 with little other than automobile convenience has resulted in the fractured fabrics of cities as different as Cairo, Cape Town, Seattle and Shanghai (though not much yet, thank goodness, in the ancient cities of Europe). Even when the road engineers have been caused to try to make a semblance of urbanity, as they have in places like Moscow and Peking, their contributions are just as divisive of traditional urban texture, but are decorated by floral central traffic reservations and kitsch balustrades.
If motorways carve apart the body of the city, car parks form a deadening rash over much that remains--atrophied and often expanding areas in which selfishness, litter and crime rule. Public urban space tends toward this condition of auto-desert, populated by the poor and dispossessed. Private space is increasingly defined by walls, armed guards and electronic surveillance. Here, power and money reside, girdled by steel and armed guards.
The ethos of such special areas is spreading. Increasingly, types of space that were traditionally parts of the public realm--markets, streets, squares, places of congregation and worship--are becoming private territories, ruled arbitrarily by private corporations with their own rules which, while not absolutely in contradiction to common law, erode individual freedom and enforce the rule of mediocrity.
Such enclaves, set in a septic sea of civil engineering, are intended to provide the sense of place, of settled values and safety that is psychologically necessary for all of us. They work very well (in a way) for the reasonably well off, but they have nothing to offer to society as a whole: they are places of exclusion rather than inclusion; they seem to be safe in a world of increasing uncertainty and threatening squalor. More and more, the world seems to be tending towards the futures anticipated at the beginning of last century by writers like H.G. Wells and E.M. Forster (2) who suggested that the well off would live in places cosseted and protected by technology against nature, and against the horrifying working classes who turn into a separate, savage and violent race, waiting always for the collapse of the protective machines. Which happens with dire results.
Wells and Forster were of course reflecting on the chasmic class divisions of the society of Edwardian London, then the richest in the world. But today, the collapse of civil society (and the civic fabric) into adversely opposed factions seems almost as immanent in most developed countries. Bladerunner is just over the horizon.
Architecture has to lead by example. Our profession is one of the few capable of imagining better physical futures for humanity. Too often, we become dull servants of big business or big bureaucracy. Too often, the most famous members of the profession become preoccupied by their own personalities, generating flashy images and huckstering iconic trademarks. Too often, architects lack understanding of the liberating opportunities offered by technology, and tend to choose its restrictive potential.
Architecture is not, nor ever has been, an autonomous art, as some claim. It is generated by the human need for shelter, for places in which we can engage with others and for places of celebration. The best architects, from the people who made Stonehenge to the most sensitive designers today, have always understood that we can call down divine fire, focus community, make a place for home.
The responsibility of helping to make the world generously appropriate for civilized human conduct is awesome, but it is, I suspect, the reason that drove almost all of us to become architects. It is up to us to rediscover (and in many ways reinvent) the particularness of the world and humanity's relationships to it: to help give everyone in society a physical sense of place, to find a locus for every individual in relation to the world. Aldo van Eyck urged many years ago that we must make places, not spaces. He was right.

Understanding architectural consequences.I like Etemon because he’s the embodiment of „Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass“, he’s way more competent and threatening than Devimon, but Etemon was really, really unlucky all the time. 

His singing attack is goofy, but it de-evolves the Partner Digimon, which is a huge advantage. And of course, he’s physically stronger than any of the Adult level Partners.

Vamdemon was menacing, but he couldn’t operate under the sun, and most of Server was covered by a huge desert, which showed why Etemon was the one in control of Server.

MetalEtemon was also the one to kickstart the Leomon curse.It is important to proceed through the installation process in the following order:

I'm not a huge fan of reggae or dub (though i really like a few people) but i really love Johnny Clarke. One of the best vocalists, regardless of genre, Clarke's voice is so smooth and powerful making every song a call to action.
The Two tracks I'm posting are two of his very best. The first is a cover of "Declaration of Rights" oringally done by he Abyssinians, whose verison is sadder and less a call to arms as Clarke's. The production by Bunny Lee is very solid and features one of the best session bands around. The Second Track is "Enter His Gates With Praise" another Lee produced, was the first reggae song i heard that really made me jump to hit repeat on my cd player and listen to about eight times in a row.

There's nothing like public service announcements "with guitar", or in this case, with a reggae beat. We must continue to "Rock the Vote." Kerry-Edwards definitely rocks more than Bush-Cheney. Know your rights.Undoubtedly, a major reason why international investors are drawn to Jersey is because of its low taxation. However, there is more to Jersey than just low taxes, and as this feature shows, it is Jersey's expertise in specialist wealth management and financing techniques, its favorable regulatory regime, good international reputation, and high quality financial infrastructure that are drawing investors to the island.
Jersey is situated off the north-west coast of France in the English Channel. It is the largest and most southerly of the Channel Islands with an approximate area of 45 sq miles. The resident population in July, 2016 was an estimated 98,000. English and French are both official languages and used widely.
As a British Crown dependency, the United Kingdom is responsible for defense and external relations, but by long established constitutional convention Jersey is self-governing in matters of domestic policy.
The island has its own legislative assembly, the States of Jersey, and a comprehensive independent legal, fiscal and administrative system. Apart from the few senior offices in the gift of the Crown, most executive powers are administered by committees of the States. This provides for direct, effective administration, but may be short on checks and balances. However, over many years the States has aimed at creating a well-regulated, efficient financial center with up-to-date legal, judicial and regulatory frameworks. Broadly, it seems to have succeeded.
Jersey is not a member of the European Union, and Protocol No 3 of the UK's Treaty of Accession to the UK excludes the island from most of the effects of the Treaty, other than those concerning trade in goods. The island does though apply the external common customs tariff of the EU, but, EU (and hence UK) VAT does not apply to Jersey (although the island recently introduced its own goods and services tax, which is currently set at five percent).
Jersey's constitutional position in relation to the EU cannot be changed without unanimous agreement of the member states, including of course the UK. However, this issue is especially pertinent as things stand, given the uncertainty surrounding the UK's future relationship with the EU following the 2016 membership referendum, and the 2017 general election. However, Jersey remains confident that it will remain a leading
