ABSTRACT Most research in Machine translation is about having the computers completely bear the load of translating one human language into another. This paper looks at the machine translation problem afresh and observes that there is a need to share the load between man and machine‚ distinguish ‘reliable’ knowledge from the ‘heuristics’‚ provide a spectrum of outputs to serve different strata of people‚ and finally make use of existing resources instead of reinventing the wheel. This paper describes

Simple Machine Joemarie A. Martinez 1-D CE Simple machine Simple machines make work easier by multiplying‚ reducing‚ or changing the direction of a force. The scientific formula for work is w = f x d‚ or‚ work is equal to force multiplied by distance. Simple machines cannot change the amount of work done‚ but they can reduce the effort force that is required to do the work! As you can see by this formula‚ if the effort force is reduced‚ distance is increased. These simple machines fall

After the Civil War the domination of the "political machine" over the affairs of government in the urban cities of the north became an undisputed fact of local politics.
