Updates sent by LW: UN Reform

By Lolag
We would like to bring to your attention the launch of an updated UN Reform website http://www.un.org/reform/ . The information, cleared by the Secretary-General's Office, has been updated to provide the highlights of UN Reform from 2007-2008. The UN Reform site includes information about initiatives undertaken by the SG, and with Member States, in the areas of development, peace and security, human rights, humanitarian assistance and management. As with many websites, this is a living document, and will be periodically updated to reflect new developments. Language versions of the site will follow as soon as we can arrange for translations of the final text. There are links throughout the text to additional documents and information sources, including to websites of other principal Charter organs. However, as was the case with the previous version of the website, there is no discussion of Security Council composition and representation, or revitalization of the General Assembly, or restructuring of the workings of the Economic and Social Council; these details may be found on the websites of the General Assembly, for example, and on the UN Official Documents website. A new feature of this site is the box that shows Latest News stories on reform-related topics - this links to the UN News Centre where additional stories may be found. We would like to encourage you to draw on this website to inform local audiences. If possible, you may wish to carry out translations into non-official languages; a Word document in English is made available for this purpose. Please consult the website to see how information was formatted. We hope you find the website useful. We would be grateful for your feedback which you may send to hosali@un.org, copied to laishley@un.org. Many thanks. Roy Laishley Deputy Director News and Media Division (212) 963-6832

About Venice

By
  1. Venice was built on wooden piles – True. The city is constructed on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and sand beneath the lagoon. Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5. Piles are driven up to three meters deep and spaced half a meter apart – Generally accurate. The depth and spacing vary, but...
