HUMOR. L’Éveil, a community resource in mental health, swapped sneakers for laughter as part of its annual fundraiser. Its leaders can say mission accomplished since 350 people attended its first comedy evening, held last Friday (August 25), at La Frontalière secondary school.

In turn, Rachelle Elie, Yannick De Martino, youtuber Andy St-Louis, Stéphane Fallu and Réal Béland pushed their best jokes on the public square stage.

“In my opinion, it was a resounding success,” says the organization’s executive director, Stéphanie Vachon. We are very happy. It was a nice evening. The public was there and the artists gave their all. »

According to the first report, a sum close to $10,000 was raised during the event. “The money will be used to maintain our service offer during the summer. We also want to improve our component for 12-18 year olds. It’s something we’ve been doing for two years now. We want to have it for the very long term and for it to be an integral part of our mission,” underlines Ms. Vachon. She also points out that the services of L’Éveil are increasingly in demand. There was a 40% increase over last year.

Remember that this evening of humor was put forward for the benefit of the event “12 days in June”, a big march where participants traveled throughout the MRC of Coaticook to carry the message of the organization. “We opted for laughter this time,” explains the general manager. We thought people needed to get away from it all, get together and have fun. In addition, laughter helps enormously in terms of mental health. So it’s positive all the way. »

Given the success of the humorous meeting, the leaders of L’Éveil have confirmed the return of the evening of humor for the summer of 2024. All that remains is to know the formula that will be adopted, namely if it will be a mini-gala or even an event with a single headliner.

A Grand Theft Auto fan recently went viral for stepping onto the set of an unrelated TV show and asking where Grand Theft Auto VI is. Doppelpass is the target of this fan, who easily strides onto football discussion shows and demands an update on their favorite game series. For their trouble, fans threw a bottle of water at them before the host showed them the door. This isn’t the first time this has happened on German TV, as the same fan walked into an episode of Schlag den Raab AKA Beat the Star and asked where the match was. The host replied that they hadn’t even beat GTA V yet. We’ve all been waiting a long time for Grand Theft Auto VI, but if these hints are anything to go by, we won’t have to hold our breath for much longer. So, please don’t linger on irrelevant TV shows asking regarding games.

Launched this Monday morning, the new realme GT 5 has already been reaping good results, since the manufacturer confirmed that it sold 30,000 units of the device in just 2 hours of sales.

According to realme, this happened thanks to a promotional action for early birds. For those who registered in advance, the company made the purchase available at the time of launch.

The result is that the entire initial batch made available for this marketing action was sold, as the public was attracted by the smartphone’s powerful specifications.

Featuring Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 24 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage, the realme GT 5 also draws attention for its support for 240W fast charging.

All of this is being offered for just 3,799 yuan. I.e, something around BRL 2,550 in direct conversion and without considering Brazilian taxes.

For now, realme still does not inform when the GT 5 will be launched in India and in other countries such as Brazil, but there is great expectation from the public looking for a flagship smartphone.
