<p>Believe it or not, it&rsquo;s already been a year since megastar Taylor Swift released her album &ldquo;Folklore&rdquo; and to celebrate the singer decided to share a treat with her fans.</p>
<p>The singer first took to social media where she shared a note about the album, as well as thanking her fans for making the album a success, alongside pictures of Swift on a beach somewhere.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been one year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall tall trees and salt air. Where you&rsquo;re allowed to wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost every day &amp; no one will side-eye you cause no one is around,&rdquo; captioned Swift.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just you and your imaginary cabin and the stories you make up to pass the time. To say thank you for all you have done to make this album what it was, I wanted to give you the original version of The Lakes. Happy 1 year anniversary to Rebekah, Betty, Inez, James, Augustine, and the lives we all created around them. Happy Anniversary, folklore,&rdquo; she continued.</p>

<p>The comments section was restricted but fans flocked to like the post reaching over 2.2 million likes in less than a day, but the singer didn&rsquo;t stop there as she also shared a music video for her original rendition of the song &ldquo;The Lakes&rdquo; which had a rather more orchestral vibe than the one we got in the album.</p>
<p>The song was able to bring in over half a million views in less than 24 hours and even trended on YouTube, reaching the number 14 spot at the time of writing this article.</p>

<p>Swift&rsquo;s acclaimed eighth studio album was released on July 24, 2020, and was a surprise to everybody, as no one was expecting anything from the singer at the time, but at the same time it offered a different side from the singer with songs like &ldquo;Cardigan&rdquo;, &ldquo;Exile&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Betty&rdquo;.</p>
<p>Swift would later drop another surprise release in December 2020 with the album &ldquo;Evermore&rdquo; which was also both a critical and commercial success.</p>

<p>Singer The Weeknd has been working hard on his upcoming album, which he decided to tease his fans with all over social media.</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Blinding Lights&rdquo; singer took to Twitter, as he dropped one post after another telling his fans that he&rsquo;s working on his new album, that he's offering it some love and care, it is a full body of work not just a single, and that he&rsquo;s really proud of it too.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, we didn&rsquo;t get more information beyond that, as we still don&rsquo;t know what the album&rsquo;s name is and when it&rsquo;s coming out, but according to the tweets, things are looking good, and the work is going smoothly.</p>
<p>Before the singer started dropping his teases on his Twitter account, he&rsquo;d been sharing some news about his Emmy nominations that were announced last night, which include &ldquo;Outstanding Variety Special&rdquo;, &ldquo;Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction For A Variety Special&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control For A Special&rdquo;, becoming one of the few male singers to be nominated for an Emmy for their Super Bowl halftime performances joining Bruno Mars, Prince, and Bruce Springsteen.</p>

The Weeknd teases his fans with updates for his upcoming album.

The Weeknd Teases New Album As He Celebrates Emmy Nominations

<p>Singer Halsey has been giving her fans information about her upcoming album a little piece at a time and now she teased a concept film that will work in tandem with that new album.</p>
<p>Titled the same as the new album &ldquo;If I Can&rsquo;t Have Love, I Want Power&rdquo;, the new film will be one hour long and will be shown to audiences in select theaters worldwide; it's also set to play tracks from the album while showing the accompanying visuals.</p>
<p>The singer made the announcement by dropping a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM7luZ-00RI&amp;ab_channel=Halsey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trailer</a> for the film, which is interesting, to say the least, as it follows some kind of story in a medieval setting, where Halsey stars as the main character, who goes through pregnancy and giving birth, before becoming a queen and sitting on a throne.</p>
<p>The whole thing is a bit unsettling and confusing, still intriguing enough to warrant some interest, especially from her fans.</p>
<p>&ldquo;[The film] is about the lifelong social labyrinth of sexuality and birth. The greatest horror stories never told were buried with the bodies of those who died in that labyrinth&hellip;&rdquo; reads the title card before the trailer begins. The movie is set to release on August 3.</p>
<p>The singer revealed the title of the album last June where she teased fans with a snippet of a yet-to-be-released song from the album as well as revealed that it was produced by Oscar-winning musicians and Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power<br /><br />The FOURTH album by Halsey<br /><br />Produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross <a href="https://t.co/BbUx2htDkY">pic.twitter.com/BbUx2htDkY</a></p>
&mdash; h (@halsey) <a href="https://twitter.com/halsey/status/1409545433282584577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2021</a></blockquote>
<p>The last time we heard something from Halsey was last year&rsquo;s &ldquo;Manic&rdquo;, which she released in January, dropping three singles at the time including &ldquo;Without Me&rdquo;, &ldquo;Graveyard&rdquo;, and &ldquo;You Should Be Sad&rdquo;. The album was overall successful debuting at the number two spot on the Billboard 200 chart.</p>
<p>Halsey would group an EP the same year titled &ldquo;Collabs&rdquo; which had most of the songs that she collaborated with other artists on, including Marshmello, Juice Wrld, and others, that EP was followed by &ldquo;Badlands (Live from Webster Hall)&rdquo; which was the artist&rsquo;s first live album to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the release of her debut studio album &ldquo;Badlands&rdquo; which was released back in 2015.</p>

Halsey drops a trailer for the upcoming film  "If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power" to accompany her new album.

<p>Singer Ed Sheeran is known for his Pop music, writing hits not just for himself but for several artists as well, and in a recent interview, he revealed he&rsquo;s open to writing metal music.</p>
<p>You might be scratching your head about the whole situation, but according to the interview Sheeran grew up listening to some dark stuff including bands like Cradle of Filth and Slipknot, going as far as learning some of their guitar riffs as a kid, and while yes, he is open to writing or creating something from that world, he never thought about doing it.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I listened to Cradle Of Filth and Slipknot and all that stuff, I&rsquo;m not saying I could ever step into that world. I learnt all those riffs on guitar as a kid. That&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;ve never thought about doing &mdash; but something I would not be opposed to creating,&rdquo; said Sheeran told The Sun in an interview.</p>
<p>Sheeran&rsquo;s comments didn&rsquo;t go unnoticed, as Cradle of Filth&rsquo;s lead singer Dani Filth took to social media to call out the &ldquo;Shape of You&rdquo; singer, stating that he will believe him when an album materializes and welcomes the singer to take his steps into the metal genre.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll believe it when I see it. Fellow Suffolk lad could come good in the end. &lsquo;Dracula&rsquo;s Castle On The Hill&rsquo; anyone?&rdquo; wrote Filth on his Instagram.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s not a stretch to imagine Sheeran doing something in that vein in the future, as we've seen it happen before with the most recent example being rapper Machine Gun Kelly who moved away from rapping heading into the Rock and Punk world, earning an award in the process beating legendary band ACDC in the process.</p>

<p>Rapper Diddy has been out of the music scene for some time now, however, all that changed last night when the singer took to social media to announce he&rsquo;s coming back and it appears that he&rsquo;s stepping up his game.</p>
<p>First posting on Twitter, before heading on to Instagram, the rapper simply posted a few words stating that he&rsquo;s &ldquo;making a classic&rdquo; without mentioning any more details, sending his fans into an understandable frenzy, especially after considering that the rapper didn&rsquo;t release new music in six years.</p>

<p>The last time we heard anything from the rapper was back in 2015 when he released &ldquo;MMM&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Money Making Mitch&rdquo; which was a mixtape that featured a bunch of artists including&nbsp; Future, Big Sean, French Montana, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Kim and more.</p>
<p>A year later Diddy stated that he would release another album which he called his last titled &ldquo;No Way Out 2&rdquo; which was going to be a follow-up to his debut album which was released back in 1997, however, that album never materialized.</p>
<p>Diddy, also announced at the time, that he was going to retire from the music business after his last album to focus on acting.</p>
<p>No details about the new project have been revealed, so at this moment everything is just assumptions as it could be just a single, or a full album, or even a movie, we&rsquo;ll have to wait and see.</p>

Diddy teases fans that he's coming out with something soon, his first project since 2015.

<p>Earlier this year it was announced that DC and Warner Bros. are working on a new &ldquo;Superman&rdquo; reboot, and while it was circulating that director J.J. Abrams was considering &ldquo;Creed&rdquo; actor Michael B. Jordan for the main role, it&rsquo;s been revealed that the actor is working on a new project of his own.</p>
<p>According to IGN and Collider, Jordan and his production company Outlier Society are working on a new series for HBO Max, but it&rsquo;s in early development and will focus on Val-Zod, a Black Kryptonian who holds the mantle of Superman.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What did the sources say?</strong></span></p>
<p>Sources who are close to the project told Collider that &ldquo;Outlier Society has hired a writer who is currently working on the script, though we were unable to ascertain their identity.&rdquo;</p>
<p>They also stated that the project is being written as a limited series for now, but it hasn&rsquo;t been confirmed yet as the whole project is in early development.</p>
<p>The Collider sources also claimed that Jordan will definitely produce the new project and there&rsquo;s a chance that he will possibly star in it as well but the actor has yet to commit to the role.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/uJGeIdDvc_o" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Who will Jordan possibly play?</strong></span></p>
<p>If the project goes through and Jordan decides to star, he will be playing the role of Val-Zod a Black Kryptonian who is sent to Earth 2 (an alternate universe than the one Clark Kent&rsquo;s Superman is in) after his parents are killed.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Is this the same project as the reboot that is in the works?</strong></span></p>
<p>According to IGN, the new &ldquo;Superman&rdquo; reboot is being produced by J.J. Abrams has nothing to do with Jordan&rsquo;s project and is still in development.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8U8jRoG28Vo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>What about Henry Cavil?</strong></span></p>
<p>While Henry Cavil did, in fact, play the son of Krypton in the &ldquo;Man of Steel&rdquo;, &ldquo;Justice League&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Batman V Superman&rdquo;, we don&rsquo;t know if we&rsquo;ll ever see him sporting the cape again, as DC is currently working on several projects related to same characters which is making things a bit confusing.</p>
<p>But what we do know is that &ldquo;The Batman&rdquo; is coming out next year, and the new James Gunn directed &ldquo;Suicide Squad&rdquo; is coming out next month, and we can&rsquo;t wait to watch them.</p>

<p>Back in October 2020, we reported that the 1990s slasher film &ldquo;I Know What You Did Last Summer&rdquo; was getting turned into a TV series, but while things were quiet on when the show was going to come out, we now know when it&rsquo;s releasing and it&rsquo;s really soon too.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When is it coming out?</strong></span></p>
<p>The announcement came during a Comic-Con panel where it was revealed that the show is going to be coming out this October and will be a reimagining of the 1973 novel set in the modern-day, and will not be a reboot or sequel of the original movies.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I mean, what else is there but the title? Even if you&rsquo;ve never read the novel or seen the movie, the title just sticks with everyone. It gives you that pit-in-your-stomach fear, because I think, on some level, everyone has done something that they don&rsquo;t want other people to know about,&rdquo; said showrunner Sara Goodman.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Who is in it?</strong></span></p>
<p>Set to star are relative unknowns who made the odd cameo in other shows, alongside a couple of newcomers including Madison Iseman (Jumanji), Brianne Tju (47 Meters Down: Uncaged), Ezekiel Goodman, Ashley Moore (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping), Sebastian Amoruso (Solve), Fiona Rene (Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy), Cassie Beck (Elementry), Brooke Bloom (The Sinner0, and Bill Heck (Locke &amp; Key), with&nbsp; Sonya Balmores (Inhumans) and singer Spencer Sutherland are set to recur.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yiAlcLlJpQE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What was the original movie about?</strong></span></p>
<p>The original film was based on the novel by Lois Duncan which featured a group of teens who get into a fatal car accident while partying on their graduation day, but after they get rid of the body, they get hunted down by an unknown assailant killing them one by one. It starred Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Freddie Prinze Jr.</p>
<p>The movie was so successful that it spawned a sequel "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" which saw the return of the surviving members. A third film in the franchise was also made in 2006 but starred a whole new cast of actors and was a flop both with critics and in the box office.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actor Mena Massoud is rumored to have been cast as Ezra Bridger in the upcoming &ldquo;Star Wars&rdquo; spinoff series &ldquo;Ahsoka&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The news comes from LRM Online, who stated that the Egyptian-Canadian actor has been cast to play Ezra Bridger, who is one of the main characters from the animated series &ldquo;Star Wars: Rebels&rdquo;, in the upcoming live-action spinoff series &ldquo;Ahsoka&rdquo; who is another main character from the animated show and one who made an appearance in the successful Disney+ series &ldquo;The Mandalorian&rdquo;.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/FtNmGb-2oUY" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The actor is fueling the rumor flames too!</strong></span></p>
<p>It also helps that the actor shared a photo on his Instagram account back in March of this year which he captioned with &ldquo;Hey, just so you know when I escape I won't hurt any of you,&rdquo; which is a line Bridger says in the show adding fuel to the rumor flames.</p>
<p>But then again, we can take it with a grain of salt as it could be an attempt by the actor to get the attention of execs who are working on the project to consider him for the role.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Fans have been wanting this for a while</strong></span></p>
<p>Fans shouldn&rsquo;t be surprised about the news (if it&rsquo;s true that is) as Massoud has been a fan favorite to play the role for some time.</p>
<p>Massoud rose to prominence when he played the leading role in the live-action remake of Disney&rsquo;s &ldquo;Aladdin&rdquo;, after which he got a little disappointed since roles were slow to come his way until it was revealed that he will be reprising his role in a live-action &ldquo;Aladdin&rdquo; sequel that is in the works.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/foyufD52aog" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>LRM Online also announced that Lars Mikkelsen has also been cast to play the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn, another fan-favorite casting since the actor also does the voice for the character in the same animated series.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Ahsoka made her appearance first</strong></span></p>
<p>Fans got a glimpse of that world during an episode in &ldquo;The Mandalorian&rsquo;s&rdquo; second season titled "The Jedi" where the character of Ahsoka played by Rosario Dawson made a cameo helping the bounty hunter, revealing that she is on the hunt for Thrawn.</p>
<p>Her appearance was a hit with fans who gave Disney the push they needed to announce that Ahsoka was getting her own spinoff series that will follow her adventures and hunt, which will definitely include Bridger.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we still don&rsquo;t have an exact date on when the new series will come out only, that it will release some time next year.</p>

<p>As episodes of the new season of &ldquo;Rick &amp; Morty&rdquo; traumatize fans with each new story, it was revealed that Marvel&rsquo;s Captain America himself, Chris Evans, was going to be in it, unfortunately, it didn&rsquo;t go happen.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Rick and Morty&rdquo; producer Scott Marder was the one to reveal the news in an interview, where he explained that Evans, who is already a huge fan of the show, was in talks to do a cameo and play a new character on the animated series, but things fell through.</p>
<p>The producer also revealed that he&rsquo;s been a fan of comics from a young age, so all of the Marvel stars are on his radar as potential guests on the show.</p>
<p>"We&rsquo;ve danced around that. There was a character that was up for grabs for him this season, but I can&rsquo;t remember who that ended up going to. He&rsquo;s definitely on our radar&hellip; I&rsquo;m a big comic book nerd from back in the day, so like all the Marvel dudes are very much on my radar," the producer explained.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ozWUgt5ErGA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>When asked about how do they usually bring in new talent to do cameos or characters, Marder explained that most of the people who are chosen are huge fans of the show, and sometimes the casting department is the ones that pick good ones to do the characters.</p>
<p>"Most of them are [fans]. Sometimes we hear people are just fans. Other times, we&rsquo;ve got a great casting department, and a lot of times they&rsquo;re just on the ball and offering up the perfect people for those roles. It&rsquo;s normally pretty organic. Thankfully, this show is so huge that it&rsquo;s normally pretty quick to get an answer from people... on stuff which makes our lives easier," Marder told Comicbook.</p>
<p>Evans professed his love for the show on social media before, as back in 2019, the actor posted on Twitter calling the show both awesome and original.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check it out below:</strong></span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">There isn't another show on television like <a href="https://twitter.com/RickandMorty?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RickandMorty</a>. It's a true original. And it's awesome.</p>
&mdash; Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/1136017779545595906?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 4, 2019</a></blockquote>
<p>The show follows the titled genius Rick who takes his grandson Morty on insane adventures all over different planets and dimensions causing all kinds of chaos referencing everything from pop culture to current events while they do it.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s hilarious to see, and we wonder who Evans would have played on this season of the show, hopefully, he&rsquo;ll work his way back and do another character in the future. It would be awesome to see him do a character spoofing Captain America!</p>

<p>The International Olympic Committee released a statement where they revealed that one of the most fundamental parts of the opening ceremony, the &ldquo;Olympic Oath&rdquo; words have been changed for the upcoming games to be more inclusive, non-discriminatory &amp; offer more equality.</p>
<p>Not only will the words of the actual oath be changed but the number of people reciting it as well, because the IOC have decided to increase the number of people reciting the oath from three to six, comprised of two athletes, two judges, and two coaches, with a diverse set of genders and ethnicities.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The new wording of the Olympic oath results from a set of recommendations drawn up by the IOC Athletes&rsquo; Commission on Rule 50.2 and athlete expression in order to increase opportunities for athlete expression during the Olympic Games. These recommendations were approved by the IOC Executive Board back in April 2021,&rdquo; wrote the IOC in their statement.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The New Oath Reads:</strong></span>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We promise to take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules and in the spirit of fair play, inclusion, and equality. Together we stand in solidarity and commit ourselves to sport without doping, without cheating, without any form of discrimination. We do this for the honor of our teams, in respect for the Fundamental Principles of Olympism, and to make the world a better place through sport."</p>

<figcaption>During the London Olympic games. The older form of the Olympic Oath, where a judge, an athlete and a coach performed the oath.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>&ldquo;We Olympians are role models and ambassadors. We stand together to send out to the world a powerful message of equality, inclusion, solidarity, peace, and respect. The Olympic oath-takers selected for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 will be fully gender-equal and will take the Olympic oath on behalf of all the Olympians, judges, coaches, and officials, who they represent, in the true spirit of solidarity,&rdquo; said IOC Athletes&rsquo; Commission Chair Kirsty Coventry.</p>
<p>The Olympic oath dates back to the Olympic Games Antwerp 1920 with the original text written by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, and read&nbsp; &ldquo;We swear.

<p>There&rsquo;s a company in Norway that is working on what many are calling a doomsday vault that will house and preserve a huge variety of the world&rsquo;s most important works of music for years to come.</p>
<p>Dubbed &ldquo;Project ARV&rdquo; or The Global Music Vault, the main goal is to ask &ldquo;the global music world to unite in safeguarding the most important living musical expressions to be celebrated and become our future cultural legacy.&rdquo;</p>
<p>According to NME and the company behind the vault, the music that will be entered within the vault will come from all over the world, and will not focus on a specific country or genre, but rather a global initiative gathering a wide array of options.</p>

</figure>
<p>&ldquo;We don&rsquo;t want to just protect a certain genre and certain era,&rdquo; commented Luke Jenkinson, managing director of the Global Music Vault.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re asking yourself &ldquo;where is this vault going to be?&rdquo;, the company states that it will be set &ldquo;deep inside an arctic mountain in far north Norway, on the Svalbard archipelago&rdquo; which has been declared a demilitarized zone by 42 nations.</p>
<p>The location was chosen for its safety, security, and remoteness which made it perfect to contain such valuable information, the company added that the cool and dry permafrost conditions increase the longevity of the stored data.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Got7KxjCZQ0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The location is also said to be able to withstand natural and man-made disasters with NME stating that it can survive electromagnetic pulses from a nuclear explosion that would normally destroy and damage electronic devices in normal conditions.</p>
<p>NME also stated that a global committee will work with various business groups to select the &ldquo;most precious and loved&rdquo; music from all over the world, with the public choosing what to be added into the submissions.</p>
<p>The company hopes to have the vault completed in early 2022.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Muja&rdquo; the Alligator in Belgrade Zoo is the oldest alligator in captivity in the world, and this year the amazing animal is reaching the ripe old age of 85.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not known exactly when Muja was born but the creature was transferred to the zoo in 1937 already an adult so that means that the alligator is likely older than 85 but unfortunately, we don't have the exact number.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Muja is a survivor</strong></span></p>
<p>Muja is one lucky alligator as it almost died two times during WWII when the city was bombed twice with the zoo being almost completely destroyed, thankfully the creature was not harmed; similarly, there was also the NATO bombing of the area in the 1990s but Muja was also able to survive.</p>
<p>The alligator also had a brush with death back in 2012 when one of its legs contracted gangrene which then needed to get amputated, however, besides that the animal has been alive and well, with food brought to it as because of its age it can&rsquo;t hunt anymore.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/DZnCk_Ho6OI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>It entered the Guinness World Records on May 22, 2018, at the age of 80 when it became the oldest living alligator when the holder of the record at the time passed away.</p>
<p>The average lifespan of an American alligator, of which Muja is a member, is from 30 to 50 years, so the animal is already surpassing at an impressive range.</p>
<p>We&rsquo;re not sure if the alligator will surpass the age of a hundred but there&rsquo;s a Nile crocodile named Henry that is already older, still surviving at the tender age of 120 at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in South Africa.</p>

Muja the oldest alligator in the world is becoming 85 this year!

<p>1/4 cup of sugar</p>
<p>2 large eggs</p>
<p>1 tablespoon of active dry yeast</p>
<p><strong>Apple filling ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>8 tablespoons of unsalted butter (1/2 cup)</p>
<p>1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract</p>
<p>4 cups of peeled and grated apples&nbsp;</p>
<p>2 teaspoon of cinnamon</p>
<p>1/3 cup sugar</p>
<p><strong>Glaze ingredients:</strong></p>
<p>3 tablespoon of unsalted butter, cubed</p>
<p>1/4 cup of brown sugar</p>
<p>1/4 teaspoon of heavy whipping cream</p>
<p>1/3 cup of powdered sugar</p>
<p><strong>Method for the apple bread:</strong></p>
<p>Cover two bread pans with parchment paper, butter sides or you can spray with baking spray, meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 C.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a small saucepan, add butter, milk, water, and sugar. stirring frequently as you do, then cook until the milk becomes warm and butter melts. (note: if the milk gets too hot, let it cool until just warm to touch)</p>
<p>Sprinkle yeast over the warm milk and stir, then cover the bowl and allow the yeast to activate and become foamy which will take about five minutes, after that is done stir in 2 beaten eggs.</p>
<p>Add flour to a large mixing bowl, form a well in the center, and add the warm milk mixture.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fold in the flour until the dough is soft, and no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. (note: add additional one tablespoon of flour at a time as needed until dough no longer sticks to the bowl) then cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about an hour at room temperature.</p>
<p>Transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface. lightly sprinkle top with flour and use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle (about 18&rdquo;x20&rdquo;)</p>
<p>In a small bowl, use a fork to combine butter and vanilla, then spread the butter evenly over the rolled dough, after that spread the grated or diced apples evenly over the top. combine the cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle evenly over the dough.</p>
<p>Cut dough into 5 long uniform strips, then cut the strips into squares. You&rsquo;ll need to stack the dough and transfer it to bread pans dividing the dough between the two pans, loosely stacking the squares on their sides.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cover pans with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rise 30 minutes, then bake uncovered at 180 C for 25 to 30 minutes until bread is golden in color.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Allow bread to cool completely before applying the glaze.</p>
<p><strong>Method for the glaze:</strong></p>
<p>In a saucepan, on medium/high heat, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla then bring the mix to a light boil, after that add heavy whipping cream, stir to combine, and finally, remove from heat. Set aside to cool; once the glaze is cooled, add the powdered sugar.&nbsp;</p>
<p>set glaze aside to thicken then drizzle or spread over the cooled apple bread.</p>
<p>(note: this makes about 2 apple bread loaves)</p>

<p>While fans of the &ldquo;RoboCop&rdquo; franchise and movies have been asking for years to see the character brought to the video gaming world, it looks like it&rsquo;s finally happening but it will take some time to see it.</p>
<p>Revealed during Nacon Connect 2021, a teaser trailer dropped for &ldquo;RoboCop: Rogue City&rdquo;, that showed off the title, some buildings of Chicago, the release date, and the famous protagonist&rsquo;s hip as the gun flips out.</p>
<p>While it doesn&rsquo;t give us much to work with, IGN revealed that the game is supposed to be a first-person action-adventure game based on the 1987 RoboCop franchise and the first three films.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Check out the trailer below:</strong></span></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/j2TL1TgJUfk" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Does that mean that we&rsquo;ll get to experience the main character&rsquo;s tragic origin story yet again, as he transitions from officer Alex Murphey to the famed RoboCop after a painful event? We don&rsquo;t know but it seems so.</p>
<p>"We&rsquo;re very much looking forward to collaborating with Nacon and Teyon to bring one of MGM&rsquo;s most timeless IPs back to gaming platforms with a brand-new story," MGM vice president of global consumer products and experiences Robert Marick said.</p>
<p>"The film is known for gripping action and complex storytelling, and we are excited for RoboCop fans to experience this first hand through the game," he continued.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for those waiting on the game, they&rsquo;ll have to wait a bit more as the game is expected to release some time in 2023, and of course that is also subject to change.</p>
<p>The last time we saw RoboCop in a video game is when he was introduced as a playable character in &ldquo;Mortal Kombat 11&rdquo;.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/VEUrIoCHMew?start=126&quot; title=&quot;YouTube video player&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allow=&quot;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>

RoboCop is getting his own game titled "RoboCop: Rogue City" in 2023.

“RoboCop” Is Getting His Very Own Videogame… In 2023

<p>&ldquo;Call of Duty: Warzone&rdquo; is enjoyed by millions from around the world, and as more and more characters get introduced, it was a matter of time before Arab characters get in the mix, and while we've seen many from fictional countries this time we got a playable Egyptian character who's on the good side rather than affiliated to the stereotypical bad-guy role; he&rsquo;s named Salah too!</p>
<p>Salah is going to be part of the fourth season of the massive online shooter as well as the multiplayer part of &ldquo;Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War&rdquo; so fans will be able to enjoy the character on both platforms.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1623872729-E38oovlWUAA1L_L.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="348" />What do we know about the character?</strong></span></p>
<p>We actually know a bunch of information about the character, he was born 16-8-1957, he speaks Arabic, he is in the Egyptian Special Forces Unit-777, which is helping NATO fight against a group of terrorists called "The Jackals" in the game.</p>
<p>According to the game&rsquo;s file for him, he&rsquo;s also a morale booster for his team, and famous for his positive attitude, helping his fellow soldiers both on and off the field, he&rsquo;s also idealistic, and enthusiastic too.</p>
<p>In the press release photo, you can see that the character is wearing three patches written on them in Arabic, the first is near his heart with the words &ldquo;mohareb&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;warrior&rdquo;, the second is on his chest with a logo of a lion on top of a skull with the words &ldquo;Al-walaa&rsquo; Lilwatan&rdquo; which translates to &ldquo;My loyalty is to my country&rdquo;, and finally the third is on the left side of his torso which features a skull with wings and the words &ldquo;Qatel al-a&rsquo;adaa&rsquo;&rdquo; which is Arabic for &ldquo;Enemy killer&rdquo;.</p>
<figure class="image"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1623872185-cod_salah_-_Copy.png" alt="" width="620" height="494" />
<figcaption>Visible patches</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>&ldquo;A member of the CIA-led squadron that infiltrated the Algerian satellite crash site, Salah has a wealth of combat and negotiation skills that make him an invaluable member of NATO&rsquo;s finest,&rdquo; reads the official press release about the character.</p>
<p>&ldquo;A member of Egypt&rsquo;s elite Unit 777, Salah is a Counterterrorism and Hostage Rescue expert. Always positive and quick to see the best in people, he will always have your back,&rdquo; it continues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The character will be released amongst the bundle offerings in the game and can be seen in one along with a Komodo dragon, but we still don&rsquo;t know how that will come into play.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/iaMNDKmZ0UM" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>This isn't the first time we've seen Egypt in the "Call of Duty" games as there was that one time where players fought alongside the Egyptian military in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" and while yes, there was Azur in the "Warzone" platform he was again put in with the fictional terrorist group "The Jackals".</p>

<p>The popular social media platform, Twitter, added a new language option &ldquo;Arabic (Feminine)&rdquo; for those who want to use the feminine grammar of the language on the platform as part of its inclusion and diversity drive.</p>
<p>Twitter made the announcement on their official blog in which they explained that there are several languages over the world including Arabic, that has both a masculine and a feminine format for its grammar so it would be only natural to provide the two options to accommodate users and be more inclusive.</p>
<p>&ldquo;People across the world come to Twitter to discuss what&rsquo;s happening, and we want our service to better reflect the many voices that shape the conversation. In some languages, such as Arabic, words can be feminine or masculine, but we&rsquo;ve missed a way for people to tell us how they want to be addressed. So today, we're introducing a new language setting that acknowledges and better supports the Arabic feminine form,&rdquo; wrote Twitter.</p>
<p>So words like Tweet and Explore would be &ldquo;غرّدي&ldquo; aka &ldquo;Gharidi&rdquo; instead of the masculine &ldquo;غرّد&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Gharid&rdquo; and &ldquo;إستكشفي&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Estakshifi&rdquo; instead of &ldquo;إستكشف&rdquo; aka &ldquo;Estakshif&rdquo;, and so on.</p>

<p>If you&rsquo;re interested in changing the language on your phone or computer, log in on Twitter, then go to &ldquo;Settings and privacy,&rdquo; then &ldquo;Accessibility, display, and languages.&rdquo; Next, select &ldquo;Languages&rdquo;, go to &ldquo;Display language&rdquo;, and finally select&nbsp; &ldquo;Arabic (feminine)&rdquo;.</p>
<p>The post was received with mixed reactions from users, while there were trolls who posted toxic messages, the rest were messages of support for female empowerment, equality, and representation over in tech and social media.</p>

Twitter adds "Arabic (Feminine)" in its language options for diversity and inclusion.

<p>If you&rsquo;ve been having a problem accessing some of the most popular websites in the world you&rsquo;re not alone, as a global outage struck several of them early this morning.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Who got affected?</strong></span></p>
<p>Websites including Reddit, Spotify, Twitch, Stack Overflow, GitHub, gov.uk, Hulu, HBO Max, Quora, PayPal, Vimeo, Shopify, Stripe, CNN, The Guardian, The New York Times, BBC, and Financial Times have all been having issues, as well as Amazon but the eCommerce website was able to reactivate quickly.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What's wrong?</strong></span></p>
<p>According to several publications including Reuters and TechCrunch, the issue arose from a glitch happening at Fastly which is a Content delivery network (CDN) provider to many well-known websites; the problem was also confirmed by The Financial Times product manager, Matt Taylor.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Fastly, the CDN provider, is having a massive outage, resulting in Twitch, Pinterest, Reddit, The Guardian, and the FT returning 503 errors,&rdquo; wrote Taylor.</p>

<p>The long-awaited &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; sequel will unfortunately not be coming out this year, but for a couple of good reasons.</p>
<p>During a Q&amp;A session with Herman Hulst, Head of PlayStation Studios, it was revealed that the company is focusing on two upcoming narrative-driven games &ldquo;Horizon Forbidden West&rdquo; and the yet to be titled &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; &ldquo;sequel, but while Hulst explained that &ldquo;Horizon&rdquo; was still on track to release during this year&rsquo;s holiday season, the &ldquo;God Of War&rdquo; sequel will be released "a little later", which puts it in 2022.</p>
<p>"So we have, currently, two very big, very narrative-driven games in development: Horizon Forbidden West and the next God of War. And for both of those, they&rsquo;re frankly affected by access to performance capture and talent," Hulst said in the Q&amp;A.</p>
<p>"For Horizon, we think we are on track to release this holiday season. But that isn&rsquo;t quite certain yet, and we&rsquo;re working as hard as we can to confirm that to you as soon as we can,&rdquo; he continued.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WpgXz5Z9v-U" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Why was it delayed?</strong></span></p>
<p>The reasoning behind the delay is so that Sony can give Santa Monica Studio (the studio developing the game) enough time to make sure they come out with a game that will offer an amazing experience and to be certain the game would come out completely without issues for both PS4 and PS5.</p>
<p>"And for God of War, the project started a little later. So we&rsquo;ve made the decision to push that game out to next year, to ensure that Santa Monica Studio can deliver the amazing God of War game that we all want to play. With these things, something&rsquo;s gotta give. It cannot be the quality of our titles, and it surely won&rsquo;t be the health or the wellbeing of our amazing team," Hulst explained.</p>
<p>"You can&rsquo;t build a community of over 110 million PS4 owners and then just walk away from it, right? I think that&rsquo;d be bad news for fans of PS4, and frankly not very good business," Hulst said. Where it makes sense to develop a title for both PS4 and PS5 &mdash; for &lsquo;Horizon Forbidden West&rsquo;, the next &lsquo;God of War&rsquo;, &lsquo;GT7 &lsquo;&mdash; we&rsquo;ll continue looking at that. And if PS4 owners want to play that game, then they can. If they want to go on and play the PS5 version, that game will be there for them."</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Santa Monica Studio's response</strong></span></p>
<p>Santa Monica Studio also released a statement on Twitter mirroring what Huslt stated in the interview, writing: &ldquo;We remain focused on delivering a top-quality game while maintaining that safety and wellbeing of our team, creative partners, and families. With this in mind, we've made the decision to shift our release window to 2022."</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1622712025-E25HwW7UcAEAq2B.png" alt="" />During last year&rsquo;s PS5 event Santa Monica Studios released a teaser trailer that had a lot of gamers excited, as it was the first trailer for the game and featured the name &ldquo;God of War: Ragnarok&rdquo; which hinted at an upcoming battle for the world, as teased at the end of the original game.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Ty7WudwSKMA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>How was the original game?</strong></span></p>
<p>The 2018 &ldquo;God of War&rdquo; was a reboot for the franchise, and was both commercially and critically successful, with many hailing it as one of the best games to ever release on the PS4.</p>
<p>The game followed a grizzled Kratos as he takes a trip along with his son to spread his wife&rsquo;s ashes on top of a mountain after her passing, but things are not as what they seem, turning the simple task into a father-son adventure of legendary proportions.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/K0u_kAWLJOA" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>

Fans have been waiting for the sequel to 2018's "God Of War" but it seems like the game has been delayed to 2022.

Highly-Anticipated “God Of War” Sequel Delayed To 2022

<p><em>2 min read</em></p>
<p>The highly-anticipated &ldquo;Battlefield 6&rdquo; has been plagued with leaks for a couple of months now, as bits and pieces of the upcoming trailer circulated the interwebs, but now Electronic Arts (EA), and developer DICE decided that they give players what they want and announced when they&rsquo;d be able to see the first trailer for the game.</p>
<p>The company took to social media where they announced that the date for the upcoming &ldquo;Battlefield 6&rdquo; reveal trailer is set to release on June 9 at 4 PM Egypt time.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>No numbers?</strong></span></p>
<p>Interestingly, the company didn&rsquo;t attach a number to the upcoming game simply titling it &ldquo;Battlefield&rdquo; which is weird since the past few games have been having numbers at the end of the with &ldquo;Battlefield 5 (V)&rdquo; being the latest one to do so.</p>
<p>The teaser doesn&rsquo;t have much in it, only a short video of a glitchy screen that lights up with the game&rsquo;s name and the trailer release date, all while a heavy version of the game&rsquo;s theme song played in the background.</p>

<p>Gamers seem to be excited as the video was able to amass over 2.7 million views in less than 24 hours.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re in daily playtesting mode right now: polishing, balancing and making the best possible Battlefield game we can,&rdquo; Skar Gabrielson, general manager at DICE told Polygon in April.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I can tell you it is a bold step. It has everything we love about Battlefield &mdash; and takes all of it to the next level. Epic scale. All-out military warfare. Crazy, unexpected moments. Game-changing destruction. Massive battles, packed with more players and mayhem than ever before. All brought to life with the power of next-gen consoles and PCs,&rdquo; he continued.</p>
<p>While we don&rsquo;t really know much about the plot of the upcoming game, we can assume that the events in it will take place in current times, which is a step back into the modern era which will be the first &ldquo;Battlefield&rdquo; game to do so since 2013&rsquo;s &ldquo;Battlefield 4&rdquo;.</p>

Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo & Bruce Willis’ John McClane To Join “Call Of Duty: Warzone”

<p>It's been less than a year since the PlayStation 5&rsquo;s release and reports are now coming out that Sony is looking into redesigning it in 2022 but thankfully it will only be internally.</p>
<p>The news comes from Taiwanese business outlet DigiTimes which stated that according to its sources in the industry that get a &ldquo;new semi-customized&rdquo; 6nm CPU from AMD since the older version was more expensive to make, and that the device is getting a power boost compared the one available today.</p>
<p>DigiTimes also elaborated stating that the device will remain the same externally retaining the futuristic look, but rather the changes will only affect the internals of the gaming console.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RkC0l4iekYo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>This comes in the heels of a recent investor call where &ldquo;Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki said the company was considering various solutions to help it cope with the global shortage of hardware components, including potentially altering hardware designs or sourcing secondary suppliers, according to Video Games Chronicle.</p>
<p>The console had already made waves when it was announced that it had exceeded the forecasting sales for the time period, with 7.8 million consoles sold rather than 7.6 million; still, the start of production for the device has been a bumpy one especially that it wasn&rsquo;t available for many of the gamers that wanted the device which led to mark up in prices and in turn led to many consumers' outcry.</p>

<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PwxfREj4Swo" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Some people looked at the patent registered by Disney, and think to have the concept behind the device figured out as the new blade works almost like a modified, motorized tape measure, retracting and extending a sheet of plastic and LED lights to mimic the ignition effect, that was made famous in the movies.</p>

<p>According to IGN and The Verge it&rsquo;s going to be part of the Star Wars: &nbsp;Galactic Starcruiser hotel/experience at Walt Disney World in 2022 where guests can "interact with an eclectic group of characters both familiar and new, possibly including the starcruiser&rsquo;s strong and charismatic captain, a plucky ship&rsquo;s mechanic and a galactic superstar who can captivate an entire room with the crook of one jewel-encrusted purple Twi&rsquo;lek finger," and "train in the ancient ways of the lightsaber."</p>
<p>We don&rsquo;t know if Disney is going to start selling them and even if yes, for how much, either way, we can&rsquo;t wait to get our hands on one!</p>

<p>In celebration of the 1952 Egyptian Revolution Day, the world-famous Niagara Falls in Canada were lit with the colors of the Egyptian flag on its commemorative day of July 23.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What happened?</strong></span></p>
<p>Organized by the Egyptian Embassy in Canada, the Niagara Falls were covered in the colors of the Egyptian flag, for the second year in a row, happening at 4 AM on Saturday, July 24, Egypt Time, (10 PM, July 23, Canada time).</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Where was it revealed?</strong></span></p>
<p>The announcement was revealed on the Embassy of Egypt in Ottawa&rsquo;s Facebook page as well as on the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities page, with the latter also stating that members of the Egyptian community in Canada were called upon to participate in the unique moment with friends and family members by taking memorial photos and sharing them on social media.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>You can see the moment below:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmoantiquities%2Fposts%2F183255577169330&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="512" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>Is this the first time something like this happened?</strong></span></p>
<p>The celebration comes as part of the Egyptian Civilization and Heritage Month which happens annually during the month of July, earlier this month Canada&rsquo;s tallest tower the &ldquo;CN Tower&rdquo; was also lit up in the colors of the Egyptian flag at sunset on July 2, which was the second time this happens in 30 years.</p>
<p>The Minister of Immigration, Ambassador Nabila Makram Abdel-Shaheed, said at the time that the celebration of Egyptian Civilization and Heritage Month in Canada comes within the framework of the influential Egyptian community's work in the Canadian society, to acquaint the world with Egypt's long and rich history, and to show Egypt&rsquo;s pivotal role where its lands was a melting pot of different civilizations and cultures.</p>

There are several successful Egyptian symbols in a diverse set of fields that need to share a message of community and peace with the Canadian people through authentic Egyptian arts, sciences, customs, and traditions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The celebrations for Egypt&rsquo;s civilization and heritage month will include broadcasting events and exclusive meetings for symbols in art, literature, and culture in Egypt on Saturday and Sunday of every week throughout July,&rdquo; the Canadian Egyptian Heritage Association in Canada said earlier in July.</p>

<p>Egypt is working hard to provide its citizens several COVID-19 vaccines options and in the coming few days the latest shipment of vaccines should include ones from Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson (J&amp;J), and more.</p>
<p>In a recent phone interview, Egyptian Ministry of Health Dr. Hala Zayed revealed that the country is set to receive two million doses of the Pfizer Vaccine in the coming few days, as well as a shipment of the J&amp;J vaccine, on the other hand, she also revealed that the country will receive enough supplies to manufacture five million doses of the Sinovac vaccine by next week.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Numbers are low but we're not out of the woods yet</strong></span></p>
<p>Dr. Zayed also wanted to assure citizens regarding the current numbers stating that they are low at the moment with the vaccines on the way to hopefully be ready and prepared if there&rsquo;s a new wave coming.</p>
<p>&ldquo;[The] situation is safe in Egypt&hellip; we have reached the lowest level,&rdquo; said Dr. Zayed.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We have not detected cases of the Delta coronavirus variant, but this does not mean that it will not come. The strain has entered more than 100 countries worldwide,&rdquo; she continued according to Egypt Today.</p>

<p>Dr. Zayed also went over the developments of Egypt&rsquo;s position in manufacturing the Chinese &ldquo;Sinovac&rdquo; vaccine and the current position on supplying COVID-19 vaccines, including Sinopharma, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, and Sputnik to the country.</p>

<p>Out of the many iconic voices in the world, Punk Rock legend Iggy Pop has been selected to narrate an upcoming documentary celebrating Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun.</p>
<p>Titled &ldquo;Tutankhamun: The Last Exhibition&rdquo;, the documentary is set to celebrate the child king, commemorate his tomb&rsquo;s discovery that was made back in 1922, and his last record-breaking international exhibition in Los Angeles in 2019 that under the title King Tut: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh.</p>
<p>The documentary is produced by acclaimed antiquities photographer Sandro Vannini&rsquo;s Laboratoriorosso Srl in partnership with Franco di Sarro&rsquo;s Nexo Digital, with Vannini serving as producer and director of photography, and will also appear in the documentary.</p>
<p>Vannini explained that they wanted a different approach when it came to the narration of the documentary to offer a new appeal, that&rsquo;s why they decided to go for musicians for narration, for example in the Italian version it's narrated by Italian singer Manuel Agnelli, while the international version will be narrated by Pop, who is famed for his deep gravely voice that will work perfectly for the subject matter.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/564528799?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" data-mce-fragment="1"></iframe></p>
<p>&ldquo;We were looking for somebody that could give a different appeal to the narration of the movie, and we thought of [Pop] and he accepted,&rdquo;&nbsp; said Nexus Digital&rsquo;s Rosella Gioffr&eacute;.</p>
<p>&ldquo;When we heard his voice for the first time we said this is the voice. This is what we need for this film. The voice of Iggy Pop is simply incredible, When he read the story that he was going to narrate he was immediately keen to work with us,&rdquo; Vannini told Variety.</p>
<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/nrpassets/uploads/embeds/1626076778-Tutankhamun_ONESHEET_poster-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="918" />The documentary was supposed to get released back in 2020, however, when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, it got delayed, which was both a curse and a blessing since now the documentary would release on the centenary anniversary of the tomb&rsquo;s discovery.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re more than happy because we&rsquo;re going to hit the centenary of the discovery,&rdquo; said Gioffr&eacute;.</p>

<p>The Head of the Suez Canal Authority, Osama Rabie, made a statement yesterday in which he revealed that the Suez Canal recorded its highest annual revenue in its history during the 2020/2021 fiscal year.</p>
<p>In the statement released on Sunday, Rabie explained that the high revenue the canal was able to bring in was thanks to the remarkable increase in the number and tonnage of ships transiting through it, with a noticeable rise in the number of ships between January and June 2021.</p>
<p>He explained that during the 2020/2021 fiscal year, the canal brought in a record high in revenues, reaching a total of $5.84 billion compared to $5.72 billion during the fiscal year 2019/2020 making it the highest record amount of revenue the canal was able to bring in during a fiscal year in its history.</p>
<p>The total of ships passed through during the first half of 2021 was 9,763 ships compared to the 9,546 ships that passed through the same time period last year, marking a 2.3% increase.</p>
<p>That large amount of ships also increased the net tonnage that passed through marking a 3.8% increase with a total of 610.1 million tons compared to last year&rsquo;s 587.7 million tons in the same time frame.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSuezCanalAuthorityEG%2Fposts%2F122054360102591&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="619" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>The Head of the Authority confirmed that &ldquo;the revenues of the Suez Canal, despite the various challenges, witnessed a great boom recently, as navigation statistics during the fiscal year 2020/2021 recorded the highest annual revenue in the history of the canal amounting to $5.84 billion, compared to $5.72 billion during the 2019/2020 fiscal year, with an increase 2.2 percent, or $124.3 million.&rdquo;</p>
<p>"The flexible marketing and pricing policies pursued by the authority succeeded in maintaining the transit rates of ships in the canal and gaining the confidence of customers, as the flexible policies contributed during the first half of 2021 to attracting 2519 ships, achieving revenues of $620.1 million,&rdquo; the head of the authority added.</p>

Suez Canal brings in its highest annual earnings ever during the 2020/2021 fiscal year.
