It is unclear how long Abdalla will hold the position for, but Egypt\u2019s constitution allows the president to appoint a temporary caretaker to fill the position until the House of Representatives begins its next legislative session in the fall, at which time it would need to approve a nominee for a full term.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The decision comes as the CBE\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee is set to meet later today to<\/strong><strong> review interest rates<\/strong> for the first time since Amer stepped down as governor of the central bank yesterday. The <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/5f0f5186-ad0c-49ca-8eb6-bd47cd2f4504\">emerging consensus<\/a> is that the MPC will raise rates, although economists and analysts are divided on the increment, with some forecasting a raise as small as 50 bps and others seeing a potential 200 bps hike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT ABDALLA-<\/strong> He joined Arab African International Bank (AAIB) in 1982 and became the multinational bank\u2019s vice chairman and managing director in 2002 \u2014 a position he held until he left the bank in 2018, having positioned it as one of the nation\u2019s top private-sector banks. He\u2019s the founder and chairman of advisory and private equity firm Panther Associates, and has previously been a board member at the Central Bank of Egypt and EGX, the Institute of International Finance, the Communications Ministry\u2019s ITIDA, and several private and public sector companies in Egypt.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\" \/>\n<p><strong>MEANWHILE- Alaraby Group plans to set up several factories in Africa within the next 10<\/strong><strong> years<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alborsaanews.com\/2022\/08\/18\/1568356\">Al Borsa<\/a> quotes CEO Mohamed Elaraby as saying. The group owns two factories in South Africa and Sudan, and plans to begin operating at a new plant in Nigeria at the end of 2023, he said, adding that they are currently in the process of settling on two more African countries where they will set up additional factories. Elaraby did not specify the expected investment value of the new factories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BIG STORY ABROAD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Much like here at home, the conversation in the international business press is being led<\/strong><strong> by interest rates and monetary policy.<\/strong> Turkey\u2019s central bank <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcmb.gov.tr\/wps\/wcm\/connect\/en\/tcmb+en\/main+menu\/announcements\/press+releases\/2022\/ano2022-35\">enacted today<\/a> a 100 bps interest rate cut, saying that persistent inflation is a result of \u201cgeopolitical developments, effects of pricing formations that are not supported by economic fundamentals.\u201d Although the Turkish bank said it expects to see inflation beginning to ease, the TRY fell against the USD again, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-08-18\/turkey-delivers-shock-rate-cut-as-inflation-set-to-peak-over-80\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports.

His interest comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-08-17\/glazers-said-open-to-sale-of-minority-manchester-united-stake\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported that the club\u2019s American majority owners may be open to selling some of their shares. In 2003, the Glazer family began buying shares in Manchester Utd, and in 2005, they took control of the club. They went into debt to buy the Red Devils \u2014 a move that was not popular among fans. The already-tense situation is now even worse due to the club\u2019s poor start to the season: After losing their first two games of the season, Manchester Utd is in last place \u2014 for the first time since 1992 \u2014 with 0 points in the English Premier League. Despite its recent on-field troubles, the club is still one of the most recognizable names in sports worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who exactly is the club\u2019s potential new suitor? <\/strong>The 69-year-old is the founder of petrochemical firm Ineos, and his holdings range from the French Ligue 1 football club Nice, to the Mercedes Formula One racing team. Earlier this year, he also spearheaded an unsuccessful bid to acquire Chelsea FC, after former Russian owner Roman Abramovich put the club up for sale. Ratcliffe's current wealth is estimated to be USD 13 bn, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/james-ratcliffe\/?sh=670a2a475443\">Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>WATCH THIS SPACE- Abu Dhabi is jumping on disruptive tech investments in<\/strong><strong> emerging markets:<\/strong> AI firm G42, in partnership with Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ-backed Abu Dhabi Growth Fund, is setting up a USD 10 bn fund focused on investing in tech in emerging markets, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-08-18\/mubadala-backed-uae-firm-sets-up-10-billion-fund-for-tech-deals?srnd=premium-middle-east#xj4y7vzkg\">Bloomberg<\/a>. The G42 Expansion Fund will target late-stage companies with so-called \u201cdisruptive technology\u201d in sectors ranging from healthcare to communications in high-growth regions. The AI and cloud computing company is part of a business empire overseen by UAE national security advisor Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed. G42 has made several key hires from Abu Dhabi sovereign funds for its investment team over the last year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diversifying the economy:<\/strong> The move comes as Abu Dhabi \u2014 which is among a short list of cities that manage over USD 1 tn in sovereign wealth capital \u2014 has been investing oil revenue in the technology sector in an effort to diversify its economy. Abu Dhabi wealth fund, Mubadala Investment Co., which owns a minority stake in G42, has also recently made tech investments.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID}

Set in a seemingly idyllic suburb with white picket fences, the show follows the telekinetic reality-warping Wanda, and her enhanced android husband as they try to live normal lives while keeping their superpowers hidden from their nosy neighbor Agnes (Katherine Hahn), who may or may not be more than she appears. Each episode is a tribute to\/parody of classic sitcoms, and the producers nail every detail. The pilot is set in the 1950s era of I Love Lucy, while the second episode is set in the 1960s and is reminiscent of Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie. Then it\u2019s the 1970s and beyond. The show is almost entirely devoid of Marvel\u2019s characteristic action, and it defies genre categorization, making this Marvel\u2019s biggest risk to date. The show is available to stream on Disney+ or you can watch the trailer (<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/sj9J2ecsSpo\">watch, runtime 1:20<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"tldr-story-05\" class=\"content-anchor\"><\/a> \u26bd<strong> Lots of football this weekend, folks. <\/strong>Starting with the Egyptian Premier League: Future will face Ceramica Cleopatra at 9pm tonight, and two other games will kick off earlier at 6:30pm: El Masry v Ismaily and El Gouna FC v Ghazl El Mahalla FC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday: <\/strong>Pharco faces El Zamalek at 6:30 pm, in a crucial game that could secure the league title for the white-clad team, if El Zamalek comes out on top and both Pyramids and Al Ahly lose their upcoming matches tomorrow and on Sunday.

This serves as the most relevant example of how so much of Egypt\u2019s ancient treasures were smuggled out of the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The history of looting Egyptian antiquities runs deep. <\/strong>The episode\u2019s guest host, Egyptologist Monica Hanna, details the history of looting egyptian artifacts that began 200 years ago, largely encouraged by museums worldwide trying to one up each other\u2019s collections and creating huge demand for looted artifacts. Hanna, one of the most active advocates for the preservation of ancient Egyptian artifacts in recent decades, recounts the different attempts made at recovering the smuggled artifacts throughout the years that were not all successful.

On the one hand, some argue that some smartphone functions that help us remember static data \u2014 such as phone numbers, appointments, etc \u2014 makes more \u201cspace\u201d available in our brains to use for other cognitive functions. However, others argue that the slope is far more slippery, saying that the less we rely on our brains, the less sharp they become, and that outsourcing certain brain functions is actually altering the physical composition of what is arguably our most important organ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cDownloading\u201d our thoughts outside of our brains isn\u2019t anything new.<\/strong> It\u2019s just that it\u2019s become a more digitized process over the years. Prior to the advent of the technology that brought us smartphones and computers, humans typically jotted down their thoughts and reminders \u2014 whether grocery shopping lists, doctor appointments, or reminders to call someone back \u2014 using pen and paper, notes neuroscientist Chris Bird. This process of \u201cdownloading\u201d things from our brains to an \u201cexternal drive\u201d therefore isn\u2019t new and actually could, he argues, help make more brain power and space available to allocate to other functions, such as concentration and creativity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But there are also dangers to this approach:<\/strong> Other neuroscientists, such as McGill University professor Oliver Hardt, back the \u201cuse it or lose it\u201d argument. \u201cOnce you stop using your memory it will get worse, which makes you use your device even more,\u201d he tells the Guardian. A 2005 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2015\/03\/150305110546.htm\">University of Waterloo study<\/a> supports this hypothesis: Researchers found that an excessive reliance on our smartphones for convenient information retrieval is connected to \u201clazy thinking,\u201d suggesting that there is actually a connection between \u201cheavy smartphone use and lowered intelligence,\u201d although there is no clear causal relationship established as of yet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some smartphone functions are undermining our brains more than others:<\/strong> While just using convenient functions on our phones to remember things like a recipe ingredient list or where we parked our car in the mall garage may not necessarily be a major detriment to our memory ability, evidence is beginning to emerge that an over-reliance can begin to alter the physical structure of our brains. This effect is more likely to result from relying on our phones to carry out more complex functions, such as geographical mapping (read: using Google Maps all the time). Although relying on GPS to guide you to a completely new destination isn\u2019t the end of the world for your brain\u2019s gray matter, it is far healthier to engage in spatial behavior in geographical mapping. For example, understanding a map to be able to compute directions and decipher where certain points are requires spatial cognition that requires the hippocampus, a part of the brain that plays a critical role in our memory abilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does this all mean?<\/strong> Aside from the day-to-day nuances of forgetting a task on your to-do list, neuroscientists are growing more concerned that our over-reliance on smartphones is actually going to give rise to more degenerative brain diseases. An <a href=\"https:\/\/abcdstudy.org\/\">ongoing study<\/a> on adolescent brain cognitive development has indicated that young children with greater exposure to tech (such as smartphones and tablets) showed more cortical thinning \u2014 a process that is supposed to happen with age as part of the natural process of atrophy. Cortical thinning is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3717586\/\">connected to degenerative brain diseases<\/a> such as Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s, and dementia.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div
