Search eSignature Form Fast

Building trust with technology isn’t quite as easy as falling backward into someone’s arms. Unless you have a technical background, cybersecurity can be difficult to grasp.Most people are comfortable with ink signatures, but it’s a common misconception that just because a document has been signed with ink, it’s safe, secure and valid. In fact, without physically meeting and talking with the signer.For example, if you’ve never seen the signer’s signature before, how do you know it is actually their signature? If you know what the signature is supposed to look like, how do you know the one in front of you wasn't forged? And if the signature is on the last page of a multi-page document, how do you know that something in the preceding pages was not altered after the document was signed?The reality of e-signatures – especially independent e-signatures, in which the evidence of their validity is embedded in the signed document – is that they are more trustworthy than traditional ink signatures.Offer Transparency and ControlIn the same way, building trust means providing all the facts. If signers have access to the entire signing process from a comprehensive audit trail, they’re able to keep close watch over their transaction and its process from identity authentication to opening and reviewing documents to signing.Use Trusted TechnologyPeople trust those who are trustworthy. Companies that use e-signature technology that goes above and beyond security requirements will naturally win over the trust.Educate DownstreamNo matter how many thousands of dollars e-signatures will save your company, for an e-signature solution to be successful at every level, you must educate everyone involved in the importance your e-signature provider places on security and independence.

First things first, from all the tools I use, I’m listing a few that save me an immense amount of time. Thus helping me focus on things that matter. Here goes my list:Pocket - A handy tool to save useful links. After a while, my bookmarks are just unorganised and Pocket made it simple to save links. I could save everything in one place and hence retrieval is easy. Also, If I ever come across something during work that might be a distraction, I Pocket it and read it later.Buffer - Primarily I use this to manage posts and content from our SM handles. I schedule posts at one time and never have to look at it again. This saves a lot of time as I can dedicatedly work on the content and push them to the pipeline.LearnBee - (Disclaimer: my team built it and I use it every day). I use it to find a specific work file quickly or to attach multiple work files in an email or to search for a file to show to the team during a meeting. The Chrome extension just saves me an immense amount of time, which I otherwise waste searching for a file.Jira and Trello - Both of these tools help me individually as well as my team to prioritize, organise and complete tasks in a better and efficient way.

The main form of modern air combat has evolved from close-range combat to BVR combat nowadays. During the Gulf War, BVR air-to-air missile shot down more aircraft than close-range air-to-air missile, and air combat wins in several local warfare later were mostly attributed to BVR air-to-air missile.To excel in Beyond Visual Range air combat a fighter must be well-armed and equipped with capable avionics. It must be able to fly high and fast to impart the maximum range to its missiles, allowing them to hit the enemy before he is even aware of their presence. The aircraft must give its crews sufficient situational awareness not to shoot their friends down, and be easy to operate so it can deploy its weapons quickly and accurately.If specifications and Technical details are the mode of comparison , since there is no one - to - one combact conflict in which Sweeden SAAB JAS 39 SMART Fighter came across Russian Flankers, then Gripen NG (a smaller Agile Lethal csot effective bird Gripen E which is a scaled-up version of the C ) can Hold well against Su 27 & Su 30 Variants - Unit Costs reported at 70 - 90 M US$ and Flying Hourly cost 9,000 USD ; Gripen C or E costs less say 50 to 70 M US$ with operating costs around 5,000 USD per hour.Realising the fact that Sukhois are used for Long Range strikes and Air superiority Roles flying for over 35 years (Su 27 did Cobra moves in 1989) ;where as Gripen is a Single Engine Light, Multi Role even SWING ROLE , Smaller Range , can operate from Roads and small runways - A respectable but under rated jet in operation for 18 - 20 years. Export numbers will increase for an Under Dog Gripen , as it took many years for Rafale and F-16s to gain the market attraction.Its E - Variant is a plane built around ACTIVE STEALTH and Electronic Warfare - Arguably its most important attribute is the innovative concept applied in the design of its Systems Architecture, in which flight-critical components are segregated from mission systems. This partition permits the insertion of new mission capabilities without the need for expensive and time-consuming requalification of flight-critical aspects. As a direct result, technology and weapons updates can be inserted rapidly as they emerge, and on a rolling basis.A detailed read on Gripen SMART FIGHTER is belowZeeshan Syed's answer to Who would win in a battle between the JAS-39 Gripen and the F-16 Fighting Falcon?Has a new and more powerful engine, improved range performance and the ability to carry greater payloads. It also has a new AESA-radar, InfraRed Search and Track system, highly advanced Communication systems together with superior situational awareness. The Lightning II JSF F -35 & Gripen - E redefine Multi Role Air power for the 21st century by extending operational capabilities.Gripen ELength over all 15.2 meters ; Width over all 8.6 metersSingle Engine General Electric’s (GE) F414G turbofan engine rated at 22,000lb (98kN) with new six-stage, high-pressure compressorRCS 0.1 to 0.2 m2.Maximum take off weight 16500 kgMaximum speed Mach 2Hardpoints 1027mm all-purpose Mauser BK27 high velocity gunFitted with R-Darter and Derby ; Meteor & IRIS - TCombat turn around air-to-air 10 minutesMin. take-off distance 500 mLanding distance 600 mAir-to-air refuelling YesThe world war heroics of Dog fights , with 20 mm Guns, Canons and Rocket fires are gone . Now the Trench War requuirements demand a Multi Roke Fighter with Range , Depth , BVR capability and Early Detection of enemy through powerful AESA Radar - Early strike capability. Hence its not a typical David vs Golliath - But in Sword vs Shield scenarion , Sukhois are Swords and Gripen being Shields..Sukhoi 27 & 30 will be more prone to be easily detectable due to shear size and lack of semi stealth with higher heat signatures. The Gripen has a radar cross section RCS between 0.1 – 0.5 sqm, because Gripen is a small fighter. “Delta - Canard config” design of Gripen makes it more …Agile & Manoeuvreable..2. In Long range AIR DOMINANCE missions , Sukhoi 27 / 30 Will outrun and out perform Grippen and many others.3. In High Tech gadgets & Electronic Warfare , SAAB Gripen with Advanced AESA radar SELEX RAVEN ES-05, sensor fusion, EW-suite, very advanced link-system - beats Sukhoi 27 / 30 using A Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) N011M passive electronically scanned array radar . SAAB Grippen being a network Centric jet communicating with AWE&C , Freindly jets , Other Gripens and having 2 way link with METEOR presents a modern day fighter with 4.5 Gen capabilities. Its advanced Avionics and FBW systems may remain up to date for next 02 decades …!4. In BVR , Gripen holds its own not only agsinst Sukhoi 27 / 30 and evn Su 35 , but against many other fighters. It uses IRST & Meteor : Beyond Visual Range BVRAAM Air to Air with Active Radar Guidance, which are far superior to Sukhois using AA - 11 ARCHER , AA - 8 APHID , Kh-59M …5. Gripen is ‘Maintenance friendly’ especially from Engine point of view and requires 15 minutes of change over time to get going in the air again ;Compared to Sukhois 27 / 30 who had persistent engine bearing and lubrication problems in dusty subcontinental weather, and 50–55% operational readiness in numbers.MBDA Meteor of Gripen offers a multi-shot capability against long range manoeuvring targets, jets, UAVs and cruise missiles in a Loaded Electronic Counter Measure environment , called ECM. It has range well in excess of 100 kilometres . Meteor can be launched as a stealth missile. It is equipped with enhanced kinematics features. It is capable of striking different types of targets simultaneously in almost any weather.Meteor’s stunning performance is achieved through its unique ramjet propulsion system – solid fuel, variable flow, ducted rocket. This ‘ramjet’ motor provides the missile with thrust all the way to target intercept, providing the largest No-Escape Zone of any air-to-air missile. Many air forces have trained for years in tactics to counter AMRAAM, but few know much about how to respond to the vast No Escape Zone of Meteor. This combined with a two-way datalink (allowing assets other than the firer to communicate with the missile), the aircraft’s low radar signature, and the Gripen’s pilot’s superb situational awareness makes the small Swedish fighter a particularly nasty threat to potential enemies.____________________________________________________________________________________Sukhoi Su 57 & Su 35s E - Super Flankers - are upgraded Flankers and yes they can perform to the level of Gripen E or overpower it with skilled operator . (Su 57 PAKFA Stealth Jet still in Prototype stage with Funding and Engine issues holding it back).SUPER FLANKER Su - 35S is the most capable version built to date. In the right hands—with properly trained pilots and support from ground controllers or an AWACS—the Su-35 is an extremely formidable threat to every Western fighter save for the F-22 Raptor. The kanAPPO bearing No Canards (additional small wings on the forward fuselage) posses the unmatched Power of THRUST VECTORING ENGINES with 2.3 Mach speed, with 14 (Yes Fourteen) Hard points for Weapons…! Su 35 is a Long Range 3,600 kms - 18,000 meters Ceiling , 280 Mps Rate of Climb , TWR 1.13 - It can also be retro-fitted to carry long range anti ship BrahMos missile as well as the much longer range AA-10 (R-27) Alamo missiles. The Irbis E Radar can detect a target with RCS of 3 m^2 from 400 km maximum. It can track 30 targets & engage 8 at a time. Peak output: 20 kW. It has much improved Avionics, SAP-518 wing top Pods, SAP-14 center line pod , IRST OLS-35 electro optical system with a Laser range finder - effective upto 20 km for Air targets. and a combat radius of up to 4000 Km. AL-41 engines on the Su 35 have a life of close to 4000 Hours.One ace the Su-35 has in its sleeve is the inclusion of the R-27T medium range infra-red guided missile (seen on aircraft deployed to Syria) – which is potentially effective against low radar cross section aircraft and has no American equivalent.Detailed read on Super Flanker Su 35SZeeshan Syed's answer to Why does Russia's Air Force still produce Su-30, if they already have many Su-35? Isn't the Su-35 superior in all aspects?The only thing missing was perhaps the ability to Super cruise—perform sustained supersonic flight @. Mach 1.2 - 1.7 Range without using Rejeat After Burners—while loaded for combat.In modern day engagements in the visual arena with high off-bore sight weapons and helmet mounted sights - make it very difficult to accurately predict a clear cut winner — in fact any aircraft may lose in this environment! So Gripens may be dubbed as Flanker Killers , They may be well advised to stay away from Su - 35 S Super Flanker E …

Science does not operate on a 'proof' model, it is a falsification model where the hypothesis that is best supported by mountains of evidence and not falsified are promoted to Scientific Theory status.Here are just a tiny few of the many tens of thousands of studies that support Evolutionary theory - each such paper contains a record of the scientific methodology applied and the scientific evidence produced so it can be challenged or reproduced by other researchers.Theobald, D.

There are many advantages of e-procurement and few of, according to me, highlighted below.1. it saves time for both buyer and bidder as e-procurement can be access from anywhere and so, physical movement is not required.2. it is also convenient to both buyer and bidder as it is again accessible from everywhere since it is available in the electronic form.3. it keeps transparency which benefited both buyers to get best rates and vendor to get fair opportunity to work.4. A buyer gets good competitions as on electronic procurement any vendor can participate in the tender.5. A vendor can also get many opportunities related to their business as they can search and find appropriate opportunity related to their business.6. it also gives automated prepared report generated from a system which no one can challenge, and so everyone believes it.7. It is very secure as some e-procurement system uses the encryption-decryption system for their commercial proposal of a bid by using digital signature certificate (DSC) which near to break it or hack it. So it is very secure.8. Buyer (Govt. dept.) can work fast, and so helps to society as most of govt. work can be done by a tender process which is moving on the electronic form.so there are many advantages but above are a key one for me.

I had my class 2 medical assessment done in Kolkata last year-which I cleared with ease-and I would love to share my experience.The entire process takes a lot of time, which ensures a very long answer, but with that being said I can promise you with all the minor details, be patient and have a good read. But first some common questions which most people may ask in the comments and I won't be available to reply for another 1 year.When to apply?The best time is to apply a year before you plan to start flying. That means you must apply for it during your summer vacations if you plan to start f...
