Dead by Sunrise

Posted by Yasa 05.18, under | 0 komentar



'''Dead by Sunrise''' is the side project of Linkin Park's vocalist, Chester Bennington. The band also features Amir Derakh, Ryan Shuck, Brandon Belsky and Elias Andra from Julien-K and Anthony "Fu" Valcic. Dead by Sunrise's debut album, ''Out of Ashes'', was released worldwide on October 13, 2009.

History
Dead by Sunrise started to form in 2005 while Chester Bennington was writing songs for Linkin Park's album ''Minutes to Midnight''. According to Bennington, "I came up with a few songs that felt and sounded really good, but I knew they weren't right stylistically for Linkin Park. They were darker and moodier than anything I'd come up with for the band. So I decided to work on them on my own rather than turn them over and have them transformed into Linkin Park tracks." However, the foundation for Dead by Sunrise was laid much earlier, when future bandmate Shuck met Bennington during the recording of Linkin Park's first album ''Hybrid Theory''. In an interview, Shuck states that "I always used to go to his house and hear him play acoustic guitar. And I always thought to myself, 'Oh my God, these are such good songs.'

The band's name, which was previously "Snow White Tan," reflects the time during the album's recording. In an interview, Bennington stated that:

On May 10, 2008, Dead by Sunrise performed three songs ("Walking In Circles", "Morning After", and "My Suffering") at the 13th anniversary party for Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona. The song titled "Morning After" was written by Chester Bennington and originally performed on December 9, 2001 at the Live in Berlin concert . This was the first time that Chester had "officially" performed the song under a new name-Dead by Sunrise. In addition, this band has recently started touring with Linkin Park in Europe and Japan. In an interview with MTV, Bennington stated that "we're actually going to be jumping in the middle of Linkin Park's set, playing a few songs, then jumping out and letting LP finish out the set."

Recording of the band's debut album began in July 2008 after touring for Linkin Park had finished. Working simultaneously on his solo album and Linkin Park's next record, Bennington recorded ''Out of Ashes'' with producer Howard Benson (who has also worked with My Chemical Romance, Daughtry, and simultaneously Full Circle by Creed) and bandmates from Julien-K. Also of note, Bennington participated in all aspects of creating the record, including programming and production.

Videos have been filmed for "Crawl Back In" and "Let Down" with the former serving as the album's first single. "Crawl Back In" has reached the 11th spot on the Mainstream Rock chart. On August 16, "Crawl Back In" debuted on Dead By Sunrise's MySpace; the song can currently be found on iTunes in the US. On September 1 the song "Fire" was uploaded to Dead By Sunrise's MySpace. Also that song is offered if the album is pre-ordered. On September 8 2009, the video for "Crawl Back In" was released. On October 8, 2009 (just 4 days before the official release of the album) Dead By Sunrise released Out of Ashes on their myspace page.

    How do you thrive in the shadow, substantial and arena-sized, of a group that has sold over 35 million albums? If you're Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, the answer is: shine your own light. Shinoda is half the vocal firepower of the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning band Linkin Park, trading diaphragmatic diatribes with singer Chester Bennington and infusing the searing alternative rock with equally intense hip-hop. From album to album, Shinoda and his bandmates have garnered a reputation based on their appetite for striking new ground. On his first outing alone, Shinoda is ready to show people that he is still hungry.

    Shinoda's rap roots have always had to share space with other elements-until now. Fort Minor is a wholly unique, unadulterated hip hop album, owing as much to Shinoda's polished lyricism as his musical adeptness. The variety of themes, styles, and moods he creates make this "side project" likely to do much more than simply satisfy existing LP fans; it threatens to expose Shinoda as a rap devotee who is as at home in hip-hop as he is in the cross-genre hybrid of Linkin Park.

    The Rising Tied, the much-anticipated debut of Shinoda's Fort Minor, will be released by Machine Shop Recordings/Warner Bros., November 22, 2005. Executive Produced by Jay-Z (who collaborated with Linkin Park on 2004's Collision Course), The Rising Tied is produced and mixed by Shinoda, who wrote every track, played nearly every instrument and "slaved over every detail."

    While Shinoda chose the name Fort Minor to reflect the dynamic between opposites - something big and strong vs. something small and slight (or musically dark) - the name of the album is also a play on words. All of the guest artists on The Rising Tied, says Shinoda, are coming up together in the music world. Among them are Machine Shop acts Styles of Beyond and Holly Brook, as well as Common, John Legend, Kenna and Black Thought (of The Roots), among others.

    While remaining an essential shard in the mosaic of Linkin Park, the desire to create songs that resonated with his youth as a hip-hop producer and MC led Shinoda to write, then record, a progression of hip-hop-rooted songs. As they began to coalesce into an album bearing Shinoda's solo imprimatur, he also felt it was essential to keep it "organic," making his own samples and breakbeats with live instruments, and avoiding sequenced keyboards. The Rising Tied, channeling some of the signature dynamics and frustration of Linkin Park, reveals a more personal range of themes slagged inside a distinctly hip-hop crucible.

    Not to say that it's an entirely homogenized collection. On the track "Believe Me," excerpts from a decaying relationship tremble over a seismic breakbeat, infused with Latin percussion and a cello-bass line that reflects Shinoda's love of classic rock. "High Road," bouncing to Billy Joel-like piano progressions, adopts a humorous tone even as it gives the finger to someone who once told him to "stick to keyboards, don't rap."

    More funny business comes into play in "Remember the Name," with Shinoda transforming a traditional rapper's brag into a subtler call for respect, all done in the third-person. What's the formula for success? Shinoda answers, in a walking tempo, "This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name."

    Another song that shifts traditional perspectives is "Where'd You Go?," a lament for those on the road as felt through the experience of those left behind. Shinoda warns, "'Where'd You Go' makes my wife cry every time she hears it."

    On "Right Now," inspired by Robert Altman's iconoclastic film Short Cuts, Shinoda, Black Thought, and S.O.B. offer a hodgepodge of scenes, invoked to the rhythm of a chopped-up piano loop, which stitch together disparate lives during any given moment. Home-town pride inspires Shinoda's unexpected and highly personalized picture of Los Angeles in the candid "Back Home," while sarcasm drives the irresponsible zeitgeist of "Petrified," a precarious anthem built on swagger, fear, and the heaviest beat since Ice Cube's "Wicked." Clearly, the most unique song of this album - or any album, for that matter - is a rap-flavored recollection of the U.S. internment of Japanese citizens during World War II. "Kenji," featuring the voices of Shinoda's aunt and father who were interned in the U.S. during the 1940s, paints a bleak picture of those who lost everything after being thrown into what were known then, euphemistically, as "relocation camps." Shinoda explains, "I went to the Japanese-American National Museum in L.A. last year, and it reminded me of all the stories my family had told me, how they were put into internment camps here in the U.S., not because they had done anything wrong, but simply because they fit a profile. I had to write a song about it." With Fort Minor and The Rising Tied, Shinoda appreciated the chance to tackle a new theme outside the normal subject matter of Linkin Park.

    Tackling big goals seems to be Shinoda's modus operandi. Notwithstanding an expectation to pursue a career in the visual arts, Mike decided instead to become a musician while working toward his B.A. in Illustration from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Having already taken ten years of piano lessons, he first began to work as a hip-hop MC and producer. In the mid-1990s Shinoda joined with guitarist Brad Delson, turntablist Joseph Hahn, drummer Rob Bourdon, bassist Phoenix and vocalist Chester Bennington to form Linkin Park. The band's debut, Hybrid Theory, became the worldwide #1-selling album of 2001, earning a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance ("Crawling") and various other awards. Its subsequent albums - Reanimation, Meteora and Live in Texas - have continued to widen the band's fan base and critical acclaim; all together the catalogue has sold upwards of 35 million albums. On July 2 in Philadelphia, Linkin Park performed as part of the African aid/debt relief effort Live 8, to a live audience estimated at nearly one million people.

    Mike Shinoda's personal philanthropic efforts are growing as well. In the past five years, he has started a scholarship at his alma mater and been involved in groups such as United Way, AIDS Project L.A., Densho, the Japanese American National Museum, Arthritis Foundation and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Last year, Linkin Park launched Music For Relief, an organization to aid the rebuilding of Southeast Asia; the band played a sold-out show in Los Angeles to support the cause, raising over $2 million for relief efforts.

    • Mesin Waktu

    Posted by Yasa 20.38, under | 0 komentar

    Pernah dengar “traversable wormholes” atau “lorong waktu” ? Atau pernah lihat film-film fiksi ilmiah yang menggambarkan tokoh-tokohnya yang bisa melompat ke masa lalu atau bahkan ke masa depan ? Nah, secara teori, hal itu bisa menjadi kenyataan, setidaknya berlandaskan pada teori relativitasnya Einstein. Praktisnya, mungkin tidak lama lagi kita akan melihat mesin akselerator partikel paling powerful di dunia - melepaskan energi besar, mampu mendistorsi tidak hanya ruang (seperti halnya distorsi gravitasi di tempat-tempat di bumi), tapi juga WAKTU !.


    Inliah mesin “Large Hadron Collider (LHC)” milik CERN yang saat ini dianggap sebagai mesin waktu paling pertama dibuat dalam sejarah umat manusia.

    Menurut penelitian yg dipublikasikan oleh Irina Arefieva dan Igor Volovich,”Dalam relativitas umum, waktu digambarkan dalam kurva ruang-waktu berawal dari masa lalu ke masa depan. Tetapi adakalanya kurva tersebut akan berpotongan, seperti kurva tertutup, yang diinterpretasikan sebagai sebuah mesin waktu - sekaligus memunculkan kemungkinan perjalanan waktu (time travel).

    Dua proton ditembakkan dalam arah yang berlawanan dan bertubrukan di 4 titik sepanjang lintasannya - meniru kondisi “Big Bang” dari “plasma kosmik”. Plasma kosmik adalah keadaan hampir cair yg masih merupakan misteri, yang terbentuk sebelum partikel-partikel itu dingin agar terbentuk atom bersama-sama. LHC akan memaksa partikel-partikel ini lepas dari ikatannya, menjadi substansi dari zat yang terurai - untuk menciptakan “plasma kosmik” yang asli, dan merekonstruksi kondisi Big Bang (mudah-mudahan saja untuk skala kecil).

    Inilah beberapa fakta mengenai project ini:
    - Akan memakan waktu 20 tahun dan sampai sekarang masih berjalan
    - Satu tim yang terdiri dari 7000 fisikawan yang berasal dari lebih 80 negara
    - Dengan lintasan lingkaran 27 kilometer, 175 meter di bawah tanah
    - Memfasilitasi proses tubrukan antar proton, dengan kecepatan mendekati kecepatan cahaya.
    - Terowongannya cukup besar untuk dilewati kereta api
    - Menciptakan keadaan temperatur hingga 1 juta kali lebih panas dari inti matahri
    - Magnet-magnet superkonduktor yang didinginkan pada temperatur lebih dingin dari luar angkasa

    The Collider Tunnel (terowongan untuk proses tubrukan proton) :



    Mesin Paling Njlimet dan Kompleks yang Pernah Dibuat Manusia

    Untuk menggambarkan betapa besarnya skala dari monster ini, bayangkan mesin ini sepanjang 17 mil menyeberangi tapal batas dua negara, mempunyai detektor di 4 lokasi sebesar bangunan manusia, ditempatkan di lubang (goa) yang sangat besar - dan jika Anda berada di dalamnya saat mesin ini dioperasikan, Anda akan mengalami pengaruh radioaktif yang berat dan pengalaman yang fatal.

    Untuk satu solenoid (CMS) dibutuhkan besi yang jumlahnya lebih banyak dari besi untuk membangun menara Eiffel. Biaya untuk membangun LHC ini demikian besar, sehingga Amerika tahun 1993 menghentikan proyeknya sendiri yaitu Superconducting Super Collider (meski terowongan sepanjang 14 mil telah mereka gali di Texas). Jadi, paling tidak saat ini proyek CERN sendirian menyandang gelar “mesin paling njlimet yang pernah dibuat oleh manusia”.


    Klik gambar di bawah ini untuk melihat view 360 derajat:



    CMS detector, sebelum ditanam 100 meter di bawah tanah:

    Potongan melintang dari detektor ATLAS, seukuran sebuah katedral! :

    Lihat orang di gambar bawah ini, untuk skala bagaimana besarnya mesin ini:


    Bundel Kabel Raksasa:

    Tim LHC ini kerap disebut sebagai “Lord of The Ring”, suasana proyeknya sendiri mirip-mirip susasana di film “Star Wars”.

    Idenya adalah untuk mengfokuskan energi besar ini ke dalam ruang sekecil mungkin. Seperti kata mereka: “Makin besar energinya, makin dahsyat pula partikel-partikel yang disemburkan”. Seberapa besar? Apa ini miniatur dari blackhole?

    Jika bukan perjalanan waktu (time travel), hal yang menarik lain yang mungkin dihasilkan dari proyek LHC ini adalah: Hari Kiamat!

    Mungkin headline posting ini sangat berlebihan. Proyek LHC ini diperkirakan justru akan sangat berbahaya untuk dilanjutkan, lihat laporan ini. Bayangkan saja, ada sekelompok orang yang sedang membangun miniatur blackhole tidak jauh dari tempat tinggal kita. Siapa yang bisa percaya bahwa dijamin tidak akan terjadi sesuatu nantinya.

    Latar belakang dari dibangunnya LHC ini mungkin saja adalah cuma untuk mencari “partikel Tuhan” (Higgs Boson?) dan juga teori “Grand Unified Theory” dari seluruh kekuatan energi di jagat raya.

    Seluruh catatan yang menyebutkan LHC mungkin saja akan menghasilkan “Medium-sized Bang” atau mini blackhole yang tidak bisa dikendalikan, dibantah oleh ilmuwan-ilmuwan CERN: mereka meyakinkan kita bahwa “meski blackholes bisa diciptakan, hal ini masih terlalu kecil dan terlalu cepat jika dikatakan akan menghasilkan tenaga gravitasi yang kuat”.

    Majalah Discover mengutip ini: “Proses collision (tubrukan proton) di LHC dapat menyemburkan massa baru yang aneh, dimensi ruang tersembunyi yang membentang, bahkan menciptakan dimulainya lagi kelahiran kecil jagat raya. Dan sekarang, seperti yang kita lihat - mungkin sekaligus mesin lorong waktu.”

    “Kita bahkan tidak tahu apa yag akan terjadi” ujar fisikawan Perancis, Yves Schutz. “Kita sekarang berada dalam domain energi yg tak seorangpun pernah menyentuhnya.”

    Linkin Park

    Posted by Yasa 20.04, under | 0 komentar


    They're at it again! Chester, Mike and the rest of Linkin Park released another phenomenal album titled Meteora. Sophomore albums are famously tricky affairs. Musicians have their entire lives to pen their debut album, the theory goes, and a relatively short time to follow it up. But what if the debut in question is the biggest selling album in recent memory? And what if the music industry has Hollywood-like expectations for another instant blockbuster? That was the scenario Linkin Park faced when they entered the studio to record Meteora, the follow-up to their multi-platinum debut Hybrid Theory.

    To those outside the band, the pressure to follow up that success might have seemed insurmountable. But within Linkin Park, vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, guitarist Brad Delson, turntablist Joseph Hahn, drummer Rob Bourdon, and bassist Phoenix weren't sweating it in ways you might expect. Instead of dwelling on outside expectations, they set to work, meticulously crafting each moment of each song to their own exacting standards. The bigger picture developed accordingly.

    "We don't ever want to have the mindset where we need to sell 10 million albums each time out. That's ridiculous," says Bennington. "It's a blessing to sell that many albums; it doesn't happen very often in this business--even once in your career is an achievement. Our obligation is to our fans. We're not going to get too comfortable and say it's a given that people will run out and buy our albums." "And if you know us, you know the biggest pressure came from within the band," says Shinoda.

    "We just wanted to make another great album that we're proud of," says Bourdon. "We focused on that, and worked hard to create songs we love. We're our own harshest critics." If you doubt that, consider this: Shinoda and Bennington wrote 40 unique choruses for Meteora's poignant first single, "Somewhere I Belong," before arriving at the best possible version.

    The entire band, in fact, sounds more fully realized on Meteora. It's a rare achievement: A full integration of six members that still retains the unique qualities of each individual. The end result is the thumbprint style known as Linkin Park. "We don't really analyze the chemistry," says Bourdon. "We're just lucky and grateful that we found each other and that we work so well together."

    "The collaborations are more seamless now," agrees Bennington. "Mike, for instance, knows more about me as a person, and I know more about him, so it's easier to write lyrics together. It's not possible to have secrecy in our relationship. You have to open up, because you want the other person to be on the same page. We're all that way with each other."

    Lyrics:




    Secondhand Serenade

    Posted by Yasa 19.05, under | 0 komentar



    Over the last few years, the music industry has evolved in a way which allows the common man with extraordinary talents, to rise above the sea of similarity, and stand on his own as the voice of a generation. A generation that is fueled by heart, emotion, passion and determination.

    And that man has come to surface as Secondhand Serenade...

    Born into a family of musicians, John Vesely has taken the gift he was instilled with, and shaped it into his own. With the help of his father, a professional jazz musician for over 20 years in the Czech Republic, he started getting into music around the age of 12. Playing bass for 8 years, he was a member of numerous Bay area bands ranging in style from ska and hardcore to rock and pop. But it wasn't until he picked up the acoustic guitar that he finally found his true calling. "I switched to guitar when I met my wife. She wanted me to play her a song, but I didn't have a band at the time and serenading her with a bass guitar was out of the question" Vesely said.

    Once he began writing his own material, John scraped up the money for 8 days of studio time and went in to record the 10-track album, known as Awake in the summer of 2005. Armed with a superior vocal range, a mind blowing sense of harmony and heart wrenching lyrics, he was able to walk away with an acoustic album that would prove to be the groundwork for the start of his career. When it came time to chose a name, he decided to go with Secondhand Serenade in an attempt to stay away from the typical singer/songwriter image. "It's everything I would want in a band name and more. It basically sums up what I do. I write my songs about events and feelings that occur in my life, and I sing the songs to my wife. Everyone else gets the Secondhand Serenade."

    While some artists may fear the rawness of playing with just an acoustic guitar, John welcomes the honesty it comes along with. He claims "In some ways a band is more powerful, but in other ways there are things you can do with one voice and one acoustic guitar that you couldn't do with an army of musicians behind you." It only seems right that an artist with this mentality begins to spread his wings.

    With his eyes set on conquering a fan base, John put together a MySpace page and started playing out in his area. As the number of listeners at his shows began to grow, so did his on-line fan base... in a BIG way. In just a few months time, Secondhand Serenade would shoot to the #1 position of all unsigned bands on the widely popular site. Simultaneously, he would become the only unsigned act to have a CD in the top 100 alternative albums on itunes. While that seemed exciting enough, he also released a few demos on Yahoo! Launch, which would soon claim the #1 position as well, on the Adult Alternative station. This time, he was not beating out other unsigned acts, he was competing with the cream of the crop, and winning. Months would go by as Secondhand Serenade claimed the top of the chart over such names as John Mayer, Nickelback and Evanescence. Not used to seeing this kind of reaction, industry insiders began to wonder... was it actually possible for an unsigned, one man act, with nothing more than a self-produced acoustic album, and the help of no one but fans, to post numbers that were superior to artists on major labels? Artists with millions of dollars spent on promotions? For Secondhand Serenade, it was not only possible... it was reality.

    As 2006 began to wind down, John's career was in full swing as he stepped to the next level. Having made the rounds to major labels in New York and Los Angeles, a deal was eventually signed with Glassnote Records, a brand new label started by respected industry veteran, Daniel Glass. As Glassnote's first official artist, the team immediately went to work mapping out the next year for Secondhand Serenade, along with the help of Warner/Independent Label Group.

    2007 now looks to be an eventful year as well. With 2 new songs added to Awake, Glassnote/ILG released the album to retail on February 6th. In addition, a video was shot with Frank Borin (director for Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Eminem) for the song "Vulnerable," a fan favorite. This year will also provide Secondhand Serenade an opportunity to see his fans from all over the country. With shows already scheduled for SXSW and numerous other tours taking shape, John anticipates giving his audience from coast to coast, a firsthand experience. He will also see the studio again soon as another release is being planned for later in the year. Stay tuned... Secondhand Serenade is invading the hearts, minds and airwaves of the world.

    • Tahapan Terjadinya Stres

    Posted by Yasa 05.33, under | 0 komentar

    Gejala-gejala stres pada diri seseorang seringkali tidak disadari karena perjalanan awal tahapan stres timbul secara lambat, dan baru dirasakan bilamana tahapan gejala sudah lanjut dan mengganggu fungsi kehidupannya sehari-hari baik di rumah, di tempat kerja ataupun pergaulan lingkungan sosialnya. Dr. Robert J. Amberg (dalam Hawari, 2001) membagi tahapan-tahapan stres sebagai berikut :

    1. Stres tahap I
    Tahapan ini merupakan tahapan stres yang paling ringan dan biasanya disertai dengan perasaan-perasaan sebagai berikut: 1) Semangat bekerja besar, berlebihan (over acting); 2) Penglihatan “tajam” tidak sebagaimana biasanya; 3) Merasa mampu menyelesaikan pekerjaan lebih dari biasanya, namun tanpa disadari cadangan energi semakin menipis.

    2. Stres tahap II
    Dalam tahapan ini dampak stres yang semula “menyenangkan” sebagaimana diuraikan pada tahap I di atas mulai menghilang, dan timbul keluhan-keluhan yang disebabkan karena cadangan energi yang tidak lagi cukup sepanjang hari, karena tidak cukup waktu untuk beristirahat. Istirahat yang dimaksud antara lain dengan tidur yang cukup, bermanfaat untuk mengisi atau memulihkan cadangan energi yang mengalami defisit. Keluhan-keluhan yang sering dikemukakan oleh seseorang yang berada pada stres tahap II adalah sebagai berikut: 1) Merasa letih sewaktu bangun pagi yang seharusnya merasa segar; 2) Merasa mudah lelah sesudah makan siang; 3) Lekas merasa capai menjelang sore hari; 4) Sering mengeluh lambung/perut tidak nyaman (bowel discomfort); 5) Detakan jantung lebih keras dari biasanya (berdebar-debar); 6) Otot-otot punggung dan tengkuk terasa tegang; 7) Tidak bisa santai.

    3. Stres Tahap III
    Apabila seseorang tetap memaksakan diri dalam pekerjaannya tanpa menghiraukan keluhan-keluhan pada stres tahap II, maka akan menunjukkan keluhan-keluhan yang semakin nyata dan mengganggu, yaitu: 1) Gangguan lambung dan usus semakin nyata; misalnya keluhan “maag”(gastritis), buang air besar tidak teratur (diare); 2) Ketegangan otot-otot semakin terasa; 3) Perasaan ketidaktenangan dan ketegangan emosional semakin meningkat; 4) Gangguan pola tidur (insomnia), misalnya sukar untuk mulai masuk tidur (early insomnia), atau terbangun tengah malam dan sukar kembali tidur (middle insomnia), atau bangun terlalu pagi atau dini hari dan tidak dapat kembali tidur (Late insomnia); 5) Koordinasi tubuh terganggu (badan terasa loyo dan serasa mau pingsan). Pada tahapan ini seseorang sudah harus berkonsultasi pada dokter untuk memperoleh terapi, atau bisa juga beban stres hendaknya dikurangi dan tubuh memperoleh kesempatan untuk beristirahat guna menambah suplai energi yang mengalami defisit.

    3. Stres Tahap IV
    Gejala stres tahap IV, akan muncul: 1) Untuk bertahan sepanjang hari saja sudah terasa amat sulit; 2) Aktivitas pekerjaan yang semula menyenangkan dan mudah diselesaikan menjadi membosankan dan terasa lebih sulit; 3) Yang semula tanggap terhadap situasi menjadi kehilangan kemampuan untuk merespons secara memadai (adequate); 4) Ketidakmampuan untuk melaksanakan kegiatan rutin sehari-hari; 5) Gangguan pola tidur disertai dengan mimpi-mimpi yang menegangkan; Seringkali menolak ajakan (negativism) karena tiada semangat dan
    kegairahan; 6) Daya konsentrasi daya ingat menurun; 7) Timbul perasaan ketakutan dan kecemasan yang tidak dapat dijelaskan apa penyebabnya.

    4. Stres Tahap V
    Bila keadaan berlanjut, maka seseorang itu akan jatuh dalam stres tahap V, yang ditandai dengan hal-hal sebagai berikut: 1) Kelelahan fisik dan mental yang semakin mendalam (physical dan psychological exhaustion); 2) Ketidakmampuan untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan sehari-hari yang ringan dan sederhana; 3) Gangguan sistem pencernaan semakin berat (gastrointestinal disorder); 4) Timbul perasaan ketakutan, kecemasan yang semakin meningkat, mudah bingung dan panik.

    6. Stres Tahap VI
    Tahapan ini merupakan tahapan klimaks, seseorang mengalami serangan panik (panic attack) dan perasaan takut mati. Tidak jarang orang yang mengalami stres tahap VI ini berulang dibawa ke Unit Gawat Darurat bahkan ICCU, meskipun pada akhirnya dipulangkan karena tidak ditemukan kelainan fisik organ tubuh. Gambaran stres tahap VI ini adalah sebagai berikut: 1) Debaran jantung teramat keras; 2) Susah bernapas (sesak dan megap-megap); 3) Sekujur badan terasa gemetar, dingin dan keringat bercucuran; 4) Ketiadaan tenaga untuk hal-hal yang ringan; 5) Pingsan atau kolaps (collapse). Bila dikaji maka keluhan atau gejala sebagaimana digambarkan di atas lebih didominasi oleh keluhan-keluhan fisik yang disebabkan oleh gangguan faal (fungsional) organ tubuh, sebagai akibat stresor psikososial yang melebihi kemampuan seseorang untuk mengatasinya.

    Kepribadian

    Posted by Yasa 05.12, under | 0 komentar

    Kepribadian berdasarkan aspek biologis :
    Berdasarkan aspek biologis, Hipocrates membagi kepribadian menjadi 4 kelompok besar dengan fokus pada cairan tubuh yang mendominasi dan memberikan pengaruh kepada individu tersebut. ( 4 jenis cairan tubuh), pembagiannya meliputi : empedu kuning (choleris), empedu hitam (melankolis), cairan lendir (flegmatis) dan darah (sanguinis).

    a. Sanguin,
    Sanguin adalah orang yang gembira, yang senang hatinya, mudah untuk membuat orang tertawa, dan bisa memberi semangat pada orang lain. Tapi kelemahannya adalah dia cenderung impulsive, yaitu orang yang bertindak sesuai emosi atau keinginannya.

    b. Plegmatik,
    Tipe plegmatik     adalah orang yang cenderung tenang, dari luar cenderung tidak beremosi, tidak menampakkan perasaan sedih atau senang. Naik turun emosinya itu tidak nampak dengan jelas. Orang ini memang cenderung bisa menguasai dirinya dengan cukup baik, ia intorspektif sekali, memikirkan ke dalam, bisa melihat, menatap dan memikirkan masalah-masalah yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Kelemahan orang plegmatik adalah ia cenderung mau ambil mudahnya, tidak mau susah, sehingga suka mengambil jalan pintas yang paling mudah dan gampang.

    c. Melankolik,
    Tipe melankolik adalah orang yang terobsesi dengan karya yang paling bagus, yang paling sempurna dan dia memang adalah seseorang yang mengerti estetika keindahan hidup ini. Perasaannya sangat kuat, sangat sensitif maka kita bisa menyimpulkan bahwa cukup banyak seniman yang memang berdarah melankolik.
    Kelemahan orang melankolik, ia mudah sekali dikuasai oleh perasaan dan cukup sering perasaan yang mendasari hidupnya sehari-hari adalah perasaan murung.

    d. Kolerik.
    Seseorang yang kolerik adalah seseorang yang dikatakan berorientasi pada pekerjaan dan tugas, dia adalah seseorang yang mempunyai disiplin kerja yang sangat tinggi. Kelebihannya adalah dia bisa melaksanakan tugas dengan setia dan akan bertanggung jawab dengan tugas yang diembannya. Kelemahan orang yang berciri kolerik adalah kurangnya kemampuan untuk bisa merasakan perasaan orang lain (empati), belas kasihannya terhadap penderitaan orang lain juga agak minim, karena perasaannya kurang bermain.
