Put on the kettle and kick your feet up this Sunday evening while you cast your eye over some of our favourite long reads from the last seven days.
Facebook's new button needs to show empathy
There has been plenty of speculation about the introduction of a dislike button on Facebook over the last while, but it seems pretty clear that Mark Zuckerberg and Co. are not the biggest fans of that idea.
However, they are working out a way for people to interact that lets users support others during a tough situation, in particular when people are talking about death, which is why an 'empathise' button might be the answer.
Bike thieves might be following you home
If you think that you're being followed home, you might be right. With so many people availing of the bike to work scheme and people looking for a better way to get to work, there are plenty of valuable cycles around for thieves to grab and offload quickly for cash.
With that in mind, criminals have stepped up the sophistication of their tactics, and there are increasing reports that they will follow you home and wait for their chance to hop over your wall and steal your bike.
Money at the Rugby World Cup
The tournament has kicked off with plenty of shocks and great matches, but with teams from around the world bringing their supporters to England and Wales to fill up stadiums, pubs and cafes, there will be plenty of money that comes along with the tournament.
Even before the World Cup started, things looked pretty good on that front for the RFU, but with reports that they could be in line for a £30 million windfall, the numbers make for some interesting reading.
Sleep Apnoea
As a common disorder that affects a huge number of people, it seems strange that it doesn't get much coverage, but that is perhaps because the symptoms are not very telling: snoring, a feeling of tiredness during the day, headaches... not a list that would cause much concern.
Prof. Walter McNicholas, from the sleep clinic at St Vincent's University Hospital, spoke to George Hook earlier this week with tips on how to get a good night's rest, and make sure that you're getting the best night's sleep possible.
Battling the obesity crisis
Recent figures have suggested that Ireland is facing a real battle with obesity, and that some action needs to be taken if we want to avoid the projected figures that show 85% of Ireland's adults will be overweight by 2030.
On Down to Business this week, Bobby Kerr was joined by those at the forefront of the battle against the bulge to talk about lifestyle changes, our attitude to food, and what you can do if you want to take better care of your health.
A mother's touching story
A powerful story was the standout piece of the Colette Fitzpatrick show this Sunday, as Carmel Lynch spoke about the loss of her daughter Rebecca Molloy.
In the hope that "this will touch somebody and they will look for help", Carmel spoke about how her daughter had battled depression for a long time, but that she was " just an amazing girl [with] a beautiful heart", adding that "there's always somebody there that can help you, especially when you're in a dark place".
