What were your New Year's Resolutions? Was being a volunteer for a local non-profit organization one of them? More and more people start thinking about helping others in need as they enter a new year, but the big question is--How can I help and where can I do it?

Every small to medium-size business in the country right now is continually looking for qualified people to fill jobs whether it's a doctor or a plumber. Plumbers make good money, so why is there a shortage of them throughout the country right now? Why aren't young people gravitating toward this lucrative and secure career and how can educators work together to fill this ever-growing pipeline for qualified plumbers?

Easter is a religious holiday, but some of its customs, such as Easter eggs, are likely linked to pagan traditions. The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.
