மொபைல்…இன்றைய தேதியில் எல்லோரோடும் இணைந்த உள்ளங்கை குழந்தை. மொபைல் வாங்குவதோடு மட்டும் நம் செலவு முடிந்து விடுவதில்லை. அதற்கான உபரி செலவுகளும், அதன் பராமரிப்பும் மொபைல் உள்ள காலம் வரை நம்மை துரத்தும். மொபைல் மற்றும் பேட்டரி சீக்கிரம் சேதமடையாமல் செலவுகளை தவிர்க்க என்னவெல்லாம் செய்யலாம்?

பின் பாக்கெட்டில் வைப்பதை தவிருங்கள்:

மொபைலை பின் பாக்கெட்டில் வைப்பது நிறைய பேருக்கு வாடிக்கையான ஒன்றாகிவிட்டது. இதனால் மொபைலுக்கு என்ன பிரச்னை என்கிறீர்களா? நீங்கள் மொபைலை பின் பாக்கெட்டில் வைத்து விட்டு மறந்து போய் எங்கேயாவது அமர்ந்தீர்கள் என்றால் மொபைல் வளையலாம் அல்லது வேறு ஏதேனும் பிரச்னை வரலாம். இவ்வாறு வளைவதால் உங்கள் மொபைல் மற்றும் பேட்டரி சீக்கிரம் பாதிப்படையக் கூடும்.



அதே போன்று எடை அதிகமுள்ள பொருட்களுக்கு கீழே, மொபைல் வைப்பதை தவிருங்கள். ஏனெனில், அதிக எடை உள்ள பொருட்கள் தரும் அழுத்தத்தால் பேட்டரி விரிவடைந்து, வெடிப்பதற்கான வாய்ப்புகளையும் ஏற்படுத்தும்.

அதிக வெப்பம் உள்ள இடங்களை தவிருங்கள்:

அதிகம் வெப்பமுள்ள இடங்களில் மொபைலை வைப்பதால், பேட்டரி அதிவிரைவில் சூடாகி பாதிப்பை ஏற்படுத்தும் என்பதை நினைவில் கொள்ளுங்கள். அதிக வெப்பமுள்ள இடங்களைப் போலவே அதிகம் குளிரான அதாவது ஜீரோ டிகிரி ஃபாரன்ஹீட்டுக்கும் குறைவான வெப்பநிலை உள்ள இடங்களும் கூட மொபைலின் பேட்டரியை பாதித்து, செல்போனுக்கும் பாதிப்பாக்கும் என்பதை மறக்காதீர்கள்.

மொபைலை எப்போதுமே வைத்திருக்கிறேன் பேர்வழி என எங்கேயும் எடுத்து செல்லாதீர்கள். குறிப்பாக சமையலைறைக்கு. கவனக்குறைவாக நீங்கள் அடுப்பருகிலேயோ அல்லது ஃப்ரிட்ஜ், கிரைண்டர் போன்றவற்றின் அருகிலோ வைத்து விட்டு சென்றால் ஆபத்து உங்கள் ஃபோனுக்குதான். அதிகம் காற்றோட்டமில்லாத இடங்களிலும், உதாரணத்திற்கு தலையணைக்கு அடியில் போன்ற இடங்களில் வைக்காதீர்கள்.

பேட்டரியை பாதுகாக்க சில வழிகள்:

மொபைலில் மெமரி தான் இருக்கிறதே என்று தேவையில்லாத ஆப்ஸ்களை வைத்திருக்காதீர்கள். அது உங்கள் மொபைல் பேட்டரியை சூடாக்குவதுடன் சார்ஜையும் குறைக்கும். அதனால் தேவையான ஆப்ஸ்களை மட்டும் வைத்துக் கொண்டு தேவையில்லாததை அன் இன்ஸ்டால் செய்து விடுங்கள்.

மொபைல் சூடேறுவது தெரிந்தால் அதை உடனே சுவிட்ச் ஆஃப் செய்து விடுங்கள்.

உங்கள் மொபைலுக்கு என்று உள்ள சார்ஜரை மட்டுமே பயன்படுத்துங்கள். அதுவே பேட்டரியின் வாழ்வை நீட்டிக்க சிறந்த வழி. இன்னொரு முக்கியமான ஒன்று, மொபைல் சார்ஜ் ஏற்றும் போது அதில் பேசுவது, மெசேஜ் செய்வது போன்ற காரியங்களை தவிருங்கள். அது உங்களுக்கே ஆபத்தாக முடியலாம்.

அதே போன்று பேட்டரி மாற்ற வேண்டிய அவசியம் வரும் பொழுது, ஒரிஜனலயே தேர்ந்தெடுங்கள். சீப்பான விலைக்கு கிடைக்கிறது என்று லைஃப் இல்லாத பேட்டரியை தேர்ந்தெடுக்காதீர்கள். ஏனெனில் ஒரிஜினல் பேட்டரி பல விதமான பரிசோதனைகளுக்கு உட்படுத்தப்பட்ட பின்னர் உத்திரவாதத்துடன் நம் கைக்கு கிடைக்கும். ஆனால் விலை மலிவான பேட்டரியில் அதை எதிர்பார்க்க முடியாது.

உங்கள் மொபைல் நீரில் விழுந்துவிட்டால் உடனே சர்வீஸ் சென்டரில் கொடுத்து செக் செய்யுங்கள். பொதுவாகவே நீரானது எலக்ட்ரானிக் ஐட்டங்களை சேதப்படுத்தக் கூடியது. எனவே கவனமாக இருங்கள்.

VIT students to get global exposure STAFF REPORTER

VIT students to get global exposure

• STAFF REPORTER

To give students a global exposure, VIT University has launched international transfer programmes in partnership with nine universities in the US, Australia and UK.

After studying for two years at VIT, students can choose from any one of the nine partner universities – four each in US and Australia and one in UK – for the next two years of the engineering programme, VIT Chancellor G. Viswanathan said, during the inauguration of the programme on Tuesday.

“The number of universities under this programme will be increased. We want our students to get global exposure,” he added. On the advantage of such a programme, he said that India was a growing country, and by 2030, it would be supplying the maximum workforce to the world.

Talking about the education system in the US, he said, “US took over Europe due to the autonomy and freedom given to institutions, competition between private and public institutions and funding. There are 4,000 universities in the US, but no University Grants Commission or Ministry of Education.”

This flexibility, he observed, was not available in any other country.

Elaborating on the international transfer programme, VIT’s pro-vice chancellor V. Raju said the students of engineering programmes will have the option of studying the last two years in any of the partner institutes that included State University of New York, Purdue University in the US, Queen Mary University, UK, and Deakin University and RMIT, Melbourne in Australia.

“We will develop programmes at the bachelors, masters and doctorate levels for this programme. There will be faculty collaboration and faculty exchange,” he mentioned.

Sean Kelly, Australia’s Consul General, Chennai, said Australia offered plenty of opportunities in higher education. “Nearly 25 per cent of the post graduate students in Australia are international students. There are around 60,000 Indian students,” he said.

Australia next to US

He added that Australia was the second popular destination for Indian students, and the country overtook US recently. Among the reasons for attracting many international students is the quality of universities, he said.

“Australia is one of the most liveable countries in the world. Our cities are modern and very safe. We have a multi-cultural population. We also offer the best work rights. Students, while studying, can work for 40 hours for a two-week period. They can earn money to help with the cost of living,” he noted.

In addition, students, on completing UG, can stay on for two years for work, while it was three years after masters and four years after Ph.D, he added.











Raju Balakrishnan from the College of Business, University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA, said the university had established a partnership with VIT three years ago. “We started off with business programmes. In three batches, 65 students from VIT have come to the University of Michigan. Now, we are expanding it to engineering programmes,” he said.

Central university to offer six new programmes L. RENGANATHAN

Central university to offer six new programmes

• L. RENGANATHAN

The Central University of Tamil Nadu, Tiruvarur, plans to offer six new programmes during the next academic year. It is hosting five M.Sc. integrated courses, 10 PG programmes and seven doctoral research programmes besides two short-term programmes under the aegis of its Community College.

For the academic year 2016-2017, it is proposing four PG programmes besides two three-year programmes - B.Sc. Textiles and Bachelor of Performing Arts programme in music, with the latter reviving memories of Tiruvarur as the birth place of the celebrated Carnatic Music Trinity Sri Tyagaraja, Sri Muthuswamy Dikshitar and Sri Shyama Sastri.

Under a memorandum of understanding to be signed soon, the three-year graduate studies programme in textiles with an intake of 40 students will be conducted in the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International School of Textiles and Management, Coimbatore.

Among the new PG programmes on offer, M.A. (Economics), M.A. (Hindi) and M.Sc. (Computer Science), will have an intake of 20 students each while the new M. Tech. (Material Science) will admit 24 students.

For drawing on a wider faculty base and curriculum design, the university has collaborative arrangements with the Madras School of Economics, the Central Institute of Classical Tamil, Chennai, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, and the Tamil Nadu Agriculture University, Coimbatore.

With inter-disciplinary approach as the main plank of curriculum building, it fully uses its unitary status and the choice-based credit system for introducing many inter-disciplinary and extra-disciplinary elective programmes.

All the Schools and the Community College have a total of 1,005 students on their rolls as of now and the University is planning to increase that to at least 2,000 over the next three years.

The university is about to enter the eighth year of admission with the Central Universities of Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Rajasthan jointly conducting the Common Entrance Test for admission to their academic programmes on May 21 and 22.








Candidates, including those who are appearing for the final or qualifying examinations, can apply on line (website: cucet16.co.in). The Common Entrance Test enables candidates to apply for three programmes and sit for the test in any of the designated examination centres of their choice and take admission in any of the three universities they choose. Admissions on merit and with statutory reservation benefits to those who are eligible will commence after the publication of results on June 17.

“Corrupt officials can’t lay claim to promotion on technicalities”

• SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
• THE HINDU

Government officials accused of corruption cannot lay claim to promotion on the technical ground that no charge memo had been issued to them on the day of drawing of a list of officers eligible for promotion, the Madras High Court Bench here has held.

Justices S. Manikumar and C.T. Selvam passed the ruling while allowing a writ appeal filed by the State government against a single judge’s order to promote as Deputy Inspector General of Registration an officer accused of collecting ‘ mamool ’ (bribe money) from his subordinates.

“We are unable to accept the reasoning of the single judge… Once there is a serious allegation, certainly there is a cloud on the integrity of the officer. Morale and discipline of the department would be jeopardised if such persons are also included in the panel and promoted to higher posts,” the Division Bench said.

According to Special Government Pleader (SGP) A.K. Baskarapandian, the officer, K. Balasubramanian, was in possession of unaccounted money of Rs. 25,000 when sleuths from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) conducted a surprise check in his office on October 21, 2008.

The sleuths also seized ‘ mamool ’ money that had been brought by many Sub-Registrars to be given to the officer.

G.O. issued

Subsequently, a Government Order was issued on September 25, 2009 directing the Commissioner for Disciplinary Proceedings to enquire into the matter and a charge memo was issued in October 2010.

In the meantime, the officer filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking promotion and a single judge allowed the petition on April 9, 2011 on the ground of delay in issuing the charge memo and hence the Registration Department had chosen to file the present writ appeal.

The SGP also said that it was imperative to set aside the single judge’s order to promote the officer who was ultimately found guilty by the Commissioner for Disciplinary Proceedings and consequently removed from service by the State government.

Madras varsity teachers seek right to guide PhD students

Institution’s PhD brochure calls for two years’ experience for a PhD-holder to be given guide-ship

Around 100 assistant professors appointed in various departments of the University of Madras are awaiting permission to guide PhD scholars. These teachers have been appointed against permanent vacancies and were put on ‘probation’ for two years.

The appointments were made by the then Vice-Chancellor (VC) R. Thandavan and in the absence of a Vice-Chancellor at the university now, their wait could only get longer.

S. Elumalai, Head of the Department of Biotechnology, who was denied guide-ship, brought up his case at the Senate meeting recently, saying that though he had the requisite qualifications to be a research guide, his plea for being granted guide-ship was pending for two years.

He said he had guided students during his tenure as a college teacher which was counted as experience when the university appointed him.

Backing the demand, Syndicate member G. Ravindran said, “Guiding is the mainstay of research. A professor must guide, take up research activity and publish the findings.” If they cannot do research, how their performance can be assessed, he asked.

Senior professors said the university’s PhD brochure called for two years’ experience for a PhD-holder to be given guide-ship. “Anyone who has been appointed in the university is considered to be on probation for a certain period and there is nothing binding on either party during this period,” explained a retired professor, whose department appointed four assistant professors who do not have permission to guide research scholars.

Sources said when the new appointees had taken up the issue with Mr. Thandavan, he allowed them to guide MPhil students as the brochure was silent on guiding them.

In the meeting, the members sought a resolution to abolish the post of Dean Research, claiming that the official had failed to do his duty.








Confirming this, Registrar David Jawahar said the professors were frustrated with the delay and had moved such a resolution. “ The decision to abolish the statutory post would require a larger discussion,” he said.

Exam paper leakage: deal clinched at Vidhana Soudha

• IMRAN GOWHAR

THE HINDU 

The office of the Minister of State for Medical Education at the Vidhana Soudha was used to clinch the deal to secure the leaked chemistry question paper by the Minister’s Officer on Special Duty (OSD), investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has revealed.

The prime accused, Manjunath, during investigation, confessed that he had met the Minister’s OSD, Obalaraju, at the Minister’s office to finalise the deal after he was contacted, sources said.

Sources added that Obalaraju used the office landline phone on March 20 to contact Manjunath, and discuss with him how he would receive the question paper.

Some of the beneficiaries, including a small-screen actor who has been questioned, could be made approvers in the case. Shivakumar, a retired lecturer, who runs a chain of tutorials, is now emerging to be the key person who can lead the investigators to the source of the leak, sources said, adding that the call detail records of Manjunath had led them to Shivakumar, a key accused in the 2012 leak.

Sources said the arrest of Shivakumar could lead them to the officers in the Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE), who may be connected to the leakage. Sources also said that Shivakumar had maintained a cordial relationship with a police officer whose name came up during the lottery scam recently.

The CID officials have also taken in 14 persons, including a few DPUE officials, who were among the 40 suspended after the leakage of the re-exam, for further questioning.

Meanwhile, the three arrested — Obalaraju, Manjunath, and PWD official Rudrappa — were produced before the 7th Additional Metropolitan Magistrate by the CID. The court has extended police custody till April 13.

Rs 50 lakh for MBBS at Safdarjang medical college

Vishnu Sukumaran New Delhi, Apr 03, 2016, DHNS

The Delhi Police are probing into a complaint of Rs 50 lakh asked for an MBBS seat at Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, attached with south Delhi’s Safdarjang Hospital. The seat was promised under Nominee of Government of India (NGOI) quota.

Manoj Aggarwal, a homeopathic doctor from west Delhi’s Naraina, paid the amount for his son’s admission. He and his son were told to come at Safdarjang Hospital, where they were made to fill an application form.

They were also introduced to a doctor, Dwarka-resident Virender Kumar. It was claimed that the admission would be provided through Kumar, an officer with the Medical Council of India (MCI).

Aggarwal, who practises at the DDA Shopping Complex in Naraina, also made a payment at the parking lot of the hospital. But no seat was provided to his son till date.

In his statement, the victim told the police that he was duped after receiving a bulk text message sent on his mobile phone from ‘DZ-JSSEDU’.

A man named Anil Kumar Rathore was offering direct admission in MBBS. He claimed to be from Laxmi Nagar-based JSS International Education Services, police said.

Rathore claimed that the firm had vast experience in medical admission and providing consultation to thousands of medical aspirants. He also said that he provided admission in reserved quota.

“Out of my curiosity, I called on his mobile number and asked from where he got my mobile number. He replied that he can get my son’s admission in MBBS,” Aggarwal stated in his complaint.

In the beginning, Aggarwal was not satisfied with Rathore’s reply. But Rathore kept on telling him different stories for his satisfaction. “My son completed his class XII last year and was keen to get admission in MBBS. I asked him if he can get my son’s admission in a government medical college,” the complainant added.

Rathore assured that he would get it done in Vardhman Mahavir Medical College under NGOI quota.

A case under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 420 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code has been filed with crime branch police station. A team is looking into the case, but no arrests have been made so far.
