<p>Belgian-Egyptian singer/songwriter, Tamino, returned to Egypt once again in his highly anticipated concert, to conclude the tour of his sophomore album &ldquo;Sahar&rdquo; in the main garden of the AUC Tahrir Square.</p>
<p>After the show got sold out in no time, a second show was added on the next day, where Tamino&rsquo;s majestic tunes and atmospheric music blended in with the historical and magical place he was performing at, with a setlist that included many of his most popular and beloved songs, such as &ldquo;The Flame&rdquo;, &ldquo;The First Disciple&rdquo;, &ldquo;Indigo Night&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Habibi&rdquo;.</p>
<p><em>Nile FM got the chance to chitchat with Tamino and delve deeper into his sophomore album and his returning to Egypt.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Tf0MEW_Z9w8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>This is your second time performing in Egypt, how does it feel like to come back here?</strong></p>
<p>"I&rsquo;m honored, and I was nervous last night, and I think I will be nervous tonight as well. Usually, I don&rsquo;t get nervous anymore, so I think it means something, I think it&rsquo;s just because I really wanna do extra well for Egypt.</p>
<p>Even though I lived here for 2 years&hellip;but I didn&rsquo;t really grow up here, still it feels like home, it&rsquo;s the country of my father, it&rsquo;s a country that I wanna explore more throughout my life, I wanna learn the language. I&rsquo;ve been saying that for years but I&rsquo;m actually learning a bit.</p>
<p>It means a lot to also bring my band and my crew here because a lot of them have never been in here, last time we had a smaller band and crew.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s great on many levels."</p>
<p><strong>Since recording each album is its own unique experience, what was unique about recording &ldquo;Sahar&rdquo;?</strong></p>
<p>"The time in which it was recorded, I think for everybody it was a weird time, because of the pandemic and everything.</p>
<p>When the album came out I didn&rsquo;t want it to be stamped as a lockdown record, it&rsquo;s just my second record, I didn&rsquo;t want it to be bound forever with the pandemic, but then looking at it now, it of course affected it, immensely.</p>
<p>I was not on tour anymore, I was home for a long time, it was such a change in my life, my life changed very drastically."</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/3wVTmlD86a8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The majority of the album was recorded during the pandemic, did that affect the sound or the subject matter of the album?</strong></p>
<p>"For sure, because I think in terms of the subject matter, I think all of these songs are quite reflective, because it was a reflective time for probably many people, as we could look at our life from another perspective.</p>
<p>And because I was not on big stages anymore at that time, and usually in my room writing songs, that&rsquo;s probably why the record sounds quite roomy, instead of big like the first one [Amir], which was recorded in-between touring, we would tour a week and then we would be home for a week. If I was not on the stage, I was in the studio, and the experience from the stage would influence our time in the studio, cause we would think about the show we just played for a lot of people.</p>
<p>Also those years before &ldquo;Amir&rdquo; included the first shows that I ever did for big crowds, before releasing &ldquo;Habibi&rdquo;, I was playing in pubs, like small gigs, and let&rsquo;s say if I started recording my debut album then it wouldn&rsquo;t have sounded that big, because I couldn&rsquo;t imagine being in front of a big crowd like that."</p>
<p><strong>Your debut album &ldquo;Amir&rdquo; is titled after your first name, why did you choose the title &ldquo;Sahar&rdquo; for your second album?</strong></p>
<p>"Because of that state of reflection in the subject matter.</p>
<p>I asked my father is that a good title? and he said &ldquo;Yeah yeah, it&rsquo;s a first name, a lot of people will think it&rsquo;s about a girl&rdquo; but it means just before dawn, which is this nice in-limbo, transitional moment, sort of an in-between realm, and to me that album sits in that world.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/g5QOqOK2fXE" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve mentioned before that Colin Greenwood has been part of your band, and he&rsquo;s also been a big part of this album, so can you tell us more about your experience working with him?</strong></p>
<p>So firstly, they [Radiohead] were a huge influence as a band, and when I met him [Colin Greenwood], I wouldn&rsquo;t have dreamt of actually working with him, but then was so kind and so open, and I just felt I can really ask him to play on this song, I didn&rsquo;t dare to do more than one, and he said, &ldquo;Yeah, of course&rdquo;.</p>
<p>And when he came to the studio he was nervous, he was more nervous than we were, and we were already quite nervous, because Colin was coming to the studio, but he nailed it of course as you can hear in &ldquo;Indigo Night&rdquo;, I love that bassline.</p>
<p>One thing led to another, and we just asked him to play some songs in a gig, and he learned how to play them all, and before we knew it he was in our band, he was just with us on tour, and then when we started recording &ldquo;Sahar&rdquo; it was just very clear to us that we had to get into the studio with Colin and Ruben [Vanhoutte], and then we included other musicians, but that was the core, Ruben, Colin and me."</p>
<p><strong>Oud is such a prominent instrument in &ldquo;Sahar&rdquo;; why did you include it specifically?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Because it was the instrument I was studying really hard at that time. I used the pandemic to really dive deep into it, and actually, my teacher is with us. He&rsquo;s playing on stage with us tonight. It was the instrument I picked up first in the morning every day. Two years before the pandemic, I already started playing a bit, but always in between touring, and I never really got the time to go at it. There were some songs that would have never been there without the instrument like &ldquo;The First Disciple&rdquo;. It started with an oud melody, I was playing a melody of the chorus and I really liked it, then I started playing the guitar on top of that melody and that became the song. I think I can incorporate the instrument way more in future songs.&rdquo;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vO5Ma9NmM4w" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Where do you usually draw inspiration from?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;From all over. When I write a new song, it is all about starting the work because if I wait for inspiration, nothing really comes. I really have to start working, and then hope for it to come. I do think that in the end, stories really inspire me. I love reading and love narrative. Somehow, it is like you&rsquo;re leading a second life, like a portal to this other dimension. I feel like that can bleed into your work, more than music even, for me.</p>
<p>Music is of course a huge inspiration for me, but also the narrative in my own life and the experiences and the way my life unfolds and the way I can have new experiences, that really is important to me. For example, living in Antwerp in Belgium, but in two weeks, I am moving to New York because I need a new place. New York, for me, I&rsquo;ve been exploring it a bit and I always felt sad when I had to leave because I felt like there&rsquo;s so much more to explore.</p>
<p>So for now that&rsquo;s a good place for me to be in I think, and I will always listen to that. I always wanna be searching. I&rsquo;ve also realized that the artists that inspire me the most are the artists that search throughout their whole life as they keep an open mind and they never arrive, they&rsquo;re never there. They always keep looking and they&rsquo;re curious, that means sometimes having to leave your comfort zone because if you&rsquo;re too comfortable as an artist, I don&rsquo;t think this art comes from that. I think it is important to face your fears and indulge in them.&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve collaborated with Belgian singer/songwriter Angele on your track &ldquo;Sunflower&rdquo;, which marks your first collab, why specifically did you choose to collaborate with her?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Because we are friends. For me, it is very abstract to ask somebody that I don&rsquo;t know yet, so it was just something that very naturally happened in the pandemic where we got to know each other better a bit better. And when I wrote that song my mind just went to her because we already had the connection. Apart from that, I really love her voice and I love her work, it&rsquo;s a very different world from mine of course.</p>
<p>I think, therefore, even more interesting to see the contrast between the worlds and to see them come together, but I think in the future, if I ever collaborate with other people, for me, it&rsquo;s important to get to know them as it&rsquo;s very weird to step into the studio and start working immediately because I don&rsquo;t know them. I hope that in New York maybe I will meet some people that I will wanna work with eventually after of course we hang out and have fun together.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>How were you able to sympathize and find the human in Ahmed Fahmi&rsquo;s character Gaber, Safah El Giza?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Zeina&rsquo;s character is split into two parts:&nbsp; the one inside Gaber or Mohy&rsquo;s mind and the real one. With the help of Hady El Bagoury&rsquo;s direction, I found myself able to understand both characters, and I was able to understand which Zeina am I playing. The real one or the made-up one. This was a challenge, but a very fun one.</p>
<p>The thing is Gaber believes that Zeina is sympathetic towards him, but that&rsquo;s not true. She&rsquo;s not. Zeina makes it very clear that she doesn&rsquo;t understand him and doesn&rsquo;t want anything to do with him.</p>
<p>He manipulated her and she was pushed by her belief that she deserved more and that she was stuck in a place that had no chances for her. That&rsquo;s the main reason she believed Mohy and that&rsquo;s when she became the victim. She&rsquo;s rebellious by nature and wants to be seen and get the attention she thinks she deserves. Mohy saw that she was young and she dreamed big and used that against her.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Recently, you&rsquo;ve been working with a lot of streaming-services-based projects, how do you feel towards streaming services and what makes them special?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m really happy to work with streaming services because this is the natural progression of media. What makes it special is that we had time to perfect the scenes. I didn&rsquo;t feel pressured because of a set time frame like in the Ramadan season. Also, the idea that an audience can binge-watch a show, and have the full control to play and stop it, is amazing. That&rsquo;s an interrelation between streaming services and TV, now you can access TV series on streaming services at your own pace.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img src="https://i.ibb.co/X5hyBJR/6cc290f5-66fa-4347-ae54-9d372dfdd972.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Can you describe your characters (Noaf- Zeina- Mariam) in a few words?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;Noaf is a unique character and a very smart one. Zeina is a rebellious spirit with a sensitive personality and she&rsquo;s also both a dreamer and a victim. On the other hand, Mariam&rsquo;s character is really close to mine. She is really close to my heart. I believe she&rsquo;s an emotional character, who is also stubborn yet sensitive.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Previously, you&rsquo;ve acted in serval languages and accents. Which of these accents are you most familiar with and comfortable with?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;My mother tongue, the Jordanian language, is where I feel most comfortable as I can express myself the most. However, in general, I really like to experiment with accents. At this very moment, I&rsquo;m also very familiar with the Egyptian accent and I&rsquo;m used to it by now.&rdquo;</p>

Exclusive Interview With Rakeen Saad “Safah El Giza” Star

<p><em>By Hassan El-Seddiq and Salma Khaled</em></p>
<p>Award-winning comic artist Deena Mohamed celebrated the release of the English version of &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; with a book signing and a discussion, in which she talked about her journey translating her highly-acclaimed debut graphic novel and the obstacles she faced while translating the deep-rooted Egyptian cultural nuances in order to reach English-speaking readers.</p>
<p>After her success with the webcomic series, &ldquo;Qahera&rdquo;, Deena Mohamed's debut novel&nbsp;&ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; was awarded Best Graphic Novel and the Grand Prize of the Cairo Comix Festival in 2017. &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; was originally released in Arabic and split into 3 parts, before getting picked up by the esteemed publishing house, Pantheon Books, which is responsible for publishing many distinguished graphic novels, such as &ldquo;Persepolis&rdquo;, &ldquo;Habibi&rdquo;, and &ldquo;Maus&rdquo;.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; embraces and celebrates the kiosk culture while fusing it with urban fantasy in a whimsical alternate version of Egypt where wishes can be purchased. The story follows 3 individuals from radically different backgrounds: Aziza, Nour, and Shokry, who are only linked by a modest Kiosk where the three of them buy a first-class wish from.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Genesis Of &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;</strong></span></p>
<p>Deena explained that her admiration for the Egyptian kiosk culture was the starting point for &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;, she said, &ldquo;Originally I wanted to write a story about Kiosks, I wanted to draw them actually, more than to write about them, and I wanted to write a story that was more based on fantasy because I have just finished doing a webcomic and the webcomic was very satirical and I wanted to do something that was more of a narrative, more of a longer story. When I started with "Shubeik Lubeik". She added, &ldquo;I wanted to do a kiosk and I wanted it to sell a magical object, and then I thought of a wish, and then I had to think of what kind of a world where you could sell a wish in.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The meticulous world-building of &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; was an easier task for Deena to create, but bringing it all to life was the real challenge, Deena said, &ldquo;I just came up with the world and then I put the rules for it and I came up with the story, it was like in three hours I outlined all of it and then I spent six years drawing it. You always pay for your ideas.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;It was from the beginning I knew that the Kiosk would be the link between the stories.&rdquo; Deena said, &ldquo;When I was coming up with the concept of wishes I was thinking of what people would wish for, so I immediately was thinking about grief, and then I was thinking about happiness, and I was thinking about health, so I already know what the stories are going to be about.&rdquo;</p>
<p><iframe title="Deena Mohamed on Creating Believable Worlds and Her Graphic Novel SHUBEIK LUBEIK" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XMhmilzpQ2w" width="1904" height="768" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Expansion Of &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;</strong></span></p>
<p>The first version of &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; which Deena self-published in 2017, went through many changes over the years, with added pages expanding the story, Deena explained that by saying, &ldquo;In terms of editorial, the first part you can kind of see it grow because when I self-published it, it was around 80 pages, and then when I published it with Dar El-Mahrousa after it won the award, it was 120 pages because the award was a residency in France with other comic artists. When I went to France I realized that other comics artists put a lot of effort into their work and I was kind of jealous, and I felt like I could do better, so I decided to go back and add maybe 30-40 pages, and then for the English [version] I added another 20 pages.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She also talked about why the first part was the one that got the most expansion of the three, &ldquo;From the stories&rsquo; perspective, the first part was so hard to reach the final edition for it, but the second and third parts were very planned, so the third part nothing changed in the English [version] because I had already put in my maximum effort for the Arabic [version]. In the second part, there are a few changes in the English [version] but it&rsquo;s also not that significant. So actually I&rsquo;m interested now in the people who have read the Arabic [version], how they feel about the English [version].&ldquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Journey Of Publishing &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;</strong></span></p>
<p>Deena talked about her journey of publishing her debut novel, and how strenuous it is to pursue a career in such a niche market &ldquo;You still can&rsquo;t make a living publishing graphic novels, so the only reason I was able to publish &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; in Arabic was because of the translation. I actually sold the translation before I sign the contract with El-Mahrousa in Egypt.&rdquo; Then she added, &ldquo;We have several really amazing Egyptian comic artists here, and they also have to sell translations or get a grant in order to finish [making] graphic novels in Arabic. Some people can draw a page a day, and some people take a week to draw a page, so if you imagine how long it takes to draw a graphic novel, it&rsquo;s a very time-intensive task and it needs a lot of money actually&rdquo;.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Translating &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; &amp; The Decision To Keep It From Right-To-Left</strong></span></p>
<p>Deena also shared her taxing experience of translating &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;, she said, &ldquo;Translating is really hard because when I was writing the Arabic parts I wasn&rsquo;t thinking about how I would translate it, it was a problem for my future self, so I didn&rsquo;t really consider how difficult it&rsquo;s going to be because they [the characters] speak in lots of different dialects and there&rsquo;s a lot of localized things in it."</p>
<p>The English &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t published like the traditional from-left-to-right English graphic novels, but it&rsquo;s read from right to left just like its Arabic counterpart, Denna talked about what led her to this decision saying, &ldquo;Keeping it right to left for me was important because when I was translating it, I realized that it&rsquo;s always going to feel like a translation, and I liked that.&rdquo; She continued, &ldquo;When I read manga or when I watch something that is subtitled I like the feeling that it&rsquo;s translated. Like no one reads manga and thinks it&rsquo;s originally in English like you know it&rsquo;s originally in Japanese and you can tell it&rsquo;s a translation and you still enjoy it, so I wanted to keep the same feeling, that you know it&rsquo;s a translation but you still enjoy it&rdquo;.</p>
<p>She also talked about how she convinced Pantheon of that decision, &ldquo;I asked Pantheon if we can keep it right to left and they actually didn&rsquo;t mind at all. They kind of care about the production a lot, Pantheon has published a lot of nice looking books, and they&rsquo;ve also published a lot of Japanese hardcover books and they published them from right to left, so it wasn&rsquo;t too difficult to convince them&rdquo;.</p>
<p>However, the most crucial reason for keeping the graphic novel from right to left was the Arabic calligraphy, Deena clarified, &ldquo;The short answer for why I had to keep it from right to left is because the wishes in &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo; are made of Arabic calligraphy, and you can&rsquo;t flip it", she continued, &ldquo;the flow of the story kept stopping at the wishes, so I think that&rsquo;s part of the decision to keep it right-to-left, and I think it made a big difference, even in the way people receive it, it&rsquo;s like a novelty to them.&rdquo;</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Difference Between The Reception Of The Arabic &amp; The English Versions</strong></span></p>
<p>When Deena was asked about the difference between the reception of the book in the Eastern and Western cultures, she replied, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve learned through my career so far to stop predicting my audience because I will always think people will receive it in a certain way. I was aware, at least for the Arabic [version], I know what people like about it because it&rsquo;s been 3 parts and we have conversations about it, especially at Cairo Comix I see how people react to it every year, people message me online all the time about what they think of this part or that part. For the Arabic [version], people focus on the story more, they tend to focus on the characters, and the wishes, and the events, in the English [version] there were a lot of discussions about the infographics, so like the world itself.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She also opened up about her worries that English-speaking readers will face some sort of cultural barrier, she said, &ldquo;Before the English version came out I was definitely a little nervous because I was worried that the English-speaking readers wouldn&rsquo;t like it the same way the Egyptian readers would. It shouldn&rsquo;t be a good Egyptian comic; it should just be a good comic.&rdquo; Then she added, &ldquo;That was the part right before it came out, but now it&rsquo;s been out for a while and I know that people who have no experience with Egypt, or people who have no familiarity with the characters or the story still enjoy it, so I feel like in this part it worked out.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What&rsquo;s Next For Deena Mohamed After &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;?</strong></span></p>
<p>Finally, Deena talked a little bit about her future plans, and what is the next step after &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;, &ldquo;I think with &ldquo;Shubeik Lubeik&rdquo;, the challenge was just to make it and then to publish it, for the next step, the challenge is to write something that you&rsquo;re proud of to an extent,&rdquo; she continued, &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not a measurement of quality, but a measurement of my own skill to be able to do something that is ambitious in a different way.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>A Brief About "El Dahih":</strong></p>
<p>Ahmed El Ghandour is a well-known Egyptian YouTuber and content creator, best known for his online persona &ldquo;Al-Dahih&rdquo;, who is a heavy researcher, specified in the field of the simplification of science in an easy and fun way to grab the audience&rsquo;s attention.

<p>Ahmed El Ghandour began his career by sharing his videos on YouTube in 2014, he explained that &ldquo;The idea came to me from my participation in a scientific competition at the British Embassy, where we presented a scientific idea in three minutes, and I was asked by many of the attendees to make videos on YouTube".</p>
<p>"El Dahih's" name quickly became a household name, and he was shortlisted for the 2019 IBC International Award for Most Influential Youth in Media.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The Subject Of The Live Show:</strong></p>
<p>The live show was hosted in Zed Park, El Sheikh Zayed. For his first live show, Ahmed El Ghandour chose to talk about the concept of &ldquo;The Theory of Everything&rdquo;, which is a hypothetical equation that would explain the physics of the entire world and defines the cosmological structure of the universe&rdquo;. Such a theory was the focus of two of the most famous scientist and geniuses Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. He also explained the components of the atoms and how scientists were able to break the universe into the tiniest building units.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img src="https://api.fastersmart.online/uploads/embeds/1673937968-BeFunky-collaget_FILE_-_In_this_Jan._6_2009_file_photo_Golden_Globe_statuettes_are_seen_during_a_15.jpg" alt="" />&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Physics, EL Ghandour's Passion:</strong></p>
<p>A few of the attendees expressed that they prefer it when the subject is history-based and not science-oriented, and when asked about the reason why he chose this topic as his first live show topic, he explained that he genuinely loves physics and has always been fascinated with the amount of knowledge and understanding that comes with learning physics, and that's why he wanted to honor his favorite topic.</p>
<p>El Ghandour also promised the audience that there is going to be lots of new content and projects and that he is doing his very best to produce useful and time-worthy videos. The audience greeted this news with enthusiasm and cheers.&nbsp;</p>

A Recap Of "El Dahih’s" First-Ever Live Show In Egypt

<p><strong>Photo Credit:</strong> Fatma El Zahraa Mohamed -</p>
<p><em>By Salma Khaled and Hassan El Seddiq<br /></em></p>
<p>Dr. Nevin Al-Kilani, Minister of Culture, inaugurated the thirty-third edition of the Youth Salon, entitled "Art...The Horizon of The Future" at the Palace of Arts in the Cairo Opera House.</p>
<p>This edition includes 167 artists, with a total number of 187 artworks in various fields of arts, from photography to painting to sculpting to plastic arts. The participating artists compete for cash prizes.</p>
<p><img src="https://api.fastersmart.online/uploads/embeds/1672231386-BeFunky-collaget_95.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="700" />&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>"Look At Me"&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>One of the projects, titled "Look At Me" was built by Mohamed Osama and was constructed as a child mannequin, attached to it was a computer screen and a camera with a sensor that turns the screen on when someone looks directly at it.&nbsp; The idea behind this project is the ever-growing gap between parents and their children. The child, represented by the mannequin, is screaming for attention and does not interact with others except when he receives the attention he longs for, represented in the screen that only lights up when looked directly at it. The screen showcases a series of videos that reflects the inner feelings that the child is feeling, like confusion or fear. When not looked directly at it, the screen goes static.</p>
<p><img src="https://api.fastersmart.online/uploads/embeds/1672231406-BeFunky-collaget_94.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="700" /></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&ldquo;Made In Dreams&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Another project entitled &ldquo;Made In Dreams&rdquo; by Hagar Barakat, is made out of a box that has two wheels on both sides and a hole to look through in the middle of it. As you look at it, you turn both wheels that switch different images inside the box. When you find the two photos that best represent you, you&rsquo;ll get a decoded message that explains the reason behind your choice. When asked about the inspiration behind her project, Hagar explained that &ldquo;I have relied on my imagination and love for surrealism to make me happy, and this is exactly what I wanted to transfer to people. I wanted to give them a glimpse of how my mind works. By giving them a series of images to choose from, then helping them understand the reason behind their choice gives them a satisfaction that I am happy to give&rdquo;.</p>
<p><img src="https://api.fastersmart.online/uploads/embeds/1672231441-BeFunky-collaget_97.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="700" /></p>
<p><strong>Legos And Instruments</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Medhat took part in the exhibition with his surreal painting, made out of absurd creatures either holding lego pieces or musical instruments or sometimes both. Medhat explained that he usually uses the symbolism of the legos to resemble a new step that one takes to become a better person and reach your dream. The idea behind the painting is that the people you look up to are exactly the people who are distracting you from your goals and this is the negative impact of comparing. Also, the metaphor of the music in the painting is representative of the idea of &ldquo;focusing&rdquo; and being a one-minded-no-distraction kind of person and not falling into the negative effect of comparing yourself to others.</p>
<p><img src="https://api.fastersmart.online/uploads/embeds/1672231458-BeFunky-collaget_93.jpg" alt="" width="980" height="700" /></p>
<p><strong>The Holiness Of A Family Bond</strong></p>
<p>Enjy Gamal contributed to the exhibition with a one-of-a-kind photo that encompasses a couple in a tight alley heading toward the &ldquo;light&rdquo;. The light here represented the holiness that the church and it represented their bond and the vows they once took &ldquo;till death do us part&rdquo;. The usage of blacks and whites, with all the shades of grey in between, gives the photo a sense of universalization.</p>

<p>The Egyptian soprano was honored by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture after receiving the 2024 European Culture Award.&nbsp;</p>

Egypt's immense cultural and artistic wealth should be leveraged to enhance its status abroad. In recent years, art has become part of Egypt's tourism promotion campaigns, reflecting the country's cultural and aesthetic heritage and attracting tourists seeking rich cultural experiences, thereby creating positive images of Egypt worldwide".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mr. Joel Worrall, Executive Headmaster Of King's School The Crown, was NileFM's guest On "The Big Breakfast" with Rob and Nadine and he told us all about the vision and values of King's School The Crown.</p>
<p><strong>Can you share a bit about the vision and values of the King's School The Crown?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We are part of the Inspired Education Group, over 115 premium international schools worldwide, and we inspire simply to be at the forefront of international education, not just in Egypt, but all over the world.</p>
<p>We think it's more than just a name, it's more than just a brand that goes on the outside of the building it's about what happens inside, and we're all about the three pillars of education, these are the bedrock of what we are doing. Our pillars are academics, academics are fundamental and it's the root of our children getting to the top, but also those pillars include sport and performing arts, and the combination of those three, we think, results in the highest academic outputs as a result of combining those factors and not just focusing on the academics.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned that the Inspired Group has a longstanding reputation for excellence, how does the King's School The Crown carry on this tradition while catering to the local community as well?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It's important that we say that this is not a network, this is a longstanding worldwide group of the top schools performing at the highest level in different education systems in the world, and in The Crown, we are incredibly proud to be here, we incredibly proud to be part of the Egyptian culture, it's part of our school identity, but equally we are determined and focused on the British education system, it is known around the world to be one of the stronger points of access to the top universities. We are really focused on how to get that strength from the group, and how do we build on the British education whilst being rooted in the culture that we love.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Every week I speak with 115 heads around the world, and we learn in advance, for example, we talked about COVID earlier, and as COVID moved around the world our schools were learning, and they were learning from each other, so the next one that was coming line just had a little more advantage from the previous ones, and we built this extraordinary online learning system, that now benefits over 6000 children.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The learning environment is often a reflection of the school's ethos, so how do the school's facilities at King School The Crown support the vision of nurturing a well-rounded individual and fostering both academic excellence and personal development?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>When we built the school, we thought about how the children move around the school, we thought about the classroom design, we thought about the age and stage, and our external facilities like an indoor 25-meter swimming pool, and a FIFA-accredited football pitch, and all of those facilities are first class, indoor and outdoor, and it should be because we're a premium international school.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But the truth is, the heart of the school is the teachers, and my teachers are exceptional practitioners of this profession, and I think all of those teachers go above and beyond regardless of where they're working. The fact that we have all of these additional resources and international facilities just makes their job that much more fulfilling.</p>
<p>One of the things that we do is that we bring these teachers in from around our schools, where we know the quality of their learning, and we know the quality of their background and their education.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How does the school's commitment to students' well-being and personal growth manifest in its day-to-day practices?</strong></p>
<p>I don't think you can differentiate between the two, they're not mutually exclusive. In fact, fundamental to academic success is pastoral care and welfare, and we know as parents that if our children are happy, we can parent easily, and the same applies in the teaching environment, if they're happy if they feel safe, if they feel cared for, and if they feel genuinely liked, they give more, and they get better results.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our young students at King's know that the older students are there to help them, they know that those students have a responsibility to lead by example and to be ambassadors, we have a thriving house system, along the lines of Harry Potter, and it's not just for football competition, houses are more than that, houses are a vertical family of brothers and sisters from the whole range of school, where the older ones can teach and inspire and be role models, and the younger ones have got an opportunity to see a middle ground between the teachers and their peers.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>As part of the Inspired Educational Group of schools, How does King's School The Crown connect students to international opportunities and influence students' learning experience and future readiness?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We've two programs that run every year throughout our group of schools one of those programs is a global summer camp, and those summer camps are open to all Inspired students, and we do things like skiing in Switzerland, we have a NASA camp where children will experience the wonders of NASA, there are sport-focused camps in places like Spain and Salto Grande, and that's summer camp, it's an experiential, primarily enjoyment link with other culture and people.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But then one of the fabulous things that make us really unique is our global exchange program, and it exchanges with a number of our residential boarding schools, running exactly the same system of education, children could go to the UK, Central Europe, Australia, Vietnam or many countries around the world for six weeks, eight weeks, sometimes a term, and be immersed in that school educational life, not for a holiday, but for education, the same program of study, the same quality of learning but perhaps students are looking for a university abroad, perhaps they got wider family in a particular country and they want to go and spend time, or even they just got a passion for a language, and being able to spend that time in the school, parents are reassured that the residential care is first class and in-line with our expectations, and at the same time they know that the education is unbroken, they're not taking eight weeks out of school, they're learning at the same time.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Early years education is a critical foundation, How does the King's School The Crown adopt international practices in early learning to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for young learners?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Our early learning school is designed for children from zero to five years old.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our system of early learning is bespoke to Inspired Education, it's&nbsp;underpinned by a system of learning called&nbsp;Reggio Emilia, which comes from Italy, and it focuses on the child, at the very heart of it, and so it's a program of direct learning based around experience and letting the child explore learning with a teacher, underpins the teaching to what the child is learning, not the other way around.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So you can teach a topic with any activity, but if you get engagement first and then learning second, the learning will always be better.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>School's strength often lies in educators, could you share how King's School The Crown ensures a team of highly qualified international teachers?</strong></p>
<p>We handpick our teachers, it's very important for the whole group that our teachers represent Inspired education and they do that worldwide.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, none of our teaching staff get through the first round of their applications without having a certain level of qualification, and a certain level of experience, they must have a post-graduate teaching qualification which is national equivalent.</p>
<p>That's the base level, they also must have a minimum of three years of experience teaching in the British international structure, and at that point they can be interviewed, they're assisted globally, so I know when they come to me that I'm dealing with the best of the best.&nbsp;</p>
<p>About 60% of my teachers are from the UK, but I also have teachers from New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, and more, the key is excellence.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What Advice would you offer parents who are about to embark on a child educational journey at King's School The Crown, and also how they can best support their children's growth and development during this important phase of their lives?&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It's about talking to us about your expectations as a parent and what are your aspirations for your children, let's be really clear from the start about where we're going, and then we can put a plan in place to help get there, you get honest responses from me about what we deliver as a school, and about what that means in terms of time outside of school, in terms of commitment within the school, and my expectations of parents.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be open and honest about your child parents have had all of the experience with their children, right from birth, and because of that experience they know their children the best, sharing that information about their child means that we get the most detailed and relevant strategies to help progress learning, that means your children can flourish.</p>
<p>And then the last thing I would say is toward the campus, come and see exactly what your child will be walking through, come and see exactly their educational journey, schools are about feelings, you feel like your child and your family would be part of that community, and you see your child growing through that journey, it's not a single purchase, this is an every day, overtime collaboration. So visit the school and see through your child's eyes exactly what they're doing.</p>
<p><strong>What is the best way to get in contact with King's School The Crown?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It's very easy, just visit, <a href="https://www.kingsschoolegypt.com/kings-school-crown-contact?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=17276752930&amp;utm_content={adid}&amp;utm_term=king%27s%20school%20egypt&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjwmOm3BhC8ARIsAOSbapX-nVV8eWXsOldz09piXlEom4630FSrDs21XW4xwWr1Yt2SJFPdY2MaAjX6EALw_wcB">kingsschoolegypt.com</a>&nbsp;there's an inquiry form there, parents are very welcome to put their any details our fantastic admissions team will get right in touch and book an appointment, alternatively hop in and see us, we have a number of parents every week walking in, wanting to come and see the campus.&nbsp;</p>

Mr. Joel Worrall, Executive Headmaster Of King's School The Crown On The Vision And Values Of The School

<p>President of Miss Elite, Stefano Douaihy, along with Miss Elite 2024, Anne Juvyel, 1st runner up, Victoria Manee, 2nd runner up, Irene Grande, 3rd runner up, Sofia Gonzales, and 4th runner up Tawana Sheldrick were our NileFM guests on Good Vibes Only with Zeinab, and they told us all about their experience on the latest edition of Miss Elite.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Last year you told us that Miss&nbsp;Elite 2024 will be sleeker, better, and stronger, can you tell us how the 4th edition of Miss&nbsp;Elite&nbsp;differed from previous editions?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stefano:</strong> Well, the first year I didn't really know what we were doing, we were just discovering how it goes, because beauty pageants aren't part of the culture in the Middle East.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Basically, this was our 3rd year, but technically it was our 4th year, and we did it right, finally, it took us 3 years to get it right, and I promise you next year it's going to be twice better.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You brought on&nbsp;Hadi Awada as the choreographer of Miss Elite, how did this change things up?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stefano:</strong> Hadi has always been with us from day one, because when we started Miss Elite I had no idea where to start from, and I was hunting people down and trying to build a team.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hadi is one of the four pillars of Miss Elite, there's no Miss Elite without Hadi Awada.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What was different about the jury this year?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stefano:</strong> I like to have various juries for many reasons, for example, Mohamed Hefzy is a producer and he has the eye to see future celebrities, he's a star-maker, and then Yasmine is a huge PR person, she's an entrepreneur, she can see the potential of future business women,&nbsp;Dorra is a model, celebrity, and actress from Tunisia, and she also has her opinion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, we had different actors and celebrities from different backgrounds, different mediums, and different ages, and that's good, it's not like we all go vote for the same beautiful girl, each one is looking for something different.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you look back at the voting, we're going to have the full grand finale on the Miss Elite mobile app, you'll see there are a lot of differences in the voting from one jury to another.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Tawana, you were the last question of the top 10, that&rsquo;s a lot of pressure and quite a difficult question at that. What was going through your mind in that moment?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tawana: </strong>When I got called last my heart was pounding so fast because at that moment I was very scared that my name wasn't going to be called, and when my name was called I felt so relieved, and when I got the questions, I was a bit stunned, not because it was hard or anything, but I wanted to make sure that answer nicely and correctly without any hesitation.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sofia, when they were announcing the top 5 you were the last name called out how did it feel anticipating if you made it to the top 5?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sofia:</strong>&nbsp;I was actually super scared because I knew that there was only one spot left, so when I heard "Mexico" I felt so relieved, I was super nervous about it.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Tawana, you won Miss Elite Asia how does it feel to represent and be honored with this award?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tawana:</strong> It means a lot to me, especially standing on the stage of Miss Elite 2024 and representing my country which has a lot of diversity. Standing there and winning the title of Miss Asia really did give me a kick and confidence that I'm representing my country and the women of Asia.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sofia, you also won Miss Americas, did you see it coming and what do you feel this award represents?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Sofia:</strong> Actually I didn't see that coming, but when I was called Miss Americas I was super excited and I felt so proud of my country.</p>

<p><strong>Victoria, in the finale the countries were formatted in alphabetical order, which meant you were the last girl to walk for each category how did you keep up the momentum and stamina throughout?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Victoria:</strong> It's surprising because, in my national pageant, the same thing happened. I usually get very nervous when I'm on the stage but thankfully, I felt like a fish in the water this time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I felt good and I wasn't very nervous, and the juries were smiling and I was just enjoying every second of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Irene, you were asked by the head of the jury, Dora Zarrouk, how you see yourself in the mirror, and your response was really powerful. You said you see yourself as a strong woman. How do you think your educational experience and strength helped you in this pageant?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It was very difficult for me to start university because I didn't believe in myself, but now it's my last year and beauty pageants helped me to start believing in myself, and for that reason, I see myself as a strong woman.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Victoria it was between you and Miss Philippines in the end, describe those moments as you both waited for the final decision were emotions high?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Victoria:</strong> Jovial was one of my first friends in the pageant, and we talked about and when were the last ones, she told me "Remember when we talked about this?", we both thought that we didn't care really about the results, we were proud of each other.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So at that moment, everything was good because if I didn't win I'd be the first runner up, so I was just enjoying that moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Victoria, your national costume was quite breathtaking with great attention to detail. How did the idea for it come about and how does it represent Venezuela?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Victoria: </strong>My national custom was inspired by the Caribbean Sea, and part of the custom was inspired by&nbsp;Choroni, which is a beach in&nbsp;Venezuela, and we have crystal clear water and white sand in my country and I wanted to bring that to Miss Elite because it's beautiful.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Irene, education is a very important part of your essence, what have you learned from the Miss Elite experience? and Has it changed anything in you?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Irene:</strong> I had the opportunity to meet amazing women from around the world, and because they come from different cultures and have different personalities, so this made me learn more about myself.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Anne, coming into Miss Elite did you have the confidence in yourself that you were going to win this?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anne:</strong> Actually, I wasn't sure about it because everyone was so deserving, but I wouldn't be able to be here sitting in front of you with this crown, without the people behind me. They really managed to get me ready for this competition and gave me the boost of confidence to be here and be prepared.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What did you learn throughout your experience in Miss Elite?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anne:&nbsp;</strong>I didn't expect it to be so fun, it was filled with learning and memories that we've created, and it was just so fun to be in the presence of the ladies, getting to know them, getting to know their culture and their countries.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What went through your mind when they announced you as Miss Elite?&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anne: </strong>I was so happy and I felt like I was floating, it felt like a dream come true. The first thing that came to my mind was that I knew that my family is going to be so proud, and after the crowning, I talked to them and they were crying, it was such a lovely moment that I'll forever remember.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What does being Miss Elite 2024 mean to you, and how do you plan on representing it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anne:</strong> It means a lot to me because with Miss Elite there's a platform, and when we have a platform we have an influence, so it really means a lot to me because I know that there are a lot of young girls out there looking up to us and getting inspired by us, so we are really nurturing the younger generation. We are making sure that we are maximizing the platform that we have and ensuring that we are sharing knowledge that is beneficial to the younger generation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What advice would you give to a beautiful young lady hoping to participate in this next edition?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Anne:</strong> Definitely, to just be yourself, because in this field you'll get lost, you'll be comparing yourself to other people, you'll receive comments about yourself that you need to change this and you need to change that. So just be yourself and remain grounded and grateful with everything that you do because if you have that, and you believe in yourself, you'll then have fun and it will show in your performance.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Miss Elite is one of the largest &amp; most prestigious international beauty pageants around the globe. It was founded in 2021 by Stefano Douaihy, and it aims to find the most exceptional representatives to celebrate women&rsquo;s beauty.&nbsp;</p>

Miss Elite’s President Stefano Douaihy & The Finalists Are NileFM's Guests On “Good Vibes Only”

<p>Amr Selim, the organizer of Egypt International Boat Show, was NileFM's guest On "The Big Breakfast" with Rob and Nadine and he told us all about the highly anticipated upcoming Egypt International Boat Show.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Your business background includes being the founder and publisher of two leading magazines, can you tell us more about how these magazines came about?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Actually, I used to play Taekwondo, and I'm honored to be one of Egypt's world champions, I used to travel with my colleagues to the world championships, and we would return back to Egypt with glory and victory.</p>
<p>At that time the media wasn't as big as today so there wasn't enough recognition in the media, so I said to myself Egypt should have a publication or a media that covers all types of sports, especially individual sports where Egypt can score medals at the Olympics and international events, so I started "Sports &amp; Fitness" at 1994, and then 5 years later I found that there are no publications for men in Egypt, so I decided to start "He" magazine in 1999, as the first lifestyle magazine for men.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Your very first boat show was organized back in 2007 and it ran for 5 years consecutively until 2011, why did you decide to bring back Egypt International Boat Show now?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>If you allow me, I have to say how we started first. As I mentioned I'm the publisher of "Sports &amp; Fitness" magazine, we write about boating, sailing, yachting, and water sports, so we have very good contact with this field and this industry in Egypt, and we noticed the growth and the progress of this market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>My partner in organizing the Egypt International Boat Show, Ahmed Allam, is the founder and chairman of Art Line for organizing international exhibitions. We both found an opportunity to start this show, and he is one of the experts who has all the logistics, knowledge, and experience, by the way, he is the one who did the&nbsp;Automech car show, the biggest car show in Egypt. We also have a very good contact with the boat dealers, owners, also media, and marketing, so together we came up with the first edition in 2007.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The last edition was in January 2011, after that the market wasn't really stable to do another show, but last year and early this year, we started receiving calls and requests from the boat dealers in Egypt and the local boat manufacturers, and they started asking us to do another exhibition, and we felt like it's a good time to go back again, this is in same the time that Egypt government is also paying a lot of attention to yachting tourism, and the prime minister himself has conducted several conferences and panel talks to improve and to promote yachting tourism, and Egypt started to offer a lot facilities for boat owners to attract them to the harbors and marinas in Egypt.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So we decided to do our sixth edition, at the same time we received a request from&nbsp;Marassi, to conduct our sixth edition on their premises on the North Coast, in the beautiful, elegant resort.</p>
<p>Marassi is considered to be one of the most luxurious places in the whole region and North Africa, and it's well-known to everybody. We thought it was a good chance to come back again and do our sixth edition there.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Can you tell us more about the upcoming sixth edition of the exhibition?&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Our last 5 editions were conducted in the Cairo Convention Center, which is indoor, but this time it's going to be in Marassi from the 11th to the 14th of July, it will be for the first time ever in Egypt on land, and on water as well.</p>
<p>For the first time real and serious potential buyers can go for sea trials, also in addition to the many exhibitors from Egypt, we have international participants, so when we say it's Egypt international boat show, it is an international boat show.</p>
<p>We have boat dealers and agents from the Gulf and Europe who are participating in the show and don't have yet an agent in Egypt, so this is their first time to join a boat show in Egypt, or to show their boats in Egypt.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How exactly has the Suez Canal got involved with Egypt International Boat Show?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It's very interesting because they approached us, which means they're keeping a good eye on the important events related to them. They're giving us great support not only in sponsoring the event, but they also offered, for the first time I believe, a huge discount for the boat and yachts crossing the canal, and they're also giving them free facilities if the boats stayed at any of their marinas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also the Ministry of Tourism, they're giving us a big support and inviting a lot of world media to cover and join the event, which of course will enhance the event a lot.</p>
<p>Egypt Air isn't only participating as a sponsor but they offer big discounts on flights from anywhere in the world to the show, to facilitate the visits of foreigners and people coming from abroad.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everybody is working hard to make it a successful event, and our goal in the end is to make this exhibition an international event, where Egypt can be recognized in the world of yachting tourism.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What's the next step for Egypt International Boat Show?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We already received different offers and requests to conduct the show in other interesting places, we are studying carefully all the offers and chances, and we also thinking big by going international with this event, outside Egypt, maybe in one of our neighboring countries.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have good plans for the future, but we are now focusing hard on the event, cause there are only a few days left.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>If someone wants to come to the show, and they have never been to anything like this before, what can they expect from the show?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>It's very interesting to be in a boat show, it's different. Even if you can't buy a boat or own a boat, you feel happy during the time you're spending there, and this of course for the people who are not into buying boats, but this event is the perfect time and place for anyone who wants to buy a new boat or renew their boat, and find out what's new and interesting in this industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The creator of the well-known card game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk's SpaceX&nbsp;for $15m, over claims of damaging and trespassing on land owned by his company in Texas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The card game creator filed a lawsuit in Texas court claiming that SpaceX has been using the company's land as its own for at least the last six months.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the lawsuit, SpaceX, which had already purchased other nearby lands, had placed building materials such as gravel, and other debris on the property without obtaining authorization.</p>
<p>it's worth mentioning that Cards Against Humanity purchased the land mentioned in the lawsuit back in 2017&nbsp;as part of a stunt to prevent President Donald Trump's border wall from being built in the area, and the company said that they purchased the land after 150,000 subscribers had each contributed $15 towards the Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>X didn't comply with the order, and Musk wrote on his X account "Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes".&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brazil blocked X after failing to comply with the Supreme Court Justice's order within the deadline,&nbsp;De Moraes also said that the platform will stay suspended until it complies with his orders, and also set a daily fine of 50,000 reais ($8,900) for people or companies using VPNs to access it.&nbsp;</p>
