TO TURN YOUR HANDGUN INTO A SNIPER RIFLE! http://visionns.buzz/4XQD3N1etfMiEzh3rXOlti-lp1V0rXheChnFTUlSfH-xfyHT http://visionns.buzz/dZX772MWuTbKf29hK06F7IhFmrukWTowRffQAjZBhg3PoheO Some academics in the fields of theology, education, archaeology and history have adopted CE and BCE notation, although there is some disagreement. Several style guides now prefer or mandate its use. The style guide for the Episcopal Diocese Maryland Church News says that BCE and CE should be used. In the United States, the use of the BCE/CE notation in textbooks was reported in 2005 to be growing. Some publications have moved over to using it exclusively. For example, the 2007 World Almanac was the first edition to switch over to BCE/CE, ending a period of 138 years in which the traditional BC/AD dating notation was used. BCE/CE is used by the College Board in its history tests, and by the Norton Anthology of English Literature. Others have taken a different approach. The US-based History Channel uses BCE/CE notation in articles on non-Christian religious topics such as Jerusalem and Judaism. In 2002, an advisory panel for the religious education syllabus for England and Wales recommended introducing BCE/CE dates to schools, and by 2018 some local education authorities were using them. In 2018, the National Trust said it would continue to use BC/AD as its house style. English Heritage explains its era policy thus: "It might seem strange to use a Christian calendar system when referring to British prehistory, but the BC/AD labels are widely used and understood." Some parts of the BBC use BCE/CE, but others have refused to do so. As at October 2019, the BBC News style guide has entries for AD and BC, but not for CE or BCE. In June 2006, in the United States, the Kentucky State School Board reversed its decision to use BCE and CE in the state's new Program of Studies, leaving education of students about these concepts a matter of discretion at the local level. Also in 2011, media reports suggested that the BC/AD notation in Australian school textbooks would be replaced by BCE/CE notation. The story became national news and drew opposition from some politicians and church leaders. Weeks after the story broke, the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority denied the rumour and stated that the BC/AD notation would remain, with CE and BCE as an optional suggested learning activity ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #3749 **********************************************
