A Different Kind of Tour
Prague agency offers visits to the underbelly of the Czech capital – through the eyes of the city’s homeless. On any given day in Prague, one of the city’s many visitors might see a sprightly middle-aged man leading a group of tourists through the cobble-stoned streets of the capital. But Roman is far from your typical Prague tour guide, and this is far from your typical Prague tour.
Catherine Cox column, NSW Swifts vs West Coast Fever, rivals, Adelaide Thunderbirds, Helen Housby, Courtney Bruce, preliminary final
The NSW Swifts are looking a little shaky after back-to-back losses and there’s no doubt they are hurting after that overtime major semi final defeat. They looked really nervy in front of their own crowd last weekend – at a time when they normally lift at home. Swifts players threw away uncharacteristic ball after ball early. And those are the games they normally close out and win – they are usually the smarter team in those heated moments.
NSW Swifts vs Adelaide Thunderbirds, West Coast Fever vs Melbourne Vixens, Catherine Cox, prediction, analysis, opinion
It’s crazy we are heading into a finals series with only one winner across the two games from the final round. But I think the Thunderbirds had to show a lot of the cards they had up their sleeve to get that win over the Swifts last weekend – and it’ll hurt their chances in the semi final. The Swifts will be better prepared, and that’s why I’m predicting the first final to be a bit of a whitewash.

The ladder leading NSW Swifts are facing a danger game this weekend when they take on the Queensland Firebirds. With the final four decided quite early it has taken a lot of pressure off the bottom four teams to just play and enjoy what they are doing. Those bottom teams – like we saw with the Firebirds and Collingwood Magpies last weekend – are knocking off and unsettling the top four at a time when the race is on for the top two spots.
Melbourne Vixens vs Collingwood Magpies, centre pass, back to back, controversy, Netball Australia review, Catherine Cox column, draw, one-goal win
The Melbourne Vixens and Collingwood Magpies result should be reviewed and declared a draw after Sunday’s horrendous centre pass blunder. The Vixens won that Melbourne derby purely because they had two centre passes in a row late in the contest – and scored from both of them before taking a one-goal win. While the match is under review, Netball Australia has stated the result will stand – but I think that’s what needs to be reviewed.

Netball, Australia v New Zealand, game four, Diamonds, Silver Ferns, analysis, Catherine Cox, netball great, umpires, whistle, penalties
It’s been a tumultuous 24 hours for the Australian Diamonds heading into the series deciding Constellation Cup game four on Sunday. While the off-field drama is making headlines around the country, the Diamonds found their best form in game three to keep the series alive. Fox Netball’s Catherine Cox previews what we can expect heading into game four on the Gold Coast.

The Australian Diamonds will head into their gold medal campaign in an enviable position – flying under the radar as all the pressure sits on home side England’s shoulders. The Roses are the reigning gold medallists from 2018 and are now under pressure to perform in front of their fans in Birmingham. That alone gives Australia a great opportunity to win just their second gold medal since the victory in 2002.

Stacey Marinkovich and the Australian Diamonds selectors opted to stick with the 15 players who got the job done in this year’s Quad Series, while adding three youngsters ready to step up on the international stage. In light of Covid, the Australian Diamonds have played just two international series since the pandemic began – the Quad Series last January and the shock Constellation Cup loss to New Zealand in 2021.

Poll: What is most important to you in the Budget? THIS YEAR’S BUDGET is based on the possibility of a no-deal Brexit, with Finance and Pubic Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe stating that it will be “safe”. It won’t be a big give away Budget, by any means, with a lot going into expected supports for businesses impacted by a crash out Brexit. There will be a carbon tax, but other tax cuts will be modest.

Poll: How do you like your potatoes? IT’S NATIONAL POTATO day if you hadn’t heard. The annual event highlights the importance of the lowly spud, both in terms of our culture but also our economy. As part of the National Potato Day campaign, Bord Bia visited colleges around the country “to revitalise the potato” among younger consumers. Bord Bia’s Lorcan Bourke said their research identified barriers to potato purchase including a lack of awareness of the ease of preparation and nutritional benefits.
Opinion: The health service will collapse if the exploitation of Ireland's carers isn't addressed
Catherine Cox is a representative from Family Carers Ireland. Here, she writes that the Government urgently needs to invest €110 million into the homecare sector in Budget 2020. WHILE WE ALL recognise the threat to our economy that the uncertainty of Brexit presents we cannot allow this to overshadow the crisis that there is in homecare in Ireland today in the run up to Budget 2020. There are currently over 7,300 people across the country on a waiting list for home support services.
Disturbed minds and disruptive bodies
In July 1859, the Superintendent of Mountjoy Female Prison, Dublin, wrote in desperation to the Directors of Irish Convict Prisons about the “lunacy” of Mary Murray. Her conduct in prison had become “so outrageous and violent” that she had to be confined in a straitjacket. He sought to be relieved of her care immediately, and later that year she was transferred to Dundrum Criminal Lunatic Asylum.
Margaret Atwood’s ‘Alias Grace’ shows us how society used to view female criminals
Mad, bad, or dangerous to know? How can we understand the criminal mind and the commission of crimes? Are these prompted by wickedness and the desire for gain or revenge, or by the workings of a disordered mind? Such dilemmas preoccupied late 19th-century psychiatrists and prison doctors, grappling with growing numbers of criminals, many of whom showed signs of “mental weakness” or “lunacy”.

The best books on Space Exploration
You’ve chosen five books about space exploration, but none are about NASA’s space shuttle. Was the programme ultimately worth it? If I could magically go back in time and give NASA a different pathway at the end of the Apollo programme, I would not choose the space shuttle programme that we ended up with – but then neither would NASA. The shuttle was sold on the promise that it would reduce the cost of getting into low earth orbit and we could do it routinely, as often as once a week.
The Bridge: The 17th Film Festival Cottbus
6-10 November 2007 Films from Eastern Europe were once a staple of art house cinema. Today one could be forgiven for wondering if they’re still being made in any quantity, and if the former Eastern Bloc countries are merely bases for runaway productions.
