The storyline is simple: Malcolm (John David Washington) is a hotshot writer-director and Marie (Zendaya) is his girlfriend and muse, but after a successful film premiere where Malcolm forgets to thank Marie in his speech, all hell breaks loose and they fight about past, present and future. An interesting conversation about race is also tangled throughout the film that explores issues that often come up between couples in a long relationship. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/malcolm-and-marie-creative-influences\">Vogue<\/a> is a fan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/the-front-row\/malcolm-and-marie-reviewed-a-film-about-filmmaking-thats-desperate-to-push-buttons\">The New Yorker<\/a> is not, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/culture\/archive\/2021\/02\/malcolm-marie\/617947\/\">The Atlantic<\/a> describes it as a \u201cmeltdown\u201d (though they didn\u2019t mean it as a compliment).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aswan and Sohag are currently going head-to-head in an Egypt Cup match<\/strong> that started at 2:30pm CLT and remained 0-0 at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We have another round of European football tonight: <\/strong>There\u2019s more Champions League action at 10pm, with Real Madrid playing Italian upstarts Atalanta and Man City taking on Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach for places in the first leg of the round of 16.

<strong>Foreign investment in EGP bonds has now exceeded its pre-covid peak<\/strong>, after continuing to stage a rebound from pandemic-induced lows in March through the second half of 2020 and into 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alborsaanews.com\/2021\/02\/24\/1420698\">the local press reports<\/a>, citing an anonymous government source. Total holdings now stand at some USD 29 bn, up from USD 26 bn in mid-January and above the <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/3337ffd0-2efd-4abc-bc91-2adad57554aa\">USD 27.8 bn<\/a> high seen in February before the covid-inspired emerging-market sell-off that saw foreigners dump some USD 18 bn of Egyptian bonds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s driving the rebound? <\/strong>Foreign portfolio investment is increasing by more than USD 1 bn each month, driven by the high yields and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d2132ef4-bbe3-4fbf-adbe-0033fb050730\">low inflation<\/a> that offer some of the best real returns in the world, the person said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egyptian assets were hammered by the covid-19 sell-off in the spring:<\/strong> Investors sold more than 60% of their holdings of Egyptian bills and bonds between March and May as capital fled emerging markets in response to the escalating pandemic. Over the three months foreign holdings fell from almost USD 28 bn to just USD 10.4 bn. The money soon came roaring back.

Revenues for the quarter saw a substantial increase of 24% y-o-y, buoyed by a 20.1% y-o-y increase in the company\u2019s turkey projects segment in FY2020 to EGP 22.7 bn. Despite the segment contributing a larger share to the company\u2019s top-line (49% from 45% in 2020), revenues for FY2020 fell 1% y-o-y to EGP 46.4 bn, on the back of the challenging pandemic year which caused disruptions. This comes as topline from the meters, transformers, and wires and cables segments saw declining revenues for the year. Consequently, net profits for FY2020 declined 25% y-o-y to EGP 3 bn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2021 is the comeback year: <\/strong>The company adapted to the disruptions caused by the pandemic through improving operational efficiencies and controlling expenses growth. This was achieved through more stringent corporate governance systems and automating a number of business activities. Management believes that these measures will set up the company for a return to growth in FY2021. \u201cAs global economic conditions continue to normalize, Elsewedy will work to further expand its footprint into new markets and is working to identify opportunities for profitable investment,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Misr Cement Qena reported a 39% y-o-y surge in net profits in FY2020<\/strong> to EGP 23 mn compared to EGP 16.5 mn the previous year, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/2\/Press-Release-Misr-Cement-Co-Qena.pdf\">press release (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heliopolis Housing reported a net loss of EGP 84.6 mn in the first six months of FY <\/strong><strong>2020-2021<\/strong>, compared to a EGP 351 mn profit in the same period a year earlier, according to the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2021\/2\/Heliopolis-Housing-earnings-FY2020-21-H1.pdf\">earnings release (pdf)<\/a>.

For those who have ended live performances (their raison d'etre), they have had to survive by turning online or making creative new partnerships with larger institutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3aJZjqe\">El Warsha<\/a><\/strong><strong> is one theater troupe that is also coping with scarce funding for the arts, which has put it in dire financial straits.<\/strong> The decades-old independent troupe, founded and led by Hassan El Geretly, is now staring down the possibility that it will have to put an end to its future performances, <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/32\/98\/402537\/Folk\/Folk-Arts\/ElWarsha-theatre-troupe-Of-art-and-resilience-in-E.aspx\">Ahram Online<\/a> reports. Founded in 1987, the troupe has been home to prolific performers like Abla Kamel, Ahmed Kamal and Saied Ragab in the past and is credited with reviving interest in traditional stick performances, folk singing and classic musicals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maneuvering financial strife through bartering: <\/strong>Although funding has all but dried up for El Warsha, as financiers divert resources elsewhere, the troupe is for now making do with what Geretly describes as a form of bartering with creative services among other cultural institutions instead of funds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Online workshops offer a means for survival: <\/strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sitaratheatre.com\/\">Sitara Theater<\/a> felt the burden of responsibility and took it upon themselves to shut down last July, despite the government gradually lifting lockdown measures at the time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-health-coronavirus-egypt-jobs-idUSKCN24L1X7\">Reuters<\/a> reported. At the outset of the pandemic, the theater put its work on hold \u2014 and its actors put their costumes and props in storage \u2014 and then made the decision to remain shuttered, saying that it\u2019s not \u201cthe safest option\u201d to reopen, considering their work \u201cmainly depends on gatherings\u201d and often brings together young children in big numbers. Now, the theater offers online workshops and shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some, however, are embracing the mantra of \u201cthe show must go on.\u201d<\/strong> Among them is Cairo Show \u2014 a private Egyptian theater company \u2014 which <a href=\"http:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/NewsContent\/5\/35\/400034\/Arts--Culture\/Stage--Street\/Cairo-Show-theatre-troupe-to-resume-staging-of-Hap.aspx\">kicked off the year<\/a> with a musical comedy despite official figures indicating the second wave of covid-19 peaked in January, with the Health Ministry reporting 1,022 cases on 14 January (one week before the show).<\/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\/culture\/\">culture<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/life-arts\/\">LIFE &amp;

After all, the number of people who have an understanding of quantum mechanics let alone understand the significance of using photons over superconductors is probably quite low. But esoteric subject matter aside, the developments in China may come to fundamentally change how we understand the world around us, so hear us out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First things first:<\/strong> <strong>Quantum computers make that brand new MacBook Pro sitting on your desk look proto-neanderthal.<\/strong> Seriously, even the world\u2019s most powerful supercomputers are no match for what their still-primitive quantum cousins can achieve. The system developed in China processed in mere minutes a calculation that would take a supercomputer <strong>2.5 bn years<\/strong> to figure out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does it actually work?<\/strong> Computers talk in binary. That is, they process information through a series of 0s and 1s, also known as <strong>bits<\/strong>. This classical binary system has underpinned the history of modern computing, from the first, most basic machine produced in the 1930s to the world\u2019s most advanced supercomputers being built in 2021. Quantum computing changes all of this. While standard computers are stuck communicating in <strong>either<\/strong> 1s or 0s, quantum theory uses what computer scientists call <strong>qubits<\/strong>: units that can be 1, 0 or <strong>both at the same time<\/strong>. The idea that a particle can be in two places at once, or in this case be in two states at once, is known as <strong>a superposition<\/strong> and is a foundational concept of quantum mechanics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is this so special?<\/strong> Put simply, the ability of qubits to be placed in superposition allows them to store previously unthinkable amounts of information. Two qubits alongside each other can be placed in four possible states (00,01,10,11), but the 53 cubits that Google used in its prototype machine provided upwards of 9 quadrillion possible states (2^53). Adding more qubits exponentially increases the processing power of the machine, allowing it to calculate in minutes what for a MacBook would take millenia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google was actually the first company to stake a claim to quantum advantage:<\/strong> In October 2019, the tech giant <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/perspectives\/sundar-pichai\/what-our-quantum-computing-milestone-means\">became the first company<\/a> to claim that it had built a machine that can solve complex problems that are beyond the reach of standard supercomputers. Using a 53-qubit superconducting circuit, the team performed a calculation in 200 seconds that it claimed would take a classical computer 10k years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notice that we wrote \u201cquantum advantage,\u201d rather than \u201csupremacy\u201d:<\/strong> Quantum advantage refers to a machine that can merely do calculations faster whereas supremacy suggests that it can perform complex tasks that are beyond the reach of a classical supercomputer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jiuzhang has just one-upped the Silicon Valley behemoth, reaching near genuine supremacy:<\/strong> Rather than using super-cold superconductors, the team at the University of Science and Technology in Hefei used photons (particles of light) to solve a problem known as boson sampling, a problem that its inventors contend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-020-03434-7\">is impossible for a standard computer<\/a>. Jiuzhang managed it in just 200 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Despite their power, it\u2019s going to be a long time before quantum machines become useful, but development is accelerating.<\/strong> Although existing machines remain fairly primitive and are unable to be used for practical purposes, quantum startup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rigetti.com\/\">Rigetti<\/a> is looking to change this. The business, started by a former IBM researcher, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/cc9b866c-02fd-4a5c-b283-a17dd3dad6c3\">announced plans<\/a> to build the first commercially-viable quantum machine, and is working with Edinburgh university and Standard Chartered to investigate its uses in finance, and quantum software start-up Phasecraft to apply it to design, energy and pharma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And they\u2019ll be getting bigger and better as we advance through the 2020s:<\/strong> IBM has committed to building a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2020\/09\/ibm-promises-1000-qubit-quantum-computer-milestone-2023\">1000-qubit quantum computer by 2023<\/a> and a mn-qubit machine by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WANT TO LEARN MORE- <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quantum mechanics fit for a six year-old:<\/strong> Wired explains quantum in five levels of difficulty.
