When shopping for a Best Personal Blender For Chopping Ice there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, think about the size of the blender. If you have a small kitchen, then you might want to opt for a compact model. Second, consider the power of the blender. If you plan on making thick smoothies with lots of ice, then you'll need a powerful motor that can handle tough ingredients. Third, take a look at the features offered by each blender. Some personal blenders come with multiple speed settings, while others have built-in blending cups or travel lids. Choose the features that are most important to you and that will make it easier for you to make healthy smoothies

Benefits of Owning a Personal Blender

When it comes to morning routines, there are a few key things that can make or break your day. One of those things is having a nutritious breakfast. If you're someone who struggles to eat a healthy breakfast on the go, then investing in a personal blender is a great way to upgrade your morning routine.

Personal blenders are ideal for making quick and healthy smoothies. All you need is a cup or two of your favorite fruits or vegetables, some milk or yogurt, and you're good to go! Plus, personal blenders are small and compact, so they're perfect for taking on the go.

Not only are personal blenders great for making healthy smoothies, but they can also be used to make soups, sauces, and even homemade baby food! So if you're looking for a versatile kitchen appliance that will help you eat healthier and save time, then a personal blender is definitely worth considering

How to Use Your Personal Blender

Assuming you've just unpacked your new personal blender and are eager to start using it, here are some tips on how to get the most out of your personal blender.

To begin with, make sure you read the instruction manual that came with your blender. This will ensure that you're using it correctly and getting the best results.

Next, decide what type of smoothie or drink you want to make. Do you want a fruit smoothie or a green smoothie? Once you know what ingredients you need, gather them all in one place so they're ready to go.

Now it's time to start blending! Add your ingredients to the blender jar in the order listed in the recipe (if using one) or according to the order of hardness (with harder ingredients like carrots going in first). Start by pulsing the blender a few times to chop up the ingredients, then blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy.

If you find that your smoothie is too thick, add more liquid until it reaches the desired consistency. If it's too thin, add more solid ingredients until it thickens up. And if it's not sweet enough for your taste, add a little honey, agave nectar, or other sweetener.

Once your smoothie is perfect, pour it into a glass and enjoy! If you're taking it to go, pour it into a reusable bottle or travel mug.

→ t-shirts with a bunch of random things i enjoy! ☆ new mesh, bgc ☆ 11 swatches + 2 bonus swatches ☆ feminine frame / teen-elder ☆ custom thumbnail ☆ disabled for random please lmk if there are any issues, since this is my first real piece of cc!!

*ೃ༄ download (sfs)

since this is a thank-you gift, you will find the thank-you notes under the cut (quite cheesy + long)

first of all: thank you so much for 100 followers!!

i especially want to thank all my mutuals for being such amazing people, hyping me up every time i post and blessing my feed with their incredible talent. i don't normally like singling people out because of my fear of leaving people out but i wanted to give a special special shoutout to @miralure and @simulatd because they are literally the sweetest people ever!!

my page is almost a year old but i've only been consistently active since october and if you look at my earlier posts you can definitely tell my edits have gone through a few transformations. even now i’m not entirely sure what my niche is. i wanted to thank you guys for supporting me even when i give you whiplash while trying to figure out what i want my page to be!

i feel a little proud with the progress i’ve made last year, or rather in the last few months. i’ve started learning how to use blender (which i never thought i’d do) and honestly it’s the most fun i’ve had in a while!! it allows me to realize my silly ideas and has almost no limitations. i’m still very new to it, but i’m looking forward to the this year and to all the progress i’ll make.

as for cc making, i have so much respect for cc creators and what they're able to do. going into this with no experience and time to practice (because i gave myself a stupid time limit) was definitely not my smartest move. these shirts honestly don't look the best, which is a little disappointing but if you don't want them, just ignore them and look at the preview instead (which kind of sucks as well) !!

if you read all of this: thank you!! and if you didn't: thank you still!!

i know i'm a little late but nevertheless i wish everyone a happy new year!! i'm so excited to see what this year has in store for us <33 much love & see you soon (because i do need a short break after this...)

Free simple Fin Fin plush pattern!

Having found the amazing blender plugin Seams to Sewing Pattern, I created a Fin Fin plush model in Blender with the intent to make it in real life (despite not having sewn anything since I was very little).

And... here he is! 100% hand sewn to the best of my newbie ability. I'm now releasing this pattern for free, hopeful to see more Fin Fin out in the world!

Download Link (Google Drive Folders)

Kofi donation link

Disclaimers under the break (Please read before sewing!):

I'd recommend machine sewing if you take this up yourself. Hand sewing requires a lot of patience, but it is very doable if it's your only option.

Some basic sewing knowledge is required as I can't provide a good guide for putting this guy together (I had to piece him together with some trial and error myself, using my own model as reference. Feel free to use it for reference yourself, too.

You will need at least half a meter of blue and white fabric for him. I used cuddle fleece. However, you can use whatever you like. You will also need something for his eyes, I used the traditional plastic safety eyes with a felt lining.

I've included two sizes in the download, I used the larger of the two, and printed on regular A4 paper, he comes out about a hand and a half tall and about a hand wide.

I can't provide too much help or support for the process, but you're free to ask me simple questions in DMs or on my Discord server. I can't guarantee I'll have an answer since I'm basically brand new with sewing and pattern making.

Good luck!

exactly one person asked for a men's list when it came to my cooking headcanons list for the ladies so here ya go!

Chris Redfield- Actually a decent home cook because he was old enough to want to give Claire some of their mom's cooking when he could. Unfortunately, any time he tries a new recipe for the first time he burns it. The second or third time things come out fine, but the first time he does something new he's opening windows to let out the pan smoke or returning to coals in the oven.

Barry Burton- His wife does all the cooking as he's hopeless in the kitchen, but since they got married she's never had to wash a single dish. He always made sure there's a working dishwasher in their house for when he's away too long to do his usual chore.

Albert Wesker- Can make the fanciest looking food in the world. We're talking Michelin star $100 a plate in appearance only. His dishes have zero flavor. They taste. No one understands how this happens.

Leon Kennedy- Breakfast King. I know the line in damnation is too overused, but breakfast is actually the easiest way to start learning how to cook. Box mix pancakes, bacon, sausage, and eggs, all require him to put something in a pan on low to medium heat with some oil and poke it around until it's done. There's little effort exerted in monitoring since that's half his real job anyway. Of course it translates to cooking. He's perfected the timing. Everything else is take-out though.

Carlos Oliveira- He had no idea how to cook until he got out of Raccoon City and went home to his family. He tried learning from his mama, but she'd always take the knife or pan from him, so he learned from a sibling and is pretty good at it. He makes a lot of marinades, so the blender is his friend.

Luis Serra Navarro- Absolutely under no circumstances does this man belong in a kitchen. He will concoct the most wretched smelling health food that's full of vitamins, minerals, and "a healthy dash of vinegar for flavor". He's wonderful to have at the dinner table, but never at the stove. Makes a real tasty cup of coffee though.

Jack Krauser- For some ungodly reason, this man can take someone's most hated foods and make them taste good. No idea what the hell he does to it as he will kick everyone out of the kitchen until he's done, but he's just like that. Barely cooks not because he hates it, but because he has to be in the mood.

Piers Nivans- He's the king of the grill. Will lecture anyone in earshot about the important difference between gas, charcoal, or wood when it comes to maintaining the flavor of the meat. He also believes salt and pepper are all you need for a great burger which must be cooked to medium at the hottest lest it lose it's tenderness.

Jake Muller- Salads, smoothies, and overnight oats, he's the one making meals that are able to be eaten fast or on the go. Fruit counts as a dessert to him. He does enjoy experimenting by eating the "weird" or most unfriendly tourist foods while he travels so he has something to brag about, even though he could never figure out how to cook any of it himself.

Ethan Winters- He tries his best. He'll help Mia in the kitchen with food prep or clean up. He makes good dips for chips, has a delicious cookie recipe, and researched how to make baby food for when Rosemary stopped being breastfed. This somehow translated into him figuring out how to make very good custards and parfaits. Although, he got super frustrated trying to figure out how to make bread and has given up the fight.

i will happily do this again for any characters not on either of my lists since i love cooking and baking, and this is fun to think about

Residents of Proserpina Park is a mythology audio drama. It is currently funding season 4 and 5 on Indiegogo. I’m call on all of you to help however you can.

Hello everyone. I’ve got another call to action for all of you. As you might, or might not know, @proserpinapark is currently funding not one, but two new seasons coming out later this year. I’m calling on all of you to do your part to help out.

So, some of you might be wondering what is Residents of Proserpina Park. Why, it is a monster of the week, anime-inspired audio drama. Think like Percy Jackson meets Pokémon meets Scooby-Doo, with a dash of Jackie Chan Adventures thrown in. Throw all that good stuff into the blender, and you’ve got an excellent audio drama.

Residents of Proserpina Park follows a young woman named Alina who discovers a park that is, basically, a nature reserve for mythological creatures. Each episode follows Alina and the gang meeting a new creature from across World Mythology and Folklore. At the same time, they are try to uncover the mysteries of the park itself.

One thing I love about RoPP is shear variety of creatures. We got creatures Filipino Mythology, Māori Mythology, Lenape Folklore, Aztec Mythology, Lithuanian Folklore, and a whole lot more.

Now for a bit about the people who make RoPP possible. Series creator Angela Yih has worked on podcasts for Realm, Pod People, and more. Their credits include shows such as Overleaper, Echo Park, Blood Forest, and Harley Quinn and the Joker: Sound Mind!

The point being, Angela knows their stuff. But not just the technical stuff. They’ve also got quite a few voice acting credits under their belt. Angela has lent their voice to works such as Dreamscape Highway, Mx. Bad Luck, Omega Star 7, and even The Books of Thoth.

And what about the rest of the gang? We are over fifty percent people of color, fifty percent female, and I’m autistic. We have performers from all walks of life, and we’re all very passionate about bringing these mythological stories to life for your listening pleasure.

But okay, what’s in it for you? I’m very glad you asked. You see, you’ve got six different options to choose from. Or you can donate a custom amount with no perks. But if you do what perks, here’s what your options are…

$5 - Tourist

All the shoutouts! Shoutouts on social media, on our website, and in the last episode of season 4 for being an awesome supporter

$15 - Visitor

Early access to ad-free episodes a week in advance as well as all the perks from the Tourist Tier

$30 - Local

A digital copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel, which is a collection of short stories focused on the characters from the show, and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$50 - Member

A physical copy of the official Residents of Proserpina Park Light Novel plus other merchandise and all the perks from the previous tiers.

$100 - Resident

Learn what it’s like to be on the show or work on an audio drama. Work with Angela Yih and be featured in a bonus episode in season 5 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers!

$300 - VIP

Become an executive producer on Residents of Proserpina Park and be credited in season 4 and 5! Determine a creature for season 6 as well as all the perks from the previous tiers.

So far we have raised $696, and I contributed $306 out of that. But you don’t have to contribute as much as I did. Small drops fill the bucket, and every little bit helps. If you aren’t financially able to help, then I would only ask you help spread the word, and encourage others to pitch in. We can all do our part to make season four and season five the best seasons of RoPP yet.

So, you have heard the call the action. Now the ball is in your court. Do your part out to help the Residents of Proserpina Park Indiegogo campaign however you are able.

figured out how to do this in a way that's actually helpful for people lmao - here's how you can use the sims 4 studio rig on short/tall sims WITHOUT changing their height or removing your height slider

note that i am not a pose maker! this is for making renders! i have no idea if this would work for making in game poses, this doesn't have anything to do w that lol

haha short

if we do the tried and true method of setting connor's armature modifier to the default sims 4 studio rig, it is WAY off. and not to mention the fact that if you try to make him do anything complicated it gets...well you saw his hands. and it is just as nightmarish for tall sims

the rig that comes w simripper is custom built for your sim's features, height slider or no. but the problem is in its default state it's useless at worst and extremely difficult to use at best. we're going to turn that into the sims 4 studio rig people know and love

first, go to your preferences and add-ons. find the copy attributes menu, it is already installed on blender, you just have to enable it (i am using blender 2.83 here)

let's make all of the rig visible, as straight out of sim ripper, most of the most important bones are hidden inside the sim. with the rig selected, click the little man icon in your properties menu and under viewport display, check in front.

keeping it 100, this is usually what i work with because i think doing poses sucks already, so what do i care if the dots are super tiny? but like i said, that's not that helpful for other people, so let's keep going!

you know that annoying bone shape thing that always hitches a ride whenever you try to append? that's actually the sims 4 studio bone shape, if you look close. we need it!

so we've got a pose we want our sim to do (or a blank rig if we're making our own pose). on OUR sim, select the rig and go into pose mode. in the drop down, expand the pose section, then the b_root, then b_root_bind, then b_spine0, THEN b_spine1. lol.

click ONE of the bones in the drop down menu. it doesn't matter which one. it'll highlight in green on your sim.

now click the bone icon in the menu. under viewport display, click custom shape and select the bone_bone_shape. now it looks like the sims 4 rig, but the circles are a little too big (on the face this would be pretty annoying). so under scale, 0.2 will get it to the normal size.

now hit a on your keyboard to select the whole rig. now hit control+c to open your copy attribute menu that we enabled. copy bone shape. we're done! it looks just like the sims 4 studio rig, but suited to our sim!

i recommend disabling the copy attributes add on after this, because obviously with this set up, we're copying and pasting the pose onto this rig from the actual sims 4 studio rig instead of using it. it'll save you a click lol.

when you paste your pose, don't forget to select the rig, hit i and locrot to save the pose!

hiii :] favorite nin songs? i'm curious what others we might share

Hello! :) It's going to be hard not to include everything on The Fragile and Broken, but I will try!

La Mer -> The Great Below -> The Way Out Is Through -> Into The Void. I feel like these four are one continuous work and and they are their strongest together. So I will count them as "one song." Anyway, they impacted me harder than The Downward Spiral (the album) did, which I didn't think was possible. Together, they are one of my favourite works of art of all time. And as someone who went to art school I've seen a lot of incredible art in all kinds of mediums.

Please. I mentioned this in my response to your post but IT KEEPS REPEATING! WILL YOU PLEASE COMPLETE ME?! [Clears throat] I don't know what came over me just then. So basically I wasn't the same man after hearing this for the first time. In my brain, being the writer and composer of Please is one of Trent's highest accomplishments. It's that good to me.

Pilgrimage. I think this one also altered my brain chemistry. It's such a weird track and I can't stop thinking about it. Also the auditory textures are immaculate.

The Becoming. This song is everything to me. Odd time signatures that never feel steady, sounds meant to make you feel very uncomfortable, long verses that never seem to end, extremely deliberate but strange sounding emphasis on syllables, I could go on forever.

Reptile. I don't know how to explain it but this song puts me on a new plane of existence. It feels like an emotional state that is both everything at once and nothing at all. Not to mention it being an incredible work of sound design.

Sin. I wouldn't be reposting the PHM fancam every Monday if I didn't absolutely LOVE this song. It was one of the first NIN songs I heard, and I said to myself "I don't care if the rest of what this guy made is crap, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard."

Ringfinger. A track so underrated sometimes even I forget how good it is. Just generally a really good song that I love, not a lot more to say.

Happiness in Slavery. I love this one because in the intense parts it feels like the song itself is attacking me (positive) but in the quieter moments it feels like a cry for help.

Suck. I really like the balance of intensity, rage, and heavy textures mixed with quiet, sensual, and regretful moments. It's like Closer and The Big Come Down put into a blender.

Only. Immensely catchy with very relatable lyrics, this is one of Trent's best for sure. Actually, it has helped me with social anxiety. If I get really anxious that no one actually likes me, I start singing "I just made (that version of) you UP, to HURT myself" until I convince myself no one actually feels that way about me.

Sunspots. The bass in this one is just incredible, I can almost feel the airwaves vibrate through my body. Combined with Trent's gentle and quiet voice it's a very pleasant sensory experience. Great for decompression after sensory overload.

The Line Begins to Blur. I really, really love the balance of noisiness and texture contrasted with smooth gentle sounds. It's very Fragile-esque but it feels more in control, focused, and significantly less "I'm dead inside." It's truly beautiful in every way.

Discipline. To be honest, Discipline > Head Like a Hole and The Hand That Feeds. Of all the very pop and mainstream songs Trent has made (that I've heard so far), this one is absolutely the strongest for me. It's so undoubtedly Nine Inch Nails, yet fits so perfectly amongst much less alternative/industrial artists. I'm 100% recommending it to anyone who wants to get into NIN. (My Mom also loves this song, it's her favourite NIN song I think.)

1,000,000. This one is kind of amazing to me because it's like every angry depression song Trent made up to that point rolled into one. Like actually just playing them all at the same time, I feel like I'm under psychic attack (positive). It's also... Unfortunately catchy. I have to be careful not to sing it out loud.

Thank you for the ask and for coming to my TED Talk! :)

if you dont mind me asking, how do you do the card renders?

so i'm not 100% sure how to answer this because its kinda vague - i'm not sure if you're asking about the card (image editing) part or the rendering process! if you want to know about the process of getting the characters and areas into blender, i've written a few posts about that already - they're under the "toontown models" tag on my blog, so they shouldn't be too difficult to find. RAMBLING ABOUT IMAGE EDITING BELOW THE CUT EXCLAMATION MARK EMOJI! THIS ISN'T A TUTORIAL IT'S JUST ME TALKING!!!! (only slightly related, but i'm putting it above the cut so more people might see it - i wrote some mock pokemon cards for managers a bit ago but i don't want to make them full images, would anyone be interested in me just posting those as text?)

the actual image editing part i do in photoshop! it's kind of a bad program but my usual art program dies when i try to do what i do for cards because it kinda struggles with text. i've started doing the text in-render for the cards recently, though, because it's kind of a blast?

it's probably obvious to anyone who's looked at them hard before, but my mock cards use the Series 1 Cog cards as a base (the official Disney ones)

they've just got a sort of weirdly unhinged vibe to them, they're so far off of the cogs representation in-game and kinda gives a look at (imo) how the cogs were originally imagined, as I feel that some of the card art is closer to original concept art (or probably is concept art) than it is close to in-game character appearances. man, Cold Callers card doesn't even look like the same guy! he's lanky here!

and i mean, kinda obvious, but i can't get the same level of craziness these cards are on with renders, but i can try. so i do! it's fun!

i don't know if anyone has really noticed it, but for the last handful of cards i've been opting for colouring the border of the card dependent on the department of the cog. green for cashbot, pink for sellbot, etc. here's a test i did of it a couple weeks back when i was playing around with the idea in my head (the renders were randomly chosen):

(the boardbot colour is kinda subtle - but that's just how it is in-game, exe bd skelecogs are super close to exe lb skelecogs, but maybe that's just my eyes)

the actual "process" of putting the card together once i've done the render is kinda just plopping the render into the .psd and telling photoshop what department the cog is (for the border colour) & then i'm done. the file is super simple, it's just a series 1 card but i edited everything out other than the border, bunch of layers connected to the border that give it the department colours, layer of a kinda-crappy filter i slap on to try and give it the same "feel" the card scans have, layer for the text (optional now that i do it in-render), layer with the render.

there's some extra fun stuff i try and do with effects in the renders, but i'm kinda new to messing around with blender stuff like that, so i try and hold it to a minimum. as an example, the CFO render is kinda hue-shifted so i could get the colours closer to what i was basing the lighting of the render off of! to use a better example of silly effects i used for a card, i'm gonna talk about this high roller card:

dude this thing took forever because i wanted to do Everything in-render (would've taken way less time if i wasn't stubborn). it's a bunch of layers and gradients and shine. i'm kind of tipping my hand here, but there's straight up just a blindingly bright cube in their hands that's making the shine, and then i kinda just. told blender to add a lens flare. and it did. i had to simulate rain for that one misty render and that was a time. y'know. i actually have to finish up a commission where there's blinding light emitting from something and it's really really good and probably one of the best renders i have done and it is 99% thanks to the commissioner because the ask is So Good.

anyways that's kind of all i wanted to say. i hope this answered your question? maybe? was your question just "what do you make them in?" if so, it's blender and photoshop. sorry for making you read a text wall instead. at the risk of sounding too silly, i really like speaking about the things that i do, but i feel weird talking about them unprompted? so i took this as being prompted and talked.

Hey, former Starbucks barista/barista trainer here! Baristas are supposed to be trained to inform customers that they can't guarantee products to be 100% allergen free due to shared utensils and cross contamination. While some stores may be willing to wash and sanitize utensils, it won't be a guarantee across the board (especially depending on how busy the store is and the experience level of the bar barista on shift). All food items are put in the same oven, use the same pair of tongs. All drinks are prepared on the same machines, same pitchers, etc. If you want to double check ingredients in their food/drink items I have a link to the menu here.

If you have an allergy, sensitivity or other dietary restriction, I encourage you to inform the barista. It sucks to have to disclose that, but it gives you and the barista the opportunity to figure out how to best serve you, whether it is sanitizing a blender, purchasing something packaged and allergen free, or if it's not worth the risk at all, you know your body best and most baristas will work with you. I've had several instances in which customers would offhand mention an allergen and when I'd disclose our use of shared utensils, they would be surprised because they'd never been informed at all.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend someone with specific dietary needs get their coffee at Starbucks. There's a lot of inconsistencies I've noticed between stores even in my old district (i.e. the store I worked at took safety very seriously and put in a lot of effort to keep it clean, but in the same district I covered at a store where they never changed their sanitizers once for an 8 hour shift -- it needs to be changed out every 2 hours max) additionally around the time I left there was the start of severe under-staffing going on which in turn effects the outcome of drinks. You also never know who's making your drinks -- one day it might be the barista who's been there for 5 years the other it could be someone still not confident on the bar and prone to mistakes under high pressure. (Not to mention all the ethical issues surrounding the company hence recent boycotts)

I hope this information could be of good use. Last thing I want is someone to get sick because of not being informed, your safety and well being is the most important in this situation.

Text: PSA to anyone with a tree nut allergy who frequents starbucks. We have a new drink called the pistachio cold foam cold brew and our pistachio sauce not only has real pistachio in it, the syrup sticks inside the blender and will 100% not fully wash off with the rinsers we use (its just water). I highly suggest if you want a cold foam drink during Jan-March you request it done in a sanitized blender to lower the chance of having a reaction if you are at risk.

The Choppiness Index: Uncover Forex's Hidden Weapon for Volatile Markets Mastering Volatility in a Chaotic Market If you’ve ever watched your Forex trades flop around like a fish out of water, well, welcome to the club. Trading in a volatile market can be a lot like trying to calm a toddler after they’ve just been handed a triple espresso—unpredictable, a bit unnerving, and sure to keep you on your toes. But here’s where we flip the script and introduce a little-known hero: the Choppiness Index. Yes, this tool might sound like the name of a cooking knife or a new dance move, but it’s actually one of the best-kept secrets for navigating a volatile market without getting whiplash. Let’s dive in and demystify this powerful tool, as well as uncover some elite trading tactics that most pros would rather keep under wraps. Oh, and we’ll try to keep things light—because, let’s face it, Forex doesn’t have to be all spreadsheets and heart palpitations. The Choppiness Index The Choppiness Index (“CI”) isn’t just a catchy name—it’s an indicator that measures the direction (or lack thereof) of the market. The higher the CI, the more directionless (a.k.a. “choppy”) the market. When CI readings are low, it’s like the market has finally had that cup of calming chamomile tea and is ready to pick a direction and stick with it. The CI is particularly useful for traders during those “can’t-sit-still” moments when you’re not sure if the market is actually trending or just teasing. If you’ve been staring at your charts wondering if the market’s zig-zags are actually an attempt to communicate in Morse code, the Choppiness Index might just be the key to decoding the madness. Spotting Market Opportunity with CI - The Range Game: The Choppiness Index ranges from 0 to 100. Generally, if CI is above 60, the market is choppy. Below 38, and we might just have some action worth chasing. It’s kind of like shopping for avocados—there’s an ideal ‘readiness’ you’re trying to find. - Finding Hidden Gems: High CI readings might have you sitting on your hands, but they’re also a signal to be patient. Volatility is like that unpredictable guest at a dinner party—they might keep you entertained, but you’d better be ready when things get serious. - Your Ninja Move: When the CI shows low values, it’s often the precursor to a trend gaining momentum. This is when you bring out your inner ninja trader—ready to pounce when a real trend starts to unfold. Quick Fact: Bruce Lee said, “Be like water.” A high Choppiness Index says, “Be like a puddle”—nothing’s moving; it’s just sloshing around. When “Everyone” is Wrong About Volatile Markets You’ve probably heard it before: “Stay out of choppy markets.” But wait—what if that’s just the kind of myth that’s keeping you from real opportunities? You Can't Profit in Choppy Conditions While it’s true that trending markets often provide easier opportunities for high reward-to-risk ratios, those traders who avoid choppiness entirely might as well be leaving money on the table. High CI levels indicate choppiness, but here’s the ninja move: this might be an opportunity to tighten up your strategies or prepare to jump in once a breakout happens. By using tools like Bollinger Bands in tandem with the Choppiness Index, you can identify potential breakout points—because after choppiness, often comes clarity. Imagine it’s like a storm finally calming down—you know something’s about to give way. Why the Choppiness Index Rocks in a Volatile Market - It’s Like Your Market Mood Ring: High choppiness? The market is indecisive. It’s a great tool for avoiding fake breakouts that chew up your account like a blender with no lid on. - Pinpoint the Transitions: The Choppiness Index excels at helping identify moments when the market might transition from choppy to trending. In a volatile market, these transitions are like finding the right moment to join a concert—you either catch the rhythm or watch others dance their way to profit. - Pair it with Price Action for the Win: This isn’t a one-trick pony—pair the CI with your favorite price action patterns and you’ve got yourself a complete arsenal for dealing with markets at their most indecisive. When to Use CI Like a Pro 1. Wait for the Breakout: The Calm After the Storm Picture it like this—high Choppiness Index readings mean the market’s still mixing ingredients. You don’t take the cake out while it’s still batter, right? The ‘cake’ is the breakout, and when CI starts to dip after being high, it’s time to keep those eyes peeled for a breakout opportunity. 2. Reducing Noise in Volatile Markets In highly volatile markets, there’s noise—lots of it. By using the Choppiness Index to filter out unnecessary market noise, you can focus on true movement. Think of it as noise-canceling headphones for your Forex charts. If the market has been chopping around and the CI suddenly starts falling, it might be time to tune back in. 3. Strategy Timing When the CI reads high, it’s not just a sign of choppiness—it’s a golden opportunity to step back and evaluate. High CI readings often signal that momentum trading is off the table, but mean-reversion strategies may work better. It’s like shifting gears—you don’t go full speed if you’re in a residential area. Adjust your approach according to market ‘speed limits’. Utilizing Choppiness Index for Entry Timing If the Choppiness Index sounds like the lazy cousin at a family reunion who just refuses to decide what he wants—you're right, in a way. When you see the CI is low, it’s like the market has picked its lane and it's time to ride it out. “But how?” — Great question. Here’s your answer: - Confluence is King: Look for confluence between low CI readings and other indicators. Let’s say you spot a strong support level, and CI is showing low values—that’s a good time to keep your trigger finger ready. - Breakout Confirmation: If you’re anticipating a breakout, a declining CI can help you confirm the breakout’s legitimacy. When CI drops, you know the market is giving a big yawn before settling down for some actual movement. The CI “Cheat Code” High CI doesn’t mean you should completely stay out. Instead, use that time for strategic planning—figure out where your trendlines sit, and watch for when things start lining up. When choppiness ends, there’s usually a great move around the corner, and if you’re in tune, you’ll be first in line. Using the Choppiness Index with Other Tools The Choppiness Index can be even more powerful when paired with other indicators. - Bollinger Bands: When combined with CI, they help highlight potential entry points during highly volatile markets. CI high? Watch those bands for when price squeezes—the market’s getting ready for a decision. - ATR (Average True Range): ATR helps you understand volatility, but combined with CI, you get a clearer picture of “when” things will get interesting. - RSI (Relative Strength Index): While CI measures direction, RSI tells us about strength. A low CI and high RSI? A trending market gaining strength—time to dig in. Bring Your Trading A-Game Let’s face it—Forex trading can be downright confusing at times. But, just like knowing when to double down on blackjack or figuring out when your dog actually needs a walk, there are certain signals we can follow to reduce the noise and make the right moves. The Choppiness Index is one of those little-known, underutilized tools that can turn your understanding of market volatility on its head. It helps tell you whether to dive in, step back, or prep for an impending trend—a market map if you will, to navigate through the chaos. Next time you’re dealing with a chart that seems more indecisive than your last takeout order, pull out the Choppiness Index and make a calculated move. Because the best way to win in Forex? It’s to trade smart—not just hard. Want more game-changing tactics? Check out StarseedFX’s resources to master the Forex market: Free Forex Courses, Free Trading Journal, and Exclusive Community Membership for live trading tips and exclusive strategies. Elite Tactics in a Nutshell: - Choppiness Index: Measure the market's directional clarity (or lack thereof). - High CI: Sit back, watch for breakouts, use mean-reversion tactics. - Low CI: Ready, set, go! Look for trending opportunities. - Confluence: Pair CI with Bollinger Bands, ATR, or RSI to confirm trend strength. - Planning: High CI periods are perfect for mapping strategy—not for impulsive trades. So, when the market gets choppy, you don’t have to. Be like water—but only after reading the CI. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated   Read the full article

Are Ninja Products Worth the Price?

New Post has been published on https://thekitchnpro.com/are-ninja-products-worth-the-price/

Are Ninja Products Worth the Price?

Ninja has been making popular kitchen appliances and not only in the US. In fact, it is a popular brand around the world. Ninja’s most popular products are the blender, the juicer, and the food processor. The company is known for its quality and its wide range of products.

Pros

Ninja Blender products are the very best in the business of making smoothies and protein shakes. With their wide range of blenders, mixers, and food processors, these reliable kitchen appliances will make sure that you have everything you need to make tasty, healthy, and filling meals at home.

High Quality

Ninja Blender products are produced using the most advanced cutting-edge technology. Many of their products will be available for a limited time and are quite often limited editions.

Durable and Strong

Ninja Blenders are one of our favorite kitchen appliances because they work so well. We also like that they are fun and don’t take up a lot of space (because let’s be honest, we can never find enough storage space in our kitchen). One of the reasons we’re so happy with Ninja Blenders is because they last. We’ve had ours for years now, and we’ve never had to replace one yet. That’s why we love our Ninja Blender, even though it’s not the newest model. That’s why we love our Ninja Blender, even though it costs more than models that cost less. They’re durable and strong.

User Friendly

It’s safe to say that no matter how much time you spend on YouTube watching videos and researching which blender is the best, you’re likely to end up with different answers. Some are easier to use than others. Some are more powerful, and some are more compact. Some have more features, and others are simpler to use.

Easy to Clean

Easy to Clean is the most important feature of a Ninja blender. It is important to be able to clean your Ninja blender quickly and easily so that you can use it over and over again to make the best smoothies and other healthy food.

Cons 

Pricey 

The Ninja products could really get pricey, but it’s all up to you to choose the model that will match your budget. 

Are They Worth the Price?

Blenders have gotten a lot more popular over the years – it’s hard to imagine what our kitchens would be like without them. And even though they’re not as cheap as they used to be, it’s still possible to find a good blender at a reasonable price. You can find decent, even high-end blenders for under $100. But there are still some that cost more than that, and some that are even pricier. So, is it worth the price?

If you are going to get Ninja products, you can expect them to be on the expensive side. With their quality and durability, you know they are worth the price. However, if you have a limited budget, don’t worry because you can also search for some blender alternatives.
