The US ambassador to the UN has begun a visit to the three nations worst hit by the Ebola outbreak, criticising the level of international support so far. Samantha Power has landed in Guinea and will visit Sierra Leone and Liberia. She told NBC some nations who offered backing "haven't taken responsibility yet" in supplying aid and doctors. More than 10,000 people have contracted the Ebola virus, with 4,922 deaths, according to the World Health Organization's latest figures . All but 27 of the cases have occurred inside Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea. 'Getting lapped' Ms Power told NBC as she boarded her plane: "The international response to Ebola needs to be taken to a wholly different scale than it is right now." She said: "You have countries at the UN where I work every day who are signing on to resolutions and praising the good work that the US and the UK and others are doing, but

Juju "magic" may seem strange, mythical and other-worldly but it is a problem that is all too real when it comes to the sex trafficking of women from Nigeria. The form of witchcraft was thrown into the spotlight at the trial of Lizzy Idahosa who was found guilty of human trafficking offences . Cardiff Crown Court heard how Idahosa, 24, arranged for two Nigerian women to be put through a ritualistic "juju" ceremony in Nigeria to make them afraid of disobeying her before they were trafficked into the UK and forced to work in the sex trade. The women said they had been forced to drink dirty water, eat a snake and a snail and have their hair shaved. The jury heard they had genuine fear the juju magic would cause them illness, madness, infertility and death if they broke their oath. Jump media player Media player help Out of media player.

Google Inc. ( GOOG:US ) expanded its online shopping and delivery services to more U.S. cities as it challenges Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN:US ) to win customers. Chicago, Boston and Washington D.C. have been added to the Google Express service with more than 7 million people able to access its same-day delivery option, according to a company blog post. Almost 12 million people in Northern California can use its next-day service, it said. Google is expanding in e-commerce and allying with retailers to compete with Amazon as it seeks to boost growth and lower its dependence on Web search, which now accounts for most of revenue ( GOOGL:US ) . The Mountain View, California-based company is adding more stores and in August extended a mobile-advertising feature that shows what products are available nearby when users search for items.

Lunar scientists have long believed that dim outpourings of lava gave the “man in the moon” his face over three billion years back, as well as the moon’s volcanic process stopped a billion years back. Advertisement On the other hand, a brand new discovery with several geologists at Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration imply the moon has seen widespread although little eruptions of basaltic lava through the last 50 million years, an interval that is recent. The scientists estimate the dozens of stone deposits that are distinguishing are much less than one hundred million years of age. This time frame corresponds to the Cretaceous period , the heyday on Earth. The science team identified 70 little volcanic attributes scattered from the other side of the dim volcanic plains of the moon, or maria. The characteristics reveal as a mix low, round knolls near patches. The scientists refer to these uncommon places as mare spots that are atypic

In recent years, when booming robotics engineering has provided the world a way to traverse nearly all unbearable terrains including space, the sandy surfaces of desert dunes and beaches have often provided an unscalable feat for researchers. A granular substrate, which moves like fluid, sand is a particularly challenging terrain for most species, which is only one reason why so few species inhabit the desolate deserts. But in looking for a way to make it through the sandy slopes, researchers looked to the snake species of the deserts to create a sidewinder rattlesnake robot that could slither its way through the sand. Developed by a team at Georgia Tech, researchers recently described their findings in this week's issue of the journal Science , which tested a robotic snake look-alike to the real thing. Running both real and robotic snakes through identical sandy obstacle slopes, the researchers were able to view the sidewinder rattlesnake's m
