This winter has been a little bit more bearable for thousands of Cumbrian households thanks to the advice, practical support and financial assistance made possible by the Cumbrian Warm Homes Partnership. The partnership, made up of Cumbria County Council and a host of other local authorities, charities and organisations, was set up in October 2011. As well as offering helpful advice to thousands through campaigns such as "Keeping the brrrr out of Cumbria", they have also helped hundreds of households with practical help and financial assistance though a range of projects and support mechanisms.
Over 3,000 local households have received a home energy health check via the Cumbria Affordable Warmth Project. The survey is free and for many households the cost of work, such as loft and cavity wall insulation, is also free. As a result of the project, over 1,500 energy efficiency measures have been installed in homes across the county.
Although winter is now over, Tom Barlow from the Cumbria Affordable Warmth Project is keen to remind people that they can still make an application to this project. He said:
"We haven't had a particularly harsh winter this year and so people may not have worried so much about heating bills. However, the assistance that we can offer will help keep homes warmer for many years to come.
"Cumbrians have a strong sense of pride, but this pride is stopping lots of homes from taking what is rightfully theirs and getting their homes insulated. Every home in Cumbria contributes to the cost of these schemes through their energy bills, but it's those who need it the most who are the least likely to take advantage of free insulation.
"In October this year the Government will introduce the new Green Deal, and from that point onwards homes will pay around £450 for loft insulation and £600 for cavity wall insulation. These costs may be added directly onto the individual household electric bill so now really is the time to take advantage of these free or discounted measures."
If you are over 60, or have a child under the age of five who permanently resides in your household then, from April onwards, you can also get free insulation through the Cumbria Warm Homes Plus offer, along with anyone who lives in private rented accommodation, through the Warmer Rented Homes scheme.
Insulation not only keeps homes warmer it helps to reduce the cost of the energy bill in the home, just one phone call to 0800 328 8419 will give local residents access to all of these services.
Two projects were also set up to provide practical help and financial support specifically for vulnerable people such as the elderly, families with young children, and people with disabilities or poor health. These were made possible by the partnership's successful bid to the Government's Warm Homes Healthy People Fund.
The winter warmth fund, managed by the Cumbria Community Foundation, has issued 660 cash grants totalling £122,000 and this is expected to rise to £144,000 by the end of April.
The project has also issued £92,000 in grants to organisations targeting winter warmth including areas such as a breakfast club for homeless people and family advice centres.
Hot spots, managed by Cumbria Rural Enterprise Agency, was set up specifically to provide fast financial help to repair heating systems and boilers. To date they have had 135 applications for assistance which have led to 51 services of heating systems and 30 boiler repairs with a further 45 repairs in the pipeline. The value of the work undertaken to date is almost £71,500.
Hot spot funding is available up until June 30 so again people are being encouraged to apply and prepare their heating systems for next winter.
Cllr James Airey, Cumbria County Council's Cabinet member for Adult Social Care, said:
"It's wonderful to hear that we've been able to help so many Cumbrian households keep warm this winter. This is especially important with regard to the more vulnerable members of the community who may need this support more than others. This is a fine example of what can be achieved when organisations work together.
"As has been proven recently, our weather continues to surprise us and, of course, prevention is better than cure, so I would urge our residents do take advantage of these offers when they are available."
For more information call 0800 328 8419.

Asperger's Disorder is being put in the spotlight once more because of a change in the syndrome's designation.
According to a press release sent by the FirstHealth of the Carolina's, Asperger's Disorder is a lifelong condition that can stabilize over time.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, Asperger's symptoms are: having trouble understanding other people's feelings or talking about their own feelings, having a hard time understanding body language, avoiding eye contact, wanting to be alone, or wanting to interact, but not know how, having narrow, sometimes obsessive, interests, talking only about themselves and their interests, speaking in unusual ways or with an odd tone of voice, having a hard time making friends, seeming nervous in large social groups, clumsiness or awkwardness, having rituals that they refuse to change, such as a very rigid bedtime routine, developing odd or repetitive movements, and having unusual sensory reactions.
Asperger's Disorder was first discovered in the 1940s by Viennese pediatrician Hans Asperger, according to the Autism Society. He observed autistic-like behaviors and difficulties with social and communication skills in boys who had normal intelligence and language development. Many professionals felt Asperger's Disorder was simply a milder form of autism and used the term "high-functioning autism" to describe these individuals.
The differences between Asperger's Disorder and Autism are the less severe symptoms and the absence of language delays that are associated with Asperger's Disorder.
"They don't pick up on subtleties of communication," said David Ruck, M.D and a board certified psychiatrist with FirstHealth of the Carolinas.
He said, "They don't understand jokes and puns."
Ruck is affiliated with both the Moore Regional Hospital and Richmond Memorial Hospital in Rockingham, according to Emily Sloan, Assistant Director of Public Relations for FirstHealth of the Carolinas.
Despite these differences between the two, with the May 2013 publication of the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition), Asperger's syndrome will lose its designation as an independent diagnosis and take a place on the autism spectrum. Because of the change, many parents are concerned that their child will lose access to critical educational and treatment opportunities.
Asperger's syndrome, said Ruck, is a complicated condition that can have many symptoms and involve numerous treatment approaches. And, he points out, contrary to the fears of some parents of Asperger's children, its imminent autism grouping shouldn't have any effect on access to available services.
"It's going to make diagnostic clarity," he said of the change.
Created by the American Psychiatric Association, the DSM is a common-language guide of mental health disorders that outlines causes and related information as well as some research on treatment options. Many mental health professionals use the manual to determine and help communicate a diagnosis after an evaluation, and American hospitals, clinics and insurance companies generally require a five-level (axis) DSM diagnosis.
Under the current DSM-IV manual, children can be diagnosed either as having autistic disorder, Asperger's syndrome or PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder — Not Otherwise Specified). In the new manual, however, all three disorders will fall under the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Ruck agrees with mental health professionals and advocates who expect the change in status will be a positive one that could actually lead to an increase in services by clearing up ambiguities in diagnosis and treatment.
"It's not expected to make a significant difference in educational services," Ruck said. "It's going to tighten up the criteria and get everybody reading off the same sheet of music."
Asperger's syndrome was thrust into the national spotlight in December 2012 with reports that the alleged gunman in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings had been diagnosed with the condition and that it somehow contributed to factors that led to the slayings of 26 students and school personnel. However, Ruck believes the attack required a level of planning and violence that is just as rare in individuals with Asperger's as it is in the general population.
"In general, a kid with Asperger's is no more likely than anyone else to show this explosive, targeted behavior," Ruck said.

Union wants violent cons to stay put
SPRINGFIELD (AP) — The union representing Illinois correctional workers is demanding a stop to what it says is the transfer of violent maximum-security prison inmates to less-secure lockups.
The letter sent Wednesday and obtained by The Associated Press was addressed to Department of Corrections Director S.A. "Tony" Godinez.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees says in one instance up to 15 inmates were being moved to medium-security prisons. The inmates allegedly beat two guards and a chaplain at Menard prison last week.

Starwood Launches Round-the-Clock Check-In
One of the bigger drags in travel is that airline arrival times hardly ever seem to coordinate with most hotels' set check-in times. To arrive groggy and grimy from a long-haul flight and be denied access to some R & R in bed (with rooms traditionally held until 3pm) is just no way to start a trip. Thankfully, Starwood is setting some new rules when it comes to checking in, at least for their super-elite Platinum Starwood Preferred Guests. Their new Your24 policy allows Platinum SPG guests to ignore normally set check-in and checkout times in favor of whatever time they choose. Hallelujah.
We know what you're thinking: How is this concept only now being introduced, and how do you achieve platinum status? Platinum SPG members entitled to Your24 are those who spend at least 75 nights at any Starwood Hotels in a calendar year. Starwood Hotels include brands Westin, St. Regis, W Hotels, The Luxury Collection, aloft, Le Meridien, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheratom, and Element. Still, that's a toughie, even for the most avid travelers, but its certainly incentive to build up those Starpoints. We sure hope this is a trend that catches on and perhaps extends to us lowly, regular old SPG members, too. www.starwoodhotels.com

A National Geographic poll found that 65% of Americans surveyed thought that Obama would be more equipped at dealing with such an attack.
The TV channel's survey asked 1,114 Americans questions about all-things alien ahead of its show Chasing UFOs.
68% of women and 61% of men said that they thought Obama would cope with an alien onslaught better than Romney.
Also, just over a third of participants said that they believed in aliens.

Green teas popular herbs and health alternative
Currently popular herbs in the form of green teas at your nearby grocery superstore goes by the name of Hoodia tea.
Hoodia with green tea is a green tea herb supplement which is used universally not only to help with weight loss and physically improve the body, but as well to prevent and even cure diseases.
The ingredient hoodia itself is not green tea herbs .
Hoodia is only one ingredient and its only purpose is to decrease appetite. The green tea herbs extract is the only valuable health ingredient in this product.
The way that Hoodia with green tea works is that it uses the green tea extract to clear your body of any toxins, so that you may almost immediately begin to feel results after starting on the product since you will feel refreshed and healthier. Pure green tea is a very healthy alternative to other popular drinks.
It is all the antioxidants that are present from the green tea extract that helps your body develop a healthy immune system. Used as a preventative method Green tea extract works against diseases such as the common cold, the flu, and serious ones, such as cancer. It is definitely a drink of choice for those seeking a healthy immune system.
You must understand though the green tea extract in Hoodia Tea let alone any other mass produced grocery store product – is not concentrated enough to actually cure or prevent something as serious as cancer. Yes, there are claims that it has been proven to help treat cancer and those who take green tea extract regularly are considered to be at much less risk of getting cancer later on in their life.
Buying herbs online- How will you know if a herbal product is pure?
There are widespread reports of counterfeit hoodia products. Mike Adams of News Target, estimates that 80% of hoodia products are contaminated or counterfeit. It's impossible to know if a hoodia product contains pure hoodia and the active ingredient, unless it has been tested by an independent laboratory.
The best answer to being safe is to always err on the cautious side. Whether purchasing at a herb store or purchasing herbs online make certain you are dealing with a creditable herb manufacture. We have done that for you at http://herbsonlinehere.com by ensuring that our sponsors are accredited long term businesses and they comply with food and health regulations set by government.
Green Tea Options
There are many options that you have in this regards to the selection of green teas, you have many other choices as well. Green tea pills, cold and hot green tea drinks, and green tea supplements of almost any shape and color are but a few of the options . One such option is a green tea product from Native remedies. Bio-Oxidate Defense™
Ingredients of Bio-Oxidate Defense™
Bio-Oxidate Defense contains a selection of herbs high in antioxidant properties that are well-known for their supportive function in maintaining healthy cellular processes. It is a 100% herbal formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Grape seed extract, Green tea, Rooibos, Resveratrol.
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis)
Used as a supportive tonic and has powerful anti-oxidant properties, mainly due to its superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic properties. SOD is an enzyme in the body that is especially designed to neutralize unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals) as soon as they occur, and systemic SOD can therefore help to promote health. (Standley L, Winterton P, Marnewick JL, et al. "Influence of processing stages on antimutagenic and antioxidant potentials of rooibos tea". J Agric Food Chem 2001;49:114–7). D1997;11(Suppl. 3):128–30.)
Grape seed extract (vitis vinifera)
Is a potent natural source of proanthocyanidins and of pycnogenols a naturally powerful antioxidant. The way in which these versatile compounds are distinct from flavonoids is their simple chemical structure, which allows them to be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. OPC's are also active against both fat and water-soluble oxidants. Simonetti P, Ciappellano S, Gardana C, Bramati L, Pietta P. "Procyanidins from Vitis vinifera seeds: in vivo effects on oxidative stress". J Agric Food Chem. 2002 Oct 9;50(21):6217-21). Grape seed extract has also been investigated for its affect on free radicals and thus its promotion of health. Bagchi D, Bagchi M, Stohs SJ, Das DK, Ray SD, Kuszynski CA, Joshi SS, Pruess HG. "Free radicals and grape seed proanthocyanidin extract: importance in human health and disease prevention". Toxicology. 2000 Aug 7;148(2-3):187-97.)
Green tea (Camellia sinensis)
Is the tea plant, the plant species whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea. White tea, green tea, oolong and black tea are all harvested from this species, but are processed differently to attain different levels of oxidation. Green tea contains levels of substances called catechin polyphenols, known to possess strong antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antitumorigenic, and even antibiotic properties.
Is a naturally occurring hydroxystilbene identified in over seventy plant species.
These ingredients combined in the product Bio-Oxidate Defense support the body's ability to fight harmful free radicals, thereby helping to maintain routine healthy performance of bodily systems.

2004 photograph released to the public shows human remains at Titanic shipwreck site
This photo provided by the Institute for Exploration, Center for Archaeological Oceanography/University of Rhode Island/NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration, shows The remains of a coat and boots, articulated in the mud on the sea bed near Titanic's stern, are suggestive evidence of where a victim of the disaster came to rest. AP Photo/Institute for Exploration, Center for Archaeological Oceanography/University of Rhode Island/NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration.
Human remains may be embedded in the mud of the North Atlantic where the New York-bound Titanic came to rest when it sank 100 years ago, a federal official said Saturday.
A 2004 photograph, released to the public for the first time this week in an uncropped version to coincide with the disaster's centenary, shows a coat and boots in the mud at the legendary shipwreck site.
"These are not shoes that fell out neatly from somebody's bag right next to each other," James Delgado, the director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration, told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
The way they are "laid out" makes a "compelling case" that it is where "someone has come to rest," he said.
The image, along with two others showing pairs of boots resting next to each other, were taken during an expedition led by NOAA and famed Titanic finder Robert Ballard in 2004. They were published in Ballard's book on the expedition. Delgado said the one showing a coat and boots was cropped to show only a boot.
The New York Times first reported about the photographs in Saturday editions.
Filmmaker James Cameron, who has visited the wreck 33 times, told the newspaper that he had seen "zero human remains" during his extensive explorations of the Titanic. "We've seen shoes. We've seen pairs of shoes, which would strongly suggest there was a body there at one point. But we've never seen any human remains."
For Delgado, who was the chief scientist on an expedition in 2010 that mapped the entire site, the difference in opinion is "one of semantics."
"I as an archaeologist would say those are human remains," he said, referring to the photograph of the coat and boots specifically. "Buried in that sediment are very likely forensic remains of that person."
He said in an email that the images "speak to the power of that tragic and powerful scene 2 ½ miles below" and "to its resilience as an undersea museum, as well as its fragility."
"This is an appropriate time to note the human cost of that event, and the fact that in this special place at the bottom of the sea, evidence of the human cost, in the form of the shattered wreck, the scattered luggage, fittings and other artifacts, and the faint but unmistakable evidence that this is where people came to rest, is present," he said.
He said the images are also evidence that society could do a better job protecting the site.
There has been a long fight to protect the Titanic since it was rediscovered by Ballard in 1985, beginning with a federal law passed by Congress aimed at creating an international agreement to transform the shipwreck into an international maritime memorial. Sen. John Kerry introduced what some observers see as stronger legislation April 1 aimed at protecting the site from "salvage and intrusive research."
But the luxury liner, which went down April 14, 1912, after striking an iceberg, sits in international waters, limiting what the U.S. government can do.
Delgado said an international treaty would need to be negotiated between Britain, Canada, France and the U.S.

Bottomley: Owning your Windows 8 UEFI Platform
Posted Feb 22, 2013 9:59 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
The code running in the BIOS itself has, until EFI, been limited to 16-bit real mode.
You are woefully out of date. The code running in BIOS was confined by the 16-bit real mode long-long ago, but for the last 20 years at least it's not limited by that at all. Only tiny piece of BIOS is actually implemented in that mode and it's mostly used to call the "real" multimegabyte thing.
You apparently know nothing neither about modern BIOS nor about EFI thus I find it puzzling that you feel that you can have meaningful discussion about them.
BIOS-to-EFI transition is much less abrupt then it feels at first glance: basically EFI just removes thin shim of IBM-PC BIOS style between real BIOS and OS and exposes the data structures BIOS writers used for years to OS directly.
Posted Feb 22, 2013 18:52 UTC (Fri) by zlynx (subscriber, #2285) [Link]
Grab a copy of your BIOS. Disassemble it. How much of it is in 16-bit real mode code and how much of it is in 32-bit protected mode code? Last time I did this, probably 10 years ago, none of it was.
Posted Feb 22, 2013 22:43 UTC (Fri) by etienne (subscriber, #25256) [Link]
Posted Feb 23, 2013 15:32 UTC (Sat) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
How much of it is in 16-bit real mode code and how much of it is in 32-bit protected mode code?
Significant chunk of it is for SMM mode which is 32-bit unprotected code with full access to 4GiB of address space. You can compile code for this mode with [relatively] modern compilers, etc. Yes, it's still weird mode (that's why EFI is going with normal 32/64-bit protected mode), but it's not 16-bit mode and it's programmed in C, not in assembler which means that the message which started the whole discussion (in BIOS there's limited amounts of RAM available and it all has to be written in 16-bit assembly) is factually wrong as mirabilos pointed out.
Posted Mar 1, 2013 1:09 UTC (Fri) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link]
Which has the unusual property that a decently competent programmer can make the Forth object code smaller than the equivalent assembly! Excellent for the old BIOSes where the BIOS chip size was measured in Kb not Mb.
Forth is also unusual in that it is pretty near impossible to code a GOTO :-) Most other languages have a goto, even if it's not normally necessary or used.
Cheers, Wol

I did it in Feb when I was 7 weeks and it came out pink (girl) but I lost the baby after few days so I really could not confirm the authenticity...
I do not know if they look for harmones level (my Progestrone level was in 90s) or PH levels ?
If you have tried it pls share your experience.

It is 100% a scam. There is NOTHING in urine that can tell you the sex of an unborn baby. Send me the money and I'll take a guess. It'll be just as accurate!

MAT-SU VALLEYS: Mountains, rivers and glaciers abound just a short jaunt north of anchorage.
By MELISSA DEVAUGHN
From atop Pioneer Peak, my nephew and I gazed at the view of the Matanuska Valley below. It seemed so far away, but to embark upon this hike -- in an area that now officially ranks as my all-time favorite Alaska hiking destination -- required only a short drive north from Anchorage.
That's the beauty of Mat-Su, known as the "Valley." Mountains, rivers and glaciers surround this rural oasis, yet it's still close to restaurants, lodging and other visitor amenities.
"What we have here is pioneer life right beside the highway," said Patty Sullivan, Matanuska-Susitna Borough public affairs director. "I've always loved that collision of urban and rural ... where people are running on a sled powered by dogs alongside a busy rush-hour commute by car. It does take you to a different sort of mentality."
The Valley also is the breadbasket of the state, dotted with picturesque barns surrounded by fields of green.
In 1935, during the Great Depression, the Federal Relief Administration sent struggling Midwesterners here to build new lives. They could keep the land, the government said, as long as they could make a living from it.
Many of those pioneers succeeded, transforming this distant wilderness into lush, green farms.
Today the Valley, composed of Palmer and the nearby community of Wasilla, has a heartland-U.S.A. vibe. The rich soil generates some of the state's best produce and much of it can be enjoyed at local eateries and farmers markets.
"There is more of a push for the farm-to-table (movement) and supporting local restaurants," said Casey Ressler of the Mat-Su Convention and Visitors Bureau. "When you eat here, you're not only supporting the restaurant but you're supporting the farmers."
Visitors to the Valley can experience this wholesome combination of fresh air and fresh food in any number of ways.
While hiking remains at the top of the recreational options -- the borough identified improved hiking access as one of its main priorities in a 2008 tourism needs study -- others abound. Sullivan said the borough touts its stillwater-fishing opportunities as some of the best in the country.
"We have something like 80 lakes all within an hour's reach," Sullivan said. "You only have to own a raft and a pole ... it's about the experience, not combat fishing."
Fly-fishermen can cast for Arctic char, rainbow trout, grayling and Dolly Varden as well as other species.
They should make sure to purchase an Alaska Department of Fish and Game license before heading out, and check out the borough's website, www.alaska-stillwatercapital.com, for fishing reports and lake access.
Canoeing, white-water rafting, mountain biking and birding are other options, Sullivan and Ressler noted.
In the winter, skiing, snowmobiling and dog mushing take center stage, keeping this rural area hopping with activity.
"For many people out here, at any hint of sunlight they're out the door," Sullivan said. "There's no question of housework -- there is no housework in summer. We're just that kind of place."

Dude, I'm sorry but I don't understand your question? You answered it yourself, white, yellow, orange, red. You're obviously drunk as hell, but if this pic helps then you're welcome.
The way I undestood the question he was asking for specific paint colors, ( ie mix formuals or the like) ? Maybe?
"I'm much to young to be this damn old!"
Empty Pockets-8115 Co Dawg
thats the way I read it too..
sorry no help, but Hock, I think you were even drunker. lol
We were with Toyota in the 90's and ran those colors. The only ones I remember were Chevy White, Corvette Yellow (but I cannot remember the year). If anyone knows how to get ahold of Chris Hugal I am sure he would remember.
haha yes i wasnt drunk but wanting to know what the colors came from.. thx championship that's some of the info i needed!
While were at it, does anyone have the picture of the 2007 Tundra with the Ivan paint scheme.
Sorry that I cant help with your question.
i didnt know the new tundra had that paint scheme either!
The newer colors were just black and white with paint and the red and 2 colors of grey were graphics. I know Tim @ Sign Pro's made us a couple sets of those graphics. He may still have the art work somewhere in his files?

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) — Middletown police have arrested a man wanted in connection with a shaken baby case.
Police arrested 31-year-old Keith Loftus Thursday night after receiving a complaint about someone trying to break into cars at the YMCA.
Old Saybrook police had issued an arrest warrant for Loftus earlier this week. He was wanted on charges of assault on an infant.
Investigators say Loftus was watching his girlfriend's 7-month-old in September when the child suffered injuries consistent with abuse, and later determined to be "shaken baby syndrome."
Authorities say Loftus and the child's mother, 26-year-old Crystal Dorothy of Old Saybrook, had lied about how the infant's injuries occurred.
Dorothy appeared in Middletown Superior Court Tuesday on charges including risk of injury to a minor.
Loftus is expected to appear in court Friday.

Can you feel it? There's a distinct swell in our pride in all things British. Something is definitely in the air. Whether it is the upcoming Queen's Diamond Jubilee or the Olympics I'm not sure, but there is definitely something happening. Even good old Marks and Spencer are proudly flying the flag in their new summer TV ad. Have you seen it? They've signed up Gary Barlow to sing Here Comes The Sun Now that might not be the most apt song given today's major snowfalls, but you can't deny the spirit behind it.
It could be a long time yet before Britain pulls itself out of the financial mire it is in, but there is a real optimism in the air, like we have all collectively decided to pull the country up by its boot-straps and make it great again.
The best way that we can do that is to support British manufacturing and British creative talent. Mary Portas has hit the nail right on the head. We have a wonderful textiles heritage, particularly in Oldham and the surrounding mill towns. It is a crying shame that the industry is all but gone, lost to cheap overseas manufacturing. Mary, champion of the British High Street, has rightly decided that this is a travesty and a tragedy and she is leading the way in doing something about it. She has brought jobs to a troubled area of Middleton and come up with a great product, Kinky Knickers, a product 100% made in Britain.
Kinky Knickers launched in several retailers last week and they are already like gold dust. Interest in them has no doubt been stirred up by the Channel 4 series, Mary's Bottom Line, but more than that she seems to have hit a patriotic chord with Britain's women. I love the fact Mary Portas is doing so much to support British manufacturing, but I also love the product and especially its glamorous vintage style packaging.
Vintage is huge right now. It makes us all nostalgic for better times. Why do you think Jude and I love it so much? Well, there is the glamour too of course. We all love a bit of glamour.
There is a massive amount of creative talent in this country and it needs to be supported. More than that, there's a massive amount of creative talent in this area. Lots and lots of small businesses, independent designers and makers. Supporting local businesses has long been a passion of mine, after all I have one and so does my husband.
There will never be a better time than 2012 to promote all things British. The eyes of the world are upon us this year and we can all do our bit. I know finance, or lack of it, is a key issue for many people, but if you can support a British business, or better yet a local one, then please consider doing so. Just think of the difference we could make.
At Lipgloss and Lenses we are trying to do our bit to promote British creative talent by organising a Vintage and Handmade Fair to mark the Jubilee weekend in Saddleworth. It will be held at Uppermill Civic Hall on Sunday 3rd June and will feature stalls from a number of renowned designer makers, local creative businesses and vintage sellers, plus a vintage tea room.
You can read more about the fair and other events happening that weekend on www.saddleworthvintage.co.uk. Please support us in supporting local manufacturing. Anyway, it'll be fun
With many thanks to our beautiful model, Charlie, who gamely posed for us in nothing but a Union Jack so that I could get on my soap box.

"Juggling many tasks…can divide attention and hurt learning and performance. Does it also hinder short-term memory? Research shows that multitasking takes a significantly greater toll on the working memory of older people. People between the ages of 60 and 80 have significantly more trouble remembering tasks after experiencing a brief interruption than do people in their 20s and 30s."

Below is the transcript for our podcast Work on Purpose, A New Career Book From Echoing Green's Lara Galinsky. You can listen to the show here.
AMY POTTHAST: Welcome to the Careers for Impact Podcast from Idealist.org, moving people from good intentions to action. I'm Amy Potthast, Director of Career Programs at Idealist. In today's episode Lara Galinsky, Senior Vice President of Echoing Green, chats about her inspiring new career guide for social impact work called Work on Purpose. Each chapter of Work on Purpose asks key questions for career seekers and illustrates these key questions in the lives of Echoing Green members. It also offers a place for notes and the end so you can jot down reflections from your own life.
Lara Discusses the central message of Work on Purpose: Finding work that uses heart + head = hustle, and she shares the stories of the five people who illustrate this message. First, Cherly Dorsey, President of Echoing Green, who graduated from medical school and the Kennedy School of Government who chose social justice over medicine. Second, Mark Hannis, founder of the Genocide Intervention Network, and a grandchild of Holocaust survivors who discovered as a college student that genocide still occurs and that he could mobilize action to end it. Third, Mardie Oakes, founder of Hallmark Community Solutions, combined her background in architecture, community housing, and finance to develop housing for people with special needs. Fourth, Socheata Poeuv, creator of the film project "Khmer Legacies, which documents interviews between Khmer Rouge survivors and their adult children. And finally, Andrew Youn, founder of the One Acre Fund. Andrew started out in a corporate consulting job but later used his business skills to develop a market system for farmers in a region of Kenya to prevent annual famines.
AMY: Welcome to the show, Lara!
LARA GALINSKY: Thank you very much, Amy!
AMY: I'd like to start out by having you introduce yourself and Echoing Green in general.
LARA: My pleasure! Once again my name is Lara Galinsky and I'm the Senior Vice President at an organization Called Echoing Green which most people assume is an environmental or sustainability focused organization. And in one way you could say that we are, but we're actually issue-area agnostic. We seed social change organizations around the world and try to build an ecosystem of change-making that engages key populations to push forward bold ideas to make the world a better place.
We're most well known for our seed fellowship program: The Echoing Green Fellowship, where we help support the launch of about 15 to 20 social change organizations across the world every year. We also provide start up funding and technical support. We've funded about 500 individuals who are launching organizations in 42 countries and many of them have grown to scale such as Teach for America, City Year, and Public Allies, and others around the world.
AMY: Wow that's incredible! And when you say funding for key audiences to make change, who are the people being identified.
LARA: Sure, yeah. So we - in building this ecosystem of change-making -- we identify key relations that we are think are critical to engage to help push forth the work of social innovators. One of them is exactly why we wrote the book which is young people who are making career decisions now and figuring out how they want to show up in this world. And the reason why we think it's incredibly important to engage young people, people who are kind of in college who are kind of in their first ten years of developing their career.
In our research, and in my own personal research, we have found that there are tens of thousands of social entrepreneurs in the world. But we believe there are tens of millions of young people who want to have a meaningful impact driven career. If we can help inspire and provide frameworks to young people as they're going through the career pathing process then we're - especially those on the edge who don't know what to do - providing inspiration to them. It's also sort of legitimizer as decisions are made around the kind of path one will take--then we believe that they are a worth contribution to the field.
AMY: I totally agree. In our work at Idealist we found that over and over again that the onramp to social impact careers is just so hidden among so many choices. I'm really excited that you guys have developed this book, which I think clearly lays out five different stories about people who have found their trail head, so to speak.
LARA: Yes, exactly!
AMY: Do you want to introduce Work on Purpose?
LARA: Our Echoing Green second book is called Work on Purpose. It tells the story of five change makers. In particular these are five people that I personally know well because they are in the immediate Echoing Green family. It explains a framework of how you can have an impact-driven, meaningful career that optimizes ones impact.
What's significant about the stories is that it doesn't paint an easy picture. It's not all, "Okay so I graduated," and then, "here I am maximizing my potential." It actually talks about the ups and downs, the internal struggle as well as the external struggle around career pathing. In a way it reflects a lot of the stories I've been hearing from young people around the country. In some ways the career pathing process is an entrepreneurial process.
By telling these stories we're hoping to provide a framework as well as inspiration to these tens of millions, hopefully [laugh], of young people who want to have an impact in the world but don't have the resources to help them.
AMY: So I'm curious, when you say that "the career pathing process is an entrepreneurial process," what do you mean by that? Does it apply to the heart + head = hustle?
LARA: Yeah and in some ways it's funny. I think that it's an entrepreneurial process in that, especially in the change making sector, people aren't necessarily recruiting on campus. There's not necessarily a whole big infrastructure that gets you from point A to point B to point C. So it's entrepreneurial in a sense that one is kind of looking at the landscape and digging up opportunities and then putting themselves out there.
There's an element of risk taking in going for it; but traditionally - and I'm wondering if you, Amy, have experienced this yourself in your work with young people in impact driven careers - that there isn't a lot of reflection baked in to the traditional career pathing process.
AMY: Yeah, for sure.
LARA: Which we believe is a loss. We believe that if one can just spend a little bit more time thinking about, "What's really important to me?" The premise becomes very simple.
AMY: I don't want to pin a lot of blame on parents, but I feel like parents and maybe the media are kind of in a rush to see their children succeed in a certain sense.
LARA: Right.
AMY: And I kind of felt a conflicted feeling from my parents; my mother raised me saying I could be anything I wanted. Yet when I graduated from college my first job was at a convenience store and I found out very quickly that that was not the case.
LARA: [laughs]
AMY: So the dominant focus is selling your skill set to the highest bidder along with your education. So if you've got a really good education, you don't have the time to think about how you want to use that education after school. You should've done that thinking in school and if you've graduated and you're still not sure of what you want to do in your life then it's kind of seen as a shortcoming if not a tragic downfall.
LARA: Yes, that's exactly what our research also found. The societal definition of success is often through how much money you make and perhaps how much power you hold. Although I do think social change jobs are becoming more and more mainstream, they're just more difficult to find because there is such a diversity. There is an education aspect to them but also there is a kind of permission component that is critical in this process.
AMY: So I'm thinking specifically about the stories in Work on Purpose. Andrew started his corporate job, and he ended up gaining a lot of valuable insights and skills from it, but he quickly realized that that wasn't the direction that he wanted to go in, and the same with Cheryl as well.Cheryl's story was about starting a medical career but during her coursework she found out what she was actually interested in. Do you want to talk more about that?
LARA: Yeah sure and you know, no regrets right? Cause every turn, every stop helps you become more informed and I think that's what was found in every story that was in Work on Purpose.
There's a chapter called "Life Out of Whack" in the beginning of the book and every single person, no matter who, when, why and where has experienced life out of whack moments. And naming it and explaining sort of how for these five people who if you met them now you'd say, "Wow! How'd you get there?" Well guess what, they had moments and bad decisions where they were living someone else's dream for themselves and it's very hard to turn away from that. But if they actually had stopped and thought about it they would realize that they felt miserable.
What I'm hoping to put out there is that it's not okay to feel miserable in your role and that if you "work on purpose" you'll feel like your getting the most of the things that you want and need. It just requires you to think through how can you syn your heart and your head? How can you sync what moves you deeply? How can a role or institution nurture you both of them at the same time that when you're out of whack? You are like, in Andrew's story, you are just working with one piece, and in his case it was his head. He was working for a wonderful consulting firm he said but his heart wasn't engaged at all and therefore he felt empty. There's a magic in syncing your heart and your head. In our equation it's very simple: Heart + Head = Hustle, and for us hustle equals impact.
AMY: And I think that in the book you describe hustle as feeling like you're "in the zone"? Maybe like a joggers high or something like that?
LARA: [laughs] Yes. I mean, not every moment is going to be like that, right? That's just not realistic. There should be moments when you're more engaged then feeling miserable. And it looks different in the zone, the hustle looks different for different people.
Take Marty, for example. Her hustle was that she had more energy then she ever could imagine. She had less responsibility in her previous jobs, but she had no energy. Now she's taking on a really big issue of providing appropriate beautiful homes for people who were being de-institutionalized in the state of California. Really big money, big issue, big politics, but she has more energy then she has ever had. So that's her hustle. And it's different for different people.
AMY: I really liked the way talked about Marty, how her different experiences became different circles in a Venn Diagram. So she started working out in housing development?
LARA: Yeah, that's right - she was an architect first.
AMY: And then went to work in...
LARA: Lending.
AMY: And then she sort of found a place where all those circle, her expertise, her passions and her experience all kind of fit together in developing housing for people who were having to leave the mental institution.
LARA: That's exactly right. The heart + head = hustle can also be visualized in a Venn Diagram. That you're heart is one circle, and your head is another circle, and where they overlap is your hustle; and for Marty all those circles came together in personal experience.
So many times in our life we operate our personal life and work life as a sort of separate - never do they touch, right? So we have these walls between them. But what if we open that door and allow some of our personal experiences to inform what we think is important?
AMY: So a couple of people that you write about, like Mark and Socheata, really reach into their own family histories to help them determine what was the most meaningful to them, and I don't think with either of them that it was a conscious decision. Like in Mark's case, he was going to focus on his grandparent's involvement in the Holocaust and therefore would go on preventing genocide. Socheata, on the other hand, went on to explore what happened with her Khmer Rouge, but in both cases their heart ended up being deeply connected to their families' histories.
LARA: Yes, that's exactly right. That's another lesson that has been really interesting for me. Like you Amy, I'm sure people come and ask career advice from you personally. And what's really interesting for me, kind of over the years, talking to hundreds of young people around their own careers, I kind of often ask about peoples' families: What do you're parents do? What did you do in school? Whose career do you admire?
And what's so interesting is that people can answer these questions, but, in general, not terribly well. So that is kind of our early experiences around careers and jobs and professions and all that stuff. People didn't go back to those early experiences to help them form them now, but yet there are defiantly clues. They're definitely clues and I think that it's a very worthwhile exercise to look at all those clues because it becomes in some ways like a pointer. [laughs]
AMY: And speaking of Mark, in reading his story we found something that we often find at Idealist: that when people want to move from their good intention to action it seems like the first step often requires finding allies and learning more. So allies in education. So I'm wondering from you're perspective, how those things can help in the deciding process and the entrepreneurial process?
LARA: Yes, one of the hallmakrs of the millennial generation, in fact, is networking with one's peers and building allies. Like Mark, finding people who can support you both formally and informally, and keeping in touch with them and allowing them to invest in you is a really good skill and a really helpful process. Hopefully, I've helped people in my life and I know the people Mark reach out to both philanthropically were helpful to him as he was refining his idea for the Genocide Intervention Network. He relied a lot on high level experts who had many, many, many more years experience on the ground to help him craft what eventually became a new organization.
AMY: So I'm really curious about you're writing process because the stories are so detailed both in terms of the concrete description of what's going on as well as what's going on in peoples head. Like did you spend a lot of time interviewing people? Did you follow people around as a journalist? Did you go to Kenya?
LARA: I wish I went to Kenya! I wrote this will Kelly Nuxoll. So Kelly and I were partners in this and so much of this is a result of sort of having a partner, someone you can go back and forth with. That really helps because it's so easy to get in your head. We actually started a whole different book [laughs]. We started a whole other book based on another idea and wrote a few chapters of it with the same people and read it and realized that it wasn't working.
AMY: What was that book about?
LARA: It was called "Be Bold," and it was about standing up and taking responsibility for a problem in the world and, while it was very inspiring, it didn't quite provide enough of a framework.
For this book, I decided that I wanted it to be completely story driven, but not a how-to book focused on moments of obligation that was really only one dimensional. I wanted something that was more three dimensional. So through a lot of interviewing, and we interviewed more people, then we had focus groups, then we worked with a ton of young people kind of in the target groups to help us come up with ideas. We had many different versions of the book. It was a long process.
The formula of Heart + Head = Hustle kind of came out of the stories, and each and every one of them kind of lived Heart = Head = Hustle in a very different way. It became very clear to me that while we were writing about social entrepreneurs, people who had started social change organizations. We wrote this for people who weren't all, "Yeah! I'm going to start a social change organization!", or, "Yeah! I'm going to check that change making box!" This is going to be more about the people who are kind of more on the edge, who weren't quite sure what going to be more about the people or are kind of more on the edge who aren't quite sure what they wanted to do. So hopefully it'll reach a broader audience.
And the fellow stories and this Heart + Head = Hustle provides a really good way to demonstrate how we all, every single person, can have a meaningful impact career that delivers the change they went in the world, but it doesn't take reflection. It does take a little bit of work. And it does take some bold action.
AMY: Yeah I just couldn't get over it. I know you're an amazing storyteller which is why I wanted to get you on this show as well as the last time that you guested on the podcast. I just I loved when I started reading this, I just loved that it was stories. I thought that was perfect.
LARA: Oh thank you so much! And we have the books available on our website. Also one can buy it through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other providers, but we also have an ebook that we have online that's very affordable and we're hoping that it becomes a useful tool for people who are in this wonderful process of figuring out what they want to do with their life.
AMY: Thank you so much Lara!
LARA: Amy, thank you so much for all the work that you do at Idealist and beyond to help, inform, inspire, and connect great people who want to do great things in their lives and providing the resources that they need to be able to do that. It's really great to connect with you.
AMY: Thanks Lara, you too. It's really great to talk to you.
LARA: Wonderful, thank you!
