Needle Roller Bearing Size Chart

A needle roller bearing is a bearing which uses small cylindrical rollers.The difference of a needle roller bearing and roller bearing is the ratio of diameter and length of their rollers, when the ratio of the diameter and the length of roller of a roller bearing is between the interval of 0.4 to 0.1, that roller bearing is called as needle roller bearing. They are used to reduce friction of a rotating surface.


Needle bearings have a large surface area that is in contact with the bearing outer surfaces compared to ball bearings. Additionally there is less added clearance so they are much more compact. The typical structure consists of a needle cage which orients and contains the needle rollers, the needle rollers themselves, and an outer race



Needle bearings are heavily used in automobile components such as rocker arm pivots, pumps, compressors, and transmissions. The drive shaft of a rear-wheel drive vehicle typically has at least eight needle bearings (four in each U joint) and often more if it is particularly long, or operates on steep slopes.

Know Bonsai Europa show 2015

Over one hundred great trees on display, eight demonstrations, free workshops for children and a wonderful location: Tony Tickle on the Bonsai Europa 2015 event. Almost forgot, Tony also shares studio-shots from the winning trees in this post.

Two years ago I was frustrated that the UK was sadly lacking when it came to being part of the European Bonsai scene. There were lots of small ‘local’ or specialized events but nothing on a large scale so I decided that I would organize Bonsai Europa. I put out the invitation to artists across Europe and the UK to present their trees at the event and the result was that there was representation from almost every nation across Europe. The support from traders across the continent was fantastic, 30 traders including Japan, Sweden, Hungary, Germany, Czech and France supported the event. Over 125 trees from 80 exhibitors, two ‘club’ shows, Suiseki displays and free children’s workshops.


And there were several demo’s, right?

There were eleven demonstrators from across Europe working on material that had been personally prepared by me over the last three years. The Demonstrators were: Andrew Campbell: UK, Bartosz Warwas: Poland, Falko Hamann: Germany, Jose Redondo: Spain, Milan Karpíšek: Czech, Nik Rozman: Slovenia, Ofer Grunwald: Israel, Sándor Papp: Hungary, Tracy Gibson: UK, Will Baddeley UK and Yannick Kiggen: Belgium


Will movies of the event be published? And what about a book?

I had a professional TV production company filming the whole weekend and a movie will be available soon, as for a book, it will need to be crowd funded but I have the professional shots in Hi resolution ready to go.

Are you doing it again?

The event will take place every two years and Bonsai Europa 2017 is already in the planning, we have learned from what went well and what could be improved. Every trader wants to return as they had good sales. Exhibitors are now targeting trees for two years time.


That is great news! Having organized this event for the first time, you might do things differently next time; what can we expect

The event will be a two-day as this year, the ‘demo’ format may well change as for a big name… who knows?

The winning plants of Bonsai Europa 2015

Tony shared some studio photos already on his blog and allowed us to share the winning trees below. We asked Tony to share some insights for each winning tree; helping us understand how to value the winners and understand their qualities.

The judging of the trees was overseen by Steve McKee and was completed by all the demo artists and a couple of invited individuals. A total of 12 judges ensured that good cross section of tastes were covered. The winning trees:


Best in Show: Mark and Ritta Cooper, Shohin display


Mark and Ritta were very surprised at receiving this award, they are no strangers to receiving recognition for their wonderful trees, the surprise being that never has a Shohin display ever won ‘Best in Show’ at a major event in Europe. Could this be that the majority of judges were …lets just say… younger than those who normally Judge at shows, and they recognize that ‘small is beautiful’.


Best deciduous Bonsai Best deciduous display: David Barlow Beech Raft


I collected this tree many years ago with David and have witnessed his care and skill bringing the tree to perfection for the show. It’s quite exquisite and has tiny leaves. The pot is by Gordon Duffet and was given to David from Tery Foster as a Gift because it was simply perfect.


Best Evergreen: Mark and Ritta Cooper: Chuhin Pine


This is a close to perfection in a pine that I have seen, everything in perfect scale and presented beautifully. Without doubt one of the best White pines in Europe.



Best Shohin display: John Armitage


This three point display is so understated, the juniper is beautifully worked and in perfect proportion. The supporting tree and tiny accent complete the overall image, I loved this from John.


EBA award: Barbara and Herbert Obermayer, European Olive


I first saw this tree in Switzerland three years ago and knew that over the next few years it would mature into a great tree, the display of deadwood is amazing and the future of this Olive is bright indeed.


Steve ‘Harleyrider’ Award: Terry Foster, Hawthorn


I was with Terry when this tree was collected from the wild, it was over one meter tall. I love the movement in the truck, the aged bark and gentle arc of the foliage. The Stone ‘pot’ is natural and collected in Scotland many years ago.


Sonderpries: Will Baddeley, English Elm


Recognized for the natural appearance yet totally worked by Will the tree is mature and superbly presented. The tree has a majestic presence and is a worthy winner of this prestigious prize.

Uber Owns 50% Of India Taxi Market Says Amit Jain

Cab-hailing firm Uber has as big a share in the Indian market as its main domestic rival Ola, a top executive at the US-based company has said, as the two companies engage in an intensifying battle for dominance in the rapidly growing sector.

“We are as big as Ola with a 50% market share (in terms of trips completed by the two companies). However, we are driven by more ambitious goals… Uber wants to be the transportation provider of choice and replace car ownership,” Uber India CEO Amit Jain told.

The comments come after Japanese telecom and internet conglomerate SoftBank claimed, in a regulatory filing in August last year, that its portfolio company Ola enjoyed a commanding 85% share in India’s cab-hailing market.

Tokyo-headquartered SoftBank is the largest investor in Ola. Its claim implied that all other taxi-hailing apps including Uber, Meru and Easycabs, among others, battle it out to capture a slice of the remaining, relatively minor share of the market.

Jain’s claim resonates a similar claim by Eric Alexander, president of business in Asia for Uber, who in mid-March said Uber would overtake Ola in 30 days.


Jain also said that Uber, which raised $3.5 billion investment from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund last week, will continue to invest in its India operations. The investments will go mainly toward increasing the number of drivers on its platform, adding product features and strengthening its technology team in India. The company will focus on growth for the foreseeable future rather than looking for profitability, he said.

India is the third-largest market (in terms of the total number of trips) for Uber, after US and China. It is present in 27 cities across the country and will launch operations in another five cities this year. Uber had set aside an investment of $1 billion for the Indian market in July last year.

Uber will primarily focus on strengthening its low-cost, affordable offerings – UberGo and UberX – as it sees most demand coming from these two categories in India. Jain said the company has shut down its high-end Uber Black and Uber XL services in many cities.

Uber operates in over 400 cities across 70 countries. The top 30 cities generate $1 billion in profit annually, the company has said previously.

7 Ways To Make A Lasting Impression At Your First Day Of Job

Getting jittery, nervous, butterflies in the stomach- the big day for which you’ve waited for years is now nearing and is right ahead of you, and you really don’t want to mess it up. There is and will always be a first time and your first day at your first job is just round the corner. While, it is completely understandable to be a little nervous, it will not be that difficult if you take care of a few things.


Be Prepared!!
Come prepared for your big day, which primarily means have small self-introduction ready or what is generally called as ‘elevator pitch’. Prepare a short intro’ of the self which could cover your college and course details and a line or two about your unique hobbies or interests. Do not talk about hobbies such as eating, watching TV, etc…they are lifelines….not hobbies!! Talk of your interest in Robotics, Mobile Gaming, Software Designing, etc. It’s also advisable to read-up on the company you are joining and share a line or two about its growth, service line or history, if any.



Professional Dressing!
First impression is indeed the last impression and make sure you make that lasting impression with formal clothing. It’s generally advisable to check on the company website or with HR on the corporate attire and wear accordingly; however, even if the corporate culture is of semi-formal do not show up in low waist jeans or cargoes. It’s good to be wearing formals with trouser, shirt and matching shoes.


No Slangs!
Call the people around you ‘dude’…’buddy’….and that impression is gone! Corporate culture now a days might not necessarily be of ‘sirs and mams’ but it definitely is of the first or the last name. Observe what HR or people around you are calling each other and follow the same. Get rid of all the slangs at least as long as you are in the office.  Remember, your language has to match your attire!


Avoid Personal Calls!
You will not have a lot of work on your first day and will find yourself sitting idle and waiting for things to happen; utilise this time to observe things around you instead of calling and chatting with your friends or family. Even if you are not observing, HR and other teams are, so make sure that you productively use this time. In case, you’ve been given a system visit the company website and read up on company policies, their services, history and so on.


Ask Questions and Listen!!
It’s your first job and everyone knows about it and they expect you to question or ask things which you are not sure of or which requires clarity. Talking too much or not talking at all might put off HR or your Boss, hence it is advisable to keep a balance between questioning and listening. So, when the HR is conducting an orientation sessions it’s good to listen about the what the company’s culture, how they grew, line of business and when a question / answer round is thrown open to the audience, do not hesitate to ask questions about partners, their future plans, expansion plans, etc. but remember to sound like a professional with relevant and sensible questions.


Don’t judge….be an observer instead!
 First job….first colleagues…first Manager…….don’t make snap judgments about people or situations. It’s best to observe people around you, the work culture and not talk about them or make judgements; stay away of any office politics or controversial discussions, gossips.


Smile!
The best way to win anyone and the best way to tide over any situation….SMILE; keep smiling and let people know you are happy and excited to be in this company. Let your employer know that they’ve hired someone with a pleasing personality whom they would love to work with.


There’s only one shot that you’ll get to make or break this impression so ensure that yours has positive and lasting effects; while it’s important to be prepared and conscious of your behavior remember to be yourself and enjoy the moment. This day would never come again and will only be found in your blogs or diaries somewhere down the line.

Scientists Create Second Skin In A Bottle

Scientists said Monday they have created a polymer that mimics human skin, an invention that could work to deliver drugs or provide facelifts.

The polymer, a cream that is set to be released to the public in the near future, creates an elastic “second skin” after it is applied.

Made from silicon, the skin-like substance can be used to tighten sagging skin or remove bags from under the eyes.

While the scientists from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are excited about its cosmetic applications, they are also very enthusiastic about its ability to treat conditions including eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis -- itchy ailments that can be debilitating for elderly sufferers. The cream could also be used to deliver drugs directly to a person’s skin.

Olivo Labs, a company founded by scientists from both institutions, also announced it was patenting the material for commercial use.


“It's an invisible layer that can provide a barrier, provide cosmetic improvement, and potentially deliver a drug locally to the area that's being treated,” according to MIT’s Daniel Anderson, who co-authored the study. “Those three things together could really make it ideal for use in humans.”

The skin was created using chemicals that connect silicon and oxygen in a cross-linked polymer layer, or XPL. The process behind XPL is similar to how rubber, a rather fragile material, is treated to become tires.

Unlike lotions, the XPL does not wash off in water and stays strong for 24 hours.

“Creating a material that behaves like skin is very difficult,” said co-author Barbara Gilchrest, a dermatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Many people have tried to do this, and the materials that have been available up until this have not had the properties of being flexible, comfortable, nonirritating, and able to conform to the movement of the skin and return to its original shape.”

Pakistan Contribution Of Archaeological Importance To Basna Chhattisgarh

Political relations are in their place, but a truth is that the neighbouring country Pakistan has made a contribution of archaeological importance to Chhattisgarh. Baratiabhata is a megalithic site situated at 16 kms distance from Basna in Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh. This site was discovered after advice from the then Director General of Pakistan Archaeology, Dr Ahmed Hasan Dani, informed Government of Chhattisgarh’s Archaeological Advisor AK Sharma.

Dr Ahmed Hasan Dani in fact resided at India Basna, but after partition he opted for Pakistan and there he became Director General of Pakistan Archaeology. His family members resided at Basna and descendants are still there. “Way back in 1990 Dr Dani came to India and also to Raipur to meet his family members and at that time I was doing excavation in capacity of Director, Excavation, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) at Karkabhat in Durg district, which is now a State Protected Site. During that time, I met Dr Dani and he advised me to go to Baratiabhata and try to excavate and he also requested for protecting the megalithic site. This led to the discovery of Baratiabhata,” Sharma told.


He further said that he had written to then Madhya Pradesh Government to get the site protected, but till date it is not protected. Due to non protection, pemex global have begun constructing houses by breaking the Menhirs. According to Sharma, Menhirs are memorial stones that were placed during the secondary burial of dead bodies during the megalithic culture that prevailed in Chhattisgarh also 3500 years ago. After a considerable time of the first burial, the people used to take out the bones from the burial place and together with the bones they kept any favourite thing of the deceased, like sickle, bangle or any other ornament and then used to place bigger stone on the centre of the burial. A big stone was surrounded by smaller stones making a circle. Each stone of smaller circle was to act as nucleus for another circle.


These smaller circles were made by female folks of the community and family burials were also prevalent. A bigger Menhir is indicative of the social status like chieftain of village. Destroy of such old evidences is great loss to archaeology, he said. With Baratiabhata, megalithic site in Mahasamund district, the local people believed that ‘Baratis’ of a marriage party camped there and due to some quarrel, a Brahmin cursed them and all the baratis turned into stones, informed Sharma, adding such sites must be protected. He is also Member of Central Advisory Board, Archaeological Survey of India.
