This is kind of a strange one to review. The original CBC documentary is probably the greatest piece of film about BA ever created. The concert footage features some fantastic 5 star performances. So why only give the DVD 3 stars?
When the Waking Up The World DVD was first announced, I started dreaming of the possibilities. They could've made it a 2 disc set, with a complete concert from the 1992 tour on one disc and an extended cut of the CBC documentary on the second. There were a few different cuts of the documentary in circulation so to create an extended cut wouldn't have required too much effort. Think I'm expecting too much? Well just go and look at some DVD packages from other artists and you will see how much they give their fans on each DVD set.
The Waking Up The World DVD was originally scheduled for released in 2003, but was eventually given out to the fan club members when they renewed their membership in 2007. There was no word on what the content was so no one knew what to expect.
So you can understand my (and many others') disappointment when the DVD finally arrived and it only featured a shortened version of the documentary plus live performances already featured on the So Far So Good (And More) package and in the original documentary. There was nothing new, we'd seen it all before.
On top of this the artwork is in the style of the 2000/01 era, instead of the the 1991/93 era, and once again, the track listing features some typos. Is it so much effort to get it right?
That's the key word here: effort. With a bit more effort this DVD could've been the greatest Bryan Adams DVD package by a long shot. Instead it's just mediocre.

Skill Level Intermediate
In this exercise we are going to get our first taste for how layer comps function inside Photoshop. I am going to start things off by adding the zipper along the bottom of the screen and I am going to do that by clicking on the bar layer that is clicking the eyeball in front of bar layer in order to turn it on so we can see it and clicking in front of the face-off layer as well and it reads DNN Live this is of course Dinosaur National News. That's the ticker that would sort of go by at the bottom of the screen were this a live video feed. Now I like this greenish cast that I have got assigned to the image currently because it invokes a certain sort of retro TV sort of retro computer field as well, has a combination of worst of TV and worst of DOS effect going here.
But then I thought well maybe it would be cool to make it all red like blood. So I added this reddish layer at the top of the stack another hue/saturation layer the idea being that it's just easier to heap on more adjustment layers as opposed to go back and edit the previous ones. And if I feel like the effect at this point is a little hyper saturated thanks to the fact that I added that Boost Sat Layer that saturation booster layer a few exercises ago that I could compensate by double clicking on this thumbnail right here to bring up the hue/saturation dialog box.
Then I click inside that saturation value and press Shift Down arrow a couple of times in order to reduce that saturation to plus 20% as opposed to plus 40%. Now I am going to Click OK in order to accept that modification. Now at this point let's say I am just not sure. I am not sure if I want the composition to look red or green or if I want the zipper to be at the bottom of the screen or at the top of the screen and as it turns out you can save layered states inside of a composition from the layers comps palette, you can save which layers are visible, you can save the blend modes that are assigned to different layers, you can save the opacity values, you can save the layer effects like drop shadows and glows and so on and you can save the position of layers as well.
So I can say whether the zipper is at the bottom of the screen or the top of the screen all using layer comps, they are so great as it turns out and I have already created a few of them in advance for you. I am going to go up to the Window menu and I am going to choose the layer comps command, you can also get to it by pressing Alt F7 or Option F7 on the Mac if you loaded my Deke keys shortcuts. And for me that's going to display the layer comps palette in a new doc here behind the Layers palette and I am going to hide the Layers palette for a moment and sort of mess with the layers comps palette so that it becomes part of this second column of icons.
And I am going to do that by dragging the grey sort of empty title bar above the word layer comps and I am going to drag this item over so that I see a tiny blue horizontal strip right there at the top of the second column and then I am going to release and it goes ahead and adds this little page icon right there that indicates layer comps. Now I am going to go ahead and expand this doc so that we can see all of the palettes at the same time. And I might make the layer comps palette a little taller like this here. Alright so you notice that I have got three layer comps altogether and at their simplest layer comps allow you to save which layers are visible and which layers are turned off.
And if you do nothing more than that with them they are still very powerful tools. Alright I am going to bring the Layers palette back up on screen at the same time here and I am going to scale it down a little bit so that we can still see the layer comps at the same time and I am going to go ahead and twirl open my group so that we can see all these groups toward the bottom of the palette actually I am going to make the palette a little taller so that we can see everybody. Alright let's start with the base layer. Now clicking on one of these layer comps doesn't in an of itself do anything. If you want to switch to a layer comp you have to click in front of it in order to switch the placement of that little page icon.
So I will click in front of base layer and notice that Photoshop goes ahead and turns off every single layer. Some of the layer groups are still turned on but the layers inside of the groups are turned off to some extent or other so that the only layer that's visible is the background layer when we are working with this comp. If you click in front of Stretch, that also turns on the stretch layer down here. And then finally if I click on white type, I will click in front of white type that is, I will go ahead and turn on several layers inside of the composition including the bar layer and the face-off those two layers that represent the zipper at the bottom of the screen.
Some things though are getting a little less. For example remember that boost sat layer, I was referring it to just a moment ago, we created that layer inside of this chapter and if you double click on it you may recall that it boosted the saturation to 30% so it raised the saturation of the entire composition. Well we have created this layer since I created the white type layer comps. So the white type layer comp can't be expected to have any knowledge of this boost sat layer. So here's what I am going to do. Notice that right now the page icon appears in front of white type.
As soon as I turn on boost sat, the page icon moves to last document state showing us that this layer composition has not been saved. So this is an unsaved custom layer state at the present moment in time. If we want to go ahead and save it then I would go ahead and close Layers palette just to get it out of the way here. I would make sure that white type is selected and then I would move to the bottom of the palette to this double arrow going in a circle icon which allows me to update the layer comp.
I would click, nothing happens, it doesn't turn on or off any new layers all it does is it updates white type to represent this layer state including the recently added boost sat adjustment layer.

Literally as we grabbed the handle to open the door we noticed two women coming out at the same time and they said "i hope you dont get treatments here". NOT a good first impression. Once we were inside, It seemed new but the smell of burnt skin was nausiating in the tight waiting room. After being greeted we were taken in to a room where we were given "suggestions" and pricing. We could hear people on the otherside of the paper-thin walls all while "spa music" played at a failed attempt to woo the customer into feeling like they were in a SPA.
After the rude girl realized that we werent about to make an "on the spot decision", she printed out a quote and we were whisked out, apparently to make room to herd more cattle. I found it to be classless and the staff is obnoxious and snotty. THIS IS NO SPA! I wouldnt put my face in their hands for a massage, let alone laser treatments!
WE WOUND UP LEAVING AND GOING TO A REAL SPA IN NYC (I wont mention the good spas name because they dont belong in the same review as laser plus blah). dont waste your time.

The Freedom Association is a non-partisan, pressure group dedicated to fighting for individual liberty and freedom of expression.
In the aftermath of the banking crisis, which in turn led to the global recession, there is still much anger towards the City of London for its role in exacerbating the situation. Our latest publication, "In Defence of the City: A Collection of Essays", is designed to elucidate the role of the City and its place in the UK economy. The book was officially launched at a session of the 2013 Freedom Zone, an event organised by The Freedom Association at the Conservative Party Conference. The session was entitled "The City fiddles while the UK burns" and featured four of the authors in this book as panellists.
The book is a publication of six essays – all by esteemed authors who each focus on a certain aspect of the City and its contribution to the UK economy. The format of the book is as follows:
Introduction by Mark Littlewood (Director General of the Institute for Economic Affairs)
Chapter 1: On the social usefulness of Lord Turner by Professor Tim Congdon
Chapter 2: In Defence of a Free Market City: Time to separate banking and money from the state by Professor Tim Evans
Chapter 3: The City of London: a unique democracy, and our greatest economic asset by Deputy Alex Deane CC
Chapter 4: The importance of the City Legal sector to the UK economy by Duncan Flynn
Chapter 5: Britain needs a healthy City and Fund Management industry by Anthony Wilkinson
Chapter 6: An engine room, not a casino: the City's role through history by Abhishek Majumdar
At just a few days short of the 5-year anniversary of the partial nationalisation of RBS and HBOS, these essays aim to instigate a more balanced, dispassionate debate about the future of the City. Much of the political debate up to this point about the wrongdoings of City bankers has been, as Mark Littlewood puts it, "ill informed and unedifying." The time has come for a rational and reasoned debate with important questions asked: how should the mistakes of the City be dealt with? Is there too much, too little or simply misdirected regulation of the City? Is the financial services industry in the UK too large? How can growth in the UK economy be encouraged through the City?
The Freedom Association published this book in order to answer these questions and many more, to bring this debate forward so that governments can encourage economic growth rather than restrict it.
Among the many aspects which are discussed in this book, the highlights include :
– Professor Tim Congdon's criticism of Lord Turner, the head of the FSA who has seemingly been on an anti-finance crusade
– Professor Tim Evans' detailed proposal for the future of a safe, independent financial services industry
– Alex Deane's discussion of the City's contribution to all manner of public life – diplomacy, open spaces, public health, arts and heritage as well as numerous charitable foundations, which are run on City funding
– Anthony Wilkinson's explanation of the problems of excessive regulation and the threat of Asian markets to British financial success
– Abhishek Majumdar's focus on the historical purpose of the City and his take on the concentration of graduates and skilled workers in London
The book is truly unmissable for anyone interested in the future of the City of London and the government's policy towards the financial industries. Not only is it essential for workers in the financial services, but it is also easily understandable. It is rare to have a collection of six such erudite, concise and thought-provoking articles by such esteemed authors. As Mark Littlewood says in his introduction:
"In Defence of the City" is an important document. Some five years on from the financial crash, perhaps the fog is finally clearing and a more reasoned, rational and informed debate about the future of our financial services sector can begin. This publication is an important contribution to that debate.
Let us hope it may even mark a turning point at which we begin to generate greater public understanding of the vital role the City plays and how we can create the right policy framework for it to flourish in the years to come.
If you would like to have a copy of the book, then please e-mail Rory Broomfield at firstname.lastname@example.com . The book is priced at the fantastic value of just £10.00. For any related news, you can like The Freedom Association on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to show your support and ensure you receive all TFA news and events notices. Our thanks go to all the authors and to Bretwalda Books, our publisher.
We hope that this new publication will inform the debate, which will ensure a more free, prosperous and future for financial services in the UK, which remain a vital asset for the UK in a global economy.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Troy Griepentrog
Community Chickens, chickens
Bob Berry owns Bob's Biddies, a small hatchery that specializes in Rhode Island Red and Dominique chickens in Ray City, Ga. Berry hatches 1,000 Rhode Island Red chicks and 500 Dominique chicks each month throughout the year. About 85 percent of the eggs he incubates hatch. We talked with Berry to ask his advice on incubating eggs.
How did you get started in the hatchery business?
When I was a youngster, we always raised a lot of chickens. Some were sold as grown chickens, and we sold eggs, too. I've always had a love for chickens. Taking care of them was part of my daily chores.
My professional career took me a different route. When I had to retire, my wife Diane and I tried to come up with something that I could do while she's at work. I decided to start working with poultry again .Because I have physical limitations, the hatchery venture seemed to make sense.
Why did you choose to specialize in Rhode Island Reds and Dominiques?
We tried other breeds. But the Rhode Island Reds and Dominiques are old breeds that most people are familiar with. Both breeds are great egg-layers.
What are the most important things to remember when incubating eggs?
Other than temperature, humidity is the most important thing. Keep it between 58 and 62 percent for the first 18 days of incubation. Increase humidity the three days prior to hatching.
Turning of the eggs frequently is also important.
There's no need to turn eggs while they're in storage prior to putting them in the incubator, but store them at 52 to 58 degrees Fahrenheit.
Don't wash eggs if you plan to incubate them.
Keep good records and calendar reminders, too. I move hatching eggs from the incubator to a hatcher unit a few days before they hatch. If you keep eggs in the incubator too long and they hatch while it is still in the rotation mode, you end up with a big mess. I've miscalculated days and speak from experience.
Do have any advice for starting chicks that come in the mail?
Just before a chick hatches, it absorbs the last part of the egg yoke, which allows the chick to survive the first three days without water or food. So, there's only a small window of time to work with. I tell all of my customers to start the chicks on sugar water as soon as the chicks arrive — and keep them on this for the first two weeks. I have used this method for a long time, and it has proved itself. I also advise customers to get a good chick starter feed or a combination starter/grower.

I highly recommend Dr. Zandi. He listens to what you have to say and comes up with a plan to help.
Dr. Zandi is an excellant Doctor and has provided me with great patient care. He is very thorough, detailed and spends quality time in explaining everthing, each and every time I have visited him.
Having recently seen Dr. Zandi a number of times in the last two months, I cannot thank him enough for the great job he has done taking care of me. I was scheduled to have surgery by another Doctor and it was determined that I had high blood sugar and blood pressure. After my first visit, Dr. Zandi put me on a strict diet, exercise and medication. My blood sugar level and blood pressure have decreased significantly and I have lost over 35 pounds. Dr. Zandi also referred me to a Cardiologist to ensure that my heart was in good condition prior to the surgery. Without the expert care by Dr. Zandi I would not have been able to have the successful surgery that was needed. As Dr. Zandi has expressed to me that the need for surgery may have saved my life for without making the changes he prescribed I was headed down a much more dangerous path health wise. I truly feel that Dr. Zandi is the one that potentially saved me. Dr. Zandi has taken the time during each appointment to thourghly explain my health, progress and continued care. Dr. Zandi has always been very patient and compasionate in listening to any and all of the questions that I have had and responding in the same manner. Not once throughout the process did I once ever feel rushed or not feel important. I would highly recommend Dr. Zandi to anyone in need of a Primary Care Physician.
Such a caring, intelligent man. Good patient educator & good listener. Gentle in touch, manner, & sensibilities. Phones promptly if he needs to discuss something worrisome.
Dr. Zandi has caught things regarding my health that other doctors had said were because I was obese. Dr. Zandi ran some simple tests and found out that I had Diabities and had he not cared enough to listen to my symptoms I may have kept spirally out of control with my diabities. Dr. Zandi really cares. A rare trait in todays Medical Profession.
Family Medical overall has the best physicians I've ever know; (consistent, intelligent, kind, caring and the staff expedites appts. the same day. Dr's follow up with phones calls. After seeing Dr. Harley for 15 years, I've benn lucky enough to have Dr. Zandi as my primary phys. He's excellent; there's not enough I can say about him other than I don't ever want to see another Dr. (other than than the other Family Med. physicians). They're great. In-house lab and ex-ray is fantastic as well.
This Doctor is very therough!

The No. 2 Gophers women's hockey team (21-6-5, 17-5-4-3 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) earned just one point in this weekend's series against St. Cloud State, a team Minnesota had previously lost to just twice in school history.
In the standings, Friday night's contest counts as a 2-2 tie, but losing in a shootout did nothing to improve the Gophers' confidence before dropping Saturday's game 6-3. Minnesota impressively outshot the Huskies both nights but was unable to capitalize on numerous chances.
Sophomore goalie Alyssa Grogan started Friday's game in net for the Gophers. Grogan allowed only two goals throughout all of regulation and the overtime period, but could not stop either shot she faced in the shootout.
Minnesota trailed most of the night Friday and despite looking flat in the first period, controlled the game the rest of the way. The Gophers outshot the Huskies 27-6 in the final two periods as part of an unsuccessful comeback effort.
"It was a tough one tonight," Minnesota head coach Brad Frost said. "I thought, for the most part, the effort was there, in particular in the third [period]. When we needed a goal, we went out and got one. We could have used one more, obviously, but we had some good opportunities. The puck didn't bounce and go in the net."
Frost said he doesn't believe it is a lack of effort that is leading to his teams' inability to score goals. Senior forward Brittany Francis echoed this sentiment and said everyone has been playing hard.
Frost was disappointed with the results but liked the way his team played all weekend.
"We would feel a lot better if we had won the shootout, but I don't think that [losing the shootout] should necessarily determine the focus on how we played," he said.
Whether the shootout loss determined the team's focus, the Gophers couldn't bounce back Saturday, dropping the second game 6-3 . Minnesota again outshot the Huskies 48-20, but failed to convert when necessary.
"[The girls] know they need to score goals. Our top goal scorer is out of the lineup and our top goalie is in Vancouver," Frost said. "We need some of our big-time players to start stepping up and start putting the puck in the net for us."
The Gophers were without leading goal scorer Emily West, who was injured last weekend in a game against the University of Minnesota-Duluth. They are also missing starting goaltender Noora Räty, who is in Vancouver competing for Finland in the Winter Olympics.
West's absence has been noticeable on the ice and in the scorebook the past two weekends, but the team isn't using that as an excuse for the lack of production.
"We've just got to pick it up and work as a team," freshman Kate Frischmann said of West's absence. "It hurts with her gone, but we can do it."
Junior goalie Jenny Lura started Saturday and allowed five goals. St. Cloud State added an empty-netter to seal the victory.
The Gophers had a tough time dealing with the reality that they generated plenty of scoring opportunities and still came up short in the search for a win.
"We dominated them on the shot chart, but not on the scoreboard where it really matters," Frost said.
Minnesota enters a border battle next weekend as they host No. 10 Wisconsin in search of goals, an elusive win and a chance to clinch the WCHA crown. Entering the final regular season weekend, the Gophers sit two points ahead of Minnesota-Duluth, who travel to Bemidji State next weekend.

Marshall Brickman
Marshall Brickman sees an upside to aging. He's perhaps best known for collaborating with Woody Allen on films like Annie Hall and Manhattan. When he was 27, he was the head writer for The Tonight Show, and, now in his mid-sixties, he's co-writer of the Broadway hit, Jersey Boys.
And it just so happens that Brickman is also something of a mathematician. Get a calculator and follow closely. Brickman figures that if you marry someone younger than you, he or she ages more quickly than you as time passes. In other words, the ratio of your age to your spouse's declines. Now that's fancy math.

Government Shutdown Puts CFTC in Sleep Mode, Prompts Potential Freezes at SEC
As the government shutdown rippled across Washington, one agency particularly hard hit was the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The agency's spokesman sent an email Tuesday saying that the agency's public affairs office "is now closed due to a lack of appropriations." The agency's enforcement division, which is juggling high-profile cases against firms such as MF Global Holdings Ltd. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., has only eight permanent employees on staff, with others who can be deemed necessary for a particular case, according to a person familiar with the agency.
The CFTC's summary of operations during a shutdown, released last week, said the functions of the enforcement division will "largely cease." The agency's market oversight and surveillance functions also are expected to come to a halt, the summary said. Still, futures exchanges will continue to be able to monitor markets for any irregular trading activities.
The shutdown comes at an awkward time for the CFTC, which is in the middle of implementing new regulations for derivatives markets. New rules for trading venues that will process derivatives transactions start Wednesday and the CFTC has a total of 28 people working Tuesday, according to the agency's shutdown plan. A spokesman for the National Futures Association, the industry's self-regulatory agency, said it is fielding last minute questions from firms preparing for the deadline.
At the Securities and Exchange Commission, regulators have enough leftover cash from the prior fiscal year to operate normally for "a few weeks," according to spokesman John Nester, who said the agency doesn't anticipate an interruption in any meetings of the five-member commission. He said the agency is considering freezes in hiring and travel to make the carryover funds last longer.

Citroen C1 review
Latest C1 is much improved, with distinctive styling and a better driving experience. But interior space could still be better.
The Citroen C1 makes a good first impression with its distinctive styling – a result of quirky split-level headlights and an extensive range of contrasting colour and trim options. The colour continues inside, which gives the car cheerful feel, plus this latest C1 is more lavishly equipped than the original.
Despite the fresh styling, the Mk2 C1 carries over a great deal from the previous model. The 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech engine is all-new, though, and finally gives the French city car a bit more motorway cruising ability, despite remaining impressively efficient, with CO2 emissions of less than 100g/km. Refinement is better than before, although the engines still aren't the quietest in the class, and the ride can get quite unsettled. The rear seats and boot are quite cramped compared to rivals, too.
So while the Citroen C1 is chic, fun and affordable, other city cars can do what it does better.
The latest Citroen C1 is the second-generation model, and as with the original, it's the product of a collaboration between Citroen, its sister brand Peugeot and Toyota.
Mk1 versions of the platform-sharing Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo city cars proved very popular with buyers. The programme began as the B-Zero project, and first bore fruit in 2005, when cars started rolling off the lines at the Toyota Peugeot Citroen Automobile factory in the Czech Republic. Collectively, more than 750,000 examples of the three models were sold, but nearly a decade on and the market for urban runabouts is a lot tougher. The latest trio has to compete with strong rivals such as the Skoda Citigo, Hyundai i10 and Renault Twingo.
But aside from the all-new body and interior design, there's more to suggest the latest C1 has moved with the times. The first bit of good news is the addition to the range of the new 1.2-litre PureTech engine, which gives the car a much more sprightly feel, although the old 1.0-litre engine has been carried over. Both engines come with a five-speed manual gearbox, or the five-speed ETG automated manual option.
The chassis is closely related to the first-generation car's, too, but this has also been uprated, with revised spring and damper rates, a bigger front anti-roll bar and a modified torsion beam rear axle.
The latest body brings a bit of contemporary styling flair, and the C1 is still available with the option of three or five doors. Plus, a new Airscape version adds an electric peel-back fabric roof in the mould of the Fiat 500C.
Image 4 of 10
Three trim levels are offered: Touch, Feel and Flair. The entry-level Touch provides remote central locking, electric windows and an MP3-compatible stereo, but upgrading to Feel brings body-colour wing mirrors and door handles, air-conditioning, a height-adjustable driver's seat and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
The range-topping Flair features 15-inch alloy wheels, tinted glass, a rev counter, electric mirrors and a rear parking camera.
Citroen predicts that Feel will be the best seller in the range, and it's our choice from the line-up, too.
Engines, performance and drive
As the Citroen C1 uses the same underpinnings as its predecessor (except for a redesigned rear axle, saving 4kg, plus new shock absorbers and revised anti-roll bars), it's not surprising to find that it feels rather similar from behind the wheel.
This means a supple ride that irons out small imperfections in the surface well, but can become a little bouncy over a series of consecutive bumps, as well as light steering that offers barely any feedback yet is a doddle to use around town. The soft suspension and numb steering mean body control is fairly loose in corners, although parking is especially easy given the car's dinky overall length.
Buyers can choose between a development of the old car's willing 69bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder VTi engine, with optional Stop & Start, or a range-topping 82bhp 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech, which delivers a welcome dose of pace. As there's just 860kg to haul around, the C1 is a lively performer, even from low revs where it's happy to pull away from a crawl in third gear.
This engine is definitely the one to go for. It may only have an extra 13bhp, but as the car is so light you really notice the extra oomph. Both engines thrum a little at idle, but once up to speed they soon settle – although the 82bhp motor is a lot more able at higher speeds.
Image 2 of 10
The figures hammer home the point, as the 1.0-litre model takes 14.3 seconds to sprint from 0-62mph, while the 1.2-litre completes the benchmark in 11 seconds dead.
If you're mainly going to be driving the car around town and over shorter distances, the 1.0-litre engine is still a good choice, revving sweetly and achieving over 70mpg. However, unless you're a martyr to environmental causes or on a strict budget, the bigger engine seems like a no-brainer due to its extra flexibility.
If you're planning on driving extended distances in either, be prepared to steel yourself against the noise – or take earplugs. That charismatic three-cylinder thrum is fun to start with, but turns into a tiring drone at higher cruising speeds.
We can't really recommend the automated manual gearbox option, either, as the changes can be jerky and unpleasant.
MPG, CO2 and running costs
The previous-generation C1 was offered with a diesel engine, but that was dropped in 2009, and the focus once again is on small-capacity petrol units.
The most efficient option is the e-VTi 68 S&S with a five-speed manual. This model uses stop/start to keep CO2 emissions down to only 88g/km, and Citroen claims it will return an impressive 74.3mpg fuel economy.
The same engine is offered with a five-speed ETG automated manual gearbox, but our choice is the new 82bhp 1.2 PureTech with a five-speed manual gearbox, which serves up significantly better performance across the rev range. It still manages to return 65mpg and emit 99g/km of CO2, with the latter helping it scrape into the free road tax band.
Insurance groups
The little Citroen is not a common choice for fans of high-performance cars, or a target for thieves, and as a result insurance groups are reassuringly low. They range from group 6 for the 1.0-litre car to group 12 for the 1.2-litre version in the highest trim level.
Image 6 of 10
So if you're a mature driver with a decent driving record, you'll be laughing. Younger motorists, or those whose insurers consider them a liability, might want to look elsewhere, though. For example, the Skoda Citigo line-up ranges from insurance group 2 to group 4.
The previous-generation Citroen C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo turned out to be winners on the depreciation front; and although the C1 held on to the least value of the trio, there wasn't a great deal in it. The counterpoint is that the Citroen was the cheapest of the trio to buy new. That remains the case today, with the C1 costing less than its equivalent Peugeot 108 and Toyota Aygo sister models.
Of course, considering the added competition in the city car sector these days, those rock-solid residuals have softened a fair bit, but with the starting prices so low the financial pain is reduced – even when you're losing 55 per cent or more of the new value after three years. Plus, you can reduce your exposure further by agreeing a decent discount, which Citroen dealers are often open to negotiating.
Interior, design and technology
Although the latest Citroen C1 has almost identical dimensions to its predecessor – not surprising as it's a development of the previous-generation model's platform – the company has done a great job of making the design fun, fresh and entirely different from its Toyota and Peugeot sister cars.
The split headlight design is an interpretation of the same theme you'll find on the Citroen C4 Cactus, while vertical LED lights are integrated neatly into the front bumper.
At the rear, square 3D-effect tail-lamps and a blacked-out glass tailgate are also distinctive, while the side profile is shared with the Aygo and 108. It's a similar story with the interior design; this is replicated across all three of the city cars, with the exception of the badges.
Colour-coded trim on the centre console and gearlever surround, as well as flashes of exterior colour on the doors and the option of striped seat upholstery, ensure the C1's interior is light and cheery.
Image 3 of 10
The driver sits in front of a single binnacle housing a large speedometer dial, while the infotainment and nav systems are located on a separate 'floating' binnacle in the centre of the dash. It looks good, but the cabin control layout is less intuitive from the driver's perspective than, say, the Skoda Citigo's.
Push and scratch some of the surfaces and it's instantly obvious that the quality of materials isn't up to the standard of a Volkswagen up!, although the Mk2 C1 has a better finish than before, and by no means feels bargain basement.
The little Citroen doesn't feel like a technology fest inside, but buyers don't expect much at this end of the new car market. Even so, there are some highlights – apart from the touchscreen and reversing camera (on Flair models), you can have keyless entry and keyless start, while all versions of the C1 feature hill-start assist.
Sat-nav, stereo and infotainment
Flair and Feel models come equipped with a seven-inch touchscreen designed to mirror the screen of Android smartphones. The trouble is, as promising as this sounds, the technology doesn't feel as though it's been fully developed yet. The operating interface isn't seamless, and may cause some frustration to people who are used to the slick interfaces on tablets and consoles. The MirrorLink function is not compatible with all smartphones, either.
Practicality, comfort and boot space
If you want an affordable car that can transport four adults over short distances, but will be used mainly with one or two passengers on board, then the Citroen C1 is a good choice. We'd go for the five-door model, simply because it only costs £400 more than the three-door and makes access to the rear much easier, yet looks just as good. You can order the three and the five-door models with an Airscape peel-back fabric roof for around £850 extra. This set-up adds another dimension to the character of the Citroen C1, but causes refinement to suffer slightly at higher speeds.
It's not surprising that rear seat passengers aren't terribly well catered for, although the story is mixed up front, too. While there's plenty of room, drivers don't get the range of adjustability expected of bigger cars. So there's no reach adjustment on the steering wheel, and the basic model doesn't offer seat height movement, either. If you intend to spend much time behind the wheel, you'd better make sure you can get comfortable.
Every model in the current crop of city cars is cleverly packaged, but the Citroen C1 is one of the most compact of the bunch.
At 3,460mm from nose to tail, it's comfortably shorter than the 3,645mm Hyundai i10 and 3,563mm Skoda Citigo. It's narrower, too – the 1,620mm-wide C1 compares to the 1,660m i10 and 1,641mm Skoda. No wonder parking is a doddle.
Leg room, head room & passenger space
Adults sitting in the back will just fit behind a similarly sized driver and passenger, but it's a serious squeeze and rear headroom is tight for anyone approaching six foot tall. And while there are seatbelts in the rear for three passengers, they'd better be super-skinny.
You do get Isofix mounts for child seats, but you'll want the five-door version to install them (and the kids) unless you're a contortionist. Still, finding homes for your other bits and pieces shouldn't be too hard, as there's a good-sized glovebox, cup-holders and storage in the centre console.
While the Citroen C1 can carry four adults at a push, it's best to leave your luggage behind if you have any, as the 196-litre boot is only really suitable for small shopping bags. If you need more space you can fold the rear seats down – this frees up a maximum boot capacity of 780 litres – although the C1 isn't helped by the fact its seats don't fold completely flat. It's also hampered by a relatively high loading lip.
If space is a critical issue, consider the Skoda Citigo or Hyundai i10; both serve up over 250 litres without the need to fold the seats.
Reliability and Safety
By carrying over the basic chassis architecture and 1.0-litre engine from the previous-generation C1, Citroen is working with proven mechanicals.
French manufacturers don't have the best reliability records, but considering a large chunk of the development work was conducted by Toyota (a brand famed for its bulletproof dependability), it's a safe bet that the C1 won't go wrong very often.
Under the skin, the C1 is a simple car, so there's relatively little to break, and although the quality of some of the interior materials isn't up the standard of some rivals, there's nothing yet to suggest it won't be sufficiently resilient. This is reflected in the car's score in the Auto Express Driver Power 2015 satisfaction survey; although the C1 came a disappointing 97th overall, it ranked an impressive 43rd for reliability.
While changes under the skin are limited, Citroen's engineers bolstered the side impact protection, in a bid to improve on the previous-generation C1's three-star Euro NCAP rating. This latest car achieved a four-star crash test score.
There's plenty of safety kit available as standard, including six airbags, a chassis stability system, electronic brake assistance and tyre pressure monitoring, which we reckon puts the C1 up there with the best cars in the class. (While the Skoda Citigo and Hyundai i10 have five-star Euro NCAP ratings, both were tested under an earlier and less stringent regime.)
The mechanically identical Toyota Aygo comes with a five-year/100,000-mile warranty package, so Citroen C1 buyers might be a little miffed to discover that their car is supplied with only three years and 60,000 miles of cover. The Hyundai i10 is sold with a five-year deal, too, although the Skoda Citigo carries a similar three-year package to the Citroen.
If you're buying a Citroen C1 as part of an economy drive, you'll be pleased to know that servicing costs won't break the bank. Your dealer will want the car back every 15,500 miles or 12 months to give it a check-up, and service costs start from a reasonable £115.

Sudarshan Sukhani, Technical Trends, in an interview with ET Now talks about his real estate stocks.
What's your take on the closing and some of the moves that we are seeing in mid-cap real estate?
Interest is already there since last week in the real estate pack. This is a momentum trade. Real estate is a high beta sector. The market started moving up. Real estate is likely to outperform but the last thing you want is to make an investment in a real estate company, so it is really for traders. We have these 2-3 day dips. Today was a good day to buy real estate and that has proved correct. Now tomorrow the momentum can continue, then you take your profits and get out, wait again for a consolidation but do not make an investment.

The Trucker News Services
THOMASVILLE, N.C. – Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. today unveiled the third largest roof mounted solar panel photovoltaic (PV) system in the state of North Carolina.
Old Dominion showed off the 1.8 megawatt system during an open house event attended by David Congdon, president and CEO of Old Dominion; North Carolina State Rep. Ruth Samuelson; U.S. Rep. Howard Coble; and SunEnergy1 CEO Kenny Habul. The event was held in conjunction with SunEnergy1, the contractor that built the system at Old Dominion's Vault Logistics warehouse located four miles from the company's corporate headquarters.
The system of 7,660 individual solar panels completely covers the warehouse's 160,000-square-foot roof. The system, which has been operating since late December, can produce more than 2.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year - enough to offset more than 90 percent of the building's annual energy costs (or power 200 houses annually).
"Old Dominion has made a promise to customers, shareholders and employees alike to enhance our corporate sustainability efforts," Congdon said. "As we continue our rapid global expansion, it is increasingly important for us to be mindful of our company's impact on the environment. We're always exploring ways to reduce our carbon footprint – because our commitment to sustainability is another promise we will keep."
In addition to the solar panel installation, Old Dominion has implemented a number of sustainable initiatives in its facilities over the past few years.
Old Dominion has installed more energy-efficient bulbs in 80 percent of its lighting systems at company service centers nationwide as well as adopting industry-leading technologies to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency for its fleet of more than 5,800 tractors. Last year, the company also opened its first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified service center, a facility located in Canton, Ohio.
For more information about Old Dominion, visit www.odfl.com or call (800) 432-6335.

Discover expert tips for designing and implementing a successful peer-to-peer fundraising campaign.
by Mark Becker, Founding Partner, Cathexis Partners
Peer-to-peer fundraising has been a powerful tool in the fundraiser's toolbox for years. Whether it's associated with a large event — like a walk-a-thon, or it's year-round — like a tribute campaign, it's all about engaging supporters to raise funds on your nonprofit's behalf. But, running a peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising campaign can be challenging, involving a great deal of time and logistics. So, whether you're just starting out, or you're looking to polish your P2P approach, it's well worth it to take some time for some up-front planning. See more

Your constituents support your organization's mission and share your goals. They want you to succeed. When supporters become donors, they become even more valuable, both for your nonprofit and your cause. But if you can successfully mobilize them to become fundraisers through a peer-to-peer campaign that makes use of their own wide networks of personal and professional contacts, they can become a powerful source of fundraising.

Alumnae serve as Jesuit Volunteers
Three recent graduates of Spring Hill College answered the call to serve with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps: Ellen Broad '12, Jacqueline Dunsworth '12 and Caroline Wilson '12. During their time as Jesuit Volunteers (JVs), they will be dedicated to living simply and working for social justice in a spiritually supportive community of other JVs.
Broad, a native of Chicago, is working at Most Holy Trinity School in San Jose, Calif. Dunsworth, originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, is working at Grace Academy in Hartford, Conn. Wilson, a Mobile native, is working at St. Mary's Center in Oakland, Calif.
These alumni are among the 323 JVs living in 38 cities in the United States and six other countries across the globe. Jesuit Volunteers work at schools, health clinics, legal clinics, parishes, and nonprofit organizations to provide essential services, saving them a combined estimate of $6 million each year, in comparison to the cost of a salaried employee.
"Each year it is inspiring to welcome a new group of women and men, like the graduates of Spring Hill, who want to serve with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps," said Kathleen Haser, acting president of JVC. "Jesuit Volunteers support local organizations in their work by dedicating a year or more of their life to full time service working with people who are poor and marginalized here in the United States and abroad. JVC is a transformative experience that prepares young men and women for a lifetime of putting faith into action."

Gillian McCombs will discuss the program of the 72nd World Conference and Council of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) in Seoul, Korea. This year's theme - Libraries: Dynamic Engines for the Knowledge and Information Society.
According to the IFLA website at http://www.ifla.org/III/index.htm, it is the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users. It has 1700 Members in 150 countries around the world, and it was registered in the Netherlands in 1971. The Royal Library, the national library of the Netherlands, in The Hague, generously provides the facilities for its headquarters.
This event will be in the CIP conference room on Thursday, September 28 at noon. Please bring your lunch. Drinks and dessert will be provided.
LEAD October event: Suicide Prevention. Have you ever wondered how to handle a potentially suicidal student? What questions to ask? What to do?

Now is the time to join! The Friends of the SMU Libraries were able to award over $30,000 this year in grants to the SMU libraries due to membership support and the fundraising event, Tables of Content. The Friends have implemented an annual renewal system (instead of the previous revolving renewal system) with all membership renewals now happening in August. In addition to streamlining accounting and database processes for the Friends staff, we hope the change will simplify the renewal process for our members as well. If you are currently a Friends member, you should have received a letter with complete details on the new process. If you have questions about your renewal or if you are interested in becoming a Friend, please call Amy (8-1939) or Cindy (8-3225).
The faculty/staff membership rate starts at $30.

Lorraine Tady: Recent Work - August 21st - September 24
Lorraine Tady graduated with a MFA from Southern Methodist University in 1991. She has held various adjunct and sabbatical replacements positions at SMU since 1995 (including Painting and Drawing Lecturer in 2002-2003) and will return in the Fall of 2006 to teach a beginning painting course. The paintings selected are intimate investigations into the language of painting, including topography (thick vs. thin), "drawing into" vs. "drawing onto", wet into wet, wet over dry, transparency vs. opacity, tonality, structure, edge, form and space, adhesion and friction. The process employs diagramming, mapping, plan/elevation, cross-section, translation/re-translation inquiry (or subverting the clarity these systematic intentions may imply) allowing the image to be intuitively found, extracted, analyzed, shifted, and represented in various arrays. Tady has shown regionally and nationally since 1991, and is represented by Barry Whistler Gallery, Dallas, TX.

I am extremely excited to be back in Texas and working for S.M.U.

text: Did you know 10/11 has its own garden? If you're a long-time viewer, you might remember a segment called "Brads Garden" (including an incident involving a very hot pepper!) Although the garden is no longer on-air, employee volunteers have kept it thriving. This year, we planted broccoli, beans, radishes, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, eggplant, basil, rhubarb, onions, and more. Aside from some hungry rabbits and relentless weeds, our garden has produced some beautiful (and tasty!) veggies. Last year, we celebrated with a staff BBQ and ate our garden's bounty. What should we make this year?
