Simple Explanation of Glass Making

If we see the picture that explains the making of glass, we can say it looks like easy to make a glass. The picture, of course, is simplified. The real proccess maybe more complicated than we see in the picture, but I'm going to highlighted the main proccess of making a glass. First, raw materials like sand, soda, and limestone are put in a furnace. The ingredient then divided into two ways, one for make a plate glass and the other for make a bottle glass. The ingredient for make a plate glass is placed in a large tray. Next, it's moved to a rollers which make the ingredient become a plate glass. The same thing is occured in the way to make a bottle glass. Instead of rollers, a removable mould is used to shape the glass into bottle. Air also contribute by get through on the removable mould.

How to Make Glass

Glass plays many roles in the ever changing human civilization. But the process of making glass is actually the same like the process was in the early 19th century. Firstly, the ingredients of glass like sand, soda and limestone are put in a furnace. Then from now on the process, based on the shape of the glass, is divided into two types: plate glass and bottle glass. In the plate glass process, the ingredients from the furnace are moved by a conveyor belt through rollers which finally will shape those ingredients into plate glass. In the bottle glass process, after the furnace, the ingredients then put into a removable mould which let the air comes in, and then it will shape the glass like bottles we see on the shops. Finally those glass are ready to be sold. Those are the steps to make glass that we use in everyday life.

Batam Island, The City of Industry and Tourism

Batam, a city that is located near Singapore, is one of the biggest industrial city in Indonesia. Batam has various big industries like electronics, mechanics, steel, petroleum, etc. Companies and manufacturers are also from many countries. Most of the products of the industries are exported, but some of them are sold in Indonesia. Industries in Batam are important assets in adding income of our country.

Batam not only proud of its industries, but also its tourism. Many interesting places in Batam that attract visitors not only local but also foreign tourists. Barelang, which is abbreviation of Batam-Rempang-Galang, is a row of islands that are jointed by bridges. The first bridge, which is the biggest among the others and the best in its architecture, connects Batam Island and Rempang Island. Some people said that the first bridge is the miniature of San Francisco’s “Golden Gate” bridge due to its architecture. In Galang Island, visitors always come to Camp of Vietnam, a place where refugees from Vietnam had ever been there during the war last days. Beside Barelang, Batam has many beautiful beaches. Batam also has many fine places to relax our mind in the evening. Sitting on a bench in Marina while looking beautiful sunset or listening to the sound of the sea waves and order various menus of seafood in Harbor Bay while the lights of ships in port give a romantic nuance is nice choice. Batam also can be proud of its Coastarina, which has big letters as big as Hollywood’s.

The government of Batam has arranged the objectives of Batam City well. The main objective is making Batam the “copy” of Singapore. Since Batam got the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status on 2007, that makes Batam has the special authority to makes economic relation to the other countries directly, the government works hard to attracts investor as much as possible. Beside that, the government gives strong regulation in order to improve Batam’s security. The government also works hard to fixes the problem in environment. People hope that Batam can be the modern, developed, and clean city as Singapore does without leaves its nature and the cultures of Indonesia behind.

Cinematography

The process of producing the illusion of a moving picture. Cinematography includes two phases: the taking of the picture with a camera and the showing of the picture with a projector. The camera captures the action by taking a series of still pictures at regular intervals; the projector flashes these pictures on a screen at the same frequency, thus producing an image on the screen that appears to move. This illusion is possible only because of the persistence of vision of the human eye. The still pictures appear on the screen many times a second, and although the screen is dark equally as long as it is lighted by the projected image, they do not seem to be a series of pictures but appear to the viewer to be one continuous picture.
