Regina The Evil Queen Once Upon A Time Gallery

With the Season 4 finale of the ABC television series Once Upon A Time airing this Sunday (May 10th), it seems like the perfect opportunity to showcase my Evil Queen costume. Regina is the Evil Queen from the classic story Snow White. She has banished all of the fairy tale characters to a town called Storybrooke which resides in our world. As if being banished wasnt bad enough, all of our heroes have also been mind wiped and dont remember who they are thus ripping away their happy endings. Regina holds the position of Mayor over the town thus "ruling" them. Seasons 1-3 can currently be viewed on Netflix while Season 4 is streaming on Hulu. Regina is ruthless, sexy and smart. She doesnt let anyone stand in her way and has no problem voicing what she thinks, no matter how brutal.  Below is a gallery of my Regina costume and her Storybook alias, Mayor Mills. You may also notice some other Once characters in the photos ;)

Should social media accomplishments be recognized by academia

In August, I posted this: "A paper of mine was published. Did anyone read it?"

A recent comment on it raised an interesting point. Dr. Christian Sinclair [@ctsinclair] said that a website he is helping to run called "Pallimed" has received almost 2 million views since 2005.

He then made the following calculation:

Two million views with an average of 1:30 minutes on a page = 3 million minutes = 50,000 hours = 2,083 days = 5.7 years of 24/7/365 informal learning on hospice and palliative care topics.

He said that this type of communication counts for nothing regarding academic advancement and added that writing another paper and having it published in a journal no one reads or a chapter in an expensive book no one will buy is considered worthwhile.

This reminded me of something I have talked about in recent presentations. The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy done in the United States took place in 1988. The procedure rapidly became popular due to its obvious benefits over traditional open surgery—smaller scars, shorter hospitalizations, quicker returns to normal activity.

Many academic surgeons considered the procedure radical and heretical. Opinion pieces appeared with titles like "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Passing fancy or legitimate treatment option?" and "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A new milestone or a dangerous innovation?"

Nearly all of the early adopters were community hospital surgeons who also became instructors, ran courses, and proctored others learning the procedure.

Academic surgeons were slow to take up the procedure because even back in those days they steadfastly demanded to see the results of a randomized prospective trial. The problem was that an adequately powered trial never occurred. Patients did so well after laparoscopy surgery that it became difficult to recruit anyone who would agree to be randomized.

Will most academic surgeons, who have not embraced social media, miss the boat again?

Last year, some Australians, blogging at the Intensive Care Network, found that the number needed to treat stated in a New England Journal paper on targeted vs. universal decolonization to prevent ICU infection was wrong. They blogged about it and contacted the lead author who acknowledged the error within 11 days. It took the journal 5 months to make the correction online.

Post-publication peer review is already happening on PubMed and PubPeer, a new site that allows anyone to comment on any paper.

Three years ago, I wrote "Statistical vs. Clinical Significance: They Are Not the Same," which reviewed a paper on sleep apnea. The use of compression stockings at night significantly lowered the number of apnea episodes but not enough to enable them to stop using CPAP.

That post has received over 13,400 page views, certainly far exceeding the number of people who have read my 97 peer-reviewed papers, case reports, review articles, book chapters, editorials, and letters to journal editors.

How many scientific papers published in journals have been viewed by that many people?

Since I started 4 years ago, the 565 posts on my blog have amassed 1.1 million page views, but if I still held a teaching appointment at a medical school, I would get no academic credit for that level of exposure.

Is it time to reconsider how academic promotions are determined?

How does shrinking links for money work

Url shrinking for money allows you to earn money from every visitor to your shortened links. How this works is actually quite simple.

1. Create an account with at least one url shortening service from this list.
2. You will then receive a confirmation e-mail, follow the instructions in the email.
3. Login to your account.
4. Enter a long link website in the special field and click Shrink. Your shorl URL will be displayed and will look something like this http://adf.ly/1OCz96 (if you use ad.fly)

Now that you have an AdF.ly URL that is associated with your account, the work begins.

You will now be paid for every person that clicks on your short link, so you need to give it maximum exposure. The easiest way is if you already own a website or blog, you can shrink URLs already on your website and replace them with short links. Then your website visitors click on them, you will earn money. The easiest way to give your site Paid Links. Is place a Full Page Script that automatically changes the links on the page to Paid Links. You just add the code to your site or blog and you will start making money!

It doesnt matter if you dont own a website, there are plenty of other ways to get people clicking on your short links (without spamming!). Here a few ideas:

1. Social networks. Got a great website to share with your friends? Shrink it with one of the services on this page first. Note that short links from some of the most popular paying url shortening services (Like Ad fly) may be blocked by some websites (i.e. Facebook), if this happens try other url shorteners that pay.
2. Forums. If you are helping people out on a forum and giving them the answers they require, shrink any website URLs and then include them in your post. Be absolutely sure you are not spamming though, otherwise you get your account suspended. Always abide by the forum rules.
3. Anywhere you normally post links! Use your imagination and get paid every month.

Indian teenager dies after being raped and set on fire

A 16-year-old Indian girl who was raped and then set on fire on the roof of her home on Monday has died, police said on Wednesday, the latest in a string of horrific sexual crimes committed against women in India.

The investigating officer told AFP that the  teenager had sustained more than 90 percent burns on her body and could not be saved. He said she died in hospital early Wednesday.

"Unfortunately she could not be saved despite the best efforts of the medical staff," said Ashwani Kumar. "We have arrested the accused, who is 19 years old and sent him to judicial custody. "An investigation is on to find out more about the motive and details of the crime,".

"The body has been sent for postmortem. We are waiting for the report."he said.

The accused has been charged with a slew of offences including rape and murder, Kumar said.

 

According to media reports, the girls dad said the 19 year old man lived nearby in their village in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh had been harassing his daughter for a year despite the fact that he had warned him several times to leave his daughter alone.

The 19 year old has been arrested and charged with sexual harassment, rape and murder.

There have been so many rape incidents in India with the men getting arrested sometimes while others have shamed the victims and let the men go unpunished.

Last month, a teenage rape victim was sexually assaulted for a second time while in hospital receiving treatment for the initial attack in eastern Jharkhand state.

How to make money with adfly and twitter

How to make money with adfly and twitter

The question that everyone who is trying to make money with adfly is how can i make money with adfly and with twitter , well my friend great question and here i am going to tell you how you can do it and so easy to do also, but remember this trick is 2013 trick , nothing less nothing copy paste everything that i am going to show you here is done by MYSELF , i do not go to webpages and copy other content and put it here , no that is not ME! 

Well lets get started shall we , first of all

What is adfly? Adf.ly is a URL Shortener with a twist; it pays you about $0.002 every time someone clicks it. You just have to make an account, shorten URLs, then post them somewhere for people to click. 

Some people always complain that they do not make that much money over adfly , well let me tell you that is a LIE you can make over $50 dollars monthly , (better then ptc sites isnt it) 

Lets explain you how you can make the money with twitter shall we, 

First thing you will need a twitter account , if you dont have one please create one HERE

After that , you will need an account on adfly , if you dont have one please create on HERE

Then we will be starting with the NICHE , but first of all

What is NICHE? is a topic that you have to choose, and i mean a topic that you will be talking about on your twitter , well it will not be you it will be automatic, but you have to choose a topic like an example you can choose  , "marketing" "gaming" or stuff like that , think about it hard choose a topic and write it down on your notepad.

Next time , what you will be doing is adding people , you already found a topic that you will be talking about in your twitter now is time to get people , ATTENTION daily you will be adding only 15 people daily, do not add more then 15 they will delet your twitter account. 

Now you done with everything , you have at least 15 people then lets get started , remember 15 people daily no more then that.! 

Now we will be going to a place where is going to do the trick for us , and read everything right. 

Create A Twitterfeed Account

Go to Twitterfeed.com and sign up for a free account, Ill discuss this later.

Working with RSS Feeds

Okay, so now what you want to do is go to Google, and search for any website that posts information and updates about the specific niche that you chose to base your twitter account on.

When you find the site you want, look for something on the page that will link you to that websites RSS feed, If you have trouble finding if they provide feeds or not, you can either go to "FIND" or "SEARCH" located in your browsers toolbar and type RSS in the search box, or enter the web site address in Google and add rss after it.

eg: gamestop.com rss

This will usually bring you to a page where you can select what rss feed you want, some sites offer multiple rss feeds so select the one you feel fits your needs.

Adding Your RSS Feed To TwitterFeed

Go back to twitterfeed.com, and create a new feed.

Add Feed To Twitterfeed

For this step all you have to do is copy the url of the feed you want to use, and paste it in to twitterfeed.

Add whatever you want for the name, and in the "Blog URL or RSS Feed URL" area, copy/paste (add) the url of the rss feed you want to use.

Example Above

Advanced Settings

On the same screen click the "Advanced Settings" button and go to "shorten link through", there is a drop down box beside it, open it up and scroll to the bottom and select "Custom", Leave it empty for now and go back to Adf.ly, while logged in to adf.ly go to the top of the page and click Tools, on the tools page go to "API Documentation" and click.

On this page you will see a link that looks like this http://api.adf.ly/api.php?key=################################&uid=######&advert_type=int&domain=adf.ly&url=http://somewebsite.com

# represents your id and key.

Now take your key and uid and place it in this link (replace the # with your key and uid)

http://api.adf.ly/api.php?key=################################&uid=######&domain=adf.ly&url=%@

http://somewebsite.com Must Be Replaced With %@ In order for this to work.

Also you may have noticed that in the modified link "advert_type=int" has been removed, this is because TwitterFeed has issues showing the interstitial ad (full page ad) and just leads to a dead page when clicked, or shows the ads but doesnt redirect to the desired page, so the only way to fix this is by removing the "advert_type=int" instruction from the link and adf.ly will automatically use the interstitial link instruction and will work properly with TwitterFeed.

Now when thats done, all you have to do is copy and paste your new link into the twitterfeed Custom endpoint box and "Continue to step 2" on twitterfeed.

"There are more advanced options that will serve you well, but you can play around with that on your own time."

LAST STEP!!!

Make sure that you are logged in to the twitter account that you want to use with twitterfeed, you are going to want to activate your twitter account with twitterfeeds oauth so it will automatically post feed/blog updates to your twitter account using the rss feed that you provided to twitterfeed, when thats all done, click done at the bottom, twitter will now get updated feed posts from twitterfeed, and the links in each post will now be automatically shrunk using adf.ly and posted to your twitter updates, and every time someone clicks your adf.ly link, you make a bit of cash.

Cosplay Spotlight Jenn Croft

 The legendary Lara Croft will be making her triumphant return March 5th, in the highly anticipated Tomb Raider reboot. The game will focus on Laras early years fighting for her life on a deadly and mysterious island.  In honor of Lara returning to the world of video games I contacted Jenn Croft, who is my favorite Lara Croft costumer for an interview with the Confessions of a Cosplay Girl Blog.  The California beauty, who currently resides in Australia, chats about her thoughts regarding Laras new beginning, her 25 Tomb Raider costumes and which actress she would select to bring Lara back to the big screen.











Victoria: How long have you been cosplaying Lara Croft?

Jenn: 13 years.

Victoria: How many Lara costumes do you currently own?


Jenn: I think its somewhere around the 25 mark. I stopped counting long ago.

Victoria: Do you have any Tomb Raider costumes planned for the future?

Jenn: Yes, I am about to start working on the sola wetsuit next week.

Victoria: What did you think of the movies starring Angelina Jolie? Would you like to see those films continue or do you think a reboot is in order?

Jenn: The movies were fun. I dont think they were as close to the games as they could have been but Angelina Jolies acting job was great. That being said, I really hope there is a reboot because although they were entertaining, the movies do need a reboot to match the new Lara from this years game.

Victoria: Speaking of reboot, the new Tomb Raider game will be released soon. How do you feel about them rebooting the franchise with a young, inexperienced Lara?

Jenn: I think its great! This is a side of Lara that nobody has seen before so it was always this void in Laras history that we never got to experience before. I am excited to see how the story of this game pans out and how it will compliment the heroine we all have come to love over the years.

Victoria: If you could cast a new actress to take over the role of Lara, who would you select?

Jenn: I would pick Lyndsy Fonseca because to me she looks just like the reboot Lara and has proven that she can act the part of an action girl from her role in the TV show Nikita.

Victoria: Aside from cosplay, what other hobbies do you enjoy?

Jenn: I have many hobbies. Probably too many, in fact. I enjoy extreme sports such as rock climbing, base jumping, skydiving. I love motorcycles and firearms. I have a huge passion for animals as well. And that is just to name a few.

Victoria: Do you have any new costumes currently in the works?

Jenn: Yes, the Sola wetsuit from Tomb Raider 2!

Victoria: Will you be attending any conventions in 2013?

Jenn: I may be attending some conventions in Australia this year such as Supanova or Oz Comic Con both in Melbourne, but its still uncertain at this point.

FG employs Ocholi’s son gives others Scholarship

The Federal government has offered automatic employment at the Federal Ministry of Justice to Aaron Ocholi, the only surviving son of James Ocholi, Minister of state for Labor and Employment, who died alongside his wife and son in a fatal accident along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway on Sunday March 6th. ? Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, disclosed this today when he visited the bereaved family.

Malami also disclosed that the late Ocholis other children will enjoy scholarship programmes from the Federal Government. Aaron is a law graduate who was called to bar in October 2015.

Malami said

“I am here to convey Mr President’s condolence message and he has asked me to personally inform you that you have been given automatic employment in the Federal Ministry of Justice. The employment letter is in process and you can resume work after now. Your father was a very hardworking and conscientious member of the Federal Executive Council who was very passionate and worked hard for the realisation of the change agenda of this government. Indeed, it is a sad moment for all of us and the vacuum which his death has created is not only for the family, but the leadership as well. He was a great pillar in the struggle which brought this administration to power. He played a major role in the merger process,”.

Interview Kingdom Come Director Andrew List

In 1996 DC Comics released the mini-series "Kingdom Come" written by Alex Ross and Mark Waid (with art by Mr. Ross). The series chronicled the events of a retired Superman going back into action after the world has fallen into chaos due to the new generation of superheroes. Supermans return inspires other retired heroes to get back into the game but not without challenges from the government and Lex Luthors Mankind Liberation Front. A war ensues when the rebellious new generation of heroes revolt and face off in a battle against our classic heroes (lead by Wonder Woman). Armageddon arrives when Captain Marvel, who is fighting for the MLF, and The Man of Steel face off.

The series quickly became a best seller and is a favorite amongst comic fans world wide. A Fan Film directed by Andrew List and starring Margie Cox and Danny Kelley will be released sometime this year. Read below to find out what the director has to say about bringing the classic story to life.

Victoria:  What made you decide to turn Kingdom Come into a fan film?

Andrew: I’ve loved comics forever. Superman stories are typically my favorite. I’m a big fan of the Death and Return of Superman story and Kingdom Come. They both have very biblical type feels to them and Kingdom Come was basically an untapped resource in terms of live action.

Victoria: What is it about the story that intrigues you?

Andrew: I really love the biblical feel it has in it, like Superman’s second coming in a similar meaning to Jesus’ second coming. I love the way the story is written and the way everything plays out in the story.

Victoria:  It was reported that fans donated a total of $10,000 to the film. Is this true?

Andrew: Incorrect. Our goal was to raise $8,000 for this project, we made it to $5,617! It ended up being just enough to cover some very important aspects in making this project come to life. I was beyond happy with how many fans dove in and donated to this project to make it come to life. I know it’s a cliche thing to say, but this really would NOT be happening if it was not for the fans help.

Victoria: How long did filming take and how many locations did you visit?

Andrew: Filming was packed into two very long days (6am to 10pm each day approx.) Without going into too many details we did visit 9 different locations to bring this to life.

Victoria: Will we be seeing memorable scenes from the graphic novel such as the battle at Gulag?

Andrew: No comment.

Victoria:  I understand that the film is in fact an extended trailer. How long will it run?

Andrew: Correct. We went the route of an extended trailer because to make the Kingdom Come novel into a full length film it would cost millions of dollars (as anyone who has read the novel can agree with). We wanted to get our favorite scenes and bring them to life. The estimated length of the trailer will be between 3-4 minutes.

Victoria: Can you give me a complete list of the cast and what part they will be playing?

Andrew: Sorry. I really can’t! But all that have been made public are listed on our Facebook page.

Victoria: When will Kingdom Come be released and where can people see it?

Andrew: No projected date at the moment (other than this year). It just really comes down to getting the visual effects to look as good as they can, which takes time! We want NOTHING rushed on this!

Victoria: What was your favorite scene from the book to bring to life?

Andrew: I know, another thing I can’t talk about! But I will say the Kent farm scenes were a whole lot of fun to film. Everyone worked together and made this come to life!

Cosplay Spotlight Zack Santiago

 Zack Santiagos costumes and craftmanship are best described as impressive. The New York native who currently resides in Florida, is well known in the world of cosplay. Zack took some time to talk to the Confessions of a Cosplay Girl Blog about his craft, commissions he has available and the world of comic books .

Victoria: How long have you been cosplaying?

Zack: I think its been around 6 years really doing cosplay for cons and focusing on projects. Though Ive been making costumes since I was 6 designing characters and making costumes. Playing pretend throwing whatever I can on to look like the character Im pretending be. My parents always thought I was odd sometimes but Im also from an odd family. lol. They were always encouraging of me and my hobbies. My mother was the one who taught me to sew with a thread and needle.

Victoria: What are your costume plans for 2013?

Zack: My plans for 2013? Im currently working on a IronMan mk7 suit. My goal more so then anything is I wont be making costumes that I cant also use for doing charity events and visits to childrens hospitals. I enjoy costuming and cosplay but Im always asked by friends to make costumes for groups and skits and whatnot but its costly unless they make the suit lol then Im game. So major goal is to focus what costumes I can do to change up what people will see me in usually and also be effective for charity events.

Victoria: What is your favorite convention memory?

Zack: My favorite con memory? Honestly I cant really say. Usually each time is definitely a crazy experience lol. Though recently I did have a really amazing chance to meet Dean Cain at Dragoncon. During the big DC universe shoot I was wearing my Dean Cain Superman suit that my friend Danny had given me. I was told by my friend Bryan he was working on trying to get him down for the shoot. Naturally Im excited though I figured I probably would be lost in the crowd of people to Dean. Lo and behold they ask me to step down from where I was to stand next Dean for the group pics. I just was in shock meeting the Man of Steel! I did everything in my power not to cry in front of him (I totally cried after though) he liked my suit and complimented me. We grabbed pics together and honestly it still makes me tear up knowing I got to meet a big part of my childhood.

Victoria: Would you say that cosplay has had a positive impact on your life?

Zack: Cosplay like anything else has its positives and definitely its negatives. Its always nice to let those positives outshine the negative. Whats been something positive is Im known for doing alot of different Super Hero costumes. Most people are just people in Costume sometimes theyre the same person despite the cape or mask. I know many others who feel otherwise and its inspired me to do the same. I dont suit up and act like someone else as much as people feel. Ive been inspired by others around me to maintain that wanting and willing attitude to still be a positive role model. Im imperfect as all humans are so I do have my moments that are less then positive though I strive towards self-improvement everyday and offering to help others whenever I can. A big thing I enjoy most is the feeling of putting on the suit and visiting children in hospitals and seeing them smile and being in high spirits despite their health. It really makes everything worth it.

Victoria: You are currently accepting commissions. What types of costumes and accessories are you offering and how can people place an order?

Zack: I currently make custom pillows for nerds I have a wide selection of possible styles and variations I can make. Hats are something Im.toying around with too. I also do props and costumes, though, Ive been pushing more of the pillows since they been a popular item. I make RedHood animated style hoods (theyre fabric not resin). Im currently working on other projects like custom hoodies an utility belts for future options for people who want to commission. Im always open to messages via cloudwarrior75.deviantart.com Im working on an Etsy and fb page. I do have a fb though Im trying to separate commission stuff and personal.

Victoria: What comics are you currently reading?

Zack: Ironically with all the crazy stuff going on and in around comics I havent read one in some time now. I do know my comics and I keep update though its gotten costly so I stick with reading my old stuff. lol.  Less hassle to deal with for my wallet and I stay up to date with whats going on in the stuff I like.

Victoria: What are your thoughts on the new Man of Steel trailer?

Zack: The Man of Steel is the topic alot have been discussing. I am a Supes fan for sure the new trailer recently I think really reminded me what Im excited for. People been upset still with the content of the trailer be it music or something. I honestly enjoyed seeing the action and something that didnt seem like a trailer for Aquaman the movie. lol.

Victoria: Speaking of comic films, what is your favorite comic book movie?

Zack: Good question. Im a simple guy actually I find something I can appreciate in most comic book movies I watch. I really cant say which I like more really itd be a long list lol though for the sake of picking one of them Id say I always enjoy watching BATMAN Returns.

Victoria: Whats the worse comic book film youve seen?

Zack: Now I know Ive said I look for the good in every film I watch .......but omg I can still list horrible comic book movies Ive seen. lol. Though at the top of the list would probably be "Catwoman". Ill just leave it at that. lol

Darknet Profits by Marc Charles

How to Profit from the Dark Internet “Underbelly” Over the Next 12 Months Using a Little-Known Skill

7:10 AM

Dear Entrepreneur:

Theres a battle raging beneath the Internet. 

I’ll show you how to produce a nice income for yourself…in a great side business. 

Or you can choose to leverage this market in a bigger way.

Here’s the deal…..

Like I said….there’s a war taking place in the Internet’s “underbelly”. It’s like the movie The Matrix, but this is real not a fantasy.

And actually, it’s not limited to the Internet. This warfare is taking place on corporate intranets, extranets, wireless networks and everywhere in between.
About the only place you won’t find a battle is on “dead drops”. Which are “off Internet” style P2P file sharing zones such as DeadDrops.com.

The problems are being caused by pesky little things called "bug variants."
A "bug variant" is a conscious software programming error which can have many different negative side effects. 

For example, bug variants in Web browsers cause security breaches, deceptive downloads, automatic redirects and malicious viruses.

"Variants" are new strains of viruses which borrow code from other known viruses. 

A letter or letters following the virus family name usually identifies the variants.
For example, AgentBKY, SmallDAM, VBS.LoveLetter.B., VBS.LoveLetter.C., and WareZOV are all “bug variants”.

Bug variants are easy to understand for people who know the basics of programming, viruses, and software architecture. 

But get this.

There are incredible money making opportunities surrounding “bug variants” and the programming warfare taking place as we speak.

Heck….network security is the fastest growing sector in information technology!

One opportunity is professional hacking. 

Granted, you might not be tech savvy or even have an interest in this area. But you might know someone who is. Give them this information today!

What’s more, you can also invest in entrepreneurs and companies who are successful in network security, encryption, virus detection, IT forensics and professional hacking.

Believe me…this is a HOT rising trend.

Who would have guessed you could make money by eradicating bug variants on the Internet? 

But its true! 

Programming, professional hacking and network security is a legitimate business opportunity and the demand is growing like wildfire.

Robert Graham, founder and CEO of Errata Security, said, "We’re seeing kids playing and pretending to be masterminds, but recently, we saw the rise of the professional hacker. Many hackers are graduating into the professional ranks too. This development carries serious implications for corporate security."
And this is the opportunity for professional hackers.

How to Make Money as a Professional Hacker

One of the best ways to get started as a professional hacker is to start hacking. 

I’m serious.

There are thousands of books and online tutorials available to help bring you up to speed. 

But my 18-year-old son assures me the best “hacking” information and tutorials are posted online, in hacking forums, gaming chat rooms, and on encrypted websites. 

Hackers get a "kick" out of divulging their escapades!

As Graham points out, ordinary programmers in a “job” write code to pay the bills.

But professional freelance hackers think of this as something to do for fun.
Most hackers are delighted to find someone willing to pay them to do it. But for many hackers, money is secondary or even relevant. 

Dont get me wrong. 

Im not suggesting your break into professional hacker to screw things up, steal, or cause malicious problems for people and businesses.

Im confident if more people learn how to hack and become "tech savvy" with regards to bug variants, viruses, and other network security issues, there will be fewer opportunities for wayward geeks to get their thrills.

The big money is in providing this service for large corporations, governments, military, education, health care, and e-commerce. 

My preference would be to approach this market as a freelancer rather than an in-house hacker or in a “job”. 

Granted, you may have to work with a company on a part-time or intern basis to get your feet wet.

There’s a new job title in networking and security circles, it’s called a "Chief Hacking Officer." 

I’m not kidding.

There were hundreds of freelance programmer and hacker opportunities posted online on sites like CodeWalkers, HackingAlert.com, and DICE.
If you review these postings you’ll become familiar with what companies are looking for when it comes to professional hackers. 

Many times professional hackers will also be referred to as “code specialists” and security programmers. But either way you’ll begin to see a tremendous need for professional hackers.

On top of that, the windows of opportunity have opened in three new sectors too: Google hacking, mobile phone (and iPhone) hacking, and Linux hacking. You can also join in the fun with online games.

This market is growing in leaps and bounds.  Google “hacking” and you’ll see what I mean.

On top of that, the money making potential in this sector is serious business.

Your humble host,

Marc Charles

******* Action Strategy *******

If youre new to hacking, and you have an interest in it, it’s fairly simple to bring yourself up to speed. 

One of the best ways to learn hacking is on hacking websites, forums, discussion lists, and IT Security websites which are devoted to the area.
There are a certification courses in "ethical hacking" too.

The Security Certified Network Architect (SCNA) offers one of the most respected courses. 

If youre already proficient at programming and hacking and you want to start making money, the fastest way to get started is by posting your availability on the most popular security boards.  I’ve included a ton of links to them in the Valuable Resources section.

Simply post your qualifications and expertise or interest on the top hacking sites and forums. 

I realize there’s a huge demand for a “high-level” security experts and hackers is with larger companies, corporations, governments, military, etc.

But there are plenty of opportunities in the small and medium sized business market too.

Direct marketing should be a part of any fast start strategy.

Most freelance programmers and hackers think marketing is a “sin” (and I know because I’ve hired, trained and worked with dozens of them).

But a simple, persuasive sales letter sent via FedEx to "A Prospects" (companies who hire professional hackers and security experts on a regular basis) could be very effective at securing projects.

Another approach is entering hacking tournaments.

If you place in the top percentile of these high-profile competitions, youll have more work and offers than you could ever handle. 

DEFCON hosts one of the largest hacking events in the world. 

You can also post a website or blog and “lace” it with security, virus and hacking terms with SEO and SEM in mind.

I helped a freelance programmer recently post his bio and expertise with a simple website and domain for under $100. He told me he receives quality traffic, inquires and leads every week. He hosts his bio/website free of charge on DotEasy.com. 

Now we’re talking!

Look….it’s simple. 

The security, hacking and virus sector of programming is a HOT rising trend. If you can hack and you know how to market and close contracts you’ll have more work and projects then you can handle.
Have fun!

Please send me your feedback and thoughts!
