An “offense” in North Korean is often something not punishable, or even second-guessed, in other countries. Offenses can include: listening to a radio station or watching a movie that isn’t approved, practicing a religion, expressing criticism of the government, or leaving the country without permission. Even family ties might be an offense - whole families are incarcerated for the offenses of a single family member for up to three generations. There are no formal charges and there is no trial by jury. One may be abducted and tortured into confession.</div>

Conditions within the gulags are inhumane. Prisoners often suffer from starvation, poor sanitation, and physical deformities from years of forced labor. There is no contact with the outside world, and there are public executions for those who try to escape.</div>

7 Facts You Must Know About Lung Cancer

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEizaN46F-D20NfsatEBSCqA8thQ6evsNUhqQLhxOkO2qirjo3CXaqJTPERYZERD1aDADkyPCcVF6hCznpLJ4QFVZIKmOTRjDUXBQrJXkb797TnRHIGh3jwnMP5AMoJFmVKODfJonBft7TY8mmkQdndb0wxAMQUODHdoW46Tmx-yGyHkn9FAhZXP2_4eoo3n4zqvCK4qAKJp_uiBOIKtOw=" width="640" /><br />

<br />
Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women. With increasing prevalence of smoking, lung cancer has reached epidemic proportions in India. It has surpassed the earlier commonest form of cancer. In addition to smoking, occupational exposure to carcinogens, indoor air pollution and dietary factors have recently been implicated in the causation of lung cancer. Let's look at some basic facts of lung cancer:<br />
<div>
<br />
<b>1. Smoking Is The Leading Risk Factor For Lung Cancer</b><br />
Smoking is the biggest risk factor, for almost 87 per cent of lung cancers are related to smoking. The risk depends on how long one has been <a href="http://www.mensxp.com/special-features/today/23696-this-brilliant-chanting-lighter-may-finally-make-you-quit-smoking.html">smoking</a>, the age when they started and number of tobacco products smoked per day.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>2. Lung Cancer Targets More Than Just Smokers</b></div>
<div>
The greatest risk factor for lung cancer is smoking, but passive smokers can also develop lung cancer. Almost 10 to 15 per cent of lung cancer cases occur in non-smokers, and many of these patients are women.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>3. There Are Two Types Of Lung Cancer</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgo3X3JYuQsCllLblKT_Q0ZxMwtXttqWnG2PVXkZW74ghUh1GQ7odi30SIOce0I1R-CCoXbylLNBQB0y8UzfTcgwDbbxsWl0d-mTyNNViIuCbwGSa-sYzvvHHOQD-5vw3NdH_2ydgTw71gjRIJKo9h_AYdkWcq9PsLONo8_nJ9eNkCxA-K2GvvCgGG_Rv81vbCKqSedRaSgP_2voiQrPg=" /><br />

<br />
Almost 85- 90 per cent of lung cancers are the Non-small Cell type. This cancer grows slowly and does not spread quickly to other organs. The other type, Small Cell Carcinoma, tends to grow faster and spreads to other organs.</div>
<div>
<br />
<b>4. Know The Warning Signs</b></div>
<div>
Both men and women should know the warning signs of lung cancer. They can be subtle but symptoms to be aware of include coughing regularly, shortness of breath, appetite or weight loss, wheezing and coughing blood. If you have these symptoms, see a doctor immediately.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5. CT Screenings Can Save Lives</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgMtsq24pSVJT7Ei5D5NRmZmjuKMmVm1o5GtgqqNMp6hI2xUx3wEvEkY3pMAwc9Q3DldVUaSJdFh7SXDDE9L_ItfxPsNDPjUJBfa_7duoYhzJ7Yt4xjWH4btCNTV4BLfwSyzwS46ZEm23k4_Q9YkOPx2D5c7A8zxG2c2K6d-alnna_YpgC3xDdTdnBCtUv441s7nm9CMzgasJpsjScDSQ=" /><br />

<br />
Detecting lung cancer can be difficult, but now there are improvised screening tests. But results from the National Lung Screening Trial suggest that screening high-risk individuals with low-dose CT scans can detect tumors at an earlier stage, resulting in improved lung cancer survival. Screening is currently recommended for people who are between the ages of 55 and 74 and who have smoked a pack a day for 30 years and quit less than 15 years ago.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>6. New Therapies Show Promise</b></div>
<div>
With updated technology and advanced medication, treatments are available for lung cancer too, depending on cancer type, tumor location, stage and overall health. Options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>7. It's Never Too Late To Quit Smoking</b><br />
<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEirHs-httBdaxCr8G6JfAKbKjj9MKTLw4FOXxZo1wv-w34vmCnkjTyJYduejnFaCjkFhlCkbNN2MYoCVWWByQboMtiLxmm2pqXO3i5KOTv7SqHTQ1RrXo914xutyvSuotttHgpHCgTCfu-YvHph9fuNkWMe5h1TBQ7Zz4ghc3iNzpTwDxwVOanjFpU-jZgLCsLIoyMEX6XkCs0c6gU59Q=" /><br />

<br />
Smoking is injurious to health, even the packets claim so. For those who do <a href="http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-healthy/8994-10-most-fatal-chemicals-in-a-cigarette.html">smoke</a> and decide to quit, within weeks to months the risks of heart attack and lung cancer is reduced.<br />

10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. The continents look entirely different than you think they do.</h3>
The map you're used to is more Western-focused and stretches out the size of continents near the poles. Africa and South America are actually way bigger. Here's a more accurate representation of the world, according to the The Gall-Peters Projection map, created in 1885.<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
2. If you believe that you're truly one in a million, there are still approximately 7,184 more people out there just like you.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395897/thumbs/o-99289703-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
You aren't that special! There are over 7 billion people on the planet right now. Each and every one of them should be treated with respect.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
3. There are castles and even lighthouses that are less expensive than NYC apartments.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="479" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395925/thumbs/o-99289703-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
With New York City rent rising over an average $3,000 a month even in Brooklyn this year, it's becoming more and more appealing to perhaps move somewhere else. If you're one of the lucky ones who has a bit of money to burn, might as well spend it on a real-life castle or lighthouse, right?<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. The United States hasn't even made it into the Top 50 list oflongest-lasting empires.</h3>

<br />
The United States has only been around for a blip in history. Institutions like Bank of America aren't even 100 years old. This doesn't necessarily discount their trustworthiness, but just make sure to remember that not all pillars of authority are eternal.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
5. 10 percent of the entire world population is still illiterate.</h3>
<img alt="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" height="426" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1395972/thumbs/o-171951785-570.jpg?1" title="10 Mindblowing Facts That Will Completely Change Your Perspective On The World - factbunny" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Unfortunately certain countries are also skewing the data upwards on this statistic. Nations such as Afghanistan only have a 28 percent literacy rate for the total population.<br />
<br />

<br />
Labor Day was created as a bandaid to coverup multiple massacres of American workers. Columbus Day is named after a brutal tyrant whose history is largely a fraud.Thanksgiving is a sham celebration of Pilgrims and Native Americans coming together. Really, just don't celebrate anything.<br />

Also rainbows are actually made up of more than 1 million colors, many of which we can't see either. We are missing out!<br />

Through close contact with a symptomatic person's bodily fluids, such as blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva or semen. Those fluids must have an entry point, like a cut or scrape or someone touching the nose, mouth or eyes with contaminated hands, or being splashed. That's why health care workers wear protective gloves and other equipment.</div>

The World Health Organization says blood, feces and vomit are the most infectious fluids, while the virus is found in saliva mostly once patients are severely ill and the whole live virus has never been culled from sweat.</div>

The Texas Department of State Health Services said Sunday that a health-care worker who provided hospital care for the first patient to die from Ebola in the United States has tested positive for the virus. The worker, who was not identified, was wearing full protective gear while attending to the patient during his second visit to the hospital, according to a hospital official. If the diagnosis is confirmed, it would be the first known case of Ebola being transmitted in the U.S.</div>

Hospitals with a suspected case call their health department or the CDC to go through a checklist to determine the person's level of risk. Among the questions are whether the person reports a risky contact with a known Ebola patient, how sick they are and whether an alternative diagnosis is more likely. Most initially suspicious cases in the U.S. haven't met the criteria for testing.</div>
