Growing Disciples
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
~ John 13:35
Growing Leaders and Growing Disciples – what do these mean at Portland Christian? Leadership is not only about positions, titles, power, influence, and authority. True leadership is also about service, integrity, humility, courage, and love for one another.
For Christians, it starts with living our lives as followers of Jesus Christ. PCS programs such as Peer Ministry, Digital Discipleship, Serve Day, and Chapel intentionally teach students about these qualities. However, it is by engaging in the day-to-day activities of homework, sports, the arts, clubs, service projects, and even just hanging out with friends, that students put into practice what it truly means to be a disciple who leads by example.

Jerry Jerome Anderson sold $85,000 worth of drugs on Macon streets in a single night. A Macon-Bibb County drug task force busted him and helped in him receiving the first life-without-parole sentence from Middle Georgia federal court in 1991.
But the joint drug task force fizzled out a few years later as the city and county fought about who should run the task force and who should get money seized in drug busts. About 15 years after the task force ended, things are still fizzling. While officials say they like the idea, earlier efforts were doomed by communication problems, distrust and a lack of zeal.
Today, the Macon City Council's public safety committee could take a fresh look at relaunching the joint city-county drug task force. Committee Chairman Virgil Watkins said it's important to strengthen cooperation, particularly as Macon and Bibb County edge toward consolidating their services and governments. Both the county sheriff's department and the police department run separate drug units that already share information.
"I do think in terms of consolidation, any time we can get cross-collaboration between our police department and our sheriff's department, it's good for the community," Watkins said.
The renewed interest comes after Sheriff Jerry Modena talked about the idea with Bibb County commissioners and Macon Councilman Larry Schlesinger.
The county commissioners said they'd asked the city to talk about the idea more than a year ago, but county officials couldn't find a copy of the letter. And city officials said they couldn't find a copy of the letter, either, and speculated it was never sent.
But about two years ago, the city's public safety committee looked over the idea, which withered away in part because of the old concerns about leadership and confiscated drug money, Watkins said.
Modena, who's been calling for the joint drug task force to be revitalized since at least 2001, was its last commander. The task force mastered wiretaps and advanced equipment, and forged partnerships with the FBI, Drug Enforcement Agency and even the Central Intelligence Agency to target big drug dealers.
Anderson, who had an annual payroll of more than $500,000, was the biggest bust; he ultimately was convicted on seven charges. The lead federal prosecutor, Miriam Duke, declared at the time of his conviction, "The king of cocaine has been dethroned." She said that "the younger children looked up to him: They thought he was God. He wasn't. He was just a dope dealer."
The Macon-Bibb task force also targeted a high-profile Panamanian businessman, Carlos Eleta Alamaran, who had been helping undermine Panamanian Gen. Manuel Noriega. For a time, Eleta was kept in Bibb County's jail until federal prosecutors dropped charges of money laundering and drug smuggling.
"I think the history of the Macon-Bibb County Drug Unit shows it was effective and efficient the whole time they were in existence," Modena said.
Different decade, same obstacles
While city and county leaders are vowing greater cooperation on the way toward consolidation, they keep stumbling.
Besides the questions of how the drug task force would be paid for, and how any seized monies would be handled, basic questions of its operation would have to be decided. Modena said the old task force was always led by a sheriff's official, with a city police officer as the No. 2 person. Modena said that's for legal reasons: Sheriff's deputies have jurisdiction across Bibb County, but police officers are only allowed to work within the city and would only have legal responsibility for the city.
Modena said he's reluctant, as well, to deputize city police officers he doesn't directly control.
Deputies are already working in Macon. Deputy Joseph Whitehead was shot to death in March 2006 when he was serving a "no knock" warrant within the city limits on Atherton Street, near Montpelier Avenue. Modena said officers with any agency serving that warrant would have gotten shot.
But the sheriff argues many of the county's drug operations run on both sides of Macon's city limits. And the drug money is fueling the gangs. A joint task force would be more effective, he said.
"It's very apparent that we have a need. Some of the shootings, some of the killings, some of the collateral damage, if you trace it back, it comes back to the drugs," he said.
Growing political support?
Schlesinger, who serves on Macon's Public Safety Committee, said he'd like to discuss a joint drug task force today.
"I think it's a great idea to pool our resources and work together to address what is a common problem everywhere in Bibb County, and a fundamental problem when it comes to Macon and Bibb County and everywhere, actually," Schlesinger said.
In a January meeting, Bibb County commissioners spoke favorably about launching a new joint drug task force.
Bibb County Commission Chairman Sam Hart said he didn't know why the last task force failed, but sees a new one, like consolidation, as a way to work better and more efficiently.
"Communicating together, they can use all the intelligence they receive," Hart said. "It just makes sense to have a joint effort. It worked well having a regional effort, as well."

New York panel on legal education predicaments
From Syracuse Chancellor and former law dean, the observation that what is facing legal education is not a crisis but a "management challenge." Provocative, and not implausible, view that law schools are undergoing processes similar to other sectors of the economy. Less useful, however, is seeing this in abstract terms as a management challenge without undertaking the hard work of describing and proscribing structures for reducing costs and enhancing educational experience.
Also, the optics of having the ABA president along with state court judges is important. The conversation about legal education reform must include many stakeholders. University leaders have especially valuable perspectives; but leaders of the bench and bar are critical to reform efforts as well.

Syd Field is an american screenwriter who has made a lot of money during the last few years out of the Three Act Plot Structure
However his ideas are not just intended as a way of analysing existing films, but also a set of advice for potential film makers.
Act 1- the setup is one of the most important acts as it is what grabs the audience attention. An individual will decide whether they like the film within the first 10 minutes, so it is important for the film-maker to give a sense of what is to come throughout the rest of the film, who the main character is, why should they care for him/her, the location of the film, relationships between the characters and the film's style. The rest of the first 30 minutes they should learn the nature of the problem the hero faces however, this can be left until plot point one.
Act 1- THE SETUP
Act 2- the confrontation. In this section the main character has to face a series of problems that become more and more extreme, and confront their enemies usually quite helplessly. Then there is a mid- point where they begin to turn things around and win this helpless struggle; however by plot point two they realise they have been tackling the problem the wrong way and will be ready for the resolution.
Act 2- THE CONFRONTATION
Act 3- the resolution. The hero takes control in the struggle with their problem (by going to confront their enemy on their own home territory usually) and will achieve a final, decisive victory.

Re: setting fix resolutions for monitorsCarlos_A Jan 26, 2016 11:34 AM (in response to moeller-wedel)
Hello moeller-wedel,
Thank you for contacting the Intel Embedded Community.
In order to better understand this forum, we would like to address the following questions:
Could you please tell us the part number of the processor related to this situation? By the way, could you please tell us if the affected design is your design or is a third party board? In case that it is a third party board, could you please give us all the information related to it?
Could you please inform us the name of the driver and the Operating System (OS) related to this situation ?
Could you please update the BIOS to the latest version, then try to reproduce this problem, and inform us the outcomes of this change?
Please give us all the information requested through the previous questions.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
Best Regards,
Re: setting fix resolutions for monitorsmoeller-wedel Jan 27, 2016 2:49 AM (in response to Carlos_A)
Hello Carlos,
thank you very much for your quick response.
We are using a Kontron KTQ77 Mainboard with an Intel Q77 Chipset. The Board has 3 Video outputs, 1 VGA, 2 Displayport. Each output is connected to a monitor.
The Board is equipped with an Intel Core i7-3770 processor. The OS in use is Windows Embedded Standard 7.
The installed graphics driver is the Intel Graphics Driver 126.96.36.19965.
The BIOS runs the latest version.
Probably I can solve this issue by using EMGD or IEGD. But I am not sure, which driver is compatible with the 3770 and how to set resolutions to be fix with these drivers.
Best Regards,
Re: setting fix resolutions for monitorsCarlos_A Jan 27, 2016 8:29 AM (in response to moeller-wedel)
Hello moeller-wedel,
Thank you for contacting the Intel Embedded Community.
We would like to help you, but you need to contact the manufacturer of your motherboard to receive the further help because they have all the information related to their products. Also, to receive the further drivers, because they have modified the devices where the video, audio, or other features are generated.
In order to help you, as a reference please address your problem to the following web sites:
Technical Support Services - Kontron
Contact Support - Kontron
Intel can give you generic drivers, which are not guaranteed to work properly with your third party motherboard. In case that you need them please use the Intel® Driver Update Utility.
Please keep in mind that the proper drivers and support are provided by the manufacturer of your motherboard.
Best Regards,
Re: setting fix resolutions for monitorsmoeller-wedel Jan 28, 2016 7:47 AM (in response to Carlos_A)
Hello Carlos,
Thank you very much for the contacts.
Kontron provides us with a driver based on the standard one. The feature I am looking for is not possible with that driver. Kontron will only support their standard driver. Who could I contact to get information about the possibilies of the EMGD or IEGD driver? I think only when we configure these drivers correctly we can get the best experience for our customers.
Best Regards,
Re: setting fix resolutions for monitorsCarlos_A Feb 1, 2016 4:11 AM (in response to moeller-wedel)
Hello moeller-wedel,
Thanks for your update.
You need to achieve two goals:
1. Three independent displays
The Ivy Bridge Platform support the following three independent Display configurations:
As you can see it requires two DP ports + a third display that can be of any type.
If the customer's board doesn't have the ports it will require, there is an additional option that is working with Hybrid Multi-Monitor Support: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/intelligent-systems/intel-embedded-media-and-graphics-driver/hybrid-multi-monitor-support-paper.html,
2. Disable AutoDetect mode/or keeping fixed configuration
We have an option called Mode Persistence on the GMA drivers that can be enabled by the manufacturer on the VBIOS, however from Windows 7 onwards the Operating System overrides that setting, thus this is a limitation of the O.S not of the driver, Another possibilities as a work around are to search for third party multi monitor management software that offers the possibility to configure and remember the resolutions, and there are also some special adapters that have the Hot plug signals as always on to fool the system.
This provides more information about the AutoDetect issue on Windows 7: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/how-do-i-prevent-windows-7-from-auto-detecting-my/23efe7ec-ec71-49ff-aa6b-8b9e84fb6cc0
Please let us know if this information is useful to you.
Best Regards,

we tour an Inviting Hamptons-style property in Rumson
by JENNIFER VIKSE
Sitting along more than 300 feet of Navesink River bank in Rumson is a hidden treasure, called Riverblades—a relatively new home,
built in 2005, that is part what was once the immense Borden Estate.
The Hamptons-style shingled coastal house, set on nearly seven lush acres, boasts eight bedrooms, nine full baths, two half
baths, and too many amenities to list, but they're highlighted by spectacular water views.
"This home is set on the premier acreage in Rumson," noted Elaine Eadon of Heritage House Sotheby's International Realty, the listing agent for the property. "The best waterfront in the area is the Navesink River, and this property is one of the very best, if not the best."
While the 300-foot stretch of riverfront behind the house is the site's most spectacular feature, the rest of the property is a pleasant parklike setting of trees and green. An aluminum dock and boatlift sit on the riverbank, while a long driveway, made of paver stone, leads visitors to the front door. Inside the home's double mahogany entry doors, fitted with beveled glass, is a two-story entry foyer that sets the tone for design throughout. The foyer is done in welcoming colors—seaside green with accents of red in both the rug and the Asian-inspired breakfront, with armchairs on either side.
A staircase finished in white with wooden finials begins at the foyer, a half riser making it easy to travel up and down the stairs. The white moulding and faux columns give the space a hint of formality, but without sacrificing its charm.
"This is a very comfortable, warm, and inviting home," noted Eadon. "It's very family-friendly, but at the same time provides a dramatic setting for either indoor or outdoor entertaining."
The living room, with a coffered ceiling, decorative moulding, and
French doors, is delicately balanced by seaside colors on the walls and a beautiful blend of soft hues with pops of red in the furniture. Soft greens and reds in the sofa, beige patterned chairs, a glass cocktail table, and a piano complete the room, which is finished in white accented paneled walls. Outside the living room doors is a bluestone patio, offering Navesink views and a private putting green.
The dining room picks up browns and reds to go with its taupe background. An entire wall is composed of glass double French doors, while a marble surround fireplace is the focal point, with two chandeliers overhead. There is also a pantry off the dining room with cherry mahogany cabinets and a wine refrigerator.
The spacious kitchen offers a clean design. A large wooden table
with chairs sits in front of another graceful set of French doors under glass-bowl chandeliers. Two islands provide seating and ample workspace, and beamed ceilings provide an expansive feel. Glass-door Traulsen refrigerators, Wolf appliances, white custom cabinets, and a second island (made of mahogany) complete the space.
The home draws in natural light for much of the day. "It gets
beautiful natural light," Eadon said.
"It faces northeast, so it gets morning light at the back, facing
the water. Then the sun wraps around to the front of the house."
The master suite, which is on the first floor, uses the same soft fabrics, and in the blue and green hues used in other parts of the ground floor. It includes a sitting room, complete with a fireplace and built-in shelves.
A private deck, a small computer room, and his and her baths add to the master suite's appeal. The bedroom is done in soft hues set off by the light filtering in through the French doors. The mouldings, built-ins, and attention to architectural detail make it an elegant yet comfortable space.
The "his" bathroom includes a steam shower and TV, as well as a spacious walk-in closet with built-in organizers. The "her" variant offers a soaking tub and large shower and a vanity on a tile floor with a round rug that adds a splash of color. The closet is surrounded by built-in cabinets and a pullout vanity, and a tufted oval ottoman in peach sits atop a floral accent rug.
There is a wood-paneled billiard room on the second floor. Then there's the library, a magnificent space with built-in shelving and barrel ceiling adjacent to palladium windows. The sage moulding is offset by the reds in the space—an L-shaped couch under a lamped chandelier, sitting atop a vibrant rug.Downstairs there's a wine cellar and a stage and theater room, complete
with a velvet curtain.
The upstairs bedrooms are well appointed. One has a nautical theme, featuring beige walls accented with splashes of royal blue,
red, and white. A loft bedroom in beige and pink has a sleigh bed and exceptional water views.
A third bedroom features a window seat, covered in green fabric,
looking out over the water. Its pale green walls are accented by bright pink curtains over a shag carpet. Yet another bedroom features yellow and white striped wall coverings and a blue shag rug. Outside that bedroom is a sitting room, decorated in muted tones—its two armchairs, sofa, and overstuffed pillows make it an inviting space.
A large full bathroom has custom white cabinets with latticework detail, and the laundry room features white tile and wallpaper and a farmer's sink on a vanity. Natural light flows in through a porthole window.
The home also features an artist's studio set inside the house's turret. Done in wainscoting with a blue ceiling, the space, flooded with light, offers inspiring water views. In addition, the house includes a separate apartment with a private entrance. "It's a two-bedroom apartment," noted Eadon. "You could have family living there."
There are amenities outside, too. A three-season covered porch has a bluestone floor with radiant heat and a large fireplace, making it an ideal spot to relax—even in November. A stone wall frames the oversized outdoor patio with a firepit, offering panoramic views of the Navesink.
An outdoor kitchen and stone bar are perfect for entertaining, and there's a spa, a pool with river views, and a Japanese-style gazebo overlooking a koi pond.
"It's such a pretty place to just sit and enjoy," said Eadon. "The koi pond is so serene. When you're on this property, it's like being transported to another world."

Western Cape DestinationsZonnebloem, City Bowl
Zonnebloem incorporates part of the historical suburb of District Six, which became a well-known area during the Apartheid regime and the times of forced removals.
These were laws that dictated that non-white folk be forcibly (often violently) removed from their homes (many of which were located in the area now known as Zonnebloem) and sent to informal areas outside of the city during the 1970s. District Six saw 60 000 folk being moved away under tragic circumstances.
Unfortunately, this also meant that many of the homes, mosques, churches and schools of the time were destroyed, robbing the area of Zonnebloem and its surrounds of its distinctive characteristics.
Today, this Cape Town suburb is home to the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and a few police housing units. It is close to the City Bowl with all of its galleries, boutiques, markets, corporate giants, salons, restaurants and entertainment facilities.
Long Street and Kloof Street are also nearby, and full to the brim with exciting things to do and see.

Yeah, that's my kid! No doubt, behind! Granted it's his first year in formal schooling and it's very much pre-k, but I must ask: how are all the other kids this far along? I religiously volunteer in my kid's transitional kindergarten class and I can barely get mine to recognize letters correctly while the rest of the students appear to be rhyming and grasping basic math. One must not compare, I get it. But one can be honest. And my kid is typically behind.
Lot's of reasons for that. 1. My hubby taught our older children basics before schooling even began. In fact, the oldest was fully reading. 2. This child is third in our home and began school earlier than his siblings (he's going to be in kinder two years, so can we consider year one a loss?). 3. He was raised with so much love and care, but no formal schooling. This child of mine was in an at-home day care and in grandmother's care for all of his young life, so basically less counting and more feeding, less learning and more playing. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but here's the kicker.... he rebels with the formality and structure of schooling.
My little guy gets SO frustrated the minute he can't understand something and that's about every other minute. I feel for him and granted I only observe while in class one hour weekly. I felt horrible at first and then I kicked myself for going there. He will catch up. This is normal. And we can help!
We have to be so on top of homework (which is practice time for understanding letters, numbers, and practicing his fine motor skills). We have to never compare him to others. And, we have to keep it cool -- very cool. I want to run when he runs. I want to resist when he resists. Naturally, we can't. The best advice I can give when a kid falls behind is to not fall behind too!
It's easier to let it be when they struggle and we want to claim "their young". We shouldn't. I've been more patient than ever before, but also more involved than I expected to be since my other children seemed to be at the status quo. Being in his class helps, so there's that advantage. The hubby does homework and he's good about making sure our little man fully grasps all he's struggle with before he leaves our homework table.
So to all moms and dads feeling their kid is behind: hang in there, help all you can, and ask for more help if you're not seeing a gradual improvement. In our case, my kiddo appears to take a while to grasp a lot, but he always ends up coming through in the end with a clear illustration that he's getting this school thing after all. Now, if only all the other kids would slow down... I kid, I kid.

Florida has more than 320 FFA Chapters with more than 15,000 students and projects and expects a 30% increase over the next three years. Chapter activities include some 130 competitive events supported by every sector of the state's diverse agricultural industry.
Academic scholarships have been a tradition for the Florida FFA Foundation for many years. The fact is, we need more scholarships to attract students to become teachers of agriscience education. With 450 agriscience teachers in Florida taking in to consideration attrition, new openings and some teachers leaving for industry positions we have to constantly challenge our young people to consider teaching as a noble and honorable profession. The shortage of qualified agriscience teachers is the greatest challenge facing agriscience education and FFA.
Our objective is to equip and encourage students to choose careers in agriculture and agri-science. Today, they can continue their commitment to agriculture by choosing from more than 300 careers in agriculture and related fields. To help these students, each year the Florida FFA Foundation provides scholarships to graduating students who have chosen one of these fields and will be attending the University of Florida.

Introductory Hunting Package 'Thank You'
James and Ken, I just wanted to say thank for the hunting at Anderson Creek Hunting Preserve. My sons really enjoyed it (as this is their first time hunting upland game birds). I spoke with Ken about a number of things, and I did not realize you had the shooting range among other things. I would like to attend one of your upcoming tower hunts with my sons and am interested in the possibility of hunting coyotes that Ken mentioned to me. None the less, I am glad that we tried it out, and look forward to doing some hunts and such again. Thank you, Shane

James, Thanks to you and Ken at Anderson Creek Hunting Preserve, NC for a great morning hunt. I brought my son, a friend and his boys and we had a great time. It was wonderful for the boys to take what they have been learning to get some real experience. Thank you and we will see you again.

In recent years, the Philadelphia area has been home to a growing community of rising tech stars. Last month at the CardConnect offices, approximately 40 of those stars came together for FinTech PHL's fourth official meetup, "Tech Innovation and Growth at CardConnect," which also happened to be the first one of the year.
If you aren't familiar with FinTech PHL, let's back up. An organization formed in 2015, it "brings together technologists, business leaders, entrepreneurs and academics who are interested in the convergence of financial services and technology."
They've got three areas of focus:
1. Promote the work of local companies
2. Connect local talent with hiring managers
3. Nurture a community of innovators and collaborators right here in Philadelphia
Over a dinner of Chipotle and beer, tech leaders, passionate entrepreneurs and growing professionals spent time meeting one another and talking about their latest endeavors, and what's been happening in the Philly tech scene lately.
While some were caught up in energetic conversation, others took tours of the new CardConnect offices. After the group had done some valuable networking, CardConnect COO Patrick Shanahan and VP of Technology Nick Aceto took the stage and shared some insights about the tech evolution of CardConnect's payment processing solutions like the CardPointe platform, and what's been coming down the pipeline. They also shared details about the network of different teams at CardConnect, both operational and technological, and available opportunities for those interested.
We were thrilled to host such an enthusiastic group of tech pros and we thank the night's organizer and FinTech PHL leader David Whitaker for the opportunity. Here's to many more meetups!

A few days ago we made another widget. It's a clock which appear like a scope of an old radar. You can see the clock hands which are similar to signals of airplanes with simple jammers that block the range detection possibility.
You can vary the antenna velocity from one rpm (so the radar beam is moving like a second hand) to sixty (very-very fast). Default value is ten seconds per one revolution because it is close to the velocity of most of real radar antennas.

Today has been a day of mixed emotion. I had a wonderful friend visit me last night. We laughed, she brought me dessert, and I ate and ate and ate late last night and early this morning to the point that I felt sick. I shared with her how this grief makes me feel like I am wearing a 600 lb suit of armor and even simple tasks like unloading the dishwasher are unbelievably hard. She understood. She has felt this type of grief and much worse. So there is hope in her life of coping. There is hope in her words of encouragement. There is strength provided to feel the hurt, embrace the loss of mom and put one foot in front of the other towards a day when the suit of armor feels like a badge of honor because I was blessed to have my mom as my mother.
Hearing that, knowing that, resolving to love, grieving to live....Today has still been one of the hardest. Kaden's Nintendo DS has been broken for a few weeks. Yesterday, as he was watching Carder play his and NOT whining, I realized that was what mom bought him for Christmas. I just couldn't stand it. So we went today and got a new one. I recognize it probably wasn't the brightest move in parenting, but it felt so good to watch his little smile. I could just hear mom say, "It doesn't matter how it broke, I'm GaGa and its my present." Of course, then I got Carder a game because she never bought for one and not the other. This made me feel great and sad all at the same time.
I'm taking a friend to the airport today, and then I think we are going to sit by the fire tonight with the boys. Dad went fishing today and I'm waiting to hear from him as to how it went. I'm hoping he'll have some stories to tell the boys.
This blog, this year, 2012, is a tribute to my mother, Norma Carder. She would have turned 60 on July 29th. What started out as a blog for healing in 2009, will hopefully turn into a recording of a GREAT life in her honor this year. My goal is to blog once a week about my journey to accomplish 60 tasks that will make me a stronger, healthier, kinder, more well-rounded woman. In an effort to live the way she lived, I am choosing to live a GREAT LIFE.

Weblog and Idea Spot for Quilters

Laying It Out
Posted by tirane93 at 08:50

Wow, I LOVE what you came up with for the pink/purple one. The circles really set off those blocks.ReplyDelete
The Maple Rails arrangement is great but you're right, it needs something. Either more of the ivory background close to the center section, or maybe eliminate any maple leaves that are cut in half. There does need to be more distinction between the center and the borders, though, I think.
They will both be beautiful when you're done!
too many leaves - cut out some and save for something else.ReplyDelete
another border wouldn't hurt either.
how about a different color for the outer border? maybe a dark.. purple, orange, red/rust? or make the cream stay, smaller, then a darker?
over all a great plan, I like the center on point
like the purple and pinks, too, who will execute the circles?
I love what you did with the patch quilt. Circles....who is appliqueing all those? :DReplyDelete
I see what you are saying about center. Maybe make the setting triangles right next to the center all muslin/white (whatever you are using) to give you lots of quilting space and then just put the maple leaf blocks as a border around that.
OK, you are going to force me to learn how to applique aren't you?!ReplyDelete
I LOVE the circles...I'll gather some pinks and purples for our next get together and someone's gonna have to show me what to do. We can do that after I finish the borders on the spiderweb.
I agree with their ideas about the Fall quilt- I think take out the 1/2 leaves and have some cream area for your wonderful quilting and then some leaves. Not sure I like the scrappy border idea but let me think about it.
thanks as always for your help :)
Those circles are a great idea! I forget about circles in amongst all the squares and triangles.ReplyDelete
You did great on both layouts.ReplyDelete
I think you have gotten some good suggestions, but I must say, I like the half leaves. Maybe just add another inner border to make the center pop a little more.

The irresistible rise of PINK wine continues a-pace. The Grande Dame of PINK, Mateus, now offers 3 different shades of the stuff and every brand and his dog seem to have gone PINK.
Meanwhile the clever boys at Stormhoek, led by the redoubtable Macleod-borg are pushing PINK wine as a classy way to dress – spotted in Edinburgh, Couture on an A-board.

I grew up with Cray in my mind as the gold standard of Computers That Go Fast – I know it's different nowadays.
Looking around the room here, I can't imaging many of the guys not wanting a rig like Scott Hanselman's. Follow the links to the articles (part 1, part 2, part 3) on it's build – this thing should have go-faster stripes.
Imaging not having to wait for your computer to do stuff.
Imagine not having Vista eating 100% of your (single Pentium M 1.6Ghz) processor after coming off standby.

You Always Wondered, Didn't You…
A bound morpheme is such a useful thing, we accept them and happily use them in our everyday lives without knowing there was such a thing. Beautiful stuff, language.
No Sh*t Sherlock…
Here's a brilliant insight – stop e-voting until you've worked out how you want to modernise elections.
After the Holyrood election debacle in Scotland we have learned that even when still marking paper, we can't do it properly when there is an electronic component.
It is taking the US of A years of painful debate and dubious results in some elections to even get around to letting people test the electronic systems (which they have been using for years). What happens there gets here eventually.
This paper (about hacking voting systems) from the office of the Secretary of State for California says in the summary – "The red teams demonstrated that, under these conditions, the technology and security of all three systems could be compromised.".
Rebecca Mercuri has lots of good links.

1.1 This is a statement of the data protection policy of Global Response Partners UK Limited (the Company, we, us or our). This together with the Privacy Policy is designed to ensure that the Company is compliant with the Data Protection Act 1998 (the Act). The Act is designed to protect the use of individuals' personal data and to provide them with certain rights regarding their personal data held by organisations.
1.2 The Company is required to notify the Information Commissioner of what data it processes, and how that data is used, before it processes any data. The Company has a current notification with the Information Commissioner which is attached at Appendix 1.
1.3 This policy has been approved by the board of directors. The board of directors are ultimately responsible for ensuring the Company complies with the Act. The Company's Data Protection Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring day to day compliance with the Act and with this policy. The Data Protection Compliance Officer is Chris Downes, who can be contacted via email at - firstname.lastname@example.com This policy is not part of any contract of employment with the Company and the Company may amend it at any time. However, it is a condition of employment that employees will adhere to the rules of this policy.
1.4 The Company processes personal information to enable us to promote our goods and services, to maintain our accounts and records and to support and manage our staff.
2.1 The Company needs to collect personal information about people with who it deals in order to carry out its business as a credit broker and to provide other marketing services. We process personal information about our employees, customers, suppliers and service providers, advisers, consultants and other professional experts and enquiries.
2.2 In addition, we may occasionally be required to collect and use certain types of personal information to comply with the requirements of the law. No matter how it is collected, recorded and used (e.g. on a computer or on paper) this personal information must be dealt with properly to ensure compliance with the Act.
2.3 Personal information can be factual (such as name, address or date of birth) or it can be opinion (such as a performance appraisal).
2.4 The lawful and proper treatment of personal information by the Company is extremely important to the success of our business and in order to maintain the confidence of our employees and customers. All employees of the Company have a responsibility for ensuring that the Company respects personal information and deals with it in a lawful and correct manner.
2.5 The Company is a data controller under the Act, as we determine the purpose for which and the manner in which any personal data are processed.
3.1 There are two types of data protected under the Act: personal data and sensitive personal data.
3.2 Personal data is data that relate to a living individual who can be identified from those data or from those data and other information which is in the possession of or is likely to come into the control of a data controller. It also includes any expression of opinion about a person.
3.3 Sensitive personal data is information relating to a person's:
3.3.1 racial or ethnic origin;
3.3.2 political opinions;
3.3.3 religious or other similar beliefs;
3.3.4 trade union membership;
3.3.5 physical or mental health;
3.3.6 sexual life; and
3.3.7 criminal proceedings or convictions (including any alleged offence).
3.4 There are more stringent restrictions under the Act for the processing of sensitive personal data. Although we will not ordinarily be acquiring sensitive personal data from our customers, we may process such data in connection with employees. We will only ever process such data when we have the express written consent of the data subject to do so.
Processing is, essentially, anything that can be done to the information, including; obtaining, storing and transferring the data. All processing must be done in accordance with the Act, which restricts how data can be processed.
5.1 We support fully and comply with the eight data protection principles of the Act which are summarised below:
5.1.1 Personal data shall be processed fairly and lawfully.
5.1.2 Personal data shall be obtained for one or more specific purpose(s) and processed in a manner compatible with that or those purpose(s).
5.1.3 Personal data held must be adequate, relevant and not excessive.
5.1.4 Personal data must be accurate and kept up to date.
5.1.5 Personal data shall not be kept for longer than necessary.
5.1.6 Personal data shall be processed in accordance with the rights of data subjects.
5.1.7 Personal data must be kept secure.
5.1.8 Personal data shall only be transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) if there is adequate protection in that country for data subjects.
6.1 Global Response Partners LLC is a US registered limited liability company within the same group as the Company. Therefore, we may need to transfer data to Global Response Partners LLC which is located outside of the EEA. Any transfers made will be in compliance with principle 8 as set out above.
6.2 Given the recent decision of the European Court of Justice in Case C-362/14: Maximillian Schrems v Data Protection Commissioner, we no longer rely upon Global Response Partners LLC's safe harbor membership to facilitate such transfer but implement additional protections to ensure equivalent protection.
6.3 For guidance as to when data can be transferred outside the EEA, please contact the Data Protection Compliance Officer.
7.1 Our employees, customers and any third parties whose data we acquire and process must be fully informed of the fair and lawful processing the Company will be undertaking and should not be taken by surprise. We must ensure that they are provided with:
7.1.1 the identity of the data controller i.e. the Company;
7.1.2 if applicable, the identity of a nominated representative with whom they can raise any data protection issues;
7.1.3 the purpose for which the data is intended to be processed; and
7.1.4 any further information necessary to enable data processing in a fair way.
7.2 The Company has a privacy policy on its website setting out the ways in which it will process customers' personal data.
7.3 The Company will process data about its employees in accordance with the Information Commissioner's Employment Practices Code. This will include regular checks to be carried out by the Data Protection Compliance Officer to ensure that records are not irrelevant, excessive or out-of- date.
We must have a clear reason for processing data and this reason needs to be communicated to the data subject, normally by way of our Privacy Policy. We are not permitted to collect data for one purpose and start to process it for a different purpose.
9.1 Personal data will only be collected to the extent that it is required for a specified purpose notified to the customer or employee. It is not true that the more data we hold, the better our records are.
9.2 We will not collect data from a data subject on the off-chance that it may be needed in the future.
Personal data will be accurate and kept up to date. Information which is incorrect or misleading is not accurate and steps will therefore be taken to check the accuracy of any personal data at the point of collection and at regular intervals afterwards. Inaccurate or out-of- date data will be destroyed.
11.1 Personal data should only be kept as long as it is necessary i.e. the Company should only keep data for as long as it serves its purpose.
11.2 We will retain personal data for a minimum of six years which is the limitation period for a claim for a breach of contract. Data may be retained longer where appropriate (for example, if a customer is longstanding for over six years).
12.1 Data will be processed in accordance with the data subject's rights. Data subjects are entitled to:
12.1.1 request access to any data held about them by a data controller (known as a subject access request);
12.1.2 prevent the processing of their data for direct-marketing purposes;
12.1.3 ask to have inaccurate data amended;
12.1.4 prevent processing that is likely to cause unwarranted substantial damage or distress to themselves or anyone else; and
12.1.5 object to any decision that significantly affects them being taken solely by a computer or other automated process.
12.2 A subject access request must be made in writing, so if you receive an oral request, you should ask for it to be put in writing. A fee of £10.00 is also payable. If you receive a subject access request, you should pass it immediately to the Data Protection Compliance Officer, who will deal with it appropriately, as the Company is required by law to respond to a subject access request within 40 days. The Company's guidance on responding to Subject Access Requests is attached at Appendix 2.
13.1 The Company must ensure that appropriate security measures are taken against unlawful or unauthorised processing of personal data, and against the accidental loss of, or damage to, personal data. Individuals may apply to the courts for compensation if they have suffered damage or distress from such a loss.
13.2 The Act requires the Company to put in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of all personal data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. Maintaining data security means guaranteeing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal data, defined as follows:
13.3 Confidentiality means that only people who are authorised to use the data can access it.
13.4 Integrity means that personal data should be accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
13.5 Availability means that authorised users should be able to access the data if they need it for authorised purposes. Personal data should therefore only be stored on the Company's central computer system and not on individual desktop PCs.
13.6 When data is stored on paper, it should be kept in a secure place where unauthorised people cannot see it.
13.7 These guidelines also apply to data that is usually stored electronically but has been printed out for some reason:
13.7.1 when not required, the paper or files should be kept in a locked drawer or filing cabinet;
13.7.2 employees should make sure paper and printouts are not left where unauthorised people could see them, like on a printer; and
13.7.3 data printouts should be shredded and disposed of securely when no longer required.
13.8 When data is stored electronically, it must be protected from unauthorised access, accidental deletion and malicious hacking attempts.
13.8.1 Data should be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly and never shared between employees. You should also always lock or log of your computer, laptop, ipad or other electronic device when left unattended.
13.8.2 If data is stored on removable media (like a CD, DVD or USB stick), these should be kept locked away securely when not being used.
13.8.3 Data should only be stored on designated drives and servers.
13.8.4 Servers containing personal data should be sited in a secure location, away from general office space.
13.8.5 Data should be backed up frequently. Those backups should be tested regularly, in line with the Company's standard backup procedures.
13.8.6 Data should never be saved directly to laptops or other mobile devices like tablets or smart phones.
13.8.7 All servers and computers containing data should be protected by approved security software and a firewall.
13.8.8 Where appropriate, data must be encrypted before being transferred electronically.
13.8.9 Employees should not save copies of personal data to their own computers. Always access and update the central copy of any data.
13.9 Any stranger seen in entry-controlled areas should be reported.
14.1 The Company may sell or disclose contacts/marketing lists to selected third parties or Broker Partners, including those individuals/organisations that help us to provide our services or promote products or service of others. Such disclosure will only be undertaken in accordance with the principles, with the consent of the data subjects and subject to the authority of a director or senior member of staff.
14.2 The Company will complete its due diligence checklist in relation to any organisation that sells a marketing list to the Company before we use the list. The Company must be satisfied that the third party has obtained the necessary specific and informed consent for us to market to the individuals on the list. A copy of the due diligence is at Appendix 3. The Company will conduct on-going monitoring and will conduct an audit every six months.
14.3 Any employee found to have disclosed personal data to anyone outside of the Company, selected third parties, or anyone other than the data subject him/herself may face disciplinary proceedings. In serious cases, the employee may face dismissal.
15.1 We strive to ensure that none of our customers or employees feels aggrieved by the way in which we process their personal data.
15.2 We must always give our data subjects the opportunity to opt-out of marketing communications and to be removed from our mailing lists. This is dealt with in the privacy policy available on our website and implemented via 'unsubscribe' options in our emails, text messages and on the website.
15.3 In certain situations, we can infer that consent has been provided by an individual. For instance, if we take a call from a potential customer and they provide their name and telephone number in order for someone to call them back, we can infer that they have consented to us recording those details for the purposes of returning their call.
15.4 If we are to collect sensitive personal data from a data subject (whether that individual is a customer or an employee), we must obtain the data subject's explicit consent before we collect and process the information.
16.1 We are able to send electronic marketing messages (such as emails, text messages and other mobile marketing) to our customers if the customer has previously provided consent to receive such electronic marketing. The electronic marketing message must identify who we are and must allow the individual to opt-out of receiving more emails from us.
16.2 However, we do not need the individual's prior express consent to send electronic marketing messages if we can satisfy the following three criteria (known as the "soft opt-in"):
16.2.1 the contact's personal data was supplied in the course of a sale/negotiations for a sale;
16.2.2 the promotional messages relate to the Company's similar products (i.e. similar to those originally offered/sold); and
16.2.3 the contact was originally given the opportunity to opt-out of receiving the promotional messages but did not take it.
16.3 We cannot rely on the soft opt-in where we pass personal data to third parties for those third parties to send electronic marketing communications. In such circumstances we must obtain express opt-in consent which is specific and informed.
16.4 The Data Protection Compliance Officer should be consulted before electronic communications are sent.
17.1 All employees will, through appropriate training and responsible management:
17.1.1 observe all forms of guidance, codes of practice and procedures about the collection and use of personal information;
17.1.2 understand fully the purposes for which the Company uses personal information;
17.1.3 collect and process appropriate information only in accordance with the purposes for which it is to be used by the Company to meet its business needs or legal requirements;
17.1.4 only access personal data that they require to carry out their jobs properly;
17.1.5 ensure the information is inputted correctly into the Company's systems by following the Company's standard format;
17.1.6 employees should all take reasonable steps to ensure that data is kept as accurate and up to date as possible, including updating data as inaccuracies are discovered and confirming customer's details when they call;
17.1.7 ensure the information is destroyed (in accordance with the provisions of the Act) when it is no longer required;
17.1.8 on receipt of a request from an individual for information held about them by or on behalf of the Company immediately notify the Data Protection Compliance Officer; and
17.1.9 deal with all personal information in accordance with the Company's security procedures.
17.2 Any breach of the Act and the Company's data protection policy shall be viewed as misconduct and in extreme cases may lead to summary dismissal.
18.1 The Data Protection Compliance Officer is responsible for:
18.1.1 keeping the board updated about data protection responsibilities, risks and issues;
18.1.2 reviewing all data protection procedures and related policies;
18.1.3 arranging data protection training and advice for the people covered by this policy;
18.1.4 dealing with subject access requests;
18.1.5 checking and approving any contracts or agreements with third parties that include the transfer or use of personal data.
18.1.6 ensuring all systems, services and equipment used for storing data meet acceptable security standards;
18.1.7 ensuring that the due diligence checklist (at Appendix 3) is completed before the Company sends marketing communications to individuals on any such list;
18.1.8 performing regular checks and scans to ensure security hardware and software is functioning properly; and
18.1.9 evaluating any third-party services the company is considering using to store or process data.
19.1 The Company will:
19.1.1 provide training for all staff members who handle personal information (if an employee is unsure of his or her responsibilities he or she should notify the Data Protection Compliance Officer who will consider whether further training is necessary);
19.1.2 provide clear lines of reporting and supervision for compliance with data protection;
19.1.3 carry out regular checks to monitor and assess new processing of personal data and to ensure the Company's notification to the Information Commissioner is updated to take account of any changes in processing of personal data; and
19.1.4 undertake suitable and sufficient monitoring, including spot checks without notice, to ensure that the Act and this policy are being complied with by the Company and all its employees
Global Response Partners LLC (GRP) considers it the duty of its employees, contractors, and members of its broker network (also referred to as Broker partners) to deal with all individuals they come into contact with respectfully and professionally. In particular, we realise the importance of protecting vulnerable people. We aim to follow the Financial Conduct Authority's recommended best practices in encouraging a consistent and best practice approach towards consumers in the financial market.
This Policy sets out our approach to dealing with vulnerable consumers. It is implemented within the business and all Broker partners are required to confirm compliance with the terms of this Policy as part of their contractual agreement with GRP.
Under FCA rules, in particular those set out in the Consumer Credit Sourcebook (CONC), we are required to establish and implement clear, effective and appropriate policies and procedures for ensuring the fair and appropriate treatment of customers who we understand or reasonably suspect to be particularly vulnerable.
This policy sets out the Company's approach to the recognition and appropriate treatment of vulnerable customers, in order to ensure that the service provided is suitable for their needs and that the customer is not placed at risk of detriment as a result of their vulnerability.
We do not expect employees, representatives or Broker partners to be health professionals or social workers, but we do require common sense judgements to be made to ensure that we achieve fair outcomes for consumers.
Breaches of this policy or the underlying procedures will be considered as a disciplinary matter or (in the context of Broker partners) as a potential contractual breach.
Vulnerability is hard to define, as it is a subjective term in part. The Financial Conduct Authority broadly describes a vulnerable consumer as someone, due to their personal circumstances, is especially susceptible to detriment.
A person can be vulnerable due to a large number of both short and long term problems.
Short term problems may include unemployment, bereavement or caring responsibilities, long term problems can include financial literacy, health and an ageing society, all of which can temporarily push consumers into vulnerable circumstances. The following are all potential indicators of vulnerability
These categories are by no means exhaustive, nor do they mean that a consumer is automatically vulnerable if they experience these problems, however, if these problems are apparent, this must be treated as an indicator that a consumer is more likely to be vulnerable than the average consumer, and the provisions of this Policy should be applied in all dealings with that customer throughout the period they remain vulnerable.
Vulnerability can manifest itself in a number of ways when looking at people's use of consumer credit, for example, people can choose the wrong product, pay a high price due to poor credit choices, and fail to obtain the right product for their needs or be treated unfairly by their credit provider. The most significant detriment can occur when people get into unmanageable, or problem debt through the use of consumer credit.
A person's ability to make a decision is their mental capacity. This allows a consumer to understand, remember, and choose from the relevant information provided to them and to reach and communicate a responsible decision based on that information.
Any person who may not have the mental capacity to make such a responsible decision is classed as being a consumer in a vulnerable person although not all consumers in vulnerable circumstances will have issues regarding mental capacity.
Our policy objective is to ensure that vulnerable consumers are recognised and protected and to prevent and reduce the risk of any harm to vulnerable adults from abuse or other forms of exploitation in connection to the service we, and or our partners or members of our Network provide.
There are two main mediums operated by GRP and its network members.
By telephone
Our Broker partners operate call centres where interaction with consumers is carried out over a telephone collecting personal data from consumers seeking to secure some form of consumer credit. All our Broker partners are required to train their staff and have in place policies to ensure they are able to identify a consumer who may be vulnerable, including, but not limited to, a consumer who demonstrates difficulties with language, age or understanding of the product they have applied for.
Through the Internet
Our Broker partners operate websites through which consumers may apply for consumer credit products. This medium restricts the degree of interaction with consumers as it is a medium that is almost exclusively electronic and distant in its contact.
It involves gathering personal data from consumers who are searching for consumer credit in order for a lender to assess the information, and reach a decision either to grant or refuse the application for a loan. Once a lender, product or service provider has made their decision, GRP and its Broker partners hand over the responsibility to the product provider.
In this instance, it may be difficult for the assessment of vulnerability to be conclusive as an application form does not always demonstrate that the consumer lacks the mental capacity to make a responsible decision. However, where factors are identified which give rise to concerns, for example inconsistent or contradictory information being offered by a customer, GRP and its Broker partners will intervene to seek to assess whether this is an indication of vulnerability. Such intervention may involve contacting the customer directly to discuss their on-line application.
Regardless, all elements of our business have treating consumers fairly at its core. This includes a focus on recognising when a consumer demonstrates signs of being vulnerable and ensuring the service that we and our Broker partners provide is suitable for their needs and does not place them at risk of detriment as a result of their vulnerability.
The Company aims to achieve the following outcomes when dealing with vulnerable customers:
GRP and our Broker partners may be the first point of contact for a customer, before they reach the lender, product or service provider. Whilst the lenders or providers of consumer credit products will have their own vulnerability policies in place, we believe that all parts of the consumer's journey must ensure that wherever possible, vulnerable consumers are recognised and protected by taking the following steps:
1. GRP and our Broker partners may have cause to communicate directly to consumers and as such, the correspondence may demonstrate that the consumer is vulnerable, training on how to deal with this vulnerability has been provided at all stages on the consumers journey both directly, and through those we deal with.
2. GRP and our Broker partners take precautions within any advertising or marketing to ensure that consumers, including vulnerable consumers, are provided with clear and fair information about the service or product they may be offered and not misled or improperly incentivised to take up the offer of this product to their detriment.
3. If any form of direct interaction with a consumer brings GRP or our Broker partners to conclude that the consumers is vulnerable, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure this is communicated to our Broker partners to ensure they are able to act upon their own vulnerable consumer policies. This will normally involve declining the customer from the promotion or service.
4. GRP and our Broker partners will bring to the attention of the Director any identification of a vulnerable person for additional support, and record these requests for additional support in line with data protection requirements. These requests will be communicated with those who interact directly with the consumer within the framework of the consumer's journey.
Currently the UK Director, Chris Downes, has the day to day responsibility for enforcing the vulnerable consumer policy which will be maintained and reported at the regular GRP board meetings and through regular interaction within our network and its members.
The treatment of vulnerable consumers is constantly reviewed and forms part of our broader compliance policy, our approach will be adjusted and optimised based on any such monitoring.
This policy will be reviewed at a minimum of annually, or upon changes within the regulatory framework or as a result of developments within our monitoring activities.
GRP is committed to providing the highest standard of products and services to our customers. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of our service and to achieve this, ensuring all customers are treated fairly is at the centre of the business. This forms part of our overall compliance policy, our committed to treating our customers fairly in accordance with the Financial Conduct Authority's Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) Principles.
All of our staff are fully trained on commencement of their employment, and continue to receive further training, to ensure that customers are treated fairly and that our TCF Principles are fully adhered to.
This TCF policy is designed to follow the six key guidelines as outlined by the FCA:
1. Consumers can be confident that they are dealing with firms where the fair treatment of customers is central to the corporate culture.
2. Products and services marketed and sold in the retail market are designed to meet the needs of identified consumer groups and are target accordingly.
3. Consumers are provided with clear information and are kept appropriately informed before, during and after the point of sale.
4. Where customers receive advice, the advice is suitable and takes account of their circumstances.
5. Consumers are provided with products that perform as firms have led them to expect, and the associated service is both of an acceptable standard and as they have been led to expect.
6. Consumers do not face unreasonable post-sale barriers imposed by firms to change product, switch provider, submit a claim or make a complaint.
GRP'S role is to introduce consumers to Product or service offerings through its Broker Partners. GRP recognises that it has an obligation to meet the FCA's principles for business in all its dealings with customers and trading partners to ensure that customers are treated fairly in the provisions of fair, clear and transparent information, which does not mislead directly or indirectly by content, format or omission to facilitate them making informed choices when using our services or the services of any lender or other financial services or product provider to which we may introduce them to.
The following areas are where GRP's activities present particularly high risks and our controls and procedures to avert such risks:
Breach of Conduct of Business Standards for a Credit Broker
GRP is a credit broker which makes introductions to providers of credit products and services to consumers. To ensure the interests of the customer are always put first, GRP do not collect data from the consumer and merely display a selection of offers for the consumer to consider, without giving any guidance, advice or bias towards any product or service offered by the Broker Partners of GRP. The service is provided equally and fairly to all customers.
Risks exist in promoting one service over another, or guiding or suggesting that a product is suitable for the needs of the consumer, without firstly understanding the circumstances of the individual consumer. Accordingly, GRP shall implement the following mitigation procedures:
Consumer Confusion in relation to Credit Brokers vs. Lenders
An adverse potential confusion is a consumer understanding the difference between a credit broker, lender, and other consumer credit based service providers. This generates a risk of unfairness and a lack of transparency as consumers may be confused and think that all promotions they receive are by direct lenders.
GRP will mitigate this risk of confusion by the following methods:
Financial Promotions
In order to introduce consumers to financial service providers, GRP must make consumers aware of lenders, product and service providers that can provide these financial services.
Accordingly, GRP will be involved in financial promotions through its Broker Partner network and its own data sources.
There are specific advertising standards and regulations, in particular the consumer credit products or services to which GRP will promote to consumers, including CONC 3, governing financial promotions relating to consumer credit. Accordingly, GRP must ensure that its introductions are to regulated consumer credit lenders, product and service providers, and are suitable to the consumers needs. Accordingly, the following procedures will be adopted:

Boiler upgrade scheme extended to 8,000 more homes
More Homeowners Across Northern Ireland Can Now Register For A New Boiler Replacement Scheme
Thursday 22 August 2013
Local homes could soon benefit from new, efficient boilers after an additional £6million was allocated to the Department for Social Development's boiler replacement scheme.
The additional money, secured from the European Regional Development Fund, will increase the numbers of homes likely to benefit from the scheme from 16,000 to 24,000.
More than 6,500 households across Northern Ireland, have already had new boilers installed since DSD Minister Nelson McCausland announced the scheme in September last year.
Making the announcement, Minister McCausland said: "This scheme has been hugely successful, with on average around 600 installations a month. I am delighted that this additional money will see many more of those most in need benefiting. In less than a year, more than 6,500 homes have had new boilers installed, each one seeing an increase in thermal efficiency. More than 70 percent of those with new boilers are also on lower incomes, exactly the kind of people I wanted to support.
"With this money now in place, I want to encourage others to take advantage of these possible savings – potentially £2,700 over ten years in an average three bedroom semi-detached house. Now is the ideal time to get the work done and I would encourage anyone whose household income is less than £40,000 a year with an inefficient boiler of at least 15 years to contact the Housing Executive on 03448 920900 or log onto www.nidirect.gov.uk/boiler-replacement "
The scheme offers owner occupiers a grant of up to £1,000 to replace inefficient boilers with energy efficient condensing oil or gas boilers, switching from oil to gas, or switching to a wood pellet boiler. It is available to those who earn less than £40,000 a year with an inefficient boiler of at least 15 years and is dependent on total gross income.
Check out our Boilers and Flues section to view our range of energy efficient condensing boilers. Or drop into your local branch to find out more.

A SCOTS gardener has been left with huge blisters and second degree burns after working outside during the heatwave.
Greg Binnie, 20, spent seven hours mowing lawns and watering plants in the sizzling heat in Dumfries last weekend without wearing any suncream.
The fair-skinned 20-year-old has now been left with blistering burns after claiming he didn't realise how intense the sun in Dumfries was.
Gutted Greg was working overtime to pay for a lad's holiday in Ibiza this summer but he has been bed-bound ever since and signed off work until Thursday.
He said: "I did notice that I was feeling incredibly hot on the Saturday but I just put this down to me cutting the grass.
"I first realised the severity of it on the Sunday night when I got home from work, as it had blistered up massively.
"The areas worst affected are my neck and shoulders and as I am incredibly fair skinned I do find myself quite sensitive to the sun.
"My mum and dad were shocked as they couldn't believe how it had turned out, they have been brand new in helping me out as I have been stuck in bed since.
"I have been to the local pharmacy who advised me to keep using Sudocrem and Aloe Vera spray, although I have started to use natural yogurt to treat it as a lot of people online recommended this and I'm already seeing a difference."
Greg is now warning others to be careful in the sun after Wednesday saw the hottest June day in 40 years as temperatures soared to 33.9C.
He said: "It is incredibly painful, especially for basic things such as moving my arms and lying down. I've been trying to sleep on my front but not having much luck.
"My warning to others would be don't be naive. I only just got back from a month in Australia and used sun cream every day.
"Because I am now back in Scotland I just assumed I'd be fine without as the weather in Scotland isn't usually to great.
"This just goes to show you can burn anywhere at any time, so taking precautions will be worth it.
"I will absolutely be more cautious from now on. Yes I have been sunburnt in the past, but never to this extent. I've definitely learnt my lesson."
Meanwhile, other hapless Brits shared pictures of their tanning fails as the heatwave baked the country.
