This natural phenomenon is also known as a temblor. It is the shaking of the Earth’s surface
caused by rapid movement of the Earth’s rocky outer layer. The phenomena occur when
energy stored within the Earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This
energy is transmitted to the surface of the Earth by quake waves.
The destruction caused by this disaster depends on its magnitude and duration, or the
amount of shaking that occurs. A structure’s design and the materials used in its construction
also affect the amount of damage the structure incurs. Such disasters can deform the ground,
make buildings and other structures collapse, and create tsunamis. Lives may be lost in the
resulting destruction.

With a history of about 2,700 years, some of the Great Wall sections are now in ruins or
have disappeared. However, the Great Wall of China is still one of the most appealing
attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.
The Great Wall of China is the longest man-made structure in the world. Traversing northern
part of the country, what was a huge military line of defense in the past has now become a
unique world heritage site and a symbol of China. With a total length of 21,196.18 km
(13,170.70 miles), equal to half the length of the Equator, the Great Wall of China is the longest
feat of human engineering. The average height of the walls is 6 to 7 meters (20 to 23 feet), and
the highest is 14 meters (46 feet). The average width is 6.5 meters (21.3 feet).
Having a wonderful Great Wall tour is a must for one’s China trip. Along this super long wall,
Beijing ranks the top destination for its proper maintenance of the abundant wall relics of the
Ming Dynasty. Badaling and Mutianyu are best sections to see neat and complete walls and
beacon towers; while Jinshanling and Simatai offer challenging Great Wall hiking routes with

Ragunan head Dina Himawati has particularly objected to a point that requires the zoo to
deposit Rp 20 billion (US$1.49 million) to Bank DKI for the implementation of the system.
"We have no idea how the plan works. The money is deposited to the bank, in our account. We
feel like the Rp 20 billion is used for the operation of the card, including for top-up funds," Dina
said at the City Council building in Central Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com.
Dina said the money was needed by the zoo, particularly in an emergency when the city
administration suffered a deficit. She added that a change in regulation may be needed.
"Cooperation is meant to benefit both sides. There are many things to be evaluated," she said.
Two types of JakOne cards are offered to visitors. The first one displays Ragunan's animals
and is priced at Rp 30,000, containing Rp 20,000 credit balance. The second one displays
animation, and is priced at Rp 60,000 with Rp 50,000 credit balance.
The City Council’s Commission C chairman, Santoso, said the agreement only benefited Bank
DKI.

Ragunan head Dina Himawati has particularly objected to a point that requires the zoo to
deposit Rp 20 billion (US$1.49 million) to Bank DKI for the implementation of the system.
"We have no idea how the plan works. The money is deposited to the bank, in our account. We
feel like the Rp 20 billion is used for the operation of the card, including for top-up funds," Dina
said at the City Council building in Central Jakarta as quoted by kompas.com.
Dina said the money was needed by the zoo, particularly in an emergency when the city
administration suffered a deficit. She added that a change in regulation may be needed.
"Cooperation is meant to benefit both sides. There are many things to be evaluated," she said.
Two types of JakOne cards are offered to visitors. The first one displays Ragunan's animals
and is priced at Rp 30,000, containing Rp 20,000 credit balance. The second one displays
animation, and is priced at Rp 60,000 with Rp 50,000 credit balance.
The City Council’s Commission C chairman, Santoso, said the agreement only benefited Bank
DKI.

humbling, but it was also very boring. Binge-watching all kinds of shows and movies
eventually became monotonous. That's when I started to design. After my accident, I
was in bed for most hours of the day. My pajamas and sleepwear became
uncomfortable. I noticed I didn't like the waistband on one or the fabric of another and
I began researching where I could find exactly what I was looking for. Then I realized
it didn't exist. I also started researching eco-friendly fashion. That's how my clothing
company, Raven & Crow, came to be. I never thought this would turn into a business,
but every time I explained my concept to someone new they said, 'That sounds
