MONTREAL, July 10, 2024 /CNW/ – Ubisoft is pleased to announce the appointment of Pierre-Jules Tremblay as the managing director of Ubisoft Montréal. He succeeds Christophe Derennes, who now holds the position of managing director for North America. 

Pierre-Jules Tremblay holds an engineering degree from McGill University and a master’s degree in artificial vision. His journey in the gaming industry began in 2004 when he transitioned from founding an AI-focused startup to joining key positions at Quazal Technologies, Behaviour Interactive, and Ubisoft. Over the past 13 years, he has played an integral role in the company, contributing to the introduction of the free-to-play model with the Mighty Quest for Epic Loot (PC) in 2011 and leading the studio’s transition to the games-as-a-service model in 2014. His team has been instrumental in supporting games like Rainbow Six Siege and For Honor.

“Ubisoft Montréal has always held a special place in my heart. Not only is it one of the largest video game studios in the world, but it’s also a pioneer in our industry. We’re the birthplace of some of the most iconic video game brands and a hub for cutting-edge technologies. Leading this studio, which plays a crucial role in Ubisoft’s ecosystem and our industry, is a challenge that I embrace with unwavering enthusiasm and humility. I’d also like to take a moment to express my gratitude to Christophe Derennes for his trust. His leadership has propelled Ubisoft Montréal forward, and I’m honoured to continue this exciting journey with the support of our management team.” – Pierre-Jules Tremblay, managing director, Ubisoft Montréal.

“When I met with Pierre-Jules, I was impressed by his vision for the studio’s growth and future. His passion for the projects we develop here and the people who contribute to them is evident. It was important to me that my successor in this key role at Ubisoft be a trusted leader who can chart a course toward our goals while inspiring and rallying everyone around him. Pierre-Jules embodies these qualities. With his people skills, collaborative approach, and extensive experience at Ubisoft, in our industry, and with new technologies, he’s the ideal person to continue our exciting journey that began back in 1997. I wish him every success in his new role.” – Christophe Derennes, managing director, North America.

Life After Hate Launches HateEraser–A Revolutionary Spray Paint Remover to Eliminate Hate-Based Graffiti

HateEraser removes hate-based graffiti in communities and gives first-time offenders a second chance through judge-mandated service

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, on the International Day for Tolerance and in response to the alarming 600% rise in hate-based graffiti, the Chicago-based nonprofit Life After Hate has launched HateEraser—the first aerosol-gel based formula designed to quickly eradicate hate speech from most surfaces.

Life After Hate is partnering with police stations across the country to distribute HateEraser as part of a new program in which first-time offenders are required to use it during court-mandated community service. This initiative is based on the belief that educating offenders on the damage their actions cause can help prevent them from continuing a life of hate.

“We know that hate-based speech and hate-based graffiti are the first steps to hate-based violence,” remarked Life After Hate Director Pat Riccards. “HateEraser works to change the futures of people motivated by hate and extremist ideologies through education, community service, and helping people alter their path away from a life of continued radical hate.”

The HateEraser formula contains acetone, xylene, and multiple varieties of alcohol and hydrocarbons. “This unique combination of active ingredients,” according to Savannah Technical College Chemistry Professor Ujjvala Bagal, “removes hateful markings as quickly as they were made.”

Street artists do not want to be associated with hate-based graffiti. That’s why they joined in on the HateEraser effort. The cans were designed by street artists from across the country to help inspire change in their communities, with every design telling a different story of acceptance, anti-hate, and empathy. “The hope is that through the HateEraser program, education, action, and strengthening hate crime laws, we can help foster a safe and more accepting community,” said Dina Peck, Chief Creative Officer of The Purpose Group.

“Hate has no place in our art,” Jax, one of the artists on the project, said. “And I’m proud to be a part of something that makes real change in my community.”

Today’s news is the latest glimpse into how Life After Hate has been embracing several innovative solutions for helping individuals disengage from hateful violence and make our communities safer. Last May, the organization unveiled Daily Former Discord, a multi-level public engagement tool. It’s designed to help those currently engaged in violent extremism, those looking to exit such hate groups, and those who have successfully left lives of hate behind reengage in society.

DermRays Black Friday Event Offers Year’s Biggest Savings and Industry Recognition

PLEASANTON, Calif., Nov. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — This Black Friday, DermRays is excited to announce its most significant sale of the year, offering $130 off sitewide from November 16-30th, 2024. With this limited-time discount, customers can experience the brand’s advanced home laser hair removal technology at unbeatable prices. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to invest in smoother, hair-free skin for less.

In recognition of our commitment to quality and innovation, DermRays V6S model was recently ranked second among the top ten at-home laser hair removal devices globally by Harper’s Bazaar. In their article, “The 10 Best At-Home Laser Hair Removal Devices, According to the Pros“, DermRays stood out as a trusted leader, celebrated for delivering professional-grade results in a convenient, at-home device. For more details, you can explore the full article from Harper’s Bazaar.

It’s essential to clarify the long-term goals of laser hair removal. Technically, it is a process of “laser hair reduction” rather than complete “removal,” as some hair regrowth is normal over time. Even with consistent treatments, new hair from dormant follicles may appear after one to three years. At-home laser devices offer a manageable, convenient skincare routine, giving lasting, visible results in a way that’s easier, faster, and more affordable than traditional methods like waxing or shaving. DermRays aims to set realistic expectations and empower customers with effective, salon-quality solutions at home.

Join us this Black Friday to experience DermRays’ transformative technology at our lowest prices ever, and enjoy smoother, more radiant skin.
