3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines

3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines Article by Todd DuncanTime is yur greatest resource. If you struggle with managing it, you likely have not yet harnessed the power of daily disciplines.As the biblical book of Proverbs says, He who neglects discipline despises himself. The most powerful decision you will ever make for your productivity is the choice to build rhythm and know-how around doing what matters most. When you do that, you feel good about yourself and can achieve at a higher level. Being a high performer is the result of your daily disciplines.Time Management Is a Waste of TimeFor most people, time management is like raking water lots of activity, limited results. We are limited not by time, but by how we use the time we have. Time management is life management. Time management is values management. Time management is activity management. You and I will never be clever enough to control our time, but we can choose the eventsto which we al locate our time. When those events are repeated through daily discipline, our productivity soars, our spirits are enlarged, and we develop unstoppable determination.3 Keys to Developing Daily Disciplines Key No. 1 Clarify Your ValuesIf you dont know what is important to you, you will spend time doing what is not.When you know what is important and commit to those things as must-dos, you create the ecosystem for a more effective use of your time.When your activities are in alignment with what is significant to you, you suddenly know inner peace. High levels of inner peace reduce stress,calming you throughout your day. We all need a full grasp of those things that mean the most to us. I suggest we spend at least 15 minutes a day in a quiet state of mind to see how we can discover fulfillment in any of our important value areas.There is a saying, often attributed to Roy Disney, brother of Walt When values are clear, decisions are easy.Deciding what to do with your time should be easy i f you are clear on your values and spend time reviewing them on a daily basis. Knowing your values also helps you frame what not to do, which may be even more critical to your performance. Once your value areas are clear, you can move from behavior to habit.Key No. 2 Block the TimeBefore a habit is formed, you must commit to repeated behavior. To create rhythm and routine is to decide in advance what your day and week will look like and then discipline yourself to live accordingly. The discipline comes from your values and living in accordance with them.Managing time is not about post-it notes. Its not scribbled to-do lists. Its definitely not being connected all day long with unvetted technology. Effective time blocking and blocking interruptions that mess up those time blocks is the key.Time blocks are planned segments of time that help you complete your most important predetermined activities. They are, at their core, disciplines that lead to achievement. They are nonnegotiable s.For example, I have a Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morning discipline of riding my bike 50 miles. My wife, Deb, and I have a Sunday night debrief where we get to tell each other what we did well over the previous week and plan accordingly for the upcoming week. Every day between 1000 a.m. and 1100 a.m., I call three decision-makers to connect, add value, and advance relationships.Key No. 3 Form the HabitsWhy arent people as productive as they might be? Mostly because they miss the difference between trying to be productive and committing to being productive. Habits are only formed when the behavior attempted becomes permanent.Here are some ideas to help you stay focused on forming the habit of honoring your daily disciplines Be proactiveEveryone who moves toward a more productive life does not wait for life to come at them. They go out and make it happen. They know that everything has a proactive solution. You can hope that life will get better for as long as you like, but unless you do something to back up those hopes, littlewill change. Change must come from within. Heres a great question If you continue on the path you are now on, will your life improve and take you to the level of your dreams? Life will give you what you tolerate and accept Fight multitasking Multitasking is the fast track to low performance. It gets in the way of your greatness No one has everhad amanager congratulate them for being busy. The key question is Busy doing what? High-performance people are not busy they are productive. Rather than multitasking, they master the species of one-thing thinking. According to a Harvard Business Review article, multitasking can cut productivity by as much as 40 percent and IQ by 10 points Moreover, according to aUniversity of California, Irvine, study, it takes 23 minutes to get back on track following an interruption. Practice The Five-Minute Rule I learned an amazingly powerful discipline when I was 23 years old. I call it The Five-Minute Rule. I was studying high-performance salespeople and was reading an article about an insurance agent who was makingmore than $1 million a year in sales commissions. He was asked, What is the best advice you could give any salesperson? He said, Spend five minutes every hour evaluating how the last 55 minutes went, and correct. Once I started using this rule, Iwas able to identify all the things getting in the way of my productivity. I learned how to fix and manage interruptions. I learned how to say no, which is the most powerful word when it comes to being productive. Within a year, I had increased my income by more than 400 percent.Whether you are doing business, living life, or both, the most important truth is your life will be defined by your daily disciplines. The choices you make,the impact you have, and the results you achieve your entire destiny itsall in your disciplines.A version of this article originally appeared on SUCCESS.com.Todd Duncan is a sales entrepreneur and game-c hanging speaker withmore than 5 million students around the globe whom he has mentored and taught in life, time, and sales mastery.

no one is reading my resumes skills section

no one is reading my resumes skills section no one is reading my resumes skills section A reader writesI was wondering what your thoughts are in general on having a skills section on resumes. Ive seen pretty ambiguous skills sometimes, but I only list concrete technical skills, e.g. video editing with Adobe Premiere, NOT things like engages with industry influencers. For me especially, I thought it would be helpful because my skills are sometimes useful in my field, but Ive only been doing them outside of paid work. But Im wondering if a skills section dont carry real weight with interviewers, or if the work history section totally overshadows it.I ask because at the last few interviews I went to, it turned out they actually wanted some with a skill of mine but when I reminded them that I had that skill, their response was, Oh you do? like they hadnt even noticed. Ive even been telling a project management story in my titelblatt letter about the time one of these skills came in han dy, so Im wondering how they can learn enough to bring me in for an interview but totally blow past the fact that Ive been doing exactly the special thing they wanted. I was at one today and the interviewer threw it out there wistfully, like it was pie in the sky she wouldnt be able to find We have so many promo clips to edit for the webpage. It would be SO nice to get a chocolate teapot crafter who could edit video, but I mean, what are the chances that someone knows how to craft chocopots AND edit video?Do I need to move the Skills section to the top of my resume? Do I need to make it bigger? Does it have to live strictly in my cover letter from now on because interviewers just dont care about stuff beyond job history descriptions? Or should I not sweat it because it keeps turning out to be a nachschlag skill rather than the meat of the job?Yeah, I think a lot of people just arent bothering to read that section or retain it, largely because so many peoples skills sections are tot ally useless (listing things that are a given in their field, like Word, or listing ridiculous subjective self-assessments like strong communication skills, works well in groups and independently, and other useless proclamations).I wouldnt move the section or make it bigger. Instead, if the stuff youre including in there is integral to what you want to convey about yourself as a candidate, find a way to include it in the work section, which is really the most important part of your resume and your candidacy. For instance, instead of listing video editing in your skills section, talk about it in a bullet point under the jobs where you edited videos. Doing thatwill also allow you frame it in terms of what accomplished with the skill, instead of just noting the skill itself and thats always better and more convincing.

Break Into The Hidden Job Market Easily

Break Into The Hidden Job Market EasilyBreak Into The Hidden Job Market EasilyI just received a fantastic question from a jobseeker, A company Im interested in is getting ready to start building the corporate offices about 2 miles from my home. It is a massive project and something my construction management skills might be well suited for. Any ideas how to get in the door?Well, fancy that you should ask, because yes, in fact, I do have several ideas on how to get in the door. Lets talk about how to break into the hidden job market the right way.First of all, why is this a hidden job market opportunity at all? The reason is this the job is not advertised. The candidate did not come across it online (where 1,000) of his closest competitors also saw it the same moment he did. Rather, he learned of the opportunity just by knowing his neighborhood.Theres a lesson for you there become aware of whats going on around you. Whether thats a stones throw from your front door, or a 15-20 mile ra dius from your home, get your finger on the pulse of what is happening in your local market. Use search-based Internet research and gather your local newspapers to keep up on business news whos coming into the market, whos building a new division, and whos launching a new product.So, what are the best strategies to take advantage of this opportunity?1) Build a list of companies youre interested in.Once youve conducted your research to identify the movers and shakers in your city or town, build a targeted list of companies. 10 should be the nadir the most successful candidates make a list of 30. By doing so, youre upgrading from job search to company search.The difference is important. A job search is finite if you apply for that opportunity and dont get it, its over. Not so with a company search. There are numerous opportunities to potentially uncover within the organization as a whole.2) Use LinkedIn advanced search.You need to make LinkedIn advanced search your new best friend. Th ere are numerous options you can select in order to narrow down your findings to the company, location, and individual(s) you need. Initiate LinkedIn connections with the HR specialists, recruiters, and relevant functional decision makers the people who would like be your bosses. For example, if youre an IT manager, identify the Director, IT and VP, IT as functional decision makers with whom you need to connect.3) Send a short, value-laden note.This is going to be short and sweet. Indicate that you came across their organization and see they are involved in A, B and C. Your expertise is X, Y and Z, which youre thinking constitutes a solid fit. Ask if that person is willing to hop on the phone with you for 5 minutes this week.Thats it.Now, keep your expectations realistic. Will you hit a home run every single time? No. Will you do so some of the time yes. What about if you dont do this strategy at all? Then the answer is 100% no.The jobseekers that step forward, reach out, and make connections with new people are the ones who succeed time and again. Make sure to put yourself in the category of people who graduated from job seeking to employed.

How to Find a Work-From-Home Job

How to Find a Work-From-Home Job How to Find a Work-From-Home Job Its the dream of every exhausted professional: keep the paycheck, and the career advancement, but lose the expensive and tiresome commute. If youd just as soon do your job in your pajamas- or, at any rate, far from the madding crowds of the cubicle farm there are several solid options for making your work-at-home career blossom. Heres how to get started. 1. Negotiate With Your Boss Many of todays jobs require only an internet connection and maybe a phone line. If your present gig is one of these, you might be able to talk your manager into allowing you to work at home on a full- or part-time basis. The best way to do this is to demonstrate that letting you do your job from a home office will benefit the company. Focus your argument on the productivity gains, and therefore the money the company stands to earn. Be prepared to back up your claims with real numbers, hopefully with dollar signs in front of them. Your case will be stronger if youre able to demonstrate your ability to get stuff done while outside the office. If youre already allowed to work at home on an occasional basis, be sure to put in your very best work whenever youre having a work-at-home day. If your manager and colleagues have to go looking for you during your WAH, itll be hard to persuade them that you can be trusted with a more permanent arrangement. 2. Look Online If the job you have doesnt lend itself to working from home, or youre in the market for a new job altogether, take a look at one of the many online job search sites that allow you to search just for work-from-home opportunities. Monster, Craigslist, and CareerBuilder all have searchable listings that you can filter with keywords like work from home or work at home or freelance. In addition, specialty job sites like FlexJobs allow you to search vetted banks of telecommuting, freelance, and a part-time work (generally, for a fee). If you go it on your own, just be sure to avoid scams. The old adage is true: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Other warning signs of internet job scams include outrageously high pay, vague job descriptions or titles, or people contacting you out of the blue via email with any of the above. Finally, never, ever give anyone your bank account information, credit card number, or any identifying personal information that could help someone steal your cash or worse, your identity. Work-from-home scammers often try to sell their victims a kit to help them get started, but the best-case scenario is that youll waste your money. 3. Focus on Companies or Specific Jobs So no, youre probably not going to make six figures stuffing envelopes or processing rebates. But you can make a decent living working at home by using the resources described above, or looking specifically at companies which feature a large number of work-from-home positions or by investigating career paths that lend themselves to telecommuting. One such job is working for closed captioning services.  There are also work-from-home computer jobs that dont require a great deal of experience.

Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace

Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace Things to Consider When Developing a Drug-Free Workplace In a drug-free workplace, the employer has taken steps and initiated policies to ensure that employees, vendors, and customers are not: taking or using alcohol or drugs,selling drugs, oraffected by the after-effects of indulging in alcohol or drugs outside of the workplace during non-work time. Additionally, the goal of a drug-free workplace program, as they have traditionally been developed, is to encourage an employee with a substance abuse problem to seek treatment, recover, and return to work. Sobriety programs were initiated as early as 1914 by the Ford Motor Company and have taken many shapes and forms over the years. The concept of a drug-free workplace began when Ronald Reagan signed into law Executive Order 12564 that banned the use of drugs both on and off duty for federal employees. It resulted in the Drug-free Workplace Act of 1988. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Drug-Free Workplace Programs, Today, the concept of a Drug-Free Workplace has become the norm with large and medium-size employers. Efforts are continually made by Federal, State, and civic and community organizations to bring the Drug-Free Workplace experience to a greater percentage of smaller employers. Interested in the impact of alcohol and drug use in your workplace? These statistics about alcohol and drug use should catch your attention. As you consider whether a drug-free workplace program is appropriate and needed in your workplace, these are the reasons for having a drug-free workplace program. I have also included the main reason why employees object to a drug-free workplace program. Finally, I have listed the components of a successful drug-free workplace program. Why Establish a Drug-free Workplace Program? You will want to consider setting up a drug-free workplace program for these reasons. You value the health and safety of all of your employees. You are concerned that any employee who may be working under the influence of alcohol or drugs could injure himself or another employee.You are concerned about the impact of unhealthy lifestyle choices on medical and insurance costs for your business.You believe that alcohol or drug impairment impacts all aspects of an employee’s life negatively. These negative impacts, such as broken families, cannot help but flow over into the workplace and manifest as absenteeism, lower productivity, and damaged relationships. You believe that the productivity of any worker who is impaired at work is negatively impacted.For some industries and jobs, drug-free workplace programs are mandated.In some industries, especially when products are easily stolen and sold, substance abusers may account for a large portion of product loss.Finally, you want to send a powerful message to all employees about behavior that is and is not supported at work. Your non-abusing employees deserve this support. What Constitutes a Comprehensive Drug-free Workplace Program? An effective drug-free workplace program shares the characteristics that most effective workplace initiatives share. Workplace efforts that yield results provide: Active, visible leadership and support by the managers and other company leaders;Clearly written policies and procedures that are publicized, trained, and uniformly applied to all employees; with well-trained managers, supervisors, union representatives, and Human Resources staff who understand their roles, rights, and responsibilities;Involvement from a cross-section of employees from across the company and union involvement, in a represented workplace, in the development of the policy and program; Additional training for employees in the dangers of alcohol and drug abuse;Methods of assistance for employees who voluntarily admit they have a substance abuse problem;Access to substance abuse treatment and follow-up for employees who have been identified as having problems;Clearly stated policies about the disciplinary action that will be taken if an employee, with a problem that is impacting the workplace or whose actions are in violation of the workplace policies, fails to obtain help; andWays to identify people with alcohol, drug, or other substance abuse problems, including drug testing. The goal of a drug-free workplace program is to provide the opportunity for the employee to obtain treatment, overcome their substance abuse issues, and return to work. With some attention to these measures, you can establish and promote a healthy, drug-free workplace for all of your employees. The Downside to a Drug-free Workplace Program The major downside to a drug-free workplace program is that employees object to the random drug testing component that is present in most programs. Employers who choose to execute the drug testing component need to be sensitive to the fact that most employees consider drug testing as intrusive and evidence of a lack of employer trust. Opponents of drug testing believe that non-substance abusers are subjected to ill-treatment because of the actions of a few employees.Employees may feel their privacy is being invaded and that what they do outside of work is not their employer’s business.Failing a drug test does not mean that the employee was impaired at work, just that they used a substance within the time parameters that the test checked. Again, the use could have had no impact on their work performance whatsoever.Employees fear that the off-work use of drugs or alcohol may bring the same consequences to an employee as would be applied to an employee who abused substances on the job. Opponents of drug testing believe that while there are Federal regulations for drug testing, there are hundreds of state and local jurisdictions that do not regulate or oversee the methods employers use for drug testing. Consequently, if you do make random drug testing a part of your drug-free workplace program, make sure you treat your employees with dignity and respect and honor their privacy. Consult with legal experts to ensure your compliance with state, Federal, and international workplace laws. Heed also the fact that medical marijuana usage is increasing and becoming legal in many jurisdictions. The drug testing policy should specify the type of drug testing used, the frequency of the drug testing, and the names of the substances for which the employee will be tested. The drug testing policy should provide fair and consistent methods for employee selection for drug testing.

Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark

Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark Swiss Funicular Named as an ASME Landmark The Giessbach Funicular, the first single-track cable car for use on steep inclines, was designated as ASME's 259th Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark at a ceremony at the Grandhotel Giessbach in Brienz, Switzerland, on Aug. 27. Last month, the Giessbach Funicular, the first single-track cable car for use on steep inclines, became ASME’s 259th Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The vehicle was designated as an ASME landmark during a special ceremony on Aug. 27 at the Grandhotel Giessbach in Brienz, Switzerland, where the funicular is still used to transport passengers up and down the 330-foot slope between the Alpine resort and Lake Brienz. The Giessbach Funicular was the fourth ASME landmark to be designated in Switzerland, following the designations of the Neuchâtel Gas Turbine in 1988, the Paddle Steamer Uri in 1998, and the Pilatusbahn rack railway in 2002. The ceremony in Brienz was attended by a contingent of ASME leaders, including ASME President Julio C. Guerrero; Larry Lee, past chair of the ASME History and Heritage Committee; Jaroslaw Szwedowicz, chair of ASMEs Switzerland Section; Francesco Alicino, chair of the Italy Section; and Hans Wettstein, the landmarks nominator. (Left to right) ASME President Julio Guerrero, Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation, and Roman Codina, general manager, Grandhotel Giessbach, at the unveiling of the ASME landmark plaque. (Photo by Wil Haywood, ASME Public Information) Designed by Carl Roman Abt and built in 1879, the Giessbach Funicular employed a single track with a short passing track at the half-way point that allowed the two cars to pass each other. The passing track used turnouts with no moving parts also known as Abt switches for safe and reliable operation. Wheels with outside flanges on one car and inside flanges on the other guided the cars through the turnout and around one another. The mid-way turnout allowed for the systems single-track construction, which reduced the size of the track structure and made the Giessbach Funicular more economical than earlier funiculars that operated on two tracks. The Giessbach Funicular, which is still in operation, carries passengers up and down the 330-foot slope between the Alpine resort and Lake Brienz. During the presentation of the ASME landmark plaque, President Guerrero noted that the Giessbach Funicular opened just seven months before ASME was founded in early 1880, during a period known as the Belle Epoch - an era of peace and prosperity in Western Europe that was also considered the second wave of the Industrial Revolution. The funicular at the Grandhotel Giessbach has enchanted visitors to Brienz for 136 years, Guerrero said. While it is known as a luxury attraction to one of the most charming spots on Earth, this funicular is not well known in the public eye as an extraordinary engineering achievement that merits landmark status. ASME is pleased to bring this technology to the attention of the world as a product of mechanical engineering. Participants at the landmark designation ceremony for the Giessbach Funicular included (left to right) Peter Abt, descendant of Abt switch engineer Carl Roman Abt; Hans Wettstein, landmark nominator; ASME President Julio Guerrero; Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation; Roman Codina, general manager, Grandhotel Giessbach; Jaroslaw Szwedowicz, chair of ASME's Switzerland Section; and Larry Lee, past chair of the ASME History and Heritage Committee. (Photo by Wil Haywood, ASME Public Information) In addition to the representatives from ASME, other participants at the ceremony included Peter Abt, descendant of Giessbach Funicular designer Carl Roman Abt; Roman Codina, general manager of the Grandhotel Giessbach; and Vera Weber, president of the Franz Weber Foundation.

4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting

4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting 4 Red Flags to Pay Attention to While Job Hunting The job search process is as much a way for the applicant to see if he wants to work for a company as it is a chance for companies to see if they want to hire him. Just like the interviewer can't find out everything he'd like about the person he's interviewing, the candidate can't predict for sure whether he'll be happy in the position. Keeping an eye out for a few red flags may be helpful. 1. Lack of preparation during the interview. It's a bad sign when the job applicant shows that he or she is unprepared during an interview, but the same can be said of hiring managers. If a candidate is kept waiting long after his scheduled interview time; is told at the last minute or repeatedly that the company needs to reschedule the meeting; or discovers that the interviewer was unprepared or inattentive during the meeting, the applicant may start to wonder if the company is similarly disorganized in other aspects. 2. Negative impressions of company culture during the interview. An interview provides applicants with the chance to enter their prospective office and get a glimpse of the employer's company culture. The candidate can observe if employees are interacting with each other and working collaboratively or if there is little talk in the office and most people keep to themselves and work independently. The candidate can also get a gut feeling of the office atmosphere by observing whether workers appear rushed and stressed or, on the other extreme, appear to be wasting time and doing little productive work. These glimpses can tell the candidate a lot about what he can expect if he is hired, and whether he'll feel comfortable with the company culture. 3. Low salary relative to job description. A low salary for a job description that includes numerous responsibilities and a hefty workload and requires ample experience isn't only a problem because it makes it more difficult to pay the bills - it's a sign of how the company values its workers. 4. High turnover. If the last few people to hold the job quit after just a few months, the candidate can reasonably expect that the same thing may happen to him. A high turnover rate indicates that the company offers jobs, but not necessarily careers, and is fairly comfortable with frequently replacing its workers rather than investing in them.   Published Courtesy of Brafton

Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service

Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service Top Resume Tips from the #1 Resume Writing Service As a top resume writing service, ResumeSpice understands that unless you’re a pro at writing resumes, then you probably dread the process. Not to worry. You’re certainly not alone. It seems like in today’s competitive job market, one wrong word choice or small mistake on your resume could potentially cost you the job offer. But, here’s the good news: there are some top resume tips you can put to use today to improve your resume and stand out in a sea of other job candidates. To help you, here are five of them: Tip #1: Make your resume easy to read. You can have all the experience in the world. But if your resume is verbose and convoluted, it’s not going to get read. Keep in mind that hiring managers only scan resumes for a few seconds. That’s why you need to make it as easy as possible for them to read at-a-glance the important details of yours. You can do this with the right formatting â€" boldface, bullet points, a professional-looking font, and plenty of white space. Tip #2: Focus on accomplishments. Another top resume tip? Focus on accomplishments. Hiring managers don’t need to know so much that you were responsible for answering phones and responding to emails. Instead, they want to know the impact your work performance had in the company, your colleagues, your manager, and the bottom line. So, anytime you can, quantify your accomplishments with numbers and always talk about the effect you had. For instance, rather than just saying you “answered the phone,” instead say: “Answered service calls and worked with customers to resolve issues in a timely manner to their complete satisfaction.” Tip #3: Customize your resume. You can create one overall resume. But, if you want the best resume â€" and the best results â€" you should always customize it to the particular position and company. For instance, you might include certain responsibilities and achievements that are highly relevant for one employer, but not another. If you list a summary of qualifications, you can also re-order it so the attributes that are most important to each individual employer are listed at the top. Tip #4: Don’t include irrelevant information. When it comes to your resume, another top resume writing tip is that you don’t need to include information about hobbies.

Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu

Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu Learn About the Early History of Forensic Science Hsi Duan Yu Today, the word forensics has become synonymous with crime and crime scene investigation. Immediately conjuring images of crime labs, ultraviolet lights, and high-tech computers, popular crimes shows like CSI have brought increased attention to the field of forensic science. Theyve also generated newfound interest in forensics careers. The term forensic comes from the Latin and means, simply, having to do with the law. Hence, any discipline that has any ties to the legal system is, in fact, forensic. This is why so many job titles within criminology, such as forensic psychologist, are preceded by the term. With regard to forensic science, the term is now commonly understood to refer to the application of scientific principles to questions of law. In short, it means using science to solve crime. A New Discipline As ingrained into our criminal justice system as forensic science would seem, the truth is that it is a relatively recent addition, even considering the young history of modern criminology. When In Rome The earliest roots of forensic science as we know it can be found in ancient Greek and Roman society. These western civilizations brought great advances in the medical field as well as pharmacology. Extensive knowledge was developed regarding the production, use, and symptoms of various poisons, making it possible to identify their use in previously undetected murders. Et Tu Brute? The First Autopsy In the year 44 B.C., the Roman physician Antistius examined the body of the recently slain Julius Caesar and determined that, though the dictator was stabbed 23 times, only one wound through his chest caused his actual death. This is widely regarded as the first recorded autopsy. The First Innocence Project Case? Since the Roman model is the basis for our court and legal system today, it is fitting that it also provides the precedence for our interest in applying scientific principles in the examination of evidence. In the first century A.D., the Roman orator and jurist Quintilian was able to show that bloody handprints left at the scene of a murder were meant to frame the defendant, an innocent blind man, for his own mothers murder. As the Roman Empire declined in the west, forensic science remained fairly stagnant for the next millennium, did the applications of criminology and criminal justice. The Beginning of Pathology In thirteenth century China, the book Hsi Duan Yu (The Washing Away of Wrongs) was published and is considered to be the first known guide to pathology. The work describes, among other things, how to determine whether a victim drowned or was strangled as a cause of death. It also detailed how the criminal investigator identified the type of blade used in a murder by examining the corpse and how to determine whether a death was accidental or murder. Scientific Advances Beginning in the seventeenth century, as the age of enlightenment bloomed, advancements in science and the social conscience saw the field of forensic science receive a revitalization of sorts. New appreciation for the application of the scientific method in nearly all inquiries, criminal or otherwise, necessitated new means for identifying and solving crimes. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw an explosion of recorded incidents of the use of scientifically obtained evidence to solve crimes and win convictions. Evidentiary techniques including connecting a piece of crumbled newspaper used for wadding in a pistol to a matching, torn piece of paper in a suspects pocket as well as matching clothing fibers, grains, and footprints to those found on a suspect accused of murdering a young woman. Fingerprinting Perhaps the biggest leap in forensic science, though, came in 1880 with the work of Henry Faulds and William James Herschel, who published a study in the scientific journal Nature that detailed the fact that human fingerprints were unique to individuals and that no two sets were identical. The study garnered tremendous professional support and was accepted as fact in the court system, paving the way for broad use of the identification technique that has become a mainstay in the criminal justice field now for more than a century. A Young But Rich History Though it is a relatively new discipline, forensic science has a rich history and an even richer future. As technological advancements come seemingly every day, a forensic science career is a perfect way to marry a curious mind to a public servants heart.
