What do you mean you had no idea? To be honest, we almost missed it ourselves, but there's still time to embrace it as an excuse to eat a pile of buttery twists of goodness.

I​n a bid not to seem flaky like our favorite pastry we have dug deep to bring you some fascinating facts about croissants — the first being they're not actually French. We know!

Do you dunk yours in your coffee or bite the tail of it first? Are you a tear it into pieces and smother it in Nutella kind of person? Prefer the almond ones over fresh, simple, and plain? Ever spent too much time pondering whether the pain au chocolat is a croissant at all?

Covered in jam and drizzled in butter or stuffed with gooey cheese: there is A LOT to think about and these facts will have you talking about and eating croissants from dawn until dusk for a good week. Ready to have your minds blown.

Daft Punk, the Parisian duo responsible for some of the most popular dance and pop songs ever made, have split. They broke the news with an 8-minute video titled “Epilogue,” excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma. 

Thomas Bangalter and Guy- Manuel de Homem- Christo formed Daft Punk in Paris in 1993, helping to define the French touch style of house music. Their debut album, 1997’s Homework, was a dance music landmark, featuring classic singles “Around the World” and “Da Funk.” By the release of its follow-up, Discovery, in 2001, the duo had taken to making public appearances in the robot outfits that became their trademark.

Beyond the singles, their visual identity, interstellar mystique, and party-music ethos inspired generations of artists across genres. LCD Soundsystem's breakout song, “Daft Punk Is Playing at My House,” captured the duo’s paradoxical embodiment of hipster cool even as their singles dominated airwaves. They released several batches of holiday incredible holiday merch. They were sampled by R&B greats Janet Jackson and Jazmine Sullivan, parodied in Family Guy and Powerpuff Girls, and celebrated in art galleries around the world. 

In this episode, you will get to know about Daft Punk much better in the 28 year-long journeys. #daftpunk #daftpunkseperated #daftpunkforeverlegends

Sometimes the most charismatic people are the ones who finish first. Added to our skills should be how we make the other person feel when he/she engages us. Yes, great conversations stick to our hearts for a long time. People who make great conversations are interesting to be with. It is a law of attraction to want to be around those who listen with their heart and also speak to our hearts.
Success often depends on being memorable. Who would you hire: the nice but unremarkable candidate or the one who wowed you with not only her skills but her charisma? Who would you give the raise to the guy who finishes all his projects but never gets noticed or the guy who strategically calls attention to his wins? Who would you stay in touch with after a conference: the woman whose name you’ve already forgotten, or the professional who captivated the crowd with her hilarious stories?
It’s obvious you want to be the second person in all these scenarios. Wondering how to cultivate that “memorability?” Here are some techniques to make you that person.

‘Dumb Money’ Is on GameStop, and It’s Beating Wall Street at Its Own Game
#GameStop shares have soared 1,700 percent as millions of small investors, egged on by social media, employ a classic Wall Street tactic to put the squeeze — on Wall Street.

Shares in GameStop plunged by 65% in early trading on #Wallstreet as the trading mania sparked by small investors, which sent its stock surging and cost hedge funds billions of dollars, lost momentum. The struggling Texas-based video game store chain has been the focal point of a battle by small traders, using forums such as #Reddit, to punish Wall Street hedge funds that have bet on certain stocks falling in value.

The tumble in GameStop’s shares indicates that the hedge funds betting against it, which had been caught in a “short squeeze” – a situation where they have been forced to buy more shares in a bid to stem their losses – have now closed out their positions.
