A California farmer says Donald Trump's campaign vow to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country illegally pushed him into buying more equipment, cutting the number of workers he’ll need during the next harvest. Others in California's farming industry say Trump's tough campaign talk targeting immigrants in the country illegally, including a vast number of farmworkers, spurred them into action, too.

In this photo taken on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, a woman prisoner suspected of suffering from the Ebola virus, from Tubmanburg central prison, is pushed in a wheelchair towards a medical vehicle, to be taken to an Ebola treatment center in Monrovia, Liberia. The Ebola outbreak has spawned a “silent killer,” experts say: hidden cases of malaria, pneumonia, typhoid and the like that are going untreated because people in the countries hardest hit by Ebola either cannot find an open clinic or are too afraid to go to one.

As West Africa struggles to contain the biggest ever outbreak of Ebola, some experts say an unusual but simple treatment might help: the blood of survivors. The evidence is mixed for using infection-fighting antibodies from survivors’ blood for Ebola, but without any licensed drugs or vaccines for the deadly disease, some say it’s worth a shot.
