The Hinckley Point nuclear decision is a big one. I'm fascinated by the different stakeholder viewpoints reported in the media. They include EDF's, the Chinese Government's, the Opposition, UK tax-payers and electricity customers in the UK who, they say, will ultimately foot the bill for the Government's decision.
This decision is so big that the French Government is involved.
Do you find it odd that the biggest current trade order that the UK has with the heart of the EU is suddenly on hold? Is it a co-incidence, at a time when the UK needs a negotiating position with and support from allies for Brexit?
So, it is an interesting example of a very complex, long-term decision with lots of stakeholders to manage.
What do we learn from this nuclear option?
I thought the deal had been done. I did not realise that we were waiting for EDF to make a final decision on the risk of the deal. And when they did say yes (by majority vote, not unanimously) it turns out the lead investor has not finished making up their mind. (Ref City AM – 29July 2016)
I see, in this example, reminders that complex decisions are:
- A process (or a journey) and not an event at one point in time
- A trade-off, a negotiation even, between the stakeholders who wield the power
- Unlikely to take effect if the pathway to 'implementation' has not been put in place.
I often see 'hollow' decisions that have no impact (or worse an unwanted impact) when the implementation 'flightpath' has not been cleared:
Do we have the resources to enact the decision?
Do we have the actual authority to proceed?
We include these aspects business cases for major investments but without the live context for what is happening in the environment.
"We decided to move but then found that while we were deliberating
all the decent property in the district we wanted to move to has been let…"
Part of our business decision design® approach is to make sure that the 'implementation flight-path' has been considered, designed and mobilised. Timing is important. As is getting the degree of preparation right.
It's part of the art.
Here is a link to the picture.
I wish you sunny days.

On July 6, Felix was stopped at a gas station by an ICE official and was arrested, even though he was driving with a valid Maryland driver's license. Despite being a low-priority case, he has been detained at Broward Transitional Center since then.Felix's brother was killed in Honduras last month for being a public official. Felix fears being killed by the same people, who are still free, if he's deported. Make a Phone Call:Call ICE Director John Morton (202) 732-3000Sample Script: "Hi, I am calling to ask that Felix Padilla (A# 072-113-242) be released from Broward Transitional Center and that his deportation be stopped. Felix has been living in the U.S. for 12 years and is the main provider for his family. His brother was killed in Honduras last month and Felix fears for his life if he's deported. Felix is a low-priority case and should be released immediately."
* Required information
To Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security, John Morton; and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano:
I am writing to call for the immediate release of Felix Padilla (A# 072-113-242), from Broward Transitional Center in Florida and urge that you take immediate action to stop his deportation.
On July 6, Felix stopped at a gas station to pump gas when an officer gave him a strange look. The officer was parked near the gas station and, as Felix drove away, the officer pulled him over. Felix was then told the officer was an ICE official and proceeded to detain him even though Felix had a valid driver's license from Maryland. Despite being a low-priority case, Felix was transferred to Broward Transitional Center where he has been ever since.
Felix has been living in the United States for the past 12 years and fears being sent back to Honduras. Last month, Felix's brother was murdered for being a public official. His brother's death was displayed on newspapers and now Felix fears for his life as people would know he is related to a public official. If deported, Felix will live in constant fear for his safety and won't be able to provide for his family. Felix is a hard-working person with dreams of a better life. He has no criminal record and should be released from detention.
At 40 years old, Felix is the main provider for his family in Honduras, including his parents who are older and cannot work. Felix's sister passed away 10 years ago and, since then, he has also become the sole provider for her two daughters who are 19 and 12 years old. Both of them depend on Felix financially to survive. Felix was deported in 1994 through a work raid, but was forced to return to the United States so that he could continue to provide for his family.
According to the memo issued by John Morton, Felix is a low-priority case and should be granted favorable exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Tax-payers have already spent over $2,300 keeping Felix in detention for no reason. Felix has no criminal record and, if sent back, he faces death in the hands of those who murdered his brother.
I urge you to release Felix Padilla (A# 072-113-242), from Broward Transitional Center in Florida and stop his deportation.

King Creosote
King Creosote
Monday 12th April – Tickets £10.00
Tickets £10
In a world where uncoolness can mean cool and zany uniqueness is two-a-penny, you might expect the original zany nerd King Creosote to be swallowed up. But despite some un-radio-friendly song titles (Saw Circular Prowess anyone?) and lyrics professing "you've seen me wading through reviews I don't deserve", his new album Flick The Vs simply does deserve the plaudits – it's an absolute corker.
Creosote, a.k.a. Kenny Anderson's, self-declared fifth album charms from the word go with lilting Scottish vocals and pace and style changes that keep you guessing. Two Frocks At A Wedding is hauntingly delicate, while Camels Swapped For Wives is a slow burner that builds to a crescendo that simply begs for some car karaoke.
Opener No One Had It Better wouldn't be out of place on Skins, while the appropriately named Fell An Ox could soundtrack a nature programme (and that way you might get away with omitting kooky lyrics like "perfume makes me sneeze, among other allergies").
Rims provides a Ceilidh hoedown Lily Allen could only dream of, as well as a perplexing combination of depressing lyrics ("I am the worst") laid over the most upbeat of melodies. Closer Saw Circular Prowess is just epic and Nothing Rings True twinkles amongst the others like a delicate jewel.
If there is a whinge, it's that some of the tracks are a tad on the lengthy side – aforementioned Travis and Lady Gaga lovechild No One Had It Better clocks in at nearly seven minutes long – but when the content's this good you can't really complain. Let's just say it's no surprise rip-roaring first single Coast On By got named Single Of The Week on Radio 2.
Released off the back of the Anstruther weekend festival Homegame, organised by the man himself and his Fence Collective pals, don't be surprised if Flick The Vs makes the notoriously publicity-shy Anderson more popular than the stuff of his worst nightmares.

1 In the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Last updated: Feb, 2013
Young's Literal
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that [were] in the garden of God, envied him.
10 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
17 They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
18 To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
King James Version
1 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying:
2 'Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness?
3 Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.
4 Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field.
5 Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth,
6 In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations.
7 And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.
8 Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto him in his beauty,
9 Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of God.
10 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness,
11 I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.
12 And cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the land, and they leave him.
13 On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his boughs have been all the beasts of the field,
14 In order that none of the trees of the waters May become haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto the earth -- the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men, Unto those going down to the pit.
15 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of his going down to sheol I have caused mourning, I have covered for him the deep, and diminish its flowings, And restrained are many waters, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the field have been covered for him.
16 From the sound of his fall I have caused nations to shake, In My causing him to go down to sheol, With those going down to the pit, And comforted in the earth -- the lower part, are all trees of Eden, The choice and the good of Lebanon, All drinking waters.
17 Also they with him have gone down to sheol, Unto the pierced of the sword, And -- his arm -- they dwelt in his shade in the midst of nations.
18 Unto whom hast thou been thus like, In honour and in greatness among the trees of Eden, And thou hast been brought down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth -- the lower part, In the midst of the uncircumcised thou liest, With the pierced of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

Welsh Rate of Income Tax - Facts
Welsh income tax is only payable by Welsh taxpayers.
There are a number of tests to determine Welsh taxpayer status. Place of residence is key to establishing whether an individual is a Welsh taxpayer. For the vast majority of individuals, the question of whether or not they are a Welsh taxpayer will be a simple one – they will either live in Wales and be a Welsh taxpayer or live elsewhere in the UK and not be a Welsh taxpayer.
Welsh income tax applies to non-savings, non-dividend income only (earnings, pension and most other taxable income). Welsh taxpayers pay the same tax as the rest of the UK on savings and dividends income.
Key points
- The Welsh rate of income tax was introduced through the Wales Act 2014.
- From April 2019, the Welsh Government has the power to set income tax rates applicable to non-savings and non-dividend income to those defined as Welsh taxpayers.
- Welsh taxpayer status applies for a whole tax year and cannot be applied for part of a year
- Reliefs and allowances, such as Personal Allowance, are not devolved and remain set by the UK government.
- Welsh residence is determined by where the main home of the individual is situated or by counting the number of days an individual is resident in Wales.
Income tax rates and order of tax
Devolution of Welsh Income Tax since 2014
The powers the Welsh government have over tax broadly fall into two categories:
- Fully devolved taxes
- Partly devolved taxes
The Wales Act 2014 allowed stamp duty land tax and landfill tax to be fully devolved to the Welsh government. The Tax Collection and Management (Wales) Act 2016 provided the Welsh government with the powers to collect and manage fully-devolved Welsh taxes. The Land Transaction Tax and Anti-avoidance of Devolved Taxes (Wales) Act (LTTA) and Landfill Disposals Tax (Wales) Act were passed by the National Assembly in the summer of 2017. The Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA) was also established in 2017 and began to collect these taxes from April 2018.
Income tax was partially devolved to the Welsh government by the Wales Act 2014 and the Wales Act 2017. These Acts enabled the Welsh National Assembly to set tax rates on non-savings and non-dividend income for those defined as Welsh taxpayers. HMRC continue to be responsible for the collection and management of Welsh income tax, and as such it is not a fully devolved tax and remains part of the existing UK income tax system.
What does it apply to?
The Wales Act 2014 and the Wales Act 2017 gave the Welsh Government the power to set the rate of income tax applicable to non-savings, non-divided income only. This comprises earnings, pensions, taxable social security payments, trading profits and income from property.
Following an order made on 24 July 2018, the National Assembly of Wales is able to set the rates of income tax for the tax years 2019/20 onwards.
The Welsh Government has confirmed that they will not increase the income tax rates in Wales during the current Assembly, which will continue until May 2021. Assuming that it does not cut taxes, the Welsh rate of income tax will be 10% until there is a change of government in Wales.
Rates and bands for 2019/20
From 6 April 2019, tax codes will start with a 'C' for Welsh taxpayers. In addition, the self-assessment tax return will be adapted so that Welsh taxpayers can inform HMRC that the Welsh rate applies.
Rates for Non-Savings, Non Dividend Income
The rate paid by Welsh taxpayers is calculated by reducing the UK basic, higher and additional rates of income tax by 10 percentage points, then adding the individual rates set annually by the National Assembly of Wales.
The power to vary the Welsh rate of income tax by band has been devolved so the rates set could differ for basic, higher and additional.
The rates for a tax year are therefore calculated as follows:
Step 1
Take the UK basic rate, higher rate or additional rate.
Step 2
Deduct 10 percentage points.
Step 3
Respectively add the Welsh basic rate, Welsh higher rate and Welsh additional rate (as the case may be) set by the National Assembly for Wales for that year.
The Welsh Government has set the first Welsh rates of income tax at 10p: this means the rates of income tax paid by Welsh taxpayers will continue to be the same as those paid by English and Northern Irish taxpayers.
|UK Rates
|Reduced UK Rates
|Welsh Rates
|Rate Applicable
|Basic Rate
|10% (-10)
|Higher Rate
|30% (-10)
|Additional Rate
|35% (-10)
Income Limits
Only the power to set the rates applicable for Non-Savings, Non Dividend Income has been devolved. The thresholds for the tax bands also remain set by the UK Government and are in line with the rest of the UK.
Who is a Welsh taxpayer?
An individual can only be a Welsh taxpayer if they are resident in the UK for tax purposes. The legislation defines a Welsh taxpayer as an individual who:
- Has a 'close connection' with Wales
- Has no 'close connection' with Wales but spends more days of that year in Wales than in any one part of the UK
- is an MP for a Welsh constituency, a MEP for Wales or an Assembly member (with special rules for individuals who are also Scottish parliamentarians)
If an individual does not live in and has no connection to Wales, they will not be a Welsh taxpayer. For an individual who lives in Wales for the full tax year, it is clear cut, they will be a Welsh taxpayer.
The situation will be different if the individual:
- moves to or from Wales during the year
- has more than one home at the same time
- has nowhere they can identify as their home
In any of these scenarios, the close connection to (main home) or number of days spent in Wales will determine the tax status.
Moves to or from Wales
If an individual moves to or from Wales in the course of a tax year they will be a Welsh taxpayer if they live in Wales for at least as much of the tax year as they live in any other country in the UK. The number of days spent in Wales is compared to days spent in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland individually during the course of that year – not in aggregate.
Alice rented and lived at a house in Birmingham for a number of years. On 30 June her rental on the Birmingham property ends and she immediately moves to a flat in Pontypridd. The time she spent living in Wales in the tax year (1 July to 5 April) was longer than the time she lived in England (6 April to 30 June) so she is a Welsh taxpayer for the whole tax year.
Bryn lived in Barry for many years. In the course of the tax year he sold his house in Barry and moved into a flat in Manchester where he stayed before moving to a new house in Bristol. During the tax year he spent:
125 days in Barry
120 days in Manchester
120 days in Bristol
Bryn is not a Welsh taxpayer for the whole of the tax year because he lived in Wales for less time than he lived in England (Wales 125 days, England 240 days).
Emily has owned and lived at a house in Swansea for a number of years – this is her sole place of residence. In the course of the year she sells her house in Swansea and moves into rented accommodation in Glasgow where she stays until moving into a new house she has purchased in London. The period of time each location constituted her place of residence in the course of the tax year was as follows:
125 days in Swansea
120 days in London
120 days in Glasgow
Emily is a Welsh taxpayer, for the whole of the tax year, on the basis that the period of time for which her place of residence was in Wales was at least as great (and in this case greater) than the periods of time her place of residence was in any one of the other parts of the UK.
If HMRC changes an individual's tax rate, the new rate will be backdated to the start of the tax year in which the move occurred. The tax taken from the individual's salary or pension will be adjusted automatically so that the individual pays the right amount across the whole year.
If an individual has more than one home at the same time
Where an individual regards more than one place as home, one in Wales and one elsewhere in the UK, they would count their 'main home' as the place they have the closest connection in terms of family, social and functional links.
This does not necessarily have to be the home where the individual spends most of their time. The main home may be where:
- most of their possessions are
- their family lives, for example, if they're married, in a civil partnership or a long-term relationship
- they are registered for things like a bank account, GP or car insurance
- they are a member of clubs or societies
For example, if an individual lives in a home in England during the week to avoid a commute to work, but their family lives in the Welsh home and they return to the family home at the weekend. If, in addition to this, they are a member of local clubs or groups and they are registered with the local dentist or doctor, Welsh taxpayer status would apply even though they technically spend more time in England.
If an individual has nowhere they can identify as their home
This scenario could arise if an individual would not regard a place they have stayed for regular periods as home, or if they live in various places and it is not possible to identify any one as the main home.
In this instance, the number of days spent in Wales during the tax year would be counted and compared to the number of days spent elsewhere in the UK. If the number of days spent in Wales is more than each other place in the UK, then the individual is a Welsh taxpayer for the whole tax year.
Charlotte works for a consultancy firm and travels round the UK on short term assignments, staying in hotels. She neither owns nor rents her own property. In the course of the tax year she spent:
150 days in Wales
100 days in England
90 days in Scotland
25 days in Northern Ireland
Charlotte has nowhere that could be regarded as home during the course of the tax year so the days she spent in Wales are compared against the days she spent elsewhere in the UK. As the 150 days spent in Wales is more than any of the days spent in the individual parts of the UK, she is a Welsh taxpayer.
The number of days is determined by where the individual was at midnight at the end of the day.
If Dennis lived in Wales from 10am on Monday to 5pm on Friday the same week, he spent 4 days there.
Someone who works offshore has spent a day in Wales if they are up to 12 nautical miles from Wales.
Where an individual is travelling between one non-UK country to another non-UK country and happen to be in the UK at midnight, it will not count as a day, unless they don't leave the UK the next day or carry out activities not connected with travel, such as a work meeting or visiting friends.
Interaction with other aspects of Income Tax
Reliefs and allowances, such as Personal Allowance and Personal Savings 'Allowance' remain a UK 'reserved' matter.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) has not been devolved (nor the upper earnings threshold for NIC, IHT or Corporation Tax).
The Welsh Government only has power to set the basic, higher and additional rates, the limits for the tax bands are still set by the UK Government and are in line with the rest of the UK.

A young Florida woman, Sol Paris, age 18 spurred a manhunt in Colorado after her obsession with the heinous events of the 1999 Columbine massacre led to her entering the state and threatening a similar violent attack on school students.
Due to the seriousness of the threats, many Colorado schools were forced to close in order to take appropriate precautions.
The threat seems to have been quieted after the perpetrator was found dead via suicide on Wednesday, April 14, 2019. Her body was recovered Southwest of Denver in the mountainous location of Mount Evans, Colorado. She appeared to have taken her life by inflicting herself with a gunshot.
Thankfully, Paris is believed to have acted by herself, merely becoming obsessed with the heinous crime that is approaching its 20th anniversary this week.
Earlier on Wednesday morning, before officers recovered the body, as many as 30 officers were scouring the area surrounding Echo Lake Campground. They had received a tip that a female hiker was forced to abandon her hike after a naked woman with a gun was seen in the immediate wooded area.
Paris allegedly traveled from Miami all the way to Colorado around Monday evening, at which point she purchased a pump-action shotgun and ammunition from a local Littleton gun shop. Despite her evil intent, she was able to make the purchase completely legally as she had no prior criminal record and thus was able to pass criminal background checks including being fingerprinted.
While out of state persons are not permitted to purchase handguns in Colorado, a nonresident is able to legally buy a long gun from any dealer with a federal firearm license. She was once again able to be within the parameters of state law as a person must only be 18 years of age to legally purchase long guns, such as they shot gun she purchased. Colorado law does dictate that handgun purchases are only allowed for residents over the age of 21.
After purchasing the gun, Paris allegedly proceeded to threaten devastatingly violent acts against those in the Denver area within mere days of the 20th anniversary of the Columbine shootings. She was spotted near Columbine wearing a black T-shirt, camo pants, and black boots. Authorities were immediately alerted that they should apprehend her and complete a mental health evaluation if she was seen.
Due to the significant threat Paris posed to area school districts and Columbine, a total of 21 school opted to go on lockdown for approximately 3 hours on the afternoon of April 16th. Many schools further extended security measures by canceling evening activities. Due to the ongoing threat, school was cancelled for many area students on Wednesday. Since the recent discovery of the perpetrators body, school is expected to resume normally on Thursday, albeit heightened security measures.

- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

Anticipate Adversity
Adversity is exciting for those who enjoy putting themselves in difficult and uncomfortable situations. For example, when I traveled outside of the US for the first time; the fact that I was venturing out into unfamiliar land — into an entirely different culture and that I had no idea what to expect — excited me. I've always enjoyed a challenged. Of course, I enjoy comfort too, but I experience the most excitement when stepping into unknown territory — or better yet, when plunging into it.
Welcome Challenge
Adversity is the ultimate challenge — the ultimate test of will — a boundary to be overcome. It is intended to push you passed your limitations.
For the cautious and cowardly, adversity is dangerous and intimidating because it threatens their sense of security. Those who fear adversity, withdraw and compromise.
For the passionate and couragous, compromise is not an option.
Those who have courage welcome adversity into their lives, they look forward to dealing with their challenges head-on.
Adversity leads to personal development, it teaches the individual to reflect upon themselves.
In the face of adversity, results are guaranteed, because there is only so much discomfort an individual can experience before one is forced to act. For instance, if a lion goes without eating for an extended period, there's only a matter of time before it will begin hunting for food. The lion's physical discomfort, due to it's prolonged hunger, forces the lion to act on its hunger. By acting on it's hunger, it develops its ability to hunt.
Rely On Resilience
In the midst of adversity, lies the opportunity to dig deeper — to strengthen one's will; the strength of one's will, determines the amount of resiliency one will have when in the face of adversity. Therefore, for us to overcome our challenges, we must develop resiliency. Here is where failure comes in.
Fail Forward
Failure, in itself, is a challenge; however, it can only take effect once it is accepted. In other words, true failure happens only when one chooses to give up. Therefore, the experience of failure is no more than a choice in the moment.
Every great person has experienced adversity at one or more stages in his or her life, those who experience it the most, develop tremendous resiliency and eventually become experts at exceeding their boundaries. In other words, they become masters at overcoming their challenges and unlocking their unlimited potential. Take Steve Jobs as an example, Steve Jobs experienced adversity a number of times before reaching the level of success that he has reached. His will and desire to "get a computer in the hands of everyday people" gave him the resiliency to continue forth with his vision, despite his challenges.
Every legend needs a compelling story to leave a inspiring legacy, pits and falls compliment pinnacles and peaks.

Why housebuilders need PR – it's not just about selling homes
The housing market is in a funny place right now, and it has been for quite some time. New homes are being built, but not enough of them. Yet those that are being built aren't selling at the speed that they need to.
One question that never changes though – no matter where we are in an economic cycle – is 'do housebuilders really need PR'?
When times are good, homes sell on the back of local adverts and Rightmove listings. When they are tough, sales slow down and belts get tightened.
Why then should housebuilders water down their profit margin by throwing good money at corporate branding, promoting developments and reputation management, if their units are either going to sell easily or not?
It's a familiar dilemma and one that I have heard over the years from developers of all sizes, from the smaller regional outfits to the big plc housebuilders. I have a lot of empathy for the financial decision, but are they missing a trick, or indeed the point of PR all together?
If just viewed as another marketing tool to help sell a home that is already marketed in many other ways, then quite rightly PR is a luxury that has no real value. However, PR is much more than that. It is not just getting a pretty picture of a home in the weekend newspaper supplements; it is public relations. Written differently it is establishing and maintaining good relationships with your public, be that through media relations, social media, customer engagement or hand in hand with public consultations.
We understand the level of investment it takes to get anywhere close to laying bricks. Big fees are spent on the vital expertise of planning consultants, masterplanners, architects, ecologists, archaeologists, transport consultants, engineers and legal experts, all of whom can throw up any number of surprises with eye-watering figures attached to them. That's even before you've entered the fluctuations of the raw materials and labour market to complete the build process.
Your development team will have sat down with colleagues to formulate a sales and marketing strategy and budget for your projects. They will have worked out a public consultation process to navigate the planning process.
Profit margins on housing developments are tight. So why would you invest money on a process if it isn't an essential part of putting the last tile on the roof or ink on a sales contract?
I would suggest, however, that doing all of this without working on your corporate branding is a little like building a house without a design, technical drawing or plan. You might build a house. It might stay up. You might sell it. But is it the best house you could have designed? Is it the strongest house you could have built? Did you build it in the most cost effective way? Did you build it in the right location? Did you get the most value from your sale? Will the purchaser recommend you to other buyers? Have you appealed to the widest possible customer base or the best quality customer base? Does the house reflect the quality, vision and principles of the company? Does the house create the greatest value for your company?
As a housebuilder you will have addressed, dealt with and invested in all these product development and strategic decisions.
You know what your brand stands for, you probably spent a lot of money with a branding expert to establish how to get your brand messaging across in a logo. Assuming they haven't read your brand guidelines book, or even the 'about us' section of your website (which I'm afraid to say they probably haven't), does your public actually know what you stand for?
So how does good PR and communications add value to a house building business? Ask yourself the following questions:
- Are your values and qualities reflected in your corporate branding? Is your brand visible beyond your website, logo and hoardings and do they get across what you stand for?
- When you want to pick up the phone to influence people, do they understand your company, your values and the contribution you make to the local economy and community you work in?
- When you are asking a local community to trust you and engage with your developments in a positive way, have you given them a good reason to take you at your word?
- When you come to sell your plots, have you given buyers an emotional reason to pick your off-plan new-build over the off-plan new build from the other developer down the road?
- When you come to set the price point for your homes, does the external perception of your brand add value to the product you create? Could you command a higher margin as a result of long-term investment in your brand positioning?
It is in answering those questions that the real value of investing in public relation lies.
Brand development, corporate positioning and reputation management is not a nice to have – it is an investment in your product, your company, your share price, your profit margin and in speeding up the development process.

We are excited to share that we have created a brand new online home study program, where you'll learn our simple 12 Step System for reprogramming your subconscious mind to become unstoppable & successful in all areas of your life.
This system will help you to live with ease & flow. You will experience on-demand answers & clarity to your biggest questions. You will be guided towards your most purposeful, meaningful, and authentic life.
Now, only a small group of our high-end clients have seen this content at our live workshops.
And many of those fortunate enough to have taken a look at the Ultimate Habits said it is the VERY BEST comprehensive subconscious reprogramming training available… anywhere.
In fact…
This system is so effective, all you have to do is copy what's already working for us, and thousands of our clients worldwide.
And you'll start to experience results in every area of life.
The 12 Ultimate Habits is a year long program based on years of coaching successful business men and women, athletes, celebrities, and other professionals.
The Ultimate Result's Team comprised of Drs. Joy and Roy Martina and Joey Martina will ensure that over a year, your sub-conscious is completely cleansed of limiting beliefs and self-sabotage through the indoctrination of 12 powerful and confidence inspiring habits that come naturally to the uber successful and wealthy.
It took us years to create a system for each foundational area of your life to make sure that you become unstoppable on the path towards your goals. These goals can be as diverse as people there are people on this planet. The concept is to pinpoint all the habits that are not moving you towards your goals or moving you away from them, and transform those habits into Ultimate Habits that consistently move you to exactly where you want to be.
We use the natural mental technology of your brain to transform your subconscious habits into conscious chosen systems designed to bring you to success automatically.
On average, it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic — 66 days to be exact.And how long it takes a new habit to form can vary widely depending on the behavior, the person, and the circumstances. In other scientific studies, it took anywhere from 18 days to 254 days for people to form a new habit.
That is why our program is 1 year and each month the previous habits are re-enforced to a deeper level! This way we can 100% guarantee results.
- Clarifying your Ultimate Results. What do you actually, truly, deeply desire in life?
- Discovering which patterns in your life are not moving in the direction of those results
- Training you in the art of creating Ultimate Habits and transforming dysfunctional habits
- Systematically going through each area of your life:
Each month, you receive a video fully explaining the Ultimate Habit that you will be transforming that month
24 BRAIN TRAINING AUDIOS (Two Per Ultimate Habit):
Then, to assist your brain in installing the new habits at a fast pace, you download and incorporate the brain training audio recordings that you can listen to while you sleep or at your leisure that combines an array of different mental programming techniques from subliminal messaging to dream integration to help you make a smooth transition from one habit to another. We supply you with a 'long' and a 'short' version of the brain training audio so you can use what suits you best each day.
You then have a short 'Weekly Conscious Lesson' of your coach teaching you which habits to work on each week and how to create Ultimate Habits that will support your Ultimate Results. This "conscious" lesson will help your conscious awareness understand & accept more of that which it is your integrating and changing.
Finally, you will receive a weekly guidebook to help you keep track of all the amazing work you are accomplishing and help you to get the most out of every week.
So, by listening to the brain training audio of the Ultimate Habit you are working on that month, once daily (such as while you sleep) and then tuning into the Weekly Conscious Lesson to add further understanding & acceptance of the material… you are all set to become unstoppable and you are creating your structure for success.
Even though Ultimate Habits has taken over 50 years experience — and a small fortune — to develop, and is based on timeless, proven principles… we want this year-long program to be affordable.
Why? Because our life's mission and purpose is to change the way people use their subconscious minds and to bring healing and harmony to where there is suffering and stress all around the world.
Most year long coaching programs are in the multiple thousands. It's tough to find a proven success coaching system for less than $6000 and developed by people you can trust.
Even to work with our Ultimate Results Team privately can cost upwards of $100,000 for a 50 hour package which can be spread out throughout the year.
Therefore, we made it our mission here to create a 12 month program that would shift & transform every area of life for what works out to a small investment of money, time, and energy each month while providing profound, drastically life-changing results.
Your investment for the 12 month Ultimate Habits program is definitely less than $6000… it's not even $2000… you can get it for $997
NO RISK GUARANTEE: The 30-day No Risk Guarantee is 30 days from your date of purchase. Giving you the first 30 days of this program to confirm that you've made the right decision.

Location: Giffords Circus, London
Hello August! It feels as though this year has sped by at an alarming rate, with so much going on on all fronts. Between travel, work and family and friend commitments such as weddings, engagements, babies and sadly funerals I don't know where half the time went! It was also the year that I turned 30 and I had the best time celebrating in Abu Dhabi. You can read more about that here. As we are in August and summer will start to sizzle away, that means we all need to get back to either work or school. New jobs, a new year at university or school, new friends and faces. Now that I am 30 I see all of this differently to how I did ten years ago and as I speak to people who are sometimes younger than me, I thought I would write a post on the five things I wish I knew ten years ago, in the hopes that it might help those who are still in their early twenties with what they are going through at the moment.
Focus on Passions, not Money
I think this is one of the main things I wish I knew when I was younger, studying and going through university. When it came to choosing a career, my whole reason for studying and working hard was to get me a job that could offer me the life that I wanted – and that meant designer clothes, lots of travel and fancy hotels. All of these things are lovely, but they mean nothing at all if you have to spend your days doing something that you don't want to do (click here). The concept of being an entrepreneur or being anything other than the staple accountant, lawyer, doctor was just so foreign to me. Being an artist, or a kinesiologist or writer was just not an option. Those were hobbies – not a career. How wrong was I! The concept of how much money you could stand to make should never be the reason you pick a career. What do you like doing? What can you see yourself doing day in day out for the rest of your life? What excites you? It should be these factors that you think about.
Luck is Working Hard
This point actually follows on from the first. If you love something, work really hard at it and practise continuously, then the money will come. Luck has nothing to do with it – it's all down to the effort and hard work you put in. They say that it takes a minimum of 480 hours (the equivalent of two solid months) to learn a new language. Let's say that you do 10 hours a day for 48 days solely focused on learning French. Statistics say that you will be fluent in French in about two months. You are effectively going to be doing that with the career you choose, ten hours a day, everyday, for the next however many odd years. Think about how good you are going to grow to be! Now imagine that you are doing that with something you love – it doesn't take a genius to see that you will be successful in your chosen field if you just keep at it, work hard and practise. The luck will happen on the back of your efforts.
Travel the World
There's a saying that travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer and I think this is so true. Whilst I'm lucky to say that I have travelled a lot at this point, I really wish I had caught the travel bug earlier. Travel is not just about visiting a new place and seeing the landmarks. It's about learning about the people, the traditions, the culture, the cuisines and religions. It broadens your mind and makes you more understanding and accepting of how people are. The open-mindedness that you get from travelling just can't be learnt from staying in the same place. I recently wrote a post talking about how I get to travel so much, along with some tips on how you can travel more too. You can check that out by clicking here.
Stop Caring About What Others Think
I can't stress this enough. When you are younger it's all about fitting in, being part of the right groups, wearing the right things, posting the right things on social media and the list goes on. When you are older, you will realise how much these things DO NOT MATTER. Your friends when you're 16 will not necessarily be the same people you hang out with when you are 29. Your thoughts and how you see things will change; your ambitions change. You will design your own life and gravitate towards people who are more in line with your way of thinking. It took me a long time to get over this when starting the blog. I was so worried about what people think, how it wouldn't tie into my financial background, how people would judge. Now I'm so glad I did it and honestly could not be happier that I did. Those who don't like it don't have to follow – and that's the attitude you need to take. If people don't like what you're doing, so what! For all you know, those same people who never engage with you may be those same people who are jealous of your every move (and actually want you to feel like you aren't going to make it!!). Just be confident in who you are, what you are doing and the rest will all fall into place.
Don't Limit Yourself
Sometimes, I think we do not always know what we are capable of. We remain locked in our immediate circle and surroundings and forget that their is so much else going on in the world, and that you can be a part of it. In my own experience, when I was younger I never would have thought that moving overseas was possible, neither to work or study, just because it was expected of me to hang around in Malta, go to university there and to continue on working on the island. I always knew that I had big dreams and wanted to have a life more than that, but just didn't know how. Moving to London to do my masters was one of the best things I ever did and I wish I knew that I could have moved away sooner. When planning out your life and career path, don't forget that you always have options. You don't have to study or work in the place you grew up, you don't have to live the life that's planned for you by others and you definitely don't have to feel limited in any way. The world is your oyster and you can do and be anything you want to be.
'So many people live their lives at the mercy of fear. They play it safe and they take no risks; and while they may end up with less bumps and bruises, their life is often starved of magic. And so it must be said that the person who doesn't risk anything, risks everything'
There you have it – the five things I wish I knew ten years ago. I hope the post above helped you in some way if you are a ten year younger version of me. I hope that it made you feel as though you have options and that you can do whatever you want to do and be whoever you want to be. If you are my age, what tips do you have for your younger self? List them in the comments below!

SAVANNAH — The Latest on Georgia elections (all times local):
12:15 p.m.
Democrats who took control of the U.S. House in the midterm elections are still hoping for upset victories over Republican incumbents in two extremely close congressional races in the Atlanta suburbs.
Unofficial returns Wednesday morning showed GOP Reps. Karen Handel and Rob Woodall neck-and-neck with Democratic challengers. Both races were too close to call and campaigns said they were still awaiting final tallies of absentee ballots.
Handel faces Democratic gun-control activist Lucy McBath in metro Atlanta's 6th District. Handel is running again after winning a closely watched special election last year against Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Woodall is being challenged by Democratic college professor Carolyn Bourdeaux in the neighboring 7th District.
Either race could trigger a recount if the final vote margin separating the rivals is 1 percent or less.
3:25 a.m.
Several statewide races in Georgia remain too close to declare a winner.
Georgia Democrats are hoping for some upset victories after Republicans have kept them shut out of all statewide offices since 2010. Unofficial election returns showed tight races for open seats for secretary of state and insurance commissioner. Two GOP members of the Public Service Commission are also in close contests with Democratic challengers.
Runoffs were possible in the secretary of state's race as well as the two PSC contests because Libertarians candidates on the ballot could keep any candidate from surpassing 50 percent of the vote as required to win. Any runoff elections for statewide office would be held Dec. 4.
3 a.m.
Republican nominee for Georgia governor Brian Kemp says he is "confident victory is near" but is waiting on final results in the close race.
Kemp told supporters at his election party Tuesday night that "the math is on our side to win this election" but stopped short of claiming victory.
Earlier, opponent Stacey Abrams implied that a runoff is likely in the election. The Democrat told supporters they would "have a chance to do a do-over."
The Associated Press has not called the race.
Kemp has a narrow lead in the vote count but the race could still go to a runoff. In Georgia, a race goes to an automatic runoff if neither candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote.
2:40 a.m.
Republican Geoff Duncan has been elected Georgia's next lieutenant governor.
Duncan of Cumming defeated Democratic businesswoman Sarah Riggs Amico of Marietta in the race for the state's No. 2 office Tuesday. Duncan will succeed GOP Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, who held the job for 12 years before stepping aside this year to run unsuccessfully for governor.
Duncan becomes only the second Republican elected lieutenant governor in Georgia since the position was created in the mid-1940s. The lieutenant governor's primary responsibility is to preside over the state Senate.
Duncan is a business executive and former minor-league baseball player. He served five years in the state House before stepping down last year to run for lieutenant governor.
2:36 a.m.
Georgia's Republican attorney general has won his first election for the statewide job he was appointed to fill two years ago.
Attorney General Chris Carr defeated Democrat Charlie Bailey in Tuesday's election. It was Carr's first contested race since Gov. Nathan Deal appointed him in November 2016 to fill the unexpired term of then-Attorney General Sam Olens, who left to become president of Kennesaw State University.
Bailey is a former Fulton County prosecutor who accused Carr of lacking the legal experience to serve in the job. Carr earned his law degree in 1999. He previously spent three years leading the Georgia Department of Economic Development and six years as chief of staff to U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson.
Carr says those roles prepared him well for managing the attorney general's office.
2:20 a.m.
Two Georgia Republicans seeking re-election to Congress are locked in tight races with Democratic challengers in districts that once were considered safe for the GOP.
Republican Rep. Karen Handel faced Democratic gun-control activist Lucy McBath on Tuesday in metro Atlanta's 6th District. Four-term Rep. Rob Woodall was matched with Democratic college professor Carolyn Bourdeaux in the neighboring 7th District. Unofficial election returns showed both races were too close to call, with only a thin margin separating the rivals.
Democrats hoped to capitalize on voters disaffected by President Donald Trump, as well as demographic shifts that have made Atlanta's suburbs less white.
Handel was running again after winning a closely watched special election last year against Democrat Jon Ossoff. Woodall has held his seat since 2011.
1:50 a.m.
Democrat Stacey Abrams says votes remain to be in the tight Georgia governor's race and vows to wait for them all.
Abrams told supporters at her election night party Tuesday that they would "have a chance to do a do-over" in her race against Republican Brian Kemp, implying a runoff.
Kemp has a narrow lead in the vote count, but it was still possible the race could go to a runoff. In Georgia, a race goes to an automatic runoff if neither candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote.
Early returns showed Kemp running up large margins across rural and small-town Georgia, but parts of metro Atlanta, where Abrams' strength is concentrated, had yet to report.
Some of those Atlanta-area counties had extended voting hours for some precincts to accommodate the crowds and compensate for problems.
11:21 p.m.
Republican Gary Black has been re-elected to a third term as Georgia's agriculture commissioner.
Black defeated Democratic challenger Fred Swann of Macon at the polls Tuesday. The GOP incumbent spent the campaign's final weeks promising help for south Georgia farmers whose crops were devastated by Hurricane Michael.
Swann is a software developer and Democratic Party officer in central Georgia who accused Black of favoring large agricultural corporations at the expense of small family farms.
Black of Commerce defended his record since taking office in 2011, saying food safety inspections, promotion of Georgia-grown crops and school nutrition programs have all improved under his watch.
11:20 p.m.
Georgia's Republican state school superintendent has been re-elected to a second term.
Incumbent Superintendent Richard Woods defeated Democrat Otha Thornton Jr. of Richmond Hill in a statewide election Tuesday.
Woods has served as Georgia's top education official for the past four years. He's a former social studies teacher and school administrator from rural Irwin County.
Thornton is a former military officer who in 2013 became the first black man named president of the National PTA. He was endorsed by Arne Duncan, who served as education secretary under President Barack Obama.
11:18 p.m.
Georgia's Republican labor commissioner has won election to a third term in office.
Labor Commissioner Mark Butler beat Democratic challenger Richard Keatley of Tucker in a statewide election Tuesday. Butler of Carrollton has held the office since 2011.
The state labor commissioner enforces Georgia labor regulations, oversees unemployment programs and produces statistics on the state labor market.
Keatley is a former Georgia State University professor of French and Italian. Keatley ran unsuccessfully last year in the special election for metro Atlanta's 6th Congressional District.
11:05 p.m.
Democratic U.S. Rep. David Scott has won a ninth term in his metro Atlanta district.
Scott defeated Republican David Callahan in the Democrat-leaning 13th District as midterm elections were held Tuesday to determine which party controls Congress.
Scott of Riverdale has held the seat since 2003. The district covers portions of six counties in metro Atlanta.
Callahan of South Fulton describes himself as a part-time driver and former printing company manager.
11:02 p.m.
Republican U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk has won a third term in his northern Georgia district.
Loudermilk defeated Democratic rival Flynn Broady Jr. as elections were held Tuesday to determine which party controls Congress. Loudermilk of Cassville was re-elected to the 11th District.
The district was drawn to favor Republicans and covers Bartow and Cherokee counties as well as a large portion of Cobb County north of Atlanta.
Loudermilk has held the seat since 2015. Broady is an attorney from Marietta.
11 p.m.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson has won re-election to his seat in metro Atlanta.
Johnson of Lithonia defeated Republican Joe Profit in Tuesday's midterm election showdown for control of Congress. Johnson's victory means he'll return to Washington for a seventh term representing Georgia's 4th District.
The district covers portions of DeKalb, Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale counties in metro Atlanta. Johnson has held the seat since 2007.
Profit is a GOP businessman and former Atlanta Falcons running back.
10:20 p.m.
Republican U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter has won re-election to his district in southeast Georgia.
Carter won a third term in Congress by defeating Democrat Lisa Ring of Richmond Hill on Tuesday in the midterm election battle for control of the U.S. House.
Carter represents the 1st Congressional District, which includes portions of 16 Georgia counties from Savannah to the Georgia-Florida state line. Carter, a pharmacist from Pooler, has held the seat since 2015.
Ring is a former corrections officer and military spouse who ran her first campaign for public office.
9:55 p.m.
Voters have re-elected Republican U.S. Rep. Jody Hice to a third term in eastern Georgia.
Hice defeated Democratic challenger Tabitha Johnson-Green in the 10th District as midterm elections were held Tuesday to determine control of Congress.
Hice is a Southern Baptist pastor from Monroe who has held the 10th District seat since 2015. Johnson-Green is a nurse from Sandersville.
The 10th District covers portions of 25 counties in eastern Georgia and includes the cities of Athens and Milledgeville.
9:32 p.m.
Freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson has won his first re-election campaign in western Georgia.
Ferguson of West Point defeated Democrat Chuck Enderlin in Tuesday's midterm election battle for control of the U.S. House.
Ferguson represents western Georgia's 3rd District, which includes portion of 13 counties along or near the Georgia-Alabama state line.
Enderlin of Newnan is a Delta Air Lines pilot and a political newcomer.
9:25 p.m.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop has been re-elected to serve a 14th term in southwest Georgia's 2nd District.
Bishop of Columbus defeated Republican Herman West Jr. in Tuesday's midterm elections as candidates battled nationwide for control of the U.S. House.
The 2nd District covers 29 counties in southwest Georgia and includes the cities of Columbus, Macon and Albany. Bishop has held the seat since 1993.
West of Albany is a pastor and former police officer making his first attempt at winning public office.
9:15 p.m.
Republican U.S. Rep. Rick Allen has defended his seat to win a third term in eastern Georgia.
Allen of Augusta defeated Democratic challenger Francys Johnson in the 12th District race Tuesday, when midterm elections were held nationwide to determine which party controls Congress.
Allen has held the seat since 2015. Johnson is a Statesboro attorney, pastor and a former president of the Georgia NAACP.
The 12th District covers portions of 19 counties in eastern Georgia and includes the cities of Augusta, Statesboro and Vidalia.
9:10 p.m.
A group of voters has filed a lawsuit seeking to keep Georgia's secretary of state, who's also the Republican candidate for governor, from further presiding over the midterm elections.
Nonprofit Protect Democracy said in a news release that the lawsuit was filed at 5 p.m. Tuesday, two hours before polls closed in Georgia.
As secretary of state, Brian Kemp is the state's top elections official. The lawsuit seeks to keep him from being involved in counting votes, certifying results or any runoff or recount. Those are responsibilities of the secretary of state's office or the state election board, of which he is a member.
The lawsuit says that Kemp presiding over an election in which he is a candidate "violates a basic notion of fairness."
A Kemp spokeswoman didn't respond to an email Tuesday evening seeking comment.
9:05 p.m.
Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia has defeated a Democratic challenger who spent much of the race locked away in jail.
Graves of Ranger won re-election Tuesday to the state's 14th District. His opponent, Democrat Steve Foster, was sentenced to six months in jail for drunken driving in August. Foster of Dalton refused to quit the race and remained behind bars until Election Day. His attorney, Richard Murray, said Foster was released Tuesday.
The northwest Georgia seat Graves has held since 2010 strongly favors Republicans. Foster would have been considered a longshot even if he had not been jailed.
9 p.m.
Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins has been re-elected to his seat in northeast Georgia.
Collins of Gainesville overcame Democratic challenger Josh McCall on Tuesday as midterm elections were held across the U.S. to determine which party controls Congress.
The win grants Collins with a fourth term in Georgia's 9th District, a seat he's held since 2013. McCall is a high school teacher from Gainesville.
The 9th District covers portions of 20 counties in the northeast corner of Georgia.
8:15 p.m.
A judge has extended voting hours at more polling locations in Georgia, where some voters have complained of waiting for hours in long lines.
An order issued Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court says one polling place in the county, home to much of Atlanta, must allow voters to keep casting ballots until 9 p.m. — a full two hours after polls closed statewide. Two additional polling locations must remain open even longer, until 10 p.m.
A court in neighboring Gwinnett County also extended hours Tuesday at three polling places.
Some Georgia voters have reported waiting as long as three hours to vote Tuesday because of a shortage of voting machines and other problems at poll locations.
7:30 p.m.
Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp — who is also in charge of the state's election — had problems voting.
The Georgia governor's race is one of the most closely-watched in the country, due in part to an ongoing dispute over Kemp's management of the election system.
Kemp had an issue with his voter card when he went to cast his ballot, but it was fixed quickly. He walked by reporters and said: "Take Two."
There have been widespread reports of technical malfunctions and long lines at polling stations across the state.
Over the weekend, a private citizen alerted the Georgia Democratic Party and a private attorney of potential vulnerability in the online voter database that Kemp oversees in his current job as secretary of state.
Kemp later announced, without providing any evidence, that he was launching an investigation into Georgia Democrats for "possible cybercrimes."
7:10 p.m.
Officials in one Georgia county have been ordered to extend voting hours at three poll locations.
Under an order issued Tuesday in Gwinnett County Superior Court, two polling locations in the county are staying open until 7:14 and 7:30 p.m. respectively. A third location will continue allowing voters to cast ballots until 9:25 p.m.
The site staying open latest is Annistown Elementary school, where some voters reported waiting in line up to three hours Tuesday.
Joe Sorenson is a spokesman for the Gwinnett County, Georgia, supervisor of elections. He said earlier Tuesday some precincts had issues with "express polls," which create cards that amount to electronic ballots.
1:25 p.m.
Voters in an Atlanta neighborhood arrived at a library that's been their polling site for years to find a car with two hand-written signs on its windshield that said, "NOT A VOTING LOCATION."
Jessica Olson says she's lived in the Midtown neighborhood near the library polling place where she's voted for nearly 10 years. Suddenly this year, she was told she isn't supposed to vote here. Instead, she's supposed to go to a church nearly 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) away.
In this pedestrian neighborhood, many walk to the polls.
Fulton County said in a statement that the change was made in early 2018 because the library will close for renovations.
At the new polling site at the church, 26-year-old Mylandria Ponder says she's been waiting an hour and 20 minutes and now is leaving, although she hopes to return later in the day.
12:05 p.m.
Some voters in one of Georgia's most diverse counties are complaining that they've had to wait more than 3 hours to cast their ballots at a polling place in Snellville, east of Atlanta.
Ontaria Woods said she arrived at Annistown Elementary School at 7 a.m. Tuesday to vote. More than three hours later, she was still waiting, with roughly 75 to 100 people in line. She said she witnessed about two dozen people leave in frustration without voting because of the long wait.
Joe Sorenson is a spokesman for the Gwinnett County, Georgia, supervisor of elections. He says he can't confirm the wait times, but he says four precincts have had issues with "express polls," which create cards that amount to electronic ballots.
11:30 a.m.
The elections director in Atlanta says he's heard of long lines Tuesday morning but no other issues, despite what has been posted on Twitter.
Richard Barron, Fulton County's director of registration and Elections, says "Twitter's irrelevant," and he doesn't trust anything he reads there.
He blames some problems on a limited number of machines available because of a federal judge's order to sequester more than 700 of the county's voting machines more than a year ago.
Barron said the county only had 40 spare machines, so if there are widespread problems, that judge's order was not going to help matters.
10:45 a.m.
Georgia voters finally get their say in a hotly contested gubernatorial race.
Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams have been locked in a tight race for months.
There were problems with the voting machines in Gwinnett County on Tuesday morning. Paper ballots were being used at a school near Snellville. Hundreds of voters were in line late Tuesday morning, waiting to make their choices.
Gwinnett County spokesman Joe Sorenson said the problem was not electrical. He said new equipment is being brought to the school.
Georgia Democrats hope enthusiasm for Abrams' gubernatorial campaign will help them win open seats for lieutenant governor, secretary of state and insurance commissioner.
Republicans have held all the statewide offices in Georgia since 2010.
1:20 a.m.
Georgia voters are turning out to decide several key Election Day contests beyond the heated race for governor between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.
Democrats hope enthusiasm for Abrams' campaign will also help them win open seats for lieutenant governor, secretary of state and insurance commissioner. Republicans have successfully shut out Democrats from holding any statewide office in Georgia since 2010.
Republican Reps. Karen Handel and Rob Woodall face strong Democratic challengers in metro Atlanta congressional districts long considered safe for the GOP. Democrats see a potential opening as demographic shifts have made the Atlanta suburbs less white.
Meanwhile, Republican incumbents on the utility-regulating Public Service Commission are running amid an outcry over spiraling costs for the Plant Vogtle nuclear plant expansion.
