cavnessHR Podcast - A talk with Amir Bormand of Elevano
Amir Bormand is the Co-founder of Elevano, a California- based recruitment company, who helps hundreds of people find more fulfilling jobs every year. Amir is unique to the recruiting industry because he is a former engineer himself— and could still jot out a few lines of code! He's seen the technical recruiting game from both sides, and during his engineering career, he constantly saw agency recruiters take shortcuts and use deceptive practices all for their own benefit. That's why, in his current position as Co-founder of Elevano, he encourages a candidate-centric approach to every aspect of technical recruiting and sales. His overriding desire is to smash the negative stigma left by current recruitment strategies, and replace it with a more transparent, honest and empathetic service offering. When he's not working, Amir enjoys spending time with his families and traveling. He and his wife have a 5-year-old daughter, who keeps him busy with the latest trends in Disney cartoons... You might just catch him humming Disney movie theme songs!

Boselli brace downs Hammers
Wigan striker Mauro Boselli answered his critics by bagging a well-taken brace to knock West Ham out of the Capital One Cup at Upton Park.
Last Updated: 25/09/12 10:38pm
Wigan striker Mauro Boselli answered his critics by bagging a well-taken brace to knock West Ham out of the Capital One Cup at Upton Park.
Boselli has been regarded as something of a flop since he signed for the Latics for £6million, scoring twice in a two-year spell that has seen him make just 14 Premier League appearances.
The former Estudiantes man showed flashes of brilliance, though, with his second goal - a lovely chip from inside the area - the pick of Wigan's four goals on what was otherwise a match very short on quality, particularly from the home side.
West Ham, who had only lost one of their previous six games this term, went ahead through Modibo Maiga, but they quickly wilted to allow Wigan to open up a two-goal lead.
Boselli capitalised on some slack marking to tap home from close range after 14 minutes and then Ivan Ramis blasted home from 25 yards before Boselli's wonder chip made it 3-1.
The Hammers showed little sign of fight in the second half, and Wigan killed off the game with seven minutes to go when Jordi Gomez scored a penalty after Stephen Henderson brought down James McArthur in the box.
All the early signs pointed towards a West Ham victory as the Hammers started confidently.
James Tomkins and Mark Noble, who earlier signed a new three-year contract, threatened the Wigan defence with two early attacks and the Hammers took the lead with just six minutes gone.
Maiga pinched the ball off McArthur while the midfielder dallied on the ball and surged towards goal before unleashing a 20-yard drive that slotted neatly into Ali Al-Habsi's bottom right-hand corner.
Al-Habsi had to be at his sharpest to deny James Tomkins at the near post as West Ham pushed for a second, but Wigan suddenly sprung in to life and started to take a grip on the game that never loosened.
David Jones stung the palms of Henderson with a free-kick from an acute angle and Boselli headed just wide.
The Argentinian made amends for his miss when he pulled Wigan level after 14 minutes thanks to some slack defending from the hosts.
Maynor Figueroa was given far too much time on the left flank and he swung in a deep cross that Boselli tapped in from close range after giving Jordan Spence the slip.
Debutant Robert Hall was the only bright spark for the hosts. The 18-year-old dazzled the Wigan defence with his trickery and drove just wide with a 25-yard effort.
West Ham were all over the place in midfield and, had it not been for some dithering by Callum McManaman, Ryo Miyaichi would have had a chance to make it 2-1 after he raced through.
In the end it mattered little as moments later Ramis put the Latics ahead. Two West Ham players backed made pitiful efforts to dispossess the Spaniard as he charged towards the box before unleashing a 25-yard drive that beat Henderson with ease.
Three minutes later Wigan were 3-1 up. The Hammers defence allowed Jones too much time on the ball and he slipped a delightful pass through to Boselli, who beat the offside trap and lifted the ball over Henderson from 12 yards with a cheeky chip.
Hall ploughed a free-kick almost in to the second tier to sum up West Ham's futility and the home fans booed their team off at the break.
James Tomkins headed a free-kick back across the box and Maiga just missed the tap in, but otherwise West Ham continued to disappoint.
Wigan were not content to sit back and kept pushing for a fourth. Boselli slipped Miyaichi in to the box and he pulled the ball back across the six-yard box but no-one was there to finish.
Sam Allardyce looked to Matt Taylor for inspiration, the former Bolton man coming on for Noble with 20 minutes left.
The change had little effect, though. Henderson denied Boselli a hat-trick by saving low to his right, but West Ham then went up the other end and almost pulled one back when Hall's deflected shot clipped the bar.
Worryingly for West Ham, Gary O'Neil then hobbled off with an injury.
The game was then put beyond doubt when Henderson's clumsy challenge on McArthur caused referee Craig Pawson to point to the spot.
Substitute Gomez denied Boselli the opportunity to finish off with a hat-trick, but the former Swansea loanee made no mistake himself from 12 yards, slotting the ball confidently to Henderson's right.A mass exodus followed and those who remained booed their team off the pitch at full-time.

Yummy yum! I have an entire book with mochi recipes, but Azuki cupcakes are entirely new to me. I can't wait to try this.

Ah, mochiko flour. The first time I realized they stocked it here I bought all three boxes on the shelf I was so afraid the store would stop ordering it. Azuki cup cakes sound delish. Now somebody just has to come up with a recipe for mochi ice cream.

Would love to try these muffins, no doubt I'll never find the mochiko in blustery old England - I'll definitely be on the look out. And your blog is lovely too!

Do these freeze well? I live alone and this is a lot of cupcakes for one batch, but it would be nice to have them on hand! (I also have about six boxes of mochiko in my pantry and I'm too lazy to make mochi so they hzve been there awhile, so this is looking better and better! ♥)

I've never frozen the mochi cupcakes. I've found after about two days the texture changes and they don't taste as good. If you decide to freeze them, I recommend doing it the same day you make them. Let me know how it comes out.

Hi kawaii crafter! I finally got to make the mochi cupcakes today!
Oishii desu ne!
Thank you so much for providing the recipe on here!
I posted pictures of the result on my blog. I cant wait for my husband to get home and try them!
- January 16, 2008 at 2:02 PM
I'm not sure if this is your original recipe, but my boss, Mr. Matsunaga, said this is a 2 generation family recipe. He brought some the other day and it was just soo good and the mochi was chewy.

I just tried these and they're magnificent! The only thing I should have put more of was PAM in the cupcake holders. :) Thank you!

Thanks for this easy lovely recipe. I grew up in Hawaii and mochi is comfort food for me! I made these for a dinner party and the recipe turned out perfectly. I was a bit shy with the amount of filling the first time around though and I think for the next round I'll go for more generous teaspoons. One thing: mine cracked along the top. Doesn't affect taste though-- any thoughts as to why this might have happened?
- July 16, 2010 at 2:49 PM
- kawaii crafter said...
That's completely normal for them to crack on top. If you look at the pictures I took, you'll notice some of the cupcakes are cracked on the top as well. I'm not sure why it happens but you didn't do anything wrong.

Thanks for your thoughts on the cracking question. I made these again last night and this time no cracks! For this second batch I cut the sugar in half and was very pleased with the result. I didn't notice or miss the extra sugar.

Lemuel Haynes was the first black person to be ordained by a mainstream Protestant church in the United States. Born in 1753, Haynes was an orphan who went to work as an indentured servant until he was 21 years old. In 1774, Haynes enlisted in the militia as a "Minuteman." It was during that time he began writing sermons.
After his military service, Haynes studied Latin and Greek with clergymen in Connecticut. A few years later, he obtained his preacher's license. After taking a job with a white church and marrying a schoolteacher, who was white, Haynes was officially ordained as a minister.
He served at another all-white congregation in Torrington, Connecticut, only to be forced out by prejudice. He resettled in a church in Rutland for 30 years. His leadership was recognized by Middlebury College, who gave him an honorary Master of Arts degree. It was the first ever given to an African-American by the college.
Haynes continued to serve at another church until 1818 when he left over conflict that may have been rooted by racism. The legacy of Haynes was closely associated with his assignment as counselor for two men convicted of murder in Manchester, Vermont. The men were exonerated when the supposed victim reappeared and Haynes recorded the story in a best-selling novel. He also built a presence as an avid abolitionist, writing articles that called slavery "sin," like his recently discovered 1776 manuscript.
Minister Haynes died in 1833 after serving in New York. He was 80 years old.
One thought on "Little Known Black History Fact: Lemuel Haynes"
In what County did this occur? I live in the U.S.A. and can't help but wonder " how that happen"

Solar Handbags and Back Packs
Solar handbags and back packs are advantageous over solar clothing, in that (of course) you don't have to wear them. Walking or hiking out in the sun, your fabric integrated solar panel can be used to soak up the sun's energy and provide free energy or backup power.
The solar bag from Solar Style, Inc. retails for about $200, but it will pay for itself in a year. It will charge a 600 mA (mega amp) battery in three hours, any sunny day. This is certainly big enough to charge your cell phone but not big enough to charge your laptop.
The solar backpack is another possibility for charging small electronic devices such as a PDA or an iPod. It's the perfect solution for those times when you're biking or hiking for several days and can't do without your e-mail or your tunes.
As with other solar technology, the development of progressively thinner solar cells will make nifty little gadgets like these more versatile and useful in the future.

Twitter co-founder Evan Williams live-tweets on stage at the TED conference.
Learn how Twitter can help you make the most of your next conference
This is part of our series on how nonprofits can get the most out of Twitter and the first in a series of guest posts from content partner Movements.org.
Guest post by Susannah Vila
Whether you are hosting an event such as a fund-raiser or a conference, or you are signed up to attend one, Twitter can help you to expand the event's reach, grow your organization's audience and connect with potential collaborators or partners.
One effective technique is to take advantage of Twitter's viral power during an event or conference — your own or someone else's. Here's a 12-step guide on how to live-tweet an event.
1Choose a hashtag or find the hashtag that the organizers have picked. It should be short so that plenty of characters are left for the content of your tweets. People generally put the hashtag at the end of every tweet about the event. This way, anyone following that stream will see your posts and identify you or your organization as part of that event.
Tip: You don't need to be at an event to join in on the hashtag stream. Many people follow along from a livestream and use the hashtag to share their thoughts, or point out memorable insights, to those who are both attending the event or watching remotely.
Tip: Which tool will you be using to engage with the Twitter conversation during your event? TweetDeck on your laptop? Twitter.com? Use TagDef to find out what a hashtag means.
2Pay attention. It may seem obvious, but the whole point of tweeting from a conference or other event is to choose the statements made by speakers (or people asking questions) that are the most interesting to your followers. Not everything said at a conference is worth repeating, so don't bother with platitudes and instead just highlight those thoughts that come out of the live conversation that strike you as worth thinking more about or worth relaying to your audience.
3Know your audience. When at an event, it's never a bad idea to remind yourself of who your audience is and how this event fits with their interests. If they are following you because you or your organization focuses on one issue in particular, then they will probably be expecting your tweets to relate to that topic. When choosing which ideas and comments to bring into the Twitter conversation, check with yourself to ensure that your tweets will be relevant to your followers.
4Use attribution: A big part of tweeting from a conference or other event is about curating the most relevant and important points that speakers make and sharing them with your followers. If someone says something interesting, use a format like "[name] says [their statement]." Whenever you can, use the speaker's Twitter handle to attribute a statement to them — this allows an interested follower to immediately see their bio, picture and website. If you can't find the Twitter handle right away, just search Google for "their name" + "Twitter." Make it as easy as possible for your followers to identify who's speaking — you don't want to run the risk of people taking a statement or idea out of context or simply getting confused by your tweets and unfollowing you.

OK, here's something to look at. I had a new neighbor move into the house last year. Last night we were talking about guns and he brought out a Jap model 38, that his grand father picked up on Okinawa island.
I have some knowledge of old Jap WWII rifles as I owned on back in 1957 that my dad bought me at a outdoor swap meet in San Diego Ca. He paid $20 for it, it was sporterized 7.7 Jap and had a Bishop stock and was reblued.
I shot my first deer with it when I was 13.
Anyway, This appears to be a naval issue as the naval anchor appears on the receiver and has not been milled off. I also see the same marking on stock at the lower pistol grip. There is also markings on both sides of the stock. I can not find any proof marks or manufacture marks on the receiver, only what appears to be the serial number. I was hoping to find out when it was manufactured and at what factory.
The bolt is very crude (but functional) and I dont think it was the orig bolt for this gun.
I know at the end of the war the Japanese were making junk rifles and I was wondering if this could be a parts gun or last ditch gun. Don't know if the Naval guns were made at one factory and therefore no proof or manufacture marks on the receiver or barrel.
I also would like some help on the markings on the but stock. I have seen some Japanese script in the square box this not this one. Don't know it is a factory, regiment or cerimonial markings.
Today I took a bore light and discovered that I could not see down the barrel. When I shined a light at the muzzle I noticed what appears to be a bullet stuck about 2 inches from the crown. I dissasembled the receiver and was able to run a small rod down the barrel to the obstruction. It matches the length to where the bullet would be in the barrel.
The receiver looks very rough on the bottom side, you can see the sand or mold castings and parts were fitted very crudely.
I do not remember my 7.7 Jap being that crude.
Here are some pictures to look at. Any body that can link me to some more info would be great. I told the neighbor I would find out as much as I could about the gun.

I am so happy to announce that I have been asked to be a guest designer at Two Peas in a Bucket for their 30 days of Stamping and Cardmaking Event!!!
Copic Markers are so fun to play with! Look at the dimension in the flower!!
In the second card, I used the stamp as a background image. I inked the floral edge of the stamp with Versamark Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
|The third card shows the image stamped in black on patterned paper. Simple and easy, yet very effective. Thanks for looking!
