In slechts vijf maanden tijd hebben ruim 4.000 Canario’s ervoor gekozen, om met de uitbetaling van de werkloosheiduitkering ineens, een eigen bedrijf op te zetten, of om vennoot worden bij een coöperatie cq. werkgemeenschap. Dit heeft de Kamer van Koophandel van Tenerife laten weten in een persbericht.

There is no denying that Twitter has had a huge impact on how marketers are thinking about using social media tools for marketing. One thing that is most interesting about it, however, is…
Outvesting aims to give EUR 5,000 with no strings attached to an Irish startup. To make that possible, it’s using Twitter to invite interested participants to contribute EUR 50 each towards the effort. Once EUR 5,000 has been raised—last week it was already up to EUR 4,500—Outvesting will announce how startups can apply. Those who donate to the fund, meanwhile, will get more than just good karma in return—they’ll also get the chance to vote on which startup wins the money.
Werkcoaches en UWV hebben vaak geen idee hoe ze werkzoekenden moeten stimuleren. Dat blijkt uit een afstudeeronderzoek. De ene werkzoekende gaat harder lopen van veel complimentjes, een ander als hij stevig wordt toegesproken. Maar wat werkt bij wie? Welke werkwijze wordt gekozen, hangt nu vaak af van de intuïtie van werkcoaches van gemeente en uitkeringsinstantie UWV. Die intuïtie is bepaald niet feilloos, toont onderzoek van arbeids- en organisatiepsycholoog Ralph van den Bosch aan.

Zojuist een Timedesk werkloosheid List aangemaakt.
Herziening WW-uitkering. Terugvordering. Boete. Werkzaamheden als zelfstandige niet gemeld. Voor de vaststelling van de omvang van de werkzaamheden als zelfstandige zijn niet alleen de gefactureerdeuren van belang, maar ook de uren die zijn besteed aan acquisitie, reistijd, correspondentie, telefoontjes, scholing, administratie en dergelijke.
Geen dringende reden om af te zien van terugvordering. Geen aanleiding om aan te nemen dat appellant wist dat de indirecte uren van belang waren voor de omvang van zijn recht op uitkering, maar die uren niettemin bewust niet heeft opgegeven. Niet nakomen van de inlichtingenplicht is niet verwijtbaar. Boete is ten onrechte opgelegd.
people working in the technology industry who once used RSS readers but had mostly abandoned them in favor of using Twitter to find news and interesting blog posts. I talked to a couple of other friends and posted the question on Twitter, which confirmed that many people are using Twitter as an RSS reader replacement.
Werklozen tussen de 55 en 65 jaar moeten langer de kans krijgen om met behoud van uitkering een bedrijfje op te starten. Nu mogen zij zes maanden proberen de boel van de grond te krijgen, maar dat zouden er twaalf moeten worden.

Between April and September, the hotline received almost 3000 calls from CKWs and our analysis of the questions provides great insight into the questions that are of greatest importance to rural communities. Roughly 2/3 of all questions asked focused on agriculture, with health, education, and news being the next most popular subject areas. Diving deeper into the data we are able to learn more about what, specifically, farmers are asking about agriculture. The following table provides a breakdown of the agriculture-specific questions:
The 10,000 Hour Initiative is aimed at offering a space for younger people to pursue their passions alongside professionals working in the field. The concept is very much inspired by the 826 National Project, which offers kids in the U.S. an after school hours community center where they can work alongside professionals who act as tutors and mentors. The name comes from Malcom Gladwell’s OUTLIERS, where he theorizes that it takes about10,000 hours of practice for anyone to become truly exceptional at doing something. Of course we want to help offer those hours.
