Chapter 9
On the Road to Change
The attack was actually one last attempt by the remnants of the Dark Empire. They neutralized the Senshi, but not one fully enraged Goddess. A couple of Urd bolts scattered the pathetic attack.
As he had come out of it, people started to pester him about what had happened.
Surprising them, he turned the tables on them when he asked what happened with all that damage in the area. The Senshi proudly told them what they did, but he could see Urd putting her face in her hands. He would find out later what really happened and did. They on the other hand didn't find out what happened to him. He told them it was private and they respected that. Although Sailor Mercury knew something was up when he gave her a searching look.
What he did give them was a direction he pointed. As they looked, they saw... well... a Goddess. She had a slim and graceful figure with a face of a cat and no one could mistake her for anyone else.
Bastet, Goddess of children, pregnant women and pleasure. She was the mother of all cats.
Before she vanished, she came over to Ranma and touched his forehead and whispered something to him that only he heard and then said aloud, "Go forth and embraccce your desssstiny."
What surprised them all was that he started changing. He clutched his head as things came rushing into his head. His muscles were getting more defined and his eyes became slitted. As he calmed down, he moved with grace and power. The biggest difference was the power was behind those smothering eyes. Much more than even after Saffron and fully contained, but was there waiting to be unleashed if necessary.
As people gaped, Urd vowed to find out what happened and how Ranma knew Bastet.
A month later
It was time he left the hospital. The doctors fully discharged him and thanked him for his help. His, Ryouga and Mousse's ability to see auras had helped them diagnosed diseases in many people.
Ranma was happy to leave into the world, but saddened to leave a place that was more like home to him than anywhere else. So much had happened to him that he hadn't had time to sort it out yet. There was a tearful farewell by the staff, especially Cream and Urd.
The feelings for Urd that he had before had intensified with his memories. She had extracted a promise from him to see her at the temple when he felt that he was ready. She knew full well that always keeps his promised.
He formally presented the cheque to the hospital. They both gasped when they saw it. When they told him that it was too much, he told them that it was the place where he made a new start and new friends.
They remembered his farewell in the children's ward.
The children were sad to see him go and may tried to hold their tears back, but couldn't. He did tell them that he will comeback to visit and that he will have more stories to tell them. They immediately perked up, but were still sad.
The last person in the children's ward he saw was Sammi. The doctors weren't hopeful of her recovery. The doctor and nurse on duty stepped back when he came, knowing the special bond between them.
Ranma went up to her and saw her fear because she knew she was dying and she didn't want to. With his new abilities, he also recognized another form in her ki, Tsunami, from his trip into mastery. He looked into her aura and said, "Little one, I have one last present for you."
With that, he placed both hand over the back of her and started pumping his life force into the area in high volume. He learned this from some of the scrolls in the library. The refined method was to feel the person's life force and try to mimic it. From there to pump the ki into the injury for it to close up. If it was a disease then an influx of a lot of power so that the body natural healing would overcome it. It was as dangerous for the recipient as for the wielder as both could die from using too much ki.
In his trip into mastery, he had been reliving all of his lives. One of his lives included the relations with the Jurai. He realized as he remembered the attack during the transfer by Kagato was that he used a deadly attack. By any other name it was death energy or just anti-ki, energy that cancels out any type of energy that is produced by living things, especially Jurai energy. Ranma understood that ki can do little about the anti-ki energy, but what if... you can PUSH it out of her body with more ki than it could handle. This would save her. All he had to do was flood her body to the brink and force it out.
Everyone could see that Sammi seemed to glow brighter and brighter until they could see a dark the splotch on her chest that seemed to radiate tentacles. As more energy was pumped in, the splotch started to move and being pushed as the two energies battled for supremacy. He found that despite his knowledge, his magic, his power; it wouldn't be enough. He was just short of the amount he needed as he kept on pumping and the chi kept on fighting him. The splotch tried to grow more quickly, but the only direction it could go was up and away from Sammi. He could see it try to move away, but he kept on directing it to it. Ranma knew that he had to keep going and suddenly, Ryouga was there, with Mousse and Ka Heem and the other nurses and even Ryo who jumped on his head lent her power. They were lending their ki to his to save Sammi.
As the battle was being lost, Ranma bent over and muttered for only Sammi to hear, "Please Sammi, you must help also. You must live." Sammi opened her eyes at that point and just nodded as she felt the others help also. Ranma would never tell, but he could swear that he felt, not only Sammi, but another as well. They were linked and he felt their determination and they both pushed together. The nurses, Mousse, Ryouga, Dr. Tofu and then Ka Heem fell to the side as they could give no more. Now only both Ranma and Sammi were left and both started to glow brightly and after an infinite amount of time, the splotch on her chest broke the surface of her skin and it fell from her chest. With contact with the air, it started to disintegrate as the air with too little chi to sustain it until it was no more.
Ryouga and Mousse were in awe. The amount of ki used was more than they thought anyone could have. It more than dwarfed the powers of Kirin, Herb and Saffron combined.
Everyone was turned to Sammi. "Was it enough? Or was it too much of a shock to her system?" they all wondered. Ranma still had his hands on Sammi's back an he started to stir. Moments after, to everyone's delight, Sammi stirred and then struggled to move. Ryo was ecstatic as she jumped from his head to hers. Sammi was doing so much better. A second later after the cheers, she fell down and everyone held their breath until she got up and gave Ranma a huge glomp, knocking him over onto his back.
At first a chuckle then Ryouga started laughing and then Mousse then the laughter started and flowed through the room. Ranma, who was in shock, could see that Sammi was better, but with his enhanced senses could also see that another being who was doing better as well. The doctor immediately hustled Sammi out of the room and to the examination table to run some tests. Ryo ran after them.
It was later found that the wasting disease was gone, but they were taking no chances and put her in observation. This was the first time the disease had been defeated. This had to be written up and then reality came and they thought no one will believe them. Most of the world didn't know that this kind of powerful chi exists.
End of Flashback
The very day after he left the hospital
Both Mr. Kuonji and Ukyou were completely surprised when their lawyers told them that the contract by one Ranma was complete. It stunned both of them when they found out that Ranma himself had just walked into their lawyer's office and delivered it. He had been completely polite and professional when he met their lawyers and Ukyou's fiancee, Hakura. The lawyers gave the confirmation that the full payment of the one hundred million yen (about 10 million US dollars). Ranma gave them a curt nod and told them that all the terms of the contract was now fulfilled and wanted a receiipt.
His last words were, "Our business is finally finished for good."
Later, despite the attempts to keep it quiet, they did find out through other channels that Ranma's dishonour wasn't actually his. His was the one who had his honour trampled upon.
They would find out that money was one thing. The prestige and honour that Ranma had generated would have outstripped anything they could have imagined.
Both Shampoo and Ukyou had forgotten the one rule with Ranma.
Never say impossible when taking about him.
He was looking forward to the future.
The tests for university were written and he had pulled his grades up just enough to get squeak into get a letter of invitation to the University of Tokyo. He also applied to many Universities around the world. He wanted to get away from Nerima. Surprisingly, Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Oxford, Cambridge, Hamburg, Paris, British Columbia and Toronto were ones who responded to him.
From the hospital, Ranma said his final farewell as he walked toward the Tendo Dojo.
As he walked to Nerima, he found that it hadn't changed much in the last few months.
"Never fails, eh?" Ranma thought with long suffering sigh.
He understood that they might get splashed some more before they make it to the dojo, so he didn't use his hot water yet. He also wasn't so uncomfortable with his female form. He was still a guy, but he was used to it and couldn't be bothered about it since he would get splashed several times a day.
He all kept on getting splashed when changed into his uncursed form. He gave up trying to change before he got to the Tendo dojo after the third splash.
Looking round in Nerima, it looked smaller, dirtier and, well ... ordinary.
In his mind, it took on a more perfect quality which was now shattered. Not unlike his naivity to his life. He knew he had to confront his former life before he could move on.
When he were almost there, he went into the back of his pack and dug out a thermos. He had several spares. He was still a water magnet, but it seems it was less in the hospital. He had come prepared.
As he was coming to the dojo, he was surprised when it was Genma and Mr. Tendo who was there. It was a school day and Kasumi was out shoppping. They stared at each other for a while, but it felt weird. The words, "the schools must be joined" didn't come out of their lips for the first time he can remember being at the dojo. Genma seemed more somber, while Mr. Tendo seemed at peace.
What he was really staring at were his eyes that were slitted like a cat. It tickled their memories, but they couldn't remember why they were actually terrified of them.
"Hello Ranma." said Genma, "It has been a while." The change in Genma was profound. He wasn't the pig headed father, but a person to be respected when he showed Ranma the techniques. Genma explained that he had a call from Kuno and knew that Ranma did know of his history. That had been five days before Ranma's release. The time had given Genma to remember his friend Renjiro Tanaka. It had also given him time to really talk with his old friend. It took them all that time to get to a solution to resolve their problem.
Their problem was honour. It wasn't until Ranma came to the dojo to confront his past, that they thought that something could be salvaged. The Tendo name was stained beyond belief. Destroying someone's reputation, truly finding out that their so called honour was a sham and finally the maiming of Ranma was all that Soun could take. It was then he took down the Dojo sign and told Ranma to come back later that night.
He also found that Kuno and his father confronted Kodatchi. It was a nasty argument, but in the end to save the Kuno name, Kodatchi will have Kuno Industries in Japan, but Kuno and his father would move out of the country and control Kuno Industries outside of Japan. Kodatchi will be able to keep her name, but neither her or any of her children will have the Kuno name after her. After that, Principal Kuno and Kuno formally acknowledge that they have no sister/daughter. Both Kunos had finally realized that Kodatchi that they had known had died long ago when Mrs. Kuno died.
The final part was that Mrs. Kuno's room was finally opened and searched the secret rooms. In it they found Renjiro and will have a grand burial in the Tanaka plot. Mrs. Kuno will remain buried in the Kuno plot, away from her brother. It seemed a fitting end for them to be apart in death when she ruined his life to get together when he was alive.
Ranma came alone and on time to the dojo.
It was before dinner and Mr. and Mrs. Satome was there as well.
"What are you doing here, ronin." said Mrs. Satome, not designing to even look at him.
"Baka..." Akane started saying before being cut off by his slitted eyes. She felt suddenly nervous, but when that happened she usually turned it to anger.
Soun said, "I invited him here because it has come to my attention that there are many things that will be discussed this night." in his voice was the man they remembered before their mother died, a sensei, master of himself.
As Mrs. Satome was about to leave, Ranma took out the Satome Honour Sword and handed it to Genma who took the sword and swiftly placed it on his wife's neck, close enough to draw blood. The sword was a curious colour of off grey.
This surprised her, Genma was a weak coward and never used any weapons. Yet the proficiency that he handled the blade had startled her. The cold ice in his eyes made her see the man he was all those years ago when Renjiro was alive and it filled her with dread. She slowly dropped to her knees and Genma removed the sword.
The others girls were in shock, but were more so whey they saw Ranma's eyes. Somewhere in their minds, something screamed at them to remember.
"I think we will listen to what will be said." said Genma.
It was at that cue that Soun looked at his daughters. He studied them, one at a time. They felt his eyes on them and for the first time, he didn't look away, meeting their gaze with one of steel. One was of disappointment and the other one was of disgust.
The first one that he looked at was that of Nabiki. "At first, I had thought that it would have been you who would be the one who most disappointed me, but I was wrong. You were the only one who truly tried to change some of the things that happened to Ranma. The one that, despite being the "Ice Queen", was the voice of reason, but in many others, you were worse than the others...
Before any of them could respond, he continued, "As of now, the profits made on Ranma, whether in your trading ventures, they are stopped, now and what remains are his." This surprised Nabiki to fumble for her phone, but stopped as he said, "Don't try. It's the law, Ranma is now 18 and is entitled to it."
"Entitled!" yelled an outraged Mrs. Satome.
"Shut up!" yelled Genma, with that he glowed. His eyes told her that if she passed the line she will be HURT. Mrs. Satome backed down more stunned than intimidated.
"But it is you Akane and especially you Kasumi that truly disappointed me. Akane with your temper, you never did grow up. YOU AREN'T THE BEST! Pride and temper are your worst enemies. In this I truly hope that you will do better with Honda than you did with Ranma." a shocked look on Akane's face. Secrets were being opened and the air was thick with it, "Kasumi, out of all of the others, you are the one I least expected to do...THIS."
He looked again out to the three as he saw the retort in their eyes, "I know that I wasn't the best of a father after your mother's death, but when I did recover..." the others looked skeptical, "...but you locked me out of your lives and made it so that I couldn't do anything.
"The few students that endured my pain I had wouldn't have left, if not for Akane for beating them up thinking they were perverts to Nabiki extorting yen from them. The worst was my last student. You, Kasumi, gave him Akane's cooking. He almost died. I had to mortgage the dojo to help him in his recovery, to cover legal expenses and compensate his family. He has now permanent kidney and liver damage." The shocked expressions told him the truth. As they never even tried to find out what happened to the person. They thought he mortgaged the dojo for some crackpot schemes of his.
"The damage was even more severe than that. The dojo was considered... unsuitable for anyone else. No one else wanted to be taught because of the fear for their lives."
As he took a deep breath, he continued, "Under all of your arrogance, you are as GOOD as you THOUGHT Ranma was, but yet you NEVER had his HONOUR." The stressed words were having an affect.
As this sunk in, he reached under the table and he took out the dojo sign and the Tendo Honour Sword. The girls were puzzled by this.
They were enlightened as he said, "Look at this, it represents honour. Determination, dedication, patience and being accountable for all things in the dojo. Never take anything for granted was what founded this school of ANYTHING GOES. In your acts of dishonour to Ranma, you have dishonoured yourselves, the school and more importantly the Tendo name. You have been living with him, sleeping in the same house as him and going to the same school with him for almost two years. In all that time, he has never done anything to dishonour anyone. He actually kept everyone's honour intact. He was the most honourable person anyone could meet."
Mr. Tendo stopped as he glared at his daughters and then continued, "Yet, you still listened to HER. Yes, she was his mother and head of the Satome Clan, but right from the start she dishonoured her own son who she saw for the first time in TEN YEARS, on the first day. For this, it is up to me to remedy it." as he started to glow green and in one swift move with the sword, sliced the sign into bits. It looked like he never moved, but the bits of wood told a different story.
This shocked everyone. For the girls, it was the crushing of honour. For the Genma, it was destruction of a dream. For Ranma, it was the loss of a sensei, but the return of the man who founded the dojo.
"Without honour, it was just a useless piece of wood." he continued as he looked at their shocked expressions, "From now on, I consider my daughters dead when they nearly killed Ranma." As he stood up, he said, "The dojo and the house are yours. It was once a place of great honour, but now a place tainted with great shame. Do as you will with it. As I know you will sell it."
It was only after that tirade that he went upstairs to gather his things along with the Tendo Honour Sword.
It was then that Ranma remembered a movie that he saw all those years ago in America. Someone translated it for him, but never understood how it could happen, until now. The movie was with Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia. It was about a alcoholic who was out of the family for years until she sobered up then she found that there was no place for her and the others resisted to change. This was almost the same.
Soun was emotionally broken and taken years to recover, but what happened was that his esteem in the Art was compromised when his daughters took charge of his life. When he did recover, he found that his daughters had no use for him and his couldn't handle his independence from them.
They should have been happy that their father was back and would be able to provide for them again, but it didn't happen. Four years was too much time. They were too set in their ways and acted accordingly to what they perceived as a threat to their status. They eliminated it. His independence and placed him under their thumb for the next six years.
It was only now that they realized that they crushed him almost as thoroughly as when his great love, their mother, died.
Before anyone could do anything, Genma spoke in a very grave tone at Nodoka. "Today a great wrong will be righted. As Soun considers his daughters dead, so I consider you dead as well. You aren't the woman I married years ago. She died when she let the hate fill her." This was the Genma of years ago when he was with Renjiro. The real honourable man under all that excess and greed.
Ranma continued where Genma left off, "It was a time of long ago, the rain was fierce and in the mist a car hurtling over a curve struck a person... with a pigtail just before he was supposed to meet a woman he loved. He didn't die immediately and was taken to the best hospital where he died. The woman he loved searched high and low for him, but never found him, never knowing that his sister had already taken him away. Where the woman took the sister's word, who she knew hated her, that he left her and it poisoned whatever feeling she ever had for him."
Nodoka didn't seem to listen, but Ranma saw the small twitch and still continued.
"She let the woman take vengeance for her. On the son that she would bore and marry a man she didn't love, but for revenge. A friend of the pigtailed man and herself where after 19 years, came back and gave his fiancees and the fiancee's family the vengeance that the sister sought from the grave.
"That didn't happen. Only a lucky stroke made him live and the kindness of the hospital where the son of the pigtailed man died did his son emerge as a grown man... from there he had found the truth..." from his pocket, he produced a yellowed letter, "...a letter written by the pigtailed man before he died to the woman he loved and their unborn child before death and his sister had taken him. Only a failthful servant had taken the letter before his mistress could have destroyed it, which is now delivered to it's rightful place."
With that, he let the yellowed envelope fall with just a wisp in front of her. Nodoka's eyes widened as she recognized the unique brush strokes that made up her and Ranma's names and started to tremble with thought of the message it contained. The trembling stopped when the icy vengeance that had encased her fragile heart cracked. What really broke it was that the writing was written in blood. His blood.
It was then that she felt pain. No one had done anything, but there was pain nevertheless. As everyone turned to the crackling sound that emanated from the Satome Honour Sword with the same errie white glow around Nodoka as they could almost see wisps of white swirling around her.
Nabiki, Akane and especially Kasumi were still. For the first time, they could feel spirits in the room. Angry spirits. As aburptly as the spirits came, they left... except one. A great feeling of disappointment fell over them as the candles that were burning at their mother's shrine were suddenly blown out and the presence vanished.
The tension broke when Akane, true to blinded form, yelled, "Ranma no baka, I'll finish what I started!" and produced her war hammer. She tried to use the Umisenken, but was shocked when Ranma seemed to know where she was and dropped her flat on her back with a single punch. The hammer came down and shattered into a thousand pieces when he casually swiped it with his ki claws.
Soun had just come down and was in shock. After she tried three more tries to hit Ranma with three more of her mallets, Soun actually did an Anything Goes modified Demon Head Attack and for the first time it actually did damage. He had whipped his head forward and it shot out like a ki blast that hit Akane. This attack drove her into the wall and rendered her unconscious. Everybody was shocked. An actual ki attack by Mr. Tendo and it was on his own daughter... well former daughter.
Even though Nabiki knew that Akane did deserve that, she was still mad at her former father and Ranma for hurting her sister until she saw his biting gaze, knowing that she was responsible for that too. Kasumi had ran to and knelt by Akane ad found to her relief that she was alright.
"The money that I made for you, Nabiki, is mine. All those bank accounts." Ranma said, "I checked them myself."
At this, Nabiki ran upstairs and took her laptop looked into her accounts. They were all closed, except her earliest one. As she looked up, Ranma continued, "But I did leave you with enough money to keep the house and livelihood for a few years. Those blackmailing info is erased, even the one in your locker. Be lucky that I don't turn it over to the police. I did keep a copy of your files just in case you try some revenge. If you do try anything at all, it will be sent to the police and you know as well as I do what the 'good people' of Nerima will do to you."
Speechless, she when knew that she could never cover her tracks and if it was turned over to the police and the influential people would destroy her and her life. She thought of vengeance when she looked at Ranma and suddenly saw the intelligence in them and... a hungry look for vengeance that made her shiver. He had learned some very valuable lessons concerning her and she knew that she didn't want to know first hand what it was or how he improved upon them.
Besides, she now knew that Mrs. Satome had omitted very important information about Ranma to get them on her side. The dishonour that she said was his was really on her.
What surprised her was the look in his eye.
They were just getting the scheme to get some more money when then next weird thing arrives when Ranma suddenly said, "Nabiki, when are you going to get out of the blackmailing busness?"
As she was about to say that it wasn't any of his business when she reconsidered it. She was thinking about it because she was going to go into university and didn't want the baggage, "One day. That's when we do not need the money."
Ranma had a thoughtful look on his face and nothing was said about his later on.
End of Flashback
She then opened the earliest account and found to her surprise that half the money from the other accounts were transferred to it. The other half was transferred to Soun's bank account that she was using for household expenses. She then closed her computer very slowly and looked down. She didn't want to show the others about the tremendous respect she had for him. Despite whatever they did to him, he was still cared enough for them to let them live their lives.
Genma said to Nodoka, "You are no longer a Satome, you have dishonoured the name FAR more than I could EVER have." He then turned to Ranma and continued, "I will reinstate you if you so want, but it is up to you. Your parents will surely know. The ninja that followed your orders and had given me the insane training schedule reports directly to the Emperor himself."
Before he left his shaken former mother, he said, "Do whatever you want with the letter. Cut it up, burn it, throw it away or even don't believe it if you read it. Know that you ONCE could had the love of your life and you turned your back on him... even in death." he then turned to the two Tendo sisters, "Without trust there is nothing for a foundation."
With that, he took out a bottle of 110 Shampoo and used his variation of the Xi Fa Xiang Gao technique on his former mother and the Tendos women. Cologne had given him the technique to finish this chapter in his life with the Amazons and the Tendos. He had improved upon the original and now even the counter to the technique original formula would do no good.
Akane yelled, "What did you do, you pervert?!"
He merely replied, "I took away the all the moves except the Tendo Style from your minds as they didn't belong to you, including muscle memory." He then looked at his former mother in a deathly quiet voice that she remembered Renjiro having only when he was really angry, "I also took all of Renjiro's moves from your mind as you didn't deserve to have that in his memory." His former mother seemed afronted at that.
"You had no right!" yelled Akane before anyone could react.
"I HAD EVERY RIGHT. It wasn't a Tendo or Satome Technique to begin with, but another's so you aren't entitled to it." Ranma countered and as mad as Akane was, she knew she couldn't do anything about it.
His former mother said nothing as she knew who originated the techniques. She was about to voice her displeasure when she remembered that Renjiro had said it was for his blood descendent, not his son as he knew of ways that could make his son a ronin at no fault of his own as it had happened many times in the past with his family. Renjiro made her and Genma swear on all their honour that only the his descendent will know it. Genma had broken his word, but when Copycat Ken said that he would not pass on the techniques, his honour was restored.
Both Nabiki and Kausmi said nothing, but Kasumi's eyes burned.
Ranma's eyes burned right back with an intensity that exceeded Kasumi's and said the most dreaded thing that all the Tendos have ever head, "I'm really glad that your mother isn't here to see what all of you have become." He took no satisfaction at the way Kasumi and Akane snapped up, but reamained defiant until they would fully realize later THEY were ones who wronged him.
Soun were just waiting for them outside as they walked out the door of the compound Ranma gave Soun a nod and disappeared, never to set foot in Neima again.

Some completions. Kinda cheezy.

ABOUT CARS; Chasing Down the Best Buy
By Marshall Schuon
Published: April 4, 1993
LOLEEN had her nose in a newspaper, her feet up on the new blue recliner. "Maybe we ought to think about a new car," she said.
"Um," I said, encouched across from the TV and hip-deep in a rerun of "The Rockford Files." Rockford was fleeing the baddies in his old gold Firebird. They had guns; he didn't.
"I was talking to one of the guys from work," my wife said. "A lawyer. He was wondering whether to buy or to lease. And I was thinking about our Prelude. It's too low. I could probably drive it, but I can't get into it."
Loleen has had knee surgery, which is the reason for the new recliner. And why she hasn't driven the Honda in two months.
"Um," I said. Rockford had a blonde next to him. The bad guys wanted to kill her.
"Anyway, I thought maybe we should replace the Prelude," Loleen said. "The guy from work was asking me about buying or leasing, and I told him you know about that stuff, and it got me to thinking."
"Uh huh," I said. The bad guys' car had just flipped over and burst into flame, something that happens a lot on television.
"So what do you think," she said, just in time for the commercial break.
"Think about what?" I said.
Well, about buying or leasing, as it turns out.
Enter Mark Scheinberg, executive director of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which is sponsoring the New York auto show that opens next Saturday.
Actually, nobody knows whether to buy or lease, despite all the how-to stories and the commercials with their teeny caveats at the bottom, and that is why the organization has put out a pamphlet to tell us all what we need to know.
"People should take a look at their own needs and finances," Scheinberg said. "What leasing has made available is an option that people find very attractive."
The booklet -- available free at the show, from dealers in the New York metropolitan area, or anywhere in the country by mail -- tells you how to buy a car or to find the best deal on a lease. The address is 18-10 Whitestone Expressway, Whitestone, N.Y. 11357, and it is important to include a self-addressed stamped envelope.
"This booklet was put together as a guide to help people find the car of their dreams," Scheinberg said. "I know that sounds silly, but we tried hard with this thing. It pulls together the input from consumer agencies as well as from our dealers, so it represents the thinking from without as well as from within."
Among the main features of the brochure are its worksheets, with boxes that can be checked off to determine exactly what a customer wants and can afford.
"A car, whether new or used, is a major investment, and buying a car is an involved process," the booklet says. "But in the end, it's your car and your money, so don't be shy about asking questions."
In that regard, it adds, you need to come up with your own purchase plan, and then evaluate such things as the desired size of the vehicle, the style that pleases you, how you will use it, and safety factors such as air bags, antilock brakes and child-proof door locks.
"So many factors go into the selection and purchase of a car today that prospective buyers should not march coldly into a showroom or car lot unprepared," the booklet says, adding that buyers need to be their own consumer advocates and that they need to do their homework.
To that end, it adds, a customer needs to narrow down the choices, evaluating a car in terms of exterior, interior and drivability. The various checklists make all of that easy.
There remains, of course, the question of whether to buy or to lease, and the brochure offers these tips:
You probably want to buy if you drive more than 15,000 miles a year, if you truly want to own the vehicle or if you plan to modify the car in any way.
On the other hand, you might do well to lease if you prefer lower monthly payments, want to put little or no money down or figure that you'd like to have a new car every two years or so.
But there are cautions about leasing, too, including extra costs for early termination of the contract and charges for excess mileage.
In any case, the brochure says, it is a good idea to inspect your new car when it is delivered and to test-drive it before acceptance. If there is anything wrong, have it noted in writing.
Rockford never does that, by the way. But he should. The blonde was lying to him from the start, and he took it all at face value. He was lucky to catch the bad guys. Especially without a gun. YOUNG CUSTOMERS ARE HARDER TO PLEASE
Whether people are satisfied with the automotive buying experience seems to be more related to their age than to gender and other differences, according to a survey by J. D. Power and Associates, a California consulting firm.
The company's Sales Satisfaction Index, which gives manufacturers a tool to gauge customer treatment in the sales and delivery process, tracks buyers' attitudes during the first several years of ownership. And it shows that buyers younger than 35 are harder to please than their elders.
The index is based on questions about the salesperson, delivery of the vehicle and its condition, and it is computed without regard to age. When age is factored in, however, the rankings differ.
"Lexus remains the No. 1-rated nameplate regardless of age bias," the study said. "But after that, the overall order of the top five finishers (Lexus, Cadillac, Infiniti, Lincoln and Mercedes-Benz) undergoes significant change."
With age bias eliminated, the nameplates that finished on top were Lexus; a tie between Saturn and Infiniti; Mercedes-Benz, and a tie between Saab and Lincoln."

Montserrado County District 13 Representative Saah Joseph
Rep Joseph Cautions Ex-AFL Widows
By Winnie Dixon/LINA
MONROVIA, December 17 (LINA) –Montserrado County District 13 Representative Saah Joseph, has called on widows of former soldiers of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) to desist from strike actions and violence in seeking redress to their plight.
He said the solution to their problem is humanitarian in nature and as such, they must endeavor to seek solutions to their plight through peaceful dialogue.
Speaking to the widows on Tuesday hours after they besieged the seat of lawmakers, the National Legislature, he indicated that "as mothers of the land, you must collaborate with government and partners to establish a personal relationship and identify the main problems and a subsequent permanent solution."
"I understand your pains, but sitting on the hot floor and stopping the flow of traffic is not healthy for our country and signals a bad picture for us as Liberians", he stressed.
Earlier, the widows besieged the Capitol Building for hours, impeding the free flow of traffic in demand of US$5,000.00 for each of its over
3,800 members.
In an interview with reporters before Representative Joseph's intervention, the head of the group, Esther Myers, pointed out that their action was prompted by government's failure to pay benefits owed them.
"The budget has passed and we did not hear anything that will address our financial plight; so we think that the lawmakers do not pity our condition and will not help us," she added.
This is the second time the widows are besieging the Capitol Building. It can be recalled that in mid-May this year, dozens of widows stormed the Capitol Building setting up road blocks at both entrances of the Capitol Building, thus preventing members of the National Legislature and visitors from entering and leaving the building in demand of payments promised them in 2006.
Meanwhile, Representative Saah Joseph is scheduled to meet the leadership of the widows on Wednesday, December 17.

Description: Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History In this study of the fateful encounters between Europe and Asia on the shores of a legendary sea, Neal Ascherson explores the disputed meaning of community, nationhood, history, and culture in a region famous for its dramatic conflicts. What makes the Back Sea cultures distinctive, Ascherson agrues, is the way their comonent parts came together over the millennia to shape unique communities, languages, religions, and trade. As he shows with skill and persuasiveness, Black Sea patterns in the Caucasus, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Turkey, and Greece have linked the peoples of Europe and Asia together for centuries.

This drove me mad, while following the aurelia getting started guide I got as far as adding my GitHub credentials to API requests before I realised the terminal window or command prompt couldn't see JSPM.
Everything pointed to the PATH variable not being set correctly but from what I could see everything was. In the end through some persistent searching I found this post: JSPM not working from command prompt.
And to develop a little further on that solution adding %appdata%\npm to the windows environment variable PATH solved the issue entirely.

Your Power of Personal Magnetism:
The 7 Qualities of The World's Most Charming People
"A highly-developed charisma confers immense personal power on you, if only because, being more people-oriented, and more empathic than most, you will, on several different levels, better connect with people, allowing you to attract immense human goodwill anywhere you find youself." – Yomi Garnett.
The word 'charisma' is classically defined as a compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in other people. Put in other words, charisma is that innate quality that makes one a likable person. Although self-apologists are inclined to deprecate the pervasive influence of other people, for good, and for bad, in the affairs of man, the incontestable fact is that our fortunes are necessarily dependent on the impression we make on others. That is why it becomes compellingly necessary for us to be likable, at least to some degree.
The classic picture of a charming person is not entirely alien to our imagination.
He is poised. He is confident. When he speaks to people, he does so in a firm and measured enunciation that is delivered in a relaxed tone, and in words that are well-chosen for effective and easy amiability.
He also projects a classy but understated appearance that has the invariable propensity to fixate everyone around him. He entrances everyone, effortlessly attracting attention to himself the way magnet attaches steel to itself.
He radiates an incomparable energy and confidence that totally enamors even the most reticent individuals that come into contact with him.
His does not, however, possess incomparable charm because of what he says, or how he looks. The true essence of the charismatic energy he projects is simply a function of his entire being.
When you are engaged in dialogue with this charming fellow, you unwittingly feel yourself effortlessly inspired by, not only his ideas, but your own ideas, which inexorably bud from his place of profound emotion and infectious passion.
What does this person have that inspires so much?
What does this person have that draws others to him?
He speaks very well.
He is socially adroit.
He projects an attractive and exciting image with effortless ease.
His mystique lies in all of these.
But, he has something else.
He has charisma.
The fascinating thing about charisma is that, although it is usually difficult to say why someone has it, we all recognize it the instant we encounter it.
I have devoted consummate attention to the study of charisma.
This is my own carefully contrived definition of it.
Charisma is the ability to positively influence others by connecting with them physically, emotionally and intellectually.
Charisma is what propels people to like you.
Charisma is what motivates people to enjoy being around you, even when they possess limited knowledge of who you are.
Contrary, however, to popular refrain, one is not necessarily born with charisma.
The composite traits of charisma are, almost invariably, acquired over the course of a lifetime.
These are the seven traits of people with remarkable charisma:
1. They Carry Themselves With Uncommon Grace And Confidence.
They send out a silent message of confidence, self assurance and personal security. They look you right in the eye during dialogue. They do not slump their shoulders, rather squaring them assertively. They do not consider themselves well-dressed unless they are also wearing a smile. On the other hand, they readily paint their world with a smile at the slightest prompting.
2. They Are Compellingly Persuasive.
They find it infinitely easy to get people to subscribe to their viewpoints because they are consummately skilled in the art of distilling seemingly complex ideas into simple messages.
3. They Are Articulate Communicators.
They have an innate ability to speak well and communicate effectively, and so are able to articulate their ideas properly for easy comprehension.
4. They Are Excellent Listeners.
Although good listening skills are rarely taught and infrequently practiced, they remain a principal key to communicating well, and making others feel special. Charismatic people possess this skill (continue reading…)

As much as CIC expects students to learn and excel in their academic studies, it also encourages them to live a full and well-rounded student life within the college. This is available through the diverse services offered by CIC.
Co-operative Education Program
Co-op is not mandatory however; there are many advantages to participating in a co-op program. Practical experience will give you a competitive edge in the job market but more importantly, it will give you the chance to apply your classroom theories in the real world.Depending on the academic program, students may complete between two to three work terms. The work term traditionally begins in June and must be at least four weeks long.Employers traditionally begin posting job descriptions two to three months before the beginning of a work term. Job descriptions outlines duties and responsibilities, required education and experience levels, salary range, location and other details. Students apply to posted jobs by submitting their CVs and cover letters to the Development office. Employers receive the student's resumes and choose appropriate applicants to interview. Job interviews normally take place on the employer's campus about two weeks before the work term begins. After the interviews are completed, employers select a candidate and inform the Development office.
The Development Office supports a wide range of career-related programs and resources with an emphasis on excellence in learning from experience. We guide students through the career development process including the exploration of personal workplace preferences and strengths, the development of career competencies, and the construction of a career plan. We strive to engage the CIC student community in the career development and exploration process. We assist in the development of employment readiness skills, understanding of workplace realities, the ability to make informed career choices and the competencies needed to excel in the workplace. We do this by offering experiential learning opportunities, career resources and workplace educational programming.
Development Office objectives
- Aim at developing student's and graduate's professional skills and competencies.
- Deliver an integrated series of quality, career focused services which meet the quality of our students and graduates in the most effective way.
- Graduate exceptional alumni with an international degree coupled with a professional perception through taking advantage of strong corporate/campus partnerships to get hands-on experience in students and alumni future career.
- Students must invest in their own career development
- Learning from experience is a fundamental element of a broad-based education and contributes to the development of a successful career path
- It is important to teach students to manage a lifetime of career opportunities
- We must take a proactive approach to career leadership and learning centeredness
Key Success Indicators
- All or most graduates have the skills, knowledge, confidence and opportunity to embark on a fulfilling career path
- All or most students have the opportunity to strengthen their degree programs through some form of experiential learning supported by the Development Office.
- All students who participate in experiential learning are engaged in meaningful, active reflection of their experiences
- The Development Office is recognized by students, employers and faculty as the leading campus resource for career-related initiatives.
Development Workshops
Students who are planning to apply for the co-op (Summer Internship Program) are recommended to attend the Development Workshops. The Development Workshops prepare students for success in their co-op program. A sample of the student development program offered to the CIC students throughout the year includes: resume writing, skills assessment, cover letters, and interview preparation..etc.
Technical Workshops/Field Trips
In addition to the general skills based Development workshops , we also offer students technical workshops/Field trips relevant to their respective majors as part of the ongoing collaboration and fusion of academia and real life application at CIC.
Resume and cover letter Review
A good resume is critical to getting those first interviews. At any time throughout your years at CIC, a coordinator will be available to review your resume. It is recommended that you have your resume reviewed after each completed work term to prepare for the next placement period.
Job Opportunities
Each term CIC markets its student's availability to the business community. This marketing results in job postings. All students are welcomed and encouraged to apply to any and all jobs posted to the program. If you feel that you are unqualified for any positions posted, apply anyway and allow the employer to decide if you have the skill set they want.
Engineering Students Mandatory Training
All Engineering students in the Egyptian/Dual Program are obliged to complete 8 weeks training after finishing their second academic year according to the Ministry Rules otherwise, they will not be able to graduate. The Development Office help students to find the appropriate training opportunity.
"Finding You a Career is Our Main Objective"
Achieving our objectives requires a strong campus, community and corporate partnerships that are essential to our success. This is done through building a long-term relationships to gain mutual benefits for both campus students and alumni and corporate. Increasing corporate profile on-campus has proven advantages to many companies. Having a recognized profile on-campus allows companies to recruit and access qualified candidates in the most cost effective methods. Students are more likely to target companies that they recognize when applying for jobs than those they are less familiar with.
Corporate can utilize the following programs and services to increase your company profile on campus among students and alumni:
Co-operative Education Program (Summer Internships)
The Development Office functions as a liaison between students and employers to help to determine and facilitate employment opportunities. Co-op is a program that formally integrates a student's academic studies with work experience in co-operative employer organizations. Students alternate academic terms with paid, relevant work experience in a chosen field.
Soft Skills Workshops and training
The workshops prepare students for success in their co-op program by presenting modules on resume writing, skills assessment, cover letters, and interview preparation. Top level managers of your organization can consider this a chance to orient students about the organization's culture, the nature of jobs available for them and their hiring standards.
Field Trips and Sponsoring graduation projects
One benefit of field trips is that they allow students to escape the routine of the classroom and explore their own education through a new set of eyes. This means that they'll be able to better recall what they've learned. Students learn about the business's day-to-day operations, the different types of jobs available and the requirements for careers with the business.This gives corporate a chance to brand and introducing themselves as the employer of choice. It facilitates engagement activities as graduation projects tailored to sponsor needs & engagement activities with youth. It is also considered as a guaranteed access to a pool of qualified workforce. In addition, the business gains exposure with students who will be the future workforce.
Employment Fairs
The annual job fair is one of the main sources for finding full-time and part time jobs that employers wish to advertise specifically for CIC students and alumni. Attending Employment Fairs is an excellent way of gaining access to a highly relevant pool of interested students. It is usually organized and hosted on campus
Mentoring programs
Mentoring is no-cost way for a business to have an impact on the lives of students in its community and to raise awareness of the possibilities for employment in its industry. The interaction of student and mentor provides a valuable resource to students making career decisions. Mentors benefit by considering and clearly defining their own work and responsibilities, which can enhance on-the-job focus. It involves one-to-one training between a highly experienced professional (mentor) and a less experienced individual (mentee). The coaching, role modeling, advice, support, and encouragement that are part of the training program are sure to provide the mentee with an extraordinary learning experience, both on a personal and professional level, that will positively shape his/her future career. These facilitate building relations with students and facilitate hiring process for organizations.
Job Shadowing
Job shadowing allows businesses to bring students into the workplace for a one-day career exploration experience. During the day, a student spends time with a working adult to learn about the specific tasks of his or her occupation. It provides students with a valuable experience in the workplace where they can see what a typical work day is like. This type of experience allows students to better assess their level of interest in a particular career field. Employers also benefit from reaching out to potential future employees
We can help employers connect to our students and alumni to increase your corporate profile on campus through the following additional services:
Information Session/Group Interview:
Development office will work with you to schedule and plan an information session or group interview. To schedule an Information Session or to attain additional information, contact the office.
Interview Rooms:
Development office provides interview rooms to employers at no cost. Please note: Space is limited therefore we encourage companies to book early in a term. To schedule an Interview or to attain additional information, contact the office.
ponsor Clubs and Societies:
Support specific activities undertaken by appropriate clubs and societies or support sports scholarship initiatives.
Guest Lectures:
In consultation with appropriate faculty - deliver a guest lecturer in a relevant module – highlighting best practice, sharing expertise and to make a career-focused presentation to students while also providing a meaningful overview of their own career and employer. This provides an easy and effective way to increase students' awareness of the careers available in the region and the companies that offer those careers.

CIC adopts a large definition for mentees as all of its students who need guidance, advice or any kind of helping during their academic life. However, we have focused our attention on to major groups:
- Old cohorts whether under academic alert (very close to GPA 2.2) or probation (below 2.0)
- New cohorts every year, to introduce them to CIC regulations and rule, show them areas or tools to get help and listen to their feedback.
Mentors at CIC are carefully chosen from the professors and TA's body; those known to be patient, persistent and eloquent are given a group of mentees from their department of stud; to insure their awareness of students and their performance plus their ability of problem solving and easiness of contacting students, professors and may be parents.
A workshop for all mentors is given before the beginning of every term to make sure concepts are unified, listen to feedback from mentors already at work and brain storm ideas for better mentoring during the coming semester.
Mentoring Procedures
Students with low GPA are followed up regularly throughout the term on the following schedule:
- Advising period to make sure they get suitable courses for their level to help them increase their GPA
- The first 4 weeks of the term to inform students about their status listen to their problems, calculate needed GPA, offer guidance and put a plan for the term.
- Two Meetings, before & after the midterm, as well as before the final respectively to discuss the student's performance, closeness to goal, & offer advice or help if needed.
Mentoring Do's and Don'ts:
At CIC we believe that mentors are supposed to:
- Monitor student' performance
- Guide students to workshops or extra drilling needed and arrange with TA's
- Advise students to attend revisions or extra hours
- Arrange regular meetings and be available at all times when students come for irregular meetings or pop-up problems (all meetings are confidential to build on mutual confidence ant trust)
- Mentors are urged to try and surmount all difficulties with students but are allowed to call parents (through mentoring unit or SA) when they are unable to help students in any way, whether students never show up for regular meetings or continue low performance.
But we do not:
- Repeat exams or assignments
- Exempt students from drop procedures or attendance.
- Interfere with excuse to instructors
- To follow any type of spoon-feeding process for mentees
Mentoring Unit's Program Objectives:
- This program intends to help improve the CIC students Academic performance as well as the CIC graduates' chances in the market.
- To enforce a culture that cares about the Academic level as well as other aspects in life.
- The reason behind this Unit is that most of the students under this program need more help & attention rather than just focusing on their grades & attendance.
Mentoring Unit's Scope:
- Students under probation (limited to taking only 4 courses per Semester due to their GPA)
- Students recommended by the faculty due to; studying problems, lacking the minimum course requirements, etc..
- Freshmen who are not allowed to take more than one or two courses along with the non-credit course.
- Graduating students (to be ready for the market needs; skills, training, etc..)
- Students who are facing acidic difficulties & who fail in courses multiple times.
In addition to the two libraries; one in the Business Department as well as in the Engineering Department., students enjoy the e-Library service which allows them to have online access to books, electronic newspapers, e-journals, & CIC media collections. You can also login to your student portal to enjoy more online services.
Loan Periods & Borrowing Limits

Reunions and Gatherings
CIC alumni are encouraged to join us for the reunion and homecoming festivals that offer all graduates the opportunity to reunite with their former classmates and faculty as well as to get acquainted with the current students and new faculty and staff.
Mock Interview
Mock interview is an important way in which students can find out what happens in an interview situation. If the mock interview is with a real employer, the experience is especially valuable. For this reason we welcome approaches from employers interested in helping students develop interview skills.
Mock interviews aim to:
- Help Potential graduates and Alumni to consider the range of questions that they may have to face at interview.
- Help them understand why employers ask the questions they do, and the information they are seeking to elicit.
- Give them the opportunity to frame answers to questions and to think about specific examples
- Post-graduate Studies Advising: Scholarships are granted to the siblings of CIC degree holders in the amount of 10% of tuition fees. Graduates should contact the admission office for further details.
Iftar Ramadan
Aligned with the aim to secure strong ties amongst its graduates, CIC Alumni Office hosts an annual Iftar at the CIC premises in the celebration of the Holy month of Ramadan.
Employment Fairs and Job Search
The annual employment fair is one of the main sources for finding full-time and part time jobs that employers wish to advertise specifically for CIC students and alumni.

A Newport News man has been arrested in connection with a fatal pedestrian crash early Saturday morning, according to Hampton police.
Kevin Ajay Ellerbe, 32, was wanted in connection with the fatal crash and turned himself in to police Wednesday, police said. He has been charged with felony hit and run and is in custody at the Hampton City Jail.
The crash happened about 2 a.m. Saturday in the 400 block of Woodview Lane. According to police, the woman was in the parking lot when she was hit by a white Dodge Sedan, which drove away before police arrived. She was later identified as Saskia Elizabeth Reneau,...

Besides, since this invention is equipped with camera function, it can help the system to discover the terminal within the coverage area or the terminal that doesn't belong to this operator, which makes it easier to assist the corresponding system to carry out planning and optimizing, etc.
The details of this invention are as follows:
1.A way of beamforming in which light and wireless signal assist each other, and it contains:
Hardware part and software part. The former part is composed of baseband and radio frequency interface, gain control, beamforming antenna array and camera device; besides traditional gain control and beamforming function, the software part can process video and pictures taken by camera device to get information for wireless side to beamform, and the user signal information obtained from wireless side is conducive to optimizing and processing video and pictures taken by camera device. All above in this paragraph is as shown in figure 1.
2.Basic steps contain:
(a)Calibration: one is calibration of wireless coverage and shooting range, and the other is calibration of real 3D location in the image and direction of beams. Besides calibration in initialization, calibration should also be executed regularly or be triggered by some events in an automatic way.
(b)The system continuously monitors the camera device to acquire the accuracy of user location tracking, and that reflects the accuracy of beamforming which is based on the assistance of light. When the accuracy is reduced to some extent, the operating mode will be switched to a mode that beamforming parameters' estimation only depends on wireless signal.
When quality of images gets worse, converting frequency band can be considered. For example, infrared images are alternative at night.
(c)Analyzing images, tracking of potential users and mobile station, and calculating the antenna parameters of beamforming correspondingly.
(i)In switching in stage, the parameters calculated before is used for signal spatial filtering based on azimuth angle and elevation angle to improve performance.
(ii)In paging stage, the signal spatial filtering calculated in last stage is used to align beams to potential users' location instead of broadcasting to the whole cell or sector. In this way, when paging is failed, beam width is increased so that broadcast paging is carried out instead of beamforming.
(iii)In service transmission stage, uplink and downlink usually have specified control channels, and service channel can only be uplink or downlink. When the mobile station's location which the beamforming parameters correspond to and certain location presented in the image by camera device match, overhead signal will be decreased for estimating wireless channel space parameters, and velocity of mobile station can be judged more easily, optimizing wireless beam parameters.

Marine Camp 2011
Marine camp started in the early 90's. It's a 5-day camp where kids ages 12-15 learn about the ecosystem, marine life (fish, corals, etc), bats, birds, etc, and most importantly, they learn how to protect and conserve the environment.
Danjugan is a privately-owned island. It is not open to the public and is only visited by researchers, volunteers, close relatives and friends of the owner, and of course, the campers.
I was fortunate enough to be an adult leader in the camp last April. It was such a great experience! I just wish camps like this continue to grow. There is really a great feeling of fulfillment once you know you are part of something that is for the good of our environment. :)
