Ninja blender cup not locking

 I have a Ninja professional blender and the single serve cup is not letting me turn it to get a click so that I can start to blend. It turns out there is a tab in one of the channels that the cup drops into on top the blender which is not getting pressed. 

The notch on the left is where I cleaned

The tab seems to be sticky from juice spilling on it and getting dried. In order to clean it I had to remove a T-shaped rubber filler above the tap. I used a small blade to pry it out.

Once removed I used a damp cloth and toothbrush to wipe the tab and let a drop of water get on it to loosen any stuck food. I also used a small flat head screwdriver to press the tab and eventually it got loose and is free now. It has a spring which keeps it in the UP position. You need to press it down to force it to operate and loosen it.

After cleaning the problem tab, the cup now clicks in like it should. It took about 5 minutes of total work.

Incredible gadgets

I am impressed by these pieces of hardware!

1. Sugar bear - put this in your sugar container and it will stop the sugar from getting clumpy. If it is already clumped, this will make it turn back in crystals.

2. Soft close toilet seats - this stops toilet seats from free falling down and making a bang and possibly being damaged.

3. Pressure balanced valve for shower - this keeps the temperature of your water constant even if the pressure of one of the lines in Hot or Cold changes. This means you will not get a sudden shower of scolding hot water when someone flushes the toilet or when the pump comes on !

4. Pipe and wire detector - This device can find the exact spot a wire or pipe is buried underground or in a wall and it works by holding it up against the areas you suspect the pipes are. WASA needs a lot of these!

5. Automatic wire stripper. This takes the insulation off a wire in one motion. No need to worry about using a knife and wasting time. This makes any electrical work amazingly easier.

6. Mobility Chairs. I have seen people who would not be able to move very much on their own be able to take themselves around with speed and style. It is incredible that people can now get around and have a much higher quality of life.

ITIL v4 certification

Here is the process I used to study, write and pass my ITIL V4 exam.

Studying 
First I studied using a video series on CBT nuggets.This is however no longer available. You can find one on any of the other video training sites.

I also found this free study guide useful - https://diontraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Study-Guide-ITIL-4-Foundation.pdf

Free practice questions from axelos (after you create a free account)- https://www.axelos.com/qualifications/itil-qualifications/itil-foundation-level

Writing the exam
Next I bought the exam voucher from itsm.zone. You can use numerous sites that sell the vouchers but this was the cheapest I found and they are all for the same exam.


Their process has a few steps.
a. First you need to purchase the exam. I used the cheapest one I could find from the link below at a cost of $249 USD.
https://training.itsm.zone/handsome-checkout/itil-4-foundation-exam/

Another option is https://www.passionitgroup.com/category/exams/itil/  for $255 USD.

b. Once the purchase is successful, you have to upload proof that you took a training course for the exam via this link https://training.itsm.zone/request-an-exam/ . I got proof of completion from the CBT Nuggets site.

c. After they validate your upload, they will send you a voucher code for you to schedule yourself. I got my voucher 1 hour after requesting in on a Saturday afternoon.

d. This voucher code has to be used to schedule with PeopleCert within 6 months of receiving it. You can pay for it first and then when you are ready it will be sent to you. Only after it is sent does the 6 month validity period begin.

e. You will get an email reminder from PeopleCert 24 hours before the start of the exam. The exam is performed in front of your personal pc at a time and location you choose. The location should be quiet and free of distraction. You will download and install and ExamShield app on your pc and a person will be on the other end and view your room. The app shows a count down timer for when your exam is scheduled. This is very helpful when to ensure you have the right time zones set. You must have a webcam and internet. They will monitor you for the duration of the exam. You can have a notepad and pen only during the exam.

After passing the exam

Congratulations !
Now update your resume and start using what you have learnt.
