PHASE-CHANGE MEMORY: Brad Mehldau
PCM is the next generation of computer RAM (random access memory): it will provide among other things ultra-high speed – it will allow us to check very quickly the very first recordings of our favourite musicians:
Brad Mehldau‘s first recording as leader was New York-Barcelona Crossing, Vol. 1/2.

End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility
Organizations are continuously expanding their footprint regionally and globally, making the supply chain professional’s life challenging. This continuous change is tied to an organizations desire to explore low cost production centers and reduce overall costs by placing warehouses and assembling units closer to their customers in order to meet the demand of being faster to market. This activity has resulted in an increase of volume of cross border transactions which makes an organization’s international supply chain more complex.
In a complex global supply chain, organizations are required to work with various parties within and outside the organization in order to meet the customer demands, and yet reduce costs. Having end-to-end Supply Chain Visibility becomes imperative for an organization’s success in meeting these objectives.

So as brave as many of them have become, so shall I from a Christian perspective as I come to terms with what I have labeled as their process of “Coming In”.
I confess that I have viewed those in the GLBT realm rather harshly as a heterosexual female and Believer in the Gospel of Christ Jesus. My judgement as an imperfect being against another has been the true reflection of hypocrisy. For this I am truly remorseful. I vow…
