Beat the clocks going back with a sunrise alarm that can 'revolutionise winter mornings'

The clocks are set to change this weekend, Sunday October 27 at 2am. While we do gain an extra hour of sleep, the clocks going back also means darker mornings and shorter days, which can have an unpleasant impact on our morale and productivity.

NASA spends whole month preparing for catastrophic asteroid impact in scary scenario
NASA has told how it has spent the last month preparing for an asteroid impact.The confession was made during the Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise – which is the fourth gathering of several space experts in recent years.Although it was not clear whether or not the organisation is actually worried about an impending impact.Lindley Johnson, planetary defense officer at NASA Headquarters, said: “While NASA has previously led and participated in simulated asteroid impact scenarios, this specific exercise marked the first time an end-to-end simulation of this type of disaster was studied, to include assessing a scenario from discovery of the asteroid impact threat through the aftermath effects of its hypothetical impact with Earth.“An asteroid impact to our planet is potentially the only natural disaster humanity is capable of accurately predicting and preventing.“Conducting exercises of this nature enable government stakeholders to identify and resolve potential issues before real-world actions to respond to an actual asteroid impact threat would ever be needed.”While there are no predicted asteroid impact threats to our planet for the foreseeable future, this exercise - hosted by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland - focused extensively on United States federal and state government coordination that would be necessary to respond to such a threat should one ever be discovered.Over the course of two days, multiple government agency officials worked through a detailed hypothetical scenario in which astronomers “discover” a simulated asteroid, designated 2022 TTX, that has a probability of impacting the Earth six months after its discovery.As more information was revealed to exercise

The Chase's Bradley Walsh demands player 'settle down' in tense scenes
The Chase host Bradley Walsh told a player to 'settle down' in tense scenes during the latest episode.Wednesday's show saw 56-year-old aircraft simulation trainer Bob step up as the first contestant to take on Darragh 'The Menace' Ennis.Earning £3,000 in his solo cashbuilder round, Bob opted for the middle offer and was answering a question about atoms when he was told to "settle down" by Bradley.The 61-year-old host asked: "Concerning the number of electrons surrounding an atom, the octet rule is an important concept in which of the sciences?"Bob responded with the correct answer which was chemistry, but appeared a little too enthusiastic in explaining why he opted for that choice.The enthusiasm led Bradley to reply: "Alright! Settle down, Bob."You could have just said it was chemistry."Bob progressed past his solo cashbuilder and moved on to the final chase, contributing £3,000 to the final pot.While the episode's second player Kate was caught, the third contestant Bernice beat the chaser in her own solo run and brought £8,000 back to the team.The final player up to take on Darragh solo was Adam, who professed to being a quiz master in his spare time.He scored £5,000 in his solo cashbuilder and also progressed to the final chase, where the group would be playing for a final pot of £16,000 - equating to more than £5,000 each. After missing an obvious Romeo & Juliet question, the group scored 18 points in the final chase.They were again chastised by Bradley, who added: "Romeo & Juliet, wow.
