The Senate building

A new Senate building causes stir in the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, as its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Femi Mimiko, bows out, TEMITAYO FAMUTIMI reports

For the outgoing Vice-Chancellor of the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Prof. Femi Mimiko, his five-year stay at the university has gracefully ended.

The professor of Comparative Political Economy performed his last official duty in office with the inauguration of the institutions Senate building by Governor Olusegun Mimiko, last Friday.

The governor is the Visitor to the university.

For 14 years, the university had carried on with its activities without a Senate building, as members of staff, especially the non-academic ones, huddled up in small buildings scattered around the campus community.

When the construction of the Senate building began on March 7, 2012 by the contractor, Charvet Nigeria Limited, students, teaching and non-teaching staff heaved a loud sigh of relief.

The five-storey Senate building, described by the VC as an iconic product of research, creativity and deep thinking, sits on 12 hectares of land and provides for about 16,000 square metres office space.

The central administration building, which houses the VCs office, Registry, Bursary, a 184-seater Senate Chamber, 50-seater Council Chamber, two 50-seater conference rooms, 10 boardrooms, with 148 offices, among others, is said to have been constructed at an estimated cost of N1bn by the Ondo State Government.

A lecturer in the Department of History and International Studies, AAUA, Ogunode Oyewole, described the facility as the symbol of administration.

LAS VEGAS -- Powerline technology, which turns home electrical wiring into that of a computer network, has always been the fastest way to extend a wired network. And now its connection speed might rival that of a gigabit connection.

D-Link announced Monday at CES 2015 two new adapter kits, the PowerLine AV2 2000 Gigabit Starter Kit (model DHP-701AV) and PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Starter Kit (DHP-601AV), which have top speeds of 2,000Mbps and 1,000Mbps, respectively.

Each of these kits includes two identical adapters, enough to create the first powerline connection, D-Link said. The DHP-701AV is equipped with the latest in HomePlug AV2 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. The addition of MIMO technology allows the adapters to use the fastest two wires in a typical three-wire (live, neutral and ground) installation to achieve speeds up to 2,000Mbps.

The DHP-600AV PowerLine AV2 1000 Gigabit Adapters, on the other hand, uses only a single wire of the electric network to create a connection of up to 1,000Mbps.

Both kits come with power-saving features that reduce power consumption by up to 85 percent, and support 128-bit AES Link Encryption with key management for secure communications.

The DHP-701AV and DHP-601AV will be available in the first quarter of 2015 at the suggested retail price of $129.99 and $79.99, respectively. Check back for full reviews.

Flooded homes caused by leaking water heaters, washing machines, sink and toilet hoses and valves, frozen leaking pipes and other plumbing can be a disaster, destroying your property and precious memories.

Leaking plumbing does not give any warning and can fail without notice. Small leaks can create a flooded home if undetected, even for a couple of hours when at work or away for the night or an extended vacation.

Introducing the ValveSentry - the first and only automatic water shut off device that attaches to the water main valve - no plumbing or permits required!

The ValveSentry device bolts to any ball or gate valve and shuts off the water main when a leak is detected.

Installation of the ValveSentry device is simple and doesn't require any plumbing - installs easily in minutes with ordinary hand tools. And it fits on any type or size of water main shut off valve.

If the water main valve can be manually closed by hand, the ValveSentry device can be easily installed on it for automatic shut off.

The ValveSentry device's water sensor can be placed anywhere in the home to detect a water leak and promptly turn off the water main.

Place additional ValveSentry water sensors near water heaters, washing machines, sinks, toilets, and plumbing. If a leak occurs, the sensor sends a signal to the controller, which shuts off the water at its source. Installation is simple. . . Operation is automatic.

Leaks do not give any warning signs. Hot water heaters, washing machine hoses, toilet and sink valves and hoses - can fail suddenly and leak continuously until the owner comes home and discover a flooded house and $1,000's of damage.

Prevent Frozen Water Pipes From Flooding the Home This Winter

D-Link announced plans at CES to widen its footprint in the DIY connected-home market with an all-new hub, several new sensors, and a Wi-Fi siren. The company, which manufacturers Wi-Fi routers, adapters, IP cameras, and other networking equipment for the home and SMB markets, shipped its first smart-home products in 2014.

The D-Link DCH-G020 enables you to integrated Z-Wave devices with your Wi-Fi router.

I had a relatively low opinion of D-Links Connected Home Platform when I reviewed it last year, because it was too dependent on power-hungry Wi-Fi devices. These new additions to that platform could change my mind.

The Connected Home Hub (model number DHC-G020, $80) is particularly interesting. The cylindrical device connects to your existing home router and acts as a bridge to sensors and other devices that use low-power Z-Wave technology.

It will eventually control Wi-Fi lighting systems that are compatible with the AllSeen Internet of Things initiative, too. The app [for operating the hub] will only recognize the devices that D-Link is announcing, D-Link marketing VP Dan Kelley told me in an interview last month, but the plan is to open up the API to additional devices in 2015 and beyond. D-Link expects to ship the hub in the second quarter of 2015.

D-Link announced three new sensors that will interact with the hub and other products in D-Links Connected Home Platform.The MyDlink Z-Wave Motion Sensor (model DCH-Z120, $50) sends push notifications when motion is detected in a room.

D-Link expects the battery in its DCH-Z120 motion sensor to last 3.5 years.

It's battery operated, which makes it much easier to deploy than D-Links existing motion sensor, which relies on Wi-Fi and therefore must be plugged into an electrical outlet. Unlike most sensors in this class, the DCH-Z120 is also outfitted with ambient temperature and light sensors. Consumers can configure the MyDlink Home app to trigger one of D-Links Wi-Fi Smart Plugs to turn on a light, and/or one of its Wi-Fi security cameras to snap a picture of what set it off.

D-Link's DCH-Z110 Z-Wave Open & Close sensor is innovative in that it can monitor ambient temperature and lighting conditions as well as the status of the door or window it's attached to.

The MyDlink Z-Wave Open & Close sensor (model DCH-Z110, $40) detects when windows and doors are opened and sends push notifications to the users mobile device. Unlike most door/window sensors, the DCH-Z110 can also monitor ambient temperature and lighting conditions, enabling it to send messages and trigger other devices, such as a smart plug. Kelley told me, however, that D-Links system doesnt tie into any thermostats at this point.

Dubai: The dangers may not be apparent, but malfunctioning electrical equipment in the bathroom faulty water heaters, hair dryers, shaving points can cause electrical shocks and even electrocution.

An electric shock can be extremely traumatic as depending on the voltage of the current. The person can be thrown back, receive burns, get maimed or even die of electrocution. We have had cases of mild to severe electric shocks that people have received in bathrooms and kitchens, said Ajay Chaturvedi, the head of Emergency Medical Services at the American Heart Association, Dubai.

Usually the human body has resistance to prevent damage when exposed to low voltages. However, when your palms are sweaty or when you are wet or damp, this resistance is lowered and can pass on the current directly to your body when exposed to it. The most important thing is to use covered circuits that are not overloaded with electric equipment and get all electrical points regularly checked by a qualified electrician, caution experts.

Modern apartments are equipped with auto switch and whenever there is an electric malfunction usually the circuit trips, switching off the current from the mains.

However, in some of the really old apartments needing a complete change in wires and plumbing, sometimes the problem can pose a serious hazard.

A Dubai resident who used to live in a dilapidated building in Karama but has moved since recalled a bad experience.

This was in the early 2000 and all the residents of our building complained of getting a mild shock whenever we touched the tap in the kitchen sink. Apparently there was some malfunctioning in the kitchen water heater, but it was really scary and I would avoid using the kitchen tap. However, it was not easy to altogether avoid using it and I would touch it with the help of a thick cloth napkin. No one in the building maintenance was heeding our complaints and eventually we moved out. I later heard that the pipes and circuits were changed.

Chaturvedi said that a person received electric shock due to use of an appropriate wire where the connection was not properly grounded.

In bathrooms, it is usually the electric razors or water heaters that are the culprits. When you install these you have to make sure you have proper [grounding] wires. Sometimes people use faulty extension chords or even load extension chords with too many connections that can short circuit. This must be completely avoided. You must not use these when in the shower or bath tub. Switch off the current before you get damp or step into the shower.
