Dyson DC49: Mini vacuum cleaner that is no bigger than a sheet of A4 paper
Dyson has announced yet another, even smaller, vacuum cleaner, this time the DC49, that has a footprint no bigger than a sheet of A4 paper.
The new mini-cleaner, designed originally for small Japanese homes, has become the company's smallest and quietest cleaner yet, and is getting a UK release - it turns out we now have small homes too.
It's so small, that the DC49's body weighs 2.7kg and is 30 per cent smaller than the previous model; the DC47 Ball vacuum cleaner already on the market.
But don't let that fool you, Dyson has packed the new model with a more-powerful motor than last time and the DC49 can now pick up even smaller items than before.
The small size does come at a cost however, the bin is tiny at 0.5 litres, but Dyson tells Pocket-lint this should still be ample for small homes.
The company has managed to get down to such a diminutive size thanks to the introduction of a new digital motor that is half the size of the previous model and it is hoping to roll it out to other models in the future.
The DC49 comes with both turbinehead and motorhead floor tools with further accessories that can be bolted on.
It also features the new carbon fibre filaments and nylon brushes introduced on other cleaners from Dyson recently, which work to pick up even more dirt than previous models: we know, because we've tried it.
The Dyson DC49 is available now and costs £349.99.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/28/14 -- iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ISD) (OTCQX:ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, today announced that it has entered into an Memorandum of Agreement ("Agreement") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of POS Canada ("POS").
Under the terms of the Agreement which is non-binding, iSIGN will acquire all outstanding shares of POS Canada on or before July 31, 2014. Pursuant to the Agreement iSIGN will now complete its due diligence process and if satisfactory, will proceed to negotiate the terms of a definitive Purchase Agreement, The acquisition is subject to executing a legally binding Purchase Agreement between the parties and to obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval.
The acquisition of POS will provide the Company with an immediate expanded source of revenue from POS' existing base of approximately 2,000 clients in the high-end corporate hospitality and retail industries and provides iSIGN with an immediate client and data base for its Point of Sales Data Acquisition ("PDAQ") solution and hardware.
The PDAQ solution results in the Company being able to provide a truly unique offering that joins POS' leading edge point-of-sale hardware and software with iSIGN's proximity-based Smart Antenna and Smart Player hardware, which broadcasts to mobile devices, as well as the ability to manage digital signage. The Integrated data from point-of-sale, digital signage and proximity mobile broadcasting assets will be the first of its kind in the world, providing information from a range of sources in real-time to advertisers, brands and the hospitality and retail industries. It further allows the Company to marry point-of-sale data with data gathered from mobile interactions to provide a more enhanced and valuable inventory of data that the Company expects will be of great interest to clients, advertisers and brands.
iSIGN's data partners and clients consider the ability to review, compare and potentially combine insights from mobile interaction data with those derived from point-of-sale installations to be of prime importance to the Company's ability to grow its data sales business and to increase its data sales pricing based on significant additional value.
Following the completion of the acquisition of POS Canada by iSIGN, iSIGN intends to file additional patent applications, ancillary to its already granted patent Application No. 11/986,650, Art Unit 3693.
iSIGN's application for a patent on its "method and system for out-of-home proximity marketing and for delivering awareness information" was initially filed November 27, 2007 and published on April 17, 2008. The additional patent application will be requested for iSIGN's unique method of collecting and integrating mobile proximity data, customer loyalty and data base data, with POS data, and the resulting insights. This intellectual property will be monetized and provide further sources of revenue for iSIGN.
Both parties are committed to finalizing the acquisition and believe that it will result in a strong company uniquely positioned to take advantage of their mutual and combined strengths to the advantage of both its clients and shareholders.

Simon Busuttil: anti-corruption protest a national, not partisan issue
"Corruption is natural wherever humanity is involved, but the measure of a leader is how they react to such corruption" - PN leader
Martina Borg
6 March 2016, 11:06am
Speaking during a political activity in Bormla, Busuttil said that today's protest was a "national protest" and that it was an opportunity for people who truly loved their country to "stand up against corruption."
"The government is in a crisis of corruption, and this corruption has seeped into the highest levels of government," he said, making particular reference to the offshore companies held by energy and health minister Konrad Mizzi and the Prime Minister's chief of staff Keith Schembri.
Stressing that Prime minister Joseph Muscat's government had presented a series of scandals in just three years in office, Busuttil stressed that the PN was no longer willing to accept or indeed believe the excuses being made by the government.
"Muscat is choosing to defend and stand by people whose interests are questionable," he said, adding that many were losing their trust and faith in the government as a result.
Admitting that many questioned the PN's credentials to talk about good governance and corruption, Busuttil said that although the PN had been in government for 25 years, corruption, although arguably present, had never been allowed to reach such heights.
"Wherever there is humanity, there can be corruption," he said, "But the issue here is whether the government takes action against corrupt individuals, and Muscat isn't."
Busuttil further stressed that he had entered politics specifically to clean-out the party, and that he had been faced with tough challenges and hurdles throughout his years as party leader.
"I can safely say I passed all these tests, unlike Muscat, who dragged his feet on so many issues and chose to defend so many corrupt people," Busuttil said.
Busuttil reiterated that the PN's new challenge and cause would be to clean out politics once and for all.
Adding that the party had chosen to address its political activity in Bormla, a traditionally Labour stronghold, Busuttil made an impassioned plea to Labour supporters who felt like they were being betrayed by current events and the rampant corruption.
"I urge anyone who has these feelings to speak out and stop this corruption from taking over," he said.
"The government's mud slinging tactics have completely degenerated politics," he said, adding that the government continued to make unsubstantiated attacks that were not based on facts to attack members of the opposition.

Lindsay Lohan arrested after 'clipping a pedestrian with her car and leaving the scene'
- Lindsay was attempting to park outside Dream Hotel in NYC
- Actress and her friends entered the hotel shortly after incident at 12.30am
- Police were waiting outside and arrested her when she left at 2.30am
- Surveillance footage throws doubt over whether of not car made impact with pedestrian
Lindsay Lohan was arrested in New York during the early hours of Wednesday morning on charges that she clipped a pedestrian with her car and did not stop, police have confirmed.
The Liz & Dick star was preparing to park her Porsche Cayenne at the Dream Hotel in
Manhattan at 12.30am when she allegedly hit the knee of an unnamed man
in his 30s.
One of
Lindsay's passengers got out and checked her vehicle for damage, and
then the group continued into the hotel to attend an event it was reported.
Not the best driving history: Lindsay has had a number of accidents in recent years
When Lindsay emerged from the venue at 2.30am, police were waiting for her and she was arrested.
The scene: The Dream Hotel in New York City, where the alleged incident occurred
The 26-year-old star was booked for the misdemeanour offence of leaving the scene of an accident and released with a desk appearance ticket - meaning she did not have to pay bail before her release.
The alleged victim was not knocked down by the vehicle and had no visible injuries, but was still taken to hospital.
Though the offence is a misdemeanour, it could trigger a probation violation in the Mean Girls star's 2011 jewellery theft case as one of the conditions of probation is that she obeys all laws.
Lindsay is allegedly describing the incident as 'really fishy'. And the troubled star believes
she is the victim of a 'set up' and plans to fight the claims.
This is not the first time the actress had been involved in a car crash.
In June of this year Lindsay smashed up another Porsche after claiming she was cut up by a truck.
actress later blamed the manufacturing of the vehicle but tests carried
out after the crash found the breaks were working fine.
In May of 2007, Lindsay was arrested
on suspicion of drinking under the influence and this led to her heading
for rehab for 45 days.
In July of that year, Lindsay refused to take a sobriety test and was taken to a police station where her blood alcohol level was over the limit. She also had some cocaine in her pocket.
Smashed up: In July of this year the actress crashed her Porsche while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway in LA
who spent 23 days in jail after violating her probation agreement
following a DUI, took to her Twitter page recently to blast law
enforcement officers for not doing more to stop actress Amanda Bynes who
was caught driving with a suspended licence recently.
She tweeted: 'Why did I get put in jail and a nickelodeon star has had NO punishment(s) so far?'
Just last
month, Lindsay was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department over
the purported theft of $100,000 worth of luxury items from the home of
her multimillionaire friend Sam Magid.
More mugshots than sense! Lindsay has been arrested many times and has had mugshots dating from October 2011 (Left) and as she posed for police mugshots on September 24
You've been framed! The actress has also been snapped in July 2010 (left) November 2007 (centre) and July 2007 (right)
The L.A. County District Attorney dropped burglary charges due to 'insufficient evidence'.
After being charged with misdemeanor theft and probation violation in February 2011 following the shoplifting of a necklace from a Venice Beach store, Lindsay was sentenced to 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service.
In addition, she was also ordered to remain under supervision whilst completing all of her community service.
Can't stay out of trouble: Lindsay was seen in New York earlier this week at Lady Gaga's perfume launch at the Guggenheim museum
Coming soon: Lindsay stars as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick
The actress pleaded no contest in court, and was put under house arrest complete with ankle bracelet monitor due to jail overcrowding.
Lindsay was then later sentenced to 30 days in jail and 400 hours of community service in November, after she was found guilty of violating her probation because she failed to perform her community service at a Los Angeles morgue.
She entered jail on November 7, 2011, but was released after just under five hours, again due to overcrowding.
actress finally ended her supervised probation in March this year after
fulfilling all of her community service and therapy requirements.
And despite being involved in the hit and run and car crash earlier this year, has remained relatively out of trouble.
She is currently trying to get her life and career back on track, and recently completed filming Liz & Dick, the Lifetime Elizabeth Taylor biopic, and independent film, The Canyons, written by Bret Easton Ellis and directed by Paul Schrader.
A spokesperson for Lindsay refused to comment to MailOnline.
In court: Lindsay and her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley at the Los Angeles Courthouse in October 2011
Lindsay Lohan admits to having bulimia and taking drugs in the past in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
The actress' mother reveals she has joined Alcoholics Anonymous.
She checks into rehab at the Wonderland Centre in L.A. for the first time.
Lindsay crashes her Mercedes and was cited for driving under the influence. Police found a substance tentatively identified as 'a usable amount of cocaine' in connection with the accident.
She returns to rehab for the second time.
Just 11 days after leaving rehab, Lohan is arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Santa Monica. The star, who was wearing an alcohol detection ankle bracelet, is booked for DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended license.
Lindsay checked in for her third rehab stint, this time at the exclusive Cirque Lodge Treatment Centre in Utah.
She serves just 84 minutes in jail and begins community service as part of the plea deal for her two DUI convictions.
After failing to turn up to a scheduled court hearing, Lohan in ordered to wear a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet and is ordered to random drug testing.
Her SCRAM bracelet is set off while she attends a MTV Awards after-party.
Lohan begins serving 90 days at Lynwood jail in California for violating her probation in her DUI case. She is released for good behaviour after serving just 13 days.
She checks in for a court ordered stint in rehab. She spends three weeks in UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Hospital.
The actress is back in court after failing a drug test. A judge orders her to return to jail for 30 days. She appeals and a supervising judge allows her to leave after less than 14 hours behind bars. She later posts $300,000 bail. She checks into rehab for the fourth time.
Lindsay Lohan investigated by police after allegedly assaulting a female employee at the Betty Ford Centre.
She is discharged from the clinic after three months.
After being investigation for stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, California, jewellery store, she is formally charged with one count of felony grand theft and her bail is set at $20,000.
She is offered a plea deal in her theft case which involves jail time.
Determined to prove her innocence, Lohan rejects the plea deal and moves forward with a trial.
Police decide not to prosecute the star over her alleged assault of Betty Ford Centre employee.
Lohan scores a victory after her felony grand theft charge is reduced to a misdemeanour. Hours later, she is found in violation of her probation – from a previous DUI case - and sentenced to four months jail - but was later bailed after posting $75,000 bond and will now appeal.
After being convicted, of the misdemeanour of theft and probation violation, and sentenced to 120 days in prison she was placed under house arrest due to overcrowding in jail. She spent 35 days at her home in Venice.
Found guilty of violating her probation after failing to complete morgue duty and sentenced to 30 days in jail and 400 hours of community service.
Spent just 5 hours in prison due to overcrowding.
Lindsay's supervised probation ended after she completed the community service and therapy. She will still be on informal probation for the necklace theft until May 2014, with the only requirement to follow the law
Actress is asked to leave Chateau Marmont after failing to pay $46,000.
Named as a suspect in $100,000 heist from friend's all charges were later dropped

The new Sunriver Police Chief will be the man who has been the interim police chief. Captain Marc Mills from the Deschutes County Sheriffs Office will be Sunriver's new Police Chief. He took over back in February, when the previous police chief was fired. The Sunriver Board had narrowed down the candidates to two: Marc Mills and a police chief from northern Washington state. Ron Angell, who serves on the Sunriver Board is happy with their decision: "He has great experience and all the right credentials and great compassion for the job. He seems like he will really enjoy the community and will become involved with all aspects of the community. We're very excited about that aspect of Marc's demeanor." Mills was on loan from the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office while he was the Interim Police Chief.

PORTLAND, OR -- (Marketwire) -- 12/05/12 -- Addressing the dual challenges of increasing scrutiny of environmental risks and the intensifying need for organizations to streamline compliance with government regulations, Verdant Web Technologies LLC (Verdant) has launched in Portland, Oregon with a mission to help multi-facility organizations create uniform, paperless and cost-efficient environmental compliance data that will meet the stringent requirements of environmental regulators.
A wholly owned subsidiary of leading NW consulting firm PBS Environmental + Engineering Inc., Verdant was created to leverage the power of technology to simplify and lower the cost of developing and maintaining asbestos surveys, lead information, drinking water data, training records and other regulatory data. Modules for these and other environmental issues are bundled to create a custom platform for easy, web-based data management.
"Verdant uses technology to do what technology does best," says PBS President and Verdant co-founder Ron Petti, "and that is to store, organize and make readily accessible large amounts of data in a simple and cost effective way."
According to Petti, environmental regulators are becoming increasingly open to technology solutions to satisfy environmental record keeping requirements. "We're finding a growing acceptance, particularly in EPA Region 10, of paperless, web-based data management systems for environmental recordkeeping. Our instincts tell us that this acceptance will only grow as regulators observe how superior these systems perform, while also lowering the cost of compliance and reducing the overall environmental footprint of paper-based record keeping," said Petti.
Verdant Web Technologies' customized data modules can be populated from archived information or through ongoing data input by the user. Other Verdant services include organization of archived data, scanning and uploading, interactive facility plans, database creation, and web hosting services.
The Verdant data center features the latest modern enterprise level information technologies for reliability and performance. The Verdant web hosting servers exist in a redundant cloud, backed by an enterprise-level fiber internet connection that has uptime in excess of 99.99%. The web and database connectivity is secured using industry-standard encryption for privacy.
Verdant is headquartered in Portland, Oregon and has a core team consisting of industry practitioners and software developers with more than 25 years of experience in the environmental compliance industry. Verdant clients include school districts, universities, public agencies, hospitals, and large-scale corporations. Read more about Verdant at www.verdantwebtech.com.

Better Public Services Through Experimental Government, March 2015
How do we know, in advance, that a social policy will work? Often the honest answer is we don't because, unlike other areas where experimentation is gaining currency, in social policy, we don't test things out.
This paper advocates for the need for an experimental ethos in government. Arguing that testing things out doesn't mean the abandonment of values and beliefs. Rather it allows for the systematic testing out of policies before roll out thereby supporting the efficient use of public funds and the maximising of public good.

Murihiku Polyfest: Don't forget about us
Relevant offers
Murihiku Polyfest organisers are warning the Government not to forget about the southern pasifika community.
Minister of Pacific Island Affairs Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga has announced, if re-elected, the National government would give $200,000 to the Auckland ASB Polyfest during the next three years.
About 9000 pupils from schools across Auckland participate in the annual event.
However, Murihiku Polyfest co-ordinator Lisa Tou-McNaughton said, per capita, the Southland festival attracted a bigger crowd than the ASB Polyfest.
Almost 4000 pupils participated in the event, which ran from August 26-29, she said.
The total population of Southland, according to 2013 Census data, is 93,339.
This compares to 9000 pupils participating at the ASB Polyfest, out of Auckland's population of 1.42 million.
While the announcement was exciting for the ASB Polyfest, the numbers showed Southland's event was also worthy of funding, Tou-McNaughton said.
"[Murihiku Polyfest] is a pretty big event in the scheme of things.
"Don't forget about us."
The participation rate also demonstrated how much Murihiku Polyfest had been embraced by the Southland community, she said.
Lotu-Iiga said there were no plans at this stage to provide funding for other festivals, like Murihiku Polyfest, but the Government would be happy to look at proposals and submit feedback.
The ASB Polyfest was one of the largest in the world, and the additional funding would help ensure its sustainability, he said.
The cost of staging the event had increased during the years, and this year's festival had been hit hard by Cyclone Lusi, which affected attendance and revenue, Lotu-Iiga said.
The minister believed celebrating cultural identity was essential for the wellbeing of a community, and said the Government recognised the need to preserve Pacific language, culture and values.
Events such as the ASB and Murihiku Polyfest provided opportunities for families and young people to come together and share their cultural heritage through song, speech and dance.

Title: Propagation of non-native, poisonous oleanders
Answered by: Joe Marcus
QUESTION:How do I propagate oleanders? Can the cuttings be rooted in water? Or is it better to use rooting hormone and stick the cuttings in the soil?
Our area of study and expertise at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is limited to native North American plant species. Oleander, Nerium oleander is a native of the eastern Mediterranean, northern Africa and southeastern Asia. The beautiful, but extremely poisonous evergreen shrub has been planted widely in the tropical and sub-tropical parts of the United States for many years.
If you wish to propagate your oleander, you should take care not to ingest or otherwise expose yourself to the sap of the plant. All parts very poisonous; even exposure to smoke from burning oleander is harmful. A single leaf ingested by a small child can be fatal and there are many cases of oleander poisoning when branches were used to spear food for grilling.
Nerium oleander is best propagated by stem cuttings, but layering and seed propagation are also useful. Oleander stem cuttings can be easily rooted in water. Here is a well written article on Stem Cutting Propagation, published by North Carolina State University. Finally, an excellent resource on oleander culture is the website of the International Oleander Society.

The Valley
28 September
After a less than satisfactory second-half perfornmce on Saturday, the Addicks have a quick opporunity to put on a display for the Valley faithful tonight.
For the second week running, it was an entirely different post-interval performance from Charlton on Saturday. The slick, high tempo game that tore Dagenham apart early on was replaced by desperate long hoofs upfield. Not sure what goes on in the dressing room at half-time but it has the opposite effect of the Fergie hairdryer.
The Dons are just outside the play-off places having lost at Peterborough on Saturday. They have also tasted defeat at high flying Brighton and Carlisle but won at Walsall.
Worner, made some fine stops on Saturday though his lack of height is a concern. Fry may come in for Llera who, despite the goal, had a poor game against Dagenham. There are few options in midfield given the current injury situation so Scott Wagstaff will probably continue in his less favoured wide left role. Retaining Llera with Fry filling in at left-back and Jackson pushed further forward is another option.
If Anyinsah fails to make it, the manager has to choose between Akpo Sodje and Pawel Abbott if the latter is fit. Abbott has looked short of confidence recently so Parkinson may start with Sodje.
A tense, edgy night at The Valley beckons.
To compound matters for Phil Parkinson his side picked up injuries during the game. Already without Youga, Dailly and Elliot, he lost Abbott and McCormack prior to the match with Martin having to pass a fitness test.
Joe Anyinsah had to be replaced at the break, suffering from a back problem, with Kyel Reid also having to be replaced after sustaining a dead leg. Dailly, and possibly Elliot, should be available for Brentford but of the other walking wounded, Abbott is the most likely to feature tonight.
The Dons lost at high-flying Peterborough on Saturday but will probably go with the same squad.
Jock Waugh from South Yorkshire will be the man in the middle.
