STRONG INDONESIA EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES BUILDINGS, HURTS SOME
A strong, shallow earthquake rocked Indonesia's central Sulawesi province Monday
evening, injuring at least three people and damaging some buildings and houses. The U.S.
Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.8 quake was centered in a thinly populated area 79
kilometers (49 miles) southeast of the provincial capital, Palu, at a depth of 9.1 kilometers (6
miles).
The National Disaster Management Agency said buildings were damaged in Poso, a
city to the southeast of the epicenter, and a number of houses and churches were damaged in
nearby villages. At least three villagers were hospitalized for head wounds, it said. The
agency posted photos of damage in Poso on Twitter. One showed a collapsed building and
another showed a convenience store with goods strewn on its floor but otherwise intact.
Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency recorded 14
aftershocks of up to magnitude-5.2, also at a shallow depth. Shallow earthquakes tend to
cause more damage on the Earth's surface. It said the land-based quake didn't have any
potential to cause a tsunami.
Indonesia is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location along the
Pacific "Ring of Fire". A powerful Indian Ocean quake and tsunami in 2004 killed a total of
230,000 people in a dozen countries, most of them in Indonesia.

STRONG INDONESIA EARTHQUAKE DAMAGES BUILDINGS, HURTS SOME
A strong, shallow earthquake rocked Indonesia's central Sulawesi province Monday
evening, injuring at least three people and damaging some buildings and houses. The U.S.
Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.8 quake was centered in a thinly populated area 79
kilometers (49 miles) southeast of the provincial capital, Palu, at a depth of 9.1 kilometers (6
miles).
The National Disaster Management Agency said buildings were damaged in Poso, a
city to the southeast of the epicenter, and a number of houses and churches were damaged in
nearby villages. At least three villagers were hospitalized for head wounds, it said. The
agency posted photos of damage in Poso on Twitter. One showed a collapsed building and
another showed a convenience store with goods strewn on its floor but otherwise intact.
Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency recorded 14
aftershocks of up to magnitude-5.2, also at a shallow depth. Shallow earthquakes tend to
cause more damage on the Earth's surface. It said the land-based quake didn't have any
potential to cause a tsunami.
Indonesia is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to its location along the
Pacific "Ring of Fire". A powerful Indian Ocean quake and tsunami in 2004 killed a total of
230,000 people in a dozen countries, most of them in Indonesia.

Which Would Make You Happier?
If you won the lottery, what would you do with the money? Would you buy a big
house, a yacht perhaps, or a fast, expensive sports car? We all dream of buying these
things, but would they make us happier?
“No, they wouldn’t”, says Rupert Sweeney. He works for a large bank and has
studied the psychology of money. “If you bought a new sports car, you could show it off
to your colleagues. Then after a while, it wouldn’t be new and interesting. It would
become normal. So, then, what would you do? You’d want a faster car or a more
expensive one. So, in the end, your nice sports car would make you unhappy, because
you’d always want something better.”
Material things like cars, watches, houses and clothes only make you happy for a
while. We’re all a lot richer than we were in the 1950s, but we aren’t happier. The things
that will really make you happy are :
 Doing things that you enjoy and
 Spending time with people who you love
If you won a lot of money, what should you spend it on then? “Experiences”, says
Rupert Sweeney. “Learn something new like water skiing. Do something that you’ve
always wanted to do. Eat at a five-star restaurant. Visit places that you’ve never been to.
Every experience is special and experiences get better with time because we forget the
bad things in life. And if you share the experiences with your family and friends, you’ll
enjoy them again and again with photos, videos and memories”.
So, if that big cheque ever arrives, forget the fast car and the designer clothes.
Book those skydiving lessons for yourself and your friends.
If you won the lottery, ..... (line 1)

New airport to cater to more travelers in Yogyakarta

The government expects a new international airport in Yogyakarta, once completed,

will improve the satisfaction of travelers flying to and from the region, a popular
destination for both domestic and international tourists.

The new airport, which is being built in Kulon Progo regency, is expected to
accommodate 50 million passengers annually. It will replace Adisutjipto International
Airport, which currently serves a number of travelers far beyond its designated
capacity.

“The previous airport’s capacity can no longer contain the passenger traffic and the
aircraft movement. There is also a limit to the area expansion [for the airport],” Budi
said on Friday during a ceremony to break ground on the new airport, which was also
attended by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

Budi mentioned that last year alone, passenger traffic at Adisutjipto reached 7.2
million people, while the airport’s terminals were only built to handle 2.1 million
passengers. The apron could also only cater to nine aircraft.

In the first phase, state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura I will build a 3,250
meter x 60 meter runway in the location. In the second phase, the length of the runway
will be extended by 350 meters.

The construction of the first phase is targeted to be finished by March 2019.

“The new airport will also serve long-haul flights, with the furthest to Jeddah,” Budi
said.

Land procurement for the airport, meanwhile, has reached 91 percent, the ministry
reported. (hwa)

“Despite a backdrop of economic and socio-political uncertainties, we maintain a positive
outlook for the year ahead,” said Changi Airport Group CEO Lee Seow Hiang.
“We see opportunities in emerging markets within Africa and Eastern Europe.
“At the same time, we will continue to grow our long haul routes to Western Europe, and
strengthen our connectivity within the region to secondary cities in South East Asia, China
and India.”
Changi Airport is the world's sixth busiest for international traffic, based on 2015 figures, and
is expected to open its fourth terminal later this year.
