Ismail H.A. Ziyaeddin (also known as Ismail H. A. Ziyayddin) (13 November 1912 – 3 May 1996) was a Crimean Tatar poet known for adapting the Latin alphabet to the special needs of the Crimean Tatar language and co-authoring the first Tatar language textbooks with Latin script in Romania.

Biography
Ziyaeddin was born on 13 November 1912 to Hağí Ahmet (1875–1963) and Fatma (1880–1971) in Constanța. His father Hağí Ahmet hailed from Crimea. After studying theology in Turkey he settled in Romania serving as imam and marrying the daughter of Sheikh Islam Omer.

Ziyaeddin grew up in his hometown where he attended the primary school in Tatar language and he graduated with excellent results from the Medrese of Medğidiye/Medgidia. He was fond of Tatar literary and musical folklore. He played the violin and he was often seen learning new songs.

After graduating he continued deepening his knowledge of Asian languages and literature, to record and to establish similarities between the Turkic languages. Between 1932 and 1937 he worked at the national lottery. Between 1940 and 1942 he served as personal assistant of the Mufti of Constanța.

From 1942 until 1944 he served as imam at the mosque located in the Carol I Park in Bucharest, which was later demolished to make room for the Mausoleum of the Communist Heroes built on its site. In 1950 he graduated from Timișoara Faculty of Civil Engineering.

He translated from Romanian into Crimean Tatar poems of Mihai Eminescu and George Coşbuc.

In 1985 his poems have been published by Şukran Vuap-Mocanu in the Tatar Language Course at the University of Bucharest.

He died on 3 May 1996 in Bucharest.

Q: Sign up & Login with Phone Number in Firebase I am new in Android and I have few questions about when a new user account is created on phone authentication. I created a Register Activity and OTP Activity for user registration. After the user registration, I get the user's information and 5 Activity later I store the datas to Firebase. I can see the user's details and phone number in Firebase.
This is my OTP page:
  private void signInWithPhoneAuthCredential(PhoneAuthCredential credential) {

    FirebaseAuth firebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

    firebaseAuth.signInWithCredential(credential)
            .addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
                @Override
                public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                    if(task.isSuccessful()){

                        Intent intent = new Intent(B_Verification_Activity.this, C_Name_Activity.class);
                        intent.putExtra("userPhone", comp_phoneNumber);
                        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
                        startActivity(intent);
                    }
                    else{
                        return;
                    }
                }
            });
}

And this is my last activity that I store the datas in Firebase:
  public void storeNewUserData() {
    rootNode = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
    String userId = firebaseAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();
    reference = rootNode.getInstance().getReference().child("Kullanıcılar").child(user_Gender.toString()).child(userId);

    UserHelperClass addNewUser = new UserHelperClass(user_phoneNumber, user_FirstName, user_Gender, user_Birthdate, user_Hobbies);
    reference.setValue(addNewUser);
}

But I don't know how user to login with phone number. In registration page, I just verified phone number, that's it. I don't know user is created or not in Register Activity. I want to create user in OTP activity. Is there any other code to I should write?
My english is not very good, thank you for helping.

A: There is no registration or login functionality in Firebase Phone Authentication. Actually, they just take user's phone number and verify it with a one time password. It is phone number verification actually.
In other terms, if the phone number is new, then a new user account is created after verification. But if a returning user verifies his/her number, they are simply signed in. You might want to do one thing from here :
You may want to check if user is new or old and then get data from Realtime database/Firestore if they are returning users. You might be also sending data of new user to database, in that case you can send their data if they are first time user.
To help you with this, there is a function in Firebase Android SDK named isNewUser() which returns boolean value true if they are verifying (logging) with their number for first time. You may read about that function in detail from here.

New research indicates that U.S. Internet users are cutting back their hours spent online based on growing fears about identity theft schemes and other Web-oriented crimes.
New research released by Consumer Reports WebWatch finds that U.S. Internet users are cutting back on the hours they spend online, shunning e-commerce and refusing to give out personal information as a result of the rising tide of Web-based crimes related to identity theft.
According to the WebWatch report, released Wednesday, 80 percent of all American Web surfers are at least somewhat concerned about the threat of identity theft posed by engaging in online activities.
As a result of those concerns, at least 30 percent of the 1,500 people interviewed for the survey said they have reduced the amount of time they access the Internet.
In addition to going online less frequently, 53 percent of the respondents told WebWatch that fears of ID theft have stopped them from giving out their personal information to Web sites and online marketers, while 25 percent said they are no longer purchasing items from e-commerce sites.
In a nod to related information security concerns, some 54 percent of the respondents who still buy items online said they now read Web sites privacy policies before doing business with a company, and 29 percent said they have merely cut down on the amount of Web shopping they engage in.
New York-based WebWatch, a grant-funded project of the nonprofit Consumers Union, said that consumers have dramatically shifted their views of online activity over the last several years, becoming far more conservative about what constitutes safe online behavior.
Compared to the groups 2002 study on the same topic, researchers said that people are placing far more importance on issues of security and privacy when choosing which sites they visit or do business with.

In the 2005 report, 88 percent of survey respondents said that a sites ability to keep personal information secure was "very important" in deciding which sites to frequent, while 81 percent said that having trust that information on a site is accurately presented is a major determining factor.
While 48 percent of respondents said that knowing exactly who owns a Web site is an important factor in their usage, 76 percent said it was vital to be able to identify where the information on a site is coming from.
Officials with the research outfit claim that recommendations to consumers from groups like WebWatch have contributed to the growing scrutiny of sites, which it views as a positive development.
"Were gratified that over time, our guidelines for improving Web site credibility, and the general concerns of U.S. Internet users, remain connected," said Beau Brendler, director of WebWatch, in the report. "The types of qualities users expect from credible Web sites are the same qualities found in [our] guidelines."
Among the other findings of the study was indication that Americans are increasingly turning to the Web to get their news, with the percentage of adults reporting that they get the bulk their coverage from the Internet doubling to 11 percent, compared to only 5 percent in 2002.
Some 69 percent of those surveyed said that sites that maintain a clear distinction between advertising and news content are more reliable, with 31 percent agreeing that it is very important for news sites to reveal the financial relationships they maintain with other businesses.
While Weblogs, or blogs, have caused a major upheaval in the news business as companies look at ways to keep up with citizen reporters, those surveyed by WebWatch were clearly less enthralled with the movement, with 57 percent distrusting blog-generated news, 21 percent saying that blogs are usually incorrect, and only 12 percent expressing a belief that the online journals are accurate most of the time.
Roughly 27 percent of those interviewed said they had visited a blog in the past several months.
Americans are also increasingly skeptical regarding images they find on the Web, with 47 percent reporting that they have viewed what they believed to be manipulated pictures online. Despite that trend, 67 percent said they trust online news sites to use genuine photographs.
In relation to childrens Web usage, opinions remain largely negative, with 86 percent of those surveyed identifying adults continued pursuit of kids in chat rooms as a serious problem on the Internet today, with 61 percent labeling violent online games as a major issue. Some 82 percent believe it is too easy for minors to view sexually explicit content.
Among the few bright spots revealed by the research was growing trust in auction and financial services sites, despite the growth of online phishing schemes which have largely spoofed such pages in the name of committing identity theft.
WebWatch said that 61 percent of its respondents feel auction sites are safe, with 68 percent confident in their use of online banking sites, and 55 percent comfortable enough to use online bill payment systems.

REVIEW: Unfolding Tales at the Stockwell Playhouse
When someone says 'A musical about the life of J.R.R Tolkien' you think to yourself 'Why?' Yet after reading about his life you'd understand this subject matter is perfect for a musical. Tolkien's life is littered with drama from the passing of his mother at an early age through to The Battle of the Somme where he contracted trench fever and then to his coup de grace when he published the Lord of the Rings trilogy; and turning this into a musical is the job of young composter Joseph Purdue and book writer Claire Gibson, and what a task it is.
As the performance starts we're introduced to the fact this is a semi-staged version and only features the songs. It's directed by Adam Haigh and he has done an exquisite job of staging at the Stockwell Playhouse. The use of a minimalist set and a constant ensemble presence on stage is very effective.
Unfolding Tales is led by Liam Doyle who brings a delicacy and power to the part that is quite lovely to listen to. Accompanying Liam is Alexa Terry as Tolkien's wife Edith Bratt. Her performance was so natural, raw and the vulnerable. This is a masterful performance and a real lesson in musical theatre. Her vocals make an easy time of the demanding songs written for the part, stretching over her whole vocal range (and then some) without sounding strained or difficult. Bravo!
Singing the part of Tolkien's Mother is Jodie Steele. A vocal powerhouse let loose amongst south west London. Her vocals give a great depth to the piece.
Every musical has a heart. In 'A Chorus Line' 'At the Ballet' is the heart: in Unfolding Tales there is a duet between Tolkien and his Mother called 'Still So Close' in the second act and this is, quite clearly the heart. It's an absolutely beautiful song in which Doyle and Steele's voice meld wonderfully, bringing the ghostly atmosphere to life.
Special mentions to Graham Foote and Giuseppe Pellingra for some excellent signing. Graham Soars above the cast with his beautiful tenor and Giuseppe grounds them with his Bass lower notes that vibrate through your soul.
The ensemble are quite frankly spectacular. Their collective sound dances over
the nuances of the score falling with every diminuendo and raising with force with every crescendo. Delicate and accurate with harmonies then when you're not expecting it the music and vocals hit you like an emotional truck in unison.
The music from Unfolding Tales is phenomenal and stirring. We are so thirsty for new musical theatre and this, musically ticks the boxes. It would be interesting to see this as a full production.
Keep an eye out for Unfolding Tales as I'm sure this isn't the last we will be seeing of the work of Joseph Purdue.

NAACP Chairman Speaks at AFL-CIO Convention

Julian Bond, Chairman, NAACP National Board of Directors, told members of the AFL-CIO that despite the exclusion of African Americans from some unions 40 years ago, "given our common interests, minority Americans and organized labor are both better off when we cooperate. Most of us are working people. Our interests and your interests are the same."
Speaking to delegates to the AFL-CIO convention in Chicago, Bond said: "Minority Americans have better lives because of labor's struggles. Labor supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988 and the Civil Rights Act of 1991. We know labor will be with us when we fight for renewal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The interests of minorities and labor are inevitably bound together; as Martin Luther King said, when you are cut, we bleed."
"A crisis confronts the labor movement and the civil rights movement because of the conservative control of the Congress and the White House," Bond said.
Bond said: "Despite impressive increases in the number of black people holding public office, despite our ability now to sit and eat and ride and vote and attend school in places that used to bar black faces, in some important ways nonwhite Americans face restrictions more difficult to attack than in the years that went before. The current leadership of the House [of Representatives] and the Senate is as hostile to civil rights as any in recent memory. On a report card prepared by the NAACP, they fail."
In recent years, Bond said, "the enemies of justice and fair play have whittled away at the components of the progressive coalition" that includes organized labor. Despite anti-union forces in Washington, D.C., Bond said, this coalition can "shape public policy once again."
Conservative politicians and their allies have "promoted deeply flawed economic and foreign policies," said Bond. "They've passed tax cuts that were not only unfair but unaffordable. Ideas of government that were marginal, even delusional, have moved to center stage. The wacky has become the reality; the unimaginable is now taken for everyday truth."
Bond said conservatives have "restricted access to the courts, capped damages for even the most egregious practices, eviscerated class action lawsuits, and not coincidentally, shielded industry after industry from legal scrutiny." Moreover, he said, "They've tried an aggressive campaign to seduce black clergy and create a brand new political party, whose initials are F-B-G-P. That stands for the Faith Based Grant Party. Their hope is to create an alliance of the neo-cons and the theo-cons, all tied together by federal cash."
In 2003, black workers made up 16.5% of the unionized workforce, a greater percentage than their portion in the population. Numerous studies show that blacks, particularly black women, are more likely to vote pro-union in certification elections than their non-black counterparts.
Bond told the labor leaders: "Organized labor's agenda helps non-unionized blacks too. A high percentage of blacks are minimum wage and low-wage job holders. Labor fights for them when it fights for a raise in the minimum wage; that's why the NAACP has endorsed the call for an increase and why we've supported legislation that will boost the present, inadequate minimum wage."

Indications, Challenges, and Characteristics of Successful Implementation of Perioperative Registries in Low Resource Settings: A Systematic Review
Fitsum Kifle, Tewodros Kifleyohanes, Jolene Moore, Ayele Teshome, Bruce M. Biccard
Perioperative registries can be utilised to track outcomes, develop risk prediction models, and make evidence-based decisions and interventions. To better understand and support initiatives to establish clinical registries, this study aimed to assess the indications, challenges, and characteristics of successful perioperative registries in low-resource settings, where there is unmet surgical demand and patients have a mortality rate up to double that of high-income countries. We conducted a librarian-assisted literature search of international research databases of articles published between January 1969 and January 2021. Studies were filtered using predefined criteria and responses to two Mixed Method Appraisal Tool screening questions. A Direct Content Analysis Method was used to synthesis. e data for eligible studies based on predefined criteria. The search identified 2793 abstracts. After removing duplicates and excluding studies that did not meet eligibility criteria, twelve studies were included, conducted in South America (n = 4), Africa (n = 5), the Middle East (n = 2), and Asia (n = 1). The lack of context-specific data for determining and evaluating patient outcomes (n = 7) was the major indication for implementation. Organising local research teams and engaging stakeholders in the host country were associated with successful implementation. Inadequate funding for data collectors and monitoring data quality were identified as challenges (n = 4). The goal of a perioperative registry is to generate data to influence and support quality improvement, and national surgical policies. Efforts to establish perioperative registries in low- and middle-income countries should engage local teams and stakeholders and seek to overcome challenges in data collection and monitoring.

Real-Life "Orange is the New Black" in Detention Centers: Mistreatment of Detainees in Immigration Detention Centers Nationwide
Immigration detention centers are jails for immigrants – a lot of them are actually prisons – where immigrants, legal or illegal, are held. Research by ACLU and other organizations has shown that almost all detention centers are overcrowded and have really poor conditions. As a law firm that advocates for the rights of immigrants, we have a lot of clients who have been detained in various centers scattered throughout the country.
Detainees are deemed to not have rights, and in these prison-like conditions they are dehumanized. Our detained clients and other detainees have restricted and sporadic communications with their loved ones. One of our clients was transferred to an Immigration Detention Center in Arizona where he continues to live in inhumane and harsh conditions. These harsh conditions include; small children fainting from dehydration and lack of food, rampant sexual abuse, lack of air circulation, people crammed in windowless rooms. Detainees commonly refer to these centers as "la perrera" (kennel) and "la hielera" (icebox).
Detained immigrants get extremely limited medical assistance where they are not taken to the hospital when they are unwell because officers who are unqualified to make a determination of their health, "assume" that they must be pretending to be sick and keep them detained. Another commonly noted recurring problem is that once the detainees are transferred, they cannot bring their medication. The detainees live in freezing room temperatures that increase their existing medical ailments. All detainees are quarantined together when one of them is sick, and there are no precautions taken. Like our clients, a lot of people suffer from depression and other psychological damage as a result of being isolated. For example, the lights are left on and light metallic sheets are given for cover. Moreover, the officers are not cooperative with either the detainees' loved ones or lawyers as they continue to avoid accountability.
This is the kind of detention Center that most or all immigrants are sent to. The words "Detention Center" send shivers down the spine of any immigrant and their families. There was such a surge of detainees over the last couple of months to the extent that the administration had to open up make-shift centers that have been outsourced to third parties. More had to be opened after the President's "zero tolerance" policy.
What is the "zero tolerance" policy? It is a policy introduced by the current administration that called for the prosecution of all individuals who entered the United States illegally. Many centers mushroomed after this policy was introduced in April 2018. Some legal immigrants have also been detained in some cases and it takes a significant amount of time for them to get any kind of respite.
United States is signatory to a significant number of protocols that protect the rights of refugees such as Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, through which the United States undertakes obligations found in the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, among others. But where the signature is subject to ratification, acceptance or approval, the signature does not establish the consent to be bound.
There has been little response from the administration and the government in improving these harsh conditions in detention centers. Immigrants are humans just like everyone else. Subjecting them to these dehumanizing conditions makes our country look like it no longer stands for the qualities of freedom, equality, and liberty as enshrined in the United States Constitution.

Two thirds of Idahoans can afford to live on what they make. The rest—people who care for our children, keep cars running, and look after the sick—don't make a living. They make choices: between child care and rent, or between paying car insurance and getting enough to eat.
In January, the United Way released a study of individuals and families for whom no amount of belt-tightening will secure a basic standard of living.
Their data shows that more than one in five Idahoans are asset limited, income constrained and employed, or ALICE. ALICE takes us beyond the federal poverty level—a measure of "deep" poverty—with a detailed account of wages and the cost of living in Idaho, and a focus on what it takes to meet a livable household budget.
More than half the households of Clark, Madison, and Owyhee counties, and more than four in 10 households in Coeur d'Alene, Twin Falls, Pocatello and Nampa, fall into the ALICE category. So do more than one in three families statewide (pdf).
This takes a toll on families, on their success and opportunity. Long commutes between affordable housing and employment congest and wear down roads. Children in these households require more expensive remedial and special education programs. Increasing reliance on state assistance and catastrophic healthcare programs leaches revenues that could improve public education, or modernize critical infrastructure.
Idaho Democrats understand that predictable increases in the minimum wage and providing low income health coverage can help turn that tide.
Research from the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment confirms that pairing the two creates a "win-win" scenario for states and taxpayers (pdf): health care coverage relieves counties from the cost of emergency care, and tens of thousands of people from an expense they can scarcely afford.
By tying growth in the minimum wage to inflation, taxpayers save money and the economy grows. Estimates from the Economic Policy Institute show that a wage increase of $1.17 an hour among people earning near-minimum wages helps 1 million hard-working people leave government assistance.
The outcome is a more accountable, efficient use of tax dollars. That frees up resources for services Idaho really needs. In a period in our state's history where more children than ever rely on property-tax levies to get an education, good management of our tax dollars is critical.
Health care coverage along with responsible increases in the minimum wage are excellent and well-vetted steps on a path to broader economic stability.
Idaho Democrats envision a state where financial security is in reach for everyone willing to work. These are small, reasonable steps toward that end.
John Rusche (D-Lewiston) is minority leader of the Idaho House of Representatives, Rep. Mat Erpelding (D-Boise) is assistant minority leader and Rep. Donna Pence (D-Gooding) is minority caucus chair.


metadata.conference.dc.description.abstract: Wireless local area network has become the most popular networks in connecting to internet especially at home, universities, hotels and workplaces. Therefore understanding the radio frequency behaviour of WLAN is vital in ensuring the best possible coverage. Wireless-N system operators in two frequencies band which are the 2.4GHz ISM band and 5GHz UNII band. However this paper investigates the radio frequency propagation behaviour at 5GHz. The radio frequency signal strength measurements were recorded at University Kuala Lumpur British Malaysian Institute and focuses in indoor environment. The measured radio frequency signal strengths are analyzed and compared with the simulated response of the modified Okumura-Hata propagation model. It is found that the modified Okumura-Hata propagation model could be used to predict the radio frequency signal strength for indoor environment.

World oil demand is up, but the glut remains, IEA says | CBC News Loaded
World oil demand is up, but the glut remains, IEA says
Low oil prices and an improvement in economic growth have driven up demand for oil across the world, though supply continues to outpace demand, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.
OPEC is pumping more oil, while the U.S. oilpatch pulls back, according to latest data
CBC News · Posted: Jun 11, 2015 12:30 PM ET | Last Updated: June 11, 2015

In its June report the Paris-based group that monitors the world's energy supply pointed to a decline in production from non-OPEC sources, which has helped narrow the gap between supply and demand.
OPEC turning on the oil taps about more than just market share
OPEC oil glut is shattering Harper's superpower dream
The huge surplus of oil produced over oil consumed brought the price of a barrel of crude down from $107 last year to a low of $45 earlier this year.
But the recovery in demand has helped put a floor on the price, with West Texas Intermediate oil trading at $60.36 US a barrel today. The IEA says imbalances in refining capacity — mainly a shortage of refining capacity for some high-demand areas, have contributed to price stability in the last six weeks.
Driving more in U.S.
Among the big users are U.S. drivers, who have driven up demand for gasoline by 4.2 per cent in the past year, the IEA reports.
Though Chinese industrial demand has fallen, Chinese consumers are also buying more petroleum products as they take to a driving lifestyle.
First quarter demand was boosted by a cold winter in Europe, but economic recovery also played a role, the IEA said.
Going forward, demand won't be as strong for the rest of the year, because prices are up, discouraging consumers, it said.
"This partial rebound lessens, at least for now, support to demand across much of the world," the report said,
The IEA's estimate of global demand growth has been revised up to 1.7 million barrels a day for the first quarter and 1.4 million barrels a day for 2015 as a whole. That's 300,000 barrels a day more than it previously estimated, bringing total global demand to 94 million barrels a day.
Still got more than we can use
Meanwhile global supply fell in May to 96 million barrels a day, but was still three million barrels a day more than this time last year.
It is non-OPEC output, mainly the U.S. shale producers, who have pulled back. The Organization of Petroleum Exporters boosted supply to 31.33 million barrels a day in May as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE pumped at record levels.
OPEC's decision earlier this month to maintain output at current levels almost guarantees a continued oversupply of crude that will keep a lid on prices.
"Despite signs of a slowdown in non-OPEC supply, notably in the U.S., global production growth remains exceptionally high. As a result, oil inventories have soared, but their breakdown by product and region doesn't quite match that of demand," the report said
Economy better able to withstand oil shock, Bank of Canada says
Oilpatch sharply cuts future production forecast
OPEC leaves oil output targets unchanged

This most famous and most important Civil War Battle occurred over three hot summer days, July 1 to July 3, 1863, around the small market town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It began as a skirmish but by its end involved 160,000 Americans.
Before the battle, major cities in the North such as Philadelphia, Baltimore and even Washington itself, were under threat of attack from General Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia which had crossed the Potomac River and marched into Pennsylvania.
The Union Army of the Potomac under its very new and untried commander, General George G. Meade, marched to intercept Lee.
On Tuesday morning, June 30, an infantry brigade of Confederate soldiers searching for shoes headed toward Gettysburg (population 2,400). The Confederate commander looked through his field glasses and spotted a long column of Federal cavalry heading toward the town. He withdrew his brigade and informed his superior, Gen. Henry Heth, who in turn told his superior, A.P. Hill, he would go back the following morning and "get those shoes."
Wednesday morning, July 1, two divisions of Confederates headed back to Gettysburg. They ran into Federal cavalry west of the town at Willoughby Run and the skirmish began. Events would quickly escalate. Lee rushed 25,000 men to the scene while the Union had less than 20,000.
After much fierce fighting and heavy casualties on both sides, the Federals were pushed back through the town of Gettysburg and regrouped south of the town along the high ground near the cemetery. Lee ordered Confederate General R.S. Ewell to seize the high ground from the battle weary Federals "if practicable." Gen. Ewell hesitated to attack thereby giving the Union troops a chance to dig in along Cemetery Ridge and bring in reinforcements with artillery. By the time Lee realized Ewell had not attacked, the opportunity had vanished.
Meade arrived at the scene and thought it was an ideal place to do battle with the Rebel army. He expected a massive number of Union soldiers totaling up to 100,000 to arrive and strengthen his defensive position.
Confederate General James Longstreet saw the Union position as nearly impregnable and told Lee it should be left alone. He argued that the Confederate Army should instead move east, between the Union Army and Washington and build a defensive position thus forcing the Federals to attack them instead. But Lee believed his army was invincible and he was also without his much needed cavalry which served as his eyes and ears, helping him to track Union troop movements. Cavalry leader Jeb Stuart had gone off with his troops to harass the Federals. Stuart's expedition would turn out to be for the most part a wild goose chase which left Lee at a disadvantage until he returned.
Lee decided to attack the Union Army's defensive position at the southern end of Cemetery Ridge which he thought was less well defended.
About 10 a.m. the next morning, Thursday, July 2, Gen. Longstreet was ordered by Lee to attack. But Longstreet was quite slow in getting his troops into position and didn't attack until 4 p.m. that afternoon thus giving the Union Army even more time to strengthen its position.
When Longstreet attacked, some of the most bitter fighting of the Civil War erupted at places now part of American military folklore such as Little Round Top, Devil's Den, the Wheat Field and the Peach Orchard. Longstreet took the Peach Orchard but was driven back at Little Round Top.
About 6:30 p.m. Gen. Ewell attacked the Union line from the north and east at Cemetery Hill and Culp's Hill. The attack lasted into darkness but was finally unsuccessful at Cemetery Hill, although the Rebels seized some trenches on Culp's Hill.
By about 10:30 p.m., the day's fighting came to an end. The Federals had lost some ground during the Rebel onslaught but still held the strong defensive position along Cemetery Ridge. Both sides regrouped and counted their causalities while the moaning and sobbing of thousands of wounded men on the slopes and meadows south of Gettysburg could be heard throughout the night under the blue light of a full moon.
Generals from each side gathered in war councils to plan for the coming day. Union commander Meade decided his army would remain in place and wait for Lee to attack. On the Confederate side, Longstreet once again tried to talk Lee out of attacking such a strong position. But Lee thought the battered Union soldiers were nearly beaten and would collapse under one final push. He decided to gamble to win the Battle of Gettysburg and in effect win the Civil War by attacking the next day at the center of the Union line along Cemetery Ridge where it would be least expected. To do this he would send in the fresh troops of Gen. George Pickett. Along with this, Gen. Ewell would renew the assault on Culp's hill.
But as dawn broke on Friday, July 3, about 4:30 a.m., Lee's timetable was undermined as Union cannons pounded the Rebels on Culp's Hill to drive them from the trenches. The Rebels did not withdraw, but instead attacked the Federals around 8 a.m.. Thus began a vicious three hour struggle with the Rebels charging time after time up the hill only to be beaten back. The Federals finally counter attacked and drove the Rebels off the hill and east across Rock Creek. Around 11 a.m. the fighting on Culp's Hill stopped. An eerie quiet settled over the whole battlefield.
Once again, Lee encountered opposition to his battle plan from Longstreet. Lee estimated about 15,000 men would participate in the Rebel charge on Cemetery Ridge. Longstreet responded, "It is my opinion that no 15,000 men ever arrayed for battle can take that position." But Lee was unmoved. The plan would go on as ordered.
Throughout the morning and into the afternoon amid 90° heat and stifling humidity the Rebels moved into position in the woods opposite Cemetery Ridge for the coming charge. Interestingly, some Union troops were moved away from Cemetery Ridge on Meade's orders because he thought Lee would attack again in the south. Several hours before, Meade had correctly predicted Lee would attack the center, but now thought otherwise. He left only 5, 750 infantrymen stretched out along the half-mile front to initially face the 13,000 man Rebel charge.
Lee sent Jeb Stuart's recently returned cavalry to go behind the Union position in order to divert Federal forces from the main battle area. Around noon, Union and Confederate cavalry troops clashed three miles east of Gettysburg but Stuart was eventually repulsed by punishing cannon fire and the Union cavalry led in part by 23 year old Gen. George Custer. The Rebel diversion attempt failed.
Back at the main battle site, just after 1 p.m. about 170 Confederate cannons opened fire on the Union position on Cemetery Ridge to pave the way for the Rebel charge. This was the heaviest artillery barrage of the war. The Federals returned heavy cannon fire and soon big clouds of blinding smoke and choking dust hung over the battlefield. Around 2:30 p.m. the Federals slowed their rate of fire, then ceased, to conserve ammunition and to fool the Rebels into thinking the cannons were knocked out - exactly what the Rebels did think.
Pickett went to see Longstreet and asked, "General, shall I advance?" Longstreet, now overwhelmed with emotion, did not respond, but simply bowed his head. Thus the order was given.
"Charge the enemy and remember old Virginia!" yelled Pickett as 13,000 Rebels formed a line that stretched a mile from flank to flank. In deliberate silence and with military pageantry from days gone by, they slowly headed toward the Union Army a mile away on Cemetery Ridge as the Federals gazed in wonder at this spectacular sight.
But as the Rebels got within range, Federal cannons using grapeshot (a shell containing iron balls that flew apart when fired) and deadly accurate rifle volleys ripped into the Rebels killing many and tearing holes in the advancing line. What had been, just moments before, a majestic line of Rebel infantry, quickly became a horrible mess of dismembered bodies and dying wounded accompanied by a mournful roar. But the Rebels continued on.
As they got very close, the Rebels stopped and fired their rifles once at the Federals then lowered their bayonets and commenced a running charge while screaming the Rebel yell.
A fierce battle raged for an hour with much brutal hand to hand fighting, shooting at close range and stabbing with bayonets. For a brief moment, the Rebels nearly had their chosen objective, a small clump of oak trees atop Cemetery Ridge. But Union reinforcements and regrouped infantry units swarmed in and opened fire on the Rebel ranks. The battered, outnumbered Rebels finally began to give way and this great human wave that had been Pickett's Charge began to recede as the men drifted back down the slope. The supreme effort of Lee's army had been beaten back, leaving 7,500 of his men lying on the field of battle.
Lee rode out and met the survivors, telling them, "It is all my fault." And to Pickett he said, "Upon my shoulders rests the blame." Later when he got back to headquarters Lee exclaimed, "Too bad. Too bad! Oh, too bad!" The gamble had failed. The tide of the war was now permanently turned against the South.
Confederate causalities in dead, wounded and missing were 28,000 out of 75,000. Union casualties were 23,000 out of 88,000
That night and into the next day, Saturday, July 4, Confederate wounded were loaded aboard wagons that began the journey back toward the South. Lee was forced to abandon his dead and begin a long slow withdrawal of his army back to Virginia. Union commander Meade, out of fatigue and caution, did not immediately pursue Lee, infuriating President Lincoln who wrote a bitter letter to Meade (never delivered) saying he missed a "golden opportunity" to end the war right there.
It rained on July 4, making battlefield cleanup and burial difficult. Later, a few photographers, including Mathew Brady, visited the scene and took Battlefield photographs.
On November 19, President Lincoln went to the battlefield to dedicate it as a military cemetery. The main orator, Edward Everett of Massachusetts, delivered a two hour formal address. The president then had his turn. He spoke in his high, penetrating voice and in a little over two minutes delivered the Gettysburg Address, surprising many in the audience by its shortness and leaving others quite unimpressed.
Over time, however, the speech and its words - government of the People, by the People, for the People - have come to symbolize the definition of democracy itself.

Who, or why, or which, or what, is the Sportsman Inn?
This most enigmatic of Eversholt pubs is mentioned in Slater's 1850 directory, which asserts that Richard Farmer runs it.
It seems it's definitely a pub, not a beer house, or it would be listed under the "Retailers of Beer" category. Slater's is not a complete list, indicating some laxity in its collection, so it may not be the most reliable guide.
According to the 1851 census (from Ancestry.com) Richard Farmer lives in Church End but calls himself a bricklayer. The house isn't specified.
Richard likely died in 1854. John Farmer, Richard's son born about 1842, is living in the Green Man in 1861 with his aunt, Ruth Smith, running the pub. Ruth was likely Richard Farmer's sister, baptised in Eversholt Church in 1810.
The first mention of the Sportsman in Eversholt in the papers is in 1833, where there are two sources. However, the sources are contradictory. Click for bigger versions.
George Fasey and Thomas Brown were indicted for a highway robbery at Eversholt.
William Spacey: On the 27th October last year I was at the Sportsman public house, at Eversholt. I went to the shops to buy some shop things; I went into the public house and had 2 pints of beer. I drank it all myself; afterwards I went to a Tom and Jerry house. I know the prisoners; they live at Eversholt, about a mile and a half from Milton Bryant, where I live. I did not see the prisoners at the Sportsman; my reckoning there came to 5d; I gave the landlady half a sovereign, and she gave me the change. Then I went to the "Tom and Jerry"; there I saw the prisoners; one of them was there when I went, and the other came after. I had 2 pints there; another man drank with me. I took my purse out to pay for the beer. I had 4s 6d more than the change I had taken; I counted the money when I was there, I had 14s 1d, the prisoners could see it; I had half a crown, a sixpence, and the rest were shillings; I stayed at the beer house till nearly eleven o'clock; I had to go to Milton Bryant; prisoners had been gone about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour; they knew where I lived. When I had got about a quarter of a mile, before I got to Potters Green, the prisoners came out of the hedge by the side of the road; the night was darkish; but am sure the men who came to me were the prisoners. Fasey knocked me down with his fist, and then fell upon me; he did not say anything, he laid himself across my legs. I felt Brown's hand at my pocket; I could see him; he took my purse out of my pocket and all my money; they then both got up and ran away; during the whole at this time neither of them spoke to me; though it was not a light night, it was sufficiently light for me to see them, and I knew them very well.
Fasey asked the prosecutor how much beer he paid for the public house?
Prosecutor: I paid 2s for 6 quarts; eight of these fellows drank with me.
By the court: I don't think I drank a pint of it myself. I was not quite sober, but not tipsy. I am a poor labouring man.
Elizabeth Spacey, wife of the prosecutor: my husband came home at half-past eleven o'clock the night of the robbery, and he was sober.
James Fowler (a lad): I was along with Fasey from eight o'clock at at night till six o'clock in the morning. I never was away from him. I was with him at the public house till ten o'clock; we then went and laid in a stable till six o'clock next morning. I went to sleep, perhaps, about eleven o'clock. The stable is about three quarters of a mile from Potters Green.
Ann Brown: I live at Eversholt. I am a servant out of place. I lodged at this "Tom and Jerry". I know the night Spacey was robbed. Three young men came in about eight o'clock, and staid till about half past ten; then Fazey and Fowler went out together. I was in the public taproom with the men.
Mr Baron Bolland commented on the evidence, and the jury found the prisoners guilty. Death recorded. His Lordship took occasion to condemn the manner in which these beer houses are conducted, as tending to encourage crime. Before the grand jury were discharged, they made a presentment on the evils of beer houses.
George Fasey, aged 20, and Thomas Brown, aged 18, were indicted for assaulting William Spacey, on the King's Highway, and stealing from his person 14s.
The prosecutor lives at Milton Bryant. On the 27th of last October, he went to a shop, to buy some chandlery goods. Afterwards went into the Sportsman beer shop there, where he met the two prisoners whom he had known for many years. They drank with him as well as some other men who were there, and at a little before eleven o'clock at night, after paying for six quarts of beer, he left the house. The two prisoners new where he lived, and quitted the house before him. On his reaching Potter's Green they came out of the hedge by the side of the lane. Fasey knocked him down with his fist, and fell upon him. Brown the other prisoner laid himself across his legs. While down, prosecutor felt Brown's hand in his pocket, and saw him take a purse containing 14 shillings in silver. Both prisoners then got up and ran away in the direction of Eversholt. Neither of the prisoners spoke. Prosecutor saw them while on him. He knew them well.
Cross examined: is a poor labouring man. Was not quite sober, or very drunk.
On behalf of the prisoners a lad named Fowler was called with a view to prove an alibi. He said he left the beer shop in company with the prisoners, and slept in a shed with them all night. Went to sleep at eleven o'clock.
These two accounts contradict each other in multiple details. In particular, the second suggests the Sportsman is a beer shop, while the first labels it a pub. Of the two, the first seems more credible, containing direct speech and much more information.
There are Bedford Gaol records for George Fasey and Thomas Brown. George had already been in jail for poaching. Those records say that George was 27, as opposed to the Bucks Gazette saying he was 20, but, don't believe everything you read in the papers. Their sentences were commuted to transportation for life. Both convicts were sent to the hulk prison ship Justitia at Woolwich on 19 May 1833. Thomas Brown was quickly sent on. He left England on the Lord Lyndoch on 30 May 1833, and arrived in New South Wales on 18 October 1833. There is a wealth of information about these convict ships online, including the medical records of this particular voyage and a complete list of arriving convicts, but George Fasey isn't there, under any conceivable spelling of his name. There was a Thomas Fasey, presumably a relation, sent to Bedford Gaol and transported for life for stealing a lamb, but I haven't found George.
However, none of that fascinating stuff really pins down the Sportsman Pub.
There are no further mentions of the Sportsman in the British Newspaper Archive for many years, until just one turns up in 1869.
That seems quite definite about the name and location of the pub. Auction catalogues were generally placed only in the larger pubs – the Green Man and the Falcon feature regularly.
It's really hard to change a pub name – locals persist in calling it by the old name for years. How many of us called the "Saffron Plaza" the "Drovers Arms" when they tried to change the name? Eventually they gave up and cahnged the name back to Drovers Arms.
So, the Green Man was definitely called the Green Man before the 1830s, and might have also had the name Sportsman from 1832 to 1869, but was also known as the Green Man in 1861 and 1871. Or, the Sportsman might have been some other pub entirely.
The Green Man was rebuilt in 1835 – the present building has that date in its gable. Maybe the new management tried to give it a new name with the new building. And tried and tried, and then gave up. But, that wouldn't explain why it would be called the Sportsman in 1832 or 1833.
Any more ideas? Feel free to comment!

I go to weird places.
Thats pretty self evident if you've been following this blog for a bit, from wandering around space ship shaped houses , taking a sunset stroll alonside abandoned factories and exploring old gold mining towns . I come from and love cities but there's something about reaching out towards the left behind that I genuinely can't get enough of.
Which is why when I started making plans for Death Valley I was incredibly excited about the prospect of not only seeing a park i've been dreaming of seeing since I was a child (yup, I was an odd kid) there was also the thrill of getting a chance to explore some abandoned towns and structures here in this most desolate of places. Since we only had one full day here in the park, there's a couple of places I decided to leave for another visit to give us the time to make it out to the two places I most wanted to see, Rhyolite and Skidoo.
So lemme start with the fact that technically, if you're headed out here just for the idea of exploring the ghost town of Skiddo, it doesn't exist. There are no standing buildings or structures that belonged to the town, and the area where the town used to be only has a placard in place of anything else to see. I figure it would be good to say that, and most guidebooks will tell you the same because getting out here is a real….adventure. Definitely do not attempt if you've only got a sedan type vehicle and weak knees. Best case scenario would be attempting this if you've got a 4WD high clearance vehicle and guts of steel for when the dirt path called a road starts to climb up into the mountains and your eyes inadvertently gaze down into the valley below. We were somewhere in the middle of those scenarios, my stomach knotted up but fingers tightly gripping my camera as we rounded those curves in our much abused Jeep.
We reached the mill around 1130am, the sun climbing hotter and hotter up into the blazing sapphire tinted sky and even with all the directions i'd amassed from various guidebooks and websites ( here's one ) we still only managed to make it to the mill by accident, and then we decided to backtrack down to attempt making it up a steeper hill opposite the mill to get a better view of it. A bumpy 10 minute drive later we'd crested over the hills, so far up that far off to our left we could see the shimmer of salty basins below. The whole ride up and around and over, we were completely alone. No signs of life whatsoever, from humans or animals alike, and sitting up there eating our lunch while gazing out at the abandoned stamp mill below and the gentle peaks surrounding us, it was the one moment of complete solitude that I experienced on the whole trip and it was magnificent.
Fantastic post! Love that stuff!!!
Holy balls this looks amazing. Death Valley is one place I'd like to visit if I did ever get to America, but I've heard the heat is such a killer.

Theatre Collection
Mander & Mitchenson Collection
The Mander & Mitchenson Theatre Collection (M&M) is completely unique - the result of the lifetime's work of Raymond Mander (1911 - 1983) and Joe Mitchenson (1911 – 1992) collecting the archives and ephemera of Britain's theatrical history.
Joe and Raymond met as young actors in London in the 1930s. They became partners both in life and in passionate collecting of books, props, scripts, set designs, costumes, Georgian tinsel prints, sculptures, playbills and music scores, photographs and paintings, and Victorian mantelpiece figurines of famous actors. With their theatrical connections they had a privileged insight and access to the theatre world "backstage" and the result is a wonderful collection, internationally recognised for its quality, which reflects the public and private "life" of theatre from the 18th century to modern times.
As an independent charity, M&M was already one of the three largest theatre history archives in the country. In 2009, when it became clear its operation was no longer financially viable, the Trustees began the process of finding the most appropriate new home for the collection. In December 2010 it was legally transferred, in its entirety to the University of Bristol Theatre Collection, and following this acquisition we believe, the joint collections now form the second largest British Theatre History archive in the world.
What the collection holds
At the heart of the collection are 1,500 "reference boxes". These contain a myriad of information and material including playbills, posters, programmes, engravings, news cuttings, photographs, scripts, correspondence, prompt copies, designs and more, dating from the early 18th century. Thematically arranged, the boxes cover, every actor, director, producer, writer, composer and musician of note over the last 200 years alongside all London and many regional theatres. Most importantly, the often neglected areas of popular entertainment are very well documented including sections on individual entertainers, circus acts (acrobats, trapeze, Indian acts etc), Music Hall, Variety, puppets, minstrels, toy theatres, speciality acts (jugglers, ventriloquists, dwarfs(!)), magic and comedy. Many of these are areas that have rarely been documented or collected before and consequently it is extremely important to catalogue them and make available to the maximum range of users.
In addition to the reference boxes, there are another 1,000 boxes of personal archives containing ephemera, costumes, artwork, audio recordings objects, props and much more. The material was collected through sales, auctions and donations from friends such as Noel Coward, Sir John Gielgud, Somerset Maugham, Angus McBean and Dame Sybil Thorndike. The whole collection is particularly strong in 18th and 19th century theatre history, although it continues up to the present day, and was used by its creators to write no fewer than 19 books on theatrical subjects including Hamlet through the Ages; The Gay Twenties; The Theatres of London and The Lost Theatres of London which are all still widely referred to today. In addition, images of documents and photographs from M&M have been consistently and frequently used in a wide range of other peoples publications - both academic and coffee table - over the last 40 years and continue to be so. The media also make regular use of the visual material held within M&M.
The Mander & Mitchenson Reference Box Collection has been catalogued with support from the National Cataloguing Grants Programme for Archives.
The online catalogue for this collection can be viewed here:
MM - Mander & Mitchenson Collection.
The rest of the Mander & Mitchenson Collection is being assessed and prioritised for cataloguing. The catalogues for
Greater London Theatres (Office document, 89kB),
Inner London Theatres (Office document, 551kB),
Regional Theatres (Office document, 297kB),
Actors (Office document, 406kB), and
Early Actors (Office document, 22kB) can be viewed here.
A list of the entire Reference Box Collection (PDF, 259kB) is also available
Photographs from the Mander & Mitchenson Collection may be ordered through ArenaPAL (+44 (0) 20 7403 8542), but only of items for which images are already available.

I feel like Dora the Explorer as we have a mission to accomplish today in our beloved Mandurah.
If you check out this school of fish mural, can you find a very tiny door?
But Mei mei & I found it first!
Tada! Door number 4 is our first door.
We found a red door too.
Then I decided to tell my bestie C to come along with my adventure. And this time with a proper map.
Off we go for treasure hunting!
We got sidetracked and decided to pose for funny faces instead.
Look! We found door number 8!
Fluttershy decided to knock on the door.
Rainbow Dash decided to crash the party too.
Let's make funny faces again.
Not sure which door number this is but hey my Fluttershy and C's Rainbow Dash are having fun.
I think we are guarding the door from err.. any villians from My Little Pony!
Door number 9. Tick. And Mei mei's Pinkie Pie is joining in the fun too!
No doors here but this is still a great sculpture.
Whew. I think we need an ice-cream break.
Yup. Pinkie Pie definitely likes strawberry ice-cream.
And we like the GIANT ice-cream. Yum!
We finally found the hardest door - Door number 10!
Well that's it for our great tiny door adventure. Hope you enjoy the journey with us too.
PS. Thumbs up for C and her daddy for joining us with our adventures!

US conductor Martin Piecuch to give a concert in Moscow
Society » Showbiz
Prominent American conductor Martin Piecuch will conduct the State Symphony Orchestra of Russia at the Tchaikovsky Hall on Tuesday.
On the program of that evening will be works by Brahms - his first symphony, "Hungarian Dances and the concert for violin and cello. The solo parts will be performed by Alexander Trostyansky (violin) and Denis Shapovalov (cello).
Martin Piecuch has come to Moscow at the invitation of Vladimir Ponkin who heads the State Symphony Orchestra and beginning with the current season is the main conductor of the Gelikon-0pera theatre. As Vladimir Ponkin said at a press conference on Monday, what particularly interests him is the width of Piecuch's artistic views, his emotionality, original techniques and ability to "squeeze" the maximum out of the orchestra. "This is a real find for the Moscow public," said Ponkin, adding that Gelikon-Opera has several proposals for Martin Piecuch on jointly working..
Martin Piecuch is a graduate of the Catholic American University, he specializes in saxophone playing and conducting, got a BA in art and holds a Master's degree in conducting. During his career he has conducted over 800 operas and also 25 musicals, many of which are the most popular works of the genre not only in the USA, but also elsewhere in the world.
Being art director and conductor of the Washington Symphonic Orchestra, Piecuch created an international orchestra which includes, apart from Americans, also musicians from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Russia.
As Martin Piecuch said at the press-conference, he considers Russian musicians to be extremely talented people. Recalling that in his orchestra he has 9 Russian string musicians, the conductor said that "he knows exactly" that Russians are the best string musicians in the world. "My performance in Moscow and in Russia, in general, is my sixth visit to that country and it is a happy event, with its highlight the possibility of exchanging cultural values between our countries," stressed Piecuch. He also noted that he considers music education and the very method of teaching music in Russia to be unique.

Q: Undefined reference to sqrt (or other mathematical functions) I have this simple code:
max = (int) sqrt (number);

and in the header I have:
#include <math.h>

But application still says undefined reference to sqrt. Do you see any problem here? It looks like everything should be okay.

A: Just adding the #include <math.h> in c source file and -lm  in Makefile at the end will work for me.
    gcc -pthread -o p3 p3.c -lm

A: I suppose you have imported math.h with #include <math.h>
So the only other reason I can see is a missing linking information. You must link your code with the -lm option.
If you're simply trying to compile one file with gcc, just add -lm to your command line, otherwise, give some informations about your building process.

A: Here are my observation, firstly you need to include the header math.h as sqrt() function declared in math.h header file. For e.g
#include <math.h>

secondly, if you read manual page of sqrt you will notice this line Link with -lm.
#include <math.h> /* header file you need to include */

double sqrt(double x); /* prototype of sqrt() function */

Link with -lm. /* Library linking instruction */

But application still says undefined reference to sqrt. Do you see any
  problem here?

Compiler error is correct as you haven't linked your program with library lm & linker is unable to find reference of sqrt(), you need to link it explicitly. For e.g
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic test.c -lm

A: You may find that you have to link with the math libraries on whatever system you're using, something like:
gcc -o myprog myprog.c -L/path/to/libs -lm
                                       ^^^ - this bit here.

Including headers lets a compiler know about function declarations but it does not necessarily automatically link to the code required to perform that function.
Failing that, you'll need to show us your code, your compile command and the platform you're running on (operating system, compiler, etc).
The following code compiles and links fine:
#include <math.h>
int main (void) {
    int max = sqrt (9);
    return 0;
}

Just be aware that some compilation systems depend on the order in which libraries are given on the command line. By that, I mean they may process the libraries in sequence and only use them to satisfy unresolved symbols at that point in the sequence.
So, for example, given the commands:
gcc -o plugh plugh.o -lxyzzy
gcc -o plugh -lxyzzy plugh.o

and plugh.o requires something from the xyzzy library, the second may not work as you expect. At the point where you list the library, there are no unresolved symbols to satisfy.
And when the unresolved symbols from plugh.o do appear, it's too late.

A: I had the same issue, but I simply solved it by adding -lm after the command that runs my code.
Example.
gcc code.c -lm

Tax Time = Time to Opt-Out of Obamacare
Citizens' Council for Health Freedom Says One of 9 Exemptions Will Protect Americans from Tax Penalties
PAUL, Minn.—As we begin the month of April, many Americans begrudgingly work to finish preparing their tax returns for the 2017 year. For many, because Obamacare penalties are not zeroed out until 2019, there's special attention directed towards the Affordable Care Act and the tax penalties associated with going uninsured.
But one organization reminds Americans there are many ways an individual can opt-out of Obamacare's individual mandate and legally avoid paying any tax penalty. Shockingly, many people are unaware of the opt-out options.
Citizens' Council for Health Freedom (CCHF, www.cchfreedom.org), a Minnesota-based national organization dedicated to preserving patient-centered health care and protecting patient and privacy rights, says Americans should apply for an exemption using their tax return. There are 9 primary exemptions, including14 hardship waivers, all of which will protect them from the tax penalty and won't force them into buying coverage they don't want and can't afford.
"The federal government says individuals who didn't apply for an exemption before the start of 2017 should apply for it when they file their tax return in 2018," said CCHF president and co-founder Twila Brase. "There are nine primary exemptions and 14 hardship exemptions. Americans should take advantage of these options to avoid being penalized. For example, there are exemptions for lack of affordability and health sharing. There's an exemption for 'another hardship' that made it difficult to obtain coverage. There's really no reason for anyone to pay the penalty for these next two years."
Other hardship waiver exemptions include:
You had medical expenses you couldn't pay that resulted in substantial debt.
You experienced the death of a family member
You experienced another hardship in obtaining insurance.
You experienced unexpected increases in necessary expenses due to caring for an ill, disabled or aging family member.
You received a shut-off notice from a utility company
For a list of Obamacare's nine primary exemptions and a link to the 14 hardship exemptions, visit CCHF's web site.
