The Sahraoui activist Mustapha Weld Sidi Mouloud who is exiled from Tindouf Camps in Algeria for two years and a half so far in Mauritania declared that he will enter in an open hunger strike in front of the delegation of the High Commission for Refugee Aid in Nouakchott starting from May 20th, until the settlement of his status.
Mustapha Salma said in a statement issued on Sunday, May 19 that he made this decision after exhausting all the means of legal communication with the parties concerned with the settlement of his status at the level of the offices of the High Commission of Refugee Aid and the authorities of Mauritania. He noted that he hasn?t yet got any positive response concerning his request to get a passport and his right and the right of his family to reunite and live together in normal circumstances.
The decision of hunger strike comes, according to the statement, ?in waiting for the High Commission of Refugee Aid to fulfill its commitment to finding a solution which may bring my family together after two years and a half of separation and sufferance following my prevention from returning to my children in the Sahraoui refugee camps on the Algerian territory and my exile to Mauritania.?
Mustapha Salma held all the parties concerned with his plight responsible for forcing him to take such a decision and for what might result out of it ?due to their procrastination in the search of a plausible solution and the ignorance they pay to the inhumane conditions that [he]and [his] children undergo.? He appealed to people of conscience in the world to support his right to mobility and the right of his family to reunite with him.
Following his ?explicit support? of the Moroccan proposal meant to resolve the conflict in the Sahara on the basis of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty; Mr. Mustapha Salma Weld Sidi Mouloud was kidnapped on September 21st, 2010 by the militias of Polisario upon arrival at the border checkpoint leading to the Tindouf camps and was held in a secret location.
The Sahraoui militant, who served as the General Inspector of the police of Polisario, was released at the end of 2010 and handed to the High Commission of Refugee Aid in Mauritania after an international campaign for his release.

(Reuters) - Vermont on Monday became the fourth U.S. state to end legal penalties for doctors who prescribe medication to terminally ill patients seeking to end their own lives.
The law, which includes a number of safeguards over the next three years as the state adapts, marked the first time a U.S. state has used the legislative process to make assisted suicide legal. Oregon and Washington have similar laws passed through ballot measures and a Montana court authorized the practice in 2009.
"Vermonters who face terminal illness and are in excruciating pain at the end of their lives now have control over their destinies. This is the right thing to do," said Governor Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, who signed the law on Monday.
Supporters of the practice are hoping Vermont's law will lend momentum in other states, such as Connecticut and New Jersey, that have considered similar legislation. A bill legalizing the practice failed in Massachusetts last year.
The law allows physicians to prescribe death-inducing medications, which terminally ill patients wishing to commit suicide could then administer to themselves. It limits the prescriptions to residents of the state.
"Vermont's law reflects another normalization of the practice of aid in dying in the practice of medicine," said Kathryn Tucker, director of legal affairs at Compassion and Choices, a group that backed the Vermont law. "Support for patients to be empowered and choose aid and dying is growing. So I think this is an important step in moving that forward."
The Vermont bill is more sweeping than the initiatives passed in Oregon or Washington. As in those two states, it provides a number of safeguards - though the Vermont bill calls for these to expire in 2016.
During the first three years, the law requires ailing patients to make three requests for death-inducing drugs. Both the patient's primary physician and a consulting doctor must agree the patient is suffering from a terminal illness and is capable of making an informed decision to request death-inducing drugs.
After July 1, 2016, the practice of prescribing life-ending medication will be overseen by professional practice standards that govern physician conduct in other aspects of medicine.
The two-tiered approach was instituted as a compromise between legislators who preferred Oregon's model of legal safeguards and others who objected to what they saw as government interference in end-of-life decisions.
Advocates of assisted suicide say the practice can save years of suffering for patients of painful terminal illnesses, such as bone cancer. Opponents warn that measures allowing it may encourage people to take their own lives at the behest of potential heirs or because they fear they are imposing a burden on family.
True Dignity Vermont, a group that opposed the Vermont law, said it would work with a network of health care providers to help support alternatives to the terminally ill.
"We now have state-sanctioned suicide in Vermont," said Edward Mahoney, president of the group, in a statement. "If the state won't protect Vermonters, we will try."

The iPhone 5 launched to record sales figures; 5 million units sold to customers in the first three days. Samsung's Galaxy S4 has also launched to strong figures; 10 million units shipped in the first 4 weeks. One of these was a 'disappointment,' yet the other is hailed as a triumph. Seems crazy? Well, maybe it is.
For Samsung, 10 million units shipped makes it their fastest selling smartphone release ever, so for the folks from Korea at least, it is indeed a triumph. But, Apple sold -- not shipped -- 5 million units of the iPhone 5 in the first 3 days. Yet compare these two headlines from Businessinsider:
iPhone 5 opening weekend sales come in worse than expected
Samsung's S4 starts strong: 10 million units in less than a month
One story portrays doom and gloom, and the other a more jubilant atmosphere. Analysts called 6 million units for the iPhone 5 the "worst case scenario" for Apple's opening weekend. And yet, they hit half Samsung's first month sales within three days.
We're not going to knock Samsung's figures, 10 million is a lot of phones. But, it does again ask the question; just how much is 'enough' for Apple?

This custom-made electric guitar played by the late John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles recently sold at auction.
A custom-made electric guitar played by the late John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles sold at a New York auction on Saturday for $408,000, said officials with the company behind the event.
The semi-hollow-body guitar, manufactured by the VOX company, was sold to an unidentified U.S. buyer at the "Music Icons" event organized by Beverly Hills, California-based Julien's Auctions and held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan.
Julien's said previously it expected the guitar, which was the centerpiece of Saturday's sale, to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000.
Harrison played the instrument, distinguished by two symmetrical flared shoulders on the upper body, while practicing "I Am The Walrus," and Lennon used it in a video session for the song "Hello, Goodbye," according to a statement from Julien's Auctions.
Both songs were on the Beatles' 1967 album "Magical Mystery Tour."
The VOX guitar was a prototype instrument custom-built for Lennon in 1966, said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's. Lennon gave the VOX guitar as a gift in 1967 to Yanni "Magic Alex" Mardas, who was the electronics engineer for the band's Apple Records label, the auction house said.
The instrument, displayed in recent weeks at a museum in Ireland before the sale, was sold a few years ago by Christie's Auction House for a little over $100,000. Nolan said the latest buyer, who sent a representative to Saturday's auction to bid on his behalf, wished to remain anonymous.
Lennon was shot to death in New York in 1980 by a deranged fan, and Harrison died of lung cancer in Los Angeles in 2001. The surviving members of the Beatles are Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

CANNES, France (AP) ? Little could lessen the fever-pitched excitement for "Hunger Games: Catching Fire," but heavy rain nevertheless dampened the film's lavish Cannes party.
Stars of the "Hunger Games" sequel, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Sam Clafin, arrived Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival. "Catching Fire," perhaps more than any other film not actually screening at Cannes, is seeking to use the festival's global platform to promote the highly anticipated sequel.
Digital flame billboards have constantly burned by the Majestic Barriere hotel. The cast posed for photographers Saturday. And in the evening, Lionsgate held a lavish soiree beside the beach on the Croisette, complete with flowing liquid chocolate and parading models dressed in the film's ornate costumes.
But a planned stunt at the party to promote the film was scuttled due to the poor weather that has plagued the first five days of the French Riviera festival. Lawrence made an enthusiastic appearance, but later fled, grimacing ? like other guests ? at the cold raindrops.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" will be released in late November.

While standing as the 2nd largest city in Krona, it still holds the place as the most visited city in all of Krona. The reason being that it is the center fold for marketing and trade in all of Krona, even having some goods that are brought in from the other countries. In some shadier parts of the city, one can even find stolen goods and hidden black markets up for sale. Being the main places for buying and selling almost any good or equipment, it attracts the attention of citizens and visitors of Krona.

Are you convinced that you can start over at any age, despite your current circumstances? Have you ever wished you could go back to a certain age and start all over? Have you thought, ?Wow, I wish I could go back to 18 and know what I know now. I would do things so different!? I?m sure many of us have and while we can?t physically go back to 18 and start over, you can start over in various ways not matter what your age is.
I?ve heard of businessmen who had a highly successful business, lost it, and then started over and rebuilt another successful business. How? They knew what principles to use and weren?t afraid to start over. They didn?t necessarily perceive their loss to be a failure. They moved forward despite fear, ridicule, anger, regret, etc.
Clean your slate
No matter where you are in life, you can adopt the attitude that you can clean your slate and start over if you?re not happy in an area. Are you not happy with your current career? Why can?t you start over and choose a career that you?d love? The answer is that you can. People go through career changes all the time and the reason they?re successful is because they set their goal, create a plan to achieve that goal, and actually take action.
Many people get caught up in the uncertainty and what ifs and never get farther than the dream of something new. You?re last relationship hit you hard? You wish you could just start over without any bitterness, hurt, or fear? You can. You can make a decision to give yourself a brand new start today.
When you were 18 you probably didn?t have a bunch of goals and plans. You most likely didn?t have a bunch of wisdom either because that tends to come as we age. No matter what you?ve been through, no matter how young or old you are, you can do some things different and start over.
Make a plan
I encourage you to take some time to do a life reality check. Answer some of these questions:
Am I really happy in life?
Do I like my career?
Am I happy in my relationship?
What would I do differently if I could really start over?
Am I really living the life I want?
Am I willing to do what it takes to create a life I love?
Will I continue to let the past, obstacles, fear, shame, etc. to hold me back?
Why can?t I dream new dreams?
Answer these questions and then make a plan for your life from this day forward. Create goals and some sort of plan to achieve those goals. For example, if you?re not happy with your current job, you?ve got to make a decision as to what job you would like and then sit down and write out how you can make it happen. Don?t worry if you don?t know all the details right now, how the money for school will come, or how you?ll be able to fit it all into your schedule. Just do the footwork and begin taking little steps. I think you?ll be surprised at how things start coming together. It?s the faith and action toward your goal that propels you and creates momentum to actually make progress.
Let the past go
It?s important that you bid adieu to the past; the mistakes, the losses, the regret, shame, and so on. All you have is the present and the future. Enjoy your present and look forward to a bright future. Make it what you want it to be. If you need help, by all means ask for help. There are professional Life Coaches that would love to come alongside you and give you some guidance and accountability. You?re certainly worth the investment.
You have my permission to start over no matter what your past has been, no matter what your present looks like, and no matter what age you are. Adopt a ?can do? attitude and watch great things unfold right before your eyes. Go ahead and create a life you love.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) ? The commuter train derailment and collision that left dozens injured outside New York City was not the result of foul play, officials said Saturday, but a fractured section of rail is being studied to determine if it is connected to the accident.
National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener said Saturday the broken rail is of substantial interest to investigators and a portion of the track will be sent to a lab for analysis.
Weener said it's not clear if the accident caused the fracture or if the rail was broken before the crash. He said he won't speculate on the cause of the derailment and emphasized the investigation was in its early stages.
Seventy-two people were sent to the hospital Friday evening after a Metro-North train heading east from New York City derailed and was hit by a train heading west from New Haven. Most have been discharged.
Officials earlier described devastating damage and said it was fortunate no one was killed.
"All of the injured people described the really harrowing experience of having the train jolt to a stop, the dust, darkness, other kinds of factors that made it particularly frightening," said U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who visited several patients in the hospital.
Blumenthal said a Metro-North conductor helped passengers despite her own injuries.
"Her story is really one of great strength and courage helping other passengers off the train in spite of her own very severe pain," Blumenthal said. "She eventually had to be helped off herself."
The crash damaged the tracks and threatened to snarl travel in the Northeast Corridor. The crash also caused Amtrak to suspend service between New York and Boston.
"The damage is absolutely staggering," Blumenthal said, describing the shattered interior of cars and tons of metal tossed around. "I feel that we are fortunate that even more injuries were not the result of this very tragic and unfortunate accident."
U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy said it was "frankly amazing" people weren't killed on scene.
Both said new Metro-North Railroad cars built with higher standards may have saved lives.
Metro-North said train service will remain suspended between South Norwalk and New Haven until further notice. Railroad officials said rebuilding the two tracks and restore train service "will take well into next week."
"We want our customers to know that while you travel on Metro-North, you can remain confident that your safety, and the safety of our employees, is always the first priority in everything we do," said Howard Permut, President of MTA Metro-North Railroad.
NTSB investigators arrived Saturday and are expected to be on site for seven to 10 days. They will look at the brakes and performance of the trains, the condition of the tracks, crew performance and train signal information, among other things.
When the NTSB has concluded the on-site phase of its investigation, Metro-North will begin to remove the damaged rail cars and remaining debris. The process requires specialized, heavy equipment that will be in place by Sunday, officials said. Only after the damaged train cars have been removed can Metro-North begin the work of rebuilding the damaged tracks and overhead wires.
"It is a significant undertaking that could take days to complete," MTA said in a statement.
The NTSB has allowed Metro-North to begin removing some of the track and wire from the scene.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said commuters should make plans for alternative travel through the area and urged them to consult the state Department of Transportation website for information.
Weener said data recorders on board are expected to provide the speed of the trains at the time of the crash and other information.
"Our mission is to understand not just what happened but why it happened and determine ways of preventing it from happening again," Weener said.
About 700 people were on board the Metro-North trains when one heading east from New York City's Grand Central Terminal to New Haven derailed at about 6:10 p.m. just outside Bridgeport, transit and Bridgeport officials said. Passengers described a chaotic, terrifying scene of crunching metal and flying bodies.
A spokeswoman for St. Vincent Medical Center said late Saturday that 46 people from the crash were treated there, with six of them admitted. All were in stable condition, she said.
A Bridgeport Hospital spokesman said 26 people from the crash were treated there, with three of them admitted. One was in critical condition and two were in stable condition, he said. The other 23 were released.
Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch said the disruption caused by the crash could cost the region's economy millions of dollars.
Passenger Frank Bilotti said he was returning from a business trip in Boston on the westbound train when it crashed.
"Everybody was pretty much tossed around," said Bilotti, 53, of Westport, who wasn't injured other than a sore neck.
Firefighters used ladders to help people evacuate after the derailed cars dug into the banks of the tracks, Bilotti said.
"There were people on stretchers," he said. "There were people lying on the ground."
Blumenthal credited first responders, saying their "quick reactions and heroic efforts undoubtedly saved lives."
The MTA operates the Metro-North Railroad, the second-largest commuter railroad in the nation. The Metro-North main lines ? the Hudson, Harlem, and New Haven ? run northward from New York City's Grand Central Terminal into suburban New York and Connecticut.
At Grand Central, Frances Liu and her family were trying to get to New Haven, where Liu is graduating from Yale. A train could get them only as far north as Stamford.
"And then we'll rent a car and drive," she said.
Liu's parents had flown in from China for her graduation and were touring the country around her commencement. But the car-rental plan could face a snag ? Liu never got a driver's license, although her parents had their Chinese licenses.
"My mom can drive. So I hope it'll be OK!" Liu said as she rushed off to decide on a train.
The last significant train collision involving Metro-North occurred in 1988 when a train engineer was killed in Mount Vernon, N.Y., when one train empty of passengers rear-ended another, railroad officials said.

Google I/O is always full of surprises, and we came across yet another elusive bit of hardware on the show floor today: Google Glass "prescription edition". No, it's not actually called that (we made up the name), but what you're looking at is definitely Glass that's been neatly integrated with a pair of prescription glasses -- in fact, it looks a lot like the version of Glass that Google recently mentioned on its blog. We don't really know anything else about this device, but we've reached out to Google for comment. Is this a custom design built by combining Google Glass Explorer Edition with off-the shelf eyewear? Is this a Glass prototype that's designed specifically for people who wear prescription spectacles? Share your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to check out the gallery below.
Update: Google's confirmed it's a prototype the company's experimented with that uses the same software as the Explorer Edition but slightly different hardware on the outside.

Snoring is an indicator of other health problems, and can be more than just a nuisance. There are various causes of snoring, and that is completely dependent upon the individual. Review the piece that follows to get a sense of what may be causing your snoring, and what solutions might be available.
If you want to snore less and sleep more, try some snoring strips. These strips are difficult to see, if they are applied properly, and minimize snoring by keeping nasal passages clean so you breathe through your mouth. Even professional athletes utilize nasal strips to increase their performance.
Put on nasal strips before sleeping to reduce your snoring. A simple strip of adhesive paper will lie on your nose, pulling your nostrils up and allowing more fresh air to enter your airway. Professional athletes often use these while they compete, so they must work well!
If you suffer from snoring, you may wish to purchase nasal strips to use while sleeping. They open your nose and allow air to flow freely into your lungs. As a result, the amount that you snore will decrease on a drastic level.
Dairy products can cause snoring even if you are not lactose intolerant. The reason for this is that when you consume dairy foodstuffs, phlegm is produced. This can block your airway not only in the throat, but also in the nose. An alternative to a glass of milk before bed can be herbal tea with a dollop of honey.
Talk about only seeing the tip of the iceberg; but that is what we have presented so far about snoring ? there is so much out there. When you are feeling a little more comfortable with this information, then you simply must continue your education. We have always found that the more we learn about something, there are opportunities that become apparent that we did not know about. Knowledge really does empower people, when they use it, and yes we know that may sound a little cliche. We all want to have as much control as possible, even though we know we cannot control everything, but still ? knowledge lets you be in a position to respond better to events.
Snoring can cause problems by preventing your partner from sleeping. One of the best things that can be done is to develop a sleep schedule. This way if you both go to bed at the same time, you?re likely to fall asleep at a similar time and your snoring is less likely to bother your partner.
Stay away from sleeping pills and alcohol to prevent snoring, as they can both relax the muscles in your throat, which can cause snoring. These drugs can cause sleep apnea as well, resulting in vulnerability to cardiovascular disease. So, it is wise to avoid both of these substances.
Nasal strips are a wonderful natural remedy that anyone who snores should try. They don?t exactly look great, but they are great at keeping your airways open, which means it?s easier to breathe. Nasal strips pull your nasal passages open, and keeps them in this postion for optimal airflow. They contain no medication and are safe to use.
The exercise of sliding your tongue along the backside of your front top teeth may help reduce snoring. Slide your tongue backwards, and then bring it up back against your teeth; do this for three minutes. When you exercise the muscles this way, your passageways will remain open, and the chances of snoring will be reduced.
Turn over to sleep on one side at night to cut down on snoring. Sleeping on your back makes it more likely that you will snore. Furthermore, if you sleep on your stomach, you are more prone to neck stress. For these reasons, being bilateral is the optimal position for sleeping.
Hopefully, you are now more aware as to what is causing your partner, or you, to snore. The article that you have just read offered you some great tips on remedying common causes of snoring, but if you believe that your snoring problems are the result of an underlying health issue, then you should see a doctor right away.
It matters not how much you feel you are informed about zquiet and even on zquiet review, see this informative site to be entertained with really necessary information.

While "Jimmy Kimmel Live" isn't necessarily known for its sweet approach to babies or children (Kimmel routinely exhorts parents to prank their kids and capture it on camera for yuks), on Thursday night he managed to blend a spoof of "The Bachelor/The Bachelorette" with a clutch of toddler actors that was, well, downright adorable.
In a spoof of the long-running ABC reality series "The Bachelor," Kimmel lent his voice to a "preview" of a "new" series, "The Baby Bachelor," in which Wesley, a very young man just looking for a play date has to choose between a collection of similarly youthful ladies. And they're just as much of a handful as their grown-up counterparts, as demonstrated by the lovely blonde who just can't stop crying. Wesley not only gives her a hug but a peck on the cheek, to no avail.
Women!
Then of course there's always one: 35-month-old Jesse is a "stay-at-home daughter" who is "looking for a sugar daddy."
Who will accept Wesley's offer of a dinosaur toy? Check out the video for all of the cute overload!

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? O.J. Simpson's former lawyer has some explaining to do.
Miami attorney Yale Galanter is scheduled to testify Friday in Simpson's bid for a new trial.
Galanter, according to Simpson, advised the former football star that it was his legal right to retrieve personal items from two memorabilia dealers; told Simpson not to testify in the Las Vegas trial that eventually sent him to prison; failed to tell Simpson that prosecutors offered plea deals; and failed to raise the issue of ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Galanter hasn't been subpoenaed, so he isn't compelled to appear.
He is invited as a key state's witness in a hearing that, since Monday, has revolved around Galanter's promises, payments and performance in the 2008 trial that sent the 65-year-old former football hero to prison for nine to 33 years for armed robbery and kidnapping.
H. Leon Simon, the chief deputy Clark County district attorney handling the case, said he and Galanter have what amounts to a gentleman's agreement for Galanter to come to Las Vegas.
"I take him at his word," Simon said. "He has assured me he wants to come and testify, as an officer of the court."
Galanter faces some uncomfortable questions about his trial preparation, the nearly $700,000 he was paid but allegedly didn't share with the Las Vegas lawyer at his side and why he didn't try to block prosecutors from playing for the jury secret recordings that amounted to a soundtrack of Simpson and his five pals confronting two sports collectibles brokers and a middleman in a cramped casino hotel room.
Jim Barnett, owner of a Las Vegas home where Simpson stayed during trial in September 2008, said he asked Galanter why he wasn't hiring an expert to analyze the recording.
"He said, 'If you would give us $250,000, we would have it done. We don't have the money to analyze the tapes," Barnett testified.
Galanter later assured the trial judge that the tapes had been analyzed.
He also faces questions about what he knew about Simpson's plan, when he knew it, and whether he should have told what he knew to get Simpson off the hook.
"He's a vital witness," said veteran Las Vegas trial lawyer Dayvid Figler. "He has information that no one can share."
Galanter said this week that he wouldn't comment about the hearing until after he testifies.
Las Vegas attorney Michael Cristalli, who has provided television network analysis of the Simpson hearings, said he expected Galanter will say he did his best in Simpson's case.
"He'll say he provided effective representation of Mr. Simpson, that he examined every witness zealously, and that he prepared exhaustively," Cristalli said, "and that there's no evidence to the contrary."
Simpson still maintains that he didn't know anyone in the hotel room had guns, and that he had a right to the items he was after ? football mementos, awards, photos and personal items that he said were stolen from him while he was moving out of his Los Angeles home.
The move followed Simpson's "trial of the century" acquittal in the 1994 the slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, and a 1997 civil judgment that ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the estates of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
"I talked to Yale about it two or three times," Simpson said during his testimony Wednesday. "The overall advice he was giving was, 'You have a right to get your stuff.'"
Key among Simpson's 19 claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and conflict of interest being considered by District Court Judge Linda Marie Bell is the allegation that Galanter should have provided witness testimony supporting Simpson's contention that he didn't know he was breaking the law.
Simpson says the two even talked about it over dinner the night before the ill-fated confrontation in September 2007, and that Galanter told him that if Simpson recovered the suit he wore the day he was acquitted in Los Angeles, Galanter would like to have it.
Bell has made no indication whether she plans an immediate ruling or will issue a written decision later.
The most damaging testimony about Galanter's performance came from three other lawyers involved in the case: Gabriel Grasso and Malcolm LaVergne, who represented Simpson, and Brent Bryson, who represented a Simpson co-defendant who also was convicted.
Each said Galanter seemed more interested in what he was paid and protecting himself from having to testify than in fully representing his client.
LaVergne, who argued with Galanter when both worked on Simpson's appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court, testified Thursday that he believed Galanter's involvement shaped his trial strategy.
But stepping away from the case would have cost Galanter hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees.
"Do you think Mr. Galanter made decisions based on a conflict of interest?" Simpson lawyer Patricia Palm asked.
"From what I know now, absolutely," LaVergne said. "There's no doubt about it."

Walking barefoot may be liberating but it can cause cracked heels. Whether it is at home or outdoors, walking barefoot or in chappals or flip flops can cause fissures around the heel. If you feel that your skin around the heel is hardening, then here?s what you need to know on what causes cracked heels, how to prevent it and remedies to cure it.
In summer, we tend to walk around barefoot at home or the beach, which makes your skin prone to dry air. This causes callus which leads to fissures or cracked heel. If you continue to engage in activities without any precautions and remedies, the cracks will widen and grow deeper. Lack of care can be painful and can lead to bleeding and infection. Inactive sweat glands are also one of the reasons for causing cracked heel.
How to prevent and cure cracked heels:
1) Moisturise your feet regularly so that they remain soft and avoid a build up of dry skin.
2) Before you hit the bed, moisturise your feet and put on a pair of socks to nourish the skin on your feet.
3) You can also scrub off the dry skin with pumice, but gently. This will decrease the occurrence of dead cells and dry skin and reduce the thickness of the dry skin around the heel.
4) Choose a good pair shoes:
- Avoid thin soles
- Avoid open back shoes
- Avoid walking barefoot
5) Maintain the hygiene of your feet at all times to prevent infection.
6) Do not walk in an open pair of shoes if you have cracked heels. Also wear socks to avoid infection.
7) Drink water to keep your skin hydrated.
Prevent cracked heels before it is too late. Timely measure is the way to prevent cracked heels. Moisturising, scrubbing and a proper pair of shoes can help you maintain the hygiene of your feet.

May 16, 2013 ? The type of sensors that pick up the rhythm of a beating heart in implanted cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers are vulnerable to tampering, according to a new study conducted in controlled laboratory conditions.
Implantable defibrillators monitor the heart for irregular beating and, when necessary, administer an electric shock to bring it back into normal rhythm. Pacemakers use electrical pulses to continuously keep the heart in pace.
In experiments in simulated human models, an international team of researchers demonstrated that they could forge an erratic heartbeat with radio frequency electromagnetic waves. Theoretically, a false signal like the one they created could inhibit needed pacing or induce unnecessary defibrillation shocks.
The team includes researchers from the University of Michigan, University of South Carolina, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, University of Minnesota, University of Massachusetts and Harvard Medical School.
The researchers emphasize that they know of no case where a hacker has corrupted an implanted cardiac device, and doing so in the real world would be extremely difficult.
"Security is often an arms race with adversaries," said Wenyuan Xu, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of South Carolina. "As researchers, it's our responsibility to always challenge the common practice and find defenses for vulnerabilities that could be exploited before unfortunate incidents happen. We hope our research findings can help to enhance the security of sensing systems that will emerge for years to come."
This is not the first time vulnerabilities have been identified in implantable medical devices. But the findings reveal new security risks in relatively common "analog" sensors -- sensors that rely on inputs from the human body or the environment to cue particular actions.
Beyond medical devices, analog sensors are also used in microphones in Bluetooth headsets and computers in web-based phone calls. In those places, too, the researchers discovered vulnerabilities.
"We found that these analog devices generally trust what they receive from their sensors, and that path is weak and could be exploited," said Denis Foo Kune, U-M postdoctoral researcher and visiting scholar in computer science and engineering, who will present the findings May 20 at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy in San Francisco.
uAlthough these medical systems and consumer electronics have security mechanisms, the information the analog sensors receive bypasses their safety layers. The devices convert the input from the sensors directly into digital information that they use to make quick decisions.
In the category of medical devices, the researchers tested cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers in open air to determine which radio waveforms could cause interference. Then they exposed the medical devices to those waveforms in a both a saline bath and a patient simulator. The experiments suggest that the human body likely acts as a shield, protecting the medical devices to a large degree, the researchers said.
They found that in the saline bath and the patient simulator, a perpetrator would need to be within five centimeters -- about two inches -- away to cause interference. Current guidelines instruct patients to keep potential sources of interference at least 27 centimeters, or 10.5 inches, away from their chest.
"People with pacemakers and defibrillators can remain confident in the safety and effectiveness of their implants," said Kevin Fu, U-M associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science. "Patients already protect themselves from interference by keeping transmitters like phones away from their implants. The problem is that emerging medical sensors worn on the body, rather than implanted, could be more susceptible to this type of interference."
The team proposes solutions to help the sensors ensure that the signals they're receiving are authentic. Software could, in a sense, ping the cardiac tissue to determine whether the previous pulse came from the heart or from interference. If the source was not the heart, the software could raise a red flag.
The researchers also found pathways to tamper with consumer electronics. They were able to use specific radio signals to convince the mic on a phone paired with a Bluetooth headset that a caller was dialing touch-tone selections at an automated banking line. They demonstrated this by changing the call language from English to Spanish.
Foo Kune said the technique could conceivably enable more harmful scenarios such as fraudulent money transfers. In another experiment, they canceled out speech on one side of a web-based phone call and replaced it with a song (Weezer's "Island in the Sun").
"The microphone was receiving the song even though the room was silent," Foo Kune said.
"This type of interference can be prevented with shields and filters like those seen today in military-grade equipment," said Yongdae Kim, professor of electrical engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. "Safety critical systems, such as smart grids and automated vehicles, rely more and more on sensing technology for their accurate operation. Malicious input signals with improved antenna and power may cause serious safety problems."
Last week, the Archimedes Center for Medical Device Security at U-M held a private briefing and problem solving session for medical device manufacturers and trauma centers. The paper is called "Ghost Talk: Mitigating EMI Signal Injection Attacks against Analog Sensors."

While applying with the Internal Revenue Service for tax-exempt status in 2009, an Iowa-based anti-abortion group was asked to provide information about its members' prayer meetings, documents sent by an IRS official to the organization reveal.
On June 22, 2009, the Coalition for Life of Iowa received a letter from the IRS office in Cincinnati, Ohio, that oversees tax exemptions requesting details about how often members pray and whether their prayers are "considered educational."
"Please explain how all of your activities, including the prayer meetings held outside of Planned Parenthood, are considered educational as defined under 501(c)(3)," reads the letter, made public by the Thomas More Society, a public interest law firm that collected evidence about the IRS practices. "Organizations exempt under 501(c)(3) may present opinions with scientific or medical facts. Please explain in detail the activities at these prayer meetings. Also, please provide the percentage of time your organizations spends on prayer groups as compared with the other activities of the organization."
The IRS is currently under fire for allegedly targeting conservative groups that applied for nonprofit status in recent years. In response, two IRS officials have stepped down, including Acting Commissioner Steven Miller.
That portion of the questionnaire, in which the IRS also asked about signs the group intended to carry at rallies at Planned Parenthood offices, is below:

In response, the group's attorneys at Mosher & Associates, a firm based in Chicago, responded:
...
During a Ways and Means Committee hearing Friday on Capitol Hill, Illinois Republican Rep. Aaron Schock asked Miller specifically about the Campaign for Life of Iowa letter from 2009.
?Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501(c)3 applicant?? Schock asked. ?The content of one?s prayers??
?It pains me to say I can?t speak to that one either,? Miller said. He had said earlier that he would not be able to discuss individual cases during the hearing.
"You don't know whether or not that would be an appropriate question to ask?" Schock replied.
"Speaking outside of this case, which I don't know anything about, it would surprise me that that question was asked," Miller said.

Eminem is just fine, his representatives say.
The text of the Facebook message was grim: "Rapper Eminem left nearly DEAD after being stabbed 4 times in NYC!" But the claim was untrue, and the attached photo of a tattooed man's back with deep slash marks was not a picture of the rapper.
"These happen all the time. He's fine," a representative of the rapper told SPIN.
But the creepy claim gained some traction among music fans anyway, as many who saw it on Facebook and Twitter shared it without verifying the facts.
Those who click on the link, supposedly to see a video of the attack (!), are forced to share the link with their Facebook friends. "After sharing the post, the link redirects to a survey website promising ?free prizes? along with more Eminem stabbing news, which, of course, never comes," the International Business Times reports.
As the International Business Times notes, the same photo of a man's slashed back was used in a similar scam in 2011 to claim that Justin Bieber was stabbed -- he was not.
A new Eminem album is due out soon, and rumors are that it may include an appearance by comic Chris Rock.
