I usually reserve this feature for light-hearted fare; what the news industry calls a “kicker.” Well, this ain’t that. This is a kick in the pants to all those Jews and Jewish politicians who think it’s a good idea to pass gun control laws. Laws that do nothing more than inconvenience and stymie law-abiding Americans seeking to exercise their natural, civil and Constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms. Hey!

Five seasons of Netflix-Marvel goodness (or, in the case of Iron Fist, mediocrity) have all built up to this. Building on last month’s teaser, Netflix has released the first full-blown trailer for The Defenders. Like The Avengers movies, the project is a culmination of many interlocking ‘cinematic universe’ projects. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist — all four TV shows stand on their own, but share characters, lore and the occasional cameo appearance to bind them together. The Defenders, a team-up of New York’s street-level heroes, will prove whether Netflix can deliver such an ambitious crossover project in the streaming world.
The trailer shows Jessica Jones, played by Krysten Ritter, in an interrogation room with detective Misty Knight. Before the two can exchange vocal fisticuffs, Matt Murdoch (Charlie Cox) bursts into the room, explaining that he’s now Jones’ attorney. The teaser then cuts to Harlem hero Luke Cage (Mike Colter), who crosses paths with mystical martial arts expert Danny Rand (Finn Jones). All four are soon forced to work together against a greater threat, Alexandra (Sigourney Weaver). Plenty of Marvel-Netflix side characters make an appearance too, including Elektra, Daredevil’s teacher ‘Stick’ and she-only-saves-everyone Claire Temple.
It’s a fast, witty video that hints at the chemistry all four superheroes will share on screen. The mini-series will be released globally on August 18th, 2017, so you’ve got plenty of time to binge-watch the existing shows, should you have managed to somehow avoid them until now.
We’ve seen Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist all individually do battle with the evil that plagues Netflix’s corners of the Marvel Universe. Now, for the first time we get a look at all four of them fighting together as the Defenders they were destined to become.

Robot vacuums come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and price points. While the technology has sometimes gotten a bad rap, it can truly make a big difference in making your house cleaner — without you needing to raise a finger.
Instead of having to lug a standard vacuum all around the house and spend time and energy sucking up dust, debris, pet hair, and who knows what lurking on the ground, a robot vacuum can get the job done with minimal fuss.
has been available to consumers for a while, robot vacuums are just starting to become more popular due to the growing variety of options available.
Let’s examine the technology and highlight one great all-around option: the Neato Botvac Connected.
What Exactly Is a Robot Vacuum?
While it’s not exactly as fun as having R2-D2 or WALL-E living at your home, robot vacuums accomplish a single purpose: to keep your floors clean. Since you don’t have to worry about pushing them around, the vacuums are low to the ground and can fit under many obstacles like tables and chairs.
Unlike the usual vacuum, robot models use a battery and don’t require a power cord. Instead, most models automatically return to a corded charging dock.
The built-in wheels help the unit navigate around your home and also automatically move the vacuum up or down depending on floor type: carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate, and others.
Unfortunately, no robot vacuum on the market can be used on stairs, but most models have special sensors that will prevent them from running off the edge of a tall surface. As well, the dirt doesn’t just disappear — any debris picked up by a vacuum is stored in a small bin that you’ll need to empty.
Who Needs One?
Does everyone need a robot vacuum? Absolutely not. If you’re living in a small home with just a few other relatively tidy adults, don’t mind doing the chore often, or have some type of maid service, you’ll be just fine without one.
But in my house, I have a trio of issues that most of us are probably familiar with: two young children, a dirty dog, and a wide variety of different allergies that affect everyone in my family.

As anyone with kids or animals knows, they’re not exactly known for being neat and tidy. Throw in allergies to pollen, grasses, dust mites, and more, and a robot vacuum helps keep my house clean and my family more healthy.If you’re ready to take the plunge, one of the best choices is Neato’s Botvac Connected.
The Neato Botvac Connected
Currently available for $649 (£679/C$915), the Connected is the top-of-the-line vacuum from Neato, and it offers a host of unique features not found anywhere else.
The standout feature is the small circle on top of the unit that houses the LaserSmart mapping and navigation technology. Using special technology called LIDAR, the vacuum takes time before it starts to scan and map the room, planning the exact route it will take while cleaning.
Unlike some other models, this approach means the vacuum has already mapped out a plan of attack while avoiding other obstacles in the room. That saves time and is definitely more efficient on the battery. On the turbo mode, it can clean for up to 90 minutes.
Another great plus is the vacuum’s “D” shape. Unlike circular vacuums, the flat edge allows the Connected to fully back into corners and crevices where dirt and dust like to pile up.
Beyond being a great way to clean floors, Neato’s vacuum lives up to its name in a number of ways. The built-in Wi-Fi opens the door for a number of great features.
There are even more advanced features exclusive to the Connected available on the app. A coverage map shows where exactly the vacuum has cleaned. And the cleaning history is akin to a fitness tracker, showing cleaning stats from the last 21 runs.

Long-Term Use
I’ve been using my Neato Botvac Connected for more than six months and have come away very happy. While a robot vacuum is something that is never on the top of anyone’s must-purchase list, after using one for a few months, it’s something I couldn’t live without. I schedule mine to run seven days a week. And it’s able to complete my entire house mixed with hardwood, tile, and carpet, in a little less than 90 minutes.
Even though it runs daily, the amount of dirt and dog hair the vacuum sucks up is staggering. I’ve thrown a number of tasks at it, and it always seems to come out just fine.
My one and only issue with the Neato Botvac Connected is its glossy black finish. While it looks great out of the box, after a few months it’s taken its fair share of scrapes. That doesn’t bother me, but just a word of warning.
While the device will take care of vacuuming, it still needs a bit of help from us lowly humans.
The dust bin needs emptying after pretty much every cleaning. You will have to change parts like the brushes and filters after a couple months for the best results. All of those parts of widely available to purchase online, and replaceable in just a few minutes.
All told, my house is much cleaner. And my big, heavy, full-sized vacuum is gathering dust in a closet.
Some Strong Alternate Options
If the Botvac Connected isn’t up your alley, there are two other (cheaper) options to consider.
This model offers Wi-Fi and uses the same laser mapping technology as the more expensive model. You will lose a few features like the built-in LCD screen, eco/turbo mode, a side brush, included boundary markers, and a higher-capacity battery.
But if you live in a smaller home or apartment and can do without those features, it’s another good choice.
You may also want to take a look at the iRobot Roomba 680 ($325/£312). The Roomba brand has been synonymous with robot vacuums since the original version hit the market in 2002.
There are a few notable differences compared to the Neato Connected line, though. While you can schedule cleaning on the vacuum itself, there is no built-in wireless connectivity.
Also, the Roomba 680 doesn’t offer any of the same laser-guided navigation. It depends on a bumper to detect and steer away from obstacles. My Roomba is able to clean floors, but not to the same level nor as quickly as the Neato. But it’s something to consider with a smaller and uncluttered home.

. But for now, Neato and Roomba devices offer the best combination of features and reliability on all types of flooring.
and still require some human assistance, the technology is improving with each new product cycle. And the technology can go a long way to making any living space cleaner and free of dust, dirt, pet hair, and other allergens without you needing to do a thing.

MailChimp is probably best known for its basic email newsletter services, but it has long offered a number of more advanced marketing tools that allows its users to follow up with online shoppers, for example. Starting today, these advanced marketing automation services are available for free to all MailChimp users, including those on the company’s free plan.
With this newly free service, any online business can now easily create an automatic email that goes out a day after somebody abandons a virtual shopping cart, for example, or a day after somebody makes a first purchase. Similarly, they can set up a series of welcome emails or use the service for more transactional messages like receipts, shipping updates or invoices. MailChimp set up a number of pre-configured automations for some of these most popular use cases. The company argues that its users earned an average of $619 more thanks to abandoned cart notifications.
Given that there is obviously some clear value in this service for its users, it’s surprising to see that it is now making it available for free. Chances are, though, that the customers who were using these more advanced features were also those who already had more than the 2,000 subscriber maximum of the free plan. Adding this new capability to its free plan may just get more of those free users to reach that maximum or want to upgrade to the paid plan, which offers a number of other advanced features and analytics.
“Automation empowers our customers to create sophisticated campaigns that help them compete with bigger companies, but we know that not everyone has a large list or the budget to upgrade to a paid account when they first get started,” the company writes in today’s announcement. “Small businesses look to MailChimp to help them build their brand, and we want to give everyone—no matter their account type or list size—the opportunity to use our marketing automation tools to do just that.”
Three-dimensional printing is becoming more prevalent in the defense industry, as engineers explore the process to make parts for the most sophisticated U.S. weapons, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles.
But lesser-known projects have been in the works at a Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, shop that has been producing parts for Air Force aircraft for at least two years.
In February, Lt. Gen. John Cooper, deputy chief of staff for logistics, engineering and force protection, asked audiences at an Air Force Association breakfast, “Can we find better ways to maintain these airplanes? Is there some new technology that can help us? Or some new repair processes?”
The 3-D printing process is one way to do that, he said.
The general cited a trip he took to Tinker where he saw members of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex, one of the Air Force’s largest depot maintenance units, making a dashboard casing for a B-1B Lancer bomber.
“We’re responsible for all the maintenance, repair and overhaul of all components that come off the aircraft,” Col. Robert Jackson, commander 76th Commodities Maintenance Group, told Military.com in a recent interview. The CMXG is part of the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex.
Jackson said the team has a wide variety of things to maintain, including many parts that would require an expensive bulk buy when they really need only one or two. Examples include mic switch knobs, crew compartment panels, sun visor brackets, and armrests that total roughly 60 different plane parts across the B-1, B-2, B-52, E-3 and KC-135 airframes, among others.
Martin Williams, director of the 76th’s Reverse Engineering and Critical Tooling, or REACT, office, said the unit already uses 3-D printers in various sizes, but they want others with flexible technologies to support making parts that engineers haven’t necessarily thought of yet.
The Lancer dashboard — or standby compass cockpit panel, as officials called it — is something the unit is currently prototyping.
Even with larger items, which require more durable parts and aren’t suited to 3-D production, 3-D prototyping streamlines the process by experimenting with designs that will be manufactured later with metal, Jackson said.
“You’re using the 3-D printed technology in order to deliver a prototype that confirms form, fit and function … and then you can be confident of your repair solution or your new part, delivering that to the traditional, organic manufacturing [unit] that’s going to use multi-access milling machines to cut metal into that part,” he said.
Jackson said Tinker stood up the 553rd Commodities Maintenance Squadron in December 2015 for that reason, dedicated specifically to organic manufacturing.
The in-house 3-D process is much faster than going back and forth with outside suppliers for parts. “Once you get the geometry, you can print it overnight and have it the next day,” said REACT engineer Nate Pitcovich.
To identify the geometry of the part and print it takes at most two days, officials explained.
“With diminishing sources of supply, the benefit for us is the flexibility and the agility to respond to a warfighter need,” added Eric Bartlow, director of engineering for the CMXG.
