UDOM students have come up with a system to solve electricity problems in rented houses

Electricity is very useful for daily life activities,it is used in home for lighting, ironing, operating home appliances and many more. Apart from home uses electricity is used in industries, hospitals and mining areas.

Due to economic status in Tanzania many people live in rented houses especially in urban areas. In Tanzania big cities like Dar es salaam there are many quarrels in rented houses most of them being related to electricity.

In rented houses people who live in a single building they do most of things in collaborative manner but when it comes to electricity bill things become tough,since every body must contribute an equal amount of money for paying LUKU electricity.

People contribute equal amount of money but they do not have similar uses of electricity,some people have more home electrical appliances than others so they automatically consume more electrical power than others.

In these case there is no fair use of electricity in rented houses which lead to quarrel when electric LUKU units fished before the end of a month where every personal has to contribute again for electricity.

To solve this problem and other related problems university students from the University of Dododoma (UDOM) have made a system which will ensure equal and fair use of electricity where by user will use electricity in proportional to amount of money contributed.

The system is called “Rented House Power Distribution Controlling System (RHPDCS)

”.

Among other functions the system has ability to monitor power usage in house automatically.

Full details about this system may be found at the University of Dodoma(UDOM),from the students how did they system and some documentations are available from our fellow at his blog. Click the link below to read full documentation.

How to download and install iOS 10

IOS 10 is now available for download and you're going to want it, specifically for all the awesome new messaging features.

The easiest way to update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to iOS 10 is to go to Settings > General > Software Update and download it over-the-air (OTA).

If you use this way, you will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network as the update is too large to download over a cellular connection (even if you do have enough data).

Alternatively, you can also connect your supported iOS device to your PC or Mac and update through iTunes. iOS 10 is compatible with the following devices:

• iPhone: iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus

As always, we recommend backing up your data with iCloud or to a computer via iTunes beforehand, to prevent any accidental data loss during the update process.

Using Google Photos is also a great way to keep a backup of all your photos and videos.

It's best to make sure you have enough storage space to download the update; the update file size varies for depending on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and ranges from 1.1GB to 2.64GB. If you're low on storage, now's a good time to look through all of your apps and delete the ones you don't use or use very infrequently; start with games and videos as these usually take up the most space.

The download process may take up a long time depending on the Internet connection speed in your area.
