The tree axiom states: A collection of sets forms a tree if and only if, for any two sets that belong to the collection, either one is wholly contained in the other, or else they are wholly disjoint. The structure illustrated in diagrams C and D is a tree. Since this axiom excludes the possibility of overlapping sets, there is no way in which the semi-lattice axiom can be violated, so that every tree is a trivially simple semi-lattice.

Figure 1. Columbia, Maryland, Community Research and Development Inc.: Neighborhoods, in clusters of five, form "villages." Transportation joins the villages into a new town. The organization is a tree.

Figure 2. Greenbelt, Maryland, Clarence Stein: This "garden city" has been broken down into superblocks. Each superblock contains schools, parks, and a number of subsidiary groups of houses built around parking lots. The organization is a tree.

Figure 3. Greater London plan (1943), Abercrombie and Forshaw: The drawing depicts the structure conceived by Abercrombie for London. It is made of a large number of communities, each sharply separated from all adjacent communities. Abercrombie writes, "The proposal is to emphasize the identity of the existing communities, to increase their degree of segregation, and where necessary to reorganize them as separate and definite entities." And again, "The communities themselves consist of a series of sub-units, generally with their own shops and schools, corresponding to neighborhood units." The city is conceived as a tree with two principal levels. The communities are the larger units of the structure; the smaller sub-units are neighborhoods. There are no overlapping units. The structure is a tree.

Figure 4. Tokyo plan, Kenzo Tange (left): This is a beautiful example. The plan consists of a series of loops stretched across the Tokyo Bay. There are four major loops, each of which contains three medium loops. In the second major loop, one medium loop is the railway station and another is the port. Otherwise, each medium loop contains three minor loops which are residential neighborhoods, except in the third major loop where one contains government offices and another industrial offices.

Figure 5. Mesa City, Paolo Soleri (left) : The organic shapes of Mesa City lead us, at a careless glance, to believe that it is a richer structure than our more obviously rigid examples. But when we look at it in detail we find precisely the same principle of organization. Take, particularly, the university center. Here we find the center of the city divided into a university and a residential quarter, which is itself divided into a number of villages (actually apartment towers) for 4,000 inhabitants, each again subdivided further and surrounded by groups of still smaller dwelling units.

#OtD 21 Oct 1970 the first women's liberation demonstration took place in Japan in Tokyo, kickstarting the feminist movement in the country. The women were demanding legalisation of the contraceptive pill and opposing any prohibition of abortion stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9435...

Talvolta mi sento come un gladiatore in allenamento, non sa cosa si farà di lui, ma a giudicare dall'allenamento che gli viene imposto sarà probabilmente una grande lotta davanti a tutta Roma.

Milioni di persone in corteo in varie città del paese. E poi gli appelli degli studenti, la disobbedienza dei giornalisti e le dimissioni di un generale. Negli Stati Uniti c’è un risveglio in difesa della democrazia, scrive Pierre Haski.

Il 2 novembre il Memorandum Italia-Libia sulla gestione delle migrazioni si rinnoverà automaticamente. Un’ampia coalizione della società civile, guidata da Refugees in Libya, ha lanciato una campagna per impedirlo

Se l’Italia non notificherà la sua intenzione di non rinnovare il Memorandum con la Libia entro il 2 novembre, l’accordo si rinnoverà per altri 3 anni.
Rinnovare un accordo significa accettarlo.
Farlo significherebbe rendere l’Italia complice delle atrocità che vengono commesse in Libia.

Centinaia di medici, infermieri su una barca piena di medicine. E poi otto barche a vela.
Ancora una volta Israele sequestra persone e aiuti in alto mare.
Looking down at Megan on the floor you can hear the sigh slowly escape her lips. She is tied in shibari. Her arms are pulled tightly into a self hug and rope is tightly squeezing her breast. Her leg is suspended from the ankle. If you could walk around behind her the view of her exposed would be delicious.
Her legs are now tied together and you can see her from behind. Her arms are still tied in a hug but now her hair is tied into a rope that runs tightly through her crotch. It looks restrictive in all the right ways.
Giggles, squeezes, and some lovely restriction with Megan (hotspringzbabe406 ig) during my stay in Missoula 👹

Dunque.
In 10 anni (dieci anni) le Alpi Svizzere hanno preso non 1/10, non 1/8, non 1/6, ma UN QUARTO del loro volume.
Nell'estate del 2022 il 6%, in quella del 2023 il 4%, nel 2024 il 2.5% e nel 2025 il 3%.
Forse non ci rendiamo conto di cosa accade...1/4
