Driveshaft 
 A driveshaft, drive shaft, driving shaft, propeller shaft, or Cardan shaft is a part of a machine that takes power from the engine or motor to a place where useful work can be done.
Driveshaft 
 This can be from an internal combustion engine (as in a car), water driving a water wheel, or gas or water going through a turbine.
Driveshaft 
 A light drive shaft will more efficiently move the power to the load, so there needs to be a balance between strength and weight.
Driveshaft 
 There is also a drive shaft running the length of the car, from the transmission up front to the differential in the back - in British English this is not called a drive shaft, but a propeller shaft, or prop-shaft, and the drive shafts may be called half shafts (since there are two that make one axle).
Driveshaft 
 The Slip in Tube Drive shaft is the new type which helps absorb energy in a crash, protecting the people in the car or truck.
Driveshaft 
 Many motorcycles use a simpler chain or belt drive instead, but drive shafts need less care, and have a long life.
Driveshaft 
 A problem with using drive shafts on a motorcycle is that gearing is needed to turn the power 90° from the shaft to the rear wheel, losing some power in the process.
Driveshaft 
 It can be connected to any farm equipment that needs power from the tractor engine, such as a hay baler or corn chopper.
Driveshaft 
 This lets the tractor be used for a lot of different uses, and the farm equipment doesn't need its own engine, saving money.
Driveshaft 
 Less care is needed than on a chain system when the drive shaft is enclosed in a tube, the common convention
Driveshaft 
 Dynamic Bicycles claims that a drive shaft bicycle consistently delivers 94% efficiency, whereas a chain-driven bike can deliver anywhere from 75-97% efficiency based on condition.

Ahmadiyya 
 Ahmadiyya (), fully known as Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is an Islamic movement founded in the 19th Century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad who claimed to be the Mahdi and Promised Messiah.
Ahmadiyya 
 In 1914, the movement split into two different groups, over a question of who should become the next Caliph.
Ahmadiyya 
 In addition to being a Mahdi, he was also called the Mujaddid (divine reformer) of the 14th Islamic century and the promised Messiah.
Ahmadiyya 
 Ahmadis consider themselves Muslims and claim to practice the Islam that was taught and practised by Muhammad and his followers.
Ahmadiyya 
 Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founded the movement in 1889 and named it the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat (Community).
Ahmadiyya 
 The original Ahmadiyya movement split into two separate groups after the death of Nooruddin, the first successor of Ghulam Ahmad.
Ahmadiyya 
 The original Ahmadiyya movement split into two separate groups, after the death of Nooruddin, the first successor of Ghulam Ahmad.
Ahmadiyya 
 These movements are the Ahmadiyya Community and the smaller Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement for the Propagation of Islam (Ahmadiyya Anjuman Ishaat-i-Islam, AAIIL).
Ahmadiyya 
 They also have different opinions on the status of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and his successor, and how this person should be chosen.
Ahmadiyya 
 The larger faction of the Ahmadiyya Movement, known as the Ahmadiyya Community is active in 190 countries of the world.
Ahmadiyya 
 The smaller faction, known as the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement, is active in 17 countries of the world.
Ahmadiyya 
 The International Headquarters of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement is in the town of Lahore, Pakistan where the Lahore Movement started.
Ahmadiyya 
 Within Lahore, Pakistan, are the "Ahmadiyya Buildings Lahore" which act as the international administrative base for the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement.
Ahmadiyya 
 Controversial points include the Ahmadiyya view on the death and return of Jesus and their concept of Jihad.
Ahmadiyya 
 The members of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement are not subject to such criticism because they do not believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a prophet.
Ahmadiyya 
 Ahmadis (particularly the members of the International Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) argue that their beliefs are in accordance with Islam, and by using arguments from the Qur'an, Hadith and opinion of Islamic jurists and theologians, challenge the contention of the groups calling them non-Muslims.
Ahmadiyya 
 They broadcast globally on their 24-hour satellite television channels such as MTA 1, MTA 2, MTA 3, and a recently introduced MTA Africa.
Ahmadiyya 
 Ahmadis have provided teachers, doctors and humanitarian relief workers in many developing countries.
Ahmadiyya 
 The fourth Caliph, Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad helped to promote homeopathy as a system of medicine by training practitioners through a regular TV class and establishing many free dispensaries around the world.
Ahmadiyya 
 The Ahmadiyyas are regarded as heretics by the orthodox Muslims because Mirza Ghulam Ahmad proclaimed himself the Mahdi of Islam as well as the second coming of Jesus.
Ahmadiyya 
 In addition, Ahmadis also differ on the interpretation of the Finality of Prophethood (, khātaman nabiyyīn) where orthodox Muslim consider Muhammad to be the last Prophet, in contrast to the Ahmadiyya view, where Muhammad is considered as the final law-bearing prophet.
Ahmadiyya 
 Thus, the majority of Muslims do not refer to the Ahmadis by this name, but use the derogative term 'Qadianis' (referring to Qadian, India, the birthplace of Ahmad) and Mirzai (referring to Mirza Ahmad).
Ahmadiyya 
 These terms are used as Ahmadis are considered 'unworthy' of using the name Ahmad, an alternative name for Muhammad and therefore it is considered derogative, as it is to refer to Muslims as 'Muhammadans'.
