style=\"\"> The Heege manuscript \u2014 an ancient text<\/span><span> that dates back to the 15th century \u2014 reveals the first historical record of a stand-up comedy routine, according to an article by Cambridge University professor James Wade published in the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/res\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/res\/hgad053\/7187022?login=false\" style=\"\">Review of English Studies<\/a><\/span><span>. The manuscript gives \u201c<\/span><span style=\"\">us the rarest glimpse of a medieval world rich in oral storytelling and popular entertainments,\u201d Wade said, noting that people in the Middle Ages showed mastery in live performances. <\/span><span>The ancient manuscript also includes the first use of some phrases that are commonly used today, like \u201cred herring. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">The term, which means giving a false clue to a reader or a viewer, was used in a satirical mocking of medieval society, a common feature in standup comedy acts today. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">What makes the manuscript even more significant is that it offers insight into the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> changes that were happening across the medieval social strata<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> through the texts of the minstrels \u2014 musicians or performers in medieval times \u2014 who had access to the wealthiest families. The minstrels\u2019 performances, some of which were documented in Heege\u2019s manuscript, showed indications that they poked fun at different aspects of medieval society, from peasants\u2019 day-to-day struggles to ridiculing aristocrats. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height:2px;border-width:0;color:gray;background-color:gray\">\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Even though AI has spread its tentacles into several industries, consumers still prefer to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> purchase items that have been made by human hands<\/span><span>, concludes research by the <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/ai-products-marketing-human-made-14a1f7e1?mod=hp_jr_pos1\" style=\"\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">. Despite AI and machines\u2019 ability to create products accurately and efficiently, it seems that people prefer the human touch when it comes to purchases that have symbolic value \u2014 an anniversary gift, a tattoo, or a customized item. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Why? Human-made items are unique<\/span><span style=\"\">, as opposed to their AI counterparts that are identical,<\/span><span> and hold no special quirks, nooks, or crannies that make them special. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\">Save the best for human hands. <\/span><span style=\"\">The outcome of the WSJ research suggests that businesses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> should reconsider automating everything, rather, they should inquire about what \u201cshould\u201d be automated by listening to their customers.

Aside from his own livestock, he has his own natural water well, smoker, and make-shift spit. His cooking show is a feast of every kind of livestock animal, cooked over an open fire, under the ground, in a bucket, or in a myriad of contraptions that he created by hand, whether they are carved from wood from the surrounding forest, or forged in his backyard. One of the very unique aspects of his cooking is that he never speaks as he cooks \u2014 he is completely immersed in his cooking and all we hear are the sounds of nature as he chops, sears, and prepares herbs from his garden to add to the delicious meal that he is preparing. The episodes are not without their surprises \u2014 he has visitors every time he cooks, whether it\u2019s a group of children eager to have their lunch or a condor that decides to accompany him as he prepares a meal in the middle of the forest. The episodes on YouTube inspire anyone who wants to co-exist with nature and leave the urban sprawl behind. Tavakkul is surrounded by animals, clear skies, and lush greenery that makes his sustainable lifestyle very appealing \u2014 also, his handmade cookware is on sale on his website.

I didn\u2019t work a single day in engineering although my father has a private business in this field, but I was more interested in working in FMCGs. I worked for Henkel for five years, starting as a sales supervisor in the traditional trade section, before moving on to become a key accounts manager managing hyper supermarkets as Carrefour. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">My inspiration to launch Kiliim came from a rug for my daughter\u2019s room.<\/span><span style=\"\"> My wife and I<\/span><span> wanted to buy a kilim rug, so we started searching online but we couldn\u2019t find places that sell good designs. We even went to two kilim vendors in Maadi but didn\u2019t find a variety of options. I was curious to know more about this industry, so I dug deeper and I found out that the majority of kilim craftsmen are based in a city called <\/span><span style=\"\">Fowwa in Kafr El Sheikh. The industry was in decline and the craftsmen were so pessimistic and they were trying to go for a career shift or sell their shops. My wife Noha El Taher (<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration-skip-ink:none;-webkit-text-decoration-skip:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/noha-eltaher\/\" style=\"\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">) and I decided to create our own kilim brand that has unique and oriental designs. Most of the designs we saw in the market weren\u2019t exciting and felt redundant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">We started out by touring Fowwa to explore the industry and understand more about the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> craft.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> My first agreement was with the owners of two workshops, both of whom were optimistic and excited to collaborate with us. Otherwise, most of them did not have the appetite to implement new designs as they already have plenty of unsold rugs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">One of the best things about my job is that I work at my own flexible pace<\/span><span style=\"\">; I\u2019m not stuck to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> a rigid schedule of long working hours as was the case in my corporate life. On the flipside, there\u2019s a big responsibility on my shoulders as I am the one responsible for every single detail in the business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">If I could give someone who is thinking of starting their own business just one piece of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:700\"> advice, it would be not to overthink.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> It doesn\u2019t have to be perfect right from the early beginning \u2014 just find a creative idea and everything will be settled afterwards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">The three most important KPIs we look at<\/span><span style=\"\"> are the brand\u2019s year-on-year profitability, growth,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> and the consistency of our product\u2019s quality. We also keep track of the number of kilim craftsmen added to our team. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">I don\u2019t feel like being the founder of a startup is a lonely journey<\/span><span style=\"\"> because my wife is my<\/span><span> business partner and I have a great team that I can count on. <\/span><span style=\"\">When we set up the business, my wife and I each took one side of the responsibilities to complement each other \u2014 she\u2019s responsible for the creative and colorful designs, which are mostly inspired by Fowwa\u2019s Islamic landmarks, and I run the finances and set up strategies.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> I always turn to my wife and my mother for advice to fix a difficult problem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">My wife was my number one supporter and believer and we built the brand together.<\/span><span style=\"\"> My<\/span><span> parents didn\u2019t fully grasp the idea at the beginning \u2014 they were afraid of the risk of leaving behind a good, stable job to embark on an uncertain path. My older daughter, Lina, loves the brand and gives me a lot of love and support that keeps me going. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><span style=\"font-weight:700\">We launched the business with our own capital without formally raising funds<\/span><span style=\"\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> Entrepreneurship competitions \u2014 such as the MIT Arab Competition and the Facebook Community Accelerator 2020 \u2014 were also a good source of income for us.
