I've been a frequent user and a big fan of Glympse ever since I first reviewed it. If you're on a trip, meeting someone for lunch and so on, you can share your location in real time, along with your ETA and your route. It's a clever marriage of iOS and GPS. The Glympse app is free, and has had many worthwhile updates and improvements.
Today, Glympse announced a partnership with Mercedes-Benz to provide a first-of-its-kind offering that gives users realtime location sharing right in their cars. Drivers will be able to use the in-dash Mercedes DriveStyle to select a recipient, set a timer, and "send a Glympse" to anyone they choose. The recipient receives a text or email link with the driver's real-time location on an interactive map. When the timer expires, the location sharing will automatically stop. Because Glympse is a universal sharing solution, the recipient doesn't require any special software or device. A web browser will do.
Having the feature built into a car has the obvious advantage of saving on battery on your iPhone. With the GPS chip sending your data on a second-by-second interval, I always use Glympse with my iPhone plugged into a charger.
BMW has something similar, but it is much more primitive. You send an email to someone from the car and it gives them your location. No mobile phone required. But the location is not updated in real time, and you have to keep sending it. Nothing I want to fool with while driving.
Glympse stores an address book, and even has templates for frequent destinations. It is easy to set up, and you do that before you go on the road. Mercedes will get similar capabilities as part of the car telematics. No mobile phone needed.
This feature will appear in new Mercedes A-Class cars, and I expect it will expand through the model line. I'm sure discussions with other auto makers are in progress. Of course you don't need a Mercedes to use Glympse. Just grab it from the iOS app store and you are literally on your way.

In early September, I wrote about enjoying my moment of being a new mom transitioning to new job. I'm happy to report that this is still true one month later, but I've been rubbing more-and-more sand out of my eyes since.
Fun Days and Restless Nights
My daughter seems to love her day care. When I drop her off in the morning, she stares intently at the children with wide-eyed fascination. I can tell that she can't wait to get mobile and start playing with them. At the moment, the best she can do is reach out her little hand and rest it on the arm of her 9-month-old baby friend who happens to crawl by.
While it's great to see her get excited by her new environment every day, it's translating into sleepless nights for us. Lucy went from sleeping a glorious 8-10 hours a night before day care, to waking up every three hours now, like she did when she was first born. She takes three naps during the day, and I try to put her to bed early in the evening — which is what most baby books recommend. But she is either so excited for the next day or so hungry from growth spurts and burning off thousands of calories, that she can't sleep. She's always in a good mood in the morning, so I know she's getting enough rest; but it would be nice if she got it sequentially during the night hours.
I've always been a light sleeper, but this level of fatigue is having new, strange effects on me. Mainly, I have a ridiculous twitch in my lower left eyelid that will not go away. My left ear has also been plugged up for a week now. Like many new parents, I sometimes have trouble finding words to describe things while talking (writing is usually fine). Needless to say, this can be kind of embarrassing given my line of work.
When I ask other parents for advice, they just shrug their shoulders. Lack of sleep is just a fact. But I'm nervous that Lucy has gone from being an A+ sleeper — the envy of all parents — to a problem one. What bad sleep habits is she forming now? When will she sleep through the night again? How long can my eye twitch like this?!

October 2015
With the award of a contract for the challenging façade works on the SR1.73-billion ($461 million) Lamar Towers, work on the iconic towers on Saudi Arabia's Jeddah Corniche has entered a crucial phase in its construction.
The SR200-million ($53 million) contract for the building envelope works will be undertaken by the UAE-based Technical Glass and Aluminium Company, a leading provider of aluminium, glass, steel, GRC (glass reinforced concrete), marble, granite, and precast solutions for building external envelopes. Its scope of work includes the design and supply of glass and aluminium and all the façade works including the unitised curtain-walls, precast, stone panel and the cladding panel.
The gold-coloured façade of the prestigious towers will reflect the essence of its name Lamar – literally translated from Arabic is 'molten gold' – which was inspired by the way the setting sun will reflect off the glass walls.
The project is being jointly developed by Saudi Arabia's Lamar Investment and Real Estate Development Company and Drake and Scull International (DSI), a regional leader in integrated design, engineering and construction. Drake and Scull Construction (DSC) KSA is undertaking the general contracting responsibilities on the project.
Work on the façade is scheduled to start shortly with the landscaping works set to begin in early 2016.
The Lamar Towers occupies a 34,800-sq-m plot offering a total built-up area of 409,770 sq m on Jeddah Corniche. It comprises two high-rise towers sitting atop a curved podium. Tower T1 and T2 measure 322 m and 293 m in height and comprise 57 and 49 storeys respectively. Upon completion, the mixed-use commercial and residential towers will offer a luxury lifestyle, offering stylish housing and a gateway for modern and contemporary businesses in the kingdom for international companies.
The landmark project has suffered a number of setbacks since it was launched way back in 2008. Work on Lamar Towers halted in 2009 after which the project was restructured and refinanced in 2013 attracting elite regional and international investors while a new development company was assigned to manage the project with DSC appointed as the main contractor.
DSC has completed the concrete works on nearly 65 floors on both towers combined, as well construction works reaching five levels of shared parking, and 12 levels of the shared podium structure, said a Saudi Gazette report.
Commenting on the façade award, Bakr R Nazer, the CEO and managing director of Lamar Investment and Real Estate Development Company, says: "We are confident Technical Glass and Aluminium possesses the necessary skills, knowledge and manpower to deliver the outstanding quality of work and finish that a project of this complex scale demands.
"Their projects portfolio and well-earned industry reputation will complement Drake and Scull Construction KSA's acclaimed project management mechanisms and will help the project to evolve to the completion phase on schedule."
Hisham Hassan, managing partner of Technical Glass and Aluminium Company, says: "The SR200-million ($53 million) Lamar Towers contract is a significant project win for the company and a major highlight in our history."
To date, DSC has used more than 24,000 cu m of concrete and 6,500 tonnes of steel on the project.
"We are extremely pleased to have reached a significant milestone in the progress of the Lamar Towers," says Nazer, adding "construction is progressing and the project is rapidly realising the architectural vision that inspired and motivated us to embark on this iconic venture."
On the award of the façade works, Nazer says reaching the stage of awarding the curtain-wall construction is a tremendous achievement for both companies and marks the transition into the next phase of the march towards the completion of construction activities on the two towers.
Khaldoun Tabari, CEO and vice-chairman of DSI, says the creation of the curtain-wall is a major stage in the construction lifecycle of any project, and that Technical Glass and Aluminium Company has proven its credentials in the regional market through its stellar work on some notable projects and enjoy a reputation of delivering quality, professional external structure solutions.
He further says: "With Drake and Scull Construction KSA and Technical Glass and Aluminium Company combining their respective strengths and leveraging their considerable skills and experience, we remain confident that we will achieve the lofty ambitions and standards that are expected of a project of this magnitude and the Lamar Towers will prove to be a worthy addition to the dynamic and prosperous city of Jeddah."

The wait is finally over, as Grammy-nominated hitmaker Kelsea Ballerini releases her latest album Unapologetically. The project serves as the CMA "Female Vocalist of the Year" nominee's sophomore release, and the follow-up to the Gold-certified debut, The First Time, which also produced multiple Platinum-certified hits. After just 9 minutes, the official release the album hit No.1 on the iTunes Country Albums chart and is No. 3 on the All Genre Albums chart.
"Legends," the lead single from Unapologetically, has continued to turn heads while currently racing up the charts. The track immediately charged its way into the Top 15 on the iTunes All-Genre Songs chart within 12 hours of its release. Additionally, her empowering anthem "Miss Me More" stormed its way to No. 1 on the iTunes Country Songs chart upon its release two weeks ago. Ballerini shared one of her favorite fan-made videos showing off their fierce sides lip-syncing the song on her Instagram.
Ballerini is also returning to her roots, with a very special show this past weekend in her hometown of Knoxville, Tenn. The singer/songwriter performed a full set at her high school, Central High, this past weekend. The show was highly centered around the encore song, "High School," which is featured on Unapologetically. The reflective ballad was penned solely by Ballerini, inspired by her experiences at Central High. The emotional night concluded with the "Peter Pan" singer donating $20,000 to the school for future music programs. In an Instagram post, she called this, "the most fulfilling thing I've ever been able to do."
The talented songstress kicked off her album release week by announcing "The Unapologetically Tour," which will begin next year. The must-see spectacle kicks off Feb. 8 in Birmingham, Ala. where fans will be treated to a unique set list packed with some of the country singer's biggest hits like the upbeat "Love Me Like You Mean It" and the heartbreaking "Peter Pan" along with new songs from Unapologetically.
The album buzz has reached new heights, with recent features in Forbes, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, Paste Magazine and many more. Ballerini has also kicked her promotional efforts into high gear, making recent appearances on The Ellen Degeneres Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon while also gracing the cover of Parade Magazine in October. The country starlet will appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight at 11:35pm ET (check local listings) and on the Nov. 8 edition of Good Morning America. CBS also recently announced that Ballerini will be the headliner for The Thanksgiving Day Parade, airing Nov. 23.

The martyrdom of our Christian brothers and sisters at the hands of Islamic terrorists has come to the forefront this month (November 2010) in Iraq. Christians have been killed in raids and bombings in an offensive by Islamic terrorists to drive Christians from Iraq.
Fifty-two hostages and police were killed when an attempt by Iraqi security forces to free more than 100 Catholics held in a Baghdad church by al Qaeda-linked gunmen turned into a bloodbath. (November 1, 2010)
Iraqi Human Rights Minister Wijdan Michael, a Christian, said at the scene of the Baghdad attack: "What happened was more than a catastrophic and tragic event. In my opinion, it is an attempt to force Iraqi Christians to leave Iraq and to empty Iraq of Christians."
There is "a deliberate will to destroy the Christian community," said France's UN ambassador Gerard Araud, Wednesday in New York. (November 10, 2010)
In the west there has been a consistently escalating war against Christianity in the political, social, cultural, educational and entertainment arenas for several generations. In the east where Christians are a minority among the population the war against Christianity has frequently added violence to the list. Imprisonment, torture, rape and murder are unfortunate realities for Christians in Muslim countries as well as other Asian nations. Many of our brothers and sisters pay a high and heavy price for the faith that we are allowed to practice so freely in the west.
It is in moments like this, when these crimes are publicized (such as in Iraq) that Christians have an opportunity to stand with our persecuted brethren and to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Christians have been persecuted and martyred since the book of Acts. We have faced many attacks and enemies; yet the message of the gospel continues to be preached and men and women continue to come to faith in Jesus Christ.
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)
When we see crimes committed against our brothers and sisters we can easily become outraged and want to react in the flesh; moving back to the Old Testament's "an eye for an eye." This is not the New Testament reaction. This reaction is not turning the other cheek or walking the extra mile (Matthew 5:39-41). This reaction is not praying for those who despitefully use you and persecute you (Matthew 5:44). Our enemies are not the people but the spirit behind the people. The crimes and sins of those who persecute us and our fellow believers will receive justice (if not in this world then in the next). Our command is to love, forgive and preach the gospel.
The goal of these attacks (or any like them) is to drive Christianity and the preaching of the gospel from a place where the enemy has a strong foothold. The enemy does not want Christians living in peace in Islamic nations. The enemy does not want the gospel being freely shared in the Middle-East, China, India, Africa, Europe, the U.S. or any place else. He will use whatever method of resistance available to him to either discourage believers or eliminate them.
These terrorists feel 100% justified in their activities and behavior because they believe that their god, Allah, has commanded them to do that which they are doing. Jesus spoke of such a time.
I have told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith. For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God. This is because they have never known the Father or me. (John 16:1-3)
The Christian reaction to this event should be:
- Prayer
- Prayer for those being persecuted
- Prayer for the persecutors
- Prayer for the salvation of the nation of Iraq
- Giving
- Giving to the families who have been displaced and driven from their homes
- Giving to missions and ministries who are preaching the gospel in Iraq
- Preaching
- We should be sharing the gospel with every lost person we can find
- We should be drawing attention to our fellow believers' persecution in our churches, work places, schools and in our governments.
Although we are not wrestling against people, we are wrestling. We are wrestling with the evil spirits who would keep the gospel from reaching the people Jesus Christ died to save. We are wrestling with the ideologies and religions that deny the truth of the gospel and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We are wrestling with poverty, ignorance and injustice.
The reaction of the church to persecution in an area of the world should never be retreat. Our reaction should be to move forward. The devil does not want the gospel in Iraq but Jesus does. Islam is the greatest opposition to the gospel in the earth today. Jesus died to save every person, including Muslims. When we are persecuted we should determine to cause damage to the kingdom of darkness by fulfilling the Great Commission. The enemies of the gospel cannot stop the love and power Jesus Christ.
As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God: "O Sovereign Lord, Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— you spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, your servant, saying,
'Why were the nations so angry? Why did they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.'
"In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, your holy servant, whom you anointed. But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus."
After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness. (Acts 4:23-31)
Many Christian families are leaving Iraq because they do not want to be killed. They are fleeing to nations like Syria and Jordan where there are larger Christian populations. I pray that the hand of God's protection would lead them out of danger and into a place of safety. I pray that those who are determined to stay are filled fresh with the Holy Spirit and boldness – that they may provide powerful witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
I want to keep this message short. My purpose in writing is threefold:
- Draw attention to the situation and let our fellow believers know that we are praying and standing with them.
- Encourage you to be a force that strikes back against the kingdom of darkness in prayer, giving and preaching.
- Encourage you to pray for Iraq, the Christians who are being persecuted and the salvation of the nation.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)

"This letter is to You. The You that's had a rough week. The You that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The You that feels invisible. The You that doesn't know how much longer you can hold on. The you that has lost faith. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you. You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it."
Jodi Ann Bickley
This week was a tough one. I felt anxious, stressed, emotional and I suffered from insomnia and a headache. I always react like this on bad news, but usually shortly after I pull myself together and start looking for solutions and positive things.
I reminded myself that I lived through worse times in my life, I survived the war and there are no many things out there that can compare to that. I lived and worked on a cruise ship which is quite different from life on land. I left my family and friends and came to another country to look for a job, I slept on my friend's sofas, I was without money, job and family. And still, there was always light at the end of the tunnel, so this shall pass to.
Reflecting on the previous 3 months in lock down, below I have listed 5 things that Covid19 taught me.
Between apartment and house, choose house
After everything that was happening since March, buying an apartment is not an option anymore. As there is a very high chance that this kind of situations will happen sometime again in the future, living in a big city and a small apartment is not something that I want. Hopefully, in the next 5 years, I will be able to move to the countryside, have my own garden and be self-sustainable.
Every job has its end
Each time you take a job, be aware that it will have its end. Don't restrict yourself that you only need to work in one industry field or build one career. In today's world, you will probably have to change a few jobs if you planning to survive. This week we were reminded about this as my husband has been made redundant. He worked for the airline and we know that this industry was one of the most affected due to imposed travel restrictions. We were aware that this could happen but didn't expect it this fast. Let's see what the Universe has in the pocket for us next?!
The world will not be the same again
I don't want this to sound like the end of the world prediction, or conspiracy theory but the fact is the world will not be the same as it was. I don't know yet if it will get worst or better, but I am sure that we are entering a new decade that will be something we haven't seen before. We need to adopt new skills, new approaches and innovation. One of the best things about this is that Mother Nature had some self-recovery time and there is a positive environmental impact. The ozone and ocean are healthier, the people reconnected with nature, the animals are taking over the land and the pollution is reduced. Finally, the skies are blue above China, the water is clean in Venice and you can see the Himalayas from Kathmandu. I only hope that it won't get worst later when things pick up.
Material things are not important
Your car doesn't mean anything if you don't have where to drive it. Your fancy clothes don't mean anything if you don't have where to wear it. Your newest gym equipment and membership are useless if the gyms are not reachable. Your newest watch, iPhone, makeup, perfume, you name it. Nobody cares what you have or how you look if they can't see you.
Take care of your health
We are all aware that our health is irreplaceable. Our immune system will be our best protection we will have against all diseases, viruses and bacterias that could harm us. You all know what you need to do: sleep well, exercise daily, meditate, control your mind, drink 2l of water, don't smoke, don't drink too much, socialize with good and inspiring people, don't use too many harsh chemicals, go green and use natural products as much as you can. Try to spend time outdoors in nature and away from polluted cities.
