Measurement is important to us all. It is the ability to quantitively express certain physical values that provide indications to the quality, performance and function of the item being measured. To ensure the quality and performance, the measured value must be reliable. It is not sufficient for a measuring instrument to measure only on given days. It must obtain the same value over intervals of time, regardless of the environmental conditions it must endure. That is why the spirit of 'quality first' is an integral element in meeting our corporate philosophy goal.

Cool LED installment! Where do you put the on/off switch?ReplyDelete
Interesting! Now the Impulse can light up like in the show. You installed it by yourself? Or it comes with the LED?ReplyDelete
nice. PG Force Impulse! lolx. im always interested to know how to install a LED light, but nv had a chance to.. hmmm. looking forward to your finish build! =DReplyDelete
@h4msterworld so far only installed the LED, still dont do the circuit yet. so that's a direct contact with a battery packReplyDelete
@Marzz self installed. Bandai aren't generous enough to give LED for 1/60 RD kits, yet they are too generous with 1/60 RD SF XD
@Ren n Tako haha, my build isnt even an inch near to a PG lolz
Considering how much the RD 1/60 SF is... of course they are generous. XPReplyDelete

I am a huge proponent of sharing survey results with the participants in the survey itself. But it can be easy to send the wrong message. How you visualize and speak about the data can engage the participants effectively or come across as disingenuous.
The Visualization I Use for My Own Analysis
For me, I like to use a "shifted" bar graph where the neutral proportion is in the middle, with "Agree" and "Strongly Agree" proportions on the right and "Disagree" and "Strongly Disagree" proportions on the left. This way, I can quickly see which area is weak both through the bar's horizontal shift, and through the colors.
My two bars that are the most shifted left are I have a say in how I learn and I feel safe & comfortable, but these questions don't have any Strongly Disagree responses. The question with the most Strongly Disagree responses that is also shifted more to the left than others, is the question asking if the Challenge level is appropriate.
As a teacher, this gives me direction to look into the free flow comments related to these specific areas.
Why I Won't Share This Graph
When I share my results with students, it is for the following purposes:
- Validate that their survey responses are important to me
- Model growth mindedness and humility
- Set and declare goals, to show that I am a learner as well
This year, as you can see, my results came back quite favorable. By showing this graph, with the large majority in "Agree" and "Strongly Agree", students who feel the other way will feel that their responses don't matter. I also might be sending the message that I'm great already and don't need to change. My results also might be better than a different teacher and I wouldn't want the kids to know that.
How I Modify My Graph
First, I get rid of the responses as words and change each response to a numeric 1 to 5 in order to get an average for each question:
Then when I make my graph, I set a scale that puts the majority of my bars in the middle of the display while also removing the scale labels entirely.
How I Orchestrate My Discussion
When I show this to my kids, I start by thanking them. I remind them that when I give them feedback on their tests and quizzes, it's to help them learn to be better mathematicians – and that their feedback to me is to help me be a better teacher.
I then let them know that I've removed the scale so that I don't focus on the score. I often make the connection to their grades and how they shouldn't focus on their own scores, but instead on what they do with the scores. I then acknowledge some of my "glows" and "grows" – areas the students felt are going well and areas where there are opportunities.
Lastly, I declare goals and action steps in front of them. For second semester this year, I'm going to find action steps around allowing students to choose challenge levels for themselves – which would then be a solution related both to having a say and the appropriate challenge levels.
Getting This Right Shows Students You Care
Moreover, it shows students you value the ideals you convey: that we care about student voices, that feedback is not about the grades, and that we are all lifelong learners.

Fans of the traditional Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer, Barbara Metzger, and Jo Beverley will enjoy this witty, entertaining romance from New York Times bestselling author Candice Hern. Meg Ashburton's single London Season had been a disaster. Skinny, red-haired, and 6-feet tall, she had been overlooked as an insignificant gawky bumpkin by all of Society, especially by the gentlemen. Except for one man. Lord Sedgewick had danced with her, and she had secretly fallen in love with him. Now, six years later, a carriage accident near Meg's country home finds a seriously-injured Sedge thinking he's dead, with a red-haired angel bending over him. Meg does her best to insure that the only man she's ever loved doesn't die while under her family's care. As he recovers, she has a second chance at love with him. But when he finally makes her an offer, it is not the sort that Meg can accept. Or can she?
From a famous stud farm in the Suffolk countryside to the ballrooms of London, Regency England comes alive in this charming romance.

This is a developing situation… This is a developing situation… The words have been scrolling across the bottom of the TV screen for hours. I already knew that. I'm pretty sure everyone in Texas knows that. Everyone in the United States knows that. It's been a developing situation for days.
Around here, night time temps are dipping into the mid-teens. It hasn't been above freezing for 60 some hours. In southern Texas that has different ramifications that it would in say, Iowa or Minnesota, where 25 degrees can be considered nearly balmy for early February.
The RV furnace set at 60 for fear of running out of propane since we aren't very portable right now. Henry isn't finding his coat to be entirely sufficient. But overall, we've been coping pretty with the cold.
Here in Shiner, they're breaking records. It's only snowed 1 inch 18 times since 1885. Schools have gone from rolling brown-outs to closing all over southern Texas. Folks from all across the nation are wondering if they'll be able to make it to Dallas to claim their $4500 scalped tickets for the Super Bowl on Sunday.
I have bowl issues of my own. Since I take the night shift, it's been my job to make sure the water maintains it's slow drip in the sink bowl. I felt heroic Tuesday night as I carefully monitored both sinks every 30 minutes. I slept peacefully Wednesday morning, confident the drip would keep on.
Heidi had already disconnected the outside hose to our water supply since we it would freeze right away. I've since learned that it's amazing how quickly slowly dripping water can empty an entire RV reserve.
Doing my do diligence last night, I set aside my log sheet and knitting, I paused the DVR, unwound from the blanket and stopped dead in my track (it's only one step from the chair to the sink). The kitchen faucet wasn't dripping. My fear was confirmed when I couldn't get any water from Bad, Bad Leroy Brown either. BBLB is the name of the bathroom sink. Heidi stuck a BAD label on it so I'd remember to quit brushing my teeth with the non-drinkable, bad tasting potable water. I named the sink Bad, Bad Leroy Brown because I now start humming the tune every time I get my tooth brush out.
I haven't named any of the appliances yet, although Mr. Coffee, which came named, is next on my list of problematic necessities. My shift begins between 3-4 in the afternoon and goes until 5-6 in the morning. Coffee is my friend. Tonight when Mr Coffee began tripping breakers no matter where I plugged it in: on the counter where it belongs, out of place under the dinette etc… I eventually disconnected the bell and perked a pot outside while watching for monster trucks and white pickups through the icy window.
Now I re-heat it up a cup at a time in the microwave. Because the microwave is our most frequently depended upon appliance, I thought of naming it Bubba, after the rancher who owns this land. He seems like the rugged, reliable type. My hesitation was that when we had generator problems last month, 'Bubba' started losing time, and when we re-set the generator this month, 'Bubba' began to gain about 15 minutes an hour, so now I'm thinking he may be more of a White Rabbit than a Bubba.
Back to bowls: the real crisis that precipitated this post is the toilet bowl. Our automatic septic pump is no longer automated. Apparently there's a bit of a dam somewhere in the sewer line so the restroom is now closed for thawing.
This discovery late today prompted a trip to Gonzalas to the nearest WalMart. Heidi suggested I buy a 5 gallon bucket. The only 5 gallon bucket I could find included the cement, so I wandered the isles. I knew the blue plastic pail for $1.50 couldn't possibly handle the stress. The bait buckets had holes. The trash cans looked sturdy enough but the logistics were insurmountable.
The store was teaming with prestorm shoppers when I finally found my solution.
There was a fairly wide variety of acceptable planters. I checked the bottom for weight restrictions but I guess they don't sells planters that way, even though they do sometimes plant large patio trees in them. There was a warning label but I felt confident there was no danger of falling in.
I've accidentally done a number of things that drew quite a lot of embarrassing attention to myself (fallen off the stage, left the conference for the restroom with my mike still on etc…). But today, I was a woman with a mission. I was shameless.
As shoppers streamed by, I lined the most desirable planters up in a row and carefully sat in each pot until I found just the right one. I think this whole experience has given me greater self-confidence and has certainly added meaning to the saying: "Bloom Where You Are Planted".
In the Express line, the clerk smiled at me and said:
"We've sold out of gloves and drinking water today, but you're the first one to buy a pot."
I briefly explained my predicament and told her that I thought there might be a run on planters, too, if the weather doesn't change soon.
She nodded.
"This surely is some crazy weather. We had to bring our chickens inside."
"Oh gosh, how many chickens do you have?"
"Wow! That must be quite a cacophony!"
She handed me my pot.
"Sure is Sugar, especially with the 3 Chihuahuas."
That added some perspective. I don't have any water or bathroom facilities. I can't shower or do dishes (the dirty dishes are in temporary storage in the shower) or keep the breakers from tripping. I don't have much heat tonight and apparently even less pride, but I also don't have 25 chickens and 3 Chihuahuas!

Kentucky BBQ: Bring Your Own Squirrels, Raccoons, Possums And Porcupines
Story by by Dave Seminara
"In Kentucky, you can get a porcupine hickory-smoked for five bucks. A squirrel or a frog will set you back just $2.50. I had no idea that one could kill an animal and then bring it to a place that would smoke it for a fee until I road-tripped to Kentucky last week with my family."

Austin Daily Photo: Jim Towers, The Happy Hillbilly Of Groesbeck Texas
Tell us this guy doesn't know his way around a brisket.
Jim Towers is the pit boss of The Happy Hillbillies barbecue team out of Groesbeck, Texas. He's a loquacious gent, happy to sit back with a stranger and share a plate of barbecue and a few minutes of ribaldry. We met Jim at the National Barbecue Championships up in Meridian Texas a few weeks back. Amber King ended up being dubbed the Queen of Texas Pit Bosses on that day but we doubt Jim Towers took it to heart. This man puts out some mean brisket and doesn't need a championship trophy to affirm that.

Help Desk FAQ
Credit reports and scores
What is a credit security freeze and how does it work?
A security freeze is a tool to prevent identity theft. When you freeze your credit reports with all three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion), they become inaccessible unless you unfreeze them using a password or PIN (personal identification number). If a creditor cannot access your credit report or score when it receives an application for credit, it will reject the applicant's request. This keeps identity thieves from opening new credit in your name. A freeze does not prevent fraud involving your existing bank or credit accounts.
As of Sept. 21, 2018, you can freeze and unfreeze your credit file for free (there used to be a fee). You also can get a free freeze for your children who are under 16. And if you are someone's guardian, conservator or have a valid power of attorney, you can get a free freeze for that person, too. Whether you request a freeze online or by phone, the credit bureau must freeze your credit file within one business day. A request to lift the freeze, whether done by phone or online, must be fulfilled within one hour. Mailed requests to place or lift a freeze can take up to three business days.
While a security freeze provides strong protection against identity theft, your reports being inaccessible to anyone who uses credit reports and scores in their decision-making process—that includes insurance companies, landlords, employers doing a background check (in states where it is allowed), cell phone companies and utilities—can be inconvenient.
If you don't think you need to freeze your credit reports but would like an added measure of protection, consider a fraud alert, which notifies creditors to take extra precautions when verifying identity for a credit application submitted in your name. An initial fraud alert lasts one year and entitles you to an extra credit report for free. Learn more at the credit bureau websites.
Learn more about freezing your credit file by reading our Freeze Your Credit File publication.

- 1 sheet puff pastry or 1 round store-bought pie dough
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Dust your work surface with a little flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten the dough out just to remove any wrinkles or imperfections. Using a snowflake cookie cutter, cut out a bunch of snowflakes and place them onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Using a fork, poke holes into the center of each snowflake to "dock" it. This will prevent the snowflake from rising too much.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
Once cool, dust the puff pastry with plenty of powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container for up a week.


text: While on a work assignment in Azerbaijan, I was introduced to dovga, a yogurt based soup with a mix of fresh summer herbs and chickpeas, served cold. Locally this would accompany a Caspian sturgeon kabab and a plate of sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and parsley. I've found several online recipes for it, this one is my favorite. I usually skip the rice (that's not in the version I had, and I think it takes away some of the pungent kick of the mix of dill, cilantro, mint, and garlic chives). Finding good sour yogurt is important, the closest I've found stateside is kefir milk from the local halal market (which BTW, is also a great place to buy fresh clean meat from a competent butcher). Dovga is best served right after you make it (don't overcook the yogurt and the herbs, never let it boil!) but it keeps well for up to a week, as it's hard to make in small quantities.

Sign up! The Cleared Brief - Latest security clearance news - delivered monthly.
In what would appear to be a bit of regurgitation coming out of Washington, we see the media lighting up the discussion on the limitations of access afforded to presidential advisor, Jared Kushner, who also happens to be the President's son-in-law. In this iteration of the Kushner clearance newscycle we are revisiting the allegation the CIA balked at allowing Kushner access to Special Compartmented Information (SCI).
Kushner cleared for Top Secret
In March 2018, we wrote that processing of Kushner's security clearance adjudication was taking an inordinately long period of time for an individual who was being fast tracked through the system. We opined then that the "business dealings and circle of contacts are simply so complex that a firm handle on the potential for foreign influence over Kushner or his various business holdings is difficult to assess?" We continued how the White House would, as the CSA (Cognizant Security Authority), "make their determination on whether or not to allow Kushner's security clearance to become permanent."
In May 2018, we learned that Kushner's Top-Secret security clearance had been finalized with the CSA authorizing Kushner access to Top Secret information. The process took 488 days, was still within the norms that many Facility Security Officers are experiencing given the number of background investigations in the government-wide backlog.
SCI and CIA's reluctance
Separately, the Washington Post reported, again in May 2018, that Kushner had been approved for his Top Secret clearance, but that it did not include clearance to SCI materials.
The reality is no one's Top Secret clearance in and of itself provides them access to SCI materials. Special and Compartmented are keywords with meaning. One must have a need to know and access to the SCI is carefully controlled. Normally it requires a program read-in, an acknowledgement of the penalties which will arrive at one's doorstep should they reveal the "secret" being protected by the SCI program.
At that time the CIA reportedly opted not to read Kushner into their SCI compartments. With everyone concerned declining to comment, the Washington Post was left to speculation as to the why, citing the claims of foreign entities that they had Kushner in the bag (China, Israel, Mexico and United Arab Emirate identified by name). The foreign influence potential is not a figment of one's imagination, it is a constant in every instance and if the classifying authority decides that an individual should not have access to a specific piece of intelligence due to a potential foreign influence, they may deny the individual access. Normally it is case-by-case instances and not a blanket denial.
2019 regurgitation of Kushner's clearance adjudication
In late-January 2019, NBC News revisited the story of Kushner's clearance adjudication and also takes a swipe at the CIA's pushback on SCI compartmentation. They note that "anonymous" sources advised their reporters that individuals in the White House personnel security office had provided the director of that office with their advice on the May 2018 adjudication of Kushner. NBC tells us that advice was to not provide Kushner a permanent Top Secret clearance.
As we noted in our own piece in March 2018, Kushner's depth of foreign interaction raised a number of "foreign influence" questions, and media reports of his being in the pocket of various countries would drive most toward a recommendation of "this is just too murky to proceed." Apparently, that is what occurred, and the director of the personnel security office, also a career civil servant, having assumed his GS-15 position in May 2017, reviewed the materials from his subordinates and as the ultimate CSA granted Kushner's Top Secret clearance.
NBC continues revisiting the SCI question, highlighting how the CIA controls that access, though many would beg to differ, as SCI and HCS (HUMINT Control System) designations can be found across multiple organizations under the umbrella of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to include the Pentagon, National Security Agency and the CIA. Generally speaking, access to either SCI or HCS requires a Single Scope Background Investigation, which normally would include a polygraph within the intelligence community. Absent details from the NBC sleuths it is difficult to understand the breadth of the denial. What is clear is that Kushner is still on the job, functioning as the advisor to the president.
Should Kushner have been cleared?
Without access to the plethora of data obtained by the FBI during the background investigation and visibility into the depth of information revealed on Kushner's SF-86 and during the many subsequent interviews by the investigators with Kushner to understand his complex foreign business interests and entanglements, we would be making nothing more than a wild guess.
For now, the SCA at the White House has adjudicated Kushner as being trustworthy at the Top Secret level and apparently (thought no evidence has been provided) members of the intelligence community who control the SCI/HCS compartmented information have withheld their permission for Kushner to read into some of their programs.

What kind of person compares themselves to Joan Of Arc? A very naughty boy. And he's not coming out.
Johnny Marr was once quoted as saying that he was going for his equivalent of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" with this track and you can definitely hear and feel that in its structure with the pace it drives at (seldom was the band so galloping) and the huge pay off that comes with the chorus. The closer you listen to the composition, the grander/larger it gets.
The tenth single released by the band "Big Mouth Strikes" came as part of a three song package with "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" and "Rubber Ring" addressing the relationship of their art with the industry that was packaging and distributing it.
Of course the bigmouth is Morrissey himself. Feeling somewhat slated and harshly judged he just went for it with full sarcasm holding the belief that with many he was damned whatever he said or did. So on that note, why bother, just strike again. Bitchy.
Perhaps more popular with the band than the public, Marr was quoted as saying at the completion his thoughts were "this is why I'm in a band".
On the other side is "Money Changes Everything" which feels an appropriate statement considering the context and relationship with Rough Trade at the time.
Originally Kirsty MacColl recorded backing vocals for the song but they scrapped when deemed "too weird". Instead they used "Ann Coates" which was Morrissey putting his own vocal through a harmoniser to sound like a chipmunk. No, that wasn't weird at all.
That classic moment when a dark piece of humour is taken the wrong way by a partner.
James Dean is on the cover.

As part of NOAA's Coastal Storm Awareness Program, ten social science research and related technology transfer projects were funded to improve public response to coastal storm hazard information. In one of these studies, Marlon et al. (2015) found that the majority of coastal Connecticut residents (70%) are either unsure or unaware if their home is in an evacuation zone as determined by flood maps developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and 74% of coastal Connecticut residents have never seen an evacuation map for their local community.
In order to provide information on evacuation zones, local evacuation routes and customized municipal preparedness, Connecticut Sea Grant and UConn CLEAR developed a Coastal Storm Story Map. A story map is a tool developed by the software company, Esri, that allows one to combine interactive online maps with text, images and videos to tell a story. This story map provides information on evacuation zones and local evacuation routes, as well as links to sign up for town emergency alerts. Piloted with four coastal towns, our goal is to have information for all coastal and riverine communities throughout the state. If any town is interested in providing evacuation route and shelter information for the story map, please contact Juliana Barrett at email@example.com.
As a reminder that major hurricanes can hit the Connecticut coast, the story map includes historic aerial photographs and stories from the Hurricane of 1938 which caused massive devastation throughout much of Long Island, NY and New England. This information provides graphic illustration of the powerful flooding and destruction that can accompany such a storm. Also provided are numerous links and resources for storm preparedness from household paperwork to pet safety.

Tomorrow my folks take off for a well-deserved vacation. The children and I are first on the roster for house-sitting duty. It is one of the reasons I am currently out-of-state. The kids got to see their grandparents for a week, now begins Phase II.
I have been spoiled as hell. My dad fixed the kids breakfast in the mornings. If I needed to make a run to the store, he was willing to watch them for a bit. Now starts the five day run on my own. I am sure we will survive, but there are a few key issues I am not thrilled about. The most important of which is their old cat. Or rather, my old cat from college whom I adopted in 1992.
The poor thing is on his last legs and has been since last summer. He has become more and more frail, and as my parents have a history of refusing to act like grownups and do what is best for a suffering animal this promises to be a long, drawn-out experience.
Therefore, part of my instructions for taking care of the house include burying the cat. It would be one thing for my dad to dig a giant hole in the backyard, but that would be far too simple. My father, in his infinite wisdom, has instructed me to encase the cat in concrete. Yes. I just said that.
I have been taken out to the garage, shown the bag of Quick-Set, shown the large box in which to entomb him, and listened to my parents argue whether or not to wrap the cat in a plastic grocery bag before I submerge him in the wet concrete.
You just can't make this shit up.
I have a lump in my stomach and am begging the animal-gods-that-be to please, please let me make it through these next five days without my children finding a stone-dead cat on the floor. My daughter still cries about the cat that died last year, and she wasn't even here when it happened. How am I going to explain that what looks like a groovy art project isn't for tracing handprints or initials.

Cement Shoes of the Worst Kind
Tomorrow my folks take off for a well-deserved vacation. The children and I are first on the roster for house-sitting duty. It is one of the reasons I am currently out-of-state. The kids got to see their grandparents for a week, now begins Phase II.

Holy shit.
Hon? Do you need me to come down, take him to the vet, do the deed, have him cremated, and mix his ashes with the cement? Dad will never know. Seriously.

I mean not to mock the difficulty of this situation - but, are you serious? This is conspicuous duty in the face parental difficulty. Good luck.

I'm with CMGD on this one - cremate and mix the ashes.
As you are smart (and I'm not blowing smoke up your ass) I'm sure you have thought of this but just in case you haven't: you'll want to fill the box half way, put the cat in, then top it off. Don't try to sink the cat in a box of wet cement. I doubt it would be very successful.

Oh. My. Gosh.
I hope the cat hangs in there.
What on earth are they going to do with the entombed cat anyway?

@CMGD: I'd thought about this already, but so far so good. Luckily, out vet down here has been kept in business solely by my parents. I think they'd help me out in a pinch.
@AFreeMan: I figured this was right up your alley.
@Joe: You should see what we did with the alligator.
@RestaurantRefugee: Serious as a heart attack. And I need all the luck people can give me.
@Tuli: Thanks for the advice. I am hoping I don't have to go there.
@BvB: I'd tell you, but then I'd have to bury you in a slab of concrete.
@Lindsay: Apparently my father things it is easier to bury a concrete slab.
@Krishanna: I think they ought to cremate him and scatter the ashes, but who the hell ever listens to me?

It it was me, and the cat died. I would take him to the shelter and just make the cement block. Who would know?

How to make the best weed butter known to man!
The Magic behind Magical Butter
Marijuana is now widely used in the medical world in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, ailments and for pain reduction. Weed is no longer viewed as a dangerous addictive substance after several medical studies conducted to prove its medical benefits to patients suffering from, cancer, MS, hypertension and others have turned up trumps. With this development, cannabis based butter is gaining popularity as an alternative to smoking cannabis for home treatment. Here is some information that you need to know about this magical butter.
How Magical is Magical Butter?
Weed or cannabis butter is easy to make with the aid of a new device called Magical Butter that can be bought from the companies website. It has the ability to concoct the butter without standing for long periods, there is no sweating out when stirring in front of the stove, no dangerous fire risk and no messing around with butane. The typical process I have used to make weed butter used to take a day or two in order to get a decent batch, now it takes me around 3 hours with the new Magical Butter machine. And it is not just butter, you can make tinctures, oil and other concoctions with this machine, and of course you don't have to use weed.
All you have to do is to prepare the weed and its accompanying ingredients, put them inside the machine and cover it firmly after you have chosen what type of product you are going to produce. Let it work for an hour or two, depending on the type of recipe that you have selected, two hours later hey presto..time to get high.

ABC, NBC, CBS: Biden, Biden, he's our man!
Some startling revelations from a Senate hearing this week were totally ignored by the major broadcast networks – to no one's surprise, says a media watchdog.
A pastor is urging the Southern Baptist Convention to take a stand next month against the social justice movement and its liberal worldview.
Grady Arnold, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Cuero, Texas, has submitted a proposal to the SBC resolutions committee for the annual meeting, scheduled for June 12-13 in Dallas.
The proposals are given to the committee, which can accept them and present them to the convention "messengers" that represent Southern Baptist congregations.
Arnold writes in the resolution that "social justice by definition is based on anti-biblical and destructive concepts of Marxist ideology."
The pastor's main concern with "social justice," he says, is the idea of "privileges" that must be reapportioned and redistributed by the Left, an idea that Arnold likens to Marxist ideas of redistribution.
"It's a very damning theology and ideology," he warns, "and it's very dangerous to bring it into the church."
The "social justice" movement has a far-left following on college campuses, breathing new life into 1960s-era hatred of the West and the Founding Fathers, capitalism and a free market.
More recently, a similar ideology has been used to whack opponents of illegal immigration as racists for not welcoming illegal aliens into the U.S., using scripture to lecture about welcoming the "stranger."
Arnold's resolution, which can be viewed here, cites the example of a "Christian Privilege" workshop that was held recently at a college campus.
He also claims a "social justice agenda" has become "pervasive" at SBC seminaries and state conventions.
Arnold also aims his resolution at Russell Moore (pictured at right), the controversial leader of the SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, claiming that Moore recently defended and promoted the concept.
Arnold submitted the resolution, he tells OneNewsNow, after observing a gradual, under-the-radar shift toward "social justice" in the world's largest Protestant denomination.
"I'm very concerned that the embracing of the social justice agenda will hurt the Southern Baptist Convention. It won't help it," he says.
5/16/2018 - Editorial corrections made.
