Speed skating duo on track to B.C. Winter Games

Two local speed skaters are on the right track to one of the most prestigious competitions in the province.

Two local speed skaters are on the right track to one of the most prestigious competitions in the province.

Twelve-year-old Colin Matthews and 13-year-old Finn Fairbairn, both with the Esquimalt Speed Skating Club, will make their first appearance at the B.C. Winter Games in Penticton in February.

Matthews qualified for the U14 boys team, skating four laps in 50 seconds against other Island skaters, while Fairbairn qualified as his backup in case of injury or illness to represent Vancouver Island along with five other skaters.

Matthews began speed skating five years ago. He was at a Scouts meeting when he saw a team of speed skaters in action.

“The coaches are really nice, going fast is one of my things, that’s one of the reasons I joined,” he said.

Fairbairn laced up his first skates five years ago as well. He was in skating lessons at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre before he took up speed skating.

“I just like to skate really fast so my parents suggested I join speed skating, so I did,” said Fairbairn. “It’s just fun.”

Over the last five years, the duo have been honing their skills on the ice, attending several tournaments in the Lower Mainland to gain competition experience.

Despite their age, the boys show the utmost dedication to the sport, practicing three times a week at the Archie Browning Sports Centre, including a 6 a.m. practice on Saturdays and dry land exercises.

Ian Phillips, president of the Esquimalt Speed Skating Club, said the boys are easy to coach and have progressed significantly within the last year.

Matthews’ strength are his crisp cross overs and leaning in when taking corners, while Fairbairn’s straightaways are powerful.

“They really love the sport. They’re always keen on learning,” said Phillips, who has coached the boys since they took up the sport.

“They’re progressed very well over the last year. They’re getting very fast. It will be a real challenge for them to compete for medals against skaters from the mainland, but I’m sure they’re going to do very well.”

Fairbairn’s goal for the winter games is simple — to get faster.

“Just try to work on my technique and bending over more,” he said. “I’m pretty excited.”

Matthews added he hopes to do his best and keep up with the other skaters.

“If I get first, that’s good,” Matthews said. “I want to keep doing it forever.”

The B.C. Winter Games run from Feb. 25 to 28 in Penticton. Other sports include archery, badminton, biathlon, curling, diving, figure skating, ringette and skiing cross-country, judo and netball.

If after too many New York late nights and with some help from DFA’s James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy you tried to re-create the synth pop and new wave that scored some teenager’s summer of ’84, the result might sound a lot like a Holy Ghost! track. In this afternoon’s DJ set, though, Holy Ghost! are likely to shake off some of their own aloof nostalgia with an enervating dose of contemporary disco house. Fellow local duo Blondes and their tableful of equipment disperse a more cosmic version of disco. Theirs is a mind-clearing, palate-cleansing sound perfect for spending a Sunday afternoon forgetting the week to come. This is the first of a series of summer parties that promoters JDH and Dave P (Fixed) and Paul Raffaele (the Dog & Pony Show) are throwing in Dekalb Market, the shipping-container playground and food court open mini mall off Flatbush Avenue.

Essential Brooklyn Restaurant Char No. 4 Is Closing

We just got word via an email from Sean Josephs, owner of Char No. 4 (one of our 99 Essential Restaurants in Brooklyn), that the treasured source for some of the borough’s best Southern-style smoked meats — not to mention a staggering selection of whiskey and bourbon — will close its doors Sunday, July 12. Josephs’s message reads:

Hi All,

I have some bittersweet news to share. Char No. 4 is closing its doors at the end of dinner service, next Sunday July 12th.

We have had an amazing 7 years in business during which time we have made so many great friends and served our share of bourbon and smoked meat, which I’d like to think has made for a lot of happy people.

The last 7 years have also been a lot of fun and we aim to finish out the coming days in the same fashion. We will run a limited menu, but one with all of the dishes that have been your favorites along with the specials that have made for years of lively Wednesday nights. Additionally you can expect to drink some awesome bourbon. Lets celebrate what has been a tremendous run by raising our glasses and enjoying the spirit that was the foundation of this great adventure.

In that vein, we have always tried to make inaccessible whiskeys accessible and it is only right that we really go out with a bang on that front. Tonight any of the old and rare whiskeys on our top shelf, which includes many gems, some of which may be the last of their kind, are yours for $6 an ounce. Come and get’em!!!

We all look forward to seeing you and getting the chance to say good bye over a glass or two (or three) of bourbon.

“Each dish was conceived with the idea that American whiskey would go well with it,” the Voice wrote earlier this year in our annual 99 Essential issue. “And smoker aside (the spareribs here might be the best in Brooklyn), chef Kyle Knall’s menu gives diners the full Southern treatment, including biscuits benedict with bacon gravy for brunch, bacon and brussels sprouts as a dinner side, mac and cheese, and (on Wednesdays and seasonally) a delightfully authentic, if elevated, crisp oyster po’boy.”

We’ve put in a call to Josephs for comment and will update when we hear back.

What it’s like to be a Network Engineer, Translated End-User Language

User: I think we are having a major road issue.

Me: What? No, I just checked, the roads are fine. I was actually just on the roads.

User: No I’m pretty sure the roads are down because I’m not getting Pizzas.

Me: Everything else on the roads is fine. What do you mean you aren’t getting Pizzas.

User: I used to get Pizzas when I ordered them, now I’m not getting them. It has to be a road issue.

Me: As I said, the roads are fine. Where are you getting pizzas from?

User:…I’m not really sure. Can you check all places that deliver pizzas?

Me: No I’m not even sure all the places that deliver pizza. You need to narrow it down.

User: I think it’s Subway.

Me: Ok I’ll check…No I just looked and Subway doesn’t deliver pizzas.

User: I’m pretty sure it is Subway. Can you just allow all food from Subway and we can see if Pizza shows up?

Me: Sigh, fine I’ve allowed all food from Subway, but I don’t think that is the issue.

User: Yeah I’m still not getting pizza. Can you check the roads?

Me: It’s not the roads, the roads are fine. I’m pretty sure Subway isn’t the place.

User: Ok I found it, its Papa Johns.

Me: Ok I looked and Papa Johns does deliver pizza. Is it the local papa johns or one in a different town?

User: I don’t know. Can you allow pizza from all Papa Johns to me?

Me: No I can’t do that. Can you get me an address for Papa Johns?

User: No, I only know it as Papa Johns. Can you get me all the addresses of all Papa Johns and I’ll tell you if one of them is correct?

Me: No I don’t have time for that. Ok I looked at the local one and it looks like they have sent you pizza in the past and they are currently allowed to send you pizzas. Try ordering a pizza while I watch.

User: Yeah still no pizza. I’m guessing they are getting blocked at the freeway. Can you check the freeway to make sure they can get through?

Me: NO this is a local delivery. They aren’t even using the freeway.

User: Ok, well then it has to be a road issue.

Me: NO the roads are fine. OK I just drove from the papa johns to the address they have on file for you and there is nothing there.

User: Hmm, wait we did move recently.

Me: Did you give your new address to Papa johns?

User: no, I just thought they would be able to look me up by name.

Me: No they need your new address. What’s your new address?

User: I’m not really sure. Can you look it up?

Me: sigh, give me a second…Ok I found your address and gave it to Papa Johns. Try ordering a pizza now.

Me: Ok, good.

User to everyone else they know: I apologize for the delay in the pizza but there was a major road issue that was preventing the pizza from getting to me. The network engineer has fixed the roads and we are able to get pizza again.

Me: but it wasn’t the roads…whatever.

User: oh can you also check on an issue where Chinese food isn’t getting to me? I think it may be a road issue.

Few Mainers consider this “real” camping, claiming that real camping is getting away from it all in the deep woods, fishing in a river or taking a snowmobile trip in Greenville. However, kids and parents will love the convenience and fun of  camping in Southern Maine, especially at Old Orchard Beach Maine.

Paradise Park Resort

For adults, campgrounds in OOB generally have hot tubs, grocery stores, RV hook ups, onsite laundry rooms, etc. Camping at an Old Orchard Beach campground also means you’re camping in the great outdoors, and you’re just a bike ride or trolley trip away from the best attractions in OOB, including the famous Pier.

Palace Playland view from OOB PierOld Orchard Beach offers summer vacation visitors with a carnival atmosphere, plus a seven-mile stretch of perfect sand beach stretching from the iconic Pier. Kids will love the amusement rides and games of chance at Palace Playland, parents will love the ocean views from the Ferris Wheel. The Pier and the boardwalk from the Beach offer a slice of Americana, pizza, fried dough, burgers, fried clams, Maine lobster rolls, ice cream, salt water taffy, you name it!

Old Orchard Beach offers the best of both worlds, camping in nature, and fun in the sun at the beach with min-golf, games of chance, and lots of casual dining..

Girl wins Most Beautiful Girl in the World second time

The girl named the ‘most beautiful in the world’ aged six has won the accolade again – 11 years later.

French model Thylane Blondeau, 17, was shocked to receive the title for the second time after first shooting to fame a decade ago.

Thylane took the fashion world by storm at a very young age, stunning with her model looks on the catwalk when she was just four years old.

She went on to feature on the cover of Vogue Enfants just two years later.

Thylane, the daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau and fashion designer Veronika Loubryand, first caught the world’s attention when she walked in a catwalk show for Jean Paul Gaultier.

“I just can’t believe it myself …thanks so much @tccandler and everyone who voted,” she wrote.

“I never thought i was once number one !! I’m thankful to all of you – really hope your having great holidays and spend nice Christmas with your family ..all the best to all of you guys lots of love.”

The awards pride themselves on diversity with Taiwanese singer Chou Tzu-yu getting runner-up, Israeli model Yael Shelbia getting third place and American-Filipino actress Liza Soberano coming fourth.Instagram

Thylane’s fans rushed to congratulate on the news.

On commented: “I knew it! I said it last year when you were number 2! I think you were two, maybe three… Anyway congratulations!”

Darius Davies: Persian of Interest

In the midst of our digital age, Darius Davies asks us to question everything.

Darius Davies: Persian of Interest

Darius Davies’ new show covers the way in which fake news and online manipulation have affected our digital age, and how we can claim agency back.

Opening with a strange blitz of multimedia, Davies’ show is high-octane, delivering a lot in the hour that you’re with him. He has a certain humanity to him which means that his jokes and observations all feel real, rather than being distant and condescending. His projected photos and videos all work exceptionally well with his jokes, perfectly timed and very well produced. There’s one point in particular where there’s a hilarious slideshow of gross photos set to joyous music, which was probably got the most laughs out of the whole show. Multimedia is core to his show, but it’s obvious that he would still be pretty funny without it.

From the beginning, Davies is on task, starting the show by letting us know how to get cheap subscriptions to popular services. Whilst the rest of the show isn’t as directly didactic as its opening, he stays laser-focused on his topic, talking about his own experiences with trolls and his experiences as a catfish from Tinder. He manages to seamlessly weave jokes, personal experience and broader lessons into his set, staying funny and focused throughout. Also, the things he has to say about social media and the news, in general, are genuinely interesting and intelligent, usually substantiating his theories with examples from his own life. Probably the funniest of these was the way in which with very little effort he managed to scam his way onto the BBC to get revenge against Ryanair, demonstrating the ease at which fake news can be created and spread.

In Persian of Interest, Davies brings a great and funny show with some intelligent and interesting takes on pressing issues in our time.

Interviews with Successful Online Marketers & Entrepreneurs

What is the Best Pitch to Use When Reaching Out to Bloggers?

Bloggers are respected and trusted voices that can help get the product or services of a business in front of a large audience. They have engaged followings across multiple channels that allow a business to get their content in front of an untapped audience. While connecting with bloggers has several benefits, reaching out to bloggers can be hard.

Reaching out to bloggers should be an intelligently planned and well-thought process that is centered around an offer that provides mutual benefit. Although bloggers may not feature a business’ content if it doesn’t resonate with their audience, marketers should ensure that blogger take their offer to post content that appeals to their audience. In this article, we’ll demonstrate a few important points marketers should follow to create the best pitch for reaching out to bloggers.

  1. Do Research

Healthy Links recommends marketers to do their research before reaching out to bloggers. They should read the ‘about us’ page of the blogger, the ‘contact’ page and the latest posts. These things will provide them a sense of the kind of topics the blogger is focused on and whether or not they fit their brand.

  1. Connect with Bloggers Socially

Bloggers are active on social media platforms like Twitter. A marketer should try to establish their relationship with a blogger by following them on Twitter and other social media platforms. When a marketer stays connected with bloggers on social media platforms, they can get insights about the things a blogger is interested in. This helps marketers personalize their pitch.

  1. Personalize the Pitch

The pitch crafted to reach out to bloggers should be personalized with all the important details of the blogger. If a marketer has done their research and is following the blogger on social media platforms, they’ll be able to easily personalize their pitch. The first name of the blogger and some details that demonstrate to them that a marketer knows their work well should be included in the pitch.

The tone of the pitch should be professional. The message should be sweet and short. A couple of short paragraphs would do the trick. It should be easy for the blogger to skim. Otherwise they will not bother reading the message.

  1. Don’t Come Across as Sales-Minded

Bloggers are irritated by people who do anything to have their content featured on their blog. A person should never force the blogger to publish their content. A blogger understands their audience best and they won’t publish content that doesn’t appeal to their audience. Therefore, a marketer should leave it up to the blogger to decide whether the content is suitable for their audience or not.

  1. Cut Straight to the Point

Alex from Healthy Links says that this is the most important step to follow. If a marketer wants the blogger to feature their product in their blog posts or tweet about it, they should ask them. If they want the blogger to write a review about their service, they should tell them. A marketer should make their agenda clear to the blogger. The offer (what blogger will get in return for their service) should also be made clear.

A marketer should highlight how their product is beneficial for the target audience of the blogger. This will increase their chances of getting coverage from the blogger.

  1. Don’t Assume That Bloggers Have Time to Spare

Bloggers are busy people. Marketers shouldn’t assume that bloggers have time for them or their product. If the blogger isn’t replying to their mails, a marketer should give them a few days to respond. If a marketer keeps bombarding bloggers with emails about their offer, it will just irritate the blogger and ruin the relationship.

  1. Never Act like You’re Doing Bloggers a Favor

Bloggers provide marketers a service in return for a monetary compensation or gift. Therefore, marketers should never act like they are doing bloggers a favor by contacting them to have their brand published on the blog.

  1. Follow Up

A marketer shouldn’t stop the communication when the blogger has accepted their pitch or published the post. This will affect their relationship with the blogger and they won’t be able to reach out to them again in the future. Therefore, a marketer should continue speaking with the blogger on social media and stay connected.

Intentional community in Forkes

Report Login

Location: Forks , United States

Greetings! We have been living on our 5 acres out here for two years now. We are an intentional community with three permanent residents at the moment. Our priorities are community, food independence, non-violent communication, permaculture... raw and cultured dairy! We live in a beautiful area where we receive an average of 140" of rain a year. Needless to say, the monsoon season is epic,but the summer is lovely! We have ducks that provide delicious eggs and a goat herd for milk. We are working with shade loving plants, micro climates, and perennials to create a self-sustaining food forest that will provide food for us year round. We live in a 2 story pallet house we constructed ourselves and we hope to finish an underground house based on Mike Oeler's "$50 and Up Underground House" soon .We feel comfortable housing a few more people in the pallet house. The underground house is also a dedicated community space, so people can live here too. We have access to electricity and internet at our neighbors houses, but no electricity on our property. You will be able to use the internet and charge electronics whenever you want to at our neighbors. People with permaculture and livestock experience/ interest are especially needed. We are both from the southwest so we are learning a whole new ecosystem and enjoy making medicine and eating wild harvested herbs, plants and mushrooms. There are also incredible hunting and fishing opportunities out here. When you come out here you can expect to be treated with respect and compassion. You can tap into projects as much as you feel comfortable. If you get consent from the community then underlining and initiating projects is encouraged. Get creative! Conditions out here are pretty rugged. We have a truck and are 10 miles from Forks, WA. We cook on an indoor propane stove/ oven, make a lot of sauerkraut, kombucha and kefir and prioritize nutrient dense foods in our diet like fresh non-factory farmed meat, duck eggs and raw dairy. This community is focused on power-with relationships and a decentralized, self-empowering atmosphere so people can focus on what brings autonomy, interdependence and connection to life in daily tasks/lifestyles. We enjoy feeding people and cooking meals together and eating communally, but you can eat however and what ever you want. We love kids, feel free to bring them along. Any pets need to be able to get along with our two dogs and learn to get along with our ducks and goats.
We need volunteers throughout the year. Things you can tap into are gardening, shepherding (our goats graze 8 hours a day)and construction projects.
The way to contact us is most comfortable through our e-mail which is: [email protected]

theater review

On Collective Rage and Its Detachment

Two of the five Betties in Collective Rage, at the Lortel. Photo: Joan Marcus

Over the course of its self-consciously frolicsome 90 minutes, Jen Silverman’s Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties grew on me. Then, after I left the theater, it shrunk on me again. I found myself trying to describe it to a friend and getting more and more frustrated with it as I did so. It’s not that Collective Rage is a very bad play; it’s that, for this moment, it’s a very normal one. It’s a good example of what I’ve come to think of as Contemporary Hipster Theater: quirky, self-referential, precariously straddling the chasm between the irony that is its natural inclination and the sincerity it senses it must risk, and deeply concerned with conveying some kind of legible, laudable response to the present political moment. Its would-be edginess is blunted by the fact that, in New York City in 2018, Collective Rage isn’t simply a play but a type of play. The middle of the theatrical road is now paved with the efforts of playwrights and institutions to perform their usefulness via their indignation, to draw a direct line between art and activism that would seem to render the art in question more powerful, more — red-flag word — “necessary,” but instead often does little more than shorten the work’s shelf life. How long will all of these anxious, aggrieved Age of Trump plays last? Ben Jonson’s satires were much more overtly topical than Shakespeare’s plays, but 400 years later the world doesn’t sustain a surfeit of Jonson Theaters.

Not to say that Shakespeare needs to be the standard any writer sets for herself, but since Collective Rage in fact gains its engine by riffing on that writer’s most famous comedy, it seems fair to dig the guy up again. Silverman’s characters are four women and one “gender-non-conforming, masculine-presenting, female-bodied individual [who’s] comfortable with female pronouns” — all named Betty and all, according to a note from the playwright, “in desperate pursuit of happiness, in face of an almost unbearable loneliness.” (A condition otherwise known as being a person.) Numbered 1 through 5, they are, respectively, two rich and uptight housewives (one polished and seething, the other repressed and unravelling); a “high-femme, super queer” Sephora clerk; a butch lesbian with a truck and a crush on the Sephora clerk; and a suave, fresh-out-of-rehab genderqueer Casanova, also with a truck, who just wants to “run [her] boxing gym. And eat pussy.”

The Betties might seem mismatched, but there’s nothing like theater for bringing together a gang of lonely misfits. Collective Rage takes off after Betty 3 (that’s Sephora clerk Betty, the excellent Ana Villafañe) sees a play and reports back to her childhood pal, Betty 4 (butch truck Betty, a likable Lea DeLaria), that somehow, her experience of swanky, uptown Shakespeare has inspired her to “quit Sephora and dedicate my life to The Thea-Tah.” Betty 4 is skeptical — and horrified at the idea of spending $89 on “anything that won’t go on my truck” — but Betty 3 has seen a new vision of herself: as director (“and also the writer and also the lead … And also I’ma do hair and make-up”) of her very own version of the play-within-a-play from “Summer’s Midnight Dream.” With all of Peter Quince’s administrative anxiety and all of Bottom’s braggadocio, Betty 3 assembles her own gang of rude mechanicals and throws herself into her new calling — preparing to play both her production’s doomed lovers, “Burmese and Frisbee … Pyramid and Thirsty? Penis and Thursday!”

At about this point in Collective Rage (which really isn’t all that rage-y), I noticed that my laughter kept getting caught in my throat. Okay, not at Penis and Thursday — that’s straight-up funny. But as Betty 3 grabbed the play’s steering wheel and pointed it down its nudge-y, wink-y, meta-theatrical path, I wondered why, here, ingredients that often delight me — Shakespeare references, theater-about-theater shenanigans — tended to taste strangely off. It wasn’t the performances: The show’s five actors are its saving grace, from the magnetic Chaunté Wayans as Betty 5, who’s all sly half-smiles and smooth masculine charisma, to the expertly comic Villafañe, to Dana Delany’s crisp Betty 1 — who just wants to beat something up, despite her Upper East Side veneer — to the marvelous Adina Verson, whose giggling, yearning Betty 2 single-handedly pulls the play’s tongue out of its cheek and gives it a real heart. Director Mike Donahue does confident, compassionate work with his ensemble — pushing the comedy but retaining the characters’ humanity — and he and his designers keep the show swift and clean in Dane Laffrey’s open set, a mostly empty space covered by a boxy ceiling grid. Out of the hidden heights of this floating light box plummet things like armchairs and phones when they’re needed, and on its flat front, projection designer Caite Hevner notifies us in large neon block letters of Silverman’s lengthy scene titles.

These titles, and indeed, the complete title of Silverman’s play, go some length to explaining those unmistakable, between-the-shoulder-blades tweaks of annoyance that Collective Rage kept giving me, despite the intrepid work of Donahue and the cast. The show’s full name, which is emblazoned across the front of the set when you enter the theater, is: Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties; In Essence, A Queer And Occasionally Hazardous Exploration; Do You Remember When You Were In Middle School And You Read About Shackleton And How He Explored The Antarctic?; Imagine The Antarctic As A Pussy And It’s Sort Of Like That. And if that hasn’t got you sufficiently keyed in to the show’s tone, the play’s scenes feature similar inscriptions — like, “Bettys 1 and 5 Discuss Tits and Rage,” or “Bettys 3 and 4 Discover That Highbrow Things Are Just Things That Seem To Be About Other Things When They’re Actually About Pussy” (this is the scene about going to a Shakespeare play), or “All of The Bettys Have Their First Collective Experience of Rage, Also Known As Rehearsal.”

Silverman is so addicted to these arch flourishes that she’s constantly pulling us outside of her play. Collective Rage is full of low-hanging comedic fruit, from the constant pronunciation of “theater” as “Thea-Tah” and the Betties’ layperson conversation about it in a room full of savvy playgoers— “[It] sounds confusing”; “It was cultural … [It] was very famous, lots of people think it’s good…”; “Lots of people are stupid” — to Betty 3’s tendency to bark overlong Starbucks orders at the scurrying, eager-to-please Betty 2. (When was the last time the “extra-tall-skinny-caramel-Splenda-non-fat-organic-double-shot-latte” joke was funny?) It’s as if Silverman is affecting a kind of superiority over the thing she herself has made, a too-cool-for-school flipness that seems to say, “I mean, I know how silly this whole Thea-Tah thing is. I’m a little ashamed that I’m still doing it right now, with the world the way it is. But look how self-aware I am! That makes it better, right?”

As a contemporary playwright, she’s far from alone in this hip insecurity, a tone that’s become so prevalent that it’s frankly exhausting. It’s understandable, and it’s also wrong-headed. I don’t begrudge any artist working right now their frustration — or rage, anxiety, uncertainty, feelings of political inadequacy, what-have-you — but I do reject the notion that, to perform a progressive duty, art must somehow pull off the paradoxical contortion of trumpeting its importance while simultaneously apologizing for its existence. That’s the business plays like Collective Rage are engaged in: They signal to us with all kinds of positive optics that they’re doing good and useful work in the world, and yet they wink at us, too, whispering out of the sides of their mouths that they know how frivolous they are, but won’t we please all come along, anyway?

There’s something craven in this mixed messaging, something that undermines the earnestness of the play’s final moments. Verson — whose frightened Betty 2 has undergone an ecstatic process of awakening after encountering her vagina in a hand mirror — gets to go to some truly strange and released places during the show. She turns a scene in which she talks to her own hand as a squeaky-voiced puppet (and her only friend) into a high-strung, wacky delight, and she’s genuinely affecting as she strips down, emotionally and physically, to prepare for her role of the Lion in Betty 3’s play. Having blown through all of its irony, Collective Rage ends with sincerity, as Betty 2 takes to the stage alone in her underwear to sing a soft, tentative song about how the world is “strange and lonely … but it’s probably gonna be okay / but that’s unclear / but maybe not.” Verson’s weird, vulnerable, multifaceted performance is almost enough to bring the play back around — but not quite. Her epilogue feels like a nice but ultimately ineffectual dose of sweet after a lot of sour. Collective Rage might want to reveal its heart, but like many a hipster, it waits too late and, despite its sassy exterior, is a little too scared.

Collective Rage: A Play in Five Betties is at MCC Theater at the Lucille Lortel Theatre through October 7.

Webinar: Document Merge in wMobile Desktop for GoldMine Register

DocuSign November 2019 Update

Released on October 25th, 2019

New and Updated Features

Custom Help Contact

Admins can provide guidance and contact information that is displayed to end-users when they select the help button in their DocuSign eSignature Account. This can be configured in the Account Profile page by full admins. Available to all customers on both Demo and Prod environments.

Admin Capabilities for DocuSign ID Verification

Admins with DocuSign Identify enabled can now create and manage Identity Verification configurations. These configurations are used by Senders to verify the identity of recipients. For each configuration, Admins can restrict the list of countries that IDs will be accepted from as well as set the number of retry attempts that will be permitted before the envelope is locked.

For accounts with ID Verification and EU Advanced Signature, admins can also change the signature type applied in the recipient flow.

Availability: Standard Plans and Above, Requires the DocuSign Identify Add-On and Account Plan Item

For more information on new features and enhancements, see the Admin Release Notes.

21 CFR Part 11

New Activation Experience

Recipients external to your organization that do not have a DocuSign account will now be able to activate their DocuSign account and sign their envelope all at once through one email. With this new feature, as an unaccounted recipient, you no longer have to search for a separate activation email in your Inbox before signing your envelope. DocuSign will automatically detect you are not an accounted recipient and prompt you to activate your account. Once finished, DocuSign will redirect you to the envelope for signing. This provides a a faster and seamless signing experience, while adhering to the Part 11 credentialing provisions.

This feature has been rolled out to a few select customers and will be rolling out to relevant CFR customers over the next few months.

Validator for Life Sciences Report

DocuSign is launching a refreshed design of the Validator for Life Sciences Report, which provides a consistent look and feel with the updated DocuSign branding across the application.

DocuSign is deprecating the Classic feature Merge on Activation in December of 2019. Merge on Activation is not available in the New DocuSign Experience UI, only functions if the backend feature has been enabled by DocuSign Support, the account to be merged is a signer user account of an eligible plan, and if both accounts reside on the same server. Please reach out to your account team if you have questions

Error Handling

DocuSign has added new error handling in the REST API when creating fields that prevent invalid Regular Expressions (RegEx) from being saved when sending an envelope. This enhancement will be ramped up to customers globally.

Sending and Templates

Radio button or drop down should be used if one of the checkbox users selects

For users who have enabled the Admin Sending Setting Draw new signature for each signature or initial field, DocuSign has made a change to the UI in the recipient card. Previously, this advanced recipient setting was a check box that would allow users to select the option Draw a new signature for each signature or initial field.The UI drop down has been updated, where users can select None or Draw a new signature for each signature or initial field.

DocuSign Radio button

This change is effective in Production as of October 17th. (MAR-30571)

Armenian Signing

Add Armenian to Signing is now available for signing and available in the next release in Radmin and NDSE. Signing, a singer can choose Armenian as their signing language. For Radmin, an account holder can choose Armenian as a branding email language. For Sending, a sender can choose Armenian as a recipient language. (SMPI-220)

Require Upload Signature Specimen to Address 'remote Signature Card' for Finserv Customers

Major financial institutions still require a drawn signature specimen on the signature card document when opening an account. For consumer/in-branch scenarios, this is achieved through a bank owned tablet and embedded signing. This enhancement addresses remote signing scenarios, such as for institutional account opening (primary focus here), and consumer remote account opening, where the signers are using their own devices. (SIGN-22313)

Radio Button Tooltip

DocuSign has added a Tooltip to the Radio Buttons in Tagger to be included as the primary tool tip instead of the Group Label. In many cases the name may be an internal name that customers do not want disclosed. This tooltip is shown in signing to signers. (SIGN-17333).

Create Recipient View Links

This communication is regarding a change to the URL returned by the Create Recipient View API endpoint:

What will change? Customers can expect to see the length of the URL to be longer. Customers can expect to be redirected through a different subdomain depending on region of the account sending the envelope. Please verify your domain whitelist per the following documentation:

What will not change? DocuSign has designed this change so that your existing functionality should not change.

Why are is DocuSign making this change? These changes are part of an effort to standardize and further secure links that redirect into Signing Ceremony. DocuSign is working to centralize the system used for authentication across all its products. These new links provide improved security compared to the current system. These changes will provide the ability to expire, revoke, or modify an existing link without changing it. They also make secret links harder to brute force or to guess. They provide improved auditing on redemption and better ability to enforce authentication policies such as two-step verification. Redemption refers to what happens when the link is used. A token is created via the Create Recipient View Link API request, and then used/redeemed when the link is visited in the browser.

These changes began rolling out the week of Aug 26th.

Demo environment - Feature is now ON in Demo as of the end of September.

Prod environment - Feature is targeted for slow rollout in early January 2020.

For questions, concerns and feedback, please contact Managed Token Rollout at

Responsive Signing

Responsive Signing is now GA and only available to accounts on current account plans (e.g. Personal, Standard, Business Pro, Enterprise Pro). These accounts will now have the switch to enable Responsive Signing setting.

Note : DocuSign is running into instances were some legacy accounts are erroneously receiving this feature and this bug is under investigation

What Is Responsive Signing?

Responsive signing will improve usability and performance for mobile signers. Responsive Signing automatically converts documents to HTML and allows you to preview the conversion across device types prior to sending. Signers on small screens will see the responsive HTML, and they can toggle to view the original document. This functionality helps signers get the most readable document presentation possible without pinching and zooming. For more information using the feature, read the public support page.

What do Customers Need to do?

Enablement is easy - admins will see a new tile on the homepage to turn on Responsive Signing for their account. See this example:

DocuSign responsive signing

Customers can later manage this setting in DocuSign Admin’s signing settings. Simply login to DocuSign, click Go to Admin, click Signing Settings and check to Allow recipients to view mobile-friendly documents with responsive signing.

When Should Customers use Responsive Signing?

This feature converts agreement content to HTML, so there are some documents that are better-suited to conversion than others. For instance, documents with regularly shaped tables and large blocks of text (e.g. common contracts) convert better than documents that have irregular or wide tables (e.g. tax forms). DocuSign recommends senders use Recipient Preview to check content before sending it.

If you encounter any issues with your content or if you want to improve your content for mobile signers, read the guide on optimizing your content for Responsive Signing.

Questions, Concerns or Feedback (Bugs)

  • Customers can report issues directly through DocuSign support.
  • For more information using the feature, read the public support page.

DocuSign Employees can report any bugs your customers find (with screenshots) on the Responsive Signing group on Chatter.

Improved Responsive Tag Placement Logic

DocuSign has improved the tag placement logic for Responsive documents. This change was done so that tabs align more accurately with the source document leading to an improved user experience for signers.

Customer Impact : Being a layout change, it may affect your existing template tab placement in a Responsive view. If you face any issues, please reach out to your AMs/TCSMs. (SIGN-23755)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused sending fonts not to save properly in Admin.
  • Fixed a bug that caused some admins with Users and Groups delegated permissions to lose access to the Permission Sets page in Admin.

For more information see the Admin Release Notes.

Advanced Recipient Routing

Conditional Recipients now works with all SBS accounts. DocuSign's customers and customers that purchased Advanced Workflow will now be able to use it for SBS accounts, prominent in Europe. (MAR-30700)

Download supplemental document with the correct file name instead of [[EmailSubject]].pdf: When a signer viewed a supplemental document, opened it up in a modal, and then clicked to download the individual supplemental document on this modal itself, the supplemental document was downloaded as a file called [[EmailSubject]].pdf.

This has been modified so that the Supplemental document is saved as [[SupplementalDocName]].pdf instead. (SIGN-18415)

Read only text field's frame still visible when set with Date Validation: "Read only" field's frame was still visible when it is set with Date Validation, confusing the end signer when the field was also set to Required as the red frame appears but they could not enter any value.

Google’s Fitbit purchase to get the green light from the EU

fitbit versa 2 review display watch face 2

  • Google’s purchase of Fitbit is reportedly set to gain approval from the EU.
  • Reports suggest the company’s new concessions may appease the European Commission.
  • The deal was initially announced in November 2019.

Google’s deal to purchase Fitbit is set to gain approval from the EU, a Reuters report revealed on Tuesday.

The deal has been under scrutiny since November 1, 2019, when Google’s intention to purchase the fitness hardware and service company was made official. The company has faced antitrust concerns largely relating to its inheritance of Fitbit users’ data, but the report suggests the company has taken steps to appease the European Commission’s worries.

For starters, Google has reportedly offered to restrict the use of data garnered from Fitbit’s services. The report also suggests that Google has offered to make its Android API more easily accessible to companies who want to build wearable hardware for the platform.

The European Commission is now required to either accept the steps, or demand more concessions from the tech giant in order to gain deal approval. The commission is set to decide on the deal by December 23.

Fitbit is a marquee purchase for Google, a company that has lagged behind the likes of Apple, Xiaomi, and Samsung in the wearables and fitness technology race. While its reported promise of relinquishing Fitbit’s trove of user data probably won’t aid its advertising revenue efforts, the company would gain a major player in the wearable hardware space.

Income Investing: The Importance of Fixed Income

What is Income Investing?

Nobody wants another “entrepreneur” trying to sell their latest get rich quick scheme. We want investments designed to generate steady income—usually with an eye toward a secure retirement. In the stock market, we call this income investing.

Income Investing

One great “Get Rich Slowly” strategy is income investing.

Income investing involves buying securities that generally pay out returns on a steady schedule. That’s why we consider it “income”. Consider your paycheck deposited into your bank account every two weeks for example.

Bonds are the best known type of fixed income security, but the category also includes stocksstock and bond fundsExchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and Real-Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

The Internet and real estate bubbles have dominated the financial spotlight in recent decades, fueling the get-rich-quick crowd. But that doesn’t mean that income investing has fallen out of favor. Far from it.

In this course, we’re going to take you on a tour of the most common income-investing options available. But first, let’s talk about why income investing is such an important part of your financial arsenal.

The Importance of Fixed Income

Whether you love your work or not, Father Time will eventually catch up with you. When that happens, you’ll need other sources of income to cover living expenses.

For some, the idea of not being able to spend their money freely is a scary proposition. But living on a fixed income is far from the end of the world. In fact, if you invest wisely, you’ll realize that adding fixed income to the mix is essential.

Mainly, no one wants to live with the fear that retirement is somehow going to lower your standard of living or quality of life. And for many that’s a real threat—especially now that it’s harder and harder to find companies that offer great pension or benefit plans.

That’s where fixed income investments come in: providing you with a reliable income stream with minimal risk.

Fixed income investing is relatively simple, with a select group of easy-to-understand options to choose from. Let’s look at the most common ones.

Bonds and Income Investing

income investing

You may know more about Barry Bonds or James Bond than the kind of bonds that are sold in financial markets around the world.

A bond is always issued with a certain face amount, also called the principal or par value of the bond, commonly issued in $1000 increments.

Most bonds pay interest, which varies from bond to bond, and is usually paid out twice a year. For most kinds of bonds, that rate is fixed over the life of the bond, although the terms of some types of bonds aren’t.

The life of the bond is known as its maturity.

In reality, bonds are pretty easy to understand. When you buy a bond or invest in a bond fund, you’re buying debt. You basically become a banker, lending a government agency or company money. In return, you get a guaranteed interest payment, along with all of your original investment.

For example, let’s say a city needs to borrow money to build a dog park. They decide to raise the money by issuing Class A Doggie Bonds for $100 each. In exchange, the city promises to pay you $20 in interest on that bond over a certain period of time. When that time runs out, you get your $100 back as well.

Fixed Income Stocks

You might be asking yourself how something as risky as a stock could be considered part of the “fixed-income” universe. The answer starts with a “D” and ends with an “S”: You guessed it, DIVIDENDS!

Think of dividends as a form of rewarding shareholders for their faith and investment in a company. Usually every three months (or “quarterly”), companies will pay shareholders a percentage of their earnings.

Dividends At Work

Companies pay out dividends as a percentage of the stock price.

Let’s say the Jeans Company pays a dividend of 2% and their stock price is $100 per share. The Jeans Company will pay a dividend of $2 per share. So if you own 200 shares of the Jeans Company stock, you’ll receive a dividend payout of $400.

Shareholders often have the options of either pocketing the dividends directly as cash, or reinvesting the dividends back into company stock. This means that, instead of taking your $400 in Jeans Company dividends and running, you reinvest it in the company and add more shares to your holdings. In this example, you’d be able to add 4 more shares of the Jeans Company stock ($400/$100).

Many dividend-paying companies offer shareholders the option of using a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP), which automatically reinvests dividend payments into company stocks, commission-free.

Who's Paying Dividends?

You usually won’t find too many dividend-paying income stocks for companies that “stay ahead of the curve,” like computer or biotech firms. That’s because they need to reinvest their cash flow into ongoing research and development efforts. In exchange, shareholders’ can be rewarded by a higher stock price.

Dividend-paying stocks are usually found in companies with steady cash flows, meaning the money coming in and the money going out stays relatively consistent. They also tend to have less money going back into the company for R&D purposes. Industries such as utilities and basic materials consistently pay good dividends.

Like any stock, dividend-paying equities aren’t without risk; the price of these stocks rises and falls, but usually in a fairly narrow range. And once a company commits to paying dividends, management strives to keep those dividends steady or rising to gain investor’s confidence and attract more shareholders.

Income-Producing Funds: Mutual Funds vs. ETFs

Income-producing funds bunch together a number of different types of fixed-income assets, spreading the risk so that investors don’t have to stake all of their bets on a single option.

Like chemists, fund managers try to mix and match the best fixed-income “ingredients” to produce the highest rates of return for investors. Sometimes these funds include 100’s or even 1,000’s of different fixed-income products under one umbrella.

Mutual funds are the most common way investors build fixed income portfolios, but exchange-traded funds (ETFs) specializing in income investments are quickly gaining popularity.

Just like with a mutual fund, you can buy shares in ETFs composed of different kinds of fixed income holdings—whether they’re municipal, state or federal bonds, stocks, U.S. Treasuries, or combinations thereof.

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be bought and sold in real-time just like stocks. They don’t require any minimum investment, and there is no sales fee (commonly called a “load-fee”) apart from the cost of a trade.

One way to avoid confusion about whether fixed-income ETFs or mutual funds are right for you, is by comparing how they’re performing. Many sources on the web continually update their monthly rates of return, including TheStreet.comForbes, and individual brokerage houses.

If you’re in the market for an income-producing investment, do the research, factor in the fees, and identify the funds you like best!

To REIT or Not to REIT?

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are like hybrid plants—with the genes of both a stock and mutual fund spliced together. They trade like stocks, with their own ticker symbols, but when you invest in a REIT, you’re buying a group of different real estate properties.

Like income stocks, REITs pay out dividends. But unlike stocks, every REIT is required to pay out at least 95% of their earnings in the form of dividends.

If the value of the underlying properties in the REITs grows, so does the value of your investment in that REIT, which can add to nice, steady fixed returns.

REIT investments also diversify your portfolio with exposure to real estate without any of the high overhead it takes to buy and sell property, or any of the complex responsibilities of being a landlord. On top of that, they offer appealing tax advantages.

So why would anyone NOT want to own REITs?

Well, first of all, these factors don’t mean that REIT’s are a slam dunk. When a REIT’s property holdings decline in value along with the real estate market, their dividend payments and share price will decline as well.

REITs are also particularly sensitive to interest rates, as rising interest rates can take a bite out of their profits.

The dividends of some REITs don’t offer the same tax advantages of others.

You can get a nice snapshot of how REITs are performing by monitoring the Dow Jones All REIT Equity Index, which you can track under the symbol ^REI. For much more information, visit the website of the National Association of REITS (NAREIT).

Changing Landscape of Income Investing

Income investing used to be a matter of fluffing up your portfolio with some bonds and income stock funds, sitting back, and reaping slow, steady gains. The traditional approach, however, is no longer the go to.

“For income investors, a no-growth economy can be a positive,” stated Richard Lehmann (of no relation to the Lehman Brothers), who publishes the highly regarded Forbes/Lehmann Income Securities Investor Newsletter.

“The fact is most income securities are not dependent on growth or profitability. What I care about is that a company survives so that it continues to make its routine interest or dividend payments.”

In fact, dividend income investing is now very much in vogue. So far this year, dividend-specific ETFs are easily outperforming most other ETFs, accounting for eight of the top ten leading fixed income ETFs.

Lehmann says ETFs are the best way to income invest, “Not in long-term corporate bond or U.S. government Treasuries. The risks of a sudden reversal in rates is just too great. Puny yields and potential capital losses make them a terrible investment.”

The Get-Rich-Slow philosophy is clearly not a lackluster approach. Sure, slow and steady wins the race. But if you're collecting a regular stream of income as you go, that slow and steady race becomes a very attractive one.
