href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/60036164\">The Karate Kid<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> A movie that taught us all about self love before it became a thing, the story follows a teen Daniel LaRusso who gets into trouble with bullies after his mom moves the family to Southern California. Daniel meets Mr. Miyagi, a karate instructor who teaches him all he knows about the sport, and about life in the process. The coming-of-age story that ensues sees Daniel compete in karate tournaments against his bullies \u2014 and learn the importance of compassion. The battle against the brutal Cobra Kai is iconic and one for the books. The success of the film turned The Karate Kid into a media franchise that includes a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/70125931\">remake<\/a> that came out in 2010 (featuring none other than Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith) and the Netflix show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81002370\">Cobra Kai<\/a>, which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/cobra-kai-moves-netflix-1299581\/\">streamer picked up off Youtube<\/a>, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/cobrakai\/videos\">seasons 1 and 2 are still up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIP Michael K Williams:<\/strong> Five-time Emmy-nominated actor Michael K Williams <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/michael-k-williams-the-wire-star-dead-at-54-1235009002\/\">was found dead<\/a> in his apartment last night in New York at the age of 54. The actor shot to fame for his portrayal of Omar Little in the HBO hit series The Wire (arguably one of the best shows ever made) by bringing humanity and depth to one of the coldest characters in TV history. He received further acclaim for his roles in Boardwalk Empire and Lovecraft Country.

You can also add cheese cream frosting with strawberries or Belgian chocolate sauce, marshmallows, and vanilla ice cream. For dinner, Willow\u2019s menu includes something for everything, from a Napolitan pizzeria to a mighty tomahawk steak and golden fried chicken platters and pastas immersed in mascarpone cheese.

These page turners will immerse you in the world of Robert Jordan \u2014 which is reminiscent of Tolkien\u2019s Middle Earth \u2014 and will keep you wanting more. Oh, and did we mention that there are seven prologues to the saga? The last three books are written by Brandon Sanderson, who was brought on to complete the writing of the final planned volume of the series (calling on Jordan\u2019s extensive notes) after the author\u2019s death in 2007. Sanderson\u2019s writing style doesn't disrupt the series though, but rather builds on Jordan\u2019s captivating world. Think you can\u2019t read some 21 books in about two months? You could opt for the series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/series\/89334-the-wheel-of-time---graphic-novels\">graphic novels<\/a> based on the series, published by renowned comic book writer Chuck Dixon.<\/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 class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-recommends\/\">Enterprise Recommends<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/netflix\/\">Netflix<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"557858\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"557858\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">GO WITH THE FLOW<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/09\/07\/meet-our-analyst-of-the-week-banque-misrs-yara-el-kahky\/\">\r\n                            Meet our analyst of the week: Banque Misr\u2019s Yara El Kahky                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/09\/07\/meet-our-analyst-of-the-week-banque-misrs-yara-el-kahky\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

At the time, there was an internal debate on whether I should stay abroad or come back home, but I decided that I wanted my future to be in Egypt and I came back in 2015. I started my career as an intern at Naeem Holding under a rotational graduate program and was hired as an equity trader. It wasn\u2019t what I was passionate about, but my dream job was in sight, so I persevered until I joined Naeem\u2019s research department a year later as an assistant economist. I was promoted to an economist in 2019, but left Naeem in 2020 to join Banque Misr in my current role. I\u2019m also currently studying for my PhD from GUC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My role involves sector strategy, quality assurance, and research. <\/strong>We analyse everything that has to do with the Egyptian economy, from macro indicators to global market mover news that can have an impact locally. We also work with the government on projects with aims such as helping Egyptian banks improve their investment decisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I love everything about my job. <\/strong>I can\u2019t do something unless I\u2019m passionate about it. I like the fact that it constantly forces me to read between the lines and pick up on small details that could see big events ensue. I\u2019m always proud when I can come up with a unique statement or forecast and it materializes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The worst part of my job is that it\u2019s very time consuming. <\/strong>It can sometimes flow into holidays or my social life. However, I knew about this coming into the industry, so it\u2019s all part of doing what I enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My theory of investment is to know your risk before your return. <\/strong>Even if a stock has potential and a low price, there\u2019s always a risk to consider. Which is why you should only invest spare money that you can leave in the market long-term without needing to withdraw it for personal reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most important factor I look at to judge the health of the economy is the interest rate.<\/strong> I think from it you can derive the analytical story that links to everything. Of course, you can\u2019t be an economist and not love figures for GDP, exchange rate, and exports\/imports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think 2022 will be promising, but not quite there yet.<\/strong> There are so many factors that have us drawing up question marks. We\u2019re still waiting to see how the return of Russian tourism will impact the EGX and the global reaction to interest rate hikes by the Fed which might not be positive on our local T-bills and bonds. Then there\u2019s the slated IPOs for next year that could or could not go through, meaning foreign investors haven't yet come back to our stock exchanges. And of course, everything is constrained by the new delta variant of covid-19 and the low vaccination rate. I\u2019m usually quite conservative in my outlook, but I truly believe that it won\u2019t be the year of Egypt until all these question marks are erased and 40-60% of the population is vaccinated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In my opinion, textiles are an overlooked sector. <\/strong>People are always consuming, even if they\u2019re in debt [laughs] and textiles are a huge part of that. It also provides the possibility of adding more vocational training and jobs to market while lowering the import of clothes. I\u2019m currently also working as a fashion designer and I own the brand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yk_conceptdesigns\/?utm_medium=copy_link\">YK Concept Designs<\/a>. Fashion is booming and more people should jump on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I don\u2019t really watch much TV. <\/strong>Between my job, my fashion brand, and my PhD, I barely see my friends and family. I\u2019m even tempted to cancel my subscription to Netflix so that I\u2019m not tempted [laughs]. But I think that being passionate keeps me going, even if it's overnight and during weekends, what I do brings me a different kind of happiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fashion is kind of related to my job as both involve a lot of research<\/strong> and looking at trends and presentations. It\u2019s more specific, looking at age range and social life, but it has its ups and downs and is also quick to change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My future plans are to really grow my fashion brand and teach at a university <\/strong>\u2014 hopefully GUC since I\u2019m a proud GUCian.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>MARKET WATCH- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The EGX30 rose 0.2% at today\u2019s close<\/strong> on turnover of EGP 1.4 bn (7.4% below the 90-day average). Regional investors were net buyers. The index is up 2.3% YTD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the green: <\/strong>Speed Medical (+9.8%), Egyptian for Tourism Resorts (+5.7%) and MM Group (+4.6%).<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the red: <\/strong>Credit
