Are electronic signatures legal?
Yes. Electronic signatures were made legal throughout the United States when
President Clinton signed the ESIGN Act of 2000. Similar legislation has been
passed in many other countries.
Key features of legal electronic signatures include:
What are the main laws and regulations
that surround privacy and electronic records?
In the United States, there are laws regarding electronic records, record retention,
privacy and electronic signatures. These include SEC 17a-3 and 17a-4, the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) privacy act, the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA), 21 CFR Part 11, Sarbanes-Oxley, the Government Paperwork
Elimination Act (GPEA), the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and the
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN).
Yozons designs its solutions to help you comply with any and all of these laws and regulations.
Is Yozons PCI compliant with respect to accepting credit cards?
Yes, Yozons continues to maintain PCI compliance annually with respect to the credit cards it accepts for payment of its
service, including quarterly security scans of our server.
Here's a copy of our PCI Compliance Certificate.
Yozons' PCI Compliance is not transferable to our customers' use of credit card data (we cannot control their policies and procedures),
but clearly PCI compliance can be achieved using our technology and hosting services should your business accept credit cards.
Also, our data centers have passed SSAE 16 Type II SOC 1 (and ISAE 3402) examinations.
Do you have a free version?
Yozons has never offered any of its products for free, and we're blessed with a continuously growing client list since 2001.
Everyone knows that you get what you pay for. Most free things either bombard you with advertising, give you little real functionality until you "upgrade,"
or the vendor sells your personal and demographic information, along with those who electronically sign your contracts, to
marketing companies, "partners" or "subsidiaries" that mine your data. For some small entities or for occasional personal use, that may be a fine trade-off,
but no real business can rely on such low-end services.
Per our privacy policy, we no longer publish any information about new customers. This protects Yozons and all of our customers from hackers who exploit such information.
Besides, don't be fooled by customer lists as most businesses
will tout a Fortune 500 customer who bought $250 worth of services just once for a trial as if it were a long-term, high-value endorsement. Have you ever noticed
how every company describes itself as being the "leader"? Only Yozons publishes its software code to the public
while keeping its clients' information private -- technology and management you can trust.
With that said, the Open eSignForms technology is also open source licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL).
See the open.esignforms.com project web site for more information on using this technology
under the AGPL.
We've been using paper forever.
Why shouldn't I just continue with paper?
Paper is familiar, but paper is expensive to buy, to store and to dispose of
in a way that's kind to the environment. Paper is hard to backup, requires lots
of filing cabinet space, is expensive to store offsite and requires shredding
when they are no longer needed. (How often do you scan your files for records
that have passed their record retention dates?) Paper files are often
misplaced, taken home or stored at an employee's desk, making them hard to find.
Few people take the time to copy their documents, so theft, fires and disgruntled
or forgetful employees can cause the loss of your valuable paper records.
You may not even realize a document is missing until you look for it.
With Yozons, you no longer have to print your documents
to dispatch them or get them signed. If you created a document electronically,
why not keep it electronic? Electronic records are easy to backup, share, search
for and store offsite. With auditing and tracking, you can be sure you know about
every contract that's sent out, which is difficult in a paper world. Finally,
when a record has met its retention requirements, it can automatically be deleted.
Why not just use faxes? Everybody's got a fax these days.
Most businesses have fax machines, but few individuals do, and faxing is clearly in
decline, despite the valiant efforts of e-faxing vendors who are attempting to bridge the chasm.
The degraded legibility of faxed documents can make them impossible to read, especially if
the recipient's fax smudges or is low on toner or if you need the fax signed
and faxed back. Many people print a document just to fax it, which
wastes paper and your money. If it's already electronic, keep it electronic.
Finally, faxes are typically sent to a common machine that is shared among
an office, meaning that your correspondence can be read or mistakenly picked
up by others. Besides, who really likes to create a cover page, punch in a
phone number and wait 30 or more seconds for each page to go out, especially
when the recipient's fax machine is busy or out of paper? If you need to send
the fax to more than one party, the wasted time and phone charges add up quickly.
Overnight and second day delivery is pretty fast.
Why not just use regular mail, FedEx or UPS?
For parcels, these are clearly the best way to move things across the world.
But when your documents are created electronically, the costs of printing,
addressing an envelope, paying postage and then waiting for pickup and delivery
are simply much higher than using secure document delivery. While overnight may
seem fast, with Yozons you can have someone sign a document
or fill out your forms while you are talking with them on the phone, or you can complete a delivery in
seconds even when the post office or UPS Store has closed for the day. Besides,
would you rather pay a little to send your documents
for signature in just 5 seconds, or pay $10 to $30 roundtrip to do the same
thing using a courier in a 172,800 seconds (two days!)?
I don't think electronic signatures
prove the identity of the signer as well as handwritten signatures.
This thinking has allowed a lot of fraud to take place over the years.
Very few people have signature cards on hand to verify a handwritten signature,
and fewer still are trained to detect forgeries. Most people's signatures
vary slightly each time they sign so checking is complicated further, and
many signatures are so stylized that they are impossible to read. With the
advent of high resolution printers, scanners and copiers, it's very easy to
make a perfect copy of even the most complex handwritten signature and include
it on any document.
Most people are surprised to learn that banks and credit card companies
rarely verify a handwritten signature precisely because it's so hard and
expensive to do. It's easier and cheaper to wait for someone to complain
about being defrauded than it is to check routinely.
With Yozons, electronic signatures cannot be copied and used on other documents.
In the end, it is up to your business processes to weigh the risks and rewards
on any transaction.
Aren't handwritten signatures more legal than electronic signatures?
Absolutely not. Various laws have endorsed electronic signatures for years now. Other laws
require businesses to switch to electronic records that can be better protected and tracked.
Aside from the problems of verifying a handwritten signature, multi-page
documents typically have signatures at the end, so replacing earlier pages or
marking up a change can complicate determining whether a given document
is an original or not. With Yozons software, any such change to a document
would easily be detected by a computer, even years later, so you can rest assured
that what you sign can never be changed after the fact. Also, each time you sign
a document, a receipt is sent to notify you that your signature was
added. With complete tracking, it easy to find out all documents that you've
signed, something that's impossible to do with paper records, especially if someone
signs your name without your consent.
In practice, it is quite rare for a contract dispute to arise over whether a contract was signed or not.
Mostly, disputes surround the meaning and interpretation of the contracts themselves
and whether the parties lived up their respective obligations. Because it's so easy
to forge handwritten signatures compared to electronic signatures, electronic signatures
are more secure and reliable should a conflict arise.
A few people still feel that signing a paper record is more secure than doing so electronically.
While it is important to select a hard-to-guess password that unlocks your electronic signature potential,
a signed paper document (absent hand delivery and a notarized signature) suffers many problems that
electronic signatures resolve.
The problems with paper-based signatures include:
With Yozons, electronic signatures give you greater control over your signature:
I'm used to seeing handwritten ("wet") signatures.
Can't I just use an image of my signature and be done with it?
Absolutely not! Images of handwritten signatures make fraud even easier because
it's so easy to copy an image and use it repeatedly on other forged documents.
Electronic signatures look nothing like your handwritten signature. Fortunately, just as a computer creates an
electronic signature under your control, it also verifies them for you. Therefore,
never rely on an image of a signature to prove anything, especially since
printing a document that contains an image of your signature will even look like you
signed on paper.
While it may seem nice to have a visible "handwritten signature" appear in your documents, the
truth is that such signatures are easily forged and copied. This is true for any lock, seal or stamp
that may appear to provide protection. Visible queues simply cannot be trusted for electronically signed
documents. Only trusted software can verify electronic signatures, and electronic signatures
are never legally recognized when printed on paper. In a litigious world, security best practices
dictate the use of digital signature-based electronic signatures.
This image of John Hancock's signature was lifted from a copy of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. In the
paper world, seeing such a signature in ink is a reasonable way to believe that Mr. Hancock has
indeed signed, assuming that you can read it, you are a handwriting expert with a trusted signature sample on file,
and the person hasn't changed his signature over time.
Very few people are handwriting experts, and very few have signature files on hand to compare a handwritten
signature against. The reality is that very few signatures, even those written on checks or credit card slips
are ever verified because doing so is much harder and more time consuming than you might assume. With electronic
signatures, you can verify a signature using software, so it's much easier to verify a signature and also
ensure that the contents of what has been signed has not been changed after the fact.
Below is an example of a digital signature. Note that it looks nothing like a handwritten signature.
The above electronic signature shows a valid, unique XML digital signature.
Unfortunately, this signature simply cannot be verified by a person.
It requires that a computer running trusted software process the
contents of the signed electronic document to recreate a hash (you can think of it as
a unique fingerprint or the DNA of the document),
then compare that computed hash value using the user's public encryption key and supplied digital signature
to determine if everything is legitimate. If these computations match, then the signature is real and is
associated with the given document. If not, then the signature is a forgery or the document is no longer
the same as it was at the time the electronic signature was applied (it has been tampered with).
The human urge is to have a traditional looking handwritten signature appear within electronic documents
that have been signed electronically. This urge must be resisted because it is an easy source of fraud. Why?
Because it is easy to copy and paste an image of a signature, just as we copied John Hancock's signature above.
That signature image can be cropped and resized to fit any document, and if you believe that seeing a traditional
signature means it was signed, you will be easily tricked when you see the image.
Even worse, many people want to print electronically signed documents and have a signature image or seal
appear on the paper copy. This is worse because once an electronically signed document is printed, the paper
copy cannot be verified at all. Remember, people cannot verify electronic signatures, only computers can.
Since it's easy to copy signature images and paste them into documents, printing them only makes those signatures
appear more real because they are on paper. Modern scanners and photocopiers have made it nearly impossible
to determine original handwritten signatures from copies. Some criminals even copy currency using these tools,
which shows how easy it is to trick people with paper copies.
The lessons to take away with you are:
Remember, some people are tricked into clicking links in forged emails (aka "phishing")
purporting to be from PayPal, Amazon.com, Citibank, Microsoft, etc.
These victims unwittingly provide their financial information to criminals who are operating web sites
that look just like the real web sites because it's easy to copy logos, seals and other images that
are electronic. Other people are tricked into installing viruses because they believe an email that appears to be from
Microsoft or "a friend's email address" is valid
just because a criminal has sent the fraudulent email using the other party's actual email address.
These scams rely on the fact that people tend to trust official looking messages.
In the electronic world, it's easy to fake how things look. Never trust the contents of an email sent to you.
I don't want my electronic signature "floating around the Internet" where someone can steal it.
Because electronic signatures are unique for every document you sign,
nobody can copy an electronic signature and use it elsewhere. With our technology, the timestamp and IP address of the computer used
are recorded, so even if you were to sign the same document repeatedly, the electronic signature would never be the same.
Why don't you use Adobe PDF files?
Adobe PDF was a fine read-only technology in its time, but it pre-dates the Web and just isn't suitable for online business today.
PDFs are not natively rendered in web browsers, so you need a proprietary plug-in just to view them, and then you can't
interact with the document such as filling out a form or resizing it to fit varying computer window sizes.
PDFs rendered inside a browser are clunky and confusing with their own buttons and controls. You cannot take advantage of the accessibility options
built into modern browsers that support font legibility or screen readers, and of course they don't work well with the myriad new
HTML-capable devices being connected to the Web, such as Apple's iPhone and iPad, Blackberry, or the various Google/Android smart phones.
Furthermore, PDF files are significantly bigger than standards-compliant HTML files, wasting bandwidth and your time to upload and download them,
not to mention the disk space consumed to store them.
And Adobe Reader
has been known to have serious security flaws exploited by malicious PDFs that only compound the trouble of this antiquated technology,
including virus-laden PDFs that look like they were sent via major, branded e-sign vendors.
In fact, CNN reported Adobe has an epically abysmal security record
in just about all of their technologies as well as their corporate record keeping.
NOTE: Open eSignForms allows documents to be exported in digitally signed PDF format to support legacy systems. Naturally, this PDF exporting
makes no use of Adobe products to keep them free of viruses and other vulnerabilities.
Why shouldn't I just use a PKI (public key infrastructure) solution?
PKI has been around for a long time, but it has not taken off except in a few
high security niches. The reason is that PKIs are complex, very expensive and suffer
interoperability issues. The costs and pains of creating, distributing and keeping
digital certificates secure on thousands of computers has been too high to make it
cost effective except in small, closed networks. In a PKI, it is important to
train all users how to keep their certificates secure (even when they upgrade
their computers, have them serviced, replace a hard drive or when a virus strikes),
install special software
on every computer, and then exchange the public keys of all parties involved.
Needless to say, PKIs simply have failed to scale outside of specialty networks.
Our technologies use the same digital signature technology behind
a PKI, but they have removed the need to annually distribute certificates (there are none!),
exchange keys (they are fully managed by the secure server),
install special software or worry about keeping all users' computers secure.
PKI versus EBIA (Email-based identification and authentication)
Yozons Technology has streamlined PKI and created a better way to do business, taking its best points and
transforming them into a far easier to use, secure system that doesn't require complex software,
expensive digital certificates, hard to manage keys. You use the documents you already use
as well as the email addresses you and everyone else already have.
That's the key to our success (and our patents): significant cost savings,
yet easily adoptable by you and all the many parties you need to communicate with.
Mr. Garfinkel, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and
author of Database Nation: the Death of Privacy in the 21st Century, wrote an interesting article* in the
IEEE Security & Privacy journal. He explains that "email-based identification and authentication (EBIA)
is a reasonable approach for many current commercial and government applications. EBIA provides a better match to the
usability, privacy, autonomy, resiliency, and real-world business requirements than PKI [public key infrastructure]
He points out that "even sensitive applications that let us enter into binding business agreements worth thousands of
dollars and electronically transfer money between bank accounts, use EBIA."
To get EBIA right, it is important to determine that a given party can receive email at a given email address.
It is quite hard to intercept someone's email (except for the system administrators at the person's ISP or IT shop who
control the email or domain name servers). It is extremely easy to send email using anybody's email address.
In addition to using a user's de facto electronic id, the email address, we also send out email notifications
as a means to allow him or her to self-audit or detect misuse of the account. For example, if you change your password
or forgotten password question and answer, or get your password wrong multiple times in a row, an email is sent.
These can help you detect misuse of your account as well as keep you informed about activity pending in your web account.
If you forget your password, instead of sending you your old password (we simply cannot because we don't store
your password anywhere) or even emailing you a new temporary password, we instead send an email to your address and
require that you click on a unique link in order to continue.
When done right, these added precautions can mean the difference between EBIA working really well for you or
discovering that EBIA is providing no security whatsoever. Yozons does it right, and that's why experts consider EBIA to be
a workable solution that's better suited for business than even PKI and its digital certificates.
"Despite a tremendous push from management, security professionals, consultants, and vendors, the market
and the general public have been slow to adopt PKI," Garfinkel wrote. For PKI to have failed to gain widespread
adoption after so many years (the technology dates back at least to the early 1980s), the shortcomings must be real.
Garfinkel says explanations for PKI's failure include usability and cost, as well as the fact that "some experts
insist that the claims made for PKI are unjustified, because computer viruses and other kinds of malicious software
can compromise private keys or make people think that they are signing one message when in fact they are signing
another." Nevermind the fact that most PCs are not kept in secure rooms, laptops are lost or stolen daily,
people don't logoff when they step away from their computers (even if just for a brief moment),
people don't back up their encryption keys and trusted digital certificates,
and when people upgrade their computers they don't know how to transfer those encryption keys and digital certificates to the
new computer while ensuring that the same data are securely wiped clean from the old machines.
PKI has touted non-repudiation as its major benefit, but reality has shown that people can tamper with and
forge just about anything, including currency with its sophisticated paper, fibers, ink and printing processes.
As Garfinkel notes, "Unscrupulous people can forge passports, steal SSNs and private keys, and tamper with biometric databases."
PKI gives an illusion of perfect security, but "software flaws, stolen keys, or improperly granted
certificates" have proven that's not the case.
While Yozons knows of several Fortune 500 companies that have scrapped millions of dollars "worth"
of PKI digital certificates in favor of our technologies, Garfinkel also disclosed that even for the
United States military, which has deployed four million client-side certificates, "many mission-critical Web sites --
especially those used in combat situations -- rely on user name-password authentication" precisely because digital
certificates are not flexible enough to meet real-world needs. "While many organizations continue to invest in PKI,
another technique for identifying and authenticating Internet users is rapidly emerging in the marketplace."
That's EBIA.
While using email may seem insecure because it is sometimes transferred in the clear and "key employees at many
businesses and Internet service providers (ISPs) can browse or perform keyword searches on users' mailboxes,"
EBIA is used widely, implying that the security risks are reasonably attractive to banks, the military and many
other businesses. "EBIA has been successful because it combines ease of use with a limited challenge-response system
that is not trivial to defeat."
Garfinkel continues, "A key advantage of EBIA over PKI is that PKI requires specialty software and a
mutually trusted CA [certificate authority]. EBIA, on the other hand, can work with any email client
(or even with Web-based email), using email addresses available from hundreds of thousands of different
email-granting organizations (ISPs, companies, schools, government organizations, and so on)."
* All of the above quoted material is from the following article: "Email-Based Identification and Authentication:
An Alternative to PKI?" by Simson L. Garfinkel, IEEE Security & Privacy, November/December 2003, pp. 20-26.
What about PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) or other desktop encryption solutions?
PGP, created by Phil Zimmermann in 1991, is excellent software (as its the open source GNU Privacy Guard: GPG),
but it requires that all parties
purchase and install supported software, generate their encryption keys, and then exchange those keys
in a secure way. If you forget the password that protects your keys, you will
forever lock yourself out from your own documents and data!
PGP supports digital signatures that ensure the validity of a message or a file,
but does not easily support multiple, legal electronic signatures to be applied, nor
does it allow you to send a document and request the other party to sign your document.
Lastly, desktop encryption means that employees can surreptitiously send out
confidential business information without your consent or ability to detect it. This
can expose your business to various liabilities if the encrypted data includes
your trade secrets, employee records, financial information, pornography or threats.
Furthermore, encrypted messages cannot be scanned for viruses, audited or archived without
the keys, and if the employee loses, forgets or otherwise decides not to provide
those keys, your valuable data cannot be recovered.
What about S/MIME that's built into my Microsoft Outlook?
S/MIME, an international standard dating back to June 1999, is based on PKI so it suffers the same problems and
high costs. Like PGP, it provides authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation
using digital signatures and privacy and data security via encryption.
Despite being available for many years in the leading email clients, it's adoption simply has failed to
take off because of all the PKI headaches.
What's the difference between a digital signature and an electronic signature?
In a nutshell, most reliable electronic signatures are based on digital signature technology.
Digital signatures are created by hashing data to
produce a large number that uniquely identifies the contents (something like a DNA
test for data) in such a manner that any change would no longer produce the same
number. That number is then encrypted with your keys to prove that it belongs to
you. Electronic signatures are a legal standard that may use
digital signature technology, but they also require consumer disclosures, consent to
use them, proof the user knew the signature was being applied on their behalf,
and the assurance that each party is allowed to have an
independent copy to prove exactly what and when it was signed.
We have more information on electronic signatures and
digital signatures
for those brave enough to wade into those waters!
Can I print an electronically signed document?
You can print the signed document and information that surrounds the
electronic signature, but a printed version is not legally binding.
Only the electronic document and electronic signatures together comprise the legally
binding original. What is interesting, though, is that because electronic documents and signatures
can easily be copied, backed up, archived, etc., all copies that are electronic are considered
to be legally recognized originals provided the signatures can be re-verified.
For your legal protection, you should keep the electronic document and electronic signatures
in order to be able to re-validate the signatures in the future because it's so easy to
spoof, forge or tamper with anything that's printed on paper or stored in non-digitally signed electronic
Even a Adobe PDF or other electronic file that simply contains images of or information
about the electronic signatures is not legally binding without the
electronic signature information in a form that you can use to re-verify the signatures. It
is very easy to create PDF files and images that appear to be electronically signed, so never
rely on appearances and instead rely on being able to re-validate the signatures using software.
Furthermore, you cannot combine electronic signatures with handwritten signatures precisely because
the handwritten signature will be on paper and there is no way to verify the electronic signature
information that appears on paper.
Why should I choose Yozons?
Yozons is privileged in that we can focus our energy on our patented,
market leading, secure business process and electronic contracting technologies.
Yozons, Inc. was founded in 2000, has been profitable since 2002, and has a
high caliber client list that spans the Fortune 500 through small businesses.
We treat our customers, employees and partners the way we like to be treated,
and this simple, yet rare, policy has served us well. Our technology is proven,
secure, fast, inexpensive, reliable, scalable
and doesn't require client software, plug-ins, special email clients, PKIs or any other obstacle to

Please read more details that make Yozons special on our About Us page, and what the world
is writing about us on Wikipedia.
Does Yozons act as a disinterested, trusted third-party like a notary with respect to our e-contracts?
No, Yozons is a technology provider. Unlike our competitors, our software is open source
as well as commerically licensed, allowing our customers to have their own branded systems instead of being forced to market our name
whenever they use our technology for their private business contracts. Each customer's data and user accounts are stored in its own database
and are not mixed in with data and users from other customers like those of our competition. We and our customers trust our software
because it's available to anybody and thus shows Yozons has nothing to hide and uses industry standard technologies to provide a powerful,
reliable, easy-to-use system that can't just disappear on the whim of an investor, acquirer or the like.
Yozons has no interest in your private documents and the parties you do business with, but you can trust that Yozons will help with any legal questions
regarding our software that might arise from of a dispute.
Yozons operates numerous properties that our customers use for our shared hosted systems, and many of our customers run our software on their
own private web servers that we manage or on their own servers in their data centers. We do not consider any of those
sites as being part of our web properties because they do not use our domain names.
The list is ever changing, but here are the various web properties Yozons operates now on behalf of our shared hosting customers:
eSign-Contracts™ and
Why does my business/industry
need to provide more detailed identity information to use the Yozons services?
Certain industries receive lots of complaints from end users who misdirect their inquiries to Yozons
because they are not able to reach or get satisfactory customer service from those in these industries.
Often such industries appear to mislead unsophisticated users into signing contracts they do not understand,
make terminating a contract more onerous than entering into the contract,
bill high rates without delivering quality products or services, do not return customer inquiries,
or repeatedly do not handle complaints to their customer's satisfaction.
Yozons knows that many in these industries do provide value when done professionally
and ethically, and the expectation is that those who purchase our services fall into this category.
For such industries -- including, but not limited to, coaching, debt relief and offers to sell or train for
home-based businesses -- Yozons requires additional information to activate an account, including the company's
federal tax id, state registration and a contact phone number that will be answered or receive a call-back
within 24 hours.
Why did Yozons terminate or not renew my service subscription?
If Yozons receives more complaints than it is comfortable handling, we may choose
to terminate service immediately (with a refund for any unused term) or simply not allow the service to be renewed
once the current term expires.
Yozons' terms of service demand only legal and ethical usage, and numerous complaints misdirected to us
indicate illegal or unethical usage. To avoid this, please provide quality service to your customers so that
they do not contact us for problem resolution or refunds.
RPost sued DocuSign, EchoSign and Adobe over patent infringement in 2011.
What does this mean for Yozons' products?
Yozons had never heard of RPost or their RMail product until they sued DocuSign. They just do not exist in our market.
These lawsuits are the latest in
a long series of patent
infringement lawsuits brought by this company. It appears they are destined to lose them all.
After learning about RPost, Yozons did a cursory review of the patents in question and is sure that it does not infringe them. Two of their patents
are really the same, with 6,182,219 dating back to August 1996 and 6,571,334 being a continuation of the '219 patent.
As Yozons was founded in August 2000, subsequent patents would not apply to Yozons as we would certainly be prior art.
These patents appear to cover "proof of email delivery," which Yozons has never done as our technology is
entirely web-based and makes no use of email for encryption, digital signatures, electronic signatures or audit trails -- in fact, there is
no Yozons component that works on email other than to send an email and process possible bounces or replies.
Yozons provides no SMTP, POP3 or IMAP products, and we certainly don't log any of the activities of those operating system services.
Previous lawsuits were against Goodmail's Certified Email Services, AOL and Yahoo! over their Certified Email
Services, Swiss Post for its Certified Email Services, Globalpex for its Certified Email Services,
Trustifi and Authentidate+USPS for its Postmarked Email
(June 2012 update: RPost lost this infringement lawsuit against Trustifi for a common reason that all other competitors are likely to rely upon),
Canada Post Corporation and Innovapost over its Certified Email Services,
ReadNotify over its Certified Email Service, Zix Corporation overs its Certified Email Services,
Privasphere over its Certified Email Services, Dimitry Kagan for operations of PointOfMail.com, and Rewpost.com.
Again, these are all email services and Yozons offers no email services whatsoever.
Recently, however, they have sued RightSignature, DocuSign, and EchoSign/Adobe, all competitors to Yozons.
We noted that PC Magazine compares DocuSign Pro to RPost Office, so that may explain that lawsuit.
The RPost CEO, Zafar Khan, seems to believe that if he says something, it must be true. He says in
"When part of that audit trail involves e-mail, it is on our turf: we pioneered the technology for proof of
e-mail and document delivery, including recording recipient reply or signoff on the message content." That sounds
clear and concise, but the patent claims make no such clear statements, and of course, Yozons does not keep an audit
trail of emails, proof of email delivery, or anything resembling them. All document creation, review and signing takes place on a web site
using server-generated keys and can be done without the use of email whatsoever.
If RPost were to sue Yozons for infringement, they would need to identify in our source code, and/or screen shots the specific elements
that they allege infringe specific claims in their patents, which we are comfortable with them doing as we do not
record such email matters as part of certifying email delivery (we do not have certified email delivery at all)
or in digital signatures of signed documents.
Unlike our competitors, everyone is free to review our source code, create a runnable deployment, view our online demo, etc. because
software that requires secrecy is probably insecure.
If RPost (or any others) do not do this basic due diligence on our publicly available source code, online demos and what our web site clearly advertises,
it will prove the lawsuit is malicious, unfounded and will allow us to seek damages and our legal fees.
RPost clearly does not own patents that cover the use of email for electronic signatures. First, email all by itself
can be used to create legally valid electronic signatures. Second, digitally signed email using PGP (created in 1991) and
digital signature technologies (Diffie-Helman 1976, RSA 1978) all predate RPost's patents and can be used for electronic signatures.
Furthermore, SMTP and POP/IMAP all have logging features as there is nothing novel or non-obvious about logging activities performed by software.
Their '219 and '334 patents start off Claim 1 with,
"A method of authenticating a dispatch and contents of the dispatch transmitted from a sender to a recipient,
comprising the steps of: sending content data representative of the contents of the dispatch, and, a destination of the
dispatch associated with said recipient, to an authenticator functioning as a non-interested third party with respect
to the sender and the recipient, to be forwarded to said destination; receiving a representation of authentication
data that has been generated by said authenticator, said authentication data comprising a representation of the
following set A of information elements: a.sub.1 --comprising said content data, and dispatch record data elements
a.sub.2, . . . , a.sub.n which includes at least an indicia a.sub.2 relating to a time of the dispatch which is
provided in a manner resistant to or indicative of tampering by either of the sender and the recipient, and an
indicia a.sub.3 relating to said destination of the dispatch, wherein at least part of said authentication data
is secured against tampering of the sender and the recipient, and wherein said authentication data includes a set
B comprising one or more information elements b.sub.1, . . . ,b.sub.m generated by respectively applying functions
F.sub.1, . . . ,F.sub.m to subsets S.sub.1, . . . ,S.sub.m comprising selected portions of said set A, where said
functions F.sub.1, . . . ,F.sub.m can be different from one another and said subsets S.sub.1, . . . ,S.sub.m can be
different from one another, and wherein said authentication data does not comprise an encrypted representation of
said content data and said dispatch record data which is encrypted with a secret key, either symmetric or asymmetric,
associated with said recipient."
Each of our founders has a masters degree in computer science, over 30 years software expertise and over 10 years electronic signature expertise,
yet each has a hard time even understanding what that says. However, we are comfortable we do not do what it describes as we do not certify
the contents of any such dispatch from a sender to a recipient -- there is no static document transmission (dispatch) from a sender to a recipient
other than standard SSL/TLS web page POST and GET requests when deployed over standard HTTPS by a web server running our software.
We have no tamper-resistant time of the sender's email (time of dispatch), just when it was created on the server by the first party (who could take as much time as necessary to complete
it before it would move to a second party, if such a party is defined for the work flow). We do record when
each party first retrieves a document for processing and when it was last updated, but it's just in the database and logs and is not tamper-resistant or tamper-evident and the
last updated time changes each time it's processed further, and of course these have nothing to do with the time of dispatch as described in the claim. If a subsequent party
is a user of the system, it is possible that no notification is even sent and is simply processed via the To Do queue, and if an email notification is sent, there is no
tamper-resistent time recorded of the time of that transmission as it could remain queued in the outbound email processor for up to one minute (or longer if the SMTP server is
not accessible), and then remain longer in a traditional SMTP outgoing email queue, wholly unrelated to our technology, until delivered (the actual transmission), a bounce is received,
or it times out and the SMTP server removes it from its queue.
The function of our technology cannot be used as described by the patent,
"for [a] sender to prove that specific information has been sent at a specific time to [a] specific receiving party."
We are not about certified delivery, but about document work flow managed on a centralized web server operated by our customers and open source users.
And while we do apply a standard XML Digital Signature as each party processes a given document at its current state (rendered documents change as they are
processed at each step), it is not related to "authenticating a dispatch and contents of the dispatch transmitted from a sender to a recipient," but is simply what all
digital signatures do: create a reliable record at a given point in time based on cryptography -- what we call a snapshot of the HTML document and XML data at a given step.
There is no separate "authentication data" distinct from the "content data" (static document), nor is there any specification of
a "destination of the dispatch" (there is no such destination as the document remains on the server and only has different parties who, if so defined, can
process the document further by accessing the server where the document template and current data set reside, and parties are not fixed and
can be changed or skipped during processing and thus there is no need to "provide in a manner resistent to or indicative of tampering by either of the sender or the recipient").
We do not have keys associated with senders or recipients (or any user), so we clearly do not have a "dispatch record data which is encrypted with a secret key,
either symmetric or aymmetric, asssociated with said recipient." We do not even function as a non-interested third party.
Unlike email that has a sender and one or more recipients and documents are actually transmitted from one party to another, Yozons' technology works with as few as one party,
and nothing about the documents being signed or processed are transmitted from one person to another. In our technology, the first party (sender?) does not need to specify
the second party (recipient, should a second party even be required) and does not transmit the document (contents of the dispatch) as only form fields specified in the document
are transmitted over the network (HTTP name-value pairs) as a document is a template in which each party may fill in fields defined in the document or
even overwrite fields previously filled out by other parties, and the parties may not even access the same documents because the first party may use one document to specify various data values
that then populate one or more other documents that a subsequent party processes (and which the first party did not process) while never seeing the document filled in by the first party.
The first party may not even see a document at all as it may just post initial data values used by subsequent parties.
This is because documents and contents of dispatches are nothing like that described in the patent or as used in email.
In order to not violate the patent, only one of the various arguments above needs to be true. And this also
applies to the other independent Claims 30, 60, 71 and 82, which is similarly different from how our technology works.
Their patent 7,707,624 was filed in November 2003, years after Yozons was operational, and starts off Claim 1 with,
"A method of providing a recipient of an email with proof of the transmission, receipt and content of a reply
to the email that is manually initiated by the recipient,..."
Yozons does not do that.
Their patent 7,865,557 was filed in March 2007, years after Yozons was operational, and starts off Claim 1 with,
"A method of transmitting a message from a sender through a server to a destination address for submission to
a recipient displaced from the destination address including the steps by the server of receiving a message at a server
displaced from a destination address of the recipient of the message; transmitting the message to the destination address;
storing at least a portion of a mail transport protocol dialog generated during the transmission of the message between
the server and the destination address for subsequent proof of the message and the delivery of the message by the server
to the destination server, wherein the mail transport protocol dialog between the server and the destination address
includes matters relating to the identities of the server and the destination address and relating to the message;
generating an attachment to the message including the mail transport protocol dialog,..."
Yozons does not do that.
Their patent 7,966,372 was filed in July 2000, a month before Yozons was operational, but starts off Claim 1 with similar language
to the '557 patent,
"In a method of transmitting a message from a sender to a recipient through a server displaced from the recipient
and of authenticating the message, the steps at the server of: receiving the message from the sender, transmitting the
message to the recipient, storing at the server at least a portion of a mail transport protocol dialog generated by the
server and the recipient during the transmission of the message between the server and the recipient, receiving at the
server an indication from the recipient that the message has been received at the recipient from the server, maintaining
the message and additionally creating a digital signature of the message for later authentication of the message by the server,
and transmitting to the sender the message, the digital signature of the message, and the at least a portion of the
mail transport dialog before any authentication of the message for storage by the sender."
Yozons does not do that.
Do any of those sound like they own a patent on all electronic signatures that include email as part of the audit trail like their CEO said?
Using email to notify a person over the Internet is not novel and is obvious to all people, not just experts in the field. After all,
that's why email was invented. While we believe their patents may be valid, what they describe has nothing to do with our technology.
RPost founders Zafar Khan and Terrance Tomkow committed
"malice, oppression and fraud,"
according to Judge Stuart M. Rice. It speaks volumes about the integrity of RPost and its management team. In 2012, RPost began
patent infringement suits against "marketing companies" (some call them spammers) that embed "web bugs" into emails,
which are essentially unauthorized, hidden code added to email messages so marketing companies can track you against your wishes.

Dana Marschz is a failed actor-turned-high school drama teacher. Shortchanged in the talent department, Dana still harbors ambitions and passions. At work, that is; his personal life, with his dissatisfied wife Brie and their boarder Gary, leaves much to be desired. At Tucson's West Mesa High School, Dana sees himself as an inspirational teacher. But his adaptations of popular films, as performed by his top students Rand and Epiphany, are not resonating. When his latest--re-creating Erin Brockovich--is dismissed by the ninth-grade drama critic and his department is targeted for closure, Dana must reach deep into himself for creativity. After much perspiration, he conceives a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet--a musical-theater extravaganza that will disdain both political correctness and dramatic credibility. Rallying and rousing his class, Dana casts a wider net by recruiting transfer students like Ivonne for key roles. With rehearsals underway, objections from school officials and the community are soon raised, but Dana will not be denied his freedom of artistic expression. After all, "to thine own self be true." Dana gets unexpected support from ACLU attorney Cricket Feldstein and his favorite actress, Elisabeth Shue. Above all else, he fervently believes that his opus must be staged, and nothing can break his optimistic spirit.

STORRS, Conn. – On Jan. 16, 1961, the #4 Bradley men's basketball team knocked off #1 Cincinnati, 91-90, at Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse, a result against that eventually would be deemed Bradley Basketball's "Game of the Century." For 53 years, that win against Oscar Robertson's Bearcats stood as the only victory a Bradley University team had recorded against the nation's top-ranked team.
On Saturday night, Bradley Soccer earned the school's second all-time win against the nation's No. 1 team: Zach Kovacevic's third-minute penalty kick goal stood up as the only score of the night and the Braves (3-2-0) held on for a 1-0 victory at #1 Connecticut (2-1-1) at Morrone Stadium. Bradley improves to 1-4-0 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams.
The Huskies, who have been ranked No. 1 in the Soccer America Top 25 poll each of the last two weeks, saw their 39-game regular-season home unbeaten streak come to an end in front of 3,977 fans, the largest crowd to ever witness a Bradley Soccer victory. The Huskies were 34-0-5 in their last 39 regular-season home games, dating back to a 3-0 loss to Boston University Sept. 5, 2009.
Bradley was awarded the early penalty kick when senior forward Chris Olivera was clipped by UConn keeper Andre Blake while trying to run onto a ball flicked into the penalty area by defender Grant Bell. Kovacevic, a fourth-year junior defender who had taken but two shots in his entire Bradley career entering the match, calmly stepped to the spot and buried the penalty kick for his first career goal.
Though UConn outshot Bradley, 7-3, in the first half, the Huskies did not manage to put a shot on goal until the 68th minute. The hosts turned up the heat at that point, finishing with a 20-6 advantage in shots and 11-3 margin in corner kicks, but Bradley senior goalkeeper Brian Billings made five saves to record his third shutout of the season and 16th clean sheet of his career. In the process, Billings climbed to fourth in Bradley history with his 270 career saves.
Bradley will continue its lengthy, 5-game road swing next weekend by visiting Denver Friday night and Air Force Sept. 22, before returning home to host #11 Cal State Northridge Sept. 28 at Shea Stadium. Including last weekend's trip to the UNLV Nike Invitational, Bradley's 5-game road swing will take the Braves nearly 7,500 miles by the time they return home from next Sunday's game at Air Force.

Other Modernities: (the) Architectural Canon in Translation. At the beginning of last century, avant-garde movements such as the Bauhaus, Vhkutemas and Russian Constructivism defined the architectural canon. Through post-war migrations, media exposure and architectural tourism, these ideas came to be tested in places like Latin America and Africa. What ensued was a profoundly rich artistic exchange that eventually transformed modern architecture into the plethora of ideas that are ever so relevant today. This seminar will examine and interpret the tensions present in this two way exchange.

BBC World Service Posts Record Audience; Global News Reach Also at All Time High
Great news from the BBC as it announces a record global audience estimate of 192 million for the World Service, and 256 million for its global news services overall…
With significant gains in its Arabic and Persian audiences, the BBC World Service now reaches a record 192 million people each week – an increase of nearly 12 million.
Combined audiences for the BBC's global news services reached a record 256 million — a 7% increase over the previous year.
Said Peter Horrocks, Director of Global News, "This is a milestone for the BBC, with more than a quarter of a billion people tuning in to radio, TV and digital services every week. Today's figures shows there is a growing worldwide audience for impartial, trustworthy journalism. This is an enormous achievement and cements our position as one of Britain's most successful and influential global brands."
Success stories include the Arabic and Persian gains – from a combined 28.7 million to 41.5 million. Use of the BBC's digital products now stands at 38 million, an increase of 8 million. The BBC also notes audience increases in Hindi.
Additional highlights include:
* An increase in the television audience by 10.7 million; radio declined by 300,000 – statistically flat
* Arabic audiences in Egypt jumped by 6.5 million
* For the first time, Libya and Darfur surveys were conducted and yielded audiences of 1.9 million and 800,000, respectively
* Use of Nigeria's mobile applications soared 250%, but actual numbers were not made available
The BBG will release its annual global audience estimate in November. In 2012, the BBG estimated its audience at 175 million people weekly. Midyear tracking has the BBG's rising to approximately 200 million.

TCM's Friday Night Spotlight is back after the month of 'Summer Under The Stars.' This month's pick for Friday Night Spotlight is about Hollywood during the pre-code era. Pre-Code Hollywood was a time that Clasic Hollywood pushed its boundaries on hot topics. In other words this: generally considered to be the era in the American film industry between the introduction of sound in the late 1920s and the strict enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code beginning in the mid-1930s, that's all according to TCM.
The classic movie channel is sharing a variety of these movies and it starts at 8 p.m. ET with the movie "Baby Face." But it's interesting to note that there will be showing the pre-Code movies for 24 hours and Robert Osborne and Alec Baldwin will be hosts during primetime, so really the whole thing starts in the morning and the first movie to air is "The Big Shakedown," that movie will be airing at 6 a.m. ET time on TCM. So every Friday starting in the morning they will be airing the pre-Code movies and at night starting at 8, will be when the Friday Night Spotlight starts.
Here's a link that will show all the movies that will be airing on Fridays throughtout September. Some of those hightlights, are:
- "Freaks"
- "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932)
- "I'm No Angel"
- "Little Caesar"
- "Scarface"
- "She Done Him Wrong"
So check every Friday this September to watch some Pre-Code Hollywood. It's also the Friay Night Spotlight!

Butler Sweeps Volleyball, 30-21, 30-18, 30-27
Chicago, Ill. - After dropping a heart-breaking five-game match at the hands of Wright State on Friday night, the University of Illinois at Chicago volleyball team was looking to rebound in fine fashion on Saturday afternoon against the Butler Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs, however, did not comply with the Flames as Butler earned the 30-21, 30-18, 30-27 Horizon League sweep over UIC at the Flames Athletic Center.
With the victory, Butler improves to 10-6 overall and 2-0 in Horizon League play, while the Flames drop to 7-10 on the season and remain winless in Horizon League action.
Butler's Kali Carter led the way for the Bulldogs with a double-double of 13 kills and 11 digs, while teammates Megan Knightly (8 kills, 13 digs) and Krystal Hendrix (7 kills, 11 total blocks) each turned in impressive performances.
Blocking was key for Butler, as the Bulldogs - led by Hendrix - recorded 12 team blocks in the three-game match.
Junior middle hitter Kristi Herrington led UIC with eight kills, while senior outside hitter Teaha Shepperd added seven kills and 11 digs for the Flames.
UIC struggled throughout the match as they finished with a hitting percentage of .000 (31 kills, 31 errors, 120 attacks).
UIC will be back in action on Friday, as they will travel to Ohio to square off with Youngstown State in a Horizon League match at 6:00 p.m. (CST).

Dear sweet, innocent Pinterest users… you're now under my verbal attack. I found a few little nuggets to laugh at today, so I thought I'd share.
The caption under this picture was "Baked Banana Chips! Toddlers love 'em". No… no, they don't. You know what toddlers love? Candy, and lots of it. Don't waste your time making this crap, just buy a bag of Twizzlers, they have zero fat and keep them chewing so there's less crying. Terrible twos=solved.
On deck we have this lovely lady showing off her annoyingly flat stomach. The caption and accompanying link instruct us how to get a flat stomach ourselves in only two weeks. Let me start by saying that I have more rolls than Lambert's and it'll take something along the lines of four plus years to flatten this shit out. Secondly, this method may or may not work for someone that is already a size 6. You can't just wake up to a flat stomach… it takes hard work and dedication. (And blatant disrespect for all things yummy.)
I'm a pretty awesome aunt that is always looking for cool new things to bring my nephews but this death trap is NOT on the list. Let's just say that we load this bad boy up with toys and one child rolls it into the other… disaster #1. Then, that same evil child number one stuffs child number two into the round toy box and convinces him it's safe to roll down the stairs… disaster #2. Finally, who the hell want's a rolling toy box?! It's not like they actually keep their toys in there for very long, they're usually strung around the house. Waste. Of. Money.
Disclosure: The following images were really on my Pinterest feed. I did not randomly find images on the web. If you don't agree with my humor, that's just fine. I have fun laughing and making fun of the silliness. Don't take life too seriously. I'm foul mouthed and hilarious. Live with it.

On Tuesday, the Bobby Bones Show announced via their website that the grand total raised was $59,066. The fundraiser began after an on-air interview with Jason Aldean earlier this month. In the course of the interview, Bobby Bones had asked Jason Aldean what his charitable interests were. The country singer explained that he's been donating to Susan G. Komen for about eight years.
Jason Alden further explained that he has a friend whose wife died of breast cancer at the young age of 29, and she left two children behind. That sad experience inspired him to donate to breast cancer research in hopes of finding a cure.
Bobby Bones had proposed that his show would try to raise $50k for Susan G. Komen if Jason Aldean would agree to play a show with the show's in-house band The Raging Idiots, which features Bobby Bones and the show's Digital Content Producer, Eddie. The Raging Idiots concert would then benefit St. Jude Hospital.
Jason Aldean agreed to the challenge and the rest, as they say, is history. Bobby Bones spent the week doing a fundraiser full of all kinds of crazy antics meant to inspire fans to donate. Some of the antics included getting all the men of the show to post shirtless selfies, the show's producer Ray being forced to listen to Jason Aldean's "Burn it Down" for 24 hours straight, and putting Bobby Bones' co-host Lunchbox, who is afraid of snakes, into a room with a snake for two minutes. Listeners responded to the goals and the Susan G. Komen Foundation is now $59,066 richer.
There's been no word yet on when Jason Aldean will play with The Raging Idiots, but a sell-out crowd for the show could mean a great boost to St. Jude's efforts as well, which would make the #50kWithJasonA challenge a raging success all the way around.

It's All in the Details
Hello Blue Sky Friends,
Have you ever had the perfect cardigan? The one that goes with everything and looks appropriate for almost any occasion? The Primavera Cardigan is that cardigan.
Cecily Glowik MacDonald designs everyday sweaters, with a twist. A box pleat, takes this cardigan far from a store bought counterpart. Knit in one piece, in sumptuous 100% baby alpaca it is an attainable sweater for the beginning knitter to the most advanced knitter looking for a straightforward and wearable piece. The Primavera Cardigan, in Blue Sky Alpacas Sport Weight is a decadent everyday sweater.
Blue Sky Alpacas Sport Weight comes in thirty-four colors, including three new colors released with this collection.
Callalily (546) is a pure, rich white; Hydrangea (547) a regal purple; Aquamarine (548) reminiscent of the March birthstone. Blue Sky Alpacas Melange is the same weight and gauge as our Sport Weight. Melange is a heathered version of Sport Weight with eighteen colors to choose from. That is fifty-two total colors to choose from for this cardigan. Or one color for each week of the year, however you choose to look at it.
Just keep knitting, knitting, knitting…

Three More Colors
Hello Blue Sky Friends!
I hope you are doing well. Have you had the opportunity to check out Blue Sky's Spring 2012 Catalog? The Blue Sky Staff is really excited and proud of this collection. I brought a copy to holiday events this past month to share with my family and friends. Everyone, even non-knitters were pretty blown away. Something I noticed as other people examined the catalog was that at times, people didn't realize that new colors were included in the catalog. We have three new colors in Alpaca Silk. Alpaca Silk is a favorite of mine, you may recall from my excitement over the Siivet Pullover.
This yarn drapes like a dream. It also has a sophisticated sheen from the silk content making it extremely versatile. This yarn is for all seasons and for all occasions. The new colors we have in the Alpaca Silk this season include Sand Dune (151), Cypress (152), and Dove (153). For a light, khaki brown, Sand Dune is for you. This is a lovely neutral, like an antique cameo necklace. It will pair wonderfully with almost every other color of Alpaca Silk. One thing I personally love about this brown is that it goes well, even with other neutrals. This brown is light enough to go with black, gray or browns. Next up in the line up is Cypress. Words that come to mind: lush, jungle, vegetation, rich. I have a hard time imagining some one not looking absolutely fabulous in a color with this depth. This canopy of color will look great for all seasons. Dove is the last new color we released this Spring. This is a light platinum gray with a subtle blue quality. An icy gray, reflective of winter. I love the idea of using this color in place of white to add more dimension to a piece. This color collection had added some really lovely qualities to our already vast Alpaca Silk palette.
Now, if you are as in love with these Alpaca Silk colorways as I am, you'll really be delighted by another Vladimira Cmorej design. (She also designed the Siivet Pullover). The next design in the catalog is Vladimira's Shell. This sweater is so simple, with the perfect detail. A solitary motif adorning the neckline takes this from "just a pullover I bought at the store" to something with truly hand made appeal. Vladimira is incredibly talented. Her work is meticulous, and I can picture this perfect shell worn just about everywhere. Paired with a dress blazer (perfect motif placement), is one of my favorite ways-to-wear. Perfection…in a sweater. Look for more of Vladimira's designs in the future, she's a knitting genius.
Just keep knitting, knitting, knitting…

What is the advocate's role? these are the questions and concerns we will dig into!This webinar is for sexual assault advocates who are interested in: learning more about teen consent and confidentiality in the healthcare setting; gaining new tools and resources for working with medical providers; and discussing ways to enhance support services to teen survivors.

Alright, I love this song for some odd reason. So I decided to do a music video for it. I was thinking of doing a half and half movie, with half of one final fantasy then half of another, but I couldn't figure a transition even with the transition in the music, so I kept it was Final Fantasy 9, which I believe turned out well. Also...I think this should have been a preview or something of the game! XD It turned out looking like one!
Song: Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine by the 5th Dimension

It's been a few months since we last heard from the developers of Carbon for Android. Before today, the last tweet from the Carbon for Android Twitter account was posted on October 4. Before then, we were told to expect a release in the near future. Of course, Carbon for Android went silent and some users have since moved on to other great Twitter applications such as Falcon Pro. However, out of nowhere, the Carbon for Android developers have re-emerged. There's no set release date for the app, but Carbon's Twitter page says we'll be notified a day or two before it releases in Google Play.
Since coming back onto the scene, Carbon has received a skeptical reception from once eager users. The developers are responding by admitting they messed up.
"You're skepticism is in the right place, we've got heaps to prove now!", reads on tweet. "You know that, and we know that too."
On the plus side, Carbon is done with beta testing. The next time the app is released, it will be the full and complete version. The developers are also considering sharing a demonstration of the app just to show Carbon is still a reality. At this point, I think people are over sneak peeks and betas. They just want Carbon to put up or shut up.
How about you? Are you still a believer, or are you over the Carbon hype?

An interview with the highly talented Songwriter and Composer, Miss Lauren White.
Please introduce yourself to the readers:
My name is Lauren White Murphy and I am a singer, songwriter and composer from Dublin, Ireland.
How and when did you first get into writing and performing?
I always had an interest in music. I started playing clarinet and saxophone when I was really young, and used to write little pieces that came into my head. I learned piano too and joined a marching band so I was surrounded by music all the time. When I was in school, I sat at the back of science class, bored to tears, so I started writing lyrics and humming tunes and when I got home I would finish it and have a catchy song completed.
Who were some of your biggest inspirations?
I grew up listening to all kinds of music but my writing started off like the Corrs. They were my muse. I dissected their music and wanted to do better, but they really brought me to my happy place. Nobody does music like them anymore. Also, it's so easy on the ear. They are definitely a huge inspiration to me. Also Stevie Nicks. Her writing is remarkable, and made me want to be a composer
What kind have training have you done?
My mother spent a fortune on lessons on several instruments. I went to Waltons School of Music in Dublin, had my voice trained and was in choirs throughout my school days. I also took music in school and really excelled in it. I went to NUI Maynooth for University and started training as a school teacher, but then I realised it wasn't for me. I enrolled in the Ballyfermot Rock School and that's when I really took songwriting and music production seriously. It is an amazing school and has a lot of strong graduates who have been very successful.
Tell Us about your success so far?
I have been really fortunate as a composer and songwriter. I managed to get all the opportunities myself. Eurovision projects have been so much fun. In Ireland, it's really the only renowned platform as a songwriter and it's a fantastic way to network and make money. I used to contact respected writers and send my stuff and then they would write with me, simple as that. I would help a lot with different projects for other countries as well, but I made money and helped people with their projects. It was never about fame or glory, it was work and passion for an art. I have written music for shows; Katherine Lynch and RTE, pitched songs to amazing artists, did Eurovision for Ireland, Malta, Azerbaijan and I have even sent my music to the music supervisor for the 007 Bond Movie Skyfall! I wasn't successful, but I networked and it drove me to keep going and in the end, I got a publishing deal because of it.
What projects do you have coming up?
I am always writing. I want to do more tv and film scoring. I enjoy arranging music for things like that. I wouldn't say no to writing for more pop artists, either. I never plan anything. if things pop up, I am so grateful and do my best. I always want the artist and team happy!
Who would be your ideal artist to write for and why?
Again, I don't really have a preferred artist to write for, I think I could do a good job with just about anyone. It would be great to write with the artists that I looked up to, but I just want to see someone reach success and who has an immense amount of passion for music, perform one of my songs. It's the greatest gift to give an artist who doesn't write, and to see other people sing YOUR lyrics, YOUR tune and it makes everything well worth it.
What are your plans for the future?
I have my eye on a Grammy. I said it as a child. I will not stop until there is one on my mothers mantlepiece. I just want to keep working hard, and create wonderful opportunities. I rose to the top in Ireland on my own and I want to keep going!
What is your advice to aspiring writers and composers?
My whole outlook on life is to follow your dreams, you only have one life, so LIVE IT. When it comes to writing music and performing, just go for it. You are given a talent and a gift so use it. Make things happen. Don't try and be Bob Dylan or Bono or Madonna, be you, use your experience and create magic! :)

If you haven't already guessed from our love of all things bacon, we're unabashed carnivores 'round these here parts. To us, there ain't nothin' that says summer like the sizzle of steak on a barbeque. Mmmmm. But we're pretty darn bad at sussing out the doneness level of meat, so to ensure our grass-fed organic beef investment is nice and juicy, we use Sur La Table's Reusable Steak Button Thermometers. ($12 for a set of 4) It takes the guesswork out of grilling… Nice. Now to find the perfect marinade...

Amazing Volume!Before I tried this mousse, I tried a zillion volumizers and my hair always fell flat a few hours after I dried it. This is the best volumizing product Ive ever tried...

Best Stuff In The World!This is the best volumizing product I have ever used!! Atleast if you have hair that you like to be able to put your fingers through while still remaining full and light. I have fine hair, and I have been using volumizing products all of my life. This is the only one I have come across that gives me an incredible light-weight feeling, my hair actually feels softer with this product in it while adding so much volume. Its so weightless, it bounces. I use this product before blow drying with a round brush. I never use or even attempt to venture to something else, its amazing! Just make sure not to use too much which might possibly weigh hair down instead.

After several websites released rumors that HP's Slate 7 UK launch would be delayed until June, the company has just released an official UK launch date of May 1st. This date is in line with HP's original scheduled launch date which puts all rumors of delays to rest.
The Slate 7 features a 1024x600 display, 1GB of RAM, and is powered by a dual-core Arm Cortex A9 processor. Running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the Slate 7 will retail for 129 pounds, but after VAT, the cost will be much closer to 200 pounds.
There is still no word on when the US will see a Slate 7 launch, but with other more powerful 7-inch Android tablets at a better price point already being available, does it really matter?

The American retail giant Target entered the Canadian retail market in March 2013, when it opened 124 retail stores in Canada. Since then, the company has been trying hard to lure the Canadian consumers and increase its sales. The consumers have realized that Target is pricier than its rivals in Canada and the company's effort to change the consumers' perception has failed.
An article published by The Province tells us how the retailer's sales have been falling.
"More than halfway through its first year in this country, the U.S. retailer's sales here are falling well below initial expectations, Target Corp. executives told an analysts' meeting in Toronto on Wednesday, admitting they are engaged in an uphill battle to change consumers' longstanding shopping habits."
The smoke screen created by the public relation department of the retail giant has fallen. The consumers in Canada have realized that Target has failed to provide them with 'low cost' offers, similar to what it offers to its US customers. However, the article posted by The Province informs that Target Canada will not change its prices.
"Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel reiterated to analysts that Target Canada does not need to change its prices, which are competitive with that of 'price leader' Walmart."
Only time will tell if Target Canada will be successful in wooing the Canadian consumers.

By using a series of stations or centers, students discover how a jet engine takes in air, compresses it, and burns fuel to make air expand. They learn how the air is then forced out the tailpipe to create thrust. An optional teacher demonstration combines all these components into a single tennis-ball-container engine. In part two of the lesson, students build a static, or nonmoving, model of a jet engine. At the end of the lesson, students use technical writing skills to explain how a jet engine works. Two student sheets are included.

Recalling Nokia's sudden move to acquire the software firm Symbian and make it open-source with the Symbian Foundation, I was just thinking what other manufacturers like Samsung will do since they also have a stake in the existing software firm.
Well, my question got answered to day, when Nokia announced that Samsung has agreed to sell out their stake in Symbian.
Samsung, which has been launching several handsets running on the latest version of the Symbian OS recently, has agreed to sell-out with the rest of the other Symbian shareholders to Nokia for $410 million. It's still not clear what type of OS new Samsung phones are going to run on then, or whether it will also take part in the new open-source Symbian Foundation, but it's likely that it will take part in the open-source Symbian Foundation movement as well.
