Release Blitz, Book Review, Giveaway | Listen to Me by Kristen Proby (@Handbagjunkie)
Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iTunes ** Kobo
In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby's brand new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart.
Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim 1/5 of the credit. She's determined to make it a success and can't think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she's in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school—he's all bad boy...exactly her type and exactly what she doesn't need.
Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what's always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake's past finally catches up with him.
Will Addie be torn apart once again or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

Jake is easily likable. He used to be famous, but he walked away from the lime light after a tragedy. He still loves music and continues to work with it, but he no longer since. Then one night, he just grabbed the microphone in Seduction, and was lured into his old love. It didn't hurt that he gets to work with a woman who makes him feel alive again.
Addison has been burned before – by bad boys who are musicians. There was no way she was going to risk her heart once again. Not especially with someone who was as famous as Jake, and who's face adorned the posters on her walls growing up.
If Jake was really determined to have Addison, Addison was fighting tooth and nail to resist him. If you read Jake, and how he tries to woo and tease her, you'd know this wasn't an easy feat. Just as she was lowering his walls, Jake's past caught up with him.
Will both of them be able to let go of their past and take a risk for their future?
This series is off to a promising and exciting start with its first book: Listen to Me. This is Kristen Proby and I haven't been disappointed in any of her books. This won't be the first. I was glad it met my expectations. It was a great, amazing read: right amount of steam, romance and drama.
"'In summary,'" Cami, one of my very best friends, and a business partner, reads from the Portland Tribune, "'Seduction is a restaurant unlike any other I've experienced. The food is delicious, the wine bar impressive, and the ambiance so sexy, it will take your breath away. I highly recommend this restaurant for your next date night.'"
"I want to send that reviewer flowers," Mia says with a wide smile. "Who would have thought that just six months after opening this place, we'd already have a review like this?"
"Well, it's a no-brainer that they'd love the food," I reply, and reach for the paper so I can read it again for the fifteenth time. "You're a genius in the kitchen, Mia. We've known that since we were in high school."
"I still get nervous, especially now that I never know who the customers are going to be. We didn't even get a heads-up that this guy was going to be here." Mia bites the cuticle on her thumb and frowns. "Maybe I should add to the menu."
"The menu is perfect," Cami replies with a shake of her blond head.
"He loved us."
We smile at each other, and finally I do a little happy dance in my seat. We haven't opened for the day yet. Kat and Riley, the final two business partners in our fivesome, haven't arrived. But Mia, Cami, and I have read this article over and over again, smiling and dancing.
Rejoicing.
Because damn it, we've worked our asses off since we opened the doors six months ago. All of our eggs are in this basket. We can't fail.
And we won't.
We hear the front door open and close, and I expect to see either Riley or Kat, but instead Jeremy saunters into the dining room, looking all rumpled and messy from sleep. His eyelids are still heavy. His chin is scruffy. His blond hair is standing on end, still in chaos from my fingers last night.
Jesus, this man makes my hormones work overtime.
He grins and kisses my head, then picks up my coffee and sits next to me.
"Why are you here?" Cami asks with a frown. "I'm in too good of a mood to have to pretend to like you."
I glare at my best friend, but she just shrugs.
"My girlfriend is here," Jeremy replies and sips my coffee. "I missed her."
"Please," Mia whispers with a roll of the eyes. My friends used to like Jeremy, in the beginning, but now they make it no secret that they don't care for him. But they are just overprotective. They don't want to see me get hurt. Sure, he's a musician. Not a particularly gifted one at that, but he does well, booking gigs for his band, Hells Roses, regularly.
And, oh my God, what the man can do in the bedroom should be a felony. He makes me laugh, and despite his arrogant persona around everyone else, he has moments of real vulnerability and sweetness when we're alone.
Is he the one? Probably not, but I'm pretty much convinced that the onewas invented by romance novelists and Disney. "Be nice," I snap and continue to read the paper. "We got a kick-ass review in the Tribune," I inform Jeremy with a grin.
"Of course you did," he replies and kisses my cheek. "Are the music reviews in there too?" He snatches the paper and shifts through the pages, then reads through the reviews of the music and club scene in Portland. "Not one fucking mention?"
Cami catches my gaze, then crosses her eyes in annoyance. I simply shrug. He's not in the restaurant business. He wouldn't understand what a big deal this is for us.
"I've been thinking," I begin, and lean my elbows on the table. "Now that business is picking up, I think we should add live music on the weekends."
"Sorry, cupcake," Jeremy says with a sigh. "We're booked."
Thank God. Jeremy's band isn't the one I'd want for my place. But rather than jab at his ego, I simply smile and kiss his shoulder.
"I know, babe. But I'd still like to bring in someone.
Maybe just a one-person act, just a microphone and a stool, you know?"
"We can afford it," Cami replies with a thoughtful frown. Cami is our chief financial officer. She handles all things money, and she's a wizard at adding up figures in her head. "Who are you thinking?"
"I don't know." I reach for my coffee mug and frown when I see that Jeremy has sucked down every last drop. "Babe, will you please run over to Starbucks and get us more coffee?"
"I forgot my wallet," he replies with a scowl. I reach into my bag and pass him a twenty. "You got it."
"Oh, and one place you might look for a musician," he adds as he steps away from the table, "is the open-mic night at Crush this Saturday. There are usually some good acts there. I'd bet you'd find what you're looking for."
I grin at my sexy boyfriend and blow him a kiss. "Thank you."
He winks and saunters out of the restaurant. When the door closes behind him, Mia shakes her head at me. "Seriously?"
"Open mic night is a brilliant idea," I inform her. "That's not what she's talking about," Cami says. "Jeremy is a douche bag."
"He is not." I roll my eyes and sit back in my chair. Okay, maybe he has douchey moments. "He's sweet. And sexy."
"And mooching off of you. His wallet was in his back pocket," Mia argues. "And I'll bet all of this month's chocolate budget that he's staying with you too."
"His roommate moved out, and he couldn't afford his place alone."
"Addie." Cami reaches for my hand. "You are not a doormat."
"He doesn't treat me like a doormat."
"Yes. He does." Mia sighs and takes my other hand. "You deserve so much better."
"I love you both," I begin, my stomach heaving. "I know you just want to protect me. Jeremy is a good guy. I like him."
"Okay." Cami sips her coffee, then shrugs one slim shoulder. "But when he breaks your heart, we'll be here."
"Let's talk about this open-mic night. Who's going with me?"
Mia and Cami exchange glances.
"I'll be working," Mia says. "I have some new Saturday night specials I want to try."
"I don't want to," Cami says honestly. "I trust you to find exactly what we need."
"I'll take Kat." I chew my lip, ideas already swirling in my head. "She's a good judge of these things."
The door opens again.
"Oh good. Mr. Wonderful is back," Cami mutters.

Thoughts on Business and Technology.
India FDI in Retail - Should we emulate China ?
Someone emailed a link suggesting that India should emulate China in their FDI Retail Policy.
WALMART would be the biggest contributor (and gainer) of FDI in India.
China has welcomed WALMART in their Retail Sector.
However they have laid down certain restrictions for FDI in Retail.
Should India follow all of China's policies ?
My viewpoint is that India and China are two entirely different countries with different development agendas and differing economic, social and cultural systems.
We need not emulate China in all their strategies, especially Retail - FDI.
When it comes to WALMART, Indian policy makers should see the long term spin-off benefits for the economy, India's inefficient supply chains and value-subtracting middle men.
India needs to make sure that it's common man - Aam Aadmi (Hindi Translation) gets the benefit of Walmart's Every Day Low Pricing Strategy which has been reported to have been responsible for US inflation figures to be kept under control for the last many years.
As suggested by Mckinsey, WALMART is also reported to have had substantial impact on the US Economy's Productivity figures.
Do we have to protect our perhaps Million PLus Retail Traders or should we look after the best interests of India's Billion Plus Population ?

2021 marked ten years of LIVE FREE committed campaigning work to build a movement of community safety.
To celebrate, in partnership with LIVE FREE, PLUS ONE society produced an event at the CIEL Creative Space in Berkeley. Special performances from Goapele, MAJOR, and Tef Poe illuminated the stage, as speakers Mr. Fab, Warryn, and Erica Campbell talked about the mission of LIVE FREE to end gun violence and mass incarceration.
The night started with a Funders' Mixer with a curated conversation around the ten-year movement. The discussion reflected the four themes of LIVE FREE: Reducing Gun Violence, Ending Mass Incarceration, Transforming Policing, and Civic Engagement. Our donors and supporters listened as we shared the collective success of the network and future work and goals.
Following the Funders' Mixer, Steve Kerr and W. Kamau Bell hosted the 10th Anniversary celebration. CEO and President Pastor Mike McBride and LIVE FREE National Staff and local partners filled the room, honoring the past, present, and future of LIVE FREE.
The largest faith-based grassroots organizing network, LIVE FREE, with the lead of Pastor McBride, is a national movement dedicated to ending gun violence, mass incarceration, and systematic racism.
"A decade ago, we began a small campaign to end gun violence and mass incarceration, and now we've grown, thanks in large part to the Faith in Action team, into a national movement of systems- impacted people, faith leaders, peacemakers, youth, and a range of community-based organizations," said Pastor McBride."Becoming an independent organization will allow us to pivot to answer the needs of organizers and communities across the country as we enter this new chapter."

The Energizer – Volume 81
Date: 7 January 2021
Energy Alert
By: Buck B. Endemann, Daniel S. Cohen, Molly K. Barker, Olivia B. Mora, Natalie J. Reid, Matthew P. Clark
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States Adopt the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program
On 21 December 2020, the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) regarding the implementation of the Transportation and Climate Initiative Program (TCIP). The TCIP is a multi-jurisdictional collaboration that seeks to improve transportation networks, develop clean energy jobs, and reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector. The initiative intends to reach these goals through a "cap-and-invest" regime. Under the program, large gasoline and diesel fuel suppliers are required to purchase emissions "allowances." The sale of emissions allowances is expected to generate US$300M annually. The revenues will be invested in less carbon-intensive fuels and more resilient transportation methods. For instance, the revenues may also be used to purchase electric school and transit buses, fund electrification of ports and freight facilities, develop interstate electric vehicle charging corridors, or pursue other programs designed to reduce carbon emissions from traditional forms of transportation. The MOU includes a commitment to dedicate a minimum of 35 percent of each jurisdiction's proceeds to social equity goals, such as ensuring that communities underserved by the transportation system and/or most susceptible to the adverse effects of carbon emissions will benefit from clean transportation projects. Eight other states issued a statement committing to continued cooperation with the TCIP while they pursue state-specific emission reduction strategies.
Massachusetts Legislature Passes New Carbon Emissions Goal
On 3 January 2021, the Massachusetts Senate and House passed legislation to update the Commonwealth's clean energy policy. If enacted, the "Act Creating a Next-Generation Roadmap for Massachusetts Climate Policy" would establish a goal of net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. To reach that goal, the bill sets benchmarks for carbon dioxide emissions to decrease by 50 percent of 1990 levels by 2030 and by 75 percent by 2040. Moreover, the legislation would increase the Massachusetts' Renewable Portfolio Standard by five percent in 2030, and require in-state utilities to purchase an additional 2,400 MW of offshore wide power by that time.
If enacted, Massachusetts would join the coterie of 11 other states that have set net zero carbon emissions standards by 2050.
2021 Sees Continued Push for Battery Recycling in the North America
The combination of increased renewable energy deployment, large-scale batteries, and the significant projected growth in global sales of electric vehicles (which are expected to increase from 1.7 million in 2020 to 26 million in 2030) has led to more serious global efforts to recycle materials from spent batteries. Historically, such recycling projects have been located in Asia, but the United States will soon be home to at least two new recycling facilities. The first will be in New York as Canadian firm Li-Cycle will begin constructing a US$175M plant in Rochester, New York, later this year. The plant will have an eventual capacity of 25 metric kilotons of input material, making it the largest lithium-ion battery-recycling plant in North America. With that capacity, it is projected to recover 95 percent or more of the cobalt, nickel, lithium, and other valuable elements recycled via a zero-wastewater, zero-emissions process.
he second plant will be in Nevada. In June 2020, American Battery Technology Company secured land for its first lithium-ion battery recycling plant in Nevada. The company has since selected a contractor to guide it through the construction and permitting process this year. At full capacity, the facility will recycle 20,000 metric tons of feedstock a year.
Santa Monica will Establish the Nation's First Zero Emissions Delivery Zone
In February 2021, Santa Monica, California will unveil the nation's first zero emissions delivery zone pilot program. The objective of the pilot program is to neutralize the carbon footprint of food and parcel deliveries within a designated one square mile zone. To do so, Santa Monica will create up to 20 loading zones out of parking spaces for exclusive use by zero-emission delivery vehicles. Moreover, Santa Monica has partnered with a variety of merchants who have collectively agreed to perform their deliveries via electric vans leased through a truck-sharing service. Other companies, like a manufacturer of an all-electric three-wheeler delivery vehicle that can carry 20 cubic feet of cargo space, are applying to join the pilot as well.
The need for carbon reduction in deliveries has been underscored during the pandemic in Santa Monica—as well as across the nation—where good purchases and food orders are being made online and delivered to each customer's door more than ever.

Review of Lailah by Nikki Kelly
September 7, 2014 By Kristen 19 Comments
Lailah (The Styclar Saga #1)
By: Nikki Kelly
Release Date: October 7th 2014
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends
Format: Print ARC
A copy of this book was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The girl knows she's different. She doesn't age. She has no family. She has visions of a past life, but no clear clues as to what she is, or where she comes from. But there is a face in her dreams – a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel.
On her way home from work, the girl encounters an injured stranger whose name is Jonah. Soon, she will understand that Jonah belongs to a generation of Vampires that serve even darker forces. Jonah and the few like him, are fighting with help from an unlikely ally – a rogue Angel, named Gabriel.
In the crossfire between good and evil, love and hate, and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. But when the lines between black and white begin to blur, where in the spectrum will she find her place? And with whom?
Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.
This is such a difficult review to write. I went into this fully knowing it was going to be a paranormal romance and I was excited for vampires and angels and positive I'd love this book. Well, the sad truth is…I didn't love it. There was something about the writing that kept me coming back to read but the overall story and characters fell a bit flat for me.
There were aspects of the story that I found to be interesting and like I said above something ab0ut the story kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed that Kelly combined angels with vampires and also created her own mythology to explain them. I was able to visualize the locations and characters and I felt that the action scenes were done rather well.
One thing that irked me was I couldn't help but see some similarities with another well known vampire book…you might know it…Twilight. Don't get me wrong, I don't cry Twilight with every vampire book and I know that mythologies cross, etc. The aspects that seemed familiar was that the group of vampires were reformed and living together as a family. They also happened to be rich (ok, I'll let that slide since in almost every book vamps are well to do). There was also a bit of shimmering/glimmering in the moonlight and there was a scene where Lailah hitches a ride on a vamp's back and runs through the woods. How could I not see Twilight there?
The love triangle! Ugh, this one was bad. I couldn't get behind either relationship. I did prefer one of the guys over the other but I still didn't like him with Lailah. She mistreats people and uses one against the other when she gets upset about something.
In general the character descriptions were clichéd. Phrases such as, "cascading waves of hair" "pearly white teeth" were used to describe them which did make it easy to visualize everyone but I was sad to only have a 'beautiful' cast of characters that were all perfect.
Lailah, our main character, I wasn't keen on her at all. I never connected and found her to be annoying more often than not. She threw a lot of fits and acted out of anger by running away or endangering other people. I felt constantly annoyed with her and wanted to throttle her at times. The MC also has low self esteem but for no reason. She's beautiful and everyone has pet names for her like: love and beautiful. Just sort of grating and felt very done before.
Though I was disappointed by Lailah I could see the appeal and felt the urge to read it because it was entertaining. I had moments of rolling my eyes and felt distracted by the similarities I saw with Twilight. I think that if I could have connected with Lailah and shipped one of her relationships I'd have been a much bigger fan of the books. Sadly, that was not the case. Will I read the next book? I'm really not sure.

Jess @myreadingdress says
Great review, Kristen! I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews surrounding this one. I've got friends who love the love triangle element, and others who absolutely cannot stand Lailah herself. I'm apprehensive about this, but I'll admit, the whole ambivalent idea proposed does have me intrigued. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy this one.
I really thought I'd love it since a few of my bloggy friends adored it. I was primed and excited about a PNR but sadly it didn't hit the mark for me 🙁 You might really like it…I think it depends on if you can tolerate Lailah herself.
Oh nooooo. I've heard a few good things about this book, but I was REALLY worried about the love triangle as well, as I've already seen "Team X" stuff around, which just makes me cringe. Sounds like my fears are justified. =/
um yeah…didn't work for me? Maybe it would have if I'd not read so many PNR before or was a bit younger?
Kirsty-Marie says
Uh-oh, I was really looking forward to it too. 🙁 I could probably tolerate the Twilight similarities (though a lot of eye rolling would ensue), and I could probably tolerate the horrible love triangle, used to them by now, but ugh, a horrible main character. I could probably also deal with that, if any of the previous aspects were a good distraction, which sounds like it wasn't. So nope, but at least you finished it!
There was a quality that kept me reading. I do admit that fairly close to the ending I was super close to DNFing but I decided to push through. I really wish this had worked better for me. And yep, one or two of those things would be ok if there was something stellar going on to distract. But, all of them layered like that? Nope.
Bummer! Thanks for your honesty and taking one for the team! Since I don't think I would enjoy this one either, I think I"ll make space for a different review book.
Some of my bloggy friends have adored it but it was not for me. 🙁
Anatea says
I was really excited about this one, but you're the second person today who didn't really like the book. I'm even dreading reading it now. Love triangle always puts me off a little bit, and knowing there is one, I'm not so sure if I'd be reading it now. Great review!
It wasn't pretty love triangle at all Anatea. It made the mc really unlikeable to me 🙁
Jen @ YA Romantics says
Aw, sorry you didn't love this. I do think that between Twilight and Buffy and True Blood etc. it's hard to make a vampire story feel fresh right now. It sounds like there were just too many things about the story that didn't work for you. Hope your next read is a better fit 🙂
I tend to enjoy vampire stories and love The Immortal Rules, etc those felt different. This had some interesting bits to it but that MC. I couldn't get behind her at all. Did you read it?
Pili says
Awwww, I'm so sorry to hear this one didn't work for you at all!
I was surprised that the love triangle didn't bother me at all, to be honest and I found myself unsure of which guy I'd root for but not annoyed at Lailah for not choosing.
Thank you for your very honest review, Kristen!
Lots of my bloggy friends loved this one so I thought I would too regardless of the love triangle. I was so sad it didn't work out for me.
Carina Olsen says
HAH! There is no way in hell I will read this book, lol 🙂 Amazing review Kristen. <3 I wish I could say sorry that you didn't like it, but I'm glad you didn't like it :p I think it sounds awful 🙁 and love triangle sounds THE WORST. I have heard bad things, lol. So yeah. Not a book for me either. Sigh. But aw. It sucks that so many Macmillan books these days are awful 🙁 Thank you for sharing sweetie. <3
Yeah, Carina I can not fathom this being a book you'd enjoy. I'm pretty certain you'd really hate the MC. I am very sad by the disappointments lately. Hopefully the next wave is amazing and blows us away.
Danielle @ Love at First Page says
Ha, yeah, this book DIDN"T have me at "love triangle" lol. This one sounds particularly bad, as I've heard there's lots of waffling and the heroine basically jumps back and forth based on illogical conclusions.
Hope your next read is better, lady.
Yeah, this book is not for someone that dislikes love triangles especially if the MC flip flops often. I'm not super against them myself (I'd prefer there's not one but I can like a book regardless) but this book…I couldn't get past it at all. I was not a fan of the character interactions and the MC was horrible to me.
starryeyedjen says
Oh, no! I was really looking forward to this one! 🙁 I have it on my Spooky TBR and all! I'm not opposed to love triangles, so maybe that won't bother me so much? The cliched descriptors, though…that might be a bit off-putting. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to see for myself.
Hi, I'm Kristen
I run My Friends Are Fiction and have a passion for Lego and reading. I tend to gravitate to young adult though I love a good story regardless of how it's classified.

Gay, Lesbian and Transgender Sex: Mandatory Australian Schools Programme, Pre Teens Learn ins and outs of Bullying, Parents worry Gays are "Grooming Children"
Teachers are counselled that it is "heterosexist" to refer to students as "girls and boys" and children are instructed to "role-play gay teenagers" in "Safe Schools" programme designed by Marxist activist Roz Ward raising a 'red flag' for parents.
The architect behind a contentious sexual diversity program set to become mandatory across all Victorian schools is an outspoken hard-left warrior who has publicly denounced Immigration Minister Peter Dutton as a "sexist prick".
Safe Schools Coalition Victoria co-founder Roz Ward has also conceded the Safe Schools Coalition program is part of a broader Marxist strategy to change society.
Ms Ward is a La Trobe University academic who moonlights as a writer for Red Flag, the publication of the Socialist Alternative, a Trotskyite self-described Marxist organisation that has become a dominant force among university radicals and the broad-left activist movement.
Ms Ward's recent contributions include an article published in January, titled "Sexist text messages are the least of Peter Dutton's crimes", in which she accuses the minister of being responsible for instances of sexual abuse being experienced by refugees at the Nauru processing centre.
"Dutton is responsible for these horrors," she writes. "Sure, call out casual sexism, but we should rage longer and harder against his ongoing crimes against refugees."
In another article, Ms Ward accused the former Victorian Liberal government of turning train stations into prisons after the introduction of a safety policy in 2012 of manning platforms with armed guards. She denounced the guards, known as "protective services officers", as "uniformed thugs".
The program has recently been linked with an improved public perception of safety.
Nationals MP George Christensen has likened the government funded Safe Schools program to child grooming in a parliament speech yesterday.
A prominent campaigner on gay, lesbian and transgender issues, including marriage equality, Ms Ward has repeatedly claimed that the Safe Schools Coalition was derived out of a bid to stamp out homophobia within schools.
Victorian Education Minister James Merlino, who posed for photographs with Ms Ward at the recent Pride March, declined a request for an interview yesterday.
However in a statement, his spokesman said that the "scare campaign" being run by opponents of Safe Schools Coalition has been "nothing short of disgraceful".
"The comments from federal MPs like Cory Bernardi and George Christensen are perfect examples of the kind of attitudes that we need to change," he said.
The Victorian government was the first to provide public funds to the cause. Former Labor education minister Bronwyn Pike, who has an openly gay son, announced $80,000 in seed funding in October 2010. A year later, the newly elected Coalition government announced further funding of $416,000 and the federal Labor government then lent its support in 2013 when Senator Penny Wong, who is gay, unveiled $8 million over four years to "help stop homophobia and create more inclusive school communities".
The first initiative of its kind in Australia, Safe Schools Coalition Victoria was founded as part of Gay and Lesbian Health Victoria within the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health & Society at La Trobe University. We have been supported by the Victorian Government since we launched the program in 2010 and appreciate the ongoing support of the Victorian Department of Education.
The Safe Schools Coalition program has since been rolled out to more than 500 schools and has the backing of the Australian Secondary Principals Association and the Australian Education Union.
Despite the program's stated aims, its politically correct approach to sex education — under which teachers are counselled that it is "heterosexist" to refer to students as "girls and boys" and children are instructed to role-play gay teenagers — has outraged religious groups and conservative politicians.
Many have questioned whether it is appropriate for schools to be teaching children as young as 11 the meaning of terms such as "queer", "pansexual", "sister girl" and "trans guy".
The Coalition's website also lists more than 40 primary schools or P-12 colleges that have registered.
One of those, St Kilda Primary School in Melbourne, took part in the Midsumma Festival's annual Pride March in January alongside the Safe Schools Coalition.
Ms Ward, who manages the program in Victoria, wrote about the landmark occasion on the coalition's website: "For the first time ever we marched with a primary school as well as more than a dozen secondary schools, which just really shows the progress that has been made."
St Kilda Primary School principal Sue Higgins confirmed that the school had taken part, but did not respond to further questions via email, including whether students had taken part.
West Australian Education Minister Peter Collier has raised concerns, describing aspects of it as "almost offensive".
A former high school teacher, he said it could hurt the children it aimed to protect, although it had the hallmarks of an effective bullying strategy.
"I cannot see or fathom any situation where drawing attention to a particular set of students is going to necessarily assist that child," Mr Collier said.
"I feel as soon as you start to identify or isolate very discrete elements of student cohorts, inevitably you're going to draw attention to those students and if anything it could work in reverse."
He said only 16 of the state's 800 public schools had registered for the program.
Choose words carefully on Safe Schools: PM Malcolm Turnbull
February 26, 2016: Nationals MP George Christensen has likened the government funded Safe Schools program to child grooming in a parliament speech yesterday.
Read more at http://www.9news.com.au/national/2016/02/26/09/52/pm-should-reprimand-homophobic-mp#plbO1vp2qOly07sX.99
Malcolm Turnbull has urged government backbenchers campaigning against a gay and lesbian-focused schools program to think about how their words could hurt children.
But the prime minister has stopped short of heeding calls to rebuke Nationals MP George Christensen for likening the Safe Schools program to child sexual grooming.
And the program operators have vehemently denied Mr Christensen's claims they link kids to pornographic web content or sex shops.
In his first comments on the program since ordering a review into Safe Schools, Mr Turnbull urged people discussing the program to use measured language.
"And to consider very carefully the impact of the words they use on young people and on their families," he told reporters in Canberra on Friday.
"Bullying is absolutely unacceptable."
The prime minister is facing pressure to reprimand Mr Christensen for saying the anti-bullying program was akin to paedophile grooming because it recommended, through partners, pornographic content, sex shops, sex clubs and adult communities to school kids.
The Queensland MP said the program had links to websites which advised kids about chest-binding, penis-tucking and gay sex, and gave instructions to children about unblocking websites without their parents' knowledge.
The Australian Christian Lobby seized on his claims to call for an immediate suspension of the program while the review was under way.
They claim one of Safe Schools' partners, Minus 18, has since removed a link to a sex shop.
"The Safe Schools Coalition purports to be an anti-bullying program but instead is providing links to adult-only sites," ACL managing director Lyle Shelton said.
The Safe Schools Coalition dismissed those claims saying it did not link to, or recommend pornographic content, shops or clubs, nor teach kids to hide their browsing history.
The program continued to gain popularity, with 515 member schools and 10 more joining in the past week.
"We are also pleased to note that no schools have left the program since the government review was announced," a spokeswoman told AAP.
The independent review into the $8 million program, details of which were released on Friday, will consider whether the material is age-appropriate, educationally sound, and aligned to the Australian curriculum.
It will be headed by University of Western Australia professor Bill Louden with the review's report due by March 11.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten issued a passionate defence of the program, saying it was about preventing bullying and intimidation.
"(It) lets children who are grappling with questions of identity know that they are not alone, they can seek help," he told an Australian Education Union conference in Melbourne.

I'm so disgusted my grandson has no future if this is what is happening now they are children let them be children worry about terrorism and what the govt is letting into our country this is what the Muslims want they will be laughing at us no need for them to attack we are killing ourselfs
Maybe if a revolution ever comes, we all might understand how Pol Pot in Cambodia made it a priority to kill all the teachers. Because teachers in public schools might be just doing their jobs according to the educational syllabus provided but they are as complicit in the implementation of socialist cultural Marxism crap that has invaded our public schools as anyone else. Short of dragging them and the politicians responsible for indoctrinating children out of the schools and parliaments and doing what some might deem warranted, I can only urge ALL PARENTS TO TRY AND FIND THE MEANS TO PLACE YOUR CHILDREN INTO RELIGIOUSLY BASED PRIVATE SCHOOLS that will not enforce the curriculum to the extent that these socialist thinking cultural Marxists want ….. 😦

Saint Andrew, brother of Peter
November 30th is the Feast of St. Andrew. On the lakeshore in Galilee Jesus called him and his brother Simon Peter to follow him. We only know a few details about Andrew. What are they?
He's a fisherman, of course. Andrew is a Greek name. Why would a Jew have a Greek name? The area around the Sea of Galilee was then multi-cultural, and Andrew's family were originally from Bethsaida, a trading town in the upper part of the Sea of Galilee with a substantial Greek population. Would that explain why they may have spoken some Greek? Afterwards they located in Capernaum, another trading town close by.
Could that explain why later in John's gospel, Andrew and Philip bring some Greek pilgrims to Jesus before his death in Jerusalem. Jesus rejoices, seeing them as signs that his passion and glorification will draw all nations to him. One sees why the Greek church has Andrew as its chief patron: he introduced them to Jesus.
Bethsaida has been recently excavated.
Bethsaida: Winegrowers house
Bethsaida: Ruins
Andrew seems to have an interest in religious questions. He's described as a disciple of John the Baptist, who points Jesus out to him. Jesus then invites Andrew and another disciple to stay for a day with him. "Come and see." Afterwards, Andrew "found his brother Simon and said to him 'We have found the Messiah.'" (John 1,35-41)
I notice too that Andrew bring the little boy with the bread and fish to the attention of Jesus.
The Greek Church sees Andrew as the first of the apostles because he's the first to follow Jesus; then he calls his brother. Western and eastern Christian churches together celebrate his feast on November 30th.
The letter to the Romans, the first reading for his feast in the Roman Catholic liturgy, stresses there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, and praises messengers who bring God's word to others. Tradition says Andrews brought the gospel to the Greeks, and also claims that Andrew was crucified on the beach at Patras in Greece. Besides Greece, Andrew's also the patron of Russia and Scotland.
We ask you, O Lord,
that, just as the blessed Apostle Andrew
was for your Church a preacher and pastor,
so he may be for us a constant intercessor before you.
Troparion (Tone 4) (Greek Orthodox)
Andrew, first-called of the Apostles
and brother of the foremost disciple,
entreat the Master of all
to grant peace to the world
and to our souls great mercy.
Kontakion (Tone 2)
Let us praise Andrew, the herald of God,
the namesake of courage,
the first-called of the Savior's disciples
and the brother of Peter.
As he once called to his brother, he now cries out to us:
"Come, for we have found the One whom the world desires!"

I remember reading a book about the apostles years ago by Peter Marshall,
entitled "Jesus Loved Them" in which he called St. Andrew "the bringer" because he brought Simon Peter and others to Jesus.

Good title for him, "the bringer". We need people to bring us.
Liz Forest November 30, 2018 at 8:25 am
Why he had Greek name? His parents knew he'd fit in better with the Greek population. Reminds me of how many who migrated to U>S> changed their names to sound like or become Americanized so they'd fit in.
the photo shows a plaque that says "The Winegrower's House." I wonder how do the excavations lead to the conclusion that a winegrower lived here. Just curious! The word "Follow" could be interpreted in a broader sense? Be with me, learn from me, and you will do what I do.
Gloria November 30, 2019 at 4:05 pm
I also heard St. Andrew called "the bringer" in a homily about him many years ago.

That's him, Gloria, a "bringer."
It's an Israeli team, I remember. They don't make many mistakes. FV


I am seeing two different address numbers for the same BP and the Name1, Name2 etc details are getting displayed for one of the address numbers and the other address number is coming as blank.
Can anyone please tell me the reason for this and how to delete the duplicates?
- One entry with APPL_FIELD as ADDRCOMM is related to table BUT000, hence ADDRNUMBER corresponding to this would be of less significance and it gets created for every partner.
- Another entry with APPL_FIELD as PARTNER is related to table BUT020 (This is actual Business Partner Address), the ADDRNUMBER in this case contains the original address of the BP.
Could anyone please tell me the use of having 2 address entries in these tables and is there any way of deleting the duplicate entry?
Thanks for your reply Laurent.
In my issue actually I am seeing two enteries for same BP in the table ADRC. One is coming as blank and another is coming up with the address details.
Could you please let me know the reason for this?
I have already posted my findings in the same thread.
Resolved it myself.Hence closing this thread.

Q: QT QML - Display a Rect in existing ApplicationWindow from C++ I have Qt Project (Windows, Desktop) along with several QMl files. My main.cpp looks like this (simplified):
    int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
       QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling);
       QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);

       QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
       engine.load(QUrl(QLatin1String("qrc:/QMLFiles/main.qml")));

       return app.exec();
    }

The main.qml is this:
    import QtQuick 2.7
    import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
    import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0
    import QtQuick.Window 2.0

    ApplicationWindow {
       id: mainWindow
       objectName: "mainWindow"
       visibility: "Maximized"
       title: "Title goes here"
    }

I also have some qml files (window.qml) that i want to display in the Apllication Window. They behave like windows (dragable, resizeable, ...).
    import QtQuick 2.7
    import QtQuick.Window 2.0
    //Removed MouseAreas and children
    Rectangle {
       id: rect
       objectName: "rect"
       width: 400
       height: 400
       x: 100
       y: 100
       border.width: 2
       border.color: "black"
   }

I can of course call them in the main.qml file with
    import QtQuick 2.7
    import QtQuick.Controls 2.0
    import QtQuick.Layouts 1.0
    import QtQuick.Window 2.0

    ApplicationWindow {
       id: mainWindow
       objectName: "mainWindow"
       visibility: "Maximized"
       title: "Title goes here"
       //New:
       Window {}
    }

But I don't want them to be there from the start. I want a HandlerObject (or something) in C++ that manages a list of Windows generated by the window.qml file and can open and close them with a function. Is this possible?
Cheers

A: Assuming you want to have a C++ data set per Window, my suggestion would be to implement a QAbstractListModel derived class that provides this data, each "row" of the model having the data for one Window.
class WindowModel : public QAbstractListModel
{
    Q_OBJECT

// ....
};

Exposing an instance of that model to QML
WindowModel windowModel;
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("_windowModel", &windowModel);
engine.load(QUrl(QLatin1String("qrc:/QMLFiles/main.qml")));

On the QML side you then use a Repeater with the Window as its delegate and the C++ provided model as its model.
Repeater {
    model: _windowModel
    delegate: Window {
        // access data provided by the model
    }
}

It takes awhile to pull this together, as you want to leave plenty of time to let the red wine cook down, and then let the stock thicken into a dense sauce. So this dish is great for cooking on a Sunday and having as leftovers throughout the week.
A lovely, light, egg-free fruitcake, made in the mould of a traditional vinegar cake – that is, it's the baking powder in the flour, combined with a splash of cider vinegar, that creates the "rise". Serves eight to 10.
This has been my 'go to' rice dish for many years. It started as a Caribbean style (coconut rice with kidney beans) in around 2005, and then gained influence from a bunch of other regions from around the world over the next few years, to add a multitude of contrasting flavours and textures.
It typically uses white rice and a regular rice cooker. Then after buying a pressure cooker in 2016, there is now a variation with brown rice too.
1 small block marinated style tofu, drained, but also optional.
In a regular rice cooker, add the small tin of coconut milk or cream, refill that tin with the basmati rice and put in the rice cooker, and then fill the tin again with water and put that in too.
Give contents a good stir, and then start it cooking (10-15 minutes or so).
After a couple of minutes, add the rinsed black beans to the rice cooker, stir briefly, and then continue cooking.
Meanwhile lightly fry the optional pre-marinated tofu, diced up, in a little oil on a medium heat, to get the surfaces a little crispy whilst soft in the middle (about 5 minutes or so).
About 2-3 minutes before the rice is cooked (most of the water has been cooked off, add the drained tinned sweetcorn, and mix in briefly.
Once the rice cooker is done, add the small handful of pine nuts, stir through the mix.
Transfer to serving bowls. Top with the fried tofu as appropriate.
Add a small dash of soy sauce, and a bigger dash of sweet chilli sauce. Top with a pinch of yeast flakes if desired.
Add just the coconut milk, brown basmati rice, and 160ml of water, to the pressure cooker, give it a stir, cook for 10 minutes at High Pressure, and then allow to 'warm' for 10 minutes after.
If using tofu, fry this first (as above) and then set aside.
Using the same fry pan (emptied of tofu), fry the rinsed and drained black beans in a non-stick pan with a little oil (and crushed garlic if you're so inclined) for about 8 minutes.
Add the sweetcorn to the pan, stir, and cook through for a few minutes.
Once the brown rice is done, add that to the pan too, stir and cook off any remaining water for a couple of minutes.
Then turn off the heat, add the handful of pine nuts, and transfer to serving bowls.
Add the tofu, dash of soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce to taste, plus the yeast flakes as desired, but don't mix through too much.
Peel and roughly slice the carrot, slice the celery, peel and roughly chop the onion, peel and slice the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over a medium heat, add all the prepped ingredients, then cook with lid ajar for 10 to 15 minutes, or until softened.
Crumble the stock cube into a jug, cover with 750ml (3 cups) of boiling water, and stir until dissolved.
Sprinkle on some freshly finely grated cheese as preferred.
Sour dough is not as easy as 'instant yeast' loaves, but the results to me are well worth it. Apparently Sour Dough is easier to digest, plus as you can see it has fewer additives. More importantly though, it tastes delicious.
It requires a little more planning ahead than an instant yeast loaf, and multiple stages of the process to make the best loaves. But nothing in this is inherently complex. Just something you should allow time : I start mine on the Friday evening to have a loaf ready to bake on a Sunday morning. Or if the weather is reasonable (or if you live in a house) a Friday morning to have one ready to bake on a Saturday morning.
The process is not an exact science, but working with something living that might want a few variations as you work with it. In my experience it gives good feedback when you have a feel of what to look for, and I've not had any disastrous loaves yet.
I've also found wholemeal sour dough to be pretty easy, even living on a boat and without a fridge or a warm cosy place, it just requires a bit more patience and working with your environment. Just try to keep it away from cold drafts.
Some of my wholemeal loaves have taken 3 days to make in the winter. You can also mix partial wholemeal with white flour to make it a bit quicker. Or use the same process for 100% white flour.
The better the quality of flour you use, the better the results. Even the best organic stoneground flour is not significantly priced, so the cheapest flour is a false economy. Especially when you're giving the loaf a lot of attention, why skimp on virtually the only ingredient?
Feeding is normally a heaped teaspoon of quality flour, with a dash of water. Personally I like to feed it the flour I'm going to make the loaf with, so if I'm mainly making wholemeal loaves, I feed the starter with a little wholemeal flour each day.
I generally feed mine every day at my own breakfast time. You can also keep it in the fridge and feed it once a week, but depending on what else you keep in the fridge, this can adversely affect the starter due to the cross-contamination in the space.
I try to keep my starter around 1/2 cup (125ml) in volume, plus/minus 50ml or so each way, depending on the season (because our boat is not inherently well insulated).
In the winter period, I normally maintain my starter to be a little larger (around 175ml). In the summer when it's warmer and thus more hungry, around 80ml in volume. This way, I can just continue to feed it around one heaped teaspoon of flour each day, with a little water. Discarding any excess starter to maintain an even size either at the end of each week in the winter, or multiple times a week during the summer.
Of course if I made a loaf every day, I probably wouldn't have much starter to discard. But these days I don't make a daily bread.
I keep my starter in a small ceramic jar/pot, with a bit of waxed fabric as a lid. You can also use a regular glass jam jar. Don't every seal the lid on tight though, due to the gases produced (and thus pressure build up). A bit of fabric held in place with an elastic band, seems to work well.
Once a week or two, when the starter is on the larger side particularly, I transfer it to another container, give the normal home a good clean (scraping off the grey dry caked on stuff, above the waterline), and then return it home again.
If you forget to feed it for a few days, and a vinegary liquid pools on the surface, all is not lost. Don't mix it in. Just pour the wateriness away, and possibly the top layer of the starter as needed. Then feed it well for the first few days particularly.
This normally means for me, giving it slightly larger meals the couple of days before. If you keep yours in the fridge, you'll want to take it out a few days before, and go back to feeding daily again to re-energise the starter.
Combine a good tablespoon of active sourdough culture with the flour and water for the leaven. Mix thoroughly to form a thick batter. Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight+, ie for about 8-15 hours.
Generally, if the surface of the leaven is bubbly, it's ready to be used. You can also check by dropping a small spoonful of the leaven in a cup of water; if the leaven floats, it's ready. If it's not bubbly yet, don't worry too much if it looks like it's happy and the yeasts have combined throughout the leaven mix.
Combine the leaven and 1 cup of water, in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula or use your hands to break up and dissolve the leaven into the water. It's okay if the leaven doesn't fully dissolve and a few clumps remain.
Stir in around 1.5 cups of flour into the water mix, along with the quality oil, with a spatula until you see no more visible dry flour and you've formed a very shaggy (wet) dough. Don't expect the mix to be dry enough to knead by hand at this stage, it'll probably be pretty stringy.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes or ideally a few hours. This is the autolyse stage where the flour is fully absorbing the water and enzymes in the flour begin breaking down the starches and proteins.
Pour the salt over the dough. Work the liquid and salt into the dough by pinching and squeezing the dough. The dough will feel quite wet and loose at this point.
To fold the dough, grab the dough at one side, lift it up, and fold it over on top of itself. Fold the dough four times, moving clockwise from the top of the bowl (or giving the bowl a quarter turn in between folds).
Let the dough rest 30 minutes, then repeat.
Do this ideally 6 times, every half hour, so a total of 2 1/2 hours.
The dough will start out shaggy and very loose, but will gradually smooth out and become tighter as you continue folding. You'll probably want to add a few spoons of flour with each kneading stage, to get a dough that's more manageable. You may can also use a heavy duty mixer with a dough hook, but don't over-mix.
Once you've finished the folds, let the dough rise undisturbed for 30 to 60 minutes, until it looks slightly puffed. This dough won't double in size yet, the way regular, non-sourdough breads will; it should just look larger than it did when you started.
Sprinkle a little flour over dough. Use your pastry scraper to shape each one into a loose round — this isn't the final shaping, just a preliminary shaping to prep the dough for further shaping. You can also flour your pastry scraper as needed to keep it from sticking to the dough. Once the dough is shaped, let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes to relax the gluten again.
Line bread proofing basket, colander, or mixing bowl with clean dishtowels. Dust them heavily with flour, rubbing the flour into the cloth on the bottom and up the sides with your fingers. Use more flour than you think you'll need — it should form a thin layer over the surface of the towel.
Dust the top of the ball of dough with flour. Flip it over with a pastry scraper so that the floured side is against the board and the un-floured, sticky surface is up. Shape the loaf much like you folded the dough earlier: Grab the lip of the dough at the bottom, pull it gently up, then fold it over onto the centre of the dough. Repeat with the right and left side of the dough. Repeat with the top of the dough, but once you've fold it downward, use your thumb to grab the bottom lip again and gently roll the dough right-side up. If it's not quite a round or doesn't seem taut to you, cup your palms around the dough and rotate it against the counter to shape it up.
Dust the tops and sides of the shaped loaf generously with flour. Place into the proofing basket upside down, so the seams from shaping are on top.
Cover the basket loosely with plastic, or place it inside clean plastic bags. Let them rise at room temperature until they look billowy and poofy, 3 to 4 hours. Alternatively, place the covered basket in the refrigerator and let it rise slowly overnight, 12 to 15 hours. If rising overnight, you can bake the loaves straight from the fridge; no need to warm it before baking, unless your fridge is too cold then you may want to leave it out for a bit.
If you have one, place a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pots with lids in the oven (i.e. casserole dish), and heat to 260°C. You can also use a good heavy baking sheet or a clean roasting tray.
Carefully remove the pre-heated Dutch oven from the main oven and remove the lid. Tip the loaf into the pot so the seam-side is down. Or just tip out onto the baking sheet.
Use a sharp or serrated knife to quickly score the surface of the loaves. To be fancy, you can score the surface at a slight angle, so you're cutting almost parallel to the surface of the loaf; this gives the loaves the distinctive "shelf" along the score line.
Cover the pots and place them in the oven to bake for 20 minutes.
Resist the temptation to check the loaves at this point; just reduce the oven temperature. If you didn't have a lid because you're using a baking sheet, just carry on with these timings sans-lid.
Continue baking until the crust is deeply browned; you can aim for just short of burnt. It might feel a bit unnatural to bake loaves this fully, but this is where a lot of the flavour and texture of the crust comes in.
When done, lift the loaf out carefully.
Put this all in a blender (with the liquids in first), blend, and then eat with a spoon. It's like soft delicious fruity ice-cream!
In a large saucepan over a medium heat add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it heat.
Add the onion and garlic and cook gently for 8–10 minutes until soft, translucent and a little caramelised.
Add the cumin, coriander, turmeric and cinnamon, and fry gently for another minute or so until the spices are nicely fragrant. Take care not to let it burn.
Add the drained chickpeas, then follow with the stock, and bring everything up to a steady simmer.
Let it bubble away for about 20 minutes or until the chickpeas have softened and absorbed the flavour of the spices.
Season well with salt and pepper, and serve with a good spoonful of natural yoghurt and coriander served on top.
If you have access to a grill, get it nice and hot. Otherwise, preheat your oven to 280 degrees C. Fill a clean sink with plenty of water. Peel back the husks from each ear of corn without removing them, pull away the silks, and let them soak for a few minutes in the sink full of water. This cleans the corn, of course, but also gets a little extra moisture into the husks so you don't set them on fire as easily.
Pull the husks back into place and roast the corn in the oven (or on the grill) for about 20 minutes, turning frequently. Even though you soaked the husks, please be mindful of not lighting your corn / face on fire. Once cooked, allow the corn to cool so you can handle it without burning your hands.
Seed and dice the red pepper / capsicum, and tomato. Slice up avocado. Wash the cilantro and remove the leaves from the stems. Add jalapeños.
Once the corn is cooled, remove and discard the husks, and slice the corn from the cob with a large serrated knife.
Combine all of the veggies in big bowl with the chili pepper. Toss with lime juice, and olive oil. Add chopped mozzerella, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 190 degrees C. If not using a silicone muffin tray, line the metal with paper muffin cases.
In a large mixing bowl, add the bananas, baking powder, and baking soda. Mash until only small chunks remain.
Add vanilla, oil, sugars, maple syrup, sea salt, and cinnamon and mix vigorously to combine.
Add the 'eggy milk' to the mix, and mix once more to combine.
Add flour and oats, and stir until just combined.
Divide the batter between the silicone muffin tins, filling all the way – this should make about 6 muffins.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean and the edges are dark golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes (they'll still be lovely and warm for eating for a while yet).
Finally remove from the tin and let them cool further on a cooling rack.
Serve with butter, or as is. It's delicious either way.
Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 4 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
