Pater Noster ("Our Father" in Latin)

 

Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur Nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo.

Why we use "BCE" and "CE"

Common Era
The Common Era (CE) is the period beginning with the year 1 onwards. The term is used for a system of reckoning years that is chronologically equivalent to the Anno Domini (AD) (Latin for "In the year of our Lord") system, but with less overt religious implications. Although "common era" was a term first used by some Christians in an age when Christianity was the common religion of the West, it is now a term preferred as a religiously inclusive alternative.

Chronology and notation
The calendar practice prompting the coining of the term "common era" is the system of numbering and naming years using the presumed (although incorrect) birth year of Jesus as a starting point. This system was devised by the monk Dionysius Exiguus about the year 525, and used the label Anno Domini or AD to identify the year. Two centuries later the monk Bede introduced the label BC to identify years in the era preceding AD. The evidence suggests these terms did not come into widespread use for a few more centuries. The term "common era" refers to the time period since the year 1 described by the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced in 1582 to address the problem of the Julian calendar being out of synch with the seasons due to using too many leap days. The Gregorian calendar is the world's de facto standard calendar system.
Thus, according to this international standard, the French Revolution occurred in the year 1789, and human beings first walked on the Moon in the year 1969. Users of common era nomenclature consider these events to have occurred in years "of the common era".

When used as a replacement for BC/AD notation, the common era is abbreviated as CE and is the direct chronological equivalent of AD. Similarly, the time before the common era is written as BCE and is the direct chronological equivalent of BC. Both abbreviations are written following the year, thus Aristotle was born in 384 BCE (or 384 BC), and Genghis Khan died in 1227 CE (or AD 1227).

Plaza Word Jumble

Plaza Word Jumble was invented on the Santa Fe Plaza by Pastor Larzelere and Fletcher Catron, members of local Bicycling Teame Frisque.  It all begins with the Jumble puzzle in the local newspaper, BUT, instead of unscrambling the words to form ordinary words, the goal of Plaza Word Jumble is to admit that these are "new" words in our language and attempt to discover their true meaning.

For example, NACINE in Jumble would turn out to be "CANINE", but in Plaza Word Jumble it might be "The Proper Name of the heroine of When Chemists Turn Bad."
