Ucapan Tahun Baharu 2016 NC UTM

Assalamualaikum wrth wbkth

Salam Sejahtera

Alhamdulillah pertamanya marilah sama-sama kita menzahirkan setinggi-tinggi kesyukuran ke hadrat Ilahi kerana dengan limpah dan kurnianya kita dapat melangkah ke tahun 2016 ini.

 

Sesungguhnya tahun 2015 yang berlalu telah diwarnai dengan pelbagai kejayaan dan pencapaian yang membanggakan sama ada di peringkat Universiti, staf mahupun mahasiswa. Saya percaya kejayaan ini merupakan natijah kepada curahan keringat, usaha, komitmen penuh ikhlas dan kerjasama erat di kalangan seluruh warga Universiti dalam memastikan Universiti Teknologi Malaysia ini terus mencipta kecemerlangan. Namun demikian, kita tidak boleh berasa selesa dengan kedudukan ini sebaliknya perlu bingkas bangun dan keluar dari kepompong keselesaan bagi mengharungi era yang lebih mencabar pada tahun 2016.

 

Justeru, marilah kita melangkah ke tahun 2016 yang merupakan tahun kedua pelaksanaan Pelan Global UTM fasa II 2012-2020 ini dengan azam dan semangat yang baharu untuk membawa UTM ke satu aras yang lebih tinggi.  Seharusnya lanskap dan persekitaran yang lebih mencabar pada tahun mendatang ini, tidak akan membataskan apatah lagi merencatkan perancangan dan pergerakan kita bahkan sebaliknya ia perlu dijadikan satu titik tolak untuk kita meneroka peluang yang lebih besar dalam mengukuhkan ekosistem akademik dan penyelidikan yang kondusif bagi warga UTM. Pelbagai kejayaan yang telah kita capai pada tahun 2015 seharusnya juga menjadi pemangkin dan memberi kekuatan serta keyakinan tambahan kepada kita untuk melakukan yang lebih baik pada tahun 2016 ini.

 

Marilah kita sentiasa meletakkan bahawa keberadaan kita di dunia ini amnya dan di UTM khasnya sebagai satu amanah untuk kita laksanakan dengan penuh hikmah dengan bercirikan elemen ke’ihsan’nan sejajar dengan falsafah Universiti, menerajui sains dan teknologi ke arah kesejahteraan dan kemakmuran sejagat.

 

Marilah sama-sama kita perkukuhkan ukhuwah, memantapkan ekosistem yang produktif, membudayakan inovasi dan berdoa agar kita dapat menyempurnakan segala amanah yang telah diberikan ini dengan sebaiknya dan seterusnya UTM dikurniakan kejayaan dan pencapaian yang lebih cemerlang demi agama, bangsa dan negara.

 

Selamat Tahun Bahru 2016!

HOW TO REDUCE THE HASSLE OF ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING

An electric car owner’s biggest fear is running out of juice — and not being able to find an available charging station. One of the main reasons that electric vehicles (EVs) haven’t become more popular is that drivers worry they won’t make it to their destination and back.

In a new report, researchers have identified some of the hassles involved in EV charging. People hog the charger parking spots, and drivers often aren’t allowed to unplug another person’s fully-charged car. To bring EVs into the mainstream, the authors say, charging stations need to be designed to encourage turnover, and people should be able to unplug without fear of rousing another driver’s ire or breaking the law.

The report authors visited charging stations at four locations in Vermont, where an unusually high percentage of drivers own EVs. The team also gathered information about the issue from academic studies, trade market articles, and online searches.

A few problems emerged. Some businesses placed EV charging stations in the corner of the parking lot, where only one car could reach the cord. Others gave EVs the best spots in the lot, which encouraged unscrupulous drivers to grab those spots even when they didn’t need a charge.

Etiquette dictates that owners should unplug their cars once they’re charged to free up the cord. But “observation of etiquette is likely to decrease” as EVs become more common, the authors note. And some stores forbid customers from unplugging another customer’s vehicle out of fear of liability. In some states, unplugging another person’s car could cause the owner of that car to face fines or towing.

Common-sense solutions? Put the charging stations between parking spots so they can reach two to four vehicles, the authors suggest. Even better, install an “octopus” charger that charges multiple cars one after the other, in the order that they were plugged in. Don’t give the prime parking spots to EVs, and charge a small hourly fee to discourage drivers from occupying a spot for an unnecessarily long time. (Setting time limits may not be fair, the team says, since some EVs take longer to charge than others.)

Some drivers display courtesy cards on their cars that give others permission to unplug the vehicle at a certain time. But it should be legal and acceptable for another driver to unplug a fully-charged car even if a courtesy card isn’t present, the authors say. Without these changes, EVs may remain a niche product: tolerable for an enthusiast, but too much of a pain for the ordinary consumer. Roberta Kwok | 29 December 2015
