In many restaurants throughout the world, wait staff's income depends largely on the tips received from customers. According to a new study, male restaurant customers give higher tips to waitresses wearing red. This study was published in a recent issue of Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research.
In their study of 272 restaurant customers, researchers Nicolas Guéguen and Céline Jacob found not only that male patrons gave higher tips than female patrons in general, but that men gave between 14.6% and 26.1% more to waitresses wearing red, while color had no effect on female patrons' tipping behavior at all. The researchers explained that previous research has found that red increases the physical and sexual attractiveness of women.
Guéguen and Jacob instructed eleven waitresses in five restaurants to wear the same tee shirt in different colors (black, white, red, blue, green, and yellow) on different days over a six-week period. The waitresses were instructed to act as they normally would to all customers and to record how much they received as a tip from each customer.
The author wrote, "As red color has no negative effect on women customers, it could be in their interest to wear red clothes at work."

South Texas report: Islanders men's tennis team edges Southern Mississippi
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's tennis team, ranked No. 53 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings, continued a string of close matches with a 4-3 win over Southern Mississippi at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
Between the men's and the women's teams, the program has played five straight 4-3 matches over the course of six days, with the last two coming down to a tiebreaker in the final set of the final match to decide the winner.
The Islanders (7-5) have now won six straight matches.
USM (10-6) earned the first point before the Islanders gained a commanding lead, winning at No. 1 (Peter Nagy), No. 2 (Gergo Weidinger) and No. 4 (Ricardo Mayagoitia) singles for a 3-1 lead before the Eagles tied it at 3.
In the deciding match, Matt Westmoreland earned a hard-fought 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (7-3) final that gave the Islanders the victory.
UTSA's big inning sinks Islanders
Texas-San Antonio's seven-run second inning was too much for the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi softball team to overcome in a 9-4 nonconference loss at Chapman Field.
The Islanders (6-18) received a hit from all nine batters in the lineup and tallied three runs in the third to pull within four, but the Roadrunners (14-8) maintained their lead with a pair of runs in the fourth while the Islanders added one in the sixth.
The Roadrunners (14-8) were propelled by Jolene Graham who went 3 for 3, including 2 RBIs. Alyssa Vordenbaum (5-3) recorded five strikeouts and allowed just two hits and one run in four innings to pick up the victory.
Ashley Elicerio (1-9) suffered the loss for the Islanders. She allowed six hits, nine runs — seven earned — while walking eight and striking out two in seven innings.

Doyle set to keep his starting place
Midfielder aims to make it hard for Boothroyd decide his best 11. Michael Doyle is back in Aidy Boothroyd's first eleven as a direct replacement for the injured Sammy Clingan, but the 29 year old midfielder is aiming to keep his place and give his manager Aidy Boothroyd a selection headache when Clingan is fit again. Doyle said, "I was delighted to get a start and as I have said before it is all about the lads and the team. I keep training hard and keep myself ready for when I am needed. "Unfortunately for Sammy Clingan he is injured and I have got a chance while he is out for a few weeks. Hopefully I can get the games under my belt and make an impression. I will keep plugging away and keep pushing the lads and see how we go." Doyle's first game as first choice didn't go as well as he had hoped as Coventry went down 2-0 to bottom placed club Crystal Palace and he admitted, "We are very disappointed especially given we had a lot of chances in the first half and on another day we probably could have been a couple of goals ahead, so it is unfortunate because we played really well to the break." "Their keeper [Speroni] made an unbelievable save to deny Lee Carsley in the second half and there would have only been one winner if we had got the goal, and then they went up and got a penalty and killed the game off and we were chasing it after that and unfortunately we couldn't get the goal." "I didn't really see it because it was our corner and they broke on us, but it is disappointing again because if it had been 1-1 or 0-0 at that stage they wouldn't have got that chance because we were throwing everything at them to try to get an equaliser and they caught us on the counter and got the penalty. "What we have to do is build on our first half performance because we showed a lot of positives in there and we have to get ready for Burnley this week." After a promising start to the season which saw Coventry City up to fourth place in the Npower Championship, the Sky Blues then went on a three game losing run and dropped to 11th place in the table, but City are at home to Burnley on Saturday and Doyle is hoping to see his side get back to winning ways and that the fans turn up in large numbers. "I hope the fans come back on Saturday because I think against Leeds we gave a great account of ourselves and were unfortunate to lose," he said. "It is up to us now to get another couple of wins to put us right back amongst it. So I hope we get a good crowd because it is going to be a really tough game. They are in the top six so hopefully it will draw a crowd and that we can get a result to keep getting the fans up there."

Very pretty towns and overall. I don't like it because of the population per week limits. A strategy game would require more decision but here the population limits prevent making any actual decisions.To win wait until you can beat the newts with few losses before fighting and build a capitol asap.

The applause you're hearing on the Great White Way is for the way Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig handled an obnoxious cell-phone user in the middle of their sold-out play, A Steady Rain – now one of the hottest tickets on Broadway.
But the clapping for the play itself isn't nearly as passionate.
"It all comes across like an elongated pitch meeting for an over caffeinated buddy-cop movie that might be directed by Sidney Lumet or Martin Scorsese," writes Reuters critic Frank Scheck.
The play, in which the pair play cops in love with the same woman, has broken the Broadway record for the highest weekly gross of a non-musical production, making $1,167,954 in its opening week. It is slated to run until Dec. 6 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater.
"You can feel the audience yearning to embrace Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig and the troubled cops they play. Sorry, folks. That would be tougher than giving Wolverine a manicure or asking 007 to commit," writes New York Daily News critic Joe Dziemianowicz, who gives the play three out of five stars. "Chicago writer Keith Huff's play is a stark and modest work that's all talk and no action. It keeps you at arm's length."
Not that the lukewarm reviews have kept away the crowds, or Jackman and Craig, both 40, from receiving kudos for their effort and charisma. But the stars – the actor kind, not the good-review kind – are the only thing Steady Rain has going for it, the critics agree.
"It's hard to avoid thinking that had they chosen to recite the alphabet in counterpoint (which might have been more fun), their joint appearance would still generate ticket sales unknown for a straight play since Julia Roberts appeared in Richard Greenberg's Three Days of Rain," writes Ben Brantley of The New York Times, referring to Roberts's 2006 Broadway debut, which similarly sold out despite mediocre reviews.
The one thing almost universally lauded about A Steady Rain: Craig and Jackman berating an audience member in character when his cell phone went off – twice! – in the middle of intense scenes last week. A YouTube video of the stage smackdown has been extremely popular online.

This is the seventh post in the WCF 4.5 series. In previous posts, we've examined two new security features of WCF 4.5 and IIS – multiple client credentials support, and default HTTPS endpoint support, both new features are IIS-specific (or to be more exact, web hosting specific). In this post, we will look into a new security configuration option in WCF 4.5 – the BasicHttpsBinding.
Transport security is supported in WCF since day 1, and you can configure it by setting the security mode of your binding:
<bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name="secured"> <security mode="Transport"> <transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/> </security> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings>
Declaring transport security based endpoints is quite an easy task in WCF, but does require writing some binding configuration in the config file. WCF 4.5 helps reduce the amount of configuration by adding a new type of binding – basicHttpsBinding.
The basicHttpsBinding is similar to basicHttpBinding, only it has the following defaults:
Setting up an endpoint with a basicHttps binding is quite simple:
<services> <service name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Service1"> <host> <baseAddresses> <add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/" /> <add baseAddress = "https://localhost:44310/Design_Time_Addresses/WcfServiceLibrary1/Service1/" /> </baseAddresses> </host> <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1"/> <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpsBinding" contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IService1"/> </service> </services>
If you want to change the default client credential type for the secured endpoints, you will need to create a binding configuration for the secured endpoint:

Back cover copy
My name is Dorothy Ann. I am one of the kids in Ms. Frizzle's class. Maybe you've heard of Ms. Frizzle. She takes us on lots of field trips in the Magic School Bus. We never know what's going to happen when we get on that bus, but we do know that we'll learn about Ms. Frizzle's favorite subject-science!When Ms. Frizzle ordered skeleton costumes for us, some of the bones were missing. We headed for the Hugh Mann Costume Company to look for them. There, we learned why we need our skeletons, what different bones are for, and what makes them grow. But why was that strange skeleton following us? In this book, I tell you everything that happened on that trip, the time we went on The Search for the Missing Bones.

Hello everyone. I just started having a problem with the Finder within the last two days and I hope someone can help. I am running OS X 10.3.4 on a 1.8 G5 with a gig of RAM. The problem starts when I open the Finder. In the Finder window on the left hand side where it says desktop, movies, applications, documents, music, and pictures, when I will click on desktop it will take a few seconds and start to pinwheel. It will take even longer when I click on any other tab, it will pinwheel for a minute or two. It was not doing this a couple of days ago. I also noticed that when I right click on a folder or click on any itme in the folder it will pinwheel for about 3-5 minutes before it opens it.
So far I have run the disk utility on the hard drive to repair any permissions that were damaged. I also ran the Tech Tool disk I received from Apple Care to test the hardware within the computer. Everything passed for the hardware test. I was having a similar problem with my last computer, a G4. I took it in and they could not repair the computer. It was a very similar problem, it would pinwheel and eventually crash. If anyone could give any other suggestions as to what else I could try to fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Reboot the computer
As soon as it starts to boot hold down the Apple + S keys Hold them until you see a bunch of text starting to load When that is done type in /sbin/fsck -f Hit Enter I have a feeling that will fix some errors...if it does run the test again When it says Macintosh HD is OK type in exit and hit enter to bring you back to OS X Don't forget to use the new User Reputation System |

Hey, I think I have it fixed. I tried what trpnmonkey41 suggested twice and both times it said it was ok. The only thing I did notice from it was that the fan would start to get really really loud, louder than I have heard it in the past. I then read the Sticky for Basic OS X Troubleshooting and deleted the cache files in my library section and rebooted. That seems to have fixed it. So, there was a problem with a program that corrupted a cache file? What would cause that? Thanks for the suggestions.

36 charged in Jamaican drug operation
UPDATED 12:41 PM EDT Oct 10, 2013Authorities said they have arrested 36 people on several charges, including racketeering and trafficking in marijuana.
Video TranscriptOF THIS STORY. DOZENS ARE CHARGED AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF MARIJUANA CONFISCATEED IN A HUGE POT TRAFFICKING BUST. THE ARRESTS COME FOLLOWING A YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION INTO A SMUGGLING RING THAT BRINGS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS OF POT TO CENTRAL FLORIDA EACH YEAR. MICHELLE MEREDITH HAS THE BREAKING DETAILS. MICHELLE? WELL LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN TRACKING THIS DRUG RING SINCE 2006 OVER SEVEN YEARS. TODAY, THE M.B.I., THE ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND U.S. IM ABRASION AND CUSTOMS ANNOUNCED THE ARRESTS OF NINE PEOPLE. THESE ARE TWO RING LEADERS. WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR 36 OTHERS IN CONNECTION TO WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT CALLS OPERATION WAREHOUSE 13. A HUGE MARIJUANA-SMUGGLING OPERATION THAT MAINLY TOOK PLACE IN PINE HILLS IN WHICH OVER 3,000 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA WERE SEIZED ALONG WITH CLOSE TO $200,000 IN CASH, NINE FIREARMS, AND SIX VEHICLES. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS MUCH MARIJUANA, THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, ARE COMING INTO ORLANDO ON A REGULAR BASIS AND I'M HOPING THAT WHAT WE DID TODAY AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS HAS PUT A DAMAGE TO THE ORGANIZATION. NOW, AT ONE POINT IN JULY, LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERCEPTED AN R.V. COMING IN FROM MEXICO WITH OVER 2,000 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA BUT THEY TELL US THIS INVESTIGATION IS STILL FAR FROM

In conclusion, monitoring the depth of anesthesia plays an integral role in the anesthetic regimen. Although the use of sophisticated monitoring equipment has replaced some of the art of anesthesia and made assessment of depth of anesthesia more precise, a vigilant clinician still needs to serve as the animal's advocate. He or she must gather the data that are generated by machines, acquire data that monitoring equipment cannot obtain, assimilate all the facts, and make appropriate changes in anesthetic management.

WikiConference 2015
- Religion & Spirituality
- 700 Westgreen Blvd Katy, TX 77450, US
WikiConference 2014FiveTwo NetworkTuesday, September 23, 2014 at 8:00 AM - Thursday, September 25, 2014 at 11:30 AM (CDT) |
WikiConference is the annual gathering for the FiveTwo Network. It's a conference that is coordinated and presented through collaboration between organizations and ministry experts in various ministry fields. These people are on the front lines and in the trenches. They are passionate about reaching God's lost in their communities and they are practicing what they are preaching. WikiConference is for any church leader–staff or volunteer–who wants personal, practical ways to better reach the lost in their community.
More details to be announced!
Visit us at www.fivetwo.com for more information!
The name FiveTwo comes from the Feeding of the 5000. It comes from Mark 6:38: "How many loaves do you have?" [Jesus] asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five—and two fish."
We chose this name because it speaks to a number of beliefs we hold dear regarding our God and the spreading of His Church.

Hi, I recently got a reloading press and now I'm just about ready to move up to the rifle platform, my only problem is I really don't know too much about the different bullet companies, and what kind of bullets do the specialize in, the quality of them and so forth. The rifle I'm going to reload for is my .303 Brit(being the only centerfire rifle I own at the moment) and I'm looking for is some kind of softpoint. FMJ's would obviously be cheaper but with all the mil. surplus around I don't really see the point.
So if any of you have any input on Hornady, Speer, Sierra, Winchester and Remington, I'd love to hear it. They all seem to have similiar prices in my Midway catalog. Right now I'm looking into thier 150 Gr. SP bullets as sort of a starting point. I'd probably use them for some close range varmint hunting and just seeing if thier accurate out of my gun.(if I like 'em maybe deer season when it rolls around) And also of course to say to my self "Cool, look what I made" .

For .303, I use Sierra 125gr Spitzers (make sure you get .311", not .308"), new Winchester brass and primers, and 45gr of Reloder 15. This is a stout load, just below max, and your Enfield may not be able to handle it. This is *not* my plinking load, BTW; this is for serious work.
I pay ~$11 for 100 bullets at my local shop. You should be able to get a better deal from Midway (http://www.midwayusa.com). Final note: this really should be in the Loading forum. ------------------ http://pub6.ezboard.com/blibertarian |

Coin: Yeah, I thought about putting this in the reloading forum, but I figured more hunters stop by here than there. What gun do you use? I've never really heard of any other .303's besides Enfields and the P-14. And I'm not even really sure what that is.

the 150's would be a good choice for deer hunting, maybe the 125's that Coinneach suggests for varmints, whatever shoots well in your rifle. Considering that the original round was a 215 grain bullet over blackpowder either of these are plenty lighter/faster. I believe that the 125 grain bullets really were more meant for reloading the 7.62x39R, also .311 diameter. A couple of other cartridges that use the .311 diameter are 7.65x53 Argentine Mauser, and the 7.7 Japanese Arisaka. Bergie |

I have a No 4 Mk I. For just fooling around and making noise, I buy milsurp with 174gr FMJs and cordite (yes, really). The 125gr Sierras that I use are more accurate than any other weight *for my gun*. Yours may prefer the 150s or 180s.
The load I gave above does some unreal things at the wrong end, both accuracy-wise and performance wise. ------------------ http://pub6.ezboard.com/blibertarian |

Hello, Adamantium! In my No.4 MkII, I use the following load and was amazed at near MOA groups at 100 yards. It is toward the top end, but I get no pressure signs. You might work up to it just to be safe and sure that you don't damage anything. Here goes:
Sierra 150 gr Spitzer/45.0 gr IMR-4895/Frontier cases/ Remington 9 1/2M primer. LOA~3.03" (How 'bout that!). I trim cases to 2.21". Velocity is a bit better than 2600 ft/sec. As you probably know, chambers tend to be loose in the SMLE rifles for wartime conditions and full-length resizing will eventually lead to case separation. Since I have but one such rifle, I use a Redding neck sizing die and suffer no problems. This load has worked nicely on Texas Whitetails. Best. |

Global MA in International Relations (GMA) |
Program Description
The global master of arts (GMA) in international relations enables students to analyze the complexities and processes involved in world politics and international affairs. Students achieve this objective not only through coursework providing exposure to the key subfields of the discipline and relevant issues such as globalization, human rights, humanitarian action, and economic development, but also through professional seminars and through academic work in five of Webster's overseas sites. The program is ideal for students seeking work with a governmental agency, an intergovernmental organization, a nongovernmental organization, or a multinational corporation. This program is also recommended to students planning to pursue a PhD or an academic career at another institution.
Global Degrees
Students enrolled in Webster Global degrees achieve greater comprehension of theoretical approaches to understanding global issues, not only through traditional course work, but also through lived experience in different nations, interaction with local people, and through field visits. Hence, there are several fundamental experiences that identify the "Global degree" from a "non-global" degree.
- A Global degree cannot be completed at one Webster University campus alone.
- A Global degree includes study at several Webster University campuses in a minimum of three different countries.
- A Global degree allows students to engage in various cultures and develop a "global" perspective that might not otherwise be achieved.
- A Global degree requires a structured rotation of students among the Webster campuses with a predefined academic curriculum for each campus.
- A Global degree allows for the movement of a cohort of students between campuses while still achieving all of the requirements for graduation.
- A Global degree has the intent that the time spent in the local culture at each Webster campus complements the academic work in the particular area of study.
Global degree programs have a cohort of students. They are not available for single students moving among campuses. The cohort size will be determined by the academic department offering the Global degree. Therefore, the integration of location specific highlights that enhance academic understanding is crucial to a Global degree and should be organized as a part of the student's coursework normally in professional seminars.
For more information, visit the Global MA Program page.
Learning Outcomes
Students who complete this program will be able to :
- demonstrate working knowledge of several subfields of the discipline.
- demonstrate strong research skills.
- critically analyze international events and issues.

Clergy told to take on 'new atheists'
By JONATHAN WYNNE-JONES - TELEGRAPH
Added: Sun, 06 Feb 2011 20:40:52 UTC
The Church of England will this week vow to fight "new atheism" in an attempt to combat the rise of secularism and defend Christianity in Britain.
Clergy are to be urged to be more vocal in countering the arguments put forward by a more hard-line group of atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, who have campaigned for a less tolerant attitude towards religion.
A report endorsed by Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, warns that the Church faces a battle to prevent faith being seen as "a social problem" and says the next five years are set to be a period of "exceptional challenge".
It expresses concern that Christians are facing hostility at work and says the Church could lose its place at the centre of public life unless it challenges attempts to marginalise religious belief.
The rallying call comes amid fears that Christians are suffering from an increasing level of discrimination following a series of cases in which they have been punished for sharing their beliefs.
Members of the General Synod, the Church's parliament, will be asked at this week's meeting to back the landmark report, which outlines a vision to ensure a strong future of the Church.

So, sometime next year youŌĆÖre attending Sunday Mass as you always do, the priest takes his place in the sanctuary, makes the Sign of the Cross and says ŌĆ£The Lord be with you,ŌĆØ and you dutifully respond, ŌĆ£And also with you.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£Wrong,ŌĆØ the priest says, ŌĆ£The correct answer now is, ŌĆśAnd with your spiritŌĆÖ.ŌĆØ
ThatŌĆÖs the scenario youŌĆÖre likely to encounter in the not-too-distant future as some of the language of the Mass, language with which weŌĆÖve become very familiar, is about to change. The change is the result of a new translation of the Roman Missal, a translation thatŌĆÖs been studied and discussed for a number of years now, and is soon to be introduced into the English speaking world.
The reasons for the new translation are, in themselves, simple enough. The Mass is being translated anew to provide a more exalted, transcendent, ŌĆ£spiritualŌĆØ language for our worship, and to make the English translation more consistent with the Latin original.
The translation process has been long and complicated, and it gets very technical, very quickly. The development of liturgical language is no small feat ŌĆō it involves highly trained experts in Canon Law, scripture, liturgy and language. Eleven different episcopal conferences from the English speaking world on five continents have been consulted.
The process of translating the Mass and its final product have been the subject of a fierce debate within Church circles. The Catholic blogosphere has gone crazy over the topic, with competing articles, editorials, surveys and petitions. The folks personally involved in the discussion can get very emotional about matters such as the role of the Bishops Conference vs. the Holy See; the composition and competence of consultative groups such as ICEL (The International Commission on English in the Liturgy) and Vox Clara; about the relative merits of arcane documents such as Comme Le Prevoit and Liturgiam Authenticam. In short, the process of translating the liturgy makes the recent debate over healthcare reform in the United States look like a walk in the park!
ThereŌĆÖs so much intramural stuff going on here, you might be tempted to throw your hands up in total frustration and ask, ŌĆ£Who cares . . . whatŌĆÖs the big deal . . . arenŌĆÖt there more important things to deal with?ŌĆØ Good questions, all.
But as often happens in the Church today, the debate over liturgical translations reveals a broad division in ecclesial ranks pitting, in simple terms, conservatives against liberals. It seems to me though that itŌĆÖs a mistake to read too much into the translation process, from either perspective. To those who think that the new translations represent the salvation of the Church and a great triumph for traditional values and orthodoxy; as well as to those who view the new translations as a giant step backward, a rebuke of the Vatican Council, and an abuse of hierarchical authority ŌĆō to both camps I suggest, respectfully, ŌĆ£Get over it.ŌĆØ While the debate might be interesting to ecclesial wonks and relevant to a theology classroom, it really wonŌĆÖt help us solve the problem at hand.
Leaving aside all the inside-Church debate then, there are some important things to remember as we prepare for the implementation of the new language of the Mass in the Diocese of Providence.
The first is to acknowledge that the change in the prayers of the Mass will indeed present a significant challenge for priests and parishioners alike. WeŌĆÖll need more recourse to liturgical books and printed materials for awhile; weŌĆÖll have to think before we speak. There will be mistakes and embarrassing episodes. The process will require a little perspective, a lot of patience, and maybe even a healthy dose of humor.
The second point is to assure you that the changes will be preceded by a thorough catechetical process, a teaching process that will involve the entire diocese. Useful materials are already being prepared and published nationwide, and in the diocese a core committee of priests has been formed and has begun the very first phases of the process. In the near future the committee will be expanded to include other representatives of our diocesan Church. The committee will work hard to guide us in our journey.
And finally, IŌĆÖm convinced that the process of implementing and learning the new translations of the prayers will provide us with a truly blessed opportunity. I wonder ŌĆō in the thirty-some years that weŌĆÖve been using the current translations of the Mass, doesnŌĆÖt it seem that weŌĆÖve become a little too casual, a little careless about our liturgical prayer? When we attend Mass donŌĆÖt we sometimes sleepwalk through it, respond like robots, and pray without ever having to think about what weŌĆÖre saying? Of course thereŌĆÖs something comfortable and cozy about memorizing our prayers and taking them to heart, but the accompanying danger is an over-familiarity that leads to boredom and emptiness.
I suspect that in just a few years weŌĆÖll look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. My guess is that some of the new translations will be much better than the old; and that others will be awkward and truly ŌĆ£ineffable.ŌĆØ But if the process of learning new responses and prayers of the Mass helps us to think about what weŌĆÖre saying; if it helps us to grow spiritually and appreciate the wonderful gift of the Eucharist; if it helps us even a little ŌĆ£to worship in spirit and in truth,ŌĆØ then the process will have been well worth the effort.
The way in which we receive and implement the new translation, and its impact on our diocesan Church, is now in our hands. LetŌĆÖs do our best to set aside the drama and work on it together ŌĆō prayerfully, peacefully and productively.
