Householders across Great Britain will be able to get even more cash for renewable heating kit, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced today.

The money off vouchers available under the Renewable Heat Premium Payment (RHPP) scheme have been increased to £2,300 for ground source heat pumps, £2,000 for biomass boilers, £1,300 for air source heat pumps and £600 for solar thermal systems.

The RHPP scheme, first launched in July 2011, is designed to encourage householders to switch to renewable heat from traditional heating systems by offering money off the cost of the equipment. The scheme is targeted at those living off the gas grid, where most money on bills and carbon can be saved.

Energy and Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said: “Over 10,000 householders have already taken advantage of money off renewable heating kit and we want to see even more consumers stepping up to the plate and getting on board.

“But I want to go even further. I want to kick start this exciting new market for consumer renewable heat technologies.

“This time limited, big increase in the value of vouchers for hardworking people who want to do something positive to install money saving green heating in their homes, should be a real boost for this growing green sector.”

The scheme was extended in March this year until the end of March 2014 ahead of the launch of a Renewable Heat Incentive for householders, with around £12 million up for grabs.

Alongside changes to the voucher values, householders will now be required to undertake a Green Deal assessment before submitting a claim to the Energy Saving Trust to redeem their voucher.

This will help householders think about how renewable heat could fit with energy efficiency improvements for their home and ensure they are advised on choosing the right technology for them.

The additional voucher values are intended to reflect the cost of a Green Deal assessment, as well as the cost of getting these technologies installed in homes. Householders can also use the Green Deal to pay for some of the cost through savings on their energy bill.

The increased voucher values and Green Deal assessment requirement will kick in for any applications submitted today onwards.

In the Operations Manager event log on the Data Warehouse server you will also see error 33527 appearing constantly.

So how do I solved this issue? There is a solution unfortunately it has some downsides. You can follow these steps:

1. Unregister the Service Manager DW from the Service Manager console.

2. Wait at least one day. I’ve waited two days.

4. Logon to the Analysis Services instance for the Service Manager and delete any existing cubes.

5. Register the Service Manager DW again.

6. Wait one day to see if all DW jobs are finishing successful. Check if Reporting pane is appearing in the console and it is working normally.

7. Check the Operations Manager event log for errors on the DW server.

After these steps everything should be ok with DW jobs. Keep in mind that in your case this solution might not work.

Software I’ve used:

• Windows Server 2012
• SCSM 2012 SP1 UR2
• SQL 2012 SP1

The economy is seemingly back on track in the Bay Area and this fact has been validated by a recent report which shows that employers added 2,600 jobs in the month of April alone.

Thanks to the Employment Development Departments recent report we know that the East Bay added a total of 1,300 jobs although the South Bay lost around 2,000 jobs but, when these numbers are regionally adjusted for the San Francisco/San Mateo/Marin areas, a total gain of 2,600 jobs has been calculated and this calculation has been adjusted for typical seasonal gains.

Statewide Gains

Across California there were close to 10,500 jobs added in the month of April alone and the overall jobless rate in California has gone down to less than 10%; these numbers are the best job statistics that the state California has seen since 2008.

More Jobs Equals Higher Home Values?

East Bay Realtors will tell you that there is a direct correlation between the increase in jobs and increase in home values across the Bay Area and United States as a whole because, when there are more qualified homebuyers who meet the requirements of their lenders competing for homes, this will ultimately drive up prices in any given area.

In the East Bay, the median home price is now $500,000 and it’s only expected to go up as positive growth in the Real Estate and job markets is expected to continue for the rest of 2013 and beyond.

Over 901 million people worldwide use Facebook currently. Of those, an average of 526 million people use Facebook daily. Facebook, as well as Twitter are two of the most common social media platforms which have changed the face of the world. How businesses, individuals and charities operate has been radically affected and influenced by what some term ‘The Facebook Effect’.  When considering the huge amount of users and the ‘virtual communities’ created by the social media channels, No Limits have adapted and increased the mode of online communication. Twitter and Facebook allow content to be shared quickly and easily and encourages user interaction, which websites do not always offer.

No Limits are committed to providing a useful and readily available advice service for young people in the Hampshire area, so it is vital funding opportunities continue. Social media is now integral in this process. A range of social media platforms are utilised, targeting two specific demographics: young people and individuals/businesses who currently or will potentially donate to the charity.

Facebook specifically is ideal for posting current and relevant news articles, as well as No Limits’ blogs written by staff members and volunteers – often relating directly to services provided at No Limits. This encourages cohesion between current affairs and services we offer to the young people who use our charity. In today’s UK’s austere climate young people are struggling with common social concerns, such as: unemployment, homelessness and crime. Using social media platforms to highlight factors contributing to young people’s problems may help to dispel common misconceptions about why they face so much adversity in this country and encourage people to support us financially or through volunteering.

The importance of creating compelling content for our social media users is paramount, so the overall personality of No Limits is consistent, positive, socially and ethically responsible and politically objective.  The aim of social media within the charity is to convert visitors of our multi-channels to No Limits service users, or donators who support the continuation of our vital services through funding.

Over the last month the amount of visitors No Limits’ Facebook page has reached for example, has been increasing and in the last week alone has gone up by 290.78%. The amount of engaged users – those who actively talk about No Limits beyond the parameters of our pages – has increased by 192.86% in seven days. Twitter has seen an increase in re-tweets, suggesting a surge in interest and approval of No Limits’ brand personality and perception.

These figures are encouraging and allow content to be target driven, so we can continue to provide engaging information which is talked about via Twitter and Facebook, thus increasing the awareness of the charity.

The social media arena continues to progress and evolve, signifying the importance of a continuous and stimulating online presence.

What do you think about Facebook and Twitter? Friend or foe?

Like it or not social media is here to stay for now so it must be embraced – not ignored, or we face potentially vanishing into the void of social media oblivion, which in online terms is equivalent to extinction!

“The feeling of uncertainty, without the fear.” — That’s what the Lord offers me, every time…

I just attended another job interview and I just want to thank the Lord for opportunities like these. Even without the job offers yet, I still try to look at the positive side in these invitations to discuss further my qualifications with the company or organization I applied for.

Don’t get me wrong on this one, but I also feel disappointments and frustrations at times, especially when I’m reminded that I am the breadwinner in our family and I have to earn and provide for the soonest possible time. The pressures I feel at home seem to grow more and more each passing day that I feel worthless, useless and inefficient. With all the circumstances that’s been bothering me at home, especially in terms of financial burdens, the more disappointments, frustration and pressure I feel.

Nevertheless, I never forget to pray. ‘Cause even with just a whisper of a short prayer, it simply keeps me motivated and reminds me that the Lord will always provide for my desires and needs, and He will definitely place me in the perfect work place that He knows I’ll be most efficient.

I have sent my CV in a couple of companies, mostly organizations (both in government and non-government). I’ve always wanted to work in an international organization, like: United Nations, UNICEF, WHO, ADB to name some. But so far, I’ve only got 3 interviews (including the appointment I had today). And I’m quite pleased with opportunities like these.

Friends and family sometimes tend to reprimand me how picky I can be. I often get the impression that I will NEVER be hired because of this. It’s because most of the time, I actually tend to decline invitations in which I know that I would not want as a foundation for my career: banks, call-centers or BPOs, real estate, etc. (But that doesn’t mean that I burn bridges. That’s one important thing that I must avoid. So if you have the same situation, just politely decline the invitation and thank them for the opportunity and offer. It’s also a sign of courtesy). Anyway, going back, I remembered how a good friend told me that it is expected from me to have that kind of mindset and approach towards these things: “Knowing you, you wouldn’t settle for anything less, Patty. You would always go for the things that will always help you grow, improve and become better than you are now. You’re that person who knows what she wants and knows how to get them.”

Most of the time, I’ve been mistakenly assumed to be an Advertising student, especially back in college. People who weren’t that much close to me, would say, “Oh? Talaga? DevComm ka pala?” –Yes, I’m a Development Communication graduate majoring in Mass Communication!

That’s why whenever I attend interviews, if ever I’m asked what career path is it that I see myself into, my vision for advocacy and development still haven’t changed. It is still what my heart desires… nevertheless, I’m always very much interested in creatives. Perhaps that’s why I’m often mistaken to be in advertising.

Advertising and Development Communication may be two extremities. One definite factor would be that the other is profit driven, while the other is not; but that doesn’t mean that they do not have anything similar. As I can see it, they may have different objectives, yet the methods how they “market” their product, service or advocacy is somewhat the same. They might just differ in the whole process though. But I know that it’s pretty much the same thing.

In the meantime, I’m still looking for job opportunities where I believe can be a great foundation in the career path I’d like to take, whether it be in Advertising, Broadcasting, Print or Development Communication. And I am more than thankful and welcoming to opportunities that come in times like this. And YES –It would mean a lot also, if you’d be able to recommend some organizations and companies that I might be interested in.

“How we see ourselves shapes our hopes, actions, and—ultimately—our successes. That’s why self-perception is very much essential” (The Idealist Guide to Non-Profit Careers for First-time Job Seekers, p.30).”

Reblogged from Quartz:

Squeeze your employees, and you'll pay the price. Seems obvious—but Ernst & Young has actual evidence. For its annual fraud report the firm surveyed 3,000 company board members, managers and their teams in 36 countries across the world, and found that employees feeling the double pinch of increased demands and fewer financial perks are alarmingly likely to respond by doing anything from fudging the numbers to bribing officials and clients.
