アメリカがついに美しい空港を建設 (America Has Finally Built a Beautiful Airport)
- What it's supported on is Y columns, so the columns come up and on the top of each Y is a base isolator, it's a friction pendulum isolator, and so that has been engineered to take the mass at each location, and so at the edges you might have a different size friction pendulum, in the middle you have another size, and those move and it's calculated that the amount of friction force that is taken at each location allows it to move exactly how much it needs to move, and the friction part is what holds it into place.

子供たちが外に出なくなった理由 (Why Kids Never Go Outside Anymore)
- As they grow up, they're bombarded with the fact that their lives probably won't be as good as their parents. They probably won't be able to afford a house. They will have a much harder time building a family or even finding people to connect with. The social contract that previous generations bought into has disappeared. It's easy to treat the mental health problems that we see today as their own isolated issue, but in many ways, they're the natural response to what kids are facing. At this point, it might feel a little bit hopeless, but the light at the end of the tunnel is that we're all catching on to these mistakes. We're slowly realising that you don't need to make your kids terrified of strangers. It took decades for people to finally question that absurd narrative. People are waking up to the dangers of social media, the lack of free play in kids, and how addictive and destructive it is to keep kids isolated in a safe little box in their room, staring at a screen endlessly for hours every single day. I mean, how many young people today, how many of your friends that you know, would actually let their children become heavy technology users? Even with cars, despite how embedded they've become, the pendulum is slowly swinging the other way. Young people who've travelled and experienced life in cities that aren't dominated by them know the difference that it can make. We're not going to instantly solve the many challenges that young people face because of the mistakes of the past, but before too long, the generation that grew up with these problems and actually understands them will be in the driving seat, and hopefully, by some miracle, they'll be able to actually fix them and know the value of making their kids' lives better than their own.
成長するにつれて、彼らは両親のような良い生活は送れないだろうという事実を突きつけられる。家を買う余裕もないだろう。家庭を築くのも、心を通わせる人を見つけるのも、ずっと難しくなる。前の世代が信じていた社会契約は消滅してしまったのだ。今日見られるメンタルヘルスの問題を、それ自体単独の問題として扱うのは簡単だが、多くの点で、子供たちが直面している問題に対する自然な反応なのだ。現時点では、少し絶望的に感じるかもしれないが、トンネルの先の光は、私たち全員がこうした過ちに気づきつつあるということだ。子供たちを見知らぬ

- Now because I'm in this lower position you will notice that I do have to kind of break at the waist and bend over at the waist somewhat but even with holding that position I am still able to maintain my line because I just rock my whole sort of unit like a pendulum over the top of the board to help me make the edge change.
