Horizon Series E95 EllipticalReviewing: Horizon Series E95 Elliptical | Rating:
The Horizon Series E95 Elliptical Cross trainer is an elliptical that is available currently on the market as a moderate to high end priced elliptical. The machine is easy to assemble, it only took us about an hour out of the box to put together with minimal confusion. The setup and use was the easy part, the machine has easy push button controls to adjust the resistance, time length and difficulty overall. But the problem and reason for a lower rating for this machine is its reliability. The Horizon E95 has difficulty not falling apart. We have had a new flywheel, 3 bolts break and the leg part on the right break also. We had the company repair man come out and tell us that this model is notorious for defaults-he has fixed quite a few just in the area. So from my experience, this machine is not quite worth the price to trust that you won't also have to call the repair man.


text: Hi ladies, just wanted some advise following my laparoscopy yesterday. So, quite shocking news really - I have stage 4 endo, stuck to my bowel and bladder and I'll need major op to remove it, as well as IVF for children as my tubes are screwed. My surgeon was flabbergasted that there was so much endo given my comparatively little pain. Also I had my tubes blown with dye less than 6 months ago and they were clear. Feeling very shocked and worried so would be grateful for anyone who has experienced similar x

St Lawrence is built on the original shoreline of Lake Ontario. The sit was created a landfill in the 1800's, which was originally supposed to be a public promenade with an esplanade along the waterfront. Yet the city gave the land to the railways, therefore creating industry in the area. It became one of Toronto's biggest industrial centres by the early 1900's. However, around the 1940's, Toronto's industrial base began to move out of the city, creating hard times for St Lawrence. In 1970, the politicians of Toronto decided to make something out of the area, and so we have our present-day St Lawrence neighbourhood.
St Lawrence is a very unique neighbourhood. The St Lawrence market has all kinds of food vendors, from pastries, to deli meats and cheeses, to seafood, to prepared meals such as gourmet sandwiches. This market is a Toronto landmark, and attracts live performers and people from all over the world (National Geographic dubbed it "an experience not to be missed.") The Esplanade has retail stores, services and every day needs for all St Lawrence residents. There is a wide selection of restaurants and bars, which atrracts people from all over the city.
For recreational needs, St Lawrence is home to the David Crombie Park, which has gardens, a waterfall, a handball court and a basketball court. There is also the St Lawrence Community Recreation Centre, which has a number of public sports facilities such as a gym, a pool, squash courts, and a games room.

Josh Wingrove, Globe & Mail
After four deaths in four years, the Toronto Zoo's elephant herd is down to three - a number considered to be the bare minimum for the good of the animals, leaving management to decide whether to pursue getting new ones or to phase out its exhibit.
At 7:30 a.m. yesterday, zoo staff arrived for work to find 41-year-old Tara, described as the matriarch of the elephants, lying down in her enclosure. They couldn't get her back on her feet, and she died around 11 a.m. The cause of Tara's death is unknown. Her body was left in the pen for a few hours to allow the other elephants to grieve her death. An autopsy has been scheduled, and she'll be buried later.
Tara was one of the zoo's first three elephants when it opened in 1974, and is the latest of the Toronto elephants to die. Patsy, 40, was euthanized in July of 2006, suffering from debilitating arthritis. Tequila, 38, was found dead in her pen last year, while Tessa, 40, died six months ago. An African elephant can live up to 70 years, but Toronto's zoo pegs its elephants' life expectancy at 40 to 45. Tara, at 41, lived longer than any elephant the zoo had.
The Toronto Zoo herd is now a trio: Thika, who is 29 and expected to succeed Tara as the herd's leader, and the aging pair of Iringa and Toka, who both turn 40 next year. Because of the social nature of the female elephants, three is the minimum recommended by the American Association of Zoos and Aquariums, of which Toronto is an accredited member.
Tara's death has brought Toronto to a fork in the road. It will have to decide whether to add new animals to the zoo's elephant program or shutter it altogether. City Councillor Raymond Cho, who is chairman of the Toronto Zoo Board of Management, said the issue will be discussed at a Dec. 10 board meeting.
"We have to really pay attention to [the question]: 'What is our future plan?' I cannot add anything more. But we'd like to have a very serious discussion in the upcoming board meeting," Mr. Cho said in an interview.
Eric Cole, supervisor of the Toronto Zoo's Savannah section, said it's too early to guess about the elephant program's future.
"We wouldn't even think about that right now. When we've lost an elephant, obviously we reassess, and we look at the remaining elephants and how the dynamic plays out," a sombre Mr. Cole said.
However, Julie Woodyer, a former OSPCA investigator who is now campaigns director for the watchdog Zoo Check Canada, said Toronto's northern climate is ill-suited for elephants despite the Toronto Zoo's mixed indoor-outdoor enclosure.
"This is the thing about this - 40 [years old] is not old for an elephant, if that elephant were to live in the wild or even a large enclosure in a southern climate," Ms. Woodyer said.
"Canada is not elephant friendly... If they [Toronto Zoo management] want to move into the next century as far as animal care [and] conservation are concerned, they have to realize that certain species are not meant for the Canadian climate.
"The fact is, they should probably phase out their elephant program in Toronto." Her suggestion would face opposition from Mr. Cho, who hopes the city keeps its exhibit.
"I love elephants," he said. "[The] Toronto Zoo is a world zoo. We like to have representative animals of all the continents."
The Calgary Zoo is in the same bind - it's also part of the AZA and is down to three elephants, although they are younger than Toronto's. Calgary curator Tim Sinclair-Smith said the zoo's elephant program is popular and helps with research into diseases affecting the at-risk species. It's not going anywhere.
"We're certainly continuing with the program. There's no reason for us not to," he said, adding that the zoo would support Toronto deciding to do the same.
If Toronto or Calgary were to lose another elephant and be left with just two, the AZA wouldn't immediately revoke its membership status if there was a plan to phase the program out or add an animal, AZA spokesman Steve Feldman said.
Noting the autopsy on Tara hasn't been completed, he said there's "no specific evidence that cold weather has harmful effects" on the animals.
Other northern zoos have phased out their programs, and there are two general strategies by which to do so.
One is to stop acquiring elephants, but keep the remaining ones, as was done at Edmonton's Valley Zoo. It's not an ideal situation. The city now has just one elephant, Lucy, and has found itself the target of legal challenges and high-profile pleas from former Price is Right host Bob Barker to move the lonesome animal to a place with other elephants.
The other option would be to ship the remaining elephants to a more appropriate climate. The Detroit Zoo did this in 2005, saying it could no longer provide for the "physical, social and psychological needs" of its two elephants, Winky and Wanda. They were moved to a California sanctuary.
Mr. Cole said staff are stunned by the death of Tara, and the three that preceded it."It's a shock. It's really devastating for us to lose that amount of elephants in that time," he said. "We might get another elephant from another zoo in North America, we might not ... We don't know, so we just have to wait and see."

Trey Canard Injured
April 14, 2011 8:20am | by: Jason Weigandt
Racer X is following up a lead from our colleague Steve Cox that American Honda Racing's Trey Canard has suffered a crash and broken femur during outdoor motocross testing.
According to Cox's report, the femur break is not as bad as it typically would be, and Canard may only be out for six weeks as opposed to several months. Canard broke a femur in 2008 at the Washougal AMA Motocross Nationals. Still, this is devastating news as it eliminates Canard from title contention on Monster Energy Supercross.
Here's a full link to the story and we'll post more news as we hear it.

A genetic algorithm example in Erlang.
The idea behind this program is to begin with a base population of X people, and try to breed/mutate into Y ( where Y is specified on the command line ), through general selection and random mutation. Basically, what this means is that we can select the population fit to breed, and can randomly mutate the progenies formed out of the mating. Varying the parameters (like the policy with which we select the population fit to mate, or the probabiliy with which mutation occurs, leads to interesting results!)

Surprise, surprise. Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG) has proposed major changes in Ontario's substantial gaming program, changes which could leave horse racing out in the cold. The operator of all things gaming in the province would like to discontinue the racetrack slot program in favor of a model that would allow slots at locations other than racetracks. Officials have determined that by having slots at tracks, gaming is now located in many places "unrelated to customer interest."
Those "unrelated to customer interest" places, 17 at the present time, have brought in more than $17.1 billion in gaming revenues since the beginning of the racetrack slot program in December 1998. The lion's share of that, 80 percent ($13.7 billion), has gone to the province. Even if you factor in costs, that's still a huge amount of money for the government. Compared to revenue splits for similar programs in the United States, in fact, it's a gift to the government.
But OLG thinks it can do better by finding more attractive locations for some of those slot parlors. And it is probably right. Plus, it can't hurt to get rid of the obligatory 20 percent currently being paid to the racing industry (10 percent for tracks, 10 percent for purses), which the government thinks is an increasingly unnecessary subsidy.
Some tracks with slots would appear safe. Woodbine alone brings in about one-third of total racetrack slot revenue in the province – $588 million in fiscal 2011. That track is likely to remain one of OLG's favored partners, and in fact may even evolve into a full casino -- OLG wants something more in the greater Toronto area. Woodbine already produces more gaming revenue than any other single casino in the province. Six other tracks also bring in more than $100 million in gaming revenues annually, much more than most of the province's smaller community casinos.
Other tracks won't be as fortunate. Without the slot supplement, some will simply disappear and the industry will contract. Enough to seriously reduce horse racing's overall economic impact in the province? Many say yes. The government needs to factor that into the overall equation.
Actually, horse racing in Ontario hasn't done all that badly over the years. In 2000, total handle in Ontario was $1,193,012,997; in 2009 it was $1,088,775,950. A loss of "just" 8.7 percent over nine years, especially given what many U.S. racing jurisdictions have experienced, is not bad at all. Thoroughbred racing has held up much better than has harness racing – in fact Thoroughbred handle grew by 6.1 percent over the nine years while harness handle fell by 28 percent.
And as in most jurisdictions, very little handle comes from patrons at the tracks. In Ontario, about 10 percent of handle was bet on live races at tracks; 22 percent was bet on simulcasting at tracks; 49 percent was bet at off-track teletheaters; and 19 percent was bet through telephone/account wagering.

We almost lost Bill - my dear husband - during the winter of 2010/2011. He was at death's door more than once during those awful months. After God restored him to health, we got busy. From mid-2011 through the end of that year, we completed many projects, some of them huge: We planted a hedge row beside the driveway; Bill added two new large planters near the patio; a deck went up; a sliding glass door went in; and we built a stand-alone workshop at the east end of the driveway.
Bill has gone along - sometimes reluctantly, albeit! - with every one of my hare-brained ideas! Oh, sure, he puts up a fuss at each new suggestion, but in the end, he's on board and working hard to make my ideas a reality.
From shoveling manure onto plants in the yard . . .
To helping his sons with their projects . . . .
To loving on his grandchildren . . . .
To putting up with yours-truly . . . .
And spending time with his family . . . .
Well, you get the idea!! Bill's a gem. He's a keeper.
God is good . . . . .

I love revisions. There, I said it. And I love edits. What I love though, is seeing the finished product, watching the manuscript polish into something that will be turned into a book. When I start a new story I open a fresh folder in my word program, and by the time that book is finished and published I could have twenty separate files in the folder all pertaining to that book. The first version of my current release from Harlequin Special Edition, Date With Destiny, read very differently to the finished product that just hit the shelves.
Financier Grace Preston did fourteen-hour days in New York City. She didn't do small towns in Australia. Not since she'd fled almost twenty years ago. But when a personal trauma sent her home-with a secret she couldn't reveal-the last person she needed was her first love.
Local cop Cameron Jakowski had loved Grace for most of his life. But he wanted marriage and family and she didn't. He was small town, while she was big city-and lived half a world away. But for now she was right here-a walking, talking temptation. One he managed to avoid...until he made one mistake. He kissed her. And reawakened the passion that could change their lives...forever.

I'm 2 months late on this but I thought it might interest some of you. BioWare released some more info on ME4 at their Comic-Con panel. So far I think they've gone in the right direction for the most part.
They announced that the story will take place during the trilogy which I think is the best option they could have gone with. A sequel would only interest me to find out about the aftermath of the war but the plot would probably be underwhelming compared to the trilogy. The same goes for a prequel since they can only choose between a few major events such as the first contact war or the rachni war. Although it is almost certain that ME4's plot will not compare to the trilogy's, I still think that they chose the right path. It could expand on the story of the reapers, maybe we could see how other areas of the galaxy were impacted. The war against the reapers was the most interesting event in the Mass Effect universe.
They are also reintroducing the Mako. Most people hated these missions in ME1 so they better get it right this time or else the game is gonna suffer majorly. They showed some footage of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzueBbcXqRk) and it looks like they improved its handling but only time will tell if the actual gameplay will be improved.
They also showed some concept art on the main character's model. He/she will be human and part of N7 again. Looks like you can't choose to be a different race like some people wanted.
Finally, they talked about multiplayer and said how they are focusing mainly on co-op. They did not deny the possibility of PvP which in my opinion would not work with ME3's combat. They could, and hopefully did, improve combat but even then I doubt it would be a good idea to make a PvP mode.
That's pretty much it, can't wait for the game to release.

A show I now visit fairly regularly is the La Quinta Arts Festival, held in the city of La Quinta in the Palm Springs area of California early in March each year. I visit it because my wife spends two weeks watching the Indian Wells tennis tournament and, when I'm not in the taxi driver role, I try to occupy my time as best I can. So the art show takes up part of a morning and keeps me away from coffee shops.
The show management cites magazines that claim it to be one of the top such shows in the country, though I'm not sure how such findings are made. Like other such shows these days, most of it deals with sculpture, photography, clothing, jewelry, furniture and perhaps a few other things I can't recall. In any case, I don't consider myself qualified to evaluate the quality of such items. For the most part the paintings fall into what I consider the "pretty good" range from a technical standpoint. Subject matter tends to be skewed to what the artist has found to be salable. That's because, so far as I can tell, the artists exhibiting at La Quinta do art as a full-time job.
Along with the matter of artists selling their wares, prizes are awarded. This year's winners are mentioned here. Leading the pack is Teresa Saia, who is a fellow Seattle dweller. I wandered by her tent, spotted the blue ribbon and noted that quite a few of her paintings had already sold (this was the morning of the second day of the four-day show). She was busy talking to other people, perhaps potential buyers, so I moved on to view other displays.
I remembered Saia's works from last year because they were richly colored landscape and cityscape pastels that at first glance seemed like oil paintings. But this year she had some nice thinly-painted oil landscapes on view that in some respects reminded me of Bernie Fuchs' landscapes (here are some examples of his work). Unfortunately, I could find no Web images of Saia's oils of the kind I saw.
For once, I agreed with the judges, because I thought Saia's works were the best on view at La Quinta. Here are examples of her work. The first three are pastels, a fragile medium in my opinion. Of the final two, one is definitely an oil, the other looks as though it might be. Note that she tends to show scenes from a viewpoint looking towards the sun.

text: Digital Comcast Plays Hardball with E! Writers By Richard Horgan|December 15, 2010 Share By Richard Horgan|December 15, 2010 Share Things are going to get ugly over at the house that Ted Harbert's ex-girlfriend, three sisters and Simon Cowell's former whipping boy built. In the wake of today's WGA West monitored secret-ballot results, which show 46 E! writer yea's and one nay in favor of joining the union, incoming parent company Comcast is having none of it. Never mind that The Soup writer Greg Fideler is quoted in this afternoon's LA Times report as saying "Comcast made a public statement saying it believes in the sanctity of a secret-ballot election, and that's exactly what we've participated in. Comcast must now do its part and begin talks with the Writers Guild." Instead, the Corp Comm folks at Comcast have delivered what sounds like a well-rehearsed curve ball statement, indicating that the WGAW had no business conducting the vote in the first place. We want to make it very clear to our employees, the press and the interested public that union elections are governed by federal law, and overseen by the National Labor Relations Board, the government agency officially charged with such oversight for the past 75 years. This was not an NLRB-sanctioned election and has no binding effect… The WGA has asked the company to voluntarily recognize it as the representative of some of our employees without affording those employees the right to vote in a real and binding election employee. At the very end of the Times piece, WGAW President John Wells offers this quick E!-R: "Comcast's past history has been staunchly anti-union… This does not bode well." Stat!

text: I was thinking about the cost per KWh and per mile between gasoline and BEVs. Gasoline has between 32 and 34 KWh per gallon, which makes it one of the densest energy fuels there is. The EPA uses 33.7 KWh per gallon for MPG equivalent calculations, so I used that in my calculations. In energy cost per KWh, gasoline is currently cheaper than electricity, even here in Washington State where it's only $0.08/KWh. Because electric vehicles are so much more efficient than ICE, the cost per mile for the least efficient EV at $0.16/KWh is cheaper per mile than even a 50 MPG gasoline car at $2.00 a gallon. In places where the cost of electricity is much higher like Hawaii, EVs aren't as economical when gasoline is cheap. Of course if you can put in solar in a place where it's expensive and your only cost of electricity is the original expense for the system. Anyway, I thought some people might find the chart interesting.

So, you plan on moving out? Before you begin packing and scheduling movers, be sure to inform your landlord or property manager of your plans to leave. Giving an intent to vacate letter should always be done in writing, so there are no discrepancies and disputes regarding your move-out date.
Read your lease agreement carefully and check for specifications about the move out process, specifically how many days you're required to give notice. When you draft your intent to vacate letter, provide the date it was written, and supply the date you will be leaving as well as a forwarding address so you can receive your security deposit and mail. Make two copies, one for you and one for the office.
Below is a sample letter to help you get started:
[Your name]
[Your current address]
[Today's date]
[Landlord or property manager's name and address as it appears on rental agreement]
Re: Notice of intent to vacate
Dear [Landlord or property manager's name],
This letter constitutes my [# of days notice as listed on rental agreement]-day written notice to inform you of my intent to vacate apartment [apartment #] on [date of move-out].

Should you need to contact me directly, I can be reached at [phone number or email].
[Your name]
______________ [Signature]
If you decide to mail your letter, be sure to follow up with the front office to verify that the letter was received. If you're breaking your lease, carefully read the agreement and ask the property manager or landlord if any other details should be included in the notice to vacate letter.

Boaters alerted to exclusive use waterski races on Lake Macquarie
7 December 2012

Maritime Hunter/Inland Regional Manager Sonia McKay said boaters should keep clear of the Toronto Bay part of the lake from 11am to 4pm.
"This area will be used exclusively for the safe staging of waterski races organised by Ski Racing NSW," Ms McKay said.
"The course will be marked by inflatable buoys.
"For safety reasons, skippers should avoid this area as it will be restricted for the event and patrolled by club and control vessels," she said.
Ms McKay said vessels would not be permitted to enter the exclusive use area unless authorised by a boating safety officer or a police officer.

Mara Hoffman Spring/Summer 2014 RTW – New York Fashion Week
Though the weather forecast for New York Fashion Week spring 2014 promises sunny weather without a single cloud around, Mara Hoffman doesn't need any rain to make a rainbow. "There's a Rainbow Warrior moment happening here. This collection is about straight-up happiness. I know that sounds hippie-dippie, but it's real," she says. And guess what? That's absolutely true! Inspired by rainbow colors and put in ethnic-resembling designs, the Mara Hoffman spring/summer 2014 collection is so bright and cute that you can't help watching and getting filled with the positive energy shining out of the accurately shaped color graphics.
There are certain key elements underlying the main conceptual formation of the Mara Hoffman spring/summer 2014 collection. First of all it's the choice of the colors, which is intended to be as bright and energizing as possible. Next, we can't but mention the motives of the designs, which are mainly based on ethnic concepts and overtone compositions. Another interesting detail about the collection is the "third-eye' resembling designs on some of the works. The diversity of the shapes is also remarkable. It varies from cute mini length dresses to asymmetrically cropped skirts and peculiarly shaped necklines. The latter include bateaus, U-necks, scoops. The collection also includes collars and bandeau resembling details, which are mainly based on the play of transparency of chiffon fabric. The lined cropping of the skirts is also a successful detail to create the effect of weightlessness of the dresses. The pieces from this collection can serve as a suitable part of your rest on the beach or a perfect outfit for a party.
It's like you turn into a living solar battery and the Mara Hoffman spring/summer 2014 collection as a whole comes like an energetic blast charging you for the whole day. Mara Hoffman thus managed to make the colors live and just make others smile.

Benefits of Trees
Benefits of Trees
Among the direct economic benefits of trees are lowered energy costs to homeowners--lower air conditioning costs and lower heating costs when trees are planted as windbreaks--and value added from landscaped vs. non-landscaped homes (from 5-20% value difference). The net cooling effect of a young, healthy tree is equivalent to 10 room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours a day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
According to Pepper deTuro, certified NJ arborist:
- One mature tree provides enough oxygen for four people.
- A single maple tree with a diameter of 30 cm can extract between 5 and 10 grams of heavy metals from the soil each year, which helps decontaminate urban lands.
- A healthy mature tree can absorb between 2.5 and 5.0 kg of carbon each year, which slows down climate change, and about 7,000 fine particulates in each liter of air, which decreases the incidence of respiratory diseases.
- Trees protect us against the heat island effect by creating shade and pulling water out of the soil and into the atmosphere; a large oak tree can transpire more than 400 liters of water a day.
Trees serve as noise barriers. Birds are attracted to the area. Leaves filter the air we breathe by removing dust and other particulates. Rain then washes pollutants to the ground. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air, as well as other pollutants, ozone, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide. They give off oxygen. Temperature near trees is cooler than it is away from them. Trees moderate the heat effects of pavement/concrete in urban settings. Wind speed and direction can be affected by trees. Trees reduce stormwater runoff and the possibility of flooding.
Trees improve air quality, moderate the climate, conserve water, and harbor wildlife.

The league of legends 201 is really cool.ReplyDelete
Yeah, i love both the printing and the accessories.Its kinda cool to have extra "spartan" look figure above to create an army =)Delete
Hi bro !
I think it's strange two clone brands release a League of Legends set in the same time, don't you ?
If I had to choose one, it would be the Decool set, isn't it ? What is the Bozhi quality ? I don't own any minifigure from this brand. The cavewoman, the mummy and the flameboy look so cool ! But Decool viking and centurion are so cool too ! And the TMNT's Shredder copy haha... :-D

I know several bootleg minifigs have cowl ... green arrow, taskmaster to name a few ... but I can't remember one that have a black cowl.
The reason I'm asking becoz I felt SY Star War's Darth Maul would like nice with a black cowl.
I think decool has black cowl, robin 0133ReplyDelete

Hi apodistagon =). I think you know much more than i do. I only saw them from Decool's catalog but that 's all.. anyway, that's very exciting news. So our next target after GOTG is Xmen figure.. yeah!!Delete
Hi Julian =). Im really sorry abt my 'dissapearence'.. Ahaha. Not a single day has passed by without thinking about these bootleg.. True story >_<
Only if decool/sheng yuan has newsletter that we can subscribe to =)
Ahah we're all the same. I'm currently working on my master's thesis, but everyday I spend hours on AliExpress to find new stuff, I look for information on the Internet, I write articles about it, etc. We're obsessed !
Yes for the newsletter, and I would love to know who they are, when they began to make knockoff, etc. I want to know them !
Anyone know how/where to purchase these? Sorry, if this has been asked.ReplyDelete
Hi Jerid ! You can look for it on AliExpress.com. I ordered my Decool set 17 days ago and I received it today !Delete
Cool. Thank You!Delete
Items priced in AliExpress for Decool and Bozhi are quite pricyDelete
Its worth to pay a little extra on Decool but not Bozhi. Bozhi figure for this theme dont even have printing on rear torso.Delete
Decool have released another 3 character from LOL
Why oh why they release only part of it =(. Just like they release big venom, hulk buster ironman and green goblin seperately. It will be easy to us if they release the complete set of 6 just like last time. Is it their new strategy. I just remember even the modern war figure also come in set of 3 and to add some thrill they put questionmark icon for the other 3 figure in the catalog.. To give hint that there's new figure coming soon..Delete
I think is their marketing strategy to attract the collectorsDelete
Where am I able to buy this though? :( Looks really cool!
Hi there. If you cannot find it in your local toy store, you can always buy them online. Famous site to get these is aliexpress and maybe ebay =)ReplyDelete
There is like a set containing 8 figs from decool. It has some other champions like ezreal and the blind guy,etc. I bought it here in the philippines worth 150 pesos. More cheaper than alixpress.ReplyDelete

Net Positive Suction Head Required, NPSHR As the liquid passes from the pump suction to the eye of the impeller, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases. There are also pressure losses due to shock and turbulence as the liquid strikes the impeller. The centrifugal force of the impeller vanes further increases the velocity and decreases the pressure of the liquid. The NPSH required is the positive head (absolute pressure) required at the pump suction to overcome these pressure drops in the pump and maintain the liquid above its vapor pressure. Net Positive Suction Head Available, NPSHA Net Positive Suction Head Available is a function of the system in which the pump operates. It is the excess pressure of the liquid in feet absolute over its vapor pressure as it arrives at the pump suction, to be sure that the pump selected does not cavitate.

This assumes that heat may enter or leave the system, and that input shaft work can appear as both increased pressure (usually useful work) and increased temperature above adiabatic (usually losses due to cycle efficiency). Compression efficiency is then the ratio of temperature rise at theoretical 100 percent (adiabatic) vs. actual (polytropic).

A lazy, weekday night if we are not in a mood to go into an elaborate process of preparing a vegetarian dish, washing, cutting and again wash, saute for quite sometime to bring the right taste.... what comes to our rescue?? In our family it is Paneer. A scrumptious curry with paneer accompanied by a meat curry and dal is immensely enjoyed with roti / paratha by my men. My senior is not so much of a paneer lover but is happy with a bowl of meat curry. So, often I keep aside my knife and chopping board... prepare a paneer curry absolutely relaxed with my headphones on.... and get priceless reward.... of illuminated faces....
This paneer dish is made in a yogurt based curry with minimal spices. What I liked about the Dahi Paneer curry is its creamy texture for using cashew nut paste and its tangy sweet taste. Be with piping hot rice or Indian breads, it tastes good. Let us prepare this Dahi Paneer or Yogurt Paneer together.
Paneer Cubes : 300gm
Ginger Paste : 1tsp
Plain Yogurt : 100gm
Cashew nut : 7-8
Melon Seed : 1/2tsp
Cumin Seed : 1/4tsp
Bayleaf : 1
Red Chilli Powder : 1tsp
Turmeric Powder : 1/2tsp
Salt : As Required
Sugar : 1/2tsp[optional]
Oil : 3tbsp
Apply little salt to the paneer cubes and mix well. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
Prepare a paste with melon seeds, cashew nuts and the yogurt in a blender.
Heat oil in a wok. Temper with the bayleaf and cumin seeds.
Add the ginger paste and saute for 2 minutes.
Add the yogurt, cashew nut and melon seed paste. Keep stirring till the oil separates from the spice mix.
Add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt. Stir well for 1/2 a minute.
Add 1 medium cup water. Stir and let boil for 2 minutes.
Add the paneer cubes. Let boil at low heat for 2 minutes.
Add sugar, stir carefully. Its done.
Transfer to a bowl. Serve hot with rice or chapati.
