iRobot Scooba 390

Autonomous cleaning robots? The future is now?and has been for a decade. While it's no Wall-E, the iRobot Roomba has been dutifully vacuuming homes for over 10 years. The iRobot Scooba 390 ($499 direct) is the mopping counterpart to the vacuum-only Roomba and shares that familiar puck-like design. The newest Scooba is bigger and more versatile than the older Scooba 230?($299, 3 stars), taking on both vacuum and mop duties to get your floors squeaky clean, but it's also $200 more expensive. As a tech enthusiast and verifiable sluggard, I was instantly drawn to the Scooba's promise of clean floors with the press of a button. However, while it got my floors sufficiently clean, it was no more impressive than a Swiffer WetJet, and I'd much rather have that $500 for something like, say, the new iPad.

Design, Setup, and Cleaning Process
At first glance, the Scooba 390 is indistinguishable from the vacuum-only Roomba. At 14.6 inches in diameter and 8.6 pounds, the Scooba 390 is significantly larger than the last model we tested?the Scooba 230 was less than half the size and weight, at 6.5 inches in diameter and 3 pounds. There are benefits and limitations to both designs, but more on that later.?

The Scooba 390 resembles a two-tone gray puck, with a silver handle and two buttons, Power and Play/Pause, on top. There is a blue line between the handle and buttons, which also denotes where the two parts of the Scooba separate. Pressing, not pulling, on the handle releases the top portion of the Scooba, revealing the tank for water and cleaning solution, as well as the battery and separate compartments for collected dust and grime.

Setup is simple and straightforward, requiring only three steps to get started: First, plug in and charge the Scooba 390 with the included AC adapter; remove the tank and fill with water and Scooba cleaning solution (four packets are included); then simply press Power and then Play to get started. The tank is separated into Clean and Dirty compartments, and can be filled with just water if you don't want to spend $12.99 on the recommended iRobot solution. Once you're done, empty the tank and clean out whatever debris and hair has accumulated in the vacuum filter.

So how does this robot actually work? The Scooba 390 uses the same iAdapt Responsive Cleaning system as previous Scoobas and current Roombas, which is just iRobot's way to describe the system of sensors and programming that helps the Scooba learn the lay of your floors. The Scooba 390 uses a four-stage cleaning process, which is similar to the previous Scooba's, but adds one essential step?prepping and vacuuming. Unlike with the Scooba 230, you will not have to sweep your place up before running the motorized mop. All of the steps happen more or less simultaneously, as the various brushes and nozzles on the bottom of the Scooba are in order?first the vacuuming ports, then the solution spray, then a scrubbing brush, and finally a squeegee for drying.

iRobot programmed the Scooba with dozens of robotic movements and behaviors. Over 60 times per second, the Scooba calculates which movement to use, utilizing wall-hugging and cliff-detection to ensure that the robot covers the most surface area possible. Watching the Scooba go to work was fairly entertaining, as it executed a wide array of spins, shuffles, straight dashes, and double-backs to cover the floor of my apartment.

If you have a carpet, you'll need to set up the included virtual wall, as the Scooba cannot clean carpets or rugs. The virtual wall is a small rectangular cube that sends a signal to the Scooba to go no further. It takes two D-sized batteries, and you can set the range for the signal to cut off larger rooms if necessary.

Yemen's new president fires old regime loyalists in major shake-up of country's military

SANAA, Yemen - Yemen's newly appointed president has fired several old-regime figures and relatives of the former leader in a major shake-up of the country's military, a move meant to show he was making good on promises of reforms in the wake of his predecessor's ouster.

A statement by President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi on Friday said four governors and over a dozen military generals were sacked "to make way for new officials."

The shake-up came against the backdrop of growing concerns that Yemen's former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was using the loyalists to further destabilize the turmoil-wracked country. The move also came as hundreds of thousands of Yemenis took to the streets demanding that Hadi purge the military of Saleh's relatives.

Among those sacked were some of Saleh's relatives, including his half brother who was the Air Force commander, and his nephew, who headed the presidential guard. In his more than 30 years as president, Saleh had stacked key security posts with relatives and loyalists.

Hadi also sacked a brother-in-law to Saleh's daughter who had headed a lucrative oil products distribution company, which was seen as an arm of the former president's vast economic wealth.

Saleh had clung to office during last year's uprising against his rule until he eventually signed a U.S.-backed, Gulf-brokered power transfer deal and handed power over to Hadi, his deputy at the time. The deal allowed Saleh to remain as head of the ruling party and granted him immunity from prosecution in return for leaving the presidency.

In February, Hadi was rubber-stamped as president in a nationwide vote in which he was the only candidate. He vowed to fight al-Qaida, which had exploited the country's yearlong turmoil to make substantial gains in the south, and restructure the armed forces, in which Saleh's loyalists and family members held key posts.

Saleh's half brother, Mohammed Saleh al-Ahmar, was sacked as Air Force commander and appointed assistant defence minister, an administrative post. He was replaced by the former governor of Marib province, Najeb Ali al-Zayedi.

The purge came just weeks after air force units ended their mutiny against al-Ahmar after Hadi promised to fire him. Al-Ahmar, who held the post for more than 20 years, had also angered the troops when he recently refused an order for helicopters to evacuate wounded soldiers after an al-Qaida attack killed more than 180 soldiers in the south.

Many in the military and government say that refusal was one example of how Saleh worked behind the scenes to obstruct the country's new U.S.-backed government as it struggles to bring about reforms. Air force officials said al-Ahmar called on the units after the Friday announcement, urging them to reject the shake-up.

Navy official Col. Mohamed Shimsan said the purge was a "very important step."

"It restores faith that had been missing in the government and reveals Hadi's power and his ability to make real changes, even with those close to Saleh," Shimsan told The Associated Press in Sanaa.

Hadi also replaced Saleh's nephew, Tariq Mohamed Abdullah Saleh, as the head of the Presidential Guard, transferring him to a desert post. Longtime Saleh loyalist Mohammed Ali Mohsen was replaced as head of the Military's Eastern Command, which is responsible for areas where al-Qaida is active. He was transferred to an administrative post.

Other shake-ups included the replacements of governors in four provinces where al-Qaida has been active or had taken over large swaths of territory.

One was the governor of Abyan province, who was believed to have turned a blind eye to al-Qaida's growing influence during the uprising against Saleh as a way of warning the West and Gulf neighbours that without the longtime president, Yemen's security would unravel.

The governors of Marib, Hajja and Taiz were also replaced, according to the statement from Hadi's office.

But the sweeping changes have not affected all Saleh loyalists.

The ex-president's son Ahmed Ali Abdullah Saleh retained command of the Republican Guard, while another nephew, Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, kept his job as the head of the Central Security Forces.

In Washington, a State Department official welcomed the changes in Sanaa. "The Yemeni people have expressed their desire for political reform and a more representative government," said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Another U.S. official said the development appeared to show Hadi was both trying to appease protesters, and comply with the Gulf-brokered deal.

"But Hadi has pragmatically kept some of Saleh's military supporters and rivals in place," the official said, speaking anonymously because the official was not authorized to discuss the changes publicly.

In recent weeks, the military has been waging intense battles in the south to rout the militants. The area has seen heavy fighting in the past week after two subsequent militant attacks on Yemeni army bases. Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen, known as Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the terror movement's most dangerous offshoots.

Violence has continued to shake Yemen daily.

On Friday, a suspected al-Qaida militant died in a botched suicide attack on an intelligence office in the city of Mansoura in Aden province, after his explosives detonated prematurely, security officials said. A civilian who was likely tricked into giving him a ride on a motorcycle also died in the blast.

Another botched attack took place in Bayda province on Friday, where officials say a suicide bomber explosives detonated just a few hundred meters from an intelligence building.

In southern Abyan province, military officials and residents said the army pounded militant hideouts Friday in the city of Jaar, firing rockets and shelling barren farmland for several hours. Military officials said the land was used by al-Qaida as a meeting point and for weapons storage. There was no immediate report of any casualties. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with military regulations.

Nearby Star May Have More Planets Than Our Solar System

Now you KNOW there's gonna be a jump-start in the government throwing big bucks into NASA. If they did it during the Communist vs. Capitalist dick-waving that went on for decades, how are they going to tolerate the idea that there are other planets out there, ones that MIGHT get to other exoplanets first? The fear, anger, propaganda... I can see Obama now...

"By 2419, we will send a man to 51 Pegasi b!"

It'd be better in a Boston accent, but hey, let's get our light-speed on!

Pole Dancing For Health And Fitness | Internet Millionaire Articles

?

When you hear the words ?pole dancing?, you probably think of a smoke-filled nightclub with provocatively gyrating strippers. But there?s more to pole dancing than exotic adult entertainment. In fact, in the last few years, pole dancing has become a hot fitness trend for women regardless of weight, age and fitness levels. Intrigued? Read on for more about the history and fitness benefits of pole dancing.

History of pole dancing

Historians argue that pole dance originated in the 12th century with the Maypole dance, a pagan fertility celebration. More recent beginnings of pole dancing can be traced all the way back to the 1920s when travelling Chinese troupes performed in circus acts using the tent?s pole as part of their dance routines.

In the 1950s, many bars began to feature pole dance in a bid to attract more customers and it was only in the 1980s that pole dancing began to be used in Canada as an entertainment feature in exotic strip clubs. Today, over 200,000 pole dancers perform in pole dance studios and clubs in over 70 countries around the world. Pole dancing has become so popular that professional pole dance competitions are held in many countries to recognise the hard work and skill of the dancers.

Health and fitness benefits of pole dancing

Though pole dancing continues to be wildly popular as exotic entertainment, it also has a brand new avatar today. It is now a legitimate, fun and effective exercise option for women due to the various fitness benefits it affords. Pole dancing requires intense training and endurance. Dancers need to be flexible, agile and very strong to gracefully execute the athletic moves of pole dancing. Pole dance instructors contend that this exercise form sculpts and strengthens the upper and lower body, resulting in overall weight loss and a toned figure.

Here are some of the other benefits of fitness pole dancing:

It burns hundreds of calories while you?re having fun.

It builds abdominal muscles, giving you a slender waistline.

It sculpts the back, and arm muscles so you can flaunt those sexy tops.

It builds overall flexibility and stamina which makes you stronger.

Physical benefits aside, fitness pole dancing is an enjoyable way to build your confidence. It makes your body movements graceful, makes you more attuned to rhythm and music and gives you a general sense of euphoria. Pole dance is just as effective as Pilates and yoga as far as exercise benefits are concerned. But it is important that you learn its manoeuvres from an experienced instructor and follow all safety instructions.

So, are you ready to embrace this latest fitness craze?
