Thousands of children's lives at risk as deadly cholera outbreak spreads through sudan, South Sudan, July 2014

Thousands Of Children's Lives At Risk As Deadly Cholera Outbreak Spreads Through Sudan
Save The Children has reported today (11 July) that Cholera is likely to put thousands of more lives at risk as South Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the continent,
The latest cholera outbreak in the Torit County is growing rapidly and illustrates how the highly infectious disease is quickly spreading throughout the country.
This is the latest outbreak of a disease that has already contaminated over 2,600 people and killed more than 60 since the first cases were reported by Save The Children in Juba on 15th May.
Cholera causes severe vomiting and diarrhoea among children and adults, which in turn leads to severe dehydration and, if treatment is not provided rapidly, to patients' death. The disease has now spread to many areas in the country, with outbreaks or alerts reported in nine out of ten States.
Children because of their age and developmental stage, are particularly susceptible to dying from the disease.
South Sudanese children are even more vulnerable as seven months of violence has forced 1.5 million people from their homes and brought the world's youngest nation, which turned three on 9 July to the brink of famine.
Calamantina livers in Sudan with her children. Her four-year old-daughter, Lopa, is being treated for cholera at the Save the Children-supported health centre in Idale, Eastern Equatoria, South Sudan. Calamantina lost three children to cholera in 2006.
She has recen...

Boxing Hares, females fight off males during mating season, island of Texel, Holland - Mar 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Richard Peters / Rex Features (1667663g)
Female hare fights off lots of males advances for mating rights, taken on the Island of Texel.
Hopping Mad: Female Hare Fights Off Admirers
These images show a brutal boxing match between two brown hares.
Traditionally a sign spring is on its way, the female hare fights off the mating urges of the males by standing on their hind legs and 'boxing' with their front paws.
The sight of these 'mad March hares' boxing caused British wildlife photographer Richard Peters to pick up his camera and capture the ferocious battle in action, which at one point saw the female having to fend off up to five males at once.
Mr Peters said: "The battle got quite viscous with fur flying everywhere.
"It started off with one male hare chasing the female around a field before the action ended up on a huge mud pile.
"At one point the female hare was up against five males, which highlights the chaos of this time of year in the life of a hare."
The contests were long believed to be between two male hares fighting for dominance to mate with a female.
But in fact the disputes are usually a reluctant female that is not yet ready to mate and tries to repel the unwanted advances of an overexcited male, which is part of the brown hare's courtship ritual.
Mr Peters took the photographs of the hares while visiting the Island of Texel in the province of North Holland.
Texel has one of the highest populations of hare in Europe because it is a small island and they cannot escape.

Large Groups of Monarch Butterflies Resting / Overwintering, Monarch Grove Sanctuary, Pacific Grove, California, America - Dec 2011

A close up of a single monarch butterfly on a tree branch.
Butterflies Cluster to Keep Warm
These fascinating images show thousands of Monarch Butterflies clustered together in order to conserve heat during the winter months.
Every year over 25,000 Monarch Butterflies huddle together on the pine and eucalyptus trees of Monarch Grove Sanctuary in Pacific Grove, California.
Arriving in October it is thought the butterflies come from as far north as Canada, triggered by the decreasing daylight and freezing temperatures the Monarchs begin flying south towards the overwintering grounds sometimes up to 2,000 miles away.
After reaching their destination the Monarchs cluster in large masses to conserve heat and energy as their flight muscles do not function well unless the temperature is above 55 degrees.
Wildlife photographer Michael Yang visited the Monarch Grove Sanctuary on Boxing Day to witness the unique migration.
He said: "When I was there the temperature was in the mid 50's equivalent to ten degrees Celsius, which meant the majority of the Monarch Butterflies were in the cluster. However, it is not uncommon to see stray butterflies fluttering about."
During warmer days Monarchs will look for food sources such as nectar but always return to the clusters at night.
This migration is so unique because migrating species such as birds sand whales, the same individuals have travelled the migration route year after year however, migrating Monarchs have never been to their destination before because several generations of Monarchs would have lived and died since last year's butterfly migration.
A female Monarch Butterfly has approximately six weeks to seek out nectar, mate and lay eggs before she dies.
Michael also explained: "What makes this year so special is the sheer number of Monarch Butter...

This involves renting a large inner tube from locals, travelling 4km up the Nam Song river by vehicle, and then 'tubing' back down river. Dozens of bars line the river banks with booming music and lots of hedonistic backpackers getting drunk and/or high. Many rope swings, zip lines, and large decks have been built for socialising and splashing into the river.

Young back packers receive tubes at riverside bars. The main activity in Vang Vieng is tubing. This involves renting a large inner tube from locals, travelling 4km up the Nam Song river by vehicle, and then 'tubing' back down river. Dozens of bars line the river banks with booming music and lots of hedonistic backpackers getting drunk and/or high. Many rope swings, zip lines, and large decks have been built for socialising and splashing into the river.
