Generating semantic annotations for frequent patterns with context analysis
Semantics (from Greek: s¿mantiká, neuter plural of s¿mantikós) is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, such as words, phrases, signs and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotata. Linguistic semantics is the study of meaning that is used to understand human expression through language. Other forms of semantics include the semantics of programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.

An annotation is a note that is made while reading any form of text. This may be as simple as underlining or highlighting passages. Annotated bibliographies give people a source that is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. Creating these comments, usually a few sentences long, establishes a summary for and expresses the relevance of each source prior to writing. The term also has a special meaning in a number of other fields.

Context analysis
Context analysis is a method to analyze the environment in which a business operates. Environmental scanning mainly focuses on the macro environment of a business. But context analysis considers the entire environment of a business, its internal and external environment. This is an important aspect of business planning.

Semantic memory
Semantic memory refers to the memory of meanings, understandings, and other concept-based knowledge unrelated to specific experiences. The conscious recollection of factual information and general knowledge about the world is generally thought to be independent of context and personal relevance. Semantic and episodic memory together make up the category of declarative memory, which is one of the two major divisions in memory.
more from Wikipedia
Synonyms are different words with almost identical or similar meanings. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek syn ("with") and onoma ("name"). The words car and automobile are synonyms. Similarly, if we talk about a long time or an extended time, long and extended become synonyms.

In this paper a prefiltering method is considered where an all pass filter is employed at the receiver before equalization to create a minimum phase overall impulse response. In the presence of ISI, the all pass filter concentrates the maximum symbol energy in the correct sampling instances and subsequently cancel the non causal precursor ISI by replacing the samples and channel by their minimum phase equivalent. The system performance attainable with the proposed equalization is determined for transmission with channel coding. The use of all pass filtering is beneficial to the performance of a communication receiver that operates in a dispersive multipath propagation environment and thereby improves capacity. Simulation results are given, which demonstrate that the proposed approach outperform the conventional decision feedback equalizer.

Also, to my understanding, the Chinese issue is not as simple as you describe. There are experts who think that Chinese, Japanese and Korean have fewer than 2^16 characters, and that what folks wish to have encoded as separate characters were better thought of as different typefaces. The problem became a political one, and unicode was enlarged to greater than 16 bits, but characters greater than 2^16 are extensions, not a part of the core, 16-bit unicode.

Adding a Save As operation
Adding a Save As operation
We've now managed to set up a batch processing solution wherein Photoshop goes and takes an entire folder full of images and flattens them and changes the resolution and converts them to CMYK and applies some sharpening, as well. The problem is that even though we've set up the Batch command, so it goes ahead and saves all the images to a separate folder, so it doesn't save over the originals, which is great by the way, we're saving to the original file formats. That is we're saving what were formerly layered files as PSD documents.
We're saving what were formerly flat files as JPGs, and it turns out that's not what anybody wants. When you're preparing CMYK images, whether for a designer or a commercial printer or whathaveyou, what they are going to expect is flattened TIFF files. That's the industry standard anyway, and so that's what I want to deliver. That means I need to introduce an additional operation into my Convert to CMYK action. So I sti...

These are a 2-ply design with a 6.5mil top-ply and a 10mil bottom-ply. They are thick and give a hardy and satisfying resistance, but unlike a lot of 2-ply heads, they are bright and resonant but with a sharp attack and clear pitch. Much of the midrange frequency spectrum is deemphasized to enhance clarity of pitch and body. Excellent durability.

A carrying case is provided with a removable strap, such as a member, in conjunction with the connection of the carrying strap to the article of luggage.
Various types of articles of luggage, such as totes, garment bags, golf bags, and back packs are provided with removable straps to facilitate the user's carrying of the article of luggage. Such straps, which quite often extend over the shoulders of the user, will, on many occasions, be carrying a substantial weight. In order to minimize the strain of the bag on the user's shoulder, particularly when the bag may be bouncing as the user is walking, it is well known to provide a shock absorbing strain relief member, typically a length of elastic, in conjunction with the strap. Such a strain relief member has, in the past, been integrated within the shoulder strap structure. Such shoulder straps are generally removable, and could, over a period of time, become lost or worn, requiring the user to obtain a replacement shoulder strap. In such prior constructions, the replacement shoulder strap must naturally have the strain relief included therein, in order to still provide the requisite strain relief and associated comfort to the user. This naturally increases the cost of such replacement shoulder straps.
Another disadvantage of such prior constructions, where the strain relief is provided within the shoulder strap, results in the manner that such articles of luggage are sold to the consuming public. In many instances the removable shoulder strap is placed within the article of luggage, for subsequent securement after the user purchases the luggage. Thus, it will not be apparent to the potential consumer who observes the article of luggage without the removable shoulder strap, that the shoulder strap includes desirable strain relief. The present invention not only simplifies and reduces the cost of replacing the shoulder strap, but makes it readily apparent at the point-of-sale, that the article of luggage does include strain relief in conjunction with its shoulder strap securement. Further, it facilitates the substitution of different lengths of carrying straps while advantageously maintaining strain relief.
In accordance with the present invention the carrying strap, which may typically be a shoulder strap, is constructed of substantially non-stretchable material. The strain relief between the shoulder strap and article of luggage provided within the connection means carried by the article of luggage which is to be connected to the removable shoulder strap. More specifically, the shoulder strap, which is formed of substantially non-stretchable material, will include a manually operable strap connector at each of its free ends. The strap connector, which may be in the form of a normally closed spring biased hook like element, includes a manually engageable portion for opening the hook in opposition to its spring biasing. The article of luggage will include a pair of spaced connection means at strap securement locations which are positioned to receive the strap connectors when it is desired to secure the shoulder strap to the article of luggage. The connection means which is permanently secured to the article of luggage, advantageously, in accordance with the present invention, includes the strain relief member integrated therein. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connection member which is connected to the article of luggage has a closed ring at its free end to receive the shoulder strap. Elastic is interposed between the closed ring and its securement to the article of luggage. Preferably the elastic may be comprised of a plurality of superimposed layers of lengths of elastic. This advantageously increases the modulas of elasticity to enhance the amount of strain relief provided within the connector. The elastic strain relief member which is within the shoulder strap connectors on the article of luggage will therefore be readily apparent at the point-of-sale, thereby immediately advising the potential consumer of the advantageous feature provided by the present invention.
When it is desired to connect the shoulder strap to the article of luggage, the spring biased hook like elements at the ends of the shoulder straps are manually opened and slipped over the closed rings carried by the article of luggage. They are then released so as to provide a secure engagement between the ends of the shoulder strap and the rings secured to the article of luggage. The interposition of the elastic material between the ring, and the securement of its connection member to the article of luggage, will always provide strain relief, should the user wish to substitute a different carrying strap which is devoid of elastic or another strain relief construction. It should naturally be understood that other forms of connector constructions between the ends of the carrying strap and the article of luggage may be utilized in accordance with the present invention, it only being required that the strain relief be within the connector that is permanently secured to the article of luggage. Further, while the present invention is shown by way of example, in conjunction with tote, garment, and golf bags, it may be used in conjunction with other articles of luggage having removable straps, such as back packs.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a manually transportable article of luggage having a removable carrying strap, in which strain relief in conjunction with the carrying strap is provided by the strap receiving connection which is permanently secured to the article of luggage.
A further object of the present invention is to provide the strain relief by elastic material which is interposed between the permanent securement of the strap receiving connector to the article of luggage, and its free end which receives the strap.
Another object of the present invention is to provide such a manually transportable article of luggage where the strain relief is provided by a plurality of superimposed layers of elastic to provide a high modulas stretchable connection between the free ends of the connection and its securement to the article of luggage.
These as well as other objects of the present invention will become apparent upon a description of the following drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the present invention incorporated within a tote bag.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the present invention incorporated within a garment bag.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the present invention incorporated within a golf bag.
FIG. 4 is a detail of the connection of FIG. 1 between one end of the removable shoulder strap and the permanent connection member secured to the tote bag.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of the connection shown in FIG. 4, to reveal further details thereof.
FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with a tote bag.
Referring initially to FIGS. 1, 4, and 5 the tote bag 10 which may typically be constructed of canvas, leather, vinyl, or other well known materials includes a housing base 12 and hingeable cover 14 enclosed by a zipper 16 in the well known manner. A hand strap assembly 18 is provided which includes individual strap sections 17, which may be secured to the case by rivets 19, and a hand engageable member 15 which envelopes the free ends of the strap 17 when the case is in the closed condition as shown in FIG. 1.
In many instances it may be desired to carry the bag 10 over the user's shoulder, in which case a removable shoulder strap assembly 20 is provided. Shoulder strap assembly 20, in accordance with the present invention, is formed of substantially non stretch material, and may include woven fabric straps 22, whose overall length may be adjusted by buckle 23 to accommodate the requirements of the particular user. Strap assembly 20 is preferably removable so that the consumer need not have strap assembly 20 extending therefrom when it is desired to use case 10 in the hand carrying mode. In that situation the strap assembly 20 would typically be stored within the tote 10. In order to readily permit the removing and reattachment of shoulder strap 20 its free ends each include a manually operable connection member which, in the preferred embodiment shown, includes a spring biased hook like "dog leash" element 24 having a button projection 26 for the manual opening thereof. Upon the release of button 26 hook like element 24 will automatically return to the closed condition shown in FIG. 1 under the force of its biasing spring (not shown). Element 24 may typically be connected to the end 21 of strap 22 but with a D-type closed ring 28 which passes through the looped end 21 of the shoulder strap 20. The shoulder strap will also preferably include a cushioned member 29 for increased comfort when it is resting on the user's shoulder.
To connect the shoulder strap assembly 20 to the tote 10 a cooperating pair of connection members 30 are permanently secured to housing tote section 12, as by rivet 13. In accordance with the present invention, the connection member 30 includes an elastic section, which may preferably be provided by a plurality of superimposed layers of elastic 31, 32, 33, and 34, with a plurality of such individual layers serving to increase the modulas of elasticity, and hence enhance strain relief. Although four such layers are shown, it should naturally be understood that an alternative number of layers could be employed in accordance with the requirements of the particular application. Further, all such layers may be formed of a single piece of elastic material which is appropriately looped at its opposed ends. A reinforcement member 36 which may be formed of leather is interposed between the rivet 13 and its securement of layers 31-34 to the housing 12. Advantageously, in accordance with the preferred embodiment, in this invention the elastic members 31-34 are retained close to the profile of the tote case by passing through on auxiliary ring member 40 which is secured to a vertically displaced area of the housing by a looped member 42, which may typically be formed of fabric and is connected to housing by a rivet 44. A closed D ring 45 is connected to the free end of the connection member 30 for the reception of the hook like element 24 at the end of the shoulder strap when it is desired to connect the shoulder strap assembly 20 to the tote bag 10. The closed ring 45 is shown connected to the free end of the elastic strain relief member (which is preferably provided by superimposed layers 31-34) by a rivet 48 and reinforcing element 49, which may typically be formed of leather.
Thus, according to the present invention, the strain relief provided by the connection of the shoulder strap assembly 20 to the tote bag is provided by the elastic relief member 31-34. Accordingly, should the shoulder strap 20 be removed and placed within the tote 10, as typically occurs at the point-of-sale, the presence of strain relief will still be readily apparent to the potential consumer by virtue of the visual prominence of elastic layers 31-34 in the permanent securement of the strap connection assembly 30. Further, should it be desirable to replace strap assembly 20 with an alternative strap assembly, in the event strap assembly 20 becomes lost or worn, the replacement strap assembly can likewise be formed of substantially non stretch material, since the strain relief will still be provided by the permanent securement of connection members 30 to the article of luggage.
Reference is now made to FIGS. 2 and 3 which show the present invention being incorporated, respectively, within a garment carrying case 10' and golf bag 10" and in which those components corresponding to the above-discussed FIGS. 1, 4, and 5 are similarly numbered. It should be noted that the connection members 30 secured to the garment bag 10' and golf bag 10" correspond to that shown in conjunction with the tote bag 10. However, should a lesser or greater amount of strain relief be required, the elastic material, shown as superimposed layers 31-34 may be appropriately modified in accordance with the requirements of that particular article of luggage. Similarly, the shoulder straps 20' and 20" will be configured in accordance with the requirements of that particular article of luggage. However the connection member at its free ends may correspond to that showing in the prior embodiment, including spring biased hook like element 24 which engages closed ring 45 permanently secured to the article of luggage.
Reference is now made to FIG. 6 which shows a modified form of the present invention in conjunction with tote 10. The shoulder strap 20 may correspond to that shown in the embodiment of FIGS. 1, 4, and 5, and include the manually operable connection means, including a hook like element 24 at its free ends, which is intended to engage closed rings 45 carried by the tote 10. In this particular embodiment, where a lesser degree of strain relief may be required, the connection of ring 45 to the tote 10 may be simplified by comprising only a single loop of elastic 37 which is secured to the tote bag 10 by either sewing or a rivet (not shown).
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, it should naturally be understood that various modifications may be made thereto. In addition to being incorporated within a tote bag, garment bag, or golf bag, for example, the construction of the present invention may be used in various other articles of luggage, such as back packs. Accordingly, it is intended that the invention be defined by the scope of the following claims:

US Labor Department's OSHA proposes nearly $59,000 in fines against Cheshire, Conn., food distribution warehouse
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Bozzuto's Inc. for 25 alleged violations of safety standards at its Cheshire, Conn., food distribution warehouse. The company faces a total of $58,750 in proposed fines.
"These citations address a cross section of mechanical, electrical and exit access hazards that exposed workers to the dangers of electric shock, lacerations, amputation, and being caught in operating machinery or unable to swiftly exit the workplace in the event of a fire or other emergency," said Kang Yi, OSHA's acting area director in Bridgeport. "It is imperative that the company take effective action to ensure that all such conditions are corrected and do not reoccur."
OSHA's inspection found workers unable to open emergency exit doors from inside the workplace; a lack of specific procedures to lock out the power sources for compactors and other machines to prevent their unintended startup during service or maintenance; unguarded grinder, table saw, compactor and other machinery; missing guardrails; no workplace hazard assessment to determine what types of personal protective equipment workers would need; a deficient respiratory protection program; unlabeled lifting slings; improperly stored oxygen cylinders; and several electrical hazards.
These conditions have resulted in OSHA issuing the company 20 serious citations with $55,750 in proposed fines. OSHA issues serious citations when death or serious physical harm is likely to result from hazards about which the employer knew or should have known. The company also

Thank you for this useful, clear information. I love Mercury. Great Guy!! :-)
When Mercury is in retrograde, its influence depends on which of the 12 zodiac signs the planet is in when it goes retrograde. Below is a brief look at what to expect.
There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen.
–Hugh Prather, American writer (b. 1938)
Click here if you're looking for Mercury Retrograde Dates.
IN ARIES: Expect to be frustrated and frazzled. Assertive, impulsive Aries wants to move ahead, and all of the energy is going backward. Watch what you say and how you say it. Pay attention to what people say to you; you might be pleasantly surprised.
IN TAURUS: Take time to formulate your thoughts. Taurus, an unhurried sign, slows down the mental processes. He also governs banking, so delay money matters. Review financial matters, and position yourself for growth.
IN GEMINI: Because Gemini rules communications, be prepared for miscommunications when Mercury is in this sign. Expect lots of phone calls or none, and lost or misplaced mail. You may not articulate clearly, and gossip abounds. Old friends may reconnect.
IN CANCER: Expect annoyances at home with baking, gardening, and household duties under domesticated Cancer. Complete repair projects that weren't finished or done correctly.
IN LEO: Avoid speculative investments. It is not a good time to buy and sell or do any trading. Instead, analyze your investment portfolio. Use your know-how and advisory skills to help friends and associates.
IN VIRGO: Challenging situations arise, especially in the workplace. Expect product delays and equipment breakdowns, as well as crankiness among coworkers under finicky, detail-oriented Virgo. Double-check your work before you call it finished.
IN LIBRA: Accept your physical attributes; do not have a makeover. Indecision reigns, so limit purchases—or risk returning them. Libra, representing beauty, grace, charm, and diplomacy, is out of balance. Refresh, relax, and rejuvenate.
IN SCORPIO: Emotions rule—not common sense—so beware. Avoid affairs of the heart. Passionate Scorpio is also secretive, and your secrets may seep out. Keep them in a diary.
IN SAGITTARIUS: It is not a time to travel, so reschedule or expect delays, lines, and lost directions. Instead, take care of local affairs. Patience and a sense of humor are needed.
IN CAPRICORN: Avoid buying, selling, or renting real estate un der Capricorn, the sign that governs property matters. Expect problems with paperwork, packing, and movers. Reunite with family or vacation at home.
IN AQUARIUS: With Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, the sign that governs relationships, friendships are put at risk. Petty squabbles, misunderstandings, and miscommunications abound. Know who your friends are.
IN PISCES: Foggy thinking, daydreams, and escapism are the norm; day-to-day realities confound otherwise clear heads when Mercury, the planet that rules logic, is in Pisces, which governs illusion. Practice creative pursuits—writing, dancing, photography, film, or painting.
For our Astrology Moon's Sign Calendar, pick up a copy of The Old Farmer's Almanac or you can just download the digital chart here.
Mercury comes from the Latin word merx, or mercator, which means merchant. Mercury is the name given by the ancient Romans to the Greek mythological god Hermes.
Mercury is depicted as a male figure having winged sandals and a winged hat, indicating the ability to travel quickly. He was the official messenger of the ancient gods and goddesses and, as such, governed communications.
In 1782, Mercury became the first symbol of the United States' fledgling postal service. Today, he is the recognized as an icon of an international floral delivery service as well as the official symbol of the postal service of Greece.
In astrology, all of the planet's attributes are rooted in ancient Greek and Roman mythology. In that context, Mercury is the god of travelers, literature, poetry, merchants, and thieves. He is cunning and clever and witty at a moment's notice. But he is also recognized as a trickster and thief, prone to misbehavior.
Thank you for this useful, clear information. I love Mercury. Great Guy!! :-)
What if a large automobile purchase was made during retrograde. It's true indeed the problems that can arise, and have risen with this purchase. What's done is done, but is there anything I can do to put an end to all the issues? I will definitely pay closer attention to astrology in the future.
I made the same mistake, and I can tell you from experience that selling, trading in, or otherwise ridding yourself of the vehicle is in the best interest of all involved. I did none of the above and after pouring money into the vehicle for years, its engine blew. Leaving my family and I without a car for over a year. Dont do anything during a retrograde other than rest review relax, etc and get rid of that car as soon as you can, but definitely not during another retrograde or you will bring more trouble, wait and when mercury goes direct, I wait a few more days after to be sure, then sell or trade or whatever you have to do, don't wait until it's too late
I am trying to get a construction loan on a house. I was turned down, even though i have all the $ to pay for a gigantic down payment, will own the 2 lots house to be put on, outright, etc., and house will be TOTALLY PAID IN FULL w/in 4 years.

I have a new construction loan personnel that is trying to help me get the loan. Should i wait until after Oct. 9 to send in the NEW loan paperwork???
I am Aries, born April 8, 54

To commemorate the milestone, Ettinger will be joined by Hormel executives and guests of the company along with "Sir Can-A-Lot," its first corporate mascot.
"We are ringing The Closing Bell today in recognition of the longevity of this beloved brand," Ettinger said, "as well the continued growth and success of Hormel Foods."
According to Hormel, more than 7 billion cans of Spam have been produced and distributed globally, since its introduction in 1937. Most of the product is produced at the company's flagship plant in Austin.
On the heels of this year's celebration, Hormel looks forward to 2013, when it will commemorate the 50th anniversary of its Hormel Cure 81 ham, Ettinger acknowledged in a press release.
"These brands are perfect examples of innovation leading to great success, and they are just as relevant today as they were when they were first introduced," he said. "Hormel Foods is committed to driving innovation."

A NEW government-backed website is promising to be a one-stop shop to help people buy and sell antiques legally.
Set up and run by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), www.culturalpropertyadvice.gov.uk aims to provide vital information on collecting, buying and selling art, antiques and antiquities legitimately and with confidence.
The website sets out to support private collectors, trade organisations and individuals working in public collections like museums, libraries and archives. Information covers exporting and importing cultural objects; current legislation; news on stolen and illicitly traded objects; and a variety of checklists and factsheets.
Among the useful information listed is the contact details of many of the trade and auctioneer associations, as well as links to the main databases for stolen art and antiques.
Culture Minister David Lammy said: "Public interest in buying and selling art and antiques is on a high at the moment. But the 'dos and don'ts' of the trade can be confusing to the novice and the veteran alike. This site brings all the best advice together on every aspect of it, and I warmly recommend it to everyone involved in this fascinating and rewarding business."
The website has won the endorsement of both LAPADA and the Antiquarian Booksellers Association. LAPADA chief executive Sarah Percy-Davis said that the association "welcomes any site that helps both dealers and members of the public to understand the law regarding the import and export of works of art". And ABA director John Critchley said it would be "an excellent guide for the trade, the staff of large collections and the general public alike".
