    The Hidden Role Informal Caregivers Play in Health Care

    Welding 101

    Welding 101

    In general, and compared to other common building materials, metals have excellent mechanical properties. They are hard, tough, strong, and durable.

So you can see why it would be advantageous to have a way to connect them together, especially if you can do it in such a way that joint isn’t the weakest part of your assembly. That’s the goal of welding, and luckily, this is not something reserved for industrial factories and machine shops. From my own experiences so far, welding is something you might be able to do yourself as a hobby. And stay tuned till the end for some tips for getting started.

Thach argues that the collective success mindset so often seen in refugee communities, and today's competitive capitalist business culture are not at odds -- in fact, they are complementary.
