Marketplace by CBC

Marketplace is Canada’s consumer watchdog, revealing what Canadians need to know to protect themselves, their families and money from slick scams and misleading claims. Innovative, insightful and irreverent, Marketplace is Canada’s top-rated investigative program.

Last season, an average of more than one million Canadians tuned in each week to this award-winning series for repairmen horror stories, hidden-camera investigations into pharmacists and homeopaths, deceptive food labelling, shady lenders, and much more.

Each week, MARKETPLACE’s ensemble cast of journalists investigate a number of relevant, topical issues.

This season, Marketplace reveals how your double double is causing trouble, what’s really in your cheap fashion jewelry and why you may not want to trust those “best before” dates.

Prior to joining AMD, Dr. Su served as senior vice president and general manager, Networking and Multimedia at Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., and was responsible for global strategy, marketing and engineering for the company’s embedded communications and applications processor business. Dr. Su joined Freescale in 2007 as chief technology officer, where she led the company’s technology roadmap and research and development efforts.

Dr. Su spent the previous 13 years at IBM in various engineering and business leadership positions, including vice president of the Semiconductor Research and Development Center responsible for the strategic direction of IBM’s silicon technologies, joint development alliances and semiconductor R&D operations.

By age 10, Lisa developed a taste for engineering by taking apart and fixing her brother’s remote control cars to see how they worked. However, during her freshman year at MIT in 1986 when she took a position as an undergrad research assistant manufacturing test silicon wafers for graduate students, she came to truly understand the power and potential of semiconductors. She focused her remaining education, including a masters and doctorate from MIT, on understanding and advancing state-of-the-art semiconductor device technologies. It was during this period when Lisa began to see a future defined by semiconductors becoming intertwined with nearly every aspect of daily life.

“AMD is at our best when we are taking bold, calculated risks and aggressively pursuing the leading-edge technologies that change the world.”

I hope to see you there.

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary
Her Majesty – The Queen

Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain is currently the longest-reigning monarch in British history. She was crowned in 1953 and her 60 years on the throne was celebrated in June 2012 with the Diamond Jubilee.

Queen Elizabeth II was born Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary on April 21, 1926, in London, to Prince Albert, Duke of York (later known as King George VI), and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She married Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1947, became queen on February 6, 1952, and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She is the mother of Prince Charles, heir to the throne, as well as the grandmother of princes William and Harry. As the longest-serving monarch in British history, she has tried to make her reign more modern and sensitive to a changing public.

Elizabeth has modernized the monarchy as well. She had dropped some of its formalities and made certain sites and treasures more accessible to the public. As Britain and other nations have struggled financially, she has welcomed the elimination of the Civil List, which was a public funding system of the monarchy dating back roughly 250 years. The royal family continues to receive some government support, but the queen has had to cut back on spending.

Not one for the spotlight, Elizabeth likes quiet pastimes. She enjoys reading mysteries, working on crossword puzzles and even watching wrestling on television.

Sir Craig Reedie

As the new President of WADA, and having been involved with the organization since the start, it is remarkable to think that WADA has only been in existence for under 15 years, particularly when one considers all that has been achieved in this short period of time.

Since its formation in 1999 as an urgent response to a crisis in sport, WADA has evolved into a global leader tasked with harmonizing, coordinating and promoting an effective fight against doping in sport.

WADA is a unique partnership between the sport movement and governments, with its main aim being to protect the clean athlete and provide a level playing field for all. This unique partnership helps foster the combination and complementing of sports’ and governments’ respective resources and assets, and results in a coordinated and cohesive approach to anti-doping. Furthermore, it underlines the fact that if we, the anti-doping community, are to succeed in levelling the playing field, it will require the will of everyone who wants, and believes in, pure and fair sport.

Unfortunately, all these years later, doping still exists in sport, but we can be optimistic with the new revised World Anti-Doping Code which will come into effect on January 1, 2015.

WADA its World Anti-Doping Agency

This Code goes a long way to answering some of the questions that our community has faced in recent years and, as the President of this organization, I believe that the collaborative approach WADA adopts will spur us all on to confront the biggest challenge facing Olympic sport today. The fight against doping in sport has received a major boost with the announcement by the President of the IOC of the creation of a fund of $10 million to be directed to enhance research. This creates a very exciting new opportunity and is gratefully acknowledged by WADA and all its stakeholders.

Collaboration between all stakeholders and a united determination to protect the clean athlete and maintain clean and fair sport must be central to all that we do. Many of the resources on this website are directed to those organizations and individuals who have a stake in the fight for clean sport, so I hope you find this a useful platform for further information. On behalf of the clean athletes across the world, we thank you for your interest and continued support.

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton
was born on October 26, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois, going on to earn her law degree from Yale University. She married fellow law school graduate Bill Clinton in 1975. She later served as first lady from 1993 to 2001, and then as a U.S. senator from 2001 to 2009. In early 2007, Clinton announced her plans to run for the presidency. During the 2008 Democratic primaries, she conceded the nomination when it became apparent that Barack Obama held a majority of the delegate vote. After winning the national election, Obama appointed Clinton secretary of state. She was sworn in as part of his cabinet in January 2009 and served until 2013. In the spring of 2015, she announced her plans to run again for the U.S. presidency. In 2016, she became the first woman in U.S. history to become the presidential nominee of a major political party.

FIRST WOMAN IN U.S. HISTORY TO BECOME THE PRESIDENTIAL

Shortly after winning the U.S. presidential election, Obama nominated Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. She accepted the nomination and was officially approved as the 67th U.S. secretary of state by the Senate on January 21, 2009.During her term, Clinton used her position to make women’s rights and human rights a central talking point of U.S. initiatives. She became one of the most traveled secretaries of state in American history, and promoted the use of social media to convey the country’s positions. She also led U.S. diplomatic efforts in connection to the Arab Spring and military intervention in Libya. On 20 January 2007, two years to the day before the next presidential inauguration, Senator Clinton filed with the Federal Elections Commission to declare her formation of an exploratory presidential campaign committee. Nine months later, she formally declared her candidacy for the U.S. Presidency. This was unprecedented. Clinton proved to be the first woman in history who occupied a position of elective national office as a member of a national party to enter and remain in a presidential primary race to the end of the season. She was also, of course, the only wife of a former President to enter any type of electoral race on a national level and the unusual precedent vied only with her own record in having run for and been elected to the U.S. She and her daughter joined her husband as named members of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation in 2013. There she focused on early childhood development efforts, including an initiative called Too Small to Fail and a $600 million initiative to encourage the enrollment of girls in secondary schools worldwide. As part of her 2016 platform, she has emphasized raising incomes, improvements to the Affordable Care Act and reform of campaign finance and Wall Street. She favors allowing pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, expanding and protecting LGBT and women’s rights, and instituting family support through paid parental leave and universal preschool.

Hillary Clinton has served as secretary of state, U.S. senator from New York, first lady of the United States, first lady of Arkansas, a practicing lawyer and law professor, and an activist. But the first thing her friends and family will tell you is that she’s never forgotten where she came from or who she’s been fighting for throughout her life.

Donald J. Trump is the very definition of the American success story, continually setting the standards of excellence while expanding his interests in real estate, sports and entertainment. He is a graduate of the Wharton School of Finance. An accomplished author, Mr. Trump has authored over fifteen bestsellers, and his first book, The Art of the Deal, is considered a business classic and one of the most successful business books of all time.

During the 2014 political cycle, Mr. Trump was a top contributor and fundraiser for Republican efforts. Mr. Trump also campaigned across the country, with each candidate winning by a record margin.

Mr. Trump has over 25 million followers on social media. He frequently uses this platform to advocate for Conservative causes, Republican candidates and to educate the public on the failures of the Obama administration. Mr. Trump appears on Fox and Friends on Monday mornings and devotes much of his time to media interviews in order to promote a Free Market, the importance of a strong family, a culture of Life, a strong military and our country’s sacred obligation to take care of our veterans and their families. Mr. Trump has long been a devoted supporter of veteran causes. In 1995, the fiftieth anniversary of World War II, only 100 spectators watched New York City’s Veteran Day Parade. It was an insult to all veterans. Approached by Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the chief of New York City’s FBI office, Mr. Trump agreed to lead as Grand Marshall a second parade later that year. Mr. Trump made a $1 million matching donation to finance the Nation’s Day Parade. On Saturday, November 11th, over 1.4 million watched as Mr. Trump marched down Fifth Avenue with more than 25,000 veterans, some dressed in their vintage uniforms. A month later, Mr. Trump was honored in the Pentagon during a lunch with the Secretary of Defense and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In New York City, the Trump signature is synonymous with the most prestigious of addresses, among them the world-renowned Fifth Avenue skyscraper, Trump Tower, the Trump International Hotel & Tower, Trump World Tower at the United Nations Plaza, 40 Wall Street, and Trump Park Avenue. His portfolio includes the historic Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida and his ever expanding collection of award-winning golf courses (seventeen thus far) which span the U.S from Los Angeles to New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and Florida, and internationally from Scotland and Ireland to Dubai. He recently added the iconic golf resorts of Turnberry, Scotland, and Doonbeg, Ireland, to his portfolio and Trump National Golf Club Washington, DC, has been highly acclaimed. The Trump Hotel Collection has grown to include properties in Chicago, Las Vegas, Waikiki, Panama and Toronto in addition to Trump SoHo/New York and the acclaimed Trump International Hotel & Tower on Central Park West which once again won the coveted Mobil Five-Star Award as well as the Five Star Diamond Award from the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. The Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago was awarded the #1 Hotel in the US and Canada by Travel & Leisure Magazine.

The Smithsonian said an acting secretary will be named to run the Institution during the six months between Clough’s departure and Skorton’s arrival.

The appointment was a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead an institution that is at the heart of the country’s cultural, artistic, historical and scientific life,” said Skorton, who is 64. He called for fresh thinking and new alliances to serve society through science, technology, humanities and the arts to develop the next generation of thought leaders.

S’well
founded by Sarah Kauss

Sarah Kauss is a Harvard Business School grad and former Ernst & Young tax consultant. She hit a winning formula with her stylish and sustainable stainless steel water bottle company, S’well. The bottles are now found almost everywhere: Nordstrom, the Container Store, Starbucks, Williams Sonoma, J. Crew, Athleta and many more. Kauss received a bachelor’s in accounting from the University of Colorado Boulder.

After receiving her bachelor’s degree, Kauss worked as a CPA for Ernst & Young in Denver, Colorado and Los Angeles, California. Kauss received her MBA from Harvard Business School.

From 2010 to 2014, Kauss donated a portion of her company’s profits to WaterAid, an organization that helps people without clean water sources.

The company partners with organizations such as American Forest, Drink Up, Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and No Shave November. In 2015, her company donated $100,000 to UNICEF and partnered with its Tap Project to provide children with clean water.

S’well is a reusable water bottle. S’well was founded by Sarah Kauss in 2010. Kauss started the company after attending a panel at her five-year Harvard Business School reunion focused on the global clean water crisis.

She initially invested $30,000 of her own savings and operated out of a brownstone in Manhattan.

The company sells bottles that hold 9 US fluid ounces (270 millilitres), 17 US fl oz (500 ml) or 26 US fl oz (770 ml).

They are double insulated stainless steel and reusable. By April 2015, S’well was selling over 90 different styles. The manufacturer claims the bottles are non-leaching, non-toxic and maintain the content’s temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
