Vital Tips: Can You Make A Living As A Freelance Writer?
Freelance writing is an attractive alternative or addition to working a 9-5. It offers a lot of flexibility if your schedule does not lend itself to a normal eight-hour day and a lot of freedom in where and how you work. However, for some, it simply does not work out.
As flexible as freelance writing can seem, there are other, different pressures from working 9-5 in an office. Often, you will be working very closely with your client, which means that they may change their mind about certain things and expect you to react within a certain time frame. If you are not prepared for this, it can be very stressful. However, as long as you are ready to make changes, adjust deadlines etc., then you will find very quickly being a freelance writer is a much more attractive alternative to being stuck in an office for the majority of the day.
You have to be disciplined!
If, in order to make enough to survive, you need to write a certain number of articles a day, then you must make sure that you hit that target. There will be no boss breathing down your neck every day, which means that you will have the freedom to eat when you want, go shopping when you want and pick up the kids when you want. Still, it also means that you are the only one who is going to be motivating you to work! Some people find this very easy, but others do not. Just remember: if you have a minimum number, hit it, every day. If you miss one day - because we all have to take days off - make it up over the rest of the week. This is a proper job, and you have to treat it as such!
Don't attempt to do everything!
Although it can be very tempting to apply for all the jobs you are presented with, and juggle them all at once, it is essential that you do not. It may seem as though you have enough time to tackle five different projects at once, but just one delay or hiccough in your schedule could mean the difference between getting all five done and getting only two and half done. Just take what you know for certain you can handle, given that you will need to have a life outside of your job to see family and friends, eat, drink and rest.

Five Top Errors made by First-time Linux Users
The new Linux Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10 have recently made their presence felt in the open software operating system market and with every latest edition of an open source OS product hitting the marketplace, there is advancement and an upgrade that surely goes into them making them more user-friendly and beneficial in terms of costs and efforts. Of course, it is a smart move to make when a user shifts from windows or Mac OS X to becoming a full-time Linux user since there is not much of cost involved in using the latter.
However, it must be noted that there are quite a few first-time Linux users who go wrong or are erroneous in using the open source OS. This article is a devoted to all those who are Linux first-timers including those who have shifted from Windows or Mac OS X to Linux. Here is a list of the top 5 errors from amongst many that are made by people who use Linux for the first time:
1. Linux is not Windows or to be more precise
Linux does not function exactly like the way a Windows OS or a Mac OS X functions. There does exist some difference, the kind of difference that you see between a normal laptop like that of Dell or HP and an Apple Macbook. Though there have been advancements made to Ubuntu and other Linux products enabling the integration of windows and Mac OS X alike features, deep down there are still differences. Hence, even a consumer-ready Maverick Meerkat is not like Windows and users should not expect it to be. This does not prove that Linux is a tough toy to play with, but it is essential to note there will be difference when it comes to open source OS systems and licensed OS systems.
2. Unwanted running as root is not mandatory
There is no requirement for Linux users to unnecessarily run as root meaning that Linux users don't typically have "root," or administrator access and this is considered to be one of the big differences between Windows and Linux OS. Having said that, it is not a mandatory rule that you should be scared of running as root, since there are some functions that require root privileges. Hence use the running as root, only for necessary tasks.
3. No need to hunt for software packages
A previous user of windows is mostly taught if not trained to search for software packages online (preferably through a Google search) and also end up paying for them too. With open source OS systems this is not the case. Especially with operating systems like Ubuntu which have the Ubuntu Software Centre, which acts as the software package manager, facilitates users in not just finding general and important software packages but also installing them for free (some of the restricted packages could be chargeable).
4. Do not fear the command line, just respect it
Being a Ubuntu Maverick Merkat user, you do not have to be scared of command line. Just respecting it, by using it for specific and special purposes is enough. It is more comfortable to type in a few commands, than clicking through the necessary screens in a GUI. The former is faster and far effective. Again, it is not completely necessary for users to use the command line always, but when it becomes mandatory users should not get stressed out.
5. Do not get the 'resistance to change' phobia
New users of Linux must not get apprehensive of shifting from predecessors like windows and Mac, but must be more open to this new change which in the long-run definitely would prove to be fruitful in many ways than ever. It is not hard to make this shift and it is definitely not harder to use the open source Linux systems. Just a little bit of effort and focus and life should become simple and easy.
I hope that these tips should come in handy for all the new Linux users (first-timers). Just Remember to keep it simple and not panic.

It's no accident I make textile jewelry.
I've been sewing all my life. In high school, I could start a dress in the morning and wear it that night on a date.
My textile jewelry is made of bright silk, bold wool, and fancy beaded felt.
I meticulously hand stitch the tiny glass beads to big felt rounds. And I make the silver chain by hand.
I love the feel of fabric. I taught myself metalsmithing as a contrast in hard and soft.
I try out combinations — apple green with magenta, metallic with matte. When my heart beats a little faster, I know I got it right.

Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro Denied Entry to Stadium for Not Being Vaccinated
Politics, Health, Sports
[Leer en español]
The president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, was denied entry to the Vila Belmiro soccer stadium in Sao Paulo for not having received the Covid-19 vaccine.
Regardless of whether someone has suffered from the virus or not, vaccination is a requirement for access to the Urbano Caldeira Stadium, where the 25th match of the Brazilian championship between the clubs Santos and Gremio was being played.
In a video made public by the local media Metrópoles, the president said he wanted to watch the match but was not allowed to enter the stadium because he was not vaccinated.
"Why [do they ask for] vaccination passports?" says Bolsonaro in the video. "Why? If I have more antibodies than with the vaccine."
Passando o feriado no litoral paulista, presidente @jairbolsonaro diz que foi impedido de assistir jogo do @SantosFC por não estar vacinado.
"Por que isso?", questionou em tom de indignação. pic.twitter.com/VcJ9t5qGTU
— Metrópoles (@Metropoles) October 10, 2021
The Brazilian president was one of the first presidents to be infected with the new coronavirus in July last year, and recovered with the help of a treatment based on azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine, according to his own words.
Since August, the Brazilian Football Confederation announced that the states would have the final say on the biosecurity protocols to be followed to allow public access to stadiums, and suggested vaccination or negative PCR test as the main requirement.
This is not the first time Bolsonaro has been banned for his vaccination status. Last month, while attending the UN General Assembly in New York, he was denied entry to a restaurant and decided to order take-out and eat outside the establishment.
Bolsonaro has said he will be "the last Brazilian" to receive the coronavirus vaccine.

Dry weather lets farmers get in fields
Apr 18, 2012 | Uncategorized
ADDISON COUNTY — The warm, dry weather this spring is unusual, but to some farmers it's come as a welcome change from last year.
According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, precipitation totals at the Burlington weather station are running about 3.3 inches below average, at just over 7 inches since Jan. 1. Vermont also saw record high temperatures in March. With little precipitation and very little snowmelt, the fields and forests are unusually dry.
"Everybody I've talked to is about five weeks ahead of where they were last year," said Jeremy Gildrien of Gildrien Farm, which recently moved to Leicester. "There wasn't that big spring melt, so we've been getting the fields plowed."
Jessica Neiles, a meteorologist at NOAA's Burlington office, said cycles of wet and dry weather are normal occurrences, just like cycles of hot and cold weather. This year, she said, has been especially dry: Red flag warnings are issued when the fire risk is high due to dry, windy weather, and there have been four so far this year. The office usually issues two red flag warnings per year — last year, there were none. And Neiles said those warnings began earlier than usual this year. Red flag warnings tend to occur in April and May, after snowmelt but before the height of the growing season.
The unusually dry weather comes just on the heels of a record-breaking year for precipitation. 2011 saw farmers struggling with fields too muddy to plow and late crop plantings. By mid-April last year, the total rainfall was at about 10.2 inches.
The dry weather this year meant the state was able to lift the manure spreading ban — in place to prevent manure from washing into waterways during the spring thaw — more than a week early, on March 21.
Andrea Ochs, president of the Addison County Farm Bureau, said the dry weather has actually been a boon for some farmers, but that the ideal planting weather might be a little too tempting for some.
"It's still kind of early for planting," she said. "I'm hopeful that we won't have any frost."
The downside of the dry weather comes later, though. Seeds need water to germinate, and Gildrien said those without an irrigation system could have some difficulty. Ochs said the apples at her family's Orwell operation, Crescent Orchards, will need rain by August to produce a good harvest, but other crops will need rain earlier.
Those who grow hay may see it grow with very little water, she said, but it will contain fewer nutrients.
Still, Gildrien said it's easier to water fields when they're too dry than to dry them off when they're too wet.
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center forecasts continued dry weather eight to 14 days out, but normal precipitation levels thereafter.
And, all in all, it's still early to make any assumptions about the growing season. For now, farmers are moving into the growing season with one eye on the weather.
"We're cautiously optimistic," said Ochs.

I thought I might do some nice baking for Mr Lid. So I asked what his favourite was, seeing as he is not the biggest sweet tooth I was not surprised by his answer. Lemon slice.
Well he didn't specify lemon slice- he just said 'something with lemon' gee oh so helpful!
So my mission today was to make my darling husband a healthy Lemon slice, coconut flour instead of regular flour, coconut oil instead of butter and honey instead of sugar- the result is an amazingly tart Lemon slice that is to die for. With subtle hints of coconut that goes so well with lemon, and honey… yum fresh honey- no sore throats in this house!
Mix everything together in a mixer or by hand- just make sure there are no lumps in the coconut flour.
Press into a small square tin lined with baking paper.
While the base is baking start the curd.
Put Lemon juice and coconut oil in a pot and bring to a simmer.
While it is heating up whisk remaining ingredients together.
Once Lemon juice mix has started to simmer whisk in egg mix- continue whisking till the mix thickens and bubbles.
Taste- add more honey if needed. Stir in soaked gelatine till dissolved.
Pour onto Base and let set.
This is a great Lemon curd recipe, just omit the gelatine and pour into a sterile jar ready to eat on toast, or for a dip with fruit, or just with a spoon.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Donors to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill handed over $250.8 million in fiscal 2007, up from $239 million last year to set the school's fourth straight record for private gifts received.
Those contributions came from about 100,000 donors, also a record, the school says.
Donations for the year, which ended June 30, were enough to create 18 endowed professorships and 114 scholarships for undergrads and fellowships for graduate students.
Notable 2007 gifts include a record $50 million from Dennis and Joan Gillings in support of the School of Public Health and $21.3 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for drug development.
The successes of 2007 pushed the school's Carolina First fundraising campaign to $2.2 billion in gifts and commitments, exceeding the $2 billion goal.
The campaign, which will end Dec. 31, has funded 199 endowed professorships and 717 scholarships and fellowships to date.
More than $781 million of the total raised so far has come from alumni, with corporations and foundations kicking in $839 million and the remainder coming from friends of the school.

Original Captain Marvel Director Breaks Silence On Nia DaCosta Helming The Sequel
By Corey Chichizola

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a behemoth force in the film industry, and is constantly growing with new installments. While we're currently occupying the interim period between phases, all eyes are on what the MCU will bring to the table with Phase Four and Five. Many of the newer heroes to the shared universe will be getting sequels, including Brie Larson's Captain Marvel. Candyman director/writer Nia DaCosta will be helming Captain Marvel 2, and now original director Ryan Fleck has broken his silence on the news.
The first Captain Marvel was directed and written by filmmaker duo Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden. The blockbuster introduced Carol Danvers to audiences before she eventually appeared in Avengers: Endgame, revealing a new type of origin story. Nia DaCosta will continue with the sequel that's currently expected to arrive sometime in 2022. And now Fleck has responded to this change in leadership on social media, posting:
Well, that's certainly a great outlook. It seems Ryan Fleck is just as excited as the general public to see what Nia DaCosta will do with Carol Danvers in the Captain Marvel sequel. And although Fleck and his collaborator Anna Boden helped introduce the character to the MCU, there's no hard feelings about the passing of the torch.
Ryan Fleck responded to Nia DaCosta's newly announced gig helping Captain Marvel 2 over on his personal Twitter. The sequel landing a director is a major step forward towards its eventually arrival in theaters, and Captain Marvel's highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What's more, the buzz around DaCosta's talent has been steadily building.
Nia DaCosta is a writer and director who first received critical acclaim for the 2019 crime thriller Little Woods. All eyes are on what she's bringing to the table with the upcoming Candyman sequel, which was co-written and produced by Jordan Peele. Candyman's first trailers have already captured the attention of moviegoers, paired with the praise she's already received from Peele and company. And after she brings that terrifying villain back to theaters, DaCosta will make her comic book debut with Captain Marvel 2.
Captain Marvel is currently streaming on Disney+. You can use this link to sign up for the streaming service.
Over the past few years, we've seen a number of horror directors easily transition into the world of superheroes. Horror legend James Wan's vision helped make Aquaman an unlikely success, with DC looking forward with a sequel and spinoff. Shazam! director David F. Sandberg started with projects Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation, and IT Chapter Two director Andy Muschietti's next project is the Flashpoint movie.
The first Captain Marvel movie was a prequel set in the 1990's, so Nia DaCosta's sequel has the potential to bring the character back to the present, or continue filling in the gaps of Carol Danver's timeline the MCU. There are decades where the character's location is a complete mystery-- presumably as she continued fighting the The Supreme Intelligence and forces of Kree.
The next installment in the MCU is Black Widow on November 6th. In the meantime, check out our 2020 release list to plan your next movie experience.

His Most Apostolic Majesty Passes
J.K. Baltzersen of Wilson Revolution Unplugged is the bearer of "the sad news that His Imperial and Royal Highness Archduke Otto, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, passed away this morning" — SKuKH Erzherzog Otto, RIP. "His Imperial and Royal Highness was in his 99th year, 505 days short of his centennial, born shortly before the outbreak of the Great War."
Enshrined on this blog's sidebar are these fine words of Archduke Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xaver Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius of Austria: "I am often asked if I am a republican or a monarchist. I am neither, I am a legitimist: I am for legitimate government. You could never have a monarchy in Switzerland, and it would be asinine to imagine Spain as a republic."
His Eminence Renato Raffaele Cardinal Martino remembers His Most Apostolic Majesty as "one of the Twentieth Century's greatest defenders of the Catholic faith and human dignity" — Otto von Habsburg has died. "As the head of one of Europe's most influential families, he became particularly disturbed by the rise of the great totalitarian ideologies, and fought equally against both National Socialism and International Socialism at significant risk to his own life," His Eminence said. "Otto von Habsburg's father, (Emperor) Blessed Karl of Austria, instilled in him from an early age that the office of a ruler is one of holy service and selfless sacrifice for the good of the peoples entrusted to him."
Llewellyn Harrison Rockwell, Jr. remembers His Most Apostolic Majesty as a "classical liberal scholar, who should have been emperor of Austria-Hungary," and as "[a] courageous opponent of national socialism and communism" — Otto von Habsburg, RIP. "As Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, another brilliant Austrian classical liberal Catholic, whose daughter was the Archduke's secretary, once told me: The Archduke was the only member of the European parliament not to need translation earphones, since he spoke all the languages. Such was the education of a future Kaiser."
Eulogizes Casa Santa Lidia, "Archduke Otto von Habsburg, who died on July 4 aged 98, began his public life as the infant crown prince of the multinational Austro-Hungarian Empire, and ended it as father of the multinational European parliament" — The end of an era.
Prays Mr. Baltzersen, "Seiner Kaiserliche und Königliche Hoheit Erzherzog Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renatus Ludwig Gaetan Pius Ignatius, requiescat in pace." Amen.
Labels: Classical Liberalism, Eastern Europe, Monarchism, Österreich, Passings, The Catholic Faith
"His Eminence Renato Raffaele Cardinal Martino remembers His Most Apostolic Majesty as "one of the Twentieth Century's greatest defenders of the Catholic faith and human dignity""
Since the Church is 'incompetent' to make such a judgement on economic matters, why should anyone care what Cardinal Martino has to say.
Of course, some I know would say who cares what Cardinal Martino has to say on any matter except perhaps for finding out what is not Catholic? ,but ...

How Long Do I Need to be in Rehab?
Drug and alcohol addiction rehab offers those suffering from addiction or abuse problems the opportunity to come clean once and for all. How long it takes to accomplish depends on number of factors. We will get to those things in a moment. First, the more important question is whether you are ready to seek the help you need for abuse or addiction.
It may be you are a drug or alcohol abuser who has not yet reached the clinical definition of addiction. As such, you may believe it is not necessary for you to seek professional help. However, thinking that way is a mistake. Almost every untreated abuse problem eventually ends up in addiction.
Perhaps you are visiting our website because you know you are already addicted. Provided you have openly admitting you have a problem and need help, you have already completed the first step on the road to recovery. Your next step is to get in touch with us so we can match you up with a rehab centre.
Because we believe in what residential treatment programmes have to offer, we tend to suggest this type of rehab treatment as the first and best option. The average residential programme goes no fewer than four weeks and no longer than 12. Some programmes can go longer if necessary.
A typical four-week programme will involve a detox period followed by several weeks of counselling therapies before concluding. Addicts who complete four-week programmes are then referred to aftercare in the weeks and months following. Aftercare is designed to provide additional support that will hopefully prevent relapse.
the types of therapies you respond to best.
All of these things will be taken into consideration when you undergo an initial treatment assessment. Assessments are conducted by trained medical staff and therapists upon your arrival.
One of the keys to the success of residential treatment comes by way of bespoke treatment plans. Simply put, no treatment plan works for every addict because each addict is different. We prefer to work with private rehab clinics that utilised the bespoke treatment strategy. By custom tailoring a treatment plan for each client, these facilities tend to see better results.
Nearly every rehab programme will start with detox. The detox process has been put in place to break the physical addiction to drugs or alcohol. It is a medically supervised process at the clinics we work with. And just a note of caution: you should never attempt detox on your own. It is considered a medical emergency, carrying with it a very real risk of serious injury or death.
Group Counselling – The support group concept has proved very productive over the last 80 years or so. Group counselling helps addicts get well by providing an environment that encourages the addict to openly and honestly deal with his or her problems among other supportive individuals.
CBT – Also known as cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT is a psychotherapeutic treatment originally developed to help those with anxiety disorders. It turns out CBT works well for drug and alcohol addiction too. CBT involves reaching a series of predetermined goals designed to identify flaws in the thinking of the addict, then retraining those thoughts in the proper direction.
Life Skills – Once an addict completes a residential treatment programme, he or she has no choice but to return to mainstream society. Nevertheless, in order to remain substance free, he or she needs to know how to deal with the pressures and temptations that will undoubtedly come their way. This is where life skills instruction comes in. Being trained in these skills enables recovering addicts to face life head-on and still overcome.
Many residential treatment facilities take advantage of things like art therapy, music therapy, mental and physical challenges, one-on-one counselling, and role-playing. There are dozens of proven therapies to choose from based on the individualised plan developed for each client.
Even after reading all of this, you might still be concerned about the length of time you will need to spend in rehab, should you agree to seek help. We would like to challenge you to think of it another way. Rather than worrying about having to undergo up to 12 weeks of treatment, think about your future after treatment is completed. You could have decades of addiction-free life ahead of you. Twelve weeks seems like nothing at all if you could enjoy the next 30 or 40 years free of the prison of addiction.
We know you didn't wake up one morning and suddenly decide to become an addict. We also know you had a life before your addiction problems began. It is our desire that you both enjoy an addiction-free life and a life that is better than what you had before you started down the road to addiction. Both are possible if you are willing to do whatever it takes to get well.

Originally published on People's Pundit Daily on Oct. 22, 2017.
When most think of the Long Island Sound, they picture a paradisal cut-out of communities between the eastern shores of Bronx County, New York City, and southern Westchester County. But in one of America's wealthiest small cities, hidden health dangers breed and flourish in man-made rainwater basins and un-permitted sewage pits.
Hen Island is located less than 500 feet off the shores of Rye and serves as the not-so isolated location of summer, primitive-living cottages. Residents do not rely on modern plumbing, instead collecting and storing untreated rainwater for domestic use. Human waste for years has been dumped in sewage pits, which are located only feet away from the shoreline of the pristine Long Island Sound.
In Milton Harbor, the island is just off the mouths of Mamaroneck and Rye harbors. It is owned and operated by Kuder Island Colony Inc., but regulated by the City of Rye and Westchester County. The 34 primitive cottages on the island have enjoyed exemption from federal, state and local sanitation regulations requiring residents to use potable municipal water sources–which consequently, are already available to the island–or approved water wells.
Ray Tartaglione, a homeowner-turned-activist, has been sounding the alarm on the potential health risks caused by these systems for years in Rye. When he first purchased his property on Hen Island, he was told the sewage and water systems were legal and grandfathered in. Mr. Tartaglione joined the board and later became the president, which is when he was granted access to records showing what he had been told was false.
But after holding meetings with the country health department and other agencies, he was voted off the board and his efforts were shut down. In 2008, the county removed lead investigator Ron Gatto without explanation and replaced him with Lenny Meyerson, who claimed to have inspected the island at the time and found no violations.
Worth noting, Mr. Gatto's initial inspection found systems were installed with PVC pipe, a clear indication that the "grandfathered" explanation doesn't hold water. While the original patent dates back to 1913, PVC/CPVC plastic piping for municipal plumbing wasn't introduced until the 1970s, roughly two decades after the systems were allegedly installed at Hen Island.
That plea went largely unanswered.
Mr. Tartaglione, who now heads the local environmental group Heal the Harbor, said sewage and other forms of human waste eventually end up in the pristine and environmentally-sensitive Long Island Sound. It's just 450 feet from where one home was listed on the market for $20 million.
Officials have said the dumping of raw sewage has stopped, a claim activists vehemently disputed. Video footage taken as recent as 2016 clearly shows the sewage pits. Given their location, it is irrelevant whether the sewage is directly dumped into the Sound or simply accessible through the water table.
Since 2003, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show the area has experienced a disproportionately high number of West Nile cases juxtaposed to the more-highly populated surrounding areas. In 2004, only Westchester County and Queens County reported cases to the CDC, and the area often boasts half the number of reported cases found in New York City.
Over the years, concerns over mosquito-transmitted viruses have grown to include the Zika virus. Infection during pregnancy can cause birth defects of the brain, including microcephaly and other severe brain defects. It is also linked to other birth problems such as miscarriage and stillbirth.
There have also been increased reports of Guillain-Barré syndrome, a very uncommon sickness of the nervous system. It is established to have a direct relationship with areas affected by Zika.
Westchester County Health Commissioner Peter DeLucia has claimed Hen Island has been inspected–in fact, as recent as last year–and he believed residents were taking precautions.
But Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla doesn't share the same sense of security.
People's Pundit Daily made multiple requests for official responses to these allegations, but they went unanswered.

Spring Training at Bear Mountain
It was spring training, World War II style. With soldiers and sailors traveling to stateside bases or overseas embarkation points, and civilians journeying to jobs at munitions plants far from their homes, the nation's railroads were jammed. Federal authorities suggested that the 16 major league baseball teams help ease travel burdens by shifting spring training to the East or Midwest -- the majors' terrain then -- and dropping the barnstorming trips home by rail from southern and western training camps. Eager to present a patriotic image, baseball happily complied. Starting in 1943 and continuing for the next two wartime springs, major leaguers battled frigid temperatures, rain and snow on a spring-training map stretching from New England to Missouri.
The Brooklyn Dodgers set up headquarters in New York's Hudson Valley at the Bear Mountain Inn, a cozy establishment with pool tables, fireplaces and dessert specialties like Stewed Mixed Fruits Fitzsimmons in honor of the Dodger pitcher known as Fat Freddie. When the weather turned surly, Branch Rickey, the Dodger general manager, arranged for workouts at the batting cage in the steam-heated West Point field house, a five-mile bus trip from Bear Mountain. ''Mr. Rickey had three or four ball fields behind the inn,'' Clyde King, a teenage pitcher with the wartime Dodgers, recalled recently from the Yankees' spring camp in Tampa, Fla., where he was serving as a special assistant. ''We'd be working out, and in back, on Hessian Lake, there would be ice skating.'' King remembered how ''I played checkers at night before the fireplace with Mr. Rickey. I played him 10 times and I beat him once.'' And Dearie Mulvey, a member of the Dodgers' ownership, ''played the piano while we'd sing songs.''

Welcome to Swoony Boys Podcast! This is our stop on the I AM THE TRAITOR Tour. It's no secret that we love these books and Allen Zadoff, which means we are super excited to be a part of this one!
The Program has sent Boy Nobody on countless missions, instructed to kill whichever target he was given. But now, after going rogue, he is on his own mission to rescue his friend Howard who was captured by The Program. Boy Nobody manages to free Howard as well as Tanya, a mysterious girl who was being held with him. Howard and Tanya help Boy Nobody collect information about his father, eventually revealing a dangerous secret that teaches Boy Nobody a valuable lesson -- he can't trust anyone.
Hi, Mr. Zadoff! Thanks for taking the time to talk with us today. We're excited for our readers to get to know you a little better. Let's get started!
Tell us a little about I Am The Traitor. What was it like writing the ending to the series and howyou feel when it was finally complete?
Now you've made me all sentimental, Swoony Boys! Do you see what your questions have done?
There's always a point in the writing process when the characters begin to come alive, and it almost feels like I'm working for them rather than visa versa. The book starts to write itself. Athletes call it "being in the zone". When I'm in the zone, writing is the most fun I can have in the world. But when I'm not in the zone and I'm struggling with something, I wish I'd gone to medical school like my mother told me I should.
I think it would be cool if Alex Rider and the Assassin teamed up for an adventure. They could teach each other a few things!
I wish cookies would help, but Hollywood is immune to cookies. (Brownies on the other hand…) At this point, I can tell you that the book was optioned by Sony Pictures and developed by Overbrook Entertainment. The companies have until the end of 2015 to decide if they want to make a movie or not, so we should know something definitively in the next six months.
If you weren't a writer, what would you be? And the answer is, I would be an astrophysicist, a cop, or a CIA agent. Those are three professions I'd really like to try. The nice thing about being a novelist is I can pretend to be a lot of things, so I'm not complaining about my current job!
Thanks so much for stopping by, Allen! This was an absolute blast.
Allen Zadoff is the author of the THE UNKNOWN ASSASSIN series as well as several acclaimed novels including FOOD, GIRLS, AND OTHER THINGS I CAN'T HAVE, winner of the Sid Fleischman Humor Award and a YALSA Popular Paperback for Young Adults. Allen's action-packed series debut, I AM THE WEAPON (formerly BOY NOBODY), is a page-turning thriller about a teenage assassin that has already been optioned for film by Sony Pictures & Overbrook Entertainment. The book was featured in the Los Angeles Times' Summer Reading guide and has received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and VOYA. Kirkus Reviews called I AM THE WEAPON "fast, furious, and fun." Look for the sequel, I AM THE MISSION, beginning in June 2014. Allen is a graduate of Cornell University and the Harvard University Institute for Advanced Theatre Training. His training as a super spy, however, has yet to be verified.
Check out the other stops on the tour by clicking the image below!
Congrats, Allen, on the completion of the series! Are there any other books in the wings we can look forward to?
I can't believe this series is already finished! I read the first book by chance and enjoyed it a lot, however I lost track of this series, so now that it's finished I have to catch up!
Ps. I have a US address!
Sounds like an exciting read, THANKS!
Love the interview… Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

CSRM Researcher Wins UQ Excellence Award
A group of talented researchers and supervisors has been recognised at a special ceremony tonight for 2012 Research Week at The University of Queensland.
The 2012 UQ Foundation Research Excellence Awards and the Awards for Excellence in Research Higher Degree Supervision are a highlight of Research Week (September 17-21).
UQ welcomed guest speakers Professor Aidan Byrne, CEO of the Australian Research Council, and The Hon Mr Dale Shuttleworth MP, State Member for Ferny Grove and Minister's Parliamentary Special Adviser on Science and Innovation.
Now in their 14th year, the UQ Foundation Research Excellence Awards encourage excellent early career researchers and support their career advancement.
2012 saw $626,000 bestowed on eight researchers from a range of faculties, centres, schools and institutes across the University.
The 2012 winners are:
Dr Brock Bastian, of the School of Psychology, receives $72,000 to explore the potential benefits of physical pain, in particular how controlled and moderate pain may be energising and rejuvenating for individuals, may be meaningful, and may motivate interpersonal connection and strengthen group life.
Dr Oliver Baumann, of the Queensland Brain Institute, receives $70,000 to investigate the role of the human cerebellum in emotion regulation, which may enable a better understanding of and potential treatment for a range of disorders that have been linked to cerebellar dysfunction, including schizophrenia, autism and depression.
Dr Tamara Davis, of the School of Mathematics and Physics, receives $85,000 for her research into the nature of dark energy – making new predictions for astronomical observations that may help explain why the expansion of the universe is accelerating.
Dr Daniel Franks, of the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining, receives $81,000 for his project to critically reflect on how the resources sector is addressing the challenges of sustainable development and the role of communities, civil society, government and industry sustainability professionals in such change.
Dr Richard Fuller, of the School of Biological Sciences, receives $85,000 for his project to determine how much of the world should be set aside for conservation to enable long-term survival of wild plant and animal species, and to improve the planet's resilience to environmental challenges such as climate change.
Dr Ryan Taft, of the Institute for Molecular Bioscience, receives $85,000 for his research to discover the genetic mutations that underlie rare paediatric brain deterioration disorders, which will eventually lead to reliable and rapid genetic screening and the development of tailored therapies.
Dr Da-Wei Wang, of the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, receives $78,000 for his research to develop highly reliable, high-energy lithium batteries that can be used to power electric or hybrid vehicles and smartphones.
Dr Graeme Were, of the School of English, Media Studies and Art History, receives $70,000 for his research into how people in the Asia-Pacific region access, use and apply digital images in the course of their lives. The research will lead to an understanding of how local people utilise digital images to relate to their past and their land, a revival of local traditions and practices, as well as assisting museums in understanding issues around cultural restitution.
UQ Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Alan Lawson congratulated the award winners, all of whom show exceptional promise to be leaders of discovery.
"These awards matter not only for the future of research at UQ, but also for the global competitiveness of Queensland and Australia," Professor Lawson said.
"By encouraging young innovators to continue careers in research, we help Australia foster the talent that will contribute to addressing global problems," he said.
"During the life of these awards we have provided about $8.6 million to 118 researchers, some of whom have attracted tens of millions of dollars to Queensland, and have helped shape the economy as well as their own areas of research.
"UQ is committed to continuing this annual awards program, and to working with governments, industry, philanthropists and not-for-profits to fund the projects of promising young researchers."
Three supervisors received the UQ Awards for Excellence in Higher Research Degree Supervision.
Approximately 4000 students are enrolled in research higher degrees at UQ and their success is underpinned by advisors who guide them through their candidature. Since 2000, UQ has acknowledged and rewarded outstanding advisors through these awards.
The Dean of the UQ Graduate School, Professor Zlatko Skrbis, paid tribute to this year's winners and the importance of the awards in recognising the dedication and inspiration of these advisors in shaping tomorrow's research leaders.
"Great supervisors are key to the overall research experience and play an integral role in enabling the students to realise their academic potential," Professor Skrbis said.
Professor Stephen Adkins, of the School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, who has promoted extensive collaboration with international and industry partners, and fosters an empathetic and team-minded approach among his RHD students, including a mentoring program.
Professor Richard Morgan, of the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering and Director of the Centre for Hypersonics, who has encouraged development through international student exchanges with overseas collaborators, whilst engendering internal cooperation within the study body.
Professor Jenny Ziviani, of the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and Queensland Health, who has worked with students to ensure they have realistic goals, build a national and international research network, and are exposed to incremental learning experiences tailored to their needs.
Commendations for Excellence in Research Higher Degree Supervision have been awarded to:
Professor Bill Vicenzino, of the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, for his considerable contribution to the mentoring of research higher degree students at UQ.
Dr Barbara Sullivan, of the School of Political Science and International Studies, Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, for her outstanding supervisory practice and considerable contribution to the mentoring of research higher degree students at UQ.
