<\/a> Where are you most likely to find Umm Kulthum nestled between George Michael and<\/strong> Kate Bush?<\/strong> Rolling Stone\u2019s 200 Greatest Singers of All Time<\/a>. Coming in at number 61, the Egyptian chanteuse is the only Arab listed in the global Who\u2019s Who of vocalists that ranges from smooth operators to raw shouters, from gospel to punk. Rolling Stone praises Umm Kulthum\u2019s \u201cbreathtaking emotional range in complex songs that, across theme and wildly-ornamented variations, could easily last an hour, as she worked crowds like a fiery preacher\u201d and counts the likes of Beyonce and Bob Dylan amongst her admirers \u2014 not to mention the \u201cincalculable\u201d number of Arab singers.<\/p>\n

Kawkab Al Sharq is in good company:<\/strong> Sitting at the top of the list are women singers Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.<\/p>\n

Virtual people \u2014 not employees working virtually \u2014 are the new thing in the business<\/strong> world:<\/strong> Companies in China are investing heavily in recruiting virtual employees \u2014 \u201ca combination of animation, sound tech and machine learning that create digitized human beings \u2014 for various jobs, CNBC<\/a> reports. These companies are paying as much as USD 14.3k per year for a 3D person, and USD 2.8k for a 2D digitized individual, but incorporating virtual employees is becoming increasingly economical, with costs dropping some 80% y-o-y.<\/p>\n

This company-level push towards virtual labor comes as China\u2019s virtual industry is<\/strong> booming:<\/strong> Beijing is looking to grow the virtual industry to become worth more than CNY 50 bn (c.USD 7.3 bn) by 2025, while some industry players speaking to CNBC expect to see the industry growing at a 50% clip over the next three years. According to Bilibili<\/a>, one of the first video and game streaming applications to adopt virtual employees, \u201c230k virtual anchors started broadcasting on its platform in 2019, and the virtual anchors\u2019 broadcasting time this year surged by about 200% from last year.\u201d Other companies such as Tencent<\/a> are turning to chatbots to replace human customer support, with positive feedback.<\/p>\n

<\/a> It wasn\u2019t the best year for some of the Arab\u2019s richest:<\/strong> Economic hurdles hitting the region on the back of the global financial crisis has taken its toll on the wealth of the Arab region\u2019s richest families, Forbes Middle East<\/a> writes. The Sawiris family, which is the region\u2019s wealthiest with a combined net worth of USD 11.2 bn, saw their wealth shed some USD 800 mn from 11 March to 29 December. Lebanon\u2019s Mikati family, which came in second with a combined net worth of USD 5.6 bn, also lost USD 800 mn in the same period. The Mansour family in Egypt was able to maintain its wealth of USD 5.1 bn throughout the challenging year, while Algeria\u2019s Issad Rebrab and family tied for third place with the Mansour family. Lebanon\u2019s Hariri family came in fifth in the region with a combined net worth of USD 4.7 bn. The list of the region\u2019s wealthiest families do not include those in Saudi Arabia after Forbes stopped tracking Saudi bns since 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
