Who has ever heard of such a thing?
Who has ever heard of such a thing?
Who has ever seen something like this?
Marvel, O heaven;
Wonder, O earth;
Behold, O universe.
God has descended to flesh, and flesh has ascended to God.
The Word has become flesh.
The virgin adores Him whom she bore.
O deepest descent, O highest ascent!
He lies on hay in a manger Who sits on the throne of glory in heaven;
He mingles with rough animals Who is praised by angelic choirs;
He is quiet at His mother's breast Who always speaks in the lap of His father.
He is hidden in a lowly stable, but is shown to the world by a shining star;
He is wrapped in swaddling clothes but is visited by kings;
He cries and weeps Who is the laughter and joy of Paradise.
Behold, what majesty, behold, what humility: majesty inside, humility outside, power inside, infancy outside, the riches of divinity inside, the poverty of humanity outside.
O true birth, most worthy of God and man!
Who has ever heard such a thing?
Who has ever seen something like this?
So let us, devoutly and humbly, adore Him with the shepherds, praise Him with the angels, let us praise the Solomonic King in the bodily diadem with which the virgin Mary, His mother, has crowned Him.
(Anonymous, set by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, Quis audivit unquam tale?, 1650)
"Soften the voice as if, little by little, going away"
Gloria in altissimis – New Release from The Cozzolani Project
Click Here to Listen and Download
The Cozzolani Project's first new release is the Christmas Dialogue Gloria in altissimis, one of the Cozzolani's most immediately appealing works, in which she vividly captures the brilliance and wonder of the Christmas narrative. The anonymous text alludes to Luke 2:10 and 14, and in Cozzolani's hands it is infused with a gleeful exuberance and a touch of chromatic mystery. The Angels (two sopranos) are "glorious" and the shepherds (scored for alto and tenor) are at first astonished and then jubilant.
After the shepherd's initial encounter with the angels, increasingly expressive solos are given to the four voices in turn, sung on Magnificat's recording by soprano Catherine Webster, alto Suzanne Jubenville, soprano Andrea Fullington, and alto Karen Clark, who sings the tenor part at notated pitch. David Tayler, theorbo and Hanneke van Proosdij, organ complete the ensemble.
In an almost theatrical gesture, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani instructs the four singers at the end to "soften the voice as if, little by little, going away" in imitation of the Angelic choir disappearing as they ascend back to Heaven after announcing their good news to the awestruck shepherds.
Gloria in altissimis is designated in the part books (download facsimile) as a "Dialogue between the angels and the shepherds, for the feast of the Nativity of Our Lord". Robert Kendrick has observed that "of all the new genres found in Seicento Milan, the dialogue was the most central, a phenomenon evident in Cozzolani's motet books…providing a vehicle for the expression of individual affect, whether of generic figures, scriptural characters, or historical saints…" The dialogue genre embodied the idea of direct communication between humans and the divine that dominated Milanese spiritual writing of the first half of the 17th Century.
Eight of Cozzolani's works are explicitly designated as dialogues, four in each of the two surviving collections. The range of works so designated is remarkable, encompassing as it does acclamatory (Psallite superi, O caeli cives), biblical (this work for Christmas, Maria Magdalene stabat for Easter), consolatory (Ave mater dilectissima), and liturgical (Beatus vir) settings, as well as the only two penitential motets in Cozzolani's entire output (O mi domine, and Quid miseri).
Magnificat first performed Gloria in altissimis on the San Francisco Early Music Society series in December 1999. We performed the dialogue again earlier this month on our own series in a program structured around the Midnight Mass. The recording was produced by Peter Watchorn and engineered and mixed by Joel Gordon.
Photos from Magnificat's Cozzolani Performances
We've uploaded photos from our wonderful week of Cozzolani to our Flickr page. Beyond the excellent musicians, we benefitted from assistance from a four footed advisor in Berkeley. Here's a sample from the photo set:
Monteverdi, Grandi and The Company of San Marco
While reveling in the beauty of music from the past, we seldom consider the "office politics" and professional competition that surrounded its composition and original performance. The goal of simultaneously creating beauty and paying rent has always been proven challenging and even among highly respected and gainfully employed artists, competition has frequently led to conflict.
In his biographical sketch of Alessandro Grandi, published previously on this blog, Steven Saunders mentions the composer's rapid rise to positions of authority at the Basilica of San Marco after returning from Ferrara in 1617. Among the positions that he attained was capo, or head, of the Compagnia di San Marco, a group not unlike a modern musicians' union that organized singers for "freelance work" outside the basilica.
Already in the 15th Century, musical activity outside the Basilica had been organized through confraternities known as Scuole Grandi. In his seminal article on organizations of musicians in Venice, Jonathan Glixon relates that "sometime in the years before 1553 the singers of the ducal cappella organized themselves into two companies that competed for work at the Scuole and elsewhere. The rivalry between the two became intense and bitter, making it difficult not only for them to secure engagements, but also to work together at San Marco. The solution to this problem, and the ensuing resolutions, petitions, and counter- resolutions, are preserved in a fascinating series of documents that provides unique insights into the business of music in sixteenth- century Venice."

SFCV Review: Milanese Mass and Motets
The San Francisco Classical Voice published the following review by Anna Carol Dudley. It is very gratifying to be recognized so graciously. Bravi tutti to Catherine, Meg, Jennifer, Kristen, Hugh and Hanneke – it was a wonderful week!
Magnificat's dazzling singers have done it again. As part of their ongoing project to perform and record the complete works of Chiara Margarita Cozzolani, four singers brought her glorious music vividly to life in a performance Saturday at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Berkeley. The four women sang music that Cozzolani wrote for the famous singing nuns in her convent, Santa Radegonda, in 17th-century Milan.
Cozzolani's setting of a Christmas Mass, In nativitate Domini (The birthday of the Lord), was written to be sung by a male celebrant — in this concert, Hugh Davies, whose expressive chant framed the work. The women formed a chorus, chanting in unison, then blossoming into a quartet to sing the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. The quartets, originally sung by women, were published in Cozzolani's time with tenor and bass parts, which have been given back to women in Magnificat's performances.
The quartet for this concert consisted of sopranos Catherine Webster and Jennifer Ellis Kampani and altos Meg Bragle and Kristen Dubenion-Smith. Ellis Kampani sang the tenor parts transposed up, Bragle did some at pitch, and Dubenion-Smith, a real alto possessed of a lovely low range, sang bass, sometimes transposed and sometimes at pitch. A bass line provided by cellist Warren Stewart supported the harmony. Hanneke van Proosdij completed the continuo at the organ, playing with wonderful imagination, especially in a couple of solo motets. Read more…
Salmi Bizarri – The Life and Music of Cozzolani (Podcast)
Magnificat's recording Vespro della Beata Vergine included a third CD called "Beyond the Notes" – Salmi Bizarri: Cozzolani and the music of Milanese convents. Patterned on the talks that precede each Magnificat concert, on this CD I discussed aspects of Cozzolani's life and music with musical examples.
This introduction to the life and music of Cozzolani is now available in streaming audio here:

Announcing The Cozzolani Project
In 2000, Magnificat and Musica Omnia began recording the complete works of Chiara Margarita Cozzolani. The Cozzolani Project is a continuation and expansion of that venture that will eventually make all of Cozzolani's surviving compositions available as streaming audio and digital download.
Magnificat's two CDs on the Musica Omnia label, Vespro della Beata Vergine and Messa Paschale included about half of Cozzolani's surviving works. As a result, four psalms, another setting of the Magnificat, and eight motets remain to be released in two double CD box sets.
The recordings will be released both digitally and on physical CDs, with a complete recording of Cozzolani's 1650 collection Salmi a otto voci due for release and shipment in Spring 2010 with her 1642 collection Concerti Sacri, due in Spring 2011. The previously unreleased tracks will become available for individually as they are completed.
In addition to the recordings we seek to promote a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of Cozzolani's life and music and the cultural context in which she lived. The website Cozzolani.com which will serve as a resource of information about Cozzolani, scholarly work on music in convents in Italy and other related areas of study, news about performances and publications of her music and other materials related to this remarkable composer.
All those pre-ordering CDs from The Cozzolani Project will automatically receive codes and links enabling free digital downloads of all tracks – those previously released and those currently in preparation as they become available.
All digital downloads are available in a variety of lossless formats – FLAC, AIFF, WAV and more. In additional to pre-ordering each individual track is available for download as well.

Went to Joplin on Saturday, with a heavy realization I am fully resolved:
For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (without Christ, indeed)
Isaiah 64:6
Pray that God continues to use His people to do His work and good will.
Lord willing we'll be going back soon.

So I just discovered that a mustache's nickname in almost every other place but the good ol USofA is Mo. Makes sense. And people love mo's so much that they dedicate a whole month to growing one out... MOvember. Who knew!? I've heard of March being Mustache Madness but never Movember. Well anyway... there's a point here (and a chance at FREE shoes!)Shoevember was created for the partners of men who are participating in Movember - the wives, girlfriends, sisters, colleagues and besties.

Google has released its latest list of products being shut down as part of its drive by its CEO Larry Page to focus more on its promising projects.
"We're in the process of shutting a number of products which haven't had the impact we'd hoped for, integrating others as features into our broader product efforts, and ending several which have shown us a different path forward," Google operations senior vice president Urs Holzle says in a blog post.
Google's "Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal" campaign launched to bring down the cost of generating solar power is one of the seven names listed in the Google undertakings being tossed out. "We've published our results to help others in the field continue to advance the state of power tower technology, and we've closed our efforts," Holzle says of the renewable energey initiative. "At this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google to take this research to the next level," he adds.
Here's a full list of products are being shut down by Google:
Google Bookmark List: Started as an experimental feature, the Bookmark List feature allows users to share bookmarks and subsequent collaboration with friends. The feature is slated to be shut down on December 19, 2011.
Google Friend Connect: It enables webmasters to add social features to their sites by including a few snippets of code. The service is slated is going down on March 1, 2012. Google further invites the affected sites to switch to Google+.
Google Gears: The service, scheduled to go inactive on December 1, will stop providing offline access to Gmail and Google Calendar. Google is prepping an improved HTML 5-based version of the service to give offline support to its apps.
Google Search Timeline: You can still see the historical results for a search query with the navigation tools on the left side of the search page, but the relevant graph will now not appear.
Google Wave: Google had already announced stopping development of its Google Wave. From January 31, 2012, Wave will be only read-only and users will not be allowed to create new ones.
Knol: Google aimed to compete with Wikipedia by building a large network experts and create a large database of verified information. From May 1 through October 1, 2012, Knols will no longer be viewable
Google has been shutting down what it calls its non-promising products since co-founder Larry Page took over as chief executive of the company. The Internet company last month announced shutting down online news reader Fast Flip, social search service Aardvark, commenting tool Sidewiki and several other products.

Reports & Resources
At Insuring Florida, we publish helpful and informational documents from time to time for the benefit of our readers. These documents are free to download and review. Please note the format of each document, and, if necessary, download the required reader software.
Florida PIP Bill
HB 119 was signed by Gov. Rick Scott to reform the state's no-fault auto insurance laws, also known as Personal Injury Protection (PIP). The Insurance Information Institute has prepared a paper to explain what the changes are, when they take place and how they impact Florida drivers who experience injuries in a car crash.
Hurricane Deductibles
Overview of Florida Insurance Market
The total value of insured coastal property in Florida is nearly $2.5 trillion, the highest of any other state.
Insuring to Replacement Cost
Property insurance is priced on the cost to rebuild, not real estate value.
Sinkhole Law Changes
Sinkholes are very common within Florida's landscape, where numerous underground caves, springs and drainage systems are carved into the porous limestone beneath the earth's surface.
Changes in the Flood Insurance Program
Important changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) took effect on October 1, 2009.
Useful Links
Straight Talk About Florida's Property Insurance Market: May 2011
Inquiring minds may want to know more about certain news stories related to property and casualty insurance in Florida. With that in mind, the Insurance Information Institute created a chart (file below) with key points you may have read in the news, followed by related facts that provide context to the subject.
Business Insurance 101
A property insurance policy will cover the rebuilding cost of your building, and there are other coverages to consider to help a business bounce back from a substantial loss. These coverage options help you make payroll and pay for utilities and other expenses.
Residential Insurers' Market Share By County
Private insurers provide the bulk of property insurance in Florida – 77 percent. Citizens Property Insurance, the state-run company, provides only 23 percent of homeowners with insurance coverage. In fact, in 30 of Florida's 67 counties, private insurers are insuring at least 90 percent of the homes. In coastal counties, however, the percentage drops, and coastal residents may have both a Citizens policy for their wind/hurricane insurance and a private insurance policy for all the other types of loss, such as a fire, tornado or water damage.
State of the Florida Property Insurance Market:
Past, Present and Future
This PowerPoint report by Lynne MChristian, Florida representative of the Insurance Information Institute, presented before the Florida House Insurance and Banking Sub-Committee, reviews the state of the Florida property insurance market. Sections include a review of property/casualty performance and historical impacts; profitability and growth analyses; an economic outlook and property exposure impacts analysis; and a catastrophe loss update. The last section focuses on Florida's historic role regarding hurricanes and tornadoes. The presentation concludes with a discussion of flood and surge—key issues in flood insurance.
How to Read Your Insurance Policy: Understanding What You Bought & How It Works
The Insurance Information Institute wants every policyholder to understand their insurance protection, and that is especially necessary for the men and women who work in emergency management. At the National Hurricane Conference, the I.I.I. brings together insurance professionals to deliver a presentation to explain what is in a basic home insurance policy. We provide insight into what is covered and what is not. When disaster strikes, those who work in helping a community to recover are focused on others, not their own situation. Knowing what questions to ask and how to protect their family and finances in advance of a major storm is key to peace of mind. The presentation will help you, too.
Getting Smart About Insurance: For Your Business
and on the Home Front
The Insurance Information Institute partnered with the Small Business Development Center, the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association and the Florida Division of Emergency Management on a series workshops held throughout the state in June 2013 to help small businesses develop a business continuity plan and prepare for disasters. The I.I.I. presentation focused on what businesses need to know about insurance for both the company and their personal situation. Understanding how insurance works – before disaster strikes – is essential to making good decisions about what type of coverage you need.
Social Media and Insurance: What You Should Know
About Your Liability
When you use social media tools, it's not only what you say: it's also how, where and when. This presentation by the I.I.I.'s Lynne McChristian was delivered at the 2013 National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans. It details how the Insurance Information Institute takes a multi-pronged approach to building community through social media and the different websites and tools it employs for distinct audiences, including one specifically for disaster communication. The presentation also looked at how major insurers maintain their online presence, and it also provided an overview of the liability issues bloggers and social media users may face.
Florida No-Fault Auto Insurance: A Historical Primer
This PowerPoint report, presented at the Florida Auto Insurance Fraud Strike Force board meeting by the Florida representative of the Insurance Information Institute, provides an overview of no-fault auto insurance in Florida. The report defines no-fault, its objectives, and offers a no-fault timeline for Florida from 1972, when the system was adopted, until now. Charts showing average no-fault claim severity using some 2012 data and a map of the U.S. showing insurance fraud nationwide are included.
Insurance and Incentives for Mitigation
Over 40 percent of the global population live in coastal cities, and there are significant challenges in managing natural assets of coastal regions as the population continues to migrate toward the water. This presentation, delivered at the Coastal Cities Summit in St. Petersburg, Florida, looks at the overall exposure to risk and the dangers and costs of building and rebuilding in vulnerable areas. It looks at incentives and barriers to mitigation, and what it will take to encourage people to take action to harden a home to make it stand up to hurricane-force winds.

Hurricane Andrew and Insurance: The Enduring Impact of an Historic Storm
Hurricane Andrew struck Florida on August 24, 1992, and the tumult it created for the property insurance market in the state has not ceased in the 20 years since, according to an analysis by the Insurance Information Institute (.I.I.). The I.I.I. white paper outlines six key insurance market changes attributed to the costliest Florida disaster. Insurance claims payouts for Andrew totaled $15.5 billion at the time ($25 billion in 2011 dollars), and it remains the second costliest U.S. natural disaster, after Hurricane Katrina, which hit in 2005. Hurricane Andrew forced individuals, insurers, legislators, insurance regulators and state governments to come to grips with the necessity of preparing both financially and physically for unprecedented natural disaster.

Taking care of your beard involves keeping it clean, neat, trimmed and soft. You don't want the women complaining, do you? And ladies, if your man is not reading this, ensure that you suggest a few tips to him for zero future squabbles over a rough beard!
If you've never given much thought to beard softening, then it's time you did. Before you start, make sure your beard is the right length – seems obvious right, but you'd be surprised how many people skip this important step! Make sure you've picked up a good trimmer, with a wide range of settings and lengths. You might want to look up trimmers for men in India to get an idea for what's on the market before you buy anything – remember by shopping around you can often get a better deal!
Here are 5 hacks that'll teach you how to soften beard, and keep it nice and heathy.
5 Hacks to Keep That Rugged Beard Nice And Soft
A beard is rugged and many women find men with beards irresistible. Look around you; it does seem to be the trend. But do you know how to take good care of your facial hair.
#1 Shampoo your beard
- You must shampoo your beard 2-3 times a week.
- Invest in a good beard shampoo made especially for facial hair.
- Apply the shampoo gently and massage it in a circular manner.
- Let it stay for a few minutes while you lather and rinse the rest of you.
- Wash it off with lukewarm water.
#2 Use a conditioner
- Just as you would use a conditioner on your hair after shampooing, get into the habit of using a conditioner on your beard too.
- Get a conditioner meant for beards, and improve the texture of your beard, making it softer and more manageable.
#3 Apply face wash
- If you wash your face with a face wash, make sure you clean your beard as well to get rid of dirt and other particles that get stuck in it every day.
- This will keep your beard clean and also more manageable.
#4 Rinse thoroughly
- Rinse your beard thoroughly after using the shampoo and conditioner.
- Any leftover residue will dry your skin and also make your hair rough.
- Comb your beard away from your face to get all product out.
- Use a soft towel to gently remove excess water and let your beard air-dry.
#5 Give your beard some nourishment
Besides regular cleaning, shampooing and conditioning, it is important for you to pamper your beard regularly to soften beard hair. You can also use natural gels like aloe vera for softening and hydrating your beard. Aloe vera gel for hair is a very well known "dadima ka nuskha" and can help your beard as well! Along with this, the following recipes will ensure that your beard is always well-maintained, groomed and healthy!
Here are a few simple homemade recipes that you can use.
Recipe #1:
- Combine equal quantities of coconut oil, almond oil and olive oil.
- Mix in a little warm honey or just a few drops of milk cream.
- Apply this paste to your beard and wash it off after 25-30 minutes.
- Use a bristle brush to keep wayward strands in place.
Recipe #2:
- A paste of orange peel powder and milk works as an excellent beard softener.
- Apply the paste to your beard and wait for an hour.
- Once the paste is crusty, wash it off with warm water.
- Use this treatment regularly for luxuriant and soft beard hair.
Recipe #3:
- A nourishing balm of shea butter and coconut oil, jojoba oil and almond oil can be applied every day for a soft beard.
- Mix together ¾ cup unrefined shea butter, and 4 tablespoons of a mixture of coconut oil, jojoba oil and almond oil.
- You can add a few drops of essential oils of your choice.
- Take a little of this balm and massage it into your beard after your bath for a shiny, healthy beard.
Use these tricks to keep your beard looking healthy and shiny, and the women will love you for it. Add a dash of Old Spice to get the complete all-male deal.

I spent a wonderfully relaxing 3 nights at our family holiday house in Pringle Bay last weekend. We celebrated Ali's birthday – she's our local pizza place owner. If you're ever in Pringle, make a point of stopping by for one of her amazing pizzas. I walked on the beach with my parents, ate late brunches, watched my dad play a bit of a gig which is always fantastic, and ended up having to help my dad catch and release a puff adder that slithered onto our veranda. Just a bit of excitement to end off the weekend!
My hat and shoes were gifted to me, sunnies are from somewhere in Barcelona, my dress is from Mr Price years ago, and actually belongs to my mother. I can only give a link to the cosy cardigan. Cardigan – Forever New

The currently supported file format to exchange clinical trial data with the FDA is the SAS Transport version 5. It is generally well recognized that this format is obsolete and should be replaced with a more modern format. There is one effort underway to identify a new format. This post makes a case for considering the Resource Description Framework (RDF) for representing and exchanging study data. I have been learning quite a bit about the RDF for the past several years. Although I am not an expert, I've been able to appreciate the benefits RDF offers over other potential solutions.
The RDF provides a general approach for describing data of any kind. It is the foundation of the "semantic web." Multiple serialization formats exist for the RDF, including RDF/XML, turtle, and JSON-LD. Numerous freely available converters exist on the Web. Just do a Google search for "RDF format converter."
When I say RDF, I actually mean a suite of related standards that "play nicely together" and exist to ensure the meaning or semantics exist and travel with the data. These include the RDF, OWL (Web Ontology Language), SPARQL (the query language of the semantic web), and SPIN (SPARQL inference notation).
So why use the RDF? There are several considerations to keep in mind. First, I'd like to point out the Yosemite Project. It is an effort to improve semantic interoperability of all structured healthcare information by using the RDF. It provides numerous compelling arguments in favor of the RDF. Then there is a lot of activity exploring the use of the RDF in the biomedical information space. For example, there is existing work in expressing CDISC standards in the RDF. There is an ongoing effort to develop an RDF representation of HL7 FHIR. There are numerous other efforts to express other standards, such as MedDRA, SNOMED CT and other terminologies using the RDF.
It is worth mentioning that it is not absolutely necessary that data be exchanged using the RDF. Other standards may be acceptable as long as they have an unambiguous representation in the RDF and can be easily converted to/from RDF. This helps ensure a level of semantic clarity that is often lacking in existing standards due to unrecognized ambiguous definitions or naming of concepts. In a previous post, I describe best practices for defining concepts in a way that facilitate an unambiguous RDF/OWL representation. Converting to an RDF representation (particularly OWL), in my experience, tends to surface semantic ambiguities that previously may have gone unrecognized and impede semantically interoperable data exchange.
Here are the five reasons.
Reason #1. As the industry considers retiring the current exchange format, any new format should be capable of accommodating new content requirements easily while maintaining backwards compatibility as much as possible. Switching to a new format is going to be costly, so it's important to pick one that is useful over the long haul. Tools must be modified to be able to read and write data using the new format. The standard must be robust to accommodate current requirements and flexible enough to accommodate new requirements easily as they emerge, as change is inevitable. The RDF is capable of supporting this. Ontologies and vocabularies may need updating, but the underlying tools that interact with the updated ontologies don't change, because the underlying standard, the RDF, is the same. This is extremely powerful. Incorporating new content requirements has turned out to be a major roadblock in implementing existing standards. I would argue that this reason alone is the major reason for testing and transitioning to the RDF for study data exchange.
Reason #2. Standardizing study data often requires mapping data that exist in legacy formats. The RDF provides powerful mapping capabilities, using standard predicates (i.e. relationships between variables and data points) such as owl:equivalentClass and owl:sameAs. One can also leverage other existing ontologies such as SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System). By entering a single RDF triple in a database, one can assert an existing variable as equivalent to standard variable and the mapping is essentially complete from a computational standpoint.
Reason #3. Standardizing study data requires implementing not just a single standard, but a suite of exchange, terminology, and analysis standards. One needs to link all these standards together in a web of data and metadata. For example, a variable from Exchange Standard A has permissible terms from Terminology B. All of these are currently documented using various formats across various sources. Integrating all the necessary standards for implementation is very labor intensive, particularly as each standard evolves and different versions emerge. All the necessary standards can be expressed in the RDF, which is uniquely designed to link data across multiple sources. One can link multiple standards in one single ontology, which is published and maintained on the web as a resource. This would greatly simplify implementation and maintenance.
Reason #4. The RDF (and related standards) can be used to represent not only the study data, but the metadata, including definitions for derived data, the validation rules, and even the analysis plan. Any kind of information can be represented using RDF and this enables computers to link everything together for easy access and analysis. FDA guidances, regulations, and statutes can be expressed in the RDF. Why is this useful? If study data are expressed in the RDF, one can link to the relevant guidance recommendations expressed in the RDF and computers can help determine if the data are guidance-compliant. For example, an FDA guidance could have a series of RDF triples describing the recommended properties of a nonclinical skin toxicity study. A computer can then compare those recommendations with the actual properties of a study and identify any discrepancies. To my knowledge, no other existing standard is capable of supporting this important use case, which is currently a very time consuming, manual process. It is often very costly when discrepancies are identified too late, after studies are well underway or complete.
Reason #5. Another advantage is that RDF data can reside on the web and be easily accessible, easily queried, and easily combined with other RDF data. Assuming security concerns are appropriately addressed (i.e. proprietary data must reside behind firewalls and accessible only to authorized entities), this supports a future state where data are no longer exchanged, but users are simply provided access to the data on the web. RDF and related standards already support this distributed nature of managing and querying data from multiple sources.
Many of these benefits will take time to realize, but I think it's important to take a long-term perspective. I admit my analysis comes from a novice who has only begun to scratch the surface of the RDF and what it offers. I welcome thoughts from true RDF experts. I strongly encourage those not that familiar with the RDF to learn more about it. I have personally found this resource to be quite useful. There are clearly major technical challenges to overcome, but in my humble opinion, RDF represents the most promising alternative for the future of study data exchange. It would enhance computable semantic interoperability and open a new era in managing and integrating data from multiple sources, which in my view is the key for the next major phase of medical discoveries.

25 Microsoft Word Shortcuts that are Definitely Worth Knowing
I don't type very fast. Which is such a shame considering how I always hugged the family computer as a young teen, preferring to practice typing using an educative game called "Typing Tutor", rather than allow my brother play computer games. If I recall, I got tired of the game and at that time, my average speed was 13 wpm (words per minute). I'm definitely way faster that that now, but I'm still amazed at how fast some of people type.
Using Microsoft Word can be annoying at times - when you realise you've typed an entire paragraph using upper case. How do you convert to lower case? No no, please don't delete everything. Short cuts to the rescue. This is one of the earliest shortcuts I learnt. Shortcuts come in handy and could help improve efficiency and productivity considerably.
Today, I learnt how to zoom in on the screen using the key board and a mouse (Hold Ctrl while scrolling the mouse up to increase and own to decrease). So I figured this whole short cut business may be useful information, and sharing useful info never hurts.
So here we go, 25 key board shortcuts you may find useful when using Microsoft Word:
• Shift + F3: This changes the highlighted text from UPPER CASE to lower case and then Upper Case For Just The First Words.
• Cltrl + Shift +C: Copes formatting of selected text, Ctrl + Shift + V pastes the copied formatting into the highlighted text. This is useful if you have a paragraph you've applied some sort of special formatting to and you'll like to copy it to another paragraph.
• Ctrl + Shift + E: Turns track changing on or off.
• Ctrl + Shift + G: Opens word count. Word count typically shows at the bottom of the document, but if you'll like to check the word count for a specific paragraph or section, then use this.
• Cltrl+Alt + F: Insert a footnote
• Ctrl + Alt +C: the Copyright Symbol ©; Ctrl + Alt +T is for the trademark symbol ™ and Ctrl + Alt +R is for a registered trademark ®
• Ctrl + Alt +M: Insert a comment
• Ctrl + A: This selects the entire text. So you don't have to use the mouse to attempt scrolling from top to bottom
• Ctrl + B : Applies or removes bold formatting
• Ctrl + C: Copy text
• Ctrl + D: This opens the font dialogue box, so you can change font styles, numbers, size and include some effects like strike through, double strike through and use the super script and subscript
• Ctrl + F : Opens the find navigation bar
• Clrl + I: Applies or removes Italics
• Ctrl + J: Justify the text (i.e make it central). Ctrl + L aligns to the left and Ctrl + R aligns to the rights
• Ctrl + K: Insert a Hyperlink. Like this one
• Ctrl + M: Indent the paragraph from the left
• Ctrl + P : Print
• Ctrl + S: Save (Surely everyone knows this!)
• Ctrl +V: Paste
• Ctrl + W: Close an active window or document
• Ctrl + X: Cut (always advisable to use Copy and not cut so you don't lose a text)
• Ctrl + Y: Redo or repeat last action
• Ctrl + Z : Undo last action
• Ctrl + Enter: Insert a page break
It might seem daunting initially but overtime you get used to it and the shortcuts really come in handy. The + sign indicates that you should hold both keys down at the same time. If you're already familiar with these, there's more detailed shortcuts here (including those for Microsoft Excel, Explorer, and PowerPoint). I must warn you though, it's overwhelming and could give you a headache.
Are you a typing pro? Do you use shortcuts while typing? What are your most-used shortcuts? How did you learn these and how did you learn to type in general?

Grit lorries have been practicing their routes in Sussex this morning (September 26) as forecasters predict now and ice in the coming months.
More than 20 gritting lorries for West Sussex County Council rehearsed their winter routes around the county from 7am to 11am.
Contractors for the council practiced clearing the county's main roads as well as approaches to schools,colleges, hospitals and busy bus routes.
The practice, named Operation Snowflake, allowed drivers to check their equipment and familiarise themselves with the routes.
Cabinet member for highways and transport, John O'Brien, said, "The major benefit of this rehearsal is that it makes our drivers aware of the routes they are travelling.
"They see any problems, such as overgrown hedges, which may affect the real runs later in the year.
"It helps us prepare to make sure when day one of the real gritting work starts, we get everything completed in the correct time."
Each driver has a specialised GPS system which measures the driver's speed and pin-points where each gritter is on a map, in case of emergencies or break-downs.
More than 9,500 tonnes of salt is stockpiled at the council's depots in Drayton, Clapham and Jobs Lane, near Hickstead.
The practice comes after a long-range weather forecaster predicted Sussex and the rest of the UK will be in the grip of snow and ice for much of this coming winter.
Exacta Weather provides long-range forecasts and its latest predictions show that temperatures this winter will be below average.
The forecaster said changes in the Gulf Stream and low solar activity over the last year signal a harsh winter to come.
Exacta's current long-range forecast says, "There have been no improvements since we first reported on these changes, if anything the overall situation has worsened.
"This now means that those who like cold and snowy winters will not be disappointed this year, in particular, in the UK, Ireland and the north/east coast of the United States."
The Met Office provides an outlook for the next 30 days and is predicting some unsettled weather with chilly nights and local frosts.

Natural Life - Unnamed Land (USA, 1977)
On this record, which I think is quite superior to the previously posted ST, the basic quintet (recall this comprises Mike on guitar, Robert Rockwell III on saxes, Bill Berg on drums (and cover art), Bobby Peterson on piano, and W. Peterson Jr. on bass) is augmented by a half dozen more musicians playing vibes, flutes, congas, clarinet, and Rick Peterson on synths (on the last track). Each song is composed by a different musician pretty much. For me the standout is the collaborative track "Trio" which is arranged by Elliott, but composed by the two Peterson gentlemen. This record has a kind of smooth overall softness in composition and arrangement that to me is so attractive and typical of the late seventies style that, as I mentioned, is utterly concerned with crafting beautiful music with no cynicism, irony, technical artifice, or impediments.
Both "Unnamed Land" and the next, "All Music" are really masterpieces in this genre of american chamber fusion, like the famous Coalition Mindsweepers from osurec. Btw I'm confused about the placement of the ST Natural Life, although the date on the sleeve is 1977, it seems originally it was the first record to appear, since it predates Mike Elliott's Atrio from 1974 and seems to be a little rougher than these next 2 records. Presumably it was private pressed first, then rereleased on ASI?
I want to draw your attention to the track Trio, in the middle part of which there is an absolutely stunning vibes-flute interaction, this part is called "Migration" and is credited to bassist Will Peterson. I don't know how you can more perfectly 'describe' acoustically this image of birds in a wetland, taking flight, dipping, soaring, splashing, in a soft and beautiful landscape. And it leads so wonderfully into the springtime with the soprano sax from Robert Rockwell. (As I said before, the soprano sax and the clarinet are classic instruments for these seasons.) Pay attention as you get suddenly an ascending riff (on the sax) exactly like a bird flying away towards the end. Just stunning.
And what about the cover drawing from Berg? Well, seems to be a group of native americans or perhaps africans in shallow waters at a beach with the vision of ancestors in the sky-- esthetically great, but the concept? And the faces in the sky-- yikes!
Here's the track I mentioned, Trio:

Arran was Canada's 1382th most expensive suburb by listed median house price this month.
The $299,900 price tag on the median Arran home means that it is above the cost of most houses in the country.
In province, the most common property on the listings this month has 3 bedrooms, in this neighbourhood it's 3.
According to our stats, Arran is the neighbourhood that has the 1018th most properties available to real estate investors in Ontario.
Will prices rise across the next year in in Arran? There are a number of real estate indicators to consider.
If you are looking at investment properties in Arran, then there are fewer homes for sale than there were three months ago. This would indicate that house prices will be influencing it towards being a sellers market.
Across Canada the most common number of bedroom property being listed has 2 bedrooms, in Aug this neighbourhood's most common listing the same as the national average.
Is Arran a good investment prospect? It's never a perfect science, but the data we have given us a number of indicators.
It's always hard to tell what property prices will do over the coming months, but over the last three months the properties available for purchase in Arran have stayed pretty much the same which would tend to indicate that demand is steady.
