Once Again, Suburban Women Seen As Key Demo For Ohio Primary
By Karen Kasler • Mar 16, 2020
A stack of Ohio's newest "I Voted" stickers sit in a basket at the Franklin County Board of Elections office in Columbus.
Though coronavirus concerns have shut down a lot of activity in Ohio, Tuesday's primary is still on. And surburban women are expected to play a key role in what happens.
While Ohio has been considered a key swing state in previous years, there are signs that national Democrats won't be spending as much time and money here as they have in the past. Republicans have won big in Ohio the last few election cycles. But Ohio Democrats here say they're not giving up, and that one critical demographic will move the state back to blue – suburban women.
Erin Rosiello is a longtime Democrat from Republican Warren County, north of Cincinnati, but decided in 2016 to vote for Donald Trump.
"There was a period of my life where I was more in step with what I perceived to be Republican values," Rosiello said. "And I felt like the fiscal responsibility was important, free market capitalism was a good thing. There were many things that I felt like were in alignment. And ultimately in 2016, I felt like we needed a good change."
She wasn't the only one. Exit polls showed suburban voters slightly preferred Trump over Hillary Clinton, and white women did too, by a bigger margin.
Not far from Rosiello geographically but far away politically that year is Andrea Granieri, a lifelong Republican in very red Anderson Township east of Cincinnati. She said she was casually observing the 2016 elections, thinking Trump wouldn't become her party's nominee.
"So just, you know, no sense of panic whatsoever. Just continued on. You know, it's my typical, living in my little bubble life and then he got the Republican nomination. And so that was the first time in that election, that presidential election, that I did not vote for a Republican," Granieri said.
But 2.8 million Ohioans did, and Trump won Ohio by 8 points.
Political scientists say that may not be the case this year, based on what they saw in 2018. Paul Beck, a professor emeritus of political science at Ohio State University, said there was a blue wave in Ohio in that midterm election, but said it wasn't obvious because of what he calls Republican gerrymandering of Congressional districts.
"Democrats were up pretty much across the board in running for Congress in 2018. And I would expect that same surge coming out of the suburbs – particularly women," Beck said.
In 2018, Democrats picked up six seats in the Ohio House, flipping GOP districts for the first time in eight years. But they also lost a seat in the House. The parties kept the status quo in the Senate, with each party winning and losing a seat.
Democrats say they're pulling in big numbers of party switchers, especially suburban Republican women who they say are particularly upset with Trump.
But Republicans say they're not concerned. Evan Machan with the Ohio Republican Party said, "We see party switchers on both sides of the aisle. Enthusiasm for the president is overwhelming, and we encourage any and all Democrats who feel disenfranchised by the new socialist Democrat party to embrace conservative, Republican values. We are truly the big tent party."
But Granieri says she won't be back. She's gotten involved in local politics and now calls herself a Democrat.
"I think having children starts to change the urgency with which you see the political landscape as well," Granieri said. "And so I think that helps kind of fast track my thinking, because instead of just thinking about yourself, you're thinking about, OK, how is the world going to be left in 20, 30, 50 years? And it just kind of shifts your perspective."
And Rosiello has taken it a step further. After facing some personal and financial crises, including stage 4 lung cancer, she's decided to run as a Democrat in her very Republican Ohio House district. She knows it's a long shot.
"I am absolutely OK with that," Rosiello said. "And I think that this unfortunate series of events has put me in a position where I am extremely passionate about getting the word out and talking to people, listening to people, and I'm willing to fight that uphill battle."
The last early voting numbers before election day show 53 percent of ballots that have been returned by mail or cast in person are Democratic, 42 percent Republican. There are still three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for president, and while Trump does have opposition in Bill Weld, he's unopposed as a Republican on the Ohio ballot.

Coronavirus Concerns Forcing Changes For Next Week's Primary

What Ohio's Major Candidates For Governor Are Doing To Attract Women Voters
By Jo Ingles • Oct 18, 2018
Since President Trump took office, thousands of Ohio women have taken to the White House and the Statehouse, advocating for abortion rights and equal pay and lambasting what they see as misogyny in government policies and saying they'll "remember in November". The Statehouse News Bureau breaks down what the two major party candidates are doing to win women's votes.
Ohio Democratic Party Chair Thinks Cross Over Voters Will Vote With Democrats In November
By Jo Ingles • Mar 16, 2016
Jo Ingles
The head of Ohio's Democratic Party says he believes the number of Ohioans who will now be affiliated with the party will shrink because some crossed over to vote a Republican ticket to participate in the GOP's presidential primary. But David Pepper doesn't think that crossover vote will hurt Democrats in the long run.

Ԝhat are these employees goіng to do once they depart their work? Thе United kingdom has its Fred Goodwins and the Unitеd states its AIG executives Ƅut we hear this 24/7. Just be guarded on thе feasible effects it can give you.


Mice are obsessive groomers, so chances are you won't have to bathe them often -- or maybe at all. In addition, mice can be afraid of water, so putting yours into a tub can cause some serious stress. Mousy too dirty? A good option is to try a sponge bath.
Grab a small hand towel or a soft thick cloth. Dip it in warm water and then wring it enough so that it is not dripping. You can add a tiny amount -- as in just a few drops -- of puppy shampoo to the water. If you do this, you will need a second bucket of warm water and a second rag to rinse your mouse.
Rub your mouse gently with the wet cloth. Make sure there is no water dripping on his nose or eyes. If you used some shampoo, immediately rub with the second, water-only cloth.
Use a dry cloth to help dry your mouse. Don't use a hair dryer, as the noise can be quite traumatizing for his little ears. Rub gently until the hair is as dry as possible.
⚠ Mice have a naturally light nice odor. If your mouse has a strong smell on his skin or appears to be suddenly dirty and in need of a bath, talk to your vet. This could be a sign of an underlying health issue.

(HALIFAX, November 2, 2015): Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) announced today that the 2017 and 2018 Men's Basketball Championships have been awarded to the innovative joint bid between Dalhousie, Acadia and Sports & Entertainment Atlantic (S|E|A). Halifax basketball fans will have the opportunity to once again see Canada's top University basketball teams compete for the title of CIS Champions at the Scotiabank Centre in March 2017 and March 2018.
"Dalhousie is thrilled that our joint-bid to bring the CIS Final Eight back to Halifax was successful," said Tim Maloney, Dalhousie's Director of Athletics. "This event will have a remarkable impact on our campus and community. Fans will be treated to some of the best basketball Canada has to offer. Being entrusted with such a prestigious event is an incredible honour and a responsibility we take very seriously."
In partnership with Sports & Entertainment Atlantic, the two Universities will be bringing the annual CIS Championship event back to Halifax where it has experienced decades of strong local support and unparalleled success.
"We are honored to have earned the opportunity to continue, with the help of our partners, the 'Final 8' legacy created by the AUS and the dedicated volunteers who built this event into the successful institution it was here in Halifax," stated Derek Martin, President of Sports & Entertainment Atlantic. "With our hosting of the CIS University Cup Men's Hockey Championships again this March, S|E|A remains committed to elevating the university sport brand in our marketplace."
"Being chosen to host the 2017 and 2018 CIS Men's Basketball Championships with our partners at Dalhousie is a tremendous honour," said Ray Ivany, President and Vice-Chancellor of Acadia. "Both Acadia and Dalhousie have significant experience as competitors and champions at the national level and we know what it means to the schools, student-athletes, and their supporters to make it to this tournament. Halifax is a basketball city and Nova Scotia has great basketball programs from one end of the province to the other. We are thrilled to be bringing the best players in our country back to Halifax where some of the greatest games in CIS men's basketball history have been played."
The Dalhousie Tigers, led by head coach Rick Plato, will be the host team for the 2017 championship, while the Acadia Axemen, led by head coach Kevin Duffie, will be the host team for the 2018 championship. Both championships will be played at the Scotiabank Centre in Downtown Halifax, which has hosted countless sporting events such as the 2000 Memorial Cup, 2003 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, 2005 IIHF World Women's Hockey Championship, the 2008 IIHF World Men's Hockey Championship, the 2015 and 2016 CIS University cup, the 2015 World Curling Championships, as well as the CIS Basketball Championship 27 times.
"The Scotiabank Centre is proud to partner with S|E|A, Dalhousie University and Acadia University to bring CIS basketball back to Halifax," said Scott Ferguson, president and CEO of Trade Centre Limited, the Crown corporation that manages the Scotiabank Centre "We have a long history of hosting the CIS Championships and look forward to showcasing our newly renovated facility to basketball fans from across the country."


Eldritch Moon is a transformative set for Magic: The Gathering, and if you've ever enjoyed the game at any time this is the set to really double down on. It's a remarkably fun set of cards to play with, play limited formats with, or augment pre-existing decks with, and it all comes down to some remarkable design and development by Ken Nagle, Sam Stoddard and their respective teams. There's a couple key reasons why this set is so excellent, and I want to drill down into some of the narrative concepts, mechanics and interactions that I have found to be so delightful in this set.
The narrative core of Eldritch Moon is that Emrakul, an Eldrazi titan (think unthinkable Lovecraftian monstrosity), has traveled to the zombie-infested, vampire-ridden, werewolf-having world of Innistrad. Emrakul is, first and foremost, an agent that warps life into her own image. Therefore, many people and creatures on Innistrad have taken on the tentacled visage of Emrakul, and they've taken to bursting out of bodies like the namesake of Alien. Mechanically, this is called "emerge," and it is delightful—you can cast a creature with emerge by sacrificing another creature and reducing the emerging creature's mana cost by that creature's amount. My favorite is probably Wretched Gryff, a horror that bursts forth from Boon Gryff to draw you a card.
Delirium, a mechanic that changes how a card works based on what cards you have in the graveyard, and madness, a mechanic that allows you to cast cards when you discard them, both return from Shadows Over Innistrad. They both fit beautifully within a world that is devolving into the complete chaos of corrupted nature, religious fervor and apocalyptic trauma.
From a narrative perspective, the set tells a simple story. Shadows Over Innistrad showed the planeswalker Sorin Markov coming to terms with many kinds of chickens who returned to roost: his creation Avacyn was driven mad by the influence of his former protégé who he abandoned. He was forced to kill the former, and by the end of Eldritch Moon's plot the latter has trapped Sorin in stone while the summoned Emrakul destroys his entire world. The story of the Gatewatch, the protectors of Zendikar and beyond, has continued here in response to the Emrakul crisis. Liliana, the planeswalker powered by black mana, finally joined the team. With help from another planeswalker, the Gatewatch trapped Emrakul in the moon. It was a wild ride for everyone.
These narrative threads have made for some amazing different cards. Emrakul's warping of the world has created opportunities for evolution. Liliana's summoning of the zombie hordes has enabled a certain Dark Salvation to take place. Beyond the zombies or the werewolves, there is also the brute fact that the Gatewatch needs to be deployed in order to deal with the violent hordes of warped beings. The tightness with which this set has managed to knit together its mechanics and story is basically the apex of the last few years of Magic's narrative design trends, and I cannot wait to see Kaladesh very soon.
I've spent quite a bit of time recently thinking about the scale and time of Magic. It's a game that has gone through so many different forms, modes of storytelling, and ways of creating the game, but it somehow always manages to cohere together. For the popular internet discourse about the game, it seems that lots of sets seem to fade in the background while individual cards get remembered forever. Eldritch Moon has the feeling of a unit, a compact thing, and I hope it ends up being remembered that way. I hope we remember these cards, their interactions, and this story for a while.

PTJ 161 News: Life on Mars
September 30, 2015 J.D. Biersdorfer	Leave a comment
Google's turn! Yes, it's Google's turn for the big fall product announcement event, which the company held this Tuesday in San Francisco. Among the revelations, the LG Nexus 5X (top) and the Huawei Nexus 6P (bottom). Both are in Google's Nexus line and available for online pre-order in in the Google Store. You have to buy the phones from Google and then pick a carrier plan, but the new handsets also work with Google's Project Fi, a wireless experience made up of Wi-Fi networks and partner 4G LTE carriers.
The Nexus name didn't continue onto tablets, however, as Google also announced its new Pixel C device, which looks like a tablet with an optional and magnetically attachable keyboard. The 10.2-inch Google-designed gadget (shown below) has already been compared to Microsoft's Surface tablet.
Google also updated its $35 Chromcast dongle for streaming media this week. The new version of the regular Chromecast has been redesigned into a small, puck-like object with a smaller connector to the back of the TV set that may fit a little better when you have a bunch of other stuff plugged it. As shown here at the top, you can get it in three different colors. If you don't care about video and just want a way to stream the tunes on your mobile devices over Wi-Fi to a pair of big-ass speakers in the house, there's the Chromecast Audio dongle (below). That one's also $35 and available in basic black.
LG Electronics, which makes appliances, television sets and some very nice high-end Android smartphones, is bringing its laptop business here to the States. Like its smartphones, LG's laptop line, called the Gram series, leans to the fancier end of the spectrum, with a MacBook-like Air look with Intel Core processors and HD displays. Prices range from about $900 to $1400.
Public Service Announcement: People, stop posting that status about Facebook charging money to keep your profile's privacy settings! The copyright thing is bogus! It was a hoax three years ago and it's still a hoax today! It does play on fears about privacy, though, which is a sensitive topic for many people. Microsoft published a post on its Windows blog this week that addressed privacy concerns some users have voiced with Windows 10.
Observers noticed the Microsoft offering its own variation of Google's Cardboard viewer called the Microsoft VR Kit for its Lumia phones, at least for participants at a Russian hackathon. In other reality-avoidance news, Re/Code is among those reporting that YouTube is getting ready to launch an ad-free subscription service next month that will also include access to its YouTube MusicKey streams.
Twitter is also moving away from and supplementing its original service model. Reports are circulating that the company is building a new product that would let users post content longer than 140 characters. Twitter itself is not commenting about that or the TV Timelines feature it's been working on since March of this year. However, Twitter is seen to be making a bigger grab for more television show fans as the new fall season rolls out by adding shortcuts to its TV Timelines feature on TV-related tweets.
October is here and along with heartier fall-themed beers, many retail merchants are finally upgrading their credit-card terminals to accept dips from cards with smart chips. Merchants who do not up their security by installing chip-reading credit card terminals could be liable for fraudulent transactions in their stores.
Big news from NASA earlier this week: The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has new findings that provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water is flowing on Mars.
And finally, Mars will be all up in the news this weekend as the new film, The Martian opens around the country. The movie stars Matt Damon and is based on a best-selling novel originally self-published in 2011 by Andy Weir, a software engineer who used apps and diligence to get the science plausible and right within the story. Ridley Scott directed the picture and worked with NASA consultants to make the visuals technically accurate, and the agency highlights nine real and developing NASA technologies used in the film. (Since NASA has been such a big booster of the film, Yahoo News is among those wondering if the agency even timed Monday's Mars announcement just ahead of the film's release on Friday.) But perhaps even more exciting than water on Mars, however, is that Jessica Chastain and Kate Mara are in the film as well — and they get to play actual astronauts instead of astronauts' wives.
Now that's progress.

Japanese Matcha Bamboo Scoop - Ocha & Co.
Handcrafted Japanese Nara Takayama Chashaku using locally sourced bamboo, made for Ocha & Co. by 3rd generation master craftsman Tanimura Yasaburo. These bamboo matcha scoops are made with the same quality Kyoto bamboo as his signed chashaku but at a fraction of the cost. The bamboo from the region is regarded as the best quality in Japan due to the cold snowy winters found in the region. The bamboo is cut in early winter and left to dry naturally before being ready to use. Naturally dried and cured bamboo still has the original colour of the bamboo while lower quality scoops invariably has been chemically bleached to speed up ther process.
I like the length and how it grabs matcha. Used 5 times after I received. Use water to rince but it doesn't leave match stain. Pretty good stuff. I am not sure how long this kind of stick last for but I am hoping to use for long time. It is delivering from Japan so it takes little while to CA.
Had no idea the spoon would be tiny, but its length is perfect for reaching into the matcha bag. Now I just need to practice on how much I can scoop out, which surprisingly is a lot with this little thing.
Natural product with great quality !!
I am satisfied with the quality of this bamboo scoop.

The currency market can be analyzed in two essential ways, the fundamental and technical analysis: The fundamental analysis defines economic indicators that drive the price of currencies around the globe. Some of the data employed by this system includes employment rate, gross domestic product, trade balance, interest rate, etc.
On the other hand, technical analysis bases on historic price data, hence it looks at charts from the eyes of technical indicators that allows investors to identify trades in the market. There exist this long term talk about which of the two is better, but I can attest that knowing a bit of them both is great. Statistics show that more traders opt for technical analysis. This article attempts to try to explain how investors can apply technical analysis and translate its knowledge into money making.
Use few Technical Indicators: You'll notice at this time that the use of various technical indicators on varying trading strategies is most proficient when few indicators are employed in determining trade directions. Plotting different technical indicators on you activity chart can become clumsy and might end up confusing you, making it pretty hard to make a definitive decision and you could as well stand the chance of losing a chunk of your investment.
Leading Indicator: Trading forex technical indicators shows that you'll encounter more of lagging indicators to leading indicators and as such, you might be faced with the problem of dealing with signals that have been triggered after the currency have witnessed the move. They basically lag and as such are not suitable for early trend detection. If you want to use technical indicators that are pretty much fast and reliable, then you should go for leading indicators. Leading indicators are effective in the currency market as they give early signals for entry/exit signals. Examples of leading indicators include MACD, Stochastic, RSI etc. The examples listed eventually are all oscillators.
The more data that you can have access to, the more your chances are in the market towards making informed decision in the marketplace. It has become pretty much easy to manage these huge volumes of statistical data due to the recent development that is seen in the development of currency trading software.
Technical indicators that are finely blended with an appropriate money management technique would yield consistent profits. At all times you should start on a demo account, especially if you're a newbie.


A friend thinks it's an important implication of mechanist atheism (rightly construed) that we should not go looking for moral explanations in the supernatural. I kinda thought that was a bit "duh" to write. We shouldn't look for *any* explanations in the supernatural.
That last sentence there is a special case of a more general thing, namely that religious people and scientistic people have this great area of agreement, namely that reason cannot reach beyond math and science. In fact, beyond mathematical proof or scientific prediction, most of them would say.

ABSTRACT (second language):
PRACA POGLĄDOWA
2 National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine
3 Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs, Kharkiv, Ukraine
Introduction: Nowadays there is the transformation of the national health care system in Ukraine, the ultimate goal of which is to create a modern, competitive model of medical care of citizens on the basis of forming packages of free medical services. However, the model adopted by Ukraine is in contradiction with national legislation in part of free medical aid guaranteed by the Art. 49 of the Constitution of Ukraine, and fragmentary considers positive international practices.
The aim of the paper is to determine the mistakes of the reform of the Ukrainian health care system and to reveal the positive international practices of the organization of health care systems that can be implemented in Ukraine.
Materials and methods: National and international legislation, official web resources of the executive authorities of Ukraine, statistics of the World Health Organization, materials of journalistic and scientific periodicals are the materials for the research of the health care system in Ukraine in comparison with international practices. Research methods are cross-sectoral, complex statistical, comparative, generalization, analysis and synthesis. In order to obtain the results, the authors have conducted a critical analysis of the current norms of the national Ukrainian legislation in the health care sector.
Review: The authors of the article have studied the main disadvantages of the national health care system in accordance with the concept of reforming the medical sector. Positive international practices that can be implemented into Ukrainian system for the real improvement of medical human rights in Ukraine have been revealed.
Conclusions: It has been proved that the ongoing reform of the health care system in Ukraine needs to be reviewed and optimized. It has been offered to consolidate a perspective model of the Ukrainian health care system, its principles and guarantees of immunity at the legislative level.
KEY WORDS: health care system, the right to health care, reforming, health care principles, implementation, guarantees of immunity
Wiad Lek 2019, 72, 4, 685-691
The health care system serves as a platform for the actual realization of medical rights by citizens in any state. Efficiently functioning health care system is the basis for successful economic development, high defense capacity of the state, welfare of the population. The health care reform has long been discussed in Ukraine however, the actual implementation of the changes has been constantly postponed due to the comprehensive and complex nature of the problems in the medical sphere. The first real steps took place only in August 2014, as a result of the deployment of the health care reform in Ukraine.
The urgency of this issue is due to the fact that the reform of the health care system initiated in 2015in Ukraine, is accompanied by numerous shortcomings. Supporters of the reform argue in its favor, while opponents have the contrary arguments and data. The truth is that the reform of the health care system in Ukraine is overt and necessary. At the same time, the effectiveness of the reform can be clarified only after its completion, since individual or intermediate results do not give an idea of positive changes in general. The speculative nature of the issue of determining the effectiveness of the health care reform in Ukraine does not allow for objective statistical data from national sociological services. Their indicators are always optimisticly high and backed up by visual means in the form of pilot projects, concepts and schedules. However, today there are such indisputable facts as: failure of vaccination procedures, ineffective medical care in the countryside, the lack of a truly functioning "E-Health" system, problems with the procurement of a number of medical products, etc.
According to the expansive ranking of the countries of the level of medical care for 2019 (Health Care Index for Country) provided by the Numbeo, Ukraine is ranked 77 with the indicator 50.95 among 76 states. For example, Japan is ranked 3rd with 80.40 points, Finland – 17th with 73.49 points [1]. It should be noted that this rating for 2018 was prepared by Bloomberg on the basis of data from the World Health Organization, the United Nations and the World Bank on the effectiveness of the health care system (The Most Efficient Health Care), Ukraine was not on the list at all because of low life expectancy of the population [2]. For comparison, Japan occupied 7th position with 64.3 points, Finland – 19th with 54.7 points. Also, the ongoing reform of health care system in Ukraine contradicts to the national legislation in part of free of charge medical aid guaranteed by the Art. 49 of the Constitution of Ukraine.
An efficiently organized health care system should ensure the realization of medical rights by citizens in Ukraine, as well as contribute to strengthening the economic potential of the state due to the population's ability to work. Consequently, the current state of the health care reform in Ukraine is characterized by inconsistency and miscalculations, when the forecasts, perspectives and expected results are perceived as real achievements. In order to minimize the negative consequences of such strategic mistakes, it is necessary to consolidate the perspective model of the health care system of Ukraine at the legislative level, to establish its principles and guarantees of inviolability.
The objective of the paper is to determine the shortcomings of the reform of the Ukrainian health care system and to reveal the positive foreign practices of health care organization that can be implemented in Ukraine.
The purpose of the article is to study the perspectives of Ukraine's adoption of positive international practices on the organization of health care systems to improve the legislation in the medical sphere and to clarify the vectors for reforming the health care system in Ukraine.
The materials of the research are the provisions of national and international legislation, official web resources of the executive authorities of Ukraine, statistics of the World Health Organization (hereinafter – WHO), materials of journalistic and scientific periodicals, systematized approaches of supporters and opponents of the reform. The lack of a dominant point of view regarding the reform of the health care system in the Ukrainian society has been established. The methods of the presented research are cross-sectoral, complex statistical, comparative, analysis and synthesis. In order to obtain the results the authors have conducted the analysis of the norms of administrative and medical legislation. Analysis and synthesis allowed to consider the reform of the medical sphere as a complex phenomenon. With the help of the legal analysis method, the legislative provision for ongoing medical reform has been defined. The statistical method has allowed to determine the level of efficiency of the health care system in Ukraine. Comparative and legal method has allowed to reveal the shortcomings of the national legislation within the prism of the studied problem and to develop propositions for their elimination.
Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Basis of the Legislation of Ukraine on Health Care" dated 19 November 1992 No 2801-XII stipulates that the legislation of Ukraine on health care is based on the Constitution of Ukraine and consists of these Fundamentals and other legislative acts adopted in accordance with them, regulating public relations in the field of health care [3].
The Article 1 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Basis of the Legislation of Ukraine on Health Care" dated from November 19, 1992 No. 2801-XII stipulates that the legislation of Ukraine on the health care is based on the Constitution of Ukraine and consists of these Fundamentals and other legislative acts adopted in accordance with them, regulating public relations in the field of health care [3].
At the same time, the Laws of Ukraine "On Increasing the Availability and Quality of Medical Care in Rural Areas" dated from November 14, 2017 No. 2206-VIII, "On State Financial Guarantees of Medical Care of the Population" dated from October 19, 2017 No. 2168-VIII; Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Methodology for Calculation of the Costs of the Medical Services" dated from December 27, 2017 No. 1075, "On the Establishment of the National Health Service of Ukraine" dated from December 27, 2017 No. 1101, "On Approval of the Procedure for the Implementation of State Guarantees for Medical Care of the Population for the Program of Medical Guarantees for Initial Medical Care for 2018" dated from April 25, 2018 No. 407; Decrees of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Concept of Health Care Financing Reform" dated from November 30, 2016 No. 1013-r, "On Approval of the Plan of Measures for the Implementation of the Concept of Health Care Financing Reform for the Period up to 2020" dated from November 15, 2017 No. 821-r. do not comply with the Constitution of Ukraine and the Fundamentals of Ukrainian Health Care Legislation as the Basic Law. Their discrepancy is related, first of all, with the constitutionally guaranteed right to health care, medical care and medical insurance in the aspect of free-of-charge basis for the realization of this right (except for insurance, which is not obligatory).
Numerous problems that accompany the reform remain unresolved even with the adoption of the legal base adopted in support of medical reform in accordance with the medical legislation of Ukraine. Thus, purchase of medicines through international institutions, transparency of reimbursement schemes for medical products, availability of medical care in rural areas, and the protection of personal data of patients in information bases are under the question for reasoning their effectiveness.
Miscalculations in the implementation of medical reform in Ukraine, as well as positive international experience that can contribute to their elimination will be discussed below.
The imperfection of evaluating the effectiveness of the ongoing medical reform in Ukraine is confirmed by the statistics (Health Care Index for Country) from Numbeo. Suggested analysis system is based on the opinion of respondents regarding health care system satisfaction rather than on official statistical materials and is presented in dynamics, depending on the year and place of the state in the ranking: 2018 – 65; 2017 – 74; 2016 – 63; 2015 – 95; 2014 – 75; 2013 – 71; 2012 – 65 [1]. There are fluctuations up to 10 points during a simple analysis both before and after the introduction of medical reform in Ukraine. In general, Ukraine's indicators for the whole reporting period are approaching the lower bound of the ranking, and thus, are unsatisfactory and convincingly testify about ineffectiveness of the system in the whole and the absence of obvious changes for the better.
Regarding the reform itself, the introductory part of the Ordinance of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Approval of the Concept of Health Care's Financing Reform" dated from November 30, 2016 No. 1013-r states that international experience, recommendations of the World Health Organization, as well as research of the specifics of the current model of the health care system of Ukraine indicate that the only way to provide high-quality medical care without financial stress for citizens is to move to financing medicine according to the insurance principle [4]. The approved Concept also stipulates that we offer to implement the model of state joint medical insurance in Ukraine that will take into account the best modern practices and experience of the transformation of health care systems in the world, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe [4]. However, there is a question: whether we can consider the health care model as insurance one and whether it corresponds to advanced international practices. Nowadays, we created an agency that manages health care budget. However, the state medical fund was not created. Therefore, the concentration of financial leverages in the National Health Service of Ukraine (hereinafter – NHSU) will only contribute to corruption risks, where the system of public authority in Ukraine suffers from these risks.
Supporting the reform, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (hereinafter – MHU) observes that various types of payment for medical services are fixed by the Law, which allows the National Health Service of Ukraine to make payments for the full or partial payment of medical services. The MHU emphasizes that the National Health Services of Norway, Canada, Italy and Spain pay for similar models [5]. This position of the MHU is controversial, since each of the above-mentioned states has its own peculiarities in the organization of the health care system, which are united only by the presence of a specially authorized medical agency (agencies) responsible for medical services.
O.V. Bohomolets emphasizes that the MHU has not determined the model of health insurance in Ukraine. Earlier Ukraine's acting Minister of Health, Uliana Suprun in her interview to BBC Ukraine, noted: "We are introducing something more like the British system, where every citizen of Britain has state insurance. They do not have to record anywhere, look for some kind of insurance; it just works automatically with each visit to a physician or a call for ambulance" [6]. However, citizens in Ukraine do not have a conditional "account", which holds funds set aside for treatment. Instead, health expenditures are distributed among institutions, where patients have applied, and the range of medical services that may be received for free or partly depends on the volume of services provided. It deprives a patient of the choice, because while choosing between institutions or specialists, he is not able to choose a more expensive / cheaper drug or hemanalysis, because the state has already decided on this matter.
We should agree with the opinion of V.M. Pashkov that the introduction of state health insurance in Ukraine does not contradict the constitutional prescription for the free of charge medical care within state and communal health care institutions only if the payers of compulsory insurance payments (contributions) are business entities, state funds, etc. The collection of such payments (contributions) from citizens in the system of state health insurance will not be in line with the constitutional provision, as it will be one of the forms of payment for providing them assistance in state and communal health care institutions [7].
However, it should be noted that, first, the Constitution of Ukraine should determine the obligatory nature of state health insurance, its scope and conditions of solidarity. Secondly, the Law of Ukraine "On State Financial Guarantees of Medical Care of the Population" dated from October 19, 2017 No. 2168-VIII should be amended in part of specification of the mechanism of state compulsory health insurance and its components. Thirdly, the Law of Ukraine "On the Basis of the Legislation of Ukraine on Health Care" dated from November 19, 1992 No. 2801-XII, needs to be supplemented with the provisions that take into account the Twelve Principles of the Organization of Health Care for any national health care system, adopted by the 17th World Medical Assembly (New York, USA, October 1963, with edits of the 35th World Medical Assembly, Venice, Italy, October 1983) [8]. None of these principles has been fully taken into account in the Ukrainian health system at the present time.
We believe that the preliminary creation of the legal basis with the consolidation of the latter at the legislative level will minimize speculation in determining the optimal model of health care and make it impossible that regulatory acts, adopted in support of the reform during the transformation of the national health care system in Ukraine, do not comply with the Constitution of Ukraine. At the same time, the guarantees of inviolability of the health care system chosen by Ukraine will be the legislative consolidation of the said propositions.
In order to reform the medical system in Ukraine, it is expedient to borrow the experience of the states that were part of the USSR, and now, thanks to successful reforms integrated into the European Union (hereinafter – the EU) as the actual participants. The experience of such countries is extremely useful in view of the identity of their former health care systems with Ukrainian one. Instead, attempts to imprint leaders in health care ratings on the matters of medical rights of citizens are possible only through individual programs or directions, since the difference in organizational, financial and legal components of health care systems is too great.
The Member States of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (hereinafter – OECD) spend on the average 9% of the gross domestic product (hereinafter – GDP) on the health care sector. According to 2017 data, the United States of America (17.2%), Switzerland (12.4%) and Germany (11.3%) ranked the leader on this indicator. Turkey (4.3%) had the lowest health expenditure indicator in relation to GDP (9.3%). For comparison, about 3.7% of GDP is planned in Ukraine in 2019, which is well below the UN recommended minimum level of 5%. Some politicians emphasized on this inconsistency during the meetings of Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, but traditionally, the health care sphere remained aside from full financing.
Here is a summary of the consolidated budget expenditures for health care in 2016-2019 (see Figure 1) [10]. However, the further reform of the health care system, which mitigates the increase in the quantitative indicators of financial support of the sector, should be provided by the budget funds. Consequently, the desire and perspectives in the medical sphere differ significantly from the real situation.
Let's consider the experience of medical reforms of the former USSR countries that have successfully integrated into the EU.
Latvia. Since 1990, the state has tried both the system of social health insurance (SHI) and the system of National Health Service (NHS) without an alternative possibility of returning to the Soviet system of health care. Uldis Mitenbergsa, Girts Brigis a, Wilm Quentinb in the work «Healthcare financing reform in Latvia: Switching from social health insurance to NHS and back?» note that governments that plan to implement state health insurance do this mainly on the basis of arguments that it will improve the ability to raise health revenues by making health care funding more predictable (irrespective of political interference) and that people will be more willing to contribute their percentage if the right to health care is related to such contributions. However, it is obvious that part of the health care budget can be increased regardless whether health care taxes are paid or not and that the combination of the right to health care and payment of contributions will create access problems for uninsured persons. Governments con-templating the introduction of SHI mostly do so basedon arguments that it would improve the ability of raisingrevenues for health, making healthcare financing more pre-dictable (independent of political interference), and thatpeople would be more willing to contribute if eligibilityfor healthcare services is linked to making contributions. However, it is clear that the healthcare budget couldalso be increased independently of whether income taxis earmarked for health or not, and that linking health-care entitlement to the payment of contributions willcreate access problems for the uninsured [11]. However, the binding of each citizen to the personal account of the state health insurance fund will facilitate the withdrawal of part of the population from the shadow sector of wages.
According to the information from the booklet "State of Health in the EU. Latvia. Country Health Profile 2017", a part of the population of Latvia is dissatisfied with the level of health care provided by the state, although Latvia has the state health care system, the completeness of which is somewhat smaller than in other EU states. As a result, a large proportion of people report about the problems in obtaining assistance mainly because of financial barriers, as well as due to geographic reasons or long terms of waiting for medical care.
Latvia has universal health coverage, although the breadth and depth of coverage is more limited than in most other EU countries. As a result, a large share of people reports problems in obtaining care mainly because of financial barriers, but also because of geographic reasons or long waiting times [12].
Both health care systems have positive and negative aspects. It should be noted that Ukraine has been preparing for the introduction of compulsory state health insurance for a long time, and as a result, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine lobbies borrowing the system of state guarantees for the provision of a complex of medical services (NHS), the volume of which depends on budgetary infusions and the political situation, but not from the participation of each particular citizen in his own health care.
Lithuania. After the restoration of independence in 1989, Lithuania inherited a centralized system that mainly provided ineffective health care management and resources allocation. To correct the situation, restructuring and decentralization were identified as strategies that would enhance the effectiveness of providing health services. Decentralization of the health care system was achieved by segregation of primary health care (family doctors), secondary medical care (specialized physicians) and medical care of the highest level (university clinics of the highest specialization). The development and reform of the primary health care system were considered as the key factor in the reform of the health care system, however experience of other countries demonstrates that decentralization in practice does not necessarily increase the efficiency.
After the restoration of its independence in 1989, Lithuania inherited a centralized system that mainly delivered inefficient health care management and resource allocation. It opted for restructuring and decentralization as strategies that would to increase the efficiency of our health services. Decentralization of the health care system was achieved by segregating primary health care (family physicians), secondary health care (physicians – specialists), and tertiary health care levels (high specialization university clinics). The development and reformation of primary health care was seen as a key factor in the entire health care reform. However, the experience of other countries shows that in practice, decentralization does not necessarily enhance efficiency [13]. At the same time, the maximum effectiveness of the health care system is not achieved in those countries that are most successful within economic potential, but where there is no significant difference between the richest and the poorest (strong middle class). Accordingly, the emphasis on socially vulnerable segments of the population, the balance between decentralization and centralization, between the state and private sectors in the health care sphere, improving governance, and assessing such changes should contribute to solving many medical problems, not only in terms of social ethics, but also in terms of justice [13].
There is a single contractor of medical services in Lithuania – it is the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), which is funded by mandatory income contributions and the central government for the unemployed population. The health insurance system in Lithuania has an effective preventive (anticyclic) mechanism and successfully protects state health expenditures during financial crises. At the same time, Lithuania has one of the highest mortality rates in the EU, indicating that the health care system should improve its effectiveness. Quality indicators provide an ambiguous picture, but both hospitals, and primary health care services improve their activities. Lithuania's exceptionally high level of suicide is noticeable, despite the efforts to reform the mental health system. Improvement of inpatient care and the improvement of the primary level of providing medical services are ongoing.
The NHIF, the single purchaser of personal health services, is funded by compulsory income-related contributions and the central government for the non-working population. The Lithuanian health insurance system has an effective counter-cyclical mechanism in place and was successful in protecting public spending on health at the time of the financial crises. Lithuania has among the highest amenable mortality rates in the EU, indicating that the health care system can improve its effectiveness considerably. Quality indicators provide a mixed picture, but both hospital and primary care services are improving their performance. Lithuania's exceptionally high suicide rate is notable, despite mental health reform efforts. Reforms are ongoing to cluster acute care in centres with larger catchment areas, create networks of hospitals to provide each service in a more limited number of locations and implement volume thresholds to increase both efficiency and quality. The progress in primary care is following several years of reform, with modernised general practitioner and nursing services and a comprehensive reimbursement system incentivising prevention [14].
Ukraine also makes an attempt to strengthen the primary level of providing medical care, but preventive mechanisms for guaranteeing the inviolability of the package of medical services during the period of economic crises, as well as the availability of medical services for the rural population or socially vulnerable groups have not been created.
Estonia. The Estonian Health Insurance Fund (EHIF), founded in 2001, is the sole payer on the market of providing compulsory health insurance. It is the public state institution that operates in accordance with the Estonian law.
EHIF, founded in 2001, is a single payer on the market who organises the mandatory social health insurance in Estonia. It is an independent public entity that owns its assets.
The Fund has covered more than 95% of the population of Estonia. Estonia's health insurance system is based on solidarity. About 49% of the insured persons are those who do not take part in the fund's filling, including children, students, retired people with disabilities and citizens over 65 who are subsidized by active employees. The state renders financial support for around 4% of all citizens, including persons on childcare leave, registered unemployed persons and persons providing care for disabled persons. This group of persons who do not take part in compulsory health insurance also includes persons covered by voluntary insurance medical agreements [15. р. 25-26]. This reflects the principle of solidarity of medical insurance in the act, when the working population covers a part of the needs of the disabled and socially vulnerable categories of the population.
Sandra Victoria Nei fairly points out that the health care system in Estonia functions in accordance with the Bismarck Model of Health Classification offered by the OECD. Based on this, the reforms implemented in Estonia recently implemented in health care system were appropriate. Considering this, as far as we know, they have demonstrated the best results for the current health care system in Estonia, but despite the above, the continued growth of funding for the health care system (fund filling) is the growing concern.
The health care system in Estonia functions according to the lines of the Bismarck model from the OECD health care classification. Based on this fact, it was established that the recent health care system reforms have been sensible. Considering what is known this far, they gave the best possible results to the present health care system in Estonia but in spite of this the sustainability of the healthcare system financing is an issue of growing concern [16, р.111].
Indeed, internal labor migration in the EU Member States, together with the general tendency towards ageing process of the European population, necessitates the financing of the medical sector to maintain the proper level of providing medical services to the population. It should be noted that family physicians in Ukraine can sign declarations with patients, who will soon leave for work in the EU, while the salaries of such physicians will be proportionally calculated to the number of signatories of the declarations. V.I. Teremetskyi, O. M. Muzychuk, E.Y. Salmanova2, D.V.Kaznacheyeva and S.V. Knysh focused attention to this issue in their works [17].
In general, the experience of these EU states demonstrates the positive and negative aspects of both organizational structures for building health care systems. We believe that the key aspect to implement the reform in Ukraine is the emphasis on a succession of changes and flexibility in finding the best possible directions for the development of the national system. Ukraine should pay attention to the possibility of creating a full-fledged state fund of compulsory health insurance instead of a service provided by the NSHU.
The key to the experience of foreign countries is to ensure human rights, especially its vulnerable groups: minors, handicapped persons, pensioners, etc. Therefore, it is advisable to develop and implement state medical programs for the support of pensioners in order to ensure an increase in the average life expectancy in Ukraine, as well as to support the active position of the population of Ukraine during the third age.
L.I. Danylchenko correctly noted: "The choice of the health care model must fully comply with the current situation in the country, in this regard the transition to insurance medicine should be implemented taking into account the welfare of the population, the possibility of paying a part of health services while maintaining appropriate social guarantees for the poor layers of the population" [18, p. 14]. Implementation of the medical reform in Ukraine, which in the perspective should improve the health care, nowadays complicates the implementation of medical rights by citizens.
Thus, we may name the main miscalculations of the reform of the medical system in Ukraine, they are: a) the absence of a clear benchmark in the formation of a perspective health care model on the basis of compulsory medical insurance (SHI) or on the basis of state health care (NHS); b) the lack of practical implementation of the changes and innovations declared by the concepts and plans; c) insufficient provision of medical rights of citizens during the transition period.
The authors of the article have stressed the main mistakes of the national health care system in accordance with the concept of medical sector reform. The authors have revealed positive international practices that can be implemented for the real improvement of medical human rights in Ukraine, namely the experience of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It has been proved that the ongoing reform of the health care system in Ukraine needs to be reviewed and optimized in order to achieve concrete practical results. It has been offered to consolidate a perspective model of the Ukrainian health care system, its principles and guarantees of immunity on the legislative level. Populism and speculations on individual achievements in the health care sector should not serve as a criterion for the effectiveness of the reform. The assessment of medical reform should characterize it in the complex dimension, rather than in accordance with certain stages.
Search for the optimal health care system for Ukraine is a perspective topic for scientific research, since Ukraine's national legislation is approaching the EU standards that requires greater integration of health care systems into a single European medical space.

Twitter's heads of engineering and design leave the company in turmoil.
By Rokey	 On Dec 3, 2021
Twitter's new CEO Parag Agrawal said on Friday that he would reorganize top management at the company and that two key people would leave.
The shakeup was the first sign of change under Mr Agrawal, who took over the reins of the social media company on Monday after co-founder and CEO, Jack Dorsey, announced his resignation.
Twitter is under pressure from investors to launch new products faster and generate more revenue, and Mr Agrawal said in an email to Twitter employees that the leadership changes were intended to accelerate Twitter's pace.
Twitter's chief of engineering, Michael Montano, and its chief of design and research, Dantley Davis, will leave the company by the end of the year. Mr. Davis championed a culture change at Twitter that pushed staff to perform better and was criticized by some employees as bullying.
Twitter confirmed the executive's departure in a regulatory filing on Friday.
Over the past two years, Mr. Davis has played a key role in a behind-the-scenes effort to reshape Twitter culture. But he repeatedly clashed with employees because of his blunt style. His treatment of employees was also the subject of several investigations by Twitter's personnel relations department and complaints to Mr. Dorsey that too many people were leaving.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Montano will remain advisors to Twitter through the first quarter of 2022, according to the registration filing.
Mr. Dorsey, Mr. Davis and Mr. Montano aren't the only executives who recently announced they want to leave Twitter. The head of the company, Jennifer Christie, also recently announced that she would be leaving Twitter by the end of the year, according to two people familiar with the announcement and not authorized to speak publicly.
Twitter's product and engineering teams will be consolidated under three executives, a Twitter spokeswoman said.
Kayvon Beykpour will manage all consumer products and will oversee the design and research organization. Bruce Falck will take over all revenue products. And Nick Caldwell will manage the technical infrastructure that runs Twitter, overseeing data science and back-end engineering.
Twitter announced in February that it aims to double its revenue and add 123 million more active users by 2023, and the company hopes consolidating its Twitter teams among a handful of leaders will help it accelerate its plans, a statement said. spokeswoman.

Q: How to find value using INDEX + MATCH with SETS of multiple criteria on Google Sheets? The formula works if I compare exact days, but it's possible that the person filled out a form today and will only fill out the other the next day, so it's important to test for a couple of days ahead and behind anyway.
This is the working formula for the same day:
=if(INDEX(F:F,MATCH(1,(H:H=C3)*(DAY(LEFT(F:F,10))=DAY(LEFT(A3,10))),0))<>"","Yes","No")

This is my attempt to make it work for 1 and 2 days later:
=IF(OR(
if(INDEX(F:F,MATCH(1,(H:H=C3)*(DAY(LEFT(F:F,10))=DAY(LEFT(A3,10))),0))<>""),
if(INDEX(F:F,MATCH(1,(H:H=C3)*(DAY(LEFT(F:F,10))=DAY(LEFT(A3,10))+1),0))<>""),
if(INDEX(F:F,MATCH(1,(H:H=C3)*(DAY(LEFT(F:F,10))=DAY(LEFT(A3,10))+2),0))<>"")),
,"Yes","No")

Here's a sample of the file, in case you feel like spreading your expertise.
Appreciate you!

I was born and raised in Earl Grey, Saskatchewan, a small farming community 40 minutes north of Regina, SK. Growing up in a small community and helping out on the family farm, I was raised to treat others with respect, be honest and care for others. I am proud to say these are the same values in which I run my life and my business. Family and friends are a #1 priority to me and I am a proud husband and father of three gorgeous ladies Kelley, Marley and Katey. I also enjoy playing all sorts of sports including hockey, curling, softball, volleyball and water sports. I love meeting new people and establishing new relationships.
My journey in life has taken me through a ton of experiences that have prepared me for my career choice in Real Estate. I spent 8 years of my life working for an Insurance Company in customer service. The next 4 years, I worked for an Underwriting company located out of Toronto inspecting and calculating replacement costs on homes for insurance companies. I can't begin to explain the amount of knowledge and stories that I take from those years of inspecting homes.
I started my Real Estate career in 2003 and was very fortunate to be mentored by Phil Robertson, (one of Regina's Top Real Estate Agents ). Phil has been and continues to be a major influence in my life. Over the past years I have dedicated myself to becoming more involved in organized real estate and am currently serving my second year on the Board of Directors for the Association of Regina Realtors.
A referral is the kindest compliment! If you know any family, friends or neighbours looking to buy or sell, please pass on my name. Your referral is greatly appreciated and I will take the ultimate care and deliver exceptional service.

GravelHUB: Revolutionizing the Entire Gravel Industry
While building a career in industrial construction and mining, Tyler Knock worked with earth and aggregates regularly. Aggregates are gravel, rock, sand, concrete, and natural products that come out of the ground. During a project bidding on a 200 mega-watt wind farm, Knock needed a massive amount of gravel but did not know who to contact in the area. He talked to farmers, asked local people, and navigated RM maps to try and track down landowners. When he searched the internet to seek out supply, he found himself at yet another dead end, which is when Knock came up with the idea of GravelHUB. Knock partnered with a Saskatchewan based Project Management firm Peter Lucas Project Management to make the vision a reality.
"The aggregate industry as a whole is kind of forgotten about," Knock explains. "You're forced to make multimillion dollar decisions at times with nothing more than a network of contacts or simply the people you've dealt with in the past. There's no marketplace or platform for aggregate suppliers to market their product so buyers can find them."
GravelHUB is a digital solution that answers a simplistic problem in nature: who has the gravel? Created for buyers, sellers, and industry partners, it's an online, interactive, and map-based marketplace designed to buy and sell aggregate. Sellers list aggregate that they have available and buyers can search where they want their gravel, which takes haul distance and other arrangements into account.
"GravelHUB was built to make the whole process easier for everyone to save time and money" says the GravelHUB CFO Connor Regier. "Being able to easily access the supply chain for aggregate and gravel is crucial to the livelihood of our local businesses and communities."
On the buyer side, GravelHUB's user-friendly solution is built for anyone who is searching for aggregates such as individuals, private companies, municipalities, and government. On the seller side, the platform is an easy way to access the gravel market in Canada and list your products for sale.
"2020 has been difficult for everyone, and it's challenging to ask people to look at new tech" Knock shares. "We want to remove as much friction as possible to enable people to do that."
For industry partners, the platform addresses companies or individuals who work in the aggregate industry in some specialized fashion such as crushing companies, technical services, equipment companies, and more. By providing a dedicated and concentrated advertising solution, GravelHUB becomes a lead generator for these partners and helps connect companies with the users looking for their specific services.
GravelHUB has been working on initiatives to sustainably transport gravel through the railways by providing railway logistics for gravel and working with local governments on concepts for future steps. "By supplying aggregate closer to its destination, there are less negative impacts on roadways, infrastructure, the environment, reduced carbon emissions, and increased traffic safety," Knock shares.
They are also working with Indigenous communities, as many have aggregate bearing land. There are often barriers preventing the communities from getting their supplies to market as it's common for people to be trucking aggregate in from quite a distance away and driving right past another source. The GravelHUB platform works alongside Indigenous communities to allow sourcing their product quickly and competitively, which leads to greater economic development through increased access to the market as well as increased visibility for the industry into the supplies found on their land.
In Canada, the mining, quarrying, oil and gas, and construction industries are the third and the fourth largest contributors to the country's Gross Domestic Product, contributing $280 billion in March of 2020 alone. Almost every infrastructure project includes aggregate, so GravelHUB has been a game-changer for the industry. "We're diversifying supply networks," Knock explains. "Our goal is to distribute gravel more efficiently and widely."
GravelHUB is currently the only digital marketplace for aggregate anywhere, and they're working on growing in Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, then eventually across all of Canada.
Being a technology-based company whose product improves Government service delivery, GravelHUB is an eligible Made In Saskatchewan Technology (MIST) company through Innovation Saskatchewan and the Provincial Government.
Since Saskatchewan has more kilometres of roadway than anywhere in the country, aggregate is crucial for the economy here so it's been a great place to start. As well, the team are Saskatchewan born and raised so they understand the industry and challenges that are faced.
The Saskatchewan tech scene is vibrant and filled with experts, and the team has been working with a local firm to develop the platform. Knock says the government has been supportive of the idea and been open to giving time and taking meaningful actions to put resources forward, "I can't imagine trying to do this with a government who wasn't open to innovation."
