The publication of these initial articles is the first installment of a comprehensive blueprint to accelerate the control of lung cancer and ensure that more individuals who are diagnosed with lung cancer become survivors.

If you follow tech news, it’s impossible to escape how AI has taken over the conversation. No matter how frivolous it might seem, every company wants to take advantage of the AI trend; even Spotify recently announced an AI-powered playlist generator. While AI can be used for harmless fun, I often discuss the more serious and, by extension, the more potentially dangerous uses of AI.

Author Douglas Wood is an educator, wilderness guide, and author of many books. Several years ago we wrote a summary article revealing our enthusiasm for him. Frankly, if he had written only Old Turtle (read our review from 1992 here), he would still be one of our favorite spiritual writers of the last thirty-five years. This new book is a collection of his wilderness essays.

“These evening encounters — the gold of sunset blending into moonrise, the gradual appearance of stars — were timed perfectly for theater, of course, when strange stories are a little easier to believe, the line between reality and fantasy a bit harder to discern. At such times magic is in the air, as lighting and staging provide the perfect setting for the eternal yet ever-changing drama of rocks and trees, birds and animals and people, and the mystical ties that bind us all together.

I've worked as a lawyer in the advertising and marketing industry for nearly fifty years. I've seen it grow from true partnerships between brands and their agencies with constant focus on creative and reaching the right consumers with the right message to an atmosphere plagued with distrust, deception, and, at times, delusion. As the economics tighten and the media landscape continues to explode, particularly with the Internet and now programmatic, the industry is on a spiral downward.

In a recent report from NewsGuard, it found that online ads placed programmatically from more than 140 brands are populating sites that are unreliable and offer little, if any, value. This and other issues surrounding programmatic media buying have been widely reported for years. Most recently, the level of wasted dollars in programmatic was confirmed (again) in a June 2023 study by the Association of National Advertisers (where I serve as its General Counsel).

Lou Paskalis, one of the top media experts in the advertising industry, wrote an interesting column on his observations after attending the industry's annual confab in Cannes, France. The event is a massive gathering of the top global leaders in marketing and the networking is unmatched. So, there is a lot to watch and listen to.

It seems every day we have to incessantly listen to yet another
prognosticator opining on Artificial Intelligence and how it's
going to change our lives. How it will destroy jobs while at the
same time creating new ones. How it will simplify routine tasks and
eliminate the need for tedious work. How it can drive cars, make
hamburgers, diagnose disease, mow lawns, write books, or make
advertising. Yet the truth is, most of these applications
aren't computers replicating intelligence at all.
