Kuwait blogger Sailor suggests a novel method to keep your next of kin informed in the case of an emergency.
“As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a contact person or person who should be contacted during emergency as ICE” (meaning In Case of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call,” explains the blogger.
“The plural of “anecdote” is not “data.”" remarks Gregg Carlstrom at The Majlis, in response to FP's article on temporary marriage in Lebanon.
