Exeter’s oldest building is hotting up with an environmentally friendly heating system.
St Nicholas Priory in Exeter is probably the oldest building in Devon, boasting rare Norman architecture, but a brand-new heating system will soon see it brought bang up to date without impacting on the historic structure.
After years of closure, Exeter Historic Buildings Trust took over St Nicholas Priory in 2018, with the intention of painstakingly restoring the ancient building and adapting it for public use. Since reopening, it has become a thriving community venue hosting an...
For now, New Zealand’s e-commerce market is one of the most rapidly growing in the world. Kiwis are willing to make online purchases both on desktop and mobile, which motivates new companies and technologies to enter the market and to fight for users’ attention.
Simple e-wallets are no longer enough and people are looking for more secure and fast ways of making online payments. One of them is a prepaid card. Today we’ll tell you more about these cards, will explain how you can benefit, and how much Kiwis need to pay for them.
In the modern days, where most individuals live their lives constantly on the go, in order to meet the required nutritional needs, people often choose quick, cheap, and simple meals, which usually means meals packed with processed and high sugar ingredients, over healthy meals. This, along with additional contributing factors such as high levels of stress and lack of sleep may seriously deteriorate our mental and physical health, particularly our gut microbiome. Digestive problems can range from bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea to chronic issues such as irritable bowel syndrome,...
Going into university, you were probably under the impression that you'd have a blissful time. The first few weeks of freshman year were probably the best until you came face to face with reality; the reality that university is not all fun. There are tons of assignments to complete and loads of classes to attend.
Somehow, your life seems to revolve around academics, and if you aren't attending a three-hour lecture, you're either rushing to make it to your next class or struggling to finish an assignment. University is supposed to be the best time of your life; meeting new people...
There are many occurrences in any workplace which are unforeseen and unwarranted, and when something occurs, the workplace and its workers should be well-equipped to deal with the circumstance, whatever it may be. But when an accident in the workplace occurs and it has happened due to negligence, improper training or a lack of training, the use of faulty equipment, improper work practices, and it has resulted in an injury to your person, then you can perhaps be eligible for a workplace compensation claim. But if you are thinking of making a claim, there are certain things you can do to...
Yesterday provided some very interesting housing market intelligence. Hard data from HMRC and market commentary from Rightmove showed that the only certainty is uncertainty and there is no need to rush into buying a home today if you don’t actually need to move home tomorrow. Perhaps Time, Time, Time is the new Location, Location, Location
For me, the most telling commentary was from Rightmove for whom the current level of housing market uncertainty rendered them unable to provide guidance on their future profitability. Rightmove’s revenues are generated from estate agents and...

Devon is in a good position to start welcoming back visitors from July 4th in line with the Government’s target providing the low trend in Covid-19 cases continues.
John Hart, Leader of Devon County Council, one of England’s 11 Beacon Councils who will be leading the future local management of Covid-19 in partnership with the Government, said: “All the evidence from our Public Health experts shows that because we were able to get an early grip on the virus Devon continues to have one of the lowest rates of Covid-19 cases in the country.
Restrictions at Devon’s Recycling Centres are to be eased further this week, with personal vans allowed to bring household waste from Wednesday 24 June. Vans will need to pre-book their visit at three of the county's busiest sites.
To ensure the recycling centres have enough capacity to serve as many people as possible, and to keep unloading times to a minimum, vans will only be able to bring the same amount of waste that would fit in a normal sized family car or trailer.
For example, standard vans such as a Ford Transits, VW Transporters or Vauxhall Vivaros should be no...
