Is prostate cancer serious?

THE SEMANTIC WEB

In the current Web, Web pages are intended for human consumption. The content is encoded in HTML which provides manly formatting information and makes it difficult for machines to access the semantics of the content. Natural language processing would be needed to do so. To overcome this limitation the SemanticWeb aims to make theWeb’s content machine-processable. Tim Berners-Lee et al. define the Semantic Web as an extension of the Web, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation [2].

Since the Semantic Web provides machine-processable information based on a formal semantics, data can be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries [11]. Therefore, two applications that support the same ontology are able to exchange data even if they were not meant to interoperate in the first place.

This guide will help you find a grasscycling mower that’s right for you. For up-to-date ratings of mulch-mower performance, consult the most recent June issue of Consumer Reports, available at your local library.

Push Mowers
Not only are push mowers quiet, non-polluting and inexpensive, they do a good job of grasscycling. One disadvantage is that they can’t chop and blow the clippings down into the turf like a power mulching mower. But you can always rake up the areas where clippings might be tracked into the house. Grass clippings make great compost and mulch.

Push mowers are sold in most local hardware stores, as well as big department and discount stores. Quality of construction varies with price, so comparison shop. Test the handle for stiffness, strong attachment to the mower, and comfortable hand grips. Compare the ease of height adjustment, and look for smooth, sharp blade edges. Higher priced mowers often have six blades rather than five, to cut more smoothly.

In chess, promotion occurs when a pawn reaches the eighth square. At that point, your opponent is challenged because this simple pawn takes on all the powers of a Queen—the deadliest piece on the board. Of course, the pawn may be promoted to bishop, rook, or any other piece but why? This only clues the other player in to your secret plans. That being said, however, promotions to knight can often be strategically useful depending on the situation.

Let’s not get too lost in metaphor. Suffice to say, the circuitous game of promoting one’s blog in the blogosphere (without the proper armament) can often seem as difficult and unrewarding as a daylong chess match that ends in a draw. If you play your game right, however, that pawn can hit the big time. Ideally, the simple act of blogging in and of itself would attract enough traffic to please the author but there are cases in which more is better.
