Cameron EU Stance on Juncker a 'Catastrophe,' Balls SaysSvenja O'Donnell
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron's failed bid to block Jean-Claude Juncker's appointment as European Commission president is a "catastrophe for the national interest," Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said.
The opposition Labour Party lawmaker's comments reflect the reverberations that continue to be felt in Britain of Friday's European Union summit, when leaders overrode Cameron's objections and nominated the former Luxembourg premier for the EU's top job. Cameron, who received the backing of Hungary only among the EU's 28 member states, is due to address Parliament today on the summit.
"I'm really worried about where we are," Balls told BBC Television's "Andrew Marr Show" yesterday. "We won't be influential in the world unless we are influential in Europe."
Cameron, who has promised a referendum on remaining in the EU by the end of 2017 if he is re-elected, opposed Juncker as being too committed to European integration and not enough to European reform. He also lobbied for EU leaders and not the European Parliament to pick the commission president.
"I strongly believed that an important principle was at stake, and that it was important to stand up for it -– even if it meant being isolated," Cameron said in an op-ed in today's Daily Telegraph newspaper. "I am ready to move on and keep fighting for Britain's interests in Europe."
Job Harder
Cameron told reporters on June 27, after the vote, that "the job has got harder of keeping Britain in a reformed European Union," though "it's still doable and I'm still committed to doing it."
A Survation poll commissioned by the Mail on Sunday showed 47 percent of Britons want to exit the EU, with 39 percent in favor of staying in the bloc.
Foreign Secretary William Hague defended Cameron's stance and said Britain could still deliver the reforms it wants, which include changes to the rules on the movement of people within the region and their rights to claim benefits.
"When it's an argument about principle you've got to stick to that principle," Hague told the Marr show yesterday. "It would be far too early to say it doesn't look like we're going to get those reforms."
John Cridland, head of the Confederation of British Industry, told the Observer newspaper the U.K.'s economic success depends on EU membership.
'Future Failures'
"British businesses are worried that events this week are a foretaste of future failures for David Cameron," Labour foreign affairs spokesman Douglas Alexander said in an e-mailed statement.
While Balls said Labour agreed Juncker wasn't the right candidate for the job, he said it was a mistake for Cameron to attempt to "blackmail" his European peers and criticized him for failing to present a strategy for Britain in Europe.
Balls reiterated that Labour's plans don't necessarily include an in-out referendum.
"Any transfer of powers from Britain to Brussels, we'd have an in-out referendum," he said. "Setting an arbitrary timetable now for a referendum in two years' time is deeply destabilizing, bad for business, bad for jobs, bad for investment, bad for Britain."
The Survation poll showed that should Cameron succeed in winning some powers back for Britain, 41 percent of voters would favor staying in the EU, with 37 percent still supporting an exit. It also showed Labour retains a 9-point lead with 36 percent of support. Survation polled 1,000 people on June 27 and June 28.
Cameron spoke to Juncker yesterday to congratulate him on his appointment and they discussed how to make the EU more competitive and flexible.
Cameron "welcomed Mr. Juncker's commitment of finding a fair deal for Britain and Mr. Juncker said that he was fully committed to finding solutions for the political concerns of the U.K.," Downing Street said in a statement.

Growth in industrial production, retail sales and investment in fixed assets like factories and office buildings was little changed from April.
After an unprecedented surge in Chinese attempts to stimulate the economy in late 2015, mostly on the fiscal side, coupled with recent monetary easing by the PBOC which cut the banks' reserve ratio recently and unleashed a tsunami of new loan creation in January, many expected that this unprecedented credit impulse would translate into at least a modest rebound for the economy, prompting a stable pick up in spending for the economy which many are touting is now consumer-spending driven as opposed to export and production.
Chinese economic data has disappointed markets in the past few months. Here's a look at April, and May.
At the end of 2014, the U.S. was the only bright spot among the world's major economies. Chinese growth was slowing, Europe was flirting with deflation, and Japan was crawling out of recession. But last year's standout economy has fared much worse in 2015. Revised figures show that US GDP shrank 0.7 percent in the first quarter.
Following an unprecedented credit expansion by China, which in the first few months of 2016 injected well over a trillion dollars in total credit, the payback - as previewed here - is coming. As reported earlier, overnight China reported that a swath economic activity, from factory output to investment and retail sales, slowed last month, reflecting renewed weakness in China's economy.
Only the most intellectually dishonest can claim that last night's Chinese economic data deluge was anything but miserable. As we showed last night, everything missed:
The Chinese government's anti-corruption campaign hit luxury shops hard as the gifting expensive items for company executives dwindled — but spare a thought for the country's corporate caterers. The sector was almost wiped out in a stroke when the reforms were announced in 2012, as companies put an end to extravagant parties. Analysts from Merrill Lynch show this in one great chart. Here's what happened:
It was another day of ugly overnight macro data, all of it ouf of China, with industrial production (8.6%, Exp. 9.5%, Last 9.7%), retail sales (11.8%, Exp. 13.5%, Last 13.1%) and fixed asset investment (17.9% YTD vs 19.4% expected) all missing badly and confirming that in a world of deleveraging, the Chinese economy will continue to sputter.
To understand why the retail sector will continue to be such an investment minefield consider just two phrases: Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The latter, the mock tradition of buying stuff online when the boss isn't watching on the Monday after Thanksgiving, is emblematic of the forces challenging a retail industry much of which was built for a U.S-centered cars, parking lots and box store paradigm which makes less and less sense every day.

How Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Fares vs. Apple iPad Pro
How Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Fares vs. Apple iPad ProThe Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro both have new features that will appeal to enterprise users and consumers. Here's how the tablets stack up against each other.
Let's Start With Display SizeThe Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro have different display sizes. The Surface Pro 4 comes with a 12.3-inch touch screen boasting a resolution of 2,736 by 1,824. The iPad Pro, meanwhile, has a slightly larger 12.9-inch screen with a resolution of 2,732 by 2,048. If display quality matters, therefore, the iPad Pro wins out—at least on paper.
An Inside Look at the Key SpecsThe iPad Pro launches with many of the features an Apple customer would expect, including the company's A9X processor that Apple says delivers even more power than many competing notebooks. The iPad Pro also comes with the M9 motion coprocessor. Choices abound on the Surface Pro 4 side, where Microsoft is offering the sixth-generation Intel Core m3, i5 or i7 processor. It's hard to tell until benchmarking is completed, but the Intel Core processor may be more powerful than those in Apple's iPad Pro.
What Operating System Do You Prefer?Before choosing between the iPad Pro and the Surface Book 4, customers should take a hard look at their operating systems and decide which one they prefer. The Surface Book 4 comes with Windows 10 Pro, which should be sufficient for most enterprise customers and consumers. The iPad Pro, meanwhile, runs on iOS 9 and takes advantage of that operating system's new features, including split screen and improved multitasking.
Storage Matters to the EnterpriseIn the enterprise, the amount of storage a company can load into a tablet is of utmost concern. Realizing that, Microsoft has delivered several storage options in the Surface Pro 4. The device's solid-state drive (SSD) options range from 128GB to 512GB. The iPad Pro tops out at 128GB of onboard storage (there is a 32GB version available for those who don't want the higher-end option).
Comparing the Stylus OptionsThe stylus will is an important accessory for both the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 4. The iPad Pro supports the Apple Pencil, a device designed to reflect the feel of an actual pen and respond to how hard it's pressed down on a screen. The Surface Pro 4 comes with the Surface Pen, which has been improved to adapt to over 1,000 input pressures and even features an eraser.
Graphics Could Be a Difference MakerFor corporate users, especially, graphics performance is a major selling point. Realizing that, Microsoft offers several graphics options in its Surface Pro 4. At the simplest level, Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 has an m3 Intel HD graphics 515 GPU. Users can also bump that up to the Intel HD graphics 520 with the Intel Core i5, or the Intel Iris on the i7. Apple didn't do much to tout the graphics capabilities in the iPad Pro, saying only that it'll do a fine job for any task thrown at it.
Examining the Camera DifferencesAlthough cameras aren't the first features consumers try out when they get their hands on a tablet, the components are still important. Both the Surface Pro 4 and the iPad Pro come with 8-megapixel rear-facing cameras that are capable of recording in 1080p. The front-facing camera on the iPad Pro tops out at 1.2 megapixels, compared with 5 megapixels for the Surface Pro 4.
What About Portability?Although the "Pros" are designed to be more functional than mobile, portability is still a factor in the buying decision. Realizing that, Microsoft has made its Surface Pro 4 just 0.33 inches thick, weighing between 1.69 pounds and 1.73 pounds, depending on the version. The iPad Pro weighs between 1.57 and 1.59 pounds, depending on the version, and is 0.27 inches thick. In other words, the devices are about equal when it comes to portability.
The Take on Stands, KeyboardsBoth the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro 4 support an attachable keyboard. Apple's keyboard attaches to the device and acts as both a stand and a handy way to type out messages. It's a full-size keyboard, similar to those available in its MacBook. The Surface Pro 4, like its predecessors, comes with a stand that allows users to view the screen at any angle. There's also an attachable keyboard that, like Apple's option, is slim and lightweight and makes typing out content easy.
How Pricing Factors Into the EquationWhen it's all said and done, pricing matters greatly to consumers and enterprise users alike. The iPad Pro comes in three versions, including two WiFi-only models that cost $799 and $949. The cellular-equipped version costs $1,079. The Surface Pro 4, on the other hand, comes in several versions that start at $899 for the cheapest model with 128GB of storage. Those who want the highest-end Surface Pro, complete with Intel Core i7, 16GB of memory and 1TB of storage, can expect to pay $2,699.
It was just a month ago that Apple rolled out its iPad Pro, designing the tablet to deliver a higher-end experience than previous iPads. Less than a month later, Microsoft has unveiled the Surface Pro 4 as a desirable option for consumers and enterprise users alike. The tablet is the latest in Microsoft's line of professional slates and may just be the company's best yet. From the higher-end specs in its processor line to the high-quality screen, the Surface Pro 4 is easily among the most appealing tablets on the market. But will it have the same appeal as the iPad Pro, which like the Surface Pro 4, is designed for corporate customers first? There are countless companies and consumers around the globe that are now considering buying one or the other. In the following slides, eWEEK will compare the Surface Pro 4 and iPad Pro to help those customers determine which option would be best for their personal needs. Read on to learn more about the iPad Pro and its competitor, the Surface Pro 4.

Learning and teaching
Classes include lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorial sessions. In lectures, you will learn core material, while in laboratory and tutorial sessions you will work on problem-based learning activities in smaller classes. You will spend 15-20 hours per week in lectures, as well as undertaking independent work and study. You will meet with your personal adviser regularly to ensure that you are settling in and progressing well. Throughout your programme, we highlight issues relevant to the professional context of your studies. We strongly encourage you to get experience of applying your knowledge and skills through paid or unpaid work opportunities or a year-long industrial placement.
Independent study
For every hour spent at University you will be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. Your individual study time could be spent preparing for, or following up on formal study sessions; reading; assessing data from experiments; completing lab reports; and revising for examinations.
The direction of your individual study will be guided by the formal study and laboratory sessions you attend, along with your reading and assignments. However, we expect you to demonstrate an active role in your own learning by reading widely and expanding your own knowledge, understanding and critical ability. Independent study will foster in you the ability to identify your own learning needs and determine which areas you need to focus on to become proficient in your subject area. This is an important transferable skill and will help to prepare you for the transition to working life.
Assessment for most modules is through a combination of examination and coursework. Coursework can take many different forms appropriate to the individual module. Laboratory-based modules are often assessed through practical assignments, while more theoretical modules may be assessed through exercise sheets or written assignments. Project work, both group and individual, forms a significant component of assessment in your programme. During your second year, you will undertake an extended group project and during your final year, you will undertake a substantial individual project. You will be guided in your project work by a supervisor, who will meet with you regularly and advise you on both academic content and project management issues. Projects are normally assessed through a combination of written report, practical demonstration and oral examination.

It should have been a powerful hit back against the big six energy companies on behalf of the nation's beseiged households.
Instead, last week's announcement that the energy regulator was moving to simplify and restrict the huge range of energy tariffs and unfathomable bills faced by consumers desperate to minimise the effects of soaring costs, fell into the hole created by David Cameron's seemingly mistaken pledge to force energy providers to place customers onto their lowest tariff. Confused? You're not alone.
Here's what we know. On Friday, Ofgem announced a series of proposals that would "improve radically the competitiveness of the household energy market". They include plans to ban complex multi-tier tariffs, uncompetitive dead tariffs that are no longer available for new customers and to limit the number of core tariffs each supplier is allowed to offer.
A tariff comparison rate will also do away with the impossible task of trying to work out which is better with today's apples vs pears scenario.
Two years in the making, the regulator's aim is to remove the unwieldy and opaque bills that energy companies have been allowed to hide behind for far too long while giving consumers the opportunity to easily grab the best deal on offer.
"Our plans will put an end to consumers being confused by complex tariffs and will usher in a simpler, clearer, fairer and more competitive energy market for all consumers," says the chief executive of Ofgem, Alistair Buchanan. So it's all good news.
Except that, as we know, an overenthusiastic David Cameron has already come out with "I can announce that we will be legislating so that energy companies have to give the lowest tariff to their customers." Hmm.
Speculation abounds that this was nothing more than a gaffe, particularly as neither Ofgem, the Department of Energy and Climate Change nor the energy suppliers appeared to know anything about it. Indeed, there must have been a collective blink of surprise up and down the country because if this is any more than a slip of the tongue it's a truly terrible idea. Yes, the guarantee of the cheapest deal sounds great, but the logistics would surely be impossible to fulfil and, crucially, the "lowest tariff" wouldn't actually mean anything because suppliers would rapidly make this one-size-fits-all price a high one.
"This has to be a mistake – the unintended consequences would be to kill competition," adds Ann Robinson, the director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com. "Consumers will be left with Hobson's choice – there will be no spur, no choice, no innovation and no reason for consumers to engage any more.
"The only glimmer of hope would be that smaller suppliers will be able to offer cheaper prices than the big six and therefore competition is able to continue in that arena."
Astonishingly it seems that instead of acknowledging a simple mistake, Cameron is going to stick with it and we wait with wide eyes and bated breath to see what on earth happens next.
Unfortunately, none of this will ultimately lead to what consumers want to hear – that their energy bills will be coming down.
Dismissing the PM's statement for the moment, Ofgem's plans are vital for customer empowerment, allowing us all to shop around with confidence and get a deal that best suits our needs and pockets from our chosen supplier – one that we actually understand.
But they don't go very far to help improve transparency around how these prices are calculated in the first place. Nor, crucially, will they help us battle the effects of the most recent hikes this coming winter as any implementation is still a long way off.
The unpalatable truth is that the price of energy will continue to rise as wholesale prices go up, investment is made in infrastructure and we attempt to curb our carbon emissions as a nation.
Clearly, reducing the amount of energy we buy from suppliers – either by reducing our use or looking to alternatives – is the only option we have left to fight the relentless squeeze.

Yes, it is called reclaimed wastewater, though its use is limited. Before you start to feel ill, understand, it is not used further down the line as drinking water. It is most often used for irrigation and for water parks and golf courses.
First let's talk about what E. coli is. It is a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of animals and humans. The presence of E. coli in water is a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste contamination.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- One of the big reasons that Koji Uehara has emerged as an important late-inning weapon for manager Ron Washington and pitching coaches Mike Maddux and Andy Hawkins is his splitter is once again baffling hitters, particularly lefties.
Uehara said he changed his grip on the pitch after he returned from a lenghty stay on the disabled list. Uehara missed 65 games with a right late muscle strain and has looked refreshed and lively.
Uehara feels that his mindset is also better, but that process began in spring training once he settled into being with the club in Surprise and preparing for the 2012 season.
"I think that helped," Uehara said through an interpreter. "Last year, I was in a way a transfer student. But this year, I was classmates with my teammates."
Uehara is 0-0 with a 1.93 ERA this seaosn. But since returning from the DL, he's been nearly unhitable. He has with 8 1/3 scoreless innings his last 11 games. He has retired all 20 batters he's faced in his last eight appearances, 12 of them on strikeouts, and he's gotten 25 of the last 27 out overall.
"I'm getting better and better," Uehara said.
He was asked if his postseason struggles last year are driving him this time of year. He gave up three runs on two hits and didn't record an out in his only appearance in the ALDS and sported a 13.50 ERA in the ALCS (two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings).
"I've forgotten about the postseason last year," Uehara said. "I don't even want to think about it. I'd rather you not even ask that question anymore."
Uehara was smiling after he said that last part. And overall, he looks comfortable and confident -- whether he's talking to the media or on the mound. With Mike Adams out, Uehara's importance only increases now.
"He's pitched well and he's fresh," Washington said earlier this week. "We're counting on him."

- About the brand
With the Fahrenheit Professional 4 in 1 Clipless Curling Iron Set you can achieve a variety of looks with a single tool! It includes 4 different size ceramic tourmaline barrels that are interchangeable. You can easily alternate between sizes while styling for believable variety in your look. (natural curls aren't uniform!) The clipless design provides precision, styling freedom, and best of all won't leave dents or ridges in your hair like traditional curling irons.
Model#: FHT-4N1 / SKU: 006145
Choose a barrel size, attach it to the body of the curling iron and adjust to your desired temp. While it's heating, separate your hair into small sections, comb out any tangles and spray each with heat protectant. Put on your heat resistant glove, grab a section of hair by the end and wrap it around the barrel. Wrap hair tightly (lots of times around the iron) for ringlets, or stretch it out and wrap only once or twice for looser curls. Because the iron is clipless, you will need to hold the piece of hair in place while it sets (approximately 20 seconds). Unwrap the section, (spray with hairspray for extra hold) and continue with the rest of your hair.
Fahrenheit turns up the heat with its collection of top-of-the-line hair straighteners designed to provide amazing results and performance. Straighten, curl wave or flip your hair quickly and with ease to create a bold new look. Fahrenheit products are so super-versatile, you can transform into a new you everyday, with endless possibilities. Say goodbye to frizzy, dry hair and experience the smooth, shiny, silky hair you?ve always wanted... Bring to life your Heat Wave from within!

text: Looks like a crab spider. Lots of photos on the web, mostly of yellow ones, which are the ones I see most often.Here's what Wikipedia says:<Crab spiders make up the Thomisidae family of the Araneae order. They are also commonly called "flower spiders" because they are most often found on flowers, lying in ambush for prey. Crab spiders do not build webs to trap prey, but are active hunters much like the jumping spiders (Salticidae).They are called crab spiders because of their first two pairs of legs, which are held out to the side giving them (with their flattened, angular bodies) a crab-like appearance. Also, like crabs, these spiders move sideways and backwards more easily than forwards........The spiders of Thomisidae are not known to be harmful to humans. Spiders of an unrelated genus, Sicarius, also resemble crabs (and are sometimes referred to as "crab spiders"). Sicarius spiders, close cousins to the recluse spiders, are highly venomous.>-- Linda Mann east Tennessee USA zone 7/8East Tennessee Iris Society <http://www.DiscoverET.org/etis>Region 7, Kentucky-Tennessee <http://www.aisregion7.org>American Iris Society web site <http://www.irises.org>talk archives: <http://www.hort.net/lists/iris-talk/>photos archives: <http://www.hort.net/lists/iris-photos/>online R&I <http://www.irisregister.com>

About Me
David E. Paterson, AfriGeneas Slave Research Forum Manager, was born in Scotland, UK, grew up in Seattle, WA, and earned a BA in History from University of Oregon before joining the U.S. Navy in 1975. Although an avid reader as a child, David became so busy with his seagoing career that he did not read a complete book for fifteen years. His passion for history reawakened in 1988 while he explored the antebellum records in the basement of the Upson County courthouse. Now David's idea of fun and relaxation is reading a book or spending 12-hour days researching at the National Archives.
When he isn't hanging out at AfriGeneas or foraging in dusty courthouse basements, David now works as a Navy civilian employee in Norfolk, VA, where he lives with his charming wife, the former Judy L. Moody of Memphis, TN. This summer David finally completed his MA in Public History from University of West Florida, with a concentration on the American Old South and Reconstruction.
David's Upson County Project examines life in an upcountry Georgia county through slavery and Reconstruction. Begun in 1994 because David was peeved at the anonymity of the 1850 and 1860 Census Schedules 2 (Slave Inhabitants), his project, at first, was simply intended to demonstrate that abundant records existed to serve as a partial surrogate for the censuses, and to explore the extent to which these local records could reveal the name of every slave who had ever lived in Upson County. It was quite frustrating to hear local genealogists and historians, who did not understand the records of slavery, plead that the enslaved were unfortunately unknowable, just because they were not enumerated in Schedule 1 (Free Inhabitants). David's study of the 1850 and 1860 censuses is in the AfriGeneas Library.
David's research method is simply to read every page of every available Antebellum and Reconstruction record, making a summary extracts of every mention of every slave and slave master, and all other interesting tidbits about Upson County. He describes the legal records he has used in an AfriGeneas Library article, but court records are only part of the picture. Evidence from private and archival sources includes: family papers, family Bibles, church minutes, business records, and newspapers. Finally, David merges data from federal archival sources, including the Southern Claims Commission, Freedmen's Bureau, and USCT pension applications.
As David accumulated extracts of records, individual mini-biographies began to emerge. "I was not looking for these particular people," David explains, "Had I been looking for them, I doubt I would have found them; instead, as I collected all the bits and pieces of evidence, certain life stories just came together and demanded to be written." Two of these mini-biographies will appear in Dr. Louis Gates' forthcoming African-American National Biography. Another example of a biography that emerged from the records and demanded to be told appears in the AfriGeneas Library.
Frustrated by most historians' inability to cope with slaves' names in book indexes (which effectively perpetuates the anonymity of even those slaves whose names we know), David published his proposed solution in a professional journal, The American Archivist.
Perhaps the most significant outcome of the Upson County Project is the linkage of records about the enslaved across Emancipation to those same persons in the Reconstruction period; "We can write life stories of the folk who lived in those times without having to stop at 1865," says David.
The culmination of David's life work will be the history of Upson County, GA, which he has recently (finally!) begun to write. The target audiences will include anyone interested in exploring the histories of people who lived in Upson County, Georgia, during that county's first half century, and historians who might be interested in an up-country county in the cotton belt, as counter-poise to the numerous studies of low country counties. This study offers an opportunity to employ a powerful historical magnifying glass on a local part of the Old South, under which readers will be able to explore the lives of individual southerners from all ranks in life.

Color View From Orbit Showing Opportunity in 'Botany Bay' (Unannotated)NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has been on the western rim of Endeavour Crater in Meridiani Planum for about two years. Until May 2013, it was investigating sedimentary layers that are three to four billion years old on a portion of the rim called "Cape York." This image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on July 8, 2013, captures Opportunity traversing south (at the end of the white arrow) to new science targets and a winter haven at "Solander Point," another portion of the Endeavour rim. The relatively level ground between Cape York and Solander Point is called "Botany Bay." The image was taken 10 years after Opportunity was launched from Florida on July 7, 2013, EDT and PDT (July 8, Universal Time).

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have signed quarterback R.J. Archer and released wide receiver Troy Burrell.
The move that creates competition for Kellen Moore was announced Thursday.
Archer was cut as a rookie free agent by the Minnesota Vikings two years ago. He plays for the Georgia Force in the Arena Football League.
The former William and Mary standout likely will get a chance to compete with Moore, an undrafted rookie from Boise State who set several college records, to be the team's third-string quarterback behind Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill when training camp begins next month.
Burrell is an undrafted rookie out of Wayne State.

Pitt offensive coordinator Bob Bostad will remain in his current position at the university.
A CBS radio affiliate in Chicago reported this morning that Bostad was going to become the offensive line coach for the Chicago Bears. That story is false, according to a source at Pitt.
Bostad, who came to Pitt earlier this month from Wisconsin with new head coach Paul Chryst, is on the road recruiting.

Seven diets that do not work for weight loss include the Paleo diet, which registered dietitian Mary Hartley says is almost impossible to replicate in modern times, and the gluten-free diet, which is not intended for people who want to shed some pounds. Hartley says there is no scientific data supporting diets by blood type, that "master cleanse" diets can slow metabolism and lead to binge eating, that the baby food diet is just silly, that the Dukan diet is too restrictive and that the raw-food plan is too difficult to stick with and has no evidence to support its health claims.

Ferengi history
this wiki
Ferengi history extends at least 10,000 years into the past but much of that history is unclear and known only through legend. Written records of Ferengi history cover only roughly half that period.
The Ferengi culture has roots similar to that of the Human race, filled with wars, violence and greed. The main difference between the two societies is that the Ferengi never developed a socialistic attitude as the Federation eventually did. Also, at no time in their history did the Ferengi have anything comparable to atrocities like slavery or genocide that occur in Human history. These were alien concepts to them before they met other races who practiced them, a distinction the Ferengi feel makes them morally superior to the 'barbaric' Human race that did. Ferengi culture slowly grew out of its early stages by introducing a remarkable economic system. With the purchase of warp technology sometime after the 20th century and the birth of the Ferengi Alliance, they completed the transition to their current position as leaders of interstellar markets and commerce. (DS9: "The Jem'Hadar", "Little Green Men")
Unlike most other cultures who frequently idolize warriors or politicians, throughout Ferengi history, businessmen have been the pillars of society. Eventually, the business and political fields grew together, over a thousand years ago, in the creation of the office of Grand Nagus. The first Grand Nagus was also responsible for creating the Rules of Acquisition, the ground rules for all Ferengi business dealings.
- At least 10,000 years ago
- The Ferengi discover currency and the concept of profit. Ferengi history begins. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
- 1,000 years ago
- Gint, first Grand Nagus, authors the first edition of the Rules of Acquisition. (DS9: "Body Parts")
- 1947
- On July 2nd, a Ferengi shuttle from the 24th century crashes in Roswell, Earth. Humans make First Contact with the Ferengi. The event is buried by the United States of America. (DS9: "Little Green Men")
- 2151
- The Ferengi are contacted by the Valakians, in an effort to find help curing a devastating plague on their homeworld, Valakis. The Ferengi offer to help but leave without doing so, when they realize the Valakians cannot pay. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")
- The Ferengi and Humans meet each other again, when a Ferengi ship attacks a Starfleet starship. The Humans involved, the crew of Enterprise NX-01, leave with little or no knowledge of their assailants, as they were rendered unconscious so the Ferengi could loot the ship, apparently in accordance with Ferengi salvage laws. However, the first contact went unrecorded by the Humans. (ENT: "Acquisition")
- 2355
- The Battle of Maxia is fought between the USS Stargazer and a Ferengi ship commanded by Bok's son. (TNG: "The Battle")
- 2364
- Official first contact between Humans and Ferengi occurs in the Delphi Ardu star system. (TNG: "The Last Outpost")
- 2369
- The Bajoran wormhole is discovered. Grand Nagus Zek sees vast profit to be made in the uncharted Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "The Nagus")
- 2370
- Zek launches his first attempt to trade with the Gamma Quadrant. He invites the Dosi to Deep Space 9, where he appoints Quark to open negotiations to buy tulaberry wine from them. The attempt inadvertently leads to the discovery of the Dominion by Alpha and Beta Quadrant powers. (DS9: "Rules of Acquisition")
- 2374
- The Ferengi Bill of Opportunities is amended by Zek, under advice from Ishka to allow Ferengi females to wear clothing. Later that year, the Board of Liquidators considers allowing females to earn profit. (DS9: "Profit and Lace")
- 2375
- Rom succeeds Zek as Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance and ushers in an era of reform that includes the codification of rights for females. (DS9: "The Dogs of War")

[author: John E. Thompson]
Readers of our earlier post have asked whether there are additional ways to control or even reduce labor costs consistently with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. There are, and we will again divide our discussion between mistaken beliefs and possible opportunities.
Avoid Expensive Misconceptions
There are other recurring points of "conventional wisdom" that can drive up wage costs.
One is the erroneous view that an employer must pay the same hourly rate for compensable travel time or training time that it pays for the employee's normal or principal work. But the fact is that nothing in the FLSA prevents an employer from paying a different and lower hourly rate (of not less than the minimum wage) for different kinds of worktime. How the employer figures overtime compensation in those situations is beyond this post's scope, but it can be done without great difficulty.
Another example is the proposition that employees must be paid overtime compensation for working beyond their scheduled stopping times. This is not the case under the FLSA, which (with a few specialized exceptions) only requires overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek. It is of course possible that a union contract, an employer's policy, an employment contract, or a state daily-overtime law might call for a different answer.
Consider Additional Alternatives
The FLSA does not say that non-exempt employees must be paid at an hourly rate or in any other particular way. It simply requires that, whatever the pay plan is, the employer must still comply with the FLSA's minimum-wage, overtime, and timekeeping requirements. This leaves a lot of room for a variety of approaches, such as:
♦ A salary-plus-overtime arrangement, which can take different forms depending upon what number of hours worked the salary is paid to compensate;
♦ A day-rate plan, which is based upon an employee's receiving a fixed amount for each workday in which he or she performs any work, without regard to the number of hours worked in the workday;
♦ A piece-rate or job-rate plan, under which employees receive a fixed amount for each piece or item produced or job completed; or
♦ A commission plan, which calls for employees to receive sales-based compensation.
Naturally, an employer should be careful in designing, implementing, and administering any pay plan to ensure that the plan actually produces FLSA-compliant wages. For instance, the employer still must compute and pay the necessary FLSA overtime premium under a day-rate, piece-rate, job-rate, or commission method.
And, as we said last time, employers must be certain that whatever they decide to do is also permitted under all applicable state and local laws, under special "prevailing wage" requirements, and so on.

Welcome to Your Dementia handbook:
This "Dementia handbook for carers" aims to answer all the questions you may have if your family member has Dementia or the symptoms of it.
These might include:
• what can we expect in the future?
• do we need to adapt our home or even move?
• what's the right way to support people when their memory is failing or their behaviour changes?
• what if they have to go into hospital?
• do we need to make any written decisions
• who can we turn to for support and advice?
As well as answering questions like these, the handbook also provides information about the services that are available to you in the west of Berkshire.
There are sections on day-to-day living, support, legal and money matters, an A–Z of symptoms and behaviours and a section on record keeping and updating relevant care documents.
Hard copies of the Dementia handbook are currently only available for patients newly diagnosed, or living with Dementia. These can be found in our Memory Clinics in Newbury, Reading and Wokingham.
