The discordance was clearly no accident. Enterprise was meant to stand apart from other Star Treks in any number of ways—the words “Star Trek” didn’t even appear in the title until the third season. But there was an instant backlash to the saccharine theme when Enterprise premiered in 2001, with fan protests and petitions calling for a return of “score that is without vocals, as traditionally used by Star Trek television series....

Good timing. Concerns about migration, terrorism and access to energy supplies are refocusing EU attention on improving relations with the nations of North Africa, which are emerging from political and economic obscurity. Libya is fast shedding its status as a global pariah, Morocco has recast itself as a Westernized quasi democracy and tourist magnet, and Algeria—now splurging $150 billion on an infrastructure-renewal program—is awash in petrodollars. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking immediately after his election in May, declared: “The time has come to build a ‘Mediterranean Union’ that will be a bridge between Europe and Africa....
In many ways, that suits the main shapers of EU institutions–the French political class. Highly educated and full of a confidence created by its success in transforming postwar France, the French political class has worked for what it calls the “harmonizing” of European policies in one area after another. Its latest agenda is to create common policies in taxation, foreign affairs and defense. These are needed, the French insist, in order to give Europe a political weight that corresponds to its economic weight....
Europe generated 35 pounds of electronic waste per capita last year, the U.N. said. Over half of the electronic waste generated by countries in the European Union is large home appliances, and any electronics that don’t end up being recycled are usually dumped in landfills or transported to developing countries. One nonprofit organization, Repair Café Denmark, organizes up to 15 events every week in the country’s libraries and community centers where people can bring their troubled electronics for free repairs from volunteers....
Wales will be making a first appearance at a major finals since the 1958 World Cup when Chris Coleman’s side kick off their Euro 2016 Group B campaign against Slovakia on Saturday. Ramsey is keen for Wales to stamp their authority early on in the tournament with a positive result in their Bordeaux opener. “I’m excited… normally I’m on holiday now,” the 25-year-old told reporters in France. “Our target is to get out of the group first and I think a win will probably get you through, maybe in third place....
The former WWE Superstar has been a controversial figure, to say the least, as she attracted a lot of heat in her first run. Fans have never quite been behind her and had a lot to say when it was announced she would be returning to WWE. Even after her return, she hardly ever managed to connect with fans and also had several things going against her before she was released....
In 2009, long before he was crowned MVP and NBA champion, a fresh-faced Curry showed up and showed out in Las Vegas as the Warriors’ No. 7 pick. He averaged 17.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists, which, compared to other current NBA stars, was a pretty impressive showing.

In a report released Friday night, the U.S.-based think tank said a “Russian information operation” was claiming troops had made significant progress in the city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. The ISW added that it may have reason to be skeptical of the report, given Russia’s false claims of advancement in the past. “Russian forces are likely falsifying claims of advances in the Bakhmut area to portray themselves as making gains in at least one sector amid continuing losses in northeast and southern Ukraine,” read the report....
The first film features a group of camp counselors who are getting ready to work at a summer camp called Camp Crystal Lake. There was a previous tragedy at the camp, where a boy accidentally drowned and since then the place had been shut down.

Everton 21/10 to beat Palace The former Porto and Valencia boss has taken his side two points clear at the top of the Championship with 35 points from 16 games. Everton’s search for a replacement for Ronald Koeman has so far been fraught with disappointment after Watford rejected their approach for Marco Silva and Sam Allardyce declared himself no longer interested in the role....
The 27-year-old who endured a difficult time under the previous manager Ronald Koeman took his goal tally to seven in 15 league appearances this season to help the Toffees to a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace in their last game. Impressed by his performance, the former England manager has showered encomium on the forward for the showings. “I think Oumar’s position at Everton has never really been as good as it is at the moment,” Allardyce said in a pre-match conference....
The Dutchman has led Everton to a seventh-placed Premier League finish, guaranteeing the Merseyside club Europa League qualification at a time when local media have linked their two biggest stars, striker Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Ross Barkley, with possible moves elsewhere. “We are already two-three months getting a picture on where we need to improve in the transfer window,” Koeman told reporters ahead of Sunday’s league trip to Arsenal....
Niasse won a sixth-minute penalty, converted by Leighton Baines, after Scott Dann was adjudged to have fouled him by referee Anthony Taylor during Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park. Replays suggested contact was minimal and the FA has charged Niasse – who scored his sixth goal of the season later in the match - for “successful deception of a match official”. Niasse must respond by 18:00 GMT on Tuesday to the charge, which will land him with a two-match ban if upheld....
Last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s troops emphatically put their shock defeat to Norwich behind them as they blitzed past Watford 8-0, with Bernardo Silva scoring a hat-trick. Everton, meanwhile, come into the encounter on the back of two successive losses in the league to Bournemouth and Sheffield United. Hence, despite playing at home, the Toffees would be under immense pressure to get something out of the game, a fact emphasised by their lacklustre standing in the Premier League table....
Instead of having to recycle our computers and phones every few years, we will be able to repair and upgrade them. Gadgets will also come with reparability scores, manufacturers may make repair guides available, and advertisers will have to back up any claims for sustainability. But will it make any difference? “By adopting this report, the European Parliament sent a clear message: harmonized mandatory labelling indicating durability and tackling premature obsolescence at EU level are the way forward,” said Rapporteur David Cormand in a statement....
At the time of writing the Smart Scale P1 is at the top end of Eufy’s smart scale lineup, though it’s still a very budget-friendly option.

Price and availability The Smart Scale P1 costs just £49.99/ $44.99, making it the most expensive of Eufy’s scales right now – the others start around £30/$30....
Finishing second in the group means that La Roja will have to get past Group E winner Italy in the first match of the knockout stage to have any chance of repeating, EFE news agency reported. Though playing without injured stars Luka Modric and Mario Mandzukic, Croatia started the match aggressively and Spain, as they have done so many times before, made the opponents pay for their boldness. David Silva worked his magic, directing an exquisite ball to an unmarked Cesc Fabregas, whose cross was hammered home by Alvaro Morata to make it 1-0 for the Spaniards....
