Over a third of Canadians have looked up information online about a show while watching.

ThinkNow Media™ Explores Streaming and Live TV Habits of Total Market ConsumersThinkNow
Consumer demand for streaming services has opened the door for new players. Snapchat has signed development deals in the past year with Walt Disney’s ESPN, Discovery, the NFL, A+E Networks, Time Warner’s Turner Broadcasting, and Vice Media. Twitter recently signed on to stream several sports leagues, which is on par with its strategy to carve out their share of the live streaming category. Facebook will stream 20 MLB games for free this season. And YouTube TV is now streaming live TV for cord-cutters around the globe. But it’s not just social networks looking to capitalize on the popularity of streaming. Comcast now allows its X1 customers to stream Netflix seamlessly from their service.
As you can see, things in media are, for lack of better words, complicated. Unpacking who watches what and where is becoming increasingly difficult. So, ThinkNow Research wanted to get back to basics and just ask people how they consume media. In our recent study, ThinkNow Media™, we look at a nationally representative sample of U.S. Hispanics, African-Americans, Asians and non-Hispanic whites to see if there were any major differences in usage across the major media modes.
The findings of the study are depicted in our 2017 report, now available for download at no cost to you.
One in three Brits drinks at home alone with 15% regularly polishing off a bottle of wine to themselves, according to our exclusive recent poll for The Grocer.
That means many are regularly knocking back around 10 units of alcohol in one sitting, instead of the recommended daily maximum of two to three units for women, or three to four for men. Despite this, only 14% confess to drinking in excess, suggesting the government’s advice on alcohol has failed to get through to some consumers.
These are just some of the key findings from our latest Harris Interactive poll of more than 2,000 consumers, conducted for The Grocer, and we wanted to share more of the research findings with you.

Data roaming: The mobile habits of Canadians travelling in the U.S.Rogers Communications
The majority of Canadians – 70 per cent, according to a national survey conducted by Head Research for Rogers – want to keep using their smartphones after they cross the border.
Nomophobia on the rise in Canada: Majority of Canadian smartphone owners sleep next to their device and expect to be even more connected in 2013
What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed? Over half of Canadians reach for their smartphones.
Rogers Communications and Vision Critical came together to study the habits of Canadians, their views on technology, and to determine the trends we’ll be seeing in 2013. As we ring in the New Year, more and more, Canadians are becoming attached to their smartphones. Whether for business or personal use, these mobile devices bring the content they need right into their hands almost immediately. In the latest Rogers Innovation Report, Canadians are increasingly experiencing Nomophobia, the state of stress caused by being away from your smartphone. As many as 65 per cent of Canadians have admitted to feeling naked without their smartphone that one time they head out the door, forgetting their device on the nightstand or kitchen counter.
The Report also revealed over half of Canadian respondents said they increased the amount of TV and movies they watched over the Internet in 2012 – nearly half (43%) say they have watched Gangnam Style since it was released. Cloud services are predicted to become more commonplace and working from home will become more popular as mobile networks become faster. The majority of Canadians feel that wireless network speeds have improved in the last year and by 2017, almost half expect to save at least two hours a day by using faster home and mobile Internet.

Rogers 2011- Rapport annuel sur la responsabilité sociale d'entrepriseRogers Communications
Notre engagement à l'égard de l'environnement, des organismes sans but lucratif et de nos clients.
Chez Rogers, nous sommes constamment à la recherche de moyens d’améliorer notre rendement et de faire ce qu’il y a de mieux pour l’environnement, l’économie et la société. Que ce soit en trouvant de nouvelles façons de réduire notre empreinte environnementale, grâce à la modification de nos systèmes d'éclairage ou à la diminution des charges de nos véhicules pour qu'ils consomment moins de carburant, en réduisant les déchets dans nos bureaux, en investissant dans nos collectivités par l'entremise de dons en espèces ou en offrant gratuitement du temps d'antenne aux organismes de bienfaisance afin qu’ils puissent promouvoir leur cause, Rogers fait de son mieux pour redonner aux collectivités qu’elle dessert.
Nous avons publié la semaine dernière notre plus récent rapport annuel sur la responsabilité sociale d'entreprise, qui souligne nos succès et nos défis en matière de durabilité écologique au cours de la dernière année. En voici quelques faits saillants :
Nous avons réduit notre utilisation interne de papier de 19 % et fait passer le nombre de nos clients qui reçoivent une facture électronique de 25 % à 35 %.
Nous imprimons tous les magazines des Éditions Rogers sur du papier certifié par le Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Nous avons détourné 2 557 tonnes de déchets provenant des bureaux et 375 tonnes de produits liés aux télécommunications et aux TI des sites d’enfouissement, des augmentations respectives de 11 % et de 57 % comparativement à 2010.
Nous avons versé plus de 71 millions de dollars en espèces et en dons en nature à des organismes de bienfaisance enregistrés et à des organismes sans but lucratif. Cette somme a, entre autres, permis le lancement en 2011 du Fonds pour la jeunesse de Rogers, notre nouvelle stratégie de dons visant à appuyer les jeunes Canadiens à risque et à contribuer à leur développement par l'éducation.
L’engagement de nos employés atteint les plus hauts niveaux, grâce à d’excellents outils de communication, à des canaux de rétroaction, à un programme national de bien-être et à notre culture inclusive.
Nos nouveaux outils et processus de résolution de problèmes répondent mieux aux besoins des clients quant à leurs principaux facteurs de mécontentement. Rogers est également la seule entreprise de télécommunications au pays à avoir un ombudsman.
Nos clients peuvent aussi participer à cet effort! Inscrivez-vous à la facturation électronique ou donnez votre ancien appareil dans le cadre de notre programme Échange Cellu-Bouffe, vous contribuerez ainsi à réduire les déchets ainsi que notre empreinte environnementale.

Here at Rogers, we’re always looking at ways to improve our performance, to do the best for the environment, the economy and society. Whether it’s finding new ways to reduce our environmental impact through lighting upgrades, lessening our vehicle loads to use less fuel, or minimizing waste at our offices, or through investing in our communities by providing cash donations and free air time so that charities can promote their cause, we at Rogers are doing our best to invest in the communities we serve.
Last week we launched our latest Corporate Social Responsibility Report, highlighting our successes and challenges in sustainability over the last year. Some of our highlights include:
Reducing our internal paper usage by 19% percent and increasing our number of customers using e-billing from 25% to 35%.
Printing all Rogers Publishing magazines on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper.
Diverting 2557 tonnes of office waste and 375 tonnes of telecom and IT-related products from landfills, an 11% and 57% increase, respectively, from 2010.
Providing more than $71 million in cash and in-kind support to registered charities and non-profits. This includes the 2011 launch of Rogers Youth Fund, our new corporate giving strategy focused on empowering at-risk youth through education.
Best-in-class employee engagement scores, achieved through excellent employee communication tools and feedback channels, a national wellness program and having an inclusive culture.
Our new problem resolution tools and process to better address customers’ issues and biggest pain points. Rogers is also the only telecommunications company in Canada to have an in-house Ombudsman.
Our customers can take part too – by registering for e-billing, or donating your used handset to our Phones for Food program, you can help us reduce waste and minimize our impact on the environment.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
