EMS Specialty Certifications
Specialty certifications give EMS healthcare professionals specialized knowledge, skills, and experience to deliver quality, optimal health outcomes to patients. Board certifications in EMS specialties acknowledge a higher level of expertise in that area for those who hold the certification. Although on-the-job training is a great way to gain the skills and knowledge needed to treat various medical issues you will face in the field, a minimum bar must be set to ensure the highest level of competence when granting a certification in an EMS specialty.
In EMS, there are dozens of certifications that are available to the industry. EMS certifications are broken down into two categories: assessment-based certifications and professional certifications. Assessment-based certifications are awarded after curriculum completion followed by a successful passing grade on a content assessment exam. A professional certification validates an individual's competence and knowledge through the established affirmation system.
Throughout the healthcare field, there are many agencies whose sole purpose is to validate competency when it comes to professional certification. The agencies clearly define the eligibility criteria to obtain the certification. They also set clear definitions of recertification processes for continued competency.
There are currently two major certifying entities in the world of EMS. The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians handles initial certification of EMS professionals. It is comprised of a board of EMS professionals from across the country. Each state defines the eligibility to take the examination. The examinations are developed by committees that include SMEs, state officials, and physicians who are involved in emergency medical services.
The second agency, the BCCTPC, began in 2000 and has a focus on the need for certified flight paramedics. The board is comprised of providers, physicians, and representatives from other agencies that share the same vision from across the country. They offer Certified Flight Paramedic exams, Certified Critical Care Paramedic exams, and Certified Tactical Paramedic exams. Both the NREMT and BCCTPC have set standards for recertification.
Different Types of Certifications in EMSSpecialty certifications for health care providers in EMS can include the following areas of expertise:
- Community Para medicine
- Critical Care Transportation
- Occupational Health
- Specialties in Pediatrics
- Public Health
- Specialty Care Transport
- Tactical
- Wilderness
- Wildland Fire

Basic Training
M.A.D. Trap" is the 20th episode of Inspector Gadget.
Claw explains to M.A.D. Cat that Gadget always appears at the scene of crime, which he says is really quite simple. He says he'll lead Gadget to his lair himself this time and that the crime is Gadget's elimination.
There has been so little crime in Metro City lately that Chief Quimby has temporarily closed down the police department. Bored and depressed, he sits in the park, feeding the birds. Gadget tracks him down, looking for an assignment. Quimby tells Gadget that a cheese store was just robbed downtown and Gadget huffs, "A cheese store?! But I'm the world's greatest inspector!". Reluctantly, he takes the case and is soon on the trail of the Rat, a 2-bit criminal in a black leather jacket Claw has hired. The rodent-like crook continues his crime spree by stealing candy from a baby, burglarizing a toy store, and robbing an appliance store. Gadget collects the cards (all bearing the M.A.D. logo) the thief leaves behind and he sets out to crack the case. Penny is suspicious, wondering why Claw would be involved in such petty burglaries. Plotting the crimes' locations on a map, she sees that, once connected with lines, they spell out, "MAD." Unaware that it's a trap, she has Brain lure her uncle to a sheet metal factory ― the scene of the last crime.
- This is the first of four episodes where Dr. Claw is voiced by Don Francks.
- This is one of the very few times where Gadget is actually competent and useful. He uses his gadgets and skills to solve the case, escape the sheet metal factory and rescue Penny all by himself.
- Ironically, in the 2015 series, Claw does commit petty crimes.

For investors at least, that's misleading. For a long time the market classified Gowings in much the same way but, after spinning off the retail division late last year (leaving it with just 35%), management hopes the company will be re-rated as an investment stock.
That means it should trade more closely to its net tangible asset backing (NTA). Gowings' stock is now priced at an 18% discount to NTA so, initially...

Kim and Kuznetsova come out fighting.
World No.3 Kim Clijsters began her 2011 season with a bang on Sunday afternoon, rolling past young Romanian Alexandra Dulgheru in the first round of the Medibank International Sydney, 6-1 6-2.
Clijsters, the No.3 seed at the Premier event, won the first 11 points and the first five games of the match and didn't look back, advancing in just 62 minutes.
Sydney has been a successful venue for Clijsters, who has won this prestigious title twice before, in 2003 (defeating Lindsay Davenport in the final) and 2007 (beating Jelena Jankovic). With her win Sunday she improved to 13-2 lifetime here, those two losses both coming to Martina Hingis (in 2001 and 2002).
In the second round, Clijsters will play either Nadia Petrova or a qualifier. It could be a chance at revenge for Clijsters: at last year's Australian Open, Petrova dealt Clijsters the worst loss of her professional career.
Clijsters has a chance of moving to No.2 in the world this week, if she wins the title and Vera Zvonareva loses before the quarterfinals. Zvonareva has a first round bye and will play Flavia Pennetta or a qualifier in the second round.
In the only other main draw match, Svetlana Kuznetsova never lost her serve and eased past Jelena Dokic in 67 minutes, 6-2 6-2. The two hadn't played in seven and a half years; Kuznetsova is now 2-1 lifetime against Dokic.
"I'm pretty happy with my performance. I worked a lot on my game and my fitness during the off-season and feel good," Kuznetsova said. "I want to get as many matches as I can. It's going to be tougher from the start of tournaments because of my ranking, but if I continue like today hopefully I can do well."
Also on Sunday, Ekaterina Makarova, Barbora Zahlavova Strycova, Bojana Jovanovski, Sandra Zahlavova, Lucie Hradecka and Virginie Razzano all secured berths in the main draw with wins in qualifying.

Are you being called to serve the Parish and feel you just don't have the time or a talent to share? I once thought that way myself. Ushering may be the ministry for you. It's a great way to serve the SJN community and meet more parishioners. The role of an ushers is to greet our fellow parishioners with a warm hello, help them find seating if needed, assist in the offertory collections, and send them off with a bulletin and smile. This is a ministry for both men and women. If you are over 16 years old, you would be a welcome addition.
There is no better way to show your love of God than to serve others!

So tomorrow is Father's Day. Probably the biggest single difference between myself and my drinking companions on this blog is that I have two children and they have none. I don't know if they wanted kids and it just never happened, or they never really wanted them. For me I always wanted a boy and a girl and have been lucky enough in that endeavor. Kids are not easy for sure. I always say that with kids you will reach the highest highs of your life and the lowest lows. There are days I want to strangle both of mine, no doubt. But I would certainly have it no other way. And for the hard times I have beer.
Happy Father's Day to all of our readers.

If you didn't read my Wednesday column about Matthew McDonnell, he is a 6½-year-old boy from South Abington Twp. fighting a rare cancer for the fourth time.
From 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday at South Abington Park, he will offer "Matthew's Miraculous Hot Cocoa Stand." All proceeds will go to children's cancer research.
Over 20-plus years in this business, I don't remember meeting a soul as inspiring as this kid. I don't like hot cocoa, but I love Matthew McDonnell. Please join me on Saturday to share a mug of stubborn cheer with him and his inspiring parents, Linda and Patrick McDonnell.
If Matthew doesn't run out of hot cocoa on Saturday, we should all swallow hard.

I have to say this is my favorite type of vacation. Since I am in hotels over one hundred nights a year, when I go on vacation, I like to unpack once but keep moving. And that is exactly what a cruise ship does. Here a few pointers I'd like to give you fellow travelers who need a "cruises for seniors" guide.
My brothers and I try to take at least one cruise a year (although lately, I have done some for my job, too). Living in Texas in the winter we have been able to go on cruises pretty reasonably since we don't have to fly and can book last minute. There are some great deals to be had if you book in the last 45-60 days. And we have learned a lot along the way.
To me, an inside cabin is the least desirable. Some people say you don't spend that much time in your room, which is true. But I hate the closed in feeling in an inside cabin. A balcony, of course, is great but for the price, a room with a picture window is fine. You get a good view and don't have that closed in feeling. I have never done a porthole but I suppose it would be better than an inside cabin.
I have done a lot of research on the internet and there are many good sites but my two "musts" are booking last minute on "VacationsToGo.com" for great deals and don't forget to check "CruiseCritic.com." There is invaluable information on that site about ports you will be visiting, as well as cheaper vendors but safe things you can do to avoid those expensive shore excursions.
One thing we have learned, especially on Caribbean cruises, is to skip the city tours and go by taxi. If you use the taxis at the terminal they have to have a special license to be able to come into the terminal area and therefore are very safe. They may negotiate a fare but when you get in the terminal, go to the information booth and ask what a "city tour" will run. If you have read your ship bulletin and checked Cruise Critic you should know ahead of time, the sites you want to visit. Then go talk to the driver. Never get in the taxi until you have negotiated your fare. And, the taxis have the same rate for 1-4 people. So… we find another couple on shipboard who wants to share a taxi with us. That way we split the cost and & there is always safety in numbers.
On our last cruise, we stopped at five ports… Every city tour ran $60-65 on the ship. In a taxi, it was $40 which ended up costing us $10 each (for 4 of us) plus a small tip. At the end of the cruise, we had spent $65 each on all five city tours total.
Another time in South America, we went to see the penguins in a national park in the region. The ship wanted $130 each. We went with another couple (she spoke fluent Spanish which was very helpful) and we paid $25 each plus a $5 tip each for a total of $30! The cost to get into the National Park was extra but we spent less than $50. But, I can't stress enough how important it is to do your homework. You don't want your vacation ruined because you didn't do your homework.
And if the shore excursion is more than an hour away from the ship, think about spending the money on the ship shore excursion. If you take a taxi and you are out in the country somewhere and it breaks down, you may not be able to get back to the ship on time. Ar the very least ask the taxi driver if he is carrying a spare. On our penguin adventure, we felt pretty secure since there were so many taxis and buses running up and down that highway. Plus we went early in the morning so we had wiggle room getting back to the ship. It can get very expensive having to take a flight to the next port of call to catch the ship you missed by not being back on time.

David Jones launched their efforts at shoppable video. - their first effort as far as I know.
I liked that they tried. I hope they make enough money to keep innovating. It is not really their fault that the technology is not quite up there to make it compelling and seamless for the consumer.
(Only about 2000 views at time of writing, hope this blog helps that along.)
I believe video shopping like this will be big - when the tech works for the consumer.
One thing I did not really 'get' was how they curated the products to go with possible click. E.g. when you clicked on a word or a certain image you had a different landing page but the collections appeared pretty random - but then I am not the target market so I might miss some of the subtleties.
Barney also had a go at shoppable video.
The embed code does not work on my site, so CLICK HERE to compare their efforts. In some respects it is ahead of the DJs effort. but I like that DJs did not go the proprietary route (that causes embed problems like the above) and they adopted YouTube as a more open platform.
ALSO - not sure if it my browser or because the campaign is over, but I came up with errors and I think both were too long to really work for going viral..
Fish where the fish are I say...

Janelle and I love hiking with others. No, we're not sick of each other!
When our friends and family come with us to support this journey, the hike becomes richer and more expressive. Plus, it's sort of a way for Janelle to show off. Tough Cookie has come so far in just a few months; physically, sure. But when her head is in a hike, when she's in the moment and wishes to be nowhere but in the mountains, she can be unstoppable.
That was the case Saturday as our friends Peter and Elizabeth (trail names Alvin the Swede and Inchworm) join us for a wet and wild hike up Mt. Tremont, a little known summit south of Crawford Notch near the Sawyer Ponds.
Tough Cookie is in high form, bouncing up the trail, engaged, funny. In quieter moments now, as she kneels down to study a deep purple fungus or lets the wind at a summit tear through her already wild hair, I can see shadows of the outdoors woman she might become; perhaps a hut croo member, an environmentalist, a thru-hiker? Those moments are still fleeting as she's young and it's unclear what the real impact of these adventures will be.
Perhaps her high mood is just that of a hiker, still a child, enjoying the company of friends, being the center of attention, showing us that she knows the names of clouds or can identify a mushroom or two.
Either way, time goes by as it always does in the mountains and together we all laugh and slip in the mud and tell stories and the day rolls on.
Mt. Tremont (9/8/12)
Height: 3,371 feet
Location: South of Crawford Notch, I-93 to Exit 35 to Route 3 north to Route 302 through Crawford Notch.
Our trailhead: Mount Tremont Trail up and back.
Distance: 5.6 miles round trip.

Was barely eight when first I found,
This hidden hollow for my sticks and stones,
and hunted sea glass; from the world around,
I never tired, in this blissful zone.
One day, flamboyant, signaling sound disclosed,
Irritated first, I watched, transformed anew,
The sunny, sheltered space, now changed, transposed
by vine-like, jumbled stems, a nest or two!
I saw my treasures still 'neath stained green-blue
of mossy beds and tangled, twisted roots,
my point; save chirping birds from tumbling through,
I protecting, guarding, in cahoots.
My life-long appetite for birding shared (at last)
with grandsons, knighted sentries: Torch now passed.
This was written in response to the Wordle below. However, I was inspired by the exquisite joy I feel as a grandmother, when sharing the simple memories of my childhood (like a secret treasure hole in an old tree trunk) with them and see again, through their eyes,once the wonder of discovery and adventure that I once felt. I pass my loving torch to them each day, through small moments such as these.

After you have chosen the resume format, the next stage is to find out the
Personal Information in a Marketing Head Resume
Needless to say, first information on a resume is personal information.
We have observed many candidates showcase all kinds of details in this section.
candidates belonging to junior, mid and senior level management also write too much information in this section.
Apparently, they include details like spouse' name, passport availability, full address including the house number and street name, et cetera.
Albeit there is no explicit rule for this.
But according to research, minimalistic approach is suitable specifically in this section.
According to the recent trends in resume industry, 3 rules in the personal details section of a sales and marketing head resume is enough:-
- Do not write full address. Just the city and country is enough.
- Do not label the section as 'personal details'. It is redundant.
- Write your full name, mobile number, email id and skype id. That's it.
Your full name and contact details are the only things which are absolutely important with minimal space consumption.
Given the fact that a marketing head resume would have heavy content to enter, it is important to keep in mind the space constraint.
Refer the image below for the personal details section in a Marketing Head Resume:
Career Objective & Career Summary in a Marketing Head Resume
Out of 100 resumes we receive, 99 candidates tend to write a career objective in the resume.
Your resume is the summary of what you have pursued and what you have accomplished.
What is your career objective will be taken up once you reach the interview table?
Before that, everything is about what you can deliver.
Let us take an example:
Career Summary (Marketing Head)
Experienced & result oriented Marketing Leader with the ability to lead marketing teams and develop, execute & improve original marketing campaigns. Over a career of 21+ years, have worked with multiple organizations. Proficient at key brand building through market research, insight development, and consumer campaigns. Adept at creating resonating stories for consumers, ensuring double digit user growth. A devoted leader with the ability to motivate teams to deliver at peak performance.
Career Objective(Entry Level Marketing Professional)
Dynamic Management Professional armed with a practical approach for creative problem-solving & possessing a track record of liaising with key stakeholders to formulate & execute marketing strategies. Adept at deploying analytical tools to boost brand positioning & product marketing. A goal-seeking professional with an expertise in analyzing market trends to bolster customer acquisition & deliver compelling business value to clients.
Out of these 2, no candidate can be called wrong or right.
But we are talking about a recruiter's perspective.
The recruiter is looking for a Marketing Head who can deliver what is there in the company's job description.
So an aspiring Marketing professional who writes a career summary in alignment with the job description shall win the game.
The company expects that if you are looking forward to utilizing your strengths as a creative workplace, then this obviousness shall not be stated.
Indeed what should be stated is what you have delivered in the past.
That way it will be easy for the recruiter to make a decision on the resume.
As we always say, our job is to make recruiter's work easy and do not leave him wondering what exactly the candidate can deliver.
We suggest that rather than writing a complete paragraph on your career objective, you could simply write your targeted designation just above the career summary.
This designation showcases a bit of what you are doing currently and what you are targeting in the future.
These 3 rules shall help you with the career summary section:-
What: Career objectives are for freshers who are kick-starting their careers. For a senior position, like marketing head, write a career summary in not more than 3-4 lines.
How: Write the career summary in alignment with the job description of your dream job. This shall immediately interest the recruiter in selecting your resume.
Where: Give job title and career summary section just after the personal information section. This is because a quick snapshot will help the recruiter understand your career path without needing to scan the entire resume.
Let us see some examples of job title + career summary in a sales and marketing head resume:-
Key Skills in a Marketing Head Resume
Skills essentially mean the ability to do something well.
The definition itself is enough to explain the importance of this section in a marketing head's resume.
A candidate aspiring to become marketing head must possess certain skills to accomplish the tasks in the next job.
Recruiters are targeting certain skills in a marketing head's resume.
If you are able to showcase these skills, you would land your dream interview.
3 important rules shall be kept in mind while writing your key skills section:
What: Go easy on soft skills like communication and presentation. Soft skills are assumed to be there and the recruiter is looking for a more job-relevant skill like strategy formulation, etc. Soft skills are judged more at the time of face to face interview. But before you go there, they will judge you strictly on the job-relevant skills and technical skills.
How: Write small phrases like "Strategic Planning & Execution". This holds true because it would be easy for the recruiter to read small phrases rather than long sentences. Also, small phrases will help you clear the machine recruiter that is, ATS (More on this below).
Where: Keep the section just below career summary. This positioning becomes important because a recruiter barely has 5-7 seconds and the recruiter do not want to scan through an entire resume to find out your skillset. Correct positioning is as important as correct skills relevant to the marketing industry.
Let us see some examples of key skills in a marketing head resume:
Get ready to land some fantastic interviews using the skills mentioned above. All these skills are relevant for a Marketing Head job profile.
Rest, the skills shall be modified according to the job description mentioned.
Work Experience in a Marketing Head Resume
Work experience, as they say, is the strongest section in the entire resume because this is what defines you. This is what would be discussed once you reach the interview table.
More importantly, this section will be scanned for important highlights to help recruiter make the decision.
Work-experience section includes all the information of the tasks performed in each profile along with important accomplishments.
Marketing head resume would showcase no less than 15+ years of experience.
Given the fact that, it is increasingly important to keep in mind 2 pages as the length of the resume, the question is how to incorporate so much of information.
Let us understand by reviewing a resume in that case:-
Our aspiring marketing head George Costanza has worked in 2 companies, 1 for 3 years and 1 for 8 years still continuing.
11 years of experience has to be incorporated in less than a page. Given the fact that rest 1 page shall be dedicated to other sections.
Let us see how:-
Referring to the image above, you will notice that we have used 1 liners to describe the work experience. That is to say, that any marketing head aspiring candidate should summarize the tasks performed in not more than 1 line each.
Sometimes 2 tasks shall be clubbed in 1 line to take care of the space constraint.
The important thing to remember is that each line should make complete sense in itself. That is to say, that each line should bring a cause-effect relationship.
Taking an example of a digital marketing manager:-
Referring to the image, you will see that our digital marketing manager has mentioned most of the points describing a cause-effect relationship.
This helps the recruiter in making a lot of sense as you clarity in what you did and what outcome was achieved.
Then another important rule of thumb while constructing this section is that put the related points in a bucket(sub-heading).
For example, in the image above, the recruiter would immediately scan the resume for say Search Engine Optimization. Because this is the skill that the recruiter necessarily wants in the candidate.
If the candidate makes buckets for different points, this makes recruiter's job very easy as the subheadings/buckets are nothing but key skills which recruiter is looking for.
So if the recruiter has mentioned in the job description that the candidate must have the experience of SEO, Content Marketing, and Social Media Marketing then the above candidate will surely receive the interview call.
While you are making bucketing and constructing 1 liners out of the tasks you are performing each day in office, it is important to keep highlighting important points.
Given the fact that recruiter hardly has any time to read all the one-liners you have written, highlighting important words/figures will increase readability.
For example:
Work- experience with no bolding:-
Work- experience with enough bolding:-\
Which work-experience would you be interested in reading if you have just say 5 seconds?
The answer is clear, highlighted words give more accurate information and register more in the human mind.
That is why we learned in school, the value of highlighting which was done using underlines.
Another valuable stuff here which will make your resume stand out of the lot would be expressing information in numbers, quantities, and figures.
Numbers and numerals are registered in our memory faster and are able to make a much better impression on us.
Same hold for a marketing head who is dealing with numbers all the time.
The importance of numbers cannot be underestimated in case of a marketing head whose performance is often measured with numbers unlike in the field of teaching, history, etc.
Let us look at the same example of a digital marketing head wherein we have tried removing all numeral information:-
Do you see a difference in the way it comes across?
It now looks plain theory of a fiction novel without any impression to be made in terms of what real work is done by the candidate.
So the game is to include as much quantifiable information as possible to make the best impression on the recruiter.
Also, verbs play an extremely important role in expressing your work experience.
Look at this:-
"Handling a digital marketing team of 10 associates to create campaigns worth half a million dollar and manage SEO"
and look at this:-
"Spearheading a digital marketing team of 10 associates to create campaigns worth half a million dollar and manage SEO"
This is how it works.
A power verb gets it's name because of the power it lends to an information.
It drives more value out of the facts and present the data to the recruiters in a trail of .
For example,
✔ "Spearheading" is definitely a power verb
✘ "Handling" comes across as very casual vocabulary
✔ "Managed"
✘ "Responsible for"
✔ "Oversaw"
✘ "Conducted"
✔ "Bolstered"
✘ "Increased"
✔ "Identified"
✘ "Figured"
Usage of power verbs indicates how important you take your resume. It is not merely a casual document for you. Rather, it something that you value.
Start each point with a power verb and make a powerful impression on the recruiter.
Also, what plays a huge role in giving a lot of clarity in a work experience is the correct alignment of job profile, dates, and location to make it appear more be user-friendly and readable.
We would suggest you keep the job profile aligned to the left just under the company name and keep dates and city aligned to the right-hand side.
Such a display of information will surely be impressive to the recruiter.
And as mentioned in the example above, it is very important again to mention a one-liner description of the company you have worked in.
This again makes it for the recruiter to make a decision which is our end goal.
Now, last but not the least important point is that take care of tenses.
If you are in presently working in the company, start with verbs like "leading, managing, over-seeing, spearheading... and so on.."
Of course, if there is an accomplishment which has already happened in the current work experience, then it is always safe and better to club it in a separate heading like "Key Achievements".
Achievements section will also give a quick snapshot of what you achieved which is of great value from the perspective of the hiring manager.
When you are describing a previous job, use past tense verbs like "Led, Managed, Over-saw, Spearheaded... and so on.."
Snapshot on how to impress the recruiter with your marketing work-experience:-
- Use quantifiable information(ratios, percentages, and numbers) over words which describing services delivered.
- Bucket similar points in a sub-heading
- Bold the important information and numbers to make a quick impression
- Use present tense to convey information in the present work experience
- Start all the duties performed with a power verb and not a casual verb
- Use present tense for current work-experience and past-tense for all the previous jobs
- Bucket the accomplishments in each job as a separate sub-heading in each section as 'Key Achievements'
Education in a Marketing Head Resume
Marketing Head position normally requires a candidate to have acquired a masters degree apart from other certifications.
The best-observed trend which works here is that mention the education in the reverse chronological order.
Put the Masters in Business Administration degree first then followed by Bachelors degree.
As mentioned in the work-experience section, keep the college name and course name aligned to the left and keep the dates and location aligned to the right.
Like in this example:-
Referring to the image above, please note that it is important to mention both the date of enrollment and graduation in MM/YY format.
Again, each of the activity we do in resume making is to make it easy for the recruiter.
We have compared many resumes and used different formats. However, this particular alignment of dates comes across as the most reader-friendly and comprehensible.
Additionally, since your work experience is long, no recruiter is interested in looking at what subjects and projects you managed at college time. This section should not give too much information.
In fact, if there are some achievements which are relevant to your current profile, you can take it up as a separate section in the resume and club it there.
Let us look at the quick 3 rules for the education section:-
- What: Mention the degrees in reverse chronological order. In this section, you can just mention at max the CGPA achieved. ANy other information shall not be mentioned.
- How: Use dates and location aligned to the right while university/college name and course name aligned to the left.
Certifications & Training in a Marketing Head Resume
Certifications hold a lot of value at this junction of career.
As a marketing head, you are climbing the corporate ladder and taking up bigger roles and it is important for you to take an added advantage of the certifications pursued.
Clubbing certifications in the education section do not make sense as we have observed in many resumes we see every day.
This section holds so much of importance that it makes sense to showcase it separately.
While certifications give you added skills and gained knowledge, many times you undertake training sessions as well.
But not every training gives you a certificate.
This does not diminish the role of training in your career but it also does not mean that you put training as a certificate.
A better bet is to name the section as Training & Certifications and mention all your training and certifications in this section.
Again, it is of paramount importance to mention the month and year when you pursued the same.
Since all the certifications are taken up in a week or say few months, it is okay to just mention the month and year when you received the certification.
For example: let us look at this image below:-
As seen in the image above, the certifications and training programs are listed in the reverse chronological order.
A recruiter is interested in knowing your latest certification first and the previous certifications can be mentioned following that.
Latest certification is more valid as technologies and theories keep changing.
Specifically, the field of digital marketing is so dynamic that only the recent certifications will impress the recruiter.
Highlight the important information like name of the certification.
use separator for placement of date and certification name.
Make sure to use caps lock in each word mentioned in the section.
It is important to describe the certifying authority in this section as mentioned in the image above.
By giving the name of the certifying authority, you give a lot of weight to the otherwise generic certification.
Awards & Achievements in a Marketing Head Resume
This section in a marketing head resume shall showcase the awards which are not associated with any work experience.
There can be multiple ways out here.
Either you can mention the achievements of a particular job in that job section.
Or if you want to highlight the achievements in a separate section, this section can be constructed which would also include any awards received during college years
This section in a way showcases the extra-curricular achievements as well.
But the nomenclature can be different as no recruiter is interested in knowing your extra-curricular after so many years of work experience.
Just like the certifications section, this section shall also mention the recent awards first followed by previous awards.
Year of receiving the award shall suffice in this section.
If you mention the information like on what parameters the award was given and amongst how many nominees you were awarded, then it will have a better impact on the recruiter.
In all the case, we are interested in making a better impact on the recruiter and give more clarity for decision making to be easy and quick.
Compare these 2 examples:
Generic awards section:
Awards highlighting the nominations and parameters:
If you compare the latter would give more impact on the reader's mind.
3 tips while writing the awards section:-
- What: Mention the parameters on the basis f which you received the awards and nominations out of which you won the award.
- How: Mention the year of receiving the award separating it by a separator for clarity and readability
- Where: Put this section either below the Education section to make maximum impact.
ATS- The Machine Recruiter
ATS essentially is automatic tracking system which is a machine recruiter which many companies have deployed to do the first round elemintaion of resumes.
The moment you apply on job site, sometimes you get a rejection email within a few minutes.
Yes, it is most of the times ATS.
Now since you are at the mercy of ATS, it is important to understand the criteria on which an ATS selects or rejects you.
ATS is a proxy to human recruiter which is deployed to make work easy for the human recruiter.
There are 3 criteria
- Hiring manager of the companies stuffs the ATS algorithm with certain keywords matching with the job description. Idea is to eliminate the resumes which are not using the same words/figures/jargons as used in the job description.
Example: if the job description says that the candidate should be good in "Search Engine Optimization" then your key skills section shall mention the proper full form of the skill and not just "SEO".
On the safer side, it is good to mention both. that is put SEO in the bracket after mentioning the complete
- Research as much as possible for the current marketing team in the current organization. Probably researching them on linked in or other social media sites make sense.
The whole idea is to understand what kind of tasks are being performed by the team, what have they mentioned in their profiles.
You can take a hint of keywords from their profiles and put it on your resume. This would surely do a lot more than just matching the key skills with the job description.
- You might be great at giving presentations and have excellent interpersonal skills.
But the ATS is designed to look at those skills which are very relevant to the job profile. ATS is not stuffed with soft skills like a team player.
Rather it would search skills like 'Brand Management', 'Digital Marketing', 'Social media Marketing', etc.
- Look for tools which actually calculates an ATS score by comparing your resume and the corresponding job description.
These tools help you understand the keywords which shall be put in to improve the resume's chances of clearing the ATS test.
One of such tools which we often use in calculating ATS score for our clients is JOBSCAN.
Key Takeaways
- Use reverse chronological order to construct the marketing head resume
- The extra-curricular section is redundant in the marketing head resume. Rather use any such achievements in the section named Awards & Achievements.
- Career Summary section should be made in place of career objective and it should be aligned with your work history and job description.
- Use bulleting, bolding, bucketing, power verbs and correct alignment in the professional experience section.
- Key skills are important for the quick run through of your abilities and to clear the ATS test.
- Do your research for ATS clearance.
- Certifications & Training section should be made separately. It should mention the certifying authority and date of certification in MM/YY format.

Writings: Joshua 19:1-20:9
New Testament: Revelation 12:1-17 & John 7:25-53
The following translation is from The Scriptures | ISR98
Genesis 41:1-44:17
41| 1 And it came to be, at the end of two years' time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river,
2 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds,
3 then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
4 And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good,
6 and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them.
7 And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream.
8 And it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my crimes this day.
10 "When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,
11 each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
12 "And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
13 "And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him."
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to interpret it."
16 And Yosĕph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me, let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace."
17 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, "See, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river
18 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds,
19 then saw seven other cows coming up after them, poor and very ugly and lean of flesh, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Mitsrayim.
20 "And the lean of flesh and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows.
21 "Yet when they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were as ugly as at the beginning. Then I awoke.
22 "Also, I looked in my dream and saw seven heads coming up on one stalk, complete and good,
23 then saw seven heads, withered, lean, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them.
24 "And the lean heads swallowed the seven good heads. And I spoke to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."
25 And Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:
26 "The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream.
27 "And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food.
28 "This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
29 "See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim,
30 but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land,
31 and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe.
32 "And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it.
33 "And now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim.
34 "Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty.
35 "And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 "And the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food."
37 And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?"
39 Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, "Since Elohim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
40 "Be over my house, you yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss – only in the throne I am greater than you."
41 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim."
42 And Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it on Yosĕph's hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried out before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim.
44 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, "I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the land of Mitsrayim."
45 And Pharaoh called Yosĕph's name Zaphnath-Pa'nĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. And Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim.
46 Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
47 And in the seven years of plenty the ground brought forth generously.
48 And he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.
49 Thus Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting, for it was without number.
50 And to Yosĕph were born two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
51 And Yosĕph called the name of the first-born Menashsheh, "For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house."
52 And the name of the second he called Ephrayim, "For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction."
53 And the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end,
54 and the seven years of scarcity of food began to come, as Yosĕph had said. And the scarcity of food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim there was bread.
55 But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered, and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrites, "Go to Yosĕph, do whatever he says to you."
56 And the scarcity of food was over all the face of the earth, and Yosĕph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of food was severe in the land of Mitsrayim.
57 And all the earth came to Yosĕph in Mitsrayim to buy grain, because the scarcity of food was severe in all the earth.
42| 1 And when Ya'aqoḇ saw that there was grain in Mitsrayim, Ya'aqoḇ said to his sons, "Why do you look at each other?"
2 And he said, "See, I have heard that there is grain in Mitsrayim. Go down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die."
3 And Yosĕph's ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim.
4 But Ya'aqoḇ did not send Yosĕph's brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said, "Lest some harm come to him."
5 And the sons of Yisra'ĕl went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kena'an.
6 And Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.
7 And Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognised them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Kena'an to buy food."
8 So Yosĕph recognised his brothers, but they did not recognise him.
9 And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!"
10 And they said to him, "No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food.
11 "We are all one man's sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies."
12 But he said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land."
13 And they said, "Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kena'an. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is
no more."
14 And Yosĕph said to them, "It is as I spoke to you, saying, 'You are spies!'
15 "By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 "Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!"
17 And he put them all together in prison for three days.
18 Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, "Do this and live, for I fear Elohim:
19 "If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses.
20 "And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed, and you do not die." And so they did.
21 And they said to each other, "Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us."
22 And Re'uḇĕn answered them, saying, "Did I not speak to you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' and you would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of us."
23 And they did not know that Yosĕph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter.
24 And he turned himself away from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shim'on from them and bound him before their eyes.
25 And Yosĕph commanded and they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man's silver to his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them.
26 So they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there.
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack!
28 And he said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!" And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, "What is this that Elohim has done to us?"
29 So they came to Ya'aqoḇ their father in the land of Kena'an and reported to him all that befell them, saying,
30 "The man, the master of the land, spoke to us harshly, and took us for spies of the land.
31 "But we said to him, 'We are trustworthy, we are not spies.
32 'We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Kena'an.'
33 "And the man, the master of the land, said to us, 'By this I know that you are trustworthy: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for the scarcity of food of your households, and go.
34 'And bring your youngest brother to me, then I know that you are not spies, but that you are trustworthy – I give your brother to you, and you move about in the land.' "
35 And it came to be as they emptied their sacks, that look, the bundle of each man's silver was in his sack! And when they and their father saw the bundles of silver, they were afraid.
36 And Ya'aqoḇ their father said to them, "You have bereaved me – Yosĕph is no more, and Shim'on is no more, and you would take Binyamin! All this is against me."
37 So Re'uḇĕn spoke to his father, saying, "Take the lives of my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I myself bring him back to you."
38 But he said, "My son is not going down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should come to him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my grey hair with sorrow to the grave."
43| 1 But the scarcity of food was severe in the land.
2 And it came to be, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Mitsrayim, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food."
3 But Yehuḏah spoke to him, saying, "The man vehemently warned us, saying, 'You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.' "
4 "If you let our brother go with us, we go down and buy you food.
5 "But if you do not let him go, we do not go down, because the man said to us, 'You do not see my face unless your brother is with you.' "
6 And Yisra'ĕl said, "Why did you do evil to me to inform the man that you still had another brother?"
7 And they said, "The man kept asking about us and our relatives, saying, 'Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' And we informed him according to these words. How could we know that he would say, 'Bring your brother down'?"
8 And Yehuḏah said to Yisra'ĕl his father, "Send the boy with me, and let us arise and go, and live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
9 "I myself shall stand guaranty for him – from my hand you are to require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
10 "For if we had not delayed, truly by now we could have returned this second time."
11 And their father Yisra'ĕl said to them, "If so, then do this: Take some of the best fruit of the land in your vessels and bring a present down for the man, a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds.
12 "And take double silver in your hand, and take back in your hand the silver that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. It could have been a mistake.
13 "And take your brother, and arise, go back to the man.
14 "And Ěl Shaddai give to you compassion before the man, so that he shall release your other brother and Binyamin. And I, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved!"
15 And the men took that present and Binyamin, and they took double the amount of silver in their hand, and arose and went down to Mitsrayim, and stood before Yosĕph.
16 And Yosĕph saw Binyamin with them, and said to the one over his house, "Bring the men home, and make a great slaughter, and prepare, for these men are to eat with me at noon."
17 And the man did as Yosĕph said, and the man brought the men into Yosĕph's house.
18 And the men were afraid because they were brought into Yosĕph's house. And they said, "It is because of the silver, which was put back into our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, to throw himself upon us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves, our donkeys too."
19 So they came near to the man over the house of Yosĕph, and spoke to him at the door of the house,
20 and said, "O my master, we indeed came down the first time to buy food,
21 but it came to be, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks and saw each man's silver in the mouth of his sack, our silver in its weight. And we have brought it back in our hand.
22 "And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks."
23 But he said, "Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!" And he brought Shim'on out to them.
24 And the man brought the men into Yosĕph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys fodder.
25 And they made the present ready for Yosĕph's coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there.
26 And when Yosĕph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
27 And he asked them about their welfare, and said, "Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"
28 And they said, "Your servant our father is in good health, he is still alive." And they bowed their heads down and did obeisance.
29 And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Binyamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "Elohim show favour to you, my son."
30 And Yosĕph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and wept there.
31 Then he washed his face and came out, and controlled himself, and said, "Serve the food."
32 And they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Heḇrews, for that is an abomination to the Mitsrites.
33 And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other in astonishment.
34 And he took portions to them from before him, but Binyamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.
44| 1 And he commanded the one over his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as they are able to bear, and put each man's silver in the mouth of his sack.
2 "And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and the silver for his grain." And he did according to the word of Yosĕph which he spoke.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
4 And when they had gone out of the city, not having gone far, Yosĕph said to the one over his house, "Rise up, follow the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 'Is this not the one from which my master drinks, and with which he indeed divines? You have done evil in what you have done.' "
6 So he overtook them and spoke these words to them.
7 And they said to him, "Why does my master say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do according to this word.
8 "See, we brought back to you from the land of Kena'an the silver which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then should we steal silver or gold from your master's house?
9 "With whomever of your servants it is found – he shall die and we shall become my master's slaves as well."
10 And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found becomes my slave, and you are innocent."
11 And they hurried, each man let down his sack to the ground, and each opened his sack.
12 And he searched, with the oldest first and with the youngest last, and the cup was found in Binyamin's sack.
13 And they tore their garments, and each man loaded his donkey and went back to the city.
14 And Yehuḏah and his brothers came to Yosĕph's house, and he was still there. And they fell before him on the ground.
15 And Yosĕph said to them, "What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that a man like me indeed divines?"
16 And Yehuḏah said, "What do we say to my master? What do we speak? Or how do we clear ourselves? Elohim has found out the crookedness of your servants. See, we are my master's slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found."
17 But he said, "Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose hand the cup was found, he becomes my slave. And you, go up in peace to your father."
Isaiah 15:1-16:14
15|1 The message concerning Mo'aḇ. Because in the night Ar of Mo'aḇ was laid waste, was silenced! Because in the night Qir of Mo'aḇ was laid waste, was silenced!
2 He has gone up to the house and Diḇon, to the high places to weep. Mo'aḇ is wailing over Neḇo and over Mĕyḏeḇa; on all their heads is baldness, and every beard is cut off.
3 In their streets they shall put on sackcloth; on the tops of their houses and in their streets everyone wails, weeping bitterly.
4 And Ḥeshbon and El'alĕh cry out, their voice shall be heard as far as Yahats. Therefore the armed ones of Mo'aḇ shout; his being shall tremble within him.
5 My own heart is toward Mo'aḇ; her fugitives cry unto Tso'ar, like a three-year-old heifer. For by the ascent of Luḥith they go up with weeping; for in the way of Ḥoronayim they raise a cry of destruction.
6 For the waters of Nimrim are wastes, for the green grass has withered away; the grass fails, there is no greenness.
7 Therefore the wealth, acquired and stored up, they take away to the wadi of the Willows.
8 For the cry has gone all around the borders of Mo'aḇ, its wailing to Eg̅layim and its wailing to Be'ĕr Ělim.
9 "For the waters of Dimon shall be filled with blood; for I shall bring more upon Dimon, lions upon him who escapes from Mo'aḇ, and on the remnant of the land."
16| 1 Send a lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Tsiyon.
2 And it shall be, like a wandering bird, a nest thrown out, so are the daughters of Mo'aḇ at the fords of Arnon.
3 "Bring counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow like the night in the middle of the day; hide the outcasts, do not betray him who escapes.
4 "Let My outcasts dwell with you, O Mo'aḇ; be a shelter to them from the face of the ravager. For the oppressor has met his end, destruction has ceased, those trampling down have perished from the land.
5 "And in kindness the throne shall be established. And One shall sit on it in truth, in the Tent of Dawiḏ, judging and seeking right-ruling, and speeding righteousness."
6 We have heard of the pride of Mo'aḇ – very proud – of his pride, his arrogance and his rage. His boastings are not true.
7 So Mo'aḇ wails for Mo'aḇ, everyone wails. For the raisin-cakes of Qir Ḥareseth they moan. They are utterly smitten.
8 For the fields of Ḥeshbon languish – the vine of Siḇmah. The masters of the gentiles have broken down its choice plants, which have reached to Ya'zĕr and wandered through the wilderness. Her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.
9 Therefore I bewail the vine of Siḇmah, with the weeping of Ya'zĕr. I water you with my tears, O Ḥeshbon and El'alĕh, for acclamation have fallen over your summer fruit and your harvest.
10 Gladness is taken away, and joy from the orchard; in the vineyards there is no singing, nor shouting; No treaders tread out wine in their presses; I have made their acclamation cease.
11 Therefore my inward parts sound like a lyre for Mo'aḇ, and my inner being for Qir Ḥeres.
12 And it shall be, when it is seen that Mo'aḇ has wearied herself on the high place, that she shall come to her set-apart place to pray, but not be able.
13 This is the word which יהוה has spoken concerning Mo'aḇ since that time.
14 But now יהוה has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the esteem of Mo'aḇ is to be despised with all its great throng, and the remnant be few, small and weak."
Joshua 19:1-20:9
19|1 And the second lot came out for Shim'on, for the tribe of the children of Shim'on for their clans. And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Yehuḏah.
2 And they had in their inheritance Be'ĕrsheḇa, or Sheḇa, and Molaḏah,
3 and Ḥatsar Shu'al, and Balah, and Etsem,
4 and Eltolaḏ, and Bethul, and Ḥormah,
5 and Tsiqlag̅, and Bĕyth Markaḇoth, and Ḥatsar Susah,
6 and Bĕyth Leḇa'oth, and Sharuḥen – thirteen cities and their villages.
7 Ayin, Rimmon, and Ether, and Ashan – four cities and their villages;
8 and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Ba'alath Be'ĕr, Ramath Neg̅eḇ. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Shim'on for their clans.
9 The inheritance of the children of Shim'on was out of the portion of the children of Yehuḏah, for the portion of the children of Yehuḏah was too much for them. So the children of Shim'on had their inheritance within their inheritance.
10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zeḇulun for their clans, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sariḏ.
11 And their border went toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth, and reached to the wadi that faced Yoqne'am,
12 and turned back from Sariḏ eastward toward the sunrise, to the border of Kisloth Taḇor, and went out toward Daḇerath, and went up to Yaphiya.
13 And from there it passed over eastward, to the east of Gath Ḥĕpher, toward Eth Qatsin, and went out to Rimmon, which borders on Nĕ'ah.
14 And the border went around it on the north side of Ḥannathon, and it ended in the Valley of Yiphthaḥ Ěl;
15 also Qattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Yiḏalah, and Bĕyth Leḥem – twelve cities with their villages.
16 This was the inheritance of the children of Zeḇulun for their clans, these cities with their villages.
17 The fourth lot came out to Yissasḵar, for the children of Yissasḵar, for their clans.
18 And their border was toward Yizre'ĕl, and Kesulloth, and Shunĕm,
19 and Ḥapharayim, and Shiyon, and Anaḥarath,
20 and Rabbith, and Qishyon, and Eḇets,
21 and Remeth, and Ěn Gannim, and Ěn Ḥaddah, and Bĕyth Patstsĕts.
22 And the border reached to Taḇor, and Shaḥatsimah, and Bĕyth Shemesh, and their border ended at the Yardĕn – sixteen cities with their villages.
23 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Yissasḵar for their clans, the cities and their villages.
24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Ashĕr for their clans.
25 And their border was Ḥelqath, and Ḥali, and Beten, and Aḵshaph,
26 and Allammeleḵ, and Amaḏ, and Mish'al. And it reached to Mount Karmel westward, and to Brook Shiḥor Liḇnath,
27 and turned toward the sunrise, to Bĕyth Dag̅on, and reached to Zeḇulun and to the Valley of Yiphthaḥ Ěl, then northward beyond Bĕyth Ěmeq and Ne'i'ĕl, and went out to Kaḇul which was on the left,
28 and Ḥeḇron, and Reḥoḇ, and Ḥammon, and Qanah, as far as Great Tsiḏon.
29 And the border turned to Ramah and to the strong city Tsor, and the border turned to Ḥosah, and ended at the sea, from the coast to Aḵziḇ.
30 And Ummah, and Aphĕq, and Reḥoḇ were included – twenty-two cities with their villages.
31 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ashĕr for their clans, these cities with their villages.
32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali for their clans.
33 And their border was from Ḥeleph, from the terebinth tree in Tsa'anannim, and Aḏami Neqeḇ, and Yaḇne'ĕl, as far as Laqqum, and it ended at the Yardĕn.
34 And the border turned westward to Aznoth Taḇor, and went out from there toward Ḥuqqoq, and reached to Zeḇulun on the south side and Ashĕr on the west side, and ended at Yehuḏah by the Yardĕn toward the sunrise.
35 And the cities of defence were Tsiddim, Tsĕr, and Ḥammath, Raqqath, and Kinnereth,
36 and Aḏamah, and Ramah, and Ḥatsor,
37 and Qeḏesh, and Eḏre'i, and Ěn Ḥatsor,
38 and Yiron, and Mig̅dal Ěl, Ḥorĕm, and Bĕyth Anath, and Bĕyth Shemesh – nineteen cities with their villages.
39 This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali for their clans, the cities with their villages.
40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan for their clans.
41 And the border of their inheritance was Tsor'ah, and Eshta'ol, and Ir Shemesh,
42 and Sha'alabbin, and Ayalon, and Yithlah,
43 and Ělon, and Timnathah, and Eqron,
44 and Elteqĕh, and Gibbethon, and Ba'alath,
45 and Yehuḏ, and Benĕi Beraq, and Gath Rimmon,
46 and Mĕy Yarqon, and Raqqon, with the border before Yapho.
47 And the border of the children of Dan went out from them. And the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and captured it. And they smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt in it, and called it Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan for their clans, these cities with their villages.
49 And when they had ended dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Yisra'ĕl gave an inheritance to Yehoshua son of Nun in their midst.
50 According to the mouth of יהוה they gave him the city which he asked for, Timnath Seraḥ in the mountains of Ephrayim. And he built the city and dwelt in it.
51 These were the inheritances which El'azar the priest, and Yehoshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Yisra'ĕl divided as an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before יהוה, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. And they ended dividing the country.
20| 1 And יהוה spoke to Yehoshua, saying,
2 "Speak to the children of Yisra'ĕl, saying, 'Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you through Mosheh,
3 for the slayer who kills any being accidentally, unintentionally, to flee there. And they shall be your refuge from the revenger of blood.
4' And he shall flee to one of those cities, and stand at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his case in the hearing of the elders of that city. And they shall take him into the city as one of them, and give him a place, and he shall dwell among them.
5 'And when the revenger of blood pursues him, they do not give the slayer into his hand, because he smote his neighbour unintentionally, and did not hate him beforehand.
6 'And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for right-ruling, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then let the slayer return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled.' "
7 So they set apart Qeḏesh in Galil, in the mountains of Naphtali, and Sheḵem in the mountains of Ephrayim, and Qiryath Arba, that is Ḥeḇron, in the mountains of Yehuḏah.
8 And beyond the Yardĕn, by Yeriḥo eastward, they appointed Betser in the wilderness on the plain, from the tribe of Re'uḇĕn, and Ramoth in Gil'aḏ, from the tribe of Gaḏ, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Menashsheh.
9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Yisra'ĕl and for the stranger who sojourned in their midst, for anyone accidentally killing any being, to flee there, and not die by the hand of the revenger of blood until he stood before the congregation.
Revelation 12:1-17
12|1 And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to give birth.
3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and see, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads.
4 And his tail draws a third of the stars of the heaven and throws them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born.
5 And she bore a male childa who was to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught away to Elohim and to His throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa'ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought,
8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer.
9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, "Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim,a and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down.
11 "And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.
12 "Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has little time."
13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.
14 And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15 And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע Messiah.
John 7:25-53
7|25 Therefore some of them from Yerushalayim said, "Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26 "And see! He speaks boldly, and they say none at all to Him. Could it be that the rulers truly know that this is truly the Messiah?
27 "But we know where this One is from. And when the Messiah comes, no one knows where He is from."
28 יהושע therefore cried out in the Set-apart Place, teaching and saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from. And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29 "But I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."
30 So they were seeking to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 And many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, "When the Messiah comes, shall He do more signs than these which this One did?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these matters concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to seize Him.
33 Therefore יהושע said to them, "Yet a little while I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
34 "You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come."
35 The Yehuḏim, therefore, said to themselves, "Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36 "What is this word which He said, 'You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come'?"
37 And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink.
38 "As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water."a
39 And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given,a because יהושע was not yet esteemed.
40 Many from the crowd, when they heard the word, then said, "This truly is the Prophet."
41 Others said, "This is the Messiah," but others said, "Does the Messiah then come out of Galil?
42 "Did not the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of Dawiḏ and from the village of Bĕyth Leḥem, where Dawiḏ was?"
43 So a division came about among the people because of Him.
44 And some of them wished to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"
46 The officers answered, "Never has any man spoken like this Man!"
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, "Have you also been led astray?
48 "Has anyone of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in Him?
49 "But this crowd that does not know the Torah is accursed."
50 Naḵdimon – he who came to יהושע by night, being one of them – said to them,
51 "Does our Torah judge the man unless it hears first from him and knows what he is doing?"
52 They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galil? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galil."
53 And each one went to his own house.
Thank you for joining us as we read through the WORD of GOD! From My House to yours, may your Sabbath be full of the rest found in Him.

The Florida Project: Touchingly Human
Review by Aaron Haughton
Sean Baker serves up a strong and poignant follow up to Tangerine with The Florida Project. The film is an ode to the magic of childhood and is a profoundly entertaining celebration of the people living day-to-day to make ends meet. Its'a a rare gem that is sure to warm even the coldest of hearts, and it proves that Baker is one of the most humane filmmakers working today.
The film takes place at the Magic Inn, a somewhat seedy motel located in Orlando right next to the most magical place on earth (aka Disney World). The film is told entirely through the eyes of a rambunctious 6-year-old girl, Moonee (played by newcomer Brooklynn Prince). Moonee's mother, Halley (played by another newcomer Bria Vinaite), is a fiercely rebellious and struggles to get the rent paid each week by running a knock-off perfume hustle on the tourists residing at the nicer resorts nearby. Lucky for Halley, the Magic Inn manager, Bobby (played by the wonderful William Dafoe), is very compassionate about the motel's tenets, treating them in many cases as a surrogate father. Forced to find fun outside the Disney gates during the summer, Moonee and her ragtag gang of neighboring motel rascals manage to find it in the most mundane and unexpected places.
The film really is pretty magical, and in a lot of ways, it defies its synopsis, which isn't all too intriguing on its own. The story is one that we've seen a million times, but you've never seen it this honest or this beautifully told.
A lot of the magic derives from Baker's ability to craft a compelling narrative that has the potential to change your perspective. Take, for instance, the setting. The Magic Inn is a motel that you'd definitely pass without even batting an eye. If you did notice the motel, you'd likely pass judgements on the type of people that would venture to stay there, probably assuming that they're poor -- and you wouldn't be wrong about that. However, as Baker immerses you in this world that you would never dare enter yourself, you start to empathize with the motel's colorful array of outcasts and their somewhat sad and hopeless situation, ultimately arriving to the realization that there's more to these characters other than their obvious lack of wealth. At that point, the film's got it's hooks deep into your skin.
Similar to Baker's previous film Tangerine or last year's American Honey, the film shines a light on the people living on the boundaries of inclusion in society, nearly homeless, living day-to-day, week-to-week out of cheap motels. Baker's style is to humanize these people living on the fringe with unflinching honesty, never once passing judgement on his subjects. Halley is one of the worst mothers of all time, but she always makes her decisions, no matter how lurid they may be, for the welfare of her own child. Moonee is a near feral and pretty awful kid, but she still shows a monumental amount of heart and compassion when it matters most.
The film is sad and heartbreaking, but also joyous and very comical, and Baker's ability to balance all these emotions is virtuosic. The film is very raw, and it carries an undeniable amount of energy that ripples through every frame. Even if you find the kids or adults to be obnoxious, or you're frustrated that there's not too much happening with the story, the film will still win you over after everything's said and done.
The performances in the film are first-rate, which may be surprising considering many of the performers don't have a credit to their name, and Baker found Bria Vinaite (Halley), who isn't an actress, on Instagram. However, and this should come as no surprise, Dafoe absolutely crushes it as Magic Inn manager Bobby, delivering the best performance of his long and noteworthy career.
The ending comes rather abruptly, and it will either work for your or it won't. Tonally, it feels a little out of place, but it's the best ending imaginable, and it brings the film to a much needed magical high note conclusion.
Overall, it's a very visceral, realistic, and honestly touching film, well worth your time and money. The world needs more films like this. So, take a trip to the most magical place on earth without ever really entering the park. Trust me, you won't regret it.

text: Casual Brothers Games has announced that their upcoming beat em' up Orc Attack will be making its way onto Xbox Live Arcade sometime during the fourth quarter of this year. Bearing absolutely no relation to Orcs Must Die!, Orc Attack turns the tables a bit putting the player in control of orcs with the task of slaying, terrorizing and pillaging humans. It's also worth noting that the game is taking "potty humor" to a whole new level by literally building it into the combat system. Take a look at the nine minutes of gameplay footage above and you'll see what we mean.
