Processing of a Claim: Where to Lodge
How do I find out where I should lodge my claim - should I lodge it in the Commission, in the Fair Work Commission, or the Industrial Magistrates Court?
You will need to find out which award, if any, applies to your employment. You can make that enquiry with Wageline at the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety on 1300 655 266. If you are still not sure where to lodge your claim after you speak with someone at Wageline, you may need to lodge it and then seek some legal advice.
What is the Public Service Appeal Board
The Public Service Appeal Board is a constituent authority, or part, of the Commission. It hears and determines appeals brought by government officers or public service officers. The Board is constituted by:
- A Chairman who is a Public Service Arbitrator (a Commissioner appointed to be a Public Service Arbitrator);
- The employer's nominee: somebody independent of the dispute, appointed by the employer; and
- The employee's nominee: somebody independent of the dispute, nominated by The Civil Service Association of Western Australia Incorporated or another union of which the employee is a member.
The employee's and employer's nominees do not represent the interests of the parties who nominate them. The parties either represent themselves or are represented by a lawyer, industrial agent or some other person.
Who can bring a matter to the Public Service Appeal Board, and what can be appealed?
The Board's jurisdiction varies, depending on the type of decision being appealed.
Nature of the decision being appealed
Who can appeal
An employer's decision relating to an interpretation of any provision of the Public Sector Management Act 1994 or regulations, concerning conditions of service of public service officers, other than salaries and allowances
Public service officer *
A decision or finding arising out of a substandard performance or disciplinary process under s 78 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994
Government officer *
A decision or finding arising out of a substandard performance or disciplinary process under s 172 of the Health Services Act 2016
Government officer *
Any decision to dismiss, except for a decision to dismiss arising out of a substandard performance or disciplinary process referred to above
Government officer *
* or an organisation registered under the Industrial Relations Act 1979 on behalf of the officer.
What can the Public Service Appeal Board do?
The Board hears evidence and argument presented by the parties. It does not undertake its own investigation, so the parties have to present whatever it is they want the Board to consider.
The Board has power to 'adjust' the decision made by the employer. It is for the appellant to prove the employer's decision should be adjusted. Note that the Board cannot award compensation for an employee who does not seek reinstatement: Insurance Commission v Johnson (1997) 77 WAIG 2169.
Based on its own findings of the facts and law, the Board may vary or uphold a decision of the employer. Procedural flaws in the employer's process are relevant but are not necessarily determinative of the Board's decision.
For more information on the nature of Public Service Appeal Board matters, see CSA v Department of Family and Children's Services [2002] WAIRC 7213; (2003) 83 WAIG 390 [26].
What can't the Public Service Appeal board deal with?
- Decisions dealing with redeployment and redundancy, and termination of registered redeployees.
- Mediation/conciliation.
The Board only has power to 'hear and determine' appeals before it; it has no power to conciliate or mediate. If the parties believe mediation may assist them to reach agreement, or narrow the issues in dispute, they can use the Commission's Employment Dispute Resolution service: http://www.edr.wairc.wa.gov.au/.
- The Board cannot deal with the non-renewal of a genuine fixed term contract. That is because when an employee commences employment on a fixed term contract, they are taken to have consented to the employment ending after a period of time. The decision to not renew a fixed term contract cannot be reviewed by the Board. See Brocklehurst v Ministry of Justice (1994) 74 WAIG 2024.
Is there a time limit for matters to be referred to the Board?
Yes. An appeal must be commenced within 21 days after the date of the decision, finding, determination or recommendation. If the decision, finding, determination or recommendation is published in the Government Gazette, an appeal may be commenced within one month of the date of that publication (see regulation 107(2) Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005).
Calculation of time
If a decision, finding, determination or recommendation is made on, say, 1 June, the last day for commencing an appeal is 22 June, assuming they are both ordinary business days. If the final day is a weekend or public holiday, the following business day is the final day (see reg 4(3) Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005).
Can an employee lodge an appeal 'out of time'?
Yes. Once the time limit has passed, an employee can still lodge an appeal. The appeal will be 'out of time', so the appellant must apply to have the appeal accepted out of time. There is space to provide this information within the Form 8B - Notice of Appeal - Government Officers, Public Service Officers. The Board will decide whether the appeal is to be accepted out of time.
When the Board is deciding whether to accept an appeal out of time, it is up to the appellant to satisfy the Board that strict compliance with the time limit will 'work an injustice'. The Board will consider the following four principles, weighed together. The appellant does not necessarily have to satisfy every factor if one factor is extremely compelling. However, it will help their case if they can.
- Length of the delay
If the delay is relatively short, this will tend to indicate that the time limit will 'work an injustice' and will favour the appellant.
- Reasons for the delay
Importantly, the appellant must demonstrate two things:
(a) How the reason caused the delay; and
(b) Why compliance with the time limit would 'work an injustice' in light of the reason.
Common reasons include:
- Representative or adviser made a mistake
When the delay is caused by the appellant's representative, not the appellant themselves, this will favour the appellant.
- Steps to challenge the decision
If the appellant was actively contesting the decision, other than by filing an appeal to the Board, this will favour the appellant. Other steps to challenge a decision can include mistakenly filing an application in one of the Commission's other constituent authorities or writing to the employer to challenge the decision.
- Personal circumstances of the appellant
If the appellant can show that the delay was caused by their personal circumstances and that it would 'work an injustice' to strictly comply with the time limit, this will favour the acceptance of the appeal out of time. Inconvenience alone will probably not be adequate.
- Whether the appellant has an arguable case
The merits of the appeal are assessed 'in a fairly rough and ready way'. This does not place any burden on the appellant. However, if the employer can establish that the appeal has no merit, it will be up to the appellant to show that the appeal does have merit.
- Prejudice to the employer
If the employer can show that they would suffer prejudice if the appeal is accepted out of time, this will weigh against the appeal being accepted out of time. The prejudice must be more than the 'prejudice of having to meet the proceedings.'
See Nicholas v Department of Education and Training[2008] WAIRC 1645; (2008) 89 WAIG 817.
See also Malik v Department of Education[2004] WASCA 51; (2004) 84 WAIG 683 [25].
How do I make an appeal to the Board?
The appellant files a Form 8B - Notice of Appeal - Government Officers, Public Service Officers. If the employee is a member of a union other than The Civil Service Association of Western Australia Incorporated, they should advise the Board in the application. The Board will then include a nominee of that union.
Once an appeal is filed, what happens?
- The Registry will provide you with a copy of the Form 8 for your records and send a copy of it to your employer.
- The Board's Associate may contact the parties to schedule a directions hearing or may list the appeal for hearing.
- At the directions hearing, the Board may make programming orders or directions, to guide preparation for the hearing. These may include providing for discovery, the preparation of witness evidence and outlines of submissions, a statement of agreed facts, and the venue for the hearing.
- The employer may file a Form 4 - Response (General), in which it briefly answers the appellant's Notice of appeal. The Board might require this as part of the preparation for the hearing.
- At the hearing of the appeal, the employee and employer will each have an opportunity to present their case through witnesses and other material. They will then have an opportunity at the end make a final submission.
- Once the hearing concludes, the Board is likely to take time to consider the evidence and make its decision, which will be issued in writing.
Can a decision of the Public Service Appeal Board be appealed?
The Industrial Relations Act 1979 does not provide a right of appeal from decisions of the Board.
See Titelius v Public Service Appeal Board & Ors[1999] WASCA 19 [4].
Map of 18th Floor
Appeal by a Prison Officer or Youth Custodial Officer against their removal
Amendments made to the Prisons Act 1981 and the Young Offenders Act 1994 provide that a prison officer or a youth custodial officer who has been removed as a result of a loss of confidence process may appeal to the Commission on the ground that the removal decision was harsh, oppressive or unfair.
In the case of a prison officer, the appeal is brought pursuant to s 106 of the Prisons Act 1981.
In the case of a youth custodial officer, the appeal is brought pursuant to s 11CH of the Young Offenders Act 1994.
The process of the appeal is the same for both a prison officer and for a youth custodial officer. Set out below is some preliminary information regarding the appeal process. It is intended as a guide only. You will need also to read the appeal rights as they are set out in the Act applicable to you, and the steps described in Part 9A or 9B of the Industrial Relations Commission Regulations 2005.
Commencing an appeal
The appeal is instituted by filing a Form 8C - Notice of Appeal or Referral (Other Matters) in the Commission within 28 days after the day the prison officer or youth custodial officer is removed.
Note that an appeal cannot be instituted more than 28 days after the day the prison officer or youth custodial officer is removed or if they have resigned.
Once it is filed
A copy of the filed Form 8C with the appeal number and the stamp of the Commission will be returned to the appellant. The Registry will send a copy of the Form 8C to the employer.
What happens next
The Chief Executive Officer is to file a Form 4 - Response (General) within 28 days of receiving the Form stating:
the Chief Executive Officer's reasons for deciding to take removal action;
a list of all documents that the Chief Executive Officer considered before making the decision;
a summary of facts or issues of law relied upon by the Chief Executive Officer including any relevant matters set out in section 107(4) of the Prisons Act 1981 or section 11CI(4) of the Young Offenders Act 1994;
a reply containing any matters the Chief Executive Officer wishes to raise in relation to the appellant's case.
The Commission may then ask whether either the appellant or the Chief Executive Officer requests the appeal to go to conciliation. Conciliation will be before a member of the Commission who will not hear the appeal. It may take two – four weeks for conciliation to occur. Further programming of the hearing of the appeal will cease until it is known whether or not conciliation results in an agreed settlement of the appeal.
If there is no request for conciliation, then within 14 days of the response being served, the Chief Executive Officer is to file three copies of every document relied upon by the Chief Executive Officer in the appellant's case. Within 14 days of receiving these documents, the appellant is to file three of every document relied upon by the appellant.
Note that the Commission may direct that these times be varied if necessary, for example, if there is conciliation occurring.
The Commission is likely to enquire as to how long the appellant and the Chief Executive Officer think they will need to present their respective cases (for example, is it likely to take more than one day of hearing for both their cases? One day of hearing is usually between 10.30 am to 1.00 pm and 2.15 pm to 4.00pm).
The Commission will set the date the appeal itself is likely to be heard. This date will usually take into account the availability of the appellant or their representative, the
availability of the Chief Executive Officer's representative, and the dates the Commission has available.
'New Evidence'
Section 108 of the Prisons Act 1981 and s 11CJ(1) of the Young Offenders Act 1994 mean that the appeal is to be heard and determined on the basis of the following documents —
a document or other material that was examined and taken into account by the chief executive officer in making the removal decision;
the notice given under section 102(1);
a written submission made to the chief executive officer by the prison officer under section 102(2);
a decision notice;
a notification of the removal;
If an appellant or the Chief Executive Officer wants the Commission to take into account any other document or evidence, they will need to ask the Commission for permission (called 'seeking leave') to tender new evidence. Note that s 108 of the Prisons Act 1981 and s 11CJ(1) of the Young Offenders Act 1994 impose conditions on granting leave to tender new evidence.
An application seeking leave to tender new evidence is made by completing a Form 1C - Application (no other specified form) and attaching to it a copy of the new evidence for which leave to tender is being sought.
The Commission will give the other party to the appeal time to consider it and to reply to the application. The application to tender new evidence will then be listed for hearing and the Commission will hear the application and decide whether it will be granted.
Note that the appeal itself will not be able to be heard until after the application for leave to tender new evidence is decided by the Commission.
Long Service Leave Provisions
The Long Service Leave General Order, normally printed the Western Australian Industrial Gazette, is no longer being produced because, with effect from 4 July 2006, that General Order was repealed by section 64 of the Labour Relations Legislation Amendment Act 2006. As a consequence of that amendment, any reference in an industrial instrument (award, order, industrial agreement, employer-employee agreement) to the Long Service Leave General Order is to be read as a reference to the Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA).
The Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA), in lieu of the Commission's General Order, now regulates long service leave for all Western Australian employees including those covered by awards, industrial agreements, employer-employee agreements, or the Minimum Conditions of Employment Act 1993.
The Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA) continues to have effect notwithstanding the changes to the Fair Work Act (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 (Cth) because that Act, at section 27(2)(g), allows the Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA) to continue to have effect. Therefore, the Long Service Leave Act 1958 (WA) applies to all Western Australian employees.

How Can I Remotely Control a Computer?
Remote access solution is a technology that allows you to access another computer remotely. These days, a lot of modern businesses and organizations use this tool to enhance their productivity and maximize their efficiency. In this guide, we'll show you how to remotely control a computer or a device.
1. Remote Access Software - Remote access software is a type of program that provides users with the ability to connect to a remote device from a distance. This connection allows users to access and control the remote computer as if they are sitting in front of it. From there, they can perform a bunch of computing tasks a person sitting in front of the remote device can. They can use apps, have access to keyboard and mouse, and perform administrative tasks.
Remote access software needs to be downloaded and installed on both the local and remote devices. Once installed, it will display the screen of the target endpoint on your local desktop so you can freely access and control it remotely. Most remote access software also uses encryption technologies that prevent unwanted recordings of confidential interaction between the local and remote computers.
2. Windows Remote Desktop Connection - Windows Remote Desktop Connection or RDC is a free Microsoft feature that provides remote access solution to users. Just like remote access software, it allows users to control and access a remote device from a physically separate location. However, Windows Remote Desktop Connection can only be used on the same network. It's a little complicated to use outside of your own network as it will require you to either establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or expose your device directly to the internet. This may not be the safest remote access solution as you're also exposing your device and system to harmful threats outside of your network's walls and protection.

Smile Again
七色の明日~brand new beat~
Right Here Right Everywhere
色の明日~brand new beat~
Apparently, she was supposed to sing two songs she had never sung before. But she forgot she did Smile Again at the IDENTITY Tour lmao. The conversation follows (took from another fan account, I don't where it was originally, though, cause I took it from BoA Brasil's Facebook group. I only went at the night event!):
BoA after singing 'Smile Again',
"As far as I know, it was the first time I sang it live."
Fans said she actually sang it at Identity Tour.
BoA, (with a quiet voice) "Did I sing it?" (Fans laughed)
BoA, "Staffs, please check it for me." (Fans laughed)
BoA, "Did I sing it? When? Identity Tour? When was it? 8 years ago?"
BoA, "Then you heard Smile Again for the first time in 8 years." (Fans laughed)
BoA, "I guess I should watch my DVD." (Fans laughed)
The fan meeting was nice, she was cute as always. There was a game part with members of her band, they played golf, ring toss, and darts hahaha it was cool. She was so competitive though, looked like a child hahahaha I guess she wasn't so serious, though. she is so cute <3 when she was losing, she told one her band members something like "this is MY fanclub meeting, you know?" haushaush

Omg I didn't see the video and it was removed!! Do you have another link or could you tell me what the video was? Was it the fanmeet?
I haven't had the time to watch Food Diary, how is it? Regarding the controversy, honestly I think people were overreacting a little bit. Do they know where they food they eat comes from? I can understand their concern about raising the animals with love and then eating them, but is it better to treat them cruelly before slaughtering them? There were some comments I saw that raised this up too so I'm glad it wasn't a one sided controversy.

One of the teams from MNET Produce 48 sang Meri Kuri !
On a side note, reddit.com/r/kpop has a top 10 voting thread for a different artist every week and BoA's is finally coming up on August 21!! Just a heads up for whomever wants to participate I'm excited but also dreading it because how in the world am I going to pick a top 10 BoA songs list... I made a preemptive list and I'm stuck at 20 songs lol

I agree wholeheartedly about holding a physical book. I tried a Kindle years ago and just couldn't do it. I'm trying to use the library more instead and save shelf space for the books near and dear to me. Today was pure bliss, spent reading outside in the sunshine. I hope you have many similar days, too!

Anyway, I'm so glad to know you take as much pleasure in books as I do. I didn't know that about you. There's something about holding them, reading them, turning the page - a real, tangible, page - that just gets you. Doesn't it?

Glad to hear you enjoyed time with kiddos. And, my mom swears by daffodils (or as she would say, "daffy-down-lilies").

Chrissy Teigen is the girl we all want to be our bestie. She's cool, smart, funny as hell and doesn't take herself too seriously (and imagine borrowing from her wardrobe!), but since the birth of her daughter 11 months ago, behind her smile and quick wit she's been hiding something big, something painful. She's suffering from post natal depression.
The model and TV host penned an open letter in this month's Glamour magazine to share her struggle with the world in the hope it would help other women talk about this often taboo subject that so any women face.
This is some of what she had to say and if you thought you couldn't love or admire this woman any more, you're about to be proven wrong.
"I had everything I needed to be happy. And yet, for much of the last year, I felt unhappy. What basically everyone around me—but me—knew up until December was this: I have postpartum depression. How can I feel this way when everything is so great? I've had a hard time coming to terms with that, and I hesitated to even talk about this, as everything becomes such a "thing." During pregnancy, what I thought were casual comments about IVF turned into headlines about me choosing the sex of my daughter. And I can already envision what will be said about me after this admission. But it's such a major part of my life and so, so many other women's lives. It would feel wrong to write anything else. So here goes.
After I had Luna, our home was under construction, so we lived in a rental home, then a hotel, and I blamed whatever stress or detachment or sadness I was feeling at that time on the fact that there were so many odd circumstances. I remember thinking: "Maybe I'll feel better when we have a home."
I went back to work on Lip Sync Battle in August, when Luna was four months. The show treated me incredibly well—they put a nursery in my dressing room and blew up photos of Luna and John and my family for my wall. When Luna was on set, they lowered the noise levels. They turned down the air so she wouldn't be cold. Only the most gentle knocking on the door. Pump breaks. I mean, there was no better place to get to go back to work to. But I was different than before.
Getting out of bed to get to set on time was painful. My lower back throbbed; my shoulders—even my wrists—hurt. I didn't have an appetite. I would go two days without a bite of food, and you know how big of a deal food is for me. One thing that really got me was just how short I was with people. I would be in my dressing room, sitting in a robe, getting hair and makeup done, and a crew member would knock on the door and ask: "Chrissy, do you know the lyrics to this song?" And I would lose it. Or "Chrissy, do you like these cat ears, or these panda hands?" And I'd be like: "Whatever you want. I don't care." They would leave. My eyes would well up and I would burst into tears. My makeup artist would pat them dry and give me a few minutes.I couldn't figure out why I was so unhappy. I blamed it on being tired and possibly growing out of the role: "Maybe I'm just not a goofy person anymore. Maybe I'm just supposed to be a mom."
When I wasn't in the studio, I never left the house. I mean, never. Not even a tiptoe outside. I'd ask people who came inside why they were wet. Was it raining? How would I know—I had every shade closed. Most days were spent on the exact same spot on the couch and rarely would I muster up the energy to make it upstairs for bed. John would sleep on the couch with me, sometimes four nights in a row. I started keeping robes and comfy clothes in the pantry so I wouldn't have to go upstairs when John went to work. There was a lot of spontaneous crying.
I started keeping robes and comfy clothes in the pantry so I wouldn't have to go upstairs when John went to work.
Anytime I was seen out, it was because I had already had work or a work event that day. Meaning I wouldn't have to muster up the energy to take a shower, because it was already done. It became the same story every day: Unless I had work, John knew there was not a chance in hell we were going on a date, going to the store, going anywhere. I didn't have the energy.
During that time my bones hurt to the core. I had to go to the hospital; the back pain was so overwhelming. I felt like I was in an episode of Grey's Anatomy: These kids were around me, asking questions. Maybe it was a kidney infection? No one could figure it out. I saw rheumatoid doctors for the wrist pain; we thought it might be rheumatoid arthritis. I felt nauseated all the time, so I saw a GI doctor. I wondered: Am I making this all up? Is this pain even real anymore?
Before the holidays I went to my GP for a physical. John sat next to me. I looked at my doctor, and my eyes welled up because I was so tired of being in pain. Of sleeping on the couch. Of waking up throughout the night. Of throwing up. Of taking things out on the wrong people. Of not enjoying life. Of not seeing my friends. Of not having the energy to take my baby for a stroll. My doctor pulled out a book and started listing symptoms. And I was like, "Yep, yep, yep." I got my diagnosis: postpartum depression and anxiety. (The anxiety explains some of my physical symptoms.)
I remember being so exhausted but happy to know that we could finally get on the path of getting better. John had that same excitement. I started taking an antidepressant, which helped. And I started sharing the news with friends and family—I felt like everyone deserved an explanation.
The mental pain of knowing I let so many people down at once was worse than the physical pain. To have people that you respect, who are the best in the business, witness you at your worst is tough. Even though this was something I shouldn't have to apologize for, I did want to apologize. Because on a set, people depend on you. A lot of people are coming together and all you have to do, Christine, is put on a unicorn head and shoot a money gun. Editors are wondering what the f-ck happened to the girl they gave a book deal to. This shit was flying through my head and I felt horrible.
Before this, I had never, ever—in my whole entire life—had one person say to me: "I have postpartum depression."

Actor and Comedian Scott Takeda is starring in feature films shot in town and local comedy shows with some improv in between.
With roles in major films like "Gone Girl" and Academy award winning "Dallas Buyers Club", Scott Takeda is simply unstoppable when it comes to taking showbiz by storm. Currently working between Los Angeles and Albuquerque, Scott is filming a movie starring Tina Fey (30 Rock), Billy Bob Thornton (Fargo), and Margot Robbie (Wolf of Wall Street). The feature film Fun House which is being produced by the creator of Saturday Night Live Lorne Michaels, is based on the novel The Taliban Shuffle by Kim Barker, a reporter and former bureau Chief for the Chicago Tribune. The story is a harrowing and witty comedic account of her experiences covering Afghanistan and Pakistan. Though he is based in Denver, this film adds to the long list of projects Scott Takeda returns to Albuquerque for again and again, and he's certainly not complaining. "I love Albuquerque. It is beautiful and the people are so friendly. There is a real simple beauty about Albuquerque and I'm thrilled every time I have a chance to go there." he tells us.

As a matter of fact, Scott's first acting job on a set was right here in the Land of Enchantment. The first TV Show he ever book happened to be the short-lived 2008 dramedy Easy Money. Scott remembers his first role in front of the camera and remembers it as his "foundational memories of being on set and [learning] what it's like to be a professional actor.".
Aside from returning to the five-o-five for Fun House with Tina Fey, Scott is touring in a special improv comedy that will be showing at The Box Performance Space. He will be starring with a cast of fellow improv actors in a show titled Working Together that is being directed by Scott's improv instructor and founder of the project, Justin Franzen. Working Together originally premiered in Denver where it received standing ovations. The show is a workplace comedy that is stylized in the form of a 1990s sitcom and is a product of collaboration between Scott and improv comedy actors he works with regularly. "We wanted to think of a kind of show that we hadn't seen before. So we thought, what about a sitcom? And we wanted to make it period specific so we decided on the 1990s, the era of shows like Beavis&Butthead." Scott says. Even more unique, the show will be largely interactive with the audience. "We definitely try to get the audience involved. We like to bring a guest onstage and kind of interview them and ask questions about what goes on in their workplace."
Though having worked in major films and on multiple sets, Scott embraces his roots in improv and theater. He recalls studying in the Upright Citizens Brigade theater in Los Angeles and believes that kind of talent and skill is the foundation for all acting. "It keeps your comedy chops sharp. We have to create our own scenery and our own little world. It is really refreshing to go on stage.". The transition from being on set so often and going back to stage does however have some humorous challenges for Scott, "One thing that freaks me out on my way to every single show, somewhere halfway in between, I think I didn't memorize my lines! But then I remember, I don't need them! It's okay. There's no script. We create it ourselves."
Look for Scott in Working Together at The Box Performance Space starting March 27th at 10:30pm and March 28th at 9:30pm.

No Taco Seasoning..No Problems!
allrecipes.com/recipe/taco-seasoning-i/ Desperation has led me to some of my favorite recipes. This morning, I realized that I have no taco seasoning. Of course, I realized this after I've already been to the store; and right before I was going to brown some ground beef for nachos and tacos. So, did I drag myself and a four-year-old to the store? Nooo...heck no! I made my own seasoning using this simple recipe. I also added a little chipotle powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon black pepper

Book: Psalm Hymns, Volume Five, Psalms 107-150
Author: L.L. Larkins
Genre: Non-Fiction
Release Date: July 10, 2019
You've landed on the final book of Biblical Psalms in the Psalm Hymns series, Volume Five, Psalms 107-150 contains singable, recitable psalms in full form, adapted from the Biblical Psalms.
In this last volume of the Psalm Hymns series, you are offered a method for singing book V of the Biblical Psalms. Maybe your favorite psalm is included.
There are some sticky psalms, like Psalm 119- King David's love poem to God's law. You can ask yourself while singing it, why the law is important to a King. Psalm 137 is full of bile and bitterness, written by the remnant captives after the desolation of Jerusalem. But there are also the most lyrical and beautiful of praises for the eternal rule of God found in the Psalms of Ascent and in Psalm 107 and Psalm 136.
Psalm 139 is the lyrical ode and articulate description of God knitting our bodies together in secret, and how He watches over and cares for us no matter where we go.
The Celebration Psalms finish out the entire book of Psalms and Psalm Hymns series as a grand finale.

Book: Divine Intentions
Author: Doug K. Reed
Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Personal Growth
Release Date: January 7, 2020
Divine Intentions takes readers on a journey of self-discovery through four key concepts: rescued, restored, relabeled, and redirected. Most people, even Christ-followers, are wounded at their core, with soul-level injuries that affect their identity. They may be hurting from past circumstances or feel trapped in their current ones. Basic discipleship sends believers on a journey…but it's tough to take those steps while you're hurting. Doug K. Reed offers healing for those who are searching for answers to their identities in Christ while struggling with wounds from the past or present. He shares his own personal story of restoration from pornography, pride, and other issues, helping to lead readers into the light of God's love.

In his over thirty years of ministry experience, Doug has also served as a senior pastor and on staff at large churches.
Woodworking has been a hobby of mine since childhood. When my wife, Jeanne, and I were engaged, I created a wooden jewelry box for her that she still treasures and uses to this day, thirty years later. Every time she uses it, she's reminded of how much I love her.
That jewelry box was designed with a specific purpose in mind. If, God forbid, I ever got mad at her, removed her jewelry, and put my fishing lures in there, the gift that once brought joy would now cause pain. And that jewelry box would make a lousy tackle box because it was not designed for that purpose. My creation would fail to fulfill my original intention.
In a similar way, we have been lovingly designed by God for a specific purpose. We can fill our life with lesser things, but He lovingly designed us to hold the treasure of destiny. He created us with the capacity to fulfill all He has planned for us.
Far too many books are written to advanced leaders without considering where the majority of people find themselves. The goal of the book is to meet people where they are. The book dives into their pain and to honestly and authentically address it. My own story is the constant backdrop in the book which adds greatly to its relatability. The combination of storytelling and deep content make this book unique.

Book: Climbing into Eternity: My Descent In Hell and Flight To Heaven
Author: Michele Pulford
Genre: Non-Fiction
Release Date: April 2018
"I died twice and came back to tell about it."
Michele flirted with death for six years, trying to numb her pain following a sexual pervert's attack. Attempting to protect herself, she allowed hatred of men to control her, and used mind control to manipulate others. Suffering with acute anorexia nervosa, she was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital at age twenty-three.
She woke up in hell, a place of eternal damnation, horror, torment, and fire. Rescued by the Savior whose soft, gentle voice she had rejected, Michele was given a new chance at life and turned wholeheartedly to the Lord.
When her body was completely paralyzed from an anaphylactic allergy attack as a young mother, she found life leaving her body once again. "This time," she says, "I was ushered into the splendorous glory of Heaven—a place of almost indescribable light and love."
Sent back to tell her story, Michele Pulford warns others of the horrors of the kingdom of darkness, and tells them of the glory of true abundant life in God's kingdom of light.
This personal love story, as well as a story about death and eternal life, is both a warning and a promise, and ultimately an unforgettable account of the love of God that would not let a young woman go.

Unfortunately, I was unable to finish this book because of the theological issues in it. I read about half of it before I could not continue; if felt wrong to be reading it. Due to this, I am unable to recommend this book to anyone. I know authors put their hearts and souls into their work, so I appreciate her effort in writing and feel terrible that I cannot give her a glowing review. Her story is heart-breaking to read with what happened to her at a young age, but I cannot in good conscience endorse the book.
If you do decide to read it, there are a few things that I feel I should warn you about. One is how negative and hateful she was for the entire portion I read of the book, which was just before the halfway mark. Michele Pulford suffered a horrible attack when she was young and it, understandably, scarred her; however, she describes in such detail how much she hated men and wanted them to suffer. It was so oppressive to read so much hatred with no rays of light. If you choose to read it, you may want to pace it so that you do not find yourself bogged down by the negative thoughts. Another thing I feel that I should warn potential readers about is her belief that demons spoke to her daily and gave her mind powers to harm men mentally. She believes that the demons granted her the power to "zone in and read people's thoughts" (p. 39). This is a recurring theme in the book; she also thought she was able to use her mind powers to crush men's spirits. Lastly, she is very descriptive in the attack that happened to her and her subsequent punishments she performed on herself. I think this may be a trigger for those who have been victims of sexual assaults and attacks. This attack is what fueled her hatred for men, and the fear of something like it happening again drove her to be an exercise fanatic so she could be stronger than men. Thoughts of what happened to her and how her senses played a part in it come up in the book a few times, which can cause a person to be very uncomfortable while reading it.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit. I was in no way required to provide a review.
Michele Pulford trained and worked as a fashion designer and textile lecturer from 1982 to 2009. After attending evening Bible school, she was further trained at MES Aksie, an evangelical missions ministry, before doing missionary outreach and relationship building among the locals in the Maghadighadi Pans of Botswana from 1990 to 1996. A marketplace intercessor and teacher on prayer, she makes her home with her husband Charles in South Africa. Their family consists of a son Cyle-jay, his wife Natasha, and grandson, Asher Ethan; and a daughter Brontii-ann.
After a sexual pervert's attack at ten years of age, I invited evil into my life. I became an embittered, hateful teenager consumed by acute anorexia with murderous hate towards men. This led me into an abusive marriage of two years which ended with a failed murder attempt. Due to my failure I landed up DOA at my local hospital from premeditated suicide. On dying, I was taken to the evil and fiery demon invested accusing, tormenting pit of hell. It was here where the miraculous Light and Life of Jesus ripped through and rescued me.
I began my new life with my best friend, the Holy Spirit. Miraculously I married my high school sweetheart. The miraculous continued when after being declared completely barren, God's love and grace stepped in resulting with me giving birth to a son and a daughter. Our family joy was shadowed by my soul-destroying bulimic addiction which God's grace eventually set me free from. The life-death challenges did not end there. I found myself in an intense battle with witchdoctors as well with the dangers of onset anaphylactic attacks. It was one of these attacks that found me dying once again, with my husband and doctor watching. This time I was taken to the gates of heaven and glory. This is my story of life and death, heaven and hell, blessing and cursing.

Book: The Portrait of A Christian
Author: Raymond Sopp
Genre: Non-fiction, Theology
Release Date: November, 2019
The apostle Paul, with great knowledge of Scripture, said in Philippians 3:7–8: "But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ." (NASB)
It takes a courageous person to take a second look—to lay down their life—just as the apostle Paul. Are you willing to take a second look, to lay down your life? The Portrait of a Christian was written to help you do so.
For more than thirty-eight years, Minister Raymond D. Sopp studied the Scriptures, not to parrot God's Word through memorization but just to know God's heart as He communicated through His Word. To know anyone's heart, you must listen to their words.
Raymond wrote The Portrait of a Christian to challenge and provoke thought to those who desire a closer relationship with Christ. He wanted to paint a portrait of God's heart through thirty-one separate commentaries—starting with the importance God placed on His Gospel and ending with a Lost Love. All of us must earnestly contend for the faith!
Click here to get your copy.
Minister Raymond D. Sopp has been a born-again Christian for more than thirty-eight years and ordained for more than eighteen years. He is not affiliated with any organization, nor a denomination. This has given him a unique opportunity to view the entire realm of Christianity from an objective point of view. His heart broke when he saw so many inconsistencies within the Church at-large. He inherently knew in his heart that the best way to point out error is to expose the truth in a way to provoke thought and challenge the Christian reader, while at the same time reach out to the nonbelieiver.
Concerned by the teachings that he heard, or better yet, what he did not hear, he started a ministry on May 1, 1996 solely focused on reaching the world. (Sopp Ministries became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization on January 1, 1999.) The only purpose this ministry has is salvation both within and outside the Church at-large. Being somewhat overwhelmed, he knew he needed to stay focused on delivering a narrow message—a message that will cause all to examine themselves (2 Corinthians 13:5) to see if they're literally born-again—to a true and biblical salvation—a simple message that has both temporal and eternal implications.
Do you believe we're approaching the Last Days? Are you seeing the season change—beginning to see leaves fall to the ground? Yes! Then, The Portrait of a Christian, is a must read for you.
There are several warnings given to the professing Christian in God's Word; to me, the most terrifying warning to the professing Christian for this time we're living in is what Jesus said in Matthew 7:15–23: "'Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.' Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.'" (NASB)
The book I wrote, The Portrait of a Christian, is to help the professing Christian not to be one of those who just say "Lord, Lord." Are you willing to take a second look at your Christianity? If so, then The Portrait of a Christian was written for you.
How did writing this book grow you spiritually?
I grew exponentially spiritually as I wrote, The Portrait of a Christian. I studied the Bible diligently and prayed what to write about for two months before I began to write a chapter.
What do you like to do when you are not writing?
Minister to others and give out the Gospel message.
Favorite quote?
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.
When did you start writing?
How do you do research for your books?
With much prayer I read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation—without looking first at any commentaries written by others.
Thank you Raymond for taking your time to let us get to know you better!

Book: Faith's Journey
Author: Heather Greer
Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance
Release Date: February, 2018
Sometimes it's the unexpected path that leads you on your journey back to faith.
Katie McGowan left her parents and their faith behind years ago. However, when faced with a devastating betrayal, Katie is ready to go back to Carbondale, Illinois to help her elderly parents despite their tempestuous relationship. Drained by the constant friction, Katie finds emotional support and encouragement in Austin. His practical, simple faith speaks to Katie, and she finds herself yearning for a new connection to God. As their friendship grows, so does the attraction between Katie and Austin.
Before her fledgling faith and thoughts of romance have a chance to take root, Katie's cheating fiancé returns, remorseful and promising change. Can her tentative faith strengthen their past love? And if her heart breaks again, will Katie's journey to faith end before it has really begun?
Click here to get your copy.
Heather Greer is a pastor's kid and pastor's wife from southern Illinois. Though her nest is quickly approaching the empty stage, with three of her four children out on their own, she enjoys the times she gets to spend with all her children, husband, and grandson. Equal mix geek and romantic, you could as easily find Heather watching an episode of Doctor Who as the latest Hallmark movie. Of course, you may find her baking, reading, or crafting too!
Heather's writing and teaching ministries revolve around a passion to see believers grow in their faith. Though God has used her most often with teens and adults, she has worked in ministries reaching all age groups through the years. It is Heather's prayer for God to use what she writes in her books and on her blog to challenge and encourage readers in their faith walks.
What happens when a person raised in church begins to see the failure of those within the church to live their faith every day instead of on Sunday morning? Often, the truths of scripture are pushed aside in favor of blanket statements like "churches are full of hypocrites" and "I don't want to follow a God whose people are like that". In frustration, they walk out the church doors in frustration. Sometimes they walk out with their beliefs intact, but other times faith gets left in the pew they vacate.
That's what happened to Katie in Faith's Journey. And when she left home for college disappointed with the people in the church she was raised in and at odds with her mother, it was all too easy to listen to the voices in her life telling her religion and God made no difference in life. Deciding she knew better than anyone what her life should be, Katie makes her own decisions without considering the God she left behind.
It takes a return home for Katie to start realizing there may be more to God than the people in the pews. Maybe she was quick to see the failures of others to live their faith but slow to see her own problems with the same issue. And maybe it's time to acknowledge that regardless of how others are living out their faith, God has plans for her and desires a relationship with her that defines who she is every day.
While the original idea that sparked Faith's Journey was what happens when someone you love betrays you, I quickly realized Katie's story was more than that. In a sense, the first betrayal she needed to face wasn't the one with her boyfriend. It was the perceived betrayal by those in the church who failed to live faith outside the church walls. It's a feeling I believe many Christians have to face since there isn't a perfect person in any pew.
I pray Faith's Journey may be an encouragement and give a new perspective to those who currently struggle with the idea of church. And I hope it's also a challenge to those of us faithfully in the pews each week to make our time there about more than religion or habit. I pray Faith's Journey challenges us to evaluate the depth of relationship with have with God and let Him change the way we live every day, not just on Sunday.
What is your favorite childhood book?
That isn't an easy question. I remember going to the school library each week and picking out a Berenstain Bears book to take home. Those are the first ones I remember loving. But as I got a little older my mom worked in a Christian bookstore. She would bring home Janette Oake's Animal Friends series for me. I specifically remember Spunky's Diary from that series. Sweet Valley High books were popular when I was in middle school and junior high. I never read them, but I loved a Christian version called the Cedar River Daydreams series by Judy Baer and the Christy Miller series by Robin Jones Gunn. I think my first book crushes came from those two series!
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
I read. I love to bake and do craft projects. I'm not really picky and will try anything I think is cute. Usually it's something I've found on Pinterest. And I'm guilty of binge watching my favorite television shows and the latest Hallmark movies. But I usually turn to the shows and movies when I've had a long day and want to do something where I don't have to think.
How do you select the names of your characters?
It really depends. I named Katie after my great-grandmother, though she is nothing like the real Katherine McGowan. My granny wouldn't have let anyone get away with calling her Katie! I don't usually name characters after real people, but there are exceptions like Katie. Other than that, I usually start with a picture of the character. Once I have that, I consider their personality, where they're from, and what they look like to come up with names that suit them. Once I have a name, I'll text it to a few friends and get their feedback on it.
What comes first, the plot or the characters?
Though I can't say it's always the case, I think my plot comes first. Or at least the idea that brings the plot. I'm generally more of a pantser than a plotter. When I sit down to write I have a theme or scene that has inspired me. I don't usually have much more than that. Any plotting I do is fairly loose and general. Due to this less structured way of writing, I have to have the characters in place before I have all the details worked out. On rare occasions I may start with a character, but those are very rare.
What was your hardest scene to write?
What was the hardest in Faith's Journey or overall? Any scenes where betrayal plays a part are difficult because whether it's a friend, family member, or someone we're in love with having trust broken in the relationship, to me, is one of the worst things that can happen. I believe most of us have probably felt that sting at one point or another. And betrayal and the damage it causes are themes I had to deal with in Faith's Journey from a romantic perspective, parental perspective, and spiritual perspective.
The hardest scene I've had to write overall would have to be the time I gave a main character a happy ending only to tear it all away. To set this person on the right track and then challenge her with incredible loss seemed cruel but necessary. Readers of this story have expressed their own anger at what happens and their desires to see the character find restoration. It was as difficult for me to write these scenes as it is for the readers to read them.

Dolce & Gabbana: Ready-to-wear SS17
This is new generation Dolce & Gabbana. If you've been keeping a close eye on Stefano Gabbana's Instagram this week, you'd know about the eighteen millennials sitting front row at the Dolce and Gabbana Spring Summer 2017 show in Milan today. So it made sense that as we walked into the Tropico Italiano themed show, Justin Bieber and only Justin Bieber blared through the chaos. And then Tropico Italiano began, Italian breakdancers stormed the runway and partied. Dressed in baseball jerseys, flannels tied around their waists and sneakers. Totally anarchic, making way for the new young money Dolce girl to follow. Obvs everything was embellished from boleros to mini skirts to the flowers adorning their hair. Floral and fish prints, frills, ruffles, polka dots, everything really. More is more. The girls wore crowns that flashed and platform sandals and heels lit up with each step. Techno fashun. D&G slogan tshirts and matching baby pink ensembles with team numbers on the back. Official merch. Andiamo team Dolce and Gabbana.
