Many of us have bad sleep habits, whether it's scrolling through our phones, getting too engrossed in a book or just not getting up to turn the light off. But what are the worst things to do before going to bed? Colin Espie, professor in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Sleepio, has some answers. “Any activity that would cause an individual to have an increase in stress levels can impact a good night's sleep,” he told The Independent.“Generally, as a rule of thumb, anything that might cause excessive anxiety or stress hormones will cause an increase in wakefulness, preventing a proper night’s sleep.” Experts have warned that lying in bed scrolling through a smartphone before dozing could risk sabotaging quality of sleep.Professor Espie advised avoiding any stimulating activity before attempting to sleep. “It’s important to have a ‘wind-down’ routine – an hour to an hour and a half before you go to bed when you don’t do any work, avoid any ‘stimulating’ activity such as strenuous exercise, turn off any electronic devices and give yourself time to relax," he said.Research reveals avid users of technology pre-bedtime can take up to an hour longer than average to eventually nod off than those who do not. A Naturalmat survey suggests 15 per cent of Britons look at their smartphone or tablet last thing at night before they go to sleep. Professor Espie also warned that the activities that affect sleep will vary depending on the individual. For example, he said those who become over-involved in books and find them hard to put down may find reading before bed is not the best choice for them.

Eleven people have been killed, officials say, in a gun attack on a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The gunman, who opened fire as the Tree of Life synagogue held a service, was later taken into custody. President Donald Trump said "a lot of people" had been killed and injured in a "wicked act of mass murder". The suspect, who has been officially identified as Robert Bowers, 46, was injured and is receiving treatment. Two other people are in hospital in a critical condition, police said. Pittsburgh shooting: What we know so far America's gun culture in 10 charts Federal investigators are treating the shooting as a hate crime. The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish non-governmental organisation that fights anti-Semitism, said: "We believe this is the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the history of the United States."A vigil for the victims of the synagogue attack is taking place in Squirrel Hill. Sophia Levin, a local resident and one of the organisers, told the BBC she hoped this would help the community, and people "can come together and support each other". President Trump said he would visit Pittsburgh, following the attack. How did the shooting unfold? On Saturday morning, worshippers had gathered at the synagogue, in the Squirrel Hill neighbourhood, for a baby naming ceremony during the Sabbath. Squirrel Hill has one of the largest Jewish po[CENSORED]tions in Pennsylvania and this would have been the synagogue's busiest day of the week. According to reports Mr Bowers, a white male, entered the building armed with an assault rifle and two pistols. Reports say he barricaded himself in a room at the synagogue when police approached. Emergency services arrived at the building at about 10:00 local time (14:00 GMT), and gunshots could be heard. Pittsburgh's Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich later confirmed Mr Bowers was in police custody and was being treated in hospital. The crime scene was "horrific", he told reporters. "One of the worst I've seen, and I've [worked] on some plane crashes. It's very bad," he added. He said that two officers were injured in an "initial confrontation" and that a further two Swat officers were later hurt by the gunman when they entered the building. He said that no children were among the casualties. What do we know about the gunman? US media said he had shouted "All Jews must die" as he carried out the attack. Social media posts by someone with the name Robert Bowers were also reported to be full of anti-Semitic comments. Pittsburgh FBI's special agent in charge of the investigation, Bob Jones, told a press conference that he did not know if Mr Bowers was known to authorities prior to events on Saturday. He said that any motive remains unknown but that authorities believe he was acting alone. Mr Jones added that the investigation was "in the early stages". "We will look at every aspect of the suspect's life," he said. Mr Bowers is receiving treatment for what has been described as multiple gunshot wounds. What has been President Trump's reaction? He called the shooting a "terrible, terrible thing". "To see this happen again and again, for so many years, it's just a shame," he told reporters on Saturday. He described the gunman as a "maniac" and suggested the US should "stiffen up our laws of the death penalty". "These people should pay the ultimate price. This has to stop," he said. Gun control around the world Fight or flight: Would you tackle a gunman? Mr Trump added that the incident had "little to do" with US gun laws. "If they had protection inside, maybe it could have been a different situation," he said. The president later appeared at the Future Farmers of America Convention in Indianapolis, saying: "There must be no tolerance for anti-Semitism. It must be condemned and confronted everywhere and anywhere it appears." Speaking to reporters after the event, Mr Trump said the attacker was not one of his supporters, describing him as "sick".

Comment Windows isn't working – and Microsoft urgently needs to change how it develops the platform, and jettison three filthy practices it has acquired in recent years. In 2014 Microsoft decided it could do a better job if it discarded a lot of software testers. This bright new dawn was lauded at the time by Peter Bright at Ars Technica in a piece titled "How Microsoft dragged its development practices into the 21st century". Testers were soooo 20th century. The previous month, Microsoft had laid off many of its Windows testers. "Under the new structure, a number of Windows engineers, primarily dedicated testers, will no longer be needed," wrote Mary Jo Foley in her scoop for ZDNet. Crowdsourced testing would be the way forward – and we should be thankful for this, Ars advised. "The goal is to make the OS team work more like lean startups," we learned. Lean. Agile. Heard this one before? "QA still exists and is still important, but it performs end-user style 'real world' testing, not programmatic automated testing. This testing has been successful for Bing, improving the team's ability to ship changes without harming overall software quality," Bright wrote. The following year my piece voicing misgivings to the crowdsourcing part – the Windows Insider programme – got plenty of attention at Microsoft. The Insiders were not representative of the core Microsoft business customer, I argued."Normal people don't sign up in large numbers to try out very rough alpha software, or at least not knowingly. This means only the most devoted fanbois and developers have been using early builds of Windows 10," I wrote. Interesting, we were told. The company carried on regardless. Well, here we are. Over the past three years Windows 10 has been released at six-month intervals, so someone was doing the QA, but it showed less and less each time. Development slowed to a glacial pace. I would leave my biannual NDA walkthrough scratching my head at some of the headline features. 3D Paint? A new toolbar for gamers? An acrylic calculator? These were not only trivial, but they didn't seem to be on any professional user's wish list. Perhaps concerned at this slow pace, Microsoft managers decided to take the foot off the brake. Caution was thrown to the wind.The result was catastrophic. October 2018 was the first major update to be recalled for quality reasons. It deleted your data. In particular, it deleted data that users had stored in the cloud, that apparently eternal data backup destination, where no data should ever be lost. Right? It was merely the worst in a series of serious bugs which continue to this day. And I'm focusing on the problems caused by the big update. The car-crash autumn update followed a poorly received spring update. The agony continued for weeks. The patches are a nightmare too, one recently caused HP PCs to BSOD. And although it received far less attention than the Windows 10 recall, the Windows 7 patch rollup vital to many businesses was also halted this month. Windows 10 is officially a shit show. How did this happen? Windows watchers see a company in a rush. Windows Insider builds migrate through three stages – Fast, Slow and Release – and each should be less risky than the last. Build 17758 sped from the bleeding-edge Fast Ring to the Slow Ring in just three days (breaking .NET). A few builds later, the RTM 17763 bypassed the Release stage entirely and leaped into the wild. "Microsoft closed that window in record time," noted Neowin's Rich Woods. "It's entirely possible that the absurd breakneck pace of change we're seeing masks a complete breakdown in Microsoft's ability to produce reliable software," wrote Woody Leonard. "All I know for sure is that Windows is on a vicious downward spiral." Enterprises are now wary, sticking with older versions, ensuring the PC hardware industry – which sees an uptick in sales from Windows 10 – remains in the doldrums. Then there's the problem of crowdsourcing. This crowd isn't worth much, and certainly isn't wise enough to spot the problems Microsoft's dysfunctional software processes are throwing up. "Microsoft has come to rely on Windows Insiders to act as canaries for the operating system. With reliability issues too severe to be fixed in an update, it may be that too much quality control work has been offloaded onto these helpful enthusiasts," my colleague Richard Speed noted earlier this year. So three urgent changes are required. Firstly, reintroduce dedicated testers. Don't rely on automation and the crowd – that clearly isn't working. Raise the prestige of testers in the company. Secondly, repurpose the Insider programme – reclassify it as a fan club. Anything, really. It's not a substitute for professional testers. And thirdly, slow down. The rush to bring immature software to market has clearly deteriorated software quality. Are annual releases such a bad thing? Or even delaying the software until it's actually ready?Elevating the prestige of Windows within the organisation is not a bad idea either, even though it goes against Satya Nadella's proselytising of the cloud as the primary Microsoft platform. Working on Azure is the cool thing to do at Microsoft, and in the Cloud and AI Platform group under Scott Guthrie. Windows is "legacy". Yer Dad's OS. But this is shortsighted. There's far more potential at the edge than contemporary fashion permits – all those untapped cores. Here's an example of that power being put to very innovative use – avoiding the cloud, and producing better results. In addition, if the perception of the Windows in front of you is flaky – and right now it is – why would we assume instances of Windows running somewhere else will be more reliable? Call it the anti-halo effect: dreadful Windows software takes the shine off the cloud too. Making these changes will take time – especially if hiring is involved. But QA is broken, and Windows is broken. Someone has to grasp the nettle.

Last month, NVIDIA finally released their GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards. Taking a complete departure from traditional GPU design and creating a hybrid architecture that includes a range of new technologies to power the next-generation immersive gaming experiences. The key highlight of the GeForce RTX 20 series was the enablement of real-time raytracing which has been the holy grail of graphics and something NVIDIA spent 10 years to perfect. In addition to raytracing, NVIDIA also aims to place bets on AI which will play a key role in powering features such as DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling, a unique way of offering the same quality as the more taxing MSAA AA techniques at twice the performance. We looked at the performance in detail of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and GeForce RTX 2080 FE cards and found them to be a good improvement over their predecessors, the GTX 1080 Ti and GTX 1080. When it comes to pricing, the GeForce RTX 20 series are some of the most costly graphics cards NVIDIA has offered to consumers. The reference variants are great with their new cooling design and good looking shrouds but AIBs have also prepped up their own custom models which would rival the FE (reference) cards. With just a few bucks of asking price over the reference models, the custom variants will offer a range of features such as triple fan coolers, bulky heatsinks, and custom PCBs allowing for better heat dissipation, higher air flow and more overclocking performance and clock stability at their respective boost clocks which will be higher compared to the reference variants.So today, I’ll be taking a look at the AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Xtreme, featuring a Windforce 3X cooler and shroud that is redesigned from scratch to offer the best looks and also the best GPU performance by offering a custom PCB for overclocking and to top it all up, a factory overclock higher than the Founders Edition, out of the box. If you are planning to purchase a GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card, then you should definitely be checking out this review ahead as the AORUS may just prove to be the choice of custom card you are looking for.

If there is a third certainty in life, it is surely that all matters relating to taxation will be horribly complicated. Company car tax is no exception, and when changes are made to the system on a seemingly annual basis and the tax bands themselves are fiddled with just as often, the complexity of it all spirals out of control. However, the reason why Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) charges tax on the car your employer makes available to you is at least easy enough to understand. A company car is a benefit second only to the salary you are paid and HMRC therefore sees it as a taxable one. It calls it a ‘benefit in kind’, a term applied to any taxable perk or incentive other than your basic salary. So if you run a company car, you will have to pay a certain amount of tax. A company car is defined as one that is made available to you by your employer and that you are allowed to use personally outside of working hours, as well as for work. HMRC considers your commute to and from work to be personal use. European car sales drop sharply due to impact of WLTP tests Calculating the amount of tax you’ll be liable to pay appears daunting at first, but it is actually reasonably straightforward. We’ll take a closer look at that later on. But put simply, the calculation is based upon the value of the car, your salary, the car’s CO2 emissions and the type of fuel it runs on. CO2 is the primary factor here because the government wants to incentivise us all to drive cleaner cars. Therefore, the lower the car’s CO2 emissions, the less tax you pay, all other things being equal. In recent years, there have been significant changes to the way company car tax is structured. Diesel cars are subject to a 4% surcharge because they emit more nitrogen oxide, which is harmful on a local level. This was increased from 3% in April this year as part of the government’s efforts to discourage us from driving diesels. Meanwhile, electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars are no longer exempt from company car tax, although they do sit in a much lower tax band.

Another big change was made last year that concerns employees who are offered the choice between a company car and a car allowance, which is simply a sum of money paid on top of a basic salary. It usedto be the case that such employees were taxed according to the option they settled for. So if they chose the company car, they would pay tax based on its value, but if they chose the cash alternative, they’d pay tax on that sum. It was therefore possible to reduce your tax liability by choosing a company car whose value was much less than the car allowance that had been tabled. Now, however, HRMC collects tax on whichever has the highest value. In effect, the change closes a loophole and removes one of the ways in which your tax bill could be lowered. Put simply, it means more money in HM Treasury’s coffers. Calculating your company car tax bill: First of all, it is worth knowing that the 29 company car tax bands – which are based on CO2 emissions – are adjusted annually, so your tax bill will rise slightly year on year. Your employer will deduct yourtax payments from your salary each month, just as it deducts your income tax and national insurance contributions. That means you don’t have to do anything yourself, but you must make sure your employer has calculated your tax liability correctly. Your tax bill depends on the car’s CO2 emissions, its value and your salary. The CO2 emissions correlate to a tax band, expressed as a percentage. (All percentages here relate to the 2018-19 tax year.) Thevalue of the car includes its list price and all optional extras, and HMRC refers to this as its P11D value. Your rate of income tax – basic at 20%, higher at 40% or additional at 45% – is the third factor. The more CO2 a car emits, the more of its value is taxed. For instance, if the car emits 120g/km of CO2 and runs on petrol, you will pay tax on 25% of its value. The lowest rate, for cars emitting 0g/km of CO2, is 13%, and the highest rate is 37%. Once you have worked out the tax band, apply the relevant percentage to the car’s P11D value to find its benefit-in-kind value. By way of example, a BMW 520d M Sport emits 117g/ km of CO2 and sits in the 28%tax band (including its 4% diesel surcharge caused by the Real Driving Emissions test, for which no car yet meets the standard). Its P11D value is £40,515, so tax will be 28% of that, meaning a benefit-in-kind value of £11,344. Once you have that figure, multiply it by your income tax rate. Using our example above, £11,344 multiplied by 40% (assuming higher-rate income tax) means an annual bill of £4538. Therefore, that particular car will cost £378 each month. In some cases, a company car driver’s bill will be reduced if the driver contributes to the monthly lease cost of the car, or if the car is only available to the driver part-time. Petrol vs diesel: The 4% surcharge on diesel cars is there to discourage us from choosing diesels and persuade us into supposedly cleaner petrols. That may seem punitive, but because diesel cars emit less CO2 than their petrol equivalents, even after the surcharge is applied, the difference in tax liability between the two may not be significant.] For drivers who cover higher than average mileage, meanwhile, the benefit of better diesel fuel economy will probably outweigh the 4% surcharge. Let’s look at three examples. BMW 5 Series: Let’s assume our company car driver is a higher-rate tax payer who drives 1500 miles per month. The petrol 520i emits 134g/km of CO2 and is in the 27% bracket. The 520d diesel emits 119g/km and sits in the 28% band. The petrol BMW will therefore cost £355 per month compared with £378 for the diesel. Each month, the petrol car will cost £177 to fuel compared with £145 for the diesel, so overall the diesel works out cheaper by £9 per month. However, if the driver covers only 1000 miles per month, the petrol is the cheaper choice by £2. Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Our driver is an additional-rate tax payer and covers 2000 miles per month. The petrol S-Class emits 169g/km of CO2 and falls in the 34% tax bracket, while the diesel S-Class emits 153g/km and slots into the 35% bracket. The petrol car will cost £1099 per month while the diesel will cost £1103. Each month, the petrol S-Class will therefore cost £1410 in tax and fuel compared with £1352 for the diesel one BMW i8: It may to be a few years old, but the BMW i8 is still one of the most eye-catching cars on the road. And although it doesn’t match a Porsche 911 for sheer driving thrills, the i8 is great to drive in its own way. With CO2 emissions of 42g/km, it slots into the lowest, 13% tax band. Its P11D is £112,680 and its benefit-in-kind value £14,648, so an additional-rate tax payer will pay £549 per month for it. The £100,781 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, meanwhile, would cost the same driver £1398 per month – an additional £10,000 each yea

The Spanish club was paid $101 million by UEFA for last year's campaign, which saw Zinedine Zidane's side defeat Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev to win a third-straight European title. Despite being knocked out in the semifinals, AS Roma came out of last year's competition as the second highest earner with $96 million, ahead of Liverpool with $93 million. In total, $1.6 billion was distributed between the clubs that participated in the Champions League group stages and the 10 teams eliminated in the group stage playoffs. Spanish giant Barcelona, knocked out of last season's Champions League by Roma in the quarterfinals, was the competition's 10th highest earner. READ: Can anyone stop Juventus this season?

The most-talked-about couple of Bollywood, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are all set to get married in November this year. The couple has been dating for almost 6 years and kept their relationship low-key for many years now. Ever since the duo made an official announcement of their wedding dates, everyone is excited including their millions of fans. From imagining their wedding looks to being hooked on to their photos on social media, no one can keep calm till the big day actually arrives. And recently, we came across a rather interesting Instagram account by the name sids_gallery with some photoshopped (read edited and painted) pictures of the couple, showing us how the duo might look on their wedding day.

A suspect package similar to those sent to senior public figures has been sent to a New York restaurant owned by the actor Robert De Niro, the FBI has said. The device was found at the Tribeca Grill in Manhattan early on Thursday local time, said the city's mayor. Former Vice-President Joe Biden has also received two suspect packages. The latest incident marks the ninth perceived critic of President Donald Trump to receive such a package this week. De Niro - the star of films Raging Bull and Meet the Parents - is a vocal Trump opponent, and once called him "a national disaster". When the Oscar-winner attacked him at the Tony Awards in June, the president responded by calling De Niro a "very low IQ individual". The New York Police Department said the restaurant building - which also houses his production company TriBeCa Films - was empty at the time the suspicious device arrived, NBC reports. Trump attacks 'media hostility' after mail bombs De Niro offered Italy escape from Trump New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio praised the "really quick witted work of a security guard" who alerted authorities to the suspected device. According to the Associated Press, the security guard was off work on Thursday and had seen an image of the suspected explosives. That individual then recalled spotting something similar in the building's mailroom and immediately called authorities who removed the device around 06:30 local time (11:30GMT), the AP reports. "We have to be ready for any eventuality," Mr de Blasio said. "It might be hours, it might be days, it might be weeks." Shortly after the news of De Niro's restaurant broke, President Trump appeared to pin the blame on the media, tweeting: "A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News." He made no direct reference to the device found at the restaurant, or any of the earlier incidents.
