Politics 101: the "blurred line" between consent and sexual assault
Fatima Olumee hashes out society's revised definition of sexual consent in response to rising reports of sexual assault and harassment.
In the wake of the #MeToo movement, we seem to be entering a new era of holding perpetrators of sexual assault and harassment accountable for their wrongdoings. Generations of victim-blaming, rape culture and turning a blind eye to the genuine issue at hand finally seem to be catching up to something resembling progress. But how did the floodgates of victims speaking their truth burst open?
A little bit of background...
You may be under the impression that the #MeToo movement began in 2017 with actress Alyssa Milano's iconic tweet rallying victims into action. Believe it or not, the origins of the movement started over a decade before the fact. According to Chicago Tribune, Tarana Burke coined the term "Me Too" in 2006 as a means for helping women, particularly those of colour like herself, survive the trauma of sexual violence.
Flash forward to eleven years later, in October 2017, allegations of sexual abuse against media-tycoon Harvey Weinstein emerged, with actresses and ex-employees like Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd and Emily Nestor coming out and telling their traumatic stories. Soon, it wasn't just Weinstein under the interrogation lamp. Allegations of sexual abuse and/or misconduct against Kevin Spacey, Roy Price and Matt Lauer also hit the news. These stories were followed by many more, uncovering the seedy underbelly of Hollywood. Soon, it became apparent that this issue wasn't just rife in the entertainment industry. Disturbing tales of Republican Senate nominee, Roy Moore, who allegedly preyed on underage girls, came to light. A team doctor for an Olympic Gymnast team, Lawrence G Nassar, was also imprisoned for sexually assaulting his patients. Evidently, this issue is a worldwide concern across every industry known to man.
What is sexual consent anyway?
Reading through all these horrific stories, one cannot help but wonder what connects all these incidents together. And it's the lack of consent given in all these situations. In many ways, the concept of consent has either been oversimplified or not fully understood by many people.
Gone are the days where a mere "yes" was recognised as the green-light for sex. If you're looking for a simplified explanation of consent, check out Blue Seat studio's 'Consent Tea' video.
According to Director of Equity and Diversity UTS, Tracie Conroy, sexual consent, "relies on both verbal and non-verbal" communication. Ms. Conroy says that during a sexual encounter, if "your body and your language aren't matching, it's really up to the other person to check and double-check."
It's all about shifting the responsibility onto each and every one of us to make sure our sexual partner is willing. Ms. Conroy agrees that gaining one's consent can sometimes be difficult when one is "in the heat of the moment." However, she feels that "it really takes 15 seconds to gain assurance that the other person is okay with what you're about to do."
Rachel Bussel, in Friedman and Valenti's Yes means Yes! Visions of Female Sexual Power & a World Without Rape (an excellent anthology of essays that I encourage everyone to read), argues that consent goes beyond the traditional "yes" or "no." It also means sexual partners honestly communicating what they like or dislike, leading to mutual satisfaction. It's the 'mutual' aspect that is a core part of ethical, consensual sex.
This new definition of consent dismantles many traditional ideas such as:
Someone cannot be raped by a person they are in a relationship with.
A person who gives legal consent cannot later change their mind.
Someone who gives verbal consent ("yes") but is exhibiting signs of discomfort through their body language has given consent.
Sexual Consent-training in Universities:
It's not often that our society is actively encouraged to have these conversations about sex both with our sexual partners and in environments such as schools and universities. This cone of silence essentially facilitates rape culture and a lack of discussion surrounding what it means to give consent.
Ms. Conroy feels that high school and tertiary sex education is in need of an overhaul. "Our schools are letting [students] down by only addressing the plumbing [of sex]."
The 2017 National report on sexual assault and sexual harassment at Australian universities by the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is what made this issue that much more difficult to ignore. Of the people who took the survey nationally, 51% were harassed in 2016 (on and off campus), while 26% were harassed on campus. Similarly, 6.9% of respondents were sexually assaulted in 2015-16, with 1.6% assaulted on campus. This study, followed by reports of hazing and sexual assault that was slid under the rug by the University of Sydney, subsequently ignited anger among students and the general public.
It became clear that Australian Universities needed to take action in the way of educating students on ethical sex and sexual consent. Universities began scrambling to protect their reputations by implementing online sexual consent training modules. The University of Sydney targeted their online modules towards first-years only and was widely criticised for putting a band-aid over a bigger issue. The University of Wollongong and UTS have collaborated with AHRC on a "Respect. Now. Always." campaign designed to raise awareness on sexual assault on-campus.
UTS has also been taking action. In conjunction with UTS Counselling, it has been running the Sex and Ethics training for all the residential networkers in UTS Housing since 2011. They are also planning to launch an hour-long mandatory consent training module for all students. Ms. Conroy says this will be just the beginning of the necessary awareness programs that will be implemented.
Ms. Conroy feels that through "anger and action", "the challenging of...inappropriate behaviours of sexual misconduct towards women and men… has [marked] a very pivotal time going forward."

Breakfast pancakes have often been associated with sweet things. Chopped fruits or whole berries are sometimes stirred into the batter. Before serving, syrup is drizzled over them and the pancakes get smothered with more sweetness.
But pancakes can be savory and be just as delicious and comforting. It's true. Make your pancake batter, stir in bacon, bell peppers and scallions, then cook as usual. Instead of the traditional sweet syrup, pour melted cheese over them. Oooh, they're really good.
Bacon and pepper pancakes with cheese saucePrint Pin
For the cheese topping
- 1 cup cheese grated (any soft cheese should melt well but mozzarella is not recommended for this recipe)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons milk
- Heat a non-stick pan. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat until a little fat has been rendered. Add the chopped bell pepper and scallions. Cook, stirring for about a minute. Transfer the mixture to a plate and cool.
- While the bacon mixture cools, make the pancake batter.
- Stir together the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
- In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the egg and milk.
- Add the flour mixture and stir just until blended.
- Pour in the melted butter and fold in.
- Add the bacon mixture to the batter. Stir lightly to combine.
- Reheat the pan (where some bacon fat goodness still covers the bottom) and start cooking the pancakes. Click here for tips.
- You should be able to make about eight pancakes with the ingredients given above.
- For the topping, stir together the grated cheese and milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for about two minutes or just until the cheese is soft enough to be stirred into a thick, smooth sauce.
- Stack the pancakes and pour some cheese sauce over them. If you want added depth of flavor, color and texture, sprinkle with more sliced scallions and a little cayenne.

I've always loved to travel and discover new countries and I've been lucky in my adult life to venture to some wonderful places. Whenever we decide to go on holiday I spend ages researching places and types of holidays that we can go on. Since having the girls there are more things to consider and factor in.
One type of holiday that I've never considered and not really looked into, especially for families is going on a cruise. I had visions of us being stuck on this ship with 2 young children and not a lot to do to entertain them. How wrong was I!
Last weekend we were invited to go on board the Royal Caribbean Independence Of The Seas and I literally squealed with delight, having seen photos of it and knowing that they had a waterpark on the top deck, I knew my girls were going to love it.
It has recently had a refurbishment and I couldn't wait to see what they had done.
We couldn't have been more lucky with the weather and as we left the house bright and early for the short trip to Southampton to board the ship, the girls were getting more and more excited. As we parked the car and walked over to the ship, Alice (and I) couldn't get over how big it actually is. I mean it's crazy big!
Once we were onboard we headed to the top deck and the girls got their first sight of Sharkbay the water park and they couldn't wait to go in there after lunch.
Around the top deck is a running track for those people who like to do a bit of exercise and of course its great fun for children too. My girls loved having races up and down it.
Alice was amazed at how high up we were and how far she could see.
There was lots of different seating areas, as well as sun loungers all around the edge of the ship to give you some amazing views. They even had children size sun loungers which I've never seen before and the girls loved them.
We then headed inside the ship to see what it was like. There is a long strip, a bit like a high street with shops, cafes and a sweet shop with a man outside giving the children a little pot with 2 sweets in to try which was really lovely and of course they loved it!
Everywhere you looked it just screamed luxury, but not in a way that made you feel uncomfortable. We didn't feel out of place with our children making noise, and getting excited about everything they could see. In one of the cafes, there was coffee, tea and water tanks where you can go and help yourself throughout the day.
There was a car in the middle of the strip and Holly was so desperate to get in it. I wasn't sure if they were allowed to or not, so she just looked longingly at it.
It was pretty busy, but my dad who has been on a few cruises says it's always like that on the first day as everyone is desperate to see and do everything and it calms down as the cruise goes on.
When it comes to restaurants there are lots of different options, there is a beautiful rather posh restaurants that is over 3 floors that you can have dinner in.
At the back end of the ship there is Johnny Rockets the hamburger restaurant which looked cool.
We ate in the Windjammer restaurant which is the main self service restaurant in the middle of the ship. There was a wide variety of different styles of food and something to suit everyone. A particular highlight of our day is as you walk into the restaurant there is a man playing a guitar singing a song all about washing your hands! Yes, you read that right. As you walk in there are large sinks either side for everyone to wash their hands before entering the restaurant. Hygiene is a big thing onboard the ship.
Alice couldn't get over how much food there was too choose from and was eyeing up the cakes from the start.
The great thing is you can take the food out of the restaurant and eat outside if you wish too. We had lunch with a view.
With lunch finished there was only one place that my girls wanted to be on a hot sunny day and that was in Sharkbay and I don't blame them it looked like a lot of fun. Once they were changed and plenty of suncream on, they couldn't wait to get wet.
Both my girls are water babies and they were in their element. Alice wasted no time in wanting to go down they yellow waterslide.
Holly loved the smaller blue slide and she literally went up and down it for ages. so cute!
They both loved running through all the water fountains and colourful rings.
There were two hot tubs within Sharkbay and this was definitely one of their favourite places to go. Probably because it was nice and warm. Andy loved it as it gave him a rest too!
This is probably one of my favourite photos of my girls. They love each other so much and are always really loving towards each other, even in the pool. These are the moments and the memories I want to make for them.
There was a pool area too, where they could swim and go underneath this large waterfall which was great fun. This giant rainbow wall separated the 2 pool areas and the other side was a quieter pool.
At the other end of the ship is the FlowRider which is where you can try out surfing and it looked like great fun.
There was also The Perfect Storm waterslides which are the ones you can see on top of the ship and they look like fun. I think that after a couple of days to warm up to them, Alice would've been down them a lot.
You really get an idea of how big the ship is and how high you are, with amazing views!
Next to the FlowRider is a children's play area and some hammocks, which of course I had to try out!
Also at this end of the ship is a rock climbing wall and the SkyPad, where you can go on a trampoline whilst attached to a bungee. Unfortunately they were not open and we couldn't try them out.
Seeing the world through the eyes of my three year old, I can only imagine what it must be like for her to see the world like this.
We had a truly amazing time and there was still so much we didn't get to see, like the crazy golf, the full size theatre and a chance to see the staterooms where the passengers sleep.
I can't thank Royal Caribbean enough for inviting us onboard, the girls haven't stopped talking about the ship since we left and are asking when they get to go back. I think we can safely say that we've had our eyes opened to taking a cruise with the girls. There was just so much to do for them and us. Now we just need to get saving!

Workshop between the Instituts de Recherche Technologique (IRTs) and the Catapult Centres
At the initiative of the Science and Technology Department, the senior representatives of the French IRTs and of the British Catapult Centres gathered on 28 February 2017 at the Residence of France in London with the view to share experiences and exchange knowledge around the question of strategic positioning for innovation.
Invited to participate in a one-day workshop, aimed at exchanging experiences and sharing knowledge around the question of strategic positioning for innovation, senior representatives of IRTs and Catapult Centres gathered on 28 February 2017 at the Residence of France in London.
Credits: SST
This workshop was opened by His Excellency Ambassador Sylvie Bermann, who recalled that France and the United Kingdom present similarities in many fields (historical, economic, populations, cooperation, etc.), and also differences, particularly in terms of innovation success (as can be noted in various european and global rankings of innovation).
Following a half-day session in May 2016, organized in Paris by the British Embassy in France, this workshop aimed at exploring issues featuring common interest or challenges. To this end, the program was based on the concrete experiences shared by these two types of innovation players, in particular on the strengths and weaknesses of their strategic positioning with regard to interactions with both academic and private partners (SMEs and large companies). The roundtable discussions on these themes were rich and enabled the participants to continue the preliminary discussions held in Paris last May and to deepen their knowledge of the innovation ecosystem in the other country.
Credits: SST
The afternoon focused on the exploration of technological or thematic opportunities whose development and/or markets could benefit from bilateral cooperation. Again, discussions were launched after two presentations of concrete examples of cooperation between IRTs and Catapult Centres currently developing common projects. In particular, these round tables helped in identifying complementary technologies and/or activities between UK centres and French institutes, and to shed light on possible and relevant ways of implementing these bilateral cooperation (financing, financial rules, etc.).

But it is not rote memorization that matters; rather, knowing passages by heart allows us to meditate on God's words and allows them to shape the way we view the world. We are constantly using words to interpret the world around us; having God's word at the ready helps us to see things the way God does.

My living room items get very dusty due to my windows always being open. I have wooden ships and knick knacks. I use compressed air in the can (the same kind I use on my laptop keyboard) to spray the dust off of them. It works great. Just hold on to the item as the compressed air is a bit powerful. It sure cuts down on having to detail them from time to time! Hope this helps anyone out there!
This is a great idea, however, these cans of air are not cheap, and this could be costly. Just my thought...
This doesn't get rid of the dust; it just moves it around and if you have allergies not such a good idea.

Candide (Paperback)
NOT on our shelves now. Usually ships 1-10 business days from warehouse. ETA will be updated with email order confirmation.
Everything which permeates and controls the lives of men is taken to task--romance, science, philosophy, and religion. Naive Candide experiences a series of incredible adventures from which he rebounds maintaining his "sweet" countenance. Voltaire was a colorful figure in Paris in the time just before both France and America began turbulent revolutions for their freedom. Voltaire was a 17th century writer philosopher and supporter of social reform. He spoke openly in defense of civil liberties and freedom of religion. His satires often poked fun at the Catholic Church and other French institutions. Voltaire along with other authors of the Enlightenment period was influential in the American and French Revolutions. Voltaire was a prolific letter writer having written over 21,000 letters. As a young outspoken poet in Paris, Voltaire was often in trouble with the crown. Candide is a satire on the philosophy of optimism. Candide, a gentle and sensible young man, is witness to an unending string of evil disasters and personal calamities, all the while being told by his philosopher-teacher, Pangloss, that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds.

Let's say you have a great story to tell. It's a story that is interesting, relevant and even exciting. As with all good stories, it reveals something about you as the author or the teller. You want a lot of people to hear it.
Way back in the 1900s it was a routine practice to put your story in a news release and pay a big company to send it out to all of the relevant news outlets.

How to calculate one's zakaat
Q: How to calculate zakat if you have some cash like 10000 but you have a loan to pay nearly 400000?
A: Calculate the amount of zakaatable assets you own i.e. cash, gold and silver jewellery and stock in trade. Thereafter, deduct your liabilities from your zakaatable assets and work out 2.5 percent of the remainder (i.e. if the remainder reaches the amount of nisaab or more). This will be the amount that you will have to give out in zakaat. If after deducting your debts you possess less than the nisaab or you do not possess any wealth, then zakaat is not compulsory upon you. For further details regarding the details of which wealth one has to pay zakaat upon, refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/29
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

"You can't control your emotions, but you can control your behavior."
Aidah is a girl with Big Feelings. She gets that from me, along with her freckles and aversion to strangers. But Aidah has the added sparkle of her dad's Big Responses. Drew's booming voice and animated reactions and heightened performer persona all play out on a grand scale when they mix with my Big Feelings in her tiny little body. We see a lot of meltdowns and tears and wailing and SWEEPING DECLARATIONS from our girl. Which is usually pretty funny and fairly harmless…but it's still our responsibility to help her navigate that and grow up to be a functioning human.
And it's really complex to help a three-year-old to see the distinction between her feelings and her behavior. To help her see that we are ONLY disapproving of the behavior. I always feel kind of hypocritical when we have these chats because these are lessons I'm still learning.
I've only recently begun to see my Big Feelings as a superpower. It wasn't until I was in the depth of grief that I realized how powerful my familiarity with my emotions is. My Big Feelings are old companions, ones I've learned to sit with and examine without feeling overwhelmed. I was able to share with my community and get the help I needed and navigate what could have been a catastrophic season of my life with surprising strength.
I'm not moody or overly sensitive. I'm just paying attention. I'm tuned in. So is my Aidah.
I want her to feel her new feelings – especially the seemingly negative ones. Frustration, Anger, Disappointment, Sadness, Fear, Surprise, Uncertainty, Pain, Embarrassment… I don't want her to cover them up or ignore them. Our feelings tell us how to navigate in the world by pointing to areas of friction between ourselves and our environment.
I want her to feel the fullness of them, uncomfortable as that may be, so she can ask herself WHY. Because - at least for me- when I follow that trail from my "negative" emotions, I usually end up at either FEAR or SHAME...and God help me if I let me kid be controlled by either of those monsters.
What we do with these feelings - that's where Aidah and I are both learning to be grown-ups. (Maybe we all are!) We are learning that while our Feelings can certainly be big and feel sudden and uncontrollable…we always have a choice when it comes to our behavior. That's what we are in charge of. Our behavior needs to be KIND and CONSIDERATE. That's a non-negotiable. It's how grown-ups act and it's how Jesus called us to act.
I've learned to talk to myself and to Aidah with basically the same script…(what's concerning is how interchangeable our responses can be…)
It seems like you're feeling frustrated - is that right?
Is it okay to feel frustrated?
What's not okay though?
No, let's talk about this. It's okay to feel frustrated, but we can't be…
You can always make it right. Why don't you go apologize for your behavior and then we'll talk about your feelings later.
And when things simmer down, we chat (her at bedtime or me with my journal…)
Why were you so frustrated?
And then we get to talk about the practicality of the situation. Trying new things is always hard, etc.
But why did you BEHAVE that way?
I tried something new and I'm embarrassed that it didn't work out.
I want to be great at things.
I don't want to waste time.
I don't want to fail.
I'm afraid of failure.
I'm afraid of what people might think.
I'm angry that you let me fall...
Explosive, "negative" behavior almost always finds roots in SHAME (usually a socially conditioned response!) or FEAR (I tackle this as a spiritual issue. I am both honored and overwhelmed at this responsibility). This is so powerful because then I'm able to speak Gospel truth over both of us in response.
You don't have to perform for love or approval – from me or anyone else. You are loved and celebrated unconditionally. You are never alone. You are purposed. You are forgiven. You are hemmed in behind and before.
You are Beloved
You are Beloved
You are Beloved.
And the laughable, beautiful truth of parenting is that I myself need these reminders just as often as she does. We're both only human. I'm just the big kid walking her home.

"When you want to clean the oceans, it is important to know how much plastic is out there. Right now, estimates vary orders of magnitude, due to the small amount of measurements, which furthermore have been taken over very long period. The Mega Expedition will allow us to produce the first-ever high-resolution estimate of the amount of plastic inside the Great Pacific Garbage Patch".
"Increasing our scientific understanding of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is essential to developing effective solutions. It's this type of creative and large-scale thinking that we need to tackle problems like this. We're proud to be welcoming the Mega Expedition to the Port of Los Angeles this year."

The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology are strongly committed to the promotion of professionalism and safe, high-quality care through professional self-regulation. We feel this is best accomplished through ongoing lifelong participation in high-quality, meaningful, and relevant learning activities as well as ongoing assessment related to an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon's current practice. We support the concept of designing learning and assessment activities that can be integrated into the physician's normal workflow. We recognize that these activities require constant development and continuous improvement, including incorporation of feedback from practicing otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeons.

The Children's Fund Programme targets children at an orphanage, who are children infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS, children-victims of trafficking, orphans and abandoned babies. SFODA helps children and youths have a better future through access to safe shelter, recreational and cultural activities, adequate formal and non-formal education and vocational training skills, thus leading to their own business, employment, and successful family reintegration.
Reaching Cambodia supports SFODA Orphanage with food, healthcare, potable safe water and salaries. However, these do not cover the expenses involved with raising a child. Families/individuals are needed to be part of the children's development.
How does it work?
A sponsor/godparent will be combined to a particular child. The sponsor/godparent receives regular updates about their child. Occasionally handmade cards or small letters will be sent to sponsor/godparents from the children. On the other hand, godparents can send gifts to the child through Reaching Cambodia and cards from children are received from time to time.
The cost of the programme is of €330.00 yearly. This supports the particular child with basic necessities needed, mainly educational. The cost of less than $1 a day is not enough to support a child on a daily basis and hence more than one sponsor/godparent is needed for each child. SFODA Orphanage acts as the children's family and hence the programme will support all the children, irrelevant if these are sponsored or not. Therefore each child at the orphanage will have the same meals, clothes, uniforms, healthcare benefits, stationery, satchel, books & other needs. This ensures fairness among the children.
An additional advantage is that children coming from an orphanage are OBLIGED to attend school and therefore education plays an important role in the lives of children at the orphanage, guaranteeing a better future through education – which is a very important fundamental aspect Reaching Cambodia believes in. In addition, Reaching Cambodia has an agreement with SFODA, where volunteers will also be monitoring the children. Reaching Cambodia will be sending the updates to the sponsor/godparent regularly.
If interested in joining the 'Children's Fund Programme – SFODA' you are free to send payment via cheque or bank transfer or should you have further questions, we encourage you to contact us via email on firstname.lastname@example.com.
Payment Details:
Cheque Payable: 'Reaching Cambodia Foundation'
Bank Transfer: BOV Bank
BOV account number: 4002271619-6
IBAN No: MT19VALL22013000000040022716196

IBAN No: MT08APSB77080007553320001409007
Swift Code: APSBMTMT
Upon acknowledgement by email of payment received, interested sponsor/godparent will receive a biography and the first details of the particular child. Biographies are not shared in advance to protect the child's data.

Hi All
I just upgraded my internet package from the 250 Mbs connection to the 1 gig Mbs package. I've upgraded my modem already to an arris surfboard sb8200 (docsis 3.1) and already had it provisioned on my account. The sales person I talked with told me that the 1 gig internet service required someone to come out and "install" it for me, even though I already have working service.
Whats the deal with this? Do they install hardware that I am not aware of?
@jweaver0312 wrote:
As far as I'm aware of the gig service requires a tech visit to install and upgrade. The tech just checks signals and everything to make sure everything is ok to run gigabit service and tries to install their XB6. However you should be able to insist that you want to use your own 8200 that you have and you hopefully shouldn't have an issue getting it active through the tech visit for gigabit.
The installer just left, he did try to bring in equipment. When the installer arrived, he "activated" my gigabit service and monitored the modem to see if it got the correct boot file. It had issues at first, so he made a call and had someone set my account up with the right boot file. Then it worked... not sure why I was just forced to pay $40 bucks for something that could of been done on a phone call.
@jweaver0312 wrote:
The main goal is to check signals. You might be able to make a plea with the 800 number people and they might reverse the charge or they might not.
The comcast installation professional didn't need to set foot on my property to check my signal levels. He was able to do all of this from a mobile application on his phone. Everything I saw leads me to believe this is a straight up money grab, forcing an un-needed visit on users whom don't need a visit.
Can someone explain what is really needed to upgrade to 1GB and why a truck roll is needed? I already have a capable modem (a Motorola MB8600 that is DOCSIS 3.1 with 32 channels down x 8 up) but Comcast support insists that a truck roll is still needed. Frankly I don't really want or need the 1GB download, but really want the better upload speed to what I understand is 32mbps since I upload a lot of photographs.
Support doesn't seem to know what is really needed as I've been told multiple different things now. I asked, and the last Tech support person says they need to run fiber into the house which makes no sense to me as coax cable is outside my house, not fibre. If that is even true, do I need to move my cable modem to where coax cable comes into my house instead of using the coax in my house to another room?
When I ask questions I just get passed on to another support person and then have to start all over again and get a different story each time. After being pass along 4 times now, I've just given up. I've also had different install offers too. One for $0, one for $40, and two for $60. I origionally took the $0 deal and even accepted it, but they mysteriously lost it that deal and all I have to for proof is an SMS from them it and a screen captuue on my iPhone of a generic acceptance screen. I then tried again to order it and they wanted to charge me $60 so I just said no thanks and I'm waiting until I can find out what the real story is.
It's not needed. I bought an MB8600 on Amazon, hooked it up to my existing tier, went to the activation page to register it automatically, logged in, hit a couple of steps online and it was working just fine. To upgrade to Gig I came on here for pricing to match the online new customer offer $89.99/mo w/ 24 month contract. Got the e-mail to confirm the contract and clicked accept on a couple of things and it was active. Tinkered with the lines to adjust the signal to find that my current router was a bottleneck. Replaced the router and got full speeds with a wired connection.
The only time you need a tech is if you're not getting speeds due to a signal issue which you would see if you login to the modem and post the signals here. Usually with working service it shouldn't be an issue but, if you're seeing slower than posted speeds it's usually either a splitter in the house or something outside on the line.
Thanks. I guess I'll just have to escalate during US business hours. I have 400 down / 10 up now and there are no problems. Just want to bump up my upload speed without the run-around.
I escalated and was able to get switched to the Gigabit Internet Tier. I talked to a fantastic Provisioning Engineer who knew is stuff and had great customer service skills. He looked at my signal levels, upgraded my modem firmware, and within 10 minutes I was seeing greatly improved speeds at 650Mbps down and ~41Mbps up all from one Mac. See: http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6945105446 and http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6945111751
No truck roll for me was needed. I'm not saying everyone can do this, but since I had the right equipment (a Motorola MB8600) and good signal levels, it was VERY easy once I talked to the right person.
Great speeds Comcast! Thank you!
Congrats David!
Now, is the 650 through Ethernet or WIFI? Ethernet should be pushing ~950M x ~45M.
650 on WIFI though is pretty good!
In this specific case I was testing on a Mac mini on Gigabit Ethernet.

When Greg met Jade, I couldn't have been more thrilled that he met a girl. We were roommates for an entire year in 2017. Greg and Jade met shortly after he moved out because I was getting married and moving in with my wife, so I like to think that I was a major factor in them getting together.

Sorry for the poor country music reference.
To the delight of many Bulldog fans around the globe, defensive coordinator Willie Martinez exited stage left earlier this week, taking with him several years of a defense in decline.
What was so astounding about Georgia's defense was the general feeling it gave the fans and, presumably, the opposing offense on a given day. Where it used to be nothing short of surprising when an opponent put together a 12 play, 85 yd TD drive against the Dawgs' D, it had now become surprising for Georgia to get a 3-and-out, never mind a turnover.
To channel my inner Christopher Walken (no, not another stinkin' cowbell joke), do you know why the New York Yankees always win? It's because of those damn pinstripes.
Clearly, they've got great players, coaches, etc, but there's just something so key about the intimidation factor. Where teams used to fear the Bulldog defense, and knew they would be lucky to score 20 pts, they could now be confident that they would have a field day.
That is a big reason a change was necessary. Ostensibly, a new DC equals a new defense. Even if Willie was on the right track toward improving the D, it would still be difficult to get that fear factor back.
I'll also go on record as saying that I don't believe Willie was an idiot, a fool, a moron, a clown, or any other expletive-laden disparaging word he may have been called. That's not to say he wasn't out-coached on occasion, but the main problem was not that he didn't know how to stop opposing offenses. The main problem was that he wasn't able to convey his knowledge and ideas down the line to where they would translate to on-the-field success.
I think that, beyond loyalty and not wanting to fire people that he's worked tens of thousands of hours beside, that's why it took Richt so long to let Martinez go. I just get the feeling that Martinez would sit down and do a heck of a job explaining why a game plan will work, and in too many cases, why it should have worked.
In the end (which is where Georgia's defense took it too many times), there just needed to be some new voices shouting on the practice field and from the sideline. Talent is important, and maybe Georgia did not have the talent to be a top 10 defense this year, but they'll always have enough talent to finish better than 10th in the SEC in scoring defense.

It may come as no real surprise to you that High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has landed herself a role in a real-life musical on Broadway.
Gigi opened to the public last night, and to make sure everyone knew who the star of the show is, Vanessa Hudgens rocked up to the after party looking pretty darn incredible.
The brunette beauty selected a colourful, strapless gown for her big night, accessorising with a 90s throw-back choker necklace.
A set of chunky rings, sleek bob and dark, smokey make-up completed Hudgens' leading lady look.
What do you think of Vanessa Hudgens' opening night style? Let us know @CosmopolitanUK

Monday Confessions
Welcome to beginning of the week people. How you doing?
1. We are starting week two of the Insanity workouts at our house this week. They are insane but no joke after only a week of doing it, I feel better already. I don't get as easily winded and it's definitely helping my strength. I still need a plastic surgery to undo the damage my kids did but at least I am doing something about it :)
2. I dig chevron pattern. I know it can be overdone, but done in the right proportions it's great. It's one part Charlie Brown and one part awesomesauce! In case you have no idea, see below!
3. Other things I am loving right now? The Louis XIV Ghost arm chair. Clear, plastic things aren't usually my friends but these intrigue me. They are great design that doesn't take up heavy visual space. (And I could hose it off after my kids :) Industrial chairs are calling me too, maybe for those same indestructible reasons. I love these.
4. I walked down the Easter candy aisle this past weekend to get some goodies for the kids Easter baskets and I had to fully resist the urge to throw Cadbury eggs in my cart! I know they are either a love or hate them type candy but I LOVE them...will power prevailed!
5. It's crazy windy here today and our umbrella took flight from our patio table, somehow smashing it's glass into a thousand peices. We were toying with the idea of replacing it but now I guess we don't have a choice and surely have a whole lot of glass to clean up!
6. I would like to say those of you debating about a family photo session and it's value. Exactly two years ago we scheduled a session with a photographer I respect and love her work. Rae Barnes did a gorgeous family session for us! You might remember this priceless images of our family...
I can't even believe the twins were the age that Max is now. You never know how fast your kids will grow or how your family will change. I will treasure these forever and they validate the fact that you should invest in a photographer who can capture your family as you are. Rae did a wonderful job and I fully recommend her!
We have a family portrait session scheduled in the middle of April with another photographer team we love to capture our family two years later. It's important to create you family's visual history and I am trying to practice what I preach! Now what to wear....
7. I have a landscape crush. Have you ever seen the work of Brook Klausing and team? If not, take a few to check it out. They work in NYC creating amazing landscapes/roofscapes, you name it! Even if you are not a landscape or gardener type, sometimes it's just good to look for creative inspiration in other places - check it out.
8. Almost forgot - I saw the Hunger Games on Saturday night - Thanks to the hubs and Grandparents! I thought it was a great rendition of the story and I enjoyed seeing some of it come to life. What did you think, those of you who got the chance to see it?!
Alright friends...need to scoot! Class tonight...only 6 weeks left of the semester! (not that I am counting, wink wink!)

A micro-church is a group of believers from about 10-50 people following Jesus together, reaching the lost, and making disciples.
These churches are part of a larger regional body of believers (other SALT churches that multiply over time) that work together to see the Kingdom come, the gospel preached, and disciples made in their neighborhoods and cities.
What is a Church?
The scripture calls the church The Body of Christ, God's People, and the Bride of Christ. A church is a group of believers in Jesus following him together and making disciples.
This means that they are reaching people that don't know Jesus, seeing them born again, baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit and beginning a discipleship journey.
Why start a SALT MICRO church?
Because you believe that the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer, period. You have a passion for seeing lost people saved and making disciples and equipping every believer to do the same.
We want to train you to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. To truly live life like Jesus is alive and actively involved in our daily lives. We don't just go to church, we are the church. We think Micro-Churches are the best way to change the world.
If you want to go big, go small…
SALT Churches is a registered 501c3
Any Salt Church leader will go through our Sequoia Church Planting Training Manual and will be reviewed by our Board of Overseers.

Samantha is a Melbourne based Photographer who loves shooting strong and effective imagery. Samantha's aesthetic approach and development began 12 years ago working in the UK working with the likes of Mario Testino, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.
Samantha finds beauty in a more stripped back uncomplicated sensibility, her imagery boldly shows the juxtapositions of the 'human made' with the 'human form'. Samantha strives to produce strong graphic work that is not only compelling but embraces the different side to Australia that she is falling in love with all over again.

Use a lip liner to make your lips fuller
If you want fuller, plumper lips, before you consider having your lips flipped, flopped or filled with a foreign substance, try applying a liner just outside your natural lip line. It works brilliantly and gives an instantly natural lip plump without having to resort to permanent duck face.
Stick to creams
The older you are, the creamier your lips should look. Unfortunately, our lips thin as we … mature. So if you're past your second 18th birthday (or simply weren't near the front of the line when lips were handed out) avoid matte and gloss and stick with a creamier lipstick.
Beware the dark side
One last tip: if you have thin lips, beware the dark side. Dark lipstick shades are evil – avoid at all costs.

Keep on keepin' on
After a successful week 1 of recruitment together the team will now divide and conquer as we'll be promoting at a total of 5 schools this week. We'll be making stops at UConn, Montclair State University, Southern Connecticut State University, Ramapo College (NJ), and Boston College.
The team visits GWU
Week 1 we had the entire team together as we traveled down to Washington D.C. to help our George Washington University leader, Phoebe Elizaga, promote for her information meeting. To our excitement, we filled every single seat in the room and due to the flurry of sign-ups so far we only have 7 spots left as of this post!
We spent a total of three days down in D.C. taking in the sights and spreading out all over GWU's city campus hanging up posters, handing out flyers and collecting emails from interested students. Luckily the weather was beautiful for a full day of in-person and online promotion, culminating with our information meeting in the Marvin Center.
Week 2 Highlights
- The week kicked off with Mike heading up to Storrs, Connecticut to visit our UConn leader, Jeremy Keckler. The afternoon was spent hanging up an absurd amount of posters and flyers in creative fashion to get people's attention. UCONN's campus is massive so there was a lot of territory to cover, such as the library, lecture halls, student centers and athletic facilities. Mike also stopped by Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, CT to promote with Rolando Galindo, our leader there. As posters were being hung up (including an impressive pyramid of trip flyers in the student center) students kept asking what the trip was all about and how they could get involved. Definitely a positive response so far with those CT-based schools.
- Nick headed up both Montclair State and Ramapo College of New Jersey this week as well. Montclair State University's student center (right outside the cafeteria) was a key area to cross paths with students and with the help of our leader, Heather Francis, we were able to get a lot of interested people on our email sign-up list. The next day he was off to Ramapo College with the same plan of attack and from the photos below you can see that there were plenty of posters hung up to get the word out.
- One of the big highlights of the week was Simon & Ash heading up to Boston to conduct an information meeting at Boston College with our leader, Brandon Buttomesso. To our surprise, we had 12 signups within the first 24 hours of our information meeting. This is huge for not only us, but for Brandon who realistically could have his entire team signed up in the coming weeks. Way to go guys!
What's Next
The What's Next section will feature upcoming destinations on our month-long campus road trip over the entire month of September. This will feature a good deal of social media content and posts about our upcoming information meetings with each of our leaders.
Some of the next information meetings we have lined up at the top of next week include Southern Connecticut State University and UMass-Amherst.
Our entire team will be spread out all over the northeast visiting our leaders and helping them conduct their information meetings at their respective schools. Ben Burtis, our UMass-Amherst leader, is a Senior who will be leading a team to summit Mount Kilimanjaro early next summer. Rolando Galindo, our SCSU leader, is a Junior who will be leading his team on a trek to the lost city of the Incas in Machu Picchu early next summer. To learn more about their team's trip, head over to the SCSU Team information page or UMass' Team page. If you're an interested student yourself, you can RSVP via Facebook to either information meeting for SCSU or UMass as well.
We'll also be hosting trip information meetings at the University of Connecticut, Boston University, Montclair State University and Ramapo College of New Jersey.
In the meantime, make sure to follow us on social media to get the latest on where we are daily and how we're doing on our #PathTo1Million . See you at the finish line!
Mike and the Choose a Challenge team

The search for a new dean of the Farmer School of Business is underway after the former dean, Matthew Myers, left Miami University in July.
President Greg Crawford and Provost Phyllis Callahan appointed professor Marc Rubin to be interim dean.
Rubin said he won't be taking the full-time position.
"I have not put my name in for the position [of dean], they asked me to and I said I wouldn't," Rubin said. "Whoever wants to do this job should look at a longer time horizon than I am willing to commit."
Rubin is an alumnus of the university and joined the faculty in 1990 as an assistant professor in accounting. He was promoted to associate professor in 1993 and full professor in 1997. Before assuming the dean position, he was the chair of the accounting department. As interim dean, Rubin's annual salary is $305,987, said university lawyer Robin Parker.
The search committee for the new dean has met with early preliminary candidates, but the search is still in a premature stage, Rubin said.
Their goal is to have on-campus interviews with finalists later this semester and an appointment by January said Kirk Bogard, assistant dean for external relations of the Farmer School. The appointment date is subject to change depending on how the search goes and if the candidate is under contract until a later date.
The committee is chaired by Chris Makaroff, dean of the College of Arts and Science. The committee is made up of 10 voting members. Rubin is not involved in the search.
Faculty representatives on the committee are: Anne Farrell, from the Accounting department; Melissa Thomasson, from the Economics department; Rebecca Luzadis, of the Finance department; T.M. Rajkumar, from the department of Information Systems and Analytics; Tim Krehbiel, from the department of management; and Brett Smith, of the Marketing department.
David Meyer serves on the committee as the Business Advisory Council representative. Marti Kyger is representing staff on the committee, senior Marilyn Zubak is representing undergraduate students and graduate student Michael Savnik is also serving on the committee. Non-voting members are Stacy Kawamura and Ruth Groom.
Korn Ferry, an executive search and recruiting firm, will help the committee with the process of picking candidates for the position. Ken Kring and Vickie Antolini from Korn Ferry have met with key individuals to develop the position description and ad that is being used to recruit candidates.
Miami has not yet determined the new dean's salary. That is dependent on the candidate's qualifications and experience, Parker said.

Congratulations to Ireland!
In one of the toughest and most interesting Six Nations ever, Ireland have triumphed with a week to go. Inspiring wins against Scotland and Wales showed the sheer class of this Irish team. Hard and tough wins like versus France showed the determination they have. Ireland have also proved they can score tries for fun in almost every game, especially versus the Italians. This tournament Ireland have proved any critics wrong. Players supposedly past their best have proven their worth, Rob Kearney became Man Of The Match versus Scotland for instance. Young players have proven their talent, the likes of the Six Nations top try scorer this year, Jacob Stockdale.
Depth and Development
Joe Schmidt has proved that his team can and will win. Even without Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Simon Zebo this team has flourished.
Looking forward to 2019 the future looks bright for the Irish. The likes of Jacob Stockdale, Andrew Porter and James Ryan have proven that Ireland have the depth to go far in major tournaments.
Irelands young guns have come out firing all tournament. Jacob Stockdale has scored an immense 6 tries so far. That's a colossal, unbelievable 1.5 tries per game. He has been the breakthrough player of this tournament and has been one of the standout players of this tournament. Only 21 he has huge potential going forward. By the World Cup, he'll have a decent amount of caps and experience so he'll be an even larger threat. Do not be surprised to find Stockdale in a team of the year soon, the young Ulster winger could be the next big star for the emerald isle.
The second row is becoming a real area of strength for the Irish. Tadgh Beirne, Iain Henderson and Devin Toner are all major players in the second row. Add to that list James Ryan. The young Leinster lad is 6ft 8in tall so can be colossal in the lineout and maul. With 108kg to throw around, Ryan can be destructive in the ruck and scrum as well as open play. Hopefully, in Japan, the young lock will be just as amazing and destructive and the teams in Ireland's pool, and most likely the later stages, need to look out for Ryan.
Before the Six Nations if someone told you Tadgh Furlong would be injured the Irish would be devastated. Step up Andrew Porter, the Leinster man proved his worth this year. An able replacement to Furlong 22-year-old Porter stepped up when needed. Playing 73 minutes versus Italy showing his stamina and his class on the field. A bright future is ahead for Porter and hopefully, he can do the job for Ireland for many years to come.
Towards the World Cup
Looking towards Japan and the World Cup Ireland will be hoping to go further than the quarters for the first time ever. A deep and rich history for rugby it is surprising that Ireland have never reached a semi-final. Joe Schmidt will be hoping he can coach this team to glory, and the Irish public will be hoping this team can get the wins they crave.
The depth shown by Ireland can only be good and will be extremely helpful come the World Cup when injuries can ruin a teams chances. So young players gaining experience will help Ireland hopefully go far.
Not only the depth but also the increased belief and courage they'll have as they are now on an 11 game unbeaten run going back to their defeat versus Wales last year. This increased belief in their ability will help when they need to dig deep in hard games but also when they need the courage to try new things and new moves. They also have the personnel to change their game based on the opposition and how they want to play. For instance, in the centres, Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Chris Farell and Garry Ringrose have all given Schmidt the trouble of which one of them to pick. They all offer different things which is what Schmidt will want and need when he comes us against the likes of the All Blacks. Do they offer something that will help with changing centre play.
This ability to switch players in and out is useful for many reasons. It allows you to rotate and keep players fresh and firing when faced with a tough run of games. So injuries affect your team less. So you can change your tactics and game plans so the opposition doesn't know whats coming.
All of these incredibly talented players are coming through and gaining experience in the Pro14 but does the Pro14 need to change? Leinster are now developing many talented back rowers.
Joe Schmidt's tactics are detailed and in-depth, this depth, as well as the development of many players, will help them understand the tactics and improve them. The detail of his tactics is outlined here in a fine article by Conor Wilson. James Ryan and Andrew Porter can give an edge at the set piece. Stockdale, as well as the many great centres, will help Ireland execute the moves shown here.
A tactical genius like Schmidt with a brilliant team like Ireland could beat anyone. Ireland have proven they can beat the best when the took the All Blacks scalp in Chicago. So now the next challenge for this Irish team is the World Cup. Japan and later France will be big tournaments for a team with big dreams like Ireland. Only time will tell if Ireland can succeed at the World Cup.
Thanks for reading! Do you think Ireland will complete the Grand Slam? How far do you expect Ireland to go at the World Cup? Which young talent are you most excited for?
