First Impressions

First Impressions -

Greetings from Boston!  I arrived here today for the Women Presidents Organisation (WPO) annual conference which starts on Thursday.  As a facilitator for WPO we have a get together and some training prior to the conference, so its great to catch up with old friends and to make some new acquaintances too.

I have just returned from the Families in Global Transition conference in Houston (my 4th) and met up with old friends and new. As Barbara Schaetti, of Transition Dynamics says, ‘it is a reunion of strangers’. Don’t you feel like that sometimes?

Jo Parfitt in Die Welt -

I was recently interviewed by Die Welt. I can no longer remember what they asked me but as I glance through the article I see I recognise many names. Andrea Martins of ExpatWoman is there for one, and I seem to get the lion’s share of the column inches. If you read German do take a look online here.

MMO Causing Deaths in Russia

A guild dispute ended in a real world meet and a brutal beating, the victim dying on the way to the hospital. This is the third MMO-related murder in just under a year that has taken place in Russia. Lineage II seems to be lethal, if your online nemeses are weak of mind with powerful fists in real life.

33-year-old Albert used to spend hours in front of his computer. On the web he had his own clan and a dozen of warriors. Just days before the New Year in a virtual battle his clan killed a member of the hostile Coo-clocks.

Medical Required For UK Driving Licences

One of the most important pieces of advice I give in my book is that you should always seek professional advice rather than simply doing research on the internet of taking information from a guide book.

Listening to Brian Deller on REM.fm bought this home yet again as he mentioned the case of an expat involved in an accident who while legally using a UK licence had not had the medical that is required by law in Spain.  Because of this, he says her licence was deemed invalid, she lost the case and her insurance would not pay.

‘World of Warcraft’ hits new high in China

The figure marks a 25% increase in peak concurrent users since the last time an official count was revealed — Oct. 4, 2007 — when 800,000 were said to be simultaneously, according to spokeswoman for The9.

The9 and Soft-World to carry Wrath in Asia

Blizzard announced today that the forthcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion will be published by The9 in mainland China, and Soft-World in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. The9 and Soft-World have brought both the original WoW and Burning Crusade to their respective regions, so it’s not surprising that they’ll be handling Wrath as well. Release dates, of course, are still TBA, there as here.
