Home/Post / How to Effectively Use Facebook Groups for Business
Facebook groups are a big thing in marketing.
Facebook itself is pushing groups into focus. You want proof? In February, Facebook spent an estimated $10 million on a commercial for Facebook groups during Super Bowl. There are more than 10 million groups on Facebook. 1.4 billion people use Facebook groups.
While it may still be relevant for businesses to have a Facebook Fanpage, if you are looking for marketing success, Facebook groups may well be the better opportunity!
It's been getting harder to grow fans for a Fanpage. But even if you already have a fair number of fans, reaching them with your Facebook Fanpage updates without paying for advertising is getting harder by the day.
While people keep bashing Facebook for the decreasing reach and claim that this is all due to Facebook's greed and the goal of making its users pay for every benefit they get – at least part of the downfall of Facebook Fanpages may simply be because the way people are using Facebook is changing.
People do not want to listen to one-way channels anymore. They are looking for real interactions on social media platforms.
If you manage to engage your audience on Facebook, you are one step closer to marketing success.
But engagement on Fanpages is dropping.
Yes, some of this is because nobody will see your updates most of the time – if you do not boost them with ads.
But "groups" come as a feature that has community and engagement as part of their claim. That makes them the perfect place to look for fruitful connections when it comes to marketing.
But as always, there are Facebook groups that will work well for you – and other Facebook groups will be boring or even frustrating for you, to say the least. Because there is more to Facebook groups for blogs or businesses than just joining them in large numbers and then shout out the same posts you would have used on your Facebook Fanpage.
What are Facebook Groups, and how can you create one?
Facebook groups are a place on Facebook where like-minded people or people with similar interests meet to exchange thoughts, information, and tips from their niche.
Facebook groups provide a space where you can meet targeted people for discussions and exchange of information.
Facebook Page vs. Groups
A Facebook page is basically your business space on Facebook. It is all about you. You can set up a store. You have complete control over the information on your page, and most of the time, the information on a page revolves around your business, your products, or your blog posts.
A Facebook Group is a community effort – even if someone owns the group and stirs it in the direction he/she wants.
People in a group are far more likely to form relationships with each other. Yes, these relationships will form between others as well as between you and other group members, but don't look with jealousy on other people's connections. You will benefit from a group's community more if the group prospers and grows in all directions.
A group's goal is engagement as a way to interact – while a page needs engagement mainly to increase the reach 😉
Click on the "+" beside our Facebook Profile Picture.
Choose "Group" on the list of things you can add.
In the form that opens, choose a name for your new group. Choose privacy and
visibility options.
Change some settings before you start inviting people:
Add a description to the group. This will tell people what they can expect, you can also add some group rules.
Adjust the Membership settings: You can choose who can join the group – for instance, should it be "invite-only?" Who can approve a membership request?
You should also upload a cover image to make the group more inviting!
Ready to go. You should now consider to invite some friends to the group and consider other ways to spread the word about the group. You can post the group on your Fanpage or even email it to your email subscribers. But wait until you have set up the group before inviting people to something they will not like because it is not ready.
You have three options for the privacy setting of your Facebook Group: public, private + visible, private + hidden.
A public group is always visible. For a private group, you can choose if you want the group to be visible or hidden. A private but visible group can be found in the search, but non-members cannot see what is posted before joining. A hidden group can only be found by invitation.
A public group will be listed in Facebook search listings for people searching for related terms. While people still have to join the group before posting, everybody can see what is posted in the group.
A private Facebook group is often your best option when building a very relevant and exclusive community.
Group members tend to open up more in closed communities. A private group is often easier to moderate as you can choose members with care.
Why Facebook Groups are great for entrepreneurs?
There are two different approaches to Facebook groups for entrepreneurs and bloggers:
You can join groups from your niche that already exist.
You can start your own group.
Both approaches have their benefits for marketing and business purposes.
However, if you are a new entrepreneur, you should be aware that your own group may sound beneficial IF you manage to grow it, but the question of HOW you can get people to join your group needs to be answered first.
The advantage of joining existing groups is that you can become part of a community without having to build this community – the group owner already did that.
Joining existing groups will help you to network within your niche. You can get your name out there by answering questions and joining discussions. Do not focus on sharing your content or products. There are more benefits from the group than traffic:
Network and connect to other content creators. Benefits can be guest posting opportunities, cooperation, or recommendations.
Learn what your audience is talking about – get ideas for content and even products.
Get feedback on content and products.
With your own group, you can decide how you want to use it. There are multiple options for how you can benefit from your Facebook group. Depending on your goals, you have to decide who you invite or accept to the group. You may keep the group exclusively to customers or use it to reach potential new clients.
Here are some examples of how you can use a Facebook Group:
Build community – and relationships to customers
Increase reach
Customer support – a Facebook Group can be a very efficient way to deal with customer's questions. The group will sometimes even do the support for you by answering the user questions.
Get customer or audience feedback, react to customer requirements – offer additional value.
Create additional value with an exclusive group just for customers. These types of groups are often used as incentives for new customers.
Both types of groups (owned and existing) will help you find beta testers, brand ambassadors, or affiliates.
Best Practices for running a Facebook Group
If you are running your own Facebook Groups, you should follow some best practices to make it the positive experience you want it to be:
Clear Code of Conduct: Tell people what they are allowed to do in the group and what you do not want. For instance, you may not want people to promote products and services – as these types of posts often make groups very spammy and do not add to discussions and engagement. If you make the rules clear, you can easily delete posts that are against the rules and eventually kick people out who consistently break the rules.
Welcome new members regularly: Make new members feel welcome and at home. A simple "Welcome to our new members: @Sandy, @Mark, and @John" can help to start the relationship on the right foot. If you ask new members to introduce themselves, you can keep up the activity in the group.

Engage consistently: Don't set up a group and then leave it idle. If you want to start a group, you have to make an effort and engage. Especially when engagement dies down, you are in charge and should start new conversations.
Facebook Groups come with some beneficial moderation features.
If your group grows and it gets harder to keep ahead of all the messages, you should use them to get alerted to the most important posts right away. For instance, if you are using the group as a customer support forum and someone mentions "downtime" or "cannot buy," you should react in a short time. Moderation features will help you to set up alerts. You can also schedule posts for your group or handle membership requests.
Utilize Facebook Live in your group: You can use Facebook Live videos to add personality and a face to your brand – and the group. Facebook Live is a very engaging format and gives your members the chance to interact directly with you.
In case you are mainly using existing groups, make sure you read the group rules and follow them. If you want to use groups to interact, build relationships, and reach an audience, you do not want to annoy the community with inappropriate behavior.
Try to engage with people from the group, don't just shout out messages but become part of the conversation.
Examples and Case Studies of Facebook Groups
1. National Geographic – Women of Impact
Empowering Women is a hot topic and has been for years.
Many companies have groups for women. National Geographic may not be the typical business you would expect to cater to women's opportunities. But that makes it so much more intriguing.
The group is flourishing with over 70k members. And this group shows that a Facebook group does not always have to be connected to products.
National Geographic is a great example of a company that utilizes the many opportunities that the different social media platforms offer. If you have not seen their Instagram, check out their Instagram storyboards!
2. Peloton – Official Peloton Members Page
This is a group for owners of sports equipment from Peloton. The group connects like-minded people around the products and fitness classes hosted by Peloton.
This group is clearly connected to the owner's products, offers additional value to their customers, and creates community around the products.
As I am writing this, the group has over 370k members – and growing!
3. Hubspot Academy Content Marketing Pros
The Hubspot Academy is for all Content marketing professionals. It is not limited to Hubspot customers. This is not a customer support group. It is Hubspot's closest contact to what's going on in their target audience.
In the group, people can connect to like-minded people from their niche. Hubspot encourages discussions about content challenges, current projects, and everything else connected to content marketing.
This way, Hubspot gets in the middle of their target group. They know what content marketers are talking about, what's bugging them, and what products and solutions they are missing. This insight is invaluable!
4. Instant Pot Community
From the examples in this post, this group is the only public group. Non-members can see what is happening in the group without joining the group.
With 2.7m members in the group and (just) 312k fans to the Instant Pot Facebook Fanpage, this group is a great example of the popularity of groups with Facebook users.
Members of the group interact about all things Instant pot: questions, recipes, and the joy of cooking. The group sees an extraordinary number of 10000 posts per month.
With recipes being popular on social media anyway, the public group is a great way for Instant Pot to increase their reach and connect to new users.
Final Thoughts on Facebook Groups
Discussion forums and groups have posed great opportunities for bloggers and businesses for years now. But with the decreasing organic reach on social platforms and the need for more engagement and interaction with target audiences, Facebook groups are winning against Fanpages now.
However, don't make it one or the other between Facebook pages and groups. You can and, in most cases, should do both.
Use your Fanpage to provide interested visitors with the information they are looking for and use groups to connect, build community, and engage with people from your niche.

Charles Puyol reacts to Messi's exit from Barcelona
August 6, 2021 August 6, 2021 by meziesblog.com, posted in Sports
Very few people associated with FC Barcelona have posted a message on social media regarding Messi's departure.
One player who has commented on the situation, however, is Charles Puyol. The ex-captain wrote "A tough day, but #ViscaelBarça", accompanied by a photo of him holding the captain's armband at the Santiago Bernabéu.
A post shared by Carles Puyol (@carles5puyol)
Another former Barça player who commented on the situation is Cesc Fabregas, who is a close friend of the Argentina captain. Besides these players, the silence has been notable.
Lionel Messi did not expect negotiations to sign a new contract with Barcelona to have an unhappy ending.
The forward is devastated at Barça's announcement on Thursday that he will leave the club after 21 years at Camp Nou.
Barça said they had an agreement with Messi over a new deal but that La Liga's financial rules made it impossible to register him for the new season.
Messi was hopeful of signing a new deal and extending his stay at the club. More than 20 years after arriving from Rosario, that no longer looks possible. The Argentina international player had arrived in Barcelona from Ibiza on Wednesday to finalize his new five-year contract with the club.
But on Thursday he received the confirmation that it would not be possible and that was reflected in his mood. Media sources confirm the Argentina international was deeply distressed to find out Barça would be making the announcement.

Jane Seymour finds teenage love letters, sends them to her ex
Home » Celebs » International celebs » Jane Seymour finds teenage love letters, sends them to her ex
Jane Seymour has rediscovered her teenage love letters. The 69-year-old actress revealed that she discovered her romantic notes to her first husband Michael Attenborough – son of the late actor Richard Attenborough – in storage during lockdown.
Jane, who played Bond girl Solitaire in 'Live and Let Die', told Sebastian Shakespeare's column in the Daily Mail newspaper: "I found my old love letters from when I was 15.
"I just spoke with my first husband and sent him the letters. The family got to see what their life is about and about my life when I was their age.
"We loved every second – it strengthened our bonds."
Jane began dating Michael when she was a teenager and the pair were married between 1971 and 1973 – although the actress believes that the union didn't last as they were "simply too young".
A post shared by Jane Seymour (@janeseymour)
Meanwhile, Jane was recently annoyed when someone else was cast to play the younger version of her character in 'Glow & Darkness'.
Jane portrays Eleanor of Aquitaine in the historical drama series and claims she was originally told she'd play her throughout her life from the age of 25 – but the plans then changed without any warning.
She said: "They told me that only I was going to play myself at 25. But before I even got round to doing it, the day before, without telling me, they found another actress to play me at 25.
"It's something I really don't understand at all because believe it or not, and you can see on Instagram, they don't even need to do the facial stuff on me. It works just fine. Joan Collins is 87 and she's supposed to be playing a woman who dies at 40."

Last year, American Giant founder and CEO Bayard Winthrop dropped by the Men's Fitness offices and introduced us to what's arguably "the greatest hoodie ever made." What made this sweatshirt so great? They're insanely comfortable with a tailored (aka "not boxy") fit. Now, American Giant is expanding its line to offer lighter-weight hoodies (like the 100% cotton Weekend Full-Zip, available mid-May for $69) and French terry shorts (available now at American Giant's site). Pair the Weekend Full-Zip with the Weekend Shorts for the perfect outdoor workout look. In this video, online director Mike Simone chats with Bayard to see what's next for American Giant.


Rain, rain and more rain has been for formula for the last week or so. It really poured down on Sunday and I was able to sit inside, drink coffee and listen to the rhythm. I am thankful.
On Monday I was forced to go to work. I was able to drive in nice warm car and then sit in a nice warm restaurant as the rain came down. I am grateful.
I think of all the people who ride buses either by choice or because government regulations have made them too expensive. I think of people who walk to work. I am truly blessed.
Simple comforts that we take for granted and are extreme luxury in the context of history or the world today.
Whenever I think of rain in Kalifornia, I think of mudslides. I hope it's not to that point yet.
Keep in mind that your knowledge of mudslides in Kalifornia are what you hear from the media. I have lived here all my life and I don't think I have ever seen a mudslide. Who you going to believe, CNN or my lying eyes?

Olive's A Cover Star! Drew Barrymore And Daughter Grace...
Olive's A Cover Star! Drew Barrymore And Daughter Grace Cover Of People Magazine
By Hayley Avron in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 12 December 2012
Follow Drew Barrymore
Picture: Drew Barrymore leaving the gym in Santa Monica with no make-up. Los Angeles, California - 05.12.12
Drew Barrymore's new baby daughter Olive is only a few weeks old but she's already a cover star. The ET actress and her new born baby are the stars of the latest issue of People magazine, in which Drew talks about the joys of motherhood and becoming a parent, with her partner, art consultant Will Kopelman.
"I couldn't eat or sleep for two weeks, I was just so nervous," she told the magazine and added "I really wanted a wonderful traditional home for my kid," she says. "Will comes from a strong family, he provides a strong family ... It just makes me so emotional because it's like a miracle." Barrymore is clearly very much in love (as you would hope!) with Kopelman, whom she married in the summer but she explains the love that she has for Olive has given her a whole new take on the notion of love: "You have the highest highs and yet you're facing the biggest fear of, 'How do I keep someone alive?'" and explains that nobody can really prepare you for the extra responsibility of motherhood.
Olive's a lucky baby having such a talented mother, too; apparently one of Drew and Will's favorite ways to get little Olive to smile is to sing 'Good Morning' from Singin' In The Rain. "It's like the biggest crush I've ever had in my life!" gushes Drew. We look forward to seeing more snaps of Olive as she grows up!

At the end of these loops between the planet and its rings, the spacecraft will do a death dive into the planet.
On Tuesday, NASA officials will outline the details of Cassini's "Grand Finale," the five-month exploration of the narrow gulf between Saturn's cloud tops and its glittering rings.
After 13 years spent studying the giant planet, the probe is on its final mission. But in some ways, the mission's final phase that kicks off later this month could prove even more fruitful, with the deep-space probe making a series of daring passes through the gap between Saturn and its rings, where scientists expect it to make some of its most extraordinary discoveries before burning up in the atmosphere.
"The planned conclusion for Cassini's journey was far and away the preferred choice for the mission's scientists", says Linda Spilker (NASA-JPL) in a recent press release. In 2010, NASA chose to end the mission with a purposeful plunge into Saturn this year in order to protect and preserve the planet's moons for future exploration - especially the potentially habitable icy moon Enceladus.
Before it retires, Cassini will pass near Saturn and give us the closest look yet at what goes on in Saturn's rings.
Cassini has been a decades-long odyssey for the scientists involved, and the probe's 3-minute final dive into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15 will be a bittersweet moment, the researchers said.
During its mission, Cassini made close approaches to Mimas only seven flybys at distances of less than 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers). But the mission could meet a premature end if a ring particle hits Cassini.
Cassini launched in 1997 and arrived at Saturn in 2004.
"We're going to a place and obtaining data with the Cassini spacecraft, we could only obtain by doing it this way", she said. As it descends, it will struggle to keep its antenna pointed toward Earth to deliver atmospheric data about the planet's skies and in a matter of minutes, it will burn to a crisp and become one with Saturn.
"Cassini's own discoveries were its demise", Maize said.
"Getting this close to the rings and the planet, that is a once in a life time experience for a scientist like me", Spilker said.
Astronomer Fred Watson, from the Australian astronomical observatory, said the Cassini mission was one of the most successful NASA missions ever. Some of these moons-like Enceladus with its underground water oceans and Titan with its methane lakes and rivers-could potentially be home to primitive extraterrestrial life, and we can't risk contaminating them with the microbes on Cassini.
The company may have initially made its name with the Taser device, but the move towards body cameras has been a lucrative one. And the prospect of having more police departments sign on after their yearlong trial probably isn't a bad look either.

The Vote: Bush, Gore, and the Supreme Court

Though George W. Bush took office in January, the nation is still recovering from the prolonged and complex process by which he was elected. The Florida electoral controversy and the subsequent decisions by both the Florida courts and the U.S. Supreme Court left citizens and scholars alike divided over the role of the judiciary in the electoral arena. Now, after a few months of reflection, leading constitutional scholarsCass R. Sunstein, Richard A. Epstein, Pamela S. Karlan, Richard A. Posner, and John Yoo, among others—weigh in on the Supreme Court's actions, which remain sensible, legally legitimate, and pragmatically defensible to some and an egregious abuse of power to others. Representing the full spectrum of views and arguments, The Vote offers the most timely and considered guide to the ultimate consequences and significance of the Supreme Court's decision.
The contributors to this volume were highly visible in the national media while the controversy raged, and here they present fully fleshed-out arguments for the positions they promoted on the airwaves. Readers will find in The Vote equally impassioned defenses for and indictments of the Court's actions, and they will come to understand the practical and theoretical implications of the Court's ruling in the realms of both law and politics. No doubt a spate of books will appear on the 2000 presidential election, but none will claim as distinguished a roster of contributors better qualified to place these recent events in their appropriate historical, legal, and political contexts.

The department chooses an annual outstanding student through the Jesse Rushing award.
JESSE L. RUSHING was born in Blytheville, Arkansas on January 9, 1953 to Jesse and Latonia Rushing and lived his very early years in Missouri. His family and he moved to Central California and were farmworkers during the early years of his life. His parents, wanting to improve themselves, both went to school to become certified to work in the state hospitals as psych techs and raised their children in Porterville. Jesse was the eldest and only son of four children. He loved playing drums in the school band as well as playing basketball and baseball. He was a very good pitcher and was scouted by the pros during his high school career. He went onto USC on a baseball scholarship but soon found his interest in sociology and religioncourses. After dropping out of USC, he worked a variety of jobs, married Marjorie Coots, and went to work as an eligibility case worker for Tulare Co. Dept. of Social Services. He decided to return to school to earn a degree in social work to advance in the field. After entering Fresno State, he decided his real interest was in sociology, especially criminology and religion. He finished his BA and was thrilled to be accepted to the graduate program at University of Washington where he worked as a research assistant with Dr. Joe Weiss, Dr. Rodney Stark, & Dr. Daniel Doyle with whom he published, posthumously, the research paper "Beyond Durkheim: Religion & Suicide" in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion (1983, 22(2):120-131). During finals week of his first semester of graduate school, Jesse suffered a brain aneurysm and, after surgery and being in a coma for several days, died on December 17, 1979 at the age of 26. Dr. Joel Best, chair of the sociology department of Fresno State (1978-88), was instrumental in establishing the Jesse L. Rushing Scholarship Award, funded by donations from sociology faculty. Nearly every year, a cash award is presented to an outstanding sociology student who is aspiring towards a doctoral program. Between 1990 and 2013, of the 23 Rushing Award Recipients, five of them have earned doctoral degrees (3 Ph.D.s in Sociology), one is a doctoral student, and ten have earned master's degrees.
*Originally named the "Jean Miles Grant" Scholarship in 2005 and renamed the Jean Miles and Clifford O. Grant Scholarship in 2014, this scholarship award is announced annually in the spring semester. It is presented to a sociology major who will be returning for the fall semester and who has demonstrated outstanding progress towards the degree, including a minimum 3.5 GPA in the major and a minimum 3.0 GPA overall.
The Harvey Milk Award, a $2,000 scholarship, is presented annually to an outstanding scholar completing the Humanics Certificate at Fresno State through The Bulldog Pride Fund which was established in 2006 as an endowment under the auspices of the Fresno State Alumni Association.
The Humanics Exemplar Award is presented annually to an outstanding graduate and alumnus/alumna who has completed the Humanics Certificate and/or Minor Degree in Philanthropic & Community-based Leadership at Fresno State.


Paris (AFP) – After dozens of people suffered breathing problems in the latest suspected chemical attack to hit Syria, AFP asked doctor Raphael Pitti about the medical effects of such a strike.
Pitti, whose Union of Medical Care and Relief Organizations (UOSSM) provides medical care to civilians across Syria, said it was very likely that the use of toxic gases had killed people in the battered rebel-held enclave of Eastern Ghouta in recent weeks.
A French anesthesiologist and former military doctor, Pitti has been to Syria several times and his NGO has a network of contacts there.
The fighting was very violent yesterday (Wednesday) evening. There was a real drive to make sure the rebels were not in a position to resist, and so they used chlorine because it is a weapon that is ideal for pushing them back.
I've been informed that missiles containing chlorine were fired, as well as major and sustained artillery fire and bombardments with napalm and phosphorous.
To our knowledge, 124 people suffered breathing problems in Saqba and Hammuriyeh and more than 100 civilians were killed by bombs.
Absolutely. Most of the time, those most seriously injured die at the scene within an hour. They don't make it to hospital. They die of oxygen deprivation.
But no one takes stock of the dead; they are buried immediately. Nobody does an autopsy to determine what killed them.
It causes lesions, a burn if you like, of the lung tissue.
The chlorine also damages the mucous membrane and so there will be an immediate burning sensation, a burning in the airways which will shrink the diameter of the bronchial tubes.
This makes it difficult to breathe, like you're having an asthma attack.
For those who are lightly injured, the only thing you can do is send them home, because the doctors do not have bottled oxygen.
They can give out inhalers which will make it easier to breathe eventually.
There is also a trend towards using steroids like cortisone, but these will certainly not reduce the burning sensation. It could even make it easier for the airways to become infected.
But unfortunately, they're making do with what they have.
For the most serious injuries, you have to put them to sleep, intubate them, put them on a respirator. You need access to intensive care facilities.

Erdogan sets May 14 as Turkey's election date
Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced that Turkey's elections will be held on May 14 — a month earlier than scheduled — as the opposition still searches for a unified candidate to stand against him, Agence France-Presse reported.
This could prove to be the most challenging election in Erdogan's two-decade rule; which has seen economic booms, giant development projects as well as disputes with neighbors, wars and a failed coup.
"I will use my authority … (to) bring the election date forward to May 14," Erdogan said in a video from his meeting with young people in northwestern city of Bursa this weekend.
Turkey's next general election was officially due on June 18.
"This is not an early election but bringing it forward," Erdogan said during the video broadcast shared by his office.
The Turkish leader said that they had agreed on an adjustment to the timetable with its junior right-wing coalition partner to avoid disrupting the school exam schedules.
Time ticking
The election campaign is due to start on March 10, which would give the Turkish opposition even less time to prepare.
They have been trying for months to agree on a single candidate to challenge Erdogan at the polls.
While Turkey's high inflation and weakening currency could help their cause, internal disagreements play to Erdogan's advantage.
He has been using the government's dominance in the media to control the nation's political debate.
An opposition party source told AFP this week that their joint candidate would be announced in February.
Istanbul's popular opposition mayor Ekrem Imamoglu is a favorite in opinion polls, which suggest he could beat Erdogan in a head-to-head race.
It was he who put an end to the domination of Erdogan's ruling party in the 2019 local elections.
An İstanbul court last month banned the 52-year-old from politics, but he has appealed and can technically run for president.
Imamoglu's legal battle has turned the main opposition Republican People's Party's (CHP) leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu into the most likely candidate to stand against Erdogan.
Bookish and less telegenic than the mayor, Kilicdaroglu has struggled to secure the support of the other opposition leaders.
Erdogan's long rule
Erdogan, an Islamist, is seeking to secure a place alongside Mustafa Kemal Atatürk — in the pantheon of transformative Turkish leaders.
Critics, however, accuse him of undermining the secular pillars of the modern republic.
Since he came to power in 2003, first as prime minister and then president, he has embarked on an ambitious infrastructure program, building tunnels, bridges and the country's largest airport.
He challenged Turkey's coup-filled past and cut the wings of the military, himself surviving a bloody coup attempt in 2016.
But his subsequent crackdown on opponents as well as uneasy relations with NATO allies have raised questions about Turkey's future direction under his rule.
Erdogan had on Wednesday spoken of his intention to bring the election date forward to May 14, recalling the day Turkey held its first free election in 1950.
The winner on that occasion, Adnan Menderes — a prime minister and an emblematic figure for the Turkish conservatives — was toppled by a military junta in 1960 and executed a year later.
Erdogan's pick of May 14 is seen as a gesture to the conservative electorate.

The International Court of Paris issued its final verdict on the issue of Kurdistan region's oil export through Turkey. The initial evidence shows this vote is in favor of the Iraqi government.
Jailed Kurdish politician Selahattin Demirtas has said he is not legally eligible to run for the presidency, turning down a proposal from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) to be its presidential candidate in the May 14 presidential election, according to a statement from the party.
Officials from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) will meet on Saturday, the spokesman of the PUK said.
A new path for Syria's Kurds*
No regional power has tried to oust the Syrian regime as openly as Turkey. Since the start of war in Syria in 2011, Turkey trained and armed opposition groups, hosted millions of Syrian refugees, and in 2020 even directly clashed with regime forces. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has called Syrian President Bashar al Assad a "murderer" and called on the international community to hold him accountable.

Banning PKK and YPG is totally outdated, professor tells Kurdpress
Wednesday 7 September 2022
Prof Birgit Ammann believes it has to be made clear that there is also a lot of serious critique against both the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the People's Defense Units (YPG) and their political environment- within and outside the Kurdish communities and that that the ban of both groups is totally outdated in Germany. A professor from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, she also said it is virtually impossible and unnecessary to figure the number of the Kurds in the world because Kurds do not need a number to justify their claims.
Iraq's top court ruled out against the federal government in Baghdad sending payments to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
Local media in the Iraqi Kurdistan region have reported that Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdistan Region's Chamchamal County in Sulyamaniyeh was targeted with rockets on Friday monring.

An Acceptance For All in the Workplace
"When I interviewed David over a year ago for his position, the question to me wasn't whether he was able or qualified to do the job; of that, I had no doubt. It was more about whether I was qualified and able to supervise and properly instruct him," says Mark Fink – Hebrew Public's Chief of Staff.

David is an Adelphi University graduate, with a major in English Literature from the Honors College. He was hired through JCC Manhattan last year to fill the role of operations assistant at Hebrew Public's office in New York City.
As the operations assistant, David supports the Hebrew Public team with various administrative tasks, such as research and mailing invitations for fundraising events. When asked, David describes his position as extremely gratifying, "I learned about the mailing process, how to research online, and some technical skills too. When I have a question, everyone is very friendly and willing to accommodate me."
At Hebrew Public, part of the mission is to lead a network of diverse public charter schools that teach Modern Hebrew and the history and culture of Israel to children of all backgrounds. Hiring David and being accepting and open to his disability, means a lot to us. Our classrooms are filled with students from different backgrounds, religions, and socioeconomic classes. Fifty percent of our students are students of color, 34% speak a language other than English at home, and 44% are economically disadvantaged. Furthermore, social and emotional skills are taught in our schools – these skills encompass empathy, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness. Opening our doors to diversity is part of what we stand for as an organization.
In today's society, organizations need to make an effort to raise awareness to accept those with disabilities in the workplace. Regrettably, there are more than 14 million people with disabilities who want to work. The challenge is breaking down those misconceptions that that employee will underperform.
Despite these challenges, we do believe that significant progress has been made. With the notion in mind, that everyone deserves a chance regardless of their condition, and a vision for inclusion, JCC has created The Jack and Shirley Center for Special Needs program. Their programs for children and adults aim to build and nurture individuals with special needs through social, recreational, and educational activities. With their support and expertise, families feel empowered, and most importantly, included.
"Truth be told, my experience with him isn't much different from my experience with anyone else who has worked with or for me." David is actually most productive when given clear instruction and left to his own devices. He manages himself effectively and isn't shy about asking when something is unclear," explains Mark.
In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Mark was nominated as an exemplary employer and received an award on behalf of Hebrew Public for committing to providing employment opportunities to individuals with disabilities. Every year, the Adult Career and Continuing Education Services-Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) of the New York State Education Department holds an awards breakfast in honor of National Disability Employment Awareness. The goal is to spread awareness of employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities.
"I think the lesson here is to enter any relationship on the same level with who you are working; treat it as a partnership of equals. For me, David has been a great instructor in supervising employees in the modern workforce. In truth, he has probably taught me a lot more than I could ever teach him."
"I am very grateful to the people that work at Hebrew Public, says David. Considering my condition, I feel comfortable working here. It's more than a paycheck, it's a second home."

Восто́чно-европе́йская фина́нсовая корпора́ция — российский банковский холдинг, существовавший в 2003-2009 годах. Объединял 9 региональных коммерческих банков. Штаб-квартира — в Санкт-Петербурге. Формально зарегистрированное в 2003 году ОАО "ВЕФК" находится в стадии ликвидации с 2013 года.

Все банки корпорации входили в систему страхования вкладов физических лиц. В 2008 году группа ВЕФК обанкротилась, большинство входивших в нее банков были санированы или потеряли лицензию. Исключение составили «Выборг-банк» и «Рускобанк», продолжавшие деятельность до 2016 года.

История
В 2000 году предприниматель Александр Гительсон возглавил совет директоров питерского банка «Петро-Аэро-Банк». Банк, основанный в 1995 году при участии Гительсона, к 1 апреля 2000 года был небольшим и занимал 402 место в России (18 место в Санкт-Петербурге) с 240,2 млн руб. активов. В 2001 году у банка было восемь отделений в Санкт-Петербурге и один иногородний филиал - в Москве.

В 2001 году в ЗАО «Русский торгово-промышленный банк» сменились собственники, к руководству банка пришли представители «Петро-Аэро-Банка». В июне 2003 года Гительсон стал председателем совета директоров «Инкасбанка», также в 2003 году им был приобретен «Выборг-банк».

В конце 2003 года Александр Гительсон объединил в единую корпорацию ОАО «Восточно-Европейская Финансовая Корпорация» контролируемые им коммерческие банки — ОАО Коммерческий банк «Петро-Аэро-Банк», ОАО «Инкасбанк», ЗАО «Русский торгово-промышленный банк», ОАО «Выборг-банк». С 31 марта 2004 года в корпорацию вошел ОАО «Уральский трастовый банк»

Состав корпорации

ОАО «БАНК ВЕФК» (с 2009 - ОАО «Банк Петровский»)

Основан в 1990 году как коммерческий банк «Петровский». В 2000 году переименован в ОАО «Петровский народный банк», в 2002 году — в «МДМ-Банк Санкт-Петербург». В 2006 году контрольный пакет акций банка был куплен Восточно-Европейской Финансовой Корпорацией, и банк получил название «Банк ВЕФК».

Штаб-квартира — в Санкт-Петербурге.

Генеральная лицензия на осуществление банковских операций Банка России от 27 июля 2006 года № 729.

Размер активов на 1 декабря 2007 года — 47 959 млн руб. (48 место в России).

Размер собственного капитала на 1 декабря 2007 года — 6 611 млн руб. (46 место в России).

Председатель совета директоров банка — Александр Гительсон, председатель правления — Виталий Рябов.

Банк имел 183 отделения в Санкт-Петербурге, а также подразделения в Кингисеппе, Архангельске, Великом Новгороде, Воронеже, Екатеринбурге, Москве, Реутове, Мурманске, Калининграде, Костроме, Нальчике, Нижнем Новгороде, Петрозаводске, Пскове, Ростове-на-Дону, Волгограде, Астрахани и Самаре.

По состоянию на 01.07.2008 чистые активы банка составляли 76 233,9 млн руб. (38-е место в России), собственный капитал - 6 984,9 млн руб. (49-е место).

В 2008 году банк столкнулся с финансовыми сложностями. Функции управления банком были временно переданы Агентству по страхованию вкладов.

В 2009 году Банком России с целью обеспечения капитализации банка утверждены изменения в план участия Агентства в предупреждении банкротства ОАО «Банк ВЕФК», предусматривающие размещение дополнительного выпуска акций банка на сумму 10 млрд.руб., 50 % которого будет приобретено Агентством, и оставшиеся 50 % в равных долях ООО ФК «Открытие» и ОАО «НОМОС-БАНК».

Кроме того, в рамках плана Агентством за счет имущественного взноса Российской Федерации будет предоставлен банку субординированный заем в размере 10 млрд.руб.

Уставный капитал банка будет увеличен после регистрации изменений в учредительные документы банка, связанные с уменьшением уставного капитала до одного рубля.

Указанные мероприятия позволят восстановить капитал банка и обеспечить его полноценное функционирование.

Дальнейшие мероприятия по финансовому оздоровлению банка будут осуществляться Агентством и инвесторами в рамках утверждённого Банком России плана мер.

В 2009 году первоначальное название было возвращено в связи со сменой акционеров и выведением банка из состава ВЕФК.

ОАО «Инкасбанк»
Основан в 1994 году как АКБ «Анимабанк». В 1998 году объединился с ОАО «Инкасбанк» и получил своё современное название.

Perhaps for most in the developed world, the image of African poverty is a teeming urban slum, such as can be found in Lagos, Kinshasa, or Luanda. Yet, as Professor Leif Brottem discusses, rural poverty is more widespread and more extreme. He notes that by 2030, some nine out of ten of those living in extreme poverty will be sub-Saharan African, disproportionately rural residents of fragile states with weak institutions and often wracked with conflict.
Watch Muhammad Yunus, founder and managing director of the Grameen Bank and recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, discuss the role of microcredit in fighting poverty.
David Beckmann, Simone Campbell, and Ruth W. Messinger, with Lisa Sharon Harper moderating, discuss faith, poverty, and action, as part of the 2018 CFR Religion and Foreign Policy Workshop.

Q: Getting MethodNotAllowedHttpException No message Error While Storing the data into database [Laravel] Hi am new in laravel and am trying to store the data into database and get this error:

here is my route list:
Route List
Here is full error
Error

A: You need to add a form action here, post.store should work considering that you are using a resource controller':
<form action="{{ route('post.store') }}" method="post">

If this doesn't help let me know.

A: Specify the action in the form.
You can update the HTML to this and it should work:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    {{  csrf_field() }}

    <input type="text" name="title" placeholder="Enter Title">

This is because the create route is /post/create and the store route is /post. Because no action is specified, the form will post to /post/create instead which is why the exception is being thrown.

A: You have to send the data to the view.
public function store(Request $request)
{
    $data = Post::create($request->all());
    return redirect('post')->with('data',$data);
}

with the following route->
Route::post('/post', 'PostController@store');

Gary Oscar Moeller (; January 26, 1941 – July 11, 2022) was an American football coach best known for being head coach at the University of Michigan from 1990 to 1994. During his five seasons at Michigan, he won 44 games, lost 13 and tied 3 for a winning percentage of .758. In Big Ten Conference play, his teams won 30 games, lost 8, and tied 2 for a winning percentage of .775, and won or shared conference titles in 1990, 1991 and 1992. He left Michigan in 1995 following a drunken incident. Moeller also coached in professional football and was the head coach of the Detroit Lions for part of the 2000 season. He was the father of former Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller.

Biography
Moeller graduated from Lima Senior High School in 1959, and afterwards attended Ohio State University. He saw his first action on the varsity football team in 1960 as an offensive guard. He switched to linebacker in 1961 and was named an honorable mention all-conference selection by United Press International (UPI) and Associated Press (AP). Moeller served as co-captain in his senior year along with Bob Vogel.

After graduating in 1963, Moeller was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 5th round of the NFL Draft, but did not play for the team. He instead played for the Grand Rapids Blazers of the United Football League (UFL).

Moeller quit professional football during the 1964 training camp and entered the coaching ranks with Bellefontaine High School in Ohio. He served there as head coach and defensive line coach for several years until joining Bo Schembechler at Miami University in 1967. He moved with Schembechler to Michigan in 1969, where he served as defensive ends coach until 1973, when he was promoted to defensive coordinator. Schembechler had also been an assistant coach at Ohio State when Moeller was a player, and both were members of the FWAA 1961 National Championship team.

Moeller was hired by the University of Illinois as head football coach in 1977, on a five-year contract. After posting a 6–24–3 record in three seasons with the school, he was fired.

Moeller rejoined Michigan in 1980 as an assistant to head coach Bo Schembechler. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1982. He led the Michigan defense from 1982 until his position being changed to offensive coordinator in 1987. When coach Schembechler underwent heart surgery prior to the final game of the season, the Hall of Fame Bowl, and could not coach, Moeller was named interim head coach and led the Wolverines to a 28–24 win over Alabama.

After three seasons as offensive coordinator, Moeller was named Schembechler's successor as Michigan head coach in 1990. In his first season as head, Moeller helped the team compile a 8–3 regular season record to win the conference title. The Wolverines were invited to the Gator Bowl, where they won 35–3 over the Ole Miss Rebels. Michigan improved to 10–2 in 1991 and repeated as conference champions, but lost 14–34 in the Rose Bowl to Washington. That year, he helped Desmond Howard win the Heisman Trophy and Erick Anderson win the Dick Butkus Award. In 1992, Moeller led the Wolverines to an undefeated 9–0–3 record, a conference championship, and a Rose Bowl win over Washington 38–31, finishing fifth in the national rankings. Michigan compiled an 8–4 record in 1993, placing 21st in the national rankings, and another 8–4 record in 1995.

Moeller resigned in May 1995 after tapes were released of his alleged drunken outburst following an arrest on a charge of disorderly conduct at the now-defunct Excalibur restaurant in Southfield, Michigan, on April 28. He was succeeded by Lloyd Carr, who had assisted him at both Illinois and Michigan. Both Moeller and Carr served under Schembechler from 1980 to 1989.

After Michigan, Moeller was hired in June 1995 by the Cincinnati Bengals as tight ends coach under head coach David Shula and spent two seasons there. In 1997, he joined the Detroit Lions as the assistant head coach and linebackers coach under new head coach Bobby Ross. In 2000, Moeller was named head coach following Ross's sudden resignation nine games into the season. He was given a contract for the remainder of the season and two additional years by owner William Clay Ford, Sr., a move that seemingly guaranteed a future with the team. After the team narrowly missed the playoffs (losing their final game on a last-second 54-yard field goal), ownership endorsed Moeller as the Lions head coach for the foreseeable future. However, he was eventually fired by new team president Matt Millen in early 2001 and replaced by Marty Mornhinweg. Moeller finished with a 4–3 record as head coach, making him the only Lions head coach since Joe Schmidt to post a winning record during his tenure (Moeller has since been joined by Jim Caldwell in this regard).

In 2001, Moeller joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as defensive coordinator under head coach Tom Coughlin. He voluntarily stepped down from that position after one season, signing a three-year contract with the Chicago Bears as linebackers coach under head coach Dick Jauron. He served in that role for two seasons, leaving when Jauron was fired after the 2003 season. He did not coach again after that.

Moeller died on July 11, 2022, at the age of 81.

Online games and game publishers that get games to your computer or mobile device
The games ecosystem is vast. Aside from early game consoles that are still found in arcades, entering the 21st century with an enhanced internet due to robust mobile broadband, PC gaming, and mobile online games found their way into consumers hearts and minds entering the 21st century, especially games with an addicting nature.

Evolution of the online games industry
Games have been prevalent in our culture for decades, but the rise of online games and mobile, PC gaming apps is more recent. In the early 1970's Atari, Inc. released the first commercially successful home video game, Pong, following the original arcade version which debuted in arcade cabinets. By the early 1980s, the industry saw a golden age of video arcade games reach new highs surpassing the annual gross revenue of both the pop music industry and Hollywood films combined at that time.
The 1990s saw advancements in game-related technology with the onset of GUI-based operating systems, such as the Amiga OS, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS. Also, advancement in 3D graphics technology, and the continuing upgrades of CPU speed all of which would strengthen the stage for the age of video gaming. Beyond this timeline, the emergence of more powerful and affordable bandwidth on the internet and mobile phone data from the 2000s enabled free games distribution, online co-operative play, and competitive gaming and mobile smartphone adoption of casual games.
Going into the 21st century, technologies such as smartphones, virtual reality and augmented reality gear act as a catalyst for online game hardware and gameplay development. eSports emerges, centered around professional players in organized competitions and leagues for prize money, and grows rapidly drawing hundreds of millions of viewers to the competitions. In total, these online games have chartered their own course to become several billions of dollars ahead of console gaming.
Even the use of comics to expand upon a video game's story has been happening more and more in recent years, to the extent where it's probably more prevalent than you imagine. Comics may have the opportunity to deepen and extend the mythology of a protagonist and/or affiliated characters in ways that just aren't possible in the game because of a lack of time, focus and direction. The appeal of comics is that there is a story that gradually unfolds and evolves over time. This may also be part of a multi-platform approach to telling a story called transmedia narrative. For example, Marvel has tied together their movies with their television show, Agents of SHIELD (2013), and players of the new online role-playing game, Defiance (2013), in a way to influence events in the television show (SyFy, 2015).
The afore-mentioned timeline events ultimately set the stage for an era of online games. In the paragraph below is a listing of some of the well-regarded game publishers that put out some of the more celebrated game titles such as, Death Stranding, Apex Legends, Mortal Kombat 11, Borderlands 3, Kingdom Hearts III, Metro Exodus, Pokémon Sword and Shield, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Control, Far Cry New Dawn, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, Days Gone, Doom Eternal, The Outer Worlds, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Gears 5, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Super Mario Maker 2, Anthem, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Shenmue 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, Crackdown 3, Yoshi's Crafted World, World of Warcraft Classic, eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, Cadence of Hyrule, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, Tetris 99, Code Vein, Katana Zero, The Surge 2, New Super Mario Bros.
