Trying to build good, new habits is tough, especially if you are also trying to break bad ones. You can, however, give yourself a big boost by tracking your habits to solidify them into everyday routine.
A few years ago after failing to reach a fitness goal, I realized that I was approaching the situation from the wrong direction. Having a goal is great, but not having a way to get there is a recipe for disaster. This is true of anything we want to achieve in our personal or professional lives. Habits are far more important than goals.
Think about it this way. If you want to raise a successful child would you give them the goal of getting into Yale at age 10 and send them on their way, or would you teach them how to have strong habits and grit?
You can be highly successful without ever setting a goal. Without the right habits, though, you will fail. Goals are about then, habits are how you get there.
I've tracked my new habits for a while now. I find it's a great way to solidify them into something I do without thinking. The process of checking off a habit each day and keeping a log of my progress is motivation to keep the habit going strong.
Over time I've tracked habits ranging from getting on the bike 6 days a week to practicing guitar 30 minutes a day. Easily the most rewarding thing about tracking a habit is when I get to stop tracking it because the behavior has become automatic.
In his book The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg shares a discovery from MIT researchers: every habit is a simple loop. By being aware of the "Habit Loop" we can take control of the habits in our lives.
Understanding the habit loop is the key to ridding ourselves of bad habits and building good ones. The loop consists of three steps: a cue, a routine, and a reward.
When a cue happens, that triggers a specific routine (or behavior) to get some type of reward.
You feel stressed out from a long day at work (cue), so you make yourself a drink (routine) and get a little relief (reward).
Follow the Golden Rule of Habit Change – Keep the Cue and Reward; Change the Routine.
You still come home from work stressed out from a long day at work (cue), but instead of fixing a drink you sit down with your wife and play a board game (new routine) and get a little relief (reward).
Obviously, life isn't always so cut and dry. Charles Duhigg suggests the following steps be followed to find the parts of the Habit Loop in your life so that you can start reprogramming your habits into healthy ones.
What routine (behavior) do you want to change in your life? Do you want to stop looking at your phone so often? Do you want to quit your caffeine habit? Or limit your time playing video games to get time to work out?
It's easy to find rewards; a full stomach or getting high, but it takes a little more work to identify what we are really craving when we go after these things. Is there another reward that will satisfy the true craving, but in a positive way?
From there you get to experiment on yourself. Try other routines that lead to different rewards. Do you really want an afternoon diet soda from the vending, or is that an excuse to take a break from work? Would a 5 minute walk outdoors be more fulfilling? The goal is to determine the reward you're really craving.
When you get the urge to get up from your desk and get that diet soda, write what you are doing at the time. Was it a certain time of day? How were you feeling? Maybe you crave diet soda at 3:30 in the afternoon everyday, or maybe it's when you get bored.
Now that you've identified the Cue and Reward, you can start making plans to change your routine. The best way to do this is through implementation intentions, basically an "if-then" phrase. The implementation intention links your cue to a specific action.
When I feel worn out at 3:30 pm, I will get up from my desk and walk to the courtyard for 5 minutes.
You have to be committed to implementing your implementation intention. This is your new habit, make it strong. The best way to stay committed is to track your habit.
What Habits Should You Track?
Choose a habit you care about doing / not doing regularly. Don't let outside influences affect your decision, this is about what you want to achieve. If the habit is chosen internally there is a better chance you'll stick with it and make it routine.
The more often you do your habit, the stronger and more ingrained it will become. Each repetition enforces it as a behavior, eventually making the behavior automatic. Once a behavior is automatic, it's what we call a habit.
If you're only doing something once a week, it's going to take a long time for that behavior to become a habit. To start, try to find a habit you can track every day. At the very least shoot for something you want to do Monday through Friday.
The more you do it, the faster you'll develop the habit.
If you plan to run 5 miles every day after 10 years of sitting on the couch, you'll probably fail around mile 1 on day 1. To keep on track your habit has to be achievable, if you put in the effort you can do it. The last thing you need is ability getting in the way when you're face to face with willpower.
You've picked a good new habit to work on and now you're ready to keep track of it to adhere yourself to the routing. How do you go about tracking your habits effectively?
It depends on what works for you.
Grab a small notebook or daily planner and make a note or hash mark each day to track whether you completed your habit. A page full of marks is a great visual cue to keep things going. In addition, you can make notes about failures, hurdles, and successes.
Momentum is a very polished habit tracker that not only looks great, it's also very functional. It syncs between all your Apple devices (iPhone, Watch, Mac), has a cool trends feature which helps you understand when you are most productive, and lets you add notes for context. Momentum also has a skip function that will let you skip habits (for vacations or sick days) without breaking streaks. The widget for iPhone is cool and useful too.
Habitica is a great option if you're into gamification. The app turns your habits and your ability to stick with them into a game. You'll earn gold for your accomplishments which you can use to upgrade your character. There's a multiplayer mode to up the ante, your inaction hurts your friends.
Productive keeps things simple and covers the basics with a clean and minimal interface. You can input habits, check off completed items daily and see habit history.
STREAKS is a very simple habit tracking app without any fluff. You can track up to 6 daily habits, no more. The interface is very straight forward, you simply hold down a habit to complete for the day and tap it to see the habit's history.

How does the APA Equalizer handicapping system work?
For an unofficial description that provides more details, see the quote from "jayman" below.
How do APA ratings differ or compare to the A-D system?
1 score: That's your average.
After that, only the base 10 of your last 20 score count. Old scores are dropped off as new ones are added.
Note that the Bud Light systems does not allow any scores or averages greater than 10 innings per game.
Say you're a six afraid of going up to a seven.
You know that the cut-off for being a seven is 2.00 innings per win or less.
You play good enough to win, but pad your innings to make sure that your score for that match is over 2.00 innings per win.
Your league operator inputs a score for you of say: 5 games in 15 innings (3.00 innings per win). The APA system will give you an 'applied score' base on your winning percentage instead of that 3.00 score you worked so hard to get.
These applied scores are used for every match you win in which you shot more innings than your skill level indicates. A side effect of the applied score system is that it is next to impossible to drop a skill level while maintaining a winning percentage above 50%.
The score being added counts toward the winning percentage. For example, I'm a seven with a 90% winning percentage. Last night I beat a six in our super-30 league 7 to 4 in 16 inning with 2 safeties. Since the safeties don't count, my league operator will enter into his computer that I won my 7 games in 14 innings instead of 16. The APA software will compte innings per win and come up with a score of 2.00. Then the software notices that I have a 90% winning percentage, and that my applied score is 1.1. That 1.1 score is what will get stored in my records. It wouldn't matter if I had taken 200 innings to beat the guy – I still would have gotten tha applied score of 1.1, because I WON AND SHOT WORSE THAN MY WINING PERCENTAGE INDICATES I SHOULD.
Applied scores are only used for WINS, so if I had lost my match, say 6 to 6 in 16 innings with 2 safeties, then I would get a 2.33 score in my records. That's (16 innings minus 2 safeties) divided by 6 wins.
Also notice that the applied score for all 2s is 7.0, and that 7.0 is actually a 3 skill level. What this does is prevent anybody from being a 2 with a winning percentage. Any time a 2 gets a winning percentage they are automatically bumped up to a 3, since at that time their best scores will be better than 7.01.
The system is fairly complicated, but it's designed pretty well. It's actually the fairest system I've come across. It's possible to sandbag in Bud Light, but it's possible to sandbag in any handicap system.

There's a certain romance surrounding dorm room startups. From Microsoft, to Dell, to Facebook, there's something about the audacity of building a company before you even get your degree that catches the imagination. The title for the first of the Dot Com dorm room startup probably goes to Tripod, which was founded all the way back in 1992 by Bo Peabody. Bo recounts how Tripod stumbled upon one of the earliest antecedents for what today we would call social media, and gives us an amazing analysis about what it really takes to succeed as an entrepreneur.

Q: Multiple VirtualHost Configuration files in Apache2. I have servers with RHEL-5, Apache-2.2.22, PHP-5.3.25
I know I can configure multiple virtualhost configurations in mutliple file by including these files in httpd.conf.
Can Apache support this arrangement while any incorrect configuration in one file doesn't affect another or I can say Apache as whole.
I have LOAD BALANCE server arrangement in which I want different users to have their working shells. Now we want to give them access to modify there virtualhost configurations as they like and apply them without affecting other site.
This user based working environment is possible in IIS, do Apache also support this.

A: AFAIK Apache processes its configuration file in order. Includes are processed at the point and the order they're referenced in, effectively creating a single configuration.
To have changes there take effect apache needs to be reloaded/restarted. That can fail so is not something users should be allowed to do.
The typical way to allow user to somewhat modify/override their configuration is via .htaccess local overrides, not by allowing them to modify the actual apache configuration files.

Make some noise for change after silent Womxn's March
Originally published January 20, 2017 at 1:23 pm Updated January 20, 2017 at 1:49 pm
Tasha Delos Santos paints during a sign-making party in early January for the Womxn's March in Seattle. (Erika Schultz/The Seattle Times)
I don't agree with the plan for the Seattle Womxn's March to be done in silence, but I will support my sisters in arms because that is what democracy is about — not always agreeing but being there for each other when it counts.
Soraya Cardenas-Conte
Special to The Times
I am excited to join the Womxn's March in Seattle on Saturday, but also a little unsettled. I understand why organizers have decided to walk in silence, but many civil rights marches used gospel and folk music to uplift and inspire strength. I believe that marching silently may send the wrong message.
Women have been subjected to rape, unequal education, unfair wages and so much more. By being silent, what message are we expressing? That we don't like the current climate but we remain silent?
Soraya Cardenas-Conte is a sociologist at Cascadia College, Bothell. She received her doctorate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she was a recipient of a Presidential Fellowship and Garcia-Robles Fulbright scholarship.
I also am concerned that the diversity in the United States may not be fully represented. Though I admire and respect all the famous women in our history who will be remembered and represented in larger-than-life puppet figures, I want to remind everyone not to forget the millions of other women who have been subjected to inequalities and injustices:
Chinese women falsely labeled prostitutes as part of a government agenda to prevent their immigration, Japanese women who toiled in the sugar-cane fields and later faced a life in World War II internment camps, indigenous women who were raped and killed, and African women who bore the chains of slavery.
There are millions more stories about the women who have labored and continue to for their families, communities, colleagues and justice.
My own story: My immigrant mother worked in a meatpacking plant until she was injured, which left her with three ruptured discs. She worked so I could pursue my education and dreams. I wrote part of my dissertation while in the hospital with my premature son. Today, I teach at Cascadia College in Bothell, while doing research.
I don't want Saturday's march to define us as silent and mostly white. I want us to embrace our diversity and share our experiences because no matter how big or small, we continue to be the building blocks and pillars of society.
And I, for one, am tired of remaining silent. Though I will march, I hope that organizers and supporters will find voice and not only speak out but act out — we need to put plans in motion, such as starting a petition to dissolve the Electoral College, which is rooted in slavery; to have our cyber community fight back against hacking, fake news and bot-driven propaganda; to boycott products by companies that support misogyny, racism and homophobia, and so much more.

Dan Maes uncovers the nefarious bicycle/U.N. plot
DAN MAES UNCOVERS THE NEFARIOUS BICYCLE/U.N. PLOT…. Last week, in one of the year's more entertaining campaign attacks, Colorado gubernatorial hopeful Dan Maes (R) blasted Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's (D) efforts to boost bike riding. Yesterday, he dug deeper.
As Maes initially explained it, efforts to promote bicycling and related programs seem like "warm, fuzzy ideas," but they're really "very specific strategies that are dictated" by a United Nations program. Maes conceded that he used to think environmental initiatives like these were harmless, but he now realizes "that's exactly the attitude they want you to have." The truth, he said, is that promotion of bicycle riding "is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms."
Maes, a Tea Party favorite, was completely serious.
Yesterday, he appeared on MSNBC, and chose not to use the hand-brake.
"The bike program in and of itself is fine," Maes said. "What I'm concerned about is what's behind it all."
"We're trying to differentiate myself from the Mayor," he said. Maes argued that if he wins the primary, "people are going to say, 'What's the differences?' because we're both business people. When the mayor signs on to a program that's sponsored by the United Nations, that should bring concern to people as to how that program may or may not be compatible with our state constitution."
Lest anyone think there's anything actually to this, the criticism is crazy. Before Hickenlooper, the leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate, even became mayor, Denver agreed to participate in "the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, an international association that promotes sustainable development and has attracted the membership of more than 1,200 communities, 600 of which are in the United States."
As Brad Johnson explained, "Despite Maes's dark fears, Denver's participation in ICLEI carries no legal obligations and raises no constitutional issues, but does allow city planners to share information and ideas with other urban communities throughout the world."
Even in a nutty year, with some off-the-wall GOP candidates, Maes's line of attack is pretty far out there.

This week's featured exchange-traded fund (ETF) is Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV).
As its name implies, BSV tracks shorter-term U.S. government, investment-grade corporate and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds. All of the bonds in BSV's portfolio have maturities in the duration range of 1-5 years.
With $21.59 billion of total assets under its belt and daily trading volume over $112 million, BSV is a huge fund with a lot of liquidity. The fund is passively managed using index sampling. Its efficient management practices yield a low expense ratio of just 0.07%.
One of the main advantages that this shorter-term bond ETF offers over the long-term bond ETFs is reduced fallout from the Fed's interest rate hikes, which are expected by many forecasters later this year.
You may be interested to know that BSV is held by many large investment banks, such as Bank of America (19.55 million shares), Wells Fargo & Company (14.94 million shares) and Morgan Stanley (8.02 million shares). Banks do this to diversify their portfolios and hedge against interest risk.
From the chart below, we can see that BSV experienced a sharp decline in late 2016, as it dropped to a low of around $78.75. Since then, the fund has rebounded and currently trades at around $79.80. Year to date, BSV's return is 0.48%. BSV has a dividend yield of 1.59%.
BSV's top five holdings in the portfolio are the U.S. Treasury 1.25% Note, 1.49%; U.S. Treasury 1.375% Note, 1.46%; U.S. Treasury 1.25% Note, 1.42%; U.S. Treasury 1.5% Note, 1.39%; and U.S. Treasury 1.125% Note, 1.35%.
BSV provides constant current income with high credit quality. If you are seeking a safe go-to investment in the bond market, I encourage you to look into Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV) as a potential purchase.

Brian Silvester
ANGER has greeted the shock news that decisions affecting the lives of people in Crewe could soon be made 20 miles away in Macclesfield.
Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council leader Brian Silvester is furious the Government has decided to axe the borough and county councils and split Cheshire into new East and West councils.
He said: 'We could be looking at a situation where we've got Macclesfield councillors who don't know the first thing about Crewe and Nantwich making decisions that affect only us.
'It is going to make us remote from the councillors who are making decisions. At least at the moment if people don't like me they can kick me out but they won't be able to with the new system.'
And he claims the changeover could cost about £33m and mean the borough loses its £21m savings.
'It will be expensive and cost up to £1m a year to run. It's undemocratic and we will fight the Government's decision,' he added.
But Macclesfield Borough Council deputy leader Elizabeth Gilliland defended the change which received just 23% of the vote in the Crewe 'Keep It Local' referendum and scored lowest in an independent Ipsos MORI poll.
She said: 'Surely to be ruled from Macclesfield, if that should be the outcome, would be better than having a single unitary council and being ruled from Chester?
'There will definitely be less councillors which will be a saving for the taxpayer.'
She said she thought the most likely centre of power would be the new £6.9m Congleton Borough Council headquarters in Sandbach.
But she did not know why the Government had decided to go for the least popular option.
'I suggest they thought it would be the best way forward,' she added.

How to have and organize your prayer time as a mom and free beautiful printable prayer cards!.
Intercessory prayer. How many times has the Holy Spirit awakened us in the middle of the night to pray for a loved one or dear friend who is serving Him? A need so strong that it takes us to our knees? Afterwards, we learn that the need to pray indeed came from Him, while our loved one was going through a deep struggle?
How often have we been through the valleys thinking we were all alone? That no one even knew to pray for us? That's alright for The Lord Jesus Christ is our intercessor; sitting at the right hand of the Father praying for us – even when we falter and search for words.
"Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ. and lie not:) a teacher of the gentiles in faith and verity.
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead be ye reconciled unto God (II Corinthians 5:19-20).
Somebody's praying for you, my friend. You do not have to go through the valley alone.


Philippa is a singer-songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden. Not too long ago, she released nostalgic visuals for her "In Your Arms" single.
The video begins with old family footages of Philippa when she was a playful child. Also, the audiovisual is a representation of who she was and who she is today, with a tribute to her family.
The song highlights Philippa's struggles while growing up and trying to find her place in a complicated world. Also, it explores how—with help from her family—she was able to persevere.
'In Your Arms' contains a relatable storyline, sweet soul vocals, and slow-burning instrumentation embedded with soft piano, playful drums, and dreamy synths. Also, the song was co-produced by Philippa and her brother, Fredrik.
We recommend adding Philippa's "In Your Arms" single to your personal playlist. Also, let us know how you feel about it in the comment section below.

Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. II
by: Rowan Baylis [ MERLIN ]
Originally published on:
AeroScale
The idea behind the turret-fighter was simple enough - let the pilot concentrate on flying, while the gunner dealt with targeting the enemy. Only two of the competing designs for Specification F.9/35 actually flew - the Hawker Hotspur, which bore a close similarity to the Hurricane and the Boulton Paul Defiant. The Defiant was chosen for RAF service (Hawker was fully committed to Hurricane production) and the first aircraft were delivered in December 1939.
Powered by the same engine as the Spitfire and Hurricane, but encumbered by the added weight of a gunner and his turret, it was clear from the start that the Defiant would struggle against single-seaters despite every effort to fair in the turret smoothly. Nevertheless, the first combat results were spectacularly good, when Luftwaffe pilots made the mistake of attacking from above and behind in a conventional manner - only to be met by a hail of fire from the Defiant's 4 x .303 machine guns. In one day during the fierce fighting covering the evacuation from Dunkirk, Defiants claimed no less than 38 kills and 65 (mostly bombers) by the end of May.
But it couldn't last; German pilots soon realised that the Defiant was defenceless against attacks from head-on and below, while splitting the tasks of flying and fighting between two crew made both the pilot's and gunner's tasks next to impossible in a dogfight. As a day fighter, the Defiant's days were numbered; at the height of the Battle of Britain, 264 Sqn was reduced to just 3 serviceable aircraft after less than a week in the front-line and the type was hastily withdrawn from the fighting. It was decided to use the Defiant as a night fighter and the new, top secret AI radar was installed. In this new role, the Defiant proved a success and provided a valuable part of Britain's early night-fighting force, notching up the highest kill ratio during the Winter of 1940-41.
Classic Airframes' first released a 1/48 scale Defiant almost 10 years ago. The early kit was typical of short-run kits of its day - definitely one for the experts and condemned by many modellers for some dimensional inaccuracies. Recognising the continuing appeal of the Defiant, Classic Airframes have taken the bold move of scrapping the original kit entirely and releasing a series of brand new models which incorporate all the advances in short-run injection technology over the intervening decade. So far, 3 kits have been announced:
Kit # 481 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. II Night Fighter
Kit # 482 Boulton Paul Defiant TT Mk. I / TTMk.III
Kit # 471 Boulton Paul Defiant Mk. I Day Fighter
This review is for the Mk. II, but should be applicable to the other variants in most respects.
The new kit consists of:
65 x Main plastic parts
20 x Resin detail parts
5 x Injected clear parts
1 x Etched fret
Decals for 2 schemes.
Main Parts
The kit is moulded in mid-grey plastic which is good quality and easy to work with. The sprue gates are reasonably small, but some of the smaller parts will need extra care in removal and clean up. The main parts have a high gloss surface and panel lines are all very neatly engraved. The control surfaces feature a nice subtle fabric-effect, but no attempt has been made to depict the fabric covering of the rear decking behind the turret or the heavy riveting which is so apparent in photos of the Defiant.
There is a little flash, here and there, and there are a couple of ejector-pin stubs to take care of inside the fuselage before assembly, but clean-up should be quick and easy. The detail is mostly excellent excellent, although the radiator grills might have been better cast in resin. The one real problem concerns the rudder, which has pronounced sink-marks which will need filling - while trying to preserve the fabric-effect.
Test Fit
I test-fitted the main parts and the results were excellent; there's no warping and the fit is very precise. There are no locator pins, but the fuselage halves fit line up perfectly. The nose is moulded separately (like Hasegawa's Hurricane) to allow for different versions. This is often a recipe for trouble but, in this case, the fit is spot on. The instructions show the nose being fitted after the fuselage is complete, whereas many modellers prefer to fit the halves early for a more conventional assembly; based on the test fit, both methods should be trouble-free. Finally, the fuselage to wing joint is almost perfect.
The detail parts are beautifully cast in grey resin. The cockpit consists of 8 parts, plus a further 8 for the turret. Detail throughout is superb, with excellent cockpit side-walls and instrument panel. The machine gun barrels feature delicate cooling slots and hollow ends (a spare is thoughtfully included).
The wheel wells show some very nice detail and fit the openings in the wing fine. They are moulded on heavy plinths but, as far as I can tell without a full-build, once they're cleaned up they look as though they'll fit inside the wings with no problem.
Etched Parts
Classic Airframes supply a small etched fret which includes seat harnesses for the pilot and gunner, plus a number of aerials for the AI Radar. The instructions show the fuselage aerials mounted only on the port side. They aren't always easy to see in photos, because wartime censors often did their best to scrub out the evidence of the top-secret radar, but most of my references show the aerials fitted on both sides. The etched fret actually includes sufficient parts for both sides, but only one resin mount is provided - still, it'll be simple enough to use this a pattern and make another.
Clear Parts
The kit includes injection moulded transparencies and they are crystal-clear, with very neatly done framing. The canopy is moulded closed and the plastic is rather thick, so it'll be hard to pose it open or with the turret fairing down. Hopefully, Falcon / Squadron will come to the rescue with a vacuform replacement to show off the lovely internal detail.
The turret itself looks pretty good - it's moulded in halves, but the joint is on a frame line. Compared with plans, the turret looks as though it might have a tendency to sit a little too high, but it's a drop-in fit, so it should be possible to sort this out.
Instructions and decals
The assembly diagrams are neatly drawn and include colour notes at each stage. These call for the cockpit to be painted grey-green, which I believe is correct for the day-fighter, but my references for the night-fighter describe the cockpit as mostly black.
The position of the various aerials is a bit confusing and some separate scrap-views would do no harm - this is certainly a case of measuring carefully before drilling any holes.
Decals are provided for two aircraft in a choice of colours which Henry Ford would have approved of - black or black. The decals are custom-printed by Microscale and are of superb quality - thin and perfectly in register. Two sheets are provided - one seems to be generic to all the Defiant versions, while the second carries the codes and fin-flashes for two night-fighters.
The generic sheet features some stencilling, but none is shown on the painting diagrams for the night-fighter. It's not obvious from photos how much stencilling the night-fighters carried, but one wartime shot clearly shows W/T marks on the rudder (presumably painted in dull-red).
This is an excellent kit and a vast improvement over Classic Airframes' previous version - full marks to them for bringing out a new model. The clean fit and simple construction should make it an ideal first short-run kit and suitable for any modeller with a little experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of the series. Recommended.

It's strange to think that at the same time that the RAF was, arguably, leading the world with the introduction of the legendary Hurricane and Spitfire fighters, British planners were also developing an entirely different form of interceptor - the turret-fighter, a concept that appeared sound, but which would ultimately end in tragedy.

E.on will pay out to thousands of customers after bills mix-up
The mistake meant people dip into their overdrafts or struggled to make payments

E.on is to pay out to thousands of Northants customers
E.on customers affected by a bills mix-up are to get a pay-out from the energy giant.
The majority of the 1.6 million affected customers were scheduled to pay their bills at the beginning of January this year, but were instead charged on Christmas Eve - leaving some struggling for funds during the festive season.
It means some might have unexpectedly dipped into their bank overdrafts or struggled to make other payments over the holiday period.
E.on has now said it will give goodwill payments to compensate customers who were hit with additional bank charges as well as paying £627,312 to Ofgem's energy redress fund which helps vulnerable customers.
Anna Rossington, director of retail at Ofgem, said: "Ofgem expects suppliers to adhere to the terms of contracts they have with customers, in particular the agreed direct debit payment dates.

"This failure is a reminder to suppliers that when making changes to their systems, they need to undertake appropriate checks to avoid any unintended consequences for customers.
"Ofgem is always prepared to work with suppliers who have failed to comply with their obligations, but who have self-reported and are determined to put things right, as E.on has done."
E.on blamed an IT error for "inadvertently" taking payments early.
