First home buyers are keeping their hope of home ownership alive by taking out record breaking loans. New home loan data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics has revealed that rising property prices across Australia forced buyers to take out an average loan of $340,200 to secure a house in June. 'As prices move up, people have to borrow more to buy their first home,' AMP chief economist Shane Oliver told Domain. This was an extra $31,600 on top of last years, making it the highest average loan amount on record. The amount is also growing by the month, with the figure rising $7000 between May and June of this year.First home buyers are keeping their aspirations of home ownership aliveAustralians looking to buy are borrowing record amounts of moneyData shows that buyers took out average loan of $340,200 in JuneProperty prices in Sydney sees buyers taking an average loan of $398,600

(CNN) Hurricane Matthew started pounding the eastern coast of Florida as far south as Miami on Thursday afternoon. The storm has been described as historic and extremely dangerous. But there may be one benefit to the storm's torrential rains: It could put a temporary halt on the mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus. To date, there have been 141 locally transmitted cases of Zika reported in Florida since the end of July. What does that have to do with a hurricane? Adult mosquitoes get washed away by heavy rain. This includes Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which transmit the Zika virus. In the short term, from the first few days to about a week after the storm, the mosquito cycle is naturally interrupted -- and that can have a beneficial effect on Zika transmission. In fact, initially after a big storm, there can be a decrease in all mosquitoes.Heavy rain from storms such as hurricanes can initially decrease mosquito populationsAfter the storm, residents need to use repellant while cleaning up and rebuilding

(CNN) -- Doctors will often prepare for surgical procedures by opening instrument and supply kits that contain up to 100 items. Many of these items, such as scalpels, needles or sponges, go unused; they're just not needed for that particular procedure. But because of government or hospital regulations in the United States, they are frequently thrown away, even when they are still wrapped. "There are thousands of tons of medical supplies thrown away every day that are unused or clearly reusable," said Dr. Bruce Charash, a cardiologist in New York. Fortunately, some nonprofit organizations, including Charash's Doc2Dock group, are finding ways to salvage these items and get them to people who need them desperately around the world.Third World hospitals are saving lives with discarded medical materials from the U.S.These supplies are clean, safe and unused but are thrown out for various reasonsBy salvaging surplus supplies, nonprofits are also reducing waste in America
