Sampah Dipakai buat Nyalain Lampu…. Hoax or Not ?

Sobat tercinta, kalau bicara mengenai sampah yang tebersit di kepala kalian apa? Semua orang pasti sepikiran. Sampah itu bau lah, kotor lah, mencemari lingkungan lah. Intinya, pasti tidak jauh dari kata-kata di atas.

Eitsss, tapi jangan salah, sobat!

Jaman sekarang sudah serba canggih. ‘Nothing is Impossible’ kalau kata orang-orang. Termasuk untuk yang satu ini.

Pembangkit Listrik Bertenaga Sampah.

Pernah dengar? Kalau sudah maka selamat, kamu tergolong salah satu orang yang peduli pada perkembangan lingkungan negeri kita tercinta! :D Dan bagi yang belum, rest assured. Jangan khawatir. Berikut saya kasih sedikit cuplikannya. CEKIDOT!!

Sang pencetus ide brilliant ini tidak lain adalah Pak Bambang Sudarmanta. Dosen Teknik Mesin Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) ini menghabiskan waktunya sehari-hari dalam rumah kompos kampus ITS Surabaya demi mewujudkan ide yang tergolong hampir mustahil ini.

Ide ini tentu saja tidak langsung begitu saja terpikir oleh Beliau. Banyaknya sampah menumpuk di sekitar kampus membuat Beliau memutuskan membuat pembangkit listrik bertenaga sampah. Semua hanya agar lingkungan kampus ITS tetap bersih, bebas dari sampah. (Benar-benar pecinta lingkungan sejati Beliau ini. :’D)

Menurut penjelasan Beliau sendiri, proses pengolahan sampah menjadi energi yang bisa digunakan untuk menyalakan lampu ini, dilakukan dengan tiga cara, yakni pembakaran, gasifikasi, dan fermentasi.

Bagi yang punya pengalaman dengan bidang ini pasti sudah punya bayangan tentang prosesnya dari informasi di atas, kan? Dan tak bisa dipungkiri, sobat sekalian pasti banyak yang penasaran tentang cara kerja pembangkit unik ini kan?

Nah, ini dia solusinya!

Pembangkit listrik tenaga air, tenaga surya, tenaga angin mah sudah biasa. Pembangkit listrik tenaga sampah? Itu baru luar biasa! Ibaratnya sekali dayung, dua tiga pulau terlampaui. Selain menambah sumber tenaga listrik yang baru, pembangkit ini juga memecahkan masalah kondisi lingkungan yang kian hari makin tercemar dengan kehadiran sampah.

Tunggu apa lagi sobat??!! Join sekarang! Dijamin sobat sekalian tidak akan menyesal! >;D

Multitasking is Killing Your Brain - medium.com

Many people believe themselves to be multitasking masters, but could it all be in their heads?

Our brains weren’t built to multitask.

Our brains are designed to focus on one thing at a time, and bombarding them with information only slows them down.

MIT neuroscientist Earl Miller notes that our brains are “not wired to multitask well… when people think they’re multitasking, they’re actually just switching from one task to another very rapidly. And every time they do, there’s a cognitive cost.”

This constant task-switching encourages bad brain habits. When we complete a tiny task (sending an email, answering a text message, posting a tweet), we are hit with a dollop of dopamine, our reward hormone. Our brains love that dopamine, and so we’re encouraged to keep switching between small mini-tasks that give us instant gratification.

This creates a dangerous feedback loop that makes us feel like we’re accomplishing a ton, when we’re really not doing much at all (or at least nothing requiring much critical thinking). In fact, some even refer to email/Twitter/Facebook-checking as a neural addiction.

Multitasking lowers your work quality and efficiency.

Multitasking makes it more difficult to organize thoughts and filter out irrelevant information, and it reduces the efficiency and quality of our work.

A study at the University Of London showed that subjects who multitasked while performing cognitive tasks experienced significant IQ drops. In fact, the IQ drops were similar to what you see in individuals who skip a night of sleep or who smoke marijuana. Now that’s a terrifying thought.

Multitasking has also been found to increase production of cortisol, the stress hormone. Having our brain constantly shift gears pumps up stress and tires us out, leaving us feeling mentally exhausted (even when the work day has barely begun).

The biggest instigator of multitasking mayhem? Our inboxes. Some studies have shown that even the opportunity to multitask, such as knowledge of an unread email in your inbox, can reduce your effective IQ by 10 points! The constant thrill of a new bolded email in our inbox keeps us ever-distracted. A McKinsey Global Institute Study found that employees spend 28 percent of their workweek checking emails.

Email is problematic, but texting is even worse, demanding even more immediacy than email, having us check it more adamantly as a result.

Protect yourself from the multitasking mental massacre by establishing an e-mail checking schedule. Commit yourself to checking emails only three times a day, (maybe when you get into work in the morning, at lunch time, and before leaving work at the end of the day). Turn off texting notifications and choose specific times to check your phone as well.

Multitasking men have it the worst.

For men, multitasking can drop IQ as much as 15 points, essentially turning you into the cognitive equivalent of an 8-year-old. Don’t be surprised when you find yourself stocking up on pop rocks.

The damage could be permanent.

New research suggests the possibility that cognitive damage associated with multi-tasking could be permanent.

A study from the University of Sussex (UK) ran MRI scans on the brains of individuals who spent time on multiple devices at once (texting while watching TV, for example). The MRI scans showed that subjects who multitasked more often had less brain density in the anterior cingulate cortex. That’s the area responsible for empathy and emotional control.

The one caveat is that research isn’t detailed enough to determine if multitasking is responsible for these effects, or if existing brain damage results in multitasking habits. Still, no matter how you spin it, multitasking is no good.

The lesson? Multitasking is not a skill to add to the resume, but rather a bad habit to put a stop to. Turn off notifications, create set email checking time slots throughout the day (rather than constant inbox refreshing), and put your mind to the task at hand.
