How and when did the system of passports, visas and immigration embassies officially come into existence?
Barbwires on the plainThe elite set up walls worldwide to control the movements of population, they installed these administrative walls roughly between 1914 and 1930, this was asked by the USA which wanted to protect themselves from a too strong immigration of the Russian population which ran away from the new bolchevic regime, and it was implemented by the SDN. A series of intergovernmental meetings on the adoption of the passport is held under the aegis of the temporary committee of the communications and the transit of LEAGUE OF NATIONS, the first conference is held in Paris in 1920 then in Geneva in 1926.Because countries implemanted the passport at different pace, it made a big disorder, Certain countries were early to start the expulsions whereas other countries closed their borders, it resulted in stateless persons without passport, they eventually invented the passport Nansen. Certain titles of residence were granted according to the job of the person it could be green and as it always happen extraordinary things to the Jews, we can consider that their yellow star was a part of their passport permanently visible....It brought a new race of Lord, the employee of Prefecture " the testimonies are many who indicate the necessity for the applicants to frequent dedicatedly the lanes of prefectures, negotiate with the state employees to obtain the progress of their case and the acceleration of the procedures. The face-to-face negotiation, and the unpredictable or unequal dimension that it implies, according to the condition of the applicant, its appearance, its master's degree of french, the good will of the agent, transforms the request of card into a an uncertain and, sometimes, indefinite wait.The elite felt the need to set up the system of passports in 1920 while the world population was "only" 1,750 billions of individuals, no need to wonder why the system is still active today with 7 billions of indiv. and let alone will it be active when in 2030 there will be 9 billions of people to be managed, although it will follow tehnology. This history of passport joins a long trend of identification of the people with a side front office (display, labeling), any more or less visible document allowing the person to become identified, and back office (central files keeping the history of these people). The fast evolution of techniques from the end of the XIXth century to licence in the states to find discriminating characteristics among every individual (it was of access of techniques in the former, the photo, the fingerprint in the ink and some anthropometric indications up to the recent techniques, the magnetic card of access, scan of the iris or the hand, the DNA, the flea RFID, the phone triangulation, followed by bank card, IP internet address, electronic signature, to normalize documents and to interconnect them it which became really effective with the creation and the IT interconnection of files.In France the "foreigner" status exists since 1917. France made an “ ID card of foreigner ", by a decree of April, 1917, it was the first experience in Europe of an identification targeted at every resident foreign on the national ground, it marked a fundamental stage in the history of the immigration control in France.", they also had a "central Service of the Russian refugees".The strong European migration in the United States was an economic migration, most of the migrants, English, the Irish, German, French migrated without will of return to participate in the economic life of their new homeland. The dislocation of the tsarist, Austria-Hungary and Ottoman empire caused a big movement of the order of 4 million people. In Russia there were several waves, a wave "white" (the Russians white with the name of the color of their uniform opposed to red), the civil war then the famines of 1921-22 then the extension of the sovietization. It is estimated that after the end of the 1st war 1,500,000 Russians ran away from the Soviet Russia, 1,500,000 Greeks of the Anatolia and the Turkish provinces, 350,000 Armenians of Asia Minor, 120,000 Bulgarians of Greece, 25,000 Assyrians of Iraq, 115,000 German of Germany and another 8,000 of Saar. Without counting Hungarians who ran away before the red terror and the Hungarians who ran away before the white terror, the Italians who ran away before Mussolini, the Spaniards who ran away before Primo de Rivera and the Spaniards who ran away before the Republic. (The Greeks and the Bulgarians were forced to emigrate as a result of the Balkan Wars, the World war and of the Greco-Turkish War in 1923). This turmoil led the USA to protect themselves from a too strong immigrationIn US the existence of a card of identity was always fought as being the mark of totalitarian regimes in practice they use either birth certificates, or numbers of Social Security, or driving licences. This explains the place that FBI set. Thus FBI made in a more or less covered and discreet way what the French prefectures could make in full light. Thus we see that all these countries, that they are democratic as the US, republican as France, fascist as Germany or dictatorial as Russia, was of agreement on a point to set up a world police system, Hitler and Stalin were more brutal than the French Prefets but the will behind was the same. It begins with "Vos papiers!" and it finishes with Interpol.In Russia the tsarist passport was abolished with the Revolution, but an urban passport was restored by the decree of December 27th, 1932, the campaign of passeportisation was presented as a gigantic operation of check of the identity of every inhabitant. For the only year of 1930, the political police recorded 14 000 demonstrations, riots and peasant uprisings, among which a big part in Ukraine, this obliged the central state to develop a police of maintenance of law and order. The central state had to feed not only its cities but also to export products on the international markets to obtain products of the outside as machine tools or tractors but feeding an army what put a new pressure on the agricultural world. Overcome militarily the "Resistance fighters" (soon considered by the central power as botchers, speculators, enemies of people and middle-class person) launched a passive resistance, by working weakly or shooting down the livestock and emigrating on close China. In front of the "passive resistance" Stalin launched the policy of the Gulag and the policy of passports to access cities though avoiding that populations useless to the industrial project came to try to feed in town.What are Westphalian treaties good at?Westphalia did not solve in itself the conflicts of religion, because the treaty of Nuremberg took place before Westphalia and the abolition of the Edict of Nantes took place later. Westphalia serves as narrative to justify the concept of nation state which would have developed in several stages 1648, 1815 (concert of Europe), 1919 (LEAGUE OF NATIONS) and 1945 (United Nations). This system where the elite can play the game of the international relations while choosing the policy to use inside of her zone, brought a solution to the religious wars only because the minority people could emigrate to join a safe zone. This is what made the Huguenots after the revocation of the edict of Nantes and this helped to not having such another story as a new Saint Barthelemty. This migration of the Huguenots off the Bourbon space towards Protestant countries of the North thus remind the exchanges of population between Turkey and Greece, between Germany and Russia, between Pakistan and India as well as the return of the descendants of the Genoese of Tunisia towards Italy. Thus the westphalien system is indissolubly connected to the possibility of emigrating; but since the institution of passports the immigration is forbidden, the consequence of Westphalia + passport is that the peoples do not have other choices than to accept their bad fate if they are stocked in a war zone.Authors wrote on the appearance of these barbed wires on the plain Bertold Brecht "The State takes care of you. It is not anymore as before. (...) As for passports, if we invented them, it is before any a question of order. In this day and age, the order is something absolutely necessary. Let us suppose that you and me, us have a walk without a giving evidence room whom we are: in the daytime or we would want to deport us, impossible to find us: It would be the anarchy "or this Stefan ZWEIG's beautiful text" nothing maybe makes more sensitive the great backward movement than underwent the world since the World War I that the limitations brought to the freedom of movement of the men and, in a general way, to their rights. Before 1914, the earth had belonged to all the men. Each went where he wanted and remained there as long as he pleased him. There were no permissions, no authorizations, and I always have fun with the surprise of the young people, when I tell to them that before 1914 I travelled in India and in America without possessing of passport, without having it seen even never one. We got on the train, we came down from it without asking for anything, unless we asked you for nothing, we did not have to fill the only one of these thousand formulae and declarations which are required today.”

What are the main areas that one should learn during CA articleship?
I did my articleship from Khimji Kunverji and Co., one of the top firms in Mumbai; and it was an awesome experience. Let me shed some light on my learnings -Learn to say NO - Random seniors come and give you random work. Learn to say No. Learn to say you are busy. You are not a dustbin.Learn to say YES - You need to have a good rapport with your immediate seniors and your boss. I have filled my boss’s daughter’s BFM admission form because she needed some help. Sometimes, you have to keep your ego aside and look at the larger picture.Whether audit or tax is the one for you - You tend to spend 3 years in articleship, doing either audit or tax. It is good enough time to gauge whether you want to do this for your entire life or not. For me the answer was NO, and I switched to Finance. No point wasting time once you qualify.Domain Knowledge - In your first job interviews after becoming a CA, a lot of stress will be on what you did during these 3 years. You should be upto date with that. Get your basics right.Out time is a myth – As per my firm HR Manual, the official work time was roughly 10-30 to 6–30. Strangely, you used to be penalized for coming late, but no credit for going late. It’s the norm. Get used to it.Make Mistakes - Ask stupid questions. Make mistakes. Experiment. Because you have the license to. You are a fresher. As a CA, people expect more.Do not neglect your Social Life - Its important. Your boss will not come at 12 to your place with a cake in his hand, wishing you a happy birthday.I remember getting into a train during my 1st year articleship. I somehow started chatting with a guy standing near me. He was a CA. I told him I just cleared IPCC and started with articleship. He started laughing and said “Welcome to Hell”.With all the office and study pressure, you might feel life sucks during articleship, but it will be a great experience. You will create memories of a lifetime. Cherish it :)

What kind of skill set should a CA student develop before starting Articleship?
This hunger for more knowledge is good for a CA Student. It is a very good idea to know what others have learnt and re-assess oneself on the basis of same, so that you become equally competent. This is a good way of improving oneself.Part A - About the core Knowledge:(a) What your firm operates in - you can't do much beyond that.Core Knowledge = Practical Knowledge about areas your firm is operating in.See the firm you have chosen or you got into, basically will provide you with the knowledge of some of the fields in which Chartered Accountants works. You cannot gain knowledge about all fields in which Chartered Accountants work, since the scope is very wide and whether it is a Big Four or a sole proprietor Chartered Accountant, nobody can give you work experience in all fields. So basically these core areas where you get to work - you have to be satisfied with the same. All you can do is - learn from experiences of your friends who are in to different core areas. This is a rigid area, and not much can be done in this.(b) Try to get an assignment in all kinds of activities that your firms do -You can't go out of the box in which your firm operates, but atleast you can learn everything that is in your box. Many articles run away from certain things - saying it is a low category assignment or not so fascinating. It is because they all hear it from their friends about the big industry they worked in and blah blah things. But go and ask those friends, if they know, what is the procedure to obtain a PAN card and a duplicate PAN card? What is the procedure to obtain Shop Act? or atleast if they know what is Shop act?My Insights -In our office they didn't used to allow articles to do that, the administrative people like Bcom people used to do that. But I insisted on the same, to allow me to do them once. The task was easy, but it was something very basic that I learnt. Later when you start your practice or job, these are somethings that give you edge over others. If you become an entrepreneur, you can handle those things yourself. So it is beneficial always.(c) Try to get assignments in all kinds of industries that firm works in -Basically most Chartered Accountants work in some fixed industries since when you do good to one client, similar clients get attracted, so automatically, you will see that most clients are of similar category. As an article you should try to do audit of all kinds of organizations -Based on organization type like Sole proprietor, Private limited companies, Partnership firms, trusts, public limited companies etc.Based on different business forms like Retailers, Wholesalers, Chain stores, Manufacturers, Service providers, Traders, Consultants, Support Services, Maintenance services, Export oriented, etc.Based on different industries like IT, E-commerce, FMCG, Finance, Automobiles, Telecom, etc.Based on Tax benefits or special act companies like religious trusts enjoying benefits u/s 11 or 12, regulated companies like insurance, banking, etc. or may be companies in Special Economic Zones, etc.A Piece of Advice -You won't find all of the above in any one firm. Such firms giving such wide opportunities don't exist. But thing is - you need to explore every corner of your own firm, whatever it is.(d) Try to gain overall knowledge of all types of works -Don't think about specialization in Articleship, it is not that much useful, because if later in life that sector goes down, your career will get a full-stop. As a Chartered Accountant you must first learn all the basics of all types of work, when you become aware about basics, i.e. after articleship, then you should try to develop core competence when you find jobs or do practice.My Insights -If you don't get an assignment of different type - go to your principal and say that "Sir, I want to learn about that kind of work, if next time there is any work related to that xyz client, please give me a chance." I did it in my articleship, and I got those opportunities, Sir was happier indeed, that an article was ready to take up some sort of responsibility. I am pretty sure, 80% of Chartered Accountants would do the same. If you say politely, the teacher inside them will awake, and they will allow you to fly!Part B - Other things that you should learn during articleship - More important than above said things!(a) Office Ethics -You should learn about the office culture, how people dress, talk, meet and greet colleagues, seniors and clients. It is very important to observe how people form groups, how they make their juniors to work and seniors to help/guide. It is very important to notice, how others are keeping good relations with administrative staff i.e. HR, Clerks, etc. - something that is very helpful at times of problems. There are many more things - basically you have to learn how people operate in office and especially how your boss stays in office - since someday you too will be a boss.A Piece of advice -Learn good things only. Although I assume most Chartered Accountants are well cultured and natured, but exceptions may exist. But remember, may be your boss was good or bad, you have to become a good boss in future.At many times you feel that your boss did wrong, and he/she should have allowed you to do xyz thing. Remember such incidents or make a note of it. When you become a boss, you do them correctly. If you are able to do, you are a good boss, else you will realize had a wrong idea about your boss.(b) Printing, Scanning, Documenting, Letter typing, Organizing Office, Using appropriate Stationery -Your reaction - "Oh God! Really?"Consider this situation - you are in a corporate office, a high ranked employee. You tell the clerk to scan a document, but your clerk is new. He is not acquainted with the printer. What would you do, if you yourself don't know how to use a printer or scanner? In early days of your job or in many companies, you don't have clerks who do it for you, you have a printer next to you and you have to do it yourself. In case you don't know these, what a shame! A Chartered Accountant, but does know how to use a printer or how to unpin a staple! God! Dummies on earth.My Insights -One of the expert HR was sharing his experiences with interviewing Chartered Accountant, at a conference that I was listening to. He said, we tried an experiment successfully. We told every candidate entering into the interview room to arrange certain documents and properly organize them into a file. Now on the basis of how file was organized, they discovered candidates who had done dummy articleship or articleship of low grade, because those candidates never knew how to arrange a file, since they never did it in their lifetime.So basically the best thing about a good leader, boss, a senior or an entrepreneur is that he/she knows the work of all persons junior to him/her very well. That's why they can handle them well.So basically learn the following things and many more which I can't list out -How to properly document an Audit file?How to properly keep a permanent client record - both electronic & physicalHow printers, scanners, servers of your office, internet network, LAN systems, routers, biometrics, connections etc. work in your office.How to use correct stationery correctly? Like properly unpinning documents, or may be how to create sets for clients, income tax officers, registrars etc.How to draft covering letters, envelopes, request letters, etc.(c) Drafting Email Communications & Email Ethics -The most important part indeed of articleship. The fact is we never get opportunity to learn this anywhere else. This is a good ground to learn. Initially you can see how your boss writes email, how your senior does it. Then you can innovate it yourself. The thing is in business world, everything today goes on Email. Emails don't have a tone, they don't have smileys (means they are not used). Writing a good email, is an art. It is very important to learn how to write such kinds of emails.Emails asking client to provide information, with accurate requirement list.Polite Emails for making client realize the wrong they have done.Emails providing consultancy services. See email consultancy is a big time opportunity and costless service, in future a good means of earning.Writing intra-office emails.Whom to keep in CC, Never to use BCC, how should be the subject line, how should be the signature etc.When email shouldn't be used & telephonic conversations should be preferred, sending reminders, how to use meeting feature, etc.(d) Oral Communications - F2F or telephonic or over internetThis is again a great area to learn. It very necessary to learn how to interact with clients. The interaction can be face to face, or telephonic or over internet services like skype, etc. It very important to learn to learn how to deal with such situations. A conversation over telephone, has to be polite and discussing documents over telephone is also an art. Similarly communication over Skype is also an interesting thing to learn, one should know how to have business conversations over Skype and how to share documents, discuss & present over it.(e) Formatting documents - Something that stupids call stupidity!I have seen documents and emails from fellow Chartered Accountants, so pathetically formatted, that I sometimes wish to hit them with a stone, maybe their sense would come back then. But basically the idea is Chartered Accountants are professionals, and therefore, a professional behaviour is expected from them. The behaviour is expected highest in the documents and reports. Thus, it is very important to learn:Appropriate font sizes, font stylesHow to add tables in emails, how to structure an email, maximum size of emails, minimum size of emailsWhen to use and when not to use - bold, italics, underlines, shades, coloursHow to structure paragraphs, appropriate line spacingHow to convert documents into different formatsHow much margins to keep, how to make document print readyHow to make document secureHow to make documents self-explanatory by adding commentsHow to use various functions like footnotes, document review, freeze panes, grouping - sub-grouping, page numbers, author details etcCover page for report, report size, number of maximum pages, drafting executive summary, adding disclaimers, etc.Conclusion:The Part A makes you an intelligent Chartered Accountant.The Part B makes you an intelligent Human Being.And let me tell you, Part B is more important, because even if you don't become a CA, an intelligent human being can definitely live a good career!Ignoring the part B is very common amongst CA, and that's why MBAs getting an edge over CAs is also very common.Many people say 'Articleship is nothing but labour work', well it is because you think it that way, and that's why you are doing it that way. If you try, you will realize articleship period is life changing!"You will have hundreds of opportunities to learn the bigger things once you become CA, but not these small things. Once you become CA, people don't expect you to know everything, they understand it is quite impossible, but they definitely do expect that you know these basic things rightly."

Why haven't we sent a robotic rock/soil sample return mission to Mars yet?
Money. Commitment. Confidence. Lack of those three.It is currently the highest priority planetary science objective, but it is expensive and risky. There have been plans since the 60's for a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, as it's called, but nothing has launched. It got close by 1999 with an MSR project underway with planned launches in 2003 and 2005, but that incarnation was cancelled after the MCO and MPL failures in 1999. Those failures demolished our confidence in taking on the complexity of MSR. We have since rebuilt our capability and confidence in operations at Mars with several successful missions, so at least that part should not be standing in the way of MSR. What's left is the money and commitment. It's a lot of money, and NASA would have to remain committed to the objective over a few administrations.We may be on our way to clearing those hurdles. The first leg of MSR is now a pretty serious project, having just completed its Preliminary Design Review. It is called Mars 2020 (launching in 2020, hence the name). Mars 2020 will send a large Curiosity-class rover to select and acquire rock cores and soil samples for later return. Two follow-on missions in, hopefully, the 2020's will launch those samples into Mars orbit and then bring those samples from Mars orbit to Earth. If all goes well, we could have selected samples from Mars on Earth by the end of the next decade.

How do you build stamina for working long hours?
Before I answer this question, I want to start by pointing one thing out…You’re not supposed to work long hours!According to all of the best research, after 35 hours of work, your weekly productivity will begin to declineThis means that if you were working at a level 8–10 for the first 35 hours of the week, you’ll be working at a level 5 or below for hours 35+.While there are many people like Gary Vaynerchuk who seem to be able to bend reality to their will and work insane hours for extended periods of time, the simple fact of the matter is this:You only have so much mental energy to expend in a week.You cannot be operating at 100% for 60, 70, or 80 hours a week. It’s just not possible.And if you try… Then you are going to wear yourself out and lower the quality of the other hours that you work.It’s far better to work 35 or fewer hours per week where you are hyper focused and productive than it is to work 60 where you are burnt out and frustrated.But I digress…If you’re anything like I was 2–3 years ago, you’re going to read this and completely ignore it, and that’s fine. Most people have to experience things firsthand before they will really believe them.So with that disclaimer out of the way, here are a few tips and tricks for increasing your energy, focus, and productivity so that you can work long hours effectively.(Note: Some of this content is pulled from my Ultimate Guide to Limitless Productivity where I share the most scientifically validated ways to increase your productivity and get more done in less time)1. Sleep at Least 7.5 Hours Each NightIf you want to have the stamina to work long hours, then you need to make sure that your body and mind are fully rested and equipped to handle an arduous work load.According to Medical Daily, 40.6 million Americans, more than 30% of the workforce, are chronically sleep deprived.Now, at first glance, you might think, “C’mon Andrew, who gives a crap? You can sleep when you’re dead, these people just need to work more!”But when you consider that sleep deprivation has been linked to:DepressionDeliriumHallucinationsImpaired Cognition and an Increased Risk of Preventable AccidentsNot to mention, an increased risk of infections, cancer, and overall mortality.You begin to realize that sleep deprivation is a big deal.Like a really big deal.I know that most young people love the #hustle mentality and believe that there is something noble or productive in sleep deprivation.But nothing could be further from the truth.Unless you have the rare genetic mutation, DEC2, (present in less than 5% of the population) sleeping less than 6 hours a night is literally killing you.And the worst part?You aren’t even aware that it’s happening.Now, let’s consider the positive effects that studies have shown to be present when an individual gets sufficient sleep.Improved memoryLower systemic inflammationImproved immune functionElevated moodLearning and problem-solving abilities improvedI don’t know about you, but I personally believe that having a better memory, experiencing less illness, feeling happier, learning faster, and solving problems more rapidly all strongly correlate to being more productive.This isn’t just my opinion either. In fact, some of the world’s top performers report sleeping more than 8.5 hours a night.Podcast Guest, Neil Patel sleeps 9.25 hours a night while running three multi-million dollar businesses.Arianna Huffington, Co-founder of the Huffington Post and multimillionaire claims that sleeping 8 hours a night was partially responsible for her success.James Altucher, multi-millionaire investor, and hedge fund manager includes “Sleeping 8 Hours” as one of the keys to his financial successAt this point, it should be clear that getting more sleep is, indeed, one of the quickest ways to boost your productivity.But the question still remains, “How much sleep do I need, and how can I get better quality sleep?”According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults need 7-9 hours in order to prevent the effects of sleep deprivation from affecting your life and productivity. (slightly more if you’re an avid athlete)As for increasing the quality of your sleep, it’s actually pretty simple.Go to bed before 11 p.m.Wake up at the same time each daySleep in a completely dark and cold room (research shows that 65-67 F is ideal for sleep)Exercise dailyTurn off all electronics 60 minutes before bed.I know that this particular section was a little bit long-winded, but this point is so important that I couldn’t simply breeze through it.If you want to be more productive, you need to sleep. Period.Until you are getting 7.5-9 hours of sleep on a consistent basis, the other tactics included in this guide will simply fan the flames of burnout until, eventually, you collapse in a stressed out, sleep deprived panic attack.Take it from me (and thousands of scholarly studies), quit trying to join the sleepless elite and get your 7 hours. M’kay?2. Sweat for At Least 20 Minutes a DayStudy after study after study has illustrated the tremendous importance of daily exercise.From:Decreased depressionElevated mood, reduced stress, and less anxietyImproved blood flow to the brainThe production of new brain cellsImproves memoryImproved discipline, impulse control, and decision makingIn fact, there are SO many benefits to exercise, that the Harvard Business Review has stated that regular exercise should be a mandatory part of any job description.Luckily, studies have shown that you don’t have to exercise for hours every day to reap these benefits.In fact, just 150 minutes of weekly exercise (that’s 30 minutes every weekday) is more than sufficient to improve your productivity, mood, and general well being.If you are exercising exclusively for increased productivity, studies have shown that 2-3 moderately intense sessions of aerobic exercise each week will have the most dramatic impact on your ability to focus and concentrate.However, this does not mean that you should exclusively train your aerobic capacity.Further research has indicated that combining regular aerobic conditioning with an intelligent weightlifting regimen (I recommend this one) and regular yoga will have the greatest impact on your ability to be more productive and stay focused throughout the day.3. Eat Clean Burning Foods and Reduce Your Carb Load Early in the DayMost people underestimate the effect that your diet has on cognitive performance and general productivity.Think about it this way…Your brain is the center of all productivity.Although that tiny little supercomputer takes up only 2-3% of the total mass of your body, it burns more than 20% of the calories that you consume!In and of itself, this should clearly illustrate the link between food and productivity.Studies from the Harvard Business Review have shown an inextricable link between the calories that you consume and the ability for your brain to focus and achieve long-lasting concentration.I won’t bore you with all of the science, but I will suffice it to say that what you eat matters… A lot.If you want to be as productive as possible, you will want to clean up your diet.Here are a few guidelines to get you started.Eliminate as many processed foods as possibleConsume slow burning foods such as raw vegetables and fibrous carbohydrates throughout the day to properly regulate glucose levels in the brainConsume your biggest and highest carb meal after your workout or at dinnerSkip breakfast and opt for coconut oil coffee or eat a very protein and fat rich breakfast (no carbs!)Although you can dive much much deeper into the world of productivity and focus through dieting, simply eliminating processed foods, increasing the number of vegetables you eat, and waiting until later in the day to consume carbs will dramatically improve your productivity almost overnight.If you are interested in learning more about how your dietary choices and productivity are related, check out this awesome infographic from Hubspot.4. Bring the JoyAlthough it might seem like common sense, happy and excited people are more productive.How much more productive?Well, according to a study compiled by Professor Andrew Oswald, Dr. Eugenio Proto and Dr. Daniel Sgroi from the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick, happy employees are 12% more productive than their unhappy peers!I don’t have time to dive into all of the amazing research that has been compiled in recent years that details what determines human happiness, (you should check out the Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor if you’re interested in this), I want to share a quick tactic I picked up from Brendon Burchard.The tactic, called “Bring the Joy” is simple enough, but the results you will experience are profound.All I want you to do is to set 3 alarm on your phone titled Bring the Joy.Set them to go off at different times throughout the day and, when you see the notification pop up on your screen, I want you to ask yourself three questions.What level of joy and presence am I bringing to this present moment?What am I grateful for today?How can I bring more joy and excitement into my current interactions and activities?Like I said, simple right?I challenge you to try this tactic for the next 30 days and genuinely pause and become aware of your state every time your alarm goes off.You will be amazed at how much more productive and joyful your life will become.5. Meditate for at Least 10 Minutes a DayAlthough the scientific community needs to further evaluated the direct link between meditation and productivity, several studies like this one, conducted at a Fortune 100 company, show a very clear link between a regular meditation practice and increased productivity at work.The reason for this is simple.Meditation is proven to help: (source)Lower blood pressureAlleviate symptoms of insomniaReduce depression and anxietyReduce painReduce symptoms of IBSAid in smoking cessationOh, did I mention that it has also been shown to rebuild grey matter?As I’ve already discussed, happiness and productivity are inextricably linked and it should be pretty clear that any practice which decreases depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness will, by default, improve your productive output.I challenge you to take up a meditation practice for the next 30 days and record how you feel.Arnold Schwarzenegger, the infamous bodybuilder, real estate tycoon, and “Governator” of California stated that his one year of intense TM (Transcendental Meditation) practice has created results that6. Take Strategic Breaks Throughout the Day to Maintain Your Energy and EnthusiasmOne of the most surprising ways to increase your energy and boost productivity is actually to work less and take breaks more frequently.Study after study has shown that the human brain cannot focus (effectively) for more than 90 minutes.Eventually, your brain needs a break from any given task to consolidate and process information, renew our focus, and ensure that our tasks are ultimately congruent with our goals.Later in this article, I’ll discuss the Pomodoro method which helps cement these findings into your daily workflow.But for now, I simply want to encourage you to start taking a 45-60 minute break in the middle of every workday.During these breaks, I recommend that you:Practice meditationWalk outsideEat a light snackDo some calisthenicsReadTalk with friendsTest out different methods of recharging yourself and renewing your focus throughout the day and it will pay dividends in the long run.7. Eliminate Email as Much as PossibleNothing will drain your focus and stamina more than wasting nearly 30% of your work week responding to emails!In the United States alone, the average employee spends more than 28% of their time or 13 hours a week responding to emails.That’s more than 650 hours a year wasted on largely unproductive, reactive, and unnecessary correspondence!Over the average employee’s lifespan (45 working years) that equates to more than 29250 hours wasted on email.For those of you who are quick with a calculator, this means that the average employee will spend 3 years of their life responding to and clearing out emails!That’s a jaw-dropping amount of time to spend on such an insignNow and largely unimportant task as email.So what in the hell are we going to do about it?Although entire books have been written on the topic of reducing email overload and reclaiming your inbox (and your life) I will keep things simple.I recommend that you:Check email only twice a day (I do it at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.)“Touch it once”. Either respond to, archive or delete an email. Never leave it in your inboxStop using email folders and simply search for emails when you need themKeep your emails to 5 sentences or less and inform people of this policy in your signature (shoutout to Chris Bailey for this one)Go on an email vacation and let co-workers know you won’t be responding to email until you are done with your biggest project (they will survive I promise)If you do nothing other than implementing these five tips your productivity will skyrocket.Imagine if you could reduce the amount of time you spend on email to only one hour a week.How much more could you accomplish with 12 extra hours in your work week?How much income could you create? How many promotions could you secure?The more you think about it, the more you will realize that email is the scourge of productivity and, although it is a necessary evil, it is an evil nonetheless.8. Embrace the Power of “No”The most powerful word in the entire English language is composed of only two letters.“No”The word “No” has started wars, ended wars, overthrown oppressive governments, and, as it pertains to our conversation, revolutionized personal productivity and fulfillment for people all over the world.Just think about it for a moment.How much pain, discomfort, and genuine wasted time have you experienced in your life because you said “Yes” when you should have said “No”?How many times have you spent an afternoon with people that you didn’t like, in a setting that made you uncomfortable, for a purpose you couldn’t ascertain simply because you didn’t have the courage to say “No”?If you are anything like me, the answer is probably “A lot”.I know from first-hand experience that implementing the power of “No” into your life can be very challenging.For years, I was a chronic people pleaser.I would go to parties I didn’t want to attend, stay late at work, go on dates with people I didn’t care for, and generally lived my life for the approval of others instead of my own personal satisfaction.Until one day, I had enough.I was burnt out, stressed out, wallowing in unfinished projects, unmet personal expectations, and general angst about my existence.So I decided to say “No” more often.I said no:When family members wanted to hang out during my workdaysWhen audience members asked to take me to lunch (I love you guys but I literally cannot meet with 30,000+ men 1-on-1)When friends wanted to go out and I didn’tWhen people made unfair requests of me and my timeWhen people asked for unwarranted favors because they were “My friend”I said “No” to the bad and even the good so that I could say “Yes” to the great.And if you want to be as productive as possible and create a truly prolific life, then you must learn to do the same.9. Use the Pomodoro TechniqueRemember how we talked about the importance of taking breaks way back in Path #1 (yeah, I know this is a long ass article)?Well, it turns out that taking breaks every 50-90 minutes can be just as effective at increasing your productivity and focus throughout the day as the 45-minute renewal exercise we already discussed.The reason for this lies in something called the Ultradian Rhythm.Effectively our brain waves are cyclical and go through peaks and troughs roughly every 90 minutes.In the same way that your brain cycles through different wavelengths during a 90-minute sleep cycle, so too does your brain cycle through wavelengths in a “basic rest-activity cycle”.If you are interested in learning more about the science, you can check out this article from Tony Schwartz.Knowing that cognitive output is cyclical, meaning that you physically cannot sustain high levels of concentration without intermittent periods of rest, changes the entire approach to productivity and focus.This is where the Pomodoro technique comes in handy.Instead of fighting against your Ultradian Rhythm, the Pomodoro technique works with it.Here’s what you do.Instead of simply sitting down at your desk to work, you are going to pick one of your most important tasks of the day (which I will talk about in the next point) and focus on it for a definite length of time between 25 and 90 minutes.Then, you are going to set a timer, eliminate all distractions, and get to work on that project with single-focus until the timer goes off.When the timer buzzes, you are going to take a break anywhere from 5-22 minutes (depending on the length of your work session) before sitting back down to begin the process all over again.All you need to complete the Pomodoro Technique is:A physical or online timerSomething to work onYour brainIt really is that simple.I’ve tested this tactic out for myself and have noticed that I am consistently more productive, more efficient, and more happy with my output when I use the Pomodoro technique on a regular basis.10. Create Locational Anchors to Build Productive StatesAn underground tactic that I’ve found to be immensely effective in recent months is the use of locational anchors.This concept was first introduced to me when I listened to an excellent podcast with Jairek Robbins.Jairek discussed the concept of locational anchors by explaining that the brain works through the power of association and that, the more associations we can build for a specific task, the easier it will be to accomplish it.This is why doctors tell you to only use your bed for sleep and sex.You want to make sure that when it’s time to unwind or *ahem* perform, that your body and brain associate your bed with those activities.This is also why it’s so much easier to have an awesome workout at your local gym than it is with an Iron Gym in your living room.However, Jairek took things a step further and recommended that you actually develop locational anchors for ALL major tasks that you must complete throughout the day.For example:Check email at the kitchen tableTake conference calls at your local cafeWrite at your desk while looking out the windowDesign sales funnels at your desk with your back to the windowComplete all administrative work at a specific nook in your houseThe list goes on and on.Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any direct research to back up this particular hack, however, after experiencing its effectiveness first hand, I couldn’t leave it off this list.Give it a go for 90 days and I promise you will get more done than you ever believed possible.Final Thoughts: Take it Easy on Yourself!Before I leave you to take on the big bad world of getting sh*t done and becoming a productivity machine, I wanted to leave you with one final tip.Take it easy on yourself.The most unproductive thing you can do is to berate and belittle yourself because you haven’t been as successful or productive as you want.Yes, it’s important that you are honest with yourself and your clients and don’t sugarcoat the reality of your current capacity.However, you must remember that you were never taught this in school. You weren’t born with the knowledge of how to be massively productive.You’ve simply been operating on whatever systems you picked up from the people around you and, hopefully, you now have better systems to test and implement.Productivity and focus are both acquired skillsets.You aren’t born productive and it’s not something that is determined by your genetics. It’s a matter of principles and systems, testing, failing, and figuring out what works for you.So take it easy on yourself as you strive to get more done.The journey will take time, but it will be worth it.Good luck!Closeout this article and go get some shit done!

How will blockchain technology affect the real estate industry?
1. REDUCING FRAUDReal estate fraud costs unwitting buyers millions of dollars each year.Criminals are able to fake title ownership, often simply by using editing software to stipulate transfer of property ownership in their favour, and at negligible expense. Indeed, title insurance itself is a $20 billion industry, and Lifthrasir estimates that at present it is costing around $1 billion to combat title fraud.“Forgery of documents showing someone is the owner of a property but really is not is one major problem. It’s been reinvented with technology as the duplicating of notary stamps and grant deeds is much easier with the use of the Internet.”Paul Barbagelata, owner of Barbagelata Real Estate in San Francisco told MarketWatch.One of the most common types of real estate fraud is rental scams.As reported by Morgan Brennan from Forbes, one of the most common types of real estate fraud is rental scams, in which a scam-artist will copy details and photos from a real listing, then re-post on another site while posing as the agent responsible for the property. The crook will then ask for money up front from interested parties — as a security deposit or a fee for their “services” — or request that funds be transferred to a third party (who is part of the scam) as proof of available funds to make the purchase. The unwitting buyer is unlikely to see a dime of this money again.Blockchain as proof of existence; proof of ownership; proof of transaction; proof of exchange; proof of value in any form of proof, is where this technology is showing its strength.Replacing paper proof with digital proof is the heart of blockchain technology and it’s where most blockchain start-up companies are focusing.Everledger is leading the pack, as it has addressed a very specific issue with a smart solution.Blockchain technology would allow you to upload your land title documentation to the network, which other users can record and verify if needed. This would provide proof that you are the first owner of the documents, and decentralised network verification would prevent forgery. When it’s time to transfer your title, the document simply requires ‘rehashing’ (encrypting) by you to prove he/she is in possession of the document.The elimination of costs associated with title insurance and fraud, according to Lifthrasir, is the biggest advantage of using blockchain.Companies such as Everledger are currently trying to solve this problem in the Diamond industry.Image source: EverledgerEverledger was created by Leanne to address this issue, and was one of the companies selected by Barclays for coaching through the Techstars program in the Barclays Accelerator. Everledger offers a permanent ledger for diamond certification and related transaction history on the blockchain, and acts as verification for insurance companies, owners and law enforcement.2. DISINTERMEDIATION (THAT MEANS CUTTING OUT THE MIDDLEMAN)Do you like these parties leeching off of you?1. Brokers2. Government property databases3. Title companies: Insurance and property databases4. Escrow companies5. Inspectors and appraisers6. NotaryThese middlemen exist because they hold information (The keys) that you can’t access or have skills/ licenses you don’t have that needed are needed to operate in the existing property transaction ecosystem.With a Public blockchain you can distribute a database where anyone can record information, without it being censored, and without needing permission. Equally, anyone can access that information. (Transparency)For example:Prior to the internet, the government and title companies were necessary to verify and record property data.How can Blockchain technology replace these middlemen?Blockchain will enable every property, everywhere, to have a corresponding digital address that contains occupancy, finance, legal, building performance, and physical attributes that conveys perpetually and maintains all historical transactions. Additionally, the data will be immediately available online and correlatable across all properties. The speed to transact will be shortened from days/weeks/months to minutes or seconds.– Jason Ray, Nov 2, 2015.CURRENT WAY OF DOING THINGSThe title to a property is a piece of paper. To transfer a property, you fill in the blanks on a deed, sign it with a pen, drive to a notary who puts their rubber stamp on it, and then drive this paper to your local government office to be placed in their database.Do you see the problem here?It’s SLOW and archaic. Too much time and money is wasted. Especially tax payers moneySOLUTIONBitcoin or Ethereum can create a digital title. This is a cryptographically secure token that can be transferred as effortlessly, quickly and cheaply as an email. Once people can easily verify property records themselves and transfer a title digitally, brokers, escrow companies, title insurance companies and notary publics will follow the decline of the post office.3.MONEY 2.0Bitcoin is a digital currency. Ethereum has its “Ether” token (Think of it as another currency) . Unlike the Dollar, blockchain currencies aren’t paper that are later represented by software, but are 100% computer code.The power of cryptocurrency is you can program it to escrow and distribute itself. With fiat (Non-crypto) money, you need humans and banks.THINK ABOUT THISWhen you want to rent an apartment, the landlord takes your security deposit in case you damage the property.By law, he’s supposed to keep the funds in a separate escrow account and not spend it. Once the lease ends, the tenant has to rely on the good faith of the landlord to return the deposit. But if you’ve ever attended small claims court you know how frequently this human/trust-based system fails.Me as a renter and owner have gone through both sides of the coinA) Never getting back the depositB) Tenant trashes the place and your deposit only cover 1/10 of damages.Either way, it’s a bad situation. No Bueno!Bitcoin has a function called multi-signature. In bitcoin, you use your private key to approve the sending of the digital currency to another person. With “multisig,” you can create a transaction with three private keys, where at least two are required for spending.Cryptocurrency can be used to create a programmable escrow. Instead of sending the landlord dollars to a bank account, the tenant and landlord create a multi-signature transaction. The tenant and landlord each has one private key, and a third one is given to neutral third party (Arbitrator). For the security deposit to be spent, two out of the three people will need to use their private key. The funds are locked in crypto-escrow for the duration of the lease.By using cryptocurrency, real estate escrows can be done more securely, quickly, and cheaply. Bitcoin is Money 2.0 also because it’s censorship-resistant.Bitcoin isn’t held in bank accounts but in a digital wallet stored on your computer or smartphone.Image Source: randomdirections4.SMART CONTRACTSUsing smart contracts based on blockchain technology, assets exchange could follow specific instructions.Property transactions could be added on a blockchain in a similar way to how payments between parties are handled using digital currencies like Bitcoin. Every ‘coin’ represents a unique house or piece of land and exchange is just like in any other transaction using digital currency.It is expected that a blockchain based business in real estate will not happen overnight. While the technology offers some exciting prospects for the future, streamlining such an innovative protocol with a very administration-based industry will take several years.Chris Groshong is the founder and president at CoinStructive, a San Diego-based Bitcoin and blockchain consultant focusing on merchant integration. He is in the process of building a platform for homeowner’s associations and community governance using smart contracts.“Smart contracts can add transparency of funds, voting and help automate CC&Rs, which can in turn alleviate time spent dealing with legal issues.”Smart contracts can also be used to aggregate inputs from various “oracles” and serve as a progress monitor for a real estate transaction. An oracle is a third party that is trusted by the participants in the blockchain. It can be something like a known API or another blockchain. An oracle could track the progress of the assembly of the various executed documents necessary to create a legally enforceable real estate transaction.”THE ADVANTAGES OF A USING SMART CONTACT OVER A TRADITIONAL CONTRACT ARETrustless – The open-source nature of the Smart contracts means that it will execute exactly as the source code dictates. This allows one entity to confidently transact value directly with another entity without relying on a third party to stand between them and ensure that each honours the transaction agreement.Autonomous – A Smart contract exists on a Blockchain where it will self-execute according to the pre-agreed contract conditions without any direct human involvement.Self-sufficient – Smart contracts are stored permanently on a Blockchain where they have all the resources permanently available to them in order to execute and remain in existence. Once published a smart contract becomes irrefutable, irreversible and unalterable. This means that all participates have very high confidence in execution surety of the process.5. EXPERIENCEBlockchain technology provides a better opportunity for more accurate tracking of customers and owners histories, across borders and banks, reducing the risk of defaulters. Blockchain technology can contain a huge amount of data, including entire contracts. The impact of “smart contracts” will have a profound impact. Smart contracts eliminate the middleman, such as a legal firm, as payment will happen based on certain milestones being met. By its very nature, the smart contract is easily enforceable electronically, creating a powerful escrow by taking it out of the control of a single party.CONCLUSIONThe transformation is not going to happen overnight. Blockchain technology is still very early (Think internet in the 90’s), and it will take the examples of forward-thinking real estate firms to lead the way and convince the masses that blockchain is the correct path to take.

What could do the Democratic Party do to best ensure they end up with the political victory from the January 2019 government shu
They’ll have to get a clip on Fox News that basically tells the truth.There is no “crisis” at the border having to do with drug dealers and terrorists. The problems they are currently experiencing are of Homeland Security’s own making.A “wall” hasn’t even been designed.Democrats could drive home the fact that the real crisis is in the 800.000 households that aren’t being financially propped up with federal wages.They could point out that most drugs and “illegals” coming from Mexico, come through ports of entry in semis and in cars. (That is by the government’s own official figures.) And that most drugs and “illegals” are not Mexican and come by container and by plane.Trump is asking for $5 billion of over $25 billion for an installation which is totally undefined. One day it’s concrete, another day it’s steel, sometimes Pence or Mulvaney will say parts of it will be electronic. In other words, Trump wants $5 billion unassigned money to do with what he wants. This is much like when he went public with his casinos. That time, he made the business look much more valuable than it was, sold stock in it (raising capital) and then, as CEO, wrote himself a check for an $89 million dollar salary and, shortly afterwards, left investors and the underlying mortgages hanging in the wind and over leveraged. Revenues were insufficient to service the underlying debt. ( P.S. The inflated value of the casino was because Fred Trump would, on occasion, sent someone down there with a suitcase of money and buy chips which he then just took back to Fred. When it was time for the final fleecing, Fred cashed in his chips.) He could just as easily do something similar with this money because he has not itemized what he’d spend it for. He could give an architect all $5 billion as a design fee and ask for a 50 percent finder’s fee for all we know.

How to use electronic signature paint?
Here is how to use electronic signature paint:
1. Get started in this tutorial, and follow all steps.
2. Take your digital signature and print it on a piece of paper, paper that is not too thick. You can use a regular paper for that. We recommend paper with the same color as your skin, as it will ensure that your signature will be easy to see. If your signature does not fit on your paper, it will be very difficult to see on it.
3. Get a paint marker. You would be surprised how much this costs, and for good reasons. We've found cheap paint markers at local craft shops. If you can't make these yourself, then get a good brand like Tacky or Wet N' Wild. You can buy these at local craft stores, or you can buy them online. We buy ours at , where it costs just $ for a ounce bottle.
4. After you've purchased and used a paint marker, take that paint marker to a surface that is not too slick for ink to adhere to, and lightly paint your digital signature onto it. This will not be too messy, and it is a good idea to paint lightly, since the thicker the paint, the more ink that will be needed.
5. Place your signature on the paper that you want your digital signature on, such as a piece of newspaper.
6. Using the tip of the paint marker, apply very light pressure to the paper with a very light stroke. The lighter your stroke, the harder it will be to see. You want it to be very lightly brushed, without the brush leaving any ink on the paper.
7. Remove the paper from the paper hol...
How do i electronically sign a pdf with ip address?
The instructions below show how to sign a pdf using a digital signing service.
When you sign a pdf using a digital signing service:
The pdf is signed, in the same way as a signature, using public/private key cryptography.
The digital signature of the pdf is stored on a server somewhere.
The signature cannot be altered after the pdf is digitally signed.
How do i digitally sign a pdf using google?
First, make sure you have signed a pdf using public/private key cryptography. Once you have verified you have the key, you can start the script.
If everything above checks out, you're probably looking at the right answer, and you don't need to read on.
The script downloads the google doc you signed using the service above and saves it as a .pdf file somewhere. The script then runs the 'sign-pdf' task as specified in the Google signing service instructions above.
How do i verify that my signature is correct by looking at the contents of the pdf?
The contents of the pdf aren't really that important, as long as your signature is correct, the pdf is a valid pdf, and the pdf is signed by someone with a known ip address.
The contents of the pdf might make a big difference if you want to verify that your signature was made by someone else, or that someone else didn't sign the pdf. To check this, you can run the script again with the 'verify' parameter set to true:
python -c 'import gs (path to a PDF): print((path))' verify
