This book instructs the common person in everyday life on how to make a living – and for some, to make a fortune --- from the Internet adult industry. Anonymously and ethically. When telecommunications and Internet dot coms started failing as dot bombs in the year 2000, ordinary people continued to make a fortune quietly working at home on the Internet. One of the biggest secrets about the Internet that continues to go unpublished even today is that thousands of people, if not more, have and continue to earn a lucrative living --- with some making substantial fortunes --- working in anonymity in the privacy of their own homes and conducting these businesses in an ethical manner. It is a big secret, but moreover, it is a "dirty" big secret. This book highlights some of those success stories among these everyday folk who have managed to secure their future. Porn has been the vanguard to mainstreamize technological innovation for public consumption in recent media and telecommunications history. Such technologies have included video, 800/900 numbers, cable, world wide web, video streaming, BBS telephone lines, teleconferencing, computer animation/video graphics/graphics rendering, online financial payment systems, ecommerce. For the most part however, most of the technologies have failed to include the everyday person who have little resources to capitalize. However, that changed when porn met the Internet and world wide web. Because of the nature of the Internet and world wide web, it has been entirely possible for ordinary people with modest means and modest investment dollars to launch a business with adult web sites since the mid-1990’s until even today. The amount of investment required to start can be as low as less than $100 and be in the several hundred dollar range, without extending into the thousand dollar range --- all modest figures within the realm of possibility for most people. Moreover, the technical knowledge is within the realm of attainability for ordinary, non-programming professionals. All that is required are casual skills with an HTML editor or generator, cheap graphics software or freeware and a web hosting account. Most people are adept enough with a word processor on their personal computers, and if those skills have not already been attained, most people can be familiar enough with these software to be proficient to create adult web sites fairly quickly. This book is a practical guide on steps necessary to start and operate a successful adult web site business from home. It contains over 270 pages of detailed instructions on a money-making system that the author has proven to work from personal experience and from his network of fellow webmasters.

September 11 is a date that is forever branded in the consciousness of Americans as a turning point in our history when we realized that we are susceptible to terrorist acts by our enemies. When the World Trade Center buildings blew up and fell into the abyss, our feelings of invincibility came crumbling down with them.    911 made us realize that we are not insulated from the rest of the world, and like the rest of the world, we are susceptible to violent acts of aggression. The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans no longer provide that separation from our enemies. Our enemies are mobile, motivated, alert, focused, well-funded --- and even live among us.    You and your family are direct targets of the terrorists. Are you prepared to fight back and survive?     The Terrorism Survival Guide gives you the tools you need to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for terrorist-induced disasters. It is a practical handbook that you can pack with your survival kit so that you and your family have a chance.

The diplomatic failures leading up to the invasion of Iraq and its insurgency aftermath have a long history. An incredible number of wars attest to the remarkable stubbornness of leaders presented with intelligence warnings that they are headed for trouble. There is a strong regularity of senior officials being taken by surprise simply out of sheer obstinacy in sticking to a false, preconceived notion. It has been estimated that decisions of elite governmental decision-makers to involve themselves in a war have involved major errors of fact, perhaps in more than 50% of all cases. This study analyzes the causes of such incompetent political decision-making. Specifically, it analyses impediments to the effective interpretation of intelligence information and assesses the propensity of certain leaders to selectively process intelligence in order to initiate premature and unwarranted military intervention. Psychological, social and organizational factors that contribute to decision-makers' premature aggression, acquiescence to erroneous normative demands, and obstinacy in maintaining false, preconceived notions were empirically analyzed. Psycho-political profiles developed included "The Cheney Syndrome." The first section of this book consists of a review of examples of governmental decision-making failures. The second section consists of an experimental analysis of these factors. 313 U.S. military officers completed a gaming exercise involving a terrorist crisis that also included a battery of psychological, social and political ideology measures. Officers' propensities to institute premature punitive measures based on minimal, ambiguous information as well as to acquiesce to erroneous authoritative demands were assessed. While documenting a solid background of examples of pathologies in decision-making and intelligence analysis, this study moved beyond the anecdotal nature of the case study approach. The presentation of the given terrorist scenario to each study participant allowed the same crisis situation to be repeated hundreds of times while varying the political, social, and psychological factors affecting decision-making and intelligence analysis. This allowed for a high degree of explanation and prediction of decision-making behaviors. The results of this study offer strong evidence of the value of utilizing a contextual approach to political and military psychology research.
