| Minding Your Global Manners
To say that today's business environment is becoming increasingly more global is to state the obvious. Meetings, phone calls and conferences are held all over the world and attendees can come from any point on the globe. On any given business day you can find yourself dealing face-to-face, over the phone, by e-mail and, on rare occasions, by postal letter with people whose customs and cultures differ your own. You may never have to leave home to interact on an international level. While the old adage "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" still holds true, business clients and colleagues who are visiting this country should be treated with sensitivity and with an awareness of their unique culture. Not to do your homework and put your best international foot forward can cost you relationships and future business.

Revolution Now Part 6: Channel Surfing
The first page of my Wii Menu contains eight elementary channels that no Wii should be without: Disk Channel (if that even qualifies as a real channel), Mii Channel, Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel, Forecast Channel, News Channel, Internet Channel (Beta), and Everybody Votes Channel. Twelve spaces minus the eight that I’m using leaves four completely empty channels. Because of my slight streak of obsessive compulsiveness, I’ve grouped my nine Virtual Console downloads together on the second page. I’ve read many articles from many other gaming sites, both big and small, about what kinds of channels they would like to see pop up. To be honest, I haven’t been greatly inspired by my fellow writer’s ideas on how to fill up the rest of my channels, so I’ve thought long and hard about what I would produce if I were given unlimited sway in Kyoto.
