Too many vaccuum sales on prime day. Which is the best?

I am looking for a cordless vaccuum, with battery that actually lasts more than 15 minutes. I don't have pets currently but often find my own hair all over the house. Which is actually worth the money? There are a lot of good prime day deals but need help!!

How USAID cuts will affect response to Venezuela Earthquakes

From Northeastern Global News: https://news.northeastern.edu/2026/06/25/rare-earthquake-doublet-that-hit-venezuela/

Expert suggests that the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, has left future international disaster response in a more precarious position. 

“In the past, there was a highly skilled, high-capacity system that would have responded immediately,” Aldrich said. “Now it’s going to be much more ad hoc. That assistance is no longer systematized or built into a regular process.”

New tool estimates per-city excess importation risk for 12 pathogens during the 2026 World Cup

Northeastern's Network Science Institute put together a live dashboard estimating the extra disease risk each of the 11 US World Cup host cities faces from the added incoming travel. It's built through their Epistorm project with the CDC.

They screened 100+ diseases down to 12, and the whole thing updates live as outbreaks develop. The idea is to give local health departments a heads-up on what to actually prep for. Curious what people here make of it.

Shot maps and xG data from 13,000+ matches show how World Cup 2026's top finishers compare

Very interesting and visual analysis from Brennan Klein's research group at Northeastern University's Network Science Institute, using the Hudl StatsBomb event dataset. They logged 3,400+ events per match (every pass, shot, dribble, tackle, pressure, and carry, timestamped and located on the pitch) across more than 13,000 matches from players' most recent club seasons.

The shot maps show each player's attempts by location, with marker size scaled to xG — the probability of that shot becoming a goal given distance, angle, and defensive pressure — and filled markers for goals.

Worth looking at! Do we think data can really determine the best players to keep an eye on for this World Cup?
