Archaea (/ɑːrˈkə/ or /ɑːrˈkə/ ar-KEE or ar-KAY) constitute a domain of single-celled microorganisms. These microbes (archaea; singular archaeon) are prokaryotes, meaning they have no cell nucleus. Archaea were initially classified as bacteria, receiving the name archaebacteria (in the Archaebacteria kingdom), but this classification is outdated.[5]

Archaeal cells have unique properties separating them from the other two domains of life, Bacteria and Eukarya. The Archaea are further divided into multiple recognized phyla. Classification is difficult because the majority have not been isolated in the laboratory and have only been detected by analysis of their nucleic acids in samples from their environment.


URL[edit]

A typical URL could have the form http://www.example.com/index.html, which indicates a protocol (http), a hostname (www.example.com), and a file name (index.html). A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), commonly informally termed a web address (a term which is not defined identically)[6] is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI),[7] although many people use the two terms interchangeably.[8] A URL implies the means to access an indicated resource, which is not true of every URI.[9][8] URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (http), but are also used for file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications. Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar.

UNISON leadership[edit]

In his role as the deputy general secretary, Prentis directed UNISON's national negotiating team and oversaw the union's policy making functions. He also drove through a strategic review of the union, aimed at delivering key reforms, to bring union services closer to the members.

Prentis is responsible for 1,500 staff and a turnover of around £160 million.[10]

He succeeded Rodney Bickerstaffe in 2001, having been elected in February 2000.

He is a member of the TUC general council, TUC executive committee and the Trade Union Labour Party Liaison Committee. Since 2007, he has been President of the TUC.[11] He is a member of the Labour Party's economy commission and the Labour Party joint policy committee.
