It’s a common mistake when soldering together copper pipe. First timers make the mistake of heating the solder, not the copper, reasoning that they’re going to just melt the solder into the joint. |
It doesn’t work that way. The torch will certainly melt the solder, but it won’t flow into the joint. The key is to heat the copper until it’s hot enough to melt the solder. When that happens, the solder will wick into the joint. Have a look here for more info. |

WASHINGTON, DC –U.S. Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) has backed the Trump Administration’s decision to extend Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for qualified people from Liberia for one year, through March 31, 2020, and is calling for Congress to enact a more permanent legislative resolution. |
Senator Reed is the author of S. 456, the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act, to end the perpetual limbo for Liberians here in the United States and ensure our national security interest in fostering Liberia’s recovery. This bill provides legal status and a pathway to citizenship for qualifying Liberians. He als... |
The West African nation of Liberia, which was founded in 1822 by freed slaves from the United States, was plagued by two brutal civil wars in the 1990s and more recently by a major Ebola outbreak. As part of its humanitarian response, the United States offered certain Liberians an opportunity to live, work, and pay tax... |
However, last year, President Trump announced that DED for Liberian beneficiaries would expire on March 31, 2019. |
Trump’s announcement today means Liberians who have been legally living in the United States may stay another 12 months without a threat of deportation, bringing a protracted effort by Senator Reed to secure the extension to a positive conclusion. If President Trump had not approved the DED extension, many Liberians co... |
Many of the Liberians living in the United States who received this DED extension fled Liberia when it was engulfed in two bloody civil wars from 1989 to 1997 and 1999 to 2003 that killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced more than half of the population. Since then, many Liberians built new lives in Rhode ... |
Rhode Island has one of the largest populations of Liberians per capita, and Senator Reed has been working since 1999 to allow this community to legally remain in the United States. Many members of the Liberian community in the United States financially assist families and communities back in Liberia and make important... |
HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Since my last LifePoints article six months ago, I have thought about suffering and adversity more than usual. This does not arise out my own pain, but rather it grows out of the suffering of those I love. |
A dear cousin, Bobby Lockhart, has been a paraplegic for 30 years following an unfortunate accident when he was only 17 years old. It was a tragic event that was not his fault - he just happened to be in path of a neighborhood shooting in Birmingham. |
Yet Bobby has remained one of the most optimistic persons I have ever known. Across these 30 years, my thoughts and prayers have searched for the "why" in this and similar situations. My questioning has not been "why" this happened to Bobby, but rather, "why has he responded with such a hopeful attitude?" |
Recently in my casual reading, I ran across a quote by an unknown author that shed light on this question. "In adversity we usually want God to do a removing job, when He wants to do an improving job." |
That's it! Although God never "removed" Bobby's paralysis and suffering, he has surely "improved" the spiritual quality of his life. |
What a lesson this is for me! It tells me that spiritual well-being is not inextricably linked to physical condition. Our lives can be joyous even in the midst of adversity and suffering. In fact, when personal tragedy causes our lives to reel and rock, God is still faithfully working to "improve" our spiritual health. |
Pain, suffering and adversity are not necessarily roadblocks to our spiritual journeys - unless we resign ourselves to what I call the "poor me complex."First Peter 4:19 (NIV) reminds us: "So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." |
It is natural for us to ask God to remove suffering - but it must also become "natural" for us to accept God's will-even when we do not understand his "improving work." I once heard a preacher say that we have to trust God - even when we can't trace him! |
Although suffering and adversity are not good, God promises that He will use it to accomplish good. What a concept - God working out of our sight for our good. |
It seems that James Russell Lowell summed up this idea in The Present Crisis, when he wrote words that have been set to the beloved hymn: "Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his ... |
Yes, even in times of pain, suffering and adversity, God's eye is on us. |
My cousin Bobby Lockhart has taught me how to reconcile suffering and rejoicing. He has taught me that God often improves spiritual health in the midst of physical suffering. He has taught me that a "thorn in the flesh" can become a vehicle for spiritual growth and maturity. He has taught me that God's power is made pe... |

Q: I’m a first-time homebuyer using a Veterans Affairs (VA) loan with 100 percent financing. I’m having problems getting an offer accepted, as I’m competing with cash investors as well as other first-time buyers. Every property we find gets three to four offers on it by the day after it’s listed. |
A: With prices so low, and the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit deadline looming later this year, buyer competition has increased to the point where many homebuyers (first-time and otherwise) are running into multiple offers, over-asking sale prices and getting outbid on their target homes. |

Arby's new Reuben Super Stack is about twice the size of Arby's regular Reuben. |
Fast-food restaurants' push for protein has led Arby's to offer the new Mega Meat Stacks. |
The roast beef sandwich chain is introducing meat sandwiches that are at least twice the size of regular versions. |
The limited-time offers include a Reuben Super Stack featuring corned beef, turkey, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing. There's also a Triple Stack with turkey, roast beef, pepper bacon, lettuce and tomato. |
Each of the new creations will cost $5.49 each, averaging about 50 cents more than Arby's regular sandwiches. |
Arby's is responding to two big industry trends -- more protein and extreme sandwiches, according to Mary Chapman, the director of product innovation at Technomic, a fast food research company. |
"This is an in-your-face way of saying to the public: look what we've got," said Technomic's Chapman. |
The new Mega Meat Stacks are being touted in a TV ad campaign featuring tough-guy actor Ving Rhames. |
The chain is trying to distinguish itself in a crowded fast-food field led by McDonald's (MCD). Arby's had $3 billion in sales last year, while McDonald's had roughly $30 billion in sales. |

On Friday afternoon, about 30 Rackham students and post-doctoral fellows attended a conversation about student-led diversity initiatives and inclusivity with Damon Williams, author and chief catalyst for Strategic Diversity Leadership & Social Innovation. The conversation took place during the Rackham Diversity, Equity... |
The symposium aimed to create a sense of community among DEI leaders and highlight the work Rackham students are doing to make the school more inclusive and accepting. The event was also run by the Professional Development DEI Certificate Program, which began in 2017 and prepares Rackham students to become engaged with... |
As chief catalyst, Williams works with universities, companies and government agencies to develop programs that increase diversity and promote his theory of “inclusive excellence” in higher education. |
Deborah Willis, Rackham’s academic program manager for professional and academic involvement, helped coordinate Friday’s discussion. She said one of the goals of the symposium was to demonstrate how critical diversity is for students studying at the graduate level. |
Williams opened the conversation by giving students a brief background on his childhood in inner-city Dayton, Ohio and years at Western Reserve Academy, a private boarding school in Hudson, Ohio. Williams, whose parents were teenagers when he was born, said he grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood where he rare... |
Williams also discussed how boarding school exposed him to diversity for the first time and made him more aware of his own privileges and disadvantages as a black man in an elite private school. He said this experience and his choice to write his high school senior thesis on Malcolm X and Black Muslims motivated him to... |
After telling audience members about his background and personal reasons for getting involved in DEI work, Williams opened the floor to questions from Rackham students and faculty. |
In response to a question asked by a student who said she often feels discouraged in her field because she doesn't often see others who look like her, Williams said his relationship with Ronald Taylor, a former professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut, taught him that one person can have an impact but ca... |

Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday that it will ease its weeks-old air and sea blockade of Yemen amid outcry from the United Nations and humanitarian groups. |
The Saudi-led coalition announced that it would reopen the port in Hudaydah to allow in humanitarian relief, and would begin allowing U.N. aircraft to use the airport in Sanaa, Yemen's capital city, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency. |
The Saudis tightened a military blockade on Yemen earlier this month, completely shutting off ports and airports, after the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group fired a missile deep into Saudi Arabia before it was intercepted near the airport in Riyadh, the country's capital. |
Saudi and U.S. officials determined that the missile had been manufactured in Iran. |
But the blockade also made worse a growing humanitarian crisis in Yemen, cutting the country's citizens off from receiving key humanitarian aid, including medicine and food. |
The heads of the World Food Program, UNICEF and the World Health Organization warned in a joint statement last week that the situation in Yemen had become increasingly dire, and urged the Saudi-led coalition to open the country up to humanitarian relief. |
"All of the country’s ports – including those in areas held by the opposition – should be reopened without delay," the agency heads said. "This is the only way that UN-chartered ships can deliver the vital humanitarian cargo that the population needs to survive." |
The blockade, according to the agencies, has put seven million people on the verge of famine. |
Saudi Arabia began reopening some ports and airports last week. But the port at Hudaydah, Yemen's main entry point for humanitarian aid, remained shuttered. |
