Achraf Hakimi only needed one message from Antonio Conte to be convinced to join Inter, a leading transfer expert revealed today. The Moroccan international signed in a €40 million (plus €5 million in add-ons) deal from Real Madrid last summer and was one of the Nerazzurri’s most important players en route to the Serie A title. Gianluca Di Marzio said Conte persuaded Hakimi to come to the club with a WhatsApp message, which read: ‘Come on, join us: I’ll help you improve and you help me win (Serie A).’ Conte is known for getting personally involved in his clubs’ transfer deals to try and convince players to join, and this is another example of where his intervention paid off. Inter signed Hakimi by taking advantage of Real Madrid’s need to sell players in order to respect Financial Fair Play, the report continued. The Nerazzurri might have stood a chance of snapping up the 22-year-old anyway, though, because Hakimi was already looking for a move after completing his two-year loan at Borussia Dortmund. Hakimi’s agent Alejandro Camano remained in constant contact with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, while Italian intermediary Davide Lippi got hold of Inter’s sporting director Piero Ausilio and…

I love these two more than waffles. Warning: There are obviously spoilers ahead for Shadow and Bone Season 1! Shadow and Bone is finally on Netflix, and I can't seem to talk about anything else. Netflix While I love Alina, The Darkling, Mal, and The Crows, my absolute favorite Grishaverse characters are Nina and Matthias. Netflix I literally had to restrain myself from shouting about them to my non–book reader friends who started watching Shadow and Bone. So, to watch Danielle Galligan and Calahan Skogman bring them to life was incredible, and I haven't stopped talking about it. Netflix I mean, some of the Nina and Matthias scenes from the show were taken right from the pages of the Six of Crows duology. Netflix I truly love them more than waffles. Netflix Like me, the rest of the internet can't stop talking about Nina and Matthias.

WhatsApp earlier this year when released its new terms and conditions lost a lot of users as the public thought that the new policies were an invasion to their privacy. The terms read that the user data will be shared with WhatsApp parent application Facebook and people were not so happy about it.As a result, a lot of people fled the WhatsApp nest and moved onto another socialization platform called “Signal” and due to this revenue and downloads of Signal increased drastically.However, WhatsApp has now made it clear to its users that their privacy will not be affected as the said application cannot read their messages considering how they are end to end encrypted and therefore yet again this time WhatsApp is sending out a notification with the new terms and conditions.WhatsApp announced its new and updated terms and conditions late last year and users have a deadline of accepting it till May 15th 2021. Considering how close the deadline has gotten now, WhatsApp is now sending its users full screen pop ups explaining if users accept these terms and conditions what will change on the applications and along with it also explains why users should not be double minded…

Jokingly saying “live, laugh, love” as a tribute to the outdated, momcore wallhangings of yore is now out. Saying “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” is in. Let’s unpack the hottest new alliterative phrase that’s permeating the internet. Where did “gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss” come from? Like so many memes before it, the phrase originated on Tumblr and became mainstream when someone tweeted about it. According to the internet historians at Know Your Meme, the first known instance of the phrase was in a Jan. 12, 2021, post from Tumblr user missnumber1111. “Today’s agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss,” they wrote. It has since been shared more than 44,000 times.Credit: Tumblr/missnumber1111That same day, Twitter user @CUPlDL0VE posted essentially the same thing on Twitter to little fanfare. On Jan. 13, Tumblr user a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e shared the earlier post from missnumber1111 and included a Photoshopped image that reads “gaslight every moment, gatekeep every day, girlboss beyond words.” The imagery reflects the style of “live, laugh, love” decor, as Twitter user @loltay69 pointed out when she later shared the photo.Over the next month, the phrase spread across Twitter. Users began sharing instances of gaslighting, gatekeeping and girlbossing throughout pop culture, including the below reference to Gone Girl, which also introduced the…

Last week, Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter, one of the biggest streamers in the world, suggested she may pivot away from streaming on YouTube to business and investing due to social media hate and the toxicity that comes with the profession. That said, according to a new tweet from Hofstetter, this isn't happening.In a new tweet, the streamer clarifies that she has no intention of pivoting out of streaming entirely. Adding to this, she noted that as long as there are games to play with friends, she'll be streaming. In other words, while a time could come where Valkyrae streams less, it sounds like she'll never stop completely, at least not anytime soon."By the way, when I said I planned to 'pivot out of streaming to business and investing,' I didn't mean entirely," clarified the streamer. "As long as there are games and my friends want to play with me, I'll always stream it. I've been gamin my whole life why would I ever stop!"The clarification comes after the streamer, on stream, noted she's been thinking about streaming and social media, and how she may pivot away from it. At the time, many took this to mean move on entirely, but this…

How important is your professional network in determining your future opportunities, and providing career resilience - which has become increasingly important over the past 12 months? To glean insight into this, LinkedIn recently analyzed a randomized sample of three million LinkedIn members from across the world, in order to determine how their LinkedIn connections and activity have facilitated job transitions and developments. LinkedIn's research focused the relationship between people's LinkedIn connection graph and career mobility - i.e. how quickly somebody moves into their next job.  Factoring in a range of variables, LinkedIn found that among users who share similar demographics, educational backgrounds and professional experience: Members with at least 13 connections from companies other than their current employer, are 22.9% faster in transitioning to their next job than those who do not. Members who are a part of at least one group on LinkedIn are 8.6% faster in transitioning to their next job than those who are not a member of any groups. Members who follow at least 5 organizations on LinkedIn are 7.1% faster in transitioning to their next job than those who do not. ​In some ways, this makes perfect sense - if you're more actively engaged in establishing…

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationFacebook's (FB.O) WhatsApp messaging service relaunched on Tuesday its transfer money services between individuals in Brazil, after it was blocked by the central bank nearly one year ago, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a Tuesday video.Brazil is the second country where the messaging service launched money transfers.

By using debit or pre-paid cards numbers, WhatsApp's 120 million users in Brazil are able to send each other up to 5,000 reais per month through the messaging service free of charge. Initially, the system will not allow each transaction to surpass 1,000 reais or more than 20 transfers per day.The roll out of the new feature will be phased, Chief Operating Officer Matthew Idema said in an interview. Starting today, a limited and undisclosed number of users will get a payment tool in their app.  » Read More

FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS - NOVEMBER 29: Cam Newton #1 of the New England Patriots looks on during the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Gillette Stadium on November 29, 2020 in Foxborough, Massachusetts. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images) When Cam Newton was re-signed by the Patriots back in March, the initial report was that the Patriots were not done adding at the quarterback position. That plan came to fruition on Thursday, when the team drafted Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick. Following the pick, Bill Belichick told the media that Newton “is still our quarterback.” Given the Patriots traditionally start their rookies at the bottom of the depth chart, this shouldn’t have come as much surprise. The real reaction people are waiting for is Newton’s, and we may have gotten that via Instagram. The morning after the Jones’ pick, Newton posted a picture of himself looking in a mirror, captioned with the Kendrick Lamar lyrics “it was always me vs the world, until I found it was me vs me.” Is this Newton hinting at himself recognizing that he needs to be better to win the starting quarterback job? Indicating that he doesn’t view Jones as real competition? Or just…
