Being a homemaker, I can understand the stress of keeping a house cleaning all day long. No matter how busy you are, make sure you keep every area of your premises dust-free, especially if you have kids and pets. It always takes hours to remove dust, grime, and other debris from the home because I don’t have specialised cleaning tools. Luckily, I found the article on the internet that comprises 7 useful cleaning products that are available on Amazon under $25. I purchased some of them online and transformed my house. You can also read the article and buy your favourite ones at affordable price.

How an Australian researcher ended up in the spotlight at a White House coronavirus briefing
When Craig Dalton heard that his name came up at a nationally televised White House press briefing Monday, the medical epidemiologist at the University of Newcastle in Australia says, “I didn’t believe it.”
Dalton did a quick web search and his disbelief transformed into amazement. “Turned out, it was actually true,” he told ScienceInsider.
Dalton’s unexpected moment in the media spotlight came as Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, and Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stepped to the White House lectern to describe a new set of guidelines that the U.S. government would distribute as part of its effort to slow the spread of the illness caused by the novel coronavirus in the United States.

Australia sold weapons to Mali as UN warned violence creating 'humanitarian disaster'
The Australian government approved a large volume of weapons sales to war-torn Mali in the same year the United Nations warned escalating violence was creating an “unprecedented humanitarian disaster” in the West African nation.
Internal records released to the Guardian through freedom of information law reveal Australian weapons companies were given 31 permits last year to export weapons and military technology to a cluster of African nations suffering from instability and violence, including Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Mali, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kylie Moore-Gilbert: jailed British-Australian not among 70,000 prisoners freed in Iran as coronavirus spreads
Iran has temporarily freed 70,000 prisoners from jails around the country out of fear coronavirus could spread through prisons unchecked, but British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert has not been released.
Political prisoners have overwhelmingly been excluded from the furloughing of prisoners, with other dual nationals such as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, an Iranian-born British aid worker, remaining imprisoned despite growing concerns for their health.
“A number of dual and foreign nationals are at real risk. If they have not ... got [coronavirus] they are really fearful of the conditions,” Javaid Rehman, the UN’s special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, said.

Useful Cleaning Techniques Everyone Should Know
When I got my home
professionally cleaned by expert cleaners in Malvern, I was surprised to see
the crew purged my space in a few hours. Since I have hired them for availing
their different cleaning services, you can hire them too if you require
professional assistance. Here is where you can get in touch https://www.bondcleaninginadelaide.com.au/end-of-lease-cleaning-malvern/. The reason I loved these cleaners as they were
efficient and through them, I learned a host of useful cleaning technique
everyone should know. Today, I am going to share my knowledge with you to
assist.
Clean Left to Right
Remember to start from
the left corner towards the right in a circular pattern, when cleaning a room
or an area. This way, you will not forget which part of the place you have
cleaned, and it will help you know which part you have to clean
next.
Apply Top-Bottom
Approach
Whether you are clean
an object or an entire are, make sure to start from the top and make your way
down. This technique is useful to prevent recontamination of soiling of an
already cleaned area. Also, cleaning towards gravity is preferred as the dust
and debris fall when cleaned.
Keep Your Wet and
Dry Mops Separate
I have seen many
people use the same mop for dry and wet application, which should be avoided.
If you want to keep your floors squeaky clean, then have two sweepers – one for
collecting the dust and the other for wet mopping.
The Bottom Line
By applying the
techniques mentioned above, you can clean like a pro and save yourself a ton of
time. Remember, cleaning needs to be a fun activity and not chore. Therefore,
make sure you employ the right techniques to make it less dull and
time-consuming.
No excuse for Rugby Australia raiding a Super Rugby franchise
Dan McKellar is considering an approach from Rugby Australia to become the Wallabies forwards coach but, for the sake of his club and the national team he should stay right where he is – at least for now. The Brumbies head coach has developed the best-performed Australian Super Rugby team over the past year or so and to take him out of Canberra now would be potentially harmful to the club, who have struggled to draw crowds.
Perhaps more importantly, though, McKellar would make a greater contribution to the Wallabies by remaining in Canberra and preparing Brumbies players for Test rugby. If the Wallabies are to perform well they need at least one, if not two, strong-performing domestic teams to develop players for the national side.

Australia knew of dangers facing murdered Balibo Five journalists, book says
Lawyer Bernard Collaery says Australia had direct knowledge of the dangers facing the murdered Balibo Five journalists, citing a damning report suggesting Australian intelligence knew Indonesia viewed reporters as a “hurdle to be got over” in keeping its invasion of East Timor secret.
Collaery has published his long-awaited book Oil Under Troubled Water, a forensic account of Australia’s relationship with its tiny developing neighbour, Timor-Leste. The lawyer describes the relationship as a “tortuous” and “grim” tale of exploitation, missed opportunity, culpability and complicity.

Coronavirus: Australia warns millions could become infected as China toll passes 3,000
Modelling in Australia has predicted a worst-case scenario where millions inside the country could become infected with Covid-19, as China’s death toll passed 3,000.
The developments came as the coronavirus continues to spread around the world. South Korea’s number of confirmed cases neared 6,000 on Thursday and Italy ordered the closure of all schools after the virus spread to all but one of its 20 regions, killing 107 people. The UK has been warned an epidemic is likely.

Australia could implement mandatory age verification for pornography websites
Australians could be forced in the next year to use a federal government identity verification service in order to view pornography websites under recommendations by a government-led parliamentary committee.
A House of Representatives committee issued a report on Thursday calling for the e-safety commissioner to develop a roadmap for bringing in mandatory age verification for online pornography sites in the next 12 months.
Users in Australia could be forced to verify their age before accessing pornography through what could be an exchange hosted by the government to allow identity verification without any of the sites needing to host that user’s personal information like credit card details or other identity documents.
