  • As the main supply center for 500 miles in any direction, the general store in Ittoqqortoormiit, the bigger village (pop. 550) across the bay from Cap Hope, sells everything from guns to butter. Although such stores sell seal, musk ox, and other Arctic meats, most Greenlander families still obtain their meat from hunting. Hunting to feed the family is Emil Madsen's lifelong pursuit; taught to him by his father. Too fill his family's larder, Emil is often gone for a week or more. Not surprisingly, prices in the general store are high, but the Danish government heavily subsidizes Greenlanders' incomes to the tune of $6,786 per person in 1999, the latest year for which statistics are available. Geopolitically, Greenland is part of Denmark, hence the close ties of the people and the cross-immigration. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 153).

  • Designed for government agencies, military, police, SWAT units, and security forces, the TRAP T-2 is a remotely operated rifle. In dangerous situations, lawmen could fire the tethered robotic gun from a position safely out of harm's way. Developed by Graham Hawkes, a successful independent inventor, the gun is powered by a backpack worn by the shooter. At a shooting range near Hawkes's office in Port Richmond, California, the $47,000 rifle fires with deadly accuracy; untroubled by nerves or fatigues, it calmly and tirelessly tracks and hits objects no bigger than a quarter. Some divisions of the US military are already using the system and several police departments are also testing the TRAP T-2. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 150-151..

  • Seal hunter Emil Madsen's rifle tied to a wooden stand during one of his hunting trips near his home in Cap Hope, Greenland. (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) He has just shot a seal and is rowing his small plywood boat out to haul it in before it sinks out of sight and reach. Unfortunately he did not reach this seal in time and it was lost beneath the ring of blood on the clear arctic sea. Seal meat continues to be an important source of meat for some Greenlanders, but for many, Danish food has replaced it in the native diet.
