Empowering Young Learners with Civic Agency!
According to an NCSS Position Statement, powerful teaching and learning should build a child's sense of "civic efficacy," one of two major goals, along with "building social understanding."1 While "efficacy" involves one's belief in one's capacity to change things for the better, a related term—"civic agency"—takes into account the entire socio-cultural scene that supports the possibilities of having a voice and that the voice matters. In and out of schools, a child who has civic agency knows that her negotiations within the public sphere can effect change. Civic agency entails youth taking a stance on issues that matter to them.
In this issue, you will learn about the inspiring practices occurring around the country that position and support children as civic agents. It's worth noting that three of these articles arise from collaborations between a school and a teaching college or nonprofit organization, as described in various sidebars.
Why is it important to frame children as civic agents? Doing so steers us back to original purpose of the U.S. public school: to create participatory citizens engaged in democracy. The early years in school can serve as a springboard for an engaged civic life. As a former elementary school teacher who now partners with an elementary school in my work as a teacher-educator, I have seen how children can investigate social issues and assume civic agency. When an adult takes their concerns seriously, children often rise to the occasion.
The articles in this issue offer proof that children can be empathic, critical, and motivated citizens. Developing children's sense of agency goes beyond fostering a "skill" by creating the conditions in which action is possible. As these educators show, children's agency may start with a class conversation, a field trip to a grocery store, or a map of the school neighborhood—and then develop into academic investigations into history, conversations with adults in the community, and inquiries on why "audience" matters.
In her article "Children as Civic Agents during the Civil Rights Movement," Kristy A. Brugar offers an historical look at children taking action on the front lines of the civil rights movement during the 1960s. She presents innovative ways to use quality children's nonfiction in the elementary classroom.
In their article, "Action Civics in Fourth Grade: Tackling School- and Community-based Issues," Peter Cipparone and Allison K. Cohen use ideas from an action civics program, Generation Citizen. His students map their community and identify decision makers. The class decides to tackle two issues, one in the school and one in the neighborhood.
In "Civics in the Grocery Store: A Field Trip of Awareness and Agency," Erin Adams asks children to critically examine the role of grocery store from a variety of perspectives. Following her article, the activities in the Pullout, "Exploring the Grocery Store," engage students in skills of interviewing and mapping to help them exercise their rights and responsibilities as consumers in a grocery store.
In "Who Can Fix This? The Concept of "Audience" and First Graders' Civic Agency," Katherina A. Payne examines the importance of framing children's message to an audience. As children learn to solve problems that they have experienced, they also learn that the impact of their message depends on someone on the other end being motivated to listen.
In "I Am Engaged: Action Civics in the Classroom," Brooke Blevins and Karon LeCompte describe "four phases" of implementing the Action Civics model that puts students at the heart of civic action. The authors provide examples of young people engaged in a cycle of identifying a problem that they care about, research, action, and reflection.
The article "Developing Civic Agents by Framing Curriculum with Children's Concerns" by Whitney Douglas, Sara Fry, Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, and Angela Housley takes us into a fourth grade classroom where students learn that their own disagreements can be topics for reflection and study, as well as an inspiration for new student-created resources which other students might find useful.
These articles encourage us to consider:
How do you make space and time for students' spontaneous (yet sometimes predictable) social concerns and shape them into civic inquiry?
How do you create experiences and structures that facilitate historical knowledge of civic engagement?
How do you foster the knowledge of empowered and informed participation pathways at the national, state, local, school, and classroom levels?
How can we position young students, who are often on the margins, in the center of civic action?
Have your students ever initiated civic change outside the walls of the school?
How do you, as a teacher, model responsible civic engagement?
I invite you to contribute your ideas to continue this conversation online at NCSS Connected, connected.socialstudies.org/home. We look forward to YOUR voice and engagement!

Call for Manuscripts for Social Studies and the Young Learner
If you are an enthusiastic elementary teacher or teacher educator with great ideas that you have implemented in the classroom, we invite you to share your work.
Below are descriptions of themes for some of the upcoming issues, but we also welcome pieces that do not fit these particular themes.
Tackling Challenging Topics
Societal changes and difficult events happen in the adult world, but they permeate children's consciousness, as well. How do you address topics that are challenging for you and your students? We are seeking articles, lessons, activities and book reviews that reveal how you and your students grapple with tough, perhaps controversial, issues.
Submission Deadline: June 15, 2014
Issue: November/December 2014
What's Your Best Lesson?
We have all taught lessons revolving around social studies content and concepts in which our students were firing on all cylinders. What was that lesson? What materials and activities sparked high levels of interest and critical thinking from your students? What made the lesson so successful? We are seeking articles that detail the instructional approaches, activities, and assessments of your thoughtful and engaging social studies lesson.
Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014
Issue: January/February, 2015
Children as Civic Agents
How do we, as teachers, get kids to develop the habits of mind and skills to be thoughtful, participating citizens? Share your activities and lessons that nurture children to become civic agents, rather than passive recipients of adult direction. Include examples of student writing, art, and action. The idea of civic agency can be seen in the ways that young people, past and present, take action and make positive change in their local (classroom, school, community) or global spheres. We are seeking articles, lessons, and reviews of books (especially nonfiction) that detail how you and your students engage in civic action. Send submissions to Stephanie Serriere, guest editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Submission Deadline: November 15, 2014
Issue: March/April 2015
For each issue, we would like to include a book review that may or may not be related to the theme. Have you recently read a piece of children's literature or a book written for teachers that you would like to review? Have you implemented any of the NCSS Notable Books into your curriculum? Tell us about it!
Please contact the co-editors at email@example.com if you have any questions or ideas you would like to share.

Tips for Authors
Who May Submit an Article?
Anybody may submit an article to Social Studies and the
Young Learner. The editors especially look
for manuscripts co-authored by classroom teachers and professors, or authored
by K-5 classroom teachers alone.
What are Good Topics?
Articles in Social Studies and the Young Learner show how social
studies (history, geography, civics, economics, anthropology, etc.) is taught
in the pre-K-6 classroom. The lead article often provides background on the
theme for that issue. A children's literature piece describes how to use
quality books in the classroom. A pullout usually includes a lesson with
See the "Invite" tab to see themes of upcoming issues of SSYL (but you may also write on a topic that does not fit a theme).
How Will My Paper Be Judged?
This checklist shows the features that editors and reviewers will be watching for. Read your own paper against this checklist.
- I have described the basic setting (grade level, time required to teach each activity, materials and resources needed)
- The social studies content is strong (students learn history, civics, geography, economics, or anthropology, etc.) See the themes I-X in
Expectations of Excellence: Curriculum Standards for Social Studies
- I have included examples of classroom experience (what students said, how they responded, and pedagogical pitfalls that arose and how to avoid them)
- I have included examples of young students' work (writing, art, quotes, photos of students in action)
- Other teachers could use these ideas and methods (Can this lesson or activity be applied to other classrooms, in other states, with a low budget, and with a reasonable commitment of time and
- There is a clear assessment of student learning. (How is student learning measured at end of the lesson? Are
discussion questions or test questions included?)
- I have linked the subject matter in my paper to state and national content standards and to the required curriculum of my school for this grade level.
- I have avoided using the passive voice.
Right: The teacher corrects and grades the papers. Wrong: Papers are corrected and graded by the teacher.
- I follow the the Chicago style handbook for notes, and do not use Endnote or Reference Manager programs.
- My notes follow this style-
BOOKS: Alfie Kohn, What to Look For in a Classroom (San Francisco, CA: Josey-Bass, 1998), 45.
ARTICLES: Bruce E. Larson, "The Makah: Exploring Public Issues During a Structured Classroom Discussion,"
Social Studies and the Young Learner 10, no. 1 (September/October 1997): 10-13.
WEBSITES: "Creating the United States," (Library of Congress), myloc.gov/exhibitions/creatingtheus.
- When citing online resources, I recommend specific, student-friendly websites, avoiding Wikipedia and Google.
- I kept my reading audience in mind. (Will classroom teachers, who are the primary audience of SSYL, eagerly read this from start to finish? Will they find it useful to their actual practice?)
Ask a colleague to read your paper and check it for grammar, organization, and writing style.
Who, When, and How?
Be sure to follow the basic advice found at the "Guide" tab to Social Studies and the Young
Learner when you format text, type references, shoot photographs, write a cover letter,
and submit your manuscript.

Israel is one of the United States strongest allies in the Middle East. The British National Association of Teachers in Furtherance of Higher Education's (NATFHE) resolution is highly objectionable in the face of the shared democratic history of the U.S., England, and Israel. Such boycotts undermine academic freedom and open exchange and completely disregard the courageous strides towards peace that Israel has made, including the difficult Gaza withdrawal and recognition of a two-state solution. Congressman Pence and I, in the strongest terms, want to prevent further attack of Israel via its academia institutions and we object to any comparison to that of an apartheid regime. This latest movement by NATFHE furthers existing tensions already present between Israelis and Palestinians. NATFHE's resolution will do nothing but intensify and continue discriminatory measures within the academic world in which the traditional open dialogue between colleagues has been compromised.

Am i the only one who worries about what my baby's hair? I mean I am mixed... but i have white girl hair. Anyone else have dreams about babies with unmanagable hair? Or hopes that their childrens hair will be very diffrent then their own... I accually feel both ways.
Hi Ladies,
These are understandable concerns! I'm a cosmetologist (8 years) and have mixed kids myself. I'll tell you this much: the caucasian genes will help straighten out the kinks! lol. My ex-husband (and second child's father) was 100% caucasian and my daughter Madison's curls are a lot looser and easier to handle than my oldest daughter whose Dad is Dominican. The Latino genes in her made her curls a lot tighter, but LORD, is it ever full and amazingly luscious and beautiful! Maddy's are a bit flatter and floppier.
I can tell you this, there are amazing detanglers out there that will help you once your angel's hair starts getting a bit more unruly. With my oldest, Lani, when she turned 4 her hair started getting so thick, I had to always put her in the tub and wet her hair down in order to style it. With my youngest, a spray bottle (water) and some hair moisturizer or leave-in worked perfectly.
My most favorite hair product that I use on both of them (I wouldn't recommend on a baby, but certainly after the 1st year) is made by Cantu:
Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream
16 fl oz (473 ml). You can find it at Walgreens for like $5.99 and most beauty supply stores. LADIES, it does wonders and works so well, I put a dollop in my girls' hair after their bath/shower once I towel dry their locks. It keeps it moist and easy to manage as I detangle and style. Their hair is SUPERSOFT once it dries and it smells DIVINE! Both my girls are models and whenever I take them on castings, the clients always want to see them with their hair fully out and curly and afro-y. It can get annoying, but once I found this cream, it made it a lot easier. It helped to define their curls too, but it doesn't weigh it down. I originally bought it for myself and now each of our bathrooms have a jar! It's awesome, trust me!
I love indulging my girls (when I can afford it) in Carol's Daughters products and we even used Miss. Jessie's Curl Puddin' a few times, I just could never bring myself to spend $60 on a jar of it!
So don't stress, there are lots of great products you can find and use. Oh, you're definitely going to need a wide tooth comb, almost like a shower comb- as their hair gets longer/fuller. Just approach it confidently and you'll see you can have lots of fun styling your angels' hair without ouchies! Hope this helped, I'm a bit hungry at the moment and am a bit skittish so I didn't structure this post like I normally would, if any of you have any questions or want to see pics of my girls individually, just hit me up!

Well I am indian (from india) and my husband is black and i have straight black hair while he has super duper curly hair. I just gave birth to our beautiful daughter june 4th and she came out with straight black hair like me. My husband says she looks indian lol I think that things will change as she gets older though because her hair looks curly when its wet! She's very light in complexion, while DH and I are both same tones. I'll add some pix!
Wife to my best friend and mommy to my two beautiful daughters 15 months apart!
wow. that is really helpful! she looks alot like you! ok so maybe i will start day dreaming of my daughter having lighter skin and manageable hair.
My daughter's hair was super soft and very loose curls until she was about two. (She's half black half white) The hard thing is it is a total mix between the two hair types. If you try using "white" hair products, her hair is completely frizzy and looks a mess. If you use any "black" hair products, even a small dot, it over powers her hair, weighs it down and makes it look disgusting! My husband is an only child and his mom never did any one's hair and the only products she knows about made my daughter's hair disgusting. Unfortunately, taking her to a salon with people who know how to do black hair never worked, because they were always super shitty towards us and wouldn't help. So I ended up finding a few products through moms that I met who also had bi racial children with similar hair. My two favorites are Mixed Chicks and Blended Beauty products. I haven't found a store to buy them in but you can order them both online. I use a spray bottle with water to wet her hair and then do the conditioner. Mixed Chicks I didn't use until around 3-4 years old. Blended Beauty has adult and Child hair lines, and you pick your curl type and there are different products for each curl type. I definitely recommend Blended Beauty for the younger ones.
I am Vietnamese and the father is black. I am worried that the baby will have his hair. I am hoping that the baby will have my hair which is straight. But either way, I am prepared as long as the baby is healthy. But this forum is very informative of what to expect regarding hair products. Thanks ladies!
You never know what kind of hair your child is going to come out with when you have mixed babies. I know a few half white/black people with kinky hair who you would never think had a drop of white blood in them. There is no need to be worried if you have straight hair and your child comes out with "black" hair. The key to this type of hair, which is nothing more than tightly curled hair is using conditioner. I am black with multiracial background and many, many different hair types within my own family. You have to keep the hair moisterized. I have two children with "black" hair and my youngest has straight hair like his father who is guatemalan. We all use the same hair products. The only thing my husband and youngest don't use is conditioner. They don't need it. Garnier is one of my favorite brands and we use the sleek and shine leave in conditioner as a daily moisterizer. In the winter, when our hair becomes a little drier, I use a light moisterizer as needed such as Motions hair lotion. I put it in our hair while it is wet before styling.
I'm mixed myself, and my husband is black. I remember growing up, it was a source of distress for me because NO ONE could do my hair...not a black stylist or a white stylist. Black people said my hair was too silky and white people didn't know how to manage the curl. Luckily, I think times have changed and everyone should be learning how to do a proper blow out in cosmetology school. At home, to the inexperienced mothers, please learn. It really hurt my self-esteem for a while that I couldn't manage my hair. Now I love my hair...it's soft, silky and it can be straight or curly...my choice. My daughter has fine hair like me, but it's curlier (because of my husband). She wears her hair straight too...she's 12 this month. Anyway, my point is, please be kind to your daughters and keep their hair well kept. She'll thank you for it later, LOL.
If anyone has any other questions as to how to raise a mixed child, I think my parents did a great job of raising me to love both sides of myself so I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
My background - pregnant with number 4. I have a 14 yr old, 12 yr old and 2 yr old. I'm 34 this month, biracial and I go to school and model. I LOVE being mixed! I say God made mixed children so beautiful because he was so happy to see the races come together, LOL!
Btw, atleast with my hair, I don't put any product in it. I just use a really good shampoo and conditioner and a REALLY good flat iron. I know, you ladies won't need one of those for a Long time, LOL. Anyway, my hair was straight when I was born too, as were all of my kids. 9.9 times out of 10, mixed babies hair eventually curles up within a year.
The reason I don't put any product in my hair is that, after going to the salon and seeing them blow it out and flat iron it with no product, and walking out of there with it blowing in the wind, I realized my daughters and my hair is much shinier, soft and airy with no product weighing it down. There are some products I like, but I can't remember the names of them right now.
My Hair:
Good luck!

- Eco-Friendly
The Nelli fruit is sought-after by Ayurvedic practitioners as it contains essential nutrients, which are considered to prevent hair fall and premature greying. Its extract is regarded as an agent, which stimulates hair growth, leaving it soft, silky and nourished from within.

No longer works Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Snap Links Plus no longer works with FireFox 25.0I tried it on several sites and no go.I uninstalled it, cleared everything then tried reinstalling it and it still will not work.Too bad because it was really a great add-on.I should add that both Snap Links Plus and Snap Links Plus beta stopped working for me.
Ok..another edit:
I re-installed Snap Links Plus 2.3.4b3 again and now it works.
STILL..this shouldn't be happening when FF is updated so I changed my rating to a five star again only because it works now. :)
Unfortunately I'm a bit behind the ball on getting a release out that works with the new Firefox, for the time being the current beta 4 works with FF 25+, which can be gotten here:

Good basic costume. Bought this for my 6 month old son. 6-12 month size fit well, he is average size. The costume was missing the cape. I called Spirit and they shipped me a whole new costume free of charge to ensure I received it before Halloween. I will definitely purchase our Halloween costumes…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This costume was a great idea for my 9 month old baby but the Velcro is extremely rough and rubbed on the back of his neck and inside of his legs. He hated wearing it and to put it on it was hard to avoid the Velcro from scratching him. We ended up buying another costume and he wore that instead...…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Very cute costume! I love that's its easy to put on and it keeps your child warm. It's worth every penny.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This costume fit really well. It was better quality than the $30 costume I bought my other child. It works great for small kids because the legs and back come undone making it really easy to slip on. The material was very thick too.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I bought this for our 1year old (who wears 18mos) and it fit him just fine it has velcro on the inner legs for easy on easy off. It was a little short on his legs but not much. Super excited to take my Batman and Robin Trick-or-treating this year.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I think this costume is great , its put together well, nothing sharp or pointy to harm your little one , it goes on and comes off easy , light enought to not get to hot in, but it is all longsleeve so your child wont get cold in it as well . its a perfect outfit , especially when his big brother is…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Take this with a grain of salt, but I think that the linework doesn't quite fit with the background clouds and effects. Unless that was what you were going for. Also the lighting on the balloons seems a bit oddly placed.

I agree, maybe try a small bit of shadow on bits of the linework, might make it blend in better.
does look nice though.

Football: Ifab rejects Uefa request to change triple punishment
Published on Mar 1, 2014 11:29 PM
ZURICH (REUTERS) - A request from Uefa to change the so-called triple punishment rule has been rejected by football's law-making body, while a proposal to study the use of video technology also got short shrift.
The International Football Association Board (Ifab) said on Saturday that it was concerned that changing the controversial rule would re-open the door for goalkeepers to commit cynical fouls to prevent clear scoring opportunities.
"We don't want to flip back to where we were before where some goalkeepers knew that if they could not be sent off, they would simply take out the attacker," board member Stewart Regan told reporters.
The so-called triple punishment happens when a defender or goalkeeper denies an opposing forward a clear scoring opportunity in the penalty area.

A machine translation system for translating inputted sentences using a translation dictionary, defined grammatical rules and tree conversion rules. The translation system is capable of producing partial translation when the entire sentence cannot be translated as a whole. Each translated portion is representative of an analyzed partial tree of the complete inputted sentence.
1. An electronic translation system for producing a partial or complete translation from a source language to a selected target language, comprising:
input means for inputting a collection of source words for translation;
memory means in electronic communication with said input means for storing said collection of source words;
syntax table means for storing a defined set of grammatical rules;
syntax analyzing means for determining a syntax tree structure from said collection of source words using said grammatical rules stored in said syntax table;
detecting means responsive to said syntax analyzing means for detecting whether a syntax tree structure can be produced from said collection of source words; and
means responsive to said detecting means for determining whether said collection of source words can be divisionally analyzed and for producing a partial tree structure from those source words which collectively correspond to the grammatical rules stored in said syntax table means.
2. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 1, further comprising:
dictionary means for storing translation data for individual words of said source language; and
translation analysis means for identifying translation data stored in said dictionary means with the source words contained in said collection of source words.
3. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 2, further comprising:
language conversion means for converting a syntax tree structure produced by said syntax analyzing means and said detecting means from said language to said target language.
4. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 3, further comprising:
target language generating means responsive to said translation analysis means for generating a word from said target language corresponding to each source word contained in said collection of source words.
5. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 4, further comprising:
output means in communication with said language conversion means and said target generating means for outputting translated and untranslated words from said collection of source words.
6. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 5, wherein said output means is a display means.
7. An electronic translation system as recited in claim 5, further comprising:
translation buffer means for storing translated source words produced by said language conversion means and said target language generating means and for storing untranslated source words from said collection of source words.
8. A method for producing a complete or partial translation of a collection of source words from a source language to a target language using a translation dictionary and a defined set of grammatical rules, the steps comprising:
analyzing said collection of source words using said grammatical rules for determining a syntax tree structure reflective of the correlation between said collection of source words and said grammatical rules;
translating said collection using the syntax tree structure from said source language to said target language;
detecting whether one or more source words in said collection are not contained in said translation dictionary;
determining whether said collection of source words can be analyzed to produce a partial syntax tree structure from said collection excluding any source word not detected in said translation dictionary; and
producing a partial translation from said source words correlated to said translation dictionary and said defined set of grammatical rules.
The present invention generally relates to a machine translation system and, more particularly, to a translating device which is so arranged as to translate an analyzed partial tree among inputted source words where the totality of inputted source words cannot be analyzed as a whole.
In prior art translation systems, syntax has been analyzed in a backtrack system employing context free grammar rules.
The backtrack system referred to above is such that when a plurality of possibilities for the analysis of syntax exist, those possibilities are tried one by one. If the analysis stalls at some point, the system returns to a point in the source words where another possibility is found for the analysis.
According to the above-described system for syntax analysis, the analyzing process is repeatedly performed until all of the inputted source words are arranged into one phrasal structure by using the context free grammar conversion rules.
Alternatively, in some cases, one translated phrasal structure cannot be achieved because of: (a) an error in an original text; (b) a lack of necessary grammatical rules; or a delay in analysis beyond a prearranged time resulting in failure of the analysis.
Once the analysis ends in failure in the prior art translation system, an output to the subsequent converting process and the generating process cannot be obtained. Accordingly, the translation cannot be achieved at all even though in actuality the translation has been partially effected.
Accordingly, an essential object of the present invention is to provide an improved translating device capable of producing a partial translation of an inputted sentence so that a partial tree analyzed for every part of the inputted source words can be outputted to the converting and the generating processes in the case where the inputted source words cannot be analyzed as a whole.
In accomplishing the above-described object, a translating device of the present invention is provided with a central processing unit (CPU) for performing translations, a main memory for storing programs, a CRT display unit for displaying a translated sentence, a keyboard for inputting an original text into the device, and a translation module for storing data necessary for the translating process.
The translation module includes a table means containing a translation dictionary, grammatical rules and tree structure converting rules. Moreover, the translation module stores data at each level of the translating process.
Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating a preferred embodiment of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings which are given by illustration only and thus are not limitative of the present invention; and wherein
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a translating device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the construction of a translation module in the translating device of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3a and b are a flow-chart of an operation of the translating device of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 4(a)-4(c) are explanatory diagrams of an automatic divisional translation as preformed by the translating device of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 5 and 6 are respective views of a display showing an output of a translated sentence as produced by the translating device of FIG. 1.
Referring to a block diagram of FIG. 1, a translating device according to the present invention is provided with a CPU 1 for controlling the translating process, a main memory 2 for storing programs or the like for use by the CPU 1, a CRT display unit 3 for displaying a translated sentence, a keyboard 4 for inputting an original untranslated sentence into the device and a translation module 5 for storing necessary data for the translation.
The above-described translation module 5 includes a table 6 containing a translation dictionary, grammatical rules and tree structure conversion rules. Moreover, the translation module 5 stores data at each level of the analysis during the translating process.
Generally, the machine translation is performed by using a pivot method or transfer method in terms of the analyzing level. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the translation is conducted at least to the level of the dictionary look-up morpheme analyzing process and the syntax analyzing process.
The dictionary look-up morpheme analysis above refers to referencing source words in the translation dictionary to obtain grammatical information such as its part of speech and other translated words or equivalents with respect to each of the source words, and also analyzing the tense, person and number, of the source words in the inputted sentence. Conversely the aforementioned syntax analysis determining the syntax of the sentence including the correlation between the sources words.
The structure of the translation module 5 is schematically shown in the diagram of FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 2, the translation module 5 includes a dictionary look-up morpheme analyzing function into which the source words are inputted, a syntax analyzing function, a language converting function and a target language generating function.
FIG. 3 is a flow-chart representing the operation of the translation device of the present invention.
It is to be noted here that according to the present embodiment, only the grammatical rules shown in the Syntax Table below are stored in the table 6.
(a) a sentence→A declarative sentence+the end of the sentence
(b) a declarative sentence→a declarative sentence+a subordinate clause
(c) a declarative sentence→a declarative sentence+a conjunction+a declarative sentence
(d) a declarative sentence→a noun phrase+a verb phrase
(e) a sentence→a noun phrase+the end of the sentence
(f) a noun phrase→a noun
(g) a noun phrase→a pronoun
(h) a verb phrase→a verb+a noun phrase
(i) a verb phrase→a verb
Grammatical rule (a) states that a sentence consists of a declarative sentence and the end of the sentence.
Grammatical rule (b) states that a declarative sentence is composed of a declarative sentence and a subordinate clause.
Grammatical rule (c) states that a declarative sentence is composed of a declarative sentence, a conjunction and a declarative sentence.
Grammatical rule (d) indicates that a declarative sentence consists of a noun phrase and a verb phrase.
Grammatical rule (e) indicates that a sentence is composed of a noun phrase and the end of the sentence.
Grammatical rule (f) indicates that a noun phrase is made of a noun.
Grammatical rule (g) requires that a noun phrase be a pronoun.
Grammatical rule (h) requires that a verb phrase consists of a verb and a noun phrase.
Grammatical rule (i) requires that a verb phrase consists of a verb.
For example, supposing that both (A) "I need it." and (B) "I need it John." are separately inputted.
In the translation of (A), the logic flow goes from step S1, where the dictionary look-up morpheme analysis is performed, to various steps for the syntax analysis. The steps representing the syntax analysis function are encircled in FIG. 3(A) by a dashed line. In steps S5 and S8 the grammatical rules shown in the above Syntax Table are applied to grow the syntax analysis tree, thereby to repeat the backtracking.
As a result, the structure of a phrase is produced as shown in FIG. 4(a). Then, in response to the completion of syntax analysis up to the end of the sentence, the logic flow proceeds from step S8 to step S9. The analysis ends in succession and the syntax analysis is completed.
After the syntax analysis, the converting process and the generating process are performed, respectively, represented in step S12 and step S14. Finally, a translated sentence is outputted for display by the display unit. The content of the display is shown in FIG. 5.
In the second example, once (B) is inputted, the logic flow proceeds to the syntax analysis, after completing the dictionary look-up morpheme analyzing process in step S1, as described earlier.
The position of each word in the inputted sentence is analyzed in order from the beginning word of the sentence. Therefore, with respect to the inputted sentence (B), the word "I" is allocated at word position 1, the word "need" at 2, the word "it" at 3, the word "," at 4, the word "John" at 5 and the word "." at 6, respectively.
The syntax analysis sequentially performed in accordance with the word position in step S2.
An automatic divisional flag is turned on when the syntax analysis is determined to be a failure. When the syntax analysis is started, the flag is cleared, and therefore the flag is in an off state at the beginning. Accordingly, the logic flow proceeds from step S3 to S5 to S6 where the structure of a phrase as show in FIG. 4(b) is produced.
Once the structure of the phrase shown in FIG. 4(b) is produced, since it is decided in step S5 that the inputted sentence is divisionaly translatable, the logic flow runs from step S5 to step S6 and further to step S7, such that the word position 1 for the word "I" is stored.
After step S7 is finished, the logic flow goes to step S8; since the remaining unprocessed words, "need it John.", are detected in step S8, the grammatical rules can still be applied in step S8 and the logic flow returns to step S5.
Consequently, by the grammatical rules (h) and (d), the phrasal structure as shown in FIG. 4(c) is obtained.
Thereafter, the logic flow proceeds from step S5 to step S7 in the same manner as described earlier, thereby to advance the word position to 3, that completes the phrase "I need it".
Although the logic flow again proceeds from step S7 to step S8, it is judged in step s8 that no grammatical rules are applicable to the inputted sentence, and accordingly, the logic flow goes to step S9.
In step S9, it is determined that the analysis is a failure because there are words ", John." are not processed. Thus, the logic flow moves from step S9 to step S11 where the automatic divisional flag is turned on.
Then the flow is returned back to the start of the syntax analysis.
All of the trees of the phrasal structure are finished, with the logic flow moving to step S4 by the positive judgement in step S3. In step S4, the end of the sentence is inserted next to the word position 3 of the inputted sentence in the buffer, such that "I need it." is analyzed, thereby to obtain the structure of the phrase shown in FIG. 4(a).
Thereafter, the flow passes from the syntax analyzing process through the conversion process in step S12 and the generation process in step S14 to step S15. Since the automatic divisional flag is turned on in step S15, the flow moves to step S16 where the generated translated sentence is stored in the buffer.
Upon completion of the operation in step S16 described above, since it is detected in step S17 that unprocessed words ", John." still remain, the head word "," of the inputted sentence is set next to the just-processed word in step S18. Then, the logic flow is returned again to step S2, to resume the syntax analysis.
The analysis with respect to the unprocessed words ", John." fails in step S10, and accordingly the head word "," is divided from the other unprocessed words in step S13. At this time generally, the translation of the divided word is stored in the buffer means in step S16. However, since the translation dictionary in the present embodiment contains no translation for the word ",", the word is not actually inputted in the buffer.
Finally, the analysis with respect to the words "John." is carried out with success by the application of the grammatical rules (f) and (e). Accordingly, the translated sentence in the automatic divisional translation method is outputted in step S19. The content of the outputted translation is shown in FIG. 6.
Although it is so arranged in the above-described embodiment that the translation is carried out for every analyzed partial tree among the inputted source words when the syntax analysis of the whole sentence cannot be done, this arrangement may possibly be utilized when other analysis, that is, the meaning analysis (to distinguish what is correct from what is incorrect from results of the syntax analyses) fails.
As is made clear from the foregoing description, the translating device according to the present invention is arranged to output a translated sentence with respect to an inputted sentence through an analyzing operation. Particularly when the analysis is not able to be completed for the whole group of source words in the inputted sentence, the translation is effected for every analyzed partial tree of the inputted source words. Accordingly, the present invention is advantageous over the prior art for the following reasons:
(a) accordingly to the prior art machine translation system, if the syntax analysis fails, no translation is produced at all. Further, if the entirety of the inputted text cannot be translated, the prior art translation system has practically no usefulness. In comparison with the above-described prior art translation system, the translating device of the present invention is able to output a partial translation of the text even though the entire text may be unanalyzable. Therefore, by editing the partial translations, an effective translated sentence can be obtained;
(b) There are so many exceptions in natural languages subject to machine translation that it is hardly possible to form common grammatical rules to analyze all of the texts. Moreover, even if such grammatical rules were constructed, the number of grammatical rules would be extremely large and complex, and therefore it would be quite difficult to maintain and improve the grammatical rules. Conversely, since the present invention can handle the natural languages with limited grammatical rules, it is easy to maintain and improve the grammatical rules; and
(c) Since and when the result of the automatic divisional translation is displayed on the screen, calling a user's attention to the fact that the original text cannot be analyzed, the user can check errors in the original text.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

just the answer - Stolichnaya
Pernod Ricard's acquisition of Absolut has once again made the future of Stolichnaya a subject of intense speculation. Pernod had been in negotiations with Russian owner SPI Group about a possible acquisition of Stolichnaya, but for anti-trust reasons has had to abandon any such plans and walk away from its existing international distribution agreement for the brand. Chris Mercer spoke with SPI minority shareholder Andrey Skurikhin about Stoli's future.

(2.4L 4-cyl. Hybrid 6-speed Automatic)
30 day after posting follow up. My wife and I have learned to drive for economy and are now getting the 35 to 36 MPG in city driving with the A.C. on. Living in Florida affords no other way. I am taking the car in today for a recall notice that is supposed to take care of the engine light on problem and software adjustment that allegedly will increase our fuel economy even more. I will point out that we are retired and are not jumping on the throttle for jack rabbit starts, we have the time. The younger generation may not be able to afford the time of slow even starts and using the battery to propel the car as much as possible. That is the secret to 35 MPG city driving. We are two month owners with 5500 miles on the car and we are not sorry yet that we bought this car.
I had the same results with city mpg.
We had a summer of 105-110 degrees so ran the AC constantly.
The last time I tilled up, I decided to suck it up and not run the AC at all (cheated twice) and with work on the feathered driving I put 454 miles on the tank, refilled it with 12 gallons thus averaged just under 38 MPG exclusively in the city.
That was some hot driving with windows down.
Next tank will be a hybrid with more AC for comfort, even at 25-30mpg, still beats my Charger SRT.

For One Day Only: $1=$4, Thanks to Matching from BIG Donors
Reading Rabbi Saul Berman's moving front-page essay ("Martin Luther King and the Exodus Narrative") in last week's Jewish Press struck an emotional chord. Particularly since earlier in the week I'd attended an "Evening of Solidarity in Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.," which took place at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale in association with Reverend Roger Hambrick and the Green Pastures Baptist Church.
Between the spirited singing, clapping, speaking, and dancing (by men only) we experienced a few magic messianic moments. There we were: white, olive, brown and black people, Jew and Christian, praising the Lord together in quite a joyful way – and in an Orthodox synagogue. It took me back to the best days of the 1960's, before Black Power and black nationalism turned away from Dr. Kings' vision of non-violence and embraced an Islamic-style Jew-hatred. The evening was, in essence, an instance of inter-faith solidarity and constituted a living legacy to Dr. King's work.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has touched my life in both personal and political ways. Like many other Jews, I was an activist in the Civil Rights movement from 1963 on and was strengthened by the very Jewish perspective about slavery and freedom the movement embodied (and which Rabbi Berman brought out so well in his essay).
Like other activists, including secularists, I learned a thing or two about oratory from Dr. King's sublime speechifying. I was privileged to hear his noble "I have a dream" speech and I lived through the days of his shocking assassination. (Coincidentally, my son had his bar mitzvah on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and his parsha happened to be B'shalach, which celebrates the victory of our leaving Egypt.)
Rabbi Avi Weiss invites Reverend Roger Hambrick and his choir each year. It is now something of a tradition. After singing Hatikva, the Star Spangled Banner, and some psalms, President Daniel Perla and Rabbis Adam Starr and Etan Mintz all praised Dr. King and told us that "the world has still not yet assimilated his message," that "oppression and discrimination, even slavery still exist," and that the "songs" we were about to hear were not "mere songs but were prayers" and "manifestations of tikkun olam" (repair of the world), a concept that is central to both Judaism and Dr. King's Christianity.
The SAR High School chorus and Neshama Carlebach joined the extraordinary Baptist choir and the place rocked.
What made the evening important was this: Jew-hatred and discrimination on the basis of color were both denounced as "racism" and "evil." Carlebach spoke about "building bridges," both to each other in this world and in the world to come; she imagined Dr. King as a mighty soul who was building a bridge toward our world "from the other side" – but that we had to join in that labor so that heaven and earth might meet.
Rev. Hambrick was a truly jovial and commanding presence whose own singing was powerful and powerfully reassuring. Rabbi Weiss did a low-key Baptist-style call-and-response in tribute to his honored guests.
Rabbi Weiss noted that this month was also the 100th birthday of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who marched with Dr. King in Selma. When Heschel was asked what he was doing, he said he was "praying with his feet."
Rabbi Weiss wanted to find a Torahdik basis for Heschel's words – and find it he did. Yaakov dreams of angels ascending and descending a ladder and he names the place Beth-El – God's house. Right afterward, "vayisah Yaakov raglav" (Yaakov lifted up his feet). Rabbi Weiss intoned: What did he lift up? He did not lift up his eyes, he did not lift up his hands, but he lifted up his feet, he "prayed with his feet," so to speak, as he continued on his way Eastward and to his destiny.
The Baptists were delighted as were the Jews, and a truly uplifting time was had by all. We need more such evenings. We need to refresh our alliances with peoples of faith in preparation for messianic times.

Respect & appreciation for our country is not only a civic value but an essential Jewish one as well
When words lose meaning, the world becomes an Orwellian dystopia; a veritable Tower of Babel
Israel, like the non-radical Islamic world. will be happy see the ISIS beheaded for once.
Few of the volunteers were experienced sailors, (Greenfield had been in the Merchant Marine). Few were Zionists.
Hundreds of boats tried to run the British blockade on the dangerous, open seas.
My good colleague Kay is wrong about the early demise of conspiracy theories and blood libels against the Jews.
"I am surprised those Zionists are not outside protesting," says one woman.
"Miral" is a film that has garnered an inordinate amount of media attention. In interviews, the director, Julian Schnabel, defends his right to tell the Palestinian "narrative" for what he claims is the first time. He seems not to know that many others before him have specialized in this particular line of work.
Our beloved, miraculous Jewish state is under siege.
It was assumed that the ceaseless persecution of the Jews in exile would cease once we again had our own sovereign homeland, our own army, navy, and air force.
In 1947-1948 I lived in Boro Park where, against parental and rabbinic advice, I joined a Zionist group. By 1950 I was packing machine-gun parts for Israel in a home not far from the Young Israel. But what I did as a child does not compare to what my friend and colleague David Gutmann did for love of Zion at that very time on the dangerous open seas.
Reality has become somewhat Scandinavian. It grows dark early and it is bitterly cold here in New York City and over a good portion of our fair land. Our Prince of Peace (The Norwegian Nobel, not the noble variety) is not yet asking whether "to be or not to be." Perhaps he is not entirely convinced that "that is the question."
