![]() While the intention behind this feature was probably well intentioned in the beginning, it meant all you needed to do was post too often and comment to much too climb the rankings. Lastly, and this is a change I thoroughly welcome as it's been too easy to abuse, the 'top contributor' plugin will disappear. With roll-out of a standalone LinkedIn groups app, you'll also now have the option to get push notifications when someone posts in your group or comments on your thread– another move to increased (or attempted increase) in stickiness? Currently a large number of LinkedIn users will stay up to date with activity via LinkedIn's mail notifications, so while this is a more contemporary solution, the little red badge on your app icon isn't going to give you the same level of information as email updates, so you're more likely to log in to the app more frequently. Managers and moderators may need to be on constant watch or enlist the help of extra moderators/managers, especially if their group has a large number of dedicated and interested users.Ĭould it be a move to make sure you spend more time on LinkedIn? After all 'stickiness' of a platform like LinkedIn is a valuable quality when it comes to monetisation. But a further change means that posts by members will now go live immediately, it means a group manager can only remove it once they've seen it or been alerted to it – in reality, this potentially leads to a much higher instance of 'low quality content' being visible to group members and as such, could have a damaging effect on the group. LinkedIn have stated that the change to Promotions versus Discussions was also a quality decision, noting that lower quality content built up under the discussions tab. ![]() Initially this feels like more work but for the groups I moderate, it's led to significantly less time spent deleting spammy posts or removing off-topic discussions. Closed groups generally mean a higher level of moderation even when it comes to approving requests to join. As a moderator of a number of groups on a different social platform myself, I've seen evidence of this first hand too. Since October 14th, groups will all be private, this is intended to keep quality of discussion higher, with LinkedIn stating in a help forum that 'Open' groups have created a larger number of lower quality conversations on the platform. Other moderators posted updates to their groups that they would attempt to keep discussions spam/ad free and directed users to the report functionality for posts that may now slip through.īut the change didn't come as a single move, LinkedIn are rolling out a host of changes for groups – including a standalone app for iOS. Moderating a group can be an intensive task and more often than not, they're a labour of love. “Over the past 24 hours there have been more than 400 comments posted by group moderators about these changes - and NONE of them are positive,” noted one moderator of a particularly large group. ![]() In order to keep 'spam' or self-promotional style posts at a minimum for groups (They're a very attractive space to begin subtly or not so subtly advertising your services), users have always had the option to post as a 'Discussion' or as 'Promotion' and this allowed group moderators to maintain a fairly high standard of discussion, while still leaving room for a bit of promotion! That is, until early October, when LinkedIn changed the game, much to moderators' and group members' dismay. It's a feature we've enjoyed and gotten a lot out of. The beauty of groups is the opportunity they offer to communicate with individuals in similar fields, at similar levels to you, but located anywhere in the world. ![]() While LinkedIn users relate, comment and discuss in their own individual ways – with humour and personal, relevant anecdotes, the group discussions have continued to hit just the right spot for many of our bigger, work-related questions and thoughts. Groups have been another big part of this. Throughout the shifts in how we all use social media, LinkedIn has maintained the tone it set out to create. They've also become quite the resource for professionals who love the 'stream' style option for news and has stayed mostly on-point for career-related information when even Twitter users tend to blend more of the personal and humour alongside work/industry updates. Their targeted advertising options and neat search functionalities for recruiters make it the go-to option for many people hunting down the perfect talent online or promoting their B2B services. LinkedIn is an excellent tool in many ways. Whether these will have a positive or negative impact for group members is yet to be seen, but moderators certainly weren't impressed. LinkedIn recently rolled out a number of changes for their Groups.

![]() If you want to give WhatsApp Business a try and you live in one of the five countries mentioned above, you can download the app from the Play Store at the widget below or from APK Mirror. WhatsApp Business also received an update recently to add labels so that businesses could categorize certain messages for later. As we discovered in our hands-on with the app, it offers several unique features: a compatibility with landline numbers (plus mobile as well) as opposed to a hard requirement for mobile numbers, a special badge and profile where businesses can put opening hours, a website, category, location, and a description, as well as statistics for their interactions, and some automated messages for greeting customers or sending quick replies or setting away answers letting them know they’ll be back to reply later. In case you don’t know what WhatsApp Business is, it’s a dedicated app (and service) for businesses, as the name says. Maybe WhatsApp wants to make sure things are smooth before rolling it out to its widest potential markets. I also find it odd that the launch post mentions how businesses in India and Brazil rely on WhatsApp a lot for their communications, but then these two countries aren’t among the list to get it first. Yes, the US, where everyone says they don’t use WhatsApp. The lucky five are: Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, the UK, and the US. Now the app is made official and it’s launching for Android in 5 countries to begin with, with a roll out “around the world” in the coming weeks. Announced in September of 2017 but back then you had to sign up for a beta, register your interest, and hope to be picked to give it a try. Mosh pits in metal are now seen as being similar to those used by cro-magnon mainstream bands such as Five Finger Death Punch. Metal has emerged as a popular forum for intellectual expression. Today, writing songs about moshing and stagediving is no longer an option. They are usually associated with aggressive, fast-paced music and are often considered to be a way for fans to release energy and excitement. When Did Mosh Pits Become A Thing?Ĭredit: Mosh pits became a thing in the mid-1980s as a part of the hardcore punk scene. To summarize moshing etiquette, take care of your fellow human beings. ![]() ![]() It is a dance style that originated in the hardcore punk scene and aims to be energetic and full of body contact. Moshing started in the hardcore punk scene of California and Washington, D.C., over a decade ago. They are an excellent choice for those looking to have an energetic and full-body experience while dancing. Despite the name, mosh pits are still here and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future. Mosh pits are less common at EDM festivals, but they are typically found at larger gatherings, where people dance close to each other. The circle pit is most commonly seen on metal and punk shows, where it is intended to cause maximum body contact. There is a common misconception that the mosh pit is a circle pit, but this is not the case. Mosh pits are supposed to bring people together to share in the music, and this is what they do. When Jerry Ferarel founded Lollapalooza in 1991, a large portion of the area was known as the Mosh Pits. Mosh Pit’s rise from punk and hardcore to thrash metal came during the 1980s. Slam dancing evolved into a more intense form of mosh pit dancing, which evolved into various styles and forms of mosh pits in the 1970s. Punk music took off with the Punk Pogo, a dance hall where punks would bounce around and dance during concerts. Mosh Pits were formed around 1975 in Los Angeles as a result of the Punk Subculture. Many rock and punk shows, it is said, began with moshing. The very first reported incident occurred during the performance of The Weirdos at the Roxy in Orange County. The origins of moshing go back to the 1970s. From fashion to film, dubstep has had a lasting impact on the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. ![]() Today, dubstep is one of the most popular genres of electronic dance music, and its influence can be seen in many different aspects of popular culture. This new style of mosh pit quickly became a staple of the dubstep culture, and it helped to further cement the genre’s place in the mainstream. Unlike the traditional mosh pits of the past, which were often characterized by chaotic violence, the dubstep mosh pits were more organized and choreographed. One of the most notable aspects of dubstep’s rise to popularity was the way in which it brought in a new era of mosh pits. Dubstep quickly began to gain popularity in the underground music scene, and by the mid-2000s, it had begun to crossover into the mainstream. This new style of music was characterized by its heavy basslines and dark, foreboding atmosphere. In the early 2000s, a new style of electronic dance music called dubstep began to emerge in the London underground music scene. ![]() ![]() ![]() With these intuitive and very easy to use tools you can showcase your designs the way they were meant to be, which in.

Now, "Pale Moon" is more seen on the public stage and display brilliant performances.

Thousands of years have passed, and now they pay more attention to the circus business, and members had changed a lot. Nonetheless, as the group traveled around the world for assassinating important people, their popularity has grown gradually, and has become "the best circus of Cray". According to spoken lores, "Pale Moon" started as a mere assassination group, and the business of circus was nothing more than its cover, only performed stealthily.

"They are available for every single charity." Owen Charters, executive director and CEO of, says people should calculate the rest of a charity's numbers themselves to get a fuller picture of its activities. File the annual registered charity information return, maintain adequate books and records and make them available for audit upon request.Ĭ, a charitable organization that sets up online donation applications and provides the public with a list of charities registered with the Canada Revenue Agency, cautions that this raw number isn't the only figure people should use to evaluate a charity.Not use any part of its income for the personal benefit of its members, shareholders or managers.Devote all of its resources to charitable activities, involving one or more of the following categories: the relief of poverty, advancement of education, advancement of religion, or other purposes that benefit the community in a way the courts have said is charitable.To qualify, an organization must be Canadian and meet several requirements apart from the Income Tax Act. More than 80,000 chariaties are registered with the Canada Revenue Agency. On average, 88 cents of every dollar donated to The Salvation Army is used directly in charitable activities - exceeding the Canada Revenue Agency's guideline of 80 per cent "donation efficiency."Ĭanada Revenue Agency guidelines for charities World Vision's 2008 annual report, for example, says 82.1 per cent of its revenue supports programs that combat poverty and help children and communities in need 11.9 per cent is allocated for fundraising and six per cent for administration costs. Different organizations have different levels of overhead. "One hundred per cent of all donations go to support earthquake victims in Haiti," Yele's official website said Monday morning.Īt issue is the percentage of donations that goes toward administration costs. The website said last week that some donations to the Yele Haiti Foundation, founded by Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean, went to Jean's own projects, an allegation he strongly denied over the weekend and again on Monday. The organization says none of its funding is diverted from the people who need it. ((Ricardo Arduengo/Associated Press))As global fundraising efforts for victims of the earthquake in Haiti gain momentum, some people are asking how much of the money collected will end up in the hands of those in need.
