| How to keep using Facebook chat on your iPhone without installing Facebook Messenger Posted: 14 Aug 2014 11:27 AM PDT  Facebook gave users fair warning ahead of a recent change that requires people to install a separate iPhone application if they want to keep using Facebook's messaging feature on their iPhones, but there is still plenty of outrage.

But if you would rather not use a dedicated app to chat with your Facebook friends, don't fret: A simple trick will let you keep using the main Facebook app for the iPhone to send and receive messages.

| Ebola lockdown takes economic toll in West Africa Posted: 14 Aug 2014 10:08 AM PDT  The Ebola outbreak in West Africa threatens to exact a severe economic toll, analysts said on Thursday, as striken countries remained in lockdown and rushed to bolster emergency responses. The shutting down of schools, borders and government services in the worst-affected countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone could have a "significant" financial impact on already impoverished nations, said Matt Robinson, senior credit officer at Moody's rating agency. Liberia, which has suffered more than 300 deaths from the virus, spent $12 million (nine million euros) tackling the Ebola outbreak between April and June, and looks set to spend much more in the coming weeks. It began work to expand its Ebola treatment centre in the capital Monrovia on Thursday -- one of only two centres in the country of 4.2 million.

| Guinea declares public health emergency over Ebola Posted: 14 Aug 2014 07:48 AM PDT  By Saliou Samb CONAKRY (Reuters) - Guinea has declared a public health emergency over an Ebola epidemic that has killed more than 1,000 people in three West African states and is sending health workers to all affected border points, a government official said. An estimated 377 people have died in Guinea since the world's worst outbreak of Ebola began in March in remote parts of a border region next to Sierra Leone and Liberia. Guinea says its outbreak is under control with the numbers of new cases falling, but that the new measures are needed to prevent further infection from the other countries at the center of the epidemic. "Trucks full of health materials and carrying health personnel are going to all the border points with Liberia and Sierra Leone," Aboubacar Sidiki Diakité, president of Guinea's Ebola commission, said late on Wednesday.
