He revealed this to Buzzfeed Canada during an interview at the Montreal premiere of his film on February 28th.

The famous director says he tried to include the swear word in one of the two films to please his admirers in Quebec.

“I was convinced that if I managed to incorporate the word ‘Tabarnak’ into one of the films, the people of Montreal would like it,” says Denis Villeneuve.

He even went so far as to ask actor Josh Brolin, who plays the character Gurney Halleck in both parts of Dune, to incorporate this into his dialogue.

“I asked him to use it once, but it didn’t work,” the director continues. The word is not well received from the mouth of an American. Sorry, I failed.”

The film “Dune: Part II” opened its first weekend in theaters with a bang at the North American box office, grossing $81.5 million.

It is the film that grossed the most in its first weekend in theaters in 2024.

SpaceX will send a new crew to the International Space

SpaceX will send a new crew to the International Space Station

Technology News / By

Three American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut are scheduled to launch from Florida on Sunday evening to the International Space Station (ISS), where they will stay for about six months.

Posted at 3:47 p.m.

share

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying it is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center on Sunday at 10:53 p.m.

The start, originally planned for Saturday, was postponed by 24 hours due to unfavorable weather. If a further postponement is necessary on Sunday, another filming opportunity is planned for Monday evening.

The capsule called “Endeavor,” which is intended to transport the crew and is placed at the top of the rocket, has already been used on four previous missions by Elon Musk.

This time the four passengers are members of Crew-8, the eighth regular rotational mission of the American crew on the ISS, which SpaceX carried out for NASA.

The American Michael Barratt is the only Crew 8 astronaut who has already visited the flying laboratory.

However, it will be the first space flight for the other two Americans, Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps, as well as the Russian cosmonaut Alexandre Grebionkin.

NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos, which jointly operate the ISS, have launched an astronaut exchange program in which each takes turns bringing a crew member from the other country.

This program was maintained despite the war in Ukraine and the ISS is now one of the very few cooperation partners between Washington and Moscow.

The Crew-8 members will join the seven people already on the ISS.

After a handover period of a few days with the four members of Crew-7 – an American, a Dane, a Japanese and a Russian – they return to Earth aboard their own Dragon capsule.

More than 200 scientific experiments must be carried out during the six months that Crew-8 spends in the flying laboratory, which has been permanently inhabited for 23 years.

While the first years of the station's life were devoted to construction, astronauts can now devote more time to science.

“Many of the things we dreamed of long ago are coming true today,” NASA chief Bill Nelson said this week, citing stem cell research as an example.

But the station's age also has a downside: NASA and Roscomos are monitoring a “leak” located at the end of a Russian module whose flow has increased recently, Joel Montalbano, head of the station's ISS program, said this week at NASA.

A hatch is currently permanently closed to isolate the leak from the rest of the station.

Northern Lights These Unusual Destinations to Watch in 2024

Northern Lights: These Unusual Destinations to Watch in 2024

Technology News / By

The Northern Lights are not only visible in the Nordic countries. To observe them, you need a sky free of any light pollution. Discover the surprising destinations where you can observe these luminous phenomena.

In the collective imagination, the Northern Lights only rhyme with the Nordic countries. It's true that this light show is commonly observed in pole-bound destinations such as Greenland, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Sweden. However, these countries are not the only ones that offer incredible views of this stardust. Thanks to the Sun's 11-year cycle of activity, the Northern Lights will be more numerous in 2024 and will be particularly visible in places further from the poles. What are these “fake” travel destinations where we can witness this natural spectacle?

United States, Canada, England… These unlikely countries where you can see the Northern Lights

If you are planning a trip to the American states this year, Idaho, Minnesota, Michigan and Montana are among the surprising destinations where it is not impossible to see the Northern Lights this year.

Churchill, Yellowknife and Yukon, three corners of Canada, also seem to be popular with tourists. Finally, the county of Northumberland in the north of England is also one of the surprising destinations where you can observe these light phenomena in 2024.

Of course, certain criteria must be met, such as a sky without any light pollution and a moon that is not too bright. Of course, the period in which the northern lights appear is also important: it begins between the end of August or September and ends in March or April.

Prediction locations and applications for observing the Northern Lights

Several sites and apps can provide you with important information about your Northern Lights search. The official website of the U.S. government's Space Weather Prediction Center regularly updates the list of places where you can expect to see the most significant aurora borealis, as well as detailed guidance on times and location positioning.

The My Aurora Forecast and Northern Light Aurora Forecast applications are also particularly popular among professionals and aspiring observers for knowing when and where these light phenomena can be observed. Finally, the Kp index – visible via the American Oceanic and Atmospheric Observation Agency (NOAA) – is more commonly used by experts and aims to determine the likelihood of seeing polar auroras by measuring disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field.

Giving a voice to those who find it difficult to speak

Technology News / By

This is the goal of Hadil Mehrez, a master's student at the Shippagan campus of the Université de Moncton. His efforts recently earned him an Award of Excellence at a conference on artificial intelligence in Japan.

“I have always loved helping people,” says the graduate of Tunisia’s National Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology.

She therefore decided on a project in which she would combine her humanistic side with her passion for artificial intelligence.

That's why Ms. Mehrez and her team at the Human-System Interaction Research Laboratory (LARIHS) have been developing a tool since the summer that will enable people with language disorders to be understood.

“We were particularly interested in dysarthria, a disorder of motor origin caused by damage to the nervous system and affecting the muscular control of the speech mechanism,” she explains.

By leveraging advances in artificial intelligence and thanks to a transplanted chip, patients could potentially see an improvement in their voice quality.

“We don’t yet know exactly where this sound transplant will be placed, but it will contain the system that transforms the dysarthric voice so that it becomes clearer and more understandable,” explains the student.

Final testing leaves Hadil Mehrez optimistic about the system she and her colleagues are developing.

“This innovative approach offers exciting prospects for improving communication for people affected by these disorders by combining the powerful capabilities of artificial intelligence neural networks with the complex challenges of human communication.”

Excellence Award at ICAIIC 2024

Ms. Mehrez submitted an article about her research to the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Information and Communication 2024 (or ICAIIC 2024), held February 19-22 in Osaka, Japan.

The article was selected for publication and received an Award of Excellence.

“That's good news. I’m very happy!” says the woman who works from the Shippagan campus.

“It was a source of pride for me, my supervisor Sid Ahmed Selouani and Mounira Chaiani, the PhD student who worked with me, to learn of this evaluation of my article and my project by great researchers and PhD students who are familiar with this Domain.”

Reflecting on her place at the University of Moncton and in New Brunswick, Hadil Mehrez says she has been supported and warmly welcomed in her lab and wants to stay in the province.

“We are almost a family,” is how she sums it up when she talks about her team. Everyone is nice and wants to help. I was able to integrate without any problems.”

In addition to the Université de Moncton, she would also like to highlight the contribution of her team, whom she thanks.

“This is a great opportunity for me and it's just the beginning. I want to do my best, make them even more proud of me, do more projects, submit more articles and win more prizes. I am very motivated and very proud of this result!”

The Amazfit Mat body composition analyzer becomes a new accessory

The Amazfit Mat body composition analyzer becomes a new accessory for smartwatches

Technology News / By

The Amazfit body composition analysis mat appeared on the company's website at the following address: France and Italy. The device is used exclusively with the new balance introduced last year. However, the terms of purchase of the gadget remain unclear.

The Body Composition Analysis Mat is designed to help you track eight health metrics: body fat, muscle, bone mass, BMI, skeletal muscle, water, protein and basal metabolism. The mat uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, which sends pulses through your body via the stainless steel electrodes you stand on. While the Balance watch already captures these measurements, Amazfit suggests that the wearable is limited to the upper body and the mat can take measurements from the lower body, which are combined to improve the accuracy of the results.

The results can be viewed in a “mini” analysis application that gives you an overview of your health status. Amazfit states that it is not a medical device and that it cannot be used to diagnose any pathology. The Amazfit mat for body composition analysis costs €39.90. However, the company states that the product is only available through bundle or marketing activities; No further details are provided about these two options. It is also unclear whether the product, designed for use with the Amazfit Balance smartwatch, will be offered in other markets such as North America.
