Maybe none of your new year resolutions worked out the way you’ve expected until now, but that’s no reason to give up trying. We’re all work in progress, after all, and we all have the power to change our lives for the better, no matter how difficult it may seem.

If you find yourself at a crossroads and you feel like things have gone completely off track, remember that you can always start anew.
Thinking about retirement can put your head in a spin. There’s certainly lots to consider, such as what lifestyle you want to live, what age you’ll be when you retire, and perhaps most importantly, how much money you need.

An Economics student is juggling his studies with plans to tackle world hunger by developing a ‘nutritionally complete’ food bar, which has already proved a hit with Exeter’s homelessness charities.
James Frost, a third year student at the University of Exeter Business School, was inspired to create the Phoenix Bar after noticing on Facebook that a friend had pledged to eat the same food for a week as Syrian refugees arriving in the UK.
“From the images posted and my understanding of nutrition I could see that the food wasn’t nutritious at all,” James said.
Police officers investigating an indecent incident at Polsloe Bridge station have released images in connection.
At 3pm on Saturday 13 November, a teenage girl noticed a man on the station platform staring at her. She walked over towards a bin and noticed that he was masturbating and exposing himself to her.
Officers believe the man in the images may have information which could help their investigation.
If you recognise him, or have any information, please contact BTP by texting 61016 or calling 0800 40 50 40 quoting...
