Skyscrapers were invented in the United States. 摩天大楼是在美国发明的。 Two new technological developments made very tall buildings possible in the late 1800s. One development was the mechanical elevator. It meant that people would not have to climb many steps to reach the upper floors of tall buildings. It saved time and effort. 1800年代后期，两项新的技术发展使建筑物成为可能。 一个发展是机械电梯。 这意味着人们不必爬上许多步骤才能到达高层建筑的上层。 它节省了时间和精力。The second was good quality steel that could carry the heavy load of a tall structure. These two developments helped make the skyscraper possible. 第二个是高质量的钢，可以承受高大的结构的重量。 这两个发展有助于使摩天大楼成为可能。 Many experts consider the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, Illinois to be the first skyscraper. It was completed in 1885 and later increased to a height of 55 meters. Today, this would not be considered tall. But at the time, this height was striking. 许多专家认为伊利诺伊州芝加哥的家庭保险大楼是第一批摩天大楼。 它于1885年完成，后来增加到55米的高度。 今天，这不会被认为是高个子。 但是当时，这个高度令人震惊。 What was different about the Home Insurance Building was its structure. It was built using a steel frame. 房屋保险大楼的不同之处在于它的结构。 它是使用钢架建造的。 This frame carried the weight of the building rather than the walls. The method was known as “skeleton construction” at the time. Before this technology, a tall building required thick stone walls to support its weight. Thick walls are extremely heavy and take up a big area that could be used for floor space or windows. 该框架带有建筑物的重量，而不是墙壁。 该方法当时被称为“骨架构造”。 在这项技术之前，一栋高建筑物需要厚的石墙来支撑其重量。 厚的墙壁非常重，并占用可用于地板或窗户的大区域。 William Jenney was the engineer who helped build the Home Insurance Building. He understood the possibilities that steel frames could offer. Some people consider him the father of the skyscraper. 威廉·詹妮（William Jenney）是帮助建造家庭保险大楼的工程师。 他了解钢架可以提供的可能性。 有人认为他是摩天大楼的父亲。 Soon after the building was finished, builders in Chicago and New York City began copying and improving on the idea of building upwards. Builders in these cities and others would also begin competing for the title of “tallest building.” 建筑物完成后不久，芝加哥和纽约市的建筑商开始复制和改进建造的想法。 这些城市和其他人的建筑商也将开始争夺“最高建筑物”的头衔。The Empire State building in New York City was completed in 1931. It was the tallest building in the world for more than 40 years. It is still one of the most popular. Millions of visitors have seen New York from observation areas in this building. 纽约市的帝国大厦于1931年完成。这是40多年来世界上最高的建筑。 它仍然是最受欢迎的之一。 数以百万计的游客从这座建筑物的观察区看到了纽约。 Chicago became home to the world's tallest building in 1973 when the Sears Tower was completed. It is 442 meters tall. The Sears Tower, which is now called Willis Tower, was the tallest building in the world for 23 years. Then, in 1996, two taller buildings were completed. They are the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They are about 452 meters tall. 1973年，西尔斯大厦（Sears Tower）完成时，芝加哥成为了世界上最高建筑物的所在地。 它高442米。 西尔斯塔（Sears Tower）现在称为威利斯塔（Willis Tower），是世界上23年来最高的建筑。 然后，在1996年，建造了两座更高的建筑物。 他们是马来西亚吉隆坡的石油塔。 他们高约452米。The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago that studies tall buildings and their place in the design of cities. CTBUH supports tall buildings as a way to create more sustainable cities to live in. The group publishes a list of the world's tallest buildings. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai is considered the tallest building at 828 meters. 高层建筑和城市栖息地理事会（CTBUH）是一个位于芝加哥的非营利组织，研究高建筑物及其在城市设计中的地位。 CTBUH支持高大的建筑物，以创建更可持续的城市来居住。该集团发布了世界上最高的建筑物的清单。 如今，迪拜的Burj Khalifa被认为是828米的最高建筑物。 The tallest building in the United States and North America is One World Trade Center in New York, which replaced the two towers of the World Trade Center destroyed in the terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001. One World Trade Center stands at 541 meters. 美国和北美最高的建筑物是纽约的一个世界贸易中心，该中心取代了2001年在恐怖袭击美国的世界贸易中心的两座塔楼。一个世界贸易中心位于541米处。

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount my solo adventure to Kuala Lumpur after parting ways with Philipp. The journey begins with a hectic AirAsia flight from Manila, reminding me of the serene joys of train travel. Upon arriving in Kuala Lumpur, I reconnect with friends Misha and Verena, who I met on a train to Mongolia. We stay in a budget hostel, explore the vibrant Chow Kit wet market, and savor a memorable breakfast at The Red Bean Bag. The day unfolds with sightseeing, culminating in a daring taste test of the infamous durian fruit, which leaves us both intrigued and repelled. The narrative shifts to a lively night out, filled with billiards, beers, and spontaneous club-hopping, ending with an unexpected stay at a nearby hotel. The next day, I rest and then wander through Petaling Street Market and Jalan Alor, soaking in the local atmosphere. My journey continues with a bus ride to Mersing and a ferry to Tioman Island, where I reunite with Misha and Verena. Despite basic accommodations and scarce food supplies, we revel in the island's natural beauty, highlighted by an exhilarating jungle hike to a secluded waterfall. The trip concludes with a thrilling scooter ride and a nerve-wracking dash to catch a flight to Penang, setting the stage for future adventures in Thailand.

Hear about a Viking Ocean Bay of Bengal Cruise to 5 countries from Bangkok to Mumbai as the Amateur Traveler talks to travel writer Elsa Dixon about this East Asia sampler cruise. https://amateurtraveler.com/bay-of-bengal-cruise/ The Viking Ocean Bay of Bengal Cruise travels to 5 different countries: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and India. What Elsa loved about this cruise was experiencing diverse and exotic cultures, including music, food, temples, architecture, and ceremonies in the Bay of Bengal region. The cruise started in Bangkok, Thailand where Elsa and her travel companion did the typical city tour which included the Royal Palace, the Reclining Budha, and the Chao Phraya River. The cruise also offered more demanding walking tours, cooking classes, river cruises, and flower market tours. It also offered a full-day visit to Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On Viking, there is always at least one free shore excursion as well as some with additional costs. The cruise stopped again in Thailand on the Island of Koh Samui. The sightseeing tour visited Wat Phra Yai, the Smiling Buddha Temple. Or you can hang out on a beautiful tropical beach. In Singapore, Elsa explored different cultural neighborhoods like Little India, the Arab Quarter, and Chinatown. Her traveling companion did a walking tour that explored the Peranakan culture which is a mixture of Chinese and Malay/Indonesian cultures. In Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Elsa was able to visit the colorful Batu Caves temple complex, the National Monument, the old British Railway Station, and the twin Petronas Towers. The cruise also stopped in George Town in Malaysia where shore excursions include more temples, trishaw tours, and a visit to the Orangutan Island. In Colombo, Sri Lanka, Elsa toured the old town, the Galle Fort,  and attended a cultural evening at the Gallface Hotel where she watched the Sri Lanka dances. One of the other tours offered was a trip up to the high country to explore the tea culture. In India, the cruise stopped in both Goa and Mumbai. She enjoyed the Portuguese influences in Goa but really felt like she was in India while touring the crowded bustling city of Mumbai. In Mumbai, she toured the markets at the Gateway to India, Dhobi Ghat, the Hanging Gardens and Kamala Nehru Park, and the Mumbai residence of Mahatma Gandhi. The cruise had a number of days at sea that were filled with talks and cultural presentations about the region. Elsa continued her trip with a land tour of the "Golden Triangle" Mumbai, Jaipur, and Agra. She visited historical sites, observed local customs, and marveled at architectural wonders like the Amber Fort (Jaipur) and the Taj Mahal (Agra). If you are looking for a cruise that allows you to sample some of the countries around the Bay of Bengal, Viking River offers luxurious adventure.

Mention the name César Pelli and you can almost predict the sort of building you might see — shiny, sleek, and tall. Usually very tall. For decades, Pelli has been a byword for skyscrapers, and was even awarded a Lifetime Achievement by the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. When he died in 2019, his practice had completed over a hundred major projects, many of them dominating the skyline of the major cities of the world. And while they are hard to fault, they can sometimes be hard to love. But does that matter?

In 20 + years, Jeb Corliss has made more than 2,000 jumps, from the likes of the Eiffel Tower, Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Falls in Venezuela, the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and into a half-mile deep cave in China. He hasn't simply leapt off and pulled his parachute, though. To add an extra layer of challenge, push the bounds of his ability, and further slice the razor slim margin for error, he has performed acrobatic maneuvers – twists, somersaults, and gainers – during freefall. More recently he discovered the thrills and challenges of BASE-jumping with wingsuits, flying along some of the most stunning and dangerous mountain terrain. In the nearest approximation of human flight yet, wingsuits (which are more flying squirrel than bird or plane) allow the best pilots to trace the contours of cliffs, ridges, and mountainsides at high speed. All of which makes for an incredible spectacle: In July 2011, Corliss flew feet from the ground in the Swiss Alps, an event captured on camera and broadcast on ABC's 20/20. Two months later, in September, Corliss swooped through an arch in the side of China's iconic Tianmen Mountain, in front of a live television audience of millions. Corliss's stunts and his unyielding approach to life never fail to fascinate. He has been the subject of profiles published in The New York Times, Outside, Popular Mechanics, Smithsonian Air & Space, Men's Journal and Rolling Stone. He has been featured on television in the United States and abroad, including 60 Minutes in Australia, ESPN's E:60, Real Sports on HBO, Today, The Colbert Report, Good Morning America and Conan. Corliss has been featured in popular BASE documentaries such as A Year in the Life, Journey to the Center, Fearless, The Human Bird, Heavens Gate and The Flying Dagger to name a few. He also hosted the first season of Stunt Junkies on The Discovery Channel and was a technical advisor on the remake of Point Break. When he is not traveling the world, Corliss lives in Vista, California.

It's time to turn a new leaf, because Tim Entwisle, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens of Victoria, is taking you on a tour of the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show after it returned from a two-year pandemic pause. This includes a stroll through a garden co-designed by tennis champion and current Australian of the Year, Dylan Alcott. Then Blueprint's resident chef Annie Smithers takes Jonathan through the battle of the hot cross buns: Hot or cold? Crunchy or mushy? Chocolate or fruity? Time to rid yourself of this cross to bear. Afterward, Shannon Mattern — a social anthropologist from New York's New School for Social Research — tells us why the metaphor of the city-as-computer doesn't quite fit, and instead, we should embrace a messy city. Plus, Colin Bisset delves into the austere design language of Cesar Pelli, an architect whose skyscrapers have been likened to "the sober aesthetic of a German luxury car or a well cut suit".

On this week's pod, we welcomed Martin Murphy to talk about why schedule quality really matters. Martin Murphy has more than 31 years of experience working with multinational companies and participating in high profile international projects, such as the Petronas Towers in Malaysia and the Panama Canal extension. He is a Director with Hill International in Spain, dealing especially with industrial, manufacturing and technological projects. Since 1992, he has been working as Project Manager and in the planning and project control departments of Spanish construction and consulting companies dealing with Claims and controlling time, cost and risk elements of projects in Spain, Europe and Latin America. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows: · Projects should aim to focus as much planning work upfront as possible. This ensures you are not editing the schedule each week · Good schedules have a 3% chance of finishing on time · A good schedule is like watching a video rather than a photograph · Setting up the activity coding is more important than setting up the WBS · A properly coded schedule is critical to successful delivery. You would be surprised how many people do not use this function · Coding can really help with developing and leading the discussion on schedule metrics. · People should think of a plan as a database. It needs to be organised logically to retrieve the right information at the right time. A good planner can only manage 200 activities a month. Anything more detailed may lead to being overworked and potentially degrade the quality of the schedule · Absolute duration and float duration measurements can be misleading. Should be % of remaining duration · Quick wins for managing quality schedules: o Start-Start 0 should not exist! Laziness in planning o Review the length of lags. o Never, ever use negative lags o Should only use SS/FF to draw summary bars o Activities should have a maximum of a 2 to 3-week duration. The main themes for effective schedule quality metrics are: number of predecessor/successor activities, activities with high float (always lack of logic), coding · The concept of contingencies understood within the industry, however, clients will rarely accept having contingencies in schedule submissions · Rolling wave planning is not always the best approach. Particularly on projects with an element of repetition e.g. construction of a multi-storey building · Top tips for avoiding failure in dispute resolutions: - Need to “nurture” a schedule to maintain quality in claims disputes. Need to bring in actual performance even if it is not in the baseline. Do not be afraid to add in more detail - Do not tell lies in a schedule e.g premature completions of documents o Always present monthly/weekly reports. Even if it demonstrates poor performance. Some clients may not want to see it! - Ask if there are any claims in the weekly meetings. Knowledge is key! - Never combine more than one entity on the same activity (e.g. client and sub-contractor) - Ensure there is documentation to back up the schedule The planner should never assume ownership of the schedule. It must be owned by the project manager Resource loaded schedules can help to identify missing logic. If the histogram goes from horizontal to vertical, there is probably something missing!

Finding a good layover is very likely whenever you're flying through a centrally located home base for your airline. Today's episode covers tips and itinerary ideas for those long layovers you might have in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Bangkok in Thailand, and New York City in the United States. Short List: UAE - Burj Khalifa & the Grand Mosque, Malaysia - Batu Caves & the Petronas Towers, Thailand - Wat Pho, Wat Arun, & Thipsanai, NYC - Times Square & Rockefeller Center.

Cesar Pelli describes the process of designing the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia. The Petronas Towers, the central element of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre development, are a modern expression of Malaysia’s culture, history, and climate, and symbols of its economic growth and hopes for the future. The twin towers rise from a mixed-​use base of cultural, commercial, and public spaces set in a large park in the center of the city. Until 2004, they were the world’s tallest buildings.

更多英语知识，请关注微信公众号: VOA英语每日一听 Todd: So, you were saying you went to Laos, you went to Thailand, by any chance did you go to Malaysia?Phil: Yeah, I spent, I spent some time in Malaysia. The first stop, we went there from Singapore, just taking a bus and we ended up in Malacca. Stayed about five days in Malacca. Malacca's nice. There's a lot of history there. We learned a lot about the colonization of Malacca, the Portuguese and then the Dutch, and then the English and then the Japanese, and, yeah, it was a really interesting place. There was old St. Peter's Church. There are several Mosques. It's a good place to spend for a few days. From there we went to Kuala Lumpur. We didn't really spend much time in Kuala Lumpur. We had spent a week in Singapore and were pretty tired of cities. so we only spent I believe two or three days in Kuala Lumpur, just visits from shopping malls, the KLCC, the Petronas Towers, and yeah, that's basically what we did in KL, and then we went to the Cameron Highlands, and if you like hiking, the Cameron Highlands is a great place for you. I don't know, they might have 16, 17 different marked trails. There's a whole lot of unmarked trails. We spent a month there. I think I only went on only six hikes maybe during that month but once again we were being lazy, and yeah, if you're an avid hiker then you're certainly going to enjoy the Cameron Highlands.Todd: Yeah, actually, I did the hike in the Cameron Highland once, and foolishly I started my hike at about 4 o'clock and I thought I could make the loop of the trail at the time, and the sun started to go down, and I was in the jungle, and I was worried about getting back, and I just made it back, but I was pretty scared for a while.Phil: You were lucky. Some people don't make it back.Todd: Really?Phil: Well, Jim Thompson. Maybe you've heard of him.Todd: Yeah, actually, why don't you tell the people about Jim Thompson?Phil: Jim Thompson was a trader. I think he was maybe based in Hong Kong, but I'm not sure. Maybe it was based in Malaysia. He went hiking. I believe it was 1967, in the Cameron Highlands, and no one has seen him since. He's just vanished from the face of the earth. So, be careful if you go hiking there. Watch your step.

Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam dominate itineraries for South East Asia. Malaysia often gets left off. The last time we were in SE Asia, we didn’t even consider it, but when we were looking for a place to settle in for a week Kuala Lumpur was on the top of our list. This week is a recap of our time in Malaysia. In October we spent just over two weeks in Kuala Lumpur (KL), the Cameron Highlands, and Ipoh. We spent 10 days in KL to catch up on life, and then took a short trip to the Cameron Highlands and Ipoh, before returning and heading to Macau. Find out our favorite things in KL, if the Cameron Highlands are worth visiting, and the other top spots in Malaysia that we missed.

Gary Bembridge of Tips for Travellers shares observations, tips and advice for visitors to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.Subscribe free to the show on iTunes, Stitcher Radio or TuneIn RadioThis show covers among other topics:General Observations Capital and largest city of Malaysia - called just KL by locals. Petronas Towers is the icon and focal point making it memorable. Not a lot of attractions and must see - ones that are are spread over wide area. Big events like Formula 1 has been key to driving tourism. Modern and fast changing. Often Hazy due to pollution locally but also from effects of forest fires in Indonesia known as Sumatra haze lasting 1 to 2 weeks a time. 3 main ethic groups : Malays , Chinese and Indians - religiously diverse but most of population is Islamic (official religion ) but not strict Islamic country. HistoryFounded in 1857 when Chinese prospectors sent to find tin in the area - only 17 of the 87 survived past a month due to malaria and other tropical diseases - but lure of tin attracted people. British took control and placed  strong minded and visionary Chinese governor (Kaptain Yap Ah Loy) who ensured development. Occupied by Japanese in WWII with many Chinese tortured / executed and Indians sent to work on Burma railway building (death railroad). Post the war British ruled until independence in 1957.Best time to goPretty much anytime as always constant between 20 and 30C - no rainy season as such but gets lots of rain and flooding.Getting thereGood come connections by air and cruise ships dock in Port Kelang at Star Cruise terminal about 1,5 hour drive to KLGetting around Traffic is terrible and very congested - not very predestination friendly either. Taxis (called "teksi") - make sure they use the meters. Rapid transit system (LRT - light rapid transit) is modern, cheap and pretty easy to work out - information in English. Hop-on Hop-off bus tour - takes about 3 hours to get around - more than 22 stops - mixed views on it - go to all main areas. General tips Mandatory death sentence for drug dealing or possession. Conservative dress. Good English  as is required in schools. Only drink bottled water with seal - not tap water. Haggling in markets and in places like Chinatown is the norm. Must do things to do and and seePetronas Twin ToursWhen opened was tallest building in world until Taipei 101 took the title away -  limited tickets each day to go up (only about 1000) so book online before you go or get there very early - 41st floor sky bridge then up to 86th floorSuria KLCC Mall below has over 600 designer storesKLCC park behind it is park is impressiveKL TowerNext best alternative if cannot get up Petronas though maybe better as not only see the views but also the towers - viewing from about the same height - within the Bukit Nanos forest within the cityCentral MarketBeen going since 1888 Can get the rapid transit there from Petronas as just a few stops on red line and about 1,80 ringgits each - very easyChinatownNext to Central market - old fashioned houses, markets etcNearby is Sir Mahamariamman Temple - built 1873 - very ornate Hindu templePer Dans Botanical Garden areaBird park, butterfly park and botanical gardens for nature loversGardens has over 3000 species orchids, 5000 species of hibiscus flowers created in 1880sButterfly park 6000 butterflies and 1000 species with exotic plants to create right environmentsMerdeka Square (aka Independence Square)Used it be cricket ground in British colonial times - where Independence declared now surrounded by some key buildings - 100 metre flagpole said to be tallest in worldSultan Abdul Samad building - houses supreme and high courts St Mary's cathedralRoyal Selanger ClubNearby is Masjid Jamek - National Mosque built in 1965 and largest in SE Asia - impressive looking buildingLittle India - restaurants and shops but not as in Singapore ShoppingBukt Bitang area - popular shopping area - highest concentration of malls in the city - especially for computers and electronics.Golden triangle in KLCC around towers.Further afieldBatu caves - 9 miles north - limestone caves of varying sizes - Hindu shrine inside largest cave - over 270 steps to get to it - smaller cave has museum about Hindu mythology
