1 1 Dichotomous Keys Dichotomous keys are used to assist in the identification and classification of specimens of living things. To use a key, start at the top. At each decision point within a key, there will be two descriptions, one after the other, on the left. Decide which best applies to your specimen, and read what is written to the right of the description. Either the classification of your specimen for that key will appear, or a number. If it s a number, look for it below in the key for the next decision point. Note: These keys have been developed specifically with the Essential Science TerrAqua Column in mind so have included descriptions that incorporate material from the video, print, and Web materials. Some groups are described in ways that may leave certain important (but highly technical) features out, and numerous groups don t appear. These keys are for the more general groupings in taxonomic classification: domain, kingdom (in the eukarya), and division (in the plants) or phyla (in the animals). More specific groupings are not included: class, order, family, genus, and species. KEY A: Key to the DOMAINS of LIVING THINGS 1. Nucleus absent; unicellular Domain Bacteria or Domain Archaea* Nucleus present; unicellular or multicellular Domain Eukarya (go to KEY B) * Individual bacteria and archaea are impossible to distinguish from one another by shape or size, even under powerful microscopes. Colonies can sometimes be distinguished on the basis of the environment in which they grow or are cultured. Species of archaea tend to grow under extreme conditions that are toxic to bacteria (e.g., extremes of temperature, pressure, or salt). KEY B: KEY to the KINGDOMS in the DOMAIN EUKARYA 1. Unicellular Protist Kingdom** Multicellular 2
2 2 2. Photosynthesize to make their own food; have cell walls made of Plant Kingdom (go to KEY C) cellulose Do not photosynthesize; must obtain food 3 3. Absorb food after digesting it externally; have cell walls made Fungus Kingdom of chitin Ingest food and digest it internally; do not have cell walls Animal Kingdom (go to KEY D) ** The Protist Kingdom does include some multicellular members most of the algae, which are aquatic, and include seaweeds and kelps. They were classified as plants at one time, but because they lack the tissue differentiation and other more complex features found in the Plant Kingdom, they are typically classified as protists. There are also members of the Fungus Kingdom that are unicellular most notably, the yeasts. This is thus a very general decision point that is nonetheless likely to be useful for most specimens that are encountered in K-6 settings. KEY C: KEY to DIVISIONS in the PLANT KINGDOM 1. Short carpet of plants with tiny leaf-like blades; stalks bearing capsules that extend above carpet are spore-producing generation; lack true roots, stems, leaves and conducting vessels; require water to unite sex cells Plants do not grow as a short carpet; have true roots, stems, leaves and conducting vessels Division Bryophyta 2
3 3 2. Plants grow as clumps of leafy fronds; spores produced on underside of fronds; sex cells produced by tiny, inconspicuous, heart-shaped generation; require water to unite sex cells; a few grow moderately tall Plants do not grow as clumps of fronds; plants produce seeds in addition to spores; do not require water to unite sex cells 3. Leaves are needles or scales with waxy coating; male and female cones produce spores; male spores develop as pollen grains and produce sperm; female spores develop in structures on top of the scales of the female cone and produce eggs; papery seeds develop on top of the scales after fertilization; can grow extremely tall Leaves are not needles or scales; have flowers with male and female parts that produce spores; male spores develop as pollen grains and produce sperm; female spores develop in an ovary and produce eggs; seeds develop inside the ovary once fertilized; ovaries ripen into fruit Division Pterophyta 3 Division Coniferophyta Division Anthophyta 4 KEY D: KEY to PHYLA in the ANIMAL KINGDOM 1. Body organized in a wheel-like way with parts radiating from a central hub (radial symmetry); tentacles with stinging cells encircling single opening to gut (mouth and anus) 2
4 4 Body organized with two sides, a top and a bottom, and a front (head) and rear region (bilateral symmetry) 3 2. Body soft and often jelly-like; tentacles with stinging cells Phylum Cnidaria arranged in a circle around a central opening that acts as a mouth and anus; tentacles can extend up or drape down; some grow in colonies of many connected individuals Body hard or leathery with inner skeleton (endoskeleton); body Phylum Echinodermata parts usually in multiples of five; move with tube feet using internal system of pressurized water; most with mouth and anus 3. Body externally segmented 4 Body not externally segmented 5 4. Body soft and cylindrical; body support by pressure from Phylum Annelida internal fluid in a body cavity (hydrostatic skeleton); body a series of segments that show little differentiation; head region often without pronounced sense organs Segmented bodies with hard outer skeleton (exoskeleton); Phylum Arthropoda segments often organized into body regions (e.g., head, thorax, abdomen); posses paired, jointed appendages (e.g., legs, pincers, antennae); many possess wings; grow by molting exoskeleton; many develop through metamorphosis 5. Body small, flattened, and composed of solid tissue; one opening Phylum Platyhelminthes to gut acts as mouth and anus Body not small, flattened and solid; possess mouth and anus 6
5 5 6. Body soft; organized into regions consisting of a head attached to a large muscular foot that most use for movement, and a mass of organs covered by a shroud of tissue (mantle); many have shells; most feed with a rasping tongue (radula) Body with supporting rod-like structure along back (notochord) that develops into vertebral column in some groups; hollow nerve cord along back; gill slits in region of throat (these disappear in some groups); a tail (disappears in some groups) Phylum Mollusca Phylum Chordata 7

We would like to moot the installation of John Hegley as Official National Treasure, pronto. His hangdog demeanour, poems and songs not only cover Englishness as a topic but contain a very English self-deprecation and undercutting punchlines. If you ever thought poets were boring, an hour in his company will prove you wrong.
In the multicoloured fin de siècle surroundings of Greenwich Comedy Festival's Spiegel Tent, Hegley kicks off with a few songs which he masterminds into singalongs - a feat in itself to secure audience participation within the first ten minutes of a show and yet there we are, glasses wearers vs contact lens wearers vs the rest of us, la-la-la-ing about a Luton bungalow and doing an increasingly ludicrous call and response.
This is a mix of Hegley's Edinburgh show, The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet, loosely based around his French ancestry and sense of belonging (the titular Mr Robinet is the character in a book, who we learn is being romantically pursued by a neighbour and using his dog to avoid her) and more general poetry and songs from his repertoire. Some are serious and beautiful, others are wholly designed for laughs, and others are a combination of delicate wordsmithing and giggles.
The overall tone of the set is warm and inviting and we leave with a glow in our bellies that has (almost) nothing to do with the Greenwich Meantime beer on sale throughout the site. It seems criminal that this self-effacing poet isn't as widely revered as Stephen Fry; we can only leave you with our recommendation that you catch him as soon as possible and help us rectify this shocking oversight.
The Greenwich Comedy Festival continues until 12th September, tickets £14-£25. See their website for more details. John Hegley is touring the Adventures of Monsieur Robinet; also keep an eye on our literary listings for where he'll next pop up around London.

I am often asked about the process of garden design. The task
of designing a garden seems, at times, almost an impossible
thing to do. Think about it. How do you create a garden like
those you see out and about when visiting professional or
public gardens? It's a mammoth task really! You want (need)
trees and shrubs to give height, structure and a sense of
permanence. You need smaller herbaceous plants which rise
and fall at different times of the year. You'll want all-year-
round interest, yet given the constraints of border space, how
can you achieve this? After all, a plant can only accommodate
one unit of soil space at a time. Right? Then, there's bulbs…
annuals! Throw in the added complications of soil type (clay,
sand, acid or alkaline etc) and an aspect you can do very little
about (North facing, part shade, full sun…) you
really have your work cut out!
Of course, the world is not full of skilled horticulturalists or
professional garden designers, and given that fact, is it any
wonder that the average British garden is just…. Well, Kind of
average really. In truth, considering your average garden
owner hasn't been to college and spent several years
studying plants and gardens, our gardens aren't too shabby
As a matter of fact, I think people's gardens are a bit like their
pets; they often reflect, display and say a lot about their
|Later that same summer! For just a couple of hours' work and a bit of jiggery-pokery. A great improvement!
Walking down most roads and looking at the gardens on
display – and they are very much on display! – they usually
fall into three quite distinct categories, each type revealing (to
my imagination at least) much of the psychologies going on
in and around their homes and gardens.
Firstly, there's the garden that wishes it simply wasn't there.
Or at least, the owners wish wasn't there! It mainly houses old
shrubs in need of either a severe prune, or replacing completely.
There's usually always some Ivy rampaging over a rotting
fence with the tall, leggy ghosts of a once compact shrub rose or
Lavender: the rose now some 12ft tall, with 2 very weak buds
trying their best to flower at the tips of their stems!
|Another border! Same garden, funnily enough. In great need of a revamp.
|Overgrown Roses... a sneaky Cotoneaster...Lamium. You name it, it's probably in there somewhere!
Next up is the average garden. To my mind, at least
these display some desire to create something nice. And
remember, when you do have that desire to make your garden
(your external display) look good, it is both a gift to yourself
and to others also. I mean, don't expect grateful passers-by to
slip notes of gratitude through your door, but you'll be
amazed at how many heads turn to look at your creation….
Usually with both appreciation and admiration. One thing's
for sure, put some thought (no matter how little) into height,
structure, texture and colour, and it will result in a nice
garden. Just add a little care, attention and nurture - that's
|Again, might as well start from scratch. Improve the soil; stick a few canes in to denote the quantity and spacing of potential planting. It's all good.
Lastly, sometimes you come across a garden where you can
plainly see that the owners not only know a thing or two about
plants and gardens, but that they also have some creative flair
for design; a desire to make something beautiful, and a
willingness to invest some serious time (and money!) into
their garden.
|Later that same summer. Not a bad effort me thinks. Dahlias, Heleniums, Osteospermum... a Delphinium... a Lily. Room at the front for some ground cover plants... maybe add the odd annual or two.. a climber at the back perhaps... and Bob's your uncle!
I believe the stand out garden of any street usually has
elements such as these:
A use of plants not taken straight from your average
garden centre or DIY store. There are probably around 50 – 100
very common plants (and their cultivars) used in gardens
today. When making planting decisions try investigating
contemporary ideas in garden design; borrow some of what
you see in the magazines; visit independent nurseries and
experiment with exciting plant combinations! It's elements
such as these which will reap horticultural rewards and give
you a first class garden.
In these gardens there's usually also more border space
than lawn. Look at those wide rows of houses and gardens
you see in American films. A front porch; stars and stripes
blowing in the wind.
Big, timber-fronted houses with an expanse of lawn at the
front, usually boundaried with a white fence and a few
static low-maintenance shrubs scattered around the lawn's
perimeter or lining the front of the house. Nondescript,
evergreen shrubs offering a little lip-service to horticulture.
Also, make no mistake, lawns in general are far from low-
maintenance! A garden that has little - or no – area of lawn,
is to me, a garden proper! Plants have something to offer
during every season and can be managed with greater
sustainability than any lawn and return far much more
back to the gardener, the environment and the local
Lastly, I wonder if these people have a gardener. To be honest,
and yes, as a self-employed gardener I realise this might
smack of self-promotion, but having a regular
maintenance gardener, one who knows his plants, who is a
little creative and is both keen and able, really helps improve
a garden no end.
I've been a witness to this many, many times!
To my mind, obtaining the services of such a person is by far
the best way in which to design, develop and move a garden
forward. But, I suppose I would say that wouldn't I?
|How very splendid!
Le Jardinier.

Pinterest is slowly rising in the ranks to be the top used social media site. Similar to Tumblr it is a place anyone can get lost in it for hours. Pinning things like a favorite recipe, or a favorite pair of shoes to purchase. Recently surveys were done, and according to The Pew Internet and American Life Project, 73 percent of U.S. adults use social media sites and 21 percent of those use Pinterest. The data between 2012 and 2013 suggest that it is the fastest growing social media site, with a six percent increase. During that same time Facebook and Instagram only increased a mere four percent in comparison. This kind of growth would suggest that Pinterest could be the next social star.
Data from Pew has shown that it is about more than the numbers, this is proven by the increase in interest over Facebook. Also, the pinning site beat out Twitter for number three most popular site, which is a feat all by itself. The fact is Ben Silbermann owner of Pinterest has made it known they are not looking to be the next Facebook, but to be the next Google instead. That is a big goal of this small company. This inventive site is all about inspiring searches, unlike Google, who is all about, factual answers. It seems they are catering to all of the artists, whether they are inspiring chefs or inspiring fashion icons.
Comparing this pinning site to other social sites, is like saying Google is the next social star of sites, there is really no comparison. Both sites operate on a completely different scale. The power is in the hands of the people on Pinterest, while Google is more about the analytic side. Think of it this way, Google is the right brain, while the pinning site is the left side. One side is creative, while the other uses logic.
A big thing for this pinning site is in 2013, they grew in leaps and bounds in the retail area, claiming up to 41 percent of e-commerce traffic. The average person who uses this pinning site has an average income of 100,000 a year in income. So, with over 70 million on this site, other social media sites should be looking for ways to bring back the retail area back to their side. When retail is on the same side most likely the numbers are going to increase, which will bring more revenue for this pinning site. It is obvious this is the next social star of the year. Based on performance Pinterest, is the next star.
The only thing they may not have going for them is that only 17 percent of their users are male, while 83 percent is female. To be the next great social star Pinterest is going to have to figure out how to get men interested in the site. Since, only 33 percent is focused on technology, this may be the perfect outlet to get men involved, by increasing Technology posts, it will probably close the gap between male and female ratio. Another, aspect that could be focused on is making a sports section for men, this would also increase the usage for men. Only time will tell if Pinterest will become bigger, or just another Myspace.

A Robust and Energetic Transition or a White House in Chaos?
At this point in Donald Trump's presidency, roughly 50 aides, Cabinet members and advisors have been forced out, fired, or resigned. How high-level departures affect Americans depends on the role and replacement, particularly when it comes to senior staffers in economic advisory positions, homeland security, and foreign and domestic policy.
The Trump Administration had an estimated 42 percent turnover in the first year, according to the Brookings Institute. President Trump tweeted reassurance: "people will always come and go," adding that he's "always seeking perfection." "There is no Chaos, only great Energy!" he added.
The circumstances surrounding each firing or resignation are played out like a high-stakes chess game between staffers and Mr. Trump. If players question or criticize his moves, decisions and policies, they risk enraging the president, who then flips the table, and often, a Twitter tirade ensues.
Mr. Trump uses each high-profile departure as an avenue to praise or eviscerate … even fire staffers. He heaps compliments on loyal staffers whose departures do not leave footnotes implying clashes with his administration, but rather a change of plans. They include exploring new opportunities, spending time with family, or providing a clean slate for Mr. Trump's inner circle. Chief of Staff Reince Priebus was replaced with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly. The president called his third Communications Director Hope Hicks "smart, thoughtful, and outstanding" a day after Hicks resigned. By contrast, Mr. Trump aimed his ire at the Federal Bureau of Investigations. He said fired FBI Director James Comey was a "phony," "liar" and "leaker" of classified information related to the Hillary Clinton email probe, as the two traded insults. FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was fired days before his retirement.

"Ferenc Gyurcsány, in his own egotistical way, continues to serve the interests of Fidesz. His party's 8-10 percent makes it impossible for something new to emerge in the opposition. From now on, anyone who supports collaboration undertakes to be their accomplice. I do not want to be an accomplice to the old left-wing. These people do not want to defeat Orbán, they are perfectly satisfied with their current livelihood. . . . The old left-wing elite has been corrupted by the current regime, and Együtt is assisting this. Együtt is no longer what it was when it was started.."
The following interview with politician Levente Pápa appeared on Index.hu on September 21st, 2016, under the title "He will not be an accomplice to the left-wing, Együtt's deputy chairman resigns:"
There are rumors of friction and conflict within Együtt. You are at the center of some of these. Do you really have that much conflict with the rest of the party leadership?
It's true, there has been nothing resembling harmonious cooperation for some time.
What was at the root of the conflict?
Mostly issues concerning political strategy and values. At the center of this conflict is whether Együtt defines itself as a left-wing party or an independent entity. Of course, this conflict did not start now, it goes back to 2013.
Party chairman Viktor Szigetvári says Együtt is a part of the left-wing. But you, as deputy chairman, want something else?
Yes, and there is division inside various levels of the party on this issue. I came to Együtt in January 2014 at Gordon Bajnai's invitation. My final question before joining the party was to Gordon. "Will I be able to criticize Ferenc Gyurcsány for the past eight years just as I criticize Viktor Orbán for his own government?" I asked. "Levi, of course," Gordon Bajnai responded. Based on this, I rightly assumed that the future of Együtt would be based on building a political center independent of the old left-wing parties, MSZP and DK.
But even back then we knew that the left-wing collaboration would take place in early 2014, and that Együtt would be part of it.
This is how the collaboration was sold to those of us who believed in the creation of an independent center. For example, they told me this was a forced collaboration, and that it was necessary to prevent Fidesz from getting another two-thirds supermajority. It turned out this was a terribly incorrect interpretation of the situation. But the promise was that we would get into parliament and then part ways with the other parties.
And why didn't that happen?
This is what is at the root of these problems. After Gordon Bajnai left the party, I fought to create our own independent political field. The first challenge was with our joint candidate for mayor of Budapest, Ferenc Falus. Myself, and those standing behind me, really did not want to run a joint candidate, and particularly not him. We believed that we needed to run separately.
Officially, Falus was Együtt's candidate and he wore Együtt's logo, but MSZP and DK got behind him.
Five votes in favor, two against, and two abstentions was the vote in our party's executive board. I'll admit that I was one of the votes against. And here was where one of the very serious conflicts emerged between myself and a large portion of the party leadership. Later, Falus would step down and our party backed Lajos Bokros — and that was the final nail in the coffin of the cooperation between Együtt and PM. I did not want us to go our separate ways and for this team to be further fragmented. And I also did not want the big left-wing collaboration to help Ferenc Gyurcsány.
In 2015 did you want to be chairman of Együtt to move the party away from the left?
My political program would have been about returning to the original road that Gordon Bajnai mapped out. To say that we got the message in 2014, that we understand how the people feel, that we screwed up, that we learned our lessons, that we will never do anything like that again, and that we will meet in the middle, not on the left. This could have been shown through a change in personnel, not only in terms of content and symbolism. But this didn't happen. In fact, we did not even mull over the failures of the 2014 municipal elections, which obviously suited certain interests in the internal power struggle.
So, Szigetvári remained chairman. Do you think Együtt will take part in some kind of left-wing collaboration in the upcoming election?
Whatever will happen, Együtt is already considered part of the left-wing, and, informally, it has strong ties to the left. This is unacceptable for me because there has been a lot of whispering for quite some time – and now openly as well – that MSZP is part of NER (Fidesz's National Cooperation System-tran.). There are obvious signs that MSZP is intertwined with Fidesz. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Attila Mesterházy sabotaged Gordon Bajnai's candidacy for prime minister in 2013 and 2014. And Ferenc Gyurcsány, in his own egotistical way, continues to serve the interests of Fidesz. His party's 8-10 percent makes it impossible for something new to emerge in the opposition. From now on, anyone who supports collaboration undertakes to be their accomplice. I do not want to be an accomplice to the old left-wing. These people do not want to defeat Orbán, they are perfectly satisfied with their current livelihood.
What makes you think that the Left doesn't want to win?
There are many signs of cooperation. From the shady background financial dealings to the chaos evident since MSZP's party elections, or even DK's strategy which only seeks to defeat MSZP. It's just like being in the sandbox, seriously. For a long time we believed that there is simply little talent and strength, but we can also believe there is a lack of will. Hushing this up makes one an accomplice.
MSZP chairman Gyula Molnár recently said that his party is Fidesz's inexorable challenger.
I get that they want to stay afloat, but I think it is hard to dispute that, based on experience, MSZP has "inexorably" served Fidesz's interests.
Is Együtt preparing to run with MSZP and DK in 2018?
I think there will be another collaboration, but none of them really want to take part in primary elections. Currently, everyone is talking about moving forward with coordinated candidates (joint candidates, but separate lists). How well that worked in Budapest last time! How else could this end if not exactly like it did in 2014? They will sit down in a room and a few of them will decide.
There are rumors that MSZP and DK have already divvied up the Budapest districts with each other. I will take no part in this.
Have Viktor Szigetvári or other Együtt leaders taken part in any such meeting with MSZP and DK?
I do not know of any such meetings. But we cannot back away from them because we are powerless and it is too late. I did not come to this party so that we could run together with the left-wing in election after election. Furthermore, aside from this, I had numerous problems with several members of the party leadership.
What were the disagreements about?
The primaries, for example, which I suggested at the end of last year in a blog post. Aside from involving civil society, I recommended that we stipulate that no candidate have previously served as an undersecretary or higher capacity in the government. A member of our executive called me a Nazi for suggesting that.
I am constitutionally indisposed to doctrinal thinking. There are a lot of people in this party with strong ties to the networks of the past and the people of the past, and they primarily want to gain the acceptance of these people. Bound up in this way, there is no chance of creating a new political class.
We also had disagreements on the refugee issue. I was the one who demanded our program include security guarantees. I even developed a conceptual outline for it, but they just swept it off the table. I also recommended something different for the referendum, and I even published it on hvg.hu (invalid ballots and the referendum on EU membership).
I always kept these disagreements in-house, I did not want to take them before the public. Party discipline, loyalty, and a sense of belonging to a community were always important for me, but we have reached the point at which there is no sense continuing like this. When it becomes apparent that our differences are so great, it's best if we go our separate ways. I can no longer continue like this in good conscience.
What exactly does that mean? Because minimally you'll get a slap on the wrist from the party for this interview.
It means I am leaving Együtt. Today I am resigning all my political positions, my deputy chairmanship, and as chairman of the party foundation's board of trustees.
You party will have elections next February, why not just wait until then?
Because there is no long any point. Even if my thoughts were accepted by the majority – which is rather unlikely – the party would break trying to adjust on the one hand, and on the other there is no time left for repositioning. People have it burned into their minds that we are the old left-wing. I have great respect for the work of the well-intentioned people in Együtt, but this construct is bad. The biggest problem would remain: [a lack of] credibility.
So you think Együtt can't be a credible party?
It can't because it never adjusted its relationship with the left-wing that is partially responsible for this entire political crisis. The old left-wing elite has been corrupted by the current regime, and Együtt is assisting this. Együtt is no longer what it was when it was started. Együtt has failed to make good decisions after the terrible decision of 2014, and that is why Együtt will not be able to make the right decision in 2018. I have said this ten times in front of various party forums.
How did your peers respond to this when you brought it up? Did they not understand or did they disagree?
A large portion of them understood, but many said that for various tactical reasons it is not good to ruin the party's relationship with MSZP and DK because we will have to collaborate with them in the end anyway. When I said we should keep our distance and criticize because we should speak about their issues of corruption, they responded that this isn't possible because they are our natural partners. I think we need to move beyond ignoring our differences. This is the first step in toppling the Orbán regime.
Did you have too much of Együtt?
This is sort of like a breakup: it's a long process. You don't fall out of love from one day to the next. I will not deny that this process has been ongoing for me for the past year, and we have become more and more distant from one another. The many arguments on values and strategies turned into personal problems, too.
What was the straw that broke the camel's back? Why are you now giving an interview about leaving?
This has been incubating inside me for a long time, and I had time over the summer to reflect on the situation with objective people. I like to plan ahead, and I gave myself until early autumn to make a final decision. It was a difficult decision to make, I did not want to make it hastily, but I now feel that I must act.
Will Viktor Szigetvári be surprised when he reads this interview?
He obviously sensed from my many signs of disagreement that something would happen. I don't think he will be surprised.
Have you talked to Gordon Bajnai about leaving the party?
Did you ever talk about these strategy problems with Bajnai?
I spoke to him about this back during the spring, but he is out, he does not want to get involved.
How many followers do you have in the party? Will there be a mass departure?
I don't think so, and that is not my goal. I do not want to hurt Együtt, I don't want this to get personal. I am leaving because I think Együtt is resting on a bad foundation, and the wrong pilings have been hammered down. In this manner the best intentions, work, and valuable seeds have fallen onto barren earth.
Prior to 2014, you worked in finance at OTP before entering politics. Are you completely finished with politics? Are you getting out for good?
I would like to continue fighting against today's unjust and country-ruining governing power, but only in a meaningful way. I do not want to leave public life. There will be lots of discussions in the coming months because I know that many people want to do something new, they want a new alternative, a new political community. Something that has no ties to the old left-wing does not have to come up with explanations for things that happened in the past.
In the six months we will see whether a new alternative will emerge. But for me, being a politician isn't a question of earning an income. If it doesn't work out, I'll go back to my profession and will earn a living with my knowledge.
So it's possible that we might see you in another party in the future?
Not in any party that exists today. But I believe there will eventually be that critical mass that stands in the middle and wants nothing from the current regime or the old left-wing. From this it is possible to launch a movement, later a party, that represents the center, one that is patriotic, loves the homeland, one that wants to promote the national interests within Europe rather than against Europe, one that believes in a market economy built from the bottom up, one that believes in the modernization of society, and one that is free of extremism. A party with new players who have not been completely discredited by the past. I would gladly take part in something like this, but I can no longer be a member of Együtt with an honest heart — and doing politics any other way simply isn't worth it.

Hollywood police officers accused of beating a man during an arrest did not commit any crimes, the Broward Grand Jury decided on Wednesday.
The grand jury will issue a report detailing its findings concerning the Nov. 1 arrest of Daniel O'Keefe in about a month.
O'Keefe, 22, filed a brutality complaint with the Hollywood police department's Internal Affairs Division two weeks after his arrest on a state warrant for violating conditions of his early release from prison. O'Keefe has a long record for burglary and theft.
Police said O'Keefe fought when they attempted to pick him up and he was charged with resisting arrest with violence.
But the charges were dropped on May 26 when prosecutors determined that they didn't have enough evidence to go forward. Prosecutors instead chose to present O'Keefe's brutality case to the grand jury.
O'Keefe's claim was backed by witnesses to the arrest. A juvenile who was in the police van said he saw an officer punch O'Keefe and hit him with the butt of his flashlight.
The grand jury on July 7 heard from 18 witnesses and saw exhibits related to the case. Their decision was issued on Wednesday.
"Your grand jury determined there is insufficient evidence to charge any member of the Hollywood police department with a crime," the grand jury wrote in a brief statement that did not name any officers.
O'Keefe's attorney, Assistant Public Defender Jeffrey Ivashuk, said he believes his client - a belief supported by a lie-detector test that O'Keefe took.
"If Mr. O'Keefe was telling the truth, that's the only thing that could have happened," Ivashuk said. "Shouldn't they [police) be held to just as high a standard?"
O'Keefe is going back to prison for violation of his early release.

Presidential Talk May Bring New Audience For Pence Address
January 13, 2015 — TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS – The content and structure of Gov. Mike Pence's State of the State address on Tuesday is likely to be similar to years' past.
The audience may not be.
With a cloud of speculation surrounding Pence and the "will-he-or-won't-he" debate on a possible presidential run, the Republican needs to be careful how he presents himself because more eyes – inside and outside Indiana – will be watching, said Andrew Downs, director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics.
"He is facing an interesting challenge because he will need to talk about national issues in a way people not in Indiana will understand and relate to, but also in a way that people in Indiana can understand and relate to," Downs said. "He runs the risk of sounding too much like a state candidate or presidential candidate – which could hurt him."
But regardless of the added drama for what will be Pence's third speech, Downs said every State of the State is important because it gives the governor an opportunity to remind people what is going well in the state.
Still, Ed Feigenbaum, publisher of INGroup, said that most of the annual speeches are similar.
"Once you start reviewing past State of the State addresses from brand new incoming governors to a returning governor who has been in office for several years, you're looking at the same type of structure for the speech."
"State of the State addresses have a real strict script that don't change a lot regardless of the governor," he said.
Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath hopes Pence doesn't focus on creating a presidential campaign moment, but instead keys on subjects that matter to Indiana.
"I'm (hoping it's) not just more of the same," Pelath said. "We've seen too much focus on getting more money and power in the hands of the right people as a tool of economic development. We've seen too much doubling down on current educational policies that don't address the life-long learning needs we have here in Indiana."
"If the governor can resist those temptations, then I think he has an opportunity to have a semi-successful speech," Pelath said. "But if we just hear rhetoric for Iowa and New Hampshire, it is probably going to leave something to be desired."
Long-time senator, Sen. Ron Alting, R-Lafayette, believes Pence's speech will be focused on Indiana policy – not national issues that concern a possible presidential candidate. Alting expects Pence to address key issues for the state, including K-12 education plans, economic development, and taxation.
"He will keep the speech to local politics," Alting said. "I won't be surprised if he will say that his number one concentration and number one priority is the state of Indiana. That will be given a round of applause, as it should."
"I do think he's doing that," Alting said. "There's 24 hours in a day, and all 24 hours are concentrated towards the state of Indiana."
But Downs also said Pence needs to take the opportunity to discuss possible concerns if he in fact does run for president – such as his executive leadership abilities.
And while some state politicians may believe the presidential speculation could be a distraction for Pence, Downs said the increased national attention actually benefits the state in the long run.
"Pence is probably the only one who knows if he will or won't run. We won't know until the (legislative) session is over," Downs said. "Whether he runs or not, it's a good move for him to maintain national presence because it increased his capital. It makes him more influential and could be more beneficial to the state."

Alibaba uses data technology to remove fake listings in 24 hours
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group has unveiled enhancements to its Intellectual Property Protection (IPP) Platform to speed up the handling of takedown requests from brands and rights holders, an optimised process which can eliminate fake listings within 24 hours.
Alibaba, which runs the world's largest online marketplace, said in the first month since the soft launch of the IPP platform, almost all cases submitted by brands and rights holders were handled and closed within 24 hours. Of which, more than 80 per cent of the fake listings were also removed, as the new data model allowed for more effective and faster processing of claims, it said.
The remaining 17 per cent were rejected mainly for reasons such as insufficient evidence to prove infringement or a mismatch between the complained listing and IP documents filed.
"Brand trust is core to our mission," said Jessie Zheng, Alibaba's chief platform governance officer. "Our enhanced platform, along with significant progress in other important initiatives all showcase the industry best practices that Alibaba is creating for the benefit of all our stakeholders."
Addressing 180 brand representatives gathered in Beijing for Alibaba's Brand Rights Holders Day on Thursday, the company also announced several other efforts made to improve brand protection, including creating a single website to make it easier for brands to file complaints and using new algorithms and data models to allow for a more automated complaint-processing, analysis, and product-authentication system.
The enhanced IPP platform is the latest effort by Alibaba to better govern its marketplace, on which more than 100,000 brands use to tap China's hundreds of millions of online shoppers.
Last week, Alibaba announced a partnership with French luxury group Kering, which owns brands like Gucci and Saint Laurent, to "exchange useful information" and work with law enforcement to "take appropriate action against any infringers of Kering's brands identified with Alibaba's advanced technology capabilities".
As part of the agreement, Kering has agreed to dismiss the lawsuit filed against Alibaba and Alipay, a subsidiary of Alibaba-backed Ant Financial, in the US district court in New York.
Alibaba is the owner of the South China Morning Post.

Excellent Flavor! I have been searching for 0mg Nicotine Cherry Tobacco flavor e-liquid for a couple years. I've tried a lot of different liquids and experimented with mixing my own. This has a smooth cherry tobacco flavor and is the best I've ever tasted. I ordered the 50/50 mix and was so pleased I ordered more right away. Thanks for the fantastic product and the fast shipping.

Oh I love that yellow skirt! Such a pretty item and great for the summer!
Two Hearts One Roof – July Fashion, Beauty Lifestyle Giveaway
For anyone who doesn't know, I live in Yorkshire. I fell in love with Leeds when I moved here three years ago; there's always so much going on. This weekend welcomes the grand depart of the Tour de France to our rolling Yorkshire hills and the city has been practically painted yellow. Everyone is getting involved in the fun so I figured I'd put together a look book to celebrate:
1. Yellow Full Midi Skirt by ASOS, £22
For a stylish, laid back summer look, pair with a cute crop top and oversized sunnies!
2. Freida Sunflower Headband by RockNRose, £48
Come rain or shine at the weekend, you'll be rocking those summer vibes with this oversized flower headband.
3. Clear Rain Mac by ASOS, £35
And lets be honest, it will probably rain! This is Yorkshire we're talking about. Keep dry whilst showing off your style in this see through yellow mac.
4. Lemon Fruit Slice Clutch Bag by New Look, £10
Feeling fruity? You might have seen me raving about this little slice and it's watermelon counterpart on previous posts. I'm completely sold, and at just £10 it's such a bargain.
5. Madrid Sun Flat Sandals by Birkenstock, £44.95
If you haven't already got on board with the Birkenstock trend, what are you waiting for? They're super comfy. Ugly shoes are in but who says you can't brighten them up with a splash of colour? I say go for it.
6. Love All Lace Bandeau by Bjorn Borg, £23
I a little bit obsessed with lace at the minute. My last blog post was all about an amazing underwear set from House of Fraser. The lace used for this piece is so pretty and delicate plus bandeaus are so easy to wear.
And not forgetting about the gents, I've picked out a few tour inspired pieces you're sure to love!
Mod style lover and top cyclist Bradley Wiggins has teamed up with Fred Perry once again. The collection ties together cycling and style by mixing Bradley's riding colours with a Pretty Green esque look.
1. Howells Leather Bradley Shoe, £35
Leather adds an edge of sophistication to trainers. Tan always works well here, these shoes are pretty classic and make a nice change from New Balance.
2. Twill City Trousers, £95
These slim fitting trousers with stretch material are ideal if you need to hop on your bike! You can taper the ankles with buttons if you want to go that extra mod mile.
3. Bradley Pack Away Cagoule, £62.50
Who doesn't need a good old cagoule to keep them dry? Handy for the unreliable British weather and you're sure to stand out in a sea of yellow at the weekend!
I'm looking forward to heading into town at the weekend, though the place is already starting to fill up. If you're planning on catching the Grand Depart or any other section of the Tour de France, make sure to whip out your mobile phones and get filming. Mobiles.co.uk are running a competition to win a Go Pro or a Sony Experia Z2. I'd love to get my hands on a GoPro to use on holiday so I'll be filming lots of footage on the day. You can head over to Mobiles website for more information about the competition.
Is the Tour de France coming to your home town? Are you heading off to watch it? Or have you had enough of sport this summer? Let me know in the comments below!

Xtreme Air Services makes your life easier when it comes to air conditioning replacement, because we know that is a big decision for you and your family!
Deciding on air conditioning replacement is a very big choice and not something that you should do often. Unfortunately, it is not like a car either where you can just go trade it in and maybe roll over some money into a different loan. This is something that you should be very aware of all of your options when purchasing a new HVAC unit. Fortunately, this is why Xtreme Air Services gives FREE estimates on air conditioning replacement to give you all of your available options.
Energy Efficient Air Conditioning Units
When you install a new efficient air conditioning system you will be able to keep your home comfortable even on the hottest days of the year. In addition, you will also enjoy lower energy cost as a bonus! Whether you're building a new home or upgrading to a more effective unit to complete a air conditioning replacement, we offer a variety of brands like Trane, Goodman, Amana, or several others to meet the size, efficiency rating or price that you want. Our complete system installs will include thermostats, filters and accessories needed. If you are completing an air conditioning replacement and want to swap an older HVAC unit, we even do trade-ins for the new AC unit!
Make the right choice, the Xtreme choice!
When deciding on the right unit for your air conditioning unit, you should consider the size and age of your home, the number of rooms, the climate, utility expenses, the amount of cooling days in the season, and any ecological concerns in case you want a more energy efficient unit. Some customers experience up to 50% savings on energy cost when they install an energy efficient system. Let Xtreme Air Services help you select the right unit that will give you maximum savings on your energy bill. Let us help you make the right decision regarding the best air conditioning unit for your home. This is so important to have a licensed professional inform you about your decision when it comes to air conditioning replacement because if you do not take a look at the previous mentioned points you can end up with an under sized unit or oversized unit. If your unit is undersized then it will not cool your home to your comfort and will run consistently to try to keep up with what the thermostat is trying to communicate and in turn provide higher utility bills. If your unit is oversized then it will short cycle not allowing the equipment to run long enough to pull humidity out of the air and in turn could cause mold in your home.


text: Lagenda Budak Setan is a tangled ribbons of emotions, a beautiful twister of joy, sadness, pain, and love. A heartwarming story that takes you flying high with the angels, a story that makes you clutch your loved ones tighter, a story of soulmates with broken hearts. The pain that they endure, the hardship that they went through, the strength that posses, the trust that they clung to; all in the name of love. Beautifully written, melodiously composed, and soulfully sang. A legend of all time.

Shades on your chandelier can give your bedroom a few different looks depending on the types of shades you choose. You can create a soft or hard lighting look just by the shape, angle and thickness of the shades. The design style of your shades can range from a classic look to modern. To complete the look tie it all together by hanging curtains of the same color and style for an overall cohesive, finished look.
Symmetry is one of the oldest tricks in the designer playbook, and for good reason. The result is a look that's perfectly pulled together and balanced. Purchasing in twos also reduces the number of decisions you have to make. One exception? Art. Somehow it doesn't feel right buying identical pieces of art, so instead look for works that are part of the same series but not exactly the same.

At the end of September I embarked on a project visit to Romania, to meet Anca, a long standing partner of the charity and trained Vet. This enabled me to gain a much better understanding of the stray dog situation and the issues that Anca faces. The Romanian stray dog problem has been recognised for decades and despite the best efforts of rescue organisations and individuals, the situation remains bleak. Within minutes of leaving Bucharest airport the problem became apparent, with stray dogs seemingly on every street corner.
The dogs roam the streets in packs which can be intimidating causing fear and suspicion amongst locals. These feelings are widespread in the population and this ignorance leads directly to cruelty cases. The weekend before we arrived in Romania a litter of puppies we were expecting to rehome were poisoned, sadly two passed away and another two remain seriously ill. I have been made aware of hundreds of vile abuse cases in this last year alone; where in the UK the perpetrator would be prosecuted, in Romania these cruelty cases are far too common and go unnoticed with perpetrators unprosecuted.
Romania faces ongoing abandonment of dogs; pets are often callously thrown onto the streets and forced to fend for themselves with no consideration of their well being. Take Koko for example, a beautiful Chow-Chow mix who was discarded for not barking enough! Despite this, puppies continue to be born either to be abandoned or killed. We visited 'hotspots' for dumping dogs, including a railway crossing and a graveyard, where hundreds of dogs are dumped each year. Unfortunately not all of the Romanian population see animals in the same way we do in the UK. Animals are not considered a priority in countries where the economy is struggling, so often they fall victim to neglect due to lack of resources and facilities as well as education.
Trap, neuter, release schemes alongside education initiatives are the only hope Romania has to manage their exploding stray dog population. Anca, an extraordinary vet and dog rescuer who has been with Wild at Heart Foundation since the beginning, regularly neuters stray dogs and lets them recover in her home before releasing them. During my trip I also met Bogdan who founded 'The Rainbow Shelter' in Brasov. In addition to caring for over 70 dogs in the shelter, Bogdan regularly takes stray dogs from the street to be neutered and returned. The dedication of volunteers like Anca and Bogdan to tackle these issues head on, despite the contrasting views of their communities is highly admirable.
Whether a Romanian dog is on the streets starving, cold and facing death at every corner or stuck in a public shelter abused and traumatised, this is no life for them. Please help us control the stray dog population… it only costs £25 to neuter a dog and prevent the birth of 100 unwanted puppies. Please help us. DONATE HERE.

This man named Camille Mother or father introduced his mom to a nursing house whereby different individuals can take care of his mom whereas he is working. All alongside, he thought that bringing his mother to the nursing residence would be the greatest for her, however he was very flawed. When he will get to go to his mom, he noticed bruises and scratches on her face. That is the time when Camille Mum or dad determined to place up a hidden digital camera in his mom's room for him to see what is occurring inside his mother's room whereas he is gone.
He was greater than stunned when he checked the digital camera that he hid inside his mom's room. He noticed how this employees blown his nostril within the mattress covers of Camille Mother or father's mom, he noticed how different residents stroll out and in of his mom's room. What even caught his consideration is when this employees, pressured his mom to put on the grownup diaper though it was apparent within the video that the affected person does not need to put on it.
After watching this horrible video, Camille Father or mother then took motion by displaying the video to the CEO of the nursing house. And as anticipated, the CEO was extra stunned with what he noticed.
"That is not acceptable. Based mostly on what I see on the preliminary investigation, It's completely unacceptable"
