Through careful studies conducted in the US, UK and East Asia, researchers came to the surprising conclusion that in many aspects, people from the "East" and people from the "West" think in diametrically opposite ways. Scientists determined that cultural differences trump theories that the brain's thought processes operate in much the same manner for all people. As cultures and economies become more interwoven, it is increasingly important to understand these differences and how they might affect communication and negotiations in both social and business settings.
Qos asks Raven to help him win the heart of Igis, a young woman who is too vain to love anyone but herself. Raven asks Qos to collect the snow from Igis?s footprints, a tuft of her hair, and some of her old clothes to build a snowman.

But Qos is shocked when Igis falls in love with Moowis instead!

The only solace is the creation of an early warning system that has already proven its worth.
Katrina is the most destructive hurricane in history, made worse by inadequate infrastructure, political squabbling and mismanaged emergency response.
