Fraudsters appear to have gotten their hands on one or more telemarketing lists and are placing calls in which they use social engineering tactics to try to brow beat you out of your personal information. The tactics, in a call one of us received this afternoon, included aggressive threats of fines and frozen accounts if we didn\u2019t cough up the information they wanted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AS A REMINDER- Our friends at the CBE tell us no bank will ever call you unbidden <\/strong><strong>asking for your <\/strong><strong>personal information <\/strong>or grilling you about recent transactions. If that happens, go to your branch, log into your online banking account to check for messages, or call your wealth manager or another contact at the bank you know in person. You can also dial the short number for your bank\u2019s contact center to ask for help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you handle a call like the one we received today? <\/strong>Hang up \u2014 and block the number that called you. We think muttered incantations about that person\u2019s parentage and where they can spend the afterlife are optional, and only after you hang up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The one caveat: <\/strong>You will definitely need to identify yourself and provide proof of who you are if you call the bank asking for help.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>** CATCH UP QUICK<\/strong> on the top stories from today\u2019s <strong>EnterpriseAM<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/91cf3226-5bd2-467e-bf88-05b55aad3330\">Your look ahead<\/a><\/strong><strong> at the business-relevant legislation on the House of <\/strong><strong>Representatives\u2019 agenda. <\/strong>You can expect more clarity on immediate priorities next week, according to senior leaders of House committees.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/23b5c57f-bed5-4110-a756-92bf5fa759d9\">El Sisi meets White House national security adviser<\/a><\/strong><strong>: <\/strong>Libya, the GERD dispute, the Israel-Palestine peace process, and human rights were all on the agenda yesterday during talks in Cairo between White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan and President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d3b4aa4e-88a8-4a01-b3cc-f1045c1c7402\">Cutting red tape<\/a><\/strong><strong> for the tourism sector: <\/strong>The Madbouly cabinet says it is looking into legislation and new regulations that it thinks will simplify licensing rules for hotels and tourism companies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ONGOING EVENTS- <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cairo International Fair started today <\/strong>at the Cairo International Conference Center and will run through 8 October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Egypt Projects 2021 construction expo also started today <\/strong>at the Egypt International Exhibition Center and wraps on Saturday, 2 October.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dubai\u2019s Expo 2020 starts tomorrow:<\/strong> The event, which takes place somewhere on the planet once every five years, runs for six months and will be open seven days a week. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expo2020dubai.com\/en\">You can learn more here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/am-edition\/#calendar\">Check out our full calendar on the web<\/a><\/strong> for a comprehensive listing of upcoming news events, national holidays and news triggers.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p>\u2600\ufe0f <strong>TOMORROW\u2019S WEATHER- <\/strong>Temperatures will drop gradually this weekend from 33\u00b0C on Friday to 31\u00b0C on Sunday as fall weather takes hold, our favorite weather app tells us.

Jon Stewart\u2019s new show become the first successful streaming talk show?<\/strong> The release late tonight of satirist Jon Stewart\u2019s new bi-weekly show, The Problem With Jon Stewart, on Apple TV+ is the latest attempt by streaming platforms to bring the talk show format to the streaming world, writes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/jon-stewart-apple-tv-the-problem-11632935715?mod=hp_featst_pos3\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>. Stewart, who rose to fame hosting The Daily Show, has been off of the screen for six years and comes back to a different climate of \u2018wokeness\u2019 that he will have to contend with. He\u2019ll also have to adapt to the new format and audience as he abandons cable TV for the more exclusive streaming platform. Apple TV isn\u2019t the first streaming site to attempt to bring talk shows onto its roster of successes, but the talking heads format kept failing as audiences opt for more binge-worthy, on-demand content.

The hundreds of participants soon realize that the games have a fatal twist and it\u2019s a matter of \u2018kill or be killed\u2019.

UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Businesses can thrive by fixing the world\u2019s problems instead of creating them: <\/strong>Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainable business guru Andrew Winston teamed up to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Net-Positive-Courageous-Companies-Thrive-ebook\/dp\/B08TCHX4FY\/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=\">Net Positive<\/a>, a book that highlights the responsibility the global business community has to our collective humanity and planet. From climate change to rampant inequality, a bottom-up approach must be taken to begin to tackle these issues and finally move past them. That starts with companies becoming net positive and giving more than they take. The key argument in the book is that this will actually make firms more profitable than the alternative, by embracing cooperation with governments, focusing on ESG, and evolving a new culture at the workplace. The book aims to inspire a movement where CEOs, politicians, and activists can together reset the world\u2019s trajectory, believes renowned climate-change author <a href=\"https:\/\/paulhawken.com\/\">Paul Hawken<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEED TO ADD TO YOUR TBR PILE this weekend? <\/strong>Go check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c31b3428-c46e-40b5-a0f8-9cfb13cfbe07\">short list for the 2021<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c31b3428-c46e-40b5-a0f8-9cfb13cfbe07\">Financial Times business book of the year<\/a>.

That future is being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/what-is-metaverse-how-does-it-work-2021-09-08\/\">brought closer to fruition<\/a> by companies using virtual-reality (VR) and augmented-reality (AR) technology to allow their users to enter the \u201cmetaverse,\u201d a catch-all term for ventures from virtual workspaces to gaming platforms, where A In these metaverses, blockchain technology including cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) allow users to accumulate unique assets, whose value \u2014 just like in The Real World \u2014 is determined by demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The next digital frontier: <\/strong>First coined by American writer Neal Stephenson in his 1992 sci-fi novel Snow Crash, the metaverse has been a Silicon Valley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/news\/2017\/06\/neal-stephenson-metaverse-snow-crash-silicon-valley-virtual-reality\">buzzword for years<\/a>. But as the pandemic swiftly brought more aspects of work and leisure into the online sphere, interest in the metaverse\u2019s potential \u2014 and how to monetize it \u2014 has ramped up. Facebook founder and controlling shareholder Mark Zuckerberg has set a timeline for the social media giant\u2019s domination of the virtual territory: the company \u201cwill effectively transition from people seeing us as primarily being a social media company to being a metaverse company\u201d in the next five years, he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22588022\/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-ceo-metaverse-interview\">The Verge<\/a> this summer, adding that \u201cYou can think about it as the successor to the mobile internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facebook\u2019s maximalist Zoom: <\/strong>In August, Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/8\/19\/22629942\/facebook-workrooms-horizon-oculus-vr\">invited journalists<\/a> to visit the first iteration of its metaverse at a press conference run through its new app Horizon Workrooms, which is currently in an \u201copen beta\u201d testing stage. Workrooms is accessed through the Oculus VR headset, which is (not coincidentally) also owned by Facebook. It allows colleagues to meet around a virtual conference table in the form of \u201clegless avatars\u201d or call in to the meeting room via video conference. Workrooms is just a first glimpse of a suite of VR services to be rolled out by Horizon, with Facebook global affairs head Nick Clegg laying out the company\u2019s plans to remodel reality in a \u201cJourney to the Metaverse\u201d talk earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saying the right things:<\/strong> Clegg was keen to stress how responsible and \u201cthoughtful\u201d the company plans to be as it develops the technology. \"It's almost the opposite of that now long-abandoned slogan of 'move fast and break things,'\" he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/facebook-metaverse-research-nick-clegg-55ccd205-30ba-4b10-b0f6-73ccb1c95d50.html\">Axios<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2021\/09\/building-the-metaverse-responsibly\/\">company\u2019s accompanying statement<\/a> hit all the right discursive beats, too, emphasizing the extent to which the company values \u201cprivacy,\u201d \u201cinclusion\u201d and \u201csafety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>New universe, same problems:<\/strong> The irony of this statement will probably not be lost on those with even a cursory understanding of Facebook\u2019s chequered history. Researchers note that concerns over transparency, data privacy, gender and racial discrimination, inclusion, and harm to children in the online sphere will only be amplified within the virtual space. \u201cFor me, it seems like it is simply another step in the monetisation of data to the benefit of Facebook and other large platforms sold to people as fun, exciting, helpful for productivity at work and so on,\u201d said LSE new media and internet professor Robin Mansell. Others marvel at the audacity of launching into a whole new realm of unregulated tech innovations at a time when Facebook is facing a crackdown from US regulators, who have been appalled both by the firm\u2019s sheer power and by allegations that it causes harm to users. And if we can\u2019t get big tech to pay their fair share on income made in this realm, good luck trying to tax their meta-earnings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s Zuckerberg\u2019s world, and we\u2019ll just live in it: <\/strong>Indications so far are that Horizon, which remains in invite-only beta testing despite an original 2020 launch date, represents Facebook\u2019s best hope to build and control the underlying infrastructure of The One and Only Metaverse, with developers creating their own products and experiences inside the space. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just a product that we\u2019re building. It needs to be an ecosystem,\u201d said Zuckerberg. The potential of a single dominant virtual marketplace, where people can create, buy and sell interoperable digital goods and services from many developers, is much greater than that of a space that only Facebook users can access and where only the company\u2019s products are on offer: \u201cYou have your avatar and your digital goods, and you want to be able to teleport anywhere. You don\u2019t want to just be stuck within one company\u2019s stuff,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But ecosystems are hard to control:<\/strong> Some say, the idealistic metaverse is anathema to the way Facebook operates. \u201cEverything Facebook does is inside a closed experience controlled by their engineers and admins,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/venturebeat.com\/2021\/09\/12\/facebooks-vision-of-the-metaverse-has-a-critical-flaw\/\">writes<\/a> Jerod Venema, CEO of real-time communications firm LiveSwitch, adding that the company may hope to restrict metaverse access to users in order to mine and manage their data on an exclusive basis. \u201cFacebook\u2019s ethos of top-down control is the exact opposite of what a thriving metaverse needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>If it all sounds a little dystopian, that\u2019s because it is: <\/strong>Social media companies have had difficulties making the 2D digital world a pleasant place to hang out. We may want to think twice before letting them scale it up. Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2021\/sep\/26\/is-facebook-leading-us-on-a-journey-to-the-metaverse\">the Guardian<\/a>, NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway (<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.voxmedia.com\/show\/pivot\">whose twice-weekly podcast with the inimitable Kara Swisher is killer<\/a>) said that people are scared of the looming \u201cZuckerverse\u201d \u2014 and rightly so. \u201cThe notion that he\u2019s decided that the only way to increase our attention is to become the universe is one of those problems when you sit back and ponder on it too long, it feels like it could go nowhere good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\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\/facebook\/\">Facebook<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/metaverse\/\">metaverse<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/social-media\/\">social media<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/the-interwebs\/\">THE INTERWEBS<\/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=\"558181\" 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=\"calendar\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2021\/09\/30\/your-essential-business-calendar-on-30-september-2021-2\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-558181\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-558181 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-calendar tag-calendar wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-primary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-primary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\">\n\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading mt-0 has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-normal-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n\t\t\t<strong> CALENDAR<\/strong>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p>14-30 September (Tuesday-Thursday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/ga\/\">76th session of the UN General Assembly<\/a>, New York.<\/p>\n<p>30 September-2 October (Thursday-Saturday): Egypt Projects 2021 expo, Egypt International Exhibition Center, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>30 September-8 October (Thursday-Friday): The Cairo International Fair, Cairo International Conference Center, Cairo, Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>30 September (Thursday): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.almasryalyoum.com\/news\/details\/2420167\">Winter opening hours for shops and restaurants<\/a> begins.<\/p>\n<p>30 September: Closing of 2021\u2019s first oil and gas <a href=\"https:\/\/eug.petroleum.gov.eg\/dp\/pages\/common\/BidroundHighlights.jsp\">tender<\/a> in the Gulf of Suez, Western Desert, and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p>30 September (Thursday): First tranche of overdue subsidy payouts <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3BSLyAg\">will be handed<\/a> to eligible exporters.<\/p>\n<p>30 September (Thursday): Direct flights between Egypt and three Libyan airports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pmGNUmedia\/posts\/242139377925128\">resume<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>October: Romanian President Klaus Iohannis <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3z0gaic\">could visit Egypt<\/a> in mid this month to discuss ways to boost tourism cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n<p>1 October (Friday): Businesses importing goods at seaports will need to file shipping documents and cargo data digitally to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/9bf7988d-19f6-45a6-ada1-65d7c23ec723\">the Advance Cargo Information (ACI) system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>1 October (Friday): Expo 2020 Dubai opens.<\/p>\n<p>1 October (Friday): Deadline for state-owned companies and government agencies to sign up to e-invoicing platform.<\/p>\n<p>2 October (Saturday): House returns from recess;
