Pisces Daily Horoscope Today, Dec 30, 2024 predicts new responsibilities

Article content Quebec’s French language watchdog has reversed course, quietly updating on its website the official list of all the health and social services institutions in the province that have bilingual status. In fact, the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) is publicizing a list that increases the number of bilingual hospitals and other facilities that were founded by the anglophone community, rising from just a dozen to 69. What’s more, the OQLF is publicizing on a separate list of “ethnocultural institutions” the right of patients to be treated in Chinese at Hôpital chinois de Montréal, in Italian at Santa Cabrini Hospital and the CHSLD Dante nursing home, as well as in Polish at the CHSLD Polonais Marie-Curie Sklodowska. “ We are pleased to see some clarification brought to what was a confusing situation in terms of who could access what services in which language within Quebec’s health and social services network,” Sylvia Martin-Laforge, director-general of the Quebec Community Groups Network (QCGN), declared in a statement on Tuesday. “It is unfortunate that it took some significant effort to persuade the government to sort out what was a needlessly confusing and complicated situation. We welcome any measure of greater clarity and simplicity when it comes to the provision of services many people only have need of in stressful situations.” The OQLF made the changes following the Coalition Avenir Québec government’s decision in September to drop a highly controversial requirement of an English eligibility certificate for “historic anglophones” to seek and receive health care in their mother tongue. The Health Ministry, at the request of French Language Minister Jean-François Roberge, had initially included the eligibility certificate in a language directive last July, but ultimately left it out of a revised set of rules in September after an outcry by anglo leaders and a series of reports in The Gazette. In one of those articles, The Gazette reported that the OQLF had not fully disclosed publicly the bilingual status of all of Quebec’s health and social services institutions, and that this lack of disclosure was an apparent violation of the Charter of the French Language. Under Article 29.1 of the charter, the Quebec government granted bilingual status to a number of municipalities, school boards and health and social services institutions. The anglophone community had fought hard for Article 29.1, and for the requirement in the language charter that the OQLF publicize the list of such bilingual institutions. But following a reform of the health-care system in 2015 that created regional authorities, the list of such institutions dropped from 39 to 12. However, the original 39 had never relinquished their bilingual status. In contrast, the updated lists now include 69 health and social services institutions of “expression anglaise,” including Jeffrey Hale-Saint Bridgid’s Hospital in Quebec City, St. Mary’s and Jewish General hospitals in Côte-des-Neiges, the Douglas Mental Health University Institute in Verdun, the McGill University Health Centre in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and the Lakeshore General Hospital in Pointe-Claire. The names of bilingual CLSC clinics and long-term care centres are also listed in Laval, the Eastern Townships, the Laurentians, the Côte Nord, Outaouais and the Montérégie. Montreal lawyer Eric Maldoff , chair of the Coalition for Quality Health and Social Services, gave as his preliminary reaction the following comment: “Oh, good. That is somewhat of an improvement. At least they are mentioning the facilities. The last time around they didn’t mention many.” Previously, the OQLF featured a drop menu on its website for users who could click on three categories: municipalities, school boards and health institutions. That drop menu has since been eliminated, and the OQLF has published the full list of bilingual municipalities, of which there are 91 across the province; and below that list, the names of 10 bilingual school boards. Above those two lists are two hyperlinks that take the user to another web page, Quebec.ca, showing the English and ethnocultural health institutions. Maldoff suggested that the OQLF publish the full list of such institutions on its web page rather than linking to Quebec.ca. Nicolas Trudel, director of communications at the OQLF, confirmed the changes on its website to The Gazette. “As the lists were already available on Quebec.ca, it was decided to redirect them from the OQLF website,” Trudel said in an email. “These lists, updated by the (health ministry), contain not only recognized establishments that are responsible for compliance (such as CISSSs and CIUSSSs administrative authorities), but also entities that benefit from recognition status within other establishments (for example, Barrie Memorial Hospital, within the CISSS de la Montérégie-Ouest).” The apparent rapprochement of the OQLF toward the anglophone and allophone communities followed a protest last summer by Italian seniors in front of Santa Cabrini Hospital, just days after a “francization adviser” from the agency inspected the operating rooms to ensure the signage on the medical equipment conformed to Bill 96, the CAQ government’s overhaul of the language charter. aderfel@postmedia.com twitter.com/Aaron_Derfel

Maverick McNealy birdies the last hole at Sea Island to finally become PGA Tour winner

The village is home to a plethora of independent businesses and is loved by those who live there Merseyside is home to countless villages steeped in history, but few offer as much unique character as Churchtown. The village, which is historically within the confined of Lancashire and is home to red rose stickers showing the historic pride of Lancashire DNA running through the area. Found in north Southport , the village is quaint with a romantic blend of past and present. Despite it clearly being in the 21st century, you could easily be mistaken for thinking you had time travelled as you look around at the thatched roofs and 150-year-old stockings. Adjacent to the wall of St Cuthbert's Church nestled in the corner of the village, stocks dating from 1741 can be found behind a padlocked gate. Written on a plaque that had been gifted to the people of Churchtown by North Meols Civic Society, it explains the stocks were last used on June 3 1861 when John Rimmer was sentenced to six hours for drunkenness. Nowadays, it's a clear representation of history we shouldn't forget in a hurry, preserved for residents in 2024 to learn, marvel and wonder about the history of their village. Speaking about type of shops and businesses in the area, Jill Skelton of Vintage Home told LancsLive last month : "It's nice, there's lots of independent shops and it's sort of kept it's charm really, from what it used to be. It's not like a high street really, there's not big chains." Vintage Homes has been a resident on Botanic Road in Churchtown for the last three years and has made itself at home. Selling antiques and vintage items, the shop has made a name for itself in the area. The village is home to two 18th century listed pubs, the Hesketh Arms and the Bold Arms, with the former recently undergoing £600,000 renovation in a sign of the how successful the tightknit area is. The character of the village is not only cherished by those who live in the area but also protected. Its history is closely connected to the church as well Meols Hall and is believed to the one of the twelve resting places of St Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, whose remains were removed in the ninth century by monks fleeing the Danish invasion. Meols Hall also dates back to 1200s. Now used as a wedding and events venue, the estate has passed through generations of the Hesketh family and overseas many of the thatched cottages in the village. But in a bid to protect the historic charm that Churchtown brings to Southport, a conservation order was introduced in November 1973 before being extended in May 2009 by Sefton Council meaning there are special planning procedures in place to limit unnecessary changes in the area. Adding thoughts about the village itself and businesses nearby, Jill said: "It suits all the quaint shops and things like that. There's a little handmade chocolate shop and a deli and little gift shops, things like that. You do notice tourists here, they tend to go through the Botanic Gardens and through the village." Another key part of the area is Botanic Gardens, an expansive green space used by people across Southport and surrounding locations. The gardens opened in the 1870s, with the Victorian gardens being home to colourful floral displays. Home to a winding lake with a variety of routes to walk, it is ever popular with people living locally. But before getting to the gardens, you have the joy of walking past the variety, and at times slightly odd, businesses on Botanic Road. One of these is Penny's House, a dog café run by canine enthusiast Ceri Burns. Inside the café, Ceri offers a menu curated especially for dogs, as well as one for humans too. The independent business opened in April under the name, but had been a dog café for seven years prior. Named after Ceri's dog Penny, the pet lover offers parties in their function room upstairs, as well as plenty of place for the dogs to relax, unwind and enjoy a well-earned treat or two. "It's a normal café, but we serve dogs just like humans," Ceri explains with a huge satisfactory smile on her face. Charlotte Ashton works in the café too and is a local of Churchtown. "It's a nice little community village around here," she explained. Another thriving business which has made itself at home in the village is Remedy. The booming cafe is regulalry full and is adored by people in Southport as the local chain has made its mark on the town. Susannah Porter, who quit her job to start the venture when she was 25, told the ECHO in 2022: "I ended up working in marketing and then education but I always felt as though I would get to this point at some point. When I was 45 I left education and opened up a business. It was a massive leap of faith." She added: "You're worried you might regret it or that you're making a mistake but I have never regretted it. I love working in hospitality, it's my passion really. I should have always done it." The village is booming and looks to have an extensive future ahead of it, as well as behind it.CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ten yards into a scramble, Patrick Mahomes could have easily slid for a first down or simply ducked out of bounds and moved on to the next play. Instead, the three-time Super Bowl MVP cut back inside and raced another 23 yards up the field, helping to set up Spencer Schrader's 31-yard field goal as time expired as the Chiefs held on to beat the Carolina Panthers 30-27 on Sunday. “At that point, yards are more important than getting out of bounds,” Mahomes said. “With three timeouts, I just tried to just cut through and Justin Watson had a great block and was able to get down the field and get out of bounds.” The game-winning drive was the 21st of Mahomes' career, and the Chiefs won a game decided in the final seconds for the fifth time this season. Eight of the Chiefs' wins have come by one-score margins. “You always want to have some blowouts and be a little calmer in the fourth quarter, but I've always said it could be a good thing when you get to the playoffs later in the season knowing that you have been in those moments before, and knowing how to attack it play by play not making it too big of a moment,” Mahomes said. Then he smiled and said: “But I would say this more than anybody, I would love to win a game not by the very last play.” Mahomes completed 27 of 37 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns in his first game at Bank of America Stadium and ran for 60 yards — including 33 on that last-minute play — as the Chiefs (10-1) scored on six of their eight possessions. Noah Gray caught four passes for 66 yards and scored two touchdowns for the second straight week, and DeAndre Hopkins also found the end zone for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Kareem Hunt ran for 68 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 19 yards. Bryce Young played well for Carolina (3-8), finishing 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown while leading the Panthers back from an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game on Chuba Hubbard's 1-yard touchdown run and 2-point conversion with 1:46 remaining. Panthers coach Dave Canales, who benched Young earlier this season for veteran Andy Dalton, said last year's No. 1 overall draft pick “absolutely” will remain the team's starting QB next week. That's a break from Canales' recent pattern of waiting a few days to name a starter. “Bryce is certainly making the most of his opportunities,” Canales said. “And he is making a statement to all of us. Showing us he can make plays in critical areas. He did a great job extending today.” Said Young: “For me, I just want to focus on what I can control. Regardless, I always have the same mindset and preparation, wanting to be better throughout the week. I am definitely grateful for confidence.” Still, there is room for improvement. The Panthers moved the ball well but struggled in the red zone, resulting in field goals of 30, 32, 29 and 33 yards for Eddy Pineiro, the most accurate kicker in NFL history. The Chiefs wasted no time setting the tone as Samaje Perine returned the opening kickoff 56 yards and Mahomes found Gray for a 35-yard touchdown strike on the third play of scrimmage for a 7-0 lead. Gray went nine games without a TD catch before hauling in two last week against Buffalo. His 11-yard score late in the second quarter gave him two more against the Panthers . Chiefs coach Andy Reid praised Mahomes' poise but said he was concerned about his team's nine penalties for 90 yards. Moving on up Kansas City's Travis Kelce had six catches for 62 yards and moved into third place in career yards receiving by a tight end. He ranks behind only Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. However, Kelce failed to find the end zone for the ninth time in 11 games this season. Brooks' debut Running back Jonathan Brooks made his NFL debut for Carolina, but the second-round pick was limited to 7 yards on two carries. Injuries Panthers: Rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders was taken to a hospital, where he was evaluated for a neck injury and released . He landed awkwardly on his head after making a catch near the end of the second quarter. Up next Chiefs: Host Las Vegas on Friday. Panthers: Host Tampa Bay next Sunday.

Mumbai, Dec 24, 2025- Anti-graft activist Anjali Damania claimed on Tuesday that she had predicted way out in February (2024) that the MahaYuti ally Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)’s prominent OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal would veer towards the Bharatiya Janata Party. “I had said that Bhujbal would join the BJP, not today, but in February this year...” Damania told media persons as political speculation heated up on the sulking OBC leader’s next strategy after he was not included in the state cabinet last week. Damania said that all this was pre-planned as now they have staged a political drama by denying him (Bhujbal) a cabinet berth, then they pretended to be upset as both Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and state NCP President Sunil Tatkare did not meet him, and then he snubbed them by calling on Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday (December 23). “It was delayed... because I had tweeted about the likely developments 11 months ago... But now Bhujbal is likely to join the BJP as the latter will get a strong OBC face in the party,” contended Damania. “Bhujbal on the path to BJP? Will the BJP, which once filed a public interest litigation against Bhujbal’s corruption, make him a big OBC leader? Will it make such corrupt people big, for politics? Where will this sin be paid for?” said Damania’s tweet of February 1. Political circles are agog with speculation on Bhujbal’s next political move in the wake of the recent developments, particularly after the party denied him a cabinet berth and his meeting with Fadnavis that raised eyebrows as the BJP is eager to have a big OBC leader in its fold. However, Bhujbal — who is preparing for a vacation with his family — has been critical of the NCP, taking potshots at its top leaders, how all decisions are taken by Ajit Pawar, Tatkare and Praful Patel without consulting anybody, but steadfastly refused to indicate if he plans to switch sides with the BJP. It has attracted comments from the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) with Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Leader of Opposition in Council Ambadas Danve studying Bhujbal’s political moves closely. “First, Bhujbal was angry with Ajit Pawar, then he met Fadnavis, but Ajit Pawar or Tatkare didn’t meet him. So what can anyone read from all this...?” wondered Danve, interacting with media persons. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader pointed out how earlier it was being said that Fadnavis was behind Bhujbal’s recent protests, “which, as per recent developments, may be true”. Danve said that Bhujbal may have more aces up his sleeve, since “such decisions cannot be taken in a single day”, and the air would clear up in the next few days. Bhujbal, who had skipped the Legislature Session in Nagpur, had dropped hints claiming that a few days back, Fadnavis had assured to look into the question of OBC representation in his cabinet, soon afterwards, the two met on Monday, sending alarms in the NCP circles. Sounding confident, Bhujbal said he had informed the CM how the OBCs are irked, and who understood the entire issue, and said he would consider it, probably after 10 days or so.(Agency)Azincourt Energy (CVE:AAZ) Shares Up 50% – Time to Buy?
