Trash's Problem

Currently trash has become a big problem for life in society. Many people underestimate this problem but this problem can lead to disease everywhere. 


On my blog today I will explain a few things about my suggestion for everyone.

Trashes management is one of the required processes with the aim of converting waste into material that has economic value or process waste materials are not to be harmful to the environment.

There are three systems of Trashes management, in particular by: 

a. In combustion chemistry through this system, please note that in the arson is not done in vain,    because the trash can consist of a variety of materials that are not necessarily safe.


b. Biological way, through the process of composing a natural decay process of organic matter, such as leaves, agricultural wastes (crop residues), food waste and others. The decomposition produces nutrient-rich material.

c. Recycling (reuse) Recycling alone is not easy, because sometimes it takes technology and special handling. But it can be done in a simple way,  Start of our own, example: 
1. Collecting old papers, magazines, and newspapers for recycling.  
2. Collect the remains of cans or glass bottles to be recycled.  
3. Using a variety of paper products and other recycled goods.

 
How to control trash the most simple is to raise awareness of the self to not damage the environment with trash. Other tasks include social and cultural controls to better appreciate the environment, although sometimes must be exposed to certain myths. Strict rules of the government is also expected because if not then the destroyers of the environment will continue to damage the resource. The existence of the Law of waste is considered very necessary. This Law shall regulate the rights, duties, powers, and functions of each party penalties. Act will also set the institutional matter involved in waste management. According to him, the concept of waste management may not work well in the field if the infrastructure is not supported by the existing departments in the government. Similarly, human resource development (HRD). Changing the culture of trash matter is not easy. Without a transformation of knowledge, understanding, strong campaign. This can not be done by the Head of Department level officials as occurs now. It must involve Forums, the department of religion, and possibly Depkominfo. In some countries, like the Philippines, Canada, United States, and Singapore are experiencing similar problems with Indonesia, at least 14 departments directly involved under the coordination of the president or prime minister.

Clever kids:

A police officer found a perfect hiding place for watching for speeding motorists.
One day, the officer was amazed when everyone was under the speed limit, so he investigated and found the problem.
A 10 years old boy was standing on the side of the road with a huge hand painted sign which said “Radar Trap Ahead.”
A little more investigative work led the officer to the boy’s accomplice: another boy about 100 yards beyond the radar trap with a sign reading “TIPS” and a bucket at his feet full of change.

The Hours and Pay of Stuntman

Life on a film set for a stuntman isn't especially glamorous. The days are long, sometimes lasting 14 hours or more. A shoot can often take place in uncomfortable situations -- they might spend hours partially submerged in water or have to do a location shoot on an icy mountain or a hot desert. Pay for a stuntman can vary widely based on their experience and the specific stunt they'll be performing on a given film. Only a very few top tier stunt people make six figure annual incomes.
The reason for the long hours is that a stunt requires planning, preparation, rehearsal and probably several retakes. It takes hours just to set up the pyrotechnic charges for a scene with explosions. Most stunts involving cars will require measurements and the setting up of ramps and crash barriers. All stunts should be rehearsed as closely as possible to the actual stunt, without any of the risk factors. For example, a car chase could be run through at low speed or a sword fight practiced with plastic swords. Once the actual stunt is filmed, it should be very predictable for everyone involved.
Some stunts may need to be filmed multiple times to catch additional camera angles or because something wasn't quite right the first time through. However, with many stunts, it isn't practical to re-shoot the scene. If the chase culminates with an explosion and a car crash, it becomes prohibitively expensive to destroy multiple cars for the sake of capturing the perfect shot. Plus, every time you ask a stunt person to repeat a stunt, the risk factor multiplies. This is another reason that a huge amount of planning and rehearsal goes into stunts -- the crew has to make sure the shot is captured right the first time to avoid costly and dangerous second takes.

Interviews Greg Tracy the Stuntman

So You Want My Job: Stuntman

Greg Tracy on the set of The Bourne Ultimatum.

It’s your typical summertime blockbuster film. The thieves sprint from the bank to an awaiting getaway car which takes off with the police in hot pursuit. It’s a high-speed game of cat and mouse as the cars zoom through the city streets, dramatically weaving, turning, and leaving explosions in their wake. The camera shows a close-up of the movie’s star at the wheel, but when they zoom out we all know it’s not really him at the controls: it’s a stuntman.

Studios typically don’t like to risk their investment in their actors’ million-dollar smiles, so when it’s time to leap from burning buildings, have a slug-fest, jump from a window, or soar over a bridge on a motorcycle, they bring in the trained professionals. Stuntmen star in some of the coolest, most exciting, and most dangerous parts of movies. Which has always made this profession certifiably badass.

Greg Tracy has been doing this manly job for almost two decades now. He’s been a stunt driver in over 400 commercials as well as big films like the Bourne Ultimatum, GI Joe, the Fast and the Furious 3, Spiderman 3, and the Dukes of Hazzard. In his “downtime” he races for Ducati and is the five time Pikes Peak Champion. You can see him in action, winning the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in this short film on YouTube, 156 Turns

We appreciate Greg giving us some insight into this intriguing profession. You can learn more about Greg at his website, My Life at Speed.

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Greg Tracy. I was born and raised in and around Southern California. I am 42 years old, and I make my living as a stuntman.

2. Why did you want to become a stuntman? When did you know it was what you wanted to do?

I was lucky enough to be born the son of Pat and Terry Tracy. My father Terry was a contractor who raced motorcycles as a hobby. He had been a waterski racer as a kid and had even made a couple of attempts at the World Speed Skiing Record. Unfortunately, he crashed during one attempt, actually breaking the record, but he was crashing as he passed the line making it not official. I think he was going around 130mph when he crashed.

For me it was all about motorcycles from the time I was a baby. I started riding a little 50cc Indian when I turned 3 years old. When I was 13 I pushed my Dad to let my younger brother Gary and I start racing motocross. I actually crashed and broke my ankle in my first race, but I was in the lead at the time and I was hooked! I turned professional at the age of 16, racing in a few National Championship races as well as Supercross. When I turned 18 I was racing in the Anaheim Stadium Supercross, and I crashed, breaking my back and neck for the second time in my racing career. At this point I had burned out and decided I wanted to pursue college and start go-kart racing. While getting a degree in history from CSUF I traveled the country and world with my family, racing the National Championships and South American Championships in Go-Karts. From there I moved into car racing. I ran mostly Open Wheel cars, becoming the USAC Rookie of the year. I won a lot of races, including the “Night Before the 500″ in Indianapolis. My goal was to eventually race Indy Cars, but an accident in 1993 where I broke my cheeks, nose, wrist, and bruised my brain slowed me down for a few months. While I was healing up, my roommate Mouse McCoy was working in the film business, and he introduced me to people that were in the industry. The film business and the stunt world were becoming more specialized, and my car racing background got my foot in the door. I was still pursuing racing, but I was getting called on more and more film and commercial jobs. I am not sure exactly when I made the switch as a career, it just sort of happened. I had a little boy named Lane or Fast Lane as I called him in 1997, and the idea of making a living that was consistent sounded pretty good.

For me personally my race car and motorcycle background gave me something that other stunt guys did not have at the time. It really gave me a head start at the time for getting into the car-related action films that were starting to become more popular. Driven, the Stallone film, was kind of my first big break movie wise. The stunt driving in that movie was done by a few of the biggest stunt drivers in the business, guys like Steve Kelso and Andy Gill. The Second Unit Director Spiro Razatos and I became friends, and I have been very lucky to work with him again on some of his other films including Talladega Nights and Death Race.

3. A stuntman needs a set of pretty unusual skills. Are there schools for learning those skills or do you learn via an apprenticeship? If it’s the latter, how do you go about finding someone who will teach you the trade?

As far as schools go, there are a few out there. For car stunts the best one is probably Rick Seamans school. I grew up riding, racing, and crashing stuff, so for me my real learning came under the wings of guys like Spiro, Steve, and Andy. I would have to say that once a person has committed to this as a career, specialized schools are a good place to start but ultimately a person needs to find someone who will take him under their wings and give them a hand at learning the ins and outs of a very different business. So often I find that it is a very family-oriented business. Stuntmen and women are usually the sons and daughters or even the grandsons and granddaughters of stuntmen and women.

4. Do you recommend concentrating on one kind of skill like fighting or driving or becoming adept at as many skills as possible?

I do think that having a very specialized skill is a great way to get the ball rolling; whether it is martial arts, gymnastics, or car racing, a person has to have some ability that is not that common. The next step is tracking down someone that is willing to help teach you the ins and outs of the business. I think that it is probably one of the hardest businesses to break into, but that being said, I have seen many people break in and move right to the top.

5. What separates a stuntman who is able to make a successful career for himself from the many who attempt and fail?

One thing about being in this line of work is you better be tough. Not just from a standpoint of being able to take getting injured but also taking rejection and people telling you it will not work or you’re not going to make it. Life is filled with people who will tell you “that it is impossible,”  but that is what makes me push forward.

Inner strength and commitment to your dreams is what will get you through the hard times.

6. What is the best part of your job?

The best part of my job is that it is different every day. I get to do what I love, go fast, slide, crash, and generally be a big kid every day. The travel part is awesome too. I spent 8 weeks in Prague, a couple of months in Montreal, New York City, Chicago; you name it and I have probably worked there.

7. What is the worst part of your job?

The travel part of of this industry is also the difficult part. I have a wife and three kids. I do not like being away from them. I have been able to provide a great life for my family but being apart at times can be very tough.

8. What is the biggest misconception people have about your job?

I will say that one of the biggest misconceptions about my job is that I must be crazy or a big risk taker. I was never the guy at a high school party that climbed the roof and jumped into the pool. If I was going to do that I would have to check the distance, see how deep the pool was, and make a calculated guess as to how far I would be able to jump. My business has a lot more to do with risk management. The whole point is to make it to the next day. Be there to make the big shot. Get it done, and move on. Getting hurt means not making money so the guy who thinks that it’s all about just going for it and being crazy is not someone who will last very long. You are also counting on the guys around you to be very level-headed. Often your life is in the hands of your fellow stuntmen, and you want the best guys in those seats.

9. Any other advice, tips, or anecdotes you’d like to share?

My advice is get the training, do not give up, enjoy the road you choose, and understand that if you choose not to take risks in life you’re not living!

Best of luck!

Greg Tracy

The Tortoise and The Hare

Orientation{

Once upon a time there was a hare who, boasting how he could run faster than anyone else, was forever teasing tortoise for its slowness. Then one day, the irate tortoise answered back: “Who do you think you are? There’s no denying you’re swift, but even you can be beaten!” The hare squealed with laughter.

Complication{

“Beaten in a race? By whom? Not you, surely! I bet there’s nobody in the world that can win against me, I’m so speedy. Now, why don’t you try?”

Resolution{

Annoyed by such bragging, the tortoise accepted the challenge. A course was planned, and the next day at dawn they stood at the starting line. The hare yawned sleepily as the meek tortoise trudged slowly off. When the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was, he decided, half asleep on his feet, to have a quick nap. “Take your time!” he said. “I’ll have forty winks and catch up with you in a minute.”

Resolution{

The hare woke with a start from a fitful sleep and gazed round, looking for the tortoise. But the creature was only a short distance away, having barely covered a third of the course. Breathing a sigh of relief, the hare decided he might as well have breakfast too, and off he went to munch some cabbages he had noticed in a nearby field. But the heavy meal and the hot sun made his eyelids droop. With a careless glance at the tortoise, now halfway along the course, he decided to have another snooze before flashing past the winning post. And smiling at the thought of the look on the tortoise’s face when it saw the hare speed by, he fell fast asleep and was soon snoring happily. The sun started to sink, below the horizon, and the tortoise, who had been plodding towards the winning post since morning, was scarcely a yard from the finish. At that very point, the hare woke with a jolt. He could see the tortoise a speck in the distance and away he dashed. He leapt and bounded at a great rate, his tongue lolling, and gasping for breath. Just a little more and he’d be first at the finish. But the hare’s last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him.

Re-Orientation{

“Slowly does it every time!” he said.

Feeling beated, the hare run away and cried.
