How far away should you sit from your computer monitor or laptop?

Engadget

The arm's length rule is a good starting point because the ideal distance between your eyes and your monitor is anywhere from 20-28 inches. That upper limit roughly lines up with the average adult arm length, which is about 28-31 inches. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that you keep the monitor about 20-28 inches away from you, for 24-inch displays. For 27-inch monitors, consider increasing that distance to 24-32 inches. Once you reach monitor sizes of 32 inches or larger, you'll need to be even further away to keep the display within your field of view so you don't need to move your neck around all the time.

Davey promises tax cuts for millions if UK rejoins EU single market

BBC News

The Liberal Democrats will fight the next general election on a promise to cut taxes for millions of workers, Sir Ed Davey has said in a speech to his party conference. The Lib Dem leader said that if he gained power, he would raise the annual tax-free personal allowance to £15,000. He would also raise the 40p income tax threshold from £50,270 to £56,000, in a £17bn package funded by the economic boost he says would come from the UK rejoining the EU single market and customs union. He claimed the plan would mean a £680 cut for most taxpayers but it would not come into full effect until the fifth year of a Lib Dem government - potentially up to eight years away. The announcement was greeted with sustained applause by Lib Dem MPs and activists in the Brighton conference centre.
