Why Do I Need a Dog Licence?
A dog licence helps you reunite with your dog if they are lost anywhere in the world. Dog licence fees not only support the return of pets to their owners, they assist in the adoption of homeless pets every year. Fees also pay for education and enforcement of our Animal Control and Licencing bylaw, as well as the cost for operating the local animal shelter.
How Old Does My Dog Have to Be to Get a Licence?
All dogs over four months of age must be licensed every year with the City of Maple Ridge.
How Much Does it Cost to Buy a Dog Licence?
The cost of licensing your dog depends on whether or not it is spayed or neutered. A discount is available if paid by January 31. For more information on fees and charges, review Schedule A of our Animal Control and Licencing Bylaw No. 6908-2012.Dog Type |

As any pest control professional will tell you, the key to pest prevention and elimination is identification. Every type of house pest has specific needs concerning its food, shelter (harbourage) and water, and it is absolutely necessary to discover what type of pest you are dealing with to design an effective strategy to remove them.
Other People Are Reading
Where Are They Living?
Knowing where pests live is the first step in identifying a pest. While well known pests such as cockroaches will often be found in and around the kitchen, lesser known pests such as weevils may be around the kitchen but they could also be near (or in) pet or bird food.
Are They Always Around?
Occasional invaders are pests that do not ordinarily spend time in homes but sometimes enter when something that they need is lacking outside. Often, occasional invaders will enter homes in extremely large numbers due to environmental conditions such as excessive or too little water outside.
What Are They After?
Understanding what pests want is another key to correctly identifying house pests. By understanding what type of food they are eating, the number of possible pests can be reduced. For example, ants are not always looking for sweets. While this is true in many cases, some varieties of ants prefer protein foods and others can change preferences at a moment's notice. In addition, some pests do not eat what people commonly think of as food. Silverfish are often found dining on various glues (in rugs, books and wallpaper).
Where Do They Live?
Look for pests or their excrement under and along baseboards, around gaps that lead to hiding areas such as cracks and crevices and electrical receptacles, around plumbing fixtures and in places where food is stored (including pet and wildlife foods).
How Do They Move?
Identifying how a pest moves is good way to make a quick assessment of what kind of a pest you are dealing with. Most house pests crawl, but there are several that fly, and a few that can do both.
What Do They Look Like?
Use glue boards to capture pests to make a proper identification. For crawling pests, place boards in areas where they have been seen (placing a small amount of whatever food they are eating will entice them onto it), or place them along walls because they tend to travel along them for safety.
Flying pests can be swatted with an open glue board to capture them in mid-air. Or place boards in an area they frequent, such as on a window sill. Keep in mind that high temperatures will melt the glue, allowing it to run, so do not leave them there for long periods.
Use a magnifying glass to get a close look at the pest and either bring the specimen to your local county extension office for identification, or use the online pest library of large pest control companies such as Terminix that have pictures and descriptions of various pests and their habits.

In San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles and elsewhere, the legacy of Airbnbs' gold rush has been decidedly mixed. Airbnb is not merely a "community-driven hospitality company," as its founders like to say, but also a catalyst for massive lawbreaking, a tax rogue and, tragically, an impetus for the eviction of longtime tenants, including the elderly, the disabled, children, even people with life-threatening illnesses….

Americans Express Increasingly Warm Feelings Toward Religious Groups
Americans generally express more positive feelings toward various religious groups today than they did just a few years ago.
Educational Attainment of Religious Groups by Country
There are important differences in educational attainment among religious groups living in the same region — or even the same country.
How Religious Groups Differ in Educational Attainment
A new Pew Research Center global demographic study shows differences in educational attainment among the world's major religious groups.
Religion and Education Around the World
Jews are more highly educated than any other major religious group around the world, while Muslims and Hindus tend to have the fewest years of formal schooling. But all religious groups are making gains, particularly among women.
One-in-Five U.S. Adults Were Raised in Interfaith Homes
Roughly one-in-five U.S. adults were raised with a mixed religious background, according to a new Pew Research Center study.
Video: Israel's Religiously Divided Society
American and Israeli Jews: Twin Portraits From Pew Research Center Surveys
Pew Research Center has surveyed Jewish adults in Israel and the U.S. and has found deep bonds between them. Nevertheless, their experiences and perspectives are very different.
Evangelicals Rally to Trump, Religious 'Nones' Back Clinton
Religion in Everyday Life
A new Pew Research Center study of the ways religion influences the daily lives of Americans finds that people who are highly religious are more engaged with their extended families, more likely to volunteer, more involved in their communities and generally happier with the way things are going in their lives.
Israel's Religiously Divided Society
There are deep divisions in Israeli society over political values and religion's role in public life — not only between Jews and the Arab minority, but also among the religious subgroups that make up Israeli Jewry.

Breakthrough Pain: More Than Just a Pain in the Neck
Have you ever had an extraordinary pain that doesn't respond to medication, one that has a team of doctors scratching their heads as they start the pharmacologic dart game? I have. It's a thrilling MS tale of pain, drugs, more pain and more drugs, and even more pain and even more drugs rounding it off with some relief, some breakthrough pain and ultimately some breakthrough revelations.
Let's go back to the year 2005. I was in the last year of a master's degree program at New York University. With a family, a commute and MS, I had to keep pinching myself to prove that I was really pulling it off. Unfortunately, my self-inflicted reminder was replaced with one that forced me to be acutely aware of every moment of every day.
As the story begins I'm on a train pulling into Penn Station. Reading a book, keeping to myself, when all of a sudden every muscle in my foot cramps up and the pain... come to think of it, it started very gradually - a cramping that would come and go. What happened on the train was unmistakable. I could no longer tell myself that I had sprained it, or walked too far on it. It was a sudden and very painful event. I tried in vain to massage it away. No luck. It quickly became clear that this pain had a mind of its own; it was attacking my feet without provocation and getting worse.
At my neurologist's office, I sat on the examination table and tried to describe it. "It's like the pain of labor- in my feet." And though my neurologist is a man, I felt certain that he would understand in concept, "You've heard it hurts, right?"
So I had labor "like" pains in my feet. Having experienced a more traditional labor, this relocation to my feet, with no pride-and-joy on the way, was not amusing.
This tightening quickly morphed into an intense pain that came in contraction-like waves. So, I might be sitting in class, listening and taking notes when suddenly my feet felt trapped in a quickly closing vice. And quite frankly, even that metaphor doesn't capture its intensity. This pain was off the charts, making it impossible to focus on anything else; my family, full time job and my degree in the making all suffered from the lack of attention.
And so began the six-month journey of untreatable pain, unbearable side effects and the frustration of not finding anything that would work for me.
The nurse clinician who worked with my neurologist walked me through the recipe. "Lets start with this one, add a dash of this one and perhaps a spot of this one. And oh, I've heard this one is fantastic!" Of course I'm joking, but I assure you it wasn't as far off as I would have preferred. She explained to me that everyone responds differently to medication (which of course, is the case of every aspect of living with MS!) and eventually they find a cocktail that works. Well, we tried every possible variation that one could achieve with 6 different medications. And while that seems overwhelming on paper- in real life it looked a lot worse.
Each medication had it's own little package of side effects, one more demoralizing than the last, including but not limited to: skin rashes, slow speech, yellowing of skin, uncontrollable shaking and my favorite - "changes" in weight which very often resulted in a sudden loss of wardrobe. My Rx list got longer; my pharmacy bill got larger my emotional fortitude thinner. And nothing was helping the pain. Just when I would reach the end of my rope, another drug suggestion would be made and I remained hopeful that this would be the one that worked. It didn't but I was done.
I made an appointment with a doctor who specializes in neurological pain and searched my stores for any residual optimism. (I always have something left in there!) And on the day of my appointment my pain ceased. (I thought, Damn... this guy is good!) But MS is funny like that. It can change on a dime. Knowing that this was more likely to be a brief reprieve we started a game plan.
He helped wean me off the mélange of meds that were crowding my cabinets and cells. And picked the one that he thought would most likely do the trick. So when the pain returned as we predicted, we finagled until we found just the right dose. We did. And while on most days I'm pain free, there are others where the pain breaks through the line of attack. And when I feel it, I'm reminded of that year... when this periodic pain was my everyday. And with my doctor's approval, I take an extra dose and smile- knowing what I've lived through and that now I'm in control of the drug that controls my pain.

At what age did you realise you wanted a career in food and where did you train?
It was no longer than 12 years ago, when I decided to cook for a living. Since I was a teenager I was trying my luck in the kitchen. It was a hobby to begin with, more than a passion. I always enjoyed cooking, first for my parents, then for friends and it stayed like that. I was working in many restaurants working my way up and I was really lucky because I was working with really good chefs and they were always happy to train me. Now it's totally different. Cooking for sometimes hundreds of people, managing big teams of chefs, very often not being able to cook, just instructing other chefs. It is a totally different ball game. It's very exciting now, but it was a long way for me to get here.
What are the challenges of catering for large numbers generally and specifically at Stationers' Hall?
The biggest challenge in catering for large numbers is timing. When doing a big event you always have to consider that whatever job, it will take significantly longer than doing it for few people. You have to consider that things during long prep can cool down, harden up or dry up. So very often you have to do big jobs in small stages. Planning is the most important thing when catering for large events. Experience helps a lot as there is no recipe on how to run the service.
At Stationers' Hall my biggest issue is the space. Once a year we hold the Trade Christmas Lunch, normally for around 300 people. When we prepare 300 plates of each dish we have to be very precise with timings and planning. At one time we can plate around 70 plates of a cold starter. They have to be stored somewhere while maintaining freshness and quality. I wouldn't be myself if I didn't mention limited oven space! But hopefully we will be able to overcome that issue in the near future.
How big is the team working in the kitchen at Stationers' Hall?
The core of the team is not that big, it consists of just 4 people. In catering you have to be much more flexible than in restaurants because on larger events I can have up to 12 chefs working at the same time. It all depends on the size and importance of the function. Obviously functions for Stationers' are absolute priority so even on small events I'm making sure that there are enough chefs, to run an event smoothly and with highest quality possible.
Do you see fads and fashions in cooking and if so how do you react to them?
I definitely see those, I like to try new things but l don't like to follow new trends too much, because very often they pass quickly and no one remembers them. I prefer to stick to a more classical style of cooking. I do like though modern cooking techniques like sous vide.
What do you like to cook for yourself?
I don't really cook for myself, just because I don't like half measures and spending hours to make a meal just for myself, that will be eaten in minutes is a little bit pointless. But If I do cook for myself it's normally something Asian, it's quick and healthy.
Do you have a favourite cook book and/or a food hero?
I have so many books that it's just hard to decide which one is my favourite. I think that the one that I'm coming back to the most is 'Galvin a Cookbook de Luxe' by Galvin brothers. My food hero is definitely my mum. She was always very passionate about cooking and I think that, partly because of her I'm doing what I'm doing now.
Do you keep a collection of your own tried and tested recipes which you might be tempted to publish one day?
I do have a few of my own recipes but I'm not a Michelin chef and I think that just those should be publishing books.
What do you think about media chefs? Are they helpful, inspirational or traitors to their art?
I don't think that the role that they play is very good for the industry. You can see that especially with the approach of young chefs to cooking. They don't realise how important experience is. After watching programs on TV or just following famous chefs on the internet, they think that they can do the same thing just because it looks so easy. They don't realise that whatever they see on screen was done before hundreds, if not thousands of times and it requires a lot of attention.
Have you got one foodie tip to pass on which our members will enjoy or find useful?
It's not a shame to fail in cooking, it happens very often in professional kitchens. My tip would be to find out what went wrong. Maybe the temperature was too high, maybe the oven was too dry or maybe you used too much of something. Learn from your own mistakes, home cooking isn't very measurable so just repeat things that didn't work out and you will find a way of mastering it. In my opinion that's the best way of learning how to cook. You have to understand the whole process.
In the office supplies industry and especially in the world of b2b, mobile has always been seen as a channel that is under invested, and it is still true today that the Office Supplies industry under indexes in mobile traffic in comparison to other e-retail industries.
However, it's worth noting that there is no longer such a thing as a single channel purchasing journey. Customers might have a preferred channel but they no longer interact exclusively through that channel and are often influenced or have researched their purchasing options across channels before buying. In order to compete in the office supplies market going forward, dealers must be able to start a dialogue or transaction on one media and continue it across others, ensuring they have a strong brand presence across all channels.
This coming January Google are planning their next big mobile algorithm update, which has been dubbed by the search community as the next phase of "mobilegeddon" and dealers must be prepared.
What are the key mobile changes to look out for in 2017?
Google to Divide its Index
To date Google has operated with a single search index covering both desktop and mobile usage, but following a recent announcement in October made by Gary Illyes, a webmaster trends analyst at Google, they now plan on releasing a separate mobile search index within months, which will become the main or 'primary' index that the search engine will use to respond to customer queries.
Google's mobile first strategy, should not come as a surprise considering most digital growth is now coming from the mobile channel, however quite how this will affect desktop search results is still unclear. For example, if you are not optimised for mobile, will your desktop rankings be penalised? If the mobile index is to become 'Primary' then how out-of-date will the desktop index become? What is clear once again, is companies like Google reiterating the importance of creating mobile friendly websites, so if you haven't made plans to move to a responsive web design solution, you really should make plans to overhaul your shop window soon.
Google will penalise mobile sites for pop-ups that obscure your view
Pop-ups that obscure the main content of a mobile site will now also negatively impact your keyword rankings and the ability for customers to find you on mobile devices.
Most of us agree that ads on mobile (pop-ups and interstitials) are annoying, yet in the world of m-commerce they are still frequently used to push promotional messaging and capture user details. Google's objective is to direct users to informative and optimised search result pages with clear content and strong user experience, so it seems reasonable that Google would look to start penalising sites by lowering rankings where content is not easily accessible.
Let's hope that with the introduction of the 'primary' mobile index, mobile websites that are ignoring the warning signs, do not start to see an impact on desktop.
Speed and Performance
Back in June 2016, Google announced that they were updating their page speed ranking factor to specifically look at the page speed of mobile pages. In the past many of Googles ranking signals were based on desktop web pages only, but in line with their love of all things mobile, Google has updated their algorithms to factor mobile page speeds.
In September this year, Google also announced its support for the new AMP technology and their plans to implement a new AMP icon on its mobile search results pages, enforcing the importance of ensuring your mobile site speed is optimised.
How will this impact office supplies dealers?
Office supplies dealers have to compete not only with other local dealers, but with online retailers and the giants like Amazon. It makes it even more important that any local searches for your products bring up your company name at the top of Google search. On average our dealer partners get 40% of sales online, and mobile traffic nearly accounts for 10% of global traffic across the group. Therefore, it's crucial to continue to optimise all online channels and take all the steps you need to ensure your customers can easily find you online. As mentioned before there is no such thing as a single channel purchasing journey, and your website is your 'Shop window' in the online world, so it's important that you future-proof it for all new visitors.
From now on, Google essentially won't make any distinction between mobile-friendly and non-mobile-friendly websites – all websites must be mobile friendly, and if they're not then your website will simply be penalised for it. According to Google, on average 56% of all their searches are now performed on mobile devices, so the algorithm updates are unsurprisingly supporting the Google mobile first strategy.
What to do if your mobile site is not mobile friendly?
At Office Power we have been working on a huge user-experience re-design project for our dealer partners which will be launched this January to coincide with Google's algorithm updates. Our partners will benefit from a fully responsive solution, built using the latest technologies to ensure we adhere to Google's guidelines.
If you haven't moved towards a mobile-friendly responsive website design, then invest now to ensure your potential new customers can find you across all channels. If you do have a responsive website design, then make sure it follows all of the latest guidelines. Check things like font sizes, load times, image sizes, button sizes and if you are still using mobile interstitial ads then start to think of an alternative advertising plan.

Q: What was it about teaching that first made you think "That's the career for me!"?
A: To be honest I'd planned to become a Lawyer, or a modern Russian Historian. I decided upon a PGCE after my History degree so that I could teach and earn a living, whilst I learnt Russian and sought further qualifications. However, pretty much instantly when I began

"As good almost kill a Man as kill a good Book" (Milton)
In his Areopagitica of 1644, John Milton put forward a passionate case for freedom of expression and the right to publish without hindrance. He himself was in some danger at the time of the Restoration when his books were burnt outside the Old Bailey, and removed from university libraries. It is a danger which has flared up at different times and in different parts of the world both before and since, and to this day people take enormous risks either to get a story or to publish an opinion which is not in line with standard orthodoxy.
In the late 18th century the Hall was refaced due to problems with the structure of the building such as the bulging on the outside of the walls. This was recognised by Robert Mylne, the Company Surveyor. The Court decided that this was also a good time to enhance the appearance of the Hall therefore round headed windows were installed, slates replaced the roof tiles and a new doorway was built.
Six plaques cast from coade stone on the frieze of the Hall were also added during this period. These cannot be easily seen as they are very high up!

British master papermaker James Cropper, owning the only facility in the UK capable of recycling standard coffee cups, recently featured on BBC One's War on Waste. Because of Liverymen Sir James and Mark Cropper's involvement we asked the company to comment.

It's impossible to un-ring a bell, yet over recent months both sides of this EU Referendum have said things which many would hope could be un-said.

Product Notes
Jamie Coulter Biography: On October 1966 A.B. and Marie Coulter gave birth to a new baby boy, in the small town of Crossett, Ar. But it wasn't long until they realized that it wasn't going to be the happy occasion as it was with the other six children that they have had in the passed. It wasn't long until the doctors shared with them that that their new born son, Jamie, had a rare disease called Osteogenusis Imperfecta, which in short term is brittle bone disease. The Coulters where devastated at the news. But, being the prayer warrior that she always ways, Marie,' prayed Lord if you can give him the power of life you can give him the power of healing.' Marie said, that her little son looked as if he was a little bird that had fallen out of a nest and was broken to pieces. But, what the Coulters didn't know at that time was God had his hand all over this little broken vessel. God did see the little fella through, but the road ahead was still rocky. Jamie and his family would experience many years of operations, broken bones and many visits and stays at the hospital. But even through the hard times they were going through, little Jamie began his journey that the Lord had in store for his life. At the young age of six years old Jamie began doing something that would follow him all through life, he started singing. First of all it began just at his home church, then one Sunday Jamie got up to do a special and there was a local gospel music promoter in the congregation who invited Jamie to sing at a local concert. That one concert opened the door of a life time. It was there that Jamie was invited to sing on the United Cerebral Palsy telethon in Monroe, LA., Which at that time had many Hollywood stars on the roster. Young Coulter went and sang one song,' The Crippled Boys Prayer' he had waited all day to sing and after his song, he was wore out. Marie was going to take Jamie home, so they left. After the Coulters left the telethon The phones began to ring off the hooks. Everyone wanted him to sing again. They had police and C.B. radio people trying to track them down to get him to return and sing again. But, Jamie was back home before he found out the news. The very next day the family received a call from one of the Hollywood producers that Jamie was invited back the next year to do the whole 'Weekend With The Stars Telethon.' It was that very thing that kicked Jamie's career off. Because of the brittle bones Jamie was never able to walk, but at a young age found that a skate board could make his little 3 ft. tall statue very independant. Jamie just hops right on that skate board and away he goes. He is a very out going person. He will pull a prank on you in a minute. Matter fact if anytime you are in Wal-mart make sure someone on a skate board does not jump out and scare you. Although, Jamie has had over 300 broken bones and over thirty major operations, he doesn't let anything get him down. Just as his precious mother was, who passed away on Feb. 14, 1997, Jamie's strong faith in God has carried the young man so far in life, and has effected the lives of so many poeple down through the years. Coulter has been with many of the Hollywood actors and actresses, country music and gospel music artist. He has performed all over the United States. In the year of 1992 Coulters life long dream came about, he performed on the worlds famous Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN. Country Music legend David Frizzell has written a kids project about the life of Jamie Coulter titled Jamie Boo. Which is a cartoon series which shares the humorous personality of the very inspirational little man on the skate board. Jamie Boo is still in the process of being put together. But Jamie Coulter Ministries is up and running more than it's ever been. In the Year of 1989 Jamie took another turn in the journey God had in store for his life, and he started preaching. He has preached many revivals across America and has seen many won to the Lord Jesus Christ. Jamie has a young daughter named Haley which is as healthy as she can be.If you look at the life of Jamie Coulter you can truly see the hand of God all over the extraordinary young man. Not only is Jamie a singer and preacher. But God has also blessed him to play the guitar and write songs. It is so amazing to just set in the congregation as Coulter gets up to do his thing. When Jamie gets up on that table and gets on that skate board. Gets his guitar in his arms, that is bigger than him, you forget he is 3 ft. tall when he began's to sing the songs that the Lord has given him. Then he is bigger than life as he preaches the word of God. I encourage anyone if you ever get the chance to go and experience this amazing miracle of a man, do not pass it by. Jamie and his Daughter still travel up and down the highways today sharing the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Haley has began to sing with Jamie and she is doing a great job. Some folks may say that when Marie Coulter prayed the prayer, Lord if you can give him the gift of life, you can give him the gift of healing. Her prayers didn't get heard but I truly say that they did. I believe that it's just all got to do with the journey that the Lord had in store for this extraordinary young man.

- Make it easy
When teaching technology or process related matters, use the commonly accessible tool as possible to keep things simple for your participants. For example, when teaching people how to blog, I find Blogger to be the friendliest tool around to demonstrate quick blog creation, blog customization, to blog monetization. - Show it is possible
You can't teach a person to do/use something if you don't do/use it yourself. Show that it is possible, that it can be done. In the end, it is all about credibility. Like, how can I teach you to sell stuff online, by having an e-commerce enabled website or blogging, if I don't do it myself right? - Share lessons learned
We all make mistakes and had our share of wrong moves. Acknowledging and reflecting on them can save your students a lot of time and take the necessary steps to do better than what you've done. - Give them a take-out
I find students always fond of templates, forms, samples, guide, among others. Focus on giving stuff that they can immediately use when they get back to their respective lives. - Help them succeed
A trainer succeeds if their students can do well in their endeavors and achieve their goals. This includes referrals to people who can help them to project exposure.
This success can also lead to a never-ending cycle of repeat business and new opportunities later on. - Be open to learning
There is always something to learn from every person that we meet if we only open our minds. The moment that motivation to learn disappears, we also lose our effectiveness to teach others. - Improve your thinking process
We all can improve in how we do things if we are always willing to challenge the way we think. The sharper you get, the more your students will benefit too.

PLAN AHEAD your blog or website
In the book "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership" by John Maxwell, he talked about the "law of navigation" - leaders charting the course. He encourages readers to PLAN AHEAD to ensure success. Translating this to a blog can refer to:
Predetermine a Course of Action
Using blogs as a tool to grow oneself. In Blogie's case, it is about promoting Davao, its IT sector, and his various advocacies.
Lay out your Goals
Whether that goal is about attaining a certain PageRank, attaining income or stature through it. Make that clear.
Adjust your Priorities
It will be very hard to dream of generating income through your blog if you don't assign a high priority in taking care of it.
Notify Key People
Communicate to those who need to know. This can include people with most influence in the field you are getting in and can help you spread the word on what you are doing. Or simply reach out by interacting with other blogs.
Allow Time for Acceptance
Success doesn't usually happen overnight.
Head into Action
Start doing with what you need to do. If this is a blog, then it can be a series of attention grabbing topics.
Expect Problems
They say it is part of the ripening process that we will encounter stumbling blocks once in awhile. Perhaps not being able to please everyone or getting into a fight or your control panel/server just gave up on you.
Always Point to the Successes
We shouldn't be shy in giving success updates regularly as your community plays an important or contributor to it. Share that happy moment as you thank their support.
Daily Review Your Planning
For the ultimate so-serious blogger, this can be checking of whether you are hitting your goals. Like checking your blog post traffic stats, technorati or ratified rank, mailing list membership, among others.
How about you? Did you PLAN AHEAD your blog or website? Share your story!

Leadership is influence
In the book "21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership," Maxwell explained that the following can't be assumed as leaders.
- Management
Managers can maintain direction but can't change it. Leaders can create positive change and move people to that direction because of their influence.
- Entrepreneurs / Salespeople
They can persuade people for a moment to buy items but not necessarily hold long-term influence with their customers.
- Knowledgeable persons or experts
Having great knowledge (as power) doesn't equate to leadership.
- Pioneers
Being the first is not the same as leading.
- Position
It is not the position that makes the leader. It is the leader that makes the position.
- Everyone influences someone.
Realizing your potential as a leader is your responsibility.
- We never know who or how much we influence.
- The best investment in the future is a proper influence today.
What kind of an influencer will you be? Positive or negative?
- Influence is a skill that can be developed.
Maxwell cited Robert Dilenschneider, author of Power and Influence: Mastering the Art of Persuasion, for sharing the idea of a "power triangle" comprised of communication, recognition, and influence. You start to communicate effectively. This leads to recognition and recognition in turn leads to influence.
- Level 1: Position.
People follow because they have to.
- Level 2: Permission.
People follow because they want to.
- Level 3: Production
People follow because of what you have done.
- Level 4: People Development
People follow because of what you have done for them.
- Level 5: Personhood
People follow because of who you are and what you represent.
Do you add value?
Hard work is required to gain influence and right to become a leader. If you influence people for your own gain, that shall be seen as manipulation. Positive influence can only take place when it presents clear benefits to everyone involved.Can bloggers be influential?
Blogs and the bloggers behind them have done or given something of value (joy, insight, inspiration, worthy cause, among others) that moves readers, at least most of them, to regard them as influential. How long will it last shall depend on how they'll evolve and mature.

Look back through past writings
Its first manifestation came in the form of a ring binder that contains print outs and cut-outs of past articles. I use that, along with my published books, whenever I apply for a travel visa. I lost track and haven't been able to do that for the past five years.
To gradually strike out this item in my "I wish I could" list, a new blog was just created for this purpose.
In my limited experience, writing in the early days of the Internet was different. There was a strong need to be rigid and compelling. There were no hyperlinks then but references that are not easily accessible for the readers. I knew a good piece when the thought of it still lingers a few days after writing it, especially the excerpts that meant so much. I still get that feeling once in awhile.
I also lost a big chunk of my "ranting" side as having the capability to come up with solutions compelled me to contribute in solving the problem or shut up. Although some of it serve as an inspiration.
Becoming creative and free once again in expressing one's thoughts mean getting rid of the "monsters" that silence us.
Being able to look back and reflect, I hope, will help in this journey. Be able to revive that passion for writing as intense as this song is.

Lessons Learned in Policy Lobbying
In a lot of these events, I don't necessarily disagree. But what irks me though is that they are raising that with the insinuation that I should work on getting it updated. This is where I encourage the person or group to take action if they truly believe in what they say. Some would get discouraged by me saying that but then again, I went through it. You can't just rant and expect things to move just because you complained.
This also heavily influences my attitude, conviction, and protocol in dealing with politicians, especially legislators. I work with those where I could achieve bigger policy agendas and have support for it. Not your usual wine and dine, social travels, get sponsorship or grant money of sorts, as every centavo they spent is taxpayer's money. The responsibility is there to deliver something that will bring great benefit to target constituents and not just satisfy personal or limited group interest.
As there are a lot of things in this area that are better left unsaid or unblogged, for the love of country and due process, I decided to share lessons learned through my Cyber Legislation Journal.

Blog revenue models, managing online finance, finding good writers
In doing some blog hopping today, I found myself reacting to the following topics:
- Wesabe is an online service where you can manage or track your finances. However, I don't think I'm comfortable in putting my personal financial information online. I'd rather do it still in my personal organizer.
- There is also the discussion on 7 levels of revenue for your blog. I get very concerned when some tend to bash potential earnings for Google AdSense. I still find myself thankful to it as it revolutionizes the online advertising sector. It would not have paved the way for more democratized online earning opportunities today. In my limited experience, most ad buys are seasonal. It is best to plan for the long term and establish your own network where you can sell/place ads. I still use Google AdSense for some of my sites and blogs while I've signed up the ones with high Google PageRank to my own small network. Combining AdSense with other programs still works well for me.
- I also found this finding good writer tips to be useful in building my content development program for club members. I should try it out soon.
Also, I'm now using my Ituloy AngSulong blog to record my travel adventures. I've roamed so many places in my nearly 11 years of e-commerce advocacy. I wish I was more diligent in taking pictures and record the places I've visited. My first topic is about my visit to the Alegre Guitar Shop in Cebu.

Growing together
- DigitalFilipino.com Club Member Job Openings
- Market Intelligence Digest (from PageRank 0)
- Fortune Reading (from PageRank 0)
These are great addition to my two sites that got PageRank 4 as well last January.
The last two were experiments on creating niche and wider audience blog. Seeing this achieve such a PageRank is a great break. It meant the site is ready to graduate from using Google AdSense and participate in our advertising sponsorship program.
I also found that some club members who joined our ad network have experienced progress with their respective PageRank. One achieved a PR 4 and 5 (when they started as PR 0). A few more were able to align their Technorati ranking to their Google PageRank. At least some of the stuff we do in mentoring worked! Of course, this good news means an increase in ad rates of their respective blog or website which makes all club members in the ad network quite happy.
Those who had a decrease in Google PageRank will be given up to the next update to recover, without any fee decrease.
Congratulations and let's continue growing together!
I have a strong vision on what I want do and achieve. As DigitalFilipino.com turns 8 years old this year and with a growing number of advocacies, that gives me no time to spare for free lunch, it makes me wonder if we can reach 25 years, still strong and competitive as ever.
I just like to share this inspiring video interview of U2, obviously my favorite.

Sorry, this item sold. You may also like:
Price is for the one remaining chair. American made by Chromcraft Corporation in St Louis Missouri, in the 40's or 50's. Black leather deep tufts in a shell shape. The base is metal with thick chrome accents, the casters glide easily. This chair swivels and adjusts in height etc...very comfortable, the leather is of great quality, has a certain amount of patena, soft and supple with very little wear, no rips or tears, a few minor scuffs. Nothing that would detract from the charm and value of this Mad Men chair. It would look so well in an office setting with tankard desk etc...or in a fine smoking room next to a mid century modern bar and serving cart. The style lends itself to the rich atmoshpere of burgundy and cigars. However there is no rank odor on this chair. Local pickup is strongly recommended. Shipping is possible, please convo me ahead of time to get a quote from Greyhound.

Noticia Curiosa: Imposter II? Four years in Varian
For the last four years, Elizabeth Okazaki has attended graduate physics seminars, used the offices reserved for doctoral and post-doctoral physics students and — for all intents and purposes made the Varian Physics Lab her home.
The only problem is that Okazaki appears to have no affiliation with Stanford and, according to physics professors and students, no real reason to be there.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.82 / 5.00 6,424 ViewsChange the gears and put them right direction.Swap the the tiles, with their moving gears, until you find the exact position.
Good concept, it's pretty entertaining; however after a while it can get kind of tedious. I wish it was a little bit more challenging. But all that aside good game!
First of all - I like it a lot. Would love to play a sequel.
Now to the problems.
1) As mentioned before me I could not see what score I had on which level when I finished them all. It should list the number of stars you got on each level and frankly I'd like to see how many swaps it took as well to try and beat it.
2) I know a way to systematically cheat through the game completing all the levels with 0 swaps. It happens if you press retry directly after you finish a level. The score thing swoops in and gives you three stars and adds 0 swaps or moves to your total. I thought it was a fluke, but it happened so many times when I was just trying toretry a level to finish it in fewer swaps... I'd say this breaks the game from a score point of view.
Fix those problems and you got a pretty nice thing going.
My biggest problem with this is that there's no way to see your previous best on a level, whether in the level select or the level itself, which is important to people who want to get three stars on all the levels. I feel like it would also make sense for there to be a way to jump to a level from viewing it in the gallery, and it kind of annoys me that the levels loop.

Z-Glass House, 400 sf of Green Modern
You've probably heard of the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company … their houses have been featured in Time, Domino, USA Today, and the New York Times, to name a few publications. The home pictured above is different from their other homes, which have that traditional, A-frame-esque shape. All Tumbleweed homes are sufficiently small, but this home is modern. It's 400 sf of green modern. The Z-Glass House is a stationary house, meant to be affixed to a foundation. You buy the plans and find a contractor to build it for you (with costs ranging in the $100 – $200 psf range). Or you can build it yourself. Check the layout, too. Such a great looking home, with a kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom, what else do you need? Add a little solar on the roof, or maybe even a Skystream, and call it done.
[Video] Recycling On the Job, Deconstruction
There's a new online video show hosted by Alex Pettitt called Mainstream Green. Their videos are high-quality and super informative. Sometimes, it helps to see how things work, so I love to show video as often as possible. The video above is on recycling and deconstruction. The deconstruction guy says the cost of on-site deconstruction is comparable to waste removal. That's a good. Generally, people are self-interested and when it becomes profitable to do the right thing, more and more people will start doing the right thing. Makes sense doesn't it?

Bush Sr. Installs Wind Turbine at Kennebunkport Home
Last week, former President George H. W. Bush installed a 33-foot tall, Skystream 3.7 wind turbine to provide energy for the Bush's Kennebunkport home. The Bushes were courted by Southwest Windpower, one of the forerunners in small-wind innovation, and after looking at the pros and cons, they decided to take the plunge. The turbine is connected to the grid and feeds excess power to the system.
Since the home is their summer home, it will probably have a substantial credit from all the energy they're feeding into the system during the winter. The Bushes decided to purchase the turbine for financial and environmental reasons, but they're also setting a good example, too. Via Portland Press Herald.
