This is a neat picture I found on Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) which some may find interesting. It is basically the equivilent of Human Resource Management but aimed specifically to the aviation industry.
Almost looks like Maslow's heirarchy, as mentioned before in this site. But anyway, I just thought that was kind of interesting.
It basically refers to any groups, a business organisation in particular, and how members of the group should behave to enhance cohesiveness and, I suppose, strength and success.
Recently I bought some new albums, the first one being Mazzy Star's - She Hangs Brightly, a band I don't know too much about yet. I started listening to them since their release of 'Fade into you'. I think they are from the UK, although I could be wrong, and I will update this when I find out [I just checked it up and they are from the UK]. The band is led by a female singer with a very sweet and sad voice, stringing some mellow tunes together for a quiet meloncholy night. Some of their songs from this album, and others I bet, almost sound country like. But listen to a couple of their tracks, like 'Fade into you', and perhaps 'Cry Cry'.
As I write this, I am listening to Radiohead's - Amnesiac, which is sounding alright so far. I really like Pyramid song, and a couple others. Thank you to James for lending it to me. I am yet to listen to the whole of Kid A, and I think I'll be more impressed by that one than this, although it is definately worth adding to your current Radiohead collection [if you have one].
The other album I bought is Michael Franti and Spearhead - Stay Human. It is basically about the death penalty, and illustrates the reality of it quite well with songs and radio scripts too. You must listen to it the whole way through, like a story, in consecutive order. There is a broad range of songs on the album too, some sounding like Lenny Kravitz helped sing the song, and some that you may think Ben Harper influence the production of. But listen to what the album is on about, and I suppose think about it; it's from the USA, with one man showing his interpretation of what it's like over there. I wrote up one of his songs called Rock the Nation (its had a lot of airplay on the radio recently), so you can read it. Here is an article on Michael Franti from the Drum Media (#556, 17/07/2001). I found another article in the Herald (23 July 2001) featuring Michael Franti.
Here is a funny picture, one of many many pictures I have accumulated over the space of about 18 months.
