The Bakken shale North Dakota oil boom
July 2012 - North Dakota, United States: Natural gas flare burns off a rig outside of Trenton, North Dakota. The oil boom is redrawing North Dakota's landscape and creating opportunity for thousands of unemployed Americans. However, the economic prosperity has exacerbated problems in housing, infrastructure and traffic.
Known for the beauty of its great plains, North Dakota has long been the least populated state in the country. Because of the Bakken oil boom, everyday, mostly men, pour in from across the nation looking for work. The small town of Williston has exploded as a result. Ten years ago Williston, North Dakota was a quiet agricultural town with a population around 12,000. In a decade the population has more than doubled to over 30,000. More than half of Williston's residents now work in oil-related jobs and the city's unemployment rate is at 1 percent, which is the lowest in the U.S.

Elizabeth Taylor
Nov 10, 1970 - London, England, UK - An iconic two-time Academy Award-winning British-American actress ELIZABETH 'LIZ' TAYLOR with her fifth husband RICHARD BURTON who co-starred her in 'Cleopatra,' leaving Buckingham Palace. The notice paid to Cleopatra paled in comparison to the scrutiny which greeted Taylor's latest romance, with Burton; she left her former husband Eddie Fisher to marry the actor in 1964, and perhaps no Hollywood relationship was ever the subject of such intense media coverage. Theirs was a passionate, stormy relationship, played out in the press and onscreen in films including 1963's The V.I.P.'s and 1965's The Sandpiper. (Credit Image: © KEYSTONE Pictures USA)/ eyevine
