What is a Bottle?

A bottle is a narrow-necked glass container of various shapes and sizes used to store and transport liquids. The mouth of the bottle is usually sealed with a cork or a closure. Bottles are often decorated with labels and can be identified by the number, size, and shape of the mold marks or by a ground-rim/lip finish. Bottles are often made of transparent or translucent glass. Bottles are primarily designed for use with alcoholic beverages and some household products but are also used for medicines, perfumes, and other items. Bottles may be produced by hand or by machine.

The following list of terms is provided to help with understanding some of the terminology used throughout this web site and in collector jargon. Some of the terms are easier to see than describe and many are explained in pictures on the General Bottle Morphology page. Click the terms in bold italics for more information and/or a picture or illustration.

Mold seams – The meandering “ghost” like mold seams on the body, neck, and base of machine-made bottles from a parison (two-piece) mold. These seams are conclusive evidence of machine manufacture. Also referred to as suction scars, Parison mold lines, and a similar term, parting lines.

Ground rim/lip – A finish on a hand-made bottle that has been ground on the top surface to enhance sealing and closure fit. This is most commonly seen on older canning jars and on hand-made bottles with outside screw threads. It is sometimes inaccurately referred to as a ring, lip, or heel.

A blown bottle – A glass bottle that has not been made by a press-mold or by the blowpipe of a semi or fully automatic machine. Bottles of this type were traditionally shaped and finished by the maker using the air pressure applied to the bottle by the mouth. Also known as a mouth-blown bottle or hand-made bottle.

Iron pontil scar – The mark left on the base of a bottle by the end of a red hot iron pontil rod. The scar is generally circular though it can be oblong, oval, square or rectangular. The scar is frequently covered or embedded with a black or gray deposit of ferric oxide, known as a pontil mark. Alternatively, it is referred to in collector jargon as a “graphite” or “improved” pontil mark.

Deterioration – The processes and appearance of chemical or mechanical degradation of glass to the point that it is no longer suitable for its intended purpose. The deterioration can lead to breakage, cracking and chipping as well as loss of transparency or luster. Also referred to as wear, devitrification, and patination.

Cockney rhyming slang meaning “arse” or lose your bottle. “Bottle it” is a variation of this term. Also see the crockney slang page.

Redefining Work

Work — and the ways in which we engage with it – have the potential to change the world. It can provide us with discipline, wisdom, skill and relationships that shape the course of our lives. It can help us feel accomplished and rewarded, even as it often drains our time, energy and passions. Whether we have fond memories of the mentors who taught us, the positions that stretched our limits, or the times it has jaded us and made us cynical, the way we use our bodies, minds, energies at work shapes our identities.

But work can also create problems, especially for frontline employees. This is why redefining work has become such a major focus of thought leadership and debate. To do this, we must first understand what it is and why it matters.

The scientific definition of work is: “The amount of energy transferred from one place to another or from one form to another.” The SI unit for work is the joule (J), which is equal to a force of 1 newton applied over a displacement of 1 meter. In everyday life, we rarely think about the process of doing work – the horse pulling a plow through the field, a parent pushing a shopping cart through the supermarket, a freshman lifting a heavy bag over her head, an Olympian throwing a shot-put. But these examples are actually a good example of work, because they have three key ingredients: force, displacement and cause.

For complex systems that undergo motion that is not one-way or in two or three dimensions, it is necessary to divide the motion into a series of one-way, one-dimensional segments and find the small amount of work done over each segment. This is done by solving an integral equation that takes into account both the force and the velocity of the system over time dt. The result is the area under the curve of the force vs. displacement graph.

The important thing to remember is that this definition of work applies to any system with momentum, not just a physical body. That is why we use a variety of measurement units for work, including the joule and the erg. Sometimes, we even use units typically reserved for heat or energy content, such as the calorie and the kilocalorie.

In general, the formula for finding the work of a system is dW = Fs dt. This is a path integral. To do the same work in two consecutive time intervals, we double the amount of force and then double the distance traveled. For example, it would take twice as much work to lift a weight of 100 pounds over the head as it did to raise it 50 yards. The same principle is true when we are analyzing an angular motion, such as the rotation of a shaft or the compression or rotary motion of internal particles in a mechanical system. This is why we speak of the “work of a system” when discussing angular motion, rather than simply “work.” The term is more accurate in this case because it includes all of the work that must be done to cause the movement.

Creating a Love That Lasts a Lifetime – How to Spice Up Your Sex Life

Creating a love that lasts a lifetime requires more than just sex. Being emotionally connected, embracing new experiences, and regularly expressing affection can help couples stay frisky in and out of the bedroom. Adding new sensual activities, exploring fantasies together, or even introducing a sensual massage can also bring more romance to long-term relationships. Keeping the spark alive in bed is key to making it last a lifetime, so try different things to spice up your romance and see what works best for you and your partner.

The term “making love” can mean many different things to people, depending on their personal beliefs and experiences in life. For some, it means simply engaging in sexual intercourse with someone that they are romantically interested in or care about, regardless of whether or not there is any emotional connection between them. For others, it’s about the experience itself – a more passionate, intimate, and sensual interaction than what you might expect from a regular sex session. This can involve foreplay, arousal, and an almost telepathic connection between two lovers that goes beyond just the carnal pleasure.

It can also include more elaborate activities, like experimenting with new sex positions or techniques, creating an erotic environment with candles and mirrors, or giving each other sensual massages. The most important thing is to make sure that your partner knows that you care, that you’re there for them, and that they can feel safe with you. Make eye contact, speak softly, and touch lightly. If you are unsure what they want or need, ask them. They will appreciate your attentiveness and are likely to reciprocate.

In many cases, a man who enjoys making love will be open to trying new things in the bedroom and may even encourage you to push yourself harder. He will likely have a strong sense of responsibility to ensure that everything is safe and comfortable for both of you. He will also be attentive to his partner and listen to what she wants, needs, and likes.

Foreplay is a great way to set the mood for intimacy, so don’t be afraid to go slow and enjoy every stroke of her body. He will feel your passion, and she will want to return it with the same intensity. Slow thrusts build intensity and will be much more satisfying than a fast thrust. Make sure to look at her eyes and hold her close so that she feels your love and desire for her.

It’s a good idea to take note of how often you and your partner engage in each of these activities. If you can identify patterns in the data, celebrate those areas where you’re connecting on a deeper level and become curious about the ones that need improvement. The more you understand how to make love, the better it will be for your relationship. With a little work, you can have the romantic connection you’ve always dreamed of.

What Is a Glass Bottle?

A glass bottle is a container for holding liquids. Bottles can be made of many materials but glass is particularly suitable because it combines strength and durability with good optical transparency. In addition, glass can be manipulated and refined to a large degree to satisfy specific functional requirements. As a result, bottles have been produced in many shapes and sizes with a wide variety of closures, all of which are designed to seal the contents securely and to prevent leakage. Bottles can be manufactured by various processes but the most common is blow-molding, a method that allows for the production of high volume bottles at low cost. Plastics have also been used for bottles, but glass remains the material of choice in most applications due to its superior properties.

The term “bottle” can refer to any container that contains a beverage or other liquid such as milk, water, juice or alcohol. The bottle can also refer to a container for industrial, pharmaceutical and personal care products. Glass is the primary material used for manufacturing bottles, although metals can also be employed. A wide variety of chemicals are added to glass during its manufacture to give it the desired physical and chemical characteristics. Glass is a complex compound composed of many different elements and compounds including silicates, oxides, hydroxides and halides. Bottle glass is a highly refined version of glass that requires a higher percentage of silicates and oxides to produce than does window glass or sheet glass.

Applied color label (ACL) – A technique of marking, lettering and decorating a bottle by applying mineral or organ pigments with a very low melting point that are baked in a furnace to fuse the colors to the surface of the glass. This process is sometimes also referred to as pyroglazing, pyro, enameling, fire-fused and painted labeling.

Base plate (baffle plate) – A plate that forms part of the blank or parison mold on an automatic and semi-automatic bottle making machine that causes an off-center, incised baffle mark on the bases of some machine-made bottles. This feature is much better illustrated by a picture than by description – see the Bottle Bases page for an example.

Full sized bottle mold – A glass bottle mold that is the exact size and shape of a finished bottle. An inflated gather is placed into the full sized mold and expanded until the outside surface of the gather conforms to the inside surfaces of the bottle body, shoulder and heel or neck/finish areas. A full sized mold usually forms most or all of the bottles base, body, shoulder and sometimes neck/finish. A full sized mold can also be referred to as a “full rim” or a “standard bottle” (Tooley 1953).

Lehr – A kiln or furnace where newly blown bottles were gradually reheated and cooled to enhance their strength and reduce cooling breakage. A lehr was often tended by a person who was known as a lear tender.

The Concept of Work

The concept of work is evolving (Schab, 2016). Increasingly, workers are seeking more meaningful and purposeful work that aligns with their values and passions. This has resulted in a major shakeup of workplace dynamics and the traditional view of what it means to do a job. This change has also contributed to uncertainty about future employment and careers, a lack of confidence in the concept of long-term career stability, and eroded worker loyalty to their employers.

While many definitions of work focus on the creation of economic products and values that can be consumed in the future, there is a growing body of literature that suggests that this narrow definition of work is inadequate to describe what it really means to do work. As such, a broad multidisciplinary revisiting of the notion of work is needed.

Work is the process of transferring energy into or out of a system. It can be done on any system with mass, including people. The amount of work done on the system is the product of the force exerted and the distance over which the force acts. The unit for work is the joule, which is equal to the work exerted on a mass times its acceleration. For example, the work required to lift a kilogram of weight uphill against gravity is 0.5 joules. This is because the upward force of gravity is equal to the kilogram’s weight times its acceleration.

In physics, work is an important physical concept that reveals the interplay of force and displacement. For an object to do work, it must be displaced, and the relative directions of the force and displacement determine whether the work is positive, negative, or zero. A book falling off a table onto the ground does work because the downward force of gravity is greater than the book’s weight and reaches down to the book, causing it to be displaced in a downward direction.

The value of an activity largely depends on the meaning it has for the person performing it. While this is obvious for activities like eating or sleeping, it is less clear for more complex activities such as the creation of a painting or a computer program. Moreover, the value of such activities may be diminished when the person performing them feels that they no longer enjoy or appreciate it.

While the desire for more meaningful work is driving significant changes to how and where we do work, it is critical that companies recognize that reskilling employees or replacing repetitive tasks with automation won’t provide the desired results. Instead, redefining work itself has the potential to expand value for workers and customers alike. This requires cultivating and drawing on intrinsic human capabilities to undertake work for fundamentally different purposes, rather than just to meet short-term productivity aims. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand what work is, and why it has been defined as such in the past. This article provides a chronology of the evolution of the notion of work and proposes a path forward towards a more holistic definition of this important human function.

Making Love – Intimate and Romantic

Making love is a very intimate act. It is a very emotional experience and it is usually done by couples who are in love. It can be one of the most important moments in a relationship and it shows a lot of commitment and care. This is why it can be such a rewarding experience for couples when they have the opportunity to make love together.

Some people may confuse’making love’ with ‘having sex’ because they are often used interchangeably. However, there is a big difference between the two. Making love is a very romantic and intimate act that is meant to bring couples closer together both physically and emotionally. Having sex is more about self-gratification and it can be a way to satisfy an orgasm.

‘Making love’ is an intimate process and it usually involves lots of touch, fondling, massage and kissing. It can also involve deep eye contact and a very intense sexual experience. In addition, making love can be more of a drawn out process that includes foreplay and is usually followed by passionate foreplay. The intimacy that is created during this time can be very healing for many couples.

Some of the things that help to create a loving and intimate environment for making love include dim lighting, soothing music, scented candles and clean sheets. It is also a good idea to dress in a romantic outfit that makes you feel confident and seductive. A dab of perfume can help to set the mood as well. In addition to this, it is important for the couple to spend some time alone before they get into bed. This is a great time to talk about their feelings and how they want to be loved during this time.

There is no right or wrong way to make love. Every couple has their own special ways of connecting and this is what makes it so unique. It is also important for a couple to communicate during making love so they can find the best way to connect with each other.

When a man is truly in love with you, he will do whatever it takes to make you happy during sex and he will do the same during making love. He will be very careful when he is stroking your body and will never hurt you during this time. He will also be very affectionate and tell you sweet and romantic things. He will always be checking in on you to see if you are feeling comfortable and if you are having a good time.

Ultimately, the difference between making love and having sex is a matter of personal preference and how the couple feels about each other. In order to be in love, you must have a strong emotional connection with the person that you are sharing these intimate moments with. Once you are sure of your feelings, it is much easier to express them through intimacy.

What Is a Bottle?

A bottle is a narrow-necked container of glass or other impermeable material of various shapes and sizes that stores and transports liquids. Bottles can be sealed with an internal stopper, an external bottle cap or closure and/or induction sealing. Bottles are used to package food and beverage, cosmetics and medicines as well as other items for general use. A wide variety of bottle materials exist, with glass and plastics being most common today. Bottles made from plastic are typically formed by blow-molding techniques utilizing either reheat and blow molding or co-extrusion blow molding. Bottles made from a combination of glass and plastic, known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are often found in beverage packaging as well as dry products like motor oil and shampoo.

A key distinction of bottles is their shape which can vary greatly depending on the intended use. Bottles can be shaped to be cylindrical, oval, ovoid or rectangular. The neck of the bottle can also be rounded, square or straight, a feature that is especially important to bottles designed to hold thick liquids such as beer and other spirits.

The bottle material can also differ significantly, with glass being the most common, though other materials are used including aluminum and some types of plastics. Aluminum is lightweight and strong, while PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a type of vinyl plastic which can be molded to make containers and is comparatively inexpensive. PVC can be recycled, but it is not as easily done as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic which is readily recycled.

Glass bottle manufacturing has evolved over time to include a number of different techniques and forming methods which create unique bottle characteristics. These can be seen in the variety of bottle shapes and materials that have been produced over the years.

Bottles are made from a mixture of raw materials that are heated in the glassmaking pot to a molten state, called batch. During the glassmaking process, a gather is taken from the bocca – an opening in the side of the furnace – and placed in the molds to form the body and neck of the bottle.

A specialized type of bottle, the calabash, was so named because it is shaped to resemble the hard shelled gourds of tropical American “calabash” trees – Crescentia cujete – of which there were many during the 1850-1870 period when these were popular bottle/flask forms (see Calabash Bottles/Flasks typology page). Other specialty bottles were often called carboys and are described on the Carboys/Demijohns typology page.

Embossing – raised lettering or designs on the surface of a bottle caused by incising on the mold surfaces during the glassmaking process (see Bottle Body Characteristics & Mold Seams and Embossing pages). See Plate for an illustration.

What Is Work?

Work is an integral part of our daily lives. It’s where we go to make a living, where we connect with others, and where we can find meaning. But work also changes us – for better or worse. It gives us discipline, wisdom, and skills. It lets us contribute to society, and it can help us achieve our goals and dreams. But it can also take our energy, sap our enthusiasm, and make us cynical. Work can shape the way we see others, directing our views toward them as problems to be solved or as means to our own ends.

Scientifically, work is force times distance. An object must be displaced for work to be done on it. Moreover, the relative direction of the force and displacement is what determines whether the work is positive, negative, or zero. If the direction of the displacement is the same as the force, the work is positive; if it is opposite to the force, the work is negative; and if the direction of the force is parallel to the displacement, the work is zero.

The SI unit of work is the joule (J), named after James Prescott Joule. One joule is the amount of work required to exert a force of 1 newton over a displacement of 1 meter. Other units of work are the watt-hour, kilowatt-hour, foot-pound, and erg.

In everyday life, there are many things that can be construed as work, such as studying for an exam or hauling heavy objects. However, the scientific definition of work reveals that it is actually the transfer of energy. The work that gravity does on a ball dropped from the top of a building is an example of this principle.

Depending on the nature of the work, the energy that is transferred can be either potential or kinetic. In some cases, the work can even be thermal or electrical in nature. In other words, the work can change the amount of potential energy in a mechanical system, the temperature in an electrical device, or the motion of a particle. The concept of work is thus very important to the field of physics.

How to Make Love Last a Lifetime

When a couple first falls in love, they often feel invincible. They think their relationship will last forever, and they will always be happy together. However, as the years pass, this happiness may start to fade and their love may begin to wane. Many couples wonder how to make love last a lifetime. Some experts say that prioritizing your partner and continuously working on your relationship can keep it strong and lasting for the long run. Others argue that it all comes down to communication and intimacy.

Many people confuse making love with sex, but there is a difference between the two. Sex is usually just about pleasure, but making love is more than that. It is about connecting with your partner emotionally and sexually. This can lead to more meaningful relationships and can help build trust between a couple.

When you are making love, you should try to focus on her feelings and what she enjoys. This will not only increase her pleasure, but it will also make her feel more connected to you. Try to make her gasp and moan in pleasure. This will signal that you are doing a good job. If she doesn’t respond, you should slow down and take it easy.

Another important part of making love is the foreplay. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as kissing and touching. Foreplay can help to build up the sexual tension and create a more intense experience. You can also use various positions during sex, such as the missionary position or the coital alignment technique (CAT position).

During foreplay, it is important to communicate with your partner. This will allow you to discuss your sexual fantasies and preferences. It will also make your partner more excited about sex. Make sure to speak softly and slowly, and avoid using harsh words.

Once you are ready for sex, make sure that you both use safe sex methods. You should also use lubricants to ensure that you both are comfortable and able to move freely during the sex.

After penetration, you can continue to make her happy by using varying strokes and changing the speed of the thrusts. You should also give her a lot of attention to the vaginal area. You can try stroking her with your fingers, and you can also try using your tongue to tease her.

It is also a good idea to maintain eye contact throughout the session. This will show that you are engaged and that you care about your partner. You can also start to whisper in her ear, which will add to the sensual experience. Finally, a kiss can be a great way to end the session and can help you to feel more connected to your partner.

What Is a Bottle?

A bottle is an impermeable container in various shapes and sizes that holds liquids or other substances. It is usually made of glass, an inorganic solid that is hard, brittle and impervious to the elements. Bottles are used to store and transport a variety of materials including food, chemicals and medicinal drugs. The bottle’s neck (also known as the nipple) can be sealed with an internal stopper or an external cap/closure to prevent leakage or spillage of its contents. Bottles can be categorized in many ways including color, size, shape, design and production method.

In addition to the basic chemical components of silica sand, sodium oxide and magnesium oxide, there are other materials often added to enhance the glass’s performance or appearance. These additives are typically in the form of a fine powder or granule. Glassmakers also often use decolorizing agents to neutralize the natural iron and carbonaceous impurities in their glass mixtures or batches.

These decolorizers are typically compounds such as arsenic, selenium and/or manganese dioxide. These are often added to the batch or mix in addition to sand, clay and other raw materials during the melting process. Decolorizing is an important step in the glassmaking process because it allows for the production of colorless, transparent or translucent glass.

The term bottle is generally associated with containers that hold liquids but it can also refer to other types of glassware as well. Bottles can be shaped by hand or by using an automatic bottle machine. Hand blown bottles can be shaped with or without the aid of a mold, with or without side and top seams and with or without a base. Machine shaped bottles can be identified by the presence of ghost seams, separate mold seams below and on top of the finish, and/or by the existence of a suction or glass cutoff scar on the bottle base. See the Machine-made Bottles portion of the Bottle Dating pages for more information.

A wide range of bottle types and designs have been produced over the years, from simple narrow-neck bottles to more elaborate apothecary bottles with elaborate nipples and collars. Most of these bottles have a printed label that can be either embossed or affixed with a sticker. A few of these bottles, however, were sold “labeled only” or were never labeled at all.

This glossary defines terms and acronyms that are specialized or of interest to bottle collectors. Some of the terminology is collector based, some is technical glassmaking jargon and some may be a combination of both.

Plate mold

A mold that accepts an engraved plate for embossing on a bottle – also referred to as a slug plate by collectors. Plate molds made proprietary bottles affordable by allowing bottle manufacturers to produce unique bottles for multiple customers without having to purchase expensive, uniquely designed glassware.

Baffle mark

A seam on a mouth-blown or machine-made bottle that marks the junction of the blank or parison mold and the baffle mold. It is sometimes mistaken for a suction or glass cutoff scar and may be joined by one or both. See the General Bottle Morphology page for more information.
