2010 “World machine tool production and consumption survey” shows that the overall global metal processing manufacturing industry out of recession. Over the past two years, the growth of production fluctuations. In 2009, the world’s 28 major countries and regions in the output value production was down 32%. In 2010, the major producing countries and regions, economic recovery, the global machine tool manufacturing industry output value reached 66.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 21%. The “World machine tool production and consumption survey” includes a manufacturing industry and has statistics of 28 countries and regions, the production is cover 95% of world output and consumption.

According to the European Machine Tool Industry Council (CECIMO) statistics, in 2010, CECIMO production in the Member States Total 166 million euros, compared with the same period in 2009 declined slightly by 1%. In this regard, CECIMO Economic Committee Chairman Frank Brinken that with the release of production orders, industrial output in 2011 is expected to double-digit growth, the European market will enter a stable and sustainable growth phase, 2013 will likely reach a new peak.

CECIMO Member States in 2010 exports of tools 12.3 billion euros, accounting for total output value of 3 / 4. As for consumption, compared with 2009 and 2008, apparent consumption in Europe has been declining for two consecutive years. In addition, in 2010, the European machine tool production about the world’s total output of 1/3, while in 2009 their share was 43%, showing that the European machine tool market has shown a significant decline, the European machine tool industry is facing tremendous challenges. In this regard, CECIMO urged the EU to further open markets in Asia, anti-competitive conduct will not help restore the European market share.

By the international financial crisis in 2009, China, Brazil, Russia, India’s exports of metalworking machine has fallen sharply. Into 2010, due to the Asian region and emerging economies over Europe and the United States took the lead out of the woods, market structure of China’s machine exports also will change significantly. Plastic mold and metal according to the International Association of Permanent Secretary for Industry Supply Luo Baihui that the Chinese machine exports to the BRIC countries, the sharp rebound in Brazil, Russia, India’s exports are the top 10. First half of 2010, China’s exports of metalworking machine in India surpassed the United States, 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 7.4% of total exports of machine; on Brazil, Russia, exports increased more than 80% were, respectively, on top In the sixth and fourteenth up to the third and eighth. ASEAN regional markets continue to be optimistic, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia to China Dengjun the top 15 export markets, exports surpassed 2008 levels. Especially in CNC machine tool exports to Myanmar in recent years the rapid growth of exports in 2009 increased up to 6 times more than in 2010, has doubled.

China for many years been the world’s largest machine tool consumer and importer. Plastic mold and metal according to the International Association of Permanent Secretary for Industry Supply Luo Baihui, the global consumption of 10 machines each, nearly 5 in China. With the vigorous development of China’s manufacturing industry, the demand for production equipment soared. In 2002, China became the world’s largest consumer and maintain so far. Large amount of China’s machine imports, from 2002 to 2005 China imported machine consumption in the average of 62%. 2006-2010, part of China’s domestic enterprises and foreign enterprises to gradually expand the market share in China. In 2009, China became the world’s largest producer of machine tools. China’s machine tool industry in 2010 to maintain the rapid growth in the share of world output and 35%; China’s consumption up 43% year, accounting for 28 major producing countries and regions, 48% of the total consumption. In 2010, China’s exports grew 31%, with exports amounting to 1.85 billion, ranking sixth. However, the Chinese exports accounted for only 9% of its GDP, which indicates that China’s domestic market demand is quite strong.

According to China Association of Machine Tool Industry Statistics, 2010, China, Japan, Germany among the world’s top three machine production. Japan’s machine industry has experienced a serious recession in 2009, fully rebound, the second largest producer of machine to return to the position. German manufacturing output continued to decline in 2010, but still ranked third. U.S. machine manufacturing output has continued to decline, has dropped the world’s eighth, is located in Italy, South Korea, Switzerland and other countries later.10 years ago, the United States is the world’s largest machine tool consumer, consumption is much higher than the second place was Germany, but the U.S. machine consumption has been declining since 2010, spending 2.75 billion, down 15%. In the exports, Japan, Germany, Italy ranked 3 2010, its exports account for production are in the 66% ratio. In 2010, the global consumption in the top five were China, Germany, Japan, Korea and Italy. Among them, Korea and Japan have achieved double-digit growth year on year. Differences in per capita consumption large, Switzerland remains the world per capita consumption of metalworking than any other country. In the mean time, product of china are low add value products, such as roll forming machines, or some area refer to roll forming areas, because of the ratio of quality of price, it indeed work well. But it is still a long way to through, not just for roll former but the whole machine tool industry.

Dubai, UAE: Property in Dubai reached new heights this month as residential development ‘The Torch’ at Dubai Marina officially became the world’s tallest residential building.

Developed by Select Group, one of the largest private property developers in the United Arab Emirates, The Torch beat the Q1 Tower on the Gold Coast of Australia by just twenty five metres when its completion was announced earlier this month.

Designed by award winning architects Khatib and Alami, ‘The Torch’ rises 351 metres (1152 feet) into the Dubai sky. The tower has 86 floors containing a total of 676 apartments along with a gym, a sauna, a steam room and an eight level garage.

It is the only one hundred percent residential project ever to break the world’s tallest tower record; under Guinness Book of Records regulations towers must be made up of ninety percent or more residential units to be eligible for the title.

“The Torch, a defining landmark of Dubai Marina skyline, offering stunning views across the Jumeirah beachfront, is a sold out property and a testimony to Select Group’s continuing commitment to Dubai and the potential of its property sector as it gradually emerges from the shadows of the impact of the global financial crisis,” commented Mr. Rahail Aslam, CEO of Select Group.

“This is a milestone for the Group and we are proud to be contributing to the list of global firsts Dubai has achieved over the years. We would like to position The Torch as our tribute to this cosmopolitan city which despite the downturn in the real estate sector and fluctuations in the economy has shown resilience to weather the extreme economic downturn,” he added.

The Torch is the latest development to be completed by Select Group at Dubai Marina. Others include; The Point which was completed in 2009 and reaches a height of 125 metres with 27 floors and 188 apartments; and Botanica, a 41 floor development made up of 360 residential units.

Despite the difficulties faced by property developers during the global economic downturn, Select Group has reported their properties at Dubai Marina are already enjoying up to 85 percent occupancy this year.

Prices at The Torch start from US5,000 for a one bedroom apartment with a balcony and views spanning the length of the Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach.

The panels

The New World Tapestry, which in its entirety measures 267 ft x 4 ft (81.3 m x 1.2 m), consists of twenty four panels, each of which depicts the narrative of a particular phase in the period between 1583 and 1642.

Each panel measures 11 ft x 4 ft (3.4m x 1.2m).

The figures of the tapestry are rendered in an unmistakably modern, cartoon-like style, but it also follows in the tradition of Tudor and Jacobean canvas work embroidery. The panels are worked in gobelin stitch which entirely covers the ground, and along with pictures of the main scenes of the story, the panels also feature birds, animals, flowers and insects all beautifully worked in bold colours.

The creation of the tapestry

The designer was Tom Mor, who also designed the Plymouth Tapestry at Prysten House, Plymouth, the Adventurers for Virginia (London) Tapestry, and was the consultant on the Jersey Liberation Tapestry (St Helier, Channel Islands) and the Plympton Tapestry (Plympton, Devon). The panel was researched by Tom Mor, Tom Maddock, Paul Presswell and Freda Simpson. Chief tapissiers were Joan Roncarelli and Rene Harvey. A New World Tapestry Website has been developed as of December 2008 and will soon include 120 pages, showing all complete panels.

Research for the New World Tapestry twenty four panels began in 1980. Tom Mor was joined by Tom Maddock, a retired friend from Ivybridge. Over the months they travelled hundreds of miles together, researching the two hundred sixty four people who would be named on the tapestry. Heraldic expert Paul Presswell of Buckfastleigh identified all the Coats of Arms of the people, colleges and companies involved. The result has been the creation alongside the tapestry of a library of files on each person and a collection of reference books of great use to researchers, scholars and teachers.

Two hundred sixty four armorial shields run along the top and bottom tapestry borders throughout its length, alternating with illustrations of the same number of flowers of herbs, medicinal plants, trees and shrubs. The latter are shown because the colonists took ointments and cure-alls with them on their voyages and plant hunters returned with such things as the potato and tobacco.

All the flowers and florets depicted were drawn from nature by Tom Mor, who studied them under a watchmaker glass. He was helped from the very early days by Freda Simpson of Plymouth, who was passionately interested in herbs and old herbal remedies. She identified and gave him over 230 flower specimens in the years that Mor lived with his wife and family in Plymouth. Later they moved to Cambridge were he was able to complete the set of 264 drawings with the help of Clive King and Caroline Lawes of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, Lady Jane Renfrew of Lucy Cavendish College and Alison Davies, Monica Stokes and Edna Norman.

The stitchers

Tom Mor could not have seen his canvasses brought to life without the help of his friends and the expertise of the dedicated tapissiers. When the very first stitch was made in the New World Tapestry in 1980, the team working in Prysten House numbered 20. By the time the last stitch was made in March 2000, the number of tapissiers had increased to 256 with the addition of another eight centres. In Devon there was a second in Plymouth at HMS Drake (the Royal Navy panel), Ivybridge, Chillington, Exeter, Bideford, Totnes and Tiverton Castle. Dorset Tapestry centre was in the Guildhall at Lyme Regis and it was there that the Great Gardeners and Herbalists panel was stitched.

The first Oblique Gobelin stitch was made on 26 September 1980 in Prysten House in Plymouth, by U.S. Ambassador the Hon. Kingman Brewster. The coat of arms of His Excellency’s ancestor, Pilgrim leader William Brewster, appears on the 1620 Mayflower Panel.

The last Oblique Gobelin stitch was made by HRH Prince Charles on 3 March 2000 in the Orchard Room of his home at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. Most fittingly, with his interest in history and a keen gardener himself, the Prince put his golden wool stitch in the date of the 1642 Great Gardeners and Herbalists Panel.

Stitches have also been added by HM the Queen, HM the Queen Mother, HRH Prince Philip, HRH the Princess Royal and HRH the Duchess of Gloucester.

The Library

The New World Tapestry Library material includes histories of the years 1583-1642, much of it original research, files on the two hundred sixty four people named on the tapestry, plus heraldic information on over three hundred individuals, companies, towns, counties and universities.

Supporters

Supporters of the New World Tapestry include the Adventurers for Virginia patrons of the New World Tapestry and Library. Their names are inscribed for posterity in the Adventurers for Virginia Record Book. Supporters who join the Adventurers for Virginia may also:

It wouldn’t be wrong to say that rare earth magnets have taken the world by sweep of innovation, invention and creation. It is not an old story when CRT TVs were introduced and later huge pack of inventions followed up.

The trend all started from CRT TVs which later laid the innovations in various updates like colored TVs, Plasma displays, LCDs, 3D-LEDs, etc. There are some permanent magnets which mostly shelter in Power meters, DC or AC motors, engines, welding equipments, etc.

Neodymium magnet is mostly seen being used in newly launched products with linked in innovations. This magnet does come with a variety of shapes. In accordance with application types, it comes in disc, circular, spherical, cubical, cylindrical shapes, etc.

Rare earth magnet can be used for variety of purposes. As mentioned earlier they can be used for scientific invention, apart from that you can use this wonderful piece as a toy, decoration piece, holding device, conversation piece, binders, brochure closures, homemade compass and many others.

Other than above mentioned uses, these wonderful magnets can be used as welding clamp, stud or screw finder, metal detector cabinet locker and many more.

Most often it is used for scientific experiments. The experiments like levitation have a great importance for rare earth magnet. Permanent magnet levitators are widely liked not only for experiments but also for fun and gifts.

Sewing magnet is yet another enticing feature of these rare earth magnets. They can be sewn adjacent to apparels or in the pockets. Purses also include these in the form of clasps. One vital plus side of these magnets is that the credit cards do not face any sort or wear or abrasion behaviour from them.

But, there are rare magnets which can erase the data from many devices. Like some rare magnets can specifically be used to erase the data from any old hard disk without any problem. So care should be taken while dealing magnets and sensitive data devices.

The word ‘machine’ is derived from a Latin word ‘machina’. A machine is a device that is used to perform any task. It is a device with some parts attached to it that perform or directs in performing a particular task. A person who is an expert in machines is known as a machinist. A place, room or building where machining is done is known as machine shops. Latest trends and technology has also brought about a drastic change in controlling machines. Earlier machines were controlled by human labor by now it is controlled by computer numerical control which is an abbreviation of CNC.

Nowadays large numbers of machine shops have switched to CNC machine shops. Some shops are specialized in producing only one type of products whereas; others accommodate for mass production like aerospace industry, automotive industry and furniture making etc.

CNC machine shops have allowed businesses to expand and provide services which they could never think of before the introduction of CNC machine. The biggest advantage of these shops is that they are precise and provide multiple shapes with minimum wastage.

It is always better to seek services from a CNC shop then to invest in establishing your own CNC milling department. This will be cost effective since you will be saving a whole bundle of money which you would have spent in buying and owing your own CNC shop. It is always better to take advantage from CNC machine shops available as they have already invested a lot of money in buying the desired equipments.

Another advantage of getting your work done from CNC shops is that your department will not have to sit idle when there is no work regarding such machines. This will be a waste of money since your employees will not be working on a daily basis but you will have to pay them salary for the entire month.

Even though the machines are self controlled, safety measures must be taken seriously to avoid any accidents or mishaps. These machines do not produce a lot of noise and wastage but even then the operators are advised to wear safety goggles and earplugs.

CNC machine shops require expert operators to control the machine. These operators usually have a desk job, they write programs which help the machine to operate effectively and efficiently. Any mistake in the program will result in producing defective products.

Even though the machines are self controlled they still need a set of instructions to work effectively, appropriate tools to produce the desired outcome, placement of raw material is very essential to obtain the desired outcome and last but not the least an operator to push the start button to start the machine.

In a CNC machine shop it is very important to make sure that the employees are trained and up to date with the latest technologies. Each employee must meet the standards of the company in order to ensure that the products that are produced are of high quality.

CNC machine shops provide their clients with unique services which no other machine shop can offer unless they have the same equipment and tools.
