A conceptual vertical train hub by UK designers Christopher Christophi and Lucas Mazarrasa which received an honourable mention in eVolo magazine’s skyscraper design competition.
The design – envisaged for a world 60 years hence where the need for high speed transit vies with the limitations of urban space – flips the horizontal layout of a rail terminal on its end to create a cylindrical mass into which trains arrive hovering above magnetic rails then pivot in the style of ferris wheel carriages as they ascend to platforms within the tower.

Give two cheers to Deputy Ming,
Who had half an idea that took wing,
He decided to float,
A request for a boat,

[Bodybuilder Oli Cooney who died age 20]
He had stopped taking the anabolic steroids but the irreversible and long-term damage to his heart had already been done. Despite having three heart attacks and two strokes, which left him with weakness down one side and without speech for a time, he responded well to physiotherapy but returned to working out at the gym three or four times a week.
He told a nurse he would rather have another heart attack than another stroke because of the effect a stroke would have on his body.
An ingenious if long-winded mechanical timepiece created in 2013 by Turnvator Janosch.
Every minute, a ball is released onto an inclined track where traps indicate the time in minute, five-minute and hourly intervals.
Driven by a 2.5kg weight, the clock runs for twelve hours at a time and according to its inventor, has an accuracy error of just one second in 24 hours.

“For the day what’s in it… New research from Amárach shows the effect that recent charity scandals is having on the charity of the public. Some highlights…. (study conducted last month). “Percentage of Irish who don’t give to charity increased from 11% to 24% from 2005 to 2014.” Obviously, there’s the crash in there too. But, since the recent charity scandals broke, and namely the CRC scandal, 62% of people have ‘changed their perception of charities’. SIXTY TWO ! It gets worse…. a whopping 55% say they have ‘reduced their willingness to donate to charities‘…”
