Haunting Photos Highlight The Ebola Crisis In Liberia
Kieran Kesner is a 23-year-old photojournalist who spent eight days covering the the plight of those infected with Ebola in Liberia.
His striking photographs capture the plight of the Liberian community, who can only hope and pray not to catch the devastating disease.
During his stay Kesner also photographed the burial teams and the MSF doctors (Doctors without Borders).
The current outbreak in West Africa is the largest and most severe outbreak of Ebola since the virus was first discovered in 1976.
Since the first case was noted in March 2014, there have been more cases and deaths than previous outbreaks combined; the diseases has already taken over 3,000 lives.
On August 27, 2014 Kesner boarded Delta airlines flight 2608 ready to begin his first international assignment.
"After four layovers, I arrived at the airport in Liberia. The plane came to a rough landing as it skidded to a stop on the decaying runway.
"Upon exiting passengers were met with an army of people rushing to take our temperature with thermometers shaped like guns aimed at our heads. I would soon come to realize these thermometers might as well be real guns pointed to our heads."
After washing his hands with chlorine, Kesner proceeded through the cacophony of customs where his passport was quickly stamped and he was sent on his way.
"Over the next week I would come face to face with Ebola; photographing the sick, dead and every stage of the virus in between. Realizing the severity of this epidemic that sets a country back after steadily making gains from the destruction caused by civil war from 1989-2003."
Kesner recalls when his taxi driver yelled out of the...

eCool: invention keeps beers cold by burying them underground - Jun 2014

eCool: Invention Keeps Beers Cold by Burying them Underground
Festival goers will dig this - a beer fridge you bury in the mud.
The eCool is a new invention which sees you burying your favourite brew underground.
When thirst strikes it is just a matter of turning a crank handle and your beverage is delivered topside.
The device holds 24 cans and can stay installed the whole year, using the natural lower temperature of the ground to cool the drinks.
And because the eCool - short for Earth Cooler - does not use electricity, the Danish designers are marketing the device with the tagline "Save the world - one Earth-cooled beer at a time".
The company say: "Do something great for yourself and the environment. The earth cooler is intended for the man who has everything. It's easy to install in the garden or terrace, and uses no electricity. With the eCool you can always drink a cold beer with good conscience."
The coolness of the drink will depend on the temperature of the ground, which will vary on the country and season. The eCool maintains the same cooled temperature throughout the whole container.
The designers advise using a garden drill to prepare the 4ft hole for installation but say it "can be installed with a shovel as well, if you're a real man".
The hand-built eCool is currently available at a pre-price of $349 until 30 June 2014.

Kizzie the dog 'impersonates' Marilyn Monroe, Bakewell, Derbyshire, Britain - Jul 2011
Some like it hot-dog!
Kizzie the pampered pooch shows that she can vamp with the best of them when she came face to face with Hollywood screen legend Marilyn Monroe.
The Saluki breed pet put the pout on her snout while doing a spot of shopping in Bakewell, Derbyshire - and seemed to be impersonating the iconic star.
"The picture was outside an antiques shop," said her owner Andrew Griffiths. "Suddenly she went into this pose, it was as though she knew I had my camera with me."
The six-year-old, whose screen name - sorry, kennel name - is Indira Casablanca, clearly has movies in her blood.
Does she enjoy the attention, like all good Hollywood starlets? "I think she does," says Andrew. "To be honest, she can be a bit of a blonde."
Other theories for the haughty hounds behaviour may be that Salukis are also known as the Royal Dog of Egypt.
They are one of the oldest known breeds of domesticated dog with Saluki-like animals appearing on ancient Egyptian tombs dating 2134 BC.
Or maybe she's just a WAG?

Polar bear somersaulting in the snow, Wapusk National Park, Hudson Bay, Manitoba, Canada - 26 Nov 2009
HEAD OVER HEELS HAPPY BEAR HAS FUN IN THE SNOW
An athletic polar bear makes his bid for a place in the Winter Olympics by performing roly-polys in this spectacular series of photographs.
The fluffy white bear seemed unfazed by the camera as he rolled head over heels in temperatures as low as -42c and wind speeds of 70 mph.
Photographer David C. Schultz snapped the cub at Wapusk National Park, on the Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
The bear buried himself in the pristine white snow before repeating his routine four more times and diving head first into the powder.
Delighted David found the polar bears as they congregated along the shores of the Hudson Bay waiting for the November freeze.
From here they head out to hunt ring seal.
David said: "The high winds from the previous days had piled up snow drifts against an area of willows and it was here that we spotted this young bear.
"We stopped and watched it for about an hour as he just lay in the snow, enjoying the cold temperatures.
"As if on cue, he decided to liven things up a bit.
"He bent over, sticking his face in the snow, then continued to flip over, pausing for just a moment to look at us before sliding down on its back into a shallow hole created by the drifting snow.
"He raised his head, again, looking directly at us, but now his face was completely covered with snow."
He added: "I thought that was great and the end of the performance but I guess the bear wanted to make certain he had been properly captured.
"He climbed out of the hole and began his gymnastics routine four more times.
"It was hilarious to watch this beautiful animal, which could and would kill you in a heartbea...
