The eco-minded entrepreneur, 37, adds coffee to an empire first built on footwear.

Why java? Our slogan is “coffee for you, water for all.” For every bag purchased, we give a week’s worth of clean water to a person in need, in places like Rwanda and Peru. We invest back into the communities the coffee comes from.

Post it at sign they’re not a good cultural fit. facebook.com Before TOMS, you were on The Amazing Race, in 2002. Toward the /parademag. end of the show, after racing for 31 days, my sister Paige and I were actually leading. Then we lost by four minutes because I wouldn’t stop to get a map. That was very difficult. But even today, I’ll meet a big fan of the show and they love to talk about it. It opened a lot of doors with store buyers.

Q: What was Guillermo’s job before he became Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick?

—Ernesto G., Los Angeles A: Guillermo Rodriguez, 43, says he had two gigs, no vacations: hotel waiter from 6 a.m. to around 2:30 p.m. ($5.25 per hour plus tips), then 4 to 12 as a parking lot guard at Jimmy

Q: How many women have been on Undercover Boss? —Erma H., Philadelphia

A: Nine female bosses have gone undercover at their companies in 72 episodes of CBS’s reality show. Among the most impressive—and modest— is Kat Cole, 36, who started at a mall clothing store at 15, waitressed at Hooters, and is now president of Cinnabon. “I’ve never been disconnected from front-line workers,” she says. “I grew up doing those jobs.”

Q: Who’s the highest-paid governor in America?

—Larry W., Wilmington, Del. A: According to a reported survey in 2013, it’s Pennsylvania Republican Tom Corbett, whose salary (set by the legislature) was $187,256. But that included a cost-of-living adjustment, which Corbett’s staff has said he refused; he accepted only about $175,000. Meanwhile, the governors of Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama declined all their pay or returned it to their state.

Is there an exam to get into the U.S. Foreign Service?

—Lynne B., Boston A: Yes, and the bar is high.

If you want to serve as a diplomatic “generalist” in one of America’s 260-plus missions around the globe, you must pass a fourpart test (take it at parade .com/foreign service), submit a personal narrative, get an oral assessment, and clear medical and security checks.

The acceptance rate has been roughly 3 percent.

Bring Home tHe Bacon—and Save it!

Dave Ramsey, financial guru and coauthor of Smart Money Smart Kids (Lampo Press, $24.99), on making the most of your savings: Try to avoid a tax refund. that means you loaned the government interestfree money. Change your deductions for next year.

Use a windfall wisely.

illustration: PEtEr HoEY CollECtion (tHEisPot.Com)

if you are getting a refund check, here’s how to use it: First, save $1,000 for a starter emergency fund. then, pay off debt using “the debt snowball”—list all your debts smallest to largest and pay off the smallest first, working your way down the list. Put the rest toward a full emergency fund of three to six months of expenses.

Get mad at debt. understand that credit card, student loan, and car payments are ruining your financial future. if you’re sending everything you earn out the door to pay off what you owe, you’ll never be able to save money and achieve financial peace.

REASONS TO LOVE PIT BULLS

They get a bad rap, but really they’re playful dogs who love people, says “dog whisperer” Cesar Millan, who stars in Love My Pit Bull (Nat Geo Wild, April 18). Here, he names three qualities that make pit bulls great companions. (See three more at parade.com/pit.)

1. Pit bulls were developed by cross-breeding boxers and terriers, giving them the boxer’s strength and the terrier’s smarts.

2. They were once known as “nanny dogs” because they’re attentive and patient around young children.

3. The idea that this breed is naturally aggressive is a myth. With proper training, a pit bull can be as laid-back as a basset hound.

Two new treats to keep tails wagging.

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

if hot air rises and cold air falls, at what temperature does each action start to occur? —M. L., Sterling, Mass.

Hot air does not actually rise in opposition to gravity.

Instead, as warmer air is less dense than cooler air, it floats on the cooler air, which sinks.

This process takes place molecule by molecule, so whatever the temperature range, the warmest air will wind up on the top and the coolest air will be found on the bottom. Hot air balloons operate on this principle. The air in the balloon is heated until it begins to float in the cooler surrounding air. Its height is controlled by the temperature of the air inside the balloon versus the air surrounding it. So it’s more accurate to say, “Warmer air floats; cooler air sinks.”

• Join groups. “And not just groups related to your work life, but groups relevant to you as a complete person,” says Schepp. He once made a business connection through his elementary school’s alumni group.

• Post about your work. “Share things that you’re excited about,” says Kareem Taylor, who posted a demo of his voice acting that landed him a gig with CNN. Putting your work out there—whether it’s a website you helped launch or photos of an event you organized—can give friends a better sense of your skills and ambitions. But be judicious; promote your job search or work projects too much and “people can get sick of you,” says Jenn Robertson, who runs her business, Peanut Butter and Jenny Photography, through Facebook.

To attract the most eyeballs, she recommends posting in the mornings, when people are skimming their newsfeeds.

HUNT BEYOND YOUR ZIP CODE Not all job markets are created equal. Take North Dakota’s 2.6 percent unemployment rate, for example, compared to Rhode Island’s 9.2 percent. But when it comes to relocating, hiring managers know talk is typically cheap, says Pamela Mitchell, founder of the Reinvention Institute and author of The 10 Laws of Career Reinvention. “If you’re serious about moving, make a trip and meet people in person. The candidate who says, ‘I’m in town on this date. Are you available for coffee?’, will get more attention.”

While you’re on the road, save your receipts—you may be able to deduct travel expenses related primarily to finding a new job on your taxes.

Legal Notice

If Your Toilet Has a Connector Made by Watts, You Could Claim Benefits from a Class Action Settlement There is a settlement with Watts Water Technologies, Inc. and Watts Regulator Co. (“Watts”) about toilet connectors that could fail and cause water damage. Watts denies that it has done anything wrong.

The settlement covers the purchase and possession of a Watts toilet connector and payments for repairs for property damage caused by failure.

Who’s Included?

You are included if you own or owned (or lease or leased) a residence or other structure in the United States containing a toilet connector with coupling nuts made with acetal plastic designed, manufactured, and/or distributed by Watts between 1999 and July 2009. Acetal is a type of plastic material. Images of included toilet connectors are available at www.ToiletConnector.com.

What does the Settlement provide?

The settlement agreement provides for the payment of $23 million into a settlement fund to: (1) pay Class Members for replacement of toilet connectors and/or property damage due to failure of acetal coupling nuts; (2) cover notice and settlement administration expenses; (3) pay attorneys’ fees as ordered by the Court of up to 25% of the settlement fund (or $5.75 million), plus up to $650,000 in expenses; and (4) pay a total incentive award of up to $32,500 to the Class Representatives.

What can I get?

Class Members filing a claim for replacement of toilet connectors can get up to $20. Class Members filing a claim for property damages can recover up to 25% of their documented repair costs.

Your Options If you do nothing, you will remain in the settlement and your rights will be affected. If you do not want to be included, you must exclude yourself by June 29, 2014. If you exclude yourself you will keep your right to sue Watts about the claims in this lawsuit. If you remain in the Settlement, you can object to it by June 29, 2014.

The Court will hold a hearing on July 16, 2014 to consider any objections, whether to approve the settlement, award attorneys’ fees, and incentive award. You can appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to. You can hire your own attorney, at your own expense, to appear or speak for you at the hearing.

NETWORK IN 140 CHARACTERS If you hate schmoozing over muffin platters at conferences, here’s some good news: The best networking opportunities today are happening on Twitter. “Hiring” was tweeted 1 million times more in 2013 than 2012, says the site’s communications director, Rachael Horwitz.

If you’re just getting started, create a handle that includes your name, upload a photo, and make sure your bio defines who you are as a professional. Follow any companies you’d be interested in working for, as well as industry thought leaders and influencers. Check out people they follow to broaden your list.

“Favorite-ing” someone’s tweet will send that person a notification and could get you on their radar.

You’ll also start to hear about scheduled tweet chats (when people post about a particular topic using the same hashtag) that you can join.

Follow up with individuals by tweeting directly at them. “People will see that you’re a go-getter,” says Selena

BUILD EXPERIENCE Forty-one percent of hiring managers consider pro bono work as legitimate as a job. If you’re unemployed—or have free time after hours—consider putting your expertise to work as a volunteer.

One company that has encouraged employees to donate their time and skills is Toyota North America, which utilizes the philosophy of kaizen, a Japanese management style that emphasizes continuous improvement. After Hurricane Sandy, for example, Toyota’s engineers teamed up with an agency of the Food Bank for New York City to streamline its “assembly line” and packing process, and the number of meals distributed to people in need jumped from 25 per hour to 450. Toyota workers also helped the St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit focused on rebuilding communities affected by Katrina, by putting up “management boards” that allowed staff and volunteers to track and troubleshoot problems. As a result, the average time to rebuild a home fell from 116 days to 60.

“Designing efficient systems is something we at Toyota do well,” says CEO James Lentz, “but there are many other ways you can help charities.” Take a moment to think about the skills you’ve developed through your career and how you might contribute to local projects. By giving back, you could gain the sort of real-life experience and concrete results that stand out to employers.

IF YOU BOUGHT PACKAGED ICE FROM A RETAILER Your Rights May Be Affected By A Court Approved Settlement This Notice is provided pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 7023 and an Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 2 (14-oz) bags shredded, sweetened coconut evenly across 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Toast until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times to prevent burning. Let cool. Meanwhile, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Combine toasted coconut, 1 (14-oz) can sweetened, condensed milk, and 1 tsp vanilla in a bowl. Stir in ingredients for 1 flavor option (see choices at right). (Note: If making Lemon-Strawberry, add lemon zest only and reserve jam.)

Fold egg whites into coconut mixture. Wet hands (to help keep mixture from sticking) and form into about 30 mounds, golf-ball size or slightly larger. Place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. If using jam, make an indentation in middle of each mound with your finger and spoon about 1 tsp jam into centers. Bake until browned and crispedged, about 20 minutes. Let cool on a rack.

ANNMARIE MCCOY, 47 Riverside, CALIF. Special Education Teacher $80,800

Lander, who delivers condiments to businesses, says, “Truck driving is still a man’s world, but women are making headway.

Being my own boss is a reward in itself.”

“Two things I've learned: There’s never a dull day in teaching, and if you aren’t dog tired at day’s end, you haven’t taught with your heart.”

DOROTHY THOMPSON, 60 Richland Center, WIS. Director of Marketing and Communications

JOSEPH HUGHES, 66 Abingdon, MD. Accordionist

$48,357

Hughes got his first accordion at the age of 7. When he plays a song his audience hasn’t heard in years, “it always strikes a chord of fond memories.”

When she started at the University of Wisconsin/Richland 27 years ago, the digital age hadn’t yet begun.

“It took much longer to get the word out.”
