Featured News 1: Shoes help out with the housework
A new pair of shoes have been invented that vacuum as you walk.
The Shoover - which makers Electrolux call the Dustmate - has a tiny rechargeable vacuum inside the base.
The shoes are made of green nylon with a flexible rubber sole and elastic sock to fit any foot making it comfortable to wear.
According to the Mirror a spokesman for Electrolux said: "We all have to vacuum our home - this product is designed for busy people who want to keep the housework down to a minimum.
Dustmate provides a cleaning solution that doesn't take up any precious free time.
"As you walk, the base of the shoes collect dust on the floor without requiring any effort. It is a simple yet creative cleaning concept."
The designers came up with the invention after asking consumers what they wanted and finding that they were just too busy to spend lots of time doing housework.
Research found that only 28 per cent Hoover daily - down six per cent in the last two years.

Featured News 2: Snakes used to predict earthquakes
Scientists in China say they can predict earthquakes - by observing behaviour in snakes.
Officials at the earthquake bureau in Nanning, in southern Guangxi province, monitor snake farms via 24-hour Internet video links.
Researchers claim the snakes can sense a quake from 75 miles away, up to five days before it happens.
Jiang Weisong, director of the earthquake bureau in Nanning claims: "Of all the creatures on the Earth, snakes are perhaps the most sensitive to earthquakes.
"When an earthquake is about to occur, snakes will move out of their nests, even in the cold of winter. If the earthquake is a big one, the snakes will even smash into walls while trying to escape," he told China Daily newspaper."
He added: "By installing cameras over the snake nests, we have improved our ability to forecast earthquakes. The system could be extended to other parts of the country to make our earthquake forecasts more precise."
