<p>Spears fans, your queen has returned, as the Pop Princess has released new music for the first time in four years.</p>
<p>While Lady Gaga was releasing her newest album &ldquo;Chromatica&rdquo; over the weekend, the original pop queen Britney Spears decided to crash the party and release a song of her own, which many fans have been awaiting for some time.</p>
<p>Titled &ldquo;Mood Ring (by Demand)&rdquo; Spears released the song and took to social media to promote it asking her fans to turn it up loud, adding a repurposed picture of her in a bikini in the desert with a chain.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Repurposed this since we didn't use it: You folks wanted a new album cover _.. ta da there you go _________________________!!!! What was requested next is out now _______ _.. I hope you turn <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MoodRing?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MoodRing</a> up sooooooo loud ___ !!!! <a href="https://t.co/xmwWR79k52">https://t.co/xmwWR79k52</a> <a href="https://t.co/XIY4SrgIbo">pic.twitter.com/XIY4SrgIbo</a></p>

<p>The song was originally released back in 2016 as a Japan-exclusive from her album &ldquo;Glory&rdquo;, so the rest of the world didn&rsquo;t get to listen to the new track but after a lot of requests from fans who were able to get the album to the top spot on iTunes&rsquo; pop chart, Spears caved and released the song everywhere, and since it was a fans request Spears added the &ldquo;(by Demand)&rdquo; part.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check out the song below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0U8N_7ZNJ4w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The singer hasn&rsquo;t released anything new since &ldquo;Glory&rdquo; back in 2016 primarily because of her residency in Las Vegas which she finished in 2017, does this mean we&rsquo;re getting new music our way? We don&rsquo;t know but we hope so.&nbsp;</p>

This Week's Hottest Tracks On NileFM's "Hit 30 Egypt"

<p>Singers Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber&rsquo;s latest duet &ldquo;Stuck With You&rdquo; debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, their first-ever musical work together.</p>
<p>The song was originally released back on May 8, but just debuted on the Billboard chart now. With a great message behind it, the sales for the song went up really fast, which is very understandable considering that most of the proceeds would go to covid-19 fighting charities that would help medical workers.</p>
<p>"We just wanted to make something fun that also helps and makes people feel, I think, less alone, or be hopefully somewhat uplifting, I think it's also a really, literally, isolating time for people mentally. So, we wanted to put music out, because music is the thing that makes people feel good. It's the thing that speaks most to people's spirits and we just wanted to lift them," Grande told Apple Music.</p>
<p>The song featured the two artists singing from home, sharing how they love who they&rsquo;re stuck with during quarantine, the video also included people and fans from all over the world, as well as some celebrity cameos like Chance The Rapper and Jaden Smith.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check out the music video below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pE49WK-oNjU" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>[article id=5617]Since the song&rsquo;s release, it brought in over 41 million views in just a few days, with many showing their love and support to both artists and everyone in the medical profession who are fighting covid-19 on the front lines.</p>
<p>Both artists took to their social media to thank everyone who made the song get to the top of the chart, with Grande writing a long post on her Instagram account thanking her and Bieber&rsquo;s fans, the people for their support to the song, and more importantly the cause, she also pointed out that some people have stated that she was just doing it for the money and sales and were skeptical of her motivations..</p>
<p>"Thank u to everybody who supported this song, this cause and made this happen. we love uuuuu so much,.There&rsquo;s so much to celebrate today. However, i would like to say a few things. anyone who knows me or has followed me for a while knows that numbers aren&rsquo;t the driving force in anything i do. i&rsquo;m grateful to sing. grateful to have people who want to listen. grateful to even be here at all. i didn&rsquo;t have a number one for the first five years of my career and it didn&rsquo;t upset me at all because from the bottom of my heart, music is everything to me. my fans are everything to me. i promise i couldn&rsquo;t ask for another f--king thing,&rdquo; wrote Grande.[article id=5652]&ldquo;So with this celebration today, i would like to address a few things which i don&rsquo;t usually do (i don&rsquo;t give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far)...my fans bought the song. JUSTIN&rsquo;S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). they are ride or die motherf--kers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life. not just when they fight for us to win (even when i ask them not to as i did this week) but because they&rsquo;re some of the greatest people i know. sales count for more than streams. u cannot discredit this as hard as u try,&rdquo; she continued.</p>
<p>&ldquo;To anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason.....), i ask u to take a moment to humble yourself. be grateful you&rsquo;re even here. that people want to listen to u at all. it&rsquo;s a blessed position to be in. i&rsquo;ve had a lot of &ldquo;almost number ones&rdquo; in my career and i never said a goddamn thing because I FEEL GRATEFUL TO EVEN BE HERE. TO WANT TO BE HEARD AT ALL .... and you should feel that way too. congratulations to all my talented a-- peers in the top ten this week. even number 3. and thank u to @billboard for this honor. and thank u to everybody who helped us raise a lot of money for a very important cause this week. love u all a lot." she concluded.</p>

<p>Bieber commented stating that he was honored to work with Grande and that if anyone had any issues with the song, they needed to refer to them both and not just her because they worked on the song together.</p>
<p>"This is my song with Ariana Grande and I'm honored to work with her to help raise money for a good cause. If you gonna say her name make sure you say mine because it's our song," wrote Bieber.</p>

Justin Bieber & Ariana Grande's duet Stuck With You makes it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart

Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber’s Latest Duet “Stuck With You” Takes The Top Spot On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart

<p>With everybody practicing social distancing due to the spread of the coronavirus, musicians are looking for new ways to shoot their music videos, and the Jonas Brothers aren&rsquo;t any different, so they found a creative way to make it happen for their latest song &ldquo;X&rdquo; featuring Colombian singer Karol G.</p>
<p>The three brothers and featured singer all appear wearing shades of red or a color complimenting it in front of a white background as they each sing and dance inside the screen of a phone. Each person occupies one phone screen and when all the phones are put next to each other, it looks like the group is together, which is a great way to practice social distancing but also be together for the song</p>
<p>Karol G&rsquo;s phone comes in in the second half of the video as the phones start to shuffle using stop-motion animation to make them move. The video itself is slick and creative using the resources they have to dish out a very likable work, more can be said about the song itself, it&rsquo;s fast, energetic, flirtatious and can easily get stuck in your head.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check it out below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9hGdmEwBwbg" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The song has been received positively gaining over half a million views in just 13 hours, and we absolutely love it, as we can&rsquo;t help but dance to its awesome beats, and memorable hook. The song was originally featured as the end credits of their &ldquo;Happiness Continues&rdquo; Amazon concert documentary which looked back at the band&rsquo;s reunion, and return.</p>
<p>Many have been waiting on the brothers to release a full-on album, as they&rsquo;ve been releasing hit singles so far, including &ldquo;What A Man Gotta Do?&rdquo; which featured the brothers and their wives.</p>

<p>Of all the wacky things that Lady Gaga has done over the course of her career, getting a priceless Tiffany diamond taken off her after the 2020 Oscars ceremony certainly raised the bar.</p>
<p>The superstar sported an invaluable 128-carat yellow diamond to the famed awards ceremony. The last time that particular diamond was worn was back in 1961 by none other than classic Hollywood icon and fellow Oscar winner Audrey Hepburn during a press tour for her hit film &ldquo;Breakfast At Tiffany&rsquo;s&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Gaga was a stunner with the diamond around her neck for sure, but when she left the ceremony to an afterparty with it still around her neck, Tiffany security did not what to think and had to stop her car in mid-traffic to take the diamond back from Gaga.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/t8ep-bRmI2g" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Gaga recounted the debacle during her interview on the Graham Norton Show saying, &rdquo;I didn't know what was going to happen that night - I was just so happy to be there. My sister and I were barrelling through champagne backstage and when we left, I didn't tell anyone, and I still had the diamond on. Everyone freaked out that I was still wearing it. When I went to Madonna's house, security guards were side-eyeing me and eventually, when we were heading to Taco Bell, my car was pulled over and Tiffany's security politely removed it from my neck!''</p>

Her latest LP &ldquo;Chromatica&rdquo; was released on May 29th and her fans have been rejoicing at the chance to have some new music for Mother Monster, especially since people have been quarantining amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, so they are looking for the best entertainment to make their isolation more bearable.</p>

What is odd is being in the middle of a global pandemic! It is the way it is, and we don't always get to have things go the way that we see them in life. I've always had instilled in me that life can, and will, get very hard, so it's very important to roll with the punches and deal with it,' she told Graham Norton during her interview which was conducted remotely through videoconferencing.</p>

<p>Lebanese singer Tania Saleh is coming under fire for a recent picture she posted on her social media platforms that depicts her face superimposed on an image of an African woman with a frizzy afro (a typically African hairstyle subject to much appropriation), leading many to accuse her of tone-deaf cultural appropriation.</p>
<p>The singer&rsquo;s intent was to stand in solidarity with the racial equality riots going on in the US right now, but she chose to express that sentiment in a way that many of her spectators took as offensive, considering the photo&rsquo;s caption expressed that she wishes she was black.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But while the message was obviously intended as outspoken support for racial equality, it highlighted some of the more subtle issues that black people face in the world today, namely cultural appropriation and fetishism.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fphoto%2F%3Ffbid%3D10157317415806439%26set%3Da.356540076438&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=667&amp;appId" width="552" height="667" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Her caption read, &ldquo;I wish I was black, today more than ever... Sending my love and full support to the people who demand equality and justice for all races anywhere in the world.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>It didn&rsquo;t take long for her followers on social media to denounce her actions with a wave of vehement criticism.</p>
<p>Comments on her post ranged from outward attacks on how she chose to express her sentiments, to people understanding that she is well-intentioned but that she made a mistake in how she chose to phrase her support for black people worldwide. Then there were comments defending Saleh on the basis that what she was saying was beautiful at its core, it's just that people are overly sensitive and trigger-happy.</p>
<p>Saleh, however, refused to see that what she had done was in any way offensive and instead doubled down on her position, highlighting the fact that she has no bad intentions towards black people or their right to equality. She made a second post to address the responses she was getting on her initial photo, and she was pretty defensive, even going as far as to say &ldquo;I forgive you for all the hate I received today&rdquo; which only made her followers ever angrier. After people had outwardly denounced the fact that she wore black face in the first photo, Saleh clarified that she didn&rsquo;t wear black make-up but that she photoshopped her face onto an image of an African woman that she found on Pinterest.&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ftaniasaleh%2Fposts%2F10157317870041439&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=323&amp;appId" width="552" height="323" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>&ldquo;I did not mean to mock the black people in any way. All my idols in music and dance are black, all the athletes I respect are black, even Bilal the first Muezzin in Islam was black. I love their culture and respect their art and all I know is that I am different and I would have loved to be one of them, it is as simple as that. My crime is that I put my true feelings in words and an image. I forgive you for all the hate I received today because you made me block the unnecessary evil on this page... And by the way, all the human race comes from Africa after all! We are all originally black,&rdquo; read her second post.</p>
<p>Many of the comments on both her posts were phrased in a kind way, aiming to guide Saleh to see how her actions may have come off as offensive, but the fact that she didn&rsquo;t remove the first post and ended up doubling down on her position made people angrier with her, resulting in more criticisms against her to roll in.</p>
<p>There is something to be said for both sides of the argument regarding Saleh&rsquo;s posts, because it is clear that she did not mean to offend anyone herself, and that her words were indeed coming from a good place. But her critics also have a point in that her intentions aside, these kinds of posts are problematic and only serve to perpetuate negative stereotypes of black people and the way they are treated in today&rsquo;s world.</p>

After an unfortunate Facebook post, Lebanese alt queen Tania Saleh is facing massive backlash over cultural appropriation.

Lebanese Singer Tania Saleh Wishes She Was Black & The Internet Is Not Having It

<p>The protests in Los Angeles and the rest of the US are escalating quickly, and with the rising number of people joining in the demonstrations, some celebrities have decided to walk among them to show their support to the cause, and the fight against racism.</p>
<p>We got some of the celebrities who have decided to join in, some of them just demonstrated peacefully, others were attacked either by rubber bullets like singer Halsey, or by batons like actor John Cusack, but they all stood together for one thing: social and racial justice.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Halsey</strong></span></p>
<p>Like the rest of the protesters on the streets, singer Halsey found herself under literal fire as she shared on social media that she was hit twice by rubber bullets and was gassed for hours.</p>
<p>"We were peaceful hands up not moving not breaching the line. they opened fire of rubber bullets and tear gas multiple times on us. citizens who were not provoking them, most of us were simply begging them to have empathy. to reconsider. to consider humanity and our nation&rsquo;s history and future,&rdquo; wrote the singer.</p>
<p>&ldquo;They opened fire multiple times. I was hit twice. Once by pellets and once by shrapnel. We were gassed repeatedly for hours," she captioned black and white photos of police officers at the demonstrations.</p>

<p>Cusack had a different experience as he was filming the protests in Chicago where he was allegedly attacked by police officers using their batons and hit his bike, he shared a video which doesn&rsquo;t show much, but the voices of a lot of angry police officers can be clearly heard ordering him to get out of there.</p>

John Cusack Attacked & Halsey Shot With Rubber Bullets During Ongoing Social Justice Protests

But nothing could have prepared us for what actor Josh Gad decided to do. He decided to host the Zoom group video call to rule them all!</p>
<p>As part of his &ldquo;Reunited Apart&rdquo; series on YouTube, the actor was able to bring in most of the cast of the legendary trilogy &ldquo;Lord of the Rings&rdquo; including actors Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen, John Rhys-Davies, Sean Bean, Liv Tyler, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, Karl Urban, Sir Ian McKellen, and director Peter Jackson himself in one huge Zoom call.</p>
<p>Titled &ldquo;One Zoom To Rule Them All&rdquo; the cast discussed everything about the films, how the process started, from trying to convince the studio to do this master undertaking, to what it felt like coming on set for the first time, even revealing that Mortensen&rsquo;s first scene was the action sequence of his character Aragorn against the Wraiths.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Sk47qO8rW4Y?start=191" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> Serkis talked about how he was offered to go and play Sm&eacute;agol on the film and a colleague of his tried to convince him not to do it since it would mostly be CGI and he would not actually appear on screen.</p>
<p>The cast also re-enacted some of the scenes for good fun, check out the full video below:</p>

“Lord Of The Rings” Cast Reunite In One Huge Zoom Call

<p>Netflix like many other streaming services have a lot of content already, and that is only going to increase with time, but we have decided to look at some of the new originals heading our way in the near future that we&rsquo;re really excited about. The release dates for the shows haven&rsquo;t been released yet, but we can&rsquo;t wait to get our hands on them.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ratched</strong></span></p>
<p>If you ever saw the Jack Nicholson classic &ldquo;One Flew Over the Cuckoo&rsquo;s Nest&rdquo; then you might have an inkling about what this show is going to be about, as it looks at the titular character Nurse Ratched and the events that lead up to her becoming this scary and villainous figure.</p>
<p>The show is set to have Sarah Paulson star in the leading role, along with Sharon Stone, Cynthia Nixon, Jon Jon Briones, Charlie Carver, Finn Wittrock, Judy Davis, and Corey Stoll.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/OXrcDonY-B8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Cursed</strong></span></p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve all heard of the story of King Arthur and his sword Excalibur which he got from the Lady of the Lake, this show is going to explore the myth of lake-ridden lady, aka Nimue, and how she got there, as well as her younger years. The new show is also set to explore the legend of the famed king and his trusted wizard sidekick Merlin.</p>
<p>The lead role is going to Katherine Langford, alongside Devon Terell, Gustaf Skarsgard, and Daniel Sherman.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2C8fB8p6crY?start=117" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Resident Evil</strong></span></p>
<p>There were games, then over the top movies, and now Netflix is bringing a show that will focus on the franchise&rsquo;s roots, horror, and (of course) zombies. Apparently this show is still in its early stages so no news on the cast, or release date, but what we do know that it&rsquo;s going back to the beginning, and we hope it&rsquo;s more like &ldquo;The Walking Dead&rdquo;.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TuAM-b7m3iw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The Queen&rsquo;s Gambit</strong></span></p>
<p>Going back to the Cold War era, this show is based on the book of the same name and will follow a young chess prodigy played by Anya Taylor-Joy, who finds success in her life but with that success, she also finds escalating obstacles.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1590926216-the-witch-anya-taylor-joy.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="310" />The Serpent</strong></span></p>
<p>This one is a collaboration between Netflix and BBC, and will look at Charles Sobhraj who was a French thief, fraudster and serial killer who preyed on Western tourists in the 1970s, his terrorizing life, and his capture in 2003.</p>
<p>The eight-episode miniseries will star Tahar Rahim, Jenna Coleman, Billy Howle, and Ellie Bamber.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1590926200-333.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="620" />Ju-On (The Grudge)</strong></span></p>
<p>A horror series based on &ldquo;The Grudge&rdquo;? Yes, Please! An already successful franchise, and one of the most terrifying ones put to film in Japan and the USA, it&rsquo;s getting the series treatment and we&rsquo;re both horrified, and excited.</p>
<p>No news on who will star yet, but the synopsis reads: &ldquo;The J-horror classic franchise &ldquo;Ju-On&rdquo; was actually based on real events that occurred over four decades&ndash; and the truth is even more terrifying.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/O2NKzO-fxwQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Jupiter&rsquo;s Legacy</strong></span></p>
<p>In the vein of &ldquo;The Boys&rdquo;, this show was created by Mark Millar who already had many of his works adapted to the big screen including &ldquo;The Kingsman&rdquo; to say the least, so this one has us intrigued.</p>
<p>The show will look at a world that has been taken over by superheroes at the highest form of government, which leads lesser superheroes to face the decision of whether to fight with the resistance or just stand aside.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1590926179-Jupiters-legacy-750x422-1-1200x900.jpg" alt="" />1899</strong></span></p>
<p>A historical horror series, this one comes from the creators of &ldquo;Dark&rdquo; which has taken the world by storm. But this one looks at a group of immigrants on a ship in 1899 who are coming to the US for a fresh start only for another ship with a dark mystery to intercept them. Ooooh, spooky.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1590926166-lossless-page1-1200px-OCEANIC_-_Sjohistoriska_museet_-_Fo57172.tif.png" alt="" />The Chronicles of Narnia</strong></span></p>
<p>Amazon is doing &ldquo;Lord of the Rings&rdquo;, HBO has &ldquo;His Dark Materials&rdquo; and &ldquo;Game of Thrones&rdquo;. But Netflix is bringing &ldquo;The Chronicles of Narnia&rdquo; to life, and it will start all the way back from the beginning, but luckily it has seven books to pull from, so it has a lot of material to work with.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lWKj41HZBzM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>10 After Midnight</strong></span></p>
<p>Gullermo del Toro is one of the masters of horror, and he&rsquo;s taking his skills to Netflix with a new anthology series that will serve as one of his scariest works to date, as he&rsquo;s bringing in some of the best horror writers in the world to work on the project that will scare the living daylights out of us, and we can&rsquo;t wait.</p>

<p>Egypt is expected to get rid of the mandatory quarantine for repatriated citizens altogether, enforcing a home quarantine order on them instead.</p>
<p>Acting chairman of EgyptAir Mohamed Zakaria revealed the news in a press statement yesterday, explaining that repatriated citizens will be tested at the airport to see if they are infected with COVID-19 and if they are in the clear, they will be allowed to leave on the condition that they undergo a 14-day quarantine in their homes.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591094286-1440x810_cmsv2_76e45318-15a2-5b87-b0d2-fee1fd269fa7-4476330.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" />Patients who test positive for the illness at the airport will be taken to one of the nation&rsquo;s quarantine units to receive treatment until they are better, at which time they will be allowed to leave.</p>
<p>Zakaria asserted that EgyptAir is taking all the necessary measures outlined by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO) to make sure that passengers are as safe as possible on their journeys to Egypt from wherever they are returning from.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/x9FZ8UCnLDQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Repatriation flights are still underway to bring back Egyptian citizens stuck abroad, unable to return due to the lockdown measures that the whole world is currently witnessing.</p>
<p>There has been no new updates on when international flights are set to resume in Egypt, and indeed there has been much speculation and rumors but no official decision has been taken yet.</p>

EgyptAir chairman announces that the mandatory quarantine for COVID-negative repatriated citizens will be abolished in the near future.

Egypt May Cancel Mandatory Quarantine For Repatriated Citizens Who Test Negative For COVID-19

<p>Egyptian hotels have been given the greenlight to increase their operating capacity to 50% provided they meet the Ministry of Health&rsquo;s strict guidelines with regards to COVID-19 preventive measures.</p>
<p>Starting May 15, several hotels nationwide were allowed to open their doors at 25% capacity as the government attempted to curb the spread of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as well as curtail the economic repercussions of a closed down tourism sector, especially for a nation like Egypt that relies heavily on tourism for its GDP.&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmoantiquities%2Fposts%2F3103764853002477&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=529&amp;appId" width="552" height="529" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>The Ministry of Tourism &amp; Antiquities made the announcement yesterday via their social media platforms, asserting that hotels that have received the OK from the Ministry of Health to open their doors may now increase their capacity to 50%.</p>
<p>Hotels have been closed to the public since the halting of much of the country&rsquo;s services back in March to curb the spread of COVID-19, but since the announcement in May around 78 hotels have been given the greenlight to open their doors to tourists after meeting the healthy and safety requirements put in place by the government to ensure tourists are as safe as possible while they are on vacation.</p>
<p>The tourism sector in Egypt has been hit very hard by the ongoing pandemic, especially since international flights have been halted since mid-March. The deputy to the Minister of Tourism &amp; Antiquities Minister Abdel-Fattah Al-Assi announced that during the Eid vacation, a time when tourists usually descend upon vacation spots in Egypt, hotels reported few visitors, with few coming of them even reaching the 25% occupancy mark.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmoantiquities%2Fposts%2F3091590287553267&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=799&amp;appId" width="552" height="799" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>According to Ahram Online, the occupancy rates during Eid were at 8% in South Sinai, 13% in the Red Sea governorate, 25% in Suez's Ain El Sokhna city, 25% in Alexandria, 4% in the North Coast and Matrouh, and 9% in Greater Cairo.</p>
<p>Hotels operating at the moment are subjected to routine inspections to make sure they are not ignoring the Ministry of Health&rsquo;s requirements to ensure visitors are safe.</p>
<p>Egypt recorded the first drop in new coronavirus cases yesterday when the ministry of health announced 1399 new cases bringing the total number of cases to 24,384. There were also 46 new deaths recorded yesterday bringing the death toll past the 1000-mark to 1005. So far there have been 6447 recoveries from the infection nationwide.</p>

After operating at 25% capacity for the past two weeks, Egypt's hotels can no increase that number to 50%.

Egypt's Hotels Can Now Increase Their Occupancy Rates To 50%

<p>Facebook employees staged a walk out earlier this week, and it's all due to the company's silence amid the ongoing revolts shaking the USA right now in light of the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent outrage over police brutality towards African Americans.</p>
<p>Employees began voicing their anger and disappointment over Facebook&rsquo;s decision not to address, block, or censor a post from US President Donald Trump which was deemed racist, as well as inciting people to violence against those demonstrating the murder of Floyd.</p>
<p>Employees denounced CEO Mark Zuckerberg for hypocrisy after he promised to do more to make the world&rsquo;s largest social network site more inclusive, less politically divisive, and a safe place against discrimination.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591086203-uploads2Fcard2Fimage2F13276832F4ac3b4fd-e54c-49f9-b9ab-e7e0a9539c44.webp2Ffull-fit-in__950x534.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="1341" />The accusations came after Facebook did nothing in response to a post made by Donald Trump on Thursday calling the protesters thugs, and threatening that when "the looting starts, the shooting starts," a post immediately flagged by Twitter as glorifying violence.</p>
<p>In response to the company&rsquo;s inaction, Jason Toff, a director of product management at Facebook, voiced his disapproval of how Facebook handled recent posts by President Donald Trump.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I work at Facebook and I am not proud of how we're showing up. The majority of coworkers I've spoken to feel the same way. We are making our voice heard.</p>
&mdash; Jason Toff (@jasontoff) <a href="https://twitter.com/jasontoff/status/1267318891203530752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2020</a></blockquote>
<p>Toff is not the only Facebook employee who doesn't agree with Zuckerberg. Following his tweet, several other Facebook employees, including Software Engineer Lauren Tan, Head of Design for Portal Andrew Crow, and product R&amp;D team lead Jason Stirman, voiced their disapproval, too.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">I don't know what to do, but I know doing nothing is not acceptable. I'm a FB employee that completely disagrees with Mark's decision to do nothing about Trump's recent posts, which clearly incite violence. I'm not alone inside of FB. There isn't a neutral position on racism.</p>
&mdash; Stirman (@stirman) <a href="https://twitter.com/stirman/status/1266876587472896000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 30, 2020</a></blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Censoring information that might help people see the complete picture *is* wrong. But giving a platform to incite violence and spread disinformation is unacceptable, regardless who you are or if it&rsquo;s newsworthy. I disagree with Mark&rsquo;s position and will work to make change happen.</p>
&mdash; Andrew (@AndrewCrow) <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewCrow/status/1267313197377187842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2020</a></blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mark is wrong, and I will endeavor in the loudest possible way to change his mind.</p>
&mdash; Ryan Freitas (@ryanchris) <a href="https://twitter.com/ryanchris/status/1267252760182788096?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 1, 2020</a></blockquote>
<p>Zuckerberg called Trump on Friday and expressed his concerns about the president's "tone and rhetoric." He reportedly told the president that his words "put Facebook in a difficult position."</p>
<p>In an interview on Fox News, Zuckerberg said he would not hide the post as "Facebook shouldn't be the arbiter of truth" online.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg weighs in on Fox News regarding President Trump's spat with Twitter over its fact checking policy. Zuckerberg told Fox News anchor Dana Perino that Facebook and other social media companies should avoid policing content on their platforms. <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FoxNews</a> <a href="https://t.co/rS48ASHQWa">pic.twitter.com/rS48ASHQWa</a></p>

<p>However Facebook&rsquo;s policy has flagged the BDS movement for Ant-Semitism, Iranian government pages informing citizens of the COVID-19 outbreak for being unofficial information on the virus, and even African-Americans who point out white racism for being racist.</p>
<p>Facebook has come under criticism of racism before, black Americans who make posts about racism often find their comments flagged, and removed, accompanied by threats of locking their accounts. Between 2018 and 2019, Facebook saw a wave of resignations, open letters, and internal protests from its black employees who accused the company of perpetuating a culture of systemic racism within the company.</p>
<p>Zuckerberg has moved to make Facebook more accountable to the US government after the Cambridge Analytica scandal exposed Facebook&rsquo;s connection to right-wing extremists and foreign governments such as Russia. Facebook was caught selling the information of more than one-hundred million of its users to political agents interested in influencing the 2016 US elections, information that was later used to create divisive political ads designed to polarize US society.</p>

Facebook sees internal protests over racism

Facebook Employees Stage A Revolt Against Company's Silence Over George Floyd's Murder

<p>The Egyptian government announced a price cap on all COVID-19 treatments and quarantines at all hospitals nationwide.</p>
<p>The decision was announced by the Ministry of Health yesterday in light of a few things. Firstly, congestion at state-run isolation hospitals which have been equipped to handle coronavirus cases has put a certain amount of strain on the national budget. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, many people are avoiding state-run isolation hospitals because they are worried that if they head down there to get tested, they would have to interact with a large number of people infected with coronavirus, so they opt instead to not go in at all and end up infecting more people than they would have had they chosen to isolate at a state-run hospital.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591081560-2020_6_2_3_7_24_620.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="911" />
<figcaption><em>The Ministry of Health's official decree on the new pricing system</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Furthermore, the ministry was getting reports that private hospitals have been overcharging for treating cases of COVID-19, which is not something that should be tolerated in light of the ongoing pandemic, especially considering the recent upsurge in the national case count.</p>
<p>The new daily price caps imposed by the ministry on private hospitals are as follows: between EGP 1,500-3000 for &ldquo;low level&rdquo; quarantine services, which are for mild cases of infection that don&rsquo;t need a great deal of medical attention or resources to get better. For more severe cases of the virus, where patients need a bed in the ICU but don&rsquo;t need to use a ventilator the price will be EGP5,000-7,000. And for those who need intensive care and a ventilator, the price will be EGP7,500-10,000.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6OG0U53gROk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Amr Adib covered the story on his show &ldquo;El Hekaya&rdquo; yesterday, and highlighted the fact that while the government has been fighting tooth and nail to make sure everyone who gets the virus has access to good medical resources, many of the nation&rsquo;s wealthier citizens might want to opt for private healthcare options to avoid crowds at state-run isolation hospitals, and Adib thinks that the government should let them, considering the fact that that would reduce pressure on the nation&rsquo;s medical facilities.</p>
<p>When the coronavirus pandemic began in Egypt, there was one isolation hospital operated by the state in Marsa Matrouh called Al-Nagila. The number of facilities equipped to treat COVID-19 has since grown to include 367 isolation units nationwide, including hospitals, university dorms and youth hostels.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fegypt.mohp%2Fposts%2F177207887163165&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=431&amp;appId" width="552" height="431" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Egypt recorded the first drop in new coronavirus cases yesterday when the ministry of health announced 1399 new cases bringing the total number of cases to 24,384.

Egypt Announces New Price Caps On COVID-19 Treatments At All Hospitals Nationwide

<p>If you watched the history-making flight of SpaceX and NASA&rsquo;s latest mission to the International Space Station (ISS), you might have noticed that the astronauts' suits looked a little different than they usually do, and that they were more like superhero ones than astronauts, and you&rsquo;d be right in that assumption.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s because Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX brought in Ironhead Studio&rsquo;s Jose Fernandez to design the suits for the latest mission. Fernandez already has a deep connection with Hollywood as he&rsquo;s designed some of the most famous superhero suits you can think of, including Batman&rsquo;s suit and armored look in &ldquo;Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice&rdquo;, Wonder Woman&rsquo;s armor in the same film, as well as some of Marvel&rsquo;s superheroes too like Thor, Black Panther and Captain America.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/EBi_TqieaQ4" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Fernandez worked on the suits for the SpaceX astronauts and in his designs he fixed issues NASA was struggling with for years, and it&rsquo;s how the astronauts would be able to move their heads and necks as most of the helmets back then were basically bolted on leading to limited visibility, something Fernandez solved in his designs as the necks have articulation which would help the spacemen move it and see better.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591084265-nasa-spacex-crew-dragon-suit.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="351" />The designer revealed in an interview with Forbes that Musk wanted the suits to have a presence that would leave a lingering effect of awe and respect similar to what a superhero suit would do.</p>
<p>"He (Musk) kept saying, 'Anyone looks better in a tux, no matter what size or shape they are,' and when people put this space suit on, he wants them to look better than they did without it, like a tux. You look heroic in it,"&nbsp;said Fernandez.</p>
<p>Something the publication noticed and is in fact true that the helmets of the new suits look a lot like Daft Punk&rsquo;s which makes sense as Fernandez was the one who developed them with the music duo as well.</p>

<p>Teaching robots everyday Arabic seems like a simple enough task, right? Well apparently it's not so simple.</p>
<p>As computer engineers and software developers that make artificial intelligent assistants like Siri and Alexa struggle to create a predictive software for understanding Arabic, they are running into more than coding difficulties when wondering how users will talk to their computers, and how best those computers should respond.</p>
<p>The issue is forcing a team of computer scientists at the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) to address the structural and philosophical question; what is Arabic to its half-a-billion speakers?</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591095078-Sheraa.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="350" />&ldquo;I usually joke about how even in the Arab imagination we have a black hole,&rdquo; said Nizar Habash, program head of computer science lab at New York University Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p>&ldquo;How do I talk to a computer or a robot? What would I actually say to it? In what dialect? How would it answer back?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Those are the questions Mr. Habash&rsquo;s team are seeking to answer in their quest to make everyday Arabic understandable to machines.</p>
<p>However, Nizar Habash is discovering that the issue of how to make an understandable spoken Arabic for both users and machines is a structural feature of Arabic at its heart; Arabic is a written language, while the spoken versions come down to local dialects which vary greatly from one region to the next.</p>
<p>Modern Standard Arabic is one of the United Nations' six languages, it is the official language of the Arab League, and it is taught at all schools, while spoken language is often considered the lower form of Arabic by institutions and academics.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tIC9Mz2YvLY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>However, that is the exact problems users have with teaching spoken Arabic to personal assistants like Siri and Alexa as users would like to feel like they are speaking to a neighbor, not a professor or government official.</p>
<p>The NYUAD lab plans to change this.</p>
<p>This year, it will release text prediction software for Gulf Arabic using a collection of 200,000 words compiled last year. The collection, called the Gumar Corpus, opens the door for predictive text, speech recognition and speech synthesis in the Gulf dialect.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591095230-league.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="346" />The development of dialect in computing has not been welcomed by everybody. Formal Arabic still lags behind English and many believe it should be the priority to help make the language more universal to its speakers which was the initial goal of Modern Standard Arabic, created with Arab unity in mind, Arabic was envisioned as the glue that would hold the disparate differences of the community together.</p>
<p>&ldquo;People, just by default, think dialects are just bad Arabic,&rdquo; Mr. Habash said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s such an insult to all of this wonderful culture that is celebrated and enjoyed but at the same time denied status.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The variety of spellings in dialect is another obstacle.</p>
<p>For Mr. Habash, the need for more programming in dialect came from his personal experience, originally Palestinian, Habash was born in Iraq, grew up in Lebanon, Tunisia, and Syria, went to school in the Soviet Union and finally moved to the US to study linguistics and computer engineering in college.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/blrGmR4-qaY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>His issue is that not many people speak to each other in formal fus-ha, even users text to each other in an internet friendly dialect.</p>
<p>&ldquo;And of course, you know, when it comes to people who cannot read or write, they only have dialect,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It is the dominant form in the spoken space, so we have to deal with whatever that means.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Our goal is to develop a better understanding of the data to build better applications. It&rsquo;s not to make political statements. Our goal, from a technology point of view, is just to try and catch up with what&rsquo;s happening in other languages technologically.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Technical Hurdles</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/afkb15RwDLU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Machines can learn languages by comparing identical documents in two languages or similar texts in different languages about the same topic, such as news stories. But news stories and government papers are written in formal Arabic and there are few comparative texts in dialects.</p>
<p>Each word must be manually labelled, or annotated, with descriptors such as tense and gender. With hundreds of thousands of examples, a computer can teach itself the language.</p>
<p>The more examples are used, the better the prediction.</p>
<p>&ldquo;People are so fixated about algorithms when they do AI but they don&rsquo;t ask where the data for algorithms comes from,&rdquo; Habash said.</p>
<p>&ldquo;If your data is not done in a proper, consistent way, you&rsquo;re going to get garbage in and garbage out.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Formal Arabic has about a million annotated words. The Egyptian dialect, spoken by about 98 million people and a vast diaspora, has 400,000 annotated words.</p>
<p>Levantine Arabic has about 50,000 annotated words and Gulf Arabic has 200,000 annotated words, thanks to the NYUAD project.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591095306-Online-web-interface-for-browsing-Gumar.png" alt="" width="620" height="188" />To compile its collection of words, the Gumar project had to find non-copyrighted text in dialect, and a lot of it.</p>
<p>Researchers hit the jackpot when they found a directory of 1,200 romantic novels written by anonymous women. The genre was popular in the blogs before the rise of social media.</p>
<p>The blogs contained more than 100 million words in Gulf Arabic, which is where the annotation process began.</p>
<p>The next hurdle was how the computer would understand the meaning of a word based on context. A single written word in Arabic, on average, has three meanings, seven pronunciations and 12 interpretations.</p>
<p>Annotating 200,000 words took three Egyptian linguistics in Alexandria, who were experts in the Gulf dialect, eight months to decipher. This was finished last August. Meanwhile, NYUAD researchers began to train computers to distinguish and translate between dialects.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The politics of language equality</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XqkH6M2BPLE" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&ldquo;Dialect databases matter because they make technology accessible to all,&rdquo; said Mona Diab, a computer science professor at George Washington University.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We are behind because Arabic needs a lot of resources, a lot of investment and this has become very low.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re basically giving people first-hand access to information, so I think that&rsquo;s one of the most important and impactful aspects of dialect and technology,&rdquo; said Dr. Diab, who specialized in natural language processing.</p>
<p>&ldquo;You won&rsquo;t need to have an education to understand what&rsquo;s happening.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Language equality is an issue Dr. Diab knows from first hand experience from when she was a girl in Egypt. Her uncles lived in the Gulf during the First Gulf War and her illiterate grandmother relied on her grandchildren to translate televised news about the conflict into her dialect because she couldn&rsquo;t understand the formal Arabic on the broadcast.</p>
<p>&ldquo;How do you guarantee fairness and equality in the data that you&rsquo;re using?&rdquo; she asked.</p>
<p>&ldquo;How do you use that to create better technology and how do you use that to democratize knowledge?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Technological investment in dialect requires government support. Otherwise, the Arab world could be left behind.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;AI Arabic research is led by the West. If Arabs do not do it themselves, there can be unintended consequences,&rdquo; says Professor Diab.</p>
<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s always a cultural dimension and a nuance that is going to be missed if you&rsquo;re not native to the culture. It&rsquo;s not just about language, it&rsquo;s about identity. It&rsquo;s now an opportunity to define our identity outside an occidental or outside perspective.&rdquo;</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Iej4bme7f7A" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Funding for Arabic dropped as western countries reduced their military presence in the Middle East, said Khaled Shaalan, a professor of computer science at the British University in Dubai.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The United States and many other places stopped funding projects. At the time that there was war, yes, they were interested. But now they have switched to other languages.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have the technology now, the computer capacity to do language processing. All we need is the funding to train the career researchers who will work on this. It needs effort.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The debate over whether Modern Standard Arabic or dialect Arabic should be prioritized will likely continue, however these researchers are attempting to do their part in saving the language from becoming obsolete in the computer age.</p>

<p>A unique cemetery dating back to the final years of an independent Egypt has been discovered at the site of ancient Oxyrhynchus, or modern day Bahnasa in Minya Governorate.</p>
<p>The discovery was made by an Egyptian-Spanish archaeological mission affiliated to the University of Barcelona.</p>
<p>Mostafa Waziri, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the cemetery is unique, and is in a style that has not been discovered in Egypt before.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589878950-97447484_3067401103305519_3100164641871888384_n-492x430.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="542" />The cemetery consists of one room built of polished limestone. Its walls have a curvature from the top at the beginning of the roof, which makes it flat and not vaulted, as is customary in the rest of the previously discovered tombs in the area. Waziri further pointed out that no funerary furniture had been found in it.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589878970-75449.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="373" />Oxyrhynchus is considered one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered in Egypt, and has yielded an enormous collection of papyri dating from the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt.</p>
<p>It has been estimated that over 70% of all the literary papyri so far discovered in Egypt come from Oxyrhynchus. These include copies of well-known standard works and previously unknown works by the greatest authors of antiquity.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589879001-96833-8ee7a837-64b4-4b9f-95f1-6c57c29211f5.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" />The University of Barcelona recently released documentation found in Oxyrhynchus on the plague of Justinian based on papyrus accounts of doctors in Egypt. There are still thousands of texts still being translated and catalogued from finds in Oxyrhynchus.</p>
<p>The new discovery, however, shows that there remain many secrets that have not been revealed yet in Bahnasa.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589879167-111993-aa0c9cf7-ac8b-4ff7-968a-8b6600608b5e.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="339" />Esther Ponce, head of the joint Egyptian-Spanish mission, said that the excavations showed eight Roman-era tombs with domed and unmarked roofs. Inside the tombs, the archaeologists found many Roman tombstones, bronze coins, small crosses, and clay seals.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589879139-615483-b24ba1da-1860-45b4-a4ef-7cc07db29550.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="461" />Many of&nbsp;Oxyrhynchus' structures are still undiscovered. The modern city of Bahnasa was built on top of Oxyrhynchus, as the Nile stopped flooding around the city and began to be buried underneath the sand. Before the Arab invasion, Oxyrhynchus was the third largest city in Egypt.</p>

<figcaption><em>A massive statue of&nbsp;Psamtik I was discovered in Matariya in 2017, the picture shows the discover of two toes of the massive granite statue</em>.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The cemetery dates back to Ancient Egypt&rsquo;s late period, between 664 BC and 332 BC, in what is also called the El-Sawi era. This period is defined by the end of foreign rule by the Nubian 25th Dynasty, and Egyptian resistance to Assyrian invasion and control of the country.</p>
<p>Psamtik I both united all of Egypt and freed it from Assyrian control, establishing the 26th dynasty. He also destroyed the last vestiges of the previous dynasty&rsquo;s control over Upper Egypt, restoring the country&rsquo;s prosperity during his 54-year reign.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls</strong></span></p>
<p>Changing it back to a dessert, we can all agree that Cinnabon&rsquo;s cinnamon rolls are a decadent flavorful dessert that we all love, and while it used to get messy when trying to eat it at the actual place, now you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home, and it&rsquo;s great to try your hand at something new since everybody is baking right now.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ingredients</strong></span>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Dough</strong></span></p>
<p>2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast</p>
<p>1 cup milk lukewarm</p>
<p>1/2 cup granulated sugar</p>
<p>1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened, or margarine</p>
<p>1 tsp salt</p>
<p>2 eggs</p>
<p>4 cups all-purpose flour</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Filling</strong></span></p>
<p>1 cup brown sugar packed</p>
<p>3 tbsp cinnamon</p>
<p>1/3 cup butter unsalted, softened, or margarine</p>
<p>Cream cheese icing</p>
<p>6 tbsp butter unsalted, softened, or margarine</p>
<p>1 1/2 cups powdered sugar also known as icing sugar, or confectioner's sugar</p>
<p>1/4 cup cream cheese at room temperature</p>
<p>1/2 tsp vanilla extract</p>
<p>1/8 tsp salt</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Directions</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>For the rolls, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk with a tsp of sugar (you can take a tsp out of the 1/2 cup of sugar) in a large bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. If the yeast is good, it will start to froth up.</li>
<li>To the bowl of your mixer add the sugar, butter or margarine, salt, eggs, and flour and mix until well incorporated.</li>
<li>Pour the milk/yeast mixture over the flour mixture and using the dough hook, mix well until well incorporated and the dough comes clean from the side of the bowl.</li>
<li>Place the dough into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place about 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.</li>
<li>Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.</li>
<li>Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.</li>
<li>Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, until it is approximately 16 inches long by 12 inches wide. It should be approximately 1/4 inch in thickness.</li>
<li>Spread the 1/3 cup of butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the sugar evenly over the surface of the dough.</li>
<li>Working carefully, from the long edge, roll the dough down to the bottom edge.</li>
<li>Cut the dough into 1 1/2 inch slices, and place in a lightly greased baking pan. You can also use floss to cut into slices, as seen in the video. Place the cut rolls in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.</li>
<li>Preheat oven to 350 degrees.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cooking time can vary greatly!</li>
<li>While the rolls are baking make the icing by mixing all the icing ingredients and beat well with an electric mixer until fluffy and smooth.</li>
<li>When the rolls are done, spread generously with icing.</li>

6 Fast Food Recipies You Can Replicate At Home

<p>Google has been working on wellbeing oriented apps and programs from some time, with new features coming out every I/O developer conference, however, with this year&rsquo;s one getting cancelled due to covid-19, the company is still rolling out something just on the down-low.</p>
<p>While 2018 focused on screen time, and 2019 focused on parental control, 2020 is dedicated to helping users get the most of their sleep time with the new &ldquo;Bedtime&rdquo; mode, previously known as &ldquo;Wind Down&rdquo;, in hopes to fight insomnia, stress and anxiety, that according to their data spiked in searches recently.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591087661-1_Bedtime_mode.gif" alt="" width="620" height="620" />The feature in the &ldquo;Digital Wellbeing&rdquo; app is set to help people sleep more efficiently and avoid things that would disrupt their deep sleep like phone calls, messages, or notifications, essentially a &ldquo;Do Not Disturb&rdquo; button while the user rests.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591087622-2-Clock-Bedtime.png" alt="" width="620" height="620" />Users will be able to schedule when their sleep cycles usually are and get notified when it&rsquo;s time for bed, to help maintain it, setting up sleep and waking times, as well as the music or alarm people would wake up to ranging everything from their favorite songs to sounds from nature just to make it less jarring than a submarine alarm system.</p>
<p>The new system is out on Pixel phones now but will roll out to Android devices later in the summer.</p>

Google is updatine Android's Bedtime feature to help people get more sleep.

Android Launches “Bedtime” Feature To Help Users Get The Most Out Of Their Sleep

<p>We&rsquo;ve been getting a &ldquo;Call of Duty&rdquo; game now every year, and with more people staying at home because of covid-19, fans are waiting for the game now more than ever, and while 2019&rsquo;s &ldquo;Call of Duty: Modern Warfare&rdquo; took the reboot route, it seems like this year&rsquo;s one will be a return to form.</p>
<p>If the leaks are to be believed the game is expected to titled &ldquo;Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War&rdquo; which is kind of a mouthful if we&rsquo;re being honest, nevertheless it&rsquo;s a good point to look at, and with Activision having several sub-studios including Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Sledgehammer Games working on different sub-series for the CoD franchise it looks like we&rsquo;re seeing the company going back to one of it&rsquo;s already established roots.</p>
<p>The leaked name comes from Twitter user Okami who many believe to be a reliable CoD leaker, and his information was later confirmed by Eurogamer who checked on the name using their own sources.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="und"><a href="https://t.co/28eEg7Rfa6">pic.twitter.com/28eEg7Rfa6</a></p>
&mdash; Okami (@Okami13_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Okami13_/status/1262774644903424000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2020</a></blockquote>
<p>It&rsquo;s safe to say that Treyarch will be taking the lead in developing this one since they are the ones who started the &ldquo;Black Ops&rdquo; sub-series making this their fifth title after their game &ldquo;Call of Duty Black Ops 4&rdquo; which was mainly a multiplayer-only game and completely dropped the solo campaign.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/OtRnpC7ddv8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>No news on what the main plotline of the game will follow, but we have a clue that it will take place during the Cold War, but since that war was between 1947 and 1991, it&rsquo;s going to be hard to pinpoint,&nbsp;</p>
<p>The previous &ldquo;Black Ops&rdquo; games looked at several Vietnam war missions, as well as Soviet counterintelligence, so we expect to see more of that in the new game.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/6kqe2ICmTxc" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>No release date has been revealed as of yet, but if we go by previous years, it&rsquo;s supposed to come out near mid to last of October.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Black Ops 3&rdquo; had a mission set in Egypt where the main character works with the Egyptian Military to stop a terrorist cell set to attach the country, the scene features some of Cairo&rsquo;s landmarks including &ldquo;Mahatet Masr&rdquo; Cairo&rsquo;s main train station, as well as Ramsees Square.</p>

Upcoming Call of Duty game is returning to the Black Ops subseries with the title Cold War according to leaks.

Upcoming “Call Of Duty” Reported To Be Titled “Black Ops: Cold War” 

<p>Get ready because you might find yourself shopping from Facebook &amp; Instagram instead of going somewhere else.</p>
<p>Facebook announced during a Mark Zuckerberg live-stream that it&rsquo;s launching &ldquo;Shops&rdquo; on both its own website as well as on Instagram, where people would be able to make purchases directly from the website instead of going to other websites to do so.</p>
<p>This means businesses will be able to upload their catalog directly to their Facebook page, from where users can make their purchases, as according to Facebook this will help small businesses that rely on social media for their marketing and announcements as their customers will find all they need in one location.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Ffacebook%2Fvideos%2F607738026499419%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>This will be a very different experience than that of the already established &ldquo;Marketplace&rdquo; on Facebook, as this will be directly on the business&rsquo; page where not only will users be able to see what they want, but also make the purchase on Facebook, it will also do the same thing on Instagram, and will roll out a new shops icon at the bottom of the application soon.</p>
<p>The service should already be running on Facebook for over a million businesses who have signed on as a trial early on, with more to roll out as they sign up for the feature.</p>
<p>While Facebook states that its intentions are to help the small businesses, other reports claim that Facebook is just using this new service to carve out a place for itself in the e-commerce market, as well as keep users on their platform even longer, which would in turn bring in more revenue through ads, and a small charge it will add to those purchases done on its platform.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589962335-facebook-shops_color-3d96792492c9fbf893b9cec11c5b369abc7bb2a4-s800-c85.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" />"We're seeing a lot of small businesses that never had online presences get online for the first time, and we're seeing small businesses that had online presence now make them their primary way of doing business. For lots of small businesses during this period, this is the difference between staying afloat and going under," said Zuckerberg in the Livestream.</p>
<p>"We know that if [Facebook] Shops are valuable for businesses they're going to in general want to bid more for ads. We'll eventually make money that way," he continued.</p>
<p>Zuckerberg also announced that it is partnering with Bing eCommerce websites including Shopify, BigCommerce, Woo, Channel Advisor, CedCommerce, Cafe24, Tienda Nube and Feedonomics to help them create the best shopping experience they can for users.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589962405-uploads2Fcard2Fimage2F13124492Ff354dc15-07bd-4108-8649-3e23485bb3d5.jpeg2F950x534__filters3Aquality288029.jpg" alt="" />&ldquo;Facebook Shops allows Shopify merchants to get control over customization and merchandising for their storefronts inside Facebook and Instagram while managing their products, inventory, orders, and fulfillment directly from within Shopify,&rdquo; stated Shopify in an announcement.</p>
<p>Many people are feeling wary of the whole new situation, because Facebook doesn&rsquo;t have the best record when it comes to the users&rsquo; well being and their privacy and security, so adding the ability to enter their card details on the website will be a leap, not a lot will take.</p>

Facebook is launching "Shops" on both Facebook and Instagram so users can buy stuff directly from the webstie.

<p>If you ever wanted to get back to Hogwarts and play a &ldquo;Harry Potter&rdquo; themed &ldquo;Candy Crush&rdquo; game, gaming company Zynga has you covered as they&rsquo;re developing a match-3 puzzle game centered around the wizarding world for mobile phones.</p>
<p>Titled &ldquo;Harry Potter: Puzzles &amp; Spells&rdquo; the game is officially licensed by Warner Bros. interactive meaning that you&rsquo;ll be able to see your favorite actors&rsquo; likenesses and not a cheap imitation. The game also features locations like Hogwarts, the Griffindor common room, and even Diagon Alley.</p>
<p>Zynga released a trailer for the upcoming game giving fans a glimpse of what to expect, unfortunately, however, didn&rsquo;t show much gameplay, besides hinting that it&rsquo;s a match-3 game, it also didn&rsquo;t provide a release date, only &ldquo;Coming Soon&rdquo; which doesn&rsquo;t tell us much.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check out the trailer below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TKEHowsyby4" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>"From the Great Hall of Hogwarts to the Gryffindor common room, Harry Potter: Puzzles &amp; Spells gives players a chance to revisit their favorite Wizarding World landmarks in a new way. This new trailer gives the first look at what to expect, and we urge fans to stay tuned to the magic, mischief, and puzzles ahead through the game&rsquo;s website," said Bernard Kim, president of publishing at Zynga, in a statement.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a fantastical spell casting action-filled &ldquo;Harry Potter&rdquo; game this isn&rsquo;t it but it&rsquo;s something to keep you entertained while they develop one. There have been rumors of a game being developed by Avalanche Games that would get released soon, and there&rsquo;s even a leaked trailer on YouTube that had a lot of people excited, but the company has been tight-lipped so we have no clue about a release date about that one either.</p>

“GTA V” Is Going To Be Free For A Limited Time Only On PC

<p>Epic Games, the creators of the Unreal Engine revealed their plans for their upcoming rendition of the gaming engine &ldquo;Unreal Engine 5&rdquo; using gameplay footage off a new PlayStation 5 (PS5) showing the power of the upcoming console for the first time and the results were gorgeous.</p>
<p>This is the first time fans got to see gameplay from a game or even a demo directly from a PS5, and it has everybody really excited. Titled &ldquo;Lumen in the Land of Nanite&rdquo; it showed off what is exactly new in the upcoming engine which is set to launch next year, and from the title&rsquo;s name the &ldquo;lumen&rdquo; and &ldquo;nanite&rdquo; are those newly added technologies that made all of the difference.</p>
<p>You might be asking yourself what a &ldquo;lumen&rdquo; or&ldquo;nanite&rdquo; are, the former is the illumination system that provides the photorealistic lighting which was one of the most impressive ones we&rsquo;ve ever seen in games to date, the latter, on the other hand, is the virtual geometry system with which artists can render 3D models, build worlds and environments with extremely high details due to the ability to use billions upon billions of polygons, giving the players a finely detailed experience.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589446333-UnrealEngine_blog_a-first-look-at-unreal-engine-5_Unreal_Engine_5_Lumen-2491x1401-3da7aa4892984ed6e7375aa7c19aa162725b957f.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" />
<figcaption><em>Yes, this is not a real cave, but rather gameplay footage.</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p>"Nanite&nbsp;virtualized micropolygon geometry frees artists to create as much geometric detail as the eye can see. Nanite virtualized geometry means that film-quality source art comprising hundreds of millions or billions of polygons can be imported directly into Unreal Engine&mdash;anything from ZBrush sculpts to photogrammetry scans to CAD data&mdash;and it just works. Nanite geometry is streamed and scaled in real time so there are no more polygon count budgets, polygon memory budgets, or draw count budgets; there is no need to bake details to normal maps or manually author LODs; and there is no loss in quality," wrote Epic Games on their blog.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589446379-UnrealEngine_blog_a-first-look-at-unreal-engine-5_Unreal_Engine_5_Nanite-2491x1401-110edc43c67b7d81be869bf703cb40a72e557c96.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" />
<figcaption><em>Still not a real location</em></figcaption>
</figure>
<p>"Lumen&nbsp;is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. The system renders diffuse interreflection with infinite bounces and indirect specular reflections in huge, detailed environments, at scales ranging from kilometers to millimeters. Artists and designers can create more dynamic scenes using Lumen, for example, changing the sun angle for time of day, turning on a flashlight, or blowing a hole in the ceiling, and indirect lighting will adapt accordingly. Lumen erases the need to wait for lightmap bakes to finish and to author light map UVs&mdash;a huge time savings when an artist can move a light inside the Unreal Editor and lighting looks the same as when the game is run on console," they continued.</p>
<p>The tech demo basically showed off all of that in simple gameplay footage, which featured a female character that makes her way through a cave, until arriving at a shrine-like location which leads her to the portal she needs to go into.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check it out below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qC5KtatMcUw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Epic confirmed that the footage viewers were watching in the tech demo was live without any trickery, editing, and that it was coming directly from a PS5 in real-time blowing peoples&rsquo; minds even further.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s exciting to say the least, as it offers a glimpse of what gamers might expect from the upcoming console in the future, but there&rsquo;s a catch though, Epic stated that its gaming engine would release later in 2021, so for the time being the PS5 and the rest of the consoles will be using the Unreal Engine 4.25 until that happens, which isn&rsquo;t really a bad thing as that engine is already one of the most successful gaming engines on the market right now.</p>
<p>Gaming engines are the programs that game developers and studios build their games on, basically providing them with the tools needed to make their game the way they want to do it, some of the most prominent ones are Unreal Engine, Cry Engine, and Unity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>People are staying at home more than ever due to the spread of covid-19, and there is a substantial amount of them are playing videogames to pass the time, and with most gaming events like E3 getting canceled, Xbox &amp; Microsoft decided to make some reveals of their own.</p>
<p>Xbox launched a live-stream showing some of the biggest games coming out on the console when it launches later this year, and while there were games that were underwhelming there were others that were very impressive.</p>
<p>One of such titles is the one at the very beginning of the live-stream titled &ldquo;Bright Memory Infinite&rdquo; which had a mix of genres and game modes tied together including some first-person shooting and melee combat as well as driving and magic oriented enemies, needless to say people need to keep an eye on that one.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xtwPMBdgPGE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Another exciting one is &ldquo;Chrous&rdquo; a moody futuristic game which has players taking control of a superpowered character with a very peculiar looking fighter jet, and while people will be doing barrel rolls and dog fights through areas, the game looks breathtaking, grabbing our attention immediately.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gnRy-waJBjA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Lastly, our favorite entry of the stream was &ldquo;Assassin&rsquo;s Creed: Valhalla&rdquo; which takes the period piece game to the world of the Vikings, and this one looks stunning, with great visuals, and impressive gameplay, needless to say, we can&rsquo;t wait to get our hands on this one.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ach9vZJyF24" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>There were other games like &ldquo;The Medium&rdquo; which offered a horror experience even though it didn&rsquo;t show much, another interesting game was &ldquo;Second Extinction&rdquo; where players and sent back to Earth to reclaim it from another wave of dinosaurs, which looks fast-paced and a lot like &ldquo;Left 4 Dead&rdquo; but with velociraptors instead of zombies.</p>
<p>The isometric shooter &ldquo;The Ascent&rdquo; looked impressive, and a lot of fun if the multiplayer is any good, as for puzzle-oriented players, &ldquo;Call of the Sea&rdquo; is the one for them to check.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>For the rest of the games and the full stream, check out the video below:</strong></span></p>

<p>Google is adding video conferencing to everything these days and it feels like it wants to take over the videoconferencing market by any means necessary, as it&rsquo;s adding new group video calls on its free video-chat app &ldquo;Google Duo&rdquo;.</p>
<p>In a blog posted last Friday, the company announced a few new features, the biggest of which was that it was adding the group video calls in Duo (web version) with the feature rolling out in the following weeks.</p>
<p>People using the website will be able to add people in a group video chat for free on their computers, something that was recently added on phone near the end of April.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1589105653-22222.jpg" alt="" />&ldquo;In the coming weeks, you'll be able to make group calls with Duo on the web, starting as a preview on Chrome, alongside a new layout that lets you see more people at the same time. To make getting together easier, you&rsquo;ll also be able to invite anyone with a Google account to join a group call with just a link,&rdquo; wrote Google.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/58JcHKgAm5o" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>What&rsquo;s weird is that Google is making its more business-oriented system &ldquo;Google Meet&rdquo; free for people to use, which has the capability of adding as many as 100 callers at one time compared to Duo&rsquo;s 16. &ldquo;Meet&rdquo; even has the option of screen sharing making it that much more appealing.&nbsp;but the weirdness doesn&rsquo;t stop there as the company also has &ldquo;Hangouts&rdquo;, yup that&rsquo;s still a thing, which also has group video-calling options, albeit small ones.</p>
<p>Zoom is going to find itself in trouble as almost every social media or web giant is gunning for it, and its share in the video chat pie due to its meteoric rise after the spread of covid-19.</p>

<p>With a plethora of new games coming out every year, gamers wait for trailers to know what to get next, be it a new original IP, sequel, prequel, or even reboot, there&rsquo;s usually something for everybody, but nobody was expecting a trailer from 2012 to come back so strongly.</p>
<p>A &ldquo;simulated gameplay&rdquo; video of a previously canceled &ldquo;Prince of Persia&rdquo; game has been getting a lot of attention recently, even though it was originally posted on YouTube in 2012, strangely everybody failed to notice it back then, but they are now, as fans of the title have been asking for more.</p>
<p>Titled &ldquo;Prince of Persia: Redemption&rdquo;, the video featured the titled Prince in a new short-haired look than in previous games as he makes it through a crumbling city, running on walls, fighting enemies, and manipulating time along the way.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check it out below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nHbRCd8yzaw" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Some people thought it was a good fake game but video game animator, Jonathan Cooper, who has worked at Ubisoft (the video game company that makes &ldquo;Prince of Persia&rdquo; titles) confirmed it&rsquo;s validity, stating that it was a pitch video by &ldquo;For Honor&rdquo; animation director Khai Nguyen and his team for a new &ldquo;PoP&rdquo; game that was rejected, however, paved the way for Cooper and his colleagues to pitch &ldquo;Assassin&rsquo;s Creed III&rdquo;.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Wow - haven't seen this in ages. Amazing work from animation director Khai Nguyen (For Honor) and team. This target game footage (pre-rendered game pitch) inspired our own pitch for Assassin's Creed 3 as they did such a great job making it look like real gameplay. <a href="https://t.co/U9cy7v4fNp">https://t.co/U9cy7v4fNp</a></p>

<p>The last time we saw a &ldquo;PoP&rdquo; game was in 2010 with the release of &ldquo;Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands&rdquo; which received mixed reviews that were mostly positive, and breathed new life into the franchise, especially that it was released with the poorly received film, and fans have been asking for a sequel or reboot ever since, but things have been quiet on Ubisoft&rsquo;s front, and that can be explained by another tweet from Cooper, who claimed that the company thought twice about any &ldquo;PoP&rdquo; game because the profit value wasn&rsquo;t that high.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Sadly Ubisoft are generally quicker to cancel Prince of Persia games than others IPs because AFAIK original creator Jordan Mechner still holds license rights so the profit margins are lower. Would love to see a new one though. I've always wanted a PoP set in contemporary Iran,&rdquo; wrote Cooper.</p>

<p>Egyptian actor Mohamed Ramadan is at the center of yet another controversy, and this time it&rsquo;s over his sister&rsquo;s recent wedding which angered many of his fans because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>Held at a private villa in 6th of October, Ramadan&rsquo;s sister (who got engaged earlier this year in February) and her new husband hosted their respective families along with some of their close friends at a close-knit wedding ceremony yesterday that blatantly flouted many of the nation&rsquo;s COVID-19 preventive measures.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qJytzMaUqUE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Photos from the ceremony showed a decent amount of guests at the groom&rsquo;s residence on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road, celebrating the union of the pair, but what angered many fans was there was not a single face mask in sight, and the guests were blatantly ignoring social distancing measures as well.</p>
<p>Viewers on social media were quick to wonder why this wedding was even allowed to be held when the government had outlawed all wedding ceremonies amid the ongoing lockdown measures instated to curb the spread of COVID-19 a few months ago.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591000093-0f44e320-100895552_10158098704951233_7632651794073518080_n.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="384" />Reports began pouring in to a Sheikh Zayed police station that the wedding was taking place, particularly because the ceremony included a DJ and a loud speaker system that made the gathering anything but private. Officials from the station arrived at the villa and took the groom into the police station for questioning. Not the best way to start a marriage for sure, but in light of the ongoing pandemic, such tone-deaf acts need to be addressed, even if they are done by the close family members of our beloved celebrities.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1591000028-bfc8e561-79332157_10158098705066233_4058859818318823424_n.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="387" />The groom defended himself at the station by making the claim that the guest list was limited to the families of bride and groom and a handful of close friends.</p>
<p>Mohamed Ramadan&rsquo;s brother Mahmoud was then interviewed by Youm7 regarding the incident, and he asserted that the family did not break any laws since this was a private gathering at the groom&rsquo;s home, which is not something that was outlawed by the government amid their mandated coronavirus preventive measures.&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/jqH7Nmtu8Fo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>It didn&rsquo;t take long for other media outlets to double down on their criticisms of Ramadan&rsquo;s actions, with Lamis El Hadidi leading the charge on her show &ldquo;Al Qahira Al Aan.&rdquo; El Hadidi denounced Ramadan for not taking his status as a national role model seriously, calling into question how he can claim that he is &ldquo;Number 1&rdquo; (a lyric from one of his hit songs) when he was blatantly setting a bad example to Egyptians everywhere, especially in light of the rising COVID-19 case count and death toll that the nation has been witnessing over the course of the past couple of weeks.</p>

<p>After the media debacle and the social media storm, Ramadan took to his Instagram page where he posted a photo of himself with the bride and groom, while they all wore a face mask. The photo did nothing to quieten the storm, however, because earlier photos and videos from the ceremony had already shown all those in attendance without a face mask on, so the damage had been done.</p>

Mohamed Ramadan and his family anger many because of his sister's wedding ceremony ignoring coronavirus preventive measures.

<p>An Armenian singer named Arpi Petrosyan has been taking the internet by storm recently, not only because of her surprisingly dynamic voice, but also her uncanny resemblance to actress Julia Roberts when she was younger.</p>
<p>People can&rsquo;t believe their eyes, as many pointed out the obvious likeness of the two women, going as far as calling Petrosyan Roberts&rsquo; daughter.</p>
<p>The singer has been sharing some of her latest work on YouTube and other social media platforms with songs showing off her vocal talents including &ldquo;The Girl From Ipanema&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Way You Look Tonight&rdquo; making fans fall in love with her even more.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kumXca0CQPg" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Views on her videos are flooding in along with messages of love and support, with many of the comments complimenting Petrosyan on her amazing voice and her beauty, while some fans advised her to keep singing and one day she&rsquo;ll get famous, we think that kind of already happened.</p>
<p>Her videos are already going viral with over 300,000 views on YouTube alone, and millions on Facebook, and we can&rsquo;t blame them, Petrosyan has a deep-toned voice that can get gentle and sultry when she needs to, making her one talented young lady, and we can&rsquo;t wait to hear more from her in the future, can someone please sign her?!</p>

<p>Over a million users have downloaded the Egyptian Ministry of Health&rsquo;s mobile app &ldquo;Sehet Masr&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The app was launched in April allowing users to report suspected cases of coronavirus to medical authorities, whether it is themselves or other people. The app also launched with a large wealth of information on the infection, from what to do if you think you have it, to where people should go to get tested for the novel infection.&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fegypt.mohp%2Fposts%2F176646747219279&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=552&amp;height=640&amp;appId" width="552" height="640" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>The ministry&rsquo;s official spokesman Khaled Megahed revealed that the app had hit the 1-million downloads threshold earlier last week.</p>
<p>Users who report either themselves or someone they suspect might have the illness must enter the case&rsquo;s name as well as their national ID number and then medical personnel will follow up after that. Users can use the app to report which symptoms they are suffering from as well as any other relevant info that medical personnel might find useful in treating the cases.&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kyqFCcQasbI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The app can also be used to connect users with ministry personnel through the dedicated Whatsapp number or their hotline (105).</p>
<p>&ldquo;Sehet Masr&rdquo; also allows its users to get alerts if they are about to enter a neighborhood where there are confirmed cases of the novel virus, through their smartphone&rsquo;s location services.</p>

<p>Cairo currently houses the largest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Egypt.</p>
<p>At a recent press conference, Minister of Health Hala Zayed announced that Cairo currently leads the nation&rsquo;s governorates in terms of the COVID-19 case count with 7,111 confirmed cases. Giza came in second place with 2,629 cases, then Qalyubia with 1,787, Menoufia with 1,532, Fayoum with 1,277, Alexandria with 1,078 and Beheira with 988.</p>
<p>Zayed also revealed that the ministry has mobilized 1,000 medical caravans to travel around the country and disperse 8 million doses of medications to treat COVID-19 to cases nationwide that are undergoing home quarantine.</p>

Zayed also revealed that we now have 376 hospitals that are fully equipped to deal with cases of the novel infection, which is a huge jump from the 18 hospitals that had previously been treating and testing COVID-19 cases in Egypt. With this increase in hospital capacity, nearly 35,000 hospital beds are now available for treating patients with coronavirus.</p>
<p>Zayed also asserted that Egypt is using hydroxychloroquine to treat mild cases of the virus, because our tests proved that: &ldquo;It has shown effective and positive results in mild coronavirus cases,&rdquo; she said.</p>

<p>Feuds in Hollywood are as old as time, when you put so many big personalities in one room and have them work under stressful conditions, the results can be explosive. Whether its over jobs, promotions, or partners, your whole career is determined by your status which is determined by how much buzz is around you.</p>
<p>Celebrities, singers, and rappers are compelled to fight against one another in an industry that has only one place for the best and brightest star in the industry, so it's no wonder so many fights get started between them.</p>
<p>Fights can be a great way to elevate the career of both of the feuding stars, but sometimes these fights turn deadly. Here are 10 of the biggest feuds in Hollywood, some were resolved, some only resulted in a few fists thrown, while others poisoned friendships for life and even led to death.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Rock vs. Vin Diesel</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587476992-5dfbb855954bda0beb1e1743.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="465" />While filming "The Fate of the Furious" in 2017, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson posted an Instagram with a pointed message about his costar Vin Diesel.</p>
<p>"My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars, however, are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken s--- to do anything about it anyway. Candy a----." Johnson said, according to Time. The post has since been deleted.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477026-wp-1470818517756.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="747" />Diesel reportedly confronted Johnson the day after he published the post, which led to an argument.</p>
<p>Two days later, the former professional wrestler posted another Instagram.</p>
<p>"Family is gonna have differences of opinion and fundamental core beliefs. To me, conflict can be a good thing, when its followed by great resolution. I was raised on healthy conflict and welcome it. And like any family, we get better from it," wrote Johnson, as reported by Entertainment Tonight.</p>
<p>The two stars continued with pointed back and forth Instagram posts, but matters had cooled down by April 2017.</p>
<p>"We still love each other, that's my boy. When I was making that difficult decision, should there be an 8 or not, I called [Johnson] and he said, 'Brother, I will be there shoulder to shoulder with you to make sure it's the best movie in history.&rsquo; And he delivered," Diesel said on the red carpet.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Robert Kardashian and Blac Chyna</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477061-image.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="620" />In July 2017, Rob Kardashian posted a series of explicit photos and videos of his then-fianc&eacute;e Blac Chyna after she allegedly sent him a video of herself with another man.</p>
<p>The reality star posted a series of photos claiming that Chyna had weight loss surgery after giving birth and also shared the explicit video.</p>

<p>Chyna responded on Snapchat with allegations of abuse. She said, "Rob [you] did all this but [you] beat me up and try act [like] it never happen[ed]!!!!!"</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477105-Rob-Kardashian-Twitter.png" alt="" width="620" height="398" />After Instagram disabled Kardashian's account, he moved to Twitter to repost the video and photos, which were removed shortly after.</p>
<p>Temporary restraining orders and legal battles over child support payments ensued. After a series of hearings, the exes agreed to joint custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Dream, in 2019.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Jay-Z vs Solange Knowles</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wUKEbMDIR08" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>A video surfaced of singer Solange Knowles as she punched and grabbed her brother-in-law Jay-Z in an elevator at New York's Standard Hotel after the 2014 Met Gala.</p>
<p>In the surveillance video posted by TMZ, viewers can see a bodyguard pull her off of the rapper, however, Solange continued to yell and hit Jay-Z.</p>
<p>The family then issued a statement to the Associated Press.</p>
<p>"Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family," the statement said.</p>
<p>The fight was rumored to be over Jay-Z&rsquo;s infidelity in his marriage with Beyonc&eacute;, and the fight was a case of sister Solange being protective.</p>
<p>Beyonc&eacute; was in the elevator at the time of the incident but did not engage in the fight. However, she addressed it in her song "Flawless."</p>
<p>"Of course, sometimes s--- go down when there's $1 billion in the elevator," rapped Beyoce, referring to the accumulated net worth of herself, her husband and her sister.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Justin Bieber vs. Orlando Bloom</strong></span></p>
<p>Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber have a long and even violent history that revolves around Blooms ex-wife, model Miranda Kerr.</p>
<p>It is believed that Justin Bieber made a comment to Bloom at a nightclub that somehow alleged that he and Kerr had been intimate during her marriage to Bloom.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, things spiraled downward from there and ended with many blows being thrown, although none landed.</p>
<p>Justin Bieber continued to throw blows on Twitter after the physical confrontation had ended by posting an image of Miranda Kerr and shortly after, another image of Orlando Bloom apparently visibly emotional over the exchange.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sylvester Stallone vs. Richard Gere</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477403-sylvester_stallone_richard_gere.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="413" />Sylvester Stallone and Richard Gere were set to star together in the 1974 film "The Lords of Flatbush" until the two didn't get along on the film's set. Gere's role would later be re-cast.</p>
<p>"We never hit it off," Sylvester said in 2006. "He would strut around in his oversized motorcycle jacket like he was the baddest knight at the round table."</p>
<p>The two actors apparently also got into a physical fight over spilled chicken grease.</p>
<p>"I was eating a hot dog and [Richard] climbs in with a half a chicken covered in mustard with grease nearly dripping out of the aluminum wrapper," Sylvester said in the same interview. "I said, 'That thing is going to drip all over the place.' He said, 'Don't worry about it.' I said, 'If it gets on my pants, you're gonna know about it.' He proceeds to bite into the chicken and a small, greasy river of mustard lands on my thigh. I elbowed him in the side of the head and basically pushed him out of the car."</p>
<p>Elton John would later reveal that the whole feud started when the two got into competition over wooing the then single Princess Diana at one of Elton's parties. The two came to blows and were asked to leave.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Martha Stewart vs. Gwyneth Paltrow</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/72N3Oy_9jjk" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The lifestyle scene is a brutal one. When Paltrow entered the industry, Stewart has some choice words for the actress. Martha Stewart slammed Gwyneth Paltrow for starting her own lifestyle business, Goop.</p>
<p>"She's a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn't be trying to be Martha Stewart," she told Porter magazine.</p>
<p>The drama didn't seem to slow down when Stewart posted a pie recipe called "conscious coupling," which was featured in Martha Stewart's Living Magazine shortly after Paltrow filed for divorce from Chris Martin, calling the break a "conscious uncoupling." A month later, Paltrow posted a similar recipe for "jailbird cake," presumably mocking Stewart's time spent in prison back in 2004 for fraud charges.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477282-28ROSIETRUMP-diptych-jumbo.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="414" />Before Trump was President and ranting about China, he was a media mogul who often ranted about Rosie O&rsquo;Donnell. During the Miss USA controversy in 2006, Donald Trump allowed winner Tara Conner to keep her Miss USA crown as long as she went to rehab for her drug and alcohol problems. Rosie O'Donnell criticized the decision and called Trump a "snake-oil salesman."</p>
<p>The current President of the United States then fired back in an interview with People magazine: "Rosie's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie."</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NP7Lixcc_jQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Their feud has definitely not settled, since the two have gone at each other through social media over the years. O'Donnell was also a vocal opponent of Trump during the 2016 election and has continued to oppose him since.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Bette Davis vs. Joan Crawford</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EZicyCZ70P8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The most legendary old Hollywood feud in history, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford! Their feud reportedly started in 1935 over a man, when Davis fell in love with actor Franchot Tone on the set of the movie "Dangerous." According to the New York Post, the newly divorced Crawford was quick to tie Tone down and ended up marrying him.</p>
<p>The feud escalated when the two worked together on the set of their 1962 movie, "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Davis was nominated for an Oscar for the role, but Crawford allegedly campaigned against her and even eventually went onstage to accept the award on behalf of the winning actress Anne Bancroft.</p>
<p>Their feud was the center for the FX show "Feud."</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Katy Perry vs. Taylor Swift</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477181-KATY_VS_TATY_1280.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="349" />Katy Perry and Taylor Swift started off as best friends when they both came into the spotlight in the late 2000s. Fans thought their feud was sparked after Perry started dating Swift's ex-boyfriend John Mayer in 2012. But they actually had a falling out over business.</p>
<p>"She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational &mdash; you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now, I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it." Swift told Rolling Stone.</p>
<p>Swift got back at Perry by releasing the song "Bad Blood" in 2014 and the music video that followed in 2015.</p>
<p>Perry took the high road in responding to Swift, telling Entertainment Weekly that when "women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place."</p>
<p>But then with her release of "Swish, Swish," Perry's song was seen as a diss track in reference to Swift.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The two have officially buried the hatchet when Perry appeared on Swift&rsquo;s &ldquo;Just Calm Down,&rdquo; making everyone wonder if it was just an elaborate promotion for the two artists.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Naomi Campbell vs. Tyra Banks</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477219-look-book-supermodel-feuds-01.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="414" />Back in the early '90s, Tyra Banks admits she was initially pitted against supermodel Naomi Campbell when she first started in the modeling industry.</p>
<p>"The industry was saying, 'Look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell sit your butt down, this younger one is coming to take your place.'"</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qBtmzujoAZg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Banks claimed to E! that Campbell did bully her, supposedly saying nasty things to her during runway shows and having her fired from jobs. Although Campbell couldn't remember those times when Banks asked her about them during an interview on Banks' show, they have worked out their differences since then.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>2Pac vs. Notorious B.I.G</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1587477257-download_6.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="347" />The two rappers, one from the East coast rap scene, and the other from the West coast rap scene initially were great friends. The two referenced each other, took tips from one another, and spent time at each other&rsquo;s houses.</p>
<p>However, after 2Pac fell in with a group of Haitian drug dealers, he started to talk a bigger game than he had previously done. Biggie was accused of trying to have 2Pac murdered as he came in to record a song with B.I.G and Puffy.</p>
<p>The feud devolved into a major war, with guns, as the two escalated violence against each other&rsquo;s crews. Eventually both were dead, as a result of inter-coastal rivalry that still defines the US rap scene today.</p>
