Nialler9 writes:

“ThisisPopbaby’s performance/art/club night which started in the Abbey Theatre basement returns for a once off event at The Chapel in IMMA as part of the art museum’s Summer Rising festival. Promising “a blistering haze of neon and discotheque, live art and performance” WERK will be occupied by “underground heroes, phabulous phreaks, drama queens & performance giants.” Hosted by Panti with Chewy on the decks. A different kind of club night. Put in Werk.”

“Nothing that has occurred since I made the decision has changed my opinion that the decision was appropriate, balanced and reasonable. I very much regret the decision of Garth Brooks/Aiken Promotions not to hold the three permitted concerts and not to examine the options proposed by the city council in relation to the two concerts that were not permitted. This was their decision and they must accept the consequences.”

The death toll from an Ebola outbreak in West Africa has spiked to 603 since February, with at least 68 deaths reported in the last week alone, the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday.

Sierra Leone recorded the highest number of deaths, which include confirmed, probable and suspect cases of Ebola, with 52. Liberia reported 13 and Guinea 3, according to the WHO figures for July 8-12.

WHO said there were 85 new cases, highlighting continued high levels of transmission, especially in Liberia and Sierra Leone, despite local and international efforts to halt the disease.

Gulp.

Design drawings from a patent filed by Airbus last month for a new ‘pack-em-in’ bicycle-style seat for short haul (sub 3-hour) flights.

The idea for vertical seating was first touted by Airbus in 2003. Ryanair has been promoting it since 2010.
