Clutch is a mechanical device used to connect Driving and Driven shaft so that the driven shaft can be started and stopped at the will of an operator, without stopping Driving shaft.
Application – Most widely used in Automobiles.
Clutches are classified as follows:-
The function of a governor is to regulate the mean speed of an engine, under the variations in load. Governor as the name indicates “Govern”, “regulate” and “control”.
Basic view of a Governor.
When the load on an engine increases, the speed of an engine decreases and therefore engine would need more working fluid. So then governor supplies the amount of working fluid needed.
When the load on an engine decreases, the speed of an engine increases and then the amount of fluid supply is cut-off so as to maintain mean speed of an engine.

A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the amount of fuel (or working fluid) admitted, so as to maintain a near constant speed whatever the load or fuel supply conditions. It uses the principle of proportional control.
When the load on an engine increases, speed decreases then the working fluid supply increases. And vice versa when the load on an engine decreases.

There are reports all over the web complaining that the Paypal withdrawals to Indian Bank accounts between Feb 19 to Feb 24 are not being processed.
I myself made a withdrawl on Feb 27th which is not yet completed.
Electronic transfers to your Bank account usually take 5-7 business days to process. Holidays and weekends are not recognized as business days for most banking facilities, which may result in a delay in your banking transactions.Usually, for me it takes about 2 business days to get the money.. but this time it is not yet completed even on the seventh day.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - In its first substantive action on Syria's five-month-old uprising, the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday overcame deep divisions and condemned Damascus' bloody crackdown on civilian protesters.
The only dissenter in the council was Lebanon, where Syrian influence is strong. Beirut disassociated itself from a formal statement, agreed by the other 14 members, that backers said helped to isolate the Syrian leadership.
The statement, read out to a council meeting by Indian Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, this month's president of the body, "condemns widespread violations of human rights and the use of force against civilians by the Syrian authorities."
The document, agreed after three days of hard bargaining instead of a full council resolution that the West would have preferred, urged Damascus to fully respect human rights and comply with its obligations under international law.
It called for "an immediate end to all violence and urges all sides to act with utmost restraint, and to refrain from reprisals, including attacks against state institutions."
That phrase was a gesture to Russia and other countries that had called for a balanced statement that would apportion to blame to both sides for the violence in the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. Syria says it faces opposition by armed extremists.
Lebanese envoy Caroline Ziade told the council the Western-drafted statement "does not help in addressing the current situation in Syria." Statements are meant to be unanimous, meaning Lebanon could have blocked it, but by simply disassociating itself Beirut allowed the statement to pass.
The statement was adopted as the White House hardened its stance against Assad. Spokesman Jay Carney said the Syrian leader was "the cause of instability" in the country.
"The Assad regime has been counting on the fact that the Security Council would be unable to speak ... and that they would have protectors and defenders that would make it impossible for ... condemnation to emerge," said U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice. "And surely they must be quite surprised and disappointed by the outcome."
WEEKS OF FRUSTRATION
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the statement "shows that President Assad is increasingly isolated," while French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe called it "a turning-point in the attitude of the international community."
A resolution drafted by West European countries had been languishing in the Security Council for two months, blocked by opposition from Syrian allies Russia and China.
The Europeans resurrected it this week, galvanized by the violence in the Syrian city of Hama. Syrian tanks on Wednesday occupied the main square in central Hama, where rights campaigners say the death toll now stands at more than 90 since Assad launched a military assault on the city on Sunday.
Russia and its supporters eventually agreed to Security Council action but insisted that it be just a statement, which carries less clout than a resolution, diplomats said.
The statement ends weeks of frustration for Western nations, which had faced a threatened veto of their resolution by Russia and China and had been unable to persuade temporary council members Brazil, India and South Africa to support it.
Russia had argued that it did not want a repeat of a March 17 council resolution on Libya that was cited by Western countries as justification for air strikes on the forces of leader Muammar Gaddafi. Moscow said that was an abuse of the terms of the resolution.
The bloodshed in Hama appeared to have broken the logjam in the council, diplomats said. The agreeing of the statement signaled limits to Russia's backing for Damascus as the death toll in Syria passes 1,600, according to rights activists.
The statement contains no provision for sanctions or other punitive measures against Syria, nor does it call for a referral of Syrian leaders to the International Criminal Court, as some human rights groups have demanded.
The only future action provided for is a request to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to report back to the council within seven days on the situation in Syria. It does not specify what follow-up there might be to his report.
British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, however, said the Security Council "will continue to watch the situation closely and to consider further action as necessary ... So, we expect to see a change in the approach of the Syrian regime."
Reliance last week put a ban on filehsaring websites so that they can stop privacy of their home production Singham.
but now it seems like they have lifted the ban up. Now reliance users can open these websites without any proxy or anything.
Reliance Rockzz
I was just doing my normal browsing facebook and all, then i found a download link for a video from a file sharing site Mediafire. When clicked on it, found that its not opening. Says “Server no found” . After that i tried downloading from other filesharing websites like Rapidshare, megaupload, hotfile and all other popular FIlesharing Websites.
Scorched internet to know whether it is me only or there are more like me. Then i found that Airtel and reliance communication both had blocked Filesharing sites so that to stop privacy of their Upcoming Movie ‘’Singham “.
Nice way, but quite a disappointment. Its a shame for them only. As they just shut the whole fileshare system down for the cause.
Hope enginners sitting at these two communication firms would use their brain more instead of their greeds.
I would be back with more contexts like this.

RAMALLAH, Palestinian Territories — The Palestinians have called on the United States to reverse course and support their United Nations membership bid, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat said on Wednesday.
Erakat, speaking at a news conference in Ramallah, said the Palestinians had been in touch with Washington after a meeting of the Middle East peacemaking Quartet this week that failed to produce a final joint statement.
"In the aftermath of the Quartet meeting, yesterday we urged the United States administration to revisit, reassess, re-evaluate its position vis-a-vis our attempt to gain Palestine admittance to the UN," he said.
The Quartet meeting on Monday, which brought together representatives from the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia, was intended to discuss potential peace initiatives that could head off the Palestinian UN bid.
But the talks ended with no joint statement and no action plan, a sign the grouping remains divided on how to move forward.
The Palestinians say they will not return to the negotiating table without a freeze on settlement construction and clear parameters for new talks, including that any borders will be based on the lines that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, with mutually agreed land swaps.
But Israel has rejected any new settlement moratorium, and says setting preconditions for talks prejudges the substance of negotiations.
The stalemate has left the Palestinians more determined to seek UN membership at a meeting of the General Assembly in September, despite Washington's explicit opposition to the move.
"We have been told by the Americans many times that they'll use a veto at the Security Council against our bid for admittance and we were told that at the General Assembly if we pursue that line at there'll be consequences," Erakat said.
"Without Security Council approval, we cannot get admittance by the General Assembly," he said, adding the Palestinians could however seek to have their status upgraded to a non-member state by the General Assembly.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas is scheduled to meet on Thursday in Qatar with Arab representatives to discuss the legal aspects of the UN bid.
The Palestinians have insisted they do not see the plan as contradicting new peace talks.
But Erakat said he did not believe the Israeli government would agree to set parameters for negotiations, or accept using the pre-Six Day War lines as the basis for negotiations.
"I don't think we'll hear this from this government," he said.
BRUSSELS, July 13 (Xinhua) -- NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Wednesday that it's time to find political solution on Libyan issue.
The political solution should be "led by Libyans, supported by the international community, and fulfilling the legitimate demands of the Libyan people -- as the United Nations Security Council demanded," he said in a statement.
"The time to find a solution is now," he said.
Rasmussen made the remarks following a meeting with the delegation of the Libyan Transitional National Council, headed by its diplomatic chief Mahmoud Jibril.
However, Rasmussen insisted NATO's operations to protect civilians would continue.
"Gadhafi's forces are still threatening innocent people. And as long as that threat continues, we must continue to deal with it. The Gadhafi regime has lost all legitimacy," he said.
In the informal meeting, NATO officials and Libyan opposition delegation "discussed the way forward in Libya." According to the NATO statement, the Libyan delegation briefed the alliance their vision on Libya's future.

WASHINGTON: Pakistan's spy chief Ahmed Shuja Pasha, who heads the country's ISI, an organization accused by the United States of terrorist links and of murdering its own citizens, is arriving in Washington for talks aimed ostensibly at defusing tensions with the Obama administration.
The sudden, unexpected visit comes on the heels of mildly punitive US action including withholding $800 million military aid to Pakistan following US allegations that the Pakistani government "sanctioned" the murder of a journalist and that the ISI continues to foster terrorist groups in Pakistan at the expense of cooperation with Washington.
In a brief, one-line statement, Pakistan's military, de facto rulers of the country, said Pasha was going to Washington to "coordinate intelligence matters".
Pasha himself is under the gun, since he is listed as an accused in the 26/11 Mumbai attack case in a NY court case. His visit also comes on the heels of the assassination in Kandahar of Afghanistan president Karzai's half-brother Ahmed Wali Karzai.
The mood in Washington is decidedly hostile towards Pakistan, particularly the ISI, with sections of the US establishment wanting Pasha's ouster. A New York Times editorial last week, prompted by the Obama administration's views on the matter, said Pakistan's weak civilian government could re-establish its bonafides "by insisting on retirement of Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha, the ISI chief, and the appointment of a more credible successor."
"The US needs to use its influence to hasten Pasha's departure. It should tell Pakistan's security leadership that if Washington identifies anyone in ISI or the army as abetting terrorists, those individuals will face sanctions like travel bans or other measures. The ISI has become inimical to Pakistani and American interests," it said.
The Obama administration has held back some $ 800 in military aid to Pakistan, including $ 300 million earmarked for training programs which Pakistan's military scrapped by denying visas to U.S trainers and expelling those already in Pakistan. Pakistan's military fears that the trainers are being used to infiltrate the armed forces and hire spies to track down its assets, both human and technical.
CAIRO, July 13 (Xinhua) -- The Egyptian Parliament elections scheduled for September have been postponed till next October or November, state news agency reported on Wednesday.
It has been decided to hold the People's Assembly and Shura Council elections either in October or November this year, MENA quoted an official source as saying.
"The ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces is committed to the Constitutional Declaration announced in March, which requires the Parliament elections be held six months after the declaration, " the official source said.
"So it means to start the election campaign before the end of September," the source said.
The electoral procedure and campaign will take 30 to 60 days, which means the elections will be held in October or November, he added.
Major General Ismail Etman, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forced, announced on March 28 at a press conference that Egypt will hold the parliamentary elections in September.
The White House has condemned the killing of the half brother of President Hamid Karzai.
Ahmad Wali Karzai was regarded as one of the most powerful politicians in the south of the country despite being accused of drug trafficking and corruption.
He was shot to death in his home by one of his bodyguards.
