Global look

Photo: Damon Winter/The New York Times/DAMON WINTER/The New York Times/ When Laura Poitras co-founded First Look Media with Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill in 2013, the venture had immediate prestige: Poitras and Greenwald shared a Pulitzer Prize for their work at the Guardian on Edward Snowen’s NSA leaks, and Scahill’s reporting illuminated the excesses of the U.S. global war on terror. Now Scahill is the only co-founder who remains. Greenwald left in November, accusing the Intercept’s editors of “censorship,” claiming that the outlet had refused to publish a column concerning Hunter Biden’s business dealings, because they were in the tank for Biden. Intercept editor-in-chief Betsy Reed said Greenwald was making himself out to be a “victim, rather than a grown person throwing a tantrum,” she wrote in a scathing public statement. In January, Poitras announced that she, too, had left First Look — but not by choice.

New Zealand charity Heart Kids has tapped into potentially deep global pockets by accepting donations from cryptocurrency owners . It has received three cryptocurrency donations totalling over $2000 in two months, said chief executive Mark Longbottom. That was a long way short of the $2 million a year the charity had to fundraise to operate, but he said it was a potentially lucrative source of revenue not affected by the global pandemic. Bitcoin has surged 400 per cent over the past year. Covid-19 made last year extremely difficult for charitie s, with the alert level changes disrupting fundraising across the board, from sausage sizzles to large scale street collections like the Cancer Society’s Daffodil Day.

January 10, 2013 08:20 Akira Back, touted as one of the top chefs in Las Vegas, has a wide following among politicians and celebrities such as Bill Clinton and Paris Hilton. He was recently nominated for the prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards, often called the "food Oscars" and named a "rising star" by American magazine Restaurant Hospitality. Back is the head chef of the prestigious Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge at the Bellagio, Las Vegas. He said he is constantly sketching and dreaming up news dishes which are delicious and look great. He said his philosophy is to awaken customers to their sense of taste.

"So I look forward to a world where we do have, just after all we have food safety laws we have drug safety laws, there will be similarly I think rules and regulations (on data).
