Blogging:

Blogging is without a doubt one of the most popular ways of earning money online. If you are passionate about something, why not turn that passion into something tangible? If you do a little research, you might actually be able to create a profitable business. Google AdSense is the best way to post sponsored links and win a reasonable commission. It might take some time for your blog to become profitable, but it is one of the most reliable make money strategies. With some basic SEO knowledge, Social Media activity and high quality content, you will definitely increase your traffic and attract readers.

Freelancing:

Many people believe that freelancing is the same as blogging, but it isn’t. If you decide to work as an online entrepreneur, there are many opportunities you can find. Are you a talented artist? Why not find an employer online. Do you have knowledge in a certain field? Share your expertise and earn some additional income. As opposed to bloggers, which have to make readers believe that they have real knowledge in a certain field, freelancers are true specialists who can also provide great insight on certain topics. I’m not saying that bloggers aren’t knowledgeable, but there are times when they have to write on subjects that are not familiar to them.

SEO Reviewing: If you have no idea what SEO means, it is time to start learning. Search engine optimization is a rapidly growing internet-based marketing field that guarantees great long-term ROI. If you sharpen your skills you can actually work as a contract SEO reviewer for a company. Basically, you will be evaluating how well a user is doing, and then give advice to help him improve his site’s rank on SERPs. You should know that this is not an easy thing to do, because you will need good knowledge on the matter.

Creating an Online Hand-Made Shop: Thanks to the internet, you can now sell a lot of things, even things you no longer need. However, if you have an inclination for arts, you can create unique stuff and advertise them online. People love things that are one of a kind, and there are a lot of awesome sites on which you can promote your little online boutique. This method is perfect for passionate people who can work with different materials.

Virtual Assistant:

A lot of serious businessmen need a full-time personal assistant. Sadly, most companies work with tight budgets, and this makes hiring someone nearly impossible. Thanks to the internet it is now possible to hire a part-time “virtual” assistant to take care of your little things. It is a win-win situation, because the employee can work from home, and the employer will save some much needed money.

These are only five possible ideas with which you can bring you some extra cash. However there are a lot of other great ideas to consider. The world wide web is full of great opportunities awaiting discovery.

Read on for tips on how to protect yourself from online stalkers while still enjoying the benefits of social media.

Change Your Passwords Regularly

This seems like a no-brainer, right? If you don’t want people to see what you’re doing online, make sure they can’t access your tightly locked accounts. But some of us have more passwords than others: for example, students. Let’s say you’re studying for an online ECI degree. Now you have all the normal passwords for social media, emails and bank accounts. But you also have new passwords for your school log-in, your financial aid, a student email account, a special discussion group for economic crime investigation students … the list goes on. The tip for passwords most experts agree on? Try to change them regularly. What they don’t agree on? How to remember them. You may want to get a program that remembers your passwords for you. Or you may come up with a mnemonic system that helps you cycle through new keys. Find a system that works for you.

Vet People Before “Friending”

You don’t have to treat your social media like a job interview, but it’s probably a good idea to vet people before you friend them on Facebook. If you haven’t met someone in real life, and you don’t have any mutual friends, consider ignoring their request. If you think that you’d like to know them anyway because of a professed shared interest, try getting them to connect with you on a different platform where they won’t have so much insight to your personal information. Maybe you could create an interest group or page, or perhaps you can designate one of your social media accounts for a specific interest. If you see they are genuine and not a potential stalker, you can always friend them later.

Consider Using Different Email Addresses, Handles and Profile Photos

Unless you are hoping to build your personal “brand” online for professional purposes, you might diversify your avatars and email addresses over different social media accounts. That way, a stalker who you block as “LuVPanda68” won’t know that you’re actually “Sally Marshall” somewhere else. Different profile photos also help this. However, it will also make it more difficult for genuine friends to find you.

Pay Attention to Your “Gut Feeling”

If you feel that something is strange about one of your followers or friends online, pay attention to it. Adjust your privacy settings and start to be more assertive about cutting people off from your social media feeds. If someone you don’t know in real life is making you uncomfortable, why would you continue the online relationship? If it is someone you know in real life who is causing you trouble, you should also examine their behavior carefully and block them if you feel they are harassing you.

Collect Evidence if You Suspect Stalking

If you think that someone is stalking you, collect evidence. Take screenshots and note down the times and dates of any strange interactions. You may need this information later if you’re asked to prove their harassment of you. However, don’t let a lack of screenshots stop you from reporting bad behavior to a social media platform or the forum moderator. At the same time, don’t ever falsely report someone; crying wolf will make it harder for people who have real trouble to get help.

Be Cautious When Meeting in Real Life

If you’re set to meet someone from your online acquaintances in “real life” for the first time, be cautious. The old saying “on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog,” is really true. The other person may not be at all what you expected them to be like from their posts and other communications. If possible, bring a friend, and definitely tell one or two other people where you’re going and what time you should be back. While this is advice usually given to young women, it’s valid for anyone meeting an Internet buddy.

Accessing the 2nd and 3rd circle of friends and colleagues and beyond should be the goal of your online networking and invites. Remember to be clear about who is invited, if the event is open to everyone and if there is any cost involved. Do not forget to reciprocate and share others’ events and attend events put on by others as well.

Here are 7 places to list your event in online:

1. LinkedIn Event: Set up a LinkedIn event for free and publish your event to networks and related groups on LinkedIn to gain the most exposure. Be sure to list that your event is an open event, and then when the people you invite respond that they are attending, it will be shared in their network as well as yours. If you do not already have a LinkedIn Group for your network or the area where you hold your events, be sure to set one up and send out regular emails and invites to the whole group.

A great example of a LinkedIn event is when a local group has networking meetings often. There is a group in West Palm Beach, FL has monthly breakfast meet ups, which is a great way for professionals to squeeze in some casual networking with like-minded business professionals over coffee in the morning. There are also other periodic meetings, like weekly lunch dates to stay connected with local professionals. When an event is created, it is emailed through LinkedIn to all members of the group.

2. Facebook Event: Setting up a Facebook event is also free and will give you access to several network circles in the same way when your invitations are responded to, each attendee’s network of Facebook friends will also see the event. Encourage your friends to share the event with their friends, whether they are attending or not.

Here is a great example of a business creating a Facebook event for a big sale they are having.

3. Plancast: Plancast is a social sharing site where you can list your plans. When you sign up for Plancast and you link your social sites, it networks for you. Periodic emails are sent out with plans those in your network have shared. When you enter your own event in Plancast, it will be broadcast in the emails to your network.

Plancasts come to your email when those in your network make a “new plan” on their website. It automatically emails notifications like this:

4. MeetUp: Very similar to Plancast, MeetUp is a website where you can find other meetings and events, or set your own up. It also has a strong social component, when you connect your social networks to your MeetUp account, it sends out personalized emails to individuals when it recognizes that a few people in your network have signed up for the same meet up. This is an amazing way to leverage your network and your friends’ networks to get increased exposure for your events.

Meetups are happening world-wide and you can sign up to get notified of local events. Here is an example of the layout you see when you are invited to a MeetUp event:

5. Google Plus: Did you know that when you invite Google Plus members to an event you create in the social network that it will automatically add the event to their Google Calendar? This is an important piece of knowledge to know about setting up and sending invites on Google Plus. Now that Google Plus has a community feature, it is a great idea to set up a community for your local area that you hold events in and regularly let them know about your events through Google Plus event invites.

Many popular television shows are having success building communities on Google Plus and creating events and watch party events for shows. The Arrow is an example of a how that is having success creating events to remind viewers when the show airs and also creates a community feel:

6. Evite: Evite is a free online invitation service that allows you to send creative invites to your contacts and the response can be set up to be social so that others can see who is attending, make comments and even be allowed to invite their own guests, accessing that ever important outside tier of your social network.

7. Email: At this point with communications and all the social media invites, we often forget about email. It is still an amazing tool to reach your friends, colleagues and network to notify them about the events you put on. In addition to an email announcement, be sure to add your event information in the closing section of your email so that it can repeatedly reach your contacts and keep your even fresh in their minds.

Most recently, Reddit came under fire for its thread that went viral in regards to the Boston bombing manhunt and how they accused the wrong men of being suspects in the crime. Within minutes, their thread had made its way onto Twitter and other networks and was trending across the world. While they’ve issued a public apology, the stain of being accused of a heinous crime doesn’t wash away so easily and we can only imagine the backlash that may come as a result. This could even possibly include Reddit being sued.

Reddit users are not typically journalists with fact-based information that they can knowledgeably report on. While Reddit doesn’t fall under the “regular” social media category, people have to bear in mind that they are a community of regular people, who on many occasions are reporting information based on an opinion, an assumption or hearsay. Thus, Reddit and similar social forums cannot be looked at as authorities on matters of law enforcement or homeland security. Any information gained from these sources for active criminal investigations needs to be examined thoroughly for facts and thus should be taken with a grain of salt. 

In the future, it may be recommended to these Reddit internet sloths that they seek out an online criminal justice degree from an accredited school to gain a leg up in understanding how to manage circumstances like these with poise, ease and confidence. As misinformation leaks and becomes viral, confusion and mayhem can become wedged in the middle of an active investigation. If not managed properly, this can lead to negative effects on the investigation, including arresting the wrong suspect(s). If they are going to be at the forefront and thrust themselves into manhunt situations, such as the Boston bombing situation, they need to at least have some sort of authority monitoring these threads.

And to be clear, there can eventually be some value from online communities like this. Activist groups such as “Anonymous” can have a tremendous amount of worth based on the skills that some of these people have obtained. It’s just important that all parties involved remain responsible and highly critical of the information that they are both giving and receiving. We as a country are seeing a major shift in where we go to get our news; we need to be conscious of the fact that we may not immediately be getting exactly what it is we’re looking for.

Itransition is one of the software companies who have divided the entire process of software development into several stages. It is called software development lifecycle. The lack of this development cycle results in slow production, extra cost and unpunctuality in delivery. Failure to meet the deadline will not only hamper the market value of the company but the company will have to increase its budget in the production.

Therefore, outcome of a great software thought requires a disciplined software development process. This process is called a software development lifecycle. It holds all the stages, connected with putting an idea into practice and finally implementing it into an organized platform to get a desired result. Let’s discuss key stages of software development cycle.

• The task starts with writing requirements. During the first stage developers at Itransition compiles all the information given by the clients. It includes all the functionality written into a logical and expressive set of requirements. It will describe the task of software that it has to be performed. It is also called requirements gathering process. It involves communication with operational managers and customers. Sometime the company also communicate with the end users to give them the best result. When the requirement gathering team is up with all the information the task is passed to software architect.

• The software architect looks after Software design. This cycle includes development of software. The process of interpreting requirements set on the earlier stage of software architecture. It defines how the application will carry the tasks and whereabouts of the software technologies and tools used in the process for the successful outcome. The requirements are represented in an intelligible way for software developers so that he can implement the solution in the right way.

• The third stage includes software testing. In this stage the efforts are made to taste the software. This stage is the quality guard of the company. Testing is closely interrelated with other stages of a software development as the project is checked thoroughly against the requirements, verification and implementation. It is checked for complying with expected functionality so that a quality software product is achieved.

• The last stage includes software deployment and release. In this stage after the complete testing of the software it is ultimately approved for release.

The aforementioned stages of a software development lifecycle are characterized in a schematic way. They are overlapped and interrelated as per the project requirements and set goals. Following the life cycle gives better result hence software companies like Itransition choose a model in order to provide great software project and too in an affordable way.

The term is new, but concept is not. Throughout the history of computing, IT organizations have been using their own infrastructure to host applications, data, servers etc. Now most of them are renting the infrastructure, with remote servers to host their application or data. Organizations called service providers exist especially to provide, manage and maintain the infrastructure on which their client organization’s application or data are hosted. The client organization gets access controls to manage their applications and data hosted on the remote server. This is the main idea behind cloud computing.

More precisely, cloud computing is a method of accessing, delivering and managing IT services over the internet. Network resources are provided to customers on demand. As a customer, you need not own infrastructure, you just have to just rent or pay for what you use to your cloud service provider.

Benefits of Cloud computing:

Picture 1

The organization may get benefit in terms of reduced cost, online support to flexibility. However, the major benefits can be summarized as:

Location Independent: As a customer, you need not worry about where your data is hosted. You can access and manage them from virtually anywhere in the world. All you need to be is to be connected to the Internet.

Low Total Cost of Ownership: Since you use the service provider’s infrastructure and resources, you are exempted from the cost of setting up your own.

Pay-as-per-you-use: The most appealing thing is the option for pay for what or when you use. That suits well under your organization’s budget.

Support: As service providers host your data on their infrastructure, the onus for maintaining and supporting the client’s request is on them.

Secure and storage management: The service providers securely manage your data, and do have a backup and disaster recovery plan. Therefore, your data is always safe.

Scalability and Sustainability: Service providers have large infrastructure,high-end processors and memory devices that you may rent as per your requirements.
Resources are dynamically allocated between users. Additional resources are dynamically released when needed.

Highly Automated: Your IT personnel do not need to worry about keeping software up to date.

Maintenance: Maintenance of cloud computing applications is easier, since they don’t have to be installed on each user’s computer.

Types of Cloud Computing:

Infrastructure-as- a-Service (IaaS): Infrastructure-as-a-Service gives the customer a virtual server / storage with unique IP address. Amazon web services are an example. The user’s application interface accesses the virtual servers and storage hosted by Amazon to read books online.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Platform-as-a-service is services like Software development tools hosted in provider’s server and customers can access them with APIs. The users execute the application in the platforms hosted by the cloud provider through the platform or Application Program Interface (API). Google Apps is an example of platform services.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): Software-as-a-service model, software along with data resides in providers cloud and end customers can use both on a contract basis from the provider.

Challenges faced by the Organization:

The basic issues that an organization may face can be categorized as the following:

Privacy: You are never sure if the service provider can monitor your data, be it sensitive or not.

Security: Security concerns arise because both customer data and programs reside in the Provider premises.

Availability: The cloud service provider needs to make sure the system is available for its consumers. There are service level agreements (SLA) between the cloud service provider and the consumer that is related to the availability and performance.

The following picture (Picture 2) describes how you lose your control over data and other resources as it moves from your dedicated environment to premises of your services provider.

Picture 2

As you can see, the blocks in green shows the resources under your control, the blue blocks show when you are sharing the resources with your service provider, and finally the orange blocks depict the features under the control of your service provider. If you are hosting data, servers in your environment you have maximum control over them. However, as soon as you are renting out the resources from service providers and finally move your resources to actual cloud, you can’t personally control or manage them. However, the cloud provider gives you access controls through which you can manage and control your data and other resources.

So still some organizations, especially smaller ones, are skeptical about it despite the fact that the cloud is much more cost effective for them. Rightly so, because they may have concerns about the following:

Accessibility issues: Organizations may face problems with accessing resources from the cloud if some communication outage happens due to attacks such as denial of service and distributed denial of services.

Authentication issues: There is a chance that due to some TCP/IP related attacks like IP spoofing, RIP attacks, ARP poisoning and DNS poisoning in which routing tables can be altered, organizations may not be sure of its trusted machines’ authenticity.

Data Verification, tampering, loss and theft: While on a local machine, while in transit, while at rest at the unknown third-party device, or devices, and during remote back-ups.

Information transmitted from the client through the Internet poses a certain degree of risk, because of issues of data ownership; enterprises should spend time getting to know their providers and their regulations as much as possible before assigning some trivial applications first to test the water

Data segregation: Data in the cloud is typically in a shared environment alongside data from other customers. The cloud provider should give evidence that encryption schemes were designed and tested by experienced specialists.

Recovery: A proper recovery and backup plan should be in place. Any offering that does not replicate the data and application infrastructure across multiple sites is vulnerable to a total failure. In addition, the timeframe within which restoration will be complete is a concern.

Physical access issues: Both the issue of an organization’s staff not having physical access to the machines storing and processing a data, and the issue of unknown third parties having physical access to the machines.

If we summarize, these are some top potential threats of cloud computing that must be thought about instead of moving to the cloud blindly. For a more in-depth look at the following security risks, check out the information security training courses offered by the InfoSec Institute. The Cloud Security Alliance identifies following potential risks:

1. Abuse and Nefarious Use of Cloud Computing: Cloud providers offer their customers the illusion of unlimited computing, network, and storage capacity. There are registration processes where anyone with a valid credit card can register and immediately begin using cloud services. By abusing the relative anonymity behind these registration and usage models, spammers, malicious code authors, and other criminals have been able to conduct their activities with relative impunity.

Cloud computing providers are actively being targeted, partially because their relatively weak registration systems facilitate anonymity, and providers’ fraud detection capabilities are limited. Criminals continue to leverage new technologies to improve their reach, avoid detection, and improve the effectiveness of their activities.

Examples: IaaS offerings have hosted the Zeus botnet, Infostealer Trojan horses, and downloads for Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF exploits.

1. Insecure Interfaces and APIs: Cloud computing providers expose a set of software interfaces or APIs that customers use to manage and interact with cloud services. The security and availability of general cloud services is dependent upon the security of these basic APIs. From authentication and access control to encryption and activity monitoring, these interfaces must be designed to protect against both accidental and malicious attempts to circumvent policy.

Reliance on a weak set of interfaces and APIs exposes organizations to a variety of security issues related to confidentiality, integrity, availability and accountability.

Examples: Anonymous access and/or reusable tokens or passwords, clear-text authentication or transmission of content, inflexible access controls or improper authorizations, limited monitoring and logging capabilities, unknown service or API dependencies.

1. Malicious Insiders: This threat is amplified for consumers of cloud services by the convergence of IT services and customers under a single management domain, combined with a general lack of transparency into provider process and procedure. For example, a provider may not reveal how it grants employees access to physical and virtual assets, how it monitors these employees, or how it analyzes and reports on policy compliance.

The impact that malicious insiders can have on an organization is considerable, given their level of access and ability to infiltrate organizations and assets. Brand damage, financial impact, and productivity losses are just some of the ways a malicious insider can effect an operation.

1. Shared Technology Issues: Often, the underlying components that make up this infrastructure (e.g., CPU caches, GPUs, etc.) were not designed to offer strong isolation properties for a multi-tenant architecture. To address this gap, a virtualization hypervisor mediates access between guest operating systems and the physical compute resources. Still, even hypervisors have exhibited flaws that have enabled guest operating systems to gain inappropriate levels of control or influence on the underlying platform. Attackers may focus on how to affect the operations of other cloud customers, and how to gain unauthorized access to data.

1. Data Loss or Leakage: There are many ways to compromise data. Deletion or alteration of records without a backup of the original content is an obvious example. Unlinking a record from a larger context may render it unrecoverable, as can storage on unreliable media. Loss of an encoding key may result in effective destruction. There is damage to one’s brand and reputation

–         a loss could significantly impact employee, partner, and customer morale and trust.

1. Account or Service Hijacking: If an attacker gains access to your credentials, they can eavesdrop on your activities and transactions, manipulate data, return falsified information, and redirect your clients to illegitimate sites. Your account or service instances may become a new base for the attacker. With stolen credentials, attackers can often access critical areas of deployed cloud computing services, allowing them to compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of those services.

1. Unknown Risk Profile: Versions of software, code updates, security practices, vulnerability profiles, intrusion attempts, and security design, are all important factors for estimating your company’s security posture. Information about who is sharing your infrastructure may be pertinent, in addition to network intrusion logs, redirection attempts and/or successes, and other logs. When adopting a cloud service, the features and functionality may be well advertised, but what about details or compliance of the internal security procedures, configuration hardening, patching, auditing, and logging? How is your data and related logs stored, and who has access to them? What information if any will the vendor disclose in the event of a security incident?

JavaScript has

been described as a prototype based scripting language. This language has various features like it is dynamic and weakly typed. This language also has first class functions. Another feature is that JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language. It supports object oriented, imperative and functional programming styles.

The responsive web design theory indicates to using many images, grids as well as layouts, and CSS media queries for giving the users a perfect experience in regard to readability and navigability irrespective of device wherein the website is browsed. The devices rolling out to varying screen resolutions, definitions and orientations make this concept hugely popular in the recent time. The mobile browsing is expected to get ahead of desktop based browsing in the coming time. Due to this lots of customers are reconsidering about how their websites and applications get browsed.

The flexible images, fluid grids as well as media queries act as the 3 technical constituents to attain responsive web design. Instead of adjusting content within device specific environment the CSS media queries are used to efficiently adjust the resolution in a separate viewing context. In such a designing these elements are redistributed to make the website automatically switch to match the required resolution, scripting abilities and image size. These elements along with planned structure meant for various screen resolution ensures an even more responsive design.

Flexible Grid

It is a major element involving a responsive web design. It maintains the entire design in regard to proportions. This ensures all the elements within a layout get re-sized with respect to resolution. The flexible grid depends upon the proportion of calculating element within percentage units for attaining correct re-size.

The creation of fluid grids is a common method. When you develop fluid grid system for making your website appear fine and work within all types of screen resolutions it is crucial to see that all the fundamental details are visible to user without any need to scroll. Moreover, the text should be easily readable as well as the website should not get any adverse impact due to component reorganization when screen resolution differs.

Flexible Images

There is another prime aspect involved in responsive web design and it is called flexible images. The images simply get re-sized using height and width elements for keeping an organized layout. The CSS overflow property is used to crop the images for matching various screen resolutions.

Media Queries

The designers by using media queries can design many layouts via HTML documents to provide style sheets depending on the selective features like orientation, browser size color or resolution. The media queries are known to effectively collect the data in regard to visitor. It is employed for the application of CSS styles to give a perfect experience for the visitor.

CSS are applied to establish the device-width, max-width, color parameters and orientation. This allows the application of particular CSS styles depending on screen size, orientation and resolution. Such a method does well in all the devices providing media query support.

This is a multiplayer online game where one of the players draws the image and others have to guess the word. You can connect with Facebook friends for this game and invite them to play. Along with this, chatting with other partners is also possible to have a fun-filled experience. 

Touchy Word

This has one of the new patterns, where letter tiles keep appearing with regular interval of time and user has to form the words with it. The maximum number of tiles can be 9 and so with every new tile thereon, the old tile is replaced. The maximum number of tiles offered is 64 and timer keeps running.  The longer the word, the higher the score.

Overall conclusion can be drawn that word games are quite addictive and with touch screen it is quicker and pleasant to play rather than being on a laptop.
