Milli-PEET: Millipede Body Organization

There are over 12,000 described species of millipedes placed in 16 orders. On this website, the orders, their suborders and families are listed under Taxonomy and their possible relationships are illustrated in Millipede Systematics in the Tools & Resources section. The basic parts of a millipede body and theterms used to describe them are explained in the Introduction to Millipedes section.

The body of a millipede is divided into two distinct parts, the head and the trunk. The head is at the front of the animal, and is easy to identify because it houses the eyes, antennae and mouthparts. The main functions of the head are sensing the environment around the millipede using the eyes and antennae, and eating using the mouthparts. The eyes of the millipede are composed of ocelli, or simple eyes. There are usually multiple ocelli that compose an eye, but certain millipede orders lack eyes entirely. The trunk is composed of several body rings. The first body ring is called the collum and is found directly behing the head. The collum segment is legless. The next four body rings behind the collum each have only one pair of legs. All remaining body rings, except the very last few have two pairs of legs. The number of these apodous body rings, or rings that lack legs, can vary. Many millipedes have ozopores, or defense glands, on the sides of most of their body rings. The millipede produces a chemical defense that is exuded through the ozopores to deter predators or other curious animals.

Anadenobolus arboreus (Spirobolida, family Rhinocricidae)

Many male millipedes use modified legs to place their sperm into the vulvae of the female. The paired female vulvae are located on or behind the base (coxa) of the second leg pair. The position of these sperm-transferring organs in males differs in the various orders and suborders of millipedes. In the small bristle millipedes (order Penicillata) males do not have modified legs; they deposit a sperm packet, or spermatophore, on the ground. The female picks the sperm up herself. In the pill-millipedes and related groups, either one leg pair (orders Glomeridesmida and Glomerida) or two leg pairs (order Sphaerotheriida) at the posterior end of the males are strongly modified for mating and sperm transfer. In the Helminthomorpha, which contains all the remaining 12 orders of millipedes, the legs of the 7th and/or 8th body ring are strongly modified into gonopods. In some groups only one of the leg pairs may be modified, while in others one leg pair of the 7th ring might be reduced. The gonopods may be carried in a pouch inside the body.

The two links below present a schematic overview of the different configurations of gonopods in the helminthomorph orders. The Colobognatha (orders Platydesmida, Polyzoniida, Siphonocryptida, and Siphonophorida) carry 8 walking legs in front of their leg-like gonopods. The posterior leg of the 7th body ring and the anterior legs of the 8th body ring are modified to gonopods. In the remaining helminthomorph orders, there are 7 walking legs in front of the gonopods. The anterior, and in many groups also the posterior, legs of the 7th body ring are modified. In the order Chordeumatida, the legs of the 8th ring are modified as well.

The schematic drawings are purely descriptive and do not imply homology. For example, the structure of the gonopods in Callipodida and Siphoniulida is very different. These illustrations show only which legs are modified to gonopods, not how they are similar or different in both groups. The distinction between the sperm-transferring gonopod (indicated in black) and the accessory gonopods (indicated in grey) was inferred by the presence or absence of the sperm groove in the sperm-transferring gonopod. Very little is known about the function of gonopods (see the Bibliography in the Tools & Resources section for literature on this topic).

Bank Technique OJSC signs for Oracle Flexcube

31 January 2013  |  3144 views  |  0 Source: Oracle

Oracle today announced that Bank Technique OJSC (previously named Technika Bank OJSC), has selected Oracle Flexcube to replace a Temenos T24 core banking platform implementation.

Operating across Azerbaijan, Bank Technique has selected Oracle FLEXCUBE Universal Banking to help ensure a stable core banking solution is in place, allowing it to focus on its core objective of growth.

Bank Technique has also chosen Oracle FLEXCUBE Direct Banking to provide its 150,000 Corporate and Retail customers the first opportunity in Azerbaijani banking for mobile access to every product, as well as a 360 degree view across all banking channels for a better customer experience.

In addition to signing up for a new, robust, scalable and centralised core banking solution, Bank Technique has selected Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation to consolidate data scattered across multiple disparate systems.

To better manage their data and measure risk, Bank Technique is adopting Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure to enable insights to be quickly turned into products that will meet the changing demands of a growing multi-channel banking market.

With a view to increasing market share through innovative new offerings and faster response times, Bank Technique signed the initial contract with Oracle in July 2012.

The first phase of the Oracle FLEXCUBE implementation is underway, and is due to be followed by the planned roll-out of Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation and Analytical Applications.

The implementation is being managed by Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Specialized Platinum level member EGAR Technology.

Ulvi Mansurov, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Bank Technique said: "From my previous experience, there was no question that Oracle was the right company to provide Bank Technique with a stable, streamlined core banking solution that would require minimal manual intervention. When I started at Bank Technique data was scattered across different systems and was of little use to the bank for making quick decisions, offering innovative new products, or for providing our corporate and retail customers with an excellent service when and where they needed it. With the Oracle FLEXCUBE core banking platform, Oracle Data Foundation and Oracle Analytical Applications, I am excited and confident that Bank Technique will grow its market share in a way that would have been impossible with the previous technology infrastructure in place."

Chet Kamat, Managing Director and CEO, Oracle Financial Services Software said: "Oracle has over the years established a strong track record in delivering successful outcomes for banks looking to take a quantum leap in their business by leveraging technology. We are very proud to have been brought into Bank Technique to help it overcome its challenges and fulfil the vision of its management team. This builds on our existing strong presence in Azerbaijan. Oracle was able to meet both the core banking and analytical applications requirements of Bank Technique, which needed to implement a streamlined, stable and centralised core banking platform in order to grow through multi-channel banking, including mobile and internet banking. We are looking forward to helping Bank Technique throughout the implementation of a number of Oracle solutions, and contributing towards its growth."

Gloss vs. Matte Glass Tile: A Sheen Showdown

by Shannon Malone

Whether you are remodeling your bathroom or building a swimming pool, consider using glass tile for a unique look unlike any other surface material.  Luminescent, impervious and pillowy soft, our recycled glass tile is sure to steal the show.  But first you'll have to make a few tough decisions, one being the finish – Gloss or Matte?  Seems so simple, right?  Not when you're the one making the decision!  Both glass finishes offer a distinctive look, and both have their own set of pros and cons.  To help you decide which finish is best for your project, we've put together a list of all of the benefits and challenges of using our glass contenders.  So here we go, it's a sheen showdown!

Pros of using a gloss finish

1. Gloss is reflective:  A gloss surface reflects light, so if you are looking to make your space feel lighter and brighter, this finish is the right choice for you.

2. Gloss is vibrant:  Our glass tile has through body color, meaning the rich pigmentation we use goes all the way through the glass tile body.  A gloss finish highlights the transparent color, making an even stronger visual statement.

3. Gloss is low maintenance: Being impervious to water, glass tile is one of the easiest tile types to keep clean, and a glossy, easy to wipe finish makes maintenance even less painful.

Cons of using a gloss finish

1. Gloss is slippery:  A smooth, glossy surface will be slippery, especially when wet.  Therefore, we do not recommend using a gloss finish on the floor.  If you do, make sure to choose a small tile size to help with slip resistance, the more grout the better!

2. Gloss highlights imperfections: fingerprints, footprints and water spots–All those pesky imperfections will be exaggerated on a gloss finish.  Gloss is also more transparent than matte finishes, so be aware of your tile backing, it will show underneath lighter gloss colors.

3. Gloss can be distracting:  The reflective quality of a gloss finish isn't for everyone.  If you're looking for a calm, serene aesthetic, gloss probably isn't the right fit.  The reflective quality will create more light, and make colors feel brighter.

Gloss Color shown is Plankton

Pros of using a matte finish

1. Matte is soft: While gloss colors are often bold and vibrant, matte colors offer the opposite effect–a soft, muted hue, perfect for creating a calm and soothing space.

2. Our Matte finish is etched: To create a highly durable finish, we etch the surface of our glass tile.  This technique creates a unique surface texture that will last you a lifetime, compared to other glass tiles that only have a thin "matte film" applied to the surface, which will chip and scratch off over time.

3. Matte is is more slip resistant:  If you are looking to put glass tile on a floor, a matte finish is your safest bet.  The etched surface provides slip resistance, to an otherwise smooth and slippery material.  So if you want a glass tile shower pan, go matte all the way!

Bathroom showerpan installation featuring our Matte Colors Morning Glory Matte, Forget Me Not Matte, Icicle Matte, Wallflower Matte, Lamb's Ear Matte, and Blueberry Matte; Image: Malcolm Fearon, Bliss Images

Cons of using a matte finish

1. Matte finish costs a little more: Glass tile starts at $28/sf. Because we manually etch the surface for added durability, our Matte finish runs a few dollars more, starting at $34/sf.

2. Matte can require maintenance: A matte finish can be a bit harder to maintain, it's possible for water spots to be more visible if you live in an area with hard water.

3. Matte is not translucent: A color with matte finish will not be as translucent as a gloss finish.  The matte finish creates a cloudy effect, so if you are looking for high translucency and reflection, matte may not be for you.

Color shown is Wallflower Matte

Can't decide between gloss and matte?  Try mixing both for a unique surface texture and custom look!

Dissenting Statement of Commissioner Roscoe B. Starek, III

in R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Docket No. 9285

I am very concerned about the harm that cigarette smoking poses to children, but I also take seriously the statutory limits on the Commission's authority to pursue enforcement actions against allegedly unfair practices. The evidence before us now, including the evidence obtained since the Commission considered this matter in 1994, does not convince me that there is reason to believe that the law has been violated. The issue in this case is whether the Joe Camel advertising campaign causes or is likely to cause children to begin or to continue smoking. As was true three years ago, intuition and concern for children's health are not the equivalent of -- and should not be substituted for -- evidence sufficient to find reason to believe that there is a likely causal connection between the Joe Camel advertising campaign and smoking by children.

Moreover, it simply is not in the public interest to bring this case now. Before committing a vast amount of scarce agency resources to this litigation, the Commission should await the resolution of the appeal of the federal district court decision striking down the Food and Drug Administration's tobacco advertising restrictions and the outcome of widely-reported settlement discussions between tobacco companies and numerous states. Either of these developments might result in advertising restraints that would largely duplicate any remedies the Commission might obtain.

Accordingly, I dissent from the majority's determination to issue a complaint.

About Anthony Day

The DAY family seems to have originated in Wales. The name is derived from Dee - dark. The Day family may have taken its name from a river in Wales (cf. "The Miller of the Dee"). There is conflicting information about the year of Anthony Day's birth but he made oath June 20, 1695 that he was eighty; therefore he was born about 1615.

Anthony Day sailed from Gravesend, England, July 6, 1935 on the Paule of London, Leonard Betts, Master, bound to Virginia. After arriving in Virginia in 1635 we find that he migrated north to Gloucester, MA that same year. Before 1645 Anthony Day is Proprietor of Gloucester. Original settler Leominster, MA and later at Salem and Ipswich.

Anthony Day married April 23, 1650 to Susannah her maiden name is shown as Matchett and also Ring. Anthony Day defended Susannah's good name in court. She was a servant to William Vinson, who slandered her.

Anthony Day's death is shown as April 23, 1707; but as his administer gave bond on May 13, 1708 he may have died in the latter year.

Compilation of Database

  • **********************************************************************************************************

For Susannah's Honor

In 1649 Anthony found himself embroiled in litigation concerning his wife to be, Susanna Matchett. Susanna was a bond servant of William Vinson of Gloucester. Anthony had entered into a marriage contract with Susanna. But prior to the marriage, Vinson, for some unknown reasons, made some disparaging remarks about his maidservant for which Anthony decided to take him to court.Anthony went to the Clerk of write in Gloucester to obtain a warrant against Vinson. Unfortunately, Reverend Blymann, Pastor of the First Parish Church of Gloucester, got wind of the controversy and decided to intercede. Quarterly Court records record that the Reverend Blynmann confronted

Anthony, laid hold of the warrant , tore it to shreds and threw it in the fire. When the Clerk of Write refused to issue Anthony a second warrant Anthony decided to take Blynmann to court as well.Concerning this incident the Quarterly Court Records of Essex County, Salem Court Adjourned November 7, 1649 read: "Anthony Day of Gloster vs. Mr. Blinman, the pastor there, for tearing a warrant he had taken out against William Vinson and throwing it in the fire, and the Clerk of Write there refused to grant him another warrant. Mr. Blinmann answered that he did it to stop proceeding and have the matter healed privately. He was astonished for his rash act." Anthony prevailed in his court action and a second warrant was issued against Vinson. Later that year (1649) Vinson appeared in Salem Court to defend himself. The record reads: Note: "William Vinson of Glostar, being accused by Anthony Day of reproaching his servant Susan Matchett, to whom Anthony was Contracted, saying she was not virtuous, etc., confessed and was discharged." Thus Anthony was successful in vindicating the good name of his wife to be. Anthony and Susanna were married circa 1649/1650.

  • *****************************************************************************************
Sailed from London July 1635 on ship Paule; settled in Worcester! Anthony info found in Tower printed history.

Anthony Day is noted in the Salem Quarterly Court Records and Files, as cited in the Essex Antiquarian Vol 6 p. 160 & 161. In the Court session held on the 11th day of the 7th month of 1649, Anthony Day is first charged by Mr. Blinman "the pastor there for tearing of a warrant he had taken forth against William Vinson and throwing it in the fire. He answered that he did it to stop proceedings and have the matter healed privately. he was admonished for his 'rash act.'"

Later in the record, William Vionson of Gloucester, "being accused by Anthony Day of reproaching his servant Susan Matchett, unto whom Day was contracted, saying she was not virtuous, etc., confessed and was discharged."[6]

Death: Aug. 31, 1911 Basalt Bingham County Idaho, USA

Father: Joseph Crofts Mother: Sarah Wainright Spouse: Ellen Rothwell, md. Hannah Smith, md. Esther Elizabeth Smith McConnell, md.

The heroes of today are those who have aided in transforming the once desert wilderness into fruitful fields, and have made the desert plains to "blossom like the rose", and conspicuous among their number in this section of the state of Idaho. We must mention John Crofts, now a farmer near Basalt, Idaho, who is in many ways identified with the progress and moral advancement of the community which is fortunate in numbering him among it's intelligent and representative citizens. He was born on March 24, 1832, in North Wales, a son of Joseph Crofts and Sarah Wainwright, who died in their native land, descendants of families long connected with the residents of Wales.One bright spring morning he bade his family farewell and went over to Manchester County in hopes of finding work. He found a lady friend, Ellen Rothwell, the daughter of Samuel Rothwell and Mary Fletcher. She was born Dec. l4, 1837 in the town of Worsley in the Eccles Parish. On the first day of January, 1854, in the Eccles Church was celebrated the marriage rites of John Crofts and Ellen Rothwell. Soon after their marriage, a couple of Mormon missionaries visited their home. They were very interested and were soon baptized. On April 21, 1855 their first little son was born. They named him Edward. He was born in Pendlebury, near Manchester. In about one year they left their native land, their parents families and friends, with tears in their eyes and a wave of the hand, they braved the seas in vessel frail. They were six weeks sailing on the blue sea. Little Edward took his first little steps while on the ship. Their first home in America was made in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and that is where Emma Jane was born. They then moved to Westmoreland County, then to Madison County, Illinois. There they stayed until 1862, where little Joseph was born. Johnny was born Feb. 2, 1862 and on June 2, 1862, they accompanied a Mormon company which crossed the plains with oxen teams to Salt Lake City, Utah. They arrived on Oct.19, 1862.The next spring Grandpa farmed a piece of land in Morgan County and from there they went to Summit County, then to Porterville, Utah. In 1878 they moved to Orderville, Utah. In 1879 Grandpa married a second wife, Hannah Smith. They had two sweet little baby girls named Rose Hannah, born Jan, 1880, and Margaret Ann, born Mar.17, 1882. Hannah Smith was married 3 times -- John was her first marriage. Then in Jan. 1880, Grandpa married a third wife, Esther Elizabeth Smith McConnell, and they had two children, Catherine Aurelia, born Jan. 9, 1882 and Robert Smith, born Sept.16, 1883. The mother passed away when Robert was two weeks of age on Sept.30. Grandpa and Grandma raised them. They also raised two other grandchildren, Harvey E., born Apr. 9, 1897 and Lillie M. born Oct. 2, 1899. They had them sealed to them which gave them nineteen children.

Grandpa and Grandma had l5 children altogether, they are as follows: Edward: Born April 21, l855 in England. Emma Jane: Born May 28, l857 in Conemaugh, Pennsylvania. Joseph William: Born Sept.16, l859 in Ray Co. Missouri. John: Born Feb. 2, 1862 in Madison Co. Illinois. Samuel: Born June 23, 1864 in Porterville, Utah. He died unmarried on the first of April 1880 in Orderville. Ephriam: Born Nov. 2, 1866 in Porterville, Utah. James Henry: Born Oct.12, 1869 in Portervifle, Utah. Hiram Thomas: Born Jan.28, 1871 in Porterville, Utah. Charles Walter: Born Apr. 8, 1873 in Porterville, Utah. Parley Alonzo: Born May 8, l875 in Portervifle, Utah. Richard: Born Feb.22, 1878 in Porterville, Utah. Albert Almer: Born July 10, 1879 in Orderville, Utah. Alfred Elmer: Born July 10, 1879 in Orderville, Utah. Sarah Mary Ellen: Born Aug.12, 1880 in Orderville, Utah. Wilford Woodruff: Born Sept.18, 1882 in Orderville, Utah.

Now we see that Grandpa and Grandma kept the first great commandment. They suffered many hardships and poverty but through it they were patient and kind to everyone. They were talented singers and took part in all the Church activities. Grandma's parents, Samuel Rothwell and Mary Fletcher, and family came to America but stayed in Pennsylvania. In 1872 Grandma's sister, Emma, died in childbirth, leaving five little children and her husband, Henry Syddall. Her Mother, Mary Fletcher, passed away in 1873. Then Henry Syddall brought the children to Utah. In 1880, her Father, Samuel Rothwell, died in Salt Lake City. The grandparents of Grandma, Thomas Rothwell and Ann Johnson, were natives of Pendlebury, England for more than a century. Grandpa and Grandma bore faith promoting testimonies of the goodness of the lord to them. Grandpa died Aug.11, 1911 in Basalt, Idaho and Grandma died Jan. 16, 1921 in Basalt, Idaho.

Bring your precious metal working ancestors on over to this project. Project collaborators, feel free to update the overview, especially the "notables" and "sources" sections.

I hope from use of this project to see a human family history of working with gold and silver, through history and around the world.

Profiles must be set to public.

A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. Historically goldsmiths have also made silverware, platters, goblets, decorative and serviceable utensils, and ceremonial or religious items.

Gold has been worked by humans in all cultures where the metal is available, either indigenously or imported, and the history of these activities is extensive. Superbly made objects from the ancient cultures of Europe, Africa, India, Asia, South America, Mesoamerica, and North America grace museums and collections around the world. Some pieces date back thousands of years and were made using many techniques that are still used by modern goldsmiths.

In medieval Europe goldsmiths were organized in guilds and were usually one of the most important and wealthy of the guilds in a city. The guild kept records of members and the marks they used on their products. These records, when they survive, are very useful to historians. Goldsmiths often acted as bankers, since they dealt in gold and had sufficient security for the safe storage of valuable items. In the Middle Ages, goldsmithing normally included silversmithing as well, but the brass workers and workers in other base metals were normally in a separate guild, since the trades were not allowed to overlap. Many jewelers were also goldsmiths.

The Khudabadi Sindhi Swarankar community is one of the oldest communities in goldsmithing in India, whose superb gold artworks were displayed at The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London.

The printmaking technique of engraving developed among goldsmiths in Germany around 1430, who had long used the technique on their metal pieces. The notable engravers of the 15th century were either goldsmiths, such as Master E. S., or the sons of goldsmiths, such as Martin Schongauer and Albrecht Dürer.

A silversmith is a craftsman who makes objects from silver or gold. The terms 'silversmith' and 'goldsmith' are not synonyms as the techniques, training, history, and guilds are or were largely the same but the end product varies greatly as does the scale of objects created.

Silversmithing is the art of turning silver and gold sheetmetal into hollowware (dishes, bowls, porringers, cups, vases, ewers, urns, etc.), flatware (silverware), and other articles of Household silver.

In Ethiopia the trade of silversmith was practised by the Jews of Ethiopia, otherwise known as the Falasha. The activity was considered to be inferior to others, as reliant on manual skills.

In the ancient Near East the value of silver to gold being less, allowed a silversmith to produce objects and store these as stock. Ogden states that according to an edict written by Diocletian, a silversmith was able to charge, 75, 150 or 300 denarii for material produce (per Roman pound). At that time guilds of silversmith's formed to look out for the welfare of their number.

Silversmiths in medieval Europe and England formed guilds and transmitted their tools and techniques to new generations via the apprentice tradition. Silverworking guilds often maintained consistency and upheld standards at the expense of innovation. Beginning in the 17th century, artisans emigrated to America and experienced fewer restrictions. As a result, silverworking was one of the trades that helped to inaugurate the shift to industrialization in America.

Water System for Peace Demonstration Farm, Uganda

by Grassroots Uganda- Empowering African Women

This project is to install a water system at Peace Demonstration Farm in Uganda. The purpose of the farm is to teach Ugandans to expand their thinking about farming, and to teach them new and innovative farming techniques. This will help people pull themselves out of poverty by giving them a hand up, instead of a hand out. The farm will use the water well to irrigate crops, and the well will serve as the primary source of clean water for the villages of Nyenje and Budugala.
total goal
monthly donor
years active

We need a sustainable way of watering our crops, on a year round basis- especially during the harsh dry seasons.

By installing a solar water pump, storage tanks, and an irrigation system, we will be able to water our crops year round and show the people and beneficiaries the value of new and innovative water techniques.

Long-Term Impact

Peace Farm is a demonstration farm. This means that we teach people new and innovative farming techniques such as watering, crop rotation, composting, ect. By watering our crops, Peace Farm will be better able to show people these techniques which will enhance the lives of the farmers, and thus help the farmers raise themselves and their families out of poverty.

Theses Towards a Democratic Reform of the UN Security Council

By James Paul and Céline Nahory

July 13, 2005

1. Council Reform Badly Needed, but Solutions Are Difficult
In a world torn by war and violence, we need a far better Security Council to promote international peace and security and defend international law. Since the Council plays a much more active role than in the past, its failures are more evident and its reform is more urgent than ever. But the path to reform is exceedingly difficult. Nations can agree on the Council’s shortcomings, but they differ sharply on the necessary solutions. All agree, for example, that the Council’s membership and institutional structures reflect outdated geopolitical realities and political thinking, shaped by the world of 1945. The five permanent members, with their vetoes and many special privileges, now arouse widespread criticism as a self-appointed oligarchy. But for more than a decade, nations have been debating Council reform in the UN General Assembly without result. Change in the Council’s membership, the most thorny issue of all, requires revision of the UN Charter. Proposals have come and gone, but no membership plan has yet won the needed support for such a major institutional change. At present, a new burst of diplomatic energy has enlivened this important but much-misunderstood issue.

2. Council Reform Issues Go Beyond Membership Change
The debate on membership expansion (and new permanent members) attracts most of the attention, but Council reform involves much more than the chairs around the table and who sits in them. The Council is far too loosely organized and depends far too much on the management of the permanent five (P-5). By design, it has only minor institutional support from the Secretariat, placing impossible burdens on the delegations of elected members and weakening all efforts at institutional development, precedent-setting and organized institutional memory. Incredibly, the Council’s rules of procedure remain “provisional” after nearly sixty years of operation. The Council’s influential presidency changes constantly in a monthly rotation, producing an organized confusion. Most of the Council’s business takes place behind closed doors, in “consultations of the whole,” away from scrutiny and accountability and lacking any record (such as minutes) that could be referenced by future members. The Council passes many resolutions but only haphazardly enforces them, fueling resistance to perceived “double standards” in its actions. Too often it seems the captive of great power politics with little connection to the needs of the world’s peoples. The ten elected members of the Council say they feel like “tourists” or short-term passengers on a long distance train. In spite of some minor improvements in working methods, the Council remains inflexible, oligarchic and out of touch with the world.

3. The Council Reform Movement Seeks Disparate Goals but Many Want More Democracy
Calls for Council reform began in the early 1990s, in response to the Council’s controversial action and inaction (Iraq and Rwanda for example) and the Council’s growing activity in the post-Cold War period. Critics of the Council made seven demands – that the Council be: (1)more representative, (2)more accountable, (3)more legitimate, (4)more democratic, (5)more transparent, (6)more effective and (7)more fair and even-handed (no double standards). Such demands seem reasonable, but they are not easily compatible. A Council of forty members, for example, might be more representative, but it would hardly be more effective. Still, many reformers have sought a more broadly democratic institution that would weaken the oligarchy and create a more diverse and broadly representative body. But reform action has to confront many questions: How best to promote accountability, transparency or other sought-after qualities? How to win political support for a reform package that the oligarchs must accept? And how to bridge the gaps between diplomatic rhetoric and institutional reality?

4. Democratic Slogans and Undemocratic Practices
Reformers sometimes ask: how can even the best-organized Council function effectively and fairly in a world where great powers, like Tyrannosaurs, stalk the global landscape? Powerful governments that claim to champion “freedom,” “democracy,” and “good governance,” have been known to behave despotically in the international arena, bending small states to their will and acting in violation of international law. Such powers sit in the Council and cannot be expected to solve problems that they themselves have created. This can be called the “foxes guarding the chicken coop” problem. Some reform proposals, couched in democratic language, would multiply this problem -- enlarging the oligarchy by adding five or six other powerful governments. More permanent members would scarcely make the Council more representative, accountable, transparent, legitimate or even-handed. Self-interest, not democracy, motivates these membership claims and a Council loaded with more permanent members would suffer from gridlock and political sclerosis.

5. “Realist” Reform Arguments
Some scholars and think-tank analysts have argued that reform must bow to “realism” and that the Council must reflect the actual distribution of wealth and power in the world, not abstract ideas of fairness and justice. This line of argument shows an important conundrum in Council reform. How can democracy operate in a state system with such huge global disparities of wealth and power? Clearly, the answer cannot be a Council composed largely or entirely of major powers. Such a body could never command sufficient legitimacy much less arrive at fair and effective decisions. Reforms that appear “realistic” today would soon prove thoroughly un-realistic, leading to further domination, bitterness, destabilization and violence. Effective reform can and must solve this problem. Shallow “realist” thinking and the narrow state-interest of aspirants to permanency will not produce the needed innovation.

6. Charter-Changing Reform Projects Are Unlikely, Especially for New Permanent Members
Changes in the UN Charter, like all constitutional changes, must command a very high degree of support in the international community. Proponents of any Charter-based reform plan will face great difficulty in winning the necessary two-thirds vote in the General Assembly and still more difficulty obtaining ratifications from two-thirds of all member states, including the mandatory endorsement of the five permanent members. Assent and ratification by the P-5 will be the most difficult (and unlikely) of all. In spite of public declarations to the contrary, the P-5 are content with the present arrangements and oppose any changes that might dilute or challenge their power or expand their “club.” China has already announced it will block permanent membership for Japan and the United States has suggested that it will only support Council reform that commands an implausibly “broad consensus.”

7. Middle Powers Pursue Self-Interest through Permanency
Influential middle powers Japan, India, Brazil, and Germany have come together as the Group of Four (G-4), supporting each other’s bid for permanent seats on the Council. Brazil would be the only permanent member from Latin America, India and Japan would bring Asia’s permanent seats to three, while Germany would bring Europe’s permanent seats to four. Africa claims two new permanent seats of its own and has at least five aspirants, among whom South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt have the strongest claims. In seeking new permanent seats, these 7+ nations must curry favor with the P-5, who can veto their bid for permanent membership. So the aspirants give up at least part of their independence on the world stage and they abandon (for the time being) alternative reform projects that might be more innovative, lasting and democratic.

8. Permanent Member Candidates Stir Rivalries that Ensure Defeat
Japan and Germany have realized that they cannot reach permanent status without other new permanent members from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Ironically, however, these Southern partners make the Japanese-German bid even more unattainable. Each additional candidate for permanent status stirs the opposition of its own regional rivals, multiplying the number of opponents. Thus Pakistan opposes India, Argentina and Mexico oppose Brazil, South Korea and China oppose Japan, and Italy opposes Germany – to name only the best-known cases. In Africa, with many candidates in the wings, rivalry has become even more intense. This complex political geometry assures broad opposition and guarantees defeat for the aspirants. Opponents have come together in an organized grouping called “Uniting for Consensus.” The considerable interest attracted by the Uniting for Consensus group and the modest number of co-sponsors of the G-4 proposal suggest the looming collapse of the G-4’s reform initiative.

9. More Permanent Members Would Multiply the Deformities of Permanency
If the G-4 resolution fails, as it likely will, the Council will escape from a dangerous and crippling reform. As the past sixty years have demonstrated, permanency of membership makes the Council inflexible and unable to accommodate change. Like “president for life,” permanent membership sets the stage for future anomalies and provides no avenue for normal evolution as states’ status and power rises and declines in the international system. One ambassador from an elected delegation in the Council called the permanent members mockingly the “H-5” or Hereditary Five, to highlight the anachronism of their status in a world that aspires to democracy. The present five permanent members already burden the Council heavily. Ten or eleven permanents would make matters much worse. Their presence would block future reform and make limitation or outright elimination of permanency far more difficult.

10. Permanent Members Have Rights but Few Responsibilities
The Council needs the involvement and support of major states to do its work effectively, but the permanent members often fail to meet their responsibilities. Permanent members have offered very few troops and military support to the Council’s peacekeeping operations and some permanent members have even been seriously in arrears with their UN assessments, putting the organization’s finances in danger, and preventing needed peacekeeping operations because of funding caps. An unspoken but key reform issue is: how to make those with the most influence and resources more supportive of the Council and of the UN, without the UN giving in to their blackmail and allowing them to call the shots because of their major-supporter status?

11. More Permanent Members Would Further Block Council Action
Permanent members, through their veto and veto-threat, prevent the Council from acting on important matters of peace and security that fall within their national interest. Five permanent members already prevent the Council from acting on a very wide range of topics. Five or six new permanent members would exclude many more matters. Indeed, eleven permanents might exclude virtually all topics from the Council’s agenda, making effective Council action all but impossible. The aspirants claim that they are ready to agree not to use their veto for fifteen years and presumably this would reduce the problem of blockage – but only partially. Since their votes would be important in Council deal-making, they could still exercise powerful blocking action and impose their national interests in a manner not altogether different from their veto-wielding colleagues.

12. More Permanent Members Would Burden the UN with more Specially Privileged Members and Special Perks
The five permanent members have two well-known Council advantages – continuous membership and veto power, both privileges provided in the Charter. But permanent members have wrested many more special privileges and perks for themselves. They insist on the right to control certain high-ranking UN posts and to name the tenants in those posts (or at least have a large influence over who among their nationals may occupy them). They intervene regularly in the workings of the Secretariat and disproportionately influence the wording of reports and the shaping of initiatives. They insist on the right to have one of their nationals sit as a judge in the World Court, so that their interests will be represented there. And they even have their own private lounges at UN headquarters. These privileges for the Five place a heavy burden on the UN, reducing, as a consequence, the rights and privileges of all others. Adding five or six more states in this “first class” category would be a ruinous development.

13. A Middle Tier of Privilege – the “Plan B” Option and its Variants
The Secretary General’s Panel on “Threats” proposed a new type of Council membership – a middle tier that would be elected but for longer terms, so as to provide a semi-permanent status for middle powers. This solution, sometimes referred to as “Model B” or the “Blue Model,” is seen as a kind of consolation prize for Germany, Japan, Brazil and the rest. Further, by providing a new category of longer Council terms, it recognizes the problem of the very short, two-year terms that elected members have at present. Another proposal presented in the Uniting for Consensus resolution in July, and known as the “Green Model,” proposes simply an expansion of ten more elected seats, with all elected members being able to stand for re-election and win additional two-year terms. These proposals are greatly preferable to adding permanent members but they have a serious disadvantage – they add many new members to the Council, making it extremely unwieldy.

14. Enlargement (in Whatever Form) Would Make the Council Cumbersome and Ineffective
The Council is not a legislature, but rather a body that combines quasi-legislative authority in security emergencies with power for rapid executive action. With fifteen members, the Council is already past the outer limit of the size-efficiency range for an executive body with such big responsibilities. Even in private consultations, ambassadors frequently read lengthy official statements, prepared in capitals. A single round of such “discussion” can take half a day, preventing swift and decisive action. Negotiations are laborious among such a large number of members, and consultations with capitals, time zone differences, and multiple languages add to the burden. Ten or eleven new members would create a hopelessly awkward and inefficient institution.

15. Enlargement Would Lead to an All-powerful Executive Committee
In a famous essay, historian C. Northcote Parkinson used the history of the British cabinet to demonstrate what happens when a body goes past the most efficient size. Ample academic literature makes the same point – when committees get too large, they give rise to executive committees that do all the serious work, or else (worse still) the original body becomes dysfunctional and irrelevant. At the UN, an enlarged ECOSOC stands as a clear example of how greater size detracts from effectiveness. An enlarged Security Council would only reinforce the power of the P-5 (or P-11) as an executive committee, leaving the elected members (however numerous) more powerless and frustrated than ever.

16. Ambassadors with Council Experience Say Enlargement Would Be a Mistake
In recent years, many ambassadors of elected Council members – from all regions and state types – have spoken privately against enlargement, based on their own two years of real Council experience. Such views have been especially striking since they have often run counter to the pro-expansion positions of their national governments. Ambassador Peter van Walsum, who represented the Netherlands on the Council in 1999-2000, was one of these many practical dissenters. In 2005, from retirement, he wrote a forceful commentary in the Financial Times, concluding that “No one can seriously believe a council with 24 members can be more effective than one with 15, but it has become politically incorrect to point this out.”

17. Enlargement Is Not an Effective Route to Better Representation
Member states often argue that added members will make the Council “more representative.” But this is only marginally the case. Adding members adds more states, with their own state interests. Such members only weakly “represent” their region or state-type (poor, island, small, etc.), since there is no system of accountability. Instead, they act primarily on the basis of their own national interest. If they are large regional hegemons, they may seek to increase their hegemony at the expense of other regional states. If they are states involved in civil conflict, they may seek to block Council remedial action (Rwanda notoriously sat on the Council during the genocide) with negative effects on many neighbors. And if they are small and weak states, they may be exposed to great power pressure, bowing often to threats or blandishments and voting according to the interests of the mighty, not the interests of regional neighbors and friends.

18. Suggestions for Representation through More Effective Regionalism
Informal regional arrangements provide the best route to representation on the Council, as a prelude to regional seats. Regional unions of states like the European Union or the African Union will lead in this direction. While the EU has developed furthest, other regional bodies may evolve quickly, including a proposed body in Latin America. In the meantime, regional groups can pool resources and policy coordination and take steps to make regionally-elected states far more responsive to regionally-agreed policy. Each region could have its own secretariat in New York that could strengthen its own elected members and promote common policies with no Charter revision required. This would help small and poor nations to enlarge their capacity and enhance their ability to participate in the Council on a strong footing. A small state with only three or four diplomats on its Council team suffers from a huge disadvantage compared to members with teams of 20 or more. That same small state, supported by a number of experts from a permanent regional secretariat, would magnify its capacity. The regional secretariat would also give elected members access to institutional memory of the Council, narrowing the huge advantage now held by the P-5. To further strengthen regional ties, member delegations could also include diplomats from other regional countries. Brazil and Argentina have already exchanged diplomats during recent Council terms. Other states could act likewise. But real progress can only take place if stronger regional states give up their hopes for permanent seats. When these states realize that progress depends on common action with their neighbors, they can promote common interests and not theirs alone.

19. Towards Restriction of the Veto and Other Special Privileges
Reform of the Council must seek to restrict (and eventually eliminate) the veto, but this obviously cannot be done in the near future through Charter revision, which itself is subject to the veto process. Instead, states must mobilize pressure and persuasion to get P-5 members to limit their veto use, especially the threatened or “hidden veto” that casts a shadow over the Council’s proceedings at all times. If Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and the other aspirant states abandon their quest for permanency, they can provide major diplomatic muscle in this veto-restriction effort along with support for a regional approach to membership. The veto should be immediately ended in such cases as decisions on new UN memberships, election of the Secretary General and other cases rarely touching on core P-5 interests. Similarly, the 185 non-permanent states should make joint efforts to limit other special P-5 privileges, such as claims on high Secretariat posts and World Court seats. Eventually, in the more distant future, permanency itself should be negotiated into well-deserved oblivion and the oligarchy eliminated once and for all.

20. Improvement in the Council’s Working Methods
The spotlight on membership, permanency and Charter change has obscured the promising reform possibilities in the Council’s procedures and working methods – changes that can occur with far less difficulty. In the past fifteen years, the Council has slowly been reforming itself, largely under pressure from the ten elected members. The Council today holds more effective public meetings, consults better with non-Council actors such as Troop Contributing Countries, goes on missions to crisis areas, publishes its program of work and targets its sanctions better, to name just a few significant improvements. But much remains to be done. The Council must close the chapter on the famous “provisional” rules of procedure and adopt standing rules at long last. It must hold more open meetings. It must consider ways to draw support from the Secretariat and to have a more institutionalized presidency. It must devolve more work to subsidiary arrangements such as the team coordinators, lessening the burden of discussion imposed on the ambassadors. It must strengthen the work of its expert panels and bring them together into a united information-sharing process. And it must work harder to seek information from the real world and to consult with NGOs and policy actors of all kinds.

21. Council Reform Is a Work in Progress, Not a Quick Fix
Council reform is a process for the long haul, not a quick fix. It must be based on ideas for a more democratic global future, not outworn concepts from the past like permanency and great power oligarchies. In the midst of the present diplomatic furor, it is time to take a more calm and long-term view. What kind of world do we want and how can we patiently find the way there?

Quotes & Highlights

“[Snyder] has assembled an ideal cast … An ensemble of eight actors creates just the right sense of office politics. And Thad Hallstein’s set (an office men’s room, work cubicles, a bed) allows for seamless transitions.” —Chicago Sun-Times (highly recommended)
“Aside from his mordant wit and whip-fast pace, the director Rick Snyder’s great strength here is in the way that he fleshes out the cubicle Satan and his sidekick, focusing on the moments when the faintest glimpse of compassion or complexity flicker across their brows. That’s the great, underappreciated touchstone in LaBute’s writing: the moments when his odious characters have to bat back their internal human decency … LaBute certainly has made this into a viable and wickedly amusing stage piece.” —Chicago Tribune (3.5 of 4 stars)

Profiles Theatre presents the professional debut production of Neil LaBute’s revised stage play, In the Company of Men_. The script, performed in various incarnations as a play at earlier stages of LaBute’s writing career as both a student and otherwise, was eventually made into the acclaimed film released in 1997 launching the careers of star Aaron Eckhart and Neil LaBute as a filmmaker and playwright. When it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, _In the Company of Men created a firestorm of controversy with wildly divergent yet passionate opinions. It received the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay, the Filmmaker’s Trophy at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival and The New York Film Critics Award for Best First Feature.

Two frustrated young executives vent their pent-up rage via a childish prank and end up paying a price in this psychological dark comedy. Former college buddies Chad and Howard, now in their late 20s, work for the same company. When the two begin expressing their mutual frustration regarding their lack of rapid advancement at work and their recent bad luck with women, they hatch a nasty scheme: Find a vulnerable young woman to court, slather with affection, and then callously dump. They choose a lovely, hearing-impaired typist named Christine, but soon their scheme creates escalating tension and psychological games not only with hapless Christine, but also with each other.
