Long congé de l’Action de grâce – Intensification des interventions policières sur les routes


Pourquoi mettre sa vie ou celle de sa famille en péril pendant le long congé de l’Action de grâce ?

« Sur la route, adoptons des comportements sécuritaires ».

Tel sera le principal message des policiers de la Sûreté du Québec qui intensifieront leurs interventions du 7 au 10 octobre prochain.

La vitesse, l’utilisation du téléphone cellulaire au volant, le non-port de la ceinture de sécurité et la capacité de conduite affaiblie par l’alcool ou les drogues seront les infractions les plus ciblées. De plus, les policiers porteront une attention particulière à la conduite agressive notamment les dépassements dangereux et suivre de trop près.

Les usagers de la route devront redoubler de prudence compte tenu du fort achalandage sur les routes pendant ce long congé. Les patrouilleurs seront aux aguets et demandent aux conducteurs d’adopter une conduite sécuritaire en respectant les autres usagers de la route et les limites de vitesse.

Les policiers tiendront également des opérations en partenariat avec la Police provinciale de l’Ontario et les services de police des états américains de New York, du Vermont, du Maine et du New Hampshire. Ces opérations nommées « Sécurité routière sans frontières » sont spécifiquement déployées en zones transfrontalières pendant les longs congés communs.

En 2015, durant le long congé de l’Action de grâce, les policiers de la Sûreté du Québec ont émis plus de 6 000 constats d’infraction reliés à la vitesse excessive, à l’absence du port de la ceinture de sécurité et à l’utilisation du téléphone cellulaire au volant. Ce nombre inclut également les arrestations effectuées en lien avec la capacité de conduite affaiblie.

La collaboration de tous les usagers est essentielle afin de rendre les routes plus sécuritaires. La Sûreté du Québec remercie l’ensemble de la population et souhaite à tous un bon congé.

Propos machistes : d’autres excuses de Trump pour apaiser la controverse – ICI.Radio

« Je n’ai jamais dit que j’étais une personne parfaite, ni prétendu être une autre personne que moi-même. J’ai dit et fait des choses que je regrette, et les paroles diffusées dans cette vidéo vieille de plus de dix ans en font partie. Ceux qui me connaissent savent que ces paroles ne reflètent pas qui je suis. Je l’ai dit, j’avais tort et je m’excuse », a déclaré le candidat républicain dans un message vidéo publié sur Facebook.

J’ai dit des choses bêtes, mais il existe une grande différence entre les mots et les actes d’autres gens. Bill Clinton a réellement maltraité des femmes, et Hillary a harcelé, attaqué, humilié et intimidé ses victimes. Nous en parlerons dans les prochains jours.

Donald Trump, en s’excusant

Le Washington Post a mis en ligne vendredi l’enregistrement d’une conversation privée du milliardaire, datant de 2005, au cours de laquelle il décrit en termes crus et dégradants ses techniques de drague.

Dans un entretien avec un animateur d’émission de variétés, enregistré à leur insu dans un autobus avant le tournage d’une émission, il explique notamment les avantages que la célébrité lui apporte dans ses rapports avec les femmes.

Quand on est une vedette, [les femmes] nous laissent faire. On fait tout ce qu’on veut.

Donald Trump, dans la vidéo controversée

De façon très crue, Donald Trump, qui n’était pas encore politicien, ajoute qu’il est capable d’ « attraper par le sexe » ces femmes.

Le magnat raconte également grossièrement comment il a tenté de séduire une femme mariée, alors qu’il venait tout juste d’épouser sa troisième femme, Melania Knauss. « J’ai essayé, mais j’ai échoué, je l’admets. »

Alors que les deux hommes sortent de l’autobus, ils aperçoivent l’actrice Arianne Zucker, et Donald Trump insinue qu’il réussira à la séduire. « Il faut que je prenne des Tic-Tac au cas où je l’embrasserais. Je suis automatiquement attiré par les belles. Je les embrasse tout de suite, comme un aimant. Je les embrasse, je n’attends même pas. »

La vidéo, obtenue d’une source non divulguée, a été diffusée en boucle par les chaînes d’information américaines vendredi.

La présidentielle américaine 2016 - notre section spéciale

« Des blagues de vestiaires »

Peu après la publication de la vidéo, Donald Trump avait présenté ses excuses une première fois.

« C’était des plaisanteries de vestiaire, une conversation privée il y a des années. Bill Clinton m’a dit des choses bien pires sur des terrains de golf, sans comparaison. Je m’excuse auprès de tous ceux qui sont blessés », a-t-il déclaré.

Personne n’a plus de respect pour les femmes que moi.

Donald Trump

La candidate à la présidence pour le Parti démocrate, Hillary Clinton, a aussitôt réagi à ces propos sur son compte Twitter. « C’est horrible. Nous ne pouvons pas permettre à cet homme de devenir président. »

Condamné par les républicains

Le président du Parti républicain, Reince Priebus, a lui aussi condamné les paroles de Donald Trump. « Une femme ne devrait jamais être décrite de cette façon, avec de tels propos. Jamais. »

Paul Ryan, le président républicain de la Chambre des représentants des États-Unis, s’est dit « écoeuré » par les paroles du candidat à la Maison-Blanche. 

Le président du Sénat, Mitch McConnell, a lui aussi qualifié les commentaires de Donald Trump au sujet des femmes de « répugnants ». Il a ajouté que le candidat républicain à la Maison-Blanche devait « présenter ses excuses directement à toutes les femmes et les filles ».

Donald Trump devait participer à un rassemblement républicain samedi dans le Wisconsin, aux côtés de Paul Ryan, mais il a annulé sa présence en soirée. « Mike Pence me représentera demain (samedi) dans le Wisconsin. Je passerai la journée à New York pour préparer le débat », a précisé Donald Trump dans un communiqué.

Reince Priebus a demandé à Donald Trump de changer d’attitude à plusieurs reprises au cours de la campagne, mais a tout de même encouragé les troupes républicaines à se rallier à lui pour défaire la démocrate Hillary Clinton.

À quatre semaines des élections, cette histoire s’ajoute à une longue série d’anecdotes et de témoignages sur le comportement machiste de Donald Trump.

L’homme d’affaires avait notamment qualifié la Vénézuélienne Alicia Machado, devenue Miss Univers, de « Miss Piggy » et avait insulté l’humoriste Rosie O’Donnell.

Hillary Clinton devance Donald Trump de cinq points de pourcentage dans les intentions de vote pour l’élection présidentielle, selon un sondage Reuters-Ipsos publié vendredi.

Des pots cassés à réparer dans les rangs péquistes

Véronique Hivon, qui a dû se retirer de la course à la fin août pour des raisons de santé, a tenu des propos comparables. Grande absente de la soirée et au repos forcée, elle est sortie d’une longue période de silence, peu avant le début de la soirée.

«L’heure sera bientôt à l’union et au rassemblement. Soyons à la hauteur de ce nouveau défi. Il nous reste un pays à bâtir. Ensemble», a-t-elle écrit sur les réseaux sociaux, se gardant de soutenir un candidat en particulier. Elle a profité de l’occasion pour dire qu’elle allait «de mieux en mieux» et qu’elle «devrait être de retour prochainement».

Prenant la parole devant les militants réunis à Lévis, le doyen des députés péquistes, François Gendron, a invité l’ensemble des membres à se ranger derrière le nouveau chef. «Il faut qu’il ait la légitimité. […] Nous devons le démontrer dès ce soir en acceptant le choix démocratique de nos membres», a dit celui qui a été élu sous René Lévesque en 1976, il y a 40 ans.

M. Gendron a rappelé que le PQ avait déjà compté, «à une certaine époque», 300 000 membres. «J’ai dit ça à quelqu’un tout à l’heure, et il ne me croyait pas!» Le PQ en compte actuellement un peu plus de 73 000. «Ils sont trop nombreux, les indépendantistes qui nous ont quittés», a-t-il enchaîné. 

Lettre de ralliement

Autre moyen de démontrer l’unité à venir, les 17 présidents régionaux du PQ de la province ont cosigné une lettre dans laquelle ils s’engagent à travailler avec le prochain chef, quel qu’il soit.

Reste qu’il y aura réellement des pots cassés à réparer. Une source près du clan d’Alexandre Cloutier, qui a milité aux côtés du député de Lac-Saint-Jean lors des courses à la chefferie de 2015 et de 2016, a confié qu’il ne se reconnaissait plus dans le PQ. Les positions de M. Lisée sur l’identité et l’immigration ont notamment fait mal. M. Cloutier a pour sa part insisté sur le fait qu’il «respectait le choix des militants». «Sur les enjeux du vivre-ensemble, j’ai fait connaître mes positions, et les militants ont tranché.»

Film and Media Exchange to Be Presented Oct. 19

SPRINGFIELD — The Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative will present the third annual Western MA Film and Media Exchange on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel. This year’s exchange, titled “How To Tell Your Story Using Video,” is a one-day conference dedicated to helping nonprofits and small businesses de-mystify the video-production process.

“In today’s world, effective videos are key to a company’s ability to tell their story in their digital marketing, branding, and social-media campaigns,” said Diane Pearlman, executive director of the Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative. “Workshops at the exchange will cover a variety of topics, including an explanation of the video-production process, how to write a creative brief (i.e. what’s the message of your video), how to make a video to fit your budget, and how to effectively send your video message into the world.”

Workshops will be led by area filmmakers and video professionals who will share their expertise and answer specific questions from attendees. Local filmmakers will have the opportunity to display their reels and make potential business connections. Attendees will leave with an expanded knowledge of video production as well as access to area resources that can help them create their own videos.

The keynote speaker at this year’s exchange is Michael Hoffman, CEO of See3 Communications, a digital marketing agency for nonprofits based in Chicago. He is a leading authority on online video for nonprofits and a long-time consultant to nonprofit leaders on digital fund-raising, advocacy, and community-engagement strategies. Hoffman founded See3 to bring together his belief in the power of the web and his passion and experience with nonprofit fundraising, advocacy, and education.

Pearlman and Jonathan Barkan, executive producer/director and founder of Communications for Learning, a full-service communications firm in Arlington, Mass., will present a morning session, “Video Production: An Overview.” The workshop will explain all aspects of production (pre-production through post-production) as well as discuss legal issues, insurance, and local resources.

Darcy Fortune and James Garvey of Garvey Communication Associates in Springfield will present a workshop on “Innovative Video Best Practices for Social-media Marketing and Digital Branding.” They will talk about the best way to utilize video in today’s digital marketplace.

A panel featuring local professionals working in the industry will focus on local resources for making videos. Panelists include Tony Dunne, executive director of WGBY’s Connecting Point, P. Al Williams, executive director of Northampton Community Television, and Chris Landry of Landry Communications. The panel will be moderated by Patrick Berry, president of Westfield News Group.

The exchange includes breakfast and lunch, and will culminate with a networking cocktail party.

Golf: The Ultimate Hedge Fund Marketing Tool…But for a Totally Different Reason Than You May Think

arnoldp-image

My partner, Kyle Dunn, nearly convinced Sam Elliott’s agent to have Sam do the voice-over for a hedge fund video we produced. His resonant and recognizable voice was ideal to convey the message of an off-Wall Street, thoughtful and independent-minded manager.

 

Of course, we could have just written a marketing deck that says, “…we are an off-Wall Street, thoughtful and independent-minded manager” or more simply “we are unique thinkers that don’t follow the crowd” – but really, how is that different from a hundred (or even a thousand) other marketing decks?

 

It didn’t happen and we ended up using someone else, but when I mentioned it in conversation to industry colleagues, some of the feedback I received was even more interesting than the idea.

 

The best line was, “it might work for retail but for institutional investors that sounds like an act of desperation…”

 

As if “institutional” equates to emotionless and uninteresting.

 

Several years ago, I attended the SALT conference. It was there in a packed room that Rex Ryan, the luncheon guest, guaranteed a Super Bowl victory for the Jets. Tell me again what makes Rex Ryan “institutional”? Doesn’t really matter…did I mention, though, that the room was packed?

 

We constantly have managers tell us institutional investors are not swayed by marketing because serious people with serious money are above that. “This is about exclusivity…”

 

Hmmm….

 

Arnold Palmer’s recent passing has reminded everyone of his tremendous legacy. One conclusion that can be drawn from that legacy is that when done right, those in the “exclusive class” can also be swayed by marketing (or in this case, advertising).

 

I say this because those are the exact people luxury companies like his clients, Rolex and Cadillac (at least, Cadillac when it was considered a luxury company), target when they spend chunks of money to develop their brands. And it has been the case for a really long time. According to Rolex magazine, Palmer became the company’s first official Golf ambassador back in 1967.

 

Sure, we can argue about regulations around solicitation of Reg D funds and the differences between advertising consumer products to the masses versus selective marketing to institutional investors. I understand that you cannot wear a hedge fund on your wrist – and if you could, you couldn’t do it publicly (unless you are a 506c fund – in which case, you could staple it to your forehead if you wanted).

 

The point is simply this: marketing matters.

 

And before you argue that Rolex is an aberration relative to other products targeting the one percenters, it may be worth noting that Leerjet advertises, Gucci advertises, Tiffany advertises…even Lamborghini advertises. Right – they are consumer companies….and advertising is not allowed for hedge funds.

 

But advertising is just one form of marketing. And big prestigious service firms do it, too. Did you happen to attend the Sullivan Cromwell webinar last month or watch its senior chairman on CNBC earlier this summer?  And speaking of prestigious service firms…any idea what Citi, Morgan Stanley, PwC, MetLife, Morgan Stanley all have in common?  If you guessed that they are all PGA Tour sponsors, you would be correct.

 

These must be some seriously desperate companies!

 

The real question is, what industry doesn’t market aggressively?  One reason hedge fund managers give me for not marketing is that it is simply not something that is done in our space. It is just not a generally accepted approach to raising awareness.

 

But ask yourself…isn’t that the exact reason you should do it?

YouTube Adds Paid Promotion Alert For Viewers

YouTube is giving brands a new way to ensure they are being transparent to viewers about paid content that appears on the video-sharing site.

“We are launching a new, optional video feature that adds visible text on the video for the first few seconds a viewer watches, informing viewers of a paid promotion,” YouTube announced. “Creators can also choose to add this text disclosure to any existing video without losing their view count or other video metrics.”

You can add this text alert to your sponsored videos by selecting the optional “video contains paid promotion” box. And then viewers will see this:

YouTube includes paid promotion

Optional Transparency

The key word here is “optional.” It will ultimately still be up to brands, businesses, and YouTube influencers to be honest and transparent about their collaborations. YouTube advises you to follow your country’s disclosure rules and regulations.

Transparency is important, especially for brands that want to engage in authentic influencer marketing. People want to know whether influencers are recommending a product because they actually like it, or because they’re being paid to endorse it.

Unfortunately, YouTube’s new feature won’t prevent unethical brands from continuing to do their best to prevent disclosures from appearing, on YouTube and other social networks. But in the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is definitely watching closely.

Just a few months ago, the FTC called out Warner Brothers for failing to ensure that top YouTube influencers disclosed when video game reviews were paid for. Those reviews for “Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor” appeared on PewDiePie’s YouTube channel, among others, and racked up 5.5 million views.

How marketers can enhance video marketing efforts | CMO …

Video is increasingly becoming an essential part of every modern marketer’s arsenal. When done the right way, video can engage more senses than text – capturing user attention and delivering your message in a memorable and meaningful way.

Video advertising is no longer just a way to generate awareness. Interactive video platforms like YouTube and Facebook mean that audiences can now convey reactions and comment on videos. The best thing about modern video advertising is that videos can be shared, delivering organic views on top of paid advertising.

In addition, video consumption habits are evolving, with smartphone and tablet representing 46 percent of all online viewing worldwide. Combining this figure with the number of active mobile social users and active internet users in APAC, and social media platforms moving their focus towards video, it is a no-brainer that brands should also turn their focus towards online video advertising.

In order to gain maximum returns from video, marketers have to understand how to make full use of the tools available today.

Video production

The number of video advertising channels has increased, and video formats and styles have to reflect this as well.

A short-sighted and unfortunately common practice is the use of the same video across multiple channels. A better approach would be to cater videos towards specific channels, starting from the production process.

For social media channels such as YouTube and Facebook, it is important to get straight to the point within the first three to five seconds of the video. Users have short attention spans on these platforms and the ‘feed-like’ interface allows them to easily skip unengaging content. Tell your audience why they should continue watching your video and what they can get out of it within the first few seconds.

Another way to capture users’ attention is the use of newer video forms like drone or 360-degree videography. These seldom used but highly effective forms surprise users and provides them with a view they seldom experience in real life.

It is also vital that marketers include a call-to-action alongside online videos, be it beside the video, through retargeting or within the video. This provides a complementary channel that drives clicks to actual outcomes rather than just vanity metrics.

Of course, using the above tips together with historical campaign data provides marketers with a more granular action plan for their video production needs.

Optimizing videos for search engines

Marketers can maximize their video spend by optimizing their videos for search engines. This allows a video to be found or chanced upon sometime after it was made publicly available, extending the video’s organic reach and lifespan.

Include keywords in the video’s title, description and tags. Video titles should be kept within 50 characters, to ensure the full title is displayed.

Marketers should also use transcriptions, to allow search engines to index the video better. Users who watch the video without sound will also understand what the ad is about.

Whenever possible, videos should also be hosted on your company’s website, driving traffic to your own domain and enabling the collection of first-party data.

Video placement

Organizations are increasingly adopting programmatic advertising in APAC, allowing for ads to be shown to the right person at the right time, across multiple devices. This is especially important for the region, due to high mobile usage rates – enhancing storytelling ability across platforms.

Next-generation TV advertising, is also seeing an increase, albeit at a much slower rate. It is important that marketers engage with this channel too, as television remains the largest media format in APAC in terms of ad spend. Markets like Thailand and Indonesia also place television at the forefront of media consumption.

Tracking a user across devices and showing him a different ad along your storyline provides a more interactive and engaging experience. Consumers will get easily bored being shown the same video multiple times – don’t forget to set frequency caps.

Showing different videos or other forms of ads across devices allows marketers to tell a more personalized and detailed story. For example, a top of funnel user should be shown a video ad produced for awareness that explains the benefits of the product. A user who has shown intent to purchase should be shown a video of how the product works, and more importantly, shown banner ads that suggest complementary products.

It is important that marketers are able to perform desktop, mobile and video ad buys alongside other traditional channels, on a single dashboard. This ensures that marketers have a complete view of their advertising spend, and can closely monitor and manage all their advertising efforts easily.

What’s even better is if marketers can request video marketing collaterals through the same platform, allowing for consolidated and streamlined tracking of marketing budgets.

Apples and oranges: Why a TV viewer does not equal an online video view

A year ago, Yahoo became the first company to live stream a regular-season NFL game all around the world. The broadcast netted 15.2 million unique viewers worldwide. With most Sunday NFL games in the U.S. averaging 10 million to 20 million viewers, Yahoo seemed to have hit a TV-sized NFL audience.

Except it didn’t. If you were to measure Yahoo’s live stream the same way TV is measured, the viewership was far smaller: an average of nearly 2.4 million viewers across the 195-minute live stream.

This, in a nutshell, is the biggest difference between how viewership is defined on TV versus the web: Whereas TV looks for the average number of viewers across the entire program, the web prioritizes the cumulative number of people who have watched a video.

Here’s why audiences are calculated differently across TV and web and why that matters as digital publishers and platforms devote more resources toward producing and making money off video:

OK, so Yahoo had 15.2 million viewers but also only 2.4 million viewers. Which is it?
TV ratings are measured by Nielsen, which calculates the live viewership of a particular broadcast based on a metric called “average minute audience.” It’s exactly what it sounds like: the average number of people that watched a TV broadcast during any 60-second portion of that broadcast.

So while 15.2 million people watched Yahoo’s live stream, that metric includes someone who might have caught the first few minutes but did not watch the rest of the game, as well as someone who only caught the tail-end. It’s an aggregate where TV is measuring the average.

Why is this important?
Advertising!

TV networks have to guarantee advertisers that a certain number of viewers are going to watch (or have watched) a certain program. With this Nielsen number, advertisers can feel confident that an ad they bought during the middle of a TV broadcast that averaged 3 million viewers was watched by 3 million people. (There are some flaws here that we’ll address below.)

“[Average minute audience] provides a much more accurate picture of how well a show held the audience’s attention, versus people just stumbling upon it,” said Alan Wolk, TV analyst and consultant at Toad Stool Consultants. “TV networks want to tell advertisers that their programs get a high degree of engagement — no matter where the ad runs, people will watch.”

What about a video view, though?
That’s just a measure of how many times a video played. Facebook counts views at three seconds, Snapchat counts views as soon as they start, and YouTube counts them around 30 seconds. One person can watch the same video five different times — that’s still measured as one unique viewer even if it’s counted as five total views.

Live video’s becoming a big deal on Facebook. Does it provide this “average minute” metric?
No. Facebook offers two live video metrics: peak concurrent viewers (which counts the highest number of viewers a live broadcast received) and a visual graph that shows the number of live viewers at any point during the broadcast. Ostensibly, a Facebook live broadcaster could write the numbers down and calculate the average minute audience, but that’s a lot of work.

Do people care that Facebook doesn’t offer this?
Not at the moment. With Facebook counting views at three seconds, it’s much easier for publishers to boast about the total views their streams get. Once Facebook opens up monetization for live videos — especially if mid-roll video ads are involved — expect advertisers to ask for it. Whether Facebook opens up its platform to more third-party measurement is an entirely different question.

So social platforms are opposed to being measured like TV metric because it makes their audiences look smaller?
Maybe. But not all social platforms are against the metric.

Twitter, for instance, is offering the average minute audience for its live NFL broadcasts. A recent Thursday night game between the Patriots and Texans drew an average minute audience of 327,000 viewers on Twitter. On CBS and NFL Network, the average minute audience was 17.5 million viewers.

Oh wow, that’s small.
Yep, but some advertisers say they appreciate that Twitter and the NFL are offering this stat, which makes it easier for them to make an apples-to-apples comparison.

Media Storm is already talking to clients about putting more money in Twitter live streaming. It’s an “area that we’re comfortable taking a risk in,” said the ad-buying firm’s chief digital officer Charlie Fiordalis. “If there is a publisher who can come out there and establish a new conversation in the OTT space, it’s Twitter. I expect them to put up much bigger numbers because they have something that’s actually social TV.”

You hinted earlier that Nielsen’s measurement has some flaws.
Yes. Nielsen’s measurements are based on “diaries” and “people meters.” It’s estimated that Nielsen has meters in about 20,000 households in the U.S., which are used as a representative sample of the entire U.S. TV population (more than a 118.4 million households, according to Nielsen). Nielsen’s TV ratings also don’t account for viewing in bars, hotels and other places outside of the home. TV viewers can also skip ads if they catch up on programs using the DVR.

“The attitude toward Nielsen ratings is simply: ‘We’ve been working off of this for years and we all agree to it, so let’s not mess with it,’” said Wolk.
