Mandela: Obama's tribute

"While I will always fall short of Madiba’s example, he makes me want to be a better man. 

After he is laid to rest and we return to our cities, let us search for his strength let us search for his largeness of spirit, somewhere inside of ourselves. 

When the night grows dark, when justice weighs heavy on our hearts, when our best laid plan seems beyond our reach, let us think of Madiba and the words that brought him comfort within the four walls of the cell.
It matters not how strait is the gate, how charged the punishment, the scroll, I am the master of my faith; I am the captain of my soul. What a magnificent soul it was -- Obama

The challenge of lung cancer November marks lung cancer awareness month. Lung cancer is a leading cause for cancer deaths in the world and is strongly correlated with smoking. Although the rates of lung cancer in sub-Saharan Africa is lower vs. the rest of the world, it is still important to discuss especially as the rates of tobacco use in Africa is on the rise - if the smoking rate continues to climb, dealing with tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer will become more common. Furthermore, secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked themselves. Symptoms Lung cancer may not produce any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. In many people diagnosed with lung cancer, diagnosis is made after the disease has advanced. As many of these symptoms are general, many people don't suspect lung cancer.
