Ride-hailing company Uber Technologies Inc. wants to help marketers target consumers with ads based on where they have been and where they are going. The ride-hailing ad business could grow far larger, Mr. Grether said, especially when self-driving cars become more common. “Cars will become our next living rooms,” Mr. Grether said. The rider can also conduct transactions, such as clicking the ad to buy a product without leaving the Uber app, said Mr. Grether. Users can opt out of targeted ads on the Uber app at any time, said Mr. Grether.
Tom Brady briefly tried out retirement, but at age 45 he’s still a few years away from being able to fully join the AARP. The University of Georgia’s soon-to-be 25-year-old quarterback Stetson Bennett IV, on the other hand, is already embedded with the retirement group. Mr. Bennett and some of his linemen are stars of a new AARP commercial in Georgia that warns seniors of fraud. A student quarterback might seem like an odd choice to be a pitchman for retirees, but Mr. Bennett is one of the most popular people in the state after delivering the Bulldogs their first national championship in 41 years last season. He also represents a surprising development in college football: many of the players are a lot older than they used to be.

Tensiunile sociale dintre evrei și arabi în Israel au dat o lovitură puternică, joi, eforturilor principalului rival al premierului Benjamin Netanyahu, Yair Lapid, de a forma un guvern și de a îl înlocui pe actualul lider israelian, relatează digi24. Un acord în care Lapid și Bennett să guverneze prin rotație a fost pus pe masă, însă ar avea nevoie de sprijinul parlamentarilor arabi pentru a putea obține majoritatea. Bennett a fost citat de presa israeliană spunând că actualul conflict cu minoritatea arabă va face un astfel de guvern nefezabil. Ostilitățile armate între Israel și militanții palestinieni din Gaza au dus la violențe accentuate între comunitățile mixte din Israel. Lapid a declarat, însă, că își va continua eforturile de a forma o coaliție, însă șansele sale de reușită sunt mici în contextul politic actual al Israelului.

“I can’t believe that all this is happening,” Mr. Bennett said. (It didn’t hurt that his last NBC special, for his 80th birthday, won seven Emmy Awards.) “Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet to Come” is built around a September concert at Radio City Music Hall that featured singers such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Bublé, Leslie Odom Jr. and Lady Gaga saluting him. There are interview segments with Mr. Bennett scattered in, and a show-within-a-show comedy sketch starring Alec Baldwin, who reprises his “Saturday Night Live” impersonation of a blithely clueless and hyper-ebullient Tony Bennett. ”Indeed, it seems quite fun to be Tony Bennett.

Tony Bennett Finds His Heart in Central Park

Tony Bennett sat on a green bench in the morning calm of Central Park, painting the fiery foliage of a tree reflecting against a duck pond. He wore a green tracksuit and sneakers. His brush hand zoomed across the sketchbook in his lap. He tuned out the city, sitting by a southern entrance to the park this month. “Excuse me, sir?”Mr. Bennett glanced up and then gazed down again.

An irresistible force and an immovable object: that would be Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett on Friday evening at Radio City Music Hall where they sang more than 30 standards, separately and together, before a respectful multigenerational audience that tilted older. The immovable object was Mr. Bennett, a living monument at 88, who, when he moved across the stage, proceeded slowly, cautiously and with dignity. With his customary grace and humility, Mr. Bennett embodied the patriarch of American popular song he has been for the last two decades. Around him fluttered that irresistible force, Lady Gaga, 29, an eccentric living bauble, in a succession of extravagant showgirl outfits and wigs. The chemistry between the performers in this Cheek to Cheek tour is noticeably different from the cuddly granddad and granddaughter intimacy of their videos.
