Vitamins and other supplements can help you take charge of your health and wellbeing. Popular vitamins and supplements include: Even if you’re relatively healthy, they can offer support to your body’s essential systems and processes. But sometimes you may not consume or absorb all the vitamins, minerals, and other essentials you need, which is when vitamins and supplements can be beneficial. Life happens, and for many of us, we continue as normal: Your body generally stays healthy without you even having to think about it. As you get older, your body may not absorb vitamin B12 and other nutrients as well as it did when you were younger. For example, in the winter months, you may have less vitamin D due to less exposure to the sun, or, periodically, your iron levels may decline for any number of reasons. ![]() You may report side effects to FDA at 1-80.Dietary changes, various internal and external stressors, the environment, and other factors might result in nutritional deficiencies.

![]() ![]() These two blenders perform neck and neck in our tests. So Vitamix owners are slightly more likely to recommend their blenders to others. As for owner satisfaction, Vitamix boasts an ace mark, while Ninja receives an impressive but not excellent rating. Reliability and owner satisfaction: Vitamix earns a top-level rating for reliability in CR’s annual member survey Ninja isn’t far behind, receiving a very good reliability rating. The Ninja comes out slightly on top with an outstanding rating, and the Vitamix trails just behind with a very good rating-our testers found the markings on the Vitamix jar to be a bit challenging to read. It’s another tie between the two blenders, but we can hardly take them to task, considering none of the CR recommended models in our full-sized blender ratings fare any better.Ĭonvenience: Our testers found both blenders to be pretty convenient in terms of how easy they are to clean, how easy it is to pour from the blender container, how clear the controls and markings on the jar are to read, and the weight of the jar. In fact, not a single one of the more than 80 full-sized models in our ratings nabs a top score for noise. Noise: Both models are noisy-as blenders tend to be-scoring middling ratings in that test. That’s not bad, and it’s another draw between the two blenders. Still, they both earn our second-highest rating in this test, meaning the ice looks like what you’d see in a snow cone, with small uniform chips. Well, neither the Vitamix nor the Ninja made the cut for the top rating. The goal: small fine flakes, for which a blender receives an excellent rating. Ice-crushing: We place seven ice cubes in each blender and pulverize them to see how uniform and fine the ice gets. So if you love puréeing soups, you’ll be happier with the Vitamix. The Ninja? It’s a no-go: The manufacturer does not recommend using hot liquids in the blender, warns Larry Ciufo, who oversees CR’s blender testing. When we tried it out, we got piping hot soup in 5 minutes. However, our testers found that the Vitamix’s fast-whirring blades also created enough friction to heat up cold, raw ingredients while blending, making hot soup instantly. ![]() Both blenders do an equally excellent job of puréeing parsley, carrots, and other firm vegetables into a slurpable soup. Puréeing: For this test, we blend raw ingredients into a puréed soup and pour it through a sieve to see how many chunks remain. You’ll get great margaritas no matter which blender you go with. Both blenders receive a top-notch rating here, serving up fruity drinks with a smooth, consistent texture. Icy drinks: To see how well blenders handle making smoothies, our testers whip up nonalcoholic piña coladas, then drain the blended mixture through assorted sieve sizes to check how many bits of fruit and ice remain after blending. It’s available in black, white, stainless, graphite metal, copper, and red, and it has a generous 10-year warranty. The Ascent series also comes integrated with wireless connectivity so that you can download new programs and updates from its smartphone app. This Vitamix has a programmable timer for custom recipes-you set the desired time and the blender will turn off automatically. Starter kits that include an adapter and a cup cost $145 additional cups are $30. There’s a compatible 8-ounce cup and a 20-ounce cup that you can purchase separately, and you’ll need an adapter to use them with the blender base. Like the Ninja, this blender automatically adjusts its program settings and blending times to the container size you use, but as mentioned, you’ll get only the 8-cup jar with your purchase. You use a dial to choose one of 15 speeds, or you can pick a setting on the LCD touchscreen for smoothies, frozen desserts, dips, hot soups, or self-cleaning. At 17 inches tall, it’s slightly shorter than the Ninja, but that difference means it will fit under most kitchen cabinets. Vitamix: The 1,440-watt Vitamix 3500, which is part of the brand’s Ascent series, has a plastic jar that holds 8 cups (one less cup than the Ninja). It has a one-year warranty and comes with a personal blender attachment, a food chopper attachment, a dough blade, and two 24-ounce cups with lids for taking smoothies on the go. The Ninja measures 18 inches high-a bit too high to fit under standard cabinetry on the counter. This blender features Ninja’s Auto-iQ technology, which automatically senses which jar is on the motor base and suggests presets to match. It also has a pulse function, a useful feature when you need a quick boost of power to get the right consistency and texture for a smoothie, for example. The touchpad controls have five speeds and preset buttons for making smoothies, crushing ice, extracting nutrients, chopping, and creating up to 2 pounds of dough. Ninja: The Ninja Professional Plus Kitchen System BN801 is a 1,400-watt blender with a 9-cup plastic container and removable blade. ![]() ![]() ![]() Enter ZIP code or city, state as well.Īll you need to do is to save your home and office addresses in Google Maps, and the system will automatically fill them in as you type, speeding up your search.

![]() ![]() My friend Britta said it reminded her of a fire alarm. Interesting, but not as beautiful as the original. ![]() When this is done, the spectrogram looks like this: To make it look like they are passing over and under each other, we have to increase and decrease their respective volumes at the appropriate moments to give us the sense of depth. In our case, we need the frequency itself to change as a function of time, in particular, we want our frequency to be $$f(t)=\bar\).īy adding several of these warbly sine tones together (call them “metasines”), we can create Vi’s musical braid. A pure tone at a frequency \(f\) can be generated as $$y(t)=A \sin(2 \pi f t+\phi),$$ where \(t\) is in seconds, and \(\phi\) is the phase. Then we need to create a frequency modulated signal, that is, a sine wave that changes pitch in a sinusoidal manner. They braid their hair and do a medley of 'Promises' and 'Problem', with some props and effects to go with it. You can also mix the two, pulling up slightly with a half-crank on the reel for good measure. Otherwise, you can keep the rod flat and make a sharp turn on the reel. To mathematically “draw” Vi’s braid, we need to determine how to construct each thread individually, and then add them together at the end after erasing the parts that pass behind other threads. Let’s say that the shape of each thread is a sine wave. You can mainly use your rod, angling diagonally down then quickly pulling up 90 degrees. To mathematically reproduce Vi’s musical braid so that it appears in the spectrogram, we need three independent sine tones, whose frequency varies in accordance with the drawing she made with sharpies. A pure sine tone usually does not sound very pleasing, and graphically looks like a flat line in the spectrogram it appears similar to a the spectrogram of a whistle. ![]() Vi also chose to quantize the braid by discretely changing the pitch of her voice to make the result sound more musical, sticking to western musical tones. But Vi’s voice is luckily not a pure sine tone, meaning that there are many harmonics visible. If we look at a section of the spectrogram of the melody, here is what we get:Įven with this visualization, it is not obvious where the braid is. Use a 1 1/2' iron to create curls in different directions so the style doesnt feel too 'done.' Then work through a texturizing wax like Oribe Original Pomade on the ends to give it a piecier texture. Looking at the braidįirst, let’s investigate what Vi’s musical braid looks like. I particularly enjoyed the braid melody at 2:35, so it made me want to discover a mathematical function governing the vibrations in the air that define a “musical braid”. Vi Hart’s “Doodle Music” video is a beautiful combination of art, math and music, illustrating parallels between symmetries in curves and symmetries in sound: ![]() ![]() ![]() Someone mentioned veneer that can be added under the slide to make up for a little looseness.

This mutation allows them to sleep less than six hours per night without feeling tired or otherwise impaired. Ībout 1% of the population has a genetic mutation on the ADRB1 gene, a condition known as the Short Sleep Syndrome. There are a few aspects to consider when using those people as your sleep role models. I want to be a high achiever like them, why should I care about what you say?” I even read that Nikola Tesla slept as little as 2 hours per night to work on his ideas. “Okay, but I have read about all those high achievers like Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, or Marissa Mayer who became successful by only getting a few hours of sleep a night.
