Vue Exeter is encouraging couples to have a cosy date night this Valentine’s Day with a range of new and classic films as well as big screen theatre productions, giving lovebirds a range of great stories to get lost in. Following new research from Vue and University College London, it has been revealed that as viewers watch a film, their heart rates become more closely aligned, often beating in unison. Skin conductance tests also show that certain events in a film trigger an increase in emotional arousal levels. That’s one more reason to visit Vue this Valentine’s Day!
Not long ago, I was sitting in a meeting and noticed that I was the only one there who wasn't being included in the discussion. It wasn't because I didn't have anything to say. Instead, it was because of my gender. In this particular situation, I was being overlooked sheerly because I was a woman – not because I didn't have anything valuable to contribute.
At first, I questioned whether or not this was really what was happening. Perhaps there was some other reason that I was being excluded. Not long ago, however, I attended the Women in Educational Leadership Conference . There, I...

Paignton Zoo in Devon has hatched three very special – and very beautiful - youngsters. Keepers are hand rearing a trio of Chinese crocodile lizards. In 2018, Paignton Zoo became the first major zoological collection in the UK to breed this species.
You may not be familiar with the Chinese crocodile lizard. It’s not surprising; this small, semiaquatic lizard is found only in the provinces of southern China and northern Vietnam. It’s listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to severe population declines and habitat threats.
It may be cold outside, but there’s a warm glow spreading out across the whole of Devon. From coast to countryside, villages and towns to cities, LOVE Devon is bringing communities together to support themselves and each other and to celebrate everything that is good and glorious about living and working in this part of the world.
LOVE Devon was established by Devon Communities Together which is approaching its 60th birthday. The independent charity was set up with the intention of helping communities to help themselves, and LOVE Devon was established as a way of raising awareness...
