My Nonprofit Reviews
Ben English
Review for Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, Richmond, VA, USA
In pursuit of its motto of "success through inclusion", VCIC offers programs that are highly effective in addressing issues of diversity and inclusion. Management cover a lot of ground with limited resources, so it is a very efficient operation making the absolute most of all resources available. And in an area where results tend to be hard to measure, they focus on producing measurable results from their programs, and have hard data to show their impact in all sorts of schools, communities and organizations.
Review for Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, Richmond, VA, USA
VCIC is the pre-eminent organization addressing issues of inclusiveness in our region. The Executive Director and his team are extremely effective in making the most of limited resources. I frankly am amazed they can accomplish as much as they do, all while maintaining the highest level of quality and acountability in the programming. VCIC addresses a very important set of issues and is a very valuable asset to our community.

A COURT has ordered a man who played a significant role in a drug-dealing operation to pay back most of his ill-gotten gains.
James Bateson Harkess must pay back £27,683.66 after he was convicted of a string of offences, including possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
Police discovered cocaine with a street value of £43,500, two rifles and more than £28,000 at Harkess's caravan, at Crimdon Dene during a raid on May 23.
He was jailed for five-and-a-half years at Durham Crown Court in July after admitting the drugs offence as well as possessing criminal property, including the cash, and a .22 rifle and ammunition.
During a Proceeds of Crime hearing at Peterlee Magistrates' Court this week, Harkess was ordered to pay back most of the cash.
The crown court previously heard Harkess was a "trusted lieutenant", helping to store and distribute high-purity cocaine from his static caravan, which was covered by CCTV cameras.

Movie Gallery Reports Q2 Revenue Slump19 Jul, 2005 By: Holly J. Wagner
Second-quarter 2005 same-store revenue slumped 5.5 percent and rentals slipped 8.4 percent at Movie Gallery as the chain for the first time absorbed numbers from the Hollywood Entertainment Corp. acquisition.
The shortfall prompted executives to scale back new store openings for the year to 300 from earlier projections of 400.
Same-store rentals were off 8.7 percent at Movie Gallery stores and 8.2 percent at Hollywood Video stores. Same-store sales were down 1.2 percent at Gallery stores and 12.9 percent at Hollywood stores.
"We were disappointed to see that our same-store revenues in both the rural and urban markets were adversely impacted by the weak home video release schedule," said chairman, president and CEO Joe Malugen. "Coming into the quarter, we were internally forecasting our same-store revenues to be down slightly; however, for the month of June our same-store rental revenues were down 12 percent, which was significantly softer than anticipated. Although we have seen some improved trends over the past few weeks, we believe that the continuation of an unimpressive slate of titles will adversely impact our business in both the rural and urban markets during the third quarter."
Strong theatrical performers including Batman Begins, Star Wars Episode 3, War of the Worlds, The Island, Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Fantastic Four should help the fourth quarter out of the malaise, Malugen said.
Although optimistic for the new second-largest rental chain, Malugen postponed guidance for the rest of the year until the company's second-quarter financial call Aug. 12.
During the second quarter, the company completed the acquisitions of Hollywood Entertainment Corp. and VHQ Entertainment Inc., ending the quarter with 4,710 stores throughout North America: 4,430 stores in the United States, 273 stores in Canada and seven stores in Mexico.
Despite the uncertainties, Movie Gallery stock was up 68 cents, to $25.90, in midday trading.
Analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan Securities retained his buy rating and his $35 price target on the stock.
"The rental comps of minus 8.4 percent was better than our minus 11 percent rental comp estimate, but the merchandise comp of plus 10.6 percent was lower than our plus 16 percent estimate. The overall comps of minus 5.5 percent was lower than our minus 2 percent estimate," Pachter said. "We believe that the reported comps were about in line with recently lowered expectations. However, we believe that investors will be disappointed with the lack of visibility and guidance."

The Reign of Terror
Seeing the turmoil that was both within and surrounding France, the leading political party known as the Jacobins determined that they would crush any resistance within their new nation. They established neighborhood watches that were intended to find anyone who was not loyal. These watches would turn in suspected traitors, who would often be put to death.
This period of time is known as the Reign of Terror, and lasted from July 1793 until July 1794, during which approximately 17,000 individuals were executed.

Toyota Announces Hybrid and Clean Diesel Initiatives at Detroit Auto Show
In a keynote speech delivered at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe announced several environmental initiatives focused on new product releases:
• Toyota will supply plug-in hybrids to commercial customers by 2010. President Watanabe said, "As part of this plan, we will deliver a significant fleet of PHEVs powered by lithium-ion batteries to a wide variety of global commercial customers, with many coming to the U.S."
• Toyota will offer a new clean-diesel V8 engine in both the Tundra truck and Sequoia SUV in the near future.
• At next year's NAIAS, Toyota and Lexus will expand their conventional hybrid lineups by staging premieres of an all-new dedicated hybrid vehicle for each of their product lines.
Toyota Reveals Small Hybrid Truck Concept
The Advanced-Breakthrough Aerodynamic Truck (A-BAT) concept is a four-passenger compact pickup truck featuring Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive(r). A-BAT is conceived for drivers who want to conserve fuel on the commute to work during the week and perform light utility tasks on weekends, using the same vehicle. Unveiled at NAIAS, it has a full hybrid powertrain and carries a 4-foot by 6-foot load (like the Tacoma long-bed truck). With the rear seat folded and tailgate dropped, it accommodates a four-by-eight sheet of plywood.
Toyota Releases Environmental Report
Toyota has released its 2007 North America Environmental Report, describing progress toward achieving goals set forth in Toyota's 2007-2011 Environmental Action Plan (EAP). Some of the EAP's goals are to promote the development of technologies to achieve best-in-class fuel efficiency performance; introduce vehicle technologies that support diversification of energy and fuel resources; promote the development of clean-energy vehicles and ensure wide acceptance; promote initiatives to reduce traffic congestion; reduce CO2 emitted from North American operations; and reduce the company's production of waste and water consumption.
Further information and a download of the report are available at http://www.toyota.com/about/environment-2007.
Texas Toyota Dealership Built to Highlight Environmental Standards
Toyota of Rockwell, a newly constructed 11-acre dealership in Rockwell, Texas, has been designed from the ground up with high environmental standards in mind.
The dealership's environmental features include panels made of recycled aluminum, energy-saving glass, a cistern to capture and conserve water, a water-recycling carwash, a green wall, and a special membrane roofing system. The majority of the 70,000-square-foot dealership's elements are designed to conserve energy and water, and to incorporate recycled materials. The project was designed to achieve Gold Level LEED certification, the highest rating level of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System(tm).
Toyota anticipates that a total of six LEED-certified dealerships will open in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2008.
Winners Announced in Lexus-Sponsored Environmental Challenge for Schools
Lexus and Scholastic, the children's book publisher, have announced the winners of the second phase of the Lexus Environmental Challenge. Sixteen school teams from twelve states were recognized for their outstanding environmental action plans focusing on water and the environment. High school projects included protecting coral reefs, reducing the concentration of pesticides and contaminants in pond water, and developing water conservation campaigns. Middle school teams removed nonnative plants from wetlands, urged governmental flood control measures, and cleaned storm drains.

Where Is China's Economy Headed?
October 11, 1999
While China's private-sector entrepreneurs have been racking up impressive achievements of late, state-run companies still produce goods destined to rot or rust in warehouses, and some 45 percent of state-run industries are losing money, according to Gerald Segal of the International Institute of Strategic Studies.
When that lost production is factored in, China's economic growth may be closer to 6 percent than the 9 percent official figure, some analysts conclude. Futhermore, outside investors are becoming more cautious.
- The U.S.-China Business Council expects total foreign direct investment in China to drop as much as 20 percent by year's end -- after stalling out last year at $45.5 billion.
- U.S. investment contracts with China peaked at 6,750 in 1993 -- then fell to 2,181 by last year.
- Only 28 percent of senior executives at America's fastest growing companies view China's market as "very important," according to a recent poll conducted for Investor's Business Daily -- underlining the fact that China takes in only 1.8 percent of total U.S. exports.
Among the negatives in dealing with China are its high tariffs -- which average 35 percent and range up to 150 percent on some goods. Other factors which discourage commerce are burdensome trade rules, corruption, weak property laws and unreliable courts.

"Subversive Sounds from the Women of the Detroit Hip Hop Underground" by Rebekah Farrugia by Iaspm-Us on Mixcloud
"Right now, I hear a whisper echoing: You must go underground."
(Aisha Durham, 2007)
Detroit's underground hip hop community is vast and diverse. Like the city itself, it is spread out both geographically and politically. In the 1990s, the groups Slum Village and 5 Ela put Detroit's socially conscious hip hop scene on the national map. Over the past five years, the women-centered collective known as The Foundation has received national and international attention for its artistic interventions into mainstream representations of women in hip hop. At any given time The Foundation consists of at least a dozen women who rap, sing, perform spoken word, DJ, break, or create visual art. In the quote above, Durham is heading a call for a return to more community based hip hop that speaks out against the commercial rap industry, dominant hegemonic representations of people of color, and other exploitative institutional structures. Through music, dance, and other art forms, Foundation members articulate their experiences of what it means to be women—the majority of whom are women of color—in contemporary Detroit. Their work addresses issues such as body image, love, sexuality, environmental concerns, poverty, and self-empowerment. These artists use hip hop culture and rap music to create spaces of resistance and community in a place that is known for being inundated with environmental ruins, race politics, and social alienation but is also beautiful, resourceful, and imaginative.
In doing so, they destabilize several gendered and racialized notions of what it means to be a contemporary hip hop artist.
All of the tracks included on this mix feature Foundation affiliated artists. Most of them are MCs but I have intentionally chosen to also include singers and spoken word poets because a number of these artists practice more than one craft. That is, many of them not only rap but also sing, produce, and/or DJ in addition to creating visual art, etc. Illustrating the breadth of the sonic hip hop spectrum that these artists cover also challenges the commercial industry's focus on the MC as a solitary rapper, cut off from a community and hence hip-hop's history as a socio-political movement. These performers are fixtures in the local hip hop landscape whose artistic endeavors and distinct messages advocating social change have the power to resonate across time and place. They have taken up the call of scholars like Aisha Durham (2007) and Tricia Rose (2008) who advocate for more community based hip hop and public outcry regarding the dehumanization of women in the commercial hip hop industry.
All of the artists included here are part of a larger, ongoing ethnographic project. While engaging in this research I have learned that artists' access to recording equipment as well as their motivations to record tracks or otherwise archive their work varies a great deal. Since my goal in creating this mix was to showcase the range of voices in conversation in Detroit's underground hip hop community, I purposefully have not given too much weight to sound quality when choosing what to include. Thus, the mix contains both hi-fi and lo-fi productions to give listeners as accurate a representation as possible of the range of women's voices and sounds in the city, as well as its DIY sensibility. It is my hope that listeners experience both pleasure and inspiration to act as they listen to the subversive sounds from the women of the Detroit hip hop underground.
Rebekah Farrugia is a popular music scholar whose work explores the politics of gender, technology, and community in contemporary music genres such as electronic dance music and hip hop. She is the author of Beyond the Dance Floor: Female DJs, Technology and Electronic Dance Music Culture and is an associate professor in the Department of Communication and Journalism at Oakland University. She is also an active member of the Detroit based hip hop collective The Foundation.

The City Transformation
A City Transformation with the Whole World Watching
Never before has a community of this size been completely redeveloped in the way that is now happening in Kiruna, as it's being rebuilt in a new location. This event has received a lot of attention, not least internationally.
Kiruna was founded as a community in the early 20th century when mining operations began. When the city was established it consisted of three areas where the means of transportation of the day required housing close to the workplace. Kiruna's development started expanding in the 1940's and the city was granted its city privileges in 1948.
A New Kiruna Emerges
The new city must now, just as it did back then, meet people's everyday needs. The city and the mining industry will continue to develop, side by side, in harmony. As of today, the city redevelopment has entered its operative stage. The development plan for the future city centre is complete and the foundations for the new city hall have been laid. The ambition is that the new city centre and its shopping street will be completed within the next five years. Applications for the job of redesigning the new city centre were made from a whooping 56 different teams of architects from all over the world.
Experience the City Transformation
There are two exhibitions about the city redevelopment, one by LKAB at the Folkets Hus community centre and one at the City Hall. Here, you can follow the city transformation as the mine expands underground and the houses above will have to be vacated. Guided tours are offered by Camp Ripan and Hjalmar Lundbohmsgården. If you would like to learn more about the world's largest underground iron ore mine, there are guided tours there too.

Earn Amazon Gift Cards and Free Samples From Crowdtap
Hellow Guys ! this is Own Abbas and today I'm here to tell you a very special thing, actually today I'm going to tell you about a very outstanding website by which you can earn Hundreds of Dollars $$$ and free samples of different and top brands totally FREE .
Personal Experience & IntroductionFree? Yes, Free because I always wrote what I did and what I did is my experience so my recent experience of online earning was with Crowdtap when I came to the USA . Crowdtap is really an amazing website which pays you in the form of amazon Giftcards which you can use on amazon, anytime anywhere. There are too many websites like Swagbucks etc which pays you via gift cards but the easiest and highly paying one is CrowdTap .
My first experience was not so good because I was taking this as a scam and a slow website like clicking sites which pays you 1$ after spending many days but I became shocked when I saw that I just got the Amazon $5 gift card within 25 Minutes. Really ! that was an eye opening moment. Although this was not a big amount but it was still free and I could use it on amazon. Time to time the very next day I just woke up and made $10 in just 14 minutes and I was just getting addicted towards that. There are much more things to tell you about that but I think I should move to the method now because I know you are really excited to see that.
How To Get Start
The first thing you will need to do is to go to Crowdtap website ( crowdtap.com ) and signup using your Facebook account ( Recommended ) or your email address . I used recommended with facebook sign up because a time will come when crowdtap will ask you to attach your facebook account with it in order to send you your gift card to your email. :)
Once you signed up, crowdtap will ask you to complete your information and I am mentioning this part because if you will complete your info, you will be given 1$ for just joining which is quite true. Now let's move towards the working over crowdtap in order to earn your first gift card.
How It Works?
There are three simple steps to earn *Points and I will describe them shortly so that you can get started soon.
PollsPolls are the simplest and easiest tasks on crowdtap but with on +2 points per poll but the easy thing is that only with a single click in a single second you get +2 points just for that simple task and there would be more than 100 polls available at the same time which helps you in completing your points.
- *Points : you will earn points in order to get your gift card and when you completes your point target, it will immediately send you a notification that you earned another gift card.
In photo tasks, you are shown a topic and you will have to submit a photo related to that topic if you are using this way. You can even download the photo from google and after submission, it can take few hours to add points because photo submission goes for approval first but the cool thing is that for this you will be given 20 points and sometimes 30 also.
Media tasks are my most favorite tasks because they take only 4 seconds top complete and you get 20 points at the spot which is really amazing. In this task, you will be asked to comment in a blank and to view a media file which you can close immediately and continue.
Sample tasks are very few in number and always multitasking because they not only gives you point but the task of which brand you are completing will also send you a sample of their product to you address free of cost and in that way you keep getting these types of surprises and sometimes they send you gift cards with their samples also. :)
Earning Proofs
Some Tips/Points You Must Before Starting :
- You must have at least 25 friends in your facebook account in order to sign up with that or to attach otherwise it will give an error if you will not have more than 25 friends.
- you can only create one crowdtap account from 1 IP because they have a very fast tracking system. If you will make another account from the same IP then you will not be paid for that.
- Don't go too deep in commenting while doing tasks, just write anything if you want to earn points fast.

Accually, it might work with open diffs too, just not as well. Dunno.......

As he stated in the link, an open diff always sends the same torque to both wheels.

Thanks for the links, good info. Dave.

Easy way to tell if you have limited slip is to jack up both wheels and spin one, if the other spins in the same direction, it's a limited slip. If it spins in the opposite direction, then it's an open.
Posted 31 July 2005 - 11:39 PM
Yes, they do require an additive for the limited slip diffs.

GM posi-lockers will act like open diffs till you spin one wheel fas enough, then whack and it locks. Kinda a high wear system.

Kent (81-3) trail Sussex (279) by 198 runs
David Fulton, Kent's captain, faces a worrying two months before he can assess his chances of resuming his professional career with impaired vision.
Mark Ealham continued to deputise yesterday as Kent's seamers enjoyed a successful time at Hove, and his captaincy spell could yet last deep into the summer.
Fulton, 31, missed the start of his second season in charge after a bowling machine delivery slid through his helmet grille, splitting his eyelid and damaging the retina.
The right-hander hopes that his left eye will be able to compensate for poor vision in the right, though hand-eye coordination for such a deft stroke-maker will be crucial.
Yesterday Alamgir Sheriyar snapped up five wickets to suggest that a dynamic new-ball partnership with Martin Saggers was an event waiting to happen.
The left-armer, a new signing from Worcestershire, was thrown the ball for the ninth over and he struck with his fifth delivery, bowling a confident Richard Montgomerie through no stroke.
Saggers, with the early wicket of Murray Goodwin, switched to allow Sheriyar to run in with the chilly sea air at his back, the end that favoured the bowlers all day.
Chris Adams, Sussex's captain, forced a rethink with some beefy off-drives, having survived an undignified first ball when Tony Cottey sent him scrambling to avoid a run-out.
Adams dispatched Ealham's first ball with a resounding blow for four, and he enjoyed a stroke of luck on 42 against Kent's stand-in captain just before lunch, when the ball nudged the stumps without dislodging a bail from a defensive stroke.
Adams smashed the first ball after lunch for four to reach a 79-ball fifty, but his snicked drive in the next over smacked into first slip's hands. Several other batsmen established themselves, but the captain's 53 remained the highest score, confirming that Sussex might have done better, even against Sheriyar's inspired left-armers.
Sheriyar made the occasional ball kick disconcertingly off a slow pitch, and he would have had seven victims if two awkward catching chances had been held.
Mushtaq Ahmed, once carting James Tredwell's off-spin for four fours in an over, went on to a breezy 37 off 39 balls, ushering Sussex's score to heights that looked more than respectable when Kent bungled their early reply.
Robert Key, playing no stroke, watched his off-stump go flying, and Kent had to graft their way through the evening.

What I meant by that, is that RadTimeBar does not support changing the formats of the intervals and that the only way to do it, is to modify the source code. Thit means that you have to download the source code, make the modifications that you need to the interval classes (e.g. the HourInterval class), build a custom DLL and use it in your solution. Unfortunately, only licensed customers can download the source code of our controls.
Please note that we do not offer custom solutions to clients and we do not support custom modifications of the code.

Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis.
Notes: I'm a big fan of BtVS xover HP fandom, and at one website, there was a 'Parent Trap Challenge' for it. So, a friend of mine told me wouldn't it be a challenge to do that for Prince of Tennis instead. Hence, the fic. I know I haven't updated my other PoT fics for months, but I just can't get this plot bunny out of my head~ XD So yeah, enjoy~ :D
Ryoma boarded the airplane to New York feeling numb, his face expressionless. Even as he sat between a plump old man, and a young mother with a wailing baby, he barely showed any expressions. He never felt so betrayed before, not even when Ryoga suddenly disappeared on him again two years ago. He thought that they liked each other. They had been going out for three years, ever since Ryoma started high school. He thought that their feelings were mutual. But maybe it's not. Ryoma had found neither hide nor hair of Tezuka at the airport earlier. He couldn't even reach the older teen by his cell phone. He remembered the sympathetic look his old tennis teammates gave him when it was time for him to leave.
Ryoma bit his lower lips when he felt a lump forming in his throat. No matter what, he won't give in to his emotions. If he managed not to cry when he almost lost his eye in a tennis match, then he is also able not to cry over this. By the time the airplane landed many hours later, Ryoma had already made his resolve. He would focus on the reason why he went to America. He would focus on making a name for himself in the pro tennis world. He would focus on surpassing the 'Samurai Nanjiroh's' name in the professional circuit.
All his blood and sweat bore fruits when he had his two consecutive wins in the Grand Slam in just three years. However, his final match left him with a serious injury. Doctors said that it would take the minimum of two months to heal. His manager gave him a choice to go through rehabilitation in America or in Japan, where he would be amongst family. After some persuasion from Kevin, who became his best friend over the years, he begrudgingly agreed to return to Japan. Kevin gave him a victorious smirk after that, and Ryoma could only grumble under his breath.
That was how Ryoma found himself at Newark International Airport, waiting for his delayed flight to Japan. Ryoma stared at his cell phone, rereading the email his mother sent to him earlier. He should have known that Kevin was still working with his mother to get him to visit Japan again. He hadn't return to Japan since he left three years ago. For some good reason, he thought. Ryoma sighed. He just hoped that his mother didn't make a fuss of him returning.
Ryoma narrowed his eyes when he spotted his old best friend, Momoshiro, waiting for him at the waiting area after he was done picking up his luggage. The ex-power player of Seigaku grinned widely when he saw Ryoma, and gave him a peace sign.
"What are you doing here?" The question was short and curt.
"Well, your mom told me you were coming, so I volunteered myself to pick you up," the spiky-haired man explained.
Ryoma frowned. "My mom told you?" When Momoshiro nodded, his frown deepened. "Who else did she tell?"
"Relax, Echizen, I only knew because I was returning Karupin to your house. I found that cat playing in my parents backyard again when I went for a visit a few days ago."
His expression quickly changed from annoyance to worries. "What do you mean by 'again'? How many times have Karupin wandered out of my house?" He was gripping the handle of his luggage tightly with his uninjured right hand, his knuckles practically turning white.
Momoshiro looked at his best friend with an amused expression. "Chill, Echizen. It only wandered off to our house two or three times. That fur ball probably misses you." The taller man couldn't help but chuckle when his best friend's mouth curved upwards slightly.
"Anyways," Ryoma's glare returned. "Who else knows?"
Momoshiro laughed nervously. "Details, details," he waved it off. "Now, we better get going or we'll be late. We can't have that now, we can't have that." Before he could protest, Momoshiro took Ryoma's luggage from him and led him to the car.
Ryoma had a bad feeling when Momoshiro parked his car at the parking space opposite Kawamura Sushi Shop. With a heavy sigh, he asked, "Everyone is waiting in there, aren't they?" He glanced at the sushi shop.
"Maa, not really everyone," Momoshiro gave a sheepish laugh. "Just some ex-Seigaku regulars I kept in touch with." And some other people, Momo added in his head. "They all missed you a lot."
He sighed again, knowing he wouldn't be able worm his way out of this gathering, so he followed Momoshiro out of the car. He just hoped that the person he tried to avoid for the past three years wouldn't be there. He braced himself when Momoshiro slide the entrance door open, and went inside after the latter.
He winced when a hyper and cheerful voice called out the dreaded nickname given to him in his freshman year of middle school. "Ochibi!" He turned to see Eiji waving vigorously at him with a big grin on his face. The redhead was sitting crossed leg at the side table, along with Oishi next to him, and Fuji the opposite side of him. Tachibana Kippei and Ann occupied the other table near the legendary Golden Pair, and Sanada and Yukimura occupied the table next to them. He also noticed that Kaidou, Inui, and Yanagi, who were probably invited by Inui, at the counter table. Huh, he thought as he glanced at everyone in the shop. Never thought so many people would be here to see me.
"Come on in, Echizen. Don't just stand there, have a seat," Kawamura exclaimed, motioning towards the two empty seats next to Yanagi. Realizing that Momo had already went off to join Ann; he glared at his best friend. Traitor, he thought.
"You could have a seat here too, Echizen," Yukimura offered. "I would like to hear more about your matches."
"Seiichi, maybe you should let Echizen eat first before interrogating him," Sanada, the young dojo owner told his boyfriend. In return, the dark-haired student doctor pouted at the former.
"I'll just sit by the counter then," Ryoma said, as he closed the door behind him. He went towards the counter table and was about to sit at the unoccupied seat further from Yanagi when the latter spoke, "You don't have to seat so far away, Echizen. I won't bite." Ryoma's face flushed slightly as Yanagi smirked.
"I wasn't scared," he muttered as he slipped on the stool next to Yanagi. "Hisashiburi," he said, and Kaidou and Inui nodded, acknowledging his presence.
"Saa, Echizen, what would you like to eat? Don't be shy, today's meal is on the house."
"Uisu." After Ryoma ordered some salmon sushi, Oishi slipped onto the seat next to him.
"It's been awhile, Echizen," Oishi said. "Are you alright?" he asked, gesturing towards left hand, which was in a cast. "We saw your last Grand Slam match and heard about your injury."
"Aa," he said. "I'll be able to get this cast off in six to eight weeks. Then, probably a month or so for rehab," he grimaced.
Oishi patted him on the shoulder. "You'll get through. Oh, did you hea—"
"Ochibi!" Kikumaru cut in as he glomped onto Ryoma from behind. It was a good thing he had already swallowed his sushi before the hyper Eiji glomped him.
"Eiji," Oishi chastised his best friend.
"Gomen, gomen," Eiji smiled sheepishly. "I just couldn't help myself when Oishi went off to talk to ochibi alone. I wanted to talk to him too."
"88% chance that Echizen will turn—"
"Blue if Kikumaru does not let go of his hold on Echizen, is what you were going to say, wasn't it, Sadaharu?" Yanagi cut in. Inui adjusted his glasses as his mouth curved upwards. Yanagi always knew what he was about to say.
After Eiji let go, Ryoma rubbed his neck while giving the redhead the evil eye. Eiji laughed nervously at that. "You do realize that I'm as tall as you now, Kikumaru-san?"
"Ochibi will always be ochibi! Besides, what's with the formality? Just call me Eiji. And why didn't you keep in touch with us? Or come for a visit? We only ever heard about you from Momo, or from the internet." Eiji pouted after he finished his rant.
"Che," he muttered. "I was busy," and as an afterthought, he added in, "Eiji-san." That was half true. Although the main reason was he didn't want to accidentally bump into Tezuka.
"Eiji," the redhead insisted.
"Yadda," he popped another sushi into his mouth.
"Fine," Eiji puffed his cheeks.
"Eiji…" A big sweat drop appeared on Oishi's head seeing Eiji's childish attitude.
Fuji chuckled. "Both of you are as lively as always." The brunette-haired tensai gave his friends his trademark smile. Ryoma turned around, and nodded at Fuji. "I would like to catch up more, Echizen, but I'm afraid I have to get going."
"Fuji, you're leaving already?" Kawamura asked.
"Yeah," Fuji replied. "I need to get back to the agency. They needed one more photographer immediately."
"Drive safely, Fujiko," Eiji exclaimed, giving his best friend a peace sign.
"Ah," Fuji nodded. He turned his attention back to Ryoma. "I'll see you around, Echizen. We need to catch up after all. I hope your injury will heal fast. It must be frustrating for you." Then, after a wave, he exited the shop.
Oishi shook his head at Fuji's bold words and patted Ryoma's shoulder once more. "We'll leave you to your dinner then, Echizen. But I want to have a word with you before you leave, is that's okay?" After Ryoma nodded, Oishi returned to his own seat, dragging a reluctant Eiji with him.
"Did you and Oishi-san have a nice chat?" Momo asked, glancing at his best friend after the traffic light turned red.
Ryoma nodded. "Why do I get this feeling that you were the one who planned this?"
"Planned what? The gathering?"
"No, the talk with Oishi-san."
"Well, I know that Oishi-san would probably be able to make you listen to reasons," he replied, returning his gaze towards the road. He continued driving when the light turned green.
"If I knew that was your ulterior motive, I wouldn't have come in the first place," Ryoma muttered.
"Stubborn as always, aren't you, Echizen?"
"It's not like I was the one who broke our promise," the 21 years old man grumbled.
He sighed heavily. "Echizen, don't you want to listen to his side of the story first?"
The dark-haired pro tennis player growled. "I don't care. He didn't contact me after that, so same difference."
"If I remember correctly, weren't you the one who refused to answer his calls?" Ryoma sent a glare at Momo's direction since what he said what the truth. "Look, Echizen, just give the man a chance to explain himself. Meet up with him. I promise you, he was as broken as you were when you left."
Ryoma growled as a reply, and refused to say another word to Momoshiro for the rest of the drive to his house.
Tezuka groaned when he woke up with a splitting headache. He tried to remember what happened the night before and groaned again when he realized he had let his guard down. He had forced Oishi to grab a drink with him, and he ended up getting himself drunk.
He went to the kitchen and put the kettle on and then, took a carton of orange juice from the fridge and drank it directly from the box before sitting on the stool near his kitchen counter. He buried his face in his hands. It was foolish of him to behave the way he had the night before just because he heard the news about Ryoma's return. He was with Yukimura and Oishi for lunch when Oishi received a phone call from Momoshiro. When the call ended, the former mother hen of Seigaku's tennis club gave Tezuka an apologetic look before relaying Momoshiro's message to Yukimura and Tezuka.
He pretended to be indifferent about it, knowing why Momoshiro warned him to stay away from the sushi shop that evening. If Ryoma saw him there, then the younger man will definitely go away. It still hurt him a lot that Ryoma wouldn't let him explain. A few months after Ryoma left for America three years ago, Tezuka found out the things his family had done to break them up. Tezuka tried calling Ryoma time and again to apologize, but it was too late. Ryoma wouldn't let him in anymore.
He was about to fix himself a somewhat decent breakfast when he heard his doorbell rang. He thanked his lucky stars that the intensive drumming competition in his head has stopped, although it was still pounding lightly. He went to the entrance of his two-bedroom apartment to open the door. If he had heart problem, he would probably have another heart attack now at the sight of his unexpected guest.
"Good morning, Tezuka-san," Ryoma said hesitantly. He felt like a thousand needles pricked his heart when Ryoma called him by his surname. After a moment, Ryoma said, "Well, you look like hell."
I've been in one for the last three years, was what Tezuka wanted to say but he bit his cheeks before he could say it out loud. Instead, he inhaled and exhaled to regain his composure before saying, "Aa. To what do I owe the pleasure?" He kicked himself inwardly. He didn't mean to sound sarcastic, especially not when he finally get to see Ryoma.
Ryoma stared at him, hard. "I guess I deserved that. I could go if I'm not welcomed—"
"No, don't go!" his outburst made Ryoma glanced at him with a raised eyebrow. He opened the door wider and invited Ryoma in.
After the younger man entered, he looked around and remarked, "I was surprised when Momo told me you moved out of your parents house. However, this apartment is really…you." The apartment has a decent size sitting room with a bookshelf filled with books in a corner, and an open-kitchen the same size as the sitting room with a wooden counter table and three matching stools. Between the sitting room and the kitchen was the dining area with a rectangular dining table set for six people.
He went to the kitchen after gesturing for Ryoma to take a sit on the sofa. Seconds later, he returned with two cups of green tea. "Have a drink," Tezuka said, before disappearing into his bedroom to change out of his pajama.
Ryoma looked around. He felt awkward being in the same place as Tezuka. He looked around again. Then, a photo on the side table caught his attention. It was a photo of him and Tezuka, taken by Fuji during their high school graduation. He frowned when he saw that the photo has traces of being torn into smaller pieces.
"That was the only photo of us that I managed to save."
He almost jumped out of his skin when Tezuka suddenly spoke from behind him. He didn't notice that the brunette has returned. "What do you mean by 'save'?" he asked, curiosity getting the best of him.
"It was a month after you left. I found out that my dad was the one who wrote the letter— I thought it was you. I came home one day and couldn't find any of our photos together. My mother came to my room that night and told me my father destroyed everything, but she managed to save the pieces of one of the photos." Tezuka nodded towards the photo. "I put it back together. I moved out a few weeks after."
After taking in everything Tezuka said, Ryoma asked, "What…What did the letter say?" He noticed that Tezuka's expression changed, and quickly said, "You know what, never mind. I don't want to know."
"Ryoma…" Tezuka said with a pained voice.
"I'm sorry for intruding so early in the morning. This was a mistake," he mumbled. He was about to walk away when Tezuka grabbed his hand and pulled him in an embrace.
"Don't go."
He could feel his heart beating fast when he felt Tezuka's breath on his neck. He could smell Tezuka's familiar wood scented cologne when he breathed in. "This isn't fair," he mumbled against Tezuka's chest. "I came hear to prove to Momo and Oishi-san that I don't feel anything for you anymore. So, how could you just pull me in your embrace and make me all weak-kneed like some girl."
"I've waited so long to see you again, Ryoma," Tezuka said. "I never stopped loving you."
His only reply was to wrap his arms around Tezuka's waist. "I hate you," said his muffled voice. "You always made me lose my resolve." For what seemed like a long time, Tezuka's smile finally returned.
"Oh yeah? When?"
"Before, when I was completely resolved in not telling you that I'm a hermaphrodite, and was born with female organs. But you broke my resolve," he whispered. "You still loved me even though I am a freak."
"You're not a freak," Tezuka said, before capturing Ryoma's mouth in a long, deep kiss.
After that day, they started spending more time together to make up for lost time and to catch up in each other's life. They would sometimes meet up for lunch after Ryoma's rehabilitation session ended, or dinner when Tezuka's training at Sakura Private Hospital ended for the day. Soon after, Ryoma fell in love with Tezuka once more.
A month later, Tezuka proposed, and Ryoma was in love enough to say yes. He was in love enough to accept the fact that their union won't be completely blessed by the Tezuka family. In love enough that when he found out that his reproductive organ weren't dormant, he went through with the pregnancy. In love enough that he decided to take a break from pro tennis life and moved back to Japan.
However, his love didn't stop him from calling Kevin in the middle of the night a year later, asking Kevin to pick him up at Newark International Airport. Kevin knew something must have gone wrong, so the blonde agreed without asking any questions. After he hung up, Ryoma hushed the crying baby he was carrying while trying to stop the tears that threatened to fall once more. The pain he felt now was nothing compared to the time when Tezuka broke his promise a few years ago. He felt like his heart was breaking into a million pieces.
By the time Kevin arrived at the airport to pick him up, he was thankful that his baby girl was finally asleep. Kevin noticed how red Ryoma's eyes and nose were, but decided not to mention it.
"What happened?" Kevin asked, but immediately regretted asking the question when the tears returned to Ryoma's eyes. Kevin was relieved that instead of crying, his best friend just rubbed the tears away.
"Kunimitsu— I— We didn't work out," he answered quietly. His eyes were filled with sorrow. "I had to leave Takuya with him. That's the only way they'd let me keep Chiyo." At that moment, Ryoma's tears fell at the thought of not being able to see his son, Chiyo's twin brother, again.
Kevin was furious, his hands clenched into a fist. "Who?"
"Kunimitsu's grandfather," he managed to choke out, the lump in his throat returning.
Kevin could feel his anger rising. He swore, if he were with Ryoma in Japan that time, he would definitely kill that old man. He inhaled deeply and let it out, trying to control his anger. "C'mon, Ryoma, I'll take you home."
He shook his head. "I don't want to return to my parents home yet," he said. "I'm not ready for questions."
Kevin nodded, "You could stay at my apartment for the night. It's a long drive to your parents house in Greenwich, so we'll visit them tomorrow."
"Thanks, Kev," he said gratefully.
A/N: So, how was it? I know the ending seemed rushed and all but yeah, my muse disappeared, and I just want to get this out. Anyways, please review~

Path to Success → Create 'Deliberate Actions' w/ Josh Elman (Greylock Partners)
Meet The Operators: Josh Elman, Partner @ Greylock, and Silicon Valley veteran has spent the last 15 years building products & teams at great companies. It's rare to have someone work at all the top social networks prior any going mainstream of our time — LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter!
Elman currently invests in social networks, new media, platforms & communication messaging apps, such as @Medium, @AppMeerkat, @Operator, @Nextdoor, @discordapp to name a few.
#MTO (conducted by Zaw Thet) had a chance to catch up with old friend & colleague Josh Elman.
3 Fun Facts About Josh Elman
- Favorite Recent Book: The Outsiders (how the best CEOs manage companies)
- If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be? Benjamin Franklin. He would have so much insight about how one would think about setting up a new world.
- Favorite Superhero? Plastic Man because I felt like he was somewhat attainable.
Top 5 Questions #MTO Asked Josh
- Background: Having one of the most fascinating backgrounds in the Valley. Can you expand a little bit on how you got started?
I graduated from Stanford in '97, and majored in Symbolic Systems which was this awesome mix of computer science, linguistics, philosophy and psychology. I wanted to learn, "How to build products that would affect hundreds of millions of people in their lives?"
That was my goal, and that was what I wanted to go work on. I didn't feel like a founder back in 1997, so I kept saying, "What companies do I think can get really, really big that were still smaller and private?"
I decided to go back to my hometown Seattle, and worked for RealNetworks. They were still called Progressive Networks when I joined. I worked there for 6 years, starting as an engineer and running a larger engineering team. Over time I started to wonder if the company was making the right business decisions and I didn't feel like I had enough understanding from the engineering and product side to make those decisions and learn the right business skills. So I decided to go to Berkeley for the MBA program, moved back down to Silicon Valley, and realized "Oh, what I've learned can be used to drive business decisions as long as you focus on getting the products just right.
As I started business school. I got really excited about social networking. I sent some cold emails to both LinkedIn and Friendster. Eric Ly, CTO of LinkedIn at the time, responded because of the Symbolic Systems at Stanford connection. I ended up dropping out to be one of the very first product managers of about 15 people at the company. (Reid Hoffman, Founder of LinkedIn was also a SymSys major!)
We were in the office on El Camino Real in Mountain View behind a Pizza Hut. I got to work on a ton of early growth stuff. It was an incredible experience. After a couple of years, I realized software in an HR network, in a recruiting network wasn't quite my passion. I decided to follow my passion to go back something more consumer-y. Found a company called Zazzle, doing on demand custom products. I end up spending two and a half years there. I was running product by the end, and the company grew 4–5X in revenue and did tens of millions in revenue, by the time I left.
I thought, "Man, I kind of want to go work at a bigger company because now Zazzle had been 20 when I joined. LinkedIn had 15 when I joined. I was like, "Let me go big. What about Facebook?" It was about 500 something people.
They had to figure out what the next things were. Sheryl Sandberg started the same day. I got to watch this massive cultural change happen at Facebook when the business side just became really, really effective. It kind of went from like, "What are we doing?" to, "She just built a new, incredibly effective organization."
In 2009, one thing I realized is I missed working on core product. Facebook was an incredible company so I didn't think it would be smart to leave though. But I started thinking, "Where can I go to do great product work that has at least as big an opportunity?". Twitter was the one company I found where I just thought, "If I can't quite do the work I want to at Facebook, maybe I can go to Twitter and be part of a much bigger story." I got really excited about Twitter.
Over the six months, I got to know the team a bit more, and joined later that year. They said, "Come over and help us figure out how to make Twitter grow." When I started, "Everyone signs up, but not many stick around. How do we fix that?"
2. Product: How did you help Twitter define its product market fit in the early days? What were some of the questions and challenges you faced?(9min)
At the time, what I thought about was bloggers and media people love to talk. When they were not doing blogging or media, they were talking on Twitter. When they were doing blogging and media, they were, "On Twitter…I heard this." They were already spreading it, even if it wasn't quite as big as it is now.
It was really fun. We tried to figure out (doing a bunch of industry analysis) "Why do people who use Twitter, use Twitter? What is it that hooked them?" One of the challenges was a lot of people heard about Twitter as a place to broadcast. They had nothing to say, didn't want to broadcast. They're not people like you going out doing podcasts and interviews and writing lots of blog posts.
Most of the people didn't want to do that, especially in 2009; but they love to listen and hear from people they cared about and be in this flow. It turned out that when we got you following the right things on Twitter, I call it Tuning Your Twitter — People loved it. (9:20 min)
This is the Ladders of Engagement. How do we get you to understand that Twitter's this unique thing with a Tweet that comes from a person. If you follow people, you get better Tweets. If you check your timeline pretty often, every time you come back, it's new. It's fresh. That was kind of step three. Step four was take it with you — Can we get you to take Twitter with you? Then it was , "Can we get you to participate, reply, favorite, like?" Step six was "Can we get you to Tweet?" We need to get you to understand all these things about Twitter before we even try to get you to Tweet.
The last step was, "If you really love Twitter and you're Tweeting with us; how do we help you gain followers?
Twitter Ladder of Engagement: (read Josh's original post)
- Understand what a Tweet is
- Start following people you are interested in / friends with to make a basic timeline
- Start checking and reading your timeline to see what's new
- Make sure you have mobile apps installed so you can go back and forth with the web app. (this may have been more relevant in 2010 when mobile app wasn't default, but we saw most addicted users were checking from both web and mobile)
- Begin to engage and participate — @ reply, retweets, favorites (now likes)and even Tweet yourself
- Run your first searches and see what other people are saying on Twitter. And learn how to search (this was a hard task for many people since it is so different than traditional search, and a lot of information to parse through)
- Learn to build your following (we didn't expect most users to get here, but we expected power users would care and want to)
It was an eight step ladder, or a pyramid of engagement. My goal was, "How do we just get people over the first few? How do we get them to understand what a Tweet is, understand that following makes it better, understand they're coming pretty often if you're following the right people, Twitter's amazing. I spent most of my time at Twitter trying to work with the team to build features to drive that.
3. Operating: Taking a step back, can you walk us through how the team operated. What was your day to day, week to week as you were figuring these ladders out? (11:20 min)
There were really two different things going on. I started with a growth team that was really me, a designer and three engineers. We eventually got, to 10-12 engineers (Over time it grew a lot more than that). We focused on building one feature at a time. Let's try to build the highest order feature or set of things that will help move the needle on growth, and that will set us up for the next experiment.
For example, SUL (Suggested User List) was a project we worked on that helped with user retention. When you first joined, Twitter would show you 20 people to follow, and almost all of them were random. It wasn't curated, and created noise.
The first thing we did was we changed the model that when you sign up you had to self follow. We'd show you interesting people. We'd try to organize them around topics. We tried to do a lot more algorithmically. We went through and created these new algorithmically generated topics where you could follow individuals.
Basically, we had this roadmap of multiple years of tools we needed to build to better match you up. We just tried to do one at a time and knock 'em down. We had to build better email … Twitter didn't send many emails. I'll come back to that because we actually did some interesting stuff where we tried to build big projects.
4. Culture: As you think about the culture of those teams; as you look backwards to Facebook and LinkedIn, did you have something different at Twitter? (17 min)
The first thing I'd say is the exciting part when you're working on these problems of like, "How do we get the scale?" Was actually really consistent at all three companies. A word that I've used to describe is what I call Deliberate action, which is every time we went and were shipping a feature, deciding to build something, deciding to invest in something we were very deliberate about it.
For example, "we were going to try X because we thought this had the best chance of Y having this kind of outcome Z." Because we could describe the outcome and describe what we hoped to gain from it, we'd say, "Let's go give it a shot." Then we'd take lots of actions. The reason I call it deliberate action is yes, we're taking lots of actions. We do these things. We would ship them. We would push them out.
The second thing that was really important at all three companies was looking back. We always asked, "What happened?", regardless if it turned out well or not. If you don't do the look back two-weeks later. You'd say, "Okay. We actually made these assumptions going in. Did it work or did it not?" You'll never learn. (18min)
5. Hiring: What do you look for in "growth" type of candidates? When you're interviewing, what's the first thing that stands out? And what are some questions you would ask?
The best people who do growth understand how to build good products, how to want to put products in the hands of users and how to understand data to help them deliver how to build new products. What's interesting about this growth term, (It feels all new and fancy), is it's really traditional marketing with the recognition that building new features connects you to product marketing.
We used to live in a world where products that we know best were going to use a little bit of data and mostly our instinct and just build a great product. Then somebody over in marketing is going to make sure they put it in the right hands. Marketing people then say, "Oh. We need a feature. We need a landing page." The engineering team would grumble and give them a landing page. Then Marketing would say, "We need another landing page." The engineering team would grumble and say, "Okay. Well, this is your last one".
That's the shift when you combine these skills, when you combine product and engineering, thinking about building features, building new software, building things that matters to users and separates it. Ultimately, I really look for the same skills I want to see in a great product manager which is: Do you understand user needs, data that tells you about user needs and how to work with a team of engineers to build something great? If you understand that, you should be able to build great work at growth and great work at building the next cool feature.
The next piece I look at, is case studies. When I'm doing interviews, I really look for how they talk through case studies and how they think and how they analyze problems. Some of my top questions I like to ask are…
"What product do you like? How did you find out about it? How did you onboard? What do you think could have made that happen faster, sooner, better? What was perfect? What's great with on-boarding?"
The second thing is, raw understanding of the big scope of business. One of the key things of understanding growth is understanding what habits are actually driving users to you and how that ended up generating revenue.
What's funny in growth is if you're A/B testing, a lot of the tests will hit because they're in micro-optimizations. If you're working on big features, that you think will have an impact, when you get one right and it causes a real lift, you've made such a bigger difference that you want to keep swinging. You know, baseball … A great baseball hitter hits 300. That's like one third of the time they get a hit; and over 300, you're excellent.
BONUS: What's it like working for some great leaders? Reid Hoffman (Founder of LinkedIn), Ev (Co-Founder of Twitter), etc. Any commonalities and recommendations on what works and doesn't when you're working for someone like that?
When you're working at a company. What is hard to realize is you're actually working to help that founder, that CEO, that set up board everything else. You're working to help them realize the dream of why they made the company, why they founded it, why they did it. I don't want to say you serve at the leisure of the president, but in some ways you do, right?
If you really want to go and make your own company and your own ideas, do exactly what you want, you should found a company. If you want to go and realize that somebody started a company, and a bunch of people had already joined before you to go work on their vision. Collectively, everybody's great work can help that vision be achieved is exceptional. The thing that really inspired me about people like Ev, Reid and I got to work under Mark (Zuckerberg) at Facebook, is they set the vision of where we were aiming in the world and laid it out how important it could be; how important we all were to helping that become that vision.

Cloud servers provide a lot of benefits to users. You can access your data from anywhere in the world and share files between users so everyone can access the data they need when they need it. Cloud hosting also allows employees to conduct business from remote locations, so daily operations don't stop when someone is out of the office.
Cloud computing lets you keep your business operating no matter where in the world your employees find themselves. However, even though your data is stored safely on a cloud server, this doesn't absolve you of the responsibility to make a backup of your data on your own servers. There are several justifications for this.
When you use a cloud server, it's important to keep in mind that you don't actually own the server that your data is being stored on. You are simply renting the resources to store your data on that server. Cloud hosting servers are typically not dedicated to one user; each server also hosts many other users. The hosting company can remove your access at whim. There may be other problems with access, such as short-term outages, a compromise of data or too many users on the system at one time. The hosting company may also have their own issues such as long-term service outages or natural disasters that limit or restrict your access to the information you have stored on the cloud. The company may even cease operations without notice, leaving you in a bind without your files. By having your own backup, you will ensure that you have what you need in the event of an emergency and you are not completely dependent upon anyone else for your information.
It can be tempting to contract the services of a cloud hosting provider and then sit back and relax, thinking that your data is protected and you can spend your time handling other aspects of your daily operations. However, this isn't the case. When you contract to use the services of a cloud hosting provider, it is still your responsibility to keep a backup of your files. Your contract with the hosting service will likely stipulate this as well. In the event of an outage, the host will do their best to retrieve your files once service is restored, but you should still have your own backup just in case your information cannot be retrieved. In addition, you have no recourse in the event the cloud goes down and your information is lost. Taking the time to schedule a regular backup of your files will help you avoid a bad situation.
Backing up your own data on-site allows you to have the files that you need in the event that your cloud hosting service is inaccessible either temporarily or permanently. It is recommended that you back up data daily to reduce the chance of a catastrophic loss of data. There are several backup methods you can take advantage of. Taking the time to plan ahead and make sure your data is protected will help you avoid unforeseen problems in the future.
