for the Inukjuak relocations But having Canadian civilians in an otherwise unoccupied area bolstered Canadian sovereignty at a time when other nations especially the United States were expressing increasing interest in the Arctic as a possible front in the Cold War with the Soviet Union Frobisher Bay is viewed as people make their way along a path in Iqaluit earlier this month A change in government policy in the 1950s and 1960s led to an upheaval of the traditional Inuit way of life Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press To monitor the continents northern frontier Canada and the United States built 63 radar stations across the Arctic stretching from Alaska to Baffin Island The Distant Early Warning Line sites had a major impact on northern society The stations and the southerners who staffed them were sometimes the first contact Inuit people had with the outside world A change in government policy in the 1950s and 1960s led to an upheaval of the traditional Inuit way of life Tester said By the mid1950s the government sort of saw what they thought was the handwriting on the wall he said that Inuit were going to have to be modernized instead of kept in their traditional lifestyle Thus began the sweeping change from a traditional Inuit way of life Having a job meant there was now pressure on Inuit workers to maintain a steady income to support their families That made it difficult to hunt since people now had to travel long distances from their communities to find game Not being able to hunt meant Inuit had to buy their own food either from stores or local hunters Food has always been expensive Food has always been expensive in the North The population is relatively small and scattered across a vast region far from the major transportation hubs Shipping costs are exorbitant particularly in Nunavut where there arent any roads to connect the territorys communities to the rest of Canada The high cost of shipping food to the North put some items beyond the reach of many people In an effort to make food more affordable the federal government started the Northern Air Stage Program better known as Food Mail in the 1960s to subsidize shipping costs On mobile View the food cost interactive here The subsidy shifted to retailers when Nutrition North replaced Food Mail in 2011 The new program gives retailers a subsidy based on the weight of eligible foods shipped to eligible communities But Auditor General Michael Ferguson recently found the Aboriginal Affairs Department did not choose eligible communities based on need Instead communities were chosen based on whether they had yearround road access and if they had used the old Food Mail program Those that made very little use of the program are only eligible for a partial subsidy while those that did not use it arent eligible at all Consequently community eligibility is based on past usage instead of current need the audit says As a result there may be other isolated northern communities not benefiting from the subsidy where access to affordable nutritious food may be an issue Aboriginal Affairs told Fergusons team it has looked at expanding the full subsidy to around 50 flyin northern communities but doing so would increase the cost of the program by 7 million a year Cathy Sawer volunteers at the Qayuqtuvik Soup Kitchen in Iqaluit Nunavut Protests have popped up across the territory over food insecurity Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press Before the audit was released in late November the Conservative government announced it would spend another 113 million on the program over the next year But many northerners are skeptical that businesses are actually passing on the full subsidy to customers Aboriginal Affairs has not required merchants to report their profit margins which over time would indicate whether the full subsidy is being passed on Fergusons report said such a measure would help quell skepticism about whether consumers are actually getting the full benefit of the subsidy The department now says that as of April 1 retailers will have to provide information on their current and longterm profit margins Frustration on Facebook The cost of food has contributed to a palpable and growing sense of frustration across Nunavut The catalyst for much of the angst was a Facebook group called Feeding My Family People started posting photos of shocking price tags in grocery stores That grew into street protests a rare show of Inuit defiance Bringing something as private as poverty and the fact that youre hungry and youre food insecure thats very different former Iqaluit mayor Madeleine Redfern said last month in Iqaluit I think people are saying This is not a hidden problem We cant pretend it doesnt exist anymore Overwhelmingly Redfern said those going hungry are Inuit There is a disparity not only ethnically but also the social classes As of this past December Nunavuts labour force stood at 14000 people 9500 of whom are Inuit But a closer look at the statistics shows some 8500 workingage Inuit who are not part of the labour force compared to only 600 nonInuit people A price tag lists the price of a jug of orange juice at a grocery store in Iqaluit Nunavut in December Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press The participation rate that is the number of people either employed or are actively looking for a job was also much lower among Inuit The Inuit participation rate was 527 per cent compared to 88 per cent among nonInuit The unemployment rate for Inuit people in Nunavut was 179 per cent during the last three months of 2014 the territory reports its statistics using a threemonth moving average By comparison the jobless rate across the rest of Canada in December was 66 per cent The most recent figures released by the territorys statistics bureau show the number of people in Nunavut on social assistance was 14578 in 2013 Using tea to stave off hunger Back in his cramped Iqaluit apartment Mablick sips from a mug of lukewarm tea brewed with a tea bag he has already used a few times He reuses tea bags to save money He hasnt eaten in a week and he turns to tea to stave off hunger pangs He gives what little food he has to his five children who are between the ages of oneandahalf and 11 Mablick clad in a torn white Qikiqtani Inuit Association Tshirt says hes been out of work since October On mobile See Scenes from Iqaluit photos here Social assistance trickles in but its not enough to feed the entire household So Mablick has been forced to sell most of his possessions to put food on the table Parting with his snowmobile was especially difficult he said Pretty much everything that we can sell jewellery or carvings whatever he said I mean Ill go to my shack which is outside Ill carve something and sell something but its been a while since I carved I started working on a cribbage board but its been so cold that my toes are freezing so I cant really carve anything right now Like many hungry people in Nunavut Mablick also turns to friends and family for food but knows they face their own struggles Traditional Inuit fare socalled country food that consists of caribou seal and whale meat offers one option to address the food problem A key recommendation of the Nunavut Food Security Coalition a group made up of representatives from the territorial government Inuit organizations industry and social justice groups was to encourage people to hunt Former Edmonton native Will Hyndman started a hunter and trappers market in Iqaluit and invited hunters most of whom struggle to buy ammunition and fuel to sell their meat in town On mobile See Searching for Solutions photos here The goal was really to change the conversation about how we deal with country food here in Iqaluit Hyndman said icicles forming on the tips of his moustache as he stood with his dog on the frozen shores of Koojesse Inlet When you go hunting you cant take your fish and stuff it back down your gas tank You cant take your seal and turn it into more bullets whereas traditionally everything came from the animals that you were hunting So now we need to something else to close that loop of sustainability and the market was one way to do that Soup kitchen stretched thin People in Iqaluit also cope by turning to the citys soup kitchen or to the food bank on the two days a month that its open Theres clearly a demand for these services Stephen Wallick chairman of the board of the Niqinik Nuatsivik Food Bank said it started out in 2001 serving about 30 families Today he said as many as 120 families come looking for food and supplies every two weeks Iqaluits soup kitchen which makes enough for 200 servings a day is also stretched to its limit and sometimes past it Stephen Wallick chair of the board of the Niqinik Nuatsivik Nunavut Food Bank shows a twoweek supply of food at the Iqaluit food bank Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press It goes in the red every now and then volunteer Cathy Sawer said during a recent visit Your funding sources maybe get behind and then occasionally theres maybe extra expenses Case in point Sawer said one of the elements on her stove just stopped working so shes going to need an electrician Prices for that are pretty high up here The most desperate as seen in television footage that emerged after Ferguson released his report even forage in local dumps for scraps of food So what can be done Tester the Arctic historian said the territory needs to focus on online opportunities They need to develop a northern economy and as far as Im concerned a northern economy is online he said On mobile See Iqaluit Soup Kitchen photos here In other words a webbased economy is what young people are interested in and what has real possibility for Nunavut Very little has been done to explore this and develop it Instead theyre pouring tens of millions of dollars into training programs to turn people into miners Nunavut has slower more expensive and more limited internet access than most of the country a big obstacle to developing a webbased economy Major investments need to be undertaken to bring highspeed internet access to the North The federal government is spending 305 million over five years to develop Canadian broadband in rural and remote communities including approximately 12000 households in Nunavut and the Nunavik region of northern Quebec The basic infrastructure is there said Tester It just needs to be upgraded big time Support for hunters Others have suggested that the federal government run a program similar to the Nunavut Hunters Income Support Trust which provided around 2 million a year to hunters so they could buy equipment to hunt fish and trap A similar program for the Inuit of northern Quebec is fully funded through the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement Nunavut Tunngavik Inc which administers the Nunavut land claim ran the harvesters support program The program was shut down for 2014 so Nunavut Tunngavik could spend the rest of the year reviewing it Nunavut Tunngavik president Cathy Towtongie said the federal government should help offset the cost of hunting equipment in the same way it helps subsidize farmers in the rest of Canada Israel Mablick goes through a daily struggle to find his familys next meal Sean KilpatrickCanadian Press We could have a hunter support program in place When farms do not make enough produce farmers are given a lot of subsidies across Canada But in Canadas Arctic prices are rising in terms of bullets ammunition and SkiDoos the equipment So its more costly to hunt she said in a recent interview at her Iqaluit office So if we can subsidize at least some of the cost like bullets then I believe we should have a program thats designed for hunters so they can provide for the community and their families None of this matters much to Mablick for whom it is a daily struggle to find his familys next meal I make sure that they are fed and that theres something for them to eat instead of me because being a parent I make more sacrifices he says Whats the point of sacrificing my kids Theyre my everything Ive got to sacrifice myself for them And thats what I do CBCs Journalistic Standards and Practices About CBC News Report Typo or Error

The Predator What Exactly Are the Ultimate Predators 143 Shares The ultimate hunter becomes the hunted in the first full trailer for Shane Blacks The Predator which serves as a sequelreimagining of sorts for the iconic scifi franchise Released this morning the new trailer shows a classic Predator fighting a losing battle against something Agent Will Traeger Sterling K Brown refers to as an ultimate Predator The new extraterrestrial creature is certainly more physically imposing than its traditional counterpart even sporting alternate coloration but what exactly is the story behind the new threat And why is it fighting another lessultimate Predator The first official synopsis for The Predator revealed a new motivation for the aliens interstellar hunts using the DNA obtained from different alien species around the galaxy to genetically upgrade themselves to become stronger smarter and deadlier than ever before Before this it was assumed Predators traveled from planet to planet simply to hunt for sport a purely lethal leisure activity Now we know theres an entirely new layer to their motivations RELATED Shane Blacks Predator Is Taking a Page From the Alien Playbook The new trailer shows the result of this genetic power boost in the form of a much more fearsome incarnation of the Predator It is at once immediately recognizable as the classic alien monster yet visibly different rom its predecessors with a hulking stature increased musculature and bluegreen skin color with red tigerlike stripes Whereas Predators tend to stalk their prey from the shadows this ultimate Predator appears to have no problem bursting through walls and standing out in the open amidst its enemies stealth is no longer necessary in the face of this new evolution The concept of ultimate or super Predators is not a new one to the franchise after all 2010s Predators saw three super Predators hunt the films main characters across an alien world These upgraded Predators also had a rivalry of sorts with their weaker counterparts with the two forms of Predators fighting to the death in the movies climax This deadly rivalry carries on to Blacks upcoming film and even serves as the focal point of the latest teaser poster for The Predator released earlier today boasting the ominously telling tagline The Hunt Has Evolved the traditional Predators skull and spine are the latest trophy in the ultimate Predators collection The question then is why has this new ultimate Predator arrived on Earth Is it hunting another member of its species due to a glorified intergalactic schoolyard grudge match Well probably not exactly The new trailer reveals that the classic Predator was captured by an American black ops including former Army Ranger Quinn McKenna Boyd Holbrook during a mission somewhere in Mexico Taken back to a top secret research facility Traeger oversees the governments experimentation on the alien and its technology until the creature manages to escape and regain its weapons This is when the ultimate Predator appears Were guessing its been dispatched to Earth to kill his predecessor perhaps due to its dishonor of being bested and captured by an inferior species in the first place RELATED New Predator Image Pits Alien Against Human Guess Who Wins Predators being sent to Earth to clean up loose ends is not a new concept to the franchise either 2007s Aliens vs Predator Requiem saw a veteran Predator land on Earth to eradicate Xenomorphs and a XenomorphPredator hybrid on the loose in small town America with humanity caught in the crossfire Here it makes sense that the ultimate Predator has arrived on Earth not necessarily to obtain new genetic material but to eliminate all evidence of the traditional Predators incursion on the planet Directed by Shane Black from a script cowritten with Fred Dekker The Predator stars Boyd Holbrook Trevante Rhodes Jacob Tremblay KeeganMichael Key Olivia Munn Sterling K Brown Alfie Allen Jane Thomas Augusto Aguilera Jake Busey and Yvonne Strahovski The film arrives in theaters on September 14 KEEP READING The Predator Unleashes a Gruesome New Poster Tags The Predator Galactus Just Made A Surprising Cameo In a NonMarvel Movie

Did You Know the FDA Recalled Bayers Yaz Contraceptive Neither Did Anyone Else Bayer BAY is being sued in 1100 lawsuits alleging its bestselling product the contraceptive Yaz carries a higher risk of blood clots so youd think that when the pill was recalled it might have generated some headlines But it didnt In fact the FDA did issue a recall for Yaz back in November 2009 scroll about halfway down to see it The reason Bayer had reported the product was within specification when in fact it wasnt the company had taken a number of measures and averaged them together to get the number it needed And no one noticed The reason you dont know anything about this is because the recall was buried in an Enforcement Report section of the FDAs website The recall was never published in the Recalls Market Withdrawls Safety Alerts section of the site which is where youd expect to see such a thing The FDAs site is infamously confusing The recall is significant for a number of reasons First it involved specifications for the dosage of drospirenone in the pill which is the new ingredient that the lawsuits allege is more dangerous than the traditional recipe Second the recall wasnt small It involved 32856 boxes of Yaz at three packs per box and 122208 boxes of Ocella an identical product Third and perhaps most significant although the recall was dated Nov 25 the FDA inspected Bayer on this same issue in March 2009 and warned the company about its averaging practice in August 2009 The unanswered question here is How many outofspec pills did women take before the product was recalled Even the lawyers suing Bayer had no idea the recall happened attorney Janet G Abaray told BNET and they were looking for just such an event Related Bayers BirthControl Problem Is Exploding 1100 Lawsuits Allege Yaz Causes Blood Clots On Yaz Bayer Believes a Multiple of a Rare Event Is Still a Rare Event BMJ Ingredient in Bayers Yaz Causes More Blood Clots Than Rivals Suits Claim Bayers Yaz Caused 50 Deaths Novel Theory of Blood Clot Causation First published on May 6 2010 2010 CBS Interactive Inc All Rights Reserved

Postal Service spanked over insurance ads When the US Postal Service advertises that its Priority Mail service comes with 50 of insurance included you might assume that it comes with well 50 of insurance But thats not always the case and the National Advertising Division NAD has asked the Postal Service to make more clear the limitations and exclusions While the Postal Service disagreed with the NADs determination that the insurance claim was misleading it has agreed to make changes The issue is that while 50 insurance can be included with Priority Mail postage which starts at 560 it comes with quite a few catches The issue came to light when a consumers Priority Mail envelope containing a 100 gift card was lost but she only received 15 in compensation plus the postage she paid according to NAD the advertising industrys selfregulatory body operated by the Council of Better Business Bureaus It turns out the Postal Service website has asterisks next to the words 50 insurance included in Priority Mail service The asterisks noted that to qualify for the 50 in insurance a package must have a tracking barcode However it turns the Postal Service has a lots of other rules about what you can claim and what you cant with that insurance Among the rules is a 15 cap on gift card reimbursements But that wasnt made clear said NAD Based on the information available at the advertisers website at the time of the consumers purchase of the Priority Mail service and absent any information in the record that would otherwise alert the consumer to restrictions that would apply to the insurance coverage for her Priority Mail package NAD determined that the message reasonably conveyed by the webpage is that the consumer would be reimbursed 50 for her lost shipment So the organization told the Postal Service it needs to be more upfront about what isnt covered by the 50 of insurance thats supposed to come with Priority Mail The Postal Service said it will but it could take time to get it all done Please bear in mind that the DMM Domestic Mail Manual is a Federal regulation of the Postal Service that sets forth the terms under which the Postal Service provides products and services the Postal Service said Making changes to the DMM can be a lengthy process In addition to the internal review that must take place before a proposed DMM change is determined to be appropriate the Postal Service is required by Federal law to publish a notice of changes to the DMM in the Federal Register which provides the public with a period of time generally no less than The Postal Service also said it planned to make its website more consumerfriendly and the fine print is a bit more obvious already But if you plan to send something by Priority Mail and it gets lost or damaged be forewarned you can not claim sentimental value the cost of an appraisal or Death of honeybees crickets and harmless live animals not the fault of the USPS You can read all 34 exclusions and limitations just to be sure First published on July 29 2014 2014 CBS Interactive Inc All Rights Reserved Mitch Lipka Mitch Lipka is an awardwinning consumer columnist He was in charge of consumer news for AOLs personal finance site and was a senior editor at Consumer Reports He was also a reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer and the South Florida SunSentinel among other publications Twitter Facebook

Blog July 17 2018 The Power of Retail Technology How Amazon and Walmart are Using Technology to Their Advantage By admin Writing by Yiping Hao July 17th 2018 A wellknown online sales event like Amazon Prime Day is theoretically impulsing buyers through mobile and ecommerce technology With the number of these events escalating an increasing number of consumers are shopping online which is contributing to a number of brick and mortar store closings However The large mobiledriven consumer attitudes and behaviors do not mean that traditional retailers are doomed to lose competitiveness Instead its forcing the retail industry to change the way it currently operates and to adopt new capabilities such as Click Collect services The retail industry is facing a revolution driven by technology and innovation after both Amazon and Walmart have announced technologies that could make the shoppers love the convenience of grocery Amazon Go Just Walk Out Technology Amazon Go is a checkoutfree grocery store opened by ecommerce giant Amazon which means you can walk into store grab a product off the shelf and just walk out the door without ever stepping foot in the checkout line Just Walk Out utilizes several technologies which includes computer vision deep learning algorithms and sensor fusion to achieve the whole shopping transaction The ceiling of the store has several cameras supported by AI visual recognition technology and the shelves are equipped with weight sensors that aim to detect when a product has been removed by a customer and how many products revolutionary technology could calculate the accurate inventory counts in realtime and avoid the situation where shoppers order a product online but the item is actually unavailable Walmart Fresh Online Experience Techonology Unlike Amazon Walmarts Fresh Online Experience Technology FOE focuses on providing the online consumer with the freshest items Also Walmarts FOE technology is patent pending which states The Fresh Online Experience may facilitate customers ability to visually verify the exact fresh item they will be receiving Walmarts FOE utilizes image scans to show the online shoppers instore products and then the shoppers would have a limited number of attempts to approve or reject the items from one of the images sent to them Once the item is approved the item will be deemed with the edible watermark and then packed for delivery This new technology aims to overcome the notion that online produce consumers often receive older almost expired products and allows consumers more flexibility and choices to In summary Amazon and Walmart are embracing technology and using it to their advantage From technology that enhances the consumer experience to technology that supports the back office such as retail sourcing technology supply chain management or retail product lifecycle management PLM technology These two retail technology giants aggressively lead the pack in most categories and it is now starting to force others to follow suit or become an afterthought in the retail industry For more information about the benefits of retail technology read the full report How to Improve Supply Chain Automation For Improved Retail Sourcing Decision Making Or for more about todays retail sourcing product lifecycle management retail PLM and supply chain management SCM tools please Contact Us or visit CBX Software Writing by Yiping Hao July 17th 2018
