Glass Making Process

2007-10-29T23:20:00.000+07:00

There are several steps to make glass. At the beginning, sand, soda, and limestone were put together and melted in a furnace with high temperature. Then, the melted material was separated to to forming process. First, the mixture was put in a reservoir that was connected with rollers. The mixture was flow to the rollers. As the temperature decrease, the mixture was flattened. The result the process was plate glass. Second process, the mixture was put in a removable mould. When it was cooled, it became bottle-shaped-glass.

The Story of Mumble Happy Feet

2007-10-29T19:56:00.000+07:00

Hi.. my name is Mumble. But the other penguins in my neighbourhood usually call me with “Happy Feet”, Mumble Happy Feet. They call me like that because I can not sing like they do. Instead of singing, I usually “say” my feelings with moving my feet in a beat. It’s kind of “Tap Dance” that humans can do. I thought it was okay for the other penguins, I thought they can accept me the way I am. Whether I dance or sing. But I was wrong. The other penguins can not accept my dancing, they say bad things about me because I can not sing like them. That’s why, they call me Happy Feet.

Pressure Compensated Valve

2007-10-29T19:55:00.000+07:00

As shown in the diagram, fluids enter the valve from the inlet and dividen into two flows. One fluid flow goes through the center hole of Opening B and get pass to fill the center tube of the Piston A. After the fluids flows into the tube, it will be pushed and pressurize out through the outlet that positioned right after the body of Piston A. These pressure are increased by the flow that also compacting the volume of the tube as an effect of the movement of Piston A when pressed by that flow that came from the inlet and pressurize the Piston A.
The other flow of the flow hits the wall of piston A surrounding the Opening B area, this pressure of mass flow fluid will push the Piston A to the direction of Spring C. When the piston finally reach the end of its lane and touched spring C, automatically the outlet valve that is located on the side of the tube will be closed. When this outlet is closed, the fluid that enters Piston A through Opening B will be trapped and holded inside the main tube of Piston A. These processes are united in one whole cycle that would repeat itself one after another as long as the fluid flows and will stop when the fluid stops.

The Key of Making Excellent Espresso

2007-10-29T17:04:00.001+07:00

To make an excellent espresso, one has to pay attention to the key factor, which is, the pressure. To get the pressure right, a cup of water might be needed to make two solid ounces of espresso. First, pack the coffee tightly and add some water. Make sure the water is enough. Then turn the stove on. Watch closely as the espresso-in-process brews. As soon as the first ounce come out of the brewer, pull it off the stove. Then, the second ounce of espresso will come out shortly after. As the instruction before, one cup of water is enough to make only two best-in-taste ounces of espresso, so do not ever overbrew it. Just keep in mind that quality is more important tha quantity.

Steps in Making Glass

2007-10-29T16:53:00.000+07:00

Men, generally, take these steps to make glass. The first thing to be done is get the glass basic materials (consist of sand, soda, and limestone) mixed in a furnace. Then, the product gets separated into halves and both were put on different places. First half of the mixture has to be flattened using rollers. The flat half of mixture is then cooled to make it solid. The result of this first half of mixture is called a plate glass. The other half of the mixture is poured into a type of removable mould and then get blown with air so that it will take shape of a bottle. After this bottle shaped mixture is cooled and freed from mould, a bottle glass can be taken out as the product.

The glass making process

Glass is made throughout several steps. First, set up ingredients and instrument required to make glass. The main ingredients consist of soda (Na₂CO₃), sand (SiO₂), and limestone (CaO). Then, mix up all of ingredients in the furnace. After that, burn the ingredients at certain temperature. Leave the mixture in the furnace, so that all compounds have melted. The next step, the molten is divided into two processes. First process, the mixture is passed through a roller. Hence, we get a flat glass. Second process, the molten poured into removable mould and blown by air. We get then bottle glass from this process.

If we want to make glass, whether it is a plate glass or bottle glass, there are few steps that we should do. First we mix sand, soda, and limestone in a furnace. Next the mixture are being flown into two different shapping container, a bottle shaped removable mould to make bottle glass and a container with rolls after it. To make a bottle glass we pour the mixture to the removable mould. Then we blow air into the mould so that the bottle would have space inside. To make a plate glass, we pour the mixture to another container and flown the mixture through rollers. To make the mixture flat.

There are some steps to make glass. The first step is gathering the main ingredients such as silica (SiO2) which we can get in the form of sand, then soda (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaO). Second step is mixing the ingredients in a furnace. The third step is heating the furnace until the furnace reaches a temperature of approximately 1,500°C. After being molten, the molten glass can be formed into two form.
The first form is plate glass. The molten glass is poured into a melting pot, then the molten glass will flow through some rollers, so we can get the thickness we want.
The second form is bottle glass. The molten glass is poured into a removable mould. Then air is blown from a blowpipe into the mould. The molten glass will follows the shape of the removable mould and forms the bottle glass shape.
Then the plate glass or the bottle glass is cooled down until it gets it's solid form.

HOW TO MAKE GLASS

2007-10-24T21:25:00.000+07:00

Glass is made by several steps. Firstly, the compositions (sand, soda, and limestone) are mixed and melted at high temperature (about 3600 F) in the furnace. After amount of time, the mixed compositions will become liquid and it will be separated to become different kind of glass. The first one will become plate glass as it brought to the rollers. Another one will be brought into removable mould which is filled with air inside it so it will be bottle glass.

Water Pump

2007-10-23T09:02:00.000+07:00

Almost every house has water pump. The water pump pumps water from ground to water tank, which is usually located at high place.
Then the water is distributed to water pipes.
By storing water at water tank, the system has some advantage.
First, the water always stand by and ready to use even if water from the ground is dry.
Second, the pressure of the water is higher than directly from water pump. Some water usage such as shower need this kind of high pressure.

There are several common steps in making glass. First of all, prepare the basic materials. They are soda, sand, and limestone (a type of white rock, containing calcium. Second, melt them down in a furnace (an enclosed space or room for heating e.g. metal or glass to a very high temperature, OXFORD Advanced Learner’s Dictionary). This process takes time for six hours. After all the materials are melted down, this dough can be separated into two purposes, for making plate glass and bottle glass. Plate glass is made by using roller that flattens the dough. In other hand, bottle glass is made by using mould that forms the dough into bottle. Blowing air on the top of mould makes the dough formed faster. After all, the mould can be released. Those are the common steps of making glass.

Several steps are required in the production of a glass. First, the materials which include sand, soda and limestone are reduced to powder. After the coarse parts are sifted, they are heated within a furnace of high temperature for five or six days. The result of the heating process, which appear in liquid form, will be sent to two places. The first place liquid will be shaped by rollers and later be cooled to form a flat shape. This process will produce the a plate glass. The second place liquid is put in a mould and be blown by air. The liquid is then cooled and removed from the mould when it is cool enough. This process is meant to create a bottle glass. These are the basic steps for producing the two type of glasses.

There are three steps in the glass making process. First, we have to collect some materials such as sand, limestone, and soda. Then, put the materials in the furnace which have thousands celsius degree temperatures. In the furnace, those materials will be melted and mixed. After that, to make a plate glass, pour the mixture into roller pins, let the roller pins pressed it, cool it down, and get the thin flat glass. To make a bottle glass, pour the mixture into a removable mould, blow by air, cool it down, remove the mould, and get the bottle shaped glass.

There are some steps in making glass. The first step is mixing the basic materials (that is sand, soda, and limestone) in a furnace. Next step is melting the materials in a certain temperature in the furnace. The mixture from the melting process then divided based on the product that wanted to be created. To make a plate glass, the mixture is flattened using a roller. To make a bottle glass, the mixture is placed in a removable mould and then blown by air to make a bottle shape. The last step is cooling the mixture so it last appearance is a glass.

Process of Making Glass...

2007-10-07T21:22:00.000+07:00

Making glass has several steps, which can’t be rearranged. First, we have to prepare the materials used to make glass, such as sand, soda, and limestone, and the tools like furnace, roller, and removable mould. Then, the materials are mixed (by reducing them into powder). After that, they’re heated in the furnace, preferable in the constant temperature for about 5 to 6 hours. The result of this heating is divided into two places according the shape desired. In the first place, the melted mixture is flattened by rollers and cooled into a solid plate glass. In the second one, the melted mixture is distributed into the mould, given air pressure, and then cooled. After the solid bottle glass obtained, the mould can be removed. Finally, the glass products are ready to sell or use.

There are several steps to produce glass. First, the materials such as sand, soda, and limestone must be reduced to powder. After the coarse parts are sifted, the mixed materials are heated in a furnace for five or six hours in very high temperature. Then the result of the heating process, which is liquid form, will be distributed to two places. In the first place, the result will be shaped by rollers and then cooled to form a flat shape which process will produce plate glass as the result. In the second place, the result of the heating process is put in removable mould and blown with air. After the mixture is cooled, the mould can be removed and a bottle glass has been formed.

How the Glass is Made

2007-10-07T13:00:00.000+07:00

I will explain how the glass is made, generally, in 3 steps:

First, gathering the materials for making glass. The materials are sand, limestone, flint, spar, or some other silicious substances, with one or other of the fixed alkalies, and in some cases with a metallic oxide. The silicious substances are lead, borax, arsenic, nitre, or any alkaline matter such as soda, pearlash, sea-salt, and wood-ashes.

Second, processing the materials. The coarse goods must be washed in water. Then it must be reduced to powder. After sifting out the coarse parts, the proper proportions are mixed together, and put it into the calcining furnace, where they are kept in a moderate heat for 5 or 6 hours, being frequently stirred about during the process.

Third, forming the glass. The melted glass from furnace is divided into two places with two purpose; making plate glass and making bottle glass. To make plate glass, the melted glass is flattened and cooled by rollers, and the result is thin plate glass. At the other place, to make bottle glass, the melted glass is flowed into removable mould then blown by air. The glass is cooled and the mould is removed, then the result is bottle glass.

Now we know the production of glass. Do you know how you were made by God?

Glasses..

2007-10-05T21:37:00.001+07:00

There are several kinds of glasses that can be adapted to different uses. Glass can be manipulated to form packaging, car windscreens, glazing or numerous other products. Bottle-glass is the coarsest and cheapest kind of glass which consists of alkaline earth and oxide of iron combined with alumina and silica. While, the best and most beautiful are the flint and the plateglass. They are composed of fixed alkali, pure siliceous sand, calcined flints and litharge, in different proportions.
Glass is made by melting together several minerals at very high temperatures. Silica in the form of sand is the main ingredient and this is combined with soda ash and limestone. Other materials can be added to produce different colours or properties. These materials for making glass must first be reduced to powder, which is done in mortars or by horse mills. After having a powder, sift out coarse parts and mix silex and flux together, put in furnace, and heat for five to six hours, stirring it often during this process. Once done the material is taken out and is called frit. It is then easily converted to glass by pounding it out and vitrifying it in a melting pot. This is the state when different color can be added. Then, blow the glass to form different shapes and make different things and the whole glass making process is done.

Glass Manufacturer

2007-10-05T05:43:00.000+07:00

There are 2 main types of glass, plate glass and bottle glass, which are manufactured in the factory. The process itself needs 2 major steps, the melting and the shaping, before the outcome can be spread out to the store. The first step is the melting, the ingredients:sand, silica (SiO2); soda (Na2CO3), a sodium salt of carbonic acid; and limestone, of which only calcium oxide (CaO) is extracted are burnt and molten in the furnace with temperature for about 2.300°-2.800° F (1260°-1537°C). After becoming molten glass, it is distributed to the roller machine for shaped. The molten glass, or so called 'glob', is cut into plate while it is rolled over the roller machine and its temperature are lowered to make the molten glass change form from liquid state to solid form of any size the factory need. The the glass plate is cooled down again to maintain its solid state. Instead of go through the rolling machine, which makes the plate glass, the molten glass go through rather different shaping stage to become bottle glass: the molten glass fills the removable would in the shape of bottle glass while air acts as the shaper of inner shape, it makes hole inside the glass bottle, as the glass takes bottle form and is 'pushed' by the air, its temperature is also cooled down to make the bottle glass solid and bottle glass is ready when its temperature reach room condition. When the shaping stage is over, the plate glass and bottle glass is ready to be delivered.

2007-10-05T05:29:00.000+07:00

The process of making soda-lime glass is generally divided into three steps. The first step is melting. Mixture of ingredients is heated until it melts on 1000 degrees Celsius. The product of this process is a liquid-like form of the mixture which is called molten glass. The second step is forming. The molten glass is formed to be either a plate glass or a bottle glass. To make a plate glass, the molten glass is poured between water-cooler rollers so that the molten glass will be flattened. In the other hand, to make a bottle glass, molten glass is poured into removable mould and injected with high-pressure air so that the molten glass will be hollow in the center. The last step is cooling. In this step, the molten glass is cooled so that it will form solid glass.

The Process to Produce Glass

2007-10-05T00:17:00.000+07:00

Glass has been produced by mankind for such a long time. Now, in modern life there are so many ways to produce glass. Every way has its unique procedures on treating the elements into glass. It is not hard to understand how glass is made.
First, to produce glass, we have to distinguish the elements which are going to be used. There are sand, soda, and finally limestone. The next step we must take is heating the elements, which already placed together, in some kind of media which is able in resisting the heat, so the elements will liquefy and can be processed into the further step. After heating, we have to decide the type of glass we want to produce. We have two options, the bottle-shaped glass and the plate-shaped glass.
If we chose to make a bottle-shaped glass, the next step we have to apply is placing the liquid elements into a mold which already shaped like a bottle in the inside. The important event which will happen in this process is related to the air pressure. When the elements poured into the mold, the air pressure outside will press the elements so the elements will be attached to the wall of the mold.The final step that we should take in processing the glass into a bottle-shaped glass is let ting the elements to froze inside the mold, and then remove the mold itself from the glass.
If we chose to make a plate shaped glass, the next step is placing the liquid elements into a square shaped media.The final step that must be applied in processing plate glass is transferring the elements out and rolled it into a set of rollers that put face-to-face. The liquid glass elements will then have a plate shape. After these series of processes above, the elements will be transformed into the glass, which we usually see and use in our daily life.

Making Plate Glass and Bottle

2007-10-05T00:09:00.000+07:00

Glass contents a mixture of silicate and soda (i.e. Ca(OH)₂, NaOH). Soda-lime composition is used to make bottle and plate glass. After prepared and measured the raw materials of glass, they are mixed and be fused initially. Then they are subjected to the coal-burning furnaces. The furnaces are full of heat, so the materials will be melted. The melted glass or the molten glass is brought to the correct working temperature, and then delivered to the forming machines. The molten glass will be formed into two forms, they are bottle and plate glass.

For making plate glass, the used method is pressing. In this process, the molten glass is produced by pouring molten on a flat surface and with double rollers on both sides of the molten glass. It will be smoothed on its both surfaces. By pouring glass into an iron table and rolling it flat. After annealing, the plate is polished on both sides. In polishing process, the temperature is high enough to make the plate glass perfect by removing fluid flow of the glass. The temperature is lowered as the glass through the end of the annealing oven.

Bottle is produced by two processes, pressing and blowing. Pressing is used to form the open side of the bottle. Blowing us used to form the body of the bottle. In blowing machine, the molten glass is dropped in a narrow and inverted mold, then forced down by an air blast into the lower part of the mold. A baffle then put over the top of the mold. The half-formed bottle, called a parison, is held by the neck, inverted, and then lowered into a second finishing mold, in which another air blast blows it out to bottle’s finished shape.

The Glass Making

2007-10-04T23:36:00.000+07:00

Glass is made by combining sands,which is contain silica(SiO₂), soda ash and limestone. These raw materials are mixed and put in a furnace to be melted at a very high temperature. After the materials becomes a molten glass, it can easily formed into any shapes.

There are two basic shapes of glass. The first shape is plate glass which is made by flattened out the molten glass using some rollers. The second shape is bottle glass. It is made in several steps which is more complicated than steps in making plate glass. The first step is placed the molten glass at the end of a blow pipe. Second, it blown by the air from the pipe which will makes it expanded while dropping into a removeable mould. Last, the expanded molten glass keeps blown by the air until it is follow the shape of the removeable mould.

After the shaping process, a well formed glasses are being cooled down in several days and then they are ready to use.

MAKING GLASS PROCESS

2007-10-04T23:10:00.000+07:00

In the process of making glass, several procedures are needed. First, sand (that contains of silica), soda, and limestone are put together into a furnace. Having heated in the furnace, those things turn into glass liquid. This glass liquid flows through a pipeline. Later, the flow is divided into two pipelines to produce two kinds of products, plate glass and bottle glass. To make plate glass, the glass liquid is delivered into some roles to be pressed. While in bottle glass production, the glass liquid is sent into removable moulds and some air is also blown into, then the glass liquid is pressed. When the temperature gets lower and this two kinds of glass get harder, they are ready to be used.

Step by step in making glass

2007-10-04T22:54:00.000+07:00

There are some steps to make glass. First we need the main ingredients. There are Silica (SiO2) which we can get in the form of sand, then soda (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaO). Then mix the three ingredients in a furnace then heat the furnace. To melt the sand, the furnace has to reach a temperature of approximately 1,982°C. After they melt, the molten glass can be formed into two shapes.

The first shape is plate glass. Plate glass is made by poured molten glass into a melting pot, then the molten glass will flow through some rollers, so we can get the thickness we want.

The second shape is bottle glass. Bottle glass is made by poured molten glass into a removable mould. Then air is blown from a blowpipe into the mould. So the molten glass follows the shape of the removable mould and forms the bottle glass shape.

Then we have to cool down the plate glass or the bottle glass for several hours until it gets its solid form.

How Glass is Made

2007-10-04T22:42:00.000+07:00

Glass is made by sand that contains of silica (SiO2). Silica is combined with soda (sodium bicarbonates) to make the silica’s viscosity and fusion temperature become lower. Then it is combined with limestone as a stabilizer. First, the three combined material are burned with furnace. Second, after it become a liquid, it is distributed into two different process, to be a plate glass and a bottle glass. Next, in plate glass process, glass is pressed by roller while in bottle glass process, glass is shaped by removable mould. Finally, glass is quality-controlled tested and distributed for economical purposes.

Glass Making

2007-10-04T22:25:00.001+07:00

Glass is a combination of sand and other minerals that are melted together at very high temperatures to form a material that is ideal for a wide range of uses. These are the following steps of making glass.
First, prepare the ingredients such as silica (SiO2) in sand form, soda ash (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaCO3). The composition of the ingredient can be vary depending on it's purpose. Second, Put the ingredient into the melting furnace and then melt it at temperature of 1700 Celcius degree. Other materials can be added in this stage to form different colours, such as uranium for yellow and gold for red. Third, draw the molten glass into the forming machine. It can formed into many kind of products, for example car widescreen. Fourth, The basic form reheated and changed into final form and then the glass cooled to strengthen it form. Done, the glass is ready to use.

The use of glasses in our daily life is so various; it can be used as bottles, plates, windows, until sun glasses that we usually use on daytime.
There are several steps of making the glasses. First, we should prepare for its ingredients, like sand, soda, and limestone. Then, all the ingredients must be mixed in the furnace with high heat, so they will mix perfectly and become a liquid, which can make us easier to shape the glass. After the materials turn to steam glass, it will be formed in two kind; bottle and plate glass. Forming glass steam into bottle: the glass steam should move to the removable mould, and blow air underneath it, until the bottle-shaped glass is made. The other, is plate glass. It’s made by pouring the steam glass into such a container that will continue to the rollers, which used to flatten the glass steam and make it thick, and it will be shaped next, as the form that you want.

Methadone therapy maybe the best therapy for drugs addict so far. Methadone has less effect than heroin, although methadone itself is a synthetic heroin. But, methadone not damaged the mental and body of its user like heroin. It works otherwise. While heroin destroy it's user, methadone bring order to it's user body. It also can stay longer inside its user body than heroin. Methadone also can reduce putaw effects. Methadone also has lighter side effects than putaw. Beside that, this method can control HIV spread because methadone is used by drink. There is a lot of junkie stop using putaw and heroin after having methadone therapy

From Sand to Glass

2007-10-04T21:42:00.000+07:00

Glassmaking process includes three steps. Those are melting materials, shaping the melted materials, and cooling. At the beginning, sand, soda, and limestone are mixed and heated in a furnace, until all materials are melted. Then, the melted materials are divided to different places. The first portion is distributed into a roller and flattened. After the flat materials are cooled, we can take it as plate glass. The second portion is placed to a removable mould to be shaped. As the same time as the materials are being shaped, the mould is blown by cold air. After that, we get bottle glass.

How to Make Glass

2007-10-04T21:37:00.000+07:00

There are several steps to make glass. First, glass is made by melting together several materials at very high temperatures. The main ingredient that required is silica (SiO2) in the form of sand. Then, silica is combined with soda ash and limestone. Soda ash (Na2CO3) is added to reduce the sand's melting point. Limestone (CaCO3) is added to make the glass water-resistant. The combination of these materials is called the 'batch'.
Then, the batch is melted in a furnace at temperatures of 1700°C (3090°F) for 5 or 6 hours and being frequently stirred during the process. After the batch becomes liquid or becomes molten glass, it can be formed into the desired shape.
Molten glass can be formed into two shapes. The first shape is plate glass. Plate glass is made by pouring molten glass into a melting pot upon a table covered with copper. Then, the molten glass is rolled or flattened out to a proper degree of thickness.
The second shape is bottle glass. Bottle glass is made by placing a piece of molten glass on the end of a blowpipe. After that, the molten glass is expanded by blowing air into the pipe. The removable mould is placed exactly under the blowpipe. When the air is blown, the molten glass follows the shape of the removable mould and forms the bottle glass shape.
Finally, when the piece is finished, the glassworker puts it into an annealing oven where it is gradually cooled over several hours to several days.

The Process of Making Glass

2007-10-04T21:19:00.000+07:00

There are several steps in the process of making glass. The first step is collecting the materials such as sand, soda, and limestone. The second step is mixing the materials in a furnace and are molted into a liquid called molten glass. After that, it is possible to make plate glass or bottle glass. To make plate glass, the molten glass has to be rolled in a flat plate, after that, the molten glass needs to be cooled down. To make bottle glass, the molten glass has to be poured into a mould that has a bottle shape, after that, air has to be injected into the mould so the molten glass is forced to make a bottle shape, after that, the molten glass has to be cooled down.

How the Glass is Made

2007-10-04T20:42:00.000+07:00

It’s needed some steps to make a glass which we use everyday. First, we have to collect the material of the glass. They’re sand or pure silica (SiO2), soda or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and limestone or calcium oxide (CaO). We can add some magnesium oxide (MgO) and aluminum oxide to provide for a better chemical durability. Then, they are put and mixed in the melting pot in a furnace and heated in about 1.500° C. After that, the mixture is divided into two parts. For making plate glass and bottle glass. Plate glass is made by poured molten glass into a roller, so that we get the shape we want. Bottle glass is made by poured molten glass into the removable mould and then the air is blown into the mould so that the molten glass will be pressed to the side of the mould. Then plate glass and bottle glass are cooled down for getting the solid form.

There are some steps to make glass. First, we need material such as sand (SiO2), limestone (CaO), and soda (Na2CO3). Then, mix those materials in a furnace and burn them in high temperature (1800 Kelvin) until they melt and become glass steam. The glass steam has to be flown to the next step. The next step is glass forming. There are two kind of process. First process is for producing plate glass. To make plate glass, pour the glass steam to container that will flow the mixture through some rollers. These rollers will flatten the glass steam into plate glass. The other process is for producing bottle glass. To make bottle glass, pour the mixture to a removable mould. Then, blow air into the mould to expand the melted mixture to the area inside it. Then, we have to cool down the mixture. After that, remove the mould to get the bottle. These are steps to make the plate glass or bottle glass.

There are several steps that must be followed to make plate and bottle from glass. First, we have to prepare all the basic materials. They are sand, soda and limestone. After that, we mix all of the materials and heat them into the furnace. The furnace must be heated up to 1200 C, until all the materials reach their melting point and become fluids. Next step, the fluids that now called molten glass are flown in to different path for shaping. To make plate glass, flow the molten glass through the rollers so that the molten glass can get its shape. To make bottle glass, pour the molten glass in to the removable mould. Flow air to the molten glass that already shaped. When the temperature gets lower, the molten glass become harder and ready to use.

To make a glass, there are some steps to follow. First of all, you have to get all of the ingredients and tools: sand, soda, limestone, furnace, roller and removable mould. Then the sand, soda and limestone are mixed and heated in the furnace. After about a day, separate this mixture into two: the first part is flowed to a roller and the second is flowed to a bottle-shaped mould. Finally, after those are cooled, the first part becomes a plate glass and the second becomes bottle glass (after the mould is removed).

The making of glass requires several steps. Firstly, some sand, soda, and limestone need to be collected. These raw materials are then mixed in a furnace, and are melted down into a liquid known as molten glass. Once this molten glass is obtained the making of both plate glass and bottle glass becomes possible.
For the making of plate glass, the liquid molten glass is then rolled into a flat plate by rollers. When the glass finally cools down it would end up hard and thin, thus producing what we call plate glass.
For the making of bottle glass, the liquid molten glass is poured into a removable mould that has the shape of a bottle. Air is then injected into that removable mould, which forces the glass outward onto the mould and makes the glass take the shape of a bottle. The mould is then cooled down and removed, and a glass bottle is made

Slogan of “bike to work” is being more popular today. Not just as a slogan but more and more people do it in their daily activities and make it as their lifestyle. Using bicycle to do our daily activities will make some advantages. First, we can save our city from pollution. Since air pollution in big cities, like Jakarta, has became worse day by day, an effort to reduce the using of fossil fuel that exhausts pollutant like carbon monoxide gas will be very worthy. Second, People who use bicycle in their daily activities can increase their health, because, unconsciously they have move all part of their body when they ride their bike. Based on the research, riding bicycle is one of activity that can increase our heart function. The third, we can decrease the level of traffic jam in our city beause using bicycle will not take lots number of the road like car do. The last but not least, we can save the energy, so our next generation can still enjoy natural resources, like oil, even it is unrenewable.

In general, there are several steps to make glass. First, the basic ingredients, which are sand, soda, and limestone are put and mixed together in the furnace. In that melting pot, they are heated at temperatures of 1200^o Celcius to be the molten glass material. The molten glass is divided into 2 kinds of process to get the shape of the glass. In the first kind of process, the molten glass is poured into rollers machine to be pressed. The result is the plate shaped glasses. The second kind of process is shaping bottle glass. In this case, the molten glass is put into the removable mould. During the shaping process, the air is blown into the mould. Then, the bottle glass is safely removed from the mould. After shaping, the glasses have to be cooled down before they are used or repackaged.

There are several steps to make plate or bottle glass. First, we have to prepare sand, soda, and limestone as raw materials, for the better results, sometimes additional materials are needed. The next step is mixing and combusting all of the materials in the furnace, this process produce a mixture which should be used as basic materials for glass making. Then, this mixture is distributed into two channels or pipes, one is for plate glass further process another one is for bottle glass further process. The mixture in plate glass pipe is dumped into a basin to be rolled and shaped in the Rollers, we can call this process’ product as “hot plate”. The mixture in bottle glass pipe is put into removable mould along with the air to make desired shapes, we can call this process product as “hot bottle”. These two half-final products, “hot plate” and “hot bottle”, are put in an advanced cooler to get the final result, formed in plate and bottle glass as we seen in our circumstances. Sometimes, for aesthetic touch, these glass plate and glass bottle are painted or furnished.

There are several steps to produce glass. First of all, we have to put the “ingredients” into the furnace. The material are sand, soda, and limestone. The furnace will melt them all. After that, the melting material will be divided and transported to two different locations. In the first location, we will make the material to be a bottle glass. The material will be put in a removable mould to fill it up. When the material has filled this mould, the air is blown to the center of the mould to make an empty space in the bottle. Then we just have to make the temperature lower, so the material will be back to its solid state. In the second location, we will make the material to be a plate glass. The material will be placed in a container that will transport it pass some rollers, to make it flat. After that, we have to lower its temperature, just like the bottle glass making process. These are the end of glass-making process.

There are three steps to make the glass. First is mixing the raw materials into the furnace. Silica in the sands, soda, and limestone as the raw materials are melted at temperatures of 1700 degrees Celcius for 24 hours in the furnace. During the process, we can add some substances like color powder or broken glass from a previous melt. Then, the second step is cooling the mixture several hundred degrees in order to make it easy to be formed. The third step is make the liquid formed. The liquid glass can be blown, pressed, drawn, or rolled. To make a bottle glass, the liquid is placed in a mold, and the air pressure is given against the side of the mold. While, to make a plate glass, the thick liquid is gone through the rollers until it has flat form. After that, place the formed glass in the oven to make it strong and then cooling it down at controlled temperatures. Finally, the glass has made and ready to be used.

Glass that we always use has passed many steps until we can use it. To make the glass, first we need some ingredients of glass such sand, soda, and limestone. Then these essential materials must be heated in a furnace. Second, we must process it and shape it to what we want. For example, if we want to make bottle glass, we need mould to help making the hole inside the bottle and the outside shape. Different from bottle glass, to make a plate glass we have to use some rollers to make the glass flat. Finally, the glass must be polished in order to make the glass looks sleeker. Then after some washing and cleaning, the glass has been ready to use.

How to make glass

2007-10-04T15:57:00.000+07:00

Actually we did not obtain glass as the form we use now, but it is a mixture of some materials that processed in high temperature. The materials are sand (silica, SiO₂), limestone (calcium oxide, CaO), and soda ash (sodium carbonate, Na₂CO₃). We can add other material to get better quality of glass. To make glass, first the three basic materials heated with a high temperature inside the furnace. After it blended well, a high temperature liquid glass is directed into two machines, plate making machine and bottle-glass making machine. Inside the plate making machine, liquid glass is flowed through a roller to make thin plate glass, and it is pressed until we get the shape of glass we want. At the bottle-glass machine, the high temperature liquid glass placed at the top of the removable mould and blew by air. The liquid will puff and stick at the mould surface. After it cold enough the surface of the glass is softened by grindstone and finally it is ready to use.

Although making glass requires sophisticated tools, the process is actually simple. One of the process is using soda, limestone and sand as the basic materials. The materials must first be reduced to powder. Then they are mixed and put into furnace. After heated for 5 or 6 hours in high temperature, we have the materials is perfectly melted. The melted materials is called molten glass. The molten glass is put into some kind of machine to make a plate glass. The machine has some rollers to flatten the molten glass. To make a bottle glass. the molten glass is put into a removable mould and blown with air. After the glass is cooled, the mould can be removed and we have a bottle glass.

It's hard to imagine if modern people nowadays doesn't get contact with glass. Almost every modern equipment use glass as its primary material. Lamps, for example, use glass to avoid direct contact with human being. Television uses glass for its screen. Since glass has such an important role in our life. We need to know what glass really is and how it created.

It is widely known in public that glass is mixture of three ingredients: Sand or silicon oxide which is the most important elements to make glass, soda (Na2CO3) which helps to lessen the process temperature from 2000^oC to 1000^oC, and limestone so that the mixture doesn’t dissolve easily.

After collecting these three components, we combine them in a furnace and melt it at 1000^oC or more. As soon as the mixture melts, we pass it into two tunnels. One of them pours it into an empty container that has been designated to form several kinds of bottle. In this container, a flow of air is run into it in order to cool down the hot mixture.

The other tunnel leads to a roller machine that justifies the molten mixture so that the glass is produced in a plate form. These plate form then utilize in many way such as, in a building, television, light bulbs, and other products.

In the first place, the mixture is flattened by rollers then cooled to get a solid form. The result in the first place is plate glass. In the second place, the mixture is poured into a removable mould and blown by air, so in the result the mixture forms a bottle’s shape. Then the bottle glass is cooled and the mould is removed, so the bottle glass can be taken.

Glass can be made into two types, bottle and plate glasses. The process to make bottle and plate is quite similar. First, melt the materials such as soda, sand and limestone to the furnace. The temperature of the melting must be kept in a high temperature until the materials are brought to a state of perfect fusion. Second, the mixture is directed to each mould. To make a plate glass, the mixture is placed in a tank which has a hole in under so that the mixture can flow to the rollers. Finally, the rollers will flatten the mixture to form a plate glass. Meanwhile, to make a bottle glass, the mixture is flowed to the removable mould with an air pressure to push the mixture against the side of the mould. After the glass is formed, the mould will be removed.

Glass making through along several processes. To make a glass, first, I have to put the basic material of glass into a furnance. The basic material are sand, soda, and limestone. They are be burned and put into furnance. The output from the first process, that is liquid glass, be distributed into glass mold machine. Among others there are plate mold machine and bottle mold machine. The plate mold machine arranged from rollers of a sort so that liquid glass can be transformed into a good plate shape. The bottle mold form was made so that it can be removed after molding. Before the liquid of glass enter the bottle mold form, an air stream flow be blown on it. All of this process of making glass tools ending in the process of cooling off.

Products of glass are made by several steps. First, several kinds of raw material, such as sand, limestone, and soda, are heated with high temperature inside a furnace. Actually, the main material of glass is silicon. Sand, limestone, and soda are used as basic materials because they contain silicon. Second, after all basic materials are melted and blended well, the liquid glass is directed into two different direction. One direction is to make plate glass and another to make printed glass, such as a bottle. In making a plate glass, liquid glass is placed in another furnace. From this furnace, liquid glass is directed to a roller machine then rolled and become a plate glass.
In the bottle glass production, little part of liquid glass is penetrated in to a removable mould shaped bottle. Then, some air is blown into the mould upon the liquid glass so the glass is blown and it sticks to mould wall. Because the glass follows the shape of mould wall, it then forms a bottle; like the printer mould shape. After glass become solid again, the mould is removed and we get a bottle glass.

There are several steps to make plate glass and bottle. Firstly, material of composing glass is burned in a furnace. Next, these materials are added with sand, soda, and limestone. After that, these materials are burned long enough. Product of burning is continued to two places. First place is to make plate glass and another to make bottle/glass. Product of burning comes into first place and into rollers. Then,it being plate glass. In second place, product of burning is added with air while first place is not. Next, product of burning comes into second place together with air. Second place is removable mould. So,product of burning can comes into it and being bottle.

Glass is a combination of silicious substances (i.e. sand) with one of fixed alkalies (i.e. soda) and also limestone. First, the sand, soda and limestone must first be finely granulated into powder. After the coarse parts are sifted out, the materials are mixed in the proper proportion (10 sand : 17 soda : 5 limestone) and put in the furnace for fiver or six hours. While the materials are heated in the furnace, they must be frequently stirred. After five or six hours, the matter is called frit and divided into two parts. The first part is used to make plate-glass. The frit is easily converted into glass by only pounding and rolling the frit. Sometimes, flux is added in a small portion to correct any fault in plate-glass. The second part is used to make bottle-glass. The frit is poured into a removable mould. When the frit turns into solid, the mould can be removed. The important thing that should be given more attention to get well-made glass is the furnace. The heat in the furnace should be brought on gradually to make a clear glass.

Glass in all its myriad forms starts life in the raw material quarry. Those are sand (silica (SiO2)), limestone / dolomite (calcium oxide (CaO)), and soda ash (sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)). These three basic raw materials are manufactured and then delivered to the furnace to be made into a batch and melted to produce molten glass. In the furnace, firing is by natural gas through the side ports and the glass temperature in the furnace ranges from about 1100 – 1590 degrees Celsius.

From the furnace, the melted glass entering a bottle and plate forming machine.

In the bottle forming machine, different forming techniques are used, depending on the container to be produced, like wide mouth bottles or light weight bottles. But generally, a carefully measured amount of molten glass, called a “gob”, is fired through a funnel into the blank removable mould. Air is then blown into the gob to make it hollow. Then compressed air is used to produce the final shape.

The finished bottle is removed from the machine and conveyed to the lehr for annealing. Anneal is to toughen (glass or metals) by heating and slow cooling.

For plate forming, the gob enter the rolling machine and end up in the plate form. This glass plate can be processed becoming another form like window etc.

To make glass out of raw materials, the correct material which is sand, soda, and limestone is needed. First, all of the material will be contained in a furnace and then burned in a high temperature that will make the material into liquid form. Second, the burned material will be divided two, one will be used as a plate glass material, while the other one will be used as bottle glass’. To make a plate glass the material will be grind in a roller until it took a flat shape. Making a bottle shaped glass is a bit different than a plate glass. The material for the bottle glass will be poured in a removable mould together with some air to make the material took the shape of the mould. When the material is solid enough the mould will be removed and the glass’ shape will remained as when it is inside the mould.

To produce glass, there are several steps must be followed. The first step is to mix the raw materials, which is sand, soda, and limestone, in the furnace. The amount of each ingredient must be set to specific proportion. After that, burn the ingredients in the furnace at certain temperature until they are molten and mixed with each other. Next is the shaping phase. In this phase, the steps are different depend on what the glass will be made into. Generally there are two kinds of glass, plate glass and bottle glass. To produce plate glass, pour the molten ingredients to container that will flow the ingredients through some rollers. These rollers will flatten the mixture into plate glass with certain thickness. To produce bottle glass, pour the mixture to a removable mould. Then, some air is blown into the mould to expand the melted mixture to the area inside it. After both mixtures have been shaped, leave them in open air. When the temperature is low enough, the mixture will get hardened. Finally, a solid glass can be obtained.

There are several steps you need to do when you want to make a glass. First, you need to collect all of the ingredients. The ingredients are sand (mineral contains silica), soda (Na2CO3) and limestone (CaO). Second, after getting all of the ingredients, put them all into a furnace and then burn them with proper temperature, it is about 1400 degrees of Celsius. Third, separate the processed ingredients into two parts, the first part is used to make plate glass and the second part is used to make bottle glass. For the first part, flow the mixture (processed ingredients) into a melting pot. There, the molting pot grinds and polishes the both sides of mixture to make it smooth and pure, then the part of molting pot called roller carries the mixture. For the second part, heat the mixture up to 700 degrees of Celsius until the sand melts and becomes fluid. At this point, the raw material is already melted and the output of that process is called molten glass. Then flow it into a mold in the end of a tube. In the end of making plate or bottle glass process, cool the mixture to get the solid form of either plate glass or bottle glass. To make a high quality of bottle glass, place the molten glass in an annealing oven, then cool it so slowly that the glass is not able to shatter from the strain of sudden temperature change.

There are several steps to make glass. First, mix sand, soda, and limestone. Then burn it in a furnace at a very high temperatures. After this process, we'll get the molten glass. The molten glass is the basic form of plates,bottles,and other things that made from glass. To make plates, place the molten glass into a rolling pin to be pressed, cool it down, and the molten glass will become a hard-thin plate glass. To make bottles, pour the molten glass into a removable mould. Then, blow the air into the mould, cool it down, remove the mould, and we'll get the bottles. It sounds easy, but we need to be careful or we could get burnt!

The Three Simple Steps to Make Plate and Bottle Glass

2007-10-03T13:52:00.000+07:00

Glass has been used by us for many years but “have you ever known how glass is made?” There are three steps to make two kinds of glass which are plate and bottle glass. First of all processes, sand, soda, and limestone must be mixed and burnt at 1500 Reamur in a furnace. The next step, the mixed form from the furnace is divided into two directions in order to get the final form. The final stage, plate glass can be produced if the mixed form is intercepted by a tank and formed by rollers. Bottle glass is formed by a removable mould and in the middle of this process some air is blown into the mould to get the shape of the bottle that we used to use it.

The Process of Glass-Making

2007-10-03T13:38:00.000+07:00

The glass-making process is a time-taking process. The process starts with mixing silica which is obtained from sand with other raw materials which is added to make the process can be done easier like soda that can lowered the melting point of silica and limestone which is added to get better chemical durability. Then, the mixture is routed to the furnace to be heated until it is melted. And the result is the glass stream. Next, the glass stream is distributed to different production line. Some are distributed to make plate glass and the rest are distributed to bottle glass production. The plate glass is formed by sending the glass stream to the rollers to be flatted. While bottle glass is formed in a longer process. First, the glass stream is cut into gobs. Then, the gobs are routed to the blank removable molds. Next step is forming the parison, partially shaped container, by using compressed air then blow out the shape. Finally, after removing the mold, the container or the bottle is done.

Making a glass is not hard. it's relatively easy. before make a glass
you must collect all ingredients. the ingredients are sand, soda, and limestone.
After you had all ingredients, put them into furnace and burnt it with temperatures
of approximately 1500 degrees celcius.The output of that process is molten glass.
with molten glass, you can make two kinds of glass, plate glass or shaped glass.
To make plate glass, you must flow the molten glass to roller.After it cooled, you
will get plate glass. The process to make a shaped glass is a little different than
making plate glass. After you get molten glass, flow it to the shaped mould.
The shape can be anything. It can be bottle, can, or anything. After the molten
glass (inside the mould) has cooled, remove the mould and you will get shaped glass.
See, it's easy right?

Good work, thanks.

How To Make A Glass

2007-10-02T12:19:00.000+07:00

There are easy ways in making of glass. First, we have to collect the material, such as sand, soda, and limestone. After collected, all of the material is mixed in a furnace. Next step is heating. The furnace is heated for about six to twelve hours. Then, the molten is separated into two different process, in order to make two different shapes. The first one is rolled under the rolling pins. In this process, the molten will become plate-shaped glass. Then, the second one is placed under the removable mould which is shaped like a bottle. In this process, the bottle-shaped glass can be obtained after removed from the removable mould. After became two different shapes, the glass is given ornaments and cleaned.

The Glass-Making Process

2007-10-01T19:34:00.000+07:00

There are several steps in the glass-making process. For the first step, we must collect the ingredients to make glass. The ingredients are sand, soda, and lime, which we can get from limestone. In the second step, we must mixed them all and put it in the melting pot in the furnace and then we must heated it up to approximately 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. The result which we can get from it is a form of a molten glass. The last step is forming the molten glass into a solid glass. From this molten glass form, we can make two kinds of glass. That is, the plate glass and the bottle glass. To make plate glass, the molten glass must be poured into some rollers which can shaped the molten glass into a plate glass. The second kind is the bottle glass. To make this bottle glass, the molten glass was poured into a removable mould. While this process take place, the air was blown into the mould as well so that the molten glass was pressed to the side of the mould. After the molten glass cooled down and began to shape a solid bottle form, the mould will be removed to get the bottle glass . These are the steps in the glass-making process.

Making Glass

2007-10-01T17:55:00.000+07:00

The making of glass doesn’t take lots of steps. First step, silica in the form of sand as the main ingredient, combined with soda ash and lime stone are flowed into a furnace and melted at temperatures of 1700oC. Then, the mixture is separated into two parts, for making plate glass and the other is for making bottle glass. For making plate glass, the mixture is just flowed into a melting pot then it is grinded and polished both sides to smooth clarity, then it is caried by a system of rollers . For making bottle glass, the mixture is heated to above 1,000 degrees Farenheit, until the sand melts, and becomes fluid, this is molten glass. It is then blown into a balloon-like shape on the end of a tube. In commercial mold blown and pressed glass applications, this 'balloon' of glass is blown inside a bottle-shaped. The mold is then placed in an annealing oven, to cool very slowly, so the glass doesn't shatter from the strain of sudden temperature change. Both of those two process are ended with cooling process to get the solid form of either plate glass or bottle glass.

Glass Production

2007-09-30T17:38:00.000+07:00

Glass is made by two separated processes, melting and forming. First, sand (mineral contains silica), limestone (CaO), and soda (Na2CO3) are put together in a melting pot in a furnace. Next, the pot is heated up to approximately 1200-degree Celsius. At this point, the raw material is already melted, forming a reddish liquid, that is called molten glass. Second process is forming. In this part, molten glass is formed into plate glass and bottle, the basic form of every glassware such as lamp tube and sauce bottle. Molten glass is poured to a series of rolling pin. Then the glass is pressed by the rolling pin to be a plate. After cooled down with air, the glass formed a hard-thin-plate glass. To make bottle glass, molten glass is poured to a bottle-shape mold. Then, compressed air is injected into the center of the mold so it will press the glass outward and make the center of the glass hollow. Next, the mold is cooled down and the glass is taken out as a bottle. So after these processes molten glass becomes plate glass and bottle.

Processes to Make a Glass

2007-09-30T14:49:00.001+07:00

There are some steps to make a glass. First, sand, soda, and limestone are put and mixed in a furnace, and then they are heated. Then the mixture is divided into 2 paths of process. In the first path, the mixture is cooled and formed by rollers. It becomes plate glass. In the second path, the mixture is put in a removable mould. When the mixture is put, the air is blown into the mould. Then the mixture forms a bottle glass shape in the mould. Then the mould is removed to get the bottle. These are the processes to make a glass.

There are several steps in making glass. First of all, sand, soda, and limestone must be mixed and burnt in a furnace. Then, the melted form of the mixture can be made into two kinds of glass, that is, plate glass and bottle glass, which depend on the process. Plate glass can be produced if the melted mixture is flatten by rollers machine, while bottle glass is formed by a removable mould. In moulding the bottle glass, the melted mixture must be put into the neck of removable mould. Then, some air is blown into the mould to expand the melted mixture to the area inside it. Both plate glass and bottle glass have the same final process. The formed melted mixture is cooled to get a solid glass.

Playing Guitar

2007-09-30T13:23:00.000+07:00

I really like to play guitar. I play guitar since I was in third grade of junior high school. I didn’t take a music course but I learn it autodidacts. My first guitar is acoustic Brunswick. I like to play guitar because it can relax my mind and helps me to entertain myself when I feel so bored. Not only that, I think the sound of the guitar is so beautiful. The harmonization makes me want to play it more and more. I usually play it three hours a day and it increases my ability in playing this instrument. I tend to play blues music because the melody is simple but beautiful. My favorite guitar player is John Mayer. The way he plays the guitar gives me motivation to play the guitar as good as he is.

Earthquake

2007-09-30T11:39:00.000+07:00

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are accordingly measured with a seismometer, commonly known as a seismograph. The magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported using the Richter scale (with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being hard to notice and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas). For example, the earthquakes that occurs in Sumatra recently has a magnitude of 7.9 Richter scale. It causes some houses to crumble and it also damaged large areas.

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground. Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of property. An earthquake is caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes.

Earthquakes may occur naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.

HOW GLASS IS MADE

2007-09-30T08:43:00.000+07:00

Glass used in a lot of human equipments comes from raw materials which pass the making process of glass. There are three steps in making of glass. They are melting, cooling, and forming.
The first step is melting. The raw materials containing silica which is from white sand or pulverized sandstone, soda (sodium bicarbonate), and lime which is from limestone are melted together at 2600 until 2900 Fahrenheit in furnace. The temperature depends on the composition of the raw materials. This step takes about twenty four hours.
The second step is cooling. After melting, the molten glass is then cooled until several hundreds degree at which it can be shaped. It has to be worked quickly to form it into the desired shape.
The last step is forming. The glass can be formed into bottles or plates. For glass bottles, molten glass is placed in a mould. Air is blown in and then the air pressure forces the glass against the side of the mould. When the glass cools and hardens, the mould is opened and a newly-made glass bottles removed. For glass plates, the sheet of glass is rolled flat along the assembly line. After it cools, the glass is ground and polished.

Giving a better live for the veterans

2007-09-27T16:42:00.000+07:00

Most of Indonesian independent war veterans have a bad luck. Some of them do not get any good attention from the government of Indonesia. Therefore, they live in a poor condition. Whereas they are the people who fought hard to make this independent country become real.

Their contribution to this nation make us live as good as now. This country could be worse without their spirit to fight.

In my opinion, this case is like a curse to our country because we forget the veteran’s merit for this country. If we have given a good life for the veteran, we may be able to build this country to be developed country.

As a people of Indonesia, we have to concern about this problem. We have to ask the government to give sufficient salaries for the veteran. Otherwise, we can give some suggestions to the government. Such as, make the government ask foreign businessman to take care some Indonesian war veteran. Each foreign businessman should handle 5-10 families of Indonesian veteran. If the government has asked the businessman to take care the veterans, we will be able to give a good life for them.

The difference between high school education and university education

2007-09-23T10:55:00.001+07:00

After high school we go straight to university, and many of us get a culture shock. There is a huge difference between life as a high school student, and life as a university student.

In high school we are told what to do, and are forced to do it. Our teachers tell us what to study, and we are punished if we do not obey. Therefore, like it or not, most of us end up studying, and as a result we gain knowledge. However, because the learning is forced some of us may not be sincere, and may end up studying a particular topic simply to avoid punishment. In that case, our learning is not driven by interest, and the knowledge we gain could be quickly forgotten. Nevertheless, we do gain some knowledge, and we learn discipline as well. Indeed, the cultivation of discipline amongst students is a big part of most high schools. We are very often made to adhere to strict rules and regulations, and are made to dress in a particular manner. However, whilst many high school students may appear disciplined on the outside, it is unclear if they have really developed inner self-discipline, as their discipline has been forced upon them. In short, high school is an institution of obedience, where we are forced to learn and uphold discipline. However, it remains to be seen whether or not high school students really have developed self-discipline, or really have developed a sincere thirst for knowledge.

University is totally different from high school. There are no dress codes, and there are no school-like punishments if we do not do our assignments or do not come to lectures. There are few of the school-like rules and regulations. If we misbehave in lectures the lecturer will simply send us out of the lecture room, and if we do not study well we will simply fail the course. We are free to express ourselves, and if we are to succeed we have to organize our own studies, and develop a sense of self-discipline. Basically, university does not force students to study. Rather, university students have to force themselves to study. As a result, the only students who would succeed in university are those who are really dedicated and interested in studying whatever they have chosen to study. In other words, success in university proves that a student is sincere, and proves that he or she really possesses the virtue of discipline. I feel that university distinguishes the sincere seeker of knowledge from the ordinary student, as I feel that there is no way for us to learn unless we ourselves want to learn. Knowledge gained in that manner is treasured, and rarely forgotten.

I’m going to let know you the reason I choose ITB as the place of my advanced education. I choose ITB since it offer extra advantage than another universities in Indonesia. Besides, ITB has pretty comprehensive facilities, such as library, laboratory, and another facility to support academic process. Moreover, ITB is convenient enough for me to study as ITB situated in a flat terrain and have nice temperature. I can’t imagine if I study in a hot place such Jakarta or Padang. The next reason is the sufficient amount of scholarship in ITB. I’ve heard from my former that ITB have good proportion between scholarship and students. The last reason I choose ITB is, that ITB is top university in Indonesia. Top university means top lecturers, top students, and bright future for me. So, just like Newton Third Law, if there is an action, there will be a reaction. I did too. I choose it because ITB have what it should have to attract me.

I would like to tell you one of my unpleasant experiences in the first month I study in ITB. This accident (I prefer call it accident to experience) occurred last Friday. It just about five minutes late, when I arrive at GKU Barat. Unfortunately, I don’t commit to memory in which room my class is. Therefore, I started search for my class, room by room, from second floor to the third ones. First searching gave me nothing because I didn’t have any clue, except the lecturer teaching my class. Acutely, I didn’t learn by heart whether my class in the second or third floor. I almost gave up as I’ve searched for two times. Finally, I found my class after ten minutes searching. I found my classroom in the third floor and I’ve passed through the room for four times. What a tragic accident!

Fasting during Ramadan

2007-09-21T06:46:00.000+07:00

Fasting during ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, the essential religious duties of all adult Muslims. Fasting, according to the Qur'an, begins from daybreak until sunset. Fasting consists of self-denial not only from food and drink, but also from sexual relations and smoking. Furthermore, Muslims take special care to avoid negative actions such as lying and fighting.
All Muslims who have reached puberty and who are mentally and physically able to sustain fasting are obliged to fast during Ramadan. People who are sick or traveling, and pregnant or nursing women, are excused from fasting, but they have to make up any missed days later when he/she has recovered or returned. Women who are menstruating or bleeding after childbirth are not allowed to fast, but they too must make up the days they miss at a later date. The elderly and incurably sick need not fast, but they are expected to feed one poor person for every day of fasting they miss.
Before fasting, all of fasting Muslims are recommended to have a meal, called sahur, shortly before dawn during Ramadan. At that moment they state (not saying, but just inside the heart) the intention of fasting. After fasting, as soon as day's end, they are recommended to hurry the breaking of the fast with another meal, called ta'jil. Ta'jil should be a light meal, taken before proceeding maghrib pray. Providing ta'jil to others, especially to the poor, is considered highly praiseworthy. Many Muslims have ta'jil in the neighborhood mosque and invite friends, relatives, and neighbors to join them.
Fasting have many meaning. The fast introduces physical and spiritual discipline. By fasting, the body will become healthier. Moreover, it implicate to self-purification and spiritual growth. Besides of that, fasting serves to remind us the rich of the misfortunes of the poor and fosters, through this difficult act of worship. It also increase a sense of solidarity and mutual care among Muslims of all social background.

Computer Virus…

2007-09-21T06:38:00.000+07:00

Computer virus is a computer program designed to spread from one computer to other computers, and interfere with files and other programs in a computer. It can spread through the internet (like email, porn sites, downloaded files, etc), computers data exchange on a network, and removable storage media (like floppy disk, flash disk, memory card, CD/DVD-ROMS, etc). It adds its own code to the files and programs to gain control of the infected files when they are opened, so as far as our computer is infected, the virus always runs behind our working in the computer, then our system would be very slow down.

The virus makers make the computer viruses for many reasons. They can use their viruses to delete or change files in the infected computers, steal important information (such as credit card number), cripple the operating system (OS), and even make their names or nicknames famous.

Preventing our computers from viruses is very important, because more and more viruses are created daily. We can use any security or antivirus program to prevent the virus infection, as far as we update it regularly. Actually, there’s no personal computer which is safe from all virus infections, so backing up our important data is a must as after a very dangerous infection.

Save Our Planet

2007-09-21T06:35:00.000+07:00

Human does everything causing the global warming. Indonesia suffers from the loss of two billions hectare of rain forest each year. The loss means that we have no trees to produce oxygen and many wild animals such as tigers and elephants are in danger. Moreover, pollution is going crazy everyday, starts from noise pollution, water pollution and also air pollution. Those all are causing the ozone becoming less and less. In addition, the nuclear project also worsen the condition of this blue planet since it's radioactive is very harm and destructive.
However, we can do something to save this beautiful planet. We can start from ourselves by changing our lifestyle. First, we should reduce the usage of television, radio, phone charger, computer, etc. The second, we should not waste the water. The next step is planting a tree or flower. A simple thing can be very beautiful for this planet. Moreover, we should remind our friends with the global warming. We should protect the earth if we want to live in this beautiful planet.

Debate is Our Daily Life

2007-09-21T06:07:00.000+07:00

"Debate or debating is a formal method of interactive and position representational argument. Debate is a broader form of argument than logical argument, since it includes persuasion which appeals to the emotional responses of an audience, and rules enabling people to discuss and decide on differences, within a framework defining how they will interact.

Informal debate is a common occurrence, but the quality and depth of a debate improves with knowledge and skill of its participants as debaters. Deliberative bodies such as parliaments, legislative assemblies, and meetings of all sorts engage in debates. The outcome of a debate may be decided by audience vote, by judges, or by some combination of the two. Formal debates between candidates for elected office, such as the leaders debates and the U.S. presidential election debates, are common in democracies."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debate

Based on article above, we can't deny, even if we are a peasant or politician, that we will eventually do debate with other people, known or newly recognized, even in simple matters. For example, if you are not agree with your mother's decision about your monthly money's amount, you will debate it with delivering your reasons that you need more money for daily needs, etc. Even if you're not meet other people, you sometime debate with your heart about moral thing, whether what you done is right or wrong.

Debating is beneficial, by debating with others we will broaden our view and know many different perception of one problem, we also can share our experience with others and improve our social skills. Structured debate will end up in good ending but not with debate that is not supported with logical reason. Look the politician in Indonesia, they often fight after long debate about some government plan, in Nusa Tenggara for example, because they debate with not good reasons and logics, which is bad for both sides. Imagine if there is no debate in this world, there will be different law for different people with different perception, very annoying world. Debate is incontrovertible things in our life, maybe before you read this blog you have done a debate with your friends, who knows.

Tyre in Formula One

2007-09-21T04:10:00.000+07:00

In motorsport, tyres are one of the most important component that affect the engine performance on track. The tyres are the only contect patch between a car and the ground. A little change on the tyres can greatly influence the performance of a racecar, especially Formula One car.

The official Formula One tyres supplier, Bridgestone, produces about 50.000 tyres in a seasons. Before producing, Bridgestone tyre engineers have to design the compound of the tyre in order to get the best tyre for race. A good tyre should have a strong grip with the ground. To get more grip, the engineers add more rubber into the element of the tyres. Wide tyre also could maximize the grip of tyre.

To compensate for lost footprint area in F1 tyres, the tyre engineers are designing the smaller diamater tyres with more flexible sidewall so more tyre will come in contact with the track. Judging from this knowledge, it is wise to choose a tyre with a taller carcass when running on a track with a rough or bumpy surface so the stiffer sidewall will help cope with the bumps and irregularities.

Almost all of the tyre parts are coloured in black. It comes from the carbon black. It's the best reinforcement for the rubber and makes the tyres black. Actually, there are also some different colour reinforcement, either blue or red, but it's not as strong as carbon black so that's why F1 tyres are black.

After designing the tyres, Bridgestone produces the tyres. Then, the produced tyres will be sent to the F1 teams a day before the practice day.

Before starting a race, the car engineers from each team always cover the F1 tyres with black blanket called tyre warmer. It could set the temperature of the tyres up to 100 degrees Celcius. They warm the tyres in order to get more grip from the heated tyres. The tyres will become very hot. Then there is a joke around F1 engineers, if you hungry, just fry an egg on the tyres.

In the end of the race, some of the used tyres are examined by team engineers and some of them are shipped out to Bridgestone factory, Japan, to be burnt in one of the factory facilities.

The Dangers of Using Cell Phones

2007-09-21T02:19:00.000+07:00

We should know the danger of using a cell phone before we decide to use it, so we won`t use cell phone unnecessary. A group of German scientist from Verum has a solid prove of the danger. After four years of research, they found out that the radiation of cell phone wolud conjure our body cells to increase rapidly and our DNA will separate. This could stimulate many danger disease such as cancer, lack of hormones, stroke, and many more. Cell phone also become danger if we use it while we are driving a car. Driving a car is not a perfect time and place to use cell phone, because it`ll divide our concentration, making car accident very possible to happen. About 5 percent of all car accident happened because the driver was using cell phone before the accident. From now on, we must use cell phone adequately so we can avoid the danger of using cell phone.

Our Intellectuality

2007-09-21T01:13:00.000+07:00

We are a part of one percent of all Indonesian peoples who can study at university/institute. Most people say that we are so intelligent that studying at Bandung Institute of Technology, then they say we are the best students in Indonesia. Then we accept - their opinion that we are the smartest students in Indonesia - directly without a deep thought.

This makes us suppose that intelligence is very important to us. Supported by a sharp and keen intellect, we are so rational that our mind is our primary weapon in analyzing everything. We tend to approach things with logic. We use our intellectuality to win in academic competitions for our own prestige. We use our sharp intellect to create new technological tools but seldom have much to say about the possible future effects on our ecosystems and make many researches but we do not know whether the researches are giving advantage to individuals or society. We seem to be programmed to repeat our days and do a pretty job without improving our cimcumstances, without deepening our awareness, without paying attention to our realities and without seeking knowledge among the signs of nature.

We always use our superhuman brainpower but seldom try listening to our own heart - where as heart sees anything that logic could never see. Heart sees love, friendship, meanings of life, other person's needs and other hidden messages - but logic does not. Heart will find the reason of doing something and the answer of the meaning of life. Without awareness about what it means to be human, intellectuality is nothing!

Defense of the Ancients

2007-09-20T23:49:00.000+07:00

Defense of the Ancients or DotA for shorts is a custom Warcraft III game made someone called IceFrog. This game could be played by maximum of 10 people at once. The players will be divided into 2 teams, The Sentinel and The Scourge. The number of players did not include the referees or observers in competitive games such as a tournament or leagues. The maximum number of referees or observers is 2. That makes it up to 12 people who can join the game.

DotA is a “protect the base” game which means the objective for winning the game is to destroy the base of the enemy’s teams. Each team has one primary target that is to destroy the opponents’ “king” structure, The Ancient Tree for The Sentinel and The Frozen Throne for The Scourge. To destroy those structures each of the players will be controlling a character which called “hero”.

Each player can pick one heroes to control from more than 80 different heroes. The hero is the key to win the game. The combination of good control of the hero and good synergy with your teammates’ heroes is one step closer to winning the game.

Comparing Ourselves to Others

2007-09-20T23:46:00.000+07:00

Most people like comparing themselves to others—seeing another’s superiority and compared it with theirs—although they must have been told that everybody has its own superiority and deficiency before.

For some people, that habit could be a positive thing. Those people can take it as a self-motivator. They improved themselves because they wanted to be a better person than the one they compared to.

Unfortunately, the others cannot do the same. After they compared themselves to another—their friend, for example—they became jealous and they tried to find their friend’s deficiency. They often felt jaunty by knowing their friend’s deficiency, and they then thought that they were better than them!

That was pretty bad. It’s better tried to find their own superiority than to find people’s peccadilloes. Finding people’s deficiency can only broke up relationships while the other way can take them as a better person.

TRAFFIC JAM IN INDONESIA…

2007-09-20T23:45:00.000+07:00

Traffic jam in big cities in Indonesia is an inconvenient problem that disturbs people’s daily activities. In Indonesia, it’s caused by several reasons. The main reason is the huge volume of vehicles on the road (as Yamaha, Toyota, Honda, etc always produce vehicles in periodical time) causing traffic jam if it isn’t balanced with the road capacity, or even if the condition of the road isn’t well anymore. Usually people prefer to use their personal vehicle rather than using public transportation. People thought that using public transportation in Indonesia isn’t as comfort as using personal vehicle. And also, some people don’t want to take a risk with gangster at public transportation. That’s why, traffic jam problem should be solved so that people won’t become inconvenient anymore.

Tricks to Help You Eat Healthfully on The Road

2007-09-20T23:08:00.000+07:00

Amid the rush and stress of business travel, nutrition is often pushed aside. While worrying about beating traffic, making flights, preparing for meetings and presentations, who has the time or the energy to think about eating healthfully?

But traveling for business is not an excuse to needlessly indulge in sugar and fats, experts say. Trading in cheeseburgers for salads and potato chips for carrot sticks could help ease the strain of traveling and help dodge weight gain.

"It doesn't feel good, first of all, to fly with a bunch of junk food in your stomach, or soda. "You want to stay as hydrated as possible, eat as much fiber as possible."

I acknowledged that doing so isn't always easy. Rather than depend on airport and roadside eateries, often laden with fast-food options, I advise travelers to plan ahead..

"Make sure you're eating high-fiber foods, those are your plant foods, like fruits and vegetables, beans and grains". Pita bread, nuts and dried fruits are other good choices and are easy to bring on flights. I also advised travelers to buy water once they've passed through security.

For business travelers who are driving, the choices become easier. "You can pack a cooler, you can bring plenty of water". "Pull over into towns where there are grocery stores. ... Get fresh produce, get vegetables, get a container of hummus and baked tortilla chips."

Of course, eating healthfully en route is only half the battle. How does one avoid the pitfalls of restaurants' choices during business dinners?

"If you're used to eating grilled chicken and steamed vegetables, order grilled chicken and steamed vegetables"

If ordering custom meals seems too fussy and high maintenance, I advised travelers to embrace restaurants' vegetarian options. Those are the high-fiber, low-fat, low-calorie meals.

For American restaurants, baked potatoes or salads are good choices, as long as they are eaten in a relatively pure form. In other words, steer clear of cheese, heavy dressings and meat. "If you don't get the cheese and oils, you're more likely to get high-fiber, low-fat meals".

Even fast-food restaurants can have healthy choices. "Something grilled, chicken is typically the best. A lot of restaurants now have salads, even fast food places".

Tourism Business of Indonesia

2007-09-20T22:58:00.002+07:00

Indonesia, the tropical rain forest country that is known in the world as a tourism country, struck down a descent tourism business image. Two major point that will be discussed here are the probability of the reason of tourism business image of Indonesia and the prime basis of why tourist abroad want to spent their time in Indonesia.
JW Mariot bomb, bali bomb, and many other terorism fact and issue make tourist abroad afraid to go to Indonesia. How they will enjoy having a tour in Indonesia if they get fears, right. Aceh tsunami, earthquake, Sidoarjo mud and many other disaster more and more descend tourist interest.
What do you think about the excuse of tourist abroad having a trip in Indonesia? There is an opinion which says that beautiful scenery is the reason. For them, who have gone around the world to have a trip, have known, I think, that many country besides Indonesia have the same or maybe more beautiful in the scenery of their tourist resort than Indonesia. In my opinion, base on an article of Indonesia tourism, friendliness and hospitality of Indonesian is the main motivation. Tourist will feel comfort, enjoy, and safety when they get serviced or when they assimilated with Indonesian people. Thus, from the paragraphs above, I hope tourism in Indonesia will get its fame.

FOOTBALL = LOTS OF MONEY

2007-09-20T22:50:00.000+07:00

In Europe, football games have become industries which can earn lots of money. For example, in season 2006-2007 income during Champions League reached 750 million euros. (www.uefa.com) The money mainly came from television revenues and commercial contracts. That amount of money then was distributed for various necessities, including price money for the winner. Last year champion received 7 million euros from UEFA (European Football Association), not including the prize money which they received during qualification legs. A research also has released a fact that last year champion received not less than 100 million euros, mostly from television revenues. Not only that, the city from which the champion club comes also received big income. (Pikiran Rakyat 9/5/07)

Making Money from Music

2007-09-20T22:31:00.002+07:00

Music and economy were two very different things. But music has evolved into a commodity that can be sold. These are the two types on how to sell music: Major way and Indie way.
Major record companies are a “factory” that creates and sell music. They classify music based on profit. The ideal music for them is the one that they think can make a huge income to the company; regardless of what the musicians involved feel about the music. Musicians’ creative control to their music is thereby limited. Their job is no longer to create music from their heart, but rather to create a catchy, easy-listening tune. There are musicians that have no problem with this limitation, though, as long as they can have the money. These musicians are sometimes called sellouts.
But still, there are some other musicians that still have the dignity not to sell their creativity out. They start a movement that is independent from any types of creativity limitation by the means of profit. This is called Independent Movement or simply indie. Music in this movement is completely based on the musicians. Musicians have the rights to produce and publish any of their music. But they have to do that by their own money. The budget of course is significantly below the one spent in major record companies. So that means the product will automatically have a limitation in some aspects compared to the major one (e.g.: audience, quality of the package, etc.).
There is no guarantee to make a profit. For the ones who want to make a living from music, choosing between major company and indie label might be a hard job to do.

The glittering Eiffel Tower and The Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysees are the most enduring symbol of Paris which now boasts over 6 million visitors a year.

The second reason is because of its art and museums. Paris has the world’s largest museum, Musée de Louvre. Paris also has Musée d’Orsay, the home of such paintings by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh. From the world’s finest museum to some of the more obscure but no less worthy museums such as Musée Carnavalet, Paris has something for everyone.

There are St. Chapelle with its gothic architecture and the church of Sacre-Ceour with its great view of the city. Each church has stained glass, vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and giant organs which give mystical and magical feelings.

The fourth reason is because of its shops and flea markets. Paris is a paradise for shopping. People with deep pockets who look for fine things of any kind can buy whatever they like around Madeline and Opera. The best known item from Paris is fashion. World wide fashion brands such as Chanel, Hermes, and Dior are available at discounted prices.
