mnl168 online casino Quebec’s health minister has tabled a bill that would force new doctors trained in the province to spend the first five years of their careers working in Quebec’s public health network. Doctors who enter the private sector or move outside the province within that period would face fines up to $200,000 per day. Health Minister Christian Dubé says his bill addresses the rising number doctors who are leaving the public system for the private one. He says training a new doctor costs the government a total of between $435,000 and $790,000, including for residency, adding that doctors have a duty to care for the people who paid for their studies. The province has said the number of doctors working exclusively in the private sector has increased by 70 per cent since 2020, and that the trend is especially notable among new doctors. Members of the opposition parties in the legislature expressed support for the bill, which won’t be studied before the next session begins in January. A spokesperson for Dubé said last month that 400 of the 2,536 doctors who completed their studies between 2015 and 2017 have left Quebec for other jurisdictions. There are currently 2,355 doctors trained in Quebec practicing in Ontario, including 1,675 who attended McGill University.Bruising year

Swiss Olympic snowboarder Sophie Hediger dies in avalanche, aged 26The Bennington Martens split their weekend home slate, defeating the NH Kingz 127-93 on Saturday before losing 111-102 to the Herkimer OG’’s Sunday at Berkshire Community College in American Basketball Association (ABA) play. Dashawn Westbrook stole the show for the Martens in Saturday’s victory, pouring in 49 points. The Bennington guard made his presence felt from the very beginning, sinking a 3-pointer in the opening seconds of the game. It was a sign of things to come, as Westbrook finished with 10 makes from downtown. Jevon Taylor added an 18-point, 12 rebound double-double for Bennington and Jahmr Jordan pitched in with 14 points for the Martens. The OG’s jumped out to a 32-23 lead after the first quarter on Sunday, but Bennington battled back to trim its deficit to four by halftime. Taylor’s play once again played a factor in Bennington’s success, as he finished with 24 points and seven rebounds. Lavon Long also provided some offense for Bennington, scoring 16. The Martens return to action Dec. 7, hitting the road to play the Connecticut Flyeerz.Coming off what was likely a week's worth of intense practices, No. 10 Kansas returns home for a matchup with North Carolina State on Saturday afternoon in Lawrence, Kan. The Jayhawks (7-2) lost back-to-back games versus unranked opponents, the first time in school history that they have done that while ranked No. 1. Now they have to regroup to face the Wolfpack (7-3). Kansas lost its first two games of the season emphatically: 76-63 at Creighton on Dec. 4 and 76-67 at Missouri last Sunday. Coach Bill Self, who has only lost three straight games four times in his 21-year career at Kansas, was pretty succinct about his team's play following the loss to Missouri. "I think it was probably a combination of them being good and us not being good," he said. "I don't know that I could give them 100 percent credit, but that's what happens in sports. When the other team is doing things to hurt you, and you don't attack it well, they guard you the same way. "A lot of times you just roll it straight because of just not being as prepared or ready. I think it was a combination of both. I would err on the side of giving them more credit, because if I just say we sucked, that would take credit from them. We did suck, but it was in large part them." The Jayhawks still have a balanced and experienced attack, led by seniors Hunter Dickinson (15.0 points per game), Zeke Mayo (10.9), Dajuan Harris Jr. (10.7) and KJ Adams Jr. (9.8). Their biggest problem against Missouri was the 22 turnovers. "It's been a crap week for all of us," Self said on his weekly radio show Tuesday. "But hopefully we get an opportunity to bounce back. "I'm not going to make any excuses. If you don't perform the way we didn't perform, there certainly can be some valuable things to learn from that hopefully will give us a chance to win the war and not just the battle." NC State has won back-to-back games, including the ACC opener against Florida State on Dec. 7. In their last game, the Wolfpack handled Coppin State 66-56 on Tuesday. That's not to say NC State coach Kevin Keatts was impressed. "I thought we did a terrible job at the end of shot clocks when they were going to take a bunch of bad shots but we fouled them," Keatts said. "That being said, you can learn a lot from a win instead of a loss. "We compete hard every day, and our energy is always high. With this group, I'm trying to get everyone to be consistent." The Wolfpack has a trio of double-digit scorers, led by Marcus Hill (13.0 ppg). Jayden Taylor adds 12.5 and Dontrez Styles chips in 10.6. Ben Middlebrooks (9.2) and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield (8.7) round out the top five. Huntley-Hatfield (5.6 rebounds per game) and Styles (4.6) also lead a balanced rebounding attack. The Jayhawks have won 12 straight games in the series with North Carolina State. --Field Level Media

By David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The top Democrat on the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee said on Friday that Republicans in Congress were protecting Elon Musk's Chinese investments by scrapping provisions restricting U.S. investments. Representative Rosa DeLauro said in a letter that Musk, CEO of electric car maker Tesla, may have upended the government funding process to remove a provision that would regulate U.S. investments in China given his "extensive investments in China in key sectors and his personal ties with Chinese Communist Party leadership, and calls into question the real reason for Musk’s opposition to the original funding deal." Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Musk posted a number of critical posts about DeLauro on X on Friday including one that said she "needs to be expelled from Congress!" President-elect Donald Trump has named Musk, a billionaire, as co-head of a project to cut government costs. Musk helped lead opposition online to a government funding bill that would have included the Chinese investment restrictions. “Musk’s investments in China and his ties with the Chinese Community Party have only grown over the last few years with Tesla’s Shanghai plant producing about 50 percent of Tesla’s global automobile output," DeLauro wrote. Nearly a quarter of Tesla’s global revenue in 2023 drew from sales of Chinese-made vehicles from the Shanghai factory, DeLauro said, adding that Tesla broke ground on a $200 million factory in China to manufacture large batteries critical to its electric vehicle supply chain. She added that proponents of regulating U.S. investment in China "have advocated for the inclusion of large battery manufacturing in the list of technologies subject to outbound investment screening." In October, the Treasury finalized rules effective Jan. 2 that will limit U.S. investments in artificial intelligence and other technology sectors in China that could threaten U.S. national security. On the House floor, DeLauro vowed to continue fighting for the provisions. "This is something that simply must be done to safeguard our supply chains and our critical capabilities," she said adding Musk had "bullied Republicans into going back on their words." (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Leslie Adler and David Gregorio)With the real estate boom that Mérida is experiencing, vertical developments such as Country Towers and Vía Montejo are marking a new architectural era. However, this verticality represents a significant challenge for the Heroic Fire Department, historically accustomed to responding to incidents in low houses and low-rise buildings. Urban growth in Mérida has not only implied greater population density but also the need for vertical structures that maximize the use of space. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), in the last five years, the number of construction permits for buildings with more than six floors has increased significantly. Although these developments promise modernity and comfort, they also introduce risks that require specialized attention. From high-floor fires to high-rise rescues, firefighters’ work now requires new equipment, advanced training, and infrastructure that keeps pace with urban growth. Insufficient equipment. In Mérida, most fire stations have units designed for low buildings. Currently, there are only a limited number of telescopic ladders capable of reaching heights greater than 10 floors, which is insufficient compared to the pace of development of the city. Specialized training: High-rise rescues or high-rise fire management require training in rope access maneuvers, forced ventilation, and the use of internal water systems such as sprinklers and vertical hoses. These techniques are still areas of improvement for local teams. Response time: Vertical areas of the city, such as Altabrisa or Montebello, tend to have denser traffic, which can delay access to emergency units. Additionally, maneuvering in vertical developments involves coordinating elevators, emergency stairs, and complicated evacuation routes. Complex fires: Modern building construction materials, such as glass and certain plastics, can cause fires that are difficult to control and emit toxic gases that increase the risk to firefighters and residents. According to the Yucatán Civil Protection Coordination, work has been underway for some time to equip the Fire Department with cutting-edge technology. In addition, agreements have been established with private companies to reinforce evacuation and response strategies in new vertical developments. Training workshops on vertical rescue and firefighting in tall buildings have also been initiated, in collaboration with experts from other cities in the country where this problem is common. The Mérida of the future will not only be taller but also more complex. Firefighters, who have always been a symbol of bravery and service, now face the challenge of adapting to this new reality. As they have done historically, with effort and determination, they will seek to be ready to safeguard the lives of the people of Mérida, no matter how tall the buildings they must face.

49ers QB Brock Purdy resumes throwing but status for this week remains unknown

Companies tighten security after a health care CEO’s killing leads to a surge of threatsSANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said linebacker De'Vondre Campbell won't be part of the 49ers moving forward after he refused to enter a game after losing his starting job. Shanahan said the team is still working through the options of how to deal with Campbell, who walked to the locker room in the middle of a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night when he refused to enter the game. “His actions from the game are not something you can do to your team or teammates and still expect to be a part of our team,” Shanahan said Friday. “We're working through the semantics right now, but we'll handle the situation appropriately." Shanahan said Campbell won't be part of the team for the final three weeks. Teams have the ability to suspend players up to four games without pay for conduct detrimental to the team, according to the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Niners also could just waive Campbell outright, which would allow him potentially to be claimed or signed by another team. Campbell signed a $5 million, one-year contract with San Francisco in March. Campbell had started 12 of the first 13 games of the season and played 90% of defensive snaps for the 49ers but was benched Thursday night after Dre Greenlaw came back for his first game since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. When the 49ers wanted to put Campbell in the game in the third quarter because Greenlaw was sidelined with soreness in his Achilles tendon, Campbell refused, something Shanahan said has never happened to him in his time as a head coach or an assistant in the NFL. Shanahan said Friday that he has not gotten any explanation from Campbell on why he didn't play. Campbell then walked off the field with a towel draped over his head and went into the locker room before the end of the game with the Rams that almost ended the 49ers' playoff hopes. Shanahan said he didn't send Campbell to the locker room and didn't know why he left the field. “Once I found out he wasn't playing, I moved on to people we could count on,” he said. Campbell's decision left his teammates angered and bewildered. "He’s a professional,” cornerback Charvarius Ward said after the game. “He’s been playing for a long time. If he didn’t want to play, he shouldn’t have dressed out. He could have told them before the game. So I feel like that was selfish. It definitely hurt the team. Dre went down and we needed a linebacker. ... For him to do that, that’s sucker (stuff) in my opinion. He’s probably going to get cut soon.” Ward is one of several 49ers who has played through injury or personal tragedy during a trying season for San Francisco. Ward’s 1-year-old daughter died on Oct. 28 but he has returned and played the last three games for San Francisco. Tight end George Kittle called Campbell's actions “stupid” and “immature.” “It’s one person making a selfish decision,” Kittle said. “I’ve never been around anybody that’s ever done that and I hope I’m never around anybody who does that again.” The 31-year-old Campbell signed in the offseason with San Francisco after being cut by Green Bay in March. He had been an All-Pro in 2021 for the Packers but his play fell off the last two seasons in Green Bay. That led to Campbell complaining on social media that he was misused by Green Bay. He expressed excitement about being with a new team but he never got back to his All-Pro level. Campbell had a few bright moments in San Francisco this season but struggled frequently with tackling and in coverage. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL
